Numerology is the study of numbers and the relationship between numbers and certain characteristics of an individual's personality. The earliest and most original intellectual discovery of Man is the concept of numbers. The set of numbers from 1 to 9 which was complemented by the most unique concept of zero which is the contribution of ancient Indian philosophers to the world. With numbers came Mathematics which is essentially an abstract concept and Mathematics then invaded all branches of human knowledge and strengthened it and also made it possible to develop the applied sciences which then can be used for the improvement and upliftment of human life in general.

Numbers have no real or physical significance. It is a symbol only. Using these symbols all mysteries of nature can be revealed. The art and science of numerology has evolved in all ancient civilization- Ancient Egyptian civilization or Mayan civilization. The kavala numbers in ancient Jewish civilization have all developed there own numerology science. The Vedic philosophers used the concept of magic squares to create numeric Yantras for different rituals and prescriptions. Based on all these ancient knowledge, the modern numerology science has evolved during the 19th century and early 20th century. One of the pioneers of modern numerology is the famous numerologist Cheiro whose book on numerology is one of the most popular books on the subject.

The common philosophical concepts behind Numerology are as follows:

· All numbers are mystical symbols of cosmic energy.

· Each number is connected with a particular celestial body like sun, moon etc. and is influenced by these celestial bodies. These celestial bodies emit measurable vibrations which can exert influence through the temperament.

· Each number provides some significant key to human personality and behavior and action.

· Each number has both good and bad influence associated with it.

Every person has a unique feature the only thing that is required is to have a proper guidance. Our name, date of birth and various other factors play an important role to mold a real you. It is thus important to know if Numbers play an important role and if a name change can bring a difference in our life in a positive way.

Vedic Astrology is the study of positions of heavenly bodies like Sun, Moon, Mars etc. with respect to the zodiac and the interpretation of the effect of such heavenly bodies on the events in the life of an individual or a country or the whole world. It is called Vedic Astrology, because the principles on which the study and interpretations are made were first enumerated in the 'Vedas' - the first treatise of ancient Hindu philosophy.

What is Zodiac? <?xml:namespace prefix = o /><o:p></o:p>

If we imagine a path in the sky at approximately 18 degrees arc in the width encircling the earth in an east west direction, groups of stars will appear to be apparently fixed with respect to earth along this imaginary path. There are 27 groups of stars in the path which are recognized by Vedic Astrology. These groups of stars in the imaginary path are called zodiac. This zodiac forms the reference for fixing up the position of any planet or star in the sky. Since this zodiac is encircling the earth it can be measured as 360 degrees, where these 27 groups of stars are evenly placed, hence each of them have a span of 360 degrees/27 = 13 degrees 20' arc.

What are Zodiac Signs or Rashis?<o:p></o:p>

When the zodiac is divided into 12 equal parts each having a span of 30 degrees arc, then each of this arc is called a zodiac sign. A sign, therefore, will consist of 2 ¼ groups of stars. A particular group of stars called Ashwini, in the zodiac is considered the starting point of the zodiac and is called the star no.1. Similarly, there are individual name for the 26 group of stars. Ashwini (1), Bharini (2), Krittika (3) are the first three stars in the zodiac. As stated earlier, the first span of 30 degrees arc in the zodiac will consist of Ashwini, Bharini and ¼ of Krittika constitute the first zodiac sign called 'Aries'. The name of the remaining 11 zodiac signs after 'Aries' are: Taurus (2), Gemini (3), Cancer (4), Leo (5), Virgo (6), Libra (7), Scorpio (8), Sagittarius (9), Capricorn (10), Aquarius (11) and Pisces (12).

What are Rahu and Ketu?<o:p></o:p>

Moon's apparent path around the earth intersects the ecliptic obliquely at two points called the 'Nodes'. The point where the Moon crosses the ecliptic from south to north is called the ascending node or 'Rahu' when it crosses the ecliptic from north to south is called the descending node or 'Ketu'. These 2 points are 6 zodiac signs or 180 degrees apart. The positions of these two points with respect to zodiac signs are of equal importance to position of other planets with respect to zodiac sign in Vedic astrology.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

What is Ascendant/Rising Sign? <o:p></o:p>

The ecliptic passes through the center of the zodiacal belt which extends 9 degrees on its either (north or south) side. The planets remain within the limits of the zodiac. The earth rotates around its axis once in twenty- four hours from west to east. As a consequence, all planets appear to revolve around the earth from east to west once in twenty four hours. The zodiac with its stars and signs fixed upon it also appears to revolve around the earth from east to west once in every 24 hours. Thus, all points on signs and stars on the zodiac will appear to successfully rise in the eastern horizon and set at the western horizon once in 24 hours. Thus, for every point and time on earth there will be a unique point on a particular zodiac sign which will be rising at the eastern horizon.
When an individual is born, the point in the particular zodiac sign, expressed in longitude, which is rising at the eastern horizon at the exact time of his/her birth for the exact latitude/longitude of the place where he/she is born is the unique space time coordinate for the individual. This is called the individual's Ascendant (Lagna) or the Rising Sign.

What is Janma Rashi/ Moon Sign/Moon Ascendant? <o:p></o:p>

In Vedic Astrology, the exact position of the Moon at the exact time of birth with respect to the zodiac sign and the point in the zodiac sign expressed in longitudes will be Janma Rashi/ Moon Sign/ Moon Ascendant.

What is Sun Sign/ Sun Ascendant?<o:p></o:p>

Like the Moon sign, the longitude of Sun with respect to zodiac at the exact time of birth is the Sun Sign of the individual. Western astrology lays great importance on Sun signs and ALL YOUR ZODIAC SIGNS are your Sun signs as per Vedic astrology. The Sun sign on the basis of Western astrology and Vedic Astrology will differ by one sign many a times. This is because as per Western astrology the zodiac is also moving, whereas, the Vedic astrologers consider the zodiacs to be fixed. The reason why this difference comes will be explained on the web page at a later date. Meanwhile, we are just mentioning this so that you do not get alarmed to see the difference in the zodiac sun signs when computed by the Vedic astrology.

The Zodiac is an imaginary ring in the sky which encircles our solar system like a girdle. To determine the positions of the planets on this circle we need some reference point, a point which will remain fixed while the heavenly bodies keep moving.The seers of Vedic Astrology took a faraway star which remains stationary and the position of the planets were determined by referring them to this fixed star cluster. This is known as the sidereal system. Sidereal means measured by stars. The fixed star cluster chosen for the purpose is taken as the 1st degree of Aries, the starting point of the Indian Zodiac.The Western system also uses a fixed reference point but utilises the equinoxes for the purpose. Interestingly, 1st degree of Aries is yet again the starting point of the Western Zodiac. But the major difference is that the position of the Sun on Vernal equinox (the first day of spring) is taken as the 1st degree of Aries. This works equally well because the Sun moves 360° in a year. This is known as the Tropical Zodiac.Taking two different reference points does not make one system valid and the other invalid. In fact, one can be mathematically deduced from the other. Ancient Indians were aware of this. They knew that, because of the perpetual titling of the earth the equinoxes moved approximately 1° in every 72 years. So, they introduced the idea of 'Ayanamsha' to accommodate the procession of the equinoxes (Ayanchalan).Hence, the Western Tropical Zodiac is called 'Sayan' (with Ayan) i.e., with the procession of equinoxes and the Sidereal Zodiac is called 'Nirayan' (without Ayan) where this is ignored.The planets and the houses in both systems are the same. There are some differences in approach. For example, in Indian Astrology the most important reference point in a Horoscope is the 1st house known as Ascendant while in the Western System the Sun occupies the central place.

All about Karma. <o:p></o:p>

What is Karma? The best meaning of the word which captures its essential spirit has been given by the great saint Paramhansha Yogananda. I am quoting from his famous book 'Autobiography of a Yogi'.

"Fate, Karma, destiny-call it what you may- there is a law of justice which somehow but not by chance determines our race, our physical structure and some of our mental and emotional traits. The important thing to realize is that while we may not escape our own basic pattern we can work in conformity with it. That is where free will comes in. we are free to choose and discriminate to the limits of our understanding, and as we rightly exercise our power of choice, our understanding grows. Then, once having chosen, a man has to accept the consequences of his choice and go on from there." Does it not sound very similar to <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Newton</st1:place></st1:City>'s third law of motion: "To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"

The theory of Karma recognizes 3 kinds of Karma in our life. They are as follows:<o:p></o:p>

a) "Sanchit Karma"- The good and bad Karma that we inherit from our past lives in this life.
b) "Praravdha Karma"- The net balance of good and bad Karma which we inherit from past lives in this life which we must experience in this life
c) "Kriyaman Karma"- The good and bad karma that we have earned from action in this life itself at any given point of time.

Out of these 3 Karmas, the a and c Karma types and their effects can be neutralized by present good and bad karmas in this life itself. But the net effect of Praravdha Karmas whether it is good or bad have to be experienced in this life itself. This theory of Karma does not accept that our life is totally predestined, our free will and the choices that we make at critical junctures in our life also play an equally important part. Hence it is not correct to say that whatever is supposed to happen is going to happen in our life and we are just hapless puppets dancing under the strings of our fate or destiny. If there was no choice and everything that happens in our life was predestined, then astrology or astrological predictions would have no relevance in human civilization.

The Horoscope: The position of planets in different signs and houses and the strengths of different planets and houses in our natal chart reflect the Praravdha Karma and the pre-destined events in our life. These are also called "Drirah" or Fixed Karma or fixed results in our life, which an astrologer will analyze from a person's natal chart and can also predict when they are likely to happen by analyzing the Dasha system.

But there are another kind of Karma, which consists of "Sanchit Karma" and "Kriyaman Karma" These are called Adrirah Karma or probable Karma and they are not predetermined. Astrologer can make a forecast only by analyzing the divisional charts computed from natal charts as well as by analyzing the transit status of each planet and what relationship the transit planets are forming with the planets in the natal chart. This forecast can only talk about probable events and whether a particular planet is supporting or challenging. However the actual event in a person's life will really be based on the choices that a person makes based on his/her free will.
A person can then shape his own destiny between his fixed destiny and probable destiny by exercising his free will.

I shall end this by again quoting the immortal words of Paramhansha Yogananda from his Autobiography of a Yogi, which clearly brings into perspective the role of astrology and Karma in our life, "A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual Karma, his horoscope is a challenging portrait, revealing his unalterable past and its probable future results. But the natal chart can be rightly interpreted only by men of intuitive wisdom; these are few."

The truly wise man however shapes his own destiny:

Quoting from Yogananda:<o:p></o:p>

"Occasionally I told astrologers to select my worse periods, according to planetary indications, and I would still accomplish whatever task I set myself. It is true that my success at such time has been accompanied by extraordinary difficulties. But my conviction has always been justified; faith in the divine protection, and the right use of man's God-given will, are forces formidable beyond any other."<o:p></o:p>

All these years we have had the best experience interacting with members all over the world. It is a relationship which is rare to consider but it does exist. A relationship, where we do not even meet but where we share our experience, our doubts and our worries. Sometimes we may not have been able to assist you in a satisfactory manner but your patience and trust has always helped us to move ahead and keep the relationship strong.

I have been receiving a lot of mails where members have requested for the Happiness Index to be restored in the Free Membership Category. It was a decision that had to be taken keeping in mind the changes in the membership format. Happiness index had to be removed from Free Membership category and was included in Silver membership and Gold membership category. This was necessary to create a rational differential among the three different category of membership (Free, Silver and Gold membership)

In order to acknowledge your commitment of staying with us as free member for all these years, we introduced a new report called the Quick Report which includes report based on your personalized natal chart covering different aspects of your life. We will continue adding more reports in this category. We also believed in the fact that our members who had been with us would like to avail more facilities in the best possible way. This was when we introduced the Silver and Gold Membership.

We thanked our members in our own little way by crediting 50 reward points which you could and can immediately encash to upgrade your membership to either Silver/ Gold. Chances are very few that our members would not like the benefits offered to them as premium members. So, have a look at the services offered. You will not only be able to view the Happiness Index Report but also get a whole range of benefits. Please click here to have a quick look on the benefits of being a premium member.<o:p></o:p>

The Sanskrit for Horoscope is "Kundali". The birth chart or natal chart in Sanskrit is then called "Janma Kundali". By definition a horoscope depicts the position of all the planets in heaven for given date, time and sun sign. This date and time is critical because planets are in constant motion and their positions are continuously changing. The horoscope indicates the position of each planet with respect to the 12 zodiac signs. Each Zodiac sign represents 30 degrees of movement for each planet and the 12 Zodiac signs represent 360 degrees movement of each planet. Each planet moves at different speeds and at varying speeds each day. We also do the Astrology sign compatibility so that you can know how compatible you are with your loved ones. Moon is the fastest moving planet, and it takes approximately two and half days to travel through each Zodiac sign.

Ascendant or Lagna<o:p></o:p>

Saturn is the slowest planet among Vedic astrology planets. It takes approximately 21/2 to complete its movement through one zodiac sign. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are even slower than Saturn. Apart from the position of each planet, the other most important parameter of the chart is called Ascendant or "Lagna" in Sanskrit. This is referred to as a point in a particular zodiac sign represented by a longitude expressed in degree, minutes and second and it is computed based on the exact Latitude/Longitude of the place where the particular person is born.

Every place on the surface of the earth has a unique ascendant sign and ascendant degree among the 12 zodiac signs at any given date and time of birth. The Ascendant point signifies the exact eastern horizon at the exact date, time and place of birth of a person. This is the unique space and time signature of a person. The Ascendant sign in the chart is also known as the first house of the chart. Every other sign in the zodiac then becomes the other houses in the chart in the anticlockwise direction. If the Ascendant sign is Aries in a horoscope chart, then the next zodiac sign in the anticlockwise direction is Taurus. Taurus will be considered as 2nd house in the chart. Similarly each of the 12 zodiac signs will then represent 12 houses in the chart. So the natal horoscope chart signifies the individual planet positions in different zodiac signs and the ascendant and 12 houses in the chart based on the date, time and place of birth. This is the permanent chart of an individual, which does not change as the birth details do not change.<o:p></o:p>

Dasha Chart<o:p></o:p>

Every birth chart has a dasha chart, which starts from the date and time of birth and is unique for every individual. This uniqueness comes from the start of the Dasha system for the person. A person's Dasha system can start from any point within the sequence described above. Once the starting point is computed from the birth chart, then it must follow the sequence given above. This starting point is not chosen at random but it follows a definite mathematical logic and is computed from the exact longitude and zodiac sign where Moon is located in the natal horoscope chart.

To analyze smaller time durations in a person's life, the Dasha system (Planet Main Period) can be further sub-divided into Antar Dasha (sub-period) or it can be further divided into 3 rd level of Pratyantar Dasha (sub-sub periods). Theoretically we can create charts even to 5th level covering few hours of a person's life, which is called Sukshma Dasha.

However it is not reliable or practical to create a chart beyond 3rd level as mentioned above because our birth time is never totally accurate, and even if a person has clear birth time recorded at the time of birth, the associated error will be exotically reflected beyond 3rd level and no reliable analysis can be done. Besides there are different opinions among Vedic astrologers on which moment during birth constitutes the actual birth time. I am not going to such controversies in this article. The dasha system reflects that planets deliver their natal promises during their period, sub-period and sub-sub periods as per the person's chart.

The birth chart becomes the main tool in the hands of an astrologer to predict when and what events will take place in a person's life.<o:p></o:p>

The Transportation Worker Identification Credential program is broken. Millions of dollars have been spent propping up a program that has floundered since inception. Instead of pouring more money into this bottomless pit of mistakes, the Department of Homeland Security should stop drafting the biometric reader regulation and determine if TWIC truly enhances port security.
The TWIC credential is the perfect example of a program that has done more harm than good. Thousands of people spent countless sleepless nights in 2008 and 2009 waiting for the DHS to process their credential paperwork after the agency told them they couldn't go to work if they didn't have a credential.
So these individuals dutifully filled out their paperwork and paid more than $100 for a card they were told would help improve our nation's port security. The DHS, however, didn't provide the credentials in a timely manner. Why? Because it lost applicants' paperwork; it had computer problems; and it had general problems manufacturing the cards.
Regardless of what was going on at the DHS, thousands of transportation workers couldn't go to work, and they couldn't earn a paycheck.
Fast-forward to 2013. The Government Accountability Office released a report this week recommending that Congress halt DHS's efforts to promulgate the final reader regulation until the agency completes a security assessment of the program.
The report came out after the DHS held four public meetings around the country. It came out after the U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Robert J. Papp sent a letter to Bennie Thompson, ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, stating that the public comment period for the rule-making had been extended but that none of the comments received to date indicated more time was needed for comment.
Public meetings such as the ones held in Washington, Houston, Seattle and Chicago to discuss the proposed reader regulation are a financial burden. Interested people travel from around the country to present their comments and most of them stay at hotels. A quick Internet search found that hotel rooms in Chicago, Seattle and Houston cost between $100 and $200 a night. Multiplying the cost of the hotel rooms, food and the time lost due to travel for all those who attended these meetings and taking into account the time it took for individuals to draft their comments is staggering.
The DHS knew about the GAO findings before the public meetings occurred and before Adm. Papp sent his letter. The fiscally prudent solution would have been for the DHS to stop the regulation and cancel the meetings. Holding the meetings was wasteful to the government and those who attended. It also demonstrated a continued disregard on the government's part toward transportation workers.
Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the subcommittee on government operations, on Thursday held a hearing on the TWIC reader program, during which the GAO was asked to testify on its findings. The DHS sent a career official to defend the much-maligned credential, an official who will not make the final decision on TWIC's future. That decision will come from DHS political appointees, and they should have been the ones to testify.
Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent on the TWIC program over the past 10 years. Transportation workers have spent millions of dollars to attain this card, money that could have been spent on rent, groceries and everyday needs.
It's time for the DHS political appointees to focus on helping instead of harming transportation workers. The DHS should stop the reader regulation and finally determine the benefits of this supposed extra layer of security.

I know we have a few ladies who's due dates are creeping up and a lot of us who still have a while, but how are you getting ready for your upcoming labor? No matter how early or how far you are along, there are things that you can do to prepare yourself for your upcoming labor. Did you take the classes at a local hospital or birthing center? My husband and I took a labor class along with a comfort skills class which included all the massage techniques and breathing practice for labor. There are also other classes, but I chose not to attend all of them. My hospital offers a medicated birth option class which I decided that since I'm a nurse I probably know enough to not attend that one. They also offer a class on the unexpected things that can happen such as a c-section, and a class that is a labor dress rehearsal so to speak. I've been trying to read through the sections about labor in my pregnancy books and learn as much as I can about how labor progresses and some of the things that can happen so that I'm as prepared as I can be.
What are you concerned with when you are thinking about your upcoming labor? I think my biggest worry as a new mom is just that it's so new and I have no clue what to expect or how I will react to the discomforts that labors bring. All labors are different as well, so if I have a difficult labor this time it's still hard to say what kind of a labor I'll have the next time. I also think a lot of us worry about having to be induced or have an unexpected c-section, it's just hard to predict what might happen.
Are you bringing anything special with you to help during labor? I had used a program from Circle and Bloom to help with relaxation for trying to conceive and they offer a relaxation program for labor as well. I'm hoping it will help me get in the zone and be as relaxed as possible. The hospital also suggested some items to use in massage at the class we attended. We practiced massage with a pool noodle (the ones with the hole in the middle, you cut them to a shorter length). They had you roll them back and forth across your back for massage. They also recommended tennis balls for rolling around on your back during labor for cheap massage tools. They're easy to pack in your bag and you could throw them away after you're done with them. I'm also for sure bringing my ipod to help with some relaxing music during labor!!

True puppy love explained
Editor's note: This is the first in a series of three columns about children and pets.
I believe it was the day after our 15-year-old border collie-Lab mix died that my two children (ages 8 and 5 at the time) began to lobby for a new dog.
Even though we didn't miss her daily accidents and tumbleweeds of fur and old-age stink, the house wasn't the same without our sweet Sydney. We needed something furry and licky and waggy to love on us again, and of all pets, only a dog is capable of giving that particular ego-boost.
About four months later, my husband pointed out an advertisement in the pets section of the paper; my eyes subsequently oozed from their sockets as I gazed on the three most adorable creatures ever made in the world. They were five-week-old border collie pups, and I knew I had to have one, preferably that day.
I have included the photograph that ran in the paper, as proof that it wasn't a fair fight. No dog-lover in her right mind would have turned from those puppies. My husband and I drove out to the breeder the next day and picked out a pup from the litter (only three were left), and I took the little guy home to surprise the kids when they got home from school.
It was just like an after-school special, the way we all took to the energetic puppy, who we collectively named Harry (in honor of our favorite wizard, Harry Potter). But we soon began to see what it might mean to have a purebred border collie as a pet.
See, the breed was trained a long, long time ago to herd sheep. It's hard-wired in their DNA to be intense, athletic and hard-working. In lieu of actual sheep, they will try to herd anything that moves.
Harry took a liking to our feet. Every morning, by way of greeting, he would attack our moving feet with his little needle teeth. The kids were so traumatized by this that they carried bowls of dog treats downstairs in the mornings to distract him from his smelly prey. He also liked brooms and vacuums and scooters and bikes and small children running through the backyard.
But we didn't truly care about Harry's neuroses, for we already knew him to be the missing piece of our family puzzle. Then came the day that he started vomiting up his food. After a couple of days of periodic vomiting, I grew concerned, but his listlessness was the most alarming symptom. Based on what I knew about border collies, I surmised that a listless border collie pup was a sick one.
I took him to the vet, who told me that his kidneys weren't functioning properly and recommended that I take him to the specialty veterinarian to have some tests done. We all left poor limp Harry at this vet for testing, not quite believing we'd never see him again. The vet called us the next day to tell us that his nine-week-old kidneys were indeed failing (no reason could be determined without an autopsy), and gently suggested that we put him down.
It was one of the saddest days of my life. And yes, I cried for a long while after that phone call. But telling my husband and children, and watching them mourn poor Harry, was much more painful than my own grief.
With Sydney's death, an explanation was easier to give: she was old, she had a good life, we'll get a puppy. But how do you explain the death of the puppy? My mind was aswirl with existential notions about the unfairness of life, but children need something a bit more uplifting, more nourishing, in times of crisis.
My kids fell asleep that night with tear-stained faces, following some blubbery words I spoke about pets and how they teach us about unconditional love.
We learned, alright. But we hadn't learned our lesson about border collies. We picked up Harry's brother – the last of the litter – from the breeder the following week.

A gift that should stop giving
'Jingle All the Way 2' is expectedly flawed
Was anyone asking for an extra-large helping of Larry the Cable Guy this Christmas? If so, you can thank Santa Claus for Jingle All the Way 2.
If not, you can be like the rest of us and curse Santa for his folly in creating such a film. Santa, we neither wanted nor needed this.
A follow-up to the much-derided 1996 Christmas film Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2 isn't so much a sequel as it is an odd kind of remake, offering a few original twists on the original's dad-vs-dad holiday showdown, but also copying large chunks of the original without alteration. > Read more.

The Tennessee House and Senate have passed conflicting bills regarding what is a valid photo ID for voting. Monday night the House rejected the use of college IDs.
Democrats cried foul, saying Republicans – who passed the state's voter ID law two years ago – are again limiting the rights of Tennesseans.
Debate ended with pushback from the GOP's Majority Leader, Gerald McCormick.
"This idea of voter suppression is just not true. That's not what anybody is trying to do here. I'm getting tired of hearing it."
Members of the House say college IDs are too easy to forge, even though the senate OK'd them.
Differences between the two chambers will have to be worked out before heading to the governor's desk.
The House bill also prevents the use of city library cards, which were temporarily allowed during last November's election. By banning their use, House Republicans are basically reinforcing the two-year-old voter ID law.

Last night I attended the first Boston Mystery Meet. I didn't know very much about Mystery Meet, but I stumbled across it one day when I noticed I was getting some blog traffic from MysteryMeet.org. I feared my blog had somehow ended up on some Internet dating site and went to investigate. Turns out that Mystery Meet is not an online dating site but is something more like an online dining site. Mystery Meet gets foodies together at a different restaurant each month, but the particular restaurant is kept a secret until the event draws near (hence the mystery).
As soon as I discovered that this first Mystery Meet would be held at Ten Tables in Cambridge (and found out that some of my blogger friends were also going), I signed up for the dinner: a $40 four-course tasting menu.
Yesterday evening, I left our house, umbrella in hand, about an hour before the dinner was to start and strolled down to Harvard Square. My plan was to wander the streets nearby the restaurant to get a little fresh air before dinner. (I don't get enough time outdoors these days.) Well, that plan was soon foiled when the threat of rain became a reality, and I picked up the pace a bit and searched more earnestly for Ten Tables. Don't take the word searched lightly. Ten Tables is tucked down a little side street and is not the easiest place to find. Luckily, there's a rather large sign out front that you can see once you get close enough to it.
I thought the entranceway was quaint and inviting, so I snapped a quick picture of it in the rain before ducking inside.
As soon as I got into the restaurant, I found Meghan and met Kristen and began chatting with them while we waited for the others to arrive.
The restaurant is so tiny that it doesn't take long to take it all in. Its size is definitely part of its charm. I loved the wine rack, the shelf full of cookbooks, and the chalkboard with the dessert specials written on it. I wish I could show you pictures of everything, but it was just too dimly lit in there.
Soon Michelle and her fiance, Rachel, Justin, and some other "Mystery Meeters" showed up, and we all caught up and mingled while we waited to be seated.
And then the dinner began...

Sophie takes Missed Connection ads - you know, those kind of sad, hopeful 'we exchanged glances in Walmart and I knew you were the one' type ads you see in newspapers all over the world - and illustrates them beautifully.
Her blog is called Missed Connections and I think I have a bit of a massive girl crush on her for just thinking up the idea because it's really rather wonderful.
From her website...
"Messages in bottles, smoke signals, letters written in the sand; the modern equivalents are the funny, sad, beautiful, hopeful, hopeless, poetic posts on Missed Connections websites. Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I'm trying to pin a few of them down."
Now let me show you some of the wonderment that awaits...
Polka Dots in the Strand
Saturday, May 21, 2011
Ack! 'Round 7pm or so... I was browsing the shelves and saw you on the other side.
I swear I glimpsed our entire future together in that brief moment.
It was beautiful. And then someone asked you for the time.
I mean c'mon, who doesn't have a damn time-telling device of some sort these days!
Oh, if only I'd thought of that.
A White Hat of Indeterminate Origin
Wednesday, March 16, 2011
-m4w - 29 (Lower East Side)
I did a really bad job of trying to introduce myself on the subway.
I asked about your white fur hat because I liked it, but then I didn't know what to say afterward . . .
it was on the F train, from 2nd Ave to Jay St.
Write me if you don't mind guys that fumble over their words when they're nervous.
We Passed Each Other When the Sky Was Pink
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
-m4w - 29
I saw you for maybe a second or two. I've read missed-connections before and wondered why
people just didn't say something then and there.
Now I understand...perhaps it's because the moment is extraordinary; containing a fullness of its own...
and the thought that this person across from me is not a part of my everyday life,
and at any second will disappear, didn't even occur to me...
it seemed that we were in whatever it was together,
and that sort of connection rarely, if ever, happens between strangers, so my mind was a little slow
on registering that there would be no "some other time"
if neither of us asked for the others phone or email.
Now, hours later, the ripples created by those few tender seconds still gently rock something within me...
and I become a missed-connections poster.
Would you be interested in having tea or going on a ride?
There is a soft wistful quality to her illustrations which suits the nature of her subjects so well. A passing glance, a smile, a 5 second serendipitous moment that could change your life - and who doesn't love a good romantic story, however far fetched? This is the stuff of romantic novels, people and escapism at it's artistic best.
To see more of this extraordinary collection, please visit Sophie's blog, Missed Connections. Even better, if you would like to purchase her illustrations, she has a lovely Etsy Shop here.

18th C. Table Cut Diamond Ring
Early forms of diamonds are fascinating. First on the scene was the pointed cut, which poetically was referred to as "a writing diamond" for it point which supposedly could be dipped into ink and used as a quill point. The next type was the example illustrated here, that of the table cut with a flat top facet and one on each side appearing as a bevel. This cut was used primarily in the 17th and 18th century.
This table cut diamond is in a typical dome with a pie crust edge and set closed back in a rub over style. The visible parts of the diamond are 4 mm by 4 mm. Please note that closed back set diamond weights are not calculated, as the depth is not able to be measured. The mount itself is 14k to 15k rose gold over silver and the replaced but early shank is 14k to 15k rose gold.
Date: Circa 1770, shank is antique but later.
Measurements: 3/8 of an inch (1.0 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 1/4 of an inch (0.8 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 3.1 grams (2.0 dwt).
Ring Size: US 5-3/4 (UK L; Euro or Int. Circum. 51.2 mm; Int. Dia. 16.3 mm; Japan over 10) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Very good for its age. Diamond has not been removed and reset as its rub over gold and silver collet is air tight; shank has been replaced with later but antique shank; connection points show small traces of silver solder.
Origin: European.

"Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed." That line heard 43 years ago on a fuzzy black-and-white television set, the voice a lot clearer than the picture.
We are supposed to remember Neil Armstrong and the American achievement of that July with the line "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." I prefer the less illuminated and simple phrase of "Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed."
Neil Armstrong dead at 82 comes as a surprise because Right Stuff pilots aren't supposed to die. Despite all the right stuff and being that exact individual whose destiny was to be the first of the species to gain another terrestry, Neil Armstrong was a quiet man, more the pilot, engineer and scientist than media animal.

Summary: Produced annually, the NHIS is a continuing nationwide survey conducted in households. It includes a "core" set of questions on health-related variables which generally change little from year to year, and supplements which can vary yearly. The NHIS core is organized into household, person, doctor visit, hospital stay, and condition files and includes demographics as well as such items as type of living quarters, size of family, work-loss days, school-loss days, limitation of activity, injuries, place and date of doctor visit, type of doctor seen, hospital admission and discharge dates, hospital ownership, type of service, and type of condition. The NHIS supplements have covered such topics as immunization, AIDS, disability, access to care, health insurance, environmental health, hearing, diabetes, pregnancy and smoking, cancer, dental care, and eye care.

So you're sweating over how you're going to fit a mountain of leftovers, a produce department's worth of vegetables and three pies into your refrigerator.
Whether you have the latest stainless-steel model or a 10-year-old workhorse, these tips will keep your fridge organized into the new year:
Give it a spin
An inexpensive lazy Susan fits on a fridge shelf for easy access to jams, spreads and other often-used add-ons.
Square it up
Square and rectangular containers for wrangling small items are easier to stack and fit into fridge spaces, leaving less wasted space than round ones.
Clean smart
Custom fridge shelf liners are adorable, but sticky cling wrap, like Glad Press n' Seal, works just as well. When the inevitable spill happens, just remove and replace for easy clean-up.
Make your mark
Take a cue from professional chefs and label your leftovers with painter's tape and a Sharpie, so you know exactly how long that chicken has been in there.

City officials hope a new ordinance can curb public disturbance problem areas.
Chronic Nuisance Ordinances have been used by other municipalities, such as Milwaukee, to encourage responsibility from establishment and property owners in handling the reoccurring need for police intervention for certain disturbances, City Attorney Logan Beveridge said.
"This is something I looked into in response to the number of police involvement incidents down on the square and other places downtown," he said. "Essentially, we are expending a lot of police resources in a very small area, in a lot of very similar incidents."
The ordinance would let police consider multiple specific disturbances a chronic problem if they occurred over a certain time frame, Beveridge said.

Hot Fuzz Filming LocationsDirector: Edgar Wright
Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Bill Bailey, Jim Broadbent, Steve Coogan, Timothy Dalton, Martin Freeman, Edward Woodward
Nicholas Angel is the finest cop London has to offer, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force. He's so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superiors send him to a place where his talents won't be quite so embarrassing - the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford.

External shots in Hot Fuzz were filmed in Wells, Somerset in the UK.

Simon Skinner (Timothy Dalton) was the store manager at this Somerfield Supermarket, here we see Nicholas Angel tackle a shop lifter in a way that only Nicholas Angel would.

Market Square was the most used location in Hot Fuzz. It plays home to the newsagent where Nicholas Angel and Danny Butterman shop, The Crown pub (exteriors only were shot here) and the fountained graffiti. It's also where most of the finale scenes were filmed.

After lengthy negotiations between the EU and Canada, the two sides are set to hold a final meeting on a free-trade agreement dubbed by the Canadian media to be the country's largest and most important international trade pact in a generation.
According to Germany's Ambassador to Canada, Werner Wnendt, some key issues still need to be discussed at an expert level before going to ministers for approval.
Once negotiations are complete, both sides would conduct a legal review of the text and hold ratification votes, including in the House of Commons and Senate in Canada, a process that is likely to take at least a few months.
When the deal will go into effect, it will immediately eliminate tariffs on approximately 98 percent of European goods in Canada. Such a measure will lead, according to analysts, to a three-to five-percent drop in the price of consumer goods ranging from European automobiles to clothing to coffee makers.
However, several Canadian provinces and major cities are worried that the deal will drive up the cost of pharmaceutical drugs and erode the autonomy of municipalities when awarding contracts for projects and services.
The agreement would give Canadian companies preferential access to a market of 500 million consumers in 27 member states.

December 22, 2014
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the number of state residents born outside the country has increased by 31 percent since 2000. That is far above the national average growth of 10 percent.
According to new estimates, the bureau says about 254,000 residents of Wisconsin last year were born in other countries, compared with 194,000 four years earlier.
The foreign-born made up nearly five percent of the state's population, compared with 3.6 percent in 2000.
Nearly half of the immigrants were from Central America, including Mexico. Asia accounted for just over a quarter, while Europeans accounted for 17 percent.
State labor economist Terry Ludeman says he suspected the state was taking on more immigrants than elsewhere because the local economy has been so strong.

Most large companies and businesses have a bonus or reward system in place. With the advancement of human resources and better understanding of the psychology involved in getting the best out of staff, businesses have discovered the power of rewards. Rewarding employees is proven to be not only good for the individual's morale but also for the morale of the whole company. Rewards work to motivate employees, helping them to work at their best and showing them that their hard work is noticed and valued.
Research shows that employees prefer to receive prepaid cards rather than vouchers or cash. It may be the case that cash gives the appearance of being the 'easy' option for reward and vouchers are less easy to use and limited in where they may be used.
For large companies who issue a significant number of prepaid cards, the opportunity exists to have their card branded with a specific design. This kind of visual association can help reinforce a sense of loyalty towards the business and add positive associations and enhance the presence of the employer.
Prepaid cards are payment cards linked, normally, to the MasterCard or Visa networks. These cards hold funds which are drawn upon when the card is used to make a payment. They require authorisation each time they are used to ensure the balance of the card is not exceeded.
Prepaid cards are offered by a number of providers, and some are co-branded with media or retail partners. Regardless of the branding, pre-paid Visa and MasterCards can be used in any outlet which accepts on-line authorised cards of that brand.
Prepaid Cards as Rewards
Research on behalf of MasterCard suggested that the use of prepaid payment cards as a means of reward for employees was set to increase by 36 percent by 2017. One reason for this increase is the simplicity of administering the scheme. Employers can load cards with exact amounts of cash online.
When using traditional vouchers, employers were restricted to a specific retailer or group of retailers and could issue vouchers only in defined denominations. Feedback from users also reported that voucher use was not a preferred means of issuing rewards due to the complexity of using multiple vouchers or having to identify the retail outlets where vouchers were accepted.
The online nature of loading prepaid cards means that employers do not have security worries around storing large quantities of either cash or vouchers in their premises. Nor is there the requirement to maintain onerous separate systems for recording vouchers numbers and to whom each was issued.
Research carried out by the Incentive Research Foundation found that almost 75 percent of employers using prepaid cards as a reward found them to be the most effective, or among the most effective means of reward. The same research showed that employees who received the gift cards found them to be a good reward or the best of all rewards which they had received. The preference for prepaid cards was shown to be seven times higher than the preference for the cash.
This ease of use and administration, security and the high regard in which prepaid cards are held by employees are among the reasons cited by employers who use prepaid cards as a means of reward.
Using Prepaid Cards
Users have fewer limitations when using a prepaid card. The card is simply presented to the supplier at the time of purchase and is processed through the normal card terminal. Some prepaid cards operate a 'chip and signature' means of authorising the purchase rather than the more common 'chip and PIN' device; the user will sign the card receipt to show they are present and approve the card use, rather than entering a PIN using the terminal keypad.
Rather than checking a printed list of retailers which accept a voucher and being limited in what they can purchase, users simply need to check if Visa or MasterCard is accepted. This universal acceptance gives the user almost unlimited potential to enjoy their reward. They can enjoy everything from skydiving to dining out, live shows to day spas.

Amazon Web Services Introduces High Memory Cluster Instances
Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced High Memory Cluster instances, a new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance family designed for memory-intensive applications such as in-memory analytics, databases, caching, and scientific computing. High Memory Cluster instances are ideal for applications that require a large amount of memory on a single instance, or require taking advantage of distributed memory architectures. For distributed memory-intensive applications, High Memory Cluster instances are the most cost-effective Amazon EC2 instance and provide a lower cost per GiB of memory than all other instances. These instances are based on two Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors which provide 88 EC2 Compute Units (ECUs) of compute capacity, two 120 GB solid state drives of instance storage, high bandwidth networking, and 244 GiB of RAM. This provides customers with improved performance and efficiency for in-memory analytics and other memory-intensive applications. To get started with Amazon EC2 and High Memory Cluster instances, visit http://aws.amazon.com/ec2.
"Memory-intensive workloads such as real-time applications used by healthcare providers, social networking companies and advertising technology providers require large amounts of memory to maintain high-performance," said Peter DeSantis, Vice President of Compute Services, AWS. "We designed the High Memory Cluster instances specifically for these workloads, and this is the third instance family (along with High Storage instances and High I/O instances) launched in the past six months designed specifically for high performance applications. We'll continue to listen and learn from customers and provide additional instance families and capabilities to meet the requirements of their applications."
"The new High Memory Cluster instances provide sizeable CPU cores and storage to run even larger workloads on SAP HANA in the AWS cloud," said Sapan Panigrahi, Vice President, HANA Cloud, SAP. "By leveraging the strength of SAP HANA in-memory computing, with the agility and low cost of the AWS cloud, a new generation of solutions are now possible. We look forward to enabling these instances to help our customers run real-time applications in the cloud."
