Vedic Astrology Part I

Image
An Introduction Vedic Astrology, the Science of Time, the Eye of Wisdom and the foremost among the branches of knowledge has come to us from 18 seers. While Varaha Mihira is hailed as the Father of Indian Astrology, Parashara is hailed as the Father of Indian Predictive Astrology. IndianAstro-Physics is divided into 3 major portions - Siddhanta (Astronomy ), Samhita ( Astro-Philosophy ) & Hora ( Astrology ). The English word " hour" is derived from the Sanskrit word Hora. The Precession of the Equinoxes While the Western astronomers compute everything from 0 degree Aries which is the beginning of the Tropical Zodiac, the Indian astronomers compute everything from 0 degrees Aswathi ( Beta Arietis ) , which is the beginning of the Sidereal Zodiac. Sidereal is derived from the Latin word "Sidereus" meaning the constellation of fixed stars. The Vernal Equinoctial Point was found to precede one degree in 72 years and hence 360*72 = 25920 years was fixed as the Preces...

The Problem With Girls...

Image
Ok, Please do not pelt rocks at me. Let me start off by saying that I love women. Whether they be big (hey, i dedicated a whole post to this here ) or tiny, blond, brunette, white, black, caramel of yellow- I love them all! I don’t discriminate, ok? But there are some things that I cannot live with! These things drive me nuts and turn me way off! I have an extreme problem with girls who: 1. Have hair on places besides their head- Ok, that's a little too exaggerated, some hair in the lower region is acceptable, but c'mon!Let's keep our bushes tidy! What drives me crazy though are hairy legs and God forbid this... Hairy armpits! That's just freaking wrong man! I don't wanna feel like I'm dating a hairy guy. Let me have the hair in the weird places, ok, and you stay the nice and smooth one! julia_roberts_hairy_armpit.jpg 2. I hate it when some girls don't have an opinion- "Honey, what' do you think of a vacation somewhere in Vietnam?" "Sure, ...

Weight Loss: Losing Weight Rapidly

Image
Wanting a slimmer and sexier body is no lofty ambition. Many people have succeeded in sculpting their physiques to make them look healthy and desirable. However, this end is not attained in just a snap or skipping one night's dinner. For some people though, patience is not a virtue. They seem not to be able to afford so much attention, time and money to get the body they have always wanted. As a result, these people result to rapid weight loss practices and programs which may not be as effective as these people are led to believe they are. Fast-track diets are one of these rapid weight loss practices which may not be very inviting as they seem according to research. Fast-track diet programs, as scientific research shows, are only good while they last. Rapid weight loss often results ironically, to rapid weight gain. people who undergo low carbohydrate or low calorie diets normally revert back to old eating habits simply because human beings can not actually live on with this type o...

The Ultimate Six Pack

Image
The topic is everywhere. It is in every health magazine and every fitness site. You can barely escape the grocery store without seeing magazine upon magazine of the fastest and newest way to get ripped abs. Unfortunately, like every other fad diet or exercise, there has only been way to get the results. Sweat it out and stick to it. Fortunately, there are many ways of to go about it. Lesson One: The big fat skinny lie Sit ups will not make you skinny! It's one of the biggest and most mass produced ideas in the fitness market. Muscle works muscles. It does not touch your fat! You burn very insignificant amounts of calories doing sit-ups. You need to do cardio, eat better, and lose weight if you expect to lose your midsection. I have seen countless examples of people doing a grueling amount of sit-ups with no real results because they never lost their stomach fat. However, it is true that the more muscle content on your body, the more natural calories lost. In other words, you have t...

Online Survival For Affiliate Marketers: Three Essential Tactics

Image
Affiliate marketing is a high pass through marketing system; it's designed to deal with traffic and relevance and referrals, rather than the Hypo-Matic Marketroid Blast method used by Madison Avenue. Real world people giving real world opinions are the key. It's still a competitive field, and while there are people out there who claim to have the "get rich quick" scheme to make it all happen, there ain't no rich, and it isn't quick. You will be able to make a good supplemental income from it, though. Making more requires hard work and dedication and following three solid pieces of advice that have been true since the Internet was invented. Tip number 1: Any product you're promoting deserves its own web page. Attempting to lump all your products into one page to save on hosting fees is the very definition of a false economy. Make a site of multiple pages focusing on related products. Every product deserves its own review; this is where customers will get th...

So you want to take funny pictures

If you want to be able to take funny pictures but good ones and wonder if there is a special technique to it. Funny pictures tell a wonderful tale when viewed by an appreciative audience. So what do you need to know to make your funny pictures turn out to be ones that people want to see again and again? Taking pictures is about angles, framing, the placement of points of interest, colors and contrast. Sounds like a tall order doesn't it? But if you break things down into steps, its much easier. Getting the right look to your funny pictures will put YOUR shots a head and shoulders above everyone elses. What do you need to know? The first thing is understand something called the rule of thirds. Artists and other photographers use this as their constant guideline. Now this will sound a little strange, but what you really need to do is to off center your funny pictures. Not to make them funny pictures because they are off center, but to make them interesting and provocative. Here's...

Is 5S Worth it?

Image
5S implementation is one of the smartest things you can do for your business, no doubt about it. Your clutter will vanish, you will know where every single thing is in your shop and everybody is happier and more productive. What more could you ask for! Seriously, if you have not made the 5S program part of your daily operation, do it now. There is really no reason, unless you are already highly organized and efficient. It could be that some exceptional manufacturing shop is just naturally that way, it does happen, but rarely. There are obviously 5 parts to the program: Sort, Straighten,Sweep,Standardize and Sustain. Once you have understood the concepts and decided to implement them, you will almost immediately see results, really. The first time I was involved in a 5S program was with a typical American plastic injection molding shop of about 10 mold makers. We had been in business as long as plastic molding was a business, so there was a lot of "stuff" laying around. It see...

Acupuncture, Chiropractors, and Gall Bladder Problems with Back Pain

Image
Back Pain and Acupuncture. Acupuncture has been around for over 5,000 years now. There has to be something to it, don't you think? When most people think of acupuncture, they can only picture needles being inserted into their bodies and nothing but pain being inflicted. Needles are inserted as this is what acupuncture is all about; but, there is no pain involved in the procedure. First, the needles are very, very, very small. They do not inflict any pain when they are inserted. An accomplished acupuncturist can insert needles and the patient will not feel even the tiniest twinge of pain. As the needles are inserted, they are spinning rapidly, and because they are so very fine, there is simply no pain at all. The object of the acupuncturist is to restore the balance of Qi (pronounced "chee") in the patient who is suffering from back pain. Once the Qi is balanced, the forces of Yin and Yang are also balanced. The balance of Qi and Yin and Yang will do away with all pain in ...

How to More Effectively Convert Your Accounts Receivable into Cash

Image
Converting accounts receivable into cash is a critical process in the development of a healthy cash flow. While booking a receivable is accomplished by a simple accounting transaction, the process of maintaining and collecting payments from your customers requires a steadfast commitment to a systematic process of Accounts Receivable Management. To more effectively convert accounts receivable into cash it's essential that the credit and collection process be highly efficient in order for you to shorten the accounts receivable cycle time. The accounts receivable cycle starts with a sale (credit sales) which in turn creates a receivable (monies due your company), and then, ultimately converts into cash. The length of time that it takes your company to complete this cycle, from sale to accounts receivable to cash, is the collection period. The shorter the collection period, the less time cash (capital) is tied up in the business process, and thus the better for your company's cash ...

The Global Warming Cult – back to paganism and onwards to higher taxes of course

Image
The Europeans in their desire to be relevant on the world stage, have erected some immoral and vicious philosophies. Fascism, Communism, Socialism and post modern nonsense and dialecticism exemplified by the Useless Nations, as well as other cults of utopian fantasy are obvious examples. Like its cousin the current Eco-fascist Global Warming cult is premised on non-scientific data; a belief in an all knowing kind technocratic elite that will lead the group; a belief in a new world order; a hatred of modernity; a hatred of capitalism; a hatred of US inspired liberalism and a disdain for work, ethics, virtue and reality. The Eco-fascist cult is nothing more than a sick offering of left over philosophical food, cooked with rancid Marxism, coated with moral superiority complexes, sprinkled with non-scientific platitudes, and garnished by an self-adoring elite who just can’t get enough of their own importance. Eco-cultism and the Global Warming baloney is another sad example of the Euro-tra...

How Can Women Begin To Recognize Their Core Value?

Image
Recognizing your core value starts with self-awareness!!! I have worked with many women to help them find relief from chronic pain. Most of these women are married and raising children while working outside the home. After many sessions and establishing a close rapport, it became apparent to me, the commonality amongst my female patients. Interesting enough, their personal symptoms of physical pain was a surface reflection of a greater challenge that lay deeper within...their sense of self or should I say, ‘denial of self’. Women play a critical, central role in the home, usually the primary caregivers and the home makers. It is so easy for women to get caught up in doing things to ‘keep the peace’ and to keep the activities of daily living moving along as smooth as possible. "Status quo seems like the way to go." Having a change of heart, bringing up ideas or new ways of thinking about what we want to do or how we want to feel can bring with it a period of unrest, resistance...
