September 2010 Horoscopes

CAPRICORN:

A feeling of personal power and stronger, clearer ambitions are with you this month. You are bolder and your vision is more lucid, especially from the 13th forward. There can be new insights and developments in learning areas, studies, in your neighborhood or with siblings, or in activities surrounding communication. You may receive good news or you might read something that inspires you to change your learning focus, to write about a topic you hadn't considered before, or through channels that you have never tried, for example. You are more open to communicating about subjects or feelings that you have previously kept to yourself. Inspiration can be found now, and it's likely to come through your conversations or communications with others. From the 8th, romance is friendlier and more light-hearted. This trend continues until January 2011. Friends, group activities, and networking activities play a large role in your love life. In fact, the influence of friends and group connections is powerful throughout the year. You are expanding your horizons and friends are helping you to feel more connected and confident. The Full Moon on the 23rd illuminates a family matter.

AQUARIUS:

September brings intensity of feeling and a stronger desire to investigate life. Some of you could be especially into research of some sort, and from the 14th forward, you are pouring much energy into work projects and other professional activities. Your personal magnetism runs high, and you're likely to find much support and personal popularity in your career or community. From mid-month, going after what you want, whether it's a promotion or an idea you are pushing, is especially favored. Jupiter aligns with your ruler, Uranus, again this month, bringing a hopeful attitude, beneficial connections through networking efforts, and improved financial status. There may be a sudden change in financial position, even a windfall or significant gift, a sudden urge to spend or invest money, a new money-making idea or project that seems to come out of nowhere, new insights into money, money-making ability, or self-worth. Money might be seen now for its value as a tool used to achieve more freedom in your life. Problem solving comes far more easily to you by mid-September.

PISCES:

A partnership is in strong focus this month. Surprises in close relationships are likely from the 17th-22nd. Career matters are electric this month--expect the unexpected! Changes are in the works, and positive. Inspiration can come along suddenly, or seemingly so, from something you read, a conversation, a co-worker, or perhaps even a dream this month. The urge to break free from limiting conditions or, more likely, outworn attitudes, is intense now. You are looking to the future, not to the past, and the desire to leap forward into new and unexplored territory is powerful. Career goals, professional interests and changes, or social standing could be catalysts for this process. Romantic matters are intense, personal, and deep as you begin the month. From the 8th forward, your love life begins to take a turn that continues for the rest of 2010. You are more adventurous when it comes to love, and the desire to expand, explore, learn, and grow through your connections is strong. Some of you will find that you're attracted to people you've never considered before. The Full Moon on the 23rd can shed new light on a financial matter or project.

Other Zodiac:
Aeries, Taurus and Gemini.
Cancer, Leo and Virgo.
Libra,Scorpio and Sagittarius.

Driving a Car!

Buddies, here are some tips to drive your car during rain:

slow down! It takes longer to stop or adjust in wet weather.

Stay toward the middle lanes - water tends to pool in the outside lanes.

Maintain proper following distance (3 Second Rule). This needs to be increased in wet weather.

Drive in the tracks of a car ahead of you.

Don't follow large trucks or buses too closely. The spray created by their large tires reduces your vision. Take care when passing them as well; if you must pass, do so quickly and safely.

Be more alert when driving in wet or slippery conditions. Watch out for brake lights in front of you.

Avoid using your brakes; if possible, take your foot off the accelerator to slow down.
Turn your headlights on even in a light rain, or in gloomy, foggy or overcast conditions. Not only do they help you see the road, but they'll help other drivers see you. If your car has daytime running lights you still should put them on, so vehicles behind you can see you better.
Before it starts to rain, replace old or brittle wipers.

Avoid off-road driving: it's hard to judge the actual depth of puddles and you can easily become stuck.

Never drive beyond the limits of visibility. At night rainy roads become especially treacherous.

The glare of oncoming lights, amplified by the rain on your windscreen, can cause temporary loss of visibility while substantially increasing driver fatigue. In rainy conditions pedestrians, livestock, and wildlife are extremely hard to spot and even harder to avoid.

Never drive through moving water if you can't see the ground through it; your car could be
swept off the road.

When driving through a puddle of uncertain depth, go slow. If it's deeper than the bottom of your doors, turn around and find another route. Deep water can cause serious damage to a modern car's electrical system.

Avoid splashing pedestrians.

Be Safe!

September 2010 Horoscopes

LIBRA:

Personal magnetism continues to run high in September. Until the 8th, Venus continues to journey through your sign, boosting your appeal, charm, and tact. Until the 14th, Mars continues to add energy, initiative, intensity, and drive to your nature. Although both planets move out of your sign this month, they are moving rather close to one another, and this keeps partnering exciting throughout the month. Nevertheless, until the 22nd, you are in a yearly cycle of spiritual renewal, closing projects and paths in your life that no longer serve a good purpose. You take more down time than usual. The 22nd brings a yearly cycle of personal power that lasts until October 23rd. Home and family life improves this month, as do financial matters. The 4-5th and 12th are especially strong days for personal magnetism. You'll find others are looking upon you especially favorably. Opportunities and new insights come in the areas of work or health. The temptation to break out of lifeless aspects of a job is strong, and some of you will be feeling such inner restlessness that you feel you need to make a radical change.

SCORPIO:

A personally popular month is in store for you. You are easily making connections, and your attitude is upbeat. Until the 14th, you continue to take time when it comes to setting goals and going after what you want, however. You are getting in touch with what it is you desire. After the 14th, clarity comes. You experience increased energy and motivation for setting personal plans into motion. For those looking for work, job offers might arrive. Any misunderstandings with friends are likely to clear from the 12th. From the 8th, personal magnetism runs exceptionally high. A partner has your best interests at heart. New intuition or insights come to you around the 18th regarding romance and creativity. Surprises are in store. For some of you, unusual and exciting romantic experiences are possible. You are inclined to take chances on creative or romantic levels. Something might inspire you to try out a new creative hobby or adventure altogether. Your impulses tend to be right on the mark. Others feel your enthusiasm and tend to follow your lead. From the 22nd, you require a little more time alone to regroup.

SAGITTARIUS:

Career matters are strong this month. Whether you are seeking it or not, you are in the spotlight. Show the most competent and responsible side of your nature now for maximum success. While there can be some backtracking and progress might seem slow, after the 12th, these matters clear up. A partner or partnership becomes clearer mid-month, as do financial matters. Many of you will be focusing on learning, improving your skills set, and possibly writing or speaking in new ways this month. Excitement on the home front is brewing. New and exciting energy is brought to your domestic life. There may be a scurry of activity at this time, or opportunities that seem to come out of the blue. From the 8th forward, your love life is especially private or quiet. This trend continues until January 2011, as Venus will be spending an unusual amount of time in your privacy and soul sector. You're less outwardly affectionate and require some time to soul-search about your love life. The 23rd brings new light on a romantic or creative endeavor. Emotions run high. Creatively, this is a month in which you are really finding yourself and connecting to your hidden or dormant talents.

Other Zodiac:
Aeries, Taurus and Gemini.
Cancer, Leo and Virgo.
Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.

Horoscopes for September 2010

CANCER:

In September, you are pouring a lot of energy into friendships, networking, learning, and pleasure. The urge for adventure and new experiences that introduce you to new cultures, beliefs, or feelings is very strong mid-month. Sudden opportunities to expand your horizons, such as through travel, adventure, or learning can arise and jolt you out of your routine. New insights into work and health matters keep you motivated. Until the 14th, the probability of some confusion, delays, and misunderstandings with friends and in communications or transportation runs high, after which these matters begin to clear. Love is intense this month, but in a mostly pleasant manner. There is an "all or nothing" energy to romance in September with Venus and Mars both entering Scorpio. Fortunately for you, Scorpio is associated with a feel-good sector of your chart, and you are more likely to experience the "all" part of the "all or nothing" equation! Personal magnetism runs high, especially around the 18th. A career project can blossom for you around the 23rd.

LEO:

Getting your finances in order is in focus this month. Financial matters become more defined and clear by the 14th, as do practical concerns and work matters. Projects that have been delayed now begin to move forward. Intuition runs high from the 8-12th, but putting plans into action should be saved for the 14th and beyond. Developments in the financial or emotional support you receive, whether it's through loans, the resources of a partner, or other types of help, are quick and surprising. You might find yourself in a situation of sharing or pooling your resources with a partner. Alternatively, this can be a time of sudden insights and opportunities for emotional renewal or healing that give you a sense of power and self-mastery. By mid-month, love becomes less communicative in a superficial sense and more about passion and feelings that run so deep that they're hard to describe. Some of you will be meeting new romantic interests or experiencing a rejuvenation of romance in existing relationships.

VIRGO:

You are brimming with creative ideas this month. Being honest and communicative boosts your reputation and appeal in September. The New Moon on the 8th begins a month-long cycle in which you are noticed, personally powerful, and more confident. Career matters are strong, especially after the 12th. Success in the communications industry is indicated. Financial boosts are possible on the 4-5th and 12th. Love is improved and clearer from mid-month. Sudden opportunities with or through a partner can arise. A surprising circumstance or sudden change of attitude can occur and jolt you out of your usual routine when it comes to relating to others on a one-to-one level. Some of you might enter into a new partnership quickly. A working partnership could be involved, or an alliance with an old family friend or co-worker might occur now. Some of you could find opportunities to work from home. For those looking, a job offer can come your way. A matter that was previously hidden can come to light and help you to see more clearly.

Other Zodiac:
Aeries, Taurus and Gemini.
Libra,Scorpio and Sagittarius.
Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.

Horoscopes ~ September 2010

Some Quickies:

AERIES:

Work keeps you on your toes this month, but your personal life doesn't take a backseat. While there can be complications with work (delays and perhaps redoing of tasks) that have you feeling like you're not making much progress for all the effort put forth, by mid-month, things are running much more smoothly. Love matters are becoming a little complicated as well, but pleasantly so. Romance intensifies and passions run deep, especially around the 12th and 18th. Your desire for depth experiences on an intimate level is strong. Regarding finances, your attention turns to shared resources, debts and loans, and perhaps taxes. Creative thinking will help bring balance to this area of life. You are thinking a lot about health and nutrition matters, and September is a good month for researching new strategies for improvement. Career matters become clearer after the 13th, and certain work projects move forward. Surprising events and changes occur to your inner world around the 18th. Intuition is heightened, particularly regarding matters that have been holding you back from growing. The 23rd brings personal revelations.

Personal relationships are a big focus this month. While romantic matters can be complicated, misunderstandings and hesitancy lift by mid-month. Your affectionate nature is well-defined in September. The desire to bring harmony to partnerships and to enjoy leisure time with a lover is strong. A partner is likely to be especially spirited and amorous as well, demanding more of your attention, particularly in the last two weeks of the month. For some of you, a budding new partnership is possible, and for others, much focus on enhancing romance in an existing relationship is likely. It's time to have some fun! New opportunities through friendships, group associations, and other forms of networking might arise this month. Surprising events occur now that serve to jolt you out of your usual routine, particularly when it comes to friendships, finances, and career. Your reputation is enhanced on the 4-5, when good word spreads. Education matters or travel plans become clearer as motivation increases. Money matters improve through partnership.

GEMINI:

Interesting surprises occur in September, in the areas of partnerships, career, and reputation or social standing. These can serve to push you out of a no-win or dead-end position. Some of you will be experiencing exciting changes in close relationships, meeting new people that further your career, or encountering new opportunities through travel or educational interests. You are learning about the world around you through the eyes of a special person--or through other one-to-one relationships, such as clients. Meeting a partner through travel or educational activities, partnering with a co-worker, or working with a partner are also possible. Much creativity is brought to your work this month, and you could find yourself especially motivated by, and passionate about, the work you do. New routines may be in order.

The Soccer World Cup

The Robot Soccer World Cup is divided into five divisions, starting with the Simulation league. This is for sophisticated computer games without the robot hardware, but with each team comprising eleven autonomous software programs called agents. The Small Robot league is five-aside on a 6.05 x 4.05m ‘field’, while the Middle Size Robot league plays teams of six on an 18 x 12m field. The Humanoid league caters for autonomous robots with a human-like body plan that e programmed with senses that duplicate those of real people. In this league, unlike the smaller ones above, the tasks of perception and world modeling are not simplified by programming. Then there’s the Standard Platform league, where all players have identical hardware and only the optimum computer programming can produce the winning advantage. These robots are fully autonomous on the field, having no external control. Despite the game format, Robot-cup 2010 is a serious business. Robotics teams from leading universities that include Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Oxford University and Osaka University are showing what the latest robot football stars can do.

The Robot

A robot is an automatic device that performs functions normally ascribed to human or a machine in the form of a human. Robotics involves a scientific study of robots. Basically there are two types of robots - fixed and mobile. At present robots are present in almost every field of work. Robots have become more and more popular in industrial and other fields and work faster than human beings. Robots can operate in any situation, even ones too uncomfortable or dangerous for humans to work in. Today, robots are taking over most of the manipulative, hazardous and tedious jobs in factories, mines, atomic plants, space ships, deep-sea vessels, etc. from man.

In India, the interest in robots and robotics began during 1980s. Works on robotics began in advanced educational institutions and research centers such as the Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Bhabha Atomic Research Center, etc. Robots have been developed for welding, spray painting, radioactive fuel handling operations and so on. There are also some very small nano-metric-sized robots called nano-machines and some large ones like robonauts. All these are first generation robots and the second generation of robots, expected to arrive by 2015, would be truly versatile and intelligent as chimpanzees.

A Memorable Day!

Today, am so glad that I went into the EDS data center server management room. It was a kind of different experience for me and I was happy to learn something out of it. At the very entrance, I felt it so cold and those two hours, I felt as if I am living in a state of 2 degrees. Ah! How many devices properly stacked and a hell lot of connecting cables, CPU boards, PCB's, chips and so on. Never had I thought that data centers would be planned and maintained in such a neat manner. I was asked to take the backup of our project applications as there was some server activity lined up. I learnt a lot from the techie guys maintaining the server and it was very different from the usual work schedule. Just a memorable day indeed!

Mobile Chat

Gossip is the human equivalent of 'social grooming' among primates, which has been shown to stimulate production of endorphins, relieving stress and boosting the immune system. Two-thirds of all human conversation is gossip, because this 'vocal grooming' is essential to our social, psychological and physical well-being. Mobiles facilitate gossip. Mobiles have increased and enhanced this vital therapeutic activity, by allowing us to gossip 'anytime, anyplace, anywhere' and to text as well as talk. Mobile gossip is an effective and important new stress-buster. The study found that men gossip at least as much as women, especially on their mobiles. Thirty-three percent of men indulge in mobile gossip every day or almost every day, compared with twenty-six percent of women. Men gossip for just as long and about the same subjects as women, but tend to talk more about themselves.

My Laptop takes a turn!

Hi friends, happy Sunday! Whenever I open my mailbox, there would be a hell lot of unread mails and it takes me at least an hour to open up one by one and to give in a suitable reply. I am least bothered to open my Spam folder and it so happened recently that in order to delete all those spam mails, I went to the folder. A mail's subject attracted me and that's it I opened the mail. Th sad part here is that my anti-virus just got expired and I have ordered a new pack to be installed. My laptop took a turn! After some 30 seconds, I noticed that something has went wrong and my laptop got affected by a Virus. At that moment, I gave a try to restart and it failed to boot up. I was in a maze. I really can't get to know what was wrong. The error thrown was some I/O device failure. Oh my God, then I called up the online support people and got my hard drive replaced. So guys, please beware while opening your mailbox. Never give in for spam mails.

Define Your Goals Effectively

Goals are precise and measurable objectives with exact time frames and targets. Goals are short-term steps toward our long-term vision. Goals are specific points along our journey to higher performance. They could be organization or team improvement objectives such as targets for cycle time, customer satisfaction, error or defect rates, new products or services, costs, or revenues. Personal goals could include targets such as income level or financial position, new home, car or other item, an academic or technical qualification, business we want to start, or position we want to reach.

Clear and powerful goals set priorities. They narrow the wide field of options and choices to those few activities that leverage our limited time and attention. They keep us focused on finding the shortest, most direct route to our destination. That means goals point out where not to go and what not to do as much as where we should go and what we should do. So clear goals lead to faster, clearer decisions, which move us more quickly toward our dreams.

Long-term goal setting has always been vaguely unsatisfying for me. I lean more naturally toward visioning. Part of the reason I am uncomfortable with long-term goal setting is because goals are shallow. Goals define what you want to have, not what you want to become. They are a means, not an end.

Another reason goal setting has been less satisfying is because I've never been very good at it. Most of the time frames on my projections, forecasts, and predictions are wrong. I suppose I should ask for a refund on my cloudy crystal ball. But through persistence and staying true to my course, I've eventually reached and then reset many of my visions. I've generally got to where I wanted to go and became the person I wanted to become. But it was always through a different route than I first expected to take. I guess that's called learning.

So there's the paradox of goals. I believe in personal, team, and organization goal setting. I continue to set goals. And I continue to help leaders set goals and objectives for themselves, their teams, and their organization. Goals are targets that help us immensely in moving from a general vision to a specific set of priorities and actions.

SSRS Approach

If you’re a seasoned writer of SRSS reports (or any type of RDBMS reporting system), you’ll be used to trawling through databases, tables, fields and indexes to deliver that right combination of headings and columns which present the underlying data as your users want to see it. Well, here’s a report that doesn’t involve any of that. OK, there’s a database, but only as a place to store the code and the only table is a temporary one. I am preparing a detailed note on SSRS and will post it soon.

ARIES Horoscope ~ August 2010

This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. A rich, fruitful and happy phase comes to you and you're enjoying it. The spice of life is there for you in the variety of interests, activities, and feelings that you are bound to experience this month. Don't fly too high or too far -- risky moves, rashness, over-confidence that nothing can go wrong or just foolhardy behavior. Some danger or possible mishap may be lurking. Risk-taking, speculation must be avoided. Also rashness in an affair of the heart which might leave you hurt and scattered, if not shattered.

One-to-one linking appeals to you more than group activities or more casual associations. If single, you are more eager than usual to enter into a devoted relationship. In general, you are flexible when it comes to your affections - very willing to negotiate and make harmony. Smoothing out your close/special affairs is what makes you pleased. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Activities pertaining to work and recreation are both equally hectic and demanding, but desired by you. You are in a mood to work hard and sincerely at everything you take on — and the results will be pleasing indeed, to say the least. You're involved, committed, willing to run the extra mile and for all/any of the following: relationships and love, classy entertainment, an escalated social standing and social life.

Relationships are bubbly and vibrant. Partnerships may go through ego conflicts, or adversaries may be demanding. Try to work cooperatively on relationship problems, as that’s the need of the hour. When a difference arises, you are quick to resolve it, and have little tolerance for minor issues. You may become very critical of your partners/relationships, enough to stir antagonism rather than the forming of a harmonious association and the two of you could become immediate enemies. Try to accept the differences that you see between your ideal and the reality.

Successful Movies Put Me Off

I was wandering around the net to find some of the most successful movies so that I can download and see it. I always have a belief that the trilogies are good to watch. I came across the movie Friday. The movie has a quite good profile. There around 12 to 13 parts of the movie right from 1980 till now. So I believed it will be good to watch and it also comes under my favorite genre “horror”. I downloaded all the parts in a single breath and started watching them. I couldn’t utter any word. All the parts have the same storyline and there was not much thrilling secrets to be revealed either. I got headache seeing the man in the mask. Because I neither get fear nor thrill watching that thing. I don’t know how they managed to run such a disgusting trilogy till now. I think the movie would have been somewhat successful in the box office due to the porn like scenes in almost every part of the movie. It is as if that the movie cannot be taken with those scenes on. So I recommend you people that before watching the movie please check out its IMDB and the response in red tomatoes to avoid headache. Good day!

PISCES Horoscope ~ August 2010

Change! You might be making changes in your job or profession, in your relationships with colleagues and co-workers, health and diet. There may be some mental strain, or perhaps financial difficulties, particularly relating to held-up payments that are still pending, salaries, servants, health and employee benefits or perhaps a bad debt. Willingness to help and serve will pay dividends, both materially and in terms of a "feel-good" factor. Don't expect gratitude and appreciation, just go ahead and do whatever needs to be done. This phase presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now.

It is easy to get lost in flight of the imagination at this time, as you feel rather aimless and less able to face everyday realities. Your strength of will is near to the ground as you have a tendency to wander off from earlier path and for the short term lose focus. Attracting odd, bewildering, or even alarming situations is likely due to an internal call for more fun. This is not a good time for any financial undertaking or formal agreement, so plan accordingly.

You may feel that you’re in the grip of a force beyond your control, since it is a time for great, perhaps even radical or drastic changes in your material as well as emotional world. This month, a financial boost is likely, or you may expand money-wise all the way through your associates. You are more tending to even differences in a partnership/relationship regarding the sharing of authority, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Close relationships are intensified. Either you or your partner shall demand a deeper unification.

You are likely to be more planned in your actions, as you become aware of the subtlety of human relations. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Cooperative efforts revolve around making the most of all the resources belonging to two or more people. Arguments with partners over values or belongings are possible. Try to be patient and adjusting in critical times, as this will help you reach new heights in coming months. Happy Life!
