Gina,

I don't get it. Where do the numbers come from ? The 10, the 200 and the 8. Please explain!

Each letter in the Hebrew aleph-bet has a numerical value - aleph is one, bet is 2, gimmel is 3 etc. Several words/numbers have special significance. The word for life is chai, made up of the letters het & yud; 8 +10 =18. Donations are often expressed as a multiple of chai. Two times chai ($36), 10 times chai ($180) etc.

The word for "moon" has the same letters as chai plus resh, which is 200. Thus moon is equal to life + 200. Given enough shnapps or slivovitz one could expound on the meaning of that for hours.



Gina

[Kona2]

Ah.

Thanks, Gina! So, resh is like getting the Q ?

[DavidA]

The word for moon in Hebrew is yerah - unable to figure out a way to get this bulletin board to display a hebrew font, but suffice to say that it is spelled with 3 consonants - yud (10), resh (200) and het (8) = 218.

gina

This looked moon-ish and possibly Hebrew ... ?
Minnie

The top word is moon.
The left is month.
The right is white.
The bottom looks like a name, Sahar.

Chris noted that the team total holiday challenge meters are now visible next to the total meters the team has accumulated for the year. We are 7th overall in both total and holiday challenge meters - but the Eh Team is coming on strong in the holiday challenge (a portent of things to come for the JVC), and the ranks of the flotilla of ducks have swelled to 94 - and they are in 5th overall for the current challenge. Outrowing us.

I believe Kristine has indicated this: we do have to go to the team page in our logbook and indicate whether or not we will be participating in the JVC in January. I thought this was going to be an automatic, but it appears not.

Flex those rowing muscles - it is going to be a wild challenge!

[Kristine Strasburger]

K2, I have enrolled the LUNA-TICS challenge team in the 09JVC. If any of our team mates were on the previous challenge, then they are probably still on the roster. I say still because sometimes a person gets dropped from the team roster by accident somewhere. I will cross-check the challenge roster with the regular team roster to make sure everyone is on the challenge team. We actually have quite a few challenge team mates who are not on our regular team.

[Kona2]

Almost halfway through the Holiday Challenge - and we have eighteen teammates aboard! Congrats to Peter G for reaching the Honor Board !

I just checked and YES I got the same error. Must be temporary technical difficulties going on, or maybe we lost communications with Earth on our way to the MOON! Huston we may have a problem....

[Kona2]

Gina - your logbook total now reflects the number that you thought you had input - which is different than the number I saw this morning!

I had a lot of trouble accessing the logbook, and forum, yesterday evening. I think with the addition of the holiday challenge "sort" we are having a couple of hiccups.

Everyone please check your logbooks - go to the team heading - and see if a note is there that says anything about the JVC. I had to select that YES I was going to participate in the JVC with the Luna-Tics - otherwise, I would be a team member, but my meters wouldn't count towards the JVC.

Thanks! K2

I must have hit enter twice because I when I checked it later it showed 2 entries for yesterday. I deleted the extra one. Today I rowed 6090 - so you should credit me for all of 872 m tomorrow.

higher math, LOL.
