Your Birth Number?
Your Birth Date describes who you are, what you are good at and what your inborn abilities are. It also points to what you have to learn and challenges you are facing. To figure your Birth Number, add all the numbers in your Birth Date, like in the following example, until there is only one digit:
Example: October 18, 1956
10 + 18 + 1956 = 1984 1 + 9 + 8 + 4 = 22 2 + 2 = 4
1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural.
Having things their own way is another trait that gets them labeled as being stubborn and arrogant. Ones are extremely honest and do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them. Lesson to learn: Others' ideas might be just as good or better and to stay open minded.
2's are idealistic and need to feel useful to be happy.
A strong family connection is important to them. Their actions influence their decisions. They have a strong urge to take care of others and to help. They are very loyal and make great teachers. They like art or music. They make loyal friends who take the friendship seriously.

For more than 20 years, Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. CEO Jack Soden has kept a file on Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. The subject of his study: Walt Disney Co.'s effort to clean up and develop the real estate around the "Happiest Place on Earth." Disney so despised the jumbled development that grew up around Disneyland after it opened in 1955 that when Walt Disney World opened in Florida in 1971, the company persuaded the state to create a district around the resort that allowed Disney to oversee development.
Disney's real estate drama continues to this day: The company is suing the city of Anaheim to stop the construction of 1,500 condos near Disneyland. So what does Disney have to do with Elvis Presley's Graceland?
Since Graceland opened to the public in 1982, EPE and its affiliated companies have gone on a real estate binge, buying everything from gas stations to apartment complexes around the King of Rock and Roll's Whitehaven mansion. Dramatic improvements to the area -- the subject of a summit last week of EPE, city and county officials -- are coming, though details are sketchy.
"It took billions to fix what grew up around Disneyland in California and when they went to Florida, they bought 27,000 acres and assembled it before anyone knew," said Soden in a recent interview. "I've always thought if we make Graceland as big a draw as it can be, we are going to suffer if we don't control the doughnut of land around us."
Today, as Robert F.X. Sillerman, who paid $100 million for an 85 percent stake in EPE in 2005, works on plans to turn Graceland into an international attraction on par with Disneyland, EPE and its affiliates own or control about 105 acres around the mansion. For a little perspective, the Memphis Zoo sits on roughly 70 acres.
Since January 2006, EPE and its affiliated companies have spent at least $13.4 million acquiring property, according to Shelby County Register Tom Leatherwood's office. The properties include a 182-unit apartment complex on Craft Road behind the existing Graceland Plaza, and a former auto dealership at 3674 Elvis Presley Blvd.
Sillerman, who was in town last week to update officials on his plans for Graceland, wants to "dramatically expand" the visitors center at Graceland and expand exhibit space to showcase thousands of pieces of Elvis memorabilia that have never been seen.
Sillerman, who became a billionaire by building and selling media companies, has also indicated he could build new hotels, improve the public spaces around Graceland, create more convention space and possibly build an outdoor amphitheater. The investment could easily top $100 million and forever change the face of South Memphis.
"He put some real meat on the bones of what he had previously discussed as a concept," said Shelby County Mayor AC Wharton of the meeting. "I'll say it's comprehensive, but I can't really get into details."
On Thursday, Wharton joined Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton, Convention and Visitors Bureau president Kevin Kane, city chief financial officer Robert Lipscomb, members of the Memphis Regional Chamber and Priscilla Presley at Graceland for a closed-door meeting with Sillerman, whose firm CKX Inc. also owns the hit television show "American Idol" and an 85 percent stake in the name, image and likeness of boxing great Muhammad Ali.
Sillerman has argued that Elvis and Ali, two of the most recognizable and enduring stars of the 20th century, are underused brands.
Sillerman has already hired Orlando, Fla.-based Bob Weis Design Island Associates to improve the area around Graceland while keeping the historic home intact.
BWDI designed "Top of the Rock," the new observation deck and interactive visitor center atop Rockefeller Center in New York. BWDI has also done master planning and exhibit work for Kennedy Space Center.
When he visited Memphis last year, Sillerman indicated that cleaning up the area around Graceland was critical and that it would probably take a public/private partnership.
"We do know that the area that Graceland sits in is not the most attractive area," he said.
"We know that that needs enhancement, if you will. Beyond that, the plans aren't specifically developed enough to know what that partnership form is going to take.
"But we do know that this is not something that Elvis Presley Enterprises and the Elvis Presley family can undertake by themselves."
Since then, civic and business leaders have committed themselves to improving the area that includes Memphis International Airport, Brooks Road and Graceland.
The Brooks Corridor has become a jarring juxtaposition of decay and prosperity. Bounded by I-240, U.S. 78, Raines Road and U.S. 61, it's also home to three key industries the city wants to promote: distribution and logistics, medical device manufacturing and tourism and entertainment.
The Memphis City Council on Tuesday asked the Herenton administration to come up with a plan for a Center City Commission-like board to oversee the redevelopment within 30 days.
"It needs to be because we have around 600,000 people, for the most part getting off at the interstate at Brooks and Elvis Presley, making their way down to Graceland," said Soden. "Every step of the way they have to be going, 'Surely we're lost.'
"A lot of them have this vision of Tara and they're coming down Elvis Presley Boulevard saying, 'It can't be here.' But, you know, Graceland tends to save the day."
Real Estate fit for a king
Since Graceland opened to the public in 1982, EPE and its affiliated companies have gone on a real estate binge, buying everything from gas stations to apartment complexes around the King of Rock and Roll's Whitehaven mansion.
In 1993, EPE purchased what is now known as Graceland Plaza, the visitors center and retail area across the street from the mansion.
In 1997, EPE bought Graceland Crossing, a neighboring shopping center with stores that featured Elvis-related items, located just north of Graceland Plaza.
In 1999, EPE bought an existing hotel near Graceland and turned it into what is known today as Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel.
Since January 2006, EPE and its affiliated companies have spent at least $13.4 million acquiring property near Graceland. Courtesy of Memphis Commercial Appeal

Tom Green was Milwaukee's consummate showman
Known for Elvis tributes, singer is dead at 50
Milwaukee's own Tom Green - who first became known for his Elvis tributes - has died.
Tom is seen here performing with The Jordanaires.

Tom Green whose given name was Thomas M. Greenblatt, died of cancer March 1. He was 50. Rumors of Green's death had circulated for days among fellow musicians and fans. Green, who began performing his Elvis show years before the singer's death, was among Milwaukee's best-known entertainers. He long performed at Summerfest, festivals, clubs, fund-raisers and other gigs. Although he still did occasional Elvis tributes, he regularly performed other music for many years, including songs by Robert Palmer, Elton John, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen. He also sang in Milwaukee's Bel Canto Chorus and was chosen to sing backup for Luciano Pavarotti when the famous Italian tenor was singing in Chicago. People may have come to his early shows because they were Elvis fans, but they came back as Tom Green fans. "Tom is such a Milwaukee treasure, an unbelievable performer who has touched a lot of people's lives," said Mike Wojciechowski, vice president of business development for the Milwaukee Admirals. "We've had Tom on many, many times to sing the national anthem." Wojciechowski's best memory, though, was a personal one after he was drafted to sing at a friend's wedding. Green decided to help, coaching his non-singer friend for four hours. "Then he showed up on the wedding day and went right into the choir loft and sat by me," Wojciechowski said. "You can do it," Green said. "And I knew that if I couldn't, he would have taken over and belted it out," he said. "He sang, 'Ave Maria,' and 'Memories' at my dad's funeral, too." In interviews over the years, Green talked about growing up on Milwaukee's north side and his early fascination with Elvis Presley. The youngest of four children, he started imitating Elvis when he was only 4, listening as his older brother and sisters played their records. Then he saw the King on television. "I was floored," Green later said. "I couldn't believe someone could be so cool." By the early 1970s, Green stood out at Washington High School, with his slicked-back hair and his shirt collars up. Once in a civics class, the teacher began describing the styles of the 1950s. "And he stopped in mid-lecture and said, 'Well, they looked just like Tom Green back there,' " he recalled. "I must've turned every shade of purple." Fate put Green in front of a microphone for the first time in 1974. Then a student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he was also a bartender at Olympic Lanes on the south side. His brother, Bud, said he should sing during an open-mic time. "I didn't think I could sing," Green said. "My brother said, 'Just sing like you do at home.' So, I went up and sang, 'Blue Suede Shoes' and 'All Shook Up' and the crowd loved it." Soon Green had a three-piece combo called "The Best of Everything" and was performing his trademark "The Tom Green Show" at Olympic Lanes five nights a week. The news of Elvis Presley's death in 1977 hit Green hard. "I had a show that night, and there were TV cameras there," he said. "The place was packed." He went onstage, talking about how sad he was at Presley's death. Then he sang "Don't Be Cruel" and left. Green went to Memphis to try to attend the funeral. He first decided not to do his show anymore, saying he did not want to be part of the commercialization following Presley's death. The sudden rash of bad impersonators changed his mind. "I decided to call my show 'A Dedication to Elvis,' " he said. "I wanted to present him in the manner to which he should be remembered." Green considered himself a cover artist rather than an impersonator. Green's voice was similar to Presley's, but after his first years as an entertainer he didn't try to sound like Presley or to imitate him on stage. "Tom did have a pretty good instrument," said Dave Tianen, Journal Sentinel pop music critic, of Green's voice. Green also performed with the Jordanaires, the backup group that earlier did vocals for Presley. "Tom had a phenomenal concert here Jan. 6," said Tim Brady of Serb Hall. "It was his annual Elvis Birthday Bash here. He had 670 people in the house. It's his gig, but he brought other Elvis impersonators in, too." Green was already booked at Serb Hall for an August date and again next January. "He was the first," said Joe LuDan, a friend and fan, of Green's role as an Elvis performer here. "The city loses a good friend and a great entertainer and vocalist." Thanks to his father, Green came to admire classical singers, too. In 1987, he decided to stop doing Elvis and try other music. In 1988, he won a spot as an unpaid member of the Bel Canto Chorus. The next year, he resumed his show, saying that the Bel Canto had "rejuvenated my spirit for performing." Green came to merge some of those musical influences. He sang classical numbers during his show, then doing the same Italian arias as Elvis might have done them. Green also won his share of WAMIs, the Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards. And Green never again sang on the anniversary of the King's death. "For me and a lot of other Elvis fans, that is another day that the music died," he would say.
