Gung Hay Fat Choy

That means Happy Chinese New Year or Gong Xi Fa Ca! That’s the traditional Chinese New Year greeting that means “wishing you prosperity” in Mandarin.

This is the most important of Chinese holidays, celebrated by billions of ethnic Chinese around the world. It’s a 15 day celebration end with the Lantern Festival. Each year is represented by one of twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac. For 2012, it’s the Year of the Dragon.

Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally last from the first day (during a new moon) to the 15th day (a full moon). Each day holds a special significance that varies according to local traditions.

The Year 2012 is the 4709th Chinese year. For a great explanation of this and the Stem-Branch Calendar look here: http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/2012.htm

http://www.wikihow.com/Release-Your-Inner-Artist-with-Project-Dogwaffle

Start by downloading the free software
http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/free/index.html

or if that is more artist than you think you have inside try playing with your own photos. This website once you understand how to use it has many fun features like 3D, pixelize, sepia tones and swap colors. Often a so so picture can become very dramatic with a shift in effects. This is a full featured package with all the standard stuff: crop, re-size, turn right or left options but with some trial and error going through the drop down menus can become fun for an icy day (which is what our weather promises to be tomorrow.

Fun on the Web Jan 11, 2012 Glass Blowing

Happy Birthday Ben!

When I was a kid my Dad did some glass blowing which fascinated me then and has never stopped being astonishing in my book. Whether its the creation of a simple goblet, a fantasy in lace made of glass found in a gift shop, lampwork beads, or the work of Dale Chihuly, this art has never failed to be a favorite.

Fun on the Web Jan 7, 2012 Inspiring Quotes

From http://www.bethenny.com/post/keeping-the-balance-inspiration-for-2012

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’” –Eleanor Roosevelt

“Don’t be who you’re not.” –Kathy Griffin

“Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.” –Harvey Fierstein

“I have enjoyed life a lot more by saying yes than by saying no.” –Sir Richard Branson

“Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.” –William Jennings Bryan

“I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.” –Eartha Kitt

“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” –William Shakespeare

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." –Think Different Ad for Apple narrated by Steve Jobs

“It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.” –William Somerset Maugham

Fun on the Web Jan 3, 2012 Health and Safety Tips

Although these were listed as Holiday Tips they are good advice all winter long.
From http://www.cdc.gov/Features/HealthyTips/

1 Wash hands often to keep yourself from spreading germs and getting sick. Wash your hands with soap and clean running water for at least 20 seconds.

2 Bundle up to stay dry and warm. Wear appropriate outdoor clothing: layers of light, warm clothing; mittens; hats; scarves; and waterproof boots.

3 Manage stress. Don't over-commit yourself and prevent holiday anxiety and pressure. Get enough sleep.

4 Don't drink and drive or let others drink and drive. Whenever anyone drives drunk, they put everyone on the road in danger.

5 Be smoke-free. Avoid smoking and second-hand smoke. There is NO safe amount of tobacco or secondhand smoke. Breathing even a little secondhand smoke can be dangerous.

6 Fasten seat belts while driving or riding in a motor vehicle. Always buckle your child in the car using a child safety seat, booster seat, or seat belt according to his/her height, weight, and age. Use a seat belt on every trip, no matter how short the trip.

7 Get exams and screenings. Ask what exams you need and when to get them. Update your personal and family history.

8 Get your vaccinations, which help prevent diseases and save lives.

9 Monitor the children. Keep potentially dangerous toys, food, drinks, household items, and other objects out of kids' reach. Dress warmly for outdoor activities. Develop and reinforce rules about acceptable and safe behaviors including electronic media.

10 Practice fire safety. Most residential fires occur during the winter months, so be careful to never leave fireplaces, space heaters, stoves, or candles unattended. Have an emergency plan and practice it regularly.

11 Prepare food safely. Remember these simple steps: wash hands and surfaces often, avoid cross-contamination, cook foods to proper temperatures, and refrigerate promptly.

12 Eat healthy, and get moving. Eat fruits and vegetables. Limit your portion sizes and foods high in fat and sugar. Be active for at least 2½ hours a week and help kids and teens be active for at least 1 hour a day.
