Mardi Gras Feb 12 2013

Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday, is the last day of feasting before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. It was common to use up your fat and sugar before Lent begins so different cultures offer different delicacies. In Milwaukee with its large Polish population we think Paczki (a jelly filled sugared donut), in New Orleans its King Cake. http://mardigrasday.com/mardigras/kcrecip.php
http://catholicism.about.com/od/catholicliving/tp/Fat_Tuesday_Recipes.htm


But did you know Mardi Gras is really a season? Purists will refer to the season as Carnival but many refer to it as Mardi Gras. Starting on Twelfth Night (Epiphany) Jan 6 or King's Day (since the Wise Men were alledged to arrive in Bethlehem on that day) a season of parties and parades begin. One typically held on Epihany is by Phunny Phorty Phellows - Streetcar Route, 7:00 p.m. Then the weekends start to be the focus for more parades until the final week before Ash Wednesday when there is something going on every day.

Historically speaking it was Pope Gregory XIII who made it a Christian holiday when, in 1582, he put it on his Gregorian calendar (the 12-month one we still use today). In America, parades started around 1838 but private parties has started before that along with the custom of the baby in the King Cake predicting who would have the next party.

For the latest Mardi Gras information see
http://www.nola.com/mardigras/index.ssf/2013/02/mardi_gras_2013_is_almost_here.html


From the end of January there are parades almost every weekend and during the last week almost every day in New Orleans

Chinese New Year Feb 10 2013

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 Chinese New Year 2013 - The Year of Black Water Snake

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 4710th Chinese year. For a great explanation of this and the Stem-Branch Calendar look here: http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/2012.htm (yes I know it says 2012 but trust me)

There are many excellent sites to learn more about this ancient culture

Fun on the Web Feb 4 2013 Windows Utilities

I love Gizmo's site. Here is the latest and greatest big list of windows utilities.

"There are hundreds of free tools for doing Windows administrative and management tasks. The site 4sysops has put together a large list that is worth looking at. When I last checked, it contained 389 applications. Many of these are quite specialized but the list also contains a substantial number that are of general interest, including familiar names that you will find in the recommendations at Gizmo’s. The author of the list has divided it into categories and I have put links below to the categories that I think most appropriate for Gizmo’s readers. Take a look – you may find some useful utilities you didn’t know about."

Fun on the Web Feb 2 2013 Happy Groundhogs Day

"Uh oh! The stars of Groundhog Day are disagreeing about what's next for winter."
http://www.weather.com/family-kids/pets/groundhogs-disagree-2013-20130202

Who saw their shadow? That will be the question most of the day after 7:10 am when we have sunrise. Groundhogs Day is always a day when those of us in the north look forward to finding out if we are having early spring or six more weeks of winter.

For over 60 years Wisconsin has had their own Groundhog, Jimmy. BTW he is right in his prediction about 80% of the time. Not sure I will be out there having the breakfast buffet but it might be fun. (Yes, in Wisconsin its always about the food.) BTW Jimmy said early spring ahead along with most of the others.

http://www.groundhogcentral.com/

Was it Wiarton Willie in Ontario? In 55 years this has become a full on festival.
http://www.wiartonwilliefestival.com/

Are you a big fan of Punxsutawney Phil? He has had about 39 percent accuracy ever since 1886.
http://www.groundhog.org/

Jimmy the Groundhog lives on this apple farm. What a lucky guy!
http://www.jerrysapples.com/

Buckeye Chuck is one of two groundhogs in Ohio known for predicting the arrival of spring. A native of Marion, Ohio, Chuck began predicting the arrival of Spring in the 1970s. Although he doesn't have his own website, Wikipedia says he is the Official State Groundhog.
