Chinese New Year celebrations start tomorrow night and lasts for days. Even if you're not Chinese, you can celebrate as well. Here's a brief outline. Pick and choose the things you'd like to do and modify as you wish. Hey, I celebrate Break Fast but I don't fast.1. New Year's Eve dinner is Wed night this year, on February 6th. Everyone scrambles home to be with their family, usually going to wherever their elders are. So, if you can, go have dinner with your parents and/or grandparents.2. The New Year's Eve meal is supposed to include a wide variety of dishes: a chicken, a duck, a fish, a meat (beef, lamb, or pork), and as many of each as possible. You can order in or make reservations at a restaurant to make things easy.3. Right before midnight on Wed night, eat dumplings. Dumplings are similar in shape to an old form of Chinese money or gold ingots called Yuan Bao and so dumplings are symbolic. You can also fold Yuan Bao shapes with paper.4. Make sure you have plenty of left-over fis

Late Hollywood legend Charlie Chaplin loathed Christmas to such an extent that he disliked his own family for celebrating the festivities. Chaplin’s son Michael has revealed that the silent star snubbed the festival, branding Christmas "too commercialised." "It really depressed him. My mother would always put a big tree in the house and we'd surround it with beautifully wrapped gifts, while my father would grow morose and complain about the commercialisation of Christmas,” Contactmusic quoted Michael, as saying. "It reminded him of his hard childhood when he'd have no presents and no tree. “He'd complain: 'If I got an orange as a child at Christmas I would be lucky,’” he added. Ironically, Chaplin passed away on Christmas Day in 1977. (ANI)
Christmas is being celebrated across the country today. The midnight masses were held on Monday night in almost all churches. Goa began Christmas celebrations just before midnight in the presence of some European royals. A hotel organised a 'Namaste India' programme, wherein a man dressed as Santa Claus entered the venue in a palanquin. "The atmosphere was great. The children enjoyed it. They were dancing and singing," said Countess Frankenstein H. Cribs depicting the birth of Jesus were set up in almost every household. In Delhi, a man dressed as Santa Claus mounted a chariot and performed the Bhangra with children. Some children also dressed as Santa and danced to tunes like Jingle Bells. Sand artist Sudarshan Patnaik created a giant sculpture of Christ on the Puri beach. "Last year, we made biggest Santa Claus. This year, we aimed to make the tallest sculpture and we selected Jesus Christ for that. Its height is 22 feet. It took 600 tonnes of sand to make this scul

What’s the most popular trio during the holiday season? It's cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg - the spices make more appearances than Santa this time of year! Of course you’ve used them to perk up pumpkin pie, give gusto to gingerbread and add excitement to your eggnog, but did you know these fragrant seasonings can help your weight-loss efforts?Thrill your taste buds by substituting these spices where you’d normally use sugar, honey and even butter. You'll save big on calories and fat! Plus, cinnamon and ginger offer some noteworthy health benefits:A dusting of cinnamon might do more than contribute spicy-sweet flavor to foods. According to some research it’s also been shown to inhibit bacteria that cause food poisoning. Ginger is a staple in Asian cooking, but it’s been used to avoid digestive problems in the East for more than 2,500 years. Lately, it’s been gaining popularity for soothing the symptoms of arthritis, too. However, ginger is best known for its effectiveness in e

I have been wondering when Google will celebrate 9th birthday since the beginning of this month. But today, as in their homepage Google officially celebrate now. Why Google birthday is varying from year to year? In September 1998, Google Inc. opened its door in Menlo Park, California. The door came with a remote control, as it was attached to the garage of a friend who sublet space to the new corporation's staff of three. The office offered several big advantages, including a washer and dryer and a hot tub. It also provided a parking space for the first employee hired by the new company: Craig Silverstein, now Google's director of technology.Already Google.com, still in beta, was answering 10,000 search queries each day. The press began to take notice of the upstart website with the relevant search results, and articles extolling Google appeared in USA TODAY and Le Monde. That December, PC Magazine named Google one of its Top 100 Web Sites and Search Engines for 1998. Google was moving

July 4th, 1776 - The colonists of the original thirteen colonies are weary, bone weary. They’ve been under the subjugation of Britain for years. They have to live in fear of the British soldiers; they are under the rule of King George III. They have to abide by laws that have been enacted (which are blatently unfair to them), and have to pay taxes; the British seem to be getting richer, while they are getting poorer. They’ve decided to do something about it.
This is the day that they adopt the Declaration of Independence, which will allow them to finally break from the rule of Britain, and will allow them to have their own government. The colonists are tired of the British, and they decide they are not going to be pushed around any more. This Declaration states that a government should be run by the wishes of the people and for the people. If this doesn’t happen, the people have the right to revolt. This means FREEDOM for the United States of Ameri
Today is not just the 4th of July, as many only know it as, but it is the commemoration and celebration of our American Independence Day! Today is a great day to fly our Colors with pride. Many will celebrate with parades, fireworks, backyard barbecues and so on. It is a great day to get together with family and friends. or simply to relax.
Years ago, I researched and further refined a recipe for one of my favorite foods that will go well with hot dogs, hamburgers and every other summer food we might eat today. Here is my refinement on an outstanding salsa recipe. If you like yours chunky and bold, this is for you:
2 large cans of Contadina crushed tomatoes 1 large can of Contadina diced tomatoes 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (stems & all) 3 - 5 jalapeno peppers 1/2 of a medium size Vidalia (sweet) onion 1 1/2 tsp. ground Cumin seed 1 1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper 1/2 tsp. sea salt juice of 1 fresh lime
Chop the cilantro, peppers & onion separately (food processor works gr
Go ahead and celebrate. You deserve it!Independence Day is a time to remember the fact that our nation has been under its own rule for more than 230 years.So take in the baseball games on the Fourth of July. Enjoy the fireworks!And remember the Declaration of Independence:IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of AmericaWhen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure th
Sacramento will be celebrating 4th of July…all over the Sacramento County area with spectacular shows. No matter what your political affiliation is, this is a time for all us to celebrate our Nation’s freedom. In honor of our fallen heros and those serving our Country it only seems befitting for each of us to display the American flag at our homes. It would be great to see each home owner, apartment dweller and renter in Sacramento displaying our American flag.
Here is a list of a few Cities and Communities in and around the Sacramento area that have a firework display on July 4th, 2007. Be sure to click on the links since there are day events as well, that you might wish to attend. Be safe and enjoy the holiday.

Oklahoma Turns 100 This Year and Will We Have FireworksJuly 4th is almost here. Have you made your plans to be at Grand Lake in Northeast Oklahoma to watch the midwest premier fireworks show at Duckcreek. Oklahoma turns 100 years old this year and the folks who annually put on a great fireworks show are planning to out do themselvas for the big birthday. Not only spectular fireworks but also a jet flyby review will be included.You can have an enjoyable holiday at Grand Lake, boat ride, barbque, visit friends and family, and then top it all off with the Duck Creek Fire Works Show. I heard on the street this week rumors that USA Today would rank this show in the Top 10 Fireworks Shows in the Nation this holiday.Grand Lake and the communities surrounding it including Grove, Monkey Island, Ketchum, Cleora, Langley, Disney, and Zena offer so many different activities and water sports to enjoy. Last week was the Bass Master Sooner Run fishing tournament enjoyed by many. Grove Fest was before
Of course, the reason we celebrate Patriot's Day is in honor of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the hostilities of the American Revolution. The battles took place on April 19, 1775 and were celebrated on that date until 1969, when it was changed to help satisfy our hunger for three-day weekends.The young Patriot pictured here is undoubtedly celebrating a day off from school.Also worthy of celebration on Patriot's Day is the running of the world famous Boston Marathon. This year will be the 111th running of the event and is expected to draw more than 20,000 participants. Approximately 500,000 spectators can be expected to line the route and cheer the runners along.That's not all, on this same day since 1960 the Boston Red Sox have played a home game at Fenway which began at 11:00 am. Beginning this year, the first pitch will be thrown at 10:00 am. This change was made to coincide with the change of the start of this year's marathon. The start of the game is intend
We are relieved when a year is over. On New Year’s Eve the universe seems to bristle with infinite possibilities. An absurd question befuddles me. What if the sun loses the gravitational charisma that keeps the earth bound to it? There will be no more new years and time will stop. Newton, Galileo and Kepler will look puzzled but not Albert Einstein because he has faith in his God and he believes He wouldn’t gamble with the years.We are glad we made it to 2007. Buckminster Fuller said “I am a passenger on this spaceship, Earth.” I wonder where this spaceship of over six billion travelers is headed. After about 5 billion years the sun will expand to eat up our earth which will then wilt away like an ill-made papad in the degchi (kiln) of space. Would global warming and climate change melt down our spacecraft much before these 5 billion years?At least we can look forward to such intriguing things as the British New Year’s honors. Indians and Brits of Indian origin figure promine
It was five years ago, on September 10, 2001, that the Delaware Law Office blog started with a post about a practice in Family Court of Delaware of returning documents that were deficient in some manner, in a way which could be harmful to a case in that Court. The post asked for a reform of the system, and a careful solution that would make sure that people got their day in Court, regardless of a failure to do the paperwork correctly. A snippet from the post:Currently there is a form utilized by non-judicial court personnel, as a cover, for their return of these documents to the filing attorney or pro-se individual. Frequently there is no specified Court Rule or statute cited, that the filing party is accused of violating. Frequently no reason is given except that the Clerk deems it so. In these cases the filing party usually already has clocked in his filing and relied upon that filing date with respect to the fulfillment of his or her legal responsibilities for the case. It may not
