Chinese New Year 2011. Spring Festival and Golden Week. Lantern Festival.
The beginning of the Chinese New Year season is called the Spring Festival or the Golden Week. There are several Golden Weeks in China around various holidays throughout the year.
The Chinese holiday calendar is based on the moon so one could almost wish people a “Happy Lunar New Year” as opposed to a Chinese New Year or a Spring Festival.
Some say that for the Chinese, the Spring Festival is the most important holiday and that it is similar in significance to Christmas in the west. It is a time when families reunite and when special meals are cooked and eaten. It is even a time for buying and exchanging gifts. And the children get special presents. It is import to wish everyone that you care about good fortune,good health and long life.
Chinese New Year is an especially fortunate time to receive a red envelope, there may be money in it.
The New Year’s season lasts for 15 days. The time it take for the new moon to become full again. Some of the days have special significance. For instance there are days set aside to show reverence for the dead or visit relatives. The 15 days period begins with the Spring Festival and ends with the Lantern Festival.
There are many traditions that are associated with bringing good fortune into the new year. Such as the donning of new clothes and shoes. This is particularly true for children who are often given money in red envelopes as well.
Thoroughly cleaning the house, clothes, and all kitchen utensils can be part of the Chinese New Year tradition.
Some people believe in using firecrackers and even special lion dances in order to bring about good luck or to hold the spirits that cause bad luck at bay.
Happiness blessings are to be seen everywhere in an area that is ushering in the Chinese New Year.
The Lantern Festival marks the end of the celebration of the Chinese New year. It is celebrated by lighting many colorful and ornate lanterns and by the eating of rice ball dumplings. Ancient tradition holds that the lantern festival is a time for solving puzzles and riddles.
The origins of the Lantern Festival are varied and colorful. Some think that the lanterns were lit to forestall the anger of vengeful Gods, others think the lanterns celebrate the joy of happy Gods.

A dozen ways to win a million dollars
By poetryman69
Publishers Clearing house has been giving away up to $10 million for some time no and it costs nothing but some time and a little looking at some ads to enter.
PCH million dollar sweepstakes
If you fancy yourself a pirate and you have always wanted to tell some salty sea dog to surrender the booty, try the TroppoLotto sweepstakes. Just as with most sweeps these days, you may have to get past a lot of ads to sign up and enter the sweeps but it still doesn’t cost you a dime so why complain.
TroppLotto million dollar sweepstakes
FreeLotto also runs a sweepstakes that can win you a million dollars. You can try it here:
Never sign up for anything that costs you money when entering contests and playing sweepstakes games. Don’t give your banking or credit card information since you are not buying anything.
Anyone who charges a fee for entering or winning a contest or sweepstakes is ripping you off so move on and don’t pay the fee.

7 Ways to Get Fast Cash that Do Not Work!
By poetryman69
Once in a while an otherwise rational and intelligent person will come to me with a get rich quick scheme. They will have earnest and urgent reasons why it must work. They will state that they have to act now or the opportunity will be lost (Reminds me of those congressmen who don’t read legislation but insist we must act on it now or the republic will falter!)
Some old clichés are old clichés because they are true.
If it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.
It it’s such an easy, lucrative money-making scheme, why is he sharing it with strangers. Commonsense tells you that dude has found an easier, quicker money-making scheme: Selling crap to morons!
Imagine if that device really did drive bugs and rats away. Then country folk could sic all their vermin on city folk and at last have their revenge!
If it is that good at killing living creatures or cutting grease, have you ever stopped to think that you are a living creature and that you are essentially made of grease?
Washing your hands and keeping your hands off your face will beat out hand sanitizers any day. Hey after using a gas station bathroom I go for the industrial strength hand sanitizer but on some level that stuff has to be cheapest stuff available and a world-class ripoff. Where can I sign up for shares in that company!
Did anyone else notice that governments spent billions on a vaccine no one would take for a disease that was less lethal than the normal flu?
That foot wasn’t luck for the rabbit!
Now let’s look at some rip-offs!
Betting with borrowed money and other risky business
Most men have a scheme that will not work
