Tangram Puzzle Make a tangram for Chinese New Year. Tangram is an ancient Chinese puzzle. This activity is sometimes called "seven pieces of cleverness." The object of the puzzle is to rearrange the pieces of a square (the puzzle pieces) to form figures (like a picture of a cat) using the tangram pieces. Supplies: Paper Scissors Ruler Pencil Start by making a square piece of paper. To start making the square, fold one corner of a piece of paper over to the adjacent side. To finish making the square, cut off the small rectangle, forming a square. Fold the square piece of paper in half, then in half again (making a square that is divided into quarters). Repeat this step (resulting in a square divided into sixteenths). Unfold the paper.

82. Activity Idea Place: New Year You will need yarn, a pencil, craft bells, styrofoam cups and decorating chinese new year dragons Have the children make dragons out of lunch size http://www.123child.com/winter/newyear.html

Ringing in the New Year Art: Paper Party Hats: You will need colored construction paper, a stapler or tape, a hole punch and yarn at the minimum. You may choose to have the children decorate the paper with markers, paint, crayons, string, glitter, the number "2001", or however they wish. After the paper has dried, form a cone shape to fit the child's head. Then staple or tape the shape securely. The cone shape is formed by rolling up the paper so the longer sides of the paper forms the top and bottom of the cone. After you have secured the shape with tape or staples, cut the bottom of the cone so it is even all the way around. Punch two holes in the hat near the bottom to attach a string that will secure the hat on the child's head. Tie on the string. Bells: You will need yarn, a pencil, craft bells, styrofoam cups and decorating materials. Have the children decorate their cup. Cut a piece of yarn, no longer than the height of the cup. Tie the yarn to the bell. Then poke a small hole on the bottom of the cup. Thread the yarn through the hole so the bell is inside the cup. Tie the yarn in a knot (or a couple of knots) so it will not come loose. Now you have a bell. Bell Rings: You will need to make these for the children. Older children can do the threading. Simply thread craft bells onto a small piece of elastic, long enough to fit around your children's ankle or wrist. Then sew the two ends together. These can be used for group time dancing, songs and games below.

If you thought "American Idol" was popular, you haven't seen the hordes of fans around the world screaming for "Chinese Top Idol" singers. In the Chinese version of the hit U.S. show, Chinese amateur singers get the chance to show off their talents on television, like "Ellen," 18, did last year. As lights flashed and adoring fans cheered, she strutted across a stage singing the Chinese pop song "You Make Me Wanna." She was then evaluated by a team of judges. This year, the grand prize is $50,000 and a contract with worldwide Chinese entertainment network ETTV, said network spokeswoman Adrian Yen. Amateur musicians from across the U.S. and Asia will compete for the "opportunity to be the next Kelly Clarkson," she said last week in a news conference in Flushing, the site of the New York venue for this year's competition. The show garnered a big fan base last year, its first, and with that, a long list of sponsors for this year.

Instead of a typical photo a day shot, I thought I'd include my new gallery. Victoria's Chinese heritage dates back to 1858, and our Chinatown was built by the Chinese labourers who built Canada's railroad. It is Canada's oldest Chinatown. At its height, Victoria's Chinatown had about 3,500 permanent Chinese residents. The Canadian government stopped any additional immigration in 1923 and Victoria's Chinatown began its decline. Only after World War II, when China was an ally and fought with Canada, did Canada allow Chinese people to immigrate again to Canada. The area is now about two blocks long and features mostly Cantonese shops and restaurants. The ornate Gate of Harmonious Interest with its hand-carved lions is entrance to our Chinatown. The lions (seen in the images below) visit each restaurant and take lettuce and a charitable donation to wish the business a prosperous new year and good luck... all while firecrackers go off in celebration. previous page pages ALL next page February 13 - 12:26 p.m.

96. Chinese New Year Indepth explanation of the 15-day chinese new year celebration. Includes explanation of feasts, descriptions of traditional foods and decorations, http://www.educ.uvic.ca/faculty/mroth/438/CHINA/chinese_new_year.html

CHINESE NEW YEAR Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade. The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year. New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors. The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family. The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove" or weilu. It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.

Zipperlane Extension To Help Ease Traffic Congestion Governor Lingle joined Rod Haraga (far left), director of the Department of Transportation, and legislators of both parties to unveil plans for extending the H-1 Zipperlane and thereby easing traffic congestion from Leeward and Central O`ahu to downtown Honolulu. The extension will cover a nearly three-mile gap between the end of the Zipperlane and the start of the Nimitz Contraflow Lane. By connecting these two points, carpoolers will enjoy a continuous, 15-mile express route. The cost of the project is $9 million, of which the federal government is contributing $8 million. The extended Zipperlane route is scheduled for completion by the end of summer, prior to the back-to-school rush. Also shown are (second from left) Rep. Mark Takai; Rep. Mark Moses; Sen.
