May this New Year bring you Wealth, Longevity and Good Fortune!


While rats may not have the most outstanding reputation as animals in the West, the characteristics associated with the Chinese Zodiac sign are very positive. So should this be your Chinese zodiac sign, take heart. You are in good company. 
Mozart, William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Rosa Park, Milton Friedman and Mark Zuckerberg were all born in the Year of the Rat.

In Chinese culture, rats are used to symbolize wealth and surplus. Traditionally married couples would pray to these rodents hoping some of their reproductive success would rub off on them. Rats are found all over the world and regarded in the Chinese zodiac as being smart and nimble with plenty of vitality and enterprising spirit.

Personality
People born in Rat years are said to share some of these characteristics. Being optimistic and energetic they win over many friends. They are kind but can be poor communicators, which means they can inadvertently seem brash. They are not the reticent people they might seem, and although they are very excitable they can control their high spirits but will fight for their beliefs whatever the circumstances.
Financially they like saving and can be stingy. However, their love for hoarding will sometimes cause them to waste money on unnecessary things.

Lucky Things
Numbers 2 and 3.
Colors Green, Blue and Gold.

Unlucky Things
Numbers 5 and 9.
Colors Yellow and Brown

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire...

We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles.
