Chinese Lantern Festival

As the sun sets, the Fair Park in Dallas, Texas transforms into a luminescent spectacle where 22 lanterns weave a rainbow of light around the fairgrounds. Visitors enter through an illuminated red tunnel and explore each festival area, where onsite artists weave palm leaves into small dragons. At the center, a lagoon twinkles with blossoming lotus flowers, green frogs, and a recreation of the Statue of Liberty, which adds an American touch to the traditional Chinese festivities. Elsewhere, three stories of reds, greens, and blues light up The Temple of Heaven lantern and a shimmering green dragon lantern made up of more than 15,000 hand-tied bowls, spoons, and wine cups stretches on for 330 feet.

The story of these illuminated marvels begins in Sichuan, China, where more than 100 artisans and technicians craft small pieces and raw materials before shipping them to Dallas. More than three dozen artists transform the exported cloth, glass, and porcelain into the lanterns that inhabit the festival. According to The Dallas Morning News, some of these fixtures were so large that they were moved to the lagoon using helicopters or telekinetic landscapers.

The Groupon Guide to: Harebrained Schemes

These days it seems like everyone has some kind of harebrained get-rich-quick scheme. Use this handy guide to sort out whether a scheme is destined for failure or straight for the bank:

Scheme: Your neighbor Robert wants you to open a flower shop with him.
Verdict: Harebrained. Robert inherited the flower shop from his father, but in order to keep the shop’s best customer, Mrs. Winifred Downing, you’ll have to pretend that Robert’s father is still alive and court Mrs. Downing in his guise.

Scheme: Your boyfriend, Calvin, wants to get married.
Verdict: Harebrained. Calvin will use the marriage as a contract to bind you together both financially and spiritually. Once you’ve signed the paperwork, Calvin can move into your house and even use your toilet.

Scheme: Your older cousin, Harrison, wants to build an airplane in the front yard and charge local children to take rides in it.
Verdict: Legitimate. This is a business opportunity you won’t want to pass up, just to see every other family in the neighborhood raking in money with their front-yard aeronautics companies. Sign over all of your bank accounts and government bonds to Harrison as soon as possible.

Look at those children having fun in that raft on the roof!
