Christian Spirituality Examiner: Monday, Jan. 7, through Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013
As we move into the second week of the New Year, here are some of the events and celebrations coming up in the Week Ahead in Central Ohio:
National Hobby Month—Jan. 1-31, 2013
Picking up a new hobby is a great way to kick-off the New Year. Whether you choose exercise and some other health activity, such as hiking, biking, skating, swimming, walking, skiing, bowling, all these heart healthy activities provide great ways to improve your health and put some fun in your life. It is important that your hobby is enjoyable, so that it will be easier to stick to.
For those who prefer more sedentary activities, there are number of activities associated with reading: going to the library, joining a Book Club or discussion group, subscribing to your local newspaper or Internet publication, such as Examiner.com. Learning a new board game, such as chess or Parcheesi or checkers or Scrabble or something you’ve never played before, can also be fun.
Look for an article related to National Hobby Month, along with a profile on David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby, a nationwide store specializing in arts/crafts supplies, picture frames and much more.

Innovatively fusing traditional ethnic music with state-of-the-art rhythms, the work of Deep Forest was best typified by their 1993 smash "Sweet Lullaby," which brought together the contemporary sounds of ambient techno with the haunting voices of the Pygmies of the central African rain forest. The project was primarily the work of the French keyboardists and programmers Eric Mouquet and Michael Sanchez after the latter returned from Africa with boxes of records he'd picked up across the continent.
