How to get rid of white border/use entire Hallmark custom Christmas cards I am making? I just bought a package of Hallmark Premium Blank 4x8 Photo cards because I am making my own Christmas cards this year. All of the designs do not use up the entire card, and I want to use the entire card so there is no white border showing. Does anyone know how to do this? On the box, there are pictures of the entire card being used but I can't get mine to be that way. Please help! Thank you.

Custom Christmas Cards? I received a Christmas Card last year that had a whole family in an 'acrobatic type' pose decorating their Christmas tree. They looked like circus performers - it was really cool. There's no way this was really what they were doing and I know they probably had it photo shopped or custom made. Does anyone know of where to go to get things like this done? Is it very expensive? Thanks.

Any good programs to create Christmas cards with custom photos? I'm interested in creating my own Christmas cards with family pictures included in the design, does anyone know any good programs to do this?

does anyone know a good place to make custom christmas cards in san diego? Thanks so much! ?

Where to get Holiday Calendar Cards with Custom Photo? I want to use a custom photo and order about 100 of the Christmas cards that fold out into a small all-in-one-page calendar (the one I am looking at is tri-folded, is 8 " X 17" when stretched out, although it would not necessarily have to be this size). This is for the company that I work for amd we would also have our company name on them. I can't find any place that will let me use my own custom photo to make a calendar card. I know I need to order these pretty soon. Any ideas?

Do I need to complete a customs form for mailing Christmas cards to different countries? I'll be mailing Christmas cards to the U.K. this year...something I have never done before. I went to the U.S.P.S. website and found something called a "customs" form to be filled out. I'm not mailing a package, I'm just mailing a Christmas card...so do I still need to fill out the customs form?

Can you think of any uses for leftover Christmas cards....? ...which have a message on the inside saying "Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and all the best for 2008"? I had my Christmas cards custom-made this year and I have a few left over....something tells me they will be out of date by next year! lol

I am wanting to purchase a computer program for my daughter. She wants one you can make custom cards on? You see ads where people create christmas cards for you using your own pictures. She would like to do this to make extra money. But I am lost as to what programs they are using. Anyone got any ideas. Thanks

Christmas cards? Considering the price of cards and stamps, do you think it is appropriate to send Christmas cards over internet? It seems that this old Christmas card custom is quickly fading away and I don't like it. When I was a child we use to get hundreds of them, but not anymore.

Are Germans big on christmas cards? I just wondered whether it was a custom amongst Germans (in particular students) to send Christmas cards. It seems to be dying out in Britain you see.

calendar christmas cards? Does anyone know where you can order regular boxed nice christmas cards with calendars on them? No expensive custom company or print them yourself please.Thank You

My custom-made photo cards just arrived today, on Jan. 31 - do I send them out to friends and family anyway? They are beautiful, with photos of my baby daughter on them and on the inside cover, and they were expensive, and I ordered forty of them! But the words "Merry Christmas" are on the front. It is Thursday, Jan. 31 today, should I send them out anyway?

Christmas Cards in Urdu I am looking for Urdu speaking Muslim? The Doctor I work for is from India. He is Muslim His first language is Urdu. He plans to celebrate Christmas with his employees because it is our Custom. I want to give him a gift and a Christmas Card written in Urdu. I don't want to cause controversy at the same time I don't want to detract from what is Christian. He is not a Christian but says that he wants to celebrate this holiday with us. The reason that I want to write it in his native language is because most people from other cultures are very pleased when someone attempts to use their language. I am thinking that I would like to say on the outside of the card, Peace on Earth On the inside of the card I would like to write, Dear Doctor Ali, It is a pleasure working for you.. You are a good doctor and have a good sense of humor. I have learned a lot from you and my Christmas wish is to work full time for you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Daniel

Would you send a Christmas card if someone in your family died? My parents-inlaw and grandmother in-law died this year. As many people sent us sympathy card at that time.We talked we gonna send them Christmas card to express thank you for sympathy card. However recently my husband changed his mind. He said "I'm not gonna send a christmas card.it must be horrible feeling when they received. I don't want them to feel bad at christmas time" so I'm confused. In my country(I'm Japanese)usually we send greeting card to apologize for not sending new year card because of mourning in advance. But I don't know about the custom in UK. Do you think it's strange if we send them a christmas card ? or we don't need to send because our family died. fyi:parents in-law died in April and grand mother in-law died in Augst.

What do you think about my composition? My homework was to comment the following statement : "The more we become Europeans,the more we forgot who we are." And I wrote this paragraph: " I consider the statement "The more we become Europeans,the more we forgot who we are." doesn’t express a real situation.We can be influenced by other cultures,but we keep and follow our tradition.Also,the varying holiday symbols reflect different traditions and beliefs, but we all share a common ancient history. Many of these traditions express a common relationship to the world, linking the continent's different national families through rituals, customs of holidays and festivals, Christmas cards and Easter eggs, Christian rites,Mothers' Day and innumerable other quotidian concerns. A number of symbols of Europe has emerged throughout history. A well-known symbol is the flag of Europe. It consists of a circle of 12 golden (yellow) stars on a blue background. the stars represent the peoples of Europe in a circle, a symbol of unity. Their number shall be invariably set at twelve, the symbol of completeness and perfection ... just like the twelve signs of the zodiac represent the whole universe, the twelve gold stars stand for all peoples of Europe."

Can You Think of a Christmas Gift that YOU can GIVE that is a lil piece of you but won't cost much? ? I gathered rocks in the desert today that have little faces on them and I'm gonna glue them to a wooden base and include a self-made Christmas card that I'll design on my computer and print on my Xerox and put it all in a white box and when people open their gift they will realize that just received their very own Custom Rock Group. I even found some hair that I trimmed during last weekend's haircut and with a little glue I can give my rock personnas a mohawk or eye brows or a toupe. So ... what is your creative forte? Do you have an awesome cookie recipe? Perhaps you can make a wicked quiche? Or you "poem people" can create a Christmas card poem that tells your closest friends and relatives why you totally love them, and make them cry with happiness (Thnx for that idea Soror! ). Let's face it ... the economy here in the USA is NOT the BEST and money is tough to come by so what is your secret passion, the ONE ability that you have been hiding all these years, something that you can give that speaks totally YOU!? Share with the WORLD ... the odds are that NO ONE HERE lives anywhere CLOSE to you so EVERYONE SHARE and whatever seems to speak to you, GO WITH IT! Share yourself with those you love and make this the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER! NOW .,.. it be YOUR TURN! Carry on ... What have YOU Got!?

Is this too much ask for on Christmas? Xbox 360 w/ kinect bundle 4GB Custom NikeID shoes Something for 150.00 Little Gifts I have about 125.00 in cash and gift cards right now so i could buy some of this.

Help with Christmas advice? Ok, i have two options for christmas, both i planned out myself. One option is that i dedicate all items on my xmas list/money recieved for xmas towards PC items, the other option would be dedicating it to xbox items (capture card/custom made controller, etc). Heres the thing: -At PC gaming, i have a LARGE community of friends in the game i play in particular (combat arms) and it is a rare occasion that i meet someone who is actually better than me at the game. In other words, lots of friends + i love playing and im always a top 5 daily player (out of hundreds of thousands). -In xbox gaming, im great, not "one of the best," and have a nice sized friends list. The only reason i have this up here is because i like the games better, than just solidly playing ONE pc game. Im not sure if i should go back to PC gaming and get a new keyboard/monitor etc. OR stay on xbox, get better, get games/custom controller/capture card etc. Thanks for opinions.

Why is 5$ put into the birthday card or the new year card? It is a kind of customs? Thanks!? When I wrapped gifts for the clients in a shopping mall during the Christmas day as a volunteer, often someone wanted to put 5$ into the Christmas card. So I wonder if it is a custom or it is just a happenstance. Thanks!

custom gaming computer? I want to get a custom gaming computer for Christmas. I need one for around $1,000. I want the best graphics (nvida 9800, ATI Radeon HD4870) card but i don't know what I need to power it. I was thinking about getting one from alienware or vigor gaming computers.

iv spent most of my christmas money and i don't know what to get my brother for christmas :( please help....? theirs still a month til Christmas but i have most of my presents for people on my parents and grand parents im not spending that much but me and my friend Laura and Chance always spend lots of money on our presents for one another. Me and Chance are getting Laura the new i pod touche a 20$ phone cover, a custom i touche cover and a Aro gift card, and were getting Chance a 200$ iHome a hat and a gift card.... so we usually spend a lot and put a lot of thought in to our presents but me and my 17 year old brother have always gotten each other gift cards like Itunes or something but Chance found out that hes getting me something that iv wanted for the past two years it cost like fifty dollars and it means a lot to me that hes getting it for me, but i don't know what to get him... i thought about just getting him a visa card or something easy but i want it to have some thought put in to it. He's kind of a redneck hes got enough knives, guns, and clothes and he doesn't really take much to make him happy which is a good thing but there's nothing he wants, he likes video games to but hes got all the good ones for his PS3 (black ops., hallo, all the call of duty games) now im only have thirty dollars at the most to spend and im to the point that if i cant find any thing im going to buy him a keg or one of the giant cans of dip.... if someone could help me with some suggestions it would be appreciated, Thanks.

No sound comes out of computer after I purchased a new video card? My 3 year old computer recently died, so for christmas my parents bought me a custom built new computer. I did however keep my monitor. The new computer's video card is the Nvidia 9600 gt, and it works great, but now no sound comes out of my Viewsonic VX2835WM monitor? The sound before worked perfectly fine. We tried everything but nothing seems to work. I have a Realtek HD audio output. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED:)

Could she love me back? Am I worthy of it..? I tell her how I love to talk with her. She hangs out with me often when I invite her to my house, she is my best friend and we go to each other's houses all the time. Our families are good friends with each other, I'm good friends with her parents and brother but she is so much more to me. She doesn't have a cell phone so calling her can be hard sometimes but I usually call and talk to her about 2 hours every day if I can. We meet on a chat room sometimes and mostly talk in private messages there. In a group, we're usually in the corner having our own conversation. If we're in a group, we're always with each other. Obviously she likes me, but I'm worried she doesn't like me as anything more than a friend or that she likes me in some brotherly kind of way. We've never kissed and only hugged once (when I got her what she's always wanted for her birthday). I like to poke her in the arm or something and she lets me and finds it funny. We're both pretty shy. She also can't drive yet ad doesn't have alot of money herself. I can't drive yet either (learning). What do you guys think? I love being around her and making her happy....nearly everything I do to achieve in life is done so I can support her and be with her.. Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I am 18, she is 16, and we have known each other since kindergarten and grown up together. We were friends for many years. We weren't hugely close friends until the past 4-5 years or so. And we've been best friends probably only about a year or two... I know that isn't very long for someone you plan to date, but I want to be with her forever. She is not 'looking for' a boyfriend, and she hasn't ever, she doesn't meet people with thoughts of dating (I know her well enough to know that) but she may be willing to date me.....I hope. She didn't TELL me she isn't looking, it's just obvious from the deep conversations I have with her. She said she trusts me completely, and I told her she knows more than anyone else about me (which is true). Neither of us have ever dated, we try not to go into dating as lightly as most. Also, we have always gone to different schools, as I go to a private school and she goes to a public one. As such, we have different groups of friends. She has met my friends a lot because I plan lots of time with her and include my friends often. Unfortunately, she is not in a position to invite me over much, and I have never met any of her other friends, though I want to and try to. Also, she makes me custom cards. She draws them herself. She has given me cards for High School Graduation, my birthday, christmas, and two thank-you cards for gifts I got her. I have made one card also (though I'm not as good at it as she is) for her birthday when I got her what she always wanted (a nintendo 64, she's a huge nintendo fan and never had many videogames). For those of you who don't understand this, I am NOT after sex or anything sexual. Not until after marriage anyways. She has the same belief and wouldn't do anything sexual either. She would hug or kiss, but nothing sexual. Also, I don't know how to 'flirt' or how to recognize if she does so... And I know she likes me, I mean, I'm her close friend. I'm just worried she might not like me as a boyfriend...

What could her thoughts be? I tell her how I love to talk with her. She hangs out with me often when I invite her to my house, she is my best friend and we go to each other's houses all the time.

I'm just worried she might not like me as a boyfriend... At Paige: She didn't TELL me she isn't looking, I know from discussions with her because she hasn't even thought of anything like that. And yes, she is poor as an individual. $5 is a fairly large amount for her and she makes the cards with detailed, colorful pictures and spends alot of time on them. She is more the kind who has a small group of friends at school, but she said she trusts me absolutely. :)

Do you think she feels the same about me? I tell her how I love to talk with her.

And we've been best friends probably only about a year or two... I know that isn't very long for someone you plan to date, but I want to be with her forever. She is not 'looking for' a boyfriend, and she hasn't ever, she doesn't meet people with thoughts of dating (I know her well enough to know that) but she may be willing to date me.....I hope. She didn't TELL me she isn't looking, it's just obvious from the deep conversations I have with her. She said she trusts me completely, and I told her she knows more than anyone else about me (which is true). Neither of us have ever dated, we try not to go into dating as lightly as most. Also, we have always gone to different schools, as I go to a private school and she goes to a public one. As such, we have different groups of friends. She has met my friends a lot because I plan lots of time with her and include my friends often. Unfortunately, she is not in a position to invite me over much, and I have never met any of her other friends, though I want to and try to. Also, she makes me custom cards. She draws them herself. She has given me cards for High School Graduation, my birthday, christmas, and two thank-you cards for gifts I got her. I have made one card also (though I'm not as good at it as she is) for her birthday when I got her what she always wanted (a nintendo 64, she's a huge nintendo fan and never had many videogames). For those of you who don't understand this, I am NOT after sex or anything sexual. Not until after marriage anyways. She has the same belief and wouldn't do anything sexual either. She would hug or kiss, but nothing sexual. Also, I don't know how to 'flirt' or how to recognize if she does so... And I know she likes me, I mean, I'm her close friend. I'm just worried she might not like me as a boyfriend...

Your guess? Do you think she likes me? (long, please bear with me)? I tell her how I love to talk with her. She hangs out with me often when I invite her to my house, she is my best friend and we go to each other's houses all the time. Our families are good friends with each other, I'm good friends with her parents and brother but she is so much more to me. She doesn't have a cell phone so calling her can be hard sometimes but I usually call and talk to her about 2 hours every day if I can. We meet on a chat room sometimes and mostly talk in private messages there. In a group, we're usually in the corner having our own conversation. If we're in a group, we're always with each other. Obviously she likes me, but I'm worried she doesn't like me as anything more than a friend or that she likes me in some brotherly kind of way. We've never kissed and only hugged once (when I got her what she's always wanted for her birthday). I like to poke her in the arm or something and she lets me and finds it funny. We're both pretty shy. What do you guys think? I love being around her and making her happy....nearly everything I do to achieve in life is done so I can support her and be with her..

She is not 'looking for' a boyfriend, and she hasn't ever, she doesn't meet people with thoughts of dating (I know her well enough to know that) but she may be willing to date me.....I hope. Neither of us have ever dated, we try not to go into dating as lightly as most. Also, we have always gone to different schools, as I go to a private school and she goes to a public one. As such, we have different groups of friends. She has met my friends a lot because I plan lots of time with her and include my friends often. Unfortunately, she is not in a position to invite me over much, and I have never met any of her other friends, though I want to and try to. Also, she makes me custom cards. She draws them herself. She has given me cards for High School Graduation, my birthday, christmas, and two thank-you cards for gifts I got her. I have made one card also (though I'm not as good at it as she is) for her birthday when I got her what she always wanted (a nintendo 64, she's a huge nintendo fan and never had many videogames). And I know she likes me, I mean, I'm her close friend. I'm just worried she might not like me as a boyfriend...

Thoughts? Does she like me back? (long, please bear with me)? I tell her how I love to talk with her. She hangs out with me often when I invite her to my house, she is my best friend and we go to each other's houses all the time. Our families are good friends with each other, I'm good friends with her parents and brother but she is so much more to me. She doesn't have a cell phone so calling her can be hard sometimes but I usually call and talk to her about 2 hours every day if I can. We meet on a chat room sometimes and mostly talk in private messages there. In a group, we're usually in the corner having our own conversation. If we're in a group, we're always with each other. Obviously she likes me, but I'm worried she doesn't like me as anything more than a friend or that she likes me in some brotherly kind of way. We've never kissed and only hugged once (when I got her what she's always wanted for her birthday). I like to poke her in the arm or something and she lets me and finds it funny. We're both pretty shy. What do you guys think? I love being around her and making her happy....nearly everything I do to achieve in life is done so I can support her and be with her.. Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I am 18, she is 16, and we have known each other since kindergarten and grown up together. We were friends for many years. We weren't hugely close friends until the past 4-5 years or so. And we've been best friends probably only about a year or two...

For those of you who don't understand this, I am NOT after sex or anything sexual. Not until after marriage anyways. She has the same belief and wouldn't do anything sexual either. She would hug or kiss, but nothing sexual. And I know she likes me, I mean, I'm her close friend. I'm just worried she might not like me as a boyfriend...

Please help, do you think she loves me back? I tell her how I love to talk with her.

I am 18, she is 16, and we have known each other since kindergarten and grown up together. We were friends for many years. We weren't hugely close friends until the past 4-5 years or so. And we've been best friends probably only about a year or two... I know that isn't very long for someone you plan to date, but I want to be with her forever. She is not 'looking for' a boyfriend, and she hasn't ever, she doesn't meet people with thoughts of dating (I know her well enough to know that) but she may be willing to date me.....I hope. She didn't TELL me she isn't looking, it's just obvious from the deep conversations I have with her. She said she trusts me completely, and I told her she knows more than anyone else about me (which is true). Neither of us have ever dated, we try not to go into dating as lightly as most. Also, we have always gone to different schools, as I go to a private school and she goes to a public one. As such, we have different groups of friends. She has met my friends a lot because I plan lots of time with her and include my friends often. Unfortunately, she is not in a position to invite me over much, and I have never met any of her other friends, though I want to and try to. Also, she makes me custom cards. She draws them herself. She has given me cards for High School Graduation, my birthday, christmas, and two thank-you cards for gifts I got her. I have made one card also (though I'm not as good at it as she is) for her birthday when I got her what she always wanted (a nintendo 64, she's a huge nintendo fan and never had many videogames). For those of you who don't understand this, I am NOT after sex or anything sexual. Not until after marriage anyways. She has the same belief and wouldn't do anything sexual either. She would hug or kiss, but nothing sexual. Also, I don't know how to 'flirt' or how to recognize if she does so... And I know she likes me, I mean, I'm her close friend. I'm just worried she might not like me as a boyfriend...

Could she love me back? (long, please bear with me)? I tell her how I love to talk with her. She hangs out with me often when I invite her to my house, she is my best friend and we go to each other's houses all the time. Our families are good friends with each other, I'm good friends with her parents and brother but she is so much more to me. She doesn't have a cell phone so calling her can be hard sometimes but I usually call and talk to her about 2 hours every day if I can. We meet on a chat room sometimes and mostly talk in private messages there. In a group, we're usually in the corner having our own conversation. If we're in a group, we're always with each other. Obviously she likes me, but I'm worried she doesn't like me as anything more than a friend or that she likes me in some brotherly kind of way. We've never kissed and only hugged once (when I got her what she's always wanted for her birthday). I like to poke her in the arm or something and she lets me and finds it funny. We're both pretty shy. She also can't drive yet ad doesn't have alot of money herself. I can't drive yet either (learning). What do you guys think?

Does she like me as more than a friend? Because I like her that way...? I tell her how I love to talk with her.

Internet site for e greetings with own pics? does anyone know of a website that you can custom taylor your own free e-greeting Christmas/Holiday card and be able to insert your OWN pics vs having a canned message come up? Trying to avoid cards this year since it's so expensive and I don't have a lot of time.

Did Americans Reinvent Christmas? English author Charles Dickens created the classic holiday tale, A Christmas Carol. The story's message-the importance of charity and good will towards all humankind-struck a powerful chord in the United States and England and showed members of Victorian society the benefits of celebrating the holiday. The family was also becoming less disciplined and more sensitive to the emotional needs of children during the early 1800s. Christmas provided families with a day when they could lavish attention-and gifts-on their children without appearing to "spoil" them. As Americans began to embrace Christmas as a perfect family holiday, old customs were unearthed. People looked toward recent immigrants and Catholic and Episcopalian churches to see how the day should be celebrated. In the next 100 years, Americans built a Christmas tradition all their own that included pieces of many other customs, including decorating trees, sending holiday cards, and gift-giving. Although most families quickly bought into the idea that they were celebrating Christmas how it had been done for centuries, Americans had really re-invented a holiday to fill the cultural needs of a growing nation This came from this site http://www.history.com/minisite.do?content_type=Minisite_Generic&content_type_id=1274&display_order=1&sub_display_order=5&mini_id=1290 I find the last sentence most interesting. It wasn't that we reinvented the holiday to be about a religion...but about cultural needs. Thoughts? The Mighty Ra: Correct. This is after all of that. This comes after a ban on Christmas here in the US early in our history. So one interpretation of this article is that christmas was "re-invented" for the people to gather to gether and party. Not necessarily as a religious holiday.

Will my mail still be accepted? I LIVE IN SCOTLAND, UK. Today, I sent a small package to my good friend in USA. Inside the package, along with my letter, Christmas card and two pictures of myself, I also enclosed two small gifts being a Scottish friendship badge and a Scottish fridge ornament. When I was at the post office tonight, when I filled in the custom sticker to write what the content of the package was, I simply wrote "two Scottish souvenirs" instead of writing what they were. Now, I am worried. Will my package still be accepted and delivered to my friend for Christmas?

why jehovah witneses dont celebrate christmas? THE ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS 9 It was not until several hundred years after Jesus lived on the earth that people began to commemorate his birth on December 25. But that was not the date of Jesus’ birth, for it evidently took place in October. So why was December 25 chosen? Some who later claimed to be Christian likely "wished the date to coincide with the pagan Roman festival marking the ‘birthday of the unconquered sun.’" (The New Encyclopædia Britannica) In winter, when the sun seemed weakest, pagans held ceremonies to get this source of warmth and light to come back from its distant travels. December 25 was thought to be the day that the sun began its return. In an effort to convert pagans, religious leaders adopted this festival and tried to make it seem "Christian." 10 The pagan roots of Christmas have long been recognized. Because of its unscriptural origin, Christmas was banned in England and in some of the American colonies during the 17th century. Anyone who even stayed home from work on Christmas day had to pay a penalty. Soon, though, the old customs were back, and some new ones were added. Christmas once again became a big holiday, and that is what it still is in many lands. Because of the connections that Christmas has with false religion, however, those who want to please God do not celebrate it or any other holiday that has its roots in pagan worship. Has the modern-day celebration of Christmas lost sight of Christ? Officially, December 25 has been observed since the fourth century C.E., when the Roman Catholic Church designated that day for religious observance of Jesus’ birth. But according to a recent poll taken in the United States, only 33 percent of those polled felt that the birth of Christ is the most important aspect of Christmas. What do you think? Do you at times feel that in all the insistent advertising, the harried buying of presents, the decorating of trees, the organizing and attending of parties, the sending of cards—Jesus has somehow been left out of the picture? Many seem to feel that one way to put Christ back into Christmas is by displaying a Nativity scene, or crèche. Likely you have seen such groupings of figurines, representing the baby Jesus in a manger surrounded by Mary, Joseph, some shepherds, "three wise men," or "three kings," some barnyard animals, and some onlookers. It is commonly felt that these crèches serve to remind people of the real meaning of Christmas. According to U.S. Catholic, "a crèche gives a more developed picture than any single gospel can give, though it also emphasizes the nonhistorical character of these narratives." How, though, would a Nativity scene suggest that the narratives in the Gospel accounts of the Bible are nonhistorical? Well, it must be admitted that quaintly painted little sculptures lend an aura of legend or fairy tale to the birth of Christ. First popularized by a monk in the 13th century, the Nativity scene was once a fairly modest affair. Today, like so many other things associated with this holiday, Nativity scenes have become big business. And my last thougt to leave you with in the bible it leaves you with the day and year and month and date when jesus died, but there is NO evidence of jesus being born on Dec. 25, Maybe you feel that the origins of holidays have little to do with how they are celebrated today. Do origins really matter? Yes! To illustrate: Suppose you saw a piece of candy lying in the gutter. Would you pick up that candy and eat it? Of course not! That candy is unclean. Like that candy, holidays may seem sweet, but they have been picked up from unclean places. To take a stand for true worship, we need to have a viewpoint like that of the prophet Isaiah, who told true worshipers: "Touch nothing unclean."—Isaiah 52:11 Another disturbing question arises with regard to the nature of Christmas celebrations. If Jesus returned to the earth today, what would he think about the rank commercialism of Christmas? would he approve of it?

Why my best friend always criticizing me that I want to fix his computer? My best friend owns his Dell XPS 600 in late October 2005. His XPS 600 used to be fast in late 2005, but few months later his computer is becoming old and slow because the new games were far more advanced, new graphics, and very complex now. His computer can barely play these next-gen games like Oblivion. My brother and I built our own-custom gaming computer. We built it in Christmas 2005. Our gaming computer is 2X powerful than my friend's. My friend want me to tweak his computer like new tweaks driver for his graphic card (Nvidia Geforce 6800) and overclocking configuration. It runs perfectly and almost becoming to par as our gaming computer. Few weeks later, my friend's computer screwed up. My friend started to blaming me what I did some tweaking for his system. I told him that I didn't tweak his WHOLE system, but just for his video card. He misunderstood me. My friend started to reinstall the old driver (77.79). Today, he still use the same driver and his games is slower as hell! His computer getting slower and older now. I found out his computer using the worst Antivirus program, Norton Antivirus. I know this antivirus program very well and it does happened to my dad's computer and totally screwed my dad's computer. I found the evidence that causes my friend's computer. I tried to make my friend to understand me, but he don't believe me. I told him if he still using his Norton Antivirus and it will contiune screwing his computer up until his computer will be out of comission. Every time, his computer always alerting him that virus infected inside his computer. I told him everything what is going to happen to his computer if he still using Norton Antivirus and he don't believe me!!!

Custom Made Boxes ? Hi there, this might be a weird question but I'll ask anyway. I play this game, and my guild mates are like family to me. Every Christmas we have an exchange event, sometimes some guild members on this game send post cards, or cookies they make irl. I wanted to spice it up a bit. I have something I really wanted to hand craft in this game. (Heres a picture) http://img139.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boxysam4.jpg Basically, it's just a box, it's pretty simple. Unfortunately, I'm not so talented in crafting stuff like this. So what my question really is, does anyone know a good site / store that will actually custom make a requested box (or something) if you bring in a detailed picture of what design you want it to be ect.. ? Thank's in advanced !

I am looking for Arabic speaking Muslim convert to Catholicism or Christianity? The Doctor I work for is from India. He is Muslim and speaks Arabic. I don't know that Arabic is his first language. He plans to celebrate Christmas with his employees because it is our Custom. When I say celebrate Christmas with us I mean he plans to give us a gift and maybe have dinner with us. I want to give him a gift and a Christmas Card written in Arabic. I don't want to cause controversy at the same time I don't want to detract from what is Christian. If I posted what I would want the card to say could someone help me to write it in Arabic. If what I write in the card is in some way offensive to the culture or would cause controversy would someone correct me. I like him very much and do want to impress him. Comments are welcome. Daniel I asked Doctor today and his native language is called Urdu. He is not a Christian but says that he wants to celebrate this holiday with us. The reason that I want to write it in his native language is because most people from other cultures are quit pleased when someone attempt to use their language. I think using doctors native language would be a suprise and at the same time he would be flattered that I use his language. He does not work in India he works in the US. I am thinking that I would like to say on the outside of the card, Peace on Earth On the inside I would like to write, It is a pleasure working for you. I have learned a lto from you and my Christmas wish is to work full time for you. Merry Christmas Daniel I don't think that would be nice. Now I just have to find someone who speaks Urdu.

Do you have a pet....? Australian letter of the year This is an actual letter sent to the then DFAT Minster, The Hon Alexander Downer and the then Immigration, The Hon Minister Amanda Vanstone. The Government tried in desperation to censure the author, but got nowhere because every legal person who read it nearly wet themselves laughing! Please excuse the language contained within, but I suspect the author was somewhat upset? I'll let you decide! Another happy customer of the Federal government. A fabulous characteristic of Australians is that we are far more direct and outspoken than others when dealing with the sort of elected wanker who wouldn't otherwise get the full drift of what they were trying to communicate. Below is one such wonderful communication... Dear Mr. Minister, I'm in the process of renewing my passport, and still cannot believe this. How is it that K-Mart has my address and telephone number, and knows that I bought a Television Set and Golf Clubs from them back in 1997, and yet, the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date. For Christ sakes, do you guys do this by hand? My birth date you have in my Medicare information, and it is on all the income tax forms I've filed for the past 40 years. It is on my driver's licence, on the last eight passports I've ever had, on all those stupid customs declaration forms I've had to fill out before being allowed off the planes over the last 30 years, and all those insufferable census forms that I've filled out every 5 years since 1966. Also..would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Audrey, my Father's name is Jack, and I'd be absolutely fucking astounded if that ever changed between now and when I drop dead!!!.. SHIT! I apologize, Mr. Minister. But I'm really pissed off this morning. Between you an' me, I've had enough of all this bullshit! You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my fucking address!! What the hell is going on with your mob? Have you got a gang of mindless Neanderthal arseholes workin' there! And another thing, look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I can't even grow a beard for God's sakes. I just want to go to New Zealand and see my new granddaughter. (Yes, my son interbred with a Kiwi girl). And would someone please tell me, why would you give a shit whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? If I ever got the urge to do something weird to a sheep or a horse, believe you me, I'd sure as hell not want to tell anyone! Well, I have to go now, 'cause I have to go to the other end of the city, and get another fucking copy of my birth certificate, and to part with another $80 for the privilege of accessing MY OWN INFORMATION! Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot, to assist in the issuance of a new passport on the same day?? Nooooo... that'd be too fucking easy and makes far too much sense. You would much prefer to have us running all over the place like chickens with our fucking heads cut off, and then having to find some high society wanker to confirm that it's really me in the goddamn photo! You know the photo..the one where we're not allowed to smile?! ...you fucking morons Signed - An Irate Australian Citizen. P.S Remember what I said above about the picture, and getting someone in high-society to confirm that it's me? Well, my family has been in this country since before 1850! In 1856, one of my forefathers took up arms with Peter Lalor. (You do remember the Eureka Stockade!!) I have also served in both the CMF and regular Army something over 30 years (I went to Vietnam in 1967), and still have high security clearances. I'm also a personal friend of the president of the RSL.. and Lt General Peter Cosgrove sends me a Christmas card each year. However, your rules require that I have to get someone 'important' to verify who I am; You know.. someone like my doctor; WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN FUCKING PAKISTAN!!!......a country where they either assassinate or hang their ex-Prime Ministers, and are suspended from the Commonwealth for not having the 'right sort of government.' You are all Fucking idiots

Gifts for Employees?? What do you want to receive this year? We already are doing the following: - Christmas Party in early December(dinner theater comedy show, guest invited) - Cash bonus - $20 Gift card for their favorite grocery store (in lieu of turkeys, we don't get a great response when we give turkeys anymore) - Hallmark ornament customized to their personal hobbies - Custom snowman wall plaque (www.familysigns.com) - Rainy Day Fund jar with a $50 gift card inside to their favorite store - Continental Breakfast on 12/22 Not sure what else to give them. We always give gift baskets full of something. One year it was a breakfast theme with about $100 worth of stuff in it and a gift card. One year we did digital cameras. We thought this year we'd do 5-6 gifts around $10-20 each for each employee and hand them out one at a time (sort of "santa" style) under the tree. We only have 8 employees so it is managable. Any ideas? We want to keep it personalized & useful for everyone - most employees are in their 40s or 50s.

Will prices for computer components go up or down after the holidays? Hey guys, I have a custom computer build all picked out right now, the problem is I wont have the money for it till after Christmas, around halfway through January. My question is will the prices of all my parts (Motherboard, Video card, Processor etc.) go up after Christmas? My computer will be a pretty high spec machine. A Quad core Q6600, Superclocked 8800GT video card 680i MoBo and so on. Also I am shopping from Tigerdirect. Should I buy the parts I can afford now or should I wait to buy them all after Christmas?

How can I make it sound more professional? Prime sat down in the seat across from Sin. "That went good. Ace wanna holler at you and tell you how things going in DC. You already talked with your godfather, Remo Salieri. You talked with our lawyer, Silverstein earlier. And after you talk with Ace that's it. You can enjoy the party thrown by the lovely Donna" Prime explained. Sincere got up and went to mini-fridge in the corner of the room. He grabbed two bottles of cold Moët et Chandon which he kept in there. He handed one to Prime. "You deserve it Prime" Sin told his life-long friend as he got the corkscrew out of his desk pocket. Sin walked out to the gorgeous balcony by sliding open the acardia door. It was breezy but just knowing they were true blue millionaires it didn't bother them. Sin popped open the champagne and watched the champagne simmer down a story into the glistening snow. Donna had outdone herself with the Christmas decorations. Nobody was in the backyard right now but it was fully decorated. Snowman's, Reindeer's, and other symbols of Christmas glowed with it's lights. The house itself was lit up with christmas lights. It was beautiful. Sincere loved that he had a wife that really liked to do it. This time around always reminded him of his grandmother Florence. She always decorated the house in exciting decorations. Sin smiled when he thought of her small body putting up the Christmas lights on the living room windows. Family from Virginia, North Carolina, and Connecticut would come together for that week and celebrate. They would drink egg nog, play cards, and give eachother gifts. Sin still couldn't believe his grandmother was dead, going on ten years now. Prime took a swig of his champagne. "Man we really here Sin. Can you believe it God" he exclaimed, thinking back on the days he was poor growing up in Brownsville cold streets. "Yeah I can believe it dog" Sin said, throwing his arm over Prime's neck. "A huge part of this success is you man. A huge part of it. While we here I wanna give you this. Stay right here" he stated as he went back into the office and dug in his desk drawer then came back on the balcony. "Here nigga" Sin handed him a velvet box. Prime looked at Sin then opened it. Inside was a Rolex Oyster watch. It had a 36mm stainless steel case, fluted gold bezel, custom white Mother Of Pearl Dial with raised diamond hour markers, and stainless steel and 18K gold Jubilee bracelet. Prime broke out into a huge smile and huged Sin. Sin threw his arms around his street brother and while he held him he said "Prime, I love you kid don't forget that". Prime was a year younger than Sin, twenty five, but he felt like the little boy that used to follow Sin around the projects. "Yall gone get a room or what" a voice spoke interrupting their brotherly moment. They turned around to see Donna staring back at them. The doorway seemed to enclose her like a border would a lovely photograph-one that glistened. A shaft of light from the window caused the lavishly sequined dress to shimmer like any luxurious Chanel dress would. The Chanel baby-doll dress draped her body with purpose, ending right above her knee in a classy style. They broke off from their embrace laughing at Donna's comment. "Hey baby" Sin asked, kissing Donna's Mac smeared lips. Prime greeted Donna with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Donna came out on the balcony with Sin. "What are you looking at Sincere Frazier?" Donna sarcastically asked as she smiled uncontrollably as Sin eyed her in that sexy get up. Sin walked over to her and grabbed her in a tight but comfortable hug and kissed her once more. "I'm looking at the sexiest girl in the world" he complimented. She was extremely gorgeous and to have a spectacular body didn't hurt either. Donna had knew Sin for close to ten years before they hooked up. Sin was in her brother Kevin's street gang during the mid-70s. Sincere had got locked up on numerous charges in '85 but got his case appealed two years later and won. When he came home he noticed just how sexy Donna was and she wasn't like the other neighborhood girls. She went in at 8PM, even on the weekends. She was a college chick and had attended Howard University for close to two years before dropping out. Although her husband shoveled in thousands a day in drug profits she wanted her own money and worked as secretery at Manhattan lawfirm. On the weekends she attended Business Administeration classes at NYU. Sin took his time telling Donna how she had outdone herself with the Christmas party. He told her how viviating she looked in her dress, how nice her hair looked. Compliment after compliment he gave her making her mocha latte skin tone blush. He told her he had something for her and went into his office and came back with a fancy gift-wrapped box. "What is it boo?" she asked, shaking the box lightly. "Just open it Di-Di" he urged her, smiling at the same time. He waited for her to open it with his arms c

Hi guys Im currently putting together some parts for a custom built Desktop PC which will be up and running just after christmas, some parts i have and some parts i am going to get but here is my set up so far: MOBO - ASUS P5K Premium Black Pearl Edition CPU - Intel Quad Q6600 RAM - 4GB (2 x 2 GB) OCZ Reaper PC2 - 8500 Graphics - 2 x ATI HD 4850 (Crossfire) Case - Antec Twelve Hundred Hard Drive probably will be - 1TB (2 x 500GB Not sure on brand yet) My question is what power supply will i need to run all this through comfortably? i dont want the thing to catch fire from a PSU thats overworking itself after how much it has cost.

Halloween: are these things true? I found this article on the internet and it sounds true. Also I read the Scriptures cited and they indicate that the God of the Bible must hate Halloween. HALLOWEEN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF THE YEAR FOR SATAN WORSHIPPERS *** The Facts Behind Halloween—Ancient Night of Terror *** It is the last night of October. By the light of the moon, a small group of costumed figures move from house to house stating their demands with dire threats. Guarding some doorsteps are grimacing pumpkin heads glowing with burning candles—made from human fat. Other doors drip with human blood. It is the night of Samhain, Celtic lord of the dead. Perhaps in no other holiday does Satan so obviously honor himself and honor his war dead. The writer J. Garnier suggests that celebrations of suffering and death can be traced back to the ancient destruction of all of the Devil’s human followers, as well as the giant bully sons of fallen angels, at the time of the Flood. Cultures the world over have festivals for the dead, “held worldwide on or almost the exact day on which, according to the Bible, the Flood took place: the seventeenth day of the second month—the month nearly corresponding with our November.”—The Worship of the Dead, by J. Garnier. The Druids were no exception. On October 31, Samhain was said to release the spirits of the dead to mingle with the living. Druids roamed the streets with lanterns, and on coming to a house, they demanded money as an offering for Satan. Halloween is a major satanic ritual day. “It’s a religious holiday for Satan and the Demons, with satanists performing sacrifices and witches quietly celebrating with prayer circles or meals for the dead,” according to a USA Today article. It quoted Washington witch Bryan Jordan as saying, “[Christians] don’t realize it, but they’re celebrating our holiday with us. . . . We like it.” Anton LaVey, author of The Satanic Bible and high priest of the Church of Satan states, “Satanists consider Halloween the most important day of the year. Satanic, occult and witchcraft powers are at their highest potency level…Satan and his powers are at their best that night.” Traditional Halloween activities continue Samhain's spirit of celebration in the face of frightening thoughts of death and the supernatural. These include: scary movies, haunted houses, ghost stories and Ouija boards to contact the demons and the spirit realm. Greeting cards, decorations, and candy are also a big part of Halloween. The holiday is second only to Christmas in the amount of money stores make off of it. MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION: 1) Read Matthew 22:37 and you decide: Would you want to have ANY part in a celebration that is designed to honor Satan the Devil? 2) Read Deuteronomy 18:10-13 and you decide: What are the reasons that you do not want anything to do with Halloween? DID YOU KNOW? WHERE DO HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS COME FROM? The Jack o’ lantern When the Irish immigrants arrived in America, they brought with them the tradition of carving-out turnips or potatoes and placing coals or a small candle inside of it. These were then displayed on doorsteps at Halloween to ward off evil spirits. However, the Irish quickly discovered that it was much easier to carve out the pumpkin and this was soon a basic tradition of the Halloween festivities. The belief behind the Irish tradition of this carving is based upon the myth called “Stingy Jack”: Stingy Jack was a miserable, old drunk who loved playing tricks on anyone and everyone. One dark, Halloween night, Jack ran into the Devil in a bar where Jack tricked the Devil by offering his soul in exchange for one last drink. When Stingy Jack eventually died several years later, he went to the Gates of Heaven, but was not allowed in because he had spent his whole life lying and drinking. So, Jack then went down to Hell, but the Devil would not let him enter. From that day forward, Stingy Jack has been doomed to roam the earth as a ghost with only a turnip that he had stolen, hollowed out, and with a coal from the fires of Hell inside of it to light his way. MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION: 1) Are Jack o’ lantern’s just “innocent fun”? Trick or Treating Trick or treating started as leaving food and wine for roaming dead spirits and ghosts. The custom was referred to as "going a-souling" and was eventually practiced only by the children who would visit the houses in their neighborhoods and be given gifts of ale, food and money. It was believed the spirits of the dead returned to visit their old homes during Halloween and, in ancient times, people left food out for them and arranged chairs so that they would be able to rest. MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION: 1) Is trick or treating just “innocent fun” as some people claim? 2) Read Genesis 3:19 and Psalm 146:4 what really happens to someone after they die? Costumes: On Halloween, when it was believed that spirits returned to the earthly world, people would wear masks w

Jehovah’s Witnesses: Do motives matter when it comes to saluting the flag? You believe that the US flag is "an idolatrous symbol" and therefore refuse to salute it – because doing so would amount to worship. The claim is that it is a symbol of government which is under the rule of Satan. For these same reasons, they refuse to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Worship is defined as reverent honor and homage paid to God or to any object regarded as sacred and holy. So by saluting the flag, they believe that one is showing he/she believes it is a sacred and holy thing, worthy of worship. But consider this. Two people could perform the same action, but with different motives. And whether the action is sinful would often depend on the motive – that is, why they were doing it. For example, I might take pictures of birds simply because I enjoy God’s wonderful creation or I might do it because I am worshipping a Great Blue Heron. Likewise, I might send my dad a Father’s Day card just because I am trying to honor him (as the Bible commands) or because I believe he is a deity and I am actively worshiping him. Or I might have a Christmas tree because it’s a fun custom for the kids or I might actually be worshiping that tree. God judges the heart (motives) of people, and not just the actions. Religious legalists try to judge actions entirely, without considering the motives. So why is it that you can say with absolute certainty, that saluting the flag is an act of worship? How can you know the mind (motives) of every single person who performs this act? Edit: True worship is about the attitude of the heart. You can sit inside a garage for three months, but you won’t become a car. Likewise, you can sit on a church pew and sing hymns, but that doesn’t make you a true worshipper of Jehovah-God. God judges our inner hearts and not just our actions. He was displeased with the Israelites because He knew that they were worshiping a golden calf in their hearts. My son once made an animal out of clay for a school art project. Whether (or not) that constituted idol worship would depend on his motives for making the object and his attitude about it. Jehovah’s Witnesses are deeply concerned about the possible pagan origins of Father’s Day, Christmas, the Pledge of Allegiance, Chess, wearing beards, and a ton of other stuff. But in most all cases, the fact that there is some pagan origin to a practice (from ancient history) is irrelevant. Whether it is sin depends upon what the person (and society in general) thinks about it. Add: I believe some folks have become outright obsessive about avoiding any practice with “pagan origins,” when those origins are extremely tenuous and totally ancient. And I see a lot of hypocrisy and inconsistency here. It reminds me of Freud who claimed that cigarette smokers have a breast fixation, but that a “cigar is just a cigar.” (Freud was fond of cigars.) Get a grip people; almost everything in this world has SOME pagan origins! Also, about the golden calf, it’s true that the Israelites claimed to be doing that “for God,” but the story is also quite clear that their motives were entirely sinful (for example, saying the calf led them out of Egypt). There is a limit to my point, however. A swastika, for example, should never be displayed by Christians – even if you claim to have Godly motives for doing it.

HELP!!! US Citizen Marrying Canada Citizen? Dear members, I need some HELP!!! I am male (US Citizen) and my fiancee female (Cananda Citizen) is trying to figure out what is the best way for us to be together. I currently reside in Chicago IL USA and she is in Vancouver BC. We have been together for about a year now. About two month ago she came to united states to be together on my birthday and holiday. US custom gave her such a hard time at Vancouver airport. she was held at the custom for over 4 hours and she ended up missing the flight. Her plan was to visit US for 2 months and they wouldn't allow her to stay that long. They accused her from not returning to Canada. They told her that she must return to Canada within a month. So she stayed for a month and she has returned back home to Vancouver. We both figure it will look good on her record since she has returned to Canada on time. after staying in Vancouver for about a month, she has recently tried to come back to United States for Christmas and new year. and once again she was pulled to custom and was held of over 5 hours this time. And they would not let her go. They accused her saying " you will not come back. you don't own a house, or you don't work" so you are not going to come back to Canada. They told her that only way for her to visit United States is that she will need to either have to own a house in Vacouver, have a job, or get a Visa. but she is not banned since she did not violate any law. is this possible for US custom to do that to her?? is there anyway for her to come visit me in the US?? and second question that I have is this... is it easier to get married in Canada and reside in Canada? or file for K-1 visa and wait 7months to 1 years and live in US? I work for a large bank in United States and feel confident that I will find a job in Canada. So it really doesnt matter where we reside. I would prefer United States but I realize that she can not visit until she gets the K-1 Visa. This is the reason why I started to look for other options such as reside in Canada since I can visit Canada without any problem. How long does it take for me to become permanent resident in Canada once I get married in Canada and file for green card? and may I work right away or do I have to file a work permit? how long would this take? and can I file both work permit and green card at the same time? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much can i stay legally in Canada once I get married in Canada and file for permanent resident? would I be able to work right away?

What do you think Immigration raids continue The person ICE came to see was an employee of Electrolux? Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) visited the home of a Springfield alderman Thursday night amid what appears to be increased enforcement against illegal immigrants.Alderman Clay Sneed, who lives on Kinneys Road, rents out space in his house along with his other rental properties in the city. He was out on a call for his security company when ICE visited house between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Thursday.My wife said there were some vans here,” Sneed said. “They weren’t concerned about anything we were doing. They were just concerned about someone that was renting downstairs.”The person ICE came to see was an employee of Electrolux.For many residents, every day life continued unabated as signs of ICE’s presence were subtle, yet present.A local award-winning Mexican restaurant was closed for "plumbing problems" for the second time this month. The first time was last week when ICE activity was confirmed in the city by Springfield police officials, who were working with them. The restaurant reopened Saturday.At Wal-Mart, the lines of those paying for their presents and groceries were almost entirely devoid of Hispanics leading up to Christmas, employees have confirmed.“I’ve noticed that for the past week and a half, [the presence of Hispanics] has decreased significantly,” Michael Greene, who works in electronics at the store, said. “Usually they are buying cards for prepaid phones and they just haven’t been there at all.”The presence of ICE and rumors of their presence have been circulating through the city since allegations about the hiring of illegal immigrants at Electrolux Home Products emerged earlier this month.The company has since released a statement that a system – called E-verify -- to check the authenticity of documents provided by potential employees. According to the Department of Homeland Security website, E-verify is “an Internet-based system operated by the Department of Homeland Security in partnership with the Social Security Administration that allows participating employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their newly hired employees.” In addition to the firings, a number of Hispanics are preparing should they need to leave the county. Sneed, a notary public, has helped approximately 30 people in recent weeks prepare their paperwork. “They’re going home,” Sneed said. “I don’t see anything wrong with helping these people leave the country.” http://tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071226/MTCN0301/71226017/1304/MTCN03

Computer Freezing up.? I just recently bought a new, custom built computer. It has a Gig of RAM, a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Proc. and a GeForce 8500 GT Graphics card. The basic problem Im having is with games. Certain games cause the computer to lock-up during game play or loading. This is random and happens at different times, depending on the game being played. The Lock-up is accompanied with a annoying sound, that sounds like a repeating of the last sound played. The same thing has happened to me while on my desktop, but it mainly happens on certain games. So far, it has done it with The Sims 2, Medieval 2 Total War, SPORE, and Dawn of War. The weird thing about this is all of those games have different requirements, so it cant be that. Please, I need help here people. The computer techs at the place where I bought it at wont do anything unless I pay. Ive been dealing with this problem since last christmas. Any ideas?

WHAT is wrong with my Sims 2 game? Okay well for Christmas I got the Seasons expansion pack. But when I tried to install it the floors were flashing purple. Later found out I didn't have a big enough graphics card so i uninstalled the expansion. For a while it worked fine and the lots loaded really fast. But somehow all my custom content was deleted. So I download my custom content again. NOW my lots wont load. Thirty minutes go by and its STILL loading. Finally, I'll get pissed off and exit the game. This is really starting to annoy me, do you know what it could be?
