While celebrating festivities with the family, there should be no hindrance and no obstruction in the celebration. But everything does not go according to our plans. Finances sometimes, play the spoilsport in our celebrations. Bad credit also lowers the spirit and joy in the heart. But now, bad credit rating Christmas loan provides money to the borrowers so that they also can be joyous at the holy occasion.

Bad credit history of a borrower does not act as an impediment in the way of bad credit rating Christmas loan but yes, a slightly higher rate of interest is charged from him to cover the risk of non-repayment of the loan amount borrowed through bad credit rating Christmas loan.

Bad credit rating Christmas loan is a short term loan which does not require any collateral to be pledged with the lender. It is borrowed in the Christmas season to fulfill needs like throwing a Christmas party, buying new clothes, shopping for home, buying a Christmas tree, buying gifts for family and friends etc.

Bad credit rating Christmas loan is a loan that is borrowed only for a short term and for its approval, it is necessary to fulfill some pre-requisites. They are:

• Regular employment since last 6 months

• Regular residence since last 3 months

• Checking account in a bank at least six months old.

• Citizenship of UK and

• Adulthood

Due to the bad credit history, the rate of interest is slightly raised above the usual loan rates.

Cover for "Boondock Saints ll: all saints day!"?

No, I haven't seen the trailer yet, but I REALLY want to. Troy Duffy said it was going to be released on August 19th, but it never happened. Anyways, here's the cover of it, if you haven't seen it yet. It's cool, just like the first one. I love Norman Reedus and he's my favorite actor. Sean Patrick Flanery is cool too, but Norman's my favorite.

I also saw Duffy post the trailer release date on twitter. I hope maybe tomorrow they will release it.

Put A Playground On Your Christmas List

With winter now here, schools should start to plan ahead for the better weather of the New Year. A new playground can really put spring in the step of children at any school. Regrettably, many schools would like to purchase new playground equipment but are unable to generate the necessary funds. Many schools would like to apply for playground equipment funding but many don't know where to start.

Leading outdoor playground equipment suppliers have worked with schools across the UK to help them make the most of the play spaces available. They design and install playground equipment for schools, Councils and local authorities to improve the play experience for children. Playground suppliers can also help schools to gain funding for playgrounds using their years of experience in the industry.

A variety of playground funding sources are available including School fundraising events, Lottery funding and The Playground Partnership. With Christmas rapidly approaching, schools should make the most of the Christmas spirit to raise funds for playground equipment.

"Christmas is a great time for giving. Schools can take advantage of this and raise funds for playground equipment by holding a range of events such as a cake sale, Carol Service, raffle or bring and buy. This is a win-win for the school as parents, people from the community and school children can all get involved to help raise money for a great cause" said a spokesperson for playground supplier Playforce.

Outdoor playground equipment suppliers are currently offering a free playground funding ideas factsheet for schools across the UK. "Many schools need to get help funding their playgrounds but many don't know where to start. We've got years of experience working with schools and have condensed our knowledge into an easy to read factsheet"

The factsheet also gives advice on how to prioritise playground funding campaigns, how to develop a playground strategy and include all stakeholders in the development projects. The advice for playground funding applicants is that "It is important that schools take the time to make their playground funding applications specific to the awarding body. We have found that a lot of schools use the same applications again and again and fail to get the result they want. The single biggest factor in making applications successful is to do research. If schools put the time in with their applications, they are more likely to get their applications approved."

The factsheet can be downloaded online from the Playforce website, this also provides further information about playground equipment. There is a listing of outdoor children's playground equipment which can also be provided, as well as other resources which are available for schools. "For schools looking to improve their holistic approach to play, we now offer additional advice and supporting documents. Schools now have many things to consider when looking at how to improve play in the community such as inclusion, Disability Discrimination Act compliance and travel planning. We have put together publications, guides and teaching supports to help schools when thinking about play"

Shopping and Sightseeing in Lisbon - Flat in Lisbon

Lisbon is a paradise for budget shoppers. It boasts of some of the largest shopping malls and international retailers in Europe. Most popular among them are Armazens do Chiado, Amoreiras and Colombo. Traditional markets are situated in Mercado da Ribeira downtown.

There are all types of traditional and boutique shops especially in the downtown Lisbon. They offer good bargains for leather and handcrafted merchandize.

Centro Vasco da Gama

The shopping center has the décor of an ocean theme with water flowing over the transparent roof. There are several fast food outlets and shops by genre. There is also a 10-foot screen cinema hall.

Colombo

Colombo is one of the largest shopping malls and leisure complexes in Europe. It houses a large number of restaurants, a bowling alley, health club, multiplex cinema theatre, fun rides including a roller coaster and a go-cart track.

El Corte Inglês

Owned by a Spanish departmental chain store, it is one of the largest stores in Lisbon. It is spread over nine floors and also houses a supermarket, a gourmet shop, cafes, restaurants, a 14-screen cinema hall, fashion brands, sports items, electronics, books, CDs and various household goods.

Restaurants

If you are looking for some special or gourmet food, you may head for:

Celeiro

Celeiro specializes in vegetarian health food and microbiotic products. Every food item provided here is completely natural.

Manuel Tavares

This wonderful eatery dates back to 1860s and offers the choicest selection of chocolates, cheeses, nuts and vintage wines besides a wide array of Portuguese products.

Mercearia da Atalaia

Handicrafts & Textiles

Principe Real

You can buy some of Europe’s prettiest tablecloths and sheets at Principe Real. Their customers’ list consists of the rich and famous of the European society. They include Kennedys, Rockefellers and Michael Douglas. The products here are handcrafted and manually embroidered according to the order.

Antiga Casa do Castelo

Although owned by an American, Antiga Casa do Castelo specializes in Portuguese handicrafts including ceramics, linen, tiles, soaps and embroidery.

Sightseeing in Lisbon

Lisbon, in fact, has not been spruced up to be a tourist attraction. Lisbon is a strange mix of the old and the new. You only need to get lost through its streets and roads to discover its typical sights and scenes. You will be surprised by the beauty of the cobbled patterns in the city’s streets. The buildings located in the Parque das Nacoes reflect the maritime interest of the Portuguese people in their themes and architecture.

Although the city boasts of several big time attractions, yet the real Lisbon lies in its street life and setting. You can watch and admire Lisbon from the top of the hilltop miradouro or simply by walking or biking through it.

Belem Tower

Belem Tower enjoys the same patronage and popularity in Lisbon as Eiffel Tower in Paris and Big Ben in London. It is Lisbon’s icon and the most visited and photographed tower of Lisbon.  It was built in 1515 as a fortress to safeguard the Lisbon harbor. Jeronimos Monastry situated close to it is another unforgettable attraction.

Castle of St. George

Dating back to 6th century, Castle of St. George is visible almost every locality of the city. It served as the residence of the royal Moors until the first ruler of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, captured it in 1147. It was then dedicated to St. George, the patron saint of England, to commemorate the Anglo-Portuguese pact of 1371. You can see the statue of King Afonso Henriques near the main gate.

The origins of Valentines Day

Every year February 14th is celebrated as a day for love, exchange of gifts, promises of eternal passion, and more. The inspired pen poems inspired by their love and admiration for the women of their dreams while others just go to shops and buy commercially available verses.

Valentines means candy, chocolates, perfume, red hearts, balloons, and more. Have you ever wondered when the celebration first originated? Well in ancient Rome, February heralded the coming to spring a time for rejuvenation, fertility, and growth.

In ancient times, Romans celebrated in February a festival to honor the god of fertility who provided them with progeny and ensured a god crop. In Rome February 15th was celebrated as the feast of Lupercalla and Feb 14th as a holiday in honor of Juno the queen of Roman gods and goddesses. On the eve of Lupercalla a glass jar was filled to the brim with chits on which were penned the names of all eligible girls. Then young men would draw a chit each from the jar and the girl whose name was on the chit would be his partner for the celebration. This was a method by which ancient Romans introduced eligible boys and girls to one another.

Much later in the 3rd century BCE when Emperor Claudius II ruled Rome there lived a priest called Valentine. And when Claudius passed a decree that young men in his empire were not to marry, Valentine defied him and used to consecrate marriages secretly. He was sentenced to death and thrown into prison. While awaiting his execution Valentine penned a letter to his love and signed it "from your Valentine." After his death Valentine became a martyr and saint and was popularly known as St Valentine.

Wonderful legends are woven around Valentine's Day. In Wales young people exchanged as gifts wooden spoons which were hand carved with decorations of hearts and key holes. The decorations conveyed "you hold the key to my heart or you unlock my heart." In other places women were given gifts of clothes and if they accepted the gift then it conveyed that they were wiling to marry the man who has sent the gift.

In 1415, Charles, the Duke of Orleans is known to have penned, from his prison in the tower of London , what were known as "poetical amorous addresses" to his wife in France, he is believed to be one of the earliest creators of valentines.

Just as companies like Hallmark sell cards for Valentines Day in the 15th century people bought little booklets with verse in them ---they then made their own valentines using the verse to express their thoughts. For example a valentine could have the hand drawn illustration of a knight and his lady with Cupid the god of love shooting arrows into the knight's heart.In the US it was after 1723, that popularity of the celebration grew. People imported the "booklets of verse" all the way from England and copied the verses on to gilt edged papers. Then a Ms. Ester Howard in around 1830 decided to be original and create American Valentines that were marketed as Worcester Valentines.

Since then with changing centuries and tastes the celebration has taken on new hues with young men and women, children, as well as older couples creating newer ways to celebrate and declare their undying love.

Nicene Creed Wikipedia

February 27th, 2009 raphael's helper No comments

nicene creed wikipedia
Nicene Creed?

Okay so... Can someone explain this? I looked it up on wikipedia and dont understand it.

When was this created? Why was it created? Who created it?

Where does its authority come from?
How to catholics say only people that believe in the trinity are Christains if the trinity was created by man not god?

The Nicene Creed declared Jesus to be God. It was adopted by the minority of bishops who attended the Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E. In its original form, the Nicene Creed was clearly designed to combat the position of Arius, who claimed that Jesus was a created being and was thus subject to God.

The Nicene Creed did not get its authority from the Bible. The Bible NEVER said Jesus was God. At John 17:3, jesus said his Father, Jehovah, is "the only true God." Jesus and others referred to himself as God's Son, NOT God. For example, at John 10:36, Jesus called himself "the Son of God." 1 John 5:5 says of Jesus: "Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"

The Nicene Creed is based on the false thought that Jesus is God.

The trinity took on its full form years after the Nicene Creed was made public. As A Catholic Dictionary notes: “The third Person was asserted at a Council of Alexandria in 362 . . . and finally by the Council of Constantinople of 381.”

The trinity is NOT a Christian teaching.

Jesus said; "HASHEM your God-NOT Father"...
