Chrismukkah is a hybrid holiday - a festive mix of Hanukkah (Chanukah, Festival of Lights) and Christmas (X-mas, Yuletide, or the PC THE holidays). Chrismukkah is celebrated during the month of December and may last from 8 to 20 days, depending on one's staying power.Chrismukkah is a combination of intermingling traditions and rituals.
It is most often celebrated by interfaith families where one parent is Jewish and the other is Christian. However, Chrismukkah is by nature all-inclusive, poly-denominational, and trans-religious. Many supplement Chrismukah with a sprinkling of rituals from Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Animism, Atheism, Agnosticism, Cynicism, or Shaminism. Chrismukkah is tolerant. Saints and sinners, the naughty and the nice, may celebrate side-by-side without guilt or obligation.
All are invited to spin the mistletoe.
Best of all, Chrismukka lessens the pressure on interfaith families to make an ultimate choice between competing religious practices and beliefs.Last year the OC invented Chrismukkah and it was awesome. But something went deviating. Well, the spotlessness of Chrismukkah is finished. It has gone commercialized. If you didn't already know - you can buy your interfaith cards at Chrismukkah.com. Chrismukkah is selling a wide range of Christmas cards and gifts. According to MTV, there will be 2 new O.C. albums and one of them is Chrismukkah induced! Chrismukkah Album feature an indie-heavy list of bands, including the Killers, Death Cab for Cutie and Jimmy Eat World, reflecting executive producers Josh Schwartz and McG's less-than-mainstream musical tastes.Different opinion arises in the revelation of these changes. Some people find it misleading and some like it. Others say It seemed to be kind of grinchly to try to own something that was out in the public domain. Others are taking it positively and are enjoying the products.
Watch out for more of Chrismukkah products in the coming years!jona@graphicdesignsunlimited.com

Pictures are our captured moments. Whether unguarded or not, we keep these memories for a lifetime through well-printed photos. They’ll remind us of different events and emotions in our lives. Hopefully, iPhoto printing will reinforce our desire to keep our cherished memories because it will allow us to print our pictures and photo albums. According to the article posted on March 25, 2004 at Macinblog, photo and album printing have been activated in iPhoto for most European countries which allow users to turn their pictures into physical prints and photo albums for enjoyment away from the computer.
Originally available only for American, Canadian and Japanese users, this is really splendid news. iPhoto printing offers excellent quality prints. It's not as good as printing on your Canon on nice photo paper but it's also not inkjet printing. It’s much more like your standard four color printing processes and much more durable than an inkjet printing.
When you get your orders, you’ll realize how nice it really is and how well made it is.Upon ordering, make sure that the pictures are arranged the way you want it to look like. Also, be sure that the photos in the album are in the proper sequence before making the book. You must also plan on spending some time redoing the "auto" suggestions that iPhoto does for you. However, if it looks alright when you order it, it will surely arrive looking great and amazing.
There isn't much about layout control. Basically, you’ll get to choose between one and four photos per page. Remember, they don't always line up perfectly; sometimes they bleed, sometimes they don't. Anyway, it’s better for you to assemble complete pages in Photoshop first and import them into iPhoto after.We are glad to see Apple expanding its business more overseas and internationally. Its continuous effort to get round in doing something such as iPhoto books, processor bumps, etc. is remarkable.
We hope that all of us will enjoy iPhoto printing soon because it’s definitely a great service.jona@graphicdesignsunlimited.com

Technology has yet to reach its full potential and still, there is a promising future in fighting against crimes with the use of printers alone. With the unlimited possibility of the capabilities of every technology available on earth, laser printers are not logging behind. The future promises that laser printers can fight crimes. And it is a big possibility with the on going research in Purdue University.
This is a very big development on the laser printing industry in relation to a more precise method of tracking every document printers produce. It is not surprising that with the speed by which printers are improving, you can imagine that in the future, you will be able to print a driver’s license at home. Although it immensely reduces the time you spend in line waiting for your license at the DMV, one might start questioning the validity of such documents. How would the research resolve this?
With on going research, I am still impressed to know that every printing technology has the capacity to give identification. Although it may not be obvious, as was said, laser printers leave specific markings on each document they print. This is what they call the bonding process. The article also states that Purdue's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has pioneered a tracking system that uses banding to trace a document back to the printer from which it originated.
I look forward to this development and acclaim the people behind the research who will make this possible. I am also dreaming of having a faster acquisition of my documents but still I would not want to compromise my safety in exchange of it.jona@graphicdesignsunlimited.com

Nowadays, most educational institutions are putting more content online and with this the need for digital material to support that Web-based content is growing rapidly.
Dr. Ronny Richardson, of the Southern Polytechnic State University, Georgia has made a review of products that can be of use for teaching professionals. Two models of the Gateway cameras went under his close scrutiny to determine its individual merits.
First model to be examined was the Gateway DC-M42. This camera has a 4.1-megapixel resolution with an 11MB internal memory limiting the user to just 9 images storage at maximum resolution. You will need to either download the images or burn them to a CD since the unit do not have a memory card provided. The better model would be the DC-T50 which boasts of a 5-megapixel resolution selling at a very affordable price of $250. The DC-T50 has a 32 MB SD memory card included that can carry up to 12 images at maximum resolution. Both cameras can take great pictures at their highest resolutions but there is no doubt that the DC-T50 is the better choice taking into consideration their prices as well.
File Storage
Your camera stores information called EXIF data within each of your photographs. EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File: the file format used by most digital cameras. For example, when a typical camera is set to record a JPEG, it’s actually recording an EXIF file that uses JPEG compression to compress the photo data within the file. Data from and EXIF includes the file name, photo dimensions and size, exposure and ISO information, as well as camera brand and mode. To view said file you will need and EXIF Image Viewer. This is a free software and. It displays EXIF information for all JPEG files in a folder.
The digital age has brought about exciting new products and services that make digital imaging easy and user-friendly. Freeware and information are readily available on the web to help digital enthusiasts know more about new developments in the field of digital imaging.jona@graphicdesignsunlimited.com
