[b:8599745896]Secret Santa makes NYC's season bright $100 handouts erase 'lost look' of the needy[/b:8599745896] By Nanci Hellmich USA TODAY NEW YORK -- There were lots of miracles on 34th Street this week, and one of them happened to James Frazier. The Macy's security guard, a new father at 19, was standing at his post at the famous intersection of Seventh Avenue and 34th Street when a gentleman with white hair and a gray beard handed Frazier a crisp $100 bill. Frazier looked dumbfounded at the money. ''Is he Santa Claus?'' he asked as the man disappeared into the crowd. ''I believe in Santa Claus. I grew out of it when I was 10, but now I believe in Santa Claus.'' The mystery man who doled out $100 bills all around Manhattan on Tuesday and Wednesday and will do it again today is a wealthy businessman from the Kansas City area who has been nicknamed Secret Santa in his hometown, where he has been doing this for 22 years. This year, he came to New York, where he thought his largess would offer some comfort to a wounded city. Secret Santa gave dozens of New Yorkers $100 each, others received several hundred dollars, and a few got $1,000 or more. At the end of three days, he'll have given away $25,000 of his own money. And then he's headed back to Kansas City, where he'll give away another $25,000 before Christmas. His goal in both cities: to find and help ''people who have that lost look in their eyes. There are certain people who are really in bad trouble, and they need a lift,'' he says. Once penniless and homeless himself, he knows that a little bit goes a long way with many people. ''You'd have thought I just gave them a million dollars.'' Many wealthy people across the country get into the Christmas spirit with generous, anonymous giving. They write checks to the Salvation Army, Catholic Relief Services or their favorite charities. But what makes Secret Santa unique is his direct approach, personally going into the streets to meet the people he helps. During his whirlwind New York visit, he gave $100 bills to homeless people on the street, to people in wheelchairs, and to young mothers with babies outside a social service agency. One woman, an epileptic, said she desperately needed the money because she was down to her last $100 and is going on disability. Another homeless man in a wheelchair said he had never received this much money ($200) from one person before, and he planned to share his windfall with his family. As Santa went about his work, he didn't wear a Santa costume but sported a red flannel shirt and a photographer's vest with lots of pockets for his cash. He alternated between a New York Police Department cap and Santa hat. For safety reasons, he was sometimes accompanied by two New York police officers. Santa has always been anonymous and wants to keep it that way. Only his wife, adult children and a few close friends know who he really is. He understands why people sometimes don't go to the government, churches or charities for assistance. ''It's very embarrassing for any person to have to ask for help. You feel like a failure, a loser. And when you lose your self-esteem, that's when you start losing hope,'' he says. [b:8599745896]Santa's meager boyhood[/b:8599745896] Santa speaks from experience. As he tells it, his own life story was colored by poverty. He was raised in a small town in Mississippi by his grandparents, who struggled to keep him fed and clothed. ''When the soles of my shoes wore out, my grandmother put cardboard in the bottom of them,'' he says. In late winter of 1971, Santa, then a young man, was working in the little town of Houston, Miss., as a door-to-door salesman. His company went out of business, and within a few days, Santa had no money for food, gas or the motel room he was renting. He also had no family to turn to for help. So he went to a local church, where he was told that the person in charge was gone for the day and to check back tomorrow. ''I was ashamed of being homeless. I was terribly embarrassed, and I didn't want anybody to know. I didn't go back.'' For eight days, he slept in his car, he says. He didn't have a nickel to his name and hadn't eaten for almost two days when he went to the Dixie Diner and ordered a big breakfast. He sipped his coffee until the crowd thinned out, then acted as if he had lost his wallet. ''I put on what I thought was an Academy Award performance. I fumbled around for my wallet. I got up and looked around the front door for it, and I looked around the stool I had been sitting on. I had this bewildered look on my face,'' Santa says. Then the owner of the diner, who also was the waiter and cook, came over near the stool where Santa had been sitting and picked up a $20 bill off the floor. ''Son, you must have dropped this,'' the diner owner said. ''It was like a fortune to me,'' Santa says. ''I said to myself, 'Thank you, Lord.' And my next thought was that 'I'd better go ahead and get out of here before the person who really dropped it comes back in.' '' He paid for the breakfast, left a tip, pushed his car to a gas station and headed west. On the way out of town, it dawned on him ''that maybe nobody had dropped the money at all -- maybe that fella just knew I was in trouble, and he helped me in a way that didn't embarrass me. I'd been praying for a few days before that, and right then I just made a little promise. I said, 'Lord, if ever you put me in a position to help other people, I will do it.' '' Within a year, he had packed all of his belongings into one suitcase and headed to Kansas City on a bus. He struggled for years to make a living. He got married and had children. ''I borrowed money to start a business and sweated blood to pay it back,'' but it failed, he says. A second business, however, was successful. It was 1979 when he made good on his promise to help those less fortunate. On a cold, snowy day around Christmas in Independence, Mo., he stopped at a drive-in and ordered a hamburger and soft drink. He gave the carhop a $50 bill and said, ''Keep the change.'' ''You're kidding,'' she said. ''No, ma'am, Merry Christmas,'' he said. She started sobbing and said, ''Sir, you have no idea what this means to me.'' It felt so wonderful that Santa went directly to the bank, got some more cash and started giving it away, he says. For a few years, he didn't tell a soul what he was doing, not even his wife and children. Now, his whole family is in on it, and he and his wife budget how much they can afford to give away. One year alone, he handed out $85,000. Over the past 22 years, he figures, he has given away hundreds of thousands of dollars. He says there are no tax breaks for the way he distributes his money. [b:8599745896]'He just hands them the cash'[/b:8599745896] Beverly Sheldon, executive director of the Community Services League in eastern Jackson County, Mo., a private social services agency, has helped Santa find needy people over the years, and she wishes everyone had his spirit of giving. ''He's very open-minded. He doesn't expect every family to look like the Cratchits, with perfect little children who have wonderful manners and love each other,'' she says. ''He doesn't say, 'Before I give you the cash, I want to know these things.' He just hands them the cash.'' Stacey Burke, a mother of four in Independence, met Secret Santa in 1998 when she had hit bottom. She wasn't able to work because she had a brain aneurysm; her husband was paralyzed in 1993 after he was beaten up. He lives in a nursing home. Burke and her children lived in a tent for a few weeks that year, but she still managed to send her kids to school. The Community Services League helped Burke rent a house, and the agency told Santa about her. He met her and gave her $4,000 and a Mother of the Year award. ''I was overwhelmed,'' she says. ''I bought my kids some Christmas presents and some new clothes. I paid some bills. I got some furniture I needed. I bought myself a vacuum cleaner. I fixed up my van with it. I gave my niece who was having a hard time $100. And I gave another family member and friend some money. I wanted to return the favor to someone else. I made every penny count.'' Santa says he has no rigid guidelines for who receives the money. He sometimes identifies a few people from social services agencies, police officers and firefighters, but much of the money he gives away to people he sees on the street, in diners, laundromats, pawnshops, fast-food chains and other places. ''It's easy to find people who are in need, because a laundromat or pawnshop is the last place they want to be on Christmas Eve,'' he says. It doesn't have to be a homeless person, he says. ''Sometimes it's people who have a job, but they are really struggling.'' Although he distributes money all year round, Christmas is his favorite time of year. Of the hundreds of people he has helped, a couple stand out in his mind: * He once walked into a house in Kansas City where a grandmother was struggling to raise 10 grandchildren. She had just called the kids downstairs to tell them there wasn't going to be a Christmas, when he arrived and gave them $3,000. * In 1999, he returned to Houston, Miss., and found the owner of the Dixie Diner who had given him $20. Santa said at the time that $20 seemed like $10,000 to him, so he gave the then-elderly gentleman whose wife was ailing $10,000. [b:8599745896]$5,000 for Saint Paul's Chapel[/b:8599745896] As Santa moved about the Big Apple on Tuesday and Wednesday, some people were skeptical when they received the $100 bills. Others were in a state of disbelief. One woman went up to a police officer and tried to give the money back. ''Is this real?'' asked Rose Ann Marina, 33, a mother who was strolling down 34th Street with her 9-month-old son, Christopher. ''It's incredible. No one has ever given me money before. I never even find money.'' She said she was going to use the money to buy her son a gift for Christmas. Santa dropped off $5,000 at Saint Paul's Chapel, which is feeding workers who are sifting through the debris at the World Trade Center site. It costs $3,500 a day for the 2,000 meals served at the church, says the Rev. Lyndon Harris. ''What a kind-hearted soul, what a generous soul,'' Harris says. ''It's Christmas at Ground Zero.'' Pamela Kramer, a 38-year-old homeless woman, literally jumped up and down with joy. She plans to use her $100 to start looking for an apartment. Billy Williams, 65, who is in a wheelchair, said his $200 was enough to carry him through the Christmas holidays. [b:8599745896]'An angel sent from God'[/b:8599745896] Sabra Freeman, 41, called Santa ''an angel sent from God.'' And her friend, Tempia Emanuel, 53, agreed, adding, ''I've never had anyone give me anything, and I've been working since I was 8 years old.'' After James Frazier, the young security guard from Macy's, received $100 from Santa, he got two Christmas cookies and took them to Santa, who was still handing out money on 34th Street. Santa isn't surprised by the incredible reactions he gets. ''It's something that never happened to them before,'' he says. ''It restores some faith in humanity.'' He believes in God and considers himself a very spiritual person. He doesn't want any fame for this. ''Accolades embarrass me,'' he says. But he hopes other people realize they can do something like this, too. ''They don't have to give away $100 bills,'' he says. ''They can just say thanks or leave a little extra tip or show their appreciation in a way that they don't ask for anything in return. There is a way to do this so a person doesn't feel embarrassed or that they are a charity case. ''I've lived the story, so I know it's definitely more blessed to give than receive, because it comes back to you many, many times over,'' he says. [b:8599745896]Now if that doesnt bring a smile to your face I dont know what would. Its people like him that make me proud to be apart of this nation, this country, and this world!!!!

WTF are you talking about? -XPerties

Whats warez? and I never visit porn sites....Your a sick man! shame on you! -XPerties

Heres the trick...technially you cant, thats what M$ says but if your like thousands of others....p*** on them. So this is what you do as far as your laptop. Install XP Home and when it goes and activates itself it may work, if not it will give you a choice to call in. Call the 800 number and some dumass will answer. Simply say "I installed XP on my PC and then I had a hard drive crash. I went and bought a new hard drive and also did another upgrade on my PC, Just got done installing it and it wont activate...why?" ...She will ask for the on screen display numbers and you read them to her/him. There will be about 50 numbers, in return she/he will read you a activation code which you will enter and then your done. Trust me its a pain in the a** and I feel that if you own the software you should be able to install it on any PC you own, regardless if you own 20 PC's. Now your home PC is no big deal. When you first activated it there was a numerical number that tells MS whats on your system. It doesnt say exzactly what type of hard ware but it will match anytime you reinstall XP on it. I have formatted and reinstall XP retail at least 4 times since Oct. 25 and have never had to call them for my main PC. Now several, if not dozen of people have install XP on a second PC and they didnt have to call in but it may happen and thats the simpliest thing to say to them. You wont have a promblem except spending your time talking to them. Good luck -XPerties

Yep got the same thing here to. Didnt realy think about it to much till you said something.I personaly like it tho, because Ive wanted to keep several copys on different drives. Hum...havent heard of any fixes...sorry but If i run across one ill pass it along. -XPerties

Yah I was just refering to a server like running a website...now if I went with a FTP full server than I would probaly put a 100 gig in. Just want to get some peoples option. -XPerties

[b:6d9c0835ea]Conan -[/b:6d9c0835ea] Yep sure did....Thanks alot bud. I really appreciate it. You every need anything let me know. -XPerties

Ok this is what I think I want to do or I think I should do....tell me your ideas or thoughts and possible how you have done it: Im getting a 1mb up and down line within the next 4 weeks. I have one PC now and Im looking to get a barebone MB and CPU. With my budget Im looking at a PIII 1ghz, on board vid and sound. 512 of ram and a 20 gig hard drive. Now I heard linux is the best so Im probaly going with that. Now the hardware Ive choosen, is this going to be ok for a server? And linux have promblems with any kinda hardware anyones aware of? Moving on, when I get this second PC how should I have it hooked up? Like a router or a gateways or what???? You guys know where iM headed with try to get this working so if Im missing something then let me know. Try to be able to set websites up on it and have a ftp 24/7. Do you think haveing the ftp would be easyier than trying to get a linux server for webhosting? Not having any expericance with linux keeping that in mind. Give me your thoughts as I dont want this 1mb up and down to go to waste. -XPerties

Uh yah sometimes they feel that way,other times Im just a pain in the a**. Just keep in mind that we all run other sites and love to share are experiance with others. Sometimes it takes longer tho....thats why we made this site. Not to mention its just a nice place to chat and hang out in your spare time. Take some time out and read the forums rules and if you use the search feature located on the main page youll find alot of post and other items that might be useful to you. Take care till next time -XPerties

The reason why you had to re-register is because we had a major promblem with our data base and lost alot of the newer members. Your post was probaly new and was wiped or didnt show up as new, so no-one could answer it. XP is far from new to alot of us. Myself have been using it for almost a year if not longer. Your question just sometimes takes time if one of us is busy. We also run other websites not only this one. -XPerties

If you ever have a promblem with XP first try to restore to a earlier date. This feture is great in XP. I wouldnt jump to nortan. Also if you boot from the CD you also have a fix XP feature. Keep those in mind. -XPerties

just a odd question but have you tried several other DVD? And is the drivers for the player from XP? -XPerties P.S. If it playes all other cd's its not the player. Its something to do with the software or the drivers. When a players goes bad its the entire player not just the feture of one item as susch DVD options.

[b:ca4f37e250]koala[/b:ca4f37e250] - First off do you think we all dont have lifes. We are all busy with other things and your dam post was only posted yesterday. You might look for patience in your free time. Also you got a smart a** responce because you started your 2nd post in that fashion. There isnt a question that has been asked that hasnt been solved or answered, but we dont sit on this board waiting for the next one to be asked. So I encourage you to relax and kick back. -XPerties
