I think the two red-eared sliders have entered brumation. Not as energetic, especially in food.

I think the two red-eared sliders have entered brumation. Not as energetic, especially in food.
The qualification is determined by God, not by men or self desire. Yesterday, I heard a guest pastor sharing about the condition of Christianity in China: very chaotic, self-proclaimed preachers without theological backgrounds, having financial or popularity motives, etc.
It is something we need to pray for. Nonetheless, by concluding that everyone should stay at their current working status unless obtained some church's support financially in order to prove God's calling, I think this pastor is not that smart, and he dared to brag about himself being formerly a lawyer.
Go get plaque finder. Coloring the plaque on teeth, making required flossing/brushing areas very visible.
The famous story of the 17 year old Rifqa Bary who ran away from her Muslim home claiming that she was running away from the "honor killing".
It is interesting to note how one uses the resources such as facebook to seek refuge.
After watching the video from CNN's site, the only problem I have is the Ameristian "way" of caring, as Pastor Lorenz (I think) constantly put his arms around her shoulders. It is not the liberal standard that I have issue with, it is how should we proceed to make her a strong Christian, is what I concern.
I thank God for such grand mercy, to allow the witnesses of Muslim converts in America. At the same time, I fear the people's wish to tempt God's mercy by putting emotions first may one day cost them or their next generations dearly.
Wild enough, I was asked by one client to prepare a TOEFL Testing Center in their location from scratch. I also would be administering the tests. Of course, I noted to them that it is preferrable that they find my replacement to avoid conflict of schedules.
Administering my first TOEFL testing right now, it's 2:02PM. The test is from 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM. Hope everything goes smoothly.
Boy, this is a bit like a short version of solitary training. I still have 2.5 hours to go. Sitting, typing, watching.
The funny part, or rather ironic part is, I am also responsible for checking their ID's and validating them. I could be gracious...as long as the rules are followed, technically.
Now they want to "attribute" their greed on Malaysians...or have they truly gone so oblivious about the fine line between the copyright patent and simply rightful claim that they have to LIE about it in their news? Laksa, Nasi Lemak, Chicken Rice are of Malaysian cuisine. As Christians, it it important to not fight like the West do with copyright/patent issues when one's ownership is jeopardized. What then if you prove your recognition by taking other's money? Is not standing to the truth enough?
Long lost brothers found each other at work. Either it's an amazing coincidence or these people just don't go out much. And if latter, that would explain some discrimination factor against outsiders.
A good non-stick pan is rather important especially for frying. Gordon mentioned "heavy" too.
Living in the world's most populous city made me very aware of waste management. So articles such as this impress me.
I prefer external AA or AAA battery mp3 players with built-in mic recording.
Thus far, I only know iriver T10 (1gb, 45+ hours, AA battery) and SanDisk Sansa m250 (2gb, 19 hours, AAA battery).
iriver's T10 seems to be hard to find now, interesting rarity for such a useful and popular brand.
If there are others, I shall add them to this entry.
