For some, such as Britney Spears' mother, who use church, fame and reputations for their children's future, it is definitely not easy for the likes of Britney to just break off this curse in her life. While many blame on Britney, which to say the least is not undeserving, but I blame mostly the mother who has a perversed sense of love for her children.
Dr. David McKinnon's 8 year labor, a job well done. Turning 2D photos into 3D, allowing for wireframes, texture and light analysis. Very impressive.
Those alliances will never work.
Because another case is not considered.
Let there be two groups:
1. A special muslim group hosted by Christians.
2. A special Christian group hosted by Muslims.
Which will be more successful?

I noticed lots of Chinese church leaders, especially those of China/Taiwanese background, and especially the smaller churches, love to stress the concept of "Everyone Must Serve in a church".
As "moral" as this may sound, I'm afraid it's a shortcut that should not have been taken.
For there is only one thing that is needful, and that is listening to the Word of God.
"...for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered." (Luke 11:52)
It is possible that I will attend this. A 6 hour conference on Calvin & Today's Chinese Churches on 8/1/2009, 10am-4pm. It is likely I will have ride from my church.
But in the event that I shall travel on my own, I will have to take either the Chinatown bus or Penn Station Train to Philadelphia, and transit to Bus 110 at 69th street Terminal, and be dropped at Concord Ave. which is just a couple minutes away from the church of venue.
I'm sure the Chinatown bus is cheaper than the $34 one way train fare. However, I need to confirm its earliest departure schedule.
Personally, I prefer taking public transportations to people's cars. It saves me a lot of time from garbage talks, money well spent.

I finally made my own lamb biryani. I'm more impressed with this compared to my curry mee. Will focus on Lentil Soup next.
I didn't follow the relevant amount of each ingredient, as it's not my habit for wanting to "explore" in learning.
Critics for improvement:
1. I used previously cooked lamb ribs from a "Esau's" Lentil Soup I was experimenting. May caused lesser taste.
2. Too much of one of the spices...perhaps. Can't make out which one. Turmeric, Garam Masala or Coriander.
3. Will use Basmati or similar Rice next time.

In the Chinese culture, there's a term for Match Maker, 月下老人 (old man under the moon). Which is derived from a Chinese mythology.
I have viewed match making as despicable since I could remember. I view match making as plainly unbiblical.
Why?
Because when someone tries to suggest a mate for me, I am always going to think to that person "how good is your OWN marriage?" or "you're not even married and you want me to get married?"
The same goes to those who boast about how the credit goes to them for someone else's marriage.

It's been almost two years since "the Last Lecture" was given by the late Randy Pausch (1960-2008), Computer Science professor of Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in VR (Virtual Reality), victim of pancreatic cancer, on 18th of September 2007. I finally found the time and interest to watch the lecture for the first time today.
My favorite part of the 1 hour 15 minutes "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" lecture was the part where he shared his ironic decline of admission application by Carnegie Mellon. He was so obnoxious that he dropped the rejection letter on the desk of his advisor (Andy van Dam) who so urged him to apply for graduate study at Carnegie Mellon and said: "I just want you to know what your letter of recommendation goes for at Carnegie Mellon"...
Overall, a very good encouragement those striving for campus life.
And here are some favorite quotes by Randy Pausch I've gathered:
"When you're screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they've given up on you."
"Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted."
" Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress. When you're pissed off at someone and you're angry at them, you just haven't given them enough time. Just give them a little more time and they almost always will impress you."
