Sermon for October 26, 2013
Proper 25, Year C
Sirach 35: 12-17; Ps. 84: 1-6; 2 Timothy 4:6-8,16-18; Luke 18: 9-14
The Rev. Margot D. Critchfield
For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.
To be humbled or to be exalted, that is the question! We all understand the pitfalls of having too high an opinion of ourselves, but in a culture that nearly makes an idol of winning, getting ahead, and building our self-esteem, what does it mean to humble oneself?
Clearly, Jesus wants us to understand that the Pharisee in this parable lacks humility. This man exalts himself with self-aggrandizing prattle about his piety and practice, in what is thinly veiled as prayer. He is incapable of admitting to himself or God any shortcomings or sins he might bear. He is a stand-in for the crowd to whom Jesus is addressing himself, those who Luke tells us, "trust in themselves," while looking down their noses at others. The Pharisee and his ilk, we are told, will be humbled.
The tax collector on the other hand, is a stand-in for the sin-stained souls that Jesus has come to save. He is portrayed as a breast-beating sinner too filled with shame to even look heavenward, standing off to himself and prayerfully begging God for divine mercy. This man and his ilk, we are told, will be exalted.
Now my guess is that unlike Jesus' original hearers, Pharisees themselves who were meant to find this parable outrageously offensive and about as "in your face" as you could get, few of us are especially moved by it one way or another. It's just too much of a stretch for us to relate to either the Pharisee or the tax collector.
After all, the Pharisee–among the wealthiest and most respected members of Jewish society–was, for better or worse, a religious superhero by today's standards, strictly observing a fast twice a week, tithing at least 10% of his income to the temple, and praying multiple times in the course of the day, every day.
Few of us can lay claim to any one of those spiritual disciplines, much less all three.
As for the tax collector, while cast as presumably humble, he was among the most corrupt and despised groups in Jewish society, who prospered by colluding with the Roman oppressors, collecting exorbitant taxes from his neighbors, and extorting from them even more just to line his own pockets.
Neither man, it seems to me, can lay any claim to being justified or righteous. Sorry, Luke, but that, by definition, means being in right relationship with God, and neither man in this parable is in right relationship with God. The Pharisee is so puffed up with self-importance, and the tax-collector so beaten down with self-loathing, that neither man is right-sized.
What these men share in common is such an exaggerated sense of themselves that they are blind to God's grace. Because as long as they are self-identifying as excessively virtuous or morosely unworthy, neither man is being humble. To be humble is to be right-sized. To be humble is to accept the fact of our belovedness before God no matter who we are, or what we have done. It is to accept that God loves us, warts and all.
After all, the scandal of the gospel is that Jesus died for the Pharisee and for the tax-collector, as sure as he died for you and for me, our friends and our enemies, the sinners and the saints of the world and everyone in-between. We can not earn that love, or the promise of new life that it offers, by anything we do. It's pure grace. It's gift. And to be humble is to be learn to accept that gift.
To be humble is to live into the freedom for which God made us: the freedom to choose to love the Lord our God with all of our heart and all of our mind and all of our soul, and to choose to love our neighbors as ourselves, by choosing to live generously, creatively, and relationally. It's to be free from the bondage of self-centered fear that pinches and diminishes us and shrinks us in on ourselves. It's to embrace the freedom that lives expansively, inclusively, in ever-widening circles of community and compassion.
To be humble is to trust God, unlike those who Luke tells us, "trusted in themselves." It's to trust that there is method behind what sometimes seems like God's madness, to trust that God really does know a lot more than we do about how to do this thing called life, and to trust that if we follow God's perfect will even imperfectly, instead of following our own imperfect wills perfectly, He will indeed do more for us than we could ever ask or imagine. We will thrive, we will flourish, we will know the joy and peace of perfect freedom!
Finally, to be humble is to be grateful. It is to recognize that all is gift–that our very lives are contingent upon God's constancy; that if God were to hold God's metaphorical breath, all of creation would melt away like some special effect that dissolves before our eyes on our TV screens. It's to realize that the mystery we call God is so much bigger than anything we could ever get our heads around that we are like tiny amoeba in comparison–yet we are amoeba created by this mystery we call God in God's image — and that means created by Love, with love, for love.
To be humble is to appreciate the achingly heartbreaking beauty and fragility of life, and to feel one's heart overflow with gratitude for the gift of experiencing it. It's to gather at God's table to meet Christ in the bread and the wine and to delight with surprise when we discover him in the squirming child kneeling next to us. It's to, "Give to the Most High as He has given to you, and as generously as you can afford," saying, "Thank you, God" all the while, and saying it with joy.
To be humble, plain and simple, is to love and be loved by God.
A Pharisee and a tax collector went up to the temple to pray. The Pharisee was filled with self-righteousness. The tax collector was filled with self-loathing. Neither had room to accommodate God's grace and love.
But imagine if they did. Imagine that these two men reached out to each other, despite their differences, and embraced. Imagine they realized in that embrace, that they were embracing God's grace. And imagine that then together, in humble gratitude, they exalted God – exalted God by the way they lived their lives and by the choices they made for God's sake.
What a different story Luke would have had to tell then!
May we make that story our story, as we choose to live ever more generously, creatively, and relationally into the freedom for which God has made us. Amen.

OpenStreetMap is an open source tool that allows people to contribute in detail to online maps used for accurately mapping out the world. In OpenStreetMap anyone with a computer can become a contributor for the project, marking and
labelling all roads and paths, as well as all buildings, various land types, and waterways, on an aerial view map, which is made up of a number of different sources. OSM is a unique project as it created from user generated content, and unlike Google maps, OSM maps are far more detailed in terms of urbanisation and infrastructure, as Google maps only displays roads. This level of detail in online maps allows for a new-found level of accuracy in location for tourists and even emergency services. Another major benefit of OpenStreetMap is that the users are constantly updating, perfecting and reviewing the work of others. This, for the most part, means that the maps are accurate and have approval from one or more validators that the map accurately displays any area in the world.
As part of my Digital Humanities module we chose between two options of how we were to use OSM, in terms of purpose. The first option included; adding 100 features to the map of your local neighbourhood as well as correcting 10 features already on the map. Option two took a different approach to using OSM as we were to complete humanitarian tasks. In Humanitarian OSM Tasking, you choose from a list of options of areas and regions in the world that need maps completed (generally speaking these areas would of poor wealth status), or validated if a humanitarian crisis or emergency has occurred in that area. These areas were divided up into smaller land masses called 'tiles'. The tile would show a square around a part of land within the area of emergency and we were to complete three tiles and validate one tile with this option.
I felt that the second option of completing a task for Humanitarian OSM Tasking would be far more beneficial and productive than option one of completing your local area on the OSM map, as most areas in Ireland are completed and were not in a state of emergency. Because of this, I chose to complete option two as part of my Digital Humanities assignment. Two of the tiles I completed were in the same area of Georgetown in Guyana, the third tile was near the city of San Isidro in Nicaragua, and the tile I validated was just north of San Isidro, again in Nicaragua. Since this was my first time using OSM, it was recommended that I use ID Editor for editing the maps. Although I had never previously used OSM, I found that editing the maps was extremely easy to do, largely due to the basic and comprehensible interface of the program. Within the window of the area you were editing, there were three shortcuts: line, point, and area which you could use to mark in any feature of the land on your chosen tile. Fortunately, I found this aspect of using OSM to be simple to use and understand.
The areas that were made available for the humanitarian tasks were both in areas and countries I
had not previously visited, because of this I did not feel very confident that I knew what I was marking in at times. For example, at one point I had marked a minor road over a dark line through my tile in Georgetown, only to discover that it was in fact a canal when I inspected the surrounding tiles and Google maps. Because of these little mistakes that I made throughout my experience of using OSM, I understand that there would be many more OSM contributors out there that would make similar mistakes while marking in features on the map. To minimize the chances of these mistakes occurring, I found it helpful to have Google maps and the editor side-by-side on a split screen for accuracy, as the OSM aerial view became quite grainy when you zoomed in on the map. While editing the maps I had marked in different types of roads, waterways and buildings. Although I found marking in houses and buildings to be quite tedious, I found the overall experience of the mapping to be rewarding and I think I have a better understanding of how to identify different road and water features from aerial view for future mapping.
What I found most interesting about my experience with OSM was that it was a collaborative process. Even though a tile is locked by a user once they began editing, allowing the user to have sole access to the tile during the editing period, the tiles are always being validated by other users once editing is finished. This means that no matter what is done on the OSM, there are others there to help contribute, validate and correct your work if needs be. As OSM is a user-generated tool, anyone including people with very little to no knowledge of certain areas (including myself) can contribute to the maps. For me, knowing that more than one person will work on these maps to improve accuracy and remove any mistakes is reassuring and counteracts the distrust some people may feel towards user-generated content. I believe that all user-generated content based apps and projects should all have some form group work and collaboration, so that the chance of publishing inaccurate or incorrect information on-line is kept to a minimum.
Overall, I would say that completing and validating the tiles on the OSM Tasking Manager was a valuable learning experience in terms of understanding what we can do to help and contribute to the world around us by just using simple technologies and apps from the comfort of our own homes.

Hood River Outrigger Canoe Club
The Change: Seat 3 will usually call the change with a strong HUT at the top of the stroke, just as your blade hits the water. Two strokes later the crew will change sides of paddling and enter the water at exactly the same time. Make sure your first four strokes are hard and powerful after each and every change.
Timing: Timing is the most important component to this sport for speed and glide! Your paddle and your body motion should exactly match the timing and body movement of the crew members in front of you.
Huli: This is when the canoe flips upside down. Every seat has a responsibility to get the canoe up right. Seat 1 collects paddles, Seat 2 and 4 climb over the hull, grab the Iakus and to pull the hull back upright , gently setting the Ama back into the water. Seat 6 counts heads and assists where needed. One person gets in to start bailing water followed by the rest of the crew. Climb into the canoe from the Ama side only.
Kahi: This means "cut" in Hawaiian. It is a stroke technique that is used to move one end of the canoe sideways or quickly turn the canoe. You reach out your paddle far to the side, put your blade into the water and pull the canoe towards your blade, pushing the water UNDER the canoe.
Uni: Seat 1 pokes the paddle at an angle against the right side of the canoe to move the bow of the canoe to the left in a buoy or fast turn. Seat 2 kahis at same time.
Race Start: The steers in seat six will call out, "READY SET HIT!" Your paddle hits the water in a strong stroke right on HIT. Strong, clean first strokes building to level 3 for 4 power tens.
Level 1 paddling: a casual, slow paddle, used in warm up, technique practice and long endurance training to enhance muscle memory of correct technique.
Level 2 paddling: a strong, fast ,smooth paddle that you can continue for a long period.
Level 3 paddling: your top race speed and power maintaining good technique and timing. Giving it your ALL!!!
"Two Up": Power up the stroke to a level 3 for 2 sets of 10.
"Four Up": Power up the stroke to a level 3 for 4 sets of 10
REMINDER: We are all here to have fun in our beautiful and ever changing Columbia Gorge. Outrigger paddling is a wonderful experience when you finally get your stroke technique down and understand how a crew works together. Once you experience the incredible and elusive glide of a well timed, in sync boat, you will be hooked!
NOTE: this vocabulary list is a work in progress and we are actively working on it throughout the season. Thanks for your patience!

Blog Every Day August Day 16
I would need to play the lottery.. I used too and I have won…. $1200.. Yes.. my mother and I used the most picked numbers and won $1200.. hahahaha we put a pool in.
But If I were to win a lot of money.. I would just pay my debts, my friend's debts and donate some to charity. I have no need for more than my house. I would renovate the whole house!! I would have a kick arse shed.
I could buy back my mother's farm. That would make her happy and we could afford to get farm help. She couldn't manage the whole thing on her own. I think it still kills her not to have her land
A house keeper for new renovated house and maybe go back to my old job of flying people around. That was almost less stressful than my current job. (Almost)
I'm pretty boring really.. I have the need to work, so I have no plans to give up working.. it would be lovely to work because I wish to and not because I want to.

"Every failure, obstacle or hardship is an opportunity in disguise. Success in many cases is failure turned inside out. The greatest pollution problem we face today is negativity. Eliminate the negative attitude and believe you can do anything. Replace 'if I can, I hope, maybe' with 'I can, I will, I must.'" -Mary Kay Ash
Hello, my name is Katie Berger, and I am a junior at Frisco High School studying journalism as a member of the Independent Study and Mentorship program. Outside of ISM, I am a Lieutenant on the Frisco Stars Dance Team, a member of National Honors Society, an avid Harry Potter fan, a health nut, and most importantly, a passionate writer. I have had a love of reading and writing since my elementary school years; I remember reading as many fantasy and fiction novels as I could and always looking forward to writing essays in my English classes. This has remained consistent throughout high school, and I am now ready to pursue my passion into college and the professional world.
My mission statement for my ISM journey is as follows:
Through the Independent Study and Mentorship program, I aim to develop my writing, reporting, and analysis skills through experience in the professional world of journalism. Under the guidance of my mentor, I hope to push myself out of my comfort zone in my writing, expand my knowledge as to what a professional career in journalism entails, and open my mind to new perspectives on the world around me, all for the purpose of acquiring the skills necessary to obtain a job as a successful journalist.
My goals in ISM;
- I will have a mentor before I leave on Thanksgiving break, as well as have scheduled weekly times for mentor visits.
- I will have a rough outline of my plan for my original work by the end of October.
- I will write on my own, outside of school, at least twice a week to practice improving my writing skills.
- I will begin following online news sources and keep up with what's going on in the country in order to stay up to date on what people in the journalism community are writing about.
ISM is an incredible opportunity, and I feel blessed to be able to learn more about what I love in a hands-on fashion. I hope you enjoy following me on my ISM journey!

[NOTE: This entry was written earlier last week]
So not only am I still (kind of) having my exchange student days... but a guy that I kind of had gotten my hopes up for, recently announced that he "may have a girl"...
BAM, just like that. My hopes were scattered..
Sometimes boys just confuse me..
I just can't seem to figure out what is going on up there.. and even if I learn from my mistakes, I won't be prepared for the next! They're all so different!
Yet, it somehow seem possible for me to group 90% of the guys I know (At least the ones that causes trouble) - And I want to share with you my thoughts on them. Who knows, maybe we could share some tips on how to handle them?
[Please note that I kind of mean this as a joke, kind of not. I AM being serious about these... but there are good guys out there too and they deserve credit!]
Here it goes! There is...
The Good Friend
One day they will be your best friend. They will do anything possible to make you happy, and you will be happy. They'll give you the attention you want. They'll laugh at your little mistakes, your bad sides. They won't judge you on your weird nerdy sides, but instead share something embarrassing about themselves. They will hug you if you are sad. They'll punch you if you're annoying. They'll smile with you when you're happy. They'll have tickle fights (And let you win). They'll make fun of you, but make sure that you know they're just joking. They won't cause drama like your girl friends. They'll truly be your best friend.
But the next day they will refuse to speak to you. They won't answer your texts. They'll ignore you on Facebook. They'll not show up at the parties you both were invited to. They will act as if they had never met you, and that all evidence of the two of you being friends have disappeared from Earth's surface.
If this happens, they probably had a unrequited crush on you (you have unintentionally friendzoned them LOOOONG time ago). Heck, you might not even have known. Now.. why would they simply give up your friendship just like that? Because they, in the first place, only became your friend in order to charm you. Yeap, they had interest in you from the beginning. (I actually had a guy friend of mine tell me this. Horray for reliable sources!)
Perhaps this is one of the worst types you can meet. If you don't fancy them, it will simply end your friendship. Auch </3
The Fast-forwards
Tell you straight up that they love you.. and they do it in some of the most awkward ways too! Girls, don't take these people serious. If they can tell you this fast they they love you, LOVE you, they're wrong. You don't just love people. It takes time. They're probably desperate.. and see you as an easy victim in order to.. ahem. If you meet these, tell them straight up how you feel! Tell them off! Quickly! They need it the harsh way, or else... you've got yourself a new stalker. And trust me, those are harder to get rid of than you think.
The Good-looking-guy
He knows he's good-looking and he's using it big time. He can get pretty much any girl he wants, and he will take advantage of this. He'll pass you in the hallway and give you that "nod-of-recognition" and wink at you or smile whereafter your knees will soften and you'll fall to the ground while hyperventilating (No, this did not happen to me, but a friend of mine. Trust me, it's bad!). However, most of them will actually be singles when you meet them. (No wonder why). Some of them can be those good guys who just.. don't want a girl. They want the girl, and not those random girls who will love them just because of their looks. On the other side, they can be complete douches. Stay away from those! They will do you nothing but harm. This type of guy leads me on to the next category..
The Player
Basically an updated version of The Good-looking-guy. This guy is either rich or super good-looking (watch out!). And if you're a girl, going for one of these... because of his money.. remember this. He's a player. P-L-A-Y-E-R! You shouldn't love people because of their money. That's just shameful, and you're pretty much giving your body away to a nasty old guy or something. Don't just let people buy you! Have some self-respect!
The good-looking players will be amazing. A guy like this will know exactly what to say to make you blush. He will remember every good compliment as well as he remembers the alphabet. He will, in most cases, succeed in getting whatever girl he wants. He will make her incredibly happy, and a week after she's out and he has a new victim. Yes I just said victim, because that's what those poor (or rather stupid) girls are. He's the player and you're his toy. Don't just let him play you like that! If you actually turn out to have fallen for one of these (and really want to be with him), there's only one thing to do. Play with him! you have to act all cute and stuff and let him do whatever... THEN you will ignore him for a little. Make him miss you (but don't do this too early. Make sure he actually likes you.. at least a little), and he will long for you. He'll probably tell you that he has never met a girl like you... or that "no girl has ever treated me like this". That is a good sign. You've left your mark - Now go get him! (Or leave him in order to make him pay for playing with so many other girls' hearts. the choice is yours).
The key is: Be different!
The Shy Guy
They may like you but they will never tell you. A good example of these would be... a LOT of guys at my first school here in America. They'd walk up to my host sister and ask who that blonde girl she always hung out with was... and tell HER how they liked me and what not (Or at least how they THOUGHT they liked me). But the problem is that they'd never come to me. They would never make an effort! Some (actually most) of them I had no idea who were as I had never had just one tiny chit-chat with them. I don't know if I'm really that scary-looking, or if they're just a bunch of scaredy-cats. But guys.. go up and speak to us! If you don't speak up and tell us what you want, we can't give you. Girls are not mind-readers (at least not always). SPEAK UP!
I'm a super shy person too. I don't tell people if I like them.. and I guess I ruined it for myself. The guy that I've recently been gawking over.. apparently liked me at some point.. but I never let it show. I never let him know, and thus, he moved on.
*Le sigh*
These are just a few of my little groupings that I can think of right now, I'm sure there are more. Also, don't take this post too seriously. I'm not trying to put guys in a bad light, I'm just sharing my experiences here.
Also, try to put yourself in the other person's place. We may not always be able to understand guys. To understand why getting out of the couch to manually turn on the TV can be so hard. How they can eat so much, yet never get fat. Or maybe how they can remove a spider just like that.. without st.....
That just reminded me of the spider sitting in the corner of my room a few seconds ago... WHERE THE HECK IS IT NOW?!?!?
My point is that we may not always understand them, but I'm SURE they will the same way. Girls are weird creatures. I would love to read a males version of this post...
But for now, I shall take my leave and slowly move to my bed so that big black spider won't get me... O___O

Hey Everyone!! I am about to go join the boys on the couch to watch Harry Potter. The kids are sooo cute and young in this movie. I LOVE Harry Potter and could watch the movies a million times . I can't believe how small the kids were! Today I spruced up Cult Nails Untamed with some stamping.
I used Bundle Monster plate BM-317 for the stamping pattern.
I used the circle of hearts pattern top center. The only complaint I have about this pattern is that my nails were too small for the whole pattern. I really would love that whole pattern on my nails. It is really cute.
I used Sinful Colors Ardoise from their recent Haute Rebel collection for the stamping.
I loved this combination and I love the pattern. Ardoise was dark but not as harsh as a black stamp would have been.
Here is a quick shot of my nubbins. The pattern barely fit on them at all.
I must say that as much as I love Cult Nails polishes Untamed is not my thing. I thought bubble gum pink was cute but it drove me crazy having it on my nails. Even df asked me WHY I was wearing pink lol
The first day with Untamed alone I was quite bothered by the color but with the stamping it wasn't as bad. I will say this polish is great formula and application wise so the polish is totally not at fault that I can't handle the color. I really really wanted to love it on me but I just don't. I do love it in the bottle and on others though lol
That's all for now :)

It's no secret MERS is setting up to go well beyond assignments, affidavits etc and begin housing e-NOTES as well as your digital signature. LOL…what a mess.
Boston Business Journal-
Seeking to have the remaining civil charges against them dismissed, five large national mortgage lenders and the Mortgage Electronic Registration System confronted state prosecutors in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston on Monday afternoon.
Prosecutors during a hearing argued that lenders Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citibank and GMAC Mortgage, as well as MERS, should face state civil charges that they initiated foreclosures without actually holding the mortgages in question and that they corrupted land records by using MERS. Those charges were originally brought by state Attorney General Martha Coakley last December.

Change in Integrated MBA entrance dates at Utkal varsity sparks protests
Bhubaneswar: Tension ran high inside the Utkal University campus in Bhubaneswar today when around 35 Integrated MBA aspirants along with their guardians staged a protest before the business administration department against the conduct of unscheduled entrance examination for the course a day ahead of the dates of exam mentioned in some admit cards.
According to sources, a total of 312 students had applied for the five-year Integrated MBA course at the varsity and the entrance examination was scheduled to be held today. Even few of them had downloaded the admit card with the date mentioned May 15, 2018.
However, these students, after reaching the university to appear the exam today, found that the entrance was already conducted a day before.
They alleged that the department conducted the entrance test yesterday on May 14 without informing them and a few of total applicants only appeared the test yesterday.
"We think there is some scam going on in the admission procedure. Although the university authorities took our admit cards and assured us that necessary steps will be taken, we doubt whether that will be done in a fair manner," said Ashok Mahapatra, a parent.
On the other hand, the varsity authorities have promised that they would conduct another examination for these 30 odd students and will notify them regarding this as soon as possible. This apart, the faculty of the department assured that the process will be fair and they will take proper care of the students' requirements.
Speaking to odishatv.in, admission committee member of the varsity Santosh Kumar Tripathy informed that they had notified about the change in dates of the entrance examination on the university website and the same was published on various newspapers as well.
"Unfortunately because of communication gap, few aspirants came here to appear the IMBA entrance today. Because of shortage of rooms due to entrance examinations of various departments we decided to conduct the test on May 14 but a few aspirants had already downloaded the admit card of May 15. Of the 312 students, 250 students appeared the test yesterday while out of remaining 62 aspirants 34 of them came to appear the test today," said Tripathy.
He further added, "Although we corrected the date on our website and published a notification in various newspapers, few of them who did not keep a track of our website missed it. But keeping students' interest in mind, the admission committee will take necessary steps in this direction."
A few guardians also expressed dissatisfaction questioning the steps taken by the department.
"We had checked the website yesterday, there was no such notification, neither we received any mail regarding the dates being preponed. We want all 312 students to appear the test, including those who had appeared the test yesterday. They should also appear and that will ensure a fair and unbiased test for an entry into the course," said Abinash, brother of another aspirant.

The first draft of my short story is going very well. For more on the why of doing a short story between two novels, check this blog post on my "other" blog.
Besides the characters, the short story and Screwing Up Time share a plot feature, the tapestry that hangs in Miranda's chamber. While Miranda's tapestry exists only in my imagination, it was influenced by real tapestries that I saw at The Cloisters, which is a museum in Northern Manhattan dedicated to the art and architecture of Medieval Europe. And it's actually built like a medieval cloister. (If you're ever in NYC, visit! It's amazing to find a place of quiet and serenity deep in Manhattan.)
Of the three thousand pieces of artwork, some of the most prized exhibits are the Unicorn Tapestries. Click the link here to see the six tapestries. They might even be familiar to you—the tapestries are so popular that they show up on notecards, etc. These tapestries inspired the tapestry on the wall of Miranda's bedroom, which hid something of great significance to the novel. And the tapestry will play a small role in the short story. Though not because of what tapestry hides, but because of the story it tells.

Finding comfort in Mandarin Palace!! Was extremely sad and frustrated the other day so I suggested we have lunch here after Church.
Mommy and I usually just "Shabu-Shabu" but this time, I also ordered HAKAW (148) and BEANCURD ROLL (108).
Prices are higher now but not complaining because the Hakaw tastes better now. The beancurd roll tastes the same, it not super good but not bad either.
Back to Hakaw.. I liked that the wrapper wasn't that thick and chewy anymore and the shrimp inside, OMG!!! They added more!!! And with those 4 yummy shrimp dumplings, I found comfort!!

Mandarin Palace is one or if not the only authentic Chinese Seafood restaurant in the area of BF Homes Paranaque. You can always see this place jam packed during peak hours even though the place is so big.
One rainy evening while looking for a place to eat I remember this place. Thinking of a shabu-shabu night but while browsing the menu the congee caught our attention. So we settled for a bowl of congees and dimsum. I got the Seafood special congee and it was so good especially on that rainy night. Love the generous scallops and other seafood toppings. Felt like home. For the dimsum we got the kutchay dumplings and siomai. Love it!
Overall Mandarin Palace is definitely our go to place for a delicious Chinese dishes.

Service was efficient. I really liked their oysters, they were so delicious. The yang chow fried rice was surprisingly good as well.
Didn't like the salt and pepper spare ribs, i feel like it lacked flavor.
The shrimp salad was good as it did not taste too much like mayonnaise.
Dimsum were okay but not too great.
Overall I enjoyed the dining experience here.

Browsing through the reviews Ruth S holds the record for having visited Mandarin Palace the most. We love this place but sadly their price have increased exponentially since our last visit. We were seated in the coach area. The place was bright but the walls were dirty, watermarks all over. For starters - we ordered the Prawn Hakaw and Pork and Shrimp Siomai. Prices are moderate for the dimsum. Very tasty and the chili sauce is hot and complimented the big prawns of the Hakaw.
Since we were only three, we ordered the small orders of the Buttered Chicken - bone in chicken batter fried and drenched in butter with lots of minced red onions and garlic. Juicy and buttery good. Be careful with those annoying little bones though. Broccolli in Garlic - beautifully presented. We can eat this just with the rice! The vegetable still has a little crunch. And the Shrimp and Green Peas Fried Rice - jam packed with shrimps, green peas and scrambled egg! A meal in itself. The seniors noticed that the food that night was not salty at all.
Service was fast but a little too friendly. When i told them that ill take pictures of the food. I can feel them gawking at my back looking at how i do it. LOL. Overall, we love it here. A BF staple. Recommended.

When in BF and we're craving for Chinese food, we always go to this place. It's value for money because food is good, servings are big and prices are reasonable.
Went here after Sunday Church last month and the place was packed! We were seated in a private room but it was kinda small for the round table inside. It felt cramped! Service was a little crappy that night too - super hard to call the attention of the servers, food was served after x numbers of followups.
Anyhow, we got the following ---
> Taosi Spareribs - my ultimate favorite dimsum! Tender, juicy, salty chunks of pork! Best when smothered with toyomansi with lots of chili oil!!!
> Siomai - tasty little pieces!
> Boneless Chicken with Lemon (450Php - M) - chicken fillet with crunchy breading, tender chicken meat, generously drizzled with a tangy lemon sauce!
> Salt and Pepper Spareribs (480Php - M) - another Chinese comfort food favorite of ours! For 480Php, you'll get a lot! The saltiness was just right and this goes well with our favorite Chinese food dip - toyomansi!!
> I also requested for garlic butter shrimps and asked them to peel off the skin already. I was expecting the usual shrimps sautéed in butter with lots of garlic. What they served was pretty weird lol They made a thick sauce, obviously with flour, and butter and there was a mild touch of garlic. The shrimps were cooked just right though but overall, the dish was bland.
> Yangchow Fried Rice - who doesn't like this rice? Tell me?!? lol it's just so good! Lots of shrimps, meat chunks, veggies and egg! It's a must when we're in a Chinese Resto.
Overall, it was a good experience with the food as the highlight. This place can get really noisy when packed and servers tend to get confused a lot too.

Due to the limited food options in our cafeteria, I had a very light lunch which made me look forward to dinner. For dinner, my girlfriend and I went to BF and when we passed by Mandarin, we realized that we were craving for some dimsum.
The dimsums served in this restaurant are usually priced at 88 PHP, and some are priced a bit higher than that. We ordered 6 sets: Prawn Hakaw, Shark's Fin Siomai, Siao Long Pao (prepared after we ordered), Cutchay Scallop Dumpling, Spareribs with Taosi, Chicken Feet. On top of the dimsums, we also ordered a small set of jellyfish with century egg worth 200 Php.
Dimsum Judgment:
Prawn hakaw: wrapper was too thick, generous amount of shrimp inside
Shark's Fin Siomai: Did not seem fresh, which is surprising since this is a very busy restaurant. A bit too dry.
Siao Long Pao: had high hopes for this one but was disappointed. Had a problem with the wrapper as well. Thick but was quite fragile, broke apart when I lifted it.
Cutchay Scallop Dumpling: it was fine. No strong feelings about this one.
Spareribs with Taosi: Would have been perfect but half of the dish was mainly fat. The meat was lacking.
Chicken Feet: Great! Wasn't overcooked and was very tasty. Bone was not breaking apart when I was eating it.
I liked their tea very much. Asked for cold tea, but it wasn't available and so they just gave us glasses of ice. The waitresses were very attentive. I was a bit worried that service would be slow to react in our section of the restaurant because we were situated at the side. Apparently I had nothing to worry about.
That's it. Take care everyone!

Back here again but I am not complaining because we finally tried something else aside from the usual!! Yayyy to trying new thing!!
Ordered two types of dimsum: shark's fin & beancurd roll. Then Yang Chow Fried rice (of course) and tried the Sauteed Fish Fillet w Broccoli.
Beancurd roll was surprisingly good and siksik. Mommy liked it and orderin daw namin uli next time! The Fish dish was just okay. Sautéed cream dory fillet and crunchy broccoli w their "special sauce". Serving size was generous, around 8-10 pcs of huge fish fillet w lots of broccoli. In terms of price and size, it is very very sulit. But in terms of the taste of the dish, it was just ordinary, usual fish dish, nothing extraordinarily special.

And yes, we are back again! Because of my mom's unending and undying love for Mandarin Palace, naniniwala na ako na may forever!!!!!
Currently, she is obsessed with their fried lumpiang shanghai. Can't blame her because it's really good!! The filling is siksik and we love it's taste. 🏼 Since serving size is really big, we just ordered that + rice and a soup. The small size is already good for 3 at most 4 (not so hungry) human beings.
Orders: Yang Chow Fried Rice (250), Fried Lumpiang Shanghai (250), and Shrimp Wanton Noodle Soup (120) + 10% Service Charge.
Instead of ordering the usual soup (like corn and crab soup), we got the shrimp wanton noodle soup because it's very sulit and we just want something hot to warm out tummies. For just 120 pesos, you get a huge bowl of hot noodle soup with 5 pcs of siomai!! Sobrang sulit, diba diba? 🏼
The serving size of the yang chow varies. I guess it depends on the number of orders? There are times when it's a lot like really A LOT (that you have to ask the servers if it's really just the "small" serving size) and there are times that it's just okay, enough lang. It nice though that no matter how generous (or not) the serving is, the toppings (shrimp, asado, egg, onions, etc.) are still very generous. I specifically enjoyed it more now because it's tastier and yummier. Or I was just really hungry?
Another thing is, since you have to wait for around 15-20mins for your orders, it's nice that they give free hot tea and the pickled veggies. Pangtawid gutom while waiting. We love their hot tea and the pickled vegetables were so addicting!! I always ask for a refill!!
For this particular visit, service was nice. Our server, Yen (a trainee) was super nice, friendly, fast, and attentive. Thank you!!

Celebrated valentine's day w mommy here at Mandarin. Right after church, we went straight here for lunch. I was planning to eat somewhere else, somewhere extra special but mommy was really looking forward to eating here. AGAIN. For the nth time.
After n times of eating here, I think I'm beginning to develop this love/hate relationship w Chinese food. I hate it because I've been eating it almost every week but when I see dimsum, I just can't help but be in love with it. Hay, the struggle is real.
We decided to try different types of dimsum. But I still like their Hakaw. Huge juicy shrimps! Not the best hakaw but I like the fact that they're very generous with the amount of shrimp they add inside. The other dimsum were just okay. It would have been better if the dimsum were still hot as some of the items were not that hot anymore.
Service was just okay. The staffs were extra "snob" during our visit. Also, with the amount of money they're earning, I think it's time to renovate the place (especially the restroom). Repaint the walls, clean (as in really clean) the whole place. Do something to make it bright and clean.

Was still a bit sick yesterday, so got some takeout chinese food! Yeya. They packed our orders in these very simple and transparent ... Plastic containers. Haha i don't think take out presentation should be focused on much as well.
Anyway, got ourselves some shrimp wonton noodles, fish fillet congee, and some hakaw. The reason we ordered a lot for just two people: prices were very reasonable. Pegged them as an "at least 250 pesos per order" type of restaurant. So when i was wrong, bam, overforecast.l (or underconsumption, whichever you guys prefer).
Hakaw was a bit gummy but still very good, and they were generous with the shrimp in them. Tip for the fish fillet congee, if you let it set for a while and you're going to share with a partner, do not just pour the contents in another bowl (to split) because all the fish fillets will be at the bottom. I found this out the "hard" way because i got all the fillets and only "realized" mid-eating that i had all of them. Well at least that was my press release. Hehe (go density!) Finally, the shrimp wonton noodles were good as well. :) i should've heated it first before eating but was too eager. My bad.
Anyway, that's it everyone. Take care! :)
Am reviewing because i can only have one meal today. Haha

Celebrating Chinese New Year at our favorite Chinese restaurant.
When mommy asked where we'll eat for CNY, it wasn't really a question but it's her way of saying, "Sa Mandarin tayo kakain." And this time, no protest from me. Been dying to eat dimsum and it's the best time to enjoy it!!
Whenever I see the dimsum girl going around w the dimsum cart, I just can't help but look at the available dimsum and appreciate their beauty!! and then I end up wanting to eat them. Mommy might have seen the look on my face that she asked for Hakaw and Shark's Fin. Thank you, Mommy!!
I'm already happy with my dimsum that I didn't ordered anything else. Mommy also ordered fried lumpiang shanghai and shrimp wanton noodle soup.
Hakaw (128)
- Shrimp dumplings will forever make me happy. These are good but would have been better if the wrapper wasn't that thick but the shrimp inside were juicy and of course, veryy yummy! 🏼
Shark's Fin (88)
-more dimsum because one kind would never be enough!! this was just okay. The dumpling was heavy and siksik, though.
Shrimp Wanton (120)
- shrimp siomai overload!!! This was very tasty and comforting. Though originally good for one only, serving size was big w 4 pcs of siomai, best shared w someone. I prefer the shrimp siomai added here more than the shark's fin.
Fried Lumpiang Shanghai (250)
- this was surprisingly goooooood! First time trying their lumpia and it was very siksik, the wrapper was not too thick, and serving size was generous, as well. Mom loved this!! Pairs really well with the yang chow fried rice. 🏼
Mandarin Palace will forever be our forever favorite Chinese restaurant because of the following reasons:
1. Very good and yummy Chinese comfort food. They have everything you'll ever want in a Chinese restaurant. Like Fresh seafood, shabu-shabu, Peking Duck, Dimsum, and a lot more!! 🏼
2. Reasonable prices. With serving size as generous as theirs, you just can't help but feel like everything you buy here is sulit and worth spending for. When you order the right dishes, you'll end up having a good good deal!
3. Location. A Chinese restaurant inside BF? And along Aguirre Ave.? Yes please. Location is super accessible. Parking may be hard but come a bit earlier to ensure a good spot.
4. Hence, making it a good venue for Family gatherings, special occasions, or just any lunch or dinner or merienda or late night food trip. It may just look "mahal" but it is not. Haha.
For take out, we bought hopia and tikoy. The hopiang monggo is also good here. Try buying before you go! 🏼

Shabu-Shabu night w mommy and Ony because we were all not feeling well and anything hot would be a good cure. We wanted to try Sinigang (by Orange Whisk) but there were no parking space available. Luckily, when we passed by this area, there was one vacant parking spot for us! Thank you, Lord!!! 🏼🏼🏼
Instead of offering a Shabu-shabu set, they let you choose what you want – from the soup, to the vegetables, meat and dimsum. As in everything!!
For our very own shabu-shabu, we had the following:
Soup - Superior Soup (pork bone with corn, parang nilaga haha),
Meat – Sliced Beef and Sliced Chicken. Beef was really tender!!! 🏼
Dimsum & Etc. – Shrimp Dumplings (6pcs) and Fried Beancurd (8pcs).
Vegetable – Chinese Pechay and Cabbage
They provide you with the ingredients for your dipping sauce which is composed of – Chili, Satay Sauce, Peanut Butter, Onions, Garlic, Onion Leeks, and their special sauce. You can have them prepare your sauce (they just add everything together) or create your own. I suggest you create your own.
We added an order of a small Yang Chow fried rice for a complete heavy meal. We love their Yang Chow since serving size is very big and the toppings are very generous, you really get to enjoy a lot of shrimps! For 250 pesos, super sulit na talaga!
Service was just okay. Don't expect them to be really nice, friendly and accommodating since they have a lot of customers but if you ask for anything, they'll give it to you naman.

Sunday lunch date w mommy here at her 2nd favorite restaurant! Mommy wants pancit, siomai, and fried chicken so we ordered everything just for the two of us.
Shredded meat, carrots, and mushrooms on top of the crunchy noodles. This was good but I still like North Park's
This was also good. Huge juicy siomai with shrimp inside. I like that this is siksik with meat and shrimp and not with too much fat as extenders.
half order feels like a whole order already (only there's just one leg and wing) but serving size is really generous! chicken was fried well and very flavorful. Even better when you use ketchup instead of their gravy haha. Mommy really liked this one.
Service was good. Though they have a lot of trainees and they seem clueless most of the time when we ask questions but they really try to answer us naman. Service was fast and we enjoyed everything since our bill was just around 600. Very sulit! 🏼

I've only been here a couple of times and I always thought this place was too expensive since it's Chinese but going here and ordering take out with my girlfriend, I was surprised their portions were huge and meant for groups, the small is like good for 2-3 people and realized it's actually worth it, it isn't cheap but it's good for families. As I dined here again I had the Sweet and sour pork which is my favorite, it was splendid, crisp and just how I wanted it, the yang chow fried rice is perfect with it. I was really happy to eat here and be served these portions. If you've got a group or a family, outing here and eating is perfect on Sundays and enjoying great food with company, would love to come back anytime.

Our go to Chinese restaurant. Sundays are best spent with your loved ones + good good food. After hearing mass, mommy and I had lunch here. It's best to go here early since parking is very limited plus a lot of families are eating here. Always! So the place gets full quickly.
We tried the Peking Duck 2-way. Half order is 1000 (but since they have an on going promo, it's only for 680). It was just okay. Nothing extra special. I haven't tried Peking Duck before so I don't know where to compare it to. Plus, it was dry or it is supposed to be dry talaga? Next time, we'll just order dishes we really like!! Suahe, Fried Chicken, Yang Chow, Noodles, DIMSUM!!!, and Shabu-Shabu! 🏼
Mandarin Palace is a really good restaurant because they do not only offer good and tasty Chinese food, but they are also affordable. It's not that pricey, perfect for big families celebrating special occasions or just spending sunday together.

Mommy and I have been eating here many times already but we haven't tried their Shabu-Shabu. I'm not a fan of this type of "dish" so I don't have that much idea on how it works, the "must-knows", what's the best option to get etc etc. What I know is, usually they already have a set like if you want fish or meat. And it comes with veggies and all the other "ingredients" you'll be needing. A complete set! You don't have to think that much anymore.
But here, they give you a list of all the available ingredients and you choose what you want. From the base/soup, the meat (seafood, shrimp, fish, shells, beef, lamb, pork, chicken), meatballs (they have different kinds like fish, squid, fish cakes, crab sticks, beancurd etc.), dumplings (shrimp, beef, pork), noodles (like egg noodle, bihon, sotanghon), and different kinds of vegetables (cabbage, corn, tomato, beansprout, etc.). You have the option to get everything and as many as you want! 🏼
While waiting, they prepared the dip/sauce. There's garlic, onions, onion leeks, chili, peanut butter, satay sauce? Not sure with the dark/black/brown-ish sauce.
For our base, we had the superior soup (150). It's the basic/default soup. When this was served to us, it has 2 slices of corn and a huge piece of pork meat. Even without the prepared dip/sauce, the soup was already flavorful! 🏼
We ordered lots of leafy veggies because.. Fiber 2 full plates of lettuce (60) and cabbage (60) !!!!! 🏼 and we also ordered tomatoes (60), beancurd (60; 8 pcs fried/fresh), shrimp dumplings (150; 6pcs fried/fresh), sotanghon noodles (70), and one order of Maya Maya head (150). The fish was fresh and not malansa! For 150 we got 6 chunks! Sulit! The shrimp dumplings (150) was good and the shrimps are huge and juicy! 🏼
Since Mommy can't eat without rice most of the time, we ordered a small order of Yang Chow (250). If you like fried rice, their Yang Chow fried rice is loaded with toppings and it's good and tasty. And the small size is already good for sharing! Define sulit! 🏼
If all Shabu-Shabu are like this, I might be a "shabu-shabu fan" soon. Hot tasty soup with veggies!! Hello, Comfort foood!! 🏼
They have a 20% off promo from 9pm to 12mn. Perfect for late night comfort food hunting or foodtrip! Also, if you're a dimsum eating machine, they have 20% (or 25%) off promo in the afternoon. 🏼 (Please have a dimsum all you can promo pretty pretty please!! ). Also, they have an on going promo for the Peking Duck! 680 for Half and 1200++ for the Whole.
If you want Hopia and/or Mooncake, they have them, as well Their hopia are goood!!
Lastly, the place is ALWAYS full. Especially on Sundays. Parking space is also scarce! They have an allocated parking area but it's still not enough. So if you're planning to eat here, go a little earlier so you get to park near the resto unless you're willing to wait and/or walk far.

Be Real with Rebecca
Hey all! Rebecca here today with this month's edition of Be Real. My last few Be Real posts have focused on my current Project Life spreads. You can see the recent one HERE. This month I worked on Augusts pages. As I mentioned previously, I don't do a certain number of pages or a certain number of pictures. I just look back on the month in my phone photos and print what makes sense to me depending on the stories from the month that I want to tell.
There were some big stories from this month including back to school time! As always I got the add ons this month and used the 6×6 pads from those to create some cards. But I also used a few of the 12 x 12 papers too!
I used several embellishments too, like the washi strips, Amy Tangerine Cards, and Pink Fresh wooden clips.
Another big story from the month was our anniversary. I used a bow clip to attach some journaling on vellum onto the patterned paper strip.
Another story I wanted to tell (that was not a big event) was my foray into meal planning.
And last but not least documenting doughnuts is always a high priority lol!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
🙂 Rebecca

AFC Turvey win at Caldecote to top the Premier Division supported by Sportsform table.
Wednesday 27th August 2014 Premier Division supported by Sportsform
The result of the night belonged to newly promoted AFC Turvey who emerged 5-1 away winners at Wootton Blue Cross. Harry Ellis with a brace plus strikes from Adam Broughton, Andrew Latimer and Chris Winton netting the goals to bring up the nap hand against a lone home reply from Philip Matthews.
There was no such good fortune on the road for two of the other newly promoted clubs. Eastcotts AFC going down 3-1 at Sharnbrook where after Matt Atherton had given the home side a first half league, Jim Burnside and Atherton were to add to the home clubs tally before Ashley Drummond netted for the visitors. Whilst Sandy were beaten 2-1 at Shefford Town & Campton.

Preview for Saturday 6th September 2014
For the Premier Division supported by Sportsform league leaders AFC Turvey its the beginning of life at their new home base of Thurleigh Playing Fields when visited by Ickwell & Old Warden. Whilst it's home encounters also for the two clubs who trail them on goal difference only, Renhold United at their Playing Field headquarters receiving a visit from Pavenham for whom it will be the opening game of their campaign. Whilst Marston Shelton Rovers go into their own Playing Field action against Sandy.
Also still with a 100% record like the top three clubs albeit after just one game are Flitwick Town who travel to face still unbeaten Shefford Town & Campton at their new Hitchin Road complex. Whilst at Lodge Road, host Sharnbrook and visitors AFC Oakley M&DH both look to retain their seasons unbeaten ways.
Meantime depending on the result in midweek at Weston Park all four clubs in the other two games could be going in search of their first point/points of the season. At Sharnbrook Upper School, Eastcotts AFC receive a visit from Wilstead and at Hurst Grove, Lidlington United Sports who are involved in that midweek action at Weston Park face AFC Kempston Town & Bedford College.
Talking of Weston Park, that will be the venue at which Wootton Blue Cross go into home FA Vase action against South Midlands League Premier Division side Biggleswade United who in having progress two rounds in this seasons FA Cup will be no easy nut to crack.
In Division One its a start to the season for Elstow Abbey who travel to Rectory Road to be hosted by Shefford Town & Campton Reserves. Whilst for the second week running Marabese Ceramics are involved in the divisions game of the week when they travel to Crawley Road to face Cranfield United.
Also on the road for the second weekend running are Bedford SA who journey to Everton Playing Fields to be hosted by Great Barford and Henlow who are en route to Miller Road and a meeting with Meltis Albion.
Other action comes on the 3G surface at Hillgrounds where AFC Kempston Town & Bedford College Reserves host Sundon Park Rangers and at King George VI Playing Fields the new home base for AFC Oakley M&DH Reserves this season who receive a visit from AFC Harlington.
In Division Two, perhaps the game of the day on paper should be the Greenfield Road clash between hosts Westoning and the visitors Clapham Sports as both clubs started out with wins last weekend but you can depend that the locals will be out in force at Wootton Playing Fields for Wootton Village's home local derby clash with Marston Shelton Rovers Reserves. You would not put money on this game attracting a smaller attendance than the FA Vase action across the road at Weston Park.
Over at the Hockey Centre, Bedford United will be in home action against Moggerhanger United, whilst at the Warren, Elstow Abbey Reserves receive a visit from FC Houghton.
Over at Stevington Playing Fields home side Stevington will be looking for another home win when called upon by Kempston Hammers Sports, a remark that also applies at Miller Road where Meltis Albion Reserves play hosts to Kempston Con Club Sports.
Down at Cutler Hammer, Renhold United Reserves will be the visitors to face hosts Kempston Athletic and at Jubilee Playing Fields there will be the seeking of their first point/points of the season for both hosts Wilstead Reserves and visitors Caldecote Reserves.
In Division three its home action to kick off both Lea Sports PSG and Ickwell & Old Warden Reserves seasons. PSG at their Pirton Recreation ground headquarters hosting Caldecote U20 for whom its also a seasons start and on The Green, FC Serbia are the visitors to face Ickwell & Old Warden Reserves.
At the Sandy Academy, Mid Beds Tigers go into home action against Clifton Reserves and just down the road at Bedford Road Recreation ground the visitors to face Sandy Reserves are Dinamo Flitwick.
Other action comes at Horseshoes Close, the venue at which Moggerhanger United Reserves take on White Eagles and at the Bedford Academy where Atletico Europa host Cranfield United Reserves.

Everyone is confronted with trying to answer the questions of life within their own personal sphere. Questions such as "Who am I?", "Why am I here?", "Where am I going?" plague the minds of every individual born into this world. Many search throughout their entire lifetime for answers only to find their search fruitless, never coming to fully understand the meaning of life. The world offers many opportunities to promote man's search but the answers to life's questions can only be found in God's Word, the Bible.
"Who am I?" –
The Bible clearly states that every one born into this world is a CREATION of GOD. Adam, the first human, was created from the dust of the ground, and God "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life" and he became a living soul made in God's own image. David, the Psalmist wrote, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Marvelous are Thy works." The word of the LORD came to the Prophet Jeremiah, saying, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee." (Genesis 1:26-27 2:7; Psalm 139:14; Jeremiah 1:4-5)
The ANSWER to "Who am I?" is, I am a Creation of God, made in His image after His likeness, fashioned by the works of His hands.
"Why am I here?" –
In the Book of Revelation the Apostle John wrote of those he saw worshipping in Heaven "fall down before Him that sat on the Throne… saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy PLEASURE they are and were created." The Apostle Paul wrote to the Church at Corinth, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." (I Corinthians 10:31; Revelation 4:11)
The ANSWER to "Why am I here?" is, for God's pleasure He made me to glorify Him in all that I do.
"What am I to do?" –
Jesus tells us exactly what we are to do when He taught His disciples how to pray, "Our Father which art in heaven… Thy WILL be done in earth, as it is in Heaven." Further when asked what was the greatest commandment to be obeyed, Jesus answered, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." (Matthew 6:9-10; Mark 12:28-30)
The ANSWER to "What am I to do?" is, to do the Father's Will each and every day, obeying His commands and statues revealed in His Word.
How am I to live?
During Jesus' temptation in the wilderness He informed Satan, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." In His closing remarks in the Sermon on the Mount, He likened a wise man as one who builds his house upon a rock. Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone and the Rock of Salvation referred to in Scripture. (Matthew 4:4; 7:24; Ephesians 2:20)
The ANSWER to "How am I to live?" is, the source of the meaning of living life is found in the very words of God Himself found in His Word. By reading His Word and heeding what is written therein, you will live a life more abundant than ever thought possible.
"When will I leave this world?" –
We are forewarned in Hebrews 9:27, "It is appointed unto men once to die." The Psalmist David wrote, "The days of our years are threescore (60) years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore (80)… it is soon cut off, and we fly away. So teach us to number our days." David told his friend Jonathan, "Truly as the LORD liveth… there is but a step between me and death." (I Samuel 20:3; Psalm 90:10,12)
The ANSWER to "When will I leave this world?" is, at any time on any day God will call us to keep our appointment with Him.
"Where will I go?" –
Jesus told His disciples who believed He truly was the Son of God that He would be going to "prepare a place for you… that where I am, there ye may be also." In contrast, a place has also been prepared for the Devil and his angels, known as demons, to be "cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone… and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever" In addition, "whosoever was not found written in the book of life" will also be cast into the lake of fire. (Matthew 25:41; John 14:2-3; Revelation 19:20, 20:10,15)
The ANSWER to "Where will I go?" is, for those who have repented of their sin and trusted Christ as their Savior, Heaven awaits them. For those who reject Christ and His offer of salvation, the torment of Hell awaits them as they draw their last breath in this life.
"For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:13

Iran, ICTP Sign MoU
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran's Ministry of Science, Research and Technology inked a memorandum of understanding with the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), an international research institute based in Italy.
Iran's Minister of Science Reza Faraji Dana and ICTP Director Fernando Quevedo on Sunday signed the MoU as part of efforts to strengthen academic ties between the Iranian universities and the Italy-based institute.
During a ceremony to sign the MoU, Faraji Dana expressed the hope that the international institute would take advantage of Iran's potential for the improvement of science and technology across the region.
According to the agreement, which will be valid for five years, a center for regional cooperation will be established in Isfahan University of Technology, central Iran, in a bid to offer Iran's scientific and technological assistance to the other countries in the region.
The Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics is an international research institute for physical and mathematical sciences that operates under a tripartite agreement between the Italian government, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The center is located near the Italian city of Trieste. It was founded in 1964 by the renowned Pakistani theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate, Mohammad Abdus Salam.
The ICTP is a UNESCO category 1 institute, according to its official website.

Yesterday we were pretty lazy. We enjoyed a meal at Houlihan's because Chase had a free birthday meal. We both ordered our food medium, but it torned out well-done (not as in done well, but as in how it was cooked). We then played some putt-putt at a craptacular course. It was sorta fun. I did get one hole-in-one!
We just got back from the Duquoin State Fair where a friend of a friend got to be a hero. A lady had lost her adopted Chinese 6-year-old daughter, and our friend's friend found her. That lady went from terrified to super joyous. It was crazy. Only one fair worker would help this lady. The cops there wouldn't even help. It was pitiful. It really made me wonder just how many children get snatched from these things.
Well, the child was safe and we could again enjoy our fair-going experience. I had some mediocre $5 lemonade and a delicious cinnamon roll and then some funnel cake before heading home.

Hello, all! Happy Fragrance Day! Enjoy the fragrance of spring, which started yesterday. Or, perhaps, enjoy the fragrance of a good book, as some are wont to do. Or, perhaps even less fragrant, the nice scent of a computer screen, (mm, gigabytes), with these Words From The Hallway. :D Today's Words are in the category of Say What? My comments are in italics! Enjoy! :)
"I'm building the President." Mm-hmm. You do that.
"It's been so long since I've had to abduct a chair from someone." In fact, I almost forgot to use the usual alien-abduction methods. And I completely forgot to return it with its memory wiped! Oh noes!
"Her new name is going to be Jamonkey." Jamonkeyjamonkeyjamonkey.
"I'll just wake up and be, like, 'Don't wash the badger!'" An admirable slogan.
"[fake British accent] Whoa! Whoa! What is up with this [actual person's] finger? It's like it was drawn by a bad kindergartener!" ...I was going to say I'll take that as a compliment, before realizing there is no possible way for that to be a compliment. ...though it is funny. And (faux-)British.
You know you have a strange class when you hear "I will SMASH the giant squids of anger with my giant hammer of justice! YAAAY!" or "You can't swing a dead cat without getting a picture of her picking her nose." Here are some collected comments made by students and teachers, from my school to your eyeballs. Enjoy!

Meaning of Chatoyancy in Cat's Eye Gemstone:
The Cat's Eye is one of the most unique looking gemstones available and comes in many colors and sizes. If you are looking for ornamental jewelry that is unique, mystical looking and fashionable, look into the Cat's Eye.The dynamic opening and closing of lines that resembles the opening and closing of the eye of a Cat is called as Chatoyancy. It is for this very reason that Cat's Eye the Gem of the south node of the Moon/ Ketu is also called as Bidalaksha- Literally translated-The eye of a Cat. The Band that open and closes like the eyes of a Cat is called as the Chatoyant Band. The cause of this band is the reflection of light from a multitude of parallel aligned tiny needle like rutile crystal inclusions or tune inclusions. The Sacred Texts are very clear that for Jyotish Purposes to harness the power of Ketu one should use Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl.

Players: 1 Player Game | Release Date: 06/28/05 | Genre: RPG
Leave it to Atlus to deliver a relatively unknown title to the US shores and amaze us with the incredibly smooth and undeniably fun Riviera: The Promised Land only on the Game Boy Advance. While the Game Boy Advance is still one of the best selling consoles of all time, it is nearing the end of its life. Fewer and fewer titles are coming out that are worth purchase. Riviera is the late life exception to that rule adding to the lengthy list of Role Playing Games that makes Nintendo's little handheld worth playing.
The story in Riviera: The Promised Land is one you have probably heard many times before in a Role Playing Game. There is a great war between angels and demons. Nobody can stop that war except you and your band of misfits that include a fallen angel, a talking cat, and four girls that are extremely boy crazy. Just like the story, the gameplay is also similar to many other RPG's in the past. Your party has five characters in it and you have to wander around leveling up, gaining new equipment, defeating bosses, and reading text box after text box. If you are like me, the thought of deep plot development on a handheld will make you jump for joy! Riviera definitely delivers in its story.
Besides wandering around to level up and reading text, Riviera: The Promised Land also offers dating simulation, strategy elements, Shenmue moments, and a Choose Your Own Adventure style that will make your Game Boy Advance smile with glee. Dating sims have never really made much of an impact in the US market like they have in Japan. These sequences in Riviera have you side with one of the females in the game. Depending on how you respond to them, the dialogue will mildly change in the game. If you are really good, you can also get some sequences in hot springs with some of the females that can be reviewed later in the gallery.
Instead of having players wander around everywhere, you move around to different areas by hitting buttons that appear on the screen. Likewise, the battle system is also a bit different from other games. Instead of wandering around to fight random battles, players can preserve their weapon strengths by building their stats in practice battles that are against monsters you have previously defeated. This allows you to not waste precious resources but still gain the necessary experience to vanquish the evil bosses that lie at the end of each chapter.
Battles in Riviera: The Promised Land are just what you would find in your typical turn based RPG. Players select their attacks, spells, items, and then watch it take place before starting the next round. In order to add a bit more challenge to the battle system, players must select three characters and four items to bring to the battle and where to place them. This adds some great strategy elements to the gameplay. However, some players will be upset to learn that they are only allowed to carry a maximum of 15 items.
Riviera: The Promised Land is a great Role Playing Game that is worthy of purchase. Due to the limited availability of titles like this, I strongly encourage you to go purchase this title before it becomes an overpriced collector's item on Ebay. With a quest that will take you at least thirty hours to defeat, you may find that you will be spending more time with your GBA than any other console for the foreseeable future.

After contemplating (yet again) on joining the Bead Journal Project, and keeping in mind I just gave up on the Haute Couture Challenge, I've decided to throw caution to the wind and COMMIT to it!
I'm thinking since the BJP is more of a personal challenge rather than a 'competition' where your work is judged, that I'll enjoy it. It's definitely more my style.
It's hard to explain. But I just like beading for the sake of beading - not to prove that my work is better than someone elses. Do you know what I mean? Or do you like the validation you get from competitions?
