Jesus is Better than Santa

This came from an e-mail circulating in our office just before we take our last day of work for the Christmas season. Indeed, I agree and believe the truthfulness of its every statement. ( Acknowledgment goes to the author ) Santa lives at the North Pole. JESUS is everywhere. Santa rides in a sleigh, JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water. Santa comes but once a year, JESUS is an ever present help. Santa fills your stockings with goodies, JESUS supplies all your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited, JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart. You have to stand in line to see Santa, JESUS is as close as the mention of His name. Santa lets you sit on his lap, JESUS lets you rest in His arms. Santa doesn't know your name, JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our history and future! Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly, JESUS has a heart full of love. All Santa can off

The Gem Collection - A Wonderful Christmas Gift

  Have no more items on your basket for Christmas gift-giving? Well, we have the same situation, but not until when I get a dose of inspiration from this one wonderful collection of words of wisdom. It was last Saturday, December 11, 2010, during the Book Launch at the Bestsellers, National Book Store in Robinsons Galleria of ‘ The Gem Collection – A Compilation of Wisdom’ by Joseph T Bismark, Co-Founder & Group Managing Director of the Qi Group of Companies. A charismatic story-teller, simple stories, profound truths, and a best seller called the ‘The Gem Collection – A Compilation of Wisdom’. The book, which the author maintains “is not really a book but just a compilation of my musings and reflections, brought about by my experiences and insights on random, everyday matters." A compilation of his musings and reflections; has been described by many readers as a refreshing reminder in today’s fast paced world that true wealth stems from a life that is lived in harmony

First Self -Replicating Synthetic Bacterial Cell

Researchers from the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) - a world leader in Genomic research, have discovered the first ever self-replicating synthetic bacterial cell (talk about synthetic life form). Read the overview below about this stunning discovery, and check out also the download links at the end of the article for the press release, FAQs and other stuffs. Genomic science has greatly enhanced our understanding of the biological world. It is enabling researchers to "read" the genetic code of organisms from all branches of life by sequencing the four letters that make up DNA. Sequencing genomes has now become routine, giving rise to thousands of genomes in the public databases. In essence, scientists are digitizing biology by converting the A, C, T, and G's of the chemical makeup of DNA into 1's and 0's in a computer. But can one reverse the process and start with 1's and 0's in a computer to define the characteristics of a living cell? We set out to

CDO Holiday Ham: The Premium-Cut Ham

There is no doubt that the most important food of the Noche Buena is the ham. While there are a number of meat brands everyone is familiar with, there is only one that offers the best-tasting ham which not only makes the holiday special but also a cut above the rest. Introducing the Holiday Ham – the premium-cut ham. Here are three things which make this ham the best among the rest. First is that the Holiday Ham is made from one whole boneless meat from the hind leg which is the best cut of pork for hams. Hind leg ham is tastier and meatier compared to the more common shaped hams. Shaped hams are already processed and although brands would use meat from the other parts of the pork, nothing can beat the goodness found only on the hind leg of pork. Second, the Holiday Ham is a high-quality smoked ham. The net marks attests to that. Only whole-meat hams can be smoked in ham nets because if it isn’t, pieces would fall off. Lastly, Holiday Ham has no extenders. The appearance, taste a

Last Saturday, November 27, 2010, I was able to attend the launch of Finishline.ph's MyChip at The Stock Market in Bonifacio High Street, Global City, Taguig. MyChip uses a radio-frequency-identification system (RFID) for fast and accurate race timing (click this link to get to know more about RFID). Mr. Vince Mendoza, the man behind Finishline.ph , explained to us what is MyChip, where can it be used, and how is it used. The details of When and How to Wear MYCHIP is posted below, for our guide. The MyChip box: The MYCHIP box contains a timing chip, bike clip, and neoprene ankle strap. Refer below on how to use your MYCHIP, depending on the type of race you are joining: RUN / DUATHLON / AQUATHLON / TRIATHLON What do I use? • Chip on Neoprene wrapped around ankle How do I attach it? • Unstrap the velcro strap. Fasten the chip to the neoprene by inserting the velcro in between the chip openings. Make sure that the chip is facing outward with Championchip text facing
