My self-summary
I'd like to think I'm a loyal, caring person. I was raised in a
small town, but have lived in big cities from about 18 years
onward, and prefer that lifestyle and setting. I'm a good friend if
you get to know me, which sometimes is the hard part. Life has
taught me to be guarded at times, but for the most part I'm a very
happy person. I have a strong background in and passion for sports
and fitness, and love traveling, cooking, and meeting new people.
Meeting new people is probably my favorite thing to do, because
that's how you really learn about life, through others. I used to
live in Florida, and my best friends are on both coasts, so I
sometimes wonder what I am still doing here. Johnson County can be
a fun place, comfortable, but hard to live in at times too. Quality
people are hard to find. Id love to meet good natured, kind hearted
people. People who believe that relationships are the most
important thing in life, not money, power, or status. People who
are reliable, honest, and good friends. People who appreciate what
they have, and don't worry about what they don't, yet are still
driven, goal oriented, and positive. People with a good sense of
humor, who aren't afraid to "never grow up completely." People with
at least some morals, class, and decency. If you're nothing like
this description, good for you, I'm the last one to judge anyone.
But chances are we wouldn't have much in common.
The first things people usually notice about me
Eyes? I don't know!
I'm looking for
- Girls who like guys
- Ages 22–36
- Near me
- For new friends

Maybe not the best hotel,But the view from the rooms is fantastic.The location is ideal it is just in the middle of Marmaris and Icemeler.All the boats that are going to Marmaris center or Icemeler are stopping in front of the hotel.
Unique Quality: An inside swimmingpool.Restaurant on top of the roof.Also a Jazz club and a disco in the hotel.
We are 3 25 year old girls going to Marmaris mid June - can anyone recommend a hotel / apartments which are close to the night life but are decent (nice pool/nice staff/reasonable rooms etc? We are on a fairly tight budget so would be grateful for any help! Thanks
We are 2 turkish guys going to Marmaris as well. We will be staying at Lidya Hotel. it is a four star hotel including meal & drink and it is only $50 per night. We will be there on June 12. I hope to see you there

Term: Fascination Point
Fascination Point: An object gazed at by a subject to induce hypnosis. In a hypnotic induction that uses fascination, this object can be anything from a spot on the wall to the archetypal swinging pocket watch. Today, the fascination method of hypnotic induction is not as widely used as in the past.
You can run into all sorts of unexpected situations that hypnosis can help you resolve. Here are two—out of hundreds—of my cases that you may find interesting. They are excellent illustrations of the power of hypnosis.

Old & In the Way
Old & In the Way
Old & in the Way was a one-shot bluegrass band whose legacy lasted far longer than the band. Led by Grateful Dead member Jerry Garcia (banjo, vocals), the band also featured David Grisman (mandolin, vocals), Vassar Clements (fiddle), Peter Rowan (guitar, vocals), and John Kahn (bass). Garcia formed the band in 1973 as a way to revisit his bluegrass roots and demonstrate his affection for the music. To round out the lineup, he recruited Clements and Kahn as well as Grisman and Rowan, who were both West Coast session musicians who had previously played together in the band Muleskinner. Taking their name from a Grisman composition, Old & in the Way played a handful of gigs, most of them at the Boarding House in San Francisco in October. An album, also called Old & in the Way, was culled from these shows but not released until 1975 on the Grateful Dead's own record label, Round. The record combined standards and Rowan originals, which later became standards. Although the album was the only one the lineup released during the 1970s, the members continued to play together in various permutations over the next two decades, and the record continued to sell steadily. The group reunited after Garcia's death in 1995, releasing a second album (actually composed of 1973 recordings), That High Lonesome Sound, in early 1996. A third album of 1973 vintage appeared at the end of 1997. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

London 2012 sites prove a tough sell
By Maisie McCabe, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 26 May 2011 10:10AM
Official sponsors have snapped up less than half of the outdoor sites available during the London 2012 Olympic Games, according to media buying sources.
Following the initial rounds of a bidding process with total reserve prices set at around £72 million, agencies expect much of the outdoor media space to come back on to the open market by July.
Rules stated that vicinity sites near the stadia, spectacular outdoor sites and premium and standard packages had to be offered to official sponsors.
Despite the £72 million of inventory available, worldwide and tier-one sponsors are said to have spent around £21 million on sites. Since then, another £10 million is said to have been spent on formats in the vicinity and spectacular categories by lower tier sponsors.
It is understood JCDecaux has sold a station domination of St Pancras plus one of the key routes to the Olympic Village in Stratford, while the shopping centre Westfield has sold at least two sites for more than £1 million each.
Spectacular sites that have not sold, such as the wrap of the Canary Wharf tower at a reserve price of £4 million, are expected to attract interest from both sponsors and non-sponsors when put back on the market.
The online auction was conducted by the trading platform MediaEquals.
A 2012 spokesman said: "The first round of sales went really well, the second round started (on Tuesday) and there will be a final round with remaining assets starting at the beginning of July. Everyone is very happy with how the process and system is working."

Highly agile reader Christopher Webb points us to this: Canabalt Typing Tutor Edition. Not exactly Typing Of The Dead, but it's a neat remix of the one-button game concept. It starts off slow and unchallenging but, well, let's just say it picks up its pace as you go. Touch typing improved? Maybe.

I just spotted this exquisite little game by Adam Saltsman over on Offworld. Fathom starts with blistering chip-core-fuelled platform battling and… well, there's a little surprise waiting in there, which I couldn't possibly spoil. It might seem a little confusing, and it is cryptic, but all the clues are there. Oh, just go play it – and beware of spoilers in the comments, please.

The Peanut Barrel has been a staple of the East Lansing dining scene for decades. The restaurant is well known for its one-third pound, never-frozen hamburgers.
Eric Skusa, manager of The Peanut Barrel, said the freshness of the patties is what separates a Peanut Barrel burger from the competition.
The olive burger is the signature dish of the restaurant. The patty is topped with "olive sauce," a mayonnaise-based spread containing green olives.
The manager said his favorite item on the menu is the rodeo burger, a patty topped with bacon and your choice of cheddar or Swiss cheese. All burgers can be paired with potato salad, coleslaw or seasoned French fries.
Joe Bell, the owner of The Peanut Barrel, bought the bar 32 years ago. It used to be twice the size it is today, according to Skusa.
However, Bell shrunk the restaurant down to its current size and turned it into a more family friendly environment. The Peanut Barrel is now one of the oldest privately owned restaurants in East Lansing. It has regular customers that have been dining there for three decades.
Customers have ways to entertain themselves before or after their meals. The restaurant contains three dart boards, a Pac-Man and a Spider Man arcade game, and a billiards table.
Skuza said there is a lot of tradition at The Peanut Barrel that makes you "feel like you are part of something."

People crowd Crunchy's for its burger, pizza, and microbrew beer, but they really come out starting on Thursdays for karaoke.
Paul Grattarola opened Crunchy's in the fall of 1982. The business, and one of the best burgers in town, come from his college nickname.
The Crunchy burger is a half-pound burger that literally melts in your hand.
Another favorite that Grattarola introduced to college students is his bucket of beer. A bucket of beer consists of 270 ounces of your choice. It takes at least four people to start a bucket.
Mike Krubger is general manager, and said that you can get a bucket of appetizers, as well. "The two favorites are pizza nugs and pretzels," he said.
Krubger's favorite part of the job is deciding what beer he wants to put on the menu. Crunchy's has 27 taps and 23 of those are microbrews.
Tuesday nights you can expect a DJ, Wednesdays Crunchy's has live acoustic music and Thursday, Friday and Saturdays are all karaoke.

Although there are numbers of tea shops in East Lansing, Bubble Island is the only one offering Taiwanese bubble tea. The story started when the owner of Bubble Island traveled to Taiwan, had the bubble tea there and loved it. Then he came back and opened this tea shop in 2003. The drink menu is pretty simple and you can create a lot of combinations by yourself. Bubble Island offers milk tea, green tea, turtle tea, thai tea, calpico, snow bubbles, and smoothies. There are lots of flavors among which taro is the most popular one. Most drinks are available hot or cold. You can also add black bubbles, colored bubbles, jellies or mango stars.
When asked what made Bubble Island special in the community, Camille Warfield,
General Manger of the store told us that the one of a kind Taiwanese bubble tea with so many options of flavors is the secret weapon of Bubble Island. The store is close to campus, and therefore attracts lots of MSU students. To better serve the community, Bubble Island sponsors numerous events held by Greek Community, Asian Community, East Lansing High School, and other local organizations.
For those night owls, Bubble Island is a nice place to go because it often stays open late night. Recently, the store has two promotions in the coupon books offered by Student Book Store on Grand River Avenue.

Hannah's Koney Island
This is one of the places around East Lansing where you can get an authentic Detroit-style coney island hot dog. Owner Anton Prenaj learned the trade working for about 20 years in Detroit around Seven Mile Road and Schaefer and opened this shop in 2006. It is not unusual to find him working the kitchen as Michigan State students work the counter, booths and tables. Like many coneys, Hannah's does a big business in all-day breakfasts, salads and gyros. There are many options for $5 to $10 meals. Prenaj says working at the restaurant seven days a week can be a bit much, but that business is holding up. He hopes to get a liquor license someday, and the counter has more of a bar look with its height and tall chairs rather than the lower lunch counter and stools in traditional coney islands.
Hannah's has a couple of menu items not seen on other coney islands: Tony's hot dog and Tony's hamburger, both topped with chopped tomato, feta cheese and mustard.
One other unusual item is the bacon salad. Despite a promising name, we were told no one orders it.

During summer 2010, a small sandwich shop opened on East Grand River Avenue. This sandwich shop is Stateside Deli, owned by Spencer Soka.
Soka is originally from Southfield, Mich., but spent a lot of time working in Detroit. During his time in the Motor City, he became quite familiar with the various delis and sandwich shops in the area, especially the ones that serve corned beef.
Stateside's signature sandwich, The Famous #32, was modeled after the simple yet delicious Detroit sandwich shops: corned beef, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on double baked rye bread. This sandwich is not only the first sandwich offered to customers when they walk through the door, it is also Soka's favorite food.
In addition to The Famous #32, Stateside also offers a variety of other sandwiches featuring a variety of meats, cheeses, vegetables and breads. Customers can get anything from the S.S. Special (corned beef, pastrami, coleslaw and Russian dressing) to the Nova Scotia Lox (lox, cream cheese, tomato and onion on a bagel). It also serves hot sandwiches, hearty soups, salads and a stunning baklava.
"At Stateside Deli our goal is to continually provide you with the greatest quality of food and service you've experienced from any deli, anywhere," according to the Stateside website and Soka stands by the website's claim.
In addition to the Stateside on Grand River, there is also a Stateside Deli Bar & Grill in Okemos (Exit 110 off of I-96), also owned by Soka, which opened two years ago.
When asked why he chose to expand to the East Lansing area, he said he researched the area and discovered that there were not any really good sandwich shop. He felt the East Lansing deserves the best, so he opened up his second location.
"We care more about customer service and are dedicated to serving the best quality breads, meats and cheeses," said Soka. "We are a real deli and we serve fresh food cooked daily, as if you were at home."
The East Lansing Stateside is located at 313 E. Grand River Ave. near Barnes & Noble. The Okemos Stateside is located at 3552 Meridian Crossings near NCG Cinemas. Both locations offer online ordering through www.campusspecial.com and accept all major credit cards. Both locations also offer catering and delivery.

Some might think of Elkmont as a sleepy little town in northern Limestone County, but come August that perception could change — Elkmont is ready to rock.
The Red Devil Rock Show, named for the Elkmont High School mascot, is slated for noon until 11 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, at the Elkmont baseball fields on Vaughn Street.
The one-day music and art festival, sponsored by Hilltop Arts Society, will feature some fresh faces in rock and a few other genres.
The Banditos, an Americana/Rock collective, will headline the festival. Many know the band as being famously eclectic as members recall the sounds of Creedence Clearwater Revival and perform a tribute to Aretha Franklin. The band is comprised of Timothy Parsons on guitar and vocals, Steven Pierce II on vocals and banjo, Mary Richardson on vocals and tambourine, Randy Wade on the drums, Jeffery Vines on the upright bass, and Jeffery Salter on the electric guitar and lap steel.
Opening for Banditos is Sol Cat, a Columbia, Tenn.-based band that brings a mix of indie rock, funk and post funk. Having performed at SXSW Festival in 2012 and again this year, Sol Cat has become a band with its share of followers. The band's self-titled album "Sol Cat" debuted in February 2012, and many have said the band has nowhere to go but up.
Also on the roster is local Athens band Spiral Down South, which has previously opened for Alabama Shakes.
Georgia natives Poanna, Missouri musician Riley Downing, and Auburn-based band John and the Conners as well as many other side acts, who will be gracing the second stage, will perform at the event.
"We at the Hilltop Arts Society are really grateful for the opportunity in front of us," said Hilltop Arts Society founder Preston Pylant. "We are happy to be able to bring more people to our town of Elkmont and awareness to its businesses and the artists who live in it. This rock show is comprised of great acts from all over, and we want everyone who can to come out. We feel it will be an amazing time for everyone in attendance."
Tickets to the Red Devil Rock Show are $15 and $25.

Schwartz says Lions cannot overreact to slow start

04:57 PM ET 10.26 | In 2011, the Detroit Lions put together the franchise's best season since 1995 with a 10-6 record, and lost to the New Orleans Saints in the first round of the playoffs. But with a 13-7 loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday night, the 2012 Lions are now 2-4 and in last place in the NFC North division. With lots of ground to make up, head coach Jim Schwartz told WXYT in Detroit that the Lions "can't overreact" to the Monday night loss, because the reason for the loss is obvious. The Lions' lost despite outgaining the Bears 340-296 because of four turnovers, three of which came in the red zone. "I think that you can overreact, but you need to identify it," Scwhartz said, "players need to identify it, and you need to take steps to correct it and you need to move on to the next one."
Maybe they should 'overreact' after the way they played on MNF

2-4 in the stacked NFC North isn't just a slow start. It's a path to golfing in January.
NFC North isn't *that* stacked. Minnesota is getting exposed right now. Chicago and Green Bay are for real, and the Lions realistically need to punch out an 8-2 record the rest of the way to even have a shot at the playoffs this year.
Isn't he the one that overreacted to a handshake?
Yes, but he didn't overreact to a Suh stomp. You have to pick what you want to be concerned about.

A MAN OF DESTINY Exodus 1 The scene was horrifying: hundreds of near-naked men laboring in furnace-like temperatures, standing in deep, muddy clay pits making bricks. The air resounded with the fierce crack of rods and the awful screams of the slaves as grim-faced task masters lashed scorched and bleeding backs, driving the slaves harder, punishing every slight pause for rest and ruthlessly ignoring cries for mercy. Sweat poured from gaunt, emaciated bodies as the vicious midday sun hammered down on them from the unforgiving sky. Flies and other insects crawled across their faces and bodies, biting and sting- ing their flesh. Slowly, torturously, some of the men used their chapped and bleeding hands to hack bundles of straw into small pieces, while others stood knee deep in pits, treading the chopped straw into the mud to create a thick, cement-like mixture. And then a few yards away yet more slaves slapped the mixture into row upon row of crude wooden frames and left them to dry. A few hours later the sun bricks, as they were 15 MOSES T H E M A K I N G O F A L E A D E R called, would be baked hard and the slaves would turn them out and stack them in piles, ready for use in houses and other buildings in the majestic cities of Pithom Tell er-Retabeh and Raamses Pi-Ra'amese, both set amid the black, fertile plains of the River Nile. Some men were working with just one hand, the other limb hanging painfully at their side after being broken when fending off a blow from the rod. Many of the slaves were racked with disease. Some were barely conscious, simply going through the motions of exis- tence. And a fortunate few would find freedom that day... through anonymous, undignified, and yet welcome death, from sickness, exhaustion, or through a beating. Many was the time when the Hebrew slaves risked punishment by cast- ing their eyes longingly towards their homeland across Egypt's northeastern border... far away, and beyond all reach thanks to the crocodile-infested canal that ran along the fron- tier. Both of the military cities, breathtaking in their magnifi- cence, were primarily used to store treasure, along with supplies like wine, grain, meat, and precious metal for the Pharaoh. The ruler then was Rameses II1 who had already secured his place in Egyptian history by becoming the great- est builder his nation had ever known. He had used slave labor to build a capital in Egypt's Delta region for the first time in hundreds of years and a massive mortuary complex on the west bank of the Nile at Thebes. Each building was simply breathtaking... an architectural masterpiece, with ornate columns, pillars, ponds, and intricately designed gardens. Fine monuments and statues, mainly of the narcis- sistic Rameses himself, stood everywhere. Each one was 16 A MAN OF DESTINY beautifully sculpted and colorfully decorated—one of them was seventeen meters square and weighed more than a thou- sand tons. But the magnificence and the finery concealed a grim history. For Pharaoh's achievements during this time of unparalleled national influence, grandeur, and luxury were paid for with blood and with shame. They were founded on brutality and cost the lives of the glorious people of promise. It was a scene, then, of utmost depravity—one of history's darkest hours for God's people. And yet even Pharaoh, with all his might, his wealth, and his wisdom had not grasped one critical factor: that—like all things in the upside down king- dom of El Elohe, God most high—the degradation and bloodshed he had inflicted were not producing death. Instead they were producing life as God exalted the humble, lifted up the downtrodden, and fulfilled the promise which He had given Abraham centuries before to multiply his people. So as a result of God's faithfulness, the Israelites had grown in number and in influence. And the immortal Pharaoh Rameses II, who owned everything and everybody in Egypt and who was worshiped and revered as a god himself by his people, grew increasingly afraid. A God of suffering? Oppression. Bondage. Suffering. You could hardly describe the Israelites' existence in Egypt as the blessing of God—and it seems a contradiction in terms for God's people to be captives to anything or anybody. If God is a God of freedom, then ideally, His people should be free! So why were the Israelites forced to become slaves and endure such dreadful 17 MOSES T H E M A K I N G O F A L E A D E R conditions in Egypt? God prophesied the period of captivity. He told Abram in Genesis 15:13: "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and they will be enslaved and ill-treated for four hundred years." But the loving God who is revealed to us throughout Scripture is certainly not one who sits in heaven and shoves humanity around some great cosmic chessboard at His own whim. God loves His people too much to play those kinds of games with them. Certainly there was a sense in which God used their suffering for good in order to prepare them for a future relationship with Him which would be quite different from the idolatry they had grown up with in Egypt. It is also true to say that throughout the Bible, the idea of freedom for God's people is always measured in comparison with an earlier period of captivity—we are freed from something, into something. But to understand what was happening here, we need to turn the clock back more than 400 years—and to remember that God always has the best interests of His people at heart. When famine hit the entire known world in the nine- teenth century B.C., Jacob and his household, who had always known God's plentiful provision, faced the prospect of imminent starvation. And we are told in Genesis 42:1, "When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, 'Why do you just keep looking at each other?... I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die.'" Now Jacob was right—there was corn in Egypt. Plenty of it, in fact, with merchants traveling from far and wide to buy it. And little did Jacob know it was his long-lost son Joseph who had been storing it there for the past seven years and 18 A MAN OF DESTINY who was now responsible for its administration. Egypt was the obvious place to go, and eventually the whole of Jacob's clan settled there, in Goshen, in the northeastern region of the Nile Delta. There they soon found that life was much easier than it had been among the tiring hills and valleys of Canaan. Their flocks thrived and so did they, especially with Joseph there to look after their interests. Now Joseph had been taken to Egypt by Midianite merchants during a period when a Semitic people known as Hyksos had invaded and conquered the country. The fact that Joseph was a Semite, too, and that he came from the same geographical area as the Hyksos probably made it easier for Pharaoh to elevate him to the influential position of "Prime Minister." However, the Hyksos were finally expelled and the Egyptians later regarded foreign Semitic people, like Joseph's descendants, as both a military threat and a constant reminder of their former foreign rulers. So eventually the Semitic people—the Israelites—were taken into slavery. You could hardly say it was the Israelites' fault that they became captives. And it is hard to see why God allowed such terrible circumstances to occur. But we need to see the situa- tion from a wider perspective. God had three purposes in allowing His people to become slaves to the Egyptians. 1. He wanted to keep His promises God promised Abraham that he would become the father of a nation. But his plan was threatened by the famine in Canaan. Had Abraham's grandson Jacob stayed there, both he and his family would have been wiped out. Joseph makes that clear in Genesis 45:5-8. So, by moving Jacob and his clan to Egypt, God was able to guarantee that His people would 19 MOSES T H E M A K I N G O F A L E A D E R be safe, and that His promise to create a people of His own from Abraham's descendants still held good. God used Egypt again as a sanctuary to keep His promises hundreds of years later when He told Joseph to take the baby Jesus there to avoid being slaughtered by King Herod. The geographic shift meant that Jesus escaped the massacre, and the life of the promised Messiah was preserved. God is good at responding to changing and "unforeseen" circumstances, mainly because He sees them long before anybody else does! As a result He sometimes has to allow us to go through periods of difficulty in order to achieve His wider purposes. Unforeseen circumstances are not on our agendas, but they are always on God's. 2. God can bring good out of difficult circumstances If you look at life's circumstances through human eyes, it is sometimes easy to conclude that things are going hope- lessly wrong. And in some ways they are! But thinking this way places a limit on God's ability to bring good out of every- thing, no matter how painful and difficult. It might appear cruel, even wrong, that Joseph had to be sold into slavery by his brothers and then endure years of imprisonment in Egypt for something he did not do. But he was the catalyst in a chain of events which first led to the salvation of Joseph's father and brothers, and then eventually brought deliverance for millions of God's people. We must learn to look at life's knocks from God's point of view. Yes, they hurt and are often desperately cruel and unfair. But alongside the pain are God's promises to bring healing and to use those circumstances to bring tremendous good . . . providing we are prepared to give Him the time. 20 A MAN OF DESTINY Jesus' death on the cross is probably the best example of this. From a human point of view, it was a disaster: He was struck down in His prime, and His ministry destroyed just three years after it began. But from God's point of view it was the only way to bring glory and resurrection life, not just to His Son, but to the rest of humanity, too. 3. God loves to display His glory The Israelites' years of slavery were certainly difficult. But they nonetheless provided God with a wonderful opportunity to reveal Himself as a great deliverer, and as a keeper of His promises. They gave Him the chance to demonstrate His love and His power by performing incredible miracles. The plagues, the exodus, the parting of the Red Sea ... none of these events would have taken place had the Israelites not been taken into captivity. The death of my father hurt me more than anything I have ever lived through. But in a sense, it was worth the pain in order to discover new dimensions of God's tenderness, His ability to comfort, and the blessing that He promises for those who mourn. Although some of life's circumstances can be bleak, seeing the way God redeems them and displays His love through them can make them worthwhile. So while it was tough on the Israelites to be used as slaves in Egypt, the story did not end there. God had wider purposes in mind. In a crude hut made of dried mud, straw, and pebbles, a young Israelite woman lay on a tattered rug in the scorching afternoon heat. She was heavily pregnant... and equally heavy in heart. Tears poured down her cheeks, mingling with beads of perspiration. Another slave woman tried, vainly, to comfort her. 21 MOSES T H E M A K I N G O F A L E A D E R They had just heard the grim edict from the royal courts. Pharaoh had ordered the Hebrew midwives to kill all Israelite baby boys at birth because the Israelites were becoming too numerous, a threat to national security. In their hopelessness and fear, both women prostrated themselves on the dusty floor and called out to their God to raise up someone who could deliver them from their misery, captivity, and pain. A people in bondage Right through history, God's people have never known freedom for long. No matter what God has done, they have unfailingly managed to get themselves into bondage of one sort or another, either to religion, sin, self-effort, worship of false gods, wrong doctrine, or captivity by their enemies. God's freedom plan for humanity was sabotaged by man for the first time in the perfect environment of the Garden of Eden, and the pattern has been repeating itself to this day. Fortunately, however, God's mercy is everlasting, and He always steps in and raises up a man or woman to bring hope, deliverance, and judgment and to usher in yet another new era of His grace and love. These are people of destiny, people who know their place in history, people who are stamped with God's call right from conception and even earlier... people who understand that God made them what they are and created them for a life of good deeds, prepared in advance for them to do (Eph. 2:10). People of destiny Jeremiah was one such person. God told him that He had selected him to be a prophet to the nations before he was 22 A MAN OF DESTINY born. John the Baptist was another, conceived in impossibil- ity and birthed in prophecy. And of course Moses was one of the greatest—a man born for a purpose—a purpose that probably burned in his heart from the day he was born to the day he died. As Stephen acknowledges in Acts 7:20, he was no ordinary man. Gerald Coates, the leader of the Pioneer network of churches, often says that he was born for the 1990s. In other words, he's saying that God's mission for his life is such that it simply couldn't have been slotted into any other generation. He knows his place in history. So should we. We all need a captivating sense of destiny. We need to understand that all of our personal circumstances, including when we were born, where we were brought up, the things that have happened to us, and the types of people we are have all been sovereignly allowed by God to train us, develop us, and to work His word into our hearts. We must realize that we are Christians because we have been chosen and raised up by God Himself. Without this understand- ing—which can be exciting, sobering, and frightening all at the same time—we will never hold out under pressure and we will lose sight of our vision, our calling, and our goals. You were born for a time like this! History was waiting for your first cry after you left your mother's womb. It waited for Moses', too, in the same way. For as the oppression of the Israelites became more relentless and cruel, they began to call on the name of their God. He responded by raising up His man. The atmosphere in the Per'ao, Pharaoh's awesome stone palace, was tense. Pharaoh Rameses II frowned as he sat amid 23 MOSES T H E M A K I N G O F A L E A D E R the grandeur and opulence of his throne room, his face clouded with anger. His courtiers and officials stood rever- ently around him, gazing nervously at the colorfully patterned tiled floor, unsure of what to say. The problem? A recurring one . . . the Hebrews. They were continuing to grow in number. The latest estimates put the Israelite population at around 600,000. Nothing that Pharaoh had tried to do to solve the prob- lem had worked. First he had ordered them to be taken as slaves. But even a grim and merciless regime of hard labor, forcing them to build cities and till the ground, had failed to slow down the birth rate. So then he had issued the order to midwives to kill all their baby boys at birth. But that did not have any effect, either—there were Israelite baby boys every- where. And so the threat to Egypt's security was becoming graver. Pharaoh feared that the Israelites might join forces with the Hittites or another enemy to fight against him. After all, his soldiers had been battling with the Hittites in Syria for years and had still not defeated them. Then, of course, there was the prospect of them returning to their own country. If that happened, Egypt would lose almost all its workforce and the building projects in Nubia would grind to a halt. Pharaoh paused, turned to one of his servants. "Are they here yet?" he demanded. The servant nodded. "Then go and get them." The servant scurried away and returned with Shiphrah and Puah, two of the Israelite midwives. They had been given their orders by Pharaoh several months earlier—to kill the Hebrew baby boys at birth. But they were both God-fearing women and had refused to go along with the grim edict. Now here they 24 A MAN OF DESTINY were, back before Pharaoh, ready to explain their rebellion and perhaps to pay for it with their own lives—for in Egypt Pharaoh was the only one who could pass the death sentence. The servant ushered the nervous women before the golden throne and they kissed the ground beneath Pharaoh's feet in the customary way. Their hearts quaked with fear as they looked at their ruler, who was wearing the ceremonial false beard, held in place by a band around his jaw, and a white double crown, with a sinister cobra's head mounted on the front. Pharaoh's voice was quiet and yet full of menace. "You know why you are here?" Both women were silent. "I told you that you must kill all Israelite boys at birth. But it appears that you have been letting them live. If this is so, it is a serious act of rebellion against Pharaoh's authority." There was a pause and then Shiphrah broke the silence. "The Hebrew women aren't like Egyptian women," she began, hesitantly. "That's right," joined in Puah. "They are very vigorous. They give birth easily and their babies are born before either of us gets there. That is why we have not been able to comply with your order." Both women stood and waited for Pharaoh's response. They had endured months of emotional turmoil, knowing that if they were to obey God in the situation they would have to disobey their ruler—and lie about it as well. They had discussed what to say to Pharaoh many times, taking comfort in the fact that at least there was some element of truth in their story—Hebrew women did give birth quickly. Their hearts beat rapidly at the prospect of instant punishment. Pharaoh stared at them, almost with disinterest, thought for a 25 MOSES T H E M A K I N G OF A L E A D E R while, and then said, "Then we'll have to deal with this situa- tion another way, won't we? The growth of the Israelites must be stopped. They are becoming a danger to us." He turned to one of his senior officials. "You are to issue a decree throughout the land. It must be declared in every province. You are to tell the people that every newborn Hebrew boy must be taken from its mother at birth and thrown into the River Nile. That will guarantee their death, no matter how quickly the mothers give birth." The official stiffened with shock and the two midwives gasped. "Yes!" declared Pharaoh, triumphantly. "They must be thrown in the Nile. Let them drown! May the river flow with blood!" Little did the Pharaoh know how true his words would eventually prove to be, or how bitter a harvest he would reap from what he was about to sow. The scene was tranquil in the cool of the dawn. The silty waters of the River Nile shimmered and sparkled in the early morning sunlight and wild ducks and geese squawked loudly as they thrashed wildly across the surface. Palm trees swayed and rustled gently in the breeze and in the marshes and fields near the banks of the 4,000-mile river. Some peasant farmers were picking vegetables and papyrus which would later be used to make paper, sandals, rope, and baskets. Farther upstream two fishermen were guiding a wooden boat along with a long pole, and a gang of men were using a shaduf(a trellis supporting a pole with a counterweight) to hoist water out of the river and pour it into a crude chute to irrigate the fields nearby by way of a series of ditches and channels. It was March now, and the floods, which began unfailingly on or around July 15 each year, had long since subsided, leaving 26 A MAN OF DESTINY farmers and slaves the tedious job of watering their crops by hand. As each day went by, measuring posts along the river showed that the water levels had dropped a little further, making their task even harder. During the age of the Pharaohs, Egypt's geographical shape was said to resemble a flower. The Nile Valley formed the stem, the oasis of Faiyuum was the bud and the Delta the blossom, or the life. And the Nile, which passed through a richer variety of landscapes, cultures, and people than any other river on earth, meant more to the Egyptians than just being the world's longest river. Quite simply, it was their blos- som—their primary source of life. Without the river, which wound its majestic course from Ethiopia and Sudan in the south, through some terrible deserts to the Mediterranean in the north, the ancient civilizations of Egypt would never have existed. The mysterious dynasties of the Pharaohs would never have come to pass. For life without the river would not have been sustainable amid the savage red and stony wilder- nesses that dominated the rest of the country. No wonder, then, that the Egyptians saw the river in mystical, spiritual terms. Historically, they worshiped the elements of nature that were stable, enduring, and reliable, like the rising of the sun, which led to the evolution of Atum, the sun god. And the Nile was a god, named Hapi, who was thought to live in a cave at the source of the river. To the Egyptian people, the Nile represented the difference between plenty and famine, life and death. In a good year, when the monsoon rains to the south in tropical Africa were intense, Hapi would arrive and the river would rise up to six feet and the flood waters would spread gently and benignly across the valley and delta, leaving a thick layer of fertile mud covering 27 MOSES T H E M A K I N G O F A L E A D E R the fields. Then there would be enough food such as dates, garlic, wheat, barley, fruit, and vegetables to feed the whole nation for a year—providing, of course, that the waters receded quickly enough to give the crops time to grow. But in a bad year, when the water levels were low, famine would strike and death from starvation would be a very real prospect for hundreds of dwellers. Now, on this peaceful, sparkling day, the historic river was witnessing more death. The busy farmers froze as three Egyptian soldiers, dressed in light linen tunics and sandals and carrying black and white shields, spears, and fearsome looking scimitars, marched solemnly along the soggy riverbank a few hundred yards away. One of them was carrying something: a small bundle wrapped in cloth, a small bundle that was crying. When the soldiers reached the water's edge, the one carrying the bundle unwrapped it and took out a newly-born baby boy, scarcely more than twelve hours old. His defenseless naked body, wrinkled and pink, was in stark contrast to the soldier's bronzed, rippling, muscular frame. His hoarse, insistent cries for his mother disturbed the beautiful calm of the morning. Suddenly the soldier, spurred on by his cheering comrades, swung his arms and hurled the baby twenty feet into the river with a shout of exclamation. A flock of birds took to the air, their squawks drowning the final death cry. Then the baby's body gently sank to the bottom of the river, to join scores of others. Their duty done, the soldiers walked off, still laughing. Maybe one hesitated, a tinge of regret clouding his mind for a moment. And in a clay hut a little over a mile away, a mother lifted her head and wailed. 28 A MAN OF DESTINY The slaughter of the innocents Satan's attack on humanity, and on infants in particular, is nothing new. He has been determined to destroy life ever since God spoke to him in the Garden of Eden after the Fall of human beings. God told him that he and humanity would always be at odds with one another. Jesus didn't refer to him as a murderer for nothing. That's exactly what he is and the Jewish people, who bore the seed which would eventually produce the Messiah, have always been his special targets. Satan got to work quickly after God had pronounced the curse on him in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve had not been out of the Garden for very long before the first blood was spilt. Their eldest son, Cain, was so jealous of his brother Abel that he killed him, despite receiving a personal warning from God that sin was crouching at his door, ready to consume him. The pattern continued throughout the Old Testament. In the time of Queen Jezebel, countless Jewish people joined in the evil worship of Baal by hurling their tiny babies into the flickering flames of the sacrificial fires. And King Xerxes turned his wrath against the Jews in Esther 3:13. He issued an order that all of them—young and old, men, women, chil- dren—were to be killed on a specific day. They were to be slaughtered without mercy and their belongings taken away. And then after Jesus was born, King Herod issued a decree almost identical to the one given by Pharaoh before the birth of Moses. He ordered that all boys under the age of two in the vicinity of Bethlehem be slaughtered in order to wipe out this newly-born King of the Jews. The bloodshed and grief must have been devastating. 29 MOSES T H E M A K I N G O F A L E A D E R God's warning to Joseph in a dream made sure that Herod's satanically inspired edict failed to achieve its object. But Satan still didn't give up. He was still determined to destroy God's promised Messiah. He had to, for Jesus' mission wasn't just to bring redemption to mankind, but to destroy Satan's works (1 John 3:8). The stakes were high: there would only be one winner. So Satan tried a different tactic, and through his ungodly inspiration began and main- tained a chain of events which led to Jesus' death on the cross. How delighted Satan must have been when Jesus breathed His last. It had taken him centuries to get his man—but he achieved his goal in the end. Imagine how he must have felt later when he realized that under God's edict, first given after the murder of Abel, anybody who shed innocent blood had to pay for it with their own life.. . and that in killing Jesus, he had in fact signed his own death warrant. The words "It is finished" (John 19:30) would haunt him for eternity. Even though Satan knows his ultimate fate at the end of the age—he and his demons are destined to perish in the eternal fire (Rev. 20:10)—his attack on humanity has not relented. He still opposes the Gospel. He still kills, and it is still children who are among his primary victims. Maybe we're living in similar times now to those of Moses and Jesus, when Satan knew that God's deliverers had been born or were about to be born and went to any lengths to destroy them. Perhaps Satan knows now that the current generation is a significant one for God's end-time purposes on the earth and has sought to destroy them in anyway he can. How many tens of thousands of lives have been coldly and deliberately ended in the abortion clinics across the world, their lives sacrificed on the twentieth-century altars of convenience, expediency, and a woman's right to choose? Our methods of 30 A MAN OF DESTINY destruction might be more palatable on the face of it than the barbarism of the Baal worshipers. But the result is the same. We need to be crying out to God for mercy over the whole issue of abortion right now. We will find, as the Egyptians found, that if you sow death, you reap it. Pharaoh sowed the deaths of the Israelite children, and paid for it with the death of his own son and all of his nation's firstborn. Without God's mercy our nation, and others, may find that there will be a terrible price to pay in the years to come. Note 1 There is some debate about which Pharaoh presided during the time of the Israelites' oppression and the subse- quent Exodus. Exodus 1 gives us a significant clue. We are told that the Israelites were building the cities of Ra'amses and Pithom. Ra'amses was Egypt's Delta capital, named after and largely built by Ra'amses II (c. 1290-1224 B.C.), super- seding the work of his father Sethos. Ra'amses I only ruled for a year and does not really enter the equation. Before Sethos I and Ra'amses II, no Pharaoh had built a Delta capi- tal since the Hyksos period (Joseph's day). So the city of Ra'amses is truly an original work of these kings. So the Exodus must have fallen after 1300 B.C., and probably after the accession of Ra'amses II in 1290 B.C. However some scholars set the Exodus as being much earlier, in around 1440 B.C., in which case the Pharaoh who "did not know Joseph" would have been Thutmose (1539-1514 B.C.) and the Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus would have been Amenhotep II (1447-1421 B.C.). I have gone with the earlier theory, which is generally seen as being the more credible. 31

About the Designer Aldo Rossi Italy (1931 - ) Aldo Rossi is considered by many to be the greatest Italian architect of the second ...half of the 20th century. His life as an architect started with Gardella and Zanuso. An author of abstraction, reduction and brevitas, his severe language of primary shapes, geometrical patterns and silent evocation created some of the most intensely poetic works of architecture and design in his age. These exact characteristics exude from his products as well, utilizing geometrical shapes to make profound design statements. Rossi died in 1997. Continuing this legacy in the design and creation of the Il Conico water kettle, the piece itself is composed of a simple geometric shape, the cone with other small understated embellishments, such as the spherical knob on top. Although these are primary shapes, the piece is extremely distinguished and elegant. It is made from 18/10 mirror-polished stainless steel with a magnetic heat diffusing bottom for induction cooking.

About the Designer Richard Sapper Germany (1932 - ) Richard Sapper (born 1932 in Munich) is a German industrial designer. He recei...ved a Compasso d'Oro industrial design award in 1959. Sapper partnered with Italian designer Marco Zanuso and were hired in 1959 as consultants to Brionvega, an Italian company trying to produce stylish electronics that would compete with products manufactured in Japan and Germany. They designed a series of radios and televisions that became enduring icons of an aesthetic known as techno-functionalism. One of their more notable designs was the rounded, compact and portable Doney 14 (1962), the first television to feature completely transistorized construction. Using the aesthetic of sculptural minimalism, the pair designed the compact folding Grillo telephone for Siemens and Italtel in 1965. The Grillo was one of the first telephones to put the dial and the earpiece on the same unit, and today is a featured display at New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). The 9090 was not only the first espresso coffee machine in our history, but it was also the first Alessi object designed for the kitchen after the 30s. It also gained us our first Compasso d'Oro Award (in 1979) and it is on display in the Permanent Design Collection at the MOMA in New York. The Espresso Coffee Maker was the first of our amphibious objects, those that can be used in the kitchen but are attractive enough to be used directly at the table.
