Past and a Future Time: Into the Land ~1400 B.C. “By faith
Rahab the prostitute escaped the destruction of the disobedient,
because she welcomed the spies in peace.” HEBREWS 11:31 After
40 years of struggle, Israel stood poised to enter the Promised
Land. But she would enter without Moses for he was dead. Much
work remained. This beautiful new land was dangerous. Numerous
city-states dotted the landscape, each a well-fortified, walled
fortress with a battle-tested army. Conquest would be a
difficult, time-consuming task. But, God remained faithful to
His people. He equipped a new leader, Joshua, who had been
trained under Moses’ leadership for 40 years for this job.
Joshua knew that the 2.5 million Israelites plus their flocks
and herds needed to cross a flooded river and begin their
conquest of the land. So, he sent 2 spies to secretly scout the
area of imminent war, particularly Jericho—the strategic point

about to abandon the ministry to which he'd been called. In many
ways he lived with a deep sense of privilege. He had been chosen
and gifted to be a minister of the gospel, but he was tired, and
his work had taken a toll on his family. He was able to admit
that he said yes too much, sought to establish personal control
over too many things, and worked way too much. He had thought
that his deep dedication and unending schedule were the result
of the motivation and loyalty of faith, but in midst of his
exhaustion and his family's protest, he began to wonder. Could
it be that this life of frenetic energy and constant ministry

Pakatan can win more seats in Sabah and Sarawak this time around
but whether it will be enough to cause a political tsunami is
another matter. In the ancient Chinese military classics, it
has often been said that it is best to arrive early at the
battlefield before the war starts. Arriving early gives one’s
army ample time to set up camp, survey the terrain and take a
breather before the battle begins. Prime Minister Najib Tun
Razak has the advantage in the polls as he is the one who
dissolves Parliament. Coupled with the dirty voter rolls,
Pakatan Rakyat is certainly facing an uphill battle. Thus it is
imperative that Pakatan gets everything ready before the polls
are called. And one of the things to be finalised is seat
allocation and the list of candidates. So far, Peninsular
Malaysia is more than 80% completed. But the major problem is in

concerned about work-life balance? According to one urban
legend, based on 1950s pop psychology, workaholics are greedy
and selfish people who are bound to die from a heart attack. Not
really. As the great David Ogilvy once said: "Men die of
boredom, psychological conflict, and disease. They do not die of
hard work." This is especially true if your work is meaningful.
Most of the studies on the harmful effects of excessive work
rely on subjective evaluations of work "overload." They fail to
disentangle respondents' beliefs and emotions about work. If
something bores you, it will surely seem tedious. When you hate
your job, you will register any amount of work as excessive—it's
like forcing someone to eat a big plate of food they dislike,
then asking if they had enough of it. Overworking is really only
possible if you are not having fun at work. By the same token,
any amount of work will be dull if you are not engaged, or if

for rulers to control their subjects while avoiding revolution

Americans that the United States was also a user of mercenaries.
This has been the case for centuries, although it became more

For many, the holiday season represents a time for family

many households engage in holiday activities that serve as some

Christmas trees, candle usage and holiday decorations also
significantly contribute to the seasonal causes of home fires.
Add to that the hectic nature of the holidays, when people are

for home fires grows even further. "As everyone gets busier

Woolwich barracks in London has Britain questioning the
efficiency of their security services in monitoring Islamists to
prevent acts of violence. The British parliament has debated
internet regulation as a means to prevent radicalisation.
However, it remains possible that Lee Rigby’s death was equally
a result of MI5 recruitment processes. In the 21st century
western intelligence agencies face particular recruitment
challenges that are unparalleled in a Muslim-majority country
like Bangladesh. Following the September 11 attacks on New York,

victory Monday night, leaving manager Joe Maddon a ripe target
for second guessing. Mike Napoli, who turned out to be the
Rangers' slugging hero, had the first of the steals when he took
second with one out in the second. That one didn't hurt the
Rays, nor did the second, Craig Gentry's steal of second in the
seventh. But the final two turned out to be the difference in
the game. With two outs in the seventh and Gentry on second and
Ian Kinsler on first, the Rangers executed a double steal to put
runners at second and third. After Elvis Andrus walked, the pair
scored on Josh Hamilton's single to right, putting the Rangers
up 4-1. Second guessers will point at the fact that entering
the game, Kelly Shoppach had thrown out 41 percent of would-be
basestealers while John Jaso had thrown out just 17 percent. So
why did Jaso get the starting nod, particularly given the fact

Dylan Matthews of the Washington Post's Wonkblog officially

field doesn't exist. You really don't stand as good of a shot of

insider trading legal would make it clearer to individual

Keeping it banned creates an illusion of fairness that leaves
everyone worse off. Felix Salmon, arguing for bans on insider

luminescence of 15, whereas torches only provide 14. However,
placing the glowstone block in the ground reduces the area that
it lights up to that of a torch, whereas placing a torch on the
ground lets it provide maximum light while still remaining flat
to walk on, just not to look at. It all comes down to choice
really. Do you mind looking at torches sticking out of the

although I don't think it is customary. For example, it might
detect by looking at itself conditions it would divide by zero
and could find the simpler kinds of infinite loops. Neither
Turing's nor Godel's results say anything to the contrary. What
a computer cannot have is a program that will always decide
whether a version of itself somehow provided with infinite
memory (say by asking an operator to mount another tape) will
ever halt. Programs that sometimes answer the question are
possible, but Turing proved that a program that will always
answer correctly cannot exist. There is a finite version of
Turing's result. We can write a program D that given another
program P, and input for it, and a number n, will answer

1.229268 | 9.789838 | 22 | Take the 2-minute tour × I have a vector of pointers to an
object: vector<Foo*> bar; In a method, I am given an Foo
object and need to add it to the vector. This is my current
attempt: void push(const Foo &a){ bar.insert(bar.begin(), a);
I know this doesnt work because a was passed as a reference, but
I can't seem to get the pointer for a to add to bar. How can I
add a to the vector bar? share|improve this question I don't
understand the reason why you pass in a reference const Foo &a,
why don't just pass in the pointer void push(Foo *a) – Krypton
Oct 2 '12 at 4:06 I was having weird results using the actual
Foo objects – Flynn Oct 2 '12 at 4:08 In that case, the answers
down here should help – Krypton Oct 2 '12 at 4:10 It would be a
bad idea to merely pass the Foo by value, because you would then
be adding the address of a local Foo object that is
destroyed/dellocated when the function leaves. – Sion Sheevok

4.463548 | -4.291125 | 0 | Giant Bats Quiet Cubs at Fitch Park Tommy Joseph cracked a two-
run home run to lead the Giants to a 12-1 drubbing of the Cubs
in AZ Instructional League action at Fitch Park Field #1 in Mesa
this afternoon. (Field #3 remains unplayable in the aftermath of
the torrential rain and flash flood that hit Mesa Tuesday
afternoon). 18-year old Korean bonus baby Jin-Yeong Kim got the
start for the Cubs today, and was “lights out” through the first
two innings, retiring the side in order in both innings, and
striking out the side in the 2nd. But the youngster hit a wall
in the top of the 3rd, walking the lead-off hitter on four
pitches before allowing two singles and a double that ended his
day. Kim also suffered some type of right leg injury while
backing up 3rd base just before he was relieved, and was last
seen limping to the Cubs bench before getting a ride to the
clubhouse on a golf cart. Whether it was a groin, quad, knee, or
ankle, I don’t know, but I have a feeling we have seen the last
of Kim until next Marc |

a few things to add in there: - Boots, or some sort of
footwear. If you're like most of us you have a bunch of extras

too tough, a $5 4x4 tarp from Home Depot would work. - Water

-0.06803 | 9.848254 | 16 | Take the 2-minute tour × I need to typeset two columns of
equations, each row typeset with an equation number to the right
as with an ordinary equation. The first column must be centered,
and the second column must be left-aligned. There will be many
rows, so it must automatically break at a page break as
appropriate. There are plenty of related questions, but I can't
find any existing solutions that will let me do exactly what I
want. (It's a real pain the align environment can't take
optional column alignment specifiers.) share|improve this
question How are the equations going to be numbered? For
instance, will all equations in the left-hand column be numbered
independently from those in the right-hand column, or will they
share the same counter? – Mico Dec 15 '11 at 21:04 The idea is
that each line would have one number, typeset to the right, like
an ordinary align environment. The only difference to align is
that instead of rl column alignment, I need cl column alignment.

Pinterest... and Help Yourself While Doing It Posted: Updated:
Like nailing Jello to a wall, Pinterest is a bit hard to "get."
It's fairly easy to define the concept, "scrapbooking with high
viral potential," however many people, including many of my
clients, struggle to figure out if it has any worth to them.
For those who do not know, Pinterest is a visual curating site.
If you are on the Internet and see images that you just like,
you can "Pin" them to a "Board" you create on Pinterest. Say you
love cars, you can keep a record of car pictures you like in a
place you can always go back to. And... other people can follow
your love of cars that way. For individuals, the uses are easy
to understand. It's basically a place for you to keep track of
stuff you like that you see online. But brands? The key here,
that I continually drill into my clients' heads... with any
marketing technique, think WHY would someone engage with me this
way? And th |
-5.236592 | 1.75572 | 79 | This is a print preview of "lime cheesecake" recipe. lime
cheesecake Recipe by unhip squirrel This cheesecake is so
limey. Let me tell you about all the lime flavour in here. The
first layer above the crust is a tart and delicious lime
custard. Then, in the cheesecake itself, there's a bunch of
fresh lime juice and zest. The limes on top are just for show.
Take them off. They actually leave the stuff beneath a bit
bitter. I would have shown you the inside, except I simply could
not wait more than 30 minutes for it to chill before cutting
into it and it wasn't pretty. I'm sure you understand. Tips:
This cake is best made the night before an event. You can also
bake it the morning of an evening event. Anything less than that
and you could be pushing your luck. Also - you may think the
sour cream thing is weird. I thought so too, but I tried it
based on the epicurious reviewers comments, and it was awesome.
It also works to hide any cracks that may form if you're too
lazy to use a water bath. lime cheeseca |

receivers - Different Manufacturers I've been looking at
putting together a custom AR and I'm a bit stumped about the
difference in receiver manufacturers for both uppers and lowers.
Why do people choose one receiver (upper and lower) manufacturer
over another. I get the reason to be picky over trigger systems
(CNC is the way I'm going), but given an equally good
manufacturing process for receivers, why go with one over the
other. Why Black Rain Ordinance over Daniel Defense or DPMS?
What are the pros and cons of different manufacturers? I know
Black Rain uses solid aluminum billet machine milled rather than
forged for the lowers which, in theory, makes them stronger and
lighter. What else should I watch out for? What would you guys
recommend if you were putting together your dream long range AR
and why? dornjmd is offline Page generated in 0.05538
