Adam : Lorna
The cold of the steel as it pressed against my neck caused an involuntary shiver. She had moved with a grace that hid the deadly skill in her movements.
I hadn't realised I had silently approached her, but then, I suppose I do it with out thinking. Instinctual.
In the few seconds that passed, between being pinned to the column and now, I'd seen enough to know I wasn't in any true danger, not from her, not right now. I pride myself on reading people, and I am a pretty good judge of character. In her eyes, I could see a killer, but not a murderer.
"If you're going to do it....do it....."
I almost imperceptibility push forward against her arm across my chest. The steel of the blade doesn't move in her hand, as I press onto it. The sharpness of the edge, means I don't feel anything bar a slight pinching sensation as it starts to cut into my neck.
For a second that lasts an hour, in one of those crazy ways, our eyes are locked. Then I see her face soften, and the pressure of the blade against my neck eases. Thankfully. I would hate to play Lorna in poker....
"The next time you feel me put a blade to your skin, it will be the last sensation you feel. Am I clear?
I've looked at death, in many forms. Warlords on the African continent. Tribesmen in Indonesian jungles. Mobsters, of different nationalities. La Cosa Nostra, Yakuza, Russian Mafia, terrorist groups of every kind. The closest I've ever been to death though, was the drugged up 13 year old with his AK47 in Somalia.
Looking at Lorna's eyes, I know that she is a lady of her word. I make a mental note to walk louder around her next time.
"...clear as crystal hun. YOU, have a problem though..."
"Oh? Enlighten me. And, you can start with your name, or are we just to refer to you as 'him'?"
"Adam. My name is Adam. Or at least, that's what I've been calling myself for as long as I care to remember."
"Ok then, Adam, you say I have a problem? Again, enlighten me if you will.."
"The boy with the dead eyes, Henry?, he's your problem. I've met people like him before. Only a couple of time's thankfully. But, if I were you, I'd lock my door when you sleep at night. Or, ask your fella Jared to sleep with one eye open."
I catch an almost invisible blush on her cheeks, and being so close, see her pupils dilate.

iPod Touch Bluetooth Unlocked by OS 3.0
What? Huh? There's Bluetooth in my touchy little iPod Touch? It's probably a given that many consumers had no idea the device has Bluetooth capabilities, remaining dormant... until now.
In all the hoopla regarding the iPhone and the upcoming 3.0 OS, it's less-than-loaded half-twin, the iPod Touch 2G (second generation), sat just off stage, wishing it could chime in on some of the spotlight. But, instead of sulking and hanging its head low, the iPod Touch listened, waited, bid its time until someone caught on that the new OS update would unlock a secret treasure laying dormant within. No, it's not an Alien embryo waiting to burst through the cavity of its slick, touchscreen surface. It's another blue little demon altogether: the sacred Bluetooth.
For many consumers, the revelation of this feature is quite a pleasant surprise. But for tech-savvy fans who have kept up with the technology powering the device, they may already be aware of the Broadcom BCM4325 wireless communications chip planted within; it was discovered back in September 2008 in a hardware tear-down performed by iFixit. To be more specific, the uncovered Broadcom chip was found capable of single-band 2.4GHz 802.11b/g, dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11a/b/g. Additionally, it had Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support and an advanced FM receiver. Simply put, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities were already present in the iPod Touch, with the latter deactivated via software.
At the time, it was widely speculated that the chip was mainly used to communicate with the Nike+ iPod sensor puck accessory, however some believed that perhaps Apple had other sinister plans for the Bluetooth portion, and just wasn't in the mood to share the Bluetooth goodness just yet. Evidently the speculators were correct, as it's now official that the iPod Touch 2G is fully capable of Bluetooth audio and data transmission, able to carry out Bluetooth functions such as wireless streaming 2-channel audio with A2DP, wireless accessory control (perhaps for gaming), and peer-to-peer connections. The upcoming 3.0 OS will enable these features, costing consumers $9.95 to upgrade the current OS to 3.0.
It's not uncommon to see device manufacturers stuff their products with deactivated components, or locking said components via firmware by the request of the supplier. Many Verizon subscribers have lashed out at the wireless provider, having "locked" the built-in GPS chip in BlackBerry devices from 3rd-party navigational applications. Thus, Verizon Wireless customers must subscribe to its VZNavigator subscription service, shelling out an additional $10 per month just for it use alone (not including any data packages). As it stands, BlackBerry users on Verizon cannot use the real-time navigational features in other applications such Google Maps, Yahoo maps and so on, having to settle with triangulation options instead.
However, for a one-time fee of $10, the 3.0 OS upgrade for Apple's iPod Touch seems to be worth every penny, offering not only the new Bluetooth features, but other vast improvements that will make the device that much more useful and fun to play. With peer-to-peer connections, gaming will become even more prominent on the device, offering local multiplayer support previously limited to Wi-Fi connections.
Look for the 3.0 OS upgrade sometime this summer.
The SchnozSo let me get this straight. For only $10 I can use a feature in my iPod Touch that I should have been able to use from the beginning? Considering this is Apple thats a deal. I would have expected to pay much more!!!
Maybe Apple was just following a page from Sony's playbook. They're not ripping their loyal customers off, they're simply extending the longevity of their system. One purposely makes a system thats difficult to program for and the other disables a useful feature that everyone would like to use, denies its existence, and then charges $10 a pop to turn the feature on through a software download whle the hardware was sitting dormant the whole time.
Yep, they're both going to hell.
I wonder if this was some deal with the RIAA, disabling FM functionality. Imagine listening to FREE music on your iPod, highly unlikely. Forgetting the fact that the record companies get licensing fees from radio stations, the RIAA isn't going to let you listen to that music when you can buy it at 99 cents a song. That said, you can get FM radios at the dollar store, so hopefully no one thinks they're really missing out on a whole lot here.
My old Nokia Music XPress x5300 had an FM receiver, but it used the headphones for the antenna. I never found a whole lotta use for it.
Now, I thought the old iPods had BlueTooth functionality in them, is that not the case, is this the first iPod with BlueTooth?
AnonymousI dont understand the writers attitude towards this kind of treatment towards its customers. This is a bad trend. First Tivo charges people for no service. Already when you purchase the box, it is capable of recording and being used as a media center, but they lock that function. Now Apple starts charging for things that already is expected to be FREE in ALL electric devices. Next, you will be charged a monthly fee for using your purchased steering wheel or the brakes of your new car. This kind of tolerance for consumers must stop. They must exercise their frustration by boycotting these companies.
"However, for a one-time fee of $10, the 3.0 OS upgrade for Apple's iPod Touch seems to be worth every penny"
No, you can't use the new bluetooth upgrade to link your Touch to the internet. Makes me REALLY peeved. Fortunately, I figured this out before I purchased anything, so Apple is NOT getting any money out of ME for a firmware upgrade for bluetooth HEADPHONES. Geesh. At least my new SiriusXM app works GREAT!
AnonymousI've installed the 3.0 upgrade and, in my opinion, the $9.95 upgrade is not "worth every penny." Actually, it's practically worthless, unless you really wanted a landscape keyboard. The Bluetooth support ONLY works with speakers. I've tried pairing it with two different Bluetooth hands-free headsets, a hands-free speakerphone, and keyboards. None of them work. The iPod Touch bound with the Samsung hands-free speakerphone, but only works with the speaker, not the mic. No dice for Skype or other VOIP, which is the only reason I could think of to splurge for the upgrade. Ugh. Huge disappointment, Apple. Waste of money.
AnonymousI've tried to pair 3 different devices to my recently upgraded OS3 Ipod Touch. My PHS-3 headset, my 2005 Toyota Prius, and my Targus USB Bluetooth adapter. Nothing. I've never had good luck with Bluetooth. It's always such a pain.
What I'm looking for is a Bluetooth headset or headphones that will work with the Skype App on the Ipod Touch. I guess I'll have to buy an A2DP Bluetooth device now?? Bluetooth has always been such a sham.
lucOn Sat 6-20-09 I went to two Apple stores Palo Alto and Los Gatos, to find out if the Bluetooth enabled ipod touch would work with a mono Bluetooth head set. 7 out of 7 Palo Alto Apple employees didn't know that Ipod touch had Bluetooh, and had no idea if it would work with a mono headset. Went to the Los Gatos Apple store, 5 out of 5 didn't know that Ipod touch had Bluetooh but were able to figure out that it will only support stereo headsets.
Has anyone tried a stereo bluetooth headset that worked with the ipod touch?
Want to use Skype on my 2nd gen Ipod touch without having to be wired to it.
Weirdo0815I have a Plantronics Voyager 855 that works with my 2nd gen Ipod Touch. It at least works with listening to music and the mic works too. However, I can't get the headset to control the music playback. It doesn't Pause/Play, move Back or Forward in tracks. I know the headset has the function since it works on my Blackberry Curve 8330 and my wife's LG Voyager. The audio quality from the Ipod Touch actually is much better than my Blackberry.
I am having an issue with this pairing though. Every time I turn off the headset and back on, the iPod can't re-connect without forgetting the device and re-adding it. Its very frustrating.
My conclusion with the Plantronics Voyager 855 + iPod Touch 2nd Gen is its wonderful when it works but once the headset gets turned off, its back to square one each time.
Weirdo0815Let me correct something on my earlier post. The Voyager 855's mic does NOT work... it claimed it did but I hadn't actually tested it. I am sorry for the confusion. So the headset is only good for listening to music/audio and nothing else.
I would assume this is because Apple didn't put in the Bluetooth Profiles right on the iPod Touch version of the 3.0 O/S. I would expect an update to be released to fix this... or at least I would hope so. I too would love to use my headset with Skype via my iPod Touch.

I went to see Dr. Kirkland on recommendation from a friend who is a patient of his. My front tooth had a root canal as a kid and finally broke apart and had to be taken out. I did some research on dental implants and decided that this was the best long term choice so went to see Dr Kirkland for an evaluation. From the start of our visit I knew that this was the office I wanted to have my work done. He and his helpers are kind and knowledgeable! He explained the steps of getting an implant and showed me photos of other people he has treated for implants. The whole treatment time takes a few months but I knew this going in. The porcelain crown he made looks very natural and no one can tell it is even a crown! I have certainly stayed a patient of his for 4 years now and have recommended him several times. It is a good feeling to know that I have found someone caring and skilled at helping me keep my teeth strong and healthy.

Notebook: Rebounding Overrated?
For the first time this season and maybe in Oliver Purnell's three-year tenure at Clemson, the Tigers went to a zone defense themselves and discovered what it's like to be on the other end of a scoreless drought.
With just under 15 minutes left in the game, Clemson went to a zone defense out of necessity and it worked wonders as Georgia Tech managed just three baskets the rest of the way and the Tigers went on to the 73-63 victory Saturday at Alexander Memorial Coliseum.
It's the first ACC win for the Tigers (14-5, 3-3 ACC) away from Littlejohn Coliseum this year. It was also the first home conference loss for Georgia Tech (9-7, 2-3 ACC).
"I'm real happy to get a road win in this league at any time, particularly when you have a stretch of road games like we do," Purnell said. "You want to break those up and stay out of losing streaks in this league and if you do that, particularly when you win on the road, you have a chance to be successful."
On this day, it all clicked for Clemson. The Tigers made free throws, jump shots and played a stellar zone defense.
Trailing 57-50, Clemson's 2-3 zone forced the Yellow Jackets to go 3-for-16 over the last 14:19, as Clemson outscored them 23-6 down the stretch. Georgia Tech was just 2-fo-12 from 3-point range in the second half.
"The reason we went to the zone was that we had trouble guarding their double low post action with (Jeremis) Smith and (Ra'Sean) Dickey," Purnell said. "So, we went to some zone and we were successful and the reason we stayed with it was that it as successful."
As if that weren't enough, Clemson forced the Yellow Jackets into a season-high of 27 turnovers. It was the most by a Georgia Tech team since it committed 29 against Duke in January of 2002.
"One of the things we talked about was using pass fakes, but we didn't do that," Yellow Jackets coach Paul Hewitt said. "Every pass became an adventure. Credit to them for changing up the defense to see if we could adjust to it."
When the Tigers were on offense, it ran through center Akin Akingbala like it hasn't all year. Clemson was able to take some of the outside pressure off the guards by doing so, which enabled them to either penetrate or shot from long range.
Of course, it wouldn't have amounted to much if Akingbala didn't make his shots from in close or if the guards couldn't knock down the shots like against Miami. Fortunately for the Tigers, neither happened.
Akingbala tied his career-high with 19 points, which caused the defense to collapse around him.
"Akin can be a monster down there," Clemson guard Vernon Hamilton said. "Akin is a real dominant player, so we wanted to get him a lot of touches this game."
With the defense trying to smother Akingbala, the likes of Julius Powell and Hamilton were able to get open looks at the basket. Powell hit his last six shots, including four three-pointers, to tie his season-high of 16 points.
Hamilton finished with 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Guard Shawan Robinson added 15 points of his own, but eight of them came down the stretch from the free throw line to ice the game."
"In the ACC, every road win is big," Akingbala said. "In this conference, everybody beats up on each other and you've got to protect your home court and find a way to get some road wins."
As a team, Clemson shot 41.4 percent from the field, but more importantly it was 6-of-14 from 3-point range and 19-of-29 from the free throw line. But it was the defense that made Purnell happiest.
"We decided to not be frustrated and we knew that Georgia Tech was going to make some runs," Purnell said. "There are good athletes in this league and good teams and we're going to have offensive droughts. To keep things in perspective, we are a team that has to fight for 15 rounds and we can't deter from that and our guys clearly got that message today."

Read an Excerpt
By JOHN MACARTHUR
David C. CookCopyright © 2012 John MacArthur Jr.
All rights reserved.
A senator concluded his resignation letter with this honest admission:
Over a period of years, as I drank the heady wine of power and influence, my priorities in office became distorted. Success and recognition were foremost; honesty and adherence to the law were not at the center of my focus. Like some others before me, I placed undue emphasis on raising funds, on achieving political status and on impressing my friends. Strict compliance with the law would have allowed me to perform my public service without becoming the center of one controversy after another over the years.
I wish my colleagues well and it would please me if someone benefits from what I have said and rededicates himself or herself to staying clear of the line.
When you are willing to walk close to the line, whether for political success, personal gain or to help your friends, you risk waking up one day to find out that you have long since crossed a boundary that you vowed you would never cross. That is where I find myself today.
Goodbye. Good luck. Thank you. I apologize. Please include me in your prayers.
The former senator was not the first to drink the heady wine of power and influence and cross the boundary between right and wrong. Nor will he be the last. Today many people sacrifice honesty on the altar of prestige, power, and influence. It might seem hard to believe, but the first crossing of that boundary took place in heaven.
In the beginning no war or rebellion existed. No one opposed God's sovereign rule or voiced animosity against His holy purpose and will. But then a disastrous event occurred, marking the beginning of spiritual warfare.
Thus says the Lord God, "You had the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering: the ruby, the topaz and the diamond; the beryl, the onyx and the jasper; the lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; and the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, was in you. On the day that you were created they were prepared. You were the anointed cherub who covers, and I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked in the midst of the stones of fire. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created until unrighteousness was found in you. By the abundance of your trade you were internally filled with violence, and you sinned; therefore I have cast you as profane from the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, that they may see you. By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; it has consumed you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the eyes of all who see you." (Ezek. 28:12–18)
That passage speaks of a being so complete that he possessed the seal of perfection. It cannot be referring to a mere human being. Furthermore, in verse 13, the writer said this sublime creature was "in Eden, the garden of God." Clearly this prophecy is an indirect reference to Satan, the serpent—the adversary who was in the garden of Eden.
In verse 14, the writer identified him as "the anointed cherub who covers." God designed the ark of the covenant with two angels—one on each side, spreading their wings over the mercy seat. These angels were called covering cherubs. They represented the angels associated with God's holiness, covering the place where atonement was made between God and humans by the sprinkling of blood. The covering cherubs were subservient to this magnificent angel, "the anointed cherub"—the highest angelic creature in the presence of God's full glory and holiness.
Scripture mentions angels and archangels, cherubim and seraphim, rulers, principalities, and powers. Those terms indicate that God designed an angelic network to carry out His bidding. Here, then, was an angel of supreme rank, created by God to be the anointed cherub.
The Fall of Satan
This highest angel was blameless from the day of his creation. The day came, however, when unrighteousness was found in him (v. 15). What unrighteousness was specifically found in him? His spirit of rebellion against God. "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty" (v. 17) reveals that this archangel allowed his perfection to be the cause of his corruption. That sin was not an inherent part of the being God created, but later issued from within him because of his pride.
Verse 18 was God's response to his sin: "I have brought fire from the midst of you; it has consumed you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the eyes of all who see you." God cast this angel out of heaven to be eventually destroyed.
Isaiah recorded the event:
How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning ["Lucifer," KJV], son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, you who have weakened the nations! But you said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit. (Isa. 14:12–15)
The name Lucifer means "star of the morning" and "son of the dawn." Satan means "accuser." Lucifer became Satan when God cast him out of heaven. "You have been cut down to the earth" (v. 12) speaks of his fall. Jesus said, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning" (Luke 10:18). The preincarnate Christ was a witness to Satan's fall. Note Lucifer's repeated use of "I will" in Isaiah 14. It reveals his pride, and that pride produced discontent. He wasn't satisfied with being top angel anymore; he wanted to be like God Himself.
In verse 15, God responded to Satan's sin: "You will be thrust down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit." Satan's rebellion will ultimately end in his own destruction. Revelation 20:10 prophesies Satan's final end: "The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."
The Army of Satan
When Satan fell, he did not fall alone. In Revelation 12:4, John said he "swept away a third of the stars of heaven." In verse 9, John identified the stars as fallen angels or demons allied with Satan. Although Satan is a tremendously powerful creature and influences many governments and nations, he is not omnipresent like God. His work is augmented by one-third of the angelic host.
How many is one-third? We don't know. We do know that angels do not die (Matt. 22:30). There are as many angels today as in the day of their creation. There's no diminishing or adding to their ranks. Scripture describes the number of holy angels as being "myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands" (Rev. 5:11). The Greek word for myriad means "ten thousand" and was the largest number the language could express. Perhaps there are too many angels to count.
Some of the fallen angels are bound in everlasting chains (Jude v. 6). I believe they were the angels who sinned at the time of the flood as described in Genesis 6:1–7. Because these "sons of God" cohabited with humanity, producing a mixed race, God drowned their offspring in the flood and bound the angels with chains. Perhaps God has put more and more demons into that pit throughout redemptive history. In Luke 8:31, the demons at Gadara "were imploring [Christ] not to command them to go away into the abyss." Other demons are bound temporarily. According to Revelation 9:2, some demons will be released during the tribulation.
Satan's army of demons is highly organized, for believers struggle "against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph. 6:12). The Greek construction, using the word translated "against" repeatedly, separates each category of demonic beings—rulers, powers, forces of darkness, and spiritual forces of wickedness. "Rulers" and "powers" obviously refer to demons who have high ranks in the satanic hierarchy. Perhaps "world forces" refers to demons who have infiltrated the political structure of the world and are influencing decisions from behind the scenes. "Darkness" speaks of hell. In Matthew 8:12, Christ called it "outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
People often ask me if I believe there is a global conspiracy of evil organizations trying to gain control of the world. I don't believe there is such a conspiracy on the human level. But I know from Scripture that there is an unseen spiritual global conspiracy involving demons in high places, and many humans and earthly organizations are unwitting participants in it. The Old Testament says that the gods of the nations are demons (see Ps. 96:5; 1 Cor. 10:19–20). In 1 John 5:19, John said, "The whole world lies in the power of the evil one." Satan is the "god of this world" (2 Cor. 4:4), and so he controls much of what occurs in the events of this world.
Satan's Targets
Christ is Satan's primary target. Why? Because the divine plan was "that through death [Christ] might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives" (Heb. 2:14–15). Satan unsuccessfully endeavored to destroy the messianic line so Christ couldn't even be born. At the Savior's birth, King Herod issued a decree to find the Child and slay Him (Matt. 2:16–18). That was a satanic plot. When it didn't work, the devil tried to conquer Christ in the wilderness (4:1–11). At the cross, perhaps the devil thought he finally had defeated Christ, but Christ proclaimed His victory over the hellish forces (1 Peter 3:18–20), gloriously rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven.
Satan opposes everything Christ does. Christ revealed the truth (John 1:17), but Satan conceals the truth. In John 8:44, Jesus said Satan "does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
Christ gives life, but Satan takes life. The one who trusts in Christ as Savior and Lord "has passed out of death into life" (John 5:24). However, Satan "was a murderer from the beginning" (8:44) and has "the power of death" (Heb. 2:14).
Christ produces spiritual fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal. 5:22–23). But Satan loves the fleshly fruit of "immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these" (vv. 19–21).
Christ permits tests or trials in our lives to help us grow spiritually (James 1:3), but Satan lures us with temptation to destroy us (1 Peter 5:8). Christ sets believers free (John 8:31–32), but Satan enslaves the lost (2 Tim. 2:26). Christ defends believers (1 John 2:1), but Satan accuses them (Rev. 12:10).
Today Satan continues to oppose the work of Christ. He will fight against Christ when He returns and will finally be dealt with when he is cast eternally into the lake of fire.
Holy Angels
Holy angels are another target of Satan and his demons. A holy angel appeared to Daniel and said:
Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this [information regarding Israel's future] and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. Now I have come to give you an understanding of what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days yet future. (Dan. 10:12–14)
Daniel had set his heart on understanding why his people had not returned to Israel, so he fasted and prayed for a lengthy period of time (vv. 2–3). A holy angel appeared to assure him that God was not indifferent to his prayers. God had heard them on the first day, but delivery of His answer was delayed for twenty-one days.
The angel explained that the "prince of the kingdom of Persia" had detained him (v. 13). The context reveals the prince spoken of here was not a man. No mere man could withstand an angelic being. Perhaps this was a demon indwelling the king of Persia. His position was to influence the events in Persia and hinder God's plans for Israel's future. His relationship with Persia was ongoing; he would fight the angel again later on (v. 20).
God sent the archangel Michael to release the unnamed angel from conflict (v. 13). Michael is mentioned two other times in the Old Testament (10:21; 12:1) and twice in the New Testament (Jude v. 9; Rev. 12:7). It seems God has given him the special responsibility of guarding Israel. Apparently God has assigned certain holy angels to specific nations to carry out His purposes. Possibly Michael is the highest of the angels. He and the holy angel fought against the demon prince of Persia. Together they were victorious.
Once the Persian conflict ended, the holy messenger would begin fighting the prince of Greece—the next great world power (Dan. 10:20). Satan works at the highest levels, trying to thwart God's divine program. When Persia was in power, apparently Satan assigned a demon to that empire to influence its affairs against God. About two centuries later, when Greece came to power, he would assign another demon to that nation. This holy messenger would be there to fight against them, and Michael would be available to give help at any time (v. 21).
The book of Jude provides another glimpse of cosmic conflict. In verse 9, Jude says, "Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, 'The Lord rebuke you!'" Why did the devil want the body of Moses? We really don't know. Perhaps he wanted to display the body, so people would worship it as an idol. Throughout history people have worshipped artifacts. Whatever the reason, Michael appealed to the Lord Himself. Unlike so many "experts" in spiritual warfare today, Michael did not rail at the devil or rebuke him. He invoked the Lord's name. Evidently he prevailed in the conflict. In Deuteronomy 34:6, the writer said that the Lord buried Moses "in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no man knows his burial place to this day."
Throughout history the powers of darkness have furiously tried to wipe out the nation of Israel, knowing it is crucial to God's eternal plan because of the covenant He made with Abraham. Israel's history is a chronicle of persecution and holocaust. The mass murder of Jews under Hitler's regime was only the latest in many centuries of demonically motivated persecution. During the great tribulation, a holocaust of even greater proportion will exist on earth as Satan attacks Israel, but God will supernaturally protect her (Rev. 12:4–6).
Believers are yet another target of Satan. In Revelation 12:10, a loud voice in heaven proclaimed, "The accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night." Satan brings vicious accusations—and so much more than that—against all who believe in Christ. We'll take a closer look at that conflict in the remaining chapters of this book.
What is spiritual warfare? A war of universal proportions pitting God and His truth against Satan and his lies. It's a battle of wills between God and Satan. It's a cosmic conflict that involves God and the highest creature He ever made, and it filters down to every human being. Satan and his army of demons are fighting Christ, His holy angels, the nation of Israel, and believers. The battle lines are clearly drawn.

Courtesy of Kevin Patrick, here's a more detailed look at Horwitz, Maurice Bramley and The Phantom Commando. You can find Kevin's articles in the Australian magazine Collectormania, but if you can't get a copy then drop Kevin an email and I'm sure he'll help you out. Until then, enjoy!
The Phantom Commando
By Kevin Patrick
Stanley Horwitz made his fortune from war. No, he wasn't an arms dealer, or a spy who sold military secrets to foreign powers.
Instead, Stanley Horwitz (1921 – 2001) made his money from the works of Australian writers like J.E. Macdonnell and W.R. Bennett, whose bestselling war novels formed an important part of the Horwitz Publications' empire.
During the late 1950s, Horwitz expanded its publishing activities into comic books, launching a mixture of locally drawn titles and reprints of American comics, including many Western and war titles from the Atlas/Marvel Comics line, such as Two-Gun Kid and Combat Kelly.
John Dixon, who by this time was doing cover paintings for many of Horwitz's war paperback novels, was approached to create a new comic for the company.
Dixon responded with The Phantom Commando, an adventure comic set during World War Two. Wearing a simple, Lone Ranger-styled mask beneath his flying helmet, The Phantom Commando was Bruce Harcourte, a fighter pilot who flew combat missions in his rocket-equipped P-51 Mustang from his secret island base in the Indian Ocean.
The Phantom Commando's identity is known only to his mechanic, 'Tiny' Winkle, and his girlfriend Julie Standish, who works for Allied Intelligence.
Having drawn the aviation comic Tim Valour for a decade, Dixon was reaching his artistic peak when he produced the first issue of The Phantom Commando in 1959.
Sadly, Dixon had to relinquish the comic after just three issues, to concentrate on his newspaper strip, Air Hawk & the Flying Doctor.
The Phantom Commando was taken over by Maurice Bramley (Born c.1910), a prolific magazine illustrator who'd worked on such publications as The World's News since the mid-1930s.
Bramley began working for Horwitz Publications in the late 1940s, illustrating covers for the company's line of Western paperback novelettes, under the 'Sporting Western' imprint.
By the time he took over The Phantom Commando in 1960, Bramley was the principal cover artist for Horwitz's war and Western comics, as well as contributing strips to such titles as Frogman and Navy Combat.
Under Bramley's hand, The Phantom Commando went roaring into action over Europe, flying everything from Sunderland Flying Boats to Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers.
Bramley also ignored Dixon's original concept by recasting The Phantom Commando as a mysterious, masked aviator, who aids the Allies on all battlefronts in times of crisis.
He even intimated that The Phantom Commando might, in fact, be immortal - but any resemblance between him and a certain Ghost Who Walks is purely coincidental!
'Tiny' Winkle drops in and out of the series, while our hero's wartime girlfriend Julie Standish appears to have been dumped for the blonde Sally Saxon - whom he leaves behind in Sydney, when he races off to war once again in 'Flames Over Korea' (PC#16, 3rd series, c.1970).
It's not "all war and no play" for our hero. A one-page strip, 'The Commandos, featuring the Masked Trumpeter' (PC#8, 1st series, c.1962), shows The Phantom Commando hitting some high notes as a big band trumpeter, with 'Tiny' Winkle on the drums!
Occasionally, The Phantom Commando takes a back seat to narrate some one-off war stories, all written and drawn by Bramley, such as 'Polaris' (PC#14, 1st series, c.1963) and 'Gators Smell Blood' (PC #15, 1st series, c.1964)
Despite these occasional absurdities and lapses in continuity, The Phantom Commando remains an immensely entertaining comic.
While Bramley never possessed Dixon's slick art style or command of storytelling techniques, his scratchy pen line lent a suitably grim 'look' to The Phantom Commando.
Sometimes Bramley clearly poured a lot of effort into a key panel, or a character portrait, producing truly dramatic images.
The Phantom Commando is also significant because it was the last, original Australian comic of the postwar era.
Horwitz Publications produced two series of The Phantom Commando. The first series ran for 16 issues, published on an irregular basis between 1959-1964.
The second Horwitz series confusingly starts with #13 and only lasts for two issues released between September-October 1965. (Horwitz ceased publishing comics altogether the following year.)
Roger Morrison's 1997 price guide, Australian Comics 1924-1966, claims the second series ran for issues #13-18, with #15-18 appearing after 1966.
However, it is possible that issues #15-18 of The Phantom Commando actually comprise a third series, published by Page Publications Pty. Ltd. (Surry Hills, NSW), on an irregular basis between c.1967-1970.
The original Horwitz editions all have a one shilling (1/-) cover price, with slick covers and bear the Horwitz "Teenage Code of Approved Reading" seal on the cover. The Page Publications editions have 12¢ and 15¢ cover prices, do not have slick covers and don't feature the Horwitz seal. Page Publications is also clearly identified as the publisher on the inside back covers.

My lungs fill with air,
But I'm not breathing.
I'll talk to you all night
But I'm not really speaking
You look at me,
But are you seeing anything.
We'll hug goodbye.
But it's empty of all emotion
Because deep down I know.
I'll always need you,
But you'll never need me.
I hide it all from you
To protect you from truth.
And as time passes,
Along with our youth
You will see I was
Your miss right
Though you were blinded
By lust for miss nice.
I've waited for you,
But now the time has come,
Do you love me, can we be together at last?
"No, my love for you is in the past"

Contemptuous Hearts
The wind howled through the trees and Jade's hair whipped against her face. The water in front of her was black in the darkness of the surrounding forest. She heard a branch crack behind her and she instinctively moved into a defensive crouching position.
"Whoa there tiger, only me," came the voice from the darkness.
"Jordan!" she hissed, eyes flashing, "You... Grrr! What did I tell you about following me out here?"
"Uhhh Privacy blah blah blah, rude blah blah blah, rip your throat out if you do it again" he mimicked, "but was I supposed to let you grieve out here on your own? Let the guilt take over? Let you go burn yourself? No. No way."
"What do you mean, grieve?" She growled, her perfect face betraying a hint of sadness.
"You know what I mean. This is where they died. Where they were thrown onto a bonfire like Guy Fawkes."
Jade narrowed her eyes.
"You dare ever speak like that about my family again and you'll be the one on a bonfire."
"I'd prefer a stake through the heart, more ironic," he said, winking.
"Might I suggest you get lost? Go home, its dark. Your mother will worry."
"Jade, I dont sleep, I dont eat, and I can defend myself so very well. She hasnt got a thing to worry about."
Jade raised one eyebrow and stood up straight.
"Well, so can I," she said, flexing the beasts of muscles that hid beneath her perfect snowy skin and shapely arms.
"I know," He said, winking.
"Shut up you flirt," she mumbled, a ghost of a smile playing about her lips. Jade was in fact perfect in Jordans point of view. Her pale skin was flawless, her lips a pale pink, her eyes piercing green. That was why her mother and father had called her Jade. Her jade-green eyes.
Jades parents had been killed by enemies, who had been passing through and decided to wreak havoc amongst the locals. Thing is, theres only a few ways to kill them. Vampires. Thats what Jade was, and her mum and dad, and Jordan and his family.
Jordan had been torn from his biological family when he was just 14. He had been hidden away, for a year and then a coven of vampires found him. They turned him into one of them, and took him as their own family.

I am a retired Suffolk County Cop. I addition to collecting and shooting guns I also enjoy Corvettes and old cars. AZ was one of the places at the top of my list till I did some checking and found out they have a personal property / wheel tax on cars. I own a 1962 and 1996 Corvette plus a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee, plus I hope to buy a nice used class A diesel motor home. The annual wheel tax would drive me broke there. That is why I am leaning toward Texas or Tennessee ( as far as I know there is no wheel tax). Pensacola Fla. seems like a nice place without a wheel tax. But owning a 1962 Corvette (it is pretty rare because it is a numbers matching car with fuel injection and power windows) has been a lifetime dream of mine and after seeing the damage from last years storms I am afraid to move there. If I lost it and got a lot of money from the insurance replacing it wound be almost impossible. The 1996 Vette probably isnt all that special but it is pretty special to me because I bought it new with all the options and with museum delivery. It is a silver collector edition and the last of that body style. Basically I am looking for a warm place with a lot of property and low taxes (no wheel tax). I want to get away from over crowded neighborhoods and traffic jams. Property tax on my house is a bit over $4,500 per year and sales tax is 8.75% anything less would be better, and from what I have heard most places are less.Originally posted by Moondoggie
My friend\'s reception was @ his Gramdma\'s farm a few miles East of the Hamptons. I thought that it was incredible to be on an old farm that close to NYC. Even more incredible was the pink Cadillac hearse that exited the barn and the Elvis impersonator that came out of the coffin to do a 1 hr gig complete with backup singers.....courtesy of the father of the groom who is a retired Suffolk Cty PO and former pres of the local PBA.
On the way from the wedding to the reception I passed several produce stands with tomatoes on the tables that were the size of cantaloupes...I swear!
Interesting neck of the woods that you live in! In your quest for a southern tax/gun friendly state I would suggest AZ/TX/FL.

Just in case if you weren't aware, Daily Thoughts is dead, Weekly Thoughts is here. The second I realized that I didn't want to do a Daily Thoughts, I stopped. Writing is fun to me and I don't want it to be a burden. Now doing it every week should make things easier for me and your timelines. Here's the news from this past week:
Sony Announces PSN Day 1 Digital Program
NEWS: Sony is bringing some PS3 retail games to the PSN, day 1. Everybody can pre-order the games but PlayStation Plus users will get a 10% discount when pre-ordering. No word yet on midnight launches or if you can download the GB game beforehand so it doesn't take you hours and hours of waiting.
THOUGHTS: Very good idea on Sony's part. I don't really want to have discs upon discs of games lying around because they take up what little shelf space I have. I would much rather buy some of these games digitally. The way I work is I try games through GameFly and then if I really love them then I buy the game. This does mean I'm missing the PlayStation Plus perk, but $6 is practically nothing. Only problem I can think of is having to re-download games if I run out of space, but even that isn't too big of a deal. Anyway, I'm happy that Sony is bringing Day 1 Digital to PS3 and I see myself downloading a couple of these games if I like them. For the record, the only reason I don't download retail games to my Vita is because the Memory Cards are absurdly overpriced. I would rather have the tiny cards lying around than fork over $100 to get a decent card. What upcoming games do you want to download?
Ivan Reitman May Just Remake Ghostbusters
NEWS: When Ivan Reitman was asked about Ghostbusters 3, he said, "I think Ghostbusters probably should be remade, if we can get it all right. We're working on it, so we'll see."
THOUGHTS: Stop. I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan and I don't want a remake or a third film. The original still holds up today and parents should be giving their kids that film when they're old enough. Yes most of the visual effects are outdated but hopefully the next generation will look past that and enjoy the film and pass it along. I didn't think Ghostbusters II was bad but it certainly wasn't as excellent as the original. I don't think a third film or a remake is necessary. Do you want another Ghostbusters movie? Yes, there's a correct answer.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 -- Everything We Know About Zombies
NEWS: We have details on Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies. There's a campaign mode called Titled Tranzit where you play through multiple zombie areas with the same goal: defending yourself against zombies. In the campaign you can build parts of the world and make weapons using something called "buildables." Survival is back with maps inspired by Titled Tranzit levels. Zombies will have a new competitive multiplayer mode called "Grief." You and three other people battle against four other players and you both have to defend against zombies and be the last team standing (you don't shoot each other). There's also a Custom game feature so you can create your own Zombie games.
THOUGHTS: Zombies is fun, I get that, but I got tired of zombies pretty quickly in the original Black Ops. I loved zombies right away but as I kept playing I started to care less and less. I see myself getting through Titled Tranzit and playing through some Survival and Grief but unless people make some really sweet Custom games then I still don't see Zombies bringing me back again and again. Yeah, Call of Duty really needs to step things up if it wants me to give into the $60 asking price. Expect a review from me after Black Ops II comes out on November 13. Are you excited for the new additions to Zombies?
Mass Effect Trilogy Set Announced
NEWS: BioWare announced a bundle of the three Mass Effect games called the Mass Effect Trilogy. The bundle can be purchased for $60 on Xbox 360 and PC on November 6 with a PS3 one coming at a later date. Yes, the original Mass Effect is coming to the PS3 in the bundle and as a standalone PSN title (no word yet on release date or if it will come as a standalone retail disc).
THOUGHTS: YES!!! I've always wanted to play the original Mass Effect but never could without an Xbox or PC. I did the digital comic with Mass Effect 2 but I couldn't get into it. I wasn't sure who I was killing or what I was doing and I found it less enjoyable. Mass Effect 2 is still a fun game but now I'm waiting for the original to continue my playthrough. I already have Mass Effect 2 and 3 so I'm just downloading Mass Effect on PSN. I'm excited to finally be able to play through these games with no worries. Are you picking up Mass Effect on PSN?
NEWS: EA has canceled NBA Live 13. EA Sports executive vice president Andrew Wilson said that "over the past few days, it's clear that we won't be ready in October. And rather than launch midway through the season, we're going to sit out the full year and stay focused on making next year's game great." NBA Elite 11 faced a similar fate in 2010 and there wasn't a NBA Elite/Live 12 last year. This was supposed to be the next game in the series but is canceled. This makes the last EA NBA game NBA Live 10 which was released on October 6, 2009.
THOUGHTS: I'm not too big on sports or sports games so I can't really say I'm disappointed about NBA Live 13's cancellation. All that needs to be said is that NBA Live is dead. Yes, it is dead. They're saying it's coming next year and it probably will be but will it be any good? Whenever games get delayed like this, it's very rare they turn out good. It also sucks for EA as 2K Games has been putting out these apparently amazing (I haven't played any of them) basketball games for the past few years. NBA 2K13 is coming out on Tuesday and IGN recently gave it a 9.1. Metacritic and GameRankings only have the IGN review up so we'll see if other sites agree. I think EA should throw in the towel, know they screwed up, and focus on something else. Will you be picking up NBA Live 14 next year?
NEWS: Apple CEO Tim Cook has apologized about the Maps application on iOS 6. Apple dropped its original Maps application and YouTube due to their differences with Google. Apple is now getting its false geographic information from TomTom. Apple apologizing is kind of a shock but it gets even better when Tim Cook actually recommends using other Map apps. "While we're improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating on your home screen to their web app."
THOUGHTS: HA! I think it's actually kind of funny that Apple is apologizing but that HA also goes to the idiots at Google. Google put out a YouTube app launch day for iOS 6 so why didn't they put out a Maps app too. So many people would download a Google Maps app if they could and Google is missing this opportunity for not doing it. I also think it's funny that Apple is apologizing. I read Steve Jobs's biography and you learn that Steve was a stubborn individual. This made Apple a stubborn company that doesn't work well with others. It's sad that Steve is gone but Apple is being dumb not easing up a bit. The differences between Google could've been settled and both companies could've been happy but Apple is still doing it the Steve Jobs way which doesn't work all that well. This just makes things harder for the consumers that keep both companies alive. Apple needs to ditch TomTom and go with somebody else or fix their problems immediately. What other problems are you having with iOS 6?
Microsoft Offers Rewards for Xbox Achievements
NEWS: Microsoft has introduced a new program called MyAchievements that gives you rewards based on your Gamerscore. There are three levels you can achieve. If you have 3,000-9,000G then you are a Contender. This means you get a surprise gift on your birthday month. If you have between 9,000G and 10,000G then you are nothing I guess. If you have 10,000-24,999G then you are a Champion. This means you get a surprise gift on your birthday month and a 1% rebate on Xbox Live Marketplace purchases every month. If you have 25,000G or more then you are a Legend. You get a surprise gift on your birthday month and a 2% rebate on Xbox Live Marketplace purchases every month.
THOUGHTS: You listening Sony? I'm a huge trophy whore and I play some of the worst games ever made for trophies. I recently platinumed Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and only got a boost in my trophy level. It would be awesome if I got something back for it. 2% rebate sounds cool but isn't really that much and that might make things difficult with PlayStation Plus. The surprise gift is probably something for your Avatar because I doubt Microsoft is giving you a lot through this as you can do what I do and play easy kiddy games for Achievements. If this program works for Microsoft then I hope Sony follows suit. What 1,000G or Platinum Trophy are you most proud of?
That's the big news this week. I like Weekly Thoughts a lot better than Daily Thoughts and I will continue like this. Writing a little each day and having a massive essay at the end of the week cleans things up and keeps things organized. As for the actual news, there are some decently strong stories with Ghostbusters, Black Ops II Zombies, Mass Effect, and NBA. This has been a much better week for news than the previous couple of weeks. See you all next week.

MELISSA POLIMENI, PRESENTER: This story is about a Canberra athlete. His surname is Jordan, he was born in England. He trains with the Woden Swim Club and he competes internationally for Zambia. Sounds confusing? It's actually a pretty simple story about a suburban teenager with big dreams.
Chris Kimball reports.
ZANE JORDAN, ATHLETE: I was born in Doncaster in London, so yeah and I lived there for about three years. I lived in Zambia for about six years, then back to England again and then I came here. So I've been all over the place, really.
CHRIS KIMBALL, REPORTER: That's quite a journey?
ZANE JORDAN: Yeah, it is.
ZANE JORDAN: Well, my father is Zambian, so I got a Zambian passport. So I've got dual citizenship, so then I started representing Zambia, just local meets and then I qualified and started swimming at these major meets and pretty much went on from there, you know.
STEVE YOUNG, COACH, WODEN SWIM CLUB: Three back for you, alright? A stroke count for your 50s for fly on breaststrokers. Ready?
CHRIS KIMBALL: Zane Jordan is not your typical Olympic swimmer. Instead of having a heavyweight sports institute as backing he shares lanes with kids' swim classes and the public at the humble Woden Swim Club.
STEVE YOUNG: We've got to fit in with everybody. He doesn't have a lane to himself, or two kids in one lane. Last night we had 16 kids in a lane.
ZANE JORDAN: Not a lot of people have the same opportunity I have, so I'm trying to take advantage of it as much as I can and hopefully in the future it will work out for the best.
CHRIS KIMBALL: That opportunity was a surprise chance to compete on the world's biggest sporting stage, moving from club meets and country carnivals to the Beijing Olympics.
What did it feel like walking into that stadium at the Olympics in a Zambian tracksuit?
ZANE JORDAN: You can't explain it, you know. It was probably one of the best experiences of my life.
STEVE YOUNG: It's brilliant, very good. It just gives you a bit of exposure. An Olympic year makes more kids want to go to swimming. You'll find they'll pick up a little bit, numbers will pick up.
CHRIS KIMBALL: How exciting was it to have one of your club mates go to the Olympics?
CIARAN PLENTY, WODEN SWIM CLUB: Yeah, it was good. Sort of weird seeing him, like, we got to see his race on TV and that was strange, because he was always in the water with us.
CHRIS KIMBALL: What about being a swimmer in Africa? There's not a lot of African swimmers represented over the years, is it something you take pride in as well?
ZANE JORDAN: I do. I do take a lot of pride in trying to raise African swimmers, you know. There's not a lot of swimmers there but you have to start everywhere.
CHRIS KIMBALL: Zane is a few seconds off elite pace but trains seven days a week and aims to become a genuine contender. He's not a feel-good participant like Eric the Eel, the entrant from Equatorial Guinea at the Sydney Olympics.
ZANE JORDAN: I'm training a bit harder. I don't want to be a sideshow like Eric the Eel. I don't want people to look at me like that but I train hard like everyone else.
STEVE YOUNG: He could probably go a lot further, keep working harder and doing that sort of thing. Certainly going to London representing Zambia, that would be good. Maybe we might volunteer and help Zambia a little bit as a coach, you never know.
CHRIS KIMBALL: What do you know about Zambia?
STEVE YOUNG: Not much. Not much at all. We just treat him as one of ours. He's a Woden Swim Club swimmer. Doesn't matter what country they're from.
ZANE JORDAN: I know a lot about Zambia. I lived there had for seven years. I know a great deal about it. I go back, not often, but quite a bit. But yeah, to represent Zambia is just awesome.
CHRIS KIMBALL: Zane will swap his club cap for Zambian colours later this month. He'll compete in five events at the world championships in Rome and once again, will rub shoulders with the giants of world swimming including American superstar Michael Phelps.
STEVE YOUNG: We're not going to make a final or anything like that, but if we do PBs you can't do any better. That's the best you can do, and have a good time. Get to see Phelps and all those. I remember him coming back from Beijing; he was very excited to have Phelps in the lane next to him in a warm up.
CHRIS KIMBALL: What did it feel like when you first jumped in the pool next to Michael Phelps?
ZANE JORDAN: Oh, I felt just really nervous. I can't explain it. I was just kind of lost for words. I looked over and I'm swimming next to the best guy in the world.
CHRIS KIMBALL: Do you think he was going back to his team mates and saying, I just swam next to Zane Jordan?
STEVE YOUNG: Not yet, but he will be later on.
CHRIS KIMBALL: Do you reckon you'll get him?
ZANE JORDAN: Give it about four years, yeah!
