We have a ton of raptors and even a pair of our own resident pair of Bald Eagles known fondly as Klaus and Gwendolyn. If you are a birder don't miss a trip!
I do want to point out the garden that everyone always overlooks, my lovely shade garden which runs the back of the mansion along Corgie. I really suggest that you don't miss this when touring all the gardens. Shade gardens are always special and full of so many unusual and exotic plants. As always there are the back bones of hundreds of varying hostas and wonderful fern from tiny ghost and maidenhair ferns to huge ostrich and cinnamon ferns. Then there are the Brunnera, which are relics from the age of dinosaurs. There still is always color from the swaths of Astilbe, Primrose, Digitalis, Nicotania, and I recommend the shade garden as a quiet and soothing place for a glass of wine or picnic lunch on the bench for a respite from the heat of the day.
Stay tuned for more Cape May news. Learn more about Southern Mansion Cape May Bed and Breakfast.

During May 23-24, there was a workshop called 'Edge Computing Using New
Commodity Architectures' at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. As
the title says, the workshop is to review and discuss new computing
architectures such as GPUs.
My talk is basically the summary of the workshop, so I'll briefly introduce three new commodity architectures: Multi-core CPUs, The Cell Processor, and GPUs. Especially, I'll focus more on the GPU architecture because I have successfully implemented the GPU-based tensor voting which is about 30 times faster than the CPU-based implementation, and believe that your current framework also can be run fast with GPUs if it satisfies some requirements.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump on Thursday endorsed a higher minimum age for buying certain rifles and tighter background checks for purchasers, saying "there's nothing more important than protecting our children," amid a public outcry for action after the Florida school shooting.
MADISON, N.C. (AP) – Remington, the gun maker beset by falling sales and lawsuits tied to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, has reached a financing deal that would allow it to continue operating as it seeks Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The Tennessee chapter of Moms Demand Action picks its battles judiciously. Once labeled as a bunch of anti-gun extremists, the group is anything but, spokeswoman Kat McRitchie says.
"We seek common ground. We work with legislators on both sides of the aisle. We're nonpartisan," McRitchie explains. "We're simply looking for common-sense gun solutions, which the majority of Americans support."
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama, at one point wiping tears from his cheek, unveiled his plan Tuesday to tighten control and enforcement of firearms in the U.S., using his presidential powers in the absence of legal changes he implored Congress to pass.
It's another blood-pressure-raising Tennessee legislative session – at least for a politically active group of moms concerned about their children potentially being shot.
This spring, lawmakers who want to loosen gun restrictions will get a morale boost from a three-day National Rifle Association convention. It coincides with consideration of several gun-related bills, including one that would eliminate the need for a firearms permit altogether.
WASHINGTON (AP) – With 3-D printers increasingly able to produced plastic weapons, the House voted Tuesday to renew a 25-year-old prohibition against firearms that can evade metal detectors and X-ray machines.
NASHVILLE (AP) – Proponents of a measure that allows school districts to hire individuals with prior law enforcement experience say it's a needed option for financially strapped schools.
NASHVILLE (AP) – A proposal that would allow school districts to hire retired law enforcement officers for security advanced in the Legislature on Wednesday after being approved by the governor.
GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) – From Oregon to Mississippi, President Barack Obama's proposed ban on new assault weapons and large-capacity magazines struck a nerve among rural lawmen and lawmakers, many of whom vowed to ignore any restrictions – and even try to stop federal officials from enforcing gun policy in their jurisdictions.
While many of the most controversial issues of the coming merger of Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools are still to be decided, the issue of how to handle school security appears to be settled.
SCHOOL LESSONS IN HEROISM. On Friday morning, Dec. 21 – one week after semi-automatic gunfire swept through elementary school classrooms and the nation, murdering innocence – one week after a Memphis police officer stood between a bullet and you and me, giving us all she had – a single two-ton bell in the tower of Idlewild Presbyterian Church rang 29 times. Once for officer Martoiya Lang, 20 times for the children of Newtown, six times for their teachers and, unlike anywhere else I'm aware of, once for the shooter's mother and once for him. Each is the toll of madness, of misplaced priorities and violence, of the belief that more armed violence is not only a righteous solution but a constitutional right. And of a country where it's easier to buy an assault rifle than vote, easier to buy ammunition than Sudafed.
The 26 children and adults who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut will be remembered locally Friday, Dec. 21, with several ceremonies.
The 26 children and adults who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut last week will be remembered locally Friday, Dec. 21, with several ceremonies.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Spurred by a horrific elementary school shooting, President Barack Obama vowed to send Congress new policy proposals for reducing gun violence by January.
"This time, the words need to lead to action," Obama said Wednesday. He tasked Vice President Joe Biden with leading an administration-wide effort to create the new recommendations and pledged to push for their implementation without delay.
NASHVILLE (AP) – Gov. Bill Haslam said Monday that he expects the Connecticut elementary school massacre to stir new debate in Tennessee about gun laws, as well as better ways to help those with a mental illness.
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — A shooting at a Connecticut elementary school Friday left 27 people dead, including 18 children, an official said.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still under way. Another official, speaking on condition of anonymity for the same reason, said the gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown was killed and apparently had two guns.
Six Tennessee schools have been selected to compete for the 2010 Blue Ribbon Schools award, including Douglass School in Memphis. The national award recognizes academic excellence. To compete, schools must be invited by the U.S. secretary of education.
Larry E. Potter, presiding judge of the Memphis/Shelby County Environmental Court, has received Keep America Beautiful's (KAB) Iron Eyes Cody Award. The award was named in honor of KAB's landmark public awareness campaign of the 1970s, "People Start Pollution. People Can Stop It," which featured the iconic face and tear of Iron Eyes Cody and is credited with awakening the environmental consciousness of an entire generation. Potter became the first Environmental Court judge in Memphis and Tennessee in 1983. During that year, he helped create the court.

Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity, complete with friendships, investigations, and supernatural dreams along the way.
Providing an intimate window into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi's inner turmoil will challenge Christians and Muslims alike.
©2014 Zondervan (P)2014 Zondervan
A fascinating insight into Islam and the person perspective of a Muslim.
The grappling with the core beliefs of Islam and Christianity were well explained and and put simply enough you don't need a theological doctorate to follow the arguments and counter arguments.
Overall, very helpful.
"Great insight into Islam"
I am a Christian, so this was a fascinating listen. I would highly recommend it to any Christian looking to understand more about the differences between Christians and Islam.
"Thank you"
Having a most loved granddaughter, who became a moslem a few years ago and is now married to a moslem.
i am a very devoted follower of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ seeking to share the gospel as GOD enables me. We still have a loving relationship. I wanted to read this book as with this knowledge of Islam I look to GOD to guide me in my conversations with Naomi & her husband Mahmoud. I would say I found the dialog was abit long winded at times
"Powerful biography"
Nabeel is searching for the truth. His unwillingness to compromise takes him down a path he doesn't want to take. He resists, argues and drags his feet in the face of losing everyone he loves. An amazing, moving story that this incredibly brave man shares so well. God bless you.
"Fascinating, reads like an episode of CSI"
But it is an autobiography!
Which could be a service to humanity.
I read it because of what IS are doing in the name of Islam, I had assumed IS were a perversion, it appears not.
Had never appreciated before the magnitude of the choice Jesus represents!
"Great book!"
This is a great book and I highly recommend it. It's very touching and you can really feel Nabeel's pain as he uncovers the truth.
"A dangerous narrative"
Mid way through this book I realised that this was a dangerous narrative, dangerous because of the sacrifice of an established world-view and the consequences.
I was thankful that the author narrated his own story - this added to it's authenticity.
There was a section of dialogue in a cafe; the words that came to mind was conceited arrogance, but I endeavoured to re-think my opinion and it changed to 'the fear of losing the foundations of what you have built your whole life upon, a striving....but ultimately 'fear' that leads to an outward edifice that tries to mask it. And I realised how easy it is to bunker down in our belief system.
I have learnt much about Islam and for this I am thankful. I have learnt something about myself and attitudes.
In the latter section of the book as the narrative builds and reaches it's conclusion the utter pain of this man's journey was palpable.
I commend this book to you.
It was awesome, just awesome! Everyone should read this book! It's smart, it's stirring and it will change your life.
All of it.
Feeling, connectivity.
Yes, it stirred me.
"absolutely incredible!"
My dear brother in Christ, you have inspired me more than other Christians i knew for many years. I am so greatful to have read your book. God bless you!
"Explains how Muslims misunderstand Christianity"
Excellent. Shows us arguments Muslims use to refute the deity of Jesus and their flaws.
"Excellent and in-depth"
Honest, Real and In-Depth
The honesty of his gut-wrenching conclusions and the decisions he had to make.
Everything. He was telling his own story, and it showed. No fakeness here.
A film that will make you think.
This is a must-read or must-listen to. Goes very in-depth into both faiths, and believe me, the author did NOT want to come to the conclusion he came to... it's a fascinating and honest journey, one that took a great deal of courage to share. Good job, my brother in the Lord.
This is one of the best books I have listened to.
I recommend it highly because:
- it is brutally honest; it does not sugar coat the conversion experience
He shares his journey "warts and all"
- It is highly informative and educational; I learnt much about Islam
- It is highly inspiring
- It is well presented and enjoyable to listen to.
The author is very articulate and communicates not only observable actions but also intent and feelings on his explorative journey. I was highly engaged listening to it. There were numerous times that I was teary eyed as I associated greately with Nabeel's conversion.
I cannot recommend it enough.
"A Must Read/Listen"
This story is deep in meaning, and very enlightening. It is a call for Christians to better understand their faith, and to love more and deeper as it is Christ's love that leads people to Jesus.
I gained a far greater understanding of Islam in a non-textbook format. There are Muslims that love others, and there are Muslims that hate others. Muslims do seek for all to join Islam as all Christians seek for all to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior in their lives. The problem is that a large group of Muslims understand their faith very well and try to attain a pure Islamic world by the sword.
Thankfully, the book revolves around a Muslim family exhibiting great love. That love is pure. The parents only want the best for their children, and that is for them to be great ambassadors of the Muslim faith. Nabeel Qureshi was that ambassador and natural apologist.
Mr. Qureshi was called by Jesus through a friend's introduction. The key is that Mr. Qureshi honestly and humbly sought the one and true God. At first he had no doubt that god was Allah, and then the true God revealed Himself to Mr. Qureshi.
The beauty seen in this book:
1. Love is the key to bringing people to Christ Jesus.
2. Always seek God with all your heart and you will find Him.
3. You may be called to give up all you know, have, and love for Him.
3. Whatever your faith, know it to the core from the holy books that define it.
4. Be brave. The joy and safety for Christians has nothing to do with our lives in this world, but is the salvation through Jesus. On this world we are to be used to do God's will for His plan. "My thoughts are not your thoughts. Neither are my ways your ways.", says the Lord. Death and pain are unavoidable in this world. God is not Santa Clause.
Again, it was a great read/listen. The story meant much to me, and I will listen again.
"Strengthen my faith !!!"
Loved. Finished it in one day. Nabeel is truly amazing !!! This has changed my views about my Muslim friend.
I typically stay away from conversion stories because so often they are written like children's stories. As a pastor, out of a feeling of obligation, I'll read one on occasion anyhow. I was so pleasantly surprised by this one. I simply cannot say enough good about this book. It was very deep, and gave me an appreciation for Islam in the process. This book challenged my beliefs and grew my faith in God. Read it, you won't be disappointed
"Excellent, must-read"
I am also a Christian that came from a Pakistani family and was raised Muslim. I can relate to much of Nabeel's story. The strength the the apologetic presented in this story is amazing.
No, though I did finish it in just a few days. The story was so compelling.
Nabeel's story is very well written, and well narrated
"Western Background and Subset of Islam"
God shows up!
I would have given this book 5 stars except for three things. First, my own (admittedly mistaken) preconception prior to beginning the book that the author was born and raised in the Middle East. He was raised in the west. One would expect that the thinking process of the author, like any third culture kid, would be influenced by the culture in which he lives (I had been expecting to read about what God is doing in the lives of people in the Middle East, where the emphasis on submitting to authority can only be greater ). Secondly, the author comes from a sect of Islam which most Muslims do not consider as "part of the fold". And thirdly, for long stretches this book read a bit too much like an apologetic work instead of a personal story/testimony.
However, this isn't a book of dry facts. God Himself shows up dramatically in a brief scene halfway into the book and even bigger at the end. Secondly, the author's western background and his former brand of Islam does not negate how God has worked and will continue to work in his life. And the information on his Islamic sect can be helpful to other seekers or persons desiring to share with seekers. This book was not only a good read, but listening to the author himself narrate on the Audible version and hearing his passion at the end was an even bigger plus. May God continue to raise up an army of evangelists like Nabeel!
"An excellent reason for the author to narrate"
Very much so, since the author could correctly pronounce the Arabic words and Pakistani names and references. The emotion the author has also comes through at appropriate times.
This was an autobiography so this isn't as relevant a question. The friendship between Nabeel and David Wood was well displayed.
This book wasn't performed like some since it was the author telling his story so he didn't make up different voices but told it well, still.
I was impressed how Nabeel was able to convey his deep sense of loss of losing his identity as a Muslim and the grief it brought his family.
I heard a number of interviews about the book and I felt that I would have missed out if I hadn't listened to the book myself.
"Awesome Book"
Yes. It's easy to follow along and captivating.
Nabeel Qureshi
Seek and You Shall Find
This book made my cry. Everyone should read this book. Those who have dug for the truth will be able to read through this book and it will remind them of their own journey and re-energize them. I hope for others this helps them, whether they are just starting the process or are already engaged.
"A Captivating Story"
This is one of my top favorite audiobooks.
The insight into his muslim faith, and the "Eastern" mindset.
Listening to him speak in Arabic made the story come alive. It is a beautiful sounding language.
No extreme reaction. It had some parts that made me smile, and some parts that made me moan in sadness a little.
The story of Nabeel's conversion to Christianity was amazing. It is not uncommon for Muslims to have dreams and visions which lead him to Jesus. However, it is less common for us westerners to have the same experience. Hearing his experiences has deepened my faith, and my love for Jesus.

Bonnie Addario, a lung cancer survivor and founder of the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation (ALCF), discusses support groups for patients with lung cancer.
Addario says that there are not very many lung cancer support groups. Many patients with lung cancer have difficulty traveling to support groups as they have had surgery or their disease has compromised the lung. Addario's group invites guests such as David R. Gandara, MD, who spoke at the 14th Annual International Lung Cancer Congress, to speak at events. These events are also streamed over the Internet, so that more patients can experience the benefit of a support group.
As Tony S.K. Mok, BMSc, MD, FRCPC, said at the International Lung Cancer Congress, Addario says, innovation is crucial. The days are over when a patient simply did what they were told regarding treatment; patients are now their own advocates and are making sure they're getting the best treatment. In any phase of treatment, the goal should always be to treat a patient in the best way possible.

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah E. Harkness
The vampire believed that monogenesis explained everything – or at least he had in 1859. Matthew thought it was possible that daemons, humans, vampires, and witches shared common ancestors.
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Even then she refused the procedure and the comfort it would give her, and on the day the cure was to be administered it took four scientists and several needles full of tranquilizer before she would submit, before she would stop scratching with her long, sharp nails, which had gone uncut for weeks, and screaming and cursing and calling for Thomas. I watched them come for her, to bring her to the labs; I sat in the corner, terrified, while she spit and hissed and kicked, and I thought of my mom and dad.

Dreams Groove
- Artist: Cyberchump
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 7/30/2002
|your cart is empty
Dreams Groove is the first CD by cyberCHUMP. It has a combination of organic and electronic grooves with electric guitar and sampled voices from shaman and gurus. This CD is an eclectic collection of grooves that take you on a journey through dark atmospheres and outer space. Review: Cyberchump: Dreams Groove (Internal Combustion - 2000) (8.2/10) Dreams Groove contains a lot of both... I want... brainwashing is just one of the messages conveyed through wacky samples in NerveNut, a jammin' slab of electro. Quietly pattering tribal beats lead into Drums in Sleep to be joined by swaying bass lines and hypnotizing guitar duets. Backed by beats and static-blasted radio voices, transcendentally serpentine bass and guitar weave through Stalking (3:09), heading into tropical territories. The Force offers some jangly, rockin' fun; in this track and others, borrowed samples appear, often to amusing effect. Soft freeform soundstreams flow through Crystalize (7:35), buoyed by big lolling bass waves peppered by hyperactive cymbalism. Besides the panoramic guitar-meets-electronics tune-scapes and clever musicianship therein, you've got to give Jim Skeel (High & Low Guitars, Samples, Loops, Machines, Manipulations, Keyboards) and Mark G.E. (Keyboards, Monster Bass Keyboards, Accordian, Theremin, Machines, Noises, Voice) some credit just for possessing the cojones to name their project Cyberchump! -AmbiEntrance.

NEW YORK (MainStreet)—Michael Cavacini is an aggressive investor who studies personal finance books for information and regards commission-based financial advisors as salespeople. At 28, the Philadelphia communications professional is a member of the Millennial Generation, but his attitudes also place him among a recently invented group called Generation D.
The "D" stands for "digital," according to Accenture, the consulting firm that created the classification while studying changing investor attitudes. It could also stand for "distrust," however. Along with being savvy users of social media and other 21st-Century communication platforms, this group -- which actually spans several generations -- displays marked misgivings about the financial community, especially banks and financial advisors.
Also see: Six Ways to Fight the Gen Y Stereotypes That Keep You from Getting a Job
A perception that the last recession was to some extent caused by financial services industry missteps underlies the suspicion of financial advisors that Accenture's studies revealed, says Alex Pigliucci, global managing director of Accenture's wealth and asset management services unit. "They weren't sure if they were really salespeople or trusted advisors looking out for their best interest," Pigliucci said.
In the absence of warm and fuzzy feelings toward financial advisors, Gen D investors tended to look online for information about investing and to comparison shop vehicles and providers. Yet when they went to financial institution sites, Pigliucci said, they found technology a step or two behind what they could get from other vendors like retailers.
Wall Street wants to know about attitudes among Gen D investors because the 75 million members of Gen D hold $27 trillion in assets. And it's a cross-generational group that isn't covered by existing demographic studies. About half are 31- to 45-year-old Gen Xers. The rest are split almost equally between 21- to 30-year-old Millennials and 46- to 70-year-old Baby Boomers.
Accenture characterizes Gen D overall as generally active investors with more income, education and assets than most, and a strong digital involvement. Within the group, Millennials are the most skeptical, Gen Xers the least confident and Boomers the most trusting. Millennials are also significantly more likely to be conservative investors than are Boomers.

Millennial member Skye McIntyre describes her investing style as conservative, mostly because she doesn't feel confident about her investment knowledge. The 27-year-old Boston public relations account supervisor says she stays up on financial news about topics like unemployment and interest rates. When it comes to advice on investing, however, she is likely to rely on her parents or employer.
McIntyre could see herself going to a financial professional for advice, but only if she felt she was viewed as more than an opportunity to generate a commission on a sale. "If I felt pressured when seeking their advice, I'd look elsewhere for answers to my questions and suggestions as to where and with whom to invest," she says.
The findings came from surveys of more than 1,000 people, followed by smaller focus groups. Generally speaking, the investors' attitudes stem from two of the most important developments of the last several years, namely the Great Recession and the rise of digital social and mobile media.

Among the consequences of the shift are a major mismatch between the typical Gen D investor and the typical financial advisor, who tends to be older and less digitally savvy. To cope, financial firms are hiring younger advisors and trying to develop their social and mobile brands.
None too soon, a lot of work is going into digital platforms and recruiting, Pigliucci says. "This industry is changing and is going to change rapidly," he says. "And it's behind the curve compared to other industries."
Behind the curve doesn't sit too well with Gen D investors like Cavacini. He's confident he can readily acquire the critical skills to invest wisely on his own, and plans to do so through reading and consultation with knowledgeable family and friends. Should he desire professional advice, he intends to seek it from fee-only planners as opposed to commissioned brokers.
Cavacini is determined not to be financially strapped when the time comes to retire. He expects to accomplish that while still devoting a good portion of his income and assets to philanthropy. And he's aiming high when it comes to where he wants to wind up.
"I want to be a multi-millionaire," he says. "Not so I can tell people about it but so I can live comfortably and never have to worry about basic necessities."

Which Console Did You Buy/Receive Over The Holidays?
On the surface, Gallop Racer 2001 is a well-done visual and aural work of art. To back that up there is a wealth of gameplay and features to feast upon. First up is the sheer volume of horses that you have to pick from. The amazing thing is that each one is subtlety different from the next. You need to get to know your ride before you can enter the winner's circle. To help you out on your quest to that coveted wreath are a simple control theme but, like Othello, can take a lifetime to master. There is a certain rhythm that you will need to find somewhere along the line that coaxes the most out of your horses.
One of the greatest things about this game is the vast sense of accomplishment that you feel when you manage to win your first race. Fortunately, you can watch the whole thing again in the instant replay mode and bask in your moment of glory. And soak it up you should, because with the way things go you'll probably get stomped in the next race. There are so many factors involved in your success that you just can't rely on your horse to be up to the challenge every time. Also, which horse you are riding plays a huge role in how you run your race. You need to take into account several traits of your horse and put together a game plan based on his (or her) strengths. I can guarantee you that what works on one horse will fail on the next. With the 1500 plus horses that you can come across in the game it could take a lifetime to learn to ride them all successfully.

Win…and Lose? A Gamestop Giveaway!
It's that time of year when many of us may be thinking:
- "I really need to lose 10 lbs…"
- "I want to spend more time with my family…"
- "I want to find more balance in my life…"
- "I need to stop eating chocolate-covered cinnamon bears…" (ok, maybe not that drastic) LOL
Sound familiar? Yes, it's the good ol' "New Year's Resolutions."
But this year, I'm just going to add more to my plate (not the dinner plate…) but the idea that I want to do "more of this…and less of that" kind of idea. Maybe something like this:
- "I'll play more with my kids…and work less."
- "I'll read more…and watch less."
- "I'll eat more (whole foods)…and eat less (processed foods)"
- "I'll run more…and sit less."
- "I'll enjoy life more…and worry less."
You know, that kind of thing. Nothing too drastic. Nothing over-the-top-and-be-done-with-it-2-weeks-later, kind of thing. Which all leads me to this week's sponsored giveaway from Gamestop.
This week's theme with Gamestop is "Family Time" and a DIY Dish viewer is going to win a bundle of any 3 games of their choice from this list: – Hasbro Family Game Night 3, Just Dance Kids, Kinectimals, Donkey Kong Country, Little Big Planet 2, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Super Mario Glaxy 2, uDraw, Wii Party, or Eye Pet. Our family has played the "Just Dance" game and it was a total blast! We laughed so much and really got a fun workout from it too!
You have 2 ways to enter!
1. Visit GameStop's "Play Your Way" website and tell us a game you think your family would enjoy playing together. Come back to The DIY Dish blog and let us know what it is.
2. Leave a comment here and let us know one of your "New Year's Resolutions".
This contest is open to a world-wide audience, 18 years and older. Void where prohibited. Entries will be accepted from 1/20/11 and close on 1/25/11. A winner will be chosen by random drawing and announced on the blog on 1/26/11.
Have a wonderful week!
-Kim and Kris
P.S. Don't forget to catch this week's episode of The DIY Dish — it's a Valentine project you can put together in a day!

Fancy yourself as a bit of an artist? Then head over to the SFX website to submit your drawing for their latest Doctor Who competition.
The premise is simple, after the good people behind SFX saw a picture drawn by one blogger called Molitorious of a zombified Doctor Spock (from Star Trek) the ideas bell started ringing. Now they want you to submit a zombified Doctor Who picture for their approval.
The article states:
"It could be in the form of a painting, a pen and ink drawing, a cartoon, a pencil sketch, a crude PhotoShop montage… whatever you want. And you don't have to be the world's greatest artist – a crude daub that makes us guffaw is just as likely to make the final cut… It doesn't have to be Matt Smith – it could be Karen Gillan, or old Doctors and companions, or even enemies and monsters – we'd quite like to see a zombie Cyberman, actually. And a zombie Zygon would be wonderfully alliterative.â€
The selected winners will be published on the SFX website and maybe even the magazine itself.
So what are you waiting for? Draw up a zombified version of the five Doctors, or Sarah Jane trying to eat Luke's brains. Or even a poor zombified K9 (ok, I don't know how that last one qould quite work).
For details of where to send your finished work, visit www.sfx.com, the closing date for the competition is tomorrow 23rd October 2010!

Going along with my sunset pics, thought I'd post up some other interesting sky shots... lightning. I love watching lightning, and one time the conditions were right to try and photograph it. I think it was two summers ago. There was a nice front moving across the western sky and it was not raining where I was (yet), and I had some time to kill. Never tried it before so I just had to figure it out as I went. There was a ton that didnt capture any and a few that did but didnt turn out well (experimented with various settings as I went along) and these few were the best ones. Wish I had nicer equipment, this is all shot with just a Canon S5 digicam, and I know some are blurry, etc.
[Edit] New pics added post #9

I really can't write everything I wanted to- childish letter home detailing first day at camp- on my cell phone and still get asleep early enough to be up at 6 for more awesome fun at Camp Skeletor!
A few things I take from today.
-Communicate clearly with your team mates and try to have one of those plan things.
-Geometry, cut off the enemy's angle of coverage through well covered team movement- see that first bit about communication and a plan.
-Practice these tactics with whomever you believe you maybe seriously using them; going back to back through a room isn't going to work too well if you only ever did it once at camp.
-Watch the hands, waistband, pockets and feet from a low ready once you've established dominance over and compliance from your target, but really mostly watch those hands as they are what will do the killing.
-How to visually inspect the target and detain him till the police arrive- the knee on the back of the neck position with an arm bar was particularly satisfying.
-How to use cover; stand back a bit, keep your arms in, don't hug the wall.
-Tap, rack, bang... but for an AR-15 :-D
-Flash light and gun positioning and use. The gun fighting understanding of light- which I found interesting to compare and contrast with the photography understanding of light.
There was plenty of retread on things I'd done before, but frankly I'd only ever done those things a few times before so I needed the refresher and I need a lot more practice.
Great first day at camp!

Day 2 of Camp Skeletor has come to a satisfying conclusion. Since we missed our practical flashlight demos last night, we started off with working the 5 basic flashlight holds/usage while doing some large room searches...rotating our techniques so everyone could get an opportunity to try each out for themselves. We then did a quick debrief of yesterday's training.
The real start of our day began on today's curriculum we split up into three groups. Each group worked on a specific method of training while we rotated to a new group every 90 minutes. We worked on basic close quarters battle methodologies including: open/closed doors with 2,3, and 4 man room entries, dealing with rooms within rooms, going up/down steps, long hallways, long corners, and deep corners. After a long lunch, we came back to large room entries, use of flashlights while room clearing and mass room entries. We then combined 14 people into one large team and cleared several long hallways and large rooms.
We took a dinner break and let it get dark...and once again combined our team into one large group and began clearing the large, cavernous, underground passageways which ran two sets of basements deep. I'm not exaggerating when I say that we cleared about 40 large rooms, stairwells, and passages; some as large as 120'x120'...all with interconnecting passageways and all pitch friggin' black...with the occasional, flickering overhead flourescent bulb. We cleared the both basements over the course of about 2 hours without catastrophic results, deaths, or accidental decapitations. A really great group effort. I simply can't wait until tomorrow when our "Force on Force" segment begins and our campers can really put together everything that we have taught them and hopefully are able to negotiate our obstacles without getting shot...well, too much anyways. =)

So much of what we are doing relies on shooting one handed while manipulating a light. I really did not train one handed shooting before but now I realize practicing it is indispensible.Lone Wolf McQuade Final Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmrDe_mYUXg

Second day of camp accomplished!
Lots of solid tactical team work I've never done before- great learning experience. Between hallways, rooms and stairs I think I would prefer being the last man on the end of 12 person double stack going down a hallway ;-)
There were a few instances where I felt the disadvantage of my vision, but I wasn't hurting nearly as bad as I'd feared.
Honestly though, the darker things got the more comfortable I was, and that hell hole we were in was DARK.
To give you an idea of what we were dealing with, I found a bloody machete on top of an empty 50 gallon chemical barrel in side a chain link fence partition of an underground, abandoned industrial complex. I half expected Leather Face to start picking us off one by one.
I'll try and get some good environment shots to give you all a better idea.
Eagerly looking forward to shooting and being shot at tomorrow.

A significant percentage of the population suffers with nutrient deficiencies for many different reasons. Depleted soils, processed foods, and the average American diet are all highly to blame. However, nutrient levels in the body are controlled by much more than simply what a person eats. Different factors affect the fate of the nutrients you consume. How your body processes nutrition is as important as what enters your mouth. Improper digestive and gastrointestinal balance and function can sabotage the efforts of even a conscientious eater. Nutrient deficiency can lead to chronic disease and conversely chronic illness can lead to nutrient deficiency. For individuals who are ill, or for healthy people acting proactively, deficiencies should always be considered. There are tests that can determine if a person suffers with inadequate vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, essential fats and other fundamental necessities for optimal health.

Some important antioxidants include glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin E as well as enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase and various peroxidases. Low levels of antioxidants, or inhibition of the antioxidant enzymes, cause oxidative stress and may damage or kill cells.
Oxidative stress appears to contribute to the development of many human diseases, and has been linked in particular to stroke, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, the pathologies caused by diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegeneration in motor neuron diseases.
A low calorie diet extends median and maximum lifespan in many animals. This effect may involve a reduction in oxidative stress.
