http://press.discovery.com/uk/dsc/programs/sci-fi-season/ UK fans can catch my props, weapons and military/preparedness advice(what they took), my location scouting, and my daughter's lead acting (and my son as an extra), in this show, May 20th.  US release to follow soon.

Morrigan is the girl in the red shirt in the promo shots.  http://www.MorriganSanders.com

Film location was Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, where my wife was a plankowner.  One of the neat things about the place is that you can destroy almost anything on site as long as you pay to repair it.

I provided uniforms, helmets, armor, gear, 100 weapons from old double barrel shotguns and a sporterized MAS 36, all the way to AKs and M4s (though they didn't use even close to all of them).  I was on set as armorer and military adviser, and my daughter is the girl with the alien artifact.  Eric is in several scenes as a casualty/victim/fleeing child, etc.

This is for everyone who believes Judgment Day is 21 May, 2011.

That day is supposed to be the "Rapture," as described by one "John," hallucinating from malnutrition, bad food and screaming diarrhrea in a Roman Prison (which certainly makes him a reliable witness to things that haven't happened yet), as interpreted by several people, most of whom are illiterate in the Latin, Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew of the original documents of the time.

At least, it is if you believe that, in direct contradiction of scripture:

"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 

"But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be" ...

"Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming, But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 

"Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Matthew 24:36-44

However, if, in contradiction of that (While believing in the literal truth of it, don't ask me how), you believe that you are possessed of special knowledge as to pending Judgment, I'd like to buy your house.

You're sure you're going to be taken up in this Rapture, so you won't need it.  I'll offer $500, which you can use for a fantastic, all-trimmings meal at any restaurant, or give to some homeless person to make his last hours on this fragile Earth happy, complete to a Bible and sermon of your choice.  It's your money.

In exchange, I wish to take possession of the house that you won't need and won't exist.

I'd like to sign this contract on 17 May, allowing three days for it to become final (per IN law), and you may keep possession until 2359:59 on 21 May.

Midnight of 22 May, I'm showing up for my house (Which will no longer exist due to Judgment Day) (No, I'm not interested in debating Judgment Day vs the later End of the Earth.  The point is, you'll be in heaven and won't need it.)

So pony up.  I've got a cashier's check waiting.

If you won't, then maybe your faith is just a wee bit lacking?

Funny...mine's not.

http://www.unclehugo.com/prod/ah-williamson-michael.php They just emailed about the signing sheets, so anyone who's been waiting until the last minute, it was 23 minutes ago.

I DID write about hunting AQ in Pakistan way back in 2005, in "The Scope of Justice." http://www.amazon.com/Scope-Justice-Michael-Z-Williamson/dp/0060565241/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_8 Please ignore the hype from the publisher.  It's more sophisticated than they make it out to be.

Granted, I don't think it was much of a surprise to anyone in operations.
