Surviving the Apocalypse:the End is Nigh

Well at least it may be, watch the news and search for the truth. Study history, it does repeat itself. Protect yourself because no one else will. Prepare for the worst because it probably will be. Don't trust politicians, they lie no mater what the party. There are good people out there, but the bad far out weigh them. That's pretty much it. Keep your heads down and you eyes open. Good Luck All

In defense of the Bat'leth

-

With the new Star Trek series on the horizon and the numerous changes (horrible in my opinion) the show runners have made to the beloved Klingons the topic of the Bat'leth has been bandied about on forums and Youtube recently. A great number of these comments have consisted of words such as stupid, dumb, unusable, and ridiculous. Many making these comments are self proclaimed "experts" and others obviously have never held a edged weapon beyond a Mall Katana and certainly have never held a Bat'leth. While I would never say the Batleth is a great weapon it is far from the useless peice of crap that these so called experts would like to believe. So lets start with a couple of facts about the origin of the Bat'leth. The Bat'leth was created by Dan Curry in 1990 for the character of Worf in TNG, curry was a martial arts practitioner and has said he took inspiration from Deer horn knives,  Curry also developed a fighting style with ritual dance like motions,...

Surviving the Apocalypse: Insurance

-
I guess right after toilet paper the most important thing to have in a apocalypse is knowledge. The problem with knowledge is it's sort of like insurance if you wait to get it until SHTF then you really are SOL. The good thing is, thanks to the dreaded internet the information is out there if you have the ability to sort through the huge piles of crap to find the few grains of knowledge that are useful to you. A few of my favorite places to look are Google books, there are a multitude of free to read period books that contain info on living in the days of yore (before electricity, public utilities etc.). Mother Earth News, a long time supplier of info and DIY projects that could be helpful in a apocalypse, and of course Youtube, unfortunately it takes much sifting to find truly useful info that is not a self promotion. Bottom line search a lot now while you have time. Find what will be useful to you in your situation and discard the rest.

World War Z the audio book

-
Ok. First for any of you who actually read this I have to apologize for not posting recently. I could say it was because of some life changing even, but the truth is I just haven't felt up to it...so again sorry. Now to what this is about, I recently had the opportunity to listen to the unabridged, 12 hour, movie tie-in, audio book of World War Z by Max Brooks. First let me say I have no idea what kind of experience reading this work of fiction would be like, but listening to it was a truly enjoyable experience. It is a intelligent, well thought out, and realistic portrayal of a world wide zombie epidemic and it's aftermath. In my opinion it is by far the best zombie fiction out there, and the fact that it is preformed by a full cast of exemplary actors is just icing on the cake. I've read a lot of reviews that are negative, comparing it to all of the other hack and slash zombie flotsam and jetsam that is out there, and while it does not have the structure, the hero saving...
