Comments about Vic Firth Steve Smith Signature Drumsticks:
This stick is .005" smaller diameter than Vic Firth's 5A and the same length but has a much better feel. The elongated, somewhat barrel-shaped tip gives it a less flexible feel on the cymbals (like japanese oak sticks) and a firm, well-controlled, bounce off the heads. It has a great feeling finish applied as well. These sticks won me over. They are at a great price too.

Rob Grabowski-USA TODAY Sports

After parting ways with the Boston Bruins, it appears that veteran winger Jaromir Jagr is close to making a decision regarding where he will be playing out the rest of his career. Jagr still has plenty left and teams know it as they have tried to bring him in. Reports have circulated that Jagr is now ready to make a decision and will likely pick an NHL team within the coming week. There remains an outside chance that Jagr could head back from to the Czech Republic, where there have been rumors of his return. Perhaps there is no substance to this rumor about his return home, but stranger things have happened.

The choice that is unlikely at this point is bringing back Jagr to the Boston Bruins. Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli has cooled down speculation of new arrivals when he said that the team is laying low for now after the busy start to the offseason. It appears that the Bruins are considering other options, especially moving up Jordan Caron to fill in Jagr's old spot.

The most likely option was recently made for him when Ilya Kovalchuk decided to leave the New Jersey Devils and retire from the NHL. His decision now has ripple effects into the free agency market. Bringing Jagr in now seems to be a real possibility for Devils GM Lou Lamoriello. Jagr would be a quick, easy fix for the problem, at least for the present. He fits into their style of play well so there is no question that he would logically be considered.

The Carolina Hurricanes are another team that has been heavily linked with Jagr though he has been reportedly considering this option for a while. It seems like the wait has caused some reservations on the part of Jagr as he holds out for something more. The Devils may be that something. A decision by Friday is looking likely so stay tuned for more.

Your middle name could be hurting your credit
If you don't go by your first name, or if you've recently changed your name, you have all the more reason to check your credit report.
This post comes from Jeanne Kelly at partner site Credit.com.
In the movie "J. Edgar," there is a scene when the main character is denied credit at a men's clothing store because "John Hoover" owes the store money. He explains that he was named after his father, John, but he also sometimes goes by the name Edgar. When pushed to choose just one name, he signs his name J. Edgar Hoover.
Many of us were born with a standard name sequence: Our first name is the name we go by, then our middle name is rarely used (unless mom is yelling at us!), and then our last name.
For example, John Edgar Hoover might typically go by "John." But that's not the case for everyone, as was the case with the founder of the FBI. Someone could be called by their middle name ("Edgar," in our example).
Unfortunately, this has the potential to keep you from having the best credit possible or even to hurt your credit, just as it did for Hoover.
Although credit reporting agencies try to allow for it by reporting a primary name and aliases, it's not a perfect science to collect every variation of a person's name.
Here's how it could affect you:
- Bad credit from others could be reported as yours. As depicted in the movie, the main character may have had very good credit but his name was saddling him with his father's bad credit.
- Big changes could eliminate all credit history. A woman who goes by the name Mary Anne Smith at 123 Main Street may get married and move into a home she co-owns with her husband, and now she's Mary Jones at 456 King Street. Will the credit reporting bureau recognize that both names belong to the same person? You want to make sure your name change is updated with your creditors and always confirm your name is correct on your credit reports.
- Name variations might not be reporting to your credit. If Mary Anne Smith also had a credit card that was issued under her middle name ("M. Anne Smith"), then the credit reporting agency might not realize that these are one and the same person.
In all three examples (and numerous others), names can create an additional layer of complexity that might affect your credit.
Yes, credit reporting agencies are becoming increasingly better at matching that information (since they often match multiple pieces of information like name, address, and phone number all at the same time) but even that system is not perfect.
Therefore, if you have any loans or credit cards that are issued with variations of your name, or if you have changed your name or occasionally go by your middle name, then you will want to pull your credit, check all of your existing accounts against those reported on your credit report, and alert the credit reporting agencies to any aliases you might be using. You can monitor your credit for free using a tool like the Credit Report Card, which updates your credit scores monthly and can let you track any sudden changes that may signal an error.
Don't let J. Edgar Hoover's problem keep you from getting the credit score you deserve.
More from Credit.com:
- What is a good credit score?
- How do I dispute an error on my credit report?
- What happens to your credit when you get married?
I "had a current job" (according to a credit report from 2005) with a doctor that my ex-wife quit working for in the late 80/early 90 period. It turned up AFTER a bankruptcy, not in the credit reports obtained during the bankruptcy. I was never an employee of the doctor in question... My report was so full of errors, I've given up, I could never afford the fight to clear them up; some dated back to the 1980s.
CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES should be compelled, by law, to authenticate any data that they get before reporting it - and to pay for any misreported data's consequences. This has been going on since the 50/60s, and they keep evading attempts to make them accountable for their data.
Try being "Mark Smith" nowadays - even with my middle initial my credit is so messed up, that I almost can't even use it & 90% of it isn't even me! But hey some minimum wage data entry person put it there, so it must be correct!
Do any of them give an F! Nope - I'm just a loser with bad credit that deserves what he gets!
I go by my middle name, but when completing a form I still put my actual first name in the box/line that says "First Name" and my middle name in the one that says "Middle Name" so all of my credit is still under my first name. The problem is when people who go by their middle name start putting it as the first
If you seriously believe you can single handedly correct an error on your credit report please offer an effective way to produce results. I have six names on my report as aliases. Most were data entry mistakes made by a state DRV employee. A second and third must have come from have come from an insurance company, again an error. None the less some idiot used my SS# to apply for a Sears CC. Thanks but I live two states away probably another data entry issue, Right? I had experian block my credit score but they refuse to take my word or even discuss the issue unless I provide reams of data. Well BS no more abused data for you, Experian!
As an employee of a credit rating agency, I'd like to remind readers of the following:
1. Your address matters. If you live in a poorer zip code, your score will be reduced slightly due to perceived weakness in your financial situation.
2. Your education matters. Higher education will garner a slightly higher score due to an assumed ability to 'bounce back' from temporary financial setbacks.
3. Your name matters. Not only for the reasons mentioned in the article, but also because heavily 'ethnic' names in conjunction with points 1 & 2 are suggestive of an individual posing a greater credit risk.
Credit reporting agencies are one of the most F'd up bureaucratic nightmares one could ever imagine.
We also have no control over what anyone puts into our credit files and the agencies have no interest or motivation in seeing if it is even valid - in essence - you can be charged, tried, found guilty and executed all before you even are aware of it.
Then you are left with the lifetime burden of either spending enormous amounts of time energy and resources to try to have the mistakes corrected or - living with the damage that others, with the cooperation of the credit agencies, have done to your life.
Collection agencies are largely to blame for much of this in that they are motivated strictly by greed and also have no interest or motivation to play by any set of fair or ethical standards.
If the penalties for misconduct or erroneous records was substantial then they would do a better job at being ethical, but like banks and other financial institutions, they are allowed to run roughshod over consumers with little to no system of checks and balances.....thanks to Congress (again).
Because no one has the time or energy to do the immortal combat it takes to resolve these matters (as they sometimes take years and years and years) many are left with the misfortune of being severely damaged for the rest of their lives because of a broken system.

He explains, "I'm a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan, but early in the season I thought the Broncos would make a run deep run into the playoffs. I have [Broncos running back] Knowshon Moreno on my fantasy football team."
Chris adds, "Hopefully, what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas and comes home with me in my wallet."

I had several questions about wording and the customer service reps couldn't have been more helpful. They made my lengthy wording work and the colors came out perfect. Also, the cards were ready well before the promised time. I have received many compliments on the invitation and will highly recommend your company to others."
"Paper quality was beyond what I expected. The color of the card was so rich - opening the plastic that covered them, I actually scratched one of the cards down to white. The only suggestion I would have is that there be someplace to mention the groom's name. I didn't notice that until I was addressing the cards to people who might not know this young lady's future husband."
"The process was easy and fast. Able to personalize with my info. Customize the color, choose envelopes & submit. Sent for proofing x2 completed overnight.and sent back to me by the next morning. Signed off on the order & received in the mail within 7 days (even a day earlier than I was expecting). I would defnitely recommend. Saved me so much time shopping in stores and printing them out myself."

By now, we're kind of used to Bang & Olufsen putting out some pretty crazy AV products. What we're not all that used to is seeing them offer a complete sound solution with that signature style. Well, here comes the BeoLab 14.
The BeoLab 14 is a full surround speaker system, available in a 4.1 or a 5.1 configuration.
Measuring just under 16cm in diameter, each satellite speaker has active 2.5-inch treble and midrange drivers and its own amplifier. Each speaker also has an anodized aluminum build with exchangeable fabric covers that are available in white, black, silver, dark grey, red and petroleum blue.
The super-cool, 280-watt subwoofer has separate amplifiers for each of the speakers in the system and an 8-inch downward-facing driver for frequencies down to 26Hz. Other features include a Digital Signal Processor, Adaptive Bass Linearization, a room adaptation switch, line sense, Power Link connections for Bang & Olufsen components, and an AV multi-connector for other components.
"BeoLab 14 is the result of a lot of work with our Listening Panel," says Jens Rahbek, senior sound engineer in B&O's R&D department. "Even with the very best components, sound is a subjective experience. We tune our speakers in a process that includes hours of listening—by different people, in different room environments, at different stages of development—in order to achieve sound that is as close as possible to what the original artist intended."
Each speaker in the BeoLab 14 setup comes with floor and shelf stands, as well as wall and ceiling mounts.
Two BeoLab 14 packages will be available starting next month. The 4.1 solution is designed for use with B&O TVs, with four satellite speakers, the subwoofer, and a $3,995 MSRP. The 5.1 system will add in another speaker for a total of $4,395.

Musselburgh a town full of character.
The township of Musselburgh lies just a few miles east of Edinburgh 's city centre on the south shores of the Firth of Forth near its estuary with the River Esk. It is a thriving community that has moved with the times without losing its genuine local identity. Fisherrow, was once a fishing village in its own right but has since successfully merged into the lifestyle of Musselburgh. Whilst the fishing has long gone as an industry, the harbour remains a focal and active part of the town's
tradition for leisure craft.
The famous Clark bros Fishmongers are a notable landmark opposite the quayside.
There is an abundant range of shops, both "corner" type and supermarkets, a good selection of pubs, clubs and
restaurants; many many opportunity for recreation including the world famous golf links, rugby club, parks, the beach, Musselburgh Race Course... the list goes on. In addition, road links are excellent with motorists gaining fast access to the city by-pass leading onto the motorway network, or eastward to the coast or down the A1. Bus & rail travel including a park & ride are also available near at hand.

There is volumes of information on this site that assumes the apocalypse already happened some time ago, but what about surviving the actual apocalypse itself and its immediate aftermath? This apocalypse survival guide is designed to help you survive an apocalyptic event of massive scale.
Imagine everything you know about people, society and life being turned upside down almost immediately. Surviving this type of hellish scenario requires knowing what to expect and planning before hand. You must have the right mind set to keep yourself alive under any circumstance and you also will need a little luck.
This is sort of the precursor to the popular post apocalyptic survival guide which covers all of the basic necessities such as:
- Security
- Water
- Fire
- Shelter
- Food
- Outdoor survival skills
This apocalypse survival guide assumes you have read the post apocalyptic survival guide and understand the basics of surviving without electricity, running water and food supply chains. This apocalypse survival guide will cover the most likely apocalypse scenarios and the specifics of survival pertaining to each of these events.
Predicting something like the apocalypse is pretty difficult to do, but if we look at some of the most realistic, pressing apocalypse scenarios that many people are worried about, we can focus our efforts towards the most commonly feared survival situations.
These scenarios are presented in order of likeliness to occur, with details of survival specific to each of them. I can't stress this enough, be sure that along with this apocalypse survival guide, you understand the skills in the post apocalyptic survival guide and have the right survival gear.
Apocalypse Survival Guide: Introduction
All of these apocalypse scenarios have one thing in common: people are going to freak the fuck out. You see all of the nut jobs that freak out already because they can't handle living in regular civil society. The number of these people will increase exponentially as people suddenly realize they might starve, die of thirst and no government or agency is going to come to their aid. People will go ape shit pretty quickly and it will last for quite a while. This apocalypse survival guide is designed to help you be one of the sane, capable, prepared and strong-willed individuals who will adapt and survive.
Apocalypse survival is not some new idea that people have just begun to worry about. It is as old as written language, mankind has always feared the collapse of everything they know and love. Many times in history entire civilizations fell and from their perspective they witnessed the apocalypse happen to their own society. The threat of the entire globes being consumed by the apocalypse was much less likely, it could only occur by some outside force of massive scale such as a meteorite that people had absolutely no control over. Collapse of society was only possible in isolated areas, because the people were all isolated enough from one another for the apocalyptic event to naturally be contained.
In modern times however, especially in recent decades, a global apocalypse has become a more and more realistic threat. Almost everyone on the planet right now is connected to the rest of the world in a way that was never conceivable in the past. Planes carry people from one continent to the next every single day on a massive scale increasing the chances of pandemic spreading.
Globalism has made nations rely on other nations for their own prosperity and even survival, and the global financial system connects the entire world together. Initially, this globalism created wealth and enriched civilization bonds were formed by nations with one another, but these bonds now are more like chains.
The entire human population is more connected than ever, and also less prepared than ever to survive without the comforts of their technology. We have disrupted natural selection by crafting our own environment to our will with the use of our technology. It is a beautiful thing to take much of the strain out of life through technology but we are evolving into a species that depends on it.
Mankind is unique among the animals of the world because our society, our culture and our inter dependence on one another is a part of survival that no other creature relies on to the extent we do. We have always formed tribes, clans, family units and we have always divided labor amongst these groups in a way that protects, defends and ensures the groups survival.
When our societies and communication with one another are suddenly stripped from us, the psychological impact can be devastating and the unpredictability of the human mind necessarily leads to dramatic differences in the reactions of each individual to this new reality. Some will adapt and harden, mastering their new environment and recreating society but sadly the vast majority will not. So what I have attempted to do in this apocalypse survival guide is create groups of the most likely apocalypse scenarios by their similarities and provide specifics on surviving each of these catastrophic events.
Here are a couple of items no household should be without, followed by our dive down the rabbit hole of possible apocalypse survival situations and the guide to survival should you find yourself stuck in the jaws of the apocalypse.
Critical Items for Apocalypse Survival
1. Total Economic Collapse, Hyper Inflation and Peak Oil.
The most likely to cause the apocalypse award goes to: total economic collapse. It is number one in the apocalypse survival guide because the same things increasing the probability of this occurring are happening at alarming rate all over the world and no one can put the breaks on it.
Governments are spending more and more, promising more and more and borrowing more and more which is creating the conditions necessary for hyper inflation. It is an unsustainable model and now it doesn't just destroy one country; it destroys multiple countries and the fall of those countries will spread the economic misery like wildfire.
To top it all off, fossil fuels such as oil are being rapidly depleted and alternative energies are nowhere near the right price point to make them economically viable.
What happens when the global economy collapses?
Total economic collapse is when the banks fail, the government coffers are empty and the collapse of a major nations economic and financial structure sets off a world wide chain reaction because of the inter-connectivity of the modern global economy.
Nothing is really more pressing currently than this issue and governments continue to print and spend more money because there is no easy way in a democracy to cut spending.
Politicians make promises to get elected, fulfilling those promises requires spending money that the government does not have which leads to more borrowing ad-infinitum. Things like hyper inflation become a major problem, because the value of the currency is rapidly depleted by all of the printing, borrowing and spending and more and more dollars are chasing less and less goods.
The price of every single commodity starts to dramatically increase in price until the system can no longer function and the currency is worthless.
Add in peak oil and the chances of speculators driving the price of oil into the solar system, and you have a recipe for complete and total economic collapse.
How will people react?
People initially will act with disbelief. As things rapidly become worse people will start to panic and withdraw all of their money from the banks and from investments, further exacerbating the problem.
People will suddenly realize that the supply chain is starting to break down as business after business closes and the banks all fail. It is at this point that the situation becomes the most dangerous because their will be a mad rush for supplies and looting and rioting will be common place.
At peak oil, people will realize there is no longer going to be a downward fluctuation in the price of oil which leads to a panic to horde fuel. Speculators live off of this panic and prices for fuel will be elevated beyond the realistic supply and demand market value into new never before seen territory.
What can you do to prepare?
- Think ahead and make sure you can be self sufficient for as long as possible. Storing water and food is always a good idea, as well as keeping some of your cash on hand at home to make sure you always have access to something of value.
- Keep items that have trade value for bartering in your home, such as gold and silver but don't forget things like toilet paper, shampoo, canned goods, alcohol and anything that is non perishable will eventually become worth more than gold.
- Have a plan for where to escape to if you live in a densely populated area and you fear massive riots, and make sure the friends and family that you trust know where you plan to go so you can all meet in the event of a total economic collapse.
- Have a siphon and gas tank in case you need to steal fuel to get you and your family safely away from your area. Seriously, I am advocating stealing if it gets that bad.
Why can't it happen?
There is very little to suggest that this currently can't happen. The best answer to why a total economic collapse can't happen is that it hasn't happened before because we have constantly been able to kick the debt can down the road.
Hyper inflation is very real and it has happen to countries who naively printed money to pay their debts, but the fractional reserve banking system, (i.e. the federal reserve and other global private banking institutions) falsely manipulate the money supply in such a way that it is able to withstand the economic pressures on it. The problem is, the federal reserve and other central banks cannot maintain this behavior forever and their manipulations are beginning to catch up with them, but how long can they delay it?
Oil seems to be a never ending resource, we are constantly told we are going to run out and on the flip side we are constantly finding new drilling sources. Nowadays, the environmental movement has put increasingly harder and harder pressure on governments to move away from oil, even if it is not yet economically viable which has led to a reduction in our ability to find new sources to drill and restrictions on how we can extract it.
It would be wonderful if we could power our whole society off of clean green technologies such as wind and solar, but they are simply not market ready and fossil fuels are still by far the cheapest most efficient way for the masses to heat their homes and fuel their vehicles. We don't live in a perfect world, we live in the real world and in the real world the market drives prices and the market undoubtedly favors fossil fuels for the foreseeable future.
That said, economic collapse definitely tops the list of the most likely scenarios for this apocalypse survival guide.
2. World War III – Arab/Israeli Conflict, China and the threat of Nuclear and Electromagnetic Pulse Attack.
For an apocalypse survival guide, one must consider the possibility of a widespread global war and the implications it has for the continuation of society. History has already shown us that it is possible for power hungry ideological men to drive entire nations into total war. World War II and World War I are great examples of this, but the geographic concentration of these wars, and of the world GDP was such that it only had devastating consequences in a local area. In modern times however, there are scores of countries that rely on aid from these nations that will be inevitably dragged into war.
What happens if World War III occurs?
Albert Einstein famously stated, "World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." The massive scale and deadliness of the weapons available to the major nations undoubtedly creates a situation that could quite possibly lead to the total destruction of civilization for the entire Western world and Asia.
Geo-politically speaking, the war will most likely spring out of the Middle Eastern tensions and suck the rest of the world into it over competing resources. As China and Russia grow in strength and begin to get more and more allies, the West seemingly continues to destroy itself with terrible economic and foreign policies creating a political world pool that could surely entice nations like China into a position where they could attempt to asset their dominance.
China specifically continues to spread its influence across Africa and the Middle East and Russia always backs any Middle Eastern power who opposes the United States. In this scenario, the most likely cause of the apocalypse will be the West siding with Israel and the Eastern powers siding with the Middle East in a fight to the finish for supreme global dominance. There is nothing that China displays in their own human rights policies towards their own people that would lead us to believe that they would obey the Geneva convention in a war? There are a multitude of nations with nuclear weapons and when their absolute survival is threatened they will assuredly launch nuclear weapons against their aggressors in an effort to stop their total destruction or absolute oppression by a foreign power.
China will challenge America for unilateral supremacy, it is only a matter of when and to what extent. If America continues to weaken and enslave itself with Chinese debt, it only invites aggression historically speaking and at that point apocalypse survival will be more than just a possibility; it will be reality.
How will people react?
If the world plunges into a global total war, inevitably leading to nuclear war as a last resort it will be the worst possible situation mankind has ever seen up until this point in history. Entire cities can be completely leveled by modern weapons, especially nuclear weapons and there is virtually nothing that you can do if you are in a targeted area and do not immediately evacuate upon the possible threat.
A modern total war would absolutely use an electromagnetic pulse to wipe out the enemies communication and technological infrastructure as quickly as possible because it is the best way to cripple an entire nation. An EMP will wipe out almost every electronic within the blast range and severely cripple the nations communication capabilities and the citizens will be left to fend for themselves.
This will cause widespread panic and a rush for supplies as news becomes unreliable and hard to obtain. Families will panic as the technology they rely on to survive is fried by an electromagnetic pulse.
What can you do to prepare?
In the scope of this apocalypse survival guide, preparation for a World War III can only be grazed over. To survive a war of such massive scale requires many variables that may be beyond your control, but controlling the variables you can is critical to being prepared to survive the apocalypse.
- Keep enough food and water for your family as you can possibly store for any disaster.
- Be sure to understand the effects of radiation and even acquire the right gear to survive near a blast zone if you live in one of the hot spots for a nuclear attack in your country.
- Read the how to survive an emp guide and understand how to protect your critical electronics from an emp attack.
- Understand the basic survival skills contained in the post apocalyptic survival guide to ensure you have the outdoor skills required to live off the grid without electricity, food, running water and modern society enact.
- Buy guns and stock pile ammo, they are the greatest equalizer to protect yourself and no household that can legally purchase a firearm should be without one.
Why can't it happen?
For the Israeli/Arab situation, Americas backing of Israel and the strength of the Israeli military prevent full scale war between Israel and its enemies. Full scale war with Israel would be suicidal under current conditions for any nation that would decide to invade. However, strong religious idealology from the Muslim nations combined with the ability in the near future to produce nuclear weapons does create a recipe for disaster that could drag the whole world into war.
China relies on the US because it is by far China's biggest customer. On top of that China has loaned a lot of money to the US and unless it demands the US pay back the loans right away this prevents China from challenging the US for global hegemony. China still is growing in power every day and although internal problems are beginning to surface, the state run media controls the information flow so well that it prevents uprisings. There is nothing to suggest that China will not eventually challenge the US, particularly over Taiwan which will certainly drive the two nations to war.
No one thought the entire world would ever go to war again after World War I and they were wrong. World War II showed us that a power can rise in an otherwise sane nation and brainwash the people into a warlike furor. There will eventually be a World War III and the scale will likely be beyond anything imaginable. In this trying time, you will be lucky to have prepared by reading apocalypse survival guides.
3. Global Pandemic, Antibiotic Resistance and the Zombie Apocalypse
It seems every few months a new major "pandemic" is occurring. It could be the avian flu or the swine flu or even the dreaded "SARS" but whatever it is, you can bet the media is hyping it as the kill switch for humanity.
There are very real threats concerning a global pandemic, especially since bacteria are becoming increasingly more resistant though natural selection to our array of antibiotics. Developing new antibiotics is expensive and doctors constantly over prescribe them while patients fail to take them correctly. Bacteria evolve much faster than other species because of their simple structure and the ones that aren't killed produce offspring that are genetically more resistant to antibiotics.
Face it, in today's internet culture, surviving the zombie apocalypse is more prevalent than any other more likely apocalypse scenario. There are numerous zombie apocalypse survival guides and a huge base of loyal fan supporters, excellent movies and TV shows and amazing books driving the zombie apocalypse craze.
Since this site is about post apocalyptic survival, it is necessary we cover this aspect but we will do it from the most likely ways in which this "zombie apocalypse" or something like it could could occur. Since whatever it is that makes zombies… well… zombies, is a disease or virus; it is covered under the umbrella of global pandemics along side the very real possibility of antibiotic resistance leading to the apocalypse.
What happens if a zombie apocalypse, a global pandemic or completely antibiotic resistant diseases emerge?
In short, a lot of people die very quickly. There is almost no way to completely protect yourself from a global pandemic, a zombie apocalypse or antibiotic resistant diseases if you live in a densely populated area. Much will depend on luck and your geographic region, but there are certainly universal survival skills that will aid you in your ability to survive such an apocalyptic event.
World wide transportation will surely quickly carry the disease around the world, especially if it is airborne. If the disease is completely antibiotic resistant or a powerful virus it will inflict massive casualties and break the fabric of society as people fear one another and retreat from the public to protect themselves and their families.
How will people react?
Well, if people turn into stereotypical movie zombies you have a pretty good idea of how they will react. Even with a perceived pandemic that is media hyped there is always wide spread panic that starts out as just simple concerned chatter among concerned people. If it does not spread to their country, or not in large numbers, they usually continue to go about their lives.
But what if suddenly this disease or zombie virus spreads on a huge scale and people lose faith in the governments ability to obtain it? Welcome to the Walking Dead my friend. People will go ape shit.
There have been many times in history when an incurable disease spread on a large scale among an isolated population. The plague wiped out a third of Europe and it is an easily curable disease with modern medicine. The next plague wouldn't be so simple to cure. Bacteria evolves at an alarming rate due to its simple genetic makeup and if a highly resistant bacteria developed that was unaffected by antibiotics, society at large would be severely at risk.
Then we come to zombies. If there is a virus that makes people freak out and go on a biting frenzy to spread the disease, it could spell the end of civilization as we know it. Humans are so attached to the people close to them that they will risk themselves because of their lack of ability to realize that the person trying to bite them isn't really grandma anymore. We also know that diseases like rabies exist and spread in wild animal populations, so a disease that similarly effected humans is a possibility and humans close proximity to one another makes it more likely to spread than in animals living in the wild.
Or for another example, imagine if the virus that causes AIDS, HIV suddenly evolved a different method of transmission, perhaps becoming airborne. People would panic if an incurable virus went airborne and became a pandemic. Governments would be forced to quarantine and erase civil liberties in an attempt to contain the virus and everyone would be suspect of one another.
What can you do to prepare for the zombie apocalypse and global pandemics?
- As always, make sure you have a decent supply of non perishable goods and water. This applies to every emergency.
- Have plenty of ways to sanitize everything, a Gas Mask and a Hazmat Suit for every member of your family wouldn't hurt.
- Try to stockpile any medications your family members need in anyway possible. Also, if you get creative you can stockpile antibiotics as well by going over to ebay and typing in "fish antibiotics". These capsules literally are generic amoxicillin and other common antibiotics that can be legally obtained for your "fish". Trust me on this I have purchased these and used them they are safe and they are real medicine, right down to the pill capsules and numbers inscribed there are no difference between them and the generics you get from Walmart with a prescription.
- In the case of zombies you need apocalypse survival weapons, get creative.
4. Natural Catastrophic Disasters and Climate
Natural catastrophic disasters have occurred many times in the past and wiped out the dominant species, or almost all species on the planet because of the sudden change in climate that did not leave enough time for most species to adapt to. We are talking massive asteroids, super volcanoes, solar storms, polar reversals and massive tectonic movements/ super quakes.
What happens when a catastrophic natural disaster occurs?
This is probably the most common one on most peoples minds, because it actually has created apocalyptic extinctions in the past. Think dinosaurs and wonder when the hell the next big asteroid is going to hit.
On top of that, super volcanoes that are ready to blow such as the one in Yellow Stone National Park create a huge risk for the apocalypse survival aficionado. A massive scale super volcano eruption would not only kill everything for miles in the surrounding area but it could physically alter Earths climate, much the same way as the massive extinction asteroids have done.
Then you have massive tectonic shifts and earthquakes that could potentially lead to the apocalypse. Imagine if "the big one" ever strikes California and it breaks off into the sea causing the largest tsunami in history to go hurling towards Asia. One can only imagine the ramifications of such a disaster.
Then you have the more obscure, such as the 2012 Mayan prophecies have hyped, like polar reversal (which has happened before and is due to happen but nobody really knows what effect this will have on us) and massive solar storms big enough to wipe out our atmosphere or at the very least destroy all of our technology and electric infrastructure.
How will people react?
People will instantly begin to struggle for resources once they realize there is not going to be a government response to the disaster. Mass looting, rioting and acquisition and hording of basic resources will be the immediate response. Communities will need to band together.
Unfortunately there are many areas that are not sustainable without the supply chain being intact. If your community is rural and has farms and other methods of producing food with a good water supply than your community may be able to effectively maintain its own local economy but it will spend much of its time defending its borders from desperate city dwellers who live in over populated areas with no resource production.
People will react either violently and irrationally, or they will calmly and carefully adapt and communities will be the only hope.
If the disaster is such that it initially and directly impacts your area, there really is nothing you can do. These things are a game of chance. An apocalypse survival guide won't do shit for you if your town is sitting on top of a super volcano or gets smashed by a colossal meteorite.
However most people will not be directly impacted and may be indirectly impacted by the detrimental effects it has on the global economy or even worse the climate.
What can you do to prepare for a catastrophic natural disaster?
- Horde food and water, for any disaster this is critical for you to get your bearing.
- Figure out what the most significant environmental risk to your area is and prepare for it specifically.
- If an asteroid hits near you, place your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.
- Have a bug out evacuation route for you and your family to meet.
- Make your friends and people you trust aware of where you plan to be so that you can all meet up and pool your resources.
- Read the post apocalyptic survival guide and master basic survival skills, everything on that list pertains to this type of event.
Apocalypse Survival Guide: Conclusion
In conclusion, no matter what the apocalypse that you are trying to survive turns out to be, there are a few things that can apply to all of them that everyone should be aware of. Most importantly, take it somewhat seriously. I know everyone thinks your crazy if you are preparing for the apocalypse, but who is really crazy when the shit hits the fan? Pretty much all the gear required to survive the apocalypse is useful for any natural disaster or emergency and regular camping trips can familiarize you with your gear in a fun way.
This apocalypse survival guide can really be summarized by the following points.
- If the apocalypse doesn't kill you, know that you can survive the ensuing chaos.
- Be confident that you can handle anything that happens.

How to: Make a Headboard Using Ikea Mirrors
ATLA reader Jen in Santa Monica sent us this great DIY solution. Using 30 Ikea Malma mirrors, Jen was able to create herself an affordable and unique bedroom feature. She used adhesive squares, noting the mirrors " are very light(weight)". Thanks for sharing Jen!

I want to love it.
I want to hate it.
I really like it. Maybe the top row is a little too much, and idk how bad the feng-shui points are on it, but for £30, I say it's an awesome feature, specially for rentals. Probably doesn't look very finished, and of course has the IKEA-hack feel all over, but there's safety in numbers and 30 seems like a good number.
i popped the mirror out of the unfinished wood frame and used it to frame a lightswitch.
Good Ikea hack. I was just at Ikea yesterday, darn it! I could see getting a piece of plywood cut to size, and mounting these on it. But I would maybe pop out the mirrors too, and stick in a piece of fabric glued to a board cut to size, or something. Have to think about this before my next Ikea trip....
that's my girl! next step: a stool to step up to our extremely tall bed!
eh-hem, i meant YOUR** bed--- (that sounded like we share this bed!)
I really like this, but I would probably love it with out the top two rows. Good job!
LOL brookejoy
...those "our" words just flow so easily from you... perhaps this may be one of those craigslist misconnections ?
as for the headboard, perhaps too much borders, and not enough mirror area coverage for me.
but a good ikea hack nevertheless.
the original idea wasn't to make a headboard, but that's where it began...
i made it go to the ceiling to make the room feel a little taller instead of cutting it up.
thanks for the comments!
callbob---that typo would have been more embarrassing, but "ATLA reader Jen" and i have actually been friends for years!
but back to the topic at hand-- i love how she made something cheap look chic and expensive. when you're young and not making tons of money (yet)-- that the only choice you have!
I Love It! I can see you have a window and if you were to use more mirror you might lose privacy. Also good way to detract from low cieling by going all the way up with the mirror.
I did this in two rows behind a black bar cabinet. It actually looks like it's part of the cabinet (which I salvaged for $20, stripped and repainted). I get a lot of compliments on it.
I like it! Ikea can be full of all sorts of interesting decor ideas if you think creatively, especially if you're trying to stick to a budget and don't want to create anything too permanent in your apartment.
Oh MY GOD, I did this also, using the same mirrors, and used foam tape. But used some off brand. They started to fall off on my head after a few weeks. Started over and used the 3 M brand it work great. Just be careful when hanging stuff over you bed :)
I think that looks incredible, for very little money and effort. Great job!
Jen, you're brilliant! That headboard and the accompanying wall color look fantastic. This is one of the best Ikea hacks I've seen in a long time.
How are the mirrors backed? How did you mount it? I have a friend who wanted to buy a large mirror for decoration and I think I may suggest this to her.
Oh, Also: Tell us, how was the experience of being in the Ikea check-out line buying 30 mirrors? Was there enough stock for you to get them all at once? Did the cashier think you were crazy?
They had plenty of stock of this mirror when I bought it. I think I actually made two trips because I needed another 5 or so mirrors. It was maybe a featured item because they're was a huge box of them (can't recall a crazy look from the cashier, but who knows ;)
As far as mounting, I just took foam mounting squares(permanent not reusable from Staples, etc) and put one on each corner on the back of the mirrors. I also painted my walls with matte paint, as I don't think semi-gloss would adhere as well.
Hope that helps!
Oh, I hope someone's still checking in here. I MUST know what color the walls are painted.
Just looked up this post for someone... it's (Dark?) Granite by Behr in flat
I just completed my (10 mirror) headboard. I actually bought the mirrors at Ikea over a year ago but just went back (hours away so only get there twice a year) to get more. After seeing your headboard, I figure I will add another 2 rows next time I make a trip to Ikea. Teo rows look great but 4 rows will look much better! Thanks for the idea. Im a renter and my walls are boring blah beaige so cant compare to your great gray...but it covers up some holes in the wall.
Hi Jen,
We'd like to use this photo on iVillage as a great idea of a way to decorate with mirrors. Would that be okay? Do you have a blog or website we could link to?
Ellen Niz, iVillage
Hi JenJen I love this idea I am planning to do the same but know sure how many mirror I will need my bed is a king size. what size was your bed?

Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman is a Machinomic by Christopher C. Livingston based on Half-Life 2. An Affectionate Parody, it blurs the line between machinima and webcomics: all images are in-game screenshots taken from Garry's Mod, which allows the user to pose ragdolls and play around with the scripted events of the game, that have had speech bubbles and whatnot added. The name of the strip comes from a letter from "A Concerned Citizen" read in the game by the administrator of Earth, Dr. Breen, which the comic provides an explanation of.The (concluded!) story follows the misadventures of Gordon Frohman, happy-go-lucky if none-too-bright resident of City 17 and former file clerk at Black Mesa, as he precedes/follows in Gordon Freeman's footsteps and attempts to ingratiate himself to the Combine overlords, catch Dr. Breen's latest show, cleanse the city of evil Vortigaunts, find an apartment, survive the horrifyingly friendly residents of Ravenholm, get his trans-human surgical upgrade, and stop that crowbar-wielding jerk from ruining everything. As the comic's name suggests, Frohman dies at the end. What? It's right there in the title!If you're at all familiar with Half-Life 2, or even if you're not, you may want to check it out. Expect some spoilers, though.Despite the fact that Frohman did actually die at the end, an unofficial sequel titled ''Concerned 2: A Concerned Rip-Off-The Continuing Adventures of Gordon Frohman'' by Norman N. Black demonstrates that our loveable dumbass survived due to Frohman reloading a save point from before he died.

Location: Seville, Spain
Flyer: course016.pdf
Program Type
Project Director:
Project Description
Our commitment is to promote Archaeology in its different aspects of research, training, and conservation, with a basic and clear purpose: to involve anyone from around the world who wishes to gain access to this scientific field. Sanisera is an international archaeological organization whose main aim is that of promoting and developing research , so that our current and future generations can be enriched by culture and education in this field.
Why participate?
Courses Quick Guide
General Information
The Sanisera Field School has designed a fieldwork course for students interested in participating and experimenting with archaeology in two archaeologically rich sites; the island of Menorca and city of Seville in southern Spain. Since then it has organized courses for students who come from all over the world to study abroad and who are interested in anthropology.
We have designed a course that focuses on funerary structures, specifically inhumation graves of the Roman city of Sanisera from the classical period as well as the study of a unique collection of human remains from Roman Villas in Seville.
Part 1: Dig & Bioarchaeology in the Necropolis of Sanisera (Menorca, Spain)
Death in Rome has been studied in Sanisera since we started digging the first necropolis in 2008. So far we have excavated 72 tombs belonging to a Roman cemetery which could have been related to a basilica in the Roman city if Sanisera, which dates from the 4th and 6th centuries AD. The Osteology corpus in this necropolis includes more than 270 individuals.
The fieldwork focuses on funerary structures, specifically inhumation graves. Participants will learn and apply excavation techniques used in biological anthropology when excavating tombs. Students will also participate in lectures on skeletal anatomy and pathologies, classes, exercises and excursions related to the course material. In the laboratory participants will be instructed by an anthropologist and other archaeologists in the classification, study, and conservation of human remains and other related materials found. Time dedicated to this part of the program: 50%.
Part 2: Biological Anthropology in Seville (Spain)
Seville was known in Roman times as Hispalis, founded in one of the richest agricultural lands of the Roman Empire. From there, they exported to Rome oil, wine and wheat in large quantities. Around the city estates were built to manage the exploitation of the field and in this program we have the opportunity to study a villa occupied during the 4th and 6th centuries AD and its necropolis with more than 50 graves.
Focuses on the in-depth analysis of human skeletal remains excavated. Participants will learn the techniques of analyzing and recording information from human skeletal remains in an archaeological context. In this lab based course, both lecture and experiential learning will be used to enable students to gain confidence in the identification and analysis of various skeletal conditions. Time dedicated to this part of the program: 50%.
Directed at
If you are interested in studying biological anthropology or are already doing so at your university and are looking to gain field experience as a volunteer excavating a necropolis and tombs, then classify and study in a laboratory of a museum in Spain archaeological material such as human remains and grave goods, this could be your best option. This program accommodates participants with or without previous experience.
This course is designed to perfect your knowledge in biological anthropology. During the first week you will excavate a Roman necropolis on the island of Menorca and then will travel to Seville to study a unique collection of bones learning how to classify, recognize gender, pathologies, and more information that that advanced techniques in anthropology allow us to learn from human remains.
You will learn to work in a team, under the guidance of an expert, excavating human remains and then working with human remains in the laboratory of an archaeological museum.
In this course, participants will have the opportunity to discover and explore two beautiful and unique places in Spain. First, in Menorca participants will excavate tombs in a Roman cemetery, on the northern coast, next to the sea and among stunning Mediterranean landscapes. Then participants will travel to Seville and will experience authentic Spanish culture including architecture and flamenco.
Previous knowledge or experience in archaeology or computer systems is not required.

Field Program
This field school program, with a length of 20 days, will start in Spain. Students will meet in Menorca during the first day. For the following 6 days participants will focus on the dig of skeletal remains from the Necropolis of Sanisera. The excavation of the Roman cemetery focuses on funerary structures, specifically inhumations. Participants will learn and apply excavation techniques used in biological anthropology when excavating tombs. Students will also participate in lectures on skeletal anatomy and pathologies, classes and exercises related to the course material. During the next three days of the course, students will travel to Seville by plane (included in tuition costs) and visit the most culturally interesting cities of Andalusia, Granada and Cordoba.
Once in Seville, participants will study during seven days material from the excavations of a Roman villa from the ancient city of Seville. The archaeological material consists of a unique collection of human remains that will be analyzed by students so that they gain experience in archaeological laboratory work. In the laboratory participants will be instructed by an anthropologist in the classification, study, and conservation of human remains. Participants will also be given lectures on methodology, Roman archaeology and biological anthropology. The last days of the course will be free days so participants can enjoy and get to know the island of Menorca. The fieldwork runs 7 hours a day . The course is taught in English and Spanish.
At the end of the Field Program, students will receive a certificate of participation stating the hours and activities of the course. Participants that perform exceedingly well in the course may receive a letter of recommendation from our organization upon request.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Sam Brown recorded his second RBI of the game in the top of the eighth inning to tie the Toreros but University of San Diego's Ben Wylly hit his second home run of the night in the bottom of the frame to give USD the go-ahead 6-5 winner at Fowler Park and Cunningham Field Friday.
Both of Wylly's homers came off Zag (10-19, 6-4 WCC) reliever Kenny Smith, who picked up the defeat. Lucas Long got the win for San Diego (20-9, 7-3 WCC) after working the final 1.1 innings.
The Bulldogs had a nice start to the game and held the lead through the middle innings.
Mitchell Gunsolus got the Zags its first lead in the third inning. Cabe Reiten got the offense going by connecting for a single up the middle to leadoff the frame. Nick Brooks followed with a single to left field and Beau Bozett laid a sacrifice bunt to put both runners in scoring position.
Gunsolus brought home the pair of runners with a double to right field. GU was not done in the inning as Payden Cawley Lamb scored Gunsolus with a single up the middle.
Starter Taylor Jones took the 3-1 lead until the sixth inning where both sides would score.
Lamb opened with a double down the left field line and advanced to third on a Joey Harris sacrifice bunt. Brown, the next batter, brought Lamb home on a successful suicide squeeze.
After Gonzaga earned its largest lead of the evening 4-1, the potent San Diego offense put up four-runs in the bottom half of the sixth for the late lead.
Jones allowed back-to-back singles to open the inning. A sacrifice bunt advanced both runners before Jesse Jenner doubled to left field scoring two. The extra-base hit ended Jones' day for reliever Smith.
Smith struck out the first batter he faced but Wylly then connected for his first go-ahead homer.
The first Wylly homer assured Jones would get a no decision after he put forth 5.1 innings allowing four runs on seven hits. The sophomore struck out five and walked just two.
Lamb got his third hit of the game to open the eighth. GU managed to get runners on the corners when Brown sacrifieced to tie the game.
Unfortunately it was Wylly putting the Toreros on top again as his second home run off Smith doomed the Bulldogs evening. Smith was responsible for two earned runs on six hits in 2.2 innings.
Lamb's 3-for-4 and two-runs scored performance paced the Bulldogs. Gunsolus added a pair of hits and an RBI.
The matchup marks the first time in league history that the defending regular-season champs (Gonzaga) and tournament winners (San Diego) have played against each other. Last season was the inaugural WCC Tournament which the Toreros won at Banner Island Ballpark in Stockton, Calif., after GU claimed the regular-season title with an 18-6 league record.
Gonzaga and San Diego resume the series Saturday. Game two is set for a 6 p.m. first pitch as right-handed pitcher Brandon Bailey gets the starting nod for the Bulldogs.

VALLEYFORD, Wash. -- A man was arrested after he allegedly set his ex-wife's house on fire.
Spokane Police said arson investigators arrested Delmar Olsen Friday afternoon. Olsen's ex-wife, Cyndi Rai, told police she thinks the man set fire to her home on Connor Road because he was upset about their divorce.
When firefighters arrived to Rai's house Thursday they had to gut out the home to keep the fire from spreading. Rai and her five children weren't home at the time of the fire.
"He can be angry at me. I'm an adult," Rai said. "But it's not okay to take it out on the kids and that was really sad."
The family sold the home and moved most of their belongings out the day before the fire, but one of Rai's daughters lost all her things in the blaze.
Rai says Olsen has been struggling since they divorced two years ago. She also said she eventually got a restraining order against him.
Meanwhile, fire inspectors were still investigating where the fire started. No one was injured.
Olsen was booked into jail on First Degree Arson charges.
