Season 3 Starts Tonight, The Walking Dead

With the NFL football season settled in and baseball winding into the MLB post season it is time to survive the apocalypse with Rick Grimes, Carl and Daryl Dixon. AMC has promised more of everything this season. More Zombies, more combat, more high stress, more Daryl and Merl as well as a hot new Becca. Maggie's little sister looks like she is ready to do what it takes to survive in her tight fitting outfit that includes thigh high combat boots. Get ready it is coming!!! FYI, I don't think the comic books can be considered complete cannon since Kirkman has said they are separate mutually supporting story arcs.

The ideal way to prepare a person in case there is an attacker is through self defense. Self defense is a countermeasure that conditions anyone to defend themselves or their house or property from actual harm. In court, self-defense is legitimately justified when the defendant truly saw themselves in a risky condition. In order to use the self defense justification in court, one must prove that they are in a position, against somebody else that could have most likely led to really serious injuries or death.

Learning self defense typically involves several elements, and that incorporates the use of techniques, training techniques, and strategies. Techniques focus on avoiding the use of self-defense if possible, understanding actions, blocks, and reverse assaults. Training methods will be the drills that are used to learn the techniques, and methods show people when to utilize them. There are actually many forms of fighting styles that teach self defense. Numerous of them also include Self Defense Wrench, worden travel wrench, or impact kerambit travel wrench.

Some of them typically teach disarmed martial arts wherein you figure out how to guard yourself with no weapons. They typically coach you on a number of motor skills and ways to increase self-assurance and awareness. Some countries, in which it is legal to hold weapons, also allow armed self-defense methods. A few of those things that are included in armed self defense are the use of pepper spray, stun guns, wrench, and day-to-day objects like wrench or even a baseball bats.

When contemplating about armed self defense, remember the fact that it is not lawful in many nations and could result in significant punishment. Although there are actually many online articles and videos about self defense, the simplest way to learn martial arts methods are by means of attending an actual martial arts class or training. Self defense classes usually focus on disarmed self defense but may additionally teach people about avoidance and conflict management methods. An effective self defense course will educate you on the best way to become more aware of your surroundings and the best way to handle a situation should you be in a dangerous position.

Together with actual self defense moves, the majority of people grab away a greater degree of self-confidence that may have been missing before. Self-defense is a fantastic activity for you and your family to engage in. Not only is it fun, it additionally teaches you defense skills that would help if you or your own family was ever placed into a dangerous circumstance.

FEMA Zombie Alerts? Really....

US CDC Zombie Poster 2012
GET A KIT, MAKE A PLAN, BE PREPARED!!! Is the official stance of the US government?
Zombies just like the AMC Walking Dead TV show are a huge hit with people and the federal government is tying into the viral movement with its own social media campaign.
FEMA uses its monthly conference call to discuss ZOMBIE Survival?

When the US Government's HSA, FEMA and CDC not only acknowledge but encourage preparation in response to a Zombie uprising my skin starts crawling... Especially when the subtext of the article is that the government will not be able to help for at least 10 days and make no mention of weapons, ammunition or self defense. As in every Romero genre story the government wants you to hide in the basement until "They" can help. Granted there is a bit of liability to worry about but would it hurt to define "Looting", "Property Rights", "Self Defense" and "Deadly Force" in declared emergency situations?

Last year the CDC published a series of tongue in cheek ZOMBIE PANDEMIC blog full of survival tips and educational visual aids at http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2011/05/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse/

Pledge to Prepare - Homeland Security

National Preparedness Month: Pledge to Prepare - Homeland Security

WASHINGTON (AP) -- "The zombies are coming!" the Homeland Security Department says.
Tongue firmly in cheek, the government urged citizens Thursday to prepare for a zombie apocalypse, part of a public health campaign to encourage better preparation for genuine disasters and emergencies. The theory: If you're prepared for a zombie attack, the same preparations will help during a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake or terrorist attack.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency hosted an online seminar for its Citizen Corps organization to help emergency planners better prepare their communities for disaster. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year first launched a zombie apocalypse social media campaign for the same purposes.
Emergency planners were encouraged to use the threat of zombies - the flesh-hungry, walking dead - to encourage citizens to prepare for disasters. Organizers also noted the relative proximity to Halloween.
Among the government's recommendations were having an emergency evacuation plan and a change of clothes, plus keeping on hand fresh water, extra medications and emergency flashlights.
A few of the government's suggestions tracked closely with some of the 33 rules for dealing with zombies popularized in the 2009 movie "Zombieland," which included "always carry a change of underwear" and "when in doubt, know your way out."

Hunger Games Audio Drama, a review

The sound of Dissent. May the odds be ever with you.
Based in the "The Hunger Games""Hunger Games" universe listeners can fill the void between movies by enjoying the trials and tribulations of Panem's finest young players. The podcast, aka audio drama, is an unauthorized adaptation of the "Hunger Games" trilogy told in the form of a weekly news cast. This version is professionally produced and written to Suzanne Collins original vision as possible. Jennifer Lawrence, surprisingly a Kentucky native, fans may be confused by Katniss' southern accent instead of Lawrence's accent-free performance.

If you want to catch up on or get a quick introduction to the "Hunger Games" movie craze give this well made adaptation a listen. Rise up against the Capitol and fight for your District.
