Emergency Documentation To Keep In 72 Hour Kit March 15, 2014, by Ken Jorgustin In addition to the items you keep in your 72-hour kit, bug-out-bag, or any survival kit, do not discount the value of keeping a hard copy written list of information including important contacts, and even account numbers and passwords with simple encryption… (updated) Although your smart-phone or other electronic device may be a convenient place to store contact information and other data, it will become quite useless when the battery drains, or if it is dropped and broken, or if damaged by an EMP. Having a hard copy of written documentation of important and useful contact information and data could be crucial in a emergency evacuation or bug-out situation. For this purpose, it is not necessary to duplicate your entire contact list, but just those which might be particularly useful following an emergency or disaster. The thing is, since the age of cell phones, we no longer need to memorize everyone’s phone numbers.

Improv Encyclopedia Remix: Too Many Dicks in Video Games March 23, 2010 This remix was inspired by Sloane’s “Star Trek Dance Floor” It is no secret that the majority of video games these days star overly muscular men often carrying big swords, guns, baseball bats, chainsaws or other phallic weaponry. Many games normalize this extremely macho form of masculinity while uncritically glorifying war or military intervention. Sadly too many games tend to celebrate grotesque displays of violence instead of providing opportunities for creative, less violent, innovative forms of conflict resolution. Not only are these games dominated by male characters but even the few women characters who do get staring roles are often made to replicate overly patriarchal, violent, macho behavior (but inside of a hyper sexualized female body). To put it simply, there are just too many dicks on the dance floor! ***Note: Two games in this video I offer as examples of games that break the mold.

How to build a simple seed-starting stand Starting annual flowers and vegetables from seed indoors to get a jump start on spring sounds like a great idea until reality sets in. That’s the point when home gardeners begin to ask questions: Do I have room? Where will I put the trays so the seeds will get enough light? Shawn Bard, a master gardener in DeKalb County, Georgia, has the answer: build a simple seed starter stand. Here’s how Shawn built hers. She purchased inexpensive and easy-to-assemble shelves from a box store and built a three-tiered stand. She attached rope lighting with twist ties to the shelves to provide heat under the plant trays and hung fluorescent lights with a braided nylon cord under the middle and top shelves to provide light for the seedlings. She held the light tubes in place by feeding the cord through holes on mounting clips on both sides of the tubes and across brackets on the sides of the shelves. The “whole thing cost me maybe $25,” Bard said. Related stories on MNN: Photos: Shawn Bard
