You can’t avoid it. No matter how much we try to deny it… The world is coming to an end. (Play eerie music here) Just this year alone we have had a prediction about the end of the world or rapture. The U.S. Government has been downgraded by S&P. Greece and Spain are in utter disarray. People are being laid off, losing their homes and are quickly watching the balances of their retirement savings diminish. I mean with times like this what is the purpose of going on? We might as well give up now. It looks like all is lost, right? Wrong! The troubles and the issues we face rather personally or as a nation are here for a purpose. Challenges do not arise to kill us, they come into existence so that they can be overcome. I am not afraid of a debt ceil...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) proved this week that government communications don’t have to be grey and dull….except from the standpoint that zombies tend to be grey and dull, but I’m getting ahead of myself. This week, the CDC posted on its Public Health Matters blog a piece entitled “Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse”.  The post emphasized the need for citizens to create an emergency plan in the event of sudden attacks by the walking dead.  These tips included the planning of evacuation routes, making a list of emergency contacts and having supplies like water, non-perishable food items and medications ready to go at a moment’s notice.  As the CDC pointed out on its blog, “When zombies are hungry….you need to get out of t...

And I can’t wait to see how Harold Camping reacts on Sunday when he’s still alive, on this Earth, and in this human body. That said, let’s talk about a method of persuasion called “social proof”. In “Influence: the Psychology of Persuasion”, Dr. Robert Cialdini describes social proof as follows: “In general, when we are unsure of ourselves, when the situation is unclear or ambiguous, when uncertainty reigns, we are most likely to look to and accept the actions of others as correct” (p. 129). We’re familiar with this concept. Should I laugh at this joke? Better wait and see if anyone else laughs first. Should I join a sorority? Better wait and see if one of my friends joins first. Sh...

And, latterly, that every time I agree to swap shifts with someone, it goes tits up...Tuesday, two days ago, I should have been on a day off, but had agreed to cover a shift for a colleague. It was the swing shift, 4pm until 1am.By just after 6 it was snowing pretty heavily, but didn't seem to be settling. By about 8 it was lying thick on the ground, and the flail had begun. Cars were getting jammed on the roads, big and small, and even the Ambos were getting trapped. It rapidly became apparent that no-one who couldn't walk home was getting home.This clearly included me.The only upside being that if we couldn't get out, no-one could get in. Ambulances couldn't even back into the Bay, a distance of some 10 feet, up ...

Cable) of the Age of Apocalypse. Only, he’s supposed to be more powerful than Cable because he doesn’t have to squander some of his power keeping a techno-organic virus in check. (Though Nate always seemed to get the short end of the stick whenever he encountered Cable, so maybe he’s really not more powerful after all — or maybe just less experienced.) In this scene from X-Man #2 (words by Jeph Loeb, art by Steve Skroce), Nate has just used his power of telekinesis to fly for first time.

(For those of you who don’t know or don’t remember, the Age of Apocalypse was a glimpse at what the Marvel Universe would have looked like if Charles Xavier had died before he could start the X-Men. For four months in the summer of 1995, all the X-books were renamed and together told the story of this alternate world. On a recent rereading, the stories held up surprisingly well, but the art — with all its ’90s excesses of shoulder pads, pouches, and facial tattoos — did not.) Anyway, here is the Age of Apocalypse’s Jean Grey giving it everything she’s got. There’s a nose ble...
