At a time when a colleague of mine is still waiting to hear whether a friend of his has survived the Bombay Massacre (and the signs don't look good I'm afraid), it is timely to consider why it happened. From the New York Post : No one should feel safe without submitting to Islam, and those who refuse to submit must pay a high price. The Islam ist movement must aim to turn the world into a series of...

Here's a neat gadget that's equally as useful for a regular day at the office as it is for survival in the deepest, darkest wilderness. Called the FlashPoint ES, it is a mini-microwave "Exo-Stove" in the slim shape of a torch, that can be used for everything from cooking up that rabbit you caught with your bare hands to simply re-heating your coffee at work.
