Our friend Tam recommended a post over at the Standing Outside Looking In blog about preparing for and coping with flood waters: A Hard Lesson; Survivor Ammunition Storage [2]

Pierre M. sent this news from Florida: Worst TB outbreak in 20 years kept secret [3]. (It is noteworthy that the role of HIV- AIDS in resurgence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis [4] is often soft-pedaled by the politically correct American mass media.)

Pierre also sent three links about MultiCam: MultiCam Gallery [5], Slate reports: Lost in the Wilderness–The military’s misadventures in pixelated camouflage [6], and Syrian Camo? [7]

I just watched the movie Machine Gun Preacher [8], on DVD. It is the true story of Sam Childers [9], a former outlaw biker who came to Christ, straightened up his life, and established an orphanage in war-torn southern South Sudan [10]. (Before it gained its independence.) Be forewarned that there is some foul language and it depicts violence, so it is NOT for children! The film confirmed my strong conviction to get actively involved in aiding the citizenry of South Sudan–namely training and arming them to defend themselves against the continuing depredations of the Muslim Janjaweed [11]. Pray for South Sudan!
