Are you ready for a disaster? Do you have emergency supplies set aside in case there's some sort of disaster? Natural or man-made? Does your family have an emergency plan? How about your workplace? For many people, planning for an emergency or disaster isn't a priority.
If you are ready then please bear with me. If not, then please "hear" me out. It's not too late. Even a little preparation is better than no preparation.

Please consider joining the crew of the U.S.S. Star League in wishing the crew of STS-134, the final flight of the Space Shuttle Transport System, by adding your chapter's signatures to a "best wishes" card (good luck card) currently being assembled by the Star League's crew.
Once completed, the card will be sent to the commander and crew of the space shuttle Endeavor STS-134 about one month prior to their historic mission which will end this era of manned flight.
The Shuttle program began with ties to Star Trek, so let us show them that we still care.

Smallville has been on the air since 2001, making it the longest-running comic-book series in television history. And now there's just one season left, which debuts Sept. 24 at 8/7c on The CW. To get viewers primed for the fateful and final 10th season, CW just released this (very) long recap of what's happened up to this point and, more importantly, what's going to happen when the show returns.
Whether you're a machinist on a tylium ship or a working-class superhero in Chicago, there are three things you deserve: a fair wage, a safe working environment and regular breaks (so you can read Blastr, of course). That's not always how it goes in the world of science fiction, where humans will happily enslave primates just so they don't have to vacuum and alien gods will in turn happily enslave humans.
This is one of those charts that's both a little "ha-ha funny" and a little "ha-ha sad." It illustrates why Hollywood has a love/hate relationship with geek films, and it was put together by Cracked (which means it's NSFW -- it's got some swears).
Here's the first clip from Let Me In, Matt Reeves' remake of the brilliant Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In. And this scene looks very promising for fans of the original (which we wholeheartedly are).
The tabi shoes are an especially nice touch. From imgur.
