Are we prepared to live in a state of emergency? My previous research into emergency preparedness brought me to develop the Emergency Preparedness for the Pantry: Checklists To Get You Ready. These checklists are a great starting place, but are designed for natural disasters, fires, earthquakes, loss of power, etc., not specifically for dealing with bombings. How much different is emergency preparedness for surviving a nuclear attack and living in a world after radiation and fallout?

Being interested in self-reliance and emergency preparedness, I am always looking for new and unique methods of surviving an impending apocalyptic event. After watching the short-lived
CBS series Jericho, I was intrigued by one of the things portrayed on a particular episode: Making ice using fertilizer and water. Specifically using ammonium nitrate and water.

Since this is a as in development stage as IMBD page for Jericho has posted there is not much to report but yes it is coming and I am so glad to hear that. I was one of those fans that kept writing in when they were going to cancel the show and like many grumbled at series finally because it seemed a little rushed together. Jericho may have not been one of those wow you with the effects sci fi but it had a great post apocalyptic story plot of a town that survived a devastating Nuclear assault on the US ( Done by some factions in the US )and the story how they rallied to survive and eventually bring to light the injustice of the leadership that caused the holocaust. You can watch full episodes of the series on CBS.coms Jericho Video Season 1 and 2.
Note: No new news, but a summary of what has been released.

These 15 classic shows all died too young.

Fans of the CBS-terminated TV series JERICHO will recognize the name "Ravenwood." This was the ruthless mercenary force used by the illegitimate federal government at Cheyenne to subjugate the citizens of Kansas in the aftermath of a massive nuclear attack against two dozen American cities. As with much of JERICHO's superbly written story line, Ravenwood reflected real-world entities. Private mercenary forces have been used extensively throughout the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, as well as in many other theaters. And as JERICHO correctly depicted, these "private contractors" have largely operated without oversight or accountability. (Can anyone say, "Blackwater"?) For the most part, the American people are unfamiliar with these mercenary forces, because they normally operate in foreign theaters of war. JERICHO put them on the streets of U.S. cities. Now it looks like JERICHO was more prophecy than fiction.

Article about Futurama's return.
Editor: This paragraph about TV shows returning after an absence is interesting:
This trend may continue, suggests Dr. Jeffrey Weinstock of Central Michigan University, author of several books on pop culture and the editor of "Taking South Park Seriously" (SUNY Press, 2008). "Niche cable channels and Hulu give reruns time to develop a kind of following that network television usually doesn't allow," he says. "Niche audiences build up a momentum, a critical mass of potential viewers, and then you can bring [a show] back."

Looking through a copy of the comic catalog Previews recently, I realized how many canceled TV shows have been spun off into ongoing comic series: Buffy, Farscape, Jericho, even Galactica 1980... Why can't we say goodbye to things we love?
Editor: Good plug for the Jericho comic.

I bet you’ve often wondered that yourself. I think everyone has their own idea of how the end of the World as we know it (TEOTWAWKI) will look like. Some believe we’ll be over ran by Blue helmeted United Nation troops, some think we’ll exist as a Police state. Myself, I often thought it would resemble the TV Series “Jericho”.

Comcast and Time Warner say that their 'TV Everywhere' experiment will extend cable programming to the Internet "free and on demand," that is, as long as you are a cable subscriber. Should advocates of the free, online video model be worried?
Note: This ties into Epix and expalins further the method carriers will use to identify subscribers to allow them access to the EpixHD website.
