Theres been lots of chatter online about the “new” reporter. You see, computers can aggregate information and spit out a report. But, will they know facts from fiction? Trash in, trash out. Right? We see human reporters getting sucked in, what will happen when data is either incorrect or worse yet, manipulated? Read a little more about this and tell us what you think.
To be sure, the only thing tactical about Andromeda’s offering is the look. Having said that, this is a very cool lamp that will fit great in the war room.
Inspired by quad rail fore ends, Andromeda adapted the Picatinny rail to a tri-rail design.
Both the legs and shades are fully adjustable. They also integrate top end materials such as Black anodized aluminum, nostalgic filament bulb, composite grade nylon, woven cord, and and anodized accents.

I’ve got to start by telling you that I have been wearing Salewa footwear for about 6 months now. I love them.
Salewa is a 75 year old Italian mountaineering brand that just launched a footwear brand about 5 years ago and began bringing their products to the US about two-and-a-half years ago. This isn’t a life-style brand but rather a technical mountaineering brand. For instance, they featuring to toe lacing on every model. And, all boots feature sticky rubber rands. Finally, regardless of shoe or boot, they all feature a climbing edge along the forefoot.
As Salewa incorporates an anatomical European last, the fit can be a little narrow for some Americans. However, they include a feature that allows a more custom fit with their two-piece multi-fit footbed.
The Alp Trainer has been very popular with military and incorporates a Kevlar overlay along the lower portion of the upper. It’s very affordable at $199.
The Mountain Trainer features a little wider fit and a more rigid micro porous mid sole which makes it great for a carrying a heavy pack day in and day out. Being a little beefier, it goes for $219.
To cap it off, Salewa offers a 100% blister free guarantee.
The Sealed Reflex Sight from Trijicon was designed to be compact with a short focal plane to avoid that tube effect found with other sights. It features a 1.75 MOA dot with 10 manual brightness settings including 3 night vision. It is powered by a single AA battery along with a solar cell on the top of the sight. The solar cell provides ample power for the sight meaning the battery is only used when needed. The SRS also integrates a removable anti reflection device. Additionally, it features a Bobro throw lever mount.
