Finally, a use for tinfoil we can agree with. Kyle Defoor recommends you use it to shim older, loose fitting, X-series lights from SureFire.

The eternal question of which US Special Operations Force is better – US Navy SEALs or US Army Rangers – represented by a rap battle. I generally don’t go for these things, but this one is downright funny. Be forewarned. Some language is not safe for some workplaces. Consequently, we waited until Saturday night to post this.
A reader sent me this screencap of a post on Facebook. Considering we’ve been discussing reviews and dealing with bloggers/industry, the points made by James Yeager are certainly both poignant and germane. I don’t agree that print is dead, but he is right that it sure as hell is expensive to advertise in. I’d also like to point out that he doesn’t ask for money to take a look at stuff which is an ethical standard I can appreciate. And, I agree that videos can be very powerful marketing tools. But, I think that my point about reach might be at play. What do you guys think about his points?
It was one year ago that we had to tell you about the passing of John Noveske. Please take a moment to remember him.
