How could I have been completely oblivious to this TV series? After the fantastic experience that was This is England and This is England 86 this really should have been well and truly on my radar.

A poignant and saddening reminder of why the death penalty doesn't work. Words fail to express just how frightening and horrific the tragic chain of events were that allowed an innocent man to be put to death for a crime he didn't commit.

Saddened to learn of the recent passing of Adam Yauch.

How much does Nicki Minaj and the shit she peddles for music SUCK?

Ever beautiful Greenwich in the brief respite from the April showers.

If this is exactly as the woman says then there are no words to describe just how unbelievably devoid of humanity her boss really is. I cannot think of many people who would be willing to help their employer out to that kind of degree. Sadly, I know all too well from my own experiences, and that of many others, that employers do NOT care about you one single iota. You are simply another cog in their machine to be used and discarded at their leisure.

As much as it pays to take a lot of Dana White's words with a pinch of salt I have to agree 100% with his comments regarding M-1 and Fedor.

Have to admit, even with the piss-poor look of Captain America's costume, that the Avengers movie DOES look very promising. Trailers have a habit of doing that so it will be interesting to see if the movie does indeed deliver. Given the blogosphere's outpouring of intensive fandom there's some serious expectation to live up to.

The inimitable Daewon Song doing what he does best: tricks that nobody else can come close to.

Jones outpoints Evans in every possible area at UFC 145. To have consistently defeated 4 former UFC LHW champions in the space of a year and a half is an impressive feat and not far from clearing out the entire division.

Microchipping dogs to be compulsory.........as it will help reduce the number of dangerous dogs. Yeah, right. People really need to start looking at the broader picture here. This won't in any way, shape or form stop dangerous dogs but it will help to acclimatise people to the idea of microchip implants. No conspiracy theory here just observation informed from various sources, least of which is the mainstream media discussing how this could be used to track alzheimers patients, sex offenders, children (so they aren't at risk of abduction or accident) and other segments of society. Anybody seen the various media clips where the mexican officals were implanted?

Why isn't anybody questioning the privacy implications of the microchips integration into all kinds of databases, including biometric, and how that data could be accessed by all manner of public and private organisations? The privacy implications of being able to be tracked and monitored at all times? The types and amount of data able to be read, stored and transmitted by such devices? The ability for the microchip to receive data and how that could interfere with the body's electrical signals?

Nonsense? Far-fetched? Paranoid?

Tick, tock, tick, tock. Time's almost up. It's all there hidden in plain sight and still very few get it.

UFC 145 Jones Vs Evans. 2 former teammates, after months of trash talking, mind games and animosity, square off tonight in Atlanta. Despite Jones's recent dominance, beating 3 former LHW champions in the space of 1 year, could Rashad be the one to derail that train?

Chael Sonnen's trash talk is hilarious but the more I listen to this guy the more delusional I think he's become. Without the PED's and Anderson's injured rib I see the second time round against Silva going horribly against Chael. There's going to be some serious schooling, particularly on Silva's hometurf of Brazil.

That said I still find his dialogue entertaining, particularly this interview with Joe Rogan:

Am loving the current Batman Court of Owls series. The artwork and plot developments remind me of the Hush series which was just as phenomenal.

Horrified by the continued cover-up of the situation with Fukushima and even more so at the Japanese authorities who have, it seems, only recently decided to protect the future of the citizens of that country (although for many it will probably be far too late as the accumulated damage from exposure to the radiation will create many health problems.)

2012-4-20

Saddened that a woman who underwent such a horrific experience should have her life ended in such tragic circumstances.
