Getting Your Content Noticed

So you have written the most amazing article, checked the spelling and grammar, SEO'ed the life out of it to the best of your ability and now it's time to publish your masterpiece. That's the easy part over, the hard part now begins. There is no point in you writing hundreds of articles, designing the best looking blog and getting an SEO professional to tweak your site, if nobody is going to read your content. This is my guide to getting your content noticed.

We always talk about SEO and SMM as two of the most fundamental methods when ensuring your blog and it's content is ranked, however, with Google squeezing the life out of SEO techniques, it is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Obviously with SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) you tweak the mechanics of the site, were as, SMM (Social Media Marketing) is advertising your blog and content using your social media sites. Of course this can have it's disadvantages in the beginning stages of your blog.

Not Just Social Media Sites.

When you publish an article and then start sending links out via your social media, this is only going to bring in traffic, providing you have a lot of subscribers. If you only have a hand full of subscribers or followers, than that is the only traffic you are going to attract to your blog. Every time you publish, you are going to be reaching the same people all the time, which is fine, but you also want to attract new readers as often as possible.

There is a way to increase both subscribers and followers to your social networking sites and thus bring in new readers to your blog, it's almost a case of the chicken and egg, which should come first.

When you are planning your blogging schedule for each week, you need to make sure, that for at the very least an hour every day, you plan in time to write comments and visit other sites in your genre. It is vital that you interact with the entire community, a community which is never going to visit your blog if they don't know you're there. However, there are rules to this style of self promotion that you must follow in order for it to work.

Rules To Community Building.

First of all be patient, like anything in life, when you are the new boy or girl on the block, it can take a bit of time to be accepted, so be patient.

Try to build up a rapport with the blog or channel owner, again this is something that will take time.

When you leave comments on another persons blog or YouTube Channel, ensure the comments are genuine. Don't just leave generic comments, actually respond to the topic and have something interesting to write. The more interesting and beneficial your comment is to the topic, the more likely you are to be accepted and also have others visit your blog.

Never ever leave your URL in the comments section, I know this sounds silly because you want people to visit your blog, but when you leave a comment, your profile for that particular platform will have all the relevant information within it. For example, to leave a comment on a YouTube video, you have to have a Google+ account, when you leave a response, your name will appear at the side or above what you have written and so if others want to know more about you, they will click on your profile link. If it is relevant to the topic, you can name your blog, but don't over do it, don't name your blog on every response, this is classed as spam.

Never ever use profanities and always be polite, it is so easy and cowardly to be rude from behind a computer keyboard, from the safety of your own home. Treat people and the community how you want them to treat you and more over, how you would talk to them if you were face to face with them. If you do leave profanities or are rude to other members of the community, you will be blocked and lose potential friends and traffic to your blog.

Conclusion

If you follow this simple guideline, every time you leave a genuinely interesting comment on a blog or video, other members of the community will want to now who you are and if you have your own blog. This is how you gain extra subscribers, readers and above all, friends. However, you must be consistent, there is no point doing this for a week and then not bothering to returning, if you do this, then people will forget about you very quickly and all the work you have done will be for nothing.

Don't forget, manners cost nothing, as my old Dad used to tell me, "If you have nothing nice to say, keep your mouth shut." a slightly more to the point version of "If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all." My Dad never really beat about the bush when driving home a point. Above all, as corny as it may sound, treat people how you expect them to treat you. Without people, your blog and content is all for nothing and you might as well stop.

The Real Zombie Virus

2014-02-02T15:50:00.001+00:00

Real Zombie Virus

I've conducted a lot of research into this article and I want to first of all assure you that everything in this article is absolutely real and 100% verifiable, also, some of the images and video clips are of an incredibly disturbing nature, please keep this in mind before playing a video clip or viewing images. We have been bombarded with Zombie movies and TV shows for decades, but even more so in the past five years, but what is the possibility of a real Zombie virus either being unleashed upon us or developing within us?

WARNING! Upsetting and Disturbing Images & Video Clips!

I've been a long time fan and subscriber to Alex Jones, InfoWars and PrisonPlanet TV and on almost 99.9% of what he talks about is real or about to become reality. I say this because everything I listen to I research for myself and discover the true facts, which always coincides with Alex Jones, love the man or hate him, but he is always right. One of the things Alex has spoken about over the years is the behind the scenes agenda of Hollywood, the CIA connections and the hidden messages that they try to manipulate us all with. I personally think this is one of the reason we have so many A List actors and big Box Office hits in the Zombie genre; are they trying to prepare us for something that they know about and we don't?

My article is about the real Zombie virus and I am going to show you how and why this whole fictional horror story could so easily become a reality.

Cannibal Traits Of Bath Salts

First of all let me tell you about some of the most horrific drugs circulating the population at the moment, all of which have been attributed to Zombie like characteristics. The first is known as "Bath Salts" which I am sure most of you have already heard about. Perhaps the most widespread article attached to "Bath Salts" is the so called Miami Cannibal, were Rudy Eugene attacked a homeless man, eating flesh from his face. When Miami PD arrived on the sense and tried to remove Rudy Eugene from the homeless man, he growled at the officers like an animal and attempted to bite them, the officers had no choice but to shot Rudy, to stop the assault.

Aside from this cannibalistic nature attributed to the drug, super human strength, lack of fear, allowing the drug taker to feel invincible and not fear anything, including police officers with guns pointed at them. The superhuman strength that they feel is more lack of fear than anything else, but frightening and worrying none the less.

Mind Altering Drug Scopolamine

The next drug is from Columbia, the heart of drugs world and is called Scopolamine. Of all the drugs on this list, I think this one really frightens me the most. The drug originates from a plant and to make matters worse, the flower on the plant is beautiful to look at. However, not only is this drug dangerous when taken in its drug taking form, but even if you so much as fall a sleep under the plant, you will suffer the same effects.

So what are the effects? The nickname for the drug should really give you a clue of it's dangerous nature, and that is "The Devils Breath". Simply when the drug has been taken, it opens your mind to anything you are told to do, almost like a truth serum, only much stronger. the drug is more used by criminal gangs as opposed to recreational. Gangs would blow the powder into someones face or in a drink and wait until they have ingested the spores from the plant. Once this happens the gang can get the victim to do anything at all, it has been used as a date rape drug, people have woken up in baths with organs or limbs missing, with a sign written and left telling them, they have 5 hours to get to hospital otherwise they'll die.

Horrific stories such as this one and many other similar stories, are exactly the reason why local people do not take the drug recreationally.

From Russia With Love : Flesh Eating Drug Krokodil

The next drug has made a massive impact in Russia and is now entering other parts of Europe and America. This is the next part of the puzzle in creating a Zombie virus. The drug is called Krokodil, which is Russian for Crocodile. The drug gets its name on account of the flesh eating activity from the inside out, that takes place all over the human body. The drug will start to peel of skin making bone and muscle visible, after a while the remains start to look like reptilian scale, but it doesn't stop there the stench from the rotting flesh is also similar to the smell of a crocodile. As I have mentioned above, please view the video clips with extreme caution and make sure tiny eyes are not about as the images will scare little tiny innocent minds.

Natural Born Killer Of The Fungus Form

So that is the drug side of things out of the way, here comes the science and the nature side. In the jungle floors of Thailand, a fungus thrives, releasing spores onto the jungle floor and into the air, the spores however also land on ants that are indigenous to the area. After a short period of time the spores embed into the ants blood system and begin eating the ant from the inside out, and making the ant become deformed, disorientated and walking in circles.

Because of this zombie like behaviour, the other ants in the group can sense the danger within the infected ant and thus take it away from the rest of the colony so as not to infect any more ants. By this stage in the process the infected ant also looks completely different over the other ants, as it changes colour and is body becomes distorted. Then, when the sun is highest in the sky, any infected ant, crawls to the highest leaf on the tallest tree and basking in the sun the ants front pincers clamp shut like lock jaw, causing the ant to eventually die. As the ants body begins to decompose, from inside the head of the ant, a growth appears, breaking through the head and growing like a plant, as it reaches full growth a flower opens at the top, dropping more spore and repeating the entire process for the next unsuspecting ant to become infected.

Transhumanist Ray Kurzweil

Finally we have Transhumanism and in particular, perhaps the most dangerous Scientist in the world today, Raymond Kurzweil. We don't know exactly how much is real and in use at the minute, but we do know the vision Transhumanists like Ray Kurzweil hold. One such vision, and again allegedly all in the name of medical research, is microscopic nanotechnology that will be inserted into the human body or brain. This technology will flow through the blood and latch onto to nerves, blood cells and other vital areas of the body. From there, Doctors will be able to reprogram and attack whatever major disease is attacking the brain, or heart or lungs; whatever it may be.

Of course we know that in this day in age, technology this advanced never escapes the military and the government. If we take into consideration the vision Obama, Cameron and their masters have with regard to a One World Order, such technology could definitely be used against the human population.

The Real Zombie Virus In Process

So heres my theory regarding a real Zombie Virus. If we take all of the examples I have provided above, give them to some deranged Chemist or Scientist with the same vision as Kurzweil, they could very easily create and mutate these drugs to help meet their demands. Then with a delivery system such as the Microscopic Nanotechnology described, the government could release millions of airborne units breathed in by us and then the drugs released, causing a very painful drawn out death, possibly killing millions of others along the way. This would be the Zombie Virus of the future, perhaps not the same as that seen in Hollywood movies, but possible non the less.

I am sure some of you will think what I have written is too far fetched, but living in a world where Anthrax, Sars Virus and other deadly viruses have become weaponised, is it really such a stretch to think that a team of Chemists could develop the most deadly of viruses, a Zombie Virus and infect millions around the world in order to uphold the Globalist sick agenda, whilst maintain a manageable population count?

App Developers Warned

2014-01-30T23:27:00.001+00:00

App Developers Warned

App developers warned, that is the message from the Office of fair trading and in particular Gaming App Developers. The Office of fair trading have issued a shake up in policy for app developers and have given a two week period for the change to occur. The reason for this shake up in the app developer world is in app purchases and the hidden costs they have been racking up for parents.

Game Developers

Hundreds of parents across the world have been, much to their astonishment, hit with iTunes fees falling into the hundreds of pounds, only to discover that the fee was racked up by their unsuspecting child playing a free game they downloaded form the App Store, be it iTunes, Google Play Store or any other.

In App Purchasing

children and parents have been downloading games from the App store, which are advertised as free, however, with a lot of the games, you can buy add ons, which take real money from your actual bank account or credit card. For example, I play a game called Tapped Out, it is a Simpsons game were you build Springfield and the characters from the hit TV series. Throughout the game you set your charters to work and they will earn money for you, whereby you can buy additional buildings. However, some of the characters and buildings can only be purchased by Doughnuts, but in order to get Doughnuts, you need to spend real money for them. You can earn Doughnuts, but approximately one every blue moon and on average buildings can cost 200 Doughnuts, so impatient idiots such as myself pay for more.

In App Purchases

Because this aspect of the game is not made very clear when purchasing, children are clicking the buy option, not understanding that when they do this, real money is being taken from their parents accounts. Of course the parents have to take some responsibility on this matter and I know what I am talking about, as this very matter happened to me.

My Farmville Nightmare

A few years ago, a game called Farmville, which used to be a Facebook game, was eventually launched on the App store. Again this was a game were you played the part of a farmer and had to build up your farm by purchasing animals. This was a perfect game for kids and I allowed my then 7 year old son to play the game. A week later I noticed that my son had this amazing farm on the iPad and when I checked my iTunes Account, I soon discovered that my account had been charged over £330.

Farmville Nightmare

Obviously I was in shock and didn’t know what to do, however, the only one at fault was me, it was my fault entirely, not my sons nor the game developers. I should have password protected my iTunes account and been watching my son much closer. I did get the money back after I explained to them what had happened and I also admitted that this was my fault. I personally think the admission of guilt helped in getting my money back, however, in my eyes then and now, they did not have to pay me the money back.

Conclusion

Needless to say this has been a widespread problem to which the Office of Fair trading are cracking down and given game developers two weeks to make the matter much more clear on the initial purchase. Once again parents escape responsibility and society is blamed for the mistakes of their children. They are our children and we must as decent parents be accountable for their actions, certainly at least until they are 16, from then on, it is not practical to know their every move. Any way I am not offering parental advice, goodness knows I have made hundreds of mistakes and am in no position what so ever to offer advice.

What do you think, should Game Developers be held responsible, or should it be the parents, really what more can the developers do? I’d love to get your thoughts on the matter.

App Developers Warned

North South Divide

2014-01-30T22:11:00.002+00:00

The North South Divide

I am originally from Belfast, N Ireland, and as I am sure most of you know, there has been a massive North South divide between Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland, however, this divide has been religious based, exposing Protestant and Catholic differences. The North South Divide I want to talk about in this article, is that found here in England and the cultural class difference that has either evolved or been manufactured.

As I have mentioned, I am from N Ireland, however I joined the British Army aged 16 and have lived in England, with the exception of time away with the Army, all my adult life. I am now 40 and have experienced living in some of the most affluent areas in the South of England and some of the more impoverished areas in the North of England.

But of course, this North South divide in England has been fomenting for years, way before I ever landed on England's shores, more importantly, for the people living in England, this divide is clear, not just from a poverty to riches perspective, but also business, academic and criminal perspective.

Conservative And Labour Parties

For a long time, there were two government bodies, setup to represent both divides. The Conservative Party always supported the upper middle class to upper class and the Old Labour Party was originally founded to give the working class a voice. Unfortunately, that ended with Tony Blairs New Labour, with people in the North of England, slowly realising that they no longer had a voice in Parliament.

Some people would say that the divide is much less prominate today that it was fifty years ago, others not so much. However, whatever the case, I am not sure too many people would argue that entering into the beginning of 2014, that clear divide is becoming more and more prominate as it was fifty years ago.

Most of this is down to the Harrow / Eton type politicians that have taken over government. I have always wondered why we as people, think that just because a politician has been educated at Eton or Harrow or schools of this status, wears a pinstripe suit from Savile Row and when asked a simple yes or no question, bumbles about like an extra in a Hugh Grant movie, any more capable of running a country that an equally intelligent working class man or women. Whitehall and Parliament is really an extension of the old boys, public school network and by virtue will never understand the struggles of a poverty stricken family with no chance of change. As a result of never having experienced such hardship, it is not going to be at the forefront of their mind when deciding economic cuts and business partnerships with foreign companies.

As an ex British Army soldier and belonging to a regiment steeped in class structure, The Brigade of Guards, I would much rather follow a Platoon Sgt of 12 years experience into battle, than an Officer of equal service length but most of which served from the comfort of his office. I view Government in a similar fashion when talking about this subject of class.

From Chelsea to Durham

I personally lived in very wealthy Chelsea in London, just off Sloane Square and then to Durham in the North East of England. The contrasts in most instances are overwhelming, and I must confess that of all the areas in the North East of England, Durham City is probably the more affluent, which is purely on the basis of it being a University City.

Because I have lived in both areas, I can only talk about my own personal experiences and deduce my own opinions and views. I am quite sure that people will disagree strongly with me and equally, I'm sure people will be able to relate to my opinions and views.

One of the largest differences that I see keeping the North South divide alive and well, is the lack of business's willing to invest in the North of England as opposed to the influx of business opportunities in the South Of England. Given the age we currently live in, where so much business and commerce is conducted and dictated by our use of the internet, one would assume this to not be the case, but currently in the North East, most of the industry, i.e the Steal, Mining and Shipping industries have long gone, none of which where replaced by other business looking to invest and take advantage of the incredibly high working ethics that used to keep the North Of England alive.

Sunderland Car Plant : Nissan

For example, currently in the North East, the largest company employing people is probably Nissan, the Japanese car manufacturing plant. Should this plant close down, and it has almost come to it a few times in the last ten years, the Sunderland and further regions would suffer gravely. Another example of this is from an academic stand point. A friend of ours, who moved to Durham from the south, worked in a publishing house, editing and proofreading novels. When she moved here, this highly qualified person with years of experience, could only get a job proofreading text books for the University. The reason for this was simply due to the fact publishing house are like gold dust in the North East. Most of the big houses are in London radiating out to the M25 ring.

As a result, the lack of resources and business's investing in a region over such prolonged periods of time, has built up resentment in people, which over time filters through to the younger generation who feel they have been neglected and have lost the desire to work as there is no work to find. A small majority, decide that in order to get any work at all, they are going to have to move away from the North to the South, but why should this be the case.

Conclusion

In terms of the actual people, I found that living in the South, albeit London, people appeared very isolated, apprehensive, always in a rush and very guarded, not giving much time to socialise unless with their own very close circles. In the North I found that people where much more inclined to stop in the street and chat, help one an other and yes, unemployment is much higher in the North, but from my experience, this is most certainly not what the people of the North want.

There is no doubt about it, because of circumstance and the time period that has lapsed, people living in the South are much more ambitious than their counterparts in the North, however, as I have previously mentioned, due to the UK governments failing to protect the once thriving industries in the North, people have become disenchanted and cynical about the future changing for them. Living in an environment, regardless of geographical locality, were time after time, the people have been metaphorically kicked in the teeth, it should only be expected to find a high rate of unemployment and lack of inspiration for younger generations.

change must come to the North and not by taking from the South, but by simply helping push foreign businesses further North, once people are handed that life line, will grab it with both hands and gradually over time will change the cancerous mind set that has evolved and taken hold thus far.

Your Voice Counts

So what have your experiences been in this subject arena, have you or your family suffered or flourished as a result of where they have lived? Is academic achievement much more valued in the South over the North? Do you feel that the Government, regardless of the political party, could do more to entice or spread the business wealth throughout the country? I would really love to get your thoughts and experiences on this matter and hopefully build up a better understanding of this topic, also depending on response I will follow this article up with a short survey, hoping to help pin down the views of the people that matter, YOU.

Madeleine McCann

2014-01-30T21:55:00.001+00:00

Little Madeleine McCann

I am absolutely sure that all of you know about the Madeleine McCann story, a story that touched everyones hearts and in particular the hearts of parents. The thought of having a child taken from you, is what nightmares are made from, however, in the case of little Madeleine McCann, for her parents, Kate and Gerry, the not knowing has got to be the worst. So I think what I am about to write is going to be incredibly controversial and not attract a lot of support, but I also think, secretly some people will agree with my train of thought.

However, before I start my article in full, I just want to make one thing very clear. I think what happened to Kate and Gerry McCann was the most despicable thing that could happen to a parent, nor do I think they deserved for it to happen, contrary to a lot of opinions regarding the fact Madeleine was left alone, Kate and Gerry McCann don't need any of us to remind them of this. I would also say that as a parent myself, if the same happened to my wife and I, I would never ever stop looking for my child, just as Kate and Gerry McCann have not stopped.

Having said all that, here is my dilemma. When Madeleine went missing and all the speculation that the parents where responsible for the abduction died down, money started to plough into a fund, set up to employ the best detectives the family could find, which included ex Special Forces personnel, ex Scotland Yard Detectives etc. But that was not an endless supply of money and it is important to note that the fund is not registered as a charity as they are only looking for Madeleine and not other children. This also means that when money is donated, the fund have to pay tax on the money.

This week, detectives from Scotland Yard went back over to Portugal in an attempt to interview three men, who where in the area Madeleine McCann was abducted from on the very same night, phone records showed that all three men were in contact with one another and they had been picked up on burglary charges. The Scotland Yard detectives hopped to make an arrest and gain information about the night little Madeleine McCann went missing, but to no avail.

250,000 People Reported Missing Every Year In The UK

Over 250,000 people are reported missing in the UK every year, a large percentage of which are children. A very similar case to Madeleine McCann was that of little Ben Needham, who aged 21 months, was on holiday with his family in Greece, he too was abducted and this was in 1991. But there are many more cases of this nature, however we are not aware of a fraction of them, so why is little Madeleine McCann's case more important than any of the thousands of other children abducted.

Of course to Kate and Gerry, Madeleine is number one priority and I wouldn't expect it to be any other way, but why after almost 7 years are the press and police still dedicating so much air time and resources to the case. We don't see or read about police from Scotland Yard investigating Ben Needham's case and it is not because his mother can't be bothered looking for him or has given up looking for him, because I am sure that is not the case. And why was so much money donated to Kate and Gerry McCann over the years and not the other parents of abducted children.

Again, regards to funding, lots of children that have been abducted have websites or Social Networking sites setup in their name, hopeful of resolution, but none have attracted the financial backing or publicity of Little Madeleine McCann.

The Controversial Part

So here is the controversial part of the article. The questions I have highlighted in this article, are questions that I have asked friends and family when we have been sat taking and none of them have the answers. I am sure as you read this article you will come to your own conclusions as to why Madeleine McCann's case has been granted so much support from the press and police, but here is mine.

I believe, that Kate and Gerry McCann have received so much help from people and bodies in very high places due to their social standing. Gerry McCann was a Brain Surgeon of incredibly high standing and in very high regard within the profession, equally, Kate was a GP. Certainly in the UK this makes them part of the upper class in society. Ben Needham on the other hand, his family had no such standing.

Conclusion

Of course money talks, but I am not suggesting that in this scenario, I think it has more to do with social status than money. Don't get me wrong, if this was my child, I would use anything at all I had that would help me find them and I am not saying for a single second that I think Kate or Gerry McCann are in the wrong here. My concern is more aimed at the media and police, neither bodies normally spend more than a month on a case or story after is has run it's course. After public interest dies, so to does the story or police presence.

For the parents and families of all the other children that have been abducted or gone missing not deserve exactly the same media coverage that the McCann's have experienced. After all, the longer the case is plastered all over the press and media, the higher the chance of a child being found, the more awareness there is for every case the better. I guess all I am trying to say is that I absolutely agree with all the media exposure the McCann's have received thus far, but so should all the other parents receive the same, no one child is more important than the next in these circumstance, at least not from a media perspective.

I wish with all my heart that I had the expertise to find Madeleine McCann and bring her back home, as I wish I could do for every family suffering from the same devastating loss. I look at Kate and Gerry McCann, and they look empty, I think it is only for their other children and the hope of finding Madeleine, that they can carry on. My own 9 year old daughter prays for Madeleine every single night without fail, every time she sees her picture in the press she gets excited thinking that she has been found and is back home with her Mummy and Daddy. I also have a son aged 11, the same age Madeleine will be this year, I say will because I too pray that she is alive and well and will one day be reunited with her parents. I just wish it was a slightly more level playing field.

Top 5 Steam Machines

2014-01-25T23:22:00.002+00:00

Top 5 Steam Machines

Steam has grown in the last three or four years exponentially, readying itself to take on the big boys of the console world, Microsoft's Xbox, Sony's Playstation and Nintendo's Wii U. As a result of their growth, Steam have started to add a few additions to their already incredibly successful cross platform gaming experience. By allowing other third party vendors to build consoles around Steam, Consoles are piping up everywhere and none more so than the very recent CES 2014. This will allow gamers to purchase a single console and have access to thousands of games, all interconnected to the internet. Although the other consoles offer this similar experience, Steam may just have the edge in a few fundamental areas. After looking around this is my Top 5 Steam Machines that are either currently available or soon to come.

Alienware Steam Machine

I think a lot of people will agree with me in saying that most of the Alienware stuff looks pretty awesome, and with the name Alienware comes the expectation of big performance and high quality materials, needless to say that the same can be said for their Steam Machine.

Although Alienware displayed their Steam machine at CES 2014, they held a lot of the specs and pricing close to their chest. A few things that are known is that Alienware Steam Machine will use an Intel processor and Nvidia graphics, as previously mentioned there is no word on pricing but the release date is set for September 2014. The unit itself looks awesome, absolutely typical of Alienware products.

iBuyPower

iBuyPower is the next Steam Machine on my list, another company showcasing at CES 2014. The thing I love about this unit is the design. I know it is wrong to select a device on design, its all about spec, but this device really looks cool. Round the centre of the box is a bright green light, which you will apparently be able to change via an iOS / Android App, which I am not sure if that means you can change the colour or brightness.

The specs for the iBuyPower are a Quad Core Athlon X4 740 processor, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB HDD and a Radeon R7 260X graphics card. The iBuyPower is due to be released in June 2014 and a price tag of £300 has been placed on it.

Digital Storm Bolt II

The Digital Strom Bolt II is at the very high end of the Steam Machines that I have seen and read about, this will be more aimed at your Pro Gamer. Just looking at the Digital Storm Bolt II and you will instantly know it is a high powered unit and gaming on this machine is going to be an experience.

The specs are an Intel Core i7 -4770k processor, Nvidia GTX 780 Ti graphics card, a whopping 16GB RAM and a perfect 128GB SSD HDD combined with another 1TB Hard Drive. Obviously for a high performing system like this, you know the price is going to be high, and so for me you really need to know if you want a Steam Only machine or a big powered PC. U.S price is set at $2,584 and UK price is £1,574. For the Digital Storm Bolt II, there is not much longer to wait as it is available this month, (Jan 2014).

Valve's Steam Machine

Valve are the company that developed Steam and so this is their very own machine, all the other consoles in this list are third party vendors who have purchased the licence to run Steam on a console. The design of the Valve Steam Machine is very stylish and minimalist, just perfect for fitting in with other entertainment equipment in your living room.

The spec for the Valve Steam Machine is not too shabby either, not up with the Digital Storm Bolt II, but never the less and worthy system. You will have the option of Intel's Core i3, i5 or i7 processors and the graphics card will be the Nvidia titan, GTX660, GTX760 or the GTX 780. So as you can see there is a wide choice to chose from.

Cyberpower PC

The CyberpowerPc at first glance looks a bit like an Xbox, but when you get a closer more detailed look at the system, it really does look very stylish, something that wouldn't look out of place on any Geeks setup. Again the CyberpowerPC is not a high end system in terms of spec, but it is certainly a good choice to dip your toe into the world of Steam if you haven't already.

The CyberpowerPC has two models available, so specs for the lower end model are as follows, 8GB DDR3 RAM and 500GB HDD, 3.9GHz dual core AMD processor and 2GB AMD Radeon R9 270 graphics card, which will cost you £305 or $499. The higher end model is 8GB DDR3 RAM and 500GB HDD, 3.5GHz Intel Core i3 processor and a 2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 graphics card, this model will cost £425 or $699. Both models however will not be available until the second half of 2014.

Conclusion

Steam has come along leaps and bounds over the past few years and there is no doubting its popularity, however, will it provide enough entertainment to compete with the new Xbox One and Playstation, given all the new technology invested in those units. Even the Nintendo Wii U is a much more established system, even though it has been losing sales. I guess this will be a wait and see game. What are your thoughts on the new influx of Steam Machines that will be flooding our stores soon, are you interested in getting one or are you happy with your current console. Have you too much invested in your current console to move away to a new console such as Steam? I'd love to get your thoughts on the matter.

SAS Hero Abandoned By The British Government.

SAS Hero Abandoned By The British Government.

In the United Kingdom, we are fortunate to have the best Special Forces Regiment in the world; The Special Air Service, otherwise known as the SAS or simply The Regiment. Only a few select few from all over the British Army make it into their ranks and once their secrecy is the number one priority. The reason I call them the best in the world is really quite simple, all other special forces groups from around the world either call upon them to help train their instructors or model their training on the SAS. Groups such as Delta Force the American equivalent, GSG9 the German Anti Terrorist Unit, Mossad the Israeli special forces, the Australian SAS and many others. However I am not here to give you a history lesson on the finest fighting force the world has ever witnessed, I am writing about an SAS hero abandoned by the British Government.

SAS Hero Danny Nightingale

SAS Hero, Danny Nightingale, aged 37, married with two young children, also served a total of 17 years in the British Army, 11 of which where with The Regiment, has recently returned from Iraq and on doing so has been locked up in an English prison for 18 months. So lets think for what terrible crime would our British Government lock away such a hero, who fought to ensure those very same politicians can sit safely in their rich surroundings sipping expensive whiskey. Was it Rape? No. Was it Murder? No, Was it pedophilia? Absolutely not. Perhaps was it burglary? No. So what on earth could this hero have done to warrant such a hefty sentence after all he has done for his country, all he has sacrificed. Well let me explain.

During his tour in Iraq, one of his duties was to help train new recruits into the Iraqi Army, one of the cornerstone reasons we are feed as to the reason our soldiers are still in this war, to help ensure better trained Iraqi Police and Army. On completion of this duty, he was presented with a pistol from his very grateful students, it is customary that when other Armies cross paths or other regiments cross paths, even if it is a football game, they present each other with something from their own regiment. Obviously these young Iraqi men only had the pistol and presented it to him. So on returning to England he was arrested by police and this was his crime. Sgt Danny Nightingale did not brandish the weapon at anyone, in fact by the time Sgt Nightingale had returned home, he had completely forgotten about the weapon as it was still left in his bags packed away.

Release The Innocent Victim.

Sgt Danny Nightingale's poor wife has been tirelessly writing letters to the Prime Minister to get involved and help have Sgt Nightingale released. Obviously he should never have been in this position in the first place, however the hope now is that Sgt Nightingale can be home safely with his wife and two children for Christmas.

Despite Mrs Nightingales constant writing to No. 10 Downing Street, the backing of every soldier in the British Army, the backing of the SEAL Team who killed Bin Laden and the British people, Mr Cameron is still not getting involved and so by association agrees with the system that has jailed our SAS hero.

The Broken British Judicial System

So lets take a quick look at our disgusting judicial system, this system that is supposed to protect us from murders, from the terrible crime of rape, pedophiles and many other criminal offences. So here are a few examples of our British Judges at their finest, I have also provided links to the full stories on these Judges should you wish to know more about them.

I will start with one of my most mildest of examples, however one of the most recent. On the 7th of September, Judge Peter Bowers was paraded all over the press after not only letting a burglar off a two and half year sentence, he then followed his disgusting decision by commenting at Teesside Crown Court: "It takes a huge amount of courage for somebody to burgle somebody's house. I wouldn't have the nerve."

My next example of the amazing British Justice system concerns Judge Gareth Hawkesworth, unfortunately this is polar opposite of the above example and is perhaps one of the most terrible examples of British Justice. Brought before Judge Hawkesworth was a 59 year old monster, who from 1974 to 2010, terrorised six young girls aged from five to 13. Judge Hawkesworth in all his infinite wisdom decided to sentence the monster to five and a half years.

Judge Michael Roach is another disgrace to our judicial system. After a man groomed a 12 year old little girl on the internet met her and had sex with her, was completely let off due to Judge Michael Roach ruling it was consensual sex. Only a year or so before this terrible miscarriage of justice the same Judge jailed a Doctor for one year after it was found he indecently assaulted nine of his patients.

So here we have three judge's of the highest order allowing convicted dangers to society off scott free or very light sentences and yet an SAS hero that gets longer than an internet sex offender and our Prime Minister sees no miscarriage of justice on any of these cases. We really do live in a messed up society.

It is so important that we make as much noise as possible about this and let the world know about the disgusting treatment of SAS Hero Sgt Danny Nightingale by the very Government who sent him to a war based on lies in the first place. I would also like to mention, that all the way through this article I have been referring to Sgt Danny Nightingale as a Hero and although I know he would hate to be classed as such, I have done so because in the eyes of the British Public, this is exactly how he should be viewed. I served in the 1st Bn Irish Guards for 12 years and was medically retired due to a spinal injury and I have friends who have also served in the SAS, none of which class themselves as hero's, the same of which applies to soldiers throughout the British Army.

Do You Have Faith In The Justice System

2012-09-25T00:41:00.001+01:00

British Justice System

For many years, the British Justice System has been the corner stone of law and order throughout the entire world, many countries have embraced our system as their own in a bid for true justice. However in 2012 can we really still say the same thing about our justice system, can you really put all your faith in such a system when it comes to seeking Justice as a victim of crime in any of it's horrible forms. More and more often we read articles in broadsheets and tabloids about High Court Judges passing ridiculously light sentences for some of the most heinous crimes know to man. So my question to you is, do you have faith in the Justice System? however don't answer just yet, read this article and then I would love to read your answers.

I think at one point or another, we have all felt a miscarriage of justice had been served upon us, even in the lightest term of the word, perhaps had a decision at school go against us or maybe even in a court of law. However the types of miscarriages I am referring to here, are ones consciously made by our so called elite, in what one would assume, a most simplest of cases. I would like to point out before I put forward to you my examples, although in the main I am referring to the British Justice system, I would like you all, no matter where you are from to enter into the debate and perhaps leave you own examples.

Judge Peter Bowers:

I will start with one of my most mildest of examples, however one of the most recent. On the 7th of September, Judge Peter Bowers was paraded all over the press after not only letting a burglar off a two and half year sentence, he then followed his disgusting decision by commenting at Teesside Crown Court: "It takes a huge amount of courage for somebody to burgle somebody's house. I wouldn't have the nerve." Not content letting this individual off a pretty deserving two and half year sentence for thinking he had the right to take another persons hard earned belongings, the Judge actually congratulated him for bravery. Men and Women who police this country are brave, Men and Women who risk their lives putting out fires and getting sick and injured people to hospital are brave, Men and Women who go to war for this country are brave, scum bags who take what does not belong to them just cause the can, are not brave. In fairness to the individual on trial, even he said the judge was out of order and that it was not a brave thing to do, as did the young man's family.

Judge Gareth Hawkesworth:

My next example of the amazing British Justice system concerns Judge Gareth Hawkesworth, unfortunately this is polar opposite of the above example and is perhaps one of the most terrible examples of British Justice. Brought before Judge Hawkesworth was a 59 year old monster, who from 1974 to 2010, terrorised six young girls aged from five to 13. Judge Hawkesworth in all his infinite wisdom decided to sentence the monster to five and a half years, probably only serve half of the time passed. However Judge Hawkesworth has form when it comes to child abusers, not long before this case, he completely let off a 14 year old boy who raped a 4 year old little girl. I fully understand that when a case of this magnitude involves two children in the eyes of the law, that decisions are much harder to make. However, as a father of a 12 year old daughter, she knows the difference between right and wrong and of course she gets things wrong and get's herself in trouble, but never in a million years would she harm another living soul. Not all children are brought up in such moral environments, but in my opinion Judge Hawkesworth is just as dangerous as the criminals who stand before him.

Judge Michael Roach:

Judge Michael Roach is another disgrace to our judicial system. After a man groomed a 12 year old little girl on the internet met her and had sex with her, was completely let off due to Judge Michael Roach ruling it was consensual sex. Only a year or so before this terrible miscarriage of justice the same Judge jailed a Doctor for one year after it was found he indecently assaulted nine of his patients.

The are so many other cases of similar value to that highlighted above. As members of the public we can sit at our breakfast table reading such filth and feeling outrage and sympathy for the real victims, but in reality there is nothing we can do, but why can we not do anything.

I would love to know, when we as a nation decided that just because a person was educated in Eton, Cambridge or Oxford; that these people where immune from responsibility or that they were the right and only people to run our country. when the truth of the matter is, many of these so called academics, have been put through systems where intelligence is not always the requirement for success, status and excellence. I can't right what I think happens in places such as the above, however these people, our MP's, Lords and QC are supposed to be the very foundation of leadership, etiquette, honour etc, however the truth is so far from this it is unreal.

MP Andrew Mitchell:

MP Andrew Mitchell was recently employed by the Prime Minister to become the chief whipping boy, in other words, responsible for discipline within the Conservative Party. On Friday evening whilst leaving a long day at the office from No. 10 Downing Street, our beloved privately educated, and therefore obviously the only man for the job, began to fire abuse towards the Police Officers on guard at No 10's gates. This reason for this rage was simply due to the fact Mr Mitchell was unable to use a certain gate for leaving and was requested to use another. Mr Mitchell was made to apologise by Mr. David Cameron, however Mr. Mitchell is still denying he abused the Police Officers with certain language, despite the fact three separate Officers recorded what was said. Had this of been a civilian, they quite rightly would have been arrest under a Public Order offence, but because it has come from one of the countries elite, that is OK.

Of course there are some outstanding men and women serving the British Justice System and for them, they must feel as though they are fighting an uphill battle to bring light upon the system that once shone so brightly.

I know I sound like I am ranting and I apologise for this, however it saddens me that the very people we vote into power to help us do what is right as a nation are every bit as corrupt as the common criminal on the street, only difference is perhaps a Savile Row Suite as opposed to a Hoodie. We are constantly bombarded with lies from Judges and Politicians alike telling us they have the countries best interest's at heart, when in actual fact the only interest they have is their own. I'm not an educated man but I am a man of honour, Compassion dignity and integrity, qualities we see less and less of from our so called elite, our leaders and law makers.

Should Guns Be Banned

2012-07-23T21:11:00.001+01:00

In America, certain States are allowed to bear arms, it is in the American Constitution, it is their constitutional right. Now I am not an American citizen nor do I know much about American law and the very constitution the nation was founded upon, however I feel this is a very universal topic and I would like to get your views and opinions on the matter.

If an intruder, enters your home, in the dead of night, whilst you, your Wife or Husband and children sleep; should you have the right to use whatever force is necessary to protect your family and property? In my opinion, as a husband and father of three young children, and former member of the British Army, if anyone jeopardises my families safety I will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening. Should that involve killing a person... then so be it. They way I view this particular situation is, the individual intruding into my home should not be there and they have not been invited.

However, here in the UK, the intruder, nine times out of ten has the law on their side. There have been so many cases in this country where an intruder has been badly damaged whilst in the middle of burglary or trying to hurt another family member and not only has the intruder placed a claim for compensation, but the owner of the property has been charged with GBH, (Grievous Bodily Harm). Many individuals have called for a reform in our laws and some have even asked for the right to bear arms, but no government has stepped up to the plate and even so much as broached the subject never mind change it.

Currently in America, many feel that Barrack OBama and the men stood behind him pulling the strings, have helped orchestrate, terrible atrocities, such as Columbine and more recently the Denver cinema complex massacre, in order to push through legislation that will result in a total gun ban throughout America. States such as Chicago and New York already have gun bans in place and yet the level of gun crime has not receded.

The argument is this, if a gun ban is in place and no individual is by law permitted to own a gun, then the gun crime level will be reduced. However the type of individuals likely to commute a gun crime and not generally law biding citizens and will find a gun regardless. This individual will in turn have an easier time of killing people, knowing that he or she is less likely to meet resistance from a gun wielding citizen. For example, if you where of the mind set to burgle a property, would you do so to a property where you know you will be met by the owner of said property wielding a gun? Or would you go to the house where they have not guns?

So far I am with the group who feel it is their right to have weapons in their property of protection and perhaps legalised sport such as hunting. Before I move onto the next part of this argument I want to make it clear I have served with the British Army for 13 years and as an infantry soldier, am classified as a weapons expert, as all infantry soldiers in the British Army are.

My concern for legalising weapons in any form is this, I fully concur that it is not the gun, that is the dangerous party in all of this, it is the person using the weapon. But if an individual who owns a rifle rack in his home with all the legal protocol in place suddenly has a break down, from whatever pressures and becomes severely mentally unstable, decides to lift a gun and either kill their family, or kill ordinary citizens in the street, what is the answer in this case. Or what happens if you have children in your house and they happen to get hold of a gun and an accident occurs, what happens in this situation. In both situations, I fully understand that other items can be used to devastating effect, but nothing in the domestic home can ever be as devastating or irreversible as a double barrel shotgun.

Personally I am split beyond belief on this matter. I am right behind any man or women who protects their home and family from the intruders of this world who feel they have a God given right to take whatever they want. To shoot someone in this manner, I have no sympathy for them whatsoever and would not lose a single nights sleep over doing it myself. However I keep coming back to the high risk and probability of mistakes being made with such a powerful weapon.

I would really love to hear from you if you have an opinion on this matter, perhaps you can sway me one way or the other, educate me one way or the other. I must stress that I am not saying one group or the other are wrong. I personally think it is a very serious debate and one that needs all involved to voice opinions and develop a solution.

Denver Airport The Truth

2012-07-16T11:32:00.001+01:00

Denver Airport in Colorado Springs has been the topic of debate among Truth Seekers and Conspiracy Theorist’s alike since the erection of the new Airport. Although Truth Seekers and Conspiracy Theorist’s don’t normally like to be referred to in the same sentence, on this matter they are fairly untied in opinions.

The airport I am referring to in this article is Denver Airport, which was built in 1995, despite the fact Denver already had a fully functioning airport called Stapleton International Airport. This is one of many interesting facts which has initially attracted groups such as the fore mentioned. Ordinarily when a new construction is built to replace another, it is either due to the fact the previous structure is faulty or that the new proposed structure needs better technology or in the case of an airport, more runway space. None of this was in fact the case with Denver Airport. Stapleton was fully operational with no underlaying issues and the replacement airport had less runway space nor did it sport an fantastic new technological advancements over the previous. However having said all that, the new Denver Airport did have an enormous amount of dead space surrounding the Airport which is owned by the Airport and has no plans in place for extra runways or parking etc. One final aspect to the actual construction of Denver Airport, from an arial perspective or satellite image, the entire complex forms the shape of a giant Nazi Swastika, which understandably does not sit too comfortable with some people.

Perhaps the single most talked about feature of the new Denver Airport, and this is only due to it’s blatant visibility as there are many other disturbing features; is the collection of protected murals.

In plan site of passengers departing and entering the airport, there are approximately four giant sized wall murals depicting horrifying images. Many people have expressed the fact that airports for the vast majority of people, are intimidating places at the best of times, to be bombarded with such explicit images of death before boarding an airplane is boarder line sadistic. Are these murals one mans warped artistic mind running wild, or are they a visual representation of plans laid out by the NWO (New World Order) who many people feel are the true architectures of Denver Airport. As you can see from the images, there are many interpretations one can see within the murals. The image of what looks to be a Russian Stormtrooper wielding an Arabian Sword in one hand as it slices through the Earth leaving devastation and destruction in it’s path and an AK-47 in the other hand. It is worth noting about this particular image, the sword appears to be slicing through two tower blocks, pretty reminiscent of the Twin Towers disaster in 9/11. Whats more frightening about this image is that it was painted well before the 9/11 tragedy. The artist responsible for the murals is Leo Tanguma, who to the best of my knowledge has never actually held an interview explaining the meaning of the murals, if in fact there are meanings.

As I have already briefly mentioned the New World Order and their involvement behind the Airport, let me just explain a little bit about this group. Many people believe and with good reason, that an elite group of individuals run the world and we are not alluding to simple straight forward individuals such as President’s, Prime Minister’s and Monarchy’s but much more influential destructive people than these. The individuals who really pick and chose governments throughout the globe, people who hold much more power and fare grater evil minds than the lunatics we openly call our leaders. It is thought that the New World Order group need to reduce the population on this planet by quite a bit, and by that I mean a reduction of billions, lives that are only seen as parasitic to the globalist mentality and therefore totally expendable.

On entering Denver Airport you are openly welcomed by a large Cornerstone, which has engraved on it the following message. “New World Airport Commission Contributors”. There is other information on the stone however this particular phrase is of special interest as there is no such organization as “New World Airport Commission Contributors”, and so could this be a metaphor for the New World Order, or perhaps a secret building block in their plan for global domination?

On further investigation of the airport the periodic table symbol for gold and silver (Au Ag) appears throughout different areas of the airport, however certain individuals think it represents something far more sinister. One of the main sponsors of Denver Airport is also supposed to have discovered a new deadly strain of the Hepatitis B Virus also known as Australia Antigen, which also has the (Au Ag) symbol. Obviously due to this people assume the symbol with the (Au Ag) represents the method on which the New World Order are to reduce the population to the preferred size.

The final piece of the puzzle as far as Denver Airport is concerned is the massive underground network that many local people have watched materialise over the last few years or more. Vast underground buildings and a network of tunnels connecting have been witnessed and when the Airport officials are questioned or even people working on the construction asked about it, they simply reply that they are not permitted to talk about it, or ignore the question altogether. Within this vast network of underground tunnels and buildings made of concrete, sprinkler type systems have been installed, again when people inquire about a sprinkler system installed in a non flammable environment, blank expressions are returned. All of this adds fuel to the theory that when the New World Order kickstart their mission to overthrow the globe, that Denver Airport’s underground networks and others like it around the wold will be used to contain citizens under Martial Law. Once they have been rounded up and herded into these complexes, the so called sprinkler systems will become apparent. Much like the terrible concentration camps of Nazi Germany, these sprinkler systems will pump through the deadly Hepatitis B virus (Au Ag Australia Antigen)

As with all Truth Seeking Theories or Conspiracy Theories of this nature, there is always another group who are more than willing to explain all the demonic type actions I have explained in this article. For example while (Au Ag is partially correct in representing Australia Antigen) after I conducted my own research on this matter, I discovered that it is only partially right and that the correct abbreviation for the strain is (Au Ag-Ab), so one must ask has this been left off to fit someone else’s theory. Also as far as the sprinkler system, regardless of the environment being concrete and pretty much non flammable, in all underground establishments oxygen is constantly pumped and pure oxygen like this can cause massive potential for fire and this could be what the sprinkler system is in place for.

As for the other things such as the shape of the complex and the terrifying murals, I don’t have an answer as to why they have been situated at an airport in the intimidating fashion they have been sited. It has also been reported on various occasions that high profile individuals such as the British Royal Family and many others in this realm of status, have purchased property close to the facility. It is of course no secret, that not far from Denver Airport, in the Cheyenne Mountains of Colorado Springs, NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) are stationed deep within and under the mountain's. It is quite obvious to the reasoning behind this, NORAD are responsible for maintaining control over Satellite's placed in space by America, NORAD monitor much further than the skies for the possibilities of foreign attack. They are also the last line of defence in terms of command centre should we ever face a Nuclear Holocaust

For me personally, I am always open minded to pretty much everything, I think to shut off and ignore what is going on around us, is to be ignorant and that is neither helpful to me as an individual or to other people around me. However I do try to take a logical approach on matters, I don’t always get things right, but so long as I have researched the matter for myself, then I know I am not simply being lead by the few who want it to be like that.

I would love to know your thoughts and opinions on this matter and if you have read about this before or simply about the idea of a New World Order in general.

Babies in the Work Place

2012-07-11T18:13:00.001+01:00

This morning on the main national news, topic of conversation was employees bringing their children with them to work, primarily this is due to the cost of child care. Later this evening on UK television, a documentary will look at this new concept on trial in America, here in the UK certain companies already permit this action. I just want to make it clear from the beginning that we are not talking about a childcare facility at the work place, but employees actually sit with the child whilst working. However one aspect of this topic, babies in the work place, that always angers me is the flippant attitude towards those actually caring for children.

Here in the UK, we have some excellent facilities setup to care for children from nought to five and obviously running those establishments are highly professional and dedicated women, in some cases men. One of the main problems parents complain about when the subject of childcare arises is the cost. I am constantly hearing that childcare in the UK is too high. But a question I would like to ask all those in this camp is, "How much is your child worth?"

Many of us when putting household items, or our precious vehicles in storage or in the care of another, will pay whatever it takes to ensure a high quality service is catered for, but when it comes to our children, we are always looking to scrimp.

Individuals who actually look after our children are in fact professionals, people who have spent three years plus, at college studying for a qualification to put themselves in that job. When they eventually do land a job in the childcare sector, it is without doubt one of the worst paid jobs in the country. Child care providers who have been in the business for twenty plus years are earning just over the minimum wage, there is very little scope for career advancement and there is certainly very little appreciation toward these incredibly dedicated individuals. I say dedicated, because these unique individuals have to be 100% dedicated considering the very poor wage structure.

These men and women in the childcare sector, put everything they have into ensuring the welfare of the children whilst in their care, day after day caring for sick children who, despite protocol in position for ill children staying at home, are still brought into the childcare environment as the parent does not want to miss a day at work. Children running temperatures, kids being kids and squabbling, plus all the paperwork that is required by law for the provider to complete on a daily bases.

I personally think that when people complain about the cost of childcare, perhaps they could spare a thought for the people looking after, what should be considered the most precious thing in their lives, their child. Take into consideration the very low pay and the personal dedication that is invested into your child to ensure they are given the very best care and attention at all times.

Don't get me wrong, there are bad eggs within the industry, as there is in every industry, Journalism, Law, Police, Teaching, Medical and many many more professions that have all at one time or another hit the spot light for the wrong reasons. However the disgusting conduct of the few should not be enough to package the entire industry into the same terrible reputation and devalue it.

When we as a society invest large quantities of time and money into luxury items and whatever it takes to insure those items, we also need to put exactly the same energy, if not more into ensuring we get the very best care for our children at whatever cost. As I am sure you have already deduced, I do in fact have a loved one in the profession and I see on a daily basis the time and dedication she invests into her profession and the children she looks after. Spare a thought, is all I ask.

Judge Gareth Hawkesworth's Terrible Judgement

2012-07-10T18:04:00.000+01:00

Last week here in the UK, one of the most despicable crimes of the year so far took place, however probably more disgusting than the crime, has been the judgment passed by residing Judge Gareth Hawkesworth. Obviously for the protection of the poor family involved the names involved in this case have been kept out of the press.

A 14 year old boy who had been babysitting for his neighbours 4 year old daughter, raped her. The brave mother of this poor little girl spoke on ITV's This Morning about the terrible crime and the events surrounding it such as the passing judgement on the 14 year old boy.

The mother told the nation that when she and her husband returned home from an evening out, the father checked in on their daughter and it was during this time period where the father discovered what had happened. The father took his wife outside the house and tried to explain what he had discovered, it goes without saying, at this period both mother and father where destroyed and not really knowing what to do. The family also have an older son who was also out and on hearing the news was incredibly angry looking to seek revenge, as anyone would.

One of the terrible events that took place on that horrifying evening, was the 14 year old boy blind folding the little girl, telling her they where playing a game. On doing so he placed his penis into her mouth. This particular action is quite important in my mind to the outcome of the case.

The family immediately called the 14 year olds mother, asking her to bring him back to the house as something terrible had happened for which they needed to talk to him. Whilst doing this the family also called the police. The father of the little girl quizzed the 14 year old on the events to which he was unable to explain. Intervening, the older brother of the little girl simply asked, if he couldn't explain what had happened, could he at least confirm if his sister was telling the truth, to which the 14 year old replied "Yes".

The crime was deemed too terrible to be tried in the Children's Court system and so was taken to the Crown Court, where Judge Gareth Hawkesworth resided. The judge ruled that the 14 year old boy was not to blame for his actions and that it was the world and society at fault. He spoke off societies over exposure to pornography also to blame and that the boys parents where not to blame. It also came out in the court that the 14 year old boy had actually been paid £10 to "Take care of the girl"

Of course the boys defence lawyer said he was very sorry for his actions but blamed it on porn he had accessed from the internet. The defending lawyer also went on to say that he understood this would be carried around with him for the rest of his life. (What about the Victim and what she has to carry around with her for the rest of her life?)

In terms of a sentence, he was simply told that he would not be allowed access to pornography for the next 5 years, he would also have to register his address to the police for the next 2 and a half years. What about the little girl who now has a life sentence hanging over her head and she had no choice in the matter? What about the little girls family, what justice are they given for their little girl?

It has also since been discovered that the very same Judge, jailed a 59 year old man for 5 and a half years despite the fact the 59 year old had preyed on six girls, ranging in age from five to 13 from 1974 until 2010. 34 years this evil monster preyed on these children and was jailed for 5 years.

I think it is safe to say serious serious serious questions must be asked of Judge Gareth Hawkesworth, it would be totally wrong and unethical to cast aspersions upon this so called keeper of justice, however he much be investigated by an independent body and struck off from ever working as a Judge again.

I myself have a 12 year old daughter, who is very much like her mother in so much as, she is highly intelligent. Never the less, she is two years younger than the 14 year old boy in question and I know that she would never commit such a crime. If for whatever unlikely event she did, I would not accept that she was unaware of her actions and that she was influenced by movies or Porn. I love all my children and would never turn my back on them no matter what. However I would never allow them to shrug off they actions onto society, we have brought them up to understand that when the break the rules, they much understand that there are consequences, be it time out, no mobile phone or a jail sentence.

Queen Shakes Hands With IRA Leader

2012-06-27T13:45:00.002+01:00

Today will mark quite a momentous occasion in Northern Irish politics, as Her Majesty The Queen will shake hands with former IRA chief Martian McGuinness. For many people who have suffered throughout the conflict this will be a difficult occasion to accept, for others this is yet another step forward to the longevity of peace in the Province.

The Queen of course herself having suffered directly at the hands of the IRA with the terrible death of her cousin Lord Mountbatten. Lord Mountbatten was visiting his regular holiday home not far from the Irish boarder in Sligo, the terrible attack took place on his boat not far from shore and of course it was not just Lord Mountbatten who was killed, other members of the crew where also killed including two 15 year old kids.

It is also true to say that on both side of the divide many people have suffered and lost loved ones. I my self am from N. Ireland and lived there throughout the height of the troubles, it was living in this environment that actually help in my decision to join the British Army. I too have lost many friends at the hands of religious hatred.

Although Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams have never actually been caught with blood on their hands in a literal sense, they have certainly been accused of issuing the orders for hundreds of men and women to be killed. Making this visit all the more controversial. It is important in any conflict for all sides involved to meet and try to resolve their differences and not always will this be an easy accomplishment nor will it have the backing from all involved. However I fear it is a compulsory part of peace no matter how much it may stick in ones throat.

Some people of course fear that this move today could symbol the start of an acceptance from Sinn Fein that in order to take a seat in the Houses of Parliament, they must recognise Her Majesty as the Queen of the UK, something Sinn Fein have always denied or rather not recognising. If this where to happen then Sinn Fein could actually take part in political decision making for the UK.

N. Ireland is a very different place today from that of the place I grew up, however there are still unfortunately religious tensions which are quite fragile. Occasions such as this are important in creating stronger foundations to the peace and making the entire situation a much easier one to the breath around and enjoy as opposed to always sitting on tender hooks just anticipating the next break down in communication. Everyone, no matter which side of the divide in N. Ireland, very much deserves peace and a home where their children can grow without hatred based simply on religion.

94 Year Old Lady Attacked

2012-05-08T18:34:00.000+01:00

On the 30th of April, between the hours of 21:00 and 09:00 the following morning, 94 year old Emma Winnall, was viciously attacked while she slept in her bed in her Birmingham home. At the hands of Mrs Winnall's attacker she suffered a broken arm, fractured skull, broken wrist and a partially severed finger.

Police have stated that there was no sign of a break in on the property and nothing was stolen from the property. It was Mrs Winnall's care worker who raised the alarm when she entered the property, expecting to begin a normal day of looking after Mrs Winnall.

Mrs Winnall's daughter, Mrs Joyce Belcoe and son Mr John Winnall have appealed for witnesses to come forward and help police with their investigations. Mrs. Emma Winnall, it is thought screamed for help but nobody heard her painful pleas for help.

the family have said "To see your mum viciously beaten and covered in blood is the most horrific nightmare." the main reason I set this particular blog up was so that I could speak my mind within reason.

I think the animal who committed this horrible, gutless crime should rot in a prison cell for the rest of their natural lives. However although the prison conditions should be clean that is where the humane aspect of things should stop. If this person who committed such a terrible crime can behave like an animal they they should be happy to live like one and society should also be quite happy. Before anyone defends this animal by declaring all sorts of Human rights Acts, ask yourself if this happened to your mother or grandmother, in a place where Mrs. Winnall should feel safest, would you be happy with them serving a prison term where they are educated to degree level, access to games consoles etc. All privileges that most law biding, hard working families cannot afford.

It seams that in the UK prison structure at least, when you commit a crime you are rewarded and I say this with total conviction. My father was a Prison Office for 39 years, in one of the worlds most notorious prisons, The Maze and so I know a little about the structure. Long term prisoners, who have most likely committed serious life taking crimes are educated to degree level and Masters, education most of us in civilian life cannot afford or if we can afford are burdened with heavy debt. Same goes for games consoles, three square meals a day, clean bedding, clean cloths etc. With the massive economic down turn families who have never committed a crime in their lives are losing homes, struggling to feed their children etc.

No wonder it is so expensive to retain a prisoner for any length of time, it cost so much because so many privileges are passed on to them while their victims are left with no support and picking up the pieces on their own. I'm not for the death penalty, mainly due to the fact mistakes have been made in the past and will continue to be made in the countries that carry the death penalty. However with the scientific technology at our disposal in terms of forensics, mistakes should be less and less as the technology develops.

My prayers and sympathy goes out to the family of Mrs Emma Winnall and I hope her a speedy recovery.

Nanny State

2012-03-23T15:02:00.001+00:00

Yesterday, March 22nd 2012, saw Chancellor George Osbourne, publicly announce the Budget, with so many people holding their great hoping to survive the coming months under a new budget.

But once again, the government are trying to make us live our lives in the way they want, strengthening the old Nanny State comments.

We all know as adults, the damage smoking does to our health and drinking excessive alcohol, we also know or have been told that driving our vehicles is destroying the planet via pollution. We now live in a society where education is a priority, information is easily accessible and long gone are the days where adverts we plastered all over our TV's telling us how cool it was to smoke or drink. So I think it is a pretty safe assumption to say that 98% of UK citizens are decently educated and awear of the implications surrounding these activities.

Taking all this into consideration, shouldn't it be our decisions as appropriately aged adults to drink alcohol and smoke. If we know the risk and are quite happy with the risks, then why should someone else step in and be allowed to prevent us from doing this. Of course the government are not stopping us per say, but they are making it incredibly difficult to do these things and drive cars which happens to be a fundamental necessity for the majority of the working nation.

Obviously there is the subject of the NHS under strain from people who smoke and drink vast quantities of Alcohol, however there are two sides to this argument as well. If you are a TAX paying citizen of the UK, and you fall ill as a result of smoking or excess drinking then you should be entitled to care, regardless of what has made you ill, as a UK citizen paying TAX you can't dictate the terms of how your TAX is spent. On the other hand, if you are someone who has been on state benefits all your life and not paid into the system and you are taken ill from any of the above related illnesses, then the NHS should have the right to refuse care. I think this should be made known and so people who don't work for whatever reason can make an adult decision as to whether or not smoking or excess drinking is a risk they should be taking.

As for the fuel prices, the government here in the UK and other countries are pricing us off the roads, but still not improving public transport to a sufficient standard i.e time keeping, over crowding, safety, unclean transportation etc. It is becoming the case here in the UK that unless you work from home or within walking distance from your home, quite a high percentage of your wage is going on just getting you to and from work. I have 3 young children and the environment is a very important issue in our house, but there are things that people simply need and vehicles is one of them.

The Government have added 37p to every packet of cigarettes, a pint of beer will rise by as much as 10p per pint, since 2008 beer has risen by 40%. They are also talking of capping a set sum on alcohol per unit, this is in an attempt to cut out binge drinking. From the budget buy one get one free offers will also not be allowed or similar deals, the government are trying to eradicate the stay at home drinker, it won't be long before it is illegal to smoke in your own home.

Petrol is currently at an average of 139.67p (£1.39) a litre and Diesel 146.39p (£1.46), including VAT, fuel is to rise as much as 3.62 (3 pence) a litre. So for a 50- litre vehicle you will be paying an extra £1.81 at the pumps, all in all quite a hike. This will have a knock on effect right across the board, food will rise in price due to transportation fuel cost's, Road Side Services such as the AA and RAC will have no option but to increase membership and so many other areas will be forced to do the same or close up shop.

I'd love to know what you think of the budget and how it will effect you, or if you are from a different country what is the current economic situation like where live and is the government pushing a way of life upon you via out pricing you?

Don't forget if you are interested in technology you can visit my site Techmedia Fusion or if you are interested in sport you can also visit my site Fused Sport. Everyone is welcome and I look forward to seeing you there and getting to know you all better, always community building.

Should Over Weight People Receive State Benefits?

2012-03-08T22:23:00.000+00:00

For those of you that may not fully understand the health care system here in the UK, let me just briefly explain it to you. First of all I would like to say that, here in the UK we probably have one of the best health care systems in the world, if not the best. Sure there are some problems and people get annoyed with certain aspects of it, however when compared with other countries and not just third world countries, ours isn't too shabby.

In very simple terms, when you work in the UK, you pay Taxes and these Taxes are split into different categories for different Government Departments. One of those departments is health care, the NHS National Health Service, it is paying into this pot that allows us to have the NHS. Under this system, everyone is entitled to health care and it is free for the most part, a homeless person will be entitled to the same care in a hospital as a working man or women.

That brings me to the bad part about the system, as with many countries, we have spongers who chose not to work and live of the government benefits. Obviously there are people who can't work due to illness or disabilities etc, I am not referring to this group, just the ones who can work but don't. They to are entitled to the service of the NHS, which some people find very unfair.

One of the groups of people I want to talk about are excessively overweight individuals and in particular people overweight who claim they are unable to work as a direct result of their weight and so claim state benefits, paid for by the working individual. Of course, if an individual is overweight due to a recognised medical condition and unable to work, then that is a separate issue, but I am referring to people who have put themselves in this situation, no medical reasons.

In the UK alone, the Prime Minister, David Cameron, has declared that obesity costs the NHS 4 billion Pounds per year, and that is expected to rise to 6.3 billion pounds by 2015. It is this figure that UK citizens and politicians a like, think can be better invested into our economy. Should the people of the UK support a group of people who sit at home eating incredibly unhealthy food and vast quantities of it watching day time television. Or should they be made to attend gyms and nutritionist, in order to be educated in health living, this would of course be prevention as opposed to cure which is always better. Not just better for the economy but for the individual themselves and saving them from a life of misery and an early grave.

The NHS has already cracked down on people who are heavy smokers, if they develop a health condition directly related to their smoking, they are expected to either quit smoking or seriously reduce their smoking; before they are allowed surgery or treatment. Why should obese people, who like smokers, have brought this on themselves be any different.

I am unable to work due to sustaining a spinal injury whilst serving in the British Army on operational tour, but I refuse to take state benefits. I feel ashamed that I am in a situation where I am unable to work, even though I joined the Army aged 16, 3 months after I left school and have paid my taxes until my medical retirement. It simply doesn't sit right with me claiming benefits as no other member of my family does. So for people in the above mentioned situation, to quite happily hold their hand out for state money in order to pay for the very substance that is creating the problem in the first place, is perhaps immoral and unethical.

Having said all this, I don't think their money should just stop, I think they should be given help to lose the weight and re-educate themselves in healthy eating and living. This way everyone wins. But what do you guys think? I think this is a really interesting topic and would love to know your thoughts on the matter. Of course if you would rather not leave a comment you can email me if you prefer.

Just A Bit of Rubbish

2012-02-18T21:48:00.000+00:00

Well guys, I am sure I don't need to say this to those of you who already know me from YouTube and Techmedia Fusion, but I love to talk and I can only exercise that in the form of writing on the old World Wide Web.

With Techmedia Fusion, I take it quite seriously, in fact maybe a bit too serious, and so there have been loads of times when researching a subject that I have come across something that I would really love to write about. However to do that on Techmedia Fusion, would be unfair to all of the guys that read my posts over there, they come to the site for Technology and so who am I to mix things up. So that is why I have come up with Fused News.

With Fused News I will have the opportunity to write any old crap I want and get some tasty old debates going hopefully from time to time. Obviously I love for you guys to join me here at Fused News, but only you can make that decision.

As with Techmedia Fusion, this site is really your site, without you guys there would be absolutely no point at all, so if you have any thoughts or opinions on the site I would love to here from you. If there is a particular subject you would like to talk about or like me to write about then just drop me a line and I will always aim to please.

Steve Ballmer Sells over 1 Billion Dollars Worth Of Microsoft Shares

My beloved Liverpool Football Club

2010-10-06T19:33:00.000+01:00

I have been a fan of Liverpool Football Club for as long as I can remember. Being a child of the 70's, I grew up in good times, especially for Liverpool fans. As a club they where totally untouchable and not just in the domestic league but all over the world. During the late 70's and 80's, Liverpool accumulated so many trophies, league positions etc that even today some of those achievements have not been beaten.

Even those of you, who absolutely despise Liverpool, can't deny the rich history surrounding the club and the accolades they have received over the years.

However dark days are upon the club and Liverpool fans the world over are in a terrible way, worrying about our clubs future and wondering where it all went wrong. Well this is my blog and my own personal opinion as to where it went wrong and why I think things are not going to get better anytime soon.

For me it all started to go down hill when Kenny Dalglish left the club as manager and Grahame Souness came down from Glasgow Rangers and took over from the then stand in Ronnie Moran, the legend. Now don't get me wrong Grahame Souness was an out standing player for Liverpool, but out standing players, as we have seen time and time again in football; don't always make good managers. I can remember when Souness took over the club he got rid of so many proven and experienced players in an attempt to bring in young blood. The idea was good, however it was done far to quickly and Liverpool was left with a very young and in-experienced team with no main figure on the field to take control during the tough times. All this was happening as the birth of the Premiership was taking place and the old First Division was dropping down.

After Souness completely lost the respect of the dressing room and the fans, in stepped Roy Evens. Roy Evens was a popular choice with some and not so with others. He had the club in his blood, there was never any doubt that he loved the club and wanted the best. After his short playing career under the God Bill Shankly, he was asked to stay at the club and take on various rolls. There was no doubt that Roy had a lot of work to do in terms of rebuilding the club after Souness destroyed it, many said the club had gone too far to recover, but Roy done his very best. Then came the big money in the game and players such as the legendary Robbie Fowler where going off the rails and Roy Evens was not strong enough to bring them in hand. He done his very best but that was not enough and so came in Gerard Houllier.

Houllier and Even ran the club together for half a season and there was a lot of talk about the Frenchman bringing back the glory days to Anfield. However this was not to be. Liverpool certainly faired well under Houllier, winning the treble, but each time a team done well, the following season Houllier would rip the team apart, selling key players and bringing in new ones, never allowing the team to gel. Phil Thompson was another Liverpool legend brought in to work with Houllier and once again, another example of player not always making a fantastic manager. Thompson also rubbed a lot of players up the wrong way with a ruthless managing method.

Houlliers departure was a welcomed one for many, for me personally I was undecided. Then in came Rafa Benitez who spent a lot of money, and showed a glimmer of the glory days to us Liverpool fans when he took the team to Istanbul and won the European Cup, once again Kings Of Europe. Till the day I die I will never forget that night coming from 3-0 to win the gam after extra time and then penalties. However it was not to be, the following season it all went to pot and we almost lost out in a European spot finishing in 5th place. We were only allowed to play as we held the title and had to defend it.

Bad managers was one thing but then came the Anti-Christ for Liverpool in the form of Tom Hicks and George Gillett, two American Million airs, full of promise, new stadium and the best players in the world, full of shit more like it. Rafa left before the beginning of this season 2010 and in came Roy Hodgson, most certainly not the man for the job in my opinion. Too much like Houllier and it looked like the board members of the club was not serious about taking the club forward.

Currently as I sit a write this we are second from bottom, relegation and to top things off three hundred million in debt. If the debt is not paid off soon the club will be signed Bankrupt and an automatic loss of nine points. Given the teams lowest ever ebb and current terrible form, Liverpool will most certainly find themselves in a relegation battle, never seen before in my life time. Such an awesome club gone to waste at the hands of greed and too much focus on money and not enough passion for the club coming from the men at the top. Come Jan 2011, if things have not drastically changed we will lose all the top players we have left and it will spell doom for Liverpool Football Club.

It is literally heart breaking to see my beloved Liverpool fall into this hell, I wonder will the glory days ever return to this awesome club, once the most feared club to play in the world. If I won the lottery I would buy the club, as I am sure many other fans would do. We need help and we need it fast. This is a distress call to all millionaires who want to invest in something worth while, by this amazing club and bring it back to its original restoration state, you will be hailed a God for eternity.

Dead Mouse Found in Loaf

2010-09-28T15:19:00.000+01:00

OK so some things are more disgusting than others, however I think opening a loaf of bread to make a few rounds of toast for the wife and kids breakfast, only to discover a dead mouse perched on the corner, is taking the biscuit and I bet the father in question wished he had of opened a packet of biscuits instead.

The father, who trying to do the best by his children in purchasing the highly healthy best of both Hovis bread, noticed a dark patch on the corner of the loaf whilst making sandwiches for his children. As he took a closer look, to his utter horror, the 41 year old from Oxfordshire England discovered that the darker patch was in fact another set of eyes staring back at him. Granted they where very much dead eyes, but eyes none the less and that of a poor helpless mouse, trapped in the bread making process, taking the whole concept of mouse trapping to an entirely new level.

All has turned out well for the father as the company have agreed a £16,000 compensation fee.

Makes sure you double check what you are making sandwiches with the next time you are feeling peckish.

Losing the Faith

2010-09-22T14:11:00.000+01:00

It has been a while since I last updated my blog, for which I am sorry to anyone that has so far taken an interest in it. I took a long break from the online world during the summer holidays and now I am back never to take a break again. I fell into a very lazy rut and it was not very nice to say the least.

Any way the reason for this post is two things. First of all, I have just posted my first video on my new YouTube channel named harrysblog . The channel will be directly linked to this blog, really just so that I can embed a few videos from time to time. Also both my new YouTube channel and this blog allow me to show a different side to me, aside from my tech life here on the internet at TechPlanet30 & iharrison30

The second reason I have posted is in line with the topic I discussed on the video, which is what I want to talk about now. When I was a young lad my parents sent me to church with them and then into Sunday School. As time went on I joined the Boys Brigade, which was really a bit like the Scouts. To be honest I hated going to Church but loved the BB. I was brought up in a very Christian environment and by the time I joined the Army at 16, I had came away from the Church side of things but I still had a strong faith in God.

During my Army career, which I loved every single day, I sustained a terrible injury which meant I had to leave the job and life I loved most in the world at that time. For this I blamed God, rightly or wrongly, this in turn lead to totally dropping my faith. Other factors came into play such as, I could never understand why, if God existed, could he allow babies to be abused in the horrible way they are on this earth. I could always understand why he allowed man to destroy man as we had free will, however the way I seen it was that these babies had no freewill, God was their only protection and yet he allowed this to happen.

Any way, during my break from the internet over the summer holidays, I started to read a few things. Books on 2012, Planet X, the end of the world and Revelations. I don't mind admitting that some of the things I read scared the life out of me, however not for me but for my wife and children. I couldn't stop thinking that if all this was in front of us, what was I going to do to protect my children and not have them become so scared. The one thing that I kept falling back to for comfort was the fact that both my wife and children have very strong faith in God and so I couldn't help but thinking they would be ok.

This started me thinking, that if I truly thought in this manner, then somewhere deep inside me I must still believe in God even if I am not fully aware of it. I can't stop thinking though that this is a cop out and that I am just looking for comfort in the face of fear, which would be wrong.

I know this may sound pretty deep for a Wednesday afternoon lol, however what do you guys think about all of this? Have any of you had a faith, and not just Christian, any faith and then had it knocked? Or have you always been strong in your faith and despite taking a few knocks to your faith, you have always stuck with it? Or perhaps you have always been of the opinion that we are all just a bunch of cells and when we die, we fall into the earth and decompose. I have no prejudices what so ever, I don't care what colour your skin is, your sexual preference or your religious connotations are; so long as you are a good person I take all at face value, which is why I say not just Christian faith.

Thank you all so much for stopping by and reading or watching my video, I hope you have enjoyed it so far and will continue to do so, I certainly will try my best to deliver the best content I can to entertain you all. Don't forget to drop me a line if there is anything in particular you would like me to talk about.

Photography Digital SLR

2010-07-29T22:44:00.000+01:00

I have always enjoyed taking photos, just as most of us do, however when my first child was born, the old trigger finger started snapping frantically. Almost every movement of my daughter was captured and not very well at that.

A few holidays later, a couple more children and a new batch of grey hairs on the side of my ageing head and I would appear to have become captured by the photography bug.

As a family, while our children are still so young we visit one of the most beautiful landscapes on earth, for our family holiday's; the Lake District. The first digital camera I took to the Lake District on holiday was the Samsung L600, a very simple point and shoot 6.0 mega pixel device. At the time it took pleasing photos, but of course the camera could only do what I was setting it up to do. I promised myself that I would invest in a better camera for the following year as I was really enjoying the shots I was getting.

The next camera was a Fuji FinePix 5700, which had all the characteristics of a Digital SLR but was not one. This camera took some really beautiful photos and this time I found myself getting up at 04:00 in the morning to capture sun rises over the lakes. However the first time I done this I found myself sat on the lake side with thirty odd budding photographers, only they had these massive cameras on tripods and there was I trying to hide what was by now the equivalent of my manhood. It was at this point that I decided to once again rethink the equipment I owned.

So I have now bought myself a standard Digital SLR the Nikon D5000 a standard 18 - 55mm lens, along with a telephoto zoom lens 55 - 200mm, tripod, a few filters, lens hood, camera bag and I am good to go. WRONG!!! it wouldn't matter if I owned the finest camera equipment in the world, I am the idiot who needs to be taught how to use the camera, otherwise I might as well be still using my Samsung L600 point and shoot.

So this is where you guys come in, any advice or tips would be so welcomed. I am off on my holidays two weeks from today to the Lake District once again and this time I would really love to take some stunningly beautiful landscape and wildlife Macro images. So what would you advice me to do. I am reading up as much as I can on photography but I still think that old fashioned experience will always lead the way.

Gazza Talks to Armed Gunman Raoul Moat

2010-07-10T00:44:00.001+01:00

Gazza Talks to Armed Gunman Raoul Moat

Paul Gazza, ex England and Newcastle United super star, talks to local North East radio station Century FM regarding his connection with Raoul Moat, the armed gunman who has killed a man, shot a police officer in the face and shot two others including his ex girlfriend. Raoul has been on the run for the past week and tonight the Northumbria Police Service have him surrounded in a picture postcard village. Currently Raoul is sat on a grass bank with a doubled barrel shotgun to underneath his chin.

For those of you who are not familiar with Gazza, he used to be the most amazing footballer (Soccer) player in England if not Europe. Unfortunately he turned to drinking quite heavily, getting into trouble with the law, surrounded himself with leaches who only wanted his money and then completely fell apart; at which point he found himself alone. None of the people who where quite happy to take his money, hung around to help him through Alcoholism.

The audio you will hear when you click the link will completely astound you, however remember that this is a man going in the same direction as the late, fantastic George Best. It is also worth mentioning that the police division that are controlling the terrible situation here in the North East have obviously turned Gazza away from the location. Only in the UK would this type of media circus be allowed to get so far.

Driving

2010-07-06T18:58:00.000+01:00

So, how many times have you been driving, minding your own business, maybe listening to a bit of music, obviously checking your mirrors and keeping your whits about you enjoying the views. Then all of a sudden, from absolutely nowhere, some idiot barely missed the front of your car by an inch or so and they calmly signal thank you in their rearview mirror as if nothing at all has happened.

Mean while you have entered into the first stages of road rage. The first stage of course being the cold sweat, hands gripped onto the steering wheel, knuckles turning white, the realisation that you have just escaped death, or worse than this, your beloved car smashed to bits and you survive to see the damage. Looking up, you notice the calm silhouetted hand wave from the idiot who has caused this build up of blood pressure, signalling to you "Thank you" as if you meant to slam on your breaks and cause a near death experience to you and your passengers. This display of ignorance of course only helps you move to the next phase of road rage.

So after the cold sweat and the white knuckle ride, comes the sobering thought of what almost happened and that is when the second phase of road rage erupts, the anger. "F*&ing idot", the inside of your car turns blue with language you never even thought your mouth was capable of uttering, your rant goes on and on, accompanied with hand gestures so vigorous, other drivers assume you are in the middle of an epileptic fit, just to confirm their concerns your face starts contorting to shapes unknown to man, spitting frantically like an animal suffering with rabies.

The instigator of this metamorphoses of your character has now noticed not al is well with the driver behind. At first they consider stopping the car to help the poor soul in the middle of an epileptic, however on closer inspection of their rearview mirror, it becomes apparent they have upset someone and perhaps stopping is not the best move.

A small and meaningless chase begins, but as the idiot driver in front has no intentions of stopping, the fit you have just entered into has time to recover and when the red mist lifts, you vision becomes clear and disaster averted.

Don't you just bloody hate drivers who don't indicate.

This Time It's Personal

2010-06-16T01:32:00.005+01:00

Okay guys, I know what you are thinking, or at least I think I do; "bloody hell what is he up to now?" or "how interesting can one idiot be?" If this is what you are thinking, or something along those lines I totally don't blame you, however let me explain.

Most of you will know me through my tech based Youtube channel and my tech based web site http://www.techplanet30.com, and for persevering with me on these forums, I am eternally grateful. I love tech as I am sure you have guessed but I have other interests, interests that don't really have a place a midst a tech based media. When I say interests, I am talking about day to day general subjects such as politics, religion, education, world news, current affaires, historical issues, life after death and all that type of mundane but also at the same time; interesting stuff.

So rather than try to incorporate my views and opinions on the above mentioned stuff, I have decided to start up a very simple blog where I can write down what I am thinking and give you the chance to comment and debate on my blog. It is nothing extravagant, but I hope for those of you maybe not into tech as much as others, this will allow me, to show you a different side to me.

I have not decided yet if I should make another Youtube channel which will allow me to add some video-blogs obviously related to this content. I hope you guys don't mind and at the end of the day, it is only a trial project I suppose, one that can be just a quickly be taken down as it was put up.

Having said all of that and possible sounding quite pessimistic, I am really hoping you all enjoy what I have planned for my blog and that you can all participate as much as you can or would like to.

I am really excited to see what you all have to say about this blog and my rather controversial opinions.

All the best guys, take care and I look forward to seeing hopefully some of you here soon.

Harry
