Deadliest Catch 7 - 2011 - Hillstrands and Hansens Return

There is news here but I don't think any of it is real spoilers... so safe to read.

Some of you may have heard there was a legal dispute between Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand with The Discovery Channel, and they were not returning to the show.

Well here's the scoop. In October, 2010 it was reported that The Discovery Channel sued the Hillstrands for $3 million for failing to finish work on a spin off show called "Hillstranded".  The Hillstrands counter sued saying that the lawsuit would force them to sell their boat, so they quit the show. To show support of the Hillstrands, Sig Hansen also quit the show. Go Sig!

Smart Phone Users Putting Kids At Risk With Geotagging

If you have a smart phone and enable the GPS feature you could be putting your children, yourself or others at risk because of geotagging.

I'll try and put this in layman's terms for those of you who don't speak geek.

Geotagging = GPS location stored in your applications and photos. The GPS function on your phone can be a great feature, but it can also cause problems.

When you use these GPS enabled devices and take pictures, the pictures have stored in the picture file the GPS location you were at when the picture was taken. This is a great feature if your going through old photos and can't remember where you were when you took the picture.

Radiation - Radioactive Iodine ??

Think about this.

Too much radiation causes cancer, yet radiation is used to treat cancer.

Iodine is used to treat radiation exposure, yet people in Japan can't drink their water because of radioactive iodine in the water.

Is it me or is this a tad confusing?

The more I hear about this Fukushima Plant the more I think it's worse than people are letting on and there is less and less news on it everyday. But the news has reported the "important stuff" - Apple's Ipad 2 will likely be delayed. OH NO!

Charlie Sheen Found Dead - News Prediction

Charlie Sheen born Carlos Irwin Estevez (born September 3, 1965) was found dead this morning in a local hotel. A fantastic actor gone before his time.

The 45 year old actor, no longer able to find work, finally succumbed to his disease, because he refused to get help for his drug addiction and alcohol abuse. His belief that tiger blood would get him through anything proved to be no antidote at all.

Mr. Sheen was known for many films and TV Shows including: Platoon, Wall Street, Major League, Hot Shots!, Spin City and most recently Two and a Half men.

An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon to confirm cause of death.

Mr. Sheen leaves behind five children, his father, mother, a brother and a sister weeping over his exploded body.

AMC Merging With OLTL - Spoiler Alert - Today's General Hospital

Someone called Raven Beauty, I have no idea who this is or whether or not this information is credible, put out a post/article about a meeting that took place at ABC. Supposedly they tossed around the idea of cancelling AMC all together or moving AMC back to New York and then merging the two shows AMC and OLTL. The post also includes a list of characters that would be safe. Full article here As I said before I don't know who Raven Beauty is and there is no mention of who was at this meeting nor is there any information on the site as to who this Raven Beauty is maybe a producer, writer nothing I could see to give this article any credibility.

Snake Bites Model's Breast and Dies

Israeli model Orit Fox was bit in her surgically enhanced breast while modeling with a boa constrictor.

"As she maneuvered the snake into position for the "kiss" Ms. Fox loosened her grip on its neck, and after being licked the reptile reacted angrily. It aimed straight for Ms. Fox's prized asset and sunk its teeth into her left breast."  Maybe she forgot to brush her teeth. 

Ms. Fox had to get a tetanus shot. The snake died a short time later from silicone poisoning.

Is it me? If the snake died of silicone poisoning wouldn't that mean it would have punctured the sack of silicone in the breast. Wouldn't you think the model should be seeing about getting a new breast implant? Wouldn't you think it would be leaking. I think more than a tetanus shot is required.

Mike Starr Former Bassist of Alice In Chains Dies At 44

Wow, this sucks! I just heard.

Mike Starr was found dead in a Salt Lake City home Monday dead. He was 44 years old.

I had never heard of Mike before watching Celebrity Rehab.  Mike had a very rough time in rehab and I was worried he wouldn't be able to stay clean. I had hopes that the reminder of his friend Layne Staley's death, (Also a member of Alice In Chains) would help to keep him clean. I was so happy when Mike decided to continue on to Sober House after Celebrity Rehab. I really hoped he would beat the drug addiction, he was working so hard on getting all his problems under control.

Conviction

I gave this one a three star.

Inspired by a true story about a high school drop out (Hillary Swank) who's brother is convicted of murder. She believes he is innocent, puts herself through law school and with the help of Barry Scheck and the Innocence Project gets him out of jail.
