The Four Horsemen

This really is a fascinating discussion,weather you are an atheist or a religious protagonist. I highly recommend that you take the time to watch this video.

"On the 30th of September 2007, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens sat down for an unmoderated 2-hour discussion, convened by The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science and filmed by Josh Timonen. In this conversation the group trades stories of the public’s reaction to their recent books, their unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face the world today and propose new strategies for going forward."

Zimbabwe Crisis!

I could no longer delay this Blog and I feel I need to express my concerns, over the dreadfull situation this country is currently undergoing. I really feel for these poor people as there situation is so very desperate. Even when the people went to vote (at great personal risk) there democratic right has not being upheld by a corrupt and tyrant government.
Robert Mugabe has got to be the most openly corrupt President in the world. He rules his country with an iron fist, his people are suffering in poverty whilst he continues to live a life of luxury.





ZIMBABWE'S INFLATION CRISIS

"Zimbabwe's rate of inflation surged to 3,731.9%, driven by higher energy and food costs, and amplified by a drop in its currency, official figures show."

Four out of five Zimbabweans live below the bread line, people's life expectancy is lower than anywhere else in the world (33 years) and yet we are expected to believe the government of South Africa that there is no crisis?

Please take the time to watch this emotional video, "Zimbabwe Call to Action"

Give My Head Peace - Live!

A couple of weeks ago my wife and I went to see, "give my head peace" live at the Ballymena town hall. I really can't remember the last time I laughed as much. Jackie and I had such a great time and the evening was a terrific success for the Ballymena Arts festival with another sold out venue.

Please watch the video below from the gone but not forgotten T.V. series.

MMA for LEO'S

"I have modified my MMA For The Street™ program to fit the unique needs of Law Enforcement Officers.Thugs now train in MMA! Stay ahead of the curve by learning techniques & tactics they don’t know!" - Burton Richardson




It is my humble opinion that this is the most exciting innovation for Law enforcement that I have ever seen. This particular method delivers like no other, in that it deals with the reality of a modern street fight. Please check out the video and see why if you are involved in "any" type of security work that this programme
is for you.
I had the pleasure of meeting Burton in Hawaii and I felt like my eyes had been opened to the martial arts for the first time.
