It has been four months since the end of the World Cup, and six teams that got the opportunity to compete in the tournament will be kicking off the start of Live Six Nations Rugby this coming weekend. Ireland, France, England, Italy, Scotland and Wales were among the participating squads from September 9 thru October 23 in New Zealand, and each team will be playing in the 2012 Six Nations.

France enters this year's RBS 6 Nations event as one of the favorites, as the squad had a impressive showing at the Rugby World Cup. The team finished with a overall record of 4-2 with victories over Japan, Canada, Wales and England, but came up short in the finals, in a 8-7 loss to the New Zealand All Blacks.

Wales from a talent standpoint appears to be the biggest challenge to France, as in 2011 players such as Jonathan Davies, George North, Sam Warbuton and Toby Faletau were key contributors in the teams 4th place finish at the World Cup. Injuries though could be a deciding factor in the team's success as Matthew Rees, Gethin Jenkins, Rhys Priestland and Luke Charteris will be unable to play at the start of the tournament.

With a early schedule that was favorable, the team from England got off to a hot start at the World Cup, and started off 4-0 with wins over Argentina, Scotland, Georgia and Romania. England had a chance to advance to the Semi-Finals, but came up short in a 19-12 loss to France. One of the keys to success in International play are squads that are able to field teams with experience, which is one of the primary weaknesses for England this coming season.

Live Six Nations Rugby gets underway this weekend with three games on the schedule with France vs Italy live stream online, Scotland vs England online live stream and Ireland vs Wales live online stream.

The Guitar, a 1961 Gibson SG Les Paul Custom, had previously belonged to Les Paul's ex-wife Mary Ford. Shortly after an episode airing the $90k purchase from Mary Fords nephew on Pawn Stars, the Guitar appeared on eBay.

A surprising personal item of Les Paul was also included in the auction. According to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop (Pawn Stars) eBay listing, a Letter included with the Guitar states; "Les is told Not to sign a contract with Gibson." This advice could have dramatically altered the fortunes of both Paul and Gibson, if it had been followed.

While such practices may induce horror and revulsion in the minds of most reasonable people, it is not an entirely new phenomenon. Two hundred years in Scotland, the infamous Burke and Hare plied their trade in Edinburgh's Old Town, murdering at least sixteen people and selling their bodies to the medical school of Dr. Robert Knox where they were dissected in order to teach medical students. At that time, the law forbade the dissection of bodies other than that of executed criminals and there were simply not enough bodies available to supply the ever-growing needs of the teaching schools who taught anatomy to aspiring doctors and surgeons.

Burke and Hare devised a ready solution to this problem in Edinburgh by simply murdering their victims and selling them to the anatomy school in a no-questions-asked deal. No-one was exempt from their murderous spree, including the elderly, prostitutes, the disabled and even children. When the villains were finally caught, the citizens of Edinburgh were horrified to discover the nefarious deeds which had been happening in their own city.

A Scottish media company, Orickle Limited, has produced a documentary recalling the dreadful crimes of Burke and Hare and the circumstances surrounding the events of their day. Leona Tyrie, producer of 'The Body Merchants: The Shocking Truth about Anatomy Murder' explains, "Burke and Hare have down in history and in popular culture as grave robbers but, in fact, there is no evidence that they ever robbed a single grave, they preferred the easy route of murdering their victims in order to sell their bodies for dissection and easy profit. Most people would believe that those days are confined to the pages of history and that in this modern age those kinds of practices would be unthinkable. However, research on the subject would point to the fact that, unbelievably, vulnerable people in the world today are still being cut open and their organs are being harvested and sold for gain.'

Said Leona, 'It's appalling to imagine that this is still going on in the world today and that most people are completely unaware of its existence. It ought to act as a real wake-up call to the world that the horrible days of Burke and Hare have never truly gone away'.

Chris Paul was acquired in a trade with the New Orleans Hornets, and so far has not disappointed. If the playoffs were to start today the Clippers would be the fourth seed in the West, with home court advantage in the first round. Los Angeles is 10-6, and in 1st place in the Pacific division. With Paul, Billups and Mo Williams as the primary ball handlers, the team is able to maximize each possession because all three are All Start caliber point guards that make quality decisions.

One of the biggest surprises thus far has been the team out of Philadelphia. It's been a number of years since the 76ers were a legitimate playoff contender, with a chance to actually make some noise in the postseason. Doug Collins has done a tremendous job putting together a young team, and balance has been the primary reason for the teams success, as the team has seven guys averaging double figures in scoring on the season.

Chicago finished with the best record in the regular season at the end of 2011, and the team has picked up right where they left off, as the Bulls lead the Eastern Conference with a record of 16-4. With the acquisition of Richard Hamilton, teams around the the NBA are having a much more difficult time double teaming Derrick Rose. Rip is one of the top come off screen shooters in the league, and is able to spread the foor with his outside shot.

Do the Lakers miss Phil Jackson and the Triangle Offense? Head coach Mike Brown has been unable to find that consistency on the offensive side of the ball.  One of the weaknesses so far has been the teams inability to counter attack once a opponent shuts down the initial play. During the offseason Kobe Bryant was able to work on his legs and thus far it is showing as the 16 veteran leads to league in scoring.

The inspiration behind IDAddicts.com is the viewers themselves, whose incredible engagement has spawned incriminating tweets such as:

- "Watching the anti sleep channel aka @DiscoveryID ... Its #DigitalCrack"

- "Working a 12-hour day seriously cuts into my 'watching investigation discovery' time. #MoreUnusualSuspectsPlease"

- "If you're buying duct tape and a tarp, I automatically assume you're planning a murder. Thanks @DiscoveryID"

- "I'm watching way too much Discovery ID Network. I suspect my 92 yr old neighbor may be a serial killer. Why is he always 'gardening'?"

There are a total of four teams remaining in the playoff tournament, as the Ravens, Patriots, 49ers and Giants enter this weekend just one game away from advancing to the big game. Super Bowl 46 is just two weeks away, and the AFC and NFC Championship will determine the two participating teams that will be representing each conference.

At the start of the playoffs many were predicting teams such as the Steelers, Saints and Packers would still be playing football at this time of the year. Green Bay put together one of the most impressive offensive seasons in NFL history, while New Orleans lit up the scoreboard and featured a MVP caliber QB as well. All three teams were upset in the postseason and will be at home watching the championship games.

The NFC conference features two of the more surprising teams in the playoffs, as both the 49ers and Giants were not expected to make it this far at the start of the regular season. San Francisco put together it's best season since 1997 when Steve Young and Terrell Owens were connecting for touchdowns. Last weekend Alex Smith completed a 14 yard TD pass to Vernon Davis with 9 seconds left, as the 49ers were able to overcome a 462 yard, two touchdown performance by Drew Brees and pull out the 36-32 victory.

Defense was the key for the Giants last weekend as they held the Packers to just 10 points in the first half, and jumped out to a ten point lead at halftime. One of the keys to the teams success was the ability to put pressure on QB Aaron Rodgers without having to blitz a lot. This enabled the Giants secondary to double up on the Packer wideouts, and was the difference in the 37-20 win for New York.

As expected the Ravens and Patriots will be meeting in the AFC Championship this Sunday. Baltimore won the AFC North division with a record of 12-4, and came away victorious over the Houston Texans in last weekend's divisional playoff contest.

Tom Brady finished the regular season making a case as to why he should be among candidates to win the MVP award. The QB finished with 5,235 yards, 39 touchdowns on the season, and put on a spectacular performance against the Denver Broncos in their divisional matchup. Brady completed 26 of 34 passes for 363 yards and six TD's as the Patriots crushed the Broncos 45-10.

The AFC and NFC Championship games will kickoff on sunday with the Ravens vs Patriots live online stream from Gillette Stadium, followed by the Giants vs 49ers live online stream from Candlestick Park.

Internet TV coverage continues with the Stream-Direct-Sports software which enables fans to be able to Watch NFL Playoffs Online Live and view Streaming Football.Watch NFC Championship Online as the 49ers and Giants look to advance to the big game, and be one of the teams competing for the Super Bowl trophy.

Natalie commented 'Sir Paul is such a nice guy and totally down to earth, when I jammed with him he made me feel completely at ease.'  Later this year Natalie supports Joan Armatrading at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester UK; a prestigious gig for such a young songwriter.  'It's an absolute honour to support Joan; like Sir Paul McCartney she is a music legend,' said Natalie.

Natalie has recently released a double A side with Grammy Award winning producer Steve Levine's London label 'Hubris Records', consisting of tracks 'Fortune' and 'On Fire'.  Levine signed this young prodigy after her winning MIBI award show performance (Natalie being nominated by the leading lights of the UK music scene including Harvey Goldsmith CBE and Coldplay's Chris Martin).  It's a rare treat from the pop world to produce an artist whose music possesses such honesty and uniqueness.

Natalie has written and performed her own songs from a young age - songs embodied with resonant lyrical metaphor such as '....Oh! what use is silver?/what good comes of gold?/built myself a temple/trapped behind the walls'   As well as her music being described as 'dark, edgy and exciting to listen to' and 'simply unmistakable', she can count pop legend Boy George and BBC favourite Steven Fry as her supporters on Twitter.

She will support Joan Armatrading at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester UK, November 4th 2012. Also lined up in her UK tour schedule is a support slot for Sandi Thom in Liverpool on February 12th 2012.
