METACRITIC Breaking Bad: Season 5

The Bottom Line: Fresh from his season four "victory" over Gus Fring, Walter White is now in charge. And he's loving it. Jesse is back, Mike is sort of back, wife Skyler's early fears may be masking what she really feels inside and series creator Vince Gilligan appears to have done it again. It's not a matter of wondering if Breaking Bad will be great, but where in the pantheon it will ultimately reside. THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“I was 17 from a fishin’ family, a family that was starving. I was always a bit wild. I should have listened to my father. I should have listened to my mother. But I didn’t.”
Mary Bryant, convict, was baptized on 1 May 1765 at Fowey, Cornwall, England, the daughter of a mariner named Broad, whose family was 'eminent for sheep stealing'. On 20 May 1786 at the Exeter Assizes she, referred to as Mary Braund, was charged with assault and robbery, convicted and sentenced to death. Her sentence was commuted to transportation for seven years, and she was taken from Exeter jail to the hulk Dunkirk off Plymouth, where she remained until transhipped to the transport Charlotte in the First Fleet for Botany Bay.
This original bad girl, Mary, turned her life around like no other. In 2005 a miniseries from Oz, The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant, brought to life an amazing story as well the wit and endurance of one of histories most fascinating heroines and media sensations.
After a voyage of sixty-six days, Mary, her children and the eight men reached Kupang, in West Timor on the island of Timor, a journey of 5,000 kilometres (appx 3000 miles) . This extraordinary voyage became part of seafaring history, and has often been compared with William Bligh's similar epic journey in an open boat of only two years earlier, after the mutiny on the Bounty. Bligh's voyage had also ended in Timor. The trip involved navigating the then uncharted Great Barrier Reef and the Torres Straits.

Another plus is having the stunning young English actress Romola Garai in the title role, and a support cast that includes Sam Neill and Garry McDonald.

June 20, 2011 The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking to elderly women to help them locate one of the country’s most wanted criminals. The agency announced yesterday that new pleas for information in its search for 81-year-old James “Whitey” Bulger will focus on his longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig. Apprehended on June 22, 2011 - After 16 years on the run from law enforcement, Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger, was arrested in Santa Monica with his longtime companion, Catherine Greig, 60, who fled Massachusetts with the gangster in late 1994.
Catherine Greig called ‘cold-hearted criminal’ by Timothy Connors, whose father was murdered 37 years ago today. “You are as much a criminal as Whitey, and you ought to be handled as such,’’ Connors said to Greig at her sentencing hearing in US District Court. “You are a cold-hearted criminal.”

"Cocaine Cowboys"The film explores the rise of cocaine and resulting crime epidemic that swept the American city of Miami, Florida in the 1970s and 1980s. The producers of Cocaine Cowboys use interviews with law enforcement, journalists, lawyers, former drug smugglers and gang members to provide a first hand perspective of the Miami drug war.
Also documented in the film is
the gangland violence associated with the trade. The interviewees in the film argue that Griselda Blanco, an infamous crime family matriarch, played a major role in the history of the drug trade in Miami and other cities across America. It was the lawless and corrupt atmosphere, primarily from Blanco's operations, that led to the gangsters' being dubbed the "Cocaine Cowboys".

Big Santa Barbara drug bust! Does crime pay? You look at the house and tell me! Wow a big meth bust in Santa Barbara recently and the Santa Barbara news press missed reporting on one of the story’s. Of the 2 meth bust that occurred I am interested in The second Meth bust that took place at 2078 Las Canoas 93105 home of William Paxson. The information below was taken from Sheriff’s web page in regards to the drug bust and is in the middle of posting. “William Paxson – 11550(a) H&S – Under the influence of a controlled substance, 11364 H&S – Possession of drug paraphernalia, 11366 H&S – Maintaining a dwelling for drug use/sales. Bail was set at $2,500.” Really 2500 bail, wow Santa Barbara District Attorneys are really going after the white over 60, living in 2 Million dollar home “Gangsters’ that’s O.G. baby! During my harassment and 5 different illegal arrests I had bail any where from 20,000 to 100,000 for words I never said. Worse than that there is a current rumor that law enforcement caught one of there own in these arrest, can that be true? Take a look at the house yourself! *Magic in Santa Barbara June 7, 2010
Magic in Santa Barbara makes sense, the paper of record did not report the Mission Canyon drug bust. They just don't report on any of their friends or associates, that is how they roll. $2,500 bail? Was the fix already in?
After a three month long investigation which included complaints and information from the general public, Narcotics Detectives arrested six subjects suspected of dealing and using Methamphetamine during the search warrant in the 2000 block of Las Canoas Rd. in Santa Barbara. * Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department
DON'T DO METH VIDEO
It is curious, after a three month long investigation, or was it six months? Either way it was a heavy burden on the taxpayers to fund that investigation. The public deserves good results and to keep the criminals off the streets. Why is all that money spent to bust an operation at a remodeled million dollar property? Who do you think is doing any time? We heard more rumors about grand larceny and mysterious high end collections gone missing. I don't know if one of law enforcement's own was caught but from the sound of it there was a den of thieves and they were ratting on one another. They also blame the police. Was law enforcement on the in or out of one of the planned heists? One miscreant is still at his old game and none of that helps the addiction. The next time they are caught it may not go so well for them, but for now, not much has changed. Including the legal system that is so soft for rich, old and white dudes. The area’s methamphetamine problems have not improved and the County is throwing away money.
How is it the general public would know what goes on behind closed doors in Mission Canyon? They don't, it was all inside the circle of wheelers and dealers. The rumor about an inside job makes more sense. An extensive investigation of a millionaire's bust is one thing. for another, why was bail so low? No reporting in the Santa Barbara News-Press and no follow up in any local media. Although some of the culprits were repeat offenders, rumors of pedophilia and suspects in far more serious crimes. Why do they get off so easy and why isn't the public warned?
SANTA BARBARA — Symptomatic of the area’s methamphetamine problem, sheriff’s officials this week conducted raids on two individual drug rings operating in close proximity to one another. The first investigation led narcotics officers into the upscale residential foothill area high above the famed Santa Barbara Mission on Las Canoas Road. An ongoing series of neighborhood complaints from local community members initially alerted sheriff’s detectives to a specific house, upon which search warrants were served on May 25.

Things that make you go hmmmmm... FARC hookers are off the hook for the May 23, 2012 Wednesday hearing in the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, called “Secret Service on the Line: Restoring Trust and Confidence.” As many as 21 Secret Service agents and military personnel were involved with many escorts/prostitutes in Cartagena, Columbia, for a night of rogue activities. Instead of doing their work for President Barack Obama’s attendance at the Sixth Summit of the Americas on April 14-15, 2012.
