Two Catawba County men were convicted on habitual felon charges this week and sentenced to prison, prosecutors say.
Jason Richard Dickerson, 33, of Newton was sentenced to between 80 and 108 months in prison. He was also convicted on 14 felony drug charges.
Russell Lamont Epps, 52, of Hickory was sentenced to between 30 and 48 months in prison. He was also convicted of felony breaking and entering.
Dickerson had been charged in connection with alleged offenses from November 2011 to February 2012 in Catawba County, prosecutors said. He was arrested after an undercover investigation involving detectives from both the Catawba County and Lincoln County sheriff's offices.
Dickerson was convicted of three counts each of possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana; possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine; and selling cocaine. He was also charged with two counts of selling marijuana, and one count each of possession of cocaine; conspiracy to sell marijuana; and maintaining a place for controlled substances.
Epps was convicted of breaking and entering and larceny. He was charged in connection with a May 2013 case at a Hickory business and was identified by video surveillance equipment, prosecutors said.

Amazon launches Amazon Fire TV
At a media event today, Amazon introduced Amazon Fire TV ($99), a streaming box designed to compete with Apple TV. Citing search, laggy performance, and closed ecosystems as issues with similar products on the market, Amazon's Peter Larsen says the company sought to address those issues.
The box has a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi for fast downloads. Larsen claims it's three times as fast as Apple TV and other boxes. Many apps are supported, including Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and of course, Amazon Prime. The included remote control supports voice search with a built-in microphone. fireTV also supports games with the physical remote, an upcoming app, or the Fire game controller ($40). It'll begin shipping today.

Latest from The Spokesman-Review
The Climate Carol…
Good morning, Netizens…
Strictly in the Spirit of the impending Christmas Season, once again I present cartoonist David Horsey's Climate Carol, an irreverent play on that old favorite, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".
Now I have read the portions of several recent message threads about global warming, and while I am aware that there are many opinions of global warming, both pro and con, at the same time I have to admit Horsey's cartoon is pointed and quite funny.
Your opinions, however, may differ. By all means feel free to contribute a Christmas Carol of your own.
Mudder Nature in Denmark…
Good morning, Netizens…
Cartoonist David Horsey once again takes on the Global Climate debate by depicting Mother Nature departing the climate conference in Copenhagen.
My initial reaction to this cartoon is what is Mother Nature doing riding in what appears to be a limousine? Then the next question is, if she wouldn't be riding in a limousine, just how would she be getting around? A horse-drawn carriage? A Model-T Ford? How about a 1949 Dodge Pickup Truck with a boom box stereo?
As for Mother Nature's recommendation we might want to find a new planet, when do we leave?
Hoo boy! Now there is the question of the day. It becomes a question of not if but when.
Gregoire: Protests, what protests?
Gov. Chris Gregoire said today she's checked out some energy-efficient cars while at the climate sumitt in Denmark, talked up Washington state with "green" manufacurers, had meetings with other governors and provincial premiers and spent time assuring delegates from around the world that things are happening in the United States to address climate change.
She got a chance to watch reports of the maiden flight of the Boeing 787 on Danish television, and while she didn't understand what the newscaster was saying, the video looked good.
But she hasn't seen any of the protests, which is part of the coverage many Americans are getting seeing from the UN Climate Summit in Copenagen.
"It's sad that's the representations we're left with. I have not seen any of the disruptions," Gregoire said in a telephone press conference.
Although she's been told Danish security is respectful of free speech rights, she described their reaction to protests as anything but: They'll round up 700 protesters, let 699 go the next day and just cite one.
"Nothing gets started. They take immediate action," she said.
The ethics of global warming…
Good morning, Netizens…
Now before I get down to the serious business writing about the Russian journalists who were visiting Spokane this week, a visit which Jeanie and yours truly played small but emotional roles, I must open this can of worms called Global Warming, at least viewed by cartoonist David Horsey.
It should be noted that, from my position and thinking, the threat of Global Warming is true. However, this is just an opinion based upon what limited facts I have from which to draw my conclusion. In the cartoon, even David Horsey suggests that scientists are hyping the truth about Global Warming, which also might be truthful.
However, Horsey also draws the same conclusion that others have reached, that it is altogether too often that both scientists and government leaders "massage" the numbers to match their opinions. Thus David Horsey's ethical question does not contain another element which I have often found to be far too truthful, and thus is inelegantly unethical.
There are people throughout the Blogosphere who have developed a considerable following when speaking of Global Warming, who lack either the scientific acumen nor have the political authority to declare Global Warming either exists or does not. Yet because they are purportedly unbiased, that they are not swayed by either scientific researchers nor political persuasion, they are therefore more ethical and thus more likely to possess the facts. Thus is not always the case, in my opinion.
The truth or untruth about Global Warming depends upon which source(s) you find most ethical. That perhaps is the more difficult question than whether or not Global Warming exists or its impact upon our lives.
Onboard the USS Titanic .. sort of…
Good morning, Netizens…
As David Horsey suggests in this morning's cartoon, the world's leaders are hemming and hawing over climate change like a group of farmers sitting around the Grange after a bad harvest is complete and they are wondering if they have enough profit to buy seed for the next year's planting. They haven't solved the problem, but instead constantly poke at it, constantly rehash it over and over again, and maybe if they are lucky, they might even agree on but not solve the issues. You cannot beat Mother Nature when it comes to handing out a good butt-kicking.
Perhaps worse than that, you cannot get the purported experts upon whose opinions we depend to tell us how bad the climate is or is about to become in another generation or two. One set of scientists are broadcasting doom and gloom, such as how the icebergs in the Arctic and Antarctic are melting faster than ever before, while other scientists say, "Piffle. That is a bunch of poppycock."
Getting scientists to agree with one another is about like getting meteorologists to accurately forecast the weather over a long period of time.
So what David Horsey is saying is at least partially true. If each of the world leaders are listening to different scientists, each coming to the table with their very diverse opinions, the world's leaders probably will sit at the Great Table and instead of taking active steps to combat global warming, they make vague, lofty-sounding statements that play well with the "folks back home" while accomplishing very little. Isn't this what is happening right now?
Sometimes I wonder when or if the pendulum will swing the other way; instead of global warming will might have global cooling.
Global warming as a theory…
Good morning, Netizens…
Cartoonist David Horsey gives us some clinically-flawless examples of medieval thinking this morning which would be highly functional, were it not for the Republican Caucus hiding behind their covert doorways advancing their theories about science.
I can see it now. In the Arctic Regions, icebergs hold covert but unsentient meetings and vote unanimously to "melt down for the heck of it". You cannot deny they are melting down, because there is proof what is taking place. Giant icebergs calving is not that scientific in nature: just pull up your lawn chair, have a seat and watch. If you can't figure out why they are melting down, you call the scientific theory of the time a hoax and be done with it.
Asking members of the Republican Caucus to approach scientific thinking, or even critical thinking for that matter, with a clear path of thought seems an anachronism to some, but then long ago in history we had people who swore on their honor that the world was flat and that the sun revolved the planet earth. Time changes things; things change time. It will be interesting to see what the theories we currently hold about Global Warming will be like in a few decades, perhaps.
Perhaps by then we might even have some theories about how Republicans feel about Global Warming then.
What is your priority?
Good evening, Netizens…
Yesterday, the Eiffel Tower is shown
just after the 20,000 bulbs illuminating the tower went out for five
minutes. The City of Lights went dim when thousands of Parisians
joined in an hour "lights-out" campaign aimed at showing
citizens concern over climate change. (AP Photo/ Thibault Camus)
(March 28, 2009)
This was all a campaign to highlight the threat of climate change. Did you turn your lights out? To put it a bit more succinctly, do you care?
Which would I rather see, half the world turn the lights on their big commercial building lights off over concern for world climate change or eliminating nuclear weapons from the world's arsenals? At the rate they are continuing to grow in numbers, won't nuclear weapons eventually get used unless someone stops the madness?
The question which I feel challenges us all, which is more likely to eliminate mankind as we know it to be, global warming or nuclear holocaust? We must stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Effects of "Global Warming"
Maybe there is such a thing as Global Warming?… Nah.
Global Warming: Science or Scare?
Global warming is a hot debate topic in our country today, but is it actually in existence? Cliff Harris and Dr. Douglass attack the concept from an opposing stand point.
In "The 'cold truth' from Dr. Douglass about global warming," Cliff Harris dissects the research performed by Dr. William Campbell Douglass II, M.D., to disprove the idea of global warming. A chart with global temperatures dating back to 2500 B.C. and running through 2040 A.D. pointed out major temperature swings, which Harris then used to compare against averages from recent times. His findings weren't anything extraordinary, either.
In Harris' opinion, the concept of global warming has been blown out of proportion due to politics, paid researchers, and environmental activists. He says, "Until this global warming hubbub, climatology wasn't considered a life-or-death issue the way medicine is. …Since global warming has become a divisive political minefield, there's big-time grant and research money being tossed about to help politicians (regardless of their stance on the issue) make their points. …The same climatologists and researchers who advocate global warming are often being paid to study it."
His opinion, research, and evidence may or may not be enough to sway someone on the topic, but check this out. He concludes his article (published February 20th in a local newspaper) with weather predictions for the rest of February and early March, based off the data he gathered from earlier temperature swings. Cliff Harris' predictions for February were dead on, as are his March predictions thus far. Harris wrote, "Early March should feature some snowy and cold periods with lower than usual snow levels down to the valley floor locations, even along the warmer lakes that are currently free of ice. …Stay tuned."
Even if the entire idea of global warming is not real, the fear of its possibility is enough to "scare" the United States into acting for the benefit of the environment, which can protect the U.S. from other environmental problems. By acting in environmentaly concious ways, the United States safeguards itself from negative environmental effects AND global warming, if global warming exists. Could this whole issue be nothing more than a scare? If so, is it because no one knows whether global warming exists, or is it for other reasons?
Cap and trade bill clears a key committee, but is much stripped down…for now, it's mainly cap, not much trade…
In tomorrow's paper:
A controversial "cap and trade" plan that would put Washington at the forefront of efforts to combat global warming has been dramatically watered down under pressure from businesses and rural Republicans.
Nonetheless, proponents say they remain optimistic. The bill, requested by Gov. Chris Gregoire, cleared a key House committee Tuesday.
"It's still viable. It establishes a real cap" on greenhouse gases, said state Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish. "That's a critical first step."
Among the sharpest critics of the bill: Rep. Joel Kretz, R-Wauconda. Saying that the plan will destroy rural industries, he's blasted it as "cap and extort" and says that trading pollution credits would spawn cronyism. He's publicly suggested that disgraced former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich would be a good fit to run it.
"He's well-suited to run a system like that," Kretz said in an interview Wednesday. "And he's looking for work."
Survey: Global Warming Ranks Last
Item: Economy, Jobs Trump All Other Policy Priorities In 2009: Environment, Immigration, Health Care Slip Down the List/Pew Research Center
More Info: As Barack Obama takes office, the public's focus is overwhelmingly on domestic policy concerns – particularly the economy. Strengthening the nation's economy and improving the job situation stand at the top of the public's list of domestic priorities for 2009. Meanwhile, the priority placed on issues such as the environment, crime, illegal immigration and even reducing health care costs has fallen off from a year ago.
Question: No surprise that economy and jobs are the top two concerns that Americans have as the Obama administration begins. Are you surprised that global warming is dead last?

There is no maintenance history on this other than the Depot level overhaul label that indicates a complete overhaul in 1953.
As you can see the movement is clean and undamaged and as mentioned it runs fine.
All functions are tested and work as designed. All chronograph hands reset to dead zero, and start and stop when commanded to.
The dial has a little age spotting on it but it is very striking and nice when assembled and the little spotting is hardly noticeable. There is a little bit of the red paint missing from the disc, also hardly seen.
These clocks were used in the most iconic aircraft of WW2 and Korea like the Voight F4U Corsair. These clocks are robust and hardy made to take it and continue to function.
A clean, lube, and adjustment is recommended if this is going to be a daily runner, or at least an oiling.

MTV News
Jacko Slammed By Peta
Reports say The King of Pop plans to ride into the O2 Arena on an elephant…
Michael Jackson has been criticised by animal rights group PETA after reports he plans to use exotic animals in his upcoming live show.
Its been claimed that the 50 date O2 Arena residency will be jungle themed and feature Jacko riding an elephant, panthers on gold chains and parrots flying behind the singer. It certainly sounds weird.
But without any confirmation of the safari style plans PETA- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals- has hit out at the King of Pop.
They told NME: "These exotic animals belong in Africa, not the O2 Arena among screaming fans, bright lights and stage explosions.
"These wild animals are deprived of everything that is natural and important to them when they are forced to perform under stressful conditions. Michael needs to learn to leave exotic animals alone."
Michael of course has form with caged animals. His Neverland ranch featured a zoo with giraffes and elephants. He also famously owned a chimpanzee called Bubbles.

Upstate New York
Best meal I ever ate:
From a favorite French chef - who moved away years ago: coquilles St. Jacques, potatoes au gratin, and the most incredible mousse au chocolate EVER! The restaurant dining area was the small first floor dining room in an old farmhouse. It was magic. Bless you, chef.
My current drink of choice:
Wine always, champagne close second
I really wish I could:
Create my dream kitchen. Someday. (HELLO NY Lottery!!!)
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
Crepes - see below. Works, and no one I know makes them, so I'm good.
My favorite comfort food:
Warm crispy chicken and mushroom crepes, made with a very good gruyere. Simple, elegant, and perfect Sunday morning treat with champagne, a fire going, and two happy corgis begging for a bite (sorry, girls.)
My top 5 favorite restaurants:
I'm still looking. Most have been replaced with chains, sadly.
My most tattered cookbooks:
All, but the most tattered is my Fannie Farmer Cook Book - which I've had since a wee bride so many years ago.

The Evolution Deceit
MERS virus and what it brings to one's mind
Follow @harun_yahya
Enlarge video
Other Languages
Turkish / Türkçe
We have frequently heard of viral epidemics in recent years. Many people are familiar with the names of these viruses, such as HIV, Ebola, Nile Virus, H1N1 (swine flu), SARS and now Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, known as MERS.
MERS has a relatively high mortality level; thirty-five percent of reported cases have ended in death. According to the World Health Organization, 254 cases have to date been identified in various countries. Fifty new cases were reported last week and the Saudi death toll has crossed 100. In addition to Saudi Arabia, MERS cases have been seen in Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the UAE, Germany, Great Britain, France, Greece, Italy, Tunisia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
It is not yet known how the MERS virus infects humans. People carrying the virus can transmit the disease without being aware of it, or the disease may quickly end in pneumonia, organ failure and death. Research has thus far provided no answers, meaning there are no drugs or vaccinations against this virus at the moment.
The above information is what you can read in any newspaper or website. However, what I wish to emphasize in this article is something different. A tiny entity invisible to the naked eye is able to baffle 21st-century science and technology. A tiny virus may cause the death of thousands of people, as has been seen before in history. But what is it, apart from the will of God, that makes a virus impossible to beat?
The answer to this is an important sign leading to faith. God has created diseases in order to show the transitory nature of this world and to show people how weak they are, and has created and equipped viruses, which cause some of these diseases, with an amazing system.
The war between our cells and viruses is vitally important for human life. Viruses can be very active in the body and they literally invade cells; they then use the machinery and metabolism of the host cells for their replication and thus turn the cell into a factory producing more copies of themselves.
In order to accomplish its task, the virus needs enormous information, awareness and also power. It is obvious that a virus so small that it can only be seen under an electron microscope is itself unaware of this immaculate structure. So how did that structure come about? Even though the virus has no brain or eyes, how does it know when and how to act?
There is no doubt that it is Almighty God Who creates the virus, and the host cell and its machinery. With these complex entities He creates, God shows us His matchless artistry and infinite might. As we look at the details of these entities with their flawless structures they are evident signs for believers of the presence of God.
God reveals in one verse that:
"In the alternation of night and day and what God has created in the heavens and the earth there are signs for people who have piety."
(Surah Yunus, 6)
The virus is one of the most interesting structures in nature. It does not possess a cellular structure and consists solely of a genetic mechanism. It consists of a protein coat and genetic material (DNA or RNA) inside that coat. By itself it has no functions or organelles exhibiting signs of life. However, when it enters an organism it comes to life and becomes active. From the moment it interacts with a living cell it starts to exhibit life properties; it becomes an aggressive and also highly intelligent creature.
Before entering a cell, the virus works out which cell is suitable for it. If the test result is positive, it injects its own genetic material into the cell and begins replicating using the host cell's DNA and RNA synthesizing machinery, and RNA processing machinery.
It is indeed very hard for the cell to become aware of the situation: It is like finding a short sentence from an encyclopedia consisting of 20 volumes. By means of this "intelligent" method, the virus mixes with the host cell's own programming mechanisms and literally becomes a part of the cell.
Under normal circumstances, a cell never reads the code for any protein, not even of proteins of other cells, apart from those it needs whose codes are marked in DNA with special locks. However, the cell reads the virus DNA and continues producing the virus. How the virus does this is still a mystery for scientists.
This spells disaster for the cell. A dying cell is used right to the end of its energy for production according to the program wrongly encoded in its nucleus. Then it dies and is broken down. As it breaks down, the accumulated viruses enter other cells and find new targets for themselves.
This viral invasion would proceed fast enough to kill a normal person in a few days were it not for the immune system; that defense mechanism identifies the virus soon after it enters the body and immediately initiates a counter-offensive. This enables us to survive instead of being killed by the simplest virus.
God shows us our weakness through a tiny entity
In order to behave so successfully, the virus has to fit the cell in the same way a key fits a lock. We are looking at a most evident truth here; God has created viruses deliberately to cause disease. By means of troubles of this kind, human beings are better able to realize their helplessness and the infinite might of God.
People who reflect on all this will realize their own weakness before God and will turn to our Lord, seeking forgiveness. God reveals in a verse how He forgives those who turn to Him:
Your Lord knows best what is in your selves. If you are righteous, He is Ever-Forgiving to the remorseful. (Surat Al-'Isra, 25)

A Warner Robins factory says it's laying 40 people off.
The Anchor Glass Container Corp. plant on Booth Road says they're idling one of its glass-making machines for all of 2012.
That's about 9 percent of the 443 people who work there, according to the Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce.
A news release says they're making that change "to better align its manufacturing capacity with its customer needs."
The Tampa-based company referred further questions to General Council Jim Warner, who could not be reached for comment.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Thursday DNA evidence has solved a 37-year-old disappearance in Middle Georgia.
The agency is adding 13-year-old Ima Jean Sanders to the list of victims murdered in 1974 by serial killer Paul John Knowles.
According to a GBI news release, Sanders disappeared from Warner Robins in August 1974.
Knowles, a 29-year-old Florida parolee, went on a cross-country killing spree in the spring, summer and fall of that year.
During that time, Knowles often stopped by Macon to visit a girlfriend and he killed some of his 18 known victims in Middle Georgia.
Knowles himself was killed during an escape attempt in December 1974.
A few weeks earlier, Knowles was captured near Atlanta after he wrecked his car trying to avoid a roadblock.
Officials brought him to the Bibb County jail where federal, state and local investigators tried to pry information from him about the people he killed.
The job market is looking brighter in Central Georgia this holiday season, with unemployment numbers dropping in metro Macon and Houston County.
A Georgia Department of Labor news release says the unemployment rate dropped six-tenths of a percentage point in November to 9.4 percent. In October, it sat at ten percent. One year ago, the jobless rate was 10.3 percent.
The Macon figure includes Bibb, Crawford, Jones, Monroe, and Twiggs counties.
The release shows a similar pattern in Houston County, where the jobless rate declined five-tenths of a percentage point in November. It's now at 7.2 percent, compared to a year ago, when it was 7.8 percent.

Monday night, Warner Robins City Council unanimously agreed to implement a pay scale recommended by the University of Georgia's Carl Vinson Institute of Government. That's according to council members John Williams and Bob Wilbanks.
Williams said employees will also get a 1.5 percent cost-of-living increase in January. That item was already in this year's budget.
Council members did not set a date or timeline to implement the pay scale.
They also did not have a firm estimate on the cost of starting the pay scale. Wilbanks said representatives from the Carl Vinson Institute will need to do more work, to figure out how to roll employee benefits into the cost of the plan. He said estimates range between $900,000 and $1.5 million.
Williams said there was disagreement among the mayor and council members on implementing the plan prior to tonight's meeting, but they were "able to compromise and work it out."

Wedding: 8/16/2014
My husband and I just got married at Gazebo on August 16. The owner, Mary Ellen, worked with our caterer and our rental company to help us have our dream wedding. All of our guests commented on the beauty of the location! We were able to have a reception of 200 people, yet it was still very intimate and elegant. Gazebo on the Green is a longstanding tradition in Iowa City, and we were more than happy that our story could be a part of that tradition. We could not have done it without the help of Mary Ellen.

We saw and heard nothing. Not the blood in the metal pan slotted beneath the death seat, nor the single boom of five rifles going off in choreographed unison. They had allowed reporters into the prison on the night of John Albert Taylor's execution but had no intention of letting us see any of the gore and mess.
That was 14 years ago and even today, as Utah prepares for only its third execution by firing squad since the death penalty was restored in the US in 1976, details of that night are still leaking out thanks to the reminiscences of three of the five members of the voluntary squad.
Although we were inside the Utah State Prison complex in Draper, we were at a safe distance from the death chamber and had no access to anyone directly involved, not the witnesses, members of the squad or the prison staff.
There was suspense. Even in the chamber itself, two telephones sit connected to the offices of the governor and the state attorney general, either of whom had the power to halt the proceedings. They never did.
As the moment of execution approached, we were fed bulletins as matter-of-fact as the minutes of a garden fête. 7.44pm: Taylor asked if he could have his antacid liquid. 7.46pm: Inmate Taylor received his antacid. 8.01pm: Deputy Warden offers Inmate Taylor more soda, pizza, coffee. Taylor declines.
Closer to midnight, they became more poignant. 10pm: Inmate Taylor seems to be in good spirits. Visiting with his attorneys. 10.10pm: constant conversation, sprinkled with frequent laughter. Only occasionally were there hints of anguish. 10.48pm: Taylor is crying, sitting very still with his head bowed.
When it was over, the warden, Hank Galetka, wanted us to know that after travelling through Taylor's torso, the bullets had left a single dent in the back of the seat smaller than a coin. "It went like clockwork," he said, almost boasting. "It went as rehearsed."
As for those who fired the shots, two told the Salt Lake Tribune last week that they slept easy when they got home. Shooting Taylor was like "returning a defective product to the manufacturer", one said. Another betrayed a sliver of uncertainty. "I had issues about shooting a guy strapped in a seat, helpless," he said.
"But the state had ordered us to do this and we had a job to do. I don't regret doing it, but I would never do it again."

Google Street ViewThat's one weird office tour.While some companies are using Google Business Photos' new feature (which allows people to pay to show office interiors on Google Street View) to boast open seating areas, cool bike racks, and office bars, some smart alecky ad agencies are taking it to the extreme.
If you choose to take an office tour of Manchester-based creative agency Ideas By Music, for example, you'll find a bloody shower, red drag marks in the hall, and then a man being pushed, head-first, down the toilet.
Although the shop's photos are clearly staged, it is creepily reminiscent of the speculated Dutch murder that was captured by Google Maps this month — showing a bloody body being dragged across a dock and into the water.
Ideas By Music isn't the only shop that's playing with the feature. Adviso, which is based in Montreal, took a lighter approach to Google Business Photos by introducing the world to a guy in a hot dog costume we're assuming regularly walks a wiener dog around the office.
Agencies are always looking for new ways to creatively interact with new online social platforms, so we all should have seen this one coming.
Well, that's one way to get your name out there.

As a lifelong resident of Ludowici I've heard nothing but trash about my hometown my whole life. I used to defend it to everyone and get really mad but now I understand. I have specific knowledge about some of the corruption (paper to back it up) and I'm writing letters along with several others to the bosses of the bosses in Atlanta to investigate the corruption in this town. The Water Department has been a joke all my life. There's no need to name names. The people here are as stupid as they are in Africa, letting themselves be run by thieves, liars and wanna-be pimps. I own land and pay a helluva lotta taxes here and I'm tired of it going into the pockets of dumbasses and living among dumbasses who know it goes on and do absolutely nothing about it.
Dec 29, 2012
I'm sorry that you feel that way. I have lived here all my life too and I will agree with you that there are some questionable things that go on here. Do you really think that this doesn't happen everywhere? Unfortunatley, there is corruption all over this country. I will say though that the benefits of living in a small community by far outweigh the negative aspects. Have you ever lost a loved one? lost your home to fire? I have and during those times, I can assure you, there is no place that I would have rather been. The compassion that most of the people have in this town for not only "our own" but for people in the surrounding counties is tremendous. I personally don't have to deal with the water dept because I don't live in the city, so I can't give my opinion on that but like I said we are a corrupt country ran by a corrupt government. I just prefer to look at the positive as opposed to the negative :)

Thanks for the friend request, love! I can't believe we weren't friends already, weird :)
Thanks for the F.R. love all of your pics!
okay, pardoning the fact that I look like an idiot at almost 3 Am (yes I'm going to bed in a minute) this is the start of what I was talking about for 'editing' your shirt' this stage you just cut out the shoulders and hem. you can do it v-style to get a bit of cleavage but I like to put it slightly off shoulder. As you can see the hem isn't quite straight yet but I've just started so I thought i would update you. If you want to give it a try my next step is going to be making it more fitted, (you can do that by tying up the back as well which works quite nicely without any sewing) but I haven't decided if I want to shorten the sleeves or not as well. I probably will :) and then you can add a pussybow or tie to the neck as well so long as it doesn't get in the way (for that you just need a cheap scarf)
currently my sewing machine is on the other side of the ocean though so just hemming the neckline takes a few hours :)
I hope you have a wonderful birthday, lovely lady xx
Yay! So excited to be friends :)
Thank you for your lovely comments on my pics the other day :) I've replied but since it was just leaving a comment and not technically a reply function to yours I wasn't sure if it would alert you <3
Oh you are just too sweet, I'm so pleased you feel I give off some kind of sunnyness :D You'll make my blush! Will definitely add more PUG pics in future, probably as outfit wrap ups each month. Must remember to add my PUG posts from my blog to this site too in case anyone's interested. Much love!

BBM Voice and BBM Channels Now Available for Android and iPhone Customers
New features also include simple file and photo sharing, location sharing, over 100 new emoticons and Dropbox integration for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry Smartphones
Feb 13, 2014
Waterloo, ON – A new version of BBM™ will be available later today for Android™, iPhone and BlackBerry® (NASDAQ: BBRY; TSX: BB) customers, giving them lots of exciting new features. Android and iPhone customers will now be able to make free voice calls to BBM contacts over a Wi-Fi® or data connection with BBM Voice*, as well as access BBM Channels. In addition, BBM customers on Android, iPhone and BlackBerry** smartphones will have more to chat about with fast one-click sharing of photos, documents, voice notes and more. BBM customers will also be able to share their live location for a specified amount of time with other BBM contacts by using location sharing, powered by Glympse, and will have 100 new emoticons available to help them say what's on their mind.
"BBM continues to deliver new functionality as a premier messaging platform that provides a simple and effective way to stay connected. Today's announcement gives Android and iPhone customers the rich experience of BBM Voice and BBM Channels – two great ways to connect with friends, family and colleagues, to build out communities around shared interests, and to follow your favorite people and brands," said John Sims, President, Global Enterprise Solutions at BlackBerry. "BBM continues to quickly evolve as a social mobile platform for consumers as well as for business customers through innovative features that give you great new ways to connect and share with each other."
BBM Channels
BBM Channels lets customers chat with other BBM users about topics that interest them. Customers can join channels about a range of topics from products, hobbies and sports to entertainment, fashion, cars and more. Channels can be created by brands, businesses and BBM customers alike and are a great way to communicate directly and immediately with people who share common interests in the broader BBM community.
By posting to their channel, channel owners immediately reach their subscribers with a message that can spark discussions. "Scheduled chat hours" allow BBM customers to have live chats with the channel owner – a great way to engage directly with their favorite channels one on one.
BBM Channels maintains the BBM core values of immediacy, privacy and control. Because BBM Channels live right inside BBM, BBM customers get notified the moment one of the channels they follow has a new post, or when someone responds to their comments.
With BBM Channels, customers can engage with brands or other customers without having to add them to their contact lists, thereby maintaining a high level of privacy. With BBM Channels, customers have the discretion to opt in only to channel brands that are relevant to them and always have control over the channels they subscribe to, while channel owners have control over how subscribers interact with their channel.
For brands and businesses, BBM Channels provides a new way to interact and connect with a highly engaged and targeted mobile audience. There are thousands of brands already using BBM Channels to engage with their customers. More on BBM Channels:
o Open, yet private. Channel owners control the conversation on their channels. Channel owners can choose to: allow subscribers to comment on posts freely or to approve them first; let subscribers chat with them directly anytime, or set chat hours; they can interact with subscribers without ever giving out personal details, or adding them as a personal BBM Contact. And with private channels, channel owners can keep in touch with closer circles on an invite-only basis.
o Channel reporting. Each channel has its own performance dashboard built right in. Channel owners can see stats on how subscribers are engaging with their channel, how many people have viewed each post and how the subscriber base is growing.
o It's fast and easy. Start a channel right from a BlackBerry, iPhone or Android smartphone. It only takes a few minutes to set up a BBM Channel and once it is set up, posting to it is as simple as choosing a photo and adding a short message.
Location Sharing
With location sharing powered by Glympse, customers can now share their real-time location with one or several BBM contacts for a specified amount of time – perfect for when people are running late, out with friends and more. BBM puts control in the customers' hands, allowing them to specify how long they want to share their location for, by setting a timer. When the timer runs out the customers' location becomes private again.
Dropbox Support
Built-in support for Dropbox™ makes it easy to send large files like presentations and videos. With Dropbox built in to BBM, you can send a file from your personal cloud directly to a BBM contact. On the receiving end, you can save the file directly to your smartphone or add it to your Dropbox account.
BBM customers have been asking for more emoticons, and now more than 100 new emoticons have been added to help you express yourself. Many of the new emoticons came from ideas submitted by customers!
BBM continues to connect friends, family and colleagues across a myriad of mobile networks, as the standard for mobile instant messaging with a fast, reliable, and engaging experience that puts control of privacy and personal information back in the customers' hands.

Legal Opinion: What's wrong with a couple of tyrants on a law firm's client list?
Law firms have to be profitable, but they are not obliged to act for anyone who comes through the door. Not giving enough thought to ethics can be catastrophic, says Matthew Rhodes
Wednesday 20 February 2008
There has been a recent flurry of foreign dictators, oligarchs and despotic governments using the English courts to have a pop at anyone with whom they have a grievance. This has led to much comment on the rights and wrongs of "forum shopping", but it also raises the issue of whether law firms should be accepting such instructions in the first place.
The law firm Penningtons clearly has no problem with this. It has recently been acting on behalf of Teodoro Obiang, president of Equatorial New Guinea, in his attempts to recover damages from Simon Mann and other alleged leaders of an attempted coup against him.
Obiang runs a brutal and corrupt regime and is reported to have eaten the body parts of his executed rivals. He's also reported to have threatened personally to rape Mann before flaying him alive. So it is per-haps unsurprising that when www.rollonfriday.com polled its readers last week, 86 per cent of the thousands of lawyers who responded roundly criticised Penningtons for acting.
Jon Heuvel, the managing partner of the firm's London office, would not comment on its motive for acting other than to say that it raised an interesting point of law and that everyone deserved representation. But solicitors don't have a cab rank rule. They are under no obligation to accept instructions and the overwhelming consensus of the profession is clearly that Penningtons shouldn't have done so.
Of course law firms are commercial concerns and have to be profitable. But most lawyers are altruistic, have a strong social conscience and take their role as officers of the court and members of a profession very seriously. Lawyers were quietly undertaking huge amounts of pro bono work long before it became fashionable for them to produce glossy reports on their corporate social responsibility. They're more likely to be sponsoring an ambulance than chasing it. And, as RollOnFriday's poll showed, most wouldn't even consider helping a dictator pursue a civil action, however much oil he was sitting on.
There's a wider point to this. Firms are very good at following procedures for things they are required to take seriously, such as conflicts and money laundering. But they are rather less good at considering whether they should be acting in the first place.
A ring round some of the largest firms in the City revealed that none of them had an ethics committee charged with reviewing potentially sensitive matters. The best that can be hoped for, apparently, is that a firm's conflicts group would refer anything that looked untoward to its head of risk.
The Obiang case is an extreme example, but firms are asked to advise on all sorts of matters which are rather less clear cut. Should a firm work on the financing of a dam which will result in the destruction of millions of acres of rainforest? What about if that dam will provide sufficiently cheap energy to lift thousands out of poverty? At the moment these sorts of considerations are often left to the personal opinion of one partner.
In the past, firms may have got away with a careless approach, but the press is now taking a keener interest. Penningtons wouldn't comment on how its traditional client base of wealthy individuals and family companies had reacted to the news of its involvement with an alleged cannibal but one can hazard a guess. Large corporate clients who have had ethics committees in place for years will increasingly expect law firms who are pitching for their business to do likewise. Young lawyers who've joined the profession with a desire to do some good are likely to shy away from firms with a couple of tyrants on their client lists.
Law firms are not obliged to act for anyone who comes through their door and the consequences of not giving enough thought to this can be catastrophic. Partners increasingly maintain that they are becoming more corporate in their management structure: setting up defined, sensible procedures for determining their client base would be a good start.
