Man sentenced to life in 2012 NC shooting death
Man sentenced to life in 2012 NC shooting death
A Charlotte man is facing life in prison after he was found guilty of first-degree murder in connection with a 2012 shooting death.
The Charlotte Observer reports 56-year-old James Stanley Daye was sentenced in Mecklenburg County Superior Court. District Attorney Andrew Murray said Daye was convicted by a jury of killing 37-yerar-old Walter Lee Gregory.
According to officials, Daye and Gregory were acquaintances who got into an argument in October 2012. Murray's office said that during an argument, Daye said he would kill Gregory if he returned to the condominium complex where Daye lived.
Murray's office said Gregory returned to the area and Daye fatally shot him in the chest with a rifle. Daye was sentenced on Thursday.

Newsletters still an effective business tool
By Jim Kendall
This column originally appeared in the August 25, 2014 Daily Herald
Back in the not-so-long-ago day, glossy four-color newsletters with high production and mailing costs were an integral part of many small business marketing campaigns.
They still are, delivering sometimes chatty and sometimes thought provoking messages to their intended audiences – and, thanks to companies such as Constant Contact that provide formatting and email list management support, doing so far less expensively.
Email may be an important cost containment factor, but content – written to meld the business' communications goals and reader interests – determines whether a newsletter is effective.
Newsletters "help me stay visible and give valuable information to my clients," says Cathy Leman, whose NutriFit Inc. emails a bi-weekly newsletter to 1,000 subscribers.
Leman's is an intentionally chatty newsletter that, with an open rate ranging between 20 and 24 percent, subscribers obviously like to read. A monthly recipe, which in early August was Whole Wheat Blueberry Bars, generally "is the biggest click-on," Leman says.
Leman, whose Glen Ellyn business centers on fitness and nutrition therapy, works hard to establish a rapport with readers. "Fitness and nutrition need to be positive," she says. "There can be a lot of intimidation and embarrassment, so I want the newsletter to be something personal, something that makes me approachable."
The early August edition talked about Leman's "me and a friend" getaway to Ann Arbor; celebrated birthdays and a client of the month; welcomed new clients; introduced a new personal trainer; suggested a way to relieve neck tension and – well, you get the idea.
Reading the NutriFit newsletter is like talking with Leman, which is what she wants.
Mike Moebs' weekly monogram is more like reading a textbook – except the monogram, published 38 times a year, is far better written. An economist and the CEO at Moebs $ervices Inc., an economic research and consulting business in Lake Bluff, Moebs writes for an audience made up of senior executives in banking, credit unions and the investment community.
With a base list of 12,000 C-level people, the monogram "is an educational piece (intended) to get our name out to people," Moebs says. Moebs drafts each issue, which is reviewed and edited by a team of four, including two outsiders.
Much of the content spins from two major research pieces the Moebs firm undertakes annually.
Moebs has published his monogram for 31 years. Clearly, it's effective.
Plan B Consulting's Planning Possibilities newsletter has changed relatively little since it first appeared in 2005, which is what Michelle Coussens, owner of the Batavia business, intends.
Plan B's primary clients are nonprofits and small businesses. "I have a lot of long-term clients," Coussens says. Her four-page monthly newsletter, which often includes a guest column, "keeps me on their radar."
Interestingly, Coussens uses the newsletter to sharpen her own ideas. "I like to write," she says. "This is a great way for me to think about a topic – collect thoughts (about a subject) I'll be teaching or presenting."

The Movie I Can't Watch
My mother-in-law and I talk about film a lot. An ongoing discussion seems to be that she doesn't like horror movies – or creepy, scary, or anything like that of the kind. She's often puzzled that I do like them. The argument that comes up most frequently is why would someone want to be scared. The point is I don't want to be scared. I wouldn't watch these things if they truly scared me. In fact, there is one movie I will not watch because it does absolutely terrify me.
Nosferatu – A Symphony of Horror ~ This 1922 classic of German silent horror is perhaps one of the greatest and most enigmatic and most legendary of all horror films – and I have made a conscious effort not to view it for years, as when I have, it's given me nightmares, when I was able to finally get to sleep that is.
I'm not sure if it's the imagery of the horrifying Max Schreck who played the vampire Graf Orlok or not. I am able to watch movies that emulate the visuals like the remake from 1979, or "'Salem's Lot," or even Shadow of the Vampire, which is about the making of this film. So it just must be the wonderful shadowy direction of F.W. Murnau, and Max Schreck himself. Oddly enough, Graf Orlok only appears on screen for nine minutes, but it's enough. No matter how you cut it, Schreck is scary here. The Renfield character played by Alexander Granach is also pretty fearsome as well.
Nosferatu is an unauthorized filming of Bram Stoker's "Dracula," thus why so many names are changed while the story remains much the same. Because of an ugly lawsuit, Stoker's widow had every print and negative of the movie destroyed. Luckily (depending on your outlook), copies reappeared in other countries around the world. It has since fallen into the public domain, and has been accompanied by several wonderful soundtracks, including one by Type O Negative.
I had mentioned the shadow work previously. It is some of the best ever in film history in my opinion, and the German silents were masters of the artform. And still, I won't watch it. I love watching old movies on the big screen, which is why I'm such a big fan of the Silver Screen Classics on the local Rave, but notably I once turned down a chance to see Nosferatu in a theater, it scares me that much. I probably won't even look at the pics supporting this blog entry.
Happy Halloween.

Betsson Casino
Betsson Casino
More than 50 years have passed from the earliest iteration of the Betsson name, when two Swedish entrepreneurs supplied slot machines to restaurants in their homeland, to the present day and the company is still going strong. Their current operations involve a sportsbook, poker software, bingo and a casino that provides virtual games and a live dealer casino as well as a number of skill, soft and scratch card games.
Software provider at Betsson Casino
The Swedish company operates under a license from the Malta Gaming Authority and has the backing of renowned testing companies the National Laboratory of Forensic Science in Sweden and Technical Systems Testing in Canada for the certification of all the games provided in the casino. The fact that they protect all personal data using VeriSign Secured to encrypt the data makes them one of the most trusted of all online gambling companies and is a major reason that they continue to grow.
Games available at Betsson Casino
The virtual section of the site houses 225 games from a number of providers, with NetEnt - of whom Betsson own a share - and fellow Swedes Microgaming the most prominent of the suppliers on site and while the casino screen does appear to be crowded on first look there is the ability to sort the games to your own liking. The newest and most popular games are shown when visiting the Casino page, but with eight filters available on the left side of the screen you can locate your favourite games in no time at all.
You can choose from All Games, Video Slots, Slot Machines, Betsson Classics, Table Games, Video Poker, Jackpot Games and Other Games to remove the games you have no or little interest in playing. All sections are amply filled with the best games that the biggest game suppliers can provide, but it is the Table Games section that impresses most as, in an unusual move, all of the live dealer blackjack and roulette games are included with their virtual version cousins.
Live dealer section at Betsson Casino
As well as the blackjack and roulette games, of which there are a total of six different tables, available in the live dealer section of the casino there are casino hold'em, three card poker and baccarat tables available. The dealers and games are broadcast in clear HD and there is the option to chat with the dealers and other table players during the games via the live chat boxes making the experience exactly like being at a brick and mortar casino.
Despite this eye-catching live dealer casino, the most impressive section of the site is the Jackpot Games section of the casino with two games in Mega Fortune Dreams and Hall of Gods showing multi-million pound jackpots at the time of writing. As you would imagine with these life changing amounts of cash they are attracting plenty of attention and are two of the most popular games at the 14 year old site.
Registration at Betsson Casino
Betsson make it easy to create an account and to fund your account so that you can get your chance to bet and win at one of the most reputable sites in the industry. Entering your details and activating your account takes less than two minutes while it takes just moments more to make a deposit using your preferred method. The usual selection of credit and debit cards as well as eWallets are available to fund your account, and while this is not outstanding in any way it is more than sufficient to get your money onto the site. Be warned though all credit and debit card transactions are charged a 2.5% fee for usage.
Withdrawal options at Betsson Casino
Should you win money and wish to withdraw we recommend the use of the eWallets such as Skrill or NETeller as these offer the quickest timeframes of 24 hours rather than up to four business days by Visa cards. It is not possible to withdraw to MasterCard credit or debit cards, but Betsson do have one of the more relaxed withdrawal limits around at €50,000 per day allowed to be withdrawn from your account.
Customer support at Betsson Casino
Should you have any issues you are able to contact the support team 24/7 by live chat, email and telephone. The team is happy to help and very knowledgeable with their answers, as shown by their awarding of the Excellence in Customer Service at the 2014 WIG Awards in London. The site is especially sensitive to cause of responsible gaming and players are able to set deposit limits and exclude their account either via the support team or their accounts to make Betsson one of the leading lights in this important aspect of gambling.
Promotions at Betsson Casino
Betsson already scores highly in all areas and they continue to live up to these impressive levels with their promotions too. They offer a 100% welcome bonus of up to €100 with a 35x rollover requirement as well as offering continual promotions with the Casino Treats promotion that offers free spins and bonuses seven days a week. On top of this there are ad-hoc promotions with a Jackpot prediction promotion offering free spins and a Easter giveaway on site at the time of this review, while on the live dealer blackjack table Betsson BJ 1 each Tuesday between 2pm and 2am CET there are reward cards with cash prizes given away too.
Truly Betsson is a site that cares about the needs of its users, in site security and fairness, and in the ease of use of the casino sections of the site. The only drawback is the lack of localised deposit and withdrawal options, but with all withdrawals processed in a rapid fashion this is a minor issue as all of the major and most used methods allow customers to fund and cashout from their accounts without issue.

Melbourne: Australia's squad for the Tri-Series, including India and Australia, and ICC Cricket World Cup will be boosted by the return of American fielding guru Mike Young.
According to CA website, fielding consultant Greg Blewett is in Adelaide for the birth of his child, Young will link with the side after the 15-man squad for the Tri Series and World Cup is announced in Sydney Sunday.
Blewett will then return during the Tri-Series and work with Young for the rest of the summer.
A Cricket Australia (CA) spokesperson said the decision to bring Young into the squad was made months ago due to the impending birth of Blewett's child and is not linked to Australia's fielding performance during four-match Test Series against India.
Blewett, a former state and national teammate head coach Darren Lehmann, was unveiled as Australia's fielding consultant in August.
Initially appointed for the tours of Zimbabwe and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), he has remained with the squad for the current series against India.
Blewett's appointment last year came after Young, who has worked intermittently with the Aussies for 15 years, returned to the US following the tour of South Africa in February and March.
Young, a former minor league baseball player and coach, first became involved in cricket in 1999 when he was invited to join a Queensland training session by then Bulls coach John Buchanan.
When Buchanan was elevated to the Australia coaching job, Young was brought on board and was credited with a sharp increase in Australia's fielding standards up until 2005, when his contract wasn't renewed.
When Australia's fielding slipped during their 2005 Ashes loss, Young was again called on by Buchanan. He was involved in Australia's World Cup wins in 2003 and 2007 and their Ashes whitewashes in 2006-07 and 2013-14, and has also worked as a consultant with teams in India, England, South Africa and New Zealand.
This summer will be Young's third separate stint with the side in less than two years. He was brought in by Lehmann as a fielding consultant for the home Ashes series and the tour of South Africa last summer and had previously been used by Lehmann's predecessor Mickey Arthur ahead of the 2013 Champions Trophy in Britain.

The declared leader of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is spinning critical ISIS military losses as a "blessing from Allah," while continuing to summon Muslims around the world to enlist in the jihadist group.
In recent days, the Islamic State has suffered defeat after defeat, including the strategic loss of a key dam in Syria and the liberation of the important city of Ramadi by Iraqi forces. A new online video shows Kurdish freedom fighters blowing up a TNT-loaded pickup truck on Christmas Eve.
Nonetheless, in an audio message released Saturday, the Islamist leader interpreted the stunning losses as a "blessing from Allah" that are part of a "pre-destined ordeal."
Various reports have interpreted the rambling message as "unhinged," "a desperate call for support," and an attempt "to boost the sagging morals" of ISIS fighters, while al-Baghdadi continues to insist that his Caliphate is "fine and expanding every day."
Sounding a bit like a football coach trying to rally a losing team at halftime, the Islamic State leader downplayed the damage from Western-led airstrikes in Iraq and Syria. "Be confident that God will grant victory to those who worship him, and hear the good news that our state is doing well. The more intense the war against it, the purer it becomes and the tougher it gets," he said.
"Be reassured, for your state is still good," he told supporters. "Whenever the conspiring of the nations increases against it, the more certain (is) the support of Allah."
Last week, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed by the U.S. and allies, recaptured the Tishreen Dam on the Euphrates River, further impeding Islamic State access to the Turkish border through the town of Manbij.
Earlier this month, Islamic State militants were routed after launching one of their largest offensives in many months. According to U.S. defense officials, the ISIS assault struck multiple sites near the northern city of Mosul, but the jihadists were beaten back by a Peshmerga counterattack that left more than 200 Islamic State militants dead.
In his 24-minute audio message, al-Baghdadi warned of difficult times ahead, saying that "the whole world" is united against the Islamic State.
"Do not be amazed by the meeting of the nations of disbelief and groups against the Islamic State," he said. "If we are killed and the wounds are numerous and the problems amassed against us and the hardships are great, then it is no surprise either."
Despite al-Baghdadi's bravado, anti-ISIS forces have drawn encouragement from their recent victories. In an online message, Sherfan Darwish, spokesman for an Arab rebel group in the SDF, wrote, "Congratulations to our peoples. … The battles are ongoing, the operation is ongoing, and the victories are ongoing."
In his message, al-Baghdadi went on to threaten the Jewish people, promising to establish the Islamist Caliphate in Israel.
"God caused the Jews of the world to gather in Israel, and the war against them has become easy. It is the obligation of every Muslim to carry out jihad," he declared.
While promising further attacks against Israel and the West, Baghdadi calls on the "sons of immigrants" to rise up against their adopted countries and wreak bloodshed.

Putting on the Cold War Goggles"By making Putin's villainy a major narrative in the bigger Ukraine story, the media limits policy options for the western decision-makers, raising the political cost of mediation for them in the conflict."
US-Russia Continue Medical CooperationThe Russian-American Anti-Cancer Center, created in 2013 in the Altai Territory, is researching a new cancer vaccine.
US Ambassador Reignites Cold War Rhetoric in KyrgyzstanKyrgyzstan's "growing partnership with Russia … [is] a challenge to our efforts to support Kyrgyzstan's democracy," the American ambassador wrote in an article.
New Think Tank on Eurasia and Central AsiaThe Eurasian Council on Foreign Affairs (ECFA) is a new think tank dedicated to the discussion of Central Asia's relationship with the European Union.
Debate: Stand Up to Aggression, or Ensure Nuclear Security?Should Washington and Moscow continue to work together to reduce nuclear stockpiles and cooperate to secure, or eliminate, weapons and nuclear materials despite the dispute around Russian actions in Ukraine?
2015 Looks Likely to be Russian Economy's "Annus Horribilis"Russia is a market which rewards those who take the time to look past the headlines and who are prepared.
Why Russia's Arctic Strategy is Starting to Worry NATORussia's increasing militarization of the Arctic comes at an interesting time.
End Of South Stream: Winners & LosersThe death of South Stream has major ramifications for countries throughout the region. So who are the winners and losers?
What's Next for the Ruble?Where to from here? That is a very tough question to answer right now. If we only had economics and oil to deal with, the answer would be a rally back toward 40 against the dollar. That is irrelevant for now.
Environmental Concerns for New Gas Pipeline to ChinaPipeline will go through pristine Altai Mountains in supply route seen as economically vital by Kremlin.
An "Igloo" for 5000?These 5000 would be, in part, soldiers and secret service agents to help defend Russia's arctic claims, as well as explorers and scientists, and also miners and oil workers.

Chicken Feet's King at home… in which Chicken Feet's King flies to a snazzy new dovecote and (nearly) hosts a Chinese banquet
19 Dec
Over the past few months, my home-sweet-home in China aka the apartment of death has made several appearances in the roost of the CFK. For those who haven't been following quite so avidly, just some of the delights of flat 1307 include:
– Doggy bags beside the toilet in case you want to go beyond a number one (I now have the most highly-trained bowels in Asia).
– Toenail clippings in the back of the sofa (not mine).
– Cupboard doors that would fall off without so much as a "heads below".
– Woodlice (both dead and alive) in the drawers
– A permanent coating of filth that would not go away however hard I scrubbed.
One bonus of Hovel no. 1307, however, was that it had an oven – a dodgy oven, with no temperature gauge, meaning it had to be left open for 10 minutes every 20 to allow it to cool down, and with a manual lighting system that involved unavoidable burns on one's fingers every time you wanted to whip up a pastry – but an oven nonetheless.
I was discussing said oven with my boss about a week ago re the famous Chingmas jiaozi and baozi. "Oh, how wonderful," she said. "Maybe you will host a Christmas party for your team? What day would be good for you?"
It took me a moment to realise that I had been roped into Doing the Office Drinks.
Still, I resigned myself to it. After all, not only did I have an oven, but I had also spent the past few weeks idly creating a "Chingmas playlist" on iTunes featuring crimbo crooners from Bing Crosby to Wham.
I sent out a cheery email to all my colleagues:
"Dear all,

TRENTON >> Two people were arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle Monday after state police stopped the SUV because the driver was not wearing a seatbelt.
"We can all agree that it's not a good idea to drive without wearing a seatbelt — even if the car you're driving is stolen," police wrote on their Facebook page announcing the arrests.
Senio Sterling, a 27-year-old city resident, was driving a GMC Yukon on South Broad Street when troopers initiated the motor vehicle stop for a seatbelt violation.
During the stop, police learned the Yukon was previously reported stolen out of Massachusetts.
As a result, Sterling and his passenger, identified as 25-year-old Amber Gordon, of Staten Island, N.Y., were arrested and charged with receiving stolen property.

Set design by Tom Bannerman
Tom Bannerman is a Sydney-based set designer, though he was born in Scotland. His family came to Australia in 1962, staying at a relative's home, the corner shop at the bottom of Awaba St, Balmoral, eventually moving to the nearby suburb of North Balgowlah.
As a theatre designer, his achievements include receiving the Chief Glugg's award for Excellence Behind the Scenes and his work being included in the last Australian showing of professional scenography at the Prague Quadrennial, the supreme international scenographic exhibition. Recent designs include Push Up and This Way Up (Newtown Theatre), Bedroom Farce, Tom and Nicole and Russell and Friends and The God Botherers, (Darlinghurst Theatre), Bent and Homebody/Kabul (B-Sharp), Cabaret, Don Juan in Soho and Take Me Out (New Theatre), Bondi Dreaming and The Crucible (Seymour Downstairs), Unit 46 (The Factory), All Shook Up (Knox Grammar), Influenced (La Mama) and Vincent River, The Carnivores and Mile High (Old Fitzroy). He is currently designing the set for Burnt by the Sun at New Theatre. Tom is better known north of the harbour for his work at the Ensemble Theatre, for which he designed 30 productions, the latest being A View from The Bridge. Tom became interested in theatre design not far from here at Balgowlah Boys High School, where his first work, Saint Joan, won for him the first of a hat-trick of Arts Council of Australia Drama Festival Awards for Best Set Design (1971, 1972 and 1973).
Tom's father, who was conscripted into the British army for six and a half years, received the care of military nurses first in a field hospital and then at the 110 British General Hospital, near Bruges, in the closing months of WWII, before returning to his regiment as it entered Germany following its crossing of the Rhine. The old veteran still speaks with enormous admiration for the medical help he received in those terrible times.

Over recent months I've developed an obsession with Rose Gold. I bought a ridiculous amount of rose gold jewelry (cheap costume jewelry of course), my lovely parents got me a watch as a gift, and I went on a hunt for the perfect Rose Gold nail polish, (I think I found it, its a Max Factor one). I then picked up the Naked 3 palette, and while I love that don't get me wrong, I still felt I was missing a true Rose Gold eyeshadow, mental eh? But while I was in Penneys the other day, I wandered over to the Catrice stand as I always do and left with The One. Pretty big statement right? But look at it! If that's not the perfect Rose Gold shade I don't know what is!
Application is so easy with these aswell, the formula is fantastic, so pigmented and creamy. I tend to use this on its own for day wear as its just so pretty, but I'm sure it'll look great blended with other shadows for other looks, (I'm not that creative).
Altogether there's 9 shades in the range, and at around 4/5 euro each, you can afford to have them all in your collection! ;)
Have you tried these?
Thanks for reading,

Everett sells all three NWA dealerships
Everett Automotive Group, one of the largest privately owned companies in Arkansas, has sold all three of its automotive dealerships in Northwest Arkansas, according to a release from the company.
The acquisition was completed Monday.
According to reports, purchasing parties involved include well-known businesswoman, Johnelle Hunt, and Dallas Cowboys owner and former Razorback, Jerry Jones. The new owning body, RML Automotive NWA LLC, is based in Little Rock and Dallas and include members JH Auto Holdings LLC and Blue & Silver Ventures Ltd.
Hunt is chairman of Hunt Ventures in Rogers, a privately held development and investment company. Jones, a North Little Rock native who graduated from the University of Arkansas, has owned the Cowboys since 1989.
After opening in 2008, Everett Buick GMC of Bentonville has been recognized as the number one Buick GMC dealer in Northwest Arkansas and in the top 15 of the highest selling volume GMC dealerships in the nation.
Everett Chevrolet of Springdale has been the top Chevrolet store in the state each year since opening in 2011.
Everett Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat has earned several factory awards since opening in 2013, including Fiat Chrysler's inaugural "Customer First" award in 2016 and again in 2017 and 2018.
Since the founding of Everett Automotive in 2006, the group's purpose has been to be a true family owned and family operated car dealership.
"We love our employees and loyal customers in Northwest Arkansas," said Dwight Everett, co-owner. "This decision is no reflection on our great team members or the Northwest Arkansas community, it is simply a business decision that aligns better, long-term, with our purpose."

Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump reacted to Tuesday's Democratic debate broadcast on CNN.
According to Trump, his counterpart, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton did what she needed to do and avoided being damaged by her opponents.
"In all fairness, like her or not, she did her job and they were very, very kind," Trump said. "All of these people, including [Sen. Bernie] Sanders should have been hitting Hillary hard."
Trump, however, was not as complimentary when speaking about Clinton's opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
"I think Bernie actually for the sake of a good sound-byte let her off the hook," he said. "When you're losing, cause he is losing badly if you look nationally, you're losing that badly you have to go a lot stronger."
