Now that the dollar is ridiculously high...Freeze may have made a good investment with all them watches
This is just one of his so many expensive watches...now that the dollar is so high, he can sell these watches for almost twice as much as he bought them. Read the rest of what he wrote after the cut...
"especially with the recklessness of the last regime, coupled with their absolute lack of foresight. Global oil prices were falling, alternative energy was a major issue as every automaker was cutting down engine size and adding a turbo or making their engines hybrid thus demand for oil was dwindling and all of a sudden the US discovered a clever way to produce oil. Most people didn't have my foresight so they didn't share my school of thought..... Well they say most people don't see the big picture. It's tempting to laugh at them for the way I was mercilessly crucified.....But I won't... I won't give myself unmerited credit for being a financial genius as I only expected to guard the value of my investment in a dwindling economy, so this is a windfall beyond my wildest expectations. In Genesis 26:12 Isaac sowed and reaped a hundredfold in a time of famine. But unlike the biblical Isaac, I don't want a testimony while millions starve. I want my Nigeria back. Back to its original glory of being a land of milk and honey. And for the moral of the story, I would leave Chris Brown to say it with a song: "Please don't judge me, so I won't judge you........"
Holly Nicholson died after getting into trouble in rough water at Williamson's Beach, Australia when she went to rescue her younger brother on Thursday, February 11.
Nicholson's 11-year-old brother was swimming at the beach in Dalyston just after 8:00 when he got into trouble in rough water.
He was rescued from the water and taken to hospital with minor injuries. But Holly found herself in difficulties and later died despite efforts by her family and emergency services to save her.
Her death has devastated students and teachers at her school. Wonthaggi Secondary College principal Garry Dennis said the loss was very distressing for the school community:
"Holly was such a gentle and caring student, we're all feeling the loss today and our thoughts are with her family," he said.
"She endeared herself quietly to all those around her, students and staff, the huge impact she had in our school is being reflected in response to the news that we've had here today.
"The school will do all it can to support family and friends."
Mr Dennis said he had spoken to Holly's closest friends at the school, who said the 13-year-old had been an amazing friend:
"She was always helping others, she was kind and loving and she always found a way to make everyone else feel good, She would light up anyone's day with her smile ... we will miss Holly."
An investigation will be launched into the handling of the triple-0 call made when Holly drowned. Police arrived at the scene before paramedics, who were dispatched more than 20 minutes after the call was made.
The Minister, Ms Garrett said the investigation would look into the way the call and dispatch of emergency services occurred and not Ambulance Victoria.
"My focus has been on what occurred at the ESTA [Emergency Services Telecommunications Australia] side of things and I am very concerned there has been some serious issues with that process",
"There was a call made to ESTA, there was a dispatch of Victoria Police and then there was a dispatch of Ambulance Victoria.
"I do not want to go any further into it because it is the subject of the investigation, but just to say we are very concerned it took some 24, 25 minutes for an ambulance to be dispatched onto the scene of what was clearly a very distressing incident in the water." She said.
The Minister also said she owed it to the family to explain how the sequence of events unfolded.
"I am very saddened, on behalf of the Victorian Government and the Victorian community, that the distress this family is going through is being added to, But I assure them and the broader community this investigation will be rigorous, it will be thorough. It will be done with great respect to that family and all of the findings will be implemented." Ms Garrett said.
Confirming the news, the tennis star's agent said: "Andy and Kim had a daughter in the early hours of Sunday morning and the family are doing well."
Shirley Erskine, Andy Murray's grandmother said she was delighted at her great granddaughter's arrival.
Andy's mother Judy tweeted a photograph of Andy Murray's gold post box in Dunblane which has been adorned with pink ribbons, with the words "Dunblane baby love.......xxx".
The post box was painted gold when Andy won the gold medal at the London Olympics.
She later tweeted another picture of tennis balls and a dummy, with the caption "Tennis family #cute".
An anonymous team of Iranian app developers have come up with a solution to help young fashion conscious Iranians avoid the country's notorious morality police known in Persian as "Ershad" or guidance. Image copyrightTwitter/@nimaImage captionThe app uses data from users to pinpoint where mobile checkpoints have been placed.
Ershad's mobile checkpoints which usually consist of a van, a few bearded men and one or two women in black chadors, are deployed in towns across Iran and appear with no notice.
Ershad personnel have a very extensive list of powers ranging from issuing warnings and forcing those they accuse of violating Iran's Islamic code of conduct, to make a written statement pledging to never do so again, to fines or even prosecuting offenders.
The new phone app which is called "Gershad" (probably meaning get around Ershad instead of facing them) however, will alert users to checkpoints and help them to avoid them by choosing a different route.
The data for the app is crowdsourced. It relies on users to point out the location of the Ershad vans on maps and when a sufficient number of users point out the same point, an alert will show up on the map for other users. When the number decreases, the alert will fade gradually from the map.
In a statement on their web page the app's developers explain their motives in this way: "Why do we have to be humiliated for our most obvious right which is the right to wear what we want? Social media networks and websites are full of footage and photos of innocent women who have been beaten up and dragged on the ground by the Ershad patrol agents."
"Police need to provide security for the citizens not to turn into a factor for fear. A while ago, angry with such unreasonable oppressions, we looked for a solution to find a practical way to resist the volume of injustices peacefully with low risk level, to restore part of our freedom."
The app has rapidly become a hot topic on Iranian social media, with users generally welcoming it as an innovative way to avoid a potentially unpleasant encounter with the guardians of national virtue. "This is great," said one comment. Another posted: "This is a good and interesting idea. I just hope that the security level is also high so that no one can track down the person who reported the location of Ershad".
On Twitter, one user wrote: "I don't really care if the application works or not but each download is a protest." But another was concerned that the app could have unintended consequences: "I don't agree with what Ershad patrol does. But with Gershad, they are disturbing the police activities. What if there is an app asking everyone to show the traffic police's location - the result will be car accidents"
And a cleric tweeted: "God has ordered us to encourage people to do good, and forbid them from doing wrong, and the way to do it is not the morality police. But the way to solve the morality police issue is not this app either. I am worried about the impact of this work in the future."
According to the designers of Gershad, in 2014 alone, around three million people were issued with official warnings, 18,000 were prosecuted and more than 200,000 were made to write formal pledges of repentance.
It's the home of the "419" scam - the infamous online swindle named after a Nigerian anti-fraud law - and it's no secret that this country's international reputation has been tainted by allegations of criminality.
But it's not something Nigerians expected to hear from the mouth of their president himself, especially while he was on an official visit to the UK.
In an interview with the Telegraph newspaper, President Muhammadu Buhari said that Nigerians abroad have "made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking."
"We have an image problem abroad," he said. "And we are on our way to salvage that. We will encourage our countrymen to stay at home, work hard and make a respectable living at home."
Nigerians reacted to his remarks by the thousand - with rage, humour and some insightful self-reflection too.
Opposition senator Ben Bruce-Murray was one of the first to respond, urging people to get the hashtag #IamANigerianNotACriminal trending.

That hashtag rapidly evolved into the snappier #NigeriansAreNotCriminals which was used more than 35,000 times in a couple of days. There were a slew of tweets criticising the president for slandering the reputation of his own people.
A scheme which offers female students scholarships to girls in rural South Africa if they can prove they are virgins has been condemned by human rights groups. The BBC's Nomsa Maseko visited the town to find out more.
Thubelihle Dlodlo is nervous about leaving home in Emcitsheni village in rural KwaZulu-Natal. The 18-year-old has won a prized scholarship, but there is a catch: she only qualifies for the funding if she keeps her virginity.
"Remaining a virgin is my only chance to get an education because my parents can't afford to take me to school," she says.
To continue receiving her funding, Ms Dlodlo has to undergo regular virginity tests but she says she does not mind.
"Virginity testing is part of my culture, it is not an invasion of my privacy and I feel proud after I'm confirmed to be pure."
Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders have shaken up the US presidential race with decisive victories in the New Hampshire primary.
Billionaire Mr Trump is likely to get more than twice the number of votes of the next Republican candidate.
Senator Bernie Sanders, who beat Democratic rival Hillary Clinton by a huge margin, said his victory showed people wanted "real change".
Both candidates are riding on a wave of discontent with mainstream politics.
Ohio Governor John Kasich came second in the Republican vote, with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Florida Senator Marco Rubio all vying for third place.
New Hampshire is the second state to choose delegates in the long nomination battle following last week's Iowa caucuses, which were won by Mr Cruz for the Republicans and Mrs Clinton for the Democrats.
The result gives momentum to the winners ahead of the next contests in South Carolina and Nevada.
