wife will plead guilty
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife agreed Friday to plead guilty to federal charges growing out of what prosecutors said was a scheme to use $750,000 in campaign funds for lavish personal expenses, including a $43,000 gold watch and furs.
Federal prosecutors filed one charge of conspiracy against the former Chicago congressman and charged his ex alderman wife,
replica rolex oyster perpetual datejust stainless steel, Sandra, with one count of filing false joint federal income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2011 that knowingly understated the income the couple received. Both agreed to plead guilty in deals with federal prosecutors.
The son of a famed civil rights leader, Jackson, a Democrat, entered Congress in 1995 and resigned last November. Sandi, as she's known, was a Chicago alderman, but resigned last month amid the federal investigation.
Jackson used campaign money to buy such things as a $43,
oyster rolex datejust replica,350 gold plated, men's Rolex watch and $9,587.64 of children's furniture, according to court papers filed in the case. His wife spent $5,
rolex oyster perpetual datejust gold replica,150 on fur capes and parkas, the document said.
"I offer no excuses for my conduct,
replica oyster perpetual rolex datejust, and I fully accept my responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes I have made," the ex congressman said in a written statement released by his lawyers.
Espn Always On The Lookout For Sports Nuts
Maybe you seen the promos for ESPN SportsCenter. There the one where Cherokee Parks tries to bribe Dan Patrick with his Rolex watch in exchange for some air time. There another where Roy Jones barters for the same thing with Mike Tirico,
van cleef replica bracelets, except he uses his championship boxing belts as bait. Jones says, got two. watched them and thought, hmmm. What a great job those SportsCenter guys have.
Last week ESPN coverage of the Great Alaska Shootout brought numerous employees of the network to town. Several local people helped out by keeping stats, including one who inquired about employment possibilities in ESPN Bristol, Conn., headquarters.
As it turns out, ESPN is always on the lookout for young, talented people to help out behind the scenes at SportsCenter. These people most of whom have just graduated from college or who have only been in the work force a short time are called production assistants, or PAs. At the end of six months,
bracelet replica van cleef alhambra, they graded and the best ones are hired permanently.
get a soup to nuts taste of studio production, said ESPN spokesman Dave Nagle. large duty they have is they serve as screeners watching games and picking out highlights. any given night, dozens of PAs gather in a room filled with television monitors. Each is assigned one game to watch and take notes on his or her observation,
van cleef arpels fake alhambra bracelet, identify critical moments in the game and keep track of other highlights.
looks like NASA, Nagle said. probably a 40 by 70 (foot) room, and at night it a bit of a madhouse in there. keeping focused on your game when a dozen others are airing on screens right next to yours isn the toughest part of the job. The toughest thing could very well be making it through the interview each PA candidate goes through before getting hired.
Al Jaffe, ESPN director of talent and production recruitment, quizzes all prospective SportsCenter production assistants on their sports knowledge.
somewhat notorious around here,
van cleef arpels knock off alhambra bracelet, Nagle said of the test. It all verbal and somewhat off the cuff. It to test your knowledge and creativity. They want to make sure you remember who was in last year World Series and who was playing third base. other things, Jaffe tries to test a person knowledge of sports outside his or her geographical region. ask someone from San Diego about the Eastern Division of the NBA, or he ask someone from Florida about Big Eight football, Nagle said.

Architectural photography is a peculiar business. In one sense, it's a species of advertising, existing to show off a building to prospective clients and simply document what someone else has created. Few people therefore succeed in making architectural photos that are works of art and even then the architect often proves stronger than the photographer. Pedro Guerrero's images of buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright are a notable exception. In the small exhibition of prints at.

Is Now The Time To Make An Investment In Rolex Watches
I always knew that these classic timepieces were something to cherish and pass down to your children because their value would continue to creep up as time (no pun intended) passed.
However, on January 24, 2009 in the London Times, an article titled, "With shares sinking, now could be the moment to invest in a timeless Rolex," my beliefs have been validated. The best Rolex watches to invest in are the larger, sportier watches such as the Submariner Date, the Sea Dweller or GMT Master.
These three watches are the highest in demand and hold their value the best. I guess that's good news for me (read my hub titled, "My Rolex Submariner Purchase Experience"). However, what's the better market to invest in: The new watch market or the used watch market?
New Or Pre Owned Rolex Watches: What's The Better Investment?Matt Bowling again says that purchasing a pre owned Rolex, especially one of the models listed above, is probably the better way to go. Good deals can be found if you look in the right places such as at auctions,
sweet alhambra knock off bracelet, or on eBay and Craigslist, or in your newspaper classified ads. Since retailers keep raising the price of new Rolex watches, you'll see a better return on your money for a pre owned Rolex watch in the long run.
In fact, some self proclaimed Rolex watch experts, make good money buying and selling them as a hobby. Take the story of Joel Reid, a security consultant and Rolex buying and selling hobbyist. He was lucky enouth to make a 1,500 profit from selling a Rolex Daytona, then
buying it back,
van cleef and arpels clover knock off bracelet, and selling it again!
The Best Rolex Years: What Were They?Paul Maudsley, director of
watches at Bonhams, the auction house, says Rolex watches from the 1960's such as the Submariner, GMT Master and
chronographs,
sweet fake alhambra bracelet, are the more popular models that hold their value at least with men that fancy cars and watches. Watches from this era (especially the ones mentioned above) are definitely a good investment. Maudsley noted that 18 months ago, a Rolex GMT Master
from 1960 would have cost 4,000. This past December, they had one sell for 9,500!
The Bottom LineIn my opinion, you should buy and keep the Rolex watch that you fall in love with. If that happens to be a Submariner, a GMT Master,
van cleef and arpels perlee knock off bracelet, a Sea Dweller, or any other popular Rolex model that rises in value, then great. If not so what.
Unless your Rolex purchase is strictly a business transaction because you're in the luxury watch game to buy low and sell high, then the only thing that should matter to you is that you love your Rolex whatever model you choose; not whether or not it's popular, or that it will rise in value over time.
Love your Rolex, and it will love you back! Now how's that for sickly sweet and slightly disturbing!

Make recycled goods covetable
Objects have social significance. Through them we signal our identity and status to others. Marketing experts know that belongings convey aspirations that owners wish to display to others. Designer goods have cachet because of their expense or exclusivity. To all but the most ascetic among us, it is important to some degree what others think about our choice of gadgets,
bracelet replica alhambra van cleef, car, dcor or clothing.
These mores of ownership inform the value that we assign fakes or those who own them. When it comes to second hand goods, most of us care about who previously handled them and what they were used for we would rather wear the clothing of a beloved celebrity than a murderer. We reverently hand down great grandma's costume jewellery to the next generation, but toss last season's bling from the high street. It is as if something tangible has imbued the very substance of the object.
Underpinning these unconscious, often irrational, preferences is psychological essentialism a belief that identity is conferred by a metaphysical dimension, an essence that cannot be removed, filtered, eradicated or repurposed by physical means. Countering these biases with logic is difficult.
But countered they must be. Essentialism presents a formidable obstacle to accepting as we must that all materials can and should be reused or recycled. To realize a circular economy in which resources are kept in use for as long as possible the perceived status and value of reused materials must be changed. How? I think the answer requires us to shift from valuing objects on the basis of exclusivity to a valuation that prioritizes historical reuse.
Status symbolsSome have argued that today's rampant consumerism reflects an obsession with gaining status that originated from our evolved capacity to live in hierarchical social groups in which possessions were equated with success1. Status determines reproductive success in many social animals. Just as the male peacock's large and lustrous tail signals his health and strength to prospective mates, so too does evident material wealth in humans.
More than a century ago, US economist and sociologist Thorstein Veblen coined the term conspicuous consumption as the attaining and exhibiting of costly items to impress others2. He argued that many people in power, from the Egyptian Pharaohs to the maharajahs of India, flaunted their wealth to signal superiority. Little has changed over millennia.
But our ability to make more possessions has changed. The accumulated store of manufactured goods has risen exponentially with the power of technology to increase production. For example, between 1860 and 1920, US production increased 12 14 times, whereas the population only tripled. The amount of stuff we could make outstripped demand, which needed stimulating to maintain economic growth. Marketing strategies since have reinforced consumerism as a necessary component of self worth, creating problems from mild binges of 'retail therapy' to pathological over spending.
This incentive to own does not require much effort even children are selfish about possessions. More than 80% of preschoolers' conflicts with peers revolve around ownership3. Toys are more coveted when they have been touched or named by another child. We soon learn to define ourselves by what we own. For example, men tend to display trophies and women are more likely to decorate their spaces with objects associated with their relationships.
Because we tend to view ourselves positively, we project greater value onto our own possessions than others would an impulse called the endowment effect. This bias varies among cultures and is stronger in individualistic compared with interdependent societies. For example, in a 2010 study5, US adults of European heritage asked for a much higher selling price for their coffee mug compared with Asian American adults. In the same experiment, priming Chinese and Japanese adults to think about themselves shifted the endowment effect in a direction more typical of Westerners.
Surprisingly, the endowment effect may be stronger where there are more rather than fewer possessions. For example, the Hadza hunter gatherers of Tanzania are all equally poor and do not normally overvalue their own possessions. It is the gap between the haves and have nots that drives possessiveness, it seems. According to Nicholas Christakis, a sociologist at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, the endowment effect arises when inequality in individualistic societies is visible to all6. When it comes to economic harmony, ignorance or greater equality is bliss.
The 'extended self' hypothesis7 includes in our 'self' everything that we can claim ownership over. A person who owns a nice home, a new car,
van cleef and arpels perlee fake bracelet, good furniture and the latest appliances, is recognized by others as someone who has passed the test of personhood in Western society.
The pleasure one derives from a Rolex watch or an Armani suit is largely psychological and is based on perceived desirability rather than on sensory or functional pay off. Designer brands are esteemed beyond their quality. By definition, a luxury item (the word coming from the Latin luxus, meaning excess) generates value from its exclusivity. Lobsters and oysters command high prices today, but in the eighteenth century, before refrigeration allowed them to be shipped to cities,
van cleef rose gold knock off bracelet, they were the food of poor fishing communities.
Authenticity also matters. Reproduced items or fake brands are valued less, even though they can be indistinguishable from an original. And we cannot always fool ourselves. One study8 showed that individuals who wore what they believed to be fake designer sunglasses felt sullied and were more inclined to dishonesty, even when the glasses were in fact expensive originals. If we were told that a small particle of the ring's metal was replaced, we would regard it as the same ring. If we were told that over time the ring was completely renovated, we would still think it the same ring even when there was no original material present the same as the swapped ring. Thus there is an essential property of the ring beyond its physical make up that continues its identity.
Such retained identity could operate by contamination. Each new particle of gold added to the ring becomes assimilated into the whole. Simply by touch, objects take on the property of the owner as if by contagion. For example, memorabilia collectors will pay inflated prices for a sweater that they believe was worn by a pop star or famous actor, but much less if it is sterilized. Conversely, they will pay little for one that belonged to a disliked figure (such as a fraudster) unless it has been sterilized10.
In short,
van cleef and arpels knock off bracelet alhambra, we value old items for their sentimentality, nostalgia or connection with the famous. But not as much as we once did: the Antique Collectors' Club's Annual Furniture Index, based on a mixture of auction and retail prices of 1,400 typical items, has been on the slide since reaching a peak in 2002.
In the same way that conspicuous consumerism was encouraged at the turn of the twentieth century to redress the imbalance between overproduction and demand, policies must now encourage conspicuous non consumption and reuse as the new signifiers of self worth.
To address the long term consequences of unbridled materialism, we need to make having fewer things and using recycled goods more socially desirable. Currently, only a few retailers sell items such as purses and bags that have been ingeniously 'upcycled' from low value, discarded goods such as cement sacks and tyres. Instead of being niche products, such items should be status symbols. Frugal innovation must become ubiquitous, not just the preserve of poor nations or of times past.
The more recycled material used in an object, the more this quality should be advertised (and rewarded with tax breaks and other market levers). In the same way that food products must declare their constituents and additives, manufactured goods should indicate the extent of their recycled content. Packaging often states the proportion of recycled material used but rarely does the same disclosure appear for the product contained within.
This might start to shift attitudes away from the appeal of the 'brand new' to appreciating the value of the 'brand renewed' something that will be essential in a sustainable, circular, economy.
Bob McDonnell indicted on corruption charges
Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife,
rolex submariner womens fake, Maureen, were charged in federal court on Tuesday for allegedly taking tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts while in office from a supporter who sought help from the state government.
McDonnell held a press conference with his wife and one of his daughters by his side on Tuesday evening, insisting he was "falsely and wrongly accused."
During his final State of the Commonwealth address earlier this month, McDonnell who repaid the money and returned the gifts apologized for the "problems and pain I've caused this past year." Some of the gifts allegedly included a $6,500 Rolex watch, $10,000 worth of Oscar de la Renta clothing and $15,
mens rolex submariner replica,000 for his daughter's wedding expenses.
The indictment came just 10 days after McDonnell once considered 2016 Republican presidential material left office, making way for Democrat Terry McAuliffe. The former chairman of the Democratic National Committee narrowly beat Ken Cuccinelli, a Republican, who was also hurt by the gift giving scandal. Cuccinelli,
rolex submariner used replica, who was McDonnell attorney general, apologized last fall for taking gifts from the same businessman.
McDonnell is the latest GOPer to find himself embroiled in scandal. Like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, McDonnell easily sailed to victory in 2009; both were lauded as problem solvers willing to put politics aside. Christie, of course, is now waist deep in allegations that his office abused its power,
fake submariner rolex, with federal and state investigators looking into whether his top aides caused traffic jams seemingly for political retribution. McDonnell and Christie, both of whom were on Mitt Romney's vice presidential short list in 2012, now seem to have a rough road ahead of them. Tuesday evening, Cuccinelli said on CNN that Christie should resign as head of the Republican Governors Association. "It makes sense for him to step aside," Cuccinelli said.
At his press conference the former governor said that while he regrets accepting the gifts and takes full responsibility,he did nothing illegal for "what I believed was his personal generosity and friendship" with Williams. The GOPer added: "I never promised and Mr. Williams and his company never received any government benefit of any kind from me or my administration. We did not violate the law, and I will use every available resource and advocate I have for as long as it takes to fight these false allegations and to prevail against this unjust overreach of the federal government."
He added that law officials were acting on a "misguided" legal theory that facilitating an introduction for a meeting or appearing at a reception involving a political donor was somehow a "serious federal crime." If that was the case, McDonnell argued, "nearly any elected official from the president on down would have be to be charged."
McAuliffe has promised to sign an executive order enacting a limit on gifts to himself and members of his staff.
The Democrat said in a statement that he is "obviously troubled by the charges that federal prosecutors have made against Governor McDonnell and his wife Maureen and the message that this period in our history sends about how government in this Commonwealth is run." McAuliffe said he hopes justice will be served and that he can help prevent "episodes like this from occurring ever again."
Seattle cops seize cache of 68 guns at suspected burglar
Reports indicate the suspect was connected to a white, late '90s Toyota Forerunner.
Another burglary occurred at the same business on Friday. A witness who allegedly saw the heist called in a detailed suspect description and said the burglar may have driven a silver, older model Toyota Forerunner.
Officers arrived and detained a man standing next to the Forerunner parked at the scene. Police saw suspected stolen items inside the vehicle and arrested the man,

A detective acquired a search warrant for the suspect's Bellevue home and the Forerunner. Bellevue and Seattle cops served the warrant at the man's home Monday and found items from the Dec. 31 burglary, including all of the stolen firearms and suppressors. Other stolen loot included custom tactical gear, custom knives, a Rolex watch,

Bob McDonnell seeks to reclaim place in public life
VIRGINIA BEACHFormer Gov. Supreme Court overturned his felony corruption conviction.
With his career as an elected official in the rearview mirror, he has focused his attention on four jobs, starting a political research center and paying off legal bills that add up to $27 million.
McDonnell is still dealing with a marriage and family relationships strained by the public corruption case. His legal defense in part involved pointing out that, unbeknownst to him, his wife, Maureen, had received money or gifts from businessman Jonnie Williams, including a Rolex watch she gave McDonnell.
Looking relaxed in jeans and a polo shirt rather than his usual business suit, McDonnell sat for a wide ranging interview Thursday afternoon to talk about the criminal case, his new career path, his time as governor and today's volatile political climate. Earlier Thursday, he closed on a new home near Great Neck Road.
The 62 year old was contrite about he and family members having received more than $170,000 in gifts, cash or loans from Williams and sparking a federal investigation.
"If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't have taken any gifts,
rolex submariner date fake," McDonnell said. "I would just remove any appearance of impropriety from anybody."
But he was equally adamant as he has been since the investigation began in 2013 that he did nothing illegal.
"I knew in my heart I wasn't doing anything," he said. "I never would have crossed any of those lines for anybody."
Until June, McDonnell was facing two years in federal prison after a jury and later an appeals court determined he was guilty of 11 felony counts, and his wife guilty of nine,
rolex submariner price replica, all related to accepting items of value in exchange for taking official action to help Williams' business. Supreme Court unanimously overturned his conviction, agreeing with his attorneys that prosecutors were overly broad in their interpretation of corruption statutes.
McDonnell's attorneys argued he did nothing more to assist Williams than he had done for anyone else seeking help from his office. Prosecutors later dismissed the indictments against him and his wife.
While the high court sided with McDonnell, it also chided his conduct, calling it "tawdry tales of Ferraris, Rolexes and ball gowns."
McDonnell, who wore a wedding ring Thursday,
rolex submariner women fake, declined to talk about his relationship with Maureen McDonnell other than to say they are still married. He interrupted the interview at one point when she called.
"We are working through some things," he said.
McDonnell said he's not angry, but he is quick to heap criticism on federal prosecutors, speaking with disdain about how investigators treated his wife, their five adult children and other family members.
The McDonnells, their children and two sons in law each had to have their own lawyers as they testified before a grand jury, he said. Four of the children also testified during the trial.
The children were advised to be careful of conversations with their parents or they could be charged with obstruction of justice, he said.
"They threatened my family. It was really horrible."
"The case has taken a huge toll on the family for multiple reasons, largely due to things that the government chose to pursue," McDonnell said. "The case has only been over for nine months,
womens rolex submariner replica, and there's still a lot of healing to do with my family and my friends. And so we're continuing to walk that journey."
McDonnell, a Roman Catholic who sometimes attends another Christian church, said he believes divine providence contributed to the case being overturned and dropped. He said he was able to remain upbeat through the conviction, sentencing and appeals because of his faith. He also was buoyed by the birth of the McDonnells' four grandchildren, including a set of twins, during the legal battles.
McDonnell said the outpouring of support from friends and strangers particularly in Hampton Roads has never waned since the 2014 indictment.
"Almost every day they come up to me in a gas station or a Food Lion or see me somewhere and they say something," said McDonnell, who was often surrounded by well wishers when he was in the audience of political forums.
Only twice did anyone say something negative, he said. football game yelled out at me, 'You should be in a jail!' " he said. "I got that, which didn't make me feel good. But this was the Notre Dame game and we beat them. And I don't remember the second time."
Today, McDonnell holds four jobs in addition to serving on the boards of community organizations.
With his law license restored after the felony conviction was overturned, McDonnell rejoined his old law firm, Poole Brooke Plumlee PC. He works on select matters as a "rainmaker," bringing in clients rather than handling cases, he said. Meanwhile, he keeps an office at The ESG Cos., where he works as a consultant on the firm's Oceanfront arena project.
Since 2015, he and his sister Maureen have operated The McDonnell Group, a consulting firm that has been involved in real estate deals in Virginia and New York, he said.
He joined Regent University's faculty earlier this year and teaches two weeks of classes at the law or government schools in the spring and fall terms. McDonnell earned his master's and law degrees at Regent, and plans to establish the Governor's Center for the Restoration of Federalism on the campus.
It is that center, he said, where he hopes to contribute to American politics by pressing for changes that would to shift government power from Washington to states.

Robert McDonnell testifies it was the legal donations
WASHINGTON For years, groups urging overhaul of campaign finance laws argued that large donors have a disproportional influence on American politics.
Last week, former Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell, whose corruption trial is about to go to the jury, made the case for these advocates.
McDowell testified that Virginia businessman Jonnie Williams wasn't selected to sit next to him during a New York City dinner because of the gifts given him and his family,
replica cartier chain for men, including a $20,000 shopping spree for his wife Maureen that same day, but because of his legal campaign contributions, The Washington Post reported.
"He was probably the largest donor there," the governor testified, according to The Washington Post. He maintains that he didn't perform any "official acts" to benefit Williams,
replica necklace love cartier, head of a vitamin supplement company, who prosecutors say provided $177,000 worth of gifts, including a Rolex watch, vacations and loans.
The impact of "legal donations" has been questioned by advocates for better and more timely disclosure and congressional action to reverse a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that advocacy groups can't be limited on spending for advocacy as long as they aren't coordinated with any campaign. In Louisiana, Americans for Prosperity, a group that reportedly relies heavily on donations from the billionaire Koch brothers,
replica chain cartier, is spending the most on ads most criticizing Democratic Senate incumbent Mary Landrieu.
The Center for Responsive Politics said that so called dark money advocacy ads not linked to a candidate from groups that don't reveal donors reached $50 million so far a record for this point in an election cycle, and more than seven times beyond the outlays by such groups at this time in the last midterms.
"And that's just the amount that has been reported to the Federal Election Commission,
love necklace replica gold, which doesn't include tens of millions more spent on 'issue ads' that aired earlier in the cycle and didn't have to be reported to the agency," the center said.
