wife calls Pink Floyd founder an 'a

Roger Waters estranged wife called him an in court as she demanded he return her 20,000 Rolex watch as they finalised their divorce.

Laurie Durning told the Pink Floyd co founder: "I want my watch,replica ladies rolex datejust, that all" during a row that threatened to derail their multi million pound settlement at the last minute.

During the hearing Durning told Justice Lori Sattler that she had tried to get her gold Daytona Rolex from the repair shop but staff refused to give it to her as it was being held in the name of Waters assistant.

Giving evidence she said: "When I handed his personal stuff back to him, he should have handed me the watch".

Waters lawyer Robert Dobrish told her: "It your watch. Pick it up at the store."

Justice Sattler ordered both parties to sign an additional agreement on top of their divorce settlement which gave Durning the watch,replica sell rolex oyster perpetual datejust.

Other matters had already been dealt with as the couple had signed a prenup agreement which Durning, a filmmaker,datejust rolex oyster perpetual replica, did not contest.

During the separation, Waters lived in the couple 7,replica oyster datejust rolex,000 square foot Manhattan townhouse while Durning stayed in their 10 million mansion in Bridgehampton on Long Island.

The riches of friendship in Virginia

Virginia Gov. live in Virginia, so a scandal involving lavish gifts to that state's governor is an honorary Inside the Beltway story. But what's fascinating is that the largesse shown to Gov. Bob McDonnell and his family by a wealthy businessman doesn't seem to have gotten him much (if any) favored treatment by the state.

We already knew that Johnnie Williams, the chief executive of dietary supplement manufacturer Star Scientific Inc.,datejust rolex replica, had spent $15,000 on catering for the wedding of one of McDonnell's daughters and had paid $6,replica rolex watch oyster perpetual datejust,500 for a Rolex watch presented to the governor by his wife. But wait! There's more.

This week, the Washington Post reported that Williams also gave $70,000 to a corporation owned by McDonnell and his sister last year, and a $50,000 check to the governor's wife, Maureen, in 2011. In all, according to the Post's tally, Williams gave $145,000 to assist the McDonnell family in 2011 and 2012.

The transactions are being investigated by law enforcement,rolex watch oyster perpetual datejust replica, but McDonnell did report at least some of them, and evidence of an illegal quid pro quo is elusive. (McDonnell and his wife talked up Williams' business, but, hey, they'd do that for any Virginia company.)

In an outraged editorial, the Post focused not on legality or illegality but on McDonnell's "egregious" conduct. The editorial almost seemed to be making an aesthetic judgment; it said that "in McDonnell's case, the goodies were over the top."

I'm not an expert on Virginia politics, but it doesn't surprise me at all that a businessman would glom on to a politician without any guarantee of a return on investment. I've seen it happen. Like athletes and movie stars, politicians attract groupies some of them very rich who get a kick out of the reflected glory of palling around with, and doing favors for,rolex lady datejust replica, the governor or mayor or city council member.

The Bachelorette's Michael Turnbull shows off his VERY smooth visage in video as he turns 35,van cleef knock off bracelet

Family affair: The reality TV superstar also posted a heartwarming photo with his parents, who famously appeared on a very memorable episode of The Bachelorette last year

Michael has been making the most of his celebrity status since appearing on Channel Ten's dating competition, becoming a regular on Australia's social scene.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia earlier this month, the brunette sportsman was bursting with excitement over the launch saying it's been a long time coming.

'The reason I started it was because there was a lot of bully and negativity out there through social media, so I wanted to create an environment which was positive,' Michael explained.

'The main purpose of the website is that it is a place where everyone can come together and a place where they can meet each other in a safe environment.

Safe haven:The site explains that the public place is an avenue where individuals can 'challenge' themselves to make a difference

'People can come to this place and talk to me personally and I can give them some advice that I have used in my life.'

The site includes weekly and monthly blogs about nutrition, education and life as well as an 'Ask Michael', a grant your wish section and an online shop,van cleef copy bracelet, where fans can purchase his Made With Love bracelets for a whopping $57.

Each of the bracelets represents, strength, love, friendship, gratitude and inspire and are made with lapis stones, 18K gold and silver.

The bracelets are a huge change from Michael's usual wrist wear of a fake Rolex watch, which the star infamously tried to pass off as real last year.

Media Musings Blog Archive Questions the way he likes it

We are all used to the friendly queries posed by government MPs during question time, which leads a Minister to spend several glorious minutes talking about what they are doing so well.

asked about alternative policies, Mr Speaker, the comment then comes, signalling the beginning of attack time.

The revelations this week that Commonwealth Ombudsman Allan Asher scripted questions for Greens Senator Sarah Hanson Young has evoked anger from many and surprise from most.

The Australian Matthew Franklin told the story under the headline for Ombudsman to step down In The Sydney Morning Herald Phillip Coorey article led with the slightly gentler headline independence questioned after Greens link just one sentence in the extensive Australian article summarises the origin of the furore.

engineered his evidence because he wanted to bring public attention to the fact that he needed more funding that simple. Unlike Alan Jones,van cleef fake bracelets, Andrew Bolt and a 14 year old boy in Bali, the Ombudsman can get enough air time.

While politicians from the dying Democrats party and former Family First Senator Stephen Fielding took the odd silly method to get media attention,the Ombudsman ironically wanted attention to ask for an increase to his $22 million budget, which would allow him to investigatefurther problems in government policy.

After giving evidence and answering those brilliantly written questions, Asher then released a media statement using the answers to support his office claim.

The media is right to report on the collaboration between the Senator and the watchdog. In a minority government where the Greens havethe upper house balance of power, it can be expected the Ombudsman will be regularly investigating policies they have supported, so needing to be, and being seen to be, independent is crucial.

But the Ombudsman role is to hold government to account. It would be expected that he co operate with any MP who could provide him an outlet to do so.

Franklinreferred toBobBrown comments that without Greens assistance, Asher views would have reached the public sphere themediacontinues to push theimportance of freedom of speech and open government, one should grant the Ombudsman a little slack ashe seeks to defend these principles.

The aftermath of the McDonnell affair

What do you know? Bob McDonnell got away with it.

The clothes. The trips. The watch. The car. The loans. The wedding reception. The golf outings. The golf equipment. The golf food.

McDonnell and his wife Maureen, along with the kids, entered the governor's mansion in 2010 on wings of gubernatorial entitlement,fake ladies rolex submariner, the grand expectation that new friends would provide new, pleasurable, enjoyable things. Because that's what happens when you get to be the governor of Virginia.

This week, the feds announced an end to attempts to prosecute McDonnell or his wife.

As a practical matter, no Virginia governor in modern history has suffered for material want free house, free food, free entertainment, free transportation, free about everything.

"I don't believe the old Mansion ever looked more beautiful than this evening with the lovely decorations for the inaugural reception," wrote Eta Donna Mann, after taking up residence in Virginia's venerable executive residence. "As I walked up and down the spacious hall robed in a gold charmeuse cloth, with an over dress of black Chantilly lace,rolex submariner 2014 fake, spangled with jet, a family heirloom, I am afraid I was proud as a peacock, not perhaps becoming in Virginia's Queen."

So wrote Virginia's First Lady, in 1910, the wife of newly ensconced Gov. William Hodges Mann.

But at least the thought hung in the back of Mrs. Mann's head that pride was a danger.

No such governing mechanism kicked in with the McDonnells. To the contrary. The McDonnells collected their due.

The arrangement might have gone largely unnoticed much was also unreported if it hadn't come from a man whose entrepreneurial interests and his interest in the McDonnells converged.

Is there any doubt about that part? Richmond businessman and all utility salesman Jonnie R. Williams Sr., had a product, a concocted dietary supplement, that he wanted to boost. He befriended the McDonnells in the furtherance of his sales.

And the McDonnells clearly needed things. Their shared enthusiasm for the high life had rendered them nearly insolvent. Williams became their financial life line.

"McDonnell . was convicted of accepting $175,000 worth of benefits including an engraved Rolex watch,rolex submariner womens replica, part of a wedding reception for his daughter and his wife's inaugural ball gown" from Williams, as Eric B. News and World Report, put it in May. "In return, McDonnell instructed state officials to meet with Williams, pressured the state university to study the efficacy of his product (a dietary supplement), allowed a 'product launch' at the governor's mansion and personally touted the product."

The prosecutors understood the arrangement. The jury understood. (Did it ever.) And the appellate court understood.

So what's left from this protracted affair,replica vintage rolex submariner, aside from that?

It's a question even the man at the center wants answered: "What was your own role, governor, in allowing the situation even to happen?" McDonnell asked of himself this week, after hearing that federal prosecutors had finally cut off the chase. "Even if you believe in your heart you're not guilty and you didn't violate any laws?"

As for the rest of us, we have in our hearts a few other thoughts, about the abject absurdity of a judicial system that produces such an outcome and the destroyed standards of public behavior left in its wake.

memorabilia on auction block

The items include Pesky's 2004 and '07 World Series rings, as well as the Rolex watch he received when his number was retired by the team. Also to be auctioned are bats autographed by Ted Williams and a ball that includes a Babe Ruth signature.

Images: Johnny Pesky auction items

"What's amazing about Johnny Pesky is you think about the different time periods he was involved with this franchise going back to the 1940s when he was a player and then coming back as a coach and then almost as an ambassador to the team all the way through the 2004 to 2007 championship series,fake rolex submariner womens," said David Hunt, president of Hunt Auctions.

Pesky was a player, manager, coach and broadcaster in a career with the club that spanned over 60 years. He died in 2012 at 93.

"I think that's what makes him so special and beloved by so many Boston fans. He really spanned time he might have been someone who was followed by their grandfather, their father and know themselves. He really bridges all those times together," Hunt said.

Photos: Johnny Pesky through the years

Hunt says there is a vast array of things up for grabs from items that may cost $100 up to $100,000.

"We have his 1975 American League championship ring, which should be about $5,000 to $10,000. But then we have his 2004 World Series ring,rolex ladies submariner fake, which is such a special piece. That was the one everyone waited for. And there was that quote: 'Ted we did it,' speaking to his longtime friend who had passed away,fake rolex watches submariner, Ted Williams. The ring should auction for $50,pre owned rolex submariner replica,000 to $100,000," Hunt said.

750K Campaign Fund Scheme CBS DC

Rep. Jessie Jackson Jr. Captiol December 10, 2008 in Washington, DC. Senate seat left vacant by President elect Barack Obama. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (C), who has the power to fill the vacant Senate seat, was arrested at his Chicago home yesterday and charged with corruption after prosecutors said he was trying to sell the seat to the highest bidder.

File photo of Jesse Jackson Jr. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., holding back tears, entered a guilty plea Wednesday in federal court to criminal charges that he engaged in a scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items. He faces 46 to 57 months in prison, and a fine of $10,000 to $100,000, under a plea deal with prosecutors.

A few hours later, his wife, Sandra Jackson, pleaded guilty to filing false joint federal income tax returns that knowingly understated the income the couple received. She faces one to two years in prison and a fine of $3,000 to $40,000. District Judge Robert L. Wilkins,mens rolex submariner fake, never been more clear in my life in his decision to plead guilty.

Later, when Wilkins asked if Jackson committed the acts outlined in court papers, the former congressman replied, did these things. He added later, for years I lived in my campaign,rolex ladies submariner fake, and used money from the campaign for personal use.

Jackson dabbed his face with tissues, and at point a court employee brought some tissues to Jackson lawyer, who gave them to the ex congressman. Jackson told the judge he was waiving his right to trial.

perfect candor, your honor, I have no interest in wasting the taxpayers time or money, he said.

Jackson had been a Democratic congressman from Illinois from 1995 until he resigned last November. He is scheduled to be sentenced June 28, and his wife on July 1. Wilkins, who presided over both guilty pleas, is not bound by the terms of the plea agreements. Both Jacksons are free until sentencing.

Since last June, Jesse Jackson has been hospitalized twice at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., for treatment of bipolar disorder and other issues, and he stayed out of the public eye for months, even during the November elections. His attorney said after the court appearance that Jackson health is an excuse for his actions, a fact. entered the courtroom holding hands with his wife and looking a bit dazzled as he surveyed the packed room. He kissed his wife and headed to the defense table.

Jackson father, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, sat in the front row. Before the hearing started, he wrote notes on a small piece of paper. When the proceedings started, he sat expressionless and virtually motionless, hands folded. As he made his way back to the courtroom for Sandra Jackson hearing, he took in a deep breath and let out a sigh. Several other family members also attended.

Jesse Jackson Jr., wearing a blue shirt and blue patterned tie and gray suit, answered a series of questions from the judge, mostly in a muffled tone. When the judge asked if he had consumed any drugs or alcohol in the previous 24 hours, Jackson said he had a beer Tuesday night.

As the proceedings wound up, Jackson sat at the defense table, furrowed his brow and shook his head, in what looked like an expression of disbelief. After the hearing was adjourned, he walked over to his wife, grabbed her hand, and then was greeted by his father. Jackson Jr. patted his father on the back a few times.

everybody back home I sorry I let them down, OK? Jackson told Chicago Sun Times Washington bureau chief Lynn Sweet, according to her Tweet from the scene.

Sandra Jackson, 49, wearing a black pantsuit, sobbed visibly during her court hearing, as her husband watched from the row behind the defense table. Sandi, as she known, was a Chicago alderman before she resigned last month during the federal investigation.

Jesse Jackson Jr., 47, used campaign money to buy items including a $43,rolex watches submariner replica,350 gold plated men Rolex watch and $9,587.64 worth of children furniture, according to court papers filed in the case. His wife spent $5,150 on fur capes and parkas, the court documents said. Under the plea deal, Jackson must forfeit $750,000, plus tens of thousands of dollars worth of memorabilia items and furs.

More details emerged in a 22 page statement compiled by prosecutors,fake rolex watches submariner, filed Wednesday, in which Jackson admitted that he and his wife used campaign credit cards to buy 3,100 personal items worth $582,772.58 from 2005 through April of last year. Personal expenditures at restaurants, nightclubs and lounges cost $60,857.04. Personal expenditures at sports clubs and lounges cost $16,058.91, including maintaining a family membership at a gym. Personal spending for alcohol cost $5,814.43. Personal spending for dry cleaning cost $14,513.42.

Among the individual purchases made with campaign credit cards:

A $466 dinner for two of personal nature at Mandarin Oriental CityZen restaurant.

A washer, a dryer, a range and a refrigerator for the Jacksons Chicago home.

A five day health retreat for one of Mrs. Jackson relatives.

Stuffed animals and accessories for them.

Goods at Costco, from video games to toilet paper.

According to the prosecution court papers, Jackson even arranged for the use of campaign money to buy two mounted elk heads for his congressional office. Last summer, as the FBI closed in, a Jackson staffer identified only as A tried to arrange for the sale of the elk heads, but the FBI was one step ahead. The bureau had an undercover FBI employee contact the staffer, claiming to be an interior designer who had received the person name from a taxidermist and inquiring whether there were elk heads for sale. They agreed on a price of $5,300.

Jackson wife, knowing that the elk heads had been purchased with campaign funds, directed the staffer to move the elk heads from Washington to Chicago and to instruct the sale contact to wire the proceeds to her husband personal account.

Over the years, the unidentified A provided significant help to the Jacksons in carrying out the scheme. Jackson used the aide for many different bill paying activities, including paying construction contractors for work on Jackson Washington home.

From 2008 through last March, Jackson re election campaign issued $76,150.39 in checks to the staff member, who was entitled to only $11,400 for work done for the campaign. The aide spent the remainder of the funds from the campaign for the Jacksons.

One of Jesse Jackson Jr. lawyers, Reid H. Weingarten, told reporters after the hearing that there reason for optimism.

Napoli star held up at gunpoint

NAPLES, Italy (Reuters) Napoli striker Lorenzo Insigne was held up at gunpoint and robbed as he was driving through crime plagued Naples over the weekend, his agent said on Monday.

Insigne was driving with his wife and two friends late on Saturday when he stopped at a traffic light,replica love necklace gold. A gunman on the back of a motorbike pulled level with the car and forced the four occupants to hand over their valuables,cartier replica pendant.

As he drove away, the thief asked Insigne, who comes from Naples, to dedicate a goal to him at Monday night's Serie A clash with Fiorentina, local media reported.
