Real Housewives of New Jersey
So poor Melissa, her aunt Louella passed away from the cancer, which is very sad for Melissa and her famiglia. In fact, it's so sad that Amber gets over herself long enough to bring Melissa some chicken soup and only sort of hint at her own cancer experience. The two women agree that the cancer "puts things into perspective" and that their bickering pales in comparison to real probelmatica like death and meatball fraud, so everyone agrees to be cool with one another again. For the time being.
As for Nicole, she prepares a salmon and kale breakfast salad for her dog, as yousdo, while her madre harasses her about her relationship with Fireman Bobby. Madre Santa notes that it's interesting that after being with Nicole for almost a year, Fireman Bobby can "space out his need to be around" Nicole in one of the most amazing backhanded compliments ever. Nicole and Madre Santa then each separately wonder if Fireman Bobby is a "confirmed bachelor."
Later, Nicole goes over to Tuhressa's house to drink questionable cocktails, try on her sister's new inappropriate dress, have her sister take pictures of her wearing her sister's inappropriate dress which she then sends to Fireman Bobby, before then getting an earful from her sister about how she's worried that Fireman Bobby is never going to marry her. What a super fun time for Nicole!
Elsewhere, Teresa with a kofia? a ibenik?a potted plant cozy? on her head, is signing cookbooks when Melissa comes over, demands wine and a fire in the fireplace and to watch some Netflix. In an interview, Teresa explains that she and Melissa are getting along so much better these days because Melissa "is maturing" and not because Melissa and Folletto are taking pity on Il Meatballs in the midst of all their meatball problems and are willing to overlook painfully obvious insults like Teresa telling Melissa that they should watch the Godfather so that Melissa can learn a thing or two about famigliaand loyalty. Just breathe deeply, Melissa, and keep drinking wine. They'll all be going to meatball jail soon enough.
As for Dina, she goes to her attorney's office to talk about how she's not ready to file divorce papers yet and to cry. Her divorce attorney assures her that this is fine, Dina doesn't have to file until she's ready to file, but that Dina does understand that she is still going to be billed at her hourly rate to come sit here in her office and cry about doing nothing, Dina knows that, right?
And, yeah, yeah, Dina's having trouble moving on,whatever. PUT SOME SHOULDERS ON. YOU DO NOT LOOK LIKE A PROFESSIONAL. (At least, not that kind of professional.)
So Dina spends Valentine's Day night (Valentine's Night, I suppose would be the easier way of putting that) wearing her pajamas, eating her daughter's chocolates, on the phone with her personal assistant, Luke, who should also have something better to do with his time, all the while with her face in some sort of spa helmet that flashes a bunch of Christmas lights into her forehead that is supposed to do something, who even knows what, certainly not Dina.
Teresa and Meatball spend their Valentine's Night discussing their finances, vaguely alluding to their legal worries, making business plans (Meatball will be the "brawn" of the operation;Teresa will be the "brains," heaven help them), and learning what a "calendar" is. It is a very fun, romantic evening.
In contrast, Il Follettos spend the evening at dinner where Melissa worries about how much time away from the famigliaFolletto is going to have to spend between his building work and the new paper mulching business. In an interview, Melissa reveals that Folletto does not even know what school his son goes to, and tried to drop little Fagioli off with some strangers at a strange school this one time, because he's just a super great babbo. ANYWAY. As a Valentine's gift, Melissa presents Folletto with a book of lingerie photos she took for him, which, good for her, I just am not convinced she needed to share them with us, too. (But who am I kidding, of COURSE she needed to share them with us.)
Also having dinner together to celebrate Valentine's Day: the twins, Rino, Fireman Bobby and the twins' parents? For some reason? It's a nice gesture and all, but considering what happens at the end of this episode, I can't help but be a little suspicious that Madre Santa and Padre Sal are tagging along. But fine. Let's just go with it.
So everyone puts on their sluttiest best red outfit and they go to one of Rino's restaurants, where everyone shares a memorable moment of their significant other. Tuhressa recalls meeting Rino for the first time and how the bathroom attendant at his restaurant told Tuhressa that she was going to marry Rino. Romance! Also something or other about a lobster bib, who knows. We are helpfully reminded that Tuhressa and Rino have been married to each other twice now, having once divorced for a little while,replica sell rolex oyster perpetual datejust, only to find their way back to one another. And in that time apart, at least Rino dated other people, specifically every stripper in the Tri State area according to Tuhressa. But who cares, the past is the past, nothing to see here, move along.
Meanwhile, Nicole becomes more and more sullen about the whole Fireman Bobby's reluctance to marry her thing, and explains that Madre Santa is worried that he's a "confirmed bachelor"
and that she,rolex datejust oyster replica, too, wants to make sure he's not a "confirmed bachelor."
Instead, Fireman Bobby reminisces about how when he met Nicole she explained that she was planning on kissing as many frogs as she could to make sure she finds her prince. And then on their first date, they happened to pass a stand filled with stuffed frogs, so he bought her one because . he's a frog? I'm not sure he has a handle on this metaphor.
Over at Il Follettos, Folletto surprises his famigliawith a new puppy to help cheer Melissa up over the loss of Aunt Louella, because nothing takes your mind off losing a loved one like cleaning up dog urine all day, every day.
Finally, Teresa has a "wine drink" tasting/signing at some liquor store. Amber chooses to attend, because she's "never been to a signing before," which is literally the laziest excuse The Producers could come up with. Also at the wine tasting signing whatever the inferno this is, VICTORIA GOTTI, which explains why Teresa chose to wear her Cookie Monster fur to the tasting signing, sinceVictoria Gotti has already seen her Grimace fur.
Nothing fancy, just your everyday "I'm going to see Victoria Gotti" blue fur. First of all, Amber, your husband is NOT A PRACTICING ATTORNEY. But secondly, and more importantly, one does not wear a bulletproof vest around Victoria Gotti, one wears their finest Kool Aid dipped fur coat around Victoria Gotti. GET IT STRAIGHT.
So Amber and Teresa arrive at Victoria Gotti's rather disappointingly banal house where they sit around in their furs and drink Teresa's wine drink and Victori Gotti cuts to the chase: SO,replica cost of rolex oyster perpetual datejust, RINO. It turns out when Rino and Tuhressa were divorced that one time, Victoria Gotti met Rino at one of his restaurants, who care which one. The point is, he sat down with Victoria Gotti and her friends and hung out with them for a while. Fast forward a few weeks later when Victoria Gotti had heart surgery, only to wake up in ICU with this Rino cafone in her room trying to give her a Rolex watch. Of course, Victoria Gotti doesn't just accept Rolexes from your average mook she just met the week before, because she has ethics,rolex datejust replica, but she does remain amici with Rino. So, then, later, Victoria Gotti and Rino and some other amici, they're all having dinner in one of Rino's restaurants, when Rino starts telling this pazzo story about his divorce from Tuhressa and how they're never getting back together because Tuhressa can never forgive him for who he cheated on her with. Teresa and Amber and everyone in America are like, "Who, Nicole? It's Nicole, right?" And Victoria Gotti is all, "No, it was her MADRE SANTA!"
Amber and Teresa are, understandably shocked by this, and suggest that Rino was drunk? Maybe he was drunk and joking? But Victoria waves off this suggestion, claiming that Rino never gets drunk a point that I'm pretty sure was contradicted just a couple of episodes ago at the First Responder's Festa, but sure. He's a regular teetotaler, that Rino.
After explaining earnestly that she could understand if Rino slept with Nicole because TWINS!, it's a whole other thing to bring someone's madre into it, Amber flees from Victoria Gotti's house because ALL SHE NEEDS RIGHT NOW IS TO BE DRAGGED INTO ANOTHER RUMOR SCANDAL WITH THESE TWINS, MADDON'.
And then Victoria Gotti says some platitudes at Teresa about "being strong" and "jealous haters" and how she just has to "keep going" and YOUS KNOW WHAT, I DON'T CARE ABOUT ALL THAT. MORE RUMORS ABOUT RINO AND SANTA, PER FAVORE, I NEEDS DETAILS.

defendant told Detroit police after Rev
Winans,replica rolex oyster datejust, a pastor and founder of Perfecting Church in Detroit, had a bandage on his left ring finger, injured the day of the attack, as he took the stand in the courtroom of 36th District Chief Judge Pro Tem Roberta C. Archer during Monday's preliminary exam hearing.
Winans testified that a group of men had been inside the gas station when he entered to pay for fuel and two, whom he identified as defendants Young and Givens, gave each other "a nod."
Outside, he finished pumping gas and upon concluding was immediately struck by an individual below the left eye and two others joined the assault,replica oyster perpetual rolex datejust, he testified.
"After the melee, I stood, went back to the car and the car was gone," said Winans, who wore a navy suit, pink dress shirt and maroon tie in court.
The attackers took cash, a Rolex watch and Winans' 2012 2012 Infiniti QX56, which police later recovered and returned.
"I was trying to make some money because bills were due," 16 year Detroit Police Officer Dana Russell testified that Moorehead told her during a May 19 interrogation.
According to Russell, Moorehead told her he "knew it was wrong and bold" but took $60 from Winans after the assault.
"Once he got to talking about Jesus, I just ran,replica oyster perpetual datejust," Moorehead said, according to the interrogation statement read by Russell.
Givens told Russell during a previous interrogation, she testified, that Given's brother said him "we've got a lick afoot" and asked him to attack Winans.

Young told 14 year Detroit Police Officer Anthony Fletcher that he frequently sells weed at the Citgo station, located at Linwood and West Davison,replica rolex datejust oyster, but didn't pay attention to Winans when he entered the store "because he didn't look like he smoked weed."
Fletcher testified that Young told him during a May 19 interrogation that he joined the attack outside because, "I got robbed the day before and I had anger on my chest."

King without a Crown
Garry Kasparov is a king without a crown and now he wants his crown back. Kasparov, 38, is the hirsute, eloquent (he speaks 15 languages) brooding genius who dominated chess for 15 years before losing his world title to Vladimir Kramnik, a former pupil, at the Riverside Studios in London, last autumn. Kasparov remains the world number one, but speaking at the Home House Hotel at Portman Square, London, it is clear that the loss of his crown haunts him, along with a growing bitterness towards Kramnik, who is now seeking to avoid a rematch.
"It is the duty of the world champion to defend his title against the most dangerous opponent," Kasparov says. "Kramnik must prove to the world he is 'real' by facing me."
Kasparov is arguably the best player in the history of the game. Nicknamed "the Beast of Baku",fake rolex datejust 2, the stockily built, bushy eyebrowed Kasparov scaled chess's greasy pole fast and has stayed at the top, thanks to a combination of often chaotic but invariably outstanding aggression at the board and a repertoire of psychological tactics that are as alarming for his opponents to endure as they are amusing for spectators to watch.
Kasparov now lives in the United States with his wife and young son, but was born in Baku, Azerbaidzhan in 1963. He learned to play chess from his father, who died in a road accident when Garry was seven. He was Soviet champion at 18 and in 1984, aged 21,fake rolex oyster perpetual datejust, he challenged Anatoly Karpov for the World Championship, at the Hall of Columns in Moscow. It was to be one of the most infamous chess matches in history. It went on for six months and eventually had to be abandoned when Karpov, who had lost 20lb since the beginning of the match, looked on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Florencio Campomanes, president of chess's ruling body, the Fdration Internationale des Eschecs (Fide) flew in and cancelled the match. Kasparov, furious, has never forgiven Fide since.
However, later that year Kasparov, 22, became the youngest World Champion ever. Playing in a best of 24 format, Kasparov beat Karpov 13 11. Kasparov cemented this grip on his title. He kept Karpov at bay on further occasions and in 1993, at the Savoy in London, Kasparov outclassed Britain's Nigel Short. Then, in 1995,ladies rolex datejust fake, playing Visawathan Anand in New York, Kasparov produced one of his most spectacular victories, coming back from a game down with a devastating four wins in five games spell (including two playing "away" with the disadvantgeous black pieces) to totally demoralise the normally flamboyant Indian.
When Kasparov lost his title last year, it seemed that Kramnik, a former pupil who had been on Kasparov's team when he beat Short in 1993, knew Kasparov inside out and had the "whammy" on him. Kramnik, dubbed "the Steve Davis of chess", employed a cautious approach with which the chaotic Kasparov could not deal. Kramnik awaited his chances and ruthlessly took the two that came, while Kasparov failed to break down Kramnik's variation of the Berlin defence.
"He made new discoveries and pushed chess towards new horizons," Kasparov says. "It was not the most attractive style, but that does not matter. He came up with a strategy that took me by surprise and it is important for the development of chess that I was forced to make corrections to my style. I had been winning too many tournaments. You can't learn from your wins, only your defeats. It was a very painful defeat, but I deserved it because it taught me that I needed to change. It took a long time for me to do this and I am still in the process of doing this but I am winning while learning."
To those who reckon that time has caught up with him, Kasparov, says, "Intelligence is always with us. It is more about determination, energy and passion for what you're doing. I'm still passionate, and full of energy and determined to prove that I'll be back. It is important I keep my form for the next two years because, within that period I am going to win my title back."
Since his defeat, Kasparov has been in great form, winning three major tournaments. However, the view that Kramnik had his number was reinforced when he beat Kasparov again in a 25 minute rapid play match in Zurich earlier this year. It was, therefore, a relief to Kasparov that recently, in a tournament in Kazakhstan, Kasparov turned the tables. "All my claims for a rematch and that I was the best player would have been weakened had I failed win," he says. "Kramnik should play me anyway, but my victory sent out a very important message. I finally broke down the 'Berlin Wall'."
Kasparov is now driven by his belief that Kramnik owes him a world title rematch. "I believe it is the duty of the world champion to defend his title against the most dangerous opponent. When I beat Karpov in 1985 I was forced to defend my title against him within eight months. The organisers and the public believed that Kramnik was the most dangerous opponent, so I had to play him I had no choice. Kramnik knows this and now he is champion he must prove to the world he is 'real', by facing his most dangerous opponent me.
"In the last six months I have proved I am still the world number one and I beat Kramnik recently. But now Kramnik, who was not made to win a qualifier to play me, implies that I must qualify to play him. I don't want to diminish the importance of his victory. He deserved to win. But it is Kramnik's turn to prove Kasparov didn't go mad in London. The public need another match to prove Kramnik is the real thing."
Kasparov feels handicapped by the lack of love for him within the game. "It is difficult to be world champion for 15 years and remain popular with the players you are continually beating. I've been there for too long, people hate it. Most of the other players hate me because I beat them regularly most of them have a devastatingly bad record against me."
Kasparov reckons the chess press won't back his claim for a rematch. "They are more scared of upsetting chess professionals a tiny minority rather than campaigning for what the wider world wants a rematch."
Indeed, he believes chess should be more mainstream. "Chess has to widen its audience. The image of the game needs to change from that of a gloomy, smoke filled corner of a caf where some crazy people are playing, to the one I promote of a physically fit guy who plays chess, but might also play for the local soccer team. We also need organisation. When I played Nigel Short it was at the Savoy now that's a real place. When I played Anand, it was at the World Trade Centre. Where did I play Kramnik? At the Riverside Studios a lousy place."
Watching Kasparov play is sheer theatre. Immaculately attired, his most eye catching accoutrement is the Rolex watch he takes off and places next to the board at the start of each match, pyschologically making himself at home while leaving his opponent with the impression that this is an away fixture conducted in Kasparov's sitting room.
Kasparov is no poker player. When winning he is a man possessed, when losing he looks suicidal. And it is not for nothing that Kasparov is "the Beast of Baku". Over the years, hapless opponents have been subjected to eye balling, successions of unsettling exits from the playing hall, the disturbing sight of Kasparov jumping down off the stage and pacing up and down menacingly before tearing back to the table to make an instant move after his rival had pondered for upwards of half an hour. Opponents witness Kasparov rolling up his sleeves and rubbing his hands together as he moves in for the kill, invasions of body space as Kasparov towers over the board and, worst of all, harsh, derisive, laughter from Kasparov in response to moves that evidently fail to impress him. It is all great entertainment and Kasparov knows it. "I am on stage. I have to give a performance. It is about style. I believe I have to play in style, win in style and lose in style."
The US chess legend Bobby Fischer is regarded by some as the greatest player the game has ever seen after his victory over the Russian Boris Spassky in the Icelandic capital, Reykyavik, in 1972, in a legendary match that took place at the height of the Cold War. But Fischer retired soon afterwards and his Fide rating of 2,780 is lower than Kasparov's at 2,827.
So does that make Kasparov the best chess player in history? Oblivious of his immodesty, Kasparov replies: "I don't like comparing players of different times. How can you compare Einstein and Newton they were both geniuses. Fischer was a genius, I am a genius. But on balance though there is an element of inflation in Fide's rating yes,used rolex datejust fake, I am the best ever."

Garry Kasparov is a king without a crown and now he wants his crown back. Kasparov, 38, is the hirsute, eloquent (he speaks 15 languages) brooding genius who dominated chess for 15 years before losing his world title to Vladimir Kramnik, a former pupil, at the Riverside Studios in London, last autumn. Kasparov remains the world number one, but speaking at the Home House Hotel at Portman Square, London, it is clear that the loss of his crown haunts him, along with a growing bitterness towards Kramnik, who is now seeking to avoid a rematch.
"It is the duty of the world champion to defend his title against the most dangerous opponent," Kasparov says. "Kramnik must prove to the world he is 'real' by facing me."
Kasparov is arguably the best player in the history of the game. Nicknamed "the Beast of Baku",fake rolex datejust 2, the stockily built, bushy eyebrowed Kasparov scaled chess's greasy pole fast and has stayed at the top, thanks to a combination of often chaotic but invariably outstanding aggression at the board and a repertoire of psychological tactics that are as alarming for his opponents to endure as they are amusing for spectators to watch.
Kasparov now lives in the United States with his wife and young son, but was born in Baku, Azerbaidzhan in 1963. He learned to play chess from his father, who died in a road accident when Garry was seven. He was Soviet champion at 18 and in 1984, aged 21,fake rolex oyster perpetual datejust, he challenged Anatoly Karpov for the World Championship, at the Hall of Columns in Moscow. It was to be one of the most infamous chess matches in history. It went on for six months and eventually had to be abandoned when Karpov, who had lost 20lb since the beginning of the match, looked on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Florencio Campomanes, president of chess's ruling body, the Fdration Internationale des Eschecs (Fide) flew in and cancelled the match. Kasparov, furious, has never forgiven Fide since.
However, later that year Kasparov, 22, became the youngest World Champion ever. Playing in a best of 24 format, Kasparov beat Karpov 13 11. Kasparov cemented this grip on his title. He kept Karpov at bay on further occasions and in 1993, at the Savoy in London, Kasparov outclassed Britain's Nigel Short. Then, in 1995,ladies rolex datejust fake, playing Visawathan Anand in New York, Kasparov produced one of his most spectacular victories, coming back from a game down with a devastating four wins in five games spell (including two playing "away" with the disadvantgeous black pieces) to totally demoralise the normally flamboyant Indian.
When Kasparov lost his title last year, it seemed that Kramnik, a former pupil who had been on Kasparov's team when he beat Short in 1993, knew Kasparov inside out and had the "whammy" on him. Kramnik, dubbed "the Steve Davis of chess", employed a cautious approach with which the chaotic Kasparov could not deal. Kramnik awaited his chances and ruthlessly took the two that came, while Kasparov failed to break down Kramnik's variation of the Berlin defence.
"He made new discoveries and pushed chess towards new horizons," Kasparov says. "It was not the most attractive style, but that does not matter. He came up with a strategy that took me by surprise and it is important for the development of chess that I was forced to make corrections to my style. I had been winning too many tournaments. You can't learn from your wins, only your defeats. It was a very painful defeat, but I deserved it because it taught me that I needed to change. It took a long time for me to do this and I am still in the process of doing this but I am winning while learning."
To those who reckon that time has caught up with him, Kasparov, says, "Intelligence is always with us. It is more about determination, energy and passion for what you're doing. I'm still passionate, and full of energy and determined to prove that I'll be back. It is important I keep my form for the next two years because, within that period I am going to win my title back."
Since his defeat, Kasparov has been in great form, winning three major tournaments. However, the view that Kramnik had his number was reinforced when he beat Kasparov again in a 25 minute rapid play match in Zurich earlier this year. It was, therefore, a relief to Kasparov that recently, in a tournament in Kazakhstan, Kasparov turned the tables. "All my claims for a rematch and that I was the best player would have been weakened had I failed win," he says. "Kramnik should play me anyway, but my victory sent out a very important message. I finally broke down the 'Berlin Wall'."
Kasparov is now driven by his belief that Kramnik owes him a world title rematch. "I believe it is the duty of the world champion to defend his title against the most dangerous opponent. When I beat Karpov in 1985 I was forced to defend my title against him within eight months. The organisers and the public believed that Kramnik was the most dangerous opponent, so I had to play him I had no choice. Kramnik knows this and now he is champion he must prove to the world he is 'real', by facing his most dangerous opponent me.
"In the last six months I have proved I am still the world number one and I beat Kramnik recently. But now Kramnik, who was not made to win a qualifier to play me, implies that I must qualify to play him. I don't want to diminish the importance of his victory. He deserved to win. But it is Kramnik's turn to prove Kasparov didn't go mad in London. The public need another match to prove Kramnik is the real thing."
Kasparov feels handicapped by the lack of love for him within the game. "It is difficult to be world champion for 15 years and remain popular with the players you are continually beating. I've been there for too long, people hate it. Most of the other players hate me because I beat them regularly most of them have a devastatingly bad record against me."
Kasparov reckons the chess press won't back his claim for a rematch. "They are more scared of upsetting chess professionals a tiny minority rather than campaigning for what the wider world wants a rematch."
Indeed, he believes chess should be more mainstream. "Chess has to widen its audience. The image of the game needs to change from that of a gloomy, smoke filled corner of a caf where some crazy people are playing, to the one I promote of a physically fit guy who plays chess, but might also play for the local soccer team. We also need organisation. When I played Nigel Short it was at the Savoy now that's a real place. When I played Anand, it was at the World Trade Centre. Where did I play Kramnik? At the Riverside Studios a lousy place."
Watching Kasparov play is sheer theatre. Immaculately attired, his most eye catching accoutrement is the Rolex watch he takes off and places next to the board at the start of each match, pyschologically making himself at home while leaving his opponent with the impression that this is an away fixture conducted in Kasparov's sitting room.
Kasparov is no poker player. When winning he is a man possessed, when losing he looks suicidal. And it is not for nothing that Kasparov is "the Beast of Baku". Over the years, hapless opponents have been subjected to eye balling, successions of unsettling exits from the playing hall, the disturbing sight of Kasparov jumping down off the stage and pacing up and down menacingly before tearing back to the table to make an instant move after his rival had pondered for upwards of half an hour. Opponents witness Kasparov rolling up his sleeves and rubbing his hands together as he moves in for the kill, invasions of body space as Kasparov towers over the board and, worst of all, harsh, derisive, laughter from Kasparov in response to moves that evidently fail to impress him. It is all great entertainment and Kasparov knows it. "I am on stage. I have to give a performance. It is about style. I believe I have to play in style, win in style and lose in style."

Rivkin tells court how homosexual claims hurt him
High profile financier Rene Rivkin was the victim of the popular Sydney pastime of scurrilous gossip, the Supreme Court heard on the first day of a defamation damages hearing against Channel 7.
"It's cafe tittle tattle for years this city has been bedevilled by rumours about prominent people . all of which have been found to be false," Mr Rivkin's counsel, Bruce McClintock, SC, said.
Four years after the Witness program into the 1995 death of model Caroline Byrne whose boyfriend, Gordon Wood, was employed by Mr Rivkin as a "gopher" Mr Rivkin had his day in the witness box.
A jury last year dismissed Mr Rivkin's claim that the now defunct Witness program implied he was involved with her death. But the jury agreed that he had been defamed by the implication that Mr Rivkin, who was regarded by Mr Wood as a father figure, had lavished gifts on the much younger man and had homosexual sex.
Mr McClintock said the sting for Witness was the allegation that Ms Byrne had put Mr Wood under surveillance, and on the day of her death "caught" the two men having sex. Mr Rivkin said the sex accusation was "terribly false", and offered $1 million if anyone could produce the supposed surveillance material which he knew could not exist. He denied any involvement in Ms Byrne's death. Mr Rivkin said he had given Mr Wood clothes, but said he had a "guilt complex" about shopping and bought clothes for "hundreds" of people. The same applied to the gift of a Rolex watch. He said after he sacked Mr Wood, he let him to keep a Suzuki car. He said he financed Mr Wood and Ms Byrne's Potts Point flat after her father backed out of funding their deposit. However,rolex oyster datejust perpetual replica, he insisted on being mortgagor on the title,fake rolex datejust, and ended up being mortgagor in possession. He said no repayments were made to him.
Mr Rivkin said it was impossible to describe how much hurt he felt by the homosexual sex imputation the entire story and its implications had been "disgusting". However,fake oyster datejust rolex, acting judge Gerald Cripps ruled that he had to restrict his answers to the single defamation finding of the jury.
One of his five children, Damien, said stories in the media after the coroner's inquest had left his father withdrawn, upset and depressed. He said his father had taken to staying in bed a lot.
Mr Rivkin said he watched the Witness program in his kitchen. "I felt I was being led to the gallows. It's a feeling you'd have if you were going to be executed,fake oyster perpetual datejust rolex."
He felt betrayed by the presenter, Paul Barry, who he had entertained on his luxury cruiser. He was outraged that "someone who had been subject to my hospitality could come up with so many lies."
He agreed that before the Channel 7 program, and others in the Herald over which he had unsuccessfully sued, he had been a "media nymphomaniac". But he had changed his mind about the media. "Only a fool wouldn't have," he said.
Channel 7 has countered that it had qualified privilege and broadcast the story in the public interest, and that it was published in circumstances where Mr Rivkin was unlikely to suffer harm. The case continues.

Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen McDonnell, charging them with wire fraud, "conspiracy to obtain property under color of official right," "false statements,van cleef and arpels clover fake necklace," (lying), all of this basically what the government says was a ploy to get lots of perks, jewelry, trips and clothing, among other things, from the then chief executive of a dietary supplement firm.
So why is a car column telling you all this? Because one of the key perks involved a weekend's use of a Ferrari. Not a Corvette, or a Maserati or even an Aston Martin, but a Ferrari, a real honest to God Ferrari, and that gives us license to parade before the readers of Topdown a tale of official greed, ethics gone awry my kingdom for a Rolex, or, for that matter, a Ferrari.
The basics of the story are that while McDonnell was the Republican governor of Virginia (January 2010 to January 2014) he and wife Maureen bent over backwards to help promote the fortunes of Star Scientific and its chief executive, named in the indictment only as "JW" (since identified in numerous press accounts as Jonnie R. Williams Sr.) Williams has not been charged, and is cooperating with the government. The indictment says Williams provided the financially strapped McDonnells with loans, expensive outings to exclusive golf courses, catering costs for their daughter's wedding, a Rolex watch for the Governor and other benefits. District Court in Richmond, Va., today Jan. 24, 2014. They pleaded not guilty and were released on their own recognizance. Trial is scheduled to start in late July. More details on the case in this Daily Beast post.)
In December 2009, the indictment says, Maureen McDonnell told one of her husband's staffers that she needed a designer dress for the upcoming inauguration and that Williams said he would buy it for her. The staff member clearly somebody who had an inkling of the sordid future of this mess advised her not to do this. She emailed him thusly: "I need to talk to you about Inaugural clothing budget. I need answers and Bob is screaming about the thousands I'm charging up in credit card debt. We are broke,van cleef arpels alhambra fake necklace, have an unconscionable amount of credit card debt already, and this Inaugural is killing us!! I need answers and I need help,van cleef and arpels clover knock off necklace, and I need to get this done." That kind of gives you the tone. Given the staffer's warning, however, Maureen decided to hold off on the dress. For the moment.
More than a year later, in April 2011, Maureen McDonnell contacted Williams and said, hey, I need to go dress shopping in New York; Bob's got a political dinner coming up. (That's our paraphrase of sections 23 and 24 of the indictment.) So she and Williams shopped, and Williams "paid for the entire luxury shopping trip for Maureen McDonnell and spent approximately $10,999 at Oscar de la Renta, approximately $5,685 at Louis Vuitton and approximately $2,604 at Bergdorf Goodman," according to the indictment. The quid pro was that Williams got to sit next to the Governor at a political dinner that night.
The Ferrari. In July of 2011, the indictment reads, the McDonnells and their family "enjoyed a private vacation at JW's multimillion dollar vacation home on Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia. Maureen McDonnell had previously called JW to ask whether JW's Ferrari would be at the house for Robert McDonnell's use. JW arranged to have a Star Scientific employee transport the Ferrari from Richmond (Va.) to his Smith Mountain Lake house so the defendants could use the Ferrari during their vacation." (Williams also rented a boat for the McDonnells while they were up at the lake.) Maureen later sent an e mail to Williams with a photo showing her husband driving the Ferrari. Other than saying it was a Ferrari, the indictment had no further description of the car. Department of Justice for a few more details on the captive Ferrari this is a car blog, after all but a Department of Justice spokesman said the government is "limited to the information contained in public court documents" and cannot "provide more detail than that at this time."
However, we did find an auto industry source who knew about the car. The source, who declined to be publicly identified, said it was a white 2011 Ferrari California. That's Ferrari's first retractable hardtop convertible. It retailed for $192,000 when new and sports a 4.3 liter V8 engine with 453 horsepower. It has a top speed of about 193 miles per hour and we wonder if the Governor got anywhere near that.
We mention all this because the McDonnell case really is interesting, kind of a foray into the netherworld of desperation and greed. Whereas Gov. Christie is embroiled in a classic New Jersey political scandal "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee" so far there hasn't been any evidence of quid pro quo money for influence. It's more of a tit for tat vendetta you, the mayor of Fort Lee, didn't endorse the Governor for re election; you're in for some payback.
In the McDonnell matter, by contrast, we have what the government says is pretty naked avarice,van cleef arpels fake alhambra necklace, particularly on the part of Gov. McDonnell's wife. If you start totting up all the favors Williams allegedly did for the McDonnells, however, you begin to wonder what the payoff was. What with the plane trips and the loans and dresses and the Rolex and the catering fees and everything else, you wonder: what did Star Scientific get out of all this? Any material gain for the company?
But we do like the image of the Governor's wife baldly asking her benefactor to get that Ferrari up to the lake so Bob had something worthy to drive. Chutzpah has its own rewards.
