The extravagant expense—and the fact that it was not disclosed by McDonnell as a gift—has raised eyebrows. Gifts to elected officials are permitted in Virginia,as long as those worth over $50 are disclosed,but gifts from relatives or "personal friends" need not be reported. Williams may be a friend of the governor’s,
marc by marc jacobs tote,but he’s also a donor.McDonnell’s spokesman told?The Washington Post?that paying for the party food was a wedding gift to McDonnell’s daughter and her husband—not to the governor—and therefore need not be disclosed.

So far,over 10,000 people have volunteered for the organization. Many of them do so for the job training the company offers to people interested in getting involved with the solar industry. Grid Alternatives trains people with the skills they would need to get started as a technician or solar panel installer,a typical entry-level position for paying solar jobs. "We are the teaching hospital of solar," Mackie said. "This is the place where people can really learn how to install a system—to really be able to get that first job you have to already have done something and been on a roof and install a system."Many of the volunteers at Grid Alternatives have been hired full time by solar companies.

Or maybe,just maybe,he will zing the president on a white-hot issue dominating every waking moment for,um,some voters. In er,uh,northern Virginia. A few of them at least. The issue? Lyme disease.Yes,Lyme disease. While others are too weak to go there,Mitt is willing to roll up his sleeves and go after those ticks and deer and the entire damned reproductive cycle ofBorrelia burgdorferi,the bacterial spirochete that causes the disease. He’s not afraid. But what about Obama? Is he for the ticks or is he—perhaps—soft on them,or worse yet,a tick sympathizer?Surely there are reasons for the Romney camp to go so deep on something so shallow—a poll someone somewhere did that showed a little bump in Mitt-thusiasm around the issue from soccer Moms or NASCAR dads or exurb SUV'er Millennials,or maybe the coveted antibiotic-seeking vote.
A deep stand-alone sink,black-tiled shower,and teak stool transform the bathroom into a Zen oasis. Priority reservations at the restaurant are just one of the perks for hotel guests.

Ibrahim vaulted to the forefront of a movement generated in large part by social media,which thrives on emotion and spontaneity.?According to administration sources,she had apparently tried to delete some posts over time,but poisonous tweets live on in this world of mirrors and in the end,she is a product of the culture that created her. Back in Egypt,she is being lionized for standing up to the State Department. I suspect that returning home with an award from the infidels would have been a lot more problematic.What I will remember about her,though,is the elegant silver and black head covering she wore,her earnest expression and youthful face,and her disappointment in the U.S.
