This site is comparable to gucci.com and is actually a triple Website, not just one but three sites in one. A Flash movie done by hand, an information site and a catalogue.
We told Abraham he is asking for a site worth over $100,000 and he told us "Don't do this to me . . . I told you I am giving you a contract for $150,000 for a friend". He did nothing of the sort, in fact when we demanded that he pay for the additional work he asked for he said he understood it would cost more than what he paid which was according to him $21,500. We have it as less.
In any event anyone that understands IT would know that a site such as http://184.108.40.206/ is worth well in excess of $100,000. Now on top of stealing the work, he called our Delhi offices to demand that we give him the source code for free if we wanted him to delete the nasty message he posted to ruin our good reputation on his now defunct site at www.preciousgemresources.com. That is extortion.
Extortion is a criminal offense, which occurs when a person obtains money, behaviour, or other goods or services from another by wrongfully threatening or inflicting harm to this person, reputation, or property. Euphemistically, refraining from doing harm is sometimes called protection. Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups.
Now we asked him to remove that sign, so he called India and spoke with Raj Lonsane and told him that I am a pimp, and that he is just an Indian. Abraham was born in Afghanistan so I think calling someone from India names is pathetic.
He stated that since the work was done in India he did not want me as a sales agent in the US to earn any commission. Abraham came to my home office and spent three hours here telling me (along with his son in tow) that he wanted certain work to be done. The next day I sent him an email and he did not protest to the work we understood was what he wanted.
After we completed that work he wrote again to demand that we tear it down and rebuild from scratch.
Please contact me about this it is really hurting our company badly since he did not even pay for the cost of our work. This guy happens to be my brother-in-law and I never knew he was an evil person. I guess that true evil (as in the movies) is not easily spotted because people like him put on a great show of kindness -- until you get close to them.
Take a look at the work we do for our clients. Our platform is ahead of any other in America today, in terms of automation, order management and functionality.
Our motto is Easy to own + Easy to learn + Easy to earn.

AUTHOR: Richard - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, August 22, 2012POSTED: Wednesday, August 22, 2012
As if his crookedness in business were not enough, Jack S.D. Abraham went into my Father's home and robbed artwork, money and other personal effects visiting the place with his lackeys to rob the dead.
He knew full well that the Surrogates' Court had issued a Letter of Administration to me. Neither he nor his wife Nora Abraham are moral characters. They pose as religious Jews when in fact they hide behind their money and fake religion to take advantage of vendors and others.
He also donates enough to the best rabbis money can buy at the Vaad haRabbonim of Queens another organization that is a disgrace to Jews all over the world. So nobody can touch him. Except those that fly the banner of truth.

Despite attempts to make peach with Jack Abraham of Precious Gem Resources he refuses to honor his word
AUTHOR: Richard - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, August 12, 2007POSTED: Sunday, August 12, 2007
Abraham of Precious Gem Resources further refused to even permit New York to have new prospects review the work product done at preciousgemresources.com which features copyright materials used without permission.
In other words not only did Abraham not pay for the product he exacted from us and our third party vendor, but he went to the vendor doing an end run. He further told that Indian vendor Abraham would give them direct access to referrals and particularly the 150,000 dollar 'contract' nobody on our side ever saw AS LONG AS INDIA DID NOT LET NEW YORK KNOW THAT THE DEAL WAS GOING THROUGH!
Precious Gem Resources at refuses to allow New York to even show off the unpaid work product to secure new clients on top of calling India and stating that the principal in New York is nothing but a pimp (sales person) and that he does not want the pimp in New York to make a penny off any dealings. This in spite of the fact that such pimp is Abraham's own brother in law.
Abraham is an angry dictatorial little man who lords it over others and whose family has questionable antecedents as to where their fabulous fortunes originated from. Coming from Afghanistan, the armpit of the Planet these folks come here and rule over the jewelry and gemstone business. Where did all that wealth come from? Could it be that the only product in a nation where people are 70% illiterate (90% for women) and they earn 2 dollars per week is opium?
Money is G*d on this Planet filled with animalistic inhuman creatures?
One last thing... after his brother in law's mother became ill with a stroke, Abraham and his wife placed the mother of the wife (New York's mother) in an old age home and made sure the brother was not allowed to ask any questions of anyone. They put their names only on the authorized next of kin documentation. Later when the brother of the wife and son of the ill woman told Abraham and his wife Nora to remove the mother from that East Elmhurst Extended Care facility because the brother learned it was not a good or safe place... they refused to entertain the brother's request. The mother passed away about a week later or so.
In addition the father of Abraham's wife and New York guy has not been home for days and New York guy has not even had the courtesy of a phone call from these two racist people.
These two fail to realize that Abraham is not white and they heaped abuse on the brother (New York guy) for marrying a beautiful Black woman who converted to Judaism. Nora the sister told her brother after he questioned why he was not at the dais of Nora's son's circumcision (bris) that she put the brother and his wife near the kitchen in the darkest area of the synagogue rented hall for the event -- because she did not want her daughters to think it is okay to bring a Black man home!
Nora was told that Moses himself married a Midianite (Cushi) woman who was black, that Jack Abraham is Black and that she is living an ignorant lie by judging people by their envelope instead of the letter within it as it were.
Money Money Money Money... Those who have it don't realize most of their dirty kind will rot in hell for an extra month due to the evil they perpetrate and ignorance they promulgate.
Don't forget that rabbis are bought by the wealthy to issue legal decisions in the wealthy person's favor day in and day out...

Corporate Advocacy Program™
When my antivirus software (and some customers' software) started sounding malware alarms when going to my site, I immediately searched for a malware removal company and ended up talking to Sitelock.com. Based on their website (what else do we have to go on?) Sitelock.com seemed to be legitimate and I entered a phone/email dialogue with one of their representatives.
Should have moved on when I received an email urging me to call her back because "I have the quote ready and I got a very good discount approved for you," followed by an email "I just talked to my manager and he had authorized the following offer for you" ... which came to "only $1,298/yr." Cleaning up the current issue was $450; the rest involved "hardening" and "maintenance," which she assured me "will save me $400/yr."
When I balked at this, the price suddenly became $250 to clean the site and $149 for a one-time hardening. I was sent a list of 10 wonderful things they were going to do for me to protect against future infections. When I specifically wrote asking if Sitelock would guarantee that their work would prevent future infections, her written answer was "yes." (In a later email, she slipped in the carefully worded statement that "it would block up to 90% of the attacks out there.")
Since I was getting no sales at all at the site because of the malware problem, I accepted.
I then began receiving urgent emails and phone calls from my representative about their SEO service, which I declined.
I paid them to begin on 11/22/11. Several weeks later, in January, my site was being flooded with malware warnings from my own antivirus software, and previous customers were writing to tell me about worms and viruses at my site.
Then the "fun" began. Many emails marked URGENT, HELP, etc. went unanswered. Phone calls to my representative were not returned. I re-sent the pleas for Sitelock to remove the new attacks and bonor their warranty directly to their "support engineers" and to the man the operator told me was the manager.
I then asked their operator if she would ask my rep to respond to my increasingly frantic requests. I was told that D, my representative, was in Germany. I began asking the operator to speak to the manager on the phone. Mysteriously, he was always "not in yet," or "just left." To this date the phantom manager has not called or responded to my emails entreaties.
Once, in the middle of the night, I was able to reach the night man on the technical support desk. He was very nice and seemed ready to help, as soon as we got the "price" issue resolved!
Finally I got in touch with another sales representative who decided to help me. She offered to waive their usual $69 diagnostic fee, and got me a special price on a "cleaning": $236. When I explained that I'd paid $399 less than 2 months ago, had a "guarantee," and have had 0 sales since I began contacting them about the malware crises, there was silence at the other end of the phone.
I lost the $399 I paid them, The $200 I then paid a reputable company to fix the site, and $4,000 based on my previous daily sales during the time spent pleading for them to do what I already paid for. Save your money! Sitelock is a rip-off.

How to Take a Newborn to the Beachmelissaejordan
I recently shared a list of 5 essentials for taking little ones to the beach here on the blog – but this week we conquered taking our 5 week old to the seashore. The needs of a 6 month old and a newborn are vastly different and it took some extra planning and considerations to ensure that our son stayed comfortable and protected while we enjoyed our time on the beach. I worried about everything from keeping him completely out of the sun, to protecting him from sand and heat. We enjoyed a week of taking Arlo out on the beach and these tricks helped us make his time and ours more enjoyable.
A Covered Beach Shelter with a Floor 1 of 5A good beach shade is a must. Look for one that has a floor to it to protect the baby from sand. While a beach umbrella works great to protect adults from the sun, an open sided beach shade like the one we used this week is better suited to keeping infants sun and sand free on the beach.
A Battery Operated Fan 2 of 5Even with a nice ocean breeze, it was hard to escape the 95 degree temperatures on the Carolina coast. A $10 battery operated fan helped keep Arlo nice and cool.
A Boppy Pillow 3 of 5We debated bringing several different items for Arlo to rest in on the beach but finally settled on his boppy pillow. It was lightweight and easy to carry onto the beach and provided him with enough support to keep him elevated but cool.
Baby Powder 4 of 5If your little one does happen to get sandy, a little dusting of baby powder can quickly remove any sandy without rubbing. Infant skin is so sensitive and even brushing sand away can cause a rash. It's amazing how easily baby powder can remedy this!
Muslin swaddling blankets 5 of 5These are great for several reasons - They provide a lightweight, breathable cover over a carseat if you are transporting the baby from the car to the beach in their carrier. They also work great draped over the boppy pillow as a lightweight "hammock" and if baby does get hot, pouring a bottle of water over one and laying baby on it can help them cool down quickly

Newfane seeks guidance before replacing bridges
NEWFANE Newfane officials are planning to meet with representatives of Vermont Emergency Management and the Agency of Natural Resources to get advice before issuing contracts to replace two bridges that were destroyed by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene.
Work has been delayed on the Hunter Brook Bridge and Lynch Bridge projects because town officials are unsure how much the Federal Emergency Management Agency will contribute to the construction costs.
Newfane officials said they have found themselves having to navigate what they believe are sometimes conflicting state and federal guidelines over some technical aspects of the project.
The town is constantly caught between a rock and a hard place on this, said Select Board Chairman Jon Mack. We dont know, at the end of the day, whether were going to get the necessary approvals.
Both bridges were destroyed by Irene. A temporary bridge has been installed over Hunter Brook.
Local officials have the same concerns over the Lynch Bridge project, which has not yet been designed.
The town has a design for a new, permanent Hunter Brook span, but its larger than the original, and the board has delayed awarding a construction contract because of funding concerns, the Brattleboro Reformer reported.
The Select Board delayed opening bids to build a permanent replacement for the Hunter Brook Bridge until May 16. The board plans to meet state officials May 3.
Theres a lot of determination to have a plan in place, said Select Board member Christine Druke.

Caluquembe — At least 35,000 tons of various agricultural products were harvested during the growing season of 2013/2014 in the municipality of Caluquembe, 195 kilometers off Lubango city, southern Huila province.
The information was released to ANGOP, on Friday in this district, by the head of the Agriculture sector, Simão Boaventura Chikipita, who said that products such as corn, sorghum, millet and various vegetables were harvested.
He explained that it was predicted to harvest above 40,000 tons, but due to poor rainfall which occurred in the locality, it was only possible to take 35,000 tons.
According to Simão Boaventura Chikipita, the 65,000 peasant families who participated in the 2013/2014 agricultural campaign, received 40 tons of seeds, and equal amount of fertilizers and 5000 head of cattle for animal traction.
With an estimated population of 220,000 inhabitants, the municipality of Caluquembe has three communes, namely, Negola, Headquarters and Calepi.

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
9/12/2011 (4 years ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Is "SpongeBob Squarepants," a "very popular fantastical cartoon about an animated sponge that lives under the sea," as described by researchers, bad for your children? The fast-paced cartoon series has been known to grate on the nerves of parents, but now psychologists now say that the cartoon appears to dampen preschoolers brain power.
"Connecting fast-paced television viewing to deficits in executive function ... has profound impacts for children's cognitive and social development that need to be considered and reacted to," researchers said about "SpongeBob Squarepants."
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
9/12/2011 (4 years ago)
Published in TV
Keywords: SpongeBob Squarepants, concentration skills, children, cartoon
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Both Angeline Lillard and Jennifer Peterson, both of the University of Virginia's department of psychology, conducted a series of tests to see if the cartoon had a detrimental effect on children's attention, working memory, problem solving and delay of gratification -- skills that are important with success in school.
While television's negative effect on executive function over the long term has been established - in particular shows that are hyper-edited, extremely fast-paced and are loud -- less is known about its immediate effects.
In the study, Lillard and Peterson assigned 60 4-year-olds to three groups: one that watched nine minutes of "SpongeBob;" one that watched nine minutes of slower-paced programming from a PBS show "about a typical U.S. preschool-aged boy;" and a third group that was told to draw for nine minutes with markers and crayons.
After their viewing and drawing tasks were complete, the children were asked to perform four tests to assess executive function.
The kids who watched nine minutes of the frenetic high jinks of the "animated sponge" scored significantly worse than the other kids.
"Connecting fast-paced television viewing to deficits in executive function ... has profound impacts for children's cognitive and social development that need to be considered and reacted to," University of Washington pediatrics professor Dr. Dimitri A. Christakis wrote.
There are dissenting voices to the study. Nickelodeon, the network that airs "SpongeBob SquarePants," told CNN that "having 60 non-diverse kids, who are not part of the show's targeted demo, watch 9 minutes of programming is questionable methodology. It could not possibly provide the basis for any valid findings that parents could trust."
Nickelodeon also noted that "SpongeBob" is intended to be viewed by kids ages 6 to 11 -- and not by preschoolers.
It wasn't the first time the SpongeBob character has prompted controversy. The cartoon had previously been accused of promoting homosexuality, as the series was popular with the gay community due to "secret coding." As one gay fan declared about SpongeBob, "he's not very masculine for a male character. And he's soft."
Of course, many others think the very stereotyped effort to identify SpongeBob as gay is absurd.

Every time i try to upload an image to media, i get a broken image icon. On the Homepage is the same broken image icon to see. The only time i see the real image after uploading is in the editing mode of the image. Unfortunately my Homepage is still in maintenance mode since there is nothing on it. Hence, I cannot post any links.
Has anyone else encountered that problem?
I am happy to give some more information if needed. Thanks very much for your appreciated help.

Early benchmarks of iPad 4 indicate that it really is more than twice as fast as iPad 3
Benchmarks for Apple's iPad 4 have surfaced online ahead of its launch on Friday.
Benchmarks for Apple's iPad 4 have surfaced online ahead of its launch on Friday.
Apple's lower-priced iPad Mini will significantly cannibalize sales of the company's full-sized iPad, with up to half of customers opting for the smaller tablet, an analyst argued today.
Microsoft's CEO Steven Ballmer has said that his company's new Surface tablet is what customers really want, and competitors such as Apple's iPad, Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire are products that you can't really use.
Taiwanese PC maker Asus saw major growth in its tablet shipments in the third quarter with the launch of Google's Nexus 7, and projects the shipments will reach at least 10 million units next year.
Microsoft's Metro environment in Windows 8 and Windows RT takes the iPad approach to apps, but is it better?
Microsoft has seen strong initial demand for its Windows 8 operating system, according to CEO Steve Ballmer.
Apple is testing iOS 6.0.1, which includes a fix for the keyboard bug, and resolves a camera flash issue, according to reports
Google on Monday announced a Nexus 4 smartphone, an updated Nexus 7 tablet with a fast cellular connection and a Nexus 10 tablet.
Telstra has announced the release of its own branded, 4G-capable Android tablet, simply called the Telstra 4G Tablet.
With Windows 8, Microsoft introduces a brand new interface that feels designed more for tablets than for laptops and desktops. We'll help you find your way around the new OS and make the most of its features.
Perhaps you're still bleary-eyed from a late night spent attempting to secure your very own iPad mini—followed by the interminable wait for it to show up on your doorstep. Worry not! Thanks to vendors filling our inboxes with announcements, we've got...
Sorry, Android fans, looks like you'll have to wait a little longer to hear more about the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10. Google has cancelled its Monday morning event in New York City because of safety concerns related to Hurricane Sandy, which is expect...
Apple's Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer has said that the company is working hard to improve the iOS 6 Maps app that was blasted by critics when it launched in September.
Apple's CEO Tim Cook has said that the company has 'learned not to worry' about cannibalising its own products, referring to the comments about how the new iPad mini will affect the sales of Apple's full-size iPads.
Apple this week unveiled its highly anticipated iPad mini, a 7.9in tablet available that will became available to pre-order today, ahead of its 2 November launch date.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Skip to comments.Obama Drops
Posted on 02/03/2011 1:00:05 PM PST by bronkburnett
When the polling numbers for Obama increased, all the media (including FOX) displayed them everywhere. Now that his polling numbers have decreased, none of them, including FOX, are covering them.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 26% of the nations voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15 (see trends).
Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the presidents performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove. (Somewhat approve is not the same as approve. Actual "approval" is less than "somewhat approve.")
Only thirty-two percent (32%) believe the U.S. is generally heading in the right direction.
Check this out and remember that GE owns NBC and its affiliates and that Jeff Immelt was just selected to head up the presidents job commission.
Obama issues global warming rules in January, gives GE an exemption.

This is the most corrupt government in the history of the USA
and the media is complicit.

When will the media ever stop its love affair with Obama and give us some unbiased reporting? Including FOX.
Fox is going to the dark side it appears.
And the mainstream media rushes to file the story...
If they make it home safe from Egypt they will...
or not...
Long-legged mack daddy bump
I'll work on the polls and the Egypt crap later. This weekend is party time - I got J-Lo in da house!
Sadly for Baraq his "feel good" SoU aftermath soon was demolished by the Egypt fiasco.
Currently Axlegrease is working on campaign ads touting
FOUR MORE YEARS of 10% unemployment and $4 gasoline.
sucking up cause bill o is going to give barak o a b_ before the super bo...plus they are the largest news and they have to be in the tank for the demos and big govt
Who are these people? I haven't found a single thing he has done that I approve of.
What a charade that will be.
The reason for not reporting is clear. It back to the old adage that news is "Man bites dog."
When 0bama's polling numbers drop, frankly, that is not news; he's so feckless it is expected! However, if his number rise "unexpectedly" that is indeed news. </sarc>
That is why America will not recover nor survive. You cannot have that large of your population that has no realization of freedom and no understanding of wealth creation and survive as a free republic.
That number pretty much stays constant and is fairly equivalent of the non-working, enabled slackers who drain America.
Hate to say it, but it isn't going to get any better with or without Obama. The fact is this is who "we" have become.
Good thing for him that he got a major
bounce from the SotU address, otherwise
his numbers would really be low.
The increase was probably an anomaly. We all know better.
-17 is going to be the "normal" for the rest of his presidency.
It will fluctuate around that, but that is the baseline.
Look at Raz' historical data chart.
You cannot have that large of your population that has no realization of freedom and no understanding of wealth creation and survive as a free republic." ____________________________________________________________
While I agree with you fully and believe the same, I am thinking that one reason it looks so bad on its face is that droves of us are finally pushing back. That's why the enemy within is squealing so.
Also, I have been hearing the word "nudge" more on the cable channels in just the past two or three days. Maybe three times. Anderson Cooper and Shepherd Smith.
Curious, considering Beck's explanation on the marxist/communist strategy of "nudge". Maybe its just brought to my attention more but I wonder.....
Follow the Obamabucks and you'll find his supporters.
Everyone is starting to see the zero for what he really is...
An incompetent version of Carter...
oooo... that's gotta hurt.
you got it...sure as hell was the last time they "got together"
you said: "I had really high hopes for this headline."
what were you expecting?
I agree.
They are all trumpeting what a 'tough' place Obama is in on this Egypt thing...None of em talking about his ignoring it for the first 4 days...and having a party with the media!!!
And telling Mubarak to get out of his own country...NOW. What a Bozo. He is insane. He has put us in a No win. Lose lose situation. And McLame is in there helping him. Whoa!
That is the million dollar question. I feel like I'm living in a communist country with government run media. It's surreal.
No it is real. Obama is a Communist and the Media is controlled by the state. They ain't got us yet though.
Pick any of the following suffix options:
1. "Birth Certificate Bomb: I'm Kenyan!"
2. "Pants, Proves To Be Hermaphrodite"
3. "Pretense: Dissolves Congress for Sake of Unity"
4. "Dead in Cabinet Meeting"
Pick any of the following suffix options:
1. "Birth Certificate Bomb: I'm Kenyan!"
2. "Pants, Proves To Be Hermaphrodite"
3. "Pretense: Dissolves Congress for Sake of Unity"
4. "Dead in Cabinet Meeting"
How about: "America decides it has had enough suffering from this affirmative action experiment."
I drop an Obama every morning.
"I drop an Obama every morning."
That sounds extremely taxing.
Don't hold our breath waiting. Even they don't think "unbiased reporting" is any of their business.
Unfortunately, I agree. Large segments of the American population have given up on freedom. It is just too strenuous for them. Millions have made the trade--freedom for nannystate security, little knowing that the cost is exorbitant and the deal irreversible.
POlls are totally useless. They ask weird questions in a way that is not possible to answer properly.
I used to be on Zogby's list and got some wild and crazy stuff from him. It's just not possible to answer in a way that refects your honest POV.
I spit on all polls and pollsters. They're just part of the State Run Media Propaganda Department.
Into the barak, which I then flush.
This is the most corrupt government in the history of the USA and the media is complicit.
I haven't either. They should be asked what has he done that they approve of.

New London — New London native Richard P. Foye, who was passed over a decade ago to serve as superintendent of the city's schools, will be named interim superintendent today, according to multiple sources.
The extended contract of Nicholas A. Fischer, the outgoing superintendent, expired Thursday.
Sources close to the decision said Foye will be named superintendent for 90 days while local and state education officials decide what will happen with Terrence P. Carter, the Chicago educator who was the pick of the Board of Education for the position. Before Carter's final confirmation, problems and discrepancies in his résumé, application and background were made public.
A lifelong resident of the city, Foye served as interim superintendent in New London after controversial Superintendent Julian Stafford abruptly departed in 2003. Foye was a candidate for the permanent job, but in January 2004, the Board of Education named Christopher Clouet to the job. Clouet was at the time superintendent of the 1,300-student Thomaston school district.
That decision led to a public outcry and a petition drive aimed at overturning the school board vote affirming Clouet and forcing the board to replace him with Foye. That effort failed, and Foye left the district for the job of headmaster/superintendent at Woodstock Academy shortly after.
He held that post until he retired in 2009.
On Wednesday, Foye declined to answer questions about whether he would be appointed New London's interim school superintendent. On Thursday, he could not be reached to comment.
But a number of people familiar with the decision-making process to find a new superintendent said Foye was recruited to temporarily fill the job.
The son of the late Bill Foye, a longtime and popular New London High School principal, Richard Foye worked in education for 35 years before retiring. He started as a history teacher in Killingly and later taught in New London. Over the years, he has served as dean of students and academic officer for curriculum and operations in New London, and principal at Griswold High School and Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School in New London.
During his retirement, he served short stints as interim superintendent of schools in Griswold and principal of Lyme-Old Lyme High School.
Carter, whom the New London school board unanimously selected as its next superintendent on June 12, has been under fire since news reports indicated that he had misrepresented himself — or allowed others to misrepresent him — as having a Ph.D. for more than five years before he completed his doctorate. In addition, Carter has twice filed for bankruptcy in the last 15 years. This week, The Day reported that sections of Carter's cover letter and application for the superintendent job in New London contain material apparently copied from other sources without attribution.
After a closed-door session in which it questioned Carter last week, the Board of Education voted unanimously to launch an independent investigation into Carter's academic record and financial background, and to defer any action on his contract until the inquiry is complete. That probe is expected to take about 30 days.

Killing spiders
Over a year ago
So I had no idea where to put this. But I was wondering. Do you guys kill spiders? Because, I can leave small spiders alone. But when they're really huge I just need them gone, and I'm afraid of them so I can't just pick them up and put them outside. So I end up killing them, and that makes me feel kind of guilty, but I can't help it that they scare me. (Also I'm one of the few guys being afraid of spiders, it's really lame xd)
Please log in to reply.
Over a year ago
I don't kill spiders. I either leave them where they are or, if I think my cat might chase them, I put them outside.
If you don't want to touch them then why not use a cup and a piece of card to catch them? Or there are other humane devices you can use to trap and release insects without having to touch them (my mum has a spider catching device on the end of a long stick so she doesn't even have to go near them).You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

NEW YORK (AP) -- ESPN will broadcast 15 Bowl Championship Series
games from 2011 to 2014. The network and the BCS announced a new four-year contract Tuesday. ESPN outbid Fox, which is in the midst of a four-year deal to televise the games.
The agreement covers the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar bowls each year and the BCS title game from 2011 to 2013. The Rose Bowl will continue to be televised on ESPN broadcast partner ABC through 2010 under a separate, previous contract.

|Rustic Citrus Almond Tart
When I got to pastry school, I expected to be handed a binder of "the best" recipes in existence. Finally I would be able to bake definitively fudgy brownies, the softest, chewiest chocolate chip cookies, and pie dough that flaked effortlessly.
|Roasted Eggplant Tomato Tart
Unfortunately, my teacher, Claire had other ideas.
"I'm not giving you my recipes!" she said, after I found out that the croissant recipe she'd given us wasn't her favorite. Instead, the recipes we received from Claire's pastry schooling several years earlier resulted in genoise that was flat as a pancake, ice cream that was overly eggy, and croissants that were hard.
|Apple Huckleberry Pie
When I specifically asked Claire for her insanely good pie dough recipe, which, she intimated, contained a secret ingredient that was not vinegar, she said solemnly, "No. Pie dough is sacred." She then added, "Some things, you have to work for."
But over the years, with inspiration from many different sources, I've learned to make beautifully flaky pie dough. It isn't exactly effortless, but after a few tries you'll be fraisage-ing and rolling out layers of dough like a pro. These few extra steps, detailed below, are well worth the lovely layers.
The science behind pie dough is this: sheets of butter layer with sheets of water and flour. When the the dough hits the oven, the butter releases steam, which elevates the layer of dough above it. The more defined layers you have, the more flaky, puffy and layered your dough is.
|Persimmon Galettes
The key to getting these layers involves leaving big chunks of cold butter in the dough that can become sheets, and creating multiple, stacked layers of these butter sheets. Additionally, keeping the dough tender ensures a finished product that will flake delicately at the touch of a fork.
|Zucchini Tomato Tart
|Apple Custard Tart
Ways to keep the dough tender are:
I like to use some whole grain flour in my dough for depth of flavor, usually spelt as it is low in gluten and full of healthy fiber and vitamins. I primarily like the flavor, but it also makes me feel a little less guilty about eating all that butter. However, using all white flour will create an even lighter and puffier dough, but it will taste more bland, in my opinion. Feel free to experiment with other flours, such as rye, barley, cornmeal, whole wheat, graham, or kamut. And this looks like a good gluten-free variation.
Below is a step by step pictorial for making the flakiest and most flavorful all-butter pie dough that I know how to make. (If you're already a pie dough making fool, skip to the recipe and short version of the instructions below.)
1) Start with good ingredients. Fresh, European-style butter with a higher fat content than the standard stuff will make the richest and most flavorful crust. Use sea salt or kosher salt, which tastes milder than harsh table salt. And be sure your flours are fresh, too.
at any point the butter starts to feel sticky, no worries – just stick
it back in the fridge for 10 minutes or so.) Use a plastic or metal bench scraper to scrape up the dough into a ball. Flatten the ball into a disc and slip in into a plastic bag to chill in the fridge. You can stop here for a pretty flaky, tender crust, or continue to the next step for the flakiest dough of all.
Flute the edge by using the thumb and forefinger of your left hand and
the thumb of your right hand to press the dough into a pretty shape. Save the scraps in case you need to patch the dough after it parbakes. (Or press them together, roll them into a rectangle, sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar, and slice them into mini cinnamon swirls. Bake these alongside the crust for a pre-pie treat.)
Congratulations, you did it!
Here are some uses for your beautiful pie dough (a.k.a. Ins-pie-ration):
Huckleberry Fig Crumble Tart
Roasted Eggplant Tomato Tart
Zucchini Tomato Tart
Flakiest All-Butter Pie Dough
With inspiration drawn from Smitten Kitchen, Martha Stewart, Baking Illustrated, and Heidi Swanson.
You can make the pie dough in a stand mixer, with a paddle attachment, on low speed if you prefer. If only making a single crust pie, keep the extra portion of dough double-wrapped in the freezer for up to a couple of months. (Defrost in the fridge overnight, then roll it out and proceed with any single-crust pie recipe.)
I haven't braved gluten-free pie dough yet, but these are two recipes that look like good ones to try.
If making a double-crust pie, stop here and consult your recipe. For a single crust pie, proceed as directed.
Fold the overhang of the crust under, and flute the crust by pressing it between the thumb of one hand and the index finger and thumb of the other hand.

Barca had watched as second-placed rivals Real Madrid put five past Levante, but with just 12 points needed from eight games to take the league crown from Madrid it appears a question of when rather than if for Vilanova's side.
An open start saw both sides threaten early on but Fabregas opened the scoring after 20 minutes, slotting past Duda Aouate after a neat through ball from Sanchez.
And Fabregas returned the favour minutes later when Sanchez tucked home the rebound after the former Arsenal midfielder had forced Aouate into a save.
Barcelona continued to look dangerous as the first half wore on, with Christian Tello providing an effective outlet for his side and giving Mallorca's on loan Aston Villa full-back Alan Hutton plenty to think about.
If the match wasn't already over it was when Fabregas netted his second and Barca's third, calmly finishing past the Mallorca keeper after another good example of exchange play with Sanchez.
Once again the routine was reversed just minutes later when Fabregas played an inch-perfect ball over the top of the Mallorca backline, allowing Sanchez to control and poke into the net.
Fabregas completed the scoring and his first ever hat-trick just a minute into the second half, showing composure in the box again to side-foot home after a clever pass by Andres Iniesta.
Mallorca found the net from a corner after 53 minutes but the linesman ruled the effort out for offside, although replays proved inconclusive.
Gerard Pique came close to adding his name to the scoresheet just after the hour mark after surging from back to front, but he nodded his header over the bar from Tello's flighted cross
Eric Abidal was introduced to the game to a rousing Camp Nou reception as the Frenchman made his first appearance for the club in a year after his battle with cancer, completing an uplifting evening for the Spanish champions-elect.

The best around backpack
I use my Ruckus everyday to and from work on my bike and traveling all over the country. I was in Seattle in March and was riding a bike everyday in the rain and I had no leaks water tight. It has a sleeve inside that hangs and it is padded so my laptop is safe. It also has a hidden front pocket on the outside of the bag and on the side of the breathable mesh where you can hang a water bladder for hydration. Simply the best.
- How accurate was the sizing? Perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. it is amazing, weatherproof and it's rubber so it's easy to clean.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? It was a solid bag

While past seasons have included a sampling of bikinis and maillots, designer Mara Hoffman hasn't had the time to develop a full swimwear collection. But this year, instead of designing her usual holiday line Hoffman turned her focus toward things she could wear on holiday.
This story first appeared in the July 7, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"I think it's more of a passion to do swim than satin dresses, for sure," said Hoffman, who launched a full collection of swim, cover-ups and beach bags for resort. "That kind of exotic tropical feeling is much stronger for me."
Hoffman hopes to capture a "traveled, Seventies Africa moment" with her eight bikinis and three five-piece styles, many of them done in exotic prints designed by Hoffman and Klee Van Schoonhoven.
Chiffon dashikis and vibrant cover-ups round out the theme. As for the suits, there's definitely a sexy tribal vibe, but Hoffman hopes she's provided enough structure and coverage via strong spandex and exacting fit to appeal to a broad customer base.
"We kept in mind everything from the young skimpy bikini girl to the woman who just had a baby and needs a little more support," she said, naming her one-pieces as a prime example of something "sexy and cute, but doesn't leave you hanging out all over the place."

Golf course to hold Katrina tournament
Published: Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 22, 2005 at 10:21 a.m.
Broadmoor Golf Links in Fletcher will have a golf tournament and silent auction Oct. 2 to benefit the American Red Cross for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Broadmoor will kick off the fund-raising campaign with a $3,000 donation and donate 100 percent of the tournament entry fees to the Red Cross.
The field is limited to the first 30 teams. The team entry fee is a minimum donation of $60 per player to the Red Cross.
The field will be flighted according to team handicap and prizes awarded during the complimentary dinner after play.
The silent auction will begin Wednesday at the clubhouse and is open to the public for bidding.
Various items from rounds of golf at local courses, weekend trips, household items, gift certificates, etc., will be up for auction. The bidding will end at the conclusion of the golf tournament Oct. 2.
"This is a project our staff feels compelled to do after seeing the devastation the people of the Gulf have suffered," said Brett Miller, managing partner. "After experiencing some damage from last year's storms, we can relate, in a much smaller way, to some of their hardships."
The club goal is to reach $15,000. If interested in playing in the tournament or donating items for the silent auction, call Brian Oliver at 687-1500.
Hearts With Hands
Hearts With Hands is continuing to provide disaster relief to areas affected by Hurricane Katrina, including locations in Ocean Springs, Hattiesburg, Wiggins, Biloxi, Gulfport and Picayune, Miss., and Slidell, La.
Relief items are being collected at Wal-Mart stores and other area locations.
Cattle farmers
N.C. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler is extending the deadline for donating supplies to aid Mississippi cattle farmers affected by Hurricane Katrina. Items will be accepted through Oct. 17.
The following items are needed: barbed wire, T-posts, T-post clips, T-post drivers, water troughs, hay rings, electric fencing supplies and solar fence chargers.
Farmers who donate supplies will be given receipts for tax purposes. Items can be dropped off at the Mountain Research Station, 265 Test Farm Road, Waynesville. For information, call (828) 456-3943.
Employees with the department's Food Distribution Division will visit each station to load tractor trailers with the donated items. The trailers will be driven to the state fairgrounds in Jackson, Miss., where the Mississippie Cattlemen's Association will distribute the supplies to affected farmers.

I ordered show tickets through ticketzoom.com for center mezzanine seating. Both during the selection process and at checkout, I verified that I had ordered center mezzanine seats. When the tickets arrived, they were for the far right mezzanine -- a worse view and seats that should have been $60 cheaper.
I called the company as soon as the tickets arrived and asked them to correct the error, but was basically told that that it was my fault for accepting the tickets, they would do nothing to fix it, and I could complain to whoever I wanted and dispute the charge if I wished but nothing would change.
It's experiences like this that make me very grateful for American Express, who genuinely care about their customers and most certainly will stand behind me and ensure that my money is refunded for these useless tickets.

Traditional explanations of Rapa Nui history invoke environmental degradation and warfare to explain the 'collapse' of the island's social and economic structure. One element in these reconstructions are the stemmed obsidian points known as mata'a, which some have envisaged as spearheads produced in the context of endemic warfare. Morphometric analysis shows, however, that mata'a were not specifically designed for interpersonal violence but were general purpose tools that may have been used for peaceful tasks such as ritual scarification. This discovery provides further evidence against the theory of the violent collapse of Rapa Nui society.

"Kowloon Side, Day and Night" Top 5 Page for this destination Kowloon by Confucius
Kowloon Travel Guide: 311 reviews and 915 photos
Every first time visitor to Hong Kong from abroad wants to find that typical street with the large concentration of Chinese character signs in order to take this kind of photo.
There are plenty of those streets in Kowloon and Confucius is confident you can do better than the one I chose for this page.
A typical cheap Kowloon breakfast consists of rice porridge (congee) and one of those elongated crullers known as "you tiao" in Mandarin Chinese.
Some people like to submerge the cruller into the bowl of congee.
The Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade extends from the Star Ferry Terminal all the way along the harbor to the Tsim Sha Tsui East hotels.
During Christmas and Chinese New Year, the view of Hong Kong Island is enhanced by the colorful lights decorating the tall buildings.
- Pros:Staying on Kowloon side is convenient if you are continuing to China by ferry
- Cons:If you stay on Hong Kong Island it's hard to go back after 01:00 because the subway closes about an hour after midnight
- In a nutshell:Kowloon is a good place to stay during your first visit to Hong Kong, next time choose Hong Kong Island.

How come ive never thought of getting a dim sum tshirt when ordering my fav lunch out(&dinner and breakfast for that matter if lucky enough to find a place with 12 hour dim sum)pointing at myself would be so much easier??
I wish I knew about the Dim Sum shirt when i visited the Ladies Market last year. I love stuff like that. I'll look for it next time. Thanks, Rob
Hi Mr Perfect Thanks for visiting my HK page... we lived in Kowloon but I don't remember many of these places! :))
I have a craving for some Dim Sum now.
we dip ours in white coffee, not in congee. : )
Never been in Bottom's Up yourself?
Love the dim sum t-shirt summary!I too bought three for $100 at Ladies Market, but no dim sum to be found anywhere! I just got the regular ones but I find everything in HK expensive compared to China! Im being spoiled up here!
Nei xiong kong gong dong wa? Fong ma go lei ;-)
A vast multitude of astounding taste sensations on this trip... but I still don't get what could be the appeal of congee... Have you bought your moon cakes yet...??
Fascinating place. We did a whirlwind tour some years back. Thanks for helping me to remember.

...do you really want to sell this device, which can cut my lovely photo in 2 parts....
I dont understand what this camara do. Catch the movement? or take two pictures in different position? If I would do this ad, I would put a little explanation about what this camara can do precisely, tec Information.
Fernando Bogado
I think the product is very high speed so it can capture things that move so fast like u stop it.
It's too hard to understand...not good enough.
This one clearer but repeat, captured picture should've been in the center of the composition and maybe other persons parts captured in the photo could have helped to make the message clearer.
The fact that so many people don't get this series just proves that it fails to fulfil the most fundamental objective of an advertisement: to communicate.
No offence to the creatives behind it, but if it were me, I'd kick myself and rethink the whole idea.
