But neither the police nor the media waited for the events to unfold before portraying them as one of the most wanted criminals of the state. The girls are actually in hiding. They are yet to reveal their side of the story. But in their bail applications moved in a city court yesterday, the girls have hinted that they had fired to save themselves from the son of an influential person, who along with his friends had been chasing them. The girls mentioned that they were students of Panjab University, Chandigarh. Yet, the police and the media have been claiming that the girls were involved in such incidents in the past. It is a different matter that no one has been able to furnish any proofto substantiate the claims. The media and the police have even circulated and printed pictures of the girls without verifying from anyone whether the photos were actually of the four girls who were involved in the shooting.
Beach House Bistro debuts with American fare; Palm Beach eateries plan ...
Cindy Rosa, who owns Hamburger Heaven, has parlayed her professional background in upscale-but-comfy dining venues (she formerly held positions at a Portsmouth, N.H., resort, for instance) into a new Palm Beach eatery that's getting plenty of buzz. The Beach House Bistro opened softly the day after Christmas, and by word of mouth alone, it's gaining a following. "We opened quietly, but that was intentional," Rosa said. "It was more important to make sure our kitchen and staff were as ready as they could be when things got busier. So we're now ready for everyone." Here's the skinny: Amid a window-filled interior with hardwood bamboo floors and muted pastel colors, the menu sports island-inspired contemporary American cuisine by Executive Chef Marc Henderson. Lunch items range from grilled shrimp spinach salad with red onion, blue cheese, diced pears and bacon vinaigrette to a jerk-grilled chicken sandwich with pineapple, sauteed onions and shoestring fries, and fish "sliders," a chef's selection of lightly tempura-fried fish.
Internet Newegg's Scrambled Cyber Monday Promotion
Newegg generally has a good reputation with the technology community. The company rose to prominence around the turn of the century for its lightning-quick FedEx Super Saver shipping and its excellent customer support. Over the past few years, the company has done much to maintain its reputation with enthusiasts and still manages to hold on to a Reseller Rating of 9.90. However, Newegg has found itself embroiled in a testy dispute over a promotion it offered on Cyber Monday. The promotion was held in conjunction than with everyone's favorite whipping boy: PayPal. On Monday, Newegg offered a promotion where customers who purchased merchandise from the site using PayPal would receive 20 percent cash back. The promotion was to start on Monday, November 26 and end on November 28. Under the terms of the promotion, Newegg stated that "The cash back payment will be deposited into your PayPal account by January 31, 2008." According to Newegg's terms and conditions for the promotion, the 20 percent cash back was limited to a maximum of $50 USD.
