It is fascinating to see why people pirate software. ZDNet had an article about just why younger people tend to pirate stuff. Reasons include financial, the thrill, and just because it's out there. The article goes on to talk about how many legal options are not as readily available or is not consistent enough to access. For example, a game is launched in Japan first, but users in the U.S.A. want to play too…as it's not legally available, they'll make there way to obtain it via illegal means. Malware whether we like it or not is coming heavily towards Mac users. Read on past the jump to find out why!
So, you just bought your first app on the Apple Mac App store! That's great! So did many other people including some malicious people. With a bounty of about $0.43 per infection (back in 2009 according to gigaom) for the infection of a single Mac with malware, that is plenty of incentive to purchase a $5 app like Angry Birds and insert malware into the program. Put that on an torrent site which uses Bit Torrent for illegal distribution and one could make a killing on the black market. Think of it this way – the return after infecting 12 Macs becomes an unlimited return on investment. We already have seen Mac malware such as OSX/iWorkS-B from illicit downloads and with the way things go, the malware will only increase. Don't be sucked into a false sense of security that Macs can't be infected. It certainly can and will usually be linked to those who decide to go the illegal route for acquisitions of their software.
Apple needs to tighten up security and it's not just an Apple issue as Apple must have the support of the software developers. The good news is that if you buy your stuff legitimately from the Appstore, there isn't anything to worry about. Sophos' website shows you just how the Angry Birds can lead to malware infection in this proof of concept example. (video demo below).
There are a number of antivirus programs available for the Mac including Sophos' free Mac anti-virus, ESET for Mac, ClamXav2, and VirusBarrierx6 to name just a few. Stay safe and go legit, or the Angry Birds might just get you….

So I have no earthly idea how to go about finding links for things by myself. I've been wanting to watch the movie "Petals on the wind"and " Rosewood " for quite a while now. It seems by comments that a few links were posted at one point in time but they are no longer there. If it's not too much trouble could someone either message me steps to go about finding links myself or else the actual link? Either would be greatly appreciated. P.S. The two only types of links that I can ever get to work for me are allmyvideos, and vodlocker2 months ago

I recently posted a blog that refers to fuzzing techniques—inparticular I spoke about finding file format vulnerabilities usingthese fuzzing techniques. Therefore, it was with no great surprise thatI greeted the announcement of the discovery of nine different fileformat vulnerabilities affecting the Apple QuickTime application.However, what did surprise me was the number of separate file formatsthat were found to be vulnerable.
In this particularannouncement the commonly known .jpg, .bmp, .avi, and .pict fileformats were found to be vulnerable, along with several other formatsthat were disclosed. Given the number of issues discovered, there is nodoubt in my mind that these were all found using file fuzzingtechniques. For a full listing of the issues that Apple has resolvedwith a patched version of QuickTime, please refer to the discussion of the security update on the Apple Web site.
Luckily in this case, the vulnerabilities were responsibly disclosedto Apple and no exploits were seen to be circulating in the wild beforethe patched version of QuickTime was made available on May 17, 2006.Indeed, there have been no reports of exploits since the patchedversion was released either, which is a little surprising sinceQuickTime is used across several different browsers and operatingsystems. With a total of nine different vulnerabilities disclosed inthe QuickTime product alone, Apple certainly had their work cut out forthem to patch every single vulnerability affecting their applications.
With Apple working under such tight time constraints, it does make mewonder if all of the vulnerabilities have been closed down completely.After all, it is not uncommon for vendors to have to patch the sameproduct several times because they missed something the first timearound (or the second time, or the third time, etc.). Let's hope thatApple got it right the first time and that we won't be seeing anotherQuickTime patch for a while. There is no doubt that file fuzzingtechniques were used to find these recent vulnerabilities involving the.jpg, .bmp, .avi, and .pict image file formats in QuickTime. AlthoughApple have released a patched version of QuickTime for all of the aboveformats and those referenced in the security article, we have to bewary of any other skeletons lurking in the QuickTime closet.

Ozzy turned 62 12/3/2010; lets not make him any older. Fan for 41 years.
Ozzy Osbourne opened the second leg of his North Ame...
Ozzy Osbourne opened the second leg of his North American on Wednesday, January 12 at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The multiple-award winning singer put 21 songs on his setlist for the evening and surprisingly they played just 16 songs and also there was no opening performance for the show. Some of the songs he performed on stage were from his old days like "Back at the Moon", "Mr. Crowley", the Oscar award winning song "I Don't Wanna Change the World" and only a new single "Let Me Hear You Scream" from his latest album "Scream".
Ozzy is on a 6 week tour in support of his album "Scream" that was released in June 2010 and his track Let Me Hear You Scream remained at number 7 of the Billboard Rock Songs for full 8 weeks. However the number of attendees on the show were just 6000 that was half less than the crowd that attended his show at the same venue on Halloween 2007. Moreover Greek guitarist Gus G replacing the Ozzy's oldest guitarist Zakk Wylde and Detroit drummer Tommy Clufetos replacing Mike Bordin also played first time with the singer.
Osbourne, 63 year old singer also known as Prince of Darkness has toured countless times but his 2011 tour is different as he has included a special homage to honor his best friend and world greatest guitarist Randy Rhoads who lost his life in an air crash in 1982 when Ozzy was on a his Diary of a Madman tour. Ozzy Osbourne 2011 tour dates include withdraws at the end of the shows and two VIP attendees will win a bottle of wine that has been named after the late guitarist. The wine served by Ozzy is D'Argenzio Winery's 2005 Randy Rhoads Cabernet Sauvignon produced by his sister as attribute to the rock star. During his six weeks of tour, the all time famous singer will be touring all the major cities of US and other countries including Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Panama, Germany, Ecuador, Norway, Poland and Denmark.
Ozzy Osbourne long life journey spread over more than 4 decades from a simple singer to Prince of Darkness spread is remarkable and inspiring. Ozzy's own son Jack Osbourne is preparing a documentary on his legendary pop star father that covers the musical journey of his father. The move titled "Wreckage of My Past" has been filmed and now in its post-production, Jack told Artisan News Service in a recent talk. The film will hit theaters sometime around this year.

Maybe If The Olympics Hadn't Monopolized All The Tail In Town, Someone Would've Had Nicer Things To Say About ItBy Bess Levin
"The Olympics are an economic failure as London is totally empty: hotels, restaurants, streets," Nouriel Roubini tweeted. "It turns out London is totally empty.

World champion rower Michael Blomquist valued the chance for an Olympics gold medal in London more than an analyst job at Morgan Stanley. He said the decision wasn't easy. "It's always going to be a difficult proposition to walk away from good money and from something that is comfortable and straightforward," Blomquist said. "I'm loving every day, but of course sometimes I do feel like I made a terrible decision. I walked away at a point where I felt like I was on an upward track at work." The 30-year-old — who won a world title with the U.S. men's eight in Japan in 2005 — quit his analyst job with Morgan Stanley in 2010 to try to get into the U.S. boat for the Olympic Games in London, which start July 27…Blomquist is based in Oakland, California. He's covering his living costs out of his savings, passing up the chance to be earning 69,850 pounds ($112,000), the average salary of a London-based analyst with two to four years of experience, according to recruitment agency Reed Global. He declined to give his salary at the bank. [Bloomberg]

Jon Corzine Will Have You Know That Each Time A Door Closes, A Bigger, More Fucking Awesome One OpensBy Bess Levin
As you may have heard, early this morning, Jon Corzine resigned from MF Global. According to the former Goldman Sachs CEO/US Senator/Governor of New Jersey, the decision to walk away from the brokerage firm was not easy to make and he remains on call to "continue to assist the company and its board in their efforts to respond to regulatory inquiries and issues related to the disposition of the firm's assets." What Corzine is doing right now, at this exact moment, remains a mystery, as does his location, which some people are none too happy about. CNBC, for example, has reporters staked out at all three of Corzine's residences (Hoboken, Manhattan, Long Island) and are vowing not to leave until he emerges to cough up some answers. While we're not yet prepared to haul him into our interrogation room and "do this the easy way or the hard way," we, too, have a few questions. Such as: Read more »

At the studio, we are busy prepping for the quilt industry's fall tradeshow. We have a few new patterns coming out, as well as new fabric collection. I cannot wait to share more! With quilts and soft goods on my mind, I am sharing some quilt inspiration today.
This charming clamshell quilt was put together by Craftbuds.com for the True Colors blog hop a while back. I love how the simple, repeating design allows for playful eclecticism with the print combination. And the finished quilt looks great with rounded corners. Shown is a mix of Lottie Da and True Colors prints, along with three solid fabrics. Craftbuds' post lists some tips for assembling a clamshell quilt of your own, including links to an 8" shell pattern and a 12" shell pattern.
I've been quite sick for the last few weeks. Feeling much better today, the first thing on my list is to visit here for a hello. I have big plans for this fall, with lots to share, including new fabrics, patterns, tutorials and tips. Expect to hear from me more regularly.
I'm popping in to let you know about a giveaway that's in the works. Gina from CampClem.com has been posting new projects made from my Lottie Da collection all week, including a fantastic little beret made from theses leftover quilt-block pieces (below).
In conjunction with her blog series, Gina is giving away a Lottie Da camera-strap cover, two Heather Bailey embroidery patterns and a collection of stationery. The Camp Clem giveaway closes this coming Sunday (9/14/14) at the end of the day, so stop by soon to enter at CampClem.com.
There are several posts in her Lottie Da series, all of which show her step-by-step process for each project:
At the studio, we're working on new patterns for this fall and prepping to share our new fashion-fabric collection, Momentum, which ships out to stores this month. I'm watching Roman Polanski's Tess (of the d'Urbervilles) from 1979 while I work today. Or rather, I'm listening to it. The film is quite good so far—you know, should you be looking for an old Jane-Austen-ish kind of film to keep you company.
I have been keeping this blog since 2006. Along the way, I've received several requests for podcast interviews. However, for one reason or another, the timing never worked out to schedule a call. Till now.
Stephanie Kendron from ModernSewciety.com caught me at just the right time. Hear my interview in EPISODE 34 of the Modern Sewciety podcast, available now. Click here to tune in from your computer or download the episode and listen on your portable device. Stephanie and I discuss my fabric-design process, how I built my current business, my patented invention, my family and a lot more.
Have a listen and comment here if you have any follow-up questions from the interview. I will check in regularly and reply.
Up Parasol projects are starting to show up all over the web. I'm excited to share many of them with you with links out to their makers. Before doing so, let's have a closer look at this new collection which is available now at independent quilt shops and online at HeatherBaileyStore.com.
Up Parasol is centered around two prints from my previous Garden District home-decor collection—Cakewalk and Mockingbird. These two designs were repeatedly requested on quilting-weight cotton, so I heeded the pleading and pinned swatches of these two on my design board to let them seep into my subconscious.
What was born of this pairing is the new Up Parasol collection. I added many all-new prints of various scales and themes, including an extremely useful pinwheel blender named Devon Check, a vintage-flavored mum print named Mum Toss, a modern little flower repeat that looks a bit like a tiny umbrella named Stella, a fresh and trendy lattice print named Trellis, an inviting Summer Plaid and another super-useful two-tone print named Lulu. Among these is my favorite new print which shows a wood-cut style bird with flowers on his wings alighting from a branch, Meadowlark.
I'm not sure if it's my favorite new print because of the finished look or because I had such a happy time creating this particular design. Again, of course, there's the mother-hen in me who believes it's just not right for me to pick any favorites.
I do really love how these prints work together. They are cheerful and buoyant while also sophisticated and chic.
I had the pleasure of creating a couple of Up Parasol quilts for the industry trade show, Quilt Market. One quilt will be out soon as a new pattern—so I'll wait just a few more days to share the details of that design. And the other is a large crazy-quilt-style design where I mixed Up Parasol with my basics collection, True Colors, as well as a couple of hand-selected solid colors for punch. This freely-pieced quilt is shown in the photo above on the turquoise quilt rack.
Crazy-Quilt How-To
Each block was started with a five-sided semi-pentagonal shape that was free-style cut with a ruler, but without set dimensions or proportions. I then pieced wedge-like strips around this center piece the way you would with a log-cabin block, trimming excess fabric from each newly-attached strip to keep the edges straight and ready for the next strip to be added.
As each block became bigger, I used a 12.5" square ruler as a guide to keep my piecing on track. Once the whole stack of blocks were made and I had arranged them into a layout, I used the same ruler to trim all blocks to a tidy 12.5" square before piecing them together.
If you can make sense of that, then you can make a crazy quilt too! Let me know if you have any questions about how to put it together and I will be sure to answer those here, or in a follow-up post.
Meanwhile, visit your local quilt or sewing shop to get your hands on these delicious Up Parasol fabrics. Or visit HeatherBaileyStore.com if you don't have a sewing hub nearby. Remember to include some True Colors and Lottie Da fabrics for an expanded variety of compatible designs, perfect for your modern quilting and crafting projects.
Pick up a copy of my Blooming Borders embroidery pattern while your at it. There is a border print included that features the same two birds shown in the Up Parasol Mockingbird print. Just imagine pairing your beautiful embroidery work with coordinated fabric in your next project—yum.
NEW Embroidery Patterns
Garden District
Introducing True Colors
What a summer.
I have been all over the place—everywhere except home.
It was refreshing and fun, but I am seriously ready to get back to real life. And that's a great feeling.
I had a design project that was about two days off of delivery when we left town. Evan's chickenpox slowed me down just enough that I had to wait till we were back to get that wrapped up. I finished the work last week, unpacked, ran around getting kids set up for the new school year, took a few deep breaths—including a hike to our favorite waterfall last Friday with friends—and now I'm back in the ring.
I've decided to have at least two Wonder Woman Days each week where I tear through my to-dos like I'm battling a horde of supervillians. I'm still debating whether this calls for a token tiara and gratuitous gauntlets to enhance my resolve or whether my invisible airplane is enough.
Yesterday was such a day. By the end of the day, my 'completed' list was five times taller than usual. Yikes. I really earned my stripes when I gathered up suit and tie for Elijah's senior yearbook photoshoot, picked him up early from his graphic-design course, shuttled him on time to his appointment across town, dressed and ready to go... and one last look-over revealed that the child had not shaved. We're talking 1/4" of growth or more—allbeit sparse—peppered all over his face. Not good.
Now, I don't shave my face. And he hardly ever does. Neither of us remembered this little detail. I was quite tempted to throw a nice little tantrum in the waiting room. This wooly diversion could set us back by hours while we waited for another opening or rescheduled for August.
I closed my eyes, took several deep breaths and it dawned on me that this was one of those bad-in-an-extra-funny-way moments I would look back on fondly one day. I gritted my teeth, then gathered my golden lasso and my shaggy son and we headed to the grocery store for supplies. He put his tee shirt back on, shaved in the restroom, re-dressed in his fancies and headed back to the photo studio to wait.
The shoot was much more involved than I expected, including shots of him in a cap and gown. Be still, my mama heart. I'm so glad he was clean-shaven. If I hadn't decided earlier to be Wonder Woman, I don't think we would have dodged that speeding bullet very well. I have so much to catch up on. Rescheduling would have been a defeat.
I was even nice about it. How about that? And I fed the hungry boy a giant's serving of Backyard Tacos to celebrate our victory.
I love that kid.
Today? Today is not a Wonder-Woman Day. It's a secret-identity day and I'm proceeding at normal speed — rebooting for another blam!-kerpow! day tomorrow.
Glad to be back.
So, here's what I made in my time off last week — teensy little embroidered necklaces for me and my close friends. Well, and for you too. We made up a few dozen kits and posted them in the online store. There's a FABRIC SALE this week — through Friday 6-13-14 at midnight MST — with 15-40% discounts on my classic fabric collections (Freshcut, Pop Garden, Nicey Jane, etc.). We're making space for new fabric collections on their way.
If you order $35 or more of fabric and other goodies, you can get one of these limited-edition embroidery kits for FREE with your purchase. Once you're done shopping, add the pattern kit to your cart, then enter the code FREETINY at checkout and the price of one pattern kit will be subtracted from your total. Details about what's in the pattern kit are listed here. All three designs are printed with heat-transferable ink and can be used multiple times to make at least a dozen stitcheries. Heat-transfer and necklace-assembly instructions included.
I'm taking eight of these kits with me to Mexico later this month so I can teach my friends and their kids how to stitch up a necklace or two while we sit under umbrellas with our toes in the sand. I think I might bring my Foredom drill too so we can drill holes in sea shells and string them together into keepsake jewelry during siesta. Eight women and girls, 11 men and boys — we are going to have a blast. These little kits are the perfect portable vacation project. I'm so excited.
What a week! Evan has chickenpox; my trusty little car is in the shop getting fit with a new harness; my Trash Ties patent needs some paperwork-love, I have a new fabric collection to deliver and another one to review. Oh! And another one to announce—shipping this week. And a big inventory-reduction sale to orchestrate. My store manager is out of town on vacation and Isaac is working a construction gig for our friend's new photo studio all week. So, he's not around either.
I'm at the hub of hubbub. It's enough to make a gal appreciate some good, old-fashioned, downtempo embroidery. Slow it down, think things through, meditate, devise a plan....then pow! Make it all happen.
My meditation is your win. Because what I came up with when taking things slowly for a day is - so - much - fun. And I'm working out a way for you to get your stitchy fingers on it for free. Just give me one or two more days to sort out the details and I promise to tell all. Consider the photo a sneak peek. And start planning your summer projects, because we are putting together a Big Ol' Summer Sale* for next week as well — making space for more good things to come.
*Sign up for the Heather Bailey newsletter for full details.
We have been busy prepping samples for my next quilting fabric collection—coming in June. My fashion-fabric collection is almost here as well. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you will have seen a number of sneak peeks last weekend during Quilt Market, the industry's trade show. Now that the business-to-business side of things is kicked off, we can start putting together some full reveals to share what I've been up to in the design department.
Before moving onto new releases, I have a little house-keeping to do. First, let me congratulate Ricky Tims and Tula Pink for winning the Bernina sewing machine face-off. And Brenda P. from Pensacola FL won the sewing machine—what a great prize—so fun!
I also have a book-giveaway winner to announce. Lisa McGriff, lucky #7, email me your address and I will have your copy of My Rag Doll sent posthaste.
"I had a Raggedy Ann doll as well, to this day I still love Raggedy Ann dolls. I would love to win this book so much!!"
- - - - - - -
Finally, watch for a MIGHTY Inventory Reduction Sale at HeatherBaileyStore.com in the next week or two. All discontinued fabrics—collector's take note—will be on sale. Start planning your summer projects now. It's time we make space for new collections on their way.
I must tell you about this gorgeous new book from Corinne Crasbercu. With beautiful photographs, classic designs, and even darling little sketches and watercolors mixed in throughout, Corinne's new book, My Rag Doll, is a visual treat. Here is just a glimpse of the bright and inviting styling in this treasure of a book.
Even the materials-list pages are pretty. Look how the fabrics, ribbons and yarns are laid out for the Red Riding Hood doll shown above.
My Rag Doll takes you through the creation of a simple doll with customizeable hair and features. You can start with a clean and tidy hairdo and let the naturalism develop over time as the doll is loved and dragged about by her human friends. Or, you can style her hair with wispies and frayed ends for a more broken-in effect—see hair-style examples above.
And there are many different clothing and shoe patterns included as well, from dungaries and a raincoat to pajamas and a kimono—and everything in between.
I have a true soft spot for rag dolls. The sweetest gifts I received as a child—and I still have most of them—were all rag dolls made by my mother. My first rag doll can be seen in my baby portrait at one year old. I was so attached to my Raggedy Ann that the only way my mom could get me to stop crying during the photo session was to hand that doll right on back to me.
My next rag-doll baby doubled as baby Jesus in our family Christmas devotional when I was four. Somewhere amongst my keepsakes there is a photo of me as Mary holding my dolly Jesus. Later, for my eighth birthday, my mom made me another doll with a matching moses basket and a change of clothes. Again, there is a photo of me somewhere with my friends all gathered on our front lawn while I tear the wrapping paper off of this beloved gift.
I have often thought about creating the quintessential rag-doll pattern book. Something to pay homage to my long-standing love for rag dolls. I envisioned an intro with these personal photos and an account of my own history making dolls, even having dolls of mine displayed at a museum. Then, a lovely book like this shows up on my doorstep—it's great to have publisher friends—and my fantasy is quite fulfilled. I don't even have to do the writing and pattern-drafting work. I can skip straight to the fun part—gathering fabrics, trims and yarn and making up a rag doll for my own daughter to drag about and love. While I might write my own doll book one day, I'm in no hurry for now. This book is lovely.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Stitch Craft Create, the publisher, has offered me a second copy of this new book to give away. To enter, leave a comment below by Friday at midnight MST. If you have a rag-doll memory, share it with us. One winner will be randomly chosen early next week. To purchase the book in advance and also immediately receive a downloadable e-book at no additional charge, click here. Or you can pre-order the book on Amazon. Blog-hop details here—psssst—there might be others giving away a copy of the book.
New artwork is on its way to the mill. I pretty much have to disappear for a while in order to make that happen. Then, spring comes: lunch dates, time to help friends who are grieving, maybe I cook a real meal here and there, even wear make-up on a no-big-deal-regular day. My personal spring couldn't come at a better time, because it's spring. And I'm needed.
It's just beautiful outside. And I'm determined to soak it in before the Arizona summer descends.
You know you want it...and you can have it too. Remember to vote EVERY DAY in the Bernina USA Faceplate Face-Off to increase your chance of winning this luxury machine. Voting ends 4-14-14, so set a reminder.
Also, if you are in Arizona this weekend, please consider joining me at the Run for Travis fundraiser in Gilbert. Travis Williams, the father of one of Charlotte's very best friends, passed away this week from a battle with cancer. Travis leaves behind a wife and four young children. He was only age 40. Proceeds go toward helping the family with medical expenses. There will be a 5k walk/run, a silent auction, food trucks. I'm excited to go help in this way.
Becky Higgins, who I worked with on a Heather Bailey Project Life kit last year, is good friends with the Williams family. She wrote a beautiful post about their longstanding relationship earlier this month, if you'd like to take a look.
Also, if you would like to help, but you're not in Gilbert, there is info on the Run for Travis facebook page on how to donate.
What a week for our community, for our family, for our Charlotte—though nothing compared with what these incredible families are facing. She and I leave for Travis' funeral after this post goes live.

An Early Look at A Scanner Darkly
There's an early positive review (based on a likely-to-change test screening) of Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly, the adaptation of Philip K. Dick's 1977 novel. The anonymous revewer said it reminded him of 12 Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

FORT WORTH — Editor's note: The original version of this report incorrectly characterized the outcome as a plea bargain. It was an agreement that resulted in dismissal of the case, without a plea.The ending to the dancing "Lady Liberty" case was almost as bizarre as the beginning.In March, Channing Dontray Gould, 20, was arrested after he was told to stop dancing in a roadway median while wearing a Statue of Liberty costume.His efforts on behalf of Liberty Tax Service, police said, were distracting the drivers. Gould, however, declined to go quietly. Three officers had to wrestle him to the ground, and he was twice shocked with a Taser.On Sept. 20, the case was dismissed after an agreement between the prosecutor and the defendant.Gould had to write "I will not argue with police officers" 50 times on a large easel in Tarrant County Criminal Court Judge Brent Carr's courtroom.Prosecutor Anna Summersett said she reached the agreement in the interest of justice."My job is to do justice," she said. "Sometimes justice is jail time, sometimes it is probation, and sometimes it is a dismissal."Efforts to reach Gould, a performing arts student at Tarrant County College, for comment were unsuccessful.
10 bizarre sentences handed down by judges
The incident began on March 11 when Fort Worth officer T.R. Greer came upon Gould dancing in the 4800 block of North Tarrant Boulevard. "Black male wearing a light-color green robe along with a foam headdress," the police report says.Greer called out to Gould several times over his patrol car's public address system, telling him to leave the median, the report says. He left his car and repeated the instruction several times.Gould shot back that he was working."This is not your jurisdiction. Get away from me," the report quotes him as saying.Greer told Gould he was under arrest for violating a city ordinance that prohibits distributing, selling or soliciting on medians and traffic islands.Gould refused to get into the patrol car, the report said. Officers took him to the ground and, when he continued to resist, Greer fired his Taser twice. Officers were finally able to handcuff Gould. He was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital for evaluation and to have the Taser probes removed.Although Gould's punishment was unusual, it's not unprecedented. In January, a Houston judge sentenced a 53-year-old man to take a yoga class after he was convicted of slapping his wife. An Indiana man had to carry a sign saying "I failed to appear for jury duty." And a Florida judge once sentenced a man charged with battery of his wife to take her bowling and to Red Lobster.

784 Tasting Notes
This one is distinctive flavour.
The smell of the dry tea is citrus. Very similar to a vitamin c chewable tablet. I was a little worried due to the disaster of when I tried the orange matcha and it was so chemical flavoured. But I ordered this one at distinctive flavour for the purpose to tone down any chemical flavour there might be.
I made this cold shaken. 1tsp for 8oz water and about a 1/4 tsp white sugar.
It turned out ok. A little lacking on the citrus flavour but it is there. I can tell it is citrus but that is about it. It is not really distinctively orange, or lemon, or lime, etc. I am getting quite a dryness in the aftertaste. I would say it is similar to what you get after you suck on a lemon slice. I think this one would have been better at a robust level but I am still so scared if that chemical taste. Sigh. Ha ha.
I will play around with parameters a little and see if I can coax out some more flavour.
I think I figured this one out. Finally, when there is just one serving left. Ha ha, that is how it always works out.
1.5 tsp for a 8 oz mug, 3-4 pieces of brown rock sugar, 190F (definitely hotter than what would be recommended for a green), 1-1.5 minutes.
That is all.
It is so cold. I know I shouldn't complain. I have lived in this darn country and province my entire life. I have made a conscious decision to continue living here. I actually quite like how we get four distinct seasons. I normally would not mind if it was this cold. But come on polar vortex, it is March 1. It is supposed to be like -5C, starting to melt a little every day.
It is currently -40C, feels like -52C. If you would like to know what that is in Fahrenheit, -40 is where the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales meet. That's right! It is -40F feels like -61.6F. WHAT?!?! I am not even going to bother going outside, not because any exposed skin will freeze in 3 seconds, or because my nostril hairs will freeze on contact to the air, but I am scared my door will break off its hinges if I open it because it is so cold.
So I am drinking this to warm up. I brewed it a little extra time today so it is nice and thick. 7 pearls for 2 minutes (I usually do just 1 minute). It is thick and bold and malty. Some hints of cocoa, but a lot of sweet dark plum flavours. It is STRONG. And I need that today.
I declare today a tea day!
Those temperatures are insane. I want to come live there for a bit just to see if I could take it.
(I would put up with a lot to get my four distinct seasons, though. I really would.)
Anna you are welcome to come and visit anytime. If you stay here for long enough you will get used to it :)
Thank you! I think Canada is awesome – I've wanted to come live there for a while since I first visited. =)
I might trade my 4 seasons for warmer weather. I could visit the seasons in other places and not have to live in the ones I don't like… :)
Thanks to CHAroma for sending this to me in a swap!! I have wanted to try this one forever, but figured I wouldn't be able to because it was limited edition over a year ago.
The tea smells quite mild and sweet. I was anticipating a bold, kick you in the butt, kind of holiday blend.
The brewed tea is a little but more than slightly sweet. It is very smooth, a little bit of malt. I have to admit, I am actually getting a little bit of chocolate taste. There is a little bit of vegetalness to the tea. More like a really dark oolong, without the roastyness. There is a slight metallic twinge to the tea which is actually pleasant.
I am finding this tea to be a little light. I thought it would be a lot more bold than it is. I will try using more tea next time. This tea is more than a year old, so even though it is in good condition, I have to take that into account.
I saying all the above, it is still a very delicious tea. Just not what I expected. Andrews and Dunham have never done me wrong :)
I am not a huge rooibos fan, but my mom gave me a little cardboard tin of this a long time ago and I actually didn't mind it. I keep it on hand for when I want a quick bag of tea. It is definitely "warming".
Well somehow I ended up with several cans of this tea. So I am trying to get rid of some of it. I even gave a few cans to a relative and still have a few left.
I would normally brew this tea quite weak, one bag for a 16 oz mug for 1 minute. But with the latest can I opened (I don't know if it is a newer or an older can), the bags seem to not have as much tea. I also need to brew two bags vs the one I used to do.
I feel like Tetley is ripping me off…hmmm… Maybe it will be easier to sip it down. Anyway, it is a basic rooibos, sweet, with some cinnamon flavour. Sweet cinnamon, not spicey. It works.
I picked this up a while ago at Winners when they were selling some Fauchon teas. The box was pretty. This is a tea I could easily drink at work. I read the box (I thought anyway) and decided to pick it up.
So I am at work, I open the first individually sealed packet and there. Is. A. Smell. Hmmmm. What is going on. I put the bag into my cup and flip over the packet to read it. Oh no! My beloved Earl Grey has been…(dramatic pause)…Darjeeled!!!!
I am no fan of Darjeeling. I don't know why. I have never ever like it. In taste and smell it reminds me of cheap cigarette ash. No matter what kind of Darjeeling I have tried, I just don't like it. I find it worse when it is in a blend because that is usually the first and only ting I can taste.
Well…proceed with tainted tasting note, I guess. Even though I don't prefer Darjeeling, I think I will be able to finish off this box of 20 tea bags. There is some bergamot in there. It is super light, all trampled and beaten up from the Darjeeling. Not as much as the package makes it out to be ("the zing of the bergamot oil…"), but it is just a work tea. I often don't even taste the teas I drink when I am at work, I just quickly gulp and move on.
Upon closer inspection of the box, it does say this is a Darjeeling Earl grey, but it is kind of buried under all of the cute graphics and fancy writing. No wonder I missed it. Damn marketing…
Darjeelage! Seriously, cute graphics and fancy writing can be so distracting. Lethal.
I'm trying to figure out how I feel about darjeeling, but I'm still on the fence.
This is one of the teas I got in my latest Nina's Tea order. (To tell the story again, I was in Florida, and Laurent and Sophie from Nina's Paris USA shipped my order to my hotel. This saved me a whole lot on shipping. Laurent stayed in contact with me the whole time until I received and was satisfied with my order). I had been wanting to try this one for a long time. It was only available in a tin but the tin is beautiful.
The dry tea is beautiful. The black tea leaves look nice, dried orange peel and bright blue and red flower petals are mixed in with the tea leaves. It smells super delicious. Like sweet candied orange peel. Almost has a bubble gum quality to the smell.
The smell of the brewed tea smells a little bit flat. Still candied orange but not as strong or as sweet and with a bit more pepper.
The brewed tea, like I find most Nina's Paris Teas, is delicious. The tea base is just bordering on bold. There is a sweet, candied orange peel flavour, it is delicate and not overpowering. There is a slight pepper from the orange rind but it is very light. It almost tastes like there is a bit of orange juice in this tea. There is a slight sweetness, I would maybe add a bit of sweetener next time I have this tea. The flower petals give a thickness to the tea with a bit of a bread-y flavour.
The sweet orange flavours become much more prominent and bright as the tea starts to cool.
I am really glad I picked this up. I would like to know if there is a story behind the flavour of this tea and the name.
I think the tins would not be so great for stacking, but they look beautiful. The one I have has the name of the tea on the front (It is a white tin with a design on it, not the red one). And the lid appears to fit tightly but not so tight that I can't get it off :) And they are so cute.
I agree. I think eventually I will collect some of the basic H&S tins for stacking, but sometimes pretty tins are nice for a few teas. :)
I believe this was a special tea they brought in for Christmas and so it has a specialty tin. I saw it when I went to their office and I think it is so pretty but I don't like citrusy teas.
I think I might pick up the Marie Antoinette in a tin because I like the pretty pink tin. Plus I have one of their baby tins and it is so cute but actually fits a fair amount of tea.
Thanks Courtney. I figured I could use a yearly avatar change. And who doesn't love the chesire cat. Even when he is creepily portrayed.
This was my 3rd order from Nina's Paris USA and I have to say I have had excellent customer service with all 3 orders.
They truly set the bar for customer service in my opinion. I went to their office in Florida and had such an amazing experience with them. It helps that their teas are delicious as well.
Great customer service tales from tea companies warm my heart, and make me wanna order all the tea LOL
Received this one from Teavivre's free tasting activity.
This one is an interesting oolong. I was expecting a normal Taiwanese oolong, but there is a bit of a surprise to this one.
It is a light green oolong, with some floral scents. It is smooth and creamy, almost like there is a bit of milk oolong in there. There is also a pleasant metallic taste, as well as a spice to it. On my first sip, I almost thought this was a ginseng oolong, but there is not real ginseng taste to it. The more I drink it, the less like an oolong it tastes to me. It is taking on a more bold, very slightly roasted flavour. I am hardly getting any sweetness. It is reminding me of a green and black tea blend. It is quite good. I am a little sad I have waiting so long to try it.
No real tea review here.
I overleafed this one just a little bit because I was at the end of my sample and there wasn't enough for two cups but a bit too much for one cup. There was also quite a bit of leaf dust, being the end of the package. I shoulder have steeped for less time due to this but forgot so it is a bit bitter. Still drinkable but not as enjoyable as it could be.
So I had plans today, tea plans. And nothing gets in between me and my tea plans. Except a water main break which will have my water shut off for 5-6 hours. cries.
I can't even be too upset about it. I was at home and saw all the city trucks driving down my street, then a man came to my door and told me I have 15-20 minutes before my water gets shut off for minimum of 5-6 hours. So I got all flustered. I filled up the bathtub and sinks, and all my pots and pitchers and cups with water (just in case). I was in the middle of laundry but the washer was on the last rinse so that had time to finish.
In my flusteredness I filled my kettle up to the top with sink water, instead of the filtered water I normally use. So I went to make a cup of tea and had to boil the entire 1.7L kettle of tap water. My tap water is not even bad, but I usually use filtered water for the kettle, so it tastes different.
And how do you clean your tea implements? Well you can't really. I wasn't planning on doing the teas with multiple steeps today, but I guess that is what my plans are now :(
And don't even get me started on the toilet situation.
I shouldn't complain though. At least I was home and had a chance to prepare. My neighbours with kids aged 4 and 1 are not even home, so they are going to get a surprise when they get home for supper.
I feel your pain. My landlord shut off out water completely for over two days, and we only had about an hour of notice. It was a rough two days with limited tea drinking. I went through a lot of lattes…
Thanks everyone! The water came back on about 5 and a half hours later. I greatly overestimated the amount of water I would used during that time. So now I have a whole lot of water sitting everywhere that I don't want to waste. It was a good lesson. (Although I think in the back of my mind I was worried I would be without water for days).
The last time I made a note about this tea, Tabby commented that it is great iced. So I thought I better try it iced before I decided to get rid of it. I don't really have much left anyway, I sent most of it out on the GCTTB.
I brewed this one up 2 tsp for 1 cup water for 2 minutes. Then poured over a 20oz mug filled with ice. Added 1.5tsp of white sugar and then cooled in the fridge.
I actually wasn't as horrible iced as it was hot. (This one is not good when you brew it hot, then let it cool). So whatever it is about the chemical reaction, or whatever, when it is made from more of a concentrate, it is better. Still get a very strong floral, perfumey and chemical taste, but it is very blunted. Drinkable as a flavoured tea.
After I drank some down, I filled the top 1/3 of the mug with carbonated water and voila! Even better. The carbonated water either blunts or hides some of the perfumey taste. I probably have enough of this left to make a full pitcher of iced tea. I think I will be able to drink it down that way.

Broadway gets an Australian drag and glitter overload
Precocious film director tells me a story about storytelling
You're looking at the image that's above the big Times Square marquee for the Broadway version of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It's also the main visual on the show's site's homepage. As you can see, it features three gussied-up divas in a campy pose. But they're women! I think!
I was deeply moved by the Shakespeare in the Park revival of Hair, the anti-establishment, anti-plot, pro-love musical from the '60s. A big, old hippie jamboree, it has the tie-died cast prancing around a grassy stage and belting the fantasia of songs right to the audience, which responds to the f ... More >>

Lady Gaga-Perez Hilton Feud: Reignited!by Tyler Johnson at . Updated at . Comments
Back in August of 2013, Lady Gaga accused Perez Hilton of stalking her and the epic war of words that followed went on for weeks.
After things really got ugly on Twitter, Gaga ordered her Little Monsters to stand down and it seemed like the beef had finally been squashed.
When you're dealing with egos the size of Perez and Gaga's, however, no offense is ever really forgotten.
Gaga's G.U.Y. single isn't performing as well as expected and Perez has been teasing the singer about it with snarky tweets pointing out that the song has already dropped from the iTunes top 200. (Of course, as Gaga fans have pointed the track hasn't even been released to radio stations yet.)
To her credit, Gaga is doing her best to stay out of the feud, but Perez is doing all he can to pull her back in:
Yup, Perez can't even let the Mother Monster enjoy a nostalgic moment with her Twitter followers without putting in his two cents.
Believe it or not, there was a time when these were close friends. Now, Perez has clearly switched his allegiance to Team Britney.
We hope for her sake and ours Gaga continues to ignore this desperate blogger. Trolls feed on attention.
Whose side are you on?

Fort Worth SouthwestDistrict 7-4A Coach: Lanny Trammell Last season: 9-3 (6-1 in 7-4A), lost to Wichita Falls Rider 31-21 in Division II area Key players: RB Jameion Williams (5-9, 205); QB Devin Williams (6-0, 170); DB Cameron White (6-0, 205); LB Kenny Mayfield (5-10, 190); WR Trey Nevels (5-9, 155 ); LB/DE Semaj Thomas (6-2, 230); WR Isaiah Holmes (6-1, 205); WR William Luke (6-0, 170) The big picture: The Raiders lost some pretty big names to graduation. Chief among them are record-setting receiver Robbie Rhodes and quarterback Wesley Harris, both of whom signed with Baylor. But Southwest has been one of the best programs in the Fort Worth school district for nearly a decade and the current players are driven to continue the legacy. Running back Jameion Williams, who rushed for more than 1,200 yards and 12 scores last season, is expected to carry an even bigger load this season and is poised for a monster year. Sophomore quarterback Devin Williams steps in as the starter after getting some seasoning a year ago due to injuries. The Raiders are stocked with speedy receivers with whom Devin Williams can work. On defense, Southwest will be all about speed, because the line will be young. Look for Cameron White and Semaj Thomas, who are expected to be among the best defenders in District 7-4A, along with the steady play of linebacker Kenny Mayfield, to key that side of the ball. If both lines come along, Southwest could challenge Aledo for supremacy in 7-4A and either way looks like a lock for the playoffs again. Quotable: "We have a lot of kids who have stepped up, and I tell them all of the time nobody really knew about Robbie Rhodes when he got here. He made a name for himself. It's up to them now, the ball's in their court. It's their time to make their name." — Coach Lanny Trammell"I've been here for three years straight, and I think this year is the year. You know it's that feeling you get when you know you're going to be great. This year we have a lot of chemistry, we're going to play like brothers." — Jameion Williams Notable: Southwest has gone to the playoffs eight of the past nine years, averaging just under eight victories a season over that span. — Jarret Johnson

Unashamedly a circuit-based blaster that will need a road-rider to be fully aware of what he is about to buy if it's to be used on the road.

Judge Denies Interest For Move Plaintiffs
November 15, 1996
By Julia C. Martinez, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
A federal judge has ruled that Ramona Africa and the other plaintiffs in the MOVE civil trial cannot collect interest on top of their jury awards to compensate them for their decade-long wait for the case to reach trial. U.S. District Judge Louis H. Pollak said Ramona Africa and relatives of MOVE founder John Africa were not entitled to interest under federal law because the jury had awarded them damages for noneconomic harm, such as pain and suffering. He rejected a request for interest from another plaintiff - Louise James, mother of Frank James Africa - on the ground that she did not file her motion on time.
Suit: Blacks had to clean up after racists
December 17, 2010
By STEPHANIE FARR, firstname.lastname@example.com 215-854-4225
Several black men who were contracted to work at the Sunoco refinery in Philadelphia were forced to clean up racial slurs written about them on bathroom walls, the men claim in a federal civil rights lawsuit. Along with racial epithets, the men also claim in the suit filed Wednesday that there were nooses left around the workplace on several occasions. The six plaintiffs, led by Kenneth Hall, 40, of Philadelphia, were all employees of Advanced Speciality Contractors, of Aston, which was contracted to work on a project at the Sunoco refinery on Passyunk Avenue near 61st Street in Southwest Philadelphia, the suit said.
Plaintiffs: N.j. Mayor's Version False
November 1, 1988
By Nancy Phillips, Special to The Inquirer
Nearly two weeks after Cherry Hill Mayor Susan Bass Levin publicly disclosed a $17 million settlement offer by lawyer Peter J. O'Connor to end a lawsuit over affordable housing, O'Connor and his clients have denounced Levin's account as "a vicious falsehood. " In a written statement, O'Connor said the mayor's description of the settlement offer was "completely inaccurate and misrepresented the position of the plaintiffs. " In an interview yesterday, Levin said she stood by her account and provided notes of the meeting with O'Connor in support of her recollection.
A Plaintiff Responds To Rotan's 'Cracker' Op-ed
January 9, 2006
AS ONE OF THE plaintiffs in the recent successful verdict against the School District of Philadelphia, I take issue with some of the points that Rotan Lee made in his Dec. 28 op-ed, "In Defense of Carl and the Cracker Slur. " I have no problem with Mr. Lee's defense of Carl Singley's outburst as "venting. " What I do resent is his contention that there was "backslapping jocularity between the plaintiffs and the jurors. " First of all, Mr. Lee wasn't there in the courthouse and wouldn't know firsthand what transpired.
18 Pcb Plaintiffs Lose In Court For 2nd Time
October 23, 1992
By Jim Smith, Daily News Staff Writer
For the second time, a federal judge in Philadelphia has dismissed health- damage claims filed by 18 families and individuals who live or lived near the PCB-contaminated Paoli railroad maintenance yard in Chester County. The plaintiffs, 32 people seeking millions of dollars in damages, contend they or their late relatives developed illnesses from exposure to toxic polychlorinated biphenyls, known as PCBs, used for decades in railcar transformers. In a series of opinions released yesterday, U.S. District Judge Robert F. Kelly concluded that the families had no "prima facie" case, and entered summary judgment in favor of all defendants.
Law Review: Legal maneuvers in Ecuador costly to plaintiffs
January 7, 2011
By Chris Mondics, Inquirer Staff Writer
For all the polished rhetoric and decorous argumentation by very pricey lawyers, there was no disguising the bare-knuckle nature of the hearing Dec. 17 before U.S. District Judge Jan DuBois in Philadelphia. On its face, the issue was whether Philadelphia lawyer Joseph Kohn would disclose his most private communications in a lawsuit, filed in Ecuador, against energy giant Chevron. The suit alleges that Chevron bears responsibility for pollution in a wide swath of Amazon rain forest in eastern Ecuador, where Texaco, which merged with Chevron in 2001, had oil-drilling operations.
Racial-profiling case's plaintiffs to get $30,000 each
May 22, 2006
By Jeff Shields INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Five African American men who sued Whitemarsh Township and a decorated police sergeant for alleged racial profiling and alleged civil-rights violations will each receive $30,000 as part of a settlement while the two law firms that represented them will get $100,000 each. The case stemmed from allegations brought by fellow officers against former Sgt. Guy Anhorn. In reports to township officials and in depositions in the lawsuit, officers accused Anhorn of targeting blacks, performing illegal searches, and falsifying arrest affidavits.
At Merck, an allegation over records The drugmaker denies assertions by plaintiffs in class-action bias suits that it destroyed evidence. Merck destroyed evidence, plaintiffs say
October 9, 2001
By Joseph A. Slobodzian INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Officials at Merck & Co. Inc. called them "records retention guidelines" - routine reminders urging employees to manage and reduce the almost unfathomable amount of paperwork generated by the pharmaceutical giant. African American employees, who have filed class-action discrimination lawsuits against Merck in federal courts in Philadelphia and Albany, Ga., saw the July memo as something more sinister: a thinly veiled nudge to bosses to shred records that could hurt Merck in court.
New Jersey Bills Would Penalize Plaintiffs In Nuisance Lawsuits
July 21, 1986
By Ellen O'Brien and Inga Saffron, Inquirer Staff Writers
New Jersey Assemblywoman Maureen Ogden came to the state legislature in 1982 already experienced in an aspect of government that most politicians would just as soon avoid: lawsuits. During the three years that she served as mayor of Millburn, Ogden was sued three times by the township's former attorney. Ogden says those cases were without legal merit, and she points out that the judge who heard the cases dismissed the first two in summary judgments - without hearing arguments - and that he dismissed the third lawsuit after hearing the plaintiff's arguments.
21 Former Students Sue Over Education The Plaintiffs Say It Was Not Made Clear That A Neumann College Program Was Not Accredited.
August 26, 1999
By Mary Blakinger, INQUIRER SUBURBAN STAFF
Twenty-one former students at Neumann College in Aston have filed suit against the school, alleging that it did not clearly tell them that its new three-year master's program in physical therapy lacked accreditation when they enrolled in the fall of 1994. As a result, it took the plaintiffs an additional fourth year to get their degrees, according to Media attorney Jon J. Auritt, who filed the suit Tuesday in Delaware County Court. "We have not seen the [lawsuit]. We can't possibly comment," said Stephen Bell, a Neumann College spokesman, yesterday.

Law Review: Numbers are down, but Phila. is still a haven for medical malpractice suits
August 25, 2014
By Chris Mondics, Inquirer Staff Writer
After all the hand-wringing and anguish over out-of- state firms flocking to file lawsuits in Philadelphia - the law firms you see advertising on late-night television - is Philadelphia still the notorious plaintiffs' paradise of common lore? It all depends on your idea of civil litigation bliss. A look at medical malpractice awards is revealing. There is no question: Philadelphia remains the most favorable jurisdiction in Pennsylvania for lawyers seeking big payoffs, a maddening fact to the many physicians and hospitals here.
Another challenge to same-sex marriage
June 19, 2014
By Jessica Parks, Inquirer Staff Writer
Schuylkill County Register of Wills Theresa Santai-Gaffney is trying to pick up where Gov. Corbett left off and defend Pennsylvania's previous same-sex marriage ban. In May, U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III declared the ban unconstitutional, and gay and lesbian couples across the state began tying the knot. Santai-Gaffney has asked Jones to put his ruling on hold and allow her to intervene in the case. If Jones - or a higher court - grants her request, it could halt to same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania, and increase pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve a disjointed patchwork of laws nationwide.
NFL great Marino joins concussion lawsuit
June 4, 2014
By Jeremy Roebuck, Inquirer Staff Writer
Dan Marino, the Hall of Fame quarterback for the Miami Dolphins and one of the NFL's highest-profile alums, has joined the ranks of former players suing the league over concussion-related injuries. In court filings late last week, Marino, 52, claimed that league officials had long been aware of the long-term effects of repeated hits to the head but chose to ignore those warnings and put players' health at risk. But unlike some of the more than 5,000 ex-players who have filed suit in federal court in Philadelphia, Marino did not specify any explicit condition with which he has struggled in his post-football career.
Plaintiff Tess Gerritsen: Idea for 'Gravity' fell from my book
May 2, 2014
By Howard Gensler
T ESS GERRITSEN , the author of the Rizzoli & Isles book series, as well as a number of best-selling suspense novels, filed suit against Warner Bros. on Tuesday, reports TheWrap.com, claiming that the studio based its hit film "Gravity" on her novel. Her book was also called "Gravity" and Warner's New Line subsidiary bought the rights to it in 1999. Gerritsen is seeking 2.5 percent of the film's net profit, according to the New York Times . The author claims that her agreement with Warner promised her a "based upon" credit, if the movie were produced.
'Hobby Lobby' is about freedom
March 28, 2014
THROUGHOUT history, people have fought the good fight to preserve those things of value and fundamental importance that define the essence of being human. Our Founding Fathers raged against the tyranny of their colonial overlords. African-Americans and their allies rode the freedom train against a virulent tide of bigotry. Women struggled to earn what should have been their birthright - a political voice. Activists like Cesar Chavez labored to bring dignity to the migrant worker. Liberty, equality, respect and a living wage were all things that were won through the sacrifice of people who recognized that certain things in life are neither negotiable, nor free.
Judge: Kohn unaware of fraud in Chevron case
March 6, 2014
By Chris Mondics, Inquirer Staff Writer
In a case that has cost tens of millions in legal fees and riveted the attention of legal experts nationwide, a federal judge in New York on Tuesday found that an $18 billion judgment against energy giant Chevron Corp. for polluting a wide swath of the rain forest in Ecuador was procured through fraud, including bribery and doctored experts' reports. In an exhaustive, 485-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan found that lead plaintiffs' lawyer Steven Donziger initiated the fraud in 2006, after it appeared that the case in Ecuador had begun to go against him. Kaplan found that Donziger, who is based in New York, had concealed the fraud from Kohn Swift & Graf, a Philadelphia plaintiffs firm that financed the case until it pulled out in 2009 over concern that Donziger and his team had acted improperly.
Judge rules against foes of planned Cherry Hill apartment complex
February 5, 2014
By Suzette Parmley, Inquirer Staff Writer
CHERRY HILL A Superior Court judge on Monday upheld the Cherry Hill Township zoning board's approval of a 152-unit luxury apartment complex to be built at a site most recently occupied by a building materials supplier. In a case that underscored development tensions in one of the state's most heavily built-out municipalities, Judge Lee A. Solomon accepted the board's conclusion that Buckingham Partners L.L.C. of Cherry Hill had met its burden of proof related to variances. He rejected all arguments by the plaintiffs, a group of residents living nearby, who pledged to appeal.
Plaintiffs added, damages increased in Merck suit
January 19, 2014
By Jane M. Von Bergen, Inquirer Staff Writer
Lawyers representing pharmaceuticals saleswomen employed by Merck & Co. have upped the ante in a sexual discrimination lawsuit, adding plaintiffs and setting damages sought at $250 million. "Merck's glass ceiling and maternal walls are indisputable," lawyers for the women wrote in documents filed in federal court in Trenton late Thursday evening. The pleadings say Merck discriminates against saleswomen who "are or have been pregnant or are caregivers to young children" by denying them promotions and failing to compensate them as they do men. Lawyers for the women are seeking class-action status and say the class could include thousands of women.

HARRISBURG - Accusations are flying in an increasingly acrimonious dispute between attorneys in the federal case over same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania. At issue is a request by the state that the plaintiffs divulge what their attorneys are calling "highly private and sensitive information. " In a letter to U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III, the American Civil Liberties Union legal director in Pennsylvania, Witold J. Walczak, said the state's "invasive and overreaching" requests include whether the gay plaintiffs had been involved in opposite-sex relationships and the identity of sperm donors.
Chevron fights case that led to $19B ruling in Ecuador
October 29, 2013
By Chris Mondics, Inquirer Staff Writer
For years, Chevron Corp. has insisted a sprawling environmental-pollution lawsuit in Ecuador initiated by a Philadelphia law firm that resulted in a $19 billion judgment was riddled with fraud. Now, the company is trying to prove its case in a closely watched civil trial in federal district court in New York that could establish new limits on when and where U.S. companies can be sued over claims they caused environmental harm in foreign jurisdictions. Chevron has sued some of the lawyers and others on the plaintiffs' team, saying they doctored one expert-witness report, surreptitiously authored the findings of a court-appointed expert awarding their clients billions, and bribed a judge, among other improper and illegal acts.

Big Photo News
Posted by David Ozanich — 22 Sep 2010
News of the wacky out of Italy. The Wall Street Journal has a story today about the Triestina soccer team (okay, fine, football to those not in the US) in the city of Triesta. They have a 30,000 seat stadium it can't fill with fans since the city only has a population of about 200,000. Their solution? Print pictures of fans on giant sheets of vinyl and stretch them over the empty seats.

When you're fuckin a girl, you pull out your dick almost all the way - SLOWLY - teasing her and making her thirsty for you to bring it back, you pause for a second, gather your strength, and ram it back in with the force of a freight train, clenching your fists and scrunching your face.
Man, I got this girl so wet last night. Gave her the longboys and she got off in 3 minutes tops.

Ni River evacuated after another bomb threat today
Ni River Middle School was evacuated this afternoon about 2 p.m. after discovery of a bomb threat, Spotsylvania Sheriff's Capt. Mike Harvey said.
Nothing was found and students were sent home, Harvey said.
Schools spokeswoman Rene Daniels said the threat was in the form of a message written inside a girls' bathroom. She said an investigation is ongoing.
The school has had previous bomb threats this school year and the last.
According to the school division's code of conduct, leaving a threatening message is considered "violent criminal conduct" and can result in long-term suspension and criminal charges.
