Can I Get a Picture Perfect Do-Over?
The second I walked in to drop my son off at preschool, I knew something was wrong. All the little girls wore darling party dresses and the normally tousled little boys had on neatly tucked-in button down shirts. On what I clearly had forgotten was picture day, my son, on the other hand, was wearing a too-large, kelly green shirt with a giant image of Kermit-the-Frog's face.

MELISSA LEE, ON BEHALF OF HERSELF AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.CARTER-REED COMPANY, L.L.C., A/K/A THE CARTER REED COMPANY, BASIC RESEARCH, L.L.C., DG ENTERPRISES, INC., ALPHAGENBO TECH, L.L.C., BODY FORUM, L.L.C., BODY INNOVENTIONS, L.L.C., COVARIX, L.L.C., COVAXIL LABORATORIES, L.L.C., BYDEX MANAGEMENT, L.L.C., WESTERN HOLDINGS, L.L.C., DENNIS W. GAY, AND NATHALIE CHEVREAU, DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Union County, Docket No. L-3969-04.
Argued: January 14, 2009
Before Judges Cuff, Fisher and Baxter.
We granted leave to appeal an order denying class certification in this matter, which may be categorized as a mass media false advertising case. We affirm.
Plaintiff Melissa Lee is a purchaser of a dietary supplement, known as Relacore, formulated, manufactured, marketed, and distributed by defendant Carter-Reed Company, L.L.C. (Carter-Reed). She alleges that she first purchased Relacore in April 2004 at a CVS drugstore and took the product for approximately three months. She paid $39.99 for each bottle or thirty-day supply of the supplement.
Carter-Reed commenced marketing Relacore in 2002 through magazines, television, radio stations, Internet websites, and promotional materials sent to retailers. The advertising campaign varied over the years. Some advertisements emphasized that Relacore helps reduce stress-induced belly fat. Others emphasize that Relacore is a "non-sedating, mild anti-anxiety mood enhancer that reduces stress-induced cortisol production by helping to minimize stress." Some advertisements emphasize its capacity to elevate mood; others contain statements from defendant Dr. Nathalie Chevreau promising a reduction in belly fat and "an overall feeling of well-being." Product packaging and labeling emphasize a variety of product attributes, including stress reducer, mood elevator, and belly fat retardant. The product carries a money-back guarantee which is featured prominently in its advertising campaign.*fn1
On November 10, 2004, plaintiff filed a complaint, on behalf of herself and all similarly situated persons who bought Relacore, in which she alleged that defendants Carter-Reed, Basic Research, L.L.C., DG Enterprises, Inc., Alphagenbo Tech, L.L.C., Body Forum, L.L.C., Body Innoventions, L.L.C., Covarix, L.L.C., Covaxil Laboratories, L.L.C., Bydex Management, L.L.C., Western Holdings, L.L.C., Dennis W. Gay, and Nathalie Chevreau (collectively referred to as defendants) devised and utilized a fraudulent, deceptive and improper advertising campaign for Relacore. Plaintiff sought relief pursuant to the Consumer Fraud Act (CFA), N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 to -166, and the common law of this State for herself and all class members since the product was introduced to the market by defendants in 2002.*fn2 Individual members of the class have monetary claims ranging from $40 to $120.
Plaintiff alleged that she purchased the product based on its advertised claims to reduce belly fat. She further alleges that she used the product as directed for ninety days, did not lose belly fat and her waist actually grew larger.
Following discovery limited to class suitability, plaintiff moved for class certification and appointment of class counsel on November 20, 2007. Defendants opposed the motion. Following oral argument, Judge Dupuis denied the application for class certification. We granted leave to appeal from this April 18, 2008 order.*fn3
In her written opinion, Judge Dupuis found that the putative class met the requirements of Rule 4:32-1(a)(1) to (4), but did not meet the requirements of Rule 4:32-1(b)(3). That is, the judge held that questions of law or fact common to the class did not predominate over the questions affecting only its individual members and that a class action was not superior to other methods of adjudication. In her analysis the judge held that "[t]he common questions of law or fact in this litigation are whether the advertising claims that Relacore could 'shrink stubborn belly fat' or enhance mood were misleading under the [CFA], whether the defendants have been unjustly enriched at the class members' expense, and whether certain warranties have been breached." On the other hand, the judge found that the difficulties of managing the class were "insurmountable." She identified individual factors that would require evidentiary hearings as to each member on fourteen different issues. The individual factors identified by the judge are (a) whether they bought the product to reduce belly fat, reduce stress or fight metabolic syndrome; (b) whether they read the magazine advertisements, and if so which ones; (c) whether they viewed any television commercials and if so, which ones; (d) the extent to which the advertisements were relied upon in making the purchase; (e) whether the purchaser bought the product at the recommendation of a friend, relative, or store employee; (f) whether some of the alleged benefits of Relacore were experienced by the class member in question, and if so, which benefits; (g) whether the health condition of the class member affected the efficacy of [the] product; (h) whether the class member followed directions, and which direction the member followed; (i) whether any of the plaintiffs took medication, and if so, which medication they were taking; (j) whether there was a causal nexus between the alleged wrongful acts of the defendants and an ascertainable loss; (k) the amount of money paid by the consumer; (l) price or any other factor upon which the purchase was based; and (m) whether they suffered an ascertainable loss as necessary under the CFA; (n) whether a refund was requested and received.
The judge also noted that plaintiff had not suggested any method to handle the numerous individual questions confronting the class.
As to plaintiff's unjust enrichment claim, Judge Dupuis also held that the court was confronted with individual issues of whether each class member received the benefit of the bargain. The breach of express warranty claims also required individual showings of which of several possible warranties were breached and whether there was timely notice to the seller of the express warranty breach. Similarly, the implied warranty of merchantability required an examination of individual issues of fitness for the ordinary purpose for which the product was used and conformation to the promises or affirmations of fact made on the container or label.
On appeal, plaintiff argues that the trial judge abused her discretion when she denied class certification due to remainder issues and defenses requiring some individualized examination and abdicated her case management responsibilities by declining to certify a class on manageability and superiority grounds. Defendants argue that the trial judge properly found that individual issues predominated plaintiff's claims and properly held that class certification of plaintiff's CFA, common law fraud, unjust enrichment, and breach of warranty claims should be denied on lack of predominance grounds.
Our Supreme Court has recently addressed class action certification in several cases: International Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 68 Welfare Fund v. Merck & Co., 192 N.J. 372 (2007); and Iliadis v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 191 N.J. 88 (2007).*fn4 In each case, as here, whether the class was subject to class certification focused on the specific requirements of Rule 4:32-1(b)(3): whether the putative class raises "questions of law or fact common to the members of the class [that] predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and that a class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of the controversy."
The analysis of these aspects of the rule must be rigorous. Iliadis, supra, 191 N.J. at 106-07. However, the analysis must neither overwhelm nor ignore the recognized benefits of the class action when a multitude of claimants present similar claims for relatively small amounts of money. Id. at 115, 116-17; Muhammad, supra, 189 N.J. at 17-18. In its evaluation of commonality and predominance of common issues over individual issues, a court is required to determine whether there is a "common nucleus of operative facts." In re Cadillac V8-6-4 Class Action, 93 N.J. 412, 431 (1983). Accord, Int'l Union, supra, 192 N.J. at 383; Iliadis, supra, 191 N.J. at 108-09. The court must also identify the elements of each claim and apply the identified facts to the elements of each cause of action. Int'l Union, supra, 192 N.J. at 388; Iliadis, supra, 191 N.J. at 109.
The presence of individual issues does not defeat class certification. Int'l Union, supra, 192 N.J. at 383; Varacallo v. Mass. Mut. Life Ins. Co., 332 N.J. Super. 31, 45 (App. Div. 2000). It is not necessary that common issues must resolve the entire dispute. Int'l Union, supra, 192 N.J. at 383.
The superiority requirement requires an analysis that includes:
"'(1) an informed consideration of alternative available methods of adjudication of each issue, (2) a comparison of the fairness to all whose interests may be involved between such alternative methods and a class action, and (3) a comparison of the efficiency of adjudication of each method.'" [Iliadis, supra, 191 N.J.] at 114-15 (quoting In re Cadillac, supra, 93 N.J. at 436 (quotation omitted in original)). More specifically, in Iliadis, we identified as important to the superiority analysis a consideration of the "class members' 'lack of financial wherewithal.'" Id. at 115 (quoting Saldana v. City of Camden, 252 N.J. Super. 188, 200 (App. Div. 1991)). In such circumstances, we have expressed a concern that, absent a class, the individual class members would not pursue their claims at all, thus demonstrating superiority of the class action mechanism. See ibid.; Muhammad[, supra,] 189 N.J. [at 17]. [Id. at 384.]
Manageability of the class is a consideration, but it is "disfavored" to deny class certification on this basis. Iliadis, supra, 191 N.J. at 117. In order to justify denial of class certification on this basis, the management issues must be of great magnitude. Int'l Union, supra, 192 N.J. at 384-85; Iliadis, supra, 191 N.J. at 118. Here, the issue of manageability is clearly subordinate to the issue of predominance.
In this case, plaintiff and the putative class contend defendants' actions give rise to various causes of action, the dominant claims being violations of the CFA and common law fraud. The judge considering class certification must consider what questions of law and fact are common and whether those questions predominate. Int'l Union, supra, 192 N.J. at 389-90.
A party asserting a CFA claim must establish wrongful conduct, an ascertainable loss, and a causal relationship or nexus between the wrongful conduct and the loss. Id. at 389; N.J. Citizen Action v. Schering-Plough Corp., 367 N.J. Super. 8, 12-13 (App. Div.), certif. denied, 178 N.J. 249 (2003). A common law fraud claim requires proof of "a material representation of a presently existing or past fact, made with knowledge of its falsity and with the intention that the other party rely thereon, resulting in reliance by that party to his detriment." Jewish Ctr. of Sussex County v. Whale, 86 N.J. 619, 624 (1981). In this case, the central issue for the consumer fraud claim is the existence of a causal nexus between the wrongful conduct and any loss.
In International Union, supra, the plaintiff was a joint union-employer trust fund organized to sponsor and administer health benefit plans for union members and their beneficiaries. 192 N.J. at 376-77. The plaintiff claimed that fraudulent marketing schemes by the manufacturer of prescription pain reliever Vioxx caused it to pay inflated costs for claims submitted by its members. Id. at 377. It claimed that the drug manufacturers violated the CFA, id. at 385, and sought relief for itself and a class that included other union-employer trust funds, corporate health insurers, health maintenance organizations, private employers, self-insured employers, and multi-employer union benefit organizations, id. at 378. The Court held that this class was improperly certified because individual issues predominated. Id. at 391.
Specifically, the Court emphasized that each putative class member relied on committees to investigate, review, analyze and ultimately decide which drugs marketed by a variety of manufacturers should be included in their formularies and under what terms members and their beneficiaries would be reimbursed for any drug. Id. at 390-91. Although there were certain common facts, including the contents of the defendant's marketing plan, withholding adverse information, existing Food and Drug Administration warning letters, and withdrawal of the product from the market, id. at 388, the Court held that there was a distinct lack of uniformity on the critical element of a causal nexus between any unlawful conduct and any ascertainable loss. Id. at 390-91. The Court explained:
More important to our analysis, however, plaintiff does not suggest that each of these proposed class members, receiving the same information from defendant, reacted in a uniform or even similar manner. Rather, the record speaks loudly in its demonstration that each third-party payor, relying on P[rescription]B[enefit]M[anager]s and P[harmacy] & T[herapeutics] Committees, made individualized decisions concerning the benefits that would be available to its members for whom Vioxx was prescribed. The evidence about separately created formularies, different types of tier systems, and individualized requirements for approval or reimbursement imposed on various plans' members and, to some extent, their prescribing physicians, are significant. That evidence convinces us that the commonality of defendant's behavior is but a small piece of the required proofs. Standing alone, that evidence suggests that the common fact questions surrounding what defendant knew and what it did would not predominate. [Ibid.]
The Court, therefore, reversed the order certifying the class. Id. at 394.
Here, plaintiff has a similar set of problems as the plaintiffs in International Union. Plaintiff asserts that she relied on a false marketing campaign and she was induced by the false representations to purchase and use the product. Neither plaintiff nor this court know, however, what caused others to purchase and use the product. Neither plaintiff nor this court know whether putative class members even saw the print or Internet advertisements or whether they purchased the product due to a recommendation from a friend or family member.
Moreover, this case has a problem other than that presented in International Union. In International Union, the defendant had assembled a uniform market program for Vioxx. It touted Vioxx as a more effective pain reliever than traditional pain relievers. Id. at 377. Here, however, the Relacore market campaign is multi-faceted. In some ads, it is touted as a belly fat retardant; in others, a mood elevator; in others, a stress reducer. We have no idea the reason any putative class members purchased the product, assuming they heard or saw any advertising.
In Iliadis, supra, the Court reversed an order denying class certification, 183 N.J. at 121, but Iliadis does not compel class certification. In Iliadis, the plaintiff sought to certify a nation-wide class of Wal-Mart employees who received less pay than they should have received, 191 N.J. at 95, due to the employer's adoption of a company-wide policy that dropped small increments of time from an employee's recorded time, id. at 96-97. The loss to individual employees was nominal; the amount due nation-wide was significant. Id. at 115. The Court identified core issues, including common evidentiary issues, id. at 111-12, and concluded that the affirmative cause of action asserted by the plaintiff and the putative class "'has the community of interests and of questions of law or fact which justify the class action concept,'" id. at 112 (quoting Branch v. White, 99 N.J. Super. 295, 310 (App. Div.), certif. denied, 51 N.J. 464 (1968)).
To be sure, the putative class is composed of persons with relatively small, even nominal, monetary claims, and these persons are unlikely to pursue individual claims through litigation.*fn5 In Iliadis, however, the class members were victims of a company-wide policy designed to deny them compensation for relatively small units of time. 191 N.J. at 98. No action by any individual member of the class affected whether he or she was paid less than he or she was due. The only individual issue was the amount of money owed to the individual employee. Id. at 112. Iliadis truly presented the "quintessential" class action. Int'l Union, supra, 192 N.J. at 394.
Similarly, In re Cadillac does not compel class certification. There, a motor vehicle was manufactured and promoted as having certain features. In re Cadillac, supra, 93 N.J. at 421-22. The vehicle did not perform as advertised. Id. at 422. As in Iliadis, a single problem, which in In re Cadillac was a product defect, uniformly affected everyone who purchased the vehicle and individual actions by purchasers and users had no impact on the nature or extent of the defect and the damage caused to the purchaser.
Moreover, plaintiff has not identified, and we have not found, any case in which any court in this State has certified a class action in the context of a mass media false advertising case. Plaintiff suggests that this court's opinion in Varacallo, supports class certification in this circumstance. We disagree.
In Varacallo, this court held that a class of all New Jersey residents who purchased so-called "vanishing premium" whole life insurance policies from an insurance company over a four-year period should have been certified. 332 N.J. Super. at 34. The proposed class asserted that the defendant insurance company withheld material information from its market literature to enhance the prospect that individuals would purchase the vanishing premium whole life insurance product offered by the defendant. Id. at 40-41. The proposed class argued that the market scheme violated the CFA. Id. at 35. They also asserted a common law fraud claim. Id. at 43. We held that the claim asserted by the plaintiff and the putative class satisfied the predominance requirement of Rule 4:32-1(b)(3). Id. at 42, 48-49.
Although this court recognized that the majority of jurisdictions that had addressed the issue of class certification in vanishing premium whole life insurance litigation had denied class certification on the predominance issue, id. at 44, we decided that the predominance factor had been met because a common core of operative facts existed and the class was seeking to redress a common legal grievance, id. at 48.
Central to our analysis of whether the Varacallo rule applies to this case is recognition that the material omissions that formed the basis of the misleading life insurance marketing scheme in Varacallo were uniform and common to all class members. We emphasized that the literature compiled by the insurance company and the sales campaign designed by the insurance company and implemented by its agents never deviated from a common message. Id. at 35-41. Every marketing effort was accompanied by explanatory literature and verbal explanations based on projections the insurance company knew it could not maintain. Id. at 40-41. That is not this case.
Here, although defendants offer a single product, the marketing effort is multi-faceted. In some instances, defendants emphasize Relacore's weight loss or weight control features. In other instances, it is touted as a mood elevator, an anxiety reliever, or a stress reducer. It is offered in a nighttime formula, thereby suggesting that it may address insomnia or other sleep disorders. Unlike the class members in In re Cadillac and Varacallo, who suffered losses based on a defect or a series of misrepresentations common to all class members, plaintiff and the putative class members suffered losses from a variety of sources not common to all.
Moreover, the representations in Varacallo concerned a financial product. Class actions are particularly suitable for cases in which a common set of misrepresentations or malfeasance infect a financial product offered broadly in the marketplace.
Indeed, as noted in Varacallo, the theory of fraud on the market is particularly susceptible to class action treatment, id. at 47-48, but the application of this theory is confined to federal securities fraud litigation, Int'l Union, supra, 192 N.J. at 392; Kaufman v. i-Stat Corp., 165 N.J. 94, 97-98 (2000). To the extent Varacallo suggests the fraud on the market theory, which eliminates proof of even indirect reliance in a common law fraud action, is applicable in a mass market media fraud action, subsequent cases have clearly rejected this notion. Int'l Union, supra, 192 N.J. at 392; N.J. Citizen Action, supra, 367 N.J. Super. at 15-16.
The lack of predominance is even more obvious in the context of plaintiff's common law fraud claim. For this claim, plaintiff and the putative class must prove reliance. Jewish Ctr. of Sussex County, supra, 86 N.J. at 624. In light of the multiple qualities attributed to the product and the variety of advertising campaigns and media outlets utilized by defendants, the issue of reliance by individual users overwhelms any common issues.*fn6
In short, we hold that the trial judge properly denied class certification for this mass media false advertising claim. The multiple qualities attributed to the product, coupled with the multiple advertising campaigns focusing on one of several attributes compels a finding that a common core of facts and law does not predominate to allow class treatment. We, therefore, affirm the April 18, 2008 order denying class certification.

Villain doesn't have a big hand on turn or he would have likely bet the turn (although 76 got there theres still J9 97 and two spades for draws).
On river Villain puts me on a draw which whiffed or a middle pocket pair.... the King certainly could have hit him and if i have a pair i could fold putting him on Kx and if i have a draw Im always folding..... villain knows this, thus is betting this river with ATC thus I am calling.
Agree or Disagree with Logic.
I'm a showdown monkey but I don't generally call here. If the action was slightly different (you raising UTG, him calling OTB, then you betting the flop, him calling, and the rest as-is) I could find a call. However, with his UTG range and the added problem that some good players at this level can valuebet Kx and even QQ/JJ with the action given, plus the fact that this seems like a reasonable way for him to play AK and KQ, I just think his value range is too wide not to give him credit for having it.
re: Poker & $400 NLHE 6-max: Light Calldown
If villain was me, my preferred line with JJ/QQ against regs would be to bet the turn and possibly check back the river if things got ugly. Not so if villain had a high (> 15%, let's say) turn check/raise and/or a high bet-river%. In that case I'd check back the turn with those hands very often. I'd probably also check back AT on this board, and I could very well valuebet that against a lot of the regs I play. Probably not with a 3/4ths sized bet, though.
If I wanted to find a call, I'd be suspicious of his bet-sizing, but that - again - depends so much on his specific tendencies and how he views us.
Hi Zybomb,
Here is my micro-stakes experience read of the hand
So a fairly good tag raises UTG, Im assuming you are giving him credit for a pretty strong hand, any pair AK ,AQ maybe since his raising range is likely tightest here.
Your call with a small pair, ok in my book,even though against a decent player who raised UTG, other than a set and OOP it could be difficult to see the hand past the flop.
Why are you check-calling here? calling controls the size of the pot, ok but with 2 overcards and a tight UTG raiser do you feel your ahead of most of his range?
The 4c seems like a brick to me. Maybe he figured your check calling preflop and the flop meant you would likely fold to any bet and it's why he checked the turn? Maybe he figured you were in pot-control mode.
I agree with your comments but to add my own interpretation, what hands did you think you were beating with your call?
I dont play at your stakes but do UTG raisers usually open-raise with cute cards like suited connectors? Do these pay off often enough heads up?
Please keep in mind I very much appreciate your feedback on my hand analyses and im just offering my student-of-the-game type perspective so I could be totally wrong or just not understand the rational behind what you did.
By the way, consider check/raise bluffing the flop. Yeah, you're not going to get any better hands to fold, but you're at least going to take it down pretty often. It's a drawheavy board, which may make him suspicious that you're on a draw, but what can he do with 77 or KQ? If he thinks you have a flushdraw, re-raising will be your invitation to shove on him, so wet boards like these are - paradoxically, perhaps - kinda good spots to bluff naked, specifically because you can have so many draws looking to get it in. And if he DOES re-raise, you may somewhat safely assume that you're looking at a hand that either has you crushed, or he has a draw himself - which, frankly, is a favorite over your hand.
I like what Leatherass said about making small pairs your "bluff balancers" in these spots. There's a lot of ways for him to have hit this flop, which makes the re-raise perhaps not ideal from a bluff success point of view, but then again calling down is not exactly a cheap way of winning the pot either if it hit his range hard.
On this board what would u expect a decent(im asuming villain thinks OP is a decent player or atleast not a moron ) villain to c/c flop and turn with that QQ/JJ beats?
If he does have QQ/JJ from his perspective he is probably only geting 2 streets of value from worse so checking back and either allowing villain(op) to bluff the river or value bet him self when checked to.
So he is keeping in our weak hands by checking the turn and increasing the liklyhood he gets another street of value and controling the pot size for the times we have a set here.
Somebody correct me if my thought procces is messed up here but i think this is a pretty nice line to take with QQ/JJ IF where against a decent player since if where against a fish we can just value bet all streets with QQ here...
re: Poker & $400 NLHE 6-max: Light Calldown
Your thought process is good.
The downside to checking back the turn with JJ/QQ here is that you risk your opponent drawing out. But it's not a huge downside; SB is unlikely to have more than 5 outs when he's drawing, and if we think he'll bluff the river often, inducing a bluff works to our advantage. JT and similar hands are (or should, imo) call a second barrel here. However, to turn this back to the flipside, if SB has a hand like that, he's looking at about five outs, but will very often still call a river bet.
So, to conclude: Checking back the turn with hands that aren't terribly vulnerable to draws (i.e. 87s, where a hand like QJ would have 10 outs) works well against
1) air that floated and will bet the river (in which case we call)
2) medium strength hands looking for a cheap showdown that will check the river (in which case we bet)
3) monsters that will bet the river (in which case we get to the cheapest possible showdown.
Of course, this is all moot if villain would be willing to call off three barrels with JT, in which case bet/bet/bet with an overpair is the way to go.
I turn a gutshot which helps matters out particularly when he checks. I think Im good at this point.
The river obviously sucks as KJ KQ KT AK are all in his range. But my feeling was villain had some hand reading skills and it was pretty clear that my hand was either a middle pair ro a busted draw. Betting would fold out busted draws always and middle pairs a lot as well, so it makes no sense for him not to bet ATC (without showdown value of course) in this spot. Since I am under the impression he is betting ATC his river betting range is AK AQ AJ KQ KJ QJ.... which about half we beat and half we don't (but obv more combos of non K hands bc of the K on the board). I don't think villain Value bets 77 or 8x here ever, and althought he can show up with AT/KT on occasion (or even like T9s) I think chances are he bets these hands again on the turn the majority of the time so I am discounting them. Finally the river bet sizing seems rather strange given the fact that we appear to have a busted draw or a medium PP. This bet doesn't seem to be sized to induce a call....more so to induce a fold. I think Kx or even if Tx tried to get value and didn't bet the turn, would likely bet a lot less
I'm not saying my thinking was correct here, but im just explaining what it was at the time

The "pinna nobilis" is one of greatest bivalve mollusc living in the world (he can be upper one meter). This species is endemic in mediterranean sea and may be found between 0,5 to 50 meters of depth.
She live in sand or sediment on the third of his length.
The herbium of posidonies are an essential condition for the reproduction of the "pinna nobilis".
For a long time, romans have exploited it for commercial issues : weaving of clothes (with his byssus : the fibers secreted by the mollusc), crafting of buttons (with the nacre).
We can see that this species is in recession in mediterranean sea, differents factors can be explain it:
- Humans activities (the molluscs are collected during fishing, or eaten in countries as Malta or Italia)
- Boats activities (anchors breaking the shells)
- Pollution (with the waters used and the wastes who kills larva of pinna nobiblis)
- The arrangement of the littoral sea (artificials beaches, tourism)
- Others reasons
I had the luck to see few specimens with my father, few years ago during snorkeling near "les Embiez" and "Port-Cros" à Gien who is became a natural park in the project of Natura 2000)
We can count few predators of the bivalve : humans of course, but fishes and molluscs too, as "daurata aurata" or "octopus vulgaris".

Best Uses
I've had no issue's plenty of pockets more than the Dickies pants I've owned before.
Best Uses
Actually surprised that the pants were exactly as advertised - not a common occurrence in the world of retail these days. Sturdy and solid these will last me a while.
Make them in denim blue and I'll buy more often.
Best Uses
Great Product Love them. Fit is Just right the pockets save me many trips to the tool Box and saves me time from having to hunt down tools that I have miss placed. There are only two little things I do not like. One, the knee pads that you insert sit to low on the pants so I have to pull the legs up on the pants to take advantage of them. Two,I really appreciate the pockets but when I put my Fiskar Shop boss Hardware snips in one of the pockets which are a great fit for the tool the tools end is to sharp for the pocket and is already wearing a small hole in the pocket and the sheath for the tool don't fit. I would love to see special Pocket Liners that you could insert into the pockets for sharp tools.
Best Uses
Perfect for my job at a plant Nursery. I am able to carry all I need on the many pockets. I love the ability to insert knee pads.

1. Okay, so, here's the thing... I'm quite tired of spending so many hours putting so much effort into corresponding with people over e-mail/okcupid messages just for them to randomly delete their okcupid profiles and vanish.
This has happened so many times to me over the years that I've lost count now and It's just ridiculous. So, I've reluctantly decided not to correspond over e-mail anymore. I will exchange a couple e-mail/okcupid messages and that is all. Just enough for us to introduce ourselves a bit and exchange instant messenger names and that's it. If you're not willing to chat on an instant messenger program then we won't be able to talk. Please be honest and up front about this so we don't waste each other's time.
I use Skype mostly but can also use yahoo messenger if requested.
2. I don't subscribe to A-List. If you're clicking that like me button or whatever, I will never see who you are. OKC does not display those likes to people that don't subscribe. And honestly... if you're so fickle that you can't be bothered to even send a short message to someone you supposedly "like" then I really have nothing to say to you anyway.
3. Idiocy, ignorance, childishness, shallowness, extreme immaturity, apathy, fickleness = no thanks, not what I'm looking for. I'm 29 and looking for stability now, if such a thing exists at all. I have no time or energy for games.
4. If you're so lazy/busy that you can't be bothered to write more than a few words in a message to me... don't be surprised if I decide I'm too lazy/busy to bother replying to you at all. Your time and energy is no more valuable than my own or anyone else's, remember that. Sorry if your parents never taught you that but it's the truth. You get out what you invest in me basically.
5. Location doesn't matter to me. If you're on the other side of the world, that's fine. Lets chat anyway!
6. I'm only looking for people with long-term friendship potential---this doesn't mean I wouldn't like to find more than that one day. But, I've always believed that for anything else to be remotely possible between two people, a solid foundation of close friendship has to be built first. As I said before, I'm 29 not 19... not looking for games, flings and other bs. I'm looking for real, genuine friendship that may eventually lead to something deeper and nothing else.
7. WARNING: I am a writer. I write a lot and I love to write. If you're severely allergic to text---then you better run! Run while you still can! You have been warned!
8. Just figured I'd throw this in at the bottom of this list so that people who skim the profile will probably miss it. If you immediately begin talking about sex or intimate things you'd like to do with me... or shamelessly and heavily coming on to me in OKC messages or IM chat, I will more than likely ignore you. I'm not totally against that sort of chat but please have some class and at least show that you have some genuine interest in me and spend some time (days) getting to know me first. This isn't some porn site or cyber chat room and I'm definitely not looking for a fling or hook up, online or off. If I get the impression this is all you're looking for I will move on.
My Summary:
I am an intense, emotional, passionate and caring individual... which I usually hide behind my more nonchalant, laid-back and lazy exterior. All my life, I've loved the art of storytelling and how it can transport us to other worlds, places and times. I've always seen it as a type of real-life magic, in a way---as all forms of art tend to be---and storytelling in particular is an art I realized years ago that I needed to master... or at least, make the attempt. It's what I love most in life and I could never see myself doing anything else. It's more about "need" than "want", for me. I need to write, I need to tell my stories. I couldn't give up the pursuit of fiction writing even if I wanted to. Storytelling is one of the few things in the real world that makes sense to me, I guess... and it's always just felt "right" for me.
In fact, the only other thing that means as much to me in life as my writing... is people. I care about people a great deal, even though I try not to be too obvious about it---as I've learned through harsh experiences in the past that many will only try to take advantage of this... and there seems to be far more users and con-artists in the world than good people. Yet, I still care about people and need them in my life... and I'm really not embarrassed to admit that. Even though I know many would see it as a sign of weakness or pointless sentiment these days. I don't believe it is. I will never believe that to be truly "whole" or "complete" or otherwise appropriately well-adjusted that you must become some self-centered, emotionless, unwaveringly independent badass that treats everyone as inevitably disposable tools... and never allows themselves to "need" or really care about anyone. I've always believed such an approach can only lead to a flawed, misguided and incredibly hollow existence.
Yet, unfortunately and despite all my efforts... I lead a very lonely life... and I hate it. I've learned not to expect much from personal sites or the internet in general. But... somehow, I'm still able to hope and believe that lightning can strike... and maybe I can find something meaningful on here. We'll see I guess...
Here's a hint for you though... if I intrigue you, try taking a look at the many questions I've answered and made public. I often leave very honest explanations for my answers which will probably give you a much better idea of the type of person I am than a profile summary ever could.
Clubbing, bars, dancing, partying, beaches etc. are not things I like to do or places I like to go at all. If you're looking for an average, mainstream gay guy that does all that stuff... well, that's definitely not me.
My idea of a good time is going to a bookstore/library or maybe a good movie (if anyone ever makes one again) or arcade. I like checking out unique and interesting specialty/hobby stores like antique shops, magic shops, gaming and comic book shops etc.
And of course, I love fantasy games. LARP gatherings/events or D&D groups or other tabletop game groups like warhammer fantasy, I love all that stuff. Renaissance fairs are fun too. I'd love to see Europe and Japan some day... maybe even live over there.
I would probably be interested in getting involved in some stuff like paranormal investigations or visiting places that are supposed to be haunted too. Yeah I'm a weird guy, I know. Doesn't bother me and I have no desire to change.
I am creative, caring, and honorable (no, seriously, I really am!)
Other Interests, hobbies and pursuits:
-Gaming: Probably goes without saying if you read further down in my profile but yeah... traditional J-RPG style games are usually my favorites and the only type of video games I really play at all... besides MMO's.
Anime: Again... probably goes without saying but yeah... scroll down to my favorites section to see what anime I like. Would love to find some friends to watch anime with on a regular basis.
-Video Game Design: I love using the video game medium to tell stories and I grew up playing and loving many of the great RPG's... so I know how well video games can be used to tell stories.
-History: History can be a fascinating subject. Almost any time period or place can be interesting to me. I use to enjoy the History Channel years ago when it actually had respectable shows.
-Psychology: Learning how the mind works has always interested me.
-Video Game Videos: I sometimes dabble in streaming gameplay of video games or making gameplay videos to post online aka "Let's Plays". Either way, being able to share the games I love with others is great fun for me.
-MMO's: I've played many MMO's over the years... and it's quite disappointing to see how far the MMO industry has fallen since I got started in it over 15 years ago. In my opinion, most MMO's are trash these days.... and thats just sad... considering the amazing worlds and experiences we could be building with them.
-RPing: I have done a lot of roleplaying in the past, not so much recently. I only roleplay over instant messengers (the ones I listed above). I prefer fantasy settings. Ask me about this if you're interested.
-EverQuest: I currently play it casually on a private server. If you're at all into the EQ private server community you can probably guess which server that is. Ask me about it if you're interested.
Something else you probably need to know:
Just to get this out of the way... so those who would judge me as inadequate over this can move on to the next profile and not waste my time...
I suffer from social anxiety and some agoraphobia. It's pretty much a disability for me. Needless to say, I don't get out too often. It's somewhat more manageable when I'm with friends I trust... but in general, I'm never very comfortable in public places or around large groups of people. It's always been like this for me.
However, if you believe that this makes me worthless or incapable of being a valuable and meaningful friend... then you're an idiot (or a user) and still have a lot to learn about life.
When it comes to writing, I guess I've always felt like... fantasy and fiction stories allow us to experience so much more than we would normally be able to in our lives. In a way, they allow us to experience countless other lives and existences in countless different places... with the only limit being our own imagination... and those experiences inspire us and give us additional strength, resolve and hope for dealing with real life. So, because of that, I've always thought good stories were some of the most priceless treasures we can create... and I want to spend my life contributing to that as best as I can...
I probably should also mention that I don't care about becoming the richest or most successful person on the planet. While some small measure of material wealth would be nice, I don't need it. I do understand the need for basic financial stability though and that's something I plan on making sure I always have.
I've always marched to the beat of a different drummer though... art, music and fiction writing is what's most important to me. The pursuit of happiness. love and meaning in life, is what drives me. Family (if I really had one), friends and community is everything.
Personal advancement is nothing, all the money and all the power in the world is nothing... without others to share it with. Love and good, trustworthy friends are some of the greatest treasures we can hope to find in life. With them, anything is possible...
That's what I'm doing with my life.
But if you get me talking about something I'm really passionate about, like video games, for example. I can go
on and on for hours then.
And of course... there's the obvious things... I'm tall and have long hair etc.
Television Shows: There's very, very little on live TV that I currently like or watch. I don't even have cable anymore and I don't miss it. Back when I still had cable, I use to like watching shows on Food Network a lot. I mostly watch old 90's TV shows and some anime and video game playthroughs on YouTube and Hulu these days.
Some old TV shows I really liked as a kid and still love today are: Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Highlander, Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, X Files, The Lost World, Buffy, Angel, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Hercules, Xena, Disney's Gargoyles and Aladdin.
Also been enjoying this old Sherlock Holmes show I found online lately.
Important Notice:
Just to be up front about this. Unlike what seems to be the vast majority of people these days, I do not care for blue humor themed shows at all. This includes shows like Family guy (hate it), the Simpsons, Futurama, South Park etc. in my opinion, they're incredibly obnoxious, shallow and degrading (translation: I think they're total garbage). I understand many people would disagree with me about this and that's fine (translation: I don't give a $@#!)... but my opinions about such TV shows will not change. Don't try to explain to me why I should give these shows a chance or convert me---I've heard it all before and I'm not interested. Bringing these shows up at all in a conversation with me will more than likely end the conversation (translation: Blocklist! Go!). I have nothing to say about them and don't want to hear about them.
So yeah, needless to say... if such shows are a huge part of your life, then we probably won't get along. If I do message you and you feel like this could cause problems between us, please simply point it out and I won't bother you again. Thanks.
Movies: The Game (1997), The Crow, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia movies, most Star Trek movies (I hate the new movies). I like just about any movie that's medieval fantasy related and/or has a smart plot and intelligent, realistic acting. I also like some anime movies. I can't stand movies that have a terrible plot and terrible acting and depend solely on physically attractive actors and special effects etc. I generally don't care for comedies either... especially comedies with lots of blue humor. Go look up "blue humor" on Wikipedia if you don't know what that means.
Anime: Blood+, Hunter x Hunter, Avatar: The Last Air Bender, Kiba and Guin. Those are my current top five favorite animes. If you like fantasy anime and haven't seen any of those, you should definitely check them out.
In no particular order I've also enjoyed... Wolf's Rain, Fairy Tail, Sword Art Online, 12 Kingdoms, Chrono Crusade, Suzuka, Scrapped Princess, Black Cat, Kyo Kara Maoh, Elemental Gelade, Junjou Romantica, Inuyasha, Ragnarok the Animation, Hero Tales, Last Exile, Vandread, Legend of the Legendary Heroes and Romeo X Juliet ... that's about all I can think of at the moment but I have watched more anime than that.
Music: I tend to like orchestrated rock and such. Some of my favorite bands include Within Temptation, old Nightwish and some songs from Xandria and old Evanescence songs. I hate rap.
Food: I love Italian and just about anything that's good and good for you.
Video Games: Let's see... I like and play JRPG's mainly. Some of my favorite RPG's are: Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Ogre Battle 64, FFT, FF1, FF6, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Lufia, Suikoden 2, Suikoden 3, Suikoden 5, Breath of Fire 3, Legend of Dragoon, some Fire Emblem games, Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 and Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3. I know the last two series's are survival horror games but I consider them to also be RPG's because of how they play out and their focus on storyline and character development. As far as I'm concerned, the Resident Evil series ended with Code:Veronica and the Silent Hill series ended with Silent Hill 4. I've definitely played more games than that but those are the main ones coming to mind at the moment.
I also like some PC games, like Neverwinter Nights, Evil Genius and Mount and Blade and older, turn-based, strategy, PC games like Lords of Magic and Age of Wonders... and maybe an occasional RTS game like Age of Empires. I have also played several MMO's over the years. EQ1, EQ2, Lineage 2, Guild Wars, Ragnarok Online, Age of Conan... and some others. Though, I don't play them much anymore.
I know most of these games are pretty ancient now... but yeah, I always preferred the style that rpg's and other games from the 90's and early 2000's had I guess. I don't like many newer games these days.
As for newer games... I like Rune Factory 3 and 4. Legend of Heroes: Trails In The Sky was a good game for the most part, I'm interested to see where that series goes. Skyrim was fun for a while I guess... but I can't compare it to other Elder Scrolls games since I haven't played the older ones. I guess I really prefer more linear, J-RPG style games with good stories over open world games.
Cry of Fear was a great indie game. I felt like it totally captured the true essence and spirit of survival horror that's been otherwise, completely forgotten in present day games.
Can't really think of any other newer games I've played and/or like at the moment...

-You do not use netspeak.
-Your greatest skill or ability is NOT the fact that you can make people laugh. I'm so tired of seeing this on people's profiles across every profile website I've ever used in my life. It's so uncreative. I'm looking for potential friends not entertainers. I'm perfectly capable of entertaining myself, I don't need anyone else to do that. I'm also perfectly capable of joking around and I definitely have a healthy sense of humor but I also understand there's a whole lot more to life than that and I'm looking for friends who understand that as well. After all, anyone can joke around and make you laugh,... but it takes a special kind of person to take you seriously and have some respect for you. That's what I'm looking for... and what I have to offer in return, for those who I eventually call "friend".
-You don't regularly use "Hehe" in every other sentence of your e-mails and online conversations. (I tend to see this as a sign of general immaturity.)
-You did not type the words "have fun" more than 18 times in your profile. (Seriously, people need to stop with the: "I like to have fun."/"I'm looking for someone who likes to have fun"/"Message me if you like to have fun". etc. etc. What does that even mean? Is that really the limit of most people's vocabulary and/or imagination?)
-Your existence does not revolve around blue humor. (Look it up on Wikipedia if you don't know what that means.)
-You don't expect me to... "keep up with you". Every time I see someone saying this on their profile it definitely earns an eye brow raise from me and probably a hasty exit from their profile. It's one of the most self absorbed and egotistical things you can say to someone. People that say things like that don't want friends or partners... they want minions.
-You see life as being much more than just a game or a joke.
-You are a Fantasy Writer. (Let's write something together!)
-You enjoy being a part of long-term instant messenger roleplay stories.
-You are not a con-artist.
-You are not really an idiot.
-you can't stand facebook and twitter. (I hate them)
-You know how to take care of yourself.
-We have some common interests.
-You are trustworthy and dependable.
-You care about people.
-You are not a self-centered, narcissistic, god complex, Machiavellist fool. (I've met far, far too many of those.)
-You are not a gold digger. (I'm poor anyway---or maybe I'm not? That's for me to know and you to, possibly, find out... )
-You hate rap.
-You are passionate about, or at least very interested in, classic fantasy, like "Dungeons and Dragons" type stuff. (I love that stuff.)
-You are smart, logical and don't believe everything you hear.
-You see yourself as a wise and open minded individual.
-You are not a Sociopath.
-You don't prefer to be depressed and make everyone else just as depressed as you.
-You are a problem solver.
-You believe love is one of the most powerful and greatest forces in existence.
-See #8 on my "Quick Tips About Me" list at the very top of the profile.
(I may add to this.)
