I was ridiculed many years ago by my best friend for bringing a pot of Nivea cream to our Venezuelan beach vacation. When I asked her rub it in to my sunburned back (I know, I know… but it was the 80s), she took a (I am still convinced) malicious glee in the way she had to really, really massage to get it to absorb. In disgust, she dismissed my Nivea cream as a "tub of lard." It was a painful experience on many levels, and I was reminded of it when tried out Sciote Polynesian Body Crème ($50).
Yep, a tub of lard. Even though my sunbathing days are over, rubbing Sciote's Polynesian Body Crème into my skin was a lengthy and uncomfortable experience. Now, I am a body butter woman, tending to prefer a richer treatment for body compared to a lotion. But Sciote's is simply too dense to be absorbed without adding minutes of rubbing – enough to make my skin smart – to my post-shower routine.
It isn't just the consistency that puts me off; I also am underwhelmed by the ingredients. Bearing in mind that Sciote typically formulates with a long list of natural ingredients and anti-aging actives, Polynesian Body Crème almost seems to have been made by another company. There are some decent oils and butters here, but nothing is really a standout. The most dominant is cocoa butter, which, it must be noted, is a fairly hard butter. Cupuaçu butter, on the other hand, is softer, and I feel that the formula might benefit from switching these two ingredients around.
My final beef with the tub of lard is that I fail to appreciate what is Polynesian about it. None of the ingredients hail from those idyllic Pacific isles. Not even the scents, which are named (a bit bizarrely) after towns in Italy.
I read your review on the Sciote Body Creme and I am astounded by your verbiage.
"Tub of lard" is a bit harsh as I use the body creme on a daily basis. It's the only product that heals my skin especially in the fall and winter months. I love the texture of this product and how it absorbs into my skin. I also use the body lotion when I want something more sheer and lightweight and I love this product too. I have tried many products for my dry skin and this works for me.

This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/507,261, filed of even date, relating to novel polyether amides made from polyethylene glycol diamines and dicarboxylic acids, and methods therefor.
The invention relates to novel polyamides, and, in one aspect, more particularly relates to novel polyamides, particularly nylons, having polyether groups prepared by the reaction of dicarboxylic acids with polyethylene glycol diamines.
It is well known that polyamides such as nylon-5, nylon-6, nylon-8, and nylon-12 have been produced by ring-opening polymerization of appropriate lactams. Nylon-6, also called polycaprolactam, was originated by I. G. Farbenindustrie in 1940. In one preparation technique, the polymerization of ε-caprolactam (also known as ε-aminocaprolactam or simply caprolactam), is carried out by adding water to open the ring and then removing water again at elevated temperature, where linear polymer forms. ε-Caprolactam may also be polymerized by ionic chain mechanisms.
Nylon-6 has properties similar to nylon-66, but has a lower crystalline melting point and is somewhat softer and less stiff. The major use for the polymer is in tire cord. Polycaprolactam accounts for about 25% of U.S. consumption of nylon.
Nylon-6 has been modified to improve its properties. See, for example, R. A. Lofquist, et al., "Hydrophilic Nylon for Improved Apparel Comfort," Textile Research Journal, June 1985, pp. 325-333 which teaches that a cotton-like moisture absorption level can be achieved by incorporating a telechelic water soluble segment, such as an amine-terminated polyethylene oxide (PEOD), into the nylon backbone, or grafting onto the nylon chain a low molecular weight poly(dimethylacryl-amide) (PDMAA). The JEFFAMINE® ED-Series amines were used as the amine-terminated polyethylene oxide glycols to produce a modified nylon-6. These amines are high molecular weight (600 to 2000) alkylene glycol diamines having the formula H2 NRNH2, where the radical R is a polyoxyalkylene chain of molecular weight of from about 200 to about 4000 having terminal carbon atoms to which nitrogen atoms are bonded. Moisture absorption was found to be greatest using the amines having the highest molecular weight.
See also European Patent 0 163 902 A1 which relates to high polymeriza-tion degree polyetheresteramides having no gelated materials and superior color tones. These polyamides are apparently quickly obtained through the polycondensing interaction carried out between (a) one or more than two polyamide forming components selected from lactams and aminocarboxylic acids as well as the salts of substantially equal quantities of diamines and dicarboxylic acid, and (b) the polyetherester forming components consisting of substantially equal quantities of dicarboxylic acids and poly(alkylene oxide) glycols, in the presence of 0.001 to 0.5 percent by weight of the mixtures composed of antimony oxides/organic tin compounds, and more preferably, in the co-presence of 0.0005 to 0.5 percent by weight of phosphoric compounds.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,454,534 indicates that the hydrophilic characteristics of nylon 66 may be improved by adding a polyakylene glycol diamine to the molten polymer prior to spinning. The process involves producing polyhexamethylene adipamide where equimolar proportions of adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine are reacted together to form molten polyhexamethylene adipamide. The improvement involved introducing from about 0.3 to 3.0 weight percent of a polyalkylene glycol diamine into the molten polymer subsequent to polymer formation and prior to spinning. The polyalkylene glycol diamine has the formula: H2 N--(CH2)3 --O--[R--O]x --(CH2)3 --NH2 where R is an alkylene hydrocarbon radical having a chain length of from 2 to about 8 carbon atoms, and x is an integer sufficiently large to confer a molecular weight of at least 1000. Note that propylene linkages are required and that the polyalkylene glycol diamine must have a molecular weight of at least 1000.
A new class of linear nitrogen-containing copolymers and especially elastic products are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,044,987. The substantially linear segmented copolymer consists of a multiplicity of intralinear segments of two classes connected by ester linkages, where the segments of the first class are the residues remaining after removal of the terminal ester-forming functional groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, thiol, carboxyl, and acid halide from a difunctional polymer. The segments of the second class contain at least one repeating unit of a fiber-forming polymer, including a radical containing terminal nitrogens. The diamines suggested in this patent do not contain ether linkages.
Block copolymers of poly(oxa-amide) and polyamide are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,113,794; 4,130,602 and 4,136,133. The '794 patent discusses novel copolymers formed by melt blending a melt spinnable polyamide, such as nylon-6, and a block of random poly(dioxa-amide), such as a copolymer prepared from the mixture of caprolactam and the salt of adipic acid and 4,7-dioxadecamethylene diamine. Block copolymers formed by melt blending a melt spinnable polyamide such as nylon-6 and a poly(dioxa-amide) such as poly(4,7-dioxadecamethylene adipamide) is disclosed in the '602 patent. The '133 patent teaches block copolymers formed by melt blending a melt spinnable polyamide such as nylon-6 and a poly(oxa-amide) such as poly(4-oxaheptamethylene adipamide). As examples only, in the '133 patent, the poly(oxa-amide) groups have the formula: ##STR1## where R1, R2 and R3 are hydrogen, C1 -C10 alkyls and C3 -C10 isoalkyls; R4 is selected from the group consisting of C0 -C10 alkylenes and C3 -C10 isoalkylenes, where y may range from 4 to 200. All of these materials are noted to have utility as fibers.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,044,071 and 4,045,511 describe methods for making the copolymers discussed in the previous paragraph. The '071 patent teaches a process for forming block copolymers by mixing a dry salt of a prepolyamide and a molten melt-spinnable polyamide. The mixture is heated to a temperature in the range of between the melting point of the higher melting component of the mixture to below the amide-interchange temperature of a blend of the melt-spinnable polyamide and the homopolymer which would result from the polymerization of the salt. Mixing and heating is continued until substantially all of the salt and the polyamide are converted into a block copolymer. The '511 patent teaches a similar process, but one that is lower in energy and uses a blend of dry particles of a melt-spinnable polyamide, rather than using the polyamide in the molten state.
Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 4,297,454 teaches a method for preparing a block copolymer of an ether-free polylactam and a polyetheramide, e.g., poly(4,7-dioxadecamethylene adipamide) involving polymerizing a lactam, e.g., caprolactam, in contact with the polyetheramide. At least one of the lactam and the polyetheramide are molten during the lactam polymerization and block copolymer formation. The materials prepared appear similar to those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. '794; '602 and '133, described above. Examples of polyetheramides mentioned in the '454 patent include poly(4,7-dioxadecamethylene adipamide), poly(4,7-dioxadecamethylene sebacamide), poly(4,9-dioxadodecamethylene adipamide), poly(4,8-dioxa-6,6-dimethylundecamethylene adipamide), poly(4,7-dioxa-2,9-dimethyldodecamethylene adipamide), poly(4,7-dioxadecamethylene-2-methylene adipamide), poly(4-oxaheptamethylene adipamide), and poly(4-oxa-2,6-dimethylmonomethylene adipamide).
Although nylon-6 has been incrementally improved as shown by the publications discussed above as examples, there remains a need for new polyamides having improved water absorbancy, but which retain the beneficial properties of the original polyamide materials, in this case, nylon-6.
Triethylene and tetraethylene glycol diamines may be continuously produced from glycols catalytically. The triethylene glycol diamine and tetraethylene glycol diamine products are known under the trade names JEFFAMINE® EDR-148 Amine and JEFFAMINE® EDR-192 Amine, respectively, as made by Texaco Chemical Co. These materials are useful as epoxy curing agents.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a nylon-6 material having improved water absorbancy, and/or which are soluble in water.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel nylon-6 polyamide made from very specific polyethylene glycol diamines and dicarboxylic acids.
Another object of the invention to provide a method for making the modified nylon-6 that is easily implemented.
In carrying out these and other objects of the invention, there is provided, in one form, modified nylon-6 produced by the process of first mixing a dicarboxylic acid, or esters thereof, with a relatively low molecular weight ethylene glycol diamine having the formula NH2 --(CH2 CH2 O)x --CH2 CH2 --NH2, where x ranges from 2 to 3, to form an intermediate; and then reacting the intermediate with ε-caprolactam to form the modified nylon-6.
It has been surprisingly discovered that nylon-6 may be modified to produce copolyamides having improved water absorption by the incorporation of only certain relatively low molecular weight polyethylene glycol diamines, such as JEFFAMINE® EDR amines, in particular triethylene glycol diamine and tetraethylene glycol diamine. Unexpectedly, not all low molecular weight materials are equally effective. For example, bis-aminoethyl ether (BAEE) differs from triethylene glycol diamine by only one --(CH2 CH2 O)-- group, but surprisingly gives weak fibers.
These novel copolyamides are useful in applications where good water absorption is desired, such as fabrics, where it is known that some incorporation of moisture is useful in reducing the tendency of the fabric to carry an undesirable static charge. Additionally, most of the modified nylon-6 materials are also quite flexible. The water absorption of the copolyamides increases with increasing polyethylene glycol amide content. The copolyamides can be made water soluble when the adipamide of the polyethylene glycol diamine is added in large amounts.
The novel polyether amides of this invention can probably be made according to a number of different reactions. Generally, ε-caprolactam is reacted with the reaction product (including the salt thereof) of a dicarboxylic acid and an ethylene glycol diamine having the formula NH2 --(CH2 CH2 O)x --CH2 CH2 --NH2, where x ranges from only 2 to 3. The examples herein use the process where the diamine and the dibasic acid are mixed together to form a salt which is in turn reacted with ε-caprolactam. The definition of "reacting" is meant herein to include the formation of these salts by mixing at room temperature or elevated temperatures. However, the diamine and the dibasic acid could be reacted to form a prepolymer, an amidoacid or an amidoamine, which would, in turn, be reacted with ε-caprolactam to form the modified nylon-6.
The polyether amides of this invention must use the polyethylene glycol diamines having the formula NH2 --(CH2 CH2 O)x --CH2 CH2 --NH2, where x must range from 2 to 3. When x is 1, bis-aminoethyl ether (BAEE) is the diamine, and it was unexpectedly discovered that BAEE gave a poor product, in contrast to the case where x is 2 or 3. Specifically, weak fiber was obtained in the case where BAEE/terephthalic acid was used. It is possible that a side reaction, the cyclization of BAEE to morpholine occurred: ##STR2## although the exact problem is not positively known. In addition, the resulting copolyamides are relatively thermally unstable. The thermal gravimetric analysis showed significant weight losses at higher temperatures.
When x is 2 in the above formula, the diamine is triethylene glycol diamine, marketed as JEFFAMINE® EDR-148 amine, and when x is 3, the compound is tetraethylene glycol diamine, marketed as JEFFAMINE EDR-192 amine, both sold by Texaco Chemical Co. It is anticipated that other diamines may be used in conjunction with these diamines to give modified nylons within the scope of this invention. In particular, JEFFAMINE ED-Series amines (diterminal diamines of mixed polyoxypropylene and polyoxyethylene having a molecular weight of 600 or greater), which are commercially available products, may be considered as coreactants herein.
Some prior materials use only ED-Series-type amines. There are advantages to using the relatively lower molecular weight EDR amines over the ED-Series amines. The low molecular weight EDR amines can be distilled to produce a pure product, and pure products are important in nylon production; as contrasted with the ED-Series amines which cannot be distilled. Further, use of the EDR amines helps maintain the integrity of the original structure, giving materials having more predictable properties, as compared with those formed using the higher molecular weight ED-Series amines.
The other essential coreactant is the dicarboxylic acid, which may have the formula HOOC--R--COOH where R may be an alkyl or an aryl moiety having from 3 to 34 carbon atoms in one embodiment, in one aspect from 4 to 20 carbon atoms, and in a further aspect from 4 to 9. In another aspect of the invention, the dicarboxylic acid may be selected from the group including, but not necessarily limited to, adipic acid, pimelic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, dodecanedioic acid, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, t-butyl isophthalic acid and mixtures thereof, which all fall within the formula definition. Adipic acid is a particularly preferred dicarboxylic acid. The esters of these acids may also be used.
As noted, the novel copolyamides may be made directly by contacting ε-caprolactam with a salt of the ethylene glycol diamine and the dicarboxylic acid (kept in 1:1 mole ratio) in the presence of heat, from approximately 230° to about 280° C. as a narrower range, where a broad temperature range for this reaction is from about 200° to about 300° C. No catalyst is required for this reaction, although one may be yet discovered that might prove beneficial. The reaction may also be conducted at atmospheric pressure. The reaction is quite selective, yielding the modified nylon-6 materials in nearly quantitative yield. The products are generally light-colored solids. The produts and methods of this invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples.
To a test tube were added 3.001 g. of ε-caprolactam, 0.595 g. of terephthalic acid/JEFFAMINE EDR-148 amine salt, and 2.0 g. of water. The test tube was placed into a glass reactor equipped with a nitrogen purging tube. The reactor was heated to 170° C. for 30 minutes, and then at 260° C. for five hours. A yellow, brittle solid was obtained. The product was pulled into fibers. In this manner, Examples 2 through 12 were also performed. The properties of the products from these Examples are given in Table I.
In general, the amount of water absorbed depends on both the amide content and the oxygen content. The water absorption of the copolyamides increases with increasing relative amount of salt charged. At the same weight ratio, the case of EDR-192 amine shows better water absorption than the case of EDR-148 amine because of the higher oxygen content in the case of the EDR-192 amine. In one aspect, the proportion of salt in the salt and ε-caprolactam mixture ranges from about 5 to about 50, more preferably from about 10 to about 30.

text: Posted May 21, 2012 First off, we want to thank our users for keeping us on our toes over the past few months with the PlayBook, in particular PlayBookUser and Metroside, and many of the users in this thread, for continuing to maintain the pressure and engagement with us concerning Evernote for the Playbook. The process internally has been a long one, and we know that we have owed our users official messaging concerning the Playbook for some time.With regard to the bug that has been essentially hobbling Evernote for the PB, this will be fixed soon, getting us back to a functioning version of EN on the PlayBook. In the mean time, we will be pulling the app from BlackBerry App World until the fix is confirmed.The referenced thread above also contains some good discussion involving sideloading the Android version of Evernote onto the Playbook as a potential workaround. We've always believed in developing native apps that work best on their intended platform. And while we think that sideloading is a workable option, it won't provide the full BB experience, and users with a sideloaded version of Evernote will experience a number of limitations, including lack of camera support and the maps API (places feature), amongst other deficiencies. In short, there are limitations, and we wouldn't want to officially release anything that has that kind of reduced functionality.Again, we'd like to thank you all for your continuing patience, and we hope this at least provides more information around an impending fix for current PB issues. More to come. 4 people like this Share this post Link to post

In the last months, the San Andreas Police are found some destroyed stolen cars, Glendale, out of the routes of the San Andreas. The police found 9 stolen cars in total in the state. Was a really mystery for the police of the state to found the thieves, but, in the last moment, some street police surveillance video cameras maked some photos of 2 members of the gang street, Varrios Los Aztecas, located in El Corona, driving a stolen destroyed Glendale. The police arrested the 2 membres of the gang street and any Glendale was stolen or destroyed.Read more >
Esperado is a vehicle in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It is a 2 door, a very rare sport car around the State of San Andreas.
The structure of Esperado was formated from the mixture of the Aston Martin V series, specially V8 and V12 and the model Rapide.
Acceleration is average due to a small (likely 4 or 6-cylinder) engine being matched to a front-wheel drivetrain, but pulling a small curb weight. What is truly disappointing about this car, though, is the significant lack of speed that would be expected from the light frame. Handling is average, but the car exhibits understeer. Brakes tend on the weak side, but are effective due to the light chassis and inability to reach very high speeds. Also due to its light weight, every time it changes…

Groton — Pete Chappell, who owns a business and a home in Poquonnock Bridge, said he can't afford increased fire district taxes, but he also believes the increase is misunderstood.
The proposed annual fire district tax rate in Poquonnock Bridge - 9.5 mills - would cost the owner of a home with the district's median value of $100,100 $950.95 per year.
Chappell will attend the annual meeting to find out what's going on, he said. He doesn't know yet how he will vote.
Poquonnock Bridge's Fire District Board on Tuesday approved a budget of about $6.36 million for the coming fiscal year, which would raise the district tax rate from 5.2 mills to 9.5 mills. One mill is equal to $1 of tax for each $1,000 of assessed value.
Fire district President Alan Ackley said he had to approve the budget even though he doesn't support it. He said the district had no choice because it's awaiting a court decision on a disputed 10-year labor contract with the firefighters' union and could lose that battle.
"As a taxpayer, I'm totally against this budget, but, unfortunately, I'm legally bound to do it," he said.
The head of the union, Kale Kiley, meanwhile has refused to offer any public comment.
Ackley and the union leadership have been feuding for a year over issues that have affected the department's finances and operations.
Taxpayers must set the coming year's budget at an annual meeting by the end of May. The date, time and place of the meeting have not been set.
Ackley said a lawyer will preside over the meeting, which last year turned into an ugly scene in which people yelled, swore and stormed out. This year, residents will vote the proposed budget up or down, then consider amended figures if needed, Ackley said.
District board member Deborah Montiero said she believes the budget proposal could have been lower. It includes money for volunteer training and uniforms and $1 million for post employment health and life insurance benefits, she said. These amounts could have been reduced to make the budget more palatable, she said.
The proposed district spending plan would meet the obligations of the disputed 10-year union contract if the fire district board loses its case. The Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations recently reaffirmed its decision that the contract stands, so a Superior Court judge must decide the outcome. The Town of Groton has petitioned to intervene in the appeal, but the judge hasn't decided what extent to allow.
The proposed spending plan would maintain cuts to the fire district that have been in place since last year. The Fort Hill Station would remain closed. Firefighters would continue to respond to medical calls using a pickup truck rather than an engine.
Chris Stearns, a volunteer with the Old Mystic Fire Department, said he believes this shouldn't be done.
"If they're on a medical call and come across an accident or a fire, now what? I've got to call mutual aid or go back to (the station) to get an engine? That shouldn't be," he said. "That should not be out on the road."
One firefighter and the fire marshal retired in the last year, but there will be no new hires.
Board member Ron Yuhas said he believes the district should include $1 million for post-employment benefits; otherwise it's digging itself more of a hole. But it's the taxpayers' decision, he said.
"If the town people hoot and holler and there's no money for it, there's no money for it," he said.
Taxpayers last year authorized $614,000 to buy a replacement pumper truck, but the money was not spent. It remains in a capital reserve fund, Fire Chief Todd Paige said. The district has five years to spend money on capital projects.
Paige said the district didn't know last year whether it would have firefighters to assign to an engine due to its financial crisis.

United States District Court, Ninth Circuit
May 9, 2013
Rich Chaidez, Plaintiff,v.Progressive Choice Insurance Company and Does 1-50, Defendants.
STATEMENT OF UNCONTROVERTED FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Re: DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE, FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT [14]
RONALD S.W. LEW, Senior District Judge.
After consideration of all the papers and arguments submitted pursuant to Defendant Progressive Choice Insurance Company's ("Defendant") Motion for Summary Judgment, or in the Alternative, for Partial Summary Judgment [14], the Court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law.
1. Defendant issued a policy of insurance to Plaintiff Rick Chaidez ("Plaintiff") for the policy period beginning August 4, 2009, and ending February 4, 2010, covering a 2002 Cadillac Escalade ("Vehicle"). Munyer Decl., §§ 1, 2, 4.
2. The policy issued to Plaintiff included a "Fraud or Misrepresentation" provision, which stated that "[Defendant] may deny coverage for an accident or loss if you or a person seeking coverage has concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance, or engaged in fraudulent conduct, in connection with the presentation or settlement of a claim." Id . §§ 4, 5, & Ex. B.
3. Plaintiff presented a claim to Defendant on or about September 23, 2009, in which Plaintiff claimed that the Vehicle was stolen. Id. at § 6.
4. Defendant's investigation of Plaintiff's claim, which took place from September 2009 through March 2010, included, inter alia, taking recorded and in-person statements from both Plaintiff and his cousin; reviewing documents and other supporting evidence provided by Plaintiff; conducting outside research as to the Vehicle's value and title and Plaintiff's credit; referring Plaintiff's claim to Progressive's Special Investigations Unit; interviewing the Vehicle's prior owner; and hiring outside counsel, Marvin Straus, to conduct an examination under oath with Plaintiff. Id . §§ 6-49; Azrael Decl. Ex. C ("Claim File").
5. During the claim investigation, Plaintiff made multiple inconsistent representations to Defendant regarding the Vehicle, such as when and where he purchased it and for how much. See generally Claim File.
6. On March 3, 2010, Mr. Straus sent Progressive Claims Representative Lindsey Munyer a letter recommending that Defendant deny Plaintiff's claim because Plaintiff had "misrepresented material facts during the presentation of the claim." Brown Decl., Ex. 2, p. 6.
7. Ms. Munyer called Plaintiff on March 16, 2010, and informed him that Defendant was denying his claim. Munyer Decl. § 46.
8. Ms. Munyer also sent Plaintiff a letter on March 25, 2010, explaining that Defendant was denying Plaintiff's claim because it appeared that Plaintiff had provided Defendant with an altered version of the Vehicle's original bill of sale and "knowingly misrepresented material facts associated with [his claim of] loss, " including the date that he purchased the Vehicle, the amount he paid for it, the condition of the Vehicle at the time of loss, and the prior loss history of Plaintiff's household. Id .; Claim File, p. 1026.
1. In order to establish a breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in the insurance context, a plaintiff must show that: "(1) benefits due under the policy [were] withheld; and (2) the reason for withholding benefits [was] unreasonable or without proper cause." Love v. Fire Ins. Exch. , 221 Cal.App.3d 1136, 1151 (1990).
2. "While the reasonableness of an insurer's claims-handling conduct is ordinarily a question of fact, it becomes a question of law where the evidence is undisputed and only one reasonable inference can be drawn from the evidence." Chateau Chamberay Homeowners Ass'n v. Associated Intern. Ins. Co. , 90 Cal.App.4th 335, 346 (2001).
3. Although Defendant withheld from Plaintiff benefits that were otherwise due to him under the insurance policy, Defendant cannot be held liable for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing as a result of such conduct if Defendant's withholding of benefits was "reasonable" under the circumstances. See Opdal v. United Services Auto. Ass'n. , 2 Cal.App.4th 1197, 1205 (1991).
4. There is substantial and rebutted evidence that during Defendant's claim investigation, Plaintiff made multiple inconsistent representations to Defendant regarding the Vehicle, such as when and where he purchased it and for how much, and although Plaintiff has since tried to explain away some of these inconsistencies, "the reasonableness of the insurer's decisions and actions must be evaluated as of the time that they were made... [not] in light of subsequent events which may provide evidence of the insurer's errors." Chateau Chamberay , 90 Cal.App.4th at 347.
5. Based on the evidence before the Court, only one inference can be drawn as to the reasonableness of Defendant's conduct: At the time that Defendant denied Plaintiff's claim, Defendant had a reasonable and legitimate basis for believing that Plaintiff was concealing or misrepresenting material facts in connection with his claim.
6. In light of the circumstances as they were at the time coverage was denied, Defendant's denial of coverage and withholding of requested benefits from Plaintiff pursuant to his policy's "Fraud and Misrepresentation" provision was reasonable as a matter of law, for no reasonable juror would find otherwise.
7. In determining whether an insurer's denial of benefits is reasonable, a court may also consider whether the insurance company relied on the advice of counsel. Cial Giuseppe, Inc. v. Reliance Ins. Co. , 74 F.3d 1245, at *2 (9th Cir. 1996) (Westlaw).
8. Having reviewed Mr. Straus's recommendation letter to Defendant, upon which Defendant relied in denying Plaintiff's claim, it is clear that Mr. Straus considered the relevant, undisputed facts of the claim investigation and concluded, not unreasonably, that Plaintiff misrepresented material facts pertaining to the acquisition of the Vehicle. See generally Brown Decl., Ex. 2.
9. Because Plaintiff's policy entitled Defendant to deny coverage if material facts were concealed or misrepresented during the claims process, Defendant's reliance on counsel's advice to deny Plaintiff's claim was reasonable, thereby precluding Defendant from bad faith liability. See Andrade v. Infinity Ins. Co., No. EDCV0801060-SGL (OPX), 2009 WL 3427928, at *3 (C.D. Cal. Sept. 14, 2009).
10. An insurer's denial of benefits may also be deemed reasonable as a matter of law when benefits were withheld because of the insurer's "genuine dispute with its insured as to the existence of coverage liability...." Chateau Chamberay , 90 Cal.App.4th at 347.
11. In light of the various inconsistencies Plaintiff made to Defendant while presenting his claim, the "Fraud and Misrepresentation" provision in Plaintiff's policy, and Mr. Straus's advice that Plaintiff's claim be denied, the basis for Defendant's denial of benefits was reasonable, which entitles Defendant to judgment as a matter of law under the genuine dispute rule. Amadeo v. Principal Mut. Life Ins. Co. , 290 F.3d 1152, 1161-62 (9th Cir. 2002).
12. "In order to establish that an insurer's conduct has gone sufficiently beyond mere bad faith to warrant a punitive award, it must be shown by clear and convincing evidence that the insurer has acted maliciously, oppressively or fraudulently." Mock v. Mich. Millers Mut. Ins. Co. , 4 Cal.App.4th 306, 328 (1992) (emphasis in original).
13. Because Defendant is entitled to summary adjudication on Plaintiff's bad faith claim, which is Plaintiff's one and only claim, Defendant, as a matter of law, cannot be found to have engaged in malicious, oppressive, or fraudulent conduct. See Herbert v. State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co., No. C 06-05532 SBA, 2008 WL 425491, at *9 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 14, 2008), aff'd 362 Fed.Appx. 748 (9th Cir. 2010).
14. Additionally, Defendant is entitled to summary adjudication on Plaintiff's claim for punitive damages because Plaintiff has presented no evidence showing that Defendant acted out of malice, oppression, or fraud.
15. Based on the foregoing, Defendant is entitled to summary judgment on Plaintiff's claim for bad faith denial of benefits and on Plaintiff's demand for punitive damages.

Comments about Avon Anew Advanced All-In-One Max SPF 15:
Well, I've been Using Avon products for a while now. And as I am addicted to their deals and offers, I signed up as a Representative :) What I can say about this one is that is a great, great cream! All the Anew products are over the top. Especially the eye cream, is the only one eye cream that I can say it does make a difference. Love Anew! And my mother loves the Anew Ultimate creams, they are a great value for their price!
Comments about Avon Anew Advanced All-In-One Max SPF 15:
I have been using the anew anti-age line for about two years now. I love everything I try from this line. the lotions are never heavy or oily!! This lotion is lightweight and absorbs quickly into my skin! I use this during the day and sometimes even before I go to bed. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a skin care line that has a great reputation!!
Comments about Avon Anew Advanced All-In-One Max SPF 15:
I bought this early this year and used the whole jar. After about two weeks I saw a difference in my skin--it was smoother, softer, less irritated. I thought it was just my imagination because I had never seen results from a moisturizer before. I switched back to my old ways and that's when I really noticed the difference. The ANEW all in one max really helps keep my skin balanced and smooth but my old stuff didn't. So I'm stickig with all in one max from now on! Funny thing is my teenage son is using the Anew products too for his acne. Love it!! Plus my Avon rep (sgauldin) is awesome - between her discount and Avon sales I am always able to get this at such a great bargain
Comments about Avon Anew Advanced All-In-One Max SPF 15:
Avon has unfortunately discontinued this wonderful product that so many of us have been loyal users of for years-----everyone who wants Avon to bring this product back should call Avon Consumer Information Center @ 1-800-445-2866 (M-F 8am-6pm EST) & put in their request to bring this product back-------Avon does sometimes listen if they get enough requests to bring a product back by popular demand.
Comments about Avon Anew Advanced All-In-One Max SPF 15:
I love Avon Anew Advanced all-in-one Max self adjusting perfecting lotion!! I have been using one form or another of Avon wrinkle cream for about ten years now and I would never be without it. My skin is sensitive and I am picky about what I put on my face. I am a forty four year old grandmother and when I tell this to people they all have the same comment. I don't look old enough to have grandchildren! Every day after cleansing my face with another Avon product I apply this lotion to my face and neck. When I first started using it I had fine lines around my eyes, nose and cheek area and above my mouth. I noticed within about a month that the lines were almost totally gone. The creases in my forehead and between my eyes were even greatly diminished! This is one product that I never run out of and it is totally worth paying for. I will continue to use Avon Anew products probably for the rest of my life.
Comments about Avon Anew Advanced All-In-One Max SPF 15:
I have been using avon anew products since they have been on the market, I love them one of my customers is a rep and believe me they work. I have been complemented on my skin and my youthfull apearance I'm so glad to have avon in mi life. Every time I can get my hands on a outlet book from them i'm in heaven. I give avon to all my friends as gifts and the anew always has specials on their products, you can get purses full of the products and give them as gifts throughout the year to all your friends. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the upcoming season in anew products. Christmas is only 90 days away let's see what I can give my family and friends this christmal season. I only wish the had an anew fairy that would give me free products at least once a season. then my life would be complete. Wow that would be fantastic does anyone agree with me or what? Thanks Avon I'm a hardcore fan.Jan Elcoate
Comments about Avon Anew Advanced All-In-One Max SPF 15:
I have used Avon's Anew all in one lotion for about 15 years now. I use it in the morning's under my makeup as my daily moisturizer. I believe this cream has really helped reduce the fine lines and wrinkles. I am 57 years old and often I'm told I look much younger for my age.I love the SPF value of the product. I work under "office Lighting" which can be hard on the skin also. I never worry about it though and I also don't worry about being in the sun. I'm not often in the sun but when I have to be out and about town, I feel very secure knowing my face is getting protection from the UV rays of the sun. The lotion is very light. I have oily skin so I use the lotion type cream. The smell is pleasant and it glides on smoothly and evenly. I also like the heavy glass bottle it comes in and the easy dispensing of the lid. Two quick pumps of the bottle is enough to cover my face, leaving if protected and warding off wrinkles. I will use my Anew all in on lotion for another 15 years and more!

A Canadian Casualty Group for the Attack at Liri Valley 1944
1939-1945 Star; Italy Star; Canadian Volunteer Service Medal with Overseas Clasp; and War Medal 1939-1945. Un-mounted, un-named, original ribbons, in their cardboard boxes of issue (some damaged) and his Birks Memorial Bar (sterling silver, officially engraved (PTE. R.M. NYVOLL / L. EDMN. R. / DIED IN HIS COUNTRY'S SERVICE / 24 MAY 1944), 14.5 mm x 67 mm, on its original card folder with envelope). Extremely fine. Accompanied by copies of his Index Card, Attestation Paper, Service Records, Official Canadian Army Overseas Casualty Notification, Awards Card, along with assorted research papers. Footnote: Rasmus Matheas Nyvoll was born on August 2, 1909 in Aalfot, Nordfjord, Norway, the son of Olai Nyvoll and Anna Nyvoll. Not only was he a native of Norway, he could converse, read and write in Norwegian, as well as in English and later immigrated to Canada. He was a resident of Ucluelet, British Columbia when he signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (K68860) on October 1, 1942 at Central Station No. XI Recruiting Detachment, No. 11 District Depot, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the age of 33, naming his next-of-kin as his friend, Mr. Frank Arnfinsen of Port Albion, British Columbia, stating that he had no previous military service, that he was Single, that his religion was Lutheran and that his trade as that of Hard Rock Miner. Two weeks later, he was posted to No. 110 Canadian Army (Basic) Training Centre at Vernon, British Columbia, on October 15th. Nyvoll was admitted to Vernon Military Hospital on three occasions in late 1942 and early 1943 (October 27th - November 2nd, 1942; November 7th to December 12th, 1942; January 27th to February 4th, 1943), although his records do not indicate as to why. A week after his third stint in hospital, he was transferred to A-16 Canadian Infantry Training Centre in Calgary, Alberta on February 10, 1943. After two months training, he was struck off strength of A-16 CITC on proceeding for Special Duty overseas on May 9th. Nyvoll departed Canada for overseas service on May 14, 1943, arriving in the United Kingdom on May 22nd and was taken on strength of No. 1 Canadian Infantry Reinforcement Unit the following day. One month after arriving in the United Kingdom, he was taken on strength of The Loyal Edmonton Regiment, on July 22, 1943, in preparation for service with the Regiment in Italy. He disembarked the United Kingdom for the Mediterranean theatre on August 16th, arriving there on the 27th. Nyvoll was hospitalized again, as he was admitted to No. 5 Canadian Field Ambulance on December 8, 1943, then transferred to No. 216 Field Ambulance and placed on the X3 List upon being admitted "sick" to hospital as of December 9, 1943. He was transferred to No. 18 Casualty Clearing Station on December 17th but after three weeks, and now into the new year, he was admitted to No. 3 Canadian Field Dressing Station on January 4, 1944 for another sixteen days treatment, before being discharged on the 20th. Again, none of the records indicate as to why he was hospitalized, other than the fact that he was "sick". After his discharge from No. 3 Canadian Field Dressing Station, he was posted to the X4 List (2nd Battalion) on January 21, 1944 and returned to the 4th Battalion, The Loyal Edmonton Regiment on February 16, 1944. He was awarded the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal with Overseas Clasp on April 14, 1944. Private Nyvoll, The Loyal Edmonton Regiment was with the Allied force that moved northward into Central Italy, where it encountered the formidable German defence network known as the "Hitler Line". The commander of the British 8th Army, General Sir Oliver Leese, chose Lieutenant-General E.L.M. Burns and his 1st Canadian Corps to lead the assault on the Hitler Line. The corps consisted of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division and the 5th Canadian Armoured Division. On May 23, 1944, the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division had broken through the defences near the town of Pontecorvo. Private Nyvoll, The Loyal Edmonton Regiment, Royal Canadian Infantry Corps was wounded on May 23, 1944 and died from his wounds the following day, May 24, 1944, at the age of 34. The day he died, the search for the dead and wounded began, as bodies of thirty-seven The Loyal Edmonton Regiment soldiers were picked up. Later that day, the 1st Canadian Division pushed northward, supported by the 5th Canadian Armoured Division. After crossing the Melfa River on May 24th, the 1st Canadian Corps pursued the retreating German forces northward. The campaign ended a week after Nyvoll died, as The Loyal Edmonton Regiment occupied the Italian town of Frosinone on May 31st. He is buried in Minturno War Cemetery, three kilometres S.E. of Minturno, Italy and about 78 kilometres from Naples, Grave Reference: Plot IV. Row K. Grave 5. and is commemorated on page 406 of the Second World War Book of Remembrance. For his Second World War service, he was awarded the 1939-1945 Star, the Italy Star, the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal with Overseas Clasp and the War Medal 1939-1945. His Canadian Message was despatched on June 22, 1944 and his burial report was sent to his next-of-kin, his friend, Mr. Frank Arnfinsen, on July 28, 1945.

actually, i would have been happier in a pup tent.
this place was straight up disgusting. rolled in with my husband and three kids ready for a fun weekend in the dells and instead got a nasty room with dog feces stomped into one end of the carpet and food, toilet paper, and other unidentifiable bits of garbage stomped into the rest of the carpet. beds looked like a crime scene had unfolded on them. mattresses full of stains and bed spreads were old and unwashed. rooms smelled like mildew and mold. bathrooms were about the grossest things i've ever been in. we could not understand why the windows were cracked open when it was nearly 101 degrees outside. it became apparent when we shut the window. the room filled up with a stench we could not identify that appeared to be coming from the restroom. air conditioner did not work properly. we asked to change rooms and were switched to another room that was also disgusting but cooler.
our toddler was covered in a black film from crawling about on the floor. his hands, feet, and legs had a black tint that i could get off easily with soap and water in the bath, and it came from the carpet in the room! super yuck! the pools are a joke. each are gross in their own way, but neither had a filter running while i was there. green and vile. hair balls bobbing along in each. the "picnic" area is a dilapidated picnic bench and a broke down bbq like from a state park out behind the motel. don't get your hopes up. it's nothing special at all. the hot tub was a boarded up hole in the ground while we were visiting as well.
nobody in our room felt like eating the continental breakfast because we were too busy killing the roaches in our room. that doesn't exactly make you want to run out and eat anything this place has to offer. it should probably be condemned.
the service was ridiculous bad. the front desk didn't seem to want to be bothered. to be honest, i wouldn't want to be them either. i never saw so many unhappy people in one place at one time. at our check in, there were at least three other people who either wanted different rooms or just wanted to leave. i couldn't understand why i was being charged BEFORE i even went to my room either, but once i saw i room... it made perfect sense. no one would stay if they saw the absolute squalor they were being forced to stay in. who would pay for that?!
better business bureau, people. this is false advertising. it claims to have been renovated. it's clearly not.

Please Login or Register Now About Description Lotteries are typically known for showing selfish wins (for example, receiving a big check with your name on it), which doesn't really have place around the holidays. The California Lottery wanted to change the way consumers think about Lottery Scratchers, but with every brand trying to capitalize on the magic of the holiday season, they needed to do something new and unexpected for them to stand out. Rather than try to sell a specific holiday-themed Scratchers ticket, we wanted to tap into that holiday spirit of heartwarming traditions, and include gifting Scratchers for the holidays. We wanted to turn Scratchers into a holiday movement.

Obituary: White, Edward Leo
Age 96
Family members were at his side.
He was born February 24, 1917 in Anaconda, MT., to William H. and Mary E. White.
Ed was born an identical twin with his brother Harold (Hank) who passed away on January 18, 2012.
The family moved from Anaconda to Seattle, WA., and back to Orvando, MT., before settling in Priest River, ID., in 1922.
He married his sister's good friend, Ruth N. Elder on July 18, 1937 in Sandpoint, ID.
Ruth passed away May 16, 2011 after 74 years of marriage to Ed.
Ed and Hank were inseparable growing up.
The two were championship Priest River loggers.
They served in the Army during World War II, worked in CCC camps and drove trucks on the Alaskan Highway.
After both brothers and their wives moved to Spokane, they decided to go into the concrete block making business.
In 1947, the Whites' business was founded and is known as White Block Company, Inc. Ed and Hank retired 30 years later in 1977.
Ed and Ruth spent many winters in Hawaii and summers at their property on Pend Oreille River.
They also took many trips and cruises to the British Isles, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Australia.
Edward is preceded in death by his parents; wife Ruth; son Lyle E. White; brother William M. White; and his twin brother Harold J.
He is survived by one son, Wayne E. (Sandra) White, Rathdrum, ID; sister, Clara McMahon, Spokane Valley; brother, Thomas W. White, Clinton, MT; grandchildren, Shayne White, Spokane; Sandra (Scott) Murphy, Grain Valley, MO; Stacy (Thad) Corless, Waunakee, WI; Ruth Hoffer, Hershey, PA.

Ed is survived by 20 great-grandchildren; and five great-great grandchildren; eight step great-grandchildren and six step great-great-grandchildren; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many friends.
A private celebration of life is being planned for this summer on Pend Oreille River.

...and just lotion. Nothing special. It has a light scent that doesn't stick around. I'm not entirely sure why I'm receiving so many rosemary scented lotions... I'm a person not a potato.
This is a medium weight lotion. It has a rather odd, dank smell to me - sort of earthy, but not the clean smell I'd prefer.
Great lotion! Works like most.. Smells great! Wasn't greasy or gross feeling- also felt cooling on my skin. Would recommend!
Such a refreshing smell and feels cooling on the skin! Love love love it!
This lotion got the job done without being too greasy or too light but the smell was just not my favorite.

This is the first comprehensive study of the law governing professional misconduct by defence lawyers before the International Criminal Court. The ICC's regulatory regime was introduced in response to instances of misconduct experienced by other international and domestic criminal courts. The book first turns to how the ICC's forerunners - the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda and the Special Court for Sierra Leone - coped with misconduct, often resulting in controversy. The book also looks at the approaches that have evolved in Germany and the United States, reflecting the different role of defence lawyers in the civil and common law criminal justice traditions. The book offers a unique insight into the professional responsibilities of defence lawyers within the various international and national regimes. Offering practical guidance on disciplinary systems and other sanctioning mechanisms, it also explores the inherent tension at the heart of the defence lawyer's role: to ensure the human right to a fair trial we want them to be zealous advocates for their clients; at the same time we ask them to commit themselves as officers of the court.575 ibid, Criminal Resource Manual 755, citing Shillitani v United States (n 465) 368a70; Nye v U.S. (n 426); Gompers v Bucka#39;s Stove aamp; Range Co.

Back when I was a musician – writing songs rather than things like this – I was just about the only one I knew who wasn't stealing music via the heist website Napster. And I lived in Austin, Texas – the "Live Music Capital of the World." I knew a LOT of musicians.
The National Review Institute, founded by William Buckley, Jr. in 1991, and The Heartland Institute joined forces for an event with Charles C. W. Cooke featuring his book, "The Conservatarian Manifesto", on Wednesday, March 25, in the Crystal Room of the Union League Cub, 645 West Jackson, Chicago. "The Conservatarian Manifesto" is a call to arms for an underserved movement among conservatives. The crucial tenets of this movement includes fiscal responsibility, constitutional obedience, and controlled government spending.
'If You Like Your Internet, You Can Keep Your Internet' and Other Government Lies
Conservatives and Libertarians inherently have little faith or trust in government. We know the institution is inherently flawed – and self-serving. Government violates the Wallet Rule. Which is: You go out on a Friday night with your wallet. You go out the following Friday night with my wallet. On which night are you going to have more fun?
Recently on his show, former Gov. Mike Huckabee ran a segment called, "Does the GOP need to start listening to millennials?" The answer to this question is not only a "yes," it's a "you should have started listening several years ago."
A debate on immigration policy was held recently in Chicago between a conservative and a libertarian. It was an exercise between light regulation and lighter regulation. Both regimes would enlarge the programs for highly skilled foreigners and temporary workers and tighten the border with Mexico.
FreedomWorks' CEO Matt Kibbe's new book Don't Hurt People and Don't Take Their Stuff was the topic of discussion Tuesday at Heartland Institute, and due to flight delays and re-direction the author himself had to reschedule his presentation for Wednesday. However, having read Kibbe's book Joe Bast, CEO of the Heartland Institute, and Jim Lakely, ably filled in for Kibbe's absence in a discussion about liberty.
Libertarianism was the gist of the philosophical foundation of the American political system.
'Dark Money' Funds To Promote Global Warming Alarmism Dwarf Warming 'Denier' Research
The undeniable truth is global warming alarmists raise and spend far more money – including far more untraceable special interest "dark money" – than global warming skeptics.
Heartland Daily Podcast: The Quiet Greatness of Calvin Coolidge
Listen to author Charles C. Johnson talk about the life, philosophies and virtues of one of America's most underrated presidents, John Calvin Coolidge, Jr.
The goals of limited government, fiscal responsibility, traditional values, and strong defense have been an ever-present litany of bullet points from Republican politicians – but talking about limited government and actually delivering on it are two very different things.
If you are not familiar with the show Parks & Recreation on NBC, I highly recommend it. One of the heroes of the sitcom is a character named Ron Swanson,…

Watch what happens when Parisians find portals to other countries in a city square.
From AISH — Passover Funk! A blessed Passover to all who celebrate. May Elijah visit you all. (I can't believe this guy manages to catch his kippah!)
Easter always makes me think of this Disney classic.
"Love — the only reason that we're alive."
The excited filmmakers noted that this was Chile's first Oscar — for this animated short about a bear taken from his family to be in a circus, an allegory for the families torn apart by Pinochet's regime.
No filmmaker is more inventive than OK Go, and their latest has them literally floating on air.
This is a lovely film — highly recommended for all families.
"World of Tomorrow" turned up on several "best of the year" lists from movie critics. It has been nominated for an Oscar as best animated short film, and can be seen now on Vimeo (for a nominal fee) and Netflix […]
