hello! im sure a lot of you have heard of the cartoon network show clarence through the skylar page scandal, in which the creator of clarence sexually harassed a storyboard revisionist, emily partridge, and was fired for it. i wasnt in the fandom before this disgusting behavior came to light, but i am now and i can clearly see the effect its had on the shows fandom. there is not that much fanart, when you ask people about their favorite cartoons they never recommend clarence, there are a number of rumors about it, and even well known cartoon reviewers like mr enter call it a bad cartoon. im here today to dispel some rumors and give you some reasons to watch this great show. and just so we're clear, ive watched twenty something episodes with a friend who's watched most of season one, but having said that…
rumor: you shouldnt watch clarence because skylar page, a known sexual harasser, worked on the show and youre supporting him by watching it!
truth: yes, skylar page has sexually harassed a woman at cartoon network, and he was rightfully fired for it. he has not been involved with clarence since 2014, and gains nothing from you watching his show. but there's more! a writer for clarence, patrick harpin, has come forth and said that despite creating the show, skylar page has had little to no influence on it. all of the great things i can say about clarence are made possible because of the amazing writers and storyboard artists, and the most that skylar page did was read over their ideas and approve them. an entire team of talented people worked very hard to bring clarence to life, and it would be a damn shame to discredit them just because skylar page was a part of that team, especially when he contributed next to nothing and has not been working on the show for two years.
(source for patrick harpin's words and more on skylar page)
rumor: there are fat jokes!
truth: no, there are not. in fact, the protagonist, clarence, and his mother and step father are all fat and there are never any jokes made about their weight. in addition, no other fat stereotypes and misconceptions, like all of their clothes not fitting, or being unattractive are used.
rumor: there's gross out humor!
truth: no. i have not seen this episode yet, but according to my friend there is only one episode specifically focused on gross out humor, in which some kids get together and try to tell the grossest stories imaginable because they think it's funny. other than that, i havent seen anything even remotely resembling gross out humor.
rumor: the art style looks bad!
truth: while i will admit that this one is a little more subjective, personally, i dont think so. i think it just looks like the art style of a modern cartoon, and is on the same level as the art style of say, steven universe or gravity falls, while also being very distinct. the colors are great and the animation is always fluid and every setting looks real and like somebody actually lives/works there. its always a joy to watch.
and now, here are some reasons why i think clarence is a great show that deserves a lot more attention and praise:
-i've consumed a lot of media that has a child protagonist, or even a large cast of child characters, but this is the first piece of media ive seen in a long time that genuinely feels like its from the perspective of a child, while also not being immature or shallow. i have never watched this show as a child, but it still manages to evoke feelings of nostalgia.
-the refusal to use generic, boring stereotypes and tropes that have been done to death. it would have been so easy to take the main trio and make clarence a fat dumb kid, jeff a stuck up nerdy goody two shoes, and sumo the bad influence, but they're not! each and every character, even the ones that arent used as often as the main trio, still have a lot of little details and quirks that make them feel real, especially the trio, which is really amazing when so many people seem to have no idea how to write children. i feel like i could run into any of these characters in the real world and it would make sense, they feel like real people! it would be so easy to make mary and chad, clarences parents, into the smart wife and dumb husband trope, but no! mary is good natured, determined, and never shows anything short of unconditional support to her son. chad is more goofy, but for the most part hes not irresponsible, hes not incompetent, and hes great with kids! id also like to point out, while im at it, that this show never uses bad relationships as humor; clarence's parents love each other and fully support their son, the same goes for jeff and his parents, sumo doesnt have the greatest relationship with his parents, but its never treated as funny.
-the representation. as ive said before, the main character and his family are all fat and its never treated as a bad thing. jeff, a member of the main trio, is shown to be neuroatypical and its never treated with anything short of respect. jeff also has two moms, who deeply love and care for him and 100% support him, and theyre never treated as abnormal and there are no jokes made at their expense.
-i know ive gone into this a little bit above, but the characters are magnificent. they have so many quirks and tiny details to make them seem real, and there are plenty of episodes dedicated to just developing them, and its honestly so enjoyable to watch them interact with each other.
if it wasnt already clear, i think clarence is a great show, and its rly upsetting to see so many people write it off because of a creator who gains nothing from people enjoying his show, or because of some bogus rumors. having said that, you can watch one of the episodes here, on youtube, for free, on cartoon networks official channel. please, give it a chance.
Funny part from the "Classroom".
i've been watching a bunch of clarence lately, it's such a fun show???

Formerly Joel's room, this is the room where Mike lives when he's not watching movies. It is often the target of vandalism from the Bots. For instance, when Tom threw a mannequin through Mike's window, making it impossible for him to go in until the hole was fixed.The only glimpse into Mike's room ever seen is during a host segment for Experiment 1007 Track of the Moon Beast, when the Bots plant a camera (a.k.a. the Mobile Personnel Reconnaissance Robot) there to find out just what kind of pajamas Mike wears. This glimpse reveals that Mike has a duo of stuffed animals on his bed which he pretends to have interact with one another before he goes to sleep. It also shows a poster of Clint Eastwood from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly taped to the inner hull over his bed.
Behind the scenes
Mike's room was filmed on a redressed section of the right side of the Bridge set.

This Magnemite is one of Clemont's Pokémon who is living in the Lumiose City Gym. It is an Electric/Steel-type Pokémon.
Magnemite is Clemont's Pokémon who served as a patrol to the Gym while Clembot was in control of it. After Clemont greeted it upon his return, it pretended to be happy but then attacked him with Thunder Shock. It continued attacking until Froakie's Frubbles put a stop to it.[1]
When Clemont returned to his gym, Clemont used Magnemite to train for his upcoming gym battle against Ash.[2]

Please help the Pokémon Wiki by expanding it.
After the gym battle, Clemont gave Magnemite back to Clembot so he can continue his journey with Ash.[3]
Magnemite was later used as Clembot's first Pokémon in a gym battle against Alba. It went up against Vivillon and started with Electro Ball. However, Magnemite got stunned by Vivillon's Flash-Quiver Dance combo. As it was being put to sleep with Sleep Powder, it was eventually defeated by Vivillon's Energy Ball.[4]

Vision & History
Army ROTC Highlight
Dauntless Battalion
The Dauntless Battalion (headquartered at Widener) traces its roots back through the Freedom and Pioneer Battalions and the Pennsylvania Military College. Seven cadets were commissioned in 2013.
Achievement Highlight
A Decade of Achievement
A visual presentation of how Widener's Main Campus has evolved over the the past ten years.
New Vision for Widener
Focus on Transformative Learning
President Julie E. Wollman shares her vision for Widener University, which includes cultivating a curriculum that is focused on solving the world's most vexing problems as well as training students to become global leaders.
As a preeminent metropolitan university, Widener aspires to be a dynamic, inclusive academic community, transforming students into scholars, leaders, and globally engaged citizens.
Our History
Our vision is inspired by a legacy of leadership, public service, and career preparation started by John Bullock, who established the Bullock School for Boys in 1821 to prepare young men for "entry to college." In 1846, the name changed to the Alsop School for Boys when Samuel Alsop became headmaster.
Delaware Military Academy: An Honorable Legacy
Another name change took place in 1853 when the school became Hyatt's Select School for Boys under the direction of Theodore Hyatt, who purchased the school from Alsop. In 1858, Hyatt introduced a military discipline to "develop the muscles, expand the chest, and impart an erect gentlemanly carriage …" when, according to legend, he found his pupils performing drills with broomsticks in the gym. In 1859, the school was incorporated under the charter of the Wilmington Literary Institute as the Delaware Military Academy (DMA).
Henry C. Robinett, a DMA graduate, distinguished himself in the Civil War by leading a Union artillery battery that successfully defended a strategic position at the Battle of Corinth in Mississippi. The current Widener ROTC "Battery Robinett," which fires a cannon after each touchdown at Widener home football games, was named in Robinett's honor. Robinett was one of many who would come to serve honorably as part of Widener's military school legacy.
In 1862, the academy moved to West Chester, Pennsylvania, an abolitionist-friendly state, and the school's name changed to the Pennsylvania Military Academy (PMA). At that time, Colonel George Patten, a South Carolinian who fought in the Civil War on the Union side, established a civil engineering curriculum, part of a legacy that still continues as Widener celebrates 150 years of engineering in 2012. Now the Widener School of Engineering includes electrical, civil, chemical, biomedical, and mechanical engineering disciplines.
In 1866, after the Civil War, there was another brief move to Upland, Pennsylvania, before the Academy eventually moved to its present location in Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1868.
Pennsylvania Military College: The West Point of the Keystone State
In 1892, now under the direction of General Charles Hyatt, the son of Theodore Hyatt, the Academy applied for and received collegiate status, becoming the Pennsylvania Military College (PMC). An all-male cadet college, modeled after the legendary U.S. Army Military Academy at West Point, the PMC cadets came to think of themselves as being from the "West Point of the Keystone State."
In 1930, Colonel Frank Hyatt, a member of the third generation of the Hyatt family became president of PMC. During the next several decades, PMC cadets became well-known and acknowledged for their leadership, scholarship, and military service to their country. For example, Lieutenant William John Wolfgram earned the Bronze Star and died in battle in World War II. Widener's Wolfgram Memorial Library is named after him.
The first civilians to attend PMC came as veterans in 1946; they did not live on campus. The program expanded in 1958 to include non-veteran students enrolled in a newly instituted civilian program. They also did not live on campus. The Corps of Cadets were still the only students residing on campus.
In 1966, as a result of the lack of support for the Vietnam War and the need to increase enrollment, PMC Colleges was formed. It consisted of two parallel schools: Pennsylvania Military College and Penn Morton College. Penn Morton College, in 1966, enrolled civilian male resident students for the first time.
Although some women had been attending PMC's Evening Division, which started in 1954, in 1966 a group of 17 female nursing students arrived on campus as day students. They were part of the College of Nursing of the Crozer Foundation. One year later, women joined civilian male resident students at Penn Morton College and became the first female resident students on campus. With the co-educational component growing into a significant portion of the student body during the latter 1960's Widener College was formed in 1972.
PMC Colleges Becomes Widener University
By 1972, the PMC Corps of Cadets (about 277 members at the time) was disbanded, and PMC Colleges became Widener College, named after the prominent Widener family of Philadelphia. In 1975, Widener College expanded to acquire the Delaware Law School (now known as Widener University Delaware Law School), and one year later incorporated the Wilmington, Delaware campus of Brandywine College.
In 1979, Widener College became Widener University.
During the next two decades, Widener University continued to grow with the groundbreaking addition of the Harrisburg campus in 1988 (now known as the Widener University Commonwealth Law School). In 2006, Metropolitan Hall (a new state-of-the-art student residence) and the Wellness Center were added to the main campus facilities in Chester. In 2011, Widener added Founders Hall, which is now home to the School of Nursing and the Oskin Leadership Institute. In 2013, Widener opened Freedom Hall, a new academic building housing communication studies, computer science, and digital media informatics. Another new residence hall opened in the fall of 2015, housing 200 students and including space for a living-learning community. In 2016, the university acquired the Taylor Arboretum, a 30-acre reserve of plantings and natural lands located about a mile north of the university in Nether Providence Township
Today, after nearly 200 years, our core values stand as respectful legacy to our past in preparing young men and women to become citizens of character who can become effective leaders in a global society.

Building a BR from low deposit?
Hey!Since I'm still new here (to the site not to poker lol) I wanted to see if you find it possible to effectively build a bankroll out of 50$ only seeing as I can't deposit more than that right now.
I am aware of the BR rules and management (enter with 5% to 10% of your payroll max etc...) but I wanted to see which course of action is the most likely to save time and accelerate the rise. Should I play more in cash games and then multitable them?Or should I focus more on MTTs and SNGs?What about the new rush poker system?
I know that building a BR takes time but I just wanted to see what, in your opinion, is the best way to build such a small BR...
Micro cash games are generally your best bet with a limited amount of money as your hourly rate is generally going to be higher and your variance lower than SnG or MTT's. Start playing 2NL tables, and gradually move up the limits as your skill level and bankroll increase. Be patient, and don't get discouraged if you don't get instant results. Just constantly work on improving and the money will come.
Sure you can.
I am in the process of starting cash games after some months of freerolls and sit n goes.
I just played a hand in 2NL where me and my opponent split an all in pot with the same Ace high straight on a T-K-J-K-Q board. But I lost $0.13 that hand! Why? RAKE.
Its clear to me that even at 2NL rakeback can be important to boost your profits. Time to deposit on a rakeback site me thinks.
You can't build it up easily without rakeback. Find a good rakeback offer and give it a try...
I've built up to $300 from $20 on full tilt and numerous times over $100 on pokerstars from just $10, but I have tilt issues and sometimes I play very drunk...
I started from $7 last week (which I got from rakeback) and I am playing 2NL again to build some online bankroll and now I am at $62. Looking forward to get my next rakeback payment on Friday and win some more to move to the 2/5c tables.
re: Poker & Building a BR from low deposit?
It definitely is possible. I withdrew all my deposits in 2008 and just played freerolls and currently have a few hundred dollars and a couple of accounts.
I lent a friend 5$ and he has been able to get it up to 80 playing casually.
Neither of us are pros but just patient and not spending beyond our means or ability.
Good luck.

Audience Reviews for The Grand Duel (Il Grande duello)
Not bad at all. Sort of a mixture between "The Big Gundown" with Van Cleef seeking out a wanted criminal, and "For a Few Dollars More" with the dreamy flashbacks. The action is coherent and abundant, with Lee Van Cleef doing quite a bit in this movie. It's very Leone-esque with lots of close-ups and tight editing. The story is engaging, but is told "in medias res," in that the movie seems to start midway through the story. I found the dialogue revealing plot points to be a little confusing, and I had to look up what was going on a few times. Luckily the plot does come together at the end, although predictably. Overall it's a decent movie, although I'd put quite a few Spaghetti Westerns ahead of it. Not bad for $4 for the blu-ray or free on Amazon Prime.
Grand Duel has all the ingredients of a great Spaghetti Western but falls short as they are not mixed together as well as they should have been. Luis Bacolov provides a great score that one would expect in a Spaghetti Western, but its main theme seems to be overused at times. The film also would have benefited from more earlier encounters with its main adversaries, which makes the second half much more interesting. In the end it is a decent spaghetti.
A little Western gem usually passed up, but not too badly done. It has Lee Van Cleef playing the type of personality he always has with a typically good Spaghetti Western soundtrack.

text: Alright so I recently upgraded to 2.0.2 seeing as PwnageTool now supports 2.0.2 jailbreaking for Macs. So, I plugged in my iPod, opened up PwnageTool, and proceeded to create the ipsw file. I chose the ipsw with this name, "iPod1,1_2.0.2_5C1_Restore.ipsw" Then I continued with the whole process of holding down the power and home button, then releasing the power button and holding the home button, etc. Once my ipod entered DFU mode, I went into iTunes, which recognized the ipod in recovery mode, and and attempted to restore my ipod using my custom ipsw restore file. Everything seemed to be running smoothly. The pineapple logo showed up, and everything. BUT, as soon as the process seemed as if it had finished, my ipod flashed black, and a window in iTunes opened saying that my ipod had been restored properly and was now restarting. My ipod restarted, but instead of showing the pineapple logo and starting up, all it showed was a white screen.......a blank......white....screen. So I waited for a few minutes hoping it would do something. No luck. I've tried the process twice now, same thing. PLEASE. Somebody help. Thank you.

I was receiving a $12.99 charge on a prepaid MC that I use to pay recurring, fixed rate bills(cable, internet...etc....) showing up from TLG GREAT FUN. The phone number listed on the charge was 800-272-7771. This number actually rings up a fairly nice guy working for PNY Memory who says he is getting ALOT of calls like mine.
Looking thru some of the older posts, I found 800-290-8603, which is a good number for TLG GREAT FUN. I finally got a live person on the phone and explained my situation. She said I joined thru CLASSMATES and that I was supposed to be getting a packet worth 100s of $ in discounts on travel, food, etc.......she said it was showing as mailed out in February. To date, I have never received anything from them.
Luckily, for me, it was a prepaid card and the money on it is direct deposited by my job and is usually gone by the 10th.
The lady I spoke with was very friendly and polite. She, of course, triued to convince me to stay as an active account, but I made sure she understood in no uncertain terms was my account to remain active.
I guess they post the bogus number to redirect peoples complaint calls.
1-800-290-8603 is a good number for TLG GREAT FUN customer service.

In order to receive a free 50.00 Walmart gift card from these guys I would have to sign a membership and within 30 days. I could cancel and still receive my gift card. I canceled and little behold a charge 16.99 came across my bank. I thought it was my husband. negative, they hit my bank. I called 1-800-290-8603 and spoke with Andy and told him my situation. At first he said he could not refund. Bull*HIT. I then gave him no option and he gave me a cancel number and is sending out my welcome package for the 2nd time. 7 days my money should return. Hate to be a witch towards people but it my money and I need it!0 0 Reply

I caught the $1.00 from 3 of TLGs various companies. Each time I spoke to very friendly, polite non-US representatives. The call was recorded and I made certain that I had already alerted my attorney and action would be taken if I recieved even one more charge. Each time I asked and received a confirmation # for the cancelation.0 0 Reply

Yeah, I just got off the phone with them. Their automatic phone call said they had a High Call Volume and suggested calling BACK later and shortly after that message a guy picked up. He encouraged me to just cancel at the end of the month but I rarely go out and he said that yeah I didn't un-check a box that gave them the right to do this when I made an online purchase. Small print, be warned. Well he gave me my cancellation number and now I should no longer have to deal with this again. Just sucks cuz that was 16.99 a month since November and I NEED that money.0 0 Reply

Just called and thanks for all the comments and 800 number. As stated above demand more than 4 months they will give you 12 for credit. This is crazy that a company can get away with this. Ordered off internet shoebuy.com. It was automatically charged to card and small print says you have to call after 30 days to cancel.0 0 Reply

I was able to cancel the scam by changing my card number and telling them I was moving to a small town in Nebraska without phone or internet. Can you believe they tried to tell me that a town of 500 people has many great offers for savings?? Ticketmaster made this seem so legitimate. For shame, ticketmaster.0 0 Reply

I also found a random charge for 16.99 on my credit card from TLG Great Fun. I called to inquire about the charge and was told that I was automatically enrolled when I was registered for Thrifty Rental Car's Traveler's Advantage. I told the rep I'd never been told about anything about TLG and had canceled the Thrifty membership within the same week of enrollment months ago. He told me there was "no reason they should have to refund me" because I didn't call TLG to cancel (even though I had no idea I was even affiliated with this company). I asked to speak to a manager and was immediately offered a refund and my membership was canceled.
My suggestion: don't even waste your time with the puppet who will read off a list of policies to you at the beginning of the convo. Just go straight to a supervisor!

This TLG company is a total fraud and so is this Blumenthal running for senate in Conn.,
who is so busy telling the nuts in the nutmeg state how great he is when a fraudulent TLG is ripping hundreds of consumers off with these false credit card charges unauthorized by anyone knowingly. Why doesn't Blumenthal show he has the guts to shut TLG down immediately?

I fell victim also, my charges apparently started with a FanDango ticket order. My credit card was hit every month for 17 months (this card being a card that I didn't feel I needed to watch for bad charges, ***). I called 800-290-8603, they say they will refund me 4 charges. Be persistent, talk to a supervisor, use the words "scam" and "report" as much as possible. Good Luck.0 0 Reply

I had this charge as well. I was told that I agreed to 50% off my hotel charges through my booking on Hotwire.
They informed me that they sent me some sort of pack with deals etc and a form I needed to fill out and send back. After I send back that form, then I would receive my 50% discount on the hotel.
Well I never signed up for any of that, nor did I ever receive a pack from these guys.
I called the 800-290-8603 # and had a pretty easy time canceling my fraudulent membership.

Bennington man accused of failing to comply with sex offender registryMarch 02,2013BENNINGTON — A Beech Street man is facing a felony charge after police said he failed to comply with the terms of the sex offender registry earlier this year.
Richard Pinsonneault, 31, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on a felony count of failing to comply with the sex offender registry for five consecutive days and a misdemeanor count of first offense of failing to comply with the sex offender registry.
In an affidavit, Detective Anthony Silvestro said Pinsonneault was obligated to comply with the sex offender registry based on a conviction for sexual assault in Bennington criminal court in April 2007.
Silvestro said Pinsonneault gave the Vermont Sex Offender Registry an address on Union Street in December but said he learned Jan. 24 from Bonnie Goode, coordinator of the registry, that Pinsonneault was no longer living at that address.
According to the affidavit, Pinsonneault admitted to Silvestro on Feb. 4 that he was no longer living on Union Street and had been living on Beech Street for more than two weeks.
Silvestro said that Pinsonneault told him during an interview at the Bennington Police Department on Feb. 5 that he "simply forgot to send the registry a change-of-address form."
Pinsonneault, who pleaded innocent Monday, was released without bail.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

This was good and easy to make. I did make a few adjustments because I didn't have fiesta nacho cheese soup. I used cheddar cheese soup and added a tad more salsa then called for. The recipe didn't state what size pan to use so I used a 13x9 but next time I think I would put it in a smaller pan as I didn't think the burger went as far as it should. I also used more cheese then called for as we love cheese. This was a tasty, easy weeknight meal.
Great casserole...omitted the pepper and onion as DH won't eat them. Completely forgot the salsa :-( I used con tortillas..also added refried beans. Soo good, thanks for posting!
You won't be disappointed with thes quick and easy and oh so tatsty dish. Great when you want Mexican and don't want to spend a lot of time preparing it. This will make a repeat performance in this household! Thanks so much for sharing it, Creation!

December 5
Can anyone else feel how important it is to stop and see beauty right now? It's been a long political season and I don't feel like engaging anymore. The news seems overwhelming this week with Oakland's warehouse fire and other hard stories. Friends are struggling with surgeries and hard relationships, their children's hardships and financial needs. That's not all mine to handle, though my heart tries to tell me it is—oh the negatives of being empathetic, right? However… at some point in my day my fellow DPPers are forcing me to move slowly, to see beauty, to capture it, label it, hashtag it and share it with world. There is beauty to be found. And we're doing it! We're finding the gracious moments God's given us, the blessings beyond all counting, all right here in the midst of the ugliness and hardness of life.
The bright white clouds in their furrows against a rich blue December sky. God's sweet gift to my afternoon middle school pickup. White orchids on my dining room table. Elegant and extraordinary, they send birthday love from my family.
Lord, open my eyes that I may see this amazing world. Open my heart and remind me that You control it all. Amen.

The new Otani Hotel is a great hotel to stay. It is about 300 meters from Nagatacho Station and easy to find.
Check in was quick, courteous and efficient, rooms were clean, fresh, pleasant.
The hotel is fairly big, has a pool, various shops and restaurants.
I must say that it is an expensive hotel, but great. I can certainly recommend it if you are not on a budget.
What I can't recommend however is the Bella Vista Restaurant in the Hotel. The service is 'OK' (but OK in Tokyo is still very good compared to other places) but the quality of the food I found disappointing to say the least. It is an expensive restaurant and I expected better service and nbetter tasting food.
Don get me wrong, both the service and the food were not horrible, but definitely subpar for Tokyo and subpar for that price. Venture out of the hotel to eat, there is better to find

DIANNE MILLER, PLAINTIFF,v.HOLTZBRINCK PUBLISHERS, LLC, MACMILLAN PUBLISHERS, INC., SAINT MARTIN'S PRESS, HEATHER HUNTER AND MICHELLE VALENTINE, DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff Diane Miller ("Plaintiff") filed an Amended Complaint alleging fraudulent inducement and misrepresentation against Defendant Heather Hunter ("Hunter"). Hunter now moves this Court to dismiss Plaintiff's Amended Complaint pursuant to Rules 12(b)(6) and 9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Hunter raises two arguments in support of her motion to dismiss: (1) that Plaintiff has not pled the claim of fraudulent inducement with sufficient particularity under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; and (2) that Plaintiff has failed tostate a cause of action for fraudulent inducement and misrepresentation because she has attempted improperly to convert a claim for breach of contract into a claim of fraudulent inducement. For the reasons set forth below, Hunter's motion is granted and the Amended Complaint is dismissed.
Plaintiff, an author, alleges that she agreed to write a book for Hunter, with an understanding that if a publisher showed interest, Miller would be paid an amount to be negotiated at that time. Amended Complaint ("Am. Compl.") ¶ 6. Hunter, a former adult-film star, wasthe first African-American woman to be chosen for the somewhat dubious honor ofinduction into the Adult Film Hall of Fame. Sheallegedly contacted Plaintiff to ghost-write Hunter's memoirs and to tell the story of her shimmying up the pole of success inthe porn profession. After being contacted by Hunter's literary agent in approximately January 2004, Plaintiff reviewed Hunter's notes and allegedly agreed to write the book. Id. ¶ 7. Plaintiff alleges that Hunter told Plaintiff that she would be paid at least $25,000 fromHunter's advance royalties once the manuscript had been accepted for publication, and also agreed to pay Plaintiff further royalties after the book was published.*fn1 Id. ¶ 8. The agreement between Plaintiff and Hunter regarding royalties for the manuscript was apparently not reduced to writing. Plaintiff alleges that in April 2005 she delivered a completed manuscript, with the enticing title"Insatiable Desires," to Hunter and her agent. Id. ¶ 10. Although Plaintiff alleges that she continued to communicate with Hunter and her agent throughout 2004 and to approximately October 2005 regarding possible publishers for Plaintiff's manuscript, she asserts that on or about July 24, 2007, a book that was substantially similar to the manuscript Plaintiff delivered to Hunter, entitled "Insatiable: The Rise of a Porn Star" and written by Michelle Valentine, was published. See id. ¶¶ 11-12.
Plaintiff filed her initial complaint in this matter in October 2007. The initial complaint brought a claim for tortious interference with business relations against several defendants, including Hunter, Valentine and various publishing companies, as well as a claim for conversion against the publisher Defendants and Valentine, and a claim for fraudulent inducement and misrepresentation against Hunter. On November 12, 2008, this Court granted the Defendants' motion to dismiss, finding that Plaintiff's conversion and tortious interference claims were preempted by the Copyright Act of 1976 and that Plaintiff's fraudulent inducement claim against Hunter lacked the requisite specificity for fraud claims under Rule 9(b). See Miller v. Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC, 08 Civ. 3508 (HB), 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 92038, at *4-12 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 12, 2008). However, this Court granted Plaintiff leave to amend her complaint with respect to her fraudulent inducement cause of action. Id. at *12-13. Plaintiff filed her Amended Complaint on December 2, 2008, and this motion to dismiss followed.
A. Legal Standard on a Motion to Dismiss
To survive a motion to dismiss, a plaintiff must allege "only enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007) (retiring previous pleading standard, under Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41 (1957), that required denial of a Rule 12(b)(6) motion "unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief"). A court must accept the facts alleged in the complaint as true, even if doubtful, and draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the nonmoving party. Ruotolo v. City of New York, 514 F.3d 184, 188 (2d Cir. 2008); Cosmas v. Hassett, 886 F.2d 8, 11 (2d Cir. 1989). However, "[c]onclusory allegations or legal conclusions masquerading as factual conclusions will not suffice to [defeat] a motion to dismiss." Achtman v. Kirby, McInerney & Squire, LLP, 464 F.3d 328, 227 (2d Cir. 2006). In deciding a motion to dismiss, the Court must apply a "flexible 'plausibility standard,' which obliges a pleader to amplify a claim with some factual allegations in those contexts where such amplification is needed to render the claim plausible." Iqbal v. Hasty, 490 F.3d 143, 157-58 (2d Cir. 2007). This standard requires "factual allegations sufficient 'to raise a right to relief above the speculative level.'" Boykin v. KeyCorp, 521 F.3d 202, 213 (2d Cir. 2008) (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555).
Additionally, in considering the sufficiency of the allegations of a claim for fraud, the Court must examine the allegations in the complaint with an eye toward the heightened pleading standard of Rule 9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 9(b) provides: "In alleging fraud or mistake, the party must state with particularity the circumstances constituting fraud or mistake. Malice, intent, knowledge and other conditions of a person's mind may be alleged generally." Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b). Although Rule 9(b) must be read in conjunction with Rule 8(a), which requires only a "short and plain statement" of the claim asserted, the fraud allegations must nonetheless be sufficiently specific to "give the defendant adequate information to allow the defendant to frame a response" and "to allow the defendant a reasonable opportunity to answer the complaint." Kermanshah v. Kermanshah, 580 F. Supp. 2d 247, 257 (S.D.N.Y. 2008) (citing Ross v. H.H. Robins Co., 607 F.2d 545, 557-58 (2d Cir. 1979), cert. denied, 446 U.S. 946 (1980)) (internal quotation marks omitted). Thus, the Second Circuit has recognized that "[t]he specificity required by Rule 9(b) is distinct from Rule 8(a)'s liberal 'plain statement' rule." IUE AFL-CIO Pension Fund v. Herrmann, 9 F.3d 1049, 1057 (2d Cir. 1993). This distinction serves several important policies, including (1) to afford defendants fair notice of claims against them and the factual ground upon which such claims are based; (2) to safeguard defendants' reputations and goodwill from improvident charges of wrongdoing; and (3) to prevent the filing of strike suits. See id. (citing Ross v. Bolton, 904 F.2d 819, 823 (2d Cir. 1990)). The Second Circuit "recognize[s] and rigorously enforce[s] these salutary purposes of Rule 9(b)." Ross, 904 F.2d at 823.
B. Miller's Fraudulent Inducement Claim Fails To State a Cause of Action
1. Miller's Fraudulent Inducement Claim Fails to Plead with Sufficient Particularity
The basis of Plaintiff's fraudulent inducement claim is that Hunter induced Plaintiff to author Hunter's memoirs without the intentionto pay Plaintiff for her work. See Am. Compl. ¶ 8, 14. Hunter argues that the Amended Complaint does little, if anything, to remedy the deficiencies that this Court noted in Plaintiff's initial complaint. Namely, Hunter argues that the Amended Complaint should be dismissed because Plaintiff has failed to plead fraud with particularity as required by Federal Rule 9(b). See Memorandum of Law in Support of Motion to Dismiss ("Hunter's Mem.") at 3-4.
To withstand a motion to dismiss, as for all claims sounding in fraud, a claim for fraudulent inducement must comply withthe requirements of Rule 9(b), which requires that allegations of fraud be pled with particularity. Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b). The Second Circuit has held that "[t]o satisfy the particularity requirement of 9(b), a complainant must adequately specify the statements it claims were false or misleading, give particulars as to the respect in which plaintiff contends the statements were fraudulent, state when and where the statements were made, and identify those responsible for the statements." Cosmas, 886 F.2d at 11; see also Lerner v. Fleet Bank, N.A., 459 F.3d 273, 290 (2d Cir. 2006) (finding that 9(b) requires a plaintiff to "(1) specify the statements that the plaintiff contends were fraudulent, (2) identify the speaker, (3) state where and when the statements were made, and (4) explain why the statements were fraudulent").
In addition to stating the "where, when, who or how" of the allegedly fraudulent statements, a plaintiff alleging fraudulent inducement must also show that the defendant exhibited scienter, or fraudulent intent. Although scienter need not be pled with great specificity, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b), "there must be some factual basis for conclusory allegations of intent." Ouknine v. MacFarlane, 897 F.2d 75, 80 (2d Cir. 1990). Thus, "plaintiffs must allege facts that give rise to a strong inference of fraudulent intent." Acito v. IMCERA Group, Inc., 47 F.3d 47, 52 (2d Cir. 1995); see also Bangkok Crafts Corp. v. Capitolo Di San Pietro in Vaticano, 331 F. Supp. 2d 247, 253 (S.D.N.Y. 2004). The requisite "strong inference" of fraud may be shown by alleging either (1) facts to show that the defendant had both motive and opportunity to commit fraud, or (2) facts constituting strong circumstantial evidence of conscious misbehavior or recklessness. Shields v. Citytrust Bancorp. Inc., 25 F.3d 1124, 1128 (2d Cir. 1994).
The extent of Plaintiff's factual allegations supporting her fraudulent inducement cause of action is as follows: that Plaintiff agreed to write Hunter's memoirs, Am. Compl. ¶¶ 6-7; that Hunter told Plaintiff that she, Hunter, would pay Plaintiff the sum of at least $25,000 from advance royalties once the book had been accepted for publication as well as further percentages of royalties received after publication, id. ¶ 8; that Hunter "had no intention of crediting or paying [Plaintiff] for her work" and "made these statements to induce [Plaintiff] to write a manuscript for her use and publication," id.; that throughout 2004 and early 2005, Hunter continued to assure Plaintiff that she would be paid for her work, id. ¶ 9; that these conversations and assurances occurred primarily by telephone and email, but also during two in-person meetings in Atlanta, Georgia, id.; that pursuant to and in reliance on these allegedly fraudulent misrepresentation, Plaintiff delivered a finished manuscript to Hunter in April 2005, id. ¶ 10; that when Hunter's book "Insatiable" ultimately was published, she failed to pay Plaintiff as provided in their agreement, or to give Plaintiff proper credit for her work, id. ¶ 11.
It appears that Plaintiff improperly has conflated the pleading standards of Rules 8(a) and 9(b), respectively. Specifically, Plaintiff argues that "[w]hile Rule 9(b) requires further particularity in pleading fraud than for other causes of action, the fact remains that notice pleading is sufficient in federal court." Memorandum in Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss ("Opp. Mem.") at 4. However, as noted above, whileRules 8(a) and 9(b) must be read in conjunction with one another, the Rules are distinct, and the heightened pleading standard of Rule 9(b) applies with force to all claims sounding in fraud. See IUE AFL-CIO Pension Fund, 9 F.3d at 1057; Ross, 904 F.2d at 823. It is pursuant to this standard that the Court considers Plaintiff's allegations of fraudulent inducement.
Reading the allegations of the Amended Complaint liberally, it may well be that the circumstances of the fraud were sufficiently pled. For example, Plaintiff has alleged the "who" (Hunter), "when" (2004 and early 2005), "where and how" (telephone, email and in-person), and why (Hunter did not intend to fulfill her promise). However, this Court need not determine whether these allegations satisfy the Rule 9(b) requirements, because it is clear that Plaintiff has failed adequately to plead the element of scienter in her fraudulent inducement claim. The allegations relating to Hunter's intent in her communications with Plaintiff are merely conclusory allegations of intent -- i.e., Plaintiff alleges merely that "Hunter had no intention of crediting or paying Miller for her work," id. ¶ 8. While Rule 9(b) does not impose the heightened pleading standard on allegations of scienter, the law of this Circuit requires a showing of a strong inference of fraudulent intent. Here, Plaintiff alleges no facts to support her conclusory allegations of intent or factsthat would give rise to the requisite strong inference that defendant had either motive and opportunity or knowledge or reckless disregard sufficient to establish the element of scienter for her fraudulent inducement claim. See Shields, 25 F.3d at 1128.
In short,Plaintiff has failed to satisfy the pleading requirements of Federal Rule 9(b) and has failed to state a cause of action for fraudulent inducement. For this reason alone, the Amended Complaint would be dismissed with prejudice.
2. Miller's Fraudulent Inducement Claim Sounds in Breach of Contract
Further, the gravamen of Plaintiff's fraud claim is that Hunter agreed to pay her for writing Hunter's memoirs, but did not fulfill her side of the agreement. Thus, in addition to failing under the Rule 9(b) pleading requirements,Plaintiff's cause of action for fraudulent inducement sounds in breach of contract and constitutes an improper effort to circumvent the Statute of Frauds. It is well settled under New York law*fn2 that "a contract action cannot be converted to one for fraud merely by alleging that the contracting party did not intend to meet its contractual obligations." Astroworks, Inc. v. Astroexhibit, Inc., 257 F. Supp. 2d 609, 616 (S.D.N.Y. 2003) (quotingInternational Cabletel Inc. v. Le Groupe Videotron Ltee., 978 F. Supp. 483, 486-87 (S.D.N.Y. 1997))(internal quotation marks and alterationsomitted); see also Wall v. CSX Transp., Inc., 471 F.3d 410, 416 (2d Cir. 2006) ("[A]s a general matter, a fraud claim may not be used as a means of restating what is, in substance, a claim for breach of contract. Thus, general allegations that defendant entered into a contract while lacking the intent to perform it are insufficient to support a fraud claim. One reason for this rule is to prevent parties from avoiding the Statute of Frauds by recharacterizing their contract claims as torts.") (citingNew York Univ. v. Continental Ins. Co., 87 N.Y.2d 308, 318, (1995) and Lehman v. Dow Jones & Co., 783 F.2d 285, 294 (2d Cir. 1986) (Friendly, J.)) (internal quotations and alterations omitted);Grappo v. Alitalia Linee Aeree Italiane, S.p.A., 56 F.3d 427, 434 (2d Cir. 1995) ("A cause of action for fraud does not generally lie where the plaintiff alleges only that the defendant entered into a contract with no intention of performing."); Creditsights, Inc. v. Ciasullo, 05 CV 9345 (DAB), 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 91481, at *25-26 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 5, 2008) (dismissing counterclaim for fraudulent inducement based solely on failure to disclose that counterclaim defendants never intended to honor their obligations under certain agreements); Kaliner v. Mt. Vernon Monetary Mgmt. Corp., 07 Civ. 4643 (LMM), 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 67456, at *11 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 3, 2008) ("The well accepted rule is that a cause of action for fraud does not arise when alleged fraud relates to a breach of contract."); The Space, Inc. v. Simowitz, 08 Civ. 2854 (SAS), 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 51782, at *11 (S.D.N.Y. July 8, 2008) ("A contract action cannot be converted to one for fraud merely by alleging that the contracting party did not intend to meet its contractual obligations.") (quoting Sichel v. Unum Provident Corp., 230 F. Supp. 2d 325, 328 (S.D.N.Y. 2002)); Bezuszka v. L.A. Models, Inc., 04 Civ. 7703 (NRB), 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 13620, at *41-42 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 27, 2006) ("[A] fraud claim must be sufficiently distinct from the breach of contract claim, and a contract claim cannot be converted into a fraud claim by the addition of an allegation that the promisor intended not to perform when he made the promise.") (quotingPapa's-June Music, Inc. v. McLean, 921 F. Supp. 1154, 1160, 1162 (S.D.N.Y. 1996) (dismissing fraud claim where "the complaint does not allege a fraud claim that is sufficiently distinct from the breach of contract claim" but "merely appends allegations about [defendant's] state of mind to the claim for breach of contract")); Spencer Trask Software & Info. Servs. LLC v. RPost Int'l Ltd., 383 F. Supp. 2d 428, (S.D.N.Y. 2003) (citing, inter alia,Briefstein v. P.J. Rotondo Constr. Co., 8 A.D.2d 349, 351 (1st Dep't 1959) ("To say that a contracting party intends when he enters into an agreement not to be bound by it is not to state 'fraud' in an actionable area, but to state a willingness to risk paying damages for breach of contract.")).
The Second Circuit has enunciated three exceptions to the general rule against allowing fraud claims that are related to breaches of contract: "to maintain a claim of fraud in such a situation, a plaintiff must either (i) demonstrate a legal duty separate from the duty to perform under the contract . . . ; or (ii) demonstrate a fraudulent misrepresentation collateral or extraneous to the contract . . . ; or (iii) seek special damages that are caused by the misrepresentation and unrecoverable as contract damages." Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. v. Recovery Credit Servs., Inc., 98 F.3d 13, 20 (2d Cir. 1996); Williams v. L.A. Models, Inc., 07 Civ. 6778 (NRB), 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 60968, at *23-24 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 5, 2008); see also Hotel Constructors, Inc. v. Seagrave Corp., 574 F. Supp. 384, 387-88 (S.D.N.Y. 1983) (finding that plaintiff had made more than purely conclusory allegations that defendants never intended to perform; plaintiffs had also alleged facts that defendants made promises that they knew at the time to be impossible of performance due to other concurrent contractual obligations).
In this case, Plaintiff has alleged that Plaintiff agreed to write a book for Hunter, Am. Compl. ¶ 6, and in exchange Hunter agreed to pay her $25,000 in advance royalties for writing Hunter's memoirs and also to pay Plaintiff continuing royalties in the future based on book sales, id. ¶ 8, but that she failed to fulfill her side of the agreement after Plaintiff produced a manuscript, id. ¶ 11. To attempt to convert this seemingly clear allegation of breach of contract(which, as noted above, is unlikely to be enforceable in any event) into one for fraudulent inducement, Plaintiff also generally alleges that "Hunter had no intention of crediting or paying [Plaintiff] for her work." Id. ¶ 8. Plaintiff has alleged no "collateral or extraneous" promises that Hunter made in addition to her promise to pay Plaintiff for her services. Furthermore, Plaintiff has failed to allege any facts indicative of a legal duty distinct from the duty to perform the contract, or any special damage that would not be recoverable as contract damages. See Bridgestone/Firestone, 98 F.2d at 20. Thus, Hunter's alleged representations that Plaintiff would be paid royalties for writing Hunter's memoirs merely "constitutes a 'promissory statement as to what would be done in the future' and therefore cannot serve as the basis of a fraud claim, as a fraud claim premised on a promise of future performance of a contractual obligation would be duplicative of [a] breach of contract claim." Kaliner, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 67456, at *14-15 (quoting Deerfield Comm'ns Corp. v. Chesebrough-Ponds, Inc., 68 N.Y.2d 952, 956 (1986)).*fn3
Consequently, plaintiff has failed to state a claim for fraudulent inducement, and her Amended Complaint must be dismissed.*fn4

Sen. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., requested that the Securities and Exchange Commission take action to deal with what he says is the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's inability to protect clients from dishonest brokers. "Plainly, the Finra rules need to be strengthened," Markey wrote in a letter to the SEC. "[A]ll arbitration awards and settlements should be reported by BrokerCheck. Expungement should truly be rare, and arbitrators should not be allowed to decide that an award should be expunged. Rather, Finra should establish an internal process that determines whether a particular award or settlement meets stringent expungement criteria."
