MyLifetime.com/RealTimeRunway – Real Time Runway – Project Runway Trends and Tweets

At the Real Time Runway website at www.MyLifetime.com/RealTimeRunway, you will be able to find out about what is trending in every episode of Project Runway as you watch it. You will also be able to read every tweet about the episode as it is happening. This is really exciting because if you are watching it alone, you will have an entire community of watchers to talk to and you will be able to find out what is trending. You will be able to start doing this 3 hours before the show starts. You will be able to continue tweeting 3 hours after the show is over.

In order to follow the Project Runway trends and tweets, you must select your time zone. MyLifetime.com/RealTimeRunway website. If the Real-Time Runway is not active at that time, you can select a different time zone to see if it is active there. So far I have never been able to follow this because I usually end up watching the recorded versions. Many a time I wish I knew what other people were thinking. It would be great to see what is trending.

The project runway designers for Season 10 who are still in the show right now include Alicia, Christopher, Dimitry, Elena, Fabio, Gunnar, Milissa, Nathan, Sonjia, Ven. I am surprised and shocked that two of the designers left the show. One sneaked out in the middle of the night. I cannot believe that Andrea left that way. I also cannot believe that anyone would tell Tim Gunn that they wanted out. Kooan just walked out because he said that is not how he worked.  For them to be taking the place of two other people who would have given anything to be on the show is not fair.

I think the participants in this Season’s show are very talented. For me, the favorite is Ven. However, many are saying that he is a one trick pony. That he cannot seem to create anything else except his drapy looks. His drapes are gorgeous though. I do not know any woman who would not wear any of this designs. They are so different and so beautiful. You cannot walk into any store and buy the kind of clothes he designs. So I am rooting for him to win as I think it would be great to see his designs in the stores. Even if he does not win, I think many women would love to buy his clothes. I have seen some designers who did not actually win sell their clothes on the TV shopping networks. I think that is great as those who would not be able to afford these clothes would be able to buy them at a decent price.

There are also other talented designers that I would not mind seeing them win. One of them is Sonjia. She designs beautifully and I love her aesthetics. In the latest episode that I just watched, Melissa designed the most beautiful dress. I think that she also has potential. I think Alicia is also good because she can design great pants. I would like to see her go far. The rest of them have had successes and misses. I guess when you are in a high pressure situation like that, you will either thrive and cave in under the pressure. Also you can have bad days. Sometimes it is difficult to get inspired in the 30 minutes that you are usually given. For some inspiration cannot be forced.

I am always amazed at how they manage to pull it at the end. I also enjoy watching the trauma and drama that goes on in the Workroom as the designers try to create their designs. Sometimes the designs are so bad that even I cringe. The apron that Andrea made before she left was just so bad. It looked like a kindergartener made it. Elena seems to cause so much chaos in the workroom that it is fun to watch. It is also fun to see the different personalities of the designers and how they interact with each other. I just wish that I had someone to talk to as I watched. So do not miss the Real Time Runway and go to the site if you wish to do just that. It will be so interesting to take part in the conversations before, during and after the show.

Aboriginal Residential School Day Scholars Abuse Class Action Lawsuit Settlement – Other Lawsuits Filed

Aboriginal Residential School Day Scholars Abuse Class Action Lawsuit Settlement – Other Lawsuits Filed

Two Indian Bands, namely the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc and the Sechelt, have filed a claim in Federal Court. This claim is that aboriginals have not been given compensation in the Aboriginal Residential School Day Scholars Abuse Class Action Lawsuit Settlement  because they lived at home. In the settlement that was reached in 2006, residential school students were given compensation. This was two years before the apology in Parliament by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. However, the aboriginal groups were not included in this settlement.

Those who filed a claim in the Aboriginal Residential School Day Scholars Abuse Class Action Lawsuit Settlement  received automatic payments to all those who lived at the residential schools. The day scholars were not included in this group because they attended the school during the day but went home at night. As a consequence, these day scholars were not eligible to get the payments. The payments were actually $10,000 for the first year and $3,000 for each year after the first year.  Compensation was also sought for the cultural and psychological damage caused by the schools.

Apparently many of the aboriginal people of Canada were not included in the agreement because they did not live at the residential schools. They also suffered the cultural, linguistic and social damage. Apparently the payments are also for any abuse suffered at the school and the aboriginal people who excluded from them.  Each person who suffered abuse will be examined on a case by case basis.

Aboriginal groups have asked for a long time to get the same payments as compensation for the time that they spent at the residential schools. However Ottawa refused to pay them anything. The government felt that the aboriginals did not suffer the same way as those who lived at the schools. It does not matter if they were day scholars or if they lived there. The students suffered the same amount of abuses and deep trauma. So they should not be excluded based on that alone.

The current lawsuit is for day scholars at two residential schools which are the Kamloops Indian Residential School and the Sechelt Indian Residential School. There are bout 300 day scholars at the two schools. However, this lawsuit will eventually expand to include everyone who is eligible in Canada. Some First Nation groups in certain provinces have already shown that are interested in taking part. These provinces are Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Many day scholars in other regions have shown that they are interested in joining with the First Nations.

There is also another group that was not given any kind of compensation in the Aboriginal Residential School Day Scholars Abuse Class Action Lawsuit Settlement . This group filed a class action lawsuit in 2009. These were for those students who went to day school and not residential schools. Even though these were students who did not live at the schools, they still suffered abuse. They therefore can make claims for abuse.

Ninety percent of the about 80,000 payments have been made. The residential schools were created in the 1870s. These residential schools which were created by the federal government were then given to the different churches. The aboriginal children who were put in these schools were then severely punished for speaking their languages. There was physical abuse that was very damaging to the children. These residential schools then were closed. The last one was closed in 1996.

The Canadian Prime Minister has since apologized for the presence of these schools and for the abuse suffered at these schools in 2008. Apparently the reason for these schools was to make sure the children did not speak their native language or act in any manner reflective of their culture. This is a sad state of affairs and it went on for far too long. Not providing compensation to them, is like adding insult to injury. There is no reason why those who attended these schools and were abused should not get the same compensation as those who actually stayed at the schools. After all, they also suffered the same kinds of abuse during the time that they were at the school. So they should get the same compensation. Keep looking out for more information on the lawsuits.

Www.ActosLawsuit.co/Settlements.php – Actos Bladder Cancer Class Action Lawsuits and Settlements

Filed under Legal by on 2012/08/15 at 10:23 pm {no comments}

Www.ActosLawsuit.co/Settlements.php – Actos Bladder Cancer Class Action Lawsuits and Settlements

At the Actos Bladder Cancer Class Action Lawsuits and Settlements website at www.actoslawsuit.co/settlements.php, you will be able to get information and all the lawsuits and the settlements. There are many lawsuits and pending settlements because all those who took Actos have found out that they have bladder cancer. Actos is the Type 2 Diabetes drug manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceuticals 15 years ago.  It promised that it was a safer drug that could control the glucose. It was supposed to be the best drug for Type 2 Diabetes because it did not have the side effects that other drugs that treated the disease had. The drug is actually connected to bladder cancer, heart attacks, strokes and congestive heart failure. The public and those who took the drugs were never informed to these and other side effects.

Since Actos has not been taken off the shelves, many people who suffer from Type 2 Diabetes are still being prescribed Actos for their disease. even there have been studies that show that those who take the drug for more than 2 years have an 80% risk of getting bladder cancer. This can be prevented so easily and yet nothing is being done.  There are records that show that the company knew about this dangerous side effect and yet chose not to tell anyone. They just announced the benefits of the drug. The company actually knew about this risk before the drug went to market but the company decided to ignore this. This is all information that was obtained from the Actos Whistle Blower. Apparently the company even hid this dangerous side effect from drug regulators.

You can find out about all these at the Actos Bladder Cancer Class Action Lawsuits and Settlements website at www.actoslawsuit.co/settlements.php. You would be interested to know that there are multidistrict litigations in Louisiana. There are also mass torts in California and Illinois. There are also a lot of private lawsuits all over the nation. The multidistrict litigation or MDL was established in early 2012. Even so, the judge is already working on the details of the settlement.

For all the Actos victims, this is good news that the judge is moving forward. It may be premature but it is good to know that settlements are already being looked into. This means that the judge is willing to make sure that all those who have suffered after taking Actos will get some kind of monetary compensation. This is good to know. Some people do not want to file a lawsuit against the company for one reason or another. However, if you have been harmed by taking the drug because you did not know the side effects. It is the company who should have warned you that if you were to take this drug to treat your Type 2 Diabetes, then you may get Bladder Cancer. Since this was not told to you, you continued to take the drug for many years because you just did not know that you could get cancer. So it is important to take action now against the company for misleading you into taking the dangerous drug.

If you have been harmed, getting compensation may not be enough because your life my already be in jeopardy. However, it is better to get the compensation because you will know that the financial settlement could be something that you may need in order to take care of your medical bills. This will also mean security for your family. You deserve to get the money and what the company has done to you is not right by any means.

If you have been taking Actos and would like to take some kind of action against Takeda, you can get help online. You can actually get a free Actos case evaluation. You can fill out a form online if you wish to speak to legal experts on your case. You will have to enter some personal information like Name, email city, state, zip. phone number and your diagnosis. In terms of diagnosis, you will have to select from Bladder Cancer, Heart Attack, Congestive Heart Failure, Other and Unknown. There is also a text box for any other comments that you wish to make.  I would suggest that you take part so that you can make sure that large drug companies do not take advantage of you and your health in order to make a profit. They definitely should be held accountable.

Bluetooth Headset Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Filed under Legal by on 2012/08/14 at 10:54 pm {no comments}

Bluetooth Headset Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

You can take part in the  Bluetooth Headset Class Action Lawsuit Settlement if you have a set and you bought it from June 30, 2002 to February 19, 2009. This lawsuit is against Motorola, Plantronics and GN Netcom. They are the makers of Jabra headsets. Apparently there was not enough advertisement that using the headphones can cause hearing loss if the volume is turned up too high.

The Bluetooth Headset Class Action Lawsuit Settlement is worth $1.2 million. Notices will be sent out to all those who are eligible to get compensation in this case. However the compensation is nothing in this case. Yes that is right. There is $1.2 million but nothing for you who may have suffered hearing loss. Great! So where does the money go to? Apparently $100,000 will go to 4 charities. These charities will be selected by the plaintiffs.

Because of this settlement, the manufacturers of the headset have also agreed to put warnings about the hearing loss. However, very few people will even read this warning. How many people actually read the documentation that comes with a headset. All you do is get it out of the box and plug it in. It is not rocket science. I think hearing loss if you listen to music that this too loud is also common sense. Why do you need to be told that. I guess that is why nobody will get money from this settlement. It is just too idiotic. However the lawyers will still get their money. The trial lawyers will get $850,000.  Nine plaintiffs will get a total of $12,000 in incentive payments.

You still retain your legal rights in this case even though you do not get a dime. This means that you can still exclude yourself from the settlement. I think this is the best route to take in this case because you will not get anything. At least if you exclude yourself then you have a chance to sue the company or even to take part in other lawsuits against the company. If you do not exclude yourself, you will get nothing in terms of compensation and you will also not be able to sue the company or to even get a chance to get compensation in other lawsuits against the company. However excluding yourself does not mean that the lawyers will not get paid. No matter what you do, the lawyers will still get paid. So basically they are the real winners.

If you decide not to exclude yourself, you can object if you wish. However, you may need a lawyer. However, please do not go out and get a lawyer because that can be very expensive. Usually you will be able to use the lawyers who are appointed by the Court to help you. The final hearing is supposed to be on July 6. One of the objections that you can make if you decide to do this is that the case should be dismissed because it has not merit. You are not getting anything from this case anyway. So why let the attorneys get all the money. If it is dismissed then the lawyers will not get a dime. So this might be the best thing to do if you decide to stay in the settlement.

If there are enough people who object to this settlement, there is a good chance that this case will be dismissed. That is the only thing that you can do. I have bought quite a few headsets and I have never even opened the documents that come with it. Why would I even want to read it when there is nothing to assemble. You also do not need any instructions to operate a headset. It is as easy of plugging it into the computer and turning the volume up and listening. That is it. So a warning in any of the documents will not be read by most people. A lot of people do not even read the manual for things that actually need to be assembled. A lot of people prefer to start trying to assemble than to read. The one good thing about this settlement is that Judge Fischer lowered the attorneys fees on July 31, 2012.
