List Of Fakers And Not Fakers
Organicgal007's List of Fakies and Not Fakies:
I am working on updating this list. It was first created back in 2007 and first posted to this website around 2008. Currently the EWG's ingredient database is not available and it is one of my tools for classifying ingredient's tested safety. I promise to work on this list and bring it up to 2012 as soon as the database is back to being available to consumers.
I'm only judging products/companies for their personal body care lines
(ie. shampoos, lotions, cosmetics, etc)
- Body care is not a regulated industry.
- The USDA Organic regulations/laws only extend to food items or body care items that are food grade.
- Because of lax regulations a body care company can use the word "Natural" any way they want, regardless of if they threw in chemicals and synthetics to the final product.
- A company can only use the word Organic (as in the product name, etc) on the front of their packaging if the product contains at least 70% organic ingredients
For a company to display a label that reads "Made with Organic ingredients" the product must carry 70% or more organics with no restrictions on the other ingredients.
For a company to display the USDA organic label, it must have 95% or higher organic ingredients with the other 5% being from an approved list.
To carry the new Natural Products Association Label the natural product must only contain pre-approved naturally derived ingredients.
The Eco-Cert label has fallen under scrutiny lately, for allowing synthetics in products (which is against it's own rules) with many interest groups now not trusting the integrity of the EcoCert logo. I'll let you decide if you want to trust this label.
2012 update: These companise have either changed their ingredients since my list was first created back in 2007 or their websites do not have ingredients listed, so I need to contact the companies to have them supply me with ingredient lists... I need to further research them in order to know where to place them. Let's keep fingers crossed these once "bad guys" have tunred in to good guys.
- Avalon Organics - (this is the old list of concerning ingredients: Cocamidopropyl betaine, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium oleamido succinate, Sodium PCA, Octinoxate, Oxybenzone, etc.) Now in 2012 these ingredients are no longer used. I sampled 12 product ingredient lists and saw that many ingredients are certified organic and the preserving agents used have low to no scores of toxicity. The two ingredients that stuck out to me that are being used that are questionable are: Retinyl Palmitate, and Titanium Dioxide. As soon as the EWG data base is up and running I will give final results on where this brand will land. More research is needed.
- Juice Beauty - (this is the old list of concerning ingredients: Retinyl palmitate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl (octyl) palmitate, Cocamidopropyl betaine.) More research is needed before I add them back to the main list.
- Kiss My Face Organics - More research is need. They have cleaned up their act considerably since my list was first created...Now to investigate their products again... No decision has been reached as to wear to place them...yet.
- Mill Creek Organics - (this is the old list of concerning ingredients: Cocamidopropyl betaine, Octyl dimethyl PABA, Acrylates copolymer) I don't see these listed now, but do see "sage derived" Phenoxyethanol. I need to research toxicity of this Pheno. Plus their website only lists ingredients for their baby line. Adult products have no ingredient lists??? More research needed. Not sure if they have changed their list at all, since I can't find it now.
- Organix - Their website does not offer ingredient lists. I need to do more research. Old ingredients ---> Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Dimethicone, (Behentrimonium 2 of 4 are toxic, they don't notate which of the 4 types they are using..so this one is iffy), Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone , Methylisothiazolinone, etc.
Fake Organics: These companies use synthetics and sometimes very little organics in their finished product. The ingredient names following the brand name are examples (and may not include a full list) of the exact toxic ingredients these companies use, that landed them on my No No list and the USDA Organic regulations do not condone use of. You won't see the USDA Organic logo on any of these brands, yet, they still try to trick the uneducated public into believing they are an organic product by calling their brand name " ____ organic" or slapping a label stating "Made with Organics". Being "made with" and actually being are two different things.
This list has been updated for 2012.
- Alba Botanica - Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone, Octinoxate , Oxybenzone, Peg-100, Sodium PCA, etc.
- Babywise Organics - Octyl Palmitate (I'm finding this to be another name for Dimethicone..correct me if I'm wrong), Retinyl Palmitate , Phenoxyethanol, Ceteareth-20, Dimethicone, Cocamidopropyl Betaine , Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, etc.
- Derma E Organic Expressions - PEG-7, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Dimethicone, Peg-175, PEG-200, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol, etc.
- Giovanni Organics - PVP (which is vinyl), PEG-40, Polysorbate 60, Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Octylmethoxycinnamate, Diazolidinyl Urea, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Cocamphodiacetate, PEG-8, etc,
- Head Organics - PEG-7, PVP (which is vinyl), Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Cetrimonium Chloride, etc.
- Lotus Touch organic & natural - PEG-100 Stearate, Dimethicone, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Retinyl Palmitate, Bisabolol,
- Natures Gate Organics - Old Ingredients ---> Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, PEG-120, Avobenzone, Octinoxate, Octisalate, Octocrylene, Oxybenzone, PEG-100, Dimethicone, Disodium EDTA, PVP, Dimethiconol. New ingredients are free of PEG's, but they still contain: Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Dimethiconol, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, and some others I need to research more thouroghly.
- Organix South Inc, a.k.a. Thera Neem - Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Lauramide DEA, PEG-7, PEG-40,
- Pharmacopia Organic - PEG-120, PEG-150, Phenoxyethanol; Chlorphenesin, Cocamidopropyl betaine, Dimethicone
- Sexy Hair Organics. i can't find even 1 website online, including the company website, that lists the ingredients. next time i'm at the mall i will jot them down, this is where I saw them first and was appalled by the list of toxins.
Fake Naturals: These companies claim they are natural, safe, part of wellness, or pure; but use toxic synthetics in their products. The words Natural, Pure, & Safe have no regulations guiding their use. Any company can make these claims regardless to if the claim is true or not.
This list is still under review for the 2012 update
- 365 by Whole Foods (so confusing to me at to why their body care products contain junk ingredients).
- Alba - Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone, Octinoxate , Oxybenzone, Peg-100, Sodium PCA, etc.
- Arbonne - Cocamidopropyl Betaine Coconut , PEG-80, Peg-120, Retinyl Palmitate, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol , Hexylene Glycol , etc. (their baby line is horribly toxic).
- Arm & Hammer Essentials Deodorant- propylene glycol, tricolsan, (they test on animals, this alone is enough to boycott them)
- Aveda - Many forms of PEG's, Dimethicone, etc. (sorry list not complete. I popped into an Aveda Salon because Aveda does not list online nor will reply to my emails. I did a brief look over of the bottles before it was frowned upon by the salon staff and I left.)
- Aveeno - Dimethicone, Petrolatum, Distearyldimonium Chloride, PEG-80, Trisodium EDTA, PEG-150, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
- The Body Shop - PEG-100, Parabens (1 product alone had 5 different types of parabens), EDTA, Yellow #5, Red #4, PEG-8, Cocamide DEA, Dimethicone, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Phenoxyethanol, PEG-18, PVP

- Lush - Triethanolamine, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, (this company is at least 1/2 honest...when listing their ingredients, they color code the natural & synthetic so it's easy to read, but they call them "safe synthetics", I have to disagree)
- Melaleuca - Dimethicone, PEG - 100, Phenoxyethanol, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Avobenzone, Ostisalate, Octinoxate, Octocyrlene, EDTA, Triethanolamine, PEG-7, PEG-60,
- Method - Cocamidopropyl betaine, Methylisothiazolinone, Sodium lauryl sulfate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Cocamide DEA, retinyl palmitate, (gets sneaky & shady by not disclosing the name of their preservatives or what type of color they use. it just says "preservative" "color")

Hit & Miss/ Murky Companies. These companies have some products that are really clean and other products that are not. Read Labels and know what you are choosing before you spend the $$. be on the look out for: Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone, Disodium EDTA, PEG's, Parabens, Urea, Propylene Glycol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine...if those are in it, stay away.
This list is still under review for the 2012 update
- Aura Cacia - Very Hit and Miss. Their certified organic line of esseintial oils are the bomb though, VERY high grade and very clean!
- Bare Minerals- I found Dimethicone in 1 product out of about 12 that I researched. Seems they have taken out most of their nasty ingredients. I used to have them on my fakers list.
- Beeceuticals - some products carry the USDA logo, other products have phenoxyethanol in the ingredients. I have spoken with the owner of the company and they are working on an enzyme based presevative to replace the pheno. so be on the look out for this positive change.
- Burt's Bees - the good thing, is each product tells you on the front of the bottle exactly what % it is natural. they are a pretty clean company. there's not much i would shy away from.
- Desert Essence - again a truly hit or miss. mostly miss. mostly on my fakers list with the exception of their pure oils and castile face soap, essential oils; those are truly natural and some even organic
- Eco-Bella. All of their body care is 100% clean, but their cosmetic line still carries several ingredients of concern, including parabens.
- EO - Phenoxyethanol, Retinyl Palmitate, Dimethicone; mostly on my fakers list, though their lip balm is really organic
- Honey Bee Gardens
- ikove
Please check out www.organicconsumers.org/bodycare for a great petition and more info on the bad companies.
If I upset anyone, It's NOT my intention. My only request is that if you don't agree with me, then please offer polite, supported proof so that I can also become educated on new findings. I'm not a scientist, only a consumer empowering myself and also trying to help others on the journey. Please no hate email or hateful posts/replies. I wouldn't do it to you, so please don't do it to me.
This is not an attack on anyone who works for a company or buys from a company I have put on my Fake Lists. If you work for a company on my fake list and you are mad I put you there, contact your company and be a postitive change, help them become cleaner!
I did my research thoroughly and read ingredient labels carefully. It took me HOURS & Months to put together this list. I also work in the industry and am VERY familiar with many of these companies. (I've worked in the health and wellness field for over 10 yrs)
I do commend the companies who use organic ingredients, because this is great for the planet! I wish all companies used more organics. However, I do not think combining them with chemical synthetics is good for the planet or for people. Some body care chemicals are toxic to create, while others are toxic to our health. So if a company is using organics and synthetics in the same product, one has to wonder...who's interest do they really have in mind?

There are no comments yethttp://bit.ly/fCah43This comment section isn't working for me! Keeps putting new typing at the top! Anyway, another section could be "unethical" for companies like Burt's Bees that is owned by Clorox and other companies that we think of as small, natural/organic & ethical companies. I've just been researching & I'm disgusted: read the Burt's Bees info page, for instance; you'd never know it was owned by Clorox!So glad to see your list,Susanna! So glad to see your listSorry about the messy comment :-(That first bit.ly link is to an article that exposes a lot of these companies. I just found it yesterday & found it very disturbing.Great list!Excellent work, Susanna! Thank you for doing your research. May we ask two things? First, if you please, would you be so kind as to add our USDA certified organic company to your Real Organic list? We are Terressentials - a small artisan crafting company in business since 1992 - and every product that we craft is authentically certified to the USDA National Organic Program regulations! We are the real deal! See us at: http://www.terressentials.com
Second, may we suggest that, as you've invested so much in this worthwhile project and as it's been some time since you posted here, perhaps you may wish to revisit your Real Organic section as it appears that there are a number of companies on your list (perhaps their presence on the organic list is a typo?) that are not certified organic and/or that have no actual certified organic personal care products. It also appears that there may be only eight companies on this list that are USDA certified organic companies, and not all of these companies have all of their products certified as organic.
For example (please know that we do not wish to make you feel bad and we are not criticizing, we simply wish to contribute some additional ingredient information pertaining to products made by some companies on your "real organic" list), in reviewing some of the companies' hair and skin care product listings, we found the following non-organic chemicals that are not permitted in genuine USDA certified products that are labeled as "organic:" cetearyl alcohol, sucrose stearate, stearylkonium chloride, phenoxyethanol, phenol carbonic acids, glycolic acid, lignins, glycoprotein, kaempferol, titanium dioxide, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, disodium coco-glucoside citrate, behenyl alcohol, glyceryl oleate, cocoglucoside, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, ethyl palmate, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, glyceryl stearate, hyaluronic acid.
One last thing, please, it is quite unfortunate, but necessary to point out that the government has mysteriously failed to enforce the organic regulations in the personal care marketplace, thus the rampant fake organic labeling shenanigans. However, it is interesting to see that consumers are finally fighting back against this widespread mislabeling of personal care products and the degradation of the word "organic" and, at this moment, there are two class action lawsuits pending over this faux organic personal care products issue. To learn more about the lawsuits, read the news release here: http://www.ceh.org/making-news/press-releases/29-eliminating-toxics/528-lawsuit-launched-to-end-mislabeling-of-organic-personal-care-products-
Once again, thanks for your commendable effort!You should add Bubble and Bee to this list. I have heard really great things about them:
http://www.bubbleandbee.com/Aboutus.htmlI am trying to find info on epicuren and california baby, have you ever looked into these products? I think epicuren would fall under fake naturals, I'm curious about california baby though.I find it interesting that you don't want any negative posts/replies to your list. However, you have no issues naming these companies as 'fakers'. I do believe you have done research in the sense that you picked up some product, read the labels and listed them here for everybody to see. Did you actually look into some of the ingredients that you have listed as being bad and actually find out what the purpose of these ingredients are? I picked one out that you have mentioned repeatedly in your faker list 'Retinyl Palmitate'. Did you know that this ingredient is a combination of retinol (pure Vitamin A) and palmitic acid and that there is research showing it as being an effective antioxidant? There was a press release in 2010 stating that it is linked to skin cancer. Then later the FDA said it was a scare tactic and there is NO conclusive evidence to support this release nor was it supported by any sort of published research. What they did find is that retinyl palmitate is one of the primary antioxidants found naturally in skin (Source: Toxicology and Industrial Health, May 2006, pages 181-191). FUNNY you said it isn't Natural? Please do yourself a favour and research all your ingredients before you start bad mouthing any of these companies.Sorry to all of you who I did not reply to in the past. I have not visited this post in quite some time.
In reply to Thetruth's comment above:
Hello. Thank you for giving me the chance to expand on my "negative posts/replies". In past forums, people would get very irrational and nasty. I refrain from that and request that others do the same. I would see a lot of comments bashing each other verbally and it just was not necessary. I don't like it when threads get full of "hate speech", as many I had seen in the past did. Words are so easy to toss on screen when not face to face.
I did do extensive research and did actually research each and every ingredient I listed. At the time I wrote this list, appox 2006/2007 it was widely suggested by all the research I had looked in to that Retinyl Palmitate was of concern. Retinyl Palmitate is not from Retinol, but actually turns in to Retinol after it has been absorbed by the skin. Thank you for adding new findings about the 2010 report, that was released years after I had created this list. That is what positive forums help do.Ms. Kaye... Thank you. and I love Terressentials. At the time I wrote this list (end of 2006 or close to beginning of 2007...oh how the brain forgets) I did not know of your company.
I am wondering if the companies I listed that you are questioning changed how they make their products from the time I researched. If they were on my "Good" lists, I looked at every single products they made at the time and if they made 1 that feel on a bad list, I tried to mention that. At the time I created this list, very few companies even carried the USDA label, and I was not trying to imply that the company was certified if they were on my Organic Yes list. My apologies if it was perceived this way.
I will definitely take a look at my list and re-vamp it since so many years have passed and many companies have moved categories (hopefully for the better). Since I wrote this, a few years later, I did finally stumble upon your great company, and LOVE their products. I will jump on to getting you listed. :-)Part 2 of my reply to "Thetruth":
My original post of this list is here: http://www.greenoptions.com/t/121/my-list-of-fakers-and-not-fakers (as you can see it was originally posted in early 2008, before the 2010 report you are kindly offering as new research). This current post that we are replying to seems to have been posted in 2009 (by looking at it's history included at the very top of post), also before the 2010 findings. I personally have not been back to this site in a couple of years to keep track. My apologies. My life has taken me in different directions since first posting this. I would like to add some new findings that came out in 2011, if I may:
"The most recent government scientific study, made public last January by the National Toxicology Program, an interagency group housed within the National Institutes of Health, has demonstrated that retinyl palmitate speeds photo-carcinogenic effects on test animals. The study, entitled Photococarcinogenesis Study Of Retinoic Acid And Retinyl Palmitate and conducted at a federal research center co-hosted by the FDA and NTP, found that mice treated with small doses of retinyl palmitate and ultraviolet light developed skin tumors faster than untreated, light-exposed mice or those treated only with a control cream. There were more numerous tumors on every animal treated with retinyl palmitate."
I also found this:
I did some more research and found this. Would like to share it: http://www.ewg.org/FDA_Should_Wind_Up_Study_Of_Vitamin_A_In_Sunscreens
Again, thank you for giving me the opportunity to expand on my previous research. I'm going to keep RP on my list of things to stay away from. - Homemade Face Masks And Skin Care

Vote for Pillow for council
Dear Editor:
It is with great pleasure and honor that I throw my full political support behind Carissa Pillow for Brentwood City Council.
I met Carissa a few months ago at a local community event, Brentwood Family Fun Day. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to get to know her on both a personal and professional level. I stand fully behind Ms. Pillow's vision for Brentwood, which includes creating a climate for attracting high-paying jobs and keeping tax revenue in our city! As a hardworking taxpayer, these are two of my main concerns for Brentwood.
It is quite apparent that Carissa is a caring, committed and community-oriented individual. She possesses a keen awareness of both the long-term and short-term needs of Brentwood, and she enthusiastically listens to the concerns of Brentwood's residents. Never have I met anyone who serves her community so tirelessly.
Because of her moral integrity and loyalty to her community, I cannot think of anyone more suited to the position of City Council.

No more of our tax dollars
Dear Editor:
As residents of this county get bombarded with measures from public agencies this November, it would be prudent to first consider whether or not these agencies deserve any more of our
Union contracts are legal and binding; therefore, employees are not obligated to agree to any changes during the duration of the contract. Let's see how much solidarity exists between the ranks when the gravy train ends.
James Nobriga
Wake up, America
Dear Editor:
Now is the time to make the right decision! Now is the time to cast your vote for the right man, not the party. Do what's best for the future of our country. No longer be fooled with rhetoric and false promises. Another four years, another chance to try to fix all the mistakes made, cannot be allowed to happen again. As we tell our children, "we learn from our mistakes," and then we move on to make better choices.
We need a president that will be a leader, not a divider. If elected, Romney will work for the people, strengthen our economy, offer a better health care system, and build up our national defenses. He will place us back in the number one slot as the leading and most respected country in the world.
He will renew the faith in all Americans and help to restore this beautiful country that we call the United States of America! Hope is on the way with the Romney/Ryan ticket.

Hints & Tips
- Obtain PPR for each airfield and ensure you have a reference number or name to hand in case it is needed. We found e-mails to airport operations to be most effective, receiving timely responses and clearances
- Research airfields and alternates to ensure they have suitable fuel available, whether it can be paid for by credit card and that you understand the handling requirements
- Take some cash as a back up
- Have a VAT number otherwise fuel purchases in Spain and Portugal will be impossible
Hope this is of some use and can be deciphered!

Re: Iberian Idyll - January EditionYou should check out the forum "ATIS - INC FUEL PRICE LEAGUE TABLES". (No, I'm not shouting. The name of the forum is in all caps.) There is a sticky thread for fuel prices, and if you feel like sharing more practical info about each airfield, there are threads for that. SteveH maintains threads that include links to each of the individual airfield threads, grouped by country.
/Peter Everyone can make mistakes. Yesterday, for instance, I thought I was wrong, but I wasn't.

OTL, the constitutional meeting included a majority of radical, but anti-French revolution liberals, and the constitution was way more radical than this. ITTL, the regency controls more land, and La Romana tempers some of the radicalism.
The intention is to foster land trades to make estates and farms single entities and thus more effectively run and increase investment in estates and farms to make them more effective. The conservative elements got a lot of things they did not OTL in the constitution, and had to yield on taxation.
September 1811: The final showdown between Napoleon and Kutuzov is nigh in A different Finnish War! |
I don#t know much about OTL constitution, but IIRC one base principle was that property owners should be allowed to use their property as they wanted. Progressive taxation would circumvent this IMHO.
OTOH progressive taxation is the base of our tax system, so it might be a good idea.
Its a smart move to begin the day with a new mistake - only fools do the same again! |
OTL it was very radical and Fredinand VII refused to abide by it once he had his throne back.
Progressive taxation only happens to non-interconnected estates (since you can only live on one of them) and only on land. The conservatives are placated by promises of land reforms that will allow them (and farmers) to switch land and have interconnected estates and farm more effectively, like the Swedish enskiftet and end communal farming on both farmer and estate owned land. Taxation does not become punitive until you have more than 4-5 estates (and only on the higher number of estates).

Exciting post Von Adler.
Is it the outline of the TL that the king will accept this constitution(however grudingly) due to the fact that La Romana and the others that actually fought the war will be stronger once 'Ol Nappy is defeated? Not to nag, but how are the spanish and portugese colonies doing at the moment? I really do love those situation-updates of how Sweden and her empire is doing, and how your POD has generated butterflies throughout Europe. Couldn't the Ottoman Empire become an important player in this game? |
soo update time?
September 1811: The final showdown between Napoleon and Kutuzov is nigh in A different Finnish War! |
It did not take long for the French to run into problems in Russia. Napoleon was convinced that the war party of Russia held teh Czar as their political hostage, and that enough losses would allow him to break free from their influence and make a new treaty. Crushing Sweden and the Ottoman Empire should be enough for Russia. However, if that was true, the Czar would have had the army fight at the border and be crushed by the superior French forces. This was not the case. In the north, the Prussian army, some 22 000 strong captued Vilnius and slowly marched north. Supply was hard, the Swedish, Russian and Royal Navies were roaming the Baltic at will, and especially the Swedish archipelago navy was harrying all coastal raods, at times landing Swedish sailors and marines to attack Prussian supply routes. Quarter was always given, and men and especially officers asked to join the 'Preußisches Freikorps', a small but growing exile Prussian army. War party defected Prussian officers accompanied the Swedes to speak of honour and the nation to men and officers, and the turnout was actually decent. Those that did not agree were allowed to march off, with their banners and swords, but without muskets and pistols or supplies, which were secured for the exile Prussian army. By the end of summer, the 'Preußisches Freikorps' consisted of a battalion in Copenhagen, one in Riga and two in Sweden. Sweden lended a frigate and a few transport ships for this exile force, but proved unwilling to actually sell any ships. Russia cited the constraints of the invasion, and Denmark clearly made it known that they needed to build up their own navy again, and that nothing could be spared. The British had to give up on the idea of the 'Preußisches Freikorps' having its own navy. It was recognised by the Foreign Office that none of the Baltic Powers were particularly interested in creating a Prussian or German navy. Prussia as a land power was quite enough for all of them, and the British quietly abandoned the idea. The Russians were using scorched earth tactics and were constantly skirmishing with the French light cavalry. "I learned in Finland the value of dominating the terrain around a superior enemy force. It wears him down, denies him reinforcement, supply, rest and refit. If I shall do half as well as the bastard Sandels in this, I shall whip this anti-christ from Smolensk to Paris." General de Tolly, in command of the main Russian army. 1811-07-20. By now it is clear to Napoleon that the Russians do intend to fight -just not here, and not now. To his frustration, the Russian army refuses to deliver a pitched battle. Sure, he catches a Russian corps under Bagration conducting rear guard action slightly north of Minsk, and thoroughly trashes it. However, Bagration would not be Bagration if he did not hold his corps together, like he did after Austerlitz. Decimated, but still a fighting force, it retreats eastward, burning fields and villages as it marches. The Austrians's advance is lacklustre, but at least not as plagued by desertions and lack of supply as the Prussian one. They fight a few inconclusive battles, especially one south of Slonim, which turned the Russian southern army, marching from Moldavia abandoning the campaign against the Ottomans eastwards - a threat to Napoleon's southern flank was stopped here, but so was the Austrian army. Enthusiasm was low and supply was dwindling. 1811-08-10. At the Battle of Riga (in reality quite a bit south of it), Bulatov, commanding mostly garrison troops, local militia, a decent force of tatars and irregular cossack cavalry with a core of veterans from his command in Finland, stops the Prussian advance towards S:t Petersburg and starts a slow but steady envelopment of the Prussian force. Constant skirmishing along the flanks extract its toll in blood, but otherwise, no large battles will happen in this region until the end of the campaign. "The Prussians are good soldiers. Disciplined, strong, well-drilled, if somewhat unimaginative. They really need to get the idea of light forces, it is the future. I should know, after Tavastehus." General Bulatov after the Battle of Riga.

Ask and thou shall recieve.
1811-08-11. By now Napoleon has realised that the Czar does not want peace, and will need to be forced to the negotiation table. The absymal performance of the Prussians, who are currently more or less stationary in Courland is dissapointing. A careful diplomatic ouverture to the Swedes, who are offered support for their annexation of Norway and Estonia, Livonia and Kexholm if they would join the war - and there's no requirement to join the continental system. However, Gustav IV Adolf sends the French envoy back with a scalding reply. "We are not so easily bribed, especially not by gifts that is not in control of the one trying to give them. It is a poor bribe that one needs to go wrestle for oneself, indeed. We may counter the offer - if you abandon your unrightful occupation of Spain, Germany and Italy as well as your invasion of Russia, we shall give you annexation of America, China, India and the British Isles." Part of the letter from Gustav IV Adolf to Emperor Napoleon. 1811-08-12. The French advance steadily despite being harried by Tatar and Cossack irregular cavalry. Early august, however, the II Corps, supported by Bavarian troops are checked when trying to advance on Polotsk by troops under Russian Generals Wittgenstein and Bagration. The Battle of Polotsk starts as a French success, where their infantry columns steamroll the Russian infantry ahead of them. But Bagration's single division in the field holds, and Wittgenstein arranges a strong cavalry charge, throwing the attacking French columns into disarray. While the battle is tactically a draw, the French attempt to capture Polotsk has been thwarted. The II Corps and Wittgenstein's forces will continue to skirmish and manouvre, but both forces are essentially guarding each other, unwilling to do battle and will not partake much further in the campaign for the next two months. Bagration however, would march eastward north of the French route to join with de Tolly's main force. With the Prussians held up in Courland, the Austrians unwilling to advance and expose their flank to the Russian Army of the Danube, which had abandoned their campaign aginst the Ottomans in Moldavia and inconclusively skirmished with the Austrians, the only way for the French are either straight ahead, or back to Poland. Napoleon still has a massive advantage in men and commands the cream of the French veterans. Thus the decision was to march ahead. Surely, at Smolensk, the Russian main force would have to deliver battle after all the failed attempts to force them to do so. In the meantime, the French light cavalry, used to dominate the field, found themselves outclassed by the hardy Tatars and even more numerours and hardy Cossacks. The Tatars fought in the old Mongol style, skirmishing with bow and arrow and avoiding melee combat when not clearly superior frustrated the French cavalry immensly. Despite numerical advantage, the French are unable to prevent Bagration's 2. Army from joining forces with de Tolly's 1. Army, unable to keep deserters from forming mobs waging a cruel and brutal war against Opolcheniye peasant militias and pure guerilla forces in the rear of the Grandee Armee. Spanish and Dutch formations are notorious in this, but the Germans are not much better. The deserters plunder what foraging parties that are successful in the burnt-out countryside, and even attack supply columns! The Grande Armée dwindles steadily from disease and lack of nutrition, the prolonged campaign, skirmishing and more disease.

Napoleon is correct - de Tolly does deliver battle outside Smolensk. But not for the reasons Napoleon wants him to. The French are suffering horrible attrition to disease, lack of nutrition and clean water and constant skirmishing with the irregular Russian cavalry (which to even further add injury to insult, seem the happily revel in the constant and exhausting skirmishing). Napoleon wants nothing else than to face his enemy in a pitched battle, defeat him decisively, do some mopping up and then have them sue for peace. However, Russia is not Austria nor Prussia. Napoleon have been declared the anti-christ by the orthodox church, and many Russians seem to actually believe it. They are determined to fight until the very end. At Smolensk, de Tolly delivers battle, not to protect the city, which he considers indefensible, but to protect his spread-out forces. 1. Army and 2. Army have not yet fully linked up, and both forces have corps and divisions spread out all over the place, not even considering the irregular cavalry and the multitude of regular cavalry fighting all over the place. The irregulars can be left to their own devices - they hardly expect to be able to link up with the main army at any time anyway, and will mostly do fine. However, de Tolly needs his regular cavalry to screen his forces from French pursuit in case of battle. The battle starts confusingly, and it is evident that de Tolly is out of his depth trying to coordinate so many separate forces at the same time. The Russian staff system is not up to the same standards as its French counterpart. Russian forces arrive at the battlefield piecemal, at irregular intervals and from many different directions. The French III Corps under Ney, with a core of hardened French veterans, but also Croat and Württemberger as well as Rhine Confederate troops (most of them decently well trained, but not veterans and not as motivated as the French), attempted to get between 1. Army and Smolensk, and looked like they would succeed, until they ran headlong into Bagration's Corps, which was positioned in teh southern part of Smolensk. Nay attempts to dislodge Bagration, who will not move at all. The Russians have thrown up earthworks which makes them almost immune against the heavy French artillery shelling, and they throw back three French assaults during the day. Tell the General that we are in Smolensk, and that we'll stay in Smolensk. Bagration, replying to a messenger from de Tolly during the evening of August the 15th. During the night, French light cavalry infiltrated the city itself, and in the fighting to drive them out, part of the Smolensk was set on fire. During the night, XI Corps under Murat arrives to reinforce the French, while de Lambert's cavalry corps (in reality a mixed division of cavalry and infantry from the reserve) and parts of 2. Infantry Corps, notably 4. Infantry Division under Eugen, Duke of Württemberg, causing the odd situation of Württembergers fighting, under French command, against Russians and Prussian volunteers under command of thier Duke.

Fixed, thanks.
September 1811: The final showdown between Napoleon and Kutuzov is nigh in A different Finnish War! |
Ohh, this is the mother of all bloody battles i think.
Lovin these last two updates Von Adler. You sure know how to depict a realistic AH battle in an exciting way! |
"Have you seen Bagration? The man is made out of ice. Straight out of the frozen forests of Russia, eh says little, does even less and never, ever flinches, even as cannonballs whistles past his head! The man is not human, I tell you!" Lieutenant von Hagendorff, part of the Freie Preussisches Legion, serving at the staff of Bagration's Corps. The morning starts as the day ended - Murat, who has assumed command after a heated argument with Ney, have attempted to outflank Bagration's corps, but are checked by the Russian reserves, while Ney dithers and refuses to attack in support, still smarting from the argument during the night. It is almost noon until Ney cannot pretend to be preparing or not having recieved the multiple orders to attack from Murat. By that time, an opportunity to split Bagration's forces in two and roll his line up in both directions have been lost. At noon, in the midst of Ney's lacklustre attack on Bagration's thinly manned earthworks, a strange situation emerges. 7. Württemberger infantry regiment, advancing in a solid firing line, holding it's banner high have ended up directly opposing the 5. Jäger-battalion of the Free Prussian Legion, and behind it, the staff of the Duke of Württemberg. As the Württemberger infantry march closer, the Prussians hold their fire. What looks like a test of nerves, with both sides not firing, as the Württembergers stop at thirty paces, soon turns into something else. "Von dir, o Vaterland, zu singen. Muß wahrer Liebe wohl gelingen, Da dich des Himmls Liebe hält." The tall man on the fine white horse behind the Prussians have taken off his headgear, revealing a big mop of curly brown hair known to quite a few of the men opposing the Prussians. Duke Eugen von Württemberg, nephew of the King of Württemberg have sung the lines. He actually bows towards the enemy line from horseback. For what seems like an eternity both sides stare at each other, and men's eyes dart back and forth among each other. And then, first one voice, then three, then ten, then a mighty crescendo from both the Prussians and the Württembergers arise. "Mein Württemberg, das du seit lange Gefeiert und mit gutem Klange Genannt bist in der weiten Welt, Genannt bist in der weiten Welt. "Mein Württemberg, das du seit lange Gefeiert und mit gutem Klange Genannt bist in der weiten Welt, Genannt bist in der weiten Welt." The song rings out among the rolling salvos of msuket fire, greatly confusing the French and Russians on each side of the Württembergers and Prussians. A French messenger arrives on a sweaty horse, screaming at the Württemberger officers, who shrug and claim they cannot control their men. The order to attack is yelled out in broken German. The Prussians lower their muskets, and the Württembergers, almost to a man, salute, then turn around and 'rout' in good order back towards the reserve. French veterans quickly fill the gap, urged forwards by Murat's staff, and soon the Prussians are embroiled in a bitter battle for the earthworks, going to the bayonet. The moment of peace has been shattered by hate and war yet again. Through the afternoon, the French fail to break through the Russian lines. Bagration, who knows reinforcements are on their way, concentrates on defending his positions, and does, as is his usual modus operandi very little, trusting his subordinates to deal with local crisises. The rest of the Russian 2. Infantry Corps arrives, and the 17. Infantry Division, under Count Pavel Stroganoff attempt to outflank Ney's attack, but is roughly handled by the combination of Ney's Grand Battery of 43 guns, and a quick cavalry charge. While most of the Russians are able to get into squares, or in some cases, in Austrian blocks, two battalions are completely ridden down, and the attack is blunted. During the evening, the fighting mostly peters out, with both sides being tired, and needing to provide food, water and rest for their troops, as well as new powder and more bullets. Reinforcements continue to pilfer in for both sides during the evening and the night, setting the board for an even larger third day of the battle.

Improvements needed in management of Recovery Funds
Oxford Public School District is among three
BOSTON, MA —State Auditor Suzanne Bump today issued three audits of local school districts (Oxford, Hudson, and Marshfield), each finding the school systems' lacked documented policies to ensure federal grant money is being spent properly and safeguarded from loss, theft, and misuse.
From the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, all three schools were awarded between $400,000 and $1.2 million in federal funds by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Under federal guidelines for the administration of ARRA funds, school districts and other government agencies are responsible for establishing a documented system of internal controls specific to the ARRA grants. When auditors reviewed each school's management of ARRA funds, neither Oxford, Hudson, or Marshfield had formalized such policies.
The three school districts were awarded the following ARRA funds: Oxford Public School District $459,249; Hudson Public School District $694,946; Marshfield Public School District $1,071,225.
Auditor Bump has called on the Oxford, Hudson, and Marshfield school districts to update their policies to comply with ARRA guidelines. Each school district has responded positively to the findings and is pursuing implementation of Auditor Bump's recommendations.
Normally, the Office of the State Auditor's (OSA) does not audit local school districts, but as a full partner in state government's oversight of ARRA funds, the OSA has been conducting school district audits specific to their management of the federal grants. ###

Milos Raonic may be ranked 13th at the Australian Open, but he has a lot of work to do to crack the top five in men's tennis.
On Sunday, Raonic lost 6-4, 7-6, 6-2 in straight sets to the great Roger Federer in the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Federer made Raonic run and exploit his weak backhand. The bottom line is Federer's experience and maturity paid off and despite Raonic's 19 aces, Raonic was unable to win many long points against the four time Australian Open champion.

Can't we all just get along?
This story on cnn.com caught my eye this morning:
In short, a melee broke out at a birthday party for a 3-year-old girl at a Fraternal Order of Eagles club in Ohio. In the end, 15 people were injured. Of those 15, five ended up in the hospital and one required surgery for a cut near the eye caused by a broken beer bottle.
Beer? What was beer doing at this party for a 3-year-old? The story also mentioned that there were at least 30 children among the 150 in attendance for this party. And 150 people at a party for a 3-year-old? Seems a little overwhelming.
What started the fight, according to the story, was a disagreement between the girl's 26-year-old father and the boyfriend of the girl's mother. The father faces disorderly conduct charges, and charges are pending against four others, according to cnn.com.
While the party attendance might have been a little crazy for a toddler's party, the bottom line is differences should be put aside at such gatherings and focus on what matters — in this case, the birthday girl. Of course, the booze probably impaired that intention, and things could have ended up much worse. Thank goodness nobody was killed in the incident.
My daughter remembers her third birthday party, which we held at Sweet Arrow Lake County Park's clubhouse in Pine Grove. She loved her Little Mermaid-themed party and helping me prepare for the big day. One of her favorite things was helping me stuff her Ariel pinata full of candy (and it was full!). I can only hope that this child doesn't have as vivid memories of her third birthday party that ended up with shards of glass and grown-ups battling.

Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans' estranged husband accuses her of using heroin while pregnant
Teen Mom 2 personality Jenelle Evans has been accused of using heroin while pregnant.
Her estranged husband Courtland Rogers has claimed she was using the drug before she had a miscarriage in January.
He made the claims after being released on bail following a complaint she made to police he assaulted her.
Speaking out: Jenelle Evans' husband Courtland Rogers has accused her of using heroin while pregnant
Rogers told Radar the pair, who hail from North Carolina, had been abusing prescription drugs when they got together last September, and things got worse from there.
He said: 'When we first got together we were both not doing too good on prescription drugs. We had problems.
'But then the drugs got bad on her half so she started getting bad.
'Every morning, throwing up in the toilet, my mom having to clean up throw up, we were staying with my mom. Her never feeling good, never leaving the room, always in the bed, always sleeping.'
He then claimed she had been using opiates while pregnant with his child, as well as a cocktail of other substances.
In rehab: Jenelle is currently receiving treatment for her drug problem
Rogers said: 'Well she was pregnant while still using heroin and getting her scripts from her local doctor which consisted of 90 Percocet 10 and 90 Lorazepam, which is better known as Ativan which she was still abusing.
'But because of the fact she was pregnant she actually did taper herself down a little.
'But when I say a little, to Jenelle Evans, excuse me Rogers, a little is really not that much but it was better. I was proud of her.'
The 27-year-old claims he did his best to help Evans, who is now in rehab, by hiding her drugs, but that only caused her to lash out at him.
He said: 'I've taken her bottles so many times and hid them. She hit me so many times for doing it.
'Last time she hit me 5 times with my own iPhone on the back of the head. So the drugs really destroyed our relationship.'
However he is hoping that now she is receiving treatment that they can sort out their differences and get back together.
He said: 'Long story short, she really is changing right now. And she really is getting better, for the better. Just like me.
'They arrested me yesterday. I got caught. I went to jail. I went to county jail. They transferred to Brunswick, which is where I live, where my charges were brought out.
'I bailed out and we will go to court for it but the way Jenelle and I are talking right now is like a very good friendship.
'And it's sober. She's not doing drugs because she's in rehab. I'm not doing drugs. I have the jail to prove it because they gave me a drugs test.'
Rogers was arrested on Tuesday and a police report states he assaulted Evans on November 16 last year.
It details the way he allegedly attacked her by means of 'picking her up throwing her against the wall, bashing her head on the wall, punching her in her head, back, stomach, and legs.'
Since first appearing on MTV, Evans has been arrested seven times on charges including breaking and entering, assault, violation of probation, and possession of drugs.
She also publicly feuded with her family and other cast members and has been forced to give up custody of her son Jace.
Her mother, Barbara Evans, is raising the three-year-old while the reality star gets treatment in rehab.

The annual Santa Clara County Fair is coming up soon: August 4-7, 2011. Maybe I'm old fashioned, or maybe it's because I grew up in the country, but I love this yearly event. I can't wait to see the cows and rabbits, the quilts and knits, the jams and pies. And getting into the fair on Thursday and Friday is FREE! Free parking AND free admission! Now, how can you pass that up? I want to see the exhibits, eat some cotton candy, listen to the live music, eat a candy apple, ride the rides, eat a corn dog, see the exhibits, and then eat whatever's left!
This year all of the county fairs across the country are celebrating 200 Years of Fairs. According to the fair website, the first recorded modern county fair was held in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in September, 1811. Panels depicting that first fair, the history and highlights of fairs since, and the future of fairs, will be on display in Gateway Hall as an exhibit titled "Made in America - The Story of the Modern Fair."
And, of course, you can read about fairs at the library, too!

Stimulating the brain with magnets is likely to improve the language skills of stroke survivors.
Researchers led by Caroline Barwood from the University of Queensland's School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences found marked improvement in the language skills of stroke patients after they underwent Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
TMS is a non-invasive method that seeks to target brain activity to facilitate the
reorganisation of brain regions with the purpose to alter language behaviours, reports The European Journal of Neurology.
The treatment involves placing a coil on the participant's head which uses electromagnetic induction to induce weak electric currents through a changing magnetic field, according to a university statement.
A group of patients that experienced strokes between one and six years prior to the study were recruited for participation and treated at the university's Centre for Neurogenic Communication Disorders Research.
"Eighty percent of patients treated with TMS showed improvements in language skills, most notably in expressive language, which includes naming, repetition and discourse. No language improvements were seen for those treated with placebo TMS," Barwood said.
The researcher said changes in patients' language scores were measured on standardised speech pathology tests. "The research strongly demonstrates that TMS may be a very useful and safe treatment method," she added.

Here's a roundup of all the recent news and notes regarding the Baltimore Orioles.
Hey guys we've had a ton of content since the winter meetings, so it's easy to miss stuff. Here's the latest from the Baltimore Orioles:
- The O's are in the market for a first baseman, and considering the lack of options on the free agent market the team has been tied to Justin Smoak of the Seattle Mariners.
- One of the first base options remaining on the free agent market is Adam LaRoche. While he would fit the bill of a middle-of-the-order bat and first baseman, the Orioles are hesitant since he would require a first-round draft pick to sign.
- Beyond first base, the O's are also targeting starting pitching. While they've been tied to several names, including Kyle Lohse, they've been talking contract with left-hander Joe Saunders.
- While they haven't made much of a splash this offseason, Baltimore has signed several minor league free agentsin hopes of cashing in once again on low-cost, high-reward players. Among the recent minor league signings are first baseman Travis Ishikawa and right-hander Daniel Schlereth.
- Baltimore is in discussion a contract extension with 2012 American League Manager of the Year runner-up Buck Showalter.
Also, be sure to follow the Orioles team stream for everything on the club!

Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 in Shadwell, or what is now known as Albemarle County, Virginia. He was born unto Jane Randolph Jefferson and Peter Jefferson. His mother was from a wealthy, and one of the first families of Virginia. His father was a self-educated man that became a country official and surveyor. (725) Sadly, Peter Jefferson died when young Thomas was only fourteen leaving him two thousand seven hundred and fifty acres of land.
Jefferson entered the college of William and Mary in 1760 when he was but seventeen years old. His habits were those of patience and severe application. Math was his favorite study, at which he very much excelled in. When came time for relaxation, he exercised his skill at the violin. Jefferson swiftly graduated in only two years with the highest of honors that the school offered. Afterwards, he studied law with a friend from William and Mary, George Wythe. In 1769 he began six years of service as a representative in the Virginia House of Burgesses. The following year he began building Monticello on part of the land inherited from his father. The exquisite mansion, which he designed in every... [continues]

Kaskade & Skylar Grey's "Room For Happiness" gets the single treatment
Kaskade, 'AKA America's Best DJ', will release his broody Skylar Grey collab "Room For Happiness" as the next single from his latest album Fire & Ice.
I first raved about the tune back in October, praising Skylar's restrained vocal delivery and insightful lyrics, and the melancholy electronica of Kaskade's production. It's definitely been a fave tune of mine for a while now.
The single will officially be out on January 31st, followed by the music video on February 10th. Or should I say, music videos, as there will actually be two released: one for the 'Fire' version of the song, and the other for the 'Ice' version. If you picked up Kaskade's album, you'll know that the 'Fire' version is the clubby one, and that the other is a haunting ballad.
Given Kaskade's pull on the dance floor and Skylar's track record as a successful feature creature, "Room For Happiness" should end up doing quite well on the club charts.
In other Skylar news, the alt-pop diva will be releasing an EP on the 17th of this month called The Buried Sessions of Skylar Grey. The EP will feature stripped versions of many of the hits she's penned, like "Love The Way You Lie" and "Coming Home". I would've preferred some more original material, but this will have to do as we wait (im)patiently or her album to drop.

El Cerdo
Our Bellies Sluggish With Goat Meat
Mostly sludge, with the requisite dashes of 'core, Vancouver's El Cerdo begins the record Mastodon-like, driving and hardcore-laced and noisy, and ends up a step closer to Neur-Isis post-sludge. (For the benefit of the English-only monolinguals, "El Cerdo" is Spanish for "the cerdo.") They're certainly worthy of some attention but, like countless other bands, they're floating in the sea of similar-sounding collectives and only stand out if you're really looking for them. In every capacity, they're guilty not of incompetence but of unoriginality, falling in the dreaded middle ground where there's nothing bad to say, aside from the "guilty of unoriginality" thing, but there's also nothing particularly compelling enough to make this review worth reading or writing. When all is screamed and done, El Cerdo sound too much like too many other, better bands to truly make an impact. But Our Bellies is their first full-length effort, so there's time, and where there's time, maybe there's hope for bigger things…
After the feedback-laden intro "Pigs," the angular "Gravity Is A Harsh Mistress" kicks in with a noise-rock styled riff. At that point, the Mastodon tendencies are in full force, although El Cerdo lacks that band's staggering instrumental chops. The follow-up track treads similar ground, and the grinding one-two of "Germ Welfare," with its staccato and dissonant riffing, and "Front Toward Enemy" is the album's highest point, a combination of the two most chaotic moments on hand, and the final two before an atmospheric aesthetic appears, tempering the noisiness with moments of Pelican-like graceful heaviness. Despite a general weariness towards the Neurisistodon type of metal these days, I find myself still enjoying the more post-metal tracks on Our Bellies, which is to say "the latter half of the record," but I'm aware that I'm probably enjoying them for the wrong reason. The cinematic quality of doomy post-metal actually helps the somewhat pedestrian song-craft—once the dreamy groove kicks in, I find myself drifting along in the vibe, not paying as much attention to the fact that I've heard this before. Everything here, from the crashing agonized downbeats of "Trials" to the spacey clean-guitar riff to "Dual Wield The Needler" blends all the lynchpins of post-metal into one giant pot of borrowed ideas.
My advice to El Cerdo, which they can take or leave entirely, would be to focus a bit more on pushing the boundaries. Mostly, this seems undecided about whether to be Mastodon or Neurosis (with dashes of Buzzov-en, Soilent Green, Rwake, et al), and falls short of being "the combination of Mastodon plus Neurosis plus Buzzov-en." It's more a list of its parts than the sum of them. Undoubtedly such directional decisions will fall into place over time, and this is a young band with a (possibly) brighter future, but Our Bellies is only "whelming," but neither "under-" nor "over-" that.

[/IMG]battle fury
power treads
And my record is 3/5/4. Wasn't that bad because I had great team mates. But using the hero for the first time was a challenge. Because I had to change my roles everytime I died. I only farmed and gained battlefury. Sigh..
As I tried to master the use of Mortred, I came along with alot of ideas depending on what role I should play and items I should build. Let's start off with the role playing:
"The Phantom Ganker"
Mortred, as a melee type hero have only 2 active skills, namely the Stifling Dagger and the Phantom Strike. Stifling dagger has alot of uses, if the hero opposite to your lane is ranged, it's better to use the Stifling Dagger to last hit on the creeps. It can also be used as a slow to enemy heroes. If you know you can take your enemy down, well, it's better to chase down starting with the use of this skill. It will give 50% slow to the opposing hero, but don't chase until you don't have boots of speed or whatever. This skill is also favorable in early and mid game, especially when you have an ally in the same lane..
The Phantom strike, Mortred blinks to a target with 100% attack speed with the maximum of 4 attacks. In the early game, you won't need this much until you don't have your 4th skill (Coup de Grace). Which has 15% chance to hit a critical strike. Phantom strike is favorable when farming. Because mortred doesn't do much of a push to a lane. It's much better to leave an ally alone the lane so Mortred and your ally will level up faster and at the same time, gain money. Once you have some sort of lifesteal or hp and mana regen. It's much better to keep on farming and wait for the "team fights or clash". Ironically in a clash you will survive or even had a kill or two, because of the Phantom Strike, this allows you to teleport even to an allied unit. You don't need the skill Blur much at early game, all you need is critical, damage and regeneration for better farming. (I'm a Filipino so if my english is wrong, correct me).
Stifling Dagger- Hurls a dagger which deals minor pure damage and slows the unit's movement speed for a short duration.
Phantom Strike- Teleports to a unit and attacks it. Gains 100% attack speed for 3 seconds while attacking that same target. Maximum of 4 attacks.
Blur (passive)- The Phantom Assassin becomes hard to see by blurring her body. Some enemy attacks miss.
Coup de Grace (passive)- Mortred has refined her hero-killing skills to a high degree.
If you're with an enemy like:
(which are typically gankers)
you need hp recovery and lane damage for your allies. Items like:
(mana regen. for the use of stifling dagger to last hit)
these items will basically make you survive in the early. (if you're a good player )
with enemy like:
and which are also melee type heroes, all you need is attack damage for pushing. Like:
for overall addition to all stats.
for larger hp. (You need this because the best use of Mortred is a tanker.. Somehow
or (but I prefer perseverance first because when farming, you'll be able to get any of the two even both. But if you build the perseverance, you'll be able to build battle fury and won't take too much time. Compared to the helm, upgrade to satanic? NO... You don't need LIFESTEAL because what you need is CRITICAL and even CLEAVE.
for attack speed and ms. Attack speed is much needed because you increase the chance of critical as you hit. What more if you had better attack speed
you really need the "BIRD" because you don't need to go back to the well to recover your hp. The time wasted will cost you around 800+ (if farming) and even more if you bought a .so you need a better way of item trasportation.
it depends on you if you buy this item. For me it's a must because as a killer, you need to seal the runes for a higher percentage of killing. And killing means MONEY and LEVEL .
the last item that you would might want to end up is this. Sange and Yasha is a MUST on Mortred. Much hp means more confidence on battle and agi ofcourse .
for more chance of critical, more chance of critical means the more you attack the more you commit critical. Rock and roll!
as said on my mid game guide.
this item is also a must because of it's effects. Hp and mana regen, cleave that fits perfectly with the critical and last but not the least, DAMAGE
Mortred needs to attack alot especially with clashes, because at late game, the 2 active skills (Stifling Dagger and Phantom Strike) are much much much needed. To slow and strike, means to chase and KILL. Yeah baby!
this item makes you INVULNERABLE.. SOMEHOW because with large hp, no one can kill you especially when you're trading damages with'em.
oh baby this item is a killer, many ranged hero like needs this item because the hero like Drow hits alot. So the manier and the faster you hit, means the greater % of critical you give each time you attack. Like Mortred, 15% of 4.0 crit damage+ 20% chance of 2.5 crit damage= 35% chance of 6.5x damage. Whewwww. What more if you had a divine rapier. You're damage is collosal. No one can withstand trading atleast 5 seconds. IF YOU BUILD THESE ITEMS.
That's my hero guide for Mortred, hope it helps. Sorry if it's kinda lousy cause it's my first

Energy, metal listing rules meet international standards: SGX
The bourse defended itself after a Straits Times article suggested an easing of listing rules for exploration firms.
Rather than amending existing listing rules and making them more lenient, SGX said it instead added another layer of listing standards on top of existing ones, which make it in fact more stringent to prospective listers.
"SGX has introduced new listing rules for exploration companies in mineral, oil and gas (MOG) and has not eased its listing rules," said Mohamed Nasser Ismail, Head of Issuer Regulation, SGX.
"The new MOG rules are additional to current listing standards, and are equivalent to standards internationally. For instance, the proposed rules include a higher market capitalisation of $300 million, which ST has pointed out in its article, as compared to the existing $80 million," he said, noting that SGX's current listing admission and requirements remain in place.

Today is a special day, July 19, 2012. July 19 is my beloved father's birthday. He was born in 1909 and passed away in 1975. A very dear friend has her birthday today also. She is 62 years young today.
But there is another reason this day is special for me. It was on this day July 19, 2007 that I joined ChristianBlog.
At first I was a free member. Most start that way. After getting to know a few people, I wanted to become a paid member. I remember the people that were here when I first joined. John was here of course, as was Greybear.
The others I remember that befriended me. Happytoberestored, savedbygrace, everfaithful, allforhim, almostgolden, poodlelady and one special lady laughingheart. She was in her 70's at the time and is no longer with us. There are several others and all the names are not coming to me at the moment.
On one of my early visits to the chat room, we found several of us had birthdays in September so we had a birthday party in the chat room, with cake and cookies and ice cream and all kinds of fattening not good for us food.
As most people to, I had a little turmoil at first. A blog was hijacked and turned into a debate about something other than my blog. Some of my earlier blogs were not very good. I think we learn as we go and our writing improves. We learn how to communicate what we want to say in a better more acceptable way.
There was one lady that sent me a private message saying she joined CB because of a blog I had written. That touched me greatly and reminds me why we write blogs. It is not just to express ourselves, although that is surely a part of it. It is to reach others, to share our knowledge of God and learn from others as we read their blogs.
This site is blessed by God. There are so many caring and loving people here. Not everything is always perfect and sometimes there are shall we call them little upsets.
Some of the people that were here when I joined are still here. Some no longer are active. There has been added several special people like blessingstoyou, blest and kreynolds the princess. There have been some that come and go.
I feel blessed this day to still be a part of ChristianBlog and my plans are to be here for some time to come. God be willing.

iPhone Insurance Digital Documentation
Thursday, November 12, 2009
At least partly because Royal Mail is too unreliable due to their strikes and disruption, we have now switched from sending physical paperwork documentation (insurance certificate, Terms copy etc) and are now 100% sending all insurance documentation via email directly to customers.
This is saving trees hence doing our bit for the environment.
Email is far quicker and far less likely to get lost or held up.
Email is not a perfect medium but it is far less at the control of industrial action so is far more likely to get through to you as a customer.
