Michael Todd True Organics
Our Products
"Made in the U.S. with certified organic ingredients, without added water and free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrance or artificial dyes."
Nature got it right. We put it in a bottle. MICHAEL TODD true organics represent a synergy between science and the certified organic plants and fruits we use. The result is an unsurpassed skin care experience that enhances and protects the skin for years to come without the use of potentially harmful ingredients so common in many other brands. The products are developed and made in the United States at FDA Registered and USDA Organic Certified facilities under the guidance of experienced cosmetic formulators and chemists and registered and certified aromatherapists. So you know just what you're getting, we state on each product the percentage of certified organically grown plants and fruits used and if it is vegan.
Cruelty Free. MICHAEL TODD has never participated in animal testing on our products or ingredients.
Keeping it Fresh. For maximum freshness, we use "airless" dispensers and other packaging designed to protect the ingredients from the effects of air and light.
Our Ingredients
"You'll love what's in it. You'll love even more what's not."
Most skin care products are made with bases of Water (cheap), Fruit Juice (loaded with sugar), Alcohol (drying) or Petroleum (suffocates the skin) that make up the majority of their contents. We don't. Each beautifully craftedMICHAEL TODD true organics product starts with a base of 100% Certified Organic Aloe Vera Juice. This ancient herbal remedy has been called "nature's first aid kit" because of its anti-bacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. With more than 75 nutrients including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins, Aloe Vera hydrates, softens, soothes and nourishes the skin. To this we add thoughtfully selected organic ingredients known for their effective, results oriented skincare properties.
Take a whiff. MICHAEL TODD true organics smell so good it's like dessert for your face. Depending on which product you choose, the first thing you'll notice are the delicious aromas of sweet orange, calendula, lavender or chamomile, aromatherapy ingredients which promote relaxation and wellbeing. You'll also recognize the scents of carrot, coconut, cranberry, grapefruit, lemon, tropical fruits, even pumpkin. Then there are sea algae and kelp, green, black and rooibos teas and acai berry to nourish and protect. We use minerals like Charcoal and Kaolin Clay for their detoxifying properties, and refreshing essential oils (olives, jojoba, neem, seabuckthorn seed and tea tree) and ultra-rich moisturizing butters (cupuacu, shea and mango).
Just as important as what we put in our products... is what we don't put in. All MICHAEL TODD true organics are formulated without potentially harmful parabens, sulfates, artificial coloring, synthetic dyes, mineral oil, phthalates or triclosan so you can use our products without health concerns.

South Salt Lake • Moving to Salt Lake City from a city with a vigorous Chinatown neighborhood, I immediately noted the culinary absence when I arrived. I craved the vibrancy and diversity of the cuisine of my home city. I scoured the Salt Lake Valley for years, every so often finding fleeting solace in a particular dish here or there, but never quite finding the eclecticism of home.
When in Rome, though, do as the Romans do; slowly I adapted. Mind you, man cannot live off lettuce wraps and General Tso's chicken alone. And I confess to more than once breaking down at the sight of yet another cream cheese wonton — don't judge, this is the life of a pretentious food obsessive.
When officials broke ground in 2011 on South Salt Lake's Chinatown project, I'll confess to initial skepticism. Skip forward to 2013, and phase two of construction is busily unfolding. When I spied Ho Mei BBQ and its tag line — "an authentic Chinese food adventure" — it was hook, line and sinker for this chap.
To call Ho Mei BBQ's menu extensive would be to call the Bonneville Salt Flats ever so salty. I gave up counting individual dishes once I passed the 200 mark. It's easier to list the multitude of categories: soup, appetizers, barbecue, rice rolls, noodle soups, rice plates, fried rice dishes, porridge, noodle preparations, vegetables, chicken/beef/chicken/seafood selections, Sichuan, sizzling hot plates, clay pots and "hometown"-style items.
With such a bewildering choice, it's easy to default to more recognizable American-Chinese dishes. My joking aside, if sweet and sour chicken is your thing, then by all means. But Ho Mei BBQ demands adventurous souls and rewards them aplenty. If you're such an explorer, don't be afraid to enlist your servers; they'll happily guide you through the menu.
Prospecting Ho Mei BBQ's menu doesn't require as much bravery as you might think, either. I don't suggest jumping straight in at pig stomach with jalapeño ($8.95) or beef tripe with pickle vegetables ($8.95), but dishes like an appetizer of fried crispy buns ($3.50) or an entrée of tri shredded stir-fried udon ($9.50) would go down well in most homes across Utah. The former: rounds of crunchy, calorific fried bread with a mayo-esque dip. The latter: thick Japanese udon noodles cooked with strips of tender pork, chicken, beef and bean sprouts in a simple, delicate coating of soy sauce. Both delicious, both thoroughly accessible.
Willing to journey deeper? Preserved meat stir fried with string beans ($8.95) would be gobbled up by most folks despite the curious name. Crisp beans are given an unctuous finish with the preserved pork, which is really just a mental hop, skip and jump from something far more commonplace like green beans and bacon bits found on the Thanksgiving table.
One of my favorite dishes is salted fish and chicken fried rice ($8.95) — rendered admirably at Ho Mei. Quality fried rice is the base, with none of that carrot and pea nonsense, brought to pungent, vivid life with flecks of salted fish. If you're good with anchovies or Thai fish sauce, you'll be safe here.
The same salty flakes stud the salted fish, diced chicken and tofu in clay pot ($9.25) — from the Clay Pot section of the menu. Another intimidating-sounding dish is the scalding hot, bubbling clay pot, but in practice this won't frighten anyone who's seen a casserole before, and the flavors are more subtle than sledgehammer. Indeed, Chinese dining is often more about texture than taste.
Rice rolls ($2.75-$3.85), for example, are a great plate for two to share to start, highlighting this element to Chinese cuisine. Choose from 11 options, which wrap your chosen ingredient in an impossibly silky roll rice noodle, finished with sweet soy sauce. I loved the Chinese doughnut rice roll ($3.25), wrapping a crisp bread stick inside said pillowy soft noodle.
Of course, not every dish is going to translate perfectly to local taste buds. Sichuan spicy diced chicken ($8.95) was fine in flavor but finicky in function. The spicy Sichuan base itself was enjoyable; the chunks of bone-in chicken, less so. Prices are shockingly reasonable, though — it's easy to take a plunge on something new and risk little; virtually everything here is less than $10.
And then there are Ho Mei's signature dishes — BBQ ($4.25-$9.95), offered daily and in great variety: roasted pork, BBQ pork, BBQ spare ribs, roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, steamed chicken, stewed beef, spiced duck wings, spiced pig stomach, spiced cuttlefish and spiced intestine. Indeed, racks of hanging barbecue will likely greet you as you enter the clean, uncluttered restaurant space.
Barbecue can be ordered à la carte or together as part of either a Two Delicacy ($7.95) or Thee Delicacy ($10.95) combo. Newcomers to Chinese BBQ should start with the roasted pork ($6.25), which when executed well is a porcine delight of crispy, meaty and fatty layering.
A meal at Ho Mei BBQ concludes simply with the bill. There's nary a fortune cookie in sight, and for this happy eater, I think I've found a new home away from home.

In Applies to Oranges, Maureen Thorson's debut full-length collection of poems, oranges, spiders, tourists, and a Zenith television conspire to turn the conventions of narrative on its side. These poems fracture and refract narrative by crafting a story from seemingly absurd symbols whose recursive use defies coherence, but expand the imagination by gradually revealing an anachronistic, nostalgic, and cinematic world. The precision of these poems transforms a simple escapist fantasy into an internalized landscape that reveals both humor and sadness with successive repetition.
For the Special Edition Broadside & Book click here.
Praise for Applies to Oranges
"Thorson is an orphaned Victorian trapped in a robot spider who wants badly to sell us madeleines woven of fake hypnotic oranges, but all time has converged in these lines, the astronavigation is cluttered with satellites, her suicidal flower arrangements can't be decoded, the 'signal / fail[s], decay[s] into ornament,' and real grief of lost love and the motion picture clips of it we project onto foreign scenery make us realize that 'the radio plays / different stations, and you have no radio.' The commerce of fictional, degenerating visual language and memory confuses us and comforts us as we—as Thorson—wrestle with its insidious, satisfying infestation of our individual and collective experience. This is wonderful, deeply, and superficially felt work." —Cathy Eisenhower
"Maureen Thorson's first full-length book is a necessary satellite signal made of a uniquely singular ache and echo. She deftly performs a precise dissection of heartbreak's timeless ability to blow open the universe of our lives and allow our fascinating agonies to burst into being. Applies to Oranges is a collection that is, at once, a mythic tale of loss and a microscopic look into the delicate beauty of broken things. These wonderful poems demand that you linger in their haunting world, and as Thorson says, 'breathe slowly, if at all.'" —Ada Limon
"Maureen Thorson's narrator addresses a former love (who may as well be us) in a series of beautiful sonnetlike pieces that cohere in a sequence like shards in a mosaic—some bits darker, some brighter, each tight. "I want to diagram the light that shines out through the holes you pricked in me," she says. "Instead, I retract into extravagant gestures, diaries, bonfires, the psycho gloss of wilted blossoms, dead-eyed stamens stitched in rows." Thorson's Applies to Oranges sings and surprises in both new and timeless ways, as love's decay blooms gorgeously and is borne away by dissipating spiders." —Shanna Compton
"There are many ways to achieve beauty, and Maureen Thorson's is one of the most direct."
—dbqp: visualizing poetics
"Thorson's first full-length combines the nuanced clarity of the traditional sonnet sequence with the programmatic experiment for which Ugly Duckling has become known."
–Publisher's Weekly
"In this collection of fifty-nine untitled prose poems, nothing is wasted; indeed, it is the remains, what's left over after the fruits of joy have been consumed or lost, that gives the work its vision."
"Applies to Oranges accomplishes what the best lyric poetry sets out to do: it resists the temptations of resolution and closure. Instead it frees language to sing about the only sure thing, which is the heartache of our world's impermanence"

Howdy, I'm out of the office until Thursday the 23rd.
I miss you,
I'm out of the office on vacation. I will be pretty much unreachable between today and July 17.
In case of emergency please contact some other poor sap , or dial 911.
Brock Kirby
I'm home sick today. Not to be confused with homesick, which is more of a sad feeling instead of bodily discomfort.
I aim to identify what is wrong with my body and destroy it with sleep and water and medicine and orange juice.
I'll be responding to emails when I'm awake.
Thank you.
I'm out of the office for the rest of the afterooon. Please call my cell if you need immediate assistance. If not, I'll respond to all emails this evening or tomorrow morning.
Stay in school,
Jordan Muse
Hi, I'm travelling today, and will be slow to respond.
sky falling?
I will be in Africa until August. There are no phones or computers in Africa.
Hi. I'm out of the office for the entirety of August.
In the meantime, enjoy!
I will be out of the office from July 21st through August 1st attending the 2011 World Championship Lobster Rodeo in Maine.
I will have no access to email or reliable phone service.
Please contact Hanna Nesper Newell or Nick Pirtle with any urgent issues regarding P&G business.
Liam Doherty
I will be out of the office for a few weeks on my wedding and honeymoon getting very drunk.
I will be back August 15th.
I will NOT be checking emails or taking calls.
If you need any assistance, please contact Pam Atkinson and she can direct your inquiry to the correct person.
If you have received this message I am either away from the office for the day or longer, in this case it is longer.
I will be out of the office starting Monday July 25th - Friday July 29th. Even though I am on vacation, I will not use my spare time wisely and will most likely use technological devices to check my e-mail. I will be slow to respond and may be of some use but most likely will just get in the way while trying to help from afar. So it's best I just stay out of it and read about all when I return.
Should you need immediate assistance please contact either Project Managers; Brian Mork or Chris Kwon.

The bait and switch
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 03-01-2012 - 8:18am
About a year ago I was at a party and a husband said his wife pulled "the bait and switch". (She was there and nodded.) He was referring to the job she had premarriage to her stay at home status now that all the kids were in school. I guess there was some agreement when they got married that she would work, then she decided not to but he did not agree with this change, then an agreement she would work when all the kids were in school but she was not trying to get a job and the youngest was in 2nd grade. I was very uncomfortable with the conversation and did an "exit stage left".
Over the past year my husband and
|Fri, 03-30-2012 - 8:30pm
It is rude for the husband to say that but you're looking at a couple who does not respect each others opinion so what do you expect?
|Fri, 03-30-2012 - 8:25pm
It's only a bait and switch if you have an agreement going in and decide to change the rules without your partner's consent.

|Fri, 03-30-2012 - 8:52am
My (then fiance, now husband) and I did disuss SAH/WOH before we got married but it wasn't discussed in a set in stone way or that we couldn't change our minds about like what the bait and switch sounded like here.. What's nice is having the choice to decide and the reasons for SAH have taken he and I both back to those reasons why we wanted a SAHP before we got married too.....
But everybody's different, And I agree with your thoughts here.
|Sat, 03-17-2012 - 12:04am
Now, we have a special needs son. I home school. Which my husband is very happy with. He hated school, because he was very smart. I see that if I worked I would have had endless meetings at the school that I would have been called from work for. My husband, as the now main provider (I made more than him when he was a student) would not be able to leave his job for these meetings at the school. For us, it works. We agree about money most of the time. I pay the bills, he does the taxes. When I think about other boyfriends I had, I know I am lucky to be with my husband because we do think alike when it comes to money and children.
The situation in the first post...I would leave. Sorry, none of my business - don't air your laundry with me.

Will always fade to black.
Things. Don't. Change.
I'm doing this myself.
Will always fade to black.
Things. Don't. Change.
I'm doing this myself.
"Don't try to hide the mistakes I've made this time. But please try and listen. Cause I'm breaking my heart tonight, so you can see what's inside."
-The Rocket Summer:) (What We Hate, We Make)
Today began my first week of self improvement.
I'm devoting myself to bettering my life and bettering myself.
I've been told this isn't necessary, but it is. I'm far more flawed than anyone realizes. I've gained so much negativity this past year, and I'm haunted by too much. I've been fighting this internal struggle for too long, and I'm tired of waiting for it to pass. I've lost myself, and I look in the mirror and wonder what happened. I'm not who, what, or where I want to be anymore.
I want myself back. I want the optimism, the faith, the love, the sense of careless adventure. I want to rid my life of the temptation, the guilt, the jealousy, the anger, and the fact everything bad haunts me forever. I used to love more than hate. I used to find the good in anything. Now I only find the reasons to be careful, because good may not be good after all.
So I'm documenting this journey, if you will, of finding happiness with myself. Because I can't be truly happy, unless I'm happy with myself. And I want to be truly happy. For me, for you, forever.
All day, every day.
I am now accepting new friends.
I feel so alone sometimes.
"I'm never gonna be good enough for you, am I?"
My shoes may be too dirty, worn out, and on the wrong feet,
But one day, you'll see how far I've come.
And wonder how in the hell they've stayed intact.
You can ask me now, or ask me then.
My answer will stay the same.
"I cannot be broken."
I'm making new friends.
I can sit outside in the cool night air; the warmth of the setting sun still on my skin.
The rain is the only water that ever streams down our cheeks.
Emptiness only exists as the absence of words, when the world's beauty leaves us speechless.
The only things to be lost are ourselves, in moments we feel alive.
People really do burst into song.
Money is the last things on our minds, because what matters most, costs not.
No one you love ever leaves.
Then I realize, this is my heart.
Auditioned today. Aside from nerves, I'd say I did a lot better than I expected, having not auditioned in two years. I was taken aback at my singing ability in that theater. Must have been good acoustics in there ;).
But, I'm a bit bummed that I didn't get a callback, but it's not the end of the world. Faced fear #3: Rejection. I just keep telling myself that I'll get 'em next time. And I will.
At least this way, I'll have more free time to suck at pool and get my ass kicked by Colby. :)
Free time sounds quite good.
Goodnight Tumblr.
Might be the death of me. I don't know what's been wrong with me.
No matter what I do to fill the empty space, it's always empty.
I get so angry sometimes, so sad. And I take it out on one of the only people that seems to care. I'm sorry. You don't deserve that at all.
You see, I've got this internal struggle. And you don't understand. But I'm trying to overcome everything, and not just for me.
"Give me a chance to prove that I could be your one, your inspiration. Cause I swear I won't mess it all up; give me a try. I know that I have my own flaws, but they just build my motivation."
I don't want to lose this time.
And it's not even Monday.
Oh, how I love pre-audition anxiety.
To work on myself. Going on five years, and I need to stop.
Bullets and tongues, so daring to bite
I've cast away demons but never your spite
You look down upon all that I have done
Your words they deceive me as webs have been spun
Banished are the unloved, my ship has set sail
You sulk in silence at inadvertent betrayal
Castles collapse, even strong walls as these
Leave us all broken, and down to our knees
Guilt-stricken, I'm not, I'm learning to fight
On two broken legs, my heart will take flight
Hope found me once more, and you're desperate to see
The banished drown lonely, but you'll never find me.
Never felt so…
But it's good.
Because I'll be able to see progression in myself.
To relive last summer and last fall.
I cry thinking about it sometimes.
However, I'm okay where I am now.
"Are things starting to look up?"
"Yeah… I think they are."
"It doesn't hurt to wake up anymore. Every day isn't a struggle anymore."
"It's not great, but… it's better.
I love my best friend.
Almost as much as my college degree. Ha ha. :)
Can you imagine? I'd be singin' tunes all day, every day.
That's me.
I wonder why.
To chill with after work tonight.
But I'll probably end up on XBL.
Or maybe I'll go lay outside.
I dunno.
Physicality is obviously an important factor, as I'd assume it is for everyone. However, I wouldn't base a date or relationship based on that alone. It depends on who the person is and whether or not there's chemistry, compatibility, etc.
And my challenge comes to an end.
One confession.
I want to make something of myself.
For us.
So that we will be fine.
It feels like junior high all over again. I am so good at blending in, that no one even sees me. I guess I'm just more awkward in social settings than I have been. It doesn't particularly bother me though. I mean, I wouldn't mind having friends here, but I almost prefer to remain unnattached. It's easier keeping to myself anyway. I'd rather sit here and blog in between classes than actually go do something. I kind of like the quiet, honestly. I've been somewhat of a hermit lately, with all the medical stuff and what not, and the thinking time has me falling back into the days when I was shy. By the looks of things, it's going to be a long winter. But who's to say that's a bad thing?
I'm a nobody now.
But I'll be a somebody later.
Last night we went on a walk.
Last night we talked about everything.
It was just a dream, but
I wish I could remember what you said;
What needed to be done.
Two smileys that describe your life right now.
:X <—- That one cause my mouth is all sewn up and I can't really open it. Ha ha. Once your gums have been sliced and stitched enough times, you tend to not smile so much. Ha ha.
:P <—- Cause I'm silly.
Three turn on's.
1. Being musically inclined.
2. If you're Wesley from the Princess Bride. Ha ha.
3. Getting along with people I introduce you to. And well.

No one fills me with anything, hate or otherwise. That would be my own doing if I chose to fill my tank at the hatred pump.
Those that have a capacity for hatred against people who don't deserve it.
those happy persons who never experience failure and disappointment in life.people who are pretending to be kind and friendly
I would say that that bullies, brutal dictators, serial killers, and pedophiles fill me with sadness not hate.
those who have the power to improve the life o others and just abstain for no reason, at the same time they pretend phillanthropy and good character! I dont axtually hate them as much as i despise them!
People in authority who're cruel and corrupt.
None. People are. Who am I to judge?
Youngsters with their d@mn Beiber music
Only you have that ability too let them in
I hate no one.
Happy people.

Rusted Wings is the story of a boy's guardian who didn't have the sense to get out of the rain.
You never know what wild creatures may crawl from the swamp when a little magic dust is thrown into the mix in Monty and the Bat Shaman.
Nivinivinack is set on an island where a queen of the night, a bringer of the day, a magician, a storm, and three bumbling troublemakers brew up some fun.
And the performance wraps with the story of a little girl who sets out to make a new friend on a rainy day and gets more than she asked for in Messy Melissa.

BEFORE PLAYING THE GAME: Please update your Flash Player to the latest version.
Most problems (e.g. Unable to shoot / continue game) were coming from outdated flash player versions. If problem persists, please kindly let us know from our facebook. Thanks!
Download Wallpaper here: http://www.newgrounds.com /art/view/origaming/last-
Not only you'd need to be swift and precise, you also need to be tactical in summoning the power of the Gods and improving your character.
The future of Kingdom Origaming lies in your hands!
- Easy control: Mouse only + numerical keys to summon vengeful spirits
- Addicting gameplay: You'd unknowingly pass more than half an hour playing through the game

- Exciting BGM to boost your mood
- Challenging Bosses (on level 15 & 25)

(Awesome) Game trailer here: http://bit.ly/lastguardia ntrailer
NOTE: Please don't give us low rating because challenge levels are locked. It was part of our deal with the game's publisher.
DEVELOPER says: Thank you for all your review and comments! We will take all of your awesome feedback into serious consideration and make the sequel much better!
Game Tips:
- Under normal condition, there's a slight delay (like 100ms) before you can shoot another arrow
- If the game lags, try lowering Game Quality
- The Fake Achievement is very helpful to gain an extra Star and can be easily dismissed. Just click when it shows up.
Since many people felt the Last Boss is really tough, here are some tips to win the game:
- You need to be precise and swift. Pour him a rain of arrows and aim at his head
- You'll really need to upgrade The Lightning Summon to the MAX and use it right away to fasten your victory
- Golem is very useful to block ground enemies. Slow spell is also very useful but beware of performance drop.
- The Boss' Mana Burn skill will outwin our Mana regeneration rate. That's why you should use your Lightning Summon as soon as you can.
- Find all hidden stars will really help.

Rated 4 / 5 stars September 19, 2012
This was really good but I would have enjoyed it much more if there were lines showing the trajectory of the arrows (kind of like a laser sight), you may think this would make the game too easy but it can be easily balanced by increasing enemies health and damage.
that's pretty much the only issue for me, nice game!
Rated 5 / 5 stars June 19, 2012
DOT DOT DOT was funny good radio man.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars June 4, 2012
could be better, it needs an aiming system or something that shows me where i fire. also, if the flying creatures got behind me i can not shoot at them. nice try but nothing new.

No medals? Put some NG Medals pls! And great game by the way

East Wittering Beach Guide & Information > Add to My Trip
East Wittering Beach is located Chichester, West Sussex, UK
East Wittering beach is a shingle shoreline at high tide but sandy at low tide! The best of both worlds really.
It is a quiet spot of coast but the sailors love it as the ocean here varies from flat to down the line wave riding if the wind is right. The beach is wide here so it feels emptier than it is.
Shelving gently, this south coast beach has extensive shallows for the kids to paddle in at low tide and the village of East Wittering is within walking distance with shops and other facilities. There is a good selection of accommodation here with campsites and bed and breakfasts to choose from.
Facilities include:
- Toilets
- Parking
- Surfing
- Kites
- Walk along the beach to nearby West Wittering
- Camp site
- No dog restrictions

While Amberleigh House romps home to victory in the Martell Grand National at Aintree, David Moyes and his squad are across the country at Newcastle United.
However, it wasn't a good day at the races, with the Blues going down 2-4 on Tyneside. A well-taken strike from Thomas Gravesen cancelled out Craig Bellamy's opener, but despite Joseph Yobo grabbing his first goal for the club, the Magpies manage to score three more.
Moyes admits: "This has probably been my toughest season and it has tested me. I will assess myself and see if I should have done better. And I will look around the club to decide what I have to do to change things."
The Blues cap one of their best performances of the season with a 3-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in from of the Sky TV cameras on Good Friday and then churn out a hard-earned 1-1 draw at struggling Leeds United.
Everton announce a groundbreaking deal with JJB in which the Wigan-based firm will be responsible for manufacturing and distributing the playing kit for the next five years and continue their recent good run with a stalemate at Stamford Bridge.
However, the month ends on a low when Jon Stead's late goal wraps up the points for Blackburn Rovers at Goodison Park, as Moyes' men slip to 14th in the Premiership table.

"Tower Of The Half Moon""Tower Of The Half Moon" is one of the striking towers nestled in close to the famous Cerro Torre, which lies directly east. Its name stems from the summit block feature resembling a half moon, which is formed by the deep chimney system upon it. This formation didn't see a first ascent until 1988 ( FAist: Kathy Cosley and Mark Houston) and was surprisingly ignored by those bound for routes on Cerro Torre. Then, in January of 1994, Ermanno Salvaterra took on a solo effort to create a more direct line upon the east face. After an inital false start, Ermanna was able to complete the route on the 16th of January, calling it 'Rubio Y Azul' or 'Blonde and Blue' (for all you gringos!), checking in at 600m in length, 6c or .11a. This line heads for the "half moon" feature in which the crux lies, prior to the summit pitch. Views from the summit are stunning, to say the least, with Cerro Torre lying directly above to the west, Fitz Roy to the east and Cerro Mocho to the south. The quality of 'Rubio Y Azul' and the rock of this area are superb and the cleanest granite offered in the world. Torre De La Media Luna offers a short approach from the 'Ni-Po-Ni-No' basecamp, just south of Cerro Mocho at its base and makes for an excellent "soft" Grade IV climb.
"Over The River And Past The Glacier.....From the town of El Chalten, take a trail that departs near the southwest portion of town (the trail starts near the Nothofagus Bed & Breakfast, a blue house with white trim). The trail ascends up and over a notch and traverses high above a river valley, eventually arriving at The Ex-Bridwell Camp, near Lago Cerro Torre. This camp is an excellent place to launch from as one heads north, crossing over the outlet of the lake and above its western shoreline (via a Tyrolean Traverse!)
Continue past the lake, ascending into a steep hillside beech forest. You will pass several opportunities for water along this trail. As a word of caution, this trail is fairly steep and those carrying full loads for climbing objectives best be prepared for some 3rd class trail scrambling. Eventually, the trail will descend to the Cerro Torre Glacier. Once on the glacier, trek the glacier's western border until a climbers' trail appears in the morraine. Traverse along the morrain, heading north, and eventually find an area of weakness to regain the glacier. In warmer temps, use caution while trekking the glacier, as there are larger amounts of water flumes and mini crevases along the way. Head north through the middle of the glacier and use Cerro Torre as a landmark of guidance. The glacier will eventually recede to lateral morraines (which need to be scrambled over). Keep a sharp eye out for a camping area, made within a flat area of the morrain, just at the foot of Cerro Mocho. This basecamp is called 'Ni-Po-Ni-No'. From this basecamp, the approach to Torre De La Media Luna is an hour and a half.
Permits, Maps And Resources
Lastly, there is only one true climber store in town, called 'La Brecha'. Although small, they do have technical jackets, climbing shoes, a few pieces of technical gear. If you have questions regarding local climbing and excellent guiding services, one can email them at the following address: email@example.com. Or by phone: 02962-493151. In general, the people of El Chalten are very friendly and will try to answer any questions regarding resources and needs around the town. Best to brush up on your Castillian ......not everyone speaks English. ;)
Overnight Backcountry Stays
Many basecamps, some have which been established since the 60's, are identifyied on maps of the national park. Be sure to use these established basecamps and the camping spots within them. In the case of adventuring out to the Cerro Torre area, the Ex-Bridwell and 'Ni-Po-Ni-No' camps are excellents spots. There are, however, limited spots at 'Ni-Po-Ni-No' basecamp (perhaps 10-12 flat spots within the morraine) and are "first come, first serve", so plan accordingly.
Water sources come from glacial melt in and around basecamp. A serious word of caution: although most climbers rarely filter water out in the Patagonia wilderness, since glacial melt is so abundant, the water in and around 'Ni-Po-Ni-No' should be filtered. Not only for the amount of glacier silt found in pools nearby but also for the fact that the water source is near an active campsite. Please make natures call FAR away from the basecamp.
The Approach
Web ResourcesIf considering a guiding service to help minimize logistics, here are list of guiding websites within El Chalten (most can be converted to English versions):
El Chalten Mountain Guide - Manuel Quiroga - 'highly recommended
Fitz Roy Expediciones of El Chalten
An ideal "spring board" website to check out places to stay (ie bed and breakfasts, inns, hostels), resturants, trekking, markets, travel arrangements (ie bus service, taxis) for El Chalten:

American businessman Chip Starnes finally left his factory in China on Thursday after he and a union negotiator worked out severance payments for Chinese employees.
Starnes had been stuck inside his medical supply parts factory since last Friday. That's when workers, fearing they were all going to be laid off and that the company wasn't going to compensate them fairly, blocked all of the exits out of the plant. Starnes couldn't get out.
He told Nightly Business Report that the first few days of confinement were challenging, but the pressure was mostly psychological. "First couple of days were very, very tough. Nothing physical, more mental type stuff going on. Standing around you, anywhere you walk, 14, 16, 18 people following you."
Starnes, who is a co-owner of Florida-based Specialty Medical Supplies, had laid off part of the factory's workforce and transferred their jobs to India, where he can pay workers lower wages, according to Bloomberg News. Some staffers had gotten severance pay, and the remaining workers started demanding severance, too.
Starnes spent six days in his facility before working out a compensation agreement with the workers even though they hadn't been laid off, reports The Associated Press. Details of the payments weren't discussed.
The AP notes that "it is not rare in China for managers to be held by workers demanding back pay or other benefits, often from their Chinese owners. Police are reluctant to intervene, as they consider it a business dispute."
"I just thought I'd have maybe a little more support on the outside from the local government or something, saying this isn't the right way, how to get something done," Starnes told Nightly Business Report.
Some Chinese workers believe direct action is the best way to solve labor matters rather than going through government channels, James Zimmerman, the former chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce China told the Wall Street Journal.
"The perception of workers and petitioners in general is that they do not have effective legal remedies to protect their interests, and find that taking action into their own hands gets near-immediate results," Zimmerman said.
As for Starnes, he plans to rest and "let the dust settle, and we're going to be rehiring a lot of the previous workers on new contracts as of Friday," he told the AP.

Marie Tooker had them Snookered
By NotABreed
What people used to say about Marie Tooker in 2007:
"Ms. Marie Tooker is the founder of Abbess Farms and the Abbess Foundation. She is a philanthropist in the truest sense of the word. She is dedicated to providing a stable environment for children and for the homeless. Her vision is to create a permanent legacy for future generations of young people in need by preparing them to be active, responsible and productive members of society. Marie Tooker is an active parent and very much dedicated to the preservation of the family. (1)
Marie Tooker, or Marie Guerrera, or Marie Guerrera-Tooker (she goes by all of these) of Calverton, NY came across as a woman who cared about veterans, children and horses. Of course, that was all on the surface.
She wanted the grant money available for the veterans. She received grant money to set up a veterans home, even going so far as to hire an architect to draw up plans for three buildings in the shape of "USA" so they could be seen by planes – ugh, seriously? No buildings have been built to date of course. (2)
"Help-Vets.org plans to try to stimulate business and industry to give them needed grants to create their vision." (3)
She would rather spend time – and money – in court arguing about renting buildings FOR children, than actually dealing with kids (4). Oh, yeah, and at galas (5)! And, lets not forget running for the school board (6) (7)!
She certainly didn't properly contain her horses, as they've gotten out twice – once stopping traffic on the Long Island Expressway for an hour (8).
And now she just doesn't bother feeding OR watering them (Story: http://www.riverheadlocal.com/local-news/2069-suffolk-spca-rescues-two-dozen-horses-from-calverton-farm).
"Police were tipped off to the neglected condition of the animals by a court-appointed receiver in a foreclosure action brought against the owner of the farm, according to Suffolk SPCA law enforcement chief Roy Gross."
"I don't ever remember seeing a horse in such poor condition; this is not your standard backyard cruelty case." Chief Gross told the News-Review.
"The ones that were out in the field, obviously had grass to eat," he said. "And because of the wet spring water that had puddled up, that must have been the water they were drinking. All the animals were neglected, though some fared better than others. We still need to do a complete evaluation."
The ones that fared the worst, were the ones padlocked in the barn with no food or water.
This woman is extremely litigious. She has spent several years and God knows how much money fighting bankruptcy in court (2007-(9), all the way up to 2011-(10) ) Yet she has been hosting a multitude of events at her farm, including rock concerts… and of course making money off of that.
And after all the fighting, she finally actually declares bankruptcy (11)! This after reportedly receiving quite a hefty sum from the county (rumoured to be in the millions), after much bickering (pdf 12) for a measly 45 acres of her land (out of 130 acres)
"Ms. Tooker sold the development rights to 90 of the 130 acres on her farm in 2005 and has held events there in the past." (13)
I suck at math. I found elsewhere she "donated" 135 acres, but sold off another 45… and seems to have sold another 90 acres? They're trying to auction off five acres (which includes the house and out buildings). How many acres did she have to start with?
If you're looking to buy a peninsula, go to 3581 Middle Country Road, Calverton, NY 11933
Always Looking for Money
She showed up with a lawyer just to comment on a proposed Indian casino on the property next to hers. Of course, they were interested in her property as well. Either way, whether she sold or just had increased business opportunity with the casino next door, she would have made money. (14)
What I especially love about the comments on the news stories is that they run from calling Marie a money-grubbing bitch-on-wheels to comparing these latest news stories (about how she's abusing horses) to a "witch hunt" and to the Nazis – although, those in defense are few and far between. I tend to look at the photos, and read the actual news stories that talk about how some of the horses were padlocked in a barn with no food on site, and no WATER on site. Those FACTS tend to make me believe this bitch is torturing her horses.

We have two of these poor imaciated, worm burdened, tick infested horses at our farm now. From the pic above, it certainly doesn't look like Marie has missed any meals. After having to clean up her mess, I truly despise this dispicable waste of oxygen.

This woman has scamed me and my family out of thousands of dollars. She took 4 thousand the first time but her psychoticness is what made her able to pull off these scams. My children have suffered . Read my add on craigslist rants and raves. She is a filthy pig . Her 3 children need help, they always seemed so scared of her. If you want her home number just use good ole google. I want to be compensated for my loss and how she abuses veterans like Frank. R. Lets make her do jail time.
May 8, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Oh this woman is disgusting. Let me tell you something. I have a 9 month old son and this nasty WHORE scammed my family into this foreclosed house she said she owned. Then she illegally evicted us in 3 days. Three fucking days. She probably blew the sheriff to do so. I was pregnant when she promised me that my son would grow up in a wonderful home. Nope she took our money while the house was being foreclosed. And broke into the basement and tried to rip out the all the wires in the home so we had nothing. She is a googely eyed cunt who needs god. Oh and her youngest son..my little brother is 2 years old and who is gonna take him? My poor baby brother. Born to such a vile sick and demented nut job. Hope she likes prison. Scum of the earth
May 8, 2011 at 4:12 pm
OH and forgot to mention. These oh so noble veterans are DRUG ADDICTS. Who walk around with crow bars as her posse and try to intimidate people. This cocked eye cow needs to stop being such a loser.
May 8, 2011 at 4:14 pm
Regardless of the neglect of the poor animals, how is Marie has been able to scam monies and do all the rotten things some of you have mentioned here and is not in jail?
I met this witch at a horseshow that was being held on her property. She forced all everyone to donate $20.00 before you could enter the grounds and it didn't matter if you were a competitor or someone just coming to watch. I felt it rude that she would force this on people. Now, I question how much, if any of that money went to the charity she was collecting for.
I do not understand why she has not been put in jail a long time ago with all the criminal stories now surfacing. She seems to have alot of enemies, I wonder if she sleeps with one eye open at nite, or is she too arrogant to think she can abuse animals, scam and hurt people and she will remain invincible.
May 8, 2011 at 6:03 pm
What is it with starving horses? The most intelligent of animals and the kindest around, and this woman and the one in Illinois only leave them to starve! I just don't get it!
May 15, 2011 at 6:17 pm
Marie – what a total con artist! She obtained loans via fraud, graft and coersion in order to buy the farm in the beginning. She displaced a young family in the process, threw their belongings in a dumpster, tried to steal their vehicles, and attempted to remove 75 horses from the fields. Well, she is finally getting her due & revenge is sweet!
Marie will go down in infamy as a cold-hearted, calculating opportunist. PS Her kids should be taken from her too. She's not fit to be a mother.
May 17, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Why are people squatting in the dayton avenue house???? Is this murderer in jail yet and where are the children??? Where is Thomas Chisholm???? I know where she told me personally she was going to hide ..Don't know if it's true or not but I want the reward money.

Lisa Marie Rodgers, why not give me a call.
EDIT BY THINKGOAT Never post your phone number on a website. It's highly irresponsible and dangerous – especially a crime site.
I've put the phone number on file – if this person wishes to phone you, they may email me at our site's email address (email@example.com) and request it.
June 6, 2011 at 11:41 am
If anyone wants to contact me please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com Does anyone know if she was charged with anything yet???? A court date maybe????
June 16, 2011 at 4:58 pm
Ok let's see if justice will really be served on May 27th. I hope the judge gives her a max term. She should sit in jail and think long and hard to as to her next move. This way the whole time she's there everyone could gather enough information and then charge her with the biggie!!!! See ya in the hamptons on that date!
July 15, 2011 at 7:22 pm
reward money for what ?? you wouldnt believe the problems she is trying to cause my family after all we did was help her…id like more input from all of you about her..please !!!
September 28, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Marie is a nut job !!! She deserves everything coming to her STILL !!!!!!! Anyone who has had any ridiculous interactions/lawsuits etc with her feel free to email me. Was in court with her for a while after she tried stealing my horses an illegally trying to evict us. After all we did to help her ! AND all the $ we brought her by boarders etc.
Speaking of she still owns two minis whom she is not supposed to have. Not sure where she moved them to hide them when i reported her.
August 18, 2012 at 8:25 pm
OH and PS two of the minis she got back were ones seized from her… That were actually given to me and she removed them without my permission / BUT with no paperwork can't proove it.

MD: Asami came a little later in the development process. Once we had the idea for a nonbender revolution, we knew we'd need a character who wasn't a bender. At first, we had planned for Asami to be an Equalist spy who was using Mako to get close to Korra. But we ended up liking her so much that we thought it was better to keep her on the good guys' side. The development process was so important for Korra, because it allowed us to play with various story and visual concepts before the full production started.
BK: AS a self-deprecating artist, I am particularly critical of my lack of abilities when it comes to drawing women. But I wanted to challenge myself and handle Asami's design alone. I wanted her to have sole old Hollywood glamour, while also having some kiler racing outfits in her wardrobe. Asami concepts by Bryan Konietzko. Expressions and cleanup by Il-Kwang Kim and Bryan Konietzko. Color by Bryan Konietzko and Sylvia Filcak-Blackwolf.

The Eagles are off this weekend as they wait to see if they'll retain sole possession of first in the NFC East, and the Redskins don't play until Monday night.
With that in mind, I figured I'd look at a side aspect of this crucial Cowboys-Giants matchup in East Rutherford, N.J.
It's been lost in the shuffle of this week's storylines, but Jerry Jones' endorsement of Jason Garrett's future with the Cowboys draws to mind some interesting parallels for Dallas' third-year coach.
It's been just more than three years – Nov. 14, 2010 was the exact date – since Garrett coached his first game as the Cowboys coach. Six days prior, Wade Phillips had been fired following a 45-7 shellacking at the hands of Green Bay.
The loss sent the Cowboys into a 1-7 hole, and it offered Garrett an audition as interim head coach. A week later, he led the team to a 33-20 win against the Giants at MetLife Stadium.
I asked Garrett if he thought about that game at his Thursday morning press conference. It's pretty interesting to think almost three years to the day after he won his first game, he goes into the same situation needing a win to maintain the Cowboys' spot in the playoff race.
For his part, Garrett said he's too focused on this week's game to think about the one he won three years ago. That's to be expected.
But it is interesting that we're hearing questions and comments about Garrett's own job security, as he prepares to go to the same place where he got his first taste of the top job.
Jones said on Thursday morning that the Cowboys' ability to reach the playoffs this season will not determine Garrett's job status. He went on to say that Garrett will be the team's head coach in 2014.
But with six weeks left in the season, I'd be stunned if we've heard the last of that line of questioning – and it could begin again as early as Sunday evening if New York gets the best of Dallas at MetLife Stadium.

My last post gave me an idea… Note to self; While at Spotlight sourcing pretty beads and thread, check out the fabric dyes to see if they have anything in neon.
They did! They had Fluorescent Yellow! So, next stop.. Find things that are white that I can dye. Reading the instructions told me I could dye up on 1.3 kg's of fabric in the top loader washing machine method. That's a lot of clothes.
I found singlets, tank tops, t-shirts, even a cardigan. I think I even got a long-sleeved top too. Anyway.. My mother and I chucked it all in the washing machine.
I was a bit apprehensive. I mean.. Dying clothes in the washing machine. It's a thing. This is all new to me. Mum seemed to be all "been there done that" from the '80s when she was all DIY-esquing everything.
Anyway, you get the washing machine filled to roughly one quarter of the tub. You add the soluble packet of dye. Agitate, i.e. turn the cycle on, until the package dissolves and goes everywhere. Stop cycle. Add fabric. Add a cup of salt (apparently this pulls the dye out of the water and into the clothes. I googled that just then because I had no idea why I had to do that).
Then you agitate i.e. turn the cycle back on. Every time the washing machine tries to go onto the next step in the cycle, pull it pack to agitating. The longer you do this, the stronger the colour. So just play it by ear and watch your garments closely. Even pull them out to check the colour. We kept the lid off the whole time FYI.
Anyway.. Once done you need to drain the washing machine and simply wash the clothes with a bit of mild detergent on a normal cycle. Hang out to dry and viola! Hey presto everything is fluorescent yellow.
I actually bought another colour, it's called "Chartreuse" which looks quite nice.. Still nice & bright without being so fluorescent. I just need to find a tonne of white clothes to dye.. Again!

Blog Maintenance.
I have decided that this blog will become a Ben Barnes/Benedict Cumberbatch blog. From the feedback i got, i'm pretty much sold on the idea. If you don't like it, there's a Unfollow button. I'm open to URL suggestions, I have a few ideas myself.. (but they're shiit..) I wont delete any of the past posts, so, you can still reblog those.
Maintenance Includes:
- A change of theme.
- A change of Icon. (It could chop and change, idk)
- The description of the blog changed.
- URL changed (Suggestions?)
- Tag pages (? Is that what you call them? Idk)
- Info Pages.
and maybe a hiatus….
A couple of days at the least. Just until i get everything up and running again.
I think i'm going to be looking for a friend to co-moderate this blog (I say friend, cause i consider you all my friends♥) Please leave a message on here or my personal (here.) I really really really hope you guys help me. I can't get on much and it would make life so much easier. Thanks!
GUISE, GUISE, What if i turn this into a Binny AND Benedict blog?
Does it solve problems? I think so :D What do you think?
hellyesbenbarnes replied to your post: …..
Why is it?
I don't really find him attractive anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love him and he's talented, and i will continue to follow his work, but, you know, you kind of move on.. I'm kinda into Benedict Cumberbatch now. Apparently i like the "weird ones." lol. So yeah, that's why. I guess he fits into the 'cute' section with Zac and, uh, some other people.

Curbing global warming or adapting to it?
It pains me to hear that some people have given up on their efforts to curb global warming. They are now up to save humans once again by adapting to the changes brought about by our own doing.
Should we curb to save mother earth and moderate our way of living? Or adapt and focus more on the human race than mother earth?

Jun 21 2013: I do think that humanity as a whole is vastly superior than the one little rock we live on. If worst comes, we can hopefully just move (given that we are developed far enough in space exploration). Although if we actually do get a second chance, hopefully we won't be so stupid as to make the same mistakes and kill yet another beautiful home.

A city audit last year of downtown elevators that had been inspected by private companies revealed that a third were not up to code.
The reviews were supposed to help ensure the quality of the city's new private inspection program, launched after the Tribune reported that a majority of Chicago elevators were not receiving annual inspections, as required by law.
"I wouldn't feel that audits done nine months to a year afterward are really effective," said Dotty Stanlaske, executive director of the National Association of Elevator Safety Authorities International, which certifies elevator inspectors worldwide. "Audits should be done ideally as close to the time of the inspection as possible because then you would be seeing what the inspector saw."
The city began requiring hundreds of downtown buildings to hire private inspectors in 2009 after a Tribune investigation found that 70 percent of elevators in Chicago had not received required annual inspections.
To help ensure the quality and accuracy of those reviews, city officials said they would conduct yearly audits of the work. If any inspector failed the audit, the Department of Buildings commissioner could restrict or prohibit the inspector from the program, according to city rules.
The Tribune found, however, that in 2011 the department did not complete those audits until an average of 258 days after the initial inspections. Even when a device failed the audit, the city declined to take punitive action against the inspectors, and in some cases didn't even notify them, which rules say they should do.
Buildings Department officials said the city will not perform audits in 2012 under the Annual Inspection Certification program, saying they instead have been focused on improving the agency's website and getting buildings that have not yet enrolled in the program to comply.
The city does not plan to conduct its next audit until next year, according to Buildings Department officials.
That's worrisome to some experts.
Scott Hayes, a longtime elevator consultant and inspector in New York City, said audits not only serve to give inspectors guidance but also to catch those who might be performing superficial examinations, or "drive-bys."
"(But) they have to have some authority to penalize those who are doing it wrong," Hayes said. "If it's a slap on the wrist, it's like there is no oversight."
Buildings Department officials said they did not think action needed to be taken against inspectors who failed the 2011 audit because a vast majority of the devices in question had relatively minor violations that were not dangerous. But officials acknowledged that the length of time between inspection and audit also was a factor.
"Some of the (Department of Buildings) audits occurred months after the initial (Annual Inspection Certification reviews) and therefore did not offer the same 'snapshot' viewed by the AIC inspector," said Susan Massel, spokeswoman for the Department of Buildings. "Going forward, DOB intends to audit devices closer to their inspection date."
The Annual Inspection Certification program requires building owners in the central business district to hire private inspectors to complete annual reviews that historically were performed by the city. The city recently opened the program, on a voluntary basis, to buildings outside the district, a swath of downtown bordered by the lake, Roosevelt Road, Halsted Street and Chicago Avenue to the west of LaSalle Street and Division Street east of LaSalle.
During the annual inspection, inspectors are supposed to ensure that devices are up to the city's code, which is based on national standards. Inspectors check, for instance, whether devices are functional and meet basic safety requirements, such as having working lights, car and counterweight safeties, braking systems and power opening doors.
In 2011, the city randomly chose from thousands of devices that private inspectors passed in 2010, putting the inspections in order by date and then hand selecting every 20th address so that 5 percent of the buildings were covered, according to Buildings Department officials.
In total, the city reviewed about 160 devices that had been inspected. Most passed again. But about 50 failed for various reasons, including emergency phones in need of repair and cables in need of replacing, according to city records.
Buildings Department officials said they took immediate action on failed devices that were deemed dangerous. As part of the 2013 audit, the city also plans to return to the devices that failed the 2011 audit to make sure violations have been addressed, they said.

Let's see...my name is Angie. I'm a 33 year old mother of the three most amazing, beautiful kids in the world. I am a HUGE horror fan, movies of course, but especially books...I love to read and have enjoyed the horror genre since I was a teen reading Christopher Pike & R.L. Stein (and I'm old so we're talkin' before Goosebumps and all that!) As a matter of fact, when I was four, my Mom took me with her to see one of the Night of the Living Dead movies and I loved it...so I guess I have been a horror fan literally all my life. :) I love to write, mostly poetry, sometimes teen- or tween- style short stories (my kids are 13, 8 and 7) although I certainly don't claim to be good at it! Interestingly, most of what I write, and hence most of what I'll upload (assuming I'll ever have the nerve to post rather than just read, which I'm MUCH better at) is poetry, if it turns out that anyone likes any of it then I may try some short stories. Weirdly, although I'm a pretty happy person and even have some of the dreaded PTA-Soccor-Mom tendencies, my poetry tends to range from sad, to dark, to downright suicide-note-ish...you'll notice I never claimed to be normal! Any-who...I love to meet new people, I love to talk, and in case you're wondering, I AM aware that this is now, oddly, reading like a bad dating profile though I think I'll leave out anything to do with candle-lit dinners or walks on the beach :) Back to the point, whether I've uploaded or not, whether you've decided that the fact that I can drag out something as simple as profile info makes you crazy, or whether you're just bored enough to talk to a long-winded stranger...message me anytime, I'm on here every single day, barring any natural disasters or family emergencies :) <3 ~ PinkFairie79 aka Angie ~ <3
