INTERVIEW: Rusko at TomorrowWorld
Listen to Rusko on iHeartRadio
He is a master of bass, an amateur chef with a mean fried chicken recipe, and some pretty handy life tips. As Rusko gets ready to hit the road for two months, he has also prepared a ton of new music to unleash on his fans.
We caught up with Rusko before his set at TomorrowWorld where he talked about his upcoming tour with Roni Size, frozen towels, and fried chicken. Check it out below:
Are you excted to be performing on the All Your Bass Are Belong to Us stage at TomorrowWorld?
Yeah, I'm excited. I'm stoked. I'm stoked. In one week I go out on tour for two months, the longest tour I've ever done. So for the last four weeks now, I haven't played at any shows. I have my deck set up in my studio, and all I've been doing is working on this new set. Working on an amazing new set, like doing ten minutes a day. New mixes, new songs. Like, trying the mix out, go on the computer, changing the track. [It's] all I've been doing for the last month. So I get to try out all my new material. This is like my tour starting today, that I've been working on for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. If you're hoping to sing along to classic tracks, ain't going to happen. Brand new material. There's nothing more exciting to me, than hearing a tune I made in my little bedroom at home, on a big-ass stage, with lots of people dancing and everything. That's the best feeling, and to see the transition. For me, just in my boxers, in the middle of the night, making some stupid little tune. And then playing it. Like that transition trips me out. Still does. I love that. So to get to do that so many times, with a brand new set like this. It's so exciting. It's like the first show of a tour for me right now, at least how I'm counting it.
What are you are looking forward to the most about your "Lift Me Up Tour?"
I think just playing with Roni Size. He's like the original. Roni Size and Goldie are like the two legends of drum and bass. The real originators. So I just finished the track with Roni Size, that we're gonna release it while we're on tour together. So to play a tour with him ... it's like a soul singer getting to make a track with Marvin Gaye. It's like a hero, a legend, and an amazing guy, so I'm just looking forward to just feeding off that. I'm gonna take my laptop. I'm gonna make tons of tunes. Like, he's just a great musical guy. He plays lots of instruments and stuff like that. So yeah, just being on tour with a legend, in my own eyes. It's gonna be awesome. Like, I can't believe he's even coming, it's a tripout. I have 'til Friday to finish it [the song]. I wish we had a name, 'cause I could blast it at all these interviews, but I'm like, "We have the song but it doesn't have a name." But the plan is, I have 'til Friday to finish it, and then we leave on Friday on the bus. That's when the tour bus picks us up, and we don't come back 'til December. Right now it's called 'Rusko/Roni 3, Version 2'. (Laughs) That's not very exciting though.
Being that you're going to be on tour for two months, what is in your rider?
I just changed it. I have the normal booze and stuff like that. Things that are essential are coconut water. Pure coconut water. It's like the best thing for hydration, and for hangovers. Pound a couple of those the morning after a hangover. Amazing. That's really handy. Frozen towels. They put them in the freezer all day, and they're like ice cold. Don't wet them. Just put them in the freezer. So when I'm sweating, under the lights and the red-hot stage, my towel is actually freezing. I don't know anybody that does that. Everybody ... Life tip! Yeah, and if you had a really spicy meal, TP in the freezer. You know what I'm talking about. TP in the freezer. Soothing.
How does playing multiple instruments influence your producing?
Oh, all the time. I actually like, I sit at the computer making electronic music with electronic instruments and computer programs, but I have my guitar right next to me. When I'm working and I hear a melody in my head, I will play it out on the guitar first. It's really weird. I mean I think in guitar. That was like the first thing I learned, guitar and the bass, so I think in guitar, which is really weird. Always when I make a beat, I always have that, 'cause it's really nice working out little chords and stuff like that. If you have a little nice melody, you can work out an easier compliment. I never really recorded it too much. I think one track, in my whole career, I've ever put guitar on. I should do it more often really. It's sat there, right next to me, the whole time. So yeah, it's cool, but I also play in a band. I have a band back in LA.
What's it called?
We saw the video of you making fried chicken. Where did you learn that?
Oh God. Yeah, that's my secret recipe. Well not anymore it's not. Everybody knows it now. [I learned] through trial and error. I mean, I love celery seeds. I love celery, so I would cook with celery seeds a lot, and I just tried it once. I mean, fried chicken is great with celery, you know? Buffalo wings you get with celery. Like it works. Why not put the celery in the batter? That's what I thought. That was my logic. Put the celery in the batter. Then I used the same thing with cauliflower. It's really good. Life half-boil the cauliflower, and then do the same batter. It's really good, like for a vegetarian. The first thing I got when I got my house in LA was a chef kitchen. Like, professional double oven and like a big hot-plate on the top. Like, that was the most essential thing for my house.
What do you always like to have in your kitchen?
Restaurant-grade cooker, all the time. I cook on tour too.
If the Food Network came to you and offered you your own cooking show, what would you name it?
I guess it would be 'Rusko's Munchies'. I mean, people know that I'm a little bit of a stoner, so that would probably be me getting high, and making munchie foods, pretty much. Like fried chicken. Like totally awesome, greasy, salty, munchie food. So maybe 'Rusko's Munchies', but I'd love to film it when I'm on tour. Like, go to a city, check out the food of the city, and then film a little bit of the show that night. That would make a good show. Like, footage from the cool venue, and then I would go and check out the cool restaurant, and chat with the chef, whatever. I could film at this tour. I should just get a GoPro and film it. I should sell it to Food Network. That would be rad.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - While the city has seen the rise of commercial development over former farmland in recent decades, one group wants to keep the spirit of harvest alive with a large community garden on the east side of the city.
About 14 acres of land on a Southern California Edison easement near Foothill Boulevard and the 15 Freeway have started to clear for a 350-plot community garden, where residents will be able to grow their own crops.
The "Root 66 Community Garden" is adjacent to a shopping complex just west of Day Creek Boulevard, on the south side of Foothill Boulevard, and south of the Victoria Gardens mall.
The land was deeded to the Upland-based Restorative Justice Center of the Inland Empire, a nonprofit that will oversee the community garden's revenue and upkeep.
Dee Matreyek-Kurth, director and founder of the nonprofit and wife of former Rancho Cucamonga Mayor Don Kurth, said the project's goal is to foster a lifestyle for residents that includes exercise through caring for their plot, healthy eating, cost savings and helping the needy.
"San Bernardino County has the worst access to healthy food options anywhere in the states," Matreyek-Kurth said.
"Fresh produce is very expensive to buy. We just don't have a lot of access to homegrown fresh fruits and vegetables any more. I think there's a growing trend for locally grown produce ... Right now, we get all of our produce from the Central Valley or from South America, but, if we can have a 15-acre lot set aside, we can grow for a lot of people."
The community garden will contain 350 individual plots - either 10 feet by 10 feet or 10 feet by 20 feet, Matreyek-Kurth said. There will also be 5 feet by 10 feet raised beds for disabled people.
Anyone can annually lease or rent land at a $1 per square foot or $100 a year for a gardening plot that is 10 feet by 10 feet.
Matreyek-Kurth said she hopes organizations and churches can help fund plots for the needy as well.
Local high school students and Rancho Cucamonga Rotary Club members were among the volunteers who spent a recent Saturday clearing rocks and weeds from the site, which runs along a high-voltage power line easement.
The volunteers planted high nutrient grasses on the land, which are to be cut down next spring, prior to planting crops.
Matreyek-Kurth said the group also hopes to install a pump to obtain free underground water.
"The well is not in the jurisdiction of the (water district) so the property has the water rights, which in California is like striking gold, so we've got to sink a pump down there and get the water up," she said.
Shirley Simmons, a marketing consultant with Loma Linda University, is helping promote the community garden as part of an initiative with the school to encourage healthier lifestyles for area residents.
"If we can all start now to prepare to take responsibility for our own health and well being this would be the place to come and learn," Simmons said.

Soprano Lisa Vroman to Perform with National Children's Chorus in CANDLELIGHT in LA, 11/29; New York, 12/8
In a bi-coastal celebration of the season, internationally acclaimed soprano Lisa Vroman is performing with 150 members of the National Children's Chorus (NCC) and a chamber orchestra in two evening concerts themed "Candlelight" – Thursday, November 29 in Los Angeles and Saturday, December 8 in New York.
The Los Angeles concert is at 7 p.m. at the Broad Theater in Santa Monica and the New York concert is at The Church of St. Paul the Apostle. Tickets are $125 for VIP reserved seating, $65 for premier, $45 for section A, $35 for section B.
NCC's artistic director Luke McEndarfer, along with associate artistic director Dr. Pamela Blackstone, leads the concerts featuring Antonio Vivaldi's Gloria followed by a combination of holiday music performed like no other this season – by a world-renowned opera singer with 150 children singing in harmony with her, accompanied by a chamber orchestra.
Selections include Carol of the Bells, Dodi Li and a Nigerian piece entitled Betelehemu. Additionally, Vroman will solo on jazzy arrangements of Silent Night and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, ending with a surprise encore announced from the stage.
The NCC is America's leading treble chorus, with a set of ensembles in Los Angeles and New York. In residence at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica, the NCC is one of a few youth arts organizations in the world to have its entire concert season presented by a professional concert hall. This is the fourth season at the Broad Stage and the second in New York. The 2012/2013 season is entitled "Traditions," presenting an eclectic array of musical styles, drawing on American cultural roots.
Students of the NCC in Los Angeles and New York are represented by more than 60 schools throughout both cities and meet weekly for rehearsal and musicianship study. Both chorus groups will travel to participate in each other's hometown concerts.
McEndarfer, who is credited to taking the group bi-coastal in 2010 said, "This project provides an unprecedented opportunity for the NCC's mission to be realized, through the collaborative artistry of our students in both Los Angeles and New York. We're truly ecstatic with the educational experience it will bring our talented young vocalists."
Vroman starred for several years on Broadway as Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera. As Christine, she garnered Theatre Critic's awards for the role in a record- breaking run in San Francisco, and did a return engagement at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. Vroman starred as Rosabella in The Most Happy Fella, making her New York City Opera debut with Paul Sorvino in the title role. She played Charlotte in A Little Night Music with Michigan Opera Theatre, starring Leslie Uggams and Ron Raines and when she made her Carnegie Hall debut with the New York Pops, she starred as Lili Vanessi in Kiss Me Kate with Glimmerglass Opera.

Given the massive role of special effects in today's film industry, the Visual Effects Society has plenty of material to consider in determining each year's stand-outs.
And earlier today, the nominees for the 11th Annual VES Awards were announced, spanning 24 categories of film, animation, television, video games, and commercial projects. The winners will be declared during an official ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 5th.
They teamed up on the big screen for last month's release "Prometheus", and now Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender are reunited for the cover of the August 2012 issue of W magazine.
With one animated film replacing another, "Brave" easily shot atop the box office over the movie-going weekend of June 22-24, 2012.
In what's their thirteenth straight first place release, the Pixar/Disney created action/adventure tale about Princess Merida churned out a $24.5 million opening day followed up with $23.6 million on Saturday which places debut weekend estimates at a respectable $66.5 million.
Continuing its reign atop the movie world, "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" grabbed up the lead at the box office and never looked back over the weekend on June 15-17, 2012.
Making for a big weekend of movie money-making, "Prometheus" stormed out to the early lead at the box office to begin the weekend on June 8-10, 2012.
The Ridley Scott directed film starring Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender conjured up a solid $21.4 million opening day while simmering down with a $16.4 million Saturday to make for second place worthy total first weekend of $49.5 million.
She's all about helping raise money for good causes, but Charlize Theron told Conan O'Brien that it's not always on the up-and-up.
The "Snow White and the Huntsman" babe, who was spotted prettying up at The Wilda Salon yesterday (June 6), explained that she'd recently been auctioned off to a strange man for a charity date.
Gearing up for another interview, Michael Fassbender was spotted at NBC Studios for his appearance on the "Today" show this morning (June 5).
Joined by his costar Noomi Rapace, the "Haywire" hunk plugged "Prometheus," which hits theaters this Friday (June 8th).
Stepping out for an enjoyable evening, Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron were spotted at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards last night (June 3).

Stronger and lighter.
With the 5050 3 Pedal, Crank Brothers redesigned its classic platform to deliver a lighter, more durable pedal with improved grip and a slimmer profile. The 5050 3 pedal features a two-piece body with an aluminum alloy outer shoulder that is more resilient against impacts. Crank Brothers uses a lightweight and durable polycarbonate on the inner portion of the body, and the spindle is made from forged chromoly steel alloy that's claimed to be 50% stronger than the previous version. Crank Brothers also boosts the 5050 3's performance with a mix of high-load needle bearings and cartridge bearings. Lastly, the 5050 3 allows you to dial in your grip with height-adjustable pins.

We appreciate your contributions, but this is not a fix.
Further I hope you plan to offer support to every single problem that may arise from what you are trying to do.
Just grabbing a bunch of packages from svn can cause quite a few problems as we use custom libraries, drivers, etc,
A good idea would be to use our redmine to let us know what tools you feel are missing and should be added, further if you feel thatsome are outdated and should be updated. Just taking two packages in the above screen shot as an example, Metasploit can cause lots of problems if something goes a little south. Nessus, is another one.
Further converting everything to svn installs is going to cause lots of headaches when those packages get updated from svn and apt.
To all others who wish to use this tool, your mileage may vary and you are on your own!

Date: January 31 2013
Lance Armstrong believes a truth and reconciliation program is the "only way" to deal with cycling's doping crisis and the sport's governing body should have no role in the process.
Armstrong has spoken to Cyclingnews in his first interview since admitting to Oprah Winfrey two weeks ago that he doped to win the Tour de France seven times.
In an email interview with the British-based cycling publication, Armstrong expressed no remorse or contrition and said he feels like a scapegoat for a sport in which no generation was ever "clean".
Armstrong said the best way forward is a truth and reconciliation process offering amnesty to riders and officials who come forward.
"It's not the best way, it's the only way," he said. "As much as I'm the eye of the storm this is not about one man, one team, one director. This is about cycling and to be frank it's about all endurance sports.
"Publicly lynching one man and his team will not solve this problem."
Asked if he felt like a fall guy, Armstrong said: "Actually, yes I do. But I understand why. We all make the beds we sleep in."
He said the truth and reconciliation process should be run by the World Anti-Doping Agency and not the US Anti-Doping Agency, the body which produced a scathing report detailing systematic doping by Armstrong and his teams. The USADA report led to Armstrong being stripped of his seven Tour titles and banned from elite sport for life.
Asked why he would not speak to USADA, Armstrong said: "No brainer. This is a global sport not an American one."
He also insisted that international cycling body UCI and its president, Pat McQuaid, should not be involved.
"The UCI has no place at the table," Armstrong said.
He called McQuaid "pathetic" and said he was only interested in protecting himself.
"When I was on speaking terms with ol' Pat McQuaid many, many months ago I said, 'Pat, you better think bold here. A full-blown, global, TRC is our sport's best solution'," Armstrong said. "He wanted to hear nothing of it."
The UCI and WADA have been engaged in a war of words over how to deal with the fallout from the Armstrong scandal. WADA has called the UCI "deceitful" for shutting down its independent doping panel and said it won't participate in an amnesty commission set up by the cycling body.
Armstrong was asked about USADA chief executive Travis Tygart's statements that the rider was only hoping to restore his eligibility.
"That was Travis' stunt to make me look self-serving," Armstrong said, reiterating his claim that it was unfair that riders who testified against him received reduced sanctions while he was given a life ban.
"Letting some race the season, then giving minor off-seasons sanctions versus the death penalty isn't fair and isn't about 'cleaning up cycling'," he said. "It's about getting your man."
Asked when he realised that doping was rife in cycling, Armstrong said his generation was no different than any others.
"The 'help' has evolved over the years but the fact remains that our sport is damn hard, the Tour was invented as a stunt, and very tough (riders) have competed for a century and all looked for advantages, from hopping on trains 100 years ago to EPO now," he said.
"No generation was exempt or 'clean'. Not Merckx's, not Hinault's, not LeMond's, not Coppi's, not Gimondi's, not Indurain's, not Anquetil's, not Bartali's, and not mine."

A posterior prolapse occurs when the thin wall of fibrous tissue (fascia) that separates the rectum from the vagina weakens, allowing the vaginal wall to bulge. Posterior prolapse is also called a rectocele (REK-toe-seel) because typically, though not always, it's the front wall of the rectum that bulges into the vagina.
Childbirth and other processes that put pressure on the fascia can lead to posterior prolapse. A small prolapse may cause no signs or symptoms. If a posterior prolapse is large, it may create a noticeable bulge of tissue through the vaginal opening. Though this bulge may be uncomfortable, it's rarely painful.
If needed, self-care measures and other nonsurgical options are often effective. In severe cases, you may need surgical repair.

City of: Book 1. Doyle didn't have much with him, even after death. If he even decided to make something else as a neat reminder of him it probably would have been gone in a night. An Irish, half-bred demon who received visions from The Powers That Be. Angel and Cordelia had made a private investigation agency thanks to him; "Angel Investigations: We help the helpless". But one night, one night is what changes his fate and his path to redemption. It began with a chase. And ended in the way Doyle didn't expect...nor did Angel.

Graves diseaseDiffuse thyrotoxic goiter
Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder that leads to overactivity of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism). An autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy tissue.
The thyroid gland is an important organ of the endocrine system.The thyroid glandis locatedat the front of the neck above where the collar bones meet. This gland releases the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which control body metabolism. Controlling metabolism isimportant for regulating mood, weight, and mental and physical energy levels.
Whenthe body makes too much thyroid hormone, the condition is called hyperthyroidism. (An underactive thyroid leads to hypothyroidism.)
Graves disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It isdue toan abnormal immune system response that causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone. Graves disease is most common in women over age 20.But the disordercan occur at any age andcan affect men as well.
Younger patients may have these symptoms:
- Anxiety
- Breast enlargement in men (possible)
- Difficulty concentrating
- Double vision
- Eyeballs that stick out (exophthalmos)
- Eye irritation and tearing
- Fatigue
- Frequent bowel movements
- Goiter (possible)
- Heat intolerance
- Increased appetite
- Increased sweating
- Insomnia
- Irregular menstrual periods in women
- Muscle weakness
- Nervousness
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat (palpitations or arrhythmia)
- Restlessness and difficulty sleeping
- Shortness of breath with activity
- Tremor
- Weight loss (rarely, weight gain)
Older patients may have these symptoms:
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Chest pain
- Memory loss
- Weakness and fatigue
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will do a physical exam and may find that you have an increased heart rate.An exam ofyour neck may find thatyour thyroid gland is enlarged (goiter).
Other tests include:
- Blood tests to measure levels of TSH, T3, and free T4
- Radioactive iodine uptake and scan
This disease may also affect the following test results:
- Orbit CT scan or ultrasound
- Thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI)
- Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody
- Anti-TSH receptor antibody
Treatment is aimed at controlling youroveractive thyroid. Medicines called beta-blockers are often used to treat symptoms of rapid heart rate, sweating, and anxiety until the hyperthyroidism is controlled. Hyperthyroidism is treated with one or more of the following:
- Antithyroid medications
- Radioactive iodine
- Surgery
If you have radiationor surgery, you will need to take replacement thyroid hormones for the rest of your life, because these treatments destroy or remove the gland.
Some of the eye problems related to Graves disease usually improve when hyperthyroidism is treated with medications, radiation, or surgery. Radioactive iodine can sometimes make eye problems worse. Eye problems are worse in people who smoke, even after the hyperthyroidism is cured.
Sometimes prednisone (a steroid medication that suppresses the immune system) is needed to reduce eye irritation and swelling.
You may need to tape your eyes closed at night to prevent drying. Sunglasses and eye drops may reduce eye irritation. In rare cases, surgery or radiation therapy (different from radioactive iodine) may be needed to prevent further damage to the eye and loss of vision.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Graves disease often responds well to treatment. Thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine usually will causean underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Without getting the correct dosage of thyroid hormone replacement, hypothyroidism can lead to:
- Depression
- Mental and physical sluggishness
- Weight gain
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Graves disease. Also call if your eye problems orother symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have symptoms of hyperthyroidism with:
- Decrease in consciousness
- Fever
- Rapid, irregular heartbeat

A former Torrance resident whose wife vanished more than 30 years ago was sentenced today to 15 years to life in prison and agreed to lead a sheriff's dive team to the site where he dumped the woman's body in 1981.
Michael Lubahn Clark, 59, was convicted in October of second-degree murder for the slaying of his high school sweetheart, Carol Jeanne Lubahn. The 26-year-old woman was last seen alive March 31, 1981, and her body was never found.
Torrance police reopened the cold case and eventually arrested the house painter in April 2011 at his Huntington Beach town house.
The couple - graduates of North High School in Torrance - were the parents of two children and had been married about 10 years when she disappeared.
Clark's wife had urged him to sell their home in the 17600 block of Cranbrook Avenue, and he feared she was going to divorce him if he signed the papers, according to Deputy District Attorney John Lewin.
Details of Clark's account of when he had last seen his wife changed in numerous interviews with police over the years, according to the prosecutor.
According to Lewin, Clark initially said he had pushed his wife and she hit her head on a table in the couple's living room, killing her instantly. But when he was confronted further, Clark said he punched the woman in the head, Lewin said.
"I don't know if we're ever going to know what happened," Lewin said.
Clark later divorced his wife in absentia and wed another woman, according to the prosecutor. That marriage ended in divorce, he said.
During the sentencing hearing, Lewin said Clark has now agreed to try to lead a sheriff's dive team to the site where the woman's body was dumped off the coast of San Pedro, near Point Vicente. That search is expected to take place Wednesday, he said.
"Whether we can do it or not, I don't know," Lewin said.
Clark said nothing during the sentencing hearing.
Lewin said Clark continued to refuse to take responsibility for the woman's death, and was slow to provide any information, causing the woman's family further pain.
"Instead of just ripping the Band-Aid off, it comes off in millimeters," he said.
The prosecutor said Clark had "30 years of freedom that he shouldn't have had," and noted that he for years led his children to believe their mother had abandoned them.

|This was a very enjoyable climb. There is some fine class 3-4 scrambling, especially in the lower section and along the arete below the top (although like most Sierra chutes, the gullies had some loose rocks). The weather was absolutely perfect. Kudos to my climbing partner Samantha for her safe climbing, great companionship, and perfect route finding.

|Hiked to Evolution Basin from McClure Meadows in Evolution Valley and started up the West Face. Ended up picking the wrong gullies and ended up part way between Darwin and Mendel. After a long traverse over ribs and gullies finally made it to the summit plateau and did a few easy bouldering moves to reach the pinnacle! Weather was fantastic after getting blown off the Hermit two days earlier and weathering a storm to reach Muriel Peak the day before.

Follow Pope on Twitter, Get Time Off Purgatory Stay
(NEWSER) – If you're a Catholic due to spend some time in purgatory before heading on up to heaven, we have good news for you: You can shorten the length of time you have to spend there just by following Pope Francis on Twitter, the Guardian reports. A papal court has announced it will grant "indulgences," which reduce purgatory time, to Catholics who attend Catholic World Youth Day. But if you can't make it to Rio de Janeiro for the event, which begins Monday, the court says that following the "rites and pious exercises" on TV, radio, or online will serve as an acceptable stand-in.

Badger Aromatic Chest Rub Ornament Highlights: Safe for the whole family Natural and effective relief from coughs, colds, and stuffy noses Can be used as a soothing chest rub, or as a steam inhalant when added to a humidifier or a pot of hot water Frequently Asked Questions Is Aromatic Chest Rub a decongestant?Their Aromatic Chest Rub can act as a natural decongestant, especially when you use it in a steam. Just put 1/4 teaspoon of balm in a basin of hot water, make a tent over the basin with a towel and inhale the steam deeply. The Eucalyptus, Menthol Crystals, and other essential oils will help to clear your stuffy nose so that you can breathe easier. You can also apply Aromatic Chest Rub directly to your sore, chapped nose and not only will it help to clear your stuffy head, it will soothe your poor skin. What is the shelf life of an unopened tin of Badger?An unopened tin of Badger stored at moderate temperatures should be good for three years. If you open it and it smells good, it is good. Since most of their products are made with a base of olive oil and beeswax, both natural preservatives, even a balm that doesn't smell as good is still safe to use, just not as pleasant! They do not use chemical stabilizers or any other nasty stuff, so extremes in temperature (such as freezing, thawing, and humidity) can affect shelf life by changing the consistency and lessening the scent of the balm. How can I find the expiration date on my product?All of their tins are imprinted with a "Best By" date on the outside of the lid, which is three years from manufacture. Their lip balms have both a date of manufacture and a "BB" (best by) date stamped on the bottom of the stick, which is two years after manufacture. Their oils have a "Best By" date sticker on the product boxes as well as on the bottom of the glass bottle, which is two years from the manufacture date. Their sunscreens have an "EXP" (expiration date) imprinted on the top of the tube within the crimped seal, which is two years from the manufacture date. How long will an opened tin last?As soon as you open a tin of any product and use it, the life span varies. Since Badger does not use any chemical stabilizers, factors such as storage temperature and humidity, as well as how clean the fingers are that scoop out the product impact an open tin's life span. Essential oils will slowly but surely evaporate from an open tin; that's the pleasant fragrance you smell when you open one. You can expect your opened balm to stay good for 12 months, however if it looks good and smells good, it is still good! How can I make sure my Badger stays fresh?Keep it covered when not in use. Keep your product out of direct sun when possible, and avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Refrigeration is not necessary, but it will certainly prolong the life of the product. Why does the balm in my tin of Badger look different than the last time I bought it?Badger uses only minimally-processed natural ingredients, and because of this, variation in color from one batch to another is common. Normal variance in sunshine, rain, or temperature from year to year or country harvested can all subtly affect natural ingredients. One season's pressing of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil may be greener in color than others, or you may experience a stronger or subtler scent with an essential oil. These are all normal and to be expected with natural ingredients. What happens if one of my Badger products freezes or melts? Can I still use it?Absolutely. However, you may find that the consistency will change a little. Sometimes the product becomes much softer and creamier if it freezes and then thaws, but it is still absolutely fine to use. Can I use Badger products on my face?Badger products are so natural that they are safe to use anywhere on your body. Of course, they don't recommend using their Muscle & Joint Rubs on your face, so please use your own discretion and common sense. Their Damascus Rose Beauty Balm, Damascus Rose Face Oil, Damascus Rose SPF 16 Face Sunscreen Lotion, and SPF 16 Sunscreen Lotion were formulated for use on the face, and they receive a lot of feedback from Badgers all over the world who say it that these products softens and smooth their skin like none other. Damascus Rose SPF 16 Face Sunscreen Lotion and SPF 16 Sunscreen Lotion have been tested & approved Non-Comedogenic (won't clog pores). I'm pregnant and/or nursing, are Badger products safe for me?Pregnant or nursing moms should always check with their doctors. Badger uses only the highest quality natural and USDA Certified Organic ingredients. No chemicals or chemical derivatives are used, and the essential oils used are in low percentages, therefore moderate use should be safe for all. As with all new products, it is best to do a skin patch test to test for possible allergic reactions. Can I use Badger products on my children/baby?Absolutely! They have received feedback from moms, dads and grandparents that Badger Balm and Baby Balm are safe and effective when used on even the littlest Badger's skin irritations, cradle cap and diaper rash. Many people also use their Anti-Bug Repellents, Sleep Balm, Bali Balm, and Night-Night Balm as natural alternatives for their children. As with all new products it is best to do a skin patch test prior to full usage to test for any skin allergies, and if you have any questions please check with your doctor. I have allergies to Gluten, are Badger Products safe for me?Badger does not use any gluten or gluten-derived ingredients at their facility in New Hampshire, so their balms, oils, Anti-Bug Shake & Spray and Anti-Bug Stick are filled on machinery that has not processed gluten materials. However, Badger is not a certified gluten-free facility, so there cannot be a 100% guarantee. When using a new product for the first time, it is a good idea to read their full-disclosure labels carefully and/or perform a skin patch test prior to full use. Their lip balm sticks are filled by an off-sight subcontractor who also processes wheat amino acids and wheat proteins. Measures are taken to prevent cross contamination and all GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards are followed. Batches are also periodically tested to be sure that the cleaning processes are sufficient to reduce cross contamination of any allergens; however these products cannot be guaranteed gluten-free. I have allergies to Peanuts & Tree Nuts – are Badger products safe for me to use?Badger products do not contain peanuts or peanut products. However, Badger does not claim that their products are peanut-free because they do not have a peanut-free certification. Products that are manufactured at their subcontractors' facilities (lip balms; sunscreens; soaps) do not contain peanuts. However they may be produced on equipment that does produce products containing peanuts. While GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards are met during the cleaning process, the company does not claim to have a peanut free facility, nor does it hold any peanut-free certifications. Some Badger products contain Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Soybean Oil, and Nutmeg. All of these ingredients have been linked to severe nut allergies and may or may not cause a reaction. GMP standards for cleaning are followed to eliminate any possible cross contamination at the Badger facility and its subcontractors', however they cannot guarantee that any of their products are 100% nut-free, nor do they currently hold any certifications for this. When using a new product for the first time, it is a good idea to read their full-disclosure labels carefully and/or perform a skin patch test prior to full use. I have allergies to Soy – are Badger products safe for me to use?Currently there are only a few things in the Badger lineup that contain soy derivatives: the Anti-Bug Shake & Spray has Soybean Oil, their lotion-based sunscreens (SPF 16 Aloe Vera, and Damascus Rose SPF 16 Face Sunscreen) contain soy ingredients as part of the emulsifiers. Badger sunscreens manufactured prior to June 2012 contain Tocopherol (natural vitamin E), which is partially derived from soy. All of Badger Sunscreens manufactured after June 2012 are made with 100% Sunflower-derived Vitamin E. Look for this specification (eg: Tocopherol (Sunflower Vitamin E) on the product label if you have allergies. All the Body Oils and Massage Oils (including Baby Oil and Damascus Rose Face Oil) are filled using the same machine that fills the Anti-Bug Shake & Spray bottle. Although they are careful to perform GMP compliant cleanings between all batches to reduce the chance of cross contamination, they are not a certified Soy-free facility. All balms packaged in the tins are made on machinery that has not touched any soy ingredients. So, although they are not a certified soy-free facility, these items have very low risk of any cross contamination. When using a new product for the first time, it is a good idea to read their full-disclosure labels carefully and/or perform a skin patch test prior to full use. I have allergies to Corn – are Badger products safe for me to use?Badger does not use corn or corn oil in any of their products, however, Badger sunscreens manufactured prior to June 2012 contain Tocopherol (natural vitamin E), which is partially derived from corn. All of Badger Sunscreens manufactured after June 2012 are made with 100% Sunflower-derived Vitamin E. Look for this specification (eg: Tocopherol (Sunflower Vitamin E) on the product label if you have allergies. When using a new product for the first time, it is a good idea to read their full-disclosure labels carefully and/or perform a skin patch test prior to full use. My dog, cat, lizard ate my tin of Badger, will they be OK?All the ingredients contained in Badger products are natural (and most of them are also food-grade Certified Organic). In most cases, if consumed by a pet (except cats), there would be no harmful effect. Cats cannot process essential oils, so if the product has a high essential oil content it may make your cat sick. Check with your vet to be sure, since different animals have different sensitivities to essential oils, and though they're Badgers they're no animal experts! Is it ok to use Badger on my cat?No, it is not okay to use any product containing essential oils on a cat. They cannot process essential oils in the same way that dogs or humans do and it may make them sick. Do you do animal testing?No way – they love animals and will never test on them! W.S. Badger conducts absolutely no product testing on animals, as all the ingredients are safe and "food grade" when used in the proper amounts (their essential oils are always properly diluted.) They test all prototype products on families, friends, volunteers and themselves. It's fun. If the new product does not pass their tough standards it does not make it to the marketplace. They are also certified by Leaping Bunny which means that not only do they not test their products on animals, but they have confirmed that none of their suppliers test their ingredients on animals either. Do Badger products contain any animal ingredients? Do you use oil made from badgers in your products?No, their products do not contain any animal ingredients and this includes badger oil. Most of their products do contain beeswax, which is produced by bees. Currently, only their Massage Oils, Body Oils (including Baby Oil), Face Oil, Damascus Rose SPF 16 Face Sunscreen Lotion, and SPF 16 Sunscreen Lotion with Aloe Vera are vegan. Do Badger formulas contain any chemical ingredients?Read their labels and you will not see any petroleum derived products, sodium lauryl sulfate, chemical additives, chemical preservatives, synthetics, dyes or fragrances, parabens, or carcinogens. They are committed to being chemical-free, 100% natural and USDA Certified Organic, and almost all of their products bear the official USDA Organic seal. All of their minerals, including zinc oxide and the minerals in their tinted lip balms are processed in a laboratory to ensure purity. About BadgerBack in 1995 Bill and Katie started making Badger Balm in the kitchen of their home with the support and help of their daughters Mia, Emily, and Rebecca. Now Bill is the CEO, Katie is the COO, Emily is the Director of Sales & Marketing, Rebecca is the Director of Product Development, and Mia is a Human Resources consultant. Emily has a little girl, Maya, who came to work as part of Badger's Babies at Work program. They've not yet figured out what her future role in the company will be, but for now she continues to inspire us every day to make the safest and healthiest products they can. A team of over 40 friendly "Badgers" formulate, manufacture, and ship all of their products from their facility known as The Badger Mines. They work hard to maintain a healthy community-minded business with ethical and charitable social principles. Call and ask any employee. You'll hear about their free organic lunches every day, generous benefits package, green initiatives in every department, and their charitable giving practices. What Makes Badger Unique?Badger is a small, family-owned & family-friendly company nestled on the banks of the Ashuelot River in rural Gilsum, New Hampshire. They blend organic plant extracts, exotic oils and butters and beeswax, and make healing balms, lip balms, safe mineral sunscreens and other personal care products that work and feel remarkably good. Badger products are uniquely formulated blends of the finest organic ingredients available anywhere in the world. Their Philosophy of Formulation is simple: make products for people they love, and then share them with the world. They combine years of tradition, research, and lots of love to create products that work as well as you expect them to. They hold every single ingredient to the "Badger Natural Standard", a rigorous look at the growth, sustainability, and supply chain of each ingredient they use. That means that when you use Badger products, you can be sure that you are using the purest, most natural products available. And because the USDA Organic Certification is a food-grade standard, their ingredients are even pure enough to eat! Badger's USDA Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from a single estate in Southern Spain, and that very same Olive Oil is used by Michelin Star-winning chefs in France and Spain! In fact, all of the Badgers eat the very same Olive Oil in Badger's organic lunches, and many of us purchase it to use in their home kitchens. And of course, they use only the finest, purest essential oils from the far corners of the globe. One example is the Organic Rose Oil (Rosa Damascena) that comes from Bulgaria - the blossoms are hand picked before dawn and steam-distilled the very same day. It takes about 5 tons of fresh rose blossoms to make one liter of oil, and Badger pays over $4,000 per liter for that precious stuff! That's the Badger difference, and what makes Badger unique. Their products harness the powers of aromatherapy, vitamin rich oils, essential oils, and minerals to soothe, smooth, and protect your skin and your mind. This means that Badger is a total body/mind/spirit experience. If you look at the ingredient declaration on any of their products, they're certain you'll be impressed! They hope you enjoy their products as much as they do, and please contact us if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or a funny story to share.

In 2011, Badger became a Certified Benefit Corporation, which means a third party certifier rated their company's social responsibility performance, and offered guidance for how to continually improve their business practices. In 2013, they were rated in the top 10% of all B Corps! They support farmers and farming communities, as well as their customers: As a Certified Organic company, their purchasing practices always put health of product for their customers and health of farmer community first by using Certified Organic ingredients in their products. In addition to their organic requirement, whenever possible they use ethically sourced ingredients in their products including Certified Fair Trade ingredients. Additionally, they serve a Certified Organic lunch to their employees every day and drink Organic Fair Trade coffees and teas. All snacks in their company store are either Certified Organic or from sustainable, local farms. Charitable Giving: Badger donates 10% of before-tax profits or $10,000 (whichever is greater) to non-profit organizations that focus on the health & welfare of children, local organizations serving the community, and the promotion of peace. Most years, the amount they donate is over 5x's their minimum. They also match appropriate employee donations up to $100. Read more on their Charitable Giving page.

Also, Badger employees are paid to volunteer their time for environmental and community projects during the year.

Sound like a great place to work? It is! Badger's Environmental InitiativesAt Badger they make healthy products to help people and environmental responsibility is one of their core principles. They use mostly USDA Certified Organic ingredients in their products and they believe this support of sustainable organic agriculture helps to protect the environment, produces higher quality raw ingredients and helps to protect the farmers and their families from the dangers associated with chemical farming. When you add fair-trade into the equation, you are also helping to protect the economic welfare of their farmers and their families. In 2011, Badger became a B-Corporation to help assess and improve their business practices, so that they are always doing what's right for people and planet. They're constantly looking for ways to improve the way they do things, from ordering paper to packing their shipping boxes. Their Ingredients and Products They are a USDA Certified Organic company and most of their products contain 100% Certified Organic ingredients. Organic ingredients means healthy air, healthy water, healthy earth, and healthy people. Their ingredients are ecologically harvested, wild-crafted, and/or fairly traded. Their ingredients are 100% natural. By this they mean that they come directly from nature and are not chemically processed or extracted. Their only exceptions are the minerals in their tints and sunscreens, which are processed for purity and safety. Read more about their ingredient standards. They consistently evaluate the sustainability of all ingredients and they regularly review each of their suppliers' practices. They use Fair Trade Certified cocoa butter and other ethically sourced ingredients whenever possible. Sustainable Aspects of their Manufacturing Facility An independent evaluation of their new facility shows that it meets the LEED Silver standard for environmental building design. The site where their building now stands was an old sand pit. They are in the process of making the land healthy and beautiful again. The building makes extensive use of wood with much of it coming from local and regional sources. Their building is highly insulated; they also employed a "thermal break" in wall and roof systems for energy efficiency. The building is insulated with dense-packed cellulose derived from recycled newspaper and fireproofed with the inert mineral, boric acid. They were very careful to use non-toxic materials throughout the building including the paints, joint compound, floor and wood-trim finishes, counter tops and cabinets. The floors for instance are finished with a product called "Poly-Whey" which is derived from milk whey! They used natural linoleum for the lab and bathroom floors. The lab and kitchen counter tops are PaperStone, made from recycled paper and petroleum-free resin. They've installed many skylights, so they can use natural day-lighting whenever possible. The first floor concrete is simply colored with iron oxide and hardened with the non-toxic Ashford Process which makes the floor dense, dust-free, and easy to clean and maintain. They used shiplap boards for the second floor sub-flooring, and then decided to sand and finish it. It makes for a simple, inexpensive, rustic and naturally beautiful mill floor. They built the office cubbies on-site from Homesote (compressed recycled newspaper) and pine from a local mill. The desks are local pine, joined and sanded at the mill. Energy They are a 'Green Rate' customer with their electricity supplier (PSNH), meaning that they buy and retire Renewable Energy Certificates equal to 25% of their total monthly energy use. They use energy efficient compact fluorescent CF light bulbs to reduce unnecessary energy use. They have switched their computer system over to having a thin-client terminal at each desk, which offers significant power savings over personal computers. They are using phone and internet based trainings to reduce air travel of their employees. Paper and Supplies In the office, they ask people to think before printing e-mails and other files. They even use both sides of their paper! They use 100% post-consumer, non-chlorine bleached paper for their office and catalogs. Their catalogs and marketing materials are printed on Forest Stewardship Council Certified, 100% recycled papers. All of their cleaning supplies are biodegradable and their toilet paper and paper towels are made from post consumer waste in a chlorine-free process. They drink Certified Organic and Fair Trade Dean's Beans coffees. All of the water in the Badger Mines is filtered - so there's no need for water coolers. Water Conservation All toilets and showers in their new facility are low-flow. Water efficient landscaping - no potable use water used in landscaping. The Badger gardens have been mulched to a higher extent to reduce water requirements. Badger plans to start collecting rainwater with a guttering system for the gardens and low volume irrigation. Badger's manufacturing processes use minimal water and do not create any toxic waste that could get into the local water system. Reuse and Recycling They always find a use for the plastic bags, cardboard boxes, glass containers and packaging materials that their supplies come in. Even the Styrofoam peanuts they receive get reused! Their employees use non-disposable glasses, mugs and plates for lunch and drinks every day. Any material that they can't reuse or give away gets recycled, including damaged tins, glass and metal containers, cardboard boxes unfit for reuse, and all of their office paper waste. They compost food waste to be used around the gardens of the facility. Every desk has a recycling container, and there are larger containers located in the dining room for plastic, cans, and glass. Packaging and Shipping They ship UPS carbon neutral! Their famous tins are made from 89% post consumer recycled 'tin plated steel', the same material as soup cans. They hope you will find a way to reuse your empty tins (to store buttons, safety pins, etc), otherwise they are 100% recyclable. Their recyclable in-store display boxes are clay coated and made from 100% recycled newspaper. They changed their packing material from plastic bubble wrap to paper packing material, which is recyclable and biodegradable. They have many different sized shipping boxes so that they can always find the best fit (to not ship excess box space, extra packing materials or extra weight) and they reuse cardboard boxes they've received to ship their products when possible. They continuously seek more environmentally friendly packaging materials and shipping methods. They are currently working to replace plastic packaging with recycled metal and other alternatives. Their sunscreen tubes are >50% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content, as well as BPA- and Phthalate-free.
