Ingenious Uses for Chalkboard Paint
We hear many of you have long since tired of the chalkboard trend, yet we can't help but still be on board — especially when it comes to kids' spaces. It encourages creativity and allows children to decorate for themselves. Here's a roundup of a few projects to help get your creative juices flowing.
Also, don't forget about color! Hudson Paint has a remarkable line of brilliant hues, or you could make your own. We're currently debating what to do with it in our house.
Have you done a remarkable project using chalkboard paint? Do share please.

I just bought some lovely dark slate blue paint and unsanded grout to make my own chalkboard paint. My new art studio/office has a strip of wall above of some built in drawers that was covered with some hideous brown chipboard, I'm going to paint that with chalkboard paint for notes. First however I have to spackle over a bunch of nail holes.
Long live chalkboard paint! As a "trend" it might be tired but as something that will continue to inspire and entertain my kids, I couldn't care less.
enough already
I love that outdoor chalkboard. That's a great idea. However, the headboard, not so much. The chalk dust would be messy.
Yeah, I got on board with this a couple years ago thinking it would be so fun for my son, but I quickly realized I made a mistake because of the chalk dust. My son is not that fond of it either, anyway. I would do the outside one, though, if we had a yard.
I love chalkboard paint to the extent that we painted my son's Ikea Kura with it. It's the coolest bed in our apartment complex. All the kids envy his room because I put forth the effort to make every surface possible a place to create. Personally, I see chalkboard paint hanging around for a long time, despite the "enough alreadys." There's something about the versatility and interactiveness of it that speaks to me.
Chalkboard Paint + Ingenious = Oxymoron
Chalk against board is the most cringe inducing sound to me. Now if someone could fix me up some whiteboard paint or glass/mirror safe markers. I. would. use. it. everywhere! All the things!
We've done multiple sets of wine glasses for gifts, using chalk board paint on the bases. Everyone we have given them too LOVES them! Now I just need to find time to make some for myself!

Changes made to £400m Westgate plans (From thisisoxfordshire)

Changes made to £400m Westgate plans
Updated 11:57am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News
CHANGES have been made to the £400m Westgate redevelopment plan following concerns from heritage experts.
The Westgate Alliance, which has submitted its amended proposal to Oxford City Council, has lowered some of the buildings and changed the layout near Thames Street.
Sara Fuge, development manager for the Westgate Alliance, said: "The revisions have sought to take on board comments made by the city council, statutory consultees and the local community."
The new plans also include more window displays and entrances to the shops.
English Heritage, Oxford Civic Society and Oxford Preservation Trust all raised concerns about aspects of the proposals including the height – one part of it was initially higher than Carfax Tower, which is 18.2m.
Debbie Dance, director of the Preservation Trust, said: "We look forward to what's being proposed to see how it addresses the issues.
"We all recognise the importance of developing the Westgate and we want it to be done in the very best way for Oxford."
If approved, the development would feature about 70 new shops, including a John Lewis department store, cafes, restaurants and up to 122 homes.
A decision on the planning application is expected to be made by a committee of city councillors early this year.

Ralph Blumenthal reflects on covering the gays rights movement for the New York Times in the 1970s:
"I was cautioned, it was not the gay march, it was the homosexual march.
I dreaded to write that. Even then it marked me as woefully out of step with the zeitgeist. There was a leaden quality to the phrase, a sniffy retrograde disapproval.
No, I objected, they call themselves gays.
Gays? Now it was an editor's turn at consternation. Gay meant happy. Were they happy? No, they were homosexuals."

Winter Baby Checklist
As winter approaches, it's time to stock up on the essentials that will help Baby—and you—weather the cold months ahead. Here's a quick overview of some of the common items you'll find most useful.
|Snow suit or heavy bunting
|Don't rely on a heavy blanket to protect your baby from the elements. A warm piece that fits over her regular clothes is ideal when you'll be moving her outdoors. This should not, however, be used as her sole outfit; instead, dress your infant in layers and check her body temperature often. "Your baby is overheated if he is sweating, has damp hair, a heat rash, rapid breathing, or is restless," says the University of Minnesota SIDS Center.
|Hats, mittens, and
foot coverings
|A knit hat and mittens will protect your infant from wind and chilly temperatures. Once indoors, these items can be removed to avoid overheating. Outfitting your little one with soft, warm baby booties will also prevent heat from escaping through his extremities.
|Sweater (2-3)
|A staple item of any baby's wardrobe, a sweater is an ideal layering piece. Look for a soft knit with easy buttons or snaps that will fit comfortably over her long-sleeved bodysuits.
|Lightweight receiving blankets may not provide the warmth needed during colder months. A fleece cover retains heat while protecting your baby from winter elements including snow, sleet, and wind.
|Footed sleepers and
sleep sacks (3-5)
|Bundling your baby isn't safe at night, when he can easily overheat. A footed sleeper or sleep sack allows him to stay warm and comfortable when temperatures drop, with the added convenience of not having to sort through layers to change that middle-of-the-night diaper.
|Car seat cover and
heavy stroller blanket
|Keep your baby warm and toasty while out and about. Your little one will need an added layer of warmth and protection to enjoy family outdoor activities.
|Moisturizing lotion or body oil
|When purchasing skin products for your baby, look for non-perfumed lotions and oils specially suited to her sensitive skin. Seek out natural, soothing, and emollient ingredients such as almond, olive, coconut, or palm oil; calendula; or marigold. Most pediatricians recommend avoiding antibacterial soaps, baths, and shampoos. Also avoid any baby products containing artificial colors, allergenic or irritating preservatives (such as quaternium 15, imidazolidinyl urea, or parabens), diethanolamine (DEA) or triethanolamine (TEA), and sodium lauryl sulfate or cocamide-DEA.
|Home and car emergency kits
|As inclement weather sets in, it's wise to have a preparedness kit ready in your home and car. In your car, you should have a first aid kit, portable radio, a flash light and extra batteries, ice scraper, a shovel and a bag of kitty litter (great for getting a stuck tire out of a snow bank), a warm change of clothes and shoes for each member of your family, extra hats, socks and mittens, a charged mobile phone, an emergency blanket and/or warm wool blankets, water, ready-to-eat-formula and a bottle for bottle-fed babies, and snacks. Home kits should include a fire extinguisher and first aid kit, set aside a shelf for matches and candles, an oil lamp and oil, flashlight and batteries, extra blankets, and winter clothing gear. Always keep a couple extra gallons of drinking water and a collection of canned goods or pantry items that don't require cooking on hand. Winter storms can knock out electricity; if your family requires electricity for heating and cooking, you'll need to be prepared.
|Hand sanitizer
|Keeping yourself healthy is a vital part of caring for your baby. Hand sanitizer helps kill those nasty germs that lurk year-round, but whose effects are so devastating in winter months. While washing with soap and warm water is ideal, antibacterial gels help reduce your and your little one's exposure to myriad contagions.
|You've probably heard it before—the sun's rays are just as potent during the chilly months of winter as they are in the summer. In fact, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) has published information on two recent studies which determined that, for individuals at higher altitudes, there is actually an increased risk of sunburn in winter. According to dermatologist Dr. Darrel S. Rigel, "snow reflects more than 80 percent of the sun's rays, even on cloudy days." That's why it is highly important that everyone wear a broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) with an SPF of at least 15, every time they go outdoors. Even if you're not in a snowy climate, you'll benefit your baby and yourself by applying sunscreen before you head outdoors.
|Dry winter air can wreak havoc on baby's skin. An inexpensive humidifier helps keep moisture in and can eliminate or reduce chapped skin, especially around your infant's nasal passages and mouth. Never place a humidifier next to your baby's crib, and if you choose one that emits warm steam, make sure that no little ones can reach the steam source, which can burn their sensitive skin.
|Fleece pad and flannel crib sheets
|While you should not cover your baby with a blanket until she is at least one year old, a fleece pad and flannel crib sheets are a great way to safely add warmth overnight. Look for pads and sheets that fit snugly over her crib mattress, to avoid an increased risk of SIDS.
|Room thermometer
|While the thermostat in your house may tell you it's a warm 70 degrees, your baby's room can be significantly warmer or cooler, depending upon its location within the home. The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths, which has seen increased cases of SIDS during winter months, suggests that baby's room be kept at a moderate 65 degrees.

A morning session (8:45 am to 12:45 pm) will share up-to-date information about health risks, pre-work inspections, work set-up and staging, systematic clean-out and proper tear-out procedures and more information important for contractors, building inspectors and other housing professionals working on mold remediation. An afternoon session (1:45 pm to 5:45 pm) will instruct homeowners and other interested members of the public about these same issues as well share helpful information on retrofit upgrade considerations for energy savings, healthy housing-related materials and equipment, and tips for hiring mold remediation professionals. Mold will continue to be a serious health issue and an obstacle to successful, long-term rebuilding, says Donna M. Blaze, CEO of the Affordable Housing Alliance. Many so-called experts are out there but both building professionals and homeowners need to have the most current information from a credible non-profit organization like the National Center for Healthy Housing and NeighborWorks America in order to make the right decisions, not get gouged financially, and most importantly, take the correct steps to eliminate mold permanently. Mold is a significant health risk which can be treated superficially and then recur in the spring and summer, once the weather gets warmer. Choosing the right materials, the right remediation techniques and the right contractor is very important. The National Center for Healthy Housing develops and promotes practical methods to protect children and families from environmental health hazards in their homes. Working with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HUD and US Environmental Protection Agency, it develops training programs to help states, cities and communities effectively identify and address housing-related hazards. The National Center for Healthy Housing operates the National Healthy Homes Training Center through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and support from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Training Center is aimed at helping states, cities, and community-based organizations effectively identify and address housing-related hazards. NeighborWorks Americas experiences working in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the Gulf showed the importance of good, accurate information on mold remediation to assure that homes were repaired appropriately for long-term habitation. We welcome the opportunity to present the newest technologies to New Jersey building professionals and homeowners, and thank our affiliate the Affordable Housing Alliance for organizing the training locally, said Deborah Boatright, Northeast Regional Director, NeighborWorks America. There is no charge to attend this workshop but registration by February 8 is encouraged. On-site registration is available if space is available. Seating is limited so please register today by emailing email@example.com or by calling 732-389-2958.

Journey to the Edge of the Universe: Is this what National Geographic has come to? Alec Baldwin gives a laughably melodramatic reading of an already insipid script in this dumbed-down production. This might be a good tool for introducing grade school kids to astronomy but grownups or anyone who already has a basic knowledge of space will find it hard to get through. You're better off watching Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of the Universe with Prof. Brian Cox. 2 or 3 stars, depending on the audience.
A few passing thoughts on a movie everyone's already seen:
Ben-Hur - I caught a few moments of it on TCM today. I say a "few moments" because I no longer have the stamina to absorb the entirety of this colossal bore at a single sitting. The chariot race still has pizzazz (though I like the silent version quite as much) and here and there a spark of Hollywood professionalism triggers something that almost approximates interest. But it's so elephantine, so preposterous, so intrinsically unbelievable. I say this as one who counts religious "miracle" epics among his guilty pleasures. I breathlessly await the inevitable Holy Card sequence, where the clouds part and the Light of Heaven streams earthward, enfolding the characters in Christian love -- usually after those episodes of sex and violence that lured the audience into the theater in the first place. The soundtrack's violins and choir swell to a crescendo. Faith cures all -- the blind see again, the crippled girl becomes Flo-Jo, the whore is re-virginized, the impotent dicks regain their stiffness, and the revenge-hungry hero has the sword taken from his hand by the Lord's Mighty Voice, delivering an APB from the cross. In Ben-Hur we action fans luck out. We get the pleasure of seeing the villain ground into dust at the hero's feet before the hero himself is Born Again. He pauses at the door of his fashionable Jerusalem digs to fondle the mezuzah, but we know that's all in the past: He's now a Jew for Jesus! For a moment leave aside the theological irreconcilables of this transformation. Do you personally know any urban Jews un-cynical enough to believe that another Jew is the Son of God?
Do you personally know any urban Jews un-cynical enough to believe that another Jew is the Son of God?
Best line of the day, Sev.
Danger Lights (1930)
4/5 Stars
I was prepared for the worst when I put this DVD in the player and the Alpha Video logo appeared on my TV monitor but the image and sound are actually pretty decent. I liked the visual style and the acting is good with the exception of a rather wooden Robert Armstrong. Not as hokey as some other films from this era.
50/50--story about a guy that gets cancer, indie comedy, Seth Rogen & Gordon-Levitt. Sort of tired of Seth Rogen's humor, and most of the scenes were improvised--about 3 stars.
Live Free or Die Hard--more Brue Willis playing his super hero persona. It's more of the same, so if you enjoy the franchise, you'd probably enjoy this one as well. More explosions and gun fights, if you're in the mood fun stuff.
War of the Worlds--HG Wells story of invading aliens. This is the original and still better film.
4 Stars
This amazing film sat in my saved queue for a long time until it finally became available. Patience paid off with much reward.Beautiful landscapes of rural Hunan province are the background for this story of a Chinese father passing on his lifelong occupation as a postmen on foot to remote mountainous villages. As the father introduces his son to the rigors of his route, both men gain insights into the others lives which had been missing because of the father being away from home for long streches of time.
Postmen was very good and the footage is amazing. I also like Three Days of the Condor.
4 Stars
Excellent Spy Thriller with Robert Reford who plays a low level CIA employee whose job is to read books to try to find hidden codes and messages. His nondescript Ny City townhouse office is "hit" and we are left to figure out who are the good guys and who has been "compromised". Very well told story which could have been over-complicated but instead flows in an evenly developed way.
Heart like a Wheel (1983)
Real good bio pic. 4 out of 5 stars. Bonnie B is great. I'm surprised she didn't have a bigger career. A woman in a "man's sport"--and winning big time. I didn't care for the music/soundtrack, which seemed to date the film terribly (it sounded like a '70's soundtrack from a made for tv afterschool special). Good storytelling. The real Muldowney didn't care much form Bedelia or the the portrayal of her life, but thought the film was great fro the sport of drag racing. She wanted Jamie Lee Curtis to play her.
Bedelia's performance is great!
I should include her on the Great Performances thread.
Day-Time Wife (1939)
3/5 Stars
Linda Darnell was all of 16 years old when she made this film but she was convincing as a twenty something married woman. I imagine censors of the day had problems with the film's flippant stance on adultery. Well made screwball comedy.
Johnny Apollo (1940)
4/5 Stars
Not as dark as some post-war noirs but has all the ingredients. If you've only seen Dorothy Lamour in a sarong it's a kick to see her playing a tough-as-nails gangster moll.

Heya folks, tonight's the American Music Awards (one step below The Grammys and two steps above the People's Choice Awards) and we're here to liveblog the whole thee-hour shebang! Now that Mad Men's wrapped up for the season, you've got no excuse not to tune in to see every last pop star try to outshine one another—with their performances, their outfits, or by just being an a-hole on-air. (Somebody's gotta play the villain role in Kanye's absence.) After the epic VMAs back in September, the AMAs have a lot to live up to in terms of incessantly-talked-about watercooler moments: if one drunken throw-down doesn't take place, if Jennifer Lopez doesn't stumble to the ground while prancing around in her Loubies, or if Lady Gaga refrains from terrifying us with a pantsless performance peppered with bodily fluids, we're calling it a snoozefest. Onto the awards!
7:45 p.m. Pre-show! And it's off to a predictable start—Perez Hilton is doing his typical media-whoring, Twilight no-names are given more attention than they deserve had they not been in that franchise, and Kelly Clarkson is wearing something unflattering for her body type.
7:46 p.m. This ABC dude on the red carpet=worst interviewer of all time?
7:50 p.m. Question: Do we actually care what musicians are listening to on their iPod? Especially when they just rattle off bands and artists without elaborating why they like them?
7:51 p.m. Signs you're already too famous: Adam Lambert sprinting the carpet and bypassing almost all press. (Hey, at least he made enough time to talk to moi [picture a giant smirk on my face right now.])
7:54 p.m. Could Taylor Swift rip-offs instead of Lady Gags rip-offs be the fashion trend of the night? Selena Gomez is wearing Swift-esque silver sparkles as is Kelly Clarkson, while I don't see anyone wearing a piece of red fabric wrapped around their face or a mane made out of swan feathers.
8:00 p.m. The opening beats to "What Have You Done For Me Lately" is already getting me kind of excited about this Janet Jackson medley.
8:01 p.m. Girl is killing it, too bad she's dressed like what Pocahontas would look like if she was a feminist who refused to wear anything but pants.
8:02 p.m. Hey, Australia, Janet Jackson appears to be not singing completely live, ya gonna hate on her, too? Australia? You listening? Oh, wait, I forgot, this is the American Music Awards, where our artists can feel free to fake sing while wearing a headset as much as their heart desires. Continue, Ms. Jackson!
8:06 p.m. Okay, I'm throwing it out there – would all these awards shows currently care about Janet Jackson as much if not for her brother's death? Yes, she's still a phenomenal performer, but we all know anything MJ-related since his passing gets massive amounts of attention. Discuss.
8:08 p.m. Paula Abdul is the worst ventriloquist in the world. Oh wait, no, her mic wasn't on. Also, her dress melted into the floor.
8:10 p.m. And the Backslashy Award (Best Pop/Rock—Band/Duo/Group) goes to the Black Eyed Peas. Fergie is also wearing a glittery silver dress. Swift, you trendsetter!
8:15 p.m. A sliver of presenter Kristen Bell's stomach is showing. I'm enraptured by it. Oh and Best Country Band/Duo/Group goes to Rascal Flatts. Back to Bell's stomach. Did she run out of fabric? Or was too shy to just go full-midriff? So confused.
8:17 p.m. Pete Wentz, presenting Daughtry's performance, looks like he could, and probably will, beat somebody up in an alley. It's a look that certainly suits him better than those 7,000 hoodies he's so fond of wearing. I will plead the fifth on the facial hair.
8:19 p.m. Ah. Daughtry. This oughtta wake up the crowd.
8:21 p.m. And straight into a Shakira performance! It kind of sounds like "Hollaback Girl" version of "Give It Up To Me" with the claps and acappella sing-a-long with her backup dancers. And Shakira looks like she ran over a disco ball with a steamroller and wrapped it as tight as possible around her abdomen.
8:30 p.m. Sofia Vergara from Modern Family is having a freaking ball onstage! I wish I was that full of joy on a daily basis for no reason whatsoever.
8:31 p.m. This Keith Urban performance isn't helping. What, no cutaway shots of Nicole Kidman in the audience?

My Veloster Review by An MSN Autos Consumer on 04/02/2014. Trim: 2014 Hyundai Veloster Turbo, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I test drove other traditional 4 door cars in this price range and found that I couldn't find one with sufficient power to comfortably make the transition from my S60R. On a whim I took my wife's advice and tried out the Veloster and enjoyed both the non-traditional 3 door styling, since I have a need for a car seat, and the power that the turbo model provides.
Cons: The seats are taking me a bit to conform to, almost Spartan like when compared soft plush Volvo seats I'm used to. Even though they are very nice leather seats, I am thinking a very soft seat cover would do nicely.
Overall review: Honest car that doesn't pretend to be something it's not. A very unique car that deserves a second look, it might just surprise you.

Tony Schwartz: The Myths of the Overworked Creative from 99% on Vimeo.
Great talk from 'renowned media guru' Tony Schwartz (no, me neither) about how it's not how much time you have, but what you do with it that counts. The obvious is stated repeatedly – it's not multitasking, it's spreading yourself too thin; giving your full attention to one thing results in better work than giving a little bit to everything; email is evil, but addictive; working instead of sleeping will not make you more productive – but all of it is worth hearing again, especially Tony's suggestion that our ability to work follows the same 90 minute cycle format as our sleep. Basically, everything he said explained my current struggle to get my head into anything like a creative space, so in future I'll be sleeping more and turning the internet off.
So, having complained that there are in fact bugger all 'ones to watch 2012′, I have been pointed in the direction of Red Kite. They release first single Montreal as a very limited edition on Dec 5, and if it's anything to go by, a large part of 2012 might well be theirs.
So, after hours of listening to 'ones to watch 2012′ tracks posted on Soundcloud by various PRs and record labels, the only one which really did it for me was Lana Del Ray's Video Games, which has been kicking around for months now. Still, it is good. Like her description of herself as 'the gangsta Nacy Sinatra' too.
Current favourite song, Breaker by Low. Can't stop playing it. Had it on constant loop for hours. Be warned though, the video will put you off cake forever.
Trailer for Gary Hustwit's new film, Urbanized. The Barbican have a week of screenings, 16-23 December 2011, tickets and info here. Big fan of Gary's work and this looks amazing. Can't wait.
Great short from the The Avant/Garde Diaries series, with blogger Peter Henderson talking about The Barbican, one of my favourite places in London.
Excellent short film about the internet and how we're all going to be nodes on a big super connected network of exciting shit in the future. Can't wait. Can I get a jetpack with that.

Growing a green businessCalifornia Baby continues to innovate and grow. They are proud that California Baby is the only complete natural baby line to make the jump from a niche market to a nationally recognized brand that is sold in top retail stores like Whole Foods, Babies R' Us and Target. California Baby works with leading raw material suppliers to create and pioneer safe, new and improved green ingredients. True to their sustainability-focused roots, they steer clear of Diethanolamine (DEA), sulfates, dyes, numbing agents, and ingredients that can trigger allergies in young ones or chemically sensitive adults, including synthetic fragrances, dairy, soy, peanuts and gluten. Their strict standards ensure that all of their products are CA Prop 65 compliant, which means they contain no carcinogens such as 1-4 Dioxane or phthalates. California Baby's essential oils are third party tested for purity.
Beyond green – go sustainableCalifornia Baby understands the anxiety that accompanies the steady stream of toxic and environmental crises in the news -- phthalates in fragrances and sippy cups, arsenic in talcum powder, pharmaceuticals in our water. That is why they've been committed to sustainable business practices from the get-go, using sustainable and biodegradable ingredients and recyclable packaging for their products. Eager to take green to the extreme, California Baby is converting all aspects of business and manufacturing processes to earth-first, zero waste, solar power and recyclable systems.
Their eco-friendly California Baby showroom, featuring such sustainable materials as cork flooring and zero or low VOC paint, serves as a learning laboratory to the public, teaching parents and others how to embrace the earth-first, natural lifestyle they've cultivated for more than 20 years—encouraging others to learn from their experience.
Spreading the loveTheir efforts to protect future generations extend beyond their Los Angeles facilities. An active member of the Organic Trade Association, California Baby serves on a task force committee to recommend organic and safe cosmetics standards in the cosmetics industry. California Baby also collaborate with leading groups and companies to initiate congressional action that will establish federal legislation demanding safe cosmetics. They believe that their mission extends far beyond creating products that are safe for children and healthy for the environment. They strive to educate and enlighten parents to the simple principles of natural living, adhering always to their founding philosophy: what's good for the environment is good for families.

California Baby No Fragrance Sunblock Stick SPF 30
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that if exposure to the sun is unavoidable and your baby is under 6 months, a non-chemical sunscreen (like ours) should be used; consult with your physician. The AAP recommends that because an infant's skin is very thin and sensitive, infants under 6 months should be kept out of the sun. California Baby No Fragrance Sunblock Stick SPF 30 is ideal for use on the face (does not sting the eyes) and body. California Baby No Fragrance Sunblock Stick SPF 30 is created especially for those who cannot tolerate fragrance. California Baby No Fragrance Sunblock Stick SPF 30 may be used everyday/year-round. California Baby No Fragrance Sunblock Stick SPF 30 contains no fragrance or scent masking agents. California Baby No Fragrance Sunblock Stick SPF 30 provides high-level protection against sunburn. California Baby No Fragrance Sunblock Stick SPF 30 is water resistant and retains effectiveness after 80 minutes of activity in water or perspiring.Pop this convenient PABA free, non-chemical, fragrance-free sunblock stick into your pocket, purse or diaper bag. The whole family will love this easy-to-use stick that gives those hot spots a boost of extra protection. California Baby's non-chemical sunblock stick employs a highly micronized, non-whitening titanium dioxide that scatters and reflects dangerous UV rays, offering UVA-UVB broad-spectrum protection. California Baby No Fragrance Sunblock Stick SPF 30 is made with a non-staining formula. California Baby No Fragrance Sunblock Stick SPF 30 glides on smoothly for easy application. California Baby No Fragrance Sunblock Stick SPF 30 may be used in combination with California Baby's SPF 30+ sunscreen lotions.Dermatologists and the American Cancer Society urge the use of sunscreen everyday and year-round.A note from Jessica, developer of California Baby®: "I have found this stick to be so convenient; it's the perfect answer if you have trouble applying a sunscreen lotion onto your child, and it takes the struggle out of touch-up applications. For excellent results, start with one of our sunscreen lotions, and then apply the stick to over-exposed or sensitive areas throughout the day. I use the stick daily on my youngest son to protect a small scar he has on his face - with one quick stroke - it's done before the complaints can start!"For Grownups:Moms, California Baby's sunblock works great under make-up because it is non-greasy and creates a nice cover-up base under foundation or powder. Winter use:
Since studies show that the risk of sunburn increases at higher altitudes, it's especially important to wear sunscreen on the slopes. Even if you stay at the same elevation all winter long, don't let winter's chill fool you, the sun is still strong and can do lots of damage to your skin. The gentle water resistant formula won't drip into your eyes and sting when you sweat. Clouded vision from runny sunscreen is annoying on the beach and on the ski slopes it can be downright dangerous.
Benefits & Features:
Tip:Wearing a hat and sunglasses are also important.
Apply as needed to overexposed areas: nose, cheeks, lips, ears, shoulders. Rub a generous and even layer over exposed areas until desired coverage is attained. Repeat throughout the day as needed. Use on children under six months only with the advice of a physician.

FARGO (KFGO-AM) - Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says white supremacist Craig Cobb and his supporters are "not the kind of people" wanted in North Dakota. But Stenehjem says protecting the legal rights of Cobb is a difficult task that must still be maintained.
Cobb and his supporters are attempting a takeover in Leith, ND by purchasing several lots. The city council is fighting back by enacting a building moratorium.
Stenehjem tells KFGO News he's quite concerned with what's been going on. "This really is unusual. I think the heightened media interest in all of it really underlines the fact that this is something that's very unusual. Frankly, these are not the kind of people that we're encouraging to come to North Dakota. We need to keep a close eye on it and make sure things don't get out of hand" Stenehjem said.
Stenehjem is providing legal and technical assistance for the city of Leith and Grant county. He says the sheriff has also been assured that his office is available to help.
