Small Businesses Take Fundraising Public
Companies Seek More Ways to Raise Cash After the SEC Lifts Long-Standing Ban
Rick Field posted an eye-catching orange-and-blue "FUND US" notice on his company's website Monday near an image of a jar of kosher organic dill spears. The public fundraising plea might have put his New York-based artisanal pickle business, Rick's Picks LLC, in legal trouble a week ago.
Clicking on the notice opens a direct link to the Rick Pick's fundraising page on CircleUp Network Inc., a third-party platform that connects accredited investors with small or nascent consumer-product businesses looking to raise funds.

"If I did this last week, we would have gotten a nasty letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission," says Mr. Field, a 50-year-old former TV producer at VH1. He hopes to raise a total of $1.38 million from people who put in at least $10,000 apiece, in order to boost inventories and expand his product line.
This week thousands of new and small private businesses, like Rick's Picks, launched public marketing blitzes to sell shares in their companies—a tactic that securities regulators barred more than 80 years ago to protect investors from get-rich-quick scams. On Monday, the SEC lifted that ban, allowing small private companies to publicize investment offers without having to register an initial public offering—which can be a costly and burdensome requirement for those businesses—provided the sales are limited to wealthy investors.
Mr. Field says he plans to selectively tout the investment offer on Facebook and Twitter, to reach as many potential pickle investors as possible. It's a strategy some say might backfire by chasing away serious investors, while opening the door to fraud.
The public fundraising move is a central provision of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, approved by Congress last year, which seeks to ease restrictions on small businesses raising cash to grow.
Douglas Penman, for instance, says he is planning to make T-shirts promoting investment opportunities in his San Francisco startup, Nukotoys Inc., which makes children's educational trading cards for mobile devices. He's hoping to have the T-shirts worn by skyscraper window washers, to catch the eye of wealthy executives inside. The company, launched in 2010, is looking to raise $2 million to expand its user base, he says.
As of Wednesday, 43 ventures had filed paperwork with the SEC indicating their intent to use the general solicitation rule to sell shares of their businesses to members of the public, using traditional advertising campaigns, or through social media, such as Twitter, Facebook or YouTube. The minimums sought per investor ranged from $100 for a New York state rural broadband project to $100,000 in a California high-technology company, according to SEC filings, which were reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Companies that raise capital under the new rules are required to notify the SEC within 15 days of the first sale, if they haven't done so already.
Tony Ramos, the founder of the Rural Broadband Co., a Washington-based startup, filed paperwork with regulators Monday morning. He is seeking $16 million from investors for a $23 million project to expand broadband coverage in the mid-Hudson region of New York state. To reach as many investors as possible, he has posted the offer on the company's website, along with two similar offers for projects in other rural areas. He plans to post offers on Twitter and Facebook later this week.
"It's a strategic move for us," said Mr. Ramos of filing the regulatory paperwork early. "We know this is going to be a good avenue and we wanted to get out in front, and be as transparent about it as possible," he adds. By filing early, he says, individuals who come across the company's website, and are interested in investing in the projects, can readily access company data from the SEC.
Brad McNamara is planning to encourage his customers to place investment offers on the sides of their 40-by-9-foot shipping containers, which his Boston-based startup, Freight Farms, converts into portable commercial produce gardens. The company, launched last year, sells the containers for $60,000 each and already has $500,000 in revenue, he says. By helping customers, who sell produce from the containers, to raise capital for their gardens through investment offers, "it becomes a product that can produce food and produce returns," says Mr. McNamara.
Gregory Lok, who launched an online home décor marketplace in March, says he wants to be more selective about where the company seeks investors under the rule change, by running ads on professional sites like LinkedIn. "You have to be very careful about who you bring into your company," he says, adding that beyond cash, early-stage ventures need investors who can act as mentors with strong networks and other resources to help get a fledgling business off the ground.
He says he worries that these types of investors won't be interested in working with an early-stage company that has advertised shares on Facebook, Twitter or on roadside billboards to the general public.
For now, Mr. Lok's San Francisco-based company, Joy & Revelry, is promoting its offer on AngelList, an online network that connects startups with pools of accredited investors. Until this week, AngelList only posted such offers to a limited group of registered users. But this week the online network posted offers from more than 1,500 startups, including Joy & Revelry, on its public home page—proclaiming public fundraising is here: "Tell the world you're raising money."
Other rules the SEC is considering include advance filing requirements for small businesses that want to promote offers publicly, as well as submission of all general solicitation materials to regulators.
Under the current SEC rules, business owners must verify that they're taking cash only from individuals with at least $200,000 in annual income or more than $1 million in liquid assets. Still, state securities regulators and other critics fear the rule change will lead to splashy ads by fraudsters trying to lure unsophisticated individuals into giving away their cash.
Shyp, a San Francisco logistics and shipping startup, has already benefited from the rule change. The company raised $250,000 in equity on AngelList in less than an hour on Monday, after its offer was promoted by Tim Ferriss, an influential startup investor, on his blog. Mr. Ferriss, whose blog has more than 1.4 million readers, has also invested $25,000 into the business. Monday's rapid-fire funding round quickly closed with $2.1 million raised. It was launched by the fledgling company more than two months ago, according to co-founder Kevin Gibbon.
"It was really amazing, it's a very powerful thing," Mr. Gibbon says about the new public fundraising rules. "It gives people with a big following the ability to leverage their network," he adds.
Joe Wallin, a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, says businesses that use the rule change to publicly promote equity sales would do well to file the necessary paperwork sooner, rather than later.
"There's a lot of generalized regulatory uncertainty out there right now," he says. It's easy for 15 days to go by after that company's first sale, he adds, and miss the SEC filing deadline. Under proposed rules by the SEC, businesses that miss filing deadlines can be barred from raising additional capital for a full year.

LOCKPORT – Bids will be sought in June for restoration of two of the five locks in the Flight of Five, the 19th century Erie Canal locks, a project that is expected to cost $2.62 million.
The Flight of Five is a stone version of the original wooden stairstep locks constructed when the canal opened in 1825. The stone locks were built on the original foundation in the early 1840s.
They were relegated to use as a spillway after the current steel locks opened in 1914. The restoration project involves the installation of lock gates that will open and close to demonstrate how canal craft climbed and descended the Niagara Escarpment during the canal's first nine decades of operation.
Restoring all five locks would cost an estimated $10 million, which is more than the city has on hand after years of seeking state, federal and foundation grants.
A feasibility study several years ago estimated that a fully functioning Flight of Five might lure as many as 250,000 visitors a year.
But all of this might go to waste if no one can find the locks or appreciate their importance, said Becky Burns, a member of the Lockport Locks Heritage District Committee. She and David R. Kinyon, chairman of the committee, explained to the board its plans for interpretive signage at the site.
It's become something of a running joke in Lockport that visitors can drive on the Big Bridge over the canal near the locks and never realize how close they are to the site. Because of buildings, railings and the angle of the bridge, many drivers aren't able to see the locks as they pass.
"Our asset is below grade," Burns told the Lockport Planning Board last week. The committee feels the solution is better signage, and once visitors stop, to tell them why the Flight of Five is important.
"If they're going to come here, we have to tell them the story," Burns said.
The committee hired Eisterhold & Associates of Kansas City, Mo., to design an interpretive plan. Burns wouldn't give a cost estimate.
"This is a very expensive interpretive plan, so it needs to be phased," she told the board.
Step One is a gateway at either end of Canal Street, adjoining the locks. To be built of canal stone, its general appearance is supposed to match the one in North Tonawanda's Gateway Park. The gateway would span the entire street at the east end and only the sidewalk at the west end.
Burns said its purpose is to lure foot traffic to Canal Street, a pedestrian-only street, which is the only place to access the locks on foot, via a steep concrete ramp.
Other ideas include plaques along the Canal Street railing showing what the vista looked like in 1825, and bronze statues based on an old photo of canal workers. "They're still conceptual. They're not in final design," Burns said.
Another idea is to move the demonstration model of the locks out of the Erie Canal Discovery Center a block away and place it outdoors.
"We need to interest children in what we do as well as adults," Burns said.

9/11 Plane Debris Found in Lower Manhattan
A piece of landing gear from one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center has been discovered this week wedged behind a building in Lower Manhattan, police said Friday.
The part, which police believe came from one of the two commercial airliners destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001, was discovered Wednesday by surveyors inspecting the rear of 51 Park Pl., several blocks from ground zero. The surveyors called 911 to report the debris with a "clearly visible Boeing identification number," the New York Police Department said in a statement.
Photos released by police show rusted machinery and other debris wedged between the buildings. A police official described the alley where the debris was found is about as wide as a person.
Police are treating the area between 51 Park Pl. and the building behind it, 50 Murray St., as a crime scene until the medical examiner's office evaluates the area. Authorities will then decide whether to sift the soil "for possible human remains," according to the statement.
The Park Place building attracted controversy several years ago when critics protested the plan to build an Islamic cultural center on the site.

Nate Buckley, the anti-war protester acquitted of charges stemming from a demonstration at Fountain Plaza two years ago, has filed notice that he intends to sue the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and two transit officers for wrongful arrest and battery.
Attorneys for Buckley filed a notice of claim against the authority and Officers Richard Russo and Adam Brodsky, the first step in a lawsuit.
Buckley, 27, a West Side resident, claimed in the notice that he was accosted by officers during the anti-war demonstration April 8, 2011, and "was assaulted, battered, struck, subjected to pepper spray, falsely arrested by them and taken against his will."
Buckley contends he was falsely arrested on charges of resisting arrest, trespass and obstructing governmental administration.
After a jury trial in June 2012 that ended in a mistrial because of alleged juror misconduct, two of Buckley's fellow protesters were acquitted of trespass counts.
Buffalo City Judge Joseph A. Fiorella in December dismissed the charges against Buckley "on the merits." In a subsequent decision, he held that "the NFTA officers did engage in improper conduct which is repugnant to this court's sense of justice."
Fiorella also said that as to "evidence of guilt" of Buckley, "this court found none."

Donna Micheletti's voice choked with tears as she told Dr. Phil McGraw about her daughter Gia Allemand's final moments as she tried to commit suicide on Aug. 12.
In the heartbreaking interview set to air on Dr. Phil on Tuesday, Micheletti revealed she was on the phone with her daughter, 29, as she hanged herself in her New Orleans apartment.
Micheletti believes that the Bachelor star called her because "I'm the closest person in the world to her and she didn't want to be alone when she left this world. So she wanted Mommy to be there, I guess."
"It destroys me but if it made her feel better, then that's fine," she added. "I don't mind dealing with this."
Allemand was found unconscious by her boyfriend, NBA player Ryan Anderson, who performed CPR before she was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. She died two days later.
A police report revealed that hours before she hanged herself, Allemand had argued with her boyfriend over suspicions he'd been unfaithful.
"I'm really mad that she did this for no reason," Micheletti said. "In 12 hours it would have been fine. I'm really angry."
Dr. Phil also talks to Jake Pavelka, whose season of The Bachelor Allemand appeared on.
"I've never lost anybody close to me," the reality star, 35, admitted with tears in his eyes. "Gia really understood me. We got really close after the show. We had such a special relationship. I can't tell you how lucky I feel that I knew her, but I wish it was not for such a short time, because I've never met anybody like her."

The Colorado Buffaloes have two chances to avoid the worst season in school history.
The Buffaloes (1-9, 1-6 Pac-12) are in danger of going winless at home unless they can beat Washington today or Utah next week. It�s a tall order for a team that has given up an average of 52 points over its last six games.
Finishing 0-6 at home and having the first 11-loss season in the program�s history would add to the misery.
�It would be terribly disappointing, the whole season has been terribly disappointing so far,� senior defensive lineman Will Pericak said. �That would just be the cherry on top.�
Colorado has struggled in its first two seasons in the Pac-12. Last year, Colorado finished 2-7 in the conference, including a 52-17 loss at Washington. The Buffaloes have allowed at least 30 points in nine games this season, and five times opponents have put up at least 50. Last week, Arizona beat the Buffaloes 56-31.
The blowout losses have taken a toll on them.
�I talked to the defense about pride, and that no matter how much they think about or wish or go over it, it isn�t going to change what happened on Saturday,� head coach Jon Embree said. �But they have an opportunity these next two weeks. I appealed to their pride.�
First up for the Buffaloes is bowl-eligible Washington (6-4, 3-3), which has won three in a row after a tough start to the conference season. The Huskies practice in the morning during the week so they won�t be bothered by the early start, which will be 10:30 a.m. by their body clocks.
�I�m pumped, man. I�m so excited to get up, eat breakfast and go to the stadium and play the game,� Washington coach Steve Sarkisian said. �Maybe these morning practices will finally pay off for us here the last couple weeks.�
The Huskies have turned things around since blowout losses at Oregon and Arizona sandwiched around a close setback against USC. In last week�s 34-15 win over Utah, quarterback Keith Price threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns, and Bishop Sankey had 156 yards rushing and two scores.
Although Arizona rushed for 438 yards against Colorado, Sarkisian won�t change his offense against the Buffaloes.
�We�re not going to try and reinvent the wheel; we�re not going to become Arizona and run Arizona�s offense this week,� he said.
Unlike the Huskies, the Buffaloes aren�t making postseason plans. Colorado has not played in a bowl in four years, and Embree, in his second season as head coach, is trying to get the Buffaloes back to respectability after years of struggle.
He can take comfort in what happened to the Colorado program after first-year coach Bill McCartney went 1-10 in 1984. Five years later, the Buffaloes were undefeated and playing for a national title, and a year later they shared the crown.
Colorado isn�t worried about championships this year. The only goal is to win a home game and avoid infamy.
�It�s really important to send off this year on a good note, and the best note is winning a home game,� David Bakhtiari said.

Perfectly plumped lips, instantly. (No pain. No waiting. No kidding.)
The next generation of lip plumpers has arrived. LipFusion is moisturizing treatment gloss infused with revolutionary technology to plump lips instantly - no kidding. Tiny, dehydrated, marine collagen microspheres are instantly absorbed by the lips, and seek out the body's natural moisture. As soon as the spheres become re-hydrated, they plump and hold onto the moisture they've collected, creating a mild "swelling" of the lip tissue. The result is fuller, smoother, perfectly plumped lips in seconds. Results can last for up to 48 hours.
*Hydration of the surface of the skin.

Cubs Bats Alive & Well at the Wind, Not So Much on the Jack
Yasiel Balaguert mashed a two-run home run to key a three-run 3rd, Jeffrey Baez belted a solo HR, Trevor Gretzky collected an RBI double and two singles and scored three runs, Carlos Penalver singled, doubled, walked, stole a base, and scored two runs, Reggie Golden singled twice, walked, drove-in a run, and scored two more, and Lance Rymel doubled and walked and drove-in three runs, as one squad of Cubs throttled one squad of Diamondbacks 10-2 on Whirlwind Field, and Ben Eckels and three relievers combined to throw a three-hitter with ten strikeouts and Damion Smith laced a bases-loaded three-run double, as the other squad of D'backs defeated the other squad of Cubs 4-1 on Jackrabbit Field, in a Cactus League Extended Spring Training doubleheader played this morning at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick Resort east of Scottsdale, AZ.
The game on Whirlwind Field was called by mutual agreement in the middle of the 9th inning, and the game on Jackrabbit Field was called by mutual agreement in the middle of the 8th.
The Cubs got outstanding work from their two starting pitchers today. RHP James Pugliese fired three innings of one-hit shutout ball (80% strikes) with five strikeouts on Whirlwind Field, and 19-year old Dominican RHP Alexander Santana tossed three innings of no-run/no-hit ball on Jackrabbit Field, retiring nine of the ten men he faced (the only blemish being an HBP).
In EXST Cubs roster news, INF David Bote and C-DH Carlos Escobar have been moved up to Kane County.
Bote was hitting 219/324/344 in 12 Cactus League EXST games (37 PA), with two triples, one SB (three CS), and 5/8 BB/K. He has played 2B, SS, and 3B for the EXST Cubs, and this is the second time he has been moved up to a full-season club since the end of Minor League Camp (he was with the Daytona Cubs for about a week last month when Tim Saunders was on the DL). The 20-year old Bote was the Cubs 18th round pick in the 2012 June Draft out of Neosho County CC.
The Cubs 2012 15th round draft pick out of the U. of Nevada, Escobar was sidelined with an ankle injury during Minor League Camp and for the first three weeks of Extended Spring Training. But he hit 462/462/846 in five Cactus League EXST games (13 PA) since returning to action, and he hammered two home runs over a period of three days last week (one in an intrasquad game at Fitch Park, and then a tape measure shot last Saturday at Maryvale). Escobar had a 25% CS in Cactus League EXST games, and he also picked one runner off base.

NOTE: It wasn't a Cactus League Extended Spring Training game, but the Cubs did play an intrasquad game yesterday (Thursday) morning at Fitch Park Field #4.
Albert Almora played five innings (four innings in CF) for Squad "A" and batted three times, leading-off the top of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th innings, He reached base on an E-6 (a throwing error on what should have been a routine 6-3 GO) in his first AB, flied out to RF his 2nd time up, and reached base on an infield single (ball grounded through the box, nice play to even get to the ball by SS Frandy de la Rosa) in his 3rd and final PA. He then stole 2nd base, and scored on a HR.
Jose Rosario got the start for Squad "A" and worked five innings (80 pitches), allowing three runs on five hits (three singles, a double, and a two-run HR). Rosario did not walk anyone (although he did hit a batter), and he struck out seven. Rosario is stretched-out enough to be moved-up to Kane County or Daytona if the Cubs wish to do that. although he has not pitched particularly well so far.
Reggie Golden and Jesse Hodges each smacked a two-run HR, and Xavier Batista, Jacob Rogers, and Lance Rymel belted RBI doubles.
Neftali Rosario left the game after suffering what appeared to be an ankle or foot injury while running the bases in his one and only AB (F-8). He walked (limped) to the clubhouse under his own power, not needing any assistance from man or golf cart to get there.
Here is the box score from the intrasquad game:

Wittenmyer article:
Exiled third baseman Ian Stewart — who cleared waivers and was outrighted off the 40-man roster Wednesday — was out of the Class AAA Iowa starting lineup for the sixth straight game Thursday. But he came off the bench to pinch-hit in the ninth and flied out, making him 4-for-45 since his minor-league rehab assignment-turned-option at Iowa.
The Cubs have buried him on the minor-league bench. And after failing to get another team to claim him on waivers, they appear to be trying to trade him for whatever savings they can get off his $2 million salary.

"Scott Feldman is a candidate to lose his rotation spot when Matt Garza (lat) returns from the disabled list.
The Cubs plan to go with a six-man rotation initially, but it's only a matter of time before Feldman or Carlos Villanueva is moved to the bullpen. Jeff Samardzija, Travis Wood, and Edwin Jackson are all locked into rotation spots."

watching heyward attempt to hit a fastball is alarming. he's doing bad things with stuff he should be nailing...weak popups, grounders, late swing fouls...
it's going to be next to impossible to do worse than this season, but hopefully he can at least hit a fastball with authority next year.
He's an incredible defender, base-runner and takes great AB's. A .265 BABIP is highly likely to improve next year. That being said, his power numbers are down too which is certainly concerning so I'd certainly hedge my bets with him next year, but it would be surprising if this is his new normal.
I have no deep level of expertise or analysis here, but I still like Jason Heyward. I truly wish his bat was better, but I love the defense and the feel-good nature of his signing. I might be naive, but I think his offense will improve. I'm glad he's here, and I hope he doesn't make me regret saying that!

No concert is utterly perfect but if there's a benchmark for today's rock shows look no further than Green Day.
The California punk rock band didn't disappoint and made fans feel they got their money's worth and more with a spectacular three-hour non-stop marathon of favorites at Toronto's Molson Canadian Amphitheatre Wednesday night.
Still touring behind 21st Century Breakdown, Green Day brought out all the stops - and pyrotechnics galore - when not bringing a myriad of fans onstage to dance, sing lead or be saved by the preacher/singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong.
Now a six-piece

With many local police departments and the 911 Call Center upgrading their radio equipment to a digital format, the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society is rather concerned. The humane society's police officers have "ancient" radios that "can't be upgraded," said Paul Gottshall, an officer with the organization, and without proper equipment, they will soon be unable to receive calls for emergency situations involving animals.
"Before, we got other departments' 'hand-me-downs,'" he said. "We can't do that now."
To remedy the situation, the humane society will be holding a Chili Fest and Wings fundraising event from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday at the Bavarian Aid Society, 112 S. 13th St. in Altoona. Tickets to the cookoff competition are $10 in advance and $15 at the door, with all proceeds going to the purchase of digital radios.

"We need to get new radios," said Jill Brubaker Reigh, director of outreach and marketing for the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society. "With everybody else in the county going digital, we need to be ready to go digital. There will be a lot of animals that suffer and a lot of people that suffer."
The humane society has held the Chili Fest "three or four times before, but we haven't had it for three years," Reigh said, adding that it only runs this fundraiser when there is a particular need, such as the radios.
This will be the first time the organization has featured a chicken wing competition alongside the chili cookoff.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Central Pennsylvania Humane Society's Chili Fest and Wings
When: 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday
Where: Bavarian Aid Society, 112 S. 13th St., Altoona
Tickets: $10 in advance or $15 at the door ($10 for veterans, EMS, fire and police). For tickets, contact CPHS police officers Joe Varner or Paul Gottshall at 942-3780 or at email@example.com.
"They thought it would be an extra bit of fun," Reigh said. "It's a nice combination; it makes it a little jazzier."
The night will feature chili from Marzoni's of Duncansville; Jack's Grubb Shack, Pizza Factory, the Altoona Fire Department and Greenwood Steak House of Altoona and Jim Ott, the Duncansville police chief. Participating in the wing competition will be Mama Randazzo's, Jack's Grubb Shack, AJ's Front Street Deli, the Belmar Hotel, and Mike Daversa, the Altoona Police Department K-9 officer, and Irvin's on Main of Bellwood.
Two celebrity contestants, WTAJ-TV's Joe Murgo and Carolyn Donaldson, also will toss their hats into the chili ring.
The contestants will cook at home or at the restaurant, Reigh said, and bring their entries to the Bavarian Aid Society. The patrons can choose what they want to taste.
Celebrity judges for the event will include Jay Randyll of Rocky 104.9 FM, Pete Moss from Froggy 98.1 FM, Dawn Pellas of "Central PA Live," Doug Dibert and Hooters Girls Carly Nebelski and Sharon Richardson. Steve "Frogman" Kelsey from Froggy 98.1 FM and Tommy Edwards from Rocky 104.9 FM will serve as the evening's masters of ceremony.
Trophies will be awarded for the top three respective chili and wing recipes, with one People's Choice award winner.
Entertainment will be provided by DJ "The Music Jar," and there will be football shown on a big-screen television.
"It's going to be an all-around good time, benefiting our department," Gottshall said.
Reigh agreed.
"[Guests] can expect to have a really good time with lots of other people who have a passion and compassion for animals and like chili and wings," she said. "They can make a difference here at the humane society. It will be a great benefit to the community and to the animals."
Mirror staff writer Cory Dobrowolsky can be reached at 946-7428.

For lovers of Design & Lifestyle
In 1832, the Mountain Lodge Faulhorn was the Europe's highest hotel at an altitude of 2681 m.a.s.l. It was already known to travelogue authors at the beginning of the 19th century who praised the seemingly endless views from atop the peak of Mt. Faulhorn. Then the hotel also sported a table d'hote, as was common in finer establishments of the day.
The rooms have hardly changed since the time it opened but the restaurant has become a cozier place to enjoy some hearty food. The view, of course, has not changed at all: to the North Lakes Brienz and Thun, the Mittelland, Jura, and the French Vosges. The blood-red sundown seems to dip France into fire and in the morning, the Finsteraarhorn, Eiger, and the Jungfrau seem to have an orange spotlight on them as they wake up to another day. The Mountain Lodge Faulhorn is a bit of an insider's tip because one has to hike up for 2 1/2 hours in order to get there but it is nonetheless very popular. Once you have been there, you will understand why.
In summer, reservations for individual room / dormitory rooms mandatory since the hotel is often booked out far in advance.

Perfection :-)
Review By:Jen on 3/21/2016
This is the first tinted lip balm AND the first sunscreen lip balm I've actually liked. Softens lips, stays off teeth, and comes in lovely colors. The shades are frosty and shimmery, but they leave behind no chalky residue or obvious white-cast; the opalescence appears deliberate. The formula is smooth and supple, not caky or flaky. I can even apply these without a mirror, and no mess. Regarding those negligible doses of lip product that inevitably wind up inside the mouth: the taste is not half bad. And it smells nice. Finally a lip color that nourishes and protects and looks great doing it!
These are my favorite lip products and colors. ...
Review By:Linda on 2/8/2016
I recommend this product because the colors look nicer and more natural than Burt's Bees, I also dislike the peppermint smell/taste of Burt's Bees, so once again Juice Beauty comes out the winner. I like the choice of colors. I often use a little in the middle of my lips and it gives me a fresher/younger look. Great product for a great price- try them.

I love these lip moisturizers! Add moisture and just enough color that looks natural!
Perfect for sunny days
Review By:Susie on 6/13/2015
Love these balms. They smell good and are good for you. Highly recommended!
Fun and important
Review By:Lauren on 6/12/2015
I've had these for years which is great. I use them often. They are very fun to use with the three colors to choose from. They are a definite need in these hot summer days.
Review By:Tammi on 6/11/2015
These provide a hint of color, moisturize and have SPF. What more could you want in a fabulous lip balm? Another slam dunk from Juice Beauty!
SPF 8 Lip Moisturizers
Review By:Gay Thompson on 6/11/2015
Love these for my lips. Leaves them soft and moisturized. Colors subtle, which I like.
Little magic wands!
Review By:Sarah on 9/18/2014
Best lip moisturizer ever! They are literally little magic wands for your lips! You wave them over your lips and they instantly moisturize and soothe dry lips!
Just great!
Review By:Emi on 9/17/2014
These lip moisturizers are fantastic! They keep my lips smooth, have a little bit color, last long and are not sticky. Exactly what I was looking for!
A triple bonus lip moisturizer. A must have!
Review By:Anita on 9/8/2014
This lip moisturizer trio has a triple bonus because: 1) It's a great "go to" lip color, in a hurry. 2) It fixes your chapped lips super fast and 3) It protects them with sunscreen SPF8. I feel good putting GF organic product on my lips everyday. I like to mix the 3 colors in different combinations to make different shades too. It's just like lipstick, but it's easier to put on when your just looking to freshen up quickly when running errands or after lunch. Fun!
Not for me
Review By:Karo on 8/1/2014
I don't have dry lips, but wanted an SPF with tint for summer. This stuff (all three - clear, joyful, playful) dried out my lips and made them crack & peel. I don't have any known allergies to the ingredients. The colors were nice, but it just wasn't meant to be I guess!
Review By:mcp on 1/31/2014
I have had a hard time finding a chapstick that I really like, that stays on a long time, and that really feels natural, until now. These wonderful tinted moisturizers are fantastic! They are lightweight, stay on well, and I barely notice it's there. They also smell great! I am definitely stocking up on these!
Lip Essential - Must Have!
Review By:Susan on 1/30/2014
I have trouble with dry chapped peeling lips. I use the clear every night before bed and the tinted shades during the day. My lips have healed, looking healthy and no more peeling dry skin! Dry chapped looks made me look older than I am. Being in Florida and in the sun often having a lip product with SPF is necessary. I love that it is light and not waxy and heavy like other products I've tried.
Juicy Touch
Review By:Rose on 1/30/2014
This lip moisturizer is luscious and very well at its moisturizing. My favorite color would have to be Playful, because it adds a juicy touch to my lips, in color, texture, and taste. Its nice to know what I'm putting on my skin, and that its safe for the environment and me. Thank you JuiceBeauty!
In Love!
Review By:Melisa on 1/30/2014
I received this as a gift and couldn't be happier. I absolutely love the scent and the feel of the moisturizer. It is not at all oily like I have found other "organic" lip moisturizers to be.
pretty color!
Review By:april on 1/30/2014
I received the Playful in my stocking from Santa. I usually only wear clear lip balms, never any lipstick. I was hesitant because of the dark color, but I love it! It isn't too dark and it has a pretty shimmer to it. Just right when I want a hint of color.
excellent colors & spf
Review By:Glenna on 1/21/2014
I love these because I wanted an SPF chapstick for days I am outside a lot, but I don't want to be ingesting small bits of harmful chemicals that are found in some chapsticks, so buying these from Juice Beauty was a must. Luckily, the colors are also great, I love the shimmery effect of them, and the red is a perfect red.
Great SPF lipbalm
Review By:Yovina on 1/13/2014
I like the original one. it's my daily SPF lipbalm. Great for summer, great scent.
Great for little gifts too!
Great Lip Set
Review By:Melissa on 1/12/2014
I really love this trio. The clear is the best chapstick I have ever found and it leaves my lips feeling velvety. My boyfriend loves to use it too! Joyful is a nice, light pink with a hint of shimmer and Playful is a nice berry color. They are very moisturizing as well, and the tint lasts a good amount of time for a tinted balm. Best part? I don't feel bad at all about ingesting the ingredients in this balm!
A Real Lip-Changer!
Review By:Shannon on 1/10/2014
I've been through so many lip products before Juice and it always seems as though they only temporarily soften my lips. Then came these lip moisturizers and my search for the perfect lip product is over! They truly moisturize your lips - not just give it a quick fix. I love the color of the Playful one and my daughter uses Joyful. I pack the Clear one in my gym bag, for when I don't want that extra boost of color. The best part - I trust the ingredients in them as opposed to other lip products you get a the store. I highly recommend this product!
Best Lip Balm Ever!
Review By:Laura on 1/10/2014
The best lip balm I've ever used. Makes my lips more healthy, moisturizes so well, and my lips have become more resistant to chapping and peeling. Love it!
Review By:Megan on 1/10/2014
I was disappointed in these. Personally, I think they smell kinda weird and feel weird on. The color is slightly frosted looking. They're better than nothing on my lips but I won't be buying them again.
Great for me and my husband!
Review By:Lindsey on 11/15/2013
I really like this product and so does my husband! The only issue is that there is only one clear tube and we go through it much quicker than I can get through the two colors. Please consider selling the clear separately! Otherwise I love these lip moisturizers and think you will too!
A year-round must
Review By:Stacie on 10/31/2013
I keep Playful in my purse. My husband keeps the original in his pocket. Joyful is included into my night routine, and goes to bed with me. Joyful is too light for my lips to wear it anywhere else. It looks great on my sister's full, pale pink puckers, so occasionally I will donate it to her make-up bag. This set is an excellent gift for any lady in your life.
Great product
Review By:Tiffany on 12/5/2011
Playful has a great taste and subtle color. I put a dab of lip gloss over it if I want to give it a sultry look.
finally, no chapped lips!
Review By:jg on 12/1/2010
i have tried EVERY natural chapstick on the market and they all make my lips worse! I bought this trio from Whole Foods with every intention of returning it after assuming it would perform like the others, but I was pleasantly surprised at how great they each feel and how natural the tints are! it's been impossible for me to find a) a natural chapstick that works and b) a natural lip color that actually looks natural and does not accentuate my chapped lips. and they smell good too! these are simply the best, i am so thankful for juicebeauty :)
Review By:Stepheny on 6/22/2010
These are perfect! Moisturizing, and not sticky at all. Playful and Joyful have just the right amount of tint, and the natural SPF is great too! Will definitely buy these again, and get them as gifts, and recommend them to others!

Review By:Crystal on 6/4/2010
In the eternal search for the right lipstick or lip moisturizer, I think Juice Beauty has figured out how to combine 2 in one for a very atrractive, nourishing lip cover. And these are organic, with many nutrients. The first time I used one of these, I knew this product was the best of the best.

Review By:BabblingBrooke on 3/25/2010
I love Juice Beauty's lip balm trio. They are all smooth and soft (something I have trouble finding in lip balms with SPF) and they smell great. I especially love Joyful :) Joyful and Playful have a hint of mineral tint which looks great and very natural. I love this trio. I wrote a full review here: http://caracita.blogspot.com/2010/03/juice-beauty-spf-8-lip-trio-review.html
Review By:KL on 3/11/2010
These are fantastic because they not only moisturize, but they also add a hint of color that is very natural looking at the same time. Not greasy, and wonderfully natural with spf 8. What else could you want in a lip balm that adds color? Well worth the price.

Most West Virginians do not understand Obamacare, the national health insurance program that affects all of us. That is because the government has done a lousy job of explaining it, as the state official who must oversee Obamacare has said.
Jeremiah Samples, assistant secretary of the state Department of Health and Human Resources, told The Associated Press "low public understanding" of Obamacare has been a problem. "This is a federal law and it is the responsibility of the feds to fulfill this mission -and for the most part, this effort has been a failure," Samples wrote in an email message to the AP.
Every American is required by Obamacare to have government-approved health insurance by Jan. 1 or pay a stiff new tax of up to 1 percent of the person's income or $95, whichever is higher.
Many people will have to obtain insurance through new state exchanges. Enrollment begins today. Yet if you were hoping to plan in advance, you were disappointed. The government website providing information on the exchanges was not fully up and running last week. For many people, including small businesses and those who speak Spanish, it will be weeks until the information is available.
About 245,000 West Virginians do not have health insurance. But Obamacare is such a bad - and badly explained - deal that state officials expect no more than one-fourth of them to sign up through the exchange.
Clearly, Obamacare is not ready to roll.
Conservatives in the House of Representatives, recognizing the peril of launching a program that isn't ready to go, approved a bill during the weekend that would have delayed some Obamacare provisions for one year. It also would have provided funds to avoid a "government shutdown" today.
President Barack Obama refused to go along. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., vowed the Senate would not accept the measure, even if it meant shutting down the government.
Obama, Reid and other liberals will blame Republicans for the "shutdown." But, again, it could have been avoided if the Senate would have simply gone along with a one-year delay in a program that may not even be fully ready to implement then.
Most Americans do not favor Obamacare, according to public opinion polls. Yet the liberals - having allowed big business and a few other cronies to delay complying - will not give American families the same break. That isn't health care reform. It's a health care dictatorship.

For the past couple of weeks, reports have been circulating on French and Belgium sites of an upcoming film called "Moonwalkers," with Ron Perlman, Rupert Grint and Robert Sheehan (Cherrybomb!) set to star.
While Rupert is definitely attached to the film, his involvement is not yet finalized.
"Moonwalkers" (or "Moonwalk," as we've seen on some sites) is from director Antoine Bardou-Jacquet and is expected to begin filming mid-May in Belgium.
Summary from the production company:
July 1969. Tom Kidman (Perlman), a CIA special agent, is sent to London to find Stanley Kubrick and convince him to film a fake moon landing in case the Apollo mission failed. He dosen't find Kubrick, but, in his place, Jonny, manager of a seedy rock band. Jonny is Kidman's worst nightmare. Kidman is Jonny's nightmare, too. They have no choice but to work together to accomplish their mission, save their lives and implement the biggest scam of all time.

Like many twenty-something gamers, I distinctly remember the release of Halo: Combat Evolved. Though I'm ashamed to admit it now, I was sceptical of the series at the start. After a few minutes of the game's opening level, I was ready to dismiss it as little more than empty hype and go back to playing Counter-Strike on the PC. Though it's taken me a few years to realise it, I was wrong about Halo.
I was definitely in the minority at that point, however, and by 2004's Halo 2 the quality and importance of the original game was firmly cast into gaming canon, but topping the original's mammoth success with the sequel would prove problematic. Bungie had gone from a cult developer with the privilege of time to one with a strict development schedule, the pedigree of a critical hit, and weight of an entire platform resting on its continued success.
It was never going to end happily, and Halo 2 will always be remembered for two things. The first, the one quickly cited by its naysayers, is its unforgivably dire ending, which closes on an unsatisfying cliff-hanger in the middle of a pivotal sequence. "The ending of Halo 2 is Halo 3", jokes Bungie cinematic director Joseph Staten during a Halo Fest panel before being corrected by O'Donnell, who says he's stored away Halo 2's actual ending so it's never seen or heard by anybody.
Where the campaign faltered, however, the multiplayer shone. Bungie's second Halo would become Xbox LIVE's poster child for over three years - until Halo 3 launched in 2007. Halo 2 popularised online gaming, introduced it to a whole new generation, and offered an enormously respectful multiplayer experience to boot. In some circles of the mainstream media, "Halo" and "multiplayer" were virtually interchangeable terms for years.
The second game's weak resolution obviously stung Bungie, and the studio has made an obvious effort to up their storytelling with each subsequent title - Halo 3, Halo: ODST and eventually in last year's Halo: Reach.
"I think there was a time in Bungie's history where we weren't all storytellers," says Staten. "I think there was a big disagreement in Halo 1 about how important story really was. There were lots of people who thought we didn't need a game with a story in it, we just needed to ship a fun game and the story was kind of a pain in the ass, actually. I think over the years we've all realised the importance of not just telling a story but creating a real living world".
Few games do a better job of crafting a sense of place than Bungie's Halo games, notably Halo: Reach, which not only conjures up a beautiful living world, but a dying one a couple of hours later. Crafting worlds and fleshing out environments is perhaps Bungie's greatest narrative talent, and it's something the team (and underlying technology) accomplish far more successfully than, say, subtle characterisation.
Whether it's due to its single or multiplayer triumphs - or both - Bungie has clearly created worlds worth exploring, and enjoyed a sizable community of adoring fans as a reward. But few developers have ever seemed to have reciprocated in the same way as Bungie, with the team revelling and nurturing their neighbourhoods of fans with such passion and zeal; the team has been entertaining its community long before it became an industry buzzword a couple of years ago. Services like Call of Duty: Elite and Battlelog currently take up their fair share of column inches, but all current developers will have used Bungie's pioneering work over the last decade as a source of inspiration for their own respective projects.

The following is a very simple at-home assessment you can do yourself. Report any problems to your veterinarian.
General Appearance: Watch your cat walk around. Note any limping, check weight status. (Is she gaining or losing weight?) Is she alert? Is her disposition normal?
Eyes: Any discharge, redness or inflammation? Any cloudiness? Have you noticed any signs of sight impairment such as not seeing toys, bumping into things?
Nose: Any nasal discharge? Is her
breathing congested? If so, she may have an upper respiratory infection. See your veterinarian.
Mouth and Throat: Lift up the lips and look at the gums. Are they inflamed? Are any teeth broken or missing? Any tartar buildup on the teeth? Any facial swelling? Any swelling on the throat? A regular dental hygiene program can really make a difference.
Abdomen: Run your hands over your
cat's abdomen. Is she in pain? Does the abdomen seem distended? Here's another opportunity to check weight status. Any unusual lumps or bumps? Is your cat using the litter box regularly and normally?
Neck and Spine: Run your hands
down her back from the neck to the end of the tail. Any obvious pain? Any obvious limitations of movement? Does your cat have difficulty jumping to her favorite Perch? If you think your cat has neck and spinal
problems, contact your veterinarian.
Skin and Coat: Is your cat grooming herself properly? If she has long hair, are you helping prevent mats or dander buildup by brushing her? Is there any hair loss? Is the skin dry or greasy? Does she have external parasites like fleas? Note any lumps and bumps on the skin. Dry skin and coat can be alleviated with an Omega-3 fatty acid enriched product.
Note: To ensure your cat gets the above nutrients, feed a premium cat food.
Drs. Foster & Smith Signature Series Cat and Kitten foods contain ideal levels of these required nutrients in a feline palate-pleasing kibble.

The federal Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act will dramatically improve the lives of cancer patients. Patients who previously could not afford these treatments will be able to access their life‐saving effects. It will also make cancer treatments more practical for patients living in rural and underserved areas by reducing the need to drive long distances for a nurse or doctor to administer treatment.
The Patients Equal Access Coalition Applauds a New Bill to Improve Access to Oral Cancer Drugs
Washington, DC, May 2, 2013--The Patients Equal Access Coalition (PEAC) commends Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26th District) on the introduction of the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act, H.R. 1801 on April 26. This bill is a critical step toward improving access to anticancer treatments by requiring insurance companies to cover patient-administered and physician-administered anticancer drugs at the same cost to patients.
As the science surrounding cancer treatment continues to improve, the number of chemotherapy drugs that can be self-administered by patients continues to grow. In some cases, they may be the only drug proven to treat a specific type of cancer.
To date, insurance coverage policies for these drugs have not kept up with scientific advancement. Patients who rely on self-injectables or chemotherapy pills find themselves spending as much as $50,000 a year out of pocket because they receive the drugs from a pharmacy rather than in a doctor's office.
"For patients living with cancer across the country, this bill will mean one less thing to worry about. They will no longer have to decide between the best treatment and financial stability, and can focus on what really matters: beating their cancer," said Meghan Buzby, Director of U.S. Advocacy for the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF). The IMF leads the coalition of organizations representing patients, health care professionals, care centers, and industry.
The legislation will benefit thousands of cancer patients across the country, including Patrick Dee of Knoxville, Tenn., a patient and advocate with the National Brain Tumor Society, who said, "Oral chemotherapy patients like me need this legislation. I don't have a choice. I must have access to oral chemotherapy in order to battle a brain tumor. Being able to take oral chemotherapy right at home also helps me take fewer sick days from work."
"As providers, we are often forced to choose between the best treatment for patients, and what they can afford. This bill would eliminate the cost difference between self-administered and physician- or clinic-administered cancer drugs, and allow physicians to prescribe the most appropriate chemotherapy for the patient," said Niesha Griffith, a hematology/oncology pharmacist and president of the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association.
The heavy financial burden often also forces patients to skip doses to save money, which impacts the drugs' effectiveness and puts the patients' lives at greater risk. "Part of our job is to make sure that patients are taking their medications as prescribed. However, due to the costs of some oral and self injectable chemotherapy, our patients cannot always comply. This bill would make these medications more accessible and improve the efficacy of the treatment," Griffith said.
The Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act will dramatically improve the lives of cancer patients. Patients who previously could not afford these treatments will be able to access their life-saving effects. It will also make cancer treatments more practical for patients living in rural and underserved areas by reducing the need to drive long distances for a nurse or doctor to administer treatment.
"Restricting access to medication that is the best and, often, only viable treatment option for cancer patients is a practice that makes sense neither medically nor financially," said Dr. Donald Trump, president and CEO of Roswell Park Cancer Institute. "Many of the emerging and most effective cancer therapies are available only in an oral form; our payment systems need to keep pace with innovation."
To date, 23 states have passed similar laws to increase access to these life-saving drugs. To expand this to all cancer patients in the country, we need a federal law that sets a standard across all states so that all cancer patients can access both physician and patient administered chemotherapy.
PEAC thanks Congressman Higgins on his leadership and urges Congress to pass the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act.

The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) applauds Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear for signing HB 126 (The Cancer Treatment Modernization Act) into law. The bill requires health plans regulated by the state that provide coverage for IV and oral anticancer treatments- to not exceed $100 copayment or coinsurance for a 30-day supply of orally administered anticancer treatment.
U.S. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) took a key step toward ensuring access to the best cancer treatments for patients across the country by unveiling a bipartisan bill to end the unfair practice of allowing insurance companies to charge more for certain chemotherapy drugs.

IMF advocate Tom Chellius and National State Affairs Consultant Zina Cary testified this week at a hearing held by the Wisconsin State Senate Insurance & Housing Committee in support of Senate Bill 300 (Cancer Treatment Fairness Act). The bill would require insurers in Wisconsin to cover oral anticancer therapies at rate equal to intravenous, or IV, treatments. Joining the IMF in the packed hearing room were members of the Wisconsin Coalition for Cancer Treatment Access (WCCTA) and the bill's legislative champions, State Senator Alberta Darling and State Representative Pat Strachota.

LISBON - An agreement has been reached allowing Chesapeake Exploration to develop a well site on a dairy farm that straddles Columbiana and Carroll counties, but the company is prohibited from doing any drilling until a lawsuit is resolved.
The agreement was reached in response to a request for a preliminary injunction sought by Roger, Carolyn, James and Bruce Starkey as part of their lawsuit against Patriot Energy Partners of Lisbon, PEP Leasing of Lisbon, Andrew and Thomas Blocksom of Lisbon and Robert Dickey of Lisbon.
The lawsuit filed in June in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court alleges the defendants are all involved in some manner with Patriot Energy and/or helped secure mineral rights leases from the Starkeys on behalf of Patriot Energy. Also named as defendants were Chesapeake and several other energy companies that may have an interest in the lease.
The Starkey farm is located near Mechanicstown, and they alleged Patriot Energy and its representatives engaged in questionable business practices to obtain the lease for only a fraction of what they were really worth and then sold the leases to other companies for significantly more money.
The Starkeys were seeking an injunction to prevent the Blocksoms and Dickey from notarizing and assigning any more leases in which they have an interest and that the lease agreement with Patriot Energy should be voided. More than $1 million in damages is being sought.
The judge met with the attorneys on June 29, and they came up with the agreement that allowed Chesapeake to proceed with developing the well site and pad, but the company was prohibited from drilling pending the outcome of the lawsuit.
As part of the permanent injunction, Chesapeake will build a road to allow the Starkeys' farm equipment to get around the drilling pad.
The case is scheduled for trial Sept. 5.
