It's that time of year. Your kids will paint their faces to look like ghosts and goblins and hit the trick-or-treating route.It's time to get pick your costume and get ready to go trick-or-treating, but you can't have a bunny and a cat without a little makeup. There are two kinds of face paint, oil-based and water-based. When you're talking about children's faces, water-based paint works best because it's easy to take off and gentler on the skin."If you're using oil-based paint, the concern with that is if you leave it on too long, it can be irritating. But in addition it can make, especially teenagers, more prone to breakouts because it is oil-based it can clog the pours and make them more prone to acne breakouts," said dermatologist Dr. Ranjani Katta.While acne breakouts are not a big concern for younger children, there are plenty of other ways that makeup can cause irritation."It's not so much that their skin hasn't developed, but we're concerned about is the young child. The infants and toddlers, that they might more easily get it into their eyes or into their mouths, and they're rubbing their face a lot more and don't realize what they're doing," said Katta.After the kids head out into the neighborhood to gather all that candy, it's time to go home and take off the makeup. The water-based allows you to take it off with just soap and water. But if your child begins to itch their face after you take it off, there are ways to take care of the problem."If it's from irritation from it being left on too long, usually you're okay using some over-the-counter hydro-cortisone cream. You wouldn't want to use that for more than a couple of days, and if it still goes on, you might want to see your dermatologist about it," said Katta.It's important to read the directions before applying the makeup because some products made overseas might not contain ingredients approved by the food and drug administration.

Disowned by the Ownership Society

Most people just aren't saavy enough, cannot deal in large numbers, don't understand puts/selling-short, have much less insider/sector knowledge, etc. to really make good on the market. Given the various busts, it seems that the publicly-traded aspect is a mixed bag indeed.

Jon Mark Beilue: Gift cards will stop the insanity

Experience is a great teacher, and experience taught me to give up when trying to surprise someone like my wife with a Christmas/birthday/anniversary gift. If I'm told the store, the aisle, the table, the color, the sales associate, the brand - and it's written down - it's even money I'll get it right.

If I strike out on my own for that something that's a surprise and they like it, it's an absolute fluke if they do. Such as a very recent birthday when I bought a jewelry box from Penney's for my wife because (a) it would have been perfect on the dresser, and (b) it was the first thing I saw in a nice display when I walked in the store.

"Would it hurt your feelings if I took this back and..."

No, not at all. In fact, it just reaffirmed I should have bought a gift card in the first place so you could go and shop and take your time and find the perfect item.

Clooney delivers message on Darfur

Messenger of Peace is one of his most difficult yet, especially because he wasn't exactly allowed to deliver his message.

Clooney, the ninth U.N. peace envoy, was scheduled to address a meeting of troop-contributing nations about conditions faced by the peacekeeping force in Sudan's troubled western region.

Coach guides Spartans to victory against city rivals

To watch Bill Whitehead and Troy Graefe at their best Friday night was like having a front-row seat for a chess match.

No, it wasn't boring.

It was strategy at its best.

Whitehead, forever a tactician, worked the officials and his Greeley West team to make all of the right moves in the Spartans' 53-41 victory over Graefe's Wildcats.

Methodically -- how else would Whitehead approach anything -- the West head coach never once let Graefe see him sweat as the Spartans established play in the paint early in the second period while Greeley Central found itself helpless without much of a perimeter game to respond -- thanks largely to an improved West defense.

In the Wildcats' one-point victory over West earlier this season, it was no secret that the Wildcats had one of their best defensive games of the season and were able to take advantage of some key outside shots to send West shaking its heads.
