Nitrous oxide (N2O) is primarily produced by the microbially-mediated nitrification and denitrification processes in soils. It is influenced by a suite of climate (i.e. temperature and rainfall) and soil (physical and chemical) variables, interacting soil and plant nitrogen (N) transformations (either competing or supplying substrates) as well as land management practices. It is not surprising that N2O emissions are highly variable both spatially and temporally. Computer simulation models, which can integrate all of these variables, are required for the complex task of providing quantitative determinations of N2O emissions. Numerous simulation models have been developed to predict N2O production. Each model has its own philosophy in constructing simulation components as well as performance strengths. The models range from those that attempt to comprehensively simulate all soil processes to more empirical approaches requiring minimal input data. These N2O simulation models can be classified into three categories: laboratory, field and regional/global levels. Process-based field-scale N2O simulation models, which simulate whole agroecosystems and can be used to develop N2O mitigation measures, are the most widely used. The current challenge is how to scale up the relatively more robust field-scale model to catchment, regional and national scales. This paper reviews the development history, main construction components, strengths, limitations and applications of N2O emissions models, which have been published in the literature. The three scale levels are considered and the current knowledge gaps and challenges in modelling N2O emissions from soils are discussed.

So far the film has raised $7,121 of the required $23,200 with twenty-one days to go. For more information, go here.
-- Adam Cole recently spoke with Kayfabe Wrestling Radio about his start in the business, his Ring of Honor work and more. Check out the highlights:
On how he became interested in pro wrestling: "What happened was, I grew up in a great family but also in a very conservative area; I had very loving parents and a great younger brother. Right when I was growing up, right in that 9-10 (years old) age, that was when pro wrestling, as a whole, was transitioning into that Attitude Era, where wrestling was becoming more sexual and more violent, so my parents never really gave me the opportunity to watch it. However, when my parents split up when I was 9 years old, I started taking karate lessons and I was just enamored by the entire thing; I really looked up to my instructor and looked to him as a father figure. I would get there early and I would stay there late just because I loved it so much, it was a Monday through Friday kind of deal. And I'll never forget, one day I got there early and he was running on the treadmill watching a taped RAW from the night before, where Kane and Stone Cold Steve Austin were putting Paul Bearer in a sewer; that was my first wrestling memory. But my instructor looked at me and said 'Oh, you watch pro wrestling?' and I said 'Yeah, all the time' but in reality I'd never seen it before; I just wanted to fit in with him so badly. So then he shared with me 'Well I have Wrestlemania 15 taped; it was in Philadelphia this year. You can borrow it if you want, you just need a written note from your parents.' So I went home and bagged her to let me borrow his tape, and I guess she figured if a karate instructor is teaching young kids about discipline, honor and respect, that pro wrestling couldn't be that bad. So, she let me borrow the tape and the first time I saw Stone Cold Steve Austin versus the Rock, I was just hooked."
On how he became a part of Ring of Honor: "At this point, I'd been training pretty heavily and wrestling heavily at CZW and I started working a little bit for Gabe Sapolsky's Dragon Gate USA and EVOLVE promotion and, at the same time, I had started going to Ring of Honor shows, and at this point, I was just helping set up the ring and tear down the ring, just hoping for an opportunity. Eventually, I got some dark match opportunities and I did dark matches for about a solid year, and I remember each and every time I would have a match, I would come to the back and ask Adam Pierce how I did and he'd say 'Yep, good job' and that would be it; no opportunity to wrestle on television or anything like that. So I started thinking 'I need to give him different; something to give him a reason to want to invest in me. So, I remember I decided that I was going to send him an e-mail and send him some promos of mine, some heel promos, and he really enjoyed the promos. So, for my next dark "opportunity", he wanted me to go into the ring and cut an in-ring promo, that was it.; I was supposed to come out, before the show, cut a promo and leave. And as Adam Pierce was watching it, Jim Cornette also happened to be watching it and both of them really, really enjoyed it. When I got to the back, they said they enjoyed what they saw, and I was offered a contract right from there."
On his favorite tag team to face in Ring of Honor: "Oh man, that is so, so tough to say. I really take this very seriously when I say that, especially when Kyle and I were wrestling teams like The Kings of Wrestling and the Brisco Brothers and the American Wolves, I really felt that the tag team division within Ring of Honor just could not be touched. There were just so many good...

The Cleveland Browns head coaching search is not going well – at all. So that has lead the Browns to delve a bit deeper into their wish list which could apparently include members of the San Francisco 49ers head coaching staff.
On Monday it was reported the Browns could have potential interest in 49ers defensive line coach Jim Tomsula, a notion that coincides with a report from CSN Bay Area which says Jim Harbaugh has spoken to the Browns in regards to his assistants.
Jim Harbaugh said he's had conversations with Browns about some 49ers assistant coaches.He didn't get specific.
The fact that it was 'assistant coaches' rather than just 'assistant coach' makes it likely the Browns were interested in more than one, potentially asking San Francisco about offensive coordinator Greg Roman as well – though that is not confirmed at this point. Roman interviewed twice for for the Minnesota Vikings job as did Tomsula, who interviewed once.
No interviews are officially scheduled at this point.

Up 3-0, Tim Thomas says Bruins must keep playing 'one shift at a time'
|05.04.11 at 11:10 pm ET
On Wednesday, the Bruins took just the series lead that they have been associated with for nearly a year. In holding a 3-0 edge over the Flyers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bruins have the very lead that they blew a season ago when they were eliminated by Philadelphia in seven games. The Bruins are trying to block out the comparisons to last year, but given where they stand, it's only natural.
"About half the guys weren't here last year. It's different," center David Krejci said after the team's 5-1 win. "We have better depth in our lineup, and we showed it in the first round. Hopefully that's going to help us in the second round, too."
While the roster itself is different, many of the veterans who were on the squad know that the B's did learn from last season's collapse — even ones who weren't playing.
"We learned last year that the fourth win is the hardest," Tim Thomas said. "We are playing one game at a time, one period at a time, and one shift at a time. We are going to try to play it the same way come Friday."
The B's can go for the sweep Friday at TD Garden.

See the Cast of 'Wild at Heart' Then and Now
Released in 1990, David Lynch's 'Wild at Heart' stars Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern as Sailor and Lula, a young and free-spirited North Carolina couple on the run from Lula's overbearing mother, who has hired various hitmen to murder Sailor. Lynch's bizarre road-trip romance was inspired by 'The Wizard of Oz' and Elvis Presley, and received incredibly mixed reviews from both critics and audiences alike, as Lynch's films often do. Twenty-three years later, we revisit the cast of this wild ride and see what they're up to now.
Nicolas Cage, Sailor Ripley
Then: Nicolas Cage played Sailor Ripley, a romantic outlaw-type character obsessed with and inspired by Elvis Presley. The snakeskin jacket Sailor wears in the film is Cage's own, and an ode to Marlon Brando.
Now: Cage is known for playing wild characters in films like 'Face/Off,' 'The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,' 'Kick-Ass' and the 'Ghost Rider' series, though he says he won't be appearing in future installments of the latter. More recently, he's appeared in 'Stolen' and lent his voice to 'The Croods.' He can be seen next in the David Gordon Green indie flick 'Joe.'
Laura Dern, Lula Pace Fortune
Then: Laura Dern played Lula Pace Fortune, a character inspired in part by Marilyn Monroe. Dern previously appeared in Lynch's 'Blue Velvet,' and he immediately thought of her for the role of the Southern-fried, gum-chewing, hyper-sexual counterpart to Sailor.
Now: Dern, who is the daughter of actors Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd, has also appeared in the films 'Jurassic Park' and 'The Master.' She reunited with Lynch for 'Inland Empire,' and starred in the recently canceled series 'Enlightened.' She can be seen next in the adaptations of the bestseller 'The Fault in Our Stars' and 'Wild.'
Diane Ladd, Marietta Fortune
Then: Diane Ladd, star of 'Chinatown' and 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore,' played Lula's overbearing mother, who gets the mob involved, hoping to have Sailor killed to keep her daughter under her watchful eye. Ladd is Dern's mother in real life.
Now: Ladd went on to star with her daughter again in three more films: 1991′s 'Rambling Rose,' Alexander Payne's 1996 film 'Citizen Ruth,' and David Lynch's 'Inland Empire' in 2006. She also appeared in 'Enlightened,' starring her daughter, and her last appearance was in 'Grave Secrets,' the film that led to a Nickelodeon TV series adaptation of the 'Deadtime Stories' children's books.
Harry Dean Stanton, Johnnie Farragut
Then: Harry Dean Stanton played Johnnie Farragut, a private detective hired by Marietta to keep tabs on Sailor — he's also Marietta's lover, and easily manipulated.
Now: Stanton has an incredible number of film credits to his name, and went on to appear with Laura Dern's father, Bruce Dern, in the HBO series 'Big Love.' Recently, he appeared in 'The Avengers,' 'Seven Psychopaths' and 'The Last Stand.' The life of the actor and musician is recounted in the recent documentary 'Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction.'
Willem Dafoe, Bobby Peru
Then: Willem Dafoe, star of 'The Last Temptation of Christ' and 'Born on the Fourth of July,' played Bobby Peru, a man hired by the enigmatic Mr. Reindeer to kill Sailor.
Now: Dafoe is fond of collaborating with familiar names and faces — he has starred in several films for Lars von Trier, including 'Antichrist' and the upcoming 'Nymphomaniac.' He lent his voice to Wes Anderson's 'Fantastic Mr. Fox,' and reunites with Anderson for the upcoming 'Grand Budapest Hotel.' He can also be seen in the upcoming young-adult adaptation 'The Fault in Our Stars,' which sees him reuniting with 'Wild at Heart' co-star Laura Dern.
Grace Zabriskie, Juana Durango
Then: Grace Zabriskie, who starred on Lynch's 'Twin Peaks' television series, played Juana Durango, a criminal who works for Mr. Reindeer.
Now: Zabriskie also went on to star with Harry Dean Stanton and Bruce Dern on the HBO series 'Big Love.' She reunited with Nicolas Cage for 'Gone in 60 Seconds,' and with Laura Dern for 'Inland Empire,' and can be seen next in the upcoming film 'Wrong Cops.'
Isabella Rossellini, Perdita Durango
Then: Isabella Rossellini played Perdita, daughter of Juana and Sailor's ex-partner, who now works for Bobby Peru. Rossellini previously appeared in Lynch's 'Blue Velvet,' and was in a relationship with the director at the time.
Now: Rossellini went on to star in films like 'Death Becomes Her' and 'Roger Dodger.' She has her own series on Sundance called 'Green Porno,' in which she explores the mating habits of various species, and has guest starred on '30 Rock,' 'Treme' and 'The Blacklist.'

American University Studies: 7, Theology and Religion #270: Mahayana Phoenix: Japan's Buddhists at the 1893 World's Parliament of Religionsby John S. Harding
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The remarkable group of Japanese Buddhists who traveled to Chicago's Columbian Exposition to participate in the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions combined religious aspirations with nationalist ambitions. Their portrayal of Buddhism mirrored modern reforms in Meiji, Japan, and the historical context of cultural competition on display at the 1893 World's Fair. Japan's primary exhibit, the Hō-ō, or phoenix, Pavilion, provided an impressive display of traditional culture as well as apt symbolism: for Japan's modern rise to prominence, for Buddhist renewal succeeding devastating Meiji persecution, for Mahāyāna revitalization following withering attacks of Western critics, and for Chicago's own resurrection from the ashes of the Great Fire. This book examines the Japanese delegates' portrayal of Mahāyāna Buddhism as authentically ancient, pragmatically modern, scientifically consistent, and universally salvific. The Japanese delegates were active, and relatively successful agents who seized the opportunity of the 1893 forum to further their own objectives of promoting Japan and its Buddhism to the West, repairing negative evaluations of the «great vehicle of Buddhism, differentiating Japanese Buddhism from the Buddhism of other countries, distinguishing their tradition as the evolutionary culmination of all religions, and shaping modern Buddhism in Asia and the West.
Book News Annotation:
Revising his 2003 Ph.D. dissertation for the University of Pennsylvania, Harding (religious studies, U. of Lethbridge, Alberta) looks at the politics infusing the Parliament, by focusing on the activities and experience of the Japanese Buddhist delegation. The Parliament was billed as the culminating event of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, he explains, and though conceived as a show of universal brotherhood, it displayed diverse and multivalent levels of contestation.

Lonnie (Johnny Whitaker) has a dog he wants to train as a bird-dog, but his father Harve (Earl Holliman) thinks the dog is not trainable and gives it away. Lonnie teams up with his best friend Text (George Spell) to get the dog back in this straightforward Disney film. They name it Moreover and before long, they've managed to teach it a thing or two--enough to make it a serious challenger to Harve's own dog in a local bird-dog competition. Then a misunderstood joke leads to trouble, and the boys have to choose between loyalty to family and their love for their dog. The Biscuit Eater isn't one of Disney's top films; by contemporary standards it's slow, and the emphasis on hunting birds may upset young viewers. However, others may find its tale of determination and racial harmony appealing. --Bret Fetzer

If you own a Shih Tzu, chances are you need good tools and equipment since this breed of dog is known for its long, flowy coat that need more than the usual amount of maintenance. However, making the decision to groom your pet is not only a practical decision money-wise, it can also help you and your dog bond more. Here are a few Shih Tzu grooming products to get you started.
How to get Knots out of Dog Hair
Knots that form in your Shih tzu's hair can be quite challenging and painful to remove. However there are tips you can work with to make the process less painful where you don't even have to cut the hair. This means that you have to make sure that the dog's coat is well taken care of as safe detangling is not possible when it has been severely neglected. You may also want to do it on your own as professional groomers usually don't have the time and/or patience to detangle the knots and are often too fast to cut and shape. Below is a simple process on how to get knots out of dog hair.
How to Groom Your Shih Tzu
A Shih Tzu has a high maintenance look; however, grooming is not very difficult or time consuming if you choose to groom your dog yourself. Fortunately, Shih Tzu puppies do not require a lot of grooming. A daily brush is all that is needed. As they grow, the ungroomed dog can become a matted mess which is very unhealthy for the animal. Your well-groomed Shih Tzu should have long, flowing hair with a top knot or clipped hair and the optional long top knot.
Top 4 Shih Tzu Potty Training Problems
Shih Tzu dogs are the ultimate companion for you and your family. They are a wonderful breed that's alive with spunk and personality. They enjoy boasting around the room, wagging their tail around like a real boss. Shih Tzus enjoy friendship of the whole family and they particularly love being spoiled and pampered by them. Shih Tzu potty training should start as soon as you introduce your new puppy to his or her new home. You will find that your dog is going to be a smart and talented student. They enjoy the motivation and challenges that potty training brings, in addition relish the time you spend with him/her. However, potty training a Shih Tzu can prove to be a challenging and time consuming task. [click to continue…]
Tips on How to Train a Shih Tzu Puppy to go on Potty Pads
As I've said many times before, training a Shih Tzu is not an easy thing to do. It's no fault of their own of course, it's just that they have short attention spans. They'd rather play and lounge around on your lap instead of worrying themselves with tedious commands and lessons. Remember, they're a very stubborn breed that was bred for royalty. I get a lot of questions about how to potty train Shih Tzu puppies, here is a great video on how to do it. Remember, patience, persistence, consistency, and diligence is the key. Do not yell or hit your puppy, they will not understand why you're punishing them. Take your time and eventually you will both succeed. [click to continue…]

This product is fantastic...if you desire to lose a ton of hair!
I've only used it 10 times and have been shedding hair with the bulb...so upset! I'm growing my hair out, finally in a bobbed style and now I feel I may have to have it cut shorter again until the hair grows back. Argh! I used the jojoba one for the record.
Wished I'd realized the hair loss a week ago, maybe I'd still have more hair! From what I've read, Wen does something similar too, so it isn't just because it's the knock-off.

I am new to Hair One - I have the Sweet Almond - have been using it for about three months and I am definitely liking it ALOT. It takes some getting used to but my hair is shinier and seems to be much healthier. It retains my color SO WELL. I was using L'oreal Sulfate Free shampoo and conditioner which I loved but what a difference the hair one makes with my color. My hair is naturally dark brown, almost black and is dyed to a very bright red. I'm able to wait almost two months before I have to dye my hair again since I've been using this cleansing conditioner and that is AMAZING! When I try to go back to the sulfate free shampoo and conditioner I watch my color go down the drain. It has a great scent but you do go thru alot of product. I have hair down to the middle of my back.. I recommend anyone w/ colored hair try this product. I will definitely continue using the hair one!

In my hopes to find a "cheaper Wen" I tried Hair one. I have to say it does a great job of cleansing (just make sure you rinse well) but not as moisturizing as I'd like it to be. I still have to use a leaving conditioner and oil to my ends. It's ok, it's not Wen though
UPDATE: If at Sally's try the As I AM coconut cowash...I prefer it to Hair one. But does not beat out WEN.

I use Hair One for curly hair and have type 2B/C hair depending on how my hair is cut. I love how it leaves my hair feeling clean, but not stripped of all of its luster. After switching from conventional shampoos/conditioners, I noticed that my hair was a lot wavier than I thought and I barely had to use any hair products to get frizz-free waves. What I especially loved was not having to wash my hair every single day, I could get away with washing my hair a couple of times per week.
After using the Hair One for about a year, I decided to try the no shampoo thing, and now my hair looks even better! I didn't even have that icky transition period where my scalp flipped out and over-produced oil. I am positive that it is because I used Hair One for so long before switching, my hair was used to not being constantly stripped of its natural oils. I use a half-dime sized amount of curl lotion in my collar bone length hair and my hair looks fabulous.
I will NEVER use regular shampoo again. I will still use Hair One when I travel, but never will I strip my hair and suffer through gross hair again.

Please see update.Licensed Cosmo here. I was using the salon graphix cleanser and I switched to Hair One a week ago. It leaves my hair softer,shiner and less tangled than salon graphix. With both cleansers I have noticed less hair in my comb. In fact after using Hair One for one week the last time I washed my hair there was one Hair in my comb and none in the drain! I do know that sulfate actually clogs pores and hair follicles even though it foams and clogged hair follicles can be the cause of hair loss if medical reasons are ruled out. I recommend Hair One and use it like the WEN commercials. It may take 3 washes before you love it but it works. Tip: if you have an oilier scalp and don't like washing with hair one everyday you can mix it with water in a spray bottle and mist to refresh on days you don't wash.:)
Update: After months of use and a horrible experience with WEN, it made my scalp hurt terribly after four days I had to take pain killers, I realize there is nothing better than gentle shampoo for your hair type. I use KMS add volume shampoo and conditioner and now have amazing hair with no problems. I have also noticed my son's hair looks and feels so much better with a gentle shampoo. I would only recommend a cleansing conditioner for curly girls on the days they do not shampoo. For other hair types I don't think they improve the hair. I have done months of research and trials on these conditioners. A good way to find out if a product if working for you is to take before and after pictures. Just make sure they are in the same lighting and you can see the results.

This is a great product ~ I have been using it for over a year, and would never go back to regular shampoo. I have shoulder length hair that is red, curly, and very dry. I have spent tons of $$ over the years on conditioners, etc, to make my hair softer and more manageable. When I first tried this shampoo, I purposely avoided using any product in my hair so I could get a better idea of exactly what effect it would have on my hair. I could not get over how soft and manageable my hair felt!! I kept telling people to touch my hair - it felt so soft, and for the first time I could remember, I could actually run my fingers through it.
I love this product <3

I bought the Hair One Dry Scalp Cleansing Conditioner with tea tree oil. And can I just say....LOVE! This product does exactly what it says it does. I use it mid week for cowashing, mostly on my scalp to get rid of any residue from oils and dandruff on my scalp and use any excess on the length of my hair. Although, i did follow up with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioner, I can say my hair did not feel stripped of moisture after using the Hair One. Would definitely purchase again!

One Hair Cleansing Conditioner is bascially Wen Cleansing Conditioner right down to the pump style bottle. The difference?
One Hair only costs $9.99 a bottle.
It's sold in sample sizes.
It's sold at Sally's, so you don't have to order it and pay S&H.
If you love Wen or just want a sulfate-free shampoo, this is the product to try.

Awesome sunscreen. Often overlooked because it is not high ppd, but for daily incidental exposure it does enough for me. I had an unexpected day out in the sun, although my shoulders/arms burned, but my face and neck were not affected at all.
my skin is on the drier side and i don't like greasy sunscreens because they tend to break me out. It stays perfectly matte, without drying out my skin. It is a combo physical/ chemical sunscreen, but it does not annoy my skin like other chemical sunscreens. Contains Niacinamide (vitamin B3), is paraben and fragrance free.
Of course i would repurchase and I have! Ive been through 5 or 6 bottles and have a backup waiting

*Edited 4/16/13* Spoke too soon. This did in fact irritate my rosacea and I had to discontinue using it. I suspect the niacinamide or maybe even the lactic acid, my skin is so sensitive that it's hard to know for sure sometimes. It's a shame because this is a great SS.
I have finally found my HG SS! I used to use Skinceuticals Physical Fusion which has an awesome finish but being that I'm very dry, I have to wear moisturizer underneath. So I was looking for a SS that was moisturizing enough that I wouldn't need a separate moisturizer and that wasn't super shiny. This happens to do both beautifully! It also wears under makeup like a dream. I use Estee Lauder Invisible foundation and Laura Mercier loose powder over top, my skin looks awesome! I was worried the niacinamide might irritate my rosacea but it hasn't, I've been using for a couple of weeks. I love the airless pump and the fact that is also has Sodium Hyaluronate as well. I'm going to order another bottle soon to be ready for summer. Love this stuff!!

Finally! A natural sunscreen that doesn't break me out and doesn't leave me super greasy!
I had previously tried Elta's tinted sunscreen with disastrous results - it worsened existing acne and laid the foundation for some heinous future breakouts but I digress...this particular formula, with niacinamide to minimize redness, has been amazing . It's non-irritating, fragrance-free, and wears reasonably well under makeup. It DOES have a slightly grainy finish and can pill, but it's nowhere near as bad as other mineral sunscreens. The most important thing is that it does NOT break me out, nor does it leave any kind of gray or white cast on my face.
I'll be repurchasing.

I have combo skin (oily t-zone in the summer), so I have a hard time finding an spf product that does not make my skin look metallic/shiny. This sunscreen is one of the better ones. EDIT: I prefer Clinique City SPF 25, because it is all physical sunscreen.

After my stash of HG and now dc'd Sheseido sunscreen ran out I was having a really tough time finding something comparable to replace it that wouldn't irritate my skin and eyes or cause breakouts. I actually ordered this for my daughter who plays sports, is acne prone and has similar issues with sunscreen. I gave it a try and love it. Its not cheap for sunscreen but how many of us have spent over $20 just for primer? This is a light lotion that has no sunscreen smell and dries to a matte finish. It doesn't irritate my eyes or skin but it provides some serious oil control so I sometimes add one drop of face oil to keep it from being too drying this also gives it a dewier finish. I get zero breakthrough shine when wearing this either alone or under makeup and my t-zone can get pretty oily. Because of this I don't use this with powder. That combination is way too drying and I haven't been able to skip powder since I was 15. This isnt for someone with dry skin issues but could be a big help for the oily and /or acne prone. Sun protection seems pretty good for day to day and this seems a bit easier to remove than some I've used. Glad I found it and even stocked up on a few bottles while it was on sale.

I was lucky enough to receive a sample of this in a swap (I did google the product to find out the $$ for my rating) and have used 3x on my face now.
I did not read any of the reviews prior to using. The title "Clear" threw me for a loop as this stuff comes out white, but it completely disappears on my NC 15 skin (I'm sure due to the micronized ZO). It dries to matte finish and does not dry out my skin.
Here is my problem w/ it and why I won't purchase = it has a low PPD = 4.8 - 5.8 PPD depending if ZO in oil or water phase. As I have melasma, this ridiculously low PPD is as definite deal breaker for me. Too bad too cause I like this stuff....

After two weeks of daily use, I can definitely say I adore this sunscreen. It works wonderfully under makeup, leaves no white cast, doesn't smell like sunscreen, contains a significant percentage of skin-brightening niacinamide, does not irritate my eyes, does not ball up or streak, does not make my skin oily, and has a really impressive level of broad spectrum sun protection (9% transparent zinc oxide, 7.5% octinoxate, SPF 46). The airless pump is great, but it's hard to tell how much is left so I'll have to keep an extra on hand. I use it over an antioxidant serum (Paula's Choice Skin Balancing) for extra protection, and follow with whatever foundation strikes my fancy. So far, it has worked very well with liquid, cream, cream-to-powder, and powdered mineral foundations. I have been using (and really like) the Devita Solar Protection facial sunscreen, but the added niacinamide in the EltaMD is a really significant plus. I am very, very pleased with this sunscreen and will continue to purchase it.

This is my HG sunscreen for my face. I have never liked wearing sunscreen on my face because of my oily skin, but this one is amazing. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling normal, maybe even somewhat matte. It works great on its own and holds up nicely under makeup. My only complaint is the bottle! It's too small (I guess it's nice if you want to carry it in your purse) and it's hard to gauge how much product is left. My solution is to just have an extra one on hand at all times, that way if I run out unexpectedly I won't have to wait for another bottle to come in the mail. One full pump is enough to cover my face liberally, plus some left over to cover the front of my neck. Overall, a great product.

In my opinion, Elta MD UV Clear is a high quality sunscreen/sunblock. In 2009 my dermatologist recommended I try this and I've been using it ever since. Those who dislike typical "sunscreens" will be pleasantly surprised as It absorbs quickly, no lingering sunscreen odor, and no tackiness or greasy feel. I appreciate the airless pump. It is expensive considering how much product you get. At the dermatologist, I can purchase this for $25 and I've seen it online for up to $35! Again, the benefits outweigh the price. Elta MD makes other products.

I have only used this for one day, but ill update during the time.
Right now I want to give my first impression. I was looking for something that 1) does not break me out, 2) feels extremely light and fresh in the face, 3) gives me a matte/non-greasy look, 4) works well with makeup and is NOT waterproof.
I already know that some silicones and heavier ingredients break me out. Most of the sunscreens I've tried also broke me out! But cause I have a lot of hyperpigmentation (and acne) I have to find a daily sunscreen. Dermatologists have told me that products that are waterproof easier clog pores! So let's try this!
First impression:
- extremely lightweight, melts into the skin and disappears within seconds from your hands....
- you can see traces of the white cast, you can se that it contains Zink....but it disappears more and more after a few minutes..
- leaves a little shine, but NOT a greasy feeling. So I had to powder a little more... Yet haven't found out if thé makeup goes away faster with this, but ill update...
- the feeling is little tight/dry in the face, this is not too moisturizing... But I could solve that if this does not break me out....
I'll update again ....
UPDATE 18th October, 2012:
I got a small breakout the first four days, maybe cause of the niacinamide...maybe 5-7 more pimples than normally. But since then I haven't developed new ones in the same way...
No new breakouts caused by this, at least, seems like...
I think that this can become a little too shiny/sheer to be able to wear it without powder though...but I can live with that as long as it doesn't break me out, and I can use it daily....
It's also too dry to use around the eyes, ill need to find something else for that area. It's also too drying to be used alone around the mouth... I think ill try the Elta Daily spf 40 on those areas....ill try to order it.....
So far: highly recommend for us with acne!!! Five lippies!!
UPDATE 9th november, 2012:
STILL NO BUMPS!!!!! No clogged pores, no breakouts!! Completely amazing, this is the FIRST sunscreen that hasn't given me acne!! Instead my face almost looks clearer with this than before (or feels better - it's at least not worse with the acne). This is completely adorable, and I'd give it 500 lippies if I could!! At last I have found something that is lightweight, water-soluable, high spf, does not clog pores and comfortable enough to wear daily under makeup!!!
Try it!!!!! :D
Update 6th of April 2013:
During the last 3 years I've been studying, and I started working again now in the middle of mars. The office is hot and there is a lit to do, and I usually work 8-9 hours a day.... I need my makeup to STAY where I put it, at least for a few hours! Unfortunately my makeup really "melts away", slides off, with the elta sunscreen. I just can't touch up every hour, I have no time!! SO right now I'm on the hunt of a "drier" /more matte daily sunscreen that doesn't break me out. That will be hard cause I easily break out by some silicones.... So I have no idea right now....
This is of course still a 5 lippies product, but only a little too shiny for me during really long, hot days at the office. Either I'll try to mix it with something or to find another product for the work.
