We loved this! Like others said...we had all the ingredients on hand except the T-bone...so I used NY strips...I let mine sit in the tasty juices for about 6 hours...quick and easy to prepare...I cooked mine on my cast iron grill pan...the meat just melted in our mouth...it's that tender... Thanks for posting it...=)
Wow, was this good. I knew that we would enjoy it based on the ingredients and I was right. I marinated the t-bone steaks for 9 hours. They were so flavorful....mmmmmm I can still taste them, grilled for 5 minutes per side...they were perfect. Beautifully cooked, medium rare and so tender. Thanks for sharing my new goto steak marinade. Made exactly as written wouldn't change a thing, quick and easy with tremendous results.
Wonderful! Perfect flavor. We only grilled ours for 5 min. per side and that left them slightly pink. Thanks! I made this for Went to market recipe tag.
Delicious! I've made this a few times and it is always nice and juicy and full of flavor. Very, very good!
Great flavor. The steak was in the marinade for at least 10 hours. Thanks Diner :) Made for Holiday tag
Yum! I too had all ingredients on hand and intended to marinate my steak for about 4 hours. Unexpected company showed up, so it actually marinated for about 24 hours, lol. Simple and oh so good. Thanks diner for another keeper. Made for I Recommend tag.
A simple but delicious recipe indeed! Totally had every single item in my pantry, (except the garlic - which was already out on the work table. :) I halved this, for one steak and I used a sirloin steak, because that is what was in the freezer. Joyous and outlandishly amazing! (and quite juicy to boot.) Will use this quite often, thank you for adding such a simple, delicious steak heaven to our palette's! Made for *I Recommend* and *August Kitchen Special* August 2009
I had all of these ingredients on hand for this recipe. I used ribeyes instead of t-bone. It marinated for 24 hours. It was juicy, tender and tasty. I will use this marinade again.

The Best Sunscreen
After spending 25 hours on research and interviews, and many more wearing sunscreen on our bodies, we've determined that the best sunscreen for everyday use is the one you'll use correctly. But most people are doing it wrong—which means you probably are, too. According to all seven dermatologists we interviewed, as well as the many scientific papers and lit reviews we read, if you're outside, you should be applying a full shot glass's worth of sunscreen to your near-naked body about once an hour in order to get adequate protection with your sunscreen. That's a lot. Which means the best sunscreen needs to be affordable. Ideally, it should go on easily and feel good against your skin as well. That's why we recommend NO-AD Sport SPF 50. At 56 cents per ounce, the NO-AD sunscreens cost half as much as their closest competitors. We liked this one best because it has no added fragrance, is water resistant, and consistently placed among the top three during blind application tests by our six-person panel.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $14.
NO-AD Sport SPF 50 has a relatively thin texture for its SPF rating, making it among the easiest to apply out of the 13 we tested, and the easiest of the sunscreens that were water-resistant and fragrance-free. It's water-resistant (not all sunscreens are) for up to 80 minutes, the maximum amount of time a sunscreen can claim to be per FDA guidelines, and fragrance free. Unlike many sunscreens we considered and some we tried, it won't make you look like a ghost or smell like a Bath & Body Works.
If NO-AD is sold out, we recommend Coppertone Oil Free Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30. Like our pick, it's easy to apply and fragrance-free, was well-liked by our test panel, and has a very similar list of active ingredients. Don't be deterred by its lower SPF—it's still effective if applied liberally and reapplied often. The big difference is that it costs twice as much as NO-AD.
We think most people will be happy with the performance, look, feel, and price of a chemical sunscreen like our pick and runner-up. But whiter zinc oxide and titanium oxide-based physical sunscreens can be good for people who hate the classic smell of sunscreen, prefer a stickier texture, or who want to be able to see where their sunscreen has been applied. If you would prefer a physical formula, we recommend Ology Sunscreen Lotion (Walgreens) SPF 50. This 4 percent zinc oxide formula was the least smelly of all the sunscreens we tested, beating out other fragrance-free sunscreens, like our top pick, in unscented-ness. It went on smoother than others of its kind, and is far less expensive than others we considered, too. If you have a sensitive nose, this will be the best sunscreen for you.

Why you should trust us
We talked to cosmetic chemist Perry Romanowski; Lisa Quale, a health educator at the Skin Cancer Institute at the University of Arizona; and five dermatologists: Rachel Herschenfeld of Dermatology Partners; Steven Wang of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center; Lindsey Bordone of ColumbiaDoctors; Erin Warshaw, chief of dermatology at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center; and Patricia Treadwell of Indiana University, who specifically works with kids.
We read a lot of academic papers: papers on the risks of feeding the chemicals in sunscreen to rats, papers on how people apply sunscreen (spoiler: poorly), papers comparing ingredients, and review papers.
We also read maybe a dozen sunscreen lists from consumer publications—and then tossed most of them out, because of their utter lack of basis in science.
We hung out in the lotion aisles at drugstores and the sun protection section on Amazon. We did a price, smell, and feel (based on user reviews and ingredients lists) comparison of 50 sunscreens that hit the American Association of Dermatology requirements for a suitable sunscreen lotion.
Should I switch brands?
Many sunscreens out there will hit our basic requirements. If you have a bottle of something at home, or are fine with the price and feel of whatever you buy normally, you might be fine.
But there are a few big reasons why you might need to consider buying something new, even if it's just to move back to a lotion after trying an alternative format, like a spray or a stick.
If you are using a sunscreen that is paraben- or oxybenzone-free because you're concerned about these chemicals, stop letting those be a factor in your decision-making. As we'll explain in our ingredients section, there's far too much alarm out there about the supposed harm sunscreens will do to you if you apply it to your skin. We will work through all the reasons why you shouldn't be worried below. You should be much more worried about the sun exposure that can result from poor and infrequent application.
There's really no such thing as "sensitive skin" sunscreen, according to Romanowski and Treadwell, our chemistry expert and one of our dermatologists, respectively. If you have sensitive skin, forget the marketing labels and just pick something without an added fragrance—which can be genuinely irritating. Our experts tell us that all ingredients have the potential to bother someone. "What I tell parents is if they put a sunscreen on and the child turns red without exposure to the sun, then I tell them to avoid that particular sunscreen," said Treadwell, who sees a lot of child patients with skin issues.
Are you trying to stretch the life of a pricy bottle of fancy sunscreen by applying it in scant amounts? That's bad: Sunscreen works only when applied often and in large quantities. Consider going through it quickly, and then picking up our price-conscious pick.
Who should buy this?
Everyone. You are getting a fair amount of sun rays "unless you are a spelunker," said Herschenfeld, one of our dermatology experts. "I put it on every single day. I will leave the house in smelly workout wear, but I never leave the house without my sunscreen."
The exception: Do not put sunscreen on an infant. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends keeping humans younger than 6 months out of the sun entirely.
Even with everyday use, applying sunscreen doesn't guarantee perfect protection. You may inevitably miss patches of skin, or sunscreen may dissolve away in your sweat.
Every single dermatologist that I spoke to mentioned that avoiding the sun, in combination with sunscreen, is really the best way to protect yourself. These supplemental methods of sun protection include protective clothing, umbrellas, and the choice to not structure your entire summer around lying out on the beach for hours and hours every single day. When I asked Quale, who works with high-risk skin cancer patients as an educator, how effective sunscreen is at preventing disease, she launched into a spiel on sun abstinence: "Covering up is all around a better protection: There's no user error." But when bundling up in the shade is impractical, everyone should be using sunscreen.
The sun isn't total evil to our skin: It helps us produce vitamin D. According to review papers we read, most people don't apply sunscreen properly and so not getting vitamin D is not an issue. If it is—you're going to do a great job of wearing sunscreen, now, right?—you can just take a vitamin. (In fact, when I went to the doctor recently and found out my levels were low, that's exactly what she recommended.)
When applying hourly isn't practical
These picks work for most everyday activities that the average person might encounter outdoors. However, if you experience the outdoors in more extreme ways, such as surfing, swimming, or marathon-running, then you may not be able to apply sunscreen at our recommended frequency (hourly) and in the recommended quantity (1 ounce over your mostly naked body). If that is the case, your better bet for protection is to cover up with clothing, like a rash guard, shirt and pants, or a wetsuit. These guidelines from the Skin Cancer Foundation on sun-protective clothing are worth reading. As a rule of thumb, darker, tightly woven clothing is better than lighter-colored material that you can see through. If you need to protect your face, our beach and pool guide has a bunch of recommendations for hats.
How sunscreen works
Along with visible light—the very power of life on our planet—the sun emits UV, or ultraviolet, radiation that is not visible to us. It is bad for your skin. It causes reddening, sunburn, wrinkles, liver spots, skin sagging, and, obviously worst of all, cancer.
Skin cancer is a big problem: Each year in the US, nearly 5 million people are treated for it, with an $8 billion-plus price tag, according to Wang, one of the dermatologists we interviewed. "[And] we're not even talking about death and psychological trauma." (Wang's work, which we consulted for this guide because he writes comprehensive review articles, is not paid for by industry. But he is paid consulting fees from skin care companies to share his expertise.)
You can mitigate all of this by putting on sunscreen, which either absorbs or reflects—more on the difference in a minute—the UV rays before they reach your skin.
Not all sunscreens are created equal, safety-wise.
All sunscreens have a sun protection factor, which you know as SPF. It's a measure of how well sunscreen protects you against UVB rays. We factored out SPF below 30, the level recommended by the the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), and didn't focus much on sunscreens much above 30, with a couple of exceptions. There's not a linear relationship between SPF and protection: SPF 15 filters 93 percent of UVB rays; SPF 30, 97 percent; 50, 98 percent—and nothing blocks 100 percent.
But there's a point in favor of not getting too carried away: Higher SPF doesn't pick up the slack for poor application. Some studies have found a non-linear correlation between the amount of sunscreen you apply and the effective SPF. Higher SPF means thicker sunscreen, which is more difficult to apply. Some of our picks are above SPF 30, but that's because they weren't available at a lower SPF with the specs we wanted. Wang warns against a false sense of safety from super-high SPFs: You can't put on SPF 100 and then be invincible against the sun.
It's also critical to have a sunscreen that is labeled "broad spectrum." This label means the sunscreen has ingredients that protect against both kinds of UV rays, UVA and UVB. UVB causes sunburn, and UVA leads to wrinkles. Both types of radiation can lead to cancer.
While there's no SPF rating equivalent for UVA rays, a sunscreen that passes the FDA's broad spectrum test has UVA coverage proportional to its UVB coverage. If a sunscreen has materials in it to protect from UVA rays, it will say "broad spectrum" somewhere on the bottle.
UVB rays cannot go through glass, so if you are inside for most of the day, you're well protected from those. You are not protected from UVAs, however, just by being indoors, because they are able to penetrate glass.
Dark spots and wrinkles—not to mention cancer, to some extent—are a feature of skin that's spent years and years soaking up the UVAs that can go through a car or bay window. "Who wants to be wrinkly?" asks dermatologist Bordone, rhetorically. Sunscreen isn't just important in the short term to protect from sunburn; it's an investment in the lifelong condition of your skin, and more important, protection against cancer.
Chemical vs. physical sunscreens
There are two main kinds of sunscreen formulas: physical (reflects the beams away) and chemical (a reaction soaks up rays before they hit your skin). There are also combination sunscreens, which have some chemical filters and some physical.1 Chemical sunscreens tend to be greasier, but go on clear. Physical sunscreens tend to be thicker and go on more white.
Of the formulas, cancer educator Quale said: "The only reason to choose one over the other is personal preference."
In 2016, Consumer Reports updated its sunscreen rankings and published a new report on the effective SPF of the sunscreens it tested. CR writes that physical, or "mineral," sunscreens (as opposed to chemical ones) tended to test at a lower SPF than the claims on the bottle; of the physical sunscreens CR tested, 74 percent did not meet their SPF claim. However, chemical sunscreens are not much better off: In the CR tests, 42 percent of them registered a lower SPF than their labels claimed. It's difficult to know whether a sunscreen meets its claims without lab testing, and CR's individual sunscreen evaluations are not viewable without a subscription. However, our top pick does meet the SPF claim on its label.
|Active ingredient/UV filter name
|Range covered
|Ecamsule (Mexoryl SX)
|Titanium dioxide
|Zinc oxide
Physical sunscreens work by deflecting UV rays using the active ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, often in tandem.
- Zinc oxide is a physical blocker that protects against both UVA and UVB. These physical sunscreens tend to make sunscreen whiter. Dermatologists often like zinc because it does a great job protecting against the whole spectrum.
- Titanium dioxide protects against UVB and some UVA rays (290-340 nanometers).
These also come in "micronized" and "nano" versions, which can go on a little less white and be easier to rub in, especially in sunscreens with a high zinc oxide content. (And don't be worried about these teeny particles penetrating your skin, as stuff that you put on your skin sometimes does: According to this review article, there is no published evidence that says they'll do you harm.)
The more expensive physical sunscreens can have a higher zinc oxide content. Higher is better, Quale said, but it also makes you pastier (and can be more expensive). She recommends 5 percent at least (some of our picks have slightly less), but said the most important thing is using enough and reapplying.
Chemical sunscreens, by contrast, work by absorbing the photons of the sun's rays before they reach your skin; the photons' energy goes into breaking down those chemicals rather than into your skin. Avobenzone, oxybenzone, and ecamsule are the three main filters. There's a whole slew that you'll find on bottles, but these are the big ones.
- Avobenzone protects against the range of UVA rays that other chemical sunscreen ingredients do not protect against. This is the most common material found in chemical sunscreen for broad spectrum coverage. Studies show that it does just as good of a job at protecting you as zinc oxide does (though in a more limited range of the UV spectrum). It works by breaking down in reaction to light, unlike zinc oxide. However, this shouldn't matter, as you you should be reapplying either product often anyway. Avobenzone also goes by the name Parsol 1789.
- Ecamsule is another UVA filter more recently approved by the FDA, and is a less common alternative to avobenzone. It protects against some UVA rays. You need one or the other for broad spectrum coverage. Ecamsule also goes by the name Mexoryl SX.
- Oxybenzone is a chemical that protects against some of the UVA spectrum that avobenzone does not, and UVB rays. Most chemical sunscreens will have this.
And this is why we're not concerned: According to Wang's work, you'd have to apply a 4-ounce bottle of sunscreen every week for 70 years to accumulate the equivalent topical exposure as what the rats were fed. Even then, it's not the same, because in studies on humans, topically applied sunscreen (to the skin, like it's supposed to) is absorbed—and then flushed out in their pee. However, the rat study also showed that it wasn't acutely toxic to the rats, which means you're not gonna die if you ingest a little sunscreen anyway.
So, here's the take-home lesson from the rat research: Sunscreen is not food.
The EWG has also highlighted allergic reactions as a problem with oxybenzone, but in reading the actual paper, we discovered that these reactions are limited to a small number of people who have a condition called photoallergic contact dermatitis. In the study, only a quarter of people with this condition reacted to oxybenzone. If you have this condition you likely already know, but if you do and need to avoid oxybenzone for this reason, you can use our physical sunscreen pick.
Every single expert I spoke to and every review paper I read (of course, we don't know every single thing there is to know about it) very clearly concluded that there is no realistic reason to worry about slathering yourself with oxybenzone. While studies often raise concern about certain materials, it's important to remember that in assertions of risk, quantity matters. As scientists are fond of pointing out, even water can kill you in high enough doses. The risk of getting cancer via sun rays far outweighs the documented risks posed by the chemical. After all this research, I will continue to use oxybenzone-based sunscreen. I would happily rewind to my babysitting days and slather my most favorite child with oxybenzone-based sunscreen.
All of our experts agreed that you'd be fine with a combination of chemical filters. Studies show that as long as you are applying like you are supposed to, chemical filters can provide good coverage. (And while some doctors we spoke to were keen on physical or combo formulas, the consensus was that having a formula you like, with an adequate SPF, was far more important.)
A note about filters, now that you know what they are: According to Wang, you can't just look at the ingredients on a sunscreen bottle and figure out how good the protection is. Though experts agreed that zinc and avobenzone were two of the best filters, how well they protect you depends not just on the amount in the sunscreen but the inactive ingredients that make them stick to your skin (and in the case of the avobenzone, prevent it from breaking down). But like SPF ratings, this is another element where reapplying every hour is a smarter approach than relying on some chemical to stick to your skin just a little bit longer.
What else is in there
In addition to the active ingredients, it is important that your sunscreen has a preservative so it's safe. Otherwise, microbes can grow in it and possibly infect you. (Last year, a bunch of baby sunscreens were recalled because they contained dangerous microbes. The paraben-alternatives used in the sunscreens were not synthetic chemicals, but they were also not effective.)
Parabens are a common kind of preservative, present in some sunscreens and many other things that you buy and slather on your body. Parabens have lately been vilified with repeated rumors saying they can penetrate your skin and encourage cancer growth, or disrupt hormones. A lengthy report from the European Commission Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety concludes that parabens are safe in normal cosmetic use. A 2002 study suggested that they might be harmful to the reproductive systems of rats and is the source of some paraben fears. But follow-up studies could not confirm the results. According to the American Cancer Society, carefully designed studies on breast cancer and parabens have found no connection.
Paraben fears are causing cosmetic companies to turn to other preservatives, like methylisothiazolinone, as an alternative. "It's a shame because paraben is a great preservative," said dermatologist Warshaw. Very rarely, people can have an allergic reaction to methylisothiazolinone. There's no need to avoid it, but if you do break out in a rash, this might be the culprit. Most sunscreens, including our picks, still use parabens and avoid this issue.
There's also other stuff that chemists put in sunscreens to make you buy them.
Some sunscreens boast that they contain antioxidants, which are theoretically nice because they can soak up free radicals. But according to chemist Romanowski, they're not present in lotions in a quantity that will be at all helpful to you.
Since fragrance can be irritating, and what makes a good fragrance is largely personal, it's generally a good idea to avoid sunscreens with it. That said, the chemicals themselves in sunscreens still have a scent, so you are not going to find a sunscreen that smells like absolutely nothing.
Features you don't need
Some sunscreens claim to be water resistant, but no sunscreen is water- or sweatproof. As such, you should never count on sunscreen to stick on your skin after swimming or working out, and you should definitely be reapplying after you do either of those things. Per FDA regulations, sunscreen can only be labeled as water resistant for 80 minutes, at which point, per our hourly application recommendation, you should have reapplied anyway.
You don't want a sunscreen that's combined with bug repellent. You need to reapply sunscreen more than you do repellent. Plus, DEET may reduce the SPF of sunscreen.
Sometimes the fancier, more expensive stuff is compelling because it comes in attractive, compact bottles that are easier to carry in a purse or put atop a dresser. We did not factor the bottle volume or shape into our selections, because it's easy to transfer something like sunscreen to an inexpensive bottle, at a one-time cost. Try our pick for toiletry bottles, the Nalgene travel kit.
If you have sensitive skin, there's no need to look for formulas marketed as "non-irritating." Our cosmetic chemist source told us, "every lotion out there has the potential to be irritating to somebody." In fact, if you have a skin reaction, it's probably not the sunscreen itself but additives like fragrance or methylisothiazolinone, a preservative.2 We tried to stay away from those as much as possible in testing, and went with fragrance-free picks.
Across the pond, the European Commission has approved many more sunscreen filters that can serve as alternatives. The EU considers sunscreen a cosmetic product, which makes the approval process faster; here, sunscreen is classified as an over-the-counter drug. The very practical reason we didn't consider imported offerings is because they're illegal to buy online here. But we also don't think you need an alternative to oxybenzone-based sunscreens, which is why many people have sought out European sunscreens, and written pieces endorsing them. We considered and rejected all the arguments against chemical sunscreens available in the US, and don't see a need to break the law to seek alternatives. "We have effective sunscreen ingredients to choose from already," Quale said.
How we picked
The AAD doesn't endorse specific sunscreens, they just recommend basic criteria: over SPF 30, broad spectrum, and water resistant. And while we found that some dermatologists have a favorite, we chucked these recommendations on the basis that they ran counter to the advice dispensed by the same dermatologists' assertions that anything meeting the basic requirements would work just fine. After realizing that sprays aren't as convenient as they seem, we quickly added another criteria—that our pick had to be a lotion. Sprays need to be rubbed in, can result in patchy application (especially in windy, outdoor conditions), and you can't measure how much you've applied. Every single expert we asked said you can't just spray your own back and be good to go. Treadwell said they're easy to inhale, which is not advisable. Sticks and foams also don't provide great coverage.
We considered a dozen or so lists of best sunscreens—from Good Housekeeping, Cosmo, O magazine, and more —and then tossed most of their wisdom out for featuring sprays, or selections rooted in a fear of chemical sunscreens. Still, we selected a few favorites from these for testing.
After talking to our many experts and reading papers for half a dozen-ish hours, we felt confident that we could choose either a physical or chemical sunscreen.
We started with a list of more than 50 sunscreen lotions that hit the basic AAD requirements. From there, we selected 13 sunscreens to test. We wanted something that was fragrance-free (we were not entirely successful in this: One we tried smelled terrible), had positive reviews (whether from consumers or another reputable publication, such as Consumer Reports) and, most of all, were price conscious. We also threw in two of our personal, pricier favorites, to see how they stacked up: The Neutrogena Dry Touch formula that I (now, having researched all of this) use every day and is popular among the Wirecutter staff, and the EltaMD SPF 50 pick that Wirecutter founder Brian Lam recommended in an earlier version of our beach guide. We made sure each the of basic kinds of formulas were represented: physical, chemical, and combination sunscreens that include both chemical and physical ingredients.
We trusted the SPF on the bottle. The FDA regulates the protection claims that manufacturers make about their sunscreens. While there is evidence that this does not work perfectly, doing our own tests was beyond the scope of this guide. (And wearing sunscreens outside isn't a good way to empirically test how well one works, as there are so many factors to control for.) That said, Consumer Reports did independent lab testing on our top pick—so we feel very comfortable telling you that it will keep you safe.
However, we found a major factor that we needed to take into account: ease and frequency of application.
To get the SPF listed on the bottle, you need to put 2 mg/cm2 on your skin. That's around an ounce for your mostly naked body on a beach day (1.5 square meters by 2 mg/cm^2 = 1.05 fluid ounces). The AAD also recommends one shot glass, which is 1 ounce. But that's just your first application! The AAD suggests reapplying every two hours.
Instead of doing gymnastics with scales and shot glasses, a paper titled Application of sunscreen—theory and reality recommends frequent application as a strategy: Apply your sunscreen 30 minutes before you go outside, and then again once an hour, plus every time after you sweat a lot or go in the water. No sunscreen is totally waterproof, and while our pick is water-resistant, it's better to reapply with another ounce of your sunscreen than play the odds of whether your application was perfect or thorough enough to last through sweating or swimming.
How we tested
A panel of six people (including me) tried on the sunscreens in swatches on our arms in a blind test, with the bottles covered in duct tape to avoid the influence of brand names and marketing claims. We looked at the smell, texture, feel of each; and if rubbing it in was a pain, either by taking too long or not being spreadable enough.
Three of us each took two top of the top physical and chemical products home and slathered most of our bodies with them to get a better idea of how they actually felt and smelled in larger quantities, and over longer periods of time.
(Additionally, as a side note, I became obsessive about covering different parts of my body in different sunscreens that we had picked while writing this guide.)
I also incorporated our top pick, as well as a couple others of thicker and smellier consistencies, into my daily makeup routine: The sunscreen that works best for everyone should also be able to work without interfering with a moderate barrage of cosmetics and perfume. All sunscreens that I tried did just fine under layers of tinted moisturizer, blush, and assorted glittery stuff. Scented ones left me, well, kind of scented, which was a minus. On a daily basis, I want to smell like fancy hotel lotion or something by Calvin Klein. But not my sunscreen.
Before a date, I used both of our chemical picks on my body, and then did my usual leaving-the-house-on-a-Friday-night thing. Upon questioning, the date reported that he detected nothing amiss and that I smelled nice.
We found that the chemical sunscreens we tested all smelled at least a little sunscreen-y if they didn't have some other fragrance added. The physical and combination ones all smelled slightly like glue. But these smells are all fairly subtle, and can be hard to pick up unless you are standing in the sunscreen aisle and doing a careful comparison. We've noted in the competition section which sunscreens have a prohibitively strong smell.
Our pick
*At the time of publishing, the price was $14.
NO-AD Sport SPF 50 chemical sunscreen is the best sunscreen for the most people. According to updated Consumer Reports rankings and tests, NO-AD Sport SPF 50 meets the SPF claim on its label and remains among the least expensive chemical sunscreens to do so. It has no added fragrances, its texture made it the easiest to apply of the sunscreens we tested, and at only 56 cents an ounce, it's far less expensive than almost anything else we could find. It comes in the only format that we can recommend confidently (lotion!) and hits all of the AAD requirements. Most important, no one had a single major complaint about it in our testing. We found that all three of the NO-AD formulas, including this one, rubbed in nicely compared with other sunscreens we tested. And among those three, this was the only one that had zero complaints about the smell. In contrast, several sunscreens we tried were difficult to rub in or had a fragrance we hated. This formula does what a sunscreen is supposed to do: Protect you, with little fanfare.
The NO-AD Sport SPF 50 is rated as being water-resistant for 80 minutes, the maximum amount of time that a sunscreen can claim to be water resistant, making it among the most water resistant of all the sunscreens we considered. While you should apply when you get out of the water or stop exercising, you will be have as much protection as a sunscreen can afford you until then. Not everyone swims or exercises in their sunscreen, but most people do sweat, so maximum water resistance is an important factor even in general-purpose use.
Its active ingredients are avobenzone, 2 percent; homosalate, 15 percent; octisalate, 5 percent; and oxybenzone, 5 percent.
Amazon reviewers say: "won't make me smelly," "not greasy," and "simply the best protection for the best price," and "without a doubt the best and cheapest suntan lotion available." We agree.
Consumer Reports also gave it high marks (here, subscription needed): "Excellent in overall performance. A recommended sunscreen that is excellent for UVA and UVB protection." In Consumer Reports's lab tests, NO-AD Sport SPF 50 met the claims on the bottle, so we feel confident in telling you that you should buy this.
There's not too much to say about something that quietly does its job and gets out of the way.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
In patch testing on my arm, the NO-AD went on slightly greasy, which made me think I might not like using it on my face. But when I took a bottle home to use it in my daily makeup routine, I found that I didn't mind it all that much. It left me feeling a little shiny at first but seemed to absorb into my face after a few minutes, and I have somewhat oily skin. Its greasiness is about equal to the Cetaphil moisturizer that I have used every day for several months. When I layered tinted moisturizer and blush and various glittery cosmetics on top of the NO-AD, the combination held up just fine.
The slight sunscreen smell is a little funny when it's right next to your nostrils, but it went away quickly, and didn't seem to interfere with my perfume. If you don't like the sunscreen smell, and don't mind a different smell, you can try the NO-AD SPF 30 or the 45 (which, like the 50, is slightly thicker than the 30). Those sunscreens smell slightly sweet, which is a dealbreaker for me: They smelled kinda funny under my perfume and made me smell a little perfume-y when I was working out and hadn't wanted to smell like anything. And one unequivocal bonus: The SPF 30 version goes on a little thinner, so its a little easier to rub in.
The NO-AD bottle is pretty cumbersome. You can solve this by buying a different bottle and just refilling!
If NO-AD is sold out, we recommend Coppertone Oil Free Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 ($10). There's not much of a difference between it and our pick—it goes on easily, absorbs well, and there's no added fragrance. (It actually goes on a little more easily because it's a lower SPF, which won't particularly matter if you are applying properly.) The big difference: It's about twice the cost per ounce. But that's still approximately the same price as many of the competitors. (Also, note that this one is still advertised as "waterproof" in some places, which is totally not allowed because no sunscreen can be waterproof. So despite the claim, reapply after sweating or swimming.)
Its active ingredients are avobenzone, 2 percent; homosalate, 13 percent; octisalate, 5 percent; octocrylene, 2 percent; and oxybenzone, 4 percent.
Also great: a physical sunscreen
We think most people will do well with our pick, but if you would prefer a physical sunscreen for its lack of "sunscreen" scent, prefer the stickier texture, or don't mind the chalky coloration on your skin, we recommend Ology Sunscreen Lotion (Walgreens) SPF 50 ($9, $1.12/oz.). Of the five physical and combination sunscreens we tested, Ology was the best because it had pretty much no smell, went on easily, and is half the price compared to others of its (physical) kind. Testers consistently ranked this one in the top two picks for physical or combo sunscreens, saying that it "absorbs nicely," and "it seemed to rub in the best." Others in the category were harder to rub in, smelled (usually like glue), and were far were more expensive.
If you are sensitive to the faint sunscreen smell of avobenzone formulas, a physical sunscreen like Ology (or a physical/chemical combination sunscreen) is the way to go. Our self-proclaimed fragrance-hating tester tried this one and the Neutrogena while on an all-day photo shoot on a rooftop. "I have to say that they both wore the same, were the same amount of greasiness for roughly the same amount of time, and absorbed roughly at the same rate," she reported. "Once slathered all over my body, [the Neutrogena] had an overwhelming fragrance. I was bothered by it." The Ology, on the other hand, had a "neutral smell" to her nose. In the fragrance-free variety, physical sunscreens smell sort of like glue, not the scent of traditional sunscreen, and they smell less strongly overall than the chemical sunscreens. So, take your scent pick.
Its active ingredients are titanium dioxide, 3.1 percent, and zinc oxide, 4 percent. A physical sunscreen can come with higher concentrations of zinc oxide than Ology's 4 percent and be protective, but it will also go on whiter. We're not recommending one with higher-than-normal levels because if you're using your sunscreen properly you should be getting proper protection anyway.
I found the Ology way too much of a pain to rub in compared with the NO-AD. Another tester said that it's "really thick and mineral-y." However, pretty much any physical sunscreen you wear with significant SPF is going to feel thicker than a chemical one. Some of our testers didn't have trouble with absorption, or found that the texture wasn't a big enough deterrent to sway them toward a chemical pick (perceived absorption rates are relative). But, out of all the physical sunscreens we tested, Ology proved to be a favorite, even beating out the expensive EltaMD combination physical/chemical formula with some of our testers.
Ology is sold exclusively at Walgreens and can be ordered online.
Face sunscreens
Don't count on your foundation, powder, bronzer, or other makeup to fully protect you. Sun-protective makeup might not be good enough for your daily routine, depending on what you are using and how much time you spend outside. Many cosmetics that advertise an SPF do not protect against UVA rays. They're not falsely advertising, but it's easy for you, the customer, to miss that they don't have the important "broad spectrum" label. And if they do, they may not have a high enough SPF to meet AAD recommendations.
On that note, there's one caveat to using our pick on your face: Water-resistant formulas do have more oil; that's what makes them water resistant, Romanowski said. "Face" sunscreens tend to be formulas with less oil. If you are acne prone, and putting oil on your face is a concern, look into a separate face sunscreen. (When using our pick, a water-resistant formula, I did not notice an uptick in pimples. Your mileage may vary.)
One positive thing you'll find in hitting the "face" portion of the aisle: more fragrance-free options.
Though I'll keep buying a different formula for my face, I wouldn't hesitate to use our pick on my face for a beach day. If you're in the market for a dedicated face sunscreen, make sure it's broad spectrum, and SPF 30 or higher.
What about "reef-safe" sunscreens?
A recent study published in the Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology found throughin vitro tests (done in labs, not in the natural environment) that one of the active ingredients in chemical sunscreen, oxybenzone, can be damaging to coral reefs. This finding echoes a 2008 study, which said oxybenzone may cause coral bleaching.
The 2015 study goes on to say that the concentration of oxybenzone in water on beaches where people swim can remain significantly high even dozens of meters from the coast, far enough to reach some coral reefs. The authors also caution that oxybenzone could reach reefs through wastewater systems that vacate off coasts nearby. This information is alarming because coral reefs are a little-understood feature of the ocean that appear sensitive to many elements of human influence, and they are dying quickly in some parts of the world.
We stand by our recommendation that the best way to avoid sun damage, the core goal of sunscreen, is to stay out of the sun, or stay covered up while outside. This is the best method with the least impact on your surrounding ecosystem. If you plan to travel or live near coastal reefs and wear sunscreen, you may impact your environment less by using a physical sunscreen like our pick, Walgreens Ology Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50. (Note that a second study unearthed by our science editor, Leigh Krietsch Boerner, suggests one of the active ingredients in the Ology lotion, titanium dioxide, may also impact the ecosystem, but these correlations are less direct than the 2015 oxybenzone study and have not been replicated.)
Some sunscreens are marketed specifically as "reef-safe" an unregulated term. Some Central American resorts mandate that customers purchase special biodegradable sunscreen based on the idea that regular sunscreen is damaging to coral reefs. A piece from Vice points out that this mandate was previously based on the coral-bleaching study from 2008 linked above.
We do not have a pick for biodegradable sunscreen, and resorts will often sell you whatever they feel is compliant. But Vice echoes our stance: if you're really worried about coral, the better environmental move is not to encourage resort development in the area near coral reefs by visiting them.
We note that these effects have not been studied in the open ocean, once these compounds have had a chance to dilute. Therefore, there is somewhat less cause for alarm about using sunscreens far away from coral reefs. The good news is that another study from 2010 shows that, with protection, damaged coral reefs can rebound.
The competition
All the sunscreens we tested met our basic safety requirements, so if you find yourself standing in an aisle at a drugstore, you can reach for any of these. Some of the ones we tested we wouldn't buy at all—we've noted those below.
Coppertone Water Babies SPF 50 — This option ranks among Consumer Reports's highest-rated chemical sunscreens. It goes on easier than the Coppertone Pure and Simple combination sunscreen, and it does not leave the slight white residue that is characteristic of physical and combination sunscreens. While the feel is similar to that of our top pick, the fragrance is stronger and flowery. Since fragrance preference is highly personal and scents may be irritating to some people, this sunscreen won't be the best choice for everyone.
Pure Sun Defense — The Pure Sun Defense formula feels the same as that of our top pick: It rubs in easily with a sheer finish that's minimally greasy and with a slight sunscreen smell, while offering good protection with an SPF 50 rating and an advertised water resistance of 80 minutes (no sunscreen is waterproof). At 76 cents an ounce (at Target), it's just slightly more expensive than our top pick. Pure Sun Defense is available exclusively at Target and Walmart, which is a drawback if those stores are not convenient to you; if they are, this sunscreen is a good alternative to our pick. Pure Sun Defense comes only in cartoon-character bottles about half the size of our pick's bottles, so it fits more easily in a purse or bag and is easier to squeeze, but you'd need to stock up on a few bottles for a beach trip.
CVS Baby Sun Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (chemical/physical combination, $9, $1.12/oz.) – All of our testers were pretty neutral on this one. One tester's succinct comments summed up all of our feelings: "Smell isn't offensive. It's a little sticky. Blends into the skin decently."
Block up! Sport Sunscreen SPF 50 (chemical, $4, $0.44/oz.) – Also a fine choice. Rubbed in easily, but not as easily as our pick and the other NO-AD formulas.
CVS Clear Zinc Sun Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (chemical/physical combination, $7, $1.75/oz.) – I used to be a lab rat for an archaeologist who spends every June in the Near East on digs, and when I asked her what she wore, she pointed me excitedly to this. (She also wears a hat and loose clothing, since she's outside all the time.) Our testers didn't have much to say, in the "no strong feelings are good feelings" sort of way. One reports: "It's clearly a physical one because it goes on pretty white. But it rubs in pretty nicely and cleanly." In testing at home, I liked using this one on my face: It was pretty easy to rub in and smelled like absolutely nothing. Plus the little bottle fit nicely on my makeup shelf.
Coppertone Waterbabies Pure and Simple (combination, $26 for a two-pack, $1.62/oz.) – This one was thick, and took a bit to absorb—but not a prohibitively long time. Some of our testers said this is what they use at home.
NO-AD Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion (chemical, $18 for a two-pack, $0.56/oz.) – When we realized that NO-AD was the winner, price-wise, we wanted to try a few to find the best one. The difference was smell. The Sport lotion is the only NO-AD lotion without added fragrance. This one has an added fragrance that smelled kind of sweet. It's a slightly thinner version of our top pick, the NO-AD Broad Spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen.
NO-AD Sunscreen Lotion SPF 45 (chemical, $19 for a two-pack, $0.58/oz.) – A slightly thicker version of the SPF 30 version. Also has a fragrance.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 45 (chemical, $13, $2.21/oz.).– This is small enough to toss in a purse, but feeds out of the tube at a pretty slow rate. Despite the marketing, the feel when it dries is not significantly drier than the NO-AD. As one tester said of the Neutrogena sunscreen: "It rubs in nicely, but I don't really like the smell. I've used this one a lot and the smell has actually never bothered me. But after smelling all of the others, the scent on this seemed too strong."
And here are the ones we wouldn't buy:
La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Melt-In Sunscreen Milk — This product topped Consumer Reports's list of sunscreens that the testing house evaluated in 2016, as it met the SPF claims on its bottle and had only a faint "beach ball" scent. This sunscreen, however, tends to cost at least 10 times as much per ounce as our pick, which means each hour in the sun would cost you a few dollars. If you think cost might discourage you from using a sunscreen liberally and frequently, choosing a more price-conscious sunscreen is a better move.
Alba Botanica Very Emollient, Fragrance Free Physical Sunscreen SPF 30 (physical, $9, $2.13/oz.) – We picked this because of the cost, because it was fragrance-free, and because a list of natural (read: physical, and marketed toward the Whole Foods set). New York magazine's The Cut said that the fragrant version of this could be "your gateway to a more natural lifestyle. Maybe." Most of our testers did not like it. After patch-testing, one of our guinea pigs reported, "I like that it's almost odorless, but I don't like how sticky this is." She concluded, "I don't think I'd wear it."
And when editor Casey Johnston took it home and tried using it on her whole body, she found that the larger application area really brought out it's not-great qualities. "It really has a gluey smell I don't like, and it's pretty thick and hard to spread," she reports. "Not that I'd never use it in a pinch but if I'd bought it I would not buy it again."
Other physical picks are better. The only difference is that they have parabens, which as we noted above is not a downside, and are not marketed as "natural." Poison ivy is natural. Skip this one no matter what.
EltaMD Skincare UV Sport Broad-Spectrum (chemical/physical combination, SPF 50, $28, $3.52/oz.) – An earlier version of our beach guide recommended this sunscreen. In doing our extensive research for this guide, we felt it was probably too expensive but we wanted to give it a fair shot.
Testers liked this one a lot—it uses 9 percent micronized zinc oxide, which cuts down significantly on the white appearance. Though it goes on slightly sticky, in patch-tests on their arms, testers reported that it was easy to rub in. When I tried covering my limbs in it, I got tired before it was all the way rubbed in, though it ended up going from pale to glistening-greasy-clear on its own.
Testers also noted that the application bottle is really nice, but again there was trouble when I tried to use the recommended quantity: I had to pump so many times that the little pump started wheezing. Thankfully, it's also available in a more convenient tube format. Given that some of our testers picked the less expensive Walgreens in swatch testing, there's no reason you should be paying so much money for this one.
Equate (Walmart) Ultra Protection SPF 50 (chemical, $9, $0.56/oz.) – Consumer Reports gave this one high marks. We did not like the smell and we would not buy it. The smell is a very intense sunscreen smell, so unless you are shopping for sunscreen with the express purpose of inducing a scent memory of the beach, neither should you.
Honest Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 30 (physical, $14, $4.67/oz.) – We did not test or consider this sunscreen while researching our guide, but it has recently made headlines due to customer complaints that it is not protecting skin from sunburns. We would note that at $4.67/ounce, this is very expensive sunscreen, which might discourage the frequent and liberal application needed for adequate protection. This formula's only active ingredient is a 9.3% concentration of zinc oxide, which is low for a zinc-only sunscreen (typically those products have concentrations around 20%, as NBC Chicago reported). Honest sunscreen markets itself using meaningless, undefined terms like "safe" and "nontoxic" and "hypoallergenic." For these reasons, we would not recommend Honest's product.

1. Note that the chemical sunscreens are often referred to as "organics" because of the structure of the molecules that compose them. It has nothing to do with the sourcing of their ingredients. And obviously, the physical ones also contain chemicals. They are often called "mineral" sunscreens, a nod to the kind of chemicals that they contain. Jump back.
2. We covered this in-depth in our laundry detergent guide: "Think you're allergic to something found in laundry detergent? You're not. Or most likely not, according to Dr. Erin Warshaw, chief of dermatology at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center and co-director of the Occupational & Contact Dermatitis Clinic there. What you may have thought was an allergic reaction was probably just irritation instead. 'An allergic reaction is like poison ivy,' she said. "So it requires that you are first exposed to a chemical, it takes about three weeks to be sensitized to that chemical, and then upon re-exposure, you develop a very itchy rash that often blisters." A true allergy to laundry detergent is rare, she said. When an ingredient in laundry detergent does cause an allergy, the usual culprits are fragrances or preservatives, such as methylisothiazolinone, which is more commonly used in liquid detergents."

text: 5. WesBanco Shares of WesBanco ( WSBC) of Wheeling, W.Va., closed at $19.55, bucking the industry trend by rising 6% year-to-date. Based on a quarterly payout of 16 cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 3.27%. The company has increased the payout twice during the last three quarters, from 14 cents. The company had $5.5 billion in total assets as of Sept. 30 with 112 branches in West Virginia, Ohio and western Pennsylvania. WesBanco reported third-quarter net income of $11.0 million, or 41 cents a share, declining from $11.9 million, or 45 cents a share, in the second quarter, but increasing from $9.2 million, or 34 cents a share, in the third quarter of 2010. The provision for credit losses was $10.8 million during the third quarter, increasing from $6.8 million the previous quarter, but declining from $11.8 million a year earlier. The third-quarter net interest margin was 3.67%, increasing from 3.61% a year earlier. The third-quarter ROA was0.81%, according to SNL Financial. Sterne Agee analyst Kenneth James on Oct. 31 reiterated his neutral rating on WesBanco, saying that although "core earnings trends have been favorable due to NIM expansion and expense reductions," a repeat of "the previous year's share price performance over the next year could prove difficult given a more challenging revenue outlook." The shares trade for 10.5 times the consensus 2012 EPS estimate of $1.86, among analysts polled by FactSet, and 1.5 times tangible book value, according to SNL. Two out of six analysts covering WesBanco rate the shares a buy. The remaining analysts all have neutral ratings. Prev 6 of 11 Next

The Bones Collector
Critical and necessary art movement, or just the blatant defacing of property? The graffiti debate rages on. One thing not up for debate is the fact that the Dallas Police Department has been cracking down on graffiti in the downtown area. Last December, six graffiti artists were arrested and accused of causing more than $100,000 in damages. One of those arrested was the now-legit-and-law-abiding artist Tony Bones. The Kettle Art Gallery is hosting a benefit for Tony Bones, selling new pieces by the artist and putting the money toward his ongoing legal battle. Other local artists have also donated pieces on his behalf. Gallery patrons are asked to refrain from tagging the building as they enter. It all starts 7 p.m. Saturday at Kettle Art, 2714 Elm St. Call 214-573-7622.
Sat., Dec. 2, 7 p.m.

Google Blogoscope updates sites previously identified as censored by Google in Germany and France in its
Sites Google Censors post. You can see how many pages are shown in Google.com then compare to what's isn't showing at Google Germany or Google France.
The sites are all removed due to national laws in those countries, I believe. Google Blogoscope asks for Google to tell people when material has been removed, in the way
they do for copyright reasons. John Battelle and I both asked for the same thing, in the past.
For John's views, check out Google News And China. From me,
Got To Censor Search Listings? Why Not Disclose? explains how Google disclosure of copyright-driven removals
in the US works, how no disclosure of spam removals is noted and how Google and all search engines have removed material for various reasons and should come up with a way to
identify this. My China Blocks Google News — So Bring On The Disclosure also coves the issue.
By the way, my usual refrain for "Google problems" like these is that they are often "search problems" and so people should also ask what's the situation with Yahoo, MSN
and so on. But in this case, it really does look like a Google problem.
I went to Yahoo Germany and Yahoo France and compared to the main Yahoo site, doing some spot checking of how they handle domains where Google has censored. In five checks,
I found no or very little differences in the counts that came back — differences so minor that they likely have to do with factors other than censorship.
Is Google overzealous? Maybe. Or it could be that like too many people, national governments also assume that it's an all-Google world and send censorship requests to
Google while overlooking other players like Yahoo.
The exact situation is uncertain because we don't really know how the sites came to be removed from Google. The 2002 Harvard study
Localized Google search result exclusions assembled a list of sites heard about, reported about in a few cases and
guessed at in others. A follow-up article Censorship of the Internet listed sites working from the Harvard list.
Google Blogscope's post was inspired by that follow-up.
In all cases, they give a glimpse into censorship but not the complete picture of all pages removed, nor how and why.
Postscript: Also see Seth Finkelstein's long-standing Google Censorship – How It Works page for a look at how Google has implemented censorship on a country-by-country basis in the past.

Tom Bradley may or may not be in the plans The following is an excerpt from Crystal Ball Run. Tom Bradley took his headset off with under a minute to play in the 2012 TicketCity Bowl, with his Nittany Lions trailing 30-14 and unable to prevent the inevitable. It may have been the last time Bradley, a long time face inside the Penn State football program, put on Penn State blue and white on a game day. "Well, obviously we're going to have a new football coach next year here for sure, whoever that may be," Bradley said after the game. "So in that regard, yes. I was disappointed in the way we played. I thought we'd play better today, I thought we'd play better defensively. I didn't anticipate us giving up those big plays. But it's going to be obviously new around here for a lot of people."

Summer Colors, now in its eighth year, was an idea born out of passion for both art and the patients of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. Founded in 2009 by Jenny and Loren Koziol and Jill and Dupree Scovell, this silent art auction raises awareness about the hospital, while also exposing the Dallas community to up and coming local artists. To date, Summer Colors has raised more than $66,000 for the hospital.
Each year, local artists donate original pieces of art to be featured in the auction, with all the proceeds benefiting Scottish Rite Hospital. Over the next few weeks, we will be introducing you to all of the artists.
This year's event will be held on Thursday, July 21, 2016 at Scottish Rite Hospital. Additional information can be found at community.tsrhc.org/summer-colors.
Meet our second round of artists below! Please note: all photos of the art are shown as examples of their work.
You can also view the rest of the artists in other posts:
Background/Bio: In 2002, Lori decided to follow her life's passion and recommitted herself to painting. At this time, she first engaged in plein air painting. "The challenges presented by painting nature while being part of that nature have taught me a tremendous amount about studying light and manipulating paint." The one constant through her paintings: her energetic spontaneous brushstroke, applying paint with a confident contemporary approach.
Lori resides in Dallas, a long way from the mountains of New York where she was born and raised. She attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, earning a bachelor's degree in Fine Art. Over the following years, Lori successfully pursued a career as a commercial artist designing for advertising agencies and running her own design studio. She is currently Design Director for the award-winning Private Clubs magazine. You see the influence of her commercial career in her exciting compositions … silhouettes of the world.
Inspiration: Nature and the ever changing light.
A graduate of Harding University School of Art and Design, Micah San Juan works as a production artist by day for Fossil Group, but immerses himself in his passion for painting when it comes to raising awareness on community issues. He is a 5 year member of Resounding Harmony (a philanthropic choral group) and has also used his love of charity to do works for Big Thought, The American Heart Association of North Texas, The Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas as well as Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.
I find inspiration from classic commercial artists like sign painters, illustrators and printmakers and well as the street artists from round the world.
While many artists take their craft from traditional to digital, CJ Miller's artistic journey has been quite the opposite. CJ Miller, the nom de guerre of Christopher J. Miller, founded the marketing communications firm Rainmaker Advertising more than 20 years ago. His initial artistic training is rooted in computer graphics, marketing and visual communication but in 2000 he decided to explore traditional fine arts.
This journey began with several years tutoring/training with Mary Kathryn Collins, a Dallas artist and instructor who supported Mr. Miller in uncovering his unique artistic identity – sort of like uncovering your artistic thumbprint. For the last six years, he's taken annual sabbaticals to train with Virginia Cobb in her Santa Fe, New Mexico, artist workshop. Ms. Cobb is known for her unique technique, detailed in her book, "Uncovering the Hidden Eye: Experiments in Water Media," which is a result of years of teaching experimental workshops. She believes that every painting is an experiment, a philosophy Mr. Miller has embraced as a way to gain a deeper, more personal perception of the physical world.
Mr. Miller continues to explore methods of utilizing different tools and materials. He has experimented with mixed-media, graphite, chalk and crayon, and matte finished acrylics on canvas, wood and Strathmore 500 Bristol Board. He believes that painting is a spiritual expression which reflects his current vibration and belief systems.
Rocket scientist turned self-taught abstract artist utilizing a blend of the analytical mind and artistic passion to create harmonious balance of color on canvas with compassion and diligence. Artwork is created for the individual collector, clients of leading interior design and non-profit organizations. JoJo was honored to be named a Fashion Group Internal of Dallas 2016Rising Star Nominee in Art.
Inspiration: Artwork inspiration is drawn from life experiences, 80's flare, and the color found in everyday objects.
Nancy began her studies of art at Hockaday, continued them at The University of Dallas. There, her MA and MFA were in printmaking and drawing. Later she learned the art of painting with beeswax, encaustic painting, from The Encaustic Center in Richardson and Truro Center for the Arts in Provincetown, MA. And was recently accepted to The Vermont Studio Residency.
She is a long life resident of Dallas and has lived and worked there over the years, both in Deep Elm, at The Continental Gin Building, and now in her studio near White Rock Lake. She has exhibited in galleries, competitions and museums, throughout the states: Chicago, Dallas, Ft. Worth, Morro Bay, Provincetown, and St. Louis.
Her work has always been about including some concept, or part of the past, while dealing with the present. She enjoys mixed media as well as incorporating various processes.
Constantly in need of a "creative outlet", I would often find new project and hobbies to test drive. The day I was introduced to jewelry, jewelry design, and a paintbrush was the day I realized I could put my biggest passions of creative design, the arts, and crafting into a tangible product to give back to the world.
My personal relationship with design has evolved into a love and passion I incorporate into every aspect of my life, both personally and professionally. Throughout my professional life, I have broadened my creative abilities through even planning, jewelry designs, painting, branding, business development, client relations, and marketing. Alongside my professional life, I have grown my design skills through my jewelry and painting business, CLQ Designs.
CLQ Designs offers custom jewelry design, jewelry redesign, and abstract acrylic paintings, while catering to the client's style, need and budget! CLQ Designs offers the best of both worlds – unique handcrafted jewelry and art sure to make you and your home the statement piece at your next event and a price point that won't send you running for the hills! I want my clients to be able to call me on a random Tuesday and ask if I can design them something new because they need to "spoil" themselves.
Since childhood, my creativity and passion for design has fueled my drive to explore new experiences, learn new skill sets, and cultivate meaningful relationships. For me, the most exciting and rewarding part of CLQ Designs is knowing that I am not limited to what I can learn, design and create. I love getting together with my clients to get our creative wheels turning together in order to design their one of a kind piece from CLQ Designs. I love the challenge of design and thrive off creativity (I can't get enough of it!).
I graduated from Wake Forest this past May with a minor in studio art and major in non-profit business. I had not been an art student since I was in the 5th grade, but I fell in love with the studio while taking a divisional. I took several oil classes and sculpture classes. I was hooked on using my hands and the tangible experience of creating something new.
I recently moved back to Dallas and have continued to paint, doing several commissions and projects. I started exploring mixed media by integrating acrylic and mod podge into my pieces. I paint in my backyard with my two dogs.
Inspiration: I am influenced by the places I interact with. Nature is a broad term, but I like to focus on places I am and have been and the experience of being in that place. People, sounds, textures, and emotional responses are just some of the things that make up a place.

Comments Thread For: Nacho: No Rematch Needed, Bradley Does Not Sell!
Timothy Bradleys split decision victory over Juan Manuel Marquez Saturday night didnt come without its share of controversy as Marquez and his trainer Ignacio Nacho Beristain were very vocal on their disagreement with the final verdict of the fight.
Both Marquez and Beristain took turns on the podium during the post fight press conference calling the outcome a robbery as they felt they once again got a bad decision in Nevada.
BoxingScene caught up with Beristain who was not pleased and felt they won the fight comfortably and by a wide margin.

Egocentric white American judges, commentators and writers are biased against Mexican fighters because they want to validate their narrative that white fighters of yesteryear are better. It's evil to deny a fighter from a poor country his dream and the monetary reward for a lifetime of hard work because you want to feel better about yourself.
EDIT: The aforementioned commentators and writers couldn't mention enough that Floyd, who's never been in a war, was *36YEARS OLD* and smaller than Canelo before their fight but rarely mentioned that Marquez, who's been in many debilitating wars, was *40 YEARS OLD* and smaller than Bradley. Too easy.

They have to be the biggest sore losers in the sport. I use to think it was B-Hop but man they are kings of the sore loser hill... that being said I respect JMM as a fighter and a champ, and I understand right after the fight if its close you will always feel like you won. But dude this is getting sad...

Both Nacho & Marquez coming across as less the gentlemen I thought they were and more the bitter losers. Don't get me wrong it was a close fight in some rounds but it is hard to justify a Marquez win by a wide margin. Makes me wonder if Nacho took a sip of Marquez-pi$$ by mistake during the fight.
Bradley should be given credit for the win, it would be nice to see some of it come from Marquez and his team.

X Factor lures local hopefuls
Relevant offers
Whangarei Leader
Rain, a long wait and a dragon's den of judges did not stop hundreds of hopeful singers from auditioning for TV3's The X Factor NZ.
The pre-auditions were held in Whangarei on February 4 with more than 170 singers showing off their voices and musical talent in the hope of becoming New Zealand's next big recording artist.
The event was not recorded for television but those with enough x-factor to impress the four executive producers will be invited to audition in front of a live audience and the television cameras in Auckland, says publicist Rose Swale.
"It would take months to audition everyone, so we have pre-auditions to get the cream of the crop."
Singers lined up, some with guitar in hand, from 6am and the auditions were still going well past the 3pm scheduled closing time.
Paul Ambler drove his 17-year-old daughter Johanna down from Waimamaku so she could sing her original music. While she was nervous, Dad was full of faith.
"We sing together sometimes but she's the one who wanted to come. She's been singing by herself for a while now and writing her own songs."
Andy Volkner queued for about four hours to sing his blues-style music and admits he is disheartened to get a "no" from the judges.
"I'm a bit disappointed but it doesn't stop you - nothing ventured, nothing gained," he says.

In 1902, a nineteen-year-old aspiring poet named Franz Kappus wrote to Rilke, then twenty-six, seeking advice on his poetry. Kappus, a student at a military academy in Vienna similar to the one Rilke had attended, was about to embark on a career as an officer, for which he had little inclination. Touched by the innocence and forthrightness of the student, Rilke responded to Kappus letter and began an intermittent correspondence that would last until 1908.
"Letters to a Young Poet" collects the ten letters that Rilke wrote to Kappus. A book often encountered in adolescence, it speaks directly to the young. Rilke offers unguarded thoughts on such diverse subjects as creativity, solitude, self-reliance, living with uncertainty, the shallowness of irony, the uselessness of criticism, career choices, sex, love, God, and art. Lette"rs to a Young Poet "is, finally, a life manual. Art, Rilke tells the young poet in his final letter to him, is only another way of living.
With the same artistry that marks his widely acclaimed translations of Kafka s "The Castle "and" Amerika: The Missing Person, " Mark Harman captures the lyrical and spiritual dimensions of Rilke s prose. In his introduction, he provides biographical contexts for the reader and discusses the challenges of translating Rilke. This lovely hardcover edition makes a perfect gift for any young person starting out in life or for those interested in finding a clear articulation of Rilke s thoughts on life and art.
About the Author
Rainer Maria Rilke (also Rainer Maria von Rilke) (4 December 1875 - 29 December 1926) is considered one of the German language's greatest 20th century poets. His haunting images focus on the difficulty of communion with the ineffable in an age of disbelief, solitude, and profound anxiety - themes that tend to position him as a transitional figure between the traditional and the modernist poets. He wrote in both verse and a highly lyrical prose. His two most famous verse sequences are the Sonnets to Orpheus and the Duino Elegies; his two most famous prose works are the Letters to a Young Poet and the semi-autobiographical The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. He also wrote more than 400 poems in French, dedicated to his homeland of choice, the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
