Apple and iWatch: The next frontier?
Wearable computers could be the next big thing, and few companies could do more than Apple -- and its army of developers -- to make a smartwatch a must-have accessory.
By Theresa Poletti, MarketWatch
Wearable computers, such as a wristwatch that makes phone calls, have for many years been the stuff of comic books, science-fiction novels and spy movies.
But recent reports that Apple (AAPL) is developing a so-called "smartwatch" mean that the company could turn wearable computers into computing's next frontier and singlehandedly revive watch-wearing among younger generations.
"We see the body as the next frontier for personal computing," said Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst with Forrester Research. "It would be strange for Apple to be absent from that, they absolutely have something to contribute to that."
Rumors that Apple is possibly working on such a device have been around for some time, based on patents it has filed and other clues. In early January, analyst Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray wrote a note to clients, saying that while he was unsure of the timing, he believed Apple "will eventually introduce some type of wearable computing product."
Apple did not respond to a request for comment.
Indeed, Apple would not be the first company to create such a device. For example, Sony (SNE) already makes a $130 SmartWatch that works with Android-based smartphones and displays texts, emails and social media updates, along with letting you know who is calling you.
But Apple has the marketing heft and technological chops to make such a device popular -- and fashionable -- in the mainstream.
And investors, who have seen Apple's stock plummet over the last few months over worries that its hyper-growth phase is slowing, may jump on some fresh product buzz.
Guaranteed to look cool
"Apple, like every other consumer electronics company out there, is trying to figure out the next big thing," said Paul Saffo, head of foresight at Discern Analytics. "The next big thing may be a bunch of little things. What do you do after you have a laptop, a smartphone and a tablet? You accessorize."
A smartwatch would likely at first just connect to an iPhone for phone calls, electronic payments and receiving messages on the screen. One aspect of what Apple is reportedly working on seems to involve its partner Corning (GLW) with its new curved glass, called Willow Glass.
This invention would make the iWatch more novel, enabling it to have a larger screen that could curve over the wrist.
"It is guaranteed to look cool," Saffo said." It most probably will do something useful. It will be an open invitation for developers to figure out what it's good for."
One early use of a smartwatch could be as a replacement for a Bluetooth headset, which will have everyone walking around "looking like a secret service agent," Saffo added. Or like Dick Tracy, the famous police detective who started talking into a two-way wrist radio to his colleagues on the force in the late 1940s.
Forrester Research wrote in a report last month that in 2012, many companies introduced wearable devices for health and fitness, which track activity with sensor chips, such as the Nike+ Fuelband. But Forrester noted that while these devices are promising, they fall short in areas such as data quality and lack a coaching feature to take advantage of all the data that has been gathered by the device.
'Becoming like tagged bears'
In addition, the downside of a device that is worn all the time on your body is that users could potentially be tracked even more easily than they are with smartphones.
"We're all becoming like tagged bears," said Saffo, adding that whether or not smartwatches track more than smartphones will depend on what electronics they contain, such as GPS chips.
But it is unlikely that more tracking will dissuade consumers, if they find an iWatch fast and easy to use to pay for things, or if it offers other conveniences.
"Americans complain about privacy, but offer them the cheapest trinket, or a free cup of coffee and they will spill the most intimate details of their lives," he said.
How far out this potential iWatch could be is the real question now for investors. As Rotman Epps pointed out, reports of Apple TV last year have yet to turn into a solid product yet.
"The speculation on timing was a little premature," she said. "I don't know that Apple is going to do this."
More from MarketWatch:
- What do Apple investors want?
- Tim Cook doesn't define Apple as hardware maker
- Cody Willard: Making money on Apple and Google
That is just funny to me that they are utilizing the term "watch" at all. I think in any way linking a new wrist-based form factor to the term "watch" isn't good marketing. Wris-Top is much better.
Think Wonder Woman's metal wristbands, but bent glass in a rectangular shape around your wrist. If lightweight and form fitting so you don't notice it unless you are interacting with it and it will sell.
I DO believe that this will be commonplace in the future (and I've assumed..maybe wrongfully so...that all of the big companies in this smart(insert device here) space would be working on this.
Taking your phone out and putting it away is easy, but if you could avoid having to do that all the time it would be great.
TYPING is the issue with a wristbased device so Apple's first move should be to use some of their $100 billion+ in the bank and buy Nuance. Their Dragon software is the backbone for many voice based solutions (including Siri I believe, so Apple already has the relationship). This would be good as voice controlled SEAMLESS/EASY texting, web surfing, phone calling, etc... would make this a viable and game changing tech right out of the gate if done correctly.
Screensavers and background pics on it will be part of your persona like your clothes, jewelry, haircut, etc... Different pictures or moving patterns to display your mood on any given moment in time.
One flaw is texting/emailing while in an environment that needs silence. Hard to get my mind around how they can dial that in without taking it off to type or using another device (e.g. phone in your pocket in these cases which defeats the purpose to some extent).
Similar to how the Microsoft Surface PRO (awesome by the way...MSFT needs to market it better to gamers. Nobody is realizing that you can play WoW, Portal 2, Starcraft 2, Diablo III, etc.. on it yet! NO IPad can do anything like that. That is a MASSIVE advantage. A gaming tablet that also you use for work. Missing a huge opp if you ask me, but I digress) works with insanely easy click of the keyboard/cover to its home on the Surface. This new device would need a FLEXIBLE back that could be popped off and lock itself straight to be able to type with two hands and then flip it around your wrist where it automatically clicks together with no hassle back to its home is probably the way it will have to work. (patent trolls are running to file...)
Cliff Notes: This form factor is the future due to ease of access to the info (your wrist is VERY accessible to your eyes). Using the term "watch" is silly though. Issues with typing unless you incorporate a quick release. Voice integration is CRITICAL. Apple is stupid if they don't buy Nuance and lock out Microsoft and others from doing it (I live in Seattle and will always back Microsoft for what they've done for the world, so I would rather THEY buy Nuance and Nuance's other software solutions are sooooo synergistic with Microsoft's Office and other business solution fyi.) Microsoft Surface PRO could be marketed better as the ONLY gaming tablet made for work too.
My two cents....

The Vaccine Industry - An Overview
Virtually all licensed vaccines in the United States are produced by just a handful of pharmaceutical companies: GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, Sanofi Pasteur, and Wyeth. These companies account for 80 percent of the worldwide vaccine market.1 With a limited number of manufacturers and many recommended vaccines produced by only a single company, vaccines are susceptible to large fluctuations in supply and availability.2
Thirty years ago, the vaccine market looked remarkably different. At the time, 35 companies produced vaccines for use in the United States, and similar departures from the international vaccine market have also occurred in the intervening years. Between 1988 and 2001, 10 of 14 global vaccine manufactures partially or completely stopped production of traditional childhood vaccines.3 Health policy experts and economists attribute this trend primarily to market and financial considerations--namely, sparse profits; costly research, development and production; and liability concerns.
However, vaccine production has gained renewed attention from pharmaceutical companies in recent years. This comes as a result of technological advances, successful early-stage research, and the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, a law designed in part to protect vaccine manufacturers against safety-related financial liability. Although representing only about 1.5 percent of all pharmaceutical revenues, the vaccine business is currently growing at a double-digit rate with particular attention directed at influenza, AIDS, and new cancer vaccines.4-5 Even with industry growth fueled by limited competition and the prospect of "blockbuster vaccines" such as Prevnar and Gardasil, analysts expect vaccine profits to remain below the margins of branded pharmaceuticals.6 Compared with pharmaceutical "blockbusters" capable of annual sales well over one billion dollars, most vaccines continue to yield more modest profits for manufacturers. Additionally, the current development pipeline suggests that no vaccine having blockbuster potential is expected for at least the next several years.7
Small biotechnology companies often play a significant role in the vaccine industry by improving upon vaccine technologies and development at early stages of research. Nearly without exception, however, the high cost and challenges of large-scale vaccine development and testing requires partnerships between these small firms and the major manufacturers. This further cements the central role of multi-national pharmaceutical firms in the U.S. and international vaccine landscape.
Challenges for vaccine supply and availability
Between late 2000 and 2003 there were unprecedented and unanticipated shortages of eight of 11 vaccines routinely administered to children. Attracting the most attention was the influenza vaccine shortage in 2004 due to production problems by Chiron Vaccines, a major supplier at the time.8 In addition, the 2009-10 H1N1 influenza vaccination campaign further illustrated the challenges of ensuring that vaccine supply meets demand, particularly in a public health emergency.
In all cases, vaccine shortages force policy-makers and physicians to alter recommended immunization schedules, putting children at risk for potentially fatal infectious diseases as vaccination is delayed or deferred. As a result, the system is ill-equipped to respond to unexpected fluctuations in supply or demand.
Demand for a pediatric vaccine is generally quite predictable; it is directly related to the size of the birth cohort in a given year. Such capacity is typically met without difficulty by manufacturers of licensed vaccines. Meanwhile, the largest single purchasers of vaccines are governments. In the U.S., for example, the federal and state branches constitute close to 60 percent of all pediatric vaccines sold in the country.9 These factors, coupled with the high cost of research and development, explain why there is little incentive for competition with well-established vaccines generally capable of meeting demand.
The lack of additional capacity in vaccine production creates vulnerabilities should large amounts of vaccines be needed on short notice, as in a public health emergency created by a novel virus or an act of bioterrorism. The 2009-10 H1N1 influenza pandemic illustrated these structural shortcomings quite clearly. Meanwhile, differences in production standards and regulatory requirements in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere often mean that vaccines may not legally be imported to other countries. This may even apply to slightly different formulations of vaccines produced by a manufacturer of a licensed vaccine in a particular country.
Impact on vaccine research and development
As noted thus far, many factors seem to discourage vaccine research and development, including limited demand, liability concerns, and price limits as a result of bulk purchasing. Perhaps the largest obstacle to the development of vaccines is the cost and time necessary to shepherd a vaccine through the clinical research process to licensure.
Producing a safe and effective vaccine requires about 12-15 years of research and costs estimated between $500 million and $1 billion dollars.10 This financial landscape means that the vaccine industry is unlikely to invest in a product that will not both pay for itself and turn a profit--characteristics which (almost) require a significant demand in wealthy, developed countries. As a result, many potentially vaccine-preventable diseases--such as those primarily impacting the developing world--are left without large-scale research interest from multi-national vaccine manufacturers. Attempting to fill this void have been networks led by private philanthropies, governments, and public-private partnerships.
The costs of vaccines extend beyond research expenses to the development of dedicated, specialized production facilities for large-scale manufacturing. Particularly because vaccines are given to healthy individuals who are often members of vulnerable populations (children and the elderly), regulators are particularly concerned with maintaining production standards so as to reduce the likelihood of safety problems. While these additional requirements increase confidence in the safety of individual vaccine lots, they lead to increased costs.
Since it is estimated 60 percent of vaccine production costs are fixed, meaning they are incurred regardless of the amount of product produced, vaccines require a sizable market to be profitable.11 Unlike cholesterol or blood pressure medications that are prescribed to patients for years, vaccines are only given a limited number of times, dramatically reducing the potential market and profitability.
The role of non-industry-based vaccine research and development
Increasingly, not-for-profit institutions such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have been playing a role in funding vaccine research and development. Their relatively recent emergence in vaccine research, coupled with the new strategies developed by dozens of small biotechnology companies, have the potential to transform a field previously dominated by only a handful of pharmaceutical companies in collaboration with academic researchers.
While increased funds and manpower have brought considerable energy to vaccine research, the various groups participating in this work face challenges in coordination and priority-setting. Research funding, be it from a not-for profit or a pharmaceutical company, comes with a specific agenda and expectations, resulting in differences in research priorities, objectives, and measures of success. These potentially competing concerns may impede research progress without careful coordination among the many groups--public and private--interested in the development of new vaccines.12

4 important steps to follow before making a purchase:
1. Make sure that the supplement was manufactured in the US or Europe. Avoid cheap substitutes that are usually coming from China.
2. Check the label to make sure there is no ephedrine in the formula. Ephedrine is a clear low quality indicator.
3. Verified…verified and VERIFIED. Always choose verified supplements. That is your high quality and results guarantee.
4. Do not buy garcinia cambogia that is cheaper than $45-55 per bottle. It is really expensive to gather high quality garcinia cambogia extract so do not expect to change your body dramatically for pennies. Choose another supplement if that amount of money would put you into an uncomfortable situation.
Brands That I Trust and Recommend to my patients and family members:
Verified Garcinia Cambogia (http://verifiedgarciniacambogia.com)
This is probably the oldest brand out there. I have personally witnessed hundreds of amazing body transformations and that is why I am really comfortable recommending it to my family and close friends. This is a really smart choice if you are looking for garcinia cambogia that will transform your body. The only problem is that due to recently being featured on T.V they are often out of stock.
Fact: quality garcinia cambogia supplements have no side effects.
What is the history of garcinia cambogia?
Garcinia cambogia is a small fruit that resembles miniature pumpkins. The fruit is utilized in Pakistand, India, and Sri Lanka, both as medicine and food. The supplement works to suppresses appetite by increasing the levels of certain brain chemicals like serotonin and expedites metabolic processes that produce energy. It acts as a great weight loss supplement and it consist of a compound known as hydroxycitric acid (HCA) which has great anti obesity components.
This supplement originated in India and has been utilized for thousands of years as the dietary supplement. The fruit is now being used across the world as the new revolutionary way to beat hunger, naturally boost energy levels as well as to promote weight loss through appetite control.
Garcinia Cambogia works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain, a natural chemical in the body that controls our moods. When one consumes carbohydrates, amino acid is pulled out of the blood to break down glucose. During the process, the room is created in the brain for the chemicals utilized to create neurotransmitters such as serotonin. The brain ultimately knows that ingesting carbohydrates will trigger these neurotransmitters and offer a feeling of ecstasy for the moment. Garcinia Cambogia enhances serotonin naturally without the need of consuming carbohydrates.
What are the benefits of Garcinia Cambogia?
Although Garcinia Cambogia is primarily utilized for weight loss, the truth is that there are a number of benefits to using this supplement. In fact, it has long been used as a supplement to improve one's general health. The supplement is used both as food and medicine. Below are some of the most common benefits of this famous holy grail of weight loss.
Burns fat
Garcinia Cambogia helps one lose weight by inhibiting the production of citrate lyase, which turns excess carbohydrates into fat. Blocking the citrate lyase causes the body to burn off excess carbohydrates, leaving nothing left to convert into fat. Preventing the formation of fat in the body consistently leads to weight loss. This distinctive ability to burn off unused carbohydrates before they turn into fat gives this supplement a reputation for being a natural fat burner. Obese people do not have to slave away in the gym so as to burn off extra fat when they can include a little Garcinia Cambogia into their diet.
Appetite suppressant
In addition to burning fat, Grainier Cambogia helps one lose weight by suppressing appetite. This is easily accomplished through increased levels of serotonin that Garcinia Cambogia delivers to the brain. Serotonin functions as a neurotransmitter and hormone that regulates most of the functions, encompassing appetite and moods. With more serotonin in the brain, the body is faster to receive signals that tell you when you are full.
You won't be forced to keep ingesting food in order to finish your plate. You will be ingesting less calories over time and, eventually, have less weight. Garcinia Cambogia allows one to lose weight in a healthy manner, so you don't have to cause havoc on your body by starving yourself to get your desired body shape.
Efficient metabolism
Using Garcinia Cambogia as a dietary supplement more frequently will result in an efficient processing of carbohydrates and fat in the body. The glycogen stored in the liver after you have taken a meal will be metabolized rapidly during work out. Carbohydrate that is being processed in the body is converted into glycogen gradually over the course of a couple of hours to a day.
What this means that your body will have ready access to abundant source of energy. Individuals who exercise frequently and use Garcinia Cambogia can sustain high levels of activities for a long time. This will immensely help in weight loss since exercise will start to burn the unused fat that is stored in the body.
Boosts energy
Garcinia Cambogia actually raises serotonin levels of the brain, which aids to even out the moods. The additional benefit of increased serotonin is that one will experience an improvement in mood. This is an efficient way to evade emotional eating, because we sometimes tend to eat for comfort when we are angry, sad, or bored. This weight loss supplement gives us the winning combination of assisting us feel good while also making us look good.
Improves immune system health
Garcinia Cambogia has the ability to boost the immune system and make your body studier. This supplement has been shown to help improve the body's ability to fight diseases. It protects you against disorders like flu symptoms, swelling, colic, and bowel complaints. The supplement is also known to be very useful in helping people with diabetes and those with liver disorders because of its cleansing as well as glucose balancing attributes.
Lowers cholesterol
Studies suggest that the supplement naturally reduces cholesterol levels by minimizing blood lipid levels. Likewise, it has also been proven to increase the production of the HDL cholesterol, which is good cholesterol. The HCA found in this supplement triggers carbohydrates to be turned into glycogen rather than fat. The process inhibits the production of triglycerides and can lower the amount of triglycerides in the body gradually.
So, these are some of the most common benefits ofgarcinia cambogia. It is a proved and tested supplement that you can utilize in order to remain fit and healthy. Using it regularly can benefit you to a great extent and you will also get an opportunity to maintain your body shape. While planning to use this supplement, it is important that you consult your physician before using it. The supplement is available in the form of tablets and pills consulting your doctor will give you a clear understanding of the product.
Side effects
It's safe to say that there haven't been any severe side effects related to garcinia cambogia. Nonetheless, certain groups of people such as expectant or lactating women, children, diabetic people and patients with brain disorders are strongly advised against its usage. HCA can drop blood glucose levels of which can negatively affect diabetic patients and it can also wreck some chemical imbalance in the brain which can negatively affect people who have dementia disorders.

Her Memory.....The Tragedy0 Reviews
Their all gone and i'm all alone how will I fight Cronus. Hera is working on finding new descendents but I don't think she'll find anyone. I can only hope... Okay I have just re-addded this story ...
Chapter 1: Her Memory......The Tragedy
Jay was first, hi basically died from bleeding to death because he was trying to save me, but after Jay, everyone else started to panic.
Then there was Neil, he didn't go out to bad if you include him flying into a tree and coming down and hitting his head on a very big rock. The rock that caused his death.
Archie was next, he was stabbed though the heart by Cronus. Atlanta tried to save him but she couldn't.
When Herry went it was because he was checking up on Jay and didn't see it coming Cronus scythed him though the back.
Atlanta wasn't that bad, she went out fighting with me to many severe cots that's what caused her.
But Odie was a surprise, I don't know what happened to him.I was walking away because I managed to get Cronus to leave.
That day will haunt me forever. Why did I escape why couldn't Jay. I started to cry again. Hera cam over to try and calm me down but she didn't understand. I was meant for Jay doesn't she understand that now I will probably be on my own forever,
A few days later
There's a new kid at school he seems interested in me but I don't care.

Service from our waiter (can't remember his name) but he was GOOD! Really Nice!!! But the didn't I got National Harbor Fried Rice, I didn't like it, based off our waiter recommendation of it made me get, got it and didn't like it. I couldn't taste much seasoning in it as suggested, I just ate the scallops off of the top. But I don't blame my waiter! He was actually great at the end. I would go again but try another dish. :-) The staff we did encounter very pleasant and friendly. Nice place overall!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Ladies are given a perch for their purse, so it does't have to hang from the chair or sit on the floor. Warm hand towels allow each guest to be refreshed, before and after the meal. I even noticed a selection of cheaters (magnifying eyeglasses) in case a guest did not have theirs handy! The menu is diverse, wonderfully fresh, and interesting, both for the mainstream and the more adventuresome taste buds. Prep and presentation are splendid. The only item I tasted that did not 'wow' me was the hot and sour soup...and it was still good. I definitely recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

While there was music playing, they managed to keep it at a level where we could still have a conversation, but it felt very lively and hip. Definitely will go back again!! It was a wonderful dining experience.Special Features:
- Great on all but the food...LosAngeles2DCFoodieVIPDined on 9/13/2014This place can be a complete hit or miss depending on what you're looking for. It has an excellent atmosphere and top notch service, but the food isn't any better than your neighborhood take-out joint. The wine menu, while there were plenty of choices, was also pretty subpar, and the mixed drinks reminded me of college. I couldn't decide if this deserved two or three stars overall because the food was just so "eh." (Disclaimer: we did NOT try the sushi, and I'd be willing to go back to give that a shot. I don't expect that to happen any time soon, though.)Special Features:
- 24annversityDined on 9/13/2014Was a little taken back that I could not order on of your rice dishes as a small side dish as oppose to an entrée. The crème burlee was not custardy nor sweet enough also the top was a light burnt.Special Features:
- Cold atmosphereLuv2DineOutDined on 9/12/2014Server did not have any customer service experience. Food was not worth the $75 for two people. Temperature was so cold, I had to keep my jacket on. 2 spring rolls were $10. That's $5 each... Menu did not read that way.
- LunchBooksDined on 9/12/2014Met business partner for meeting. Restaurant not crowded, seated immediately upstairs by window with great view overlooking water. Not level was very good for conversations. Ordered sushi from extensive selection on menu, trying a couple of the Chef's Special. We were not disappointed! Service was prompt and courteous. Would highly recommend!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Stellar happy hour specials!JJsunshineVIPDined on 9/10/2014I recently attended a meeting at the Gaylord, and afterwards my colleague and I went to Grace's Mandarin to grab a bite. It so happened to be happy hour (with 15 minutes to spare). It worked out great - we were planning to have sushi, and it was 1/2 off for happy hour. The sushi was much better than I expected (I say this because my experience ordering sushi at a Chinese restaurant has typically been abysmal). So, we ordered 5 cut rolls (6 pieces/each), plus salads, and non alcoholic drinks. The total was ridiculously cheap - $32!!! I was pleasantly surprised, even at happy hour! They have great outdoor seating, but we ended up inside on the second floor.Special Features:
- Two thumbs and two toes up!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/10/2014Great attention to detail, in particular picking up on my note in opentable mentioning our celebration of a 40th wedding anniversary and surprising us with a little gift. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dining experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2002Dined on 9/9/2014My colleague and I dined here this week and the food was really great. It was expensive, but we enjoyed everything from the cocktails (Orchid), the special sushi rolls and the whole crispy rockfish was amazing.Special Features:
- The food was very expensivejeffkDined on 9/8/2014The food was average , the service was slow and the staff arrogant
- PatriciaDined on 9/6/2014Restaurant has an enviable location. We were seated on the third floor which is a little claustrophobic. The large group next to our table was very loud. The food marked spicy on the menu was not really spicy at all. Generally, a good experience however and I would return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner with friendsdiningindcDined on 9/6/2014Walked to the Cirque du Soleil show and when the show was over we had reservations at Grace's Mandarin. We were able to walk to the restaurant; had a good meal and good conversation with friends. Great spot on the National Harbor.Special Features:
- Romantic Dinner for 2LuckynLoveDined on 9/6/2014Great location on National Harbor with romantic views of the river and shoreline. Loved the decorations and room layout, we were seated on the 2nd floor in a large circular booth versus table and chairs which turned out great for us as we were able to sit close together and share our meal and sneak in a few hugs and kisses. The food was delicious with a variety of flavors, colors, smells and textures (we had the lobster, scallops and shrimp in the cognac sauce) along with a Mandarin salad and finished with the Mango flavored cake. Coffee was excellent. Waitress was prompt, polite and very friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- it was nice.johndoeDined on 9/5/2014I loved the food. The service was a little slow and our server Apple seemed a little tired. Maybe she had a long day of work. Our waters weren't refilled and I had to get the attention of someone else. It seemed lIke the older guests got more attention than we did. But maybe that's just me. I would definitely come back again though!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- What a memorable experienceLindaDined on 8/30/2014The dining experience and scenic view was spectacular. Our request for a window table to view the fireworks was met. The server was attentive and gave great feedback about the food. My husband and I were indecisive about our entree choice until our server recommended the seabass and Hong Kong xo shrimp. I got the Hong Kong shrimp and let me tell you, it was incredible! So flavorful, which is what I was looking for! It was so good that I was craving for Graces the next day! Now that's what I'm talking about.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Nice food barely survives settingOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/24/2014Three out of four large dishes we had were good to very good. One disappointing. Tables are too small--considering that the to-be-shared large dishes in the menu take up a lot of space And what could have been a spectacular spot is ruined by an over-decorated unsubtle set-up.
- Highly disappointed1hotfoodieVIPDined on 8/24/2014My husband and I are always in search for great Chinese food. That's why when family and friends told us we needed to try Grace's at National Harbor we immediately made our way. My husband ordered the sea bass, I had shrimp fried rice and our kids ordered the shrimp lo mien. Much to our surprise (and disappointment) it was not good! The lo mein was under cooked (for my liking), the sea bass tasted as if it was from a frozen bag while the shrimp fried rice had no taste. THEN, to add insult to injury the waiter brings the bill $98!?!?! We left there disappointed (by the food), shocked (by the bill) and hungry. No plans to returnSpecial Features:
- alexandriajscVIPDined on 8/23/2014Our go-to restaurant at National Harbor. Always great!Special Features:
- Rough Visitpho11Dined on 8/23/2014I think this was my 4th time to GM and have to say it was unfortunately my worst. The waitress didn't come to see us very many times, and the food was mediocre. I know that every once in a while, there is a bad trip, but I wouldn't let this visit stop me from coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A-OkaychibifoodieDined on 8/23/2014Your eyes can't help but be the size of saucers as you intake the insane amounts of red and gold throughout the 2 story restaurant with its overwhelmingly beautiful artsy decor. It's an impressive space with nooks carved out to house larger parties in a seemingly more private settings plus floor to ceiling windows providing a picturesque panorama of National Harbor. The food, they categorize their dishes as small and large plates but the entire menu is considered for single person consumption (usually I think small and large plates equals family-style, not here, so do not be mistaken by the smaller portions, which are pretty spot on by the way). We had quite an array of the menu amongst our party, so I got to nosh a little of everything.Special Features:
- Nothing SpecialfoodfancyVIPDined on 8/20/2014Food and service were fine but nothing special. It's as though Grace's Mandarin is trying to be a bigger and more extravagant PF Chang's but it misses the mark in a big way.Special Features:
- Fabulous dining experience!Luv2dineDined on 8/19/2014This is the place to go if you want a beautiful dining experience. The food is extremely good, cocktails perfect, and the ambiance is amazing. It is a bit pricey, so I would suggest only going on special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very ScenicOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/18/2014Food was good but a bit overpriced. The scenary was great. Service great.Special Features:
- Fits in with the areamartyz3318Dined on 8/16/2014And from me, that's not much of a recommendation. I find the entire of National Harbor to feel as artificial as the "villages" in Walt Disney World. While the service is less cheery (a good thing) and more professional, the prices are the most Disney-esque thing about the restaurant. We had two appetizers, two mains, and a shared dessert. No alcohol. And the bill (with tax and tip) was $85. I can get better value elsewhere.Special Features:
- Amazing Experience!!DrMrsMomDined on 8/15/2014We enjoyed every bite of our food! Our server, Thor, was great! His recommendations were spot on. I ventured out of my comfort zone and was not disappointed. The food came out in good time and looked amazing! Needless to say, Thor gathered a round of empty plates with every course!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good, not as good as anticipatedSandrewDined on 8/13/2014We've been to Grace 3 times prior to this dinner. The food is truly wonderful and ambiance is stunning. The 3 times we were here before, the service was exceptional. This time however, our waiter seemed distracted. We were seated at a table for four (there were 4 of us). There were only 3 place settings and our waiter had to be reminded twice to bring another service. When he did, after the food was served, he unceremoniously handed the silver and chopsticks draped with an unfolded napkin over the food of another guest. I was not offered a second glass of wine although we were there for about 70 minutes. The hot towels (always a special touch) were given without a plate to discard them so we piled them at the end of the table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice spot in the National Harboranooru1Dined on 8/12/2014Took my wife here for an early dinner for her birthday. It was right next to the cirque du soleil show we had tickets for later that evening. The ambience is overall very nice (highlighted by a large golden "Buddah" type statue). Some of the areas looked like they could use some touch up with paint, etc. The service was solid. The food was very good as well (Sushi, shrimp dishes, as well as Singapore rice - sans pork - were all tried). They even gave my wife a set of gift wrapped chop sticks and cookies for her birthday.Special Features:

Highway Safety Division
The OPP is furthering its position as a leader in road safety to ensure safe communities and a secure Ontario. An extensive revamping of the traffic functions is being conducted this year to ensure that the OPP is appropriately positioned to pursue its commitment to meeting the goals of Canada's Road Safety Vision 2010.
What will this mean to Ontarians and those passing through the Province? It will mean an increased visibility of highway patrol officers, a consistent focus on traffic initiatives across the province, raised awareness of road safety issues, and targeted enforcement to high collision areas.
Traffic management strategies implemented over the next two years will certainly position the OPP to respond to the Road Safety Vision through anticipated decreases in motor vehicle collisions fatalities and injuries, decreased injuries through seat belt compliance, and decreased incidents of alcohol and drug related collisions on Ontario highways.

Dueling endorsements: The Youngstown Warren Black Caucus endorsed Youngstown council President Jamael Tito Brown for city mayor over John McNally IV, who received the endorsement of the Mahoning County Democratic Party.
The president of the caucus is Jaladah Aslam, the county party's vice chairwoman of labor relations. She didn't score any points with county Democratic Chairman David Betras when she, and other union officials, backed a Republican-nominated judge last year over the Democratic-endorsed candidate.
Betras tried in late February to change the party's bylaws placing restrictions and penalties on committee members and executive officers who support candidates not endorsed by the party. Party members voted to not consider that proposal and several others.
The caucus is also urging Youngstown voters to reject the charter amendment proposal on the May 7 ballot. In Warren, the caucus endorsed council President Bob Dean, incumbent Councilwoman Cheryl Saffold in the 6th Ward, and Felicia Davis for the open 1st Ward seat.
Matthew Smith, a Democratic candidate for Youngstown mayor, is not a college graduate.
There's nothing wrong with that except he's contended he is a college graduate a number of times until finally admitting earlier this week to The Vindicator editorial board that he isn't.
Smith told the 7th Ward Citizens Coalition, before its members sponsored a March 21 candidates debate, that he had a degree in political science from Youngstown State University. That was included in the debate program.
At the event, Bertram de Souza, Vindicator columnist and editorial writer, asked about the degree. Smith said he went to YSU but graduated from the University of Akron.
Smith then told me last week that he went to Akron, but earned his bachelor's degree in political science from YSU in 1982.
During his endorsement interview, Smith changed his story again claiming he started at YSU and went to Akron.
After being confronted by his repeated contradictions, Smith said he was mistaken.
He said he took classes at both universities and thought that was the same thing as graduating.
What's worse: another lie to cover your previous lies or complete ignorance about knowing what it means to graduate?
Smith also complained about drugs in the city. When further questioned, he admitted he was convicted in December 2002 on a drug-related misdemeanor after initially being charged with felony possession.
Smith said he was unaware that a guy driving him had drugs in his vehicle.
Smith also acknowledged he has a handgun possession conviction, and his explanation is comical.
Smith said he saw a gun on the ground, thought it was a toy, and picked it up. It turns out it was real, though Smith said it was broken, and police arrested him.
"It was stupid," he said of picking up the handgun.
And he wants to be Youngstown's next mayor.
Behind closed doors
On to a different issue of trust, the credibility of Youngstown city officials took a hit this week.
Six of city council's seven members met Monday in private with the Cardinal Mooney High School board of directors at the Catholic school as the bishop considers moving the school out of the city.
City Law Director Anthony Farris, who was in attendance, said he determined it was not open to the public even though a majority of council members were there.
"The public business of Youngstown City Council is legislation," he said. "The council members were not there to deliberate or discuss legislation."
The "interaction" with Mooney wasn't a meeting "as defined by" state law, and thus could be held in private, Farris said.
But David Marburger — an attorney for this newspaper, among others, and considered one of the state's top public record experts — sees it quite differently.
"I have no doubt in my mind that's a public meeting," he said. "It was a prearranged meeting with a majority of council members in attendance. It doesn't matter who called the meeting. I handled a case in the Ohio Supreme Court on something exactly like that and I won it. It's not even a debatable issue. It's a public meeting."
Not one city council member felt strongly enough to refuse to meet privately even though some were hesitant.
I doubt any deals were offered by the city or any big secrets were shared. But closed-door meetings rightfully shake the public's trust.
After these discretions, I doubt that anyone has to worry about Smith 'splitting the black vote". This "minister" has quite obviously been caught in at least 2 lies. Wow.
Don't necessarily think the 8 family members that would have supported Smith really "split" the black vote. Look at previous off year mayoral elections, there will be about 4-5 thousand total cast and they will all come from 5th and 4th wards. If Tito can motivate African American voters could be interesting. He can't but let's just say.
Smith for mayor, Smith for Mayor.
The Cardinal Mooney High incident deserves more investigation .The Law Directors claim that it doesn't matter bcause no decisions were made is rubbish . Read the Auditor of State's 2013 Guide to the Sunshine Laws , which is online.
If the Council passes legislation later which directly affects Cardinal Mooney High , how do we know it wasn't on the basis of understandings canvassed or agreed last Monday ?
Contrast this with a meeting called by Council for small businesspeople at the Newport Library recently . That meeting was in public . You have to ask how much has really changed in Youngstown .
Clearly , as host for the meeting , the school had a reason for wanting the whole Council there & for not wanting the public to know what was said . Bishop Murry & his staff should know better . They should attend the public forum at open Council Meetings like everyone else .
The suspicion over the years that much Youngstown Council business is conducted in secret with cronies is a big reason for the blight in the City , as businesses flee to more transparent municipalities .
Section 109.43 of the Ohio revised Code requires elected officials or their designee official to attend an official Sunshine Laws training seminar at least once in every term of office . They are issued a certificate to prove it . Who was / were the certificate holder(s) last Monday ?

We'd defy anyone to say they don't like Italian food! Delia's recipes cover everything from a dazzling array of pasta dishes through to pizza and such classics as Veal Milanese, Beef in Barolo and Chicken Cacciatora, a recipe that's become a firm favourite at Delia Online.
Linguine with Mussels and Walnut Parsley Pesto
For me, mussels are still a luxury food that cost very little money. I don't think anything can match their exquisite, fresh-from-the-sea flavour. In this recipe every precious drop of mussel juice is used, which gives a lovely, concentrated flavour.
Pistachio Wafers
Serve these pretty little wafers with any ice cream, but particularly pistachio. They can be stored in an airtight tin, giving you plenty of opportunities to indulge!
Slimmers' Wild Mushroom Risotto
This wonderful, oven-baked risotto is a treat for vegetarians and slimmers alike: Delia has unearthed an ingredient that adds creaminess without calories. Bet you can't guess what it is!
Mini Focaccia Bread with Red Onion, Olive and Rosemary Topping
Focaccia is an Italian flat bread made with olive oil. The flavour of the oil is important, so it's advisable to use a good, strong, fruity virgin olive oil for this.
Spinach Gnocchi with Four Cheeses
Little Italian dumplings made from potato, flour and egg are a great vehicle for carrying other flavours. Here, Delia has used spinach and cheese for a vegetarian version, but you can try other variations too.
Pesto Mash
Not East meets West this time, but Italy meets Britain. Take a classic Italian sauce, add it to some mash (without the bangers) and what you have is a wonderful accompaniment to fish.
Green Tagliatelle with Three Cheeses
Ricotta and Gorgonzola make the perfect combination for this dish but, if you can't find ricotta, cottage cheese will make an excellent alternative. This is quick, simple and delicious.
Tagliatelle Toscana
In this recipe the pasta, along with the other ingredients – aubergines, tomatoes, Mozzarella amongst other things – are finished off for a few minutes in the oven.
Tuna and Pasta Salad with Tarragon and Lemon Dressing
If you want a light meal in a hurry, then this will take you barely fifteen minutes from start to finish. If you're extra hungry, I suggest you use 2 oz (50 g) of pasta.
Spaghetti with Mexican Sauce
To make this sauce, you need the other half of the Mixed Double recipe, Cheese and Herb-crusted Cottage Pie (see related recipe below), which will provide you with just the right quantity of cooked minced beef.

Is Coach Martz correct in holding Warner out of the last pre season game ??
-08-29-2001 #2
no no no no no no....
Until deciding to sit him, coach himself said the timing of the offense was off. He shouldn't be in there as long as San Diego, but a series or two would be nice. These guys are pros and i have confidence in them, but removing him isn't a good idea. If the offense had ben doing better in the preseason games i saw i would say sit him, but i don't think he should.
A game i can watch and warner ain't even playin - its ok tho b/c Archuleta is quickly becoming #2 on my listDJRamFan

Yes, absolutely!
Yes, I think it's an excellent strategy. I think it's a smart decision by Coach Martz mainly because of these factors:
a) his broad experience as former offensive coordinator
b) his need of putting Germaine and Bulger through test of fire
c) his honest opinion of Kurt being QB READY now --perhaps an understatement in itself
d) Kurt's possible health status not being truly at 100% (93% [?]). :rolleyes:

I am not to sure if sitting him out is a good idea. Yea he is a great qb but he is also going to be rusty and a game may sharpen him up. Well anyway we will find out against the eagles. Maybe martz is worried about his health and only wants to use him when he really has too.

All in the families
Two new police sgts. carry on dads' legacies
Henrico County Division of Police has long been distinguished by a number of husband-wife and sibling relationships among its officers.
But the July 31 promotional ceremony may well have been one-of a kind, with not one but two father-son pairs of officers in attendance. Of the four police officers being promoted to sergeant, half had fathers that have served as Henrico police supervisors.
Held at the Henrico County Training Center, the ceremony marked Jeffrey S. Quesinberry's promotion from detective to sergeant, and Keith T. deShazo promotion from officer to sergeant.
Between the two new sergeants and their fathers, Retired Command Sergeant Raleigh C. deShazo and Lieutenant Stephen E. Quesinberry, the men share 113 years of police experience between them.
"That makes me really proud," said Steve Quesinberry as the four gathered to reflect on their careers prior to the ceremony. The senior Quesinberry's own father is a retired captain with the Norfolk Police Department, making his son a third generation police supervisor.
"I have two uncles who are also cops, in North Carolina," remarked Steve Quesinberry. "Somewhere I even have a picture of one uncle busting up a still," he added with a laugh.
It's an attitude
While they may have flirted with other careers at some point, all four Quesinberrys and deShazos expressed feelings of having been born to – or at least destined to – pursue police work.
Raleigh deShazo, who hired on with Henrico in 1962, was only the 56th member to join the Division since it had been organized. When he applied, he was working long hours for a soft drink company, and his wife encouraged him to seek police work.
"She's from England, and growing up, she always wanted to be a bobbie," said Raleigh deShazo of his wife.
After unsuccessfully trying out for the Richmond Police Department, and falling an inch short of its height requirement, deShazo went with Henrico.
"That was work," he now says of his former job with the soft drink company. "Then I went to the police department and had fun!"
Five years later, son Keith was born.
Of his early memories of his father's career, the younger deShazo recalls only that "I liked it and respected it. I met a lot of people he worked with, and they seemed to have a bond.
"I liked hanging around dad. At home he was just a normal dad – not a police officer."
Although his growing-up experiences probably predisposed him toward a police career, Keith deShazo said that he spent his last two years of college in a sales job and might easily have continued in that direction.
The idea of applying to the Henrico police force instead, he said, was really a matter of timing: the division announced an upcoming police academy, after going years without one due to hiring freezes.
Trying out for the academy also appealed to him as a challenge, said deShazo. "I had been working since I was 14," he said. "I'd always had a job, and I knew I could get a sales job."
With the police, on the other hand, "I knew I couldn't just walk in the door and get a job," he said.
There's a certain mindset, deShazo went on, that's essential to succeeding in police work. "If you don't want this career, you're not going to make it. Anyone with the police knows that in this profession you're going to make it on your own."
His father nodded his head in agreement. "You have to have an attitude," he said.
'All I've ever wanted to do'
To hear Steve Quesinberry tell it, he could not have avoided a police career if he had tried.
"Police work is all I've ever wanted to do," he said, noting that he grew up hearing his policeman father's stories every day at dinner and breakfast. "Dad would always talk about what happened last night; he always had a story bigger than TV."
On the other hand, said Quesinberry, he didn't want to work in the same place as his father. For the first five years of his career he was a paramedic in Norfolk. Then he came to Richmond to finish his degree at Virginia Commonwealth University, (VCU) with the intention of continuing into the FBI.
"But once I anchored here, I stayed," he said with a smile. "I'm glad this worked out," he said of his years with Henrico County, "because I don't know what else I would've done!"
His son Jeff feels the same way about his career with the police.
"I don't know any other lifestyle," he said. From the time he was seven and his father was running a training academy in the basement of Dabbs House, Jeff Quesinberry said he has felt at home around his dad's colleagues.
"Sometimes my mom would bring my sister and me [to Dabbs House] and we would goof off in the gym; we had a blast running around," he said.
Even the memories from his later, teen-age years didn't dissuade him from the idea of someday entering the police force.
"This was before the days of pagers and cell phones," he said of those years, "and the phone would always ring for my father in the middle of the night. I'd be trying to sleep, and I'd hear this 'thud, thud, thud' as he got up [and went to work]."
But while attending Benedictine High School, Jeff Quesinberry began considering a military career. A visit with a recruiter – who told him that his asthma would keep him out of the service – convinced him that he should stick with his police aspirations. He applied to Henrico County Division of Police before he had even reached the minimum age of 21, and while he was still taking coursework at VCU. But he was hired, the youngest recruit in his academy class by far.
"I didn't think I'd get picked up," he admitted, "because I was so young and hadn't finished my degree."
Shoulder to shoulder
Both younger sergeants agree that their fathers' presence in the division never made any difference in the way they were treated. "No one one ever cut me any slack," said Jeff Quesinberry. "You either cut the mustard [here] or you don't."
In fact, all four fathers and sons say that they have rarely crossed paths at work, either due to working different shifts or different ends of the county.
Steve Quesinberry can recall just one real encounter, when he was called to help break up a large party of about a thousand people that had gotten out of control.
"There were about 40 officers shoulder to shoulder," he said, "and as we lined up I realized that my son was to my right. Well, you don't know what a big crowd like that is going to do. So I told Jeff's mother later that I had my eye on him the whole time.
"Well, my wife said that Jeff said the same thing to her," he said. "'He had his eye on you the whole time!'"
The Deshazos also could recall only a handful of times they interacted at work. But as Keith was working a midnight shift some years ago, he had to arrest a young woman who had gotten too wild at a party. "She was not a big fan of me at all," he said, "and [as we headed to jail] she kept saying, 'I've had enough of you!'
"At the jail, I opened the door, and my dad was standing there. Well, she looked at my name tag, and she looked at his name tag," Keith deShazo said with a chuckle, "and she said, 'I've really had it now! I can't believe there's two of y'all!'"
All four men stressed that, in their line of work, support from spouses and family members is more important than in most jobs. Fortunately, said Keith deShazo, "My mom loves [the police]. I don't know anyone who loves it more than her."
"You've got to have the support of your spouse in this work," agreed his father, "because if you have children, [spouses] bring them up. When I started, we worked 60-hour weeks, including evenings and midnights. You were gone."
Jeff Quesinberry said his mother often jokes about the family choice of career, but she is proud just the same. "She gives Dad a hard time all the time," he said with a laugh. "She thinks I went in [the force] because of all his war stories." As for fatherly pride, just ask Steve Quesinberry what he thinks about his son's success and recent promotion.
"To look at Jeff – and I know Raleigh feels the same way about Keith -- it's like we're on the same baseball team," said Quesinberry. "He plays good, I play good.
"And now it's like he just hit one out of the park, and I'm going to go sit on the bench a few minutes and just watch him play. "
Also recognized at the July 31 ceremony were Anthony T. Dowdy, promoted to lieutenant; Animal Protection Officer Brandon N. Bohr, promoted to Animal Protection sergeant; and Detective Charles E. Hanna, promoted to sergeant.

No one responsible for investing millions of public dollars to upgrade the University of Massachusetts Amherst football program and move the team's home games to Gillette Stadium saw this coming. When the Minutemen played their first homecoming game in Foxborough — a 24-0 loss in October to Bowling Green — they drew a crowd of only 10,846 to the 68,756-seat stadium.
The sea of empty seats was especially stunning because the Minutemen had been accustomed to nearly packing their campus stadium for homecoming games. Over the previous five years, they had played before average crowds of 13,937 at the 17,000-seat McGuirk Alumni Stadium, on the UMass Amherst campus.

Crystal Structure of D. Discoideum Actin-Gelsolin Segment 1 Complex Crystallized In Presence Of Lithium ATP
The structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Dictyostelium, and Caenorhabditis elegans actin bound to gelsolin segment-1 have been solved and refined at resolutions between 1.9 and 1.75 A. These structures reveal several features relevant to the ATP hydrolytic mechanism, including identification of the nucleophilic water and the roles of Gln-137 and His-161 in positioning and activating the catalytic water, respectively. The involvement of these residues in the catalytic mechanism is consistent with yeast genetics studies. This work highlights both structural and mechanistic similarities with the small and trimeric G proteins and restricts the types of mechanisms responsible for the considerable enhancement of ATP hydrolysis associated with actin polymerization. The conservation of functionalities involved in nucleotide binding and catalysis also provide insights into the mechanistic features of members of the family of actin-related proteins.

[GELS_HUMAN] Defects in GSN are the cause of amyloidosis type 5 (AMYL5) [MIM:105120]; also known as familial amyloidosis Finnish type. AMYL5 is a hereditary generalized amyloidosis due to gelsolin amyloid deposition. It is typically characterized by cranial neuropathy and lattice corneal dystrophy. Most patients have modest involvement of internal organs, but severe systemic disease can develop in some individuals causing peripheral polyneuropathy, amyloid cardiomyopathy, and nephrotic syndrome leading to renal failure.[1][2][3][4]
[GELS_HUMAN] Calcium-regulated, actin-modulating protein that binds to the plus (or barbed) ends of actin monomers or filaments, preventing monomer exchange (end-blocking or capping). It can promote the assembly of monomers into filaments (nucleation) as well as sever filaments already formed. Plays a role in ciliogenesis.[5]

It's an okay moisturizer, I think it would work better for people who have oily/combination/normal skin.
Recently my skin has become somewhat dry so I started using this several weeks ago. I don't think I'll repurchase. If anything I feel like it's too harsh for my skin so it's exacerbating problems rather than fixing them. I think it could be good product for other people and the price is great, just think about your skin type prior to purchase.
This stuff is great. It got rid on the lines beneath my eyes but I'll definately stop using it all over me face though, I have very oily skin and this stuff only makes it even more shiny. I'll continue to use and buy it but just for the smaller areas.
I bought this as a short term use night cream when I ran out of my usual, much more expensive brand and was awaiting a new delivery. I didn't expect much for the price (a massive £2 from Aldi!) but I was pretty impressed with some of the ingredients (retinol for one). I have to say this night cream is very effective. It has a lovely rich texture and despite the fact it contains some perfume, this doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. It provides excellent moisturisation without feeling greasy. For the price, this is an excellent choice if you are on a budget as it is one of the better creams I have used in this price range.

After my Mum almost got tricked into paying $180 for an anti-wrinkle cream at a local show, I dragged her away from the sales assistant and told her to leave it with me.
Much research lead me to this cheap-as-chips Aldi brand cream and what a gem! I have only been using this for just under 3 weeks but I am noticing some subtle changes already. I was a little too heavy-handed the first few days and I noticed a few little pimples forming so I just concentrate around my areas of concern now (around my eyes, outer corners of lips, between my eyebrows.) My skin tone is evening out and the fine lines in those problem areas seem to be slightly less noticable. My Mum has no problems with any breakouts, so she just lathers up and has had a similar result (she's inlove.)
I'm curious if there has been a formula change in terms of fragrance since first being released as I don't notice any particularly strong smell, contrary to some previous reviews.
My only concern with the packaging is that I understand Retinol can lose it's effectiveness when exposed to light so perhaps an opaque pump dispenser would be more practical than the current glass jar.
I am very interested to see how this performs long-term! My Mum, myself and now my Nana aswell will definitely be repurchasing this!
I stumbled across this in my local Aldi (seems to be in a red jar in Oz). For $AU4 is seems to be perfect! Rich & moisturising but not oily. Smells nice and soaks in quickly. No breakouts at all and I definitely feel my skin looks better already (I'm about the start 2nd jar of this). I use nightly so one jar has lasted about 2 months. Ingredients seem typical of similar other brands and I am reassured by it being made in Germany. I doubt it's the holy grail of night creams but I would definitely recommend it to others as an alternative to the ridiculously expensive stuff out there.

Have been using this for over a week, feels good, has helped my dry skin. Smells nice. Have yet to see if this has any effect on my wrinkles.

Absolutely love this. It is a very light cream, definitely has fragrance, but doesn't irritate my fairly sensitive skin at all. I use it faithfully and use the day cream every morning. No dry patches to be found on this face and I've had more than one compliment on how young I look (turned 50 this year). Definitely worth a try, ladies. I buy it at Aldi for $4 a jar. Serious bargain!!

Well - most pleasantly surprised by this :) Yes its inexpensive; yes it is HIGHLY fragranced; yes, my skin loves it = nicely moisturized w/out being greasy/heavy, but not too light either. Does it work as well as say Avene Eluage? Based upon ingredients alone, it can't. (Research difference between retinaldehyde in Eluage vs retinol in Lacura= there is a great article on skinacea.com and no I am not affiliated). But it certainly is much better that not using any retinol product at all and when I compared w/ say Neutrogena''s products, this worked as well and is WAAAAYYY cheaper.
I will definitely keep this in my regular rotation and alternate between this and Avene = nice cost savings vs using my Avene every or every other night.
Also, I HATE the glass jar, but I can overlook that for the product and the price :)

I like this as a moisturizer.
It is very hydrating yet not greasy and i find it sinks in quickly. I also enjoy the soft scent. I really don't feel like this has many anti aging benefits.
It has not improved any soft fine lines or brightened my face or anything. I just think this is a very nice moisturizer, but if your looking to fight signs of aging look elsewhere.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have very dry sensitive skin, but still break out with a lot of products, especially cheaper ones that use mineral oil. This is not a holy grail product for my extra dry skin, as frankly, my skin felt tight and dry in the morning after using it alone. By day two it was seriously dry and tight and itchy, even with a serum underneath. I think this would be a great product if you have normal skin or are 30-40, but it did not work for me at all. ON the plus side, it did NOT break me out, so if you have normal to normal/dry skin I'd try it.
