text: Despite Exemptions, Coverage Requirements Still Impede Access to Limited Medical Plans By Stephen Miller 11/9/2010 Nearly 70 percent of U.S. chain restaurant employers indicate that hourly employees are eligible for limited medical plans and that less than 25 percent contribute toward plan costs, according to a 2010 survey by the consultancy Hay Group and the Chain Restaurant Compensation Association (CRCA), a trade association. A health care reform condition set to be enforced in 2011 will require insurers of these so-called "mini-med" plans to spend 80 to 85 percent of premiums on medical benefits instead of overhead expenses, a limit that CRCA says most plans in the industry do not meet—despite highly publicized temporary waivers given by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to a number of large restaurant chains (see the SHRM Online article "Waivers of Annual Limits Requirements Defended"). "Limited medical plans offer low-cost coverage to part-time and full-time hourly workers who otherwise might not be able to afford coverage at all. However, employees' access to limited medical plans may be in danger with health care reform mandates on the horizon, as the coverage is unlikely to meet the minimum standards of acceptable coverage," said John Hennessy, principal and Western Region benefits practice leader for Hay Group. Among the findings of a September 2010 Hay Group survey of CRCA members, focusing on health care reform's impact on the use of limited medical plans: • 77 percent of surveyed employers are considering reducing the hours of their hourly workforce to change employees' status from full time to part time in response to reform mandates. • 54 percent of employers are considering eliminating limited medical plans for their hourly workforce entirely. • 67 percent of employers are still considering making no changes in 2011 and will likely apply for waivers. While employers that continue to offer these plans can apply for a waiver from the restricted annual limits for the plan year beginning Sept. 23, 2010, there is no guarantee that the waiver process will be extended. "Eventually, there's going to be a reckoning," said Hennessy. "Chain restaurants aren't in the position to provide comprehensive coverage to their full-time hourly employees at a price employees can afford, and when these requirements set in, thousands may lose access to health insurance coverage entirely."

Let's learn about legal process mappingWritten by Stephen Mabey
At the risk of getting stomped, bitten, or kicked, I think it is important to start 2014 off by putting the horse before the cart. I apologize upfront for bursting the bubble of all those souls who have spent the last couple years espousing that the greatest issue facing law firms is their structure.

What not to do in the war on drugsWritten by Damian J. Penny
Just after midnight on Jan. 1, a former U.S. Marine named Sean Azzariti made history by becoming the first person in the world to legally buy marijuana for recreational use. Azzariti, who served in Iraq and claims the weed helps relieve his post-traumatic stress disorder, made his purchase just as a new law allowing its licensing and sale in Colorado came into force.

Here's to using decision trees in the new yearWritten by Ben Hanuka
If your New Year's resolution is to work smarter, more efficiently, and achieve more, boy do I have an interesting concept to share with you. While I can't help with the diet or workout resolutions you committed to while sipping sparkling wine right after the New Year's Eve countdown, I may perhaps convince you to start thinking about using "decision trees" in your practice. It is an old idea, but, I suspect, a greatly underutilized one.

Preferable procedure: A two-part analysis of A2JWritten by Margaret L. Waddell
Determining how to meet or defeat the test for "preferable procedure" on a certification motion has been an enigmatic problem. Until the Supreme Court of Canada last month clearly articulated that access to justice involves a two-part analysis in Fischer v. AIC Ltd., there was no consistent measure by which this part of the preferability test would be analyzed.

A few year-end thoughts about not being frozen in the darkWritten by Tony Wilson
As I hastily write this from warm, tropical Cabo San Lucas, there are 14 e-mails in my inbox from friends and colleagues from Toronto telling me about the Great Ice Storm that covered the city and the fact they've all been without power for 75 hours. Some checked into nearby hotels for Christmas, presumably hotels with enough power to warm them up, give them light, and cook a turkey. I can only imagine what Stuart McLean will do to update "Dave Cooks A Turkey" when he does his Christmas story for 2014.

The benefits of giving backWritten by Lindsay Scott
December brings to my mind plenty of food, time for family and friends, and the season of giving.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- No changes were made to Wausau's new alcohol sober server ordinance. There was plenty of discussion, but in the end, it was a vote of 7-2 in favor of leaving the requirement for servers to be below point-04.
Alderperson Sherry Abitz believes leaving the ordinance at point-04 is the right thing to do. "How can you really make a sane decision on if there's illegal activities going on, somebody has a gun, somebody has a knife, somebody is a minor, somebody's causing a ruckus, and that you're really able to resolve those situations if you are close to a point-eight?"
Alderman Keene Winters believes the city should not be setting tougher standards for alcohol than the state. "The standard in the state is point-08, and so we're going to be saying to people, you're standing here, and if you go into the bar and the bartender blows a point-05, we're going to say to them, 'You're too drunk to stand behind that bar, please get in your car and drive home' because that will be perfectly legal, and that makes no sense to me. When you have that kind of inconsistency, I think we invite a legal challenge to this."
Council President Lisa Rasmussen says people support the sober server ordinance for different reasons, but for her, it's just one thing: safety. "This is 100% about safety. It's not about social change. It's not about the uphill battle about over-consumption or over-serving, because we've all fought that battle too, in here and in committee. This is about this activity taking place in a safe setting and making sure that it's done properly and that the people doing it are able to make rational and sound decisions. That's all it's about for me."
The motion to change the allowable level for servers to point-08 was offered by Romey Wagner and seconded by Keene Winters. They were the only two votes supporting the change, so the ordinance stands as originally written.

TUESDAY, Sept. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Vaccine compliance at ages 11 to 12 years has increased among children, but they often do not receive all indicated vaccines during vaccination visits, according to a study published in the September issue of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
Shannon Stokley, M.P.H., from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, and colleagues examined vaccination coverage at selected ages and by birth cohort, and assessed whether all indicated vaccines were administered during vaccination visits in 20,066 adolescents aged 13 to 17 years. Vaccination histories were collected from the National Immunization Survey-Teen 2009 telephone interviews.
The investigators found that most adolescents had received childhood vaccines by age 11 years. At ages 11 to 12 years, receipt of a tetanus-diphtheria and/or tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine increased significantly from the 1991 to 1996 birth cohort (33.8 versus 68.2 percent); and receipt of the meningococcal-containing vaccine increased from the 1993 to 1996 birth cohort (8.4 versus 50.0 percent). There was also a significant increase in girls receiving the human papillomavirus vaccine from the 1994 to 1996 birth cohort (11.1 versus 30.5 percent). Among adolescents eligible for vaccination and who made a vaccination visit at ages 11 to 12 years, 19.5 percent did not receive tetanus-diphtheria and/or tetanus diphtheria-acellular pertussis, 62.4 percent did not receive the human papillomavirus, and 60.9 percent did not receive the meningococcal-containing vaccines.
"Receipt of vaccines at the recommended ages of 11 to 12 years appears to be increasing; however, providers often do not administer all indicated vaccines during a vaccination visit," the authors write.

Is Your Phone Smarter Than You? [poll]
Nearly half of American Adults are now Smartphone Owners. That's up 11% over last may. Your Morning Crew wants to know which Smartphone do you own?
Nearly half of American Adults are now Smartphone Owners. That's up 11% over last may. Your Morning Crew wants to know which Smartphone do you own?
While Wednesday's roll-out of the new generation of Apple's iPad didn't have quite the fanfare of prior events helmed by the company's late co-founder, Steve Jobs, that doesn't mean people weren't paying attention.
Here's a quick rundown of the announcement.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) says wireless resources are not infinite.
In fact, the smartphones to which we're all so addicted are gobbling so much bandwidth that as early as next year, we could be paying more for our service — not to mention seeing slower data speeds and an increase in dropped calls.
A new Nielsen poll finds smartphones are becoming less of a luxury and more of a so-called necessity — at least for younger people.
Unless you have a lot of spare time on your hands and enjoy reading privacy policies and terms of use, there are probably many things about Facebook that you aren't aware of. Here are ten things you probably didn't know about the agreement between you (the user) and Facebook.
There are people who love Facebook and people who love Twitter — and now scientists think they've discovered why those preferences exist, and what they say about the people who hold them.
What makes cell phones so great — and so terrible — is that you can take them just about anywhere — even the bathroom.
It took about three months, but 106 dedicated fans of the game Fronterville have posted over one million comments on a single Facebook post, setting what they believe is a Guinness World record.
It may sound crazy, but a new type of phone case designed by car manufacturer Nissan can actually repair itself. Finally, we can drop our phone without completely freaking out.
Have you checked out the new radioPup 2.0? The same mobile app that lets you listen to KLAW 101 anywhere you go now includes the latest posts, videos, and pictures from our website; up-to-date weather forecasts; and commenting with Facebook.
If you're one of the millions of shoe fanatics who shop on Zappos.com, you may want to change your site password — the company says it's fallen victim to hackers who've accessed consumers' personal information.

Gentry, Hollins next to interview for Cavaliers coaching spotJason Lloyd, Akron Beacon Journal
The Cleveland Cavaliers' coaching search is growing old. As in, the latest two candidates to interview are far more experienced than the first two.
Alvin Gentry, 59, spent Friday interviewing with team officials.
Lionel Hollins, 60, is expected to follow over the weekend.
Gentry was fired by the Phoenix Suns halfway through last season and spent this season as an assistant to Doc Rivers with the Los Angeles Clippers. He has been a head coach four times, including once as an interim, and is familiar to Cavs owner Dan Gilbert because he coached the Detroit Pistons in the late 1990s. He finished a season with a winning record twice in his career and took the Phoenix Suns to the Western Conference finals in 2010 after winning 54 games in the regular season.
Gentry and Cavs general manager David Griffin are extremely familiar with each other from their time together with the Sunsm and Gentry has been considered one of the favorites for the job since Mike Brown was fired.
Gentry has also been tied to the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers openings this summer.
Hollins, 60, is well regarded in coaching circles, but he isn't known as being a good communicator. He is a crusty veteran who was known to bristle at input from the front office and ownership of the Memphis Grizzlies, which in part expedited his removal as coach.
Hollins guided the Grizzlies to a franchise-record 56 wins last season and a berth in the Western Conference finals, yet his contract wasn't renewed after a fallout with former Grizzlies CEO Jason Levien, who himself was recently fired by the Grizzlies.
Gentry and Hollins are the third and fourth candidates to interview for the Cavs job, following Adrian Griffin and Tyronn Lue.

The Saint leaves star Val Kilmer and director Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games) fighting to enliven an exhausted character. show more
Edward Guthmann San Francisco Chronicle
Kilmer dons 12 disguises in all, polishes them with impeccable accents and pliable postures and gives a performance that's far and away the best aspect of the diverting The Saint. show more
Liam Lacey The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
More entertaining than Mission: Impossible or the last Bond film, Goldeneye, it brings back the humour and sang-froid that makes the genre work. show more
James Berardinelli ReelViews
The Saint is more of a character-based thriller than a strict stunts-and-explosions film, which is a good thing because the action sequences are mostly flat and obligatory. Even when he generates a degree of tension, director Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger) is unable to sustain it, and the disappointing ending is not only long and drawn out, but lacks a sense of closure. show more
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times
Compared with the sensational stunts and special effects in the Bond series, The Saint seems positively leisurely. The fight scenes go on too long and are not interesting, the villains aren't single-minded enough, and the Saint seems more like a disguise fetishist than a formidable international operative. show more
David Sterritt Christian Science Monitor
Val Kilmer is fun as the mercurial hero, and Elisabeth Shue would be great as the physicist if she didn't waste so much time making googoo-eyes at her handsome new boyfriend. show more
Barbara Shulgasser San Francisco Examiner
While the original conception of The Saint gave us a debonair, sophisticated and roguish detective, the new movie, directed stiffly by Phillip Noyce ( "Clear and Present Danger" ), gives us Val Kilmer as a greedy high-tech daredevil thief with the moves of Batman, the clunky disguises of Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible" and the morals of an alley cat. show more
There's no lack of style or pace from Noyce, just the sense that it isn't quite gelling together. show more
Maitland McDonagh TV Guide
Kilmer slips in and out of a series of ludicrously elaborate disguises, some more convincing than others, while poor Shue shuffles through the role of a sexy, book-reading babe pretending to be a dowdy lady scientist in kneesocks. show more

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. Rick Perry is denying he has sleep apnea after the diagnosis was revealed in a reporter's diary from a failed presidential campaign marked by several notable flubs.
Perry said Thursday he was misdiagnosed with the condition during the campaign. It was recently disclosed in the e-book "Oops!" by Texas Tribune reporter Jay Root.
Perry's most notable misstep was his "Oops" comment during a televised debate when he couldn't recall which three federal agencies he wanted to eliminate.
Perry said Thursday doctors considered sleep apnea as a potential cause of his sleepless nights. Perry tried sleeping with a special mask, but said it didn't work.
Perry had back surgery before the campaign and says now he was kept awake by a nerve issue in his foot.

ROUND #252: Winged Megamouth
ROUND#252 - Winged Megamouth
This week is another randomly generated topic. It's been awhile since we've gone up in the air with some winged creatures. As for megamouth, in the megamouth shark it keeps its mouth open constantly, filtering out food from water. Your creature need not necessarily have this exact quality, but the mouth should feature prominently in the design, and should be featured open, in the final drawing.
Requirements this Week:
- The creature must have functional wings
- The creature must have it's mouth as a prominent feature of its design
- The creature's mouth must be illustrated open
March 21st 9:00pm PST (GMT -8 )

Never participated in a C.O.W before, I'm in.
And somewhere along the line, she came down with a serious case of dead.
This one looks so cool. I probably won't have time to do another until next month, but damn this week's topic sounds really appealing. I look forward to what everyone comes up with.
I think I'm in much the same state. After my rushed one last week, I'm going to wait until I have less projects so I can really sink myself into the contest. Maybe I'll do a few sketches for funsies.
I always look forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with!
I also hope, I will have some time this week... Have fun everyone!
Sounds fun And, I've got the perfect refsite for this:
Just shittons of pictures of animals with their mouths open. Oddly specific but kinda useful in this case

I don't have much time this week either, but I figured I just start straight away and maybe get something done this round.
So here is the first thing that came to mind.
It's supposed to be a megamouths shark like thing, that gobbels up entire clouds and filters any lifeforms in the cloud droplets out for sustenance.
The beast is filled with gas, leaves trails of water and or cloudvapor behind (chemtrails lol) and does swallow the occasional bird or insect that just happens to fly into its mouth.
Any comments/crits appreciated.

hey everyone! im gonna have a go at this even if its just a few WIPs. my scanner wasnt working so i didnt post my WIPs last week....is there anywhere i can post them? just for the sake of sharing. ok, keep up the good work.
one question: does this creature need to be enormous? or is it enough that his mouth is enormous in proportion to the rest of it body?
Last edited by Totemiks; March 15th, 2012 at 12:43 PM.
Awesome topic =)
Harmageddon, nice start, i really dig your idea with the gas-filled creature, just keep in mind that it must have functional wings
Pixeltuner, great start, reminded me a bit of the old Gargoyles series=)
Totemiks, i think the creature can have any size.
Some first quick fishy sketches to get started...
Whilst we're at it I may as well post some sketches I've been working on.
Been testing out the idea of creatures based primarily in the sea, so mostly manta rays, whales etc. Also been looking at Tunnel worms and other various fantasy folk with less than gentlemanly maws.
The Sarcastic Fringhead - My main inspiration for the mouth so far.
I have to ask, does fully functioning wings necessarily mean used for propulsion, or can they be used mainly as a form of aerodynamics. See my idea for my flying creature with a rather large bulk; held aloft by air sacs like Harmageddon, (hence some of the sketches) with a ravenous maw for chewing on mountaintops to keep his bouyancy in check with it's primary foodsource being electricty from storms. A bit convoluted I know but I'm hoping it'll turn out alright in the end.
Anyway I'll carry on with it later. Crits so far I'd have to say,
Harmageddon: Liking the design, but I have to agree with Mhugo it feels like the creature is falling down instead of flying, perhaps it's perspective coupled with teeny wings. I'd loveto see what you come up with.
Pixeltuner: Nice sketch my only real nagging thought would be the weight campared to the wings, I doubt they could hold up it's bulk and they seem like they're missing a lot of skin
Your wings remind me of a bats, notice how the skin on them stretches down to the actual legs in order to get as much wind behind it's wings as possible, as well as skin from their hands to their shoulder.
Mhugo: Once again thoroughly impressed with your designs. Have to admit the top one is my current favourite, looking forward to seeing more
Woo my first attempt at a COW. I love these challenges already.
So this is my wip. I am having some trouble with the 'functioning wings'. Because i am no expert but i think that the bigger a creature is, the bigger the wings need to be in proportion to the body, in order to make it fly. Does anyone else know? Anyway i looked at albatros wings and went from there. But if i am right, that means that if my Megamouth is huge then the wings need to be huuuuuuge. Right?
Also i really like the sketches so far!
Any critique is very welcome! I am here to learn! Thank you!

Just bunch of really quick sketches(3-5 mins for each one), I haven't even looked to any refs
Nice stuff Chaos I particularly like the bottom left one, as it seems to have the best weight spread of the lot
Another update. Having chosen a style of creature I'm trying to portray it chasing a flying airship of sorts, because it feeds on electricity it has conductors raise on it's back, and I think I've got the wings to work after much hassle.
Yaaay sky critters.
Tchuk: Yeah they're kind of batwings but I haven't properly looked at ref for how the skin attaches and such

^ does this count?
Just kidding. Nice sketches, people. Mhugo, your designs are by far the best so far. If you could merge the mouth from the one on the right with the shape/wings of the one on the bottom I think you would come out with something really REALLY cool.
Good luck people!
Last edited by aburnier; March 15th, 2012 at 10:03 PM.
A few crits...
Harmageddon: Nice start but taking a closer look at your lighting it seems as if the shadows and highlights in the mouth area should be flipped around. I would also recommend toning down the bright pink in the mouth as well. Good luck!
Pixeltuner: Cute creature. Not much to say this early on. My only advice would be to keep an eye on your anatomy.
Mhugo: Awesome sketches. You have an amazing imagination. I really love the bottom design. It's just really different and fun to look at. Can't wait to see which design you go with!
Tchuk: I think this could turn out cool if you watch your values and define your creature a bit more before diving into the paint job.
AdamStolterman: Good luck on your first COW! That's not nessacarely true about the wings having to be huge. You're back story could be that it lives on a planet with low gravity or that it's a winged underwater creature. Worry about getting that "cool" factor down in your design first and then think about the functionality. By the way, cool creature so far!
ChaosTheory: You have some nice ideas going on. Personally I'd like to see you work on the bottom right more. I like the head on him.
ENNEX: I think with this week's topic that the mouth on your creature needs to be exposed to the viewer a bit more. Maybe a more forward facing pose or just twisting its body would help to show more of the mouth. Just a thought, plus there's still plenty of time.
Here's a wip shot of my design so far. Any crits would be welcome!
Very interesting designs so far... i'm gonna run with this sketch, see what happens.
I'll work some more on my critter tomorrow.
Thanks for the comments/crits so far. You guys are good at this.
Mhugo: thanks! I will think about wings. Actually when I posted it I reread the brief and thought: crap.
I wanted to give it many tiny wings, like musquito wings. So that it would sound like a swarm of musquitos when it flies past.
I will see what I can do.
Tchuck: agreed; I did not think about the "timber!" feel it would convey.
I was more concerned with the beast snaking past, when one would look from an aeroplane.
I'll think about it. Thanks!
sozo: thanks, I think you are right about the lighting. And the mouth.
That is quite the struggle for me, but I will do what I can (and time permits)
Some crits/comments
Pixeltuner: nice start! I like the antlers for eyes.
The mouth might even be bigger I think. The colours are great.
Curious to see where you will take this. As sozo said: anatomy. Make it grrreat!
Mhugo: I like your style: very clean, nice drawings. I like the top and right ones the best so far.
Whatever you will go for, I'm sure it will be awesome!
Tchuck: I like the topright and bottomleft ones the most. Curious to see what you will go for. Make it great!
AdamStolterman: Nice design! I like the weird eel like head and the tripod tail.
Wings are proportionally bigger (as with albatross) if the creature is bigger.
Of course, you could also have your creature fly in the thick atmosphere of Zeta IX in the Pegasus cluster of stars,
where gas filled bladders (like in fish) keep them basically buoyant and wings are only needed to change direction.
ChaosTheory: LOL I like the idea of basically just a head with wings. This makes the mouth a very prominent feature in the design
Curious to see which one you will go with. Make it great!
Tchuck: I can see your creature gracing the cover of vogue one day
You might want to make the mouth more prominent in the design though. Now it reads more like the frilled flying thing.
Other than that, I like the energy you convey with your piece.
ENNEX: your creature is also gas-filled I think?
It looks to me as if the light is coming from the background, so the creature in front would be more of a silhouette.
Also you might want to think about how the tentacled arms attach to the body; with muscles?
Are there bones in the tentacled arms?
Other than that, nice design and composition.
sozo: I like it; looks like a sort of flying shrimp I think it needs an even bigger mouth though.
bara: interesting , not much to say about it yet Make it great!
Totemiks: you ask where you can put your WIPs to previous Creature of the Week contests? How about you open a sketchbook?

Another update, decided to change the wings and tail to something better resembling a manta ray. As well as englarging the mouth, adding some ferocious extra jaws to the mix and giving it a better decorative headdress. I've also moved the air sacs to behind said headdress and some supporting ones along the underside, it's just a quick thing so please excuse the mess, I'll clean up when I'm happy with a design... maybe I need to add some legs.
Bara: Loving this so far, a really interesting jaw and some lovely painting, I'd say have a look at it's left wing because it just feels like it's somewhat limp compared to the one on your beasts right. Also your colours seem a little cool, I'd love to see it with a bit of green or red tinged in the background with the clouds etc, might really make it stand out.
Pixeltuner: MUCH better Pixel the wings definitely support it well now and again great painting. Not sure about the eye on the left, feels like it should be less visible, like behind it's brow a bit more than it is currently. Other than that I'm looking forward to seeing the rest
Sozo: Just, wow. Very,very nice. Reminds me of a flying Ultralisk from Starcraft but I can imagine it being a skyfilling horror. I can't wait to see how you continue with this.
and another update

OK, it's been a while since I tried one of these, hopefully I'll actually finish this one.
Some nice stuff going on in here already, the first thing that came to my head was a critteresque creature http://imgc.allpostersimages.com/ima...oster-1985.jpg with wings so I was surprised to see so many sea creature influenced creations....I like it

I have been using this cleanser for a few years now and I cannot sing it's praises highly enough. I have a hypersensitive skin that hates most things, but it tolerates this lovely product really well. It was recommended to be by a Dermatologist who said that she recommends this cleanser to patients who have had procedures and for Rosacea clients - that's how gentle it is. Saying that, it also easily removes eye make up and stubborn mascara easily. I would never just "wipe off" a cleanser with a tissue - logic tells me that you will have cleanser and make up left on your face. I do wash this off as I would any other cleanser (I don't believe in wipes for the same reason, but I digress). I think it's a very compatible price considering it's more of a specialist product. I also use the Toleriane Riche moisturiser which is great.
My sensitive skin is very particular with skin care and it seems to gravitate towards La Rochy Posay products. A cosmetician did tell me that her clients who like LRP really dislike or cannot use Avene products and vice versa. I think she's right because Avene products don't really work for my skin as well as LRP products do.
I have rosacea and that rules out any foaming cleansers so I need to use milky type cleansers. Unfortunately this type of cleanser doesn't remove makeup as well as the foaming or gel cleansers but it's a trade off. The foaming and gel cleansers aggravate my rosacea and dry out my skin so it's a no brainer for me.
The Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser is great for my normal/combo skin and I agree with other reviewers about having to use it twice to remove makeup completely. I use The Body Shop's Muslin cloth to help with makeup removal.
My skin feels clean but not stripped or dry. A lot of people at work have been complimenting on my skin as of late so it's doing something right.
I've added this cleanser to my skin care regime. It's not exactly inexpensive at $24 CAD but my favourite drugstore has regular specials or sales on this line so I'll nab an extra bottle when I can.
I love how short the ingredient list is, and I love the fact that there's no mineral oil in it. Most makeup removers from brands like Vichy, Avene, LRP...etc. contain high amount of mineral oil, while the jury is still out as to whether mineral oil is harmful to human skin or not, I personally prefer not to use any products with mineral oil in it. (A lot of moisturizers from LRP also contain mineral oil.)
I always buy the 400ml bottle, it's a lot more economical and it comes with a pump. To be on the safe side, I usually use quite a lot of it everytime, at least until the tissues come out completely clear. It doesn't remove heavy eye makeup easily, but with some persistence, it does leave you with a completely clean face. I always put a bit of Cicaplast on my skin afterwards, otherwise my skin can feel a bit on the dry side.
It's a milky white fluid with minimal scent, and some days it feels really soothing when I start rubbing it on my face. It's the feeling of "Finally, my skin and I can rest for the day."
Bought this after reading a review from beautypedia saying that this is good for sensitive skin. Used it one time, got red spots, bumps, break-outs and red areas all over my face. On places I normally have great skin. Used it again last night, woke up this morning with the same problem. I used it together with clinique clarifying lotion mild which has never given me problems before. So I say: save your money.. and your skin!
One of my my favourite cleansers! I have oily (but dehydrated), acne-prone skin. In the past, I would regularly purchase acne fighting cleansers (usually gel, foaming cleansers). I didn't realise at the time, that many of them stripped my skin and left it more dehydrated, in which my skin retaliated by producing more oil.
When applying this cleanser it feels so smooth and light-weight, it isn't a foaming face wash but it still leaves my skin very clean, and also hydrated. Since the first use, I have not experienced any redness or irritation. It's been just over a month of me using this cleanser, and I can confidently say my skin is looking and feeling great. Softer, smoother, and hydrated. Will definitely repurchase!

What's great about it: it's milky, it's soft, it clears the pores well, it doesn't strip and it doesn't break me out.
This product isn't perfect, but it's the best thing I've found for my skin so far. It seems to leave a hydrating layer behind - I found that annoying at first, but I've grown to appreciate it since. It doesn't do a great job with taking off heavy duty eye makeup, which is why I kept looking after I found it, but a dedicated remover takes care of that.
I have been using this product for the past one year for removing makeup only. It was recommended by my skin doctor and I was glad she introduced this together with another cleanser from the La Roche Posay. It was a gentle cleanser that doesn't make me feel oily and sticky. However, I will still usually follow up with the cleanser to make sure no makeup traces leaves on my skin overnight. It is pretty pricey and would normally stock up whenever there is sale, especially each bottle would last me a month...
I have rosacea and was really excited when I found a line that had great reviews for sensitive skin. I was so disapointed when I tried this specific product out. Now this product didnt do anything negative to my face, like cause my redness or flare up or breakout BUT it leaves this weird film texture behind almost like you didnt rinse the product off. It says that it is supposed to help remove make up IT DOES'T all it does is push your makeup around on your face and leave behind residue. I would suggest if you buy this use this only in the morning when you have no make up but to me it was a useless product to have around so I returned it.

I am 55 and have spent a fortune on trying to find a cleanser and moisturizer that my skin can tolerate. Products are always ok for a couple of days and then boom . . . my face breaks out. Went to a Dermatologist for another matter and got on to discussing what I use on my face. Nothing I said. She put me on Metrocream (prescription) to clean up my face and then gave me samples of Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser and Toleriane Ultra Moisturizer. Have been using for 3 months now. No break outs and what a difference in my skin. I am absolutely amazed! If you have skin like mine try it the 3 I did, Metrocream, Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser and Toleriane Ultra Moisturizer. Others have commented that the Cleanser does not take off make off. I found the same so I use 1 squirt to lift everything off and a second squirt to complete the cleansing. Face is very clean and feels well hydrated.

Holy schmoly. Worst skin reaction to a product for me to date. I like La Roche Posay products in general but this is a danger zone for me. I think it must be the first ingredient Ethylhexyl Palmitate, which I've since found out can be very clogging for some acne prones. It took 2 maybe 3 uses for it to destroy my skin. I never normally react so quickly to products. Apart from that it is a very gently, fragrance free, simple cleanser, but unfortunately I can't ever use it again or recommend it. It's going in the bin.

Luv my car. by An MSN Autos Consumer on 02/28/2008. Trim: 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse SE, Owned 1 year.
Pros: everything, especially the way the shocks feel so smooth over normal bumpy roads, I don't mean pot holes. Just love this car and the leather seats are the key to the good looks it already has. Thanks Mitsibushi. Love the blue lights on the dash. I Can keep going on. Black is the best color for this car. Love it.
Cons: Not having another small compartment for phone, etc....
Overall review: Love this car.
Review ID: #524196 Is this review offensive?
LOVE THIS CAR!!! by Bella from Colorado on 03/12/2014. Trim: 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Spyder, Owned 4 years.
Pros: I love this car! I've had it for 4 years now and have had no problems with it. I had a '98 Spyder before with some transmission trouble, but I have not had the same issues with the '07. Highly recommend it! It's very reliable, fun to drive and I still love looking at it :)
Cons: That they stopped making the Spyder - I don't know what I'm going to get next time for a 4-seater convertible. :/
Overall review: (see above)
Review ID: #582636 Is this review offensive?
better than any mustang by An MSN Autos Consumer on 12/20/2006. Trim: 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT Spyder, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: great car, fast, easy, great and nice.
Cons: no cons really just a great car.
Overall review: buy it. thats all i gotta say really.

The 2007 Spyder Really IS the "Affordable Exotic" by M, Dallas on 12/01/2006. Trim: 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT Spyder, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: The styling is unique and very sporty - it always elicits envious glances, especially with the top down (and I always drive with the top down above 50 degrees). It has great low-end torque, the sound system is fabulous and I find the manual shift very smooth.
Cons: The backseat is very cramped, even for a smaller person. Some of the discomfort could have been alleviated by tilting the back seat slightly, instead of having to sit so very straight....one or two additional inches to the overall length of the car would be appreciated. When I first test drove this car, I found the torque steer of concern; however, I purchased 18 inch wheels which greatly improved this condition.
Overall review: Overall, this is a great compromise choice for one who wants a fast, sporty, 4-seater convertible without having to lay out more bucks for a BMW 3-series. I looked at the Toyota Solara as well, but was put off by its lack of manual shift option - I am one who wants to DRIVE the car.
Review ID: #502195 Is this review offensive?
Great car for a mid-life crisis. by Linda from Shrewsbury, PA on 08/31/2006. Trim: 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT Spyder, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I love this car. Looked at many convertibles before deciding on the Eclispe. My tall husband fits easily behind the steering wheel and we have had friends use the back seat, though I wouldn't recommend it for a long trip. Although the trunk looks small, it holds an amazing amount - have been able to go grocery shopping and bring home large bags of dog food in addition to a weeks worth of groceries.
Cons: The rear window is small, and until you get used to it (and relying on your mirrors), can limit your visibility.
Overall review: Had the car for nearly 5 months and love it!
