The packaging is nice - no gross dispenser pump. The lotion is non-greasy - you put it on and basically can't feel a residual stickiness at all. In terms of moisturizing effect, I would say it is pretty solid. It definitely takes care of the dry feeling my skin sometimes gets. So all in all, I like this product. I have one big issue, however: the scent. The scent is, for me, much too strong and persistent. I would liken using this product to moisturizing yourself with cologne. The scent is nice and manly (reminds me of old spice), but I find it just too strong. I would buy a product with a similar formulation which is scent free or far less scent, but I would not buy such a strong smelling product. -
Don Pedro's Mexican Grill
great food, big portions, neat location. they have live music from time to time. a couple of areas in the restaurant are rather drafty.

I was at this restaurant for our firm's year end dinner so it wasn't a typical evening and I don't actually know how expensive the place is. What I can say is that the food was great and the atmosphere was lovely. Note that this place does not look like much from the outside but is quite charming on the inside. Excellent appetizers, soups and mains. All things considered, this is one of the best restaurants in Winnipeg. -

So I received this laptop bag as a gift, which is handy because my previous laptop carrying device is really an ancient briefcase which I've hated for some time, but been too cheap to improve on as it was actually working albeit ugly, clunkly and heavy. This Belkin bag is not ugly or clunky or heavy, a significant improvement in my view. It has pockets aplenty each handily labeled for those, such as myself, averse to remembering where I've put this or that. For example, there is a special pocket for the mouse, slots for credit cards and pens, ipod pocket, a mini bag for the computer cord plus a few handy miscellaneous compartments secured by zipper or velcro. All labeled with charming little symbols. No compartment for my old discman though - haven't voluntarily replaced that yet either.
It has a separate handle to carry by hand or you can use the shoulder loop, which is a very satisfactory width by which I mean you can carry the thing over the shoulder without it starting to hurt. Mine fits laptops just over 15 inches though you can buy one to fit, i believe, 17 inch monitors. The laptop compartment is lined with some kind of soft material - no fear of scratching. The bag is 'soft shell' so I presume it wouldn't do much to protect my computer if I dropped it although it is somewhat padded. I've only had it a while so I don't know what kind of shelf life bag has in it but it definitely appears to be well made. In that case, it may well be worth $50. I've never really priced laptop bags.
All in all a most satisfactory gift to receive. I didn't rate it too highly on the 'lust-o-meter' because, well it's a laptop bag, after all.

Apple MacBook
Isn't it actually an iBook, not a MacBook? Anyway, I have an iBook and I love it. No black marks on my keyboard and I've owned it 2+ years.
