THE COUNTY UNDER 25 men's side, packed with local players, made an excellent start to the season by winning their opening match against Somerset at Paulton.
They took the honours on all four rinks in this friendly, which was played over 18 ends owing to the weather, but still ran-out comprehensive 74-48 victors.
Craig Hatherall's rink recorded the biggest winning margin of 11 shots in the 26-shots team success.
Gary Jackson's four eased home by seven shots and Paul Stokes' rink by five shots, while the foursome skipped by Craig Morphet came back well in the latter stages of their match to claim a victory.
They were 13-10 down after 15 ends but won the last three with scores of two, one, three to record a 16-13 success and complete a Wiltshire Under 25 men's whitewash of Somerset.
RESULTS Rink 3: Adam Bolwell (Holt), Luke Jowett (Cricklade), Matt Daniell (W Bassett) & Craig Hatherall (W'lecot) beat Dale Taylor 22-11. Rink 4: Jake Webster (W'lecot), Sean Etherington, James Richman (both High) & Gary Jackson (W'lecot) beat Sam Steel 20-13. Rink 5: John Hermon (Garrards), Sheldon Warren (W'lecot), David Murray (R Cheney) & Craig Morphet (High) beat Grant Aldridge 16-13. Rink 6: Tom Newman (Trow West), Ben Choules (High), Mike Titcombe & Paul Stokes (W'lecot) beat Reece White 16-11.Scores: Wiltshire beat Somerset 74-48.
- NEXT WEEK, Wiltshire Under 25 men continue their build-up to their top event of the season, the National U25 Double Rinks competition for the White Rose Trophy.
Their first White Rose match is not until the end of this month, against Worcestershire, however, in preparation for it they will be competing in a special three-rink Bank Holiday Monday Four Counties U25 Tournament at Keynsham (2pm).
Team manager Adam Tanner has a full squad available and appears to have chosen his strongest team for the tournament against Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and hosts Somerset.
TEAM Rink 1: A Bolwell, C Morphet, M Daniell & Mike Richards (W'lecot). Rink 2: C Hatherall, B Choules, Kyle Anderson (W Bassett) & Nick Revell (Amesbury). Rink 3: M Titcombe, L Jowett, J Richman & G Jackson.

A WORKING smoke alarm led to the safe rescue of a woman and her cat from a blaze at a house in Bear Hill, Alvechurch.
Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) received a call just before 3.20am on Wednesday, January 9, after the female resident was woken by her smoke alarm, and two fire engines from Redditch fire station arrived quickly. Faced with a fire in an upstairs bathroom and the roof space of the listed cottage, further pumps from Redditch and Bromsgrove were called .
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose reel jets and one covering jet to extinguish the blaze and used thermal imaging equipment to check the fire was fully out.
The woman from the house was treated at the scene by paramedics and firefighters rescued her cat using a ladder at a first floor window.
Watch Commander Jon Laight said: "The fire broke out in the bathroom of a two-storey terraced cottage in a row of listed buildings. It had already spread into the roof space and there was a real risk of it spreading horizontally into adjoining properties, but thanks to the actions of the first crews at the scene, this was avoided. The four crews acted quickly and professionally to bring the fire under control and limit the damage to all three houses.
"Without a doubt, the working smoke alarm fitted in this property played a key role. The early warning it gave provided the woman time to get out safely and call the fire service and we were then able to save her house and those of her neighbours, all three of them listed properties.
"The incident illustrates just why we remind people to check smoke alarms on a regular basis. Working smoke alarms can and do save lives."
Crews remained at the scene for several hours, cutting away to ensure there was no further fire spread and assisting with salvage work.

Looks great. Can you post some other views? Episode view, season view, etc.
I would definitely use this if one thing was changed. I personally like the pause menu at the bottom instead of the top.
Dont get me wrong, I will try it our, just nitpicking, thats all.

Looks great! I used it for a few minutes, I'll play around some more when I get home. Once I've done this I'll try to post a bit more.
Nice Icons
Very Nice Animations
Everything is consistent throughout
Navigation could use some work. The settings in the library are particularly painful to use.

Also agreed on the navigation.
But aside from that, this thing is awesome! Pretty please with the appropriate amount of cherries on top, tweak and maintain it! At least for a while..
It's really sleek and still runs well on the ol' trusty Xbox. I'm also still kind of waiting for Ellipsis, but this looks very promising! Keep it up.

great skin. well done scarfa!
i'm really liking the smooth animations a lot, especially the slide focus on the system submenu is great.
using blurred images on the home menu is also a nice idea.
i sure hope you find the time to maintain this skin for a while. ;-)

Hulk Hogan really, REALLY shouldn't have made the whole 'God's will' comment about John Graziano
The Graziano family has released video footage of John Graziano's daily rehabilitation in the hospital. We've all known he's been in a coma and has a hole in a head, but no one mentioned how freaking huge the hole is. The footage appeared on Nancy Grace midweek with the hole pixelated and, well, uh, I just saw the unpixelated version. It's goddamn insane and really puts Hulk Hogan's "God wants John in a coma to make him a better person" comment in a whole other light. A bright, bleached, asinine "Wow, what a dick" light. No wonder the Hulk got death threats from John's brother. In fact, I'm about to give him a death threat:
Terry… you cocksucka… I will pee in your moustache… all your money won't help you now… unless you buy a moustache shield… um… sucker of cocks, Luke, I'm your father.
Go easy on me. It's my first time.
WARNING: Uncensored video after the jump contains disturbing images unless you're the sort of person who finds gaping head wounds divine.
Thanks to The Builder for the tip. I hope those permits come through.

Eeliks:en aka. Eelis Mikael Salminen is a seven year old boy in his first year at primary school. He also studies at Sara Hilden Academys fine art school. He learned to read when he was three years old. His favourite bands include Beatles, AC/DC, Beastie Boys, Robin, Kiss, Rolling Stones, Pikkuoravat and Prodigy. His favourite foods are lasagna, fish fingers and salmon.
Eelis begun recording his album on his dads iPhone, trying to make the songs as consistent as possible, but unfortunately he failed at his first attempt. Soon after though, he recorded more music because his dad made him. He describes his music as a mix between electronic and dance music, and thinks the only one who might like it is (musician and Fonal head honcho) Sami Sänpäkkilä. He sings in gibberish and in English. The album Suutre Teiter also features appearances from his little brother Niilo and friends Kalle, Siena and Oscari.
Eeliks:en has declined to do live concerts. His explanation was simply: I dont want to be Robin. (Robin is approximately the Finnish equivalent of Justin Bieber).

Hello fellow Epi's ..... I'm here seeking stories, experiences, and advice. When I was 16 I started getting myoclonic jerks. This brought me to the Doc, and I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I'm on 1000mg Depakote p/day & Tranxene too (take as needed). These have been kinda working for me, however, I'm turning 27 this month... After being on Tranxene for the past 10 years I've built up quite a tolerance. 1-2 used to do the trick (stop myoclonic sensations and generalized seizures) , now, I'm up to 8-10 a day!!! and suffering more than ever!
Recently, I had 3 seizures pretty close together... in fact, one was only yesterday. I'm also constantly tired and I have been suffering problems in keeping erections.
I've decided it's time for a change - I'm looking into Keppra , and I was wondering if you guy's could help me with any advice, stories, experiences, etc....
Thanks in advance!! - E.T.

Short Term:Down Net Long Futures and Options: 71385
Long Term: Down Change: -40000
Overnight Trade: K -32 Z -3 @7:30 AM
Old crop corn is still getting crushed by the surprisingly large quarterly stocks estimate. USDA has been notorious for seemingly random quarterly stocks estimates and that are either shockingly high or low and this time we got one on the high side. If you believe the numbers then our animals didn't eat much during the second quarter, but who know what will happen during the 3rd quarter. The things to watch this week will be the basis levels and the spread trade. If we are back to bull spreading, especially between the May and July contracts, then it tells us that supplies are still hard to come by. In the meantime, there is no way to describe the charts other than bearish.
Wheat Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Down Net Long Futures and Options: -61651
Long Term: Down Change: -12000
Overnight Trade: Chicago: K -8 KC: K -6 @7:30 AM
The wheat market is getting sucked lower by the corn. The wheat numbers weren't market movers, we have seen a couple weeks of good export sales and crop condition ratings are still horrible, so there are actually some reasons for strength in the wheat. The problem is that wheat is still very dependent on feed usage to keep stocks in check and those horrible crop conditions are improving, so if the corn is under pressure there isn't much hope for the wheat. Traders will be looking for $7.00 in the July KW.
Soybeans Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Down Net Long Futures and Options: 78172
Long Term: Down Change: -15000
Overnight Trade: K -14 X-5 @7:30 AM
The May soybeans fell to the lowest level since early January thanks in part to the corn stocks figure and the higher than expected soybean stocks estimate. I suspect that this price break will attract some fresh export demand, which will send the beans back to the top of the trading range, but it will take a little time to get nerves settled down following Thursday's plunge. Be patient picking a bottom.
Live Cattle
Short Term: Up
Long Term: Down
Opening Calls: 20-40 Higher
Live cattle futures closed with triple digit gains on Thursday, supported by a $2-3 rise in the cash trade. For the week April live cattle were up 2.75. A moderately bearish hog and pig report could limit the follow through gains in the fat cattle market. Today will be spent analyzing this weeks' show lists and whether domestic demand is ready to show improvement. Look for any pullbacks to be well supported in this market. Open interest was up more than 4,000 contracts on the rally.
Feeder Cattle
Short Term: Up
Long Term: Down
Opening Call: 40-60 Higher
Feeder cattle futures finished limit up on Thursday, with April gaining 5.35 in the shortened four day trading week. Additional weakness in overnight corn prices should give feeders a lift on their opening bell. The .70 drop in old crop corn values since Wednesday should go a long way in supporting cash and futures in the feeders. Some reports showed cash yearlings trading as much as $10 per hundred weight higher than a week ago.

A man who was stabbed 20 times in a random attack has won a landmark victory for victims of crime.
Mark Kemp, 43, from Fulham, was furious when his attacker, Mark Ricketts, went missing while on authorised leave from mental health unit, Springfield University Hospital in Tooting on March 22.
Springfield Hospital in Tooting
Mr Kemp was only informed three days after Ricketts went missing and told to avoid Tooting, the location of the brutal attack in 1994.
Ricketts was later found on a bus in Peckham, but Mr Kemp was so angry about the lack of communication he decided to take action.
A letter to his MP, Mark Field, prompted a letter from the member for London and Westminster to MP Jeremy Wright, the parliamentary under-secretary of state for justice, who has instructed officials to change the guidance governing information provided to victims.
Now, according to the Domestic Violence Crime and Victims Act 2004, victims will be automatically told if leave is granted to a hospitalised offender - except in the exceptional case where they might constitute a risk to the offender.
Mr Kemp said: "They put an exclusion zone around me but nobody contacted me and nobody consulted me about the exclusion zone.
"I feel relieved for victims in the future. They will be safeguarded from the stress and trauma it could cause."
Mr Field said: "It is pleasing officials have now been instructed to improve their communications with the victims of crime, such that victims will now automatically be told if leave is granted to a hospitalised offender.
"It is right the victims of crime should be provided with as much information as possible about key developments in the offender's sentence and I hope this change provides some comfort to Mr Kemp and other victims of violent crime."
Mr Kemp still suffers from the incident, which took place 20 years ago, and went on to form The Independent Victims' Helpline UK.
He suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, spent seven years on the streets and has had to undergo numerous operations on his stab wounds.

L shaped Couch clean quote
Just after a quote to clean our five seater L shaped couch.View »
Tile and grout cleaning can be tough, time consuming and almost impossible for many. Back 2 New Cleaning Company, Riverhills is here to provide you quality tile and grout cleaning services with superior cleaning equipment.
At Back 2 New Tile and grout cleaning Riverhills, we take pleasure in offering proper stone, tile, and grout cleaning and restoration. We hold our services to the highest level, ensuring that your restoration will stand the test of time, helping you avoid the cost of installing a new floor. We specialize in both grout cleaning and grout color sealing.
1. Clean and restore the tiles and grout using a spinner wand. This is the latest technology to safely remove embedded dirt and grime within the tiles and grout.
2. Apply a sealer. Depending on the type of tile or grout, a good quality sealer is essential after the cleaning to provide longevity. Grout is very porous and without a sealer, spills will be absorbed making the grout weak and vulnerable.
You can put your trust in Back 2 New Cleaning Company Riverhills for all your tile and grout maintenance needs.
Here are some Tile and Grout Cleaning Services provided by Back 2 New Tile and grout cleaning Riverhills:
Grout is an absorbent material, which means that over time, light color grout will turn into stained. To renovate your grout to its initial state, we being our cleaning with a citrus degreasing, followed by the application of high-pressure boiling water. This is unique, as we are the only company to use 1000 psi (pounds per square inch) of boiling water application. This combination of high pressure and high heat allows us to provide permanent results in your grout color sealing.
For all of our grout renovation jobs in Riverhills, Back 2 New Tile and grout cleaning Riverhills come equipped with up to 300 ft. of pressure hose and vacuum lines, both of which are able to run off of our own power supply. This means that you won't have to worry about your power breakers being tripped during the grout renovation process, and we can still complete the work even if there is a power outage in the area. Alternatively, if you live in a high rise building, we also carry smaller portable machines to ensure that we can still serve you.
After cleaning, we suggest two options for tile sealing and grout sealing: clear grout sealing or color grout sealing. For our clear grout sealing, we apply a quality expert grout seal to shield the grout from staining. This is our more affordable option as a tile and grout sealer, and will typically last for two years.
For the initial time in life you no longer have to get on your knees with a tooth brush, or other types of deck brush and struggle with malodorous chemicals and acids that don't work.
Why you hurt your knees, dry out skin, struggle with harsh chemical smells etc, when you can get shining cleaned tile and grout cleaning without any bother?
Back 2 New Cleaning offers the NEWEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE way of tile and grout cleaning to date. We use latest, scientifically-proven methods, technologies and a variety of equipment. The key part of the process is HEAT that we apply consistently. In combination with vacuum and high pressure water cleaning we are able to provide fast and efficient service and long-lasting results. Turbo and mini-turbo attachments enable our crew to reach areas and surfaces of different configurations. Our service will help you get more "mileage" of hard floor surfaces you have invested into, and love!
We also complete SEALING, available by request, as an important component of the process designed to keep your floors clean and stain-free longer.
Here are a few things you should know before we start…
Our cleaning process can, in most cases, return your floor to 95% or more of its initial condition. Back 2 New Cleaning Riverhills assures that we will do our best to satisfy you. But we need your understanding that sometimes we are dealing with situations beyond our control. And your helpful ways are highly appreciated, too!
Please have all areas cleared of furniture and knickknacks before we arrive. We will point out damaged and heavily stained areas, or any other problematic surfaces, BEFORE we begin. We would appreciate if you do such an inspection yourself in advance. As you understand, we will not be responsible for any pre-existing conditions such as loose tiles and grout, cracked or missing tile and grout, discoloration, fading, scratched tiles etc. Neither will we take responsibility for correcting damage, previously concealed by dirt, and uncovered while cleaning surfaces with heavy soil build-up. There could be areas of your floor that are beyond the reach of even the most advanced tools we use. Some products and food can stain grout permanently. We will know what will, and what will not come out until we actually clean the surface. Wax is our enemy too, as it is extremely difficult to remove from grout. We will do our best to get rid of it, and we pride ourselves on the fact that in most cases, the process is successful and effective. But we still cannot guarantee complete wax removal at all times and under any conditions. If we feel that our cleaning process could do more harm than good due to existing problems in the floor condition, we immediately STOP all work. If there is still staining or discoloration visible after the cleaning, you have an option of re-coloring the grout with a whole array of new products available on the market today.
Thank you for understanding some of the specific conditions we have to deal with while cleaning your tile and grout. We hope you will be able to enjoy your newly cleaned and refreshed tile and grout for years to come!
Is there a reason why it is harder to maintain tiles and grout clean compared to carpets and area rugs? Of course! There is nowhere for the dirt to hide on hard surfaces such as wood, natural stone, ceramic, porcelain and etc. This is why it is so important to have your newly cleaned floors properly finished and maintained.
After your floor is clean, the best thing to do is have it sealed. The grout sealer will need to "cure" within a 24 hour period. Contrary to popular belief, forced air will not speed up the curing process.
Bear in mind, that sealers are designed to make products repel dirt, but on its own, it would not prevent the floors from getting dirty.
Beware of store-bought "foreign" substances and chemicals: they can actually embed dirt and grime into your floor, or even cause permanent damage.
After the service is complete, try to avoid the use of strong chemicals for cleaning your floors for at least two weeks. Never use muriatic acid, floor stripper or any other rough substances during the setting period. Be careful while hiring people to maintain your floors, as you have to make sure they do not use methods and substances that can damage your floors and put in danger yours and their own safety and health.
The grout is very often no longer a simple cementations product. Grout additives, epoxy and urethane grouts are becoming more common. Color Clad is designed for superior adhesion to all tile grouts, including epoxy.
At Back 2 New Tile and grout cleaning Riverhills we maintain the highest of standards with our tile and grout Cleaning Services throughout Riverhills. We are committed to doing the job right the first time, every time. We offer you, the customer a 100% Service Guarantee for you to feel completely satisfied with your clean. Because customer satisfaction is most important to our business and we believe in long term relationship.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/User:Jaygo/Scientology
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit User:Jaygo/Scientology
User:Jaygo/Scientology First attempt from a noob! There is already a page on "Scientologist" and currently "Scientology" redirects there, however, this is not very funny, and I would propose - once completed, following review - to substitute it with this article.
With regards to the first three entries in the "See also" subsection, they do not currently direct anywhere, but I would create entries on these also.
Jaygo (talk) 14:47, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
|Hello, Jaygo! I am glad that you wrote your first article and I would like to help you about it! My general comments are: you said that you would replace the link to "Scientologists" with your article after it is being reviewed but you have done it already. Well, it is fine, but I think it would be cool if you insert the link to "Scientologists" in the "See also" section. You also said that the links in that section did not lead anywhere (which would not be very appropraite for the main space article, which it currently is) but I did not find any. This is just what I did not really understand.
Now, concerning the article, I have stated your main problems in the "Concept" part of the review. Here, I will look at the problems in different sections.
|After reading your article, I think that your concept is to make it look as if the Scientology was something completely different from what it is exactly (at least, it is so in the "History" section). This might work but I would advice you to make your article look like something objective (which all the articles in encyclopedias pretend to be), although you do not have to be objective, if you get what I mean. Try to write as if you are summing up different (and opposite) points of view but, in fact, tell the same thing as you do right now.
The problem with the current article is that, for instance, I found the introduction brilliant but after you simply state something without even trying to prove it.
And finally, the last but not the least, sometimes in the article, you pretend that Scientology is a kind of a dangerous religion (you say that people doing it are dangerous) but sometimes you simply state that "Scientologists are people who bought at least one book" (although my quote is not exact).
|Prose and formatting:
|Here, you still need to work a bit, although it seems that your writing is very good. But I advice to proofread your work to eliminate any inequalities and mistakes (I found several errors, such as "this referred to" in the introduction, "to earth" instead of "to the Earth", points instead of commas in big numbers) and to have a steady and not very complicated sentences (they are too long, sometimes).
Other aspects that need to be worked on are:
These are only several examples, but it will be good if you try to avoid all these problems in all the sections of your page.
|You have three images and, after looking at all of them, I have the impression that you chose them in a way not to make the article funnier but merely to illustrate, although I, personally, liked the first and the third one.
For example, you took the first image to show how Elrond Hubbard looked and the caption has humour. However, it does not show why the image is funny, therefore it is not very connected to the illustration. To explain it even better, your image maybe illustrates some joke from your article but this joke is a separate one from the one in the caption. You can take a closer look at the picture itself and state what is funny about it in a very serious manner?
The choice of the last images seemed to me a bit random. As you say that Scientologists are very dangerous, I can explain what is funny about your third picture, but what about the "Dancing with the stars" one? Does it have a strong connection with your text, strong enough for the reader to understand that it really is increasing its humour and not just simply standing there?
Concerning the way you built your article, the middle part lacks any illustrations whereas the last one has two. Considering the fact that the part without images is very long, it would be good to put some there.
|Your average score
|Final Score:
|I enjoyed reading your article and think that it had very good ideas. But, when I reviewed it, I took a closer look and worked out my scores according to what I found. Thus, they in no way mean what the reader's impression would be after reading your work but only whether you still have something that you can improve and how much. So, if you think that the grade is low, that does not mean that the article is bad. I think that the most important thing for you to concentrate on is the relevance of everything you say. And I put all the details in the review. I wish you all the best with your work and hope that it will get featured!

HOUSTON - A man was found dead after fire tore through a northwest Houston home Monday night.
The fire started shortly before midnight in the 5200 block of Lamonte Lane near Costa Rica Road. When firefighters arrived, there were flames shooting from the back of the one story ranch-style home. A neighboring home was also at risk of catching fire.
Neighbors said the flames were intense.
"It was scary. I came out back and you couldn't even stand on the patio. The heat was too much," neighbor LaNelle Pyka said.
Crews managed to keep the fire from spreading to the neighbor's home, but had to fight the fire from the outside.
HFD Deputy Chief Terry Stone said the home had burglar bars and a reinforced attic that made fighting the flames more difficult.
"This fire had a lot of access problems due to some heavy burglar bars," Stone said.
Once firefighters were able to get inside, they found a body in a back bedroom, where the fire was most intense.
The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences will determine exactly what killed the man, whose name has not yet been released.
Neighbors said the owner of the home lived alone and that his wife passed away last year.
Investigators said they aren't sure if the fire is suspicious or accidental. Arson investigators collected evidence and a tracking dog searched the home.
No firefighters were hurt.

Hi there.. I always have trouble differentiating what text is good for homepages, and about pages. I feel there is always a bit of overlap. Can anyone clarify what type of text content should go on each page respectively?
I always use the following guidelines for about about page, but what about the home page?
The home page should summarise the whole site or the key service you are selling, the about page should be about the people/company providing the service in detail.
For example, let's say you are building a website for a typical tradesman, the home page will welcome the visitor, outline the key services and where the company works geographically, highlighting any specialities or unique selling points. The about page will talk about who started the company, when, the skills of the people involved, charities the company supports etc.
Of course the home page may summarise a little bit of the about page but the overlap should be quite small.
A homepage has to contain core marketing elements as it is a page that we refer people to most of the time.
Depending on the goal of your business and the type of products or services that you offer, the text for your homepage should complement the following elements:
A headline or tagline that attracts attentionCall to actionBenefits of what you offerTestimonials or social proofContact details (address, phone number if any)Well structured navigational links
You can look at http://unbounce.com/landing-page-examples/built-using-unbounce/beautiful-landing-page-design-examples/ for examples. Some of the examples here are landing pages but do check out the links attached for the homepages.
Home page should have more important information about your website, services/products, and what you think visitors should see/know when they land on your site. Home page is very important so your visitors won't leave your site immediately.
Wayne, I think you are exactly right. The very first thing that needs to be determined is the purpose of the Website. A business Website will be different from one that is a blog, or strictly for presenting information.
For a business Website, creating a positive image is going to be number one, in my opinion. This means, it has to look good. Good design, attractive, and eye pleasing. An ugly Website will do nothing for a company's image, no matter what information might be presented. Ugly says "cheap." Ugly says, "we don't care about our image." There are far too many ugly Websites out there.
"[C]ore marketing elements," yes! It's an advertisement first (perhaps I have this view because I took commercial art, and have a little advertising training, but I think I'm right about this). So, we have to create a positive first impression (company image), and then we have to "sell." Make it clear what the product or service is. An effective headline (the purpose of the headline is go get attention) should make the reader want to read the first line of copy.
Answer the question, "What's in it for me?" What is the product or service, and what will it do for me?
Short body copy, not too much to read, but creating the desire for more information. Call to action. "Call us today ... " Photos, more information can be provided on additional pages if necessary or desired, but the Home Page needs to create an initial positive emotion geared to getting a response.
I like to have some contact information on the Home Page (phone number) but I like to place a contact form on a "Contact Us" page.
The Home page should give a brief overview of what lies within and whets the viewer's appetite to stay and click around, probably straight to your "About" page. Your About page should focus on what benefits you can offer the viewer while introducing yourself. Your About page is very important, but at the end of the day it's "About" what you can do for the viewer instead of really about you. Ironic.
I think it depends what the intention of the site is.
In e-commerce you would presumably offer products on the homepage, and explain your company on the about page. For a service based business you would offer your services on the homepage, and your business information on the about page. For a blog, you'd have the latest or most important content on the homepage...
It's all about knowing what your visitors are looking for when they arrive, getting them to pause and hang around, and then moving them to the right place or convincing them to perform a desired action. That's not what you want on the about page, which is rarely an arrival page in itself. People go to the about page usually after arriving on the homepage or other areas of the site when they want to know more about you.
What I think the approach varies from site to site and obviously the niche of your business. But the basic thing is that in the home page you have to put all your services/products in a plane and simple language where as the about page should content the achievements and contacts.
About Us Page should always be about the real people who are behind the company.It's your chance to make customers relate to the people running the business as real people like them, not just emotionless drones working for a company...even if that's what they may actually be!
The home page is the single most important page on your website. You have less than a second to get your visitors to pay attention long enough to keep reading whatever message you have posted there so you're definitely asking the right questions. The problem is, this is a copywriting problem for the most part and most designers try to turn it into a design problem which is what it rarely is. You have to learn how to write copy that will convince your visitors to take action and that is the fine art of direct-response copywriting.
There's a good book by Dan Kennedy for beginners. It's called "The Ultimate Sales Letter". But for your needs I would probably recommend "Website Copy That Sells" by Maria Veloso. It's not really a question of "home" or "about" pages. I have worked on plenty of websites that had neither. It's about creating a website that produces results. A website that converts skeptical prospects into happy customers.
And you have to know how to format the copy so that it is appealing and easy to read on the screen. That part is part of design.
That's good advice. If you were taking a jab at that massive paragraph of text I posted up there then I guess I could give you a bunny sticker for offering constructive feedback. It's nice to meet you Shyflower. I probably would have said the same thing. Thank you.
Another thing that is different in the About Us page, is that you can add company's goals and mission statement here. In my humble opinion,. home page revolves mostly around your value proposition.
Regarding directing people to your home page from the landing pages.You don't have to necessarily do it.If you have landing pages and each of them is focused on different service, while each of the service is covered on the separate page of the website, then you can direct people from the landing page straight to the correspondent page of your website.(hope I haven't confused anyone with such a long sentence)
Home page/landing page is your website's most important page where your customers and search engine are briefed and impressed. So considers adding key information regarding your business while trying to cover various aspects of your business. However about us is where you cover about yourself, your company and its employees. While home page is to be written on a professional pattern, About us is all yours and the only objective is to express yourself.
It is highly recommended not to use your home page as your landing page.Instead, make 2-3 different landing pages that target specific subgroup of your target audience and appeals to them.
Here's a good thread about it.
That's generally good advice, but it does depend on how big your site is. As a general rule, you want people to land on the page that's most relevant to what they are searching for. If you've got 100 content pages on your site, think of it as 100 landing pages. Trying to funnel everyone who comes to your site from a search engine through two or three landing pages just increases the risk that they will bounce out before finding the information they were looking for. But yes, trying to get everyone through your home page is even worse!
Anyway, this is getting a bit off-topic from the original question...
Anyway, this is getting a bit off-topic from the original question...
You're right here - we're going off-topic.
You could think of the home page and the about page as two of the most important pages on the site that are NOT landing pages. When people land on any of the other pages of the site (the ones which contain what they are looking for) they can then visit the about page to find out more about who the site belongs to and the home page to find out more about what the site is all about.
This is the best definition of the difference between home and about pages I have seen. Too often businesses fill their home page with content about their founders, their goals, their 'mission' instead of using the home page as an index to the products and services offered by their business. Stephen... you should copyright this definition!
Shyflower, I just wrote a post about this yesterday. I call it "home page stuffing". People are so scared that people won't see all their stuff that they throw it on the home page. It's like we forget that our visitors have a mouse with a button which gives them the ability to click our links.
There are a lot of unconventional home page designs that work well so there is a lot of flexibility here. If it's a question of whether or not to add something to the home page, I would recommend leaving it off.
Here's the post I wrote on home page design. Might add a few other thoughts not mentioned here: http://webeminence.com/home-page-design

Fri 15th Mar 2013 | News
The Foundry has launched MARI 2.0, a revolutionary version of its 3D digital paint tool that introduces a brand new, artist-focused layer
This major release is focused on enhancing the painting experience for 3D artists. The addition of the new layer system means MARI is easier to use than ever before and will be a familiar working environment for users of Photoshop and other layer based paint tools.
"We have spent a long time working on the nuts and bolts of this layer system for MARI and we believe 2.0 surpasses anything else on the market today," says Jack Greasley, MARI Product Manager. "We wanted to really push the limits and give artists a working environment that feels both familiar and revolutionary at the same time."
Inside MARI's layer system
The layer system has all the features artists expect from the most advanced layer based workflows available today and much more. The streamlined Layer View in MARI 2.0 introduces powerful grouping, tagging and filtering options making even highly complex stacks easy to navigate and control. Procedural Layers let artists easily create the look they want, seamlessly blending procedural and painted detail with the same toolkit. The possibilities are endless. Going beyond the functionality of any existing software on the market, every layer has its own Mask Group. Every mask is effectively a full layer stack in its own right, allowing artists to use blending, groups, adjustments and procedurals in all their masks.
Shared Layers mean artists can cut down on the bookkeeping that goes hand in hand with reusing layers and masks. Now they can simply share the layer within a stack and any changes they make can be automatically updated across the rest. "This is the version that we have all been patiently waiting for," ads Justin Holt, Lead Texture Artist at Image Engine. "I have to say that it has been an absolute joy to use MARI 2.0. With the introduction of the new layer system, texture painters will be welcomed with a warm feeling of nostalgia from the days of painting in Photoshop alongside a renewed sense of excitement for the potential of what they will be able to paint, entirely non-destructively, with this revolutionary version of MARI."
"The new layer system in MARI 2.0 enhances the way you can work with masks and adjustment layers and is consistent with what you would find with Photoshop," says Jens Kafitz, Senior Texture Artist at Weta Digital. "There is also good compatibility between the two applications making the back and forth easier. A new projection mask system and new caching features to help manage the data on complex assets are also great
additions to the new version of MARI."
MARI 2.0 is immediately available for download. Find out more here.

A9 TV, August 2nd, 2012
The problem in the Islamic world is lovelessness. The problem in the world also is lovelessness. They have a tremendous tendency to struggle, to quarrel. People like to curse. They like to beat and wound people. A great part of them like to kill people. They like weapons, to chop up, to threaten but when love is the issue, they are distant. The fact is however, the purpose of the creation of the universe is love. The actual purpose in heaven is love. Allah's actual purpose is love. People find so many pretexts not to have love. There are so many rationales.
Muslims who are aware that the Day of Judgment is close very much want the Unity of Islam and they make great effort for that. As the Unity of Islam is delayed, you see that we have been receiving the news of disasters and mass killings from everywhere. There is blood, pus, and smell of gunpowder everywhere. Even in India Muslims are being killed. In Arakan Muslims are killed. There is devastation in Syria. Communists are rampant there. All the portents of the Day of Judgment appear.
Though it may be rare, a jackal, an immoral person appears everywhere. Do you know why? So that you can earn more merit. They encounter a jackal, he engages in immorlaity. For instance they have earned a thousand rewards during that day and in order to earn more, Allah feels compassion for them and inflicts that jackal upon them. So they earn a thousand more rewards. Then they earn two thousand rewards. The attacks of such mean people deepen the rewards. Satan is inflicted on them on purpose and as a result Muslims earn their rewards.
Masha'Allah, elhamdulillah. We always support our Alawite brothers in the spiritual sense Alawism is love. Alawism is profundity, it is exuberance, it is the love for human beings. It is the love for animals, love for plants. It is profundity. It is deep love and a strong attack against bigotry. In other words, it is a guarantee for Muslims. Alawites are full of love. They are very gentle, well-mannered people. They are compassionate, brave people. They have honor. They have this chracteristic for centuries. This is the main feature of our naiton, they all have it. This also holds true for Alawites.
Beautiful ladies love beautiful ladies. Beautiful ladies want to enter somewhere where there are beautiful ladies. Some of the beautiful ladies are arrogant, they are proud. But when they see women who are more beautiful than they are, they lose that pride. They become very modest. They become very close to them. They become companions. A great part of the wealthy people are also arrogant. They consider themselves to be superior to the public. Some of them have grandeur, they do not want to take other people seriously. But when they see that we are wealthy, then they become meek. Then they lose their arrogance and pride. They become more modest, they live more comfortably and listen us better. For instance those ladies with revealing clothes do not feel comfortable when they are with ladies who do not wear revealing clothes. They feel uneasy and do not feel in peace. But they feel themselves secure when they are around women wearing revealing clothes like themselves, make-up and are well-groomed, they are stylish and modern. They feel much more confident. They want to talk to them, see them. But when those bigot lot with beard and moustache who don't wear make up and who stink like corpse and gape apprach beautiful women, they in no way take them seriously. Thus they lose the opportunity to communicate the message to them. A quality, imposing woman will never be around them. She in no way approaches them. An educated person who have a broad knowledge of culture also does not want to be around an ignorant person. He wants to be surrounded with cultured people like himself.
The world can only be saved with love. In the hereafter the purpose of paradise is love. It is also love what Allah demands from us. Everything is based upon love. The roots of the moral perfection is love; it is for attaining love. Otherwise you lose your connection from your love. You find a flaw, a mistake of him and you simply feel detached from him. Charitableness comes into existence with love. For instance you help a poor person, he loves you. You don't tell lies and that is also for love. It is very difficult to love someone who tell lies. That person becomes someone resembling a human being. She constantly tell lies and you can not get in touch with the real one. The roots of moral perfection is always love. And the love in the world is the greatest taste. It is the thing that delights one most. Once love disappears, everywhere turns into hell. You become suffocated. Lovelessness makes one go nuts. For instance the main reason of suicides is lovelessness. The major reason why people use drugs is lovelessness. A person in love in no way needs them. Without love of Allah, love never reigns. Allah says in the Qur'an that we should have love of Allah and in return Allah will love us. Allah does not grant love in the absence of love. That is why what Muslims must pay most attention to is to give weigh to love. It does not come into existence as a formality. People must pay due attention to it. A profound, passionate and exeburant love.
(About the ban brought by the Beijing administration on the fasting of public servants and students in East Turkistan with a population of 9 million)
We have recently gone to China; they invited us. They said, "We are very democratic, they misunderstand us." The members of the Chinese government guided our brothers, they saw everywhere and held meetings. I said, "Spread democracy, ban executions, remove those mobile vehicles for executions so that our Muslim brothers there can enjoy freedom of speech." Just as we were thinking that they would allow it, they put a ban on worshipping. Why does this concer you? Whoever wants can fast. A healthy person fasts. If he is sick, he won't fast. Almighty Allah has made everything easy for people. A student, for instance, may fast or not. Would they force them to eat? This is something very abnormal.2012-09-17 12:13:12
