November 2nd, 2009, 02:54 PM #1Setting up a coupon site - help!
Hey all, I am new to ABW but I was wondering if someone could give me a very basic how to for setting up a coupon site? I understand it is difficult to get noticed and all, and I understand trade secrets, that's why I only am asking for a vary basic set up. I am considering starting one but am finding it very difficult to get help getting started. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes the competition amongst coupon sites is beyond fierce. There are a dozen or so top coupon sites that google loves. And google will show those sites the love when it comes to search results pages for anything coupon related. And if your not on the first page for a *coupon* related search, you may as well be tumbling down the rabbit hole.
Not to mention the thousands of dollars a month those top coupon sites spend on Adwords advertising. Unless your going to create a coupon site that "revolutionizes" the coupon publishing world, I would seriously think about something else.
I speak from experience. Like I said, I say this out of kindness. Take it or leave it.

How about a site where users request and vote on coupons from a particular retailer of the week or something? Kinda like the deal of the day sites...give them a few pre-established discounts to vote on. And make sure the coupons are exclusive to your site only. Somehow. [then again, maybe there is already something out there like this...I haven't researched, as coupons aren't my thing either.]

Seymour - I see your point, and appreciate your insight. I am still curious to learn more about it. I may second guess putting all my effort into a coupon site right now, but I certainly want to know to go about getting the coupons.
What about going direct to merchants, is that a good idea? I'm talking about smaller sites that don't function on a drop ship basis, but actually manufacture the product themselves; does anyone here have experience with that?

Where to get them -
Most merchants send out newsletters to affiliates with the coupons in them.
Most coupons are available when you go to get links. Some networks have it easy to find them. For example in CJ if I want text links, I can choose those links and filter them by coupon.
Some merchants let you use whatever coupons you can find, I always sign up for the consumer newsletter as well on the merchant site.
Some merchants have blogs where you can get them.
Some networks have a place for them for all the merchants in the network like Shareasales Deal Database. GAN has a hot promotions section that's really light, not much there. But I get links everyday from them in the email and I get coupons there.
I have pages like this bookmarked - http://helpcenter.linkshare.com/publ...questionid=731 That's where Linkshare updates consumer and affiliate promotions. I check that out at the beginning of every month and every now then in between.
Some networks have coupon feeds.
Some sites have user submitted coupons.
There's always your competition to check out.
That kind of thing.

SeymourButts, I am so curious about your site. Can you tell us your site url?
November 3rd, 2009, 01:21 AM #13
I second what SeymourButts said. A coupon site nowadays would be considered an advanced project and it sounds as though you are still working on the basics. He's not just trying to discourage you, but giving his honest experience.

With all my negativity towards coupon sites, I didn't actually answer the question.
For the most part, you can automate getting coupons from SAS, GAN, CJ, Avantlink, Pepperjam, and Linkshare (kind of) with mysql/php scripts.
SAS - has the coupon/deal database
Avantlink - has a coupon feed
CJ - has promo links
GAN - has link subscriptions
Pepperjam - has coupon feeds
Linkshare - has web services
None of these methods provided are consistent or simple, but some custom scripting using mysql/php, you can automate processing coupons quite well.

If you are looking for software to start a coupon site try WP Coupon (google it).
Anyhow, it can be hard to start a coupon site, but I have beat out some of the top coupon sites for page 1 ranking for certain stores.
Let me tell you, from spots 1,2,3,4 and on makes a huge difference on how much money you are going to make.

If you want to know what's wrong with this country all you have to do is look to California's state legislature. State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin De Leon admitted half of his family is here illegally and he doesn't give a damn what American citizens think. He is going to rub our noses in his family's illegality by introducing a bill that would make California a sanctuary state.
… I can tell you half of my family would be eligible for deportation under [President Donald Trump's] executive order, because if they got a false Social Security card, if they got a false identification, if they got a false driver's license prior to us passing AB60, if they got a false green card, and anyone who has family members, you know, who are undocumented knows that almost entirely everybody has secured some sort of false identification. That's what you need to survive, to work. They are eligible for massive deportation.
How can this man hold public office when he is aiding and abetting criminal activity? That is identity theft and this so-called citizen is okay with that? At what point and time are we going to hold these people accountable for their actions?
This kind of government corruption is what happens in third world hellholes like Mexico.

text: I don't know if anyone has experienced this, but I've tried it on both iPhone and Evo, with the same results. If you search for a song on youtube with your PC, you get plenty of results that are the studio version of the song, along with plenty of live and cover versions. If you do the same exact search with an iPhone or Evo, (I assume other phones as well) you get the results with the studio versions omitted. An example is 14 Years, by G n' R. I've tried it with many artists, and it's always the same. Is there a restriction by either cell carriers or Youtube that I don't know about? Am I just missing something? Thanks.

Magazines build case to save coast
August 15, 2007 at 11:31 am | Mobile Reader | Print
The two magazines took somewhat different approaches to the tragic storms that passed and what lies ahead. Time concentrated on the problems that exist in New Orleans and the fact that it still is not safe from storms. Fortune, on the other hand, took a more southern route, exploring the area of Fourchon where one fifth of the nations fuel begins its journey to market.
Together, these magazines should exert a lot of pressure on the powers that be in the nation, telling them that if they dont act fast, this country will lose part of its most valuable territory. Oil, fishing and shipping make Louisiana one of the most important states in the nation which cannot live the life it has enjoyed without it.
When the French occupied New Orleans in 1718, they didnt need hurricane levees because the wetlands protected the city from storms coming in from the Gulf. Now much of those wetlands are gone and the city will be on the Gulf in 10 years unless the coast is restored.
Time asserts that New Orleans may need bigger and better levees today but it needs its eroding wetlands just as desperately. One slogan is Make Levees, Not War. Another is Fix the Coast, or We Are Toast!
Fortune reports that Port Fourchon feels like the edge of the world. What started out as a base for two companies now accomodates more than 250.
Pipelines for oil and gas extend throughout the surrounding marshes. Some that were built on top of the marsh are now six feet under water due to erosion from the Gulf.
The magazine states that it will cost some $50 billion to restore the coast during the next 30 or 40 years, most of which will have to come from the federal government. And there is fear among many Louisianians that much of that will be used for levees which is part of the problem. Building of levees along the Mississippi River were the main cause of erosion of the coast which previously was renewed yearly with silt when the Mississippi River overflowed its banks. And levees in the wetlands interfere with the natural flow of water which helps keep them healthy.
Fortune claims that many people in the state feel Louisiana sacrificed its land to bring the nation its natural resources. And now the country should come to its rescue. As longtime environmentalist and Tulane law professor Oliver Houck wrote last year, "Today we tell Congress that we sacrificed' ourselves for the national good, referring to our role in producing the oil that is powering the nation. And its clear that other states wont volunteer to replace Louisiana if our coast disappears and we cannot produce that oil in the future. Especially not California or Florida which have been fighting against drilling off their coasts for some time.
"The last time I checked," says Falgout, "there was nobody waiting in line to take Louisiana's place in servicing the energy industry. Certainly not California and Florida. The environmental impacts to moving somewhere else would be huge. And in this country, it just aint going to happen."
And so it goes. Louisiana is getting a lot of national attention to its coastal problem. The country needs us. Hopefully, it will help us solve it.
Since the federal government takes most of the tax money collected in Louisiana, it stands to reason it should divvy it out to help protect its most valuable territory. Shouldnt it?

After reading some comments here I was worried about the durability of this Nato strap, well here is my update after 1 month of almost h 24 utilization: Near mint condition!
This is, hands-down, the most comfortable watch strap I own. Beautifully smooth and silky, the colored edge really pops, and the length is perfect. I wish the vintage Bond came in this material. As others have said, the label tends to peek out and should really be stitched at both ends, but a pair of scissors fixed the problem for me in seconds.
Perfect product, I ordered this on Monday and it was delivered to the Republic of Ireland on Wednesday, it's a ZuluDiver the best!............. Thankyou
Bought this because I thought the red tint would go well with my Orient Mako 2 Black, which has a red tipped second hand, and boy does it ever. I've never had as many compliments about a watch or in particular a watch strap before.
Add to that the fact that it's extremely comfortable and looks very unique compared to the traditional nato bond strap, and you've got a great combination. Definitely worth going for.
Updated review after two weeks of use. All my comments from the first review still stand, however the stop pin holes fray easily. Though the fabric is resilient, the holes are getting progressively larger which will place a shorter-than-expected life on this strap.
Purchased to accompany my new Mondaine Stop2Go watch. The 20mm width is a perfect fit, the red is vibrant without being obnoxious. More importantly, the material - while waiting for my watch to arrive I ordered four NATO/G10 straps (one from WatchGecko). Only the WatchGecko one fits, the others are too thick and will not fit between the pin and the case. The hardware is of a high standard and appreciate having the option for a satin finish for subtlety. I just wish there was a white/black version!
Very nice material, close weave with a crisp contrasting stripe down the edge. Feels very nice to wear, it's a good length to tuck the loose end back under.
The satin hardware is spot-on, and has a very tactile finish with no roughness. As mentioned elsewhere, the label has a tendency to peek out from underneath the watch, but it doesn't bother me too much.
Doesn't stretch when wet, and dries out quickly.
After a week or so of wear, the hole is beginning to stretch and deform a little with some loose threads beginning to come away from the heat sealing. Not sure this will get any worse and tear any further, but I guess this is the trade off you make for such a soft weave material.
These are just a bit too thin in my opinion. They feel wonderful. They tend to fold/crease at the holes on the underside of your wrist. If they were 0.1 thicker but using the same weave pattern, these would probably be ideal
Obviously more colors would also be helpful as well.
These are, without exaggeration, truly fantastic NATO straps. You can tell just from the photos that the nylon weave in these straps are a lot tighter than your run of the mill NATO. I ordered 3 of these straps based on the pictures alone, and I am absolutely delighted by them.
My benchmark for the best NATO strap is the OEM Omega NATO, which is thick, smooth and sturdy. This prototype comes darned close for 1/10th the price. The only downside is that it is thinner than the Omega, but that could actually be an advantage if you like less material between the watch and your wrist.
My only critique? A desperate need for more colour options, especially a grey/black Bond version!
TL;DR: This level of quality at this sort of prices? An absolute no brainer.
A very nice matching strap to go with my Geckota K1 V24. It is very smooth and nice to touch. Very well made and definitely worth the money. I've had the same issue with the Zuludiver tag as the other reviewer to start with. However, I suggest it is tucked under the pin alongside the strap and it will not slip out anymore as the pin will keep it in place and straight. Thank you Watchgecko.
Love the strap. Would be even better if there was a 24mm option. I have an Orient diver crying out for a black/orange Zulu!
If there was such thing as lingere for your watch this strap would be it. All of these prototype straps are very well made and soft on the skin, but this one is extra silky and prompted me to write the first review of all the ones I recveived. The hardware is on point, not flimsy like straps from other sellers, and the zuludiver engraving on the buckle is a classy touch. The lenght is also good and the material is easy to fold over and tuck back into the keepers. I didn't believe the colors would be so sharp and vibrant but they are indeed as bright as the pictures make them out to be. The only thing I would suggest for a change on these straps is to stitch both ends of the zuludiver tag as it slips out the side a bit and needs to be tucked back in.

Startup Repair remains on blue background with a mouse cursor
Hi, this problem happened recently after transferring around 1GBs of data into my hard drive. Nearly the end of the transfer, i realise the transfer stops at 99% so i decided to cancel it but when i clicked on the cancel button it doesn't respond and so does my desktop icons. I went on by pressing the restart button so it reboot but it gets to the starting windows screen but no animations of the 4 colours came up. Then it prompted me that my computer have problems loading windows so i selected startup repair but it get stuck at the blue flowery background with my mouse and it does nothing. I have tried AVG Tuneup as well.
additional info: computer not overclocked all on factory settings.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Edit: It reaches the start up repair and begins searching but it takes a very long time. i restarted and tried entering windows using safe mode but when it says it loading the files it turned black and went straight to startup repair again.

Free family pass for kids with Berner Oberland Pass?
Report Abuse
Nope anyone can get them, I think for free or for a nominal fee, at Swiss stations - has to be with at least one parent - whatever the parents buy - tickets, passes, etc the kids go free - on everything even where with a Swiss Pass you may only get a reudction my understanding is that kids always go free - under 16 and with at least one parent - not granparent, brother, aunt, etc.
www.swisstravelsystem.com should have info on Family Passes and for general info on Swiss trains, etc with lots on the Berner Oberland trains in specific I always highight these IMO superb sites: www.budgeteuropetravel.com; www.ricksteves.com and www.seat61.com.
Compare the B O Pass to the Jungfraubahn Pass if mainly in the Interlaken and hills area.
Report Abuse
Thanks, PalenQ!
Report Abuse
Note that when they say when the adults buy a Swiss Transport Ticket - it means any regular ticket or a pass - you need not buy any pass just a point to point ticket or I would think the Berner Oberland pass would qualify - parent(s) have to buy something at regular value to get the Free Family Card as that card ain't valid unless the parents have a valid ticket or pass.
Just in case that was not obvious!
Report Abuse
Ok thanks. That's what I was confused about. I wasn't sure if it only applied to the Swiss Pass, or if it meant any pass, including the BO Pass, which seems to be the best fit for us.
Report Abuse
Our experience is that free travel for children does not apply for all passes in Switzerland. We have had to buy a card for the kids separately when travelling on the adult half fare card on more than one occasion. Last time we did it it was 30chf per child (under 16 if I remember correctly), which is still very cheap. I would check for the specific pass you want to buy. Both swisstravelsystem and sbb.ch have contact details if you can't find out online. Alternatively, just ask when you get there and buy your pass.
Report Abuse
Thanks Dreamon, maybe I'll shoot them an email to double check.
Report Abuse
Looks like it's a no for the free Swiss Family Pass with the Berner Oberland Pass. I received an email response today from sbb.ch and they do not consider the BO Pass part of the Swiss Travel System.
So I guess I'll be buying the Swiss Pass instead! Am I correct that the cable cars above Grindelwald, Murren, and Wengen are not covered by Swiss Pass? They do add up.
Report Abuse
Yes those are covered only 25% above Grindelwald and Wengen and 50% to the Schilthorn from Murren. Also since the Siwss franc appreciated about 15% check pass prices in US $ if an American - I recently checked and there were significant savings buying here now due to the re-evaluation of the Swiss franc. check for U.S. prices at the sites I mentioned above.
Sorry about being wrong about the Family Pass - i really thought folks here said that it worked but looking back it does say if you buy any SBB product - and check out the Jungfraubahn Pass see if they have a child's fare, etc.
Report Abuse
No problem PalenQ. Thanks for your help!
Report Abuse
Ok, it now looks like you cannot get a free Swiss Family Pass with the BO Regional pass, but you CAN get a Junior Travel Card for a flat rate of 30 CHF that is a good for a year of travel for a child.
Report Abuse
I wouldn't change your choice of pass just to get the kids for free when it's only 30chf each for them anyway.
Report Abuse
Yes, I didn't realize the 30CHF child pass was an option until yesterday. So I'll get two of those for the kids and then 2 BO regional passes, which will cover everything. Thanks for all of the help.
Report Abuse
does the Junior travel Card provide for free travel for the kids or a discount? I am not familiar with it and wish to clarify that - a great deal anyway.
Report Abuse
Not sure if B O Passes give free entry to museums and sights like Swiss Pass does but ask - and the one for kids and adults to love is the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum high above Lake Brienz (bus from Brienz train station/boat dock) - great family place of traditional Swiss crafts, farming and buildings brought here from all over the region.
Report Abuse
Junior Travel card is a flat rate of 30 CHF and provides free travel for kids for one year, as long as they are traveling with an adult. I'm definitely planning on the Ballenberg museum- my kids will love it. Trying to decide if we can do a boat tour or kayak on the lake on the same day, or if we should allow 2 days for both? The BO pass doesn't give free entry, but it does provide a discount there, as well as the Pfingstegg toboggan, the First zipline, and Trotti bikes. Plus all trains and cable cars free in the BO region. I will have to pay for our ticket from Lugano to the point where the BO pass covers.
Report Abuse
Yes easy to do a boat cruise on Lake Brienz and Ballenberg the same day and what a sweet day it will be - take the train down to Interlaken-Ost station and behind the station hop on the boat and cruise to Brienz - take the mini-bus to Ballenberg - if you have time later take the Rothorn Bahn steam train up the mountain behind Brienz - assume that will all be covered by the B O Pass.
Report Abuse
On the lake you would probably also have time to get off the boat at Geissbach Falls - take the antique funicular up to the roaring falls and famous hotel there - then board another boat to Brienz - may be a bitmuch for kids though but an interesting stop and they may love the old funicular from the docks and the falls.

Great info, thanks!

How old are your kids? Interlaken has a summer luge that is very popular and also an Alpine theme park for families and the William Tell Playhouse with Tell plays and others that could be fun for all ages.

Not sure how old you kids are but presume under 16 the age cut off for kids passes often - anyway maybe for a break from the rigors of sightseeing/activities treat them to their own day - if old enough at the Jungfrau Theme Park:

Digital Marketing is way more than having a website!
Want your business to be working for you when you sleep or spend time with your family? This one's for you!
When done right, Digital Marketing works for you when you're away from your desk.
How is this different from having a website?
Having a website floating around in cyberspace is a good start, but without a strategy and automation to support your marketing efforts, it's not very different from leaving business cards in random places and hoping the right person picks it up.
A complete Digital Marketing Strategy uses different processes and tools to promote your brand online, engage with customers, build brand loyalty, support your sales cycle and establish your credibility.
Set up a Digital Marketing Strategy…
and let your business work for you while you focus on more important things
Customer Value Optimization
Understand your customer journey and set-up your website and automation tools to accompany your customer from awareness and lead generation to paying customer to brand advocate.
With this optimized funnel you will:
- reduce customer acquisition costs
- increase both immediate and lifetime customer values
To achieve this, we first work together to understand your customer journey and various touch points.
Once this is clear we develop lead generating pages and content on your website, select advertising channels and create automations in ActiveCampaign.
Search Optimization
SEO isn't dead, but it has changed. Thanks to Googles Panda and Penguin updates, the old rules of SEO no longer apply. Today, to get ranked (and stay ranked), the traditional variables such as links and keyword density aren't enough.
First, a 23 point Search Marketing audit will help identify any short comings on both the Domain Level and Page Level that might be impacting your search rankings negatively. This audit will hightlight how to improve your website and individual pages to get better organic search ranking.
We can then work together to optimize your website for Intent Based Search Optimization, by:
- understanding how and when your customers look for your services
- choosing channels to communicate in
- then optimize your content and site structure for converting visitors into customers
Content Marketing
To build your brand's authority and nurture client and prospect relationships in an authentic way, you must deliver value in advance.
And providing valuable, entertaining and authentic content is how you do just that.
Working together we will:
- learn how to write and implement a content marketing strategy
- craft content that spreads a brand's message to new and existing audiences by providing genuine value in advance
- integrate this content onto your website
- create a publication calendar to keep you on track
- choose web platforms to drive traffic back to your website
Social Media & Community
Social media properties such as Facebook and Twitter are arguably the most important customer engagement channels for brands today.
They can't be ignored (nor should they) because this is where your customers are hanging out.
Together we'll architect both inbound and outbound strategies that will build real relationships and advocate for your brands message.
By the end of the workshop you will understand and know how to :
- use social media to support your sales cycle
- manage your reputation through social listening
- increase engagement and traffic by connecting with influencers
- Develop strategic partnerships through social networking
The Digital Marketer Way!
A proven approach get you leads and sales so your business can work for you while you focus on more important things
Dee is a certified Digital Marketer specialist.
Digital Marketer methods are developed in-house by expert marketing practitioners who actually market…as a profession…every day.
The Digital Marketer approach is practical, hands on and tested approach to helping you get more leads and sales using the power of digital marketing so you can focus on more important things in your business.

FOXBORO -- Count Bill Belichick among those who are not surprised by Brian Waters' absence.
The veteran guard did not report to training camp yesterday, but Belichick said today that Waters' situation is "basically the same as it was in minicamp."
Back in June, Belichick said that Waters had been excused from minicamp for personal reasons.
"Obviously he had a great year," Belichick said at the time. "He played a lot and he played well."
It sounds as though the Patriots are depending on Waters to work what Patriots Insider Tom E. Curran calls "banker's hours." They likely trust him to arrive to Foxboro before the season begins -- he showed up last year during the first week in September -- and be in good shape when he gets here.
Yesterday, Waters was mum on his plans for this season.
"Im not really talking about it, youll have to talk to the Patriots about it, he told Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe. At this moment, Im not really discussing the situation. Right now Im just handling things between me and the team. If they want to talk to you, thats fine but Im not really talking about it.
Youre just going to have to talk to the team. Im allowing them to handle all the media stuff right now. Were going to do it this way, because its the best way to do it.
When Belichick was asked today about the chances of Waters retiring, he was similarly deflective.
"You'll have to ask him," Belichick said.
The coach was then told that Waters had already directed all questions back to him, and he smiled.
"I couldn't comment on anybody else's career," Belichick said. "Playing, not playing, anything like that. That's for them to talk about not me."
So we continue to wait on word from Waters. But the man in charge doesn't seem to be all that concerned.

The Islamic State group (ISIS) saw its territory in Iraq and Syria shrink almost 10 percent in the first six months of the year, as recent victories in Palmyra and Ramadi were outweighed by "significant" losses elsewhere, a report said.
The area in which Islamic State is the dominant military force now spans about 82,940 square kilometers (32,000 square miles), the U.K.-based research center IHS said in a study published Friday. That's about the size of Austria. The militants lost territory in north Syria near the Turkish border, and in Iraq around the city of Tikrit.
The group's reverses in Syria mostly came at the hands of Kurds and associated Sunni groups, starting with defeat at Kobani early in the year, report author Columb Strack said in an e-mailed reply to questions.
The real breakthrough though "came with the capture of the Tal Abyad border crossing last month, which was the Islamic State's main access point to the Turkish border from its de- facto capital in Raqqa," he said.
In Iraq, most of the territory lost was in the northern province of Salahuddin, most notably Tikrit, which had been seized by Islamic State during its lightening advance across the country's north last year. It was recaptured by Iraqi forces in March. Islamic State also failed to hold key areas in the central Anbar province, such as the supply corridor from the Syrian border to the provincial capital Ramadi.

Contrary to popular belief, boats are actually much safer than cars, which inexplicably sink every time you drive them on water. Take a proper water road ride with today's Groupon: for $99, you get a two-hour semiprivate cruise for two (46 passengers total) from Captains Source (a $200 value).
Captains Source whisks seafaring explorers off to an array of water-wandering pursuits and expands minds in history and ecology while aboard a luxurious 43-foot sailboat. The Charleston SC harbor cruise plunges patrons into the history of the waterways with a look at the city's essential role in the United States' first settlements. Expand minds with an overview of culture-shaping events, including the American Revolution and the Civil War, and an examination of the area's current infestation of mutated man-sharks. While floating along the magnificent harbor, amiable USCG-certified sea captains narrate tales of patriotic escapades and Blackbeard's treasure-hunting adventures, recounted in an engaging tone that captivates passengers of all ages and dispositions toward pirates.

When someone's life is at risk paramedics will try to save their lives with CPR. But technology is ever-changing and recently the Bridgeport Fire Department has acquired a new machine that makes compressions more accurate, and could possibly save more lives.
It's called the Lund University Cardiac Arrest System, or LUCAS.
The Bridgeport Fire Department acquired the machine through EMS funds, and Chief Robert Seccuro said this device is for the benefit of the patients.
"Having this type of equipment and being able to effectively treat them in emergency cases like this will only make their treatment better," said Seccuro.
The device is made up of two main pieces, and is designed to perform perfect compressions.
"It's also going to give proper compressions every time. One of the things we run into with the human factor is guys get tired, their hand position changes, and stuff like that. Through the doing of repetitive motions stuff changes, this will stay the same every time, so we are getting proper compressions every time," explained Seccuro.
In addition to providing perfect, accurate compressions, the LUCAS machine also allows the EMT's to perform other tasks.
"We can set this on the patient and let it do its job while it frees up another guy to go and do whether it be intubations, starting an IV, administering medication, different things of that nature. It is a reprogrammable device so if the American Heart Association changes their standards we can have it reprogrammed to follow suit with what their recommendations are," explained Steve Pill, a Bridgeport Fire Fighter and EMT.

Haribo sells sweets that look EXACTLY like ecstasy pills
HARIBO is selling DJ-themed sweets that look strikingly similar to the class A drug ecstasy.
The confectioner behind Gold Bears, Starmix, Twin Cherries and Tangfastics raised eyebrows over the pill-shaped sweets that "pack a slightly acidic note" according to its website.
DJ Brause Sauer — which translates to DJ Sherbet — comes in an array of neon colours and range in flavour from herbal plant Woodruff, cola, lemon, strawberry, raspberry and orange.
A cartoon DJ spinning the decks with his eyes popping from the "fizz" adorns the packaging.
Those who lived through the early 90s rave era could draw parallels between indentations on the Haribo sweets and signature raised symbols that often appear on ecstasy tablets.
The similarities did not go unnoticed in cult rave rag Mixmag, which wrote: "We're definitely digging the early 90s smiley culture references, be they intended or not."
Another blog Dancing Astronaut likened the sweets to "candy cigarettes for the rave generation".
Faced with allegations that the sweetmaker is cashing in on drug-culture, Haribo said it "takes our social responsibility very seriously" and that the jellies are simply DJ equipment buttons.
But dance music magazines, clubbers and blogs have pointed out that DJ Brause Slaeur's psychedelic branding and acidic colour mimics the slew of dangerous E tablets flooding the UK market.
"You know you're middle aged when you're more shocked by a product's sugar content than you are by a drugs reference "Justine Roberts, Mumsnet
Brightly coloured Red Wolf, Cookie Monster and Facebook ecstasy pills are increasing in popularity thanks to their attractive appearance and branding including Lambhorgini, Tesla and Louis Vuitton emblems.
This new wave of brightly coloured pills follow a spike in deaths across Britain, Daily Star Online revealed.
Mumsnet founder Justine Roberts believes we should be more concerned about a different kind of addiction, however.
She said: "You know you're middle aged when you're more shocked by a product's sugar content than you are by a drugs reference that's likely to go way over most children's heads."
A spokesperson from HARIBO Germany said: "Haribo has more than 90 years of brand and product development experience.
"We take our social responsibility very seriously and conduct comprehensive product tests before launching a new product.
"Sour sherbet products and the topic of music are very popular among young people.
"The button shapes of the product pieces of DJ BRAUSE, which is a product available within Germany, are solely derived from typical icons from the world of music, for instance buttons for play, pause, rewind etc."
The UK's alcohol, drugs and tobacco chief at Public Health England condemned items that "normalise risky behaviours, such as drug use."
She told The Daily Star Online: "While the number of young people smoking, drinking and taking drugs continues to fall, it remains important that we do not normalise risky behaviours, such as drug use.
"Good education alongside accessible information should be an integral part of building resilience in young people and central to any local strategy to reduce drug use. Public Health England supports local authorities to provide a full range of services for young people, to give all children the best possible start to a healthy future."

On January 12, 2015, California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) proposed the first significant revisions to Proposition 65's warning requirements since the 1980s. The updated regulations seek to change the requirements for warnings provided for exposures to chemicals identified by the State to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Notably, the proposal would require warnings to specify certain listed chemicals by name, and it creates an informational OEHHA website to host detailed information for the public about exposures to listed chemicals.
California's Proposition 65 requires OEHHA to publish a list of chemicals known to the State to cause cancer or developmental or reproductive toxicity. The law requires businesses offering products or services in California that expose any person to a listed chemical above a threshold level to provide a "clear and reasonable" warning prior to such exposure. OEHHA's current regulations provide "safe harbor" warnings that businesses can rely upon to comply with the statute.
Key Changes in the Proposal:
- Changes to the Safe Harbor Provisions: In order to satisfy the statute's requirement to be "clear and reasonable," warnings must state that the product "can expose you to a chemical …" known to the State to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, rather than the current safe harbor language that simply states that the product "contains a chemical…." The proposal will also require a graphic and a link to a website to be maintained by OEHHA. Warnings must be provided in multiple languages for product labels or signs that use different languages.
- Warnings Must Identify Certain Listed Chemicals: Warnings for products and services that would expose a person to one or more identified chemicals above a threshold level would be required to identify those chemicals, by name, in the warning. These chemicals are:
- Acrylamide
- Formaldehyde
- Arsenic
- Hexavalent Chromium
- Benzene
- Lead
- Cadmium
- Mercury
- Carbon Monoxide
- Methylene Chloride
- Chlorinated Tris
- Phthalates
The mandate to businesses to identify chemicals by name will be a significant departure from the current regulations and aims to prompt businesses operating in California to evaluate the potential presence of these chemicals in their products. Furthermore, the regulations permit OEHHA to revise this list on an ongoing basis; while such revisions will include notice and opportunity to comment, businesses can expect to provide repeated updates to their warning labels.
- More Detailed Requirements for Certain Warnings: The proposed regulations contain additional requirements for warnings regarding exposure to chemicals in certain identified products and exposure scenarios: food exposure, alcoholic beverages, prescription drugs, dental care, raw wood products, furniture products, diesel engines, passenger vehicles, enclosed parking facilities, amusement parks, petroleum products, service stations, and designated smoking areas.
- OEHHA Website: The proposed regulations would require that all warnings include the address of a new OEHHA website. The website will include information related to the chemicals at issue, including common routes or pathways of exposure, relevant toxic effects, and strategies for avoiding or reducing exposures. OEHHA describes the focus of the website to be collection of and increased accessibility to existing, publicly available information, but the regulations also authorize the agency to request that businesses provide detailed product information related to specific product exposures for publication upon the website.
Although the proposal is clear that the regulations creating and implementing the website are not enforceable by private plaintiffs, the website's content would provide a consolidated source of information that interested parties may seek to use in product liability suits against businesses operating in California.
- Directs Responsibilities to Product Manufacturers: The proposed regulations attempt to address relative responsibilities for providing warnings to manufacturers, distributors, producers, and packagers versus retail sellers. The proposal places responsibility for providing the warnings squarely on manufacturers, distributors and producers. In most cases, retailers would only need to provide the name and contact information for such entities if requested, and would only be required to create warnings under limited circumstances.
If adopted, these new regulations are expected to change the strategies that businesses use to comply with Proposition 65. Under the existing regulations, many businesses have found it easier simply to provide a Proposition 65 compliant warning rather than undertake the costly exposure assessment allowed under the rule to demonstrate that the product does not pose a significant risk. Businesses may reevaluate this approach in light of the increased requirements and litigation potential expanded under the new regulations.
OEHHA is accepting written comments on these proposed changes until April 8, 2015 and will hold a public hearing in Sacramento on March 25, 2015.

NAME: Watterson-Terry-Allen House
ADDRESS: 740 Milledge Circle
CLASSIC NICHE: ''This house is the perfect complement to the antiques that have been given to us through my family. It has a look that serves as the right background for old things,'' said Lucy Allen, who along with husband Heyward Allen Jr., owns the Watterson-Terry-Allen House.
The Allens' house is a Colonial Revival-style structure, reflecting the look of a home built 100 years before its time. Most buildings considered to be Colonial Revival were built between 1880 and 1955. The Allen house was completed by 1940.
According to McAlester's Field Guide to American Houses, ''The Philadelphia Centennial of 1876 is credited with first awakening an interest in our colonial architectural heritage.'' Leading architects of the day, McKim, Mead, White, and Bigelow, toured New England following the Centennial of Philadelphia and studied the Georgian and Adam-style homes built by the colonists. By 1886 they had completed construction of two landmark houses, which used elements of style found in the colonists early examples, and thus began the Colonial Revival style.
These new homes were not meant to be historically correct copies, but rather a tribute to the aspects of colonial style admired by architects. The facade usually features symmetrically balanced windows and a center door, which is accentuated with architectural details. In the case of the Allen house, large molding around the sidelights and transom highlight the front door.
HISTORY: Architect Roy Hitchcock designed the Allen house for its original owners, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Watterson. The exact construction date for the home is unclear although it is certain that it was completed in 1940. Hitchcock is credited with the design of many buildings in Athens, including the University of Georgia's Gilbert Infirmary and Rutherford Hall.
Hubert Bond Owens, the first dean of the School of Environmental Design at the University of Georgia, sited the house on what is believed to have been the old Cloverhurst Country Club. The Wattersons were close friends of Edward Reginald Hodgson Jr., who aside from being a prominent citizen of Athens also owned an oil refinery in Farmington. Hodgson was building a new home for his family and made use of bricks from a building being torn down at the refinery. These bricks were reported to be close to 100 years old at the time, and were hand made on the Farmington site. Hodgson generously offered to give Watterson enough bricks to build his home free of charge.
Seeing the unusual beauty of the old bricks, Watterson accepted the gift. Mrs. Hodgson joked that her home, which remains today at 6050 Jefferson Road, did not have the colonnade or garage that she had wanted because her husband gave away the rest of their bricks.
The mantels in the home were brought in as antiques at the time of the homes' construction. Some sources say they came from old homes around Athens, while others claim Mrs. Watterson brought them in from her native Kentucky. The Palladian window in the rear of the home was brought in from an old Athens house, although which one remains unclear.
According to the Architectural Glossary presented by About.com, ''A Palladian window is a large window which is divided into three parts. The center section is larger than the two side sections, and is usually arched.'' It is this Palladian window that Allen gives as her favorite architectural feature in the home. The chandelier in the entry hall was originally part of the old C&S Bank building, and came to the home during the time when Watterson was president of that bank. The Wattersons purchased another chandelier for the house on a trip to Italy and had it shipped back to the States. When they unpacked the fixture, they realized it was in small pieces and the instructions were written in Italian. It took many weeks to finally assemble the chandelier that remains in the dining room today.
Mr. and Mrs. Don Terry purchased the home in the 1960s and added a wing to each side, one functioning as a guest room and one as a den. The wood used in the den is two-inch thick heart pine that was salvaged from a warehouse belonging to Wilkins Industries in Athens. The warehouse had suffered a fire and the owners were glad to let their friends make use of the wood that survived undamaged.
In 1984 the Allens purchased the home, and they too enjoy a friendship with the Wilkins family, which would prove very helpful. Five years ago when the Allens added bookcases to the den, the Wilkins allowed them to get more wood from the warehouse so that the new work would match the original features in the room.
This held a special place in Lucy Allen's heart, as her late mother had long dreamed of owning it herself. Allen says, ''Mother used to come over and pick things in the yard. She enjoyed visiting here so much. Anyone interested in local history or art will enjoy touring our home. My grandfather's grandfather was Howell Cobb, and we are fortunate enough to have many pieces of furniture that belonged to him. We also have a collection of Lamar Dodd paintings that we think are special.''
The Allen house will represent Colonial Revival Style in the Bicentennial Celebration of Athens Architecture planned for April. The celebration includes a tour of many of Athens' oldest and finest homes. Tickets can be purchased at the Athens Welcome Center.
