Copywriting is just one of the elements that combine to make up an effective ecommerce product page.
The product description needs to be informative and sell the benefits of the item, while also being concise enough to retain the customer's interest.
Copywriting also goes some way to contributing to a brand's identity, as the tone and type of language used will impact how customers perceive the site.
To show the extent to which the quality of copywriting varies among major retailers I've pulled together nine examples of product descriptions for the same pair of Levi 510 skinny jeans.

Is it any wonder that those in need of a loan (and a fast one) turn to Wonga and not a high street bank?
One is approachable and colourful and isn't full of boring text or ambiguous wording, and the other is an institution the public has gradually learned to call the enemy.
Of course, the two aren't really comparable. The need to turn to Wonga is often caused by desperation (and being desperate is a reality for lots of people post 2008). And Wonga itself is gradually acquiring a reputation as not exactly a pillar of the community, as many are educated about the realities of interest rates.
However, despite selling different products, Wonga still has lots to teach the high street banks. More and more customers turn to banking websites before their branches, but the bank websites are often dry and difficult to use (albeit with some very nice mobile app alternatives).
So, to demonstrate how the user experience for some banks compares to Wonga, I'm going to look at the recently re-launched 'people's bank', or TSB. And for a fairer comparison, I'll look at Lloyds Bank, too.
Chiefly I'll look at the 'approachability' of the homepage and the copy therein, as totems for the service on offer.

Before we get started, I have two apologies to make: one to every company featured in this blog post (my opinion obviously has little bearing on the success of your marketing efforts), and another for writing a post with a wholly negative premise.
In my defence, it's often a lot easier to run your own emails against a checklist of 'do nots', as it arguably supplies some super-quick fixes.
Anyway, off we go.

Webinars are annoying, ultimately, because we are designed for face to face communication. However, they are extremely useful if your colleagues and customers are 'global'.
There are many annoying things about webinar tech, but most of them centre on UX. And central to UX is getting your language right.
Webex, as my chosen example, simply didn't work with a good copywriter when laying out its back-end and webinar UI. I can't speak for others such as Adobe Connect, as I haven't used them myself.
I don't think Webex is attempting to appear natty or complex, using slightly mystifying words or combinations of words. It's just badly written.
Here are some examples:

Detailed product information is essential for achieving conversions as customers obviously can't touch the product so retailers need to provide all the relevant details through images, product descriptions, reviews and videos.
This is an easy enough task for simple product such as DVDs, books and some clothing items, but electronics and other technical products require a great deal more information.
The challenge is then to try and present all the relevant information in a clear and concise manner that doesn't cause the reader to lose interest and go elsewhere.
A case in point is the Samsung 3D 51" plasma TV which retails at around £1,800. It's not the sort of purchase that most people will make on a whim, so retailers have to provide detailed information to ensure customers are happy to part with their cash.
With this in mind, I browsed a number of ecommerce sites to see how they deal with product descriptions for this particular TV.

It has been a long-standing belief of mine that writers need to create headlines that sell, in order to persuade people to click.
A descriptive headline isn't good enough, despite what the SEO Class Of 2006 might tell you, and neither is a clever pun, which will no doubt horrify traditional sports journalists all over the world.
Adding a punchy or emotive word to a headline is absolutely vital to enticing that all-important click, and it can really help encourage sharing.
This is where adjectives and verbs come into play.

We had a hunch that word choice in email subject lines have a strong effect on response rates. So, we tested 287 keywords across a sample of 2.2bn emails to see which work, and which don't.
Why? Because President Obama has done more for email marketing than any world leader in the history of mankind. How? By focusing on subject line testing, his digital team optimised their donation campaigns to generate hundreds of millions of dollars online.
Despite Obama's best efforts, most marketers still view email marketing as the Bluth Company's Banana Stand of Arrested Development fame: a more boring and less sexy marketing channel than pretty much anything else imaginable.
But – and never forget this – there's always money in the banana stand! There is great power in optimising subject lines.

What would it take to get you to do what I want? If I looked you in the eye when asking? If it was a Tuesday? If your name sounded like mine?
According to scientists, it's the last. We feel more warmly towards people or things we associate with ourselves, like if my name was Mary Anne and yours was Marilyn. They're close enough in sound and visual likeness that I'd be more apt to do you a favor than one for, say, Richard or Jennifer.
These kinds of findings, argued Nancy Harhut at Integrated Marketing Week, have implications for marketers because we're trying to get people to do things all the time: click on a link, choose our product over another, like our company on Facebook.
Knowing the instinctive, reflexive behaviors that people rely on when making decisions helps our marketing strategies and how we go about designing the prompts or triggers to get others to do what we want.

Marines face captive death trial
3:15am Wednesday 23rd October 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
Three Royal Marines will go trial today accused of killing a captured Afghan national.
The servicemen, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, face a court martial charged with murder while on active duty in Afghanistan.
The commandos, known in court as Marines A, B and C, are accused of murdering an unknown captured Afghan national on or about September 15 2011 contrary to Section 42 of the Armed Forces Act (2006).
The prosecution of two others, known as Marines D and E, was discontinued earlier this year by the Service Prosecution Authority.
An anonymity order, granted last year to protect the identities of the five by Judge Advocate General Jeff Blackett remains in force until further notice.
Making the ruling last November, the judge said the defendants would be at "real and immediate risk" from "organised terrorist activity and 'lone wolves'", if their names were made public.
The marines were arrested by the Royal Military Police in October last year, after suspicious video footage was found on a serviceman's laptop by civilian police in the UK.
The trial will take place at the Military Court Centre in Bulford, Wiltshire, and could last up to three weeks before Judge Blackett.
The three defendants have been released on bail.

Bold and Beautiful Recaps
B&B Week of November 15, 2010
At home, Ridge made a latte for Brooke. She told him how much she loved him. "It's just coffee," he cracked. She added how grateful she is that he forgave her for the Thomas incident. He suggested that she work from home for a few days and she liked the idea. She was determined to convince Stephanie that Thomas's kiss was just a publicity stunt.
Taylor sat in her bed and kept watching the video of Brooke and Thomas kissing. Whip reminded her that it wasn't a big deal, but she was concerned about her son getting caught up in Brooke's drama. After, Whip called Ridge and asked him to stop by so that he could help Taylor deal with everything. He left the exes alone to talk. Taylor confided how upset she was over Thomas's actions. Ridge understood and pulled her into an embrace. He agreed that the kiss was inappropriate, but noted that it was just a stunt. "Brooke is not trying to harm our son," he stated, but Taylor wanted her rival to stay away. Ridge said that she could call him if she needed to talk. They agreed that they'd always love each other and cherish the years that they spent together. Taylor bashed Brooke by stating that Brooke can't avoid scandals. Ridge replied that it's over and Thomas is safe.
At Forrester Creations, Thomas undressed and then stared at a photo of Brooke. He thought back to the kiss. Madison interrupted and expressed her admiration of Thomas's physique. He quickly got dressed and explained that he had to make some changes to his men's line, per Brooke's notes. Madison replied that Brooke knows her stuff — especially how to kiss. Marcus interrupted and asked if something was going on. Thomas replied that it was just Madison being Madison. He then questioned Thomas about kissing Brooke and Thomas replied that people finally recognize his line.
At the beach house, Oliver awoke in bed with Amber, but thought about Hope. Amber asked if he had regrets about being with her and he said that he didn't. Amber thanked him for letting her stay. He offered to make her breakfast, but she knew that he really wanted to be with Hope. She added that she doesn't have any expectations and just wants Ollie as a friend. They kissed. Later, Ollie made her pancakes and Amber thanked him for forgiving her.
At the Forrester manse, Bridget took care of a recovering Stephanie. Brooke soon stopped by and Steph sarcastically asked if she'd kissed anyone inappropriate that day. Brooke asked if they could speak privately. Bridget left and Brooke shared that Ridge has forgiven her. She then asked if Steph could forgive her, as well, but Stephanie refused. Brooke reminded her of all they'd been through over the past few weeks. Stephanie was angry with her for humiliating her family. "I thought that you and I would be able to do something wonderful together for other people," Steph sighed. Brooke promised that there would be no more indiscretions, but Stephanie didn't believe her. Brooke again tried to explain how Thomas had roped her into his stunt, but Steph thought that she should've acted like a responsible adult. "You'd better stay away from my grandson," Stephanie warned. Brooke left, dejected.
Thomas sat alone and thought about how his mom had warned him of Brooke being trouble. He again eyed the photo of Brooke and then looked at the tabloid cover that featured their kiss. He kept flashing back to the smooch. Brooke interrupted and he dropped the magazine. She became suspicious when he locked the door for privacy. She sensed that something was bothering him and asked if he wanted to talk about the kiss. He stated that the kiss would happen again and again — whether they liked it or not. "Something happened," he declared. "My life has been changed forever."
At Forrester Creations, Thomas told Brooke that their kiss is going to be viewed over and over again, around the world. "It's the most powerful kiss I've ever felt; it's an iconic moment," he stated. "Our kiss has a life of its own." Brooke was just relieved that he didn't want to kiss her again. However, he told her that when he gets married, he wants to find a woman just like her — but added that he respects her marriage to Ridge. Brooke warned him that Ridge is upset and might pull the men's line. Thomas asked if things were okay between his dad and Brooke; she said that they were, but that she was never going to participate in another stunt. Thomas felt badly for possibly hurting her and Ridge's relationship.
Outside of FC, the paparazzi bombarded Ridge with questions about the kiss. Ridge reminded them that the show was about the men's line and not the smooch, but the reporters (including Jarrett) continued to pepper him with queries. Ridge shoved through them and headed inside. He joined Brooke and Thomas and noted that the kiss was garnering a lot of attention, and wondered what they should do about it. Later, Eric, Rick and Thorne arrived so they discuss the scandal. Eric thought that they should drop the men's line, calling it "tainted." Ridge argued that they're making headlines.
At the beach house, Amber thanked Oliver for being so cool about everything. She offered to help him clean or do laundry — or wax his surfboard. He joked that if she wants to be his maid, she should put on a little outfit. She confided that he's her only friend and didn't understand how he could be so forgiving. After, Aggie called and complained to Oliver about Amber, stating that Amber should be arrested. Amber quietly giggled as she listened. Still, Amber thought that she did deserve to go to jail for stealing the designs. She wondered why he didn't turn her in and warned him that she has a history of hurting people whom she cares about. Amber was about to leave, but Oliver had a hunch that he could actually trust her. He decided to work from home so he could hang out with his "friend" for the day.
At Taylor and Whip's, he asked if her talk with Ridge helped her feel better. She replied that it did, but was still obsessed over the idea of Brooke and Thomas working together.
Ridge surprised everyone at FC when he suggested that they run with the scandal and use it to promote the men's line. Thorne called it "taboo." "Exactly," replied Ridge enthusiastically. Thomas was thrilled and loved Ridge's decision to name it Taboo. Ridge was ready to give the public a show — and wanted to incorporate the kiss into the logo. Taylor later arrived and demanded that Brooke get away from Thomas. She saw the Taboo logo and believed that it was Brooke's idea. Ridge set her straight and explained that it was his brainstorm. Taylor was furious. "I will not allow it!" she stated.
Taylor was furious that Ridge wanted to call Thomas's men's line "Taboo" and use the kiss to promote it. She refused to "allow" it, but Thomas noted that she didn't get a say. Ridge pointed out that the kiss was helping business at Forrester Creations and Thomas agreed. Taylor called him irresponsible. "It was just a kiss," Thomas repeated, but Taylor wasn't appeased. "It puts me on the map. I'm proud of what I've done," Thomas said. Brooke accused Taylor of overreacting, but Taylor disagreed. "You have no decency, no class," Taylor shouted. Thomas asked his mother to stop treating him like a child, but she feared that Brooke would take advantage of him. Thomas called her crazy, but Taylor went on a rant about how Brooke has seduced all of the Forrester men. Thomas shared that he went on a date with Madison, but it still didn't make Taylor feel better.
Eric kept Stephanie company at the hospital while she waited to get the results of her latest exam. She planned to take the bus home, but he didn't want her to do that. She then told him that he could go, but Eric wanted to be there with her. She warned that she'll be extra crabby while undergoing chemo and will lose her hair. Eric was prepared to be there for her every step of the way and looked forward to spending many more years with her. Dr. Lewis joined them and reminded Stephanie that as long as she keeps fighting, there was hope. "I'm in need of a miracle," Stephanie admitted. Dr. Lewis revealed that Steph's results are promising. Dayzee soon arrived and Stephanie gave her the great news. Dayzee was thrilled. Dayzee had more good news: her friend was released from rehab and got her baby back. The doc then told Stephanie that she could get the tumors removed from her brain that day. Stephanie was intrigued when Dr. Lewis explained that it wasn't traditional surgery and that it would be done with lasers — and that she'd be up and about the next day. "Let's do it," Stephanie said. Before heading into the OR, Steph told Eric how much she loves him. He and Dayzee watched as she was wheeled away and Eric gave the young woman a comforting squeeze.
Ridge got a call from Eric about Stephanie's procedure. Brooke suggested that they take a break from their discussion, but Taylor continued to go on and on. Ridge implored Taylor to not involve Stephanie since she had other things to deal with. He and Brooke were about to head to the hospital, but Taylor stopped them and said that she's going to fight them. Ridge basically blew past her as he replied that Brooke and Thomas make a great team.... Stephanie marveled at how high-tech the machine was. A concerned Eric watched. Dayzee called Stephanie a remarkable woman. Eric promised to do more to help Steph with her cause and said that he doesn't want to live without her.
At Forrester Creations, Hope met Liam for lunch. He joked about having to work a lot and she asked if he'd be her date to her "Endless Summer" party. He agreed and said how much he misses her. Hope understood that he was busy at Spencer Publications. Hope then confessed to him about Oliver kissing her twice. Liam wasn't surprised and said that Hope should be upset with him since he'd been neglecting her. Hope replied that Liam would make it up to her by being her date. She later said that she feels like she's grown up a lot over the past few months and reminded him how much he means to her. He asked if Oliver was invited and Hope confirmed that he was; she planned to stop Ollie from chasing after her. Liam asked Hope to promise that she won't forget about him, and promised that he won't forget her. He vowed to be a better boyfriend.
At Oliver's, Amber found an invitation to Hope's party. He said that he wasn't planning to go and reminded her that she could stay as long as she wants. Amber wanted to show her appreciation by helping him get back Hope. Oliver reminded her that Hope is with Liam, but Amber didn't see the other guy as being much of an obstacle. She implored Ollie to go to the party and bring Hope home so they could sleep together. She planned to come up with a way to make Liam miss the party.
Stephanie's procedure continued at the hospital. The doctors, Eric and Dayzee spoke to her while the medics worked and Stephanie joked about wishing she were home sipping a martini. Ridge and Brooke arrived and Dr. Lewis explained how they were using highly focused radiation to get rid of the tumors. Everyone was hopeful that Steph wouldn't need conventional brain surgery. While they waited for the results, they discussed the FC scandal. Ridge was willing to take a chance with the Taboo line. Soon, the procedure was completed and the gang went to see Stephanie. Steph was happy to have them there — even Brooke. Brooke shared that they're moving ahead with the men's line. Stephanie didn't like the name "Taboo" and wasn't surprised that Taylor was so upset about it. She asked Brooke what she planned to do next and reamed her out for going along with Taboo. Brooke argued that it was Ridge's idea and insisted that she has nothing going on with Thomas. She promised that there would be no more scandals and urged Steph not to be paranoid like Taylor. Brooke then reminded her mother-in-law of the amazing moments they'd shared together. "I'm never going to have any peace from you," Stephanie cracked. Brooke was determined to be by her side until she was cancer free. "Is that a promise or a threat?" Steph asked. "A promise," Brooke replied.
Hope made some calls about her "Endless Summer" party. She then took a call from Liam, who said that he'd meet her at the party. She asked him not to be late and he promised to be there with her. Katie and Bill joined him and Liam repeated that he's not letting his girlfriend down. Katie was glad to hear that, but Bill didn't look thrilled about the party.... Hope lamented to Madison about how busy Liam has been. Still, Hope thought that they were in a good place. Madison reminded her how absence makes the heart grow fonder and joked about sexual tension. Hope admitted that she and Liam haven't yet slept together, but added that she's been thinking about it. Madison also hoped that she and Thomas would grow closer at the party.
Meanwhile, Amber encouraged Oliver to make his move on Hope at the party. He wasn't sure that it would work, but Amber stated that he's an incredible guy. She assured him that she'd "take care" of Liam. She made some calls to get information on Liam and instructed Ollie to bring Hope back to his place. After, Oliver called Hope to let her know that he'll be at the party. Madison wondered how Liam would feel, but Hope was sure that Liam would be okay with it. Madison wasn't so sure.
Bill planned to call a limo for Liam so Liam wouldn't have to worry about drinking. Bill encouraged his son to find some hot girls at the party, but Katie reminded her husband that Liam has a girlfriend. Meanwhile, Amber lurked outside the Spencers' home and overheard Liam mention the limo.... Donna joined Katie and Bill for drinks at their place. Bill complained about Liam and Hope's relationship, but Katie didn't see what the big deal was. Donna praised Bill for making an effort with his son, but Katie mocked the advice that Bill gave him. Bill thought that Liam has potential as a reporter.
People began arriving for Hope's party on the beach. Marcus said hello to Rick and wondered where Hope was. They joked about her wanting to make an entrance. Thomas soon arrived and was accosted by the press. He told them that this was Hope's night and not his. Rick vowed to make sure that nothing ruined Hope's night. Hope and Madison finally arrived. Hope fielded questions from the press and kept an eye out for Liam. She invited everyone to have a good time, then hung out with Rick and Marcus and Marcus's date, April (who just to clarify, was not Amber's twin, April). Hope then said hello to Ollie and thanked him for attending. She asked if he'd seen Liam, but he hadn't. Later, Madison hinted to Oliver that it was going to be Hope and Liam's "big night." Ollie was not pleased to hear this.
Liam's limo arrived and was driven by a Russian female with dark hair — who was really Amber in disguise! He told her where the party was and she planned to take him on a "short cut." She also snatched his cell phone without him noticing. Uh oh. Liam wanted to call Hope, but the driver assured him that it wasn't necessary and promised that they'd be there soon. Liam didn't think that they were even near the ocean. Meanwhile, Hope kept looking for Liam, while Oliver encouraged her to have fun. She called Liam and got his voicemail... In the limo, Amber erased the message.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Up next for the Azzurri is a trip to Scotland to take on a side beaten 38-18 by England in their opener – Italy having won just once at Murrayfield.
And despite getting off to the best possible start, coach Brunel is not about to get ahead of himself.
"The team has made a lot of progress in recent years and against France we gave a good image of our rugby, and showed we can play with character," he said.
"I was in emotional turmoil the whole match. France are a great side and it's never an easy game. The match could have gone either way as we saw.
"The team has really grown and against France they demonstrated their strength. It's the right time to manage Italy.
"We've worked a lot on our team and a lot on our game and I liked a lot of what I saw against France.
"Everyone says Scotland are not a great team at the moment but they are a hard team to play against, especially at Murrayfield, and last year they gave a lot of teams problems."

Student Lunch Menus in Several CT Districts to Offer Locally Grown Produce and Other Food Products
Officials from the School Nutrition Association of Connecticut (SNACT) will participate in CT Grown for CT Kids Week, running from September 30 - October 4, 2013.

"I applaud our State and local food service directors for continuing to provide ways in which we can include local produce in our student's menus," said Trish Molloy, President of SNACT. "This showcases our Association's commitment towards providing meaningful ways to provide the very best for our students."

- Build More Lean Muscle Than Regular Whey Protein
Research conducted and published in a scientific journal shows that subjects using the core formula in NITRO-TECHŽ gained 8.8 lbs. of lean muscle in six weeks compared to subjects who used regular whey protein, who gained 5.1 lbs. - Rapid Post-Workout Amino Acid Delivery
In addition to its key musclebuilding ingredients, NITRO-TECHŽ is the first protein to contain all three key free-form amino acids (alanine, glycine and taurine) and is designed to deliver essential amino acids and proteinogenic (protein building) amino acids that are quickly digested and absorbed by your bloodstream – aiding in muscle cell repair and growth and helping to make NITRO-TECHŽ the perfect choice for rapid post-workout amino acid delivery.
Alanine is the second-most widely used amino acid in protein synthesis, after leucine, and is the primary amino acid for the production of usable glucose during intense training. Experts believe that supplementing with alanine post-workout can help combat muscle breakdown and promote protein synthesis. Glycine is an amino acid which has been noted to play a role in the formation of many other biological compounds in the body, such as proteins and creatine, and even supports cell volumization.Taurine is the second-most abundant amino acid found in muscle and aids in cell volumization. - Build More Strength Than Regular Whey ProteinEach scoop of NITRO-TECHŽ contains a research-proven dose (3 grams) of creatine monohydrate. Combined in NITRO-TECHŽ, whey protein and creatine build more strength than regular whey protein. In one study, subjects using the whey/creatine combination in NITRO-TECHŽ increased their one-rep max bench press by 34 pounds, compared to only 14 pounds for subjects using regular whey protein.
- Ultra-Clean Protein Formula A single scoop of NITRO-TECHŽ contains 30 grams of protein, primarily from whey protein isolate, ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate and hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, with only 1 gram of carbs and 1.5 grams of fat! Most protein powders deliver significantly less protein per scoop while some protein formulas are loaded with fat and carbs. The whey protein in NITRO-TECHŽ has been filtered using Multi-Phase Filtration Technology for less fat, lactose and impurities than cheaper protein sources.
- Best-In-Class Taste Every flavor of NITRO-TECHŽ won in head-to-head third-party taste tests against leading competitors.
- Get More for Your MoneyUnlike the competition, Performance Series products contain superior key ingredients in clinically dosed amounts that are fully disclosed so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Whey Protein
Whey Protein- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount Why Athletic Performance20 grams daily up to 1.2 grams of per 2.2 of pounds body weight per day [2 stars] Animal studies suggest that whey protein can increase gains in lean body mass resulting from exercise. One study found that people taking whey protein improved their performance on a test of short-term intense cycling exercise.Hepatitis3 to 4.5 grams twice per day [1 star] In one trial, supplementing with whey protein improved blood measures of liver dysfunction in people with hepatitis B.HIV and AIDS SupportRefer to label instructions [1 star] Whey protein is rich in the amino acid cysteine, which the body uses to make glutathione, an important antioxidant. Supplementing with it may improve immune function.Immune FunctionRefer to label instructions [1 star] Whey protein appears to improve some aspects of immune function. One trial showed that whey protein increased blood glutathione levels in a group of HIV-infected people.ObesityRefer to label instructions [1 star] Whey protein may aid weight loss due to its appetite-suppressing effect.OsteoporosisRefer to label instructions [1 star] Some whey proteins may reduce bone loss. Milk basic protein (MBP) is a mixture of some of the proteins found in whey protein and has been shown to promote bone densityWhey protein is a mixture of some of the proteins naturally found in milk. The major proteins found in whey protein include beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin. Whey protein has one of the highest protein digestibility-corrected amino acid scores (PDCAAS; a measure of protein bioavailability) and is more rapidly digested than other proteins, such as casein (another milk protein). 1

text: I can't stand "pop' music in this generation, its phony, lyrics are all the same, and are sung by people who are not artists and have no appreciation for what music really is. Kate Bush is a musician, and an incredible one. There is no musician out there who has had a greater impact on me than Kate Bush. Her songs are a handcrafted piece of art that I deeply appreciate. The lyrics of her songs, each one, tells a different story like the song "Wuthering Heights" that was based on a famous book, and Kate wrote that song when she was only 15. That song is more than amazing and she wrote that at 15, that is talent. 15 year old singers now sing about girls, girls, and more girls (talking more of the males). Could you imagine someone writing a song like that now at 15? Yeah, it wouldn't make headlines and It wouldn't be recognized. That's something I hate about our society, real music has lost its meaning. Every single song she writes has meaning, it has depth, and is well thought. She is pop music in the 80's, try releasing her music now in 2012… what do you think? Would It make it? No, course not. This generation doesn't wanna hear music about life, and different stories. They wanna her songs about boys, girls, parties, drugs, sex, and whatever else. Kate Bush has talent, and now if the world could see music for the way its meant to be..

The pot rack attaches to the wall by two arms. The pins that attach the arm to the rack were completely broken off. It appeared this item may have already been returned. I sent it back, was quickly refunded. Purchased a different style rack.
iF YOU NEED EXTRA STORAGE FOR PANS LIKE I DID AND HAVE SOME WALL SPACE BUY THIS!!!!! It is very heavy so I did need help installing it.. but all you have to do is take it out of the box and put it up its great! If your going into just plaster and cannot locate the studs or they are in the wrong place... y ou will need to pilot drill and install anchors but other than that super simple!!!!
The hooks do NOT fit under the shelf. They only fit along the front edge despite what the picture shows. So you cannot hang 2 rows of pots, only one right at the front of the unit. They can't be hung closer to the wall. In addition, the first one that arrived was broken where the brackets are poorly sodered to the unit. The mounting hardware consists of only 8 screws - no anchors. Something this heavy that is hanging heavy pots should have anchors and the screws and screw holes should be bigger. The screws are made of very soft metal and strip easily. You are better off buying something of better quality.
A great deal for the price. Not as high quality as some other models, but it gets the job done at a lower cost than most others on the site. Looks great. Need two people to install it, it's too heavy for one person to hold it up while drilling.
We are delighted, as always, with the products Overtock.com makes available! The pot rack was perfect for what we needed and as described when we opened the box. The pot rack was already assembled with the exception of hanging the hooks on it. Be sure to install it securely as you will want to hang all your pots on it.
Good, quality construction, rustic welding job in keeping with the antiqued style of the rack, but the antique bronze color looks like a 3-year-old randomly brushed brown paint over black metal. Returning it and hoping the pewter is better.
I wouldn't put too much weight on this thing. Looks like the support brackets were welded by amateurs and it was painted by a blind 3 year old! YES PAINTED! It will work for a temporary fix so you can get an idea of what you will eventually do with the spot. My advice, save your money and buy the real thing to begin with.
Overall, I love this pot rack. It looks great in our house. Unfortunately, you can only hang the hooks from the front bar, so we decided it is not functional enough to use in our kitchen. My husband hung it in our dining room where we use it as a shelf, and we get lots of compliments on it.
I love this pot rack! It's sturdy, attractive, and high end. I've gotten many compliments on it and it has really helped organize our tiny kitchen.
Sturdy, well made, very functional and looks well hung up. I bought 2, one for myself and one as a wedding gift for my daughter. We are both 150% pleased. I dry-brushed the edges of the rack with bright gold paint hobby paint bought for $1.50 and the effect was absolutely stunning. Very good quality for the price. HIGHLY recommend purchase of this fine product.

Christine--it all makes sense now!
By Jessie
from Hamilton
Thanks for clarifying that Christine--LOL-I thought I'd lost my mind when I tried on those sandals. You're right--I had no idea that they were part of a bigger system, so in fairness, I upgraded my rating. Wish I'd taken the time to look into it more carefully! Glad they worked for you!

Great pain relief sandals!
By Christine
from Lac Saint-Jean, QC
I think the previous reviewer (Jessie) did not realize that these sandals are not to be worn as walking sandals but that they are a complement accessory to the AuraWave pain relief unit system. These sandals are to be hooked to the Aurawave pain relief system in order to sooth pain in your feet, shins, calves and lower back through a controlled electric current transmitted by the unit.Again,these are not walking sandals but therapeutic sandals!!!I have been using the Aurawave pain relief unit along with these sandals for over a year now in order to help me relieve pain from plantar fasciitis and sciatica and it has been a Godsend!I highly recommend the unit along with the sandals!
like walking on a porcupine
This is the first review I've ever bothered to write. I bought these just before I moved, so I left them in the box, boxed them up, and we moved. It wasn't until about two months later that I unpacked them and tried them on. I started to laugh--it felt like I was walking on a bed of needles! It was SO uncomfortable, bordering on painful, and I don't have particularly sensitive feet. I tried them with thick socks on, but they were still so awful. As a joke, I offered them as "gifts" to close family members, and watched with hilarity as they stood up on them, looking disbelievingly down at what they were standing on. Unless pain is your thing, I'd advise against these porcupine slippers.

Wonderful to footsies!
I finally received these sandals after being on back order since March and it was worth the wait! I am so glad TSC received them because after using the AuraWave unit every day for the last 2 months on my right leg and hip, I get the best pain relief with these sandals! The whole AuraWave systems is great all over your body but it is even greater with the sandals! Your footsies really feel good and you can feel the relief right up to your knees! I might just order a second pair so to make sure I have a spare one just in case!

ALBANY, GA -- Merry Acres Middle School held a parental involvement workshop Friday morning. The theme of the workshop was "Mother's on the Move: To Make an Impact on their Child's Academic Achievement". "The purpose of the workshop was to help teach mothers how to help their children with good study habits, and life skills to help become better readers. These skills will help children succeed through school, college, and the real world. Leslie Charles, the guest speaker at today's workshop, stressed how important it is for children to know they have the support of their parents. Charles said the world is not an easy place to live in, even when you're a child, and kids need to know their home is their safe haven.

Farmingdale's varsity squad will play Bethpage to raise scholarship funds. Ambro Asks LI Court Dist Congressman Jerome A. Ambro ( 3rd- N. Y.) has drafted and introduced a bill establishing a separate federal judicial district for the counties of Nassau and Suffolk. The legislation would separate the counties from the present Eastern Federal District and create a " Northeastern District" TO CONFIRM 4M: The Moat Rev. James J. Daly, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Rock-ville Centre, will administer the sacrament of confirmation to approximately 400 youngsters in St. Kilian's Church, Farmingdale, on Tuesday, May 17. Rev. Donald R. Shane is pastor of St. Kilian's parish. for the bi- county region. A new U. S. courthouse and federal complex would have to be built on Long Island, if the Ambro recommendation is successful. The Eastern District, the third most populous in the nation with more than 7.5- million people, is now headquartered in Brooklyn. It includes Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, in addition to Nassau and Suffolk. According to Ambro, setting up a new district represents a more realistic effort than merely calling for construction of another U. S. federal court building to serve as an annex to the existing facilities in Brooklyn. Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter Rodino said Ambro's bill will be referred to the Federal Judicial Conference for review and recommendation. The conference is made up of high level federal judges from across the country and is chaired by the Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, Warren Burger. If the idea for a new judicial district is approved by the conference, the House Judiciary Committee will then rule on the legislation. Once passed by Congress and enacted into law, planning for construction of the complex would begin. Ambro, a member of the Subcommittee on Buildings and Grounds o? the Public Works Committee, has received assurances from the panel's chairman, Congressman Norman Mineta of California, that the prospectus for construction would be considered soon after creation of the district. One problem that arose in drafting the legislation was a requirement that a specific site be chosen and location of the buildings spelled out in the bill. Since competition for the site selection among several Long Island municipalities would be great, making its location controversial, the language in the bill states that the " Court for the Northeastern District shall be held at a suitable site within such district not more than five miles from the boundary of Nassau and Suffolk Counties." When a specific site must be chosen, the language will be amended to incorporate a location agreed upon by interested officials at the federal and local levels, the respective county bar associations and private citizens. The proposed district will soon contain 3- million people, Ambro [ Continued on page 12] Farmingdale's Hardscrabble Fair is, only one week away from this Saturday.

Jay-Z offering scholarships to needy students | Schools
Title (Max 100 Characters)
(WMC-TV) - You might wonder how at-risk youngsters in Memphis in the Mid-South might benefit via a connection to rap music royalty. Keep reading because Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z, wants to offer a bit of his wealth to young people who generally have zero chance when it comes to college scholarships.
Jay-Z's foundation offers help to select young people who want to improve their education and make their own contributions to the community.
The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation offers scholarships to single mothers, children who attend alternative schools, students who have earned a GED as well as young people who have been incarcerated.
The one thing these young people age 18 to 25 must desire is a higher educational opportunity.
Jay-Z wants to see applications from U.S. citizens 18-25 years of age who are at least a senior in high school, attending college or some type of vocational-technical trade school.
All students must have a GPA of at least 2.5 and must submit their online application to the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation no later than May 15, 2012.
Click here to apply.
If you're an under-served student in the US, you have a shot of winning a Jay-Z scholarship and yes, there's a catch!
Jay-Z says a major consideration in his awarding these gifts is how students answer this question, "what are your plans to give back to the community?"
The scholarship foundation is one of the ways the rapper gives back.
The man is on a serious roll. Carter and his wife, Beyonce, recently welcomed their first child, a little girl named Blue Ivy. PEOPLE Magazine recently named Beyonce "the most beautiful woman in the world." FORBES ranks Jay-Z as one of the richest rappers in the world. FORBES estimates his net worth at $460 million with a 2011 income of $37 million.
The rap star has parlayed his musical talent into a business empire that includes an interest in the NBA. Carter owns a minority stake in the New Jersey Nets as well as investments in fashion, restaurants and of course, music.

A principal architect and visionary of the new biology, a Nobel Prize-winner at 34 and best-selling author at 40 (The Double Helix), James D. Watson had the authority, flair, and courage to take an early and prominent role as commentator on the march of DNA science and its implications for society. In essays for publications large and small, and in lectures around the world, he delivered what were, in effect, dispatches from the front lines of the revolution. Outspoken and sparkling with ideas and opinions, a selection of them is collected for the first time in this volume. Their resonance with todays headlines is striking.
To read the chapter on Rules for Graduates, click here.
"A Passion for DNA is a thoroughly engaging book, full of fascinating reminiscences and far-reaching projections." Nature Genetics
"In A Passion for DNA: Genes, Genomes, and Society. James Watson once again proves that he is the prose laureate of biomedical sciences." The New England Journal of Medicine
" at the age of 70 the enfant terrible has lost none of his evangelical enthusiasm for science and is still captivated by the richness and promise of what flowed from the discovery he made with Crick all those years ago. A Passion for DNA is a reminder, if any were needed, that we should be equally indebted to Watson for his efforts in what must often have seemed the much more difficult task of overcoming the innumerable controversies and doubts that could have seriously interfered with molecular biology's long-term potential for the benefit of humanity. We owe him a great deal." Science
"A Passion for DNA is one of the finest books on science that I have ever read. I would highly recommend it to every physician as a scientific primer, history lesson, review of microbiology, study of mentoring, and most fascinating memoir, absorbable in multiple brief essays, fulfilling Dr. Watson's desire to write like a novelist." JAMA
"This book is vintage Watsonwell-crafted prose, frequently opinionated, passionate, always strong-voiced, and showing occasional impatience with those who are not as smart as he (almost everyone) or who take a position that he finds quite simply to be wrong . As passionate an advocate of genomics as he is, [Watson] knows that none of us can foretell the futurewhere this new science will take us, how it will help us, and how it may one day be abused. In agonizing as he does about genetics and its future, he reminds us implicitly that we scientists, having created a technology, are obliged to explain it to the outside world and to immerse ourselves in the societal debates about how it will be used and how we can prevent its misuse." ROBERT A. WEINBERG, Nature Cell Biology
"In this work, told with refreshing honesty, is the human story of how Watson and Francis Crick won a Nobel Prize for what may be the most important advance in the life sciences since Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, and the key to understanding the charge of 'eugenics' that has greeted Watson in Germany. . .
Watson asked that his German colleagues not over react, yet 'come to terms' with the legacy of the past, develop ethical safeguards, and move on to applying technologies that can save lives and change the quality of life itself. He is clearly impatient with the pace of the debate and rejects popular positions on ethical issues of genetic research and application current not only in Germany, but in his own country as well. A Nazi would end the debate. He promotes the debate.
"Watson's autobiographical notes, scientific expositions, and public statements provide a fascinating glimpse into the mind of this postwar scientific giant. Watson is at his best when reflecting on the social mores of science in the late twentiethcentury, and the selections on the recombinant DNA controversy, scientific competition, and the writing of The Double Helix are small gems. This is an enjoyable book that will help us to understand the range of Watson's enormous role in postwar American biology." Journal of the History of Biology

By Zak Stambor, Special to Tribune Newspapers
February 17, 2013

Most bourbon distilleries have one mash bill, or grain recipe, and one house yeast. Even so, there are still a surfeit of variations within distilleries' output because of the variations that naturally occur from the bourbon-aging process. Elements like how long the barrel aged, where it was stored and how much liquid in the barrel was lost to evaporation enable distilleries to combine different barrels in different ways to produce a number of different bourbons.
But Four Roses is not like most distilleries. It uses two different mash bills (one containing 75 percent corn, 20 percent rye and 5 percent malted barley, the other 60 percent corn, 35 percent rye, 5 percent malted barley) and five different house yeasts that can lend a bourbon elements like hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, floral essences that can create an aroma reminiscent of roses or herbal notes like mint.
The idea behind the 10 different recipes was hatched by the distillery's former owner, Seagram Co., decades ago based on the notion that no two barrels are exactly the same.
"They thought that if they had 10 unique flavors or recipes they could sample the bottles before a bottling run and tweak the percentages to consistently put the same flavor in the bottle," according to Jim Rutledge, Four Roses' master distiller.
The theory was good, he said, but impossible to put into practice. "The art of making bourbon is getting each bottle to be as close as possible even with those variables," he said. "But even so, the people who look at our bourbons every day can spot the differences."
The distillery's 10 different recipes enable Rutledge to combine different bourbons from different barrels at different percentages to produce a nearly boundless array of bourbons. The distillery highlights that approach in its annual Limited Edition Small Batch bourbon, in which it combines the best of its 340,000 barrels for a one-off release.
The distillery's Limited Edition Small Batch last year combined four bourbons — one 17-year-old, two 12-year-olds and one 11-year-old — all of which use the 60 percent corn mash bill, two of which use a yeast that produces delicate, fruity notes and two that add spicy notes. The resulting whiskey, named American whiskey of the year by Whiskey Advocate earlier this year, is smooth and complex with notes of orange, raspberry, maple syrup, caramel and tobacco.
None of the recipes used to create that Limited Edition is used for its more commonplace Small Batch bottles, which helps explain the marked difference between the two bottles (as well as the distillery's other offerings). Small Batch is creamy and mellow, with sweet notes that bring to mind toffee, coconuts and vanilla with a hint of spice.
The differences between barrels and its products help Four Roses stand out, Rutledge said. "We do things differently."

You interview them. They don't interview you.

What's your most offensive t shirt? Wear it
Send Thank You cards/emails to the people who interviewed you.
The shit they sell online to beat a piss test doesn't work. Have some one whose has clean piss and use that. Keep it under your balls, so its body temperature. Use a little plastic bottle. Dont refrigerate, the fresher the better, attach at least an hour before you go in, don't throw out the container in the bathroom.
-You can use the piss of the opposite sex. It's against the law to test for sex.
-Unless it's prison or being a solider they cant watch you.
-They will test for tampering (golden seal and the others will show up, putting bleach on your fingers will show up, etc.)
The water will be off in the bathroom and the toilet will have blue stuff in it so you cant use that.
Another way to pass is overdosing on water.You'll be pissing every 5 seconds for 24 hrs, you'll get diaharrea and you may get water intoxication, but it does work. The water is going thru you so fast that it doesnt pick anything up.
Good luck-Hope you get the job and celebrate with a fatty!
