The Mississippi River. The "green light". Route 66.
So knowing this then, it's important to infuse your prose with that one, Velcro-like image that sticks with the reader long after they have moved beyond your essay and application.
Let's return to the short "activities" essay drafted by a rising senior from the last blog post.
Note the usage of imagery peppered all the way through the narrative..
If the reader forgets 99% of this essay, they will not forget cow lung.
That 1% of the essay they will retain in their mind has the power to make a positive impression upon the reader.
It's true then if you really think about it.
So much depends

A red wheel barrow.A Sept. 17 – 20 poll by the University of North Florida shows Florida being Florida, with neck and neck races for governor and U.S. Senate. The live caller survey (MoE =/- 3.95 percent) shows Democrat Bill Nelson and Republican Rick Scott each with 45 percent support, while Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum narrowly leads Republican Ron DeSantis, 47 percent to 43 percent.
In the Senate race, 13 percent of Democrats said they were unsure who they supported while just 4 percent of Republicans said so.
"It's still early in the election season and even though Gillum has a small lead, a lot can happen in the next six weeks. Nelson and Scott are currently tied, but one bit of hope for Nelson is that more Democrats are unsure who they will vote for and partisans will come home in November," said Dr. Michael Binder, faculty director of the Public Opinion Research Lab at UNF.
"With polling numbers this close, the candidates that are most successful getting their voters to the polls are the ones who are going to win. Historically, Florida has had very close statewide elections, and this year is shaping up to be no different."
From a UNF release:
Additionally, the poll reveals that respondents show high support for restoring felon voting rights. When asked whether they would vote "yes" or "no" on a proposition to restore the voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions, 71 percent of likely voters claimed they would vote "yes" on the proposition, with 21 percent voting "no." Only 8 percent didn't know how they would vote. Regarding race, 82 percent of African-American respondents indicated they would vote "yes" on the amendment, while 69 percent of white respondents and 65 percent of Hispanic respondents claimed they would vote "yes" on the proposition.
"These results reflect the status of African-Americans as the population most directly affected by Florida's felon disenfranchisement laws," said Dr. Natasha Christie, chair of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at UNF. "With such a large majority of likely voters saying they would vote "yes" on Amendment 4, this indicates views on this issue are becoming more progressive overall throughout the state, regardless of race."
When asked about the most important problem in Florida, education—20 percent—led the way, followed closely by health care and environment with 18 percent.When figuring out which beauty products to buy, it can be a bit difficult to know where to invest your money. It may be convenient and tempting to pick up your shampoo and other products at your local grocery store, but there may be some pressure to buy salon-quality products. These products are often more expensive and you may have to go out of your way to get them, but are they really worth the extra money? The answer, in a word, is yes. Here are some of the benefits of using salon-quality products.
You get what you pay for, and that saying holds very true when it comes to beauty products. If you know what you’re looking for, you can compare a cheaper bottle of shampoo next to a salon-quality bottle of shampoo and check the ingredients. You will notice that the ingredients are similar, but they do vary. The conditioners and other ingredients that actually matter are always of a much higher quality in the salon products whereas the store bought products will have additional ingredients that don’t actually have much benefit. Shampoo is just an example; this will generally hold true for all hair and beauty products.
While it may be true that you pay more for the salon-quality products, you will absolutely get more for the money that you spend. Just because you can get more product doesn’t mean that the product will do a better job or even provide you much benefit. Essentially store bought products will get the job done, but not do the best job possible. If you buy a cheap hairspray, for instance, you may need to use a lot more product volume to get it to work. Even if you do get it to work, it may not have the desired result. On the other hand, if you use a salon hairspray it will be much more likely you will be satisfied and you will have to use less product.
If you buy a beauty product of any kind you will be doing so because you have a desired result in mind. The problem is, it may be hard to find out exactly which store bought product will give you that result. You could end up buying product after product with a lot of trial and error and you still may not be totally happy with it. On the other hand, if you go to a salon and actually talk to someone who knows about the products, they will be able to help you find exactly the right product to suit your needs. Though it may cost a little bit more up front, you will save yourself a lot of time and potentially money in the long run. It will make the process much easier.
While many people have questions about salon products versus store-bought products, it is hard to argue against the proven benefits that come along with buying a quality salon-product. No matter what you buy, just make sure that you buy the right product for you.
Thanks for this bit of insight. I personally have always thought that there wasn’t much difference between shampoos. Now you’ve got me wondering what ingredients I should be paying attention to most?
I’m generally not on the ‘expensive’ is better bandwagon, but I agree that there are many salon products that are just worth paying the higher cost for because they truly are a better quality and work better. Not all of them of course, but I have my favorites that I’m willing to spend more for.
I don’t always buy salon quality products, but don’t mind paying out the money on a product that really does work.
I know I can tell a big difference in shampoos when I buy them from a salon.
For certain things, I do buy the salon versions and it does make a difference. I hate paying the prices though!
I love a good bargain, but the adage is true. You get what you pay for. It’s very rare that the bargain product is as good as the salon quality. However, there are only a few things that I’m willing to pay salon prices for. I think it’s okay to splurge on some things!
There is definitely a big difference with some items. I won’t buy my shampoo from anywhere but a salon because of the quality.
So true that many times the extra cost is worth it. Some things are find as store-brand but others really merit the quality of salon items.
When it comes to personal care items, I usually do get salon quality for my hair care. For my face, I use Mary Kay.
I always try to use a variety of salon quality and over the counter to keep with in my budget.
I often feel you get what you pay for, especially with beauty products. I am thankful I maintained my Cosmetology license so I can get some salon products at a discount.

}The Best Teams to Never Win a Championship: What If...Don Nelson’s Bucks Broke Through?
Share All sharing options for: The Best Teams to Never Win a Championship: What If...Don Nelson’s Bucks Broke Through?
Welcome back to “What If...” a series that will see me cover and go through notable Milwaukee Bucks moments and wonder, what if the opposite happened? Most of these will reverse painful moments in Milwaukee Bucks history, but sometimes the “what if” takes away the good and leaves us with a darker timeline. But first, a quick note to explain my logic: the future is entirely fictional and is rarely based on statistics, facts or reason.
This article will also be a collaboration with SB Nation “Best Teams to Never Win a Championship” tournament just to pile on the misery, as the 1985-86 Bucks were an entry in the “Not Good Enough” region.
The suspension of the NBA due to the COVID-19 pandemic has many Bucks fans feeling like they were robbed of a special season, Milwaukee was on pace to improve on their breakthrough 60-win season the year prior. The reason there was so much disappointment is that for many Bucks fans, this was the best stretch of basketball the franchise has shown in their lifetime. For others though, that claim goes to the Don Nelson-led Bucks in the 80’s. The team consistently won their division and finished in the top two of the Eastern Conference but could never seem to get over the hump and make the finals, let alone win it all. Some of those teams were the best teams to never win the title, so what if any of Don Nelson’s Bucks teams broke through?
