Torie Clarke, renowned and respected in political and business circles as one of the nation's most gifted communicators, offers a complete guide to the new age of transparency. Clarke's message is refreshing and straightforward: No more spin. Always a dubious proposition, spin has become increasingly vulnerable as information sources have proliferated; spin is simply no longer viable. Or put another way, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Distilling her twenty-five years of experience and wisdom into eight concise rules, Clarke counsels that politicians and executives need to tell the truth early, often, and in plain language. Clarke's experience is incomparable: She was the Pentagon's communications chief during the early years of George W. Bush's presidency and, prior to that, a high-ranking adviser to the first President Bush and to Senator John McCain. She illustrates her lessons with riveting behind-the-scenes accounts of some of our country's crucial moments over the last two decades -- for instance, as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs under Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, she was at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, and she recounts her experience that day as Rumsfeld's office strove to inform, instruct, and reassure the public. Clarke shows that a policy of transparency not only protects you, but that you even stand to gain from it -- because once you figure out that you can't put lipstick on a pig, you've actually learned something far more powerful: not to create a pig in the first place. Her lessons for getting your message out include: * Tell your own story -- especially if it's bad news -- on your own terms, before someone else tells it on theirs. It will allow you to survive controversy and will also enhance your reputation. * It's about one thing. Be ready and able to explain yourself to the proverbial man on the street in a clear, simple sentence or two. * Admit your mistakes, because the truth will out. Entertaining, approachable, and full of crucial insight and practical guidance, Lipstick on a Pig will be indispensable for business leaders, public figures, and anyone working in media relations. With humor and savvy, Clarke's vision offers truly new opportunities for communications in the Information Age.

Great product
I'm not a body builder, at 76 years old I was having muscle aches, and this helps. I take it daily at one teaspoon in my morning coffee.

Highest quality ingredients & secure delivery
Excited to see Pure offer a creatine formula as I already use other products from this highly rated brand. The powder is excellent quality and mixes well. I added it to my protein shake and there was no impact to taste. It digests easily & I experienced zero negative side effects. The paper canister is a unique, sustainable package. While this may be better than plastic, I had a concern it might get damaged in transit. I was encouraged to see it delivered in a firm cardboard box that was securely protected. The container seals well & is an innovative upgrade from normal bottles. This is an excellent addition to my routine. Looking forward to seeing the benefits in the coming weeks!

New packaging for PURE product
I am hoping this creatinine is as good as other Pure products. This creatinine came in a cardboard container instead of plastic. I appreciate the effort to remove plastic from the food stream, but the lid tip did not work so well. It was hard to open the top, but once that was done, the “inner lid” was easy to open, you just don’t want to drop this because it’s l8kely to spill open. The lid is not really secure.

Safe, Affordable, Palatable, and Non-GMO Fast-Dissolve Melatonin
I was very happy and satisfied with this 5mg fast dissolve melatonin product. It is safe and effective-I fall asleep within 20-30 minutes after taking it. After trying different dosages and types of melatonin over the years, the 5mg fast dissolve melatonin is what works best for me. I wake up feeling alert, refreshed, energetic and attentive without any grogginess or "hangover" effect. The tablets' taste and texture are very palatable and tolerable, and the tablets dissolve thoroughly and quickly. The bottle is easy to open and close but is not child-safe. I also chose this product because it is GMO-free and made in the USA, both of which are important to for any supplement products that I consume. It is also free of the major allergens and is a vegetarian formula. This product is a great value in terms of price as well (200 tablets for less than $10). This bottle will last me almost 2/3 of the year.
