		<description><![CDATA[To the real film fanatic, this phrase should look familiar. You may recognise it as one of the  key sentences Tom Cruise spoke to Renee Zellweger in  Jerry Maguire. It&#8217;s when he explains why he  wants to stay with his wife: because she completes him as a person.
Oprah Winfrey once dismissed this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=conrad59.wordpress.com&blog=5352983&post=49&subd=conrad59&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a language professional, I often find it difficult to separate my work from my private life. As a dedicated interpreter and translator who is constantly striving to perfect his own use of language, and who is often called upon to correct his colleagues&#8217; translations (we all make mistakes, after all), I have difficulty not [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=conrad59.wordpress.com&blog=5352983&post=46&subd=conrad59&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

He doesn´t even bother to open the bottle, let the contents be sampled, or otherwise invite any expression of approval or disapproval. He doesn´t have to, for he knows he has made an excellent choice.
