In a Counterpunch article in August 2005, Cockburn referred to Hitchens as: "A guy who called Sid Blumenthal one of his best friends and then tried to have him thrown into prison for perjury; a guy who waited til his friend Edward Said was on his death bed before attacking him in the Atlantic Monthly; a guy who knows perfectly well the role Israel plays in US policy but who does not scruple to flail Cindy Sheehan as a LaRouchie and anti-Semite because, maybe, she dared mention the word Israel."

In an April 2009 interview with C-SPAN's Brian Lamb, Hitchens intimated that his friendship with Cockburn was still intact despite their disagreements.

70 Years Old
In the case of Hitchens' criticisms of Said on his death bed, Hitchens replied, "It's actually rather silly of Alexander to say that he's often written counter-obituaries of people who have been overpraised and has chosen precisely the moment when there's a lot of sentimental garbage being published to say, 'come on, this guy wasn't so great!' " Following Hitchens' death in 2011, Cockburn wrote a critical obituary of him for Counterpunch.

In May 2012 Cockburn said of Marine Le Pen, leader of the French National Front, that she is a "nationalist politician, quite reasonably exploiting the intense social discontent in France amid the imposition of the bankers' austerity programs".

Tyra Banks Lashes Out at Modeling Industry: Size 4 Shouldn't Be Considered 'Too Heavy'
Tyra Banks is taking a stand against the pressures of the modeling industry.
In a column for The Daily Beast titled, "Tyra Banks's Open Letter to Models: 'Vogue' to Ban Images of Anorexia", the supermodel admits that if she had got into the business today, she may not have made it.
"The truth is that if I was just starting to model at age 17 in 2012, I could not have had the career that I did. I would've been considered too heavy," Banks says. "In my time, the average model's size was a four or six. Today you are expected to be a size zero. When I started out, I didn't know such a size even existed."However, the America's Next Top Model host confesses that she too struggled with her body image while coming up in the industry.
"In my early 20s, I was a size four. But then I started to get curvy," Tyra, 38, recalls in her open letter. "My agency gave my mom a list of designers that didn't want to book me in their fashion shows anymore. In order to continue working, I would've had to fight Mother Nature and get used to depriving myself of nutrition."
Lucky for Tyra, her mom had a better idea. "As my mom wiped the tears from my face, she said, 'Tyra, you know what we're going to do about this? We're going to eat pizza.' We sat in a tiny pizzeria in Milan and strategized about how to turn my curves into a curveball."
The 5'10" supermodel continues, "In a way, it was my decision not to starve myself that turned me into a supermodel, and later on, a businesswoman."
Tyra's column comes after the editors of Vogue announced they will ban models from their pages who "appear to have an eating disorder." The supermodel wrote excitedly: "This calls for a toast over some barbecue and burgers!"
What do you think? Has the modeling world gone overboard? Let us know, below.

I receive my money in min 30 days after I deposit the check.. so where are my money in min 2 weeks after the check has been cleared by Google?
It's making money for your bank.
I often get US payment by cheque and although funds are cleared from the US account about 3-5 days after I deposit them, it is a fixed 20 working days before they are cleared into my account. My bank have the money for 3 weeks or more, interest free. So depending on where you are, the fact that Google says the check has cleared may not mean you will have funds in the very near future.
It's a rip-off and it drives me mad but all the banks have the same policy on clearance time.
Which is why I love EFT.
And "bank" in American English means the same as "banque" in French. :-)

"Runts" are the largest pigeon , "white kings" have the largest widest breasts , "Swiss Mondanes" are bred for there tasty squabs, and the "Lebanese wood pigeon" is the longest at 54 cm. You may want to cross breed these to get a good size bird that is good to eat .The word record is around 5 pounds . I boiled the eggs but the whites stayed translucent even after the yolks were hard boiled and broke . I did not eat them .They will probably cost more than chickens to raise . |

I COPIED THIS OFF THE NET . Swiss Mondaine, The Best Squabber and Show Breed: The following is a write-up that was written by Frank Ritchie 2002 After raising a minimum average of 10 pair each of the French Mondain, Texan Pioneer, Show & Production type Carneau, Show & Production type King, Giant Runt, Giant Homer, Hungarian Giant House Pigeon along with many other breeds, The Swiss Mondaine in my view has proved themselves superior to them all, with their beauty and prolific squabbing ability. I have had the Autosex Texan Pioneer. Breeders tell me the Texan are a superior in squabbing, but in my experience of raising both the Swiss and Texan, the Swiss Mondaines have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to me that the Swiss are not only the superior squabber, but the Texan doesn't stand up anywhere in comparison in beauty along side the beautiful, prolific, and graceful Swiss Mondaine. The only superior quality in my view that can be used in the favor of the Texan Pioneer is the autosex trait. Otherwise the Swiss is unmatched in large squabs and prolific breeding. The production type Kings (white & silver) are equally prolific breeders, as well as the production type Carneaux and Hubbles. But the Swiss Mondaine have larger squabs and a greater beauty when adulthood is achieved. The Giant Runt, Hungarian House, the Show King and the French Mondain are not a prolific breed. The Show Carneau are more prolific than the last four breeds but yet still not as prolific as the Swiss Mondaine. The Giant Homers can be prolific, but to their prolific demise a lot of them have been crossed with the French Mondain therefore hurting their squabbing capability. But there are still some descent prolific Giant homers. All in all in my opinion the Swiss Mondaine have all the breeds above beat due to their unmatched beauty along with their large squabs and prolific breeding. This is why I personally have gotten out of the other breeds completely and raise the Swiss Mondaines and the Swiss Mondaines only. |

Swiss Mondaines are the breed to get into if you want disappointment in a squabbing pigeon. They use to be good before the show people got a hold of them some 50 years ago. The only real squabbing birds available today are white squabbing kings, silver squabbing kings, red squabbing kings, Hubble (Hubbel?) kings, and squabbing white carneau. You can also add squabbing Texan Pioneers to this group. However, this breed too is heading to mediocrity because it too is bred by more show people than squabbing people. Don't waste your time with Swiss Mondaines. No squab farm that I know of breeds Swiss Mondaines and that should tell you all you need to know about this breed. |

Using less salt on your sidewalk and driveway this winter shows your love for the lakes.
If you must use a deicer, use it sparingly and make sure you read the label for application rates and environmental effects.
Don't use salt when you can use a shovel.
Click the Love Your Lakes Don't Salt Them promotional image for more de-icing tips.
Storm water is more than just water. Rain and snowmelt wash dirt, grease, trash and more from roads, parking lots and other hard surfaces into storm drains and ditches, that empty directly into your lakes, streams and rivers.
Storm water carries excess nutrients like phosphorus with it, which can turn your lakes green and smelly.
The way to protect and clean your lakes and streams is to make sure only rain—and nothing else—goes into the storm drains and ditches.
You're just clicks away from a world of ways you can easily work for cleaner lakes and streams in Dane County. It all starts with making sure that only the rain goes down our storm drains and ditches.

Can Someone Explain the New Walgreens Program?
I have been an avid CVS and Walgreens customer. Walgreens was always a bit more complicated because of all the coupon/RR rules. Once I finally figured it out it was easy. Now Walgreens has cards, points, and Register Rewards. It sounds way too complicated. In fact I haven't been since they started it 3 weeks ago. Can someone explain it to me please?
I do know that Duane Reade in NYC had a rewards card, and Walgreens bought them. I think I've figured out that the DR reward card has been replacd by this Balance Rewards thing and it's being used at both Duane Reades and Walgreens. I think you need the BR card to get the sales prices, but there are also points you can get by buying certain amounts of things. I was confused because the first time I used it, I got the sales prices, but 0 points. :confused3 I prefer Walgreens to CVS or Rite Aid, so I hope I still like them after I get used to their card program. They are closest to me and tend to have their merchandise in stock. I like their employees too; they are friendly at least at my store. |
you need the card to get the sale price, and certain items come with reward points. those items are listed in the ads, or on the shelves below the items. When you earn 5000 points, you can get $5 off your purchase and the opportunity to use them will be presented when you pay. i am waiting ffor 18000 points which will give me $20 off my purchase. Sometimes if you need something and you don't prefer a certain brand, buying the ones that comes with points is beneficial. sometimes you get no points.
I haven't figured it out yet, either.
I ordered some contacts online at Walgreens.com and it prompted me to sign up for a Balance Rewards account because they were having some special points promo that day. Anyway, I got I believe 5,000 points for that order. When I went to Walgreens the next time to pick up some pictures, I noticed that when I checked out, the touchpad screen gave me the option to use my points to pay $5 towards my purchase total. (I think 5,000 points is worth $5. This is from memory, though.) I didn't have to do anything to prompt this except enter my phone number that was attached to the card. Maggie |
I'm undecided on the rewards card. So far several of the things I've bought had no points and I forgot to use my card last week. Luckily I wasn't buying anything major. I wish the cashiers would remind me.
I signed up online so mine is digital rather than a physical card. I think I like just the register rewards the best and now you pretty much can't get those without using the card. |
I signed up online but can't figure out how to get a card to use in the store. It said something about getting the card in the store but I haven't been to walgreens since to ask about it.
I have no clue! I originally had the Duane Reade Flex Rewards cards which was transferred to the Balance Rewards card in the store the first day of the switch over. I don't think I have earned a point since the switch since I usually just stop in to pick up drinks to have at work and my beverages havent awarded points. I also have two accounts - one with the card and one online so I can't register my physical card since the online account doesn't permit. I don't know - I started going to CVS more frequently now.
Maggie |
You only earn points if it's listed in the ad, not like rite aid where you earn points on everything. You can spend points only at 5,000 or more, it's $5 and so on. If you redeem points to pay for something you don't earn points in that transaction (so make sure you burn it on something that doesn't earn points) and you have to spend the whole $5 a once. If you redeem $5 worth of points on a $3 purchase, you lose $2.
That's about all I know. I don't like it. For now there are still RRs but they are phasing them out. You can use points to pay for RR items and pay with RRs to earn points, you just can't earn points if you pay with points. |
I signed up on-line and when I went in the store she put in my phone number and gave me a card to use.
Balance Reward card
The Balance Reward card must be used to get the sale price that is posted on the shelf and in the add flyer.You still need to use any coupons in the flyer that have a bar code in addition to using you card.
You DO NOT receive bonus points on all items purchased. To receive bonus points you must purchase the items that are advertised in the weekly add flyer. These items will also be marked on the shelf. These items will change weekly. Once you have accumulated 5,000 points you can start redeeming them. 5,000=$5.00 10,00=$10.00 18,00=$15.00 As you can see it is to you advantage $$ wise to wait until you have 18,00 points.It is very easy to redeem points,just follow the prompts on the touchpad. Your account can always be accessed just by using your phone number if you don't have your card or just choose not to use one. If you signed up online it is very easy to "attach" a card to your phone number. If the salesperson does not know how to do it please ask "nicely"to speak to a manager.Please be patient with us because this is new to us also.We had very little training on this and many of us are learning as we go. More than one card can be attached to an account (one phone number). Example: wife/mom what to share one account with husband/child so points will accumulate faster but they each want to have a card instead of using phone number.In my case I chose to just get one card and my DH and DD will just use a phone number.It is also a good idea to decide ahead of time if you have a preference as to who you want to redeem the points if you are sharing an account. In my case I don't care if I am the one accumulating most of the points and my DD redeems them but some people might. ARRP cards can also be "attached" to your Balance Reward card and then you can just use one card. Someone mentioned liking the Register Reward program better but we had many people complaining that the rewards expired and were asking for something like the Balance Reward card.Hopefully as you all get used to it you will like it better. To address cluvsdisney. Sorry I do not know how to show quotes. I would go back to a store and ask to speak to a manager. I had the same thing happen to a customer yesterday. My manager was able to help her out. I can't explain what he did but it worked,we think! Here is another idea. Put in a bogus phone number,set up account and just use the card all the time unless you do a simple number that you can remember.Example 333-333-3333. There is really no reason they need you real number. It just used to reference your account. Hopefully this helps answer some of your questions. |

No you're not. Sarah was a battle hardened Top Sider and now her maternal instincts are kicking in. She went from seeing the egg as just an object (something she can be detached from) to seeing it as a child (a person).
I just noticed that going Anthro means losing digits. The topsiders had five fingers on each hand before they mutated and now they have four.
I think Wally needs to introduce Sarah to his pal Trace (Jan. 30, 2013 strip). They would probably be more compatible. Maybe Jim could hook up with LInda.
"To console those who morn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…"
Isaiah 61:3 NKJVWally your the man!!! What makes human beings truly amazing is our ability to continue to hope when all hope is gone.
I think this series of the strip should be called "In The Beginning."
Aaron, I love the new strip and I have one question and one request.
1. Are you going to add this strip to GoComics?
2. If not; please do! It's an awesome strip!
Notice how Wally's tail puffed up in the third panel. Lucky those norm haters walked a way or there would have been a cat fight.
Wally needs to go where the love is. He needs to go with Holly because he knows up top better than she does. Perhaps they can make it to another community like Endtown.
Does anyone think that maybe what Maude is referring to is the fact that Linda openly used mutant generated products; rather than keeping it low key like everyone else. I think the people of Endtown were using mutant products to supplement their diets; but doing so on the q.t..
Are we sure this isn't a mind trip? When I hear that someone needs a guide; I sometimes think of something of a telepathic journey. Maybe Wally is going to go into Holly's memories the she entered his. Or perhaps the Oracle will help him on his journey?

Seriously? I imagine it was a disappointment if the band only plays one song. I want to hear 'Let It Die' and 'Life Won't Wait' for sure. That's weird. But maybe during his solo tour he will focus more on the album. I would think that this would be a great vehicle to get fans on board for his solo tour tho. By at least playing a couple of them.
I do love the music from his whole career too though. So, until August 14th, I won't know!

Sabrina Christley purchased this house in 2004
This property is in a small town that is spread over 20 miles. There's lots of privacy, but plenty of activity if one wants to join in. The area is heavily wooded, yet it still offers one of the best views of Mt McKinley (Denali) in the state.
The beauty of the area is incomparable. It's like living in a spectacular National Park. The many attractions are too numerous to take in if you are only here for a week.

Rabbits are often overlooked as household pets; but they can make very good companions, especially for someone living in a small space, with limited time to dedicate to maintenance, etc. Bunnies are often looked at as little "bundles" of fluff, and often are purchased for the wrong reasons. For one, it is never a good idea to adopt a rabbit (or any pet, for that matter) for a special occasion. In the case of rabbits, they are often adopted as Easter gifts for a special someone, especially for children. What adopters need to understand is that bunnies are going to grow up from that "little bundle of fluff" into a full-grown bunny in no time (again, just like any pet). There are dwarf breeds of rabbits, but they will still grow to approximately 5-7 pounds once full grown. They need care year-round, and as with any other pet, they depend on your care and attention.
Rabbits are very intelligent, loving, and CLEAN pets (contrary to some beliefs); they require little maintenance, but they do depend on you to provide their key requirements: food, water, exercise, and love.
This author owns 3 dwarf rabbits, and they have brought so much joy (and entertainment) to her life. They spend a lot of their time in their "homes" (cages), in which they have little wooden dens to "escape" into. They constantly "organize" their belongings (i.e., toys, food bowls, treats, etc.) and are very particular and neat. They wash themselves constantly, and smell like nothing else but "bunny fur." Bunnies can even be litter-box trained!
This author never owned a bunny prior to 2006, and once I got my first one, I was fascinated by her behavior and mannerisms. They do a funny "bunny dance" (hopping and 'dancing' around their cages and/or playpen), I let them out for their exercise daily, in their playpen, away from the cats.
All that said, this author asks that you please consider the adoption of a bunny the same as you would do a cat or a dog; it is a lifelong commitment. While their lives may be shorter than that of a cat or a dog, there is much pleasure to be gained from their companionship.

Can anyone recommend how far apart these should be spaced? I'm in Louisiana and everything seems to get big thru the long summmer. I don't want them to grow into a big tangled mess by midsummer. The tag says 12in but I know that's far too close because I grew them many years ago and they seemed to take over and grow thru everything. I just can't remember how I planted them. I don't mind triming now and then- just don't want to have to hack them back all the time. Thanks |

Is this in a sunny location and in sandy soil, like much of southern Louisiana? I think about 24 inches apart will work. Raised beds are good in places like Baton Rouge, to facilitate drainage from heavy rains. Compost and other sources of humus are also strongly advised. |
Actually I live in north la where it is drier and hotter- we hardly get many showers during the summer like they do in nearer the coast. We have to water alot. This is in full sun and the soil tends towards a heavy loam although pretty well-drained- it has been heavily mulched for many years and doesn't look like the soil I started with. I was thinking about 24in too- thanks for confirming it for me. Frank |

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a spray solution that is safe enough to use in my cat enclosure. I have seen the one that Live Monarch sells and I'm not willing to spend that much. I rinse away the frass and work it into the soil but I would like to use something to spray down the frame of my enclosure periodically. I thought about using a vinegar/water solution but am not sure if it is safe to use on the cats. I have an enclosure outdoors that contains cats that are 3rd instar or higher set into my garden. I also have indoor enclosures but these I am able to change and clean everyday. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,

Define safe. Do you want something to use while you have plants or caterpillars in there? Typically a bleach solution is going to be one of the few things that will work and is inexpensive enough. Obviously you can't use that while you have caterpillars or plants in there. If you remove both and use the bleach solution (let it stand for ten minute) then rinse well it should be fine. Bleach also loses its potency over time in sunlight. Just as a note, wood is not the best material to use for cages for this very reason. It is very difficult to clean when concerned with disease. -Elisabeth |
Safe as in safe to use on plants and caterpillars, the same as they sell on Live Monarch. In any event, I removed the enclosure from the garden, moved the cats to a large container temporarily while I scrubbed the frame with a bleach/water solution, rinsed it down and let it dry in the sun. I have also lined the bottom with sand and then newspaper so that I can change this daily. Thanks for the suggestion. |

GU Energy FAQs
How do I best combine GU Electrolyte Brew, GU Energy Gel and Roctane during a long day of exercise?
The answer depends on each person. Some people may be able to run all day eating nothing but Vanilla GU and drinking water. Others might need to rotate between all the flavors of Roctane and GU washed down with different flavors of GU Electrolyte Brew over the course of a full-length triathlon or ultramarathon. You'll need to experiment to find out what works for you. How do you know what works? You want to be able to consistently take in calories and electrolytes on a reGUlar basis throughout a long day of training or racing.
Does GU sponsor teams and athletes?
Yes, to find out more visit out athlete sponsor page.
Will GU sponsor my race?
We'll certainly consider it. Our event sponsorship page details all that information.
Are GU packets recyclable?
The type of packaging necessary to keep GU fresh is not recyclable.
Can I buy GU in bulk?
No. We manufacture 100% of our gels in-house on custom machinery, formatted specifically to accommodate our unique packaging design. In order to maintain this process, and thus maintain the highest quality control standards of any gel on the market (read more about The GU factory), we manufacture in single-serving packets only. If you prefer to train and race with bulk gel, we recommend squeezing several packets into a GU gel flask.
Have you considered a "litter leash" style tear tab for GU packets?
We did consider an early prototype of this style of packaging. However, we found that the volume of packaging necessary to do so was excessive. In fact, we've studied the packaging of every competitive gel on the market and determined that our unique design utilizes 20-40% less material than any of our competitors' packets. That's a whole lot of raw material, when you consider the quantity of individual gel packets we produce each year! It's actually quite simple to keep track of your GU tear tabs: either rip the top only partially open to consume your GU, or else tear the top fully off and roll it up with the rest of the packet, toothpaste-tube-style, as you go. Then drop your empties in the nearest trash bin or stash them in your jersey pocket or under your bike short leg grippers for later disposal. One final note on packaging: the fact that GU's unique design has the smallest possible profile enables comfortable, convenient portability of multiple gels in jersey pockets, jog bras, bento boxes – wherever you store your GU.

More reviews by maryandtheboys
I love this lip butter, it feels nice not too greasy or sticky, it softens my lips and the colour is a lovely blushing pink. It's lasting power is an average 2-3 hours. So much better than dozens of others I've tried. The only thing I don't like is that fact that it comes in a pot, it's not so hygienic and I have to make sure I wash my hands before reapplying.
I am a huge fan of this product! It is super super moisturizing for my very dry lips and goes on as a lovely pink shade with a bit of gloss. It's creamy/buttery feeling but very sheer to apply, I've found. I've also used it as a subtle cream blush.
It is $10 retail for a 6 gram pot, which is a bit pricey but certainly not as bad as some other high-end and import cosmetics products, and quality-wise you get what you pay for.
It is in a pot which is a little inconvenient, but with the buttery texture it honestly works best this way. I apply with my fingers before heading out and it works really nicely, both for lips and cheeks.
And yes, the smell is distinctive and a little fruity - but it's definitely not bad, and for what the product provides I'll take it! :)
Unlike most of the other reviewers, I love the scent and the light tint it leaves on my lips! It's a very pretty rosy shade on me. Love how this isn't slippery and greasy, or waxy. It is very buttery soft and seems to last on my lips for several hours. It's a bit pricey, but honestly, it works so well I think it's worth it. It's not supposed to be a lipstick, so I'm not sure what everyone is looking for in terms of tint here, it's very subtle and pretty without any real shine. Love it.
Great lip butter that smells yummy. The color doesn't really show up on my lips, but the moisture stays for hours. I took off one lippie because of the packaging. The packaging is terrible! The tub is so small. If you have long nails, it is impossible to get some product without getting some under your nails. Not hygienic at all.
I personally think this product deserves a 4.5, but since I can't do half ratings, I'll go with a 5 (because i think its closer to a 5 than a 4).
First, the color I think is really lovely and subtle. A light rose, that is perfect for the summertime, and really brightens my face when i don't feel like wearing much makeup. Of course, this isn't going to be super pigmented or long-lasting, and I'm fine with that, because its not made to be.
This is very moisturizing and feels really comfortable on my lips. Unlike a lot of other more natural tinted lip products I've tried (like burts bees) I think this does actually improve the texture of my lips.
One thing I don't really like about this is the scent. Although it doesn't seem to last, and once I put it on my lips I can't smell it anymore.
Also, I would prefer this in a tube or something where I didn't have to put my finger in.
Overall, I definitely plan on repurchasing and hope to pick up some of the other shades as well! The rose one smells divine!
I like this, but I don't love it.
It feels nice and creamy yet juicy on the lips, but doesn't last long and isn't particularly moisturising.
I'm not all that keen on the scent - it's quite an odd fruity scent - whether it resembles the smell of a quince I'm not sure.
The colour is quite pretty and lifts the face nicely.
As it is in a pot I don't carry this one around with me as it's unhygienic for on-the-go use - it would work well in a tube. The packaging is pretty to look at though - simple and classy.
HG, as I said on the Pomegranate version of this. The color you choose just depends on your complexion. Don't understand the lack of love for this awesome, moist, and lip-hugging tub o' heaven.
Only lip balm my boyfriend *likes* to kiss.
I love the Korres lip butters but this is my least favorite shade. For some reason it also goes on differently than the others.
More reviews by ImYourFavoriteDrug
I really love this color on my fair skin. A pretty, medium pink. You can layer it on lightly or heavily and it'll still look great. Hate the packaging, but its not enough to deduct a lippy. Great price and pretty moisturizing, but it won't heal dry lips.

I saw the bad reviews about this lip butter. I have used it and thought it was great. OK some facts about this product.
Very very moisturising. I have extremely dry lips. Extreme is the word. If it wasn't because I slap on lip balm 5-6 times a day, I would be suffering from chapped lips all day long.
Texture: More towards the creamy type. I wouldn't consider this as light weight (not like kiehl's lipbalm. Those are light). Def not waxy and sticky to me.
Colour pay off is very nice. Looks like a lipgloss u can wear to work. Very glossy looking as well.
Price? 10 bucks at drugstore.com . Gals, this is an imported product so it's gonna be more pricey.
Packaging: Not the best. Comes in a jar which most hate. I use lip brushes.
The worse of this product is the plastic smell which I dun like but it goes off within 30 sec. I like this product.

Customers Report Gaining Market Opportunities by Investing in Heidelberg Equipment
November 2, 2010L. Brown and Sons Comes Out (Way) Ahead with Automation by Heidelberg
L. Brown and Sons Printing in Barre, VT, recently took delivery of a fully automated, continuous-feed Stahlfolder TH 82 with Level 3 automation, as well as a 6-color Speedmaster CD 74 perfector. According to company president Larry Brown, installation was complicated by an extensive public works reconstruction project directly in front of the L. Brown facility, including excavation of the pavement, and electrical, water, and sewer line replacement. To complicate matters further, both machines had to be installed on the second floor of the L. Brown facility, a process that called for creative rigging and the special expertise of skilled Heidelberg technicians. The new press and folder now sit alongside a POLAR cutting system and assorted smaller presses and bindery equipment.
"It could have been a logistical nightmare, but it all came together as a result of cooperation between our company and the City of Barre, as well to the competence and coordination displayed by our riggers and our Heidelberg technicians. It would be impossible to overstate how happy we were with the results. Even under the most trying conditions, Heidelberg personnel never let us down." Just seven days post-installation, the new press already was running a 200,000-sheet job on 80-lb. dull text, 2/2 at the full-rated speed, with the new folder following suit. "The performance of both machines is just astounding," Brown said.
L. Brown's decision to acquire the TH 82 folder and CD 74 represent the next step in the company's move to automate and network as many of its operations as possible via Heidelberg's comprehensive Prinect workflow. The most recent upgrade saw the addition of Heidelberg's Prinect Prinance MIS. On the equipment side, said Brown, the new folder shortly will receive a new stacker and banding unit. The company's next acquisition is likely to be an ST 450 saddlestitcher, followed by a second 29" Heidelberg perfecting press. The company uses the complete line of Saphira products for all its consumable needs.
With 25 full-time and up to 20 temporary workers on staff, L. Brown and Sons describes itself as a general commercial printer with heavy concentrations in high-end publication printing and printing for nonprofit, healthcare and educational organizations in the Northeast, as well as in packaging. The company also houses the largest on-demand book printing operation in the state.

Lone Wolf McQuade is a 1983 action film, starring Chuck Norris, David Carradine, Barbara Carrera, L.Q. Jones, R.G. Armstrong, Leon Isaac Kennedy and Robert Beltran, and is directed by Steve Carver. The film score was written by Francesco De Masi and borrows heavily from Ennio Morricone's score for Once Upon a Time in the West. The screenplay features a quiver of characters: the "lone wolf" Ranger Jim McQuade (Norris), the bad guy (Carradine) with the widow of his partner (Carrera) who falls for the hero at first sight, the retired buddy (Jones), the captain trying to rein in the hero (Armstrong), the federal agent (Kennedy) and the new young partner (Beltran) the hero does not want.

Analysis fuels talk of Bloomberg run
With presidential prospects in both parties volatile, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been polling and conducting a sophisticated voter...
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — With presidential prospects in both parties volatile, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been polling and conducting a sophisticated voter analysis in all 50 states as he decides whether to launch an independent presidential bid, associates said Wednesday.
The data collection started months ago, and when the review begins shortly, it will provide the data-obsessed billionaire businessman with the information he will use to decide whether to make a third-party run for the White House.
The scope of the research demonstrates how seriously Bloomberg is considering running for president despite his almost-daily denials that he isn't entering the race.
"They want a hardheaded sense of their chances," said Doug Schoen, who spearheaded Bloomberg's voter-database efforts, known as microtargeting, for his two mayoral campaigns.
Bloomberg's spokesman Stu Loeser declined to comment.
Schoen said he is not working for Bloomberg now, but he is part of the mayor's inner circle and in a new book, "Declaring Independence," he discusses how a third-party candidate could run for president.
Schoen was widely recognized for his microtargeting work in Bloomberg's first campaign. It was considered a groundbreaking concept in 2001 to gather and use information on individual voters, rather than voting blocs, to tailor and tweak the campaign message, advertisements and overall theme.
Using the microtargeting model, research firms working for Bloomberg, 65, are gathering information on voters throughout the country, such has who owns a home, has children in college, where they vacation, type of car or computer and past political support. The information will then be arranged to create a picture of each individual.
The data will then be analyzed to determine how each voter fits into several categories: "strong supporter," "persuadable supporter" or "potential volunteer."
New York state Independence Party Chairman Frank McKay said he began getting calls about Bloomberg-related polling from states such as Wyoming, Minnesota and New Mexico in early December. The pace of the polling appears to have picked up the past two weeks, McKay said.
"It's all coming down to one word — polling — and he's doing a ton of it," McKay said Wednesday night.
Bloomberg's public denials of any interest in running are getting weaker; he typically says only that he is "not a candidate."
On Monday, he participated in a bipartisan summit in Oklahoma that fueled speculation about his interest in seeking the presidency.
On Wednesday, the mayor repeated his stock denial.
"I am not a candidate for being president of the United States," he said. "Dec. 31, 2009, I'll have my last day at City Hall," he said. "On Jan. 1, 2010, I will go to the inauguration of my successor. On Jan. 2, 2010, I'll take my mother out to dinner for what will be her 101st birthday. On the third of January, I think I'll go and play golf for three or four days ... and then a life of philanthropy I think is what is going to happen."
William Cunningham, who worked on Bloomberg's mayoral campaigns and was communications director during his first term, said it makes sense that Bloomberg — who founded the financial-information company, Bloomberg — would gather voter information this way.
"The mayor has both built a business and managed the city by using data and analyzing it, so it would seem to me that any other venture he gets involved in, he'd be analyzing and collecting data," he said.
For Bloomberg's campaigns in 2001 and 2005, he spent more than $155 million, and in both cases, poured millions into the development of his voter database.
The obstacles to a third-party victory are enormous, but Schoen said they are not insurmountable.
Previous independent bids such as those by George Wallace, John Anderson and Ross Perot faced problems of money, organization and ballot access that someone like Bloomberg could more easily overcome.
The mayor has the money: Fortune magazine estimates his worth in the neighborhood of $11.5 billion, and others have speculated it could be double that.
Next comes organization, and Bloomberg operatives think they could recruit 1 million volunteers within a month of launching a campaign, aided by information gleaned from the voter database.
A major task for the volunteer force would be doing the ground work to get him on the ballot, a tricky process that differs wildly by state.
The first deadline to get on a state ballot is May 12 in Texas, and petitioners can only begin collecting signatures after the state's March 4 major-party primary.

Title: Spoiled
Author: Heather, Jessica Cocks, Morgan
Publication Info: Poppy 2011
Genre: Young Adult
This book was a departure from romance reading for me. Spoiled is not a romance. It's a YA novel, with a minor romantic element, and a long-distance relationship element. Without meaning to I stepped out of the genre and thoroughly enjoyed myself. But be ye aware, this is not a romance.
That said, I really enjoyed it. It's freaking hilarious. It is funny and fluffy and sudsy and silly. Really, you have to like silly humor a bit to enjoy this book.
In fact, it can be summed up in two words: Chanandaler Bong. If you get that reference, and you like pop culture jokes and silly humor, this book will give you an abdominal workout to go with the increasing upper arm power of your Shake Weight. Here's an excerpt.
No, wait, before I do the excerpt, I have to do the plot summary. Molly Dix is a regular girl in Indiana, reading celebrity magazines and running and going to school and coping with her mom's illness, until her mother, days away from death due to cancer, reveals that her father is really Brick Berlin, a mega-whopping movie star in Beverly Hills. When her mom dies, Molly is surprised to learn that Brick wants her to come live with him and his teenage daughter Brooke. Brooke, as you can imagine, is not at all in favor of this plan but has little say in it. So Molly moves to Beverly Hills, attends Brooke's incredibly posh private school, and gets thrown into the very deep end of LA celebrity culture. Cue half-sister battles set against fashion, media & movie references, and LA gossip.
Some of the characters are over the top ridiculous – and yet I can totally buy that way out there in Hollywood, there really are people who are that insane.
So here's that excerpt. Brick, for the record, is a complete nutjob. A hilarious complete nutjob.
Molly's feet were on the ground barely fifteen minutes before her life took another Hollywood turn. A uniformed driver whose sign said "Ms. Chanandaler Bong" grabbed her at baggage claim and escorted her to a glossy Escalade with tinted windows – one of which was cracked enough for her to see a man wearing a deeply fake beard in the backseat.
"Sorry for the cloak-and-dagger stuff," the guy said, learning out the window and peering at her over a pair of reading glasses with the lenses removed. "I didn't want to paparazzi to ruin this moment. Get in!"
Brick Berlin ripped off his chin fuzz with the gusto of a Mission: Impossible spy and threw open the door. His voice was every bit as deep and rich as it was in the movies – if it could have a flavor, it would be chocolate – and he looked exactly the same, right down to the unrealistic accessories….
As the driver slammed Molly's door shut, Brick hugged her so hard she felt a few ribs quit on her. He felt as densely muscular as he looked on film, and he smelled like spray tan and expensive cologne…. Molly was torn between being touched and wondering if he was acting, since this was exactly what his character did in Tequila Mockingbird when he rescued his fiance from South American sex slavery. It made the moment that much more surreal.
Brick pulled away and ruffled Molly's hair.
"You have Laurel's freckles," he told her. "Molly, I'm so sorry she's gone. She was a wonderful woman."
"It's okay," she said, her voice trembling. "I mean, thank you. I mean…"
"This is an emotional time for us all," Brick said kindly. "Cancer is a vicious thief."
He paused to let that sink in and then grabbed her face. "I've been waiting to meet you all your life, Molly. And now that you're here, I hate to look into those eyes an see and ounce of pain, sweet child of mine!"
If that excerpt makes you roll your eyes and snort laugh, this book will appeal to you because it is all like that. If you thought that was ridiculous and uninteresting, this book will probably not tickle your funny bone.
There's a pop-culture heavy sense of humor that cracked me up HARD. Every page was silly and satire with additional silly massaged into it. Over the top characters – including one named Arugula. Tension. Drama Llama. Additional appearances of drama llama, this time with excellent accessories. Shopping. More shopping. Backstabbing characters with nefarious intentions. Genuinely kind people lost in the choreography of all that backstabbing. Bizarre film or television references that are not real but realistic enough to be funny. Like a good April Fool's joke, the humor in this book is just this side of plausible but also crazy enough that you know it's a joke – or maybe it isn't and it's real and you have to Google to make sure. Their silly humor is the best and sharpest of satire.
I didn't find out about this book because of the book itself – I found out about it because of who wrote it. I like Go Fug Yourself. even though I don't know dickall about fashion and don't know who half the celebrities are when I visit, I love the writing. Their Jennifer-Lopez-narrated posts make me snort-laugh. There's a little bit of hype surrounding this book, which usually sends me sliding in the other direction, but in this case, I was very curious how their writing would translate to fiction.
Pretty damn well, it turns out. What I liked most about the story was that it's entire attitude was "go hard or go home." You know that goofy quote, "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, your body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "Woo hoo! What a ride!"
That is this book. It's over the top of over the top and it doesn't take itself too seriously. But if there's going to be a YA novel set between two sisters, with OC-meets-Gossip-Girl-meets-Sweet-Valley, Cocks and Morgan are going to bring it with noise and funk and some more noise and funk and wtfery on top of that. Every possible goofy reference they could make is in there, to the point where every third page I was laughing out loud (really) or reading it aloud to my husband in the car (really – the Chanandaler Bong scene made him snortlaugh). I think I convinced him to read it, and he's about as far from a YA/celebrity story reader as I am from reading any story where the hero dies in the end.
Some of the steam goes out of the narrative when the relationship between Brooke and Molly changes, but the silly adventure of the plot doesn't stop. There are unresolved stories – Brick, for one, and the ongoing but unexplained tension with one of their classmates – but I read in this interview that they are at work on a sequel. That would explain the unresolved threads and basted-but-not-sewn relationships, which is why this book was a solid B+ for me.
It's not as if you don't get a complete story in the book – you do. But you also get the setup for more. I wanted a more complete story arc, but then again, that promise of more of the same, with the wit and hilarity and silly fun, means I have more to look forward to, even though I'm not the best of readers when it comes to keeping up with a series (NB: I don't know how many books are planned for the Spoiled universe).
Basically, this book is like a pilot episode, but not one that you watch after the show has been on for a few years and think, 'Whoa, who the hell wrote THAT? I never would have watched this show if that was my introduction to it.' It's the pilot that makes you say, "Oh, crap. There goes Wednesday nights at 9 because my ass will be on the couch for the next one. And maybe the one after that."
Well played, ladies. Well played.
