There’s nothing like a party to get the creative juices flowing, and a bar
or bat mitzvah is a perfect outlet. While the decor, food and atmosphere
are all critical elements of a memorable simcha, an idea for a take-home
“favor” is often what keeps party planners up at night.
After putting so much time and effort into the actual occasion, why do we
drive ourselves crazy thinking up original and unusual favors for our
guests? Perhaps it’s our secret desire to impress the neighborhood, or
maybe it’s that beautiful Jewish instinct to give “just one more bite.”
Whatever the reason, party favors are clearly here to stay.
Mementos range from edible place cards to picture frames and T-shirts.
Just
ask one mother…
Plan now to maximize your car’s resale value
Monday, September 28th, 2009Plan now to maximize your car’s resale value
Medical Economics, January, 2007 by Wollenberg, Yvonne Chilik; Rose, Joan R

Honda and Acura vehicles are tied for the best resale values after five years, says Kelley Blue Book, a vehicle information company. Depreciation is often the largest expense to hit drivers during the first five years of ownership. The average vehicle will be worth only about 35 percent of its original retail price after five years, so that $20,000 car you buy today will probably be worth about $7,000 in 2012.
Aside from buying a car with a high resale value, you can protect your investment by choosing features that used car buyers will want down the road, such as antilock brakes, alloy wheels, CD player/changer, leather seats, and navigation system. You should also stick with a popular color, such as black, white, or silver.

Nick Cave might not be well known, but time spent with this complex Australian rocker is well spent. He doesn’t shy away from dense theological issues, which he explores in a rambling, lyrical style that recalls Jim Morrison at his poetic peak. Having survived addiction, broken relationships and enough stylistic shifts to inform five careers, Cave is an unlikely hero, somewhat resembling Johnny Cash (whose life had its own train-wreck qualities). In fact, Cash did his own version of Cave’s “The Mercy Seat,” the ultimate validation for a songwriter who called the Man in Black his hero.
Now comes Cave’s Dig!!! Lazarus, Dig!!!–an album that welds together grinding punk, twisted pop, loop-based music and shuffling, blues-informed grooves, yet never loses its center. While some might lament that Cave and his backup band, the Bad Seeds, have mellowed, rest assured that a mellower Nick Cave is still bracing. Ruminating as usual on mortality, violence, love and the possibility of redemption, he affirms his core belief that “any true love song is a song to God.”
The centerpiece of Lazarus is “We Call Upon the Author,” a thundering drone of organ, drums and bass that takes on the age-old question of how a benevolent God allows so much suffering, sin and deception. At times alarmingly profane, “Author” recalls XTC’s “Dear God,” except that the indignation here is righteous rather than atheistic: “O rampant discrimination / mass poverty / third world debt / infectious disease / global inequality and deepening socioeconomic divisions ..

Package Printing: Mainstream Crossover

Printing News, Jun 1, 2009 by Vruno, Mark
To increase opportunities and profits, more commercial printers are adding packaging to their product lists. In the United States alone, packaging is a $200 billion business – and savvy printing firms are using technology to grab their fair share of dollars.
Economic studies from the Printing Industries of America and Print Industries Market Information and Research Organization (PRIMIR) confirm that increasing numbers of print company owners have and are expanding into ancillary services such as mailing, fulfillment, and database management. Postpress bindery and finishing services are more natural outgrowths, and more commercial printers are diversifying into newspa- “This year we’ve gone into online marketing. We do a lot of pURLs and we expanded our mailing capabilities/7 explained Wilker. “I’m also on the board of the Greater New Jersey Postal Council. Our company does outdoor signage work and uses eco inks. We’re environmentally conscious and do UV coating and laminating. We’ve also expanded beyond the core of traditional offset printing and do ancillary and promotional items. We’re greatly expanded our services during the last nine years. You have to keep moving,” Wilker noted.
AlphaGraphics has digital presses including Xerox DocuColors, a Xerox Workcentre Pro 40 digital color laser printer, a Xerox Nuvera 120 blackand-white digital laser printer, a Canon ImageRunner and ImageClass, a bookletmaker, and a saddle stitcher.
His definition of a modern day printer in transition is being able to keep business and make money. He stated that during the first quarter of 2009, his AlphaGraphics franchise was ahead of last year’s revenue. He said that hiring their first outside salesperson in December 2008 contributed to the success. “There’s business out there, but it doesn’t come to you – you have to go out on the road to get it,” he pointed out.
Consultative Approach
The Wilkers have an in-house design department and work with their clients to come up with marketing campaigns. The Wilkers recommend that their clients try out the concept of pURLs
