63 Days. In the 80’s, "boot camps" for troubled teens became the new treatment dejour for parents at their wits end. However, after numerous allegations of severe abuse, untrained staff and several deaths, these camps came under much scrutiny. Steve Cartisano ran the most notorious of these camps, called Challenger Foundation. Alli was 15 when she was kidnapped from her bed and taken to Challenger. 63 Days is the story-in-progress about her brutal experiences there, her subsequent escape and the aftermath.

Happy Easter.

Curious George - Automated labels and postage? Ok. I got the final pricing in and have started the printing of the T shirts. They should be done in a week or two. I'm gonna need all the LA monkey's help doing a "t shirt envelope stuffing meetup" soon. Which leads me to my question.

1) Choose Life. 2) Add To Cart. The ad oddly describes the Save Terri Schiavo Teddy Bear ($18.99) as a "cutie" that will "put a smile on someone's face." Too perky?

Curious George: Shipping large items. My best pal just bought a great co-op in this wonderful building, that's the good news. The complicated news is, she's like to ship her dining-room table and chairs back to her parents as she doesn't have room for it. Any ideas on how to go about doing that fairly reasonably? They live about 450 miles away.
