The picture you never thought you'd see... Anna Wintour eating a burger and fries! Artist gives Vogue editor and her fashion friends a calorie-laden makeover
- Cartoons are the work of fashion designer turned artist aleXandro Palombo
- Palombo says the work is a tribute to an issue no one wants to raise
- Also featured in the images are John Galliano, Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs
Earlier this week, controversial Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld caused outrage after telling an interviewer that 'no one wants to see curvy women on the catwalk'.
Now artist aleXsandro Palombo has given the German designer a taste of his own medicine by creating a series of cartoons that portray him as grossly overweight.
And Lagerfeld isn't alone. Also in line for the Palombo treatment were Anna Wintour, Kate Moss and Tom Ford among others.
Heavyweight: Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld probably won't enjoy seeing himself portrayed as an obese fast food fan
Fat and fashionable: Kate Moss and Tom Ford (right) get the aleXandro Palombo treatment
The Lagerfeld images show the designer bulging out of his trademark monochrome suit and ensconced in an armchair guzzling fast food.
Donatella Versace is pictured spilling out of a tight red dress while an unusually dishevelled Tom Ford sits eating burgers in a crumpled suit.
Palombo is famous for his controversial cartoons and is no stranger to portraying the likes of Wintour and Lagerfeld in unusual situations, having previously authored a series that showed Wintour performing scenes from the Kama Sutra with Homer Simpson.
This time, says Palombo, the aim is to highlight the issue of fat in fashion - a subject that he believes is ignored.
'The topic of [being] oversize is still a taboo in the fashion business,' explained Palombo. 'With this series, I wanted to do a true tribute to the concept.'
Palombo, who also revealed that his favourite fashion icon is Anna Wintour, added: 'I think that fashion is chasing obsolete ideals more than suggesting impossible ones.
Not so glamorous: Vogue editor Anna Wintour looks a far cry from her usual gamine self in these cartoons
Mon Dieu! Carine Roitfeld is given a few extra pounds
Chunky: Lanvin's Alber Elbaz gets a fat-over courtesy of Palombo
Making his Marc: Designer Jacobs with a lot of extra weight
Body conscious: Both Donatella Versace and John Galliano are know for their dedication to looking good
'We are living [through] big changes but I feel that fashion is living in the past - the 80s are long gone.
'Fashion magazines are becoming less interesting but they continue to offer sad and boring women as an ideal - they are obviously the mirror of the editors more than their readers.'
Despite his love of lampooning fashion's great and good, Palombo boasts a very stylish CV of his own.
Previously a knitwear designer, he showed his collections at Milan Fashion Week, before turning his attention to satire via his blog Humor Chic.
He describes the blog as a daily society portrait: 'The best illustrated fashion chronicle, a point of view about costume, politics, culture, society and celebrity,' and describes himself as 'the father of Fashion Satire, visionary artist, author and critic.'
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the Chanel supremo was facing legal action after telling an interviewer that 'no one wants to see curvy girls on the catwalk'.
Although this is the first time the designer has faced court action because of his bons mots, he's not known for pulling his verbal punches.
Here are some of the other injured parties:
Russia: 'If I was a woman in Russia I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell's boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men.'
Greece: 'Greece needs to work on a cleaner image. It's a big problem, as they have this reputation of being so corrupt. You can't be sure the money will go where it's supposed to go,' he concluded. 'Nobody wants Greece to disappear, but they have really disgusting habits. Italy as well.'
The facially challenged: 'Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people. The worst is ugly short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life - they are mean and they want to kill you.'
The politically correct: 'Be politically correct, but please don't bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that's the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.'
Pippa Middleton: 'Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, the sister struggles. I don't like the sister's face. She should only show her back.'
Adele: 'The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.'
Lana Del Rey: 'Is she a construct with all her implants?'
Heidi Klum: 'I don't know Heidi Klum. She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn't know who she is.'

Happy inspiration
Southerners contribute to optimistic bookGWYNETH HYNDMAN
Relevant offers
A new book of happy thoughts from 54 Kiwi artists, musicians, playwrights, and novelists features Southland and Central Otago personalities, including actor Sam Neill and 109-year-old Invercargill woman Maudie Wilson.
Wellington writer Melissa Mebus, said she had been working on My Happy Place for about a year, after pitching the idea to friend and writer Witi Ihimaera as well as her sister, Mandy, who worked as a shepherd in the Queenstown area for years. Both were encouraging of the idea and both have included their own happy thoughts in the book, which is illustrated by children from schools around the country partnered with the KidsCan charity.
Once she had Ihimaera on board, the project took off, Mebus said.
Musician Ladi6 and world champion shearer David Fagan have also contributed, as well as poet and ex-Southlander Bill Manhire and singer-songwriter Boh Runga.
Mossburn native and award-winning poet Manhire said his happy place was living ''at the edge of the universe, like everybody else''.
Actor and Queenstown homeowner Sam Neill offered some wise words to live by: ''In life we all take a fall from time to time. The trick is to stand up again, dust yourself off and get right back on that bike again. Every time.''
Maudie Wilson, 109, said her happy place was remembering family walks up the hill behind her family home in Clyde, ''over to the mountain-framed plateau beyond ... I think of our happy chatter under open skies and know again the deep contentment of belonging ...''
Mebus said she came up with the idea while walking through Wellington on a windy, cloud-covered day. She thought about jotting down positive memories to get her through the gloomy spring weather, then thought if she had good memories to write down, others would as well.
She sent out questions asking ''what is your happiest thought or memory'' and ''what is a thought that brings you sunshine on a cloudy day and a sense of peace''.
The responses were varied and hugely creative, she said. Salmonella Dub's Andrew Penman wrote a paragraph on picnicking on the Maitai River with his nana; composer Fiona Pears said her happy place was her cottage garden, listening to bellbirds.
Mebus said the main goal of putting together My Happy Place was to support KidsCan.
''When I first contacted people asking them to contribute, the response was overwhelming. Almost everyone jumped at the opportunity to be involved; one person even asked to submit several memories.''
She hoped the self-published book could succeed ''through the power of the people'', she said.

Marijuana, 23 Pounds of it, Transported Via Bicycle, Police in South Pasadena Say
In the annals of narcotics distribution, people have come up with some pretty clever methods of transporting the goods, from cocaine surfboards to Tijuana drug tunnels, from anal cavities to loaded high heels. We once even heard of a dealer who preferred the comfort of a plain-Jane, four-door Mercedes E class, a totally suspicion-free, rich-grandma car.
But this guy -- pure genius. Except he got caught. Allegedly.
Police in South Pasadena appeared to have been humming along on patrol early this morning when ...
... they came across an old guy on a bike in the 300 block of Monterey Road. At 2:30 a.m.

The bicycle didn't have a front light or rear reflector, as required by law, police alleged, so he was stopped, according to what South Pas Sgt. Tony Abdalla tells the Weekly.
And, uh, what's that thing in your hand? Smells kind of ... pungent.
Cops say 53-year-old Marco Solis consented to a search: Officers found a whopping 23-pounds of marijuana in the cylindrical Igloo cooler he was carrying, alleges Abdalla.
Even if he didn't consent, officers could have searched Solis, he said, because the scent was obvious. "They could also smell marijuana on the outside of the cooler," Abdalla said.
Solis was arrested and booked on suspicion of possession of marijuana for transportation and sale. He was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.
We'll give the suspect here strong marks for originality. But the execution was sloppy (allegedly).
The lesson? If you're going to use your bike as a smuggling vessel, make sure it's street legal. Right?

After a few false starts, Sprint finally plans to begin consumer trials of its WiMAX networks this fall, according to a report by Telephony Online. The trials will kick off in September in Baltimore, Maryland, and they'll follow in Chicago and Washington, D.C. "before the end of the year."
Telephony Online says Sprint actually deployed WiMAX networks in those areas last year just before Christmas, but it has only run employee trials since then. Plans to start commercial trials early this year and to follow with a "full commercial launch" in the second quarter reportedly fell through.
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse announced the new commercial trial plans at the NXTcomm08 conference in Las Vegas, where he also played up the advantages of WiMAX over the alternatives. Hesse claimed the industry can't match today's wireless capacity demand with existing 3G networks, and only 4G or WiMAX can provide the necessary bandwidth at a low enough cost. Hesse also said he believes WiMAX networks should support "more than just traditional handset and laptop connections." He mentioned WiMAX-connected digital cameras, music players, and car navigation systems or stereos as examples.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — The National Park Service on Tuesday released a new policy on winter access to Yellowstone National Park that moves away from the current strict limits on daily numbers of individual snowmobiles and focuses instead on groups of people who use snowmobiles and snow coaches to enter the park.
The policy will take effect in the winter of 2014-2015 and follows years of planning and months of public comment. As a result, the details took nobody by surprise.
"Although the plan may not be perfect — few things are — it does protect Yellowstone's resources, while also allowing the public to access this amazing place in the winter," Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead said in a prepared statement.
Instead of the current strict daily limits on snowmobiles in Yellowstone, the new plan will regulate winter traffic through so-called "transportation events." A transportation event is defined as either a group of up to 10 snowmobiles or one snow coach. A snow coach is an enclosed snow machine that can carry multiple passengers.

Most Read Stories
Snowmobiles will be allowed to account for no more than 50 daily transportation events. No more than 110 transportation events per day will be allowed.
The plan also allows one group of up to five unguided snowmobiles through each park entrance each day.
Starting in 2015, snowmobiles must have the best available pollution-control equipment to be allowed inside Yellowstone. Snow coaches will need to be fitted with the best pollution controls starting in 2016.
Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk called the new policy a "balanced and flexible" plan that will work for tour operators and park visitors while protecting the park's landscapes.

...Since my sophomore year of college, my primary focus of studies has been the Arabic language and Middle Eastern culture. Everyday for the past 3 years (and still continuing), I've spent countless hours studying Arabic words, texts, and grammatical rules. My desire, passion, and continuous studies broadened my Arabic language proficiency and allowed me to take two courses in one semester.

Senator Lamar Alexander, the senior Republican on the Senate education and health committee, on Wednesday announced the Senate has begun debate on a bill he co-authored to continue a successful program that provides child care vouchers to low-income children.
"Each year, the Child Care and Development Block Grant program helps more than 1.5 million low-income children nationwide, including 39,000 in Tennessee, have the kind of early learning and care that can help put them on the same starting line as other children," Senator Alexander said. "The program works because it supports parents going to work or getting an education, and gives them the freedom to choose the child care that is right for their family."
The Child Care and Development Block Grant provides funding to states to subsidize child care for low-income families so that parents can work or participate in education and training activities. The reauthorization bill incorporates feedback and suggestions provided to the Committee since 2012. It continues to provide freedom to states in administering the funds but makes improvements to ensure quality in the child care provided.
The program continues to require parents to be working or attending school to receive the child care benefits, and allows them to choose the best child care provider for their family.
In 2012, this program allowed 39,000 Tennessee children to be cared for at about 6,300 providers in the state. The vast majority—more than 90 percent—of these children received care at a licensed provider, which means the facility is inspected at least four times per year, including for health and safety, and is subject to unannounced inspections.
Senator Alexander introduced the bill with committee chairman Senator Tom Harkin (D-Ia.) and Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), and Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the former chairman and ranking member of the Subcommittee on Children and Families.
The legislation, which was unanimously approved by the Committee in September 2013, represents the 17th bipartisan HELP Committee bill in the 113th Congress to be considered by the full Senate. Ten of those bills have already been signed into law.

Curried Chicken Stir-Fry with New Potatoes and Snow Peas
This dish combines the comfort of potatoes, the warmth of spices, and the crunch of fresh snow peas.
Level: Moderate
Serves: 4
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- ¼ c. vegetable oil
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
- ½ tsp. salt
- .13 tsp. Black pepper
- 1 tbsp. cumin seeds (optional)
- ½ small red onion
- 1 lb. large new potatoes
- 1 tbsp. garam masala or curry powder
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 c. snow peas
- ¼ c. fresh cilantro or mint leaves
- Lime wedges
- Put a couple tablespoons of oil in a large 12-inch nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over high heat. When hot, quickly stir in chicken and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until it sears, just a minute or two. Continue cooking, stirring once or twice, until chicken has lost its pink color, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Turn heat down to medium-high and add remaining oil to pan. When hot, add cumin seeds (if using), fry for 30 seconds, then add onion and potatoes. Add garam masala, along with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring or tossing, until onion has caramelized and potatoes are lightly browned, about 10 minutes; potatoes need not be fully tender.
- Return chicken to pan along with snow peas and continue cooking and stirring for about 2 minutes, or until chicken is warmed through and snow peas are crisp-tender. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve garnished with cilantro or mint and lime wedges.

All WV citizens should share in the profits from our natural gas resources?
Posted in the Charleston Forum
1 - 10 of 10 Comments Last updated Oct 31, 2013
#1 Oct 14, 2013
Alaska citizens receive compensation for their natural resources, so why don't the citizens of West Virginia share in profits being made off the natural resources of our state.
#2 Oct 14, 2013
half of west Virginians do receive compensation from our natural resources, they just call it welfare.
#3 Oct 23, 2013
i agree. with all the natural gas sittin under wv all of west virginians should be entitled to the profits made off the gas.
#4 Oct 23, 2013
We do get profits from it. If you own the mineral rights to the lad the well is on you receive profit. You can't receive money for setting on your ass!!! You have to work for it! I worked to be able to afford my land and now my land makes money for me
#5 Oct 31, 2013
its good you've got land. its all good you had support & opportunity to be able to purchase your land. but i don't think the issue is a'setting on your a$$' situation. i think its a larger picture that will impact the lives of all WV citizens. the large natural gas reserves are beneath the entire state of wv and should belong to all the citizens of the state. there are repercussions to 'extracting' the natural gas that is underneath the entire state and all the citizens are going to experience those repercussions in one way or another. A lot of states have stopped the 'fracking'(i think that's what its called) because of the adverse impact on the total state and its citizens. So it only seems right that if there will be an adverse impact on ALL the state that ALL the citizens of the state of wv should enjoy the profits as well as the negative impact.--as well, look at the financial impact and improvement in the lives of every man, woman, and child residing in the state of wv. the cultural of poverty plaguing the lives of so many in this state would at last be given some hope for the future. the advantages to sharing in the rewards of this states natural resources could turn this state around in so many positive ways.--Just think, you would still reap the benefit and profit of your land, as well, receive the financial benefit from being a citizen. It would be a win -win situation for you and other landowners.
#6 Oct 31, 2013
Are you kidding? The PROFITS from these companies doesn't ever even funnel back into the state....They are all OUT OF STATE "CORPS" that rarely invest back into the communities they RAPE....
#7 Oct 31, 2013
duh!-- why not try to change that around? perfect opportunity with the natural gas.
#8 Oct 31, 2013
Any suggestions? If you have a way to FORCE this to happen...run for office...we'd all vote for you...
#9 Oct 31, 2013
Shut up hillbilly. You're not amusing. Oh and btw, I'm resigning. You can have your computer back.
#10 Oct 31, 2013
--has this idea been considered before -has anybody researched out 'how' it works in Alaska -- has anybody suggested it to our elected officials? our elected officials spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on studies to save money, make money --- well, why not spend that same money and research an existing plan that is working for the state of alaska and its people. WV legislature make our laws and determine 'who''how''what' happens in WV -- it seems only reasonable that if the oil/gas companies want to tap into the natural gas underneath wv then in the best interest of the state and its citizens 'a new plan of action to share in the benefits of the natural gas resources owned by its citizens' is to be put on the table. i think its a great idea.

Wow I just updated to WordPress 3.8 and everything looks a little strange…I digress!
Budget and the Beach will be taking a short break this week to catch up on some much needed rest, and re-tooling the site a little bit. I figured a lot of you are probably already doing the same thing.
But I'll be back a week from Monday hopefully feeling shiny and new. Or, I'll settle for just shiny at this point.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas doing whatever it is you do.
And hopefully none of you will have to face this problem if you are going home to visit the folks:

Apple Health and HealthKit for iOS 8 has your wellness at heart
Apple has turned its focus to your health with its latest version of iOS 8 for the iPhone and iPad.
Coming in two parts, HealthKit and Health, the app will work with third-party apps to pull together all the health-related information that is being pulled in by the various apps people are using, rather than leaving the data siloed as it currently does.
The system will be able to capture and track numerous bits of information like weight, heart rate, calories burned, and even sleep allowing you to monitor your health without having to switch to a different app that you are currently using (as long as it supports the new features).
"With your permission, each app can use specific information from other apps to provide a more comprehensive way to manage your health and fitness. For example, the Nike+ apps using NikeFuel will be able to pull in other key HealthKit metrics such as sleep and nutrition to build a custom user profile and improve athletic performance," explained Apple.
Apple's new iOS 8 is expected to be available later this year and features a number of other new tricks including an improved keyboard and photo sharing options.
Nike has already confirmed that its Nike apps will support the new features.

Hurricanes have been keeping away from Florida as the state enjoys a record seventh year without being struck by one. Meanwhile, other more rarely hit locales, such as New York and the Azores, have seen an increase in storms.

Keywords: Florida, hurricanes, storms, record, Atlantic
ORLANDO, FL (Catholic Online) - The end of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season comes to a close today with Florida escaping the storms for a seventh year in a row. This despite the fact that it was one of the busiest seasons in history with 19 named storms and 10 hurricanes.
Researchers say it seems to be luck, more than anything else, that's protecting the state.
The storms have been forming early and steering north sooner than normal, however there is no discernible reason, at this time, on which to credit the development.
Unfortunately, there is no reason to expect the record will hold either. Florida will be struck again, but the respite is appreciated.

Bring your overgrown lilacs (Syringa), Forsythia, and other spring flowering shrubs down to size while maintaining their natural beauty and spring floral display.
Prune spring blooming shrubs right after flowering. These shrubs set their flower buds in summer and pruning any other time will eliminate the all important spring floral display.
You'll need safety glasses to protect your eyes and gloves. Use bypass pruners that make a clean cut that closes quickly. Cut small stems ½ inch diameter or less with hand pruners. Use loppers to extend your reach and cut slightly bigger stems and a pruning saw for the rest.
Start by removing any crossed or dead branches. Then remove a few of the larger stems, on suckering shrubs, right back to ground level. Reduce the height on the remaining stems as needed. Make your cut on a slight angle above an outward facing bud or stem.
A bit more information:
Summer blooming shrubs like Potentillas, summer blooming spireas, and Annabelle hydrangeas form their flowers on new growth. Prune these, when needed, in late winter or early spring before growth begins or anytime during the dormant season.

Language evolves and is shaped by active forces. As technology, culture, and society moves forward, our language and keywords are forced to keep up. Because this change happens fast, it's increasingly common that a social, technical, or cultural manifestation has emerged and isn't yet defined, commoditized, or made into a cliché.
The interesting thing is that, as search marketers, when some other branch of marketer comes to us all charged up after identifying a new concept or trend, we respond with "well, there's not that much search volume on that." And so we exit the conversation and the action moves elsewhere.
In other words, search marketers are followers.
Keywords Without Search Volume are Opportunities
Search marketers should be marketers first, search specialists second. If a new social trend is emerging that has not hit the public consciousness to the point where there is identifiable query volume that reflects the underlying semantics, we should see this as an opportunity, not a reason to step aside.
Trends without query volume are content marketing opportunities. They are business-building opportunities. They are stuff of which money is made.
For example, a client has a product portfolio that makes preparing side dishes, main dishes, and meals easier. It's not microwave dinners, it's cooking made quicker, easier, and with less planning required. As we mulled this over, we realized that outside quick and easy keywords, the larger concept had not been defined and as result had little query volume.
What is the larger concept? It's the idea of agile cooking. Of responsive cooking, Of being able to cook a separate dish for each member of the family. Of being able to spread dinnertime out over the course of several hours to accommodate schedules. It's families creating sustainable food cultures that work for them. Not the way their parents eat, but a way of eating that works for them, as they live now, and that results in happy and well-fed families.
What are the keywords for that? They don't exist. Flat out. Which means there is an opportunity for the brand to own this concept, define the language, and own the keywords as they gain currency in the culture.
Create a Concept, Own the Language
Creating a concept and owning the language isn't a new idea and is often employed by management and research consultancies. 'ERP' or Enterprise Resource Planning software – was a term coined by the Gartner group around 1990 and they owned that language for a quite a while.
Notice the use of the word "coined", as in to make money. It was only when firms like SAP and Oracle began selling ERP software in huge amounts that they lost ownership of the term. But by then, they were off coining new terms.
When you get good enough at this tactic, you may become a genericized trademark like Google, or Kleenex. Then you are guaranteed to rank for your keywords. Kleenex didn't go around trying to capture interest in facial tissues – they created the concept and defined the language to the point where they werethe keyword.
Be a Leader: Make Your Own Keywords
As search and SEO firms morph and evolve, we need to prick up our ears the second we hear about a new idea that doesn't seem to have any relevant identifiable keywords or query volume. That's an opportunity knocking. That's the time to start talking about a content marketing program and an editorial calendar to start defining the concept, creating the language, and pushing it out through social, owned, and paid channels.
And once you've defined the language, you're going to rank for it. Search marketers need to step up and become full stack marketers, using keyword insights and understanding of inbound channels as bellwethers for business opportunity.
We don't need to follow. We can lead.

Southeast incorporates mobile museum into Family Fun Day
Friday, June 9, 2006
Robyn Mainor's job falls somewhere between that of an elementary school educator and a short-haul trucker.
Her classroom's bright pink, orange, green, red and every-other-color-known-to-man exterior catches the eyes of people on area roads every day.
"I even have my own fan club," Mainor said with a laugh. "When my friends see me driving down the road they always honk."
Mainor is the steward of one of Southeast Missouri State University's most acclaimed showpieces -- the Southeast Explorer Regional Museum. The 38-foot-long converted Winnebago has held several thousand visitors this year since it started touring its 26-county service area in February.
Since the mobile museum started service in 2004, it has been seen by tens of thousands of people.
But on Saturday, the explorer won't be mobile. Instead it will serve as a stationary museum where children can learn about Missouri history (and pre-history) as part of the regional museum's annual summer Family Fun Day outside Memorial Hall at Southeast Missouri State University.
The museum holds a family day every summer to continue its educational outreach even though school is out of session.
This year will be the first time the explorer will take part in the day, though, said Ellen Hahs, the museum's curator of education.
Mainor sees the event as a way to acquaint local parents with the explorer. Children across the area have seen the brightly colored RV visit their schools, but the strange vehicle is an unusual sight for parents who don't know its purpose, she said.
"I get a lot of 'I don't know what that is' from people," Mainor said.
After the summer she hopes those comments will become less frequent. This summer the explorer's profile should increase in the area. In addition to the usual trips to schools, the museum on wheels will pop up at area events like the Cape Girardeau Regional Air Festival.
This kind of outreach is not just for the children, Mainor said.
"A lot of people just don't know this information," said Mainor.
The current exhibit was designed for fourth graders, who are learning about Missouri history as part of their curriculum.
But here in the explorer, the information is presented in a way that doesn't talk down to adults but isn't over the heads of children, Mainor said.
The chief of big Winnebago gives a preview of what information is available on this current incarnation of the explorer: the geology responsible for shaping the area, the Native American who lived here before European settlement, the early explorers and the transformation of Southeast Missouri from swamp to farm.
Each stop along the way tells a different story that intertwines with the others to make a whole. Those stories often connect directly with children's life experiences.
"All the kids know about the Mississippians because they're the mound builders," Mainor explains about the "Early Peoples" display case. "They say, 'Oh, my grandpa has a mound in his field.' And of course they've all seen arrowheads."
And the kids all know about the animals that co-existed with the earliest Missourians -- the mastodons -- thanks to the movie "Ice Age."
Mainor, "Miss Robyn" to the children, says the explorer presents history in a way that has relevance to children. A powerpoint presentation, interactive computer games and the visual nature of exhibits have an appeal "for kids that aren't always interested in history," she said.
"We fill such a niche," Mainor says. "You can only learn so much in a book."
Teachers agree. Since it started rolling in 2004, the explorer has steadily gotten more and more requests from area teachers.
"The students were very attentive, they gained a lot of knowledge and they probably saw a lot of unique things they wouldn't have been able to see otherwise because they wouldn't have had the opportunity," said Harriet Martin, an elementary school teacher at Jackson's Orchard Drive Elementary.
Martin's students and several other classes were visited by the explorer on Tuesday and Wednesday.
"This allows for the students to have a field trip right outside their door," she said.

Police deal with peeing perpetrator
Relevant offers
Viral mobile phone footage of police dealing with a man caught urinating out the window of a moving car highlights the scrutiny officers are now under, the Police Association says.
"There has always been that level of scrutiny," Association vice president Stuart Mills said, "but police are very much aware of the presence of smartphones now."
There have been two cases in the past month where police have had to pull over drivers on the road and the occupants of the cars have recorded them. The first case - where an officer called the young motorist a "dickhead" and repeatedly swore at him - is under investigation by the Independent Police Conduct Authority.
The latest recording was filmed by a front-seat passenger in a car full of young men, one of whom was writhing in agony with a full bladder. The video - viewed almost 45,000 times since it was posted on YouTube on January 2 - shows the man absolutely busting to go to the toilet and barely able to hold on.
Eventually deciding there's only one thing for it, he relieves himself out the window as the car travels down Wellington's Centennial Highway. His friends hold his legs to keep him inside the car while the front seat passenger leans across the driver to get footage of the action going on outside the vehicle.
Showing a lack of nous or local knowledge, the group drives straight past a police base and is promptly pulled up.
Two police handling the incident are shown to be more than fair and warn the peeing perpetrator that "you're still really not allowed to get your dick out in public".
Mills said that, although the language might be a bit rough, the officers were relating to the men well and "hopefully they would remember the treatment they got from those officers when they next thought about doing something that silly".
And what's good for the goose is good for the gander; Mills said the public's use of technology to film police was a "good thing", given many recordings could also be used by police as evidence.
"For example, in cases of school bullying and those sorts of things, it's is now much easier to find out exactly what has happened because a member of the public has caught the entire thing," Mills said.
Police spokesman Grant Ogilvie said the possibility of being filmed or recorded was just "part of the modern policing environment" and officers were aware of it.
"They have always worked under the scrutiny of the public and advancements in recording technology is just an extension of that scrutiny.
"Our staff work to the highest professional standards and the possibility of being filmed does not alter how they conduct themselves while going about their lawful duty."
In the end, the Wellington men were not copped with a fine.
"They [the Police] came up and said this is not on. They said, "right, we can't arrest you for this''...so aside from a bit of banter with them they let us away,'' the peeing man said on a subsequent YouTube post.

*Notorious former Chicago Police Lieutenant Jon Burge now faces up to 45 years in prison after being found guilty of lying to a grand jury and obstruction of justice in a case growing out of his practice of torturing confessions out of Black criminal suspects.
Prior to the convictions, Burge's victims had won millions of dollars in lawsuits and wrongful convictions from the city of Chicago.
The 62-year-old's perjury resulted from a 2003 civil lawsuit filed by former Death Row inmate Madison Hobley who sat in prison for years after Burge and other detectives tortured him into confessing to a murder he did not commit.
Another victim Mark Clemens stood outside the federal courthouse and said of Burge, "These people stole my f—— life." The 45-year-old Clements said in 1981 he was forced to confess to a quadruple murder by detectives, under Burge's command, who squeezed his genitals. (Taylor Media Services)

A new study says that if corrective action isn't taken, health-insurance companies could exclude 27 percent of qualifying Americans now eligible for premium-assistance tax credits under the health-reform law because they plan to require customers to pay premiums automatically through a bank account.
Denying coverage to the more than 8 million "unbanked" Americans will undermine efforts to expand health coverage and equalize access to health care, says the report at www.jacksonhewitt.com/Resource-Center/Affordable-Care-Act/?wpisrc=nl_won... from tax service firm Jackson Hewitt.
Another 20 percent are "underbanked," meaning they have accounts but prefer to use payday loans and other non-bank financial services. One in five households use check-cashing stores and money lenders instead of a traditional bank, says the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Most health plans accept a credit card for the first month's premium payment and thereafter require monthly payment from a checking account.
Federal officials are wary of taking action that might discourage insurance companies from participating in the state insurance exchanges, Varnet heard from current and former state health officers who have pressed the Department of Health and Human Services for a ruling.
"I think there is a dawning awareness that this is a large problem," Brian Haile told Sarah Varney of Kaiser Health News. Haile is senior vice president for health policy at Jackson Hewitt and has called on federal officials to set a uniform standard requiring all insurers to accept all forms of payment. Alternative forms include credit cards or pre-paid debit cards that people without bank accounts often use.
While health insurance companies are evaluating these options, no law requires them to accept all forms of payment, notes Varney.
"I've not seen any specific guidance that says you have to be able to accept these types of payments," Ray Smithberger, Cigna's general manager of individual and family plans, told Sarah Kliff of The Washington Post.
Insurance carriers take a risk by accepting credit cards and pre-paid debit cards because transaction fees can run as high as 4 percent and pre-paid cards are popular among low-wage workers, Haile told Varney. "If you accept re-loadable debit cards, are you in fact getting folks with lower health status?" he said. "That's a real risk when you're in the insurance business. So you can't be the only one picking up those risks."
The Jackson Hewitt report calls for immediate action by federal policy makers to ensure insurers cannot discriminate against the 'unbanked' through their payment acceptance policies by creating a system-wide rule requiring all forms of payment must be accepted. "Given the dilemma presented to insurance companies by the strong financial incentives to discourage non-bank payment mechanisms, insurers are unlikely to resolve this issue without federal action," the report says.
