When Newton started to publish the Marvel Comics in the 1975 they decided that they needed a public face. In the same way that Marvel had 'Smilin' Stan Lee, who would promote the line via the media and also through the comics themselves, Newton needed someone who was accessible, young and hopefully in touch with comics. To that end they advertised for a comic book enthusiast to come on board and edit the Newton Comic line. The person they chose was a nineteen year old engineering student named John Corneille. John was a long time comic book collector and even help found the Australian Comic Collector fanzine (if anyone has copies then talk to me now!) as well as running conventions along the way. John was also branded with a name that still makes him squirm when he hears it - 'Gentle' John. Gentle John's Mailbag showcased letters from Australian readers, some of whom were discovering the Silver-Age Marvels for the first time, along with some who weren't fooled. To his credit John would run letters by the more knowledgeable fans who'd ask for details to be placed in the books to alert people to the original appearance. It might have gone against company policy, but John would use the word 'reprint' in many letters and as such wouldn't shy away from the fact that Newton were reprinting original Marvel comics that might be available elsewhere.
John is a friendly guy, open and honest and it was a pleasure to finally catch up with him for a phone interview a few months ago during which he lifted the lid on the world of Newton Comics, and in doing so revealed some information that not many either knew or were allowed to publish previously.
DANIEL BEST: What do you remember about Newton Comics?
JOHN CORNEILLE: I hooked up with Newton in about February 1974 when they got the idea going. Initially I was hired to work one day a week putting the books together. I juggled page numbers around the advertisements to try and keep a certain amount of coherence with the stories, but if we didn't have the art to finish a story then we just skipped the pages. Newton started actual production in April/May 1975. In December 1975 they just pulled the plug on the whole thing because it was just too much trouble. Then they came and started again after two weeks or so and that's when it became pretty much chaotic and it was just print whatever we've got. From May to December it was pretty much organized and then after that it was the last gasp of a dying company, so I've got a good idea as to what happened in the first year or so. It's a little bit of a haze after that because a lot of stuff just got reprinted and rehashed without any of my input. At the end there they were just printing anything they could. Some of it was virtually made up in the production department without any input by me and they just put new covers on things and re-issued the same things again. The company was going bust at that stage and they hadn't paid Marvel for any license fees and couldn't get any more material. So there's a lot of stuff out there that no-one would have any record of because they were just special issues and things and they just made up new covers and printed the same things.
Originally the guys who set it up went to the states and lined it all up. Marvel shipped out enough material for what was estimated to be about six months or so. Marvel got the initial payment for the licensing costs and I got a feeling that Marvel never got a cent out of them after that. So after they shipped the second lot of material I've got a feeling that Marvel didn't get paid anything because that was already when Max Newton started bouncing cheques down there. What happened was that Newton didn't get any material out of Marvel after the first six months.
For the first year they were pretty much organized with the Spider-Man stuff, the Fantastic Four and whatever, but after that first year it was a matter of print whatever we haven't printed or print whatever we've printed anyway but put a new cover on it. I wasn't even there for the last few months of it and they were just putting covers on old non-sold items, re-issuing and doing all sorts of dodgy things.
DB: The first titles were The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Avengers, Planet Of The Apes and the like. But there were also some odd titles out there. I can understand Planet Of The Apes due to the TV show, but Dracula?
JC: Well that's right, Planet Of The Apes was hot on TV in those days, and that was Marvel's best selling magazine. That was why Newton did Planet Of The Apes, otherwise it was supposed to be the normal stuff, so we had Spider-Man, Avengers, Conan, Fantastic Four. I can't remember Dracula.
DB: Newton did about 14 issues of Dracula and a couple of specials.
JC: I must have had very little input into that. To some extent it would have just been what we had. Marvel sent us some material and once we couldn't get anymore we went with it. The first six months was fairly organized, but after that it was whatever they could lay their hands on to some extent so that might explain the Dracula books. That was also the reason for so many annuals and compilations in the end run because they were looking for any way to put out any material they had left.
DB: The letters pages were interesting and frank.
JC: I used real letters for the most part, but sometimes if I needed to get a particular point across I'd write and then answer my own letters. But the bulk of the letters in that we printed were from real people.
DB: You didn't keep any records or files from those days?
JC: No. I'm a collector myself but the thought of twenty or thirty years time someone might be interested in this stuff was just not conceivable to me at the time, even though I was collecting stuff that was only twelve years old at that stage. So no, I didn't keep any records. In fact I doubt that even they kept anything. It was a very ad-hoc situation down there. It was the last throws of a dying company (Regal Press, Newton Comics parent company). It was organized for the first year and then after that it was print anything and really they just didn't care. They were really not happy with fussing too much about, "Well we really shouldn't do this or do that". After a while they said, "Look, nobody cares. Just put it out and sell 'em."
DB: I've spoken to people who worked at Marvel at the time and no-one remembers Newton.
JC: No, they wouldn't. Their only input was meeting the guys from Australia, doing the initial set-up, sending the material and getting an initial payment.
What would probably be interesting to you now is the licensing fee amount.
DB: Absolutely.
JC: I can't remember it exactly, but I remember that it was in the order of $30,000 for the initial period, which might have been either six months or a year, and I reckon that Marvel got half of that, which was a fair bit of money in those days, that was a house in the suburbs, so they got about half of that, or even $10,000, and I don't believe that Marvel got another cent after that. I think there was correspondence for a while, but Max Newton was the expert at stalling people. I was in the office with (Regal Press editor) Marty Dougherty when he took a couple of calls from the United States and after a while they said we won't take the calls from Marvel anymore. Mind you Marty was incessantly guilty about that, he actually had no stomach for the way things were run around at Newton and I think he was looking for a way out and he moved as quickly as he could. He then had a huge battle to get any of his entitlements out of Newton. He was one of about two really straight guys around there; it was a very uncomfortable place for them.
Also at that stage the sales had dwindled quite a lot. When they started they did contra* advertising with Channel 9, the afternoon show of Hey Hey It's Saturday**, and so sales initially were quite high. Spider-Man #1 initially was 30,000. They thought the sales were 30,000 but they didn't realize how long it took for the returns to come back. They were in the publishing business and they would have known all of that, but I think what happened was the newsagents kept them past their normal cycle because they were doing well. Then the next magazines that came out were The Avengers and the Fantastic Four and they went out with about 25,000 print runs. It was only about five weeks in that we discovered that where we thought that Spider-Man had sold 30,000, about 8,000 or so came back. Then quite a lot of the other books started coming back. What it meant was that quite a lot of the actual sales figures topped out at about 20,000 or so with the TV advertising, then the novelty wore off and the sales for the rest were about 8,000 to 10,000. About three or four months in most of them were selling more like 3,000 to 4,000 per issue which was getting pretty marginal for them. When those figures started to hit home around November they pulled the plug. Then they thought about it and decided well it's only newsprint and it's all very well saying we're paying for this and this and this and is it all worthwhile but if we just presume that we've got all this stuff and we're not paying anybody anything...so they decided to put them out even though they were only selling 3,000 copies. Then they just printed everything they could after January 1976.
DB: Newton also did a cross promotion with Weeties***.
JC: They were the kings of contra those guys and there were all sorts of promotions going on. The only one I really remember clearly which was the initial one which had the biggest success, and that was the afternoon TV show. Newton outsold the American magazines four to one for a while in Australia but the kids got weaned off them and the American books dominated. My main issue, and I voiced it, was that you could buy a proper colour edition for twenty cents, so why would you buy a black and white reprint for thirty cents? They said that the mums don't know that and they were right and I was wrong. The kids would see a comic on TV, they'd ask for it and the parents would buy the shiny colored Newton comic and pass up the original American one. The Newtons did have more pages though.
* Contra deals rule in Australia. The late Graham Kennedy would do the bulk of his endorsements via contra deals. A contra deal is where a person advertises a product in return for the product itself, usually in lieu of a cash payment. It can also be used, as it was in this case, for reciprocal advertisement. Thus Channel 9 advertised Newton Comics, in return Newton Comics ran ads for Channel 9. No cash changed hands and the ads were probably written off the books as a freebie.
I'm always open to contra deals. I've done more than a few in my time. My favourite was a running ad for a certain wine during my time at the ABC. I was pissed as a little beetle every second Thursday.
** A long running television show, in case you're too lazy to click the link. It originally started out as a children's program and evolved into a prime-time weekly variety show, probably the last of it's kind.
*** An Australian breakfast cereal. The breakfast of champions really. Great with milk and one of the best breakfast cereals to eat once it's gone soggy.

Toyota Prius Plug-in outselling both Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt first six months
In its first six months of production availability, Toyota says the Prius Plug-in has racked up some powerful statistics, and customer acceptance. The plug-in hybrid version of the popular Prius has not only outsold the first six months of Nissan Leaf (3,875 units) and Chevy Volt (2,745 units) sales, but is getting positive reviews.
According to Toyota, in its first six months of available 6,061 Toyota Prius Plug-in's have been sold. The company expects September to be another strong month, with special lease and APR offers available. This is a faster sales growth than either the Nissan Leaf or Chevy Volt and the initial sales volume of both vehicles. What we have pointed to in examining Leaf and Volt sales growth is that both outsold the initial sales of the Gen 1 Toyota Prius. Today, the Prius is past the initial adoption curve, and is already a popular vehicle on the market. On the other hand, the Leaf and Volt are still in their initial adoption phase and working on gaining traction in the market.
Toyota describes the benefit of the Prius Plug-in as offering the same overall package & shape as the Prius Liftback, while offering an electric-only driving range of 12 miles or so. Oh, and the Prius Plug-in can seat five passengers, which the Volt cannot do because of the shape of that car's battery pack. The 2012 Prius Plug-in Hybrid has an EPA-rated at 95 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) fuel efficiency in EV mode and 50 MPG estimate in hybrid mode. The Volt has a fuel efficiency of 98 MPGe in electric mode, and 37 MPG in hybrid mode, but offers a 35-40 mile electric driving range. The EPA estimates the Volt will cost $1.08 to drive 25 miles on electricity only, and $2.70 to drive 25 miles on gasoline only, and have a total annual fuel cost of $950. For the Prius Plug-in those estimates are $1.54 to drive 25 miles on a mix of gasoline and electricity, $1.86 to drive 25 miles on gasoline only, and an annual fuel cost of $1000.
According to Toyota's buyer data, the Prius Plug-in outshines both the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf because of fuel economy, and the way the Prius Plug-in addresses range anxiety. As we've just seen the Prius Plug-in has a higher fuel efficiency in hybrid mode, but the Volt edges out the Prius Plug-in in annual fuel cost. Presumably this is because the Volt's larger battery pack lets it drive more electric-only miles, and electricity is a much cheaper fuel than gasoline.

VFW Post 7110 marks a big anniversary By ABE LEVY Staff Writer The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 71 IO remembered 50 years of supporting the community and the nation's war veterans at a celebration Saturday night. "It just doesn't seem that long," said Earl Heaton, 77, who was one of 37 charter members still active in the post. "The years have a habit of slipping away. They've been good years anyway." The post, which received its charter on May IS, 1946, is made up of508 members, mainly World War II veterans. The rest are from tire Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf wars, said Robert Quent, 65, the current commander of the post. Heaton, who served as a machinist for the Ship Repair Service of the U.S. Navy in WW II, said the post was organized at a meeting in 1946 to see whether enough interest was present in New Braunfels. "It was an organizational meeting. Most of those guys knew each other from their service days. We circulated a petition and it just multiplied until we had IOO signatures," Heaton said. The first post commander was Schimnrel Bloedom, who attended the Saturday celebration The VFW Lady's Auxiliary to the VFW * post was created a year later and assists the post in its functions. The auxiliary is made up of the wives, sisters and daughters of post members. "(The benefit of the auxiliary) is patriotism and the satisfaction of community involvement," said Janice Quent, 53, who is the auxiliary president and the wife of Robert Quent. The celebration, which was held at the VFW Post Home at 600 Peace Ave, included recognition of the remaining 37 charter members, a memorial service, installation of officers for the post and auxiliary, a dinner and dance. VFW member Bob Tice was the host of die celebration. The celebration will continue on Wednesday with a concert by the Air Education & Training Command Band of the West, an Air Force band that has played for president John F. Kennedy and all the subsequent presidents. The post, through tire years, has maintained a strong presence in the community, donating to such charities as United Way, the New Braunfels ROTC, the American Cancer Society and the Adopt-A-Highway program. The post was recognized last Monday by former New Braunfels Mayor Paul Fraser at last week's council meeting. Fraser declared May 24 and 25 "VWF Poppy Days" for the City of New Braunfels. The revenue from sales of VWF Buddy Poppies go toward helping needy veterans and their families. Most of the post's revenue comes from Bingo night, which is held every Friday. By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer Dropping spring flows and aquifer levels may trigger stronger water conservation rules within days. The next stage of the Edwards Underground Water District's Demand Management Plan continues to come closer, and local residents are being urged to conserve water. As of Thursday, spring flow at Comal Springs was 177 cubic feet per second, just two cfs above the trigger point for stage III of the DMP, and die spring flow has been dropping more than two cfs most days in recent weeks. The flow is also below the 200 cfs point where the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believe endangered species that depend on the springs begin to being to die. Paula DiFonzo, General Manager of New Braunfels Utilities, said she believes die city will be able to comply with the next stage of the DMP, which calk for 20 percent mandatory reductions, if it is declared. However, she said residents "need to conserve." "The drought is not just ovoc the Edwards Aquifer. The drought is throughout the entire region, and everyone's being impacted We need to conserve as much as possible," she said. San Antonio moved to Stage QI of its drought plan Friday, cutting the number of lawn-sprinkling days by one-fourth.The goals of the city plan are more modest than the goals of the EUWD Stage HI. DiFonzo said "there are hundreds of tips" for water conservation. Some of the mort common ones are: to water plants and yards less frequently but more thoroughly; water in the early morning or late evening to avoid evaporation; let grass grow longer, limit the number of times you wash your car and only do it at places that recycle the water; and cut off faucets when not being used. "We're going to try to put together brochures and fliers with water-saving tips to distribute and put in bills to help remind people to conserve," said DiFonzo. DiFonzo said it is up to the city council to move to the next step in the city's water conservation plan However, she said, due to the dropping levels, she and the city manager will evaluate the situation. As for now, the year-round ordinance remains in place, and New Braunfels residents are being asked to adhere to it to help alleviate the stress being put on the Edwards Aquifer. Under the ordinance, the following guidelines apply: ■ No use of water sprinklers from IO a.m. to 4 p.m. on any calendar day for either private or commercial property. ■ Hand-held hoses (with a manual or automatic shutoff nozzle), buckets, or drip irrigation systems can be used any time. ■ Non-compliance with the ordinance can result in a misdemeanor offense, and upon conviction, a fine of between $50 and $500 can be assessed. ■ Each day's violation constitutes a separate offense. ■ To report violators, call the city hall at (210) 608-2100.

City Manager Mike Shands oversaw the hiring of Bennet, 50, who currently lives in Portland on the northern border of Corpus Christi. "Both my wife and I are very excited about the situation," Bennet said in a telephone interview from Portland. "It's an opportunity I've wanted to do for a long time, There's great growth in New Braunfels and a lot of opportunity as far as planning is concerned." This is the first job as planning director for Bennet, who has worked for the planning department of Colpus Christi and for private engineering firms fix a total of 24 years. Bennet has a wife, Carol, who works as a school counselor, and two children, Rebecca, 21, and Robert, 26. He graduated from Texas A&M University with a bachelor's of Science/Landscape Architecture in 1971 and earned a master's degree in public administration in 1993 from Corpus Christi State University. He was one of 13 statewide applicants for the position. "The combination of experience, education told qualifications made him the top candidate," Shands said. He is scheduled to start June 17 and is looking for a home in the New Braunfels city limits. He said the move to New Braunfels will put him closer to his parents and a sister who live in Schertz and a sister-in-law who lives in San Antonio. The former planning director, Debra Goodwin resigned three weeks ago to move to Reno, Nev. The planning department deals with the administration of subdivision and commercial development, building permits and zoning requests. Aw ' % j HFWW it.'iii Ii ;

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Holds Continued Employment Insufficient to Enforce Non-Compete Covenant
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has held that employers looking to implement non-competition agreements (i.e. restrictive covenants not to compete) with their current employees must provide "new and valuable consideration" to render the agreement enforceable.

Q&A: I'm a young female who suffers from embarrassing halitosis. What can I do?
posted on 10/20/2014
Ask A Doctor Question:
I'm a young educated female who suffers from halitosis which is very embarrassing. I've tried different doctors and breath sprays or mouth wash but nothing works. Please am in desperate need of help to try and get rid of this issue.
It is a shame you have this persistent problem. Halitosis presents from bacterial breakdown products such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) in the mouth. When bacteria remains on the teeth and under the gums, it hardens into calculus (tartar) which produces a bad taste and mouth odor. The treatment is to remove the hard deposits that form above and under the gums, and keep new bacterial deposits from forming by proper brushing, daily flossing and frequent professional dental cleanings. Cavities are formed by bacteria which will also produce halitosis. Some infections of the root canal may also be contributory. Halitosis may also sometimes be caused by post nasal drip from allergies or sinus infection, and it sometimes results from esophageal bacterial growth produced by acid reflux. See your physician for reflux or sinus problems. See your dentist more frequently for cleanings and for diagnosis and treatment of cavities and dental infections. Hope you get relief from your Halitosis by following these guidelines.

Lauri Patterson/Getty Images Food Allergies Allergy Free Recipes Basics Diagnosis Treatment How to Live Well Common Food Allergies Nut Allergies Wheat Allergies Cooking Tips Fish and Shellfish Dairy Allergies Egg-Free Recipes Egg Allergies Food Allergies in Children Food Allergies Reading Labels View All Print By Victoria Groce Updated September 05, 2016 (7 ratings) Total Time 120 min Prep 10 min, Cook 110 min Yield 6-8 svgs. Chicken-Sausage Gumbo My goal with this recipe for Shellfish-Free Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, besides creating a delicious soup that was shellfish-free, was to strike a happy medium between slow-cooked flavor and the hours and hours in the kitchen traditional gumbo recipes often require.Partially cooking bone-in chicken in chicken broth gives you much of the mouth feel and rich flavor of homemade stock with little effort. The roux -- the cooked flour-and-oil mixture that almost all gumbo recipes rely on -- takes about 15 minutes to make (less than many recipes).All of that taken into consideration, this recipe is simple and requires more time than effort. And it's worth it. Serve with white rice.For a gluten-free variation, see the Note after the recipe directions, below. Ingredients 2 pounds bone-in chicken legs or thighs (or a combination) 2 quarts chicken broth or stock 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 medium onion (about 1 cup), diced 1 medium celery rib (about 1/2 cup), diced 6 cloves garlic, minced 1 bell pepper (green or red, about 1/2 cup), diced 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen okra, thawed, or 1/2 pound frozen okra, trimmed and halved Salt and pepper to taste Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional) 2 bay leaves 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 pound (4 links) andouille sausage (or other spicy smoked sausage), cut into small discs Preparation In a saucepan, heat chicken and broth or stock over medium-high heat until boiling. Reduce heat to warm and simmer, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes. (This is an ideal time to chop the vegetables and thaw frozen okra, if using.)About 20 minutes before the stock is done simmering, make the roux by heating oil in the bottom of a large stockpot over medium heat until oil moves freely along the bottom of the pan. Add the flour gradually, stirring with a wooden spoon to remove any lumps. Lower heat slightly and cook roux, stirring constantly, for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mixture is nutty-smelling and copper-brown. Add onions, celery, garlic, bell pepper, and okra. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until vegetables are lightly browned and fragrant. Then lower heat to warm and let vegetables simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. While vegetables simmer, continue to next step.Remove chicken from broth with tongs and cut meat off bones and into bite-sized chunks. (Discard bones at this point.) Add chicken to vegetable-roux mixture and stir to coat with roux. Season with salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring, for another minute or two.Slowly add stock to vegetables and chicken, stirring as you go. Add cayenne (if using), bay leaves, and thyme. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. When soup reaches boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.Add sausage and simmer for 30 minutes more. Taste soup and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately over white rice. Gluten-free variation: To make this recipe gluten-free, use rice flour in place of all-purpose flour for the roux. The roux will still thicken adequately. Rate this Recipe You've already rated this recipe. Thanks for your rating!

Miley Cyrus says Bangerz Tour will be `educational for kids`
Washington: Miley Cyrus has claimed that her Bangerz Tour will be ``educational for kids``.
The popstar hopes that it will inspire her audience to check out some of her favourite artists.
The `Wrecking Ball` singer starts her world tour in Vancouver, Canada, on February 14, and as well as entertaining her fans, wants to teach them a thing or two.
She told MTV that she hopes people open their minds and they look at her tour as something that she does feel is educational for kids.
She explained that unlike a normal pop concert, the show will take place in acts, like a stage play, and feature intermissions, by animator John Kricfalusi, best known for creating the cartoon `Ren and Stimpy`.

My movies are awesome. Packaging was intact & in excellent condition.
All 5 Die Hards for one price is a great deal. Granted the 4 sequels aren't as good as the first, but are still fun to watch. Much better series than the Lethal Weapon movies.
For how much I ended up paying for it my Blu Ray Die Hard Pack was Damaged when I received it and I'm Not happy at all - I should get a full Refund or a FREE Replacement
I Wanted NEW! as I paid for at such a price and I got Damaged - Honestly I'm mad
Not much more to say
If you want JUST the 5 DVDs for a cheap price, then this is perfect. But, if you're giving this as a gift (as I am and am regretting it, but don't have the time to look for another gift) or want to keep as a collector's item, then do not buy this box set. It's not flashy or anything special, but it serves it's purpose.
Well let me state My son and i just watched Die Hard number 5 of the set and it was awesome total action from start to finish . The reason my son got this for me was a earley fathers day gift and i love it. We had seen all the Die Hard movies but only owned 2 so by getting this package with all Five and in blue Ray couldn't pass it by . so for little more then twenty dollars we got the other FOUR movies and again all in blue ray. So this is one happy Pops. the packageing could have been better and maybe a booklet in the box for reading things but other then that no bad comments.
The movies are good, some great, but the packaging is bad. The discs either get stuck and are hard to remove or they get loose and slide around. Some discs were already scratched the first time out.
Came in a envelope mailer. Of course box is beat up. . I even had to use scotch tape to get it somewhat back together. . Last rime I buy a Fox set.
My husband and I both really enjoy these movies. I was disappointed that I had paid for expedited shipping and it still took 4 days. The packaging around the set was also smashed.
I will not watch any of these again because the subtitles on the blue rays would not turn off,only blue rays that have this problem.
My husband is a Bruce Willis & Die Hard fan, so this a great gift with all 5 diehard movies in convenient package.
Great collection - Bruce Willis and movies only got better and better. Great price for BlueRay !
Love these movies.....best way to watch them on Blu-Ray.

Modifying the color and look of a checklist (not widget)Asked by montsho on August 10, 2015 at 03:50 AM
Hey there amazing Jotform support! I promise I searched high and low and could not find the answer to this question.
I want my form check boxes to all LOOK THE SAME. It's my understanding I CAN NOT change the look of a checklist widget with CSS. I'm trying to change the default checklist (not a widget) so that the actual check box is a white square box. I was able to change the box to a flat box with the designer BUT the box in the designer is rounded and grey. Can I change the box to white and completely square? If so, how? I could not figure out the CSS.
I have tried accessing the form but it seems you have deleted it, please let us know if you still need some help with the check-boxes.
Meanwhile you can review this resource regarding styling of check-boxes using CSS

Hey! My form is NOT deleted. Not sure why that's what you saw. Here's the link:
I'm attaching an image of what I would like the checkboxes to look like. (#5)
I'm not sure what is going on with the forum. I have to post 2 and three times bc it's not taking my posts on the 1st time. It's also marking my replies as private and they ARE NOT MEANT TO BE PRIVATE. AND the image uploader is not working. I tried it several times, in different browsers and rebooted my computer. See screenshot.
(Private)Answered by Sammy on August 10, 2015 at 12:56 PM
I'm able to access the form now, kindly paste the code in this pastiebin site
Unfortunately for the coupon input it is contained in an iframe which does not allow direct modification using custom CSS code so that portion will remain with the default look.
By default when posting a thread to an already private thread it will be marked as private since the main thread is already set to private, this option is available when you are creating a new thread
A private thread is viewable only by the poster and the support team
And again the forum form is NOT working. This is what I see when I try to respond to your replies. There is nothing that says make my ANSWER private. It just says post answer. But my responses are being posted private. All I can figure is that since I COULD NOT UPLOAD MY IMAGE BC YOUR IMAGE UPLOADER IS NOT WORKING, your form made my answer private bc my image is "private" on Facebook.
I'm going to attach the image separately bc the IMAGE UPLOADER IS STILL NOT WORKING. UUUUUUuuuuggghhh...Cmon Jotform.
This is what I see when I post an answer:
Now on to my question. PASTE WHAT CODE?
I want my form check boxes to all LOOK THE SAME. It's my understanding I CAN NOT change the look of a checklist widget with CSS. I'm trying to change the default checklist (not a widget) so that the actual check box is a white square box. I was able to change the box to a flat box with the designer BUT the box in the designer is rounded and grey. Can I change the box to white and completely square? If so, how? I could not figure out the CSS.
I am asking about the DEFAULT CHECKLIST TOOL.
Also, my original post was not marked private.
JotForm Support
Inject the following custom CSS codes to your form:
.form-checkbox-item:not(#foo) label:before {
border: 2px solid #F8F9FF !important;
border-radius: 0px !important;
#coupon-container {
border-radius: 0px !important;
border: 1px solid #fff !important;
#coupon-input {
background-color: transparent !important;
color: #fff !important;
padding: 2px !important;
border: 1px solid #fff !important;
#coupon-button {
background-color: #ebc52a !important;
border: 1px solid #ebc52a !important;
color: #fff !important;
padding-bottom: 2px !important;
padding-top: 2px !important;
The style output should be like this: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/52215956290962 (Cloned version of your form).
Here's how to add: http://www.jotform.com/help/117-How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes. Please add the codes at the bottom part.
AND BOOM! Worked like a charm. #happydance
So appreciate your amazing commitment to customer service JOTFORM TEAM.
Not to be unappreciative but can you guys fix the image uploader issue please??? I use this forum and it's a life saver. I want others to be able to see my questions answered so they can get the same help if needed.

SESSION TYPE: Airway Cases I
PRESENTED ON: Monday, October 22, 2012 at 01:45 PM - 03:00 PM
INTRODUCTION: Anatomic airway anomalies should be considered in all children with persistent or recurrent wheezing which is unresponsive or poorly responsive to bronchodilators.
CASE PRESENTATION: Our patient has a history of chronic cough with wheezing since infancy with exacerbations triggered by both upper respiratory tract infections and exertion. Chart review showed recurrent episodes of wheezing on exam interspersed with normal chest exams. The working diagnosis was asthma. She came to our attention at age 12 years on a regimen of Serevent/Fluticasone 250/50, Montelukast and used Albuterol for rescue. On this regimen she still required multiple steroid bursts but because of variable compliance no further workup was done beyond an allergy evaluation which indicated seasonal nasal allergies. Chest radiographs were normal. Spirometry showed expiratory flow limitation and persistent flattening of the proximal portion of the flow-volume loop. During the subsequent 5 years her clinical course was essentially unchanged. At bronchoscopy the following images were taken: Image 1: complete tracheal rings; Image 2: tracheal bronchus Definitive Treatment: A slide tracheoplasty was performed. At five years post tracheoplasty follow up our patient is doing well with minimal exercise related symptoms.
DISCUSSION: Complete tracheal rings are rare and consist of absence of the posterior membranous portion of the trachea. Findings may be limited to a single segment of the trachea, multiple segments or may involve the entire trachea. Typical presentation occurs in the first year of life and is frequently associated with other malformations, particularly cardiac in origin. Symptoms may include dyspnea or stridor that is exacerbated with upper respiratory tract infections or physical exertion. Computerized tomography of the chest and bronchoscopy are used to define the extent of the lesion, identify other lesions and help to plan for definitive care. Tracheoplasty of stenotic segments is often helpful.
CONCLUSIONS: Our case is unusual because of the age at diagnosis,which more commonly occurs in the first few years of life.

New York City Ballet Mini Troupe Sparks Union Action
The union representing New York City Ballet dancers said today it filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board.
The filing by the American Guild of Musical Artists concerns a small ensemble -- New York City Ballet Moves -- that the dancers say was created without consulting the union. AGMA said its expired contract required union approval of any concerts that don't include the entire troupe.
Alan Gordon, executive director of the union, said although the contract expired in July its provisions remain in effect. He described talks for a new deal as "contentious."
"We're in the middle of negotiating with them," he said in an interview. "They're stonewalling the dancers in refusing to consider a wage increase. We're not going to do anything that benefits the company until the company responds to the dancers' concerns."
Ballet Master in Chief Peter Martins was en route home from Denmark. A spokesman, Rob Daniels, said the ballet told the union of its plans.
"We hope that the union will not stand in the way of additional work opportunities for its members," Daniels said.
Top Salaries
The union said it requested help with contract talks from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, which mediates labor disputes.
The ballet's operating revenue fell 5 percent in the year ending June 2009, led by a drop in ticket sales and the endowment, according to its last annual report posted on the Internet. The operating deficit quadrupled to $4.8 million.
Martins earned $723,000 in salary and benefits in 2008, according to its latest tax return posted on Guidestar.org.
Dancers' weekly minimum compensation ranges from $1,015 a week for members of the corps de ballet to $2,341 for principals, excluding extras such as overtime, according to their contract on the union's website. Pay hasn't changed since 2009.
Gordon said management proposed another wage freeze without agreeing to freeze Martins's pay or that of other staffers.
"If anyone is going to get a wage increase it should be the dancers," Gordon said. "Without the dancers, it's just a philharmonic orchestra."
Work Rules
Gordon added that the ballet has resisted the union's request for new work rules, such as giving dancers more notice about casting and increased rehearsal time.
"The company respects them as dancers but it doesn't respect them as employees," Gordon said. "The culture of ballet is to treat dancers as kids."
The creation of New York City Moves was announced last week. It is scheduled to make its debut this summer, with principals, soloists and members of the corps.
