Eating and drinking have always gone together, like rock and roll, yin and yang, and bald eagle hatchlings and William Howard Taft's toupee. Introduce your mouth to a dazzling duet with today's Groupon to Mogan's Cafe in Pacific Palisades. Choose between the following options:
- For $22, you get $44 worth of gourmet American fare for dinner.
- For $10, you get $20 worth of gourmet American fare for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.<p>
Mogan's serves fresh salads, gourmet burgers, and a host of hearty chicken entrees in its art-nouveau-adorned dining room and on its bright, leafy patio. For dinner, gain foodly wisdom with sage chicken ($18.99) or occupy idle hands with the Cajun stir-fry, whose stage of brown rice supports a spicy ensemble of garlic cream, cilantro, bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions green and red ($13.99). Mogan's lengthy breakfast/lunch menu, which, like the sun, is available throughout the day, entices taste buds with the sweet and savory notes of omelets, frittatas, and paninis. Early birds can pack gullets full of Nutty Nana pancakes—a tower of four pan-cooked cakes trembling under the weight of bananas and walnuts ($12.99)—and lunchers can enjoy bites of the grilled chicken and goat cheese panini, a concoction that includes multigrain bread, sundried tomato pesto, and roasted peppers ($11.95).
While enjoying a hearty meal in Mogan's cozy café, snag some free WiFi or sip on a flavorful beverage, such as the Redeye, an espresso-fortified coffee ($3.25+). After polishing off their eats, guests can wander over to the ocean, which is conveniently located right where all the dry land ends about a mile away.

Steve Harvey Gives The Perfect Explanation On Love That EVERYONE Should Hear
Steve Harvey always has pearls of wisdom to share, but how he explains the way love is shown really puts things into perspective for me.
The feminist movement around the country would have you think that being referred to as someone's "wife" is derogatory, but what Steve Harvey just shared may have you singing a different tune.
During a segment of his show Steve discussed how men and women show love differently, and after Steve's explanation, it's easier to decipher certain behaviors.
Since the dawn of time man has been different from woman. That's just science, folks, but aside from our physical differences there are also psychological differences as well.
During his show, Steve does an excellent job of explaining how men show love to the women in their lives, and he makes an awful lot of sense. Never have I seen someone so easily explain how men love in contrast to the way women do it.
According to Harvey, men show their love in three ways: Profess, provide, and protect. When a man loves a woman he will profess it by using terms like "wife" or "girlfriend" when referring to their significant other. This isn't a man saying that he owns his partner, but rather the man cares so much that the woman has earned a title. In essence, it's a man's way of making sure others know their partners are important to them.
When a man loves a woman, according to Steve, he will do everything he can to provide for her. A man doesn't want to see those he loves struggle, or suffer, so providing gives them a chance to show love.
Finally, Steve says that a man will show love through how he protects his woman. Keeping your loved ones safe is, at least to Steve, the most important thing that a man can provide his spouse and family.
Take a look at the segment for yourself, and see if you agree with what Steve says. This is definitely useful for people who are in new relationships, and having a tough time knowing "what's going on in their head" when dealing with significant others:
Every single person is different, but we share a lot of similarities, and Steve is just pointing out traits that occur naturally. Sure, some men are more sensitive, or better at fixing appliances, but in the end a man wants to make sure his woman is taken care of, safe, and feels loved.
Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to break down love for us! Hopefully this will only alow us to love even better than before!

Here is what the Earth looks like during a solar eclipse. The shadow of the Moon can be seen darkening part of Earth. This shadow moved across the Earth at nearly 2000 kilometers per hour. Only observers near the center of the dark circle see a total solar eclipse - others see a partial eclipse where only part of the Sun appears blocked by the Moon. This spectacular picture of the 1999 August 11 solar eclipse was one of the last ever taken from the Mir space station. The two bright spots that appear on the upper left are thought to be Jupiter and Saturn.

As the slow-moving lava got closer to the Pahoa Japanese Cemetery, officials provided Aiko Sato an opportunity to visit. When she placed flowers at the headstone last week, she thought it would be the last time she would see it. But after lava flowed over the cemetery, Sato's aunt was given a photograph taken by a geologist documenting the lava's advancement, showing the Sato headstone still standing in a sea of black lava.

Traveller Security Assistance Service On Show At ASIS International
Anvil Group
: 12 July, 2010
(Company News)
Anvil Group is attending this year's ASIS International event with the company's assistance services for the security of travellers
The Anvil Group will be exhibiting at this year's ASIS International, 12th-14th October in Dallas, Texas. Located on stand 4237, The Anvil Group will be showcasing its Medical and Security Assistance Services along with its Travel Risk Intelligence Service (TRIS) and Employee Travel Monitoring System (ETMS).
ASIS International is the preeminent organization for security professionals. Founded in 1955 and with over 37,000 members worldwide, ASIS is dedicated to increasing the effectiveness and productivity of security professionals, and represents the interests of the security management profession to business, the media, government entities and the public. The 56th annual seminar and exhibition in Dallas is the world's most comprehensive educational and networking event in the security industry.
Visitors to the stand can expect to receive a comprehensive demonstration of The Anvil Group's TRIS and ETMS systems, both designed as
Risk Management
solutions that enable corporations to fully comply with duty of care obligations, whilst providing the means to react in a proactive manner to emerging or active security threats.
TRIS is a highly accessible and secure web based application that uses leading edge technology to monitor and then immediately alert subscribers to international incidents and potential threats that could affect business travel plans. TRIS also offers a wealth of essential travel information consolidated into one central resource, which assists with the monitoring and management of global travel safety policies, the compilation of risk assessments and security briefings.
ETMS is a traveller tracking system that delivers instant reporting of information, such as who is in a particular city, hotel or on a specific flight for use in emergencies or to pre-warn travellers of incidents that could impact their travel plans.
In addition, The Anvil Group has recently launched a one-call, comprehensive traveller assistance service, known as ANVIL ASSIST, capable of embracing any medical or security event that could affect a corporate traveller or expatriate. Highly trained case handlers are on standby 24/7 to assist travellers who have become victims of crime, caught up in riots or terrorist incidents, or who require urgent medical treatment.
"We are delighted to be supporting our operations centre in North America again this year at ASIS International, as last year we enjoyed a very busy and productive event," said Matthew Judge, Managing Director of The Anvil Group.
"Our traveller tracking and intelligence applications have been an enormous success and are currently utilised by some of the world's largest corporations. Now with the launch of the medical and security assistance service, The Anvil Group is able to offer our clients the full scope of Travel
Risk Management
services from a single source. A consolidation of these services benefits our clients, as a fluent and joined-up approach produces better cohesion in the way those services are delivered. This results in a better experience for a corporation's employees and efficiency in cost and management time."

When it comes to one of the industry's wildest aftermarket extravaganzas, the 2015 Honda Fit is go: Honda will highlight the all-new Fit as part of a special program leading up to the 2014 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show, which is scheduled for Nov. 4, 2014, in Las Vegas.
The automaker recently kicked off the initiative by announcing the six different teams that are part of the project, including Bisimoto Engineering, Kontrabrands, MAD Industries, Spoon Sports USA, Tjin Edition and Kenny Vinces. Each will work their magic on a 2015 Honda Fit, deploying their own vision of style and performance and relying on Honda enthusiasts to be the ultimate judges of their success. Thus, while all six modified 2015 Honda Fits will be shown at SEMA come this fall, just one, chosen based on social-media input across the Honda Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter accounts, will earn a special award from the automaker.

Form column using source codes and form designerAsked by wakinggirl on January 07, 2015 at 09:09 PM
but let's hit another issue while we're here (or feel free to open in new thread):
scroll to the bottom of:
the great thing about Jotform was that i could embed a form into a Weebly column with ease. with the DP, the forms want to stretch across the whole page.
i can't easily next a DP form into a column.
what am i missing?
JotForm Support
Hello wakinggirl,
I am not sure if I have understood your requirement correctly. Do you mean to say that the form fields are stretched to the full width of page.
The width of your form seems to be small. I did check your web page and the form appears correctly. Please check the screenshot below:
I would suggest you to please explain your question a bit more in detail and we will surely help you. You may also like to share a screenshot of the problem as well which will help us understand the issue. The following guide should help you upload image in your forum post: https://www.jotform.com/answers/277033
We will wait for your response.
Thank you!
i'm talking about the padding around the form.
JotForm Support
Hello cristinaperez,
Do you want to display form in your web page something as displayed in screenshot below:
If yes then reducing the form width should solve your problem or you can also inject the following custom css code in your form:
.form-all {
width: 90%;
You may also have to reduce the width of your "Checklist" widget as well to "300". Please take a look at the following cloned form and see if this works okay on your web page: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/50085159930961?
The above changes should display your form as in the screenshot below:
Hope this helps.
Thank you!

Out of control teen thug sentenced for crime spree
A THEN 14-year-old boy, who mugged another teenager at knife-point during a crime spree, has been given a three-month custodial sentence by Judge John O'Connor at the Dublin Children's Court.
Judge O'Connor, who had described the boy as as "like something out of film", said detention must be used as a last resort but added, "there comes a time when there is no alternative".
In another incident the youth walked into a Dublin 8 pub and tried to walk out again with its television before he was stopped by the manager. Judge O'Connor said "it is like something out of a film, it's outrageous stuff".
The judge said the repeat teen offender, who would not engage with the Probation Service, was abusing cannabis and tablets and had shown no clear desire to change his behaviour.
The boy, now aged 15, pleaded guilty to a litany of charges for robbery, attempted theft, criminal damage, theft, possession of cannabis, failing to turn up for a court hearing.
In addition to the custodial sentence, Judge O'Connor ordered that the boy, who was accompanied to court by his mother and his solicitor, would remain on supervised probation for three months after he gets released.
He had just completed serving a sentence imposed in November for car theft and was in custody on remand pending his sentence hearing today.
He spoke briefly to tell the court when his last term in custody had ended.
Reacting to the sentence, the boy's mother wept as she told the court: "the kids were looking forward to him coming home this morning".
The court heard that on September 24th last, the teenager mugged a 15-year-old boy in Inchicore in Dublin.
Garda Paul Geraghty said the boy, who was known the victim "produced a knife" and took a phone worth €600 from the youth.
On October 23rd last he entered the Black Lion pub and "took a TV from a wall as he was walking out and the manager stopped him".
The teen stole groceries worth €32 over two successive dates in October.
He was caught possessing cannabis worth €10 on another date in the same month.
He stole a bicycle worth €350 from outside a petrol station on September 23rd last year.
On date last July he broke a window at a flat in his locality.
The court heard that he had shown disregard for bail conditions and the judge had commented that the teenager had been "completely and utterly out of control" and this included his demeanour in court on previous occasions.
The defence said the boy "wants to make a fresh start" and has shown genuine remorse for his actions.
The boy, who once stole a car and wrote it off in a crash, also has previous convictions for trespassing, threatening to cause criminal damage and other theft offences going back to 2014.
At one previous court hearing the boy, who had repeatedly broken bail conditions, had refused to take down his hood despite being asked by the judge and his mother to do as he was told.
"Yeah? F**k it, f**k you," the boy had shouted along with, "I'm leaving the hood up, don't get me started".
"Sentence me, I don't care, I don't give a f**k any more, this is b******s that's what it is," he had said.
When further warned by the judge, the teenager had shouted: "I don't give a f**king b*****s, give me two years if you want".

This didn't surprise me too much at first. In the book, all the times Edward and Bella were about to do it, the book would just skip to afterward. I mean, I didn't want to read about them having sex in extreme detail or anything, but skipping the whole thing is pretty lame. So I assumed that the article I read meant that the movie would actually show all the times they had sex, but that's not what they meant. Apparently Edward and Bella aren't the only couples who'll be having sex in the movie.
Who else is there? Seriously. They were the only couple who even had the time to "get it on" in the book. No one else did. How the heck is the movie gonna pull that off? I was already not looking forward to watching Edward and Bella have sex, but now I have to worry about other people too? AAAAHH!! X(

Bonneville Shoreline Trail (Provo City) is a 15.2 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Provo, Utah that offers scenic views and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
mountain biking
trail running
Great for trail running.
The trail is not too uphill and is balanced so biking is good even for someone who hasn't done it before. However the address on this app is not how to get to the trail. The trailhead is right under the Y on the mountain.
Super easy trail with a pretty view.
Not a bad trail. Just keep your head up and look out for bikes.
It's a really easy mountain bike/trail run that's close by if you don't have as much time to get up higher.
This is an excellent, well maintained trail that is perfect for a trail run, biking practice/condition, or just going for a walk with the dog. It sits above the skyline, and you get impressive views of everything in the Utah Valley, without having to summit a mountain. This is one you'll want to keep doing over an over again, because it's so close, relatively easy, and is easy on the eyes. Be careful doing this one during the heat of the day during the summer. Bring water, as it will be hot, exposed, and you can only fill up at trailheads.
A very easy and flat trail above the city skyline. Nice view and great for a family hike, but not especially adventurous.

See Figures 1, 2 and 3
Always check the engine oil with the engine warm. Check the engine oil at least once a week.
With the vehicle on a level surface, allow the engine to sit at least three to five minutes after it has been shut off before checking the oil level; this will give the oil that has been circulating through the engine a chance to drip back down into the oil pan. Locate the engine dipstick: it is usually located on the left side of the engine. On the V6 engines (B28 and 280 family) the dipstick is on the right side of the motor, just forward of the right side shock tower.
Remove the dipstick and clean the oil off the end with a rag. Insert the dipstick again, wait a few seconds and pull it out. The oil level should be within the cross-hatched section of the dipstick. Oil level should never drop below or rise above the cross-hatched marks. If the oil level is below or near the bottom of the cross-hatched marks, add oil of the same type and viscosity, a little at a time, until the oil level is brought back within normal operating range.
See Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10
Certain operating conditions may warrant more frequent changes. If the vehicle is used for short trips, water condensation and low-temperature deposits may make it necessary to change the oil sooner. If the vehicle is used mostly in stop-and-go city traffic, corrosive acids and high-temperature deposits may necessitate shorter oil changing intervals. The shorter intervals are also true for industrial or rural areas where high concentrations of dust contaminate the oil. Cars used for carrying heavy loads, pulling trailers, or in mountainous areas may also need more frequent oil and filter changes.
Change the engine oil and filter according to the maintenance intervals chart in this section.
After the engine has reached operating temperature, shut it off, place a drip pan under the sump (oil pan), and remove the drain plug. Allow the engine to drain thoroughly before replacing the plug. Make certain the drain plug is in place and tightened before continuing. Place the drip pan beneath the oil filter. To remove the filter, turn it counterclockwise with a strap wrench.
If necessary, brush away any accumulated dirt from the drain plug bolt prior to removing it.
Wipe the contact surface of the new filter clean of all dirt and coat the rubber gasket with clean engine oil. Also wipe clean the adaptor on the block. To install, hand-turn the new filter clockwise until the gasket just contacts the cylinder block. Do not use a strap wrench to install. Then hand-turn the filter 1 / 2 additional turn.
Volvo recommends replacing the oil filter at every oil change.
Unscrew the filler cap on the valve cover and fill the crankcase to the proper level on the dipstick with the recommended grade of oil. Replace the cap, start the engine, and operate at fast idle. Check the oil filter contact area and the drain plug for leaks and attend to any leaks as necessary.
Please dispose of used motor oil properly. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground. Take it to your dealer, local service station or other oil recycling location.

North American stocks ended the second quarter on a down-note, closing on Tuesday with substantial losses for the day after a disappointing reading on U.S. consumer confidence - but at least the quarter looked good.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed at 8447.0, down 82.38 points, or 1 per cent. The broader S&P 500 closed at 919.32, down 7.91 points, or 0.9 per cent. The index had been down as much as 1.6 per cent earlier in the day, but recovered some ground in late trading.
For the second quarter, the S&P 500 turned in a 15.2 per cent gain - astonishingly, its first positive quarter in two years, according to Reuters, and its best quarterly performance since 2003.
All 10 subindexes in the S&P 500 rose during the quarter. Financials led the way, rising 35.1 per cent as investors bet that the worst of the financial crisis was over. Information technology stocks, considered a good bet if there is an economic recovery, surged 19.4 per cent. Reflecting similar views on an economic recovery, industrials rose 18 per cent and consumer discretionary stocks rose 17.7 per cent.
Telecom services stocks were the worst performers, rising a mere 1.9 per cent. Defensive stocks also tended to lag the broader market, with health care stocks rising just 8.3 per cent, utilities rising 8.8 per cent and consumer staples rising 8.9 per cent.
In Canada, the S&P/TSX composite index closed on Tuesday at 10,374.91, down 101.86 points, or 1 per cent. For the second quarter, though, it rose 19 per cent.
Despite the impressive gains, there was a wide gap between the leading subindexes and the laggards. Information technology stocks - a group dominated by Research In Motion Ltd. - were the clear favourites, rising 43.3 per cent. Financials rose 32.7 per cent and energy stocks rose 20.6 per cent.
Among the laggards, telecom services fell 2.2 per cent and materials rose just 4 per cent - reflecting a bumpy road for gold producers and fertilizer companies.
The Toronto Stock Exchange is closed on Wednesday, but U.S. markets are open until Thursday.Report Typo/Error

Day 14,933
Missed another couple days. Oh well.
I think someday I'd like to learn to fly. You know, like a little Cesna, VW in the sky. My father is a private pilot and used to shuttle us around in a Piper. Up to Rochester to pick apples, or just around Montgomery County for a few hours of fun.
A few times he let me take the controls. It wasn't hard. Just turn left to go left, right to go right, pull back to go up, let go to fly straight. I wasn't really flying, just being flown.
So someday, I think it would be fun, to climb back in, put on the headphones, and ferry myself around the countryside for an afternoon.

Watch a Lifelike Robot with Personality Have Conversation with Her Creator
While Nadine may look like an ordinary and friendly woman, who looks you in the eye, shakes your hand and even remembers past conversations, she's actually a robot.
The realistic looking robot is remarkably different from conventional ones. Nadine can greet you, remember your name and has a personality. She also has moods and emotions when reacting to a conversation topic.
Nadine was invented by scientists at The Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. She made to be a doppelganger of her creator, Professor Nadia Thalmann. Nadine works by using intelligent software, similar to Apple's Siri.
The social robot can be used as an assistant in offices or at home where she can be a social companion for the young or elderly.
"As countries worldwide face challenges of an aging population, social robots can be one solution to address the shrinking workforce, become personal companions for children and the elderly at home, and even serve as a platform for healthcare services in future," Thalmann said.
The Nanyang Technological University said it hopes that with further scientific progress in robotics, robots like Nadine will become regularly visible in offices and homes in the future.

Telco customers face 'information overload'
- Consumers looking for broadband are overwhelmed by information
- Staying put with current ISP seen as easiest option
- Better information needed to help consumers choose an ISP
Customers looking for telecommunications services are suffering from "information overload" according to a study.
The report, funded by Deakin University and Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN), found some consumers were so overwhelmed with decisions, they were relying solely on the recommendation of the salesperson or friends to avoid having to compare plans.
In some cases, consumers reported there was so much information from telcos it was just easier to stay with their current provider than switch.
Deakin University's consumer behaviour expert, Dr Paul Harrison, carried out the study. Too much information will not increase understanding, Dr Harrison found, and can increase confusion instead. Unit pricing - breaking down the cost of a plan into units for easier comparison - was not found to be very successful in helping consumers decide between providers.
"Better – not more – information for customers is needed," Dr Harrison said as he presented the report at the ACCAN National Conference.
The report recommended less jargon, encouraging the use of comparison websites and further education for consumers on how to compare plans.
Scott Kennedy, General Manager of broadband comparison site Compare Broadband, said: "We provide the exact service Paul Harrison refers to and it is free. Even without 'unit pricing' we can guide the consumer to the right plan for their needs."
Comparison sites can offer independent, straightforward advice and enable consumers to compare plans for themselves. Customers with questions can call up and have the jargon explained by someone who is not trying to 'hard sell' a product at the same time.
The report also calls for an acknowledgement from policymakers that telecommunications are an essential utility, playing a central role in people's lives and involving a significant financial commitment and stronger consumer protections.
The important information needed by consumers includes network coverage, contract termination fees and cooling off periods, the report advised.

Five things to know about the Sochi Olympics today
Fast five, Thursday edition: Things you'll want to know about the 2014 Winter Olympics. WTHR's crew is already in Sochi, Russia and they'll have reports for you on Sunrise, noon, 5/6/11 pm on Eyewitness News throughout the games. Be sure to watch our Olympic Zone show at 7:30 pm weeknights, 8:00 pm Saturday for an inside look!
1. NBC will be live streaming figure skating from 10:30 am to 1:55 pm - Men's short program: Jeremy Abbott, Pairs short program: Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir
Marquee event of the first day of competition featuring Patrick Chan and Yuzuru Hanyu. The top 5 out of 10 teams after the women's and ice dance short programs will advance to compete in the long programs.
Click to watch the live stream (between 10:30 am and 1:55 pm EST)
2. SECURITY: It's foremost on many minds as Olympic competition begins and thousands stream into the Black Sea resort city. The Russian government says it's doing all it can to ensure safety, and on Thursday a deputy prime minister went even further. "We can guarantee the safety of the people as well as any other government hosting a mass event," said Dmitry Kozak.
3. TOOTHPASTE: It's the latest item to fall under scrutiny after the U.S. Homeland Security Department warned airlines flying to Russia that terrorists might try to smuggle explosives on board hidden in toothpaste tubes. The threat was passed onto airlines that have direct flights to Russia, including some that originate in the United States, a law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press.
4. SNOWBOARDING: It begins, but without marquee name Shaun White, the world's most famous snowboarder. He pulled out of slopestyle, a new Olympic event, to concentrate on the halfpipe, where he'll have a chance to win his third straight title next week. After practice slopestyle runs, White said: "The potential risk of injury is a bit too much for me to gamble my other Olympics goals on."
5. OPENING CEREMONY APPROACHES: Friday night's opening ceremony will showcase Russia to the world on its own terms - a storyline intended to impress the many nations in attendance and allow President Vladimir Putin to put forth the message he's been trumpeting for months now: that his country has successfully combined its storied history with modern innovation and is ready for anything. The intended audience is as much Russians as it is the rest of the world.

I got plenty of responses the last time I posted this article, but would like to get some new light and ideas on it. I am reposting to see if some fresh faces would like to comment and add their 2 cents. Thx
I think the smoke monster being explained is the biggest key to the whole Island mystery and LOST show in general. Dismissing everything else as explainable by science I can agree with but an entity that has thought and can kill in the form of smoke cannot be from this realm and must be an unnatural phenomenon. If not a Genie, I just want to hear other ideas and possible theories. I don't mind mine being debunked unless another idea is not proposed in its place in your post. I have read ideas on everything within the show and many of them you can make a great case for but the smoke monster just does not fit with anything yet that I have seen or read. I would greatly appreciate your comments on this subject. It is the biggest mystery of the show to me.
unrelated: Thought for a new theory - The Island has a Hadron Collider\Atom Smasher below ground and is causing black holes and time fluctuations! whew, my brain hurts.

We're not sure how many Fiat 500e electric vehicles have been sold since its April launch in the US. We just hear they're not selling any more in California this year.
Fiat 500 Cattiva on the way

While its dealer body has been clamoring for new and larger models, Fiat has actually done a pretty good trade selling all manner of 500 variants, from the standard hatchback and 500C cabriolet to its Abarth models, 500e electric runabout and special editions like the Gucci.

Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.

Guest blogger Claude Skelton on editorial illustration
My long-time friend and Baltimore colleague Claude Skelton has written some of the most-read blog posts in UMagazinology's brief lifespan. Today he offers some thoughts on illustration.
A good illustration can do what a photograph can't. For communicating difficult and abstract concepts, drawn art says more with a single image than a collection of photographs can. Illustration can be technical, serious, quirky, or silly, depending on the tone of the piece. A really good conceptual illustrator can interpret a story in ways that surprise and delight, and in the best cases, introduce a whole new spin. Take a look at these Bloomberg Businessweek covers, for example. Could a photograph demand as much immediate attention or communicate so effectively? Not likely. [Throughout the post, you can click on the images to view them larger.]
Bloomberg Businessweek cover credits: Bernanke: David Parkins (after Milton Glaser); King of Vegas Real Estate Scams: Barry Falls; Coke in Africa: Nick White; Crisis in Japan: Noma Barr; creative director: Richard Turley.
So how do you find and work with illustrators to get innovative, thoughtful results? First, familiarize yourself with the talent that's out there. Look for great work. Don't limit yourself to local or regional illustrators (another advantage of illustration is that artists don't need to be on location; almost all work electronically). Use the best, most professional illustrators you can afford. Amateur or mediocre illustration reflects badly on your magazine and ultimately on your institution. Look at sites such as drawger.com, illoz.com, picturemechanics.com, or theispot.com, all of which can connect you to individual artists or artist's reps. Another approach is to notice illustrations that grab your attention in publications you read; start a reference file with names and samples as you find art that impresses you.
As you plan a story lineup, consider illustration as part of the mix. If you're profiling a professor or an alum, the natural default solution is to commission a photograph. An illustrated portrait, like this drawing of a disabled war veteran from Dartmouth Magazine, can add style and substance to an otherwise run-of-the-mill profile. If the work or activity of the profiled person is more to the point, illustrating that idea or topic is an effective approach. The full page image below, from Cambridge Alumni Magazine, illustrates a complex essay by a neuroscientist on movement and the brain—a far more intriguing and informative solution than a portrait of the author.
Illustration and text combine in a pop-inspired spread (above) by Design Army, Washington DC, from Kogod Now, the American University Kogod School of Business' magazine. The article, on targeted food marketing to minority populations, is original, eye-catching, and unexpected in the context of a business school publication.
When you're ready to choose an illustrator, think about the tone and emotion you want the story to communicate and find illustrators whose styles best fit what's in your mind. You'll need to be confident of the illustrator's track record and ability to translate an idea into art. And you'll need to sell a working concept, knowing that the illustrator will be bringing additional thinking and visual interpretation to the table.
This is a very subjective process and should never be attempted by committee. It's a matter of trust—between publisher and editor, between editor and creative director, between creative director and artist. If approval from "above" is necessary before hiring an illustrator, you'll be forced to justify your choice with nothing more than your idea and samples from the artist's portfolio. It could be hard for an administrator to visualize the outcome, therefore the need for trust.
Art directors: it's usually best to communicate a general concept and supply a draft of the story to illustrators, then wait and see what they come up with before making suggestions or over-directing. It's your job to inspire creativity, not solve the problem. Trust your illustrator to find a solution that fits the assignment and suits his or her style. It rarely works to force a pre-conceived vision on an artist; be open to surprise and innovation and you'll almost always get the best results.
A word on stock illustration: it is a less expensive alternative, but generally too generic to properly illustrate a feature story. Spots can liven up a news or class notes section, and stock can be a good substitute for those bland head shots that show up in faculty or alumni profiles—better to illustrate what they do (with symbol or icon) rather than what they look like (do readers care?). If stock isn't available, original illustration can be cost effective for simple spots, drawing attention to complex, text-heavy pages (see news spread from Auburn Magazine, above).
Illustrated covers can be both challenging and satisfying. You have two big challenges: Finding the right artist for the job, and getting approval of concept, style, and budget. Then it's working with the illustrator through sketches, revised sketches, more approvals, adjusted deadlines, and the holding of breath before the final artwork arrives. It's the rare (and lucky) editorial staff or art director that has enough autonomy to move ahead through this process with no roadblocks. It's the not knowing until it's finished that can make you uneasy. What if it's a disaster? What if readers are offended and cancel subscriptions? What if it's just not quite what you had in mind? What if you hate it? These are the questions and fears that might keep you from taking a risk in the first place. But when that finished, original art finally appears, and your cover sings, it's so worth it.
To illustrate my point, a few covers that sing (all very different tunes):

Hello circlefriends,
VR has a weird navigation for User Interface which may look like it's not syncing submissions to VR. This usually happens when you have used "All Contacts" as your list for receiving contacts from JotForm, instead of having it on a custom made list.
If you you have selected the list of your submissions to land in "All contacts", create a custom list in your VR account so it will have a list of lists. Next, click All Contacts to see the contacts you have received from your JotForm-VR integration.
Note: Please also be sure to not delete your existing list in your VR account. Otherwise, that's one of the factors to why the submission will fail.
If you have further questions, please let us know.

General DeWitt Spain Airport (M01) in Memphis, Tenn., has been closed since May 4 by the epic flooding of the Mississippi River. Home to more than 70 aircraft (including several turboprops), the general aviation airport was under as much as 12 feet of water, according to a Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority spokesman. In 1987 the authority built a levee to protect the airport from the nearby river. Another secondary levee was erected before the flood to provide further protection for the airport. While the near-historic flood level reached last month breached the levees, and caused a break in a nearby major water main, the airport authority had time to alert aircraft owners. "We had made notice to all the tenants," said the spokesperson. "Everything that was flyable flew out." Several other aircraft were towed away before the floodwaters swamped the property. A survey of damage to the airport infrastructure, including hangars, lights and the authority-run FBO, was to be performed when the flood waters receded, and the airport remained closed as of press time. Operations at the authority's two other facilities, Memphis International and Charles W. Baker Airport, were unaffected by the flooding.

Emteq is a lighting specialist, but don't call it "Emteq Light." The New Berlin, Wis.-based systems integrator and FAA certification specialist is becoming a major player. Most recently it reached an agreement for the purchase of airborne lighting systems specialist Flight Components AG of Bachenbulach, Switzerland. The acquisition means Emteq will now offer a complete array of helicopter and fixed-wing exterior lighting products, including anti-collision, position and tail lights as a complement to its existing interior LED lighting systems. The acquisition, to take place early this month, will also serve to increase the company's European presence. "Our customers are looking for more value and turnkey capabilities, and Flight Components' exterior lighting is second to none," said Emteq president and CEO Jerry Jendusa. The deal allows each company to retain its existing name, locations and product and service offerings. Emteq is here at Heli-Expo'07 at Booth No. 3051.

The Soup-Kitchen Classroom
By Vicki Goldberg;
Published: September 27, 1992
Last Spring, the students in Patricia Ann Bender's "Advanced Exposition" class at the Newark campus of Rutgers University read John Dewey's "Democracy and Education" and taught writing skills to people from the community. The writing class included a second-grade teacher, a longshoreman, a homeless man, 14 recovering addicts, a nun and a convicted murderer. In Bryan Barnett's Political Science 220 ("The Civic Community: Theory and Practice") at the Rutgers New Brunswick campus, the students made sandwiches at a soup kitchen and read Shelby Steele's essay "I'm Black, You're White, Who's Innocent?" for class, chafing over the question of what obligations the haves owe the have-nots.
This unusual mix of volunteer work and pedagogy, service and syllabus, is at the heart of the Rutgers Civic Education and Community Service Program, an imaginative and wholly experimental answer to a suggestion made in 1988 by Edward J. Bloustein, then the university's president. Bloustein proposed community service as a response to the national epidemic of racism, sexism, homophobia and religious intolerance on campuses, as well as an antidote to the virus of materialism that the young had caught from society. After Bloustein suggested making service a requirement for the undergraduate degree, the university undertook the most extensive experiment in America on the integration of volunteerism into the curriculum and its effectiveness as an education in citizenship.
Toward the end of the 80's, teachers began to notice that volunteering was on the rise among their students. The challenge was to find a way to yoke this impulse to an educational program that would also teach something about the responsibilities of citizenship. Benjamin R. Barber is a political theorist at Rutgers who headed the committee that studied Bloustein's proposal, and is the director of Rutgers's Walt Whitman Center for the Culture and Politics of Democracy. He has long believed that community service embedded in an educational framework could be the training ground for a participatory democracy. The Whitman Center coordinates the dozen or so courses from a variety of departments that blend political philosophy and community service at Rutgers; the day-to-day operation of the program is directed by Richard Battistoni, a professor of political science.
"If the young were born literate, there would be no need to teach them literature; if they were born citizens, there would be no need to teach them civic responsibility," Barber wrote in "An Aristocracy of Everyone: The Politics of Education and the Future of America," a book due out next month. His committee determined that doing good would have to serve education first. After all, Rutgers is the State University of New Jersey and not a social agency set up to solve the state's problems.
A student in the Rutgers program generally volunteers four to five hours a week, working in a team with other students, and earns the regular academic credit plus an extra credit for service. The students discuss the issues and implications of their service with team leaders, who have previously taken the course. Why don't more women come to the soup kitchen?, students ask. How do we know we're doing any good if we don't communicate adequately with the clients?
Established in 1989 with $300,000 from the Rockefeller Foundation and another $166,000 from the Amelior Foundation, Rutgers' pilot program has grown rapidly. By the end of this year, approximately 600 students will have contributed close to 45,000 hours of service. Francis L. Lawrence, who succeeded Bloustein as the university's president, expects the numbers to multiply yearly.
Like many experiments, this one moves along in unexpected and sometimes bumpy ways.
GRACE E. LOSSO, AN ENGLISH major, took Political Science 220 in her senior year. Her first volunteer activity was painting fire hydrants, which struck her as impersonal, so she helped organize a group to work at the local soup kitchen. A month later, she was invited to serve on the board, the first student given such an honor. "Since high school," she says, "since I've had my own mind, I've felt very strongly about citizen participation. Everyone should do something . We can't afford to let the Government, God forbid, take care of things. We owe a lot to this society, flawed as it is."
She was surprised to come away from the course with the feeling that "people in whatever disenfranchised or oppressed group need to become more responsible for themselves. I used to want to save the world; now I'm not so sure it deserves saving."
What triggered this was a moment at the soup kitchen when the volunteers were waiting for trays so they could begin serving the food. One "guest," as they are called at the kitchen, threw up her hands and said loudly and derisively, "Come on, you all ain't on no coffee break!" Some students laughed nervously, and one moved quickly to placate the woman. Losso just got angry: placating her was merely reinforcing the stereotype that a guest was free to take advantage of the guilt suffered by the college students. "It made me know," she says, "that no matter how poor you are, no matter how bad your circumstances, it doesn't excuse you from the human family."

It's election season, and nearly all Republican candidates want the government to scale back its role in education.
According to this helpful Associated Press primer, several candidates would abolish or shrink the U.S. Department of Education. Michelle Bachmann and Ron Paul want to shut down the agency, and Rick Perry turned down federal education aid to Texas.
Here, writing in defense of student aid, is L. Jay Lemons, president of Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pa.
Although the Congressional Super Committee failed to reach its goal of cutting $1.2 trillion from the federal deficit, Congress is already discussing how to continue the committee's work because of funding deficits that threaten to further cripple our economy.
All areas of the budget are subject to cuts in this process, and I am worried about the long-term impacts of any reductions in student aid. Moreover, we have had a presidential candidate advocating the elimination of student aid programs altogether.
This is personal for me.
I was a recipient of the full panoply of federal student aid programs, including PELL, SEOG, National Direct (now Perkins) and Guaranteed Student loans and work study, in addition to private institutional aid and the generous acts of some angels who made it possible for me to attend Nebraska Wesleyan University. As a college president, I know firsthand that cuts in student aid will exacerbate our economic problems and will further disenfranchise young people. The requirements of a highly competitive, technology and knowledge-based economy depend upon well-educated persons. More than nearly any federal dollar spent, student aid should be viewed as an investment.
The federal PELL grant program grew from $13.9 billion in 2007 to more than $32 billion in 2010. This increase is in part a result of raising the value of the awards, but is due more broadly to staggering growth in the number of recipients. Much of this is a result of the economy. When people cannot find work, they often return to school to train or re-train. Also, when a head of household loses his or her job, students who had not previously qualified for aid might now receive assistance that keeps them from dropping out of school. Both of these causes for increased program costs are worth supporting.
However, one aspect of the explosion in PELL costs that bears much greater scrutiny is the increase in program dollars going to for-profit schools in our country. Some of these schools do fine work and are introducing change and innovations that are positive for higher education. But some of these schools are of questionable value for students and are, in my opinion, not a good investment of federal tax dollars.
Fundamentally, in an era of austerity, I struggle with the question of how we can justify federal tax dollars supporting for-profit institutions when there is not adequate support for the not-for-profit sector that has served our nation very well throughout its history. Why should scarce federal tax dollars in the form of PELL grants go to the pockets of shareholders of companies when there are incredible needs in the not-for-profit sector?
Recently, while on Capitol Hill, I was asked by a legislative staffer if I favored reducing the maximum Pell Grant award or limiting the number of recipients. This is the wrong question. I quickly replied that I would favor stricter criteria for institutions to receive aid than upon limits that directly impact students.
Perhaps the time has come for the government to demand greater evidence that our institutions are built upon a business model that is not solely dependent or nearly so on federal student aid dollars. Perhaps the time has come for the government to demand a minimal expectation with regard to graduation rates; even a rate as low as 25 percent, would be an increased expectation. Perhaps the time has come for the government to employ more resources to investigate and punish fraudulent activity that drains federal resources and preys upon vulnerable students.
Such expectations would separate the wheat from the chaff. It could eliminate the charlatans that haunt the for-profit higher education world. It would create a minimum set of expectations for all institutions. It would no doubt save tax dollars and allow for the sustained investment in higher education that is critical to working our way through the economic malaise of the Great Recession.

The East Asian Crisis and Macroeconomic Adjustment
This paper reviews the adjustment processes of the 5 East Asian countries since the currency crisis erupted in Thailand in 1997. The cross-country differences and similarities in macroeconomic policies were compared. After the initial free-fall, signs of recovery became visible only from the end of 1998, even though recovery has been mild and uneven across countries. We argue that such economies as Korea and Thailand, which are quite open, private sector oriented, and have a very high leverage ratio in the corporate sector, could respond more sensitively to macroeconomic policy. Therefore, a careful balance should be maintained between the conflicting goals of stabilizing the exchange rate market and preventing massive bankruptcies and rapid aggravation of financial instability. The Malaysian experience demonstrates that tight policy alone is not sufficient to calm down the panic and that resumption of capital inflow is essential for fast recovery. On the other hand, the Indonesian case shows that the expansionary policy alone is ineffective in bringing recovery if fundamental structural problems remain unresolved.

See Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4
Upper and lower radiator hoses, along with the heater hoses, should be checked for deterioration, leaks and loose hose clamps at least every 15,000 miles (24,000 km). It is also wise to check the hoses periodically in early spring and at the beginning of the fall or winter when you are performing other maintenance. A quick visual inspection could discover a weakened hose which might have left you stranded if it had remained unrepaired.
Whenever you are checking the hoses, make sure the engine and cooling system are cold. Visually inspect for cracking, rotting or collapsed hoses, and replace as necessary. Run your hand along the length of the hose. If a weak or swollen spot is noted when squeezing the hose wall, the hose should be replaced.
- Remove the radiator pressure cap.
- Position a clean container under the radiator and/or engine draincock or plug, then open the drain and allow the cooling system to drain to an appropriate level. For some upper hoses, only a little coolant must be drained. To remove hoses positioned lower on the engine, such as a lower radiator hose, the entire cooling system must be emptied.
- Loosen the hose clamps at each end of the hose requiring replacement. Clamps are usually either of the spring tension type (which require pliers to squeeze the tabs and loosen) or of the screw tension type (which require screw or hex drivers to loosen). Pull the clamps back on the hose away from the connection.
- Twist, pull and slide the hose off the fitting, taking care not to damage the neck of the component from which the hose is being removed.
If the hose is stuck at the connection, do not try to insert a screwdriver or other sharp tool under the hose end in an effort to free it, as the connection and/or hose may become damaged. Heater connections especially may be easily damaged by such a procedure. If the hose is to be replaced, use a single-edged razor blade to make a slice along the portion of the hose which is stuck on the connection, perpendicular to the end of the hose. Do not cut deep so as to prevent damaging the connection. The hose can then be peeled from the connection and discarded.
- Clean both hose mounting connections. Inspect the condition of the hose clamps and replace them, if necessary.
- Dip the ends of the new hose into clean engine coolant to ease installation.
- Slide the clamps over the replacement hose, then slide the hose ends over the connections into position.
- Position and secure the clamps at least 1 / 4 in. (6.35mm) from the ends of the hose. Make sure they are located beyond the raised bead of the connector.
- Close the radiator or engine drains and properly refill the cooling system with the clean drained engine coolant or a suitable mixture of ethylene glycol coolant and water.
- If available, install a pressure tester and check for leaks. If a pressure tester is not available, run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached (allowing the system to naturally pressurize), then check for leaks.
Upper and lower radiator hoses and all heater hoses should be checked for deterioration, leaks and loose hose clamps every 15,000 miles (24,000 km). To remove the hoses:
- Drain the radiator as detailed later in this section.
- Loosen the hose clamps at each end of the hose to be removed.
- Working the hose back and forth, slide it off its connection and then install the new hose.
If the hose is stuck, use a suitable razor cutting tool or knife, and carefully slit the hose enough to split it open along the connecting neck.
- Position the hose clamps at least 1 / 4 in. from the end of the new hose and tighten them.
Always make sure that the hose clamps are beyond the bead and placed in the center of the clamping surface before tightening them.

Zoinks! by Dale Culp
A WebFiction Published Thrice Weekly
The enthralling, true tale of a trans girl just trying to get by and make the most of her life.
Also, she hunts ghosts and occasionally solves mysteries.
New to Zoinks!? Start at the beginning.
Chapter 2 - Act 4 - "Easy Money"
"Aww, c'mon, Philip. She's perfect for the job!"
"Ain't NO way, Howard."
I'm sitting at my desk, trying not scream as Philip and Howard decide whether to hire me or not. As much as I love this conversation, I decide it's time for a soft close. "Ok, hobo humpers. You want to get the hell out of my cubicle before I mace the both of you?"
"You don't have the balls to even try, Lucy!"
"Philip, we both know I do. And we both know I will."
Philip gets a look of fear on his face, a deer caught in the headlights, and backs down.
"Howard, how could you even think this was a good idea?"
"Philip, just this one time! Let's just see how it goes," Howard begs, and it's pretty ugly, but Philip won't budge.
"C'mon, Philip!" Howard begs some more. "Make HER hold the camera! I want to be in the video, this time!"
Philip stands firm. "No."
"You promised!"
"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!" Howard begs, but Philip doesn't look too moved.
"PLEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSEEEEE!!" Howard screams, and I've just about had enough.
"Seriously, Philip? You know, I didn't really want to join your little dork crusade, but if it ends this pathetic display, let's just do it and get it over with so I can get paid!"
Suddenly, I realize the whole office is looking at us.
"Uh, hey, all... It's totally not what it sounds like!" I say, as I break out in a cold sweat.
The office returns to its usual hustle and bustle, but I can almost just make out Valeria muttering under her breath, from across the room, "Yeah, right. I'll bet it ain't what it sounds like."
"Guys, can we talk about this after work?" I ask. "I'd like to end this conversation before Boss Ross shows up, gets the wrong idea and starts lecturing us on quid pro quo sexual harassment and the company's policy on prostitution in the workplace."
"There's nothing more to talk about," Philip insists. He then pulls out his phone and begins typing out a text message. "You want in? Fine. Just be at this address Saturday night, around 9 pm."
My phone lights up with a text from Philip; it's an address. I'm stunned. "Oh... ok," I say.
"This is your one chance, probie. DON'T MESS UP!"
Philip walks away in a huff as Howard performs a series of fist pumps, saying, "YESSS!!" over and over again.
"Easy money," I say, under my breath. From across the noisy office space, I can hear Valeria "HMPH!"
- Howard is, in fact, based on Gir from Invader Zim. He's also based on a few people I know in real life. So, just read this act imagining Gir's voice and it's a lot funnier.

Feminism is on the rise
Wow I'm not like a feminist or anything if that's what you're thinking. @Anno_Domini

I've seen a varied amount of topics covered on the site with feminism thrown in there.
The same stuff gets rehashed over and over again. Feminists desperately hang onto their label and the normal people who don't hate men just keep throwing logic facts and reasoning at them.
Just show them the warren farrell protest in their take if you feel like showing them what they're actually promoting. It's pretty self explanatory.
