Rutgers Grease Trucks - Home of the Fat Sandwiches The Rutgers Grease Trucks are a group of truck-based food vendors located on College Avenue of the main campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. They are famous for serving the delicious “Fat Sandwiches”, a sub containing an ensemble of ingredients such as burgers, cheese, chicken fingers, French fries, mozzarella sticks, gyro meat, bacon, etc. Please see below for a menu of Rutgers Fat Sandwiches. History Starting in the early 1980s, food trucks licensed by the city of New Brunswick parked along College Avenue, most clustered near Voorhees Mall, where there is a high concentration of classroom buildings on the campus. A few were as far north as Brower Commons, about a quarter mile away (thus competing with eateries in the student center and dining hall). Students and visitors alike could obtain a quick, hot, inexpensive meal during events and between classes.
Katrina and the Never-Ending Scandal of State Management - William L. Anderson For the most part, we know what happened — and what did not happen — after Katrina had battered parts of the U.S. Gulf Coast and flooded most of New Orleans. Despite promises of aid "around the corner," adequate government assistance did not reach many of the refugees, and especially the people of New Orleans who were stuffed into the Superdome, the New Orleans Convention Center, not to mention nursing homes and roofs of houses. As we now know, government agents stymied attempts by private individuals and organizations to bring provisions to people who had none. People languished for about five days before the "cavalry" arrived, bringing provisions and some bit of hope. Why this happened generally is explained according to one's political preferences.

Whats Your Secret Salsa Ingredient? [Photograph: Lisa Fain/The Homesick Texan] A few months ago, I came across a tomato-based salsa at a Mexican restaurant that I couldn't stop dipping my tortilla chips in. It had all the major salsa players: tomatoes, onions and chiles. But there was something a little different about this salsa, a spice or herb that I couldn't put my finger on. It added a touch of earthiness, a little smokiness?
U&lc / from a working library Perhaps once, a long time ago, there were those who had nothing better to do than to curl up with a good magazine; just give them lots of text (all in about nine-point, with some headlines in, say, 24-point), and they’d start from the beginning and read right through to the end. But today, millions of good Americans are jogging when they ought to be reading magazines. They’re working out. Basics Behind Color Theory for Web Designer As a collective digital artist, it is important to understand the fundamental science behind color theory. It’s a popular topic with a vast spread of information to retain and digest. Not only does this topic focus on arts and design, it also involve jist of optics science. Greece and America: the Taxman Wants More — Mises Economics Blog Agents from the Financial and Economic Crime Unit sat at the Three Little Pigs Cafe bar in Athens recently working a stakeout to find a suspected tax cheat–the Three Little Pigs owner. These Greek government gumshoes were soon asking to look at customers’ receipts to see if the night club was collecting value-added taxes. “Armed with a new law devised to help Greece crack down on tax cheats, the agents shut the cafe for the next 48 hours because, they said, receipts were missing,” the New York Times reports. “Across the city, other restaurants and nightclubs were also being padlocked, their names showing up in the local newspapers, their front doors sealed for all to see.”
Examining The Design Process: Clichés and Idea Generation - Smashing Magazine Advertisement Where do good ideas come from? It’s a question that matters a great deal to designers, yet seems to be curiously discounted in the common perception of graphic design. Any time I talk with, say, an uncle at Thanksgiving about my work, I’m reminded that, in most people’s minds, the job of being a designer is mainly a matter of learning a set of computer applications — programs which, when properly operated, presumably do the work of generating ideas on their own.

Using HTML5 To Transform WordPress’ TwentyTen Theme - Smashing Magazine Last year, WordPress launched arguably its biggest update ever: WordPress 3.01. Accompanying this release was the brand new default theme, TwentyTen2, and the promise of a new default theme every year. Somewhat surprisingly, TwentyTen declares the HTML5 doctype but doesn’t take advantage of many of the new elements and attributes that HTML5 brings. Yasuhiro Sawada Maybe it was my last post, or Scott’s recent travel adventures, but something has reinvigorated my desire to go back to Japan. I guess I’ve always wanted to go back, the feeling is just very acute right now. As Jon and Kjell mentioned in the Non-Format interview, Tokyo is a rather hard city to beat.
Mathematics and Web Design: A Close Relationship Math is everywhere, even where you wouldn’t expect it. You can find mathematical ratios and constants in architecture, but also in the instruments we use to make music. You can find math in certain games we play, and therefore it should not surprise you that mathematics plays an important role in web design too.
