today I'm looking for some advice from folks who have laid out event programs. 

In this case, the client (a local nonprofit) has a famous keynote speaker at their event, and have solicited donations from local businesses. Each donation over a certain level = a full page ad in the program for the event. Most of them are "Congratulations to  on your anniversary", etc. with a company logo sitting somewhere (the businesses that send in their own camera-ready artwork will just have them dropped into place). 

I'm going to be laying each ad out in a template so they look consistent; my question to the GD crowd is, "Should I lay the template out in Illustrator and bring each ad individually in to InDesign or should I create a template page for an ad in InDesign and lay each ad out in InDesign?"

Based on your experience, what are the pros and cons of each approach? Obviously it would be easier to lay each ad out in Illustrator (that's what it's there for) but I lose a certain amount of flexibility once I hit InDesign (the program will ultimately be laid out in InDesign).


Question: 2005 Chevy Cobalt won't start, sounds like a machine gun
Answer: Definitely just insufficient current to run the starter motor. What happens (causing the flashing/clicking) is that when you turn the key, the starter relay/solenoid switches on, and the starter motor pulls all the available current, dropping the battery voltage extremely low. It can no longer power the relay, so the relay springs back and the load (starter motor) is removed from the battery, voltage returns to normal, and the whole cycle starts over again.

As for the root cause, it could just be a bad battery, or an accessory left on that drained your battery, or a weak/dead alternator that's not sufficiently recharging your battery when you drive the vehicle. But to get it started, a jump start or battery charger should suffice. Then you can begin tracking down the cause of the problem.
