Seah Ying Cong, 21-year-old Co-founder and Operations Director of Glints, will be sharing his sales tips to makers at this year's Singapore Mini Maker Faire, and how to adopt a customer-centric approach to produce development.
In our interview with Ying Cong, he shared his previous experience in entrepreneurship and why he wanted to get involved in the Singapore Mini Maker Faire.
Read on to find out more.
About Ying Cong
Ying Cong shared his interest in entrepreneurship and how he learnt through business plan competitions. He started a social enterprise but it did not work out. His success came about when he started Glints, an internship portal that recommends candidates for internships based on skills and personality, which he described to have obtained a pretty sustainable growth path.
Getting involved in Singapore Mini Maker Faire
Last year, Ying Cong got involved in the Singapore Mini Maker Faire through his friend Qin En when they came together with another friend to co-deliver a presentation and a workshop on product sales to our makers. Ying Cong shared that when he first heard about the event, he was excited because he likes to build his own things in his free time and he felt that 3D printing will have an impact on how we consume and buy goods in the next decade.
The trio received a good turn-out for their workshop and they also took time to explore the maker booths, when Ying Cong was awed by the Ironman suit. At the same time, he also observed that there was a saturation of makers doing 3D printing. While that was of interest to him, he expressed that he hope to see more diversity in the type of maker booths.
While he declared that he is not actively plugged into the maker movement, he is aware that it is gaining currency and traction, especially with the increasing popularity of Arduino amongst certain local enthusiast groups. When asked on his expected take-away from his participation this year, he felt that there is value that they can bring to the makers from a business point of view, and he looks forward to meeting interesting people and checking out cool gadgets that other participants made.
Don't miss the chance to speak with Ying Cong personally at his workshop though! More details will be out on the Singapore Mini Maker Faire website www.makerfairesingapore.com.

LOWELL -- The timing couldn't have been better.
Gregg Croteau, executive director of the United Teen Equality Center, received an email Monday morning from the U.S. Green Building Council.
He shared the email -- which notified UTEC that it has achieved the council's highest designation for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design -- with a group of more than 200 UTEC staff and supporters at Tuesday night's grand opening of the organization's newly renovated home in the former St. Paul's Church at 34 Hurd St.
"As effective yesterday at 7:24 in the morning, UTEC is LEED Platinum and, equally as important, we are the oldest -- we like to say the oldest -- greenest building in the country," Croteau said to cheers from the energized crowd.
In the spirit of "thinking big," UTEC had strived to achieve the highest certification from the Green Building Council for its newly renovated building. It has 147 rooftop solar panels, an electric car-charging station and soy-based insulation in the basement.
Tuesday night's ceremony also served to honor UTEC teens and its partners.
Cynthia Cortijo and Denise Hardin received the Tha Tach Transformation of the Year Awards, named in honor of UTEC's first front-desk coordinator.
Cortijo, 22, a mother of three, got pregnant when she was 14. She was in an abusive relationship and dropped out of school.
She went through depression after losing her grandmother to illness and her stepbrother to gun violence.
She started last November and is expected to take her last GED test in December.
"Before I started at UTEC, I didn't think I would ever change my situation," Cortijo said. "Now when I look at my kids, I believe I can make everything better for us."
Hardin has a similar story.
Her father died from leukemia, and her mother suffered from health problems.
Hardin was angry and would get into fights at school, which eventually led to her getting kicked out of school.
Her mother ended up taking temporary custody of her son, giving her a wake-up call. UTEC ended up being the program that worked for her.
Hardin is now a crew leader, supervising other teens. She is working toward her GED and works down the street from UTEC at Rosie's Cafe.
"Now I dream mostly about my future and of all the things I know I am capable of doing," she told the crowd.
Gov. Deval Patrick, who attended the ceremony Tuesday night, encouraged the teens at UTEC to share their stories, however complicated or embarrassing or awkward they may be.
"Your story is a powerful story," Patrick said. "It's a story about chance -- like Gregg said, it's a story about hope and perseverance. It's about not giving up. The fact that you, through your own efforts, with the consistent partnership of UTEC, unwilling to give up on you or let you give up on yourselves -- that transformation is its own energy for other people still waiting for their transformations."
Lowell Police Superintendent Kenneth Lavallee received the Steve Pearlswig Adult Ally of the Year Award, presented by Kathy Muldoon, a UTEC board member and Pearlswig's widow.
"UTEC has made such a difference in this city," Lavallee said. "I can tell you that we're making so much progress in terms of gang violence and in terms of the things young people deal with because of Gregg Croteau and the UTEC team."
Pearlswig, who died in 2009, was UTEC's founding board president.
Muldoon said she believes the double rainbow that graced the city hours before the ceremony was a symbol that Pearlswig was watching and was happy with what UTEC has become.
Also at the event, Eastern Bank was named UTEC's corporate partner of the year.

Should Shark Boy be grateful for all the free press? How long 'till HBK calls it quits? And who is actually on Sylvain Grenier's side?
Wrestlers get the third degree, without the ability to plead the fifth.
Everybody wants to know....
Shark Boy, ever since you filed the lawsuit against the makers of Shark Boy and Lava Girl, TNA has seemingly given you a bigger push and you've received a ton of publicity. Do you think the situation may actually have been a good thing for your career?
Shark Boy: "Other than the media attention, I don't think it's positively affected my career in any way. With the TNA crowd, I was already getting great reactions before this, so no, I don't think so. I always had the following, and it's what got me signed with WCW, the fact that the fans were so into the character.
"As for TNA, when the movie got press, maybe they wanted to highlight me a little bit. But they featured me as one of their main characters before all this too. In the win/loss category, I don't always shine as much as other wrestlers, but that's the nature of the character.
"What makes things uncertain now is the idea that some people may show up and say I am a rip off and that I stole the name from the movie. That is what is damaging my career and it's definitely affected what I do."
Shawn Michaels, people have been saying your career is near its end for years. You've always risen to occasion and proved them wrong, but how much more have you actually got left in you?
Michaels: "I want to perform at a level that is tolerable to me as a fan. As long as I can do that, I'll keep doing this. The travel is harder and it's more emotional being away from my family, but I still enjoy wrestling and want to keep it up."
Eric Bischoff, what went wrong with Mat Rats? You obviously saw enough potential in the project to get involved.
Bischoff: "Mat Rats was a very short-lived initiative. It was about young athletes who all had a very high-flying, very aggressive, very dynamic style. It's great to be able to do a lot of high-flying gravity defying moves, but at the same time, you need to be able to bring it on other levels. How can you captivate an audience's imagination?
"For the guys who worked Mat Rats, my advice would be to study guys like Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero and Triple H and Ric Flair. Look at guys who took a long time to really know how to tell a story in the ring and aren't totally dependant on doing things that defy gravity."
Sylvain Grenier, who are your friends in the locker room?
Grenier: "Because I worked with him all the time, Rob (Conway) is a friend. In terms of long term friendship, it's hard, because anybody will move you out of the way in a second to get a better spot. Friendship is a big word, but I'm sure it's the same thing as you. If you have another journalist trying to get your job, what will happen? We all work for the same job, and it is always about business."
Edge, you were in your late twenties when you wrote and published your memoirs. A little young to be reflecting on your life's work, don't you think?
Edge: "To be perfectly honest, I probably only have a few years left in me, so why not do it now? Initially I just wrote it for eventual kids and grandkids to read. Then it became one of those things. I was doing my column every week on wwe.com and it was pretty entertaining. They asked if I'd like to do a book and I said yeah, but only if I could write it myself.
"I talked to Steve Austin and asked if it was too early to write this, and he said 'Hell no, look what you've already been through.' I've got a story to tell. People think I only appeared in 1998, but they don't know the story leading up to that. You have people like The Rock and Kurt Angle who have been in the business a lot less than me, and done it with a ghostwriter. I've been in the business 13 years, and I did it myself."
You can catch the WWE wrestlers on pay-per-view each month. Next up is Unforgiven on Sep 18.
Shark Boy can be seen on Impact each week at www.tnawrestling.com and in October on Spike TV.
TJ Madigan is a sports writer for the Calgary Sun. His unique Q & A sessions with the big names in wrestling can be read exclusively on SLAM! Wrestling.

Image: Joseph Austel and his first wife, Maria, nee. Gutgsell (who is sitting and holding baby Franz); Maria's mother, Mrs. Margaret Gutgsell, nee. Kessler, stands in the rear; and 7 of the 10 children born to Joseph and Maria. Maria's first child, named Joseph, died within a month of birth. Two other daughters, Rosa and Margaret, were not yet born when this family portrait was taken at Jacque Studer Studio, Weinfelden, Canton Thurgau, Switzerland, circa 1888.
The following image is the three youngest children of Joseph Austel and Maria, nee. Gutgsell: Frank Joseph, now a young man, the sisters Rosa and Margaret (or Gretl, my grandmother), about 1915.
My aunt, who was the late Mrs. Helen R. Bailey, nee. Gailliot, possessed a necklace and tiny locket which contained a miniature portrait of Joseph as a young man. Since the portrait measured only 1 x 3/4 inches, and since Helen was a talented artist, I asked her to sketch a larger bust of Joseph so I could frame and hang it on the wall of my home. She did a wonderful job and I joined the two images together for this entry (see below) using Adobe Photoshop Elements:
Later on, I enlarged the original several times in a photocopier and digitally scanned it. But in the meantime Helen almost went blind drawing from the tiny miniature which she had clipped to the corner of her easel. Ahhh, the wonders of technology!
Joseph Austel was born 1851 in Haindorf, Bohmen, (Bohemia in English) which is in the Czech Republic today. The village name has since been changed to Hejnice in the Czech language. Joseph was a Roman Catholic, as were most of the Austrians at the time he was born. The only Catholic Church in the village was Panna Maria. It is an ancient church and was used for centuries as a site for pilgrimages. According to the Internet, the church is known as, "The Temple of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary". Today, it is a retreat for spiritual rehabilitation. I imagine that all the parish records have been removed.
However, I was fortunate to find parish records of the family after Joseph was married and after the Austel family migrated to Burglen, Canton Thurgau, Switzerland. I have a copy of an affidavit concerning Joseph Austel which I believe was some sort of character reference, titled in German, "Leumunds-Zeugnis". It confirmed that Joseph was originally from Haindorf and that he lived in Burglen between 1875 and the year the document was created, 1900. Over that 25 year period, 10 children were born to Joseph and Maria and are recorded in both Catholic and civil records in Canton Thurgau, Switzerland. In Sep 2001, I visited Saints Peter and Paul Catholic church in Sulgen, near Burglen, I was able to copy baptismal entries from the parish record. I wanted to take a picture inside the closet archives of the church which contained shelves of old parish records, but strangely, the parish priest turned down my request. However, he did allow me to take at least one picture of the record book which contained the data of the Austel family.
Also from the Parish Records, I discovered that the mother of the family, Mrs. Maria Gutgsell, daughter of Ludwig GUTGSELL and Margaret, nee. KESSLER, died in 1895. Fortunately, the parents of the deceased were also listed in the record. The CIVIL records were even more helpful; they gave vital statistics for the deceased and the parents. Maria Gutgsell was born 1857 in Wintzenheim, Alsace (France at the time) and her mother, Margaret, was born 1820, Ammerschwihr, Alsace. The record went even further to give the parents of Margaret Kessler as Marc KESSLER and Magdalena ZUSCHMITT. How Joseph Austel from Haindorf, Bohemia, on the east side of Germany, met his bride from Alsace, on the far west side of Germany, is a mystery. What was going on in history in 1875 in middle europe which might give a clue regarding their rendezvous?
Two years after his first wife died, Joseph Austel, married a Protestant convert to Catholicism, Rosa Friedrich, who was 25 years younger that he was. Actually, Joseph gave Rosa an ultimatum to convert if she wanted to marry him. They had one son, Paul (b. 1898), who later died as an infant.
Again, the records of the civil authorities, or what I came to know as the Zivilstandesampt Haushaltungs (Household Registers) came through with welcome genealogical data. The marriage record for Joseph and Rosa listed their parents. Joseph's parents were Franz AUSTEL and Veronika NEISSER (no vital statistics) and Rosa's were Johann FRIEDRICH and Josephina, geboren (born) ODERMOTT.
In Nov 1903, Joseph and his second wife, Rosa, and Joseph's mother-in-law from his FIRST wife, and the youngest six children immigrated to America and settled in Braddock (a borough of Pittsburg) Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Braddock was already home to the mother-in-law's only other child, Louis Gutgsell, and Joseph Austel's oldest son, Ludwig Austel. Joseph's son had come to America the year before in 1902 at the request of his uncle. Two daughters in the first generation, Maria and Ida, remained in Switzerland and never emigrated. They were already married by 1903: Maria to Heinrich SCHLUMPF and Ida to Fidelius RINK. There were descendants from these families, but unfortunately, communication diminished to a point where contact was lost.

Wabash will put its undefeated 4-0 football record on the line Saturday afternoon against its toughest opponent of the season. The Little Giants travel to St. Louis, Missouri to play the Washington University - St. Louis Bears (2-2) at 2 p.m. EDT/1 p.m. CDT at Francis Field.
The Little Giants are coming off a 40-3 win last Saturday at Kenyon College. Wabash trailed 3-0 in the second period before scoring 28 unanswered points over a span of less than five minutes. Sophomore quarterback Chase Belton posted career bests with 31-of-41 passing for 399 yards. He tossed four TD pass and ran for another in the victory. Junior Jonathan Horn also had a career day, catching 13 passes for 195 yards and two scores.
Wabash special teams provided a necessary spark for the third week in a row. Markell Brown blocked one kick that led to seven points. Jonathon Koop grabbed the football and raced 20 yards for his second blocked punt touchdown in as many games. Nate Scola added another blocked punt, giving the Little Giants six blocked punts in three games.
The Little Giant defense held Kenyon to 162 yards of total offense and no points in the first quarter. Wabash has held opposing teams scoreless in the opening period of the first four games of the season, outscoring the other side 41-0.
Washington University has had two weeks to prepare for the Little Giants, enjoying a bye week after posting a 37-7 win over in-state rival Westminster to even its season record at 2-2. The Bears are undefeated at home this season, opening the year with a 34-3 victory against Knox.
Three seniors lead a talented offensive for the Bears, while a veteran defense has held opposing teams to an average of 15 points and 298.8 yards per game. Jim O'Brien is sixth in Bears' football history in rushing and enters the weekend averaging 73.5 yards per carry. Quarterback Stephen Sherman has thrown for 544 yards and three TDs on 49-of-95 passing for the year. Wideout Tom Gulyas is among the all-time Washington University leaders in pass receptions and receiving yards. He has caught 13 passes for 145 yards this year.
The Little Giants own a 25-15-2 record in the series versus Washington University, including a four-game winning streak. Wabash is only 9-11-1 at Francis Field.
Watch Wabash Head Coach Erik Raeburn's thoughts about the win at Kenyon and this week's opponent, Washington University - St. Louis.

Physics, Degree Project (Master)60 credits
The city of Kalmar is situated on the southeast coast of Sweden. Kalmar is a beautiful city with 65,000 inhabitants and a long history dating back to the Middle Ages, with many cosy neighbourhoods and great charm. The lush green areas surrounding Kalmar Castle and the city park are many students' favourite.
The proximity to the ocean and the island of Öland has left its mark on the city and there are many long pedestrian paths along the coast. It is never far to anything in Kalmar and most places can be reached in just 5-10 minutes' walk – the university, the ocean, the gym, or the city centre, Kvarnholmen.
In Kalmar the university buildings and student accommodations are spread throughout the town and are well integrated with the historical surroundings – making students feel part of the town.

As the PWA embarks on the final event of the season, there's more big transfer news as Starboard add to their wave and race team with two new talented riders.
The PWA's President and long time slalom racer, Jimmy Diaz will be joining the Starboard racing fraternity. Here's Jimmy on how it all came about:
"It all started as a result of F2 going into bankruptcy protection. This left me without a board sponsor and allowed me to step aside and look at the windsurfing scenario and see where I could best pursue my options. I had never approached Starboard in the past because they already had such a great team and I did not see how I could contribute to it.
However, after the situation with F2 I looked at companies from a very critical standpoint in deciding whom to approach. What I saw in Starboard was, first and foremost, a company who is year after year producing the most competitive boards on the market.
I wanted to race on the best boards and seeing the success Antoine and Kevin were having, I knew the boards were working very well. The second thing I looked at was the strength of the company and the reasons behind it. I have known Svein for quite a few years now and have developed a very strong respect for him.
I really like the way he thinks and views the sport and his philosophy is a very healthy one not only for the growth and promotion of Starboard, but also for windsurfing in general. Knowing the success of Starboard, I knew Svein had developed a very strong team around him to push the company and sport forward.
This was very appealing to me. So after factoring these things in my mind, I decided to try my chances and approach Svein to see if there was any room in the team for me. Fortunately, Svein, Tiesda, and Joe were able to find a place for me on the team and now I look very much forward to contributing as much as possible to its success."
And secondly, after a brief spell on F2, Philip Koster has signed back with Starboard. Svein Rasmussen, president of Starboard International, was so impressed by Philip's performance in Gran Canaria he flew to the Canaries to personally congratulate and bring the 14 year old wonderkid back to the brand with the Tiki logo.
At the Gran Canaria PWA Wave event last month, Philip Koster knocked out wavesailing superstars Levi Siver and Alex Mussolini, before losing closely to Victor Fernandez. Philip also won the airtime award with the biggest jump of the event at 4.08 seconds.
And he's only 14. Not since the time when Bjorn Dunkerbeck appeared on the scene have competitors seen such a impressive talent at such a young age – so definitely a space to watch out for.
With young riders like Sarah–Quita, Kiri Thode, Jaeger Stone, Amado Wiesvijk, French darling Alice Arutkin, Connor Baxter, Zane Schweitzer and with the experienced Jimmy Diaz now the official Dream Team Coach for these youngsters, it certainly look like a second generation of Starboard Dream Team riders is about to storm the world.

Huntington University remains a top college
Monday, September 16, 2013 7:43 AM
Huntington University remains one of the top colleges in America, according to U.S. News & World Report.
In results released on Sept. 10, U.S. News named Huntington a top-three school in Indiana and number 16 in the Midwest in the 2014 edition of the magazine's guide to the nation's Best Colleges.
U.S. News & World Report has consistently ranked Huntington among the Midwest's best colleges.
This is the 14th consecutive year that the university was listed among the top 20 schools in the Midwest.
For the sixth year in a row, Forbes and The Princeton Review have named Huntington one of the top colleges in the country and the Midwest, respectively.
To rank schools, U.S. News first organizes colleges and universities by category and then ranks them within each group.
According U.S. News, which follows the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, regional colleges "focus on undergraduate education but grant fewer than 50 percent of their degrees in liberal arts disciplines; this category also includes schools that have small bachelor's degree programs but primarily grant two-year associate degrees."
Rankings are based on the following criteria: graduation and retention rates (22.5 percent), peer assessment (22.5 percent), faculty resources (20 percent), student selectivity (12.5 percent), financial resources (10 percent), graduation rate performance (7.5 percent), and alumni giving (5 percent).

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns' quarterback of the future might not have as much of it as the golden boys of yore.
Yet Brandon Weeden, while he is a 28-year-old rookie, does not need a walker. He did not win the Heisman Trophy by padding his statistics at the end of blowouts, as did Florida State's Chris Weinke, an oldie and not-so-goodie at the start of the century. Weinke lasted four mediocre seasons in the NFL.
Some of us remember Ernie Accorsi, the general manager when the Browns rose to near-greatness in the 1980s, chortling that Bernie Kosar would only be 37 at the turn of the 21st century. Playing the bulk of his career behind the Browns' offensive lines, Kosar retired at the age of 33.
Kosar was tall and stationary. For the most part, with only 34 rushes in his final two college seasons at Oklahoma State vs. 1,075 passes, so is the 6-4, 221-pound Weeden. Pitch count clearly might be a concern if he played baseball, which of course, Weeden did while chasing a big-league dream in the low minors for five years with a 97 mph fastball and not much else.
Weeden said a baseball delivery is longer and more stressful, compared to the shorter, snappier football release. He said he threw effectively for Oklahoma State at Texas Tech, when wind gusts reached 80 mph and houses headed for Oz were seen on the horizon.
Just kidding about the houses. Also just find it hard to believe that even the tightest spiral could stand up to a blue norther on the West Texas plains.
"Ever been to Oklahoma?" said Weeden.
Well, personally yes. Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain and all that. Still, his assertion about coping with the conditions he found there and will inherit here is something to hang onto, along with your hat, when the swirling wind is fanged with sleet at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
The point of the wind discussion is that Weeden has an arm that is much stronger than that of Kosar and Colt McCoy. When the smoke screen of the front office's pre-draft vote of confidence in McCoy had cleared, it seemed that the biggest thing about Weeden might be that he is not McCoy. This recalls Butch Davis' acquisition of Jeff Garcia, mainly on the grounds that he was not Tim Couch.
Weeden, however, was a second-tier quarterback in this draft, as was everyone except Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. Failing in their pursuit of RG3 at No. 2, the Browns took Weeden at No. 22.
The team's first pick, Trent Richardson at No. 3, for whom the Browns traded three late draft picks, immediately gives Weeden a better running back than McCoy had in Peyton Hillis, if only because Richardson is not a diva, sulking in his tent.
It was really hard to evaluate McCoy due to the shameful neglect of the offense on his watch. But Weeden can make all the throws. McCoy's arm strength was suspect in a dink-and-dunk, tedious offense that was characterized by a long handoff that came up one yard short on third down. Nor was McCoy's accuracy as advertised. In the red zone, kicker Phil Dawson was the "closer," not McCoy.
It couldn't have helped, either, when McCoy's father blasted the team for its handling of his son after Colt suffered a concussion.
It will be a big surprise if McCoy is here by training camp because the Browns almost surely will shop him. The Browns don't need a locker room divided between quarterbacks. It might be a raw deal, but that has sort of been the only deal available at quarterback ever since the Browns returned.
Some analysts think the two picks after Weeden -- offensive lineman David DeCastro of Stanford, to Pittsburgh, and Riley Reiff of Iowa, to New England -- are better players. One report, however, said the Browns had Weeden ranked 13th overall.
For his part, Weeden said he knew it was time to give up baseball when he surrendered three broken-bat home runs, dodging the flying barrel of one, while pitching for the High Desert Mavericks in Adelanto, Cal., located outside San Bernardino. By Weeden's account, he wasn't exactly hit hard in High Desert.
That will probably come soon enough at the lakefront, though.

No need to add any extra mustard to the new Doyers Dog. Maybe tabasco?
New traditions collide with old habits, like old rivalries adding new players. Or switching them.
You, Juan Uribe. Read the sign. No fraternization with the opposing team.
There's no such signage? Sorry, then it's implied — prior to entering the batting cage to take some pregame cuts, it's not cool to be over near the Giants' dugout exchanging back slaps with the guys you once bonded with and won a World Series. Your diamond-crusted ring will come in due time.
Meanwhile, find a place on the Dodgers' infield. Third base, tonight. Second base, later. You ever catch?
It's already foreign enough to ask fans to come to an Opening Day that goes along with a 5 p.m. first pitch on a Thursday. Add to that the Foreigner song "Urgent" blaring over the speakers while the Dodgers get loose on the field below.
What's the emergency? Urgent care can wait. Where's Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'?"
(Hang on, Placido Domingo is standing next to Nancy Bea Hefly at her press box organ position, practicing his rendition of the National Anthem. It doesn't get more bizarro. It's just One Tenor. That's all they can afford these days.)
The Giants are el gigante, champions of the baseball world.
The Dodgers are . . . introducing a new slogan. No more "My Town." Now, you complete the phrase, "It's Time For . . . "
"New owners," says one young fan, old enough to know better.
"A World Series in my lifetime," adds another, one who's pushing 20.
"A Kool-A-Koo," says an oldtimer, refereing to the ice cream sandwich that would go well on this 90-degree-plus setting.
Sorry, they're gone. Care for a frozen yogurt in a plastic helmet?
Here's another new diversion: Doyers Dog, aka the latest heart attack waiting to happen. Another act of deception.
Here, you take your traditional Dodger Dog, except replace the meat-and-byproduct 12-incher with an all-beef wiener. Add chili, nacho cheese, chopped tomatoes, onions and jalapenos. And a larger bun to accomodate it all.
It's just $8, or three more than the "regular" dog. And just a buck seventy-five more than the Veggie Dog, but guaranteed to cut at least three months off your life expectancy.
Does any of that make sense?
"Eight bucks?" said one customer as he ordered one.
"Yup," said the friend who was with him. "Someone's gotta pay for this McCourt divorce."
Most major credit cards accepted.
It took us 13 bites to finish the one we dare ordered. Two legs to steady it on our lap. And at least as many napkins.
If only head chef Joseph Martin could have made this thing bacon-wrapped. With whip cream and melted butter.
There'll be none of that at the new Healthy Plate Carts chalk full of arugula salads with toasted walnuts and goat cheese. There are also turkey burgers available for the first time, on whole wheat buns for crying out loud.
Over at the Stadium Club, there's also a new drink called the "Charge" can be served up — Absolut vodka with a Sobe Full Throttle energy drink.
You take your caffeine when you can get it. It could be a long season.
And no more Canter's Deli on the field level. The Dodgertown Deli replaces it, serving up its own hot pastrami on a French roll with pickle chips, or barbecue roast beef.
Russell Martin, you're missing some fun here.
So there's your new additions to the Dodgers roster. Along with Aaron Miles. Marcus Themes. Tony Gwynn Jr. Hector Giminez. Mike Hawksworth. Mike McDougal. And Lance Cormier.
Hold your applause until the entire roster is announced and they can introduce themselves to each other on the third base line.
And that 2-1 win to wrap things up: Nice drama. They're on pace for … well, you do the math.
These aren't the new Doyer Dogs. And shouldn't be consumed. But they may cause heartburn.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Monday, June 25, 2007
It's been so unseasonably cold these days that I made my husband light a fire in the woodstove so that I would feel like having a salad last night! I was busy all day transcribing recipes and catching up on some other writing chores, after a busy dance weekend.
|My group dancing a Saidi cane dance (I'm on the right)
I had some mushrooms that I wanted to use up, and I had some cooked black-eyed peas. Bulgur cooks quickly, so I looked for recipes using that grain. I found two recipes that fit the bill (the mushroom recipe could even use up that piece of red bell pepper that languished in the refrigerator vegetable drawer), and served them with a simple salad of island-grown greens with cucumber, tomato and olives, and a lemon-garlic-olive oil dressing. It was just perfect! (And both recipes would be suitable for the Weight watchers' Core plan!)
serves 4
MY CHANGES: I had very large mushrooms, so I sliced them. I didn't parboil them as the recipe instructed (I was lazy!). I also had no cilantro, so I used some dried basil to taste-- fresh parsley could also be substituted. 1 tsp. seemed like alot of chili pepper, so I used a couple of large pinches of cayenne.
1 lb. small fresh mushrooms
1 med. onion, finely chopped
1 T. olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 tsp red chili pepper (see note above)
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 cup chopped cilantro
Parboil the mushrooms in 4 cups boiling water for 2 minutes, drain. (See my note above). Saute the onions in the oil until transparent. Add the mushrooms, garlic and both peppers. Stir-cook 5 minutes. Add pepper and cilantro (and salt to taste). Simmer for another 5 minutes. Serve in a flat dish.
4 servings, each 90 calories, 4 g fat, 2.7 g fiber
serves 4
MY CHANGES: I used cooked, dried black-eyed peas-- canned could also be used. Again, I had no cilantro so I used 1 tsp. dried basil and 1 tsp. dried mint instead (if using fresh, use 1 tablespoon each).
1 T. olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, mashed
2 cups black-eyed peas, frozen (see my notes above)
3 cups water (I used vegan broth)
1 cup medium bulgur wheat
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (see my notes above)
pepper to taste
Saute the onion and garlic in the oil in a large pot.
Thaw the black-eyed peas, if using frozen ones, and simmer over low heat in the pot with onions for 5 minutes. (No need for this if you use canned or cooked ones, just add to the pot--BCG) Pour the water (or broth) into the pot with the onions and peas. Add the bulgur and herbs, bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer on low, covered, until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
4 servings, each 280 calories, 4 g fat, and 14 g fiber.

Thanks for the scoop on the new book. The bulgur and black eyed peas sounds perfect for dinner tonight.

Deb has come to the conclusion that, when on a long car journey, I'm not a great passenger.
"Are we nearly there yet ?" I enquire politely…usually around five minutes into a four-hour journey.
"No, not yet", comes the patient reply.
"Are we almost nearly there yet ?"
"No, I'll let you know when we are", she responds with iron patience.
A few minutes pass…
"Are we almost nearly almost there ?"
At this point, I'm usually offered the option of walking the rest of the way.
It's the same with long-running programs on the database. I want to know how far it's gone and how far it's got to go.
Oh, what Deb would do for an in-car equivalent of DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.
Deb would probably have some sympathy with the DBA who gets a call from a user who has a process running and is, essentially, asking "are we nearly there yet ?"
Fortunately, with a bit of foresight and the judicious application of a little DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO magic, the answer to this question is right there in V$SESSION, or even V$SESSION_LONGOPS. Continue reading

Bus Driver Not Guilty of Manslaughter in NY Crash
NEW YORK (AP) - A casino bus driver at the helm of a New York crash that killed 15 people last year has been found not guilty of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
Ophadell Williams was found guilty Friday on one count of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
Prosecutors alleged he was so exhausted it was as though he was drunk behind the wheel.
Defense Attorney Patrick Bruno says Williams was well-rested and the crash was the result of a tractor-trailer that swiped the bus and drove off, causing Williams to lose control.
Williams was driving from a Connecticut casino to New York's Chinatown when the bus crashed around 5:30 a.m. on March 12, 2011.
Authorities say the speeding bus ran off the highway, hit a guardrail, then toppled. A sign pole sheared off the roof.

Oldsmobile Cutlass
1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass (Fourth Generation: 1973-1977)
The Cutlass line was redesigned for 1973 using GM's new "Colonnade" A-body platform. The model lineup consisted of the base Cutlass, Cutlass "S", Cutlass Supreme, Cutlass Salon, Vista Cruiser station wagon, and the 442 appearance package on the Cutlass "S" colonnade coupe. The Cutlass "S" and 442 offered, as an extra-cost option, unique Strato bucket seats with high seatbacks and built-in headrests that could be swiveled 90 degrees to permit easier entry and exit for the driver and front-seat passenger.
The new Cutlass Salon was an upscale Euro-style luxury/sports sedan similar in concept to the Pontiac Grand Am of the era. The Salon, which included items such as uprated suspension, radial tires, reclining bucket seats and dimmer switch mounted in the turn-signal lever was based on the Cutlass Supreme series, first as a 4-door Colonnade sedan, joined by a 2-door Colonnade hardtop coupe in 1974. The Cutlass Salon was the first Oldsmobile with the 'international' flags emblem, later carried on the Cutlass Ciera. Front disc brakes were standard.[5]
All Cutlass models came standard with a 180-horsepower (130 kW) 350 Rocket V8 (k code). Optionally available was a 200-horsepower (150 kW) 350 rocket V8 with dual exhaust (m code), a 250-horsepower (190 kW) 455 Rocket V8 (U code or L75). The top engine option was a 270-horsepower (200 kW) 455-rocket V8, with a hotter cam, and W30 style heads. This engine was called the L77 (V code), and was used primarily in the 4-speed cars, and automatics without the air conditioning option. Transmissions included a standard column-shift three-speed manual, optional four-speed manual with Hurst shifter or the three-speed Turbo Hydra-matic automatic. Gauges were optional.
Only minor styling changes were made on this year's Cutlass models. Most notable were new grilles up front, including a unique fascia with bumper mounted turn signals on the base model not shared with any of the other trim levels, and federally mandated 5 mph (8.0 km/h) rear bumpers (joining the 5 mph (8.0 km/h) front bumpers mandated in '73) along with flush taillight lenses. Both the 350 and 455 Rocket V8s were carried over unchanged from 1973 aside from revisions required to meet 1974 emission regulations. Turbo Hydra-matic transmission became standard equipment on all Cutlass models this year. A new hydraulic bumper system was new.
For 1975, Oldsmobile added two smaller engines to attract economy-minded buyers in the aftermath of the 1973–74 energy crisis. Those included the Chevrolet-built 250 cubic-inch inline six (previously offered on 1966–71 Olds Cutlasses) and a new 260 V8 based on the Olds 350 Rocket V8, which continued as an option. Also available was the 455 Rocket V8, rated at 190 horsepower (140 kW). All engines were mated to catalytic converters and required unleaded gasoline. The three-speed manual transmission returned as standard equipment in conjunction with the six-cylinder engine on all Cutlass models except Salons and station wagons. However, very few Cutlasses were built with those items as most customers overwhelmingly preferred the 350 V8 and Turbo Hydra-matic as in previous years.
The Cutlass line superseded the full-sized Delta 88 as the best-selling Oldsmobile line for the first time ever in 1975 with the Cutlass Supreme coupe accounting for the majority of those sales, becoming the best-selling intermediate-sized car in America by overtaking the Chevrolet Chevelle and Ford Torino for the top spot. The Cutlass was also the second-best selling car line in the U.S. in 1975, with only the full-sized Chevrolet Impala/Caprice outpacing it. A fuel economy gauge was optional.
The Oldsmobile Cutlass became America's best selling car this year and would hold this title for most years into the 1980s. A restyled front end with waterfall-like split grilles and new rectangular headlights was introduced that would become an Olds Cutlass trademark in coming years, lasting into the late 1980s. The sides were also re-shaped for a less contoured look than the 1973-75 design, the taillights were revised and the license plate/fuel filler was moved above the bumper. The base Cutlass line was dropped, with the Cutlass S nameplate now applied to the entry-level coupe and sedan this year - both of which featured an aerodynamic slanted front nose in contrast to the upright front ends of other Cutlass models including the Cutlass Supreme coupe, sedan and wagon, Vista Cruiser wagon, Cutlass Salon coupe and sedan, and the new Cutlass Supreme Brougham coupe. The 442 option was still offered on Cutlass S coupes as an appearance/handling package.
Engine offerings were carried over from 1975 including the Chevy-built 250 cubic-inch inline six and Olds-built Rocket V8s of 260, 350 or 455 cubic inches. A three-speed manual transmission was standard with the six-cylinder engine but Turbo Hydra-matic was optional with this engine and the 260, and required with the 350 and 455 V8s. A new option this year was a five-speed manual transmission, which was available only with the 260 V8.
New grilles highlighted all 1977 Cutlass models with Cutlass S sedans and coupes reverting back to an upright grille/front end while the more aerodynamic slanted front end was only offered with the 442 option. "Oldsmobile" nameplates in a new sans-serif typeface replaced the former script ones.
Inside was a slightly revised instrument panel with the clock relocated to the right side of the dash above the glovebox. This also marked the introduction of Oldsmobile's new mechanical digital clock. The Chevrolet inline six was replaced by Buick's 231 V6, while the 260 and 350 Rocket V8s were carried over. The big 455 Rocket V8 was discontinued and replaced by a new 403 cubic-inch Rocket V8. Transmission offerings included a three-speed manual (standard with the V6 engine on Cutlass S and Supreme coupes and sedans), five-speed manual (with 260 V8 only) or three-speed Turbo Hydra-matic optional on V6 "S" and Supreme models, and standard equipment on all Cutlass Supreme Brougham, Cutlass Salon and station wagon models, as well as all cars with 350 and 403 V8s.
A sedan was added to the Supreme Brougham line, while the Salon lost its sedan version. The base wagon dropped the Cutlass Cruiser nameplate and became part of the Vista Cruiser line.
632,742 Cutlasses were built in 1977, the highest production for the model.

Product Description
Even today in China, the unmistakable evidence of a fascinating story is everywhere. Hundreds of years ago, the country teetered on the brink of a change in power. Regional rulers fought continuously with each other with only one goal in mind: to become the new Emperor. They erected imposing houses and sent their emissaries to the regional courts.
This fascinating game of domination combines multiple tactical possibilities with simple-to-learn rules and a short playing time! China is based on the multiple award-winning game Web of Power by master game designer Michael Schacht.

Area control is becoming one of my favorite categories of gaming, and Michael Schacht has become one of my favorite game designers. Some of my favorites, Coloretto, Zooloretto, Hansa, and having just discovered recently, China, are all creations of Mr. Schacht. The rules for China are pretty straight forward, with only a few small twists that increase the tactics of the game in a good way. There are multiple ways to score points, but of course you can never do everything you want to do. In a nutshell, you have two options. Place a house on a house space, and when all house spaces are full in a region you stop and score, or you can place an emissary on the dragon symbol in the middle of the region.
Secondly, you can exchange one card, picking another from the draw pile or the four face up cards. The houses score in sort of a cascade, i.e., the player with the majority of houses score 1 point for each house regardless of color. The player with the second most scores 1 point for each of the leader's houses. The third place player 1 point for each of the second place player, etc. The rest of the points are scored at the end of the game. One point for each house in a straight row of 4 or more.
Finally, a preset number of provinces are compared and if someone holds the majority in both of the two regions they score1 point for each emissary. This one is the most difficult to achieve as the number of emissaries in your supply is limited. What makes it so much fun is that there is a lot to think about as you play, but it is also a very accessible game. I haven't played all of Mr. Schacht's games , but this is currently one of my favorites.
I recently played this game with my friends Kevin and Chris. Out of the clear blue sky this weekend, Kevin came over for our weekly game session with this little Überplay game. We played only one game but it was enough for me to see that this game has potential beyond our first brief encounter. The game is managed by cards, and plays a lot like Ticket To Ride in that aspect, so if you're familiar with T2R then this game will come to you quickly. If you're trying to introduce a new player to T2R then teach them this first (if you have it already) they'll catch on to T2R faster that way.
The printing is nice, and Überplay has done something you don't usually find from most board game companies. They printed on BOTH SIDES OF THE BOARD!!!! The reason for this is one side is used for 2-3 players and the other for 4-5 players. The map is the same on both sides, but there are more roads, and more towns connected by them. Basically it's a game of area control, but it's also a game about building, and creating roads, much again like, T2R. You have houses you can place, and emissaries you can use to control certain areas. All the pieces are wood, and have that Carcassonne "Meeple feel" to them. It is my belief that whatever printing company Carcassonne was printed by, was also the same one that printed this. If not, then perhaps the same artist was used? Either way, the artwork, and interior of the box for both (Carcassonne and China) really look alike. I'm sure we'll play it again, and often. The game is small compared to other board games, but there's a lot of little wooden pieces, and the board leaves plenty of table space for your beer, ashtray, dice, and other knickknacks.
The game sets up fast, play is fast, maybe 30 minutes tops once you play it enough, and is a lot of fun. There's a predetermined ending (2 shuffles of the draw deck), and scoring is done when territories are filled in, and/or at the end of the game. So if you like T2R, Carcassonne, territory control games, or you're looking for a game like T2R for younger players, this is THE game to get. I think it merits 5 stars, but I need more game play on it to know for sure, but I'll mark it as 5 for now, perhaps later on, I'll have to come back and edit this to reflect a lower rating, but I doubt it.
And remember you can't pass "GO" if you don't play the game!!!!
BUT The double-sided board(one side is for 3 to 4 players, the other side support up to five) don't have much difference, that bring much limitation to the game, making it no good for 3 players.
Moreover, the CHINA MAP is a TOTAL TURN OFF to me! I hate the designer using a Chinese (or Eastern) Background for gimmick. I doubt whether the designer ever do any research before making the board. LU was just a very little tiny vassal state of QI, if there should be a strong state southward to QI, it was SONG. Thus YIN was always the weakest kingdom in the Warring States Period.

Bruce Sterling accused of sham marriage
This is wrong on many levels. I've never met them, so I can't comment myself on the reality of their marriage, except to note that Bruce Sterling is a good looking wealthy intelligent over-achieving man, so I can't see that he needs to hire himself out as a husband-of-convenience, nor does it seem likely that he needed to offer a green card just to get a woman into his bed.
(Aside: I also think it truly ironic that an organisation that takes 6 months to decide on a 3-month visitor's visa allows only a couple of weeks for them to put together evidence that their marriage is real).
But US Immigration don't think like that. It seems from what Sterling wrote that they check up on marriages between Americans and non-citizens, and look for the paper trail that would be generated by people living together: joint ownership of homes, bank accounts and the like. And because of their somewhat nomadic existence it seems that Bruce and Jasmina don't have that paper trail.
Students of organisational behaviour will recognise an anti-pattern here, although I don't know if its ever been written down. It looks like this:
Name: Chasing Reality
Context: Enforcement of rules that mandate an ill-defined threshold of performance.
Forces: People attempt to meet the performance threshold with minimum effort. The enforcing authority becomes concerned that their effectiveness is being eroded.
Supposed solution: The enforcing authority requires increasingly stringent evidence of performance. The rules about what is "sufficient" may also be kept secret or poorly defined to prevent people from engineering their evidence to follow the requirements.
Resulting context: the enforcing authority becomes increasingly unable to judge real performance, and instead becomes obsessed with the production of evidence. Success depends more on finding out what the real criteria are and meeting them than on actually performing the original task.
I have seen this pattern before, although never with such horrendous consequences. Some years ago a senior manager told me that he had a set of criteria for any application to spend money, but he would not tell anyone what they were for fear that all the applications would then meet those criteria. When I visited the US many years ago, before the visa waiver programme, I had to provide evidence of solvency to get a visa, but was not told what "evidence of solvency" looked like (I photocopied a year of bank statements; it did the trick).
Mr & Mrs Sterling are apparently required to meet a secret (or at least highly under-advertised) set of criteria for a "real" marriage. When the US first controlled immigration I expect it only had to be a legal marriage, but sham marriages were an obvious problem. So the Immigration people wanted to see wedding photos. So sham couples hired photographers. Then Immigration wanted to see you living together, so sham couples rented apartments. And so it goes on. The Immigration people are on an endless treadmill: whatever evidence they require will be produced, whether by sham couples or real ones. Now its got to the point where the sham couples will actually have better evidence of their reality than real couples, because they are more aware of the need to generate it. Or as Granny Weatherwax once put it, "Things that try to look like things often look more like things than things."
Its also ironic that a writer with a great talent for spotting trends and capturing the zeitgeist should be caught up in exactly the kind of insane socio-political trend that he writes about so entertainingly.

Actually, Paul, although I am caught up in it, it doesn't surprise me, for precisely the reasons you delineate there. You are right about the authorities gaming their own system in an attempt to keep their system from being gamed. I don't really see how they have another choice.
Actually, their logical choice is to sternly forbid the citizenry to marry aliens, because that's "fraternization" or even "miscegenation." But that bureaucratic tactic leads to such buckets of human tears that it's politically impracticable. So they have to cut a blood-is-thicker-than-water-hole in the icy legal structure of citizenry. Of course people will jump through it and try to breathe there. The best a bureaucrat can do is go out with a club and swat them like baby seals.
Jasmina and I are getting a plethora of horror stories from couples who have nothing to do with us but are eager to lament about the harsh treatment they've gotten from governments. Commonly they exult that they finally found a powerful political patron -- a Representative, a Senator -- who put the faceless bureaucrats into line. And yes, that is how people do it -- you go find a Godfather figure who will pretend to chastise the bureaucracy so that you can pretend to obey the bureaucracy. And the bureaucracy just dispassionately ticks right along; it's like a sink trap, it can't catch everything, but it's there to catch what it can.
There is a novel in this somewhere, and the hero is an immigration officer. Seriously.
PS: thanks for saying such flattering things about my attraction to women. My wife is really touched by this. -- Bruce Sterling

I'm hoping that if and as kickstart migrates to a two-step install, it gets a bit closer to this. As I said, my major beef with kickstart (which I otherwise find fabulously useful) is its lack of robustness. If you're installing on homogeneous systems on a reliable network and have tested it, it scales extremely well, and there are various tools that can be used to e.g. automatically build the kickstart file from templates, on the fly, per host type or ip number or whatever so it is also quite flexible on the regrettably expert-friendly side of things, but on highly INhomogeneous hardware, slow and undependable networks, and the like -- if it dies, all you can do is start over. In fact the same is true of a non-kickstart install. Doing a minimal base install FIRST, making the system bootable at the end, BEFORE doing lo the many packages and things that can go wrong is clearly the right way to go to improve robustness. And you bet, installing ssh and enabling it in that base system would be so unbelievably lovely, especially if that same base system has jove and checkpointing of some sort on the script(s) that finish off the system, so that if a particular package crashes the install one can just remove it from the list and restart the package list install to pick up where it left off and deal with the missing piece later. Or blow off the audio install if it turns out that the audio hardware the install discovers isn't on the supported/recognized list so IT will require some hand tweaking later. Again, I'd really like to see various convergences, and convergence of the base system is certainly one of them. It would be absolutely perfect if Linux distros adopted a uniform installation model that was, in fact, identical right up to the completion of that base system install with ssh and booting enabled, so that one could run one of several scripts and "install_fedora" or "install_debian" or whatever on top of the base. So that one could use kickstart from start to finish, or FAI from start to finish, or a mix of the two, independent of which distro one was installing. Of course this requires a binary and configurational standard at LEAST through the base install (the kernel, glibc, /etc layout, more base-class libraries). We might get there. There are Force of Good at work here, combatting the Forces of Evil however slowly. And one does (I admit) need to leave a lot of freedom in the system so that the standards and need for consistency don't become developmental chains. But at the same time, standards and stability are PRACTICALLY speaking very major requirements for any sort of professional installation of Linux, and a sine qua non for commercial developers. Simplifying the base system and improving stability and recovery on generally inhomogeneous desktops and laptops (!) is also key to the adoption of linux on the desktop outside of professionally managed networks. rgb > Typically, I restrict FAI class-specific stuff to what's needed to get a > particular bit of hardware working.

STATFS(2) BSD Programmer's Manual STATFS(2)
statfs - get file system statistics
#include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/mount.h> int statfs(const char *path, struct statfs *buf); int fstatfs(int fd, struct statfs *buf);
statfs() returns information about a mounted file system. path is the path name of any file within the mounted file system. buf is a pointer to a statfs structure defined as follows: typedef struct { int32_t val[2]; } fsid_t; #define MFSNAMELEN 16 /* length of fs type name, including nul */ #define MNAMELEN 90 /* length of buffer for returned name */ struct statfs { u_int32_t f_flags; /* copy of mount flags */ int32_t f_bsize; /* fundamental file system block size */ u_int32_t f_iosize; /* optimal transfer block size */ u_int32_t f_blocks; /* total data blocks in file system */ u_int32_t f_bfree; /* free blocks in fs */ int32_t f_bavail; /* free blocks avail to non-superuser */ u_int32_t f_files; /* total file nodes in file system */ u_int32_t f_ffree; /* free file nodes in fs */ fsid_t f_fsid; /* file system id */ uid_t f_owner; /* user that mounted the file system */ u_int32_t f_syncwrites; /* count of sync writes since mount */ u_int32_t f_asyncwrites; /* count of async writes since mount */ u_int32_t f_ctime; /* last mount [-u] time */ u_int32_t f_spare[3]; /* spare for later */ char f_fstypename[MFSNAMELEN]; /* fs type name */ char f_mntonname[MNAMELEN]; /* directory on which mounted */ char f_mntfromname[MNAMELEN]; /* mounted file system */ union mount_info mount_info; /* per-filesystem mount options */ }; fstatfs() returns the same information about an open file referenced by descriptor fd.
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
statfs() fails if one or more of the following are true: [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix of path is not a directory. [ENAMETOOLONG] The length of a component of path exceeds {NAME_MAX} char- acters, or the length of path exceeds {PATH_MAX} charac- ters. [ENOENT] The file referred to by path does not exist. [EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of path. [ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating path. [EFAULT] buf or path points to an invalid address. [EIO] An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system. fstatfs() fails if one or more of the following are true: [EBADF] fd is not a valid open file descriptor. [EFAULT] buf points to an invalid address. [EIO] An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.

How To Advertise
Advertising 101
If you are new to advertising and marketing a business, read this first. If not, skip below for rate card, specs and contact info
Why Advertising in the Local Paper Works
Print advertising in weekly newspapers with a paid subscription base is a powerful way for businesses to advertise. People pay to have The Independent delivered to their home or they pay for it at the store. This means they want to read it. That's not always true for something sent through the mail unsolicited. A daily paper is in the home a few hours before it is tossed and the next one arrives, but The Independent tends to be around the house all week, giving people more of a chance to see your ad.
Why People Trust Weekly Newspaper Advertising
People trust ads in their hometown newspaper more than they trust advertisements on Facebook or Craigslist. There is a normal process of vetting an ad when people who live and work in your hometown take the ad and publish it in the hometown paper. Simply put, we don't have a problem with scam ads, and our readers know that.
Who Creates the Ad?
We can. We employ degreed, experienced designers. We create the ad for you at no extra charge.
So How Do I Get Started?
First, determine what you want to do. Do you have a store and want a lot of people to come in a short period of time and buy lots of stuff you have marked down? If so, you need a large ad (a 1/4 or 1/2 page), with color or an insert in to the paper. These ads are designed to move a lot of product fast.
More than likely you need a small, well-designed ad run multiple times to build awareness of your business. Small ads published frequently work well for service businesses and retailers who want steady traffic. We can show you how to accomplish this.
If you are looking to draw people to an event like an anniversary or grand opening, we can use proven methods to get people to your store. Just contact us to get started.
Types of Advertising
Ads in the newspaper - Our most popular product. Easy to make, effective, multiple sizing and pricing options for any budget.
Inserts - We can design, print and deliver a flyer for you at affordable prices. These work great and we can show you samples of flyers that have gotten results.
Front page advertising - This gets noticed by everyone who looks at the newspaper that week.
Web - Advertise on this website, which gets hundreds of hits a day. A great way to complement an ongoing print campaign.
Direct mail - Ask about our marriage mail package in Hesston. Low prices with a big reach.

When most of us look at this Russian group CD-ROM cult, we're silently relieved that the Cold War is over.

For nearly 20 years, exchange-traded funds (ETFs)have been available to investors, offering diversification, liquidity and tax advantages, along with the tradability of a stock. ETFs are usually based on a number of asset classes, but can also be specialized to cater to individual strategies — such as leveraged long or short ETFs and actively managed funds.
So far in 2012, the stock market has been strong, with the S&P 500up 7.9 percent. but many of the top ETFs have far surpassed that gain. Although experts an make a bull caseor bear casefor 2012, some of the top performing ETFs reflect broad market trends.
To get an idea of which ETFs have been the most successful, the CNBC.com analytics teampored through the 100-largest funds (based on assets under management) to see which had the best year-to-date performance. The funds in this group have market capitalizations between $2.2 billion and $73.3 billion. ETFs with a 10-day average volume less than 1 million shares were excluded. Prices and market capitalizations were calculated as of the market close on Feb. 22.

For decades, Volvo has been a standard in terms of safety and reliability and this legacy can be seen in the S90. Although the S90 was short lived in the market, it paved the way for future models and increased standards in terms of performance and luxury from the Volvo name.
In the mid-1990s, Volvo rebranded all vehicles with a new naming system, which included the S90. Formerly known as the 960, the new and improved S90 was available in 1997 and 1998 with all the bells and whistles drivers would expect to find on a luxury Volvo sedan. It can be argued that the S90 was almost a replica of the previous 960, but updates could be found on both the interior and exterior. And what was lacking in performance, it made up for with a luxury interior and plenty of safety features.
The Volvo S90 may be best known for its minimal evolution from the previous 960 sedan. Small changes were made to the S90, but did include a refreshed interior and a new palette of exterior colors. Consumers could choose from Classic Red, Dark Blue Metallic, Blackberry Pearl Metallic, and Polar White Pearl Metallic to name a few. Volvo enthusiasts may have felt comfort in the gradual progression of the line although many understood the short life span of the car would lead the way for more advanced models that would offer better fuel economy and performance.
The S90 is also well-known for its abundance of standard features on the single, base model. Bucket seats, power moonroof, power heated mirrors, daytime running lights, power windows, and power driver's seat with memory are just a few that graced the long and honorable features list. Many other safety features, like daytime running lights, were also added in both the 1997 and the 1998 model years.
After the release in 1997, the following model year saw not one noteworthy change. The 1998 Volvo marked the last year the car would be released, leaving room for some of the more modern and up-to-date models, including the S70. The S90 is often combined in terms of performance and body styles with its wagon counterpart, the V90. Many of the features are similar for both models, except the V90 features added benefits, such as additional trunk space and a child safety seat.
When shopping, the S90 consumers can expect to find many luxurious options on the base model. The base S90 boasts a 2.9-liter, six-cylinder engine with automatic transmission. Safety features include side curtain airbags and antilock brakes. When opening one of the four doors, people will quickly notice the posh interior, which includes leather seating, a power sunroof, premium sound system, and power features throughout. If you are comparing the S90 to its later S70 predecessor don't be shocked to find a more fuel efficient engine and lighter body frame in the latter.
The 1997 S90 was the first generation under the ?S? title and it carried many characteristics from the previous 960 version. Offered only in the base model, the S90 offered a 2.9-liter, six-cylinder engine with automatic transmission that reached 181 horsepower. The exterior saw slight updates and the interior was overhauled with many premium trim features.
On the plus side, the one and only base model is filled with luxury features Volvo shoppers hope to find. Inside the cabin, you will find leather seating, dual power seats, and a premium sound system. Other attributes include a power sunroof, alloy wheels and climate control. Other available optional features, including the CD audio system and heated front seats, made for an enjoyable ride regardless of the distance travelled. The cabin itself is smaller when compared to the S70, but it still offers many features that make the vehicle stand out.
Thanks to the Volvo name, many safety features are also standard on the S90. From antilock brakes to side curtain air bags, many drivers feel protected when behind the wheel or in any other comfortable seat within the car. Four-wheel ABS, an anti-theft alarm system, fog lights, and airbags for the driver and passenger seats add to the safety features.
Although the S90 may have turned heads, it can be a hard sale when placed next to the lighter and leaner S70. Also, since both model years—1997 and 1998—saw little to no upgrades, the competition within and outside of the Volvo brand may be great.
