HYDERABAD, India, December 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Naya Ventures, a new type of venture capital fund specialising in early stage companies in the mobile and cloud markets, today announced its first closing for its 250 Crore Rupees ($50 million) fund.
Headquartered in Dallas, with offices in Silicon Valley, Seattle and Hyderabad, India, Naya takes a unique approach from the typical venture capital fund to lead by collaboration. Combining the features of a venture capital fund with those of a private equity firm, Naya not only provides capital to early stage companies, but also the industry experience and relationships at the concept stage in their development to help jumpstart their growth to the next level and beyond.
Naya helps connect entrepreneurs with the necessary key players in big companies, from internal product marketing and development all the way up to C-level executives, leveraging its own extensive operational experience, product development expertise and network of strategic relationships to help entrepreneurs grow their companies and accelerate value creation. At a time when many funds have struggled or even closed, the value of Naya's portfolio companies have created significant value and all its portfolio companies have gone straight to Series A or B funding.
The fund is led by serial entrepreneurs who are veterans in mobile and cloud technology industry and who have collectively founded and sold mobile technology companies creating more than 2500 Crore Rupees ($500 million) in shareholder value. The fund is headed by Dayakar Puskoor, a wireless industry visionary and former Microsoft executive, whose background includes founder and CEO of JP Mobile and M2 Junction; Prabakar Reddy, an experienced global executive with more than 20 years of strategy and operational roles in Fortune 500 and innovative start-up companies including co-founder and CIO of Risemart and Managing Director of ANSR Group; and Gowri Shankar, CEO of SinglePoint Technologies and a founding member of the Sprint PCS launch team, which laid the foundation for Sprint PCS's industry-leading enterprise sales strategy.
"We're pleased that these investment partners have joined us and see the value in our unique approach," said Puskoor, who serves as general and managing partner for the fund. "We are not a traditional incubator model, nor a traditional Venture Capitalist; we consult with our portfolio companies' management teams to identify areas in which Naya can help and go beyond opening doors for our portfolio companies. We do all that we can to build value. All of our portfolio companies have benefited by Naya's connections in getting strategic deals and partnerships, and kickstarting revenue.
In operation since 2011, Naya's current portfolio consists of seven companies in the mobile and cloud market. These include BoxFish (formerly Mixaroo), a better way to control TV, Zoomingo, a top rated shopping app platform that lets consumers find the best deals in their local stores or online from their smartphone or home computer; and Glympse, a mobile service that allows GPS-enabled mobile devices to share their location via a web app for a pre-set amount of time. Additional companies are currently in the pipeline or under evaluation.
"Naya's team has helped us in our business development and marketing, assisting us to refine our strategy and getting key introductions to potential partners that helped us to accelerate our business development," said Eoin Dowling, Co-founder and CEO of Boxfish. "Naya worked with us in lockstep to increase our business development bandwidth."
"Naya has been a key strategic partner from the beginning, and the team is available to us as much as we want," said Shirish Nadkarni, President and CEO of Zoomingo. "As part of this, Naya had helped us with our strategy and business development, identifying and introducing us to potential business partners to help us establish a strong business model for Zoomingo."
Co-investors in Naya portfolio companies include Menlo Ventures, Benaroya Capital, Seapoint Ventures, Intel Capital, Deutshe Telecom Ventures, Ignition and Rally Capital.

Greetings my friend.
I have not been using my computer much lately, which is why I have been a little remiss with works, reviews and of course this ny Diary. I have of course been working on my book, albeit very late in the evening, or should I say early in the morning, when all is quiet.
I think it was about two weeks ago that I realised that there was a problem. The Problem being that this machine was starting to dictate my day to day activities. When i rose in the morning? The first thing I would do would be to turn on the computer, check emails, eBay listings, (both buying and selling), Go into Chatroom, Chatboards and etc; followed by a little time playing Command and Conquer. These activities being interspersed with coffee breaks, cooking, washing, and eating.
When I looked at what was going on, I discovered that there was something missing fro life. That something is "LIFE" itself.
When I ponder on the slow march towards my own mortality, I see that there are other things to do. Things that I am missing out on, things like walking in the sun, making love beneath the stars, standing on the highest hill and looking out at the world, and falling in love with all that I see. Each time I look down at the patchwork of open land, or suburbia, it is like I am doing it for the first time, every time. Spring is upon us, the birds are nesting, The magpies are contesting territory with all other living things, including humans. My cat Mojo is pregnant, albeit that she often gets pregnant, but seems to not have kittens. This may have something to do with her sitting on top of the microwave, sniffing what's inside.
I should tell you about Mojo. She is a tabby, two years old, and a bit of a tease. I say tease because she will go outside when on heat, lay on her back making all the apropriate sounds and howls. When the Toms come looking, she sits and watches the fights for her favours, then promptly beats up the winner. She will then run inside and sit there where the toms can see her, quietly cleaning herself, with that smug look on her face.
She is into politics, although I'm not sure which side. We have deep and meaningful "Conversations?", about different leaders. I must say here that were she human living in the US, she would not vote for either candidate. She has similar views about our John Howard. I think she is leaning to the Left a little.
If she does not get her way? She can become quite vicious, attacking everyone but me. Which in one way is ok, not so for the other members of the family. She loves attacking feet, so maybe it has something to with my socks that puts her off.
The love of her life is our other cat named Lenin. he was so named for his habit of becoming dictatorial over where he should sit, feed, sleep, and lounge. He apears to have claimed Mojo as his own personal property. The problem there is that he is ten years old, has few teeth, is half blind, overweight, oversexed but desexed. ( Hmmm... reminds me of a few politicians I know of). I am not saying that he does not try, it just seems that it's all in the mind. A case of, "Hang on I'm trying to remember what to do here."
I seem to have digressed a little, but then i often do that, don't I?
We were discussing the living part of life. We wearn't? Ok we will.
The more i think about it, man has become the sevant of cyberspace. In the beggining it was the other way around, The computer was a tool and nothing else. But as time passed, more and more sevices bacame available on the net. Things that are aimed at keeping one online, wasting living time, doing tottaly inanae thine tsks that have no benifit in the general scheme of things.
For instance, I am sitting here doing this on a bright, warm sunny Sunday afternoon, when i should be out there doing something constuctive, like mowing the lawn. Oops, scratch that one. Anyway on considering that thought, i think i will leave for a while and go outside. maybe go for a ride to the Brisbane River for the River Festival, where my most favourite pastime is being conducted today. The International Food Fair. With over a hundred different cultures, displaying and selling their unique ciusine, All I can say is;
Fare thee well, I shall go, see, and conquer my apetite.
So until next time gentle reader, may you Gods watch over you, may your life be filled with unending love, and may your apetites be suitably satiated.
The Sword of Feimhin

The way to Come Up With An Efficient Content Marketing Plan Seeking to produce an successful content marketing plan? Get it right and you'll have a laid a solid foundation from which to build upon. The key to being efficient is to plan your work and work your plan. This is especially important if you have limited time available like when you work from home. The internet runs on search and your job is to put together a content marketing plan that effectively ends search. Meaning you want to fill up your website, blog or video channel with content that makes sense and both useful and engaging for your target audience. Without a lot of viable content, no one will even know your site exists and if they do somehow find discover it - they won't stay long. An effective content marketing plan may include timely e-mail newsletters, articles published to hundreds of article directories, blog posts, videos and engaging with potential prospects on forums and other social media internet sites like Facebook and Google Circles. You can also become a guest blogger or offer short ebooks and online tutorials. Think lots of useful content delivered in various formats. Publishing Content Marketing Plans is the Your Sky Forge! In the mind things are airy and subtle. Taking action on your ideas is the equivalent of shaping hot metal into a function tool to serve your respective ends! Look down upon content marketing as just 1 tool you have to achieve your goals. Your above it so do not let it drag you down when you think about what topics to focus on. Just like any magazine or periodical you'll need fresh ideas for articles and topics so you can write them and get right on to the one! Throw money at article writers and content providers all day long and it won't do you a bit of good unless you've got a plan to back it up. An excellent plan is to write content and publish articles based on a set of lucrative key phrases. Keywords which have value to merchants might include keywords/search phrases that include the words "buy" and "purchase" or perhaps "review". Is it easier to pluck a chicken or create your own content? You choose, but in the end you will want to set aside time to complete one or the other. Visitors come back to your website because their not suckers, they're know what they are searching for. And they'll only come back if you can give it to them. If not, they will move on to the next candy store offering something sweeter. Short-Term/Long-Term Content Marketing Plan Daily content is key. Which sounds like a lot of work however the effort will pay off tremendously in the long run. And keep in mind you are not limited to producing daily articles and long blog posts or videos. It is possible to keep your readers engaged by simply posting everyday news, specials and updates. Interactive polls and the results of those polls are can be considered as a content as well as an updated schedule of events. Embrace Facebook and Twitter to help keep your audience engaged and participating. Weekly Events Twice a week it is the weekend. Take that time to write new content for the own internet site. The rest of the week you can just spank the panda and see if it screams. Article rewriters and content spinners are sharp enough to sting even google's godzilla sized algorithms cannot resist an unique article. Remind your followers why they choose to follow-through with following-you on Twitter and Facebook. If you get stuck in the mud try to read some thing new like a book. Yes, I know they are dry but it might give you a juicy idea. Writers block can be beaten with Lincoln logs? yes, in fact go read Abraham Lincoln diary for suggestions. And so now you have everything you don't need to start a content marketing plan. The truth is, you had everything you needed all along in-between your ears. Your just reading this because your a robot. Soon you will wake up and take over the world sneering out of your hard drive while you download a virus into our biological email feedback system. Creating a fresh video every week might be fun! And profitable. Pencil it in for once a week, perhaps on Bluesday. I know that's not a real day - but it's a single when you're feeling blue. Video features a method to make you feel new. Monthly By now you must have outlined a nice daily and weekly content marketing plan. Now let's consider a few extra things you can do monthly to add even more exposure and branding for your business. Perhaps once a week instead of writing a normal 500 word article or brief 5 minute tutorial video - strive to make a longer, more informative piece that is highly researched and brings more value to the table. Collaborate with other authors and internet masters. Invite guests to contribute to a monthly column. You can also repurpose your content. Read your articles to produce podcasts for a web-based radio show. Use article to video software to simply present your content in another way. In other words, how are you able to leverage the work you've already done? If a Year's a Dollar, Here's What You Do For a Quarter Ever so often a content or prize winning sweepstakes comes along. Major corporations are good at this. Take a tip-toe from the giants and scoop up more than your fair share of this idea. And shebang! Now you have a blueprint for content marketing. Implement these ideas and you will have a treasure-map for success. Succe"X" marks the spot.

Decor Fellow and Vicente Wolf
In case you haven't been over to Decor Fellow this past week, James posted some awesome photos he received from Vicente Wolf's office. Sorry James for posting this so late but once I saw the photos I thought better late than never! Here Is one of the photos:

In this brave new world of ours, it is no longer enough to simply offer the lowest cost product. Product innovation is now critical to a company's success. U.S. companies are discovering it is becoming harder to innovate when their manufacturing plants are half a world away.
Just look at the competition in hand-held devices, medical technology, and a plethora of other high-tech products, the highest sales go to the innovators with the most dependable products. But innovation doesn't stop there. Increasingly, even basic manufacturing products from wing nuts to autos are experiencing a transformation. Corporate teams of designers, engineers and workers on the assembly line find themselves collaborating like never before to produce a smaller, sleeker and more energy-efficient mouse trap, just like they did in the days of Henry Ford.
In order to do that, many companies are realizing that they need their manufacturing processes and factories closer to home. That realization is fueling an "insourcing" of jobs and manufacturing back to America. That's good news for the future of this country and its workforce.
Readers may recall my column, "Made in America Returns" back in June of this year. In that article, I attributed the renaissance in American manufacturing to lower energy and transportation costs here at home as well as the narrowing of labor costs between American workers and those unskilled workers of China and other emerging economies.
But that is not the entire story. A recent article in The Atlantic by Charles Fishman, titled "The Insourcing Boom," caught my eye. He chronicled the recent experiences of General Electric in transforming its defunct Appliance Park, Ky., manufacturing headquarters into today's cutting-edge producer of basic products like water heaters, refrigerators and dishwashers.
As a resident of Pittsfield, anything "GE" is of interest to me and my clients. Back in the day, Pittsfield was the headquarters of this red, white and blue manufacturing juggernaut. That is until Jack Welch, its former CEO, got it into his mind to ship most of our manufacturing jobs off to China and other cheap labor centers 30-some years ago. The same thing happened to Appliance Park. Both towns were devastated. Pittsfield is only now beginning to recover.
Appliance Park, on the other hand, is actually undergoing a revival of its original purpose, manufacturing American-made appliances, thanks to some recent discoveries by present GE management and its current CEO Jeffrey Immelt. After failing to sell the facility in 2008, management resolved to "make it work" at the huge six-factory complex. It soon realized that they could make highly efficient, higher-quality appliances here at home at a lower cost than could be produced elsewhere.
The key, as more and more companies are beginning to understand, to creating truly innovative products, regardless of their nature, at a reasonable price, is having all the pieces of the product creation puzzle in the same place. Over the past few decades that principle was lost and forgotten as U.S. companies rushed overseas to take advantage of cheap labor. In today's marketplace, however, cost is taking a back seat over quality and innovation; something more and more consumers are demanding and willing to pay for.
Input from those in the manufacturing process is becoming integral to engineering and designing a better, more competitive product. You can't do that when your widget is being made on a Chinese or Indian factory floor in a different time zone, by workers who can't speak English. Although this trend should benefit our own workers, the question to ask is:
Is our workforce prepared for that challenge and opportunity? In my next column we will address the issue of skilled workers, or the lack thereof, in America.

While politicians bicker over the "Fiscal Cliff," the government continues to borrow about $4 billion a day. The statutory ceiling on U.S. Treasury borrowing is $16.4 trillion and we will hit that number by year-end. Then what?
If Congress refuses to raise the borrowing limit, we can expect the government to run out of options to avoid a default sometime by the end of February 2013. If we default, even technically, the credit agencies are ready to downgrade our debt once again. You may remember the drama and hysterics that last year's debt limit crisis invoked.
For months, pundits predicted dire consequences if the rating of our sovereign debt was downgraded by the big three credit agencies. Foreign holders of our debt would abandon us, they said. Interest rates on all sorts of debt would skyrocket. There would be a stock and bond market crash. Standard and Poor's did actually cut our debt rating from AAA to AA-plus. Contrary to the predictions of these Cassandras, bond prices actually went higher and rates lower; so much for the vaunted power of our credit agencies.
Readers may recall why that downgrade happened. Last year was the first time in history in which Congress turned what had been a pro forma vote to raise the debt ceiling into a hostage-taking crisis. In exchange for their approval, congressional Republicans demanded huge spending cuts. One can fault the president for going along with that game, instead of simply raising the debt ceiling on his own and dealing with the consequences.
But President Obama has made it clear that last year was a one-time event. He is insisting, as part of the Fiscal Cliff negotiations, that Congress relinquish its control over the debt ceiling. He is right, in my opinion. Using the nation's borrowing ability for political gain is unacceptable.
The 2011 debt ceiling farce also marked a turning point in a number of areas. It was the seminal event that reversed this country's priority from job creation and economic growth to austerity. It also resulted in the down grading of our nation's debt by a credit agency. It is also worth noting that S&P's downgrade decision was politically motivated.
The credit agency, in its explanation for its negative rating change, explained that based on the 2011 debt negotiations, that the U.S. government's ability to manage fiscal policy was "less stable, less effective, and less predictable."
In one of those paradoxes of history, going over the fiscal cliff would actually avert any further downgrade to our debt status. The expiring Bush tax cuts and automatic spending cuts across the board would do quite a bit to alleviate the stated default-related concerns of the credit rating agencies. The tax cuts would generate around $4 trillion in new revenues over the next decade. That is almost the exact amount most credit agencies are looking for in deficit reduction in order for our fiscal house to be out of danger.
Of course, going over the cliff and staying there will present the nation with another set of economic problems. Both sides agree that the combination of tax increases and spending cuts of that magnitude will both raise unemployment and slow the growth of the economy. It could actually tip us back into recession. One would think the risk of default for any nation would climb as a result.
Back in September, Egan-Jones, a smaller credit rating agency, downgraded American debt from AA to AA-minus, citing Federal Reserve plans to stimulate the economy (QEIII). They argued the plan would reduce the value of the dollar, do little to stimulate the economy and artificially raise the price of oil and other commodities. That would, in turn, hurt U.S. businesses and the consumer. They indicated that the risk of inflation, rather than the risk of default, was the justification for its downgrade.
In which case, if we do fail to come to a compromise, fall off the cliff and, as a result, experience a decline in economic growth and inflation, will the credit agencies actually revise their ratings upward? It would appear they would have to since the basis of their downgrades was politics and lack of fiscal austerity (S&P's reason) and inflation (Egan-Jones' argument). We will have to wait and see how this same group that missed the entire subprime debacle handles this one.
It was a week of tension. Markets rose and fell on every word uttered by party leaders, who jockeyed for position and the national spotlight around the Fiscal Cliff. It was Washington at its worst. Get used to it because this deal is going to go down to the wire.
Remember last year's Greek debt negotiations? It was a game of he said, she said that dragged on for months. We are playing the same song once again only on this side of the pond. I guess the best that can be said for this American version is that if nothing happens before Jan. 1 we all think we know the outcome.
But unlike Greece, where the country either received a bail-out or went bankrupt, this U.S. event would not be as dramatic, at least at first. If for some reason the politicians miss the deadline, it would take several days and even weeks before we feel the tax bite. As for the spending cuts, those draconian measures will be enacted piecemeal and over several years. Why is this important?
Well, the stock markets are acting like January first is a do or die event. It's not. Politicians can continue to agree to disagree; delay a compromise and either extend the deadline or let the country fall off the cliff (really a ditch) temporarily. They would still have time to come up with a solution sometime in 2013 without much impact to the economy.
But that kind of scenario would sell fewer newspapers and reduce the ratings on business shows. Brokers would have less to talk about and retirees, rather than being pinned to their televisions, could actually go out and do something productive like exercise or read a good book.
If you are in that stressed-out category, remember this. How much did all that angst over Greece help you? In the end, Greece did get a bail-out, their market is up 25 percent since then and the U.S. market is up substantially as well. So relax, will you?
Warren Buffet may not be right about everything but one reason I believe he is so successful and still in the business is because he takes a long-term view. Sure, time has become compressed. Fortunes have been made and lost in years rather than decades and it has become fashionable to "trade" the markets. I am as guilty as the next person, but only to a point.
In the past, we've had to refuse clients because we didn't see eye to eye when it came to investment style. They insisted we sell every down move in the market before it occurred and jump back in "at the right time," which for them, was before the markets moved back up.
"If I could do that," I explained. "I wouldn't need to work. I could simply sit home, trade my own account and make a couple billion dollars a year."
Here's my take. The anxiety over this Fiscal Cliff is overblown. Focus instead on the increasingly positive economic data in the United States. In addition, I expect the Fed may announce further stimulus moves in the coming month. The stock market, which is trading around 13 times earnings, is fairly valued given a modest growth scenario. We may be underestimating that growth and prospects for a better 2013 than most people expect. Buy the dips.

The Fiscal Cliff commands center stage. The nation's news media is dutifully reporting every syllable uttered by anyone even remotely connected to the negotiations. But what really matters is what is said behind closed doors between Washington's lobbyists and our elected officials.
Now that the elections are over, the debate (and agreement) among voters and parties that taxes should be raised and spending cuts must necessarily come down to the details. Those details and the devils that represent them (called special interest groups) are assaulting congressional offices with convincing arguments on why their constituencies should be excluded from either tax increases or spending cuts.
It is an old story. Theoretically, in America, I may agree that we should all suffer for the greater good of the country and the economy, as long as in reality "all" doesn't include me. In Washington, that concept prevails everywhere. A corporate coalition, for example, is lobbying to kill any tax increases in the dividend rate. That rate, currently at 15 percent, could go as high as 35 percent or more. They argue that raising the dividend tax will hurt seniors who depend on dividends as part of their retirement savings.
Of course, they neglect to add that the vast majority of Americans (low-and middle class investors) who own dividend stocks, own them in their retirement accounts, which are excluded from dividend taxes. I suspect that raising taxes on dividends will predominantly impact the 1 percent of America's most wealthy, but that's not part of their argument.
Readers, by now, are fully aware that the sticking point between Republicans and Democrats, as far as extending the Bush tax cuts, centers upon those earning $250,000 or more annually. The Democrats do not want to extend the Bush-era tax cuts to that group, while Republicans do. Instead, the GOP would like to focus on eliminating certain individual tax loopholes, arguing that they would be less harmful to businesses, jobs and the economy.
One loophole being discussed is the tax deductibility of home mortgages for either first or second home owners or both. There is some talk about capping that deduction, although to do so would impact many middle-class Americans as well as the wealthy, argues the homebuilding industry. Their lobby won't tolerate even a minor change in the mortgage interest deduction.
They contend that home ownership has taken the brunt of the decline in the nation's economy and is now only beginning to recover. Monkeying with mortgage deductions would throw housing back into a tailspin and with it the majority of homeowners in this country, according to housing advocates.
AARP, the top lobbyist for retirees, is also dead set against any spending cuts to Medicare and Social Security. Even minor changes such as slowing the cost-of-living formula for Social Security recipients or extending the age of Medicare eligibility is anathema to their constituency, retirees.
Wherever you look, from charitable contributions to energy depletion allowances, some group or another has a reason, sometimes rational, sometimes not, for why the axe should be spared in their case. It appears that where individual interests are concerned, posterity is taking a backseat among America's lobbyists and the populations and professions they represent. I suspect that if we expect our elected officials to compromise and avoid the Fiscal Cliff; Americans should first look at their own attitude toward compromise where our individual interests are concerned.

HomeOwnership Center
provides homebuyer and homeowner education and counseling and free foreclosure prevention help to residents.
I had the pleasure to both meet and work with Mrs. Brigitte from The IMPACT! Group starting early during the year 2011 to the present. She has really been patient and helpful during the past two and a half years while I have been modifying my mortgage. She has worked tirelessly with my mortgage company and exhausted each and every option. She has been a great help to me as well as an asset to The IMPACT! Group. She went above and beyond the call of duty many times by searching for new programs that may help me in my situation. I don't know what I would have done without her over these past two years.
From the heart,
Terri P
Other testimonials here
The IMPACT! Group came into my life at a time of loss and despair. I am a Marine Veteran who was homeless. Then I met Ms. Ebonie Brown and Ms. Sandy Burns. They gave me hope, a sense of peace, and most importantly, they listened.
Hard times started when I lost my job in May 2013. It would be 11 months before I found a job with a private firm, only to be caught in the first round of cuts due to downsizing 3 months later. Once the unemployment benefits were exhausted, I had nothing. No savings and nowhere to turn, and eventually I lost my home. In what seemed like the blink of an eye but felt like eternity, I went from making almost $40,000 annually to less than $20,000. Then I met Ebonie of the Gwinnett Veterans Resource Center and she led me to Sandy and The IMPACT! Group.
Before Sandy and I met, she was introduced to my story. So when we met, one of the first things she told me was she could help me. I felt the weight and burden lifting. Sandy helped me get into an apartment, provided assistance with furnishing my apartment, and helped with getting the utilities connected. What Sandy and The IMPACT Group did for me cannot be classified as help. They gave me a piece of my dignity back. The IMPACT Group means so much to me. They gave me a chance, and started me on the path to getting my life back, and for that, I will forever be eternally thankful and grateful.
If you would like to help us help our Veterans, or know of a veteran who needs help, please go to our website at www.theimpactgroup.org and select the "Support Us" tab or you can mail your tax deductible check to: The IMPACT! Group, 40 Technology Parkway, Suite 180, Norcross, Georgia 30092.

1993 Volkswagen Corrado Q&A
1993 Volkswagen Corrado Question: Oil Pressure Light
Hello all, My oil pressure light keeps coming on and I don't know why. The beeping is driving me CRAZY!!! I just changed my oil so I know it has the correct amount of oil in it. The oil pressure indicator does not drop below the 2 bar when above 2000 rpm so the pressure is correct according to the factory car manual. The multi-function Indicator on the dash is not giving me the Engine Oil Temp....do you think it's a sensor that is making this happen. PLEASE HELP!!!!! - Luv My VW
3 Answers
Answer 1
If the oil light wasn't coming on before the oil change, make sure you used the correct oil type. Using an oil different of a different viscosity than the manufacturer recommended oil can cause the light to come on. If the oil gauge is not reading at all, then you may have an electrical problem and the oil pressure may be OK. Make sure the wire to the oil pressure switch didn't become disconnected during the oil change. - Bret Bodas
Answer 2
If you're confident the oil pressure at 2200 rpm is above 22 psi , at operating temperature , you either have a failing high pressure switch , the one located on the head , or a failing control unit in the instrument cluster. Remove the electrical connector from the oil pressure switch and place a 12 volt test light between the switch and the battery positive post. The test light should be on. Start the engine , increase engine speed. The test light should go out at around 2200 rpm. If not , the SWITCH is bad. If it does go out you may well have a problem in the cluster. As a footnote when the test light is on or off , it should not flicker. If it does The SWITCH is bad. - spyder

Delgado decisions Valenzuela
By Jose E. Santiago
On Friday night in Atlanta, Shea Bailey Promotions delivered as promised with an exciting night of action packed boxing at the Center Stage Theatre. In the main event hometown favorite Paul "The Truth" Delgado (21-1 9, 4 KOs) cruised to a unanimous decision victory over cagey veteran Roberto Valenzuela (51-51-2, 42 KOs). Sporting a chiseled new physic due to a newly implemented strength and conditioning regimen, Delgado looked ripped once his corner peeled off his ring entrance garb. Although bigger and stronger Delgado did not lose his slick boxing ability, but did have the wherewithal to trade shots with the Mexican road warrior. (more…)

Q&A: Roberto Marroquin
By Jeff Zimmerman
At the Maple Ave Boxing Gym in Dallas, Texas, former U.S. national amateur champion and 2008 Olympic trials finalist Roberto Marroquin (12-0 9 KOs) gets taped up as he readies himself for his personal media day leading up to the event: Pacquiao vs. Clottey on March 13th at the Cowboy Stadium. There is no Jerry Jones, Michael Buffer or Cowboy cheerleaders anywhere to be found at this new gym just south of Dallas, but make no mistake; Marroquin is more than just a footnote for this mega event. In fact to many it's just a matter of time before he's a world champion. Top Rank Chief Bob Arum thinks so highly of him that he personally introduced him to the media and fans at the kick off press conference at Cowboy Stadium.

Zavala returns with win
Welterweight Ernesto Zavala (21-4, 8 KOs) defeated Oregon's Jason Davis (11-6-1) by way of third round TKO in a weltweight main event on Thursday night at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles, California. After an expected slow round one, Zavala began regularly connecting on Davis. The bout was stopped at the end of round three by the referee when Davis was unable to continue due to an apparent arm or shoulder injury. It was the first bout for Zavala in nearly five years. Legendary Trainer Freddie Roach worked the corner of Zavala.
In the co-feature, heavyweight Damian 'Bolo' Wills (27-2-1) stopped journeyman Billy Willis (12-19-1) by way of fourth round TKO. Craig Zimmerman's MEZ Sports promoted the event.

Fury destroys Blasko
By Alexey Sukachev
At Leisure Centre in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, UK, English heavyweight titleholder Tyson Fury (10-0, 8 KOs) scored another first-round TKO in a virtual mismatch against weak German Hans-Joerg Blasko (9-4, 6 KOs). Blasko was down after a huge body shot by Fury and was finished with a barrage of punches soon thereafter. Time of stoppage was 2:14 of the first.
Both local boy Gary Sykes and heated rival Andy Morris entertained a roaring crowd in the next edition of "War of Roses" between Yorkshire and Lancashire fighters. Bigger and stronger Sykes (15-0, 4 KOs) pressed forward throughout the entire fight while smaller but technically sounder Andy Morris (18-3, 6 KOs) used his skills and tried to box on distance rather than to battle in close quarters. At the end it turned out that Sykes was a better man tonight, cruising to a unanimous decision with scores 115-114 (twice) and 116-113. Fightnews scored this back-and-forth action a draw 115-115. Sykes is a new BBBofC British super featherweight titlist after this win.

Mike Jones returns April 17
Undefeated WBA #8, IBF #11, WBC #16 welterweight Mike Jones (20-0, 16 KOs), of North Philadelphia, will box in a scheduled 10-rounder, making the fifth defense of his NABA title on the April 17 card in Atlantic City's 10,000 seat Boardwalk Hall headlined by Kelly Pavlik's WBC/WBO world middleweight title defense against Sergio Martinez. Tickets are priced at $50, $100, $200, and $350. Call 215-765-0922.
Jones, 25, scored the biggest win of his career Feb. 27 when he earned a unanimous 10-round decision over former world-title challenger Henry Bruseles in front of a standing-room crowd at Bally's Atlantic City.
More on Povetkin-Mora
As reported yesterday, unbeaten heavyweight contender and IBF mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin (18-0, 13 KOs) will take on Javier Mora in Berlin on March 13. The 2004 Olympic gold medal winner will make his second fight under the guidance of star coach Teddy Atlas. In December, the 30-year-old Russian became the first man to knock out Leo Nolan, clinching a third-round KO victory in Ludwigsburg. To warm up for the hotly-anticipated showdown against Wladimir Klitschko, Povetkin needs to take care of business against Mora (22-3, 18 KOs) on the Huck-Richards card. "Everything can happen in heavyweight boxing, so I really need to be on alert," Povetkin said. "I will of course be entering the fight as the favourite since I had a very good amateur career and I am currently the IBF's number one. I will win this fight and show everybody that I am ready for Klitschko." (more…)
Cruz Control
When bantamweight Dominick Cruz speaks of the sacrifices he's made to get to Saturday's world title fight against champion Brian Bowles at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, you can tell that there's more at stake for him than a shiny gold belt. You quickly see that this isn't your typical "winning the belt is my dream" underdog story.
For the 24-year-old San Diego resident, Saturday's world title fight is an opportunity to change his life forever. Should Cruz win his first world championship this weekend, gone will be the days of eating Top Ramen to get by. Gone too will be the days of him sleeping on the floor on a worn-out mattress. If Cruz (14-1) is able to best unbeaten champion Bowles (8-0) on Saturday, he believes the life of hardship he's lived will be changed for eternity. (more…)
Honario facing another unbeaten
With a performance that resulted in a big win against previously undefeated hot prospect John Molina, Jr. back in November, NABF and WBO NABO Lightweight Champion Martin "El Brochas" Honorio showed the sellout crowd at Pechanga Casino & Resort and a worldwide audience on SHOWTIME a portrait of the boxer that he is and one determined to improve. On tonight's main event of ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights," the 30-year old Mexican buzz saw will be back at Pechanga focused on another unbeaten fighter in Wilton Hilario (12-0-1, 9KOs). This time, with a win, he will stake a claim to a place among the top five fighters in the lightweight division. (more…)
Nashiro-Cazares rematch 5/8
By Joe Koizumi
WBA super-flyweight champ Nobuo Nashiro (13-1-1, 8 KOs), Japan, will engage in a grudge fight with mandatory challenger Hugo "Increible" Cazares (30-6-2, 22 KOs), Mexico, in Osaka, Japan, on May 8. It was announced by Takashi Edagawa, the impresario of Mutoh Promotions. They put on a furious performance en route to a well-received split draw (116-112, 112-116, 114-114) in their first encounter there last September. Reviewing their fierce battle, we clearly remember Cazares swept the first half, while Nashiro the last half. Their rematch has been regarded as inevitable and highly anticipated to decide who the better man is. (more…)
Machimana to defend SA title
By Ron Jackson

Helenius to face Oloukun 3/26
Unbeaten heavyweight sensation Robert Helenius (11-0, 7 KOs) will return to the ring on March 26 when he takes on Gbenga "Bang Bang" Oloukun at the Töölö Sporthall in Helsinki, Finland. The 26-year-old comes off a string of spectacular KO victories, including an impressive eighth-round stoppage of former WBO Heavyweight Champion Lamon Brewster. "Robert has enormous potential," Team Sauerland sports director Hagen Doering said at a press conference in Helsinki on Thursday. "The fact that he stopped Brewster in just his 11th fight tells you something about his class. He has got what it takes to be a champion one day." (more…)

The food quality is very good. Service is very good, and the time of preparation is good also. The taste is great, and the overall experience is one of the best in Bohol!
I have been already different times in Prawn Farm restaurant. Everytime i was exiting with the food and the PRICE. I dont underst that some guest have always bad comments on some restaurants.
Had higher expectation based on the reviews.
Has the weekend buffer for p325. It was ok, standard fare.
Plus side, place is nice, clean, comfortable.
I really enjoyed the food atmosphere at this restaraunt, and the buffet was quite excellent. But I only saw my waiter once and they didn't bother refilling our drinks
Wow. Everything is great about this place. Food is sumptuous, the service is very good, it is clean and excellent value. If you are in Tagbilaran don't miss this place. It is somewhat out of the place if you are in Panglao.
We tried their buffet lunch and it was superb in value.. Shrimps, tuna, chicken, pork, fresh fruits and juices are overflowing.. If youre in for some food adventure this one gives such a great adventure.
We paid 16 USD for 2 fresh fruit shakes & 2 main courses.
Inside the shopping mall (3th floor).
Free Wi-Fi
Good selection of seafood.
The prices are fair.
The staff is friendly & English speaking.
We were at the Island City Mall for look around and found this restaurant at the mall by search at TripAdvisor. We ordered a platter with a variety of seafood and meat. It was very nicely presented and tasted very very good. The platter was so comprehensive that we worked hard in the end to working down it all -...
price is pretty reasonable. ate there twice - the first was ala carte orders and the second was eat all you can buffet. i actually prefer ordering ala carte because the servings are pretty big. the buffet had limited choices and at times, they ran out of food. good thing they immediately replenish the supplies
first when we saw the prawn farm restaurant in island city mall we thought its seafood only and thats not really what we like but we went inside to check their menu and surprise surprise they have much more than fish and prawns. the service is ok and they always bring complimentary water. give it a try

I absolutely love the 26 x 26 pillows I purchased for my king sized bed. They fit beautifully. I've had them a few weeks and usually use them to prop myself up in bed for reading. They've kept shape so far! They came nicely packed, clean bright white, and true to the picture. Good buy.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The pillow's color is white in the picture and bright white and clean looking when I recieved it.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. I purchased the 26 x 26 and they fit perfectly in my new shams. They're firm, not too oversized, and look beautiful on my king sized bed.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The sight discription was very accurate.
These are puffy and look like they will stay that way. They fill the shams out wonderfully well. I highly recommend them.
these pillows are rather stiff but that is exactly what I wanted. I will not use for sleeping so my goal was to find euro pillows that will add the decorative touch which these did.
Needed to fill square shams for new bedding. Perfect fit and nicely full. These are good pillows. I don't think pillows require a better review.
These euro pillows were true to size 26" They filled a 26" euro sham very nicely. The price was reasonable as well. Would definitey recommend this to someone looking for Euro Shams.
Quality okay. Expected better quality. Good size.
Same as any pillow, fluffy in the beginning then flat as a pancake after a few weeks!
Perfect size for my shams!
Purchased these for some European shams and they are nice and fluffy hold their shape and overall a great value.
Excellent pillow for what i need it for. Fluffy
we love our euro pillows!
It's a must have for your euro shams.
These were purchased to complete the bed in a box that no longer included them with the comforter. They fit the sham very well.
Very fluffy and fill the euro shams nicely!
I needed 3 Euro pillows, so I ordered two sets. Unfortunately, since the pillows can't be ordered individually, I am left with one extra Euro pillow that I don't know what to do with.
perfect for my bed. good quality
I used these Euro Square pillows for stuffers for my bedding collection. Very good quality and holds their shape
These were the right fit for my shams, I had purchased other the were either too big or not big enough. Who would of thought sizes would vary on the sham sizes.
Needed a pair to stuff shams. Works great. Fills shams pretty completely. Substantial so they don't droop. Was what I was looking for.
Loved that these pillows didn't cost a fortune since they are for decor purposes only

I've been going here 6+ years ...by raychelle.neff on 09/11/2012
I've been going here 6+ years and have had nothing but excellent service! Very attentive and thorough about everything. The facility is always clean and the staff at Indian Creek is awesome and always makes me feel welcome even though I'm not the patient! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new vet or looking to switch
No Animal Too Smallby clebsgirl on 09/10/2012
I took our sick Hamster to Indian Creek after I found that they are the only vet in town who will take such a small animal. She had wet tail from the pet store I bought her from. The doctor thoroughly examined her and came up with a treatment recommendation based on what I could afford. She had to do the complicated calculations of the antibiotic formula in the tiniest of amounts. Their prices were also very reasonable, and the staff was very friendly. I've also adopted a couple of kittens from them. My mother in law also boards her Berman cat there, and has been very happy. I would continue using their services.
I've been a client for over 12...by karma2674 on 09/10/2012
I've been a client for over 12 years. The doctors are very knowledgeable and the hospital is beyond well-equipped, and beautiful. As for the reviews below mine, I'm sorry for your frustrations and/or loss. In the future, if you feel something is off, go seek a second opinion or go to Medvet on your own. Veterinarians, just like human physicians, are not miracle workers and don't have all the answers.
