Although the UK economy is at last delivering growth, many SMEs realised a simple truth during the global financial : domestic markets cannot always be relied on, and exporting not only provides additional revenue – it can diversify risk.
The government is therefore setting industry a target of doubling exports to £1tn a year by 2020. While there is considerable doubt as to how realistic a target this may be, SMEs can at least be confident that help is on offer from government departments as a wave of new companies are encouraged to repeat domestic success in new markets.
For those who have already launched export drives, or who have helped others enter new markets, there are some very clear guidelines as to how an SME can maximise its chances of success.
1. "Is it a good idea?"
Sometimes the best advice may seem a little obvious but the simplest questions can often be the most searching. According to Rosana Mirkovic, head of SME policy at the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), an SME needs to bear in mind that what works at home may not work in another market.
"SMEs must assess the suitability of their goods and services for export," she urges. "It might be they don't have enough profit margin to absorb export costs, or they might need to be adapted to suit foreign laws or regulatory standards.
"You need to factor in how much time you will need to devote to getting exports off the ground and what impact that will have on your domestic market. Even language and cultural barriers, not to mention legal obstacles, in other markets need to be considered."
Mirkovic also suggests SMEs should take a look at the Small Business: GREAT Ambition initiative from the Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) which is helping small businesses break into new markets.
2. Trade advice
In addition to help from BIS or UKTI most SMEs will have a trade association they can go to for advice in their industry niche which has doubtless helped many companies in a similar position decide if exporting is for them.
Paul Alger, director of international business development at the UK Fashion & Textile Association believes that talking to your industry's association makes perfect sense for answering questions you may not have even realised you needed to ask.
"Trade associations are usually in the best position to flag up the problems the exporter will face," he says. "They may refer a company to customs and excise or the commercial department of the UK Embassy for the destination market. In most cases, though, they will know the answers. For example, here we know the restrictions for, say, snake skins going into markets like Japan and the USA."
3. Stamps, office or partner
If there appears to be a receptive market, the next big question is always going to be how to stimulate and fulfil demand. For the lone eBay buyer and seller this is probably no more of an issue than getting parcels weighed by the post office or courier. For a more ambitious plan to set up a local presence for the company, the big question is: what form should this take?
After looking at the option of a partnership or setting up new offices in unfamiliar markets, William Crawford of Concrete Canvas opted to tap in to local knowledge through deals with distribution partners who are already active on the ground.
"The hardest aspect of using a pure distribution model is finding the right partners," he says. "This is the single biggest factor in determining whether a market is successful. However, when you find the right partner and establish a good relationship, business can be very effective, efficient and enjoyable.
"For exporting without a local presence, my top tip is to find a distribution partner who is focused on your customer base, a good cultural fit with your business, and who understands your product and route to market."
4. Getting paid
Paul Bennett, managing director of Fascia Graphics, took the step of forming an export division at the membrane keyboard-maker 18 months ago. While it has been a hugely positive step, the main challenges he believes other SMEs should be aware of revolve around not just whether your product is right for another market but, crucially, getting paid.
This makes taking out credit insurance to protect against non-payment a good idea, as well as getting credit reference from other companies who have worked with a potential customer.
"Quoting and invoicing can be a particular challenge because of exchange rates and the fact that terminologies and specifications of products differ from country to country," he says.
"You need to understand and adapt to basic language barriers and different business cultures to avoid confusion. I'd recommend exporters make sure the details of any order are very clear, and check that you are both aware and have agreed on which currency you are quoting and selling in."
5. The legal bit
SME owners are naturally optimistic when it comes to new partners and opportunities but it always pays to ask the "what ifs" before a deal is done. That way you can ensure you are on a firmer footing when it comes to having goods accepted and paid for. Crucially, an SME also then knows whom it can turn to in order to seek redress.
Steve Beahan, partner at national law firm Irwin Mitchell, advises SMEs on exporting and finds that one of the most crucial points that many need to understand is whose law is going to apply to a deal.
"Exporting can be lucrative, but it can also lead to an increase in commercial disputes and these can be expensive and time consuming to resolve – especially for smaller firms who may be dipping their toe for the first time," he cautions.
"A business must at the beginning of the process ensure that its contract is watertight, ensure that it understands what jurisdiction covers the agreement, and check that its standard terms and conditions are up to date."

Casual industry names 2006 Lifetime Achievement honorees
June 5, 2006,
The Casual Furniture Retailers and the Summer and Casual Furniture Manufacturers Association announced Allen Swers and William Carlton "W.C." Vice will receive the 2006 Lifetime Achievement Awards.
Allen Swers
Swers helped found the outdoor furniture fabric industry in 1982 after coming across a Glen Raven awning and marine sample book. "I was amazed to learn that solution dyed acrylic fabrics carried a five-year warranty against fading in the sun," he recalled. After 29 years in the upholstery and drapery fabric industry, Swers saw an opportunity for outdoor fabric manufacturing. "At that time, only vinyl straps and woven PVC were used on outdoor furniture. I believed that a fabric with a soft hand that did not fade in the sun and that was easily washed, with better designs, would be ideal for the casual industry."
Swers recalled the half-hour meeting he arranged with the general manager of Glen Raven's custom fabrics division turned into a three-day summit. At the end, Sunbrella Furniture Fabrics was born.
Swers and his wife Renee designed new striped fabrics to correlate with the solids in Glen Raven's existing inventory. "At the 1983 Casual Market, my son Arthur and I were dressed in suits made of the same Sunbrella fabric on the chairs in our booth," Swers said. "We would smear mustard, ketchup and butter to show the trade that the fabric could easily be cleaned. I stapled a multi-colored piece of Sunbrella to a wood tongue depressor and put it in a jar of Clorox. The colors did not fade, and that convinced many attendees that, maybe, this product had some merit."
Acceptance was slow at first, but by the mid-1990s, the outdoor fabric business had exploded. Swers helped develop jacquards and dobbies, then prints, and, more recently, rib fabrics, linen weaves and dupiones.
Swers retired in May 2003 at age 82, ending more than two decades of innovation at Glen Raven.
W.C. Vice
W.C. Vice was born into a farming family in the small community of Carlisle, Ky., and began his career as an entrepreneur at age 21 with the purchase of a small grocery store. After operating the grocery for eight years, he joined Vogue Rattan Company in Lexington, Ky., where he spent the next decade moving up the ranks to vice president and director of sales - and developing a passion for the casual furniture industry.
At age 37, Vice left Vogue Rattan and opened his own casual furniture store in Lexington with his wife Betty. Casual Living and Patio Center now operates two stores in Lexington and two in Louisville with a total of 35 employees.
Vice was a charter member of the National Association of Casual Furniture Retailers and served as its first treasurer. His store has been nominated for the industry's prestigious Apollo Award for retailing excellence more than a dozen times and has won the honor twice, in 1974 and 1995.
In his community, Vice is an active member of Trinity Baptist Church of Lexington, serving at various times as deacon chairman, finance chairman and treasurer. Until recently, he and his wife delivered weekly meals to local shut-ins as part of the church's "Meals on Wheels" ministry. He retired from the business in 2005 after sustaining injuries in a fall at his home. His son, Carl, now runs the four stores, which also employ his two daughters, Linda and Lydia, along with a son-in-law and a granddaughter.
SCFMA, a division of the American Home Furnishings Alliance, is based in High Point, N.C. It represents more than 80 leading U.S. manufacturers of summer and casual home furnishings products.

How to Create a Winning Content Strategy - $39.00
When businesses provide content to consumers, it will either be relevant or it won't. It will either catch the attention of the readers/viewers or it won't. It will either close a deal or it won't. Because of this, it is essential that all businesses understand the purpose of a content strategy. With a good content strategy, businesses will be able to deliver content that won't be categorized as spam. Instead, it will make a reader/viewer stop for second, think about the information being consumed, and hopefully, it will persuade him or her to react in the way the business wants. This report will cover what a content strategy is, why it's important to have one, how to get started in creating your own strategy, establishing content goals, the importance of unique content, creating a content calendar, where to get content, budgeting, and more.

Is Genetically Engineered Food the Food of the Future?

Some in the aquaculture industry hope this will lead to an era of faster and more efficient fish production, making renewable (hence, they claim, more sustainable), omega-3-rich salmon even more widely available. Others—fishermen, health advocates and environmentalists—say that the new fish could pose threats to the environment and other fish and uncertainties for human health. One thing that both sides recognize: this is the likely beginning of a new era of foods from many different transgenic animals.
When and if this transgenic fish starts to appear in stores (perhaps as early as 2012, the company behind it, Massachusetts-based AquaBounty Technologies, hopes) it won't be immediately obvious to the average shopper since at present there is no law requiring a genetically engineered food to be identified as such. The genetically engineered (GE) salmon looks exactly like ordinary farmed Atlantic salmon. But this salmon is the culmination of decades of genetic research: it can grow to maturity (13 pounds) in two years, eats less per pound than the existing farmed Atlantic salmon and the salmon eggs are designed to grow into sterile females, thus reducing the risk of cross-breeding with wild populations.
As science, this is very cool. But as its somewhat goofy trademarked brand name indicates, AquAdvantage salmon isn't an experiment but a for-profit product. And its progress through the FDA's mostly secret review process has reignited a political battle.Next: A Transgenic Revolution »

Each day, your liver carries out more than 400 different functions that help you digest food, store nutrients, produce proteins and detoxify your body. Your kidneys use a specialized filtration system to continually purify your blood and produce urine. Both organs work diligently to keep you healthy, and each has specific nutrient requirements in order to function optimally.
Many of the functions that your liver performs each day involve production of proteins, particularly those that help with blood clotting and some that are part of the immune system. To support your liver and ensure sufficient protein production it is important to consume adequate high-quality protein in your diet. Animal foods, such as lean meats, fish, poultry and eggs provide complete protein, including all nine essential amino acids. Vegetarian sources of protein are abundant. However, with the exception of soy, most plants are lacking in one or more amino acids, so you must eat a variety of complementary sources throughout the day. You should consume about 20 to 25 percent of your daily calories as protein.
Brassica vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, cauliflower and collard greens contain anthocyanin antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress on the liver, according to a laboratory animal study published in the June 2012 issue of the "Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture." In the study, red cabbage extract significantly reduced signs of liver stress caused by a high-fat diet. Further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary results. Brassica vegetables also contain high levels of glutathione, an antioxidant the liver uses to detoxify the body. People who eat a lot of brassica vegetables tend to have lower rates of cancer, according to Thomas S.C. Li, author of the book "Vegetables and Fruits: Nutritional and Therapeutic Values."
Water is the most important nutrient your kidneys require to be healthy. Comprising only 0.4 percent of your body weight, your kidneys receive 25 percent of the blood supply, totalling about 180 liters of blood each day, from which 1 percent becomes urine. This continuous filtration process means that your entire bloodstream gets filtered about 60 times per day. If you are chronically dehydrated your blood becomes thick and concentrated with nutrients and wastes and your kidneys have to work harder to separate the two. Ultimately, kidney function and your health can suffer. However, according to Harvard Health Publications, scant evidence supports the commonly recommend eight glasses of water per day in addition to other fluids and water-containing foods. Rather, aim for that amount from all sources.
Prevent kidney stones by getting plenty of magnesium in your diet, according to Dr. James F. Balch, author of the book "Prescription for Natural Cures: A Self-Care Guide for Treating Health Problems with Natural Remedies, Including Diet and Nutrition, Nutritional Supplements, Bodywork and More." Magnesium works synergistically with calcium. If you are deficient in this mineral your body will eliminate calcium in the urine to keep levels of the two minerals balanced. Excess calcium filtration may increase your chances of developing kidney stones. Good sources of magnesium include green leafy vegetables, kelp, soy and almonds.

The brilliant colors of the epic sunrises and the remarkable scenery of the hazy morning sun slowly brightening up the tropical beaches served as the inspiration for Casa Akumal Sunrise.
This 2-bedroom oceanfront villa, built within a residential village in the south of Akumal will make you forget about the gray skies, lifeless downtown buildings and stress-filled days in a heartbeat.
Its bold, luscious décor, spacious airy rooms, and breath-taking views of the Caribbean are guaranteed to inspire an adventurous streak in you and make your vacation truly unforgettable.
With the 2,500 sq ft. of living space, a private infinity pool, and 40 feet of shaded beachfront patio Casa Akumal Sunrise is a perfect accommodation for families traveling with children, groups of 4 to 6 people and couples looking for a laid back, yet fun-filled Mexican vacation.
What's more, the owners live on-site in the second floor suite and are nearby if you need assistance or insider's advice on things to do and see in Akumal. They truly go out of their way to make you feel at home and cared for. We don't know a lot of properties where the owners leave freshly cut flowers and a complimentary bottle of wine to welcome their guests upon their arrival. These may be small details, but they set the mood for the rest of your vacation.
The lower floor of Casa Akumal Sunrise hosts a well-designed living room, a fully-equipped kitchen with modern appliances and a lovely breakfast nook, an entertaining area and two sun-filled bedrooms with king-sized beds and private baths. One of the bedrooms faces the tropical garden, while other opens up to a view of the beach and provides access to the beach patio.
Two additional single beds are cleverly located in a studio just off the living room and, when needed, are separated from the rest of the house by an elegant bamboo partition. The sliding doors, leading from the studio to the modern beach patio add an extra touch of comfort and privacy to this space.
During the day the studio becomes part of the living room and can serve as the entertainment point of the house, as a large flat screen TV and stereo located here.
The beach patio can also be accessed from the stylish living room, and, believe me, once you are outside, you will understand why this is the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee, family dinners or lunchtime snacks.
It is hard to beat the experience of savoring delicious Mexican food in the outdoor dining area, while enjoying the view of the Caribbean in the background.
And after a satisfying meal you might want to get a taste of a real 5-star Mexican siesta. What is 5-star Mexican siesta?
Just picture – a soft swinging seaside bed, suspended like a hammock and draped with sheer white fabric, a soft ocean breeze, a stunning view of the ocean… and absolute peace and tranquility. This is what a real siesta should feel like.
Aside from this area, you can also enjoy the other seaside hammocks which are located among the bent coconut trees.
But even this is not all…
The rooftop deck hosts a beautiful infinity pool that seems to disappear into the vast turquoise waters of the ocean. If you wake up early in the morning, grab a towel, a camera and head to the rooftop for a refreshing swim and one of the most precious gifts of nature – a breathtaking Caribbean sunrise!
There is no better place in the whole Riviera Maya to set the mood for the day as at Casa Akumal Sunrise.
So make sure that you add it to your inquiry as soon as possible!
We represent so many small, quaint facilities, privately-owned homes and we coordinate availability with local people. Add Casa Akumal Sunrise to your inquiry, we will get back with you, confirm availability and of course, answer any question you might have!

The stay was exactly what we were looking for, we needed to rest but also wanted to visit around, Tulum, his wonderful site, nice restaurants and beautiful beaches are 20 minutes to drive, as well as Puerto Aventuras (don't miss the dolphins) and Playa del Carmen. Also very good restaurants in the village of Akumal, which is a lovely place with a friendly beach ! The villa is located in a pretty and quite place in front of the sea. It is very well cleaned every day. The rooftop pool has amazing views on the sea and the jungle. And finally, the owners are charming persons. We surely will go back there !

Our family of 6 spent 6 nights at Casa Akumal. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was amazing.
We loved being able to step right out the back door onto the beach. We had our own private stretch of sand with plenty of places to lounge. The beach has a lot of coral, so I recommend wearing water shoes. The waves are calm enough for snorkeling and the kayak was lots of fun.
The house is close to area attractions: We went to Xel-Ha (one of the highlights of our trip), X-Cacel (a turtle preserve with good body-surfing waves), and Tulum and Coba.
The owner was super helpful with any concerns or questions we had. Would love to return some day!

it has been the sixth time in the same villa. As always ... super bien...

Fabulous! We are frequent travelers to the Caribbean and this was our first visit to Mexico. The Villa location is outstanding. Directly on the beautiful Caribbean Sea and the flora and fauna more than rival any of the Caribbean island locations we've visited ( most recently St. Lucia, Vieques and Turks & Caicos). The Villa itself is even more inviting than the photos. Falling asleep to the sounds of the Ocean. The rooftop pool is so unique and was one of our favorite places to enjoy at sunrise and sunset. Simply spectacular! Finally, the owners who live upstairs are a wonderful couple with their Dog Iftar. Our stay would not have been so fabulous without them. Thank you for everything you have done for us! Akumal and Akumal Sunrise is now the vacation place of choice for our Family. Simply Wonderful! Did I also say fabulous???

The house, the property, the location were perfect. We unfortunately hit a week where it was cloudy and rainy all week. That said, there couldn't be a more beautiful spot to be in the rain.
By: Missy Hatlestad
We were very pleased with the rental property and the area. It was beautiful and quiet. The pool was amazing. It worked out really well for us because our son is only 2 and he couldn't get to the pool without an adult. The beach is rocky but we could still swim and kayak without any problems. The kitchen is poorly stocked as far as cooking utinsels but Jorge (from next door) cooked for us and he was awesome. He turned our great trip into an unforgettable vacation! We would absolutely stay here again and would certainly request to have Jorge cook for us again. The location is perfect for tourist things like Xelha and Xcaret but it is quite a ways from cancun and the airport.

The beach is just fantastic and it is a truly luxurious experience to be able to stay so close to it. The house is decorated with good taste although some things could be replaced or remodeled. The couple who take care of the house were very nice and gave us great recommendations.

Casa Akamal Sunrise is a very comfortable villa right on the beach in the quiet southern end of Akumal. It sleeps 6 very comfortably and has a sensational infinity pool on the roof which makes for an absolutely wonderful vacation spot. Warmly recommended! You can walk along the beach or drive to Akumal center, and Tulum is 20 minutes away by car.

Volkswagen Tiguan Questions
Get answers to questions about your Volkswagen Tiguan at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
Mechanical doing routine maintenance suggested I get new brakes
change battery now car wont start and parking brake malfunction light came on
water pump replaced at 65000m & leaking again 73000m. dealer says engine head oil leak caused second failure; should I fix the car and sell it - don't want to replace pump every year
I currently scratched my front passenger side bumper and am wondering whether it'll rust if I don't get it fixed.
Every time I turn my car off it makes weird loud rushing noises.
This happens whenever I go from a low speed to 20-30 mph higher quickly
I brought my car into the dealer because of a hesitation while accelerating (going up hills or merging onto the highway) otherwise it drove fine. VW is saying that I need to replace the tiptronic switch (by replacing the entire shift assembly) quoting over $2000 - and now 1 day after leaving it with the dealer it is stuck in 1st gear and will not let me remove the key while in park. This all seems crazy to me, is this a normal price?
If this is a known problem why isn't it being looked into like the diesel problems vw is addressing and have known about and looking at this problem as being a scandal as well.
The ECP light is on along with the engine light. The car loses Power and starts jerking around when I try to accelerate.
Yesterday, my car has been replaced front brake drums and pads.
After that, I could hear a clicking noise from front wheel at lower speed on bumpy road(never heard before).
While I did test-driving with a mechanic, he told me they loosened some part, but another guy come to me and told me that I have to replace a shocker.
Please help me, Do I have to replace shocker?
if the car is starting (up to 80km/hour), can the root cause be 3 injectors and ECU defects?
Thanks for your advises,
what could be the problem now. This car has been in the shop way too many times since i bought it
This is not the first time this has happened. Car was running just fine, when it was parked, got in it to go somewhere, EPC light came on, almost no power. recently had throttle body redone.
Also just beginning to smell burnt oil. 90,000+ miles. Any idea on a fix? Im thinking PVC valve replacement after research.
And what is fair price for each
Gear stock in 1 position.. Wouldn't engage in reverse. Spanner icon flashes in dashboard
Noticed half quart low after 5,000 miles at oil change
Shop cleaned off engine told me to monitor level 2 weeks and return so they can locate where it's coming from. I will return next week to the shop. Has any other tiguan owners had this problem?
I have a 2009 VW Tiguan 2.0TDI. After a recent recall for a fuse and counterbalance, our tiguan started to randomly stall whilst driving. It was like no fuel was getting through to the injectors. After inspecting the fuel filter housing it was noted that there were an excessive amount of metal shavings around the top of the fuel filter housing. it was cleaned out and the problem when away temporarily. The car hasn't stalled since but this time the o ring at the top of the housing has gave out and yet again more filings were found on the inside of the housing and in the engine bay. I would like to know what might be causing these filings, where should I start to look
My check engine light was on. I took vw 09 in to get checked and they said it was one of the cylinders however I would have to replace all 4 because usually after one is replaced the others start to go out?
My check engine light was on. I took vw 09 in to get checked and they said it was one of the cylinders however I would have to replace all 4 because usually after one is replaced the others start to go out?
The vehicle is 2 years old and has barely been used - under 5000 km. (A courtesy check / top up of the engine was done at the dealership last year). It is parked most of the time. I have been using it for 2-3 weeks. When you touch the inside of the exhaust pipe, you get wet black soot / oil residue on your finger? Is it something serious or would a good long drive at high revs clear it and get the engine running OK.
I bumped the paki g brake switch on the center consul one day and the parking brake came on and stayed on I checked the fuse band it is ok
I have electric calipers I need to push the plunger on the caliper back in
so it fits over the new brakes.
Heavy rain. Night. Windshield all fogged up
I had front brake work done just about a month ago and this noise is just now occurring. The clicking noise happens when i apply the brakes but its not every time. Please help me understand this annoying noise.

I have primed several times on my progressive where the case got messed up in the deprimer and became unusable. I have deprimed probably 50 primers without incident and used them again, without incident. It isn't safe but it does work. This is all completely anecdotal but carries more weight that "I've never done it and that's why I've never had an accident". The question you have to ask yourself is "are you prepared for the consequence if something goes wrong?" That's pretty much the question to all of life's situations. Are you able to accept the consequences?
While I agree that the manuals all say one thing. That doesn't necessarily mean it can't be done that way. Many manuals cover their ass. I do not agree at all that if it was OK the manual would say so. Liability is a *****.
Are you guys actually going to tell me that you do exactly what every manual says for everything you have used or own? Everything?

The St. Louis Rams will be without quarterback Sam Bradford for the remainder of the 2013 season after he tore his left ACL. He is expected to be placed on injured reserve sometime this week. Bradford was legally pushed out of bound by Carolina safety Michael Mitchell . The former Sooners QB landed awkwardly on his knee while falling to the ground.
Fantasy Analysis:
Not only is the 2013 season in big trouble for the Rams, their future is up in the air as well. Bradford has one of those big, bloated, pre-lockout contracts that has him owed $14 million in 2014 and nearly $13 million in 2015. The Rams have two first-rounders to work with next year and the early talk suggests this will be a big QB year. Do the Rams stick with Bradford coming off a long ACL rehab or do they move in a new direction to save money and start fresh? We shall see. This is a big loss to the Rams' receivers who will now have to rely on QB Kellen Clemens .

Like Some Birds On A Wire -
Heywood & Donna's Studio(see more by this artist)
Leonard Cohen's voice is serenading me today - palette knife rendition of some drunks in a midnight choir - or of some birds - parrots? - on a wire, trying in their way to be free.
Bird On A Wire - Aaron Neville and
Leonard Cohen
Like a bird on a wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a babe, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Oh like a bird on a wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

YOC will be charged with selling the two impressionable media slots on each of the main section and article pages to media agencies and advertisers.
The new mobile sites follow the launch of Deal Monster, the Johnston Press answer to daily deals websites including GroupOn, which will offer deals such as paying £15 for a £30 meal at Divino Italian restaurant in Adel, Leeds.
The new sites have been specially designed to suit smartphones, in both their screen size and functionality, and will feature news, sport, lifestyle and content from local communities, including video.
Henry Faure Walker, digital and business development director at Johnston Press, said: "The launch of these mobile sites is another big boost for our local digital output.
"There is clearly massive audience growth on mobile and we are intent on taking advantage of this by having the leading local mobile content and advertising offer in each of our markets."
Faure Walker said Johnston Press had "a number of other mobile initiatives in the pipeline", which will follow in early 2012.
To see an example of the mobile sites, visit m.yorkshirepost.co.uk.
Johnston Press appointed former Microsoft chief as Ashley Highfield as its chief executive in July and its digital revenues grew 4.4% year on year in the 18 weeks from the start of July, although together print and digital ad revenues declined by 8% year on year.

loveishkalsi saidWhat will you do if envato ship has really sunken?
RomanP saidLooks like the Envato Ship is sinking
DDoS attacks, invisible portfolios, slow site loads and now Customers can not check our items and make a deposit This is hilarious. Happy Birthday Envato
Looking for other markets
Envato is loosing business to its competitors. The reason is that they are giving great offers to affiliates. For example one of the biggest competitor of themeforest is giving 10% of every item purchased to the affiliates for one year. That's huge if we compare to themeforest's one time commission.
Envato lost in competition because their strategies are too old and if they continue like this then there will be only those five people left with the top 5 items.

It used to be only one or two days for review last year. But from last few months it became 5 days for review. Now we see the items are being reviewed on 12th day after submission. I just want to confirm that is it the permanent scenario or we can see some change in this. And if its not permanent then how long it will take to get things back on track?
Congrats to the Winners

I have a mildewy type smell that comes out of my AC when I first turn it on. Someone had posted a product on her before, but I can't seem to find it. You sprayed it in the vents.
I also heard lysol. I will try changing the cabin filter, to see if that helps.
Does anybody have any off the self products that could fix this?

Supreme Court Issues Ruling In Favor of Stephens Co. Over Road Controversy
The Georgia Supreme Court has overturned a lower court's ruling requiring Stephens County to maintain a road it had chosen to abandon.
In a unanimous ruling issued last week, the Georgia Supreme Court overturned a 2011 Stephens County Superior Court ruling that overturned the county's decision to abandon Winding Bluff Road and required the county to repair and maintain the road.
Winding Bluff Road was built by KM Development Corporation and Stephens County Commissioners accepted the road in 2007. It is located off of Summit Ridge Drive, just west of Toccoa.
According to court documents, the road began to suffer heavy damage after heavy rains in both August 2008 and September 2009.
County commissioners voted to abandon the road in 2011.
Former County Administrator John Rutan said in 2011 that the road was not safe for public use, the expected cost to make it safe was $600,000 to $800,000 and the public was not using the road. He also claimed the road's failure was primarily attributable to improper construction by the developer.
Developers said county staff had concerns in 2007, but the county still accepted the road. They also say they did not mislead the county about the road and claim the county's failure to maintain the road once it was accepted has contributed to its poor condition.
In October 2011, a Superior Court ruling stated that the commission's decision to abandon the road was an abuse of discretion and not in the public interest and the court ordered the county to repair and maintain the road.
In its ruling, the state Supreme Court said that the county commission had enough evidence to support its decision and that there was no basis for the Superior Court to issue that ruling, adding that the conclusion of the Superior Court that abandonment was not in the best public interest inappropriately substituted the court's view of the evidence and public interest for that of the county commission.
The Supreme Court also remanded the case back to the Superior Court to address a number of counterclaims made by the county against the developers.
Motions for reconsideration must be filed by Friday, according to court documents

'Amaizing' Sounds - Fred Jackson
Fred Jackson is in his 23rd season as an assistant coach with the Wolverines. He is the team's running backs mentor and works with the kickoff returners. Jackson was associate head coach from 2003-07 after serving six seasons as assistant head coach.
Jackson was recognized for his coaching skills in 2001 with his selection as the American Football Coaches Association National Assistant Coach of the Year for Division I-A. In addition, Jackson was a finalist for the 2000 Broyles Award given to the nation's outstanding assistant coach.
He has coached five All-Big Ten running backs at Michigan, led by three-time all-conference first team honoree Tyrone Wheatley (1992-94) and two-time performer Mike Hart (2004, 2006). Anthony Thomas (2000) and Chris Perry (2003) were All-Big Ten first team selections and Tshimanga Biakabutuka earned second-team honors in 1995. Thomas and Hart received distinction as Big Ten Freshman of the Year award winners.
Jackson's running backs have led the league in rushing four times during his tenure and surpassed the 1,000-yard barrier 12 times, including Fitzgerald Toussaint in 2011. Perry (2003) and Hart (2004) became the first teammates to lead the league in rushing in back-to-back seasons since 1982-83, pacing the Big Ten in both overall and conference play.
Eight of Jackson's running backs have been selected in the NFL Draft, including three first-round draft choices: Wheatley (17th in 1995), Biakabutuka (eighth in 1996) and Perry (26th in 2004). Thomas was an early second-round pick of the Bears in 2001 and went on to become the 2001 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year as selected by the Associated Press. Jackson's 1997 national championship starting backfield of Chris Howard and Chris Floyd were both drafted, with Clarence Williams making the Arizona Cardinals roster as a free agent. B.J. Askew was a third-round draft pick of the New York Jets in 2003.
Three of Jackson's tailbacks have been finalists for the Doak Walker Award, presented to the nation's outstanding running back. Chris Perry won the award in 2003 and both Anthony Thomas (2000) and Mike Hart (2006-07) were one of three finalists for the award.
Jackson served two seasons as the offensive coordinator (1995-96). He has been the team's running backs coach since joining the staff.
Before joining the Michigan staff in 1992 under Gary Moeller, Jackson had coaching stints at Vanderbilt (1991), Purdue (1989-90), South Carolina (1988), the U.S. Naval Academy (1987), Wisconsin (1982-86) and Toledo (1979-81).
Jackson made his first appearance in the Big Ten, coaching five seasons under Dave McClain at Wisconsin (1982-86). He served as the Badgers' offensive coordinator, quarterbacks and wide receivers coach during his tenure. While at Wisconsin, Jackson coached NFL All-Pro Al Toon of the New York Jets. He began his collegiate coaching career in the Mid-American Conference, serving three years as the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks and wide receivers coach under Chuck Stobart at Toledo (1979-81).
A native of Baton Rouge, La., Jackson was an all-conference quarterback at Jackson State (Miss.) after leading the conference in passing during his senior season. He earned his bachelor of science degree from Jackson State in 1972 and added his master of arts degree from Michigan in 1975.
Jackson started his coaching career at Flint Southwestern High School (Mich.), where he coached future Wolverine four-year starting quarterback Rick Leach. Jackson was also the head track coach and an assistant football coach at the start of his high school coaching career. He coached a pair of state championship track teams (1975 and 1977) and was the coach of the year in 1977. Jackson was inducted into the Flint Afro-American Hall of Fame in February 2010.
Jackson and his wife, Teresa, reside in Ann Arbor. They have two sons, Jeremy and Joshua. Jeremy was a wide receiver at Michigan from 2010-13.

Juniors Earn AVCA Honorable Mention All-America
Dec. 12, 2012
Louisville, Ky. – Juniors Jeane Horton and Xitlali Herrera are named to the 2012 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division I All-America team.
The duo becomes the second and third Miners in program history to earn a spot in the Honorable Mention All-America team. Kari Stacy was named to the squad in 2005.
Horton started in all 29 matches this season in the Orange and Blue. Horton is ranked 25th in the nation in points per set (4.92) and 28th in kills per set (4.3). She not only leads the team in kills, but also secured the No. 2 spot in the UTEP recordbook for total kills (469) registered in a single season. She rates second on the team in hitting percentage (.296) and third in blocks (79).
The outside hitter recorded double-digit kill performances in 28 out of 29 matches, including a career-high 23 against Rice. She has totaled five 20 or more kill performances this season and ranks first all time for hitting percentage in five sets (.567-Fresno St.) and second for hitting percentage in four sets (.633-Southern Miss). Horton was named AVCA All-Region, All-C-USA first team honoree, C-USA Offensive Player of the Week and was selected to three All-Tournament teams during her 2012 campaign.
Herrera is an all-around competitor and is the only C-USA player that is a middle blocker and plays all six rotations. She has started in all 29 matches this season and leads the team in hitting percentage (.300) and is second in kills (333), digs (290), blocks (101) and aces (20). She helped UTEP secure the No. 62 spot in the nation for hitting percentage (.236).
Herrera has registered 10 double-doubles this season for UTEP, including an impressive 17 kills and 15 digs versus Tulsa where she led the squad's defense and offense. She has earned three spots in the UTEP recordbook for hitting percentage in three sets (.647-4th), hitting percentage in four sets (.556-3rd) and (.542-4th). The middle blocker has totaled 10 or more kills in 19 matches and 10 or more digs in 15 matches during her 2012 campaign. This season, Herrera was named C-USA Defensive and Offensive Player of the Week and received C-USA All-Academic honors. The junior concluded the season, as she became the second Miner in program history to earn back-to-back All-C-USA first team honors and be named to the All-Region team.

Chevy 350 with 292 cam Total timing
Hello. I have a Question on timing. im new to this Vac adacne timing and total timing stuff, but then again im only 17 lol. but i have a 350 bored 60 over with a summit 292/292 duration .488/.488 lift. and edelbrock intake and 650 holley and mds STREETFIRE HEI distruibter. my question is. I have it at 8 degrees for timing. but now from what i been reading i might need more than that? the motor seems kinda ball less if someone could tell me step by step on how to time this thing. it would be great. somone said my totaly timing should be 34 degrees? is that with the vaccum adavace hooked up? or without. and at what rpm should be running? 3000? i didnt get any specs with the cam from summit. I guess maybe if i bought a comp cam or lunai or somitng i would of. but any help would be great..
You need waaaay more initial than that. I would guess 18-22 degrees initial, with 34-36 total, depending on your heads.
17, don't worry about it; I have it on good authority it's something you'll out grow.
There are reasons why large cammed engines need high compression and lots of ignition advance. These have to do with chemistry and physics of the fuel, air and structural sizes and shapes on the engine. These are the same constraints everywhere which is why you see so much commonality in tune up specs across engines of different manufacturers.
I guess the place to start is the time available for the burn to happen most effectively. To this end the RPMs of the engine is the great arbiter setting the available time for the sparkplug to initiate the burn and the time it takes for the burn to go to completion. While happening in milli-seconds it is by no means instant and many factors will affect the qualities of the burn.
There is a phenomena that occurs where as the mixture density goes up so does the speed of the burn. By mixture density I mean the number or weight of reactant molecules (fuel and air) trapped in the cylinder. Air and vaporized gasoline are whats called perfect gasses. In gaseous form these materials expand to fill the available space of the container they're in. A gasoline powered engine is whats called a partial pressure engine, which is to say it's throttled. The position of the throttle blades establishes how much volume and weight of reacting products can get into the cylinder. At low RPMs and a mostly closed throttle not much, at high RPMs and/or an open throttle a lot.
Since the burn speed is directly related to the mixture density, when the density is low an advance needs to be applied to get the mixture burnt at the optimum point of piston position in the time allowed by the RPMs. This then requires methods of applying a spark advance, usually for RPMs below 3000. Because the burn speed increases with mixture density, it turns out that for the most part above 3000 RPMs the mixture burn speed naturally increases at a rate sufficient to be continuously optimal as the RPMs raise beyond 3 grand.
The camshaft has a major effect on mixture density as does the throttle position of the carb or injector throttle body. For different reasons, but the affect on mixture density is the same. This is to say that as the cam becomes more radical the mixture trapped in the cylinder at lower RPMs becomes less dense thus it needs more compression and ignition advance. As RPMs increase with a radical cam a ram effect begins to assert itself forcing the mixture density trapped in the cylinder to increase. So this presents the problem of developing enough spark advance below 3000 RPM to get the low density mixture burnt in the available time. So this requires starting the burn much earlier than would be desirable in a less cammed engine.
The effect that causes a low density mixture at low RPMs with a radical cam is the result of the overlap period where the exhaust and intake are both open and the late point where the intake valve is closed while the piston is rising. These cam timing events at low speed allow the exhaust pressure to blow the intake charge back out the carb and to let the rising piston do the same. These events are a major part of what's called reversion. Both events lower the density of mixture to be trapped in the cylinder and may pollute that charge with exhaust gases as well. This results in a mixture that is hard to light off and slow to burn when it does. These events give rise to the staccato exhaust sound of an engine with a radical cam in it.
The fixes are to get the compression up and to apply much more ignition advance much sooner in the RPM range. Another great help is a multi-strike ignition as these apply upward of 3 to 5 sparks at low RPMs greatly increasing the chances of getting the mixture to burn, thus avoiding misfires.
An engine has two compression ratios we need to be concerned about. The Static Compression Ratio (SCR) is that established by the dimensions of the cylinder and combustion chamber divided by the dimensions of the combustion chamber. There is also a Dynamic Compression Ratio (DCR) which is the static ratio adjusted for the moving effects of the cam timing and rod length ratio against the SCR. You want to keep the DCR in the range of 8 to 8.5 with today's street fuels. Here is a calculator; http://www.kb-silvolite.com/calc.php?action=comp
The other issue is ignition advance. This is typically a three part equation where there is a static amount of advance and two devices that create a variable amount of advance. These parts being the static or base amount and those variables applied by vacuum or centrifugal. Increasingly the latter pair are being replaced by computer calculated electronic controls as this is much more responsive than mechanical controls to more situations than I'll address here.
The vacuum advance is a way to provide advance to the load on the engine while centrifugal is way to apply advance in concert with RPMs. In simple terms a normal car cruises at high speeds using low RPMs and not much throttle opening. This creates, based on what I've discussed in the previous paragraphs, a low density mixture trapped by the cylinder which needs a lot of burn time to complete. Since the throttle is mostly closed the manifold vacuum is high and this is used against a spring loaded diaphragm to increase the ignition advance for optimum power and fuel burn efficiency at these conditions. As the throttle is opened manifold vacuum decreases along with it the amount of advance. This assumes that engine RPMs will increase as the throttle is opened and the centrifugal system will advance the spark. An obvious hole in the logic of this system is pulling a load or climbing a grade where the throttle is advanced but not the RPMs so the vacuum advance is lost, but not replaced by any centrifugal until the transmission is down shifted. This is a hole that computerized timing can cover as a third component of strain on the transmission output shaft can be measured with a strain gauge and that data inputted to the computer can be used to optimize the ignition timing for the RPMs and load.
Here again as the cam becomes more radical, the manifold vacuum goes down with no change in RPM to compensate, so the base setting is usually increased while a like amount has to be removed from the vacuum system if its used and from the centrifugal to keep the combinations of base and variable from over advancing the ignition which will drive the cylinders into detonation and/or pre-ignition.
Radically cammed engines pose a tuning issue with vacuum advances as units made for grocer getter cars tend not to adjustable, these depend a lot vacuum to operate and a big cam isn't making the necessary vacuum so these units become ineffective for our purposes. Adjustable units are available from the aftermarket and can be tuned to operate with a large cam in an engine that cruises on small throttle opening and low RPMs. If your application doesn't fit this scenario, its just as well to fore-go vacuum advance and either drive the static further ahead or soften the centrifugal so it comes in sooner in the rev range. Finding which is best is a tuning function for your total vehicle configuration and where you live topography and environmental factors. The detonation limit is what controls how much and what combinations will work best.
I.E. lean mixture burns slower
rich mixture burns faster
lean mixture needs more timing adv
richer mixture(at or close to stoich.)needs less timing adv.
Thus the vacuum advance!!
Alright guys. let me know what you think. used a advance timing light. Total timing at reved rpm is 40. at idel. with Vac advance hooked up is 23. and without vac advance hooked up its 8. now what do i do? is that good?
an other thing, What does the adjustment on the vacuum canister do? advance the timing.? i think i have it like two turns out but i dont understand what it does? make the advance come in faster? or later? or either? thanks guys u been a big help
QUOTE You need waaaay more initial than that. I would guess 18-22 degrees initial, with 34-36 total, depending on your heads.
im talking about timing without the advanced hooked up. its at 8. and with the advance hooked up at idel its 23 sound right?
and the reved timing was takin with the mark on the 0 is that correct? with the light set on 40. and it was right on the 0 mark. am i suppto use the 0 or 8? maybe thats why my numbers are high.? i thought i read somewhere i read from 0 but im not sure. well thanks guys again
Disconnect & plug the Vacuum line to Distributor. Set the Initial timing BTDC/BeforeTopDeadCenter, now check Total = Initial + Mechanical timing using 0*. All in by 2500rpm-3000rpm. You want 34*-38*, you may have to limit the mechanical advance inside the Distributor if you have more than the above #.
Don't worry about the Vac advance timing being higher right now. Adjusting the Vac cannister limits the amount of timing added, some Vac cans limit amount and at what Vac level it starts.
You will need to try different Initial & Total & Vac timing settings.
yup, need 3500 stall, im not going to tell you what gears to run, 373's and up, recurve the dis, and it will run good at 16 int timing...
First let me tell u F bird is right
But if u must do something, do this
With vacumm adv. defeated
Hook up ur timing lite bring eng up to 3500 or so adv dizzy until you see 36 deg.
Back to idle
36 to 38 is all the adv u should run, so now its gonna run like crap at idle,\.
This will prove to u what he is trying to say to u.
Step 2......
Take distributor out re-curve to get 10 deg mech adv.
Re-install dizzy bring engine up to 3500 time 36 total with vacumm defeated
You should wind up with 26 deg at idle
But I dont think u r gonna like this with a stock converter
Oh i almost forgot, read up on the above mentioned article and hook up your vac adv.
Hey. Are u sure pointer is right? Do u have timing tape on damper?
what do you mean take the distrubter our and recurve it? how do i go about doing that?
and why do you guys say i wont like the stock stall converter? im not sure if its the stock one but it came out of a 1985 k10 that somone put a 350 in and a th350 so i got the tranny and stall.? i just got done a install on that transmission cause my 700r4 crapped out. and now u guys are saying im gunna have to take the tranny back out? what would be better with a 3500 stall? i dont know nothing about stall converts thats why im askin. just wondering what would happen with the wrong stall? truck wont have alot of power? or somting?
A stock Converter has a low rpm stall rating about 1600-1800rpm max.
It doesn't slip enough allow the engine rpms to get into the reccomended rpm range of your Cam. Which is 2800-6300rpm. It will give "very" poor take off performance.
Nate, what nobody is telling you yet is that you screwed up and put too much cam in the motor. That cam needs at least 10.5:1 static compression ratio to work right. That's why the motor is, as you said, ball-less. Until you tear into the motor and determine the static compression ratio and install a cam that matches up to whatever static compression ratio you have in the motor, it will be a nightmare that you have to live with.
You're being told to use a looser converter because the cam doesn't begin making power until 3000 rpm's. Any motor speed under 3000 is gonna be doggy. We use a looser converter so that when we wood the loud pedal, the motor spins up past the dead zone (idle-3000) and gets into a zone of rpm's where the motor is making some horsepower. The looser converter will also prevent the "banging" into gear from neutral due to the increased idle speed required with a long cam.
I'm sorry that you didn't find out about the "too much cam" syndrome before you began buying parts, but at least you will now learn from some fellows on this board how to do it right next time.
Bottom line in my opinion: Yank the cam out, pull the heads and determine what the actual static compression ratio is. Only then can you intelligently choose a cam for the motor. Don't feel bad about this. All of us have done it at one time or another. I was just a couple years older than you when I stabbed a very long cam into a 1500cc VW, a cam with 122 degrees of overlap. What I had done was to install a cam in an 8.00:1 motor that should have been installed in a 12.0:1 motor. The motor wouldn't pull the hat off your head under 3500. Over 3500, a stock 1600 would hand me my *** on a plate.

The truth of the matter is this: Carolina doesn't have a 6'6, 260-pound scout team quarterback. It's a problem you run into when preparing to play Virginia Tech and dynamic junior Logan Thomas. There is one 6'6, 260-pound Tar Heel on the roster, but Kareem Martin is a defensive end. So the Tar Heels had to rely on film study and the experience of having played against Thomas a year ago in Blacksburg. As they always do, the scout team presented looks and schemes based on Hokies film, but there's nothing to simulate the physical presence of Thomas.
"I don't know how you can unless we put (tight end Eric) Ebron back there, because he's that big," said Tar Heel quarterback Bryn Renner, a friend of Thomas's. "You add the rocket arm that he has to Beron, and that would probably be what it's like as far as fast, and able to break tackles and stuff."
"You don't (simulate it). You just put a quarterback back there and hope that you're ready for it on Saturday," Martin said. "You just have to know what to expect when you go out there on Saturday. He's a bigger guy that you have to wrap up, because he breaks tackles real easily."
A 2011 second-team All-ACC selection, Thomas hurt the Tar Heels with his arm and legs a year ago on that Thursday night in Blacksburg, bookending a 23-yard touchdown run with a pair of scoring passes in a 24-21 Hokies win. "I think the big thing this year is to try to keep him contained," Martin said. "If we can get him down and keep him contained, then we'll be pretty successful."
Virginia Tech comes in to Chapel Hill at 3-2 on the season. The two teams that have beaten the Hokies, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, have made Thomas uncomfortable passing the ball. In those two losses, Thomas is 31-61 with five interceptions and just two passing touchdowns. To have success Saturday, Carolina will have to have good coverage in the secondary and force bad throws. "I know we're going to have to cover very well, so we can get a couple of coverage sacks," safety Darien Rankin said. The combination of pressure up front and good work in the defensive backfield has resulted in eight sacks and four interceptions in the last two games for the Tar Heels.
Martin thinks that the 4-2-5 defensive scheme installed in 2012 can help Carolina neutralize Thomas. "We're going to be doing a lot more movement, so I think it's going to take their line a little bit of time to adjust to us," he said. It's a chess game that take place prior to the snap. "We're talking, we're reading and their shifting everybody into place, so there are going to be a lot of audibles probably right before the play."
Just as Carolina has watched film on the Hokies, Virginia Tech no doubt has studied the Tar Heels' tendencies. So on Saturday, each team will try to prod the other to show something that they have recognized on film. "We like to show something. We migh tbe bluffing sometimes, or we might not," Rankin said. "We would like to show it the same way every time, so they won't know what we're in."
Linebacker Tommy Heffernan said they key to success on Saturday will be playing 'assignment football.' It sounds simple: just do your job and trust your teammates to do theirs. But it can be tempting to make a jump or try to make play. Sometimes, that works out. Other times, however, a vulnerability gets exposed. Not everyone can rush the quarterback every time. "There are certain assignments where certain people have to be back," Heffernan said. "The play is that way, but you have to make sure you're in the gap, because that cut back is coming. You don't know if he's handing it off, or what, so just knowing what to do is the most important thing."
Carolina has played five games against five different quarterbacks, from the small but super-athletic Teddy Bridgewater of Louisville, to the pocket passer Tanner Price of Wake Forest, to the 6'5 Dominique Blackman of Idaho. But they haven't seen a quarterback with the combination of size, skill and complementary pieces that Virginia Tech has in Thomas. On Saturday, they'll find out if that preparation has paid off.Turner Walston is the managing editor of Tar Heel Monthly.
