Tourism is one of the most important and largest industries on the planet. It employs more people worldwide than any other, with millions of families relying on tourism for their daily needs. Of course there are negatives attached.
The last few decades have been dotted with disaster stories where tourism has resulted in over-development, destruction of environments and in cultural misunderstandings and mistrust. It has also recently been embroiled in the debate about global warming and carbon emissions caused by flying. At Exodus we believe that our type of small group, positive impact tourism can bring benefits to many communities, help preserve the environments we travel to see, and provide real and positive social exchanges.

The Puritans
Reforming the Reformation
Why Read the Puritans?
Ron Frost
- Ron Frost is pastoral care consultant with Barnabas International and he is a mentor on the Cor Deo training programme , before which he taught historical theology and ethics at Multnomah Seminary in Portland, OR. View all resources by Ron Frost
Have you ever been pleasantly surprised? Can you recall enjoying something you initially expected to endure with grim determination? Maybe a university course that, against all odds, gripped you? Or a conversation with a mere acquaintance that suddenly made time disappear? With such moments in mind let me recommend the Puritans to you.
Who were the Puritans?
The Puritans? Yes! Their namea pejorative label at the startwas applied to people who shared common concerns but who never became a formal movement. They were, instead, pastors and lay people who preferred the theology and practices of 16th century Geneva rather than the practices affirmed by church leaders under Tudor Queen Elizabeth and the later Stuart kings. They also considered themselves to be godlythe hotter sort of Christiansand they campaigned for the United Kingdom as a whole to embrace their convictions.
But even a hotter sort of Christian might not make a good coffee partner. You may even have been warned against them at some point in your studies. And, to be honest, Puritans often earned their unhappy reputations. One wit even tagged Puritans as those who were desperately afraid that someone somewhere might be having fun! Its also true that reading some Puritans can be like swimming through sand. So there are challenges that come with this recommendation.
Yet only those who start to dig will find the diamonds in a mine. Treasures are waiting to be found in Puritan works. My own life was changed by a course on the Puritans in my days at theological collegeand I can promise that it was wholly unexpected.
My greatest treasure was Richard Sibbes (1577-1635) and it was John Cotton who put me on to him. Sibbes winsome preaching converted Cotton and Richard Baxter. Cotton, in turn, preached a sermon God used to capture John Preston. Preston then drew Thomas Shepard and Thomas Goodwin to faith. Each invites a reading. Jeremiah Burroughs and Jonathan Edwards also came alive for me as additional members of my pantheon of Puritan favorites.
The ability of Puritan thinkers to speak across the centuries will be clear to anyone who asks big questions. The best of the Puritans will always be there ahead of us, asking for instance, who is God? How do we get to know him? And what difference does he make? The Puritans were especially devoted to knowing and experiencing Godand with that they offer an invitation to any of us who share the same ambitions.
Asking key questions
No questions in life are more important than those that lead us to know Godto discover who he is and what hes about. The question was a Puritan specialty and though they may not have agreed on some specifics they all recognized the importance of the question.
In considering God Puritans treated him as the ultimate communicator. Jesus, as God the Son, explains God the Father in terms we can engage. Following the Sons ascent to heaven the Bible then became the most tangible and accessible source of Gods self-disclosure. So Puritans were avid Bible readers, intent on discovering Gods heart. As such they stand as great guides for our own Bible explorations and theology building.
The basic question about Gods beinghow he is one God, yet one who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Spiritwas critical to them. Sibbes, for one, explored this bond and what it means for our life and salvation.
If God had not a communicative, spreading goodness, he would never have created the world. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost were happy in themselves, and enjoyed one another before the world was. Apart from the fact that God delights to communicate and spread his goodness, there had never been a creation or redemption.[1]
John Owen offered his own portrayal of Gods spreading goodness. Like Augustine in the 4th century Owen spoke of Gods triune communion being facilitated by the Spirit who then is the exchanged love between the Father and the Sonthe very love he then shares with believers.
The mutual knowledge and love of the Father and the Son . . . are absolute, infinite, natural, and necessary unto the being and blessedness of God. So the Spirit is the mutual love of the Father and the Son, knowing them as he is known, and searching the deep things of God.[2]
John Preston also treated Gods communion as the basis for our communion with God in salvation. Like many of the Puritans he used the marital imagery of the Bible to explain spiritual union with Christ. Faith is the concurrence of two things: that God the Father will give his Son, and freely offers righteousness, and we receive this righteousness, taking Christ for our husband, our King, and our Lord.[3] In other words, the mutual exchange of resources in a marriage explains how a believer, now one with the collective Bride of Christ, is granted Christs righteousness.
Sorting out answers
Puritans also differed on a host of issues. That means we can engage them today as friends and foils for our own questions. Temporal distance helps objectivityour ability to see what the actual issues were in past debates. Those caught up in the emotions of the original fight may have had less clarity. A student today, for instance, may question William Ames moral casuistry without being worried about offending any close friends. Or someone might challenge John Cottons themes of free grace today without facing any pushback.
What kinds of differences existed among Puritans? There were questions over sin and grace. Some Puritans, for instance, treated sin as a violation of Gods covenantal requirementsso sin is essentially behavioral as seen in law breakingand grace brings about divine order as expressed by law keeping. Yet others viewed sin more as a heart issueas self-loveso that the critical feature of salvation is a new heart led by Gods love.
Some Puritans believed in Presbyterian polity for the church. Others argued in favor of Congregationalism. Some were Separatistsavoiding formal affiliations with other churcheswhile others were careful to maintain church connections, even when their Episcopalian leaders challenged or dismissed important beliefs.
Even questions about what constitutes basic orthodoxy were up for debate among the Puritans. Historian Janice Knight, for instance, wrote of competing versions of faith in Orthodoxies in Massachusetts: Re-Reading American Puritanism. Her focus was on the Antinomian Controversy of New England (1636-38). She pointed to a group of pastors who elevated Gods laws while others elevated Gods love. The resulting debate roiled Massachusetts and beyond for years after, even after a superficial resolve was reached.
Many other questions stirred the Puritans. For one, how was the doctrine of predestination to be understood? On this questionasking how Gods sovereignty engages the presumed moral freedom of all humansthere were supralapsarians (William Perkins and Paul Bayne), infralapsarians (Richard Sibbes and Thomas Goodwin), and Arminians (John Goodwin). Ill let you discover what the terms mean and what the proponents each argued! Despite the daunting jargon these were (and still are) very important matters.
Another tension was the question of Christs atonementwhether it is promised strictly to the elector whether it is offered to all humanity and then applied only in cases where faith is present.
Still another debate had to do with the meaning of grace: is it a who or a what? That is, does Gods saving grace come to believers by the Spirit who unites us to Christ in a marital union? Or is salvation more indirect, achieved by some only when God supplies the elect person with an infusion of enabling grace? Sibbes and Preston believed the former; Perkins and Owen held the latter. Years earlier, as a fascinating context, Thomas Aquinas insisted grace must be a what and Martin Luther was just as adamant that it must be a who.
Many readers, of course, may not care a whit about these questions. At least at the beginning. But over time it becomes clear that important issues were, and still are, at stake here. And it also becomes very apparent that the rigor of such important debateswhat is needed to make the issues clear and sound decisions possibleis almost unheard of today. The Puritans, by contrast, were keen for clarity and ready to press their points. And the warp and woof of strong spirituality is only woven with threads provided by lively debates.
Getting started
Where should a newcomer to the Puritans begin? Some fine suggestions are offered in The Devoted Life: An Invitation to the Puritan Classics (IVP, Kapic & Gleason, eds.). In this helpful guide a collection of nineteen Puritan writers are presented along with an introduction to one of each writers noted works. The book is compact because the featured writings themselves are not included. J. I. Packer, for instance, introduces John Bunyans Pilgrim's Progress and readers are then expected to find their own copy of the bookwhich in most cases can be found as free or nearly free downloadable items on the Internet. If you have an e-reader you should be on your way in no time. Or in most cases print copies are also readily available at affordable prices.
At the very least, just go online or to your bookstore or local library and find any of the names weve mentioned already and start reading. Be patient and steadylearn the rhythm and then enjoy the substance. Again, any time invested in reading the best of the Puritans will satisfy the soul. Dont wait to get started!

San Diego State is Staying in the Mountain West Conference [POLL]
The Mountain West Conference and San Diego State today jointly announced, effective immediately, San Diego State will remain a member of the Mountain West in all sports.
"San Diego State University is pleased to be continuing as a full member of the Mountain West Conference," said SDSU President Dr. Elliot Hirshman. "We are excited about the opportunities our partnership provides for the development of the Conference and San Diego State University's athletic programs."
"As a charter member of the Mountain West, San Diego State has decades of history and tremendous competitive rivalries with our member institutions," said Commissioner Craig Thompson. "With today's announcement, SDSU's membership continues uninterrupted and helps the Mountain West maintain a solid foundation going forward. The Aztecs remain a perfect fit geographically and provide the Conference with a highly-competitive athletics program that includes a Top 25 men's basketball team, a 2012 MW tri-champion in football and several other league championship programs."
With the addition of San Jose State University and Utah State University on July 1, 2013, the Mountain West will currently be comprised of 11 all-sport members and 12 football-playing institutions. The Mountain West membership also includes: the United States Air Force Academy, Boise State University, Colorado State University, Fresno State, University of Hawai'i (football only), University of Nevada, University of New Mexico, San Diego State University, UNLV and University of Wyoming.
So what do you think about all the shifting of the college conference landscape.

Yes, I say that often as I share similar desires as Ultimecia (Just not the planet destroying kind... well sometimes...). If I could compress time I could fix a lot of things. So I mean to compress time to change the past and alter the poem to yours.
I don't know if I should spoil the meaning~ I like having people interpret it, in a way they are inspiring more writing. Your hospital interpretation is absolutely beautiful.

That sounded like something that a friend of mine said sometime ago
Hehe thank you^.^ I can think up of it, but I am bad when expressing them with words >.<
I guess it's better to let people guess the meaning, It's more fun that way I am also trying to figure it out as we speak

The true meaning still hasn't been found, but I shall give you each a hint. The poem was written as a tribute to someone who has always kept me strong. That person is no longer with us though peace be upon his soul~

I hope that you shall rest soon, I am worried when people stay up so late. Your interpretation is really pretty. Now I am wishing that was the interpretation. I wish I didn't make my poem so focused on the event and rather focused on the emotion of it all. This way all interpretation is correct. I will have to do that for my next poem because I love what others have come up with. Don't worry about having bad English, when I am on medication my use of language drops several levels. My writing can come off vague or empty too when on medication.

Haha, thank you for your compliments. I am not sure if I am as bad as I say, but I know that people have to ask me to repeat myself a lot when on my medication~ I usually avoid writing directly after taking them until a few hours past which would be right now.
I shall think of something later or post an old one. My emotions can get really dark due to things being the way they are in my world. So I have avoided putting things up here and only focusing on my writing or the Monk and Poet. They're silly stories and light hearted, I like putting them up as I learned them as a child~

Oh wow Sofiel, I never knew you were such a talented writer.
The Forbidden Desire Prologue is quite a piece of work. The notion about humans' "False Masks", I've actually thought about that once myself...it actually makes sense. A very down to earth piece of text you have here, and you use some good language throughout. Nicely done.
Promise I'll read the rest, I'm very lazy when it comes to reading. Keep it up.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I always get a little fired up when people compliment my writing. This is one of my third or fourth times being open with my writing to the public eye. I am a tough critic on my writing and also fear others may not like my style. Your compliments helps me understand my target audience too.
False masks are a dangerous trap I think about it at times a lot. If I am talking to someone in real life I wonder how much of "Them" I am seeing and how much they have hidden. The closer I get to people I tend to try and tear down their masks to see the real person because that is the most special thing about them.
Hehe, I look forward to hearing your input about the story~ I am glad you're enjoying my writing hehe ^.^

Hello Daniel! Long time no speak~ How is my every helpful forummate? I did indeed change my name~ I changed it so that I could have a more personal connection with the forum. Being named after a character from an anime felt impersonal to me. Sofiel is a nickname I use a lot in games, forums, and has been with me for a while so with this I feel more connected to others. A character creates a mask for that character which I felt blocked the real me.. Perhaps it is all in my head, but I am happier now ne~

I'm glad to hear that you are doing well~ What is giving you difficulty in your thread? I hope that you shall be able to update soon. I know much of creative blockage. I had a bit of that before I had to go to the hospital for a few weeks.
That is great that you use your real name. I would be much to frightened to use my real name. You are very brave for me. I'm glad you understand, I often feel that my reasons are a little silly. However, everyones feelings have value no matter how silly haha~

How We Roll: President's Day Weekend
I've been knitting a LOT, but I have to warn you that the larger part of my knitting will be secret for the next few months. However, a particularly gigantic project started cramping my hands, so I decided to switch up my gauge for a couple days and use the yarn I got at Yarns in the Farms about a year ago for this chunky Twinkle vest (I tried on the store sample, and Tink exclaimed, "You look so curvy in that!" to which I responded, "It's all an ILLLUUUUSION!").
Chris wrapped Max up tight Saturday morning and he fell asleep that way, purring... an hour later Chinaski had joined him.
Happy days! Chris goes back to work tomorrow, and I have my first restaurant shift in the evening. Wish me luck!

Haha, If someone told me a garment made curvy, I'd throw it away as a hot potato :-D
Good luck at your new job, girl. First days are always stressing, but you'll be ok.

(I've been enjoying your blog for awhile--connected to it via one of your knitty patterns--and just now decided to comment.)
Awww, your kitties are so beautiful! I know exactly what you mean about physical labor--I am an academic, so I spend a lot of time in my head. To counteract that, I often volunteer my "brawn" to help my friend with her yard work, which usually means heavy duty stuff--building raised beds with cinder blocks, setting huge slabs of slate to make paths and patios, etc. I go home with scuffed hands, sore thighs and shoulders, and dirt everywhere. And very, very happy.

One small question.. is there anything which you are not able to do? I am a bit frightend about the fact that there are people like you who have - obviously - so many talents and do not get a job either and.. well.. people like me who are not so talented and who have this whole job-thing just ahead of them.
Sorry for my weird English, it is quite early in Germany (ok, it's not, but it's early for me ;)) and my English became a bit rusty. And to test your German-skill:
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland, und viel Erfolg mit dem neuen Job :)

Back to the Future
When this couple found an aging mid-century modern house in Kahala, they didn't tear it down—they lovingly updated it. Turns out the 1950s are looking better than ever.
(page 1 of 3)
In one sense, Kahala is one of Oahu's most fertile sources of custom residential architecture. Many of its well-to-do residents pursue interesting, new architect-designed homes. But the neighborhood's high median income also makes it prone to McMansions—those glitzy, blue-roofed, dolphin-gated, hermetically sealed palaces that could just as well have been built in San Diego or Scottsdale.
These outsize newcomers are even more noticeable in a neighborhood that originally developed in the 1950s and '60s under tight strictures from landowner Bishop Estate. Back then, leasehold provisions specified single-story homes, 25-foot setbacks from the street and 12-foot setbacks from each of the properties' side borders. This ensured a cohesive feel for Kahala, and guided the sleek modern style being developed by influential Hawaii architects such as Vladimir Ossipoff, Ernie Hara and Frank Haines.
As leasehold Kahala properties converted to fee simple, the restrictions disappeared, opening the door for larger visions of luxury, but many still look back fondly on the mid-century modern look that once defined Kahala.
When Bill and Cindy Jarvis moved to Hawaii from Berkeley Hills, Calif., four years ago, they were looking for just that kind of 1950s ranch-style home. "I knew I wanted something single-story, with a horizontal, relaxed feel," says Cindy. "Something that reminded me of my aunties' and uncles' houses when I would visit here as a child."
Furthermore, they wanted the real thing, not a newly minted facsimile. The object of their search turned out to be harder than they expected to find—Cindy recalls investigating more than 80 homes—but when they walked into this Kahala house, it was obvious that they had found what they were looking for. "We instantly fell in love with it," she says. "We didn't even see the whole house, we just had this reaction to it."
As it turned out, the house had a great pedigree—it had been designed and owned by noted Hawaii architect Frank Haines (Coincidentally, we recently spoke to Haines for our December issue in connection with the work he did for the new edition of Architecture in Hawaii.).
The house, completed in 1956, was a great example of the kind of low-profile, cleanly designed residential work Haines did in the 1950s before he turned his attention primarily to commercial architecture as a partner of local firm Architects Hawaii. As a bonus, the structure was in reasonably good shape; not too much termite damage, and recently re-roofed to boot.
The bones of the place were great, but the Jarvises did want to reconfigure and modernize it. Haines had expanded the house over the years to accommodate his growing family, and Bill and Cindy needed something that would more closely suit their life as a couple.

Marsh Fritillary
Orange and brown chequered butterfly with pattern of cream and orange bands and black marks on the underside of wings. The Glanville Fritillary is virtually restricted to coastal landslips on the southern half of the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands along with a few coastal locations on the mainland.
The status of the butterfly appears to have changed little in recent decades, though there has been some loss of habitat due to coastal protection measures. However, there are only a handful of core breeding areas and it remains a vulnerable species.
Size and Family
- Family: Fritllaries
- Size: Small/Medium
- Wing Span Range (male to female): 41-47mm
Conservation status
- Section 41 species of principal importance under the NERC Act in England
- UK BAP status: Priority Species
- Butterfly Conservation priority: High
- European Status: Not threatened
- Protected under Schedule 5 of the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act (for sale only)
Caterpillar Foodplants
The main foodplant is Ribwort Plantain (Plantago lanceolata). Buck's-horn Plantain (P. coronopus) is used occasionally as a secondart foodplant by final instar larvae.
There are two habitat types: Coastal grasslands either on undercliffs, deeply incised coastal river valleys with eroding sides, or cliff tops; and south-facing chalk downland. There are eighteenth century records from woodland clearings in eastern England.
- Countries: England
- Restricted to the Isle of Wight
- Distribution Trend Since 1970's = -71%

Does the ability to filter games within the client exist already?
For Example:
I only wanted to see games that were *ONLY* 15xx+, not full, RATED, ETC...
ONLY SHOW ME - RATED GAMES (NON-RATED games HIDDEN and not shown)
that kinda thing...
If that confuses some maybe if i reference most sites on internet.. For instance YOUTUBE.... When you search for a video you get options to narrow down results, if you'd like.. So if decided, I can make results show only videos that are shorter than 4 minutes or longer than 20 minutes, etc... Uploaded today, this week, last year, etc....
Does a MOD exist to give me a filter that will completely hide some of the games? Maybe ability to completely hide unranked games? or give me the ability to hide games that don't interest me at all?
I don't see the ability within the client which really baffles me since it's such a common thing in almost every website on the internet. Like most people depend on filters to not waste their time which is where I feel I'm at on Voobly... Surely I am overlooking it or its available in a MOD or theme?
Hopefully I am not looking over it and it's already available.... Seems like a no brainer it would be here somewhere...

The Germantown Friends girls took a break from league competition in tennis last Wednesday, venturing over to Jenkintown High School to record a 5-0 victory over the Lady Drakes. The Tigers lost just one game in the three singles and two doubles matches, and the win kept them undefeated this fall, at 9-0 overall.
Four of those victories have come within the Friends Schools League, where Germantown has already faced the other two top contenders for the title, beating Shipley School, 3-2, and Friends Central, 4-1.
Four matches into the battle against defending FSL champ Shipley, the teams were tied at 2-2, with the Tigers taking both doubles bouts, and the Gators capturing the first and third singles contests.
GFS was now relying on senior number two Olivia Fiechter, a national team squash player who had just finished competing in a major tournament a day earlier. Finishing out the match with a tiebreaker, Fiechter was able to win in straight sets for the team victory.
Last Wednesday at Jenkintown she was the first player to finish, recording a 6-0, 6-0 decision over Lady Drakes junior Molly Dorshimer. At first singles, Tigers junior Joanna Booth turned in the same scores as she went by fellow 11th-grader Julia Abriola of the host team. Booth did not play on the GFS team last season, but was Germantown's number one player in 2011, when the Tigers won the FSL crown.
Jenkintown is one of the smallest public schools in the Delaware Valley, and competes in the Bicentennial League. Entering Wednesday's bout, the Lady Drakes were 5-9 overall, and with several players injured or ill, they found rough going against a strong GFS squad.
Rounding out a singles sweep for the Tigers, again with scores of 6-0, 6-0, was sophomore Sophie Bunson, who defeated senior Kelsey Nusbaum. At first doubles, the performance of seniors Hannah Ceisler and Emma Clark was not quite flawless, but they easily got by junior Jess Cartwright and senior Avery Shink of Jenkintown, 6-1, 6-0.
With four courts available, the second doubles duos could not begin playing immediately, but when space opened up, GFS juniors Ann Carpenter and Emily Abbott quickly proceeded to a 6-0, 6-0 victory over the home team's tandem, sophomores Sophie Mullins and Oonagh Kligman.
A third doubles bout was played on as an exhibition match, and this turned out to be the closest encounter of the afternoon. The Tigers, senior Nicoline Arlet and sophomore Eliza Cohen, won the first set at 7-5 over Jenkintown's Federici sisters, Olivia (a senior) and Bella (a sophomore). This was the last match of the day, and instead of a full second set, a super-tiebreaker was played, with GFS prevailing, 10-6.

Talent needs all our help
THE International Day for Persons with Disabilities we celebrated this week always brings mixed emotions.
On the one hand, I'm thinking of the Stelios Award for Disabled Entrepreneurs in the UK – 2012.
The event, held in partnership with the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation and the charity Leonard Cheshire Disability, never ceases to amaze and inspire me with truly uplifting stories of individual struggles of self-help in overcoming economic hardship and petty discrimination.
On the other, I'm left saddened and frustrated by society's continued indifference to the wider question of disability and its impact on individuals, their families and communities.
When Leonard Cheshire Disability approached me six years ago about sponsorship, I wanted to work with them to reward entrepreneurial talent among disabled people.
Every year we interview and assess budding businessmen and women, who have followed their dreams and refused to give up on their hopes of independence, even when other people have written them off.
Unfortunately, writing people off is something we seem rather good at.
This year's winner, David Hawkins, a paraplegic entrepreneur whose company Cyclone Technologies supplies wheelchairs and fitness equipment, is a classic case of overcoming adversity.
Unfortunately, writing people off is something we seem rather good at.
About 50 per cent of disabled adults are out of work, a figure which, regardless of the economic climate, has remained static for several years. Considering 18 per cent of the population is disabled, this is surely unacceptable.
Self employment is often the only option because it is more flexible but at a time when small businesses should be encouraged, disabled entrepreneurs face extra hurdles.
Many are unable to access loans so they can start or grow their business and their applications fail because they are deemed to be too much of a risk. Given the state of UK banking, I see no short-term remedies here.
None of this has anything to do with individual talent, ability or drive; many of the disabled business people I have met have all of this and more.
Their refusal to give up on their dreams not only gives them financial independence but also provides a measure of relief to spiralling taxpayer-funded welfare budgets.
Our past winners have shown their ability to persevere and offer something unique. They include a travel agency that allows blind travellers to experience the world through the eyes of sighted fellow tourists, music classes to help children learn and communicate and a company making gripping aids used by our Paralympians.
These are just a few examples of businesses which are profiting and meeting a need.
This summer's Paralympic Games inspired a dramatic shift in public attitudes to disability but there is still a long way to go in business.
Disabled entrepreneurs should be encouraged and supported because they are helping to create new jobs and are contributing to our economy.

A blog by one of the volunteer reviewers for Geocaching.com. It's about geocaching and the review process -- what it takes to get your new caches listed on the world's most popular geocaching web site. ©Copyright 2012 by K.Braband. All rights reserved
Friday, September 28, 2007
One of the nice things about having a blog is that I get to share experiences and opinions with fellow geocachers -- and anyone else who happens to stumble into this site. It also means I get to post whatever I want even though I said this blog would be about geoache reviewing. Well, I can digress once in awhile, right? In that vein, here's a photo taken last evening as I prepared for a little moonlight kayaking on Lake Michigan out of Kenosha harbor. There were thunderstorms earlier in the evening but they were moving to the east over Michigan by the time we launched from the beach and watched the moon rise over the lake. Evenings like this one make you appreciate being outdoors while most people are inside in front of the TV.

Car Comparison
2014 Honda Civic Hybrid vs. 2014 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid: Which Is Better?
Rumor has it that America's appetite for hybrids is sated and that just 3 percent of consumers are willing to pay a premium for a car such as the 2014 Honda Civic Hybrid or 2014 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid. In fact, a recent study of registration data conducted by IHS Automotive shows that hybrid market share in 2014 has fallen compared to 2013, despite this being a time when consumers can choose from the broadest menu of hybrid vehicles in history. If you're one of those car buyers who remains willing to pay a premium for a hybrid, we'll help you to decide between a 2014 Civic Hybrid and a 2014 Jetta Hybrid. First, though, let's check out the changes for this model year.
2014 Honda Civic Hybrid
The Civic has been on a steady program of improvement since its last redesign in 2012, and the 2014 model year continues this trend. A new expanded-view driver's-side mirror makes it easier to see in the car's left-side blind spot, while a standard LaneWatch monitoring system uses a camera to show what's adjacent to the car in the right lane. Additionally, the 2014 Civic Hybrid gets a smart entry system with push-button starting, as well as a new Display Audio system with a 7-inch touchscreen that allows users to tap, swipe, pinch and spread content on the screen, just like a tablet computer.
2014 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Introduced for the 2013 model year, the Jetta Hybrid gets just a few changes for 2014. Volkswagen's new Car-Net smartphone connectivity and services technology is standard this year, the Media Device Interface cable moves from the glove box to the center console, and the gauge cluster gets a new information display screen.
While Volkswagen has made strides in terms of improving its reputation for reliability, it's hard to beat a Honda in this regard. Consumer Reports and J.D. Power agree that you're unlikely to have problems with a 2014 Honda Civic Hybrid.
That could also prove true with the Jetta Hybrid, though according to both Consumer Reports and J.D. Power, the Jetta lineup has demonstrated average performance in terms of quality, reliability and dependability. Given the big disparity between the Civic and the Jetta in this area, it's easy to declare the Honda as the more durable automobile.
Fuel Economy
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, each of these hybrid-powered compact sedans is expected to return 45 miles per gallon in combined driving. If that's the case, do we call it a tie? Let's take a closer look and decide.
The Civic is the lighter car -- weighing 439 pounds less than the Jetta -- but it is also the weaker car, making a combined 110 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque compared to the Jetta's combined 170 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. As a result, and despite the Volkswagen's added weight, the Jetta is the quicker car while getting the same fuel economy.
Plus, the Jetta's hybrid powertrain is more sophisticated than the Civic's. The Volkswagen can operate at speeds up to 44 miles per hour for a distance of 1.2 miles on electricity alone, and when the driver lifts off the accelerator at speeds under 84 mph, the gasoline engine decouples from the transmission, putting the car into a coasting mode. Similarly, the engine and transmission are temporarily separated when the driver applies the Jetta Hybrid brakes in order for the regenerative braking system to capture maximum energy that can, in turn, be used to recharge the lithium-ion battery pack.
That sounds pretty sophisticated, doesn't it? Unfortunately, the VeeDub requires premium unleaded fuel, which means that every time the Jetta Hybrid stops at a gas station, its owner is spending more than the Civic Hybrid's owner to top off the tank. And at the end of the day, that's what matters to many hybrid owners. As such, Honda gets the nod when it comes to fuel economy.
The 2014 Honda Civic Hybrid is a crash-test rock star. It earns a 5-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) because it comes with a standard forward-collision warning system and gets top marks in all crash-test assessments.
The Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid also earns a 5-star overall rating from NHTSA. In IIHS testing, though, the Jetta earns a Marginal score in the small-overlap frontal-impact crash test, making it ineligible for a Top Safety Pick award. Furthermore, the Jetta is unavailable with a forward-collision warning system or the lane-departure warning and LaneWatch systems that all come standard on the Honda. A reversing camera is standard for the Civic and optional for the Jetta.
The Jetta earns bonus points for its Family Guardian technology, though, which includes programmable boundary and speed alerts that are useful when young drivers are behind the wheel. But that's not enough for the Volkswagen to earn the win when it comes to safety.
The Volkswagen's Family Guardian features are a part of the standard Car-Net connectivity and telematics system, which also includes last parked location and automatic crash-notification services. The Civic's HondaLink Assist matches the Jetta's automatic crash-notification feature, each helping to speed rescue to the scene following a collision.
Beyond this, the Honda Civic Hybrid's list of technologies is impressive. In addition to the systems mentioned in the above section, the Civic is equipped with standard LED running lights, text-messaging capability, Bluetooth music streaming, Pandora Internet Radio, dual USB ports, and a 7-in Display Audio touchscreen system with tap, pinch, spread and swipe responsiveness. Options include a voice-recognition navigation system, HD Radio and an upgraded multi-angle reversing camera. Most of this stuff isn't offered for the Jetta.
What the Volkswagen does have is a set of bi-xenon headlights with an adaptive front-lighting system, which helps the driver to see around corners after the sun has set. But this isn't enough to deliver a win, so the 2014 Honda Civic Hybrid takes another round in this contest.
In addition to requiring premium fuel, the Jetta Hybrid is more expensive than the Civic Hybrid, and Kelley Blue Book says that Jettas are generally more expensive to operate during the first five years of ownership, in part because they depreciate more. While Volkswagen does provide no-charge maintenance for the first two years of ownership, that doesn't go very far to improve the Jetta's value equation. Therefore, the value victory goes to the Honda Civic Hybrid.
AutoTrader's Advice
When compared in the areas of reliability, fuel economy, safety, technology and value, the 2014 Honda Civic Hybrid is the better choice over the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid. Subjectively, we prefer the Volkswagen's looks, and the idea of getting 45 mpg combined with acceleration that hybrids in this class can't deliver is certainly enticing. For the majority of car buyers seeking maximum efficiency and utility at an affordable price, however, the Honda is the better of these two cars.

Moments after he allegedly shot a police officer, Michael Allan Jacobs was "screaming and yelling" in pain from his own wounds, his murder trial has heard.
Cheryl Carpenter told the Supreme Court in Sydney she was lying on her bed in her unit at West Tamworth last year when she heard shots ring out.
Ms Carpenter said she ran outside to discover a police officer and another man lying on the ground.
"There wasn't blood everywhere. There was just a little blood on (Jacobs') shirt," she told the court on Tuesday.
Jacobs, 49, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Senior Constable David Rixon at West Tamworth on March 2 last year.
The court has heard Sen Const Rixon followed Jacobs' car into the grounds of a block of units and approached him for a random breath test.
The Crown alleges Jacobs shot Sen Const Rixon with a .38 revolver, with the bullet travelling through his wrist and into his chest, piercing the officer's heart and lung.
Sen Const Rixon returned fire, hitting Jacobs in the leg, abdomen and the shoulder.
He then managed to attach handcuffs to Jacobs and put his glock back in his appointments belt before he collapsed to the ground, the court has heard.
Ms Carpenter said when she came across the two men, Jacobs was "moaning and groaning like he was in pain".
"It told me from my first aid (experience) that if he's screaming and yelling, he's alive and breathing, whereas the officer wasn't," Ms Carpenter said.
Ms Carpenter said she did not hear Jacobs say "sorry" and she did not see any other man at the scene.
She said it seemed like forever until police and paramedics arrived at the "distressing" scene.
"I was in shock," she said.
The trial continues before Justice Richard Button.

A winner was selected from 137 designs submitted by 38 freelance designers.
Atomic Blocks
A startup software company in the white-hot areas of cloud computing and unified communication.
CIO, CTO, and CEO-level decision makers looking for start of the art software solutions employing the very latest technologies.
We currently have a logo that serves as a placeholder until we find one we really love!
We're ok with the general concept of the stacked blocks, but open to creative and eye-catching alternatives. We prefer simple. Clearly the font (and/or scale?) for our current logo is not working. Overall it feels amateurish. We do like blue but we don't want to be limiting.

Peopleperson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 59 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
I am a business coach who is launching a motivational and strategic planning business coaching blog that will help readers find opportunities everywhere--not only to make more money, but to expand their goals, improve their relationships, make a difference, and have more fun, .
The logo should be clean, hopeful, inspiring, and professional. Ideally the iconic portion of the logo might later be adapted for other related domains: "OpportunityMasterminds" and "TheOpportunityAudit". It would be great if the design (with minor revisions) could work with and without ".com"
I will ask/ hire the winning designer to integrate the logo into a header and possibly other graphic elements.
I tend to like deep reds, golds, greens, and deep blues, but don't limit yourself to these. One idea would involve a profile of a human head and I also like iconic figures with uplifted arms, but you are the experts in graphic communication so "do your thing" with all your own imagination. Come up with something that sings!
Small business owners, entrepreneurs, service professionals who want to grow their business AND want to make a difference. They want to be inspired by what they do. Should appeal to both men and women.
I will want a final form that can be adapted for various uses (internet, business cards, etc.).

Mustang MonthlyEvents
20th-Annual National Parts Depot Car Show
Optional Back-Road Cruise to Cedar Key
This January will mark the 20th year for National Parts Depot's annual Ford & Mustang Round-up from January 11-12, 2014 in Silver Springs State Park in Ocala, Florida. Last year's numbers prove that this car show is one you don't want to miss out on. Before the two-day car show on Saturday and Sunday, a cruise takes place starting on Friday morning, Jan. 10.
This isn't your ordinary car show parking lot. At Silver Springs State Park, it's more of a family atmosphere surrounded by a lush environment with glass-bottom boats available. Starting October 1st, Florida government has regained control of the park. As the result, the park's fee structure and attractions have changed. For more information, visit the website here: www.floridastateparks.org/silversprings/default.cfm
Before the two-day car show on Saturday and Sunday, a cruise takes place starting on Friday morning, Jan. 10th. People start to gather around 8 a.m. at NPD's main warehouse in Silver Springs (Ocala) where participants are welcome to browse the extensive collection of cars and trucks – about 200 of them.
After that, a short driver's meeting will be held to discuss the car cruise around 9 – 9:30 a.m. before departing to Cedar Key, about a 1.5-hour drive. It's a short drive down I-75 before exiting through the back roads of Ocala horse and farm country at easy cruising speeds.
Upon arrival to Cedar Key, people can enjoy the small fishing community with lunch and explore the shops before making the trek back to Ocala. Once back in Ocala, VMP Tuning will be on the scene with its mobile Dynojet chassis dyno for those interested in making two pulls with A/F ratio for just $65. An NPD goodie bag will be given to the highest pull.
Now that the park is back under state control, the state gave NPD the chance to re-think the traditional 1,000-free offer and fees. It seems recently that the older vehicles (1993 and earlier) haven't had as much of a presence as the modern vehicles in recent years. The older vehicles account for most of NPD's sales and the show has always been intended as a "thank you" to them. With that said, registration is completely free for the 1993 and earlier models if registered before January 1st, 2014.
If registering after Jan. 2nd, participants pay a small park fee of $10 for the weekend with no fee for additional passes.
Let it be known that "NPD loves and appreciates all beautiful cars and trucks that attend the Silver Springs event." It's hard to see the older car presence start to decline, so tell your friends who may own an older Ford to come out for the weekend, or at least for a day!
If just spectating, a standard park entry fee (per car) is $5 for a single person and just $8 for a car up to 8 people. These are daily prices. 100% of the fees go to Silver Springs State Park, a National Treasure.
For Registration Form, check out www.npdlink.com starting on the week of October 14th, 2013.

Boy Finds 30,000-Year Old Mammoth Remains in Russia
An 11-year-old boy has discovered the remains of a 30,000-year-old mammoth in northern Russia, and paleontologists are calling it the best preserved mammoth find in over a century.
The child, Evgeny Salinder, found the mammoth, complete with organs, layers of fat, bones, flesh and fur at the Sopochnaya Karga cape, located in Russia's northern Taymyr peninsula.
"We can see that this animal was very well adapted to the northern environment, accumulating massive amounts of fat," Aleksey Tikhonov, deputy head of the Zoology institute in the Russian Academy of Science, told local Russian newspaper Itar-Tass.
"This animal likely died during the summer period as we can't see much of its undercoat, but it had already accumulated a sufficient amount of fat," he added.
According to the Moscow News, the male mammoth, which weighed 1,102 pounds at its time of death, died at age 15 and was preserved due to a layer of permafrost covering the right half of its body, including its tusk.
It reportedly took scientists a week, using steam and pickaxes, to dig through the permafrost and reach the mammoth.
Although the mammoth was discovered just recently, scientists have already found that the large hump on the mammoth's back was composed of fat. Previous studies have suggested that this hump was a part of the mammoth's bone structure.
The mammoth, which has been named Zhenya (short for Evgeny) after the boy who discovered it, will be displayed at the Taimyr Regional Museum after it is transferred from the Russian Academy of Sciences for research.
"Despite the fact that it is not common in scientific circles to name the adult remains of ancient animals, this mammoth was called Zhenya – after the Nenets boy who first found the mammoth," Tikhonov told the Moscow News.
"Officially the animal will be known as the Sopkarginsky mammoth," Tikhonov added.
As the Moscow News notes, previously Russia has introduced plans to begin a clone study of mammoths with Japan's Kinki University. It is still unannounced if this new discovery will contribute to the cloning project.

Paramore - self-titled - April 9th
4th Album Announcement
The time has come Paramore fans, friends, and family... And for that matter, the time has come for the rest of you as well. We are ready to spill the beans about what we've been doing over the last *coughYEARcough*. With the most pride and passion we could ever possibly express, we would like to announce that this album, our fourth freaking album... Will be self-titled, 'Paramore'. It has been self-titled through nearly the entire process. In fact, what usually takes us weeks on end to sum up and put a label on only took us a five minute conversation this time around. The whole making of this album was a rediscovering of ourselves as a band and as friends. It was a process that allowed us the freedom to explore new territory artistically and to liberate ourselves as musicians, singers, as people! Sincerely, we feel that the best way to give it a name is just to call it what it is. This album is us.
The first single off the album is called "Now". Not really sure what else to say except for we love this song. It just feels like the perfect way to start this new journey we are embarking on not only as a band but as a movement. To show people that you can lose battles but come back and win full on wars. You can rise from ashes. You can make something out of even less than nothing. The only thing you have to do is keep moving forward!
Thanks to our fans for believing in the three of us before we ever even did. And to our producer, JMJ, for seeing a brand new band in us. We are prouder than ever and more excited now than ever to be Paramore.
'Paramore' will be released April 9th.

Scott said of video: "We recently finished a joyous European and American tour, and while we were away we thought it only right to document as much as possible with our good friends Handheld Cine Club. The gents have cut a video for the album teaser Dead Now, featuring some of the amazing footage they shot whilst they were on the road with us. Hope you enjoy it."

Lifford - Sinking Swimming
This is the 10th release from SLAPPED UP SOUL RECORDS & they've a treat in store for you on this special one.
It comes from a man who has certainly been flying the flag high for the UK of late. We would like to introduce you once again to the very talented LIFFORD but this time he is coming armed with his debut single entitled "SINKING SWIMMING" from his new album project BLUE DYE.
This heartfelt track written by LIFFORD is his most personal to date as he sings about his long term battle with depression, LIFFORD speaks openly & wants his message to be heard by people who are going through the same situation but are too afraid to speak out & ask for help.
On the buttons we have the equally talented JAMES YARDE who is the Producer on the track. With an edged out beat, Smooth keys, Funky Bass & strings which works wonders with LIFFORD'S vocals, James has previously been responsible for producing tracks for TERRI WALKER on her first studio album named UNTITLED.
LIFFORD is most known for his chart hit collaboration with ARTFUL DODGER on the track 'PLEASE DON"T TURN ME ON" which reached number 4 in the official UK chart back in 2000. More recently the track 'PDTMO' was remixed by brotherly duo DISCLOSURE who saw LIFFORD perform with them at their sell out London gig at Plan B & also on ROB DA BANK'S SHOW on RADIO 1 live at Maida Vale with a line up that included SAM SMITH,TOM ODELL & ALUNA GEORGE.
