Vauxhall's all-new 4th generation Vauxhall Corsa supermini has debuted at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, with first deliveries starting in January 2015.
• We've driven the new Vauxhall Corsa in the UK - click here for the full review
The Corsa range will include three and five-door hatchbacks powered by a line-up of economical petrol and diesel engines with Vauxhall also confirming that a VXR hot hatch variant will be offered. Prices are expected to be broadly equivalent to the current Vauxhall Corsa.
When GM has consistently been selling close to 85,000 Vauxhall Corsa models annually in the UK for the past few years, you wonder if there's a need to launch a replacement.
But the company has listened intently to its customers and kept the things they like the same – the dimensions and basic shape – while working hard on improving the things they criticised, such as the ride, handling and interior quality. We joined Vauxhall's small car brand manager, Ian Mitchell, for an exclusive tour of the car...
From the outset, it's clear that Vauxhall is setting its sights high. "We wanted it to have the ride quality of a Polo, but to be as fun to drive as a Fiesta – if you hit those benchmarks you've cracked it, and we believe we have," said Mitchell.
"We've been pretty consistent with Corsa sales for the past few years. Clearly we have aspirations to grow our volume; we want to go at the Fiesta, which sells around 120,000, and steal some of its volume."
The basic chassis architecture of this fourth-generation Corsa is the same as its predecessor's, so exterior and interior dimensions are identical, give or take a few millimetres, but every exterior panel is new. Led by Brit Mark Adams, Vauxhall's design team has taken various style cues from the brand's latest models and distilled them into a supermini shape.
For example, the trapezoidal grille is from the Adam, along with the 'brand bar' running across it. LED daytime running lights are standard on most models and take on a more exaggerated, wing-like 'eyebrow' shape than on the Astra, while the foglights mimic the Cascada.
The front end and bonnet are lower, for pedestrian protection, and feature a scalloped indent also borrowed from the Adam. In profile, the familiar 'blade' crease runs just above the sills and is joined by a sharp crease above the door handles, which stretches all the way back to the sculpted tail-lights.
Interior space may have stayed the same, as has the 285-litre boot, but every part of the instrument panel and dashboard is completely new. Again, the inspiration comes from the Adam, with a seven-inch colour touchscreen taking centre stage.
Available with this IntelliLink infotainment system on all but the most basic models, it can be connected up to Apple or Android smartphones and allows users to download sat-nav and Internet radio apps, as well as use Siri voice control. The overall look and feel inside is miles away from the current car's dated cabin, thanks to a lack of clutter and soft ambient lighting.
We'll have to wait a while before we deliver a definitive verdict on the interior quality, though – this pre-production car was still wearing bare, untextured plastics in some areas.
The model we photographed was a five-door – designed to be the more sophisticated model in the new line-up – while the three-door is more differentiated than before. The sales split is expected to be 60 per cent three-door and 40 per cent five-door. Historically, retail customers buy more three-doors and fleet customers go for the five-door, while the retail to fleet split is predicted to be around 50:50 – identical to the current car.
A reinforced, stiffer front sub-frame and new front suspension geometry, plus a new speed-sensitive electric power-steering system, have been designed to sharpen the handling and provide more front-end bite. Two types of suspension – comfort and sport – will also be offered. We drove a prototype (below) and the changes have had a positive impact – there are even specific steering settings for UK cars to account for our unique roads.
Under the bonnet, the big story is the new 1.0 three-cylinder ECOTEC engine. "People used to associate engine size with power, but not any more," Mitchell explained. "It's actually got balancer shafts so it's smoother than the 1.4."
The direct-injection turbo will offer 89bhp or 113bhp – both giving 170Nm of torque – with a six-speed manual box, while a new six-speed auto is optional on selected engines. Start/Stop tech is standard and, in three-door guise, the lower-powered model can hit 54.7mpg, with sub-100g/km to be expected (matching the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost).
The entry-level engine will be a 69bhp 1.2-litre petrol, while turbo and non-turbo 1.4s offer 99bhp and 89bhp respectively. The 1.3 CDTi will continue with 74bhp or 94bhp, now hitting as little as 85g/km CO2 and capable of 87.8mpg. An ecoFLEX version will be available from launch, too, with target CO2 emissions of under 90g/km.
Exact equipment levels are currently under wraps, but premium features like Hill Start Assist, a heated windscreen and a city assist button (to increase assistance on the electric power-steering at low speeds) will be standard across the range. All Corsas also get ESP, tyre pressure monitors and all engines comply with Euro VI emissions rules.
Other available kit includes bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, a rear parking camera, and Advanced Park Assist. There's also an optional forward facing camera for road sign recognition, blind spot alert, high beam assistance and autobraking.
Prices and full spec details on the seven UK trim levels will be revealed on October 2nd, with first deliveries in January. And unlike some makers who drip feed the full range, Vauxhall will offer every trim level and engine from launch. Plus, Mitchell said prices will be "aggressive", adding: "At this end of the market you have to offer customers exactly what they want or they'll go elsewhere."
Unlike previous versions of the Corsa, there will be a distinct design difference between the three and five-door models, as Vauxhall targets a different set of customers for each.
Mark Adams, vice president of Opel/Vauxhall design, showed us around the latest model and explained some of the key differences between the cars.
"The three-door car is a sportier solution," Adams said. "There is more fluidity to it. It looks like the Astra GTC, with the shoulder line and the blade signature that's used on all of our cars in some form."
The rear window line is the biggest difference, with a sleeker finish coming to a sharp point, while on the five-door this is rounder. The shoulder line Adams refers to gives it a more aggressive look than the five-door car.
Inside the three-door there will be the option of a colour strip right across the dashboard, which Adams says is another part of giving this version a younger feel.
But despite appealing to a younger market, Adams explained the Corsa wouldn't go as far on the personalisation front as the Adam. "That's what that car [Adam] is there for," he said. "There will be some [personalisation] – interior accents and a chrome bar on the grille."
Vauxhall has confirmed a new Corsa VXR is being developed, too. "We'd like to do one; there's such a following for it, we'd be crazy not to do it," said small car brand manager Ian Mitchell. "You might see something next year."
• Best hot hatchbacks to buy now
A 197bhp version of Vauxhall's new 1.6 direct-injection turbo is likely under the bonnet – the current VXR has 189bhp – with room to produce more potent versions later in the car's life.
When we took a Vauxhall Corsa prototype car for a spin, early signs were good. The completely revised suspension means the Corsa rides bumps with a gentle thump rather a crash, even on the 17-inch alloys and with the lower stiffer sports suspension of our SRi-spec prototype.
The electric power steering has been completely retuned, too, with a more relaxed ratio for the lesser models, and a sharper calibration for sportier SRi versions. According to Vauxhall's head of advanced vehicle dynamics Michael Harder the focus was to make the car react quicker just off centre, and because of our twisty B-roads, UK cars get unique tuning that's even sharper than the rest of Europe.
What do you think of the new Vauxhall Corsa? Join the debate in the comments section below...
Fussy design. Pity.
Very nice looking A Segment car now. The yellow one in the photo looks like a VXR or sportier version. Good work Opel.
Another car that will age quicker than a pint of milk.
So it's not really a 'new' Corsa then is it?
it wont be looking like that, however if it does look vaguely like the ADAM, then it will not do well, teh ADAM look as not aged very well, and Vauxhall, must learn from that and do something better.
That lower grille on the front is unappealing and won't help increase sales. Sure hope they don't muck up the Astra with it too.
I'm surprised that Vauxhall are rolling out design elements of the Adam to its mainstream models. I thought the Adam was supposed to appeal to those wanting something a bit different, with a special interior, but its going to end up just being a smaller version of any other Vauxhall
Dear AE commenters:
Your personal subjective opinions on styling are not fact, they are just your opinion. If you knew what you were talking about then you could earn big money in car design and market research. But you don't know and you don't do the latter. so nobody really cares what you think..
The Adam has been out for many Months.
I've seen a handfull in my area.
Yet i pass a Dacia on a daily basis.
Wake up Opel GM.
If this is just a facelift of the present model you are committing suicide!
At last Vauxhall has updated Corsa to bring it in line with the rivals. Interestingly however the delay didn't stop it being a sales hit in UK and Europe.
The fresh looks and the engines should help Vauxhall shift more. The influence of Adam on the new Corsa's styling is unmistakeable.
I think that is a sportier version (SXI/SRI), it doesn't have any of the design cues from the VXR models, e.g. Triangle intakes, triangle mirrors etc
Styling and appearance are vital aspects of car design and sales, so deserve more, not less discussion.
It's perhaps a pity that AE doesn't have a design guru like Robert Cumberford on board to write about the subject.
Good looking little car. Seen so many Adam's about so its influence in this will surely only make it sell.
Ford's Fiesta facelift looked more Scorpio than Aston Martin and they still sell shedloads!
The Adam sold 21,000 in Germany in 2013, a little less than the bigger Mokka. I've seen only a handful of Adams on UK roads though.
Seen loads of Adams.
True but most AE commenters drive old Rover 200s and know farcall about car styling. Armchair critics with no idea.
Old Rover 200s? Are there enough of these to go round? Doubt it! Still, the point about car styling is that you don't need to know much about it to 'know what you like.' And style does sell - I don't care for the pram-like Adam myself, but happy for those who disagree to buy one.
Vauxhall have done a nice job with this. This is a good looking car like all Vauxhalls these days.
Do you drive a VW group product by any chance?! because whenever people criticise VAG cars, the fanboys line of defence is always that they are clean simple and age well!
Nope - currently a PT Cruiser and last-gen long black Mondeo hearse estate, and very capacious it is too, with good ergonomics, and plenty of room for boats and bikes. Having said that, I like VAG cars for just the qualities you quote - clean, simple, age well.
that looks so stupid. Why this ridiculous moustache on all new vauxhalls? I would way prefer the Chevy Sonic, that may be crap, but it looks cool.
PT cruiser.
You are now banned from ever talking about cars again.
Ho ho - comfy PT has lots of chrome and is vinyled up as a promo vehicle… earns its keep nicely!
Seen quite a few on UK roads around my area. There are 2 brand new ones parked on drive ways on my street. Ones in lime green and the other is yellow with black tiger stripes... each to there own I guess.
its just an autoexpress image. it means nothing! Its using current corsa headlights and foglight surrounds. Theres no way it will look like this. Standard autoexpress with their photoshopping.
A PT Cruiser is surely a more heavily and fussily styled car than the Corsa in the picture above though!
Isn't the Rover 200 extinct?
Absolutely so - chosen specifically for its look-at-me US retro-style as a promo vehicle. Does the beans too.
My guess you either live in the Luton or Ellesmere port area.
The new more efficient engine line up sounds great and the new interior from the spy shots looks much better. Shame they appear to have completely ruined the front of, in my opinion, currently the best looking supermini. If they didn't do this but made the other changes and kept the amazingly low prices and great finance deals on current model then it may have been in with a chance of over taking Focus to number 2 spot maybe. Probably never make number 1 though unfortunately.
Why do car makers always seem to ruin the front end of a good looking car when they do a facelift version? (Yes I am aware the current Corsa is already a facelift but this was a rare exception that improved the look). Ford ruined the Fiesta with its latest facelift. Fiat ruined the Grande Punto with the Punto Evo facelift. Renault ruined the previous generation Clio. etc.
I hope Vauxhall/ Opel arent intending to 'revamp' their whole range to look like the Adam as they will very quickly go from having one of the best looking car ranges to the worst. The Adam is hideously ugly and, as others have commented, seems to be a sales flop. I have only seen 1 on the road (today actually) since its launch!
So, no actual release date.Just speculation from a misleading title as usual. Typical AE - The Sun of the motoring world!
As I've said in previous posts, only the UK keeps the sales of fords and vauxhalls high in europe - remove the uk sales figures, and they wouldn't reach the top 8 with any of their models.
Jack is a hottie
But I think he forgot to put up the new car's pics.... Instead putting up current model....
Looks and brains seldom go together, do they Jack!
Ugly. As predicted, a tarted up 2006 car. Undeniably a Corsa D after a little plastic surgery
You spelled McCracken wrong.
Yes, Adams are everywhere. I see far more Adams than Dacias.
Except it is in the 'B' segment maron
Not my cup of tea!!
I think Jack is HOT too! I'd kiss him and hope he doesn't tell!
As for the. Corsa - it's just last years model with a bit of plastic surgery! Very disappointing
Oh dear Vauxhall This looks so like the last model just like VW did with Golf and Polo. This is out of date before it goes on sale. Note to mark Adams This is a lazy design ,judging by many comments on here and other car comments pages the majority consensus is of the same opinion. Its just has not moved on OH DEAR 4/10 .It just will not come near to the all pistons firing Fiesta.
Oh Dearie me - the styling is tragic! The Corsa has been the best selling Vauxhall recently but they seem to have killed it. The rear window line looks very Korean (only they do it better) and the front is just horrendous. That is one ugly motor car!
No Adams around here - I've seen 2 since launch. No Sanderos either to be honest although Dusters seem to be popular.
There speaks the voice of a Vauxhall dealer! :-)
But it is as ugly as sin!
Not seen an Adam in months and only about 2 since they were launched - possibly the same 2 that are parked on your street. Do they both work at the same Vauxhall dealership?
I'd eat sugar cubes off of Jack's rump!
I would not eat sugar cubes off of the 'new' Corsa!
Not bad at all but in this class the Fiesta is the best and the most attractive car!
I'd 'do' Jack!
He is SSSSSOOOOO HHHHHOOOOOTTTT!
Me too! HARD!
Disappointing. Evolutionary of every Vaux model, but with nothing new, modern or sharp. Hallmarks of the previous Corsa and not nearly as modern as as any of the competition. The British will still buy hundreds of thousands
That is horrid especially up against the Fiesta.
I'd pull his pants off and kiss his masculine rump all day long!
Jack is a gay icon!
I'd shove my tongue where the sun doesn't shine!
Totally agree, I think they looked at the Fiesta facelift and how popular that car is (although will be replaced in the next few years with a new generation) looked at the UK sales and how we buy this car in huge numbers (deals and the fact we as Brits always opt for Vauxhall & Ford by default) and thought, lets just revamp the perennial Corsa D, bleat on about all that is new and call it a new Corsa E. The car is dated before even the first one leaves the showroom, heaven knows how long we will have to wait before a genuinely new Corsa is released. When the Corsa D as released in 2006 I loved it, it was fresh and modern and stood up well against its competition that were released at the same time. Punto Grande, Clio 3, Peugeot 207 etc. Looks wise this new "Corsa" lags behind the Reanult and Peugeot replacements that launched two years ago. Shame.
I'm getting a semi just thinking about Jack
For how much longer will this keep the Corsa in the top 10? It is so obviously a rehashed version of the current model, which may not necessarily be a bad thing, but as others have said, it looks so unbelievably fussy. Where the facelifted Insignia manages to look stylish, this just looks far too over the top and lower-spec models will look very awkward.
fugly, corsa c was the best looking. the astra j needs a diet and the combo van is the worst looking van ever. astra h 3 door was a great looking car too. I dont like the way vauxhall are going.
Yuck! Eating sugar lumps off a Corsa!
Yum! Eating sugar lumps off Jack's rump!
Hmmm...reminiscent of a heavily facelifted i20.
I'd shove my man-meat where the sun doesn't shine!
Droopy grille says it all.
Do you think Jack has a long slong
Google is paying 80$ per hour! Work for few hours and have more time with
friends & family! On tuesday I got a great new Land Rover Range Rover from
having earned $4151 this last four weeks. Its the most-financialy rewarding I've
had. It sounds unbelievable but you wont forgive yourself if you don't check it
Here is I started,------ JobHugo.Com
I'd bugger Jack!
Hands off! Jack's rump is mine!
I'd love to see Jack in skimpy shorts. Bet he has lovely legs.
I'd start with putting my finger up Jack's bum!
What position would you do Jack in first?
I'd like him doggie biting a pillow! I'd do him hard and determined!
I bet Jack's rump tastes sweet like sugar!
Lube or spit?
Def spit!
Or perhaps a spit-roast?
I'm not sharing my Jack with you! He is mine all mine!
And I'm gonna do him later!
Strip him naked and ride his rump to heaven and back! ....bare back!
Yes! And I bet Jack likes being spanked!
I'd have it for desert! Yummie!
I agree with the majority here VX have ruined the Corsa looks and Ford will gain another 85,000 customers.
Right now Mark Adams & Co may be ruining the Astra's styling, turning it into a echo of this forgettable piece of work.
I'd like Jack on his back with his legs on my shoulders. I could lean down to kiss his sweet lips when I was doing him then.
נראית נהדר
I'd bend Jack over the boot of the Cosra and ride his rump to heaven!
So let's hope the boot space is big enough for Jack!
You might need to position Jack's face between the 2 front seats. Perhaps turn the. Corsa into a bondage wagon to do Jack in?
Kinky Jack and a Corsa! I'd love to do Jack in the back of the Corsa.
I'd bugger Jack across the bonnet of the Corsa!
I'd do Jack on the bonnet, against the door and in the boot..... I'd do him all over the Corsa!
You need to plan for thrust room to ensure you can roger Jack well in the back of the Corsa.
Vauxhall had planned to sell between 40,000 and 50,000 Adams in the first year and in fact sold over 45,000 of which over 20,000 in Germany alone so targets have been met.
Source Wikipedia.
Would you have Jack in a jock or tight white pants?
(I know they wouldn't be on for long!)
The only thing this car does is make the Fiesta look even more attractive. Grafting the nose of the Adam onto the Corsa does nothing to produce coherent styling.
I'd spec my Corsa with a sunroof so I could do Jack on the roof!
Let's hope the Corsa takes the humping weight of Jack and I!
Your argument is up to the walls crazy
You say that opinions are important and that you know what you like and that you know what you do not like...
But ... are you really sure that you know it ...
What if you only THINK you know what you like and dislike..?
Because your eyes do not see what there is to see and your brain can not understand and interpret what you see.
That's what Sherlock Holmes always says.
So your eyes and your brain is lying to you.
What if what you are experiencing is a lie, told to you by your eyes that do not see and your brain that does not understand?
If you base your feelings and conclusion on incorrect
Can you then really be sure that what you are feeling and experiencing are what you would really feel and experience also if you saw everything there was to see and did understand everything there is to understand?
Do you think it does not matter how a person experiences the world around him…? If that person is ignorant of everything or understand everything?
And is it not true that the more refined, sophisticated and complex something is, the harder it is for the ignorant to understand and form an accurate picture of what they see?
And people usually do not like that they do not understand.
But if on the other hand they understands what they see…
To put it short; I know you do not understand this car and that is why you do not like it, but I also know without doubt that if you could really understand what you see - you would love it.
So is it not sad that you are missing something you actually enjoy just because you incorrectly imagine that you do not like it?
After 8 years on sale, this should be a completely new model, not a facelift. Interior looks a vast improvement. It will still sell well in the UK because it's a Vauxhall and as a result will be heavily discounted.

There was a lot of baseball being played in the last two weeks. After the regular season ended the All-Star teams took center stage for five different age groups. Many of these teams now move on to various locations for state play. If any are successful, then they head for regional tournaments with the final goal of going to the Little League World Series. But between now and then there are a lot of games yet to be played.
In the 8U division Carbon and Emery faced off in a three game series. Carbon came out on top. Both teams head to the Richfield area for State play the week of July 13.
Emery took the 9-year-old division and both Carbon and Emery nine year olds will play here in Price. The 9-year-old's state tournament will be played July 14th. A schedule for those games will be posted as soon as it is available.
Five teams faced off in the 10-year-old bracket. Emery won that division over Carbon, Helper Red, Helper White and Wellington. All five teams move on to the tournaments in Richfield.
Carbon and Emery also faced off for the 11 year olds. Emery played in the 70 ft division and Carbon has played at 60 ft. The best two out of three games were played at 70ft and it was Carbon coming out on top. Both teams will head to Nephi for their state tournament in the 70 ft division.
Finally five teams also went head to head for the 12 year olds at 60 ft. Carbon came through the play undefeated and will be joined by Wellington and Helper Red in Tooele July 8.

In the 1920's it was illegal to sell alcohol but that didn't stop people from consuming alcohol. Everyday people who would have normally been law-abiding citizens became criminals by purchasing alcohol from neighboring countries or from illegal breweries. It was legal to produce certain types of alcohol for your own consumption, but most people didn't possess the knowledge or equipment to do this safely so they resorted to purchasing and concealing unregulated and untaxed spirits.
On October 1, 2008 it became illegal to sell flavored malt beverages in Utah except in state liquor stores. As if that wasn't inconvenient and expensive enough, the new labeling requirements have virtually eliminated the option of obtaining these drinks legally anywhere in the state. Common people are now becoming lawbreakers by transporting these beverages from bordering states - and these states are collecting the taxes.
Once again an ill-conceived law is making criminals out of common citizens. In the upcoming election please remember your representatives who passed another harebrained law to keep Utah looking silly to the rest of the country. We can't do much about the ridiculous liquor control board but we can replace those who pass their absurd regulations.

CICERO — There were no area champions on the first day of the New York State Pubilc High School Athletic Association outdoor track and field championship meet.
But four Canton girls athletes earned individual medals and Indian River sprinter Shane Davis made it to two finals Friday at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.
Canton hopes to win a state title today in the 3,200-meter relay and the four girls who will run that race for the Golden Bears each won individual medals Friday.
"I think we already kind of know what to expect, but it's definitely good to have some individual success as well going into (today)," Canton's Laura Pierce said.
Pierce, a senior who is a student at Lisbon High School and runs for Canton as part of a merger agreement, was disappointed at the end of her race.She came up one spot short of defending her state title in the girls Division II 3,000.
Pierce was leading the Division II runners in her heat going into the final lap but East Aurora's Sophia Tasselmyer passed her on the first corner and held on for a win in 10 minutes, 2.69 seconds. Pierce finished in 10:03.9.
"It was pretty good," Pierce said. "I would have been happier with a little-bit better finish. I can't be too frustrated with it. I felt like there was a pack of us who were going to try to keep the pace pushing and not led the lead pack (three Division I runners) get too far away."
Pierce's Canton teammate, Maria Ricalton, ran in the first heat and finished first in 10:08.54, a time good enough to give her a third-place finish in Division II.
"I knew it was a good time, looking at last year's results, so I'm happy about that," Ricalton said. "I liked the placement of the heat. I like being in the front. I think I run better up there and I think it was really good for me. I didn't have to deal with the traffic of the fast heat. I knew what time I was going for and it was easy to look at the clock."
The other highlight for Canton came in the girls Division II 800 as twins Rebecca and Gemma DelRossi each earned medals.
Rebecca finished third in 2:14.79 and Gemma was fifth in 2:15.10. As soon as the race ended and each twin saw their time on the scoreboard they joined in a hug.
"I felt confident going into the race," Rebecca DelRossi said. "I didn't know I was going to get third place. I wasn't expecting that high up. It's so great. I'm euphoric right now. It's a great feeling to know I've worked for four years and now it's finally come down to showing some work."
Gemma DelRossi medaled in the same race last year, finishing sixth, but spent part of this season working her way through some injuries.
"I had lost a lot of confidence in my racing ability, but coming back (from injury) and being able to stick with Rebecca, and run the time that I did was really good," Gemma DelRossi said.
For the twins the fact that each medaled in the same event made it more special.
"It's pretty awesome," Gemma DelRossi said. "Generally when we medal it's in our own (events), or one doesn't medal. It's special."
Meanwhile, Davis technically hasn't medaled yet, but he has put himself in position to take home two on the final day of the meet today.
Davis had the fifth-best NYSPHSAA time in the 100 with a mark of 10.91 seconds. He ranked eighth when including the Federation runners.
Davis set a school record of 22.27 in the 200 and had the third-best time among NYSPHSAA runners and sixth overall.
Two other area athletes just missed medals Friday.
South Jefferson's Skylar Pastor, who won the girls Division II 400 in 2011, finished seventh in 58.74 seconds, missing a medal spot by one place.
Malone's Rebekkah Bond also came close to medaling Friday, finishing in seventh place in the Division I 400 hurdles.

Reporter: Craig Smith
Web producer: Forrest Carr
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The public face of the search for little Isabel Celis has consisted of a series of friends, concerned citizens and high-ranking Tucson Police officers -- not her parents, who've ventured out in public just once. This week police made it official: they hope Isabel's parents will change their approach. Advice from those who know something about missing child searches suggests that parents in such cases should maintain a high public profile.
While police say they will probably curtail their briefings because they have few new, hard information they can share with the public, experts in missing child cases say parents can hold the public attention longer because of the emotions they can convey, and the sympathies they can evoke.
Sergio and Rebecca Celis did make one public appeal five days after they reported their daughter missing. Last Wednesday Rebecca Celis said, "We do not want the focus to be taken off Isabel, by us being in front of the cameras or by the media."
Since then the parents have kept their distance. A church service over the weekend with special emphasis on Isabel was closed to the public.
Monday police said it would help if the family were to raise its public profile. Lt. Fabian Pacheco said, "We've said all along we think it's important to keep the investigation in the forefront, to keep tips coming in so we made that known." But he added, "Whether they choose to do that or not, I've said all along it's entirely up to them."
The Celis family seclusion stands in sharp contrast to how the father involved in another high-profile child disappearance handled his case. Ed Smart, father of Elizabeth Smart, helped make his daughter's disappearance one of the highest profile cases of its type ever to make the public eye.
Smart told KGUN9 News that no matter how hard it may be, parents should try to keep an active public presence. "The public, they become engaged when the parent talks about the child and asks for that help. It's not the same having a law enforcement agent or somebody else going out. The parents and the family have a huge impact on trying to find the daughter."
In Smart's case, the story had a good ending. Public interest remained high. Elizabeth eventually was found, having been kidnapped by strangers. Smart resumed her life. She told KGUN9 last week that she is doing just fine, and is closely following the Celis case now.
But not everyone agrees parents in such cases have an obligation to lead a public crusade for the return of a missing child.
Kathy Rau leads the Southern Arizona Children's Advocacy Center. Prior to that she spent 25 years as a TPD detective, helping parents cope with missing children. She is careful about applying too much pressure on families of missing children.
"I think we have to be very careful not to pass our own judgment or what we think we would do in that situation onto people that are actually going through the trauma. We can all say, yes I would be in front of the camera every minute. But God forbid that we be in that position and actually know what that is like."
Local police aren't the only source of official advice suggesting that families in missing child cases step it up. The U.S. Justice Department has gone so far as to publish a guide for families that have a missing child. It strongly advocates the idea of parents keeping a high profile in order to stoke the public's interest in the case. The manual offers coaching on how to make the most of media exposure but also reminds parents they are in control of when to offer interviews and under what circumstances.
Ed and Elizabeth Smart's interviews with KGUN9 News can be found in the "related articles" section on the left side of this page, beneath the photos.

SACKETS HARBOR With the average dairy farmer now in his late 50s or early 60s, opportunities exist for young farmers and professionals to start careers in agriculture. Finding them, though, is the catch.
To brainstorm about opportunities and barriers in todays industry, a group of young agriculture professionals ages 40 and under gathered Wednesday at Old McDonalds Farm in the Town of Hounsfield for a discussion led by Jefferson County Agricultural Coordinator Jay M. Matteson. Launching an internship program to connect young people with opportunities at dairy farms emerged as a takeaway from the discussion. Also discussed were opportunities for farms to add vineyards and grow hops as wineries and craft breweries continue to crop up.
Stephen D. Porter and his wife, Angela M., moved from Rochester to return to their hometown, Adams Center, this past fall. Mr. Porter now co-owns Porterdale Farms with his uncle, David G., and cousin, Gregory G.
Returning to raise their four children at the family farm was attractive to the couple, Mrs. Porter said.
We wanted our kids to have the skills to be able to do things on their own, the 32-year-old said. And we were lucky to have our core family here to come back to.
Mr. Porter, 33, often works 16 hours a day on the farm. He said young people raised on farms, like himself, often spend a period of their lives away from home before committing to becoming full-time farmers. They often take years soul-searching and exploring other career options.
Mr. Porter said he is friends with a man who spent eight years in the military, for example, before he decided to continue operations at his family farm in the Orleans County town of Kendall.
He only worked there as a kid, but he ended up becoming one of the owners, Mr. Porter said. But young people today have a hard time with patience. They have to be willing to wait for the right opportunities.
Young people also perceive the rising cost of farmland, along with regulations faced by todays farmers, as barriers in the industry, said E. Hartley Bonisteel, a 26-year-old community development coordinator for the Jefferson County Planning Department. Ms. Bonisteel, who visits farms when the county is assessing land, said that finding affordable farmland can be a challenge.
Ms. Bonisteel said that niche crops, like hops and wine grapes, might provide farmers with opportunities to diversify their operations.
By 2020, 80 percent of hops used by breweries will have to be grown in New York state, she said. And hops can be an easier crop to grow than grapes. The winery industry has blossomed here in the region, but its still a tough industry to break into. I think now is the time for farmers to be ahead of the game and get invested in hops for the future.
Young high school and college students who are seeking experience on dairy farms need more opportunities, contended Julia C. Robbins, executive director of the New York Corn and Soybean Growers Association.
One of the things the Jefferson County IDA could do is help farmers pay for interns, she said. Because students cant live here and pay $1,000 a month for an apartment. The only reason my familys farm doesnt have interns is because we dont have a place for them to stay.
In response, Mr. Matteson said the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County could team up to launch an internship program. The program could match farms with interns who are seeking experience.
We could find out what their needs are and where the interns are, he said.
Mr. Porter agreed that farmers would be receptive to hiring smart young people seeking agriculture experience.
It wouldnt be a hard sell, he said.
Along with exploring that internship program, Mr. Porter said, the JCIDA could expand its marketing efforts to promote agriculture here across the state.
Branding is something everyone needs to be aware of here, he said. Anything that we can do to promote the region and put a good spin on agriculture helps. We need to sell this area so that people think about all of the good farmland here.

Video: Chris Olsen: Pear Essentials
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Is your flower bed needing a face lift? Or do you need a new table arrangement? Our lifestyle expert Chris Olsen with Botanica Gardens has great advice for you!
Filling in the Gap
Are your flower beds looking rather boring with no curb appeal? It is amazing what colorful annuals can do to immediately change your flower bed's attitude. If your looking for those annuals (plants that bloom and seed in one season) that will last all summer in the Southern heat then I have the perfect choices for you. Here is a list of the "got to haves". All these annuals I grow in my own garden at Casa de Olsen.
Oktoberfest Confetti Garden Mixture
Honey Bee Mine Petunia
Million Bells Petunia (Calibrachoa)
Peach Frost Fusion Impatiens
Infrared Apricot Fusion Impatiens
Luscious Citrus Lantana
Giant Pink Supertunia
Bubblegum Supertunia
Purple Wondering Jew
Under the Sea Coleus Collection
Vancouver Centennial
Indian Tunes
Fan Flower
Pear Essentials
Not only are pears great for sweet treats but they are wonderful accessories and equally amazing decorations. I have some easy ideas that you can create the perfect spring and summer decor for any gathering.
Stack-able Pear Arrangement:
Take a 1 inch x 6 inch board (any length) and paint it a nice green color. Then drill and secure several metal rods into the board about 12 inches tall or a little shorter at a random pattern. All you have to do now is just slide fresh pears onto the rods. I also like to use sheet moss to hide and camouflage the painted board for a softer look. Don't forget to scatter a few pears on the table itself.
For that perfect kitchen accessory just take a real or artificial pear and dip half of each fruit into a bowl full of acrylic paint. Choose any color that you like. Let dry and then fill a bowl full of these colorful wonders. Even a painted pear placed in a bird's next makes for an eye catching display.

12 U.S. Code § 5107 - Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection backup authority to establish loan originator licensing system
(a) Backup licensing system
If, by the end of the 1-year period, or the 2-year period in the case of a State whose legislature meets only biennially, beginning on July 30, 2008, or at any time thereafter, the Director determines that a State does not have in place by law or regulation a system for licensing and registering loan originators that meets the requirements of sections 5104 and 5105 of this title and subsection (d) of this section, or does not participate in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry, the Director shall provide for the establishment and maintenance of a system for the licensing and registration by the Director of loan originators operating in such State as State-licensed loan originators.
(b) Licensing and registration requirements
(c) Unique identifier
The Director shall coordinate with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry to establish protocols for assigning a unique identifier to each loan originator licensed by the Director as a State-licensed loan originator that will facilitate electronic tracking and uniform identification of, and public access to, the employment history of and the publicly adjudicated disciplinary and enforcement actions against loan originators.
(d) State licensing law requirements
For purposes of this section, the law in effect in a State meets the requirements of this subsection if the Director determines the law satisfies the following minimum requirements:
(1) A State loan originator supervisory authority is maintained to provide effective supervision and enforcement of such law, including the suspension, termination, or nonrenewal of a license for a violation of State or Federal law.
(2) The State loan originator supervisory authority ensures that all State-licensed loan originators operating in the State are registered with Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry.
(3) The State loan originator supervisory authority is required to regularly report violations of such law, as well as enforcement actions and other relevant information, to the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry.
(4) The State loan originator supervisory authority has a process in place for challenging information contained in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry.
(5) The State loan originator supervisory authority has established a mechanism to assess civil money penalties for individuals acting as mortgage originators in their State without a valid license or registration.
(e) Temporary extension of period
The Director may extend, by not more than 24 months, the 1-year or 2-year period, as the case may be, referred to in subsection (a) for the licensing of loan originators in any State under a State licensing law that meets the requirements of sections 5104 and 5105 of this title and subsection (d) if the Director determines that such State is making a good faith effort to establish a State licensing law that meets such requirements, license mortgage originators under such law, and register such originators with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry.
(f) Regulation authority
(1) In general
The Bureau is authorized to promulgate regulations setting minimum net worth or surety bond requirements for residential mortgage loan originators and minimum requirements for recovery funds paid into by loan originators.
(2) Considerations
In issuing regulations under paragraph (1), the Bureau shall take into account the need to provide originators adequate incentives to originate affordable and sustainable mortgage loans, as well as the need to ensure a competitive origination market that maximizes consumer access to affordable and sustainable mortgage loans.

Let's start with your parents hurr hurr hurr
As soon as you can figure out a way to do this that doesn't sound like "I'm sorry Ms. Roe, you don't have enough evidence to prove he held a gun to your head and snuggled you brutally, so we're restraining you for the next nine months in the interest of the child," you go ahead and do that. Abortions aren't cheap in any case, so the tax wouldn't work as any kind of disincentive.

I think it doesn't matter whether it's anybody's "right" to choose, but if somebody has to make the choice, I'll put that responsibility in the hands of the mother before I put it in the hands of Rick Santorum or any other selfish people who don't give a crap about the life of either the mother or the child after it's born.

Since the Unlocked Samsung (Droid Charge) was released users have had to deal with a bug that really interfered with one of the main reasons that many purchased the phone in the first place. The hotspot feature was only working when you set the date on your device to sometime in May. This forced Verizon to shut off the hotspot for the time being until they could fix the bug.
Now, they have released an update that will continue to allow for the device to utilize the hotspot feature once again, and this time you will not have to change the date on your phone. There are a number of enhancements and additions that came along with the update. Some of the more popular updates including a much longer battery life during phone calls, a browser that works without the issues that were reported before, a new email folder setup that should make email browsing much easier, along with improved GPS performance that should make navigating more simple.
There were many other small updates that were also included in the download which should keep users anticipating future updates as well. The update is currently being slowly rolled out to a number of different devices and you should keep an eye out for the notification that will be present on your phone before the update goes live. It is good to see that Samsung quickly addressed the issue, as the hotspot feature was one that brought in a lot of new users to the Droid charge and it was a shame to see that it did not work out of the box. Of course, the bug that was causing the issue was not one that the company was able to notice until it was no longer May, so you can not really blame them for not figuring it out until it rolled around.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked Samsung phones such as unlocked Google Nexus S, Galaxy S Vibrant, etc..

Dating websites?
Posted 31 May 2009 - 11:13 PM
Or finding people who are just not what I am looking for...
Has anyone tried dating web sites?
What do you think?
Posted 31 May 2009 - 11:21 PM
Posted 31 May 2009 - 11:23 PM
I'm not just looking for a quick lay...
Posted 31 May 2009 - 11:29 PM
How about alt.com
Posted 01 June 2009 - 02:23 AM
So I am serious...
I am having a hard time meeting new people...
Just wondering if anyone has tried any site and what they think of it
Posted 01 June 2009 - 03:35 AM
Other then my husband, I did internet dating off and on for 2-3 years on okcupid and jdate (aimed at jews). I went on a LOT of first dates. Very few second dates. Hooked up with a few guys. Dated 1 for about 6 weeks. Dated another 2 for 2-3 weeks each. Made a few friends, although all seemed to back away a bit when I got into a serious relationship.
It's totally a numbers game...you talk to tons of guys online, meet few of them, like even fewer enough for a second date. My advice is don't invest emotionally too much into a guy until you meet in person, cause even if you have chemistry online you might not in real life. Don't wait too long to meet up, cause then you can build up the person into something they may not be, and the real thing can never live up to that. Don't meet to early too, cause someone who sounds awesome the first time you chat with them might reveal their crazyness on the second conversation when they are more comfortable with you. Maybe 2-3 weeks? Although I met my husband like a week after we first chatted online, so i broke my own rule I guess
Also make the first date really casual and short by design- like meet up for a cup of coffee or something and only hang out for an hour or so. That way if you are not feeling it you can leave with no awkwardness and if you like them you can set up a second "real" date, or you can extend the date if it is going really well. If you hook up with someone on the first date they will usually assume you were internet dating to hook up, and will assume you aren't interested in a serious relationship with them.
I should write a book on this shit
Posted 01 June 2009 - 03:40 AM
I think the people on that site also tended towards the nerdier/quirkier/freakier/less straight edge type people, which I liked as well. There are also some swinging married people on it, but most are single I think.
Posted 01 June 2009 - 02:07 PM
That is really helpful....
My room mate told me about this site...
Did you meet your husband on this site?
Posted 01 June 2009 - 04:15 PM
I should write a book on this shit
I think you just did...
All good advice though...
Posted 01 June 2009 - 04:41 PM
anyways i love south park, so that made me look at his profile, and then he had all the same favorite authors as me and a lot of the same favorite music, so even though I wasn't really into his picture (he had a terrible 3 year old picture up of him that didn't look anything like him), i was like "what the heck, at least we can be friends"
So we chatted for a week, and then it turned out he lived right near me, and had some stuff I was interested in buying, so I figured I would go over and buy some stuff and see what was up, and maybe I would make a new friend. We only hung out like 40 minutes that first time (I made sure to go over when I had somewhere to be right afterwards), but he was a LOT cuter/my type in real life, and later that night I was at a party and I kept telling my friend how I met this guy and I think I kinda liked him...so I inivited him over the next weekend when I had some friends over (Browneyedgirl and motti and happyhourhero) and then he was like "hey, lets hang out without your friends sometime" and then the weekend after that we hooked up and after that I pretty much never left his house
So I guess my lesson is...don't judge people based on their terrible internet pictures?
Posted 01 June 2009 - 04:45 PM
yep, that's my husband
Posted 01 June 2009 - 05:34 PM
Posted 01 June 2009 - 06:10 PM

he has great hair! that really isn't a flattering pic of him, though. good for you for seeing past the bad pic and finding twue wuv.
my brother found his husband on match.com and they're blissfully happy. i personally have no online dating experience... except of course for finding my mister right, right here

he now claims that he intentionally put up horrible photos to screen out superficial people... It's not even the hair, although that's ridiculous...his face has totally filled out since then and become more of an adult face...he just got better looking as he got older.

Posted 29 June 2009 - 03:04 PM
Geeze match and Okcupid luck????? I haven't met anyone on those sites. I feel like I made my self out to be some creep, when I know I haven't. No replys, no winks, no emails, nothing. Whats your trick, becuase I must be doing something wrong.
post your profile and I can give you some advice if you want too.
also, in general I think guys email girls a lot more often then girls email guys on these websites, so girls seem to have better luck and don't have to put in much effort, while guys have to email a bunch of people to make their own luck.
Posted 29 June 2009 - 03:11 PM
One clear truth on the dating sites:
WOMAN posts ad: Gets TONS and TONS of replys......
MAN posts ad: Gets TONS and TONS. I won't elaborate.

The man who successfully lobbied to remove fluoridation in the village of Canton 12 years ago offered a simple challenge debate him and his anti-fluoride views.
After speaking before the City Council on Monday night, Paul H. Connett, a professor emeritus of chemistry at St. Lawrence University and the head of Fluoride Action Network, did not get any takers.
And he didnt expect he would.
For almost two hours, Mr. Connett gave several reasons he called them ugly facts why the city should remove fluoride from the water supply. He told council members not to believe such organizations as the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatricians because decades ago they said the chemical was safe and they would lose credibility if they reversed their decision now.
But council members can reverse the citys more than 50-year-old decision to add fluoride to the citys water system, said Mr. Connett, who co-authored a book called The Case Against Fluoride.
Its as easy to stop as turning off the spigot of the water drinking system, he said.
Mr. Connett, who has cited numerous studies that show fluoride can have dangerous side effects, contends that excessive fluoride exposure increases the risk of damaging tooth enamel. In the past 20 years, Mr. Connett has given more than 2,000 public presentations on fluoride, incineration and other solid waste issues.
About 20 people attended Monday nights work session to hear Mr. Connett speak, with just about all of them from a local anti-fluoride group that has been coming to council meetings to try to persuade the city to eliminate the colorless, tasteless chemical.
Dr. Andrew E.C. Crossley, president of the Jefferson-Lewis County Dental Society, was among the handful of pro-fluoride advocates at the meeting. Afterward he called Mr. Connett a marvelous speaker, but the local dentist said he had no interest in debating the chemist. And Mr. Connett did not persuade him to change his mind about fluoride.
Science isnt a debate, Dr. Crossley said. Science is about facts.
The regional chapter of the New York State Dental Association and individual dentists have come out in support of fluoridation. They say fluoride fights decay and should remain in the water supply. They also contend that reputable studies prove fluoridation is safe.
During the presentation, council members Jeffrey M. Smith and Joseph M. Butler Jr. asked several questions about Mr. Connetts stance, what they should to do to research the subject and why they should believe him when theres so much out there to contrary.
While they both said theyll keep an open mind on the topic, Mr. Butler said he has talked to his dentist of many years and got advice that fluoride stops tooth decay.
Id trust my dentist over you, he said. I dont know you. I dont know you that well.
The remark got a collective gasp from Watertown Anti-fluoridation Action, the group of more than 40 residents that invited Mr. Connett to attend the work session.

There is so very much I could say and tell you about. My life has done a 360 in the last few months and as I've been trying to process it and organise for it, there has been little time for keeping up with my usual routines.
And of course, the decision that we have made is once again turning our normal routines upside down for a brand, new start. After much deliberation, the Canadian and I have decided to move back to Australia. We don't know if this is the right choice, but for now, at this point in time, it is the right one for us. It's going to take lots of re-imagining and finding our way in the waters of a different kind of life again but I know that our adventurous hearts will guide us through.
We love and will miss the beautiful village life we've made here in Vancouver. I know I will certainly miss seeing those snow capped mountains each morning as I looked out our window. I will miss the ease and the stress-free day to day living a smaller city brings and hope that readjusting to the bigness of Sydney will be a fun change, rather than a troublesome one.
As I think of our new life, I have been imagining us close to the sea, taking daily walks by the beach. Fingers crossed that an apartment will be waiting for us when we are ready to find it in just the right place. I, of course, am overjoyed at being able to spend real time with my family and friends again and cannot wait to reconnect with them all. I'm already planning our Christmas gatherings. As excited as I am, we will leave here with heavy hearts, knowing that we once again have to say goodbye to people whom we love and to a place that will always be our home.
These images were all taken around Vancouver with my Polaroid 180 Land Camera and Fuji film.

My Grandmother's Butter Cookies
I only know my Grandmother Sophie through photographs, but I think of her and her baking legacy whenever I make these cookies and that is often. My mom used to put a chocolate chip in the middle of each, and I sometimes press a half of a pecan onto the top. Once for Halloween, I used food coloring to make them orange (not my proudest cookie). With or without these additions, they remain the most meltingly tender, most buttery cookies that I have ever eaten.
Makes 42 cookies
Measuring and mixing time 10 minutes
Baking 350 degrees F/180 degrees C/gas 4 for about 20 minutes
1 cup/225 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup/130 g sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
2 cups/255 g unbleached all-purpose flour
42 chocolate chips (optional)
42 pecan halves (optional)
Put the butter and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium speed just to blend, 15 seconds. Beat in the sugar until smoothly blended, 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed during the mixing. Mix in the yolks, vanilla and almond extract until smoothly blended, 1 minute. Reduce the speed to low and mix in the flour, mixing just until it is incorporated and a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal parts and on a large piece of plastic wrap, form each into a log about 7 in/17 cm long and 1 1/2 in/4 cm in diameter. Roll each back and forth to form a smooth cylinder and wrap in the plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight, until firm, or wrap aluminum foil over the plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
This frozen dough would be difficult to cut and should be defrosted in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight before it is sliced.
When ready to bake the cookies, position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Use a large sharp knife to cut each cold log into slices, about 1/3 in/8 mm thick. Place the cookies 1 1/2 in/4 cm apart on the baking sheets. Press a chocolate chip, flat side up, or a pecan half in the center of each cookie, if desired. Bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the edges become lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
The cookies can be stored in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Choices. Sprinkle colored sugar or chopped nuts over the cookies before baking them. Drizzle melted chocolate over the baked cookies or half dip the cookies in melted chocolate. Add 1 teaspoon of grated lemon or orange zest to the cookie dough. Mix 1 cup of mini-chocolate chips into the dough.
