Starting to feel jaded? Frustrated? Beyond exhausted? If you're at the point where your to do list is more of a novel than an achievable list, and you aren't sure HOW you can get it all done, you're at risk of business burnout.
Read Whole Story
When addressing the reasons that drive people to open a small business, it seems that we've always assumed women, specifically, leave corporate America to achieve a better work-life balance. A new survey of 300 women business owners (WBOs) suggests differently.
When asked any variation of "What do you do?" you have to have an answer ready. Even if you're just starting out on a project. Even if you've only written Chapter One. Even if you are launching your business two months from now.
Marketing is becoming more tech-savvy than the IT department. According to CIO Magazine CMOs are going to spend more than CIOs on technology, software and services.
What prevents small business owners from operating as visionary entrepreneurs who hire the right people and implement processes so their company can run like a well-oiled machine?
I've been self-employed for the majority of my 22 years in financial services. And I really wouldn't have it any other way. But once you leave working for someone else, you no longer get those paid sick days or vacation days.
My hope is that by the time my two daughters and two sons reach adulthood, we can stop talking about the number of female CEOs and the pay gap will be closed once and for all.
Women-owned businesses can be found in all industries and sizes, but many of them are hidden in plain sight in home-based enterprises. These small businesses are making a difference in local economies -- even those run from the family dining room table.
In the life of a driven entrepreneur, a trial-by-fire moment can set the stage for big success.
As we celebrate Women's Small Business Month this October, it is important to highlight the progress women business owners have made but also shed light on challenges they continue to face.
When it comes to running a well-oiled business of any kind, the success of it comes from how well the business owner was trained for that success. Fo...
Women-owned businesses are booming, starting at three times the rate for men. But imagine a world where women had equal access to capital, a fair shot at government procurement and capacity to grow beyond $500,000 in revenue, and the economic potential is far more exciting.
I have been an entrepreneur for 16 years and I am JUST starting to learn not to be so nice. I know what you may be thinking. I have used a provocative title to draw you in to read my post.
The Story Exchange's first ever list of Young Women to Watch shows a crop of female entrepreneurs who are shaking up traditional industries, spearheading social change and driving advances in medicine, technology and even transportation.
Two decades ago, as the World Wide Web came on the scene, Jeanette Hernandez Prenger saw an opportunity and started an information-technology consul...
Brown developed the KinderJam program in 2008, focusing on tactile learning for young children, and has used her connections within the military community to license her classes to teachers in 15 states and 10 countries.
For many mothers, starting their own business is the best way to fulfill their professional aspirations without the typical constraints of a corporate job.
Changing ourselves changes the world. In 2013, a group of daily givers, myself included, committed to provide seed funding to a fledgling social chan...
When someone at work asks you to share your hard-won wisdom with other women employees, do you balk and take yourself out of the game?
Female entrepreneurs report not being able to find funding at all, which could also be linked to gender bias. U.S. women who seek first-year financing receive about 80 percent less capital than men, according to research funded by the Kauffman Foundation.
Does it pay to be in business for yourself -- especially if you're a woman?
Recent data suggest yes, it does. The Fall 2013 Small Business Monitor, a ...
My children are everything to me and being a mother is a huge part of my identity. It has been for almost 15 years. That is except for the one year I was asked by my former boss, who also happened to be a woman, to tone down the "mommy thing."
Every speaker reiterated the importance of confidence in your idea, your vision and how you convey yourself to the business community. Many also reinforced exuding this confidence whether you have it or not.
For small business owners, being aware of risks and potential problems is important. But that information can either fuel our innovation and creativity or stifle it. It's our choice. Thinking outside of the box is risky, but it's what keeps us from becoming stagnant and irrelevant.
Many women business owners suffer from 'little old me' syndrome which is no help when you're trying to be super-productive.

So I have a question for you guys. If your horse was being boarded, and that price included a feeding in the morning, and hay when needed and you weren't getting those services, even when several boarders have reminded them about these things would you move? They cut their own hay and make it into round bales. None of the horses that are field boarded have had any kind of hay for the past 4 days, nor are they getting fed any kind of grain. We know that for sure because the women who is on self care who comes out twice a day, everyday, has never seen the horses eat in the morning. Plus, I feed my guy by himself in the evening and I have had to feed him more than he has ever gotten before just to maintain his weight, not to mention make up for the weight he is losing. There is no way they are getting fed everyday. My main concern is that it is now December and the grass that is still there has lost all of its nutritional value, and horses are GRAZERS, they need to be eating all day long! Not to mention the guy put a bull in one of the other fields, didn't tell anyone, and a girl who comes out after dark was charged at three times. After all, we are paying for a service and everything is written in a contract.
Would you guys be fed up with it too? Would you consider moving if you had a place to go?

The Blues announced the signing of Ba on a three-and-half-year contract after activating the £7million release clause in his Magpies contract, the value of which had controversially become public ahead of the transfer window.
It is the second time Ba has exploited such a clause since moving to English football, having been allowed to leave West Ham following their 2011 Barclays Premier League relegation.
But he has no regrets about his career path, revealing he had said to himself, "Yes I've done it", after being given permission to join Chelsea.
The Senegal star told the club's official website, www.chelseafc.com: "This club is at another level - it isn't West Ham or Newcastle.
"They are both big clubs with a strong history, but Chelsea is Chelsea and you cannot compare.
"It will be easier with world-class players around, who make the football look so easy."
He added: "On Thursday, I was looking back and smiling to myself, saying, `Yes, I've done it'.
"I feel very proud, not only for me but the people who supported me over the years - my agent for instance who has been there since I was 15, my mum as well because when I skipped school she was afraid but today I am very proud for my family.
"I never lost belief in my football though, never. You keep working and things come. Rewards always come."

Can too much of one make the other less enjoyable?
We've all read or heard how bicycling can affect men's sexual health. New studies show it may affect women as well:
"Spending time on a bicycle seat, which has been linked to erectile dysfunction in men, may also be a hazard to a woman's sexual health, a new study shows.
Many women who cycle or take spin classes are familiar with the numbness that sometimes can occur from sitting on a traditional bike seat. Bike seats are designed in such a way that body weight typically rests on the nose of the seat, which can compress nerves and blood vessels in the genital area. In men, this raises the risk of erectile dysfunction, something that has been documented in studies of male police officers on bicycle patrol.
But female cyclists have not been studied as closely. A study by Yale researchers in 2006 found that female cyclists had less genital sensation compared with a control group of female runners. As a result, some scientists believe that female cyclists probably are at similar risk for sexual problems as male riders."

San Francisco - Hopefully, Pablo Sandoval has a cell phone plan with unlimited texting.
The San Francisco Giants third baseman said Thursday afternoon he received 300 text messages after hitting three home runs in Game 1 of the World Series the previous evening against the Detroit Tigers.
Even Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez posted a tweet after the third homer.
"I still can't believe it," said Sandoval, who became only the fourth player to hit three homers in a Series game. "In the morning when I wake up, all the stuff, my friends keep texting me."
The Giants opened AT&T Park - it was called Pacific Bell Park back then - on April 11, 2000 with a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
On that day, Dodgers shortstop Kevin Elster socked three home runs to lead his team to a 6-5 victory, and Giants officials worried that they had built a band box.
But no player had hit three homers in a game here since until Sandoval joined Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols as the only players to do so in the World Series.
Barry Bonds never did it despite hitting 37 home runs at home in 2001 en route to his major-league record of 73 in a season.
By the way, the entire Giants team hit only 31 homers in their home park during the 2012 season.
"I just go up and swing the bat," said Sandoval, who never has been accused of being overly selective at the plate.
After hitting two home runs off Detroit ace Justin Verlander, Sandoval faced reliever Al Alburquerque in the fifth inning. The bat slipped out of his hands on a swing and sailed near the Tigers dugout, hitting a railing and chipping a piece off the knob. Unfazed, Sandoval picked out a new bat and hit his third homer.
"I don't get too much superstition," he said. "There's more bats in there to swing. It's not the bat. It's you."
And what happened to that broken bat?
"The guy from Cooperstown take it," replied Sandoval, breaking up the media corps.
When the Giants won the 2010 World Series against Texas, Sandoval played in just one game. He was out of favor then due to weight issues and lack of productivity.
"This is all about growing as a player through your experiences," manager Bruce Bochy said. "I know he was disappointed he wasn't out there, and he became a better player because of it.
"Now, he's showing the type of player he is on a consistent basis. The weight thing, that's going to be talked about a lot, and it's something he's going to have to keep under control."
Lincecum thrives in relief
All you need to know about the unpredictability of baseball is that Barry Zito started Game 1 for the Giants and Tim Lincecum pitched in long relief.
Zito once was public enemy No. 1 among Giants fans for not living up to his seven-year, $126 million free-agent contract. Now, somehow, at age 34 he has relocated his mojo.
Lincecum, on the other hand, was the darling of Giants fans, winning two Cy Young Awards at an early age.
Then, out of the blue, he came plummeting back to earth in 2012, leading the National League with 15 losses while posting a 5.18 earned run average.
Lincecum became so erratic he was removed from San Francisco's postseason starting rotation. But pitching in relief this October, he has also rediscovered his mojo, posting a 0.84 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings.
The pin-wheeling right-hander with the flowing mane was brilliant in relief of Zito in Game 1, retiring all seven hitters he faced with five strikeouts.
"I'm pretty comfortable right now," Lincecum said. "I'm just riding the adrenaline. My mentality is to just get my outs when I need to. That's pretty much all I'm thinking until they tell me I'm done."
Bochy noted the lift Lincecum has given the Giants with his work out of the bullpen this postseason.
"It's nice to have Timmy available in the bullpen," Bochy said. "He's really done a tremendous job for us, helping us there, filling some innings."
Valverde is lost
After Detroit's Jose Valverde melted down in ninth-inning appearances against Oakland and New York in the first two rounds of the playoffs, he was removed from the closer's role.
Manager Jim Leyland looked for a less-pressurized situation to insert Valverde, and he thought he had one in the seventh inning of Game 1, with the Giants ahead, 6-1.
But, after Valverde struck out Lincecum, he surrendered a double and three singles to the next four hitters, producing two runs.
Leyland opted to stop the carnage there and yanked Valverde from the game.
"He wasn't terrible; he just wasn't good," Leyland said. "For whatever reason, (the ball) just doesn't seem to be coming out (of his hand) quite right.
"You know, it's a little bit puzzling, to be honest with you. It looks like it's just not quite exploding. That's pretty much all I can say at this point."
At this point, you'd think Valverde has thrown his last pitch of the year, and perhaps his last for the Tigers.

Most commonly known as May's Birthstone, this lush, exotic, precious gemstone can actually be more valuable than a diamond if found with the proper shade of green. Their incomparable dark green color is produced only under extremely rare conditions, and because of this it can also result in tiny cavities and cracks within the stone. Inclusions are acceptable in even the most top-quality of emeralds.
Ancient History
- Emerald mines near the Red Sea called "Cleopatra's Mines" were used by the Pharaohs to gather gems between 3000 and 1500 B.C.
- The Incas and Aztecs of South America once worshiped emeralds as a holy stone,
- In India the Maharajas had treasure vaults filled with emeralds - the gem they believed to bring luck and health.
- In Roman Mythology emeralds symbolized the beauty and love of the goddess Venus, and was also associated with Mercury who was known to be the messengers of the Gods, and of travel. Allowing us to understand why the emerald is commonly referred to as the Traveler's Protection Stone.
Mystical Properties
Emerald is a stone of love and romance. It brings and enhances joy, cleansing, clairvoyance, memory, and faith. It also benefits intuition and communication, and promotes truthfulness. The emerald is the sacred stone of the goddess Venus, and was thought to preserve love. The emerald has long been the symbol of hope, and is considered by many to be the stone of prophecy. For some, the emerald acts as a tranquilizer for a troubled mind. It is said to bring the wearer reason and wisdom. For the emerald the strongest time for their powers is said to be spring.
In several cultures the emerald was the symbol for fertilizing rain. In the Christian faith it is the symbol of faith and hope.
Healing Properties
Emeralds are known to heal both the physical heart as well as emotional love. A powerful high energy stone, the emerald strengthens the eyes, heart, immune and nervous systems, and is even known to help heal back pains.
The power of the Emerald is highest at the full moon. Some cultures thought the emerald would heal any disease of the eye. The emerald would be placed in a container of water overnight and the water would be poured on the eyes the next day.
Magical Properties
Energy: Receptive
Element: Earth
Powers: Love, money, mental powers, protection, exorcism, eyesight
Deities: Diana/Artemis, Venus
Emerald is known as a tonic for the body as it aids in alignment of all the bodies. Extremely balancing for anyone seeking the truth. Emeralds are said to ward of negativity and to strengthen spiritual insight, and when used as a scrying stone can also foretell the future.

If you watched "The Voice" last season and were a fan of Minnesota's own Nicholas David (who also has family that lives in the Twin Ports) then you'll be excited to hear that he'll be headlining this year at Duluth's Fourth Fest at Bayfront Festival Park.
Americans across the country celebrate Memorial Day in honor of those who have died while in the military service. Though it's a day of remembrance, it also kicks off the most fun part of the year -- summer! For many, Memorial Day signals the beginning of beach season and barbecues. So let's celebrate America with these fun GIFs!
Got any Memorial Day plans? Maybe you're heading to a parade and dressing up in those American flag shorts (guilty). Or perhaps heading to the public pool to kick off swimming season is more your style. Whatever you do, there's one Memorial Day staple that all Americans must experience on Monday— the BBQ.
We all know that teachers play a key role in helping our children succeed, and sometimes a simple "thanks" is all a teacher needs to feel valued. That, and chocolate, ibuprofen, and earplugs. But seriously, it's a great reminder to take the time to celebrate teachers and show your appreciation during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6th-10th!

Ok guys, this one's for you. There's no rule that states you must make dinner reservations and plan a night out on the town for Valentine's Day. As a matter of fact, many women (myself included) would probably LOVE to have their man take over the kitchen and do a romantic dinner in. Afterward, how about cuddling up with her on the couch and popping in a great Romantic Comedy YOU picked out? I'm not suggesting you have to succumb to "The Notebook" in order to please her.

It isn't available yet. The film was finished and screened for an audience back in 1984. The film isn't the same quality of "A Time To Heal", as it was filmed during their senior year of high school. It is a student film.
The film still needs to be transferred from Super-8 to digital so it can be put online. Chances are, it will be posted after "A Time To Heal" is made available online, although that could change. Personally, I think it would be fun to see the high school film first!
I've posted a few of those even with no follow-up films...

The future of design at Lexus is before your eyes. The core concept behind the LF-Gh Hybrid Concept: balancing style and funcitonality, with an eye to performance, efficiency, and "environmental compatibility."
These design themes and cues will "migrate" into future Lexus vehicles, says the company, even though some are "often considered contradictory and difficult to execute together," said Kengo Matsumoto, general manager, Lexus design division.
The LF-Gh in particular presages the updated GS sedan range, though we expect many of the sharper, more dramatic edges to be rounded off by the time it reaches production form. In fact, Mark Templin, Lexus division group vice president and general manager, is already hedging his bets: "We look forward to [customer] feedback and integrating some of these exciting design features into future Lexus vehicles."

Really good, tasty, creamy soup made with a minimum of cream. The cheese and lemon really finish off the flavors. I took someone's suggestion and added wild mushroom tortellini to this just before serving, and, inspired to make this soup a meal on its own, added a bunch of pencil-thin asparagus, cut on the diagonal into 1.5" lengths and microwaved just till cooked. Actually, the asparagus was the biggest hit! I'd definitely make it again--it's quick, too, if you roast the garlic a day ahead.flag if inappropriate
yum!! This is a very good soup to serve as a first course even if it's just family. Must use the lemon juice.flag if inappropriate
I've made this several times and always get rave reviews. This time I had forgotten to purchase some fresh parmesean so I used shredded provolone instead. Tasted great! Don't forget the lemon. It's a must.flag if inappropriate
This is one of my new favorites. Don't be afraid of the large quantity of garlic. It tastes suprisingly mellow and oh, so yummy.flag if inappropriate
I've made this soup several times for guest and it always gets two thumbs up. When I want to really make em smile I add some portobella tortellini right before serving. I've never had any leftover so I'm not sure how well this keeps. I do know you'll keep the vampires away!flag if inappropriate
I've made this recipe, then lost my Feb 99 issue. I'm so glad to have found it on the www. It's a wonderful soup to enjoy by the fire.flag if inappropriate
I just had to try this after reading the reviews. It is sensational - even better than I expected.flag if inappropriate

This soup is great!! The lemon is a must and I have found that dry thyme does as well as fresh. I make this soup all of the time and my does the house smell good - even if my breath doesn't!flag if inappropriate

Robots are being used more widely than expected in a variety of sectors, and the trend is likely to continue with robotics becoming as ubiquitous as computer technology over the next 15 years.
That is the message Henrik Christensen, Georgia Tech's KUKA Chair of Robotics in the College of Computing, will bring to the Congressional Robotics Caucus on March 20 as he presents "A Roadmap for U.S. Robotics: From Internet to Robotics - 2013 Edition."
The report, which outlines the progress of robots in multiple industries over the last five years and identifies goals for the coming decade, highlights robotics as a key economic enabler with the potential to transform U.S. society.
"Robots have the potential to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., to improve our quality of life and to make sure our first responders and warfighters stay safe," said Christensen, who is also the coordinator of Robotics VO, sponsor of the report. "We need to address the technical and educational needs so we can continue to be leaders in developing and using robotic technology."
A group of more than 160 experts from universities, industry and government came together for five workshops over the last year to fully evaluate the use of robotics across various applications and create a roadmap to the future. Christensen is presenting that report to lawmakers as a guide on how to allocate resources to maximize progress.
Most notably, the group found using robots in manufacturing could help generate production systems that are economically competitive to outsourcing to countries with lower wages.
Companies such as Apple, Lenovo, Samsung and Foxconn already have begun to "reshore" manufacturing by using robotics in production systems. The sale of robotics in manufacturing grew by 44 percent in 2011 as robots have become cheaper and safer. The use of robots is shifting from big companies such as General Motors, Ford, Boeing and Lockheed Ma

2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD Long-Term Update 5
TSI turbo ทุกรุ่น ประหยัดเชื้อเพลิงน้อยกว่า FSI ทุกเครื่อง อยู่ 4 เท่า
TSI turbo ทุกรุ่น ประหยัดเชื้อเพลิงน้อยกว่า 1.4L TSI twincharger ทุกเครื่อง อยู่ 3 เท่า
Does anyone own a 2013 jetta s automatic 6 speed w/ sport mode if so do you also get horrible gas I also want to know is there anyway I could fix like maybe adding an aftermarket intake I heard that they improve the gas mileage please let me know because I'm tired of spending money on gas I can't belive that the turbocharged jetta engines get better gas mileage then the non turbocharged engines I would understand if I had power to back it up but in order to get descent power I have to put it on sport mode but if I do there goes my gas tank.
I'm very very upset because I bought a 2013 base model jetta s and I get horrible gas mileage 29 on the HWY and if I put it on sport mode its worst but I think something is wrong because its just bad and it was brand new when I purchase this car I hope VW either trades me to a new car or something because I can't even go and take a ride because I know that by the time I get back I need to refill the tank again I traded it for my 2005 saturn ion and I miss that car because it would give almost 38 MPG.
about time we got the multilink rear suspension like my old Mazda 3.....and a turbo available on the base VW....on which I started steering with the back end...unless the Jetta has gotten too cheap re the Golf since they lost me. Europe had the suspension all along...so they are not out of practice.there.
The rumble of the torquey 5 cyl. is a joy to listen to (more like a boxer engine sound) than a thrashy, shrill underpowered 4 cylinder. Still, the 1.8T looks to be a great improvement.
I've been driving a TDI 6MT for over a year now, and its great car, even compared to the 123-type Mercedes diesel it replaced. Mileage, of course, is terrific (37 - 40 mpg in town, and 45 mpg on two 1,000+ mile trips with the cruise set around 80 mph). But recently drove a few hundred miles solo, and came back with about 150 lb. in the trunk, and ride was much better. I understand the IRS mounts basically with just the connections and 4 large mounting bolts, and is swap two guys can do in an hour. Now that there'll be more in the junkyard without having to find a GLI or an Audi A3, that may be on my agenda if I keep this car as long I plan to. Better compliance, a 15mm lower height - just like putting a little weight in the back, but with better dynamics too.
I just test drove this car today. It was the base version, with a sticker under $20K. What a fantastic driving car! It has effortless acceleration when getting onto a highway, and you are up to 70+ mph in no time. The clutch is excellent, the throttle responsive, and the 5-speed manual is great. You don't need a 6th gear. The automatic hill-hold assist is a very nice feature. I'm glad VW has decided to bring this over to the US. European customers have enjoyed this for a couple of years. I've driven many cars with manual transmissions over the years, ranging from inexpensive compacts to luxury cars. The combination of engine and transmission in the 2014 Jetta 1.8T is one of the best I have experienced in recent years.
The Volkswagen Jetta has come a long way in the last few years. I remember the plain sedan look of the early 2000 Jettas, despited Used VW Jettas from those years not being as stylish as the current 2014 Jetta model lineup, they were still very popular. There's so many Volkswagen enthusiasts clubs in New Jersey alone that have a huge following of the older Volkswagen Jettas.
Nice car. I think the 2013 with the 5 cylinder was underrated by the automotive press, especially since the SE finally added back some of the nice interior features the MkV Jetta had. The car was roomy, the seats & driving position excellent, the handling decent, and the interior materials were no worse than about half of its competition. I prefer the feel of the 2010 Jetta, but the fact that I see many times more 2011+ Jettas than all of the 2005-2010 run suggests they did something very right for the American market.
The 5 cylinder engine was torquey and great for everyday driving but had certainly grown long in the tooth. The 1.8T looks like a great replacement. Hopefully it will be as reliable as the 2.5 has been.
"With a reputation for being somewhat rougher than more modern I-4s and lacking low-end torque"
WTF are you talking about? Low-end torque IS what the 5 cylinder is known for. Has been for years. Do I need to provide links to numerous reviews since 2006 to show you what every other publication has figured out but you?
i owned a 2005 Jetta with the 2.5 liter 5 cylinder. way too many eletrical problems and had to get it towed to the dealership. Mayne just my bad luck, but I swore off VW after that. too many exciting cars to choose from nowadays. though it had really sharp handling and a nice ride....the small problems were a deal breaker
I've been critical of the Jetta before and have to say that many of the changes are actual improvements that address former weaknesses. I also have to say that I believe there are still better options in the compact class, particularly with VW's 5 speed manual epic fail (for a 2014 sporty compact). I will finally say to compact shoppers that the new Jetta at least deserves a test drive before writing it off, which is more than I can say about a non-GLI 2013.
5 speed MT! Why not 6? But then again could it could be 4. And that's the German engineering!
Rory, for $20k people want a reliable car, and people do get what they pay for. They just get it somewhere else.
Anywhere else.....
Good bye beam axle, hello 21st century. The newest Jetta is definitely less of a POS than last year. Now if they could only put more character back into the sheet metal rather that emulate Toyo-duh.
@Eddie Fernandez you're kidding, right? you are complaining about 29mpg HWY? what was the car rated at when you bought it?
and its usually a safe bet that putting any vehicle into "sport mode" is going to lower the fuel mileage.
@scooter-yo ...you read my mind..my first VW SuperBeetle had the boxer engine AND the fully independent double U-joint rear suspension BEFORE that super bug got a bulgy nose and fwd
@heyfred3000 ..so the diesel was the only Jetta with an IRS...thanks for the reminder while I'm waiting for to see if the new Mazda 2.2L diesel will come to America...if not, this one gets the NOD..
@Emajor75 ..no but not as much low-end grunt as a diesel or a turbo...and the Germans like the Americans love that low end grunt
@92Vectra1.6i Ask TDI owners about their 6MT. Its a fine unit, but many leave it in 5th and claim to get better mileage. 5 well spaced ratios still work fine, especially in an engine with good low end torque. I personally drive my TDI in 6th on the highway as I've always been skeptical of that claim. I also shift from 4th to 6th and bypass 5th about 99% of the time. You guys need to get of the couch sometime and stop paper racing.
How is the 5 speed manual a fail?:
"when equipped with
the base five-speed manual gearbox. Driving through the Napa Valley, the
new engine felt engaging and willing – a 2.0T "Lite,"
Others reviews of this 1.8T mentioned that the 5 speed was fine given the engine's broad torque curve.
The lower trim levels of the Jetta aren't intended to be "sporty". The Civic still has a 5 speed manual, and 5 speed automatic. The Sentra has a CVT, so what is the issue? The GLI comes with a 6 speed DSG or 6 speed manual, and the automatic option on the lower trim levels is a 6 speed auto, or on the hybrid a 7 speed DSG. Your comments are pointless.
What's wrong with a 5 speed? The Jetta is no sports car and the 5 speed works well with the new 1.8T. If you need a 6 speed, it is offered in the Tiguan, GLI, GTI, Jetta TDI, Passat TDI, Golf TDI, Golf R, Beetle TDI, Sportwagen TDI, Beetle Turbo, and CC.
@googanga Again, a 6MT is nothing special in cars like this. I drive a TDI 6MT and skip from 4th to 6th 99% of the time. It is quite literally just an extra step if you were to row through all 6 gears. Lots of gears may pay of at the track, having the perfect RPM for each corner, but 5 well spaced gears is pretty ideal for normal street use. 6MT's sound better on paper than it works in the real world.
You can have poor fuel efficiency, or low quality. You can't have both. Wait a minute.....
"but slightly more expensive than Toyota's LE trim Corolla. As true as ever, you get what you pay for."
And who are you to say what people WANT in their cars? Why can't some people simply prefer one that drives/performs better than one that will simply last longer?
@BlackDynamite. Another VW post, another couple of intelligent comments from BD. Not a surprise to long time readers.
This new engine will prove to be a big success, not only in the Jetta, but also in the Golf, regardless of what people who have never driven a VW say.
Toyota - reliable but seriously?...132hp AND A FIVE SPEED MANUAL! Gutless ricebox.
@redbloodedxy I honestly just think some more interesting wheels would help spurce things up. Most of the other cars in this segment offer a wide array of 17/18" wheels whereas the Jetta gets stuck with boring 16" wheels on most models and pretty mediocre 17" wheels on the SEL trim. I would like to see some optional wheels on this product.
I may be willing to bet real money that most autojournalists and nearly every person on these boards--myself included--could be plopped down into a Jetta with the beam axle, told by VW corporate that it was the new IRS, and then subsequently rave about how much better the IRS is after their test drive.
What Toyota does this look like?
@redbloodedxy But it's still POS.
I understand its a kind of supercharger which provides boost at low RPMs (where turbos are weak) and turbo boost at high RPMs (where turbos are strongest) where this new model 1.8 TSI/TFSI is concerned that makes this engine a winner.
@notimprezed @92Vectra1.6i
Quiet you! The internet forums are never wrong, particularly on cars we've never driven! If someone passionately claims that a transmission is lousy simply because it lacks a 6th gear, then by god they're right.
It wasn't just a "fail" according to the op, it was an eloquent "EPIC FAIL"! .....apparantly?
Corolla also - 5 speed manual.
@Fields Carlisle And don't forget, the constantly praised Focus has a 5-speed and not a single soul complains...
@SYMAWD @92Vectra1.6i A 5 speed manual in a 2014 German sporty compact sedan is just sad no matter how hard you try to excuse it...
@BlackDynamite. @googanga
36 mpg with a 7.3 0-60 aren't stats I'd be mocking. I'll gladly sacrifice 4 mpg to not have a 10 second 0-60. Low quality remains to be determined; Golfs and Jettas with the 2.5 have had pretty good reliability ratings. We'll see what happens when most of them get 100K on them.
I tested jetta, focus, civic, corolla, impreza, forte and elantra....then went back to jetta. In its class, that " something" i cant quite figure out thats so uniquely stylish yet understated in look and ride quality, is just not present with any other car in this size category.
Totally get that, I didnt know prior to my first 2.5 jetta, and wouldnt of known or noticed if there hadnt been such hoopla about it.
@Emajor75 @redbloodedxy You're right.
Not to be rude, but American drivers are so lazy & distracted that >95% choose a slushbox automatic transmission rather than a DSG or manual transmission, many of those claiming that they are superior drivers.
Likewise, look at the most popular modifications made to cars -- almost all of them decrease vehicle dynamic performance.
These sad facts indicate how few people actually care about vehicle dynamic performance.
@Emajor75 @redbloodedxy
I have driven several of the MK6 Jetta;s with the fixed rear and it still drove quite nice and relatively dynamic. If I didn't know otherwise, I would have guess it were IRS. For most of these drivers, the difference is completely undetectable.
One that toyota wishes they made.
@redbloodedxy. As is some folks ability to discuss intellectually.
@googanga @redbloodedxy
Or now one of the best in the segment for sure.
Wasnt meant to go head to head with the gli. The gli is sporty, i agree, i tested one yesterday, and most assuredly, it needs 6th gear, especially on track day. But the 1.8 is not meant to be "sporty",rather, "spirited" or "lively" and it is i assure you.
So if vw had 7 spd manual trans and it jetta had a 6, youd be that person who thinks 6 is sad too! Just because 6 is "more" than 5, doesnt make it necessary, or even advantageous. I tested it, was pleasantly surprised by the 5 spd. The shift through each of the gears is long enough for each to be completely and effectively utilized. I liked it so much i bought one! 6th gear not needed, vw designed this transmission correctly for this engine. They kinda know what they are doing in this regard.
Focus - 5 speed (2.0) , Corolla - 5 speed (also 1.8), impreza - 5 speed ( 2.0). Theres more people who bypass 5th entirely to get to sixth, or not use sixth at all as unless its a ferrari, its useless!. Just because theres more gears, doesnt make it necessary or an improvement!
Right...and i bet you were also "SOLD" due to the same level of ignorance on a 2.4 ghz portable phone being better than a 900mhz? LOL. (Gotta have MORE!)
@TornadoGT1 @Tibbz @92Vectra1.6i @SYMAWD oh stop it with all of the VW trolls, There's no need to drive a 2014 car to know it should offer a six speed manual as standard equipment. I've given VW credit for getting off their a$$es and ditching the garbage beam axle (cue the fan-folks to tell me how great VW managed to make the ride and handling despite their penny pinching) and I'll be happy to give credit when they pitch the five speed joke of a manual and the absolutely ridiculous and pitiful 20+ year old standard 2.0 SUCK, I mean SOHC in the dumpster with it.
@Tibbz @92Vectra1.6i @SYMAWD
Agreed. For UNDER $20k to start this is quite a bit of car for the money. High tech 1.8T, IRS, 4-Wheel Discs, Heated Leatherette Seats, Partial Power Seats, SIRIUS/XM, etc.
You aren't getting just about ANY of that in ANY other car in the segment for that kind of money.
I think one thing VW could work on on the Jetta now is the cosmetics. Not an entirely new look but some better looking/larger wheels and maybe a revised/optional 'sport' body kit might liven things up.
I would like to see a Jetta Wolfsburg with the SE w/ Conn. equipment but with 17"/18" wheels and the 'Body Styling Kit' for $23k or so... That would be quite nice to me.
@92Vectra1.6i @SYMAWD
Its the base powertrain lol, they have to keep price down for the BASE model. Compare it to other BASE offerings and this is quite the looker
@92Vectra1.6i @SYMAWD
"5 speed manual in a 2014 German sporty compact sedan is just sad no matter how hard you try to excuse it..."
No, repeatedly claiming that it needs another gear when a) you haven't driven it, and b) those who have say that it doesn't need it because of the engine's power curve is sad no matter how hard you try to justify it.
Give 'er a spin and come back to us with a real assessment, otherwise you're just blowing smoke.
@SYMAWD With the IRS replacing the garbage beam axle the suspension tune should be more like the European Jetta, which may not be all that sporty but is far sportier than Domestic offerings like the Cruze and non-ST Focus or Asian offerings like the Corolla and Elantra. Even if it rides like a marshmallow, a 2014 anything should have six speeds with a manual.
It's not sporty though. The GLI is sporty and has a 6 speed. The Jetta drives nicely, but in no way would I call it sporty.
I had absolutely no trouble with my 2.5s reliability factor during the 4 years i had her.
@Emajor75 @BlackDynamite. @googanga
Right, I agree entirely with the performance/efficiency trade-off. The Jetta TDI is the true mileage miser.
And the quality of VW is among the best, even if their reliability (two different things) is spotty.

TEMPE, Ariz. The timing of molar emergence and its relation to growth and reproduction in apes is being reported by two scientists at Arizona State University's Institute of Human Origins in the Dec. 28 online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
From the smallest South American monkeys to the largest African apes, the timing of molar development and eruption is closely attuned to many fundamental aspects of a primate's biology, according to Gary Schwartz, a researcher at the Institute of Human Origins and an associate professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change in ASU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"Knowing the age when the first molar appears in the mouths of most primates allows researchers to predict a host of life history attributes, such as gestation length, age at sexual maturity, birth spacing, and overall lifespan. Humans are unique among primates because our life histories are so slow and thus our molars emerge relatively late. Given that apes are our closest living relatives, understanding the broader context of when the characteristic slower development of humans evolved is of great interest," Schwartz explains.
"We've known quite a bit about the timing of molar development in chimpanzees, which is important because they are our closest living relative. However, we've known virtually nothing about when this important event occurs in other wild-living ape species until now," says lead author Jay Kelley, a research affiliate at ASU's Institute of Human Origins and an associate professor in the Department of Oral Biology at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
Because of the difficulties in obtaining tooth emergence ages from animals in the wild, Kelley opted for other means; he searched for specimens in museums. At the Zoologische Staatssammlung in Munich he found skulls of a wild-shot orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) and gorilla (G

Democracy: Not all its Cracked Up to Be
Is Democracy really all its cracked up to be? Does Hong Kong really need it? That's the question Chris Campbell ponders today as he observes the protests in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has enjoyed low taxes, free business and trade, and high social freedom without our favored system of governing.
The second part of this two-part article reveals an untold part of the story about how they were stopped last time. And shows how, if not again stopped, how it could lead to a fundamental loss of civil rights and freedom on the Internet.
The offending legislation was barreling down the track, seemingly — even in the eyes of the big Internet companies — unstoppable. According to Seamus Kraft, a former Congressional aide intimately involved with stopping the attempted hijacking:
"Enter Team Issa, just before Thanksgiving 2011. A markup for the legislation had been scheduled for mid-December. We had three weeks to interdict a scheme that had been in the works for years. And the schemers had all the money and all the guns.
"Team Issa decided that its only hope was to alert the world — and allow a counterforce to mobilize and tell their government how crippling passing this legislation would be. We went into a whiteboarding session — me and three developers — walked into a room and walked out two days later, bleary eyed.
"What we had developed, nicknamed Madison, is something that would allow everyone to participate, constructively, in the writing of bills. Basically, we hacked together a way that brings in everyone who had been shut out of the process."
An upshot of that event, not so incidentally, is OpenGovFoundation.org, underwritten mostly by the Knight Foundation and headed by Kraft, bringing constituent light into the legislative and rulemaking process. For his work Kraft was dubbed one of "the 20 most innovative people in democracy 2012" by Techcrunch.com). Kraft:
"We used this program during the legislative markup. Bills live or die by their markup. We broadcast a stable video stream of the proceedings… while following line by line. We used it to give other user proposals thumbs up and thumbs down. Everything from a Congressional markup was modeled online. And we used it to identify who was taking what out and who was putting what in… tearing away the shroud of secrecy and injecting accountability.
"Citizens actually could participate and make their voices heard. At last, someone authentically had invited all the stakeholders into the room. Rep. Issa and other champions, notably Chaffetz and Polis, used this mechanism to ask hard questions and access the know how. It was revolutionary.
"Issa and his allies — backed, online, in real time, by real experts — threw everything they had at the proponents during two marathon days of hearings. Issa proposed amendments to this high-handed bill that the proponents just couldn't even respond to.
"The proponents hadn't anticipated sustained or sophisticated opposition. Here they were, in front of the whole world, confronting egregious injustices baked into the proposed legislation.
"Issa kept hammering the committee all day Thursday and Friday. By the end of the day Friday, when it was clear that Issa was just warming up, the chairman suspended the markup. Congress recessed for Christmas."
That recess gave the forces of Freedom for the Internet (and of speech, the press, and assembly), of whom Aaron Swartz was by the most credible accounts the most important leader, time to rally. Big players, like Wikipedia, Reddit, and Google, began to organize for a Jan. 18, 2012 Web uprising. The snowball started by Aaron Swartz over a year before had become an avalanche.
Issa and his allies provided the Freedom Fighters a clean focal point. Kraft:
"Jan. 18 was chosen because Issa, as chairman, had scheduled a Government Oversight Committee hearing to bring in the experts for that date. With Wikipedia preparing to close shop that day, Google draping its logo in black, and so forth, much of the Internet would be dark… or loudly protesting. But the video stream of the House of Representatives would be live. The combination could have caused the largest "viral video" in history.
"SOPA's proponents knew that such a campaign could finish them off — forever. They chose a tactical retreat. The bill was formally determined, by leadership and the committee chairman, to be killed a few days before the scheduled hearing."
The Irresistible Force of the popular will met, and merged with, the Immovable Object of a handful of courageous lawmakers. So ended SOPA.
At least, so ended SOPA 1.0. A sequel, it appears, has been greenlighted by the Motion Picture Association or its constituents. Now creep back those who scheme to take the wild, fertile, and free Internet, throw barbed wire around it, and turn it into a hunting preserve for Hollywood and record companies.
About six months before he died Aaron Swartz recited a truly chilling anecdote. It reveals something about what's really going on: a desire by those with power to crush liberty.
From a rush transcript published by DemocracyNow.org of Swartz's keynote address at Freedom to Connect:
"I was at an event, and I was talking, and I got introduced to a U.S. senator, one of the strongest proponents of the original… bill, in fact. And I asked him why, despite being such a progressive, despite giving a speech in favor of civil liberties, why he was supporting a bill that would censor the Internet. And, you know, that typical politician smile he had suddenly faded from his face, and his eyes started burning this fiery red. And he started shouting at me, said, 'Those people on the Internet, they think they can get away with anything! They think they can just put anything up there, and there's nothing we can do to stop them! They put up everything! They put up our nuclear missiles, and they just laugh at us! Well, we're going to show them! There's got to be laws on the Internet! It's got to be under control!'
"Now, as far as I know, nobody has ever put up the U.S.'s nuclear missiles on the Internet. I mean, it's not something I've heard about. But that's sort of the point. He wasn't having a rational concern, right? It was this irrational fear that things were out of control. Here was this man, a United States Senator, and those people on the Internet, they were just mocking him. They had to be brought under control. Things had to be under control. And I think that was the attitude of Congress. And just as seeing that fire in that Senator's eyes scared me, I think those hearings scared a lot of people. They saw this wasn't the attitude of a thoughtful government trying to resolve trade-offs in order to best represent its citizens. This was more like the attitude of a tyrant. And so the citizens fought back."
Aaron Swartz is dead now, at age 26. He took his own life after having been tyrannized by the United States Department of Justice, hounded by a prosecutor as merciless as Inspector Javert of Les Miserables infamy. Chairman Issa has written to Attorney General Holder: "The suggestions that prosecutors did in fact seek to make an example out of Aaron Swartz because Demand Progress exercised its First Amendment rights in publicly supporting him raises new questions about the Department's handling of the case."
One last time — and perhaps with even more potentially powerful ramifications — Darrell Issa's integrity — the Immovable Object — joins with the Irresistible Force of the spirit of the people's paladin, Aaron Swartz. Perhaps Swartz's death will unleash a more explosive force for freedom than Big Government's agents foresaw. "You can't win, Vader. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
Meanwhile, evidence shows Big Hollywood and the Big Record Industry, again conniving with Big Government, to appropriate the Internet: SOPA 2.0. If they succeed… we — hello Sir Tim — might as well change the Web's name to C2P2: "Concentration Camp Penny Pritzker." Let Anonymous take note.
Stopping SOPA, thereby keeping our Constitutional rights protected on the Internet, was a near thing. If Issa had not, by pure chance (or Providence), been a member of the relevant committee; if a scheduling conflict had kept him from the hearing; if he had just missed the cue; if he did not chair another committee giving him clout… the Internet might now, effectively, belong to Sony, Time-Warner, Disney et. al… protected, for them, by a minefield of embedded felony statutes under the pretext of "property rights."
Let us hope that the more affluent beneficiaries of freedom of speech, of the press and of assembly — the founders of Google, Paypal, Twitter and Facebook, for example — take note — and honor the memory of Aaron Swartz. These entrepreneurs flourish, as we all flourish, from an equitable balance of property rights and civil liberty.
Let us pray Silicon Valley doesn't get caught napping again. Next time could be the last time. Much of free speech, in practice, could be relegated from the Web to… taggers.
The Bill of Rights — including freedom of speech, the press, assembly — on the Web as elsewhere — is far too precious to take for granted.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
No to SOPA 2.0.
— Ralph Benko

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) (the "Company") today reported financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2009.
Bill Sheriff, Brookdale's CEO, said, "We are happy with our strong results this quarter which build on the success of the first two quarters this year. We believe our platform is operating effectively in today's difficult environment as evidenced by our results, and is well positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities. Without being unduly aggressive, we are evaluating and deploying capital in long-term growth opportunities, including both acquisitions and expansions, especially those that fit well within our ancillary services footprint. Last month, we announced our first acquisition since 2007 and one which fits firmly within this strategy."
Mark Ohlendorf, Co-President and CFO of Brookdale, commented, "Our business continues to perform well with recurring CFFO per share increasing dramatically to $0.43 from $0.30 in the third quarter last year. This growth includes over $1.5 million of start-up losses related to the opening of new expansions this quarter. Same-community Facility Operating Income ("FOI") results also showed substantial improvement of 11.7% aided by both revenue growth and strong expense management. We have continued the roll-out of ancillary services, materially increasing our ancillary profitability per unit, from $128 of monthly FOI per occupied unit last year to $206 this quarter. Our operating stability combined with our strong liquidity profile positions us well for long-term value creation."
Financial Results
Total revenue for the third quarter was a record $505.8 million, an increase of $23.6 million, or 4.9%, from the third quarter of 2008. The increase in revenue was prima

Historical Traveler Reviews Paki Maui Resort Lahaina
Best vacation ever
If you want a breathtaking ocean view on a small budget, then this is the place! The room was very clean and we no problems, it was a perfect vacation! Who needs A/C when you can open the windows and a cool ocean breeze fills the room! My wife and I will be returning to the Paki Maui next year.
This was the most awful hotel I stayed at. Don't every stay there if you have to. The travel agent said that it was renovated but when we got there the only thing that looked renovated was the garden. There was no A/C, it was noisy, and we felt unsecure. In the 2 days that we were there (till we moved to a better hotel.) there were 2 police visits due to stolen hotel guest property. We ended up having to stay at another hotel.
Stayed in better
We stayed at Paki Maui in February 2003 for 10 nights. It is a good value and the view is pretty good. The pool set up is o.k. but pretty small and you can't really see the ocean from the bushes planted around the pool.
We stayed at Napili Shores in 2002 and it was a much nicer place and area. More traditional for Hawaii and great restaurants within walking distance of your room. The pool is right on a grassy area overlooking beautiful Napil Bay. Whale watching from this place is EXCELLENT and snorkeling is unbelievable. I will definetely stay somewhere along the Napili Bay when we return!
Million dollar view from a $10 balcony
We stayed at the Paki Maui from 7/14-7/28. We reserved a partial ocean view room that had a fabulous sweeping view of the ocean and across the channel to Molokai. Unfortunately the condo was run down. There had been an extensive water leak under the kitchen sink that was "fixed" but the dry rot and mold was still there, along with a gaping hole through the bottom of the cabinet and a very musty, moldy odor that permeated the entire kitchen. There were other several maintenance & housekeeping issues, but not as serious at the water leak. The clothes washer and dishwasher were marginally functional. After bringing these issues to the attention of the management, we learned that each condo is privately owned and it is the owner's responsibility to maintain it, therefore each condo is unique. A brief look at other units indicated that they were better maintained and more tastefully decorated. If you stay at the Paki Maui, get assurance that you stay in one of the nicer units.
My wife hated the place from the time we opened the door to the dingy 1 br 1 ba condo. It was run down and poorly maintained. My wife says we will never go return there. Next time we'll stay at a hotel. On the plus side, the staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms have no AC, but if u let the constant breeze blow through the rooms it is bearable.
There is no beach to speak of. If you want to swim you need to go to drive somewhere else. Parking is not a problem. In one sentence, I was disappointed with the accommodations.
Great Value
Over the years we have checked many locations in Maui for the best accommodations in terms of price and quality. Paki Maui has consistently stood out as a great value! With rooms right along the oceanfront and views of Molokai and Lanai, fresh ocean breezes and a tropical inner courtyard, Paki Maui is a quiet and peaceful retreat.
Clean and tastefully decorated, and recently renovated, there is a great selection of rooms with kitchenettes and more than one bedroom for up to four guests. We are taking our entire wedding party there this year! A dependable place to return to, year after year... our family favorite!
****Unbelievably.......breath taking!!!!
The Best Vacation every, We LOVED our oceanfront room...We had the 2 bedroom 2 bath, It was absolutely beautiful...The staff was very pleasant and Helpful.. Planning my next trip and staying here again. 5 Stars*****
Pretty cool place!
Great location...we had the oceanfront room...it was absolutely heavenly. Very helpful staff. Nice rooms and decor. Good kitchenette. In house service to help activities planning. The only negative was the carpet which was a little worn down. This place is awesome!
Paki Maui
This was our third time to the Paki Maui. Although the room we were just in could use a little work it was still very very nice the best part is the lanai, we go in March and the whale watching was the best from our lanai. The property is very nice and the beach(small area) lawn was a great place to relax and swim. If you like something a little on the more private side(not touristy) Then is a great place. Close to all the touristy stuff and a great fish market across the street to get your supper. They even give you all the spices you need. We did have to buy some pans cause the ones they had were no good, but we went to the salvation army for that $3 for 2 good no stick pans. Anyway we will be back next year:) Oh and the rooms are very clean. good maid service too.
So happy with this condo!
I spent months online looking for just the right place to stay for my family of 5. I was so nervous about choosing online....in the end you are just choosing from a picture. We were so delighted and thrilled with our condo. It had SPECTACULAR views, truly ocean front, nice and quiet, huge balconies, etc. The staff were great...limitless supplies of fresh towels,etc. The condo had absolutely everything in the world we needed, even down to laundry detergent and curling iron! The little supermarket down the street was handy for stocking the frig. Our only complaint was the carpet could be replaced, it was quite worn. But all in all, what a great value and we will certainly be back!
