F1 After Party 2012

Courtesy The Code 20

Why?The Grand Prix is just the start.

Most people think F1 weekend ends with the chequered flag. Those people are wrong. Sunday night, Koko will host THE CODE 20 closing Grand Prix party where, win or lose, drivers and A.Listers alike will be doing a few victory laps. Presented in partnership with Fab Boss and Jose Cuervo, the party is a prestigious event that is only held in three select cities every year. Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Felipe Massa and a whole pack of other drivers have all attended in the past, so expect celebs, socialites and the F1 elite. Partygoers will get turbocharged on drinks poured by flaring bartenders and served by Cuervo girls.

10 Sex Acts That Are Better In Theory

Ten Sex Acts That Aren't So Great In Real Life

We've had major debates around the office over whether sex in a car is genuinely exciting, or been-there-done-that-in-sixth-form. What we didn't get to discussing were other questionably enjoyable sex acts, like playing with chocolate sauce, sex in the shower and "road head". Are these things real-life turn-ons or are they more trouble than they're worth? We'll let you decide...

Confederate P51 Combat Fighter, Second Generation

Confederate Motors is making some of the most intriguing and evocative custom motorcycles on the market right now, and the company’s second-generation Confederate P51 Combat Fighter is no different. Confederate says that the G2 P51 Combat Fighter draws inspiration from the “1960’s rebel, anti-hero and the stripped, raw, chopper he rode.” The custom certainly is sinister in its look, especially in the blacked-out version. Oh, did we mention is boasts over 200hp at the rear wheel? Like all Confederate machines, these P51 Combat Fighters will be bespoke to each owner, of which there will be only 61 units made. MSRP for the blonde model is is $113,900 (30 units in total), while the brunette will cost you $119,500 (31 units to be produced). More photos and details after the jump.

New Belt-Driven Ducati Diavel Being Developed

A new Ducati Diavel has been caught by spy photographers, making this the first proper “leak” ahead of November’s EICMA show. Though keeping the overall aesthetic of the Ducati Diavel in place, the model has some clear visual and mechanic differences. Namely, a belt drive…yes, you read that right. Other changes include a feet-forward seating position, revised trellis chassis, and likely Ducati’s Testastretta DVT engine with variable valve technology. The switch from Euro 3 to Euro 4 emissions standards at the end of 2016 almost assure the DVT engine permeating its way into Ducati’s current lineup.It’s not certain how close to the production model this belt-driven Diavel is, though it’s clear that Ducati is courting the Harley-Davidson crowd.

Some Curious Details of That Stolen Victory TT Race Bike

A month ago, the Victory TT electric race bike was stolen from the Brammo’s headquarters in Talent, Oregon. Thankfully, the bike was recovered quickly, though it suffered some damage to the bodywork, and the rear wheel was removed. Two suspects were arrested in conjunction with the theft, and currently are out on $25,000 bail bonds. We will have to let the great wheel of justice sort out the facts, and awaits the two suspects in question. While one would likely not call the legal process entertaining, there are some amusing facts at issue to this case.

Yamaha “YZF-R1S” Spied in CARB Documents

When the 2015 Yamaha YZF-R1 first broke cover last year, it was with two model designations: the YZF-R1M and YZF-R1S. Obviously, only one of those machines has come to market, which is peculiar since Yamaha went to some trouble to register both names with the USPTO. What happened to the YZF-R1S is up for conjecture, though it does seem the model, whatever it may be, is destined to arrive in the US market, as the model name has been spotted in documents filed by Yamaha with the California Air Resources Board (CARB). It’s possible that all this ado about CARB documents and a third R1 model is not much at all, and that the reality is that the “YZF-R1S” has been with us all along.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Scrambler by Holographic Hammer

Taking a superbike off-road isn’t the dumbest thing we’ve ever done, but too many it certainly is sacrilegious. The truth is, the Venn diagram of motorcycles and their capabilities for different uses has a lot more overlap than riders are willing to admit. That’s why when we see our friends at Holographic Hammer working on a scrambler model based off a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R we get a little excited. With enough suspension travel, bash plates, and right-handed traction control, there’s no reason that a ZX-10R can’t be the basis for a fun dual-sport. And naturally, the talents at HH are going to make the project look amazing, so what’s the rub? Think differently, and have a brappy day – we say!

Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials Now Canceled

After being a tentative “go” for racing last week, the 2015 Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials has now been canceled because of conditions on the Bonneville Salt Flats. The announcement comes after rains in the Salt Lake City, Utah area put water on the salt flat racing course, and now currently half an inch of water sits on what the BMST calls its “Mountain Course” area. With the salt not likely to dry as quickly as normal, BMST officials couldn’t find a suitable place to relocate the Mountain Course, and in addition to that problem the international “Long Course” was not ideal over its entire length, with its quality a concern for BMST officials as well.Making matters worse, damage from the 2014 Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials has yet to heal on the salt flats.

Some of That 30th Anniversary Suzuki GSX-RR Goodness

I’m not gonna lie, we sorta dropped the ball when it came to sharing with you the 30th anniversary livery that Team Suzuki Ecstar is rocking in MotoGP. If anyone asks, it’s all Tony’s fault. Totally on him. Like, for reals…all Tony. Bad Tony! Bad! While Tony works on a personal apology note, hand-written naturally, for each and every one of you, we’ve got a small collection of his photos from Sachsenring and Indianapolis of Suzuki’s tribute to the GSX-R line. We think it’s pretty fetching, which only adds to the fact that the Suzuki GSX-RR MotoGP race bike is one of the best looking machines on the grid. I actually had a dream about it last night…I’m not ready to talk about it. Photos after the jump, ok? Enjoy! And Tony, I want those notes on my desk by Monday. Chop! Chop!

Is The Honda RC213V-S Really Your Dream Bike?

Roughly four years ago, I wrote a story called “The Chrysanthemum and the Sword” that implored the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers to build elements into their brand that went beyond the tangible and into the intangible — I was basically asking these brands to create what motorcyclists call soul. From that story, I got a number of insightful emails from employees at these Japanese brands, who shared my frustration with the soulless machines their employers were creating. Despite those emails, when the Honda RC213V-S debuted, I was struck by how extensively that message had fallen on deaf ears. The day of the RC213V-S’s launch, I asked my Facebook followers if the Japanese brand had “just pulled a Honda” on its release Honda RC213V-S.

E-Raw Electric Motorcycle Concept by Expemotion

Over the past few years, the electric motorcycle segment has been a playground for industrial designers to think outside of the box, especially when it comes to challenging traditional motorcycle design. The Mission One, MotoCzysz E1pc, and Xenophya Design EV-0RR come to mind when thinking about the more interesting design experiments we’ve seen from the E2V crowd, though there are certainly others we are missing. The Expemotion E-Raw concept reminds us of those earlier bikes, where the design conventions of the internal combustion crowd are deemed irrelevant for an electric two-wheeler. Maybe that’s why the E-Raw has a laminated wood seat.

There’s So Much “Zef” in this Triumph Tiger Explorer

This video, “Tetra Vaal” by Neill Blomkamp (of District 9 & Elysium fame), just recently became the launching point for the box-office buster Chappie. The feature film is a bit painful, especially if you’re not into the whole “zef rap” scene (I honestly wouldn’t click that link, NSFW). But, the movie touches on some interesting nerdy points, such as artificial intelligence and generally how messed up South Africa is, as a country. This discussion of special effects, musical tastes, and semi-opinionated geo-politics is all necessary and relevant because of a Triumph Tiger Explorer concept inked by Jakusa Design, which riffs heavily on the Chappie’s namesake character.

The Massive MotoGP Silly Season Update

08/20/2015 @ 11:51 pm, by David Emmett30 COMMENTS

Brno was a busy time for teams, managers and riders. Apart from dealing with jet lag and the sweltering heat, silly season kicked off in force at the Czech round of MotoGP.

The summer break and the chaos which ensued from the situation around the Forward Racing team put everything on hold over the summer, with tentative talks starting at Indianapolis.

Those talks, and events outside the paddock, helped clarify the situation, and at Brno talks began in earnest. The empty spaces on the MotoGP grid are starting to be filled.

MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo Will Remain With Yamaha for 2016

05/01/2015 @ 10:14 am, by David Emmett3 COMMENTS

Jorge Lorenzo is to remain with Yamaha for the 2016 season. The Spaniard had an option to leave the Movistar Yamaha team at the end of 2015, but has decided not to exercise it, and will stay with Yamaha for next year.

The Movistar Yamaha team also had an option to end the two-year deal a year early, but Yamaha Racing director Lin Jarvis told the website that both the team and Lorenzo and decided to see the contract through to the end.

The 2014 Yamaha YZR-M1 Breaks Cover in Indonesia

01/17/2014 @ 9:32 am, by David Emmett18 COMMENTS

Yamaha today launched their 2014 MotoGP livery in Jakarta Indonesia. Both Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi were present at the launch, along with Yamaha racing boss Lin Jarvis and the MotoGP group leader Kouichi Tsuji.

The new livery resembles both the 2013 and 2012 color schemes very closely, with this year’s color scheme featuring a lot more white. Conspicuous by their absence were any new sponsor names, though Lin Jarvis assured Indonesian motorcycling blog TMCBlog that more sponsors would be announced before the season started. Earlier reports that a deal with Adidas was close appear not to have had much truth in them.

Rossi: “He is like part of my family. My father in racing”

11/08/2013 @ 9:22 am, by David Emmett25 COMMENTS

“It is true that next year Jerry won’t be my chief mechanic,” Rossi told the press conference. The decision had not been taken lightly, he said. “It was a very difficult decision for me because I have a great history with Jeremy. He is not just my chief mechanic. He is like part of my family. My father in racing.”

Rossi felt he had been forced to make a decision to try to make a change, to regain his competitiveness. “I’ve decided for next year I need to change something to try to find new motivation and to have a boost to improve my level, my speed. So this will be my last race together with Jeremy.”

Rossi had made the decision five days ago, he told reporters, but had waited until Valencia to tell Burgess, once he could tell him himself. “We spoke today, face to face. Next year will be crucial and I need new motivation. In the last few races I’ve felt I wanted to work in a different way. It was a difficult choice to make. Yamaha had asked me some time ago, but I decided recently.”

No decision had yet been made about a replacement, and it was unclear whether Burgess would be present at the test.

“Yamaha is Working with Tech 3 to Try to Keep Crutchlow”

07/03/2013 @ 4:02 pm, by David Emmett33 COMMENTS

With three podiums and a pole position this year, Cal Crutchlow’s stock continues to rise. As the only top rider out of contract, there is much speculation about where the talented Englishman could end up.

All three factories have expressed an interest in Crutchlow, with Ducati and Yamaha the frontrunners to secure his services for next year. Crutchlow has made his preference clear: to remain at Yamaha, either in the factory team or at Tech 3, with the kind of factory support given to Stefan Bradl in the LCR Honda team by HRC.

For Yamaha, the situation is more complicated. With reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo on the books, as well as nine-time former champ Valentino Rossi, Yamaha currently has no room in the factory team.

And with Bradley Smith on a two-year contract, the factory faces a dilemma: hang on to Cal Crutchlow for another year in the satellite team, or go for a young talent like Pol Espargaro, in the hope that they can develop into a rider to take on Marc Marquez for the next few years.

MotoGP: Mugello Meeting Helped ‘Clear The Air’ Between Cal Crutchlow and Yamaha

06/10/2013 @ 4:04 am, by David Emmett16 COMMENTS

The troubled waters through which Cal Crutchlow has found himself sailing with Yamaha have been calmed a little. The Monster Tech 3 Yamaha rider and his manager Bob Moore held their first face-to-face meeting with Yamaha bosses Lin Jarvis and Masahiko Nakajima on the Sunday night after the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, to discuss the options for extending their relationship for next year.

Also present at the meeting was Monster Tech 3 Yamaha boss Hervé Poncharal, who has been very vocal in his desire to retain the British rider. Crutchlow’s results have been a real boon for the French team, and  his outspoken and impish personality have helped attract a large amount of media attention.

Poncharal has been mediating between Yamaha and Crutchlow, and is trying to secure an extension of Crutchlow’s contract with the team for 2014. He judged the meeting a positive step forward, with all parties involved getting a chance to express their views in person.

“It was good to clear the air,” Poncharal said of the meeting, something which was necessary after Crutchlow’s indignant and very public response to rumors that Yamaha were intending to put Pol Espargaro on Crutchlow’s seat in the Tech 3 garage.

Rumors of an imminent departure for the new factory Suzuki team continue to surround Crutchlow, despite Crutchlow’s continuing protestations that his first objective is to remain with Yamaha.

Thursday Summary at Mugello: Rossi’s Challenge, Crutchlow’s Ultimatum, & Sport as Soap Opera

05/30/2013 @ 7:24 pm, by David Emmett26 COMMENTS

Mugello is a spectacular setting. Even when it absolutely pours down, so badly that a river starts running through the Mugello paddock, the setting remains spectacular. It makes navigating the paddock without a life vest fairly treacherous, but at least the view is stunning. The rain looks set to stay for the duration, though the forecast appears to be improving day by day, but the riders need not fear a lack of wet track time.

As always, the riders waxed eloquent on the circuit, almost universal in their praise. Most entertaining simile of the day was from Bradley Smith, who compared Mugello to a motocross track: all undulating surfaces, blind crests and banked corners. He is right, of course, but it is not the first comparison that springs to mind when describing a track as physically large and magnificent as Mugello.

MotoGP Silly Season: Quo Vadis, Cal Crutchlow?

05/28/2013 @ 2:23 pm, by David Emmett24 COMMENTS

With the recent leaked news of Suzuki’s MotoGP test and Honda’s press release discussing the test of their new Production Racer MotoGP machine, the first speculation of silly season is starting to appear.

With so many seats already tied up – all four Honda seats, three Yamaha seats, and one seat at Ducati – speculation is limited, though the imminent return of Suzuki to the fold opens up more seats for consideration.

One name is on everyone’s lips, however. Cal Crutchlow is the current hot ticket in MotoGP, and rightly so. The best of the riders available, and the only rider so far to get anywhere near the current four MotoGP aliens, with a podium at Le Mans to go with two fifth places and a fourth.

If there is one rider looking capable of breaking the hegemony on wins currently held by the front four, it is surely Cal Crutchlow. So where will Crutchlow be riding in 2014?

Lin Jarvis Explains Yamaha’s New Social Media Policy

03/29/2013 @ 5:12 pm, by David Emmett10 COMMENTS

There was much consternation ahead of the Jerez MotoGP test, when it emerged that the Factory Yamaha MotoGP team had imposed a new social media policy. Given that Yamaha has perhaps the strongest presence on social media of all MotoGP teams, fans feared that the access they had been given would be restricted.

Apart from riders Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, Yamaha also has Alex Briggs, mechanic to Valentino Rossi, Ramon Forcada, crew chief to Jorge Lorenzo, and Wilco Zeelenberg, team manager to Jorge Lorenzo on their payroll, all three popular figures on Twitter.

At the official launch of Yamaha’s 2013 MotoGP campaign, we spoke to Yamaha Racing Managing Director Lin Jarvis to ask about the policy, and try to clear up any confusion surrounding the situation. Our first question was naturally, did Yamaha indeed have a new social media policy?

Lin Jarvis: Sponsorship, Vision, & Races Outside of Europe

03/22/2013 @ 5:56 pm, by David Emmett4 COMMENTS

At the presentation of Yamaha’s 2013 MotoGP campaign, where the bike which Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi will ride in the coming season was unveiled, it was clear that there was one thing missing from the bike: this season, as for the last two years, Yamaha’s MotoGP team will not have a title sponsor, but will campaign in corporate colors once again.

Though the news hardly came as a surprise – the colors being used throughout the winter testing period suggested that Yamaha would be racing without a title sponsor – we were interested to find out whether the current situation is sustainable.

To that end, we cornered Yamaha Racing’s Managing Director Lin Jarvis, and put a few questions to him. Firstly, we asked, could Yamaha’s MotoGP team manage without a title sponsor, or was the expanded support from non-title sponsors sufficient? The answer to those questions was “yes and yes” Jarvis quipped.

Some Roselle-area taxpayers feel like it's "deja pool" all over again.

Roselle resident Phil Van Duyne, who opposes Lake Park High School District 108's most recent push for voter approval of an aquatic center, said the phrase sums up his feelings on the two referendum questions voters will see on the March 18 primary ballot.

One question asks voters to approve a proposal to borrow $8.5 million for construction of an aquatic center at the school's east campus in Roselle with a 25-yard, eight-lane competition pool and a smaller pool with warmer water for swimming lessons and athletic rehabilitation. The other seeks approval of a tax rate increase to provide an additional $390,000 a year for pool operation.

Similar questions have come before Lake Park voters before - including as recently as last April - and Van Duyne said he and others are growing weary of the repetition.

"The district taxpayers have been pretty clear they're not in favor of a pool at Lake Park High School," Van Duyne said. "People just voted it down, but now it's coming back under a different circumstance."

Lake Park Superintendent Lynne Panega said administrators and the school board decided to push for a pool again this spring partially because the vote last year was as close as it's ever been, failing by roughly 600 votes out of more than 8,000 ballots cast.

Panega said the school has seen "a mix of supporters and non-supporters" at open houses held to provide information about the plan.

Opponents like Van Duyne have begun to voice questions about how a new pool would affect property taxes, whether taking out another loan is a good idea and who would most benefit from the plan.

Cost questions

The 23,500-square-foot aquatic facility is projected to cost $9.1 million. If voters approve funding to build and operate it, Lake Park will put $600,000 of its own funds toward the project.

Van Duyne said he wondered what else that money could support if not for the aquatic center plans.

Jeff O'Connell, assistant superintendent for business services, said the money was not pulled away from any one specific project. Rather, it was available in the district's reserves of about $10 million, which represents roughly 20 percent of its total operating budget.

Van Duyne also questioned the cost of interest payments on the $8.5 million the district would need to borrow to finance the pool. O'Connell said interest is estimated to cost $2.8 million.

"I just think it's not necessarily the best time to be taking on any new debt," Van Duyne said.

The school's portion of the property tax bill will increase if both ballot questions are approved and the pool is built. O'Connell said taxes would increase a total of $25.04 a year for the owner of a $200,000 home and $37.56 a year for the owner of a $300,000 home.

The cost of borrowing $8.5 million to build the pool is estimated to account for $11.60 of the total tax increase for the owner of a $200,000 home and $17.40 of the total for the owner of a $300,000 home during the majority of the potential 10-year loan.

But in the last two years, a larger share of the taxes property owners pay to the school would go toward paying off the pool construction loan, with as much as $165 from the owner of a $200,000 home and $255 from the owner of a $300,000 home going to repay pool debt. O'Connell said that's because other debt the district previously incurred will be paid by then, so the tax rate will remain the same.

Even if Lake Park takes out a new loan, O'Connell said the school stands to be largely debt-free by midyear 2025, with only $240,000 left to pay on a loan from 2007.

Community benefits

Lake Park officials say the aquatic center would give a home to swimming and diving teams, allow for water safety and swimming to be a part of physical education, give student-athletes opportunities for water-based injury rehabilitation, and offer park districts and community members a place to swim when outdoor pools aren't open.

The Bloomingdale, Itasca, Medinah and Roselle park districts would have the facility from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 6 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, according to a proposed schedule. In between those times, it would be used by Lake Park students, swimmers, divers and athletes. On weekends, the pool would be open for park district use from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Robert Ward, director of parks and recreation for Roselle Park District, said programs could include water aerobics, parent-tot swimming lessons, advanced swimming lessons and availability for rentals.

Carrie Fullerton, executive director of Bloomingdale Park District, said that district's park board "would very much like to have the opportunity to offer indoor aquatic programming to our residents."

"Working collaboratively with Lake Park on this would give us the opportunity to do that," she said.

Public lap-swimming also is built into the proposed schedule from 5:30 to 7:30 a.m. seven days a week and again from 8:30 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday. But Van Duyne said only the morning time is set aside for lap-swimming alone, without the possibility of sharing space with a park district program.

School board President Bob Marino said he has heard from supporters and opponents of the pool, which he believes could offer a variety of uses for the community.

"We were able to design the pool a little differently where we have that ability for the park districts to work on programmatics," Marino said. "I think it's a great mix."

McCaulou’s Auburn opening draws hundreds of locals

Some shoppers say the store offers nostalgia
By: Bridget Jones, Journal Staff Writer
-A +A
Local residents shared excitement and nostalgia as McCaulou’s opened its doors in the Auburn Town Center off Elm Avenue Wednesday. The soft opening began at 11 a.m. Wednesday, and by 12:15 p.m. the new department store had already seen hundreds of customers, according to staff. David McCaulou, president of McCaulou’s Inc., based in the Bay Area, said the company plans to hold a grand opening for the store as well, and although there is no scheduled date yet, it plans to advertise the event in the Journal. Wednesday morning McCaulou, who was at the store greeting customers, said he had already received a lot of feedback about the store. “It’s kind of overwhelming,” McCaulou said. “(We have had) nothing but positive, enthusiastic input from people.” Auburn resident Jerry Rose was shopping with his wife, Keri, Wednesday morning and said the store’s staff seemed “totally friendly” and that he liked the selection of items. “It just seems like they have high quality stuff,” Rose said. “We had no idea they were opening today, but the lady at the candy shop said they were opening. It seemed like Auburn was due.” Loomis resident Jana Maggert, an Auburn realtor, said she had been looking forward to the store opening and was enjoying the atmosphere Wednesday. “We were dying for the store to open,” Maggert said. “We needed somewhere else to shop. We are excited about it. There is a good selection here. (The staff) has been very helpful today. Ladies of Auburn were going crazy. They were waiting for this store to open.” Maggert said she thinks the store is going to generate business for the city, especially the Auburn Town Center. A walk through the store showed a variety of departments including shoes, purses, misses, kids clothes and toys, men’s and boys, jewelry and more. Foresthill resident Kevin Ingalls, who was also perusing McCaulou’s Wednesday, said the department store reminds him of his childhood. “I’m from the Bay Area, and McCaulou’s was one of the main stores in Orinda where I grew up, so it’s nice to see them here,” Ingalls said. “It kind of brings back memories from growing up. It’s a lot bigger store than when they were down in Orinda. I’m sure I’ll find what I need and be back.” Colfax resident Clelis Martin said she appreciates not having to drive as far to do her shopping. “I think it’s great,” Martin said. “We missed Gottschalks, so it’s nice to have some place to shop without going to Roseville.” McCaulou’s merchandise also included items like backpacks, cards and an assortment of baseball caps. To celebrate its new home, one rack included a selection of fleece Capri pants with the word “Auburn” designed onto the leg. Lincoln resident Bettie McCarrel said McCaulou’s also brings back special memories, and she was glad to be able to attend the opening in Auburn with her husband, Bill. “I will just say it was just like coming home,” McCarrel said. “I was at the Lafayette store, the original store that was opened by the McCaulous, when we didn’t have anything like that in Lafayette. I just insisted on coming up here on the opening day. I want to tell all my friends (in Lincoln) to get their buns up here.” Reach Bridget Jones at

The Astronauts -- the Polish independent studio founded by former People Can Fly vets of Painkiller and Bulletstorm fame -- has announced a September 25th 2014 launch date for the PC version of its debut title The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
Inspired by the weird fiction (and other tales of the macabre) from the early twentieth century, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter aims to significantly evolve immersive storytelling in games. While it features a private detective and quite a few mental challenges, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is not an especially puzzle-ridden game. Our focus is on atmosphere, mood, and the essential humanity of our characters.
Accompanying the release date news is a new developer commentated walkthrough trailer, offering up around 13 minutes of narrated gameplay that should give you a good idea on what to expect. Check it out below.

At Austin Adventures, we spend countless hours orchestrating each of our fabulous adventures. We want every aspect of the trip to be perfect for our guests, down to the smallest detail. One of the things we can’t plan, however, is the weather. We can tell you the best time of year to visit the area you want to explore, but no matter how much we plan, weather can always throw us a curve. As they say, “You can’t control the weather.”
amy in bryce zion
Recently, I visited Bryce and Zion National Parks in Utah. I chose to go in July because I love warm weather and the dates fit well with my busy summer schedule, but how could I know that the area would experience a heat wave that would last for weeks with no reprieve? While we hiked through mystifying hoodoos and rode our bikes through scenic canyons, the daily highs reached 100+ degrees. You might think that my vacation was ruined. Actually, it was one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken. The scenery was stunning and I felt a deep sense of accomplishment and camaraderie with my fellow travelers when the trip was done. When I reflect on my experience, I don’t even think about the heat because I followed a few important steps to keep myself comfortable:

•    I drank a lot of water each day.
•    I wore synthetic clothing that wicked moisture, breathed well, and kept me cool.
•    I wore a wide-brimmed hat.
•    I used sun screen.
•    I didn’t overdo it. I listened to my body and stopped when I got too hot.
•    I ate a little less, and chose fresh fruits and vegetables over richer, heavier foods.

Zion National Park

I live in Montana where our temperatures rarely reach the 90’s, so when I first arrived in the Bryce and Zion area, my body wasn’t used to the extreme temperatures. On the first day of the trip, I was a little uncomfortable, but by the second day I was acclimated to the warmer weather. My guides had been leading the trip for weeks and they were well prepared to help us keep cool. They filled the water cooler with ice and water each morning, carried a couple of gallons of extra water in their packs when we hiked, and surprised us with those signature Austin Adventures WOW moments – surprises that I will let you experience on your own.

Utah Vacations

One of our guests recently wrote about a similar experience he had in Alaska. He said, “The vacation was also remarkable – despite the amount of rainfall we experienced, everyone looked forward to the next adventure. If we were on our own, it would have been easy to say, ‘not today.’ But with the tour acting as one large family and (guides) Toby and Blair as ‘Jiminy Cricket,’ we persevered and found strength in our accomplishments. It was a vacation worth repeating.”

When I talk to Austin Adventures guests before they travel, the most common topic of conversation is about what they should pack. Whether you’re headed to Antarctica, the African Savanna, or somewhere closer to home like Yellowstone or South Dakota, don’t skimp on clothing and outerwear. When you’re comfortable, you can explore without distraction. In a sense, you take back control in a situation that’s beyond your control.

Happy exploring – no matter what weather comes your way!

    Lingenfelter and Southern Comfort Automotive piqued our interest late last month with the digital unveiling of the Chevrolet Reaper, a customized Silverado designed to tackle some seriously rough terrain. While that vehicle made its original debut at the North American Dealers Association show, the 2014 Chicago Auto Show marks our first in-person viewing of it, as well as the truck's public debut.

    For the past several years, if you wanted a vehicle capable of rocketing across the desert at freeway speeds, the process was fairly simple - drive to the local Ford dealership and plop down $44,000 for an F-150 SVT Raptor. What if the Ford isn't enough for you, though? Or maybe you're so partisan you'd rather walk across the desert than drive a vehicle from the Blue Oval across it. Your options have been disturbingly limited.

Kia Sportage updated for 2014

9 Jan, 2014 5:31pm Jonathan Burn

A mid-life facelift for the Kia Sportage, now fitted with more kit at no extra cost

An updated version of the Kia Sportage SUV for 2014 has been revealed. It features tweaked styling and equipment upgrades over the previous model, with prices remaining the same, starting from £17,495 and rising to £29,495.

• Kia Sportage review

The subtle redesign includes a new version of the ‘tiger-nosed’ grille, now framed with a chrome surround, plus restyled mesh on the central radiator. Round the back, the lights now offer better illumination and top-spec models are fitted with an LED rear cluster. New 16-, 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels are included, too.

Inside, new soft-touch materials have been added to the centre console and dashboard, plus a six-way adjustable driver's seat and heated steering wheel are now fitted as standard on top-spec models. A 4.2-inch TFT LCD screen is fitted between the dials displaying vital vehicle information, with selected models benefitting from a larger 4.3-inch screen with an integrated rear-view camera display.

A premium seven-speaker sound system is also available as an optional extra for the first time, with a tyre pressure monitoring system fitted as standard across the range. Another first is the Flex Steer system – standard on higher spec models – which varies the steering weight for easier parking and increased stability at higher speeds.

Engine options remain the same but two new model variants have been added to the range, bringing the total number of models available up to 16. The additions include an all-wheel drive version of the entry-level spec model fitted with the 2.0-litre CRDi engine (£21,495) and a 1.7-litre CRDi diesel motor is an option on the top spec two-wheel drive model (£24,995).

The updated 2014 Kia Sportage is available to order now, with first deliveries set for February.

Kia obviously worried that the new Nissan Qashqai looks better than the Sportage but, unlike the Sportage, isn't a heap of Korean junk.

Grow up.

I like Kia Sportage updated for 2014

Wheres the beef?

We have a 2012 Sportage II CRDI and its great and - most important - super serice and Zero complaints/problems!

Its well equipped and the ride is good, its spacious and most economical on the autobahn and fast roads of Germany where we live!

And - most important - its great value for money!

Thank you Peter Schreyer!

You obvouisly dont know much about Kia, the sportage is a european design and build. Not Korean Junk!

There seem to be quite of a few of these around. I'm no particular fan but in the SUV crowd its sharp styling does stand out.
I can't tell what changed in this facelift? Moreover rivals such as Qashqai are several VED bands better in both petrol and diesel guises.
There's no beating Kia warranty though which should make it a great buy for private buyers who may keep the car for longer than 3 years.

Really happy that KIA updated the Sportage, no really I am ! lol Now you done that & got tonnes of other hatches/suv's in your line up not to mention other brands doing same thing, now KIA please bring UK a coupe/sports cars, they will sell well here, remember when Hyundai did that with the coupe ? yes the UK was a very big market for them ! KIA you already have the Forte coupe & in RHD for some countries so shouldn't be difficult to make road legal in UK should it ??

Unless they do something about the abysmal engines which drink diesel like an alcoholic knocks back booze & the darn awful automatic Torque Converter gearboxes which don't know whether to go up or down and are a complete & utter disaster in the automatics.

Factor in the dire handling as well, then the new Nissan Qashqai will smash it out of sight and it comes with a very similar specification, plus a PROPER DAB radio.

Totally unlike the Kia which has an effort that Heath Robinson would be immensely proud of & isn't worth £2,50, let alone £250.

I had a Sportage and it was utter rubbish. My partner has a Qashqai and it is simply in a league above! end of.

Volvo Concept Estate Revealed for Geneva Show

February 27, 2014
Volvo Concept Estate Front Three Quarter
The wagon might just come back in style, and no surprises here, we’ve got Volvo to thank. The Swedish automaker will show the Concept Estate, the final of three concept cars previewing Volvo's future design direction, at the 2014 Geneva auto show. The Concept Estate carries the same modern design language as the previous Volvo Concept Coupe and Concept XC Coupe, and its subtle, refined take on the classic Volvo wagon is sure to make waves at Geneva.
When we first saw the Concept Coupe at last year’s Frankfurt show, design editor Robert Cumberford called it, “undoubtedly the prettiest Volvo ever shown.” Volvo’s new design language struck us as not truly retro, but it did draw inspiration from the 1960s Volvo P1800 coupes. After years of more boxy and business-like designs, Volvo’s future style is according to Cumberford, “elegantly beautiful, even if there’s nothing innovative about it.” The Volvo Concept Estate falls right into this characterization, combining the strikingly simple appeal of the Concept Coupe with the slightly taller and more purposeful proportions of the Concept XC Coupe.
“The 1800-models are iconic Volvos, renowned for their beautiful forms and detailing,” says senior vice president of design Thomas Ingenlath. “However, using elements from their exterior and interior has nothing to do with being retro. We are using these subtle links to a glorious past to create a future in which sheer beauty becomes a recognized part of Volvo’s identity.”

Preview of what’s to come

The three-door Volvo Concept Estate features the same floating grille, T-shaped headlights, and angular front intakes as the previous two concepts. Its long, flowing roofline terminates in a sporty roof spoiler, which leads into the bracket-shaped LED taillights. We’ll most likely see these elements in production form when the next-generation XC90 launches later this year, but seeing how gorgeous they look on a bonafide wagon, we can’t wait for this style to come back on other cars, perhaps a new V70.
As classically beautiful as the Volvo Concept Estate looks on the outside, there is a distinctly modern design for the interior which starts with the central tablet-like touchscreen. Taking a page out of Tesla’s book, the center touchscreen supposedly replaces all buttons and knobs, except for a few essentials like volume and hazard light controls. Although the new tech helps Volvo consolidate all functions into a single entity, which contributes to the cabin’s overall clean-and-cool Scandinavian feel, we’ll have to see for ourselves whether the interface is as intuitive as it is attractive. A massive panoramic glass roof helps complete the bright-looking interior, alongside a checkered wool headliner and wood trim that Volvo says is meant to evoke a Scandinavian living room.

Good sign for new architecture

We’ve got high hopes for Volvo’s new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), given that each of the brand’s three concepts represent major steps forward in technology as well as design. Although there's no word on what powers the Concept Estate, the Concept Coupe employs a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine, as well as an electric motor mated to the rear axle for a total of 400 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.
With a new generation of turbocharged Drive-E engines on the way, Volvo is finally catching up to the rest of the luxury market in terms of efficiency and technology. If the Volvo Concept Estate’s graceful lines and premium feel find their way into future production vehicles, Volvo will have set itself up nicely to come back as a viable luxury brand here in the U.S. and abroad.
Check back for more coverage on the Volvo Concept Estate when it premieres at the 2014 Geneva auto show on March 4.

First Look: 2011 BMW M3 Frozen Grey Coupe

June 17, 2010
You won't find it noted on most calendars, but 2011 is a milestone for BMW enthusiasts: come next year, the vaunted M3 will have been in production for 25 years. To celebrate, the Bavarian automaker has crafted this: the 2011 BMW M3 Frozen Grey coupe.
2011 BMW M3 Frozen Grey Front End
BMW doesn't officially call this an anniversary edition, but the nomenclature does emphasize how this M3 differs from others: paint. Specifically, BMW has developed a unique metallic matte grey color, dubbed it Frozen Grey, and sprayed it over the coupe's exterior. Inside, the celebratory M3 mixes dark charcoal and Fox Red leathers in a vibrant two-tone combination, with the door panel inserts, armrests, and seat inserts splashed with the accent color.
Sure, the colors are nifty, but M3s have always been first and foremost about performance. Apart from the M3's 414-horsepower 4.0-liter V-8, Frozen Grey cars are fitted with the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the Technology Package (which includes adjustable performance settings via the 'M' button, along with a navigation system), and the new Competition Package. That last option lowers the suspension by 0.4in, revamps the electronic dampening and stability controls, and adds 19-inch wheels with a greater offset.
All Frozen Grey models also include the Premium Package (i.e. power folding mirrors, Bluetooth phone connectivity, Carbon Leather trim), heated front seats, premium audio system, Sirius satellite radio (bundled with a year's worth of service), and a USB/ iPod audio input. The cost for all this runs $78,900 (including destination and gas guzzler charges), roughly $5900 more than a comparably equipped M3 coupe. To sweeten the deal, BMW also tosses in a single day's worth of instruction at its Performance Driving School in South Carolina, something usually included only with the purchase of an M5 or M6.
Want one? You'll likely have to fight a number of other Bimmerphiles for the opportunity to park one in your garage. Only thirty examples are headed to the U.S., so you'll have to jump on the phone to grab your place in line. Reservations can be placed after 11:30 A.M Eastern on Monday, June 21, and we expect the allotment to sell out as quickly as the M3 moves...

German Tuner AC Schnitzer Transforms BMW Z4 into Eco-Tuned 99d Concept Car

March 29, 2011
2011 AC Schnitzer 99d BMW Z4 Front
AC Schnitzer is a well-recognized tuner in the European aftermarket scene, and its efforts continue today with its 99d concept. Based on the current BMW Z4, the 99d is all about balancing performance with eco-friendliness.
AC Schnitzer started with the Z4 roadster and swapped in the diesel four-cylinder from the overseas 320d EfficientDynamics. Without telling us exactly how the engine was modified, we’ve learned the diesel-powered Z4 produces 188 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The factory-stock 320d mill makes 163 horsepower and 280 pound-feet. The German tuning firm would only go as far as calling its performance enhancements “Efficient Performance,” but we’d bet there’s some ECU remapping involved.
With the extra power and a weight-shedding strategy in place, the 99d goes from 0-62 mph in 6.9 seconds and can hit a top speed of 146 mph, which isn’t bad for an efficiency-minded, four-cylinder diesel. AC Schnitzer says the 99d concept consumes just 3.8 liters of diesel fuel for every 100 kilometers driven. In America, that works out to around 62 mpg.
Given its fuel economy, it’s relatively clean emissions-wise. AC Schnitzer cut the amount of tailpipe carbon dioxide from 109 grams to 99 grams per kilometer, or a sum total of 0.35 pound per mile. By now, we can see where this Z4/99d concept earned its name.
Other enhancements to the 99d include a lightweight lithium-ion battery, a new exhaust system, a lightened braking system, and adjustable racing suspension to drop the ride height by 1.2 inches. A body kit, 17.4-pound wheels, and a green-themed paintjob help round out the exterior package.
Inside, green trim pieces stand out against the rest of the dark interior. A new steering wheel, aluminum pedals, and carbon seats also find a home inside the 99d cabin.
As the AC Schnitzer 99d is just a concept car, it’s not for sale. In its current form, the 99d reportedly would cost around 149,000 euros, or $210,000. And that’s a large amount of dough, though we’re expecting Efficient Performance technology to start trickling into the product line in the near future.

2014 Chevrolet Impala Great Lakes Circle Tour: Lake Michigan

June 3, 2013
2014 Chevrolet Impala Lake Michigan Left Side View 18
This is the penultimate installment of a five-part series chronicling our Great Lakes Circle Tour in the 2014 Chevrolet Impala. We started with Lake Erie. Day two brought us around Lake Ontario. Then we hit Lake Huron. Tomorrow, we'll conclude with Lake Superior.
Lake Michigan isn't really a lake. In fact, Lake Michigan is an inland sea, the fifth largest in the world, smaller than only the Caspian Sea in Asia and Lake Victoria in Africa, plus Lakes Superior and Lake Huron. It's like standing beside an ocean, as the water extends to the horizon and the shore stretches as far as the eye can see to both the north and south.
Likewise, the 2014 Chevrolet Impala is probably not the kind of car you think of when you hear its name. For the last few decades, the Impala name has conjured up images of mediocrity. The 2014 Impala aims to change that impression thanks to styling that is of the modern idiom, an interior that is both ergonomic and welcoming, and a sophisticated chassis that shrugs off road imperfections.

Ludington: Post Card Come to Life

The starting point for our trip around Lake Michigan is Ludington, some 230 miles from Ann Arbor and about midway up the western shore of the lake. Ludington is the quintessential town on Lake Michigan, complete with a city-owned beach park, a harbor and marinas for boating enthusiasts and fishermen, historic lighthouses, Victorian bed-and-breakfasts, a state park with miles of sand dunes. It even has a car ferry -- the SS Badger -- that from May to September crosses the lake two times a day, fueling the town's tourist industry.
After seeing the Badger off, we head up US-31and then, just past Manistee, turn onto scenic M-22, which runs along the lake to the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula and past the soaring sand dunes of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Reconnecting with US-31 brings us through the resort towns of Traverse City, Charlevoix, and Petoskey until, in Emmet County, we turn onto M-119, a narrow two-lane route that is popularly known as the Tunnel of Trees.
Here a mixture of hardwoods and evergreens line the winding road and provide a lush canopy that filters the sunlight on a good day or serves as an umbrella that protects us from a light rain like today. On this spring day, the forest floor is alive with countless numbers of blooming trilliums, a certain sign that spring has arrived here, since less than a month ago it was still knee-deep in snow.

Impala: Post Card Come to Life

This spring also signals a rebirth for the Impala. Gone is the stodgy ninth-generation Impala which, to be fair, still managed to sell well. In its place is a sleek, modern sedan.
Unfortunately the winding road through the Tunnel of Trees doesn't bring out the best in the Impala. The electric-assist steering system does not engender confidence in tight corners where precise wheel placement is needed, as the effort level seems too light for us.
Likewise, the way the brake engagement is not as progressive as we'd like, as even light pedal pressure sometimes brings an abrupt response. At least the brakes will last a long time, as the Impala features GM's new brake rotors, which are meant to last no less than 80,000 miles, resisting rust and brake shudder as they age.

The U.P.: Trees, not People

Michigan's Upper Peninsula is sparsely populated, by humans anyway. It's heavily populated by trees. More important, the roads are mostly devoid of traffic. Even so, the speed limit on U.S. Route 2, which traces the northern shore of Lake Michigan, is a sedate 55 mph. It's like driving in the 1970s, just after the gas crisis.
We follow Route 2 to Manistique, and from there head south to the Garden Peninsula and Fayette Historic State Park, where the preserved buildings of a late-nineteenth-century iron-smelting town overlook Big Bay du Noc.
It's near the end of the day, and the soft light reflects off the water as the old buildings bask in the warm, late-afternoon glow. We're taking pictures of the old furnace complex when we hear a commotion behind us. A fisherman has just reeled in an impressive pike that measures nearly four feet. My husband then launches into a story about his own pike-fishing days back in his native Sweden. It seems that everyone -- even the man whom I've know since 1979 and who has never handled a rod and reel in my presence -- has a fish story.

Impala: Off-roading in Comfort

The Chevy Impala has redeemed itself this afternoon with relaxed on-road demeanor and comfortable seats. We're also getting unexpected fuel economy, as the onboard trip computer indicates 29 mpg.
More important, we reach Escanaba fourteen hours after our early-morning departure with none of the frazzled nerves that sometimes result from a long road trip. In fact, we're so relaxed we've almost forgotten about our little off-roading excursion.
A word of advice: When you're using a comprehensive road atlas, think twice before trying to take a short-cut on that little squiggle in the corner of the map. Before you know it, you're on a rutted two-track, then you're on a rutted two-track with loose sand, and the next thing you know you're driving over a sand dune.

Door County: On Wisconsin

After a quick stop at Green Bay's Lambeau Field, we head for Door County, known as the Cape Cod of the Midwest. Door County is located on a finger of land that juts into Lake Michigan with Green Bay (the actual bay, not the city) to the west and Lake Michigan proper to the east. The bucolic countryside is covered with cherry orchards and farmland and is dotted with picturesque towns that have names like Egg Harbor and Fish Creek.
On the Green Bay side of the peninsula at Egg Harbor, we stop at Shipwrecked, the only microbrewery in Door County. According to the legend on the menu, it's also a former hangout of 1920s gangster Al Capone. We enjoy a light lunch and a glass of lemonade (no beer today; we're driving) on the outdoor patio and then make our way to the Lake Michigan side of the peninsula.
In the town of Bailey's Harbor, we note that the thermometer has dropped by some 30 degrees F since our lunch stop. Since no weather has moved in, we attribute it to the cold winds blowing off the lake. Note to self: When visiting Door County in the spring and fall, stay on the Green Bay side.

Impala: The Car as Art

Since yesterday morning, we've had the roads pretty much to ourselves, so it's back to reality when we finally reach the outskirts of Milwaukee, the second largest city on the shore of Lake Michigan. To escape the traffic, we exit I-43 and head toward the lake, then turn south until we reach the Milwaukee Art Museum, designed by well-known Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Upon the museum's opening, he said, "I worked to infuse the building with a certain sensitivity to the culture of the lake -- the boats, the sails, and the always changing landscape."
The designers of the 2014 Impala were faced an equally exacting task, charged with elevating the full-size sedan from a commodity into a car that can compete in both style and substance with the likes of the recently redesigned Toyota Avalon and Hyundai Azera. We find that they've generally succeeded -- the lines of the new Impala are thoroughly modern, infusing the Impala with a sense of style that it was lacking for so long.
But it's not just styling. The Impala has the entire package -- a comfortable ride, spacious front and rear seats, a large trunk with a good-size opening, and a powerful, 305-hp V-6 engine that is well-matched to its six-speed automatic transmission.

Chicago: The Second City

Day three brings us to Chicago, the jewel of Lake Michigan, a city that boasts world-class restaurants, a vibrant night life, and plenty of places where you can just be a tourist. We pursue photo opportunities at Soldier Field, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Shedd Aquarium, stop by the Lincoln Park Zoo, and do a quick drive-by of Wrigley Park before heading for Navy Pier, where you can grab a bite to eat, take a boat tour, and even ride a Ferris Wheel.
By now it's late afternoon, and we have to cut our itinerary short so that the Impala can start on its last leg of the Great Lakes Circle Tour. No Indiana Dunes, no South Haven, Saugatuck, or Holland.
No worries, though. We've managed to put more miles on the 2014 Impala in three days than most owners will in a month, and we've come away convinced that it will do well in the marketplace as its newfound sense of style and intelligent packaging promise to lure buyers who would previously have never considered an Impala.
The Statistical Record: Lake Michigan
Friday, May 18 -- 8:00 p.m.
End: Monday, May 20 -- 7:00 p.m.

Best Road: M-119 from Harbor Springs to Cross Village
Wildlife observed: 4 wild turkey, 6 deer, 1 pike, countless dead raccoons, and about a million mosquitoes.
Best things about 2014 Impala: styling, seats, trunk space.
Worst things about 2014 Impala: steering feel, navigation touch screen.

Diego Nunes cruises to first GP2 win in Sepang
Diego Nunes
Fast and consistent since the beginning of the Malaysian round, Diego Nunes took an impressive first victory for Piquet GP this afternoon in the feature race at the Sepang International Circuit, while Roldan Rodriguez, his teammate, finished fourth. With fifteen points scored today, the Brazilian squad jumps from fifth to third in the championship standings.

Poleman Jérôme d’Ambrosio at Dams unfortunately returned to the pits after his reconnaissance lap following a driveshaft failure due to a manufacturing glitch. Nunes hence found himself effectively on pole alongside Super Nova’s James Jakes. At the start however, both men were slow to get away while Jakes’ teammate, Javier Villa, stalled. Starting from sixth, Vitaly Petrov found his way up to second place with Pastor Maldonado at ART in tow. Championship leader Kamui Kobayashi kept his position ahead of Ocean’s Yelmer Buurman. Jakes dropped to sixth.

Diego Nunes took a comfortable lead. Behind him, Pastor Maldonado ran wide, allowing Kobayashi, Buurman and Jakes to pass him. The Brit from Super Nova then overtook Buurman for fourth place. Vitaly Petrov, slightly slower than the rest of the cars behind him, tried to resist as much as possible to the charges of an impatient Kobayashi. Frustrated, the Dams driver decided to pit early on Lap 7. On track, Petrov made a small mistake letting Jakes back in second place. Two laps later, Buurman passed the Russian who pitted soon after that.

Jakes decided to obverse his mandatory pitstop on Lap 12 and came out of the pits right behind Kobayashi. The race leader came in one lap later with enough time to get back on track ahead of his closest rivals. Meanwhile, the lead was handed to iSport’s Hamad Al Fardan who waited until Lap 18 to pit. Nunes got back into the lead and cruised to his first GP2 victory.

In second place, Kamui Kobayashi held on his position although under constant pressure from James Jakes, but the Super Nova never found a way passed the Japanese. A late pitstop allowed Roldan Rodriguez on the second Piquet car to grab fourth place, ahead of Buurman. The Dutch scored Ocean Racing Technology’s first GP2 points in the young history of this new team. In sixth, Petrov eventually crossed the finish line before Maldonado who put huge pressure on the Russian towards the end of the race. Durango’s Davide Valsecchi managed to claim one point and tomorrow’s reversed pole which keeps his title hopes alive although now seventeen points behind Kamui Kobayashi in the drivers’ championship.

Right now, the US Congress is debating a law that would give them the power to censor the world's internet -- creating a blacklist that could target YouTube, WikiLeaks and even groups like Avaaz!

Under the new law, the US could force internet providers to block any website on suspicion of violating copyright or trademark legislation, or even failing to sufficiently police their users' activities. And, because so much of the internet's hosts and hardware are located in the US, their blacklist would clamp down on the free web for all of us.

The vote could be in days but we can help stop this -- champions in Congress want to preserve free speech and tell us that an international outcry would strengthen their hand. Let’s urgently raise our voices from every corner of the world and build an unprecedented global petition calling on US decision makers to reject the bill and stop internet censorship. Sign the petition and then forward as widely as possible - our message will be delivered directly to key members of the US Congress ahead of the crucial vote.
