The below mix of holiday e-cards you are about to see are the result of a perfect storm. Now, the clouds aren't dumping a record wintery mix on our quattro in the parking lot, but a gargantuan number of virtual holiday well-wishing in our in-box and on Facebook combined with a holiday spirited denial of service attack on our forums has had me holding off until just now to post this. That's all past, so see above
As mentioned earlier today, we've spent the last two weeks on trips to Germany and managed to collect plenty of content for upcoming features on Fourtitude. Some of this trip included making the quick five-minute drive from Audi's Ingolstadt facility to neighboring Wettstetten. MTM is so close to Audi, we've added them to our official FourSquare list of "Must-Visit"
Remember that polished aluminum Audi R8 spied on the MTM stand at Geneva Auto Show last spring? In case you don't, here's a quick rundown. The Ingolstadt-based Audi tuner performed perhaps the ultimate Audi engine transplant by dropping the biturbo V10 FSI of the RS 6 into an R8 chassis. The modifications certainly didn't stop there, with aero upgrades,
Unlike most North American auto shows, the European events tend to embrace a wide scope of automotive related businesses. In that vein, tuners and the aftermarket are a natural addition.
In Geneva there are really two levels of tuner presence. Companies like MTM (above) and Abt Sportsline (below) go big with the approach of building

Ken Shamrock is still god!
Why do so many people still hate him? He is still the best and the best there ever will be. Haven't you people on this forum seen his earlier fights? UFC 1 he wins by dominating Royce Gracie and Patrick Smith. And then at UFC 5 he owns Gracie again, just another story. Then at UFC 7 in one of the best matches ever he dominated Taktarov and won. Then at UFC 8 beat Kimo in and at UFC 9 in the best match ever in a war dominated Severn once again, what a shock. Plus he beat Brian Johnston, Brian Johnston, the man who beat Mark Coleman that is something to brag about. And he is still strong, he dominated PRIDE FC and thought it was too easy so came to UFC to spank Ortiz at UFC 40 and beat up Kimo again at UFC 48. And at Ultimate Fighter Finale beat Franklin now that is something to talk about. And plus was robbed against Ortiz at UFC 61 in his first ever loss. I don't know why hes quitting, he should go to PRIDE and talk Fedor and Wanderleis belt at the same time.
MMAFreak is back.
Good but not the best though he has his spot as one of the ELITE!
Actually he lost to Gracie in UFC 1 by rear naked choke in roughly a minute. If you bothered to study your history you would know that Gracie won the first two UFC's. In the third he and Shamrock were set to meet again but both were hurt and neither could continue so it was won by an alternate. Gracie came back to win # 4 against Severn.
The point I am making is that you do not know your facts. Shamrock fought Gracie to a draw the next time they met because there were no judges but if there had been very few could argue the fact that Shamrock would have indeed won that fight. But officially he never beat Gracie.
I am a Shamrock fan too and have been watching UFC since the mid nineties, I loved his interviews and the way he caried himself. Initially I loved watching him fight but the UFC pushed him but he was not the dominating force that they made him out to be, nor the force you made him out to be. He beat Takterov but it was by decision and though he dominated the guy he refused to quit. You are fortunate that the early fights have now been released on dvd. You may want to pick them up and watch some truely legendary fights.
Shamrock is still a legend but your statements were inaccurate. But now you know the truth.
welcome back rush:P
are u retarded? he didnt beat down franklin, in fact, he lost against most of those people u mentioned, accept the ones that happened over 10 years gao, wow, ur as dumb as he is
are u retarded? he didnt beat down franklin, in fact, he lost against most of those people u mentioned, accept the ones that happened over 10 years ago, wow, ur as dumb as he is
BACK in his day I'll give you, he was pretty good. But it's the new day that means anything now. I'll tell you that I have watched some of his resent fights and have yet to see him win, I think that he should just back out now before he makes himself look even worse than he already does.
I think this a sarcastic post fellas.
No, its a guy named MMAFreak and RUSH, he's an attention ***** who thrives off people posting on his posts. He tried to come out and say sorry for makeing up another name (under MMAFreak) and then people didn't accept it since he's such an assclown.
So now he's back under a different name talking shit to the people who wouldn't accept him (one of them is me).
Anyways just try to ignore him.

Hmm watching thus with great interest. I am just about to purchase a second hand dash too see if that cures it. I have exactly the same car and problem
right a quick update, after doing a bit of research threw my paper work i got with my car it as had a new heated front windscreen fitted 3 month's before i got the car, the bm garage as found out that this is the cause of my problem as somewhere the wire from the windscreen as some how rubed and caused the k-bus line to short out, cross my finger's this is it and i can get my car back, the bill so far from bm is £376+ vat.
as any body just had there windscreen replaced that is haveing the same problem?
Hmm keep us posted, cheers
E46 never came with a heated windscreen. Ford owned a patent on it. Only top non-BMW models have one when they pay the Royalty fee to Ford. I believe the 25 year patent has expired in the last few years. The only heated part of the E46 is a small heater inside the rain sensor/auto lights device to remove frost (which also has an iBus connection) behind the rear view mirror.
Well I disconnected my battery for a day while at work and hey presto ...all working
That's one result
Ain't it just, well happy. Still got a wheel sensor playing up but will swap the new one over on the weekend as I think I replaced the wrong side

About Me
I am a professional photographer and Artist.I enjoy spontaneity in the work and shoot. I also enjoy story telling...... I approach the photo much the same as I do my other art by just starting with the first frame on the blank canvas.........While I like to set the stage with props, settings, wardrobe, theme, etc I prefer to work than off what ever seems to be working without having set ideas on the outcome. I am always willing to take time to shoot what the model might need for her portfolio.
I also shoot live music...and did shoot for the 10,000 lakes Festival for 3 years. I also shoot a lot of live shows of local bands that impress me with their talent..

Took my 2001 Ex with 112,000 miles to local shop for a new timing belt and water pump and asked them to replace the thermostat with a 180F unit, (versus Honda's 170F). The shop refused stating possible problems with engine computer systems at the higher temperatures.
Has anyone changed out their thermostat to a 180F and experienced any engine problems?

EFI and Landa Form Strategic Alliance
Landa also commented: "Our unique Nanographic Printing process enables us to offer offset-quality digital printing and a combination of format size and throughput speeds unprecedented in the graphic arts industry. Reaching this remarkable and exciting goal requires partnering with best-in-class providers. That is the reason we chose Fiery technology and EFI as our development partner—to deliver the highest quality ultra-high-speed front-end platform to match the quality and performance of our Nanographic Printing presses."
End-to-end digital printing solution for mainstream applications
Landa selected EFI because of its technology leadership and expertise in high-speed digital systems and color and print management. Landa customers can use the new DFE to create an end-to-end solution that naturally fits into their printing operation, whether full offset, all-digital or hybrid offset/digital.
Landa Nanographic Printing Presses will be installed next to offset presses and use the same substrates. With the new DFE, Landa Nanographic Printing Presses will integrate into a printer's existing prepress, production, and business management workflow and finishing equipment. The Landa DFE will also ensure consistency, accuracy and compliance to leading color standards. It will enable high-speed, variable-data printing on any off-the-shelf B1 format (41″/1,050 mm) substrate.
High-end processing with integrated workflow capabilities
As with current EFI Fiery platforms, the new DFE will integrate with EFI's industry-leading MIS/ERP systems, as well as with leading third-party prepress and workflow platforms, for streamlined job
management and processing.
Fiery is the first and only DFE platform that carries a 100 percent perfect pass rating from industry organization VIGC's PDF RIP Audit. The Fiery DFE technology EFI is developing for Landa will use scalable, robust systems offering the processing power needed to drive large volumes of offset-quality digital images, including personalized/variable-data content.
The new Landa DFE will enter beta testing as part of the beta installations of the B1 (41″/1,050 mm) format Landa S10 Nanographic Printing Press slated for Q4 of this year.

"The spring is going good," said Johnson. "I am being more aggressive and doing everything I can to help my team win games."
With his combination of long arms, good athleticism, high level passing ability, and developing strength, Johnson has really opened up eyes with his play and he says he is only planning on working harder the rest of the summer.
"I have been working on my jump shot, blocking shots, my timing, and being stronger going up with the ball," said Johnson.
According to Dorian's Pride AAU director Christian Vaughn-Dawkins, Johnson has scholarship offers from Florida State, Maryland, Cincinnati, Miami, Oregon, Iowa State, Arizona State, Texas A&M, VCU, and USC. Also interest is coming in from Michigan State, Michigan, UNLV, Xavier, Memphis, and Arizona.
Neither in-state program has offered Johnson yet, but he does know about both Michigan and Michigan State and says it is an honor to hear from each program.
"I don't know how to explain it, but it is a great thing," said Johnson of the in-state interest. "Obviously both of them are great programs."
For now there is no timeframe at all for Johnson in terms of making his decision. Instead he is simply focused on getting better and improving his all-around game.
"I am getting stronger and working on my jump shot as well as attacking the basket," said Johnson.
Currently Johnson is a three-star prospect and someone whose best basketball looks to be ahead of him.

Nokia (NOK) is working very hard to compete with competitors in the smartphone department, such as Apple (AAPL). The Lumia 800C smartphone entering the Chinese market is the latest of such developments. This is its first Window-based smartphone and it will be sold through China Telecom (CHA). The price tag of this smartphone is $570, which is quite steep for many people, so the company will also be adding a less expensive phone, the Lumia 610C, to the Lumia product portfolio. Two other companies will also be joining on to sell these products in China, China Mobile Limited (CHL) and China Unicom Limited (CHU).
Apple is always innovating, moving forward with the iPhone 4S last year and planning to unveil the iPhone 5 sooner than most people's pocketbooks would like to know. Nokia is shifting its focus to China and India in an attempt to tap the markets that Apple is overlooking, because Apple seems to be too big of a giant in the United States.
It is also planning to ship the Lumia 900, a 4G-enabled Windows smartphone, in the States at the low price of $99.99 beginning this April. This is a major launch for Nokia, because AT&T (T) is partnering up with Nokia to make it something that is bigger than anything that has gone before it, including all of the iPhone launches. It will include a mammoth TV ad campaign that consists of some ads that make fun of Apple and Google (GOOG). This launch could jumpstart the company in the United States at the same time as it is going big in China and India, meaning that great things could be ahead for Nokia.
Nokia landed itself on the Pre-Market Most Active list in early April. It opened Tuesday up 0.01 at around $5.48 per share, having seen 101,367 shares traded. Apple also landed itself on this list, opening up 8.12 with prices around $626.75 and having seen 418,929 shares traded.
Nokia is sitting quite low in price per share compared to a year ago. Its 52 week low is around $4.46 and its 52 week high is around $9.42. The current price of around $5.45 per share is near the bottom of that range. This is in part because Apple has been booming lately, and Nokia is having trouble keeping up. Fortunately, the launch of the Lumia 900 is expected to turn that around. The low price, coupled with the projected success in the near future, led to Town Hall upgrading Nokia to a buy rating.
At the same time that the "buy" rating was being achieved, other analysts had their say about Nokia. The previous rating of "perform" by Oppenheimer (OPY) analysts was downgraded to "underperform. A "neutral" rating on shares was restated by Nomura (NMR) analysts. Another bad piece of news is that Barclays Capital (BCS) lowered the projected target price for Nokia shares to $8, down from $10 previously, and gave the stock a rating of "overweight."
This is a grim outlook, contrasting from the "buy" rating and the great plans that I was talking about before. I think that the lowered expectations are indicative of the recent struggles that Nokia has had competing with competitors like Apple in this economy. Nokia just does not have the strength to compete with the structural giant that Apple has created. By the way, Apple also has a "buy" rating on its shares. I would not get too down about Nokia, however, because the promise of big things with the launch of the Lumia 900, and the possibilities that are opened up by moving into the markets of China and India, make it very likely that Nokia will see better days soon. It is a great time to buy.
Nokia and Siemens (SI) have NOK)+(SI)/7318069.html" rel="nofollow">completed a transaction to "outsource the maintenance, technical support and R&D for the Operations Support System (OSS) and Subscriber Data Management (SDM) activities in Finland, including the transfer of 238 Nokia Siemens Networks employees, to Tieto" Corporation (TIE1V: FH). This agreement could be quite lucrative for Nokia.
Nokia, with its market cap of $20.15 billion, has had better days, but it certainly could be worse. It will be fine if it keeps pushing forward and innovating to get ahead of the competition.
There is currently some turmoil in the nano-SIM territory. Apple is under fire for allegedly having taken actions to increase its voting power with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in regard to nano-SIM standards. ETSI has delayed a ruling on whether or not the allegations are true, but this is certainly not something that Apple wants to deal with right now. Nokia is holding out that it will not give Apple the rights to its patents. This sort of issue is why Apple has had its way in the past. Apple has the resources and connections that other companies do not. However, other companies are catching up and Apple can not run ahead of the industry forever.
In my opinion the struggles are going to continue for Nokia. I would, however, say that I expect to see great things come out of the Lumia 900 and the business in China and India. All things considered, I am feeling cautiously optimistic about Nokia's future.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Don't be too quick to use the "R-word" when talking about Annika Sorenstam's future.
While plenty has been made about this week's Ricoh Women's British Open being the final major of Sorenstam's illustrious career, she's quick to point out that she only said she's stepping away from professional golf at the end of the year and not retiring. The decision might not be permanent.
"The door is not closed, and that's why I didn't use the 'R-word,'" Sorenstam told reporters. "I said I'm stepping away, and all of my sponsors are staying with me. Maybe they are hoping that I'm going to come back, so I'm going to continue to be involved with golf, either through the Annika Academy or these golf tournaments I'll be hosting and so forth.
"So I'll be keeping my game alive. Maybe not to the extent where it is today, but I will be still swinging and doing clinics and so forth."
However, Sorenstam declined to speculate just how long her sabbatical may last.
"I want to finish this year first," Sorenstam said. "I want to start the next chapter in my life and we'll see what happens. If I get the urge, then I know I can come back."
Sorenstam is looking to win her 12th major title this week at Sunningdale Golf Club in England. However, the Swede faces a deep and talented field of players that includes defending champion and world No. 1-ranked Lorena Ochoa.
Although Ochoa has eclipsed Sorenstam as the top women's player in the world, she said she still looks up to Sorenstam and appreciates the way she dominated the sport for a decade.
"We respect her a lot, and for sure it's something that makes us think how different it is going to be on the tour without her, and how much she has given us and golf," Ochoa said of Sorenstam. "Like any other player, I wish her the best in the next stage in her life. She helped me a lot and motivated me a lot and was a great inspiration to me and I thank her for all of the great memories."
Sorenstam certainly has plenty of those. Even though her only Women's British Open victory came in 2003 at Royal Lytham, she said she loves the event.
"It is my last one, and it's going to be emotional," Sorenstam said. "I think it's mixed emotions because I'm happy to be here. I've always liked the British Open and I've always liked Sunningdale, so I'm looking forward to the week."
No longer in her prime and no longer burning with the desire to get up each day and practice quite as much as she used to, Sorenstam said her expectations for herself remain high.
"I believe in myself and I know I can play this golf course, but the competition is tough and you just don't know," Sorenstam said. "I would love to play well here, but you know, it's not the end of the world."
Whether or not Sorenstam decides to return to the LPGA Tour, she said she couldn't have ever imagined just how successful her career would be.
"Looking at the LPGA [media guide] right there, and I have several pages," Sorenstam said. "I would have been happy with a photo and a bio ... some of my stats, but I've got five pages."
• SCHEDULE: Thursday-Sunday
• SITE: Sunningdale, England

Anyone looking back at the final scores of the 2009 Ricoh Women's British Open at Royal Lytham and St. Anne's will almost certainly come to the wrong conclusion that this was a comfortable three-shot win for Catriona Matthew. It was anything but as the seemingly imperturbable Scot struggled to hit a fairway throughout the final round and was only rescued by some superb recovery shots and a bunch of astonishing long putts.

Before you continues to read this post, please read the brief history of Aceh, until Tsunami disaster happened and finally get a special autonomy right from Indonesian central government.
For years the Indonesian military has struggle to fight against what we call Gerakan Aceh Merdeka / GAM (English: Free Aceh Movement) who want to establish an Islamic state and impose Sharia law in Aceh province. This proves that Indonesia do not wanting Islamic state system because Indonesia is a country based on the laws (national law), democratic, consist of various ethnic groups, has 6 official religion, with national motto: Unity in diversity, not an Islamic state that implement Sharia law.
However, this war has caused many casualties and was not offering the civil order, harmony, and security for millions of civilians in Aceh. I say thousands of victims as a side effect of war, not just a matter of the position of a woman as reported by Jakarta Globe with the title "Women Unfit to Lead, says Acehnese District Council Chairman". And I quoted a paragraph below:
"According to Shariah, a woman is prohibited from becoming a leader. Ridwan said Anisah's appointment as subdistrict chief in April had caused a rift in the community, with one side supporting her and the other against her".
Seemingly what was reported by the Jakarta Globe is to remind us (especially to Indonesian people outside Aceh) that if Islamic law applies, then this is the consequences that must be accepted. That was a good reminder I think.
A case will get different treatment depending on the context, degree, and its level. If we speak in a personal level, then the caning and the prohibition for women to be an official in Aceh province is pathetic. If we are talking in the context of state administration and law, then what happened in Aceh is a matter of choice. They have chosen Sharia law in Aceh province, not because of the Indonesian government. They have the right to choose Sharia law but those outside Aceh also have the right to reject the implementation of Sharia law. That woman are actually problems with the rules applicable there but she also have the option to live outside Aceh. I think this is a better solution to avoid more victims instead of continuing to impose our principles or belief.
The puzzle is: while they have the right to choose the Sharia law, then should the Indonesian military continue to eradicate their rights? If yes, then I am sure America will be screaming about human rights, while on the one side are also allergic to Islamic law.
Like China and Hong Kong - one country two systems, which it showing the eastern wisdom.

It's too bad that I don't see too many young Cadillac drivers around...

It's too bad that I don't see too many young Cadillac drivers around...
There is a few of us :) The new body styles have brought quite a bit more attention from the young guys so hopefully things will change. But GM getting rid of the V series isn't going to help.
Every once in a while I'll be on Mcloud and run across one or two, but its super rare...
Around the S.E. here, there's a few guys I always see rolling around in another 08 ESV, but they got it chromed up the ying yang with aftermarket mods... It's pretty sexy, never had a chance to chat with them though...
What do you guys think about these wheels on my car?
More pictures @ http://allgonshow.info/
Nice rims, but I wouldn't be the person to ask... I'm more into the fuller looking rims...
I am up for a meet since I drive it in the winter. Not too fun on icy or cold cold weather. Was sweet couple weeks ago when roads were dry.
Well how many Cadillac owners are there on these forums?
What would everyone be down for???
We could round everyone up one afternoon and head out for cocktails at a place like Seven, or somewhere Stephen Ave? (Take up all the parking spots, Mwhaha).
I'd be down for Coffee/Cruise type deal.
The V isn't going anywhere. Now that GM has the V2 out, they will make as many as people will buy. Now if you want to talk about the V3, then you may be correct, development work has probably stopped until the next boom.
I'd be interested a group meeting for coffee. Don't want to go downtown, spent enough of my life on 7th Ave when my daughter worked at the Met. (picking up and dropping off)
Cruise to banff!
Cruise to Banff would be nice. Do they have any nice Coffee shops like Deville or anything?
Maybe some Belgium pastry like Manual Latruwe?
No idea, havn't been down there in forever...
I say we go somewhere that has lot of pretty single ladies. 4 Caddy pulls up and they expect 60 year olds but instead see 4 bachelors :-).

Arsenal have been drawn against the 'Yellow Submarine' of Villarreal in the Champions League Quarter Finals. As always, Arsenal.com will be keeping you up to date with the results of the Gunners' European opponents in our weekly Euro Watch.
Almeria 3-0 Villarreal
Saturday, April 4.
Former Gunner Robert Pires was sent off as Villarreal warmed up for Tuesday night's Champions League clash with Arsenal by losing 3-0 at Almeria.
The Yellow Submarine were completely out of sorts against their mid-table opponents and conceded three times in the first half. Negredo, Piatti and Mane all took advantage of Villarreal's sloppiness to put the result beyond doubt by half-time.
Pires received his second yellow card on the hour mark and things went from bad to worse for Arsenal's next opponents when Santi Cazorla suffered a broken leg which will rule him out for the rest of the season.
Villarreal remain fourth in the Primera Liga, nine points adrift of third-placed Sevilla and just two ahead of Valencia in the race for European places.

Cadillac or competing brand model ? Why ? Discussion, 1992 Sedan deVille v. 1999 Mercedes Benz S320 in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; Yeah, I know it's not a very direct comparison, but hey, I own 'em both, I figure I'll compare em! ...
1992 Sedan deVille v. 1999 Mercedes Benz S320
Yeah, I know it's not a very direct comparison, but hey, I own 'em both, I figure I'll compare em!
The 4.9 is an old school beast. Loads of low end power, muscular V8 sounds and a rough idle. Lightning quick takeoffs are the norm here, It will literally beat almost any other daily driver four door sedan out of the hole, and I've had it spin the inside drive wheel through first gear before. Midrange is good too, but get to about 65-70 and it seems like it hits a brick wall. Acceleration above about 73 is LETHARGIC. Oh well though, these aren't high performance sedans by any stretch so I shouldn't complain.
The "M104" 3.2L DOHC I-6 in the Benz is all technology. 228hp and 232 lb/ft from a motor that's only 195 CID...very impressive! It uses all the state of the art gizmos to get it too...variable valve timing for the intake valves, dual overhead camshafts, two stage tuned resonance intake manifold, etc etc. Now it's not an overly fast engine, but it's got a nice wide powerband and you don't can cruise around all day and not hit 3,000 rpm. It doesn't have much in the way of low end power, but the midrange is good and it really starts to wake up at about 3500-4000 rpm. Under heavy acceleration, it revs quick and stays in the engine's sweet spot as much as possible...very nice.
The 4.9 feels and sounds harsher, whereas the 3.2 is nearly silent (aside from the noise coming from the intake manifold) under normal acceleration, but you'll hear it's swan song upon heavy acceleration.
Fuel Economy:
Cadillac: pretty good (I'd get anywhere between 13-16 in town and 23-25 highway)
Benz: pretty damn good (18-19 town, 24 highway)
Cadillac's tranny is better. Can't beat the 4T60-E for a tranny...smooth, almost imperceptible shifts when cruising and fast, abrupt shifts when under heavy acceleration. The Benz has a nice tranny too, but I hate how it acts when the engine is cold. It stays in the lowest gear as long as possible so the engine will hold the high RPMs, thereby warming up the 02's ASAP, making the fuel economy better. I hate how it feels, but understand why it's done and therefore, I'm *ok* with it. Otherwise, it's a very good tranny...very smooth, but it shifts fast and w/o any BS under heavy throttle and it's quiet.
Both are great looking cars, but I think the Benz has the better overall design. I simply think the W140 Benzes, especially the 97-99's, due to the small changes, are some of the best looking four door cars ever put into production by anyone. I can't really describe why I think so, but I just do, and I have since they were new. But I must say though, the 91-93 deVilles, especially the Sedans, are still some of Cadillac's best designs ever IMO.
Now when I say handling, I mean how well does it fare down a curvy road that I drive down on my way to and from work. The deVille was *OK* down this road, but the Benz is spectacular, especially considering the sheer weight of the car (4500 lbs). I can follow the inside white line in the lanes with no problem...can't do that in the deVille...I get massive understeer if I try.
The Cadillac has better pedal feel, but the Benz has better braking performance.
The Cadillac is dynamite from 0 to about 45 and then weans off gradually until it hits a brick wall at about 75. The Benz is mediocre until about 35-40 then starts to gradually wake up. By about 75-80, I'd like to think that she could keep up with an LT1 B/D Body from a rolling start. Highway acceleration in that car is amazing, especially for a little 6 cylinder in a car of that size. Very little throttle input is needed to accelerate more than you actually need.
Both are very smooth cars...the deVille is smooth in your typical American "I feel like I'm the captain of the Queen Mary" way. In the Benz, you feel like you're the captain of a business jet. It's just smooth, no bobbing or floating at all.
The steering feel in the Cadillac was pretty good...just a bit of dead zone in the center, but other than that, it had good road feel. In the Benz, it's amazing. There's no dead spot, and it takes about the same amount of effort to turn as in the deVille, but it's much more direct. Brilliant.
Upon your first sit, you'd think that the deVille would be much more comfortable because the seats are so soft and cushy, like sitting on a marshmallow, but in the long run, the Benz's firm seats cause less fatigue. The Benz has better lower lumbar support and the Cadillac has better higher lumbar support (the part by your shoulderblades). Also, the Benzes seats have pretty good side bolsters, and for all intensive purposes, the deVilles are flat (if they weren't so deep...)

After he lost his job running a commercial oven, Gilbert Williams was not about to sit around, collecting unemployment.
"I got up every morning as if I was going to work," says Williams, a Vietnam War veteran who was one of 600 employees in Utah and 18,000 nationwide left in the cold when Twinkie maker Hostess Brands went bust in November. He had worked there 14 years.
"I appreciated unemployment, believe me, but I'd rather be working," says Williams. "Unemployment makes you lazy."
It might have been that attitude that led to three job offers by January, including the one he took as a housekeeping aide at the George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
"When you're unemployed, any job is a good job," says Williams.
Williams' two-month stint among the ranks of unemployed veterans was short. Some are not as fortunate, although fewer vets who want jobs are going without them as the economy improves.
As with the general population, the veteran unemployment rate has improved markedly in the past two years. It still remains higher that the non-veterans' rate, however, and advocacy groups and government agencies remain focused on getting jobs for vets.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, along with First Command and a host of Utah sponsors, plans a "Hiring Our Heroes" job fair for veterans and their spouses Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics' surveys pegged the general jobless rate at 7.9 percent in 2012, and at 9.9 percent for veterans, down from 12.1 percent the year before.
For the youngest veterans, however, the jobless rate was at 20 percent, nearly 4 percentage points higher than for 18- to 24-year-olds in the general population.
Utah's overall employment picture is better. In 2012, unemployment in general was 5.2 percent, and 7.2 percent among veterans in the labor force. The number of young veterans surveyed by the bureau was too low to draw clear conclusions about that group.
According to the survey, though, Utah has 21,000 veterans of the post-9/11 era, and 5,000 are not in the labor force at all.
If Williams' attitude helped him get a job, he is quick to share the credit with the Department of Workforce Services, where veteran representative Ray Stray helped him write a resume, learn to use a computer to look for jobs and then practice interviewing.
Stray, who served in the Air Force from 1986 to 1996, works in the metro office of DWS, near downtown Salt Lake City, and works with many homeless veterans.
Of late, he has been seeing more young veterans, including one who is 20 and was medically discharged after two years of combat.
"It's tough on these guys," says Stray. Many veterans have medical problems that only compound any personal relationship problems, he says.
The DWS has 20 veteran service representatives all veterans who work in 33 employment centers, says Karla Aguirre, director of the workforce development division of DWS.
Veterans get moved to the front of the line for help finding jobs and even get first crack at openings if they qualify for them.
"One of the challenges we have is getting those vets to actually engage with us," says Aguirre. "Sometimes they are not ready to find a job. Sometimes they're out of the labor force."

No. 14 Vulcans hit the links
The University of Hawaii at Hilo's men's golf team tees off today, and if all goes right during a season that's split into fall and spring campaigns, the conclusion won't come until May of next year.
Compared to other college sports, it's a long journey. But as the Vulcans learned last season at regionals, every shot counts.
After missing out on a spot in the NCAA Division II championships by a single, agonizing stroke, UH-Hilo returns four of its top golfers.
The headliners are Corey Kozuma and Dalen Yamauchi.
Kozuma, a senior from Honolulu, was the Pacific West Conference Co-Player of the Year last season with a resume that included one victory and five top-six finishes.
Yamauchi, a junior, peaked in the postseason. The Waiakea graduate finished second at the conference finals, and then he placed fifth at regionals to earn an individual spot at NCAAs.
"They've both been shooting under par in practice pretty consistently," coach Earl Tamiya said.
Kozuma was first and Yamauchi second as UH-Hilo held seven rounds of qualifying to determine its five-man group for its first road trip of the season.
The No. 14-ranked Vulcans play at the Western Washington University Invitational today and Tuesday in Bellingham, Wash., before heading south to the Golfweek Invitational the following week in Sunriver, Ore.
Neither Kozuma nor Yamauchi drive the ball off the tee like Jamie Hall — a key member of last year's team who has transferred from UH-Hilo — but both are consistent.
"They've both been putting it out there, and the game gets easier when you hit off the tee," Tamiya said. "Hopefully, Corey has a big senior year."
Tamiya also thinks Yamauchi's game will improve now that he's an upperclassman, making it easier for him to recapture the momentum he gained during the spring.
"He's come a long way, but we expect his mental side to improve," Tamiya said. "He took a dip during the summer, but he's been picking it up."
The other three golfers who made the trip to Washington were seniors Chris Shimomura and Christian Agosto, and sophomore Kyeton Littel.
Agosto, who's from Honolulu, enters his fourth year in the program, but he played a limited schedule last season and never qualified to count toward UH-Hilo's team score.
"He's been playing well, but we don't know what to expect," Tamiya said. "He has to take his game from the practice round to competition."
Shimomura is listed at 5-foot-7 and 118 pounds on the roster, but Tamiya said he hits well and was third in preseason qualifying.
Maui natives Littel and Shimomura both enjoyed their best success last season at the Dennis Rose Invitational at Waikoloa Kings' Golf Course, finishing second and fifth, respectively.
Tamiya looks for Littel to improve upon a freshman season in which he was third-team all-Pac West.
"He didn't have that much experience but he matured in a big way," Tamiya said.
The fall portion of the schedule finishes with the Dennis Rose Invitational, Oct. 28-29.

The Battle for First Period: Students, Teachers and Teen Biorhythms
In case you hadn't heard, teenagers are tired.
"Sleep is awesome, and we need more of it," said Amy Hao, a senior at Townsend Harris High School in Flushing.
Claudel Choisene, a senior at the High School for Public Service: Heroes of Tomorrow in Crown Heights, boiled his need for sleep down to this: "Sleep longer and be happy, or sleep less and be unhappy."
Research has shown that teenagers need more sleep than adults or even younger children, between nine and 10 hours every day. And sleep patterns during adolescence tend to make teenagers go to bed late and wake up late, according to the National Sleep Foundation.
For principals, student sleep is a matter not just of student health — but student performance.
Anthony Barbetta is the principal of Townsend Harris, and he's been thinking about teenage sleep for years. At his last school — where first period started at 7:10 a.m. — he noticed that attendance, and the passing rates, were lower in first period. So he scheduled only certain classes first thing in the morning, like automotive classes, where students worked with their hands. Now, at high-achieving Townsend Harris, Barbetta has moved the start time 20 minutes later, and has asked teachers to stagger homework assignments, hoping to help his students achieve a kind of work-life balance.
Research backs up Barbetta's efforts — and early start times might not impact first period alone. In one study out of the University of California at Davis, researchers followed first-year students at the U.S. Air Force Academy and found that early start times, before 8:00 a.m., had a negative impact on students' grades in all of their classes throughout the day.
The majority of New York City high schools begin after 8:00 a.m. But in a city where many students travel outside their neighborhoods, the school day begins long before the first bell.
"I do have students that are coming from an hour-and-a-half away for an 8:30 start time," said Jason Zanitsch, who teaches English and drama at the High School for Public Service. "So they get on the bus by 7 o'clock. They get up an hour prior to that to get ready. That's 6:00 a.m."
He said students are regularly late to his first period class, which affects their grade. He estimated that less than 30 percent of students show up on time.

Comments (3)
Let's get straight to the point here, though: his column (Adrian Dater) from yesterday, "NHL games won't pull big crowds till players stop being so nice," is absolute bunk. Swings and misses of this multitude are usually reserved for the big-time paper columnists like Jay Mariotti. You know, the guy who covers "general sports", writes about hockey maybe once or twice a year and usually uses the space to take some sort of potshot at the sport as a whole.

I have several Invicta watches; some automatics, some quartz and one hand-wind.
Overall, I think that they're very good watches, but you really need to shop around to get the very best prices (like today's woot).
IMHO, Invicta Customer Service leaves a lot to be desired -- if you have watch problems, you're pretty much on your own.
If you want to see these in person, just go to your local Sam's Club ... they have a good selection of Invicta watches in the $50-70 range.
I have two Invicta watches, beat them constantly, and they stand up very well. I highly recommend considering the price.
I wonder if the Air Force would authorize this in uniform, because that's a damn nice watch.
"Conservative"....Hmmmm...I'd call that conservative enough.
bridog6996 wrote:Is it heavy? Nothing worse than a big heavy watch.
I can think of a few things worse. In fact there are quite a few people want their watches to be big and heavy. All a matter of taste I guess.

eneref wrote:A word of warning with this watch. While it is an absolutely gorgeous watch, and Invicta makes excellent and stylish timepieces (I own about 20 Invicta watches), they are VERY particular about warranty repairs in that it be purchased from an authorised Invicta dealer.
The Square Trade warranty, if work anything (I've never looked into them) might be more reliable than sending this back to Invicta. It really all depends upon whether or not Woot! has some sort of special dispensation from Invicta when selling these.
That said, I've 20 Invicta watches, and only 1 has ever had any issues (sometimes the hands get stuck and won't move, so the time gets off -- an issue with something inside the case.... possibly something in the gears). I sent it back to Invicta -- they charge a minimum $25 to ship the watch back to you, and you have to pay shipping to them.
If you're interested in their warranty repair costs, there's a breakdown here:
There's also the mention about how they refuse to support the warranty if it doesn't come from an authorised dealer.

MrDragon wrote:YIKES! It makes you all wrinkly!!!!
Does it cause Sun Damage? Dehydration?
I particularly like the way the knob is digging in to this poor guys wrist.
As a advid collector of fine timepeices, I would not recommed Invicta to anybody who is looking for a "serious" time peice. I would much rather spend more money, to purchase something that will last a lifetime, rather than a quik fix for looks. These watches do not have the craftmenship of finer watches. Having said that, paying under $100 dollars is not much for what I consider to be "costume jewelry" Again, if you are looking for a watch that will last generations, Invicta might not be the best way to go.
Found the same watch on Amazon for $110.99; it supposedly retails for $375. It has 4 out of 5 stars after 31 reviews.
mmiteshm wrote:See yrself,HERE HERE.
Nailed it!
You can't beat the price. Invicta is known for high quality for the price and at this price you are getting a steal.
n 4 1
I bought two of these watches (the one displayed, and one with a deep royal blue face) about 2 years ago for $150 each (from a place called Precision Time in the Chandler Fashion Square mall in Chandler, AZ). Over the years, I wore them interchangably with each other pretty much every day. The watches craftsmanship is a step above what you'd get at the mall for under $100, rivaling the likes of Fossil and Guess with ease, and trumping them in terms of durability and looks. The face isn't as easily scratched as most economy brands (under $100) and the weight of the watch, while not heavy, is far from flimsy or fragile. The battery is still going strong, and with that wraps up my review for this amazing watch.
If you like great watches, or know a man that does, get this watch!
Not always great quality . . . I've had my Invicta watches (both of them) back into the jewelry shop for misc reasons TWICE now. Both purchased on WOOT, both the biggest pain in the butt of any watch we've ever owned. Watch that "gold plated" will rub off in six months, making it look like carp.
Holy Cow... I just woke up and can't believe this is not sold out yet... People, you have no idea what a watch this is.. Screw Rolex.... INVICTA'S are amazing!! This watch hits retail at over 300.00 and 129.00 on Shop NBC... That is the ONLY other place to get an even close deal on this thing.... I wish I had the money to buy one.. My wife and I LOVE our INVICTA'S and I want tons more! Any extras... go ahead and ship them my way... My father-In law would LOVE one!

No offense but when you need to send an INVICTA back, send it to INVICTA.. your local jeweler might be out of their league and that might be why you have had to bring them back more than once..
HolyMythos wrote:How does it go with keeping time? I'm well aware that it's a watch, I just want to know if it gets offbeat after a few months.
I have the all stainless version of this watch. It keeps exceptional time. The Superspryteachu! I choose you! Quartz movement, while not as "cool" as the Swiss Automatic movement in some of their watches, keeps time very well.
I got a Speedway II 5092 off of Invicta's Sunday Run a few months ago (think woot, but not funny and only every other week). Was about $60 shipped. It's similar to the one sold on Woot two June's ago (actually looked at that Woot's comments to make sure I was getting a good deal).
Invicta Speedway II 5092
I like it a lot, and it's a nice alternative to my Orient automatic. It looks nice with casual outfits and suits. I've gotten a few compliments on it, too.
If you're not familiar with watch dimensions, I should point out: it's HUGE. I was expecting a large watch given the 42mm face (this woot's is 40mm), but what surprised me was how thick it is vertically, too.
It look too much like a fake breitling watch. It might be a good watch but if they want to make a name for themselves they need to not look like so much like anothe name brand.
pepsilude wrote:is invicta even a good brand?
Watches are watches.
No watch really tells time significantly better than a $20 Timex. Anything pricier than that is a fashion accessory or piece of jewelry.
If you're spending more than $20, you have to ask yourself what message you're trying to send. If you want people to think you're not particularly well endowed, buy a Rolex. If you want people with Rolexes to think you're a poseur, buy one of these.
Wait a minute, the Bulova factory is in my neighborhood and people are hurting! Buy a Bulova! All other watches are just fashion accessories.

Watch this site:
Deal a Day for watches. I've been watching for about 2 weeks, and roughly half are invictas. The watch of the day seems to have a wide range of styles. Just pay attention, and you're bound to see something you like.
Another overpriced watch? Why don't they just open watch.woot.com and be done with it.

Wow, talk about slave to fashion. Rolex is a joke too... a very expensive joke. Just like a giant gold chain tangled in the chest hair or an Escalade with gold rims, any overt man-accessory screams "compensation for inadequate hardware" no matter what the price.
If you dig the style, buy it. But don't get hung up on prestige. I'm stunned by the number of comments like "I have 20 of these..." Puh-leez. I'm not the richest guy by any stretch, but I could buy a new house in cash every couple of years, and I don't even wear a watch except with a suit. You want to impress me? Pay for your kid's college.
For a price this low who cares about warranty! Besides, the two tone bracelet is two flashy and looks fake; I usually replace it a with leather band to give a more subtle look.

Amazing how the cell phone is killing an item created out of WWI
Before WWI, men used pocket watches while women used bracelet wrist watches. During the war, the first wartime wrist band watches were introduced for military use.... and it became standard and killed the pocket watch.
The pocket watch is not dead! It has just been severely wounded/crippled/maimed.

No, the pocket watch is alive and well. It just changed shape... and gained the ability to dial phone numbers and transceive radio signals. You can even get nice little leather holsters and belt clips for your modern pocket multi-function device.
Everything old is new again...
AWESOME, thanks for that link! Now I can spend $60 instead of $14,000. I'd better be getting *exactly* the same quality, otherwise W00t just leaps into the vacuum. In fact, I could buy 233 of these Invictas for that Rolex price, keep 'em on the shelf, and just throw it away after wearing it for a month or two. By then, w00t will offer implantable chips that you insert through your ear, or high up inside your nose, depending on the model.
I smell another future woot-off killer in the making!
Can I enlarge the band for a thick wrist?
jimgolf wrote:Watches are watches.
no, they're not.
Not woot-worthy! Invicta? Why? You can only buy them from discount retailers for 1/100th of the suggested retail price.
I own five invicta watches and have given several as gifts. Absolutely no complaints as to the quality. My favorites are the ceramics. I've worn their model #3935 for work just about everyday for the last two years for the past two years. Never misses a beat and LOTS of compliments!!!
babinoj wrote:No offense but when you need to send an INVICTA back, send it to INVICTA.. your local jeweler might be out of their league and that might be why you have had to bring them back more than once..
No offense, but Invicta has already HAD them returned. They die after two or three weeks and Invicta does not see a problem. Look, buddy, this is NOT a quality product.
riffdaddy wrote:It will keep time and look nice. It's at least $60 good, but it's not a Movado.
It's funny you should say that. Both me and my boss had $650+ Movados several years back. His stopped working after 2 years (he was told it wasn't the battery when he took it in), and the wristband broke on mine. I'm a super obsessive/compulsive freak, and go out of my way to take care of what I own, and keep it looking like brand new for as long as possible, so it had NOTHING to do with the way I treated the watch.
Meanwhile, even my "piece of cräp" Timex and Fossil watches have never failed me, other than one of my 5+ year old Timex' needing a battery at some point. Aside from the fact that the concept of paying hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars for a watch is utterly stupid (yes, I was being young and stupid back then with my money), the performance/durability of those Movados is why I determined I'd never pay over $100 for a watch again.
A maybe stupid question: how is it compared to Seiko Men's Chronograph Stainless Steel Model Number SND217? That Seiko watch is for $5 more:
jespensc wrote:No, the pocket watch is alive and well. It just changed shape... and gained the ability to dial phone numbers and transceive radio signals.
Funny you'd mention that...I've been in the "cell phone as watch" camp for a while, but I think it's time a bought a watch. Why? Well, every time I go into the transit tunnel, I can't tell what time it is, because the phone says "SEARCHING FOR SERVICE" instead of the damn clock. :P
Invicta = scaffolding
Give me a break! I own 2 Rolex's a gold submariner and a ss gmt. They are great jewelry lousy watches. They keep terrible time and have a cancellation ass warranty for $10k+ dollars. I also own 2 Invictas. They are nice watches that hold up well and keep great time. Yes it is a Daytona knock off, but so what.
pbalkan wrote:Gimme a break. Fine Swiss quality in a knock-off of a Rolex Daytona with a Japanese Quartz movement????
"Speedway" model instead of "Daytona,"... clever.
The Rolex Daytona, which this watch tries to copy, has a Rolex-made automatic (self-winding) movment and screw-downs for the chrono buttons.
The bracelet latching is different and I haven't seen the case-back at all.
Since Quartz watches are usually more accurate than mechanical movements and require less service... you may very well get an accurate timepiece.
But... to anyone who knows anything about fine watches... it's a $60 Invicta. Go ahead an buy one....just don't fool yourself.

Hey All, unfortunately i have sold my 328 Coupe and am also selling my JBL MS-8 Series Digital Processor. The JBL was bought brand new from amazon on April 3, 2012.

I will include everything that the original box came with (as seen in picture) except for some of the wires that came with that were used in the harness. I paid $530 for this new and can show you the amazon receipt to confirm purchase date for warranty purposes. I am selling this for $410 shipped.
I also have Technic's plug'n'play harness that can be used for the 3 series HIFI sound system. The installation was an absolute breeze with this harness and the sound improvement was amazing!! I paid $100 for this new from Technic. Harness price is $70 shipped.
If you want both I will sell both at a discount for $450 shipped or will sell them seperately. If you live local around Denver I can deliver or meet you somewhere.

These guys aren't bad. Not as good as smartwool, but a nice light weight. They wear through in the heels and in the front pad kinda quickly. They are great for summer hiking, and layering once they are broken in. Not super warm for winters.

http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/bc/glacier/index.aspxGlacier National Park of Canada protects, for all time, a portion of the Columbia Mountains Natural Region, in the interior wet belt of British Columbia. The steep, rugged mountains, warm, moist climate and wide variety of plant and animal life are typical of this natural region. The park protects unique stands of old-growth cedar and hemlock and critical habitat for threatened and endangered wildlife species such as the mountain caribou, mountain goat and grizzly bear. The Rogers Pass National Historic Site is located in Glacier National Park. Rogers Pass was so designated for its importance in the construction and development of the country's first major national transportation route.

Downhill Mountain Bike Trails
Boulder Mountain Downhill Network
http://bikerevelstoke.org/enter/?page_id=2429Access: Boulder is accessed from the Westside Rd. From Revelstoke, head west from the TransCanada highway #1 and Victoria Rd/Laforme Dr intersection (Tim Horton's). Drive west on Hwy 1, turn right at the lights on Westside Rd, travel ~3km. Turn Left on Jordan FSR, just past the Revelstoke Landfill. Drive to 1km corner on the Jordan FSR. This is where you can leave a retrieval vehicle and where the majority of trails come out. Trails to ride: Loggin Leftovers – Blue – Starts from a spur road at the 5km corner on the Jordan FSR. Park on the spur road and pedal a short distance. You will see the trail start in the cutblock on the left. This trail has a few crossings that are marked with a sign post (but no sign yet!). The trail crosses the power-line where you will come to a fork – stay straight for Loggin Leftovers or right to the Boondocker (black). Gravy Bacon –Black Diamond - Starts ~300m before the 5km corner on the Jordan FSR. Cross the powerline and stay straight at the junction to finish on the Boondocker or head left for Loggin Leftovers. There are built structures on this trail (double black diamond) – check 'em before you ride 'em! Lower Bike Club trail – Blue – This trail starts close to the first road crossing on Loggin' Leftovers. Drive to about 2km on the Jordan FSR and take the spur road that accesses the power-line. Follow this spur to the bottom of the cutblock (stay right from the power-line), the trail starts between Boondocker (downhill) and Loggin' Leftovers (uphill). It is a short section of trail that finishes at the power-line where you can connect to Loggin Leftovers or Boondocker. Upper Bike Club trail– Double Black Diamond - This trail can be accessed from two locations – From the 2100 Spur Rd (approx. 5.5km on Jordan FSR) or from the 2500 Spur Rd (approx. 7.5km on Jordan FSR).

Frisby Ultimate Downhill Trail (access rd.)
http://mountainbikingbc.ca/trail/ultimate-frisby-trailThis great downhill trail, accessed from the same logging road as the new Frisby Ridge XC trail, is one of the classic DH trails in the area. With great cliffside views of the Jordan River below (careful) and steep terrain that will have you shaking out your arms more than a few times on the descent, this trail offers up a downhill experience that will have you returning lap after lap trying to memorize each curve, berm or steep roll. Some fall maintenance and a few well placed reroutes, an improvement in flow, sightlines and drainage will make the experience on this trail even better for the upcoming season. Connect this trail after riding the new Frisby Ridge XC trail to make en epic ride that will give you mix of every kind of riding you may be looking for. A minimum of an all-mountain bike is advised for this trail. Distance Information: Elevation Information: 1100m to 600m Rating: expert DH Access: From Revelstoke go west on Highway #1, at the Hig
Sale/Martha Creek Trail
http://www.bikepirate.com/dh-trails/martha-creekThe Martha Creek (Sale Mt.) Trail is a spectacular 1580m/9km descent from alpine meadows to valley bottom. The trail is equipped with low and mid-elevation access points for early and late season rides, and the option for a 5000ft climb up logging roads to the top. Access: Starting at the Hwy1/Hwy 23N junction drive 21km north of Revelstoke. Turn right on the Sale Mountain FSR, and drive a further 15km's of dirt road to the summit. You will need 4wd to drive the last 5km's of this road. Specific mileage to the summit from the start of the FSR is: at 5.2km turn left. Turn right at 11.3km (you are now in a large cutblock). Turn left at 11.6km. Turn right at 12.8km. 15.7km finds you at the top of the road at the tower. The trail descends to the south. Low Elevation Access: At 5.2km turn right. Go 2.8km and turn left. Finally another 1.2km along, turn right. As of Sept. 2011 the road is washed out here, it may be passed by bikers at low water. The trail is found a few hundred meters down this road. Mid Elevation Access (not passable by vehicle): From the 11.6km junction go right and travel 2.8km to the trail intersection. The Ride: The trail drops from the tower into some technical riding right off the start. This leads into beautiful, mellow alpine meadows. Once the meadows end, so does the easy riding. Steep and fun technical riding through old growth forest and cutblocks will challenge any type of rider. Midway down, the trail gets fast and flowy with newly refurbished sidehill sections that will have your rotors smoking. The lower section slows down into technical rocks and roots, testing your bike skills along with testing your now tired arms and hands. Take your bike across the highway at the bottom and go cool off in Lake Revelstoke at the Martha Creek campground. This 5000 foot descent is one of the best you'll find for miles around and will have you returning again and again for years to come. Notes: Summit is not snow free until early July. Please do not drift – it causes huge

Epic Alpine XC Bike Trails
Frisby Ridge Trail
http://www.bikepirate.com/x-country-trails/frisby-ridgePerhaps the most accessible alpine mountain bike trail in BC, the new Frisby Ridge Trail offers a perfect introduction to the high elevation adventure Revelstoke has to offer. Starting in a cut-block at an elevation of 1330m, this trail climbs gently but steadily for 12km before descending to a sub-alpine lake. The views along Frisby Ridge are nothing short of spectacular and there are many opportunities to stop for pictures and a rest. Once you've turned yourself around the descent back to the parking lot is a fast and flowy piece of heaven. Remember, uphill riders have the right of way so use caution when approaching the many blind corners. It is important to note that there is no water between the trailhead and the lake so riders should prepare accordingly. Access: From Revelstoke head west on Highway #1, at the Highway #23 junction (traffic lights here), turn right (north) onto Westside Road. Drive for about 8km to a point where it turns into an odd 4 way junction leading off onto gravel logging roads. To this point, don't be fooled by the Frisby Ridge Snowmobile signs, some point the right way, some don't! Turn left on the Frisby Ridge Road (signed as such), and there is also a tall cedar post with a small blue sign indicating "Rec Trail" with an arrow and bike symbol. All subsequent junctions are signed similarly, and will lead you 9km up the gravel road to the parking area (trailhead kiosk here). The access is 2 wheel drive accessible, but we recommend a vehicle with some clearance. Cycling from town to the trailhead adds about 2 hours and 800m of climbing. Distance Information: 12.9km one way Elevation Information: 1330m (parking lot) to 2030m (high point) Rating: intermediate XC
Keystone/Standard Basin Trail
http://mountainbikingbc.ca/trail/keystone-standard-basin-trailThe Keystone Standard Basin trail sets the standard for epic alpine rides. Only 2km of technical climbing from the parking lot and you burst into the alpine, with kilometers of buff singletrack snaking across the basin before you. The month of August sees these meadows blazing with wildflowers while every day of the year you will be surrounded snow covered peaks and distant glaciers. After several kilometers of fast singletrack and a superb climb through numerous avalanche paths you'll be treated to an eye watering descent to a sub-alpine lake. Here beside the lake is a cabin and this is were most folks will rest up before tackling the trail in reverse. Distance Information: 11km to the cabin Elevation Information: 1800m to 2200m Rating: expert XC Access: Turn off Highway #1 and drive 50kms north of Revelstoke on Highway #23N. Turn right (east) on the Keystone FSR. Drive a further 15km's of dirt road to reach the trail head almost at tree line (road junctions are signed). The road is rough in spots but can be driven with a high clearance 2wd. This road is subject to logging traffic, a VHF radio is recommended.

Mt. Cartier Rec Trail
http://bikerevelstoke.org/enter/?page_id=2478The Mt. Cartier recreation trail has been used for many years as a great early season mt. bike ride, it is one of the first trails to melt out in the spring. More recently, the potential of this trail has begun to show itself…the hardiest of riders are riding up it to the summit of Mt. Cartier, and the more adventurous and getting a heli-drop at the summit and down-hilling it! The summit views are all time! - Access: From Revelstoke drive about 10km south on Airport Way, there is a brown trailhead kiosk on the east side of the road, park on the shoulder. - The Ride: Lower Cartier provides an undulating climb with a few steep switch-backs to a view point at 2.5km, and a very nice flowy descent. If you need to push yourself a little harder, ascend the trail for about 2000m/6500ft to the summit!
