The design team for the 2011 Kia Sportage is basedout of Irvine, California. They were given the task toattract a younger buyer. It’s easy to see the impact oftheir chief designer, Peter Schreyer (he is credited withthe design of the TT). The 2011 Sportage has lost itssquare/boxy look. It is replaced with long curves thatstart at the front bumper and end above the tailgate. Thehigh shoulders and strong wheel arches just add to thenew slick look. The 2011 has also grown a little - thewheelbase is only about 1/3 of an inch longer while theoverall vehicle length is 3 1/2 inches longer and 2.1 inch-es wider. Most of this extra space has been added to thecargo area..

The 2011 Sportage went on sale in the U.S. in July

2010. All early market research shows that thedesign team accomplished its goal. High Schooland college-age drivers love it.

I test drove the EX front wheel drive modeland loved it. It’s 2.4L engine has ample poweraround town. It has 18 inch tires on alloy wheelsand turns on a dime which makes driving fun in thecity or on a winding mountain road.The Kia Sportage is packed with value. The base

price is in the high teens & comes with a long list of stan-dard features and outstanding safety ratings. When youadd in 31 mpg highway and Kia’s 10 year/100,000 milewarranty, you will be hard pressed to find a better looking5 passenger SUV for the money.

Some things that made my week-long test drive evenmore outstanding were dual zone auto temp control, key-less entry/smart key with push button start, navigationsystem with backup camera and a six speaker sound sys-tem with MP3 and USB auxilliary jacks. The cabin layoutis uncluttered and is very user friendly.

Whether you are looking for a front wheel drive or allwheel drive small SUV, the Kia Sportage should be addedto your shopping list.

University has opened its library, faculty andresearch facilities to Bryce Canyon employ-ees and the High Plateaus Institute. The HighPlateaus Institute is dedicated to preserving

and improving the park's natural and culturalresources, and a partnership with a local uni-versity allows the different groups to worktogether seamlessly on new initiatives thatimprove the parks and heighten the educa-tional experience.

In short, SUU is taking learningbeyond the classroom into the wild, and stu-dents and teachers alike are thriving underthe blue skies and sunshine. In fact, the ideaworked so well that this past spring SUUsigned another Alliance for Education withthe Zion Canyon group to formalize addi-tional relationships with public land entitiesZion National Park, Cedar Breaks NationalMonument and Pipe Springs NationalMonument.

Along with a growing number ofnational parks partnerships, SUU studentsare pursuing the popular Outdoor Recreationin Parks and Tourism degree. It focuses onoutdoor recreation, outdoor education andoutdoor tourism management, and a majorityof the students within the program get hands-on experience through an internship at one of

the national parks system on a final project. That may sound too good to be true, but it'snot at SUU. Given its close proximity to12 different national parks and monu-ments, Southern Utah University, inCedar City, is an oasis for outdoorenthusiasts.

Over the past fiveyears, Southern Utah University has pio-neered a new approach to education thatinvolves the outdoors. When it comes togeology, parks and tourism manage-ment, and disciplines as diverse asGeology to Creative Writing, campusofficials have acknowledged that stu-dents learn much more from doingsomething than they do through simplediscussion. Armed with such an ideal, in2006 the University sealed the deal onan alliance with Bryce Canyon NationalPark to establish a formal cooperativeworking relationship that would join thetwo institutions' programming andresources to the benefit of the school,the national parks system, and all thepeople who attend both.

Through this part-nership, SUU students and faculty gainaccess into Bryce Canyon and ZionNational Parks, where they work side-by-side with seasoned experts to explorethe very concepts they've already dis-cussed in class. Students become theexperts in a real-life classroom that fos-ters exploration and experimentationover repetition and memorization.

According toGayle Pollock, executive director ofBryce Canyon's Natural HistoryAssociation, "Bryce Canyon has a longhistory of working with SUU. We recog-nize SUU as the university with thegreatest scholarly assets in southernUtah." Pollock envisions Bryce Canyonas SUU's "eastern campus," with asteady stream of students and facultyutilizing the park for place-based learn-ing activities.

In exchange, Southern Utah

the region's land management agencies. The program has been verysuccessful in its short existence, and enrollment reached capacity inits first year.

Other SUU classes take a different route entirely, workingfrom the ground up. While many researchers come from around theworld to study southern Utah's geologic won-ders, SUU geology students and teachers havean outdoor laboratory at their fingertips any dayof the week. SUU will continue to expand part-nerships with other state and national parks andmonuments.

In addition to formal classes, theUniversity is home to an Outdoor Center thatoffers a wide variety of year-round plannedactivities, provides equipment rental, and spon-sors a ropes challenge course and an indoorclimbing wall that are both open to the public.The Center is concerned with outdoors safety,and has detailed information on any activityavailable in the many recreational areas sur-rounding campus.

Few places in the nation have such a widevariety of geological landscapes so close to oneanother. Seventy miles (and one beautifulcanyon drive) northeast of Cedar City, BryceCanyon's famous thin orange, pink and white "hoodoos" cut throughcrisp blue skies. The Bryce canyon area boasts some of the nation'sbest air quality, and visitors come from around the world to hikeamongst the vibrant rock spires of this vast basin.

Where one park ends, another begins, and although complete-

ly different, with multi-colored plateaus and successive steps ofwhite, gray, red-orange and chocolate brown cliffs, the GrandStaircase-Escalante National Monument showcases a 20 mile longridge of rock thrust up from the earth. The Escalante River curvesaround the base of the high plateaus, and has created a large

canyon that's surrounded by five differenttowns.

Just 10 minutes south of SUU, KolobCanyon is southern Utah's secret gem.Bordering the north rim of Zion NationalPark, the road through Kolob ascends 1,100feet in five miles and borders the 120 mileHurricane Fault. Although narrow, thiscanyon has much to offer with a very diverseplant and animal life, and small creeks andsprings that pepper the rocky valley floor.

Kolob Canyon backs Zion NationalPark, one of the region's most well knownrecreation areas. Zion is home to popularlandmarks such as the Subway, the Narrowsand the Great White Throne, and visitorscould easily spend a weekend hiking throughits winding canyons and up its toweringcliffs.

Amidst all these national parks, mon-uments, national forests and Wilderness areas surrounding CedarCity, are hundreds of additional opportunities for outdoor fun.With rock climbing, fishing, snowshoeing, mountain biking andcountless other activities just blocks from campus, Southern UtahUniversity is an outdoor enthusiast's dream.

2010 Chrysler 300CSRT8

maybe the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in - in any car - withfirst class leg room in both front and rear seats.Safety -

With all its power; stopping had to be top on its list of safety fea-tures. It has 14.2 inch Brembo brakes with four-piston calipers thatwill quickly bring all 4,000 plus pounds of the Chrysler 300C SRT8 toa halt. It also has an anti-spin differential rear axle, all speed tractioncontrol and full line of advanced airbags.

This car is at its best cruising 75 miles down the interstate withthe windows down, the stereo cranked up and the sunglasses on!

Having always like the look of the Chrysler 300 with its lowerstance & bigger wheels, I was stoked to find out that I was getting theSRT8 for a week-long test drive. SRT is Dodge and Chrysler’s answerto Mercedes-Benz’s AMG and BMW’s M divisions. The SRT standsfor “Street and Racing Technology”. They take a regular productioncar and increase the horsepower by about 50%. This 6.1 liter enginewill do 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. It will hit 109 mph in 1/4 mile,completing the mile in 13.2 seconds. The 300 SRT8 is fast enough tobring a smile to anyone’s face that has a need for speed when they sitbehind the wheel of a car.

The 5-speed automatic transmission is designed to hold each gearto its peak when you push the gas pedal to the floor. The SRT8’sungoverned top speed is 173 mph, beating the more expensive GermanAutos that stop at 155 mph.

This is an American-made muscle car with four doors and loadedwith luxury; leather heated seats, keyless Go & remote start system,rain-sensitive windshield wipers, power sunroof, dual zone temp con-trolled A/C with airfiltering system, 13 speaker sound system and

The Dodge Journey made its debut in the last half of 2009, givingChrysler a strong contestant in the already crowded midsizecrossover SUV market. The Journey has the lowest base sticker priceof any seven passenger SUV in the market.

It has also earned a couple of awards for safety. U.S. News givesit an “Excellent”rating and theinsurance indus-try has given it a“top safety pick”.

The insidemay be where youfind the Journey’sstrongest sellingpoints. It’s easy tosee the influenceof the minivan onits features such

as a flip & stow storage compartment under the front passenger seatand chill zone glovebox beverage cooler.

The model I test drove was SXT with Chrysler’s MyGIG hard-drive-based navigation and entertainment system. The MyGIG pack-age includes a parkview rear backup camera, 6 disc CD changer, anHDD/DVD player and 1-year Sirius Traffic service. The strong points ofthe Journey’s inside do not end there. A power sunroof, remote startsystem, 3 zone automatic AC/Heater, and built-in booster seats in the2nd row all help round out the top inside features.

In my opinion, the best reason to upgrade tothe SXT or R/T trim package is the larger, morepowerful engine. You jump from the 2.4 liter four-cylinder to a 3.5 liter V-6 engine that increasesboth horsepower and torque by about 35% whilehaving minimal decrease in fuel economy.

Overall, the 2010 Journey gets it right onseveral points. It is a very quiet ride (even at free-way speeds), it’s attractive to look at with itsrounded top and wide stance, a reasonableamount of room for all 7 passengers, low stickerprice with above average standard features.

The Dodge Journey is a great choice forthose who are not fond of the look of a minivanyet still have the need to move a lot of people andor cargo.

For students training to enter the cosmetology industry, two things are essen-tial to future success: hands-on experience and an understanding of how to run an inde-pendent cosmetology business. Capelli Institute of Hair's facility and programs aredesigned specifically to address these issues, giving its graduates an edge as they entertheir new careers.

Its 8,000-square-foot facility in Pleasant Grove has 48 styling stations and theschool only accepts up to 48 students at a time, so students don't have to share a sta-tion. At larger schools, students have to share stations, meaning more classroom timeand less hands-on experience. "The key is not in the classroom, the key is workingwith your clients every day practicing your craft," said Kurt Robinson, owners ofCapelli Institute of Hair.

As important as obtaining fine technical skills is gaining a working knowl-edge of business strategies and marketing. In Utah, most cosmetologists work as inde-pendent contractors, renting booth space at a salon and running their own small busi-ness. Capelli places emphasis on teaching students the "Business of the HairBusiness". The number one challenge that all stylists have is growing their clientele,and there are business strategies to do that," Robinson said. In addition to its cosme-tology program, Capelli offers barbering, nail tech and permanent makeup courses.

How Did a Beauty Supply Store Become the PreeminentHalloween Costume, Makeup & Accessory Store in Utah County?

Good question. In 1975, the first mall beauty supply store was opened at the UniversityMall in Orem by Rick Taylor. With beauty products filling floor displays, the store was sur-rounded overhead by a collection of movie-quality wigs, masks and décor. As Halloween grew(as well as the movie studios and theatersneed for costumes and makeup) so didthe selection.

Today, Taylor Maid Beauty Supplyboasts the largest Halloween costumerental, makeup and retail costume inven-tory in Utah Valley. With the main storelocated on Center Street in Provo, cou-pled with an entire back warehouse fullof rental costumes for any occasion,Halloween brings professional makeupartists to ply their trade in the salon tocreate amazing monsters, witches, gob-lins and gore.

With temporary Halloween storesin the University Mall, Pleasant Groveand American Fork, they will be, by far,the largest temporary Halloween store inthe valley, with well over two times the

inventory of the stores in 2006. One temporary store is located in the main corridor of theUniversity Mall north of the foodcourt. Another temporary store is at the Macey’s grocery com-plex on State Street in Pleasant Grove just a few doors down from Macey’s and the other is inAmerican Fork at 648 East State Road. Have a fantastic Halloween. See you soon!!!
