Max Starks does, too, but he doesn't have near the reason Haley – the deposed and humiliated former coach of the Chiefs – does.
"I know he's going to want this," Starks said. "And I personally want this game because I didn't have my best game against the Kansas City Chiefs last year. We narrowly won. I think I want to make it more convincing this year and have a better showing."
There's another reason: Starks was invited to Kansas City in August of 2011 for a tryout, but they sent him away without a contract. Haley, of course, was the coach at the time.
"It wasn't Haley," Starks said. "It was their doctors. Haley wanted me and he got mad.
"I had my neck surgery and the doctors were scared. They were the first people to work me out since my surgery. Haley was pissed. He told me later, 'I wanted you. That's why I had them call you. And then to watch you do as well as you did, I was pissed but happy at the same time because I felt you deserved the opportunity. But, I wish it would've been with my team.'"
Starks eventually signed with the Steelers a month into the season after Jonathan Scott bombed as the team's left tackle. Then-offensive coordinator Bruce Arians swallowed his pride and agreed that Starks probably should've been there from the start.
Starks has had his ups and downs with the Steelers, but even if the coaching staff turned its nose up at him, the front office hadn't. He was kept through two different franchise tags and stayed in Pittsburgh, married his Pittsburgh girl, and recently they just had their Pittsburgh child.
All went well last season, but Starks still had to go through some difficult moments wondering whether the Steelers would re-sign him this season.
It's not like finding left tackles is an easy thing to do.
What gives?
"It's the NFL," Starks said with a laugh. "I didn't think I was going to come back here this year and I'm back here again. It's truly a blessing and something that's awesome, but I don't take it for granted. I have no expectations about what should and shouldn't go on."
Ben Roethlisberger clearly thinks Starks should be getting more respect than he has been. Roethlisberger urged the Steelers to bring him back and Starks has re-paid them, and Roethlisberger, with perhaps the best half-season of his nine-year career.
Not only is Starks the key part of a line that's keeping Roethlisberger cleaner than he's ever been kept, he's part of a line that's not only opening up huge holes for its fast-improving running game, it's doing so with attitude.
"Their tenacity, you can't really describe it," said running back Jonathan Dwyer. "Willie (Colon) plays crazy, you know? You can't really describe it. Willie just plays crazy. And he plays with the tenacity of a pit bull. (Maurkice) Pouncey, he never gets tired. He just plays and plays and plays, and you see him running down the field. To me he's the best center in the league. You see it from Max, too. They feed off each other and you can tell by the way we play."
Starks used to irritate Arians because he wasn't a so-called "glass-eater," but Starks has become that guy through unintended peer pressure.
"If you're the one guy that's laying in the weeds you kind of stick out now," said Colon. "If you're not in the scrap or you're not fighting, you kind of get left out and you kind of get pointed out. It's a good thing because it means everybody's working and everybody's fighting for a yard."
"Oh, yeah," Starks said with another easy laugh. "I pride myself on being reserved, but you can't be reserved too long around those guys, especially on the field."
Starks agrees that the newfound aggressiveness across the front is helping a running game that's averaging 5.1 yards per carry the last three games.
"It really is," Starks said. "The run game is about attitude. At the end of the day it's about going out there and obviously we get to be proactive instead of reactive. It's about wanting to impose your will upon a defender. Usually guys yap a lot at the beginning of the game. Usually by the fourth quarter you really see who won."
Lately, that's been Max Starks.
NOTES – As expected, SS Troy Polamalu, WR Antonio Brown and LB Stevenson Sylvester missed Thursday's practice. RT Marcus Gilbert returned for the first time since injuring his ankle against Tennessee. He was limited, as was RB Rashard Mendenhall. RBs Dwyer and Chris Rainey were full participants.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial
Unbuilt Design Award Submission
We created the Eisenhower Peace Park as the site for the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, D.C. The entire project distills the essence of Eisenhowers legacy as General, as President and as a citizen of the world.
Our design vision was inspired by the front porch of Eisenhowers childhood home in Abilene, Kansas. An elevated and open structure represents the nations porch, a uniquely American space: a place for homecomings & farewells, a place of shelter, rest, and storytelling. The memorials civic porch fosters Eisenhowers virtues of openness, fairness and integrity. It provides a ceremonial setting in which to reflect on Eisenhowers life through a continuously engraved stone frieze.
This new paradigm for 21st Century memorials employs sustainability practices, such as reuse of collected site water and composted planting soils. Stone provides shelter while keeping the site cool in the summer and protected from winter winds. Light is diffused or amplified by shades, calibrated to each season.
The site, a block away from the National Mall and in view of the U.S. Capitol, was an ideal location for the Eisenhower Peace Park: a gathering place where visitors come together in new understanding and equality as citizens of the world.

I would check the center flow control knob on the valve to make sure it is open enough. Sometimes they can be turned closed from the factory without being noticed before being installed.
I recently replaced a valve because an old one was sticking open. I tried everything to fix it ( used another valves solenoid , rewired , new diaphragm , blown out....) with no success so i decided to replace the valve. Put the new valve in, wired the solenoid , nothing happened. Will not turn on with the manual setting on the timer , but i do have power to the solenoid. Turned the solenoid and little valve knob and Will not turn on. Water is on and the other 2 valves in same box are fine?
Please help!!!! Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
I would check the center flow control knob on the valve to make sure it is open enough. Sometimes they can be turned closed from the factory without being noticed before being installed.
IF the manual operator will not work, then there is a problem SOMEWHERE around the valve, but since we do not know whether you replaced the entire valve, or just the top of it, we cannot advise as to the cure. HOWEVER, if the old one did not operate manually, I would have done some more testing before doing ANY of the things you did.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
I have a similar problem. One zone was not shutting off - low pressure water was continually coming out the sprinkler heads. I replaced the guts to the Toro valve. The leaking stopped but then the valve would not open with the timer. I could manually operate the zone by opening the bleeder on top the valve. I replaced the solenoid and checked it is operating. I replaced the entire valve and it still would not operate. I even removed the solenoid plunger trying to simulate the solenoid always being open. It would not operate.
I gave up and called a technician. He claimed I had left out the diaphragm spring (not the solenoid plunger spring). I am 99.9% sure I had the spring in the valve, but the bottom line is the valve now works properly. I thought I understood the operation of the valve but I can't understand how a missing spring on top of the diaprahm would prevent the valve from opening. It would have less force on top to keep if closed and would be then more likely to open. Does the technican's explanation make sense? How could a misssing spring prevent the valve from opening?

High LDL cholesterol is a major factor in the development of coronary heart disease. Cholesterol is a fat like substance that builds up in the walls of your arteries when there is too much in your blood. In time this build up can lead to the hardening of the arteries which can slow the blood flow to the heart. High cholesterol can affect people of all ages, but has very few symptoms so many people are unaware their cholesterol is too high.
Each Beta Heart Bar contains 1.5g of oat beta glucans, a form of soluble fibre, which has been shown to reduce blood cholesterol*. Lowering blood cholesterol may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Travel Agents Improve Your Travel Experience
Professional travel agents actively seek ways to take the hassle out of travel. For example, they want to make sure that all of an airline's "hidden" fees are disclosed up front, no matter how you choose to purchase your travel. You are entitled to full and honest disclosure of all fees and charges associated with air travel before you purchase a ticket, whether you choose to purchase directly from an airline or from a travel agency. ASTA member travel agents are working to make sure that is available to you.
In fact, 2014 research shows that travelers that use an agent travel more and are more satisfied with their trip. The research also shows that over half of Millennial, Xer and Boomer leisure travelers who used travel agents believe that vacations planned with travel agents were better than those organized without their assistance.

I ordered this to sit next to my giant floor standing mirror for my bedroom and its beautiful. it really pulled the room together and its very comfortable! for the price its great and you must get it!
I owned this exact same ottoman and after it got stained I liked it so much I figured I would buy another one. When it arrived I realized they were not at all the same. This one had a very cheap and unattractive cotton covering that was already slightly stained. And the silver nailheads were unevenly placed. And it was very lightweight. I returned it.
Doesn't feel like luxiourious linen, feels like a cheaper cotton. It's still pretty for the price. Also, online you don't really notice there are seams all around the body of the ottomon. For the price, probably still a good deal.
A nice size, my daughter uses it in her bedroom near her mirror.
Love this ottoman. very well made - it's sturdy. it is light weight and moveable as well. I ordered beige but it is more of a light grey, which is what I wanted anyway.

"Everything about this card is great! The design to the picture...I did the shimmer white which came out amazing! The only problem I had was with the font I chose...it was hard to read because it was too light...I would go with the provided font Tiny Prints use in their example!"
"This card has such a classic look, but looks fresh at the same time. I love the subtle simplicity of the cross in the design. The turquoise color is very flattering with a color photo. Only wish the photo could be a little larger."
"We upgraded the quality of paper which was worth the extra cost. The invites were really divine and the quality of the photo was fantastic. Everyone who received the invite all commented on how beautiful it was. I was impressed at how quickly the delivery was especially as we're in Australia. We also bought Thank You stickers which are lovely and very affordable. I highly recommend Tiny Prints!"
"Very pretty card for our baby girls' baptism. Plenty of lines available to add the details for the reception, etc. I also loved that I could add a sweet picture of her onto the back of the card. My sister called as soon as she opened it from the mail and said how beautiful she thought it was. I am very happy with this purchase, a very simple and sweet invite."
"I was extremely excited when I received my baptism invites in the mail. The quality was amazing especially with the photo. And the color was true to the website. Will be ordering from here again."

Speed How To
If it were up to us, we wouldn't even have a speedometer in a Jeep. You don't need a speedometer off-road and many of our Jeeps feature a self-limited top speed that will keep us out of the sights of Johnny Law. Whether it is from chunked and out-of-balance tires, or gearing, or lack of power, we often find our comfort level on-road is somewhat slower than many posted speed limits.
That said, if your Jeep isn't a clapped-out pile and it does see on-road time, you should pay some attention to your speedometer. In carbureted rigs, an out-of-tune speedometer can get you in trouble with the aforementioned copper. In a fuel-injected-rig you've got that issue as well as possible issues that an out-of-whack speedometer might cause with your fuel injection. The fuel-injection system takes information from the same place your speedometer does to determine a slew of things that help the computer figure out if the Jeep is running right. Parameters such as the fuel map, shift points, and check engine lights are but a few of the items that might be impacted.
If that weren't enough, you are lying to yourself about your real mileage. Lifted and re-geared? You are putting fewer miles on your Jeep than you think. Lifted with bigger tires and stock gears? More miles than you think. This can affect your perception of everything from fuel economy to how often you do oil changes and more. It is simple, and in many cases cheap, to adjust your speedometer to read correctly. So follow along as we nail down the pertinent points of adjustment, no matter what Jeep you have.
Spicer 18 ('40-'71), Dana 20 ('62-'79), and Dana 300 ('80 only) (BW1305 and BW1339 '73-'79)
In the speedometer adjustment game, the further back you go, the harder it can be to find parts, and the harder it is to get to them for swapping. Spicer 18 and Dana 20 T-cases have a speedometer drive gear (A) and a driven gear (B), which is a light press fit on the output shaft (C). The Dana 300 was the bridge between the old and new styles of speedometer gearing. If you've got a short-output unit from a '80 Jeep, the gears can be hard to find, but most of the driven gears and speedometer drive gears that work with a Dana 20 or Spicer 18 will work. Herm The Overdrive Guy has both driven gears and drive gears and Quadratec has driven gears.
If you can't find the driven gear and drive gear that you want, Performance Automotive and Transmission Center (PATC) is a great resource. Not only does the company offer speedometer head calibration, but it offers these ratio adjusters that go in line with your speedometer cable and aren't that much more coin than a speedometer gear.
NP231 ('91 only) and NP242 ('91 only)
In 1991, things got weird again. Jeep switched over to the Bendix HO-style multiport fuel injection for the YJ and XJ/MJ. The Bendix system wanted to see some kind of VSS input. If it doesn't see it, the check engine light comes on and the zombie apocalypse is unleashed. The big housing with two wires coming out of it is your clue that zombies might be in your T-case. We've seen '92 Jeeps go both ways, so check before you go crazy figuring "Well Jp said I had a '92 so I could use this." This is kind of a bad news/ good news kind of thing. You can't use the electric doohickeys we talk about elsewhere in this article, but it isn't as weird as an '87 YJ with an NP207. You can use the same gears we talk about above for the earlier NP231 and NP242. Seen in the foreground are 32-tooth and 38-tooth gears we got from Quadratec.
Dana 300 ('81-'86), NP208 ('80-'87), NP219 ('80-'82), NP228 and NP229 ('80-'84), NP231 ('88-'90), and NP242 ('87-'90)
Finally we hit normalization. Starting in 1981 the tailshaft on the Dana 300 grew to eliminate the driven gear setup. The output shaft grew an inch or two and the "gear" was cut right into the output shaft. Some claim that made the shaft weaker, but we don't really know either way. What we do know is that if you have this aluminum elliptical speedometer gear holder, your life just got easier. Gears are widely available and there are many tooth counts to better fine-tune your speedometer's reading.

The original inductees were Las Vegas Sun publisher Hank Greenspun, a lawyer who wrote like one, but if you were going into a street fight in dark alley, you wanted ole Hank at your back. By far the best writer of the triumvirate was the Reno Gazette-Journal's Guy Richardson. God, I miss that little imp. He was excellent in every discipline, as an entertainment critic (his dustup with Frank Sinatra remains a Nevada legend), as a political commentator and what I consider his crowning glory, Poor Richardson's Almanac.
Ned Day was number three. I only met him once more than 30 years ago when my former boss, Bob Brown, introduced me to him as he was breaking in at the North Las Vegas Valley Times.
Bob died of a heart attack in 1982 and while he was much more an editorial writer than a columnist, it's basically the same dark art. So today, Bob Brown, former publisher of the Valley Times and editor of both the Carson City Nevada Appeal and Las Vegas Review-Journal, becomes number four. It's long overdue, boss.
The Review-Journal hired Day away from the Valley Times and he made waves like no one before or since. He had the guts to laugh in the face of the Mafia stooges running Las Vegas casinos at the time. He considered the firebombing of his car a compliment.
On vacation in Hawaii in 1987, Day suffered a massive heart attack while swimming.
He had sent his final column to the RJ with a chilling note foreshadowing his own death. He instructed the editor on what to do "in case I sleep with the fishes."
Now that's going out in style.
Which brings me to Saturday night when this Donkeyite ventured into the elephant's cave. By the time you read this, I may have been the only Democrat at the Washoe County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner. I was to be seated at a $1,000 VIP table with a prominent officeholder. I've known him for 40 years. He's a good guy and probably didn't know I was coming for the freebie or would have called in sick.
Bob Brown was a conservative Republican and would have felt right at home with all the Reagan stodgies. He would have enjoyed a few laughs at the affectations announced for this shindig. Western wear was recommended (get down and dirty with the commoners!) and they scheduled professional line dancing instruction after the festivities.
I planned to dress like a conventional Nevada lobbyist in an undertaker black suit. Conservative. Bob Brown would have approved.
Many of the folks running the local GOP are older than me and should remember 1982. Perhaps not.
The Saturday theme was "Reagan at the Ranch."
As songwriter Tom Lehrer once opined, satire died when war criminal Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Back during the double-dip recession of the early 1980's when St. Ronald the Vague was jellybeaning the White House, homeless camps popped up all over the country. Roving caravans of the dispossessed materialized and headed for DC to ensconce on public property near Ron and Nancy's place. One passed through Reno-Sparks. Each homeless bivouac was called a Reagan Ranch.
Tom Lehrer was right.
Gov. Brian Sandoval was on the agenda. I planned to reiterate in person my written invitation asking him to attend César Chávez Day IX. The celebration happens at Circus Circus on Thursday, March 31, what would have been the labor legend's 84th birthday.
Last year, Gov. Jim the Dim and staff forgot to declare Chávez Day, which is now required by law under a 2009 bill sponsored by Sen. Ruben Kihuen, D-Las Vegas, and a bipartisan bunch of fellow lawmakers. I called the guv's office and reminded them, as I did this year. Mr. Sandoval and Democratic Secretary of State Ross Miller have already signed and published it.
On March 31, doors at the Circus Circus Mandalay Ballroom open at 5:30, dinner is at 7 p.m. We will install several new faces into the Nevada Labor Hall of Fame, all of whom are still alive at last report. Go to NevadaLabor.com for news, ticket and sponsorship info.
The new legislative Latino caucus has been invited and most, if not all nine, will very probably attend. A large representation from César Chávez's immediate family is expected, as usual.
I'll let you know what the new guv said if they let me near him. Somebody please remember that I had no plans to go swimming.
Western wear will be cool, but there will be no dance instruction at the Chávez event — other than elegant moves by politicians in attendance.
Protest Fatigue
If there's a pill to cure it, BigPharma can make a killing these days. Busloads of college students are heading to Carson City on Monday. Tuesday in Carson and Wednesday in Reno, the anniversary of health care reform passage will be commemorated. Check the web version of this column at NevadaLabor.com for complete info.
Be well. Raise hell.

When Dwight Howard performed, it was usually in spectacular fashion. Thunderous dunks, shots blocked into the third row, rebounds snatched with one hand.
Magic center Nik Vucevic, his replacement, does his thing in Orlando subtlety. Quietly. Unassumingly.
You watch the game and look at the boxscore, and you're taken aback that Vucevic posted the kind of numbers most big men would envy.
In a the club's rout of the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, Vucevic had 16 points and 15 rebounds, posting his eighth double-double in a row.
Like Howard, you almost are at the point where you take Vucevic for granted. And Nik does it without that jaw-dropping highlights. He kills you softly.
"Nick makes it easy for you to take it for granted in the sense that in the first quarter, I basically played him 12 minutes straight," coach Jacque Vaughn said.
"That's just the trust that I have in him and the fact that he could guard Hibbert and when Hibbert leaves the floor I could stick him on David West.
"That's unbelievable conditioning by himself, the drive that he has, and tremendous amount of trust that I have in him….He's continuing to improve and I'm extremely proud of him."
Howard leads the league in rebounding at 12.6 per game, followed by Zach Randolph at 11.7. Vucevic is tied with Omer Asik for third at 11.1.
"He is a good ball player in the fact that he can step out and hit the 15- to 17-footer from the five spot," West said. "It creates a little bit of disadvantage for other fives. Obviously, the other thing is, I think he has a good knack for the game."

In the help file of the new RST it says:
This feature provides support for all pass-through solid-state drives (SSDs) in your storage system that meets the ATA-8 protocol requirements. Also, support is provided for SSDs that are part of a RAID 0 array. This feature optimizes write operations, helps reduce device wear, and maintains unused storage area on devices as large as possible."
However, I have read that it only works for Windows 8.
I have alos read that Windows 7 will not pass the TRIM command to the individual drives because the RST driver makes Wndows see the array as a SCSI device.
I noticed that with older versions of the RST driver, e.g.22.214.171.1246, Widows sees the aray as a disk drive, rather that a SCSI device.
Will upcoming RST drivers allow TRIM to operate properly on RAID0 arrays running Windows 7?
Thank you
I would like to know this as well. Could someone explain?
Thanks in advance.
I have alos read that Windows 7 will not pass the TRIM command to the individual drives because the RST driver makes Wndows see the array as a SCSI device.
Windows 7 will still pass TRIM and conversion to UNMAP is taken care of by Intel's driver however only non-member disks will receive TRIM, there is currently no support for arrays such as RAID0.
So, the quote I posted from the RST help is incorrect?
Trim for RAID0 has also been mentioned in earlier non-official drivers such as alpha 220.127.116.115 but of course it is not implemented. Being unofficial means no support from Intel to the content of such drivers so one should not rely too much on its correctness.
I see, so the documentation is false?

This response is nonsensical. The OP is quoting the help file which is embedded with the official RST 22.214.171.1246 WHQL release: Download Center
Since this is the latest official driver definitively stating in it's help file that it supports trim in RAID 0 arrays, I (and many many others) would like an answer as to whether the help file is correct (trim is supported in Raid 0) - or whether there is an error in the official help-file documentation.
Mark Madel, I assumed the OP was talking about 11.5 drivers as his original post is from May and 11.2 was AFAIK released in June.
I have not used 11.2 so can not comment on that particular driver.
You are correct, the quote was from the 11.5 RST.
However, I presume it is the same in the 11.2?
Regarless, TRIM support for RAID 0 is specifically referenced.
Other than the ATA-8 requirement, there are no prerequites mentioned, therefore I would believe the support would exist.
So, Windows 7 does or does not allow RAID 0 TRIM?
W7 sees the RAID0 as a single disk/volume and sends the TRIM command as it would with a single non-member disk. In the case of a non-member disk the TRIM ranges for the LBA's match the disk however for member disks of a RAID0 array the TRIM command needs to be regenerated by the driver to each corresponding physical disk of the array and their pertinent LBA's and this is were the problem is.
Interesting, as I had heard that the IRST would pass the TRIM command to individual drives in a RAID 0 array, but that it was the way Windows 7 handled the UNMAP command that caused the problem.
I am beginning to believe that neither Microsoft nor Intel actually know whether it works, or even if it can work, or not.
W7 does not support UNMAP only TRIM. As stated before, this is taken care of by 11.5 drivers by placing a filter driver on the storage driver stack to intercept TRIM commands and convert them to UNMAP. Whether such a mechanism exists in 11.2 drivers I don't know.
Right, and UNMAP is only for SCSI drives, which must be why the 11.5 RST causes Windows to see a RAID array as a SCSI device rather than a disk drive.
I woul;d like to update this thread.
Apparently TRIM for individual SSD in a RAID0 array does work.
The caveats are;
Intel RAID OROM 184.108.40.2064 must be in the motherboard BIOS.
Intel RST driver 11.5,0.1184 or 184.108.40.2067 must be used.
Windows 7 or Windows 8 must be used.
And finally, it only works on Z77 chipset motherboards.

LANCASHIRE head coach Peter Moores is confident his side can put their two group defeats by Essex behind them and gain revenge in Saturday's Friends Provident Trophy quarter-final.
Lightning suffered a five-wicket defeat at the hands of the Eagles at Old Trafford in the final Group D game today, following on from the six-wicket loss at Chelmsford earlier in the competition, and now face them in the last eight.
See the highlights plus an interview with Peter Moores tomorrow on www.Lancs.TV
However, Moores is confident Lancashire can book their place in the semi-finals.
"We know there are two or three areas where we can get better, little areas we know we can tweak which will make a difference for Saturday," said Moores, whose side was guaranteed top spot in the group before the game. "When that draw was made I was pleased because we want to have another go at them.
"There is a burning passion from everybody here for us to win that game and we will give it absolutely everything we have got and I am very confident we will win because we have a good side which is playing well."
Essex, passed their revised Duckworth/Lewis target of 207 from 46 overs with three balls to spare after a 124-run partnership by Alastair Cook, who was dropped by Paul Horton on seven, and Varun Chopra, both making 65.
However, with just four overs to go Lancashire looked to be in the driving seat with Essex still needing 36 and having lost four quick wickets.
But Matt Walker (35) and James Foster punished the Lightning bowling, with Kyle Hogg going for 16 off one over, and eased Essex home. Tom Smith was the pick of the Lancashire bowlers, taking 2-30 including the wicket of Cook, who was caught and bowled.
Earlier, Francois du Plessis (pictured) continued his recent good form with 51 as Lancashire made 214-7 from their 50 overs. He shared a half-century partnership with Mark Chilton as Lightning recovered from losing the early wickets of Smith and Ashwell Prince.
Du Plessis, later named Man of the Match, and Chilton moved the scores on to 125 when Chilton was trapped lbw by Danish Kaneria for 39. And, having brought up his half-century with a six off Chris Wright, du Plessis was out next ball, caught at point by Chopra.
Horton, having left the field for some treatment after being hit on the arm while on 18, returned to make 41 and help put on a quick-fire 37 with Luke Sutton before the opener's middle stump was sent flying by Graham Napier's final delivery with the score on 200.
Sutton, standing in as skipper for the injured Glen Chapple, finished unbeaten on 28 from 28 balls, while Hogg was caught at mid-on by Grant Flower off the last ball of the innings from David Masters.
Moores, meanwhile, is confident Chapple will have recovered from his calf strain to play on Saturday.

The Hyundai Elantra has always come up short to the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, but the margin narrowed with each new Elantra model. For 2011, Hyundai is right there; as with the Sonata, the Elantra may be the segment's benchmark.
The Elantra, slotting between the entry-level Accent and the larger Sonata, starts at $14,945, which gets you a GLS model with a six-speed manual transmission and quite a few features, including power windows and locks, a good sound system with satellite radio, and keyless entry. It does not, however, get you air conditioning, which is added on as part of a $1,250package that includes cruise control and larger tires and wheels. Add that and $750 in shipping, and the least expensive Elantra with air would list for $16,945. If you want the six-speed automatic transmission, add $1,000.
The good news about all Elantra: No matter what model you get, or which transmission, the EPA-rated mileage is the same – 29 mpg city driving, 40 mpg on the highway. That's on regular gas. This is expected to be a huge selling point for the Elantra -- after all, the new-for-2012 redesigned Volkswagen Beetle, with a diesel engine, is expected to be rated at 29/40 mpg, and diesel fuel is about 30 cents a gallon more than regular gas.
The test Elantra was the top-of-the-line Limited model, which had almost everything you'd want as standard, including air and automatic, plus a power sunroof, heated front and rear seats, alloy wheels and P215/45R-17 tires, and even leather upholstery. But don't get the Elantra's leather confused with the leather in, say, the Hyundai Genesis. It looks and feels like vinyl, but Hyundai says it's leather, so we'll take their word. Base price for the Limited was $19,980, and with only two options -- carpeted floor mats and a cable to connect your iPod to the stereo -- the price was $20,830, with shipping. A "Premium Package" would have added another $2,100 -- it has a navigation system, a rear-view camera, a more potent 360-watt stereo and push-button start. I didn't miss having any of that.
The Elantra is built at Hyundai's new assembly plant in Montgomery, Alabama, but only 34 percent of the parts for the car come from the U.S. -- the rest are still shipped in, mostly from Korea, including the engine. Likely that will change as Hyundai develops a network of parts suppliers closer to the factory. Build quality of the test Elantra appears to be on par with what we've seen from Korea the last few years, which means it's quite good.
On the road, the six-speed automatic hits a nice balance between maximizing the engine's 148horsepower, yet finding a gear as soon as it can that will lower engine speed, and raise fuel mileage. There's plenty of power for acceleration. The ride can be a little choppy -- wheelbase is 106.3 inches, but it feels shorter -- but the Elantra is fine even for long-distance driving. Handling is crisp, but not quite sporting, and the new electric-boosted power steering lacks any sort of feel -- there's work to be done there.
Front seats are fine, and there's room in the car for four six-foot passengers, and there's still a 14.8-cubic-foot trunk. In terms of packaging, the Elantra can't be faulted. Up front, instruments and controls are competently done and easy to figure out and operate. With the leather and the sunroof, the Elantra Limited doesn't look or feel like a cut-rate, all-you-can-afford alternative.
Plus, it doesn't hurt that it's downright handsome. Once again, Hyundai takes aim and hits the bulls-eye. Well done.
2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited
Base price: $19,980
Price as tested: $20,830
EPA rating: 29 miles per gallon city driving, 40 mpg highway
Engine: 1.8-liter, 148-horsepower four-cylinder
Transmission: Six-speed automatic
Length: 178.3 inches
Wheelbase: 106.3 inches
In a nutshell: Hyundai drives to the front of the compact segment.

WHAT'S IT COST? $122.09 (rear), $104.65 (front).
CONTACT? www.maxxis.com or your local dealer.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with Maxxis Radial SI tires.
(1) Installation. The Maxxis Radial's flexible sidewalls made these tires the easiest we've ever installed.
(2) Rear performance. The rear offered good traction in acceleration and under braking in light chop, but the rougher the terrain, the more the Maxxis Radial SI's bounced. Every MXA test rider chased tire pressures to maintain the absorbent feel, but lessen the tire's tendency to rebound off square-edged bumps.
(3) Front performance. Our first impression was that the Maxxis SI Radial front tire was flat. It squirmed around a lot when inflated to normal tire pressures. We kept increasing the pressure to get a secure feel in the corners, but stopped at 30 psi because the ride got very harsh.
(4) Overall performance. In all honesty, we aren't surprised by the lack of sidewall support on the radial tires. Whereas bias ply tires get extra sidewall support from their overlapping layer, the radials don't. Every motocross tire manufacturer has tried to build a radial motocross tire and none have come to market. They have all faced the some problems. Maxxis was at least brave enough to try. On very soft soil and in sand, the Maxxis Radial SIs might be in their element, but they don't like flat corners, square-edged bumps, big jumps or excessive lean angles. There is not enough sidewall support for cornering (when running air pressures that allow the tire to absorb bumps).
(5) Durability. As a rule, Maxxis tires offer great durability, but with the Radial SI's we were more concerned with the durability of our rims. Our front wheel took an especially bad beating.
(6) Weight. Radial tires should be lighter than bias ply tires because of the creative plies, but the effort to regain sidewall strength must have added some weight. The original SI front weighs 7.75 pounds and the rear weighs 13.15 pounds. The Radial SI front weighs 9.95 pounds and the rear weighs 13.6 pounds. The Radial SI front weighs over two pounds more than the standard SI.
We applaud Maxxis' effort to embrace new technology for motocross, but their Radial SI tires need more development.

Are your game's Fire Elementals a bit dim-witted? Are your Elves not as stealthy as they should be? Are your Formian Myrmarchs markedly unskilled? These are just a few of the monsters in the SRD that have errors in their stat blocks, bringing their mistakes into your game. But now Cooper's Compendium of Corrected Creatures fixes the problems you didn't even know your monsters had.
This critical new series of books by ENWorld staff reviewer and 3.5 rules guru John Cooper presents thoroughly revised and corrected stats for the myriad creatures in the v.3.5 SRD. Features of Cooper's Compendium of Corrected Creatures: OGL Monster Stats E – K (Eagle, Giant – Krenshar) include:
* Corrected stats for all the monsters in the E – K sections of the v.3.5 SRD that address often-overlooked elements like skill synergy bonuses, size modifiers, and shapechanging abilities.
* A full 28 stat blocks for OGL creatures described or referred to in the SRD but not given statistics there, five under the Elf entry, one each under the Gargoyle, Genie, Ghoul, Giant, and Gnome entries, two under the Halfling entry, and 16 under the Hydra entry.
* Improved organization of material, especially items not listed in the proper order.
* "Cooper's Comments" sidebars throughout explaining particular changes and giving guidance on how to effectively reflect them in the game.

What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
Most fascinating site: Palenque. Most surprising site: Tonina. Most lovely setting: Yaxchilan. Lovely colonial cities, hard to choose between Oaxaca or San Cristobal. Fantastic snorkelling at Caye Caulker. Sopa de lima (lime soup) at Valladolid. Great variation on this tripRead more

Huge enthousiasm. Great knowledge. Very good organisation talent. We had serious technical problems with one of the buses, but Ana managed perfectly and saved our trip. She's amazing.
What Tips Would You Give To Someone Else Booking This Tour
US dollars are perfect for Belize. ATM's are widely available in Mexico and Guatemala. Do the snorkeling on Caye Caulker. It is an extra expense, but fantastic. I did both a half day and a full day excursion (saw the manatees!) and was very happy I did them.
Do You Have Anything Else To Add
I would have rate the tour a 5 if we hadn't had the bus problems. Don't worry about safety. Take the normal precautions, but the places visited on this trip are as safe as any tourist destination.
What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
There were many highlights. The ancient sites were all different, but probably Teotihuacan, Monte Alban, Palenque, Tikal and Uxmal stood out; although others such as Yakchillan and Tonina were very atmospheric; the trip down the Sumidero gorge; the colonial towns of Oaxaca and San Cristobal were fascinating and the days on Caye Caulker were very relaxing.Read more

How Was Your Explore Tour Leader
Ana was outstanding. Her passion and knowledge of mesoamerican history were inspiring. She was organised, adaptable and efficient. She made sure all members of the group got what they needed and wanted from the trip. She also had a great sense of fun and a great sense of humour.
What Tips Would You Give To Someone Else Booking This Tour
Be prepared for early starts, probably the largest number of early starts we have had for a while. Mexico is a large country, so they are needed, also be prepared for a few very long days, although the scenery is stunning so helps pass the time, but the roads are narrow and twisty so little opportunity to stop and take photographs. Take an umbrella, if not for rain to keep the sun off - it is much cooler than a hat! Take US$ cash, ATMs can be temperemental (dint rely totally on them) and Travellers Cheques are hard to change (although no one on our trip carried any).
Do You Have Anything Else To Add
Only 4.5 and not 5 because of the few very long driving days and a couple of disappointing hotels.

What Was The Highlight Or Most Memorable Moment Of Your Tour
Fantastic archaeological sites - Teotihuacan, Palenque and Uxmal stood out particularly but also some of the less well known, and less excavated, sites like Yaxchilan and Tonina were very atmospheric. In addition, this was a very varied holiday - colonial towns, natural gorges, fantastic mountain scenery and Caye Caulker was very relaxing.
Tour Leader Name
How Was Your Explore Tour Leader
Excellent - very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Ana had a great sense of fun and was very entertaining, also extremely helpful, going out of her way to make sure that everyone got what they wanted out of the holiday.
What Tips Would You Give To Someone Else Booking This Tour
The more able you are to climb the pyramids, the more you will enjoy the archaeological sites. Keep your financial options open - not all ATMs in Mexico worked, and travellers cheques weren't accepted in Mexican banks.

Do You Have Anything Else To Add
The best Explore trip I have done!
What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
We visited Yaxchilan, a remote Mayan site only accessible by boat, towards the end of the afternoon. The site was deserted. The last party was just leaving as we arrived. The site is in the rainforest and not completely restored. The howler monkeys were very noisy and the spider monkeys leaping from tree to tree as the late afternoon sun backlit the fantastic roofcomb. It was an experience I will never forget.
How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Our Tour Leader, Ana, impressed us on our first day when she took us to see the Diego Rivera murals and could talk through the meaning of each section. Then when we went to the Anthropology Museum the same afternoon and she inspired us with her knowledge of the ancient civilisations we were hooked, even though we couldn't keep pace with the names of all the Gods!
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Go on this tour if you want to learn as much as possible about the ancient Mexican civilisations and to explore their fantastic cities, particularly if you are active enough to climb the pyramids and scramble over the ruins (where that is allowed). But also be prepared for other very different activities such as swimming in a freshwater lake and experiencing the best snorkelling ever on the barrier reef off Belize. This tour provides a wonderful combination of history, culture, wildlife and action.
Do you have anything else to add?
The Mexican people are delightful. We stayed in hotels where the staff could not have been more helpful and all our drivers were excellent. We also never felt less than totally safe.
What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
Our leader was a wonderful leader, full of interesting information, friendly and extremely capable
How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Be prepared for long days traveling, though it is worthwhile. If at all a little shaky - take walking poles, I wish I had. The pyramids are very steep without any support to climb and descend.
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
"I have already written a review, but forgot to say something which I think is important.
I got separated from the group, my own fault, but why do you ask for our mobile number, surely we should have our leader's number or at least the hotel we are staying at. I experienced a very distressing time but had I had my leader's number it would have saved me an unpleasant experience."
Where do I start ? Archaeological sites, local culture, beautiful landscapes, amazing wildlife (with the help of a field guide I, confidently, identified fifty eight bird species - only four of which I had seen before) - just a few of the things included on this amazingly varied trip. It's very difficult to pick a highlight but, if forced to do so, I would say that snorkelling with two manatees on a reef off Caye Caulker (Belize) would take the prize.
If you are thinking of doing this trip, don't miss the extension - it's well worth it. Ana was an extremely knowledgeable guide who accompanied us throughout the tour. She ensured that the interests of different members of the group were addressed and her flexible approach ensured that we missed nothing. Over two thousand photographs provide prompts to memories that will last forever. A wonderful trip which I would highly recommend. (MXY -23rd July 2011)

Cristiano Ronaldo
- Full Name: Cristiano Ronaldo
- Squad No: 7
- Position: Forward
- Age: 29
- Birth Date: Feb 5, 1985
- Birth Place: Madeira, Portugal
- Height: 6' 1" (1.85m)
- Weight: 75 kg
A much-vaunted prodigy when snapped up by Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, Ronaldo is now perhaps, alongside Lionel Messi and David Beckham, the best-known player on the planet.
The FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008 and a winger who plundered an unbelievable 42 goals across all competitions in 2007-08, Ronaldo won all there was to win with the Red Devils and finally earned his dream move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2009 for a world record fee of £80 million as part of the new era of galacticos at the Bernabeu.
After blossoming under Sir Alex Ferguson at United, he had the chance to come of age at the 2006 World Cup, though one of the memorable images of the tournament was his wink at the bench after Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney was sent off in a game against England. He also came in for fierce criticism for diving, which resulted in him being booed at games and it cost him the Young Player of the Tournament award.
Still, love him or loathe him, it is hard to ignore his talent and his skills are almost beyond comparison in the world game. That said, Ronaldo has wrongs to right after he failed to dazzle at the 2010 World Cup, despite being tipped to be the shining star in South Africa.
He remains, though, prolific as ever for his club Real, the Portuguese earning the Pichichi as La Liga's top scorer in 2010-11, in the same season helping his club to Copa del Rey glory. Indeed, his prolific nature in front of goal did not spot there, as during the 2011-12 season he scored 46 La Liga goals to help fire Real to the Spanish title.
Strengths: Ronaldo will take on any defender with searing pace, and mesmerising footwork to boot. His ability to beat a player and whip in crosses makes him a feared opponent. Add to that the way his free-kicks swerve with pace and power and this winger would be an asset to any team, past and present.
Weaknesses: On occasion, he goes to ground far too easily which attracts the ire of supporters and sometimes tries a trick when a simple pass would do.
Career high: Winning the Champions League with Manchester United in 2008, and subsequently being named FIFA's World Player of the Year.
Career low: Losing to Greece in the final of Euro 2004 on home turf. His tears were caught on camera for all to see.
Style: Fast, tricky, strong, a mesmeric dribbler.
Quotes: "I have nothing but praise for the boy. He is easily the best player in the world. He is better than Kaka and better than Messi. He is streets ahead of them all. His contribution as a goal threat is unbelievable. His stats are incredible. Strikes at goal, attempts on goal, raids into the penalty box, headers. It is all there. Absolutely astounding." Sir Alex Ferguson, July 2009.
Trivia: Cristiano's name Ronaldo came from his father's favourite actor, Ronald Reagan.

No. 92: Eastern Michigan
By Paul Myerberg // May 30, 2012
Just think of all the great lines that are no longer valid in everyday conversation – if you're talking about Eastern Michigan in everyday conversation, that is, and if you are, let's talk daily. No longer can you use this gem: Eastern Michigan can win 10 games, but only if you give the Eagles five years. No longer usable. Or this: Eastern Michigan hasn't finished above .500 in MAC play since two years before the league added Northern Illinois. Or even this one: The last time E.M.U. won six games, all the way back in 1995, George W. Bush was in his first term as the Governor of Texas. I guess I'll just throw these on the trash heap. Forget conference expansion, Florida State to the Big 12, New Mexico State to the F.C.S., Nebraska to the Big Ten and so on; the most amazing thing to happen in college football over the last 12 months was Eastern Michigan winning six games. And this fact won't stop being amazing until Ron English and E.M.U. do it again.

Katherine Schwarzenegger Praises "Normal" Upbringing in New Bookby Hilton Hater at .
You're likely familiar with the parents of Katherine Schwarzenegger.
But this is probably the first time you've heard of this 20-year old, which speaks to the new author's upbringing. Speaking to USA Today about Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and mother Maria Shriver, the USC junior said:
"They were very protective of having us in the public eye when we were younger. We didn't go to Hollywood premieres. We practiced community service. We went to school and camp like normal kids."
Despite this healthy childhood, Katherine has written a book - "Rock What You've Got: Secrets to Loving Your Inner and Outer Beauty From Someone Who's Been There and Back," out tomorrow - which details the struggles she faced as a fourth grader.
"It was the first time I was aware of my body and compared what I looked like to what other girls looked like. It freaked me out," she says. "I want to let girls know they are not alone with the changes and doubts about their body."
Schwarzenegger stands 5'8" and is a size 6.Katherine says she never had an eating disorder, but engaged in a "friendly competition" with a friend growing up and tried to remain below 100 pounds.
Along with working out and maintaining a healthy diet, of course, Schwarzenegger cites an open communication with one's parents when it comes to the issue of body image.
"My mom was always good with me. She always checked in with me. I had the best relationship with my mom. I still do. I talk to her four times a day.... I also have an amazing relationship with my dad. ... I talk to him about boys, about going out, about what I'm interested in, about business."
We hope all the parents out there are paying attention. Way to go, Governator!

Natuerlich kann auch Taylor Swi..... . Und Brooke..... bei den Filmen sich sehen lassen. Er ist zwar nicht mehr der Juengste, aber fuehlt sich noch jung. Er ist aelter als der aelteste Mensch der Welt. Weil er immer wieder neu auf die Welt gekommen ist. Wie alle auch. Ihr alle habt auch vor Millionen vor Jahren gelebt. Seid immer neu kombiniert auf die Welt gekommen. Katherine Schwarzenegger, auch wenn nicht unterschreibt, auch dann aendert sich nichts. Trotzdem auch sein Maedchen. Bodie Lotion bekommt trotzdem.

Gee get a grip people! Why all this judgment about whether she is a size six or not?
My mom is a size 8, my daughter is a size 4. Katherine absolutely looks like a size 6 to me. Yeah, she might be pear shaped, so what? That still doesn't mean she's lying about her size.
I think she's a gorgeous girl, and it seems she's intelligent and a good person too.
The people with body image issues are y'all who are judging her.
Well said Jim M!! And for some of the others...well...just my opinion, but who cares what 'size' she is?!?! The fact of the matter is that she has grown to become a healthy, level headed young woman, who has a wonderful relationship with her parents!! We could use more roll models like her for our children and grandchildren instead of Gaga, Lohan, Spears, etc.!!! Honestly! mom108...you focus on nothing but her size and shape. Is that how you would raise your own daughter?? It's sad to see where most minds instantly go...the size of the body. She also has a mind and appears to be using it quite well. She could be a plus size and it shouldn't matter!!! Out of an entire article about her life, most have focused on one sentence. How sad............
sorry to say this gal is not a size six..tell it like it is..she looks like a very nice young lady,but to try and do the size thing, like it matters to us strangers..(we have eyes) and are not dum dums, be the best that you can be, so maybe you need to drop a few pds..your mom needs to gain a few pds..so what..eat normal..excercise..do the best you can..so be happy young lady, learn..be nice an smart..do good for yourself an family..and maybe down the line some good for our country, its in your blood I am sure.. but just be healthy ok..best regards..grandma joan

Lakers' Dwight Howard to 'step away for a couple weeks' before contemplating free agency
Dwight Howard, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, dodged questions about his future with the Lakers after getting ejected from a season-ending loss to the Spurs on Sunday.
"I'm going to step away from everything for a couple weeks and clear my head before I do or talk about anything, as far as next season," Howard told reporters following the Lakers' 103-82 loss to the Spurs at the Staples Center. "I think I deserve that. That's what I'm going to do."
San Antonio swept L.A. in four games straight, ending a Lakers campaign that began with high hopes but ended with a 45-37 record, the Western Conference's No. 7 seed and the franchise's first first-round playoff exit since 2007. Howard departed Game 4 with seven points (on two-for-two shooting) and eight rebounds in 21 minutes.
Acquired by the Lakers from the Magic in a blockbuster trade last summer, Howard can re-sign with the franchise for up to five years. He could also leave the Lakers and sign a contract for up to four years with another team.
"I don't want to talk about anything that's for the upcoming season, next year," Howard said. "I just want to reflect on this year and try to get myself better, come back 100 percent."
Howard underwent back surgery in 2012 and dealt with a shoulder injury during the season. Despite the injuries, he averaged 17.1 points, a league-leading 12.4 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks while being selected to his seventh All-Star Game.
... and I thought this is about Dwight Howard coming out... just like Jason Collins.
dwight howard... another allen iverson....
Both he and the media create this ridiculous circus... The media for pushing the issue and for clown Howard not being truthful.. Dwight just say I will explore free agency and I will go wherever I feel I can be utilized best La lakers or otherwise, and leave it at that.
The Lakers should sign & trade him to the highest bidder. Ultimately, this team wouldn't have done any better with an injured Andrew Bynum, so the rebuilding process could begin by flipping Howard into young talent and draft picks.
Wherever he goes, he'll complain about it. Dwhining Howard.
who cares. spoiled child in a big mans body. unfortunately that is the demand nowadays. I blame the MEDIA for constantly putting this kid in the public eye.
dwight hasn't been himself since Orlando..his stock is way down...looks goofy in a Lakers uniform...always laughing and goofing around when the team is losing...
@d3 Dwight Howard plays a professional sport in a sports crazy country. He accepts offers from companies wishing to use him to sell their products. He uses the media to vent his frustrations, advance his professional agenda, and to force a trade. He uses the media to turn himself and his image into a brand. And this is the fault of the media? Good one.
