'Q: Having appeared in a career-high 54 games last season, what is your goal heading into training camp? A: Nothing. I'm not really one for setting goals. I just want to go out and play. As far as coming into camp, I just want to be in shape. For me that's not really a goal. It's more mandatory than anything else. I would like to be anywhere under 230 and nine percent body fat.'

Question and answer with Andrew Peters
An outdoor game in Buffalo? Can Kelly and McAdoo play, too?
'For what it's worth, the game will be opposite the Gator Bowl on CBS and Capital One Bowl on ABC, and will come just before the Rose Bowl. It will begin 13 hours into 2008, and I'm wondering if some of those hearty and fervent souls who packed and partied on the plaza outside HSBC Arena before playoff games last spring will have slept a wink in the New Year as they settle into their seats in the stadium.'
Sabres-Penguins in The Ralph a go
'Sources close to the Sabres claimed the Ice Bowl event was in jeopardy of being scrapped because financing construction and maintenance of an outdoor hockey rink was difficult, but a deal apparently came together this week.'
Penguins to play outdoors in Buffalo
'Moving the game outdoors has been in the works for some time. It's believed negotiations with the Bills and the NFL were the final step.'
Sources: Pens to play outdoors in Buffalo
'In a made-for-television event — the game will air nationally on NBC — the Penguins and Sabres will skate on an outdoor rink in front of what officials hope will be the largest audience to watch an NHL game in the United States.'
Ice Bowl Set For New Year's Day
'An official announcement is a couple of weeks away.'
Sabres will play outdoors on Jan. 1
'Various NHL sources have confirmed the Sabres have firmed up plans to play the Pittsburgh Penguins in Ralph Wilson Stadium at 1 p.m. Jan. 1. The long-discussed Ice Bowl will be televised by NBC.'
Interview with Tim Graham Buffalo News
'A slow start could be seriously damaging to the team's psyche. The players have to be wondering how good they're going to be without Daniel Briere and Chris Drury. They'll learn a lot about themselves in training camp, but I think any team that loses a mammoth part of its identity will remain fragile until it experiences consistent success. If they stumble out of the gate, then they better have their leadership situation settled. October might be as important of a month for Ryan Miller as April or May.'
Sabres to ring in 2008 outdoors
'It's all set. The Sabres are set to ring in 2008 at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Sources tell 7 Sports the NHL has just about finished off the planning for a New Year's Day outdoor game in Orchard Park between the Sabres and the Pittsburgh Penguins.'
Sabres Hold 6th Annual Street Hockey Fest
It's "game on" in the streets around HSBC Arena in downtown Buffalo. Street hockey is king for kids of all ages.
Best Seasons for a Goalie
After the four years from the mid-'70s come two Dominik Hasek seasons in the early '90s that happened in a rapidly expanding NHL. The league had added five teams over three seasons, and this depressed the average level of goaltending. Hasek's two MVP seasons came later, when the NHL was in between expansions and thus did not rank as highly on this list.
Sabres change start times
'The Buffalo Sabres announced changes in starting times for four of their home games in the coming season.'
Sabres sign prospect Weber
'The defenseman split his 2006-07 season between Windsor and Barrie in the Ontario League. He had six goals and 28 assists with 172 penalty minutes.'
$100 a shot buys Sabres seat security
'And the general public — those unwilling to put down a $100-per-seat deposit to land a spot on the season-ticket waiting list — may be shut out completely from the most popular games, including the four games with the Toronto Maple Leafs.'
Sabres sign 2nd-round draft pick, defenseman Weber to 3-year deal
'The Sabres second-round pick in the 2006 draft, Weber enjoyed a career junior year with six goals and 28 assists for 34 points split between Windsor and Barrie of the Ontario Hockey League last season. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, Weber also showed a rugged style in being issued 172 penalty minutes.'

Jochen Hecht returned. The power play did not. Not unless you mean the power play from recent seasons — it was back for sure as the Buffalo Sabres extended their drought with the man-advantage to 19 chances in a 2-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils before the largest crowd of the season, 12,633, at HSBC Arena on Friday night.
It's official o the power play from 2001-02 is back

Washington • Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., a luminary of the right and a role model for Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, said Thursday he's stepping down from his seat in January to head up the conservative Heritage Foundation.
DeMint's exit from the Senate was unexpected, though he leaves behind several newcomers, including the new Utah senator, who have joined with DeMint in clashing with Republican leaders and hold allegiance to the ideas he has pushed in recent years such as passing a balanced budget amendment and repealing the Affordable Care Act.
"Jim has been a source of inspiration for many of us who came to Washington to fight for our core conservative beliefs," Lee said Thursday. "He has shown that getting things done doesn't have to mean abandoning your principles."
Lee and DeMint have co-sponsored eight pieces of legislation during their time in the Senate together, and DeMint recruited Lee to form the Senate Tea Party Caucus along with Sens. Jerry Moran and Rand Paul.
After then-Sen. Bob Bennett's defeat at the GOP convention in 2010, DeMint helped Lee win his primary battle against Tim Bridgewater, spending more than $200,000 on polling and ads to bolster Lee's bid through DeMint's Senate Conservatives Fund.
"Round here," Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, famously told The New Republic in 2010, "people are already calling [Lee] Senator Junior DeMint."
In fact, the legacy of DeMint might be his ability to find and support new young conservatives that fit in his mold, Republicans who aren't afraid to go against party leaders and fight for issues without regard for consequence.
Lee who led a lonely protest against all of Obama's nominees earlier this year, joined occasionally by DeMint notes the Senate now has a small army of folks who can carry DeMint's issues forward: Paul, Texas' Ted Cruz, Arizona's Jeff Flake, Wisconsin's Ron Johnson, Pennsylvania's Pat Toomey and Florida's Marco Rubio.
"There are a lot of people now in the Senate who share a lot of Jim DeMint's political ideology," Lee said.
Lee isn't sure what's to come of the Senate Tea Party Caucus, which will be down to three members after DeMint's departure.
"There's not really a need for a formal structure around it," Lee said.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Electrical? Battery? Whaaa...Someone Please help!
I have a 2002 Ford Focus SE Wagon with approx. 81,000 miles on it to date.
3 years ago (in 2012) the blinkers went out. Then 2 of 3 back lights went out, so I've been hand signaling. (that sucks huge) Then the back left side window wouldn't roll up/down.
Within the last 2 months the Battery light started coming on more often. I'd have to turn things off to get the battery light to go off. I recently had the battery tested and load tested and all was fine. It's a 2 year old battery. I had the original battery from 2002 to 2013. (Amazing huh?) Now the Battery Light is on all the time.
The Radiator recently starting leaking too. Grrrr...
The local Ford Shop wants a lot of money JUST to do the diagnostics. I'm a 58yr Lady on a limited income, so I've got to figure out how to keep this car going. It's paid for and I can't afford a new car.
My back ground is in Home Remodeling (Retired Tool Belt Diva), now I work at a Crane Company. My Grand Father worked on Big Trucks back in the day and as a little girl, I used to assist him. I can fix some things but not all. I'm praying for some help on here.
Thanks, Suzi
|having major issues...need help...see below
|Kind of late for the original poster, but I just had the same issue of the battery light being on for no reason. My battery is only a year old, and the alternator is outputting 14.4v. The cause for my car was fuse 10 in the fuse box under the hood. It is for the battery sensor, diagnostic plug. The fuse was blown, put in a new one and the light went out. I wonder if it blew because my drivers side lock actuator went out and blew the fuse for that. It caused the dome light to dim a lot, and the others doors unlocked real slow. I need to get an actuator and replace it.
|Last time i saw numbers like that, my alternator was breathing its last. Then again, the low voltage at idle was accompanied by the requisite "moan" alt's tend to make when they die...
|Posted via FF MobileShucks..... well keep an eye on it, should charge enough to be OK as it`s at least maintaining battery voltage at idle with a load - not dropping below to indicate a draw on the battery at idle. And it charges fine once off idle to recharge the batt. from starting loads... Not tragic, just won`t recharge appreciably at idle...
So I installed a new battery today. Luckily my old one was still under the 2 year warranty so the new one was an even exchange and didn't cost me a cent out of pocket.
Brought it home, put it on the trickle charger (who knows how long it sat on the shelf at the store), let it fully charge, and then installed it on the car. With the car turned off battery voltage read 12.85v. Start car (engine warm, no lights or accessories on) and charging voltage is still under 13v at idle. Turned on lights and everything electrical I could turn on and charging voltage falls below 12.6v at idle.
Voltage quickly climbs to 13.5-13.6v with everything electrical ON at about 900-1000rpm. Same RPM with everything turned off yields about 14.6v
I guess this H.O. alternator I bought really does have to spin at a higher RPM before it does anything :(
|Posted via FF MobileOkay, after a drive to warm up I`m getting 14.5 volts at about 700 rpm, so the higher idle was due to not fully warm & output is OK at low rpm - no help, but a better reference than my false idle #`s.
|Posted via FF MobileProb should have run mine longer for a fully warm reference, but it ran recently so not really "cold". 6-700 isn`t unusual as a low idle speed, just didn`t know your "normal" in the past! In my case I can`t remember right now as I didn`t pay close attention (working OK, so you don`t check too close) Duratec normal & Zetec normal may be different anyways..... `fraid I`ll have to recheck my "normal" in a bit for a better reference, 700 does sound right for an automatic when in gear, 6-700 is my memory for "normal" in that case when fully warmed up.... Good output at idle is the whole point to alternators, as opposed to old time generators, interesting that you get a dramatic increase in output between 700 & 900. I`ll get back when I recheck idle after fully warm when driven.... maybe get out the voltmeter for another reference set of #`s.
One more thing...
I'm wondering if there are any unseen issues with the battery itself? I installed this battery new less than 12 months ago and to this day I have never had any issues with the battery itself, but due to the recent alternator failure I had this caused the battery to go completely dead on about 3-5 occasions.
I know this can be detrimental to any lead acid battery. The hot climate I live in probably makes matters worse. The battery still starts the car fine and accepts a slow charge from my WalMart charger. After charging it reads a good 12.68-12.8v although this could possibly just be a 'surface charge' reading???
Any ideas whether I should replace the battery? It was just a low cost replacement to begin with but I'd rather not buy another battery right now if I can help it.
One thing I remember is that my alternator failed a few years ago at around 40k miles while the car was still under factory warranty. Rather than fiddle with it myself I took the car to the dealer (considering that the warranty was still in effect). Before taking it to them I verified little or no charging output myself. They replaced the alternator- and ALSO the battery. Prior to that I never had any issues directly related to the battery but they replaced it anyway- I was only expecting them to replace the alt. This has me wondering if my present battery has some unseen fault and should be replaced.
Like I said, the car has always worked like this. I never had any low charging output issues at idle with the OEM alternator.
The missus has the same car as I do (SE wagon), only one year older, less factory options, and with quite higher mileage. Same Zetec engine however. Her's idles at around 700rpm after warm up also. I checked charging voltage on her car at idle yesterday (no lights or other electrical stuff on) and it produces a good 14.0-14.2v, at idle. Then I turned on everything I could possibly turn on- lights, heater blower, front and rear windshield wipers, rear defogger, interior vanity lights, radio, and the car still produced well over 13.2v at idle- still more than enough to charge the battery.
So I am left to conclude that the Bosch H.O. I put in my car won't really work unless I am driving at least 1000rpm, which is definitely on again, off again in city driving (NOT good for the battery). And with the amount of electrical load I put on my car, this is a problem :(

From one soldier to any and all who have served or are currently serving
Remember all of those that have given their lives so that you might remain free.
For a unique perspective, please read this essay. It was written by my best friends brother, Dr. John Pryor, one of the top trauma surgeons in the U.S. We lost John on Christmas day last year from a mortar round hitting his quarters in Mosul. He was, and is, a hero.
Thank you, to all of the heroes.
Again, to all the heroes
In honour of Alex & Ben. You did a great job out there guys and you will be forever missed
You will always be in our hearts
I fought along side the soldiers from the UK. They are true warriors mates
While I have never been a solider and never had to lay my life on the line for my belief in freedom and our way of life, I have the greatest respect and appreciation for those who have and continue to do so. Thanks for making our every day possible.
Here, here. To all the men & women serving, to those who have gone before - thank you.
Again, thanks to all serving and previously serving men and women of the armed services. Your dedication,service, and sacrifice is, and always will be, never forgotten. Words cannot describe what it means to this and other nations.
Thank you!!!

Sunrise Trailer Court, in the heart of Charlottesville, Virginia, was a mobile home park on its last legs. There were 16 units in a prime location, and developers were anxious to take it over, displace the elderly residents and redevelop the land.
Just as the residents were facing eviction, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville stepped in with a plan to redevelop without displacement. With the assistance of a $1,195,000 grant from AARP Foundation, supported by the John W. Kluge Foundation, Sunrise Trailer Court became Sunrise Park, a mixed-income, multi-generational community, complete with a community center and other gathering spaces to turn the area into a real neighborhood. The remaining residents of Sunrise Trailer Court were part of the new mix.
This video tells the story of how Sunrise Park came to be.
What's next? AARP Foundation has developed a resource guide (pdf, 21.2 MB) that, building on the lessons learned at Sunrise Park, offers tools and strategies enabling both organizations and individuals to transform mobile home parks into successful communities like Sunrise Park without displacing those who can least afford to be uprooted. And at a recent meeting hosted by the Foundation, executives from the top national nonprofit housing organizations came together to think collectively and collaboratively about solutions to the ongoing issue of inadequate housing, and how to create more affordable and sustainable housing for those most in need, particularly vulnerable seniors. Through such partnerships, more Sunrise Parks all around the nation may be just over the horizon, waiting to dawn.

Punish all for the actions of a few..
Ok this is something going on the next town over from me. While this doesn't affect me, as I'm 32 years old, I have some older friends with teenagers and I have some problems with the way this is being handled.
First to explain. The city has created a curfew from 8pm to 5am year round for kids under the age of 18 in a large part of the city. This is due to a public event called "Rocking on the River" which is live bands and is free to participate in. The event is outdoors, and is highly geared towards drinking and food. The "exclusion zone" is a large area, which includes homes not just the event area. If a kid under 18 is found without parent supervision, he/she will be taken to the police station, detained and the parent will pay a $50.00 fine. The youth may not drive through this exclusion area, they must drive around it (even on days this public event is not going on), and this was recently confirmed from a parent whose children were pulled over due to driving home from the mall.
Now the reasoning behind this curfew is a little sketchy. The police are saying it's due to out of city kids from Akron, the neighboring city of Cuyahoga Falls, creating "havoc", drug deals, violence. However the Mayor (I will not capitalize his name) "don robart" has said something completely off base when a meeting was going on regarding whether or not to create this curfew. Here is the mayors quote, pay very close attention to the first 5 or 6 words.
Personally, people who look different don't scare me, as I'm not a fucking bigot.
This is a video of the quote and police talking about it in their terms.(it is dated, the curfew has been permanently enacted since this was posted) This should make it more clear...
Now, here's my view on it. This is a huge event every Friday from 5-11pm in the summer. We're talking around 30,000 people on a good day. Every Friday I see drunken adults slugging it out, beer being spilled on people, people puking and pissing in corners, and people on the roads so fucking drunk they are all over the double yellow lines. So bad in fact, I quit riding my motorcycle down there due to a couple close calls. Apparently though, to the Mayor this is about "people who look different may be trouble", and to the police it is about out-of-town inner-city gangs causing trouble.
So, why not ban the drinking if its causing problems as well? Why are "goths" being brought into this when the real problem (they say anyways) is out of town inner-city gangs? If it's really people from Akron causing trouble, why not limit the event to only residents of Cuyahoga Falls? This whole thing reeks in my opinion, and I just wanted to hear some others opinions on this.
100 a 150 a year here in aussie, driving in the mines Snowolf...
Obviously it's a pile of bullshit because they're using the police force to bully innocent kids - when that police force should be used at the actual location of the event to keep things from getting out of hand. Fact of the matter is, whitebread-bible-belters love to blame everything on anyone who's different. It allows them to legitimize their bad behavior and spread hate and discrimination. It's no different from how they persecute people they (personally) hate in the name of "God".
Simpletons hate anything new or different because it causes them to have to reevaluate their world-view. If you refuse to think for yourself, doing that is hard, and therefor it is much easier to just hide in your little square box and deny anything that makes you question yourself.
What pisses me off the most is that the Mayor can say that about people in "gothic garb" as he says, however if this comment was made about African-Americans, Mexicans, or any other people, ACLU would be up that mayors ass in a heartbeat. I personally grew up in Cuyahoga Falls (or as it's commonly known, Caucasian Falls) but was lucky enough to have a good upbringing and not the 50's and 60's bullshit mentality.
You mentioned football practice. It's sadly funny but the area that is included in the "exclusion zone" also includes the area very close to the football stadium for the high school, and a public aquatic center that has teen dances that last until after 10pm. Like I said, it fucking reeks and I'm glad I don't have to pay city taxes to their fucked up leaders. I didn't mention but the kids under 18 are allowed in the area with adult supervision at all times, if they need to go get food adults must be with them, if they walk down to the bathrooms, adults must follow them and wait....Which is even more stupid considering the kids parents are probably drinking at the event and driving the kids home.
Those weird-ass goth kids were some of the nicest people I knew in High School. It was the dicks with polo shirts and popped collars you had to watch out for.
While I personally find this policy abhorrable, its certainly a private communities right and perogative to set a curfew. I see it no different from a parent choosing to raise his child under given dogma (atheist, agnostic, monotheism, pantheism, whatever) only it's for a city.
I sure know I'd voice my opinion and move the hell out of such a shithole. No offense. If the common view of my fellow townsfolk is one of bigotry (particularly the elected mayor), it's not a town I belong in. Let the bigots be bigots as is their right but I shan't be counted among them.
1- I agree that it's a crappy idea.
2- I like "abhorrable". Is that a combi of abhorrent and deplorable?
3- Can't agree on the simile. Public officials and government bodies have far more restrictions on them than individuals. Try passing an ordinance requiring people to say grace before eating in a public place, then stand back! :laugh: Don't know how things run in the US on this subject, but in Canada this kind of law would be challenged on a Human Rights basis -- and successfully, I'm pretty sure.
In this vein, public officials and governemnt bodies (of The States) have the same rights as the individual. The Constitution specifically says they do.
I can't take credit for "abhorrable". It's from another messageboard. It's like terribad, only terribad is abhorrable and abhorrable is awesome.
I just don't get it I guess, the mayor making a comment of "what we are trying to rid ourselves of..." and people not being outraged. Shame on these people, but half the country is this anyways

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
This is the second issue of my super awesome zine. I like to start with a little editorial type summary of how I'm feeling about my life at the time of writing. Then there's proper writing about how sometimes being a vegetarian makes me feel like a hypocrite, and looking at representations of women in films and finding unsatisfactory role models. There's also drawings, cut and paste silly bits, and other stuff.

The Michelin FAQ provides answers to many commonly asked questions about our company and our tires
Winter tires are not assigned tread wear ratings, wet traction or temperature ratings.
Winter tires are designed for cold weather use only. Usually when average daily temperatures are consistently approach freezing. While the tire operates just fine in warmer conditions, it will wear out very quickly.
Therefore, the life of the tread is impacted by the amount of driving performed in warmer conditions since the rubber compounds that give this tire winter grip are not designed to withstand non-winter conditions over the long-term. In short, winter tires used in the summer wear out very rapidly.
Please remember, Plus Sizing must be taken with proper care. When replacing tires with optional size designations, be sure to check vehicle manufacturer's recommendations (found in owner's manual or on door sticker). Interchangeability is not always possible because of difference in load ratings, tire dimensions, wheel well clearance and rim size.
Contact a participating tire retailer that is trained to assist you with plus sizing.
The rim width range is extremely important. This range represents proper rim widths that will assist the tire/wheel assembly in meeting its performance potential. To achieve the best balance between ride, handling and tread wear, select a rim width in the middle of the manufacturer's range.
To improve cornering traction and steering response, choose a rim at or near the maximum recommended width. The wider the rim width, the straighter the sidewall and the quicker the steering response. Conversely, using a rim width at the low end of the range will cause the tire to balloon or curve out, slowing steering response.
Refer to our website for tire specifications.
The side of a tire contains information needed for your safety and that of your customer. Being able to read sidewall markings will help you better understand the performance of each tire. It will also provide you with information when mounting and servicing the tire.
Passenger Tire Sizing
Three primary sizing systems exist for passenger tires today: P-Metric, European Metric and Millimetric. Each of these systems evolved from the first tire sizing system-the Numeric Sizing system-that is now obsolete. It was developed when all tires had the same aspect ratio, and it provided only the nominal cross section width of the tire and the rim diameter in inches. The following are examples that identify the three sizing systems that are commonly seen today.
The P-Metric sizing system was developed to better align with the European tire sizing system. It provides a better description of the tire size. See examples below.
|Passenger Car Tire
|Section width in Millimetres
|Aspect Ratio
|Radial Construction
|Rim Diameter in Inches
|Service Description (Load Index and Speed Rating)
European Metric
Essentially, this system was a conversion of the Numeric system from inches to millimeters. Aspect ratio appears in the size designation in most cases where it is other than 82.

Light Truck Tire Sizing
Sizing for light truck tires takes the performance requirements of the vehicle, and the tires, into account. Light truck tires have evolved along with the expanded applications of trucks and vans that have grown to be multi-purpose vehicles that we use for work, for recreation or as passenger vehicles. There are three primary light truck tire sizing systems: Light Truck Metric, Light Truck High Floatation and Light Truck Numeric.
Light Truck Metric
This sizing system mirrors the P-Metric system for passenger tires.
|Light Truck Designation
|Section width in Millimetres
|Aspect Ratio
|Radial Construction
|Rim Diameter in Inches

Light Truck High Flotation
Light truck high flotation tires have evolved as lower aspect ratio tires became more popular on light trucks. The combination of lower aspect ratios and high flotation yielded better traction on sand and soft soil found in off-road situations.

DOT signifies that the tire complies with the United States Department of Transportation tire safety standards, and is approved for highway use.
The first two digits following DOT designate the tire's manufacturer and plant code. The third and fourth characters denote the tire size. The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth (optional) characters identify the brand and other significant characteristics of the tire. The ninth and tenth characters denote the week the tire was produced. The final number(s) signifies the year in which the tire was manufactured.
For Michelin brand tires, DOT markings related to the week and year of production will have an additional symbol for the decade of the 1990s. It will be shown as a triangle following these last three numbers.
|This would designate the 6th week of 1995.
Beginning in year 2000, an additional digit was added to the serial number to allow the year of production to have two digits.
|This ninth & tenth digits still indicate the week of manufacture while 00 indicates year 2000.
If no instructions for tire mixing appear in the vehicle owner's manual, adhere to the following guidelines:
Tires with directional tread patterns must be mounted so that the primary direction of rotation matches the directional arrows on the tire sidewall. If all four tires are the same size, directional tires can be rotated front to back.
Tires with tread patterns that are both asymmetric and directional require left and right specific tires. Sidewall markings will identify the side of the vehicle and the primary direction of rotation for the tire. If all four tires are the same size, they can be rotated front to back.
P-metric sized tires are those with the "P" at the beginning of the tire size (such as P215/65R16). P-metric sizes were introduced in the United States in the late 70s and are installed on vehicles primarily used to carry passengers including cars, station wagons, sport utility vehicles and even light duty pickup trucks. Their load capacity is based on an engineering formula which takes into account their physical size (the volume of space for air inside the tire) and the amount of air pressure (how tightly the air molecules are compressed). Since all P-metric sizes are all based on the formula for load, vehicle manufacturers can design their new vehicles (weights and wheelwell dimensions) around either existing or new tire sizes.
Metric or Euro metric sized tires are the ones without the "P" at the beginning, (such as 215/65R16). Using metric dimensions to reflect a tire's width actually began in Europe in the late 60s. However, since Euro metric sizes have been added over time based on the load and dimensional requirements of new vehicles, the tire manufacturers designed many new tire sizes and load capacities around the needs of new vehicles. Not quite as uniform as creating sizes using a formula, but they got the job done.
Euro metric and P-metric tires in the same size (i.e. P215/65R16 and 215/65R16) are equivalent in their dimensions with just slight differences in their load capacity calculations and inflation pressure tables.
The speed rating of a tire indicates the speed category (or range of speeds) at which the tire can carry a load under specified service conditions. The speed rating system used today was developed in Europe in response to the need to categorize tires into standardized speeds. A letter from A to Z symbolizes a tire's certified speed rating, ranging from 5km/h (3 mph) to above 300 km/h (186 mph).
|Speed Symbol
|Speed (km/h)
|Above 300
|Speed Symbol
|Speed (mph)
|Above 186

Our strategy is to manufacture tires in the country where they will be sold whenever possible. In fact, the vast majority of our products sold in North America, are built in the 21 plants we have across the United States, Canada and Mexico, employing most of the 23,000 employees of Michelin North America, Inc. However, we are an international company, with manufacturing operations at 74 plants across 19 countries around the world. To meet the needs of our customers by providing more specialized tire lines in smaller quantities, we import some tire lines into North America and we export others from North America.
Please be assured that no matter where your tires are manufactured, they are built to the standards that have made our products the benchmark for the industry.
Avoid the use of petroleum based tire cleaning products as they can exhaust the tire's oxidation and weathering agents within the rubber compounds, resulting in cracking.
Use only non-petroleum based products or plain soap and water for tire cleaning.

Each tire has a required Department of Transportation (DOT) number imprinted on at least one of its sidewalls. That number begins with the letters "DOT" and may contain up to 12 additional numbers and letters.
The first and last digits are the most important:
Although bar code label removal is not necessary for the safe and efficient use of the tire, it may be necessary to remove the label for aesthetic reasons. The 16mm by 40mm bar code label on the lower sidewall may be difficult to remove from some tires. Please advise your tire dealer that label removal may be facilitated by applying with a cotton swab a small amount of paint thinner (mineral spirits) to the label on a MOUNTED INFLATED tire. Then, carefully pry under the center of the label with a flat-bladed screw driver to remove it. Your dealer will do this slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the tire. After the label has been removed by this procedure, the tire should be carefully inspected.
We are currently perfecting a more readily removable bar code label. In the meantime, the above procedure provides an effective method of removing the occasional "stubborn" bar code label from the tires when necessary.
Properly maintained tires can help give you a more comfortable ride and a longer tread life. So:

A limited mileage warranty applies to tires that came as original equipment beginning with the model year 2011 and later.
However, any tire wear concern should always be presented to your local authorized dealers for further evaluation.
Many of our authorized retailers offer specific mileage warranties on several lines of tires sold as replacement tires, including some tires that are used as original equipment. These mileage warranties are administered based on the retail outlets verification of proper tire maintenance having been performed.
Many factors can affect the tread life of your tires, such as:
That's why exact mileage is impossible to predict. Take special care when braking, accelerating, cornering, etc., to help increase the life of the tire. (Owning tires with Michelin's technology doesn't hurt either.) If you have concerns about the rate of wear on your tires, consult your local authorized Michelin retailer.
Tires should be stored in a cool place away from direct sunlight, sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes and electric generators. Exposure to these elements during prolonged periods of time will exhaust the tire's oxidation and weathering agents within the rubber compounds and result in cracking. Be sure that surfaces on which tires are stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline or other substances that could deteriorate the rubber.
For mounted tires inflate at, but no higher than, the recommended air pressure. Store vehicle on blocks to remove load from the tires.
When installing a different size than the original equipment tire, all vehicle manufacturer specifications must be maintained. The replacement tire should be inflated to provide the same load capability of the original tire size at the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
Please contact one of our Consumer Care agents to determine the correct pressure for the optional tire size that you are installing or visit your local tire retailer for assistance.
The vehicle manufacturer selects the size and type of tires for their vehicles. They perform the necessary testing to establish the vehicles' optimized operating tire inflation pressures which can be found on the vehicle placard (located on the inside of the driver's door) and in the vehicle owners' manual.
If the tires on your vehicle are the same size as the original equipment tire, inflate them to the pressures indicated on the placard.
If the size of the tires is different than the size indicated on the placard, please contact us via phone or email for a pressure recommendation. We will need the following information from the tire and wheel placard:
Lower inflation pressures for improved flotation are permitted ONLY if the tire maintains adequate load-carrying capacity at the lower pressure. 20 psi is the minimum recommended pressure for a passenger or light truck tire. Pressures lower than 20 psi may be used off the road when speeds are less than 15 MPH and when the tire has adequate load-carrying capacity at the lower pressure.
The best recommendation for highway use is to follow the inflation pressure specified by the vehicle manufacturer which can be found in the owner's manual or on the sticker on the inside of the driver's door.
When installing a different size than the original equipment tire, the replacement tire should be inflated to provide the same load capability of the original tire size at the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
Nitrogen is an inert gas. It is simply dry air with the oxygen removed (air contains nearly 79% Nitrogen). The physical properties of nitrogen reduce the pressure loss due to the natural permeability of the materials of the tire. Unfortunately, there are other possible sources of leaks (tire/rim interface, valve, valve/rim interface and the wheel) which prevent the guarantee of pressure maintenance for individuals using air or nitrogen inflation. Tires manufactured by Michelin are designed to deliver their expected performance when inflated with air or nitrogen, as long as, the user respects the pressures recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle's placard or by the tire manufacturer. Whether they are inflated with air or nitrogen, regular pressure maintenance remains critical because under-inflated tires lead to:
In addition to performing regular maintenance, you must also keep an eye out for potential problems that might affect your tires. Regular inspections can help you prevent tire trouble, and keep you rolling safely down the road.
When inspecting your tires, look for:
Uneven tread wear : This can include more wear on one tread edge than the other, a rippled pattern of high and low wear, or exposed steel wire. Uneven wear can be caused by problems such as underinflation, misalignment and improper balancing.
Shallow tread : Bald tires tend to skid and slide on the pavement, and are more likely to be damaged by potholes and other road hazards. The tread on your tire should be at least 2/32 of an inch deep. If it isn't, the tire must be replaced. To help you see tread problems, tires have built-in "tread wear indicators." These are narrow bars of smooth rubber that run across the tread: When the tread is even with the bars, it is worn down to the minimum level and must be replaced immediately.
You can also perform a simple test using a US penny. Put the edge of the coin into the tread, with Lincoln going in head first. If the top of Lincoln's head is covered by tread, that's good. If the top of his head is entirely visible, it's time to replace the tire.
Troublemakers : Check for small stones, pieces of glass, bits of metal and other foreign objects that might be wedged into the tread, and carefully pick them out. They can cause serious problems if they are pushed farther into your tire as you drive.
Damaged areas : Cracks, cuts, splits, punctures, holes and bulges in the tread or on the sides of the tire can indicate serious problems, and the tire may need to be replaced.
Slow leaks. Tires lose some air pressure (about 2 psi) over the course of a month or so, but if you find that you have to add air every few days, have the tire, wheel and valve checked—and if necessary, repair or replace the tire.
Valve caps : Those little caps on your tire's valve stem keep moisture and dirt out, so make sure they are on all your tires. Also, when you have a tire replaced, have a new valve stem assembly installed at the same time.
Driving on a damaged tire can be dangerous. If you see something you're not sure about during your inspection, have it examined by your tire dealer. Any time you see damage to a tire, don't drive on it—use a spare if you need to go somewhere. And finally, pay attention to the "feel" of your tires as you drive. A rough ride may indicate tire damage or excessive wear. If you notice vibrations or other disturbances while driving, and/or you suspect possible damage to your tire or vehicle, immediately reduce speed, drive with caution until you can safely pull off the road and stop, and inspect your tires. If a tire is damaged, deflate it and replace it with your spare. If you do not see any tire damage and cannot identify the source of the vibration, take the vehicle to a tire dealer for a thorough inspection.
While most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years, it is recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more from the date of manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a simple precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have not reached the legal wear limit.
For tires that were on an original equipment vehicle (i.e., acquired by the consumer on a new vehicle), follow the vehicle manufacturer's tire replacement recommendations, when specified (but not to exceed 10 years).
The date when a tire was manufactured is located on the sidewall of each tire. Consumers should locate the Department of Transportation or DOT code on the tire which begins with DOT and ends with the week and year of manufacture. For example, a DOT code ending with "2204" indicates a tire made in the 22nd week (May) of 2004.
Worn tires should be replaced by trained personnel when 2/32nds of an inch of tread depth remains, as indicated by tread wear indicators molded into the tread grooves. Use of worn out tires [less than 2/32nds inch (1.6 mm) remaining of tire tread depth] increases the probability of tire failure, and in wet conditions can cause the tire to lose traction suddenly. In most states, it is illegal to drive with less than 2/32nds of an inch of remaining tread depth.
Michelin recommends replacing all four tires at the same time, however if replacing only two new tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size & tire type as the current tires and that the dealer always installs the new tires on the rear axle of the vehicle. Click here for more information
It will help reduce the potential for the vehicle to oversteer and lose stability in wet conditions
The tire size and tread design that was originally equipped on your vehicle may be used on other vehicles, some of which being heavier than others, therefore requiring higher air pressure for additional load carrying capacity.
The maximum pressure on the sidewall of the tire is the maximum pressure for the tire. The manufacturer of the vehicle has determined the appropriate air pressure for the application based on vehicle weight, to provide the best ride, tread wear, performance, etc. For applications such as towing, pulling, hauling, etc., air pressure should be increased accordingly.
For best all-around performance, the same type tire should be used on all four-wheel positions. Tires of different size designations, constructions, and stages of wear may affect vehicle handling and stability. NOTE: Some vehicles are intentionally fitted with different size tires on front and rear.
For four-wheel drive vehicles, if no instructions for tire mixing appear in the vehicle owner's manual, adhere to the following guidelines:
All new MICHELIN® tires purchased after March 1, 2011, are backed by the Michelin Promise Plan™, which includes a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee, Flat Tire Changing Assistance and a Limited Mileage Warranty. Take the tire to your local authorized Michelin® dealer and have them properly inspect the tire. Tell the dealer what you are experiencing so they can diagnose the problem.

It will help reduce the potential for the vehicle to fishtail and lose stability in wet conditions
There may be a circumstance where air loss can be covered by warranty, however, this can only be determined when inspected by a tire professional an a Michelin authorized dealer.
Some common causes of sudden or slow air loss that are not covered by warranty are:
Road hazard injuries (punctures, cuts, impact damage to the liner, ply material or sidewall rubber).
Valve stem or core air loss form damage, loose or aged rubber stem.
Air loss from the bead seating area (corrosive buildup on the wheels which prevents a proper seal between the wheel flange and the tire beads, bead seating area damage from accidental mounting or dismounting, foreign material between the rim flange area and the tire bead seating area, bent rim flange).
Our passenger and light truck tires, used in the normal service on the vehicle on which they were originally fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recommendations and safety warnings contained in the Passenger and Light Truck Limited Warranty are covered by this warranty against defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original usable tread, or six years from date of purchase, whichever comes first. At this time, all warranties, expressed or implied, expire. Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions described below.
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition covered by this workmanship and materials limited warranty will be replaced with a comparable new tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an inch or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or less, whichever is more beneficial to the user) and within 12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting and balancing of the tire is included. You pay the cost of any other service charges and applicable taxes. When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread has been worn (or 25% or less, whichever is more beneficial to the user) and after 12 months from the date of purchase, you must pay the cost of a comparable new replacement tire on a pro rata basis. The retailer will determine the charge by multiplying the percentage of the original usable tread worn, by the current selling price at the adjustment location or the price in the current base price List. You pay the cost of mounting, balancing and any other service charges and applicable taxes.
When the purchase receipt is not available, the 6 year warranty period commences with the DOT date found on the sidewall of each tire.
This warranty does not cover tires which become unserviceable due to road hazard injury, such as a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, puncture or other damages such as improper maintenance, rapid or uneven wear caused by mechanical irregularity in the vehicle, accident, fire, tire alteration, etc
A free catalog of Michelin merchandise and apparel can be obtained by calling (800) 677-3322.
Our warranty covers defects in workmanship and material for the life of the tread or 6 years, whichever comes first. We do not cover tires that are damaged as a result of road hazards, cuts, punctures, impact, etc.
Some retailers offer extended policies for road hazard injuries in addition to the manufacturer's warranty. Refer to your original sales receipt to see if such coverage applies.
A bulge or bubble in the sidewall is sometimes the result of damage from coming in contact with a curb, pothole or other object. Evidence of this damage can be:
A tire that sustains any of the above injuries is damaged and is not covered under warranty.
However, your satisfaction is important to us and we request that you take the tire into a participating dealer for inspection to determine if warranty coverage applies.
Road hazard damage is damage that occurs when a tire fails as a result of a puncture, bruise or break incurred during the course of normal driving on a maintained road. Nails, glass and potholes are the most common examples of road hazards.
Avoid running over objects (e.g. chuckholes, rocks, curbs, metal, glass, etc.) which may cause internal tire damage. Internal damage, not visible without demounting the tire, may be caused when a tire runs over an object. Continued use of a tire that has suffered internal damage (which may not be externally visible) can lead to dangerous tire failure. Determination of suspected internal damage requires demounting the tire from its rim and examination by a trained tire personnel.
When the center tread wears faster than the adjacent tread surfaces, possible causes include over inflation for load carried, rim width too narrow, misapplication, smooth wear after spin-out, improper tire rotation practices, aggressive acceleration or under inflation for certain tire types, such as performance tires.
If the tread depth is at or below 2/32" in any groove or if cord material or under tread is exposed, the tire must be replaced. If sufficient tread remains, verify proper rim width and vehicle fitment as well as verify/adjust inflation pressures, then rotate the tires for maximum wear.
When the shoulder of the tread on one side of a tire wears faster than the adjacent tread surface, this can result from a variety of conditions, such as front and/or rear misalignment (example, toe or camber), loose or worn suspension components, hard cornering, improper tire rotation practices, misapplication, high crown roads or non-uniform mounting.
If the tread depth is at or below 2/32" in any groove or if either cord or under tread is exposed, the tire must be replaced. If sufficient tread remains, verify that the tire has been properly mounted, then rotate the tires for maximum wear.
When tread is worn in one or more spots around the tire circumference, this can indicate brake lock/skid, improper balance, localized underlying separation, loose/worn suspension components, improper bead seating/mounting, progression from initial tread cut/chip/road hazard injury or chemical contamination. Surface texture may have initially shown abrasion marks from the tire sliding on the road, but the surface may have since worn smooth.
When the tires with a flat spot are used in a dual application, you may consider rotating one tire 180 degrees in relation to the flat spot on the other tire.
If the tread depth is at or below 2/32" in any groove or if either cord or under tread is exposed, the tire must be replaced.
When the cause of the flat spot is not apparent, your tire dealer should contact our Consumer Care Department.
Feathering is a condition when the edge of each tread rib develops a slightly rounded edge on one side and a sharp edge on the other. The most common causes of feathering are incorrect toe-in setting or deteriorated bushings in the front suspension. The toe setting should be as close to 0 as possible for the optimum wear.
The tires should be inflated to the pressure as indicated on the sticker on the inside of the driver's door. The vehicle manufacturer has determined this pressure is optimal for load, ride, handling, rolling resistance and tread wear performance.
The brownish color on the sidewall of your tires is not a defect. The source of this discoloration can be varied. One possibility is that the tires contain an anti-ozone agent in their rubber compounds to slow down the ill effects of exposure to ozone in the air. This anti-ozone ingredient will migrate to the surface of the rubber and leave the appearance of a brownish dust. This is completely normal and technically is no cause for concern. In time, depending on usage, it will disappear.
Other possibilities for discoloration can be simply dust that is picked up from normal driving or brake dust which is generated by the abrasion of the brake pads against the brake rotor. This latter condition is more prevalent when the brakes are new or have recently been relined. In all cases, we recommend that you continue to clean your tires with a mild soap and water.
Treadwear or life expectancy is determined by many factors:
Driving habits and style of driving, geographical location, type of vehicle, type of tire, how vehicle is maintained, how tires are maintained, etc.
As a result, mileage expectancy is impossible to determine.
Our Limited Warranty covers defects in workmanship and material for the life of the tread or 6 years from the original date of purchase, whichever occurs first. We offer no mileage warranty on the tires that were originally equipped on your vehicle.
We suggest that you have the tires/vehicle inspected by a participating tire retailer in your area to determine if there is perhaps a mechanical or maintenance issue that could be contributing to a rapid or irregular wear pattern.
Your satisfaction is important to us. Please have the dealer contact us with the tire inspection as we are willing to offer you assistance with your concern
Noise is most commonly due to an uneven or irregular wear pattern that has developed on the tires.
We suggest that you have the tires inspected by a participating tire retailer in your area. To find the dealers near you, refer to the Yellow Pages of your telephone book or utilize the Dealer Locator on our website.
The cause of Inside and Outside shoulder wear is normally due to improper inflation pressure, hard cornering, frequent mountain driving, improper tire rotation practices or a rim width too wide for the tire. Commercial delivery service vehicle tires frequently experience this type of wear pattern.
If the tire's tread depth is at or below 2/32" in any groove or if cord material or under tread is exposed, the tire must be replaced. If sufficient tread remains, verify proper rim width and vehicle fitment as well as verify/adjust inflation pressures, then rotate the tires for maximum wear.
A separation between the tread rubber and the underlying belt may be the result of cumulative poor inflation maintenance, improper inflation pressure, repair or storage, excessive load, speed or heat, prior impact damage, tread cut or puncture or run flat.
A tire exhibiting this condition should be permanently removed from service.
The tire industry refers to tires in this condition as "run flat" which refers to a tire that has lost air, whether it is from a slow loss or an immediate loss, and then subsequently run on. As the tire continues to operate or "run" with significant amount of air loss, it reaches the "runflat" stage, where serious internal damage is caused by the excessive deflection of the casing. If the air loss continues, the inside of the deflected sidewall can actually rub against itself. When the internal abrasion weakens the casing sufficiently a blowout can occur. Additional damage is often done by the relatively sharp rim flange cutting into the fully deflated casing as it is driven after the blowout, even in the short distance it takes to drive the vehicle to the side of the road.
We are not indicating that the tire was not maintained, but simply that it lost air. Some of the many factors which can cause a tire to lose its inflated air pressure are penetrations, cuts, snags, impact breaks, valve stem leaks, incorrect mounting, just to name a few. While it may not be possible to pinpoint the cause of initial air loss, we know the outcome is underinflation damage
The life of a tire cannot be measured by miles alone. Tires are composed of various types of material and rubber compounds, having performance properties essential to the proper functioning of the tire itself. These component properties evolve over time. For each tire, this evolution depends upon many factors such as weather, storage many factors such as weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation pressure, maintenance etc.) to which the tire is subjected throughout its life. This service-related evolution varies widely so that accurately predicting the serviceable life of any specific tire in advance is not possible.
It is impossible to predict when tires should be replaced based on their calendar age alone. However the older a tire the greater the chance that it will need to be replaced due to the service-related evolution or other conditions found upon inspection or detected during use.
While most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years, it is recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more from the date of manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a simple precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have not reached the legal wear limit.
The warranty covers defects in workmanship and material for the life of the tread or 6 years from the date of purchase, whichever occurs first. With no proof of purchase, the warranty period is for 6 years from the date of manufacture (this is indicated in the DOT # on the sidewall).
An inspection of your tires must be performed by a participating Michelin dealer. Once the dealer has had the opportunity to inspect your tires, inform him that you have been instructed by Michelin to request they contact us at 1-800-847-3435 to discuss their findings "while you are there".
Factors that can affect rapid tire life are:
Incorrect alignment settings can adversely affect handling. Tolerable camber, caster and toe settings can be verified by a print-out from your alignment/tire shop or vehicle dealer.
If the tires are evenly worn, the alignment is in order and there is still a pull, the front tires should be criss-crossed (as long as they are not a directional tread design) to see if the pull changes directions.
This should be performed by a participating dealer.
Cord material may become visible at the base of tread grooves or slots due to under inflation, misalignment, loose/worn suspension components, hard cornering, improper tire rotation practices, misapplication, high crown road or non-uniform mounting.
If cord material is visible, the tire must be replaced.
There are five total production vehicles that feature MICHELIN® PAX System, including the 2005 Honda Odyssey (Touring model.) Other production vehicles with PAX System are:
Placing importance on creating environmentally responsible products has always been a priority at Michelin. PAX System is no exception. PAX System tires:
There are several situations in which the Michelin limited warranty would not cover replacement costs. When:
When a consumer has questions about the wear on their PAX tires, they should contact their authorized Michelin PAX dealer or call Michelin directly at 1-877-PAX-TIRE.

rambler nose to the ground
hey gang i have a 66 rambler 440 with 232 st8 6.motors strong but front suspension is shot....WHERE TO START!!! replace parts or whole front end?what would fit?dodge chevy or ford? ideas or own experiences withwht works best
really the cheapest and easiest way to fix it would be to rebuild what you have. the suspension is really simple, and the parts are available to rebuild it.. it sounds like the trunions collapsed which can happen if there never serviced ( greased ). there available new on Ebay or www.kennedyamerican.com or www.ramblerparts.com have rebuilds and you just send your old 1's back.. both of them will have new springs also.
thnx for the insight.i looked into those sites and and repairing this wont be to bad.ill post pix soon :D
The big expense is the upper trunnions themselves. I think they run around $150 each. The new ones have urethane bushings and grease fittings, they will last another 50 years easily! the alternative is to cut everything out and pretty much build from scratch. Mustang II components don't fit well, no one makes a kit for these. I've seen one or two done well, but it's a lot of work and cost. $500 in parts will rebuild the entire front end and you'll be set for years to come. A Mustang II kit is $1500 at a minimum for a basic, stock parts kit. Then you have to make it fit!
The hardest part is removing the springs. This is also the most dangerous part. The spring seats have "ears" on them. Get a piece of 1/2" wide, 1/8" thick strap steel. Bend a hook in one end. With weight on the front wheels measure the distance between the holes in the ears at their closest points (top to bottom). Cut the strap and bend a hook in the other end so that the hooks are that distance apart. Jack the car up and put a jack stand near the lower ball joint/tire, then take the tire off. You should be able to pull down on the fender and connect the hooks (you need to make two!) in the ears. Disconnect the shock and SLOWLY jack the car up, watching the spring. As long as it stays straight you are fine. If it looks like it wants to bulge out or get crooked in any way, STOP JACKING and try to correct the problem. If it won't come out straight you will probably have to remove the fender and use a scissor type strut spring compressor.
Assuming the spring stays straight, continue jacking the car until the spring is loose. At that point VERY CAREFULLY pick the spring up and lift it out. You're working with a loaded gun there, so act accordingly! It is VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU NOT HANDLE THAT SPRING IF IT IS CROOKED. If it pops out something is going to break, and it could be your head. I mean as in skull popped open, jaw broke, broke arm, etc. YES, IT COULD KILL YOU!! I set the "loaded" spring carefully on the shop floor under the front floor of the car, which will keep it under there if it comes loose and you won't kick it over. There are holders made for this job, but the simple hooks work as long as the trunnions aren't so bad that the spring won't sit straight in the hooks. There is no safer way to work with those springs, except possibly removing the fenders and using the scissor type strut compressor. Just be careful! I've done this many times, but act like I'm an explosives expert moving a bomb every time! Oh, the engine has to be in the car for this to work too. The hooks don't compress the springs any further than normal loaded weight, unlike the factory hooks, which compress the hell out of the spring and REALLY load it up and make it dangerous! They are made in such a way to keep it from popping out, but it's much safer using the hooks and not compressing the spring further.
If you need to remove the hooks to change the spring use the car to compress the spring. Put the spring under the "frame" rail under the floorboard and set the car down on it. you might have to have someone press down on the front of the car to release it all the way. Then just jack the car up and pull the spring out, reverse to "hook" the new spring. I suggest you just do one side at a time to reduce handling the spring. The more you handle it, the more likely something will happen!

We've just added some images from Igromir 2011 to the Blizzard gallery. Thousands of visitors passed by our booth at the Crocus Exhibition Centre to get their hands on World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and – for the first time in Russia – Diablo III and StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm.
Experience all the thrills of this event by wandering through our gallery.
The fourth World of Warcraft expansion set, Mists of Pandaria, has been unveiled! Shrouded in fog since the world was sundered more than ten thousand years ago, the ancient realm of Pandaria has remained unspoiled by war. Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures — including the noble and enigmatic pandaren. Will the mists of Pandaria part to reveal the world's salvation… or will the battle to control this new land push the Horde and the Alliance over the brink of war and into total annihilation?
In Mists of Pandaria, players will be able to explore an all-new continent while reaching new heights of power on their way to an increased level cap of 90. In addition, adventurers can choose whether to side with the Horde or the Alliance as World of Warcraft's first neutral race — the pandaren — and master the ways of Pandaria's ancient martial arts as the all-new monk class.
For more information, check out the official press release, and visit the new World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria website for screenshots, information about the new features, concept art, the announcement trailer, and more.
Since we originally unveiled Heart of the Swarm back in May, we've continued working in secret, laboring in the dark recesses of Blizzard's sheetrock-lined offices on the dank and gloomy coast of Southern California. Today, at BlizzCon 2011, we showcased the future of StarCraft II with a new teaser cinematic. Check it out!
With Deathwing's shadow looming over Azeroth and the mortal realms of Sanctuary steeling for war against the forces of Diablo, the World of Warcraft Annual Pass has arrived to offer WoW subscribers a chance to participate in both apocalyptic conflicts… without breaking the bank.
For a limited time only, players who make a 12-month subscription commitment to World of Warcraft through the WoW Annual Pass will receive the following epic rewards:
You can pay for the WoW Annual Pass on a monthly basis at €12.99 EUR (£8.99 GBP) per month or according to the billing plan of your choice. To participate, you must be 18 or older, have a valid credit card, and have registered a full version of World of Warcraft on or before October 18, 2011.
Sign up for the World of Warcraft Annual Pass here, and then keep an eye on the World of Warcraft community site or the Diablo III community site for future announcements regarding the launch dates of these bonuses.
For more information on this offer, including eligibility requirements and details on how the World of Warcraft Annual Pass applies to players who plan to purchase the Diablo III: Collector's Edition, please read the full FAQ.

The sold-out show features developer discussion panels, top-tier tournament competition, the popular costume and dance contests hosted by Jay Mohr, an epic closing concert featuring Foo Fighters, and much more.
You can still join us from home by purchasing a BlizzCon Virtual Ticket, featuring more than 50 hours of live HD coverage streaming online as well as the exclusive BlizzCon 2011 World of Warcraft pet, Murkablo, and yet-to-be-revealed StarCraft II in-game gift. DIRECTV customers in the U.S. can also order BlizzCon as a Pay Per View event and get a Virtual Ticket for free. For more information, read our recent press release or visit BlizzCon.com.
IgroMir, the premier gaming event in Russia, concluded this weekend after an exciting four days in Moscow.
Come rain or shine, enthusiastic visitors began queuing early at the Crocus Exhibition Centre to get their hands on World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, and, for the first time in Russia, Diablo III and StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. It was great to meet everyone who came to our booth, and we hope everyone enjoyed their time playing our games.
We'll be sharing photos from the event soon, so stay tuned!
Several times a year, Blizzard employees around the world gather to celebrate the five-, ten-, and fifteen-year milestones of their friends and colleagues with a ceremony where each recipient is honored with their service award. We now present a gallery with examples of awards that have been handed out over the years in recognition of the hard work, great resolve, and unwavering dedication that has helped make Blizzard the company you know today.
It's almost here! Visitors to IgroMir have just one more day to wait until they can play their favorite Blizzard Entertainment games!
From tomorrow, in our booth at the Crocus Exhibition Centre (find us at A2, Hall #13, Pavillion#3) you can get your hands on World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and – for the first time in Russia – Diablo III and StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. We look forward to meeting you!

2005-06 Season
Probably affected more by the Lady Bulldogs' loss of a quartet of post players than anyone else on the roster.
Reported to campus expecting to play primarily on the wing this season but that changed when Rebecca Rowsey tore the ACL in her right knee just two days after pre-season workouts began (Aug. 28).
Knew then she'd probably see a good bit of time at power forward - the position she eventually played last season - but her minutes inside grew even greater when the Lady Dogs also lost Ebony Felder, Reicina Russell and Angel Robinson for the year.
Among SEC leaders, ranked No. 21 in scoring, No. 9 in minutes played and No. 10 in three-pointers per game.
Rebounding quite nicely from a disappointing opener when she fouled out with 8:20 against Baylor to reach double digits in the next eight games.
Reached double figures in the first halves of dates with TCU, UCLA, LMU and MTSU.
Poured in a career-high 24 points while logging all 40 minutes of action at MTSU and followed that with a team-high 16 points versus Georgia Tech.
Knocked down six three-pointers - one shy of the Lady Bulldog single-game record - in just 25 minutes of action in the SEC opener at Ole Miss before fouling out.
2004-05 Season
Began at guard before settling in primarily at the `4' for the majority of conference and post-season play.
Along with Tasha Humphrey, became the 17th and 18th Lady Dogs named to the coaches' Freshman All-SEC team during the last 18 years.
Had impressive outings in two exhibition wins, averaging 13.5 points. Scored 16 points in just 22 minutes against the Miami Suns and followed that with 11 against EA Sports.
Received her first career start at Georgia Tech, becoming the 56th freshman to do so for UGA during Andy Landers' 26 seasons in Athens.
Perhaps best overall outing was against Auburn. Included in solid linescore she tied what was then her career-high with 28 MP and grabbed a career-best with eight boards.
After reaching double-digits once in the first 16 games of the season did so thrice in her next four outings.
Improved her career-high for minutes twice in three games with 33 at Tennessee and then 34 versus Kentucky at home.
After playing `4' exclusively for a month, saw time at wing against South Carolina and hit four threes in the final 6:25 of the first half to help grow a five-point lead to 12.
Scored all 11 of her points at Florida in the second half, including six unanswered in the first 2:05 of the period to give Georgia a lead it would never relinquish.
Made quite a splash with 14 points against Ole Miss in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament, her highest output against a league foe during the season.
Injured her right wrist in practice on Saturday, March 12, and practiced on an extremely limited basis in the week leading up to the 2005 NCAA Tournament opener.
Showed little if any ill effects from the sore wrist against Rice in the NCAA's first round, scoring seven in 20 minutes of court time.
High School
Coached by Paula Jones at East Coweta High.
A four-year starter at East Coweta who completed her career with 1,637 points and had her jersey retired.
Rated as the No. 36 prospect in the nation by the All-Star Girls Basketball Report.
Selected to play in the Adidas/EA Sports Superstar weekend where she scored 12 points for the "T-Mac Superstars" in a 100-95 victory over the "KG Superstars."
Named the South team's Most Valuable Player at the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association (GACA) All-Star game after scoring a game-high 18 points and also grabbing nine rebounds and rejecting three shots.
Tabbed the 2004 Fayette County Player of the Year by the Newnan Times-Herald.
As a senior, averaged 25.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.0 steals while leading the Lady Indians to a 21-9 record and their second-straight trip to the quarterfinals of the AAAAA State Tourney.
Led East Coweta in scoring in 28 of 30 games during 2003-04, scoring 30 or more seven times.
Poured in a school-record 38 points against Newnan on Dec. 3, 2003, and became East Coweta's all-time leading scorer midway through her senior season during a Jan. 10, 2004 victory over Lovejoy.
As a junior, averaged 21.5 points and 11.0 rebounds while leading East Coweta to an 18-12 record and the quarterfinals of the State Tournament.
Also a standout volleyball player who was named Region 4-AAAAA Player of the Year as a junior.
Born Dec. 6, 1985, the daughter of Tommy and Becky Darrah.
Major: Pre-Business. -->

I live in Tallahassee FL with my wife and 3 kids. I am not new to props, but this is my first Star Wars build. I'm still not sure if I will do ESB or ROTJ (leaning towards ESB).
I have sent out some pm,s about my first purchases (definitely going with RKD armor).
Not sure what else to say here, but it seems like a great community and I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Five home games and two contests against schools that advanced to the national semifinals last season highlight the 2014 Canisius College men's lacrosse schedule, announced by head coach Randy Mearns on Wednesday.
"We once again have a very demanding schedule that will challenge us throughout the year," Mearns said. "Any time you play two teams that made the Final Four a year ago, you know that you will have your hands full but we're looking forward to testing our team in the non-conference season. Ultimately, our main goal is to prepare us for our conference season and then qualify for the MAAC Tournament but we can't wait to get started in two weeks at Boston."
The Griffs open the 2014 campaign on Feb. 15 in Boston with a contest against the Terriers. Boston University is in its inaugural season of men's lacrosse and Canisius will represent the program's first-ever home game.
Canisius then hits the road to face Air Force (Feb. 22) and Denver (Feb. 23) in Denver, Colo., before squaring off with Cornell (March 4) in Ithaca, N.Y. Both the Pioneers and Big Red advanced to the national semifinals in 2013.
The Griffs host Hobart in their home opener on March 11, while also welcoming VMI (April 19) to the Demske Sports Complex in non-conference action. Canisius also travels to face Albany (March 25) and Binghamton (April 15) out of MAAC action.
Canisius begins conference play on March 15 with a home contest against Monmouth on March 15. The Griffs also host defending MAAC Champions Detroit (March 23) and Manhattan (April 5), while playing at Siena (March 29), Quinnipiac (April 15) and Marist (April 26).
The Griffs' home games against Hobart and Detroit are both slated to be televised on Time Warner SportsChannel.
The top four teams in the MAAC regular season qualify for the 2014 MAAC Championship, held on the campus of Marist. The semifinals are scheduled for May 1 with the championship game slated for May 3.
Canisius is returning nine starters and 24 letterwinners from the 2013 squad and is just two years removed from the program's second MAAC Championship in 2012.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - No. 18 North Carolina (1-0) cruised past Wofford College (0-1) at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center on Saturday morning in the team's opening match of the season. The Tar Heels' 7-0 sweep of the Terriers featured a number of dominating performances, and the victory was ultimately clinched by freshman Brett Clark in his first collegiate dual match.
The Tar Heels wasted no time gaining an early edge in the doubles matches. The pairing of #44-ranked Esben Hess-Olesen and Nelson Vick provided a dominant 8-1 victory at the No. 1 seed over Wofford's pairing of Rob Galloway and Walker Heffron. At No. 2 doubles, North Carolina's Brett Clark and William Parker rolled past Jackson Keith David Sklar 8-2. North Carolina's pairing of Stuart DePaolo and Andrew Gores at the No. 3 seed completed a sweep of the doubles matches for the Tar Heels as they dismissed Wofford's duo of Graham Duncan and Parks Thompson 8-4.
Singles play yielded similarly positive results for North Carolina. Senior William Parker captured the first singles victory, defeating Wofford's Walker Heffron 6-0, 6-2 at the #4 spot. At No. 2 singles, Nelson Vick made quick work of Jackson Keith 6-0, 6-1 in his dual match debut for UNC.
Freshman Brett Clark, a Naples, Fla. native, clinched the victory for the Tar Heels in his debut with a rout of Wofford's Rob Galloway 6-2, 6-0 at the No. 3 seed.
The rest of the team eventually followed suit, as a duo of sophomores - Oystein Steiro and Esben Hess-Olesen - claimed victories in the No. 5 singles and No. 1 singles matches, respectively.
"We played well. It's good to get your first win under your belt," said senior William Parker, "Everyone played well. We won 7-0, so it's always nice when everyone wins in a clean sweep."
Head Coach Sam Paul agreed, but also acknowledged that the Tar Heels have room to improve.
"It was a good way to get [the season] started, but we have to keep our foot on the gas. We have a lot of work to do," said Paul.
The Tar Heels will be back in action later this evening when they take on Gardner-Webb at 5:00 PM.
