Customers Reviews
Craig R. H. L.1 year ago23 December 2017Elgin Volkswagen is a stand alone VW dealer. This translates to a total focus and service on VW. When I entered, I met Jeff Gossage who was a no pressure and well informed sales professional. I had what seemed to be a difficult situation, viz. getting out of a current lease and then leasing another VW. It was seamlessly done and I got the exact 2017 VW Golf Alltrack with the exact options I wanted.
William H.2 years agoFantastic service and attention! From the beginning of sales (Shawn), to the personal attention (GM -Rick), to the final process (Finance - John), we could not have been more pleased with Elgin Volkswagen. If you are in the market for a car, this is the final destination. One other note: Shawn was HIGHLY knowledgable of the inner-workings of the car. He spent a lot of time going over all the features and got us set up before we drove away. Thank you again, Shawn!
Heidi C.2 years agoMy beloved 2009 VW Rabbit was totaled a couple weeks ago by a distracted driver. I needed a new car quickly, and as the GTI was my attainable dream car (versus unattainable like say, an Audi RS 7 or R8), I looked at used GTI models in the area. But it wasn't long before my husband found a new 2017 GTI for an amazing price at Elgin VW.Elgin isn't close to where I live and I didn't have time to go there during the week, but Sandy (our first contact at Elgin VW) never pressured us to come in ASAP like most other dealerships did. She was also willing to discuss the price and details of the car over email, which *many* other dealerships wouldn't do. (Pro tip for dealerships: telling potential customers to "come in and talk", and ignoring their questions, when they email you is a huge turnoff. It's the digital age so get with the times!) Sandy doesn't work on Saturdays so Jeff G. took over for her when we saw the car and he was also very nice and accommodating. Finance manager Daniel B. was also a pleasure to work with. He tried to sell us on an extended warranty but wasn't pushy about it, and I know it's just a part of his job.I have no idea what Elgin VW is like on the service side but the sales department provided a wonderful experience, overall!
David R.2 years agoVery impressed not only with the level of service they provided but the quality of product they delivered. The sales manager Marco was very professional and his entire staff was warm and friendly. I could not find a better deal within 500 plus miles and was just blow away by this dealership. Their dealership was clean and everyone seemed happy to be there. I will buy from them again and recommend anyone looking for a car to check them out.
Bob N.2 years agoVery impressed with the level of true customer service at this dealership. Start to finish, my deal was handled very professionally! Jeff G. Did a great job! I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone.
Derek H.2 years agoOnce again, blew away my expectations for what service should be. Steve and Maria in service are as professional and courteous as one could imagine.
Beth M.3 years agoThis is the second time in 2 years that I had to purchase a new car, so I feel like I've had enough experiences to give a fair Yelp review. Our 2015 Kia was totaled recently after a teenage boy hit us, so we were suddenly in a market for a new car. We hit up a couple of different dealerships to test out the 2016 VW GTI and compare pricing. The first quote I got was from Elgin VW. It was a very competitive price, but I wanted to give the VW dealership in Schaumburg a chance to beat it. When they were not able to beat the price, they used questionable tactics to try to make the sale. I made my way back to Elgin VW and purchased the car for a great price at a great rate. Marco and Jeff were great and it's a beautiful dealership to boot!
Jeremy P.3 years agoJeff was an easy and helpful salesman to work with. I was able to bring my mechanic in to check the vehicle out and they were kind enough to put it up on a lift with no problems. Everything checked out and we ended up buying the vehicle. So far so good, no problems with the car. I will recommend this dealership to friends and family looking for a new vehicle.
David K.3 years agoDid my first service on my Volkswagen at Elgin VW. Maria took care of me and made sure everything was quick. I love the bath they gave the car it was much appreciated. I will be doing all my service at Elgin VW.
Victoria S.3 years agoMy car buying experience at the Elgin VW was easy and painless! My sales person, Allison Petty was accommodating to my wants and needs when I purchased my vehicle and extremely friendly! I would highly recommend this dealership.
Subaru sti1 month agoGreat place to buy any car they will take care of you
Barbara Tylka2 months agoWonderful experience! We just purchased our second car at this dealership and everything was nice and smooth from beginning to end.

Highly recommend this place!!!

Tom Hetzel3 months agoService department visit. Very organized. Clean. Waiting area very comfortable. Service writer friendly and kept me informed on my vehicles progress as I waited.
Frank J. Conti4 months agoA very nice dealership with GREAT employees. My wife and I went in on April 5th and we had the pleasure of working with Rob and Vito. We were showed the model we picked out in a clean, well lit indoor showroom area. All the features were explained to us and the differences in the trim levels. No pressure what's so ever. I was never upsold or pressured to upgrade to a different trim or model. We had the deal done in no time. As a matter of fact it was such a great experience I brought my sister inlaw in 3 weeks later and she purchased a car as well. Thank you again Vito Massi, Rob and the finance manager!!
Neydy Duran4 months agoWe had yet again the pleasure of working with Elvis Halipaj. We came in to shop around for a vehicle that suited us best and under no circumstances did we feel pressured to buy anything. On the contrary Elvis is extremely helpful. He helped us find exactly what we wanted and needed. He's always very attentive to our needs and never fails to provide excellent customer service. He even took the time to show us all the functions of our new vehicle. As well as answer any questions we had. We always refer our friends and family here to work with Elvis. We are very happy and pleased. Thank you again!!!
Ricky Barnes4 months agoWent in for service only. Super friendly staff, very quick and efficient as well.
Greg M5 months agoWorked with Elvis to buy a car today and had a great overall experience. Very informative and never pressured me into buying. Whole process took about 2 hours.
Lucky Lucy12055 months agoStopped to browse. Came home with a new car. Wonderful sales associate, Rob. No pressure. Great car. We'll see about the Service Department soon. Stay tuned .....

Helena1 year agoCar shopping was easy here I had a lot of help from Victoria. She was friendly and helpful with what I needed. Would come back
Cassie Castillo1 year agoSo happy I chose Elgin VW! Couldn't have asked for better service.
Nicole2 years agoWill definitely go back to this dealership. Great prices, great sale staff, beautiful facility. Overall excellent experience. Heated showroom for all vehicles and quick response time from dealership when inquiring about a vehicle. They even held car that I was interested in for me being I was coming from out of town.
Pat R2 years agoI visited Elgin Volkswagen few days ago and came away very impressed. I have been to a lot of different dealerships in my lifetime but I felt Elgin Volkswagen was as nice as any I have been to in many years. Even after I told the sales person I was just gathering some information, he still showed me all the details and demonstrated exactly how each part of the vehicle worked. I had called about whether they had the model I was interested in. They told me they did and even had it cleaned up and on the floor for me to check out. I feel they went above what one would expect, knowing I was not going to buy a car that day. The salesperson was very courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this dealership to my friends and family.
Tim2 years agoAll around the best car buying experience I have ever had. Highly recommend.
Cindy Jimenez2 years agoI really enjoyed my visit here. Steven was very nice and was able to work with our budget. I am proud to be part of the Volkswagen family!
Christian W.3 years agoWhat a great experience! This was by far the most friendly and welcoming car dealership experience I have ever had. My salesman, Steven Vlagos, was so knowledgeable, helpful, polite and accommodating! He helped in any way that he could all the way to assisting me with moving my belongings from my old car to my new one! They have a great team including Dave (GM), Marco (Sales Mgr), Daniel (Finance) & Steve (Service Mgr). Hats off to Elgin VW! Thank you!!! They are also assisting me in the TDI buyback program! Buy your next car here!

Jason3 years agoI was very impressed with the personal touch and attention to my wishes during my new car buying experience at VW Elgin on 9/30/16. My sales person (Steve Vlagos) was super polite and really took his time to ensure I was 100% satisfied. The management & finance staff was also exceptional. I highly recommend doing your purchase of a new vehicle with VW Elgin. Clean facility, helpful staff and an easy transaction.
craig2 months agoPurchasing a vehicle through Elgin VW was just awesome!! Bruce Taira is a great person to work with and he truly looks out for the best with a buyer. I was concerned about the old 'bait and switch' at first...But at the end of the day, we worked on a vehicle that fit my needs and at the right price range! Most dealers want to pump and run...Elgin VW is legit!
Michael8 months agoWe bought a new 2018 Beetle with Bruce Taira. We did all the negotiations online and over the phone and he sent us the terms of sale. Also gave us great value on our trade in sight unseen. There was no manager BS, would highly recommend Bruce and this dealership.

Pigweed taking hold
Palmer amaranth, otherwise known as "Palmer pigweed," has become a problem to many farmers in central and western Kansas.
Palmer amaranth is an aggressive and invasive weed that used to be controlled by a popular herbicide called glyphosate.
However, the weed has started to resist the herbicide. Pigweed was spurred by late spring and early summer rainfall. It grows rapidly in hot conditions and is known for its prolific seeding.
One pigweed plant can produce several hundred thousand seeds.
Dallas Peterson, an agronomist and weed specialist at Kansas State University, has taken many phone calls regarding the issue.
"Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth was first confirmed in Kansas three years ago but seems to be exploding across central Kansas this year," he said.
If herbicide treatment controls some pigweed plants and fails to control others, it is an indication of resistance.
"Producers need to use an integrated approach to weed control that utilizes a variety of cultural practices and herbicide modes of action to help control weeds and minimize herbicide resistance," Peterson said. "The use of effective pre-emergence residual herbicides is probably going to be very important to help manage Palmer amaranth in the future."
If a farmer notices just a few scattered pigweed plants that have escaped herbicide treatment, it might be worth it to remove those plants by hand.
"If not, the resistant biotypes will increase and spread across the field and to other fields by way of the combine," Peterson said. "If poor control was achieved with glyphosate, it is probably safe to assume that it is resistant and plan accordingly, both this year and in the future."

Ryan's big-spending conservatism
Paul Ryan rose to the top of the political ranks on his reputation as a conservative budget hawk. But his voting record shows him to be far from a pure fiscal conservative.
Ryan voted for the $700 billion bank bailout, the biggest Medicare expansion in U.S. history, a massive highway bill that included the "Bridge to Nowhere" and other big-ticket priorities when George W. Bush was president — going to bat for a high-spending GOP agenda that the tea party base now looks on with regret.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Ryan nod rattles congressional bids)
"Obviously, those votes certainly don't make me happy," said Amy Kremer, chairwoman of the Tea Party Express, one of the country's most influential tea party organizations — though she was quick to say she was pleased with Ryan's selection as Mitt Romney's running mate.
"I think that he's somebody who'll stand up and accept responsibility for previous actions," she said. "More importantly than that, he knows that we're in serious financial trouble, and he has a grasp on the big picture all the way down to the little details.
"There is no perfect politician," Kremer added. "There are many of them that have had votes that we aren't happy about. But we were in a different time period then, and those votes are actually what led to this movement being formed."
A campaign spokesman for Ryan did not respond to a request for comment Monday.
Still, Ryan's voting record shows that he was willing to vote for expensive government programs when some other fiscal conservative said no.
In the fall of 2008, Ryan voted for TARP. Later that year, he voted for loans to help rescue the auto industry, making him one of just 32 Republicans to do so — and his vote came after Romney wrote the New York Times op-ed titled "Let Detroit go bankrupt."
Even so, critics of that kind of spending joined other conservatives in applauding Romney's announcement Saturday that Ryan would be on the ticket.
"His record speaks for itself, and he's going to have to defend those votes," said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. "But when it comes to entitlement reform and unfunded liabilities, he probably understands and articulates it better than anyone else in the country."
Ryan's votes on spending came on top of his support for the Bush-era tax cuts, which liberals complain blew a titanic hole in the budget.
All in all, Ryan's congressional voting record reveals a standard, loyal Republican. He has voted at least 90 percent of the time with his party since he came to Capitol Hill in 1999, according to The Washington Post's votes database.
Among the biggest items in Ryan's spending record was his vote in the fall of 2008 for the $700 billion TARP financial bailout, which drew resistance from many House Republicans despite the Bush administration's warnings that failing to act could cause an all-out collapse of the financial system.
During House floor debate on Sept. 29, 2008, Ryan said the TARP legislation "offends my principles." But he added, "I'm going to vote for this bill in order to preserve my principles. In order to preserve this free enterprise system."

DTrace Ported to QNX
Submitted by Dubhthach 2007-11-09 QNX 44 Comments
DTrace has been ported to QNX. "The initial port to Neutrino that Colin and I have done is slightly different from the other OS ports. Since Neutrino is a micro-kernel, we wanted to see how far we could go keeping the dtrace module out of the kernel... And if possible even outside of the process manager. The current implementation has all of the dtrace system code, normally found in the kernel or a kernel module, encapsulated in a resource manager, io-dtrace, and the utility is a straight port of the Solaris utility."

Standing Up to Corporatism
At the second March on Blair Mountain, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. tells the story of America's long struggle against unchecked corporate power.
Earlier this summer, protesters set out on a five-day journey in honor of the 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain, when more than 10,000 coal miners battled for union rights and protections. This time, the protesters were fighting not just for the rights of miners, but for the mountain itself (Blair Mountain is slated for a mountaintop removal coalmine).
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. joined the protesters. In this video, he discusses the deep problem to which both marches on Blair Mountain were responding: the growth of unchecked corporate power.
The Story of Citizens United v FEC: How we the people can reclaim our democracy.
The Supreme Court says corporations can spend as much money as they want on political advertising. Millions of Americans say they've had it.
How Americans across professions, religions, and states are uniting in opposition to Wisconsin's anti-union bill—and cultivating a movement that reaches far beyond the state border.

Criteria for an Emphysema Patient to Receive a Lung Transplant
My mother is 60 years old and is in hospice. She suffers from severe emphysema. She is dependent on oxygen and morphine in order to be comfortable. Is she a candidate for a lung transplant?
Emphysema is one of the leading indications for lung transplantation. Potential candidates are put through an arduous screening process to assure that they are otherwise healthy and can endure the rigors of the surgery and the lengthy recovery time. Part of this assessment involves an objective measurement of one's functional status.
For example, most programs require that a potential candidate be able to walk a minimum of 600 feet within 6 minutes. Research has shown that those who cannot achieve this goal typically do poorly after the transplant surgery. Unfortunately, most patients in hospice care do not qualify for transplantation on this basis.

NFL 2011 Season – Week Five Preview
The NFL enters week five of its 2011 season — its first bye week — with just two unbeaten teams: the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers and the upstart Detroit Lions. Both teams will play in the primetime games on Sunday and Monday, respectively. Meanwhile, Baltimore, Dallas, Miami, St. Louis, Washington and Cleveland are all off this week.
Here's a look at the NFL schedule for Sunday, Oct. 9:
Tennessee Titans at Pittsburgh Steelers – 1:00 PM
Tennessee (3-1) will be tested by Pittsburgh (2-2), whose defense is the best in the NFL against the pass and allows the second fewest yards per game with 277. Only New England's Tom Brady has a higher passer rating in the AFC than Tennessee veteran Matt Hasselbeck's 104.7. One key to Hasselbeck's success has been a Titans offensive line that has only allowed him to be sacked four times. Pittsburgh expects quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to play, despite the left foot injury he suffered in last week's loss to Houston. Roethlisberger has been sacked an AFC-high 14 times. He'll get few breaks from a Tennessee defense that allows the fewest points per game in the league (14.0).
Seattle Seahawks at N.Y. Giants – 1:00 PM
The New York Giants (3-1) have won three consecutive games since a season-opening loss to Washington. Credit the play of Giants quarterback Eli Manning for the turnaround. Manning has an NFL-best 139.5 4th quarter passer rating. He has also thrown 90 straight passes without an interception, the NFL's longest current streak. Seattle's defense hasn't been able to pressure many quarterbacks into mistakes. The Seahawks have just two interceptions on the year and are tied with Atlanta with an NFC-worst five team sacks. Seattle (1-3) used a no-huddle offense to great effect to come back on Atlanta late last week, but they fell short of a win. If Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch can't improve his 35.3 yards per game output, expect a similar adjustment against the Giants.
Cincinnati Bengals at Jacksonville Jaguars – 1:00 PM
Quarterback Andy Dalton of Cincinnati (2-2) faces fellow rookie starter Blaine Gabbert of Jacksonville (1-3), but the key matchup is how Gabbert will perform against the Bengals defense, which gives up the fewest yards per game in the NFL (275.5). Gabbert's 62.9 passer rating is the league's worst. The Jaguars will need running back Maurice Jones-Drew, the NFL's second-leading rusher with 391 yards, to help them control the ball. Dalton will look for wide receiver A.J. Green, the fourth overall pick in this year's draft, to burn a Jacksonville defense that likes to cause turnovers and takes risks to do so.
New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers – 1:00 PM
This NFC South matchup features quarterbacks Drew Brees of New Orleans and Cam Newton of Carolina, who rank second and third in the NFL, respectively, in passing yardage. However, Brees' Saints are more productive, scoring 31.8 points a game versus the Panthers 22.3. New Orleans (3-1) will attack the Carolina defense and hope to force rookie star Newton into trying to play catch up on the scoreboard. Carolina (1-3) is converting less than a third of its third downs and taking too many costly penalties. The inconsistent execution by the Panthers results in games like last week, when they rolled up a franchise record 543 yards, but still lost to Chicago.
Oakland Raiders at Houston Texans – 1:00 PM
After a big victory against the Jets in week three, Oakland (2-2) was brought back to reality when New England handed them a convincing 31-19 defeat last week. The Raiders will need to refocus quickly to beat a very strong Houston (3-1) team that has played as well as anyone in the AFC. Pairing a healthy Arian Foster with Matt Schaub, the league's sixth-best passer, gives the Texans cause to think they can beat any team, even without receiver Andre Johnson, who is sidelined indefinitely with a hamstring injury. Houston's swarming defense, which features an AFC-leading 12 team sacks, makes teams work for every yard. While quarterback Jason Campbell's interceptions hurt the Raiders against the Patriots, the greater overall issue for Oakland may be that they allow the second-most points per game (28.3) in the league. Oakland will continue to lean on Darren McFadden, who leads the NFL with 468 rushing yards this season, but defenses are already starting to key on him. Coach Hue Jackson will eventually need to vary his plays for the Raiders to succeed.
Philadelphia Eagles at Buffalo Bills – 1:00 PM
Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick had a career-high 416 passing yards against San Francisco last week, but he couldn't help the Eagles (1-3) defense from coughing up another big lead in the 4th quarter. Having been outscored 36-0 in the final quarter over the past three weeks — all losses — Philadelphia must close out Buffalo if they get ahead. The Bills defense, which allows 33.3 points per game, may have difficulty containing Vick and LeSean McCoy, the NFC's second-leading rusher. Despite a last-second field goal loss to Cincinnati, Buffalo (3-1) knows all about scoring late. They used 4th quarter rallies to defeat Oakland and New England in week two and three. Bills running back Fred Jackson, who has 369 yards rushing in four games, will create problems for a Philadelphia defense that is third-worst in the league against the run. Eagles' coach Andy Reid's critics are starting to hold him accountable for that deficiency.
Kansas City Chiefs at Indianapolis Colts – 1:00 PM
Having beaten a winless Minnesota team last Sunday to record their first victory, Kansas City (1-3) faces another in Indianapolis (0-4). The Colts have gotten close to a win in late losses to Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay the past two weeks, but it's clear that the team badly misses the leadership of sidelined quarterback Peyton Manning. Whether quarterbacked by Kerry Collins, who lost the first three games, or Curtis Painter, who lost last week, Indianapolis must find a way to sustain drives and keep its defense off the field. The Colts rank 25th in the NFL in yards allowed. Fortunately, the Chiefs offensive attack has been unspectacular. Kansas City gains only 110.8 yards rushing per game. If veteran Thomas Jones can gain more than his paltry 2.8 yards per carry, it may set up quarterback Matt Cassel to occasionally look downfield.
Arizona Cardinals at Minnesota Vikings – 1:00 PM
Both starting quarterbacks are former Eagles, but Donovan McNabb is under more scrutiny in Minnesota than Kevin Kolb is in Arizona. The Vikings (0-4) are next-to-last in the NFL in passing offense. They have not been able to tack on points to lock down wins, having lost second-half leads in all four games this year. The Minnesota defense will pressure Kolb. If Arizona (1-3) gets into the end zone, it will probably be on the legs of running back Beanie Wells, who has five scores and averages 107 yards per game on the ground. The more that the Vikings defense has to key on Wells, the better the chances are that Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald may have a big catch.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at San Francisco 49ers – 4:05 PM
San Francisco (3-1) seeks to win a key NFC game against Tampa Bay (3-1) in a matchup of division leaders. The 49ers would love to grind down the Buccaneers defense with running backs Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter, who combined for 165 yards on 24 carries last week. Quarterback Alex Smith passes better without pressure, but he's been sacked 14 times in the last three weeks. Look for Tampa Bay to register a few more hits on Smith. On offense, the Buccaneers will look for running back LaGarrette Blount to continue to develop into a threat. He had 127 yards rushing against the Colts on Monday. The more the 49ers need to stop Blount, the less they'll be able to force Josh Freeman into mistakes.
N.Y. Jets at New England Patriots – 4:15 PM
The rivalry between New England (3-1) and the N.Y. Jets (2-2) has become one of the NFL's best. While the Patriots are off to the better start this year, the Jets may be hungrier for a win. The matchup to watch is the New England offense, led by quarterback Tom Brady and his 1,553 passing yards, versus the Jets defense, which allows the second-fewest passing yards per game in the NFL at 180.3. Brady and New England also would like to put the memory of last January's playoff loss to New York behind them. After suffering through a four-turnover performance against the Ravens Sunday night, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez must find a way to limit mistakes against the Patriots, who are tied for third in the NFL in interceptions with seven. The good news for Sanchez and the Jets is that New England gives up the most yards per game in the league: 477.5.
San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos – 4:15 PM
This AFC West showdown features a San Diego team that is in first place because of its defense. The Chargers (3-1) allow 297.8 yards per game, which ranks sixth in the NFL. They'll try to stop a Denver offense led by the inconsistent Kyle Orton, who threw three touchdowns and three interceptions last week in a 49-23 beating at the hands of Green Bay. Denver (1-3) will rely on Willis McGahee to assist Orton's efforts. The veteran running back has a pair of 100-yard games in three weeks. San Diego must overcome its challenges in the red zone. They rank 16th in the NFL in touchdown efficiency inside the 20-yard line. Kicker Nick Novak had four field goals last week, but the Chargers want him kicking extra points rather than field goals.
Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons – 8:20 PM
Green Bay (4-0) averages a league-high 37.0 points per game behind the play of MVP candidate Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. The NFL's top-rated passer will create issues for Atlanta (2-2), whose defense is 24th in the league in passing yards allowed. The Falcons must find a way to put pressure on Rodgers and keep him from converting third downs into first downs and drives into points. Green Bay's defense will look to get Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan on the turf. Ryan's been sacked 13 times this year. Falcons running back Michael Turner has been productive with 76 yards rushing per game, but he needs to be more of a game-breaking threat and force Green Bay to pay attention to him, along with receivers Julio Jones and Roddy White.
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions – 8:30 PM
Monday, Oct. 10
Thanks to furious rallies and the play of quarterback Matthew Stafford and receiver Calvin Johnson, Detroit (4-0) has become a legitimate force in the NFC. They'll send Johnson out to add to his eight touchdown catches against a Chicago defense that is 29th in the league against the pass and 31st overall in yards allowed. Meanwhile, with 15 sacks allowed, the Bears (2-2) haven't figured out how to consistently protect quarterback Jay Culter. If Lions defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh can break loose, it could be a long evening for the Bears on both sides of the ball. Chicago must hope to control the clock with running back Matt Forte and a smart, turnover-free game from Cutler.

The best NFL undrafted free agents
Legitimate prospects fall through the cracks each and every year.
Philadelphia, PA -
Undrafted doesn't necessarily mean unwanted in the NFL.
Despite the resources every organization pours into player personnel, the NFL Draft is only seven rounds long and legitimate prospects fall through the cracks each and every year.
Heck, Pro Football Hall of Famers like Warren Moon and John Randle weren't selected in the draft when it was a 12-round process. And Moon and Randle are among a group of 15 undrafted free agents who are enshrined in Canton compared to just 13 former No. 1 overall picks and eight Heisman Trophy winners.
Current stars like Dallas quarterback Tony Romo, Houston running back Arian Foster and New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz were all also overlooked before developing into Pro Bowl-caliber players.
So, here's a look an one undrafted player from each NFL team who could end up contributing down the road:
Arizona Cardinals:
Tony Jefferson, S, Oklahoma - Jefferson was once considered the reincarnation of Roy Williams in Norman, ranked as the fourth-best safety nationally in his recruiting class. His promising career probably peaked a little too soon at OU and he spent his final two years battling nagging injuries. When healthy, Jefferson is a complete safety who could push a nondescript group in the desert led by Rashad Johnson and free agent signee Yeremiah Bell.
Atlanta Falcons:
Nick Clancy, LB, Boston College - The Eagles weren't all that successful in 2012 and perhaps that's why Clancy was overlooked. BC finished a dismal 2-10, but the senior linebacker was the leader of a defense which competed despite difficult circumstances. A poor 4.93-second 40-yard dash and the fact that Clancy wasn't a full-time starter until last season also hurt him, but he's an instinctive 'backer who could fit in on special teams early while bolstering a position the Falcons have little depth in.
Baltimore Ravens:
Murphy Holloway, TE, Ole Miss - Everyone is always looking for next Antonio Gates, a basketball standout who developed into a Hall of Fame-caliber tight end in San Diego. The Ravens need a third tight end and the 6-foot-6 Holloway has intriguing physical skills. He was a star at Ole Miss on the basketball court, averaging 14.5 points and 9.7 rebounds for the Rebels, who advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament.
Buffalo Bills:
Da'Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech - There is little doubt the former Tennessee wide receiver has NFL-level talent. In fact, according to Bills general manager Buddy Nix, Buffalo would have had a first- or second-round grade on the enigmatic receiver if it was just about "football ability." Off-the-field issues, including at least three positive drug tests, ended Rogers' career at Rocky Top and forced him to finish at Tennessee Tech. The Bills are desperately looking for a complement to Stevie Johnson and drafted USC's Robert Woods and Texas' Marquise Goodwin, but Rogers has as many if not more physical gifts than those two second-day players.
Carolina Panthers:
Robert Lester, S, Alabama - Lester is another player who probably peaked a little too early while at Alabama, snaring eight interceptions as a sophomore before finishing up with six over his final two seasons with the Crimson Tide. Lester has NFL-caliber size and length with solid ball skills, but he isn't the speediest guy in the world and often takes bad angles to the ball. That said, he was a draftable prospect and the Panthers aren't exactly loaded at safety.
Chicago Bears:
C.J. Wilson, CB, North Carolina State - A three-year starter at the college level, Wilson is raw and was suspended for the first four games of 2012 for disciplinary reasons, but he was clocked twice at 4.34 seconds in the 40 at his pro day. The Bears love Wilson's athleticism and need depth at the cornerback position.
Cincinnati Bengals:
Onterio McCalebb, CB, Auburn - McCalebb was a dynamic offensive weapon for Auburn but is making the move to cornerback at the pro level. That's all white noise, though. McCalebb's true calling may be kick returner, where his long speed could be a difference maker in tilting the field for the Bengals.
Cleveland Browns:
Braxston Cave, OC, Notre Dame - Cave was perhaps the third- best center in this draft class and probably a better prospect leaving South Bend than John Sullivan, who has developed into one of the NFL's best over the past two seasons. Cave is also versatile enough to contribute at guard, giving him a better opportunity to stick.
Dallas Cowboys:
Brandon Magee, LB, Arizona State - The Cowboys obviously think Magee is this year's Vontaze Burfict, another Sun Devil who started 14 games for Cincinnati in 2012 and finished with a team-leading 127 tackles after going undrafted. Magee, who received a $70,000 first-year guarantee from the Cowboys to sign, is an instinctive linebacker who needs to improve his physicality and take on blockers a little more.
Denver Broncos:
Aaron Hester, CB, UCLA - Hester, a four-year starter at UCLA, is the type of long and lengthy corner teams are attracted to these days. He's a solid athlete who needs to do a better job tracking the ball when it is in the air.
Detroit Lions:
Joseph Fauria, TE, UCLA - Fauria is the nephew of former NFL tight end Christian Fauria, who played 13 NFL seasons. Joseph started his college career at Notre Dame but transferred to UCLA, and his 6-foot-7 frame helped him develop into one of the top red zone threats in the nation. The Lions need depth behind Brandon Pettigrew so Fauria should get his shot.
Green Bay Packers:
Jake Stoneburner, TE, Ohio State - Stoneburner is a versatile player who has spent time at wide receiver, fullback and tight end. He has solid receiving skills and looks like a possible replacement for Tom Crabtree, who signed with Tampa Bay in free agency.
Houston Texans:
Cierre Wood, RB, Notre Dame - The Texans aren't exactly starving for help at running back with Foster in his prime, but Wood is the type of back who excels in Houston's blocking scheme, a plant his foot, one- cut kind of guy who was pretty productive for a solid program.
Indianapolis Colts:
Sheldon Price, CB, UCLA - Some had Price pegged as a third-round pick and like his teammate Hester, Price has the height and length that are en vogue in the NFL right now. Previous knee issues may have scared some teams off, but Price looks like a prototypical outside corner who has the long arms to press and knock away passes down the field.
Jacksonville Jaguars:
Matt Scott, QB. Arizona - The only competition David Caldwell brought in for embattled incumbents Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne was undrafted read-option threat Scott along with Aaron Rodgers' far less talented kid brother, Jordan Rodgers of Vandy. Scott needs to improve his accuracy but has the arm strength and mobility to be a dual threat QB option.
Kansas City Chiefs:
Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee - Bray has as much talent as any quarterback in this draft, but the intangibles were lacking with the Volunteers. If his head is on straight, and granted that's a big if, it's not hard to argue that Bray has more going for him moving forward than the lone signal-caller selected in the first round, E.J. Manuel.
Miami Dolphins:
Alonzo Highsmith, LB, Arkansas - The son of former NFL running back (and current Green Bay Packers scouting executive) Alonzo Highsmith, the Arkansas product is probably never going to be an NFL linebacker, but in a game which is becoming more specialized by the day, Highsmith figures to fit in as a standout special teams player like a Heath Farwell.
Minnesota Vikings:
Zach Line, RB, SMU - The Vikings hardly need another running back with Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart on hand, but Line is an interesting fullback/halfback hybrid, a one-cut runner who could be a load as a situational or goal line option.
New England Patriots:
Cory Grissom, DT, South Florida - Stephen Neal was a two-time NCAA wrestling champion at Cal State-Bakersfield before turning to the NFL and becoming a more-than-competent right guard who lasted nearly a decade in Foxboro. Grissom isn't nearly as decorated as a grappler, but he was a star high school wrester and may have the hand skills and leverage to help on the interior of the defensive line.
New Orleans Saints:
Chase Thomas, LB, Stanford - Thomas is quite simply the best undrafted player in this year's pool. Speed is the reason teams passed over Thomas again and again, but he is just as instinctive as Manti Te'o and his ability to key and diagnose before others will almost assuredly help him develop into an NFL starter down the line.
New York Giants:
Marcus Davis, WR, Virginia Tech - Davis was a draftable commodity who lacked consistency at the college level, although he did record 51 catches for 953 yards in 2012, his first year as a full-time starter with the Hokies. Davis is a raw route runner who has the size/speed ratio which will make a team wait on him.
New York Jets:
Mike Shanahan, WR/TE, Pittsburgh - Shanahan is another hybrid type who projects as a weapon from the slot or in the red zone. The All-Big East second-team honoree doesn't have the speed to play on the outside but should be a tough matchup for any linebacker or corner inside because of his 6-5 frame.
Oakland Raiders:
Adrian Bushell, CB, Louisville - Bushell started his college career at Florida, so you know he has some raw skills. A 2011 and 2012 All- Big East selection, Bushell plays with confidence and has the versatility to play both inside and outside the numbers.
Philadelphia Eagles:
Brad Wing, P, LSU - The Eagles brought in Donnie Jones to be their punter this season, but it might not be a bad idea to keep Wing around on the practice squad. The Australian punter has the natural ability to deaden the ball inside the 10 and almost assuredly will be punting in the NFL at some point.
Pittsburgh Steelers:
Anthony Rashad White, DT, Michigan State - White is a strong wide body with thick arms and legs, best-suited as a two-down anchor type in the middle of the defensive line.
San Diego Chargers:
Kwame Geathers, NT, Georgia - A monster of a man who actually carries about 350 pounds pretty well, Geathers is another potential two-down run-stuffer who can hold the point of attack. He has a long way to go, but if Geathers learns to play with more leverage at the pro level, he could be an elite run-stopper.
San Francisco 49ers:
Lawrence Okoye - Okoye was a British Olympian as a discus thrower and also has experience as a rugby player. The 6-5, 310-pound Okoye worked out at the Super Regional Combine in Dallas and opened many eyes by running a mind-blowing 4.78 40-yard dash. He will be looked at as a defensive lineman and San Francisco certainly needs depth there.
Seattle Seahawks:
Ray Polk. FS, Colorado - Yeah, the Seahawks secondary is already loaded, but Polk has the kind of speed which can allow a defense to drop the other safety down into the box and give a single-high look without hitting the panic button. On the downside, Polk isn't the most intimidating safety and hasn't shown a ton of ball skills.
St. Louis Rams:
Jonathan Stewart, ILB, Texas A&M - A tall inside linebacker, Stewart isn't all that instinctive, but he will aggressively attack the football when he does diagnose where it's going. Stewart is also a smart player who has the ability to get his teammates lined up correctly pre-snap.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
Deveron Carr, CB, Arizona State - The Bucs gave Carr a $15,000 signing bonus, so they think a lot of him. He spent two months in Florida preparing for the Sun Devils' pro day, lowered his body fat and added about eight pounds of muscle. Carr also ran 4.39 and 4.40 40s, so he already has showed the will and work ethic to succeed.
Tennessee Titans:
Tom Wort, ILB, Oklahoma - Wort is undersized for the middle, but he keys and diagnoses well, is very quick in space and closes well. He also has an innate feel in zone coverage. The Titans need help at linebacker and Wort should be able to contribute on special teams.
Washington Redskins:
Xavier Nixon, OT, Florida - Nixon certainly has the requisite length and athleticism to be a starting tackle in the NFL but has never shown much consistency. It seems like Nixon relies a little too much on his reach and occasionally will whiff against top-tier pass rushers. With sound and patient coaching, however, Nixon could end up being a steal for the 'Skins.

NEW Zealand is ready to send help to cyclone-ravaged Samoa, but Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully says local authorities are coping "extremely well".
A state of disaster has been declared in Samoa after Cyclone Evan hit the island group, with officials confirming two people had died.
Local media also reported some children were missing after being swept away by the flooded Vaisigano River flowing through the capital Apia.
The cyclone battered Apia on Thursday, cutting power, causing flooding and damaging homes as winds over 120km/h lashed the islands.
Mr McCully says none of the dead are New Zealand citizens.
He says the situation in Samoa remains "extremely serious", with big winds and extensive flooding causing widespread damage.
New Zealand High Commission staff are visiting evacuation centres in Apia, but Mr McCully says everything is operating "as well as you'd expect under the circumstances".
He says Samoan authorities haven't asked for any support from New Zealand at this stage.
"We've offered and are prepared to provide whatever is going to be required at short notice, but they seem to be coping extremely well."
The Red Cross receives funding from the New Zealand government to have relief supplies like blankets, food and emergency health supplies on hand in Samoa in readiness for situations of this sort.
Mr McCully says the Red Cross is capable of dealing with up to 2000 families and there is no pressure on their resources at this point.
The latest weather information indicates the cyclone won't return over Samoa, as was earlier forecast.
However, Mr Cully says Tonga and Fiji could be next in line for a battering.

Parents worried their teenage children are planning to join radical groups overseas will be able to ask for their passports to be removed under new measures announced by the Prime Minister today.
David Cameron will also unveil plans to treat those convicted of terrorist offences in the same way as sex offenders and automatically ban them from working with children.
The measures are part of a new 'counter-extremism strategy' attempting to stop young British Muslims coming under the influence of Islamic State and other terror organisations.
Just last week, West Yorkshire Police raised concerns that Bradford couple Imran and Farzana Ameen and their five children, aged five to 15, could be heading to Syria after taking one way flights to Turkey.
Earlier this year, the Dewsbury family of 17-year-old Talha Asmal said they were "utterly devastated" after he carried out a suicide bombing in northern Iraq.
The Prime Minister said: "I have said before that defeating Islamist extremism will be the struggle of our generation. It is one of the biggest social problems we need to overcome.
"We know that extremism is really a symptom; ideology is the root cause – but the stakes are rising and that demands a new approach. So we have a choice - do we choose to turn a blind eye or do we choose to get out there and make the case for our British values.
"The government's new Counter-Extremism Strategy is a clear signal of the choice we have made to take on this poisonous ideology with resolve, determination and the goal of a building a greater Britain.
"And a key part of this new approach is going further to protect children and vulnerable people from the risk of radicalisation by empowering parents and public institutions with all the advice, tools and practical support they need."
According to police figures, over the past year 56 of the 338 counter-terrorism arrests made have involved people under 20 and earlier this month a 15-year-old boy from Blackburn became the UK's youngest convicted terrorist.
The Government announced in July that it would make it possible for parents to ask for the authorities to remove the passports of under-16s if there were concerns they could head overseas to join terror groups.
Downing Street said "several" teenagers had since been "protected" and today's announcement will extend the power to 16 and 17-year-olds.
The Government's plan to tackle extremism follows the Prime Minister's promise earlier this month that he would embark on major social reforms over the next five years including confronting the "diseased view of the world" that was persuading British youngsters to join terror groups.
He has already promised Madrassas - Islamic religious schools - will be closed if they teach intolderance.

Hello guys...
You see, I've seen many, many variations of a pass where the card goes to the top. Since I was like 12 (I'm 41 now)
I saw and tried the classic pass and others. I liked The Brick Pass (Pandrea) a lot and when I see Brad Christian doing the passes in his videos I really love them.
But last night I was just playing with my cards and discovered a way to have the card selected from the middle, where the spectator places it to the top in the most simple and easy and clean way that I'm sure there must be something similar to it.
Could you please list all the passes (to the top of the deck) that you know so that I can see if there is something similar to what I figured out last night?
Thanks everyone.

BLOOD CHOLESTEROL INCREASED and EffexorPatientsVille
BLOOD CHOLESTEROL INCREASED Symptoms and Causes
What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that's found in all the cells in your body. Your liver makes cholesterol, and it is also in some foods, such as meat and dairy products. Your body needs some cholesterol to work properly. But if you have too much cholesterol in your blood, you have a higher risk of coronary artery disease.How do you measure cholesterol levels?
A blood test called a lipoprotein panel can measure your cholesterol levels. Before the test, you'll need to fast (not eat or drink anything but water) for 9 to 12 hours. The test gives information about your
Cholesterol numbers are measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Here are the healthy levels of cholesterol, based on your age and gender:
Anyone age 19 or younger:Type of CholesterolHealthy LevelTotal CholesterolLess than 170mg/dLNon-HDLLess than 120mg/dLLDLLess than 100mg/dLHDLMore than 45mg/dL
Men age 20 or older:Type of CholesterolHealthy LevelTotal Cholesterol125 to 200mg/dLNon-HDLLess than 130mg/dLLDLLess than 100mg/dLHDL40mg/dL or higher
Women age 20 or older:Type of CholesterolHealthy LevelTotal Cholesterol125 to 200mg/dLNon-HDLLess than 130mg/dLLDLLess than 100mg/dLHDL50mg/dL or higher
Triglycerides are not a type of cholesterol, but they are part of a lipoprotein panel (the test that measures cholesterol levels). A normal triglyceride level is below 150 mg/dL. You might need treatment if you have triglyceride levels that are borderline high (150-199 mg/dL) or high (200 mg/dL or more).How often should I get a cholesterol test?
When and how often you should get a cholesterol test depends on your age, risk factors, and family history. The general recommendations are:
For people who are age 19 or younger:
For people who are age 20 or older:
A variety of things can affect cholesterol levels. These are some things you can do to lower your cholesterol levels:

Bushkill/Smithfields Lions Club, in its fifth year of existence, is preparing for a visit next month from Lions District Governor Angela Mims, as it remains busy with community-based efforts.
Bushkill/Smithfields Lions Club, in its fifth year of existence, is preparing for a visit next month from Lions District Governor Angela Mims, as it remains busy with community-based efforts.
The club expects Mims to be impressed with the dedicated work of 13 members under chapter President John Siptroth, one of the eight charter members when the club launched.
"Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world. The 1.35 million members of our volunteer organization in 206 countries and geographic areas are different in many ways but share a core belief: 'Community is what we make it,' said charter member Marianne Glamann, Lions Club membership chairwoman. "Lions are known for successful initiatives in vision health, and our services are as diverse as our members. Lions volunteer for many different kinds of projects — caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding the seniors and disabled."
The club currently is preparing for its annual prom dress sale that will be held for the third year at Fernwood Hotel and Conference Center on 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 16. Prior to that, it was held at Saw Creek Estates' clubhouse. Proceeds go to Safe Haven of Pike County.
Although Lions Clubs everywhere, including the ones in Monroe County in Mount Pocono, Stroudsburg, the West End and one in nearby Pike County in Milford, have a platform for visual acuity that includes collecting used eyeglasses, the Bushkill/Smithfields chapter helps with other causes, such as the gown dress sale and other fundraisers.
For instance, the Lions Club raised $2,000 for Joey's Eagles by running a concession stand during a Mountain Laurel Performing Arts Center concert over the summer.
For now, the focus is on the prom dress sale. The proceeds from the sale will be presented to Safe Haven of Pike County, which offers services to individuals affected by domestic violence. Last year's event netted $200 for Safe Haven. Dresses are sold from $5 to $25, some new and some slightly used.
"Considering prom dresses sell for well over $100 at the retail level, this is a benefit not only to Safe Haven but to those who purchase the dresses. We also have some dresses that may be suitable for mothers of the bride," Siptroth said.
Suitable used dresses may be donated and dropped off at Wayne Bank, Route 209, next to Perkins during business hours.
At each of the monthly dinner meetings held the second Monday of every month at Pizzaro's Pizza Restaurant in Middle Smithfield, members give donations for Bushkill Outreach for a growing list of families in need. The Lions Club purchased items for families in need for the Christmas holidays. The chapter also is involved with helping Salvation Army and RSVP.
"It makes me feel good, too, being part of an organization that provides community service," Siptroth said.
"We are always looking for ways to support and give back to our local community through our service and fundraiser events," Glamann said. "The reward in knowing you helped a needy family by buying Christmas gifts, a child stricken with cancer and struggling through treatments or a young lady shopping for a prom dress."
President of the Lions Club, Jon Siptroth would not say whether he will run for another term in the April elections but said he plans to stay active in the organization as a member, which he does amid a myriad of responsibilities to other organizations.
Larry VanWhy is vice president; Donald Carr is secretary, and Paul Menditto is treasurer. Carr was president when the Lions Club launched, and Zondra Spence served as the second president before Siptroth was elected. Roseann VanWhy handles all collections for charities.
Siptroth, a former state representative in the 189th District, is longtime treasurer of the relief association of the Delaware Water Gap Fire Department, which earmarks state funds for personal protection equipment. He also is Smithfield Township Auditor and a board member for the Pocono Family YMCA, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters and the Monroe County Council on Inclusion, as well as a member of the East Stroudsburg Elks. He is on the Solid Waste Advisory Committee and the Monroe County Agency on Aging Committee.
Although it can be hectic, Siptroth said he finds a way to do his part on the organizations he serves and sees that level of commitment in many fellow members of the Lions Club.

Unconventional, imaginative, nothing if not audacious, "Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life" is a portrait of creativity from the inside, a serious yet playful attempt to find an artistic way to tell an emotional truth.
"Heroic" may seem like an odd word to attach to a man like the legendary songwriter and provocateur Serge Gainsbourg, a giant of 20th century French popular music but also a man to whom creating outrage and scandal was second nature.
Best known in this country for "Je T'Aime ... Moi Non Plus," the racy duet he recorded with British actress Jane Birkin (actress Charlotte Gainsbourg is their daughter), Gainsbourg is celebrated in France for the songs he wrote for, and the affairs he sometimes had with, beautiful women like Juliette Greco, Marianne Faithfull, Françoise Hardy and Brigitte Bardot.
But to writer-director Joann Sfar, a celebrated French comic book artist and musician who won the Cesar for best first film for "Gainsbourg," the songwriter's life is heroic because he lived deeply in his own imagination and did continual battle with the personal demons who shared that space with him.
Because of his own artistic inclinations, Sfar is well placed to provide this kind of portrait. Working with actor Eric Elmosnino (who won a Cesar for his performance), Sfar wants us to feel Gainsbourg's emotions as he feels them, wants to give us a report from within the mind of this gifted, tortured individual.
A lifelong Gainsbourg fan who knows the man's life inside out, Sfar has nevertheless subtitled the film, in its French version, "un conte," a fairy tale, to emphasize that it is emotional texture and not painstakingly literal truth that he's after.
So Sfar spends time on Gainsbourg's younger years and on the Jewish identity of this son of Russian-Jewish emigrants who was born Lucien Ginsburg in Paris in 1928.
The film's opening vignette has Lucien as a small boy being told by a small girl that he is simply too ugly, a feeling that would always torment him. A child during the German occupation, Lucien is properly introduced in 1941 as a cocky, precocious 13-year-old (well played by Kacey Mottet-Klein), so defiantly Jewish he insists on being the first person in line to get the yellow star Jews were mandated to wear.
On the way home from that encounter, Lucien walks by an anti-Semitic poster and is horrified when, in the film's boldest stroke, the bloated caricature on the wall comes to life and starts to follow him home.
That caricature morphs into La Gueule (the Face), an alter-ego who stays with Gainsbourg the rest of his life, giving bad advice and appealing to all his worst instincts.
As played by Doug Jones (the faun in "Pan's Labyrinth" who endured five hours of daily makeup application), La Guele's enormous nose, huge ears and terrifying, Nosferatu-inspired long fingers mark him as a truly fantastical creature who deftly epitomizes the doubts and insecurities that plagued Gainsbourg no matter how successful he became.
Despite his fears about his looks, as played by the compelling Elmosnino, Gainsbourg never had any difficulty getting beautiful women to pay attention to him, starting with fellow art student and future wife Elisabeth Levitsky (Deborah Grall), an acquaintance of Salvador Dali's. They used the great man's Paris apartment for their trysts.
Aside from his talent, what attracted women to Gainsbourg was his complex cocktail of personality traits, the way he could be almost simultaneously arrogant and insecure, shy and domineering.
Initially unsure about his ability, Gainsbourg began to find supporters, including Boris Vian and singer Juliette Greco (Anna Mouglalis). He began to write for pop star France Gall (Sara Forestier) but his most famous liaison was with the then-married Bardot (played with delightful sensual verve by Laetitia Casta).
Gainsbourg's longest relationship was with Birkin (the late Lucy Gordon). And his music continued to be adventurous and controversial, never more so than when he collaborated with Jamaican stars Sly and Robbie to do a killer reggae version of French national anthem "La Marseillaise" that he called "Aux Armes Et Cetera." When he played it in France, riots followed.
Though it's clearly on his side, "Gainsbourg" doesn't flinch when its subject goes deeper and deeper into alcoholism and bad behavior. Screenwriter Sfar's final word on his difficult, fascinating man is "I prefer his lies to his truth," his dreams to his reality. It's not hard to see why.

A bare-bones summary: A Malazan army, commanded by Dujek Onearm (guess how many arms he has), has been outlawed by the Empress herself for sedition. Finding themselves outside the imperial embrace, Onearm's host joins forces with former foes to face a new evil, the Pannion Domin. The Pannion Domin is a newly formed regime rebelling against the Malazan's imperial yoke. Ruled by a man known simply as the Seer, the Domin is essentially a band of religious zealots. Each citizen of the Domin worships the Seer above all else and would give their life to exercise his will. The Seer has an elite army comprised of professional soldiers and skilled mages, much like any other army in the Malazan universe. However, the Seer holds an ace up his sleeve... the Tenescowri.Let me say now that I think the story of the Tenescowri is one of the most novel and horrific I've ever read. Novel because I've never before seen its like, horrific because of its cold practicality. The Tenescowri is a huge, unarmed peasant army. The Seer and his forces are a swarm, sieging one city after the next. At each city, all inhabitants are forced to convert to the Pannion faith or be executed. Men, women, or children... it makes no matter. From this tactic, the Tenescowri ranks have swollen to the hundreds of thousands. The Seer uses this huge force in the initial attacks on his targets, throwing wave after wave of Tenescowri to break the ranks of defending armies. Such a huge, peasant army is a great asset, but it should also be a great burden to supply. Therein lies the genius of the Tenescowri. The Seer doesn't supply his peasant forces. They receive no rations whatsover, besides the flesh of all those they conquer. The Seer has produced a seemingly endless supply of soldiers who fight ravenously at every turn... to feed themselves.Oh yeah, did I mention the Tenescowri are led by a small band of elites known as Children of the Dead Seed? These "children" come to be when the female Pannions rape those defending soldiers they find dying or dead on the battlefield.I love this book.
I think I am on book 10, I loose track as I am rolling through them in me ebook form so not really paying much attention to titles. I find myself racing through A LOT just to get to the point, any point. His rambling over detailed style gets so old when all we want to know is what happens next. Maybe I am in a more severe state as I have read these 10 over the past month and a half so just want them over at this point. I also get extremely annoyed when these stoic Aes Sedai keep getting described when somebody mentions the dark one or whatever and they almost fall from their saddle, or puke or blanche and almost pass out. Really? These stoic powerful people get in cat fights and complain like 10 year olds, puke at the mention of a name and then they are supposed to be held in this extreme respect? Their stupid, petty arguing and tantrums annoy the HELL out of me! Especially our female stars of the book. Gets so old that they still act like little kids with all that happened to them. Figure in 10 books they would have some growth through their character arc. I am totally scanning the rest of the books in my limited time. I really could care less about the details and what food they are eating, I just want to know what they do and what happens, speed racer style.
