Hyundai should offer the third seat in all trim levels. With options such as the navigation system ($1,750) and Touring Package ($3,150) with a rear-seat entertainment system, our Limited tester topped out at $35,795 including freight.īut it’s really not necessary to spend that much to have a nice Santa Fe – although with the base GLS model, you can’t get that third-row seat. To get the third row, you have to move up to the midlevel SE model, which begins at $24,495.Īt the top is the Limited, with a base price of $28,445 for the front-wheel drive model, or $30,145 for the all-wheel-drive, model, which we tested. The 2008 Santa Fe starts at $21,495 (plus $750 freight) for the base GLS model with front-wheel drive and five-passenger seating. Prices for the 2009 models have not been released yet, and dealers are still awaiting shipment of the new ones, but still have plenty of the ’08s in stock.įor this report, we were provided the 2008 model, and except for the very minor changes mentioned above, the ’08s are the same as the ’09s. ![]() It’s also an inch wider and almost two inches taller, and its track is 2.9 inches wider. The Santa Fe is 184.1 inches long, seven inches longer than its predecessor. In the latest safety tests, the Santa Fe has earned the top five-star designation in front- and side-impact crashes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and has received the “Top Safety Pick” designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which conducts its own crash tests at a laboratory near Charlottesville, Va. Other changes include a power driver’s seat and universal garage opener for the optional SE Touring Package (which also adds the third seat, with climate-control outlets extended to those passengers), an available towing package on the SE and Limited models, and roof-rack cross rails standard on the SE and Limited, so luggage can be strapped on top when the third-row seat is in use, taking up most of the interior cargo space. The Santa Fe’s audio system now has USB and iPod/MP3 player auxiliary inputs, which allows for direct connection of either a flash drive containing MP3 music files, or an iPod or other MP3 player. As with those competitors, it qualifies as a crossover because of its unibody construction, which combines the body and frame into a single structure, giving the Santa Fe the ride and handling characteristics of a sedan rather than a truck.įor 2009, the Santa Fe returns mostly intact from last year, but there have been a few minor changes.Īmong them are accommodations for those of us who can’t go anywhere without our iPods or other MP3 music players. With the redesign, the Santa Fe now competes against the segment- leading Toyota Highlander and other popular midsize crossovers with three rows, including the Honda Pilot. That pushed the vehicle into the midsize class from its previous compact size. ![]() ![]() Hyundai introduced the second generation of the Santa Fe two years ago, taking the opportunity at that time to make it a bit larger to accommodate the third row of seating. Such efficiency has made crossover utility vehicles the family haulers of choice for many buyers these days, and the Santa Fe is among the best for value and fuel-efficiency. So when you consider the gallons-per-passenger-mile used by the seven-passenger Santa Fe versus a small car that holds just five people (and not very comfortably, at that), the Hyundai makes sense. While some people might complain when I suggest that a vehicle such as the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe crossover should be considered fuel efficient, with EPA ratings of up to 18 miles per gallon city and 24 highway, the fact is that this car does go a lot farther on a gallon of gas than the similar-sized, truck-based SUVs we were all buying during the past 15 years.Īnd with seating for up to seven people, the Santa Fe can carry a family that would have to use two small, gas-sipping cars to go anywhere together, burning more gas together than this Hyundai does by itself. With gasoline now at a national average of $1.66 a gallon, fuel economy might not be at the top of everyone’s list of considerations in choosing a new vehicle, as it was in July when prices topped $4.īut most of us understand that today’s prices – at a five-year low – aren’t going to last, and that we do need to consider gas mileage when we’re shopping for our everyday vehicles.

Instead, go to your personal profile, right-click on the background, select 'Copy URL' and paste it onto the search bar. Before we get onto those, you should keep an eye on Rocket League Tracker, an unofficial tool that provides thorough stats of your overall performance in competitive modes.ĭon’t worry about having to log in with Steam, though. It isn't an easy journey, but there are some tips that can help you to rank faster by playing more efficiently.

This is strictly for the items you’ll get at the end of a season, and yes, they’re attached to a Tier level as well. Once you start ranking, you’ll notice a new bar that displays yet another 10 matches under the name 'Season Reward Level'. But as you can probably imagine, falling from a Division I Tier will make you drop one Tier level. This gives you more ground to cover in case you get a few rough matches. It seems simple enough at first, but each rank (called Tiers in Rocket League) has four divisions, jumping from Division I to Division IV. Again, while winning is important, the obtained score based on your performance and highlights is key to succeeding.Ģ0 ranks await you, which are the following: Unlike Blizzard’s multiplayer game, these placements tend to be far more benevolent even if you don’t win most matches.

You will see a little bubble appear right away at the injection site. How do I take care of my arm after the TB skin test? When placed correctly, the injection should produce a pale elevation of the skin (a wheal). This injection is administered intradermally under the top layer of skin. The TB test is performed by injecting 0.1mL of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) into the inner surface of the forearm. It also cannot tell if the infection is latent (inactive) or if you have active TB that can be passed to others. A tuberculin skin test cannot tell how long you have been infected with TB. If you have ever been exposed to the TB bacteria, your skin will react by developing a firm red bump at the site within 2 or 3 days. The test is done by putting a small amount of TB protein (antigens) under the top layer of skin on your inner forearm. What is a Tuberculin Skin Test, TB Skin Test, Mantoux Test, or TST?Īll of these terms refer to the same test, which is one method of determining if you have ever been exposed to tuberculosis (TB). ![]() TB is usually only spread to others when it's in the lungs. When TB is in someone's lungs it can begin to grow. Once TB is in the air another person can breathe it into their lungs. In order for this to happen, a person must have active TB in their lungs that gets into the air through coughing, sneezing, laughing or singing. TB is usually spread through the air from one person to another. Active TB usually lives in people’s lungs but it can live anywhere in the body. Active TB disease can be deadly, but it can be treated and cured. Once a person has active TB they can spread TB to others. This can happen right after breathing in the TB bacteria or years later. About 5% to 10% of people who have latent TB will develop active TB at some time in their lives.Īctive TB disease: If someone has TB bacteria in their body and they start to become sick, it becomes active TB. There is no way to know if or when this will happen. The TB germ may remain sleeping in your body your entire life or it can wake up, start multiplying (growing) and make you sick with active TB disease. With latent TB, a person does not have symptoms and they cannot spread TB to anyone else. Latent TB infection: This is when someone breathes in the TB bacteria, but they don’t get sick. TB usually lives in the lungs, but it can be in any part of the body. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

TLS implementations other than OpenSSL, such as GnuTLS, Mozilla's Network Security Services, and the Windows platform implementation of TLS, were not affected because the defect existed in the OpenSSL's implementation of TLS rather than in the protocol itself. The report also broke the devices down by 10 other categories such as organization (the top 3 were wireless companies), product ( Apache httpd, Nginx), or service ( HTTPS, 81%).

Cooking BBQ should be a fun experiment with flavor and personal preference, so make both and see what your tastes buds like best. I always recommend trying both at some point to help you decide what is your favorite. Honestly, there is no right or wrong answer to this question, and this often comes down to personal preference.įor smoking, you can use either bone-in or boneless because smoking chops uses a low and slow method. One question I get asked often is whether you should by bone-in or boneless pork chops to grill or smoke. Both will smoke well and have plenty of flavor. Rib chops are the “traditional” chop sold at the grocer, but my absolute favorite for smoking is the center cut chop. For smoking, I recommend using rib chops or loin chops. There are slight differences in flavor, with many believing bone-in tastes fuller and sweeter due to the addition of the bone and extra fat in the cut.īone-in pork chops come available as blade chops, rib chops, sirloin chops, and center cut loin chops. Both bone-in and boneless pork chops come from this same muscle the only difference being whether the bone has been removed or not.

Generously rub on some seasoning, and you’ve got a simple, yet amazingly flavorful chop. Pork is delicious, and when smoking chops, you want to be able to taste the pork and smoke together. In my opinion, a simple pork chop doesn’t need a lot of fluff. They’re easy to make and only require a few ingredients. In fact, I’ll go as far as saying they are the BEST smoked pork chops ever.
