Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Agreement was much higher than disagreement that deer are properly managed in Georgia; nonetheless, there were substantial percentages in disagreement.
Agreement exceeded disagreement that landowners properly manage deer on their land in Georgia.
Respondents place a high value on deer management: overwhelming majorities of the general population (89%), hunters (96%), and landowners (88%) said knowing that deer populations are being properly managed in Georgia is very or somewhat important to them. Furthermore, a large majority of deer hunters (71%) indicated that they would support an increase in deer hunting license fees if they knew that the money would be used for deer management. The support for an increase in license fees evaporates when the money would not be used for deer management: 85% oppose an increase in fees if the money would not be used for deer management.
When asked if they support or oppose controlling deer in urban and suburban areas, large majorities of all three groups support doing so (79% of the general population, 89% of hunters, and 86% of landowners). There is not wide agreement on the method for controlling deer in these areas, however: substantial percentages advocate some form of hunting, but sizable percentages favor trapping and relocation.
In general, the GDNR received positive ratings, with large majorities of all three groups rating the performance of the GDNR as excellent or good. When asked specifically to rate the GDNR's Deer Management Program, the ratings are again positive, with excellent and good ratings far exceeding fair and poor ratings. Also, an overwhelming majority of deer hunters are satisfied with how well the GDNR incorporates hunters' wants and needs into the management of the state's deer population. Finally, a majority of landowners said that the GDNR does excellent or good at incorporating landowners' wants and needs into the state's deer management.
Despite the positive ratings of the GDNR, respondents more often think the GDNR should provide more, rather than less, deer management assistance to private landowners.
Respondents' perceived knowledge levels of the GDNR's Deer Management Program are fairly widely distributed, with hunters claiming the most knowledge, followed by landowners, then the general population.
Regarding deer management strategies, overwhelming majorities of all three groups (82% of the general population, 99% of hunters, and 96% of landowners) support legal deer hunting in Georgia. Most of that support is strong support. The support is also high when respondents are asked if they support hunting as a way to manage deer populations (82% of the general population, 98% of hunters, and 93% of landowners strongly or moderately support hunting as a way to manage deer).
As discussed above, there was no general consensus on the best way to manage deer in urban and suburban environments when respondents were asked in a follow-up question to whether deer should be controlled in urban and suburban areas. Respondents were asked about control strategies individually, as well.
Regarding strategies to control deer in parks and other recreation areas that traditionally been closed to hunting, there was more support for regulated hunting than for use of sharpshooters and professionals.
Finally, regarding deer hunting regulations that may have an effect on deer populations and deer management, there was much support for management to favor large-antlered deer and for allowing muzzleloaders to use magnifying scopes on their guns. There was less support for allowing hunting of deer over bait, and there was low support, relative to the other deer management regulations, for fenced hunting, either of white-tailed deer or exotic deer.
Regarding the making of deer management decisions, respondents value scientific information and the professional judgment of GDNR biologists; social concerns and political concerns are not considered important in deer management decisions.
Overall, respondents think the deer herd in Georgia is very or somewhat healthy (74% of the general population, 85% of hunters, and 79% of landowners).
Respondents, in general, think the deer population in their county has grown over the past 5 years.
Majorities of the general population (51%) and hunters (59%) think the deer population in their county is about right, but a little less than a majority of landowners (44%) think the deer population is about right. Substantial percentages, however, think the deer population in their county is overabundant (31% of the general population, 28% of hunters, and 44% of landowners). Indeed, for each group, the percentage saying deer are overabundant greatly exceeds the percentage saying deer are under-abundant. Mirroring these results, when asked if the deer population in their county should be increased or decreased, majorities of all groups said it should remain the same (51% of the general population and landowners, and 61% of hunters), although substantial percentages said it should be decreased; the percentages answering "decreased" exceeded the percentages answering "increased."
In follow up, those respondents who said that they thought the deer population in their county should be increased were asked about their support for increasing the deer population when five specific consequences were discussed. Three of the five consequences did not greatly erode support, with majorities in support of increasing the deer population, even if it means more damage to gardens and landscaping, even if it means more crop damage, and even if it means there would be more automobile-deer collisions. Support nearly completely disappears if respondents are informed that an increased deer population could result in less food and poorer quality habitat for other wildlife or in poorer health for the deer herd.
Those respondents who said that they thought the deer population in their county should be decreased most commonly gave as their reasoning a reduction in automobile-deer collisions. Among landowners, a large percentage cited damage to crops.
In follow up, those respondents who said that they thought the deer population in their county should be decreased were asked about their support for decreasing the deer population when four specific consequences were discussed. Majorities were still in support despite any of the consequences named: that fewer people would be able to see a deer, that fewer hunters would be spending money, that fewer wildlife watchers would be spending money, and that fewer hunters would be able to harvest a deer.
The general population (75%) and hunters (81%) overwhelmingly said that they have not experienced any damage caused by deer over the past 12 months; however, landowners are more divided, with 56% saying they did not experience any damage, but 43% saying that they did.
Regarding automobile-deer collisions, substantial percentages (29% of the general population, 27% of hunters, and 35% of landowners) reported that they or someone from their household had a collision with a deer in the past 2 years. Relative to other driving hazards, majorities of respondents say that deer are a minor hazard rather than a major hazard. Very low percentages said deer are not a road hazard. Careless drivers and drunk drivers are considered much greater hazards.
Majorities of all groups did not know how well the GDNR responds to property owner requests for assistance to reduce damage caused by nuisance wildlife; however, of those who gave an answer, ratings of excellent or good exceeded ratings of fair or poor, particularly among hunters and landowners.
Respondents are split whether responsibility for managing deer-human conflicts should change (from the GDNR and its use of hunting as a control means) in areas where urbanization has closed hunting access, although slightly more respondents said that the responsibility should change than said it should not change.
Finally, there is more agreement than disagreement, particularly among hunters, that municipalities that pass firearm ordinances, thereby preventing deer hunting, should be required to mitigate deer damage.
Regarding managing for a quality deer herd, it is instructive to first determine what deer hunters think "quality deer" means. Most commonly, deer hunters think management for quality deer means larger deer (64%), although a substantial percentage think it means more healthy deer (29%).
When all respondents were asked if they support or oppose management for large-antlered deer, hunters were the most likely to support, although support was still in the majority among the other groups. Indeed, majorities of all groups support such management: 63% of the general population, 87% of hunters, and 67% of landowners support management for large-antlered deer.
When asked about specific management strategies for quality deer, hunters are overwhelmingly willing to give up the chance to shoot small-antlered bucks while at the same time shooting more does for an increased chance in later years of shooting large-antlered bucks (83%). However, deer hunters do not support a regulation requiring that a deer hunter must harvest a doe before he or she can harvest a buck (52% oppose, while 38% support).

Ring in the New Year with a festive French-inspired party plan courtesy of the City of Lights.
Arden Photography
New Year's in Paris Brunch
Everyone loves brunch–savory eggs, smoky bacon, and something sweet covered with syrup makes for a great menu for any number of occasions! The inspiration from this party plan came from Paris–the City of Lights. The French really know how to celebrate the New Year so we've borrowed some French flair for this holiday brunch.
Watch Martie's Tips for a New Year's Brunch
- Arden Photography
Make New Use of VotivesMake use of your holiday lights and decorations–put shiny holiday ornaments into clear vases. Since Paris is the City of Lights, anything shiny and sparkling is perfect. Votive candles arranged on an inexpensive square mirror from the craft store adds that wow factor you want for your table.
- Arden Photography
Don't Toss the Tree Yet!If you want something really bold, cut a few branches from your bare trees and spray paint them white or silver. Once dry, cover with tiny white lights and hang them or arrange them on your table.
- Arden Photography
Set the Mood with the MusicPutting your playlist together can be one of the most fun parts of planning the party! I start the playlist while I'm prepping to get in a party mood–and when my guests arrive, the music takes them to another place! Make a playlist that includes plenty of French café music.
- Arden Photography
Use Store-Bought Items in the MenuStick with simple, elegant choices. And like the French, get some help from the market with baskets of fresh bakery items like baguettes and croissants. To finish the menu, add a simple cheese board with a wheel of brie plus bowls of fresh fruit, and chocolates.
- Arden Photography
Serve ChampagneYou'll need Champagne or something sparkling and festive–use whatever fits your taste and budget. Your food and beverages can pull double duty when you make them a part of your decorations, too. For example, use a pretty bowl to chill the bubbly and display beautiful glasses on a silver tray. Add a few candles and the result is elegant, shimmery, and sparkling–perfect for this party.
Arden Photography
The Menu
Stick with simple, elegant choices and choose easy recipes with a nod to French cuisine. French cheeses, bread, and champagne are all must-have items and can be purchased at your local grocery store or market.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I used different methods depending on the dog....
With one dog, I used a similar version of crating a dog....since I have no crate I would let the dog spend some time in her beautiful outdoor kennel which isn't so beautiful to her since it is void of human companionship when she's doing "time" for her "transgressions". Another dog, I would groom her when she chose to be a little hellion. I figured with the grooming approach, if she didn't enjoy being groomed then she would get the drift...that not simmering down and minding meant a grooming session was coming. Oddly, enough, that one rather enjoyed the brushes and grooming. I knew I was walking a fine line as I certainly didn't want to reward the dog for her obstinate behavior and promote it. However, it never resulted that way as I assume the distraction of a grooming session took her to another "place" while leaving her shenanigans behind her.
Mostly, I mentioned fair and evenhanded discipline in my original response and perhaps that is what ingrained the notion that I mean what I say and the dogs soon came to understand this fact of life. If it meant hooking her up to the leash and collar and having more physical control over her then that is what I did. I believe there is some merit in being able to have a dog/puppy on a down/stay which is what I trained my current dog to do at times when she was being an imp and choosing not to heed my original verbal commands. Granted, this took patience on my behalf but in a short time she learned AND whenever she was acting up, all I had to do was put her on a down stay and she mellowed out. I am not certain of this but a down and a down/stay has a bit of an effect on a dog which might place the dog in a submissive posture and mindset.....I could be wrong. When my brother in law would bring his dogs over and they'd all romp in the backyard if my bitch ever got too much into the pecking order behavior, I'd give a verbal command once....if it wasn't followed, I'd go out in the yard and grab her by the scruff of the neck, separate her from the fracas and put her on a down/wait for a few minutes and then release her. After a few times of this, all I then had to do was give the command and stand up from my chair and she would disengage....eventually leading to her not being uptight over any pecking order behavior because the "sheriff" didn't approve.
Look it, many breeds like a GSD are not "plug and play" dogs out of the box...you are well aware of this just like I am. Yes, distractions and diversion works at times but there are those times where I was unable to find a distraction and at those times I incorporated discipline. Yes, I know the shift has been to killing them with kindness and all that but personally I think that approach used 100% of the time for asinine behavior has it's failings just as using discipline 100% of the time has it's failings. You need to discover your dog's tolerances, likes and dislikes as well as what your dog reacts to positively and negatively. Once you start to dial in on these characteristics your particular dog has, I would recommend that you utilize them to your advantage and actually take advantage of these hence creating the upper hand which a leader will most always do. It does not mean being cruel, mean or abusive it simply means providing the proper stimuli to guide the dog in the direction you so desire. I am of the belief that dogs in general truly want to please their "leader" but in order for this to happen a "leader" must be established. Dogs and some humans seem to share this desire...as a strong, fair and capable leader does get the respect of many a human as well.
wyoung makes a very good point regarding "don't ask anything of your pup that you can't enforce."....maybe at times it is best not to attempt a correction if you are not certain you have the capacity to ensure the correction. One last thought...taking this notion one step further...I have heard the phrase " set your dog up for success" many times and it makes great sense to me. Giving a dog a command when the likelihood of proper behavior is marginal is the wrong way to go....oh, a lesson is being learned by the dog but not the one you want them to learn. Starting off with super high percentage odds that your dog will heed your request is definitely the way to go even if the command seems not needed....but once the routine is established with the easiest and most consistent adherence to your commands, you have a wonderful base to build on.
Kill 'em with kindness when they do as you request and let 'em know when they are being knuckleheads....
|When I was reprimanding my puppy, I always said "no" and then whatever else I wanted, like "leave it" or "drop it" or "pee outside" - depending on what he was doing that I didn't want. Then I'd give him a toy and praise him very well for biting on that instead, or rush him to the lawn to complete the stream (lol) and praise him for his good pee. I didn't expect him to know what "drop it" or "leave it" meant at such a young age, and without me actually teaching him those things - that came much later - but I did want him to get familiar with those commands. And I like my dogs knowing "no" means 'that's wrong.' But the main thing, IMO, is to redirect and praise as fast as possible, so they're not practicing the bad behavior.

Other than yoru tone and body language.. don't ask anything of your pup that you can't enforce.
So just an example would be like the command "come." Some dogs don't need the extra help, but other difficult ones, see it more of an option to. Use a long line and call him. If he doesn't come, pull him to you, and treat treat treat! (or play play play if that's more his thing). He doesn't have the option not to, though you are still giving him the opportunity to make the right "choice" Soon he'll realize he HAS to because he doesn't have the option. Not sure if this is an issue for you, but just an example.

Puppies have a very short attention span. A crate timeout just long enough for the puppy brain to reset is all that is needed when the other methods seemed to not be getting the message across.
Consistency and time and you will have a well behaved dog. Puppies are not unlike human toddlers in the sense that it takes time for them to "get it" and "get it right".
Patience, consistency and time is all you need.
Jelpy - Pwahhahaha, that really made me chuckle :P
SuperG - Thank you for that info how do I make him know I mean what I say? I think my body language and tone are right but he still ignores...
What do you do when she has no toy drive? I'm having the same problem but my pup hates all her toys. Except sometimes I can get her to redirect with water bottles but that's seldom

|Try putting a toy on a rope - it's easier to distract the pup when you have a toy that is moving all on it's own...
its been so long since mine was a little pup tart ...we redirected him with his fave toys .

In the year 2008, mentally ill children are being systematically locked up with violent adults at several institutions in Sweden. Lena Nyberg, Children's Ombundsman in Sweden, expressed her anger at these policies which directly violate the UN Convention on the Rights of Children. Article 37 of that document states, "every child deprived of liberty shall be separated from adults." However, many closed psychiatric departments across Sweden do not follow regulations and at several institutions children are mixed with adults, both systematically and in the case of emergency.
The most common complaint in such situations is that some children are too difficult to handle and thus cannot be placed with other children, but the newspaper, Svenska Dagbladtet, found cases in which mixing occurred due to lack of space or staff resources. Sofia Akerman was 16 years-old when her children's ward was closed due to lack of resources. She was relocated to an adult ward where "the atmosphere and milieu is not suited to children. Brutality is part of daily life in a completely different way to that within" a children's ward.
There is something wrong when a wealthy nation such as Sweden is unable to offer disturbed children safe and comfortable environments in which to work through emotional issues. Sweden is not a third world nation struggling to survive and it is important that its children be afforded institutional care that is commensurate with the standards of the nation.y

|Thank you for taking the time to reply. Reading what you've written seems like a Doh! moment, but its true. She needs time to overcome one issue before working on another.
Six months is exactly what it took my rescue to relax and stop being afraid. She was a stray I adopted from the shelter when she was about a year old. I quickly came to suspect that in her previous life she had been a tied dog with no exposure to the world beyond her chain.
At first, she was afraid of everything, and was afraid to try new things. I carried on matter-of fact, not making a big deal out of anything. She would even shy away from rocks, trucks, humming noises - growl at strangers, and try to run away at the sight of a stroller or bicycle. Then about six months later, she seemed to "click" that the world was a safe place, and she visibly relaxed, and all her fears turned into curiosity, and a desire to explore.
It was almost an overnight change, so be patient, and I'm sure your girl will make some great strides given time.
|It can take 6 months for a dog to fully settle into a new home and you are working with a dog with a bad previous history. I agree with Lucia. Give her time and try to spend as much time as possible, one on one, with her just hanging. Don't ask anything of her until you see her getting more comfortable in her new environment.
Thanks for taking her! Does sound like she was badly treated previously. I can see where you are wanting to build her confidence by getting her some training and fun rag chasing, but considering her mental state, I would step back and just let her be. I would not put any demands on her whatsoever, and that includes trying to get her to play. It might take months, but if she has the drive, it won't shrivel up.
I know it is hard because having a pack, you need to instill rules and expectations, but it seems the slightest expectation from you shuts her down, so you'll have to manage her environment so that she ends up doing what you want and she gets to build her confidence because she is making 'right' choices.
It will take a lot of planning to go through a regular day, but I think that giving her a few weeks or months "off" will have a big pay-off in the end.
My 1yr old..
It appears I cannot upload the video, but I have a new (January) dog, 1yr, who I got knowing she had issues. She was returned to the breeder because she "chased the cats." She has good genes, but was left as a backyard lawn ornament (likely after the snot was beaten out of her) and has developed OCD type behaviors. I'm trying to get to a point of working her in sport, though I doubt she'll ever title in anything now that I've got my hands on her (she came from out of state).
I have been trying to change her obsession of chasing flying insects to chasing a ball, and have had some success.. however, when I try to interact with her besides kicking the large ball, she shuts down on me. I've had her roll on her back out of fear when I brought out my puppy rag and she also demonstrated same with the first time with a ball on string. Obviously, too much pressure. From other behaviors she's demonstrated, it's clear downright abuse was done to her. If she doesn't know what to do, she shuts down. I have to make sure and be very clear at all times and show her what I want, so she doesn't have to make choices on her own (even in the house, where she carries a ball around constantly). Any type of corrections are forbidden to her.
She wants to play, I see it in her, she is just terrified of making a mistake. For me, with HER, it isn't about the titles, but just trying to teach her its ok to play this game with me. I am not going to force her, but I am trying to help her to overcome her fears. At the same time, give her a positive for the drive she is directing towards flies..
I have tried placing her next to my two that are trained, letting her see them bark and chase the toys. She did bite at the ball on a string two times, then shut down. She gave no warning, she just couldn't handle it any more. I left her be and went back to my others, a few minutes later she started barking at us. When I looked at her (while verbally praising her) however, she stopped barking and laid down expecting to be in trouble. I'm not a quitter, so I won't give up on her, but I do NOT want to stress her. I see this fly obsession, and she needs an outlet, and yet she's scared.. I won't even touch trying to do obedience with her (no compulsion from me, but her and leash equals stess so we don't). I'm not sure where to go from here, so I'm asking for help.
Just as a note, I'm running a mile a minute in life trying to get a list of things done (working my pack of four is on there), so my internet time is limited. If I have to choose between internet and my dogs, the internet can wait LOL. So, it may be awhile before I get back to this posting.
Thank you in advance for any help! And be brutally honest. All my previous dogs have been puppies, so I got myself into a challenge here, but God said this was a dog I needed.. or maybe she needed me? I'm not sure, but here we are.

Postgame Quotes •
Nov. 10, 2012
North Carolina 50, Georgia Tech 68
Coach Larry Fedora
Opening Statement
"It didn't feel near the same as it did last time we came off that field. It was pretty poor feeling, actually. We played poorly in all three phases of the game - offense, defense and special teams. Give Georgia Tech credit for what they accomplished today because they were the better team today."
On what happened with the defensive effort
"I don't have the answer for you right now. We'll have to go back and look at the film and see what was actually happening out there. We used two different fronts throughout the game, and I'm not sure either one of them had much success. We went with the 3-4 and a 4-3 and mixed it up throughout the game and whether they ran it or threw it, we didn't have much success or any consistency."
On giving up opportunities for Georgia Tech
"You don't want to give up seven completions for 208 yards, I know that, against a team that traditionally has trouble throwing the football. When you get guys, when they get their eyes where they're not supposed to be and you don't play with assignment discipline, you give them the opportunity to make some big plays."
On practice leading up to this game
"Practices were good. If I saw that coming, I probably wouldn't have shown up today. I didn't see that coming. We had really good practices. We had a lot of energy at practice. I had no idea."
On the third quarter
"We had a pick-two, and they turned around and scored on the very next play. Thirty points in the third quarter is what happened there. We just fell apart. We basically gave them the game and then had a chance to get back into the game down a score and we just couldn't get it going."
Georgia Tech Coach Paul Johnson
On the kicker, Chris Tanner
"I'll tell you who I'm really proud of, Chris Tanner, a guy who hadn't kicked, hadn't done that in a pressure situation. He did a great job for us."
On a crucial play in the game
"I don't know about any one play that sticks out. I think anytime we got a stop it was big. I know that. And to get a turnover and the stop...I was frustrated because we had the ball on the kickoff, and Chris Milton rolled around on his back, and to their (Carolina's) credit, they took it away from him. But he had the ball. I saw it happen right in front of me. But when they get in a pile, that stuff goes on. You can't get flipped over...they got him on his back, and they did a good job of getting it out.
On setting ACC scoring and points records
"Too bad we missed that two-point conversion. The kids played their butts off. They played hard, and they made plays. They made a lot of plays...Vad (Lee) with the throw to Robby (Godhigh). It was a good throw, and Robby made a play. Third down over on our side...it was third and eight that we ran a play into too many people and Orwin (Smith) made a play. He made the guy miss and got the first down. And when guys are doing that you stay on the field. You have a chance to be successful."
On the defense giving up 50 points
"It's like I said after the game, 68 is more than 50. Sometimes you win like that, sometimes you win 6-3. I thought they did enough in the second half to enable us to win. They kept playing, and that's what you've got to do."
UNC Player Quotes
LB Kevin Reddick
On Georgia Tech's offense
"I've played against it for three years, four years now. I think last year we did okay with it, the other years it kind of gassed us. You just have to be disciplined and that's it. The coaches were telling us all week 'do your job, do your job,' and guys didn't come out and do that today."
On the extra week to prepare
"Practices were going great. Everybody was hitting their man, whoever they had. I mean, that's practice. You have your look team, they give you the look, trying to get as close as the can to the real team. You get out there on the field, and it's just a game. Sometime it may deal with lack of experience."
WR Quinshad Davis
On his first 100-yard game
"It feels good to get it out of the way, but it came in a loss, so it kind of takes that feeling back a little bit."
On the Georgia Tech secondary
"They were playing a lot of cover two, and they started to press a little bit at the end. Other than that they were playing a lot of cover two and we took advantage of it."
On the offense's performance
"I felt like we did good, except towards the end we started struggling a little bit. Other than that I thought we did good."
CB Tim Scott
On his interception and touchdown
"We were just in cover two, but we disguised it a little bit, so on the snap of the ball I just took two shovel steps to make it seem like man on them, and then I just stopped and read the quarterback and that's when who threw the ball and I just jumped it."
On Georgia Tech's success through the air
"They're know as a running team, but when they're running, running, running, they're going to give you a couple play-action passes. When they did do so we were unprepared for it and it really hurt us."

By Rob Kelly
Gervinho says he is determined to work harder to improve his efficiency in front of goal.
The Ivorian forward has enjoyed an impressive first season in English football, and has contributed four goals in 35 appearances.
The 24-year-old is satisfied with how he has adapted to life at Arsenal, but pledges to improve his goal rate next season.
"I am happy about my first season but I know I can do better," Gervinho told the Official Arsenal Programme.
"I have scored and given assists but I also created a few chances that I missed. If I had been more efficient, it would have been even better.
"I need to work hard at training to become more clinical in front of goal. I'm not worried though.
"People say that the second season is always better for a foreign player but I don't think it will be much easier.
"Every game is tough for me because the level of competition is so high in the Premier League, and every time you have to be at your best."

Had a bit of time today and went over the data log quite a few times. Did you tune this car yourself also?
One bank is running pig rich and it looks to be missing. Are your plugs and wires all still ok?
What all are the mods done to this engine? It will make it a bit easier to read.
Also at frame 3196 your injector duty cycle is showing 554.4% on the same side its running rich.
I sent you a PM.
Do you have any data logs of when the engine was running good?
Engine has either a dead cylinder or severe misfire under load
1995 Camaro Z28 w/ T56 Powering a 1984 Jaguar XJ6
Hi guys,
Ugh, this engine has fought me every step of the way. As soon as it's driving and I'm moving onto the next step, some other problem rears it's head.
Here's the new problem for today:
This morning I drove it about 20 miles to work a job off campus, and everything was OK. On my way back to the office, i noticed the car started vibrating more in the lower RPM ranges while on the freeway. It almost felt as if I had a severe tire out of round, or something along those lines. However, the tires were brand new. I revved the engine a few times in neutral and felt that the engine had a vibration that wasn't there before, like it was missing. However it wasn't intermittent -- it was constant, like nothing is firing at all.
I pulled over, inspected the tires -- everything looked ok. I revved the engine in neutral a bit and it seemed a bit better. However, as soon as I got on the road under load, the vibration would be much more noticeable. I had to get back to the office so I drove the car back -- it made it back OK. I noticed that the RPMs seemed to be smooth enough at idle -- no HUGE vibrations, nothing more than usual anyways.
I took the car home and drove it around the block with TTS datamaster running. The results I got back were wierd:
Anyways, if anyone has any ideas of what to check for -- I pulled the injector clips and noticed that two of the cylinders seemed to have no effect when I pulled them off -- one POSSIBLY had a slight effect on idle, but it was hard to tell. The other felt like there was no change (these were Cylinder 1 & 4 respectively... cylinder 4 had the "slight" change.)
Any help would be appreciated -- i don't get why it would suddenly konk out like this!

"I loved the fact that I could customize the text to what I wanted to say, not be obligated to use the text provided. It was extremely easy to do. Overall, I was very happy with the invites I created and was even more happy when I recieved them in 2 days like they said I would."
"We ordered the invitations late but because of the rapid service at tiny prints we were able to receive our invites and get them out in time. Great customer service. They were very helpful and professional. I would definitely use them again."
"The color pink is lighter in person than what my computer screen shows but it is still a beautiful card. The paper is a nice weight and the font is crisp. I added a picture on the back and it came out beautifully. I would definitely recommend this card to anyone looking for a traditional invitation."
"Everything about this card is great! The design to the picture...I did the shimmer white which came out amazing! The only problem I had was with the font I chose...it was hard to read because it was too light...I would go with the provided font Tiny Prints use in their example!"
"Very pretty card for our baby girls' baptism. Plenty of lines available to add the details for the reception, etc. I also loved that I could add a sweet picture of her onto the back of the card. My sister called as soon as she opened it from the mail and said how beautiful she thought it was. I am very happy with this purchase, a very simple and sweet invite."

A fellow ballers Spire may have been stolen at UXP the other night.
Please be on the lookout for.
black spire (with the v and the part that says spire on it in blue center stripe is black) with an orange speedfeed w 3 fingers being white. Also the top part of the cone at the tip (by where the sensor is) looks like a little "horn" (probably was molded wrong or at some time tried to screw in the bottom screw a bit too hard)
Let's try not to let scum win.
Utah Ballers, please read... (especially ones who go to UXP)

Is Automation a Job Killer?
A recent segment on "60 Minutes" suggests advances in robotics and associated technologies account for why the economic recovery so far has often been referred to as "jobless." An automation industry association takes issue with that conclusion.
While ushering in a new era of efficiency, advances in automation technology are also limiting job opportunities as ever-more-sophisticated machines continue to take over structured, routine tasks once performed by people. That's the main thrust of "March of the Machines," an aptly titled segment from CBS news program "60 Minutes" that explores the transformational effect of robots and other automation technologies on the workplace, from banks to airports to manufacturing facilities. Two MIT professors quoted in the piece say this phenomenon is part of the reason why unemployment remains stubbornly high despite the rebound in investment and corporate profits.
However, the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), a trade group representing the automation industry, says the program's focus on automation as a job-killer is wrong-headed and one-sided. "We provided '60 Minutes' producers with several examples of innovative American companies that have used automation to become stronger global competitors, saving and creating more jobs … rather than closing up shop or sending jobs overseas," says Jeff Burnstein, the group's president, in a recently issued statement. "They unfortunately chose not to include these companies in their segment."
In fairness, the "60 Minutes" piece takes a broad view, and it does single out manufacturing as "an early casualty of automation that is making a comeback because of it." Likewise, the two MIT professors mention the issue of companies not being able to find employees with the right skills, even though they need fewer people as a whole. Still, in my view, there's more reason for optimism than the segment indicates. While manufacturing may never return to the employment levels of past decades, even a quick browse through this website is sufficient to find numerous concrete examples of automation playing a key role in keeping work—and the jobs associated with it—in the United States. The media and the general public need to understand that there are opportunities here as well as challenges, and for that, it's critical that associations like A3 and other industry representatives continue to make their voices heard.

Not really no. Your not going to hurt anything. Seems a little overkill maybe.
I have to keep my 1911 clean and well oiled or it won't function 100% with my re-loads. But tight 1911's are notorious for that. I would think you could get away with a lot less cleaning.

Brand History
Clair Omar Musser was a gifted marimba performer, conductor, composer, and marimba designer. He was even trained as an aircraft engineer. In 1930, he became the chief engineer and designer for the JC Deagan Mallet Instrument Company and in 1948, left to start the Musser Mallet Company in the Chicago area.
Musser created the modern Vibraphone design and expanded the line into marimbas, xylophones, chimes, and orchestra bells. It would grow to become the most dominant mallet instrument company in the world.
In 1956, Musser sold his business to Lyons Band in Chicago. A few years later it was sold to Dick Richardson who grew the company further by creating a partnership with the Ludwig Drum Company to distribute products through the same sales team. During this era, jazz vibe legend Lionel Hampton became a major influence for the Musser Company.
In 1965, Ludwig acquired Musser creating a "Total Percussion" company with mallet instruments and drums. Artists like Gary Burton arrived on scene and elevated the Musser brand to new heights.
With a potential shortage of rosewood used to make bars for xylophones and marimbas in the 70's, Musser would be the first to develop a synthetic bar material made from Kelon ®, a special blend of fiberglass strands. This innovation allowed instruments to be used in outside weather elements in drum corps and marching bands.
In 1981, Ludwig Musser was sold to the Selmer Company. Production of Musser mallet instruments continued to be made in LaGrange, Illinois outside of Chicago until 2013 when production was moved to Elkhart, Indiana. Musser today is known as the choice for "sound" by professionals.

Bring Back Fond Memories of Vintage Patio Furniture
Bellaire Retro Metal Lawn Furniture has the same traditional value, classic styling and cozy feel as the chairs your grandmother had back in the 1950s. Originally designed in1946 by the late Ed Warmack of Fort Smith, Arkansas, these Art Deco inspired stamped steel chairs were purchased by the tens of thousands during the booming years of the Post-War Atomic Era. Ed's colorful steel lawn furniture could be found on porches, in backyards, fronts of motels and around pools all across America. Their popularity extends today! In 2001, Torrans Manufacturing Co., LLC resurrected this original design and began making its line of this traditional lawn furniture to the specifications used by previous manufacturers, only better. Made from high quality modern materials, these timeless chairs are actually better made than originals from the 1950s. Heavy duty frames, stainless steel fasteners and high gloss UV-resistant powder coat all add up to the traditional value your grandparents would be proud of! Start a tradition with your family this outdoor season.

I payed $250.00 at our county fairs market animal sale for a roaster rabbit. It was delivered to my house dressed and wrapped, I cooked it and my wife wouldn't even taste it. It tasted great and I got to eat the whole thing. She grew up in the city and I grew up here in the woods eating cottontail ,snowshoe ,deer ,coon,bear, fish and what ever was eatable. To each his own. By the way, the kid I bought the rabbit from put the money in the bank for college. I feel good about helping 4H kids, I've purchased an animal for the last 20yrs. at our sale, paying way over market price to help the kids. We have a great bunch of young folks in 4H, polite,honest and hard working.
Thanks JP,I don't know if you have makket animal sales where you live, but if you do I would urge you to go. Every one who attends gets involved even if they dont buy or bid.Everyone get to yell, clap ,whoop and holler as the bidding goes on. The kids faces just beam when they are in the sale ring with their animal and the bids keep going up.I laid out big bucks for a turkey last year and my wife will eat that. I guess she thinks turkeys arn't as cuddly as bunnies.Eddie
We raised and butchered some rabbits years ago. Then we couldn't eat them. Guest we are softies when it comes to fuzzy rabbits. When I was a kid, we eat lots of wild rabbit and squirrel, because we were poor and dad was a hunter. I have a hard time raising something and butchering it, though.
We used to breed New Zealands for the children's 4-H fair animals and it was an experience. For anyone wanting to buy young rabbits for eating, contact your local Extension Agent who should be able to give you a few names of kids in the county who raise rabbits. To keep your rabbits producing well, one has to keep breeding them and if you don't eat them, well, that leaves an opportunity for selling to folks. Also, the kids who have some for auction at the fair, more than likely have some at home for sale. I have been butchering animals since I was old enough to heft an axe but I will tell you....rabbits are the hardest for me to kill! Something about the clean white fur and the stuffed animal appearance. It's not really an attachment to the animals as I find them about as dumb as chickens and most of them are not the friendliest animals. Oh, sorry to all you chicken lovers....I love them too but I still feel the majority of them are sort of dumb. If I could pay someone a dollar to kill each chicken, I'm afraid I would do it, also. I'm not squeamish at all, but the mess and the time is well worth the money. Not that I would trust the local slaughter house to kill and butcher in a clean manner! But if someone came to my house and I could kick back in a lawn chair and watch the whole process while someone else did it.....well, THAT would be worth a dollar!!! :-D
ooooo don't forget the blindfolds over theyr eyes :-D
Oh, JP, sorry to offend your sensibilities! :-D yep, I would sit back and watch....just to make sure they were doing it to my specifications, you know! :-* :-D

Lesley undergraduate student Polina Konyavsky studied and interned during a semester in England
Tuesday, July 03, 2012
Polina recently returned from London, where she studied abroad at Richmond International University and worked at an internship four days a week, all while living in a dorm in Kensington, one of London's most beautiful neighborhoods, a five minute walk from the famous Kensington Gardens.
"It was an amazing experience. Going abroad for four months you learn a lot about yourself as a person," said Polina, 21, who is majoring in Communications and will be a senior in the fall. She took the Tube (London's subway system) to work in the Westminster part of the city, where she interned at Lewis PR in the Millbank Tower along the Thames River.
"I learned a lot about what I want to do in my career and what it's like to live abroad - not just as a student, but as an adult," she said.
She took classes in Consumer Behavior and Contemporary British Culture in the evenings and Fridays, and she spent her weekends and days off sightseeing and traveling.
"There is so much to see in London and so many places to explore, and you can't see it all in four months," she said.
Polina is among Lesley's many undergraduate students who seize the opportunity to study abroad in countries around the world, from Guyana to Japan, or embark on programs like Semester at Sea.
"Study Abroad is popular at Lesley, and we have more and more students doing it every semester," said Claire Carroll, Study Abroad Director at Lesley.
Lesley students choose destinations ranging from traditional classroom study to field-based research and service learning.
"Study Abroad promotes personal growth, and one of my favorite things about working in Study Abroad at Lesley is seeing that transformation," said Carroll. "When students come back, I can see the change. Studying abroad makes people a lot more confident, and studies have shown it makes students more employable after graduation."
Polina explored London top to bottom, as well as many sites outside the city, including Cambridge, Oxford and Brighton. She also traveled to Amsterdam in the Netherlands; Paris, France; and Bruges, Belgium"As a person, it made me more independent," said Polina, who is a commuter student from Newton, Massachusetts. "I live at home so I never had to be on my own. Being 3,000 miles away from my family really put me in a new place where I had to rely on myself, and it was an amazing experience."

Hey, just wanted everyone to know that if you have not made arrangements to get helmet work done prior to today I will have to start a backorder list and do the work on an available basis. I appologize but the bench is at my cutoff point and I like to deliver as promised so to prevent delays please PM for a quote.
I will be happy to do work for anyone that needs it, it just may take a little bit due to work load.
I'm also getting a lot of MSH2's so I can't wait to see how nice these turn out.

Looking to buy Focus Wagon
Looking to buy used stock Focus Wagon for family car. Wanting Auto trans. Anything I need to be aware of? What years and trims are have the best reliability and economy? Thanks
Welcome to FF!
Moved to "Ford Focus & general car chat" for some quicker answers.
Here's a recent thread on a similar search:
06-07. 08+ Wagons were not offered.
I didn't say 05 because the first year there were some "problems". Not real problems, just that the improvements in 06 and 07 are worth finding one of those if possible. The ATX always has it's problems, but those aren't real problems- it's the same for all modern automatics, the shift solenoids can fail. This one has no more problems than others. Another issue is the wrong fluid being used by oil change places. I would recommend always taking the car in to a dealer for AT fluid/filter changes if you're not doing it yourself.
ALL Focus wagons have issues with eating up rear tires. This can be solved by purchasing and installing one of 2 parts. 1) Adjustable upper control arms which cost about $180/pr and are cheaper to install. 2) Adjustable camber bolt which costs about $14, but requires cutting a part off of the brake backing plate. Not a big deal really, the directions explain it all. After that the camber can be set to -1 and you won't eat up tires on the inside of the tread in the rear.
The specific issues that I referred to with the 05 are more of a matter of inconvenience. There is a long/hard start issue that is only in this YM. I've been dealing with it for 160k miles. I don't even flinch any more. I turn the engine over, if it doesn't start in 1 sec, then I stop, turn off, and crank again- it always starts immediately. If you don't follow that procedure, then you can crank for 10 secs or so, and sometimes it starts- sometimes not. It will always start when you turn it off and start a second time. This has to do with too much air being allowed in so the startup mix is not rich enough. It's worse in cold weather with a cold engine.
The second 05 only issue is that the thermostat is 160F instead of 194F. This reduces fuel economy, and makes it take longer to warm the cabin in cold weather. It was changed in 06 with the addition of a temp sensor in the thermostat housing. Brace yourself- for the 05 the thermostat housing and thermostat (one piece) is $175. For the 06-07 it is $225. Replacement requires the removal of the intake manifold as well!!! Fortunately I haven't had to change mine in 170k miles. In fact I haven't changed much in 170k miles and 9 years that is out of the ordinary.
Alternator went at 140k or so.
CV axles went at 120k
I replaced the battery at the same time as the alternator.
The serpentine belt was replaced at 120k with the alternator.
Coil boots ($5ea) were replaced at 80k, and need some now.
The belt tensioner was replaced at the same time because I'm nutty like that.
The radio went out at about 150k.
The license plate lights went out at about 90k or so.
Shocks were replaced for HP shocks at 50k when I put the SVT 4 whl disc brake kit on.
That's about all I can think of. There are things wrong with my car that haven't been fixed, like the shifter boot (5 spd) broke and I haven't installed a new one yet. These cars don't have the ignition switch problems of the 00-04 models.
OH... all Duratec engines have a problem that sounds like bad valves. Use a mechanic's stethoscope trick and listen to the intake manifold and the valve cover. You'll quickly find out that the sound is coming from the intake and the valves are super quiet. This is due to the "tumble flaps". Some people have had problems with the tumble flap shaft penetrating the intake manifold and causing a vacuum leak. I have not had that problem and my flaps have been clacking away for more than 50k miles now.
To repair, the intake manifold should be replaced for about $300 with a new intake manifold. You might be able to find a used intake for $100, but that's getting more and more doubtful in these later years.
I find these cars for sale all the time fairly cheaply because someone has gone through BS with a mechanic to repair the "valves". Of course, the valves never get repaired because that's not the problem. Eventually they find out that it's the intake and freak out because they've already spent so much on it. The car ends up for sale cheap. Find one of those, and you'll be set. Honestly, I can't tell you which tumble flaps will cause a no-run situation, and which won't. I can tell you that the tumble flap is too big to fit through the valve so it won't get sucked into the engine. I've never heard of one falling off anyway. There has only been one instance on this forum where bad tumble flaps caused a no-run problem where the intake manifold was cracked.
I think it's a just a good way to talk someone down on price.
I have an 01 and an 05 currently.
My 05 seems quieter to me, and the facelifted interior less chintzy. Just my opinion. I have all new OEM engine mounts in the 01, and the 05 still seems quieter.
I like the Duratec engine in my 05 better than the Zetec in my 01.
I have not had the hard starting issue the 2005 cars supposedly have. Never once has our 05 exhibited any starting issue. Not saying it doesn't exist, just that it has never happened to me.
Ours (05) has right at 99k miles and has a slight tick. I have a new intake manifold sitting on the shelf in my garage awaiting warm weather for installation. I could probably drive it the way it is for a long time, but I'm anal like that, so I'm going to replace it.
I would buy another 05+ wagon in a second. Earlier car...hmm, would have to think about it. Probably. I settled for the 01 even though I would have rather had the later style since stick shift wagons were so hard to find. The 05+ stick wagons seem harder to locate than the earlier cars, and an early stick happened to pop up for sale near me so I grabbed it. Was a right place right time kind of thing.
Lack of a timing belt on the 05+ cars is a bonus in my book. The powerband of my 05 seems better suited for city traffic than my 01. Seems gutsier down low. The Zetec, I feel like I have to rev it out more. Might be in my head.
Other posters are correct that the rear tire wear is an issue. More apparent on my 01 car than my 05. I have new adjustable MOOG rear arms for the 2001 that are also awaiting the nicer weather when I can work on my car in the driveway. Too cold now, and my garage too full of kayaks and bikes and motorcycles to make room for a non urgent repair right now.
My advice would be to buy the newest wagon you can find with the lowest miles and best history. They are all starting to age by this point, so the newer the better in general.
In my area, wagons are hard to come by used. When they do pop up, they sell fast and for a premium over the other body styles. This is what happens when hardly anyone has built a good small wagon for a while. The good used ones get sought after. Most manufacturers moved into crossovers and abandoned small station wagons. As time has gone on, small wagons have become harder and harder to find in good shape, and the ones that are left tend to hold value and or sell quickly. At least in my experience. On the coasts, where wagons may be easier to find, this may be less the case. Manual transmission wagons are like pink unicorns with three legs in these parts, but since you're looking for a slushbox, your search will be much easier.
If Ford sold a new Focus station wagon in the USA, I'd go down this week and buy one. But they don't, so it might be a Subaru or VW for me at some point when the 01 bites it.
I have an 07 wagon automatic with about 70k miles on it and I have had no real issues....couple of posts on this forum for minor issues but I havent had any big issues. Never had any issues with the rear tires but I have had the squeak issue with where the ebrake cables go through the mtela hoops...fixed with a piece of garden hose. Still has all original front end. I always ensure it is well maintained and under coated each year. For a smaller vehicle you can pack a lot of stuff in it.

Gun....more like Canon. I traded in my Adams Speedline F11 for the RocketBallz 10.5 regular shaft. I am dead-on the fairway, +42 yards, than I was with the speedline. Our league starts soon, looking forward to cutting my handicap with this monster.
I traded my T/M r7XD driver for this RBZ and was very disappointed. I was hitting my old driver straight as it was draw biased. The RBZ, also draw biased, gave me back a wicked fade. I will say this, I was hitting that fade very long. This is an "adjustable" driver and I played with all the settings and just could not get it straight. Global Golf is real good with the 30 day playability and I have sent it back and replaced it with the R11s. Now that is an "adjustable" driver. Hello straight and long, glad to have you back! If you need to really adjust your ball flight, spend the extra $100 and get the R11s. You'll be glad you did.
Yes great driver for me.Added 15 yards an straight, players in my 4 some have hit it an love it, one player has order one.
Just received this club Saturday, 6/29/13, and took it out on Monday to the range. I just started playing the game of golf about 6 months ago, and just as a measuring stick, I average ~250 on drives.With this club, which was ordered in "very good" condition, it came in the mail looking like the previous owner had teed up on concrete and hit metal golf balls with it; completely worn down looking. Took it to the range thinking, "Oh well, it'll get like this eventually regardless" and noticed 2 things right away: 1) The club hits VERY straight for me2) I couldn't hit 200 yards to save my life! I was averaging ~150 on hits that FELT AMAZING, started off flying off the club face and seemingly just died.I've attributed this to the amount of wear and overall condition on the club I personally received, much more so than anything that would contradict the reputation for the RBZ driver! Either way, it's safe to say I was highly disappointed :(It's in the mail on its way back to GlobalGolf in exchange for the Nike VR-S driver. Hopefully my luck is better this time around.
Just received my 13 degree in excellent condition and was very impressed, almost looked brand new. Played 18 today and I was hitting 275+ and making it to the green in 1-3 shots, this club really feels great! The loft on it is amazing and the distance will wow you! Bag it!

Hi all,
I've been meaning to post this for a while now. There are so many people on
TDH with amazing talents in lots of different areas. As some of Art's and others'
threads show, these talents extend to photography.
I'm just hoping that some of the folks with photography skills will chime in and
give the rest of us amateurs any tips or advice in photographing our costume items.
I own a Canon SX 50HS 12.1 MP digital, but probably use only 5% of the camera's potential! :lol
Any advice on camera settings, lighting, backdrops, etc. would be appreciated!
Let's hear from the TDH shutterbugs. :thumbsup :)

Re: A patch of sun
@midgerock, hey of course, I know you're offering advice. There -is- a danger of a design becoming strange when you use a fairly realistic style but you're exaggerating something, but I don't think that's the case here.
If you're close enough to see cats, you can get they're a big cosy pile of happiness. Would it avoid any chance of a soccermom2012 misunderstanding and be more popular in an expressive, cutesy style? Probably, but I don't regret using real cat anatomy and behaviour. I hope it gives it some natural charm.

I don't know if Woot will allow your "lazy fill", but they won't allow more than 6 colors in a drawing. (With the shirt color, you can have 7)
Why not go onto one of the review threads, and ask for some help, so that your design, once you fix it, doesn't get rejected?
I voted for it as well. Hope it prints. Love black cats.

Sadly, no. I'm an "artist" only in the sense that I write - can't draw a straight line to save my life.
The image is from a print a friend of mine purchased a year or so back, and was done by a guy named Mike Maihack. (http://cowshell.com/index.php)
Suppose I can't blame you for jumping on the pop-culture bandwagon. People throw votes at the tried-and-tested and familiar, so it's become an increasingly popular tactic here.

Wow, Im really surprised at the drama going on...assuming it's real drama and not sarcasm drama? Im gettin' too old to tell, hah.
I dont see anything bad about this image, at least not as far as the cats appearing dead @_@. (though, have you seen cats sleep? Sometimes they do look like lifeless socks) I do think maybe the realism might be getting people. For a design this complicated, a tad less realism might have made the image easier to read from a distance. If you were to keep the realism, exaggerating the happy facial features might have helped a bit more too. These are just minor suggestions though. The composition is really well done, and the lighting is perfect. Spirit always hits these right on the head. I wish I had half the natural ability to hit them too! -struggles with both!-
