The U-M men's soccer team will square off against a pair of nationally ranked opponents this weekend beginning on Friday (Sept. 14) at 7:05 p.m. CDT by traveling to Milwaukee, Wis., to take on No. 17 Marquette from Valley Field and will follow up the trip with a home match against the No. 8-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Sunday (Sept. 16) at 2 p.m. Both opponents are 5-0-0.
The Wolverines are 0-1-1 against the Golden Eagles all-time, with the last meeting coming last season in Ann Arbor as the Wolverines fell, 2-1, in double overtime. Michigan is 1-5-2 overall against the Fighting Irish all-time. The last victory over Notre Dame came on Oct. 1, 2008, as the Wolverines defeated the No. 8 Fighting Irish, 3-1. Last season in South Bend, No. 22 Notre Dame defeated Michigan, 2-1, in overtime in a match that Latif Alashe scored a goal just 39 seconds into the game, but Adam Mena tallied a pair of goals in the match to propel the Irish to the victory.
The last time U-M faced two ranked opponents in a row was last season, when the Wolverines went 1-2 against No. 18 Indiana, No. 4 Akron, and No. 22 San Diego State.
The promotions for the Notre Dame match include a student tailgate for the match, with all students presenting an M Card receiving free pizza and drinks for the matchup. Additionally, a football ticket redemption promotion will be in effect, as fans can show their UMass football ticket for $2 admission into the match. Family 4 Packs will also be available and include four tickets, four hot dogs, and four drinks. They are available for purchase online up to five hours prior to the match.
Wolverines Knock Off Previously Undefeated Northeastern -- The Wolverines used a four-score outburst and a season high of 20 shots en route to beating previously undefeated Northeastern by a 4-1 count Sunday, Sept. 9. U-M used a pair of goals from Kofi Opare and a goal and a pair of assists from Fabio Pereira for the majority of scoring punch, while Latif Alashe also notched his second score of the season in the win. In total, U-M collected 11 points in terms of individual scoring, which is tied for the highest in the conference thus far this season. Tyler Arnone and James Murphy also collected points on the match for U-M in victory number two this season.
Offense Shines against Huskies -- In the win over Northeastern, Michigan had 12 shots at halftime, equaling a season high with a half to play. In total, the Wolverines had 20 shots on the match, as well as a season-high four goals, which are the highest number of scores since U-M downed Detroit, 4-1, on Sept. 14, 2011.
Finding Paydirt -- With eight goals in four matches this season, Michigan has already eclipsed the scoring total for the first six matches of last season. Michigan started off last season with a 1-4-1 mark while scoring only five goals in those matches.
The Starting XI -- Seven Wolverines have found themselves in the starting XI in each match this season, with four of the six being seniors in Latif Alashe, Kofi Opare, Etienne Lussiez and Brian Klemczak. Two sophomores also made the list, as Tyler Arnone and Adam Grinwis have received nods in the first four matches, while Luke Coulson is the lone freshman to receive the honor. Grinwis, Arnone, and Opare are the lone Wolverines to play all 360 minutes of match action this season.
Say Cheese -- The Wolverines have enjoyed a favorable record against teams from the state of Wisconsin in their history, as U-M is 14-5-3 overall against Wisconsin-Madison, Wisconsin-Green Bay and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Ten of those wins have come against the Badgers (10-4-3), while U-M is 2-0 against Green Bay and 2-1 against Milwaukee. Michigan has never faced Marquette.
Scouting the Golden Eagles -- Marquette (5-0-0) is the second straight undefeated squad that U-M will face, as the Golden Eagles carry a 5-0 ledger into the matchup at Valley Field, while Michigan is 0-1 in road matches this season after dropping the season opener to No. 5 South Florida. Eric Pothast leads the squad in goals with three and points with eight, while three other players have scored a pair of goals on the season. Adam Lysak leads the team with 10 shots, while Pothast and Axel Sjoberg lead the squad with two helpers apiece to provide the scoring punch.
Charlie Lyon has been the choice man in goal for Marquette, and has 14 saves and a 0.40 goals-against average to go along with four straight clean sheets. The only two goals allowed by the defense this season came in a 3-2 win over Milwaukee on Aug. 24 in the Milwaukee Cup.
Overall, Marquette has outscored opponents by a 10-2 margin and has outshot opponents 30-17.
Scouting the Irish -- Notre Dame (5-0-0) will enter the match ranked No. 8 in the country and will host the Michigan State Spartans on Friday (Sept. 14) prior to matching up against the Wolverines on Sunday (Sept. 16) at U-M Soccer Stadium.
The Fighting Irish are led offensively by Ryan Finley, who has four goals and leads the lead in points (9) and shots (24), while Harrison Shipp leads the squad in assists with three. Will Walsh and Patrick Wall have split time in goal, with Walsh collecting a pair of clean sheets. Each goalkeeper has made five saves on the season and allowed two goals against.
Overall, Notre Dame has defeated perennial powers Duke (1-0), Clemson (2-1) and Akron (3-1) this season. Four of the five wins on the season have come by one score.
ND has outscored opponents 10-4 on the season and outshot opponents by a staggering 95-38 margin.
Mencia Notches First Goal -- Mencia, who subbed on in the 29th minute, tallied the first goal in his Michigan career in the USF match and played 50 minutes in total. After struggling with injuries in the preseason, Mencia's lone shot of the night found the back of the net.
Since finding time as a substitute in the match, he has been a fixture in the starting XI for U-M, starting the last three matches for the Wolverines at left back.
Penalty Kick Prowess -- Junior Fabio Pereira converted his first penalty kick of the season against Northeastern in the 27th minute, marking the second successful try in his career. In his three seasons in Ann Arbor, Pereira is 2 for 3 on penalty attempts, with his first successful attempt coming against Kentucky last season in a 2-1 defeat.
Coulson Notches Points against Vermont -- Freshman Luke Coulson became the first U-M player this season to tally double-digit points in a single match, doing so against Vermont -- first tallying an assist on a Latif Alashe score in the 24th minute and then converting his own score in the 34th minute for three points in one match. He currently holds the team lead in points with four, as he tallied his first helper of the season on a Dylan Mencia score in the opening match against South Florida.
Wolverines Split Home Opening Set -- The Wolverines opened up their 2012 home slate on Aug. 31 with a 3-0 defeat of the Vermont Catamounts on goals from Latif Alashe, Luke Coulson and T.J. Roehn. In the Sunday match against Cleveland State on Sept. 2, the Wolverines held the Vikings scoreless and outshot the squad in the first half by a 7-6 margin but conceded three goals in the second stanza the fall by the 3-0 count.
U-M Falls at No. 5 South Florida in Season Opener -- After a scoreless first half against the Bulls, junior Dylan Mencia netted his first career score off a deflection from a shot by freshman Luke Coulson in the 47th minute, giving the Wolverines a 1-0 advantage. However, a pair of scores by USF less than a minute apart in the 65th and 66th minutes gave USF the lead for good.
Newcomers Make Maize & Blue Debut in 2012 -- Four Wolverines made their career debuts in Maize and Blue as junior transfer T.J. Roehn, redshirt freshman Colin McAtee and true freshmen Luke Coulson and James Murphy all saw action at USF, with McAtee, Coulson, and Murphy finding the starting 11. Against Vermont, Jason Stacy made his collegiate debut, playing 16 minutes, while Jack Brown made his debut against Northeastern, logging 15 minutes of action against Northeastern.
Wolverines Return Scoring Punch -- Michigan returns all but three of its 2011 goal scorers this season, along with eight starters, with the biggest loss being two-year starter and holding midfielder Adam Shaw. Additionally, 12 letterwinners return to team up with eight newcomers in the 2012 version of the U-M program.
Opare Named to College Sports Madness Preseason All-Big Ten Squad -- Senior defender Kofi Opare has been named to the CollegeSportsMadness.com Preseason All-Big Ten squad. Opare, who was named to the All-Big Ten second team last season, has started 50 matches in his three seasons and scored a pair of goals last season off set-pieces.
Alashe's Streak -- Senior Latif Alashe is riding a consecutive start streak of 67 matches heading into the weekend, having never missed a match in his Maize and Blue career. After playing more of a wide midfield role the past several seasons, Alashe will also see time as a central midfielder in the 2012 campaign.
Grinwis Named PDL Goalkeeper of the Year -- Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Adam Grinwis was named the Professional Development League Goalkeeper of the Year as well as Rookie of the Year on Aug. 6. He also earned a spot on the all-league and all-central conference teams for his summer club squad, the Michigan Bucks.
Grinwis led the squad to an 8-0-1 record when in goal and compiled five clean sheets. Additionally, he allowed a league-low four goals on the season and led the Bucks to a 3-1 mark in U.S. Open Cup matches. The returning Michigan starting goaltender also turned away 50 shots on the year.
New Coaching Staff Takes Shape -- Former Providence College head man Chaka Daley was named the second head coach in program history Dec. 23, 2011, after 12 seasons at his alma mater.
In the past seven seasons, he guided the Friars to a 72-47-21 mark, and led his alma mater to seven consecutive winning seasons and five NCAA Tournament appearances. The Friars hosted NCAA Tournament match-ups during the 2010 and 2011 campaigns. He owns a career record of 90-111-27 heading into his 13th season as a head coach.
Upon his appointment as head coach, Daley hired former Columbia assistant Tommy McMenemy, as well as former Columbus Crew Youth Coach Ian Gordona. Additionally, Daley tabbed Jhojan Obando, a former Providence College standout goalkeeper, as volunteer assistant coach.
New Kit Features -- This season's kits feature new wrinkles, most notably on the back and arm of the jersey. Just under the back collar of the jersey is a stitched in 'Hail to the Victors,' while block 'M's are located in the bottom of each digit on each player's back. Additionally, the right arm features a stitched-on patch of a Big Ten logo.
Trio of Captains Named -- Latif Alashe, Kofi Opare and Brian Klemczak were named captains by head coach Chaka Daley. Klemczak will be serving as a captain for the second time after garnering the honor for the first time in 2011. Alashe and Opare will each wear the armband for the first time this season. Klemczak will hold the honor of bearing the captains armband during each match if all three are on the field at once.
Wolverines in the MLS -- A pair of former Wolverines have seen action in Major League Soccer matches this season in Justin Meram and Soony Saad, both of whom starred on the 2010 squad's magical run to the College Cup. Meram, who plays for the Columbus Crew, has played in 15 matches with nine starts, and has tallied a trio of scores on the season. Additionally, he has chipped in one assist and has 22 shots on the season.
Saad has seen action in nine matches this season with a pair of starts, and has fired seven shots with two on goal. He has been a mainstay in the Sporting KC reserves, starting all seven matches and tallying two goals as well as one assist.

Ok, I had a similar issue with my E46 that drove me crazy for months before resolved it. It sounded like a a very faint whiny dental drill and I really thought it was electronic interference or something for sure. It didn't change with revs or anything just that high pitched noise. I finally tracked it down to a leaky air intake elbow. I highly doubt it's cracked from age already on an F10 like it would on a well flogged E46 but perhaps it's loose enough to make the noise but not enough to kick off an error code with the MAF sensor. Just something to consider.

Driving in Mexico Safety Tips - RV, Cars, Motorcycles
How and why to drive your car, motorcycle or RV in Mexico safely
Driving your car, Motorcycle, RV or auto and trailer to Mexico? Here are driving tips and safety tips about driving in Mexico by someone who drives Mexico.
Driving in Mexico is the best way to truly experience Mexico. Honestly, driving in Mexico is very safe. I've driven Mexico since '68 (19, not 18). Many of those who tell you it's not safe to drive your vehicle to Mexico have never driven or drove once and had a bad experience. I've driven in Los Angeles and had a bad experience, but don't warn you not to drive in L.A. (though praying helps).
First of all, driving to Mexico is still safe and recommended. If you write to ask me that question, I won't bother to answer as it means you did not read my site. I take a couple of long driving trips in Mexico every year, usually 3,000 to 5,000 miles in different parts of the country. I check my car when I get back and have yet to find one single bullet-hole. Now and again, I end up going with a client that I feel good about.
You will find several different products relating to driving in Mexico (maps, road logs, Mexico travelogues or roadlogs) on my shopping cart, as well as a description of my trip-planning services to help you get the most out of a driving trip to Mexico. Mexico auto insurance is available here.
Before you set out on a road trip to Mexico, you probably need to buy some 'stuff.' I always do. So head on over to Amazon and get your automotive road trip needs filled.

I've gotten some of my best information about out-of-the-way hot springs and little-known hideaways because I was driving by asking Pemex attendants, waiters at highway restaurants and truck drivers. When you drive, you really see Mexico. These driving tips for Mexico will help you have a safe and enjoyable trip. Driving safely in Mexico is a matter of defensive driving (gringos shouldn't try to drive offensively). But, the biggest safety tip of all is to get Mexican auto insurance from one of the I recommend. Border crossing times for all gateways are at the It's a cool driver's tool, but useful only to give you an idea of what times are busiest at what Mexican US border crossings.
RV Driving In Mexico
Thousands of RV's and trailers drive to Mexico every year. Thanks to the toll roads, driving your RV in Mexico is not much different than driving in the USA -- it just costs more. There is NO Ultra low sulfur diesel in MOST of Mexico. See more about diesel in Mexico here. There are plenty of RV parks in on the Pacific Coast of Mexico and in colonial Mexico. There aren't as many RV parks on the Gulf Coast of Mexico, or even in the Yucatan, although there are enough.
Night Driving
Don't drive at night on the two-lane roads. There is a lot of loose livestock and I have yet to see a cow equipped with tail lights. My tip for driving at night is - DON'T. On the toll roads (which are as good as or even better than those in the U.S. or Canada), I have relaxed my stance on night driving. So, if you are sticking to the toll roads, I suppose you could drive an hour or so after dark. However, although driving in Mexico is generally safe, remember that bad people like to move under cover of darkness in any country. Also the Green Angels are home in bed, so there is no help except for a kind passer-by. I have found folks to be a lot kinder in daylight hours. So, if you want to be an idiot and drive all day and night, go ahead. Just don't ask me if it is alright. It is not. It is stupid.
Left Turn Signals
This does not apply on toll roads, where international rules of the road pretty much apply. On the open road (meaning libre two-lane highways), a left turn signal is an invitation to the guy behind you to pass. Trucks and buses frequently turn their left blinker on to guide you around them. I trust them, but use common sense. Sometimes they have optimistic views of your acceleration capabilities. Don't use your left turn signal on a two lane road when you are about to pass. You might get hit. My advice -- use your signals as you are used to on toll roads and in cities, but don't expect the other guy to do the same.
Left Turns
When there is a left turn lane, there will usually be a left turn arrow. Look for 4 lights on signal. You MUST wait for arrow.
Right Turns
Right on red is usually OK, unless there is a sign saying that it is not. I have been told by many local people that it is legal. I have asked a few cops and they have said, "Yes, in my town. But every town is different." I have been honked at by locals when I wait for a green light. Today I turn unless I see a cop, in which case I freeze. But that is just me. Maybe you did not live such a sordid past.

Wow, i cant believe its been a whole year since i wrote a diary. I've been busy. we moved to a new town and now i work at a smaller daycare where i am still boss! i meet all new dogs that enter, then tell them to leave my ball alone so i can play fetch with mom and the boyfriend (soon to be dad!)
I celebrated my 2 year birthday by spending the afternoon sleeping. it was nice and lowkey. mom celebrated my 2 year birthday a few days late by taking me to a dog show and making me do a test!
a test! for my birthday!!! Luckily it was a fun test, i met a lot of new people and dogs and got some yummy treats from people (mom left my treats in the car *grr*)
oh, and i passed the test with flying colors! what was the test? it was the CGC or Canine Good Citizen. mom was waiting till i turned 2 for me to take it, and one happened to be taking place just after my birthday.
so now i hold my first title, and am on my way to being a therapy dog. i do hope its with kids, i love kids.
lets see, i had my 1st birthday on september 10th (yes i am aware i'm over a month late posting that).
i have also completed several other dog classes. mom says she'll be leading class now, and she needs me to be on my best behavior to be an example to the class. gee mom, thats a lot of pressure...
i have a new best friend at work too. its a 13" tan and white beagle. she's my size cept a bit fatter... and when she's at work, i refuse to play with anyone else! unless mom throws a ball for me... i'm obsessed with fetching. anything that moves i go after! the kitty isnt too thrilled with that, but sometimes she lets me chase her.
oh, i've decided that my sqeaky toys need to be quiet now, so i've been faithfully removing the squeakers and the stuffing from those toys. i left my pink pig intact (which is the first toy i ever got, it came with me from my birth mommy's house).
*oh! whats that? must chase...*
last we knew, i weighed 11 pounds even. mom predictied i'd weigh between 10 and 12. looks like she was right! as for my brother, she predicted 15 pounds and he was 14.5 at his last weigh in.
my scar's almost gone and my fur's almost grown all the way back in.
we went to a big expo for dogs and pets at the portland expo center. everyone thought i was a sheltie mix, when i'm obviously a corgi mix! geeze! mom thinks its cause my markings are unusual for corgis. she found some pictures of shelties that look a lot like me, only they had long skinny noses that are in a line from their forehead to their nose. i have a dip between my forehead and nose. i ate sooooo many treats from that event, i was sick afterwards. i'm still eating the free food samples :-) (i'd have even more if it werent for Ed eating 3 whole servings! and my greenie.... she's so mean!)

Opposition leader still coy on election
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadians are getting more accepting of the idea of a federal election, opposition leader Stephane Dion said on Wednesday, but he refused to suggest he was ready to topple the minority Conservative government any time soon.
"We've seen in the winter and the spring more and more interest in federal politics and more and more appetite for an election," the Liberal leader told reporters at a campaign-style "town hall" gathering in the Ottawa suburb of Kanata.
"So we'll see what will happen in the coming months."
The Conservatives have been in power since February 2006 with Prime Minister Stephen Harper heading what is now the fourth-longest minority government in Canada's history. But Dion was ambivalent on whether to trigger a general election this autumn by defeating the government in a confidence
Perhaps the most closely watched indicator will be how the parties do in three byelections this fall, which Harper is expected to call this week to fill vacancies in the House of Commons.
Currently, the two main parties are neck and neck in opinion polls. So, if the Liberals do well, Dion will likely be encouraged by the hawks in his party to pull the plug on the Conservatives. If the Liberals are rebuffed, it will make him more hesitant.
Two byelection will be held in Quebec, with one in Ontario, likely in early or mid-September. Continued...

Merry Christmas
My wife and I just picked up a 2012 GNU Billy goat for our son for x-mas. I am going to have a hard time not acting like a little kid and grabbing him by the arm, sneaking him to our closet and showing it to him. Then making him promise to not tell mom. Currently he's riding a Burton TWC Standard. This is going to be such a huge upgrade for him I'm soooo STOKED! and it's still a month and a half away.
He just turned 16 this past April.
I don't know what is more awesome... that you got your son a sick board, or that you are probably just as stoked about it as he is/will be.
Both my boys 15 & 16 are getting new boards now and they know it but it is their Christmas gift. We told them they need to act surprised when they open them.
Dirty not sure who will be more excited you or your boy hahahahaaa
Awe man...We literally just got it home and I am drooling at the opportunity to show him. It's going to be a looooong month and a half.
Snowboarding is our thing. A passion that him and I both love and share. It gives us an opportunity to go away for a weekend and put all the weeks stresses behind us and just enjoy time together and the outdoors.
I can relate. Riding washes away my work week and I get to spend time with my 2 boys.
Wish the whole family rode but wife and daughter have ZERO interest and the family budget isn't there for 5 riders. Hard to support 3 riders. One boy now has a job to buy some of his own gear and that helps.

Chinese mourn Mandela; ask awkward questions about own dissidents
BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese mourned South African anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela on Friday, but took to the Internet to ask awkward questions about their own human rights leaders, many of whom are in jail or endure frequent harassment by the government.
Chinese President Xi Jinping praised Mandela for "leading the South African people through arduous struggles to the anti-apartheid victory," in a condolence message to South African President Jacob Zuma.
"The Chinese people will always remember Mr Mandela's extraordinary contributions to the development of China-South Africa ties and the cause of human progress," Xi said, in comments carried by Xinhua, the official news agency.
Ordinary Chinese took to microblogging site Sina Weibo, the country's equivalent of Twitter, to express their sadness.
But many took issue with their government's stance on Mandela's death, especially since Chinese Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo remains in jail.
"We are remembering a person who respected and struggled for human rights, freedom and equality, but China's Mandela, who has done exactly the same kind of things, has been jailed," wrote one user in a widely shared post, making an apparent reference to Liu, whose name is blocked on Weibo.
"It's totally ironic."
Another wrote, "If Mandela had been Chinese, he'd have been beaten to death."
A third Weibo user wrote, "China does not lack people like Mandela or Aung San Suu Kyi. The difference is that they both eventually ended up being freed. People like this, in China, once they go into jail, they vanish." Continued...

I picked up my 07 SRX in Jaunary of 2013. I was extremely happy until the last few months. My first trip to the dealership cost me or $700 to replace the silicone slides and the tracks for the ultra roof.
Then this December I learned that the intake manifold gaskets were going bad and the engine was running lean, after a $400+ visit to the dealership, wouldn't you know the left rear wheel bearing is shot.I get that replaced to the tune of $500. NOW the FRICKING check engine light is on. I checked the codes and now the engine is still running lean. WTH, did I buy what I thought to be a very good vehicle or did I buy one of the worst pieces of crap on the planet? i'M TIRED OF SINKING $$$$ MONEY into this vehicle. Now I see myself sinking at least $2500 more to get this thing right.DAMMIT

Re: Unhappy SRX owner
I think what you are experiencing is the thrill of owning a high performance cadillac product. You see, these are such incredible, high performance machines, that the parts have to be replaced frequently. This is to maintain the proper incredible driving experience. Most people who would be near 50k for a vehicle generally would think that you would have at least 100k miles of trouble free driving, and most do. But they are fools. They don't realize how much their performance has gone down over those miles of driving. Only Cadillac engineers and part purchasing teams know that true top performance is only gained by frequent replacement.
Yes, that is a touch of sarcasm. I figured I'd jump in before all the people who white knight gm/cadillac jump in and defend them, like they'll get a free car out of it or something.

That was great sheepish!!!! Thanks for the laugh. I remember someone saying on here "they get upset when someone compares a price of a Kia or Hyundai to a cadillac with the same features, but they person comparing doesn't realized the performance and dynamics you are buying when you get a cadillac". Haha that's a joke itself.

Re: Unhappy SRX owner
I would say that such issues are definitely not the norm for the SRX, as it is normally built with a high degree of quality. Maintenance can have a lot to do with it.
Don't buy vehicles made on Monday morning or Friday afternoon - LOL.

Re: Unhappy SRX owner
You will quickly realize these cars are not mainteance free, however, most of the maintenance has to be accomplished shortly after you buy it in order to catch up on what the PO didn't want to take care of. My '04 was very maintenance-intense when I first purchased it, but once I got the bugs worked out, it seems to be better.
Also, it is a more technology-driven vehicle than some which will cause more issues. The more options you have, the more maintenance you have. Trust me, my log cabin doesn't require nearly the maintenance as my every-day home....but then again, indoor plumbing is nice to have when it's cold outside.
Re: Unhappy SRX owner
No car is Maintenance Free.
If you think that is true then you are likely the typical person that causes the exact problems you are seeing now.
Basically the type that neglects all of the maintenance that should happen and then when things start to fail due to lack of proper care you sell it and leave the mess for the next owner to take care of.
Perhaps the previous owner did not store the SRX in a garage and the sun baked the slides?The intake manifold gaskets were going bad and the engine was running lean
It is common for the bolts to slowly loosen over time, so either the previous owner over-tightened them or the dealer did attempting to resolve the lean condition.
When my STS N* was running lean it had loose intake manifold bolts, the dealer tightened them but over did it and ruined the gasket and I was back the next week still running lean. They replaced the gasket on their dime as they didn't perform a proper repair.left rear wheel bearing is shotNOW check engine light is on the engine is still running lean
Perhaps its as simple as the air intake not being attached to the motor properly (usually the underside wasn't on all the way when clamped down) its a simple check you could do in the garage.Now I see myself sinking at least $2500 more to get this thing right
If you are lean again and its the same gasket it should be covered by GM parts and labor warranty for 12m / 12,000 miles so no cost there.
What dealer are you using?
Is it a GM dealer? Cadillac only dealer? Chevy dealer?

Re: Unhappy SRX owner
I had the run leak check engine light.
Chevy dealer put new intake man gaskets.(i had done it once before w/ aftermarket gaskets! Fail!) also replaced by cracked throttle body/intake boot. Crack on bottom. Not visibile.
Check e. Light gone.
Any leak can cause it. Be sure fuel rail n injectors are in tight. Spray starter fluid or brake cleaner around these parts of upper engine when the car is parked n running. Listen for engine waffling/erratic idle while u spray.
The only issue i have left is a surge of light throttle from a stop when car is warm. Checking fuel press n replacing filter. Anyone else on tips for this?

Don't ever use BrakeKleen around a heat source or hot parts or burn it, death can occur and can happen faster than you may realize and cant remove yourself from the area.
So no don't use brake parts cleaner!

The Richmond County Chamber of Commerce is "the voice of business in Richmond County"
The Mission of the Richmond County Chamber of Commerce is to represent and support our members and to strengthen our county's economy and
business environment.
I joined the Richmond County Chamber of Commerce in 1997, because I wanted to be an official member of the county's business community. Since joining, I have attended many chamber functions, served on the Board of Directors and as Vice-President of the Chamber Board. I want my Chamber membership to have a positive impact on my business and the business of others.
Being a member and an Ambassador of the Richmond County Chamber has been, and continues to be, a rewarding experience for both myself and my company. Since becoming an Ambassador, I have been thrilled to be involved with such a vibrant, connected, and quality organization.
The Chamber allows the museum to connect to the community through fellow members, an online presence, and sponsored events. The outreach is exponential!
Joining the Chamber and regularly attending events was a no-brainer for us. We understand the importance of the Chamber's function within the local community and it's importance for our business.

Foolish Investors are always encouraged to buy shares in industries and companies they know. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't look beyond familiarity, of course. Quite the opposite in fact. We should only use familiarity as a starting point, and carry out our careful Foolish analysis of the companies we are interested in before deciding what to buy.
An extension of the "buy what you know" philosophy is to think laterally. If you are interested in a specific sector or industry, and think it is heading for future success, have a look round and think about what other peripheral businesses will benefit too.
A good recent example is the building industry, which has been going through a healthy period of late. That has been at least partly driven by the rising demand for houses and the rapidly booming prices that have resulted. A number of housebuilders, after a year or so in the doldrums, have seen their share prices rise as a direct result.
Take a look at Barratt Developments, for example. Barratt's share price has risen from about 170p a year ago to the 260p level today (and, in fact, peaked at nearly pounds 4 just a few months ago). George Wimpey is another good example. Wimpey's share price stood at a lowly 99p just a year ago, and rose to a 199 peak of nearly twice that in May this year.
However, Wimpey's share price has suffered a sharp fall over the last week, after accounting irregularities were uncovered at one of the company's subsidiaries.
But just looking at housebuilders isn't lateral thinking. When house prices start soaring on the back of increased demand, it isn't only the companies that build houses which will profit.
As anyone who has moved house recently will certainly understand, the mortgage repayments are just the start of the expenses, and there are plenty of others to come. So why not consider investing in all those companies in other industries that are irrevocably tied to house buying?
To start with, what do housebuilders make their houses out of? Bricks, wood, copper pipes, electrical wiring. All kinds of stuff, in fact, and someone has to supply it all.
And what do they use to put all that stuff together, to turn it into something that someone might want to live in?
They use diggers and power tools, and someone supplies those, too. Take Travis Perkins as an example. That company's share price stood at under pounds 4 at the beginning of the year, and its shares are now trading at around pounds 6.50, a rise of more than 60 per cent. That's a significantly better return than internet companies have achieved this year, despite all their glamour. So what does Travis Perkins do? Its business is the distribution and sales of timber and plumbing materials to the building trade, as well as the hiring of tools.
When you buy a new house, what is the chance that you will share the previous owner's taste in bathrooms, kitchens, lighting, and all those things that turn a brick building into a personalised home? Probably pretty slim, we'd bet. So who are you going to buy a new bathroom from?
One company heavily involved in the home improvement market, with most of its business coming from the sale of plumbing and electrical supplies, and whose share price has done quite well over the year, is Caradon, up 50 per cent from pounds 1 in January.
Furniture suppliers might be expected to do well too, but that is a competitive high-street business. Even so, DFS Furniture has recovered nicely since last year's share price fall. That fall started when DFS announced a profit warning, but since the beginning of this year DFS shares have gained 60 per cent from 190p to more than 300p.
So you have got your new house, you've installed your seductive lighting system, and you've replaced that ancient loo with a luxurious modern bathroom. What's next? How about the garden?
Shares in Wyevale Garden Centres have been gaining steadily for several years now. With the exception of a short sharp drop late last year when the market briefly hesitated, the company has shown a steady improvement from around pounds 1.40 in 1995 to more than pounds 4.70 today. Shares in AIM-listed Dobbies Garden Centres have done well too, and they have grown as fast as those spring bulbs you might have bought there.
Interesting though they may be, please don't take any of these discussions as recommendations, and rush out and buy shares we have mentioned. We certainly don't intend these as share tips. It is all just meant as an example of lateral thinking, and we have relied heavily on hindsight to find a few interesting companies that astute investors might have profitably analysed earlier in the year.
So think about your favourite companies carefully, and think laterally, Fools.

The Fool responds: Don't panic, the fall in share price is just a technical correction.

The fall in the share price simply reflects this payout, and the dividend cheque you receive should compensate you.

To decide if an intestine transplant is the right treatment for your child, the transplant team at Seattle Children's Hospital will carefully assess your child's:
We will also consider what we learned in our meetings with your family.
You can expect a decision within two weeks of completing your pre-transplant evaluation.
Once all of your child's information and test results are ready, the entire transplant team will meet to make the decision. A member of the team will communicate the recommendation to you by phone or at your child's next scheduled clinic visit. You will also receive a notice of this recommendation in writing. The decision could include any of the following:
If your child's evaluation indicates that there is a possibility for restoring intestinal function through diet, medication or non-transplant surgical therapies, we may admit your child as an inpatient or outpatient to Seattle Children's Intestinal Rehabilitation Program.
If the team decides that your child is an immediate candidate for transplant and you as a family agree, your child will be placed on the United Network for Organs Sharing (UNOS) transplant waiting list.

NATO Summit 2012: Ballistic Missile Shield to be Put in Place
Source: ibtimes.co.ukThe two-day Nato summit 2012 at US President Obama's hometown Chicago has declared that interim ballistic missiles will protect Nato countries amid growing threats to security especially from those boasting of nuclear capability.
"We have declared an interim ballistic missile defence capability as an initial step to establish Nato's missile defence system, which will protect all Nato European territories, populations and forces against the increasing threats posed by the proliferation of ballistic missiles, based on the principles of the indivisibility of Allied security and Nato solidarity, equitable sharing of risks and burdens, taking into account the level of threat, affordability and technical feasibility," said the statement released by Nato leaders on Monday.
The summit also decided to deploy a highly sophisticated Alliance Ground Surveillance system in order to facilitate the forces to work better in a safe environment.
Some of the Nato allies have also launched significant initiatives to improve intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance for the safety of the troops.
As part of what Nato calls "Smart Defence", the goals for the year 2020 were also set including inducting more technology into the defence system.

ITC: looks like Mexican sugar hurting US sugar
NEW ORLEANS - The U.S. International Trade Commission says there's a reasonable indication that U.S. sugar producers and refiners are being hurt by imported sugar from Mexico.
A news release on its website says commissioners voted 5-0 on Friday to investigate allegations that Mexico has been dumping heavily subsidized sugar on U.S. markets.
The American Sugar Alliance and other groups say sugar subsidized by the Mexican government has cut the price of raw sugar in half since 2011.
The U.S. Commerce Department also is investigating allegations that Mexico is exporting far more sugar than it has in the past and selling it in the U.S. at much less than fair market price.
If Commerce Department findings support the claim, the International Trade Commission could impose import duties to make up the difference.

propper tire pressure
What should the proper tire pressure for daily driving on the Cooper STT 295/70R17 tires I just installed? They seem to hop when hitting bumps not drastic but noticeable. I checked the pressure and the 2 drivers side are at 38.5, the front passenger is at 39, and the rear passenger is 32. I will get them all the same just not sure what would be the best for normal driving. Also if you let go of the wheel it seems to have a gradual pull to the drivers side could the pressure diff be causing this? the alignment was perfect before the new wheels and tires.
Thanks in advance.
Wow I thought this would have had the typical all across the board range of answers. I am thinking about trying 30 psi for now. I would try the "Chalk Test" but I feel it would not work very good on the currently snow covered streets.:D
I run my 315 75 16 around 25-29#...
My buddy runs his 37 70 15 around 27#
As a rough guide, 33" tires will need about 30-32 PSI; 35" tires around 28-30, etc.
If you've got a really thin layer of snow, you can do a rough kind of chalk test with that, by seeing how much of your tire coverage shows up...
Thanks All. I am gong to drop them all to 32 and see how it rides.

Comments about oreilly Flash CS4: The Missing Manual, 3rd Edition:
Once you start reading you will be taken involuntarily to go page by page without realizing. Flash CS4: The Missing Manual has a singular style and flow and I recommend to other programming books take some note.Chris Grover with E.A Vander Veer divides this chef d'oeuvre in three great parts and here I will try anticipating just a little...Part One: Where you will learn about Flash in a simple, however complete, way. The book starts with an amazing interface overview. It shows how to customize the workspace, it does a presentation of each panel and tool inside the program and you can see how to do easily, if you are new in this world, your first drawings in the Flash and give life to them.Part Two: Where beginners will be able to incorporate complexity to their projects and Flash knowledgeable designers will ripen their adeptness. This part we take a look in drawing and animation important concepts. Fast and clearly we expand our learning comprehending the new features of this software version. Now we can include audio and video into our realistic animations.Part Three: Where you will say to the world I really can also do it… Learn how to improve the application with the power of ActionScript 3.0, the Flash programming language. Evidently, this book doesn't go into as much depth on it, but you will realize that is not so difficult to go beyond. I could understand a lot of little things and appreciate details that really are an exceptional aspect in this paperback.It's, actually, a very interesting reference even for experts and, indeed, The book that should have been in the box.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Doin the trick!
By stevecash83
from Undisclosed
When I first got my hands on Flash CS4, I just thought I would dive in and be making dynamic webpages by the end of the day. After about 30 minutes of looking around, I was lost and frustrated! I picked up 'Flash CS4 : The Missing Manual" at a local book store and it's been an amazing journey! Within just a few short chapters I was designing and animating. Suddenly all of those mysterious buttons, menus and terms made sense. I recommend this book to ANYONE who is serious about learning Flash CS4. If I can learn, anyone can!

Women's Regrets About Their Lives: Cohort Differences in Correlates and Contents

- Newton, N., Torges, C. & Stewart, A. Sex Roles (2012) 66: 530. doi:10.1007/s11199-012-0126-6
In this paper we test hypotheses about the importance of life stage in moderating the relationship between acknowledging regrets and concurrent well-being, as well as how changes in women's social roles during the post-war period affected the content of the regrets they develop. We examine the relationship between women's life regrets and life satisfaction, and the content of life regrets, using data from 313 predominately white, college-educated women who graduated from the same university in the United States in 1951/2 (age 66), 1972 (age 46) and 1992 (age 26). Analyses revealed that the more types of regrets middle-aged and older women reported (the 1972 and 1951/2 cohorts respectively), the lower their life satisfaction; this pattern did not hold for the youngest women. In terms of the specific content of regrets, exact logistic regressions showed that women in the oldest cohort reported more regrets about prioritizing family over career compared with the later cohorts. Overall, few women reported regrets about prioritizing their careers over families; however, women in the middle cohort were most likely to report these regrets. Results are discussed in terms of both developmental and socio-historical frameworks.

Making her maiden voyage into motherhood, Emile de Ravin gave birth to a happy and healthy daughter on Saturday (March 12).
The "Once Upon a Time" actress (34) and her writer/director boyfriend Eric Bilitch took to Twitter to share the blessed news, with Emilie tweeting, "Welcome to the big wide world! Vera Audrey de Ravin-Bilitch born March 12th 2016. Couldn't be happier! So in love with our little girl!"
Breaking up the midweek monotony, a bevy of beautiful celebrities filed into the 11th Annual InStyle Summer Soiree in West Hollywood last night (August 8).
"Hellcats" hottie Ashley Tisdale brought some handsome arm candy in the form of boyfriend Scott Speer as she arrived at the swanky London Hotel.
Drawing out quite the impressive roster of star power, Entertainment Weekly's 6th Annual Comic-Con Celebration was the place to be in San Diego, California on Saturday night (July 14).
Held at the Hard Rock Hotel, the 'Just Dance 4' sponsored soiree boasted a guest list including "The Vampire Diaries" trio of Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, with the co-stars posing for pictures as a group before the Elena Gilbert actress broke away from her handsome fellas for brief visits with "War of the Worlds" actor Justin Chatwin and "Burke and Hare" hunk Andy Serkis.
Taking a break from filming, Ashley Greene introduced her dog to co-star Emilie de Ravin while going for a walk in New York City on Tuesday (March 20).

Critics accused New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg of running a nanny state when he imposed a restriction on the size of sugary drinks available for sale.
Now he's provoking a backlash for suggesting what the city's newborn babies should be drinking.
New York's health department recently launched an initiative, "Latch On NYC", which encourages new mothers to choose breastfeeding over baby formula. But the problem, critics say, is how the mayor wants hospitals to promote breastfeeding – by limiting mothers' access to baby formula, literally by lock-and- key.
Since launching, 27 of the city's 40 hospitals have agreed to participate in the program, which includes storing baby formula in locked cupboards, throwing out promotional material and any products that feature a formula-company logo and documenting a medical reason every time formula is used, according to the New York Post.
Mothers who request a bottle won't be denied but will get a lecture on the benefits of breastfeeding. "It's the patient's choice," Allison Walsh, a lactation consultant at Beth Israel Medical Center, told the New York Post. "But it's our job to educate them on the best option."
However, others disagree that these mother really have the free will to choose what their baby drinks. "If a woman is breastfeeding mostly just because the doctor won't let her have a bottle, it's not exactly a choice," points out a blogger from Feministe.
The American Pediatric Association suggests that mothers exclusively breastfeed for the first six months, and continue for a year to get the full benefits of a boosted immune system for their children.
Parents want what's best for the kids, but not every mother can easily breastfeed her newborn child, and being told by another person that their choice is wrong can compound the frustration for some.
"The current fascination with breastfeeding is also an extension of a society's efforts to control risk, including risk to our children," writes Alissa Quart in the New York Times. "We need more balanced, reassuring voices telling women not to feel guilty if they can't nurse exclusively for months on end. Given how difficult it is for some women to nurse, we should understand that we might sometimes be asking too much."
Do you think the city is going too far with the breastfeeding initiative? Does the city have a role in encouraging how mothers feed their newborns?Report Typo/Error

Hello Jeff -
I don't think there is a dichotomy re carry and EMS - and caring for folks. You need to impress the fact that carry is also caring for folks - the good folks in the family.
The fact that in a defensive situation someone probably gets hurt, or worse - does not detract from this IMO - if the GG/BG distinction is made. Those categories are apples and oranges - tho that said, with your EMS hat when on you'd would still do best possible to patch up a shot BG - it's part of the deal.
The other thing to impress on your wife is - if we shoot in a legally permissible defensive situation - you can say with honesty - ''well, he chose to instigate the whole thing!'' - ''it was not of my choosing.''

Ashe really relies alot on heavy peel, and since Zyra was nerfed she fell out of favor...
Mf tho. i think she's going to be really strong with those buffs on her.
Lategame she is fine if she can get there and she minds her positioning. But laning as Ashe now is painfully difficult. All the current ADCs in the meta have good bully potential, and the popular supports also counter her lack of mobility (Thresh, Leona, Annie).
I still love Ashe though, will play her more once other champs get picked more instead of the current botlane setups~~
With Ashe, if you can kite against champions that are pursing you and vice versa she can be deadly as long as they don't have a gap closer coming at you like.. *cough Akali cough*
Although one big arrow will ultimately decide a team fight, just like a Leona Ult.
Hey guys, just wanted to ask a silly question in regards to League and IRL.
So one of the biggest issues I have with playing League with RL friends is that they are just flat out terrible. And then they instead tend to be bratty and just ***** about why "I'm being rude" when I'm telling them to get objectives like dragon or towers, and they're like ****ing around as if they're all pro. Or they're just talking about LCS and think they know all about league but flat out suck. Unfortunately, because of the gap in skill, I find myself much more frustrated as a result because I can't say anything or shit gets all flown. It's kind of why I solo queue :\
Edit: As to why I'm asking this, it's because I've been playing a few games with friends IRL and honestly if there was a bronze hell it's those guys that are giving me that experience.'
Edit 2: I'm in my qualifiers.

Edit 2: Ugh I'm not liking my CS in mid. I noticed in the Kat game Riven outfarmed me more, even if I was up in kills. The same with my Annie game. Would have hoped to get 200 CS at least before 25 min

Did you not test the video? Even though this device is more a photocamera, it also shoots Full HD Video. ANd for that, I would assume the autofocus is good enough to shoot video. Alas, I bought this cam due to its more than average imagequality. But the autofocus of the video is crap. It keeps focussing and it takes several seconds before it has focussed. But if you then move the camera to another object, or you are just following your daughter walking across the lane, it keeps refocussing because it does not know exactly what to focus on.
Maybe it's me and there's a setting which prevents this, so please tell me. But otherwise this cam is just to shoot photo's but is terrible for video.
I agree with meanrat. I have not yet found a way to stop the autofocus in video mode having a mind of its own and periodically trying to refocus. I have this problem in good light with the camera resting on a surface taking a video of my daughter sat in a chair. My previous old digital camera fixed the focus when video mode was engaged - and believe it or not this produced better video's.

Russia drops investigation into whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky's death
The Russian authorities have closed their criminal investigation into the death of Sergei Magnitsky on the grounds of lack of evidence.
Relatives and supporters of the whistle-blowing lawyer, whose fate has become a touchstone for Russia's relations with the West, condemned the decision as "deliberately covering up a murder" but said that they were not surprised.
The separate posthumous trial of Mr Magnitsky and his former client, the US-born British businessman Bill Browder, on tax-evasion and fraud charges will resume on Friday.
Mr Magnitsky, a lawyer who died in a Moscow prison in 2009 at the age of 37, claimed to have discovered a $230million tax fraud that implicated government officials, the police and organised criminal gangs.
When he blew the whistle on it he…

Re: anyone admit to making a terrible shot
I've had more than one.
First was my first deer hunting experience back in PA. I was using my first deer rifle which was a Rem 243 with iron sights. I was up in a tree stand and a 3x3 buck is coming down the trail and stops about in front of me. It was a front slightly quartering shot about 45* down almost right below me. I decided to take a head shot since he was so close and the rack wasn't anything special. I fired and he turned and ran off much to my surprise and dismay. I got down and found a good bit of frothy blood so I figured the bullet went low and probably went through the jaw and trachea. Not sure why it went low other than my sight height was a little over an inch above the bore. So I proceeded to track it down off the wooded hill to where it went into a country club. I got permission to follow into the club by a security guy who was driving by and tracked it through the golf course which was closed for the season. Came to a stream and the blood trail was getting very sparse. Crossed the stream, no blood. I search up and down, still no blood, so I started back and ran into another guy who was also on the trail. He said let's go back and see if we can find him. There was a stand of trees that he thought the buck might have gone in to and he was right. Kicked it out and gut shot it on the run with his 220 B and it ran into another stand of trees at the other end of the club next to a residential sub-division. I posted on one end and he pushed up through from the other end. Here comes the buck with it's bloody tongue hanging out and stops about 15' from me broadside. I should have drilled him through the shoulder but put one through the ribs at point blank range. The buck bolted and ran out of the woods into the sub-division and some lady started screaming "you hunters....." We unloaded our rifles and walked out onto the street and I felt like crap. We couldn't very well track it anymore through everyone's backyard. 2 days later up in the same stand, a small spike walks under and I drilled it through the lungs and heart. It ran down hill to the toward my truck and piled up.
Next, antelope hunting in Eastern Montana. Back in camp for lunch with a couple of my hunting buddies and here comes a small band of goats by the camp at less than a 100 yds. I had a doe/fawn tag and an either sex (buck tag). No Bucks, so I decide to shoot a doe. Up with the rifle, crosshairs on target and let it go. Down with the rifle and one doe is down and another is moving very slowly while the rest of the band is bolting off. Looking closer, I can see intestine dragging from the offside of the other doe. Realizing what I had just done I put the rifle back up and finish her off. Gut them and drag them back to camp. One of my buddies was nice enough to put his doe tag on one of the does so I could still shoot a buck. Needless to say it was more than a little embarrassing and a big lesson learned about shooting into multiple targets.
Next, cow elk hunting during extended late season about 5 years ago. After walling around most of the day I found a good size herd feeding in sage pasture. I was just inside the edge of the trees and put a stalk on and finally crawled up behind some sage to about 150-200 yds away from the nearest cow. I did not have a rest for the rifle and am usually pretty good offhand or off the knee. The rifle was a newly purchased SAKO Finnlight 300 WSM that was a very disappointing 2 MOA shooter but the only operational rifle I had at the time. Still, inside 200 yds I should easily be able to put one through the kill zone. I put my elbow on one knee and attempt to place the crosshairs on target but having a little difficulty holding steady. I do my best and take the shot and the cow goes down. I walk up and can see it is thrashing around, with back legs paralyzed. I put one through the head to finish her. The first shot struck the lower part of the spine just behind the last rib, about 2' from POA. Next time, take a little more time to settle down for a good steady shot.

Re: anyone admit to making a terrible shot
I get buck fever and I shake all over the place. When I was 18 and came back from college for a Thanksgiving hunt, I was placed in a tree stand overlooking my buddies corn field. I had a Marlin 336, in .35 Remington with a nice redfield scope on it. The furthest shot in any direction of this field was 100 yards. A nice 8 pointer walked out literally within 5 minutes of me getting into the stand. I fired on a perfect 75 yard broadside shot and saw him jump about 5 feet into the air then sprint into the woods. I thought I made an awesome heart lung shot. I got down from the stand and saw pieces of bones and fur with very little blood. I knew instantly that I hit low and took out his front left leg. I felt nauseated. My dad and two buddies tracked him till about 3 am (made the shot around 530 pm) when the woods exploded with coyotes, howling and running around us. I figured they found the deer before us and mother nature got the last laugh. Since then I practiced and practiced and I used small game hunting as a prep. To say the least I dont miss anymore.

Re: anyone admit to making a terrible shot
I was bow hunting once on a frosty morning. Place looked good, and I set up inside several tree that sort of grew into a cluster. Somewhere a long the way I fell asleep! While asleep an eight point buck was grazing about twenty feet from me. There were some guys bird hunting, and they fired several shots in the air trying to get my attention, but I was out like a rock!
Another time I was coyote hunting inside a drainage ditch. I saw three nice dogs out around 450 yards, and didn't want to shoot as there were cattle nearby. ($$$) Anyway they came into about 300 yards and it was starting to get dark. I pulled out my mouse squeaker for that last urge. A big dog actually came up from behind me, and literally jumped over me. I shot him with a 22-250 as he was heading out at top speed. He rolled over, and got right back up! We got up to find him, and saw lots of blood, but no dog! Went back the next morning, and saw even more blood. but never saw that dog! He'd have gone close to forty pounds, and I hit him right behind his front legs quartering away. Told the farmer, and he said he'd keep an eye out for him. But he never found him as well. That's when I switched over to a 6mm.

Re: anyone admit to making a terrible shot
I'll admit it. I made a bad shot this year. The overall situation turned south quickly and I had a split decision to make and a shot was taken. I ended up hitting my antelope right through the hams broadside. Fortunately, he wasn't able to run and a follow up dropped him without even so much as a kick afterwords. The whole thing was over in less than 10 seconds which while it wasn't clean but was still fairly quick. Quick and clean is always the goal but it is impossible for every hunter to be 100% clean all the time. My shot was only a bit over 440 yards which by all rights should be a chip shot for me. There are no guarantees in hunting, only putting as many odds in your favor as possible.
Long range shooting is a process that ends with a result. Once you start to focus on the result (how bad your last shot was, how big the group is going to be, what your buck will score, what your match score is, what place you are in...) then you loose the capacity to focus on the process.

It sounds to me as if it did "die a terrible death."
I think leaving it there was the "terrible" part, not the shot.

Re: anyone admit to making a terrible shot
Most hunters who have hunted for many years have made poor shots at some time or other. I have too and lost animals as a result...but learned from the experience.
One of the most remarkable "screw ups" I remember was when I was in my late twenties. Deer season was opening the next day and for some reason I had not been able to get to the range to check my zero. Not to worry, I had a place behind my house where a 100 yd shot could be made so I took a target to the base of a poplar tree and of course I didn't have any thumbtacks or anything to fasten the target to the tree. Light bulb! I drag out my trusty old tinker swiss army knife and use it to hold the target...you know where this is going....First shot dead center on the knife at the top of the target! Could not have hit the knife if I had been trying!
Oh well, knife wasn't very sharp anyway.

Re: anyone admit to making a terrible shot
who said it was left there. We harvest every bit of the meat out of those deer and work harder then about any hunters i know to recover every deer we shoot at.
