AMES, Iowa — Every generation puts its own spin on the aging process, and people today are approaching their 50s, 60s, 70s and older years differently from their parents. Mid Life & Beyond: The Whole Picture, from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, is helping Iowans take a closer look at how they want to age.
"The average retirement age nationally is now 62 with a life expectancy of 78 years," said Susan Taylor, a family finance program specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. "Iowans are looking for fulfilling and challenging experiences so they can use their talents and continue to be productive in their communities as they age."
The Mid Life & Beyond program provides opportunities for communities to enhance quality of life for Iowans who are mid life in age or beyond, Taylor said. The program provides anyone age 45 or older an opportunity to explore several aspects of whole person wellness, including physical, social, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, occupational and financial concerns.
More than 40 percent of Iowans are 45 or older, according to the 2010 U.S. Census, "and like it or not, we will get older," Taylor mused. Eighty-eight of Iowa's 99 counties are projected to have at least 20 percent of their population at age 65 and older by 2030. The growing number of adults reaching traditional retirement age and beyond presents new challenges and opportunities for local communities as well as the state as a whole, Taylor said.
The Mid Life & Beyond program is more than just information, Taylor continued. A participating county or community offers a series of study circles, in which local residents can communicate their thoughts, concerns and ideas about how their community can improve and change to meet their needs.
Iowa communities have been participating in Mid Life & Beyond since January 2012, taking action on a variety of issues, said family finance program specialist Ruth Freeman, who is the Mid Life & Beyond team leader. Dubuque County is developing a directory of county services for seniors. Mills County has a weekly exercise program that was an outgrowth of the Living Well through Intergenerational Fitness and Exercise (LIFE) program in which older adults can socialize and exercise. Monona County's Generation Connection project links high school seniors with older adults in the community who need assistance with household tasks such as raking leaves or washing windows.
Several communities are examining ongoing transportation needs and options for affordable housing. Other communities are developing volunteer programs, recreational and fitness activities, and entertainment opportunities.
Currently about a third of Iowa's 99 counties are participating in Mid Life & Beyond study circles, Freeman said.
"When you join a study circle, your voice will be heard. But you'll need to make a commitment and attend four sessions. Each session is two hours long and led by a trained facilitator who will help you turn your dreams into plans and take action to make a difference in your community," Taylor said.

I've decided on doing a CELTA course abroad in January or February. I am quite flexible about where, but, I would prefer a Europen city, initially.
I'm considering Prague or a Spanish city. EBC appear to be a very good and credible. They don't have courses in Prague though, but they do in Madrid. They do offer a guaranteed job placement, which is very reassuring. Has anybody used EBC?
Also, I don't have a degree and I'm wondering how this would effect my chances of finding work, in either of theses places, if I didn't go with EBC. If so, is there anywhere else that anyone can recommended?

"I use this product for Real Estate, to market my properties. I like it because it looks professional, its easy to customize and it is small enough to pass out to people with relevant information on the inside."
"I designed a business card using photos of my work. The online design process is relatively easy, although the view varies from device to device (my iPad had better images than my laptop). The option to see a proof and update the product is very helpful, and the person providing prrofs was very responsive. I also like the option of up to three updates (I'd missed an error in my email address, it was easily fixed)."
"The cards i ordered are absolutely perfect, i could never have asked for anything more. these cards blew my mind because i was not expecting such high quality, i will forever be a customer, Thank you so much for such prompt service and quick delivery. did i mention delivery was 1 week earlier than expected, and from the date i ordered to delivery it was 5 days total"
"My husband and I ordered these cards after we got married as "personal cards" vs. business cards. They were handy to give to pet sitters, neighbors, family, church folks...anyone we meet who we want to easily provide with our contact info. Fast forward 4 years and we've moved so we ordered new ones in the exact same design but with an updated photo and address. Every we hand these to someone they say "Wow, why didn't I ever think to have something like this done up?". I always point them toward Tiny Prints."
"I really like the unique design of these business cards. Quality is very close to that of my professional photography labs. Love the versatility of the designs and layouts. I think these are my best designed cards yet. I am definitely going to reorder!"

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Oh yeah, you got one fast boat. PHRF is too generous. If you have a slick clean bottom, you can easily do over hull speed. I did 8.5-9.5 coming across the gulf. If you like racing, she will put some trophies out there for you after correction. Read your blog, so thought you might want to know.
Originally Posted by dhays View Post
Hey Brian, as a new owner of a 2005 Cat 400, what things in the recent boats concern you? In other words, what should I be keeping an eye on?
Some specific issues to keep a watchful eye on (that I do not believe reflect negatively on catalina) are: THe steering cables need a watchful eye. Also keep an eye on the sheaves above the liner in the master SR. Remember that unless you are after HN#~307, your boat probably draws 5'10, not 5'4. THe shower sump ius a bad design in the master head. THe pumps do n ot do well with foreign objects... especially hair and there are no strainers. We fixed this by putting some screen (window screen... very cheap you can buy at Walmart) over the cover to screen out hair. Keep an eye on the portlights in teh cabin top. You are approaching or at the time of pulling htem and rebedding. I don't know why Catalina doesn't just use mechanical fastners versus the glue... but that is another story. I used Dow Corning 795. It is not a hard job... but takes half a day per. And it takes seven days to cure so no sailing for a while and no moisture for about 24 hours after application. Incidentally, Catalina is not the only builder that uses those types of portlights (glued in only)... I just think they would be better and easier to repair of they were mechanically fastened.
So, on yoru boat, nothing is really wrong. THese are the boat specific issues I can think of. EVERY BOAT HAS THEM... these are just our specific headaches.
My frustration with Catalina is on many of the newer models (and a tad bit of ours, though ours and the 42 still hold to the older method). They simply are not using all of teh available space made to them. Those shelves are about worthless and NONE of them hardly have and fiddle boards. Also, they could have made massive space available under the liner if they only spent a few more bucks and cut it out and finished it (like what we have just port of the galley). As a cruiser and live aboard, we stick a bunch of junk low (read bilge). You should know that your boat, should you pull the floor board, just port of the waterheater, has a nice access under the liner. I actually ended up putting two-4-D batteries there. Also, if you pull the forward mattress, there is a very large area that has been fairly well finished and could easily take something like an extra diesel tank (which our boats really need for any long distance cruising).
Anyways, going back to Catalina, I wish they would just seperate themselves a bit more and put in more cabinetry and access to more available space. Some of the equipment (shower sump runs and wire runs) could be made a bit easier too... but they aer doable, just not pleasant. I think the 400 (and I have nothing to sell) is teh best boat Catalina makes, though I would not mind getting my hands on the 445. But if I was going to drop an easy $350k-$400k in a boat, it would be hard to do it without really looking at other boat manufacturers that really made a top notch product and would be comparably priced, if not less on the used market.
So ther eyou go! You have a great boat! I would buy mine again in that price range. Outside of that price range, I would (and may) buy a Nordhavn... so not even a sailboat at all.
PS Was taht you that called me a while back?
PSS Catalina is not doing anything that Bene and the rest seem to have done... I just wish they would charge another 5% and put it into their boats.

I will not say this part of the particle board is correct, BUT, the outer layer of teak is not a full layer cut from the log as in the past, The inner plys are cut from a log and glued accordingly. The outer layer is a for lack of better term a particle base. BUT, it is all teak that has been put together to get the current horizontal look and feel that GB uses in there lines. To me it has a bit of a plasticized wood look. IIRC it is a combo teak and epoxy to make sure it will last vs partical style boards most of us are used to for shelving, behind some interior products etc.
I was replying to Post #57 and #65 and not to you post.
Hey Jeff,
Not sure if that post was directed at me, but I dont think I have said taht Benes had part board. Maybe I did? Can't remember now. If I said it then I saw it, but I honestly cannot remember. I do remember the cabinetry being very cheaply done and veneer peeling off. What I meant above was that Jeaun and Benes seem to me to pretty much share teh same building standards so that if one saw X in a Bene, you could probably expect X in a Jeanneau.
DO be warned that since this post was done many years ago, that Catalina has done some things that I am not particulary fond of either. Not sure it would push me away from them to a Bene, but would make me give them another look. But teh Bene I saw back then was poorly done, IMHO. THis is my opinion only. I will also say that in general, Bene makes a fine boat. Sometimes I wonder if teh Bene versus Catalina argument should be phrased more like, "Do you like Chevy's or Fords?"
With all due respect, I am somewhat skeptical about the post stating that Beneteaus have particle board in thier construction.
Not all that long ago I read a article that described Beneteau as the largest user of marine grade plywood in the world, and because of that, how Beneteau was able to influence veneers, plys, and laminating practices for the products they bought and that other boat builders were able to purchase as well.
The article talked about the Beneteau chosing inner plys which gave them specific weight and strength advantages. While it is possible that Beneteau uses particle board on their charter fleet spec'd boats, I would be skeptical of that. Given that Beneteau went though the process of developing lighter weight plywood that the article suggested was being used across the Beneteau line, I cannot imagine them then turning around and using particle board, which is generally significantly heavier than plywood.
That said, while I persoinally generally am not a fan of 'particle board' type produces, we are now seeing OSB concrete formwork and OSB subflooring which has better moisture resistance than the plywoods and are using better moisture glues and internal sealants than were typically used for this purpose in the past.
I suspect Jeneau too, but do not remember now. I do not think Hunter does. And all this may also depend on the models. I honestly am not fully educated in all the (MANY) models of Benes.
Reading through this thread I actually learned something... lead vs iron keels and the big one for me, is that I can't believe that any manufacturer would actually put press wood cabinetry into a sail boat!
That is horrible... something that deteriorates with the slightest bit of moisture into a marine environment!!!
Unbelievable. Other than Bennies, who else does this? Does Jeanneau also?

text: I find Leonova looks too much like a very poor womens Slutskaya. And as such inevitably you watch her skate you cant help comparing the two as they are so similar, and Leonova falls short by direct comparision in basically every department even when she skates very well. I think she needs to develop her own identity and own unique strengths (if possible) to move to the next level. Does anyone else agree.

2 skinless chicken breast fillets
3 tablespoons of plain flour
1 heaped tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning
freshly ground black pepper
1 egg - lightly beaten
1/2 a tablespoon of water
2 slices of bread - whizzed up to make breadcrumbs (not too fine)
a knob of unsalted butter
extra virgin olive oil
How to do it:
Start by toasting the breadcrumbs in a dry frying pan. Moving them about so they don't burn. You just want a bit of colour to them and this will make them more crunchy.
Put each chicken fillets between a large sheet of cling film. Using something flat and bashable then bash them a little bit but not too hard, or they will tear. You just want to make them thinner so they cook quickly. Each fillet need to be about about 1/4 inch thick.
Now, get yourself 3 plates and put them all in a row.
On the 1st plate, mix together the flour, Old Bay seasoning and a little black pepper. I don't think you need any salt as the Old Bay will be enough to do the trick.
Lightly beat the egg together with the water and pour onto the 2nd plate.
On the 3rd plate pour on the breadcrumbs.
Coat the chicken on both sides with the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture.
Heat a good sized knob of butter and a couple of glugs of olive oil in a frying pan large enough to hold both the chicken pieces at the same time.
Cook over a medium-low heat for 2 to 3 to minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
Serve immediately with whatever takes your fancy.

Shop in the souks, relax in hammams, see the sights and eat stunning Moroccan cuisine on holidays to Marrakech.
The price you see first is the price you'll see last.

Online control over every detail
Plan and book your holiday with British Airways, online or by phone. Enjoy all these great benefits:
Shop in the souks, relax in hammams, see the sights and eat stunning Moroccan cuisine on holidays to Marrakech.
You will be amazed by the diversity on offer on holidays in Marrakech. If you are looking for a cultural trip, with beautiful buildings and a fascinating history, you have come to the right place.
From historical wonders and monumental mosques, to bustling markets which have hardly changed over the centuries, there are so many things to do in Marrakech. But it doesn't all revolve around Djemaa el-Fna square or the glorious Koutoubia Mosque. There are great sections of the city which allow for a more modern time, like the French-influenced Nouvelle Ville's gourmet cafés and bistros. Relax in style at a spa in La Palmaraie, looking on to the stunning Atlas Mountains. Or go for the more traditional route in the red-walled Medina, where you can eat Moroccan cuisine and drink mint tea, followed by cocktails and belly dancing at a rooftop riad.
From handmade rugs, glassware and hand wrought pans to fragrant spices and perfumes, the souks of the Medina are a chaotic but mesmerising place. Stay calm and haggle to your heart's content to get the best price. Or if you prefer European-style shops, head over to Guèliz and its boutiques selling high-fashion kaftans and tunics. Don't miss going to a tannery, where you'll be able to smell the leather before you see it.
The Red City has a lot of sights to take up your time, cultural highlights include sumptuous Bahia Palace and the Almoravid Koubba, Marrakech's oldest monument. Take in the sacred architecture of the Koutoubia Mosque before watching the magicians, storytellers and snake charmers of Djemaa el-Fna square. Escape the crowds at the beautiful Jardins Majorelle, or the eerily quiet ruins of El Badi Palace.
Food in Marrakech is varied and delicious, from the traditional tagines, barbecued fish and meats to the more outlandish delicacies like boubouch (snails) and sheep's head. Head to Djemaa el-Fna square in the evening where hundreds of stalls vie for your attention. For a traditional yet upmarket Moroccan feast, head over to the superb Dar Essalam restaurant, which featured in Hitchcock's classic The Man Who Knew Too Much.
Whilst alcohol is prohibited in most places in the Medina (its consumption is not allowed in view of a mosque), there are a few places that sell cocktails and wine. The restaurants, bars and clubs outside the old town, in Gueliz, Hivenage and the luxury hotels of La Palmeraie are good for a tipple. A trip to Djemaa el-Fna after dark to experience the traditional musicians is a must.
Marrakech can be a tiring and draining place, what better way to relax than being pampered? The hammam is an ancient method of cleansing, wherein you will scrubbed (with a loofah), sweating out any unwanted toxins, and coated with mud. Whist it may not sound very pleasant it will leave you feeling invigorated and ready for more haggling in the souks. Locals go to a hammam at least once a week.
The nearby Atlas Mountains can provide you with an unforgettable insight into how the Berber nomads live. Sleep under the stars, ride camels across the desert and eat food by the campfire – you won't believe you are only a few hours away from the bustling city. Explore the Oued Ourika gorge, venture to the Berber villages of Tahanaout and Imlil, or go surfing at the coast of Essouria.

Category: Gisele Bundchen baby Vivian
This week, Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel finds inspiration for the Nameberry 9 from celebrity birth announcements and TV listings.
I know it has been a busy week in baby name news when my friend C makes a point of seeking me out. "So what are they going to name the baby?" she asked, knowing that she didn't have to add that "they" are William and Kate and the baby in question will be hounded by more paparazzi than a Jolie–Pitt kid.
Then again, bookies couldn't take bets on the name of a new Jolie–Pitt arrival. Where would a gambler begin? We know the royal couple is up against some definite limits in choosing their child's name, creating a perfect opportunity for the placing of bets, a scenario that couldn't exist in Hollywood.
What separates name nerds from others might be this: I am filled with curiosity whenever I meet an expectant parent. "Have you thought about names?" I'll mention, casually, trying to not make it too obvious. Aidan Donnelly Rowley's post congratulating Kate struck a chord. It doesn't really matter if I know you – I'm excited for that new little person you're about to welcome, and very willing to help if you'd like to talk names.

'Ruff was particularly displeased with some forwards, saying the Sabres' lines were outplayed by the Hurricanes' front. In addition to talking with the Briere line Tuesday, he switched two others. Derek Roy was back at left wing for center Chris Drury and right wing Mike Grier. They were successful against Philadelphia in the opening round, but Roy had to move to center against Ottawa when Tim Connolly suffered a concussion in Game Two.'

A Smooth-On submerged something-or-other.
A pirate ship?
is it a condom?
Haha...good one GNCgamer128
package peanuts? :P
I hope it's cookies! nom, nom, nom...
Muad'Dib: I like your use of the words "grown-ups" I refer myself as one of these versions as well, except luckily I no longer live in my parents basement.
something your are making casts of? ;)
..oh yea, and Smooth-On was a good guess. Although, the comedic answers brighten my day.
I am going to open the box this afternoon. Then I will remove it's original guts, put it back together, and pour in some resin to show my work. Man am I excited!
Any last guesses...or more comic relief?
Gweneth Paltrow's head?
mmmm...Gwyneth Paltrow....legs...
haha D. that sounds like Homer SimpsonQuote:
mmmm...Gwyneth Paltrow....legs...
The suspense is killin' me
it IS a condom!!!
It looks more like a dam
Looks like Pink Play-doh
Quick teaser:
The mold is complete. It turned out great. Pouring some resin now. Pics soon...
First pull from the mold is complete. What do you think?
I am pleased with my first one. I figured I would possibly need to make a few air vents, and I was correct. I did get an air pocket in the trigger and part of the trigger guard, I will fix the mold to prevent this on pull two. Pouring one first helped me to find these areas so I know exactly where to put the vents and not make any that are unnecessary.
This is a project of mine I have thought about for a while. My main intention is to make a more durable version, something I could hand a child and not be as worried about. I don't even like letting my friends play around with my Mojo Sidearm. I love it and would hate to damage it. And as for my real Pulce 40, that is my favorite item in my collection. So I decided to try a one piece cast. I used a softer resin. When it is completely dry it is firm, but it does have the slightest flex to it. I am also now considering doing another mold with the barrel separate. Then for the barrel use an aluminum resin to give it a metal look.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
That's definitely NOT a condom.
But seriously, very nice I'd love one of these one day. Is that straight fiberglass resin?
It is smooth cast 45D semi rigid resin plastic. I have enough material to do maybe 5 more. I am going to the shop tomorrow and look at some more materials. I just finished adding some air vents to the mold so my next pull should be even better. I am gonna try to do it tonight. Quite a time consuming project this has become.
If there's a list, throw me on it.
Well I just pulled the second cast, and the air vents worked perfectly. It has a couple small bubbles, but nothing that can't easily be filled in. I am very pleased. The entire trigger filled up without bubbles and the trigger guard area turned out good as well.
I was upset when I saw the line between the frame and the back tube part of the gun just above the trigger area. In the pic this thin white line looks jagged. but it is the detail of the thin gap between the two parts giving the illusion that it is a tube inside a frame, like it is two parts. The actual line is very clean, so no clean up needed. Once you paint that part you wont see the interior of that space and this thin gap will make it easier to mask up when it is painted.
That's all for tonight. More work tomorrow...

The new mayor of Elizabethtown will be a current member of City Council. Which one still is not known.
At the close of Monday's City Council meeting, it was announced that the members had decided to select either Tony Bishop, Bill Bennett or Edna Berger to complete the term of Tim Walker, who died last month.
The announcement followed a 50-minute executive session, which also included discussion of property issues.
The council announced a special meeting next Monday to make its selection.
"We have taken this very, very seriously and tried not to rush it," said Councilman Ron Thomas, who chaired Monday's meeting.
The council invited public input on the three interested in completing the final 18 months of Walker's term.
Walker, 54, died of a heart attack in the early morning hours June 14. The council has 30 days from that date to pick a successor or the responsibility transfers to the governor's office.
After a mayor is appointed, council members next must appoint a replacement to fill the council vacancy.
For details from the meeting, see Tuesday's print edition of The News-Enterprise.

MINI Open 100th Dealership - Mini of San Diego.
The MINI USA dealer network has been growing steadily since the new MINI brand's US introduction in 2002 with 66 dealerships, and now the company is marking its 100th dealer grand opening with a celebration that will take place on December 16 at MINI of San Diego.
The new facility in San Diego is owned by Penske Automotive Group, one of MINI's long-time partners, and is the group's sixth MINI dealership in the US (22nd worldwide).
"This is an important milestone for MINI USA and we are pleased to celebrate it with Penske Automotive Group and our customers in San Diego," said Jim McDowell, Vice President, MINI USA. "MINI continues to grow in the ever-changing automotive industry, and you will continue to see additional sales outlets and some exciting new vehicles as we move into 2011."
The MINI brand will continue to grow in markets where a stronger MINI presence is needed, opening stores in cities where MINI has never been before. New MINI locations will continue to open in the US with approximately 115 stores planned through the end of 2011.
San Diego is one of the top 10 car markets in the US, and MINI of San Diego is the second MINI dealership in the metropolitan area. Located in the heart of San Diego, the new facility is visible from the 163 freeway and significantly increases MINI's visibility.
"MINI USA has been a valued partner of Penske Automotive Group," said George Brochick, Executive Vice President for Penske Automotive Group's Western Region. "We are excited to expand our presence with MINI in this key market, and proud that MINI of San Diego is the 100th MINI dealer in the US. With our new customer-oriented facility, MINI of San Diego looks forward to providing current MINI owners with a premium ownership experience and introducing new customers to everything that is MINI."
In addition to providing easier access to a MINI sales and service facility for customers, the new facility created 25 new jobs in the San Diego community. The sales and service facility covers nearly 28,000 square feet and 13 MINI vehicles can be displayed in the showroom.
The grand opening festivities will start at 6 PM on December 16. Representatives from both MINI USA and Penske Automotive Group will be in attendance and available for media interviews.
There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony and brief executive remarks beginning at 6:45 PM. Additional activities will include a silent auction to benefit Rady's Children's Hospital, through Mini Cares for Kids. Guests will be able to bid on a MINI roof covered with a MINI Motoring Graphic designed by graphic art students at Pratt College, along with other items which will be displayed at the event. There will also be a MINI owners club road rally prior to the event, a scavenger hunt on the dealership property, food and entertainment for guests to enjoy throughout the evening.
MINI of San Diego is located at 5202 Kearny Mesa Road, San Diego CA 92111 (Phone: 858-616-6464).

Glad San Diego finally has a dealership. I had a 2007 Cooper S and it was beyond annoying that a city this size lacked a dealership. We've got BMW dealerships all over and the competition is great.
I just picked up MINI number four at the newest Houston dealership, Clear Lake MINI, that opened in July. It helps that I know the manager there through my cycling activities, but even without a buddy there the newest store gave me other reasons to shop there. The original dealer in town has gotten complacent, their service department is almost universally abhorred, and I just didn't want to give them anymore of my business. The second shop in town has a pretty good reputation but is just too far for me (Houston is HUGE geographically.) When Clear Lake opened, my friend says he expected them to "create a new market" rather than steal sales from the other stores, but I'm betting they are doing both. There's something about the new guy that tries harder to please.

I followed all the steps here:
And when I restarted to boot into backtrack through my SSD I got a problem...Code:
I have it set to boot into EEEUBUNTU first, so it did. The next time I started up, i went into the boot menu and chose the second SSD... turns out it booted into Ubuntu as well!?
Now when I started up Ubuntu, I had an option to mount the 4.0GB SSD, the one with the Backtrack installed, so I did, and all the files are there..
I followed the tutorial step by step. What could I have done wrong? And how can I fix it?
Thanks :)
No one knows? :(

Tried it, no go.. any other ideas?
no good, they don't have it either...????
What is a "slide pin"? If it's just a cylindrical pin, maybe you could find one of the correct diameter and cut it to the right length? If it's more complicated than that, does it look simple enough that a gunsmith could make one?
Have you tried writing a letter to the company?

As a former Nebraska resident I enjoy keeping up with everything happening in North Platte vicariously through the North Platte Bulletin.
Tonight, quite by accident, I was looking up some information, when I discovered that the late night king of television, Johnny Carson, married his first wife in North Platte and had their wedding reception at the Pawnee Hotel. How many people know this?
I know the Pawnee is in trouble as an assisted living home for low income folks. I don't want to see them evicted and I don't want to see the Pawnee end up abandoned and eventually torn down. It would also be great if one of the sign shops in North Platte or the downtown merchants could restore that faded, sad looking 'Pawnee Hotel' sign on the southeast corner of the building simply to improve the appearance of the downtown area from looking so run down.
The point that I am trying to make here is that North Platte needs to rally around saving this building. I can't think of any better use right now other than assisted living, but all the same, there is probably a treasure chest of history there just waiting to be dusted off and rediscovered. I just don't want to see this place go the way of the UPRR Depot in North Platte.
Keep up the good work with telling the stories of how North Platte came to be what it is today.

searching for an idle problem fix
im almost done swapping v8 into s10. 1983 305 been told a different cam in it, not sure though, quadra jet carb 1980 and manifold, turbo 350. this motor an tranny where in another s10 fired, ran, idled, even drove it onto a trailer so it has worked 3months ago. now back together and cant get this thing to idle. i think its over fueling but no smoke from exhuat. the different item from 3 months ago til now is distributer. it had an hei dist with the weights robbed off of it and no vac pod so replaced it with what i want to call a regular dist in fear of calling it something its not, external coil, points, vac pod, just plan stock v8 distributor.
list of things ive tried
epoxy plugs on qjet
vac leaks with carb cleaner
rebuild kit
had this carb apart 4 times now not dirty
things that look suspicious
the points seem to be generating with dust on them. am i burning them up?
start the truck and bring the rpms up to 2000-2500 ?? no tack runs with very minor hicups but all and all smooth let off of the gas and let it idle and it starts running rough and dies. back to the starter button and cranks for 5-7 seconds and fires rpms are high (no throttle) for 5-10 seconds and idles downs runs rough and dies.
no wiring harness running 12 volts to everything starter, coil,altenator. any ideas?
if you have the time to lend a few words of wisdom i sure would appreciate it. thanks
Tee off at the carb inlet and run a small pressure line (copper/nylon) back to the firewall, up past the hood lip and onto the cowl in front of the windshield. On the cowl, mount a mechanical 0-15 psi fuel pressure gauge so that you can monitor it through the windshield as you drive. Never-Never-Never run a live fuel pressure line into the driver's compartment. If you want to mount the gauge and leave it there, figure up a nice mount and some way to cover it against rain (I might be thinkin' a modified clear Tupperware bowl). If you just want to get your problem under control and then remove the gauge, mount it to the cowl with tie-wraps, duct tape or whatever.
If you're using an electric fuel pump, then you may need to mount and plumb an adjustable fuel pressure regulator into the system. If you are using a mechanical fuel pump, regulators don't work really well with them, so use a different pump that produces less pressure, maybe something like this....
Carter Muscle Car Mechanical Fuel Pumps GM4685 - SummitRacing.com
The other thing that will help if the motor is cammed-up, is dialing in more initial spark advance at the crank. You will need ~36 degrees total timing, which is the sum of initial and centrifugal. Depending on the cam, the motor will want more at the crank and less at the weights, again, for a total max of ~36. You might get a kit and try different combinations of advance at the weights and at the crank. In other words, you might try 16 at the crank and 20 in the weights, for a total of 36. Again, since you don't know the cam specs, you will have to experiment. 12 and 24 might work best. You just have to play with it and find the best results for your combination.
Actually, I'd begin the experimentation with an HEI. They're cheap to buy new or you could buy one out of a boneyard and clean it up. Run a new, dedicated electrical wire from the starter switch to the + on the HEI. Do not use any wires that are already on the truck to supply current to the dizzy. USE A NEW LINE, 10 gauge. Bulletproof. Let me say this again with emphasis....DO NOT USE ANY WIRES THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE TRUCK TO SUPPLY CURRENT TO THE DIZZY!!!!!!
Here's a simple, cheap kit to begin with....

Use this kit from Crane to dial in your vacuum advance.....

Oftentimes, we find that the inertia ring on the damper has rotated circumferentially in relation the the hub of the damper. When this happens, you can no longer time the motor with a timing light because the ring does not coincide with the piston being at top dead center. Read through this turorial and fix the problem if you suspect that the ring has slipped on your damper.

great stuff here thank you for input it is much appriciated.
i think im going to start with the hei. i have the original one just wire it back up the way it was and start there. my buddy mentioned something about it being dialed really far advance to make it run cause its an HEI but not hooked up to a ecm. is this right. now im thinking that if it truly has some kind of radical cam in it do you have to advance the timing to make the motor run. when told the specs to time it i was told 8 deg., but im hearing you mention 36 deg., and my buddy say something about 40deg. when it was running. i thought he was just talking crap. i wondering if theres a hidden message here.
any thoughts? sometimes i think to hard and skip the obvious.

found the problem
Carbuetor is the issue stiil not sure of the exact location of the problem but i found another quadra jet carb that worked previously and got a nice idle out of it the accel pump is being a little stubborn but in time is starting to respond. problem soved but not at the finish line yet .
quick breakdown of events.
swapped out a 305 with qjet and hei
replaced qjet with holley mani and edelbrock carb and mechanical dist over fueling issuse sooty pluygs
switched back to qjet and mani still problems with idle even after 5 rebuild attemps switched out mechanical dist to hei and replaced qjet with diffent one idle and rough running gone.
thinking the plugs on carb were leaking even after epoxy attemp.
my best advice is to not let your children in your work space to adjust all the screws on your cab while its off your motor. or this may help to reduce troubleshooting time frame.
thanks for the help and references guys.
Take carb cleaner and spray lightly into carb when it starts to die. If it continues to run one spray, it is too lean. If the spray kills the engine, it's too rich. If too lean, late 70's early 80's q jets sometimes need 6-8 turns out on the mixture screws. Read up on q jet power pistons. Make sure you have the primary rods inserted properly into the jets and the pp can move freely.

q-jet power piston
Certain of the metering rods and jets to be lined up. Noticing that the power piston has to be pushed at WOT before the gas is purged up to the exit site just above the venturi. Thinking that since the cylinder that the power piston is in is a tapered cylinder that I have the wrong plunger seat, and it is not sealing to push until the bottom of the cylinder. On the other models I've tried slightest movement of throttle actuated this part of the carb easily. The one I took out matched the one I put in but then again it didn't work either. Or fuel is just not getting to the power piston site which would have to be float level problems
If the accelerator pump isn't working correctly, start by attaching the linkage to the hole nearest the pivot. That will give the biggest shot of fuel.
There are several different lengths of the rod the accelerator pump uses, if it's the wrong length this can have a bad effect.
If the springs are mixed up and the one for the filter is used on the accelerator pump, or the return spring is swapped w/the override spring on the shaft for instance, that can cause it to work poorly. If the piston seal is wrong it can have a hard time pushing fuel and/or allowing the pump to refill.
There's a ball that acts as a check valve under a screw in the float bowl, driver side. Be sure the ball is in place and sealing as it should. The check ball seat can be re-formed by carefully tapping an old check ball against the seat using a small punch and light mallet/hammer.
Sometimes the accelerator pump bore gets glazed where it doesn't seal against the piston very well. The bore can be lightly honed using 600 grit wet or dry and WD-40 or a similar solvent. I use a wooden dowel w/a piece of cloth wrapped around the dowel and the emery paper wrapped around the cloth. Then make like a boy scout starting a fire or like you're lapping a valve. You don't want to remove the finish, just break the glaze ever so lightly and to smooth the bore.

Yeah duh. Sorry about that yes the it is for sure the accelerator pump that is malfunctioning I did move the linkage in and that's where I got the little squirt at WOT, but on outside nothing acts as if it's dry.will try these fixes you suggest. Thanks
You're quite welcome. There is a guy, "Lars" who has also posted extensively on the Q-jet. He knows his stuff. Below is one of his posts (there are other pages by him if you do a search).
From Quadrajet Info by Lars:
Plugged accelerator pump transfer holes in air horn
Results in: Off-idle stumble or hesitation, hard cold-start.
Comments: There is a tiny transfer hole that runs horizontally in the air horn, just inside of the actual accelerator pump discharge orifice. It is common for this to be plugged with some type of debris, especially in carbs that have been sitting around for a while. If this passage is plugged, there will not be any accelerator pump shot.
Jammed accelerator pump check ball
Results in: Off-idle stumble or hesitation, hard cold-start.
Comments: This is a common problem in carbs that have been allowed to "dry out" for a while. Sediment in the bottom of the fuel bowl will lock up the check ball as if it were set in concrete. This will prevent any accelerator pump discharge.
Accelerator Pump Rod Installed in Wrong Hole in Pump Arm
Results in: Off-idle stumble or hesitation.
Comments: There are two holes in the accelerator pump lever arm for the lever arm rod to engage into: Inner and Outer. The outer hole produces a leaner pump shot, and can cause a lean stumble on engines requiring a robust pump shot. Corvettes and performance cars always used the rich, inner pump arm hole.
Jammed accelerator pump
Results in: Off-idle stumble or hesitation, hard cold-start.
Comments: This is becoming a common problem. The alcohol additives in modern fuels are not compatible with the materials used in many accelerator pumps (even some of the pumps in brand new carb kits). This causes the pump plungers to swell up and to seize in the pump bore. The spring on the pump shaft still allows the shaft to move up and down, making it look as if the pump is functioning. But the pump itself can be seized up solid in the bore with the shaft working just fine. To fix this, you must install a pump that is specifically compatible with alcohol.
Worn accelerator pump
Results in: Off-idle stumble or hesitation, hard cold-start.
Comments: Common on older carbs and on carbs that have been allowed to dry out (vehicles stored without being started through the entire winter season). The rubber plunger material will dry out and shrivel up, making the accelerator pump completely ineffective. The pump must be replaced.

I got it thanks to you guys
Pulled the carb apart and noticed that the accel pump was sitting pretty far down in the cylinder so removed that one and placed a shorter one from another Quadra jet honed the cylinder with dremal sanding tube (just enough to scuff the edges to break the glaze)replaced check ball. Started it up and it wouldn't fire. After some cursing and tears haha just kidding on tears. Found I was out of gas. Put a couple of gallons in it and varoom she's alive and singing. Grab a turkey and set it over the back wheels were gunna smoke it. Thank you guys for the help your awesome. One ? Off subject why did this post move? Couldn't find a carb specific site. Just not sure where I screwed up for future use.

A crowd formed in RISD's Sol Koffler Graduate Student Gallery to inspect a playful installation by Sophia Sobers MFA 13 DM.
"Could the
wall be breathing?" wondered the small crowd in RISD's Sol Koffler Graduate Student Gallery. They were standing around a pillar
swathed in white, ruffled cloth. It wasn't exactly on the move, but it
certainly wasn't still.
As it turns
out, the playful installation by Sophia Sobers MFA 13 DM uses stepper motors rigged beneath the fabric to create the eerily
lifelike illusion. Breathing Columnis just one of many multimedia
pieces unveiled at last Thursday's opening reception of Pixilerations [v.9], the annual arts fringe festival sponsored
by nonprofit FirstWorks. Through October 21, visitors
to the show at RISD can get an additional eyeful of digital media at the Cohen
Gallery in Brown University's Granoff Center for the Creative Arts, along with spaces sprinkled
throughout downtown Providence.
Other works
by students in the Digital + Media program are no less energetic. Chinese
artist Di Tang MFA 13 DM created The Dance of Roger Williams, a mechanical
marionette that moves without the traditional aid of a hand. Instead, it whirs in
response to a "city soundtrack of Providence," which he recorded while making
the daily trek from his apartment to school. Viewers were also dazzled by a
looping video shot by Sandor Bodo, a
staff photographer at the Providence Journal. It projects images of people riding elevators in
cities such as Paris, Budapest and Milan.
"The goal
of Pixilerations is to show really exciting
works – what's new in media art," says FirstWorks founder and executive
director Kathleen Pletcher.
The strong
turnout for the opening was no surprise. In fact, ever since the show was born
nine years ago in abandoned storefronts nestled in downtown Providence, organizers
have witnessed an increasing hunger for multimedia from the general public. "There
is an appetite for this," says Pletcher, noting that the rise of
technology and social media has fueled this trend.
Pletcher's point, headlining artist Miwa
Matreyek – known for mesmerizing works that integrate animation,
live performance and video installation –performed last Friday in a crowded Granoff
Center auditorium. And for the first time this year, organizers had no need to
do a call for submissions to the show. "We've gotten interest from hundreds of
artists across the world," explains Peter
Bramante, managing director of FirstWorks.
Pletcher is
already planning next year's show [v.10], noting that FirstWorks will most
likely organize a related symposium. No matter how much Pixilerations continues to grow, however, she says it will remain
true to the FirstWorks mission of connecting diverse, inquisitive audiences to
the magic and wonder of art.
"Our audience is a combination of people who are in the media arts
world and those interested in discovering new things," Pletcher says. "I hope
[the show] will encourage conversations and connections." –Abigail Crocker

Hundreds of Isa kids cut school
22 January 2013 , 2:26 PM by Emma Cillekens
Two hundred children in Mount Isa cut school each day.
That's according to figures from the principal of a flexible education pathway in the city.
Thelma Parker from the Edmund Rice Education Flexible Learning Centre works with children who are disengaged from the school system or don't feel mainstream school is for them.
She says truancy is a major issue in Mount Isa.
"We have a number of young people here who [haven't] been to school for four or five years," she said.
"Around about 200 kids [aren't] attending some type of schooling program. To us that's quite an alarming number."
She says her school is working to get the children to attend school.

Calendar of Events in Reno Nevada
Developers, web designers, marketing professionals, and bloggers are gathering at the University of Nevada's Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center April 27-28 for the fifth annual Reno-Tahoe WordCamp.
This unique educational event is an opportunity for WordPress developers and users of all levels to meet, share ideas, and learn more about the WordPress platform and its business applications. WordCamp features two days of conference sessions and workshops taught by local and national experts. Covering "everything WordPress," the event is organized by the Reno WordPress Meetup Group to benefit and support the WordPress Foundation.
WordCamp attendees can choose between technical and business tracks, and the agenda includes content and forums for WordPress novices, experts and everyone in between.
"WordPress is an awesome platform that makes it easy to build a website or blog," says WordCamp organizer Megan Duggan, a graphic designer at Innerwest Advertising and Public Relations in Reno. "The Reno-Tahoe WordCamp packages great speakers and educational content into a low-key, affordable event for the local community. If you are designing websites or using WordPress for business or personal branding, you need to be at WordCamp."
People can register online at 2013.reno.wordcamp.org. The fee for the 2-day conference is $30, which includes lunch both days, a t-shirt, and a Saturday evening after-party and networking event. Single-day registration is $18, and student discounts are available.
Businesses of all sizes are being told that "content is king," and WordPress is the world's leading content management system. More than half of all websites that include a CMS are WordPress-based, as are most professional blogs. WordPress is used worldwide to anchor and streamline ecommerce, digital marketing, and business and personal branding.
The two-day Reno-Tahoe WordCamp offers technical and business tracks that include presentations, live demos, question-and-answer sessions, panel discussions, and more. The international WordCamp organization embraces an "unconference" philosophy, encouraging impromptu sessions limited only by the imagination of attendees.
The technical track is aimed at developers and designers. The program is still being finalized, but topics likely to be covered include WordPress site setup, theme development, jQuery, developer trade secrets and techniques, the latest plugins, web fonts and mobile issues.
The business track is aimed at marketing professionals, business owners and bloggers. Topics include monetization, authority marketing, blog content, branding, e-mail marketing, podcasting and social media strategies.
"Reno WordCamp is one of the best conferences in town for the WordPress community of users, developers and designers, many of whom make their living from using the software and building new things on top of it," says Colin Loretz, cofounder of the Reno Collective coworking space. "It also showcases the WordPress talent in and around Reno by attracting attendees and speakers from other cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Sacramento and Las Vegas."
