You heard it here first, folks, if you're not christian, you are worshipping a demon.
Thank you for clearing this up with us, Pat.

i am not condeming anyone. I am a barely confirmed luthern, poorly read christian .... barely.
But sova that is not far at all from the teaching of the bible. Off the top of my head ... thou shall have no other god before me. Dont worship false prophets. There is only one true god. If there is but one true god, the others are false gods ??? Thats what he bible says very clearly. I havent cracked a bible since i was in 8th grade someone else can say it better than me.
Dont be offended, the radical muslims want to kill you ... you personally not, you figuratively, for not being a radical jihadist.

So what's your point Sova? Like Jamiesann said, it is very consistent with the bible. Just because other religions may be monotheistic (1 god) vs. the old peagan ways (multiple gods) does not mean they are worshipping God. If they were worshipping God, the ideals they would follow would be identical to Christianity. They are not.
There is only one way to be in heaven with God, and that is through the salvation of Jesus Christ. Christians don't want to persecute you if you don't want to go to heaven, but they want to make sure you understand the "how to" and leave it up to you to follow the manual.
I'm not quoting idiots who promote unsafe recovery strap techniques anymore. :miff:

i just wanted to clear it up for everybody...obviously Pat Robertson knows what he's talking about.
anyway, i just think people should have a bit more of an open mind. Can you prove to me that Christianity is the "correct" religion? what about it is "better" or "more right" than Buddhism, or Hinduism, or Islam, or Judaism? If you can prove to me that "yours is right and theirs is wrong" say whatever you want...but I don't think you can, therefore, I don't think statements like that should be made, especially by people like Pat Robertson who have some much sway over the weak minded people of this country. What does saying something like that do? It is just going to cause more animosity between people of opposing religions...I suppose it might also cause some undecided weak minded people to convert and donate lots of money to his cause...oh yeah , there it is, money is the root of all ...religion???

Nope, I can't prove it since I believe on faith but I don't have to prove my God to you. And since my God is the only god then I will not acknoledge other gods because I believe that there is only one true GOD and that is the God in heaven also know as Jehovah.

I believe that your thought process is just bringing the goal of the Anti-christ and the devil one step closer in allowing for a one world religion.

Is it just me or does that sound like an excellent solution? Think of all the fighting and violence and death that goes on in the name of religion...if everyone believed the same thing, that could all stop. Or is that not what you were thinking...

Have you even read Revelations? Or know anything about the tribulation period that the Bible predicts and will come to pass in the future?

I was afraid to weigh in here - it was looking too mcuh like a lover's spat.
So what's the news here? Many (if not most) religions contain some exclusivity clause (psst - our way is the "right way") - that's not a Christianity exclusive.
Except that we got past that whole idea of trying to kill the non-believers, unlike others...
This is the Pub. Leave common sense at the door.

So there is a warning in the bible to keep people from being open minded and to keep them from all joining together as one in the name of peace. good stuff. This antichrist sounds like a good thing. I'm not saying i know what is right here, but if you put it this way.
Right now/Past: people of different religious factions killing each other over their religious differences (The Crusades, Israel v. Palestine, etc.)=GOOD?
Anti-Christ: people joining together in the name of peace and having a religion that everyone can agree on=BAD?
doesn't that sound weird to anyone else?
I find this very interesting.
|November 19th, 2006, 03:05 PM

Also, do you believe in everything in the bible or just certain things that are convenient and don't sound evil.
For example,
(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
(Deuteronomy 20:10-14)
As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.
Death to the Rape Victim (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB)
If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.
Sex Slaves (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
What happened to Thou Shalt Not Kill????
Kill Witches
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
Kill Homosexuals
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Kill Fortunetellers
A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)
Death for Hitting Dad
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
Death for Fornication
A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
Kill Nonbelievers
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God
Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)
Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night
But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
Kill People for Working on the Sabbath
The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: 'Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.' (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)
The list goes on. Slavery, Rape, Mass Murder...all advocated in the Holy Bible. Just remember this book that you are basing your values on...includes this. I am not trying to tell people to stop being religous, i'm just saying keep an open mind about things. Yes i'm sure that the other religious have rediculous bullshit like this as well.

Sova, please refer to my first post. I can tell you my faith, and let you know how to be free from sin, but I don't want to force anything on you. What's that saying....you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.....

sova i cant quote verse worth a damn but i know enough Jesus loved everyone, even no believers. He could care less what you did wrong, murdurers, theif, doesnt matter. Its my belief and non-biblical scholar belief that at the judgement day all you have to do is accept god (the christian god that is) as your savior and you get into heaven. Its as simple as that. Even wicked evil folks like ida amen, sadam, jeffery dahmer can get in if they have a revelation on judgement day. Soooo it would stand to reason a buddhist, shintoist, taoist or muslim would get in, as well as athiest.
Also christians with any amount of knowledge respect Judiasm and Islam because of our shared past and lineage and many commanalities. I have faith in the koram. My dads buddy is indian from india he said in the koran it has the speed of light ! You can't guess that thats divine. Now i am not gonna be attending a mosque any time soon. But i have respect for all the great peaceful religions. Many buddhist for example are kinder better christian than many christians are ... not in the name of god but their kindness generosity, humanity, humility, etc is all the same stuff the christian god asks of you.
Only people i dont respect is the radical muslims. Everyone else is cool with me.
Also you idea that weak minded folks will be send Pat money to get into heaven ??? I dont see that happening, anyone that weak minded likely doesnt have much money or they were already duped out of it by now.

I'm not going to look them all up, but I did pull my bible off the shelf next to me and looked up Deuteronomy 22:28 and 29. This is what I found and it isn't cut and pasted...I actually looked it up.
28 - If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 - Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
I don't see anything about rape there. I see 2 people having non-martial sex.
aand in Deuteronomy 22:23 and 24...where does it say death to the rape victom? It says death 2 people in adultry.
The more I look at this, the more full of crap you post is.
If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Your post is crap. Read the bible before you post things and PRETEND to know anything about it.

I dont interpret thou shalt have no other gods before me as saying that what other groups of people refer to as god if actually a different god or some type of demon. Why would you assume that what the Hindus or Buddhists or any other religion refer to as god is a different entity as the Christian god. Im no expert but the research into they and other religions suggests that many eastern religions are actually more philosophies (dealing with how we live our lives here on earth) than religions (dealing with god and the afterlife) and as such they dont really go into detail just who or what god is, so its not a big stretch for me to believe that they are actually talking about the same god.
Ive also wondered if thou shalt have no other gods before me is an admission, from God himself, that there are in fact other gods out there.
And finally, I find it interesting, and maybe significant, that among the first people God chose to announce the birth of his son to were not Jews but in fact Magi from the east who are believe to be Zoroastrians. That seems to be an acknowledgement, straight from God, that he is the same god that other, non Jewish religions believe in.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – No. 5/5 Syracuse defeated No. 8/7 Georgetown, 13-7, on Sunday, April 28 to claim the BIG EAST regular-season title for the second consecutive season. The Orange went undefeated in conference play for the second straight year and third time in the program's history.
Syracuse (14-3, 8-0) has now won nine straight games and its last 20 BIG EAST regular-season games, dating back to the 2011 season. The Orange wins its sixth conference crown in the last seven years and earns the No. 1 seed in next week's BIG EAST Tournament, which begins Thursday, May 2 at Georgetown.
"We take it one game at a time and truly focus on getting a win every game," said Syracuse head coach Gary Gait. "We do our work and put our time in. It wasn't our best game, but we grinded it out and got the win."
Freshman Kayla Treanor scored a season-high six goals and finished with a personal-best seven points. Junior Alyssa Murray added three goals and two assists. Sophomore Kelsey Richardson led a strong defensive effort by the Orange. She made a season-high nine saves as SU forced the Hoyas to commit nearly as many turnovers (19) as shots (20).
"When you play a tough zone defense, you have to move the ball against it," Gait said. "They kept moving it and moving it and made a mistake or two and we got the ball back. Coach (Regy) Thorpe and his defense are playing well right now."
Georgetown (12-4, 6-2) took an early lead on goals by Sophia Thomas and Hannah Franklin. Franklin's tally at the 24:26 mark would be the Hoyas last of the half as Syracuse scored seven unanswered goals in the final 23:14. Senior Bridget Daley started the offensive outburst with a goal on a hard shot at the 23:14 mark. Treanor followed with three consecutive goals, the first on an assist from Murray and two on crease rolls on the right side.
Murray continued the run with a free position goal before junior Katie Webster (Syracuse, N.Y.) found the back of the net at the 3:53 mark. Murray gave the Orange a 7-2 lead when she put her bounce shot past Hoyas' goalkeeper Barb Black on an assist from Treanor with 3:14 on the clock. Georgetown had the final possession of the half, but Syracuse's defense didn't allow the Hoyas to get off a shot.
Webster netted the first goal of the second half on an assist from Murray to give the Orange a six-goal lead. Kristen Bandos ended Georgetown's scoring drought of nearly 27 minutes when she found the back of the net at the 27:24 mark to bring the Hoyas within five at 8-3. Bandos' goal sparked Georgetown on a 4-1 scoring run that cut Syracuse's lead to 9-6 with 23:25 remaining.
After the two teams traded goals, Treanor extended Syracuse's lead when she took a pass from freshman Kelly Cross in front of the goal and shoveled the ball low into the back of the net for her sixth goal of the game. Freshman Erica Bodt and Murray each scored in the final 1:15 to secure the victory.
Syracuse outshot Georgetown, 32-20, while the Hoyas won 14-of-22 draw controls. The Orange picked up 20 ground balls, led by Murray's and sophomore Kailah Kempney's four apiece, to 14 for the Hoyas.
The Orange begins its quest for a third BIG EAST Tournament title on Thursday, May 2. The tournament pairings will be announced later tonight.

Hey guys,
Anyone have a good contact for a hunt in Ireland. I will going out from time to time for business and would like to work in little fun. I'd rather get some first hand knowledge as apposed to really on the internet. I might also entertain a fishing trip, but would prefer an upland or waterfowl hunt. Thanks!

There are times when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a riddle wrapped in an enigma when it comes to discussing his ideas concerning peace in the Middle East. After speaking with President Obama, the Israel leader announced he is prepared to open peace talks with Syria without any preconditions. "I said I was ready to immediately open peace talks with the Palestinians, by the way, with Syria as well, of course, without preconditions." He emphasized the importance to Israel of emerging from any negotiations with its security guaranteed. Netanyahu also suggested the importance of involving other Arab nations in any peace negotiations. He wants any agreement to have the support of all Arab nations in order to avoid problems about who is responsible if an agreement is not implemented.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton emphasized the importance of Israel agreeing to a two state solution. However, an aide to Netanyahu ridiculed such an idea to reporters. Later, Ron Demer told the media: "I told reporters that the focus by the media on the concept of solving the Israel-Palestinian issue though a two state solutions is childish and stupid, but I deny that I described the idea that way." Any other comment?

Shore Club strikes the balance between sexy and sweet, designed for women who want an everyday suit that sizzles. The line is full of fun-meets-fashionable tankinis, shortinis, skirtinis and swimdresses in vibrant, head-turning colors and patterns. Beneath all the flattering necklines and slimming cuts, however, is some seriously well-constructed swimwear: underwire or soft molded cups provide comfortable, sag-free chest support, while built-in, powernet tummy control panels whittle and smooth the waist.

I'm currently looking at some white lambskin hides for my tunic and belt to be made from. What I want to know is how hard is it to dye white leather to the right color and would others recommend this material and method for what I need to do? What dye should I use on it? Should I instead get it dyed by a profesional?
Thanks guys!

On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia.
He said:
"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are NOT Russians!"
The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation that lasted for five full minutes. How come our nut-less Socialist leaders don't have the gonads to say that?


text: So... Ive had a design idea in my head for a long long time and have finally decided to make it a reality. I saw a pic of a bike built by Sam McKay of Firebikes that had the same rake, rise, and stretch that I wanted for my bike. I made a few copies of it and started sketching over it and this is what I came up with. My design on top. More sketches. I got in contact with Sam and asked him if he would build the frame. So I guess I better start picking out the parts I need.

I live with my non-Buddhist parents and Dad includes wine and port in his recipe when making a casserole. He claims that because it is not a pressure cooker the alcohol all evaporates and escapes. He teases me that there is alcohol in bread.
I've heard that Buddhism teaches to eat what you are offered (although monks don't have to eat what is put into their bowls). Do you think I should take the wine casserole? If I refuse my parents might say I should move out. I am fasting for Uposatha Full Moon tonight (which they respect) so I have 24 hours to decide.
Thanks / dhammapal.

:confusedI'm a new member and was wondering how big a jet pack should be for someone about 6.1 and 180 pounds?
I understand that there is no "right"size but was wondering how big it should be to get the same proportion as the movie.
Dose anyone know how tall Boba was in ROTJ or how much he weighed.
On a side note i do have the amazing blueprints from wizzard of flight but when I made a mock up out of paper it seemed to small for me.
Any (more) help or measurements for a jet pack would be very helpful thank you.


text: I would love some help please because I recently had some personal problems that will almost certainly prevent me from going to China to teach English next month (FEB2013). However I am worried because I signed a teaching contract with a school on Friday 4th Jan. I had no intention of letting anybody down and I did not rush into any of the procedures etc. Has anybody had any experience of something like this as I would be very grateful for some advice as I already have a lot to worry about and I basically don't know what to do!

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Incubus' first major-label release was the six-song EP Enjoy Incubus, which was released in early 1997 and consisted of previous demos that were revamped in the studio. Their full-length debut album, S.C.I.E.N.C.E., followed before the year's end. Incubus then hit the road with a vengeance, opening for bands like Korn, Primus, 311, Sublime, and Unwritten Law. They had amassed enough of a following by 1998 to land a slot on that summer's Ozzfest tour, and they rounded out the year with a stint on Korn's inaugural Family Values tour, by which time DJ Lyfe had departed and been replaced by DJ Kilmore (first name Chris). With their momentum and exposure slowly building, Incubus returned to the studio and delivered their follow-up album, Make Yourself, in late 1999. The group went right back out on the road, and their stint on the 2000 Ozzfest helped cement the new audience that the band's new single, "Pardon Me," was pulling in.
Although Make Yourself barely broke the Top 50 on the album charts, it was a tenacious seller that eventually pushed past the double-platinum mark. The second single, "Stellar," was a smaller-sized hit on rock radio, but the album's biggest song didn't hit the airwaves until 2001, when "Drive" became their first Top Ten hit on the pop charts. Incubus expanded their audience by playing Moby's Area:One package tour that summer, and with "Drive" still fresh in the public's mind, they released Morning View during the fall of 2001. It entered the charts at number two, confirming that Incubus had diligently worked themselves into stardom. "Wish You Were Here," "Nice to Know You," and "Warning" were all popular on rock radio, and the band naturally toured heavily in support -- this time as a headliner.
In early 2003, Incubus became embroiled in a contract dispute with Sony and filed a lawsuit to have their deal terminated under California labor laws. In April, the band announced the departure of bassist Dirk Lance. Within days, fellow Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger called upon his Time Lapse Consortium mate Ben Kenney (who had also played with the Roots) to be Lance's permanent replacement. The group remained a part of the Sony empire, however, and released A Crow Left of the Murder on Epic/Immortal in early 2004, which hit number two on the Billboard Top 200. Touring dates followed before Incubus headed home in November to take a well-deserved break.
The guys spent the next two years individually exploring things outside of the band -- including music, art, film, and literature -- though they also remembered to work on and finish their sixth album, which was recorded over a year's time in both L.A. and Atlanta. The resulting record, Light Grenades, debuted atop the charts upon its release in November 2006. The musicians then returned to their individual endeavors, with Boyd announcing in early 2008 that the group had taken a loose hiatus. Nevertheless, the following year found them issuing the two-disc hits compilation Monuments and Melodies and returning to the road for a summer tour. By 2010, they'd returned to the studio with longtime collaborator Brendan O'Brien, who helped them compose one of their darker albums to date, 2011's If Not Now, When? The album debuted at number two on the Billboard charts upon its July 2011 release.
As promotion for If Not Now, When?, Incubus rented a storefront on LaBrea Avenue in Los Angeles and launched a multimedia retrospective of their career, highlighted by four nights of live music by the band. Selections from those four nights were compiled for the 2012 live album Incubus HQ Live, released in August of that year. In early 2015 the band released a new single called "Absolution Calling," which would appear on Trust Fall (Side A), the first of two planned EPs. February 2017 saw the release of a new single, "Nimble B**tard," in anticipation of their eighth studio album. Aptly named 8 and co-produced by Skrillex, it dropped in April, preceded by a further single, "Glitterbomb." ~ Steve Huey

text: Hello everyone, I decided to join this forum bc I have heard that getting advice from other owners is the best way to get straight answers. I bought a brand new wrx, 2014 premium sedan in plasma blue. I love the car and though I have never owned a manual before, I practiced with it for a few weeks on the weekends while using a dd car. I just feel like I'm not getting good very quickly with this car . I love it to death but I really am still struggling with smooth start and stops, which kinda sucks bc I live in the city. I just feel like an idiot with no confidence and afraid I'm going to ruin this beautiful machine. I feel like I'm still not smooth with my clutch release to get going, and I over rev going 1st to second, giving a little jump when I first get into second. Once I'm movin and driving at normal speed I'm usually ok, even rev matching with some early limited success. But I have managed to stall it still while trying to go from a stop sign today at two different times and I'm just really frustrated. Any advice on my technique or advice about the car in general( is the car really stiff for the first few hundred miles? Thanks for not blowing me up for asking a dumb couple questions, I'm really looking for some advice here.

Softball Upsets Wisconsin in First Game of Tuesday's Doubleheader
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
MADISON, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Earlier this season, the Green Bay softball team stunned perennial power Notre Dame in a road win. The Phoenix (10-19, 3-6 HL) can now add #rv Wisconsin (30-9) to the list of BCS powers its defeated this season after a 2-1 victory over the Badgers in the first game of a doubleheader on Tuesday. The Badgers then used a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning to win game two 4-3.
Game 1: Green Bay 2, Wisconsin 1
Senior Allison Goecks (Beloit, Wis.) and sophomore Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) were the stars of game one. Goecks picked up her fifth win of the season in a complete game while allowing just three hits and one earned run while striking out and walking four. Mohrfeld picked up two of Green Bay's four hits in the contest, finishing 2-for-3 while scoring both runs.
With two outs in the bottom of the first, Wisconsin used an RBI double to take a 1-0 lead. The Phoenix wasted little time replying, as Mohrfeld led off with a triple. Junior Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) used a sacrifice play two plays later to bring Mohrfeld home at tie the game at one apiece.
Neither team could break through outstanding pitching performances from both sides before Mohrfeld picked up a single to right field in the top of the seventh. Two plays later, Reinke reached on an error that allowed Mohrfeld to cross home plate from second.
Goecks (5-6) held strong in the home half of the seventh, sealing the 2-1 win over the top vote-receiving team in the ESPN Softball Poll.
In addition to Mohrfeld's 2-for-3 day, senior Danielle Peerenboom (Appleton, Wis.) went 1-1 while junior Stacey Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) picked up the team's fourth hit in four trips to the plate.
Wisconsin's Meghan McIntosh picked up the loss (8-4) in a complete game while allowing four hits and two earned runs with six strikeouts and just one walk.
Game 2: Wisconsin 4, Green Bay 3
Green Bay jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in game two, but a two-run shot from the Badgers in the bottom of the sixth inning crushed the Phoenix's hopes of sweeping its in-state rival.
Senior Jess Hrncar (Bristol, Wis.) led off the contest with a double before freshman Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) singled to bring her home two players later for a 1-0 lead. Reinke reached on an error later in the inning, allowing both Mohrfeld and Michalkiewicz to cross home plate and grant the visitors a 3-0 advantage.
Wisconsin began to slowly chip away at Green Bay's lead in the bottom of the second with a two-out RBI double. The two-bagger cut Green Bay's lead to 3-1, but a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the third cut the margin to just 3-2.
With nobody out in the bottom of the sixth, Wisconsin's Whitney Massey hit a two-run homer to center to give the home team a 4-3 advantage, her eigth longball of the year. The Phoenix escaped the half-inning without further damage, but was unable to score in the top of the seventh.
Sophomore Lauren Danner (Kaukauna, Wis.) took the loss to bring her record to 1-2. She put in five innings of work while allowing 13 hits and four earned runs with three strikeouts and two walks. Freshman Briana Cavin (Elk Grove Village, Ill.) pitched an inning of relief with two walks.
Michalkiewicz led the way with a 1-for-3 effort and an RBI, while Hrncar finished 1-for-3 with a run scored. Mohrfeld went 1-for-2 and Peerenboom finished 1-for-3.
The Phoenix will return to action this weekend in a three-game series at Wright State.

Scene Info
The gloves come off when Sean Duran coaches Micah Brandt in the boxing ring. Duran cannot resist Brandt's big bubble-butt, especially when the young jock climbs the punching bag and opens his hole to Duran's probing tongue. Brandt gets on his knees and swallows Duran's thick cock to the base until he gags on the girth. Duran fucks his face then bends Brandt over to complete his training session by shoving his cock up his ass. Duran pounds Brandt mercilessly until both studs shoot huge loads all over Brandt's washboard abs and chest.

I Walking Tall was cool and even The Rundown were pretty good even if it had that Stifler dork in it but those are really the only movies he's done where he wasn't brought down by kids and animals and acting like a girl.
I understand that even Arnold did kiddy stuff later on in his career but he kicked a lot of butt for 10-12 years. Rock did two ok movies at best then nose dived.

Is there a maker for this part? It's been the hardest thing to find. I'm going for 501st approval. I saw on FettPride's site that he has one, so don't know if he is making those or not. His site is down and hasn't answered PMs in weeks.
Can I just make a leather one and make the 501st happy?

Experience the pleasure of rich desserts without the guilt.
Coconut Cream PieWith flavors better than the traditional version, the Cooking Light Test Kitchen shaved over 200 calories and 10 grams of saturated fat off this coconut cream pie while still maintaining its creamy, fluffy Italian meringue.
Peanut Butter PieThis light version ticks all the flavor boxes, and satisfies your craving for all that creamy, nutty goodness.
Vanilla Bean Crème BrûléeMelting the brown sugar topping in the microwave instead and pouring it over each chilled dessert keeps the custard cold so it can be served in the classic tradition. Vanilla beans, found in the spice section in the supermarket, are worth the extra expense.
Cool, Creamy Chocolate DessertYou can make this up to one day ahead, but spread the remaining whipped topping mixture over the chocolate pudding layer right before serving.
Lemon-Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Blueberry Sauce.This is a great make-ahead dessert. The creamy texture of the panna cotta is a nice match for summer fruit. Running a knife around the edge of each prepared custard makes it easier to remove to a plate.
TiramisuTiramisu is a great dessert to serve at dinner parties. Your guests will love the light and creamy taste of this 5-star dish, as well as the espresso drizzle on top.
Chocolate-Hazelnut MousseFluffy and rich, mousse is a classic make-ahead dessert. Serve this healthy version as a satisfying midday snack or an after-dinner indulgence.
Key Lime PieJust six ingredients needed for this refreshingly tangy homemade pie. Using a reduced-fat ready-made graham cracker crust cuts the prep time.
Cherries Jubilee Ice Cream PieThe filling for this ice cream pie combines vanilla ice cream with a cherry-brandy puree. Top with cherry-brandy sauce for an impressive finish.
Honey Crème Brûlée with RaspberriesHoney adds a unique sweetness that's complemented by the tart raspberries.
Chocolate ParfaitsUse sugar-free, instant chocolate pudding instead of regular for a low-sugar filling that's still rich and creamy.
Chocolate Chip CheesecakeTraditionally, a slice of cheesecake averages about 50 grams of fat per serving, but this one has a fraction of that amount, weighing in at just 5.3 grams per serving.
Brandied Berry Milk ShakeAdd brandy to this triple-berry milk shake that's strictly for grown-ups.
Caramel CustardBoost your calcium intake with a serving of dairy-packed custard.
Chocolate Fudge PieOur reviewers raved that this 5-star, make-ahead pie is easy to assemble and a definite crowd-pleaser.
Lavender-Scented Strawberries with Honey CreamShowcase the season's first berries in this rich, not-too-sweet dessert. Be sure to use Greek yogurt, which has been strained and is thus very thick and creamy.


text: I wondered about that as well. Did he give Oprah a time frame for his doping? I watched both interviews and don't recall his disclosing the years that he started and/or ended the doping. He had cancer in 1996, and Betsy Andreu alleged that he was doping before then. If he was doping all the way until his retirement from cycling in 2011, one has to wonder what additional health issues he's going to encounter.


text:
The Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News is speculating that based on new head coach Chip Kelly's press conference Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback for 2013 "is not likely on the current roster." Kelly was introduced and quickly expressed that nothing is on or off the table as far as personnel is concerned. Quarterback Michael Vick is owed $15.5 million in 2013. Thursday afternoon, Kelly told ESPN that he has not decided what to do with Vick by stating, "I don't have the answer. I know what a talent he is and have marveled of Michael since he was at Virginia Tech."
Fantasy Analysis:
Vick is guaranteed $3 million of his 2013 $15.5 million salary on March 11. It was previously considered a lock that Vick would return to the team next season, but Kelly's hiring changes that. The 32-year-old is coming off an injury-shortened season, is owed tons of money over the next few years, and Kelly may be leaving the door open for a potential change. A read-option offense led by Vick would certainly be a good fit though.

Re: Prepping to re-bed stanchions.
I just rebed my toe rails...there are 90 of them(fasteners)
80 or so per side where fine...
the 10 that needed were replaced...
thats how that works
I must add there are a lot more loads on stanchions if used correctly than on toerails...so I agree if you can youd do well getting new ones, but remember new is not always better especially regarding rigging and metals...
Re: Prepping to re-bed stanchions.
Have a few spare bolts, nuts and washers (or replace them all) I had a couple that siezed or were badly corroded.QUOTE]
Why go to the length of removing stanchion bases, or other hardware, and not replace all fasteners at the same time? Potentially corroded or stressed fasteners are a weak point in the re-install.
Re: Prepping to re-bed stanchions.
I got my butyl tape from Maine back a couple months ago, just now getting around to attempting the project. Thanks for all the advice, I found Maine's guide to potting holes last night too, not sure how I had missed it before. Thanks everybody.
Re: Prepping to re-bed stanchions.
Follow the instructions provided in the link to Compass Marine (Mainsail here on SN). It's an extra couple of steps, but fairly minimal time, and you will never have to worry about a wet core in those areas again. Also, order the butyl rubber for re-bedding from Mainsail, his is infinitely better than the Home Depot stuff.

Most boats do have wood cored decks. I took my power drill, put a finishing nail in the chuck with about 1/2" of the nail bent 90 degrees. Put the nail in all the holes and turned on the drill basically opening up the core and not making the holes in both layers of fiberglass any larger. After that, I filled the enlarged holes with epoxy. After that dried, I redrilled the holes. After remounting my stanctions, I knew if any water did leak thru, it would only come in contact with hardened epoxy and never soak into the wood core.
This is pretty much spot on, except that I overdrilled the holes first.
So the procedure I followed :
Remove core with nail
Countersink the top (and bottom if you can reach it)
Mask the bottom of the holes
Fill with epoxy
Drill correct hole for fasteners
Countersink the top of the hole (helps sealant do its job)
Assemble with butyl tape
Have a few spare bolts, nuts and washers (or replace them all) I had a couple that siezed or were badly corroded.
I filled with unthickened West epoxy, which will shrink a little when it sets so then you top off with some more. My deck is sloping, so the second batch of epoxy got colloidal silica additive to make it not run, and sit level with the deck.
Re: Prepping to re-bed stanchions.
you manually dry them...heaters blow driers etc...then take off all the loose stuff. pot(I preffer thickened epoxy as its easier to push into gaps and stuff and stay there)and then redrill to original size
again I stress climate, for example here it wont rain again till july...salty dry air on the boat
I have been contemplating for example making bronze bushings for my chainplate holes cause in essence if there is any moevement the bushing will wear and not the wood in the bulkhead, especially if you have water intrusion
I sealed off the bulkead edges to prevent stagnant water intrusion but I think pressed in bushings like used in motor vehicles will help prolong bulkhead life
OP sorry for the slight derail
I think if I may add that using other materials like delrin or nylon backing plates help prevent movement and water intrusion from movemeng and sealant failure thta casues decks to fail
wood os great it you constantly check it...the issue with wood backing plates for example is that wood is porous so it soaks up a lot of the leak you are trying to source so for stanchions say you had some nice nylon backing plates if you did have a leak and your deck holes are epoxied the only inconvenience would be extra bilge water
its extremely important to never add sealant from BELOW ever ever ever...if there is a leak you want to see it and fix it from above on any deck mounted hardware
stanchions included
the moment you seal from below you are kissing your decks goodbye in no time..especially if you have water intrusion and cored decks

Re: Prepping to re-bed stanchions.
I would pot the holes if you have any signs of water intrusion. Removing that first few mm of wood will let you know if there is water in the core.
If there is water in the core then you are onto a much bigger project, and one that I have no personal experience with. From reading a lot of threads it looks like the core will not dry out on it's own. Potting a wet core with epoxy can just trap the moisture, not eliminate it. It depends on how bad the situation is.
Epoxy is easy to deal with. I rebedded my stanchions one or two at a time on down days while cruising and didn't want to mess with it. If I were doing things again and back at my slip I'd pot them.

for example most of my deckware has crappy and loose fitted holes done by previous owners or even islander...specifically the main sheet track is HIDEOUS there is no hole that is not oval or lobsided and from below it looks like crap
same for my stanchion holes, however those do get bent out of shape from useage so its not all islanders fault, jejeje
Re: Prepping to re-bed stanchions.
down here stuff dries in seconds! jajaja
the point above is correct and is dependant not only on the condition of your core but your WEATHER
My advice is if you have any doubt drill over size by a big margin...dry...epoxy and seal and drill standard size...but like mitiempo says if the core is wet or damp or crumbly you are doing yourslef ni favors by simply sealing and redrilling
like mentioned on other threads there are CHEAP or budget WAYS of fixing delamineted or rotted cores without taking apart your decks
Re: Prepping to re-bed stanchions.
If the core is more than slightly damp it is best removed to the area where it is dry. Airing it out will not dry it. And if it remains wet the core will continue to rot away.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Turkish police had abused two teenage girls suspected of aiding Kurdish separatist forces. The judges found credible their complaints that Turkish police physically and sexually assaulted two teenage girls who were in their custody for allegedly working with Kurdish separatist groups. The court found the abuse entailed sodomy and forced virginity tests which violates international conventions. The Turkish government has promised to wipe out any examples of torture, but apparently the message still has not gotten down to those working in the police and army. The two girls were convicted in 1999 of being members of a terrorist group and sentenced to long terms in jail. The court ordered the Turkish government to pay the girls for their imprisonment and abuse.
The abuse of women goes deeper than just against those who support illegal groups, it pervades many aspects of Turkish society in which men dominate women and abuse them both physically and emotionally. Until Turkish women truly have equal rights they will be denied their rights as equal partners in society.

Alec Brown Tabbed Horizon League Player of the Week
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Following a grand week in which he averaged 20.5 points per game and became the 25th member of the program's 1,000-point club, junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) has been named the Horizon League Player of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday. It marks the first weekly honor for the All-Horizon League big man.
On Friday, the 7-foot-1 Brown scored 15 of his career-high 23 points in the second half to lead Green Bay to a 74-54 rout at Milwaukee. With five minutes left in the game, Brown flushed a fastbreak dunk to reach 1,000 points for his career.
En route to 9-of-18 shooting, Brown scored on two dunks, a three-pointer and a collection of jumpers and post moves. He added 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, eight rebounds and three blocked shots in helping the Phoenix to the nationally-televised win.
Earlier in the week, Brown had 18 points and six rebounds in a 73-61 loss at Valparaiso, scoring 14 points in the opening half before seeing his minutes limited due to foul trouble.
In 83 career games, Brown has compiled 1,004 points, 565 rebounds and 192 blocked shots. The all-time leader blocked shots in Phoenix history, Brown ranks seventh in all-time in the Horizon League and needs just eight more to become the fourth player in Horizon League history with 200 blocks. With 12 more, Brown will rank third in Horizon League history.
Averaging 12.6 points (12th), 6.7 rebounds (3rd) and 1.7 blocks (2nd), Brown ranks among Horizon League leaders in five different categories. In league play, he is averaging 14.1 points and three blocks per game.
Brown has led the Phoenix to five wins in its last six games by averaging 15.3 points. Green Bay heads to the second half of Horizon League play in a tie for second place.
The Phoenix will next be in action on Thursday night, playing at UIC at 7 p.m. in a game televised by Time Warner Cable Sports32. Green Bay will then appear in the Horizon League Game of the Week on Saturday, visiting Loyola at 1 p.m.

An interesting choice. Heard nothing but good things about them. An Ex-FBI agent I randomly met at the range bought one the same day we met and loved his (it was also chambered in .40 cal)
He let my brother fire it and my brother said it was fantastic. I wanted one a time ago, but they have since gone up in price from what I was once able to acquire one for.

Hidden, the sophomore release by British "art-rockers" These New Puritans, is now available Stateside. You know, as in: domestically. It's a lot of things, this aural assault : a mélange of the cinematic and the classical, the intimate and the evasive, the post-modern and the profound. However, one adjective that isn't applicable for what's quickly become my favorite release of the year? Sophomoric.
Spot-check this Most Correct clip for the album's single "We Want War," directed by Daniel Askill:
Created by Jordan Askill, I'm a bit in awe of that Battle Cat Head Piece . . .
Oh! And for those prone to the "Covet / Love It" when it comes to collectibles, These New Puritans have rarities to offer their disciples :
[ A deluxe version of the CD, complete with 80 pg. hardback book? Drool-worthy. ]
Full Disclosure: While I loathe band groupies [ Seriously : Try screaming at an art opening or academic conference — that's subversive…whereas offering to give roadies head for a laminate back-stage? Such a seventies' cliché; I'm yawning ], I have an insatiable affinity for the Limited-Edition / Signed-and-Numbered / Gatefold / Box Set / 3″ CD / 10″ EP / Colored Vinyl / Picture Disc of It All.
Alright, then. Moving right along…
[ Photo source : Last.fm ]
The video for "Elvis," a single from the band's premiere album Beat Pyramid, is also Most God, Indeed.
† "We're all waiting / Or Forever Made / And if there is a God, then please take me up…" †
Consider the gents on the handsome side? You're not alone. Twin brothers Jack [ vocals ] and George Barnett [ drums ] have been ogled by the fashion set since the band's inception in 2005. Before they'd even released a full-length album, designer Hedi Slimane commissioned the "band" [ translation: George, whom Slimane also featured on the catwalk ] to record a soundtrack for his final collection at Dior Homme, the "Hiver" 2007 runway show. This was Barnett's first professional modeling gig, though the demand for pale, angular creatures from the xy set has kept him busy: campaigns for Lanvin and Ray-Ban; editorials in Dazed & Confused, Zoo, Arena Homme +, 10, GQ, Another Man, and Vogue Hommes Japan — and runway work for dozens of designers, including Burberry Fall/Winter 10/11, Prada, YSL, Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh, Dries van Noten, Veronique Branquinho, Galliano, and Gucci.
However, insofar as far as my own taste goes? Not that you asked, but I'm backin' Jack over George. And speaking of back, let's do exactly THAT

Show synopsis Lena has just moved to the small, Southern town of Gatlin, where the only person who seems to understand her -- or dream of bigger places or ideas -- is a cute guy named Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich), who recognizes her instantly from the cryptic dreams he's been having every night. Lena is an orphan, and she's come to stay with her mysterious uncle, Macon Ravenwood (Irons), the patriarch of her powerful family. Powerful, because The Ravenwood clan are Casters, born with powers that ordinary mortals don't have, like the ability to move objects, control the elements, and even step out of normal space and time to communicate only with each other. But just as Lena feels ready to open up to Ethan, she discovers that their love is in imminent danger, because when female Casters turn 16, their destiny as either good or evil is revealed. Unwilling to let her nature be dictated by forces outside her control, Lena and Ethan set out together to uncover the strange, secret lore of their families' intertwined histories dating back to the Civil War, and figure out how to grant Lena the power to choose her own destiny.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
you need lots more timing at idle.
only 11 inhg of vacuum at idle is a problem with a cam that small. should be getting about 17 at 800 rpms.
low timing and improper fuel ratio will reduce vacuum.
I would run 15 initial, with 10 more from the vacuum advance on a manifold source (25 degrees at idle with advance).
then 35 to 36 total mechanical plus 10 from the vacuum advance (46 total).
your distributor should be full adjustable.
I think the only running 3-4° initial advance is part if not most of the problem. you need to get that up into the 14-18° range. I am not familiar with your Mallory distributor so you may need to work with it(weights, springs, total stops) to ensure this doesn't put your total timing over 38°.
You are setting it with the vacuum advance hose disconnected, right??
Lifter pump-up only happens in an over-rev situation, not in normal operation, you are looking in the wrong area unless something is wrong with the lifters from the get-go like incorrect sizing of parts in them, incorrect assembly, etc. Oil pressure alone, no matter how high it is, can't cause lifter pump-up. High pressure/thick oil only slows the lifters return to normal lash after it has been pushed into an over-rev over-clearance situation. Valve spring pressure is way higher than oil pressure.
|The springs are the the standard which came with the AFR heads. I compared them to the Comp cams spring specs and they were very close to the same. I did shim them up just a bit to add a few pounds and even them all out. I think maybe the ramps on the aftermarket (Comp) cam are a bit steep and along with the roller, cause the lifters to pump up. Haven't had time to get back into the engine. Will likely be Tuesday before I can test this theory to see if it works.
|I am still wondering about the valve spring height and/ or tension . I have caused hyd' lifters to pump-up by over-revving an engine but always was able to re-adjust themselves by just letting the engine idle for a few seconds , never more than half a minute .
Just found this online: zero lash?
"Hydraulic Lifter Preload and Pump-Up- Hydraulic lifters are intended to make up for valvetrain dimensional differences as well as providing a self-adjusting method of maintaining valve lash, or rather the lack of. By setting the valvetrain so the lifter plunger is depressed slightly, the lifter is able to compensate for these differences, making a convenient hassle-free valvetrain set-up. For performance applications, lifter preload is not needed or wanted. As rpm's increase, the lifter has a tendency to bounce over the back of the lobe as it comes back down from the maximum lift point. The pressurized oil fills the lifter body to account for this bouncing. Eventually, after several engine revolutions (fractions of a second), the oil can completely fill the lifter body and the plunger will be pushed up to its full travel (pump-up). Higher oil pressures can amplify this problem. With the lifter pre-loaded, this can cause a valve to run off its seat and can cause piston clearance issues if and when pump-up occurs. By setting the valvetrain preload at zero lash, or just beyond, as felt by the hands and fingers during the adjustment process, lifter pump up is prevented and in most cases, the cam will rev higher. This adjustment process will typically end up with about .003 to .007 of lifter preload. Ford tech and tuning articles in the late 60's actually urged 'stock' class racers to run a positive lash of .001-.003 on hydraulic cams."
|A Holly Tech sugessted that I increase the squiter size from 31 to 37, but it didn't have the desired effect. I can fine tune the carb later, probabbly end up as it came out of the box. After pulling the intake manifold today and adjusting valves, I noticed that several of the hydraulic lifters were stuck at the top and wouldn't move down or adjust inside the lifter. Thereafter chatted online with a Comp Cams tech and he said they must be "pumped up" and that I need to take them apart to release the pressure. Did that, much better and they then had a total adjustment range of about 1 1/2 turns, set them all at 1/2 turn. However, I just got it back together, started it up, and it's the same as before! I guess now I need to check an see if they are pumped up again, which might be lifting the valves off their seats? Anybody had this problem before? Not sure if this is the problem. It is idling OK, an occasional pop, but if I hit the throttle quick, a big fire comes up the carb. This might have to wait until next week, going fishing up at Lake Davis by Portola, for the Labor Day weekend.
Holley is correct, it's 1/2 idle vacuum in gear (for automatic) or in neutral for stick. On a stand you can't get into gear but if it's at 11hg manifold now....it'll drop in gear. 4.5 is my guess.
Also, you increased the accelerator pump size which is rarely done except double pumpers mostly. Not saying it's wrong but I think you're over fueled from both power valve and accel pump shot. You might have the idle mxture screws misadjusted?
The power valve should be closed at idle and open when you accelerate (when vacuum drops even more). At idle it's NOT in the idle circuit.
None of this might be causing your backfire though. If the backfires clears out I think the existing power valve will be an issue later.
About the Power Valve. Yes, I've seen the Holly Video but also seen several other online recomendations of selecting a power valve 1 to 2 below the intake vacuum, but yer it is running rich, but since I was trying to correct what appeared to be a lean backfire issue, thought I would try the rich recommendation to see if that cured the problem. It didn't, so I think the problem is with the valve lash adjustment. Engine is on a test stand, so economy isn't yet an issue and I will do a final carb tuning once I get it in the Falcon and out to the track. I've adjusted a lot of hydraulic lifters before, also the hot & messy method, but this engine is proving dificult. Last week I tried that method but when backing off the lifters I couldn't hear them clapping over the loud engine with all the noises from the electric water pump, the electric fuel pump and the mufflers. Maybe rollers cams are quieter; this is my first roller. The engine is on a test stand in my gargage and the Delta 50 Flowmasters are right there at the garage door. Now the other method: The springs on the lifters seem to be very soft giving little resistance when spinning the pushrods, so I'm going to pull the intake manifold so that I can see the lifters during adjustment. Hope to get the that done today.
You can cut the center out of an old valve cover to keep some of the oil from flying around- but it's still messy.
The list of Holley standard flow, single stage power valves available from Summit:
Holley high flow are available in 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 85, 105. They also have 4-window and dual stage PV's. Possibly others.
Quick Fuel has a 70 along w/others, Summit has their own line of PV's as does Proform, AED, BG and et cetera.
Thats the wrong power valve which will really dump too much gas. The 6 was better but still not correct. You want 1/2 of your idle vacuum which is 11....you need a 4.5 because they dont have a 5 so go one lower
Timing at idle?
That's the type of vacuum pump/gauge that I have. Have adjusted the hydraulic lifters three times. Last time I back them off as far as I felt comfortable. It's difficult to feel the resistance of the hydraulic lifters except when the are all the way down. Could be the new 5w20 oil, but I will try it again with intake manifold removed, so that I can see the lifters move.
|You have to use a diagnostic vacuum gage w/an un-damped needle. The type of vacuum gage associated w/economy driving and such have damped needles- this is not what's wanted for diagnosing engine problems and for tuning.
Backfire through Carb?
Finally got my custom build 302 up and running but can't get rid of an idle backfire and backfires on initial acceleration. Have adjusted Holly accelerator pump, idle jet screws, increased accelerator squitter from 31 to 37, squitter engages immediately. Increased power valve from 6 to 9.5 (vacuum = 11 at idle) Adjusted floats. Moved timing all over,(seems to like it around 3 to 4 degrees, but it still backfires. Runs good at higher rpms, no backfire at all. Compression test shows cylinders from 175 to 183. I am starting to suspect crossfire in the distributor, but it's all new. Need help?
Engine is as follows:
91 Ford Roller cam 302 block.
KB flat top pistons (about 10 to 1 compression).
AFR heads 185's with 58cc. (1388's)
Summit Racing stage II vented intake manifold.
Holly 4150 Street Avenger with vacuum advance secondarys, electric choke.
Holly Blue fuel pump set at 7 psi.
Comp Cams XE264HR-14, roller cam, 110 degrees separation (not too radical) set at about 3 degree advanced.
Mallory SS42 distributor with vacuum advance.
Mallory Hyfire 6AL
Mallory coil 29440
Taylor 409 - 10.4mm plug wires
Champion RC9YC (one step colder than standard).
Moroso electric water pump.
Full length ceramic coated headers, 1 5/8" to 3" H pipe, and dual 2 1/2" Flowmaster Delta 50's.
No smog equipment, egr, or PVC on engine (will be going in a 64 Falcon).
I refitted plug wires at dist. cap. No change. Plugs: # 1,2,& 6, are black with soot. The others are a bit darker than before, but that's likely because of the richer carb settings. Ran compression check: 175,175,178,183,180,180,180,180,180. Could it be that the intake manifold isn't seating well with the heads? But wouldn't that show on the vacuum readings?
