Just thought I'd let the guy's know I'm getting settled in, got my bearings straight, been up to the Council Grove lake a few times, even got some dog work in this week! We are really liking it here, lots of really cool folks here. Duckdozer and Mallyard are go to guy's, and got to hang out with Dozer at the Emporia hunter's party.
Lots of things to do and see for the hunter, and I'm really impressed with the WIHA areas to hunt. You guy's are truely blessed with that, Calif. would never have anything close to that. I know it doesn't seem like it when your used to it, but Kansas hunters are fortunate with there prices on licenses, tags, stamps, and area's to hunt, believe me!
Kids are settled in school, and like it here very much aswell.
Had a group of 6 gaddy's go over the house the other day, and found a flock of about 100 woody's on a creek yesterday! Can't wait!

Ed Helms
He's no stranger to the #1 spot and Tom Cruise took his latest flick "Mission: Impossible- Rogue Nation" to the top of the rankings for its opening weekend.
The action-packed film, also starring Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson, raked in $56 million, followed by "Vacation" with $14.9 million in earnings.
Back in the 1980s, "National Lampoon's Vacation" was one of the hottest movies, and now Ed Helms and Christina Applegate are looking to make a new "Vacation" for a new generation.
Slated to hit theaters July 29th, the forthcoming flick also features original stars Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo as well as a very hunky (and bulging) Chris Hemsworth.
Getting fans super excited for the new release, Universal Pictures shared the first trailer for "Stretch" earlier this week.
The action-packed clip features Patrick Wilson as a limo driver who is in desperate need of a quick hunk of cash.
Pairing up two of our favorite funny people on the big screen, the first full trailer for David Wain's "They Came Together" hit the web on Tuesday (April 29).
Debuting on BuzzFeed, the darling clip stars Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler on their journey towards love.
The late great Leslie Nielsen made Lieutenant Frank Drebin a slapstick favorite in the "Naked Gun" films, and now Ed Helms will pick up where he left off.
According to a report, the "Office" star has signed on to head up the forthcoming reboot from Paramount Pictures, and "Reno 911" masterminds Thomas Lennon and R. Ben Garant will handle the screenplay.
Stepping out to support education, stars flocked to the STARS 2013 Benefit Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Wednesday (October 23).
Hosted by Ed Helms, the evening supported the Fulfillment Fund, which empowers educationally and economically underserved students
Though a Tuesday opening isn't exactly normative in the film industry, two new flicks hit screens across America last night (August 6).
"We're the Millers" pulled in $1.7 million from 2,700 theaters, marking a decent showing for stars Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, Jason Sudeikis, Ed Helms.
Showing off their creative prowess, the boys in Mumford & Sons brought in a few friends for their new music video for "Hopeless Wanderer."
The "I Will Wait" hitmakers replaced themselves with Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Ed Helms and Will Forte, and the whole ordeal comes off flawlessly.
Adding to the already deafening pre-release buzz, "We're the Millers" has just unveiled a hilarious new red band teaser trailer.
Stars Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis throw out a few expletives in a pre-roll introduction, and it's important to note that the video isn't necessarily safe for work.
Showing some love to their Brazilian fans, the cast of "The Hangover Part III" showed up at the big premiere in Rio de Janeiro last night (May 28).
Bradley Cooper arrived at the swanky affair looking hunky as he hobnobbed with costars Justin Bartha, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong, and Heather Graham.

The situation: I have a class in the school I work who are all at different levels (which I wrote more about here). This year they have gone up to the advanced book and it is proving very difficult for some of them.
One of my main problems with this book (Cutting Edge Advanced) is that it handles whole chunks of grammar or difficult vocab in one or two exercises.
The question is how to make the vocab part interesting without just reeling off dictionary style definitions. Another problem I should add is the fact that, unlike the other Cutting Edge books, the Advanced book does not have a mini-dictionary in the back but a 'phrase-builder', which I find crap). My students/school do not have dictionaries either.
Take this list, for example, from the first reading text of the book:
wax euphoric
(and it goes on!)
I can safely say that perhaps one of them knew some of these words but most didn't know any.
My question: how can I work these in without taking forever (in both prep and lesson time) or boring the students to death?
Any and all advice would be much appreciated!!!

Two people accused of causing the death of a man at a Capitol Hill District home over the summer have pleaded guilty to their roles in the man's death.
A 17-year-old teen pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 3rd District Juvenile Court, while 21-year-old Ammon Karr entered a guilty plea to obstructing justice in adult court.
A juvenile judge sentenced the teen to confinement by the Youth Parole Authority, possibly until his 21st birthday, according to court records.
The Salt Lake Tribune does not typically identify juveniles charged with crimes. The teen could remain in a juvenile facility until he turns 21, but could be paroled earlier depending on his behavior and other factors, court officials said.
Karr is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 7.
In exchange for their pleas, a charge of obstruction of justice was dismissed against the teen and a charge of aggravated assault was dismissed against Karr.
Those two defendants, along with Adam Karr, 26, were charged in connection with the fatal stabbing of Kaleb Yazzie, 22, of Midvale, during a July 31 fight at the home near Girard Avenue (560 North) and Desoto Street (40 East).
Charges of murder and obstructing justice are still pending against Adam Karr in 3rd District Court. His preliminary hearing has been scheduled for March 5.
The trio were attending a party at the Girard Avenue home when Ammon Karr and Yazzie got into an argument, according to charging documents.
Yazzie left, but later returned to get his liquor. The two Karrs and the 17-year-old allegedly went outside to fight Yazzie, according to the charging documents.
During the fight, Adam Karr allegedly stabbed Yazzie in the chest several times with a knife. When Yazzie collapsed, police allege the teen dragged Yazzie out of the yard and down the road to an alley and stomped on his head.
The trio then allegedly changed their bloody clothing and put it in a bag along with a small folding knife that was used to stab Yazzie, documents show.

Hi there! My name's Savanna and I'm from Florida. I'm very familiar with the Rebel Legion and 501st Legion, my mom and brother are both members. I have a Jedi costume to submit to the Rebel Legion next year when I turn 18, but I wanted something for the 501st to submit as well. I'd love to be a trooper of some sort (animated clones are my favorite) but at 5'2" and 100lbs, I'm not exactly your ideal trooper size.
My ultimate dream is to have a Zam Wesell costume someday. I have done plenty of research on the costume and know that I won't be able to finish (or fund) it in time for my 18th birthday next year. But that's not stopping me! I wanted to join the boards here to get familiar with experienced Zammers and ask questions when I need. Any advice on what I should start with would be much appreciated! I figured I could start working on some of the little detailed pieces of the costume and then work up to the harder stuff. Does that sound like a good idea?

With a week until the season-opening game for the Carolina Panthers (and most teams), wide receiver Steve Smith is looking good. Running back Jonathan Stewart , not so much.
Smith practiced Sunday for the first time in nearly two weeks after coming down with a foot infection.
"He went back to his normal practice mode -- 100 percent, all the time," head coach Ron Rivera said of Smith. "So it was a lot of fun watching Steve back on the football field."
Conversely, Stewart is still not ready to practice due to a sprained ankle he suffered last Sunday against the Jets. He did do some running in a pool and on a treadmill, but Rivera wouldn't guess if Stewart could play versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, at least not until he is able to practice.
Fantasy Analysis:
I'm not a big fan of the Panthers' RB situation for fantasy purposes, but DeAngelo Williams would be a very strong start against the Bucs if Stewart can't play. Mike Tolbert would be Carolina's No. 2 running back. We'll know a lot more about Stewart's health when the Panthers hold the usual game-week practices on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
It looks like all systems go for Smith. He is a fine WR2 this week and going forward.

Led by librarians on behalf of libraries
OCLC operates under principles and systems of shared governance across several groups: Global and Regional Councils, the Board of Trustees, and the OCLC Executive Management Team.
Our members guide the development of OCLC's programs, policies, strategy and services. That responsibility is reflected in our leadership structure.
Sandra Yee
OCLC Board Chair
Dean of University Libraries and the School of Library and Information Science, Wayne State University
Global and Regional Councils
Members from around the globe are grouped by three Regional Councils—Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia Pacific. Each region determines its own leadership structure, programs and priorities, and facilitates communication at the local level. Regional Councils elect representatives to serve on the OCLC Global Council. There are 48 Global Council delegates, who elevate members' interests and opportunities to OCLC's leadership team and the Board of Trustees. Global Council delegates are also responsible for electing six members to the OCLC Board of Trustees.
"Change is a constant for OCLC as it is for libraries. The next year will be one of determining how the Councils, and particularly the Americas Regional Council, can be even more influential in the relationship of members with the cooperative. Be part of a global library community that makes a difference."
Bonnie Allen
Chair, Americas Regional Council Executive Committee
Dean of James E. Walker Library, Middle Tennessee State University, USA
"Whether we're sharing our special collections or our most popular materials, membership in OCLC is an important part of the Asia Pacific Region. Our members' contributions help to preserve, educate, and grow our heritage and cultures which benefits the world by providing access to our unique materials in the wide variety of languages and scripts of the region."
Howard Amos
Chair, Asia Pacific Regional Council Executive Committee
University Librarian, University of Otago, New Zealand
"Members of OCLC share a commitment to advance the cooperative. Together we help shape the future of libraries by identifying regional priorities with regard to OCLC's services."
Cendrella Habre
Chair, EMEA Regional Council Executive Committee
University Librarian,Riyad Nassar Library, LAU Libraries, Lebanon
Peter Sidorko
University Librarian, The University of Hong Kong
President, OCLC Global Council (2016–2017)
Board of Trustees
The 14-member Board of Trustees approaches its responsibilities in a unique way—it answers to and represents members, not shareholders or venture capitalists. The Board guides the vision of the cooperative, shaping OCLC's strategy and goals. It also fulfills the fiduciary duty of protecting OCLC's shared assets and investments. In addition, the Board is responsible for recruiting and working with the OCLC President and CEO, and for monitoring the cooperative through a dedicated audit process. The Board meets four times a year and its work is done by seven committees:
Audit Committee
Together with the Board and executive management, the Audit Committee evaluates the performance of independent auditors, reviews auditors' plans and processes, and reviews audited financial statements. This committee also oversees risk assessment and mitigation plans.
Board Governance Committee
Assists in maintaining continuity of Board membership and managing the internal affairs and self evaluation of the Board. The Committee also assists with other duties assigned to it by the Board.
Executive Committee
The chairs of each committee, the Board Chair and the President and CEO coordinate the work across the Board committees. The Executive Committee exercises the authority of the Board in the management of the affairs of the corporation when the board is not in session.
Finance and Investment Committee
Responsible for the oversight of the financial health of OCLC. The Finance Committee reviews interim and annual financial results and the annual budget plan, the approval of loans, capital expenditures, mergers, acquisitions, dispositions and special expenditures. This committee also reviews long-term investment policy and banking resolutions and recommends action by the Board.
Membership Committee
Reviews and updates membership and governance protocols, which determine how membership is defined. The committee is comprised of both Board members and Global Council members, and contributes to the formation and constitution of the Global Council.
Personnel and Compensation Committee
Provides oversight review of compensation and benefits for the employees of the corporation. This committee evaluates and reports to the Board of Trustees on matters concerning management performance, employee compensation and personal policies, management development and continuity plans, and approves (but does not administer or manage) employee compensation and benefit programs.
Technology Planning Committee
Evaluates and reports to the Board on appropriate matters related to technology, including OCLC's engagement with emerging technologies that appear well-suited to helping libraries better serve their user communities.
Trustees listen carefully to members in order to better understand and address the issues affecting libraries in today's changing environment. See the minutes of past Board meetings.

5 Tips to Maintain Your Fitness During the Holiday Season
The holiday season is notorious for decadent treats, calorie-laden drinks and a jam-packed schedule. So it's no wonder that the Thanksgiving feast, watching football and festive beverages are in your top 10 list of things to be thankful for kicking off this holiday season. However, breaking out the elastic waistbands and stocking up on cookies and candies can wreak havoc on your health and fitness goals. With some careful preparation and using some tips from football, you can scoreboard the holiday season with confidence.
Have a game plan
Like many others, you may be spending the next couple months celebrating holidays with families, often traveling to get there, plus going to parties and managing your normal day-to-day on top of it all. It's easy to let fitness fall by the wayside. But just professional football teams, going in with a game plan can make an enormous difference in setting yourself up for success. If you don't subscribe to using calendars and lists throughout the rest of the year, try to make an exception for the holiday season.
Whether you prefer print or digital, there are a myriad of ways to create a to-do list and schedule. A weekly calendar and task list can give you an idea of everything you have coming up so you don't feel blindsided by that child's holiday party or Christmas dinner at Aunt Debbie's you might have forgotten about. A daily to-do list with tasks and times can keep you focused on getting projects done without losing track of the day or forgetting what you were doing. Click here for a free weekly and daily organizer you can use to stay organized.
Start by adding any concrete meetings, appointments or parties in your schedule. Then start adding tasks you need to accomplish each day in order to be ready when your next event rolls around. Last, but not least important, schedule your workout. If you're incredibly busy, aim for two or three workouts per week. It will keep you in the goal-achieving mindset without undoing all the hard work you've done throughout the year or making you feel guilty for not getting other things accomplished.
Optimize the plays
The play clock only has so many seconds on it, just as you only have so many hours in the day. Make the most of the time you've scheduled for a workout by performing the Sprint 8® workout. This amazing 20-minute aerobic workout has been medically proven to boost energy, reduce body fat, promote lean muscle mass, improve your cholesterol and increase bone density through the natural release of human growth hormone.
Each Sprint 8 workout consists of:
- A four-minute warm up and cool down
- Eight, 30-second sprints
- Eight, 90-second active recovery periods.
That's only four minutes of intense cardio per session. When performed three times per week, that equals 12 total minutes of high-intensity exercise per week and only an hour total of exercise.
Plan for substitutions
Exercise and diet go hand in hand. Although it's extremely helpful to keep up with a semi-consistent fitness routine throughout the holidays, incorporating some healthy eating throughout can keep weight gain at bay. Of course, everyone indulges a little during the holidays, but some simple, tasty substitutions can allow you to enjoy without feeling guilty or miserable afterwards.
Love potatoes? Try mashed cauliflower. It offers the same creamy, fluffy texture without all of the starch and calories. You can still add some of your favorite mix-ins and toppings for a more traditional mashed potato flavor. Click here for a recipe idea. You can also forgo the sweet potato casserole by making baked sweet potatoes topped with a little butter, maple syrup and cinnamon. Or, try oven-baked sweet potato fries.
Can't pass up dessert? Apple, blueberry, pumpkin and pecan – pies are the quintessential dessert of the holidays. It can be tough to say "no," to one or more helpings with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Try eliminating some calories by taking out the crust and making "crumbles" instead of pies. You still get a little buttery, flaky crunch. Another tip is to make your fillings using fresh fruit instead of canned fruit. It's extra effort, but the taste is equally, if not more, incredible and it's more health conscious on many levels.
Take TV timeouts
Yes, there are parades and football games and Christmas specials to watch. However, scheduling some timeouts from TV-watching may be just the ticket to keep you from feeling lethargic and falling asleep during your third college football game of the day. Take advantage of nice weather and get outside for an hour.
Plan a sledding event with friends or family for a fun way to spend time with those you care about and get some exercise in. Schedule a game of two-hand touch or half-court basketball between dinner and dessert to stay awake and earn some of those sweets you'll consume. Other ideas include building a snowman or snow fort, ice skating, skiing or snowboarding.
Celebrate your success
When football players score a touchdown, they don't wait to get home to do their end zone celebration. You shouldn't have to either. Only ate one piece of pie? Skipped the potatoes? Ate white meat instead of dark? Good for you! Celebrate your small successes with family and friends in person, on the phone or online. You may even want to join a like-minded group on an online community like SparkPeople ahead of time to stay inspired and to have a place to brag where your achievements will be supported. You can even post your success here in the comments section.
The holidays are a flurry of activity, but it doesn't have to be a time of dread or diet deceit leading up to the New Year. Following these simple tips will help you stay on the ball and keep you focused on your health and fitness goals throughout even the busiest weeks.
Have a plan in place or maybe some tips that have helped you in the past? Share them in the comments.

Women's Basketball Controls Paint Play to Get by Cleveland State, 59-56
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Attacking the paint throughout the contest and getting a career performance from freshman Mariah Monke (Fergus Falls, Minn.) in her first collegiate start, the Green Bay Phoenix picked up a big conference win with a narrow 59-56 victory over Cleveland State on Friday evening at the Kress Events Center.
Monke finished the game with a career-high 17 points and seven rebounds and senior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) added 13 as the duo combined for 30 of Green Bay's points, with 28 of those coming in the paint. All told, the Phoenix received 44 of its 59 points on the night in the paint, tying a season-high that had already been achieved three times this season.
The win kept the Phoenix in sole possession of first place with a record of 9-2 in the Horizon League and 16-7 overall. Cleveland State dropped to 13-12 overall and 8-4 in the conference.
Cleveland State scored the first points of the game, but Monke started a 12-4 run for the Phoenix as the team went up 12-6 just over five minutes into the contest. Finding a home in the lane, Monke scored the first six points for the Phoenix to give the team a lead it would not relinquish. Classmate Mehryn Kraker (West Allis, Wis.) and sophomore Ellen Edison (Maple Grove, Minn.) also scored during the run.
The Vikings pulled to within two points with 13:12 on the clock (12-10), but a quick 5-0 spurt over the next four minutes for Green Bay that featured layups by Edison and Monke and a Ranger free throw gave the home team its largest lead of the half (17-10).
Green Bay maintained its seven-point advantage until the 3:00 mark (27-20) before Cleveland State pulled to within three points, 30-27, at the break. The Phoenix attacked the paint in the opening stanza, receiving 24 of its 30 points in the lane. However, Cleveland State was able to grab 11 offensive rebounds, resulting in 10 second chance points for the visitors.
It was a tense second half, featuring one tie and two lead changes in the early going. Cleveland State led as late as 14:48 in the contest (39-40), but a big layup by Ranger with 14:05 on the clock put the Phoenix up for good. Continuing to lead by one with just under 13 minutes remaining (43-42), a quick 6-0 scoring spurt over four minutes by Green Bay gave the Phoenix a little cushion as it extended its lead to seven points (49-42). Ranger, Kraker and Monke all scored during the run.
Green Bay led by as many as eight points down the stretch, but Cleveland State mounted a late rally in the final 1:36 to keep the Phoenix fans on the edge of their seats. With Green Bay up, 58-52 Haley Schmitt hit a layup and GB junior Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) fouled Kiersten Green, sending her to the line where she hit both free throws to pull the Vikings to within two points (58-56) with just over a minute remaining.
The Phoenix missed on its next two shots, but Megan Lukan and Kraker came up with big offensive rebounds to keep the ball in Green Bay's possession. Inbounding after a Cleveland State foul, Megan Lukan was fouled by Green. Lukan hit the first but her second bounced out of the rim and into the hands of Cleveland State's Schmitt with seven seconds remaining. The Vikings hurried the ball down the court and Green put up a long-range attempt from in front of the Cleveland State bench but it clanked off the rim as the Phoenix held on for the final 59-56 margin.
Monke (17) and Ranger (13) led the Phoenix in scoring, while Monke and Megan Lukan had a team-best seven rebounds. Lukan also posted a game-high seven assists while not committing a turnover. Green Bay finished shooting 46.4 percent from the field (26-56) but was just 44.4 percent from the free throw line (4-9) and 17.6 percent (3-17) from deep.
The Green Bay defense limited the best shooting team in the conference to 22.6 percent (7-31) shooting from three and 37.3 percent (22-59) from the field. Cleveland State controlled the boards, 39-32, and also had an 18-8 advantage in second chance points. Cori Coleman led the team with 17 points while also becoming the 24th player in program history to reach 1,000 career points. Green added 14 points, while Gordon had a game-high 10 rebounds.
The Phoenix return to action on Sunday, hosting Youngstown State at 1 p.m. for its annual PinkZone contest.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The Street Avenger 670 Holley has been flawless on my Fastburn 350. Nothing against AFB style carbs, that is all I messed with in high school. I like Holley carbs and once you learn them they are real easy to tune.
New math? What are you talking about. My edelbrock carb has been in service for over 10 years and is fine. I could care less how old yours is. Why would You imply that yours is as old as mine, or think that ? That is your inference. My statement is testifing to edelbrocks reliablility over time. Are you the center of this universe.
Edelbrock is not some super carb, but again neither is holley. At least I listed some benefits over the holley. You can go either way with carbs depending on what your doing with it.
You said it. Im not even gonna try. Maybe one day you should.
Have a nice day.
|try the quick fuel slayer they make them in 600 and 750. bothe are on the 3310 platform and i ahve the 600 and the throttle response is and low rpm torque is way better then with the 2 600 eddys ive had on it. plus you dont have to worry about vaperlock as much as with the eddys because the float bowl are not setting directly on the intake plus it has alot of tuning features of the higher priced race carbs.
I've owned my '71 since 1973, and the Holley was on it when I bought it used in 1973. It got replaced in 2000 when I put that first POS Edelbrock on. Not sure when the original owner put the Holley on the 427, as I never asked when I bought it.
Yes, with a lot of street/strip miles on the car, I finally wore the throttle shaft to a little excessive slop and decided to not bush it.
-For maximum performance, select a carburetor that is rated higher than the engine CFM requirement. Use 110% to 130% higher on single-plane manifolds. For dual-plane manifolds use 120% to 150% higher .
That is why 750cfm Qjets are on 305s.
My 305 cam stock with a 750 q jet. It is awesome. Read cliffs book on tuning them . They will not disapoint.
BB71, wore it out ? My edelbrock is 10+ years old and like new. You are doing something wrong if it wears out in 10 years. Not for performance, better rethink that addice. Edelbrock has been researching their performance products longer than you have.
Check my dyno sheet in my photos. That is a 440 RPM with 750 cfm package making 500+ hp in a 71 cuda. I call that performance wouldnt you?
wrong, even my old factory 1987 camaro Z-28 with a 305 came with a 750cfm Q-jet from the factory. but like Silver Surfer mentioned they were a spreadbore design carb.
since you seem to be an eddy fan take a look here
Edelbrock 45411 - Edelbrock Performer 350 C.I.D. 9.0:1 Crate Engines - Overview - SummitRacing.com
that's a mild 320hp 350 with a 650cfm eddy carb
or how about this one
Edelbrock 46404 - Edelbrock Performer Hi-Torq 350 C.I.D. 9.0:1 Crate Engines - Overview - SummitRacing.com
that's still a mild built 360hp 350 with a 750cfm eddy carb (i think it would be fine with a 650 though)
this one
Edelbrock 45924 - Edelbrock Performer RPM E-Tec 9.5:1 350 C.I.D. Crate Engines - Overview - SummitRacing.com
still a very streetable engine at 435hp 350 using a 800cfm eddy carb
now i dont agree with some of these carb sizes, but that is edelbrock for you, they are not ment for performance in my opinion. the OP said that he has a ZZ4 short block with mildly worked alm heads, and a GM hot cam which is pretty much the GM 350/350hp ZZ4 crate motor, and even GM Performance recomends either the 650CFM or the 670CFM carb for this motor.
|Silver Surfer
if you use a simple math formula. it says to use a 500cfm carb for a street driving application and a "650 for all out racing" the 600 is more suited for a 350 daily drivin street application
considering most came with 500cfm 2 barrels that ran great. the 600 is a better choice for this set up IMO and most engine builders will agree.
and the cars that came with 750's had 4 speed manuals in them or were muscle cars with soild lifter cams
if that is the case then why did most all 350's comming from the factory came with a 750CFM Q-jet. Dont get me wrong I agree with you in part, but not all the way. throttle response between a 600 and a 650 will be next to identical, but the 650 will allow you to run a little more RPM without choking out. I've run a 750DP (mildly modified) and a 850DP on my 385 street/strip motor, and I haven't noticed any difference in the down low throttle response, the only real difference i have seen (can't really feel it) is past 6000rpm, the 850DP wants to carry me to 7000rpm where as the 750 dies off around 6500. the 850 gets me another .15-.2 in the 1/4mile. (both are specifically tuned for my motor).
now, would there be a big difference between running a these 600 & 650 carbs when you are talking about the differences between a double pumper and a vacuum secondary carb, absolutley.
I still say a 650CFM vac secondary carb is what you want. a 600 will start to choke out around 5000rpm
I'm not even gonna try to talk you into a Holley spinn, as I know you can never talk me into a Qjet or a Edelbrock. A Holley is not the first carb I grew to know and love, but it's the one I've learned to like best, and I've had great performance with them on daily drivers, or performance cars.
After many years of using a Holley on my 427 Camaro for both street and strip, I literally wore it out. I decided to give the edelbrock another try, as I hadn't used one in years. I suffered with poor performance in stop and go driving, and even worse when trying to merge on freeway ramps. I bought everything edelbrock reccommended to get it to work right, and eventually got them to replace it. Next one was the same issues. I suffered through several months of trying to get it to perform and finally tossed it and bought another 750 Holley with vacuum secondaries like I had before. Bolted it on and never touched it. That was in 1999, and the '71 is still running great today.
There's nothing you can say that will get me to change from Holleys.
its this simple
do you want crisp fast throttle response? or do you want it to hesitate and have slow throttle response?
if you want it crisp a 600CFM carb with vac secondarys is the way to go and youll get better fuel economy.
if you want it to hesitate its a 650-670cfm carb
im running an 850 Mec Sec DB on a 496 thats almost 2 times the size of your motor so you do the math a 600 is the ticket here all day everyday!
I to would choose the holley first, I don't have bunch of technical data to back up why, only my experiences with edelbrocks. I have attempted to use 2 edelbrock carbs, one as a replacement for a Q-jet, and one on my very first engine build while in high school. I had problems with both. I ended up rebuilding the Q-jet and on the other motor I put a 3310 Holley 750 which required very little work to get tuned right. For a street motor I don't have anything wrong with a Q-jet except that once they need to be rebuilt they never seem to be the same anymore. It could just be me. I've rebuilt numerous holley's and never had any problems with them. I will admit that I have never used one of the newer edelbrock carbs.
When it comes right down to it, I'm just not a fan of edelbrock products besides their intakes.
Cool, but do you have anything to say that makes them your first choice?
The transition and part throttle calibrations are far superior on the road. Hollies have 3 hole steps in the plates. The smaller volume bowls arent going dry unless you really are up over 5500rpms . Cant leak fuel , unlike the holley where the gaskets seals the fuel. Rod metering and jets are a snap. No crazy power valve that is either 6.5 rating or wrong. All it is are holes. AFB/AVS/Qjet has a rod in the fuel jet hole helps that maintain velocity at all rpms. The spring and balance system keeps the side to side evened out. No powervalve boost indexing needed for superchargers.
Just a few things to think about if you drive your car.
Usually people like the first carb they learned on. Also holleys were rumored to be on all the 80's drag cars so they had to be better,. Superstition. They were replacing qjets with them constantly in the 80's. A Qjet is a fine carb and could never figure that downgrade out.
Bad mood, maybe. Please tell me some ways that holley is better under 5000 rpm. I am sorry to have brought this up, but am curious what others think.

Kevin Grandia | May 9, 2007
By Kevin Grandia • Wednesday, May 9, 2007 - 10:57
With the announcement today by News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch that the media conglomerate is joining the battle to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the big question here at DeSmogBlog is whether this means Fox News will end its peddling in global warming junk science.
Steve Milloy (aka. "The Junkman") is a regular Fox News columnist and tireless campaigner in the war against climate science. A quick read of Milloy's website and you will find the usual laundry list of long-held global warming denier arguments.
Milloy was at one point the director of an organization called the Advancement of Sound Science Coalition (TASSC), which by many is considered the grand-daddy of modern industry front groups. TASCC cut its teeth on the war against tobacco smoke and later expanded into other areas like global warming.
At today's announcement, Murdoch stated that "Our audience's carbon footprint is 10,000 times bigger than ours … Imagine if we succeed in inspiring our audiences to reduce their own impacts on climate change by just 1 percent. That would be like turning the state of California off for almost two months."
I would suggest one of the first big steps would be to ensure quality coverage of science issues like global warming. Offer viewers the real scientific story. That is not to say that other scientific opinions should be somehow censored, but instead there should be effort put into ensuring that these other opinions represent the current scientific thinking on the issue of global warming.
In other words, throw out the "junk science."

How many of you guys dye your boots rather than use acrylic paint? Is there a pro or con to either? Just got my MoW size 12's and I'm debating which way I should go...

How many of you guys dye your boots rather than use acrylic paint? Is there a pro or con to either? Just got my MoW size 12's and I'm debating which way I should go...
BCB, I used a series of washes.... dyluted paint. It allows you to layer the weathering until you have it where you like... and you can focus on certain areas and shapes just like painting.
I *just* finished painting mine with acrylics. No layering or complicated stuff though,
you know its funny.. i am just about to paint mine too, and i was going to ask the same question last night... the acrylics look great.. what color did you end up using just black and a gray? did you water it down a ton or did you just cake it on and rub it in? :)
The black is just semi gloss straight from the jar. The grey is about a 50/50 mix of black and white. I used a flat brush for acrylics to brush it on. No paint was watered down, btw. Hope this helps! :)
Yeah, ordinary craft paints. I haven't gotten them wet yet so I have no idea if the paint comes off from a little rain. But it should be easy to touch up. It's some kind of acrylic lacquer paint if that helps.
I did mine last night.. I used Acrylic it looks really good too..
Here are a few little tips i have for Acrylic paint:
- When you paint make sure you have one of the angle brushes. a long with the other brushes it helps when you are trying to get into some of the tight spaces without getting it on the sole.
- When you go by the paint, instead of buying black and white and mixing them there is a 50/50 mix grey color, that way its a uniform color.. remember you will be dirtying them up too..
- The best brushes to use are a synthetic brush (easy to clean) I just bought a pack of different sizes cheap at the craft store
- Don't let the paint dry on the brush.. if you need to set it down or something clean the brush really quick with soap and water.. i just had a glass of Dial hand soap and water and it worked great..
most of these tips i got from a buddy of mine that was an Art School Grad.
hope they help!
I think the small unevenness grey shades paint adds to the dirty look. But that's just me, and it wasn't intentional. If you aren't like me, get grey paint. It's a lot easier than mixing and trying to get the same shade every time. :)

Littleton Harvest Festival unites seasons greatest hits
By SARA YOUNG-KNOX
Specia to the Union Leader | October 22. 2012 9:30PM
At the Gathering of the Jack O Lanterns in 2011, the artistry of pumpkin carvers illuminated the river rocks. (COURTESY)
Organized by the Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce, the festival includes the Littleton Police Department's Halloween Festival, trick-or-treating on Main Street, Old Home Day activities, Littleton Co-op's Great Chili Cook Off , movie night, and, back by popular demand, the eerie Gathering of the Pumpkins on the Ammonoosuc River.
The Gathering of the Pumpkins premiered last year, with local businessman Dave Harkless of Littleton Bike & Fitness spearheading the effort that resulted in about 300 jack o' lanterns gracing the river rocks behind the bike shop and on the pedestrian covered bridge.
Harkless said planning started earlier this year, with more people involved. This has allowed the event to add the Haunted Riverwalk to supplement the "chilling" gazebo music of a ghoulish pipe organ along the walking path. The path crosses over the covered bridge and circles up river in front Riverglen Senior Housing and Senior Center, and also goes down river to the older pedestrian suspension bridge. New this year, too, is a horse-drawn hayride.
"We're anticipating 500 jack o'lanterns," said Chad Stearns, executive director of the Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce, of the Sunday night event, which goes from dusk until 8 p.m.
Harkless, posting on the Facebook page for the gathering, said this is a grassroots event, and this year will bigger and better than last year's, thanks to the help of volunteers. Donations of carved pumpkins can be dropped off at the bike shop at 20 Cottage Street on Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
School children will be doing their bit to help with the haunting of Littleton, thanks to the Littleton Police Department. On Saturday, as part of the LPD's fifth annual Halloween Festival at the Lakeway Elementary School, children in kindergarten through grade six can participate in a pumpkin carving contest. Carving tools are provided, but kids, who must be accompanied by an adult, should have their orange gourd hollowed out already.
Those youngsters who wish to show off their artwork can leave their pumpkin with the police, who will make sure it is displayed at the river gathering.
The hauntingly good time all starts on Saturday, Oct. 27, with the LPD Halloween festival from 10 a.m. to noon, trick-or-treating along Main Street from noon to 4 p.m., Old Home Day Events at Remick Park from noon to 2 p.m., the Littleton Food Co-op Great Chili Cook Off at the Littleton Opera House from 2 to 4 p.m., and movie night at the Opera House from 6 to 8 p.m.
"We are happy to be working with the Boys & Girls Club of the North Country and the Littleton Parks Department on this new event for the children of the area," said Stearns of the Old Home Day activities, such as a three-legged race and pie-eating contest.
Sponsors include the Littleton Food Co-op, Littleton Bike & Fitness, Bank of New Hampshire, Boys & Girls Club of the North Country, the Littleton Police Department, and Littleton Parks & Recreation.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I don't have refrigeration on my boat so that cuts down on the ingredients I can use. I am also constantly trying to do more with less in an effort to cut expenses to maximize the kitty, so again that means more simple ingredients that store well. For the past months and even year or more I have been working on recipes that I can make with simple ingredients, simple methods, etc, that taste great and I have a few favorites. Another requirement for me as a single person is that if I open a can I either have to eat what's in it, re-can it (steam canner), or find another way to preserve it until I can use the rest of it, so that too limits what I can do with ingredients. Having said all of that, here is one of my favorites, I eat this VERY OFTEN, I even made it this afternoon for lunch. This meal costs approximately 0.45$us.

Grind a few handfuls of wheat into flour, as much as you feel like eating plus some extra to keep as leftovers, I prefer a course grind. With the flour in the bowl, open up a small area in the middle to pool some water, then add fresh water and let it soak in pretty well. Don't add too much, too little is better than too much. After it sits a minute or so mix with the spoon until you end up with clumps of dough, then start mixing together with hand and adding dried flour from the bowl until you have a ball of dough. Add small amount of water to whatever flour is left in the bowl and add that dough to your dough ball and continue to squish the ball in your hands making a good dough ball.I know this sounds a little weird, but believe me this is a meal you can eat every single day and never get tired of it. It also takes about 5 minutes to prepare once you get used to preparing it. It is very versatile, inexpensive, easy to store, even the left overs can be eaten the next day without any special handling. The finished product is something like a pizza except that it has a much more wholesome taste of whole wheat and is very satisfying. This is also a very good camp food so long as the grain is milled before you go out on the trail and you dry your paste before you leave. Honey is my preferred sweetener.
If you don't have tomato paste you can skip the sauce and just tear up your finished dough and dip it in honey, tastes fantastic that way. It's a very versatile basic meal that you can do a lot of variations on. Sounds too simple to be good, I know, but trust me ... it's great. You can also use a combination of oven and drying to make long lasting crackers which are tough and easy to transport and store.
Wow! Rick those seafood kabobs have me drooling.
I said I'd like to share recipes so here goes.
If you are cruising or living aboard in an area where you can get fennel, this is a great way to use canned sardines and fresh ones are even better. You can also substitute celery for fennel in a pinch.
Pasta con le Sarde
1 large-ish yellow onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium sized bulb of fresh fennel
1 can sardines
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped fine
a good handful of fresh parsely, chopped fine
freshly ground pepper
olive oil
whole wheat spaghetti
Fill large pot with enough water to cook pasta and bring to a boil. Drop in fennel and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove fennel bulb with slotted spoon and drain in colander. Turn off heat and Reserve water.
When fennel cools, dice.
Heat olive oil in pan and saute onions and garlic on medium low heat. When they begin to soften add fennel and continue to saute. After 2 or 3 minutes add sardines and walnuts.
Meanwhile bring pasta water back to a boil and cook pasta till al dente.
Break up sardines with the back of spoon while they saute. Add 1 cup of pasta water and stir. Add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper and parsely. Saute and stir for a couple of more minutes and the sauce is done.
Drain pasta and mix with sauce. Serves 2.
Let's see, favorite recipes...

I usually don't have the right ingredients for a paella, so I've come up with a dirivation of Arroz con Pollo that I can make underway, takes a bit of time, but doesn't have to be watched too closely.
chicken cut into little parts, skinless
onion, sliced or diced
salt and pepper
4 chicken bullion cubes
1 can chicken broth
rice to fill in the holes
bay leaves
tomato diced
celery, peas, or any other green stuff
enough water with the broth to cover
I use a 12" iron pan with lid, brown the chicken, add paprika, and all the other stuff, add rice and let simmer til rice is done.
If you have shrimp, clams or any other seafood, toss it in. feeds 6
Looks like the way we prepare seafood kabobs - delicious and simple.
I usually vary seasonings, but like to mix lemon juice, seasalt, crushed pepper corns and fresh rosemary leaves to the extra virgin olive oil - basting during grilling
This takes a little prep, but it sure taste good; seafood kabobs and the
ingredients can vary; scallops, salmon, swordfish, tuna, shrimp, peppers, onions, zucchini, squash, grape tomatoes and the list goes on. Brush on a little olive oil, toss on the Magma grill for eight-ten minutes and dinner is served.
|As far as my search on that goes, some uses fine grade bulgur some say rice... So, I think bulgur is the closest substitude...

Most of those recipes can be prepared in a simple galley but most are cooked in fully equiped ship kitchens. Olive oil don't go bad, at least that quick, so they do carry lots of olive oil on those ships and it's high calories will give you the being full feeling. And, I even heard that they'd use the olive oil for emergency machine oil replacement...
The guy who thought me the seamanship used to roll, salted and spiced, meat to preserve it as a dried meat under the sun, than cooked them in olive oil and sea water... Same with fish... He was 80 about 10 years ago... Old school guy... Made us row in the dingy with ropes to pull the boat when there was no winds, or swim then walk to the shore pulling the boat close to the shallows or my favorite swim with the rope to pull the boat... One bell for right, two for left... Good thing that I learned how to swim from a coast guard... It was lots of work to learn from that guy; carry the anchor to the shore... clean the decks everyday... climb the mast to clean it...
I think that Gulet was about 50 years old when I was on it and had the original Mercedes diesel engine (installed from a truck) from 1940s...

Hi all! It's been far too looooong since I posted any of my work here but I figured better late then never!
As some of you might know I finished up Daz new ESB helmet a couple of months ago but I also got the job to paint up he's new armour. To be honest I found this quite exciting since I never painted a Boba armour before. Daz wanted me to match the armour to the ROTJ armour displayed at the AOSW exhibit. I did my best to get it as true to the original costume as I could. I still need to do the back, cod and collar but here's some pics of what's been finished so far. The colors used are the ones sugested by Lee, a big thanks goes out to Lynn for helpng me secure the ones I couldn't find here in Sweden. I hope you like it!
Here's the last pieces, finished two days ago. I had to do some guessing on the weathering patterns on the back since I didn't have any ref pics which covered it.
Thanks for looking,

Photo: WayFinder NYC
In the nation's most populous city, jam-packed with some 8 million people, it makes sense that the grand prize of a New York City innovation challenge would go to an application that helps travelers find their way around.
WayFinder NYC, a program that helps users locate the nearest subway station by looking through their camera display on Android phones, won $7,500 in awards in the city's first "NYC BigApps" competition, which was launched last June by the city's Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC).
"The applications will generate millions of dollars in economic impact -- a figure that will only increase as more entrepreneurs become aware of the opportunities available here," NYCEDC President Seth W. Pinsky said in a statement.
As more local governments push to improve transparency, competitions like New York City's allow citizens to convert data into shared apps that serve the public and help cities save money. Mirroring other innovation contests like Washington D.C.'s Apps for Democracy, NYC BigApps gave software developers access to more than 170 data sets from 30 city agencies: traffic updates, taxi info, citywide event schedules, property sales, recreational facilities, restaurant inspections, etc. Using at least one data source from the NYC.gov Data Mine (www.nyc.gov/data), programmers had to develop innovative tools that the public could use online.

I drilled out recesses for the darts to slide into (MojoFett, could you hook me up with some please?). The gauntlet sits pretty straight-up and a drill press did the trick very nicely. What size bit was it? Something about the same size as the rivets I picked up as dart replacements. I carefully measured where to drill, but it seems I still mucked it up a bit. If you look, you might see where I'm currently carving out the button recess so it has room to slide back and forth.
I picked myself up a couple Alco 'tyco-switches' (is that what they are?) for the right gauntlet. I searched high and low for measurements or locations where to drill out for these switches on the right gauntlet, but to no avail. Since every gauntlet out there is a little bit different, the best it seems we can do is 'right around there'. Check your picture references, and use the old Mark 1 eyeball to find a nice spot for them.
Here's where mine are. I at least used a straight edge to get them relatively centered up-down. However, I just used the dremel grinding bit until the switches fit in the hole. I probably should have found the drill bit size and cut proper holes, but whatever. They fit, and most of the battle scars will be covered up with the washers and nuts.
It was quite a battle to get these to fit. I'd be willing to bet that I have about 5 mm of fiberglass and resin slapped on the insides of these things. As well, there was quite a thick layer of original resin to grind through. The bases of these switches are massive, and I don't think they would fit perfectly perpendicular unless you got some old Ruffkin Toys vac-formed styrene gauntlets.
In terms of spacing the switches out, I referred to reference pics as best as I could. However, I ended up putting them a little too close together. I had to grind the edges of the switches down in order for them to fit next to each other and not look cross-eyed.
I'm hoping that the switches are still functional. I'd like to use them as helmet rangefinder servo switches; one brings it down, and the other brings it up again. Hopefully there's still room for an RF board in the gauntlets.

I'm wondering if everyone can post their methods for providing good clean water for their girls.
See Al, now that's what I'm talkin about! Although I like Finnman's sphagnum moss too! I guess I'm more of an asthetic guy than I thought! :lol:
I like the finmans moss idea and have already planed on fixing my water point come spring. Still will more than likely use those rubber dishes I bought. :D Al
it is a dog dancing around. .
I had read about the bees prefering "dirty" water, too, so I put out an old dog dish with straw in it for the bees. I've never seen them in it, though. .

Take an adventure holiday in CHINA with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
China Adventures And The Great Wall Of China
China never fails to conjure up a myriad of feelings, images and a sense of mystery. Its history cannot be summed up here in a few paragraphs and to fully appreciate the currents that have shaped the country and its people, you must take the time to read at least one of the many excellent books available.
Adventure Travel In China
World Expeditions operates twenty adventures through China. Our Highlights of China tour will take you on an epic traverse to discover China's cultural diversity and natural wonders. While an eight day tour will allow you to experience the Lusheng Festival in South West China. Or, take a trek along the Great Wall, camp in nearby villages and explore Beijing's cultural sites.
The Great Wall Of China
This innovative itinerary takes in a classic section of the Great Wall outside Beijing in Hebei Province. Hosted by local Chinese families, we camp in comfort in exclusive locations and explore the Great Wall over 7 days, trekking between villages. The host families provide us with true rural hospitality in the "real China" and allow us rare interaction with the locals. More On The Great Wall Of China Explorer Tour.
About China
Within the almost four million square miles of China's vast territory live more than 1.3 billion people, which makes it the most populated nation on earth. For centuries, outsiders have yearned to visit China and it's only since 1976 that tourism really started. Initially, foreign visitors were only allowed to see a fraction of what the country had to offer, however, today it is possible to visit as many as 60 different areas. An increasing number of historical sites are also being restored and opened up to viewing for foreign tourists.
As much as China is keen to display its stunning scenery, historical sites and impressive cities, it is also dedicated to conveying something about how its society works. Although its political system has set it apart from the west, China is now moving forward in leaps and bounds, especially in the areas of trade and commerce. The major cities are indicative of the burgeoning economy of modern China.
As in the days of Marco Polo, travellers are still regarded as honoured guests and the locals delight in watching you watching them. Within the relatively short time that China's doors have been open to the West, few tourists have visited the rural parts of the country, including the remote region of Yunnan.

If you still thought there weren't any more games about aspiring socialites waiting to become famous, here's the game that'll prove you wrong.
In Star Girl, you'll put yourself in the position of some girl who desires to be a popular superstar, it doesn't really matter if it's singing, acting or modeling... you will be satisfied as long you end up being famous and having a blast. But of course, it won't be easy -well, it will be definitely easier than in real life- and you will need to work -not much- to get your wish.
Any aspiring star should have a busy social life, and that is why you need to make some friends and date the hottest guys in town until you find your perfect guy. You can begin by customizing your character and then starting your real adventure: completing the given tasks, finishing jobs, changing outfits, chatting with people and other several actions you'll need in order to climb up positions in the social ladder.
Animoca is the developer of this Star Girl game, a casual game for girls, especially teenagers who want to keep themselves entertained while being famous artists for an hour every day. Nothing really stands out but the graphics are great and we haven't had any problems while playing.

Neelesh Phadnis, 24, acting as his own lawyer, earned himself a conviction in Seattle in October for killing his parents, in large part (according to a Seattle Times story) because of his defense that the crimes were committed by, first, a gang of 400-pound Samoans, later augmented during his testimony to include their girlfriends, two whites, two blacks, a Native American and a transsexual, and later still, to be described as more than 30 armed Samoans. (They were all slow runners, too, for Phadnis said he outran them all to escape, despite being seriously wounded. When he finally summoned the police, he told the arriving officers that he was too tired and hungry to talk about his parents' bodies and that they should "go home.") [Seattle Times, 10-7-05, 10-8-05]
Chicago lawyer Stephen Diamond has filed about 100 lawsuits since 2002 against companies for failing to charge him sales tax on items he bought, earning himself about $500,000 in settlements and judgments, according to an October Wall Street Journal report. Diamond has exploited a law in Illinois that allows citizens to receive part of the proceeds from certain law violations, including from companies that might be authorized to collect sales tax on Internet purchases but have chosen not to because the law is not completely settled. (Tennessee and Virginia, which have similar laws, have amended them to prevent lawsuits like Diamond's.) [Wall Street Journal, 10-14-05]
How to Be a Police Department: In California, a police department can be created if a local government gives a transportation contract to a private company, automatically empowering that company to hire its own cops, who, though not allowed to make arrests, can carry guns, access police databases, and receive government anti-terrorist grants. The law achieved notoriety in February when Internet millionaire Stefan Eriksson's Ferrari crashed in Malibu, and he later made confusing statements, including the revelation that he is the "deputy commissioner" of the "San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority" police, a post he acquired by starting a modest bus service for the elderly. [Los Angeles Times, 3-8-06]

Clinton: Who wants a president who'll "repeatedly tell you something he knows isn't true?"
posted at 9:31 am on November 6, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
Do you think he realizes what he's saying, or…? Around the 45-second mark:
Who wants a president that will knowingly, repeatedly tell you something he knows is not true? … When I was a kid, if I got my hand caught in the cookie jar, where it wasn't supposed to be, I turned red in the face, and I took my hand out of the cookie jar. You've got to give it to Gov. Romney, when he gets his hand caught in the cookie jar, he just digs down for more cookies. … You don't have to be from Ohio to want your president to tell you the truth when it comes to jobs for the American people.
This, from the president who was impeached on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. …I find the cookie metaphor to be particularly, painfully awkward, but I guess he did throw in the "jobs" qualifier, so, there's that. Oof.

Looks great! Have had a FNP9 and FNP9M for serveral years. Got so much invested in mags, I'll probably just stick with them for now.
This is my first firearm purchase so i am now excited to get to the range and try it out. I went with the intent of getting the FNP 9 but after holding both, the FNX just felt better.
Looks great! Have had a FNP9 and FNP9M for serveral years. Got so much invested in mags, I'll probably just stick with them for now.
Very nice. congratulations.
What is the difference between the FNP and the FNX........nice weapon either way. 3 mags? Nice.
the FNX is the latest version of the FNP, slightly different plastic on the grip, the fire control group has been modifed to include a saftey (similar to the FNP - USG version).
i am sure there are other changes like the 3 back straps, (my FNP only had 2)
I think all NIB come with 3 mag (mine did)
i would think more $$ but gun broker has both for about the same pricing ranges.
it comes with 4 backstraps, although i do not like the way they are attached. The FNP was a better design, it has a screw to attach them, where as the FNX just has a plastic tab, not as secure.
The magazines are different as well, it has a 16 +1 round capacity. The FNX mag has a tab on the front of the slide that attaches in the mag well, the FNP has 2 notches on the sides of the slide that seem to be more stable. Some people have had difficulites with the new FNX slides, I have not, mine have been secure from the start.
The front sight on the FNX is larger than the front sight on the FNP.
The slide on the FNX is more squared off (similar to glock, springfield) the FNP is much more rounded.
Basically the FNX is almost identical to the FNP 45.
I have been to the range once with it, you can see my target in the range report section. I am a true novice at shooting and this pistol is amazing, i feel extremely confident with it right out of the box.
FNP that I'm looking at LGS has a 10 round mag.
Will FNP take FNX 17 round mags?
By all means keep your ammo separate from your handgun whenver doing dry-fire practice. Keep the ammo in a separate room of the house from where you dry-fire. Always dry-fire into a concrete/brick wall or steel door...drywall/plaster will not stop a round. Always keep your snap-caps separate from ammo and always count them and use them in your dry-fire area.
I highly recommend a handgun training course that teaches malfunction handling, tactical reloading, trigger control, sight picture acquisition, and safety. Frontsight has an excellent 4-day course that I think everyone should take. There are others offered in your state I am sure if you look around. You should also think about liability insurance and understand the responsibilities that come with operating/carrying a handgun.
The FNX-9 is a great gun, but what really matters is your training and your skills.

Kentucky Derby Odds: Verrazano Early Betting Favorite
Verrazano won the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby March 9 to solidify his early standing as favorite for the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 4 at Churchill Downs.
The colt was 6-1 in Kentucky Derby future odds released by Bovada this week. He is 3-0 in his career and is slated to make one additional start before he ships to Louisville.
Trainer Todd Pletcher said this week his final Derby prep will be the Grade 1 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct. [ US Racebook offering new rates and new customer specials ]
A few other early Derby hopefuls will likely challenge Verrazano at the Big A, including Vyjack and Normandy Invasion both currently at 16-1 and Overanalyze at 40-1.
Who is No. 2 behind Verrazano? Itsmyluckyday is the second choice in Derby future wagering odds. He is 10-1 and unbeaten in two starts in 2013, including the Gulfstream Park Derby and the Grade 3 Holy Bull on Jan. 26.
He is pointed to Florida Derby on March 30, where 2012 juvy champ Shanghai Bobby (16-1) and Grade 2 Fountain of Youth winner Orb (16-1) are both expected to run as well.

Anyways, I decided to do a slightly more intense and darker version of one of my every day eye looks.
Next I finished the eye look. A little Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil and I'm ready for my lashes. I curled them and then layered MAC Plush Lash and CoverGirl Clump Crusher.
Finally, the last touch is lips! A light layer of Passion Fruit Cheek and Lip Stain and then Stila gloss in Grapefruit.

(The following is a reprint of our press release - but since space is filling up fast at this event, we thought we should get something up right away!)
Multnomah Biblical Seminary's Institute for the Theology of Culture: New Wine, New Wineskins will hold two seminars to promote unity in the church and outreach to the poor on April 9th and 10th, respectively. Together, these seminars make up the annual Spring conference that New Wine puts on in the community.
People often think caring for the poor in the analogy of giving a poor man fish to eat or teaching him to fish so he can eat forever. Neither approach moves beyond charity, which keeps the poor dependant and demeans their humanity. Instead, Christians must help the poor become entrepreneurs so that they can own the pond together.
An Evening of Inspiration, April 9th
At the introductory seminar, "An Evening of Inspiration: breaking down barriers", Dr. Paul Louis Metzger will discuss how the white church has historically failed to build a relationship with the black church. Together, Dr. Metzger and Dr. John M. Perkins will urge the church to long for unity and will lay the foundation of what "owning the pond together" means.
Owning the Pond Together, April 10th
The second seminar, "Owning the Pond Together: developing communities through entrepreneurship", suggests that community development involves partnering with the poor by thinking creatively and fostering micro-enterprise. The seminar stresses the importance for Christians to move beyond charity and toward cultivating community through effective business practices. In this way can Christians and the poor own the pond together and protect the community from being sold out to the highest bidder.
Perkins, Metzger, and Pastor Eric Bahme will present the importance of partnering with the poor and how to put "owning the pond" principles into practice.
Church Partnership
Following Perkins and Bahme's lead, churches can help form local enterprises that meet local needs and employ indigenous people by partnering with the poor, sharing skills and economic resources and investing capital so the poor will have ownership in the community. Churches can also become partners to foster business ownership among the local people.
