: Disney Wonder to Receive a Marvel Super Hero Academy, Tiana's Place Restaurant and More During Massive Refurb
Disney Cruise Line Fleet (4)
The 1,754-passenger Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, launched in 1998 and 1999, respectively, are sister ships and carry the same basic themes throughout -- with different individual touches along the way. Disney Magic, for instance, has an Art Deco theme while Disney Wonder is more Art Nouveau.
In 2011, Disney introduced its first new-build since Disney Wonder launched in 1999: the 128,690-ton, 2,500-passenger Disney Dream debuted on January 26, 2011. A sister ship, Disney Fantasy, debuted on March 31, 2012.
Two new 135,000-ton ships will be built by the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, and arriving in 2021 and 2023, respectively. They will have 1,250 cabins.

About Disney Cruise Line
When Disney execs decided to enter the cruise business they looked back to the 1920's for inspiration. The result: Both
Disney Magic
(1998) and
Disney Wonder
(1999) resemble luxurious ocean liners of a bygone era that just happen to have all the modern bells and whistles to boot. The twin ships' elongated dark blue hulls, matching red funnels and elaborate yellow insignias make these sleek ships a beautiful sight to behold in port.
Inside, the ambience is casually elegant with plenty of subtle nods to the Mouse that started it all, from the etched-in-pewter characters bordering the atrium to the hidden mini Mickeys in the adults-only restaurant's china pattern. What Disney Cruise Line does best though is prove that "elegant" and "family friendly" don't have to be mutually exclusive.
Disney offers one of the most distinctive cruise experiences afloat. With these ships, Disney has introduced a number of innovations. Chief among them are its cabins with a bath-and-a-half and a rotating dining room schedule in which passengers eat at three different restaurants, albeit with the same tablemates and wait staff. It was the first cruise line to launch the "soda card" concept, an idea which has been picked up by competitors, and now they've even gone one better, offering soda gratis in the three restaurants and at the self-service beverage stations on the pool deck.
Equally distinctive is what Disney ships don't have: casinos or libraries.
Though the line has been operating a two-ship fleet for nearly a decade, Disney called upon Germany's Meyer Werft to build two new ships.
Disney Dream
(launched January 2011) and
Disney Fantasy
(March 31, 2012) are significantly larger than Disney Magic and Disney Wonder -- two decks higher and measuring 128,690 tons. While the passenger count is 2,500, it's important to note that Disney's load factor is the highest in the industry (remember: lots of kids), the typical passenger count onboard will be in the range of 3,500 to 4,000.
In 2021 and 2023, Disney will launch a pair of sister ships, as yet unnamed. The 135,000-ton ships will be built by the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, and have 1,250 cabins. That's slightly larger than the company's most recent ships, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.
V-Log: Disney Magic Family Cruise to Europe's Baltic
V-Log: Adults-Only Mediterranean Cruise
Disney Cruise Line's four ships are family-friendly, offering the elaborate Walt Disney Theater, which resembles a plush Broadway house, and the Buena Vista Cinema, which features Disney flicks. Studio Sea is styled like a television sound stage and offers a forum for G-rated floor shows on Wonder and Magic; a similar venue is called the D Lounge on Dream and Fantasy.
The line also features "Disney Digital 3-D" aboard Magic and Wonder. It's a cinema experience that uses lasers, fog, streamers and special lighting effects in the onboard theater.
The main pool areas on all four ships are geared toward families; there's a pool for younger kids with a 200-ft. Mickey water-slide, and a small sprinkler tub for toddlers. An adults-only pool exists as well on Magic and Wonder, though on Dream and Fantasy the grownup area encompasses several decks and bars.
Dream and Fantasy stepped up the waterpark-at-sea aspect by adding the AquaDuck, the first-ever watercoaster on a cruise ship. Clearly visible atop the ship, the coaster features a transparent, acrylic tube that propels riders along on a raft, up and down four decks of the ship -- at one point swinging out 13 feet off the side, 150 feet above the ocean.
For a real soak, kids (and adults) can head to Disney Fantasy's AquaLab, which explains the genesis of the AquaDuck. Basically, it's just a way to get wet standing up, as water pours out of buckets, through holes in the wall and from fountain jets on the deck.
Older folks have more than a pool in which to escape. Palo is a boutique eatery on each ship featuring northern Italian cuisine; reserve the minute you get onboard. For a real splurge, Remy offers top-of-the-line French fare on Dream and Fantasy and comes with an $85 tab -- the highest at sea.
The spa is also off-limits to the younger generation and one of the highlights is its rain forest steam room. Somewhat less compelling is an adults-only area of night clubs called "Beat Street" on Magic,"Route 66" on Wonder, "The District" on Dream and "Europa" on Fantasy; among the options are a dance club and sports pub.
There are family cabins that hold six, but Disney's roomier-than-average staterooms can handle at least four. Forty-four percent of outside cabins have verandahs. All come with bathtubs, a television, a safe and a hair dryer.
The children's program is organized and run by dozens of caring youth counselors; scheduled character greetings occur throughout the day (and many surprise visits, too). The inclusion of onboard nurseries (Flounder's Reef Nursery on Magic/Wonder and It's a Small World on Dream/Fantasy) filled a void for parents looking for childcare for their infants through age 3.
Spanning nearly an entire deck, Disney's Oceaneer Club is a supervised program for children aged 3 - 7, spilt into age groups of 3 - 4 and 5 - 7. The Oceaneer Lab is split into groups for kids aged 8 - 9 and 10 - 12, and offers high-tech interactive programs, hands-on science experiments and ship-wide treasure hunts. Kids 11 - 12 can compete in a marine biology knowledge game show and send digital postcards to friends.
The quartet mix it up when it comes to older kids. Teens (13 - 17) have a single private club on Wonder (Aloft) and Magic (the Stack); they're home to lots of overstuffed couches and chairs, the latest video games, MP3 listening stations, board games and magazines, and a bar that dispenses soft drinks and smoothies. But Dream and Fantasy split apart the demographic: 11 to 13's head to the Edge, while 14 to 17's chill in Vibe (which includes an outdoor area with hot tubs). Children's facilities are open from 9 a.m. until 1 a.m., though times can vary.
Once signed in onboard the ship, your children are automatically enrolled in the children's programs on Castaway Cay. There are supervised games for the individual age groups, and bike riding. However, take note that they do not take the children swimming. Disney character appearances are scheduled several times daily on the private island.
Fellow Passengers
The majority of fellow passengers are families and multigenerational reunions due to the extensive activities and options available to children, teens and adults. However, you'll also find a sprinkling of honeymooners and couples without children who appreciate the oversized staterooms and underutilized adults-only areas.

Could have eaten without the sour cream, think next time I will
Hamburger Buddy
From EatingWell: September/October 2007, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)
Very finely chopping onion, mushrooms and carrots in the food processor is not only fast—it makes the vegetables hard to detect for picky eaters. They also form the base for the sauce of this ground beef skillet supper. Make it a meal: Serve with a green salad.
159 Reviews for Hamburger Buddy
This was good but didn't wow me bc it was a little bland. Add some cheese and it becomes awesome.
I don't have a food processor so I used my slap chop style chopper on the veggies and it worked great. I used plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Much better than Hamburger Helper and way healthier.
This dish was edible and i added some extra spices to make it taste better. I really just tasted like mush. I had high hope because I love mushrooms! I believe if other spices were used and you did not put the veggies in a food processor this could be a decent dish.
This was not good at all. You need to be a fan of thyme to like this recipe. I fed it to the dogs... We ordered pizza.

If Romania had to be described in a single word, that word would likely be majestic. There are many castles, ancient monasteries and churches, the Carpathian Mountains and who could visit this country without seeing the famous Transylvania? Many medieval towns exist, begging to be explored and people who come here find a lot of heritage and culture to soak in. Whether looking for an active vacation or something relaxing, this is a great place to explore. Romania is still one of the best places to stay in Europe in terms of value for money.

DOH!!! nevermind... didn't see the coupon code to use!
$159 is good!
On the way, thanks for the heads up. Good lookin out!
Owned this for about 2 years now. It's an excellent concept, but the fact that logitech's RF Hardware/Software package is terrible detracts significantly from it's useability. I don't recommend this if you're planning on using it in RF Mode, regardless of the tweaks for response, the RF is laggy and poor to use for anything other than casual channel surfing.
Excellent idea, extremely poor execution. If you're using it strictly in IR mode, it's pretty responsive, but who buys a full featured remote with a screen and then has to point it at 4-5 different devices to insure they turn on.
Coupon code has expired.

Multi Select component doesnt get focus when using tab key to navigate the form
I have a form as shown above :
I would like to navigate it using 'tab' keys on the keyboard.but once the focus is on Major Release combo, when i press tab again. The focus shifts to 'Reset' button rather than to the Image Names field.
Image Names Field is a multiselect component.
ExtJS Version : 4.0
Facing this issue in IE,Mozilla and chrome.
Please let me know if there is a way to resolve this ?

It's not an actual form field in that it doesn't have an <input> or the like so to make a component focusable then you need to use the FocusManager.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

When I use Ext.FocusManager.enable() in the onReady() the page is getting distored as below when i use version 4.0.7.
while in version 4.1 it has doesnt distort, but the multiselect doesnt still get the focus.
13 Jan 2013 11:12 PM #4
I am also facing the same issue.
I have 3 multiselect fields. 1st multiselect is pre-loaded. Based on the selection of the first selection the values of the second multiselect changes. And same with the 3rd multiselect.
I am trying to fire "blur" event but its is not firing. some sample code is as below.
xtype : 'multiselect',fieldLabel : 'Product Area*',name : 'productArea',height : 70,overflow : 'scroll',allowBlank : false,blankText : 'Please select Product Area(s)',listeners : {focus : function() {alert('kali');},blur : function(a, e) {alert('kali');Ext.Ajax.request({url : Admin.Constants.getProductGroupUrl,params : {productAreaId : this.getValue()},success : function(response) {},failure : function(response) {}});},change : function() {this.up('panel[xtype = cpidwindow]').down('form[name = verification]').getForm().setValues({productArea : this.getValue()});},render : function(c) {Ext.QuickTips.register({target : c.getEl(),text : 'Please select one or more Product Area(s)'});}},store : _productArea,valueField :'value',displayField : 'name'I am stuck and its a show stopper for me.
Please suggest how to proceed.
8 Mar 2013 2:43 AM #5
Hi ,
Any suggestions how to get multi select into focus without using focusManager as it is not supported in the version that I am using - 4.0
what is the significance of the tabIndex config ? setting that is not helping either.

Currently, when sorting through available answers to any question (mine or not) on a topic I'm not nearly an expert on, it may sometimes be VERY difficult to separate wheat from the chaff by using up-votes - which are heavily biased towards earlier even if not better answers).
Another helpful metric is of course the rep - but as noted many many times, the rep as it currently stands is often misleading for mid-range people (1k-7k), by heavily penalizing experts in less-popular fields, or people who give very few but unusually good answers, and being biased towards people who ask and answer many newbie level questions - the latter is not a slander against such people, but merely a note that this situation makes separating merely prolific posters from genuinely competent people is hard.
A suggestion to help in such separation of more-competent people is to display the "accept hit rate" of the user - e.g. I'd be more willing to trust a guy for whom 100% of their question askers so far accepted as "accepted answer", even if their rep is not in 10000s.
NOTE: There was a similar discussion on Meta previously (and here's one more) but it centered on usefulness of such statistics to the user himself, as opposed to others who will peruse their answers.
EXAMPLE1: For a question I asked yesterday, the very best answer was actually up-voted the least (it is the last in the list of answers), made by a user who has second lowest rep of all the answerer. BUT - his ratio of accepted answers for my tags of interest is VERY high. And the second best asnwer, while voted up the most, was from a user with the LOWEST rep - but he also had a decent enough accepted answer ratio that I'm inclined to trust their info despite low rep. Yet, f I did not know enough about the topic in question to be able to discriminate by content, i'd have likely been more trusting one of the other two answers which were very much not the best ones but came from higher-total-rep people.
EXAMPLE2: My own answer to a question where I didn't have nearly enough expertise - and the answer was very sub-optimal and much worse than the ones giveb later by others - was not only voted far above other answers, but actually accepted by the questioner. Go figure. (my answer wasn't bad enough to delete, and i did edit it to improve the info for SO consumption, but still, you get my point). Yet, I had zero accepted score on that particular tag, as opposed to other answerers who came after me yet were not voted up enough.
As both these examples illustrate, the rate of acceptance of someone's answers for specific tags could be a very useful tool when sifting through the asnwers.
What does everyone think? Is it useful? Should it be added as a feature?

Catherine Castner (Maria Catherina Castner) married Mathias Martin on Christmas Day 1849 in Jefferson County, Wisconsin (marriage date according to information Mathias gave to a county history). Mathias Martin had emigrated to the United States in October of 1847. According to the Arzberg Parish register, Catherina emigrated on 22 Mar 1848 to America (New York Passenger Lists show arrival as 21 Jun 1848.) She may have been waiting for their son to get a little older before making the voyage. Their, John Stephan (our direct ancestor), was born on 28 Nov 1847 in Germany. If you are thinking the dates don't add up, you are right. Our little John Stephan was born several years before his parents were married.
Below are copies of the parish registers of of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Arzberg, Wunsiedel, Oberfranken, Bayern, Germany. The Castner family lived in the small village of Rothenbach but attended church in Arzberg -- a mile or so away.
This first record is the Baptismal or christening record of our grandmother, Maria Catherina Castner. On top is the translation and on the bottom is the actual parish register. The parish priest made a notation in the first column on the left concerning Catherine's immigration on 22 Mar 1848.
This next record is the marriage record of Catherine Castner's parents: Johann Georg Castner and Susanna Dorothea Fickenscher.
Below is the baptismal record of Catherine's father, Johann George Castner. This record also shows the death date of 19 Feb 1847.
This last record is the parish register for Catherine's mother, Susanna Dorothea Fickenscher. You may notice that it is not transcribed. Feel free to transcribe it, but please send me the translation. Thanks.
Note: Castner is sometimes spelled with a "K" -- Kastner. Some of the parish records for the Castner family used the spelling "Kastner" instead of Castner.

Service in Style
THE PARTY This legendary league of ladies celebrated 100 years of service with a grand gala, aptly titled Fête at the National Building Museum. But the party didn't stop there. Leaguers and League-lovers also attended the chic Aprés Fête. THE PEOPLE Among the 650 supporters and members who came out to celebrate were VIPs like DC Mayor Vincent C. Gray and United Way of the National Capital Area President and CEO Bill Hanbury. News4 Anchor and Reporter Angie Goff was also on hand to emcee the live auction, which featured some enviable vacation packages, like a trip to New York Fashion Week and a golf weekend in Pebble Beach. BEST IN SHOW The numbers were notable at this altruistic affair. More than $43,000 was raised to benefit the league's Resolution Read initiative that kicked off in June 2012. The goal of this program is to purchase and distribute 100,000 new books to children in the DC community. Photography by Ginny Teague

Before you make a decision to explore career choices, or begin a job search, it is important that you take an inventory of your skills and abilities, and determine the kind of work that you will find rewarding.
The way to accomplish this is to undergo a process called self-assessment. Self-assessment helps you explore your interests, values and work-related preferences.
Some of the important questions that you explore as part of your self-assessment include:
Self-assessment can be a difficult process. You may want to talk with a professional who can help you to objectively focus on the important issues and difficult choices.
The University offers help in self-assessment through tuition remission eligible courses in the School of Continuing And Professional Studies' Center for Career, Education and Life Planning. The Center also offers individual career counseling and testing at a reasonable fee (see Resources section).
Once you have completed a self-assessment, you will have a better idea of what opportunities you want to pursue and what you need to do to improve your chances of success.
You may then avail yourself of the many opportunities at NYU to enhance your skills. The University offers career-oriented degree programs, seminars, workshops, certificate programs and classes that can help you build your job skills and career (see Resources section).

Ability to customize what our characters look like
I like that customization to change our looks, it'll make the game more unique – I like Salty's idea.
One word "BEAUTIFUL" I would love the option to customize my character (besides evryone looks like a clone)
Your suggestions are wonderful. We will take note of it for us to improve Wings of Destiny.
Thank you again for your support and enjoy playing.
I suggest toning down the difficulty in finding mats to craft blueprints. In particular, the Alchemist items. Remove the bag of coins reward. When you get that reward after the work you put in to it, you just feel down and fed up. Especially when you need that special mat from the Alchemist. I haven't even seen them in a place that uses cash for them. So either make them available elsewhere and obtainable or remove bag of coins and increase drop of alch for these items. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your suggestion Zianitha. We understand how you feel about the difficulty in getting
materials for crafting specially for high level blueprints. We will forward your suggestion to have it reviewed.
Thank you again for your suggestion.
Yes, please.. we need a lot of materials x_X
it would be nice if the chat window didn't reopen on its own every time someone else in the world does something…….sometimes i'm on a small screen and want to keep it closed
correction on previous post: it happens every time i click an npc
I suggest a different "Auto-combat" for the priest only for heal team members, they cant go afk in the battle like a ranger, mage or a knight
can i suggest making auto-potions different from auto-battling? as a priest i find it really hard to use potions while i heal allies and/or do damage. i cant play support for the team if i always go out of position just to have that potion proc and neglect that spare second or two where i couldve healed my ally.
and also can i auto target ourselves by clicking my character data at the top left side of the screen? its really hard to click myself when im being crowded by mobs :P
oh can you also make materials we get from quests no get the "bound" status? it really takes quite a few inventory slots and its something we free players cant afford to lose :(
Thank for all of your suggestions. We will forward them to the developers to review it.
It is nice to hear your suggestions and opinions as you really care for Wings of Destiny.
This will also help us know on what we can improve to make it more enjoyable for all.
Pick-A-Pair game needs more time or slow the timer down.
Tried to beat the side game 70 times and still couldn't get
all the cards. :(
I would abandon the quest but the game won't let me.
@Vidiot966: 1) you need to use a computer mouse, 2) open up all the tiles as fast as you can, then pair the cards as fast as you can.
I have a suggestion to increase the manual targeting (~ key) range.
Why? Because while the ranged mobs attack you from off-screen, you can't manually select them without moving closer and pulling aggro from more offscreen mobs (which could lead to consuming more HP Potions), which (for mostly ranged class players) ends up them looking at a revive timer (which in turn can even lead to failing an event such as Astral Trials).
As of now I've learned to enable autocombat to select the mobs that start attacking me from offscreen. Meaning I have to enable and then quickly disable the autocombat all the time when being cautious is necessary. This doesen't always work.
AoE spells suggestion.
While I like a lot the new way to cast AoE spells, there is complication.
What is wrong: As soon as you click the AoE spell casting button, the spell will cast immediately with AoE spell's area's centre being near said button (it makes it impossible to target needed areas).
A better way to cast AoE spells would be to combine the awesome ultra-fast new with the solid foolproof old. Meaning: leave the new way of casting, when using keyboard shortcuts to initiate the casting; and bring back the old way of casting, when using mouse-clicks to initiate the casting.
Thanks for your attention.
I definetely agree with Achtyn about AoE spell. It's one of the main skill and it cannot be used properly in full screen now. I also know that developers are already aware of that problem and I hope that they working on some type of solution. And Achtyn's solution seems to be very good, leave the new system and combine with old.
Everybody would be satisfied then.

If I want to get started on indoor climbing, what is the bare minimum I need to have, assuming I don't want to rent equipment?
Shoes and a harness. Some places don't have belay devices or carabiners attached to each rope, so check on that beforehand, as you may need to provide your own.
That's it.
Chalk and a chalk bag is something you'll probably want pretty quickly and often comes packaged with the harness.
For climbing shoes, look for something comfortable to wear for a couple hours but tight like a slipper. Imagine that you're going to be standing on your toes a lot, so you want a direct link from toe, to shoe, to wall. The same tightness should extend all around the toe box (i.e. gaps along your big toe or towards your smaller toes are bad).
For a harness, just aim for comfort - you'll spend a lot of time hanging on the rope early in your climbing career, so a bit of padding won't hurt you. Lots of harnesses have a ton of "gear loops", but for indoor you can get the simplest one possible, just somewhere to hang your chalk bag, if that. Padded leg loops are worthwhile though, as is a simple way to get in and out of it, and an obvious way to check that you are properly strapped in.
Belay device - hopefully they have a GriGri attached to each rope. If not, consider buying one if you can spare the cash. Otherwise, just get a simple ATC-style device and call it a day. In order to attach your belay device to your harness, you'll need a carabiner. Most people prefer medium-large pear-shaped locking carabiners for this purpose, but any large, D-shaped locking carabiner will do the job too.
As @xpda says, bouldering doesn't require much equipment at all. I found it much easier to start bouldering than climbing with a rope; I went a couple of times to a non-bouldering place and though I liked it, I didn't stay with it- bouldering was easier to get into and keep coming back.
As for the shoes- again, agreeing with @xpda - the first few times I went I found my lack of technique and underdeveloped muscles were far more important than whether I used climbing shoes or not. It was only after about a month that the shoes became a factor.
Of course, I started as an absolute beginner. If you're already experienced (or more talented) the shoes might be crucial earlier.

Child Labor in Beaufort District Lecture This Thursday
We don't much think about the impact or prevalence of the practice of child labor these days. But it was indeed a critical issue at the turn of the last century in the United States even here in Beaufort County. And, remains an issue today.
The BDC has some images in our collection about the use of children in agriculture. The Library of Congress, the National Archives, and other archival repositories have placed some of their child labor related images and documents online for everyone to see and study. The lecture will show some of these to illustrate the power of images, particularly those of Lewis Hine, to affect change in the laws affecting the employment of children in manufacturing, canneries and agriculture here locally in Beaufort County.
Contemporary use of children as a cheap (and largely unprotected) labor force is a theme within the One County Reads One Country: Afghanistan project selection In The Sea There Are Crocodiles. Why not pick up a copy from any of our branch libraries and attend the book discussion group of your choice. Scheduled groups are in the Project Guide at http://www.beaufortcountylibrary.org/sites/default/files/documents/OCOCp..., page 3).
Come learn about local child laborers during the free
"History of Child Labor in Beaufort District"
Presentation by Grace Cordial, BDC Manager
Thurs., Aug. 23rd
6:00 - 7:00 pm
2nd Floor, 311 Scott Street
(Upstairs in the Library building).
Anyone over age 12 interested in this local history topic is encouraged to attend.
*"One County Reads One Country: Afghanistan" has been made possible through a Library Services and Technology Act grant awarded to the Beaufort County Library and administered by the South Carolina State Library.

I'm in the process of creating a lyrics website using WordPress. Each post consists of a song, and I figured for ease to make each category represent the song artist.
With this in mind, the site will be host to many many posts and likely thousands of different categories. I've heard rumors that not necessarily the posts but having that many unique categories can affect the speed of the site. Is this true, or should I be using some custom field solution to represent song artists?

I started to use Evernote, and I want to find the best system for me to work with it. I am currently thinking about how can I use voice notes.
The problem that I see with voice is that you need to play it to see what is in it, and if it is longer one after some time you will not remember what is the whole content of the note without reminding yourself listening to it whole. With text and pictures you can quickly skim the content and remember what it is all about. Yes, you can transcribe voice note, but those services do not work with my native spoken language.
The good use for voice notes that I can think of is if something really good crossed your mind and you want to remember it on the go (while you are in the city, or doing something else), you can fire up Evernote android app (I use android app too), quickly make voice note and put it in "Inbox" notebook. Then when you go through your "Inbox", decide what to do with it and convert it to some text or action or something else.
How do you use voice notes, and how can I use it more productively and in various useful ways?

Lucian is joined by his secret lover, the beautiful vampire Sonja (Rhona Mitra), in his battle to free the Lycans from their brutal enslavement.

Now that we can compare whole microbiomes, has there been investigations on the effect of garlic (or diallyl disulfide, its main ingredient) on intestinal flora? From the proven antimicrobial activity, it should work like antibiotics. But does it leave "good bacteria" counts untouched?
From studies,
Overall garlic can prove to be beneficial, because it seems to have more of an effect on detrimental bacteria like Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), even when its strains were resistant to antibiotics. Overall garlic was found to be more detrimental to pathological bacteria when compared to normal gut flora (reference). Garlic's diallyl disulfide has also been found to effectively cause cell death in Candida albicans which is a fungus in our gut which if not kept in check can cause health problems (reference).
Inulin and fructooligosaccharides present in garlic can also serve as nutrients for the probiotics colonizing your body (reference).

Ford F1 Steering Column Upgrade - Steer ClearWritten by on December 1, 2008 A Contemporary Option For A Classic Application
The steering system in a classic truck is one that can oftentimes leave something to be desired when compared to those of contemporary automobiles. And those trucks equipped with a huge steering wheel on a rather flat plane similar to that of a bus hooked to a worn original box and tie-rod ends can only further that desire to upgrade to something a little less archaic. Enter today's aftermarket industry and the plethora of options available that provide everything from the mundane to the insane. From stock style, no frills, straight, plain steel, to polished billet aluminum telescopic, tilt columns with automatic shifters, turn signals, and a complete wiring harness, the sky's the limit when it comes to retrofitting that old hauler with an upgraded steering column and associated components.
The stock steering system on many old Fords is one of those that falls under the "room for improvement" category, especially when other suspension upgrades have been made. Obviously, if a Mustang II front suspension setup has replaced that straight-axle design, it probably included a contemporary rack-and-pinion setup, as well. If this is the case, you have two options: modifying that original column to accept modern universal joints or replacing it completely. We recently went through such a predicament with our project F-1 and turned to the gang over at Flaming River Industries to get our project pointed in the right direction.
While our requirements were fairly simple compared to some more radical applications, we did have a few stipulations for the Flaming River crew. First off, since we're building our F-1 with a "traditional" mindset, we wanted the majority of components to appear as close to stock as possible. Obviously, with the installation of a Mustang II IFS and the prerequisite universal joints that accompany a rack-and-pinion steering system, there were consolations to be made. But when it came down to choosing a steering column, we wanted it to appear as original as possible while still embracing some of the more "creature comfort" features that a modern, aftermarket steering column can provide.
That said, they directed us to their Nostalgia line of steering columns. These feature a classic bell-style column that is almost identical to the stock Ford unit with the convenience of a built-in, modern GM turn signal, hazard, and horn setup. Further investigation revealed that the Flaming River crew was working on a telescopic unit that featured a full 2 inches of adjustability without the bulkiness of some telescopic units. Given the rather limited adjustability of the stock F-1 bench seat, this sounded like a sensible option if our wives or girlfriends ever wanted to hop in the driver's seat and head to the grocery store. The telescopic ability also facilitates changing steering wheels with varying degrees of dish and still maintaining a comfortable driving position. After taking a few measurements of the stock F-1 column and cab, we gave Flaming River a jingle and had them whittle out a polished stainless steel unit for the old truck.
With the column sorted, our conversation turned (no pun intended) to mating the column's 1-inch DD shaft to the rack-and-pinion's 3/4-inch by 36-spline output shaft. They recommended using a three U-joint system to alleviate any drastic steering angles, resulting in a steering system that would be absent of any bind and would allow it to collapse in the event of a frontend collision. Of course, that would necessitate adding a support bearing somewhere in the system to prevent the shafts from binding as well as keep it solidly mounted; a simple addition that is mounted off a custom-made bracket.
We started out with a 30-inch Telescopic Nostalgia column mounted off a 2 1/2-inch column drop and bolted it to the dash in the stock location. The toeboard on our F-1 was a bit worse for wear, and after our pedals were installed, we welded up a new plate to clean up the floor. A 2-inch hole was cut in the new toeboard for the column to slip through, and with the new column in place, we were off and running.

Here's our Telescopic Nostalgia column and drop from Flaming River we'll be using for the install. Note the similarity between it and the stock F-1 truck column above it. The stock column is longer since it bolted directly to the stock steering box on the framerail; the new column will connect to a universal joint on the engine side of the firewall.We bolted the stock column in place and used it to mark the location for the exit hole in the toeboard. A 2-inch holesaw was used to cut the opening that the new steering column will pass through.Originally, we planned to use a swivel floor mount to locate the bottom of our column. Unfortunately, the swivel mount is roughly 4 inches in diameter and interfered with the pedals.While flipping through their latest catalog, we came along this simple floor mount sold by LimeWorks Speed Shop that will mount the column solidly while clearing both pedals.The mount bolts to the floor and then clamps the steering column snugly against the bracket. Once the insulation and carpet are installed, the bracket will not be visible.Since we used the stock column to locate the hole in the floor, the mounting holes on the dash line right up, allowing the new column and drop to bolt right in. Note the knob on the bottom of the column drop that allows the driver to adjust the column's telescopic feature.
In the raised position, it's possible to see just how much height is actually obtained; 2 inches to be exact, which works great if you're 6 foot 4 inches and your wife is 5 foot 2.With the column installed, it's time to start installing the U-joints. The first to go on is the joint at the rack. This is a 3/4-inch 36-spline female on the rack side and a 3/4-inch DD on the other. Note the flat surface machined onto the output shaft on the rack; this is where the set screw will index.A 1-inch DD x 3/4-inch DD U-joint attached to the bottom of the column and a section of 1/2-inch rod help us estimate how the steering shafts will run. The starter on the Hemi is low enough to be out of the way, but the header will need to be dodged.With the middle U-joint attached and a section of the same 1/2-inch rod installed between it and the lower U-joint, the steering shaft assembly is mocked up and can now be disassembled and measured so our polished stainless 3/4-inch DD shafts can be cut to match.Once the shafts are cut, the assembly is installed and checked for any bind or clearance issues. Also note the steering support bearing, a must since our steering system is of the three U-joint design.This prevents any bind-in a multiple U-joint system and attaches to the chassis by a fabricated bracket, tacked into place for now.The set screws on the lower U-joint are awfully close to the header. This may require either the header flange or the pinch bolt to be modified slightly to avoid unwanted contact. These are the kinds of problems to look for when assembling a steering system.Flaming River recommends a maximum of 35 degrees on any single U-joint and a more desirable angle of 15 degrees. Any more than 35 degrees necessitates using a double U-joint. We checked the angle of our middle joint, as it looked slightly radical, but it came well within the 35-degree max rule, so the single joint will be fine.
Using a drill press, a small indentation is made on the steering shafts. These indentations were marked by the U-joint set screws when the assembly was tightened down and will ensure the set screws indent properly to the shafts.Using a drill press, a small indentation is made on the steering shafts.

But the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking of our wonderful little (huge) Ruck, is that he can get really stinky. My husband bathes him twice a month but that just wasn't enough for my sensitive nose. Did I tell you he's an indoor dog? Yeah, if he's gonna be near me, my carpet, couch, and clothes he needs to smell decent.
So, on one of our many trips to PetSmart, I was yet again perusing the dog bath section when I ran across this little piece of heaven. These diaper wipe looking things magically take away almost all stinky dog odor with just a few swipes across your dogs fur. And they only cost a few bucks. Well worth it if you ask me.

text: Remember that show The Little Rascal's? Well in the show there was a dog that everyone adored. His name was Spike, but he wasn't a Bull terrier. Instead he was an American Bulldog. The dog in the lesson is that of a bull terrier and this breed of dog was the mascot of a beer campaign for Budweiser. His name was Spud Mckenzie. Bull terriers are very distinctive looking because of their oblong shaped snouts and small stubby bodies that have a muscle to them. Drawing this bull terrier is going to be so fun because he is so darn cute. I love the ring around the eye, as well as the red collar and pretty background. Have fun drawing a bull terrier folks, and if you like drawing dogs, you should stick around because there is more to come. Adios mi amigos!

Learning to Knit…Again
I'm going to get a little personal here and share a story about my latest knitting project. I hope you'll all be kind. It wasn't my first time knitting, but it certainly felt like I was learning to knit all over again.
Last week I started working on the beautiful headband Ryll from booklet #323 Berroco Cirrus. It had been a few months since I'd knit anything and almost a year since I'd knit something that required more than a Stockinette stitch. Still, I thought it would be a piece of cake. This is what it looked like last Wednesday.
Norah & Amanda were kind enough to hide their laughter. I had made a few mistakes.
- I didn't wind the hank into a ball. (It was getting messy!)
- I forgot to move the yarn in front of the needle for purl stitches. (I did fix this before I brought it to work, though.)
- I accidentally reversed my Stockinette stitch 3 times! (I'll admit I was a bit sleepy when I started knitting and I kept forgetting which row I was on. I tried to guess by looking at my last few stitches, but I was wrong…very wrong.)
Sure, it was embarrassing to mess up these knitting basics. After all, I first learned to knit more than a decade ago. But I was easily frustrated by slippery stitches and the unnecessarily cumbersome needles that I'd borrowed from my mom. So for years I focused on crochet – only knitting when I saw a pattern that I couldn't convert for my hook. I guess it was silly to think I could throw myself into any easy knitting project without a few refreshers. Luckily, my co-workers are not only excellent teachers, they're also very patient!
I tried to tear out the bad stitches, but it wasn't easy. The halo of fibers that make Berroco Cirrus so soft and beautiful also make the process of undoing mistakes a bit time-consuming. So I started over and finished my headband this past weekend. What do you think?
Whether you're new to knitting or learning to knit again (like me), I hope my story is a reminder that it's always a good idea to ask for help. The Berroco Design Team is a great resource for us all. You can check out our library of How-To Videos or if you don't see the stitch you're struggling with, you can always email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Feel free to share stories of your beginner knitting mistakes in the comments. I'd love to know I'm not alone!
It's always a challenge getting started again! Good for you for pushing through AND correcting your mistakes! So many people get frustrated and just stop. Good luck on your next project!November 14, 2012

About two weeks ago I started a shawl that's mostly stockinette with a lace border. I'd knit the pattern twice before and got two beautiful shawls in a relatively short time with no major glitches. Well, the third time into that pattern was a nightmare. The half-done shawl was full of twisted, reverse stockinette, and dropped stitches and the stitch count was way off (this was in the stockinette portion before even starting the lace).
I frogged and started over. Same problems. Frogged again. Even worse screw ups after starting a third time. Frogged one last time. The yarn just does NOT want to be that shawl (it couldn't possibly have been me, could it?). The yarn's been put aside now to be tapped for a different project later.
Some projects just seem meant to be and some aren't. If things keep going horribly wrong (as with the shawl), it could be time to rethink and regroup. Knitting or crocheting disasters can happen to the most experienced of us at any time. The key is to not let them get us down, then move on to something else. Don't think of it as a defeat. Instead, think of it as a judicious use of knitting (or crocheting) time.November 14, 2012
Great read Ashley – you had me giggling the whole time! I'm in a reverse situation than you in that I'm crocheting again for the first time in…um…I dunno…6 or 7 years? I'm making a Tunisian Entrelac afghan and so far there are 2 oopsies, both noticed a row of blocks later. I'm leaving them and referring to them as "design changes".
Keep up the great work – and keep sharing with the rest of usNovember 14, 2012

Ashley, if it makes you feel any better…..mistakes, and just like the ones you made, aren't necessarily limited to beginners…….I've knitted the very same baby blanket over 50 times, and it's my own design, so I can't blame the designer….every blanket or so, I get some strange looking trellis pattern. The first few times, I frogged and corrected. Now I just cover the mistakes with little crocheted posies. Folks think I designed it that way. Nobody knows. Just me. And now you. Second go around turned out beautifully…good job!November 15, 2012
Well your headband turned out super! Yeah for Norah and Amanda! Yeah for not giving up!
Now back to your regularly-scheduled crochet …November 16, 2012

WINTERSVILLE - Indian Creek Middle School sixth-grade science teacher Michelle Minto believes in giving her students the ultimate hands-on experience.
Minto spoke to school board members Thursday night about the use of a blended curriculum.
"I have incorporated a number of hands-on activities as well as experimental practices in the classroom to make science more interesting," Minto explained. "We have a scientist of the week recognition each Friday and the students really enjoy performing different experiments. However, we still read and discuss each chapter together and make sure that the students understand the terminology as well."
Minto's approach has earned her the chance to present at the National Science Convention in April in San Antonio. She asked the board for approval to attend the convention as well as for any financial backing it might be able to provide.
The board then heard an update on the middle school project from Angie LaTessa, project manager for Richard L. Bowen and Associates.
"The building is coming along wonderfully," she said. "It is very colorful and the technology is coming along great. It really looks beautiful and it is moving along right on schedule."
Sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade district students will begin attending classes in the new building after the Christmas break, Superintendent John Rocchi noted.
In other matters, the board:
Approved educational field trips to Paris requested by social studies teacher Jonathan Hoover. The first trip is from Jan. 30 to Feb. 5 and the second trip is from Feb. 6 to Feb. 12.
Approved an agreement with Ohio University Eastern to serve as a laboratory school for early experience and student teaching assignments for the 2012-2013 school year.
Congratulated eighth-grade math teacher Cathy DiBenedetto for her Ohio Council of Teachers of Mathematics award.
Approved an increase in the hourly wage rate for substitute support staff to $7.85 and hou rfrom $7.70 and hour to comply with the new Ohio minimum wage requirement effective Jan. 1.
Approved the following for inclusion on the classified substitute list: Natalie Boller, classroom aide, secretary and cafeteria; Gerald Burch, bus driver; Katherine Kauffman, classroom aide, secretary, cafeteria and custodian; and Wayne Peckins, bus driver.
Approved Lori Orban as Indian Creek Middle School girls basketball coach and Zeb Edgerly as Indian Creek Middle School boys basketball coach.
Approved the resignation requests of Gretchen Turnbaugh, two years of service, and Charles Gump, eight years of service.
Adopted a resolution naming Jess Looman of the Herald-Star and Adam Del Rosso of WTOV-TV to the Ohio School Boards Association Media Honor Roll for fair and balanced education reporting and exemplary service to the Indian Creek community.

BLOOMINGDALE - Friends, family and faculty gathered Thursday at the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School to learn of awards and scholarships bestowed to students during the school's annual awards banquet.
Dale Edwards, superintendent, acted as master of ceremonies for the event. He told graduating students that if they want to succeed they must follow through on their goals.
"If you want to get something done, stick with it," he told students, adding goals are achieved by remaining focused. "Day-to-day decisions will have to be made, but we should not permit them to get in the way of carrying out a mission. Time and energy are limited so know what you are working toward, stay motivated and keep your eye on the 'big picture.'"

CONGRATULATIONS — Dale Edwards, superintendent of the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School, congratulated students who had attained scholarships and other honors during the school's academic banquet held Thursday.
Edwards also said students would face obstacles in the future, but that shouldn't prevent students from achieving their goals.
"Being passionate in achieving a lofty goal is helpful," continued Edwards. "However, it's knowledge and skills that are essential to accomplishing success. Searching for best practices of others can also support one's efforts, but not forgetting your own past experiences can help to strategize future plans."
Awards and scholarships awarded included the American Red Cross award, Ashley Grimm; Bergholz Community Foundation, Joshua Conley; Bergholz Community Foundation Leroy Saltsman Memorial, Ashley Grimm; Blaner Gift, Sierra Murphy; Borden Office Equipment, Mariah Starliper; and Suzanne and Dr. Tom Brown award, Amy Chappel.
