login authentication based desktop view extjs 4 with JAVA
Sencha forum members I am trying to develop an application , in which I want to show the desktop view based on the login authentication.
I had achieved the desktop view in extjs 4, but that doesn't depend on the login authentication. I want to authenticate user based on it designation, and if he is authenticate I will show him his desktop view only.
I am using ext js version 4.0.2a with JAVA as my server side technology.
All kind of suggestion and ideas are welcome.

I use a JSF page for logging then rediect to ExtJS's application page. User's session is created in the backing bean.
First thing app's launch does is checking if user is logged in in the server:
launch: function() { Ext.Ajax.request({ url : "./rest/datos/firmado", method : "GET", success : function(r) { if (r.responseText == "0") { // Suscriptor normal Ext.create("AG.view.PrincipalNormal"); } else if (r.responseText == "1") { // Suscriptor Moviclub Ext.create("AG.view.PrincipalMoviclub"); } else { DataUtils.startPage(); } }, failure : function(){ DataUtils.startPage(); } }); }
Each time ExtJS application ask for some service first thing java code does is if there is a valid session, else returns success = false, for example (JAX-RS fragment):
@GET @Path("/recibidosmes") @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) public String recibidosMes(@QueryParam("ano") int ano, @QueryParam("mes") int mes) { JsonObject result = new JsonObject(); try { Suscriptor suscriptor = getSuscriptor(); Number cant = (Number) getEntityManager() .createNativeQuery(SQL_RECIBIDOS_MES) .setParameter(1, suscriptor.getId()).setParameter(2, ano) .setParameter(3, mes).getSingleResult(); result.addProperty(ROOT_NAME, cant); result.addProperty(SUCCESS, true); } catch (Throwable t) { logger.error("datosMes()", t); result = processException(t); } return result.toString(); }
@Inject private SesionUsuario sesionUsuario; protected SesionUsuario getSesionUsuario() { return sesionUsuario; } protected Suscriptor getSuscriptor() throws Exception { if (!sesionUsuario.isFirmado()) { throw new Exception(NO_FIRMADO); } return sesionUsuario.getSuscriptor(); }

so much thanks for your response and showing your intereset in this topic.
I had in my mind some ideas please suggest me I am wrong or right.
1. I am using spring so based on the input of user id and password I will redirect the response to my jsp pages.
like if the company person logins, I will redirect him to company.jsp page which will create the whole desktop for him to do all the company task.
2. If the employee person logins, I will redirect him to employee.jsp page which will create the whole desktop for him to do all the employee related tasks like adding attendance, view his working scheduler. etc
3. If the HR logins, I will redirect him to hr.jsp page which will create the whole desktop for him to do all the HR related tasks like making hole schedule for a month, see the working hours of the employee. etc
please suggest me how do I can achieve this using spring. I will send the request to server like userid and password based on it I will redirect them to there respective jsp pages.

Is there is a prepackaged version or pre-compiled package of Intel's Graphic Drivers?
I have an Intel GMA 3150 graphics adapter. One option is compiling from source, from the http://intellinuxgraphics.com website, but I don't know how to compile.
Is there is a prepackaged version or pre-compiled package of Intel's Graphic Drivers?
I have an Intel GMA 3150 graphics adapter. One option is compiling from source, from the http://intellinuxgraphics.com website, but I don't know how to compile.
This driver is integrated in Ubuntu, as the whole package of drivers from the Intel Linux Graphics suite is. For the very latest builds of graphics drivers, you can try X.org edgers PPA (warning: experimental1).
You should not have to compile from source for any regular piece of hardware. If you boot up Ubuntu 12.10 on this hardware it works out of the box and you should not have to worry about drivers.
1 "Experimental" when used in Ubuntu PPAs mean that the software is more or less in the "Beta/testing" phase. Therefore it's more likely to experience bugs, so you should not use them if you don't know how/don't want to take the time to fix you system if something goes wrong.
Unless you are having issues with your graphics it is recommended that you use the default Ubuntu drivers, they have been extensively tested. Intel graphic cards are open source so that they have the best default drivers as the developers know how the card works so can write the drivers to take full advantage of the cards.
Nvidia and other graphics cards are closed source so you have to use the company's drivers or the Linux ones that are usually not as good. This is because the Linux drivers that are written are made by reverse engineering the card.
Intel on the other hand not only has open source drivers but help to write Linux the drivers, hence both Linux and Intel improve.
The short answer here is you already have Intel drivers installed but read on for more...
There are some exceptions, as I mentioned above if you are having problems with your current driver. The other notable exception is if you want to use Steam for Linux it is recommended that you use the updated drivers. See this Wiki for more.
To install theses drivers you can use a Ubuntu PPA type the following into a termnal
The drivers that this will install will be the latest Intel drivers that are considered "stable" but there is still the possibility that it will break something(mine is running fine with the
You can remove the
More info in managing ppas on webupd8.org
Purging a ppa will uninstall the ppa and then reinstall the latest program(driver in this case) that is available in the official Ubuntu Repositories.
Hope this helps, your question is a duplicate of Compiling and installing Intel graphics card drivers but the answers there do not mention Steam or how to remove the

Population and Environment
Faculty in the Ecology, Environment, and Evolution concentration in the Department of Anthropology maintain research and teaching expertise in the intersecting issues of population and human-environment interactions. Research specialties include formal demography and biodemography and life history theory (Jones) and the political ecology of population growth in tropical forests (Curran, Durham). Our faculty have particular strengths in the interaction between human populations and the implications for biodiversity preservation and resource conservation.
Jones is the co-Principal Investigator on a long-running NICHD-supported demographic training grant based at Stanford. This grant has provided training for dozens of anthropology Ph.D. students from Stanford and many other research universities and regularly brings anthropological demographers to campus on a regular basis. This project links Stanford's Anthropology department with other departments within the university, especially Sociology, Biological Sciences, and Medicine, and a network of US-based and international population centers. Jones is also on the executive committee of the new Stanford Center for Population Research (SCPR), where various Anthropology faculty (Curran, Durham) maintain affiliations with SCPR.
Students working in this area have investigated the impact of violent death on marriage markets in Colombia, the demography of hunter-gatherers, the impact of transmigration projects on the health and well-being of forest people, and the political economy of REDD projects. Student research in the area of population and environment is regularly supported by grants from the Morrison Institute for Population and Resource Studies at Stanford.

Grid Auto-Refresh possible?
I've got my first widget working (hurrah!)
One final thing to get working, I need the data (loaded initially via Ajax) to auto-refresh every minute.
I can see ways to do this by editing the exported project files, but that means I can't use Ext Designer again, doesn't it?
Is this possible? Any pointers welcome.

Hi Rachel,
First off, congrats
The exported xds_* files are not necessarily meant to be used verbatim. They are only quick "preview" files, so you can load your exported components into ABC browser to preview them. The only true takeaway from your exported project are your component files (.ui.js and .js files for each component/store), which you would include into your application and use accordingly. The xds_* files do provide a good "jump start" to copy from of course.
Also, in your project preferences, you can uncheck "Export xds_* Files" and your xds_* files will no longer be exported/overwritten. That of course also means that they aren't updated if you add new top-level components to your project.
So with all of that in mind, you can of course get a reference to your store and reload it every minute:
var interval = setInterval(function() { var store = Ext.StoreMgr.lookup('myStoreId'); store.reload(); }, 60000);

When using Facebook Sharer, Facebook will offer the user the option of using 1 of a few images pulled from the source as a preview for their link. How are these images selected, and how can I ensure that any particular image on my page is always included in this list?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
How do I tell Facebook which image to use when my page gets shared?
Facebook has a set of open-graph meta tags that it looks at to decide which image to show.
The keys one for the Facebook image are:
and it should be present inside the
If these tags are not present, it will look for their older method of specifying an image:
Can I specify multiple images to allow the user to select an image?
Yes, you just need to add multiple image meta tags in the order you want them to appear in. The user will then be presented with an image selector dialog:
I specified the appropriate image meta tags. Why isn't Facebook accepting the changes?
Once a url has been shared, Facebook's crawler, which has a user agent of
Also, the images on the page must be publicly accessible to the Facebook crawler. You should specify absolute url's like http://example.com/yourimage.jpg instead of just /yourimage.jpg.
Can I update these meta tags with client side code like Javascript or jQuery? No. Much like search engine crawlers, the Facebook scraper does not execute scripts so whatever meta tags are present when the page is downloaded are the meta tags that are used for image selection.
Adding these tags causes my page to no longer validate. How can I fix this?
You can add the necessary Facebook namespaces to your tag and your page should then pass validation:
When you share for Facebook, you have to add in your html into the head section next meta tags:
And that's it!
Add the button as you should according to what FB tells you.
All the info you need is in www.facebook.com/share/
As of 2013, if you're using facebook.com/sharer.php (PHP) you can simply make any button/link like:
Link query parameters:
It's plain simple: you do not need any js or other settings. Is just an HTML raw link. Style the A tag in any way you want to.
Put the following tag in the
From http://www.facebook.com/share_partners.php
As far as what it chooses as the default in the absence of this tag, I'm not sure.
Old way, no longer works:
Reported new way, also does not work:
It randomly worked off and on during the first day I implemented it, hasn't worked at all since.
The Facebook linter page, a utility that inspects your page, reports that everything is correct and does display the thumbnail I selected... just that the share.php page itself doesn't seem to be functioning. Has to be a bug over at Facebook, one they apparently don't care to fix as every bug report regarding this issue I've seen in their system all say resolved or fixed.
From my experience, the http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php does not use meta tags. It uses the string you pass. See below.
http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?s=100&p[title]=THIS IS MY TITLE&p[summary]=THIS IS MY SUMMARY&p[url]=http://www.MYURL.com&&p[images][0]=http://www.MYURL.com/img/IMAGEADDRESS
The meta tags work with Facebook's developer like/send buttons, as does the other Open Graph info. So if you use one of Facebook's actual elements like the comments and such, that will all tie into the Open Graph stuff.
UPDATE: There are two ways to use the sharer * note the ?s versus the ?u value in the query string
To change Title, Description and Image, we need to add some meta tags under head tag.
Add your URL in text box (e.g http://www.test.com/) where you mentioned the tags. Click on DEBUG button.
Its done.
You can verify here https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://www.test.com/
In above url, u = your website link
I had this problem and fixed it with manuel-84's suggestion. Using a 400x400px image worked great, while my smaller image never showed up in the sharer.
Note that Facebook recommends a minimum 200px square image as the og:image tag: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/howtos/maximizing-distribution-media-content/#tags
For secure HTTPS
This is what worked for me: I placed the desired thumbnail image on the page right after the tag and making it too small to see..
I have not tested it with height 0 and width 0 but it probably will still work.. This does not guarantee the user will select this image..
ALSO it seems like Facebook caches the thumbnails on your page and doesnt always check it for new ones.. try adding this to another page on your site and you'll see that it works.
I couldn't get Facebook to pick the right image from a specific post, so I did what's outlined on this page:
In other words, something like this:
Basically, you're going to hard code an if statement into your site's HTML to get it to change the meta content for whatever you've changed for that one post. It's a messy solution, but it works.

emptyText is submitted with the form
Hi all,
If I set emptyText on a text field, then if the form is submitted with the field 'empty' (but showing the emptyText) then the value of emptyText is submitted. I think this value should be display only and never submitted. Typically the value is some sort of prompt which isn't usually sensible to submit.

I noticed the same issue today. Is it bug or feature?

This is fixed in the SVN release
/** * Returns the raw data value which may or may not be a valid, defined value. To return a normalized value see {@link #getValue}. * @return {Mixed} value The field value */ getRawValue : function(){ var v = this.el.getValue(); if(v === this.emptyText){ v = ''; } return v; }, /** * Returns the normalized data value (undefined or emptyText will be returned as ''). To return the raw value see {@link #getRawValue}. * @return {Mixed} value The field value */ getValue : function(){ var v = this.el.getValue(); if(v == this.emptyText || v === undefined){ v = ''; } return v; },

It looks like this problem still exists in Ext 1.1 Beta 2 (as of today, 7/2/2007).
Any hot fix suggestions?
2 Jul 2007 4:27 PM #5
okey i wrote a small workaround for this.
i'll have to say that i think this patch is less then ideal and i do not recommend patching ext in this way... but if you really want this problem solved try this:
add the following lines of code to Action.js line 108:
PHP Code:
if (o.clientValidation === false || this.form.isValid()){
this.form.items.each(function(f) {
if (f.el.getValue() == f.emptyText) {
f.el.dom.value = '';
The form.submit() action uses a form serializer instead of the getValue() field functions the raw dom value is send to the server. (this is the value including emptyText if the field is empty)
So the fix posted above does work, only not for a form.submit() action. Since i do not want to start editing in files other then those of ext themselfs. I build the above work around.
Just before the XHR submit-request to the server, this deletes the emptyText value from the dom. Then when the Ext.lib.Ajax.formRequest serializes the form there is no emptyText in there anymore.
The next time the form validates itself, the emptyText will reappear.
Related problems
You will also hit this problem if you use: form.getValues() as that method also uses the serializer.
This patch will not work for that, but i could use a similar workaround. (again remember, this is not very good
way to work around this... hopefully the ext team will come up with something better, like using getValue() methods or serializers that check for emptyText)
The patched file attached here is based on the Ext 1.0.1 release.
Please apply the workaround yourself or do a diff; if you want to apply it on any other version.
Post Scriptum
If your client types the same value as emptyText in your Field the workaround will not do the desired thing. It will consider the typed value the same as emptyText, which it is clearly not. For 9 out of 10 people this will not be a problem, but if it is you should also check the css (aka the light grey text, instead of black typed text)

trbs, you're a pro! thanks a lot!
6 Jul 2007 9:39 PM #7
There has got to be a more elegant way to handle this. Whats the point of having emptyText if it cant gracefully handle the case when the user may have not updated that field. trbs fix sorta works, it blanks out the field. If the submit doesn't work and returns a server side error that requires the form to remain for more changes, the field is not empty, but the emptyText is no longer available. Heck I guess something similar to ComboBox's hiddenName might work (don't get me started on the problems with ComboBox...)
I'm guessing most people use this feature for context hints for fields, or what is the intended purpose of emptyText? A default value? Maybe I'm just using it wrong.
Sorry for the semi-rant, 6 hours sleep in the last 3 days will do that to ya.
7 Jul 2007 12:40 PM #8
I understand your frustration.
I think that the nomenclature for Ext.form.Field's are a bit misleading...
I was confused with the differences between blankText/emptyText at first, and the bugs with emptyText did not help me much either.
However, I think trbs's fix works well though, and I'm sure we'll see a fix and (hopefully) a rename in the next version.
It may already be fixed in a SVN release. I'm not sure.
7 Jul 2007 1:43 PM #9
It is not a "bug" with emptyText. You have configured the field to have text in it when it goes empty, instead of being empty. So, when it is submittedto the server, it has the value you asked for it to have. How is this a bug?
Clearing out that value before submit is definitely a desirable option, but it isn't currently implemented or supported. trbs posted a nice workaround. I tried it and it seems to work well.Jack Slocum

Empty text is assumed to be used as a helper for customers. I realize what you're saying, but I also assumed it as well. I've since stopped using empty text where fields are not required to be filled in.
Eh, i can see both sides of the fence being right. Perhaps an option to not send the empty text value?https://moduscreate.com/wp-content/t...es/favicon.png

This photo released on Thursday, Dec. 8, 2011, by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, claims to show the chief of the aerospace division of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, left, listening to an unidentified colonel as he points to US RQ-170 Sentinel drone which Tehran says its forces downed earlier this week. (Credit: AP Photo/Sepahnews)
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- A senior commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard says his country will not return a U.S. surveillance drone captured by its armed forces.
Deputy head of the Guard Gen. Hossein Salami said Sunday in
remarks broadcast on state television that the violation of Iran's
airspace by the U.S. drone is a "hostile act" and warned of a
"bigger" response.
But he didn't elaborate on what Iran might do.
Iranian television broadcast video Thursday of Iranian military
officials inspecting what it identified as the RQ-170 Sentinel drone, and offered the first evidence that Tehran had captured the aircraft.
Iranian state radio has said the unmanned aircraft was detected
over the eastern town of Kashmar, some 140 miles (225 kilometers)
from the border with Afghanistan.
U.S. officials have acknowledged losing the drone.

Great news: Another green-tech stimulus recipient job flop
posted at 11:35 am on February 7, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Last we heard from the Fisker Karma, the electric vehicle in which US taxpayers sunk $193 million so far, the loans were paying off by creating jobs … in Finland. As it turns out, even that report was too optimistic. With Fisker having burned through about 40% of the stimulus funds guaranteed by the Obama administration, they have suddenly run out of money — and will start ending jobs in the US rather than create them:
Fisker Automotive, the electric car company that received a half-billion dollars in Energy Department loan guarantees, announced layoffs at its Delaware production facility Monday.
The Energy Department agreed to loans totaling $528 million for two Fisker electric car projects: a luxury model — the$103,000 Karma which is on sale now — and a more affordable sedan, the Nina. …
"We have temporarily delayed work at the plant based on ongoing discussions with the DOE regarding funding for the Project Nina program. As a result, we have laid-off 26 people," the company said in a statement Monday.
It's never a good sign when a firm has to plead for more time by explaining that it's searching for more private equity investment to get production rolling:
Fisker said it continues to pursue alternative funding sources. "We have successfully raised an additional $260 million of equity in late 2011, bringing the total amount of private equity financing to more than $850 million," the company said.
The $193 million Fisker has received was for the production of its Karma line. That's the model whose production got moved to Finland rather than the US, where the money was supposed to create jobs. The Karma is available for purchase, but it's a model only affordable to the so-called 1%, unless one of the 99% plan to live in it instead of a house or condominium. Even the supposedly "more affordable" Nina would be out of range for most working Americans. Last October, Autoblog pegged the MSRP for the Nina at $45,000, more than the Chevy Volt, which isn't exactly selling like hotcakes at the subsidized MSRP of $32,000. For the same money, a buyer could drive off the lot in a BMW 3 series car, one that won't require several thousand dollars in new batteries in its first five to eight years on top of the purchase price.
Let's assume that the Nina sells as well as the Volt, if Fisker ever starts production on it. Their first year would have 7700 units sold for which Fisker would have received approximately $336 million in loans (the original $529 million less the $193 million for the Karma). That comes to $43,636 in subsidies per car, or almost the entire estimated MSRP of the Nina, making the actual cost closer to $90,000. It's just that the taxpayer would have bought half of the car.
When Joe Biden visited the Delaware plant to promote the stimulus grant, he promised union workers about 2,000 jobs on the basis of the half-billion-dollar commitment to Fisker for the Karma and the Nina. Right now the total from $193 million is -26 jobs, and another green-tech firm talking about the need to find new capital after missing its targets for the green-tech loans.

TOPEKA ZOO -- The Topeka Zoo is proud to announce that two of their Bornean Orangutans are pregnant. Lena, 30 years of age, and Rudy, 27, are both expected to deliver their babies in late February.
As part of their ongoing conservation efforts, the Topeka Zoo participates in the Species Survival Program (SSP). Through this program, SSP recommendations advised the breeding of both females.
"We are thrilled with this news" said Brendan Wiley, Zoo Director. "In a time where the Bornean Orangutan population is declining at alarming rates, we are able to make a difference in this species right here in Topeka".
This is the second pregnancy for Rudy. Her previous pregnancy resulted in the birth of Rayma who is now seven years old and resides at the zoo. This is the first pregnancy for Lena. Both orangutans will be followed closely by Zoo Veterinarian Dr. Shirley Llizo, local veterinarian Dr. Leon Conner, as well as Perinatologist Dr. John Evans, who oversees the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Department at Stormont-Vail HealthCare.
An orangutans gestation period is 8 1/2 months. At birth, the offspring weigh approximately 3 1/2 pounds. Infant orangutans will stay in close contact with their mothers for a long time. For the first two years, the infant is completely reliant on the mother for both food and transportation and will be found clinging to the mothers stomach, side, or back as she swings from tree to tree in the jungle.
Sadly, the Bornean Orangutan is listed as endangered. Less than 20,000 Bornean Orangutans remain in the wild. A number of threats including deforestation, mining, poaching and illegal trade are threatening the populations of this species as well as their habitat.

If you're like most people, the sight of honeybees swarming in your backyard invokes a frenzy of fear rather than delight. But, Carrie VanWinkle, a third generation beekeeper, is working hard to dispel the myth that honeybees are harmful by teaching people the beauty and benefit of a beehive.
Through her business, Fleur-de-bee, VanWinkle provides a range of education and support in her passion, beekeeping. Whether a new or established beekeeper, she'll help you build and sustain your very own apiary with a list of resources and full and part-time services. She also specializes in sustainable approaches to beekeeping, while assisting beekeepers who live in an urban environment.
The Voice-Tribune caught up with VanWinkle to learn more about Fleur-de-bee and why the honeybee population is so vital to our community.
What sparked your interest in beekeeping?
My dad had some beehives when I was in middle school, so I think I just was comfortable around them. As I got older, it just really was an interest … I wanted to know more … and the timing seemed right about six years ago to give it a try. The bees are amazing, and it seemed like the more I learned the more I wanted to learn. They're just really interesting and beautiful and not to mention (they make) honey.
Why did you first start Fleur-de-bee?
I just started for myself, becoming a hobby bee keeper and as I immersed myself and became more experienced I realized other people were (beekeeping) and needed some help. I have a background in teaching … so it just kind of came naturally this passion for beekeeping and helping others learn more.
What all does your business offer?
The main things that I do are the group education and the one-on-one consultations. I do a lot of first consultations where I go out to where people are keeping the bees. I teach them where you get your bees, what type of hive you want to use, so (I help with) a lot of those first key decisions and connect them to resources for that. And, I'll do follow up and come by as needed. But, my passion is more around teaching others (beekeeping) themselves and so I like to focus on that.
How is beekeeping in an urban area different from rural beekeeping?
Some of the uniqueness of the urban keeper is really the community that they're in. Beekeepers used to keep hives out on farms where they were out of sight, out of mind for people. As we bring beehives to the city, some people aren't familiar and are uncomfortable keeping bees. I'm all about being a good ambassador … and help people understand not only bee behavior, but also how they can help support a healthy honeybee population.
Is there a misconception that bees can be dangerous?
There really is a difference (between the type of bee). All of them are important pollinators but there are, in general, some behavior differences. A wasp can be more aggressive; a honeybee will never be aggressive, it will only be defensive. It will only protect the hive if it feels like it needs to do that. Wasps have a smooth stinger and sting multiple times and with a honeybee they have a jagged stinger which means they can only sting once and then they die … so, they don't want to sting; they don't want to die.
Do you get stung very much while beekeeping?
Some beekeepers use their protective gear and some beekeepers don't. Usually I use my veil and my gloves and I rarely get stung. Most of the time if I have gotten stung it's my fault.
Why is a healthy honeybee population so important?
We've become really disconnected with where food comes from so if we reeducate ourself on where food comes from we are realizing the importance of pollination. We can't talk about local food and not talk about local pollinators.
What's your ultimate goal with Fleur-de-bee?
Whether it's an existing beekeeper a new beekeeper or just a general community member, my general goal is to support a healthy local honeybee population. And one person can't do that, it has to be a community … Sadly, movies that we've seen and news reports, they sensationalize the dangers of honeybees, when that's really more of a myth than a reality. I think the more people learn about honeybees, the more they understand the value and really can enjoy and start to love honeybees.

I have a problem with one domain and I have no idea how to go about it. I am volunteering for a small charity in Sheffield (UK), more specifically I am redoing their website. A while ago (few years) there was one guy who made that website for them, sorted out a free hosting with another charity, bought domain name etc. Since the domain name is registered in his name, and he disappeared and we have no way of finding/contacting him, we can't move it to different hosting or do virtually nothing about it. Somehow the domain is being renewed every year, we know which domain registration service provider it is registered with, we know the guys name, and that's about it. How would we go about re-registering that domain in the charity's name, instead of that guy, is that at all possible? If we happen to get in touch with him, what should we ask for?
Call the registrar and ask what their process is. Most (not all) registrars have a process where, if you can prove that the domain was bought on your behalf, or is your trademark, they will give you the account information, or transfer it to another account.
As per ICANN's policy all owners must have up-to-date address and contact information in whois records of their domains. If the number is not correct, just contact the registrar and they will contact the owner so that he/she updates it. Privacy settings must not be turned on for the domains though. Otherwise buy whois history records of the domain from domaintools.com and see if anybody is reacheable.

Bernard Cornwell, the "master of martial fiction" (Booklist), brings Thomas of Hookton from the popular Grail Quest series into a new adventure in 1356, a thrilling stand-alone novel. On September 19, 1356, a heavily outnumbered English army faced off against the French in the historic Battle of Poitiers.
In 1356, Cornwell resurrects this dramatic and bloody struggle - one that would turn out to be the most decisive and improbable victory of the Hundred Years' War, a clash where the underdog English not only the captured the strategic site of Poitiers, but the French King John II as well.
In the vein of Cornwell's best-selling Agincourt, 1356 is an action-packed story of danger and conquest, rich with military strategy and remarkable characters - both villainous and heroic - transporting readers to the front lines of war while painting a vivid picture of courage, treachery, and combat.
©2012 Bernard Cornwell (P)2013 HarperCollins Publishers
"A Classic Story Comes To Life"
Overall, I loved this book. The narration was clear and distinct, and the story was well told. About my only dismay was when I realized that this actually the fourth book of the Grail Quest series, and then I was seriously annoyed to find that books 1-3 are only available as abridged versions.
I honestly don't know why publishers waste their time or effort with abridged versions, I personally won't waste time or money on abridged versions.
Maybe someday someone at Audible will realize that there is a HUGE market for unabridged books.
"Excitingly descriptive medieval battles"
Thomas of Hookton continues his battle against Christian relics. As you listen to the battle scenes you may have to duck to avoid the splatter of blood flying. A quite excellent tale of dastardly Royals, Clerics and varlets and god awful justice handed out. I am still trying to decide if I like this better than the Sharpe sagas. Well worth the credit and maybe even another.
"First class story; first class performance"
Before I review the novel, let me write something about Jack Hawkins. I don't know how many people check the "sample" audio before they decide to purchase a book, but in this case don't be fooled by the short sample. It reflects nothing of the magnificent voices of Jack Hawkins. I know the term has been used many times, but he truly brings the Cornwell characters to life. I wish he had narrated all the author's books.
"1356" despite its blood and gore, is an incredible story with Thomas of Hookton, a leader of a group of mercenary archers, "the Hellequin" as its central character. This book culminates in the Battle of Poitiers, a rather unknown English victory is the 100 years war. But it is more than a tale of war; it is a tale of love between husband and wife (Thomas and Genevieve), a tale of hate between the Count of Labrouillade, a disgusting specimen of a man and his wife who sensibly runs off with another man, and it is a tale of a demonic priest, an ambitious cardinal and other corrupted and corruptible churchmen. It is also a quest story, this time for the sword that St Peter used to cut off the ear of an enemy. In fact, for those following Cornwell's quest novels, this is the fifth.
I highly recommend this book/
Say something about yourself!
"A First Class Yarn!!!!"
I've always been a fan of Cornwell's medieval novels and this is the first one that I have had the pleasure of enjoying as an audiobook. The story is great and Jack Hawkin's narration is first class. Can't wait for the next installment.
"1356: French Deja Vu All Over Again"
1356 is a mix of the Grail Series that featured Thomas of Hookton and Agincourt. Both books ended with a battle where the outnumbered English army defeats a seemingly unbeatable French army outside a small town in France.
In the process, Thomas seeks the sword of Peter, rescures a captured woman; defeats a foe out to destroy him personally; and gets around to playing a key role in winning the battle.
Instead of seeking the Holy Grail, in this book, Thomas seeks the Sword of Peter. There was a belief back in the Middle Ages that a Holy Relic contained great power and the person who owned the relic would be able to use that relic's power for their own personal benefit. Therefore, the owner of the Sword of Peter (the one used to cut off the ear of the slave when Jesus was captured by the Romans) would be unbeatable in battle.
Each of Bernard Cornwell's series have a unique flavor. Their hero is a current or past military figure with his own strengths and weaknesses. That hero must learn to think of others beyond himself. That hero has a foe who personally dislikes him and decides to kill him. Cornwell does a great job is revealing the hero and making him likable without making him unbelievable.
I am a big fan of Cornwell and enjoyed this book. The format is more in keeping with the Grail Series that feaures Thomas and the book would seem to be #4 in the series.
If you like English history with a definite military flavor, you will enjoy this book. And the ending regarding the destiny of the sword was most unique and creative.
"Amazing and Captiving from the first minute!"
I was not sure I would like this book since it's not my usual genre, but the story seemed to have so many facets, that I was willing to take a chance. Especially since the last 4 or 5 books I downloaded were adequate at best. The narrator is the best I have ever heard. His tone is smooth and voice changes for different characters is unique and makes it much easier to follow this incredible and exciting story. I didn't want the 11 hours to be over and was constantly surprised and amazed at the detail and touching stories of each characters life that the author had a never ending supply of. You would feel like you were at the edge of story being told watching it unfold. I can't wait to see what other fabulous books this author has and I hope he uses the same narrator for all of them.
"Absolutely wonderful"
I have always enjoyed Mr. Cornwell's books. I went through the Sharpe's series and wanted to tell him"more". I read all of those and was thoroughly pleased. I have some series I read and some on audible. I don't know why I purchased Agincourt and 1356 on audible but I couldn't be more pleased. Having a teen who thinks the most mundane is " awesome" I hesitate to use superlatives. The narrator made a wonderful story wonderous. If you enjoy Cornwell and historical fiction then this is well worth the listen.
"Couldn't stop listening"
Being drawn into the ambiance of 14th century war and intrigue.
The scene with Thomas, the fresco painter, the cardinal and the priest in the chapel was hilarious.
Almost just right
Hawkins is great, however he repeatedly irritates with a two of my pet peeves: the pronunciation of "all" as "auwlll" (it's amaziing how many words have that ending) and pronouncing the word, "vuLnerable" as "vuNNerable."
"Well done as usual"
Great blend of actual history and conjectured protagonist. Fast pace and engaging.
Cornwell sometimes stumbles but not this time.

If sistren is the female equivalent of brethren, what is the female equivalent of fellow? Words usually paired are: guy/gal; man/woman; boy/girl; lad/lass; brethren/sistren; fraternity/sorority; but I have seen nothing for fellow.

According to Etymology Online, fellow has been:
It would be perfectly acceptable to call a woman a fellow traveler, for instance.
A similarly toned word for a woman, but not related to fellow, might be simply lady, or woman, as in, "my dear lady...".
I think you could conceivably get away with using "fellow" for a woman. ("For she's a jolly good fellow!", although that may be limited to the context of the song.) If you want a word with the same sort of archaic feel as fellow, "chapess" might do the job, although it's both colloquial, and a neologism, as was as being more obviously paired with "chap".
Fellow in the context of an organization or group is gender neutral. Girl, woman or gal otherwise.
Either girl or gal, depending on age of the subject and the context, would carry about the same air of casualness as fellow.
If she is stuck in the 1950's and calling her boyfriend her fellow, those words would work for what he would call her, too. If she is a fellow in the collegiate sense, she is of course a fellow.
Sorry, but I can't come up with a unique form of fellow that is not already paired with one of the others. I wonder if it's a holdover from the era when women were treated with more respect (in polite society, and in public, at least), and so there's a dearth of casual yet respectable words for women from that time. (I may be wrong about the use of fellow elsewhere, but in general I only hear older people using the word).
I have heard the expression "every fellow needs a filly". It's originally used to refer to a female horse but has a less common informal meaning that's comparable to fellow.
To treat only a special case, "a fellow of [some organization]" seems to be treated as fully gender neutral.
"She is a APS Fellow" is fine and simply carries the respect that comes with the position.
I have heard folks from a couple of generations back change the lyrics of the song for he's a jolly good fellow when singing it to a female (any age) to for she's a jolly good lassie
Based on that, lass or more informal lassie would be contenders.
The word you are looking for is "sheila"

This year Maine and Michigan both changed their state laws to allow citizens to use the full line of all consumer fireworks to celebrate the freedoms we cherish in America. In 2011, Kentucky changed its fireworks laws to allow all consumer fireworks, and Utah relaxed its laws to allow aerial repeaters.
Other states and areas currently involved in efforts to change the types of consumer fireworks citizens will be permitted to use include West Virginia, Minnesota and Puerto Rico. What about Ohio?
This movement in the United States to relax the consumer fireworks laws is driven by the fact that the products are safer with related injuries being fewer, the economics of states losing revenue and taxes to neighboring states and the overwhelming desire of Americans to celebrate the Independence Day holiday with fireworks as envisioned by John Adams on July 3, 1776, when the future U.S. president opined in a now famous letter to his wife, Abigail, that Independence Day "Ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations (fireworks) from one end of this continent to the other, from this day forward forevermore."
The legislators in Ohio have the ability to dispatch the liars' form, take Ohioans out of the shadows of illegality and reshape the consumer fireworks laws in Ohio. This is overdue.
The time has come to re-evaluate the anti-consumer fireworks laws in Ohio. Fireworks have never been safer and their use continues to increase every year. This alone provides a strong case for the regulated and sensible use of all consumer fireworks.
In 1994, America imported 117 million pounds of fireworks, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported 12,500 fireworks-related injuries in the United States. By 2010, our fireworks imports grew more than 75 percent, to 205.9 million pounds, but the number of fireworks-related injuries dropped by more than 31 percent to 8,600. This is phenomenal progress in safety for the fireworks industry.
It is indeed unfortunate that illegal explosives and unlicensed and unregulated devices seem to materialize each year in response to consumer demand. These illegal and dangerous devices can be virtually eliminated by making legal, regulated consumer fireworks available to the public.
Now is the time to write or e-mail your legislator and ask for support to legalize consumer fireworks in Ohio. With full legalization in Kentucky, Maine and Michigan, there are now only four states in the entire country that outlaw all types of consumer fireworks. Take Ohio out of the consumer fireworks dark ages and into the 21st century.
Please, enjoy the Independence Day holiday with your family and celebrate safely.
(Weimer is the vice president of Youngstown-based Phantom Fireworks.)

Anybody have a copy of the rules of Chainstore? It looks like Monopoly-based game.

I find it fun trying to survive in a griefed environment in Minecraft, but it is tedious to create a new map, build lots of large buildings, half-tear them down, and then build thousands of tall towers out of random materials. Is there a world generator that can create griefed maps like this automatically?
No, there is no known map generator that will create a griefed style map. It's not impossible, but would require a very large effort to create the generator.
I would suggest going to the Minecraft forums and making a Request in the modding section. When you make your post, try to write out possible specifics for the generator.
Hopefully a modder will come along who's interested in helping. Things can then move forward from there. If there's no response there, try over at the Bukkit forums.
Hope this helps.
Perhaps taking a lot of premade maps and let people come onto your server in perhaps using the Nodus IRC, I had setup a Griefing server and bunch of people came and of course, griefed it all! Was pretty fun and some people donated for WE.

What sort of formula should I look for for a very new newborn that doesn't promote constipation?
Honesty, Enfamil has been highly recommended to us by a few doctors as having the closest to breast milk nutrition. They have several different types, we personally use the Infant AR formula with Dr Brown's bottle line. You can sign up with them and they will send you a pack of coupons for $4 off a package.
http://www.enfamil.com Check this version out: http://www.viewpoints.com/Enfamil-Gentlease-Infant-Formula-reviews
On another note.. lets say the formula isn't the issue and your baby is just having a rough time and you want to help them out.. I massage my baby's belly to help her.. I also lay her on my chest with her on her back and I stretch out so she is arched.. It seems to really help her relieve herself. Here is some good resources that may help you help your baby :)
My Massage, I roll my fingers on her belly like I'm doing the wave on her lower abdomen, then I press down a little firmly when she starts pushing to help "squeeze" it out. I have stomach issues myself so I try thinking what I do when I am having issues and I apply same principle to her but in smaller scale.
I also mover her legs like she is riding a bike, or I put my hands on the bottom of her feet and let her push on them really hard. I stretch her legs out and push them back in and up so it kinda rolls her in a ball. In my head I invision that I am trying to "reform" the poop to a smaller or longer shape that will allow it to exit easier.
Helping her poop when she is having issues is one of my responsibilities and I think I do it pretty good :)
Massage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vseuKsNGmXs
http://www.liddlekidz.com/massage-for-constipation.html http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/constip.htm
I can't answer your question specifically, but I would disregard any advice that tells you to choose a low-iron formula. I found a blog post that includes links to some studies. The idea is that iron supplementation is constipating, and it may be, but infants need iron to avoid anemia. Iron from supplements is not absorbed as well by the body as it is from whole foods, so excess unabsorbed iron is eliminated as waste. The baby needs that iron, however, so they need whatever their body can absorb.
My pediatrician has recommended a teaspoon of prune juice to a bottle when we've dealt with possible constipation.
Despite what manufacturers would have you believe, most/all formula is essentially the same. At least here in the US, all baby formula must meet a certain set of criteria involving the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals found in the formula.
Having said that, constipation is a very individual thing. Different babies will respond to different formulas differently, and you kind of won't know until you try them how your child will respond. If your child came home from the hospital supplemented with a certain type of formula and seems to be doing well on it, then I wouldn't mess with a good thing.
If, however, this formula seems to be causing the constipation then all you can do is start trying other formulas. There are certain brands that claim to further process their proteins which aids in digestion which might be a better option. Be aware, though, that this trial-and-error process is time consuming and expensive. You have to give your child a couple of weeks on a new formula to know if it's having the desired results or not. This means that you might buy several brands before you find one that's working and it might take a couple of months to straighten it out. In the mean time, the constipation might get worse before it gets better.
It might be better for you to find other ways of dealing with the constipation unless it's severe and/or you are absolutely certain it is the formula causing the constipation. It's important to remember that there is a difference between your child being constipated and your child just not having many bowel movements. Constipation occurs when your child's stool is hard and dense making them difficult and painful to pass. If your child is having normal, soft bowel movements, but they are infrequent then there isn't really anything wrong. Some kids only have BMs every couple of days. If you're sure your child is really constipated, then this website offers some good suggestions on how to help your infant including some diluted fruit juice, tummy massage, bicycle legs, and a warm bath. It might be good to have those options in your back pocket until you get the formula thing straightened out!

"The whole time I'm thinking how am I going to tell my babies that their daddy is not coming home." -Ginger Grier
Dating back to 1976 there have been 130 murders in Dothan.
110 of those are solved and closed.
20 are still open and have gone cold.
For those of you who have lived in Dothan for many years you may be familiar with different homicides that happen around town.
For most of them, in the beginning we tell you what police say happened and then we tell you they've caught the bad guy.
Here's a cold case police have tried to solve for 5 years.
Even though there's surveillance video of the entire robbery and shooting, the suspects are still on the run.
It's a scene almost too hard to watch.
"To see him there in his last minutes, it was terrifying," said Perry Griffin's widow Ginger Grier.
It was early morning hours on June 26, 2007 when 37-year-old Perry Griffin was attacked outside his job at Panhandle Converters.
"Two men dressed in all black came out of the woods and attempted to rob Mr. Griffin during that time there was a struggle over the shotgun one of the suspects had. The shotgun was fired and struck Mr. Griffin," said Dothan Police Corporal Chris Barberree.
He was hit one time in the abdomen.
Ginger Grier, Giffin's widow says she remembers that morning like it was yesterday.
"He left really early that morning and he kissed me on the cheek and he said ok babe I'm gone have the kids call me before you drop them off."
Her call was never answered.
Investigators say the odds of the suspects having perfect timing wasn't by accident.
"I feel that the person knew his routine and had knowledge of where he would be that morning," said Cpl. Barberree.
So that lead them to began questioning the closest people first.
"We interviewed all employees friends, anybody that could possibly have information."
For ginger the questions ran deep.
"The whole time I'm thinking how am I going to tell my babies that their daddy is not coming home."
Ginger says it's hard to not get angry, knowing the pain her kids have to live with.
"It's hard for them mostly because when you're little and you do something wrong you get punished and here somebody has done the most horrific thing anybody can do and they seemingly have gotten away."
Ginger says she'd love to have closure for her kids and she has a message for his killers.
"I would love to be able to tell them that I forgive you i have no ill will towards you at all just change your life and don't hurt anybody else," explained Grier.
Ginger says about two years after Griffin died, she was going through some papers and she found three letters he had written to each kid before they went on an anniversary trip.
She says in the letters he wrote about how much he loved them and what he wanted them to know just incase anything happened, while they were away.
Ginger says she will give those letters to the kids when they're a little older.
Police say the shooters got away with an disclosed amount of money.
If you have any information on perry griffin's murder please call Crimestoppers at 334-793-7000 or you can text-a-tip to 2-7-4-6-3-7
You could be eligible for a substantial reward.

Palladino: Top seeds advance
Who said a blizzard could stop the Naugatuck Valley League girls basketball tournament? OK, maybe things were delayed a touch, but the Valley girls played four games at Holy Cross on Monday to get the postseason off to a rousing start.
The NVL tourney was such a hot ticket Monday that even an Oxford High School basketball coach was in the gym. Hmmm, now what might that portend?
If you are going to win a championship in this league, now is the time for the stars to shine, and that's what we saw Monday.
Here's a look at how they got there:
Holy Cross 54, St. Paul 40: Keira O'Donnell connected for five 3-point hoops and 26 points to lead Holy Cross past St. Paul in the first game of the NVL girls basketball tournament at Holy Cross.
O'Donnell added six rebounds and five steals for Cross (14-7), while Chelsea Houlihan added 11 points, and Amy Stafford eight points and five steals.
Theresa Swanke led St. Paul (11-10) with 15 points and 10 rebounds.
The Crusaders played outstanding defense in the second half, holding the Falcons to just 16 points, and causing 20 turnovers for the game.
As O'Donnell said of the Crusaders, who lost to the Falcons earlier this season, "A lot of us are finally comfortable with the new roles we've had to take on this season."
Ansonia 43, Kennedy 34: Melissa Tirella's 26 points, and the rebounding of Grace Keener and Quanisha Finney, powered the Chargers (15-6) into the NVL semis.
Keener had 12 boards and Finney 14, and that barely offset a huge game for Kennedy's D.J. Alberto, with seven points and 18 boards.
Behind Jennifer Marrone's 12 points, the Eagles (13-8) stayed close into the third quarter, but Tirella took charge of the game by driving through the Kennedy defense. Tierney Lawlor added 10 for Ansonia.
"We have a really good chance to go far in this tournament and far in the states," Lawlor said. "We just have to play hard."
Watertown 58, Watertown 32: Meg Perrin scored on the inside, and Jamie Zoldy on the outside, as the No. 1 seeded Indians topped Crosby in the NVL girls quarters.
Watertown (20-1) moved into the semis to play Ansonia tonight at Kennedy High in game two, starting at 7 p.m.
Perrin scored 16 with six rebounds, while Zoldy scored 15, with five assists and three steals.
"It gives us a little fire to do well," said Zoldy on the team's top-seeding. "Our next game is a tough one. We have Ansonia, and are playing them for third time. That's always difficult playing a team more than two times. We know each other so well. It will be a gritty game."
Za'Nayia Love led Crosby (10-11) with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
Torrington 61, Woodland 39: The Raiders broke out to an early lead and cruised in game two of the NVL girls quarterfinals.
The Raiders move into the semis today at Kennedy High, and play Holy Cross in game one, at 5 p.m.

I wrote a program to visualize binary expansions of fractions in the form of a grid. Each row is one fraction; for instance the third row is 1/3 = 0.010101... The digits are color-coded, gray for 1 and blue for 0.
When I made a big version of the grid (below) with many more fractions and one pixel per digit, I was surprised at how many patterns I saw. It's not shocking that there are prominent horizontal stripes around powers of 2, but there are also diagonal "stripes" and near-vertical structures. I can even convince myself there are various thick horizontal bands with different proportions of ones and zeros.
This feels like a pretty natural construction, so it must have been done before. Regardless, I'd be interested in any pointers or explanations of the stripes I'm seeing.

ST.?CLAIRSVILLE - Dozens of former constituents, neighbors and friends of Bob Ney greeted the self-described "lawmaker turned lawbreaker" as he signed copies of a new book that tells the story of his political career that ended in disgrace.
Ney wrote "Sideswiped: Lessons Learned Courtesy of the Hit Men of Capitol Hill" after serving time in prison for his conviction on corruption charges related to the scandal surrounding lobbyist Jack Abramoff. The Republican was representing Ohio's 18th District in Congress in November 2006 when he was found guilty on federal charges of corruption and falsification of federal documents. Ney was sentenced to 30 months in prison, becoming the only elected official to go to jail because of corrupt dealings with Abramoff.
"Jack and I went away, but nothing much has changed," Ney said of the political climate in Washington, D.C., on Thursday while autographing copies of the book at Undo's West in St. Clairsville during an event sponsored by Words and Music Bookstore.

BELLAIRE NATIVE and former U.S.?Congressman Bob Ney returned to the Ohio Valley for a book signing event.
Ney said as a former lawmaker, he was shocked to find that the prison system does so little to rehabilitate inmates. He said most legislators are "oblivious" to how the corrections system works and termed it more of a "warehouse" than a venue for rehabilitation.
Ney said he wrote "Sideswiped" because he wanted to tell a story, adding he does not expect to get rich from sales of the book. He noted, though, that he understands that he left the people of East Ohio feeling embarrassed and disappointed by his conduct and offers an apology within the book's pages.
The book offers a look at Ney's path to sobriety and overcoming addiction using the 12-Step method.
Readers also can expect an insider's view of such figures as George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, Karl Rove, Pope John Paul II, John Travolta and Mother Theresa, as well as Ney's experience with topics including Afghanistan, Iran and campaign finance reform.
Ney today lives in Newark, Ohio, and spends his time writing and helping others with recovery from addiction. He became a talk radio host and analyst following his release from prison.
As people gathered at Undo's Thursday, chatting with one another and sharing handshakes, hugs and kisses with Ney, he said he was very pleased with the turnout for the event.
"I've been treated better than I deserve," he said.
But many of those on hand disagreed. While they acknowledged Ney's criminal past, they said he served the region well while in office - as part of both the state and federal governments.
"He is the most responsive elected official I've worked with in my 30 years" in public service, said Larry Merry, director of the Belmont County Port Authority.
Ney suggested that others can learn from his mistakes.
"No matter what you do in life, you are going to run into bad situations ... ," he said. "If it feels wrong to you, don't do it. Try to stay on the right path."
Copies of the book are available at Words and Music Bookstore at Stratford Springs, Wheeling.

1993 Ford Mustang Notchback - Shift of PowerWritten by on November 2, 2009 In Order To Transfer The Weight And Put The Power Down, We Install A Tubular Front Suspension From AJE On Project Fox.
When it comes to extracting ridiculous power out of a big-block, it's so easy a Wall Street CEO could do it. Nevertheless, that easy grunt comes with the penalty of extra mass, which makes transferring all that power and weight to the rear tires even more difficult. The trick is to offset the increased heft over the front tires with lightweight suspension components, and to optimize the spring rates to facilitate quick and efficient weight transfer. By installing a complete tubular front suspension system from Anthony Jones Engineering on Project Fox, our goal is to accomplish just that.
For those coming late to the party, the goal with our '93 Mustang project car is to run 9s in street-legal trim on a budget of $25,000. To prevent Project Fox's 775hp big-block Ford from pulverizing its 275/60R15 drag radials, we installed a complete Competition Engineering rear suspension system last month. That said, planting the rear meats is impossible unless the front suspension pulls (or shifts) its own weight, so on this go-around, we'll be installing an AJE tubular K-member and lower control arms, coilovers, and adjustable camber/caster plates. Further assisting with shifting the power rearward are Strange single-adjustable shocks, and a lightweight Unisteer manual steering rack. Together, these components will help shed nearly 100 pounds off the nose of the car. That's definitely a good thing, since we estimate that our aluminum-headed 532 big-block weighs roughly 150 pounds more than the stock iron-headed 302 small-block.
Transferring weight, however, is just the first part of a front suspension's multiple roles. As soon as the car leaves the gate, the front underpinnings are also responsible for directing man and machine in as straight of a path as possible. Light steering feel and side-to-side wandering are the bane of a well-handling drag car, but fortunately AJE's suspension features a wide range of alignment adjustments to dial out any potential drama. Showing us how to set it all up once again are the generous folks at Bill Buck Race Cars in Austin, Texas. Since Project Fox's stock motor and trans had been pulled long ago, the entire aftermarket suspension bolted right up in half an afternoon.

Drag vs. Street Caster
Caster is simply the angle of the front spindle when viewed from the side of the car, and straight-line machines and corner carvers call for vastly different caster settings. A spindle that tilts rearward has positive caster, while a spindle that tilts forward has negative caster. Since light steering and wandering is a consequence of negative caster, almost all production cars have a few degrees of positive caster built-in from the factory. Where road cars and drag cars differ is in the amount of positive caster that's desirable. "The greater the positive caster, the better the car's straight-line stability and the more effort it requires to move the steering wheel," Bill Buck says. "These aren't necessarily bad things in a drag car, so I like to set caster at 5 to 7 degrees in straight-line applications, however, heavy steering effort isn't ideal for a street or road race car, and the wheel can have a tendency to jolt when you hit a bump with too much positive caster. Consequently, you want to limit positive caster to about 2 degrees in these types of applications, which makes the car feel more agile while still providing enough straight-line stability."
-Stephen Kim
Drag Springs
Regardless of how fancy a rear suspension setup may be, without the correct front spring rate it will never put the power down. Bill Buck says the ideal front spring rate for a drag car is just enough to hold the front end up in the air. From there, it's up to the shocks to fine-tune the rate of weight transfer. Furthermore, choosing the correct front rate is far more important than choosing the correct rear rate. "The lighter the front spring, the more weight it will transfer rearward when you hit the gas. Since springs with lower rates squish down more when loaded than stiff springs, they store more potential energy," he explains. "You can use stiffer springs to prevent the suspension from bottoming out, but that can hurt weight transfer, so I prefer using softer springs and travel limiters. If a car transfers too much weight and does violent wheelstands, then it might be necessary to use stiffer springs. If Project Fox was a track-only car, it could get away with 170 lb/in springs, but since it will see some street time a 200 lb/in spring is a better compromise. AJE's coilover conversion relocates the spring right on top of the ball joints. That means that the spring rates and wheel rates are very similar, which allows running a relatively soft spring."

The difference in header and oil pan clearance between the stock and AJE K-member is substantial, as it frees up an additional 2.5 inches of space in the A-arm section alone. AJE's K-member is built from mild steel, and weighs 34 pounds less than the stocker. One of its most unique features is its modular motor-mount design, which means that anything from big- and small-block Fords, to big- and small-block Chevys, to LS1s and mod motors can be positioned perfectly in the Fox engine bay by simply swapping out the motor mounts. The mounts are available from AJE, and the company also offers suspension components for third- and fourth-gen Camaros, Mopars, and '05-and-up Mustangs.Although the stock control arms can be reused, we opted for AJE's tubular units in order to drop an extra 16 pounds of mass. The lower ball joints are attached to a separate mounting plate, which enables camber and caster adjustments by pushing it inward or outward. The polyurethane bushings reduce deflection over the stock rubber pieces. As with the K-member, the control arms are powdercoated black from AJE for good looks and corrosion resistance.AJE's billet sleeves slip over just about any aftermarket shock to transform it into a coilover. The springs are offered in a variety of rates ranging from 150 to 225 lb/in. Factoring in the additional weight of the big-block, we went with 200 lb/in springs. The billet camber/caster plates are essential for dialing in the alignment settings for maximum straight-line stability.Granted, double-adjustable shocks would add some wow factor, but Buck says they're overkill for a 9-second street car. He prefers the tuning simplicity of a single-adjustable shock, and notes that plenty of cars run single-digit e.t.'s with old-school 90/10 shocks. These units from Strange feature rugged steel construction and 10 rebound settings. At just $119 each, they're a fraction of the price compared to double-adjustable shocks.Since the 17-year-old stock steering assembly was on its last leg, we used it as a good excuse to install a lighter manual rack. This $430 Unisteer conversion kit includes the rack, steering shaft, and urethane bushings. Installing these components and removing the power steering pump drops another 35 pounds off the front end.Bumpsteer is just as undesirable in a drag car as in a road race machine, so we ordered up a set of adjusters from Competition Engineering. They're built from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, and allow minimizing changes in toe as the suspension moves through its range of travel.Drag cars are notorious for bending camber plates due to the abuse they endure after landing from a wheelie. To solve this problem, AJE's plates mount to the underside of the shock tower instead of the top. In order to dial in maximum positive caster, Buck enlarged the shock tower opening with a grinder to angle the top of the spring/shock assembly as far back as possible. Adjusting camber and caster is as easy as loosening up two Allen bolts, and sliding the shock to the desired location.After assembling the coilovers, they were bolted to the camber plates prior to installing the K-member. This requires long arms or a helper since the shock piston must be slid into the camber plate from the bottom, and cinched down from the top.
Before hitting the bolts with an impact wrench, Buck cinched them down finger tight to allow squaring the K-member to the frame-rails. Fortunately, the process is hard to mess up. Buck suggests wiggling the K-member around until the mounting tabs are parallel to the car's framerails.The AJE K-member is shipped with the control arms already attached to it, but they must be torqued by hand for the final install. Buck says the lock nuts should be tightened until all the slack is removed, but the control arm should still move up and down freely with minimal effort.With the ball joint attached to a separate mounting plate, it can be moved inward and outward to adjust camber by removing the four retaining bolts. Unlike a road race car, since a drag application requires very little negative camber, Buck set the retaining plate on the middle setting. Final camber will be dialed-in using the camber/caster plates.The Unisteer manual rack attaches to the K-member using two bolts supplied with the kit. Before attaching the steering shaft, it's very important to make sure that the steering wheel is centered.With tubbed cars running very large rear tires, Buck says that lowering the front end with drop spindles is a good way to reduce aerodynamic drag without adversely affecting handling. However, since Project Fox is set up for small 10-inch-wide tires, we reused the stock spindles to keep things simple and minimize costs. After sliding them on the ball joints, Buck torqued down the castle nuts and attached the spindles to the coilover assemblies.The final links in the front suspension install are the tie rods, to which Buck attached the Competition Engineering bumpsteer kit. Since the lower control arms and tie rods travel in different arcs, the tires tend to toe-in when compressed, and toe out during wheelies. Not only does this compromise handling, the friction of the tires scrubbing on the pavement can actually slow the car down. Bumpsteer adjusters allow the Heim joints on the tie rods to be moved inward and outward by simply turning a wrench. This enables the tie rods and lower control arms to move as close to parallel as possible to minimize the effects of bumpsteer.Our Mustang came equipped with wimpy four-lug hubs from the factory. There are several ways to convert to a five-lug arrangement, but the cheapest method is with a set of stock replacement rotors off of a mid-'80s Lincoln Continental. Rock Auto set us up with a pair of fresh rotors for $36 a pop, which was far cheaper than at the local parts store.Unisteer's manual steering rack kit includes a steering shaft with rugged universal joints. It attaches to the stock Ford steering column, which features an integrated slider intended to absorb shock in a frontal impact. Buck says that it's a great safety feature, so he left it in place. Since the slider retracts into the firewall after the stock steering shaft is removed, it must be pulled out before bolting it to the Unisteer piece.With the tubular suspension bolted into place, the additional real estate it opens up is quite evident, which will help tremendously when shoehorning the big-block into place. AJE also offers K-members in a drop-rack configuration for additional oil pan clearance, but we skipped on that option as our 532's Moroso pan was designed specifically for big-block swaps. Compared to stock, the lightweight components shave roughly 100 pounds off the front end.
