Suggestions for disassembly of stepdown convertible top frame assembly requested
I've started working on the top for my 51 pacemaker convertible. It needs everything. I would like to try to get it done so I can drive it to San Mateo in July. Right now I am trying to disassemble the side arms of the frame that supports the cloth top. I have been using a propane torch, wd-40, lots of tapping, and lots of patience. Also I have been spraying wd-40 on a lot of the screws and pivot points, off and on, for the last 12 years or so. I have gotten all of the pivot points working. For the last few days I've been working on the screws that hold the aluminum parts of the side arms to the sheet metal brackets. Some of these screws are underneath a stainless piece. The stainless piece holds the rubber seal that goes between the side windows and the top. I have gotten the stainless piece unscrewed from the aluminum side arm. This has revealed some slot head screws that hold the sheet metal bracket to the aluminum side arm. These slot head screws are being very stubborn so far. They look quite rusted on the tops and the area surrounding them. They do still have slots in them that I have been able to put a fair amount of twisting force on without destroying the slots or breaking the heads off. Also if you notice in the last photo, their is a piece broken off of the aluminum arm. Have you guys got some suggestions? Any ideas are sure appreciated. Thanks. Rob
Try some of that freeze mist on the screws. They shrink away from the surounding metal and come loose,
RogerRetired Tech. -
I've had much better luck with PB Blaster than WD40 for freeing up stuff. Other possibilities are Liquid Wrench and Kroil (www dot kanolabs dot com), and supposedly the best stuff of all is a 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fluid and acetone.
I haven't heard of the freeze mist, but sounds intriguing.
As far as getting it to San Mateo, I thought the canvas "art deco" top you had at Spokane was just excellent! Kind of gave an "old west" feel to the whole thing. . . -
There was a recent post about penetrant comparisons. Does anyone have that link? I would like a copy. ATF/Acetone was way ahead of the others in that article but I don't recall how much better.
Lee O'Dell -
Well, after I started this discussion I went back out to the shop and heated the screws about 3 more times on top and bottom and tapped and twisted with the screwdriver and I hear a faint creaking sound on one of them. I then tried my hammer impact twist screwdriver,(whatever you call the thing) and surprisingly they started to break loose. I had tried the impact screwdriver yesterday and none would budge. Within an hour or so after I went out to the shop I had all of the screws out. I would say they took 10 to 15 heat cycles with tapping and twisting with every cycle. I started sometime yesterday morning and got them loose this afternoon. I'd say took 2 hours of actual work. Hopefully I can keep my patience going and get the other apart too!
So you liked my art deco top eh Mike...lol. It was fun talking to you at the meet. Lou Cote said I had the paul bunyan thing going with my cubic foot block of wood to put the car on when I jacked it up..lol. I did use it too!
I'm going to mix up some ATF/Acetone and start trying that. I'll let you know how it goes. Im feeling really encouraged right now since I got those screws loose. We'll see how long that lasts...lol. Thanks for the suggestions. Please keep them coming. Rob -
I sugested the freeze mist due to the dissimmilar metals he is dealing with. Steel csrew in allumium will have oxidzed deep in side an is not going to move. I agree all the above liqids are great ,I myself have good luck with ATF . But they all have there place,
RogerRetired Tech. -
Are you sure those parts are aluminum? I had one welded at NASA by a friend that worked there. He said it was some sort of alloy casting. They heated it in an electric oven of some sort and welded it hot. They ground it back to shape , and when it was painted you could not tell it was repaired. This was back around 1971. I\m sure methods have evolved since.
That process is correct and nessasary for most types of cast metal if you are going to arc weld it . Iron , Alluminium ,etc to keep it from cracking during the operation or cooling,
RogerRetired Tech. -
Paul, yes I took quite a few pictures. I have been looking at them. Its kind of confusing to me all of the different layers that go into the cloth top and which layers go over or under which strips of metal. Hopefully the top guy will know how to do it. I have had the framework mounted on the car several times and have all of the joints articulating so I know pretty much how it goes together.
Lostmind, I'm glad you asked that question because I think you are exactly right. It doesn't really seem exactly like aluminum. It does seem kinda soft but not as soft as aluminum. When I manage to get some of the bolts out the threads in the hole don't look like aluminum to me. I kept thinking this doesnt really look like aluminum but with my limited knowledge of metals I just didn't know what else it could be. It sounds like it is very difficult to weld.
Roger where would a guy find the freeze mist you mention. It sounds like it could be quite helpful. Rob -
My brother uses it in his auto shop ,I'll get a hold of him and see what the name is,

Congratulations on getting the screws out! The screws in your pics that hold the rearmost stamped steel section to the very back casting: That is some steel-based or iron-based casting with steel screws, i.e., similar metals all three. Meaning, these screws will come out as you found out. Depends on how much time, patience and attention to detail you wish to put into it.
Further up the frame mechanism, you've got steel screws into cast aluminum. Depending on how much galvanic corrosion has occurred, it is most likely all of these screws will not come out, barring Roger's advice above, which I did not try.
I spent every day for two years soaking, heating, tapping, trying, pleading, praying to get my top mechanism apart. In the end, I got it all apart and about 85% of the screws out. A few screws had to be removed by laterally removing them, re-welding the castings and grinding back to shape. Others were, quite frankly, impossible to remove. Some were carefully drilled out, others were simply re-located as close as possible to the original mounting location. We also re-made one stamped steel section and cast 3 new parts. I'm still looking into the possibility of casting new handle-locking mechanisms, as the best pair I have are severely pitted. I've managed to repair one handle and am still trying to get the other one in shape.
We used aluminum rod to re-weld the "aluminum" castings. If they are some alloy, then the base material, or at least the largest percentage is aluminum, I believe.

RogerRetired Tech. -
Russel, thanks for all of your info. It sounds like you have really been through the wringer on your top. I have a feeling mine isn't near as bad as yours. I have gotten one of the side arm assemblies completely apart with every screw out. I did break one of the little screws that holds a little clip. The little clip is held on with two little screws that are about 3/8" apart. I think the little clip is used to hold the fastener that part of the cloth top snaps to. Now I need to find a way to weld the piece back on that is broken off of the one aluminum piece. I was doing a little online searching on how to weld cast aluminum. Most comments talked about how important cleanliness is. Some of the things they suggested were lots of scrubbing the parts in hot soapy water, baking the oil out by baking in an oven at 350 deg F for several hours, sandblasting the part, the only solvent to use is acetone. The other comment there was a lot is that it really depends on the properties of the cast aluminum you are trying to weld. Some is very hard if not impossible to weld and some isn't very hard to weld. Does this sound about right to you welder guys? I certainly don't intend to try it myself, I'll have it done.
Roger , thanks for finding out where the freeze mist can be obtained. I'll check with NAPA -
I've got a welder, but not the aluminum attachment, so I had to have another fella weld one of my pieces and he didn't do any of the things you listed, and it worked great.
I'm sure the piece of the casting that you mentioned is broken off has to be the top round "doughnut" that holds the middle bow (the one with the spring attached to it). Is that correct? If so, I don't know if you would want it as an option, but I have a pair of those castings, left and right, that Bill Albright had cast many years ago. They are not drilled or tapped, which is the way you got them from Bill, as he got them from the caster.
You CAN drill out that broken off screw, but extreme care and caution and attention to detail has to be done whenever you drill out a metal screw out of a softer surrounding metal (aluminum, in this case). Start with a very small drill bit and work your way up to the pilot size. Also, clamp the part to the drill press. Don't try to use a hand-held drill. The trouble is the drill bit wants to "walk" into the surrounding softer metal, and then you have a mess. -
You are exactly right Russell, the top round "doughnut" is broken off on both sides. I'm glad to hear that your guy was able to weld one of your pieces with no trouble. It sounds like the metal must be good quality that Hudson used. I also have those castings that Bill Albright sold to me. It looked to me like it would be so much work to get them ready to use that it would be better to have my broken ones welded. I feel that if I tried to get them ready myself I would probably ruin them. Unfortunately I already tried to drill out that broken off screw and made a mess of it just like you said. Fortunately it is that little one and I think I can make it work. Next time I will try to remember what you said and do it right. Thanks again for your input.

As an additional suggestion, aircraft maintenance constantly requires welders who have aluminum restoration skill sets. This includes identification of the type and hardness of the alloys being used so they can accomplish FAA acceptable repairs. I would hazard a GUESS that a certified aviation welder would not only identify the type of metal used in the Hudson top parts but know the recommended repair email@example.com -
I'm just thinking about this , if its out of sight could a steel plate with a ring attatched be fabricated . Then bolted to the old casting to duplicate the location of the broken ring? I know its not original but if its out of sight and strong enough - I wont tell ,
RogerRetired Tech. -
Roger, for years I have been thinking about doing the same thing you are suggesting and I do think it would work fine. Recently I found that on another severely rusted bow that I got from the owner of my convertible has the the broken rings that I have been missing. This means that I have both the pieces that fit perfectly together at the break. I'm thinking this should mean that a very good repair could be made by welding the two pieces back together. I have this same situation on both sides of the car. Last night I washed the parts in the picture for 2 cycles in the dishwasher and then baked them in the oven at 350 deg F for several hours. I think now I will sandblast them at the broken seam and then start looking for someone to weld them.
Oldfarmer, maybe I can find an aircraft welder to do the job.

A product that may be of help. Devcon Alum epoxy can be used to fill an alum hole oversize or otherwise damaged - can then be drilled and tapped - 1 lb putty at $47 so espensive, but if you can find a quality industrial product in a smaller size. How about using a soldering iron for heating smaller screws ? Just some untried ideas. Gert Kristiansen
Don't sandblast it- there is some danger of contaminating the soft metal with sand (or whatever media you use). Let the welder guy do the final prep- aluminum corrodes very rapidly, and has to have final cleanup just prior to welding.
I like the idea of finding an aircraft tech guy- because he HAS to know what he's doing, in order to be certified. Others may talk a better job than they do. -
As a thought, I use loctite 3805 steel epoxy glue for doing holes and re-tapping, it is also highly recommended for gluing in speedy seals for axles seals and that gets extreme heat
have also used it for repairing solid plaster work and drilled and screwed into it to hold on out side water taps that get wrenched on all the time

More suggestions on drilling out screws or bolts. If possible have the part disassembled where you can take it to the drill press - using an X Y table or best to use a milling machine where the table can be positioned exactly. Using a hand drill almost guarantees a sad ending.
Next buy three new items: a two flute end mill slightly smaller than hole, then drill with a center drill and finally buy and use a screw machine drill. There is a purpose for each.
The end mill is to give you a smooth flat surface, the center drill will not "walk" and the screw machine drill bit is short and stout. A tool supply store or internet order (Enco, for one) will do. Also use a cutting oil or kerosine , WD-40 to preservice the cutting edges if you plan on working several areas. Find an old grizzled retired machinist and bribe him - usually a 6 pack will do it and he will tell you more about machining than you want to know as he makes this
his life work to help you. Gert Kristiansen -
I dont want to forget to stress the importance of clamping the offending part so the work can proceed with vigor and verbal encouragement.
That top piece has been recasted at vintage coach About $60. Much better product strength wise, but will have to be drill and tapped.
You are better off fixing your old one. I also agree with Mike and Gert, above. Gert is a machinist by trade, and a good one. -
Thanks Gert for all of the great tips for drilling out broken of screws. I am looking forward to trying your them. Fortunately I have a small milling machine to try it on.
I also like the idea of using the aluminum filled epoxy to repair the hole I already buggered up. You guys are full of good ideas. Thanks again for your input to Russell.

Sorry, I will stop given recommendations
The fact the old one broke would tell you its not strong enough as originaly built

The fact the old one broke would tell you its not strong enough as originaly built
WHAT?? These parts are over 60+ years old and most likely designed to last around 10. I think we are way ahead of the curve, personally. I think it's a plus they were cast out of aluminum and not pot metal, because if that were the case, there wouldn't be ANY salvageable parts out there.
Sorry, Rog, have to disagree with you, there. -
OH thats fine , I cant tell from the photo real well how it broke anyway.
Roger ;;)Retired Tech. -
I posted some pics of the part after the "donut" was welded back on. The pics are next to the pics before it was welded. It turned out good.
Did you go with an aviation qualified firstname.lastname@example.com
No, I looked for one in the yellow pages but didn't find any. I just found the guy with the biggest yellow page ad and he was the only one that said TIG welding in his ad. When I called him on the phone he said "no I can't do it, welding cast aluminum is very difficult" We talked a little and he asked how big the parts were to be welded. He said he would at least take a look at it. When he saw it he said he would try it. After he welded it he said it went very well. I had made a metal plate that bolted to the big hole in the big part and a smaller hole that bolted onto the donut. I used a bunch of washers under the plate at the big hole end. This contraption held the donut firmly in place and parallel to the big hole area. He said he notched out where he welded and got good penetration. Rob

"Very well located and inexpensive"
Firstly, my first and last names were switched and misspelled, so they could not find reservation at first, but that was resolved by a phone call. Our room on the third floor faced the Captain Cook Hotel (which also owns this Rodeway) and there was a constant noise of shuttles and buses, so we were unable to open our window. With the window closed, […] it was quiet. The blankets (two) had old cigarette holes, and the room smelled of cigarettes in spite of the No Smoking policy. Staff were friendly and helpful, room was large, a huge plus, and featured a kitchenette that we didn't use, but could be an asset. Limited continental breakfast was a plus. Good coffee provided to make in room. Good, free wi-fi, a huge plus. Free shuttle to airport, but make sure you tell them over and over what time you need it and request it a half hour before you actually need it.

"Great Location, good value."
Staying at the hotel was a very good experience. After informing them about our arrival, my wife and I were promptly picked up from the airport by the shuttle. The reception gentleman was very courteous, friendly and helpful. The room was large, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. It had all the amenities with a large LCD TV, microwave, fridge, […] iron etc. I think there was no safe, though. The wifi was free and fast, and there were plenty of power outlets to charge our phones, camera battery, and laptop. As we were on the fourth floor, we had a good view outside, and could also see the sea in the distance, which looked very beautiful with the setting sun in the evening. The location was just perfect, being in the heart of downtown, and we could easily walk to any restaurant, or shop. We went on a 26 glacier cruise and the pick-up point of the bus was bang opposite our hotel! The breakfast was not lavish, but functional. There were vending machines on the floors. I really don't have any negative thing to say about the hotel. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Too warm -- in Alaska -- in the Winter"
Stayed for 4 nights in January 2013. I was there for business, and ordinarily I would rate this higher for a business hotel, although this is certainly a no frills spot. Pretty good location; very big room with kitchenette and bathroom with obviously new fixtures. Good work desk with free wifi, flat screen TV and couch that was a pullout bed. No one […] would mistake this for a new property,however. Walls, floors, etc obviously in need of upgrade; blankets had holes in it. continental breakfast was hard boiled eggs, white bread bagels, sweet rolls, instant cereal, juice from machine. Staff was friendly and attentive. BUT... there is a serious problem with the HVAC. Although there are thermostats in every room they appear to do nothing. First room was on the 4th floor. Therm set to 60, room was 80. Moved down to 2nd, and room hovered at 75; therm set to bottom (50). This was warmer than I like it, but at least bearable. Staff appeared not to know why this is, although they clearly knew it was the case. "The fourth floor tends to get a little warm". Very strange to have to open a window (20 degrees outside) to get the room cool enough to sleep in Alaska... in the winter. Might be Ok in another season, but I would never stay here again without knowing that the HVAC system had been replaced. Never seen anything like it. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Quiet, but hot"
I was worried about the location when I arrived in town...it was less than a block away from a newish bar that had been the location of a shooting the weekend before, and a couple of blocks from another bar that also had a shooting recently. However, I kept the booking, and was glad I did. The room was spacious with a large bed, couch, desk, flat screen […] TV, and kitchenette. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The hotel is within 2 blocks of a great running/biking path, and within walking distance of the Dena'ina convention center and downtown Anchorage. Guests have use (for a small fee) of the workout rooms/spa at the grand Cook hotel, directly across the street. On the downside: the fan in the bathroom sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. The room was very hot...I even opened the balcony door one night for a short period, even though it was November. I brought these concerns up to the staff, who seemed very receptive to fixing them (I asked that they not fix the fan while I was there, as I didn't want workers in the room during my stay). Overall though, the stay was very pleasant. I didn't hear any noises from my neighbors, either within the hotel or outside the hotel. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Thin walls"
Good stay, despite the noisy neighbors.........nice little soaps, shampoo, lotion, etc. Amenities rule.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Great choice in Anchorage"
We really enjoyed the space in both our room and the bathroom, they were a nice surprise after the cramped unit we had just left in vancouver. It was spotlessly clean. The hotel is conveniently located in the town area.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Would stay here again"
A great location across from the Captain Cook in the middle of downtown. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful and went out of their way. Airport shuttle that was efficient. Rooms pleasant and clean.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Clean and good value"
We were very happy with this accommodation. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful and the room was spacious and cleanUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Highly recommend"
I had a great stay at the Rodeway. I got in late due to a delayed flight and had no problems with check in. Staff are very friendly and helpful there, there's laundry facilities and my room was clean, large and spacious and had a little kitchenette. Location is excellent for walking around town too.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Economic PLace to Stay in Anchorage"
Hotel room size was great - bed + fold out with big flat screen and kitchenette. Bathtub with shower clean. Hotel is outdated and needs a good refurbishment. Smell of smoke at night even though it is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel. Don't know if that's leftover from the pre ban days. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Price was good.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Close to downtown"
Large clean rooms with microwave, fridge and sink. Limited breakfast options provided but other choices nearby. Non smoking but some hallways smell smoky.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Diamond in the Rough"
The cleanest and most comfortable room I've stayed for a long time. You cannot beat the location the price and people. Don't let the name and exterior fool you. This is the place to stay in downtown Anchorage.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Decent Enough"
The hotel was not a bad one. However, it was a little bit annoying that we were held to the letter of the law when it came to the 3pm check-in time, even though rooms were apparently available. Not to mention we were checking out at 4am the next day (missing breakfast), so would it have really hurt to give us our money's worth if it was possible? The […] other concern was that even though we were put in a non-smoking floor, both the room and the floor smelled of old smoke. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Hidden "Superb" Surprise"
Owners need to update the exterior of the building and finish the lower floor, it is misleading to the superb service you receive inside. I think that you need to remember "first impression for many is the last impression." The size and features of the rooms were superb!!! We were traveling with a group and were able to have room to meet, eat, discuss, […] and network. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Great for our one night stay"
Excellent room, good value, accommodating airport shuttle.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Convenient downtown location"
This hotel is one of several properties owned by Chenega Commercial Holdings, LLC - Alaska Native owned and operated. While not luxurious, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the location and price were great. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The Continenetal breakfast was quite limited, but adequate for a quick bite before heading […] out for the day. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
I read many reviews about hotels in the downtown area and was not sure what to expect. I hope my review will aleviate any doubts about your hotel. I checked-in Friday June 29,2012 , my reservation was in order, I was helped by a very friendly and attentive staff. I got my room right away and was pleasantly surprised by the size,cleanliness and comfort […] of my room. It was well furnished,bathroom was very clean and everything worked. In short, I would not hesitate to stay there again. Well worth it! Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told ABC's This Week he believes comprehensive immigration reform is "one of the biggest civil rights issues of our time."
During an interview Sunday, the 29-year-old billionaire said Congress must move forward with reform, including DREAM Act provisions, and correct a social injustice.
"When you meet these children who are really talented, and they've grown up in America and they really don't know any other country besides that, but they don't have the opportunities," Zuckerberg said. "It's really heartbreaking - right? That seems like it's one of the biggest civil rights issues of our time."
Zuckerberg and other Silicon Valley business leaders started the group FWD.us to push the government toward reform that includes more visas for highly skilled immigrants with advanced the degrees, especially in math and science. FWD.us supports the path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants and the DREAM Act, as well as improving border security.
Last week, Zuckerberg assembled a group of unauthorized immigrants for a "hackathon" that called on Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
He said in the ABC interview that too many Americans just don't understand why 11 million immigrants are living in the country illegally.
"A lot of them came here because they just want to work," he said "They want to help out their families and they want to contribute."

set one gets cranked up appropriately with a nice run away jim. they go onto really nail foam. sparkle keeps the energy up before really cranking into a fiery stash. trey digs deep on this one before bringing it home. i didn't know is good fun, and i've always liked cavern midset. reba and maze offer some really nice back to back exploration before a very standard bouncing. then you get a very nice landlady that finally delves into a nice murky bowie/catapult bowie. side note, many tapes of the stowe vt/'92 santana show have this bowie/catapult/bowie as a filler. it is usually marked as being part of the show, but it is not. anyway, trey and page are rock solid on this one.
set 2 is a whole lot of fun. trey wails on this brother. an early set yem blows up. gordon and fishman are very tight on this one. then they go onto bury fluff head. coil works out of fluff head. then they crank up a fun '92 tweezer. it is very tight and focused. good jamming. they make a nice little twist with a good version of uncle penn. fishmand does his thing in rosie before a rousing tweezer reprise shuts her down. great set with non stop fun and action.

All elite athletes train hard, possess great skills and stay mentally sharp during competition. But what separates a gold medalist from an equally dedicated athlete who comes in 10th place? A small structure deep in the brain may give winners an extra edge.
Image: Don Sutherland, U.S. Air Force, via commons.wikimedia.org
Recent studies indicate that the brain's insular cortex may help a sprinter drive his body forward just a little more efficiently than his competitors. This region may prepare a boxer to better fend off a punch his opponent is beginning to throw as well as assist a diver as she calculates her spinning body's position so she hits the water with barely a splash. The insula, as it is commonly called, may help a marksman retain a sharp focus on the bull's-eye as his finger pulls back on the trigger and help a basketball player at the free-throw line block out the distracting screams and arm-waving of fans seated behind the backboard.
The insula does all this by anticipating an athlete's future feelings, according to a new theory. Researchers at the OptiBrain Center, a consortium based at the University of California, San Diego, and the Naval Health Research Center, suggest that an athlete possesses a hyper-attuned insula that can generate strikingly accurate predictions of how the body will feel in the next moment. That model of the body's future condition instructs other brain areas to initiate actions that are more tailored to coming demands than those of also-rans and couch potatoes.
This heightened awareness could allow Olympians to activate their muscles more resourcefully to swim faster, run farther and leap higher than mere mortals. In experiments published in 2012, brain scans of elite athletes appeared to differ most dramatically from ordinary subjects in the functioning of their insulas. Emerging evidence now also suggests that this brain area can be trained using a meditation technique called mindfulness-good news for Olympians and weekend warriors alike.
Peak performance
Stripped of the cheering fans, the play-by-play commentary and all the trappings of wealth and fame, professional sports reduce to a simple concept: The athletes who enthrall us are experts at meeting specific physical goals. They execute corporeal feats smoothly, without wasting a single drop of sweat.
Such performance is a full-brain phenomenon. The motor cortex and memory systems, for example, encode years of practice. Nerve fibers become ensconced in extra layers of a protective sheath that speeds up communication between neurons, producing lightning-fast reflexes. Understanding the brain at its athletic best is the goal of psychiatrist Martin Paulus and his colleagues at the OptiBrain Center. They propose that the insula may serve as the critical hub that merges high-level cognition with a measure of the body's state, to insure proper functioning of the muscles and bones that throw javelins and land twirling dismounts from the high bar. "The key idea we're after is how somebody responds when they get a cue that predicts something bad will happen," Paulus says. "The folks that are performing more optimally are the ones who are able to use that anticipatory cue to adjust themselves and return to equilibrium."
A parade of snowstorms has been taking aim at the U.S. recently, increasing the chances for many to see a White Christmas.

First Glimpse
The 146,600-ton, 4,028-passenger Norwegian Getaway, the second vessel in NCL's Breakaway-class ships, will debut in January 2014. The ship, which will be based in Miami, is under construction at Meyer Werft's yard in Papenburg, Germany. Getaway will share much of its DNA with older sister, Norwegian Breakaway, which launched in April 2013.
Like Breakaway, Getaway will offer a slew of alternative dining options, including a seafood venue created by celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian; an array of cabin options including The Haven by Norwegian, a top-ship, 42-suite enclave; Studio cabins, the single occupancy accommodations that debuted on Norwegian Epic; and special cabins and suites positioned around the spa.
Other overlapping offerings include a fireworks display staged on every cruise; an Aqua Park with five water slides; an adults-only deck space that transforms into an al fresco club at night; a three-story sports complex with ropes course; and a pair of symbiotic spaces, The Waterfront, a quarter-mile-long outdoor "boardwalk" with eight al fresco dining venues and lounges, which connects to 678 Ocean Place, a stretched-out (instead of up), three-deck atrium running the length of the ship. 678 will house restaurants, bars, the casino and shops. For more info on these shared options, check out Cruise Critic's countdown to
Norwegian Breakaway
Both ships will also have hulls designed by artists. Breakaway's hull was designed by pop art icon Peter Max; for Getaway's hull art, NCL commissioned Miami artist David "LEBO" Le Batard. LEBO's vision (see above) features a mermaid, pelicans and colors inspired by the sun and ocean in Miami, where Getaway will be based.
Several distinctions have, however, been revealed. The Illusionarium is a special effects-laden magic show said by the line to be "inspired by the science fiction of Jules Verne, the artistry of magicians such as Houdini and the popularity of recent blockbusters featuring supernatural characters." Passengers at the show will find antique spell books, "interactive" artifacts and relics in a steampunk-inspired environment. Visual effects from a 30-foot-wide video dome overhead will anchor the performances. The Illusionarium will host 12 performances per cruise, two shows per night. Price hasn't been set yet, but we're told it will be similar to the dinner & show experience found on Norwegian Epic ($25 or $35, depending on seat location).
The GRAMMY Experience will feature artifacts chosen and curated by the GRAMMY Museum at L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles. In the evenings, the venue will feature live performances by past GRAMMY winners and nominees, among others." (Performers have not yet been confirmed yet.) The shows will be included in the cruise fare.
Norwegian Getaway will pay tribute to its Miami homeport with tropical artwork and a slew of South Florida inspired bars and eateries. Among them, the complimentary Tropical Room will channel the glamorous heyday of 1940s and 50s Miami Beach. Also onboard: Flamingo Bar and Grill (also free), a Latin-style restaurant; Sunset Bar, inspired by Ernest Hemingway's home in Key West; and Sugarcane Bar, an island-themed bar serving tiki bar favorites.

text: I don't think it's irrational. In the old system, you have the idea of perfection (6.0, or 10.0 in gymnastics) and the visceral thrill that the audience felt when perfection was achieved. In the CoP you just have numbers, numbers, and more numbers. I think those are existentially two utterly different systems... one is Platonic with its ideal of perfection, only skaters occasionally actually manage to reach the ideal -- how magnificent, how amazing! In the other there is (at least hypothetically) an infinite, ultimately pointless and hence dreary, increase in numerical points. "The eternal silence of these infinite spaces terrifies me."

I didn't see them, but these two made over $100 million at the box office.
And "Titanic" is one of the highest grossing films of all time. Doesn't make it good.
I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally.~W. C. Fields
Loved SATC as a series. But the first film was truly awful, and undid all of the good memories I have of the show. That the second film was worse, I'm glad I didn't plunk down my two bits to see it.
I hated both of these movies. I even snarked about The Last Airbender this past week. I am a huge fan of SATC but the 2nd move was absolutely awful. I completely agree with their "wins." The one shock to me was that the young boy in The Last Airbender wasn't nominated for Worst Actor. I think his name is Noah Ringer. The young girl WON Worst Supporting Actress but she was much better than he was and he wasn't even nominated.
