Thank heavens, a momentary distraction from a global market slide: Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi and Sen. Tony Avella — two men so renowned that they don't even need to use their first names anywhere in their joint press release — are taking off the gloves in their pitched battle against another menace to New Yorkers: raccoons!
Responding to complaints from city residents that officials don't do enough to control the nocturnal omnivore, the lawmakers are fighting back with legislation. According to the bill language, S.5865 would change New York City code to "require the Department of Health to ensure the prompt removal of any raccoon from any outdoor public or private property upon receiving a request for such removal from a member of the public."
That means the city Department of Health and Mental Hygiene would be obligated to remove — remove … with extreme prejudice — any raccoon reported by a city resident.
Yes, it's going to an exciting 2012 session. Here's their press release:
Today, Senator Avella stood with Assemblyman Hevesi and homeowners from throughout North and Eastern Queens to announce legislation (S.5865) that would obligate the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to remove raccoons reported by City residents.
The offices of Avella and Hevesi have been inundated with calls from residents who are furious at DOHMH's policy of only removing raccoons that are dead or show signs of being rabid.
Residents rallied in front an overgrown abandoned lot located at 164-11 45th Avenue, in Flushing, that has become a haven for a nest of raccoons. Homeowners in the area reported the location to DOHMH and were told that the raccoons are "part of nature" and that the agency cannot do much more about the ever increasing problem. This curt response feels like a slap in the face to residents of this block and throughout Queens who have been harassed by raccoon infestations and, in many cases, have experienced property damage from raccoons who clawed into their homes looking for food.
"As we see less and less wild areas in the City these animals have been forced to encroach on our residential neighborhoods," stated Avella. Unfortunately, residents throughout this City have no protection against raccoons that have become increasingly brazen and more accustomed to human contact. Residents with raccoon infestations are unable to let their children play in their backyards because the aggressive nature of the raccoons presents a clear danger to their young children and pets."
Assemblyman Hevesi stated, "It is outrageous that the Department of Health actively refuses to remove these dangerous animals that are living in a crowded, urban environment. It is also shameful that they have to be forced through legislation to protect residents in the outer boroughs. I thank Senator Avella for asking me to work with him on this legislation, and look forward to pursuing it in the upcoming session."
Avella concluded, "Currently, the City is reluctant to address the ever increasing population of raccoons in our neighborhoods and it is simply not acceptable anymore. This legislation will force DOHMH to take action to remove raccoons that have nested in residential areas and restore the quality of life for many homeowners."

De Palma's first film since the barely comprehensible Mission: Impossible opens confidently enough: a Scorsese-baiting 15-minute tracking shot shadows Nic Cage as he threads his way through the gathering chaos of the main event. He has a flutter on the fight, roughs up an `associate', expounds his ethical views to buddy Sinise (""If there's one thing I know, it's how to cover my ass...""), and takes calls from his wife, kid and girlfriend. The camera executes cute little swoops and scuttles, whip-pans and pull-backs, but the dialogue is flat and first-draftish. It's a warning of things to come. All surface, no feeling.
Cage is always watchable, but his plan here is apparently to blur together Face/Off's Castor Troy with Con Air's Cameron Poe, and, if in doubt, shout. He's also stuck with some ridiculous character logic, when, halfway through, Santoro suddenly flips the switch over from flawed and interesting good/bad guy to fine, upstanding man-of-unquestionable-honour Steven Seagal-type. You half-expect him to snatch a moment and call his AA counsellor, apologising for missing those sessions.
After the opening flourish, things soon settle down. Sinise is good, the splendid Carla Gugino turns up, and De Palma keeps his eye firmly on the audience-interest ball with teasing glimpses snipped from the chaos of the crowd: various clues and bluffs force you to become complicit and store everything away, hoping it'll all make sense later. After the assassination, Cage wakes up a little and there's at least the prospect of some motivational conflict (Santoro: ambition and craving for recognition; Dunne: careerist self-preservation).
But as the intrigue begins to unravel, everything takes a dizzying mass nose-dive: plot credibility, character development, suspense. The mystery turns out to be not all that much of a mystery, the villains are revealed in all of their cackling, megalomaniacal ludicrousness and De Palma even parodies his own technical virtuosity with some mostly confusing perspective fiddling.
A dwindling sense of urgency, little effective character interplay, ho-hum expositions and, most insultingly, one of the oldest fake-tension ruses in the book: villain dashes into lift... Good guy chases... Good guy gets there just as the lift doors are closing. Damn! Gotta take the stairs... What is this? An episode of The Equaliser? Why not simply press the button to re-open the doors?
Almost everybody in Snake Eyes behaves with unreconstructed horror-movie stupidity and, towards the end, Gugino is completely shut out of the action because the writers seem to have run out of things for her to do or say way before it's time for the hurricane to hit. Another major, perfectly likable character abruptly decides to cross over to the dark side - off-screen - with no prompting, or even the vaguest of attempts at explaining his motives in the script.
De Palma still has it (sure, he steals, but always improves on the original), but he hasn't found the right combination of idea, script, actors and execution since he made Carlito's Way - five years ago. As for Cage, City Of Angels implied that he was doing a Carrey: deliberately going against type to prove a versatility point. Now, he doesn't seem sure which way he wants to go. ""Don't try and make a hero out of me..."" says Santoro early on. ""It won't fit"."

It takes an long time to delve through ones own points and mind constructs, and is doing it in group gives more support, and you have multiple people to cross-reference with. There is not just 1 person who decides whats effective and what's not. Step by step you learn to work through the points you ingrained throughout your life. This takes time, and you may think you see it all, but you might not unless someone else points it out to you. The ego can be tricky, and some patterns have become so "normal'" that we might not even see it as a problem. That we think its just the way it is, no big deal, not harmful etc...
With doing this as a group, we grow the group of people who work together to truly stand for whats best for all and themselves. Because in time, we want to adress the system its politics, we want to infiltrate in the system and change it. Your not gonna do that on your own, wont work. You cant stand on your own against a group of elites that all stand together. So as we get more effective, we will also get more funds, being able to launch more projects and progress our plan.
if suddenly 100 people send you an email to ask for your help, you cant just copy paste a message to them and help all of them out. Even if you dont sleep and eat, you wont be able to do it. People will mail back, ask for asssitance, talk about problems they are facing, patterns that keep popping up etc... You could at least have described it here in your topic, what it is you would do.
And a lot of the material is FREE, totally, all online to be read by anyone and help themselves.
Your right. Everyone has their own things they need to accept within themselves in order to be in the moment withought looking at the past. Your welcome to "infiltrate the system and change it" But i guarantee that system is something you can't control. You can only accept it for what it is and be the awesome person that you are. Im not sure if you see it, but by trying to change the system you are becomming the system. And thats wierd that you say a hundred people, because after this i have had almost 100 people want me to share what i have with them. And yes its a slow process of talking to people and sleep is a great thing but it sure didn't take long for people to see what i had to say as open and positive, and the remarks like "bullshit" and putting down what people think are only shows that anger is just a way for people to cover what they hide. I do describe what i do. Just try to look at what i say as not an attack or pressure toards the great people here, but rather an open honest straight forward talking dude.

The cupcake craze has been waning for a while, and every new dessert (cronuts, anyone?) is called 'the new cupcake.' But Crumbs lasted far longer than many other bakeries that couldn't survive after the sweet cupcake bubble popped.
Crumbs is closing all 48 locations in 10 states, and their official statement was very dry:
Regrettably Crumbs has been forced to cease operations and is immediately attending to the dislocation of its devoted employees while it evaluates its limited remaining options.
Crumbs started as a mom and pop style bakery on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, but expanded to the largest chain in America with over 79 locations.
Here's a look back at some of their killer cupcakes.

We recommend that individuals with an EBV infection take Gene-Eden-VIR to reduce the danger posed by the latent Epstein Barr Virus. This natural antiviral was designed to help the immune system target the latent EBV. – Mike Evans, polyDNA
Rochester, NY (PRWEB) March 16, 2014
A study has found a strong link between the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and life-long infectious "mononucleosis-like" symptoms, such as fever and extreme fatigue. "Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is usually asymptomatic and persists lifelong…rarely, however, individuals without apparent immunodeficiency develop chronic EBV infection with persistent infectious mononucleosis-like symptoms (1)." polyDNA recommends Gene-Eden-VIR to help the immune system target the latent EBV. This natural product was clinically proven to reduce symptoms of an Epstein Barr Virus infection in a study that followed FDA guidelines.
Individuals with a chronic, long-term EBV infection "exhibit high EBV DNA load in the peripheral blood and systemic clonal expansion of EBV-infected T cells (a type of immune cell) or natural killer (NK) cells (another type of immune cell) (1)." This means that the standard blood test of these individuals will show a high concentration of EBV DNA. "Their prognosis is poor with life-threatening complications including hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (a blood disorder), organ failure, and malignant lymphomas (an aggressive type of cancer) (1)." In other words, those with a chronic infection can end up developing many different life-threatening diseases.
"EBV is transmitted via intimate contact with body secretions, primarily oropharyngeal secretions. EBV infects the B cells in the oropharyngeal epithelium. The organism may also be shed from the uterine cervix, implicating the role of genital transmission in some cases. On rare occasion, EBV is spread via blood transfusion." (See MedScape.com, last updated January 31, 2013) (2). EBV is normally spread through saliva, and can also be spread through sexual contact.
EBV is especially common among teenagers and young adults, especially college students. "It is one of the most common human viruses. EBV is found all over the world. Most people get infected with EBV at some point in their lives." (See the CDC, last updated January 6, 2014) (3).
"We recommend that individuals with an EBV infection take Gene-Eden-VIR to reduce the danger posed by the latent Epstein Barr Virus. This natural antiviral was designed to help the immune system target the latent EBV." – Mike Evans, polyDNA
A study published on August 12, 2013 in the peer reviewed, medical journal Pharmacology & Pharmacy, in a special edition on Advances in Antiviral Drugs, showed that Gene-Eden-VIR reduced EBV symptoms. Study authors wrote that, "Individuals infected with the Epstein Barr Virus…reported a safe decrease in their symptoms following treatment with Gene-Eden-VIR (4)."
The study authors also wrote that, "We observed a statistically significant decrease in the severity, duration, and frequency of symptoms (4)."

In addition to his unique scientific method, Dr. Polansky published the highly acclaimed scientific discovery, called Microcompetition with Foreign DNA. The discovery explains how foreign DNA fragments, and specifically, DNA of latent viruses, cause most major diseases.
polyDNA developed Gene-Eden-VIR, an antiviral natural remedy that helps the immune system kill latent viruses.

Summerfield has a new look! What do y'all think? It was sort of an impulsive decision that I made on Friday. I've had the thought in the back of my head for a while, but I decided to go ahead and make a change – it has been a year after all! Hopefully there will be more pretty changes for Summerfield in the near future. Any feedback is appreciated, as always :) Let me remind you that I am definitely not a computer/blogging expert despite the fact that I've had this blog for over a year. There are so many things I still don't know how to do. And I've had no help from anyone else… except for one of the computer technicians that works with my dad (he kindly helped me with the picture logo – it took him no time at all to do what I had been trying to figure out for days).
And now for a photo of the day.

not sure if this was posted.. I haven't been participating much this season.. been very busy. But I found this on the Knot while helping a friend set her site up.. Is this Bettina?? Looks like her..

GREAT find. I have not seen this before. Yes, that is Bettina.Originally Posted by hayleysmommy;2606142;
Well that's good that she didn't just jump into it!!Originally Posted by cape;2606146;
So from this we learn she has two sisters. Rebecca Bell and Alexa Bell. Oh and two brothers Emmet Bell and Adam Bell. How sweet! A big family!
Excellent find.Originally Posted by hayleysmommy;2606142;
She looks so different and aged. The guy looks like Chris H.
Wow, that IS definitely Bettina. I wouldn't say 8 months is a long engagement, though. Yes, she did put thought into the wedding. It isn't as if they ran off to Vegas.. interesting..Originally Posted by cape;2606146;
Still, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one. Who knows how long they dated before they got married? Marriage isn't right for every relationship. At least they recognized that before more time had passed and things got more complicated.
I've known more than one couple that got married because it was the 'logical' step and they were miserable. Got divorced and found the RIGHT one and were finally happy. Maybe that's what happened with Bettina and her ex? It could be a thousand different issues...
I am a total Bettina fan.. I really haven't been sleuthing much.. based on watching..she is getting a decent edit..not the divorced bad girl edit. The pic on the Knot is very pretty. I think she is quite attractive.
also.. I found a Knot site for Chad and his wife.. His wife Dillon is very pretty.

Actually, it's difficult to categorize the Blakely Bernardi. After Tim Moe sent us photos of his Blakely Baron last month, we read up on Blakely and his products. According to Georgano, Dick Blakely started to offer Lotus 7-style kit cars, called the Bantam, in 1972 in Love Park, Illinois, and in 1975 began offering a more civilized version called the Bearcat. Five years later, Art Herchenberger Herschberger bought the company, moved it to Princeton, Wisconsin, and restyled the Bearcat into the Bernardi, using the grilles from an Olds Cutlass, turned on their sides. We'll at least give Art credit for invoking the name of Enrico Bernardi, who in 1884 built a gasoline-powered tricycle for his son, technically beating Karl Benz to the punch by a year or so. Most other kit car manufacturers would have called it a Leopard or Egret or something like that.
The kits typically used Ford V-6 engines, Mazda rotaries and Pinto four-cylinders, according to Georgano, which also stated that Blakely offered the cars as complete vehicles at one point. The Bantam was eventually renamed the Hawk, and both models appeared to continue to 1987, when the company folded for unstated reasons.
Tuck Edwards sent us photos of his Bernardi after the Blakely Baron post, and we can see where the comparisons to both the Morgan and the MG TD come from. Tuck said his has the Pinto 2.3L four-cylinder, a four-speed and a removeable hardtop. He's looking for any brochures or literature on the Bernardi, and we'd both like to know roughly how many are out there.
That's a 75-80 Ford Granada hood ornament!
I own a Bernardi, hood ornament is a 75-80 Ford Granada , the grill is out of the Oldsmobile line, the tail lights are off a Honda CB750 4 (mid 70's I think) motor/ trans/ rear end are 74 pinto station wagon, interior is pinto as well as rack and pinion, front springs are cut 1 3/4 (I think, it may be 2ore) frame is custom to the vehicle made of 2″ x 2″ square tube stock
I own a Blakely Bernardi as well, registered in the late 1980s. To expand the list of engines in your original post, mine has a Ford Mustang 302 (5 liter) V-8 which fits comfortably in the Bernardi's generous engine bay. It's been modified with an after-market carburetor, and seems to have pretty much the legal minimum of muffler installed (a pair of cherry bombs), in part because there is very little unused space under the rear of the car. I think a smaller engine might suit the Bernardi a little better, as this car comes across a little more "Cobra" than "cool".
The suspension, particularly in the rear, is not well-enough engineered or built to be sporting. But the ride is comfortable and the car body has a solid feel to it that other fiberglass-body-on-frame cars don't always deliver. The interior is well-furnished without being fancy, and the cab is relatively spacious, with particularly deep foot-wells for leg room.
The great weakness of my car is a messy electrical system. The wiring harness was obviously pulled over whole from the donor, but it was then dropped into the wiring bay behind the engine without reorganizing it to suit the new uses. Debugging problems like intermittent gauges and lights is an ongoing project.
All in all, it's a delightful weekend car.
Does any one have the manuals for the Bernardi?
I have all the manuals and I also have a 1980 Bernadi with the 2.3 and automatic trans.
I have all the build manuals
I own a Bernardi, which has acquired many trophies at local shows. It is registered as a1970( titled from donor reg.) a very different kind of piece! It has very reliable, and when bought had less than 4C mi. ( now has 24C) after straightening the wiring, and replacing the carburetor . I LOVE THIS CAR! (as do all that wonder what it is!)! Please get back to me— I DOhave the original ads & instructions….
I have an assembly manual, Have never seen a owners manuan,Also hane a 1981 4cyl Bernardi

Thank you so much in advance
I have a 1984 Bernardi that took about 3 months to build. I still have the manual for it plus the newest one published shortly before BAW folded. I installed a modified 2.3 l engine. The car is well designed however there was a cold weld in the front strut that had broken shortly after it was licensed. It was a fun project even after 25+ years.
I have a 1981 Blakely Bernardi I got from Tony Assenza, of "Popular Mechanics" October 1981 article "Do-it-yourselfer's dream: The real fun of building a kit car is driving it when it's finished". It has the 2.3 Pinto engine with 4 speed manual. It needs a paint job, but runs great. It resides in Fort Lauderdale now but it was garaged in Manhattan, then driven to Los Angeles, California and then it resided in Palm Springs for 20 years, then drove it back to New York and then to Fort Lauderdale where it's been for the last 5 years. It is a great driver.
@Rowan Negrin
I have an electronic copy of that article, which was a pretty good promotional piece if you were looking for open-air motoring in 1981!
I wanted to mention that I have been experimenting with different ways of sprucing up the car's gel-coat (not paint) finish. It wasn't too bad when I got it, but became progressively more "milky" and spotty, possibly because I was washing in a wand-wash place with who knows what interesting chemicals being applied in the detergent and "wax" phases of the wash.
I got more serious about the finish this spring and tried several polish and wax compounds that work perfectly well on paint but did nothing for the gel-coat finish of the Blakely. A chance comment from another motorist led me to the "marine finishes" section of the local big-box store.
I tried out the Meguiar's "49 Marine / RV" Oxidation Remover product to buff out the milkiness, and the Meguiar's Premium Marine Wax to polish it. I applied the Oxidation Remover product with an 8″ rotating variable-speed polisher, and the Premium Marine Wax with a cloth as directed.
The results were excellent, and made all the more apparent by the contrast with areas I missed. Where the Oxidation Remover was properly applied (I'll be out again when the weather clears up to work on my "misses") the milkiness is completely gone. The "wax" is not a wax in the conventional sense, but some sort of penetrating liquid that does not need to be polished, just wiped off after it dries.
There were no swirl marks from using the power polisher, and it did make the job go quickly. But the 8″ disk was too large to fit everywhere on the Blakely's curved body, so on my next try I will use a smaller 6″ polisher and will hand-polish the trickiest areas.
I hope that information may be useful for you or others looking to buff up their cars a bit.
It's Spring… have you decided on prices and do you have any more info?
My dad built one in 1983, we still have it. Pinto engine and running gear. Fun little car, turns heads everywhere it goes. Solid body construction, especially after all these years, no rattles, just pure fun to drive.
The correct spelling is Herschberger. Art bought Blakely Auto Works from it's original owners in 1980. He moved it to Princeton WI and employed around 7 to 10 people until 1984, the company was involved in a copyright lawsuit over the Bernardi's design. Art and his brother limped the company along until late 86 – early 87 until it went bankrupt. The car's mechanical design was all done by Dennis Herschberger, Art's brother. It was he who designed the engine bay large enough to accept a V8, although his prefered powerplant was a turbo 4cyl. The Hawk was based on the Blakely Bantam but was it's own design, Dennis intended it to be track car in the spirit of a Lotus Super 7. Not many sold because of it"s lack of amenities. I know this info because it"s my families history.
Long shot and old thread, but worth a try. Are you aware of what happened to the fixtures and molds and engineering/fabrication information once the Princeton facility went under?
Any current sales prices for 1981 or 1982 Bernardi's
what kind of turbo and at what cost to add a turbo to a 2.3L 4 speed Bernardi?
Dan Herschberger, would you please give me a call here in Arizona.
We have a website dedicated to the history of the Blakely's and I am sure you can fill some of the gaps. I met your Dad in Columbus Ohio years ago and have owned several Blakely's since.
Caey Davis, 928-541-0999
I would like to know if there is there any Bearcats around for sale, I have a Bernardi now and it has been a fun car to drive, now plague with electrical problems it has been parked for a while
Carey Davis, I would like to know the web site address that deals with the history of the Blakely's
I have a 1980 Blakely Bearcat S. It has a 2.0 Litre Ford in it with a 4-speed tranny. Bought it a year ago from the original builder, Bob Bayless. I have restored it to its former magnificence and am enjoying it immensely. Would like to hear what is involved in putting a V6, or a V* in it from people who have actually done it.
San Diego, CA
I have a Blakley Bearcat with a small block chevy that runs a high lift cam and a blower. It has 500 hp.a 2002 ford posi rearend. It was on the hot rod power tour.
My other Blakley is a bertoni with a ford 4 cyl engine
am considering buying a 2.3 liter bearcat but only if a small block chevy or ford conversion is a reasonable venture. i'm concerned about handling with the added front end weight + the durability of the front & rear suspension components, particularily with 4 bolt pinto wheels. i'm also concerned about room for an overdrive automatic or manual transmission + a posi rear. thank you for any advise you can provide. ken
I bought a basket case Bernardi and am in need of some parts and info. Does anyone have a manual they would be willing to sell or copy and sell? I also need s pair of new front turn signal lenses. I haven't been able to find what was used or where to find them. Anyone know where I can get a pair?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
I'm not a Bernardi owner but I believe the front directionals are from the MG T series. Moss Mtrs has them.
I own a Bernardi. The turn signal lenses are brittle! I used a soft silicone to hold them in place. I previously owned a Gazelle kit, front engine 29 MB roadster–used the same lights. I still have parts, and build manual…I will try to identify for you. Do you know of any clubs? My info. tells me that cost was; $8450 + donor car +upgrades+ shipping + (owner const.time) 100 hrs.= around $19K ! But what is current value ? How many were actually made & sold? I had read or heard less than 400! (but how many less?) I know of only one other than mine (which is a class/show winner) in east-central NY. And the other one is in sad shape! To my knowledge, there are NO parts available! Drive carefully!!!!!
There were 164 Blakely Bernardis made. I have #80, #120 and #164.
I have a Blakely Bernardi and i would like to find out what number is mine. I've had mine for 27 years. Still runs great. Also looks fabulous. I would appreciate your knowledge. Thank you
The B.A.W. ID plate is on the firewall above the steering column ( or should be there). The beginning number is the year built. Mine was 81plc48???, can't remember the whole thing. If you look in the build book there is a page with the complete breakdown of your Blakely vin stating body and interior colors also.
I have #106. I am looking for a pair of grilles. I know they were from the Olds Cutlass, but I've seen a couple different designs on Bernardi's. What year/model grills will fit?
We own a bearcat being restored as my father in law was original owner. Know of any websites for parts and more info?
I just purchased a Bearcat with a 2.3 4cyl Pinto motor. Car was built in South Dakota and registered as a 1978 model. Car has 21 k on it. it has a Holley 4 barrel and a Header on it. Fun Car, especially in Georgia as there are many Winter, Spring & Fall days to enjoy.
I did get some Pedigree with the car, however would like to find a build manual for it. Also interested in finding a source for parts specific to my model.
Anybody know what tops fit the Bernardi.. A friend has one and it needs replacing. I was thinking a MGB or Midget.
I don't believe the Bernardi ragtop is from an MGB. I base this on the look of the Bernardi ragtop (photo at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blakely_Bernardi_02_A.jpg) and the different-looking MGB top (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1974_MGB_roadster_gunmetal.jpg). The MG's windshield is curved on top, the Bernardi's is completely straight. As well, the MGB has three bows (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1975_MG_B_convertible.jpg) where the Bernardi has only two, producing a smoother and more modern roofline. Similar observations seem to rule out the Midget as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MG-Midget.jpg).
The MG Magic business mentioned elsewhere in this discussion has replacement tops for MG-TD kits (scroll down on the page http://mgmagic.intuitwebsites.com/ to see a photo) but the pictured item does not look exactly like the Bernardi top in the photo. For example, a different number of snaps are visible between the rear of the door and the rear "corner" of the top. Perhaps a call to them to check dimensions of the roof might settle the question. Good luck!
I own what is registered as a 1970 (I suppose because of the donor Pinto). I traded a pristeen 1965 Dodge Dart GT for this piece, because I liked it, and assumed the trade was comparable. When I trailered it home, it had under 400 mi. on it. The previous owner was at least the second owner, and complained that it was very unreliable, plagued by electrical, and carbueration problems.I was able to isolate, and correct the problems. It has a 2.0 OHC 4 cyl.,4spd. I upraded the severely rusted spoked wheels, and had a professional custom made exhaust system. I dubbed it "Stuart Little", due to its similarity to the roadster he drove in the movie. Stuart, is a true joy to drive, and am pleased with the attention it gets both on the road or parked. it is VERY reliable, and I drive it as often as possible. I now have 2400 mi. logged! (virtually trouble free) It has won many trophies at area car shows, due to its rarity & beauty. It is in "good"condition. But, I have absolutely no clue as to its worth……. Anyone know?
i bought bernardi with 4 cl ford engine .but i need somehelp plz. where can i get some parts for it? i have no idea
Sam- The drive train for the Bernardi was from a Ford Pinto or sister car Mercury Bobcat. The car could be built with a donor car and the kit. I can answer general questions about the cars. I owned one for a couple of years about 8 years ago. I purchased it from a man in Columbus, Ohio. He was a Ford factory rep. He also included a large pile of trophys and awards which I still have. The largest trophy I have is one I won in a car show in 2003. It was at the Ford Wixom plant where I worked.
My dad and I attempted to start a Bernardi dealership here in Detroit in about 1981. We had everything set up including 3 kits financed when my dad decided it wasn"t worth the liability risk. We were operating on a shoestring and he was probably right.
Let me know if I can help.
I worked with Blakely up until he passed away in the 90's.I do have some info but not exactly sure what.
Do you have an assembly manual for the Bernardi/ i bought a basket case and am restoring it.
Dick – in case you are still looking for the assembly manual, I just purchased a Bernardi and the manual is intact – a bit worn, and there are two pages missing, but everything else is there. Can get it to you for the cost of copying and postage. In NE Ohio if you are close.
I need to know what door handles and latch mechanisms were used on a 1983 Bernardi.
I bought a Bernardi kit in July 1988 from Art and I believe it was the last one or at least one of the last. I finished it 6 months later. I am interested in finding out the source of as many parts as possible and I am interested in buying another completed Bernardi. An info would be helpful. Thanks
Archie Sparks,
I own a mostly finished Bernardi. Bought in 1984 but has not been inspected and titled. It is silver with blue interior. The hardtop has not been finished and the windows are not in. I have the original manual with what was done written in. Have extra parts. The frame was repainted with emron before the assembly was started.
I bought a sad basket case. It has been quite a project but it is coming together. One item I'm still trying to source is the front turn signal lenses. Mine are crazed and cracked. I am also looking for a copy of the assembly manual. Would you be interested in selling me a copy? There should be no copyright issues at this point.
I think I still have the electronic copy of my manual. If interested, let me know.
Yes please. Can you e-mail it to me at email@example.com?
Thank you
The manual was emailed this afternoon, in 5 parts due to size restrictions from your provider. If it did not all get to you, let me know and we'll find another way. Enjoy.
Hi Dave,
It didn't make it to me. Let's try another e-mail I have of firstname.lastname@example.com
I will send it tomorrow from my office. I don't have it stored on this computer yet. It did transmit successfully to another blogger, so I am certain we can make this work. You were my first try, so maybe I have gotten better at it.
Dave Weber
I could use an electronic copy of the assembly manual if still available. Also, I'm looking for a rear bumper and an ignition switch for my Bernardi that I just purchased a few days ago. I think the ignition switch is Ford but I am not certain. Any help is appreciated.
Two of mine have Pinto parts and the other has Mustang II parts – try Rock Auto Parts.
Dave, I have a 1984 Bernardi that was purchased from Art. I have the hardcopy of the manual but would be interested in a electronic copy if you still have it.
Please let me know if it is available and what the cost would be..

MG Magic Inc has the front turn signals as well as headlights and side mirrors – if you are still looking.
Linda – Is your Bernardi up for sale? I just got my first one, would love to have a twin.
Yes it is.
Linda – I am interested in your bernardi – I just bought my second one last Saturday. Would love to have triplets. Please send info to firstname.lastname@example.com
After way too much snow up here in Indiana, I am back on the hunt for summer fun with wheels. I noted your comment about selling your Bernardi. Has this mission been accomplished and if not, is dream still on the market. Please advise when you find a free moment. Thanks, Mike
Hi Londa,
Has your Bernardi been sold?
Thanks Linda. When you have the opportunity, would you please forward pertinent information about the Bernardi, with photos if possible? Please use firstname.lastname@example.com as the address. Thanks.
we are building an electric blakely bernardi for a customer. He is looking for a hardtop because it rains so much here. Any idea where to get one or what other hardtop might fit the bernardi. Thanks, Ed Storey, Green Scene Electric Vehicles
When you have photos and some dialog, sure would be great to see your project.
Dave Weber
Hi Dave. I have owned one now, for about 3 1/2 years. I traded a 65 Dodge Dart GT for it. It is an unusual piece, drawing much interest where ever I drive it. It has become very reliable , and has over 2800 mi. On it. Any idea what these are "worth"? Mine is a 2 ltr., 4 spd. (Pinto 1970)
Price seems to vary a lot Rick, depending upon condition and whether the car is complete or not. One for sale earlier this year for 12.5, saw it listed throughout the summer, no idea if it finally sold. A friend bought his a couple of years ago for 4K, was not totally finished and needed work (faded gel-coat, scratches and bruises, incorrect seats). I paid 6K for the one I have, had fresh engine, new top and rear window, excellent finish, instrumentation and wiring problems I am going through now, side window fabrication incomplete. 1978 donor, 2.3 normally aspirated with C3 Pinto automatic transmission. Parked the new car on week ends, drove the Bernardi everywhere I could.
HY Dave
As said, mine (called Stuart,due to its resemblance to the roadster driven by Stuart Little, in movie) is complete, and loved , especially children. It is VERY reliable, and from what I have read from other owners, I am one of the lucky ones , not having electrical glitches. It DOES , however , have a milky finish on the front of the hood & fender tops. Although not really objectionable , I would like to refinish. For all reading this, I am told McGuires sells a fiberglass marine refinishing product , worth a try. I found aluminum slotted wheels (as shown in the advertising brochure) and am running tubes in tires to give a softer ride (10-12 #s psi) …
Rick – Stuart Little would benefit from the McGuieres glass marine finishing kit. That is exactly what I used, and the results were excellent. Have to make certain to follow up with the polish part. I did not do that right away, color started getting dull even though the car has mostly been parked inside my shop. I am pulling all of the chrome over the winter and doing it completely, including multiple polishing coats, so it is ready for a lot of sun next summer.
Does anyone know where the Blakely Bernardi luggage rack came from?
I am pulling mine off in the next couple of weeks, will look for any markings. Since it is integral to the trunk holding arm, it could be a GM product. A friend recently commented he had seen that latching arm only on the earlier Corvettes.
I found the following on the bar that holds the trunk lid to the car: "Atwood Rockford Illinois". I don't know if it came with the luggage rack itself. There is nothing written on the back of the rack.
Just bought my third Bernardi and I am having a ball locating the source of many of the parts and completing the installations. As an example – the assembly manual says to cover a pinto seat frame and foam – don't do it, it will never look professional. Look at the Cerullo SC custom seat but you will have to talk Richard (Cerullo) into making them 19.5 " wide like he used to do in the 80's.
How about a few photos of the collection?
Can I post photos to this site? If so, how?
I don't know. Tried, could not, but I'll bet any of the grandkids could. Could you send some to my email at email@example.com? Thanks.
some of the posts submitted to this website nave been deleted, for what reason I cannot determine. If your's have been deleted please repost.
None here. Thanks for the photo. I don't believe I have seen any pictures where the side louvers and other bling had not been added. Nice, clean looking Bernardi hard top. Congratulations!
I recently sold my '66 Austin Healey after 30+ years of feast & famine. Now I have pangs for another summer top down fun vehicle. I've seen a couple of dog Bernardi models online but wondering were else to look for a complete (?) model. Hemmings and various other sites are not showing any for sale. Following the emails, I do not notice a car club. Is this a fact or am I missing something. If any ideas on vehicle availability or the car club, please respond and a black mark will be removed from your score sheet upstairs. Thanks in advance.
Mike – tough to find information on the Bernardi. This site has been the best I have found so far. You might just inquire of the site members to see if anyone has one they want to part with. The two recent ones online were a bit rough, I agree. I have not found a "club" yet, just an older blog. Please share if you find anything. Good luck finding your Bernardi. They are out there. I found mine while visiting an upholstery shop to get the seat done in a Studebaker truck. Saw the car, called the owner. It took three years for the owner to finally part with it, got it this past summer.
Good fortune to you! I will keep hunting. Quick story, I purchased a '54 Austin Healey out of an airplane hanger in "Boonie Indiana! " This puppy needed much love so I located a well respected shop to begin the process. Yes, the shop closed, my car vanished, and it was not insured for this situation. That will NEVER happen again. Like the idea of contacting other folks in this thread. Have a great weekend, Mike
Ouch! Had to hurt a bunch. I never thought about that event happening. Your lesson a good one for all of us. Good luck in your search. If I run across anything, will let you know. There was a woman back in the thread a bit wanting to sell hers, but I don't know what happened there. Several months ago, but one never knows.
I just bought a 1978 Bearcat 2. Having owned two of these in my younger days makes me excited about this one. I would like to have an assem. manual or parts guide and or reference. Thanks for any help. Tom Buchanan West Virginia email@example.com
Just bought a bearcat anyone know where I can find a build manual ?
Kindred Blakely Spirits,
I bought a Blakely Bantam kit from Dick Blakely in March, 1977. I had it professionally built in San Jose, California by Ron Burgess of Burgess Automotive. It was absolutely reliable over decades of street use. I sold it to a friend in Turlock, CA in 1997 and he later sold it to my godson in Fallbrook, CA. I bought it back from my godson two years ago (2013). this past winter, 2014 it was restored and upgraded for our southern California vintage racing organization, VARA (Vintage Auto Racing Association). The car began its new competition career in January, 2015 At VARA University (VARA driver's school) at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. In February I entered the first VARA race of the season at Spring Mountain Raceway in Pahrump, NV. In February we did a test day at Willow Springs International Raceway and in April completed VARA's Saturday race-day at Buttonwillow. I'm really looking forward to entering the SVRA race at Fontana, CA in June.
VARA has classified my car in D production, X (DPX). The X is "extra" modifications as a result of the Wilwood front and rear disc brakes I had installed. While the car is 350 to 400 lbs heavier than a Super 7, it is tough and really forgiving to drive fast! I'm running the same 1971 Pinto 2.0L engine that I installed in the summer of 1978. I'm hoping to make it through the entire 2015 VARA/SVRA race season with this old original engine intact! 38 years later, this Bantam has its original bright red gel coat still intact. I use Caterham Super 7 ABS plastic front fenders as a racing option to reduce lift at 100 mph and higher. I don't know of any other Blakely Bantams currently racing in SVRA, VARA, SCCA or any other formal racing club.
Please feel free to contact me regarding Blakely Bantams… they are tough and amazing to drive hard!
Devereaux Langdoc
Mr. Langdoc,
What is a good number to reach u at ?
recently purchased a 1981 Bernardi. Would like any information and communication from any Blakely owners.
Hello Melvin. I will try to see if the Drop Box link I established for the Blakely Bernardi build manual is still active. I will send that link to you if it is, advise if not. Hope you are enjoying your Bernardi.
Hi Dave, Could you also give me the drop box link to the build manual. Im trying to complete my car and it would be very helpful. Thanks so much.
The Drop Box files are still in place. I can add you to the access list, will need an email address. You can send one off-board to email@example.com if interested. The reason for the Drop Box is the files are much too large to just download to you. I think there are eight large files. Each page is scanned, so each is an individual image. Plus another owner added some video of his Bernardi. Adds up.
Dave Weber
Have all manuals. Looking for information about numbers built by company and how many built as kits and how to tell the difference.
I have a 1982 bernardi. The vin number on the left front firewall does not match the vin on the title. The bar plate starts with 82**** and the title vin starts with M1*****. Any reason these number don't match or is the vin located somewhere else?
A lot of states refuse to recognize the VIN assigned by BAW. So when they issue a title, they assign their own number and put it on the title as well as on the inside of the driver's door ( in two of my cases). By the way, you can tell the number of your bernardi (the order of manufacture) by the original BAW VIN. See my post above dated march 5, 2017.
Fought with DMV in Oregon for three months! Was registered as a '39 Benz replica and sent all information i could find from here and the Wikipedia articles plus the build book and a lot of photos of id plates and car. Every week I would call to ask about the progress and was handed a new hoop to jump through. The one thing that put a glitch in everything was the NCIC list that law enforcement goes by to identify vehicles. Bernardi is not recognized even though the information i found states that they issued certificates of origin. In the end I would receive a title stating assembled vehicle.
Good luck to all who seek a truly correct title.
I have a bearcat s 2.3 with a 4 speed around 33,000 miles, fun to drive any idea of it's value? Thinking about selling it can someone help?

- Description
When Courtney's husband leaves her for Mar-nee – a local beautician years younger – she's upset but nowhere near as devastated as she thought she'd be. Her marriage to David hasn't been great for a long time.
Now that he's gone, Courtney and her fifteen-year-old daughter, Susan, are left on their own at home. But Susan is a complete daddy's girl and likes to spend all her weekends in the new modern apartment that Mar-nee owns. Susan still thinks David is the greatest father on earth and Courtney has no intention of ruining that illusion for her daughter. In addition, Susan and Mar-nee have a fantastic relationship. In fact Susan says, they are as close as 'sisters', and constantly refers to the fact that 'Mar-nee just gets her.' And, of course, Susan and Mar-nee Snapchat their every waking moments.
But when Susan then decides to spend the whole summer with her dad and Mar-nee, Courtney is devastated. She needs a change, and some time for herself. With her grandmother's legacy, she decides she needs a complete change of scene, on her own, and a work assignment in Cornwall looks like the perfect solution. At least for the summer it's a new location, new people and a project to keep her busy. Then, when she bumps into a client she's worked with but never actually met, it's like being hit by a bolt of lightning. But can she ever have what she wants most in the world: a whole new relationship with the most important person in her life – her daughter?

Canaccord Genuity consumer analyst Scott Van Winkle said that the timing of Starbucks' launch of K-cups could provide a lift to Green Mountain Coffee Roasters' Keurig brewer sales. He said:
"As expected, Starbucks K-cups will be available in supermarkets and specialty retailers this fall, although we had hoped for September rather than November. The key is availability before the holiday selling season begins in late November to ensure that the availability of the Starbucks brand can deliver the incremental brewer sales that we anticipate it will. In all, we are encouraged by the announcement, which implies that the capacity ramp this summer has gone according to schedule, but are disappointed that availability in Starbucks stores will not occur until late 2012. This implies that a significant distribution lift from Starbucks stores won't impact GMCR until F2013. We also suspect that given Starbucks K-cups will be available in packages as small as 10-count, the price point will be at least $1/cup, which is consistent with our expectations."

Going to talk about some of my beliefs here.
As evidenced by yesterday's vote in North Carolina, not everyone shares my beliefs. But also, as evidenced by comments from almost all of my friends on Facebook and Twitter as well as our President, many people DO share them.
I believe that any church in America has every legal right to refuse to wed a gay couple if they believe it's wrong.
No, this does NOT mean I believe gay marriage is wrong, immoral, or should be banned. I don't. It simply means that I believe in the separation of church and state.
I believe that any two consenting adults should be allowed to get legally married if they want to. I don't care if it's a man & a woman, two men or two women.
I believe that amending constitutions, either state constitutions or the US Constitution, to ban gay marriage is ethically, morally and legally wrong.
In this day and age the word marriage has multiple meanings. There is legal marriage and there is religious marriage. If marriage was simply a function of the church, there would be no need for the legality of marriage licenses and marriage certificates from the government, and anyone who did not want a church wedding would not be allowed to get married.
This is why the push for banning gay marriage both angers and perplexes me. It is the religious groups lobbying for it. Why? They allow other marriages to happen legally without being held in a church. They are not forced to recognize any marriage they don't want to. Why should any marriage bother them if it has nothing to do with their church?
My marriage has NOTHING to do with religion or the church.
I am married to my husband because I love him, and we signed LEGAL papers for that marriage. Everything that getting married changed was changed legally, not religiously. If religion was something that was required to get married I would be stuck in the same place as the gays, wanting to marry someone I love but being told it wasn't allowed.
The rights, protections, and benefits I get from my non-religious marriage to my husband are the same ones the gays want to marry for. And yes, they want to marry for love. I was allowed to marry for love, why shouldn't they?
Yes, once upon a time being married in the church and in the eyes of whatever god you believe in was the only way a marriage was recognized, but I don't understand how anyone can claim that it is now only a religious joining and not a legal one. If it was solely religious then why does a non religious marriage change a person's legal status?
A church wedding is not required for a wedding to be viewed as legal. I feel any church that wants to can refuse to marry gays, just as they can already refuse to perform any marriage. Because the church part has no legal standing it is not illegal for a church to refuse to perform the ceremony. If Rick & I weren't already married, and if we walked into the LDS church down the street and asked to be married there, they would say no. I'm ok with this.
I was told on Facebook today that marriage is only the church's business, not the state's. Well then, ALL legal marriages should be converted to civil unions or whatever you want to call them, keep all the same legalities, and be available to any two consenting adults who want one. Then all the people who need their church to call it marriage can have whatever church ceremony they want without it affecting their legal rights or status in any way.
This November, here in Minnesota, we will be voting on a constitutional amendment: The Minnesota Same-Sex Marriage Amendment. "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to provide that only a union of one man and one woman shall ge valid or recognized as a marriage in Minnesota?"
Unfortunately even if this horrible amendment is defeated gay marriage is still going to be illegal in Minnesota because there is already a statute on the books that says "Marriage, so far as its validity in law is concerned, is a civil contract between a man and a woman." Defeating the amendment is still important though because it's another step towards equality some day.
If you agree with what I've said here, great! If not, that's ok too. I'm not going to ban dissenting opinions, but I will delete assholes. Also, don't try to convert me to your religious views. I have my beliefs and spirituality and you have yours. They don't have to be the same and you're not going to change mine. And of course, the rule that always stands, Wheaton's Law: Don't Be A Dick!

James Tanner of Familysearch has written a very informative and interesting article on fully utilizing your smartphone to do genealogy research. For a bit of effort to get to know how the various functions on your phone work, you don't need to carry piles of paper around if you have a smartphone. I have the Ancestry app on my ipod touch and my tablet and have found it very useful.
Welcome to Liz's family history blog!
***PLEASE NOTE***I've decided that I'm going to incorporate this blog into my main blog which until now was focused mostly on my art. I can't seem to manage to write two blogs consistently so this one will be retired and I will continue my family story over there. Hope you will join me! I have closed comments on this blog but if you want to send me a message about family history please contact me via this link.
Most of my ancestors lived in Staffordshire and the West Midlands in the UK; a few wandered over from Cheshire and perhaps Shropshire. The main surnames I'm researching are: Docksey, Meredith, Hopkins, Simpson, Cooke, Swetmore, Lunn, Cooper.

Perpetually prepared for innovative ways to get inspired and expand your horizons, you're prepared to discover an exciting travel spot like the expert traveller you are. It's not hard to fill an itinerary, because Expedia Canada makes it a breeze to book tons of things to do. Find and book your activities now, and all you'll have left to do is pack your suitcase and start daydreaming!
Our activities are the perfect way to organize your holiday. It takes an expert itinerary to really get the most out of Tokyo, particularly when you want to include plenty of local cuisine and entertainment. And we realize you're someone who likes to get out and about—you are excited to get out and play. You're thrilled to sign up for the most essential activities around, and a quiet day exploring local neighbourhoods is always time well spent. Book professional area tours on Expedia Canada, and you'll learn all about the city's history along the way.
Equal parts futuristic and fiercely traditional, Tokyo, Japan, is quite possibly the world's most thrilling metropolis. This is a city that thrives on contradiction: Neon signs flash only blocks away from ancient temples, bustling concrete jungles close into narrow gardens, and the latest trends are just as beloved as long-treasured tea ceremonies.
You could easily spend weeks exploring just one side of Tokyo's coin, but we're betting you won't want to. Once you witness this high-energy wonder in action, it's tough to resist its otherworldly charms.
Of course, knowing where to begin your Tokyo excursions can be difficult. With 12 million residents and dozens of distinct districts, this city is never short on local spots to explore. Get acclimated to the area by starting in the tourist centers of Central Tokyo's Chiyoda or Old Tokyo's Taito. The former will give you access to the Imperial Palace's stunning gardens, and the latter is home to several must see shrines. Make sure to spend a little time at the iconic Sensoji; it's the city's largest Buddhist temple and one of the most breathtaking attractions in Tokyo.
For a peek at the city's more youthful side, head to the shopping and dining mecca of Shibuya. This effervescent area encompasses the fashion-forward Harajuku district, and it's one of the best places to browse boutiques, snack on gourmet yakitori and watch a parade of people strolling the tree-lined streets. You'll also find a variety of after-hours Tokyo activities here, but Shinjuku is an even better bet for bars and nightclubs. Visit during twilight to wander through Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, and then head to the narrow alleys of Golden Gai to grab a cocktail at one of its nearly 200 bars.
If all this action leaves you feeling a little overwhelmed, consider booking a few Tokyo tours. These guided excursions are some of the top ways to uncover the city's iconic sights and off-the-beaten-path experiences, and you won't have to worry about decoding a map. From foodie jaunts through Yakitori Alley to cherry blossom viewings in Sumida, an expertly planned tour ensures that you'll never run out of things to do in Tokyo.

Atlético Madrid will on Friday open the first phase of a capital increase, according to the EFE. The club is looking to sell 484,059 shares, which "each have a nominal value" of €8.50 ($12) plus a €13 ($18) share premium, making each share worth €21.5 ($29). The sale of all the shares could net Atlético up to €10.4M ($14.2M). The process will be divided into three phases. The first phase, scheduled to start Friday, will be open to current shareholders. If any shares remain, "a second phase will open up for shareholders" affected by a capital increase held in '03 that was canceled by a court ruling in '11 which was recently upheld. The third phase, "which will take place if further shares remain, will be open to both current shareholders and those affected by the canceled capital increase" in '03 (EFE, 7/3).
Spanish football club Eibar, which earned promotion from Spain's second division to La Liga for the '14-15 season, is "on the verge of raising the amount of money necessary to complete its promotion," according to EL CONFIDENCIAL. Eibar announced via Twitter that it has reached 95% of the "share capital" of €1.7M ($2.3M) that it "had to raise by Aug. 6 to meet La Liga financial regulations." The club's campaign "received a boost after its on-field promotion, which it earned by finishing first in the second division." The involvement of "people from all over the world -- there are shareholders from 38 countries -- has moved Eibar very close to its objective and its participation in La Liga is nearly guaranteed." The remaining 5% that the club is lacking amounts to "little more than" €86,000 ($117,000). The "uncertainty over the capital increase has not stopped the athletic department from working." Eibar has already renewed coach Gaizka Garitano and players including Txema Añibarro and Aitor Arregi and it has also signed Javi Lara and Dani García (EL CONFIDENCIAL, 7/3).
Navarre, Spain Government President Yolanda Barcina announced that "she was expecting good news on the negotiations" between Spanish second division side Osasuna and the Spanish tax authorities, according to the EP. The negotiations pertain to the club "paying its debt to remain in the second division." Barcina pledged that the Navarre Government will collaborate with Osasuna to help prevent it from relegation to the third tier. Despite Barcina's announcement, it "will be Lourdes Goicoechea of the Spanish tax authorities who will have to confirm the details." Navarre Government sources indicated that the tax authorities "have analyzed a plan submitted by Osasuna and were able to reach a solution" (EP, 7/3).

Acer Nethercott was a rowing cox who excelled in the worlds of sport and academia. He won an Olympic silver medal with the men's eight at Beijing in 2008, and the Performance Director of GB Rowing, Sir David Tanner, described him as "the top British cox of his time".
Nethercott was born in Newmarket in 1977 and grew up in Harlow. Following education at Mark Hall Comprehensive and Broxbourne he went up to University College Oxford to read Theoretical Physics and Philosophy. On graduation in 2000 he was awarded the Top First, together with the Gibbs Prize in Philosophy. After a year in the United States as a teacher and rowing coach, he returned to Oxford where he obtained his B.Phil in 2003 and embarked on a doctorate.
Nethercott had taken up rowing during his first year at university but soon moved to the coxswain role because of his physique, steering the women's heavyweight team to victory against Cambridge in 2000.
His former coach, Dr Conall Mac Niocaill, told The Independent, "Acer could light up your whole day with five minutes of banter about pants, philosophy, and his beloved Arsenal. He had a passion for life and an infectious enthusiasm that rubbed off on everyone he met. He took up coxing for fun and, in typical fashion, turned out to be brilliant at it."
In 2003 he coxed Oxford to victory in the Boat Race; in a thrilling finish Oxford won by a foot. John Adams, a team-mate, said of him: "Acer was a brilliant scholar, a sportsman of unrivalled focus and a very loyal friend, qualities that he brought also to his protracted struggle with brain cancer. He was his own man – one of a kind and will be sorely missed."
He won the 2004 seat after a tense competition with Peter Hackworth, the winning cox in 2002. In the event Oxford lost by six lengths following a dramatic clash of blades and the unseating of their bowman. The 2005 race saw an epic struggle: Christopher Dodd, reporting for this newspaper, noted Nethercott's use of colourful language to spur on the team.
"He was warned once by the umpire Boris Rankov after the first minute and once after the mile opposite the Crab Tree just when he had invoked an unprintable quotation from Pulp Fiction, a trigger to which his crew responded with a 20-stroke push that took them half a length ahead again." Oxford went on to win in an impressive 16 minutes 41 seconds.
"It certainly feels a lot better today than it did 12 months ago," Nethercott said afterwards. "Cambridge are a great crew but they came up against the big guns today. They have a great technique, but we were never just the big grunters we were made out to be in the build-up."
The Boat Race victories consolidated his renown and led him on to the international stage. In 2008 he won World Cup bronze at Lucerne and gold at Poznan, as well as silver in the World Championships in Munich. Successfully juggling his academic life with his love of the sport – he was a member of Molesey Boat Club in Surrey – Nethercott had written an 80,000-word doctoral thesis on "The Semantics of Complex Demonstratives" and received his Doctorate in the Philosophy of Language/Linguistics just one day before the team flew out to Lucerne that year.
The peak of his sporting career came in August 2008 at the Beijing Olympics. where the British men's eight beat the US – Olympic champions at the time – in the heats. They went on to win silver, just behind the Canadians. The team's bowman, Alex Partridge, enthused, "We've just won an Olympic silver medal, and I just rowed in the most enjoyable crew I ever rowed in, the best nine guys and the best two coaches. I couldn't ask for a better Olympic experience."
Nethercott's family said in a statement: "We were truly proud of him, not just for his achievements but also for how kind, generous and influential he was to so many he met and made an impression upon. Whilst taken from us far too early he really did lead a full life due to his verve and determination which resulted in elite academic and sporting achievements, as well as travelling the globe."
Di Ellis, Chairman of British Rowing, said: "Acer was a young man who always appeared as an independent spirit with a sense of fun but once in the boat was a determined competitive cox for his crew whether club, university or country."

Dear Members,
This year WFIU turned 60! That's 60 years of education, entertainment, and community service that enriches the lives of thousands of listeners.
We have come a long way since the 1950s when the broadcast week averaged 37.5 hours. Back then programs were few, and our relatively uncomplicated technology evolved at a leisurely pace. As late as 1984, LPs were still cataloged using a card catalog system; local programs were recorded on reel-to-reel tape and laboriously edited with a razor and splicing tape. Programs were delivered by mail, and if late, a staff member rushed to Indianapolis to get a copy. Stations were eagerly awaiting a brand new technology just around the corner—CDs!
No one anticipated the explosive changes that would rock the media world: a proliferation of TV and satellite channels posing new competition, the spread of the Internet and its ability to provide station streams from around the world, and the emergence of a different type of media user—one who accessed content over a variety of platforms and listened on his/her time. Though radio dominated the media choice menu, there was no doubt that other platforms were becoming increasingly attractive
to listeners.
WFIU needed to maintain a strong radio service while, at the same time, meet the needs of multi-platform listeners. This meant finding ways in which our product and services could thrive on emerging platforms. In addition, we had to operate within a tight budget that routinely was threatened by state and federal funding cuts. Our producers and engineers met these challenges, and over the last decade, several major shifts prepared WFIU for the future.
To address a growing listener desire for local content, WFIU shifted from a program pass-through station to a producer of local and national content. Though we continue to broadcast flagship national programs such as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Performance Today, we also create programs such as Harmonia, Night Lights, A Moment of Science, and a number of topic-oriented programs for local and national audiences, and on a variety of platforms.
In addition, we began online-only production with podcasts of programs such as Earth Eats, Ether Game, Harmonia, and Kinsey Confidential, which can reach non-radio consumers. The result has been very satisfying. More and more local voices now populate our airwaves. Often these voices reach global audiences and bring rich Indiana resources to national and international attention.
To better serve our existing strong radio audience, translators were built in Terre Haute, Columbus, Kokomo, Greensburg, and French Lick/West Baden. Although new digital platforms are on the rise, we realize that most current and immediate future listening is still done on radio. A new signal (WFIU HD2) for home and online use was also added, providing more radio programming options and creating the infrastructure for expanded online programming.
Much of our cultural programming was refocused from announcer-assisted, CD-spin programs to on-site reporting on music and the arts. This change of philosophy has encouraged community reporting and interaction with members in the arts community. Programs such as Artworks, daily features, and area performance reviews entered the schedule. And our online efforts were built in a way that could position WFIU as a center for community discussion and discourse.
News capacity increased, adding local programs such as Noon Edition and Ask the Mayor. WFIU restructured the news area into a multi-platform division that includes radio, online, and television. And as a long-time member of Indiana's public broadcasting consortium (IPBS), WFIU continues to play a pivotal role in organizing the state news service which reports daily from the Statehouse.
WFIU was, and continues to be, an early adapter of new technology. We were one of the first public radio stations to create an accompanying Web site in the early 1990s, and one of the first to anticipate the influx of new generations of on-demand listeners and social media users. We've addressed these trends through strong interactive online content.
You may not know that WFIU is considered a national leader in innovative multi-platform programming that includes online versions of traditional programs as well as a variety of new, online-only content. For the month of September 2010, WFIU's online service peaked at 100,000 users.
A robust involvement in online development enabled WFIU to venture more boldly into emerging areas of online fundraising. To date, online-only fund drives were tried out with Night Lights, Harmonia, and A Moment of Science, and the initial results are encouraging. One advantage of online-only solicitation on nationally distributed programs is that it targets a global online audience and creates a new pool of supporters.
As we celebrate WFIU's 60th anniversary we ask: what makes WFIU strong? The answer is surprisingly simple—strong licensee support, talented and innovative staff, and an engaged and generous listenership.
IU has been extremely supportive over the years, and there is no doubt that our staff is exemplary. And then there is you—the listeners who have supported WFIU over the decades. Your financial contributions have helped us weather funding droughts that crippled many of our colleague stations.
You, individual and corporate supporters, are the most reliable source of financial support we have. Your support protects us from external turbulence. Without you, WFIU's role as a community resource would be severely limited.
Please reconfirm your support to WFIU during this 60th anniversary fund drive. Our goal of $350,000 will fund our shared vision of public radio's core mission—to provide citizens with media content that lets them learn, make informed decisions, and enjoy their cultural treasures.
Happy 60th, listeners!
Christina Kuzmych
Station Manager

I haven't used test strips before. My local supplier recommended a Nutrafin aquarium kit for nitrites and ammonia (the ones with the pipette and test tube). Is this the best way to monitor the water conditions? Should I be testing for anything else?
I prefer a chemical test kit to test strips. That way you aren't just using modified litmus paper which after exposure to air and or moisture loose their viability fast.
