Archive for the 'flying cars' tag
Cars of Futures Past – Moller M200G Volantor / Neuera
The Moller M200G in testing. Images courtesy of Moller International.
The problem with automobiles is this: They require roads to operate on. Even trucks and jeeps have limits off road, which is why the idea of a flying car continues to have so much appeal. Though the Terrafugia Transition "roadable aircraft" inches ever closer to availability, its operators will need to be trained and licensed pilots, greatly limiting the craft's appeal (and the pool of available buyers). What if a vehicle could provide many of the benefits of a flying car, without requiring a pilot's license to operate? That's exactly the question raised by engineer Paul Moller, the inventor of the Moller M200G Volantor and its latest evolution, the Moller Neuera.
Unlike Moller's other work in development, the Moller Skycar, the Moller M200G Volantor is more advanced hovercraft than airplane, though Moller himself refers to the craft as a "personal vertical take off and landing vehicle." Using the ground effect (the increased lift and decreased drag experienced by a wing close to the ground) to produce added lift, the M200G is designed to be operated at a height of up to 10 feet, giving the operator the ability to clear obstacles like rocks, logs, stalled cars and even bodies of water. The Neuera takes the M200G's capabilities and extends them even further, theoretically giving licensed sport pilots the ability to operate at altitudes as high as 8,000 feet.
The M200G can accommodate payloads of up to 350 pounds.
Round in shape, with either an open cockpit or an enclosed plexiglass dome, the MG200 uses a pronounced tail fin to steer, while eight "Rotapower" rotary engines provide both lift and thrust. Electronics are said to keep the M200G stable in flight, while preventing operators from exceeding the 10-foot (112 inches, to be specific) ground effect altitude limit established by the size of the craft. The cruising speed is said to be 50 MPH, though details on maximum speed or range are somewhat vague. In mid-2007, Moller announced that production of the M200G would begin shortly, but that milestone has apparently not yet been reached.
Like the M200G, the Neuera also features eight Rotapower engines (each rated at 55 horsepower) for lift and propulsion. The craft offers side-by-side seating, as long as the maximum net payload of 350 pounds isn't exceeded, and offers a cruising speed at sea level of 75 MPH, along with a claimed top speed of 100 MPH. At maximum weight, the Neuera is said to offer a range of 100 miles between refueling spots, and can be configured to run on ethanol, gasoline, or blended fuels. At cruising speed, the Neuera is expected to return fuel economy of 8.3 miles per gallon on gasoline, which isn't bad when one factors in its eight engines.
Though the M200G and its variants have been under development since the 1980s, Moller claims it's still working on verification and approval from the appropriate regulatory agencies before production (and hence, sales to the public) can begin. Given the company's history of optimistically projecting product status, it's not likely we'll see M200Gs overhead anytime soon, but it's probably worth pointing out that even Thomas Edison witnessed many more failures than successes. Moller International head, Dr. Paul Moller, is also the founder of exhaust manufacturer Supertrapp Industries (which he sold in 1988), as well as a professor emeritus at the University of California, Davis; in other words, he has a solid background in both theory and manufacturing.
Whether Moller International will ever be able to resolve the regulatory and financial obstacles that block the M200G from reaching production remains to be seen, but it is likely that someone eventually will. As an everyday vehicle, the M200G may not be the most practical, but future personal VTOL craft could deliver better fuel economy (and hence, better range) and even greater payload potential, assuming the demand is there. When that happens, perhaps history will look back on the M200 as the craft that made us ponder, "what if?"
Cars of Futures Past – The Taylor Aerocar
An Aerocar Series I prototype. Photo by Lotzman Katzman.
The dream of flying cars has likely been with us since the first automotive traffic jam, but making the leap from concept to certification and beyond proved impossible for many budding inventors. Though today's Terrafugia Transition may ultimately prove to be the first successful roadable aircraft, in the 1950s it seemed as if that distinction would go to the Aerocar, invented by Moulton (Molt) Taylor.
To be clear, Taylor didn't pioneer the flying car prototype; in fact, the first such model was likely the Curtiss Autoplane of 1917, which proved incapable of anything resembling true flight. It wasn't until 1937 that the ungainly looking Waterman Arrowbile proved that flying cars were possible, though this model never progressed beyond the prototype stage.
The post-war years saw a resurgence in interest about flying cars, perhaps because the Second World War had somewhat demystified the science of flight. In 1946, Robert Edison Fulton Jr. debuted his Fulton Airphibian flying car, which featured a fuselage that could be split in two; the front half became a primitive automobile, while the assembly that formed the permanent wings and tail was intended to be left behind at the airport. Though the Airphibian never progressed beyond the prototype stage either, it did influence the thinking of aeronautical engineer Molt Taylor.
Taylor thought the concept of leaving half the vehicle behind was flawed, so he penned a design that featured a folding, towable wing and tail assembly. Designed to be converted from automobile to airplane by a single person in under five minutes, the Taylor Aerocar saw its first official test flight in December of 1949.
Still primitive by automobile standards of the day, the Aerocar featured an air-cooled Lycoming flat-four engine, positioned over the rear wheels. A three-speed manual transmission provided drive to the front wheels, and this road transmission was simply placed into neutral when the Aerocar was in flight mode. Part of the conversion process from automobile to airplane involved the fitting of a tail cone and propeller assembly, which was driven by a power take-off located behind the rear license plate.
To save weight, aluminum was used in construction of the frame, wings, tail and ailerons, while the fuselage was covered in fiberglass panels. The Aerocar's steering wheel operated the front wheels on the ground, but was also linked to ailerons and elevator flaps to provide bank and pitch control in flight. On the floorboard, positioned outside the clutch and brake pedals, were rudder control pedals, and the throttle (for both road use and flight) consisted of a dashboard-mounted knob.
At the end of a flight segment, converting from airplane to car was as simple as deploying wing-mounted braces and wheels, folding the wings back alongside the tail superstructure, stowing the propeller, disengaging the tail assembly and controls and rotating the tail into the towing position. Once home, the tail portion could be parked, leaving the Aerocar's cabin to double as a compact car.
Early development of the Aerocar continued throughout 1950, and its first long flight (from Salem, Oregon, to Longview, Washington) took place on August 29, 1950. Thanks to Taylor's relentless efforts at promotion (on television, as well as at auto and aircraft shows), rising consumer interest allowed him to attract investors to back his flying car concept.
Incorporation allowed Taylor to raise an additional $750,000 via sale of company stock, and in May of 1954 an improved version (that solved the issue of vibration in the long propeller shaft) was submitted to Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) for certification. On December 14, 1956, the Aerocar became the first certified airplane that could also be driven on U.S. highways, a feat that has yet to be duplicated.
Though Taylor continued to build Aerocar Series I prototypes into 1960, finding a manufacturer willing to construct the Aerocar at anything resembling a reasonable price proved elusive. While public interest was rampant in the 1950s, part of that stemmed from a projected selling price in early literature of between $3,000 and $4,000. Later literature would revise that price upward to "under $10,000," but Taylor still had difficulty finding a suitable manufacturing partner.
In 1961, Aerocar International Corporation penned a deal with Ling-Temco-Vought to produce the Aerocar, but the agreement was short-lived. Some blame its failure on the inability to attract the 500 buyers needed to implement production, while others attribute the demise of the partnership to the use of deposit money for advertising instead of tooling. Whatever the reason, the Aerocar never saw series production, though Taylor spent the rest of his life building improved prototypes (like the Series II and Series III Aerocars) and seeking a manufacturing partner.
Though the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s delivered the promise of flying cars in magazines, movies and television shows, the reality of stress-free commutes above the sweltering stench of traffic jams never quite materialized. The Aerocar kept that dream alive for many, not just its inventor, and the groundwork that it built may one day lead to a practical and (somewhat) affordable flying car.
The mystery of the Cuban skycar
On a suggestion from one of our readers, I picked up Richard Schweid's 2004 book on 1950s cars in Cuba, "Che's Chevrolet, Fidel's Oldsmobile: On the Road in Cuba." While I didn't find exactly what I was looking for in the book, I did come across a couple other tidbits worth mentioning.
One of them dealt with the 1959 Havana International Auto Show, the first and only international auto show to take place in Cuba. Schweid noted that manufacturers from the United States, France, England, Spain, Germany, Sweden and Czechoslovakia attended the show and that more than 250,000 people took it in, making the three-week-long show a success.
There was something else too. Schweid wrote:
One of the star attractions of the show was a car that converted to an airplane, built by a Massachusetts company. It was driven from New England down to Key West, Florida, from whence it flew to Havana for the auto show. It covered the ninety miles in eighty minutes, which included "several" minutes circling low over Havana before landing, during which "thousands of persons could not believe their eyes," according to the Diario de la Marina.
The article in Automotive World reported that the aeromobile could attain heights of 12,000 feet and go a hundred miles an hour. Its propeller was mounted in the rear, the wings folded up inside of less than five minutes, and there was room for four passengers. The article was accompanied by a photograph of a smiling U.S. ambassador, Philip Bonsal, sitting behind the wheel of the pod-shaped prototype.
So which flying car was it that made it to the Havana auto show? It certainly wasn't the Skroback. I checked our SIA article on flying cars, but it lists none from Massachusetts and only a couple specifically from the late 1950s – same for the Roadable Times's listing of flying cars. As well, trying to find any sort of reference on the 1959 Havana Auto Show is next to impossible – it seems the newspapers at the time just didn't give it much coverage.
However, I did find mention in the January 11, 1959, edition of the Miami News of the Aerocar appearing at the International Foreign and Sports Car Show early that year. If that's the same Aerocar that Molt Taylor built, then we see that Taylor did continue building experimental flying cars at least into the 1970s, and his flying cars were indeed of the pusher type. It doesn't prove that it's the same flying car that buzzed Havana (Taylor hailed from Washington state, not Massachusetts), but it does prove that Taylor was exhibiting his Aerocar at about the same time.
Of course, the possibility exists that it was an unaccounted-for flying car that made the trip to Havana. Can anybody help solve this mystery?
UPDATE (18.March 2010): Thanks to Marilyn Stine below, we have an answer. Indeed, it was an Aerocar that flew to the 1959 Havana International Auto Show, as chronicled in Jake Schultz's book, "A Drive in the Clouds: The Story of the Aerocar." The Massachusetts part of the mystery comes from the exhibition of the Aerocar not by Molt Taylor, but by Aerocar buyer/dealer Thomas Weitbrecht.

Loc came of age in Oakland, where he evolved from, as he puts it, "just fucking around with fools and beat-boxing in middle school" to making music influenced by Bay Area brethren such as C-BO and Spice 1. When he moved to Denver in 1990, he didn't think there was much of a hip-hop scene. But he learned differently after hooking up with Dez and Chill, considered two of the best rappers in the area, and producer Hakeem Abdul Khaaliq, a co-founder of the influential new 'zine State of the Union ("United They Stand," November 6, 1997). Khaaliq subsequently included "Everyday Thang," a track featuring Loc, Dez and Vamp Dogg, on a compilation disc assembled under the umbrella of his No Coast Line production company. Since then, Loc says, "Me, Dez and Vamp have been clicking. They are kind of my Str8 Chek'n brothers."
The first Str8 Chek'n release, a five-song maxi-single called The Hitman, came out in 1996, and thanks to strong word of mouth, it wound up selling approximately 1,000 copies. "It came out pretty cool," Loc notes. "People liked it--they liked our quality of music. They were all like, 'Yeah, man, you're all tight.' And after we sold those, we figured we could do another and even blow it up a little bit more."
In terms of quality, Hit List, Loc's first full-length, more than lives up to the promise of The Hitman. The CD sports top-notch professional value, as well as a diverse sound that Loc attributes in part to the contributions of several producers who worked on the project. Zaboo, who was behind the board for sinister cuts such as "All About Game" and "Kingpinnin," has "a killer funk vibe," Loc points out. "He's like a baby Dr. Dre. Every time I hook up with him, it's tremendous." Other production styles come courtesy of G-Hill, from the group Minority, who provides the laid-back grooves that highlight tracks such as "Cold Streets," as well as from Kingdom cohort Chris Johnson, the man responsible for the viciously funkified touches that accent "4 Da Revenues," which updates for the hip-hop era the theme of the O'Jays' "For the Love of Money." Against a smooth R&B chorus sung by Dai Dai, Loc reminisces about "how we used to play in the streets/ And how a slingshot was my first heat/Wasn't knowing about the struggle/And all the praying for Moms and Pops/Got us sitting on the bubble." He then contrasts these innocent memories with observations of what desperate people will do for cash: "Another victim's soul escapes from this murderous mayhem that the money creates/ What we do for the revenues."
Although Hit List contains a plethora of references to implements of destruction, Loc swears that he is neither promoting nor glamorizing violence. He calls his music "reality-based rap" and says that he strives for "versatility. I don't just like to come with one style. I like to talk about girls, money, different issues and conflicts." Urban crime is a favorite topic, but he doesn't feel that his decision to rap about it helps perpetuate the cycle of despair: "The things that are happening in our cities are the same things happening in your cities. I'm just telling you how it is. Kids run around and play cowboys and Indians, and they don't do it because they've been listening to this. They get it from seeing it on TV, whether it be Schwarzenegger or Snipes." The economics of survival also come into play, he believes. "If it was more of an equal thing, not so many people would have to get killed," he says. "When you can sit back and play golf, you ain't got no struggle anymore."
Plenty of Coloradans relate to Loc's songs: Since it hit stores last November, Hit List has moved nearly 2,000 units, in spite of being ignored by local radio stations. Loc is mystified by this lack of support. "For some reason, they don't want to play my stuff," he says. "I've got clean versions and everything, so I don't know what the problem is. Maybe you've got to flash 'em money or something. But they need to give the local cats a chance to put it on, maybe like once a week. That's all they've got to do."

Final Thoughts
The ASRock 880G Extreme3 was a good performing board. We saw solid performance for most tasks with a few exceptions that were more related to the CPU used than anything else.
We did have some issues with memory and getting the voltages dialed in right for the type of memory we were using. We also saw the IGP have problems with overclocking. We have a feeling that this will be resolved with a future BIOS update. For now, you can get good clocks on air cooling with little trouble if you are using an Add-in GPU.
At only $105.99 at the time of writing over at NewEgg.com, the 880G Extreme3 is a good deal. When you add the performance with SATA 3.0, USB 3.0 and Tri Crossfire support, the pennies do add up.

I just don't get the hate for Stitch's Great Escape. Alien Encounter was good, yes....but I like SGE so much more.
I just don't get the hate for Stitch's Great Escape. Alien Encounter was good, yes....but I like SGE so much more.
In my case I hate it because it's just a lame rehash of AE. It's a lazy way to "replace" a ride; by just swapping out a few features. Also, stitch is annoying to me.
this is a good point. reading this thread, i really liked the idea suggested with wall-e going in place, it would fit well with everything already in there, except after you raised this point i realized there's better options than just plugging a new character in. instead of thinking of what else can be popped in there, they should just gut that attraction space and think of something entirely new to fill that spot.
and as far as the whole pixar tomorrowland thing, wall-e and buzz both fit there. i love the laugh floor, but i guess when i think about it, it doesn't really fit in tomorrowland, so i guess i understand why everyone is upset about tomorrowland being pixar themed, but wall-e would be perfect there.
i also like the tiki room having iago and zazu, but i'm not goin to be naive about this. both tiki room AND SGE aren't popular. i've been around the parks, and i've seen these rides stay mostly walk on, except for those truly insane weeks when everything has a line (thanksgiving, the last couple weeks of december, etc.) but i'm not sure what exactly needs to be changed. maybe not everything has to have the hour plus long wait. sometimes its nice to be able to just walk onto an attraction and take a break.
a dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep.
I like your point that you made here.But to re-iterate,I was saying that there should be a completely new "land" added to MK.Call it Pixarland or something uniquely different.Not to combine it with tomorrowland,but be distinctly separate.So if anyone,has read any of this before,those in favor of a pixarland,we are not talking a combo package here.We are talking completely separate.
As far as I am concerned,they could take out toontown,gut it,and turn that area into the pixarland attractions and rides.Didn't yall read where I mentioned about a Meet the Robinsons space ship type ride? That would be cool.Let's get some comments on it.
Park Hopper Dad!
I just don't like the idea of Stitch in The Tiki Room. Doesn't seem to make sense. I know he ends up in Hawaii but it just doesn't seem to work.
I think that maybe it's time to move most Pixar themed rides to DHS. I know the mindset is to keep some of Disney's most popular attractions at it's most popular park (MK) but there's just some attractions that don't fit. We like laugh floor but I'm not sure it fits in Tomorrowland. I'm not sure it fits in Fantasyland or Adventureland either. I think it would be a perfect replacement for Sounds Dangerous.
Stitch needs to be in the parks. He's popular with kids and let's face it he brings in money!
Not a bad idea.Even though I mentioned about gutting toontown and putting pixarland there,putting a big section in DHS is a good thought too.That also means that I DO agree that MK should actually stay as close to its' original design as it can;for"Uncle Walt",ya know.
Park Hopper Dad!
At the risk of being pounced by a crustacean, I will say I'm not a fan of Stitch's Great Escape nor the new Tiki room (lot of hold memories of that place.)
However, I'd also prefer if tomorrow land could get an attraction that didn't have a pre-existing film property. Something completely new and forward thinking.
That being said; I LOVE WALL-E to death. My fiance and I have collected everything with his adorable little face on it, and she has even made us a cute little wall-e quilt. If some wonderful imagineer could get wall-e into MGM we would be beyond ECSTATIC!
that is an awesome idea
Wishin' I was in the World
What will you CELEBRATE!

Tell the BLM to give final approval to solar leases.
Not a light bulb's worth of solar electricity has been produced on the millions of acres of public desert set aside for it. Not one project to build glimmering solar farms has even broken ground. The Bureau of Land Management's database of solar applications shows many languished for years while the agency approved more than 73,000 oil and gas leases in the last five years. As of 1 September 2010, the BLM has yet to give final approval to one solar lease. Enough is enough. End our destructive dependence on fossil fuels. Electrify our homes and businesses with green energy. Energize our economy with lasting, permanent, green collar jobs.

Key Features of Classical Music
- Simple, mainly diatonic harmonies
- Expression markings given in scores including crescendos and diminuendos
- Balanced, repetitive and clear-cut melodies that form questions and answers
- Often homophonic in texture
- Increased use of wind instruments, though the melody is still mainly in the strings. The wind instruments tend to fill out the harmonies
- Basso continuo replaced with alberti bass
- Harpsichord replaced by the piano and no longer used in the orchestra
- Clarinet invented
Important composers: Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven
What is a Symphony?
A symphony is a large scale orchestral work that first became popular in the Classical period. It consists of four movements:
- Fast
- Slow
- Minuet and Trio
- Fast
All three of the composers mentioned earlier wrote symphonies, Beethoven wrote 9 while Haydn wrote over 100! Mozart composed about 50 symphonies with many being commissioned by royalty or aristocrats. The most likely place to hear a symphony would be in a concert hall.
Symphony 40 Facts
- Key of G minor
- 4 movements
- Use of sonata form for 1st, 2nd and 4th movements
- 3rd movement is a minuet & trio
- Each movement has a different tempo
- The first movement is molto allegro which means very fast
- No trumpets or timpani – unusual for a Classical Symphony!
Most of the melodies are made up of 4 bar phrases that sound like questions and answers. Many of them are scalic.
This is a typical Classical symphony and therefore the harmony is diatonic throughout. There are however times when Mozart uses chromatic chords such as the diminished 7th and augmented 6th – mostly used in the development section where the tonality is more ambiguous.
A popular feature of Classical music was the use of the circle of 5ths as a chord progression. Mozart uses this in a number of places but most notably in bars 57-58 and bars 203-209. Its clever design is very helpful in composing and harmonizing melodies, building chords, and moving to different keys within a composition.
As with much music from the Classical period the main texture in this piece is homophonic. He does however use dialogue between instruments. Look at the second subject in bars 44-48 – first you hear the strings which is then answered by the WW.
As well as the clarinet and piano being invented in the Classical period the horn was also another new arrival. The type of horn used at this time was called a natural horn. It had no valves and therefore relied on the musicians lips to create different notes. The notes were limited to their harmonic range. A horn in Bb would therefore only be able to play the notes Bb D F and C. A horn in G would be able to play G B D and F. In order to maximise the number of pitches Mozart had 2 horns – one in Bb and the other in G.

Plus: Welcome home, Carlton Thompson
"We aren't a dance band, but we all like to dance," drummer Michael Stewart says of his band, Fable and the World Flat. "We like music that makes you feel good. "We don't just want audiences standing around with their arms crossed," Stewart continues. "It's a lot more fun when people are moving. We want to bring audiences that same feeling they'd get every time they hear the Jackson 5's 'I Want You Back.'"
That's an ambitious mission statement considering that Stewart's band grounds its sound not in sunny indie-pop or uptempo electro-clash, but rather in the somber, jazzy indie-rock of turn-of-thecentury groups like Karate and Aloha, bands more likely to crush spirits than lift them.

Although smoking causes cancer and diminishes health generally, more and more students start smoking at even younger age. Because of these severe health consequences, measures to prevent smoking initiation need to be strong and enforced and attempts should be made to motivate the many addicted smokers to quit.
The Netherlands received the first Quality Label for this great project! But I'm sure more will follow.

The voltage on the socket is 1500W pulse, and the bulbs are 1000W. While the ballast says 1100W. Do I have a problem here?
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
No problem. The ballast itself is not drawing 1100W; that's ballast + bulb. Besides, unless your house has defective wiring. the worst thing that would happen is you'd throw a breaker. |
- Posted by canuckistani 5b (My Page) on Tue, Mar 31, 09 at 13:39
Thanks. My ballast is humming a bit which I think is normal. It also has a bit of an electrical odour when its running but no smoke at all. Should I be concerned with that. Everything seems to running fine... |
You're fine. |
canukistani, You said the "voltage on the socket is 1500W pulse". Did you actually mean 1500V (volts) and not 1500W (watts). My guess is VOLTS. All HID lamps use a high voltage pulse to start the electrons flowing through the mixture of gas and metallic salts which are in the quartz tube inside the bulb center. Technically the pulse initiates the ionization of the gas mix and starts the plasma arc, which then heats the metallic salts to thousands of degrees. The fact that the ballast uses 1100 watts is pefectly normal. All HID ballasts consume 10 to 12 percent extra power above the bulb's rating, as karenrei indicated. That excess wattage is what heats up the ballast. And it will definitely hum! Zink |

Escaping Sins of Social Past
In today's social- driven climate, it's become increasingly difficult for companies to escape their past. Events that have taken place years back can suddenly, without warning, resurrect and haunt a brand in a way they couldn't previously. Past stories tend may get shared again on other social media networks like Facebook instead of their origination. Below you can see the prevalence of a story about Delta airlines that is predominantly shared on Facebook, which tends to have more stories, instead of a site like Twitter, which tends to be for in the moment information in a bite sized format.

Alibaba's Magical Debut
Mentions for the Chinese tech giant Alibaba were up 221% today, hitting a high of 19,207 mentions as the markets closed. Alibaba's opened the day at $92.70 36% higher than the IPO price of $68 but that didn't stop people from talking about it all day. Although the company had an overall positive net sentiment (82.9% positive mentions vs 17.1% negative mentions) there were some objections and confusion around what the company does exactly. People on twitter voiced their complaints saying "Alibaba is too big. Seems sketchy" and "Alibaba gonna crash. Sooner or later. Overvalued. Overrated."

Kadner: A 'last blast' for Bleekers Bowl
By Phil Kadner email@example.com August 6, 2013 9:28PM
Article Extras
Updated: September 8, 2013 6:14AM
They're closing Bleekers Bowl and Tavern in Evergreen Park.
When news broke of a demolition sale of stuff from the bar and bowling alley over the weekend, word quickly spread on Facebook.
"The sale is off," said Tim Sterk, who owns the bowling alley, tavern and package liquor store at 3447 W. 95th St. "I just rushed into this too quick because I was so emotional about the closing."
Sterk said he decided not to renew his lease and closed the bowling alley about three weeks ago "because people just don't bowl like they used to."
A Binny's Beverage Depot apparently will be moving in, and Sterk said he believes it will remodel the building, not demolish it.
The good news for longtime Evergreen Park residents is that Sterk has decided to reopen the bowling alley, which has been closed, for two important dates.
"On Thursday, we've got a group of 90 kids coming in here from a day camp program in Evergreen Park," he said. "They end the day camp every year by marching up St. Louis to our bowling alley, and I decided I owed it to the community to do that one last time."
And from 9 a.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday, the bowling alley and tavern will be open to the public for one "Last Blast."
"We need to say a proper goodbye," Sterk said.
Sterk said it was his daughter who telephoned to say he needed to rethink selling off all the furniture and equipment this week.
"She said, 'Do you want people coming in there and pulling the bar stools out from underneath the people drinking beers at the bar? What are you thinking?' Only she may have used a little stronger language than that."
At Bleekers Tavern, a few sad customers were drinking beers Tuesday afternoon. One of them was Richard Kjeldsen, 76, a longtime Evergreen Park resident who was visiting from his new home in California on his annual pilgrimage to Bleekers.
"It's just really, really sad," Kjeldsen said of the closing. "Evergreen Park is Bleekers. I think of my father when I come here. He used to come here for a beer maybe 80 years ago. This place is sort of a legacy to me from my father.
"This place was a bar before it was a bowling alley. Most people don't remember that. For me, Evergreen Park will always mean Bleekers and Rainbow Cone."
Facebook Nation was abuzz with recollections of businesses that have vanished from the village over the years — the Coral Theater, Beverly Theater, Martinique Restaurant and Evergreen Golf Course, just to mention a few.
"'MASH' produced its last episode," Sterk said. "'Cheers' came to an end. On Aug. 10, Bleekers will produce its last episode."
Fritz Bleeker opened the bar in the 1940s, I'm told, and the bowling alley in the mid-1950s.
"It was a gathering place for the Knights of Columbus, American Legion Post, church groups," recalled Evergreen Park Mayor Jim Sexton. "It used to be home to the Dog House Follies, a group of guys who got together and put on a show, dancing for the people to raise money. That's when there was more of a sense of community spirit.
"But things change. Places change. A Wal-Mart replaced the Martinique, and it's doing very well for the village. It wasn't my idea to close the Martinique, but once that decision was made you have to move on."
A Mariano's Fresh Market will soon be moving into the old Webb Ford dealership on 95th Street, Sexton said, and business is booming at the new shopping plaza that used to be a golf course.
"It's ironic that 95th Street is undergoing a rebirth, and I'm going out of business," Sterk said. "You can't find a better community than Evergreen Park or a better mayor than Jim Sexton."
During his 14 years as owner, Sterk said he saw kids holding graduation parties in his bowling alley, people getting married and "even some funerals."
He said his brother, Mark, recently asked him that if he could save one thing from the alley what would it be.
"I knew right away," Sterk said. "It would be a photograph of Joe Dwyer, a customer who died in a car accident on his way to work."
Sterk said the photograph of Dwyer was hung after his death in 2005 and has been there ever since.
Bill Bard, owner of Arena Lanes, recalled that his father opened that bowling alley, 4700 W. 103rd St., in 1954, a year or so before Bleekers opened its doors.
"Fritz and my dad were competitive at first but soon they learned to cooperate and became friends," Bard said. "It's hard, really impossible now, to make a living off league bowling.
"Once, that was maybe 90 percent of your business. You had 9 p.m. leagues that were packed. Now, I doubt you can find a 9 p.m. league. People have to get up at 4 a.m. to go to work.
"So now you have to attract parties — graduation parties, wedding parties, birthday parties, that's where the business is at. I think Bleekers may have been the last to have hardwood lanes. The rest of us have gone to synthetics.
"You can still make a living in this business. But it's tough."
At some point, Sterk said, he will probably put the stuff from Bleekers back on the auction block.
"But now's not the time," he said. "Now is the time to let the community say goodbye to Bleekers and for us to say thank you to the community.
"I'm a fortunate person. I've made a lot of fantastic friendships and enough money doing this to put two daughters through Mother McAuley and the University of Illinois. I could tell you 1,000 stories about this place, and 999 would be happy ones.
"Closing is just economics. Nothing can go on forever. But I'm not going to sell the bar stool out from under a patron having a beer."

Tonight: Zinester and graphic novelist Cristy Road at the Denver Zine Library
Cristy Road is a queer punk-rocker radical feminist Cubana artist and writer; her career as a 'zinester dates back to the 7th grade and a time when she struggled with personal gender and identity issues, masking over her true feelings with a combination of deep-felt loneliness and an obsession with the band Green Day. And it's Green Day that led her into the 'zine world."Medusa," by Cristy Road.
"I started my Green Day fanzine in 1996. I wanted to be in the punk community, to really contribute to its politics. Then, it snowballed, and I started to also do interviews of local band punk bands and stuff like that. I got a positive response, so I started being more open with with my identity, and I became more political. The last two issues of Green'Zine were about mental health and the community response to violence that happens in queer communities."
The increasingly politicized Road graduated from the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, and eventually landed in Brooklyn, with new ideas boiling. Though she loved the milieu of the Xerox machine, she was ready to move on.
"I was at a turning point in life. I had just moved to New York City, and started thinking, 'I want this to have a spine. I want it to be accessible outside of a small community. So it became a book. It seemed like the biggest opportunity for me to set myself apart from the DIY punk lifestyle as a writer -- though that is still my lifestyle." That urge turned into her first illustrated paperback book, the autobiographical Indestructible.
"Ten of Swords," Cristy Road.
"Then I went on the Sister Spit tour, and it was so amazing: There were all these great queer writers, and it had a summer camp feeling to it. I learned so much about myself and how I can still be real to myself and my politics and still progress as a writer."

Becta refers Microsoft to the UK Office of Fair Trading
Becta, the UK government's education technology agency, has today made a complaint to the UK Office of Fair Trading (OFT) for alleged anti-competitive practices by Microsoft in the schools software marketplace and in relation to Microsoft's approach to document interoperability.
An interim report published by Becta in January 2007 into Microsoft's Academic Licensing arrangements highlighted a number of fundamental concerns impacting on choice, competition in the marketplace and value for money for schools. Since the publication, Becta has been in discussions with Microsoft to secure the changes necessary to address the issues identified in both reports. Some progress has been made, though a number of fundamental issues remain unresolved. These centre around the limitations Microsoft places on schools using its subscription licensing arrangements and the potential interoperability difficulties for schools, pupils and parents who wish to use alternatives to Microsoft's Office suite, including 'free to use' alternatives.
Becta is determined to get the best deal it can for schools and for the wider educational system, and to make it as cost-effective and convenient as possible for educational customers to acquire the ICT products and services they choose. This demands an effective educational ICT marketplace and the avoidance of impediments to effective competition and choice.
As no agreement has been reached with Microsoft in a number of key areas, and after reviewing detailed legal advice, Becta has taken the decision to make a complaint to the Office of Fair Trading. It is hoped that by taking this step Microsoft will move promptly to address the issues raised.
In the interim, Becta's advice to schools considering moving to Microsoft's School Agreement subscription licensing model is that they should not do so. Schools must be legally licensed for all the software they are using, and if licensing Microsoft products is an imperative they should consider using a perpetual agreement such as 'Select' until such time as the OFT have responded to the complaint.
Microsoft is currently attempting to promote its proprietary OOXML format as an international document standard parallel to the free ODF standard. After failing to do so in the first round of voting by international standards organizations, Microsoft has until February to make changes (see the separate Linux Magazine news item here).

Autumn O'Bryan, principal, said the school has been looking for a way to honor alumni for some time now.
"The biggest thing for us is we are looking at a way to highlight the education foundation which comes from Cleveland High School. There are so many success stories which have come from [CHS] and we think our students need to see those stories," O'Bryan said.
She said it was also important for the community and CHS alumni to see the success coming out of Cleveland High.
Eric Phillips, athletic director, spoke with several representatives from schools with halls of fame in the Chattanooga area. Phillips and O'Bryan then pitched the idea to Martin Ringstaff, city schools director.
Ringstaff encouraged them to present the idea to the Cleveland Board of Education.
School board members approved the idea with a motion made by Richard Shaw and seconded by Peggy Pesterfield.
"I think this is a fantastic idea," said Dawn Robinson, board member. "We are very proud of our students in the community."
The first hall of fame ceremony will take place in the fall. A school assembly will be held to honor the first inductees into the hall. They will also be presented briefly at a home football game. Nominations for this year's hall of fame recipients will close on May 1.
Anyone interested in nominating either themselves or someone else may do so by going to chsraiders.com. A link is attached to the main page under the banner and home tab. Clicking on the link directs users to a page with the hall's mission statement, criteria, nomination process and selection.
A hall of fame nomination form can be found at the bottom of the page. Any Cleveland High alumni can be nominated for the hall.
"We really want a variety. The whole point of the hall of fame is to show our students it does not matter where you come from," O'Bryan said. "You may be the smartest and brightest and intend to be a doctor before completely changing your path."
Continued O'Bryan, "You may be a student who struggles to find their way in high school before leaving and finding your niche in something completely admirable and worthy of acknowledgement."
It does not matter so much who a person was in high school as it does who they have become.
"We also hope to have variations of the type of nominees. We certainly want businessmen and doctors, but we also want humanitarians, volunteers and folks who have contributed to their community," in other ways, O'Bryan said.
The hall of fame selection committee wants hall of fame recipients to display four characteristics: the heart of a Raider, sound character, outstanding achievement, and a life of service.
"We would like our applicants to be able to say they have had outstanding achievement, even if they have never worked a day of their life, but they have volunteered for years," O'Bryan said.
Selection committee members include two teachers, two school administrators, two district administrators and two alumni. All nominations will remain anonymous until the final ones have been voted upon.
O'Bryan said she is confident a solid committee with folks who really love Cleveland High and its history has been formed.
There will be several inducted into the first hall of fame this fall. Other schools with halls of fames said the first year always has the most nominations. O'Bryan and the committee are actively encouraging members of the community to make their nominations.
Current students will also be a part of the process.
"Students will be involved in the planning, research and writing of the recipients' stories," O'Bryan said. "They will gain something from the process, as well."
Nominations will no longer be accepted after May 1, 2013 for this year's inductees.

Update: Bart Layton and Jon Ronson will also be joined by a surprise special guest for the Q&A
Director: Bart Layton. UK 2012. 99 mins.
In 1994 the disappearance of 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay rocked his Texan town to its core. Without any clue to his whereabouts, the ensuing search looked like a lost cause. But his family kept hoping and praying and, more than three years later, they got their miracle. Nicholas was found halfway around the world, living on the streets in Spain, leading to the most unlikely and emotional of reunions.
But all was not as it seemed. Nicholas looked and sounded decidedly different. Stranger still – why did his family seemingly not notice these glaring inconsistencies? It is only when an investigator starts asking questions that this astounding true story takes an even more extraordinary turn. With its jaw-dropping twists and revelations more reminiscent of film noir than documentary, THE IMPOSTER (15) rivals 2010's CATFISH for pure unscripted thrills, while evoking classic identity thrillers such as THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY.

Your brother is about to get a wonderful Christmas surprise. I would also love to hear about his reaction. Good job, great sister! |
I am so happy for you! I know it feels great to have both quilts done AND going to people who will appreciate them and cherish them. I echo the earlier statements: beautiful quilts and a great use of fabric! Now I need to make a snowglobe quilt! Kate |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Mon, Dec 12, 11 at 8:31
Thank you all ~ I have to admit, I am excited about their reactions. I Have been sending my niece a Sno~Globe for every occasion since she was a baby. She will be 17. She has so many, they bought her a Curio Cabinet to display her collection. Our family tradition is to open 1 gift on Christmas Eve - mine is always the gift. They probably tell my sister her gift is the gift & call her as well :). She is expecting 1 Sno~Globe as usual. The box will be the same size. It will most definitely be a surprise. She is pure girly teenager - I know she will treasure this forever! The crab quilt- my Brother had Chesapeake Bay Blue crabs air shipped for my SIL's birthday after I emailed him a simple picture of our crab catch and dinner. They have been gone so long....they were picking their crabs on a table cloth, with the plates and settings like it was a regular dinner! All of us....emailed back "What's with the plates?" When I saw this fabric - it has Blue crabs - and red crabs(they turn red after steaming) and all the equipment associated with our crabs - even the fake Old Bay seasoning --I had to get it for them. I paid too much....waited over a year to cut into, wanting it to be the right choice. I am very please and excited! He is my younger brother-his memory of me is always sewing. And he will appreciate and love this quilt like no one else. Yes-I know these gifts are the best ones I am giving. The back of the Sno~Globe Quilt reminds me of "Hollywood Squares". LOL - Anyone remember that game show? |
I love them!! You put so much thought n love into them I know they will love them :) |
They are both wonderful! Congratulations on finishing them! Donna |

Marsha, Great work on the quilts. You've done an excellent job of putting the interests of the receivers, plus memories, into the quilts. I can feel the excitement coming through your posts about giving the quilts and knowing they'll be loved. SharonG/FL (another snow globe lover) |
They are both wonderful quilts Marsha. What a great job you did picking out just the right fabrics. You must be so excited to see their reaction. |
I lived in Baltimore for almost 7 years and after reading your comments I am pining for crabs!!! Yes, cooked with lots of Old Bay and tossed on paper for picking. Mmmmmm...... Kate |
Marsha, I love them - especially the snow globe one. I especially love the meanings behind each quilt. Now, I just have to ask, you seriously free-handed the crabs? How do you have that much control? The stitches and lines are perfect! Are you an artist? Do you doodle crabs? Great Job! Karlene |
- Posted by lafonda_ranch (My Page) on Wed, Dec 14, 11 at 8:13
Wow!! I love it when a gift can be so unique for the person receiving it. Please let us know their reactions when they see them. Your crab quilting is awesome, too!! You must be busting waiting for their reactions, I would be :-) Robbi |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Wed, Dec 14, 11 at 9:15
I am definitely not an artist! I quilt with a 9" throat regular Pfaff on a frame. I practice-practice-practice! I have very limited space, in the room, as well as the available quilting space inside the arm of the machine. I cannot seem to follow a template or markings, but I can learn to stitch a motif freehand like the crab. I've had to teach myself, so I read alot, and watch You Tube for tips and hints. Robbi-I think your machine is similar to the one I use-if I recall.(I may be wrong) Again, thanks for sharing my enthusiasm. The pictures of your quilts all of you have shared here on this forum is the bug that bit me and gave me inspiration to learn how to quilt. |
- Posted by quiltingfox (My Page) on Wed, Dec 14, 11 at 13:56
I love your quilts. I especially love the free-handed crabs on the Crab Feast quilt, that's really cool!!! Learning how to free-hand on quilts is something that I aspire to do, but so far have done mostly structural seams and stenciling when I quilt all 3 layers together. I love this forum and seeing everyone's quilts. Thank you for sharing your quilts with us! Best to you, |

Those are wonderful, Marsha. I'm so glad to see the finished snow-globe. You did a great job on both. I know they'll be cherished. Linda |
It's wonderful when you can make a quilt that will be cherished by the receiver and a surprise to top it off as well! Fantastic effort and well done. Kristene |
