8 Stuyvesant St, New York, NY | Directions 1000340.729808 -73.989193
Daily 7pm-2:30am
Neighborhoods: Downtown, East Village
This secret gem is the home to a very intimate, charming restaurant and bar. You'll impress anyone you bring here. Plus, the martinis are to jump for joy about!
Situated in one of the best corners of downtown, right off historic Stuyvessant Street, this Japanese cocktail bar is low-key, cool, and vaguely exotic. The drinks aren't necessarily better than nearby craft cocktail standbys like PDT or The Beagle, but there's a certain elan here, and a view, that its rivals can't boast of.
Exquisite cocktail lounge tucked behind a restaurant with charming views makes this speakeasy a must visit!
There are rules people, abide by them and this place rocks; spring sling was amazing!
The place has somewhat intimate hush hush sense with its rather hidden entrance. Small space so come here if you are in for a smaller group or drink date and want to have a nice leisure talk
For the drink quality, it's standard.
Angel Share - DO NOT GO – hard to write a review when you are asked to leave before your are seated. DO NOT GO to this rude establishment. We ( 3 couples) had the audacity to arrive when they were virtually empty at 6:30 on a Saturday night. We were asked to leave - no actually dismissed. I don't care how good the cocktails are. No patron should be treated this way. There are many other establishments that deserve - and would welcome your business.
Recent Review are Right - what happend to this iconic east village bar!?!?!? – This place used to be such a civilized place in midst of the craziness of the east village. now, it is just another bar - mobbed by the masses and has lost any sense of caring. There I was, with a date, ordered drinks, the bartenders were having a loud birthday party for our waiter (never this kind of staff partying before.) The birthday boy takes my check and decides i didn't tip enough (my bad, i did the math wrong, i always tip well) he explains things poorly, in the tone that bitter bartenders use in tourist places. Not cool. (i then made the correction) But, he then makes the point again to my date while i am in the restroom. Totally not right - and especially for a place that used be known for being discreet. I hate to say it, but another piece of the east village is gone forever.
Grabbed by the neck, thrown out and called a f*ggot – My friend is a total flame. His feet never touch the ground. We went out for drinks. They said--we'll seat you at a 4-top. If another couple comes, you have to share. Not a problem. We sat side by side (see flame description). A foursome came, they told us we had to move. We said: our drinks just arrived, I'm eating my first chicken wing and we don't want to move. You said share, not total displacement.
5 minutes later: You have to move. Another foursome arrived. I said: cancel the order and send us the check. I returned the other appetizer, uneaten. I paid--debit card (foreshadowing). Confronted at the door with-- Why didn't you tip? I said--tipping is for good service, which is not what we got.
30 seconds: raging beefy bartender, glasses, anger from about ten years comes from nowhere, grabs me by the neck and throws me out. My friend comes flying after us. Bartender screams--f*ggot, f*ggot, 5 more times. My friend gives him the finger. I come out of shock, realize what just happened and lunged. My friend--a flamer with a lot of muscle--grabs me by the throat and hoists me out.
Here's the kicker: the next day, I see that my account has been debited $20 in addition to the tab.
E Village bar scene is thick and varied enough that you don't have to support these gangsters, if nothing else, out of solidarity. I'm sure the story is lopsided (they have their own crappy version) but violence is never a good thing--esp. to a customer! Hello!
What happened to this once great bar? – I walked in one night with a date after a few month hiatus. I noticed right away, things have changed, they had someone at the door taking names. They never had a host before, I know because I've been patronizing angel's share for over 8 years and I've come to know the staff quite well. Once I got seated, I looked for some familiar staff. Unfortunately, the staff are all new faces. They all look like they play in a japanese punk rock band because of their wild hair. The only reason I knew they were staff was because they were wearing the traditional Angel's share uniform. However, some of the staff had their ties loosened with a few shirt buttons left open,and their ties were not even straight. They looked very unprofessional. Since I was already here, might as well order a drink. This is where I noticed it was not the same. The servers and bartenders are slow, took almost 20 minutes for someone to take our order and then it took another 20 minutes or so to get our drinks. I was there for almost an hour before I got my first sip of alcohol... I know it was a busy night but it should not take this long. All this would be forgivable if the service was friendly. Well, that was not the case. No one ever came back to check on our table. The server never smiled and never even said a Thank You when he gave us the check. I had to explain to my date that this was not the same place that I used to adore. Is there anyone that can explain to me what happened to Angel's Share? What happened to the old staff? Is it under a new ownership that took over the business? Is it still even called Angel's Share because it definitely feels like a different bar?
Pretentious and Rude. Spend your beer money at Village Yokocho instead – I've been here a total of 4 or 5 times but after the way my friends and I were turned away the last 2 times, I refuse to come back ever again. The place is a narrow and has very limited seating, so they impose 2 rules: all customers must be seated, and no groups larger than 4. If you are unaware of these rules, or have temporarily forgotten, the staff will let you know in no uncertain terms, in a rude and condescending manner. This is a stark difference from how Japanese staff treat people in Japan, where I lived for 3 years. This isn't posted on the entrance and the staff will make sure you feel like a total idiot if you don't know.
The appeal of this place is that it's Japanese. It's a Japanese western-style bar. Other than that, there's nothing particular interesting about this place other than the Japanese chic factor if that's what you're into.. and possibly the Michaelangelo-ish painting of two baby angels. For my $, I'll go someplace less uppity and pretentious, since there is little else of redeeming value.
You will have much better time at the izakaya/restaurant just outside, called Village Yokocho, which is decidedly down-to-earth and more blue-collar. You can laugh it up in a big group over beers and yakitori and not have to worry about looking "proper". Try the tako-wasabi if you dare. Quite tasty!
mature, classy; stands out in contrast from the hectic collegiate establishments nearby – Whether you sit at the bar or get a more comfortable seat in the back, Angel's Share is a great place for intimate conversation - and just to talk. The cocktails are great!... try the shiso leaf cocktail. Only problem is that there's almost always a wait.
Angel's Share bartenders moving on – Hello everyone, I am a senior bartender at Angel's share and I would like to share some news with all of you. My manager at Angel's share is opening up a new bar in May 2007 called B-Flat located in Tribeca. The address is 277 Church street. All the bartenders that work in Angel's share including myself, will be leaving Angel's Share and will be joining him in this new venture. If you love angel's share, you will love this new bar. Please pay us a visit if you are in the neighborhood. On behalf of all the bartenders working in Angel's Share, it has been a great pleasure serving all of you. Thank you.
Excellent service – I went to Angel's Share with a couple of out of town friends last night after a play. I heard good things, but I never had been there before. I was a bit concerned that it may have been too hyped and I would disappoint my guests. Fortunately, that couldn't be further from the truth. The place was classy, the food and drinks were delicious, and the service was amazing! If you're looking for an intimate, comfortable lounge with class to spend quality conversation time, then this is place.
Good date place – I've heard mixed thing about here, mostly great cocktails and rude service. Personally I found the cocktails to be great... as well as the service. The caiparinah was tasty even if the didn't have my favorite cachcha and the fried oysters were a good snack. The Oysters had full flavor, the potato salad served with it was nice, but oddly there was no potato flavor, but the seasoning and cucumbers in there made up for it.
it was busy but not to noisy to talk and there a nice view looking out over stuyvent.

I prefer Athena because it's strong, feminine and full of life. I'd be excited to meet an Athena.
I'll just be honest and say I'd have a more positive image of what Athena's parents might be like to Serenity's because it doesn't have the same classy feel about it.
I don't mind Quinn but I'd assume Quinn was a boy.
Seraphina would be gorgeous but I don't like Seraphin, it needs the 'a' on the end for me.

A little while ago, I managed to get in contact with a number of witnesses to the Columbine shooting who had reported in their interviews with government "investigators" events which contradicted the official narrative. Their accounts variously described additional gunmen, for instance, whom they were able to name by name and who, they insisted to police over repeated interviews, were absolutely on-scene as perpetrators. Many of these "alternative" accounts were independently corroborated by other witnesses, sometimes by the dozen.
There were six of these witnesses who communicated to me in all, all of whom wish to remain anonymous for now. In contacting them, I sent a link to my video, "The Columbine Cause," and asked them if they had any comments on the version I portrayed, which had been based off of their recorded testimonies and others', versus the official version. Below is what they told me, in which I have removed all details which could be used to identify them.
1) Witness A confirmed that he was who I was looking for but did not reply further.
2) Witness B confirmed that he was who I was looking for but would only comment if paid:
I apologize, but I don't do FREE interviews on this subject. Best of luck to you with this project.
I was therefore not certain that he would be giving reliable information and did not pursue the matter further.
3) Witness C replied,
"I will need sometime to think about this question Evan. It has been ten years and at some point in your life, you think about how to move on. I will be in touch after I watch the video and think about how to respond"
He did not send any further correspondence and did not reply to follow-up inquiries.
4) Witness D initially replied and then no response was given to a follow-up. Upon receiving a second follow-up, he gave the following response:
"I am so sorry Evan. I was thinking about it and then a lot was going on and I forgot that you wanted to talk with me. Honestly, it has taken me a very long time to get over my fears (only within the last couple of years) and I have blocked out most of the details of what happened as it helped me cope not to remember. I have only read bits and pieces of what was released to the public and only within the last year have I seen the photo of Eric and Dylan deceased on the floor. I don't think that I want to bring up any of those memories when my life is normal again. I really hope that you understand."
5) When I told Witness E who I was, sent him my video, and specifically asked about his testimony as reflected in the government documents, he replied by sending me his phone number and telling me,
"I'm interested in what you have found, i'm willing to talk."
I don't know what he had in mind to tell me when he wrote this but once I had him on the line, things turned difficult quickly. After greetings were exchanged, the conversation, which lasted approximately fifteen minutes, proceeded as follows:
WE: I'm really hesitant about talking. I'm kind of curious as to what you have. I don't want my name in any book or anything like that. I'm happy to give you information but I don't want my name on anything.
EL: Sure.
WE: So as long as you can guarantee me my name's not going to be on anything, I'm okay with giving you any information I have. I mean, it was ten years ago, so…
EL: Well, absolutely, I will not use your name if you don't want me to. You're the first person I've talked to so I'm kinda new at this. I'll give you a little background on me and why I'm doing this and where I'm coming from?
WE: Okay.
EL: Basically, I'm a researcher is how this all started. When the "War on Terror" started, I was alarmed by it and I also thought that there was probably more to what was going with that than we were told so I started researching the background of that and along the way, I started tuning into alternative media and came across Columbine researchers talking about these government files where witnesses, lots of them, were talking about other shooters. So, I became really interested and decided to, well, I read the files and then decided to put something together to kind of present this publicly and see if anybody was interested in, if there was a cover-up, which it seemed there was, in breaking that. The primary interest is in having these things not happen anymore, obviously. So basically, we have this one story of why Columbine, you know, why the shootings happened. I'm not sure that that's really the right story and if we're trying to get to the root of why these things happen, I think that we probably have to go another route. So that's where, I guess, that's where you come in. I made this video two years ago and did a couple of interviews and articles to promote it and a lot of people are interested now. A lot of people watched it and said, gee, that was a lot of witnesses who said Robert Perry was there, or that Chris Morris was there, or Brian Sargent or whatever. And people are going, okay, so what really happened? All we really have are these government files which are five or six page interview summaries with people so I figure, enough time has gone by and people are interested in this; why don't I contact some of the people who were there and see if you have anything to add to what we read in the interviews. I don't suppose you've ever read your files from the police reports?
WE: I started to. I just became less interested.
EL: Okay, basically what they have you as saying is that you were — and if this is upsetting or anything just tell me to –
WE: You've given me two reasons as to why you're doing that. You've — that's two different things as to why you're doing it. What's the reason you're doing this? Is it to uncover something; is it the public interest?
EL: Yeah, it's public interest, basically. I mean, these acts of terrorism — I'm skeptical that we're getting the full story and I think it is in the public interest that we get the full story. That's about it. I mean, as far as why I picked up on Columbine in particular, it seemed like there's so much evidence and nobody was covering it. So that's why I got into it. But yeah, it's a public interest thing. I don't personally know anybody there or anything like that.
WE: Okay. In that case, I'm more willing to promote the survival of the victims and the victims' families as opposed to public interest. I don't believe in harping on the negative as to what happened. I believe that the media keeps doing that; it's going to keep focusing on the negative facts and I'm sure there's a lot that's untold to the public but there's probably a reason for that. I'm involved in a very government, you know, family. I have a [government employee] as a [family member] and et cetera. My [other family member's] in [a government job] so I believe in what they do. I'm not saying it's right; I'm just saying there's probably a reason, whether it's for our best judgement or not, it's their judgement. If you're doing this, I firmly believe you should do it to show what good came out of this. To show the bad and what was covered up isn't going to help anybody. Yeah, it's going to grab the media's attention for a minute and society's going to look at it for a little bit but that's just wrong. That's gonna hurt a lot of people and I'm not willing to help that.
EL: All right, well, can I ask you, in your statement, it said that you were almost positive that there was another, at least another person involved, shooting that day, as did [...] other people who said the same guy. I mean, that –
WE: The cops actually have a timeline of the exact moment where he was that day so that was my mistake.
EL: So you would say then, there were people who were very insistent who also knew this guy. It said [...] you also were acquaintances with Harris and Klebold and you were pretty sure it wasn't them whereas his alibis were [... weak].
WE: Yeah, that would be my alibis, too. Who would be yours?
EL: Well, I don't know but again, the interest here was that so many people put him there and some of them were adamant that it was neither of the two official accused. He wasn't the only one that people said.
WE: I'm not willing to hurt my fellow classmates reliving this. I would happily do this if you were there to say, "Hey, this was covered up but hey, this is the good that came out of it. This is ten years later; this is how society improved," but you're not and I'm not willing to help you. I don't think that's right and you're going to make people and families of the victims, of survivors relive so much that they don't have to and you can retell me my statement — trust me, I know it word for word; I had to give it a few times.
EL: I don't understand what you're saying. Could you –
WE: If you make this book and if you're going to do it, do it but people are gonna read this and be like, "Oh, there's a cover-up." Okay, fine; the general society doesn't understand. The average person has not been through a horrific event like that but you know, whether it be Columbine, whether it be the friggin' Trade Center, they're gonna look at this and be, like, reliving it ten years later. That's not awesome; that's terrible. I was very hesitant in talking to you but knowing the victims, I thought, "Hey, this may bring something awesome out of this. He may make this amazing book showing that, yeah, there was this cover-up, this could happen but there's a conspiracy theory to everything. To suppress what could be this journalistic expedition for you is, you're focusing on the wrong aspect; you're focusing on fifteen minutes of fame and I'm not willing to help with that and whoever one of my classmates are is ashamed.
EL: Well, what would you suggest — I mean, you're saying, "what good came of it." What would you suggest?
WE: I, what good came of this? Law enforcement so much is more adept to look for red flags and yes, sometimes will go to extremes of looking at every single red flag but you know what? Sometimes, it needs to be done. [... Teachers are more likely to say,] "What students need help; what ones don't?" Parents are probably more adept to what their students are feeling. Not every parent but maybe one parent changed. People are a lot more aware. It brought me closer to my family in general. I mean, I was a high-schooler who thought [I] knew everything, obviously, at [that age]. It brought me a lot closer to my family at the time. I mean, you view society a little bit differently. It made the whole town look a little bit differently at each other and kind of open your arms to each other. It made this town a little bit tighter. It made society look at what was wrong and how to fix it. Yeah, it may not be fixed but there's options and there's people that are aware of this. [...] There's a lot that came out of it and that's just off the top of my head; I had long work day [...]. So, there's a lot that came out of this and if you're just focusing on the cover-up of this, I'm not willing to incriminate people that I have absolutely no proof as to where they were that day, I — it's something that was ten years ago in fifteen minutes of gunfire. I, as I told the sheriff that day, I can't be a hundred percent as to what I saw but here's what I feel I saw. I trust my eyes, I trust my judgement but they've proven me wrong before and I'm not willing to incriminate people or have people intervene in their lives for ten years later. They've moved past this and if they're guilty, karma will come around; due day will come; punishment will come. It's not me to put that on. So, that's my feelings; I'm sorry I couldn't help. I thought this was different.
EL: No, that's okay. My concern was that, also in looking at this, was that if this was the kind of cover-up that I and some of my colleagues suspect it was, this might not have been an isolated incident and that some of the other large events might have been arranged in a similar kind of way. In other words, if there was something bigger behind what happened, and that the reason why it was blamed on just the two kids who wouldn't be talking and that the others were excluded to protect the truly guilty behind it —
WE: Why would somebody protect the guilty? What's the point of that? What comes of that? What good comes of protecting the guilty?
EL: Well, that's a good question. Again, I'm looking at it and asking questions where things look suspicious. It looked to me and to others like if that were the case, this might not be the only event of its kind and that there may be more in the future. Virginia Tech, for example, had a lot of questions around that, too, and so people are looking for –
WE: Of course it was similar. He studied the case on Columbine so yeah, just like any serial killer, they've studied other criminals. They're gonna have similarities.
EL: Well, more than that, suspicious as to how the authorities acted with regard to the case and more of that type of question. There was another incident in Australia in 1996 where there's also very serious questions about whether there was a larger group involved in that and if that is the case, are these people still operating and capable of doing another one. That's where, I mean, this is not an angle that gets pursued in the media pretty much ever but it is something that was going around the alternative media and among some independent researchers whose work I studied and thought it was worth some merit at least considering. Like I said, you're the first I've spoken to from the situation so I honestly am not very up on how people feel about it or if everyone believes there are people who were guilty but got off or not; I don't know. I do know that some of the witnesses refused to say, no, to say that they were unsure. They were absolutely positive that most of the rest of those trench coat kids were involved in it, plus an adult. There were several witnesses in the science areas who all described — one girl produced a sketch — an older guy. So again, looking at it, I'm an outsider just looking at it through the window of these police interviews but that's serious if there were other people involved that either got away through ineptness or if someone deliberately covered that up. Were the people covering that up knowingly working on the behalf of that group, and I guess that's where the really serious questions start and that's ultimately, I would say, my aim and where the real public interest is, is, "Is there a powerful group of criminals orchestrating these crimes for some gain?" Now, that's not something you hear often and you know what, it might not be the case. But I guess that's my ultimate thesis in this situation and I'm glad that you have taken the time to talk to me and give me your thoughts about this.
WE: Well, I'm sorry I couldn't help. Thank you.
EL: All right.
WE: Bye.
EL: Bye.
6) Witness F was, without a doubt, the most forthcoming. He told me the following:
"I have a hard time watching your entire video. I watched 5 min. I saw too much that day, plain and simple. I have been told I could and would easily disappear if I tried to expose what happened that day. I was locked inside that building [for hours] with the teacher [Dave Sanders] that died, risked my life to save him and he still died. I lost [...] friends [...] and had many friends seriously injured. [...] I was O. C. D. trying to save myself from death at [such a young age]. I was also told by the police and investigators that I [...] was the most credible witness that day: However, I did not see [...] this and [...] that! [...] Everything I said happened in those 4 hours, the police have evidence of happening within 2 minutes of when I say it happened. They only denied my credibility after celebrating my accounts as true and belittling me and my mother to our faces! My mom taught me to "Pay attention to time, location, and description." She taught me that it pays to pay attention. This time it didn't pay it cost me. I am a potential threat to those guilty and still living. They cannot make up their minds of what is right and wrong, they've been sucked into to the evil [...]. I want to write a book, and have since it happened, but know too many reasons not to [publish it], like my family saying it risks my life. It still plagues me that my friends were forced to leave me while those sickened minds who killed them still walk [among] us. I want peace without being a martyr! I love and so I am lovable! What makes that so hard?!!! My protectors betrayed me, deeply. Would die for the truth, but want to live for the beauty of my lost friends memory and most important power of LOVE!"
To all of the witnesses I contacted, including those who may not have replied at all, I hope I presented myself in a manner that was respectful to your satisfaction. I do truly appreciate the difficulty imposed on you by the experience of the shooting, the events preceding it and its aftermath and wish you only the best in your recovery.

"It's all about the kids!"
The summer therapy camp program is the heart of what we do here at Bay Cliff. We are planning for our 81st consecutive summer!
Each summer approximately 180 children come through the gate at Bay Cliff for a summer filled of therapy and camping fun. They come with the dreams of walking, talking, playing, and taking care of themselves just like any other child. Helping them in this pursuit is a staff of dedicated camp counselors and therapists, instructors and nurses, and support personnel numbering 130. They provide the children with supervision & love, therapy & classes, activities & meals, and all the services to keep camp in good running order. During the seven week long camp session, progress towards goals of greater independence is incredible.
The teen campers have been on their way to pursuing their dreams for many summers. Others, like the preschoolers, are just beginning. Several campers increase their strength to go longer distances using a walker. One leaves her wheelchair to walk with crutches. Others learn ways to independently brush teeth, style hair, or put on a shirt. One performs a wet exit from an adapted kayak for the very first time. Some stand through the flag ceremony with the aid of one crutch instead of two. Another learns more than 30 new vocabulary words in sign language. A boy learns to feed himself with a special spoon; a girl tells jokes with a computer that speaks for her. Many fashion crafts with their hands that they have never made before. They play new games and enjoy fun twists on old games. They learn to care for the environment around them and the curious critters in it. Everyone advances in those old-fashioned values of manners, sharing, helping each other, and taking turns!

Baseball-All-Starlytics: Curtis Granderson: What a difference a year makes
"The Grandy Man can."
Yes, we're all sick of hearing that during Yankee radio casts but the truth is, Curtis Granderson can rake.
Were it not for the beast numbers of Adrian Gonzalez and Jose Bautista, not to mention Asdrubal Cabrera's season, we would be hearing chants of "MVP!, MVP!" at the Stadium
We have written in these pages in praise of Yankee batting coach Kevin Long whose work with Granderson has produced remarkable results. But you really need to see the numbers to appreciate the contrast.
What a difference a year makes
Let's compare Curtis Granderson's 2010 through July 5 to Grandy's 2011 season through July 5.
Granderson to July 5, 2010
On the morning of July 6, 2010, Curtis Granderson was hitting .228 with seven homers and 23 RBI. He was slugging .411. He was hitting .192 against lefties with one homer and 22 total bases and 23 strikeouts (more strikeouts than total bases can't be good).
Granderson to July 5, 2011
First look at the difference in the map. He was getting destroyed at this point last year on the outer portion of the plate. High and away (in the strike zone) and low and away were ways of getting him out. That's no longer the case.
Now, look at the difference in his numbers: On the morning of July 6, 2011, Curtis Granderson is hitting .278 (I'm no math genius but I think that's 50 points higher) with 25 homers and 62 RBI. He is slugging .597. He is hitting .260 against lefties with nine homers and 63 total bases and 31 strikeouts (over twice as many total bases as whiffs is very good).
A history making season in the making?
The last Yankee outfielder to hit over 40 homers was Reggie Jackson in 1980 when he hit 41. In fact, and I found this surprising, there really have been relatively few Yankee outfielders with over 40 homers in a season. Babe Ruth did it 10 times, Mickey Mantle four times, Reggie, Roger Maris and Joe DiMaggio did it once each.There have been 26 Yankees, who've played at any position, who have hit over 40 homers and driven in 100+ runs.
Right now, Granderson is en route to being the next, he could be number 27 on this list exhibiting the power of the '27 Yankees.

They said it couldn't be done. They said it would never happen. They said it would never work. Here is Omnibuses2.0's guide to 7+1 bus industry changes that in spite of predictions didn't flop. Feel free to add your own comments on these or other bus-related impossibles-that-proved-workable we might've missed.
1. Deregulation
The ultimate in sucking in of teeth and shaking of heads. The bus industry, local authorities, unions and even switched-on passengers all united against government plans to free the market. The urban trial area was chaotic, the others too rural to count. In the event, following a lengthy bedding-in period, deregulation has at least been successful in reducing costs, rejuvenating management, improving profitability and even growing the market. Considerable issues do, however, still remain - for some, at any rate.
2. Seat Belts
Operators felt they couldn't be fitted, wouldn't work and would actually cause more injury to passengers than without them. Road safety campaigners said they were fundamental in the transport of children. 15 years on, it's hard to find a coach without belts and belted seats have become an important part of the passenger environment and, indeed, perception. Pity few pupils use them.
3. Super Low Floors
A highly sceptical operating industry simply didn't see the need (or wish to pay the price) for easy access buses. The earliest trials in Merseyside 15 years ago failed to convince. Then Wrightbus took up the challenge and the market first slowly and, when costs began to fall, quickly realised the growth associated with SLFs. Forget the chair-users for whom the concept was designed, it was parents with buggies, passengers with luggage and generally everyone being able to board easily and swiftly that made the difference. Did need a nudge from disability legislation.
4. Urban Minibuses
Cynics abounded within the nationalised and even newly privatised operating industry, as managers felt uneasy at replacing a double deck with several 16 seat Ford Transits. There was capital and labour costs, premature depreciation, concerns of longevity and the peak-loading question. It didn't take long for the growth potential of up to 25 per cent, or their use to further or stem competition, to cement the minibus as the most important tool of the 1980s. Initially required a push from National Bus HQ to get the wheels rolling.
5. Rear-engined Double Decks
Engineers were more than content with uncomplicated front-engined double decks and traffic departments could never foresee a period when conductors would be truly surplus. And, anyway, no one felt the law would allow one person decker operation. This was in the mid- to late-1950s. Cost pressures, falling revenue but still with significant peaks resulted in a trickle of rear-engined double decks becoming a flood. Helped along by a change of law and bus grant.
6. Smoking on Buses
Buses and smoking somehow went together like chassis & body or driver & conductor. There were all sorts of socio-economic reasons why this should be. Smoking was for years relegated to the upper deck on deckers and, not at all satisfactorily to the rear of single decks. It was as well that many British bus roofs of the time were already coloured cream. Operators began offering smoke free minis in the mid-1980s then all buses from the very early 1990s, "for the sake of all our passengers", as the publicity would say. The resultant passenger furore suggested no one couldn't manage 30 minutes let alone over an hour without a ciggie. Indeed, for many years, passengers continued to sneak a puff, till opinion switched to favour non-smokers, who began to speak up. Smoking passengers are now rare indeed.
7. Wheelchairs on Coaches
No one travelling in a wheelchair uses a coach, right? Such notions, though definitely present, didn't last long. The real issue, though, was manufacturers trying to find a way of accommodating satisfactorily the often-complicated engineering solutions required, while also trying to maintain the aesthetics of the vehicle. There were initially a few clunky conversions but, thankfully, body builders have found ingenious (though expensive) solutions. Still a perception that beyond express services the market for disabled people is small and fragmented.
7+1 London's Low Emissions Zone
There's still anger among operators that TfL will shortly impose unacceptably high emission standards within the capital. With all buses converted to modest emissions standards, LEZ will from February 2008 affect the tour and private hire market, whose proprietors feel constrained by the additional costs imposed on them. As Euro emission standards cascade, LEZ becomes less of an issue. And now it's not just London whose enthusiasm for emission standards is strong. Cambridge is considering it too. Watch these spaces and expect more hoping to join.

7+1 Impossibles
They said it couldn't be done. They said it would never happen. They said it would never work. Here is Omnibuses2.0's guide to 7+1 bus industry changes that in spite of predictions didn't flop.

Cannot argue with most of the 7, but don't think wheelchair accessible coaches can be deemed to be a success just yet - still too few and far between.
The trial by Nat Ex on Bath to London saw virtually no users so when it was needed the lifts often failed through lack of use !! And the big batch of accessible Profiles for First Cymru was a resounding flop.

I have to agrtee with your list - but I could also suggest megabus? or is the jury still out on that one?
It does seem successful in most areas.
- 28 September, 2007 12:33
Super low floors can also be, as you do, described as easy access. However, I'm not sure they provide easy access to seats for less mobile people. Often the first proper seats are a third of the way down the bus - ok if the driver waits before setting off and ok if you can ring the bell and not get up till it has stopped.
Perhaps we should investigate another door, say at the back, and someone to keep an eye on passengers.....

It sounds like you are hinting at having low floor rear entrance buses, I always wondered though, what was wrong with disabled converting the Routemaster? I'm sure it would be possible to add lowering air suspension and a wheelchair ramp, and that equipment would be cheaper than a brand new bus! The ramp doesn't even have to be fitted to the platform, it can be stowed in the closet under the stairs.

- cogidubnus said...
I have to agree with the first two commenters - I reckon you got it just about right apart from including the wheelchair accessible coach (not enough custom to judge yet) and excluding megabus, (something most of us were extremely dubious about, but which against all odds seems to be working).
The one other thing I might add is kick-start...some said it was a rare lapse into fantasy on Brian Souter's part, but for the most part, where it's happened it's been a real revitaliser...
- 28 September, 2007 22:47
- Gene Hunt said...
Did my speech on disabled access for Routemasters sound a bit too stupid or is it just not practical? Cambridge is bringing in more Euro 4 engined buses, at the moment we have some Enviros and 8 Optare Solos, 4 of which have pranding promoting clean emission buses that don't smoke. Quite ironic really as they have all taken to belching out big clouds of smoke as the dirivers pull away!

On Routemasters
Ramps not an option and unworkable. Getting from the kerb to the platform is one thing but beyond that there's then a *huge* step to overcome to the lower saloon. Then there's the time involved. Nope, sorry.
On Megabus
Hmmm. I think Megabus was more likely to be a success than not.
On Kick Start
Yes, quite right. Forgot about that. Undoubtedly successful in spite of what we all felt at the time.
On Wheelchair coaches
I was approaching this from the engineering/feasibility angle. It works, though everyone seemed so sceptical. As to whether anyone uses it... but then again it's equitable that a lift is in place, surely.
- 29 September, 2007 04:50
- Gene Hunt said...
Ah. I forgot about the extra step and of course the distance from the bus to the ground.
- 29 September, 2007 11:49
- Gene Hunt said...
Still...It would be cheaper..?

Thoughts from the Rookie Tournament, Game 4
In the final game of the rookie tournament, the Leafs' rookies were beaten soundly — to the tune of 7-1 — by their Ontario rivals, the Ottawa Senators.
Although I was not able to attend this game in person, fellow Leafs die-harder 'Bell' was in attendance for all of the games and has kindly provided some thoughts about the action (or was it inaction?) at the Aud last night, and the tournament as a whole.

Accompaniment, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Cello, Classical Piano, Ear Training, Guitar, Music Theory, Piano, Upright Bass, Viola, Violin
I teach according to your individual needs. I help you become successful on piano, violin, viola, bass, guitar. I help you learn the instrument and learn to read music with my own ideas using fun worksheets and songs you really like to learn how to play. I fill your voids with activities such as practice techniques, sub-lessons, and ear training. I guide you toward proper posture, tone development, and the ability to keep a steady beat. I help you develop your musical independence by tweaking lessons to help you succeed. I believe talent is not a factor in learning. Mastering an instrument is the result of effective instruction and step by step guidance toward foundations and skills. I love to teach private lessons because I believe in spreading the word to make the great gift of playing music available to many. It is an inherited right and gift to enjoy a lifetime of personal satisfaction from playing a musical instrument. I love to help students build confidence and make progress. I help them problem solve by going through problems with them. I teach "how to think" and how to become a life long learner of the instrument. I love the challenge of finding ways to help students become successful at every step of the way. I am excited and enthused to be apart of student progress. I am influenced by many 20th Century performers including Van Cliburn, Oscar Peterson, George Shearing, Erroll Garner, Yudi Menuhin, Issac Stern and Horowitz among others. I am passionate in my teaching about providing an effective solution to my student's needs.
I am a professional educator who works with children and has the patience to help them. I am a performer who has over 30 years of public experience in solo playing as well as ensemble work. I have performed at Nordstrom for nine years, and performed at many private functions. I have performed classical as well as jazz music as part as my performance experience. I have taught private lessons for a total of nine years.
*** Lesson Details ***
I believe in personalizing your approach to the strangeness of the instrument. You need to learn much about posture, and proper tone production within the first year. Method books are not "how to" books. You need a teacher to guide you toward becoming familiar with the instrument. You also need to learn how to listen to the sounds you make as you play. To develop "musical independence" you need to become musically literate, develop tone production skills, and internalize a steady beat. Rhythm and tone are basic concepts that must be mastered to maximize pleasure in playing your instrument. Learning how to problem solve is another skill I teach so you can help yourself toward progress.
I believe in using the instrument in daily activities such as playing "Happy Birthday" at family get together. Christmas Songs or Hanukkah Songs can bring much joy during December family parties.
A musician in the house brings much joy during holidays and celebrations; and the families are brought closer together. Memories are created and last forever. Playing an instrument is exciting and expresses what can not be said using words. I believe in teaching students based on their strengths, and building upon them. I am excited to help you learn!!
You can advance quickly if you are taught to listen to yourself and use common sense, and make sense of the music theory I will teach you.I will guide you every step of the way to understand how music works. Music lessons are fun and enjoyable. I am pleased to guide you through your learning every step of the way. My students in Las Vegas have had much success with my teaching and guidance. I will succeed where others fail. You will reap the benefits of my professional instruction.

I have been active in the entertainment industry since the age of 12, when I gave my first professional performance. Prior to that I was already being introduced to music with years of guitar, and then vocal instruction. I do not remember a time of my life when I was not singing somewhere; in the house, in the yard, in the classroom. That is perhaps why I identify so well with the young people who gather so much enjoyment from "just singing" at every opportunity. I studied professionally for over 10 years with renown soprano and voice teacher Sylvia Jensen, who was instrumental in the enhancement of my vocal knowledge and technique. She is now the Director of Education for the Miss Ohio pageants of the Miss America competitions, elevating many young ladies to the national spotlight. At age 14, I auditioned for, and was added to cast of a network television variety program, "The Gene Carroll Show", that was a television institution for over 30 years in the midwest. I was a featured performer on that program for over 7 years, all the while perfecting the art of "playing to a camera." This experience was invaluable, and the knowledge I gathered is now included in my curriculum. I also began performing a solo act in the nightclub circuit at the age of 15, performing up and down the "northcoast" from Cleveland, OH, (my home), to Erie. PA. At a very young age, I learned the difficult art of choosing musical material and pacing a show; also adapting to performing under a myriad of conditions with a vast array of musical accompaniment. After graduating college with a degree in Business Administration and Marketing, I assembled my own band, and took to the road. That experience eventually brought the act to Las Vegas in 1982. Over the years my show has been a staple in major casino cabarets in Las Vegas, and all over Nevada. Since my first engagement at The Landmark Hotel in the early 1980's, I have literally been up and down the famed Las Vegas Strip many times over. The Desert Inn, The Dunes, The Stardust, The Maxim, The Tropicana, New York New York, Mandalay Bay, MGM, Bally's, The Flamingo, The Imperial Palace, The Four Queens, The Golden Nugget, The Fremont, The Venetian, The Palazzo, and a three year engagement at The Riviera. My show is truly comprised of musical variety; classics, showtunes, jazz, rock, blues, r&b, country. Even a presentation of "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera, that I perform in full costume. It is this ability to successfully deliver an extensive repertoire that I am enthusiastic about passing along to the next generation of entertainers.
I have been truly blessed in my career to have experienced so many highlights; too many to document. From winning an understudy roll in the Broadway Musical "Platinum" starring Hollywood actress Alexis Smith, to performing our National Anthem at events ranging from Major League Baseball to ESPN Boxing to receptions for major dignitaries, to recording 7 albums and a full-length video, to being asked to perform for Mr. Frank Sinatra at the Frank Sinatra Celebrity Golf Tournament, I have lived a full life on stage, learning and absorbing every bit of knowledge gathered along the way.
Now it is my desire to escalate my status as an educator to a more "one on one" experience; availing myself the opportunity to pass along that wealth of knowledge to individual students who aspire to enjoy the entertainment profession as I have, providing them with the skills needed to successfully compete. Or, should it be their choice not to pursue entertainment as a vocation, to gain a working understanding of all facets of their instrument so as to gain a better appreciation of music. Whatever the goal of the student, I feel that I am equipped to provide them with the tools needed to achieve that goal.
*** Lesson Details ***
Content of Sessions
Generally, the first 10-15 minutes of each lesson will be focused on vocal warmup and exercise. (For guitar students, we will review the previous
week's assignment). For Vocal Students, it is understood that the voice mechanism is made up of muscles, and as an athlete prepares for a sporting event, a singer must prepare to vocalize. It is at this time in our lesson when the student will develop good habits of voice maintenance, which will serve them well throughout their careers. The proper care and preservation of the vocal unit cannot be stressed enough, especially for pubescent and pre-pubescent students. Vocal chords in a developmental stage are most susceptible to damage, and because they are particularly sensitive, they must be handled with care. Our warm up regimen is designed to strengthen as well as preserve the singing voice.
I am not an advocate of getting too involved and "bogged down" in the technical aspects of singing, especially with the young students, and
especially early in our program. This is not to say that breath control, tonality, pitch, etc. are not vital to good singing, because these workings are ESSENTIAL, and their application will certainly be incorporated into our studies. Some instructors, on occasion, have a tendency to lose sight of the fact that much to do with singing happens "naturally", and too much focus on the "technical" can actually be inhibiting. This can alter a beautiful, natural tone into one that is unnatural and contrived.
I adhere to the philosophy that above all else, SINGERS WANT TO SING SONGS, and musicians-in-training want to play music. That is our focus, and all of our training is conceived with that objective in mind. All the technical knowledge and coaching serves no purpose without practical application. It is my belief that the most significant progress occurs when a vocalist is singing a song.
Nearly every element of instruction can be utilized in the performance of one song. This is why the majority of our session time will be spent "in song". For the very young student, we will concentrate our efforts with the students choices of favorite and familiar songs. The older students will undoubtedly have favorite songs, styles and artists. Special attention will be paid to the genre most enjoyed by the student, but diversity will be emphasized as well, and a variety of genres will be unpacked and explored. I believe that whatever a student's musical goals and aspirations, it is in their best interest to gain knowledge and insight in all facets of music, singing, and performance.
The most vital pre-requisite for any student is their enthusiasm. My ambition will be to harness that enthusiasm and channel it productively through stimulating instruction. Our sessions will be informative and educational, but always predicated upon "having fun with music".
I am proud to feature a curriculum that emphasizes the entertainment aspect of singing as well as the technical; created to benefit all ages and experience levels, from beginner to seasoned professional. After just weeks of my "Triple Threat Training" a student will begin to see astounding results: vocally, musically, and in the art of performance. I am excited to share my knowledge with you. Let's get started!
*** Studio Equipment ***
My studio is equipped with a full vocal sound system with microphones that I utilize to teach the valuable art of mic technique. Young students enjoy using the mics and hearing themselves sing and perform. Since our lessons are predicated on enjoying the art of singing, this opportunity has proven invaluable. For the advanced performer, studying all aspects of amplification and what a singer should know about their stage sound is a part of our educational curriculum. My studio is furnished with the equipment that is essential to mastering that knowledge.
Since the practical aspect of my course is based on singing songs, I provide all the latest technology required to allow my students the opportunity to sing the songs of their choosing, with and without the lead vocal tracks. I feel that when students are singing their favorite songs, it offers me the greatest teaching opportunities. I make certain the every musical genre can be represented, and feel I have the knowledge and ability to guide the student is whatever their musical tastes. My studio is also equipped with piano (for vocal exercises), and guitars, which gives me opportunity to accompany my students when the musical moment is appropriate. Be assured that all the technology I need to fulfill the educational needs of my students is but a step away!!
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

I have a horizontally scrolling flying game involving a character and diferent types of food moving across the screen from right to left which the character has to collect ("hit"). I have the hitTestObject working for 2 different food movieclips with one item belonging to a healthyList, and the other to a junkList.
The problem is I don't know how to add more items (movieclips) to each of the lists, so that I have for example 6 items in the healthyList and 4 items in the junkList.
Below is the code in my Engine.as file. The red highlighted text is the code that creates the problem. I thought that I just needed to add this line in order to add another item to the "healthyList" of food types, but I obviously have it in the wrong place or have the wrong code completely.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.Event;
public class Engine extends MovieClip
private var numClouds:int = 5;
private var healthyList:Array = new Array();
private var junkList:Array = new Array();
private var myFlying:Flying;
public function Engine()
myFlying = new Flying(stage);
myFlying.x = stage.stageWidth / 8;
myFlying.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
for (var i:int = 0; i < numClouds; i++)
stage.addChildAt(new Cloud(stage), stage.getChildIndex(myFlying));
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop, false, 0, true);
private function loop(e:Event) : void
if (Math.floor(Math.random() * 90) == 5)
var healthy:Carrot = new Carrot(stage, myFlying);
var healthy:Broccoli = new Broccoli(stage, myFlying);
healthy.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, removeHealthy, false, 0, true);
var junk:Hotdog = new Hotdog(stage, myFlying);
junk.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, removeJunk, false, 0, true);
private function removeHealthy(e:Event)
healthyList.splice(healthyList.indexOf(e.currentTarget), 1);
private function removeJunk(e:Event)
junkList.splice(junkList.indexOf(e.currentTarget), 1);
All help and advice very much appreciated.
Thank you!
The red line and the one before it create the problem. You cannot be declaring the same variable twice in the same section of code. You will either need to have different functions that you call to load different object types, or you will need to specify a different type within that function.
Hi Ned,
I added the red text below and the broccoli appeared along with the carrot and the hotdog. Even though it worked, is this the right thing to do each time I want to add another object? or is this code going to cause me problems later, or slow things down when it's running?
Eg. for another item, do I add var healthy2.Pepper = new Pepper(stage, myFlying);
private function loop(e:Event) : void
if (Math.floor(Math.random() * 120) ==50)
var healthy:Carrot = new Carrot(stage, myFlying);
healthy.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, removeHealthy, false, 0, true);
var healthy1:Broccoli = new Broccoli(stage, myFlying);
healthy1.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, removeHealthy, false, 0, true);
var junk:Hotdog = new Hotdog(stage, myFlying);
junk.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, removeJunk, false, 0, true);
That will add all of the items at the same time. If that is what you want, then that is what you can use. I would expect you want to add different objects at different times, which wold require a different approach.
Ok, so guess what I'm going to ask you now :-)
How would I add different objects at different times? Is there a time delay or random feature which is used?
One other question, if you don't mind.
In the code, I have:
if (Math.floor(Math.random() * 120) ==50)
I'm a bit confused as to what exactly the numbers mean, and how they alter the frequency of the items appearing on stage. Is there a quick explanation?
Many many thanks Mr Murphy.
Yes, there could be a delay (up to you), and the selection of what to load and the delay could both be random (up to you). You could have separate functions for loading each of the different objects and devise a way to call one of them randomly, or you could have one function that includes a random selection of which class of object to load and have it load the selected one.
The line of code you show is acting like a time delay, though not a very efficient one. Each time that function executes (it executes at the frame rate of your file), it is picking a random integer between 0 and 119 inclusive, and if that number picked is 50, the condition passes and the code in the conditional executes.
You should look up all of the methods involved to gain an understanding of what they do... especially the Math.random() method since that is probably going to be used in various places in your design.

Obviously I don't expect you to just do the work for me, but how would I do what you said above? What methods or coding techniques would I need to know in order to carry this out because I'm a bit lost here with all this.

Why is it not effective? Is there any reason for me using this code at all? What purpose does it serve exactly? Does this determine how many of each of my objects are on the stage at any one time?
It's good that you don't expect me to do the work for you - saves me from letting you know that. Doing the work is how you learn. I am also not here to teach you, and it looks like you might need to get some basics under your belt before you can pursue something like what you are doing now.
As I already said, the Math.random() method will be one of the key techniques you will need to use for anything you want to have happen randomly.
Usually it comes in handy with randomly choosing an array's index, where the array stores the different items you want to randomly choose. In your case, the array could store the names of the different functions you could call for each food item you want to add. Or you could have the classes of the objects in the array and randomly choose which one to load in...
var foodClasses:Array = new Array("Carrots", "Broccoli", "Hotdog", etc...);
this approach requires knowing how to dynamically create a new class instance using only a String value.... for example:
var ClassRef:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("className"));
var classInstance:* = new ClassRef();
In that bit of code, the className would be whatever class name you randomly pulled from the array of the class names...
I didn't say it isn't effective, though it can easily fail being effective as well when your file starts getting bogged down with everything else that is going on. I said it isn't efficient. It is constantly fliipping a 120-sided coin, as fast as the file's frame rate to see if it comes up 50 or not. You could use a setTimeout function or a Timer and get much more efficent performance instead... only processing the code when the time passes.
If you cannot understand how that one line of code works, you are probably in over your head and you need to back up to more basic learning before you can tackle something like what you seem to want to create here.

A minor coolant leak that lets coolant drip onto a hot exhaust manifold, causing smoke, may make you think the radiator is bad. It's not. The cause is a bad "Y" connector in the cooling system, an easy fix, detailed in a Youtube video or check out this thread.
2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. Click image to enlarge
A small number (according to Chrysler) of "Pentastar" 3.6L engines were built with poorly made cylinder heads, repored in an Autoweek.com article.
At the risk of being too blunt, the Grand Caravan's brakes are crap. The rotors warp easily, pads wear out quickly, and calipers seize frequently. Wheel bearings are another weak point.
If the power sliding door, power window and rear seat heater on one side of the van all fail simultaneously, it's probably due to a chafed wire damaged by the sliding door mechanism.
Here's a handy page at AllPar.com, detailing some of the standard features of the 2008-and-newer Chrysler vans, as well as year-to-year changes.
Here's a discussion about the Pentastar motor's real-world fuel economy.
From the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the 2008–2013 Grand Caravan gets the crash testing organization's top rating of "good" in moderate overlap front and side impact crash testing. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave 2008–2010 Grand Caravans five-star ratings in front and side impact protection, but revised test measures introduced in 2011 reduced the front impact protection rating to four stars.
As I said when I reviewed the Dodge Journey in November 2012, it seems clear, when digging for details, how Dodge is able to sell its vehicles at such attractive prices. The money has to come from somewhere, and in this case, the low prices and deep discounts come at the expense of materials quality. Thankfully, at least to this point, the major stuff doesn't break too often, but it will be interesting to see how that situation evolves as the Grand Caravans on the road now continue to age.
This is a vehicle that sells well when new because the price is right. With that in mind, I wouldn't buy a used one unless the same is true: the best used Grand Caravan is going to be the one with the lowest price. If you can do without, I'd also advise skipping convenience goodies like power tailgates and sliding doors. These are, almost universally, the things that fail on many aging minivans, no matter who built it. As always, be picky, and choose a van that comes with complete service/maintenance records, and gets a passing grade in a once-over from a trusted mechanic.
