Good Beers on tap in South London
NYC-hound here. Looking for a good, not too trendy pub in South London, preferably Balham, Clapham, Streatham or Brixton. Ideally I want a place that really cares about good beer and offers interesting ales, lagers, stouts, etc. on tap. An emphasis on smaller breweries would good too.
Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!
In Brixton, i can heartily recommend the Trinity Arms, which fits your requirements perfecty..
In Battersea I suggest going to Microbar - http://www.microbar.org/ - they have a good rotating selection on tap and loads of bottles. Lots of good beers.
re: catandcrow
microbar is a pain to get to, and is not a pub.
but it does have a good range.
re: hollow_legs
Why travel to London to drink American beer i.e. Sierra Nevada?
re: hollow_legs
Do they do Anchor Steam?
re: hollow_legs
If you're heading to Borough The Market Porter or the Royal Oak are fab! Not sure if New Cross/Deptford is too far out of your way (it is South) - if you fancy a trip The Dog and Bell is really worth a trip
re: iheartcupcakes
Thanks for The Market Porter tip. I'll def be heading to Borough so will have to make a research stop.
re: iheartcupcakes
I second the Market Porter. One of the few places to feature Harvey's.
re: nanette
the bedford clearly does not fall into what she asked.
its a (very good) pub, with the bog standard standard range of drinks. completely out of scope.
re: batfink23
I think that's a bit mean. Sharp's is a very good ale and I'd hardly call it "bog standard". It is also just about the nicest pub in Balham.
re: nanette
The Bedford is a lovely pub, one of my favourites but did you not read the OP?
you'll also note I called the range of drinks 'bog standard', which you seem to agree with your comment "most stuff on tap is main stream".
Pam if you are a beer connoisseur then this site may be of interest - http://www.camra.org.uk/home.aspx CAMRA are one of the original consumer driven campaign organisations in the UK, in the 1970s they mounted a successful campaign against the large multinational breweries who were intent on standardising and homogenising the beer that was available in the UK. Much credit is owed to them for the current interest in, and success of the UK micro/regional brewing industry. They publish a pretty good guide to pubs that sell good beer which is a good resource (I don't think it is available on-line as it is their main fund raising vehicle), it tends to value the quality of the beer over the decor and ambiance, and like tradition over modernity.
London has always been quite a good town for real beer having a few good regional breweries like "Youngs" and "Fullers". As good british beer is generally cask conditioned (i.e. it is a living product) and so the quality of a pint is as much determined by how it is stored, cared for, and served as much as the quality of production. Finding a pub that "keeps" its beer well is the secret - lots around, and the CAMBRA guide can help find them. Sorry I am no longer an expert on London pubs now I live in the West Country.
re: PhilD
Thank you all for your suggestions. Phil, I am looking for cask conditioned beer. It's a recent discovery and it has become a talking point here in New York with some excellent small breweries offering delicious stuff and they are very much influenced by England still. CAMRA looks like the perfect resource - thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.
My. Gimlet, I know Crown and Sceptre but this was before I knew anything about real beer Glad to hear they are noteworthy and I will check them out again after all these years.
re: PamG
Note that camra rates entirely on beer quality - ambience, food, service doesn't get a look in! The 09 guide only came out at the end of December so it should be pretty current. Also keep an eye on the festivals listing on the camra website - a great and inexpensive way to try lots of beers in peak condition
the clarence in Balham is your best bet. was the evening standard best pub in london, a couple of years back and has an unusual range of beers and ale's on tap, all well kept.
there isn't really anything comparable nearby, presuming you want to rule out bierodrome - and you should.
the blithe spirit has a very good range of ale's as well, just not always as well kept.
re: batfink23
Oh, so the Bedford isn't good enough, but you suggest the Blithe Spirit? Been in there lately? Service is slow, beer is expensive, and the staff rude. Their beer has all gone bog standard too.
re: nanette
Hi hounds, sorry to interrupt the chow talk, but please let's play nice and not get personal. Offer your opinions but also allow everyone to speak their mind. And please feel free to agree to disagree, we can't all like the same places or it would very boring. Do remember that a criticism of a place you like is not a criticism of you. Eat and drink well!
re: nanette
yes of course I mentioned the blithe spirit, it is an appropriate response to the question asked.
where as this post has little to do with the OP?
the blithe spirit has many different ale's, about 20 liisted on a blackboard out front for example - not just bog standard as you disingenously imply. the bedford, by your own admission has only mainstream beers.
instead of getting so antsy, you could actually read what the opening post asked.
Greenwich is not quite the area you were looking at, but it has a great place - the Greenwich Union - which is the local Meantime Brewery's only pub (as far as I'm aware). Has great pale ale and an extensive selection of draught ales, lagers and speciality beers. It also has lots of decent bottled beers including Sierra Nevada (good news for us SN-loving Brits) and Anchor Steam. Fancy a pint has a spot-on review of the place. (and if you don't like it, there's always the more regular boozer Richard I next door)
My local in Clapham now stocks a decent beer from a new south london brewery, which would certainly meet your smaller breweries requirement. Full list of pubs on their website otherwise strongly recommend microbar.
re: spazza
The Eagle Ale House in Battersea fits your bill pretty well, Pam. They have a wide range of guest beers - at the moment they have six, including Rucking Mole and Dark Star Old Chestnut (I haven't tried either). Keeping beer well is a fetish of theirs: they banned Fullers (to my regret) because it arrived in bad shape. They were runners-up in the south-west London section of Camra. No food apart from crisps, utterly untrendy, quiet except when there's sport on the big screen, friendly landlords.
Let me know if you go there - I live practically next door.
re: Jenny Sheridan
now that's a proper recommendation Jenny! I might need to check it out myself.
I've also noticed, not a pub, but a genuine french brasserie Gazette in Balham has quite the range of beers. Meantime Kolner & Pale Ale on tap, and a number of continental, trappist ales by the bottle - and some rather tasty local food.

People act like black vegetarians are fictional characters. As if it's completely unbelievable for a black person to maintain such a diet, or find a beautiful array of vegetables and fruits to be more appetizing than the #4 Baconator from Wendy's. I in fact am not a vegetarian, but that doesn't…
that my people are always criticizing about "Black History Month" being celebrated during the shortest month of the year (February)? People, are you even aware of the amount of remarkable people of colour born throughout this month? I mean you have:
February 1: Langston Hughes, 1902. Poet.
you attract to yourself who you are…so if you're always hiding your natural hair under weaves, wigs & lacefronts what do you think you're saying? who do you think you're attracting? you say, "i am not my hair" but on a certain level you are.
If it's not broke don't fix it. I'm just sayin' if you wrote a book, next year write 2 books. If you sold 3 houses, next year sell 9 houses. If your business plan flopped, revise that mf and make 2 more business plans next year! If you doubled your income this year, get creative next year and triple your income next year! If you got laid off, don't beg for crumbs, construct a plan and open your own business…your own enterprise. Be independent! It's enough pie out here for everybody to not just have a piece but to have their own damn pie!

They've learned to "just let go.... to not plan too much." In just over a year, the family has buried their 10-month-old daughter, Josephine, and welcomed a new baby boy, Christopher. There aren't words to capture the loss of a child or to describe the arrival of this one," says Ed Lampitt. "A year ago, we didn't know, there was this dark spot. Now, here we are with a little bubble of life." For his wife, Claire, "It feels like time has started moving again."
In December 2008, when Josephine was diagnosed with Type II Gaucher disease (lysosomal storage disorder), a rare metabolic disease caused by mutated recessive genes on both sides, the family was devastated. The first symptoms included apparent reflux, unusual eye movements and raspy breathing, followed by increasing difficulty in swallowing and an enlarged spleen and liver. There's no cure and little treatment, and the next couple of months were devoted to keeping Josephine as comfortable as possible during her steady decline. They let her taste ice cream and apples and recorded her delight; they made a book about her for their son Rudy, now 4, to remember the times they shared; they drove the Colonial Parkway to let the road's bumps soothe her; and they held her constantly. They dreaded the nights, but she passed away peacefully during the day on Feb. 16, 2009, naturally, with no tubes, and surrounded by family.
In October, four weeks later, when they called to get the test results, they knew that they could be facing another funeral in a year. "We weren't afraid because we had made the decision. ...We've both been confused, but we've never disagreed. We share the same values," Ed says in an echo. They knew immediately by the tone that all was well. "It was probably one of the most powerful experiences," he concedes. "It was incredible," she adds.
Just as they found they couldn't prepare for their loss, so Christopher's arrival on Feb. 26, 2010, has brought some surprises. "It's a conflict of emotions. I didn't expect he'd look so like Rudy. I'm having flashbacks," says Claire, noting his shock of dark hair. "He has some of the same way of doing things. Some of his traits are the same." She has also had to do some things she hadn't felt ready to do. Like going through cabinets that have Josephine's clothes in order to find burp cloths and blankets. "Out of necessity I've had to do the things I was trying to avoid," she says. "I love going through the boxes, but I have to be emotionally prepared."
Their joy at welcoming a new son has been tempered by their experience. "My definition of joy will never be the same - the elation and expectation. I've lost that naivete and that innocence. That's OK. I feel what I'm capable of feeling. It's just our grief is so fresh. It could be yesterday," she says. As they left the hospital with Christopher, Ed took a picture, capturing a local magazine cover and his story, "Remembering Josephine" in the frame. On their way home, they stopped off at the cemetery to visit her grave. "This is our team, and one of us isn't here," is how he characterizes it. They're grateful for Rudy's natural acceptance, "Now we have five people in our family." With the help of professional counseling they've learned that there's no rush to put away Josephine's things, no timeline, no one way to grieve.
"I don't know. We reserve some part of us that something could go wrong. I certainly feel better being home, getting to know him. He's doing all those baby things. He's going to be OK," says Claire.
Type II Gaucher disease (pronounced "go-shay) affects 1 in 100,000 infants; the average life span is 9 months.

Vince Young sues pair over money
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Vince Young is accusing his former agent and ex-financial adviser of cheating him out of at least $5.5 million the former first-round draft pick was supposed to have earned in his rookie contract and through endorsement deals.
In a lawsuit filed by the Buffalo Bills' new quarterback in Houston on Monday, Young alleges that Major Adams II and Ronnie T. Peoples breached their contracts by conspiring to commit fraud and misappropriate the player's funds.
Adams is a Houston-based attorney who served as Young's first agent in negotiating the five-year, $54 million contract the quarterback first signed after being selected with the third pick in the 2006 NFL draft by Tennessee. Peoples, who operates Peoples Financial Services in Raleigh, N.C., was hired by Young to be his financial adviser.
The two are also alleged in the 15-page lawsuit of forging Young's signature, falsifying documents and using a fake email address to impersonate Young to secure loans in part to help pay off Adams' personal debts.
"Young has reason to believe that most and possibly all of these funds have been misappropriated, improperly converted and/or squandered by one or more of the defendants," the lawsuit states. It also notes that Adams had access to Young's money because the two held multiple joint accounts.
Adams denied any wrong-doing and added he had considered Young to be a friend.
"I have never had access to Vince Young's financial money, any money he has," Adams told The Associated Press by phone on Tuesday. "I've never had any access to his financial accounts. I've never been authorized on any accounts to write checks or anything like that. All I did for Vince Young was negotiate his contracts."
Adams noted that Young never made any mention of a lawsuit when the two last talked about a month or two ago before the quarterback signed with Buffalo. He said the two instead spoke about Young's status as a free agent, and his worries about signing with a new team.
"We'll fight this lawsuit vigorously in court and also will file a counterclaim of defamation," Adams added.
A spokeswoman for Peoples said he was deferring comment until having an opportunity to read through the allegations.
The lawsuit said that when Young changed financial management firms in 2011, a six-year review of the player's financial dealings and bank statements revealed "a net transfer discrepancy" in Peoples Financial Service's favor.
Young, who is now represented by agent Tom Condon, is on his third team in three years since he and the Titans parted ways following the 2010 season. After completing a one-year deal in Philadelphia last season, Young signed a one-year contract potentially worth $3 million last month with the Bills to compete for a backup job.
Young was expected to be participating in the Bills voluntary practice session on Tuesday.
Young, who is from Houston, was a Heisman Trophy finalist and led Texas to the 2006 national championship. He then went on to become NFL offensive rookie of the year.

'With [Leeds retail development] Broadgate, we were getting into film production on a scaled-down platform' says Pikcells' Richard Benson. His visualisation studio usually works from accurate AutoCad drawings, using 3D models (usually supplied by architects in SketchUp format) as a reference. The animation is split into sequences which are lit and rendered separately using 3ds Max and V-Ray rendering. All the separate elements are then composited into the final shot using Autodesk Combustion ...

Well, in my heart what I really wanted to do was to paint typical Chilean landscapes and scenes. Even if no one buys such paintings, that is, deep down, what I wanted to do. I've been away, now I want to reestablish relations with my home country. There are so many things that are wrong with it. So what, there are wrong things with every country, this is not a perfect world. It is cool, though, to travel abroad to know the difference.
I admit it, I am a big fan of Mrs. Pamela Earleywine. I wanted to do stuff like hers, but with Chilean subjects.
The trouble was, I don't get out of the city often. I have a day job, you know, and a house to take care of. Expenses. And last summer (I mean last February, remember this is the Southern Hemisphere) I just couldn't get out on vacation. So no typical Chilean scenes for reference. I was running out of references. Then I finished my roses painting, and shared it on Facebook. Having seen it, this fellow, Mr. David Aravena a/k/a "Chumingo", who is a technician at the lab next door to ours, showed me his pictures. Turns out he's an amateur photographer and he had some really nice pictures to show. And his subject is, you know, typical Chilean scenes. He offered me to sell me some, for me to paint. You can see how that was an offer I couldn't refuse.
So now I have pretty cool references for the rest of the year and probably next year also. And I won't have to change what I wanted.
Next up on the list is a typical Chilean scene, but not one by Chumingo. It is going to be one by myself.

Right before the 2012-2013 NHL season opened, anyone who examined the roster of the Buffalo Sabres probably noticed that the Sabres were rich in defensemen, but lacking at center. Sure, the Sabres went out and grabbed Steve Ott in the offseason, but certainly not to use him as a first-line center. For a while, it was assumed that Tyler Ennis would make a claim as Buffalo's number one center, but the early results are in, and Cody Hodgson has done far more to earn that title so far . . . sort of. If you are only comparing the players on the Sabres' roster to each other, than sure, Hodgson is your number one center right now. The problem is, the Sabres play in the NHL, against other teams, and only a total homer would look at the roster of the Buffalo Sabres and be satisfied with what he sees. How many truly elite centers would you rank Cody Hodgson above? Uh-huh.
Lacking a true number one center has crippled the Sabres attack. It's no secret that Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville are off to a torrid start – ranked 7th and 13th in the NHL, with 9 and 8 points, respectively – but the offensive numbers drop off the face of the earth once you focus the spotlight on the rest of the team. There's not another Sabres player in the TOP 100 of the NHL's players; Hodgson is sitting at 110, with just three goals and no assists so far this season. Behind Hodgson? Christian Ehrhoff, with three points, ranked number 162, and Tyler Ennis, he of the two points and ranking of 196 in the NHL.
Compare that to the San Jose Sharks, who have five players among the top 30 NHL scorers right now: Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture, and Dan Boyle. Or look at the Chicago Blackhawks, St. Louis Blues and Tampa Bay Lightning, who can each boast having four of the top 30. The combined records of San Jose, Chicago, St. Louis and Tampa Bay? 20-2. With the exception of St. Louis, each of those teams has at least one center ranked among the NHL's top 30 scorers: Jonathan Toews for Chicago; Steven Stamkos and Cory Conacher for Tampa Bay; and the afore-mentioned Thornton, Couture, and Pavleski for San Jose. Right now, folks, with the rust from the lockout still causing defensive lapses and an unnatural amount of turnovers, offense wins games. And while defense may prevail in the Stanley Cup playoffs, your team has to be able to get to the playoffs, which means they are going to need offense, baby. Filling their void at the center position is the only way the Sabres are going to transform a middling attack into a playoff-caliber offense.
Why are centers so valuable to a team? Well, for starters, centers win faceoffs, giving your team possession of the puck. Toews, Couture and Thornton currently boast a faceoff win percentage of over 50%, and Tampa Bay still has Vincent Lecavalier winning more faceoffs than he is losing. Buffalo's best faceoff men? Ennis and Hodgson, winning 39.4% and 39.2% in the circle. Guess where Buffalo ranks when it comes to faceoffs in the NHL – dead last, at a paltry 40.1%. Oof. It's pretty hard to score goals when you can't gain possession of the puck. An elite center would go a long way to curing this ill.
Of course, having a top-tier center should do more for your team than boost your FO%. A great center runs the offense and creates opportunities for his teammates – it's no surprise that 13 out of the 30 top assist men in the NHL right now play center. An elite center can also control the middle of the ice, pouncing on loose pucks in front of the net, drawing defenders to him and creating open passing lanes for the rest of his offense. In short, an elite center can make a good line a great line, plus it allows a team a bit more flexibility in its line-up. With an elite center, for example, Buffalo could afford to shift Jason Pominville or Thomas Vanek to a second line, since those guys have proven that they can both find their own offense and help create some for those around them. In that situation, Buffalo would now have two solid lines, instead of the one they currently have.
The '12-13 season may be just getting started, but from what I have seen of the Buffalo Sabres' offense, I can honestly say that it is time for Darcy Regier to swing for the fences. Buffalo needs a number one center, and it needs one now.
Tomorrow, I look at possible targets, as well as breaking down some of the myths the Sabres brass need to avoid dwelling on as they pursue acquiring an elite center. Until then, feel free to share your thoughts here, or Tweet them to me @theaveragedick.

Happy Book Birthday to Me!
I am a soppy, sentimental, squishy person. I always have been, even if sometimes I hide it. I've been humming the words to this tune all week, and thinking about all the people I love, all the ones I feel so grateful to for this day.
An acknowledgments page just doesn't cover it.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you to all the people at Razorbill and New Leaf – especially Laura, Emily, and Suzie. Thank you to my amazing family and Writer Friends. My Writer Friends! Cynthia, Samantha, Joy, Nan, Shelli, Lindsey, Lizzie – too many to count. You are my tribe, and I'm so glad I found you.
Thank you to the book bloggers who have taken time to write and post reviews – and to Jen, for setting up my tour!
Thanks to Dave, who gaily canceled the fun cable channels, magazine subscriptions, and spent down the savings so I could have the time to write. And thank you to my kids, who have learned to cook their own dinners… and how to read manuscripts like professional editors.
Now I have a party on Saturday to get ready for – and you are invited! Bring an (un)healthy appetite – there's going to be a whole lot of sweetness at Bookpeople on Saturday.

Jane Lynch and her wife of nearly three years, Lara Embry, are planning to divorce.
"Lara and I have decided to end our marriage. This has been a difficult decision for us as we care very deeply about one another. We ask for privacy as we deal with this family matter," Lynch told ABC News in a statement. People was the first to report the news.
The "Glee" star, 52, and Embry, 44, met at a 2009 fundraiser at which Embry, a clinical psychologist, was being honored.
"I said, 'I want my picture taken with her,'" Embry told the New York Times of the moment she met the actress. "I thought she was cute."
A year later, they were married in Massachusetts, which allows gay marriage, and Lynch became a stepmother to Embry's two daughters, Haden, who lived with the couple, and Chase. Lynch has said that being a stepmother was a role she cherished.
In fact, when she was reciting her vows, the New York Times reported that Lynch promised "to be the very best parent I can be," and "to do my best to get her 'iCarly' tickets."
This story has been updated to include a photo of Jane Lynch and Dr. Lara Embry. A previous version incorrectly included a mislabeled photo of Lynch with her friend Laura Coyle.

Fitness Yoga Studios stretches out its arms to encourage everyone, at every experience level, to improve their strength and flexibility with yoga. Though it specializes in Vinyasa flow, a breath-focused style of yoga, Fitness Yoga Studios offers a wide variety of classes, while a convenient schedule aids in achieving and maintaining physical, spiritual, and emotional health for budding yogis. Unwind with the gentle yoga class, perfect for newbies or a jury that's snuck out of its deliberation, or challenge the body's limits with the hot Vinyasa flow session, where guests flex in a room heated to about 90 degrees. Students can obtain newfound energy in the yoga renew class, which emphasizes proper alignment, or increase their range of motion in the yin/Vinyasa sessions. Novice contortionists can also try out the soothing, fluid motions of the classic Vinyasa experience and enjoy profound meditation once their Third Eyes have been safely pried open.
The enthusiastic instructors at Live in Joy strive to nurture the mind, body, and spirit of their clients through a bevy of yoga classes. Yogis spanning the flexibility spectrum can enjoy a variety of 60- to 90-minute stretch sessions designed for all ability levels. Teach an old recliner new tricks in a gentle chair yoga class, where seated asanas encourage increased mobility, flexibility, and relaxation, perfect for students who are recovering from an injury or seeking relief from awkward water cooler workouts at the office. Rigorous Vinyasa practices take students from one flowing pose to the next, pausing briefly in certain poses to help stretchers settle into deeper alignment. Instructors of yin yoga command downward facing dogs to "stay" in certain floor postures for up to five minutes to balance organ function, restore resiliency in the body's muscles and joints, and break the compulsion to mark yogis standing in tree pose.
Each visit to Royal Fitness shakes up workout routines with rows of equipment, an indoor saltwater pool, and group classes focusing on aerobics or mind and body cultivation. The center houses cardio gear from Precor and Cybex, and guests can climb stair masters or paddle away from imaginary anacondas on rowing machines. A dedicated strength-training center tones muscle groups with free weights, kettlebells and Nautilus machines, which can be used for self-prescribed workout routines or under the guidance of personal trainers. Trainers also lead more than 100 fitness classes each week emphasizing conditioning or a unification of the mind and body with classes such as tai chi. Additionally, the onsite youth center keeps an eye on tots while parents exercise or unwind with the help of massage therapy.
At Power Yoga Works, winner of the Suburban Yoga category in Philadelphia magazine's Best of Philly 2008, certified instructors guide aspiring yogis of all skill levels in muscle-toning and detoxifying classes. The studio's focus centers around the power Vinyasa style, a modality that combines deep-breathing exercises with sequenced sets of flowing poses to help to build strength, increase flexibility, release tension, and purge the mind of distracting heavy-metal guitar riffs. Fledgling flexers receive a proper introduction to the fundamentals during four-week beginners courses that teach body alignment and come with a complimentary yoga mat. The schedule boasts copious classes and meeting times, helping students to salute the egotistical sun seven days a week. A warm, spacious studio allows up to 65 students at a time to stretch and bend without disrupting their neighbors' wingspans.
Fountain of Yoga's staff focuses on motivating its clients toward complete wellness through yoga, and tension- and pain-relieving therapies. In calming, subdued lighting, the instructors lead students through Vinyasa yoga classes in which they synchronize deep breathing to a quick, flowing series of poses. In each session, students can perform more challenging or easier movements based on their abilities, and the instructors walk around the classroom to offer slight modifications to help them to perfect their technique. Furthering their relaxation services, instructors soothe clients and assuage their aches with massage and reiki services by appointment.
At Wake Up Yoga, practicing yoga moves far past the physical benefits. And while the physical benefits of yoga are significant?improved flexibility, strength, and endurance, to name a few?here, yoga is also meant to benefit the mind and heart. The studio hosts Vinyasa flow and yin classes, both of which help release anxiety and stress in different ways. Through the movements of yoga, students can take a break from the never-ending to-do list in their brains and instead focus on the breath and body.

The Ed Koch showFebruary 04,2013"I never doubted that I would be a good mayor," said Ed Koch, with a self-satisfied smile. "I never did."
It was Tuesday night, and the documentary "Koch," written and directed by my old friend Neil Barsky, was having its premiere at the Museum of Modern Art. In his late 80s, the former New York mayor looked his age in the film, but he was still very sharp and quite funny — and as needy as he'd always been for public attention and approval. As Ed Koch matter-of-factly uttered those words, early in the movie, the audience, full of former staff aides, political loyalists and New York movers and shakers, chuckled knowingly. Throughout his political life, Koch's ego had never been far from the surface. It says here that his egotism is part of what made him a great mayor.
Koch had planned to be in the audience Tuesday night. He had cooperated fully with Barsky and had given a few interviews in the run-up to the premiere. He was clearly looking forward to basking in the spotlight again. But earlier that day he had been admitted to the hospital. By Friday, he was dead. Is it tasteless to say he couldn't have planned a better promotional campaign? Probably. But Koch himself would have laughed at the joke. Which was another thing about him: He was probably the last mayor of New York to have a sense of humor.
Like Koch, Barsky was born in the Bronx. A former Wall Street Journal reporter and hedge fund manager, he was in college when Koch was first elected mayor. About 10 years ago, he told me, he had driven around the South Bronx, an area he hadn't ventured into in decades. He was stunned to see, as he put it, that "I couldn't find any of the old burned-out buildings" that he recalled from the 1970s. "They had all been replaced with real housing."
Affordable housing was a big part of Koch's legacy, Barsky realized; indeed, under Koch, the city spent $5 billion on housing, more than the next 50 American cities combined. The memory of that tour of the South Bronx stuck with him. When Barsky closed his hedge fund to become a filmmaker, Koch was an obvious subject.
Which is not to say the film is a big wet kiss. Yes, it gives plenty of credit where it is due: Koch's sound financial management brought the city back from the brink of bankruptcy. He helped New York regain its confidence. He took on the transit union. He began the process that led to the renewal of Times Square and other areas of the city. He reduced the rampant crime that had created such a climate of fear in New York.
But Barsky is also cleareyed about his foibles. Koch's lack of empathy. His contentious and at times ugly relationship with the black community. His slowness to react to the AIDS crisis. Barsky tackles the rumors that Koch was a closeted gay man, asking him point-blank about his sexuality. "None of your business," replied Koch, in somewhat more pungent language. (Many gay activists are convinced that Koch didn't do more during the AIDS crisis because he was uncomfortable with his own sexuality. But the totality of Koch's record — he was a leader in pushing for gay rights — suggests otherwise, at least to me.)
What was most striking about "Koch," however, was the extent to which, for Hizzoner, it was always about, well, Ed Koch. He needlessly picks fights, calling people "schmucks" and "idiots" when they disagreed with him. He takes actions designed to win him praise in the media. One of his former aides recalls him saying, after reading the paper, that nothing of note had happened that day. What he meant was that he wasn't mentioned. "How'm I doin'?" wasn't just a trademark phrase; it was an expression of a deep psychological need. On the other hand, if that is what drove him to spend $5 billion on new housing, who can complain?
A few days after the "Koch" premiere, I went to see "Fiorello!," a 1959 musical about another great New York mayor, Fiorello H. LaGuardia, which is having a short run at City Center. LaGuardia was also an egotist, who loved "the people" more than he did people, who reformed city government yet who also had a profound need to be at the center of every orbit he entered.
Indeed, the same can largely be said of our current mayor, Michael Bloomberg, whose view of himself as a Great Man doing a Great Job is so ingrained that, according to The New York Times, he has tried to recruit someone he thinks has sufficient stature to succeed him.
New York's three greatest mayors were also three of its great egotists. It's no accident.

Researchers studying diversity of microbes that live in bee guts
It is 1,825 miles from New Haven, Conn., to Austin, Tex., which typically means 30 hours of driving and three nights in motels, not an easy trip for anyone. But for researchers moving from Yale University to a new lab at the University of Texas last August, it proved especially challenging. They made the journey in a minivan with a pet cat and 100,000 bees.
"That was probably the most heroic event in our beekeeping saga to date," says evolutionary biologist Nancy Moran, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, who studies symbiosis, particularly among multi-cellular hosts and microbes. "We didn't want to be without bees upon arrival in Texas, and it wasn't a good time of year to start new colonies."
Kim Hammond, University of Texas at AustinMembers of a Bombus impatiens (bumblebee) colony within the nest. These insects share specialized gut bacteria, which are transmitted among colony members. The bees -- chauffeured by graduate student Waldan Kwong and postdoctoral fellow Gordon Bennett -- traveled in boxes nailed shut, with duct tape over the cracks between the boxes, so they couldn't fly around in the minivan, and wire mesh over the front, so they could cool themselves, but not escape. They also received wet sponges at regular intervals to keep them hydrated.
"They [Kwong and Bennett] just turned up the air conditioning all the way, and wore sweaters," Moran says. "Bees are less excitable when it's cooler. At night, they waited to park the minivan until after dark, and then opened the windows so the bees didn't overheat in the closed space. It seemed unlikely that anyone would try to steal something from a van full of bees."
The bees arrived in Austin with no problems, and now live on top of a building on campus, "where their main forage might be drops of soda on discarded cans around campus," says Moran, who for many years studied the maternally transmitted symbionts of aphids and other sap-feeding insects, but has expanded in recent years to bees. Symbionts are organisms that co-exist and depend on each other for survival.
"I've worked for many years on genomic evolution in bacteria, but also love insects and insect biology," she says. "So this is a system that has both."

i liked the apt itself-location, size, although the carpet was worse for wear. the person running it at the ti Read Moreme i was there was the downfall and my reason for moving. the pool also is very outdated and you cannot go in unless the 'guard' is there. give me a break! the complex is surrounded in trees and the sap drips on your car in the fall. that is really bad! needs more than one washer and one dryer for 8 unit building.

Objectives Provide Story Momentum
When the objective is clear and the character is moving towards it, the reader will stay with the story, at least until they reach a natural break in the narrative.
But ever be reading a book and you find yourself in a section where not much is happening, no great action or set piece, but you can't stop reading?
You go from one line to the next and it's like you're leaning forward as you're going down a hill and it would almost be more effort to stop than to just keep going.
That's the power of momentum.
Any time you give a character a specific objective you have the opportunity to create momentum. But if can string all the objectives together, then you can keep the reader perpetually in the flow of the story.
It may feel like it will be obvious that whatever the character does it will be in pursuit of their main objective, so you don't have to keep mentioning it. But this isn't about the story making sense or characters behaving in plausible ways, it's about creating a sense of forward movement that the reader will find hard to escape from.
For example, let's say our characters are off to a big violent showdown and get in their car. But on the way they decide to stop off at a bakery to get a doughnut. It turns out that this bakery is actually a front for a weapons dealer and our characters are actually going there to get hold of some serious firepower. Only the reader doesn't know that.
You could quite easily decide that the surprising nature of why they're going to the bakery will be a cool thing for the reader to discover, so you don't make it clear why they're headed there.
If the time between deciding to go to the bakery and revealing the real reason for going there is quite short, you won't lose much momentum.
If the characters go to the bakery and check out the different cakes and have a long chat with the woman behind the counter before the real reason for going there is revealed, then even though you may be able to recapture the reader's interest, you will still have lost a lot of the momentum you built up.It's a trade off, and only you can decide if what you gain is worth what you lose.
If you reveal up front what they're doing—There's only one place to buy a anti-aircraft missile around here: Ma's Old Tea Shop—then that will keep the momentum going, although the surprise will be gone.
But the aim here is to provide a connection to the main story, not necessarily explain it. So the important part is to bring up the connection. The above example does that, but you could also do it like this:
"First we need to stop off at Ma's Old Tea Shop".
"This is no time to get yourself a doughnut."
"Oh, Ma sells more than doughnuts."
Just letting the reader know this is not an arbitrary left turn in the story, even if it's just a hint, is enough to keep the momentum rolling.
Finding small ways to remind the reader this is all in pursuit of that ultimate goal (whatever that might be in your story) is all it takes to keep things rolling.
Bear in mind, the reason I made it an unusual place to get weapons is because if they went to a gun shop to get tooled up, it would be self-explanatory why they were going there. When the link to the main story is clear, the momentum will automatically be there.
Having said all that, if you write deep enough in the character's POV, it's possible to hold the reader's attention purely by maintaining a strong enough focus on the character's needs. He's angry and pissed off with the bad guys, and he's going to the goddam tea shop. If we know the kind of guy he is, we'll know there must be more to this tea shop then just cakes and Earl Grey.
But it's also worth remembering that when you're in deep POV, we should know what the character knows, and when he does something, we should be aware of why he does it. That won't make his actions less intriguing, it will only make the bond between character and reader all the stronger.
