The Dallas Area Rapid Transit authority (or DART) was created in 1983 as a regional replacement for the Dallas Transit System. Citizens of 15 area cities had voted to levy a 1% sales tax to join the system by the time it began transit services in 1984 (though formal acquisition of the Dallas Transit System wouldn't be complete until 1988).Just a year later, in 1985, member cities Carrollton and Farmers Branch held elections to pull out of DART, though the measures failed. But shifting suburban politics and a loss of confidence in DART management led to 7 more pullout votes in the 1980s, two of which ( Flower Mound and Coppell) were successful. Just one suburb joined DART -- the tiny community of Buckingham, which was later annexed by DART member city Richardson.
1990, though, was a turning point for the agency. DART broke ground on its light rail system, inaugurating starter service in June, 1996 on time and on budget. Commuter rail service to Irving began in December, after some delays.
To the surprise of critics, who expected the low ridership of the Miami and Los Angeles systems, the new light rail system was embraced by Dallasites, with ridership exceeding expectations. The suburbs' confidence in DART was also expressed at the ballot box: five cities held highly publicized pullout elections in 1996 (with the financial assistance of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones), but DART won handily in all five.
In 2000, DART opened Cityplace Station, the first subway station in the Southwest (excluding the Tandy Center Subway, a small private subway in Fort Worth, Texas between an office building and a parking lot which ceased to operate in 2002).
By 2002, DART light rail extended to the suburbs of Richardson, Plano, and Garland. In addition, DART's commuter rail line connected downtown Dallas with downtown Fort Worth (through an interlocal agreement with the Fort Worth Transit Authority, "The T") for the first time since the 1930s.

DART is currently designing the next phase of the expansion of the light rail system. Two new light rail lines will extend out of downtown Dallas by 2007 or 2008. One line will run southeast from downtown to the Dallas neighborhood of Pleasant Grove. The other line will run northwest from downtown, connect to Love Field airport, and extend into the suburbs of Farmers Branch and Carrollton.

The Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART) is a suburban railway system in Dublin, Ireland, running basically along the coastline of Dublin Bay from Greystones to Howth and Malahide.Trains are electric, running from a 1500 Volts DC overhead power supply. The original service provided by DART from 1984 ran from Howth, a fishing village to the north of Dublin city centre, through the city centre stations of Connolly, Tara Street, and Pearse, to the port suburb of Dun Laoghaire and terminated at Bray. Some 15 years later the electrification was extended south one stop to Greystones, and at the beginning of the 21st century from Howth Junction two stops along the Belfast main line to Malahide.
The service is provided by two-car Japanese-built electric multiple unit trains, which normally run as 6-car trains in the peak period and 4-car trains at other times. 40 two-car trainsets were purchased initially, and an extra 13 trainsets entered service in 2001. DART carries 80,000 passengers daily, and continued demand for increased capacity means that work is currently in hand (2003-4) to strengthen power supplies to allow the use of 8-car trains.
Apart from the short distance between Howth Junction and Howth, DART shares its tracks with mainline services to Belfast in the north of Ireland and Rosslare in the south east.
One of the best-known stations is at Lansdowne Road, the home of the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) and the venue for Irish Rugby international matches. Further south the train stops at Sidney Parade Avenue, a street of some Georgian and many Edwardian and Victorian red-brick houses in the Dublin embassy belt.

The River Dart is a river in Devon, UK.The Dart rises on Dartmoor, as two separate branches (the East Dart and West Dart), which join at Dartmeet. The paths along these rivers offer very attractive walking, and there are several small waterfalls. The rivers are crossed by a number of clapper bridges, notably at the hamlet of Postbridge.
After leaving the moor, the Dart flows southwards past Buckfast Abbey and through the towns of Buckfastleigh, Dartington and Totnes. From Totnes it becomes tidal, and there are no bridges below this point. The Dart estuary is a large ria and is popular for sailing. The towns of Kingswear and Dartmouth are on the east and west sides of the estuary, and are linked by a vehicle ferry.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | CARMELITE, n. A mendicant friar of the order of Mount Carmel. As Death was a-rising out one day, Across Mount Camel he took his way, Where he met a mendicant monk, Some three or four quarters drunk, With a holy leer and a pious grin, Ragged and fat and as saucy as sin, Who held out his hands and cried: "Give, give in Charity's name, I pray. Give in the name of the Church. O give, Give that her holy sons may live!" And Death replied, Smiling long and wide: "I'll give, holy father, I'll give thee -- a ride." With a rattle and bang Of his bones, he sprang From his famous Pale Horse, with his spear; By the neck and the foot Seized the fellow, and put Him astride with his face to the rear. The Monarch laughed loud with a sound that fell Like clods on the coffin's sounding shell: "Ho, ho! A beggar on horseback, they say, Will ride to the devil!" -- and thump Fell the flat of his dart on the rump Of the charger, which galloped away. Faster and faster and faster it flew, Till the rocks and the flocks and the trees that grew By the road were dim and blended and blue To the wild, wild eyes Of the rider -- in size Resembling a couple of blackberry pies. Death laughed again, as a tomb might laugh At a burial service spoiled, And the mourners' intentions foiled By the body erecting Its head and objecting To further proceedings in its behalf. Many a year and many a day Have passed since these events away. The monk has long been a dusty corse, And Death has never recovered his horse. For the friar got hold of its tail, And steered it within the pale Of the monastery gray, Where the beast was stabled and fed With barley and oil and bread Till fatter it grew than the fattest friar, And so in due course was appointed Prior. G.J. |
