Just walk!Submitted by Jason (not verified) on Wed, 01/30/2008 - 11:19pm.
I grew up in north charlotte in a area of extremely high violent crimes and I had to walk exactly four tenths of a mile just to catch the bus that would ship us to the high class side of town. It wasnt fun having to ride the bus for an hour after everyone was loaded just to get to school. Brunswick "COUNTY" has one of the lowest violent crime rates in the state and the chances of kidnapping are far less than getting hit standing on the side of the road or hit by a drunken driver. The bus ride should be appreciated especially with the cost of fuel. Maybe a ride to the bus stop or a ride home from the bus stop would suffice you!

Best of all the garments available at all prices anywhere for what i wanted it for which is walking my dogs my dogs in all kinds of winter weather
December 11, 2014
Waterproof and warm - excellent.
December 03, 2014
Excellent quality of product with a nice look; but the size was bigger so i sent for an exchange; the customer care service was helpful; the same colour was not available but the other colour was also good; at this price i will highly recommend; but the courier was very irresponsible; better you can collect at store if there is any chance of nobody at home
This is a excellent item and i shall be combining it with 1 of your wool thermals fro added warmth and comfort (sleeve wise)! item fits true to size and i do recognize it's not a 3 in 1 so it's not going to have that additional spacing for layers , but the thermals you all sale should compensates for that comfort wise , overall this is a great product ! love the padding for main body and it breathes just fine but yet warm !
November 28, 2014
Very warm

Hi, we're building a new site for our business in Hong Kong and wants to use Magento as the shopping cart platform. The only problem is that here in Asia, the only merchant account solution available is through Asiapay. Thus I'm wondering if Magento can integrate with Asiapay.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I've attached the integration guide in this post
A current list of all compatible payment gateways can be found in the feature list under Payment. AsiaPay is not one of them at this time. New payment gateways are added to MagentoConnect almost everyday and it is possible that this one will be available in the near future. If you would like to attempt to create this extension on your own here is some information on how to do it.

Columbus Razes 1,300 Housing Units With State Grant Funds
Foreclosures during the Great Recession added to thousands of blighted properties in Columbus. But, a state program helped fund demolition of many of those houses and apartment units.
Listen to the Story
Money was a focus of Monday's testimony in the murder trial of a Columbus teen accused of killing his twin brother last January. The teens' sister tried to refute a possible motive presented by the prosecution.
The defense called Dianne Lewis, Derris' older sister, to testify. From the witness stand she described her brother Derris, who is accused of killing his twin, as the passive one.
"Derris was the peacemaker, he's the peacemaker. He's more like the preacher type you know he wants to make peace with everything," she said.
She portrayed the victim, Dennis, as a "firecracker."
"Dennis was the outspoken one."
The defense claims a group of masked men committed the murder. Prosecutors have tried to establish money as a motive for why 19-year-old Derris may have killed his brother.
Dianne Lewis testified her brother Derris needed a new car at the time of the murder. His car had a bad transmission. Prosecutor Doug Stead cross-examined Dianne Lewis.
"How was he going to pay for it if his brother hadn't been killed? We would've gave him money like we normally do," she said.
Instead, Dianne gave Derris money donated to the family following Dennis's death. Derris used it to buy a used car.
Dennis was killed in his mother's home on the city's East Side. Dianne testified family members, including Derris, cleaned the house once police had finished investigating it as a crime scene. She said during the clean up Derris found an envelope of money in his brother's dresser. But prosecutor Stead suggests Derris may have planted that money.
"Do you know where they found that envelope? They said the third draw down. Who said that? Christian and Derris. Did you actually see them find the money? No, I was in the living room."
But Dianne testified that Dennis did not save his money and money would not have been in the house.
"He's a heavy spender. OK. What kind of things…Clothes and shoes. He's crazy over clothes and shoes."
In other testimony, Two former roommates of Derris's say he was at his home at the time of the slaying.

4 Biotech Stocks Under $10 Soaring Higher
Array Biopharma
Array Biopharma (ARRY - Get Report) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of small molecule drugs to treat patients afflicted with cancer and inflammatory diseases. This stock is trading up 3.7% to $5.61 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $5.50-$5.77
52-Week Range: $1.58-$5.94 Volume: 631,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 1 million From a technical perspective, ARRY is bouncing solidly higher here right off some near-term support at $5.40 with decent volume. This move is quickly pushing ARRY within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit once ARRY manages to take out some key overhead resistance levels at $5.85 to $5.94 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased traders in ARRY as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $5.12, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that's near or above 1 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then ARRY will setup to tag its next significant overhead resistance level at $8.

A medium machine gun or MMG, in modern terms, usually refers to a belt-fed automatic firearm firing a full-power rifle cartridge.
In the late 19th century, Gatling guns and other externally powered types, such as the Nordenfelt, were often made in different ranges of calibers, such as half-inch and one-inch. Thanks to their many barrels, overheating was not a major issue, and they were also quite heavy, being, essentially, heavy machine guns.

In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest, sympathy or motivation in the reader or viewer.
Human interest stories may be "the story behind the story" about an event, organization, or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during wartime, an interview with a survivor of a natural disaster, a random act of kindness or profile of someone known for a career achievement.

5 Stocks Under $10 Poised for Breakouts
One more under-$10 stock in the biotechnology and drugs complex that's trading within range of a major breakout trade is Neostem (NBS - Get Report), which is involved in collecting, storing, manufacturing, therapeutic developing, and transporting cells for cell based medicine and regenerative science. This stock has been on fire so far in 2012, with shares up over 40%.
If you take a look at the chart for Neostem, you'll notice that this stock has been uptrending very strong for the past six months, with shares skyrocketing from a low of 30 cents per share to its August high of 84 cents per share. During that strong uptrend, shares of NBS have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed NBS within range of triggering a major breakout trade.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in NBS once it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at 75 to 84 cents per share, and then above its 52-week high of 90 cents per share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that registers near or above its three-month average action of 1,228,630 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then NBS could re-test or possibly take out its next major overheard resistance levels at 96 cents to $1.50 a share.
Traders can look to buy NBS off weakness and simply anticipate that breakout, with a stop that sits just below its 50-day moving average of 66 cents per share. You could even give NBS room down towards 58 cents per share if you get long off a large pullback. One could also buy NBS off strength once it takes out 75 cents to 84 cents, and then use a stop just below 75 to 70 cents per share. I would add aggressively to NBS once it clears 90 to 96 cents per share with volume.

I got Nadal over Borg now because:
1. Nadal still plugging away at it out there (Borg quits at 25)
2. Nadal was better on his weaker surfaces. A better hardcourt player then Borg
3. Demolished Borg's clay records
4. Success over ALL his main rivals (Federer, Djoker, Murray). Borg really couldn't figure out McEnroe. Nadal got the best of everyone of the main players of his era more times then not.
5. Career slam (It wasn't as important then but Borg still attempted and only managed 2 of the 4 slams while Nadal won all 4
There are still arguments for Borg, but I'll take Nadal

So.....I was at my sisters house for her birthday last night. They live in a up and down townhouse. The guy who lives upstairs allowed my brother-in-law to use his fridge/stove etc for the party while he was away.
I go up to help him bring some stuff down and this apartment is full of sunglasses. So I ask why. This guy designs eyewear. My BIL then shows me a picture of this guy with Goose and Maverick, all wearing aviators. As it turns out, this guy actually designed THE sunglass used by Goose/Maverick!
Anyways, I thought that was cool and I wanted to share.

Beta drivers fixed it for me, rather go with those than play like that.
I have the most updated drivers. I'm having the same problems. I did not have any problems until after I patched today. I think the fact that we have over 18 pages of complaints within 12 hours should be a good indicator that it's not just one person but EVERYONE with specific Radeon graphics cards.

Summer Catalog
It's time for the Summer Catalog, so Leslie decides to re-unite all the living past Parks Directors together to get their input for her welcome letter. Of course, other than Ron, all of them end up being grouchy old men who only took the money for the pay, but Leslie still writes a nice letter about them.
At the picnic, Andy and April come along to help and end up flirting as usual. Andy asks April out for drinks after and they head to a bar that won't let an underage April in. April wants to try somewhere else, but Andy calls it a night.
Meanwhile, Tom clearly wants to be a professional photographer and volunteers to take pictures of Ann and Mark (with a random child) for the cover. The plot line mostly serves to show that Mark is clearly happy in the relationship, while Ann is not. Counting down the days. In the end, they end up choosing a picture of Andy and April at the picnic for the cover.

Tears stream down your face

blessed by old, forgotten truths
and cheeks of rosy porcelain.
Solitary thoughts stand out,
like winter's barren trees.
Tainted with corruption by
the cyst of your deficiencies
and the tumor of your discontents,
(I don't care to excise them by name.)
Sarcoma to sarcophagus,
they're buried much the same.
For what you cannot bear to say
is swallowed by the dark
and swampy waters of your soul,
ignored, to leave their mark.
Tears crowd in your eyes and threaten
quick to stain your cheek.
Pure emotion, unresolved,
exhausts your will to speak.
Serene smile lifts the hopes
of those who stand beside you.
Happiness that knows no bounds,
at last explodes inside you.
The corners of your starry eyes
lend proof to outward signs
of joy that comes in rivulets
and leaves in salty lines.
No matter what the reason be
that cause your eyes to swell,
there is a sacredness in tears
that each of us know well.

Mini Chocolate Beans
The moment we tried these sprinkles we quickly learned that not all sprinkles are the same – these premium quality ones ooze flavour and can actually be tasted when topping a cake, really showing how bland so many cheaper versions are. The difference they make is massive, as instead of being there just for show, they add a little burst of je ne sais quoi to your creations, ensuring your cakes are a step above the norm. Simply delicious.
We think these beans would look fabulous spilling out from a pinata cake.

Both sides debate future energy needs and high gas prices. East Texans join the conversation too.
Tyler — Vigorously defending his policies, President Obama ridiculed critics of renewable energy sources calling them naysayers and comparing them to the flat-earthers of yesteryear.
But in this election year both sides debating pros and cons of alternative energy and drilling more domestically.
East Texans join the fray with our news partner: KTBB and host Garth Maier.

It's a new day in America. There's a Republican tide sweeping into office, led by our own House Speaker John Boehner and neighbor to the south Senate Minority Leader (soon to be majority leader) Mitch McConnell. These new, brave soldiers, elected by the slim sliver of the American population that actually turned out to vote, will lead us away from government tyranny to a shining future of... something something.
If you don't know exactly what the plan is, I don't blame ya (spoiler: it involves repealing Obamacare). Boehner and McConnell first announced their ideas for leading majorities in both houses and "honoring voters' trust" behind the paywall of The Wall Street Journal. So if you don't subscribe to the conservative-leaning daily newspaper (tweet at me if you're too young to be a reader of such antiquated technology and I'll explain what it is), well, I guess you'll just have to hear about it on the streets when word of mouth picks up among the unwashed masses.
Nah. To be fair, Boehner has also posted the op-ed on his website. For free! That's so generous. And there are sure to be numerous news conferences on Republican plans, so stay glued to your seat.
Republicans, and McConnell in particular, have been criticized by Dems and others for having big friends with big money on Wall Street, which makes this move a little tone-deaf. CityBeat offered them 500 words in our Voices section, but they never got back to us. (Not really, we're pretty booked up lately).
Funny enough, conservative publication The Daily Caller first called out the move earlier today.
Good late morning readers! After an absence last week it's good to be back. I found plenty of Words Nobody Uses or Knows in this week's issue. (If you're feeling as hopeless about the midterm election results as I am maybe some vocab will cheer you up? Eh. Not likely, but we can try!)
Best word in this weeks issue is proscenium, found in Garin Pirnia's piece about a super cool new music venue in OTR. On its own, proscenium sounds like a name of a body part (but I never trust my gut on these things; it's usually wrong).
proscenium: the stage of an ancient Greek or Roman theater; the plane separating the stage proper from the audience and including the arch and the curtain within it (n.)
In this issue: "They've since gutted the place, leaving the plaster proscenium with light-bulb rosettes as the only original intact interior memorabilia."
Next best word is lascivious, which sounds to me simultaneously sexy and creepy. It's in Rick Pender's review of Into the Woods, the fairytale mash-up at the Covedale Center that earned a Critic's Pick.
lascivious: characterized by or expressing lust or lewdness; wanton; tending to excite lustful desires (adj.)
In this issue: "Alessi also plays the lascivious Wolf." (Pender is referring to the Big Bad Wolf in Little Red Riding Hood here.) Hmm. The use of this word suddenly seems wrong, very wrong. It's insinuating all sorts of nasty....moving on.)
Ply is the next word that caught my eye. It's in "Battling Barriers," this week's cover story abut sex work in Cincinnati. But seriously, read this.
I momentarily mistook ply for pry, but both words have similar meanings.
ply (as a noun): a layer of fabric, wood or a strand of fiber.
ply (as a verb): to make multiple layers, to work at, to keep supplying or to keep asking questions.
In this issue: "They also point out that not all sex work happens on the streets and claim that the Internet has made it safer and more liberating for those who wish to ply the trade."
Next word is progenitors, in the Sound Advice column for Carcass, a Grindcore and Death Metal band. Whatever that is.
progenitor: a forefather; ancestor in direct line; a source from which something develops; originator or precursor (n.)
In this issue: "Any discussion on the origins of Grindcore and Death Metal absolutely has to include Carcass on the shortlist of the genres' progenitors."
Diametrically is the last word. I feel that most people already know this one. I do, but four words doesn't seem enough today, so I'll throw it in here.
diametrically: along a diameter; designating an opposite, a contrary, a difference, etc. that is wholly so; complete: diametrical opposites (adj.)
Philly rockers Restorations play Newport's Southgate House Revival tonight. Labelmates The Smith Street Band open the show at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.
Restorations recently released its third album, LP3 (following LP1 and LP2, of course), though the great label, SideOneDummy Records. Rolling Stone said of the new album, "When their trio of guitarists aren't busy auditioning for Ozzy or Springsteen, they summon dynamic, smartly-shaded echo caverns more reminiscent of Sunny Day Real Estate and Modest Mouse – elevating the nicotine-ravaged bloodletting of Jon Loudon, the toughest young old man at the bar, to lip-quiveringly dramatic heights." The band also had a great piece written about them and new album on Grantland; check it out here.
• Blues singer/songwriter/guitarist Tas Cru and his band of Tortured Souls play West Side club Legends tonight. The upstate New York ace has released four well-received albums and has a new one, You Keep the Money, due out soon. Here's the title track from his 2012 full-length, "Tired of Bluesmen Crying."
Local Blues heroes The Sonny Moorman Group open the show at 8 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door.
• New York City-based instrumental trio Consider the Source plays Covington's Madison Theater tonight. The self-descriptions from the band's Facebook — "Sci-Fi, Middle Eastern, Progressive, Psychedelic, Jamband, Funk, Fusion" — give a great sense of the diversity inherent in the band's music. Played with virtuosity and a sense of adventure, the threesome's unique style and entertaining live presence has earned the group a cult following across the country, in Europe and even the Middle East, as well as dates performing with the likes of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Victor Wooten and Oteil Burbridge. Consider the Source recently released the World War Trio EP (Part 1), which consists of a "six-part composition" titled "Put Another Rock in That Bag." Part 2 will be a double album due for release this winter.
Here's an extended version of Radiohead's "Paranoid Android," a rare full cover from Consider the Source recorded live in the studio.
Consider the Source is joined by local acts Common Center, Elementree Levity Project and Don't Fear the Satellites for tonight's 9 p.m. show. Admission is $10.

Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra this week announced the appointment of Kelly Kuo as Interim Music Director. Kuo will oversee the CCO's new festival format that debuts in August 2015. Currently the artistic director of the Oregon Mozart Players and the music director and conductor of the Butler Opera Center at the University of Texas in Austin, Kuo has a growing reputation as an innovative leader, educator and conductor.
Maestro Kuo has been part of the Cincinnati music scene since 2007, when he served as the CCO's assistant conductor between 2007-2009. He was the director of the Xavier University Chamber Orchestra and, in 2013, he conducted Phillip Glass' Galileo Galilei at Cincinnati Opera.
His responsibilities working with the CCO board and staff to determine the course of the orchestra, its programming and community relations. The program for the August festival has yet to be announced.
The CCO's next performances are Gian Carlo Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors at Xavier University Dec. 19-22. Go here for more information.
All right all right! Before we get to what's going on today, I want to talk for a minute about yesterday's print issue, which we're pretty proud of. Our copy editor/news person Samantha got her first news feature in, and it's super-interesting look at new developments with the Wasson Way bike trail. Check it out. Also, yesterdays' cover story is a long piece I worked on for weeks on the plight of coerced sex workers in Cincinnati. I was blown away by the stories sources shared and the immense strength of people who go through that world. Take a look.
• It looks like the streetcar funding puzzle may finally be coming together. Yesterday afternoon Councilman Kevin Flynn presented a new plan to fund the transit project's operations, and this one could go all the way.
Flynn proposes a three-pronged attack to cover the annual $4 million or so shortfall for streetcar operating funds. One funding source would be an adjustment on commercial property tax abatement in downtown and Over-the-Rhine. The arrangement would ask commercial property owners to agree to a 67.5 percent abatement instead of the now-standard 75 percent deal. That would net about $200,000 the first year and up to $2 million a year a decade from now. The second source would be a boost in parking meter charges to a maximum in some areas of $2.25 an hour downtown and $1.25 an hour in OTR. About $1.5 million gained from that boost would go to the streetcar. Finally, the city's counting on about $1.4 million a year from riders paying to ride the streetcar.
The plan has a good shot. A majority of Council has signed on, including Transportation Committee Chair Amy Murray. Even Mayor John Cranley has indicated he won't oppose the funding framework, despite the fact it cuts out the residential parking permit scheme he's been pushing. The scheme elicited only minor grumbles from the streetcar opponent.
"I appreciate a plan that won't dip into the General Fund of the City and the hard work that went into crafting it," he said in a statement yesterday evening. "I still think the streetcar is not the best use of these resources, but I look forward to moving past this debate."
• While we're talking about City Hall stuff, City Manager Harry Black today announced the launch of the city's Performance and Data Analytics Office. The office will set performance management goals with each city department, start an innovation lab to research operational problems the city is experiencing and design and run something called Citistat, which will utilize data analysis to find and address areas where the city's services are underperforming. The office will be lead by Chad Kenney, Jr., who last led the city of Baltimore's data analysis office.
"I had the opportunity to work closely with Chad in Baltimore," Black said in a statement. "I am confident that he is the right man for the challenge here in Cincinnati."
• Here are a couple news bits related to the ole' al-key-hol. Nick and Drew Lachey, Cincinnati's most famous singing brothers, have set the opening date for their bar, which will also be a reality show because that's how things work now, for mid-December. It will be at 12th and Walnut and will be called… Lachey's Bar. I really hope they didn't pay a branding firm for that name.
• Also in beer-related news, a new brewery on Harrison Avenue in Westwood is in the works. The 2,200-square-foot Bridgetown Brew Works will start by offering five brews, with more coming as business grows. The owners are currently working on construction of the space now. They say they're hoping to avoid relying on financing and have turned to online crowd-funding site Kickstarter to raise money for the venture. Even if that campaign fails, however, they're determined to open next year.
• The fight over Common Core rages on. A bill to repeal the federal education standards in the state has made it out of committee and will now be considered by the Ohio House of Representatives. Opponents of the standards say they amount to a federal takeover of education, while supporters say they simply ensure students are being taught essential skills for the modern workplace.
• Local college freshman Lauren Hill, who has an inoperable and likely terminal brain tumor, has become a deservedly celebrated figure around Cincinnati. She's faced her disease with courage and grace, and last week she got to live out a dream when she scored two baskets in a college basketball game for Mount Saint Joseph at Xavier's Cintas Center. She's also gotten her picture on a Wheaties box and received national accolades. Yesterday, she was also the subject of this really incredible piece about sportsmanship published by Grantland. You should check it out.
• Finally, if you need any more proof that punk is long-dead and that gentrification is alive and well, here it is. If you've got $2 million lying around, you can buy the house where seminal hardcore band Minor Threat played its first show. The house now features lux amenities like granite counters, a two-car garage and all sorts of other swank stuff. This time last year I was living in Washington D.C., paying an unspeakable amount to rent a room in a house with five other people. This house, which is actually kinda cheap for that neighborhood, I think, was a 15-minute walk toward the swanky side of town from where I lived.
So many FotoFocus-related shows overlap and then close in October that it's hard to get to them all or even write about in a timely fashion those that I do get to see. But I didn't want to let Manifest Gallery's Neither Here Nor There juried group show of photography and video work and its separate but related Leigh Merrill video installation, both of which closed Oct. 24, to go unrecognized. For Neither Here Nor There, the quality was overall quite high and some of the work has stayed with me now for several weeks long after I've forgotten other shows.
New York-based artist Gloria Houng won the $1,000 Best of Show prize for her "Standard Double (Feet)," one of a series of eerie shots made in a bedroom that in some way incorporate images of an apparently absent person's presence into the scene. The results cause a double-take among viewers, but the work is too elegant to be jokey or gimmicky. She infuses the commonplace with mystery.
The London-based Emma Charles, whose short films explore "the dialogue between time and the city," contributed the mesmerizing, 17-minute Fragments on Machines. Short sequences, some with poetic narration, take us out on the streets and sidewalks of the city and up close to the exteriors and (most ominously) interior infrastructure of buildings. There is beauty and alienation, especially as we look closely at the rows of servers that power modern office buildings. You can watch it here.
And Leigh Merrill's video installation Drive Thru is a deadpan looping look at the flat barren architecture of suburban sprawl, except the places were created by her digitally assembly of parts from individual photographs and images. The result highlights the strangeness — and questions what draws us as people to seek or support such development in the first place.
Halloween is officially over and I have to say, this year's costumes — both celebrity and normal humans — left a lot to be desired (and I'm not even going there with the Ray Rice costumes). In my book, a costume can be scary, funny or sexy, but it has to be clever, one-of-a-kind or really well-executed. Enough with the "I'm a mouse, duh" getups, already!
One star who slayed the costume game was Iggy Azalea. I-G-G-Y: I know I slammed you last week for your lackluster SNL performances, but you totally redeemed yourself. A little background first: There have been memes going around comparing Iggy to the Wayons Brothers in White Chicks — both because of her apparent cultural appropriation of the Dirty South and, well, because she kind of looks like them.
Iggs had the last laugh on Halloween, dressing up in an eerie White Chicks costume with a friend.
did a killer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume.
Also, Riri's back on Instagram!
It's always sad when a holiday ends — except, of course election season. Let's toast to the end of campaign ads and at least a decrease in asinine political Facebook posts. To this photobomber!
Benedict Cumberbatch is officially off the market, and he made the announcement in the most Charlotte way ever. If you're wondering what that faint sound is, it's a million CumberBitches' hearts breaking simultaneously.
Kevin Spacey went on The Tonight Show on Halloween and proved once and for all that he is an acting god, via the Wheel of Impressions.
Did somebody say, "wish"? If you were hoping for a new Pee-wee Herman movie, well, Jambi has granted your wish. Paul Reubens is working with Judd Apatow for a reboot I can definitely get behind for once.
Another mega-Yoncé album is coming this month. The Platinum Edition will feature everything from Beyoncé, plus two new songs, 10 live performances from the On the Run Tour, four remixes and some other swag if you purchase a physical copy.
Watching ignorant politicians make fools of themselves on The Daily Show never ceases to amuse. But when said ignorant politician is the Butler County sheriff, that just makes it all the sweeter (Richard Jones and his epic 'stache come in around the one-minute mark, and again at 3:30).
You may know T-Pain from his Hip Hop hits rife with Auto-Tune. Surprisingly, dude can sing for real. And he can buy me a drank any day.
Pop into Obscura (645 Walnut St., Downtown) and you'll get an experience you won't forget. The decor is fit for a scene out of 18th century France, and as I walked in I half expected to see Marie Antoinette lounging on one of the plush pastel chairs, eating cream pie and sipping on an Easter-themed cocktail. The drinks here are one-of-a-kind and offer sophisticated flavor combinations with a quirky twist.
CityBeat sat down to talk with Obscura's General Manager Brian Gehrisch and bartender Layne Schneider.
CityBeat: How did you two get a start in the restaurant business?
Brian Gehrisch: I've been in the restaurant business since I was about 15 years old.
CB: You're not worn out yet?
BG: You can humble yourself to the point where it doesn't hurt your pride to help out the greater cause. It's one unit and everybody needs to make sacrifices, from the bottom to the top. And for me, I found as manager, as long as you are that one that is seen by your employees as the hardest worker willing to do anything that's necessary to make this place succeed, typically those underneath you follow suit. So that's where we are now. The culture here is not one for all, it's all for one.
Layne Schneider: I started out in banquet serving when I was about 14, so about the same age. So we have roughly the same amount of exposure time to the service industry. I didn't get into bartending and cocktail waitressing and things like that until about a year-and-a-half ago. For almost that long we have been starting with this Obscura thing. We started training August last, so it's been over a year.
BG: Layne and I are very fortunate that we were able to be trained by Benjamin Newby and Michael Huebner. Michael was the assistant general manager at the Aviary in Chicago which is the premier cocktail lounge in the country right now. Benjamin, he won the 2010 Bombay Sapphire Mixologist competition and has since been self-training and has become a bar consultant of sorts.
CB: I was looking through your menu and you guys have very curious names for your drinks. How does Obscura go about naming their cocktails? What's the method?
BG: It's more about sticking true to form for Obscura and that is out of the ordinary. These aren't going to be your prototypical cocktails and they aren't going to get your prototypical names. The Churchill's Cup, for instance, is made with Nolet's Gin, which was Winston Churchill's favorite brand of gin during WWII.
LS: A lot of the drinks where named by Benjamin and Michael for the original cocktails. And then we introduced some new spring cocktails.
BG: I can give you a story for one of our new fall cocktails, Mood Swings. We went with Mood Swing because it's interesting. You find that at Obscura, consistency is hard to come by. Everybody here seems to be in a different kind of mood and has had a different kind of day. The Mood Swing opens up sweet, hits tart and finishes almost starchy. It's a roller coaster of emotion on your palette, which matches the clientele of Obscura.
CB: What is the strangest ingredient you use in your cocktails?
LS: We make a lot of our own syrups. There have been a few that Brian has been focusing on lately. He tried a bacon infused simple [syrup] and apple and brown sugar infused simple [syrup]. I'd say our Togarashi-infused tequila is pretty unique. We use it in our Make it Work cocktail.
BG: Togarashi is a Chinese five spice.
LS: [Make it Work] is our spiciest cocktail. If people come in and say they want something with a spice kick to it, this is going to be the first one to recommend.
BG: We are also doing a tobacco-infused bourbon cocktail. So we use tobacco from a cigar. We are using a tobacco-infused syrup. Essentially, what you do is take a cigar tobacco, about 5 tablespoons of that, and it's fermented in equal parts water and sugar. And after the sugar is boiled down, it leaves a tobacco residue flavor with the syrup.
CB: Give me your cocktail making style in three words.
LS: Unique is a good one across the board.
BG: Unique, pristine, fabulous.
CB: What kind of cuisine inspires Obscura's drinks?
BG: We are going to be presenting our new menu; it's going to be comprised of all of our new food items and will have a cocktail attached that best fits the pallet of the flavor involved. For instance, for our new vegan menu we are going to have a cocktail made of all herbal ingredients that's presented next to it.
CB: What's the best part of your job?
BG: Honestly, exposing Cincinnati to the true form of craft cocktails.
LS: We are one of a kind in Cincinnati, pretty much, so it's nice being the place that does the cocktails. Not just a bar that happens to have good cocktails.
BG: We are on the precipice of something that is new and different to a conservative market. Where craft cocktails have been present in New York, Chicago, L.A. for the last 15 years, Cincinnati is really starting to come into its own in that category.
CB: What is your most popular drink at the moment?
LS: The Old Fashioned or the Mule, usually.
BG: We have the best Old Fashioned in the city.
CB: Really? I've heard that A Tavola has the best.
BG: That's funny. Hey, listen, we could put this up to test. I have no problem getting the opinion of the rest of Cincinnati.
CB: What do you guys drink on your night off?
LS: The Old Fashioned, or one of our sparklings.
BG: Nothing soothes the soul like bourbon.
CB: What's the most important skill a bartender should have?
BG: Presentation. Having excellent mechanics, all the knowledge in the world and the ability to present a cocktail that leaves the costumer satisfied with the amount they just paid for.
LS: Also being personable.
CB: Wha'ts your favorite bar in OTR?
BG: Japp's.
LS: I would have to say the new place on Main, Liberty's Bar and Bottle. I would say Neons, too. But Liberty's did a lot of great things. I really love the internal space. They don't really have cocktails — it's pretty much like the furthest from what we do here. They have an excellent wine selection and I love everything they have on tap.
CB: Can you give us a recipe of one of your especially unique craft cocktails?
BG: For sure, we're going to show you how a Mood Swing is made.
Mood Swing

Chicago Thrash band Oozing Wound are in town tonight for a show at Rake's End in Brighton. Forced Opinion, Monitor Lizard and Iron Oath also perform. Showtime is 9 p.m.
Heavy on dark and clever humor and creative riffage, Oozing Wound is touring behind its second album release, Earth Suck, which came out Oct. 21 on the Thrill Jockey label. The album comes on the heels of the band's debut, Retrash, which received widespread praise last year from The New York Times, Decibel, Pitchfork and many other outlets. Noisey recently profiled the band, writing, "So refreshingly anti-bullshit are Oozing Wound that they could conceivably turn out to be the Nirvana of thrash."
• Grammy-nominated Hip Hop star Jeezy brings his tour in support of his new album, Seen It All, to Bogart's tonight. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $47.36.
Better known as Young Jeezy (and, to his family, Jay Jenkins), the Atlanta rapper is also quite the motivationalist. His first two albums for Def Jam were called Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 and The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102 and he's proven that that angle isn't just talk. Yesterday, Grantland ran a piece about Jeezy's pep talk to the Temple football team (which was coming off of two losses in important games) on Halloween, which was followed the next day by Temple's win over No. 23 East Carolina. The win over ECU was the first time Temple beat a ranked opponent at home ever and only their third victory over a ranked team in the school's history.
So if you're having a tough time in life right now, tonight's show might help you turn it around. At worst, you'll probably have fun.
• Pittsburgh's Cello Fury, a "Chamber Rock" group featuring three cellist and a drummer, kicks off its current tour tonight at West Side club Legends. Showtime is 9 p.m. and admission is $10 at the door.
Fans of Prog Rock will appreciate Cello Fury's winding arrangements and driving intensity. The instrumental ensemble has released a pair of album and has collaborated with a wide range of artists — from Rock acts to work in the theater, opera, dance and orchestral world.
• Veteran singer/songwriter Garland Jeffreys performs at the Southgate House Revival in Newport tonight. Jeffreys spoke with CityBeat's Steven Rosen about his "comeback," which began in 2011after he put his career on hold to raise his daughter. His critically-acclaimed 2011 album The King of In Between was his first new material since 1992. Check out the full interview here.
Here's Jeffreys performing on David Letterman's show upon the release of The King of In Between:
Jeffreys' show tonight in Newport begins at 8 p.m. and tickets are $25 at the door.

Well, folks, election season is over for another year, and we got precious few surprises last night. The GOP ran up the score in every statewide election, took control of the U.S. Senate by picking up between seven to nine seats and scooped up even more seats in the House than they had before. Rep. John Boehner picked up an easy victory and looks to spend another term as house speaker and Sen. Mitch McConnell, who at one point looked to have a tougher fight, easily won against Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes. Now he could become Senate majority leader.
The statewide results are demoralizing for Democrats. Gov. Kasich won over Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald by a huge 32 point margin in the governor's race. Attorney General Mike DeWine won an easy victory over Democrat David Pepper, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted handily beat Democratic State Senator Nina Turner, and even Republican Treasurer Josh Mandel beat opponent State Rep. Connie Pillich by nearly 15 points, despite being the most vulnerable of Republican incumbents in the election. That means four more years of a governor who has actively worked to curtail women's access to abortion services, an attorney general who has fought to preserve Ohio's more-than-likely unconstitutional gay marriage ban and a secretary of state who has worked to curtail early voting in the state.
In what is an almost too-neat metaphor for the state of Ohio's Democratic Party, now-former Ohio Democratic Party Chair Chris Redfern resigned as the party's statewide leader last night after the embarrassing showing. He even lost his own seat in the Ohio House of Representatives to a Republican challenger, Steve Kraus, who is, get this, a suspect in a burglary, though no charges have been filed yet. One thing is for sure — Redfern got his seat burgled. Yeah, I just went there with that terrible joke.
The biggest news on the local level is that Issue 8, the icon tax, passed with 63 percent of the vote. That means a quarter-cent county sales tax increase will fund renovations to the city's historic Union Terminal building. But interest in the icon tax fight didn't extend to kicking County Commissioner Chris Monzel out of office. Many expressed anger at Monzel for slicing Music Hall out of the tax deal over the summer, but 58 percent of voters weren't angry enough to choose Democrat Chris Feeney or write-in candidate Jim Tarbell over the Republican incumbent.
Also noteworthy is Democrat Cecil Thomas' easy win over Republican Cincinnati City Councilman Charlie Winburn for Ohio's 9th District state Senate seat. That means Winburn will be hanging around Council for a while longer and continuing to chair the powerful budget committee, where he's been a key ally to Mayor John Cranley.
On a national level, the election is a part backlash against President Obama mixed with a bit of an affirmation of the GOP political strategy led by McConnell, which basically boils down to saying "no" a lot. They've been able to fight President Obama and Democrats as a whole to a standstill on a number of thorny, hard-to-tackle issues including health care, a minimum wage increase, unemployment benefits and immigration over the past few years while pinning the blame on the other team. But now that they have both sides of Congress, as even some in the party concede, they'll have to try something new — actually governing by enacting policy instead of just rejecting it.
One other interesting national wrinkle in this midterm: progressive policies won the day in a number of states, while a couple deeply conservative statewide anti-abortion ballot initiatives in Colorado and North Dakota failed. Alaska, Arkansas, Illinois, Nebraska and South Dakota all passed minimum wage increases and Alaska, Oregon and Washington, D.C. passed initiatives decriminalizing possession of various amounts of marijuana.

Alan Jackson Helps Superfan Celebrate Her 100th Birthday With Special Gift
Jason Aldean may have a fan that attended 100 of his concerts, but Alan Jackson has a fan that's been on the earth for 100 years.
Jason Aldean may have a fan that attended 100 of his concerts, but Alan Jackson has a fan that's been on the earth for 100 years.
Country superstar Alan Jackson closed out George Jones' funeral service in Nashville last Thursday with a fitting version of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today.' Now, the Grand Ole Opry has placed the video online for fans to enjoy.
Still reeling from the news that George Jones passed away on Friday, April 26, Alan Jackson took some time to pay tribute to The Possum last weekend. During a stop on his current tour, Jackson covered 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' for a mesmerized crowd in Birmingham, Ala.
Reports that Alan Jackson's middle daughter Ali was hospitalized after a car accident have proven untrue after the singer's publicist confirmed the story was a hoax. A fake Alan Jackson Facebook page was set up with a post that seemed to come from the hitmaker. It was not his official page, however.
Alan Jackson is best known for his traditional brand of mainstream country, but he's also been successful in gospel music. Now, the singer is set to unveil a second collection of countrified gospel standards, announcing that 'Precious Memories Volume II' is set for release later this month.
On 'You Go Your Way,' Alan Jackson finds himself heartbroken… again. That's three radio singles in a row that focus on the wrong end of love, but not all with convincing pathos.
Alan Jackson will kick off Fourth of July a little early to celebrate with members of the military and their families at Fort Sill, Oklahoma on Saturday (6/30).
With his new studio album 'Thirty Miles West,' Alan Jackson returns to the forefront of country music. His label home may have changed since the release of his last project more than two years ago, but Jackson's reputation for constructing quality country albums remains intact 15 albums into his iconic recording career.
Alan Jackson is preparing to release his first record on his own label, Alan Country Records, alongside EMI Records. And while it may be his first album on his own label, 'Thirty Miles West' is actually the star's 17th studio release. 'Thirty Miles West,' out this summer, seems to be a personal album to Jackson
You still have time to enter to win a trip to the CMA Music Festival to in Nashville to meet Alan Jackson. You can enter right here at kixs.com or on our facebook page. But you can't win if you don't enter, so enter today! It's brought to you by Partners Chevy, Buick, GMC in Cuero... your partner in the car business.
You have a chance to see and meet Alan Jackson at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville! You can find out how right here on our website! It's all brought to you by Partners Chevy, Buick, GMC... your partner in the car business.
It's rodeo season in Texas! Seems like, around here, you hear more about the Houston rodeo than any other. But there's a great rodeo in San Antonio that's filled with fun and tradition. The San Antonio rodeo has a great lineup of big-time talent year in and year out. Take, for example, Alan Jackson. You can't get any more big-time than that.

Last season I did a short preview for a few series that were simulcasting on Crunchyroll. This is basically going to be that, but an even briefer version of it.
Chitose Get YouSummary: A little girl has a crush on an older guy. Shenanigans.Thoughts: I went in expecting Hanamaru Kindergarten. I basically got that, but not as funny. It immediately struck me how every shot seems to drag on for a few seconds longer than it should. Then it ended and I realized it was only a 3 minute show... a three minute show that has to resort to stretching out every shot to kill time. Result: Dropped. The art reminded me of a more normal Shin-chan at times but 3 minute shows aren't my thing. Especially ones that drag. |
La Storia...Summary: Magic card powered Italian bishounen fight to marry a magic card powered Italian girl.Thoughts: I like J.C. Staff despite the hate they get and all I was expecting from this was Otome Yokai Zakuro quality fights on a regular basis. This episode started off super crappy but got a lot better as it went on and ended up meh, but it did have a decently animated fight scene in it. Result: Backburner. Nothing about this looks to be good enough to follow week to week but at some point in the future I'll be in the mood for an action show with some cheesy romance elements and this will probably fit the bill. |
Tari TariSummary: In traditional PA Works form, moe kids are struggling with the ups and downs of high school life. This one's separating point is music.Thoughts: It seems like someone thought "it would be cool if people from Another and Hanasaku Iroha wore different outfits!" and thus the character design and cast of Tari Tari was complete. Kinda generic show, but it seems like it's generic and good, which I'm ok with as I prefer "good" to any other qualifier. Result: Backburner. I don't think it's interesting enough to want to follow week to week and the wait might make me drop it. Once the series is complete, I'll probably watch it at my own pace and enjoy it. |
That's it for part 1. After finishing off You and Me S2; watching the latest episodes of Hunter x Hunter, Sengoku Collection, and Space Brothers; then watching these, I'm pretty much anime'd out for the day. Overall, I'm a little bummed out. As you can see to the right, two of the series I watched today were ones I had high hopes for but neither left me particularly excited. In addition, I've heard that Love, Election, and Chocolate is a generic fanservice show with little redeeming qualities and it isn't even being simulcasted so I can't check it out for myself to see if that's true or the internet is just being stupid. On top of that, a lot of shows I was interested in watching aren't even being simulcasted, which is a stark comparison to last season where literally everything I even had eh, meh, kinda, sorta, maybe interest in got picked up.
Still to Come: Natsuyuki Rendezvous, Kokoro Connect, Choyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi, and Humanity Has Declined.

"Movie character costumes are always popular," says Wendy McMillian, merchandise manager and buyer for CostumeHub.com. "Kids watch these movies and fall in love with the characters, so it is only natural they want to be these characters for Halloween."
Expect to see these popular movie characters a lot this Halloween season:
Harry Potter (and friends): With the popularity of the final movie, it's no wonder that the amount of Harry Potter costumes seen will be at a premium this year.
Winnie The Pooh: For younger children and toddlers, Winnie The Pooh costumes (inspired by the recently-released film) will be a popular choice. These costumes are also perfect to pass down to younger siblings as the years go on.
The Smurfs: The little blue creatures enjoyed a good run at the box office, and will see continued success this Halloween. For parents not so keen on blue face paint, Smurf masks are an easy option.
The Muppets: In anticipation of the newest Muppet movie, slated to release in November, expect excitement over the Muppets to build, starting with a surge in Muppets Halloween costumes.
Disney princesses & characters: Characters like Ariel, Belle, Jasmine and Cinderella have been a costume favorite for years and continue their popularity this year. Other Disney characters, such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Cars, also will see renewed popularity this Halloween season.
Costume Hub has a fully stocked supply of these popular children's costumes, as well as many more, at http://www.costumehub.com/

"Lovely Gite with Excellent Facilities"
Our family of 4 stayed at the larger of the 2 gites in July this year. The property was lovely and clean and contained everything we could have needed. The pool, games room and badminton were excellent along with the well stocked DVD and book library. The owners live on site and were extremely informative about the area and only too willing to assist.
It was an excellent base for travelling around the area, the weather was wonderful and we would definitely stay again.

"Lovely Gite, Not really suited for young families"
We spent 10 days in the 2 Bedroom Gite and found the accommodation to be very nice. The Kitchen had everything you could need for a holiday let, it was homely and comfortable. The location is out of the way on the outskirts of a quiet little village. Please note though that this is farming land and we were unfortunate to go during muck spreading season which basically left us "Gite-bound" for the last week of our stay. The smell really was offensive and despite washing all our clothes whilst we were there, they had to be run through the washing machine at home twice before the smell was gone - it really was quite bad. On the plus side the facilities were good - great games room - perfect for older childen, laundry room, BBQ facilities. One point to note is the swimming pool was used twice as it was too cold to use so the description of "Heated pool" really isn't reflective as it's a solar panelled heated pool which only increases the temp by a few degrees, and if the weather hasn't been blistering it's a short dunk rather than a leisurely soak which left us with one very disappointed little girl. The outside however is lovely and pretty and there are BBQ facilities, tables and chairs, loungers etc. I should note that the proximity of the owners house is just across the courtyard so if you are looking for a secluded setting, this probably isn't it, although the owners were very pleasant and most helpful. The only other thing to mention is it's advertised as having wi-fi available, you need to either go into the owners house or brave the bees and wasps during the day or midges at night whilst you sit on the bench by the owner's front door to pick-up the connection - not ideal if you need to stay connected.
If you're looking for a picturesque base to sight-see that region (and I would highly recommend you visiting VITRE, MONT ST MICHEL & SAINT MALO), then the accommodation is great, if you're after peace and quiet, swimming pool, safe place for the kids and wi-fi, then i'm afraid not so great.
We are sad to receive this review at the end of another very successful season. Despite our best efforts (nature being beyond our control), our countryside location in Mayenne was obviously not the right choice on this occasion.

"Terrible Landlady, Rude, overbearing, intrusive and stole our deposit on the strength of a pack of lies!!"
The property itself was lovely a real treat of a location!! However, our stay took a massive turn for the worse when after only a few days the Husband left to take care of business in the UK. At this … More
Dear Guests,
Thank you for your honest comments regarding our property and location.
Our aim at L'Echerbaudiere is to constantly improve customer satisfaction and offer high quality accommodation at competative prices.To help us achieve this aim, we offer the majority of guests the opportunity to complete a "Satisfaction Questionnaire" prior to departure, as I'm sure you will recall. The comments written on your questionnaire were very kind and a pleasure to read.
Unfortunately, the gîte was not left in accordance with our Terms & Conditions and we beleive that re-decoration, furniture and dishwasher repairs, fosse septic cleaning (following inappropriate product disposal, despite notices), and extensive cleaning etc, are valid and justified reasons for retaining a security deposit.
Therefore, we are extremely confused, upset and shocked to receive this deeply personal review at the end of November, five months after your departure, which contradicts your comments in June.

"A lovely gite in a very peaceful spot"
We received a lovely welcome and generous welcome pack from Sylvia and Charlie. The gite, which has been very tastefully converted, was very comfortable, really clean with everything we needed (including a dishwasher and English TV!). The girls (aged 11 and 13) really enjoyed the pool, the games room and the 2 boulangeries in St Denis de Gastine. My husband and I had the perfect opportunity to relax in a peaceful garden and read a few books with a glass of wine or two. Sylvia, who lives with her family in the main house on site, was very helpful with advice of where to visit and we had some good days out at nearby towns and a lake. If we hadn't driven from the UK (and didn't really want to do more driving) we would have ventured further afield to Mont St Michel and the Loire valley both about 2 hours away. We went on a couple of walks locally which were lovely and if we wanted to we could have borrowed bikes.

"A great family retreat"
Had a lovely week staying in a quiet, rural location with clean, modern accommodation with many 'extra' facilities which really made a difference: games room (which our two children loved), swimming pool (close second to the games room), satellite tv (so we didn't miss any of the Olympics) and a DVD library which was extensive. There was nothing we wanted for and the hosts Sylvia and Charlie were friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The whole stay was very relaxing, there are supermarkets 10 minutes drive away and several quaint, medieval villages and towns within a reasonable drive. Would strongly recommend a stay , we have told all our friends and we will hopefully return soon!

"Excellent accommodation in a lovely rural setting"
We spent a lovely week in the 2 bedroom Gite with our two children. The accommodation was excellent with all the necessary mod cons and equipment. The owners (Sylvia and Charlie) had organized a cot, stair gate and high chair before we had arrived and a welcome basket was on the kitchen table with milk, butter, tea, coffee etc.
The surrounding property was immaculately kept with plenty for the kids and adults to enjoy. Sylvia and Charlie were the perfect hosts offering invaluable advice and suggestions on day trips and local attractions.
We would strongly recommend this accommodation for both families and couples.

"Peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable stay"
Stayed in the two bedroom gite as a single parent with two children age 12 and 10. We all had a great time. The owners are friendly and very helpful. The games room was enjoyed by both children as was the swimming pool (a little cold for mum!). Area is very peaceful with lots of lovely traditional towns and villages to visit nearby.
Would definitely recommend.
31 Aug 2011
"Very comfortable and welcoming"
We had the greatest welcome from Sylvia on arrival and she tirelessly made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. The houses were spotlessly clean. Syliva miust be the most attentive hostess on the planet. Both houses (which are interconnnected) have been thoughfully and tastefully renovated. The standard of the renovation work is outstanding throughout, making the places very comfortable and easy to stay in. The kitchens are well appointed with everything that is standard plus more. We also found the games room to be a valuable addition (because of weather), as was the laundry facility. Unfortunately, we were not able to use the pool, the bicycles or outside babecue area (because of the weather). However, the pool area looks great if you have the sun.
We had a great week at this gite in spite of the weather - it was raining when we arrived, when we left and every day in between - but that was just bad luck! A very relaxing week.
