Plain Kate
From the critics

Filled with the dark and light sides of magic, "Plain Kate" brims with differences and how they draw people together and pull them apart. The caustic, corroding effects of revenge, the sweetness of unexpected mercies and startling miracles all wend their way through this story of a girl with a quiet yet indomitable spirit. A girl who must make hard choices in an even harder life, Kate isn't a typical storybook heroine and Ms. Bow's solemn yet lyrical prose exposes the carver's heart in tender, breaking fragments.
Ms. Bow plays language like a fiddler does his bow, with enchantment that steals over you in spite of yourself. When horror comes, it is terrible but with its own wild beauty; when love appears, it is with a whisper that trickles into your ears like rain or a shout that can shatter walls. "Plain Kate" has a sublime beauty that raises it above ordinary faery tale and into the realm of potent fantasy.
A bit slow to get into but the characters are compelling. Very imaginative and hard to put down. Made me cry at the end but it was OK crying.
Plain Kate is alone and mistrusted by the superstitious people of the town when the actions of the witch Linay backs her into a corner. She has no choice but to give him her shadow and start on a journey to find a place she can belong. This is a deal she will come to regret. Kate is no witch, but the magic she can do with wood will prove useful. The people of the world have a love/hate relationship with magic. They will utilize this power for their own benefits, but will burn witches if they believe themselves cursed. Vengeance walks their way, and Kate is partly at fault. Although she feels responsible there is little she can achieve, and her only real ally is the cat Taggle, whom Linay gave the power of speech. Plain Kate has the distinct feel of European folklore with its witches, warnings about getting involved with magic, and old world setting. As a whole, the story needed more meat; its straightforward motion makes it a quick read, but one with unnatural progression. Answers are too freely given, and some relationships feel stunted because of the quick pace. Kate makes choices, but for the most part reacts to events rather than taking action. In fact she has no power over her fate at all. She is not a hero, she is just a plain girl.
Ended up crying and having to stop reading... Never finished it. Too sad.
If you aren't into SPOILERS cats sacrificing them self SPOILERS OVER I wouldn't reccomend it...
The rest was great but the end ruined it for me.
Very engaging and compelling read - really pulls the reader through. I didn't want to put it down. Loved the setting, the Roamers, the queer unsettling atmosphere, the curious talents of the witches and Plain Kate Carver. Loved Taggle the cat most especially. Definitely for older readers though - the violent moments are poetically presented but still horrifying.
I thought it was more of a YA book because it was quite dark. But I loved it especially the talking cat, Taggle. I cried at the end... Loved the whole world she created. I couldn't put it down. it's the best book I've read lately.
A very odd and interesting story. Not your typical teen book; it reads like a fairy tale and never goes the way you expect it to. I would recommend it to older teens or teens that read a lot. There are a couple sad moments… it made me cry but it was still a good read.
This is my favourite book. Ever.
The book takes a while to get into but like a ball rolling downhill, the action grows. Some of the magic is a bit hard to follow. The cat, Taggle, is a standout character.
The details and descriptions make you wanna fall asleep. The plot was ok😔. Unfortunately it's not a good book

What is Geberit AquaClean?
Geberit AquaClean is a shower toilet that cleans you with water after each use. The spray, with its fresh warm water, cleans you gently and more thoroughly than any other method.
What are its benefits?
Geberit AquaClean is essentially no different from a conventional toilet. You use it in exactly the same way. The difference is in what happens afterwards. A gentle jet of warm water is more thorough and more comfortable for your skin than conventional cleaning and you will feel fresher afterwards.
Is Geberit AquaClean easy to use?
Yes. It is easy to use at the touch of a button. Some models even have a remote control to enhance the ease of use.
How does it work?
While you are sitting comfortably, a jet of warm water washes you clean at the touch of a button and at a level of pressure that suits you. Some models even have odour purification. Depending on the model, Geberit AquaClean finally dries you off gently with warm air.
Do I still need to use toilet paper afterwards to dry off?
That depends on the model as well as the user. Depending on the model, you can dry off using the drier function, with its gentle stream of warm air, or toilet paper can be used to dry off.
Why clean myself with water rather than paper?
Water is the most natural way of keeping clean and maintaining personal hygiene. Just imagine if we cleaned ourselves with paper instead of showering or washed dishes by rubbing them with a cloth with no water. Water cleans more thoroughly and it is gentler on the skin.

Federal funds tied to streetcar project, Mann named vice mayor, local life expectancy varies
For the third time, a representative from the federal government yesterday reiterated to Cincinnati officials that if the $132.8 million streetcar project is canceled, the city would lose $40.9 million in federal funds and another $4 million would be left to the discretion of the state government, which could allocate the money anywhere in Ohio. The repeated reminders are necessary as Mayor-elect John Cranley and the incoming City Council prepare to delay or potentially terminate the project once they take office in December. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Chief Counsel Dorval Carter said even a mere delay could lead to the federal government restricting or outright terminating the federal grant deals. But Cranley, a long-time opponent of the streetcar project, appeared unfazed by the news at a press conference following Carter's thorough explanation. "If we have to, we'll give the money back," he said.Cranley yesterday announced his intent to appoint Councilman-elect David Mann as his vice mayor. Cranley said Mann passed the "bus test," an unfortunate hypothetical scenario in which the mayor dies after being hit by a bus. Cranley also cited Mann's numerous accomplishments, ranging from achievements at Harvard University to previous stints as mayor when top vote-getter in the City Council race automatically assumed the position. Mann promised to work with Cranley to make his administration a success and respectfully disagree but move on when the two men differ.A Cincinnati Health Department report found life expectancy can vary by 20 years from one part of Cincinnati to another. Black men in particular can expect to live nearly 10 years less than white men. The Health Department said in a press release that it wants to find out why there's such a disparity.A Quinnipiac University poll shows Republican Gov. John Kasich still ahead of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald in a 44 to 37 percent match-up, but FitzGerald is gaining ground. About 71 percent of Ohioans in the poll said they don't know enough about FitzGerald to form an opinion about him, so FitzGerald still has time to build positive name recognition while Kasich has an opportunity to paint his opponent in a negative light before the November 2014 election.Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters might be investigated by the Hamilton County Board of Elections for improperly voting.Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan asked the Hamilton County Board of Elections to cancel an automatic recount of the Nov. 5 vote, which Quinlivan was entitled to after she placed 10th place in the City Council race by only 859 votes.The grand jury for the Steubenville, Ohio, rape investigation indicted four people, including a school superintendent.Four Ohio corrections officers were fired over the escape of an inmate serving a life sentence for rape, officials announced Monday.The University of Cincinnati is aiming for an attendance record when it hosts Louisville for a Dec. 5 game at Nippert Stadium.The deadline to select Medicare coverage is Dec. 7 at midnight.Scientists could be on the verge of learning how to erase and rewrite memories.Morning News and Stuff will most likely be out of service until Monday, Dec. 2 as CityBeat staff celebrates the Thanksgiving holiday.Follow CityBeat on Twitter:• Main: @CityBeatCincy• News: @CityBeat_News• Music: @CityBeatMusic• German Lopez: @germanrlopez

FTA: City to Lose Federal Funds If Streetcar Is Canceled
Clarification necessary as mayor-elect discusses canceling project
Although it has already been explicitly stated in two letters from the federal government, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Chief Counsel Dorval Carter on Monday reiterated that if Cincinnati were to unravel the $132.8 million streetcar project, the city would lose $40.9 million in federal grants and another $4 million in federal funds would be transferred to the state government, which could appropriate the money to any project in Ohio. The clarification is necessary because Mayor-elect John Cranley and a majority of the incoming City Council are looking into pausing and potentially canceling the streetcar project once they take office in December. Cranley says he will lobby the federal government to reallocate the federal funds, even though the federal government has repeatedly insisted it's not going to happen.Carter joined City Council's Budget and Finance Committee on the phone on Monday to walk council members through the legal technicalities involved in cancellation and how the federal government would react to such circumstances. According to Carter, merely delaying the project at this point would break the city's agreement with the federal government and lead the federal government to restrict the federal funds, ask the city to repay the money it already spent or terminate the deal altogether. Still, Carter said cancellation might not hurt the city's chances, at least from a legal perspective, of obtaining federal funds for other projects. "It will not preclude you from pursuing other projects," he said. "You would just have to pursue those on their own merits." But Carter agreed with Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls that the city's credibility could be weakened if the streetcar project were canceled.President Barack Obama's administration has prioritized light rail projects like the streetcar, according to Carter, so the reclaimed federal money would likely go to other cities pursuing similarly ambitious transit projects. At a press conference following the council meeting, Cranley appeared unfazed by the news."If we have to, we'll give the money back," he said.Although much noise was made about the council meeting, there wasn't much news in the way of substance. The federal government already outlined the cancellation costs in separate letters sent to Mayor Mark Mallory in June and earlier in November.

Cranley Appoints Mann as Vice Mayor
Both mayor-elect and councilman-elect take office on Sunday
Mayor-elect John Cranley on Monday announced he will appoint Councilman-elect David Mann to act as vice mayor. "Quite simply, he passes the bus test," Cranley said at a press conference, suggesting that Mann is capable of doing his job if the mayor were to die after getting hit by a bus. "He's the one guy who can serve as mayor and preserve the city's heritage." Cranley cited Mann's numerous accomplishments, including his time with the prestigious Harvard Law Review journal and previous stints as mayor when the top vote-getter in the City Council race automatically assumed the position. Mann and Cranley promised to work together, even if they don't agree on every issue. "Your success will be the city's success," Mann said to Cranley. "When we disagree, we'll disagree with respect and go forward." Speaking on priorities he shares with Cranley, Mann outlined his intentions to structurally balance the budget, cancel the parking plan, investigate whether the city can afford to terminate the streetcar project, tackle the city's high poverty rates and refocus city funding to benefit all local neighborhoods. Cranley and Mann will officially take office on Sunday, along with the rest of the new City Council.

City: Canceling Streetcar Could Nearly Reach Cost of Completion
Only $7.5-$24.5 million left after fully shutting down project, paying back feds
Streetcar Project Executive John Deatrick on Thursday revealed that the city might only keep $7.5-$24.5 million if it cancels the $132.8 million streetcar project. That means the city could potentially spend more than 94 percent of the project's total costs before it manages to fully close down the streetcar project, which is currently undergoing construction and tied up to various federal grants and business contracts. The presentation was given in advance of Mayor-elect John Cranley and the newly elected City Council taking office in December. Cranley is an ardent opponent of the streetcar project, and a majority of the City Council says it wants to pause the project and consider cancellation. Cranley's proposed alternative to the streetcar — a trolley bus system — would cost $10-$15 million in capital funds, according to supporters of the rubber-tire trolley alternative. If streetcar cancellation costs were to reach the high end of the city's estimate and the trolley bus is paid for, the city could end up spending $140.3 million to cancel the streetcar project and build a considerably less ambitious trolley bus line — about $7.5 million more than it would cost to simply complete the streetcar project. If it's completed, Cincinnati Budget Director Lea Eriksen says operating the streetcar would cost between $3.4-$4.5 million each year, which city officials say could come from various potential sources, including a special improvement district that would raise property taxes within three blocks of the streetcar route.But the operating budget cost would be a wash if Cranley pursues the trolley bus system, which, according to advocates, will cost slightly more to operate than the streetcar. Cranley says the operating cost for the trolley bus is concerning if it holds true.Following Deatrick's presentation, Cranley held a press conference in which he flatly denied the current city administration's estimates. He says he will tap new experts to run over the numbers while the project is put on pause."We're going to bring in new, objective leadership, not the current leadership that is clearly biased toward the project and intent on defying the will of the voters, which was clearly expressed a couple weeks ago in this election," Cranley says. Deatrick's cancellation projections account for $32.8 million in estimated sunk costs through November and a potential range of $30.6-$47.6 million in close-out costs, which include construction to close the project — such as repaving torn-up roads — and orders on vehicles and other supplies that are already placed but not officially billed.The federal government has also allocated $44.9 million in federal grants to the streetcar project. In a letter released by the city administration on Nov. 14, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) explicitly stated that $40.9 million would be taken back if the project didn't adequately progress; the remaining $4 million would be left under the supervision of Gov. John Kasich, who could shift the money to other parts of the state. But Deatrick's estimates don't consider the unknown cost of litigation, which would need to come out of a city operating budget that is already structurally imbalanced, according to Meg Olberding, the city's spokesperson. The estimates also don't consider that the city could potentially forgo spending $7.4 million in contingency funds on the project if it goes through completion and remains within budget, which would lower the project's effective cost to $125.4 million. If the city cancels the project, Deatrick says it's also more likely that the city would lose in its legal battle against Duke Energy, which could add up to $15 million in costs. That money is tentatively allocated from the sale of the Blue Ash Airport as the city and Duke argue in court as to who has to pay for moving utility lines to accommodate for the streetcar tracks. Those are the potential financial costs, but city officials also warn that canceling the project could have a detrimental impact on the city's image. "That's what the city would be known for forever," says Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan. "To throw this away would be unconscionable." City officials also warn that canceling would be pulling back on a light rail project that President Barack Obama's administration has clearly prioritized. "The city-federal relationship is excellent right now," Deatrick says. "There would be immediate damage to that." The 200-plus workers currently involved the project would also be displaced. Councilwoman Yvette Simpson points out pausing or canceling the project in December would leave those workers jobless for the holiday season. Another concern is the impact of cancellation on the relationship between the federal government and Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA), which operates the Metro bus system and will operate the streetcar if it's completed. If the city is unable to pay back the grants to the federal government within 30 days, Deatrick says the FTA could cut SORTA grants for bus service and potentially halt some local bus services. One concern raised by Councilman Chris Seelbach and Councilman-elect Kevin Flynn, one of the three potential swing votes in the incoming council of nine, is whether the project's estimated return on investment is still 2.7-to-1 over 35 years. That number is derived from a 2007 study conducted by consulting firm HDR, which was later evaluated and affirmed by the University of Cincinnati. Deatrick points out the numbers were re-evaluated by HDR in 2011, and they still seem to hold true. He says there are still plenty of vacant buildings along the 3.6-mile streetcar line that could use the encouraged investment, despite some of the revitalization seen in the Over-the-Rhine and downtown areas that the streetcar route would cover. The 2.7-to-1 return on investment is also "a very, very conservative estimate," says Deatrick. He claims HDR could have relied on numbers from other cities, such as Portland, Ore., that saw considerably better returns on their streetcar systems. Still, Flynn and Councilman-elect David Mann, another potential swing vote, say they want to scrutinize the cancellation estimates before making a final decision on the project. Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, a long-time streetcar supporter who lost to Cranley in her mayoral bid, encourages a re-examination of the numbers. But she cautions, "If what has been presented today stands up to scrutiny, there's absolutely no reason to cancel the project." Flynn won't say whether he would reconsider his past opposition to the project if the numbers hold up. But Mann says, "If they do hold up, that's fairly persuasive."Both Flynn and Mann also say that they would be willing to pause the project while clearer estimates are crunched. But that could present a short time window. If the project doesn't adequately progress, the federal government could take back its grant money. Based on city officials' estimates, that provides a 30-day window to re-calculate cancellation costs and the potential return on investment. Pausing the project would also impose its own set of costs as some workers and equipment are retained. Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld, who's also seen as a swing vote, could not be reached for comment. He's currently in Washington, D.C., to meet with White House officials for an issue unrelated to the streetcar.Three elected council members already support the streetcar project, so only two of the three potential swing votes would need to vote in favor of it to keep it going.Updated with Mayor-elect John Cranley's comments and clearer, corrected numbers.

City Council Seeks $30,000 for Winter Shelter
Money would put shelter closer to $75,000 minimum goal
City Council's Budget and Finance Committee on Thursday called for the city administration to locate $30,000 to help fund the winter shelter, which would push the shelter closer to the $75,000 it needs to remain open from mid-to-late December through February. The shelter currently estimates it's at approximately $32,000 in contributions, according to Josh Spring, executive director of the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition. The city administration now needs to locate the money and turn the transaction into an ordinance, which will officially allocate the funds. Spring says that should go in front of the Budget and Finance Committee in the next couple weeks. Although the $75,000 is often cited as the shelter's goal, Spring emphasizes that it's only the minimum. If early March turns out to be a particularly cold, the shelter would prefer to stay open for some extra time, which would require money above the $75,000 minimum. But without the city's contribution, the shelter won't have enough money to stay open beyond even 30 days. Spring says the program is necessary to keep Cincinnati's homeless population from freezing to death. Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld echoed the sentiment at Thursday's committee meeting, saying it would be shameful if the city allowed people to die due to winter conditions. The winter shelter aims to house 91 people each night and kept roughly 600 people from the cold throughout the 2012-2013 season, according to Spring. "It's a relatively cheap program to run," Spring previously told CityBeat. "To serve about 600 people with $75,000 is pretty good." Still, Spring says money has been more difficult to collect this year. He attributes that to reduced enthusiasm as the concept becomes more commonplace. "When we started doing this three years ago, it was sort of a new thing," Spring explained. "It's not so new anymore, which makes bringing in dollars more difficult. But the need hasn't changed." The shelter is put together by the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition, Drop Inn Center, Strategies to End Homelessness, Society of St. Vincent De Paul and Metropolitan Area Religious Coalition of Cincinnati. It's supported largely by private contributions. Anyone can donate to the winter shelter — and Drop Inn Center — at tinyurl.com/WinterShelterCincinnati.

Streetcar supporters pack event, federal funds threatened, Dohoney to get severance pay
Supporters of the $133 million streetcar project packed Mercantile Library and Fountain Square last night to start a two-week campaign to prevent Mayor-elect John Cranley and the newly elected City Council from halting the ongoing project. The goal is to convince at least five of the nine newly elected council members to support the project. So far, streetcar supporters have at least three pro-streetcar votes: Chris Seelbach, Yvette Simpson and Wendell Young. Now, they're trying to convince another three — Kevin Flynn, David Mann and P.G. Sittenfeld — to support continuing the project; all three spoke against the streetcar on the campaign trail, but they've recently said they want a full accounting of the project's completion costs, cancellation costs and potential return of investment before making a final decision. CityBeat covered the campaign and the people involved in greater detail here. Hours before the event began, Mayor Mark Mallory released a letter from the Federal Transit Administration that explicitly stated canceling the project would cost Cincinnati nearly $41 million in federal funds and another $4 million would be left under the discretion of Gov. John Kasich, who could shift the money to other parts of Ohio. Cranley previously stated he could lobby the federal government to re-appropriate the money to other city projects, but the letter makes it quite clear that's not in the plans right now. On the elevator ride up to the Mercantile Library event, Sittenfeld commented on the letter to CityBeat, "I will say that today's news is a big gain in the pro-streetcar column." City Council yesterday accepted the resignation of City Manager Milton Dohoney, just one day after Cranley announced Dohoney's leave and his support for it. Although council members acknowledged they had to accept the resignation in lieu of the Nov. 5 election results, they said they were unhappy with the behind-the-scenes approach that was taken by Cranley throughout the process. For the year following his resignation, Dohoney will receive $255,000 in severance pay and health benefits through the city, which will cost an already-strained operating budget that's been structurally imbalanced since 2001. Flaherty & Collins, the Indianapolis-based developer that's building a downtown apartment tower at Fourth and Race streets, said it's interested in the retail space being left vacant by Saks Fifth Avenue. Northern Kentucky residents last night got a look at a regional strategy to fight the growing heroin problem in the area. The report, put together by substance abuse and medical experts, law enforcement officials, governmental leaders and business representatives, calls for more physicians and long-term treatment options to address the issue. "We cannot arrest or incarcerate our way out of the problem," said Dr. Lynne Saddler, director of the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department. "The success of this plan really hinges on having sufficient treatment options and resources available so that everyone seeking and wanting treatment can easily access it." Union Township Rep. John Becker introduced a bill in the Ohio House this week that would ban most public and private health insurers from providing abortion coverage. The bill has yet to be assigned to a committee. Becker describes himself as one of the most conservative members of the Ohio legislature. He's also supported the Heartbeat Bill, which would ban abortion once a heartbeat is detected; called needle-exchange efforts part of the "liberal media agenda"; and lobbied for the impeachment of a judge who allowed the state to recognize the same-sex marriage of Jim Obergefell and John Arthur, who recently passed away from Lou Gehrig's disease. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted urged the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission to address politicized redistricting. Under the current system, the political party in charge — the last time around, Republicans — can use demographic trends to redraw congressional district boundaries to maximize the votes of supporters and split and dilute the votes of opponents. Although Husted is now calling for reform to make redistricting more representative of the state's actual political make-up, he opposed a ballot initiative in 2012 that would have placed an independent committee in charge of redistricting. Speaking at a Cleveland steel mill, President Barack Obama talked up U.S. manufacturing and its potential for economic growth. The Christmas holiday tree arrives at Fountain Square tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the day of the One Stop Drop recycling event, where anyone can drop off electronic and other waste — TVs, computers, cellphones and chargers, No. 5 plastics such as butter tubs and yogurt containers, single-use grocery bags and used writing instruments like pencils and pens — from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Whole Foods Market in Rookwood Commons, 2693 Edmondson Road. Five crashes in Covington, Ohio, left six horses dead and one injured. More Ohioans also died on the road in 2012 than the year before.

Streetcar Supporters Pack Mercantile Library, Fountain Square
Supporters hold town hall-style meeting in effort to stop cancellation of project
Supporters of the $133 million streetcar project on Thursday night packed Mercantile Library and Fountain Square to start a two-week campaign that seeks to prevent the incoming mayor and City Council from canceling the ongoing project.Turnout was particularly strong as supporters reached the 200-person capacity at Mercantile Library before the event started. Another 200 watched the event from the Jumbotron screen at Fountain Square, according to the event's organizers.In attendance were several Over-the-Rhine business owners and residents; council members P.G. Sittenfeld, Chris Seelbach and Wendell Young; and several supporters of the project from around the city.The goal of the event was to organize supporters and begin a lobbying campaign to convince the three perceived swing votes in the incoming council — Sittenfeld, David Mann and Kevin Flynn — to support continuing the project. All three have spoken against the streetcar in the past, but they told CityBeat they want to fully account for the project's cancellation costs, completion costs and potential return on investment before making a final decision.Speakers urged supporters to contact the nine newly elected council members and raise awareness about the streetcar's benefits before Mayor-elect John Cranley, who opposes the streetcar project, and the new City Council take office in December.Ryan Messer, a lead organizer of the effort to save the streetcar, spoke about the advantages of the streetcar project for much of the event. "This is a good economic tool that helps all of Cincinnati," he repeatedly stated.Supporters have some empirical evidence to base their claims on. A 2007 study from consulting firm HDR found the streetcar project would generate a 2.7-to-1 return on investment over 35 years. The HDR study was later evaluated and supported by the University of Cincinnati.Project executive John Deatrick acknowledges the 2007 study is now outdated and the city is working on updating the numbers. But he says the streetcar project is supposed to be viewed as an economic development vehicle, not just another transit option.Supporters also warned of the potential costs of canceling the streetcar project. Hours before the gathering, Mayor Mark Mallory released a letter from the Federal Transit Administration that explicitly stated the city would lose nearly $41 million in federal grant dollars if the project were canceled, and another $4 million would be placed in the hands of Gov. John Kasich to do as he sees fit.City spokesperson Meg Olberding previously told CityBeat that the city already spent about $2 million of the federal funds. If the project were canceled, she says the money would have to be repaid through the operating budget that funds police, firefighters and human services instead of the capital budget currently financing the streetcar project.The operating budget has been structurally imbalanced since 2001, so adding millions in costs to it could force the city to cut services or raise taxes.The FTA letter might already be playing an influence for at least one of the swing votes on City Council. On the elevator ride up to Mercantile Library, Sittenfeld told Seelbach and CityBeat, "I will say that today's news is a big gain in the pro-streetcar column."Another threat for the city is potential litigation from contractors, subcontractors, taxpayers and Over-the-Rhine residents and businesses who invested in the project or along the streetcar line with the expectation that the project would be completed. Litigation costs would also come out of the operating budget, according to Olberding."As a trial lawyer, this is actually appealing," said Democratic attorney Don Mooney. "For the city, not so much."Supporters also outlined the potential damage that pulling from the project could do to the city's image, given that developers, businesses and the federal government have put their support and dollars toward the streetcar."Is Cincinnati that city that will dine you and wine you and leave you alone at the altar?" Young asked.But if the lobbying effort, cancellation costs and threat of litigation aren't enough, supporters also presented one more option to save the streetcar: a ballot initiative. Mayor-elect John Cranley on Thursday told The Cincinnati Enquirer that he would be open to allowing some sort of streetcar referendum on the ballot.The ultimate goal for supporters of the streetcar, beyond ensuring sustainable growth in the urban core, is to connect all of Cincinnati through a vast transit network, much like the streetcar lines that ran through Cincinnati before the city government dismantled the old system in the 1950s.That provides little assurance to opponents of the streetcar project. Cranley and at least three hard-liners in the incoming City Council — Amy Murray, Charlie Winburn and Christopher Smitherman — claim the project is too expensive and the wrong priority for Cincinnati. Discussing more phases makes the project appear even costlier to opponents who are already concerned with costs.In its comprehensive plan for 2040, the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments put the cost of various extensions — to the University of Cincinnati and surrounding hospitals, the Cincinnati Zoo, the Cincinnati Museum Center and the Broadway Commons area near the Horseshoe Casino — at more than $191 million, or $58 million more than the estimated cost for the current phase.But if Cincinnati never completes the first phase of the streetcar project, supporters say it could be decades before other light rail options are considered.

City Council Accepts City Manager's Resignation
Dohoney to get one year of severance pay following mayor-elect's request
City Council on Thursday accepted City Manager Milton Dohoney's resignation, setting the stage for the end of more than seven years of service that fostered Cincinnati's nationally recognized economic turnaround, the $133 million streetcar project and the controversial parking plan. The request comes just one day after Mayor-elect John Cranley announced Dohoney's resignation. Cranley says he will appoint an interim city manager once Dohoney officially steps down on Dec. 1 and then begin a nationwide search for a permanent replacement. For the year following his resignation, Dohoney will receive $255,000 in severance pay — the same as his current annual salary — and health benefits through the city. The extra costs will go to an already-strained operating budget, which has been structurally imbalanced since 2001. Although council members acknowledged that they had to accept the resignation in the aftermath of the Nov. 5 election, some said they were unhappy with the behind-the-scenes approach Cranley took to finalize Dohoney's leave. "It's certainly not the process I would have liked," said Councilman Chris Seelbach. Others praised Dohoney's work for the city, which lasted through both the Great Recession and the beginnings of Over-the-Rhine and Cincinnati's economic revitalization. "He has served the city very well. He has been a leader in terms of economic development across the city," said Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who lost in her bid against Cranley for the mayorship. Cranley and Dohoney differ on both the streetcar project and parking plan, which would have outsourced the city's parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority and private operators. Cranley opposes and plans to do away with both policies, while Dohoney helped establish both. Cranley announced on Tuesday that he, newly elected council members and the Port Authority agreed to call off the parking plan once the new city government takes office on Dec. 1, but it remains unclear how much it will cost the city to break from the plan and its numerous contractual obligations. Similarly, Cranley told The Cincinnati Enquirer in a livestreamed interview on Thursday that he will try to put an estimated 30-to-90-day time-out on the streetcar project as the city conducts a full accounting of how much it would take to cancel the project versus continuing with ongoing construction and the potential return on investment of completion. The talk of cancellation already spurred some Over-the-Rhine residents and businesses to launch a campaign to save the streetcar. Cranley insists it's too expensive and the wrong priority for the city, but supporters tout independent studies and their own experiences to argue it would spur economic development. The pro-streetcar group will meet on Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Mercantile Library, 414 Walnut St. #1100, downtown Cincinnati. If the streetcar goes the way of the parking plan, Cranley will effectively unravel two major milestones of Dohoney's seven years of service.

Quality has never been a problem with Hanae Mori. HM EDT and EDP have exceptional sillage and longevity. Hanae Mori HiM is no exception to the rule. At first, I get the same or similar notes to that of the original Curve and Mambo, nice summer fragrance...that is THE only similarities it shares with those two...the latter stages develop into a complex, warm drydown. The top notes reside to bring forth a spicy, woody sweetness, not quite gourmand, but very soothing...it definitely gets better with time!!

Need 16GB of RAM for your new MacBook Pro?
Anyone in the market for one of Apple's new Thunderbolt-equipped 2011 MacBook Pros would be forgiven for thinking the machines only support up to 8GB (2 x 4GB) of RAM since that's what's listed on the tech specs and is the maximum build-to-order option available through Apple. However online store OWC says the new 2011 MacBook Pro models can actually support up to 16GB (2 x 8GB) and is selling the 8GB sticks you'll need to make it happen. The only catch is the price, which is more than the asking price for either of the two 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro models currently available. Read More

Today In Labor History
April 01
Many believe that Cincinnati on this day became the first U.S. city to pay fire fighters a regular salary. Others say no, it was Boston, back in 1678, exact date unknown - 1853
What was to become a 13-week strike begins today in Hopedale, Mass., when hundreds of workers seeking higher pay and a 9-hour day gathered in the street near the Draper Corp. loom-making plant. The president of the company declared: "We will spend $1 million to break this strike," and, in fact, did, aided by hundreds of sworn "special policemen" with clubs. Police were drawn from a three-state area as well – 1913
(Strike! Revised, Expanded, and Updated Edition: In this latest edition of Strike! you can read about labor-management conflicts that have occurred over the past 140 years. Here you'll learn much about workers' struggle to win a degree of justice, from the workers' point of view. Brecher also examines the ever-shifting roles and configurations of unions, from the Knights of Labor of the 1800s to the AFL-CIO of the 1990s.)
Strike of cotton mill workers begins in Gastonia, N.C. During the strike, police raided the strikers' tent colony; the chief of police was killed. The strike leaders were framed for murder and convicted, but later freed – 1929
Longest newspaper strike in U.S. history, 114 days, ends in New York City. Workers at nine newspapers were involved - 1963
Eleven-day strike by 34,000 New York City transit workers begins, halts bus and subway service in all five boroughs before strikers return to work with a 17 percent raise over two years plus a cost-of-living adjustment - 1980
April 02
The Supreme Court declares unconstitutional a 1918 Washington, D.C., law establishing a minimum wage for women - 1923
Major league baseball players end a 232-day strike, which began the prior August 12 and led to the cancellation of the 1994 postseason and the World Series - 1995

Hey guys, any advise on the following recipe? I purchased a Newcastle clone from Northern brewer but I did some tinkering, substituting some Maris Otter for DME and changing it to PM. Also I changed the hops. the kit came with an ounce of Argentinian cascade for bittering, but EKG seemed a bit more appropriate for an English brown. and I'm throwing in a bit of fuggles at 5 minutes for a touch of aroma
3 lbs Maris Otter
.25 lbs crystal 60
.25 lbs. Simpsons Dark Crystal
.25 lbs. Chocolate Malt
.25 lbs. Weyermann CaraRed
I'm going to mash at 152 for 60 minutes with 1.25 gallons of strike water, and then do 2 1.25 gallon sparges, aiming to collect about 3 gallons of wort.
6 lbs light LME
1 oz EKG 6.00 AA 60 min
Irish moss 15 min
.5 of Fuggles 5 min
Safale s-04 english ale yeast (2 week old yeast cake from an imperial red ale)
any thought or suggestions are welcome!
"let me be the first to welcome our new insectile overlords"
On deck: Breakfast stout
Primary: Empty
Secondary: American Pale Ale
Conditioning: None
Kegged: Imperial red ale, Breakfast stout, Chipotle Irish red ale, Biermuncher's C3C cream ale
I don't have any input on your recipe, other than to observe that it sounds tasty!
I just want to observe that Newcastle Brown Ale is a blend of a pale beer and a dark brown beer. The pale beer is available in bottles, but the dark beer is brewed only for blending into Newcastle Brown Ale.
So there really isn't a way to scale a recipe and clone Newcastle Brown Ale. There are a bunch of recipes bouncing around the 'net, though. In fact, I bet if you searched the HBT recipe archive you'd find a couple.
One I've tried that gets close is this:Newcastle Brown Ale ::: 1.050/1.014 (5.5 Gal)Grain Bill (75% Efficiency assumed)
9 lbs. - Maris Otter - 2 Row malt
2 oz. - Chocolate malt
2 oz. - Crystal malt (60L)
1.5 oz. - Black Patent maltHop Schedule (25 IBU)
1/2 oz. - Target @ 10%AA - 60 min.
1/2 oz. - East Kent Goldings - 15 min. Yeast
Danstar Nottingham Ale Mash/Sparge/Boil
Mash at 154° for 60 min.
Sparge as usual
Boil for 60 minutes
Cool and ferment at 68° to 71° Recipe adapted and changed slightly from the one found in Clone Brews
But I must report that it's not an exact clone. Close, but not exact.
I think your clone will also get close. But I think it's going to be quite a bit stronger, darker and sweeter.

Bob's recipe looks spot on. I'd go for that one.
Thanks for the input guys!
I went with what I had, since I had it on hand. After sampling the wort, I think Bob's right, it's going to be a bit stronger and sweeter. I hadn't realized that there was such dark malt in Newcastle, but my friend brought over a 6 pack and upon drinking them, it looks like Bob's would be just about right.

*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
I knew I'd seen it somewhere! Nicely done, BM!
P.S. I have to admit I've a great deal of trouble of calling you BM. Sounds vaguely scatological. But it's easier to type than Biermuncher.

Con Gracia is a small and rather intimate venue. We chose the secret tasting degustation menu and matching wines and were definately not disappointed. Excellent service and explanations of the dishes and wines were provided.(Just one small complaint - we could sometimes hear what was being described about the dishes at the next table and had to block it out). This was value for money. An excellent choice.

Miley Cyrus Admits Madonna Wasn't Her First Choice as a Guest for 'Unplugged'
Miley Cyrus and music icon Madonna teamed up for MTV's 'Unplugged' special, but Madge wasn't exactly Miley's first choice. Awkward.
Miley Cyrus and music icon Madonna teamed up for MTV's 'Unplugged' special, but Madge wasn't exactly Miley's first choice. Awkward.
Miley Cyrus covers the March 2014 issue of W, and the image leaked online. The singer is naked, but she is also totally unrecognizable.
Shorts. Bra tops. Cropped jackets. Denim. A catsuit. A sexy, blinged out, jewel-encrusted ensemble with sheer fabric that reminds us of classic Britney Spears. That's a sampling of the ensembles that Miley Cyrus is going to rock on her upcoming Bangerz Tour.
Miley Cyrus is unplugging. No, that's not a euphemism for dropping her top. Instead, her 'Miley Cyrus: MTV Unplugged' special is set to air Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 9PM ET.
Miley Cyrus is caught in the middle of a crazy money-stealing scheme. According to reports, a woman claiming to be the twerking singer's booking agent is being sued by a concert promotions company, claiming at the fake agent stole a whopping $125,000 from them.
Miley Cyrus is a proud fashion risk taker but the results are sometimes questionable. That's what happens when you take style chances. However, the bowl cut that the singer sported on Monday, Jan. 14 is certainly not one of her best coifs.
Miley Cyrus is fronting the spring and summer campaign for Marc Jacobs. She looks great, has edgy style and is friends with the designer, so it was an expected collabo. However, Juergen Teller, the designer's longtime photographer, refused to shoot Cyrus, so Jacobs had to use a different snapper. What's up with that?!
The 2014 People's Choice Awards are celebrating the best in movies, music and television and winners are chosen by you!
Miley Cyrus gets naked and naughty in her video for 'Adore You,' the love-soaked, resonant ballad that starts off 'Bangerz.'
Ever the savvy businessman, Simon Cowell has come up with a fool-proof plan to save the troubled 'X Factor': Hire Miley Cyrus as a judge!

Mr. McGregor's Micro Cilantro
- With its sweet, bright aroma, cilantro is used in Latin American and Asian cooking. Use this bold herb a.k.a. coriander or Chinese parsley raw or cooked in soups, salads, and stews. Its assertive taste stands up well to mild-flavored foods like pork, chicken, fish, and shellfish. It's the key to a kicking salsa.Origin

La Place
A charming, peaceful spot
What we say:
Head upstairs to the small roof terrace or the light and airy first floor of La Place.
Upstairs is scattered with brightly coloured throws, propaganda posters and crayons provided so that children and the young at heart can draw on the brown paper table cloths.
Unfortunately the food's nothing to write home about but it's a great place to take a breather, and the frozen drinks are an amazing assault on the taste buds: try the Frozen Lemon Mint, Citrus Honey Freeze or Strawberry Cooler.

Then She Found Me, Helen Hunt
Movie Preview: Then She Found Me
Prepare your "ahh"s and your "yay!"s because the trailer for Helen Hunt's directorial debut, Then She Found Me, is packed with adorable actors (Bette Midler, Colin Firth, Matthew Broderick), charming moments, humor, and romance.
Helen Hunt is both director and star of this movie based on a bestselling novel by Elinor Lipman which centers around a woman who's biological mother (Midler) comes smashing into her life right as her romantic world seems to be unraveling. I'm so glad to see Hunt back to perfectly embodying the decent, intelligent woman who wears her heart on her sleeve. She described this project as a "very weird, funny story," and I can't wait to check it out.
The movie will open in limited release May 2. To take a gander at the trailer for yourself, read more.

This place has the best pub food in Atlanta. The Reuben cannot be missed or the nachos! Ask for Steve
We have always enjoyed the food & drinks at the Bat & Ball. Their Reuben sandwich is fabulous, and big enough to feed two of us. We have also had them cater a party for 75, which worked out perfectly. We just had a private party for 50 there, and I can't say enough about how great the entire experience...
I've been here several times with friends and family. I've enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the drinks and food each time. Very friendly staff and good management.
Love the hangout area in front, live music over the weekend evenings
Lots of drinks and appetizer options
Bat & Ball is a great neighborhood pub. My wife and I have been going there since the place opened and it is without a doubt our "Go To" when we can't come to a collective decision. Why? The food is always good the beer is always cold and the people are always friendly. From Steve the manager to Stephanie...
This is a real neighbourhood pub, with a decent menu selection but limited on international draft beers. We loved the sign to the "Loos" and the table service, which you definitely don't get in pubs in Britain or Ireland! Worth a visit for the atmosphere - a real locals spot.
A bit cramped inside. Fairly scattered menu of selections. All the items we ordered were much better than anticipated. Probably not as authentic an 'Irish Pub' for those who care too much about that.
Good selection on tap. Decent amount of screens for watching sports. Clean and well kept inside despite outside appearance of strip center.
Good value for price....
