It's the beginning of August and time for an update from the hobby farmer. Notice that it's "hobby" farmer. I came to this conclusion while glancing over my Twitter profile. It used to say "Musician / Farmer / Politico," but something rubbed me wrong about the farmer part so I preceded it with the word "hobby".
"Keep planting those spuds Krist, this is what they'll look like in a couple of months."
I was at the local grocery store in the produce section when the sobering moment hit -- cabbage was for sale for less than a dollar a head. Wow, at those prices all my work is for less than fifty bucks worth of cabbage! Is this how rock stars are supposed to live their luxurious lives? Absolutely!!! I love it and it's indeed quite a luxury to be able to live out your compulsions.
I'm not a real farmer because I don't make a living at it. I guess I'm not a rational grower either. Why in the heck did I plant over fifty head of cabbage? I was compelled to do so by seeing all the little starts my mother planted in the hoop house earlier in the year. It was sheer compassion for the baby plants. I had space for them so I set about planting the purple seedlings. The same went for the cauliflower. There was no financial planning, watching the cabbage market or considering distribution networks - the things a real farmer would do.
Purple Cabbage
I plan on eating fresh cabbage, trading or giving it away. I'm also into making pickles, so most of the purple cabbage will end up in jars. I've also planted a large mono-crop of McPick cucumbers and have the same plans for them.
I have neighbors who do their own food thing. One lady makes wonderful canned salmon and tuna that was caught by local fisherman. She's got this great recipe for preserving the tuna in tomato sauce with an excellent balance of spices. There are benefits to the barter system and the thought of acquiring this great food through trade gives me the energy to pull those weeds that sprout among my veggies.
It's been a cold and damp summer here in the rain forest. In an article this spring, I wrote about planting cedar trees. I'm happy to say that they're doing great. Sure, it's a dismal summer - but not if you're a recently planted cedar sapling! As I write this, a gentle drizzle is falling on the Arbor Vitae. Knowing this is a great way to punch through the damp, grey marine layer that that's been unrelentingly hanging over my head.
But all is not well here in the murky slough. Like a fool I planted corn. I'm sorry to say it's doing terrible. The catchphrase for corn is "Knee-high by the Fourth of July". Yeah right! There are a few that are calf-high, but the cold, cloudy skies are holding it back. It's kind of distressing for me, so I didn't bother to post a photo. (I couldn't bear the taunts in the comment section.) There are nice shipped-in ears of corn for sale on the roadside produce stands, and that's mocking enough.
My hops are doing well considering the cold weather. This is their third year tied to the hemlock tree I converted to a hop trellis. I've been brewing beer, so I'm looking forward to adding my own hops in the recipe.
Cascade Hops
Spuds are so far a success. They're starting to flower - as you can see in the photo above. I've heard that Marie Antoinette was known to wear potato blossoms in her hair. She did this in better days, I'm sure. I can lose my mind in gardening, but a big reason I do it is to keep my head screwed on straight.

Purchase Reason
- Fill Wall Space
While the print is nice, the frame arrived chipped and with scratches. As the frame is fairly dark, the 2-3 areas that are chipped are rather noticeable (light wood under the stain). Not happy about that, but don't want the hassle of shipping it back.

- The Artist
Albert Bierstadt's grand paintings have the transformative powers to transfix viewers with simple wonder inherent in nature's beauty. Bierstadt (1830 – 1902), a German Luminist painter who relocated to the United States, is acclaimed for his precise and natural rendering of subjects suffused in shimmering light. Overwhelmed by majestic scenery during his travels to the West, Bierstadt strove to convey its beauty to residents from the east. Known for immense, dramatic canvases of the Rocky Mountains and Yosemite, Bierstadt founded the Rocky Mountain School of Landscape Painting.

Using Windows 7, I'm trying to setup what I've come to call a "Software Raid of Folders", not completely sure it's the right term, but I'm sure anyone who knows the true term will understand what I'm getting at.
I have two folders, on two seperate harddrive, I would like to "merge" these folders while keeping them on seperate harddrive so they act as one folder. Example:
Music and Videos are to be merged together to a new folder called "Merged"
Music runs off of Harddrive 1
Videos runs off of Harddrive 2
Anything new saved inside Merged is saved within Videos that runs off of Harddrive 2
Now you see how I came up with the term "Software Raid", it's like an average RAID 0 setup, but instead I want to do it with just two specific folders on two different drives within Windows. Any help on this is apprecieated!

Ceiling-Mount Bike Lift
Overall Rating:
Customer Reviews
Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CourtneyAnn Great Product I have a small, one-car garage and this works great for storing my bike. I had a friend install it for me, so I can't speak to how easy it is to setup. But getting the bike up and down is simple and quick. I highly recommend this to anyone with space issues. December 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BECG Cealing Mounted Bike Rack Great Rack and keeps all the bikes out of the way, I purchased 3 January 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Richardcurmudgeonatlarge Great space saver We have a very small garage and two bikes that there is no place for. This product allowed me to easily raise our bikes over the hood of our cars and voila! More room. Plus the hoist aspect allows for my wife or I to lower the bike easily when we need them, instead of lifting them April 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KristenB Garage Space Saver This product has been a life saver to free up space along our garage walls. Just make sure you have a high enough ceiling! March 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by StorageGeek I have 6 of these in use I have a standard 2-car garage with a 10' ceiling. Started using these hangers for two kayaks 10 years ago. Recently hung three bikes. Am now hanging my wheelbarrow. They work perfectly and install easily if you are reasonably handy with tools and thoughtful about positioning them relative to car positions,overhead garage door tracks, foot traffic patterns, and attic floor joists above. Tips: know the direction of the floor joists if they are hidden by drywall or other ceiling material. Best to hang things parallel to and directly in line with the joist you will drill and screw into for the hanging hardware. If you need to hang a bike 90 degrees to the joists, it still works (for bikes but do not try this with anything heavier!). Just use the two screw holes in the center of the hardware, instead of the ones at either end, and fudge the distance between to something close to the distance between seat and handle bars because you won't have a choice but it still works perfectly well. For the heavier kayaks, hung 90 degrees to the joists, I first installed a long board across the joists with screws into each one; then hung the kayaks from the board, not the joists. With the normal bike you will need about 46 inches (bike plus hardware) of clearance above your vehicle or walking patterns in the room. Mine are all hung around the sides of the garage, over other stored items, so as not to bump our heads on them. It is no problem to lower them with one hand using the rope and the other hand guiding the bike out a few inches from the stored items below them. This product is great and has held my heavy fiberglass kayaks up for about 10 years with regular seasonal use. If I can find another place to hang something and get it out of my way, I will buy another one! January 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Verified Reviewer Had to Return I've heard these are amazing. But if you are installing over a car... they only work if your garage is 10 feet tall or taller. Otherwise there isn't room for a regular sized car. I had to return the two I bought. April 24, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by MelissaMosk Works Great! I would give this 5 stars, as I LOVE this product, but my poor husband said the product was a BEAR to install :) I absolutely love this product, it keeps our bikes out of the way, but is also easy for me to access, particularly since I am only 5'4" and don't have much arm strength March 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by igor free space!!! this helped free up some space in my over populated garage March 19, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Lolita Hard to work with I bought 2 of these and didn't work for my client, it took too long to bring it down and pull it up and I ended up changing it March 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by messymom1 great to get back floor space We have 6 bikes and the only way we could survive is to get them off the floor. We can put them up and take them down very easily. Great value for the price. February 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Thrista Bike Rack Very neat, easy to install and does exactly what it is intended to do. February 14, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by asha9190 Love the bike lift! My husband and I purchased 2 of these to get our bikes off the garage floor to create more space. They work very well! They are easy to install, easy to use and very sturdy. March 3, 2010

Q&A: Cole McBride Talks Seattle's Vibrant Coffee Scene"/>
Cole McBride is the sort of guy who wears a tie to work--and actually pulls it off. But the Nashville native (and resident Seattleite) is not a lawyer, or a real estate agent, or a salesman, or even an overdressed software engineer. He's a barista, but not in the way any 18-year-old who knows how to work a Starbucks' blender is a "barista." He's a barista the way Murray Stenson, Jamie Boudreau, and Anu Apte are bartenders. In other words, he takes his job very seriously.
See also:
Slate Coffee Roasters Debuts Its Modern Menu
McBride's love affair with coffee started a decade ago at Tully's, his first Seattle job after moving west. What he thought was "just a job" turned into an obsession. Stints at Caffe Ladro, Vivace, and Stumptown followed, each place offering him a piece to the puzzle: latte-art skills, comfort under pressure, espresso expertise, knowledge of single-origin beans, excellence in customer service.Now, through a mop of dark curls, the barista makes easy small talk with his customers during a guest shift behind the bar at Tougo Coffee Co. in Capitol Hill--he's clearly well-known even though he only works there a couple of shifts per month. During normal business hours, he works as the Director of Education at Visions Espresso, teaching people how to make coffee, consulting prospective business owners, and advising on the sorts of machinery you need to drop big bucks on in order to do your beans the justice they deserve. McBride helps out at Tougo because he likes to stay busy, and it's a good opportunity for him to practice for the many barista competitions he participates--and places--in.
All that education and practice hasn't been for naught. Dude makes a life-changing cappuccino.
- You called yourself "mildly obsessive" about coffee. What is it that fuels this passion?
Well coffee is a deeply amazing product. It comes from a tree that bears fruit--the coffee cherry--and inside this cherry there are two seeds (not beans). There are an unknown amount of varieties, and some of the most complex flavors of anything on the planet. Specialty coffee is very important to me and I love it so much that I want everyone to experience coffee in the way that I have.
- What's your training process like for competitions (besides consuming massive amounts of caffeine)?
The training is different for each competition, and the most intense is the United States Barista Competition. This is where you serve four judges four espressos, four cappuccinos, and four signature beverages that must have at least one [shot of] espresso in each. First, you have to find an amazing coffee worthy of competition, and for this I get help from Velton Ross, the owner and roast-master of Velton's Coffee. Then you have to develop a routine that includes talking about this coffee in detail, along with being able to describe the flavors to the judges. You pick music, milk (that goes with your coffee), and ingredients that go with your coffee. Last year my signature drink had ginger, egg whites, sugar gum, orange blossom water, and grapefruit along with the coffee, which was a fully washed Pacas variety from Honduras. While you are serving your four sensory judges, you have the tech judges watching your every move to make sure you are using proper technique. I train for about four months leading up to each competition.
- How would you describe the coffee community in Seattle?
Let's start with the fact that I love this community, as I have been a part of it for so long. There was a time when it seemed like there was no community at all, and all the shop owners, roasters, and baristas were more concerned with fighting about who was the best instead of growing specialty coffee. This has changed so much in the last few years! For one the Barista Guild of America has helped bring people together. Our community is stronger than ever, mostly because of the baristas that have come together to learn from one another and hold events that keep us connected.
- Who do you think are the local roasters/baristas/cafe owners to watch?
Roasters to watch in the Seattle area would be Velton's Coffee, Kuma Coffee, and Ladro. Baristas to watch would be Christos Andrews of Tougo Coffee, Timothy Graham of Slate Coffee Roasters, and Ryan Wilbur of La Marzocco. Cafe owners to watch is a tough one, but I would say to be on the lookout for some new cafes in Seattle in 2013. I know they will be doing amazing things!
- Which is the better cafe neighborhood: Capitol Hill or Ballard?
For sure Capitol Hill!
- What and how do you brew at home?
I brew a lot of coffee at home, and I use many different devices. Mostly I brew Chemex, Clevers, and Hario V60, although I do use an Aeropress and Kalita. As far as roasters I use for brewing coffee, I really like Kuma Coffee and Velton's as I mentioned; 3030 Coffee Co. out of Peoria, IL; Passion House out of Chicago; Sightglass and Ritual Coffee Roasters, both out of San Francisco.
Ask McBride a coffee question on Twitter, and follow Voracious on Twitter and Facebook.

Lost Alpha is a new episode of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series made by dezowave group for free!
Nice screen :)

OMG awsome =) well I dont understand russian, but still =D Awsome !
nice vegetation :)
Looks so atmospheric, can't wait to play it :D
This is so good looking.
If I'm not wrong, r1 is DX8 (static lighting). Just imagine in DX9.
Cannot wait...
or DX11 ... :p
I'm not sure, but SoC don't have DX10/11.
DX10 was adding in Clear Sky, DX11 was poorly implemented into CoP.
So your right.
I runed CoP on all ultra DX11. It was looking like ultrabright Desert Hunter xD No, Desert Hunter is nice, but CoP's Zaton looking like mix of desert and ****.
I love R1 since it's most "calm" render, without any "pop screen effects".
just amazing!
can't wait for la...
Awesome pic! I love this one, too:
thi is soooo beautiful, I'll play FDL first, but I will definately play it on Static Lightning again then, this is soooo amazing *;D
so good
maybe you should arrange the registration process a bit better for your site. I just filled it in to the best of my ability and then submitted it and it just went back to an empty form without telling me why it disallowed my last application so I try again and it does the same thing.
With it not giving a reason why how am I meant to know what is wrong with my registration form, all I can do is give up after several attempts.
The screens here look nice.
you mean the fansite? if so, ask kazakHD about it. or you mean our main site? (dezowave.com)
This is the site I tried
I'll look for the main site, cheers.
So it looks like
is an official fansite now ;)
thats the only site dedicated to our project, we know about, so yes, it can be considered our main fansite...
Very nice!
Holy sh1t, this looks incredible!
Блииин! На фан-сайте действительно больше скриншотов ^_^!! Классных скриншотов :о)!! Вот он какой должен был быть ТОТ СТАЛКЕР!! ^_^
Even on r1 this mod looks gorgeous! Perfect work!
Such a great display of that old atmosphere I've longed for so much time.
Great work!
We sent out a big pack of old LA screenshots on r1 render to our fansite. Here is one shot, but for more, you should check: www.lost-alpha.com ! They (with KazakHD) are constantly updating the news section, there you can find more r1 render screens :) If you speak russian, or use google translator in chrome browser for instance, you can also read old flashbacks of the development of LA. Pretty interesting info, nothing new, but all old info is collected and re-presented pretty well with screens.

After nearly two months of ups and downs, city leaders on Thursday announced Cincinnati will get a streetcar after all.
Speaking prior to a council vote, Mayor John Cranley and Councilman Kevin Flynn announced City Council has the six votes to overcome the mayor's veto and restart construction on the $132.8 million streetcar project.
Flynn was the final holdout in what some council members now call the "streetcar six." He was asking for a commitment from private contributors to cover the annual operating costs for the streetcar, which consulting firm KPMG estimated at $1.88-$2.44 million a year after fares and sponsorships.
The philanthropic Haile Foundation lived up to part
of the commitment by signing onto $900,000 a year for 10 years, Flynn
announced. That was enough of a commitment to move forward as the city
makes a broader effort to get all the operating costs off the city's
books, he said.
"That is a huge commitment, folks," Flynn added.
Flynn also acknowledged that the streetcar could foster new revenues in the city's operating budget and actually allow the city to take on bigger responsibilities.
Previous studies from consulting firm HDR and the
University of Cincinnati found the streetcar project will generate a
2.7-to-1 return on investment over 35 years.
Flynn, a Charterite, joined Democrats David Mann, Chris Seelbach, Yvette Simpson, P.G. Sittenfeld and Wendell Young in support of restarting the project. Republicans Amy Murray and Charlie Winburn and Independent Christopher Smitherman voted against it.Still, Cranley said he will continue opposing the streetcar project. He repeatedly stated council is making the wrong decision.
"I'm disappointed in the outcome," said Cranley, who ran in opposition to the streetcar.
Flynn reiterated his respect for Cranley, despite effectively dealing a major blow to Cranley's agenda.
Cranley "helped me get elected to this position, and I take that trust seriously," Flynn said.
Others were glad the city can now take on different issues without getting mired down in a contentious streetcar debate.
"I am so glad that this issue is done and over with," said Vice Mayor Mann, who voted in favor of the project.
officially changed his stance on the project after KPMG's audit found
canceling the project could cost nearly as much as completing it.
The final decision came at a cost to Cincinnati: The two-week pause of the project, which allowed KPMG to conduct its review, added $1.7-$2.8 million in costs, according to KPMG's audit. The city also allocated $250,000 to pay KPMG for its work.
Once it's completed, the streetcar line will run as a 3.6-mile loop in Over-the-Rhine and downtown.
Updated with results of City Council's vote and additional information.
But hours before City Council expects to make a decision, it's unclear whether the legislative body has the six votes necessary to overcome Mayor John Cranley's veto and restart construction for the streetcar project.
The deciding vote will most likely come from Charterite Kevin Flynn, who says he's working behind the scenes with undisclosed private entities to get the streetcar's operating costs off the city's books. If that deal pulls through, Flynn would provide the sixth vote to keep going.
The project already has five votes in favor: Democrats David Mann, Chris Seelbach, Yvette Simpson, P.G. Sittenfeld and Wendell Young.
Three council members have long opposed the project: Republicans Amy Murray and Charlie Winburn and Independent Christopher Smitherman.
It's a big financial decision for the city.
If the city goes forward with the project, it would cost $53.9-$68.9 million, depending on whether the city convinces courts Duke Energy should pay for $15 million in utility costs, according to an audit from consulting firm KPMG.
If the city cancels, it will incur $16.3-$46.1 million in additional close-out costs, the same audit found. But it will get nothing for those tens of millions spent and could face costly litigation in the future.
Council expects to make a final decision at Thursday's 2 p.m. meeting. Follow @germanrlopez on Twitter for live updates.
The city would save just $7.8-$52.6 million in capital costs if it takes on tens of millions in additional expenditures to cancel the $132.8 million streetcar project, an independent audit revealed yesterday. The news appeared to throw another potential lifeline for the streetcar, which can now claim a five-member majority of supporters on City Council. But with Mayor John Cranley's veto threat, council will likely need six votes to continue the project. Council expects to make a decision today, prior to a Friday deadline for federal grants funding roughly one-third of the project.
Some city leaders are trying to ensure all of Cincinnati's 3- and 4-year-olds attend quality preschool programs through Cincinnati's Preschool Promise. Citing swaths of studies and data, Greg Landsman, executive director of the education-focused Strive Partnership, says the policy could reach all corners of the city and hugely benefit the city's economy in the long term. But supporters of the proposal first must find a means to fund it, which Landsman says will likely require some sort of voter-approved tax hike in 2014. Before the Preschool Promise campaign gets there, Landsman vows supporters will heavily engage the community to gather feedback and determine the scope of the proposal.
City Council yesterday unanimously approved $20 million in capital funding for the $106 million uptown interchange project, which will allow the project to move forward with the state and Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments filling the rest of the funding gap. The capital allocation means property taxes will remain higher than they would without the project, as revealed at Monday's Budget and Finance Committee. Mayor Cranley and council members argue the cost is worth it because, as a study from the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center previously found, the project will generate thousands of jobs and other economic gains in the uptown area.
Commentary: "Anti-Streetcar Logic Should Stop Uptown Interchange Project."
The Democratic majority on City Council yesterday dismissed legislation that would have repealed controversial bidding requirements for Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) projects. Council's decision could put Cincinnati and Hamilton County on a collision course over rules governing a federally mandated revamp of the city's inadequate sewer system. A majority of council members support the bidding requirements as a way to foster local jobs and local job training, while opposing county officials say the rules favor unions and impose a huge burden on MSD contractors. Councilman Chris Seelbach says he's working with Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann to get both parties in mediation talks and end a county-enforced hold on sewer projects before the federal government begins enforcing its mandate.
The city of Cincinnati is allowing residents to put out extra trash bags next to approved trash containers between Dec. 26 and Jan. 3 in a "trash amnesty."

Cincinnati would save just $7.8-$52.6 million in capital costs if it incurs tens of millions in additional expenditures to cancel the $132.8 million streetcar project, according to an audit from consulting firm KPMG released Wednesday.
By showing the potentially high costs of cancellation, the numbers could throw a lifeline to the streetcar project just one day before City Council decides whether to restart construction or permanently halt the project.
But Mayor John Cranley appears undeterred in his commitment to cancel the streetcar project. By accounting for the annual costs to operate the streetcar, Cranley estimates the city will actually save $102 million if it cancels the project.
The city already spent roughly $34 million on the project, according to the audit. Cancellation would add $16.3-$46.1 million in close-out costs, bringing the total costs of cancellation and money spent so far to $50.3-$80.1 million.
Completing the project would add $68.9 million in costs, after deducting $40.9 million in remaining federal grants, the audit found.
But the completion estimate assumes the city will need to pay $15 million in utility work — a cost that is currently being debated in court. If the city wins its case against Duke Energy, the utility company would be required to pay the $15 million and bring down the total completion costs to $53.9 million.
The audit also put the costs of operating the streetcar at $3.13-$3.54 million a year, lower than the previous $3.4-$4.5 million estimate. After revenues from fares, sponsorships and other sources, the city would need to pay $1.88-$2.44 million to operate the streetcar, according to the audit.
The reduced estimate for operating costs could become particularly important in deciding the project's fate as private contributors attempt to get the cost off the city's operating budget.
Delaying the streetcar project while KPMG conducted its audit also added $1.7-$2.8 million in costs, according to the audit. The city allocated another $250,000 to pay KPMG for its work.
The audit did not account for the potential costs of litigation if contractors and investors along the planned streetcar line sue the city to recoup costs.
City Council paused the streetcar project on Dec. 4 to obtain the cost estimates of completion, cancellation and annual operations. The full body of council will decide whether to restart the project on Thursday, before a Friday deadline set by the Federal Transit Administration for federal grants.

More than a dozen business and philanthropic entities support the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority's (SORTA) plan to develop a private-public partnership to pay for the streetcar's operating costs, according to Eric Avner, vice president of the philanthropic Haile Foundation. If the people cited by Avner put money behind their support, they could get streetcar operating costs off the city's books and pave the clearest path forward for the $132.8 million streetcar project since the new mayor and City Council took office earlier this month. Although Cranley called SORTA's offer "woefully insufficient" earlier in the day, Councilman Kevin Flynn, one of two swing votes on council, said the idea could turn into a viable option if the business and philanthropic community provided more assurances.
Other streetcar news:
• City Council will hold public hearings on the streetcar today at 1:30 p.m., with a vote to decide the project's fate expected tomorrow.
• Speaking about the streetcar project, Vice Mayor David Mann told The Business Courier, "I'm awfully close to saying let's go for it."
• The Federal Transit Administration might prefer to deal with SORTA over Mayor Cranley if the streetcar is completed.
Cincinnati's projected operating budget gap for fiscal year 2015 is $16 million, which means City Council will need to find new revenue or cuts to balance the budget by July. Although a majority of council members promise to structurally balance the budget in the next few years, a minority say it will be more difficult than most expect without hiking taxes or cutting police and firefighters.
The 2014 gubernatorial race between Republican Gov. John Kasich and Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald is within the margin of error, according to a poll released Monday by Public Policy Polling (PPP). "Although there's been a fair amount of movement toward Republicans nationally since (November), the state of this particular race has seen very little movement and Democrats continue to have an excellent chance at a pick up next year," wrote Tom Jensen, director of PPP.
Meanwhile, Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune could challenge FitzGerald for the Democratic nomination.

More than a dozen business and philanthropic entities support the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority's (SORTA) offer to develop a private-public partnership to fund the streetcar's operating costs, Eric Avner, vice president of the Haile Foundation, told CityBeat on Tuesday.
If enough private contributors agree to finance the streetcar's operating costs, they could address a major concern raised by streetcar opponents and provide the clearest path forward for the $132.8 million streetcar project since the new mayor and City Council took office early this month.
The Haile Foundation already contributed $1 million to an operating reserve fund for the streetcar, but Avner cautions that his organization's donation is only the beginning, given all the other entities interested in moving the streetcar forward.
Avner says 14 other business and philanthropic leaders supported the SORTA concept in person or through writing in time for SORTA's board of trustees meeting on Tuesday. Among other community leaders, Avner cites Otto Budig, Cathy Crain of Cincinnati State, William Portman of the University of Cincinnati, Jeannie Golliher of the Cincinnati Development Fund, Rick Greiwe of Greiwe Development and Jack and Peg Wyant of Grandin Properties.
In a letter to SORTA, the Haile Foundation offers to recruit and financially establish a commission of community leaders that will work with the agency to create an operating and revenue plan that will require no funds from the city of Cincinnati. The letter also promises to leverage the initial $1 million investment to secure additional contributors and build a fund that would pay for a full year of operating costs.
Mayor John Cranley called SORTA's offer "woefully
insufficient" in a press conference on Tuesday. Cranley said the city will need financial assurances far above the Haile
Foundation's $1 million to cover $3.4-$4.5 million in annual operating costs for the streetcar over 30 years.
Councilman Kevin Flynn, one of two potential swing votes
on City Council, agreed with Cranley's assessment, but he said the proposal could become a viable option if the city receives more
assurances from SORTA and private entities that show the groups are serious in their offer.
SORTA already agreed to help operate the streetcar if the
project is completed, but its decision to take up the operating costs shows
an additional commitment to the project.
The agency claims bus services will not be impacted by its increased commitment to the streetcar.
City Council expects to vote on Thursday on whether to restart the streetcar project. Council paused the project on Dec. 4 while the city audits the project's completion, cancellation and operating costs.
Read the Haile Foundation's full letter below:
The announcement could provide an avenue for business and philanthropic leaders to help fund streetcar operations through SORTA in an attempt to meet demands from the mayor and some council members.
"SORTA's willingness is based upon assurances from the Cincinnati business and philanthropic communities that they will work with SORTA in public-private partnership to secure the funds required to cover the short and long-term operating costs of the streetcar to the extent other sources of streetcar revenue, such as fares, advertising, sponsorships, etc., are inadequate," the agency said in a press release.
But in a press conference following the announcement, Mayor John Cranley called SORTA's offer "woefully insufficient." He argued SORTA's assurances aren't enough to pull streetcar operating costs completely off the city's books.
Councilman Kevin Flynn, one of two potential swing votes on City Council, agreed with Cranley's assessment. But he cautioned the commitment could become a viable path forward for the streetcar project if SORTA provides more assurances in the next couple days, before a council vote on the streetcar.
SORTA's commitment comes less than one week after Mayor John Cranley said he'd allow the $132.8 million streetcar project to move forward if private contributors agree to cover the streetcar's operating costs for 30 years. Flynn and Vice Mayor David Mann, the two swing votes on City Council, approved of Cranley's proposed compromise.
In support of the announcement, the Haile Foundation also announced a $1 million commitment in seed money to spur further contributions to an operating reserve fund for the streetcar.
"We are committed to seeing the streetcar through to completion and beyond. SORTA has stepped up and is more than qualified to serve in this role. This is another great example of community collaboration helping move to region forward," said Eric Avner, vice president of the Haile Foundation, in a statement.
Avner told CityBeat on Dec. 12 that private-sector leaders are working to meet the mayor's demand with some financial assurances for the streetcar's operating costs. SORTA's announcement could act as that assurance.
If the streetcar project is completed, SORTA already agreed to help operate the 3.6-mile loop in Over-the-Rhine and downtown. But the public-private partnership would increase the agency's commitment to the streetcar.
SORTA cautioned that bus service will not be affected in any way by the commitment.
It's unclear whether SORTA's assurances will be enough to
sway Cranley, Mann and Flynn. If Cranley threatens to veto a
continuation of the streetcar project, both Mann and Flynn would likely
need to vote in favor of the streetcar to overcome a veto and restart the project.
The streetcar project is currently on "pause" while KPMG, an auditing firm, reviews completion, cancellation and operating costs. City officials expect to receive the audit late Tuesday or early Wednesday, with a council vote scheduled for Thursday.
Updated at 3:23 p.m. with details from Mayor John Cranley's press conference.
Major events for Cincinnati's streetcar project this week:
Today, supporters will turn in petitions to get the issue on the
ballot; late today or early tomorrow, KPMG will turn in audit of the
project's completion, cancellation and operating costs; tomorrow,
council will take public comment on the project at 1:30 p.m.; and on
Thursday, council will debate and make the final decision on the streetcar.
Other streetcar news:
• Mayor John Cranley is asking streetcar opponents to speak up during the public comments section of Wednesday's council meeting.
• Supporters collected more than 9,000 signatures to get the streetcar project on the ballot. Nearly 6,000 signatures need to be verified to allow a vote in the coming months.
City Council's budget committee yesterday advanced funding for the $106 million uptown interchange project at Martin Luther King Drive and Interstate 71. The capital funding set by council will be backed through property taxes, which, according to the city administration, will prevent the city from reducing property taxes in the future as originally planned. Still, proponents of the project, including a unanimous body of council, say the project is worth the investment; the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center found in a May 2012 study that the interchange will generate 5,900 to 7,300 permanent jobs, $133 million in economic development during construction and another $750 million once the interchange opens.
Congress appears ready to pass a bipartisan budget deal that will not extend emergency benefits for the long-term unemployed through 2014, which could leave more than 36,000 unemployed Ohioans behind in December and 128,600 Ohioans without aid through 2014. The emergency benefits were originally adopted by Congress to provide a safety net for those worst affected by the Great Recession. Conservatives, touting the $25.2 billion annual cost, say the economy has improved enough to let the costly benefits expire, but liberals, pointing to the high numbers of long-term unemployed, say the benefits are still needed and would help keep the economy on a stable recovery.

Medicaid expansion supporters announced yesterday that they're no longer pursuing a ballot initiative after actions from Gov. John Kasich and the Ohio Controlling Board effectively enacted the expansion, which taps into federal funds to expand Medicaid eligibility to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.
The Kasich administration expects to hand out education
grants from the "Straight A" fund on Wednesday in an attempt to reward

of Ohio's 614 school districts, according to state officials.

The Federal Transit Administration told Mayor John Cranley and streetcar supporters that it won't extend its Dec. 20 deadline for federal grants funding roughly one-third of the $132.8 million street project. Without the federal grants, the project would likely die because local officials say they are not willing to make up the loss with local funds. That means the city has until Friday to decide whether to continue the project — a decision that could come down to City Council's swing votes, Kevin Flynn and David Mann, and whether private contributors agree to pay for the streetcar's annual operating costs over the next three decades.
Meanwhile, streetcar supporters say they have enough
signatures to get the streetcar on the ballot. But without the federal
funds, a public vote might not be enough to save the project since the charter amendment only calls for using funds allocated as of Nov. 30, 2013.

In what could be another chance of survival for the $132.8 million streetcar project, Mayor John Cranley on Thursday announced he's willing to continue the project if private contributors cover annual operating expenses that would hit an already-strained operating budget. Although Cranley gave private-sector leaders and streetcar supporters only one week to get a legally binding plan together, Eric Avner of the Haile Foundation said he is quite confident that private contributors could pull together some assurances for the 30 years in operating expenses in the short time span. The potential operating costs have long been a concern for opponents of the streetcar project, even though supporters insist that they would be more than made up by the economic development spurred by the streetcar.
Commentary: "Cincinnati's Impoverished Continue to be Underserved and Undercovered."
A constitutional review panel seems to agree on a few key points regarding redistricting reform, which could fix a system that's long been abused by politicians on all sides of the aisle to give their political parties an advantage during elections. The panel agreed to create a seven-member board that would redraw Ohio's congressional and legislative districts after the next census is taken in 2020, but it's undecided how much power the minority party should hold on the board. In the last round of redistricting, Republican leaders redrew Ohio's political maps to deemphasize demographics that typically support Democrats and provide stronger spreads for demographics that typically support Republicans. CityBeat covered the issue and its potential impacts in greater detail here.
House Speaker John Boehner, a Republican, was the only federal legislator from the Cincinnati area to approve a budget deal that will avoid the threat of future government shutdowns. The deal replaces some of the controversial, blunt budget cuts known as "sequestration" with revenue from hiked fees and savings from cuts elsewhere. Reps. Steve Chabot and Brad Wenstrup, both Republicans from Cincinnati, voted against the deal because it makes cuts over a long period of time. But many economists agree long-term cuts are necessary to avoid the negative effects of budget cuts on today's already-weak economy. The Washington Post ran through the budget deal in further detail here.

New Tower Breaks Ground
On March 21, 2014 we broke ground on the first phase of Shoreline Gateway - The Current, a $70 Million, 16-story high-rise building located at the East Gateway to downtown Long Beach. This will be the largest mixed-use building built in Long Beach since the 1970's and will feature 12,500 SF of retail space and 223 market-rate apartment units.
Rockefeller Partners Architects serves as the executive and interiors architect, carrying this project from schematic design through construction. Designed in partnership with BAR Architects, the development features a unique series of public and private outdoor spaces and is slated to achieve LEED-ND Gold accreditation. The contractor, Driver URBAN, aims to complete construction by 2016.
Anderson Pacific, the project owner, held a demolition party at the job site to celebrate the start of the project, which has been in development for more than a decade. The groundbreaking event featured remarks from Long Beach Mayor, Bob Foster and Anderson Pacific's President and CEO, Jim Anderson. To really get things started, everyone at the event put on hard hats and safety goggles and took sledge hammers to the side of the building.

I'm gonna come straight out and say it - I cried when I played this. A lot. Now, this game is far from the most exciting ever made, but what it lacks in excitement and interactivity, it more than makes up for in it's storytelling prowess. It is so dependant upon it's storyline that I, unfortunately, can't say much about it without spoiling it, but let me assure, between it's well-done art style, it's captivating soundtrack (Easily one of the best in recent gaming history, if not ever) and it's extraordinary storytelling capabilities, I can guarantee that you aren't going to regret buying this. Essential
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALaputa677 | July 19, 2014 | Review of The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind Game of The Year Edition - PC
Wow....just....wow. There aren't many words out there that can properly express the love I have for this game, but I feel like I have to say something about this. The atmosphere and enviroments are the greatest I've ever seen in a game, the music is stunning and fits perfectly into the game. Yes, it has a few flaws, such as the slow intro and the mind-numbingly boring NPCs, but trust me when I say that if you're willing to perservere with the game for a few hours, then you'll fall in love with it very quickly. And as for the NPCs, you get some really cool NPCs with the LGNPC mod. Trust me, it's worth downloading Speaking of which, there's mods for this. Lots. A huge amount, in fact. Bugs and glitches bothering you? There's a patch for that. Want to explore new places and take up new quests? There's a mod for that. Feel like the game looks dated? There's a mod for that. The game was already long in vanilla, but with all the mods out there to improve the game's experience it's safe to assume that you'll probably never run out of things to do in Morrowind. Simply put, it's an RPG masterpiece, and anyone with a passing interest in RPGs needs to play this game
