    ^I thought that was just the panic stricken look with the wild darting eyes thing.

    The bus I used to commute to work on went through University of Cincinnati & past a couple hospitals. Dunno if that's why there were frequently people with mental issues on the bus. Anyway, a common thing I saw in people was "rocking". When the bus was moving these people rock back & forth in their seats - the faster the bus went the more violently they rocked. When the bus would stop - they would sit still, tho obviously spent - breathing heavily & sweating. Any clue what this problem is a symptom of?

    Kathy Wilson discusses the local alliance of COA T & NA CP, or more to the point the Chris & Chris show. " In the case of Smitherman and the NAACP and Finney and COAST, there is something more jakey afoot than what they’ve been trying to convince us is an over-taxed governmental abuse of power since they’ve been in cahoots." http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/article-26705-black_tea.html Meanwhile, they are justifying tax hikes by Rebloodlicans on the Hamilton county commission spin spin spin spin
  6. that site had potential - too bad the owner was an a$$h0le. I have no doubt Jim Berns will get enough signatures to get a primary going.
  7. "The Center City Association is currently accepting submissions for its downtown bike rack design competition. The organization is taking artists’ designs for the competition to help improve the physical environment downtown, as well as to promote bicycle activity in the city’s core." http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/news/local/downtown-bike-rack-designs-sought/nTMxW/
  8. More on Berns from the News Record http://www.newsrecord.org/news/city/article_6d6516d8-3cc8-11e2-828a-001a4bcf6878.html He wants to release certain city functions to the private sector where, he said, competitive markets will help those services thrive." but, really, who competes with many of the city services?
  9. I'm not surprised. If it was so easy, everybody would be doing it. I took some of the classes at Media Bridges & the staff really does try to teach this stuff. In one class a lady borrowed a camera held it in front of her high school yearbook (on a table) & turned the pages with the hand not holding the camera. Not only was it horrible & nausea inducing, her classmates at her reunion LOVED it. They should charge a membership fee. Anyhoo: City Bleat offers some details & clarity - something the MSM hasn't done and, as such, is good argument for Media Bridges. http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/blog-4220-city_slashing_media_bridges_funding.html

    Has anybody in Ohio got these? "A Serbian startup called Strawberry Energy has a new design for its solar powered public chargers and recently installed its eighth “Strawberry Tree” in Serbia. In the wake of the Sandy-induced power crunch, I’d love to see some of these in a public areas in cities in the U.S." http://gigaom.com/cleantech/post-sandy-wish-list-solar-powered-public-chargers/
  11. That's unfortunate. While I am more of a traditionalist on stuff & would opt for flowers at a cemetery, I understand that street memorials are very important to some folks. That said, I am assuming the guy who got busted didn't own his home (hard to get a mortgage based on pusher/pimp income) so I hope nobody decides to vandalize the house.
  12. University of Cincinnati campus ranked among most dangerous in U.S. It ranked the most dangerous colleges in America by averaging FBI crime data per capita from 2008 to 2011 for schools with enrollment above 10,000. http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/morning_call/2012/11/university-of-cincinnati-campus-ranked.html
  13. ^There's a candlelight vigil for this victim at 4 on 12/1/12
  14. Crowell-Collier back on market for $5M After buying the 1 block building for $1.5M about a year ago & carting out some garbage, Mosier Industrial Services has put the building bck on the market for $5M. Mosler claims, "they’d love to see it renovated". I have hauled trash out of buildings before but I never saw a building magically increase in value like that after I was done. http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/news/local/crowell-collier-back-on-market-for-5m/nTJc7/
  15. He seems to vote Democrip in all the primaries but his dedication is to himself more than anyone/anything else. An opportunist - no mystery at all.
  16. over in Indiana, the Hillenbrand company is diversifying, leaving Batesville casket a smaller & smaller piece of their revenue pie. Burials are down as cremation becomes more & more popular. "Batesville, which manufactures caskets, burial vaults, and urns, has been the company’s main source of revenue and operating earnings for years. But Hillenbrand has been diversifying its business model, primarily through acquisitions, and Batesville is becoming a smaller piece of the pie." http://connectingdirectors.com/articles/37355-could-batesville-be-for-sale-soon and http://connectingdirectors.com/articles/37351-hillenbrand-moving-away-from-batesville-casket-cash

    People think I'm weird because I watch Cincinnati City Council & Hamilton County commissioner meetings. Granted, I've never seen anything quite this good, but....
  19. FWIW, Media Bridges is having an open house 12/7 @ 6PM
  20. Explore Cincinnati could definitely use some visuals. At least stills.
  21. Media Bridges lost some funding. TW? Something in their funding didn't last forever & ended recently. As much as Smitherman & the the blackenomics guy use the facilities they should really pay something (and maybe they do) That people on this forum don't use it to push some of the agendas proposed here truly baffles me.
  22. Audio ads on Metro will help you get laid.

    Sittenfeld was laughing nervously as Cunningham cut him off and yelled at him scoldingly.
  24. Quimbob replied to a post in a topic in Urbanbar
    Just listened. Cunningham knows how to run the mic. Sittenfeld is young, inexperienced & has no clue. As far as Mallory laughing & acting goofy? Why not? It's a comedy show. Slitherman better keep friends with Cunningham tho if Media Bridges goes - that'll put a hurt on the local king of all media.
