    Sorta (band)

    Sorta is a rock band based in Dallas, Texas. The band has been honored with various awards over the years, including awards for individual group members, and a "Best Act in Town" win in 2006. In September 2007, the band's keyboardist, Carter Albrecht (who also played with Edie Brickell & New Bohemians) was shot and killed by his girlfriend's neighbor.

    Career

    Sorta was formed in 2000 by Trey Johnson and Danny Balis, after meeting in the Dallas bar the Barley House. Albrecht sat in on the keyboards at a gig shortly thereafter. They released their debut EP, Plays for Lovers, later that year. The band expanded in 2002, and released their first full-length album, Laugh Out Loud that same year. In 2003, Albrecht was honored as both Musician and Songwriter of the year by the Dallas Observer, while Trey Johnson received the Male Vocalist honors that same year. Two years later, they released Little Bay -- which has been called their "most fully realized studio creation to date" -- to wide acclaim. Paste called it "a batch of tunes as well crafted as any you’re likely to encounter this year." A song from that album, "Sink or Swim", was chosen by Liz Phair as one of 10 songs to be included on the Maybelline New York/JANE Reader CD for 2004. Chris Holt, who plays guitar and keys, joined the band in 2006, after having won the "Musician of the Year" given by the Dallas Observer the year before.

    Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority

    Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority, abbreviated SORTA, is the public transport agency serving Cincinnati and its Ohio suburbs. The agency provides Metro transit bus services, as well as Access paratransit services through MV Transportation. SORTA replaced the Cincinnati Transit Commission, which operated buses from 1952 to 1973. The agency currently operates 46 routes and facilitates approximately 48,000 passenger trips each day.

    SORTA is funded primarily by Cincinnati's city earnings tax, second by fares, and third by federal sources, with some other minor sources. This stands in contrast to other Ohio transit agencies, such as COTA and GCRTA which are primarily funded by sales tax. For a sense of perspective, the portion of Cincinnati's earnings tax going to Metro's budget is about 0.3%.

    Downtown Cincinnati is also served by the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK), whose transit services extend over the Ohio River into Northern Kentucky.

    Maiden Mother & Crone

    by: Sword

    The maiden sitting by her pool
    Was first to hear my pleas
    As she looked into the water
    She recited these words to me:
    Walk not down that road
    I can not tell you where it goes
    Ask me no more questions
    Some things you weren't meant to know
    The mother toiling in the fields
    Her apron full of seeds
    As she dropped them to the earth
    She recited these words to me:
    Walk not down that road
    I can not tell you where it goes
    Ask me no more questions
    Some things you weren't meant to know
    The greater mysteries
    Cannot be shown
    Divided by three
    The are the maiden, the mother, the crone
    Finally I found the crone
    Walking through the trees
    She looked in my eyes
    As she recited these words to me:
    Go before the maiden
    Get down on your knees
    Should you win her favor
    She may tell you what she sees
    The harvest is reaped
    Seeds are shown
    Multiplied by three
