5221 Baum Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA | Directions 1522440.456390 -79.941311
Monday To Sunday From 12:00 AM To 12:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Bloomfield
AMAZING!!!!!!!!! – Ritters in Pittsburgh is AMAZING!! The server was super nice an the Fried Green Tomatoes were literally to die for!! I seriously cant wait to go back. The cook even came out to thank us for ordering so many orders of the fried green tomatoes. Great experience :)
Greasy Spoon – If you ever wanted to eat at a genuine greasy spoon, complete with rude service, this is the place for you. You don't get any smiles, welcomes, thank you, so don't expect any. The servers are out of the past, complete with scowls and indifference. We actually thought our experience was funny, but I'd never eat there again. The food was tasteless, greasy, and unappetizing. I cant explain why the place is still in business.
SO RUDE, SO DISAPPOINTING – If I could give a zero, I would. They are rude, mean and nasty. Considering how bland, ordinary and greasy this food is, you'd think they'd want to treat the customer like gold. The food is wet, burnt, and appears to be made out of yesterday's left overs. They need to get off their high horse and learn that they are lucky to still be in business.
Typical diner – The first visit was really good, great fried chicken and excellent stuffed pork chops. The next visit was awful, the hot turkey was like eating paste on a plate. Prices are fairly cheap and service was good.
Cute, Classic Diner – This diner is authentic, cheap, and solid. The food is exactly what you'd expect at a diner, which is mostly pretty delicious.
Jamie is the best waitress there genna is a close second
Good service, bad food – This place was much more appealing before the smoking ban took effect. It used to be a nice little spot for coffee and cigarettes, and okay diner food. The servers there are usually wonderful, attentive, and sweet. But lately food quality has declined. I was served dry pancakes with COLD blueberry syrup on top. My boyfriend asked for his eggs extra-dry and was served a visibly-greasy scramble. Nice place to visit in the wee morning hours if you're just looking for sustenance but I wouldn't recommend this place for a meal out with friends or family.
exactly what you want in a 24 hour diner – I grew up where every small town has a 24 hour diner. Ritter's reminds me of those places with its decor and menu. The prices here are rock bottom, and it's a good option for late night dining. The crowd that gathers here is eclectic, to say the least, but one thing that is an overriding theme after midnight is a collective state of inebriation. Sunday mornings are very busy with the church crowd, so you'll have to wait a while for a table. Living in bloomfield, I used to frequent Ritter's often, and I never had a problem with the place or the food being dirty. The reviewers on here that claim that this place is filthy or has unclean food are obviously just being melodramatic and/or immature. Find out for yourself, the price is always right here. Try the buckwheat pancakes while you're at it.
If that bar from Star Wars served food... – I first went to Ritter's as a college student looking for food at 3 AM. I think the fact it is open 24 hrs, and is almost as cheap as fast food, draws students who live in the Friendship area, along the Center Ave, Baum Blvd, South Negley corridor of bus routes to Oakland, and the bar crowds from Shadyside after last call. That's why I went. I also recall the food being pretty good diner fair, like good meatloaf sandwiches and pie, and generous breakfast portions. They also have their own parking lot. At the time the convenience and cheap eats outweighed the negatives. And the negatives, I have to say in the name of honesty, included crazy people causing a disturbance, and on one occasion a guy arguing with a wall in the restroom while urinating in the sink when I walked in.
I went back recently after about ten years had passed. The food was not as good as I remember it. I had breakfast and the eggs were overcooked and dry, and the potatoes not cooked all the way through. The place was still dirty though. They have an ATM inside but don't take credit cards. And the crowd was much as I remember. There were a few students and retirees, and I think some nurses from a hospital, but there were also an assortment of characters who looked like they were fired by the circus, or drifters who just got out of jail. Scary. If my food wasn't bad enough, the smell of the people sitting in the booth next me actually made me gag. I didn't finish or bother complaining, I just paid my bill and left as quick as I could. I went there a lot as college student, and I am a late night diner lover, but wouldn't recommend it now.

Winterized in June?Just a little late.You say cracked? You have answered your own questions.Two things will fix it.Magic and replacement. and Billy Maze is dead.............Upper
Hi everyone I'm new to this list and am really in need of help with our irrigation system. Just started using it a few weeks ago and my wife noticed this week that the vacuum pressure breaker is leaking.I'm trying to save a call to our installer. Anyway all the zones have normal pressure. The breaker leaks when the intake valve is both closed and opened.
I don't know if it's relevant but both the turn controls for both the intake and outtake ball valves are pretty rusty. I can't turn either by hand have to use a pair of pliers to turn. I also noticed the canopy is cracked around one of the screw holes.
I opened the thing today removing the bonnet,spring, and poppet. Could not get the spider assembly out. I'm not sure what to look for with these inner parts but they seem fine.
This breaker is a Wilkins 720A installed in 2003. I have it winterized every year;last year we did it a little later sometime in June.
Any advice is appreciated. From what I've seen on the internet I could order and replace a whole new valve for less than paying for a service call.When do you know if replacing parts is the way to go?
Thanks for your help

If there is a crack in the case, you must buy a new unit. In my area, these backflow devices are required to be be inspected by a licensed inspector and re-certified each spring. Failure to do so results in the water being shut off. Usually they check out OK, but every so often the seals begin to fail and must be replaced. What was the point of winterizing in June? I start irrigating my lawn in early April and continue until mid October. That's when I blow the lines and winterize. You have to get all of the water out of the housing or it can freeze and break the case.
Tip, when you replace, tighten the packing nut to each ball valve. Most of them leak ever so slightly new out of the box(contributing to the rusting handle), especially on febco's.
Need to correct myself. We winterized the unit last November don't know why I typed June! One thing I want to make sure I understand. So if the canopy itself is cracked that by itself is an indication the unit needs replacing?
A picture would help make sure we understand exactly what the "canopy" is. But, if this is part of the casting of the unit and not a part that might be removed and replaced, then it would require a whole new unit. It could be that a small amount of water remained after winterizing. Yeah, I often type June when I mean November At least we know you're not completely wacko!
The canopy is the black plastic cover over the bonnet.
I took the unit apart again yesterday and took a closer look. I guess the poppet is the rubber piece underneath the spring.Anyway there is a small tear or hole around the screw going into the top of the poppet. I guess that's enough to make it leak? Is that true? I think I'll first replace the poppet and spider assembly and canopy as the housing is not leaking and I don't want to mess with the PVC fittings as I've never done that stuff before.

Plenty of wins for club's fighters
12:30pm Wednesday 18th December 2013 in Sport
MICHAEL Pardoe lived up to his top billing with an excellent display at Stoke Prior on Sunday.
The 27-year-old welterweight outpointed Plymouth's Wes Smith in an entertaining bout.
There were several other excellent displays from Droitwich Amateur Boxing Club members.
Light-middleweight Aidan Cawley, 21, showed good skills to outscore the game Josh Kirby.
Light-heavyweight Jon Childs, 30, powered his way to victory, with the referee stopping his contest against Oldbury's Tom Moore in the second round.
Luke Evans, 15, was too strong for Lewis Pritchard, while Joe Doyle, 11, was another winner by a wide margin, comprehensively out-boxing the more experienced Ethan Shallam from Newport.
There were also wins for Lewis Smith, Tyrone Manley and Richard Evans.

The branches of the region's apple trees are heavy with apples ripe for the picking. At orchards in Mystic, Gales Ferry, East Lyme and Preston varieties such as Macintosh, Macoun and Empire, are plentiful and expected to continue to be so for most of October.
"We're having a great season, there's a very good supply of apples," Amy Holmberg of Holmberg Orchards in Gales Ferry said.
Holmberg Orchards along with many of the local pick your own places like Whittles in Mystic are already in the midst of the apple-picking season, and depending on the weather will be open right up to Halloween.
"It's been really good, we've had no problems," Bethany McGuggon of Whittles said.
In New London County apple pickers will find up to seven varieties of apples. Most varieties, like the Macintosh, Macoun and the red and golden delicious apples are sweet and soft enough to eat right from the tree.
Varieties, like the Pippin, Russet and Baldwin are better suited for cider or pies, and are hardy enough to store through the winter.
Linda Piotrowicz from the Connecticut Department of Agriculture said they expect the season for pick-your-own apples to be very strong, and that while the late spring frost destroyed some apple crops it has mainly been wholesale suppliers affected.
"The quality is good, the weather is great, it's a great time to get outside," Piotrowicz said.
Grab some reusable totes and head to the nearest pick your own apple orchard:
Holmberg Orchards
Everyday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
12 Orchard Lane, Gales Ferry, Conn.
Maple Lane Farms
Everyday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
57 N.W. Corner Rd. Preston, Conn.
Check website for hours
436 Boston Post Rd. East Lyme, Conn.
Whittle's Willow Spring Farm
Mon. to Sat. 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sun. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
1030 Noank Ledyard Rd. Mystic, Conn.
And if after you've brought your haul back home you're not sure what to do with all those apples make one of these delicious dishes:
Apple And Rhubarb Cobbler With Vanilla Sauce: This is a nice comfort-food dessert to serve on a crisp fall evening. Rhubarb is still around and apples are of course, aplenty
Nobby Apple Cake: This apple cake looks like a cake but tastes as good as a pie. It is easy to make and travels well.
Rustic Apple Pie With The World's Best Crust: This crust, which is a cinch to make in a food processor, totally delivers on taste, flakiness and ease to work with. I will never lose this recipe!

Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2007
|The climb up Harvard was quite scenic and very enjoyable on a great trail. The descent below the saddle (12,700') with Columbia was pretty good but the low point and the first part of the ascent up to Columbia was pretty rough with lots of boulders, medium snow fields, lots of zig zagging, etc. If I had to do this again I would go even lower to avoid this mess. A minor system with thunder just to the east resulted in us spending just a minute or so on the summit of Columbia. We even had a little snow for about 30 minutes. The descent down Columbia was pretty rough but I didn't think it was as bad as advertised as long as you find the loose trail and don't go down the scree. Overall a long but scenic day!

We had a few episodes of steady rain on the way up, but then a storm rolled in as we were coming down. The wind really picked up, and we had some pelletized snow. That was not pleasant at all. There were a few crashes of very loud thunder as well. The sky did clear up as we arrived back at treeline.

*** empty log message ***
Better classifacation on frames on the stack. Make variables in eval frames accessible to the debugger. (frame-type, *frame-prefixes*, frame-to-string, is-prefix-p) (frame-string-type, boring-frame-p): New. (%frame-count-vars, %frame-var-name, %frame-var-value) (frame-venv, next-venv, venv-ref, %parse-stack-values): Replaces old frame-do-venv. (extract-frame-line, extract-function-name, split-frame-string) (string-match): New code to print frames. (frame-locals, frame-var-value): Use the new stuff. (inspect-for-emacs): Fix various bugs.
(make-weak-key-hash-table, make-weak-value-hash-table): Implement for CLISP, so that the REPL results history does not cause "memory leaks".
(find-external-format, guess-external-format): New. (swank-compile-file): The external-format argument is now a backend specific value returned by find-external-format. Update implementations accordingly.
swank-backend.lisp (definterface): Drop that incredibly unportable CLOS stuff. Use plists and plain functions instead. Update backends accordingly.
* Improve the robustness of connection establishment.
(accept-connection): New argument: buffering.
(compute-backtrace): Include only "function frames" in the backtrace. I hope that makes some sense. (sldb-backtrace, function-frame-p): New functions. (*sldb-backtrace*, call-with-debugging-environment, nth-frame): Compute and remember the backtrace when entering the debugger. (arglist): If the function has a function-lambda-expression, fetch the arglist from there. (find-encoding): Use strings instead of 'charset:foo symbols to avoid compile time problems if the charset is not available. Suggested by Vaucher Laurent.
Add EUC-JP as coding system. This patch eliminates the requirement of Mule-UCS to use Japanese characters. (Nice for pre-22 Emacs users.) Patch from NIIMI Satoshi.
(fspec-pathname): Cope with CVS CLISP's (documentation symbol 'sys::file) returning a list. Return either a list of start and end line positions or nil as second value. (fspec-location): Use it. Also, if we have to guess the name of a source file make sure that it actually exists. (with-blocked-signals, call-without-interrupts): Don't add :linux to *features* since this changes the return value of unique-directory-name in swank-loader.lisp. Comment out with-blocked-signals. Update some comments at the top of the file. State the licence in the same terms as slime.el does.
*** empty log message ***
(fspec-pathname): Use the documentation function instead of accessing clisp internals.
(swank-compile-file): New optional argument `external-format'.
(describe-symbol-for-emacs): Report :setf and :type where appropriate. (getpid): Explicitly define it as foreign function on WIN32.
(getpid): Use defimplementation. Define always (slime needs it).
(describe-symbol-for-emacs): Report :alien-type when the name is known as foreign type.
Distinguish macro and special operators from functions.
*** empty log message ***
(*buffer-name* *buffer-offset*): Move definitions upward before the first use.
Minor cleanups.
(accept-connection): The :external-format argument defaults now to :iso-latin-1-unix.
(accept-connection): Accept :external-format as argument.
Undo previous change.
Add workaround for CLISP's broken control string parser.
(getpid)[win32]: Use win32:|GetCurrentProcessId|. From Reini Urban.
Export eql-specializer, eql-specializer-object and specializer-direct-methods from swank-mop.
*** empty log message ***
(swank-mop, inspect-for-emacs): Only define the CLOS parts of the inspector if the underlying lisp provides the required functionality. If not enough MOP is present to implement the inspector then we define some very simple replacement methods.
(swank-mop): Implement the MOP compatability package. (inspectod-for-emacs): Update for new inspection API.
Adding directory argument to swank-compile-string.
(frame-var-value): New backend function.
Renamed XREF package to PXREF (P for portable). This makes it possible to load the package in e.g. CMUCL, which is nice because it's a good package.
(compiler-note-location): Use make-location to instead of `(:location ...). This initializes the new hint slot.
(arglist): Trap exceptions and :not-available in that case.
See ChangeLog entry 2004-04-06 Marco Baringer
(set-default-directory): New function. Patch from Alan Shutko. (xref-results): Use fspec-location instead of the of fspec-source-locations. (break): Be friendly to case-inverting readtables.
(swank-compile-string): Be friendly to case-inverting readtables.
(find-definitions): Some tweaking.
Merge package-split branch into main trunk.
See ChangeLog entry 2004-03-05 Marco Baringer
(thread-alive-p): Add default implementation. (describe-primitive-type): Add default implementation. (inspected-parts): Implemented for Allegro and CLISP.
(call-with-compilation-hooks): Bind fewer variables. Most of them are already bound in swank.lisp.
* slime.el: Various bits of support for maintaining multiple SLIME connections to different Lisp implementations simultaneously. * swank-{backend,cmucl,sbcl,clisp,lispworks,openmcl}.lisp (lisp-implementation-type-name): Add function to return simple name of lisp implementation; used by new multi-connection functionality in slime.el.
Update comments about metering package.
(remove-input-handlers): socket:socket-stream-handle is not available on Windows. Reported by Alan Shutko.
(set-sigio-handler, add-input-handler): Conditionalize for linux.
(create-socket): Take interface as argument.
Add profiling support via Kantrowitz's metering package. Reporting needs to be refined (profile-package currently ignores callers-p and methods).
Merge stateless-emacs branch into main trunk.
Replace defmethod by defimplementation where appropriate. (return-from-frame, restart-frame): Implement them.
swank-clisp.lisp (call-without-interrupts): Evaluate linux:SIGFOO at read time since the macro with-blocked-signals expects a fixnum. (compile-file-for-emacs): Comment fix.
(arglist-string): Refactor common code to swank.lisp. (call-without-interrupts, getpid): Are now generic functions.
(compile-file-for-emacs, split-compiler-note-line): Revert last change. (handle-notification-condition): Don't signal the condition. (*compiler-note-line-regexp*): Fix and rewrite it as extended regexp.
(with-blocked-signals): New macro. (without-interrupts): Use it. (*use-dedicated-output-stream*, *redirect-output*): Don't set them here, use the default settings. Make :linux one of *features* if we find the "LINUX" package.
(accept-connection): Remove superfluous call to socket-wait.
(create-socket, local-port, close-socket, accept-connection) (add-input-handler, spawn): Implement new socket interface.
Updated for new network interface but not tested! Probably slightly broken.
File compilation and loading somewhat work now. CLISP's compile-file returns some nutty number codes for warning-p and failure-p. Meaningful compilation messages still on to-do list.
Added support for the new backend.
Add methods for GRAY:STREAM-READ-CHAR-NO-HANG and for the CLISP specific GRAY:STREAM-READ-CHAR-WILL-HANG-P. This should fix the behaviour of SYS::READ-FORM.
Minor update of CLISP backend (streams, portability). eval-region is now do-based (that loop was just waiting to be scratched :).
(format-condition-for-emacs): Replaced with debugger-condition-for-emacs. (backtrace): Use print-with-frame-label. (frame-locals): Rename the :symbol property to :name.
New file. Merged with Vladimir's version.

2011 Predictions
Which projects, people, products, and events will capture our attention in 2011?
Rikki asks the Magic 8 Ball (actually, her Facebook friends) what 2011 will bring. Also, updates on Gnome and CeBIT.
New Year's might be my favorite holiday – no one expects any gifts, we all get a fresh start, and a toast and midnight kiss is encouraged. Best of all, New Year's is cross-cultural, celebrated by Linux users and their Windows-running friends alike. In the spirit of fresh starts and New Year's resolutions, I asked my Facebook friends to chime in with their 2011 predictions for the tech world. Luckily, my friends have strong opinions and are always eager to share them!

Thank You to Our Supporters
On behalf of the Board, staff and volunteers at the Medicare Rights Center, I would like to thank all of the supporters who made our 2013 Awards Dinner such a success.
It is through their support that we will be able to advance our mission of working to ensure access to affordable health care for older adults and people with disabilities through our programs in counseling and advocacy, education and public policy initiatives. We will be able to broaden our outreach in states across the country with programs including Seniors Out Speaking –which now reaches more than 60,000 individuals.
We were truly privileged to honor Elizabeth J. Fowler, Vice President, Global Health Policy at Johnson & Johnson; Janella T. Hinds, Vice President, United Federation of Teachers and Secretary-Treasurer, NYS AFL-CIO, Central Labor Council; and Dr. Steven M. Safyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Montefiore Medical Center, for their visionary leadership in improving health care quality and increasing access to care for all Americans.
We again thank our supporters for being part of the Medicare Rights Center's awards dinner. We look forward to sharing our initiatives, news, and achievements as they develop throughout the year.

Saints Basketball Receives Votes in Latest Poll
NABC DII Poll
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia College & State University men's basketball team received six votes in the latest NABC/Division II Men's Basketball Poll released Tuesday afternoon.
The weekly poll is conducted by eight members of the NABC Division II Congress, one representing each of the eight NCAA Division II regions.
North Georgia is currently 5-1 with their only loss coming to PBC rival Francis Marion on both team's conference opener.
The Saints latest contest sent them to Anderson University where they cruised out to a 21-point halftime lead before holding off the Trojans 88-73.
North Georgia will break for the holidays before hosting Carson-Newman (4-7) on New Years Eve at 4:00 p.m. in their final non-conference match up.
The Saints are currently the third-ranked Peach Belt team in the poll as USC Aiken is ranked 2nd in the nation and Augusta fell out of the top five after their first loss of the season and come in at #10. Head Coach Chris Faulker's squad is searching for their first national ranking since entering the NCAA four seasons ago.

Same old-same old. Once this is approved, what makes anyone think that Waste Management will come back for more and more property.
Please note, this is still in the middle of a wetlands drainage area.
I think the company is actually calculating its needs with some precision. It is counting on new green technology reducing the waste flow, and thus its landfill need, as reflected in its 37-acre expansion proposal.

Are they still saying you can qualify for the Classic by shooting Regions??? And when did they "merge"?????
This was posted on AT by NYS REP:
Have received word that an additional class will be added for the Regions event in Warren PA. Semi-Pro Extreme-5 grains per pound no speed limit. $15.00 membership ASA/Regions entry fee, cash payout, no plaque and no qualification for the Classic with that set-up. Their you go, an organization trying to include all shooters and equipment. No reason not to support this event.

The higher the amps, and the greater the service factor, the better the motor is.
I've been shopping cross-referenced ¾ hp blower motors and noticed that they vary in full-load current between 8.9 amps and 11.3 amps. They all are labeled for 1075 rpm and require 15/370 run capacitors. Is the difference in amps significant? Thanks.
The higher the amps, and the greater the service factor, the better the motor is.
That's good news. I stumbled onto the highest amp motor – the Toptech TT-E75-3SP1(11.3 amp) which had been advertised as "GE." The TopTech packaging cross-referenced the following motors AO Smith DL1076(8.9 amp), Fasco D728(10.5 amp), Emerson 8904(9.1 amp), Marathon X009(10.3 amp), Mars 03589(10.3 amp). Thanks again.
Sorry, but the lower the amps and the higher the service factor makes a good motor.
The lower amps means a higher efficiency motor; more copper and better clearances internally. better or more run caps. Does the same work for less electric draw.
Take a 23 watt flourescent bulb VS a 100 watt resistance bulb as an example of getting more for less.
Take a look here, some only draw 8 amps. That is what you want.
Looks like all blower motors have a 1.0 service factor, so go for the lowest amp draw.
Last edited by ballvalve; 02-14-2011 at 10:45 AM.
Thanks for the update and link to Grainger. The 8 amp motor at Grainger is a 5-speed; my system specs a 3-speed. HVAC forums advised me that 5-speed motors will work, including more efficient and expensive ECM motors, but questioned the actual savings and the practicality of spending significant money on an 18-year old system. After some hours on the web, my gut feeling was that the risks of my screwing up the wiring or speeds and the costs of professional service and ECM motors weren't justified. I will order the lowest draw, 3-speed PSC motor as you advise. The current motor will be my emergency standby so I don't get caught again in a big snowstorm without a motor. Thanks again.

This report is the result of Canadean's extensive market research covering the Homewares in Mexico. It provides detailed historic and forecast sales data of the category along with market segmentation of Home & Garden Products. 1.2 Definitions All research is conducted in local currency in nominal prices. US dollar conversions for all historic data and for the latest year of actual data (2011 in this report) are made using an annual average exchange rate. As we do not forecast exchange rates, the forecast data (from 2012 to 2016) is converted using a fixed 2011 exchange rate. As a result, annual growth rates for historic data will differ between local currencies and US dollar conversions, whereas they will be the same for forecasts.

New Electronic Waste Law Now in Effect
MONTROSE – Effective immediately, Colorado residents can no longer discard electronic waste in their household trash, because it is a pollutant, and the City of Montrose is urging residents to take advantage of local resources and business to help with e-waste recycling.
The "Electronic Recycling Jobs Act," or Senate Bill 133, prohibits the disposal of residentially generated waste of electronic devices or e-waste by Colorado residents.
Waste electronic devices include television sets, central processing units (CPUs), computer monitors, peripherals, printers, fax machines, laptops, notebooks, ultra-books, net-books, electronic tablets, DVD players, VCRs, radios, stereos, video game consoles and video display devices with screens greater than four inches diagonally.
Electronic devices contain lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury and other toxic materials. When discarded in the landfill, toxic substances from these devices can leach into the soil and groundwater.
The following businesses provide convenient, local e-waste recycling services: Recla Metals, located at 136 S. Maple Ave. or at 970/249-7922. Note: Comupter monitors TVs not accepted. Habitat for Humanity ReStore located at 1601 N. Townsend Ave. or at 970/252-9304 Note: Fee charged for computer monitors, TVs and large printers and copiers. The Montrose County Landfill located at 67999 Landfill Rd. or at 970/249-8078. Note: $0.45 fee per pound. Office Depot located at 2201 S. Townsend Ave. or at 970/240-3859. Note: Fee for shipping box. To find out more about local e-waste recycling options and how this new law affects you, please visit: www.cityofmontrose.org/ewaste.

Gallery: Inside Vestas' new digs
By Christina Williams
Sustainable Business Oregon editor
Vestas and Gerding Edlen teamed up on the Meier & Frank renovation. Vestas leases 133,258 square feet of workspace from Gerding, the building's owner, which occupies a diminutive 8,000 square-foot office on the first floor.
When Vestas-American Wind Technology Inc. announced they would keep their headquarters in Portland and team with Gerding Edlen to renovate the Meier & Frank warehouse, its stock was trading at around $41 per share and wind power was still on the upswing.
Fast forward to May 2012: Vestas' stock is changing hands for about $6.50 per share and the wind energy business is mired in a down cycle.
|Take a virtual tour of the new Vestas HQ >>
But despite business storm clouds, Vestas moved into its sparkling new $66 million headquarters building and Martha Wyrsch, president of the American division, showed off the custom-built space this week, expressing confidence in the company's long-term commitment to Portland.
"These may be challenging times," Wyrsch said. "But we have our headquarters here and we're in the states to stay."
About 400 employees moved in on April 30 and started taking advantage of all the building has to offer — throwing open the historic replica windows to let in the May sunshine (before it reverted to the liquid kind) and having tete-a-tete's in the building's many gathering spaces.
In addition to Vestas' North American headquarters, the historic 1927 building also houses the home office for Gerding Edlen — another company expressing confidence despite a cyclical industry.
"We've been hiring," said Mark Edlen, CEO of the real estate development firm known for green projects including Portland's Brewery Blocks. "But most of our work is outside Portland now."
The Vestas building — 1417 N.W. Everett St. — is designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification. Click on the gallery above to take a look inside.

I have recently returned to Pittsburgh after living in San Diego and New York City for the past 6 years. While there, I focused on teaching students song and monologue preparation for auditions, and growing my private voice and piano studio. While my passion (and my BFA) are in Musical Theatre, I love all genres of music, from classical to pop to Broadway. I will help you choose songs to work on that you LOVE, while giving you the right exercises and techniques to build a healthy foundation in singing.
*** Lesson Details ***
The most important thing in a lesson with me is to learn while having FUN! I am a very laid-back teacher who wants to focus on music making you smile. We will choose material and a pace of learning that will keep you excited to rehearse and return the following lesson improved!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Wurlitzer upright, Digital Piano, Large inventory of music and materials.
*** Specialties ***
*Teachers classified as a Student Favorite have taught a minimum of 25
lessons and have received the highest feedback rating from students.
Acting, Broadway Singing, English, Film Acting, History, Improv Acting, Music Performance, Music Theory, Opera Voice, Piano, Reading, Shakespearean Acting, Singing, Theater Acting
I am a full-time pedagogue/performer with eight years' experience teaching private lessons in voice, piano, and acting to a range of ages and levels of students. Although the majority of my students are young adults, I have worked successfully with children, teenagers, and adult students (twenties to senior citizens) of both genders; I tailor my approach specifically to the goals and interests of each student; no two people learn the same way.
I hold a Bachelor's of Music in vocal performance from West Virginia University (summa cum laude, WVU Outstanding Senior, Honors College J. and C. Nath Outstanding Senior, Rhodes and Marshall Scholarships candidate). I regularly perform as a soloist in opera, oratorio, concerts, and recitals and completed training through the Ezio Pinza Concil for American Singers of Opera in Italy, the American Singers' Opera Project of North Carolina, and the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria.
As a teacher, I completed a year-long vocal pedagogy course with Cynthia Bess which provided me with a thorough understanding of the anatomy and psychology of singing, as well as a systematic approach to the correction of vocal faults. In the spring of 2010, one of my students, a teen-aged boy, was selected to attend Eastman's summer program for high school students. Several of my students have performed leading roles in school, community, and university musical productions.
I hold a full voting membership in the National Association of Teachers of Singing, am a Licensed Kindermusik Educator, am employed as Director of Music Ministry for a fairly large church, and was recently awarded the National Pastoral Musician's organ certification. I was also a teaching artist at Propel East Charter School for Greensburg American Opera and directed the Old Economy Singers (a twenty-voice historical choir) for six years.
*** Lesson Details ***
I provide professional, knowledgeable, and individualized instruction in a supportive and encouraging environment. During the course of study with me, I expect voice students will improve vocal technique and sound quality, alleviate physical tension which may be interfering with phonation, expand their range, learn new repertoire, increase confidence, and grow as performing artists.
My vocal teaching method focuses on correct breathing and resonance; I also incorporate some activities from Barry Green's "Inner Game of Music" technique. Although my teaching is grounded in a scientific approach to the process of phonation, I also believe singing should be a fun experience for the student. We sing to communicate! I believe that a thorough technical foundation is necessary for free and healthy singing in any genre of music. I am willing to work with students in the vocal styles that interest them most; although my professional performance experience is in opera and musical theatre, I have also successfully worked with students whose interests included jazz, pop, rock, folk music, contemporary Christian music, and choral singing.
My piano pedagogical method matches each student with the right curriculum-- Alfred, Schaum, or Piano Adventures-- plus supplemental technical exercises such as scales, arpeggios, and Czerny and Hanon exercises. All students are exposed to theory through worksheets, games, and other applied activities. As soon as possible, I introduce "real" repertoire from master composers.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Grand piano, electronic piano, music library, photo copier for copies of repertoire, music stands, Sing and See software.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I provide copies of music and exercises. If I am teaching at a student's home, I expect him/her to provide a keyboard instrument.
*** Specialties ***
I believe that a strong technical foundation emphasizing correct breathing and placement will allow voice students to sing in a healthy manner in any style of music. My professional performance credentials are primarily in opera, but I also have musical theatre experience and have successfully worked with students whose interests include opera, musical theatre, jazz, pop, rock, gospel, Irish folk music, and choral singing. In piano lessons, I emphasize technique and musicianship through a balance of exercises, repertoire, and theory activities.
Flugelhorn, Music Performance, Piccolo, Trumpet
I love to teach and share my passion of music with everyone.
As the founder of C Street Brass, I have had the wonderful opportunity to not only play around the country and world but have had the chance to work with and educate students around the world as well.
Teaching and giving knowledge is truly one of the most rewarding things anyone can do, and I love it!
*** Travel Equipment ***
Student is to provide all instruments and will purchase method books.

On Thursday the 18th I attended a Water Wise seminar presented by Urban Agent Hayes Jackson and Jay Cummings of Green Way Sprinklers. The purpose of the session was to help us learn to conserve water in our landscape. Most of the suggestions are ones we know and should already be practicing: use irrigation wisely; use proper watering techniques; water thoroughly and less often; water early in the morning to avoid fungus and disease problems; watch the clock, and target the root zone of your plants (Suggestions courtesy of Hayes Jackson). These are pretty common sense ideas and don't need a lot of explanation. Hayes also talked about the growing trend by homeowners and businesses to harvest rainwater through the use of rain barrels or cisterns.
Needless to say, when trying to conserve water in the garden the best rule of thumb is to plant the right plant in the right place. Proper plant selection and placement helps you and your plant thrive.
When Jay spoke, he talked about the use cycle and soak method where the homeowner waters in three cycles 4 to 6 minutes a cycle (water, soak, water). This allows the water to soak in and there is less run off. Of course, this whole idea was foreign to me; my hand shot up immediately. I often run my sprinkler an hour and a half in one area so that the plants could get a really through soaking. However, in the spirit of adventure and to try out this theory I have programmed my irrigation clock to use the water, soak, water cycle to see if my yard continues to flourish while cutting my water usage considerably. I will keep you posted about the results of this unofficial experiment.
Most gardeners have tried to put the extended drought of 2007 and the watering bans of that year behind us. Although Alabama is considered to be a wet state overall, every year presents a time of extreme heat and little rain. All of us who love to garden (as well as those who do not garden) should remember that water is a precious commodity and to use it as wisely as we possibly can.
