Picture it: teenage Mary Shelley was on a vacation getaway, with her husband Percy and some of his rambunctious poet friends, like that rogue Lord Byron… and out of the group of legends, it's Shelley herself who arguably published the greatest work of all at the ridiculous age of 30: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, a book that has penetrated our human consciousness. In honor of Shelley's birthday this month, here's a list of 25 other writers who created heartbreakingly beautiful work before they could get a discount on a rental… Read More

Flavorwire's Guide to Indie Flicks to See in May
Tonight, a certain overworked web slinger will swing into something like 4000 screens across the country, kicking off the summer movie season in an appropriate fashion: with a big, dumb, terrible franchise movie that will gross more money than most of us can even imagine. But don't worry — contrary to what the ubiquitous marketing campaigns of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and a handful of others might indicate, there are other movies coming out this summer, and here are a few worth seeking out this month. … Read More
When Celebrities Sue Celebrities: A History
The news that Donald Trump is dropping — for now, anyway! — his monumentally stupid (even for him) lawsuit against Bill Maher may be good for the humorless blowhard and reality TV star, but it's disappointing for late-night comedy writers and celeb jurisprudence fans. C'mon, admit it: that would've been a fun trial, if for nothing else than Maher's testimony. At any rate, while we're waiting to see if Trump holds true on his threat to return to the matter at a later date, here's a look back at other instances of celebrities — real and C-list — who've taken each other to court. … Read More
Tournament of Books Organizers Pick the Winners of 12 Classic Literary Beefs
Today is the first day of The Morning News's epic annual Tournament of Books, an excellent and wordy alternative (or supplement) to March Madness for all us literary types. To celebrate, we asked the ToB's organizers — the venerable Rosecrans Baldwin, Kevin Guilfoile, John Warner, and Andrew Womack — to act as judges for a few imaginary literary match-ups. Because who doesn't want to imagine the results of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky throwing down? After the jump, find out who would win in a fight — Mailer or Vidal, Hemingway or Faulkner, Dorothy Parker or anybody, and more. Don't agree? Argue your literary hearts out in the comments, and then be sure to get in on the real-life highbrow smackdown here. … Read More

10 Literary Authors Who Have Written for TV
This week, were excited (and somewhat skeptical) about the news that Bret Easton Ellis, author of teenage-ennui classic Less Than Zero and bourgeois-ennui classic American Psycho, is working on writing a new drama series for the CW about monstrous high schoolers entitled Copeland High. Though television is often considered the junk food to the nourishing meal of literature, Ellis's project reminded us very fondly of the authors who have turned their literary chops to writing for television — whether for good or for ill. Click through to read our brief survey of novelists who have written for TV (and usually improved it in the process), and let us know if we've missed your favorite multi-faceted writer in the comments. … Read More
10 of the Funniest American Essayists of Our Time
Like many of you, this week we were saddened to hear of the death of phenomenal and darkly comic essayist David Rakoff, who had been battling cancer for many years. To celebrate his life and the great literature he left us with, we've put together a list of some of the funniest modern essayists, who like Rakoff, are following in the giant footsteps of Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker and James Thurber as America's great humorists. We've tried to limit ourselves to purely contemporary writers, but since we've lost several hilarious and essential voices all too recently, we've cheated just a bit. Read through our list after the jump, and since these are only our personal preferences plucked from a very long list, be sure to add your own favorites in the comments. … Read More
20 Famous Bow Tie Lovers
We didn't think it was possible to like Bill Nye the Science Guy more than we already did. After watching a video featuring the educator and Nerdist's Chris Hardwick getting a lesson in the art of the bow tie, however, we can wholeheartedly profess our eternal love for all things Nye and necktie. The Disney/PBS children's show host — a frequent wearer of bow ties — advises Hardwick to "dress the knot, snuggify, pull it tightical, and pay attentiontivity to the bow tieical" in order to properly sport the iconic accessory.
The bow tie has a long history of living around the necks of individuals who weren't afraid to buck trends and make a statement. Donning a bow tie is a polite defiance by a dapper rebel. We've rounded up a list of famous, enthusiastic wearers below who deserve a round of applause. Chime in with your favorites below. … Read More
The Quotable Gore Vidal: 20 of His Best Zingers
Gore Vidal was one of the 20th century's most prolific writers. He was also a household name, thanks to very public feuds with the likes of Norman Mailer (who he compared to Charles Manson), Truman Capote (who he famously said "made lying an artform — a minor artform"), and William Buckley (who he referred to as a "crypto-Nazi"), as well as priceless appearances on TV shows like Da Ali G Show, The Simpsons and Family Guy. Vidal was a passionate man of letters armed with strong opinions (opinions, to be clear, that we didn't always agree with), as well as the ability to clearly put forth his ideas in countless essays that were both funny and illuminating. After the jump, we've rounded up some of the literary lion's wittiest quotes on topics ranging from sex and wealth to Andy Warhol's IQ and the Founding Fathers. Feel free to keep our list going in the comments! … Read More

"And the best stuff….Scatterbrain! I LOVE that effect. That is such a clever plot. People do multiple cards to multiple location plots all the time but seeing it done in a packet trick was just beautiful. If you like the sound of the Scatterbrain plot then buy this for that effect. If you are a packet trick lover who would like to see some clever thinking on the B-wave plot, then this is a worthy buy." - Erik Ostresh
Included in this new ebook are eight baffling "B'wave"-style effects, three of which are brand new, and five of which are previously published favorites. All of the effects are hard-hitting, yet relatively easy to do and use common gaffs (blank facers, blank backers, etc.). Some are actually completely impromptu and use just cards taken from a regular deck.
Effects included:
Scatterbrain: "B'wave" meets "King Thing"! A selected ace appears in a packet of jokers, and the other three aces "scatter" to various locations (the card case, etc.).
B'rainteaser: An ultra-commercial printing effect where a thought-of jack prints among a packet of blank cards, transposes, and multiplies. At the end it was revealed that the magician knew which jack would be selected all along.
Prism Wave: The spectator's selected ace is seen to be the only odd-backed card in a packet of blank cards. To demonstrate what would have happened had another ace been selected, another ace appears among the blank cards, but with a color changing finale no one will see coming!
Plus 5 more great effects: "Joker Wave", "Making Waves", "The Royal Wave", "Another Wave Pun", and "iWave".
Each effect is fully explained and features an HD-shot video demo so that you're able to learn each one in the easiest possible manner.
"I am sure John Gelasi's "Wave Epic" may kickstart your journey in exploring the wonderful possibilities of "Brainwave" effects. I quite enjoyed the effects in this collection and you may find some of his approaches in the above effects refreshing and usable. I look forward to performing some of the effects above for my next gathering events." - Andrew Loh

A young and upcoming French executive in a global technology company is sent to Moscow as deputy managing director to turn around the Russia subsidiary. He must report to the subsidiary's managing director (a large reason for the organization's underperformance) and to corporate. In his first three months, he took steps to prepare the organization for change.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The Los Angeles Angels have called up right-hander Mike Morin from Triple-A Salt Lake, hoping he can help shore up a shaky bullpen.
The team selected Morin's contract before Sunday night's game against the New York Yankees and optioned outfielder Brennan Boesch to Salt Lake. Boesch was 3 for 13 (.231) with a double.
The 22-year-old Morin, who had never pitched in the majors, saved three games for Double-A Arkansas this season and two more with Salt Lake after getting promoted April 16. He was the organization's minor league pitcher of the year last season.
To make room on the 40-man roster, Double-A lefty Michael Roth was designated for assignment.
Morin gives the Angels an eight-man bullpen, and manager Mike Scioscia says: "Right now I think we can use the extra arm."

Sample fine wine and food at HEARTH's annual fundraiser
Wednesday, September 24, 2014
An evening devoted to sampling wine and food from Pittsburgh's most beloved eateries will benefit HEARTH, a non-profit that provides safe and affordable housing for the area's homeless.
The Art of Wine & Food will feature treats from Bluebird Kitchen, The Capital Grille, Il Pizzaiolo, Mallorca, Jimmy Wan's, Willow and more from 6 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 2 at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh on the North Side.
This year, event organizers hope to raise $50,000. Last year's event raised $55,000.
As the organization's largest annual fundraiser, The Art of Food & Wine supports HEARTH's mission of helping local families to become independent and self-sufficient through support services and adequate housing.
"The event began in 2002 and was held at Manchester Craftsmen's Guild," says event committee member Vicki Gill. "It's developed into not only a fundraiser, but a 'friend' raiser bringing awareness of the programs HEARTH provides to people who love wine and food."
Kelli Burns Entertainment will DJ for the evening. Guests can purchase tickets for a chance to win prizes in the Chinese auction, including an autographed Neil Walker jersey, overnight stays at some of Pittsburgh's best hotels, a South African photo safari and golfing at Mystic Rock at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort.
Sponsors for the festivities include Jackie and Chuck Fusina, First National Bank, TriState Capital Bank, Guardian Storage, RAK Medical Inc./Globus Medical, Savinis, D'Amico and Kane LLC, Sitko Bruno and Trek Development Group.

LunaMetrics provides valuable SEO training to non-profits for second year
Wednesday, September 24, 2014
With the success of last year's free Search Engine Optimization training for non-profits and students, LunaMetrics has arranged to host the training again this year on Oct. 18 and 19 at its South Side offices.
According to Chris Vella, LunaMetrics search analyist and trainer for this year's session, many non-profits find that learning SEO skills on their own is out of reach.
"Non-profits have a lot to gain from learning SEO, especially in Pittsburgh where the non-profit sector thrives," Vella says. "Competition is a real threat to any organization, and employing SEO best practices helps an organization to get into fighting shape. SEO audits for organizations can cost upwards of $10,000, so this is truly a valuable opportunity."
The training will provide non-profits with the tools they need to improve their web presence. The training is available for seven to eight non-profits and about 20 students. A group of students will recommend website changes for each non-profit to make in order to improve its SEO.
"Having a strong presence on the Internet is vital to any organization's survival and that's becoming a more widely accepted notion these days," says Vella. "It's not always obvious, however, how to build that strong presence an organization desires. SEO, search engine optimization, is about building or growing your audience and making your organization easier to discover online."
Students benefit from the training by learning an employable skill, which Vella notes is increasingly important in today's fierce job market.
"Students will also have the opportunity to network with other students interested in professional development from the Pittsburgh area and local non-profits," says Vella. "We've also tried to involve organizations that could potentially offer the students internships following the training."
Vella himself is an example of how the training can help students find employment. He attended the training last year and began working for the digital consulting firm a short time later.
"The training brought so many opportunities to me, and I eventually ended up being hired at LunaMetrics as a search analyst," says Vella. "The tables have turned and I'm conducting the training this year. I hope to give this year's students a similar experience."

Wednesday, September 17, 2014

In honor of RAD's 20th anniversary, this year's RADical Days will run for 20 days from Sept. 24 through Nov. 9.

"RAD and the regional assets invite you to enjoy 20 RADical Days as a thank you to the public for its annual support of regional libraries, parks, sports facilities and arts and culture programming," says David Donahoe, RAD Executive Director.
Since its inception in 1994, RAD has funded nearly 150 regional assets through the one percent county sales tax paid by residents and visitors to Allegheny County. This tax has resulted in a major investment in the region and RAD-support assets, including libraries, parks, trails, sports and civic facilities, transit systems, arts organizations, and regional facilities like the zoo, conservatory, and aviary.
"With nearly $1.5 billion invested in Allegheny County since 1994, RAD sales tax dollars have sustained and improved our regional assets, which enhance our lives and communities in many ways," says Donahoe.
While there are more than 35 locations offering free admission or programs, admission will not be free every day at every location. A schedule of all RADical Days offerings is available
. RADical Days alerts are also available via text message by texting RAD to 79797.
Tossing 75,000 water balloons for Team Tassy
Wednesday, September 17, 2014
One local organization's efforts to battle global poverty made a splash in Oakland's Schenley Plaza earlier this month, leaving a larger-than-life water balloon fight in its wake.
Pittsburgh's Third Annual Great American Water Balloon Fight pitted more than 600 balloon-tossers against each other, divided among local celebrity team captains including Tall Cathy from 96.1 FM KISS, Sally Wiggin from WTAE-TV and Jonny Hartwell from 3WS radio station. More than 100 volunteers filled 75,000 water balloons for the event benefiting
Team Tassy
, which works to end global poverty.
Ian Rosenberger founded Team Tassy after traveling to Haiti to assist in relief efforts following the 2010 earthquake. While there, he befriended Tassy Fils-aime, a Haitian who needed surgery to remove a tumor from his face. Through fundraising, Rosenberger raised $100,000 to help pay for her surgery at Allegheny General Hospital.
After Tassy's surgery was funded, Rosenberger decided to continue his mission of helping Haitians and eliminating poverty and founded Team Tassy. The Great American Water Balloon Fight is now one of the organization's most popular fundraisers.
"The Great American Water Balloon Fight was created because of two beliefs, the first being that giving should be a joy, and the second is that if we can get everyone involved with the fight to end global poverty, we can make it happen within our lifetime," Rosenberger says.
Rosenberger said that Team Tassy's efforts expanded beyond Pittsburgh to Denver this year, adding that he hopes the organization will continue to expand their fight to end global poverty.
Squirrel Hill Community Food Pantry celebrates successful garden harvest
Wednesday, September 10, 2014
With the summer season coming to a close,
Squirrel Hill Community Food Pantry
(SHCFP) is enjoying the peak harvests of its Squirrel Hill volunteer garden before it winds down for the fall. The garden was launched in the spring through a collaboration with
Repair the World: Pittsburgh
and has helped provide food pantry clients with fresh produce options in addition to traditional pantry staples.
"Part of SHCFP's mission is to ensure our clients have access to fresh, nutritious healthy foods, and the new garden is a wonderful way of continuing and sustaining our efforts," says Matthew Bolton, director of SHCFP. "Even though individuals in our community may be food-insecure and rely on our services for help, we make sure they don't have to make nutritional sacrifices."
The volunteer garden, located on Murray Avenue broke ground in early spring and throughout the summer the garden has been providing SHCFP with fresh produce to distribute to the more than 1,700 clients utilizing the pantry. Vegetables reaped from the garden include green beans, beats, tomatoes and other seasonal vegetables.
Everything from general garden operations to coordinating volunteers for ongoing garden care and harvests was done by SHCFP and Repair the World: Pittsburgh, a local non-profit dedicated to organizing one-time and ongoing service opportunities around the issues of education, food access, senior services and refugee resettlement.
Many low-income families struggle to have access to general food stuffs and its especially difficult for these families to access healthy foods that typically run a higher cost. This is why SCHFP has had the ongoing mission of providing healthy options to its clients like fruits and vegetables in addition to the traditional pantry staples of non-perishable food items.
While the garden was established by SCHFP and Repair the World: Pittsburgh, its ongoing successful harvesting is all thanks to dedicated volunteers who donate their time to maintain the garden, take care of the plants and harvest ripened vegetables.
"The Squirrel Hill volunteer garden truly showcases the tremendous spirt of volunteerism in Pittsburgh," Bolten says. "Our overall goal is to ensure food security for everyone and we can only fully do so with the support of our entire community."

Ready Freddy welcomes 2014 kindergarteners to Pittsburgh Public Schools
Friday, September 05, 2014
On Thursday, Aug. 28,
Ready Freddy
, a program devised by the University of Pittsburgh's Office of Child Development, welcomed and encouraged incoming kindergarten students to Pittsburgh Public Schools for its sixth year.
The program launched in 2008 with a first-day-of-school event at one school. This year, Ready Freddy is at 14 Pittsburgh Public Schools and iterations of the program have been adopted in 20 different states. Expansion of the program in Pittsburgh has been thanks to the help of
United Way
Carnegie Library
Reading is Fundamental
A+ Schools
and the
Housing Authority
among others.
"Often times Universities are criticized for being overly theoretical without understanding the practicalities of what it takes to apply the work directly in the community," says says Ken Smyth-Leistico, assistant director at the University of Pittsburgh Office of Child Development. "This office takes great pride in understanding the challenges of what occurs by those doing direct practice and utilizing theory and best practices to fill those gaps. Ready Freddy was developed and led by staff here and it grew organically by blending the interest area of local foundations, the expertise of the Office of Child Development staff, need assessments of local schools and other avenues for input."
Ready Freddy is designed to increase awareness about the importance of kindergarten and to help ease the transition from the home to the classroom.
"Nearly half of all children struggle with the transition to kindergarten, according to national studies," says Smythe-Leistico.
"Late arrivals and poor initial attendance are considered significant predictors for school failure. The Ready Freddy Program targets those children most likely to be absent on the first day."
Months before students arrive for their first day of class and Ready Freddy's first-day-of-school festivities, the Ready Freddy team canvasses city neighborhoods, enrolls children in kindergarten, takes parents on virtual tours of the schools, and shares activity calendars as well as an interactive Web book with families.
"There are a host of reasons why children might be nervous for the first day so to ensure we have an impact with as many children as possible, several types of activities are offered during the months leading up to the first day, the first day itself, and even the months that come after," says Smyth-Leistico. "The first day itself has become a cause for celebration."
To ease nerves, school entrances are transformed into festive, celebratory spaces. Community members students may know are invited to stand next to teachers the students are meeting for the first time and hand the kids off. After the first day of school, Ready Freddy continues to work with families to keep the kids in the classroom.
"Naturally, the normal challenges of everyday life will lead to children beginning to miss school," Smyth-Leistico says. "The Ready Freddy Program promotes continued dialogue with families to help problem solve difficult circumstances to ensure missing school is not the result."

Partners join forces to build new playground in Whitehall
Wednesday, August 27, 2014
Various community stakeholders and more than 200 community volunteers are working together to build a new playground for children in Prospect Park in Whitehall on Sept. 9.
An old playground in the park will be replaced by a new playground with a design based on children's drawings created at a special design event in July. The new park will feature a variety of colorful playground equipment including climbing walls, swings and slides all in compliance with today's playground safety standards. The park flooring will also be covered with 51,000 square feet of safety surfacing floor tiles.
The project was started by
South Hills Interfaith Ministries
. Other stakeholders in the project include
Whitehall Borough
Economic Development South
Heinz Endowments
, Jefferson Regional Foundation and
, a national organization whose goal is to ensure all children get the balanced and active play they need to thrive. KaBOOM! made the equipment available at cost and will also provide playground building expertise for the construction. More than 200 volunteers from the community will also aid in the construction process.
"The old playground was outdated by today's standards. Its drab and gray and it has probably been 15 years since its been renovated," says Jim Guffey, Executive Director at South Hills Interfaith Ministries. "The wish of the community has always been to have a new playground."
The Whitehall playground is the 12th playground project in the Pittsburgh area that has received funding through an $800,000 grant from the Heinz Endowments. The playground was also funded by Jefferson Regional Foundation.
"Jefferson Regional Foundation coming in with additional funding means the Heinz grant will get to go even further and support other playground projects in Pittsburgh," says Guffey.
More than 1,000 community children will get to enjoy the playground, including refugee children living in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Whitehall who have little experience with carefree outdoor play. The refugees come mostly from Bhutan and Myanmar, but also include individuals and families from countries like Burundi, Sudan, Turkey, Bosnia, Vietnam, Morocco, Russia and Iraq.
"Resettlement in Whitehall started in the late 90s and we've been a very receptive community," says Guffey. "We have residents from more than 25 different countries, speaking more than 30 languages. I love to use the analogy that we have our own little united nations."
The kick-off ceremony for the construction project will start at 8:30AM and conclude with a ribbon-cutting ceremony 2:30PM.

Just Harvest wins national farmers market poster contest
Sunday, August 24, 2014
Just Harvest
won first place in the
Farmers Market Coalition's
first-ever nationwide farmers market poster contest, beating out more than 160 entries for a prize of $1,000.
Just Harvest will use the funds to support their mission of educating, empowering and mobilizing people to eliminate hunger, poverty and economic injustice in our communities by influencing public policy, engaging in advocacy, and connecting people to public benefits.
"We are also enormously gratified by the national recognition of our efforts—that we are seen as the best in the country in creatively promoting this type of program," says Emily Schmidlapp, Just Harvest's Fresh Access coordinator.
Just Harvest's poster for
Fresh Access
won in the Best EBT and/or Incentive Program poster category of the contest. The designer of the poster was Doug Dean, Art Director of
Fresh Access enables the use of food stamp/electronic benefits transfer (EBT), credit and debit cards with participating vendors at these markets. At the Just Harvest tent, shoppers swipe their card and receive tokens, which can be used as cash to purchase food.
Use of the program has grown rapidly. Last market season, total sales topped $42,000 that benefited local farmers and communities. As of June 30 this year, sales have quadrupled since the same time last year.
Since its inception, the Fresh Access Program has grown from being in two Citiparks farmers markets in 2013 to seven markets in 2014, as well as the Swissvale Farmers Market and the Market Square Farmers Market operated by Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership. Fresh Access will also be available at the Bloomfield Farmers Market and Lawrenceville Farmers Market before the close of summer.
"We are thrilled by the success of this program, but not surprised," Schmidlapp says. "The nearly one in four Pittsburghers who live in poverty are literally hungry for fresh food options. Half of all Pittsburgh residents live in neighborhoods that lack access to nutritious food. This program helps address that problem while putting money in the pockets of local farmers and contributing to healthy, vibrant communities. It's a win-win-win."
Anyone interested in posting one of the award-winning posters to help promote Fresh Access can contact Katie Mahoney at Just Harvest via
Sarah Heinz House summer camp gets a facelift
Wednesday, August 20, 2014
Overnight summer camp is the quintessential childhood experience and thanks to three area construction companies, the
Sarah Heinz House
summer camp just got that much better.
Major renovations were made to the camp this summer thanks to the donated supplies, building materials and professional know-how of three local construction companies and their suppliers—Massaro Construction Group, dck worldwide, LLC and Mascaro Construction Group, LP. Area companies Clista Electric, Renick Brothers, Modany/Falcone, Patrinos Painting, Red Rocks Group, and Gateway Engineers also donated labor, supplies and consulting services to the effort.
"Any time you have the opportunity to help a good cause, you forget about the competitive nature of business and work together," says John Sebastian, dck worldwide, LLC Executive Vice President. Sebastian helped spearhead the renovation efforts along with Demeshia Seals, Vice President of Massaro Construction Group, and Ron Cortes, Vice President of Building Operations at Mascaro Construction Company, LP.
Sarah Heinz House serves area youth ages 3 to 18 by providing safe, quality after school and summer programs for more than 3,000 adolescents each year through membership programs and community outreach activities. The resident summer camp serves more than 200 youth each summer.
The 70-year-old, 111-acre overnight camp on Slippery Rock Creek near Ellwood City provides an array of activities for youth including boating, swimming, crafts, nature hikes, archery, paintball and geocaching. Developing a sense of independence and life skills are also key components of the camp experience.
"The work to improve and update our camp facilities was extensive," says Jennifer Cairns, Executive Director at Sarah Heinz House. "These companies stepped up and pitched in to respond to our critical need for repairs and completed the project in time for kinds to enjoy another horizon expanding summer camp."
The renovations totaled more than $31,000 and included installing new shower and plumbing fixtures, updating electrical wiring, new kitchen appliances, painting, and a new roof and lighting over an existing deck built by a Sarah Heinz House member last summer as an Eagle Scout Project.
"This collaboration shows the true giving spirit of Pittsburgh's corporate community," adds Ms. Cairns. "The important contributions of all of these companies help to ensure that our summer camp will continue to be available and affordable for area youth for years to come."

Political candidates perform stand-up at annual fundraiser
Sunday, August 17, 2014
On Wednesday, Aug. 13, Allegheny County Department of Human Services (DHS) held its annual Candidates Comedy Night fundraiser at the Pittsburgh Improv in Homestead, Pa., and raised more than $40,00 to benefit the Music Festival Fund.
The Music Festival Fund creates a resource to provide youth with items and opportunities that are not available through traditional government funding.
"It has paid for things like camps, dance or karate lessons or even school books for kids going to college, " says Ondréa L. Burton, Manager, Events and Donations, DHS. "It is funded entirely through donations from two major events, the Allegheny County Music Festival, this year on August 31 and featuring Rusted Root, and the Candidates Comedy Night."
Each year, the event puts political candidates for races of local interest into the spotlight for an evening of fun as candidates perform a stand-up routine, sing, dance or play an instrument. Gene Collier, columnist with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and professional stand-up comedian emcees the event and keep the jokes flowing between acts.
"The topics and talent are all over the map," says Burton. "Some do comedy routines or just tell stories. Some sing songs or do skits. The candidates, for the most part, are very familiar to the audience, so sometimes it's nice to see an unexpected lighter side."
Political figures featured in last week's event included candidates for the U. S. House of Representatives Mike Doyle, Tim Murphy and Erin McClelland; incumbent Governor Tom Corbett; Senatorial candidates Mike Stack and Wayne D. Fontana; and candidate for governor Tom Wolf.
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and City of Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto also performed at the event.
Some highlights of the night included gubernational candidate Tom Wolf joking about how Pittsburgh has been welcoming to him, but he added that "unfortunately they think I'm Edgar Snydner."
Congressional candidate Erin McClelland (D) joked about being the only female candidate at the event and the only one "not suffering the long-term side effects of Viagara."
Congressman Tim Murphy (R) decided to go the musical route and played his guitar, singing a ballad he personally wrote about the EPA taking jobs away from coal miners through regulations on the industry.
Closing remarks and thanks came from DHS Executive Director, Marc Cherna, at the end of the night.

Non-profit helps veterans find much needed resources
Wednesday, August 13, 2014
The more than 97,000 veterans in Allegheny County now have a new tool to help them find necessary resources once they return home.
Checkpoint, a new organization created by Pittsburgher and Iraq War veteran Jared Souder, is a web platform that provides a database of veteran-friendly resources, as well as reviews and feedback by fellow veterans to help future veterans make informed decisions about the outlets they seek for services.
"The idea for Checkpoint really came out of my own frustration with the fragmentation of resources in the Veterans' space and the incredible effort required of veterans or military family members who were trying to find the right things," says Souder. "I spent four years working with homeless veterans as the head of a local agency and even as someone who worked in this field full-time and knew a lot about what was going in, I would still run into roadblocks and come up with a lot of unanswerable questions. I kept saying to myself that there's got to be a more effective way."
Checkpoint helps alleviate some of this frustration by bringing together the vast world of veteran services into one, easy to access platform that empowers veterans to have a voice in their own community. Checkpoint users can identify specific providers serving specific needs like career advancement, medical care, and more.
Although there are national databases that provide similar information, Souder says they lack a local presence and ultimately have little local visibility and support. Local agencies also compile their own lists of contacts, but these lists are only affective if the veteran is already connected with the agency. According to Souder, Checkpoint will help bridge the gap.
"We've got the touch and presence of a local agency because we're part of the local community, but we're using a lot of the same sorts of technology that you'll see with commercial information aggregators like Yelp! And Angie's List," says Souder.
So far, the response from the veterans' community has been appreciative.
"I think within the veteran community, there's been a recognition for a long time that this ahs been a problem, but nothing has really been able to fill the void effectively," says Souder. "When I go out and talk about what we're doing, I constantly have people coming up to me and telling me how they needed this and how excited they are to see it develop."
Although Souder is the founder of Checkpoint, he says the organization wouldn't have been possible without the support of The Heinz Endowments who provided him with the financial resources he needed to get Checkpoint moving, as well as connections and expertise.
"I can safely say that without them this would still be just an idea in my head," he says.
Souder says he's also received significant support from organizations like Steel City Vets, Team Red, White & Blue, and The Mission Continues.
While Checkpoint will start out as a very local resource, Souder has big plans for the organization.
"I absolutely think what we're doing has the potential to impact communities all over the United States, so in my heart I believe that we'll expand, but right now we're really just trying to fine tune our model and processes here in Pittsburgh so we can make sure we have the best, most positive impact in southwest Pennsylvania."
In these infant stages of the organization, financial support and awareness are vital to Checkpoint's success. To help on both of these fronts, the organization is hosting an event Oct. 3-5 called The Crucible. This event will be a three-day, 70-mile extreme hike through the Pennsylvania Laurel Highlands Trail.
"The event is designed to bring together a group of veterans and civilians and simulate perspectives, support and mirror some of the challenges and conditions veterans face on a daily basis," says Souder.

Vintage school bus turned fermentation lab rolls into town
Friday, August 08, 2014
Fermentation on Wheels will be rolling into Pittsburgh this month with a variety of free workshops to bridge communities and restore a genuine fascination and interest in local, traditionally preserved foods.
Fermentation on Wheels is a creative education and food-preservation project founded in Oregon by culinary artist Tara Whitsitt who converted a 1986 International Harvester school bus into a fermentation lab and workshop space in the summer of 2013. In October that year, she hit the road and has since made more than 100 stops in 23 states and traveled more than 7,000 miles in her bus.
While in Pittsburgh, Whitsitt will be incorporating regional produce that she acquires from local farms and farmer's markets into her fermentation workshops being held Aug.15 through Aug. 23.
"Each workshop presents something new and surprising as farms are growing different vegetable varieties," says Whitsitt. "The produce available at the farm or farmer's market I visit will determine what I bring to each workshop. Given that it's summer, I might ferment cucumbers or zucchini, but honestly it's going to be what inspires or excites me in the moment."
Whitsitt's first event will be at Chatham University where she'll hold a community potluck and culture share. on Aug. 15 from 4PM to 7PM
For the culture share, attendees are encouraged to bring starter cultures of their own for exchange and discussion as well as bring an empty jar to take a culture home. Cultures are a key component to the fermentation process and are used to help inhibit the growth of undesirable microorganisms and promote the growth of desired bacteria.
The potluck at Chatham will feature a fermented-food theme and a 30- to 45-minute talk about fermentation.
"The potluck is open to all who are interested in fermentation and my project," she says. "It's meant to bridge the community of fermenters—beginners and experts alike—so that they can teach and learn from one another. It's an exercise in community building and attendees are encouraged to bring all types of foods, fermented or non-fermented. "
An additional vegetable fermentation workshop for adults is in the works at Wigle Whiskey on Aug. 23.
Whitsitt will also be hosting educational workshops for children and youth while she's in town. She'll be participating in Children Museum of Pittsburgh's "Pickle Day" on Aug. 16 from 11AM to 3PM and will also hold a fermentation workshop for ages 10 and older at the museum on Aug. 20 from 5PM to 6:30PM.
"It's important to educate our youth about food since they will be managing and participating in our future food system," she says. "This system plays a huge role in our environmental impact, which will ultimately decide how long we can happily live here on Earth. It's so important that we learn to consume food and other resources more thoughtfully."
With all of her workshops, Whitsitt hopes participants walk away with a better understanding of our food system and the confidence to begin fermenting in their own home kitchens.
"I hope participants leave with a sense of being able to comfortably and fearlessly ferment in their own kitchens and that they'll think twice about the foods they consume," she says. "I also want participants to gain a new perspective on bacteria and its importance to our eco-system and how we tie into the greater world of living things. My project is a way to display a sustainable and simple lifestyle that encourages people to use energy more efficiently and intentionally."

Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse holds pay-what-you-can fundraiser
Wednesday, July 30, 2014
The Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse
(PCCR) is hosting a pay-what-you-wish fundraiser on Aug. 21, from 6PM to 9PM at the Wigle Barrelhouse and Whiskey Garden in the Northside.
The goal of all PCCR efforts is to reduce consumption and re-imagine waste as something to be harvested and repurposed to help the community. This is achieved through the sale of secondhand creative supplies at the PCCR store in the East End and through a variety of creative programming and workshops.
The organization relies heavily on the generosity of others and funds earned through sales and shop services at its retail store in order to survive and continue to serve the creative community. Recently, PCCR has found that interest in the organization's work is growing faster than their ability to grow staff and facilities.The Barrelhouse fundraiser will help support this growth and help PCCR develop a more sustainable operation.
"We are a resource center for creative people that needs our community to support us, not only by donating stuff and shopping, but also by contributing financially and by volunteering," says Erika Johnson, Executive Director for PCCR. "We need a little bit of 'venture capital' to help us grow from the scrappy labor of love we've always been to a larger, sustainable operation. One of our big fundraising priorities right now is to save up money to replace the 21-year-old van we rely on to travel to programs and collect materials."
Entry to the fundraiser will be a pay-what-you-can model that allows attendees to contribute what their finances allow. Johnson says this entry model was important because it allows all kinds of people to connect, create and support the PCCR.
"We care a lot about creating spaces where everyone feels welcome," says Johnson. "A pay-what-you-can fundraiser allows everyone to participate and contribute. The creative reuse community includes a lot of artists and teachers who want to support us, but might not be able to attend a traditional fundraiser."
The event will feature craft cocktails and food provided by Bar Marco, East End Food Co-op and Bistro to Go. Food trucks are also expected, including The Pop Stop and others. PCCR will also be organizing a non-traditional raffle of curious finds from the PCCR shop.
The Lone Pine String Band will be providing entertainment throughout the evening and the PCCR will have a build-your-own-party-hat station and a photo booth.
Guests who purchase their tickets online before Aug. 21, will receive a discount code from Uber to use for transportation to and from the event.

Save the Carrie Deer and preserve a piece of Pittsburgh's industrial past
Friday, July 25, 2014
Among the rusted ruins of the
Carrie Furnaces
stands a behemoth of a sculpture known as the Carrier Deer. Since 1997, this 40-foot tall deer head created from remnants of the former Blast Furnace Plant has played an artistic homage to the remarkable natural powers of reclamation that have taken hold of the site since its closure in the 1980s.
However, just as time and nature have slowly deteriorated the Carrie Furnace, time is slowly taking a toll on the Carrier Deer as well. To help preserve this Pittsburgh treasure,
The Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area
is holding an event called
Save the Carrie Deer
on Saturday, August 16. The event will feature an open air screening of
The Carrie Deer
documentary and serve as a kickoff to the campaign to restore the historic sculpture. This event will be the very first public screening of the film.
The documentary, created through a collaboration of Rivers of Steel and independent production company, Glyph, Inc., tells the story behind the sculpture including how seven core artists came together to create the Carrier Deer and the collaboration, process, and experimentation that took place to create such a giant sculpture. The Deer was created during the early years of a period where many artists were taking part in industrial salvage and guerilla site-specific artworks. The artists spent an entire year creating the Carrie Deer and in the process risked injury, fought nature, and eluded police to create this iconic piece of Pittsburgh.
The Rivers of Steel hopes to raise an initial $5,000 to get structural repair work started on the Deer and eventually a total of $20,000 to achieve a full restoration.
"The biggest threat to the Deer is time itself," says Ron Baraff, Director of Museum and Archives at Rivers of Steel. "It is exposed to the elements and made of materials that will ultimately breakdown over time if steps are not taken to support and restore elements of the sculpture."
Man has also been an ongoing threat to the sculpture including demolition activities and acts of vandalism that have plagued the area from 1998 to 2010. Since 2010, the Rivers of Steel has taken on the huge task of stabilizing the site structures and enhancing its security to prevent future vandalism.
The construction and location of the sculpture have also been an ongoing issue for preservation as the original team of artists that constructed the piece in the late 90s never imagined that the piece would still be standing today, 16 years later.
"They were building it in the moment and there were no guarantees that the site would be saved," says Baraff. "It was assumed by many, if not all, that the furnaces would be torn down just like everything else at the site."
The sculpture has no welded connections and was constructed on top of the roof of a pump building that has since collapsed. To reinforce the Deer for years to come, Baraff says a support ring needs to be created for the bottom of the Deer to support and distribute the weight of the piece and vertical supports must be added along with the shoring up and tacking of horizontal elements. After this is completed, they can reposition the sagging head of the Deer and return it to close to its original state. The pump building will also get a new roof and be repurposed into a gallery space.
"We have in the Carrie Furnaces, a prime opportunity to showcase the rich industrial legacy of the region as well as show the impact of post-industrialism on the region," says Baraff. "This is where the Deer really comes into play. It is the poster child of post-industrial rustbelt America and what happens to these sites when the work goes away. The Deer's presence on the site allows us to show what happens and to use these interactions to open new and exciting doors for visitors to the site. The exploration of the aesthetics of the site and the environmental impact of the site are all possible because this sculpture is there and acting as the gatekeeper."
Tickets for the Save the Carrie Deer VIP reception are $125 and include VIP seating for the screening, meet-and-greet opportunities with the artists and filmmakers, food and drink by Superior Motors and Dorothy 6, a silent auction, live music and a twilight tour of the Carrie Furnace site.
General admission tickets can also be purchased for $10 and include seating for the screening as well as street food vendors and live music.

85 Broads renames and rebrands to Ellevate
Wednesday, July 23, 2014
The Pittsburgh chapter of the global organization 85 Broads recently announced the organization's transition to a new name and branding. The entire organization is now called
and features a more modern look and additional tools and resources for its chapters across the globe.
Ellevate Pittsburgh
made the announcement at a recent networking event held at Savoy along with
Young Professional Women in Energy
to benefit
Special Spaces Pittsburgh Metro
"We decided to use the opportunity to share the news of what exactly changed with the organization with the crowd of members and nonmembers at the event," says Kristina Martin, Events Assistant for Ellevate Pittsburgh. "It was an educational opportunity. We brought fliers and promotional pieces and our president addressed the crowd and we answered guests questions."
Ellevate is an organization for women "trailblazers" who want to advance in their career and lives surrounded by likeminded women who can relate and help them reach their goals. The organization was designed to provide women a global network of backing and ensure that women realize they can succeed professionally. Ellevate has more than 40 regional chapters and campus clubs in 130 countries.
"Ellevate uses the term 'women trailblazers' to describe females who are driven and dedicated," says Martin. "These women want to make leaps and bounds and land on top in their respective fields. They want to propel forward, so they devise a plan for how they're going to do just that."
Membership includes women of all ages and in all professional stages.
"Membership is across the board," says Martin. "We attract everyone from high school and college students to senior level professionals. You'll find there's an energy you can't fake here and the women you meet genuinely wish to share advice, help make connections and lend a hand."
Beyond the new name, the new Ellevate also features new membership levels, an updated website, new promotional materials and updated methods and capabilities for communication to aid local chapters in better informing the public about Ellevate and what the organization can do for its members.
"The organization has tweaked its membership levels and added a new category called 'entrepreneur' to keep up with the times and cater to the ladies of 2014," says Martin. "The updated look of the website and the ability to feature local members on the website are also bonuses."
For 2014-15, Ellevate Pittsburgh is hoping to hit the ground running with its new branding and introduce some new programming including skill share sessions, a second story slam, a daylong unconference, and one-on-one sessions with experts in various fields.
"More than that though, we truly want to bring together women in the name of fun and empowerment, and I mean that," says Martin.

Comic-Con: The Vampire Diaries Season 5 Trailer "Sizzle Reel"
As part of the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con, The Vampire Diaries realeased a "Season 5 Trailer" in preparation for season 5, which starts Thursday, October 10th, 2013.
This "Sizzle Reel" video is 5 minutes short and uses scenes to summarize the last four years of The Vampire Diaries and propel us forward to the beginning of season 5. The first half starts with Elena writing in her diary. Then it shows scenes of their relationship as it progressed through season 4 to the scene where Stefan tells Elena that he can't do it anymore.
Then it switches to Damon and Elena, starting with Damon introducing himself to her, rescuing her after the car crash, and from the sunlight on the bridge, telling her he's not the good guy, that he takes and does what he wants. Then the sire bond, and finally the scene where Elena chooses Damon over Stefan. Then Elena says, "I just have a feeling that something bad is about to happen."
With that we transition to the 3rd part of the video, where we see a summary about Silas, and then the "doppelganger" and the revelation that Stefan is Silas' "shadow self," after which Stefan is staked, locked in the safe, and dumped in the water. And with that we jump forward, past summer, to Fall.
Silas, as Stefan, tells a crowd that over the summer he's consumed an immeasurable amount of blood, and has gotten stronger every day. Then he started wondering what the limits of his power were, and how many people could he influence. A whole town square? Then there's a scream. Is it Bonnie?
The Vampire Diaries Comic-Con Season 5 Trailer
The exciting season 5 of The Vampire Diaries begins on Thursday, October 10th, 2013, at 8/7c on The CW.

November 12 - December 31
The importance of railroads during the Civil War was significant. Railroads were used in carrying supplies of coal and artillery, horses, mules and cattle and troops and baggage. Rail conditions certainly were poor. Wooden water towers were easy targets for destruction by raiding troops. Water and coal were essential for the steam locomotives. Bridges needed to be built and defended. General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's capture of 56 locomotives and more than 300 railcars along the B&O Railroad between Harpers Ferry, W.Va and Martinsburg, W.Va., with the blowing up of the railroad bridge at Harpers Ferry, was an attempt to stop B&O strategic traffic. Open Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00am - 4:00pm. Open Sunday 2:00pm - 5:00pm (February through April). Closed: Mondays, Sundays (May through January).

Reviews about Lonestar albums
Lonely Grill - from Lonely Girl | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the album Lonely Grill performed by Lonestar
I was living up in the N.Cascades when this album came out. I ordered not hearing one song. When I returned to the city life. I kept hearing hit after hit and I knew all the lyrics! You will enjoy each cut from this awesome album.
Stolen song - Mountains Lonestar | Reviewer: Wendy
------ About the album Mountains performed by Lonestar
I work for Cindy Black who wrote "3 Second Ride" and when I heard "Mountains" I have to think whoever wrote it stole Cindy's song basically. It's sad artists can't come up with orginal ideas. They have to step on the independent artists to pad their pockets.

UPDATE 8/13/12 @ 10:50 p.m.
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A tentative agreement has been reached between union workers and Special Metals.
Union members told WSAZ.com that a contract proposal submitted by the company last week was ratified Monday. About 700 workers are expected to stay on the job.
Employees had been working under an extension of a previous contract that expired at midnight Friday, Aug. 10.
Sources tell WSAZ.com that members of the United SteelWorkers have come to a tentative agreement on a contract with Special Metals. That agreement could keep the 700 workers at the plant on the job.
So far, details have not been released about the agreement. However, union members have been meeting all day at the union headquarters. Sources say the workers are reviewing the contract before having a final vote in the near future.
Special Metals spokesperson, Dwight Weber tells WSAZ.com that both sides agreed to extend the current contract. Weber says the extension is opened ended.
He says the company plans to continue to "bargain in good faith." Weber had no other comment on the talks.

Sgt. Joe Darby
Updated: July 24, 2011 2:24AM
When, during the Bush administration, our nation went off course, torturing prisoners in the name of the war on terror, any number of principled soldiers and public servants refused to go along.
They would not waterboard.
They would not condone any euphemistically labeled "enhanced interrogation techniques."
They would not seek convictions based on evidence obtained by torture.
At great risk to their careers, they chose instead to stay true to our nation's fundamental ideals.
Now a coalition of civil liberties groups, led by the ACLU and the PEN American Center, have made an excellent proposal:
President Barack Obama should single out for high honors those high-minded men and women who said no.
"It is especially crucial now because some have used your administration's success in locating Osama bin Laden to reopen the debate about torture and to propose that the United States should once again adopt torture as a method of gathering intelligence," the ACLU, PEN and eight other groups wrote in a June 16 letter to the president. "Formally commending those who rejected torture would send a necessary message that torture is — and will always be — inconsistent with who we are as a nation."
Not long ago, Paul McCartney was honored at the White House for his contributions to American music. That made for a pretty good rock show on public television. Imagine how much better a show it would be were the president to honor:
◆ Lt. Col. V. Stuart Couch, a Marine pilot, prosecutor and evangelical Christian who refused to seek a conviction based on statements obtained through torture. Such abuse, he said, violated basic religious precepts of the dignity of every human being.
◆ Sgt. Joe Darby, the former Army reservist who blew the whistle on the inhumane treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. When he discovered photos of members of his company torturing prisoners, Darby burned them onto a CD and delivered it with an anonymous letter to the Army's Criminal Investigation Command.
◆ Former CIA Inspector General John Helgerson, who documented abuses that had taken place in CIA prisons, questioned the legality of the policies that had led to the abuse and called some of the agency's actions "inhumane."
In 2004, President George W. Bush awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George J. Tenet, the former CIA director who had signed off on the use of torture.
That sent Americans one message.
Obama should award the same medal to men and women of the caliber of Couch, Darby and Helgerson, who refused to sign off on anything that did not abide by our nation's bedrock ideals.
That would send a different message.
