Peep has the dubious draw of being the only show on the Fringe where the audience can spy on the actors entirely unseen by them.
Having filed into the private darkened booths of a large, black, PVC-covered box in the Pleasance Courtyard, ticket-holders put on a pair of headphones, draw up a stool and settle in to watch as a sex drama unfolds in a poky bedroom on the other side of their window.
The peep shows on offer are in fact three 20-minute playlets tackling peccadilloes (69), pornography (Meat) and postpartum angst (SexLife), written by rising stars of the Royal Court Young Writers' Programme (Kefi Chadwick and Leo Butler) and the Traverse (Pamela Carter).
The three plays can be watched individually, but taken as a trio they create a fertile, heady blend of ideas, which flip notions of gender, power games and voyeurism on their head. How does having children affect the workings of a relationship? Can a porn film stand up to deconstruction from the female point of view?
Too often, though, the cast feel like mouthpieces posing these questions rather than flesh-and-blood humans. Still, if the idea is to make audiences feel a little seedy, the better to make them ponder the ins and outs of sexual politics, then it offers some satisfaction.

Poem by: Pratibha
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Look at me!!
I may never appreciate the value of pain again...
I may never 'respect' food again...
Let me get cheated, let me lose a game; let me find my own way out...
So, smile now, MAMA...
This little bird will always come back to you MAMA...always...
...to share his adventure, to take rest and get ready for next adventure...
all right MAMA? All right ?
Iwill grow up but won't be that big that I would not 'need' you...
My leaving you forever would be surely be ....
A swirling array of what can never be..
footnote : please let me know if the yellow highlighted lines 'fit'? I think they do...but i may be wrong.....

Aw, everything in this is so true! What was you worried about, it's great! I think it's important for children to experience every emotion, god or bad, for emotional stability relies on experience. That goes for falling or crying, if they don't learn how to deal with being sad or in pain, they will be less likely to handle it later on. I think you've made some good points, but most of all the last one, children love their parents, and feed off of them. They learn from them and it's important the parent isn't anxious or that reflects on them. I know you know all this already, being into psychology. It is really interesting. I loved the poem, you always get my brain going and that can sometimes be a challenge on the best of days! :) ~ Nixie
Yes Nic, u r so right. I know i should not be anxious...but i just cannot help it and end up 'nagging' ( which i hate)....I hope i see some sense soon or i will lose kriish. No child loves a nagging mom....even i hated when my mom nagged...
everyone needs space even little ones....
i wish i accept this quickly....Thanks Buddy, ur comment was vey insightful and made me think...
Great poem, I love the way you reflect you and your childs emotions, you've made many very true points and reflections on the way children grow up, hope I interpreted that right, once again, great poem & keep up the good work!
This is just soooooooooooo sweet!
I mean that's EXACTLY what mom's all around the world feel.........and let me assure you i was the naughtiest child in our whole area when i was 4!!!!!
and now i feel so bad for annoying my mom sooooooo much!!!!!!
I am sure u were the cutest and naughtiest and believe me ur MOM misses those days of urs....believe me....
every MOTHER wishes her child should never grow up....and always stay little and cute and naughty and stay with her always....
whenever i think , one day kriish would grow up, tears start rolling and kriish says,' don't worry Mama, i won't go away. I am not big enough ever.' That makes me cry even more....
This is a really sweet piece....don't get why you are worried. I love your pieces. They are pieces for all ages to enjoy, and thats great.
I loved it...big time!
Another uplifting and enjoyable write from you!! Don't worry so much about what others think... not everything you write will appeal to everyone who reads it but overall as writers, we hope to capture a varied audience. Things do look and feel different through the eyes and mind of a child, don't they?!! Well done!
Happy writing and reading.....Jerry (^_^)
oh my gosh, this was sooo adorable! it really explored a young child's mind, and so well at that! You have nothing to improve, trust me, I LOVED it and others will too!
ohhhhh, it was Adorable!
I so loved the line about 'your anxious soul breaking my cocoon' oh, the truth that is in that statement.
so many mothers smother thier young and in doing so keeps them from inner growth. Pratibha, I thought there were great messages in here, and it was adorably written through the childs perspective. ^_^
it's all so touching and so wild!!
You took on the challenge well, Pratibha!!
I'm glad i took the time to read it!!
Awww, that was so sweet. Your son is very lucky to have a mother like you. It must be extremely hard for a mother never to be 'anxious' about their child growing, learning and beginning to do things on their own. I can totally relate to this from a child's point of view; sometimes a child needs to learn from their own mistakes instead of their mother wrapping them up in cotton wool all the time, as the child will always take everything for granted, including their mother.
Keep up the great work Pratibha!
By the way, I really love the layout of the poem! It's childish...but in a good way as this is written so that the persona is a child.
Keep up the great work!!!!!
Aww this is so sweet. And there's NOTHING wrong with the way you write, you shouldn't have a thing to worry about. You're very talented.
aww that was so sweet... i liked how it was in the point of view of a child.. it was magnificent and very touching!! i loved it =)
I don't think you have a thing to worry about. This was a great poem in your own wonderful style! I worry every single time I post a poem. There are some really fabulous poets on this site and their thought process is so deep that it can be a little intimidating. You and I though, we go for simple and heartfelt and it works for us! So, no worries. Your poem was great! Also, very true and it works as a good reminder to relax!
I enjoy your style. Don't worry about others. Poetry is often personal and style is something you develop over time and what feels "right" to you. I love the idea of your poem. The push and pull of being a parent, a mother most of all. The anxiety of knowing what "could" happen and the wisdom of knowing some things must happen for your little bird to fly. The hurt, the pain, the trying new things they may not like. All of it rolled into one knot that's tethered to your soul. For you feel what he feels and wish you could take away all the unpleasantries. Relax Mama bird. Let your little one fly just a little farther each day...give him just enough slack to explore, so that when he is finally grown he'll know how to fly into his own life...and he'll want to carry pieces of your heart with him.
Lol. That is the psychology of a child. Sometimes they need discipline, to be able to truly 'grow up'. I enjoyed this poem very much. You did an excellent job capturing the moods on both sides with the child feeling mischievous and the mother anxious.
Don't feel this poem was childish, on the contrary, it is a very mature piece. It's not that little love poem we all write once in a while, nor the 'feeling blue' poem we all write either. It's a poem that shows emotions we can ALL relate to. Even though we have not all been that mother, we've all been that child. And trust me, I definetely was THAT child. Lol The most important part is that YOUR poem also has meaning, far beyond that of emotion. It has a moral, and that comes with a very valuable lesson.
I loved this poem and I'm going to click the little blue " I liked it" button.
DEAR ANGELA, I don't know how to express how light i am feeling now....ur comment made me climb cloud 9.....WOW...what a feeling....
hmmmm....so u were a naughty child ??
Okay okay !!
That must be so cute...i wish i see u ....can u share some of the naughty things u have done in ur life in the form of poem or short stories....I assure u, they would be read widely....and appreciated as well...
actually i was feeling so apprehensive regd my unconventional style esp after reading such wonderful writings in booksie....lol...and that too such matured writings from youngsters ....I was amazed....honestly....
You have a good rough sketch which could be expanded and refined into a short story or condensed into a poem. More specificity is needed whatever option you chose.
Oh, this is beautiful! It sounds like a lullaby from a child to his MOm. So soothing and comforting. ^^ BTW, belated happy birthday to your son. ^^ Godbless! ^^
Wow, What a beautiful poem. I love this....you have nothing to worry about concering your stories, poems you are very talented. What a lovely picture. Like watching your children grow-up, letting go, hoping for the best, but yet, in the process how hard it is to watch them making mistakes perhaps you warned them about. But being able to sit back, hold your breath, and letting them learn from their own mistakes, or rejoicing with them, when they make great decisions. Finding their own paths in life.......Teaching, and guiding.
Your a beautiful writer with so much heart that's overflowing with warmth Pratibha!! I love it!
Dear Pratibha
Lovely piece of work.Very true but to worry is human nature not knowing what is going to happen.Letting go is very difficult but has to happen at some point,
Very spontaneous ,keep them coming
Awww Pratibha! This poem is not childish at all, I think it's fantastic! Very beautiful and true! It's lovely to see a poem from a different point of view, and percpective, we all want to protect our kids and we forget they need to grow up some day and need a little freedom. Congrats to your son for turning 4! And thank you for sharing this very lovely poem, it made me smile :D
Thanks Buddy. As a child I was never allowed to 'venture' on my own and that made me so weak. It took me long long time to gain the confidence to do something alone and in the process made some 'terrible' mistakes. That made me think and appreciate the 'space' which should be given to a kid to 'start' thinking when he is young.

Langer is an Aussie
He wears the gold and green
He is the biggest whinger

He wasn't very happy
When we called Brett Lee's no ball
He's got a very big mouth
And he's only five feet tall

You bowl us everything we ever dreamed of,

The wheels of your team are slowly falling off,

You always bowl a ball that goes for 4,
And all the time,
Ponting asks himself why, are you really here?
Why are you really here?
Why are you really here?
Why are you really here?
And one for Ian Bell that Gaz says may need a bit of work
Call out the Sherminator,
There's some swing in the air,
He's gonna get a ton sooner or later,
If you keep on bowling there,
Bell is dy-na-mite!

Welcome to the CCAF!
The Center for Couples and Adult Families (CCAF) is the primary home of family oriented work within the Department of Psychiatry at The University of Pennsylvania.
At CCAF, we recognize the importance of family relationships over the course of the life cycle. Family members can affect each other in profound ways. These primary relationships can be a source of intense conflict as well as deep healing.
Families come in many different forms -- single parent, two parents of any gender, remarried families, families of three and four generations, and families of choice. At CCAF, we welcome all families who see themselves as a connected group of people.
Few problems are solely individual or relational; the individual and the family affect each other, and together they compose the family system. We see the family system as embedded in the larger contexts of extended family and culture.
Friendships and work relationships are also vital to an individual's emotional health. We recognize the importance of the wide web of relational experiences that impact well-being.
At CCAF, we treat individuals, couples, groups and families from this relational perspective. In addition, we offer an online library of community resources, books and vital links to services for professionals and family members.
When psychiatric illness strikes, couple or family therapy can often promote recovery and decrease family stress. We recognize the value of family education, and utilize the cutting-edge resources within the Department of Psychiatry at Penn to provide all aspects of care for families impacted by psychiatric illness.
Families can, and should be, one of our greatest sources of strength and comfort.

World's Greatest Thief Part 1Mature
It was dark, so dark nothing could be seen except the dew glistening off the brick walls under the dimmed light of the new moon. I waited patiently in the alley, crouched behind the bin. I had learned many things training in martial arts, but being able to crouch for a whole day was by far the most useful. I waited patiently as the moon moved behind the long wispy cloud and all was cast into a haze of black.
The couple were talking quietly to themselves. The guy pulled the girl into the alleyway. I could just about make out their shapes. He kissed her and she giggled as she fell backwards into the wall.
"Ow, not so rough," but his kiss got more passionate. All to soon his belt was unbuckled as he tried to take off her top.
"Jimmy no, not here..."
So Jimmy was his name of choice now.
"Oh darling, you don't get a say. When I want you, I have you."
"Go $&!* yourself, get off me now!"
He clamped his hand over her mouth and slammed her head against the wall. No doubt she was too dazed to put up any fight.
The buckle was already loosed and so to was the kunai on its chain, sailing through the air like a veteran in a storm. It pierced his leg. With one yank he tripped up and was quickly sliding towards me. Meanwhile the girl slumped on the ground. She barely had time to register what was happening before unconsciousness took her.
Jimmys yelps were loud as his leg bled profusely, the torn flesh and shattered bone looked truly vile.
I stomped my foot on his mouth, hopefully that would shut him up for a second.
"Hey Jimmy, you've been quiet recently." I moved my foot.
"I, don't know what you mean," I yanked the kunai from his leg. His scream was terrible but cut off by my shoe again. His eyes bulged and his pupils slid into his sockets.
"You know I want the key. Give it to me with minimal--" As I removed my foot he interrupted.
"You think I carry it around with me?" His voice was weak, no doubt he was sweating, probably crying a little too.
"Yes, you darn't leave it at home, knowing I could get to it," I bent low over him, looking him square in the eyes. He recoiled slightly, fighting to maintain consciousness.
"I--" his mind seemed to sway, I punched him in the nose to keep him awake, blood splattering on my glove, "argh.. its hidden.. away.. church.. gone," this time he was gone, no amount of rough handling would wake him up, his body was probably in shock.
I turned, leapt up onto a narrow windowsill, barely swaying. Fumbling for the next handhold, I made quick progress onto the roof. Once I caught my breath I looked over the cityscape. In the distance, the church stood. It was only faintly lit up, revealing the ugly gashes and warn stone. It was a truly horrific little place. Nothing holy about it. Though it was a "last bastion of goodness" even the priests were corrupt.
The gap between this building and the next was vast but there was a stone ornament jutting out from it. I let myself fall and shot out the kunai. It slipped over the rock, reached it's limit and fell, swirling around the ornament and catching between the links. I felt the painful jerk on my arm as my trajectory was changed. I swung down, then up until the momentum was lost and I fell harshly on the ornament. It was never quite as easy as it looked in the comic books.
The next buildings were connected. I leapt over the wall and onto the slanted roof. With only a little difficulty, I ran across the slate until the end, allowing myself to slip down. Before I could fall off, my hands caught the gutter. It was cold to the touch but my gloves protected me. I slid down and vaulted over the garden wall. It was an empty street I landed into. Or so it seemed.
Police officers were commonplace now, especially after dark, which made my job much more difficult. And yet they only added to the pumping adrenaline that was coursing through me right now. I savoured the spark that ran through me, kept me on my toes. A low mumbling voice could be heard coming round the corner. I flattened myself against the porch of the house and waited. My heart pulsed like the beat of a club. The shadow from the flickering lightbulb was my strobe light, and slowly the shadow came closer and closer. I curled my fingers in anticipation. Behind my mask a small smile played.
How I loved this game.

The Thousand Colors of the Blood Red Sky
The tea in my mouth is swirling around the blood
I've bitten my lip and I've crunched my teeth upon a steel cable
and now my tongue is on fire.
If I could see inside, there would be so much red,
from the black cherry tea, from the pain, from the anger.
I swallow it all.
I look into the cup and see myself.

Chick Hernandez's interview with Dan Snyder already made news, when Comcast SportsNet released a clip in which Snyder talks about his plans for a new stadium.
But here's even more shocking news, also via Hernandez: Dan Snyder does not do e-mail.
Hernandez broke that little nugget during an appearance with the Junkies to promote his full Snyder interview, a 30-minute special that will debut Sept. 1 at 6:30. Snyder was talking about how Snyder still considers himself friends with ex-employees like Mike Shanahan, Marty Schottenheimer and Steve Spurrier, all of whom departed Ashburn under a cloud of public scrutiny.
"I think that the owner of the team isn't always aware of everything," Hernandez said Thursday morning. "We might assume it, but he's not aware of everything that goes on. He doesn't do social network stuff. He doesn't have e-mail. So you're talking about a guy who doesn't see all of that."
"How can he not have e-mail?" Eric Bickel interjected. "That's impossible to believe."
And indeed, it kind of is.
"No e-mail," Hernandez said again. "He's Howard Hughes, dude. He's one of those guys."
This still seemed too absurd to believe (sorry Chick), but a team spokesman confirmed to me that Snyder does not, in fact, have e-mail.
(You'll recall that just last summer, Shanahan said that he, too, does not do e-mail.)
(Not all owners in town are opposed to sending e-mails. Area writers who cover professional hockey or basketball might be able to confirm that for you.)
In any case, the rest of Hernandez's chat with Snyder — which was taped Wednesday at Redskins Park — covers topics including his thoughts on the team name, his maturation as an owner, and the tenures of Joe Gibbs and Shanahan. There will be an encore showing Sept. 1 at 9:30, with additional clips available online.

Here we pick out just a few of the articles which we have found particularly useful in analysing the protest movement in Turkey.
In the Guardian Richard Seymour provided some context to the roots of the revolt:
The AKP represents a peculiar type of conservative populism. Its bedrock, enriched immensely in the last decade, is the conservative Muslim bourgeoisie that first emerged as a result of Turgut Özal's economic policies in the 1980s. But, while denying it is a religious party, it has used the politics of piety to gain a popular base and to strengthen the urban rightwing.
In Ahram online an interview with Turkish activist Ozan Tekn is useful in understanding the specific dynamics of the protests:
A few dozen activists rushed into Gezi Park when the bulldozers arrived on Tuesday night last week to start cutting trees. The bulldozers retreated later that day and a few thousand people occupied the park. The police started attacking the park in the early hours of the morning to let the bulldozers in again. On third day, this sparked an explosion of protest, and tens of thousands joined the struggle in Taksim Square to keep the park safe and protest against police violence.
On Jadaliyya, Evren Savcı provides a good analysis on the Turkish variant of neoliberal authoritarianism:
Just a month ago, on 1 May, when citizens attempted to march to Taksim Square for Worker's Day, they were met with police firing tear gas canisters in abundance. But we did not need this spectacle to know that the government's commitment to its people safety and wellbeing was less than stellar. According to one report an average four workers lose their life daily in work-related accidents in Turkey. The same day, a number of people, including teenagers, were severely injured and hospitalized, with two suffering hemorrhages from the blows they received in the back of their head, and one losing an eye.
This theme is developed by Cemal Burak Tansel on Adam Morton's blog:
Emerging triumphant one more time at the 2011 elections, AKP neoliberalism took a more ferocious and disciplinarian form. The increasing authoritarianism of the government has manifested in the record number of arrests made against students, activists and lawyers in the last decade.
Last but not least, UK activist and writer Mark Bergfeld offers some thoughts on the strategic questions facing the movement:
From now on, different classes will articulate their political strategies through – or, in relation to – the movement. Only if the radical and anticapitalist left acts through the movement can it turn the mass movement from an arena of class struggle into a tool of class struggle. In order to do so, it has to develop and formulate a strategy and alliances based on building a counter-hegemonic alternative fit to lead Turkish society as a whole. The Peace Square in Taksim today is a starting point.
The Dawn of the Arab Uprisings
End of an Old Order?
Edited by Bassam Haddad, Rosie Bsheer and Ziad Abu-Rish. Foreword by Roger Owen
Leading Middle East analysts consider the causes and consequences of the Arab Spring.
"Jadaliyya has established itself as an indispensable source dealing with the contemporary Arab world. This collection of its pieces on the Arab uprisings is perhaps the best introduction to the political movements that have shaken that region since January 2011. It represents a set of intelligent commentaries on revolutionary events in almost every Arab country, and their repercussions in the area generally and beyond. Essential reading." – Talal Asad
"The outburst of the Arab Revolutions demands imaginative and novel perspectives on the Arab world, and Jadaliyya has managed to provide a unique forum covering the region with a fresh approach to its issues and problems. Its talented contributors, from the Arab world and beyond, combine objectivity with a progressive, humanistic engagement, and never shy away from sometimes explosive topics. Necessary reading." – Fawwaz Traboulsi, author of 'A History of Modern Lebanon'
Tweets and the Streets
Social Media and Contemporary Activism
Paolo Gerbaudo
Analyses the impact of new social media on activism and political dissent, from Cairo to New York.
"Tweets and the Streets is very timely, not just in terms of addressing the impact of Web 2.0 on social movements and activism, but also in that it addresses and soberly assesses the use of technology from recent protests in North Africa and elsewhere […] I highly recommend this book.
"Tweets and the Streets offers an incisive and challenging new direction in thinking about the context and possibilities for digital media and activism. Gerbaudo embeds social media very firmly in the material politics of space, of bodies in motion and in the intensive connections that are vital in turning online affinity into wider movements. This book captures the current mood of rebellion with up to the moment case studies, built from the experiences of those who have played such a vital part in the latest waves of insurrection around the world. " – Joss Hands, author of @ is for Activism
What We Are Fighting For
A Radical Collective Manifesto
Edited by Federico Campagna and Emanuele Campiglio
Visions of a different society run in the interests of the 99%. Leading activist voices answer the question the media loves to ask the protesters.
"Here are the first flowers of spring: the beginning of an epochal dialogue about the human future. Inspired by the Occupy movements across the world, What We Are Fighting For should inspire all of us to join the conversation." – Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums and City of Quartz
"This collection provides a rallying point for all those who resist the dogmas of contemporary politics and seek a fresh set of alternatives. What We Are Fighting For is a manifesto full of urgent, articulate responses to the current situation." – Simon Critchley, Hans Jonas Professor of Philosophy at the New School, New York, and author of The Faith of the Faithless (2012).

The purpose of this group, assembled by
, was to make foods safer for the general population. Wiley wanted food science to include safety, which meant understanding what exactly is in the foods people were eating. The poison squad was there to test the safety of questionable chemicals. The squad even had a song with the lyrics: "On Prussic acid we break our fast; we lunch on a morphine stew; we dine with a matchhead consommé; drink carbolic acid brew." In time, the squad gained fame. People even wrote to them in hopes of joining their ranks. Over time, Wiley became known as the "
Father of the Pure Food and Drugs Act
," since the poison squad inspired what is now the FDA. Get more of the story in the video below.

We've been looking towards Anna and Gary's wedding ever since they told us their wedding theme – Doctor Zhivago. How super creative and awesome is that? This winter wedding took place on a rainy Friday afternoon, but the uncooperative weather didn't spoil the day even a tiny bit.
The day started at Campton Place Hotel where I probably spent way too much time photographing Anna's awesome shoes :) and from there we made our way to City Hall where all the guests were ready for the ceremony to start, right on the Mayor's balcony.
I just loooved this pair of Louboutins:
Most of the couples getting married in San Francisco City Hall choose to get married under the Rotunda- which is absolutely gorgeous, but I think my favorite spot for a City Hall ceremony now is Mayor's balcony. It has an amazing view of the rest of the building, it is always quiet and private as the area is roped off to public, and it allows for the couple to have pretty much as many guests as they want!
Are you looking to learn more about our style of San Francisco City Hall wedding photography? Click here for all the details: San Francisco City Hall Wedding Packages.
We decided to do all the portraits right inside of the City Hall because of the rain. We spent about an hour shooting in the halls, on the stairs, in the elevators, and even by the drinking fountains! Anna and Gary were great sports, ready to participate in any crazy ideas we had :)
Then we were off to a candlelit reception at Saint Francis Yacht Club. In line with the Doctor Zhivago wedding theme colorful matryoshka dolls were set as centerpieces at each table surrounded by brightly lit candles. The live piano music greatly added to the evening's atmosphere. The Saint Francis Yacht Club wedding also included a beautiful ice sculpture of a Russian Orthodox Church in the cocktail area and the guests were treated to black caviar and other hors d'oeuvres.
That evening at Saint Francis Yacht Club had much delicious food and warm toasts. The reception ended with a traditional Russian folk dancing performance in which Anna was one of the stars.
Congratulations, Anna and Gary!!! We were honored to be a part of your day :)
Happy Friday, everyone! Have a wonderful weekend.

Narrow space between Shadyside Buildings in three different lights
Tag: Shadyside
Wordless Wednesday
Gallerie Chiz in Shadyside, Art Show Opening
Artists Susan Middleman and Joan Brindle. Classmates reunited at Susan's Opening Reception Friday night.
Class of 1965- they met as freshmen at Carnegie Tech
(now Carnegie Mellon University) Pittsburgh PA
Joan and I were art teachers in the Pittsburgh Public Schools and then Joan was my Art Supervisor. We became friends. That's how I got invited to her friend Susan's Art Opening Reception at Gallerie Chiz. The large oil paintings on paper are Susan's art work.
I met the artist Susan Middleman through Joan.
Hosted by Gallerie Chiz owner/director Ellen Chisdes Neuberg who provided the space for connections. I knew she was the gallery owner as she came to introduce herself. I was inquiring if her plate held a sweet or a savory.
I thought it might be a chocolate or a meatball but it was a baby bella mushroom.
Ellen sported a cool purple outfit, unique art jewelry and turquoise glasses. Plus she wasn't carrying a purse. Ellen and one other person would have been selected "best dressed" if I were from the paper.
Glass and found objects artist Elizabeth Fortunato showed her work at the art opening reception this evening, too. The show is open through October 10th.
The title is Waiting for the Rain to Stop
The white embroidered dress is from Hey Betty! Vintage Clothing down the street (5890 Ellsworth Avenue)
Piano accompanied a jazzy singer which added to the life of the party
Ky Started Yo-Yoing at Age Eleven
I stopped into the old fashioned/classic toy store in the neighborhood of Shadyside on Ivy Street. The cool toy store is around the corner from where we lived when we first moved to Pittsburgh. This is the same store my three kids would browse in for the longest time on the way home from school in 1989-1991.
Two floors of toy store! Filled with LEGO® and Playmobil®, knights, puppets, trucks and trains, dolls and puzzles. Everything you can wish for as a child. You might see some items you yearned for as a kid but never received.
I was buying a gift for a friend.
And while I was there, the young man came from behind the counter and started yo-yoing. I mean yo-yoing extraordinaire! His name is Ky.
There was nothing else but to stop my shopping and watch in amazement. All I had with me was the phone camera. With a phone memory too full, I had to delete pics to take a few shots. (too much phoneography for challenges?)
Wowee Wow. I don't know how to describe it -but I was mesmerized. And then he put down the yo-yo and picked up a kendama. Yes, we have an old wooden one but I never knew what it was called. Or that it was of Japanese origin. He was smooth and skillful at both the yo-yo and kendama!
If you want to learn how to yo-yo like Ky you can head on over to Shadyside on Sunday at noon and practice how to put your yo-yo into a "sleep" so you can attempt the tricks like Ky was demonstrating. Learn "looping". Ky will be there teaching in the Yo-Yo/Skill Toy Club at S.W. Randall's. I think I need to return with a video camera and you can understand how you had to keep your eye on Ky and the yo-yo or Ky and the kendama. Do you have any yo-yo tricks?
Weekly Photo Challenge: Neighborhood
Phoneography special. The weekly photo challenge I have been talking about it for days. Unable to do it for a variety of reasons. Out of town. Too dark. Many people shoot with their phones. All day, everyday. Don't think much of it, the photos sit and take up space. They have them in the phone and that's about it.
This is just a snippet.
Tonight Steve drove us over to Shadyside for 1/2 price burger night at Shady Grove. I've added some shots around town I already had in the phone. This is not an attractive time of year to showcase where I live. If you want to see Pittsburgh at it's best you can check out Francine in Retirement of Frizz in Germany. I take photos of Pittsburgh frequently. This is a collection of the everyday. The Historical Marker is where musician Billy Eckstine lived in my neighborhood.
The snowy park is the neighborhood I live in Highland Park. There are 80 neighborhoods in our city. The edges of neighborhoods are where I drive through everyday to school and across the bridge, over the Monongahela. I've thrown in a few you've seen before just to round out the gallery.
Last Wednesday's view of the Highland Park Entrance. The second one is what my driveway looked like! It's all gone now.
Somewhere Under a Rainbow
The neighborhood is Shadyside.
Almost to Walnut Street along Shady Avenue, I had to stop and pull over.
A summer cloudburst, along with the sun appearing in the western sky- rainbow!
I'm sure the image could be tweaked a bit to darken the colors, but this is just as it was. The building is Calvary Church Parish Hall on the left, the church on the right. The 50mm 1.2 L lens was on the camera.
Shadyside in the Snow
We lived in this neighborhood for two years in a little rental behind what was the Balcony Restaurant and Jazz Club. You could hear the dumpster trucks come in the early morning and the beer bottles clash in the alley. Today on the way home from school I stopped by the Food Museum where the fruit in the window is like a Flemish painting in the Metropolitan. Better known as the Shadyside Market. An elegant place. They were really nice to me although they knew I was checking the price tags before I made my selections. I knew I could buy bacon, eggs, and bread and not break the bank. The plan was to use a box of spaghetti in the pantry, the parmesan in the fridge and make spaghetti carbonara accompanied by a spinach salad with oranges and red onion. (had Spinach Salad on my mind, thanks to Chicago John from Bartolini's Kitchen blog)
With the snow falling I knew that our big markets would be swamped as everyone rushes there to get the last roll of toilet paper or empty the shelves to stock their larder when they hear of an impending snowstorm. So no food photos of the great meal I was inspired to cook in the winter weather, But the neighborhood of Shadyside. Sometimes I cringe when I realize I would let 7 year old Laura walk around the block ALONE to Rite-Aid to buy the paper. What was I thinking? Prantl's Bakery makes the Burnt Almond Torte everyone loves. Well, most people.
Pug Guard Dog in Shadyside Shop Window
Yesterday was a very happy birthday and thanks for the emails, cards and nice comments! Laura baked a homemade angelfood cake and it was delicious. We had strawberries on it and some vanilla ice cream. James grilled out bison burgers and bratburgers, some tomato mozzarella salad and broccoli slaw.
You know how dog lovers have their specific breed they prefer? (Right Sarah and Amber?) And my cousins and their dachshunds and the Payer/McGraths and their Airedales. Laura and James have gone Golden Doodle. I know Debbie loves Golden Retrievers. Anyway, it's a theme I've examined before. My animals in the city series. E and I were walking on Walnut Street after a summer breakfast last week and we stumbled upon this pug in the shop window. I think she was snoozing on the job!
Silly Putty®, Wiffle® Ball,Slinky®- 3 Toys Share a Distinction ( and it's not short i)
All three are manufactured in the USA!!
Two in Pennsylvania, and one in Connecticut (Wiffle® Ball)
Learned how to make a ® symbol on the Mac keyboard so thought I would use (overuse) it for this post.
These names are familiar I know. And to people my age, a host of memories will resurface after you view these images.
Silly Putty® is now owned by Binney and Smith and is more than fifty years old. Tons of this pliable stuff has been manufactured and sold in the past fifty + years.
Slinky® has an interesting history, too, and About.com lists this memorable jingle but be careful cause it might stick in your head all day and you'll remember the tune, too. They are manufactured in Holidaysburg PA.
"What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, And makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing, Everyone knows it's Slinky…
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, for fun it's a wonderful toy
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun for a girl and a boy
– Advertising Jingle for Slinky
You can always buy a new Slinky cause who hasn't gotten one stretched out and tangled up irreversibly?
And I remember when Wiffle® Balls came out ! Do you? They are still selling strong. Especially to college kids.
I was in Shadyside Variety Store, picking up a few items for the grandchildren. I remember when Mark, Matthew and Laura used to shop here in the early nineties. We lived around the corner for two years and they could walk there to shop.
So many nostalgic favorites- and the latest inventive toys from the Toy Fair, like Spot It which Sharon the proprietor demonstrated for me so I can play it with Anna and Michael when I visit. Keeping my brain sharp. I am fairly certain they'll beat me.
See the rubber chicken dangling inside the colorful hula hoops at the store entrance? Next time the grandchildren come I am going to take them to the Shadyside Variety Store, give them each some money and see what they decide to buy after extensive browsing!
The nicest guy from Texas,who just finished up a Robotics Conference at CMU, was shopping – he held the Etch-a-Sketch up for me when I was exploring the store for classics!
When your shopping list says birthday gift, jumprope, jacks, sidwalk chalk, art supplies, Dots, Pinky Balls, and Silly Putty, Slinky and Wiffle Ball….. Shadyside Variety Store 5421 Walnut Street, Pittsburgh – (412) 681-1716 (Cash or check!)
Someone asked me the other day if I were a reporter. No, a blogger. Self-assigned!
..of a Different Color
Today I went for a spontaneous "meeting" with Cj at Buffalo Blues in Shadyside. And I found the long lost relative of yesterday's horse I posted. Today's horse bright and well cared for, but no freedom as he is corralled in his wooden frame which is probably to deter theft. So I don't see a single old rocking horse for years and then two in two days??? If one were to believe in signs… Looked up horse sayings seeking the origin of this Different Color phrase and we all know about the gift horse. A quote about switching horses in the middle of the race and the kids at school like to horse around. Horseplay is actually one of the boxes you can check on the discipline referral. We know about leading horses to water and on occasion I have eaten like one. If you missed the old gray mare she was posted March 31st. This spot outside the Oh Yeah! Ice Cream & Coffee 232 South Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206 (412) 200-5574 Open 7AM-11PM

something inspired by my new favourite band La roux.
Pressure. Pushing down on the hearts of all those who are hurt in the world. But we just need some love to help us get back in to our normal everyday lives.
We make our lives what we want, we are in control. No one can tell you what to do. If you don't like it, and it doesn't make you happy, you can always find a way out because it's your life.
You don't have to reach any final result. Letting yourself leave this world is not going to help anyone, and it will just cause more pain and suffering in the world that we don't need.
Some people believe one thing, others believe different, but no one can ever force you away from what you truly feel inside of you. use your head, but also your heart. Without both, you are not really making the decision, because when you make a statement or fight for something, or maybe even like a different type of music to everyone else, if not all of you believes in what you are saying, then you can be easily swayed.
And if you are easily swayed then you are weak in your beliefs and just want to fit in. Agreeing with someone about something that you are not really happy about is just like agreeing that the uniform of your school is great, or that the boss making you dress up like a chicken for work is the best idea ever.
Live your own life, not somebody elses.

Trowers & Hamlins is drawing up plans for next year to introduce an alternative to the partner role as part of a potential restructuring of its career path.
Like many other firms that have gone down this route, including Addleshaw Goddard and Berwin Leighton Paisner, the alternative would be a senior legal managerial position with client-facing duties but without the responsibilities associated with being a partner.
The Trowers proposal came out of an ongoing global consultation with fee-earners over replacing the lockstep with a merit-based approach (The Lawyer,
8 November).
Head of HR Paul Robinson explained: "An alternative to partner wasn't part of the proposal that we came to the table with. We'd discussed it, but we felt there wasn't a compelling business reason to include it.
"However, it did come up in our discussions and those involved in the consultation have gone back to their groups to get more information. What we in HR have agreed to do is put clarity and definition around what that role would look like."
Trowers has one of the tightest equities of the top 100 firms', with 24 per cent of partners having a share. However, Robinson argued that the creation of an alternative to partner "has no bearing at all on the ease or otherwise of entering into the equity".
Robinson was reluctant to comment on the possible shape of the role, but did say: "It shouldn't be an end in itself, but might offer an opportunity for those whose progression to partner is a little different."

'He is one of the finest comic actors of his generation,' joked Catherine Tate.
The Prime Minister made a surprise appearance alongside Tate's teenage chav character, Lauren.
He left Lauren speechless when he stole her catchphrase: 'Am I bovvered?'
The skit has helped to make Tate's Comic Relief DVD the fastest-selling pre-order DVD ever on the Amazon website.
Tate paid tribute to Mr Blair yesterday as she described her trip to No.10 for the recording as 'surreal'.
'There was a sense of occasion about it,' she added. 'We were all thinking, "This is history".' Mr Blair's new catchphrase even came up at Prime Minister's questions.
Asked if he was 'bovvered' about criticisms of Chancellor Gordon Brown, Mr Blair replied: 'Fortunately, one of the things I haven't had to be bothered about in the last ten years is the running of the economy.'

Here's an interesting graphic from the Wall Street Journal. It shows the Fed's economic forecasts compared to the actual economic outcome. As you can see the Fed overestimated their forecast in both the 6 and 12 month timeframes. And we're not talking about small misses in their forecast. Just eyeballing this chart, it's clear that they've missed the forecast by roughly 1.5% over much of the last 10 year period….
