Generally known as “lightweighting,” reducing a car’s weight minimizes the load on…

    Everything I know about successful prison escapes, I learned from the movies. And what I have learned is that after you escape prison, your first goal is to get out of your prison uniform and into something that will allow you to better blend into the general non-criminal public. A track suit. Some dockers, a t-shirt and a ball cap pulled low over your eyes. Your goal is to look like every single person around you so that you can simply blend in and disappear like cream being stirred into a cup of coffee. That is a fantastic metaphor.

    Deep in the belly of Lawrenceville, in the smoky Blue Moon bar, the Monday night crowd was breathless and rowdy, packed to the gills and glued to the television in anticipation.  In any other bar, it would have been the Steelers at the Superbowl or the Penguins in game seven for the Stanley Cup.  But no, it was the season finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Pittsburgh’s Sharon Needles was crowned winner of season four of the Drag Race amongst gales of cheers and slopped beers.  She distinguishes herself with her flair for horror and sharp wit. Hooray, Sharon!  We’re so…

    Say hello to Andy Barlow – he is just finishing up his Master’s degree at Point Park and he will be blogging about the Buccos for us this summer. Every April, the Pittsburgh Pirates pack their bags and leave Bradenton, FL for the friendly confines of PNC Park.  A new season always brings hope for the fans, much like myself, who have suffered through 19 consecutive losing seasons.  Manager Clint Hurdle, all-star outfielder Andrew McCutchen, and our beloved Buccos began their quest for 81 wins and beyond on April 5th.  A record crowd of nearly 40,000 watched the cross-state rival…

    The Pirates are the first of the three main sports teams in Pittsburgh to make an “It Gets Better” Video, which aired in PNC Park before a recent game.   Check out the video here. The Pirates are also working on programs to support local LGBT organizations, and President Frank Coonelly had this to say: We feel it is important to get the message out that there is no place in our society for bullying anyone for any reason,” he said. “The organization is pleased to utilize our resources to help call attention to this subject and to encourage those that have been a victim…

    There is an amazing new YouTube channel, taking clips from Mr. Rogers, from his shows, interviews behind-the-scenes footage, and edits them together for one minute clips. The clips are great lessons for adults, and it’s so amazing to be reminded of how kind and gentle of a man he really was. It makes me miss him even more. The clips are planned to be aired before movies around the area, and I can’t wait to see that. Check out the YouTube channel here.

    Mike
    24 Apr 2012 | 7:35 pm
    Over the weekend, I headed to the Pirates game (the one they lost) and on the way back, was able to take the North Shore Connector from the North Shore station to Steel Plaza. My only complaint is that the steps were messing with my eyes a little bit, but I think my glasses hadn’t gone all the way back to clear from sunglasses at the time, so I’ll chalk it up to that. We ended up waiting about five minutes with a pretty large group.  We all got on, and smoothly headed across to downtown.  It has been years since I’ve ridden the T, and I forgot how smooth it was.  I ended…

    Either Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA) is so "pro life" he refuses to recognize Yasser Arafat's death, or he's planning a séance. Via PoliticsPA:Rep. Joe Pitts recently replied to a constituent’s letter with a rather interesting position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Yasser Arafat and Ariel Sharon need to come back to the negotiating table. There’s just one problem. Arafat has been dead since 2004 and Sharon in a coma since 2006.

The legislation authorizes religiously-affiliated employers to deny contraceptive services from their employees' health insurance plans. Despite opponents saying the bill would violate a woman's right to privacy, proponents say it will apply exclusively to those entities whose religious beliefs are central to their operating principles, and for whom providing coverage for contraception could pose a moral conflict or religious objection.You'll note that the proponents' argument doesn't actually address…

  • Tracking Teh Crazie at World Net Daily

    13 May 2012 | 9:03 am
    It's always a good idea to keep track of what teh right wing crazies are thinking. This time, our good friends at birther central are doing their darnedest to connect, yet again, President Obama to Bill Ayers. They fail, of course, but in doing so it's a good lesson in what counts as dot-connecting for teh crazies over at WND. Let's begin. This morning I saw this headline at WND:It leads to this story - it's a retread, I guess, of some of the "research" they did in 2009.  The Obama/Ayers dots are "connected" in the first two paragraphs:Although the Washington Post this past week featured…

  • Voter Fraud and "Voter Fraud"

    12 May 2012 | 11:30 am
    Yawn. Scaife's braintrust is at it again. On the Op-Ed page of today's Tribune review the editorial board has published yet another fact-free warning about "voter fraud." But if you look very carefully, very little of it is about actual voter fraud - it's almost all about voter registration.Which they have to do as there's almost no voter fraud to speak of. I mean look at this:Five years after the Bush administration began a crackdown on voter fraud, the Justice Department has turned up virtually no evidence of any organized effort to skew federal elections, according to court records and…

    President Obama makes an exceedingly reasonable statement:So I decided it was time to affirm my personal belief that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry.And the culture warriors go crazie.We have to start with Senator Man on Dog himself:The announcement today by President Obama should come as no surprise to the American public. President Obama has consistently fought against protecting the institution of marriage from radical social engineering at both the state and federal level. The President recently opposed the North Carolina constitutional amendment and, of course, he refused to…

  • Is Our Regional Economy Adequately Diversified?

    6 May 2012 | 1:00 pm
    Financial advisors say that the best way to both preserve and grow your savings is to diversify your investments, i.e., create a balanced portfolio. Putting all of your eggs in one basket is dangerous. The same advice could be applied to a region’s economy. Invest in a range of different industries, and don’t rely on any one sector to create future growth, no matter how good it might look today. The Pittsburgh Region learned the perils of non-diversification the hard way thirty years ago. In 1981, over 65,000 southwestern Pennsylvanians worked in the primary metals industry (mostly the…

  • Do We Need More Competition from Health Plans or Hospitals?

    1 Apr 2012 | 6:45 am
    In a typical economic market, the more sellers of a particular product or service there are, the lower prices will be, because the sellers will compete on price in order to attract customers. This has led many people to believe that the way to get lower health insurance premiums is to have more health insurance companies competing to sell insurance in our region.However, it’s not quite as simple as that, because health insurance companies are not only sellers of insurance, they’re also the buyers of our healthcare services. They negotiate with hospitals and physicians to set the prices…

  • Price Discrimination in Health Care

    4 Mar 2012 | 6:23 am
    Imagine going to the grocery store and being told that the price you’d pay for food would depend significantly on whether you had a job and where you worked. If you worked for one company, you’d get milk and bread at a price close to what the store paid the wholesaler. If you worked for a different company, you would have to pay 20% or 30% more. If you didn’t have a job at all, you’d have to pay three or four times as much. Same milk and bread, same store, but a different price for different customers.Bizarre, right? Yes, but that’s exactly the way things work in our health care…

  • Leading the Nation, But Leaving Many Behind

    5 Feb 2012 | 5:48 am
    Like a rocket suddenly leaving the launch pad after a long countdown, the Pittsburgh Region’s economy surged forward last fall with unprecedented job growth. In September, the region still had 7,000 fewer jobs than before the recession began and over 9,000 fewer jobs than in the year 2000. But just one month later, the exact opposite was true – there were more jobs in the Pittsburgh Region in October than any October in history. We had 14,900 more jobs in October than in September, 23,100 more than a year earlier and 2,500 more than in October 2008 when the recession was just beginning.

    I like to give other people grief about their hoarding abilities, but I'm pretty sure it's entirely my fault that all of Alexis' clothes are still in our house. And I do mean *ALL* of her clothes ... every last thing she has ever worn in her entire life. Before we moved to the giant house with too many bathrooms just shy of three years ago, our itty bitty townhouse posed many storage challenges. At the top of that challenge list was Alexis' closet. It was literally one foot wide. LITERALLY. As in, I went to IKEA and bought her closet and it was only one foot wide. She had four drawers and a…

Picture me doing the Dance of Joy right here. Because I am. I have one of those kids who can go through $20 worth of fruit in one sitting and then do it again a few hours later, so it's really very nice being able to ply her with strawberries without having it hurt my wallet too badly.
