I've been looking for a good clothing store in Pittsburgh but not found any yet.
My favorite brands are Tsumorichisato(a Japanese one), Agnes b, Paul Smith, etc. Generally speaking I like uni-sexual clothes and I'm wearing both male and female ones though I'm a man in fact.
Do you know a shop you think I'll like?|||螜 don't know. Sorry :(
I'm doing an article on sports figures in Pittsburgh. On the bad role-models I only have Roethlistberger. ON the good role-model side I have Sidney Crosby, Ward, and Palamalu. Is there anyone else you can think of?|||If you go old school Roberto Clemente is considered one of the most famous sports role models (not only in the 'Burgh) and really, a true hero.
Also Mario Lemieux is considered a role model because even though he's Canadian he's devoted his postPenguin life to the Penguins, becoming an owner in order to keep them in Pittsburgh. He had cancer and really terrible back trouble during his playing career and always came back to play. Read up on him; I think you'll find alot there you can use.
Edit: Ward is NOT known as a good role model by people in the know in Pittsburgh.|||Do they have to be current players? Roberto Clemente was one of the greatest role models Pittsburgh ever had:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Cle鈥?/a>
EDIT:
Ralph Kiner:
http://www.ralphkiner.com/index.htm
The man only played for seven years, most of them with Pittsburgh, and yet still made the Hall Of Fame. A nice, decent man, really old school.|||Hines Ward is not a good role model. He is a dirty player, youtube him and some of the things he has done, please take him off of your good role model list.|||Ward and Clemente (Palamalu maybe)|||he's retired in hockey, but you could put Mario Lemuix in there
I am organizing a dance benefit to raise money for the Children's Village in Karmiel, Israel. The benefit will be held in Pittsburgh, PA and I wanted to know what places would be good venues for the event?|||Even the small hotels like Best Western and Days Inn have conference rooms and ballrooms which are perfect for a benefit. The large Hiltons have magnificent rooms. They might give you a great rate if you don't choose their busiest night.
If the event is smaller, a synagogue would have a room for you and you might have to pay nothing. The Elks Club has dance halls which have fully stocked bars..
Hey, I'm a teenager who loves getting athletes autographs or any other famous people. Does anybody know where I could get any autographs around Pittsburgh? Any things special happening? any signings going on? Even if it's not until summer I'd sitll like to know.
Thank You!|||Steel City Con several times a year at Monroeville Convention Center. Next one is July 29, 30, 31.|||Wait until the lockout is over and get the Steelers. If you really want a pirate go for McCutchion. Get CF seats or wait til the Phillies come to town.
Does anyone know where I can get cheap Lady Gaga tickets for her performance in either Pittsburgh or Clevleland?? I dont want to spend more than $115. Please help.|||Here is a link the cheapist one is $105 hope it helps!

What exactly do you think of the Pittsburgh Penguins?|||Young and crazy talented|||I think the Pens are a great team with a lot of great young talent. People always talk crap about Crosby, but he's really, really young, and regardless of what people say, he's one of the best players in the league. Along with other youngsters like Malkin, and the veteran guys like Bill Guerin, they're a solid team, top to bottom. And I definitely think they're a championship caliber team.|||They are a real good team who have a whole lot of good players, 2 of them definatly amoung the top 10 in the world. They just seem to think that anything they do is ok, and anything the other team or its fans do is unsportsmanlike or cheating, even to the point of complaining when fans throw hats on the ice after a hat trick!!!,
after that knee to knee hit that I really think is about 50-50 being intentional last nite, can not help think of all the whining when OV hit Gonshar in an obvious accident.
Guess summed up for such a good team they lack the class of a Detroit, Crosby does not lose, he is either screwed by the refs or the other team cheated,(remember him and Zutterburg last year, Zutterburg is dirty and a cheat, yea, right!!!) Rather than work through the tough times and take their lumps, they complain and think they are entitled, SPOILED ROTTEN.
Having said that, Live in VIrginia beach, and since Ovechkin I get to about 20 Caps games a year even though the blackhawks still have my heart, looking forward to the next 10 years of cap-penguins, as long as the stars stay healthy it is going to be yankees- red sox, and redskin=cowboy like!!!
At game 1 this year a guy up in the nose bleeds had a huge poster of Crosby in drag and with makeup, he would be a georgeous chick!!!|||They're exceptionally talented and have brought more enthusiasm for hockey to Pittsburgh over the last couple years than there has ever been before. They are the "model franchise in the league". Overall they play great and with honesty & integrity. They have given fans reason to believe in their team no matter the odds. Their faith and support has become unconditional.
With this team, Mario, Bugsy, Army, & a few others back I think we'd have the All Time Pens Team. But what we got is pretty close!|||They are showing more discipline and energy under Bylsma. I think since last years Cup run they have learned from Detroit alot about playing as a unit. And like Detroit's star players, Crosby and Malkin work hard at both ends. They should get to the Finals.
I just hope they are not the second best team in the league again this year. Go Pens!|||I think that the pens are going to be matched up with the Wings again but i dont think they are experienced enough just yet. I also thin that they know what the Wings are made of and i think the cup is going to pittsbugh this year.|||Well you say Pittsburgh knows what the Wings are made of. Wouldn't that mean the Wings know what the Pens are made of? I think its going to be these two teams unless Pittsburgh lose to Carolina on Thursday.Im pulling for the Wings though! Go Wings!!!|||They have great offensive power, no doubt. But defense and goaltending are a little above average. To me the Pens appear to be a bunch of really outstanding individual players, rather and a complete outstanding team.|||I personally don't like the Penguins, but they are a young team with exceptional talent. Crosby is easily one of the best players in the NHL and he's a great leader too.|||Well, Lets see.... Umm.. Their crosby can kick the crap out of ovechkin, um.... and he makes "Eight the great" look like a @$#%^$ and they are going to win the stanley cup because they rock.... and they have the next Gretsky on their team!!!! GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!|||Born and raised a fan. Will die a fan, too.
I think this years team, overall is better than the Stanley Cup Finals team from last year. If they win, they will certainly be regarded as one of the best.|||CROSBY IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA
I find it hilarious that people on here have such hateful things to say about a 21 yr old...in fact most of the hate is coming from people old enough to be his father! Pathetic....
The Pens...well they are okay|||Great hockey team. Crosby is a great leader and his having a tremendous post-season. As well as solid defense in Gonchar, and Letang. THEY'RE GOING ALL THE WAY|||I exactly like them however they are going to have to play better in this years finals against the Redwings if they want that cup. I think they will!|||their a good young team but highly overrated.|||I think they beat the Capitals and the Flyers in this years playoffs (my 2 most hated teams) so go pens!|||We have a stronger team than last year. Let's Go Pens!!!!!|||they are amazing have the best player in the world (crosby) and going to win the cup|||I think they are an excellent team that has not quite reached the top of their game. Close, but.......|||I think they are a strong team, and with the right talent they can go really far! Go Pens!|||They were great with Mario Lemieux, right now? they suck|||B*tches...|||ON FIRE!!!!|||strong team strong players great scoring ability going all the way!
LETS GO PENS|||i think it looks like they may be my last hope that the wings wont be winning 2 times in a row!|||Crosby is a disgrace to the team|||sorry never heard of them
I need to watch an important high school football game that will be broadcasted on FSN Pittsburgh tomorrow night but I live in Italy so is there anyway I can see on the internet or something?|||espn, check in the archives or other sports files................|||try http://soccer.freezoka.com

I saw footage of the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates today. The players wore hats that were black with stripes. Some hats had a single star while others had many stars. what do the stars represent?|||They were called "Stargell Stars", and were given out by Willie Stargell to teammates when they made a good play or got a key hit.|||"Pops" passed out the stars after each game. The 1979 Pirates were a great team.
They were struggling as of late and Mark Sanchez led them into Pittsburgh with a 2 game losing streak. Brad Smith started the game off with a bang and the Jets never looked back. Can't really say the defense did too good yesterday but they did come up big when it mattered most. Going into Pittsburgh in the cold and snow, they made a big statement to all their skeptics, in my opinion at least. I'd like to hear any opinions you all have.|||Absolutely. They lose that one and I think they are mentally out of it. That will be a big confidence booster for them. Does it mean they are back to early season form - absolutely not but it does go a long way in the right direction. I think its like a baseball player getting out of a slump - time will tell if they will get going again but they sure needed that one to wake up.
As far as proving the skeptics wrong - I doubt it. I also doubt Pittsburgh is too shook up. I think everything good that happened yesterday is internally with the Jets. I don't expect reverberation or ripple effect through the league which is good for them. They need to get their internal confidence back and fly under the radar for once - that is when they excel. They need to stay out of the spotlight and be quiet now...yes even Rex!|||Yeah that was a tough win, but a win is a win in december. Probably see the Ravens in the playoffs, get past them, and New England, and they may see my Eagles in the Super Bowl.|||mark sanchez sucks. simply put. he won't match up with the rest of the team for at least another 2 years, and by then the rest of the team will suck. jets suck. thank u for reading.|||I actually dont like either teams, but is nice seeing that the cheatsteelrs got served|||They made a HUGE statement. Pitt gave up the safety and that was their biggest mistake....|||No, they will lose in round 2 of the playoffs.|||I LOVE seeing football in the snow!! AWESOMENESS!! q:|||Of course after what happened against Miami!|||Not really, sorry.|||IT MEANS THE YARE A GOOD TEAM|||I sure believe they did.|||Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|||ahhh haaaaaaaa enuf said|||Two teams that I really hate. I wish they had both killed each other.
I am planning to go INDIA from US on MAY 30th and will return on JUN 20th. where can I get a good deals.

That will get you the cheapest fare possible. Good luck!|||Local deals - http://www.jantareview.com/pro… Report Abuse
My girlfriend used to eat a lot of sl氓ttebr酶d during her stay in Norway, now that she's back in the states she hasn't been able to find a store selling it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find a store that sells it around Pittsburgh? It's highly preferred to buy it somewhere over making it.|||i like bread
I am having trouble determining if I should move to Pittsburgh PA or Toronto Canada. I like both places but Pittsburgh is closer to where I live to I could see my family. And I like Canda because I think it would be cool to live in another country. So could someone please tell me the positive and negative things about both places, and where I should move! Thanks!!
PS- I want to become a LPN, so which one would also be better for me?|||I am unaware of the differences by country as far as wages and working conditions for a practical nurse, but I do know that moving to Canada can be a hectic experience. I myself (going into audiology) was interested in moving to Canada as well, but decided not to do so because of the complexities and base costs of being even a U.S. to Canada immigrant.
Here are some web resources to check out.
http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/content鈥?/a>
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/i鈥?/a>
Best of luck! Hope you decide upon whichever makes you happiest.
BTW: Just to add one more fact, Canada is in a better economic state at the moment, however, I am not sure that economic conditions are affecting medical professions in the United States.|||The cost of living is much lower in Pittsburgh. Housing costs are very cheap compared with other cities. The lagging U.S. economy hasn't affected Pittsburgh as much as other areas. And if you're in a medical field, Pittsburgh is the place to be.
That said, Canada is much cooler, more urban, more international. I love visiting there, but couldn't afford to live there in more than a basement apartment. (I know because we looked into it.)|||If you want to move to Canada, here is a link to the Canadian government web site with the information.
http://www.goingtocanada.gc.ca/CIC/displ鈥?/a>
You can take this test to see if you might qualify
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/s鈥?/a>
One of the most popular ways of entering Canada is as a skilled worker. Follow this link to see if you are eligible
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/s鈥?/a>
However, Canadian employers will often not hire a person without Canadian employment experience, which you cannot get until someone offers you a job. The problem is that so many previous immigrants from countries other than the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand or north western Europe have had false credentials that Canadian employers are wary of hiring people from other places than I listed.
The process of moving to Canada can take up to three years and can cost $10,000 in government fees. Permanent residency in Canada is not free.
If you are a US citizen, an easier to way to work in Canada, at least on a temporary basis may be under NAFTA. However, you must be a member of certain specialty occupations. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/specia鈥?/a>
These occupations are listed here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TN_Visa
As well, if you are an H-1B visa holder in the USA, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residence in Canada.
http://canadaimmigrationlaw.net/Immigrat鈥?/a>
Also note that you do not need to know any French to immigrate to Canada unless you plan to live in the province of Quebec.|||Don't just move here b/c its cool to live in another country. Living in Toronto is expensive. Having said that, nursing jobs are in demand in Canada (I don't know about the practical nurse, its the ones that work in hospitals that are in demand). Can't comment on Pittsburgh...it would be nice to live close to family so if you can get a job there its a bonus.|||Pittsburgh is booming right now. It is one of the rare city with money flowing in rather than going bankrupt.
If you happen to be in Science or Medical field, Pittsburgh is definitely the place to be (http://www.upmc.com/mediarelations/Pages鈥?/a>
There are a lot of things to do too. Check out some of the Pittsburgh events at this site (http://www.eventsburgh.com) and you will see what Pittsburgh can offer.|||I would definitely say Canada.
Besides, the U.S. is kinda in a bit of financial trouble right now, and the Canadian dollar is higher than the U.S. dollar right now. Also, canadians have health care for free. :)|||canada|||Canada is amazing. Love the people and food way more!
Would ez pass help me driving from pittsburgh to toronto?|||It works at the international border crossings (ie the bridges) but that's the last time you'd need it.|||Only in the USA. It doesn't work in Ontario.

It will work on the New York thru way, which is the I- 90.

I honestly think getting rid of him was a huge mistake.
He created/set up many goals, and he was a great offensive player.|||I haven't heard that. But I'm willing it to be true, we'll see if that works.

You might want to call the information desk at Fort Ligonier and see if they know of any local groups.
I think most require that you be 18 or have a parent along if you are 16 or 17. This is due to liability issues and the fact that there are weapons at the enactments.|||You can check on the sites below.

They don't play each other this year.|||The Steelers don't play the Cowboys in the regular season until next year, so unless you're having a psychic vision and see this as the Super Bowl match-up, I have no prediction for you.
Cheers!|||Good to see another Steelers fan, but they will not meet this year. They will meet next year in Heinz Field.
$90,000 is the program cost for a bachelors degree in science in hotel and restaurant management from the art institute of Pittsburgh online. It intrested me but is it worth the cost/debt, what jobs could I get, anyone have this or a similar degree?

For $90K you can attend literally any of the top-tier universities in the country, so why would you waste a similar amount to take classes from a fake college.....

Or in Pittsburgh, I'm looking for high class talent agencies, with lots of business, And they get their money from commissions only, so I wouldn't be absolutely required to pay for classes, or at least they would suggest classes from somewhere else, so I can do a better job working with them. I trust John Robert Powers, but I think there's none of his places in Pittsburgh, correct me if I'm wrong and please provide other agencies.|||The three largest, most reputable agencies in Pittsburgh (that have gotten me and my friends work in modelling, commercials, movies, etc.) are:
- Nancy Mosser casting - www.mossercasting.com A good source for steady extra and commercial work.
- The Talent Group - www.talentgroup.com - Acting, voice over, modelling
- Docherty - www.dochertyagency.com - Acting, voice over, modelling
None require classes or any up front payment. Just call or attend an open call session (with monologue and head shots ready). In my experience they have all been excellent to work with (for commercial acting, industrials, extra work and print modelling). I don't think there is a John Robert Powers agency in Pittsburgh.|||Thank you so much, I'm going to be looking into this, very good answer. I need to find a monologue that's good for me .

|||Agents
They are in business. They are trying to make money. They should not however insist that you take their classes or use their photographer. They do not look at your picture and resume and go out and try to find you a job.
You should give them enough information about your skills and decent photos of you.
Almost all agents know where to find out about casting for theater and movies.
When these castings are announced they look through their files to see who might have a chance. If you appear to have a chance they will notify you.

I'm a Pittsburgh Penguins fan who has been transplanted to SC so I don't get to hear much about my Pens. Whats up with them? Whats wrong?|||The effects of last spring's eight week playoff run are starting to hit home (i.e. fatigue...both physical and mental).
A loss of character guys (Armstrong, Malone) and their resident policeman (Laraque).
Their captain has, at times, not been as strong of a leader as he should be.
Not sure if sacking the coach is a cure-all; it might help in the short run, but long term...not sure.
Either way, if they get in the playoffs they have a ton of guys with experience so this won't be a new experience for them.|||Cup Finals Hangover with very long playoff run.

Glen Greene -- If it's a hangover, why are the Red Wings doing so well?|||I give up answering this question cause i honestly have no idea anymore...|||Pittsburgh has currently been on a long and terrible stretch of games, especially on home ice. The secondary scoring players have died off in their good intensive play and Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have let the frustrations of a few losses get to their heads which means they are now starting to struggle. Of course, you can't always carry a team on your back alone. Their frustration is losing them games. They're just not playing smart hockey.|||i agree with john d
scoring is not the problem, its the D
Believe it or not Gonchar is a PLUS player, that means, not only does he score, but he keeps the puck out of his zone, which creates scoring chances
Watch a pens game the puck is constantly in their own zone, its gut wrenching if you are a pens fan.

And yeah, the BCS championship was probably the most boring thing I have ever seen between. I watched a quarter or so of it just because I wanted to see if LSU could get past the 50 yard mark. They finally did near the end of the fourth quarter, I think it was.
I never liked college football, because it doesn't have a playoff system and the popularity rankings really give me no reason to invest my time into it. This game was the epitome of everything that is wrong with college football.
LSU had to win out in order to win a championship game, while Alabama only had to go 1-1. Makes no sense.|||Probably not, because the injuries would have probably kept the Steelers from the top 2. I'd say it would have been the Packers and New England, or maybe Baltimore. Remember at 15-1 the Packers would be the #1. This isn't an AFC only League. However the whole it wouldn't matter that the Ravens won twice would still fit if the rest was true.

Why do the Pittsburgh Steelers have their logo on only one side of their helmet?|||The Steelers are the only NFL Team that sports their logo on only one side of the helmet. At first, this was a temporary measure because the Steelers weren't sure they would like the look of the logo on an all-gold helmet. They wanted to test them before going all-out.
Equipment manager Jack Hart was instructed to put the logo only on one side of the helmet - the right side. The 1962 Steelers finished 9-5 and became the winningest team in franchise history to date. The team finished second in the Eastern Conference and qualified for the Playoff Bowl. They wanted to do something special for their first postseason game, so they changed the color of their helmets from gold to black, which helped to highlight the new logo.
Because of the interest generated by having the logo on only one side of their helmets and because of their team's new success, the Steelers decided to leave it that way permanently|||Because the Rooneys are some cheap bastards!|||The Steelers are the only NFL team that sports their logo on only one side of the helmet.

I know this topic has been beaten to death with a stick, but I'm lookin' for a personal answer.

Northeastern cities were based more on finance. The first time that I visited Pittsburgh to visit a college friend, I was the big city freak from back east.
But the things that you wish to ignore are as important. Pittsburgh is 300 miles from Philadelphia, separated by the Appalachian Mountains. Since water was the important way of getting around prior to 1900, it was more closely related to Ohio than Eastern Pennsylvania.

They will have to look at Valencia's accreditation, and analyze the classes that you have taken in order to decide if they will take them.
If you were looking at a UC, this would be easier, because they deal with this every day, and already know all of the CCs, and all of the classes offered, and already have decided what will transfer and what will not.

NHL DRAFT | Pittsburgh’s pick could interest KC
Penguins still may end up nesting here
By RANDY COVITZ
The Kansas City Star
Hockey fans in Kansas City have good reason to keep an eye on today’s National Hockey League draft in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The second pick in the draft belongs to the Pittsburgh Penguins, and their selection has a chance of playing in a Kansas City uniform when the Sprint Center opens in the fall of 2007.
The Pittsburgh franchise is for sale and is a prime candidate to move if plans are not in place for a new building before its lease at antiquated Mellon Arena expires at the end of the upcoming season.
Sam Fingold, a real-estate developer from Toronto now based in Hartford, Conn., said Friday he plans to make an offer for the Penguins “relatively soon” and reiterated that he would move the club to Kansas City if not assured of a new arena in Pittsburgh.
The Isle of Capri gaming company has promised to fund a $290 million facility adjacent to Mellon Arena if it secures a standalone slot machine parlor in Pittsburgh. But if one of two other bidders for the license is selected by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board sometime before the end of 2006, there would be no assurance for a new arena, freeing the club to move.
Fingold said from what he hears, Isle of Capri’s chances don’t “look all that great. Obviously (that leaves) Kansas City.”
Another bidder for the Penguins, Andy Murstein, president of Medallion Financial Corp. in New York, said he wants to keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh and told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the Isle of Capri “has less than a 50 percent chance” of gaining the slots license.
Murstein, who at one time expressed interest in purchasing the Kansas City Wizards soccer team, said he plans to make an offer and told the Post-Gazette the Penguins “are probably going to sign (a letter of intent) with somebody within the next 30 days.”
That means a sale of the Penguins — for an expected $150 million to $170 million — could be consummated before the awarding of the slots license.
Should Isle of Capri not be granted the slots license, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell has proposed a Plan B for building a new arena. The winning casino bidder would commit $7.5 million a year for 30 years, and the Penguins would contribute $4 million a year toward construction.
Murstein told the Post-Gazette he believes Plan B would work, but Fingold has his doubts. There could be other interested parties who want to relocate the team to cities such as Houston; Hamilton, Ontario; or Winnipeg, Manitoba, but the Penguins’ lease stipulates the club must wait until July 1 to contact prospective buyers who want to move the franchise.
The Penguins have declined to comment on any aspect of the sale other than the fact that the team is on the market.
Fingold has been in constant contact with Paul McGannon of NHL21, the group in Kansas City dedicated to bringing the NHL to the Sprint Center, and with AEG, which will manage the arena.
McGannon is attending the draft and networking with NHL owners and officials on behalf of Kansas City while working on bringing an exhibition game to Kemper Arena this fall.|||Well hopefully more than last season LOL
I was just wondering, how old do you have to be to drive in Pittsburgh?|||You can drive at any age in Pittsburgh, but in order to have a license, you need to be 16 years old.|||It's probably the same age as the rest of Pennsylvania, so at 16 you can get your learner's permit and 6 months after you can take the test to get your license.
See I live in Raleigh nc and I was looking to move to a northern city. I have been to Pittsburgh but not in the winter. I want to move to a city that is cold enough in the winter to play pond hockey. If you have other suggestions of cities to move to for less brutal summers and cold winters please feel free to tell me and I will take them into consideration. Thanks!|||Thanks to the piles and piles of lawyers and irresponsible parents and children, the ponds near me in NY that I grew up playing pond hockey on are now never open for skating. As much as you'll need cold enough weather, you also need either your own pond or to have the local parks open for skating. Good luck!|||To answer your question, yes and no.Pittsburgh weather will give you a roughly 6-8 week period in which pond hockey can be played (Early January-late February). There are a few places in the suburbs such as Canonsburg Lake (Southwest suburb) and Moraine State Park (North). I've skated at Canonsburg. Report Abuse
|||Eh I don't really know. I live close to Pittsburgh which is Ohio and we get a lot of snow so I'm sure Pittsburgh does as well. I went on Wallace Lake before once in Berea, Ohio 20 minutes from Cleveland, Ohio and skated which was pretty thick but I didn't trust going out far and it was very bumpy. Maybe but I wouldn't trust going out far just in case
My husband and I are considering moving to Pittsburgh, PA this Summer, and we have limited info of how life will be like living in Pittsburgh (based on internet research). Aside from that, we will be moving from Hawaii so it'll be a big move/life change so we just want to have an idea of what we'll be getting ourselves into. And also, we have 2 little girls that we hope will enjoy life wherever we go.|||I live in Pittsburgh and I absolutely love it here. Bethel park has great neighborhoods and Carnegie is a good atmosphere . The culture here is great Pittsburgh kinda of has a language of it's own you'll notice people talk alot different here and the people here for the most part are pretty friendly and alittle old school. Pittsburgh it known for it's medicine and the hospitals here are great and st. Judes hospital will treat you without charge if you can't avord it- the cons of Pittsburgh I guess is there's a traffic problem when you get in the city or fort Pitt tunnel.

Atlanta has used a coaching change to turn around their season, Washington is trying it. With the lofty expectations on the Penguins at the start of the year and their lackluster performance so far, how much longer does Therrien get to turn it around?
Unless Pittsburgh starts playing .500 plus hockey I think he is gone before the new year.|||I think Pittsburgh should address its goaltending situation before they make a coaching change. Marc-Andre Fleury has been letting in a lot of questionable goals this season. I'm not saying trade Fleury but maybe he does need a veteran back up goalie to work with him before he loses all his confidence and becomes another Jocelyn Thibault when he was with the Habs. I still don't understand why they haven't gone out to sign UFA Curtis Joseph, who can still play a couple of games and teach Fleury in the process.|||i don't think they will get rid of therrien unless they don't make it in the playoffs. last year they were a little slow to get started in the 1st half of the season and in the 2nd part of the season they were on fire. they will most likely make a trade or something of the sort before they consider firing therrien.|||I agree....shortly after the break if nothing improves before then.

It described a man with a "Don't tread on me" flag from Wisconsin, which has been linked to the tea parties. Then it talked about liberals in the protests. After that, it referenced many anarchists, like one from Sarycuse, NY.

|||Pramanti Brothers. or go to a deli and get a chipped ham sandwich (cant get chipped ham anywhere but pittsburgh) i think|||Pemanti Bros!|||Primantti Bros. is the typical restraunt/food associated with Pittsburgh. It's what they always show clips of them making on Sunday Night Football. (Grill fried lunch meat, provalone cheese, tomato, french fries, sweet vinegar colelsaw all on two huge slices of Mancini's italian bread). Great stuff, put the Red Devil Hotsauce on it.
Islays Chipped Ham Sandwiches are very Pittsburgh too. You can't get that stuff anywhere outside of Pittsburgh. My friends came back in from DC and were complaining they can't get Islay's chipped ham down there. It makes the best Ham BBQ too. Take some home with you.
Perogies are pretty Pittsburgh, Grill 36 serves them as a starter, there available at a lot of local restraunts too.
Pittsburgh Steak or Chicken Salads are topped with french fries and ranch dressing.
Sarris Chocolates are very very good, especially their chocolate covered pretzles. You can get those at Giant Eagle and some gift shops.
The Original Hotdog Shop (The Dirty "O" as it's referred to) in Oakland had homemade Hotdogs that were excellent, but I think that closed down.
lol it's all real heavy and fatty foods, wonder why Pittsburgh has a weight problem? ;) A lot of the chains have pushed out the local small restraunts lately, so it's tough to rattle off some things that are "just pittsburgh" anymore. Primantti's is probably the most unique followed by Islays.
i'm not from around pittsburgh and the only reason i'll be there on my birthday is because of the winter classic the next day. my birthday s the 31st of december.. i heard that the south-side is where i want to be? anybody know of good bars down there?|||I lived in South Side for 5 years, and it is pretty much all dive bars, a million in a row. The bars are all very small, and it's difficult to move, talk or get a drink on weekends. If that's the scene you're looking for, definitely go there. I enjoyed it when I was in my early 20's. I just moved though, because I couldn't stand it anymore, people are out of control.
I far prefer Station Square. They have a mix of larger bars that aren't as jammed up with people. They are also a lot nicer of bars. If you like dancing too, there's a good mix of dance clubs there. There's virtually no room to dance at all in South Side bars. My favorite birthday bar is Buckhead Saloon in Station Square. If you let them know that it's your birthday, you get in for free. Everyone with your party gets in for free up til 10:00. Your drinks are all $1 from10:00-midnight, and your friends drinks are all $3 from 10:00-midnight.
http://www.buckheadpittsburgh.com/
You also have Bar Room, SaddleRidge, Steelhouse, Zen, Bar Louie and other places there. For celebrating your birthday with friends, I think it'd be more enjoyable at a nicer/larger bar than a crowded dive bar.

If you do go to South Side, here's a good tip for you. Don't park anywhere illegal, they've been towing & ticketing every weekend, hundreds of cars per night. Don't park near stop signs, hydrants, or within 20 feet of any street corner. Don't block a driveway or garage. It's nearly impossible to find parking on weekends, so you'll just have to keep cruising until you find something open.|||If you just want to get drunk Southside is a good choice.

It calls for war to get started in the Mid East which is to spead in the US as part of their ultimate plan. They want to complete it by then and depopulate the planet by 2012. There may be a total collapse of our economy in the next 6 weeks. China said we will not give you more money. And if you bring the dollar down China says that is an act of war. So why is the Chinese building up their Military right now? Russia said we don't want your dollar you have to pay us in gold or oil. The only currencies we have now is drugs, gold and oil.

“The Steelers’ championship parade cost us roughly $6.5 million in street closures, float rental, security expenditures, and sanitation overtime—not to mention the incalculable loss of man-hours for our struggling local businesses.” “Pittsburgh can’t afford to forget how the four Super Bowl parades we had in the 1970s were followed by mill closures, layoffs, and a decade-long recession.

Equipment manager Jack Hart was instructed to put the logo only on one side of the helmet - the right side. The 1962 Steelers finished 9-5 and became the winningest team in franchise history to date. The team finished second in the Eastern Conference and qualified for the Playoff Bowl. They wanted to do something special for their first postseason game, so they changed the color of their helmets from gold to black, which helped to highlight the new logo.
Because of the interest generated by having the logo on only one side of their helmets and because of their team's new success, the Steelers decided to leave it that way permanently.
Today's helmet reflects the way the logo was originally applied and it has never been changed.
The Steelers are all about tradition! Go Steelers! Take down the chargers!!!|||because their only half as cheap as cleveland who have none on their helmets.|||They are a blue collar city They watch the $ any way possible alot of pride in Pitt
I am getting married next year and we love the Steelers and Pittsburgh so we wanted to have a fun event at the field. Anyone know prices or any info? I know the site has an FAQ but nothing that has prices and I wanted to know before I contacted them. Thanks for any info!|||Gillette Stadium (Where the Patriots play) has a large banquet type room for company functions and weddings and it is a fortune!!!! Our company had a corporate kick-off there 2 years ago and it was around $150,000 for 5 hours. NOT CHEAP ha ha. I assume weddings or equal or greater since our reception (~100 employees) was less than most weddings. And we had appetizers w/o an entree.|||I know they have long rooms on both sides of the stadium that serve as being the club for the grey seating. Expansive lighting, and a long room (in Pittsburgh colors), with the stadium's kitchen facilities down the hall-near the west side, about 100 yards from the east side or parking lot side. They do hold many parties for all occasions there, but I do not know what it would cost.
I have to draw an animal for school and I love the Pittsburgh Penguins so I thought I'd turn it into a bit of a fan art. Should I use an empire penguin or does it not really matter?|||Emperor penguins are an excellent choice, they have the gold on their throats and sides of their heads so you can get all the Penguins colours.|||Being that you're drawing animals, I'm guessing you're not in a very high grade. That being said, noone's going to know or care what type of Penguin it is anyway. There's no zoologists in grade school. In a college bio class someone might look at that and think "empire penguin". At your level (again I'm just guessing that you're in grade school), kids are going to look at that and just think "penguin". So the type doesn't matter.
EDIT: Empire penguins ARE emperor penguins. It's an AKA.|||Actually they are Emperor Penguins, not Empire, not to be mean but just so if you are writing it you don't lose points for the name. To be honest I don't think the team picked any real type of Penguin, they just took a Penguin. I will admit that the Emperor Penguin would be a good choice because they are a rather large Penguin.|||Go for it, I'm pretty sure they won't study it to make sure it is perfect. They'd probably like it, they'd think it was creative, haha. :p|||I have no idea and I'm just spit balling this but I presume they d be affiliated with each other, some how! maybe they re a sub unit team?? like AHL feeder team?|||One is a hockey team, the other lives in the Antarctica.
I am a second semester freshmen in college and applied as a transfer to the University of Pittsburgh for next fall. I got a 3.8 GPA my first semester in college, but i only had around a 3.0 GPA in high school. I got a 25 on my ACTs without the writing. The admissions office wants to see my grades after i am finished this semester. Is this bad? Do i have any chance of getting in? Would i be accepted/declined after this semester ends or before?|||It can depend on where you acquired the 3.8 GPA. The more impressive the school, the more impressive the GPA. I wouldn't worry about your high school GPA since you're already a freshman in college. And admissions will always want to see your grades for the end of the semester just to make sure you didn't slack off badly at the end. If anything, that's probably a good sign, because if they weren't interested in you to begin with they probably wouldn't care what your grades were at the end of the semester. I don't know when you'd be accepted/declined as a transfer. As a senior in high school, I got accepted after 4-6 months i think. I'm sure you have a fairly decent chance of getting in.

I'm going to be attending the Mortuary School of Pittsburgh located on 5808 Baum Blvd. I do in fact need an apartment in a good area that is within walking distance to the school. I also would love to know more about the city. Thank you!|||Hah-- that's actually quite near me. I *think* the mortuary school is technically in East Liberty. Do NOT move there!!! Nearby neighborhoods to look at: Shadyside, Bloomfield, Friendship. Bloomfield and Friendship are going to be cheaper. What exactly are you looking for in an apt? There are some regular old high-rise buildings around here, but also an awful lot of 1900s Victorian Houses that have been converted into 2 and 3 apartments that are for rent. Some condos, too. I love this area though, you can walk to three grocery store, Schenley park, lots of bars and restaurants around too! :-)
We live a little north of Pittsburgh, Slippery Rock actually. I love eating out and chatting. I am always looking for new, really good restaurants. Any ideas?|||If you're going into the city there's a bunch. If you've been in pittsburgh long than you know these two:
"The O" is on the corner of Bouqet and Forbes in Oakland
"Primanti Brothers" are in Oakland, South Side, and the Strip
My favorite from back home is
"The Cambodican" It's in the south side down towards 14th or 15th on East Carson St. It's right across from Nakama. Just a little hole in the wall place with AMAZING cambodican food. Super cheap, super delicious. Definetly check it out if your in the South Side.|||Pasta Too

Who has the best network for Pittsburgh and the surrounding area?|||Honestly, it really depends on the surrounding areas. Verizon has execellent coverage. I currently have verizon and live near the pittsburgh airport. It is the best coverage in my area which is about 30 min from the city. Within the city limits, most major carriers have execellent service. In the past I have had Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile and Cricket. Sprint seems to work miracles inside of buildings that normally do not receive service. I would go back to Sprint again. At&t can be shaky in several areas. It is probably my least recommended. T-Mobile works great in the city (and their customer service is remarkable) but outside the city limits beware! I had to leave T-Mobile because there were several areas with no service at all. Cricket is a more local provider. I have not used them in years, but the friends that I have who use Cricket stand by it faithfully. Coverage in the area is great, but I am not sure that you have any service outside the area without extra fees. All-in-all I would choose verizon or Sprint if I were you. See who is offering the best deal. Hope that this helps!|||Awesome answer! Thanks! Report Abuse

Why is Pitts property tax so high? How come people say that Pennsylvania has really affordable houses? I really need an advice about where I should buy a NICE house. We are moving to Pittsburgh soon and I'm looking for an easy commute to UPMC Shadyside but also a good school district and close to shopping and highways.|||The property taxes are high throughout the county. There are a great many old people here who do not work any longer so wage tax revenue's aren't what they are in other places.
The cost of houses in Pittsburgh tends to be less than most places in the country. A standard 3 bedroom house in a nice neighborhood will rarely exceed $150,000. Where the housing market gets interesting is what you can buy if you are able to spend more. 200k or 250k can get you a house in Pittsburgh that would cost 500k or more elsewhere.
If you aren't familiar with the landscape in Pittsburgh, you'll find many distinct neighborhoods. Its pretty confusing actually - a mailing address of "Pittsburgh, PA" does not necessarily mean you are within city limits. The city proper is quite small - only like 350,000 residents actually reside within official city limits. Within the city itself, you could be right by work if you lived in Shadyside or Squirrel Hill - both are excellent city neighborhoods. Greenfield is close and is calm and quiet. Certain parts of Edgewood or Swissvale (east of town) will provide a reasonable neighborhood and a short commute. All city residents unfortunately pay a 3% wage tax.
Pretty much as soon as you cross a river you are likely to be in a neighboring municipality. The wage taxes there will almost certainly be 1%.
If you chose a suburb, I strongly suggest one north of the city. Traffic is a million times better with no tunnels to go through. 279 north gets a bit backed up at rush hour of course, but overall the north hills has excellent traffic flow the rest of the day.
The best shopping area in the area is McKnight Road. The premire mall of the city is there (Ross Park) and pretty much any other store you can think of has a storefront along McKnight Road. This is in the north hills
North Hills, Shaler, and Fox Chapel are 3 school districts that border the northern side of the city. Each offers a drive of fewer than 20 minutes into town (a bit more with rush hour traffic) and a completely suburban lifestyle. Shaler and North Hills are middle of the road school districts. If the child is smart and on the ball, he or she can do quite well at either place. (I attended Shaler). Fox Chapel is one of the area's best districts. Two more districts are south of the city - Mount Lebanon and Upper Saint Clair are both in the south hills but are excellent schools.
The north hills (don't confuse the 'north hills' general area with North Hills the specific school district) with access to 279 is my recommendation. For reference, I grew up in the north hills, and have lived in the city and the south hills.
Good luck!
With this drink tax, I dont feel like going anywhere where they "pour" the alcohol. Also, it's more economical to start buying bottles now throughout the year, than one lump some the day of, hence the BYOB location.

Going out with my husband and another couple this Saturday night in Pittsburgh. We range in age from 27 to 33. We LOVE cheap drink specials (yeah, so we're cheap, so what?). I've never been to the South Side, but my friends aren't fans. Suggestions?|||It may have beer specials early but call to confirm. Go to the Penn Brewery which has good food and great beer. Then head out to clubs.|||There's a lot of dive bars on the south side, all with cheap drink specials, but if you want to pay just a little more try the new Hofbrauhaus. A liter of Beer is about $7, and food prices are not bad either. We've been there a few times, it's a lot of fun, live music, nice outside biergarten, ...|||country fans??
Saddle Ridge ~Station Square (ride the bull)
If not, do you think they will stay in Pittsburgh??|||The Pirates will definitely be improved this year. However, even expecting a modest improvement, they probably will not reach .500. I expect them to improve by about ten games and that would leave them with a 78-84 record. They'll be better, but it's going to take time. As far as staying in Pittsburgh is concerned, there is no danger in them leaving. Why leave when you have one of the most beautiful ball parks in MLB and you are making a profit (from revenue sharing)?|||My prediction 55-107. Doesn't mean much cause I thought Cleveland would win the World Series at the beginning of last year. Picking the Tigers this year. Maybe they will win 65 since I predicted 55.|||No. I think they will finish only above Houston, and even that might be optimistic. They'll be bad, even compared to the other bad teams in the division.
But they will *definitely* stay in Pittsburgh. Nothing to worry about there.
----------
Dude, PNC is the best park in the majors. That team isn't going anywhere.|||I'm concerned they may have another sub .500 year. I used to live out there and the new park is awesome. Since they got rid of Bonds and Bonilla they haven't had much as a collective team (individual talents, yes), but they are fun to watch and they epitomize what baseball is about - playing hard versus getting big contracts and buying championships. I hope they don't move, but they've been talking about that for years. I'm afriad if they get a few stars, they can't aford to keep them. Go Pirates!|||Why will they stay in Pittsburgh, maybe because the Pirates posted a $20 million dollar profit last season. They are out of contention for playoffs early, but manage to sell out every game. Truly amazing!!!!! As a lifelong Pirate fan it is agonizing to watch them play. But as I am often told baseball is a business, & the Pirates are profitable. Why the hell would they move???
In Pittsburgh, the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates all wear black and gold. Are there any other cities with major sports teams, that all wear the same colors?|||Yes, Pittsburgh is the only city. There was actually a hockey team called the Pittsburgh Pirates that wore black and gold. That's why the Penguins were permitted to change their colors from blue and white to black and gold.|||No Pittsburgh is the only city. The first team to wear Black and Gold was actually the Boston Bruins.
Pittsburghers truly bleed black and gold. I love that the city has the same colors in all the pro sports!
My boyfriend is coming home for Christmas he is in the Army just graduated Basic Training and is now in his advanced individual training.

But i'm in college and I don't have a lot of money does anyone know where i could get cheap tickets but good seats?|||Hi,
Your best bet is to go to a site like ZebraTickets. ZebraTickets scours the web and brings all the deals from every reseller together on one page. So you save a lot of time, see a lot of choices, and can get the best deal. You can see all the Steelers tickets at http://www.zebratickets.com/sports/Pitts鈥?/a>|||There is no such thing as cheap tickets for good seats.|||Depends on your perception of cheap. Get in touch with the Steelers ticket offices ASAP or you could also try stubhub.com, craigslist.org (pretty sure they have a local site for Pittsbrugh PA) or even ebay but have a general idea of where you want to sit and are able to spend first ..|||Steeler tickets are near impossible to obtain let alone cheaply. If your boyfriend is in the Army it would be beneficial to contact the Steeler office directly. Most likely they will make you prove that he is in the armed services, that would be your only chance at getting tickets for him. They have been sold out every game for over 30 years.
I would be very careful purchasing through an internet site, there are a large amount of counterfeit tickets out there.|||Really it's B.S. what they charge for seats to a single game, but i would say if u could find a person at the game (last second) who needed to get rid of their ticket, then may-be you'll get some discount. or what i did i waited and watched a ticket to the red sox's on eBay.com i waited on one until 1 min. left till it sold i got it for $55 not bad. This usually never happens I feel lucky as ****. well good luck.

There are little brown mud things hanging from my floor joist and flying ants around the light above my washer, are these termites? The one guy I called said $1000-$1500 to treat it. My neighbor had them and he called that big company and he paid big bucks and still has them. I live in the Pittsburgh area who should I call? Can I treat them myself?|||Go with a name you can trust and will guarantee their service.
Someone like Terminex. It'll probably be a little more expensive, but you can be sure they get rid of the bugs.|||I'm using a local company with good referrals. I think Thomas B. had a good answer. I used the guy I found in the Myspace classifieds, Thanks me1965. (Horrible answer EKO, national companies suck.) Report Abuse

I used a guy my wife found in the myspace classifieds. I haven't had a problem since. Very happy with the service and price.|||I would use a large company with guarantees so that in the future you can get them back out to complete the job, it will take many trips over the yrs. to make sure they don't come back, they even have pay plans like a bank loan.|||Tough one... Big companies will have money to back damages, that's if you are buying a termite guarantee, which is basically like a termite insurance policy. But, I have worked with the two biggest companies and personally I think you get better service at other locations.
Look for BBB reports, and a termidor certificate.|||Call a good national company that guarantees their work before you lose your foundation|||i bet the flying things are flying ants not termites. your washer is in the garage and the light is not yellow but a standard lightbulb?????? the bug is possible reddish color with wings, the wings are not even but different sized from back compared to front. i thought the same thing til i went online and investigated. i went into google.com and typed in the difference between termites and flying ants. one bug has a body that is sectioned with 2 or 3 seperate sections the other does not. change the light bulb, they go away. brown mud thing sound like mud dobbers. get rid of the mud.

Anytime you see signs that say "ABX" on them, that means filming for Abduction is there. It's the coding for the film.

Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions
Things You'll Need
Portfolio
Resume
1
Consider your education. In a competitive marketplace, businesses have more than enough candidates to choose from with at least a Bachelors degree. You would be hard pressed to find a position in marketing without a basic BA degree. Reputable schools can be found in most cities and a Bachelors degree will pay for itself over and over.
2
Volunteer or intern during your summer vacation or the first few months out of school. You will gain invaluable experience and work history for your resume.
3
Polish your resume, highlighting any practical experience and marketing specific classes you have taken. In lieu of practical experience, refer to the class projects, volunteer programs and marketing plans you completed in class.
4
Create a portfolio of your best college and paid work. Highlight the best writing samples, mock advertisements, research projects and collateral materials you worked on. Lean heavily towards the area you want to consider. For example, show several copywriting pieces if you would like to get into a professional writing position. Alternately, choose advertisements you have designed if you would like a graphic arts position.
5
Take advantage of the alumni connections from your college or university. Are there any alumni working at a firm you'd like to work at? Would any of them grant you an informational interview? Utilize the placement office as well who will have plenty of information on interviewing, your job search and hiring firms.
6
Search out a small firm which is an excellent jumping off point early in your career. You'll be a big fish in a little pond which gives you lots of experience on a variety of projects. You will wear many hats so your resume will fill quickly.
7
Network, network, network. Collect contacts all throughout your career, not just when you are job hunting. Always have a business card on you and ask for others. Keep in touch on a regular basis. You will most likely run across the same people over and over again. Make friends with people both higher and lower than you on the food chain.
8
Continue your education. Marketing never stays static. Go to seminars or conferences to determine new avenues of marketing and to discuss trends. Learn computer programs as they change and evolve.

I am a senior in High school and I have been excepted to The Arts Institute of Pittsburgh for Photography and I have heard some negative things about the The Arts Institutes, so is this a good a song to attend, or is it a fraud? I would love to attend to this school. But some of the things I have heard, worry me. So could you please give me some positive and some negative answers. Thank You.|||Seriously, and I"m sure that you're very talented, but just about anyone can get accepted into the 'art institute' as it is one of those private overpriced for-profit tech schools. Please listen to the negative reviews of the school (and 'fashion institute of technology' and 'fashion institute of design'). There are quite a few negative posts by former students at these consumer sites:
http://www.ripoffreport.com
http://www.pissedconsumer.com
http://www.complaintsboard.com and can type into search.
Even those with a college (four-year) degree from an accredited program in art and design may have difficulty find work, but here is a site with accredited programs in the field: http://nasad.arts-accredit.org and can click "member lists" on the left-hand side of the page.
For US colleges: http://www.utexas.edu/world/univ
General career information: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'photographers' or such.|||Don't waste your time/money on The Art Institutes. They're a debt trap.
They're an elaborate corporate scam to funnel as many Government Pell grants and guaranteed loans out of students as they can and leave the students with the bill.
If its one of the Art Institutes run by EDMC, avoid them like a plague.
They're like McDonald's of Art "Colleges". They're a chain that is popping up everywhere. They buy out dying schools, rename them, keep the accreditation.
They may seem like they would be good, but it is all smoke and mirrors. Pretty building with pretty computers. Meanwhile, it will just ruin your life.
The market demand they say they're meeting is not the demand of the Job market, its the demand of the students. Students that graduated AI are struggling to get jobs and have over more than $50,000+ or $90,000+ in debt depending on what degree they went for. Degrees that are worthless in the job market.
Basically, AI is a degree mill. They use bloated success stats and circle logic to back them up.
They count students working at Toys R Us as in the field. Avoid them if you want to actually have a decent future.
If you really want to pursue your passion, go to a community college, study fine art, and then transfer into a state school. It will be cheaper and the money you save you can buy your own equipment and STILL have money left over for a better future.
Their job leads are bogus, they go to Monster, Craigslist, and career builder just like everyone else. Their top employer is HOME DEPOT (Check their own website) and I guarantee none of those are art jobs.
Don't make the same mistake my friends and I did. We'll be paying for it for the rest of our lives.
If you go with AI you'll be folding clothes at Target or hawking video games at Toys R Us for $8.25 an hour and struggling to pay $90,000 with bill collectors haunting your every waking moment with no way to stop them because there is no bankruptcy protection on Student loans.

We here in Pittsburgh have already been through all that and now we love him again. He is our QB and the greatest in the league. Other NFL fans can hate on him all they want but he's our guy.
Roethlisberger is the man!|||Roethlisberger may have the strongest arm in the league, though McNabb can throw the ball 60+ yards easily in the air, but he is not the best. Peyton Manning can read and dissect a defense, calls 90% of the plays, has the best usage of not only audibles, but the hurry up offense which he runs 45+ minutes of each game and rarely huddles. The Colts aren't my favorite team and Manning isn't my favorite player, but I have to give Manning the best QB title because he is the epitomy of that position, composure (Big Ben has proven many times he lacks composure), physical and mental toughness, accuracy and finesse as well as arm strength. If this was the first accusation against Roethlisberger I would say that it could be a fluke or a fan wanting money, but there are only so many times rape can be called before it seems as if it is a habit and that he is guilty. I don't care if the Steelers fans welcome him back or not, I am just basically saying he isn't the best QB as you have stated.|||Hey. Its okay to treat women like crap.

And I have seen nothing that has redeemed him of that yet. And my opinion is that he can not redeem himself of the disrespect that he showed these women on the gridiron. To me, it seems that there are some that think throwing touchdown passes...and getting paid multimillion's of dollars for doing it...is adequate restitution for the taking advantage of two women sexually. I am not in that camp. After he has redeemed himself to his victims...then it could all be good again...but those two women, and nobody else...have to make the call as to whether the scale is balanced.

Nice job Pennsylvania letting 4 high school team trash your NFL football stadium field the weekend before a nationally televised Monday night football game. Good job. Nothing like watching NFL football on a field that is a total disaster and better suited for a Playboy Playmate mud wrestling match. Another classless act by the Pittsburgh Steelers organization.|||Well, I would have to say the Pittsburgh Steeler football field since it has actually had a meaningful effect on something. All Hillary has ever done is remind any man who has ever been divorced of his screeching ex-wife.
If Hillary ever got any kind of power, however, it would be a disaster on a par with the earth colliding with a rogue black hole. Certainly much worse than Heinz Field!|||Hillary|||both but the Steelers only suck in one place Hillary is a traveling show of sucking.
but I don't get that letting them play wasn't classy.
They just didn't plan, or couldn't because of the weather.
Pissubrgh still sucks and so does Hillary|||i thought you were ranting about g.w.b. there for a second, or was it bill oral'ly.|||Why are you so bitter and angry about it? LOL
Oh, I get it....you're either a Bungle or Stains fan. Sucks to be you! :)|||Hillary, the football field CAN be fixed.|||hilary....lol|||I'll say Hillary is the bigger disaster of the 2 since I don't care about politics.|||It was a mess wasn't it. Some real good thinking went into that decision.|||Actually, I think that letting high school teams play in your stadium as well as a college team is pretty classy. Think about how excited those kids were. The issue was the rain, and how they need to put some sort of artificial field down in Pitt. Classless would have been to say that the kids can't play because of the weather report.|||It's a tradition for the high school football teams to play in the stadium. It's a really big deal to get that far, so I doubt the Steelers organization would say "Well we are big shot NFL players and you all look up to us, but sorry you can't play here even though it means a lot to you."
Plus, that is actually pretty selfish of you to say. Sorry that YOU had to watch a game on TV with a bad field. You didn't have to play on it... so I don't understand why you were so upset about it??
I think its a little bit far fetched to say it was a "classless act."|||Hillary; at least the field was interesting; They both had a lot of balls that stuck in them, though.|||Not that I'm a Steelers fan but the weather did play a big part in this as well.|||Okay....is this all you have in your brain?
What kind of football do you like? Pansy 80 degree weather all season long?
And it's really too bad you can't vote for George again. He's doing such a great job.|||The field was a mess, I agree ... BUT
It is a very big deal to those high-school kids to play in Heinz Field. Give credit to the Steelers and the City of Pittsburgh for allowing their mega-gazillion-dollar facility to actually be USED as a sports venue, rather than reserving it for the sake of prettiness on national TV.
Not sure why you would call the Pittsburgh Steelers a "classless" organization. And very classless on your part regarding that crack about Hillary. She has more balls than you ever will.|||they both are lol...

I found a house in Monroeville just outside of Pittsburgh, PA that has been completely renovated from the Top to the bottom. Everything is brand new - roof, kitchen, bathrooms, windows, etc..
The only problem is that there is no basement. Is it a wise decision to purchase a home on a slab foundation in Monroeville?I do not plan on living in this property for the rest of my life and I have a small child. I am not sure if this will hurt the resale value. Thanks|||If something is too far out of the NORM for an area, stay away from it! It will slow down your resale when its time to sell!!
Think about it, you came on this board to pose the question to the Rabble? That answers your own question, you had to stop and think about it!!
Lacking a basement is not like changing a roof, it is waaaay too expensive a correction to make to get it in line with what is typical for an area! (Incurable Obsolescence)|||Personally, a basement is the first thing I look for in a listing. If there is no basement, I move on to the next listing. A basement is free room to grow. Finishing a basement is A LOT cheaper than putting an addition on a home. But, there are plenty of people who are not concerned if they have a basement.
Lets say the vikings moved to Pittsburgh and became the Maulers and shared Heinz field with the Steelers. Do you think that after a while they would have fan support?|||No way.
I have been to PA with my dad for his buisness trip once. During football season. Wow, the locals are INSANLEY obsessed with the Steelers. I think they wouldn't support a second NFL team. They seem to in love with the Steelers. Support is good I guess.|||Steeler fans are the ultimate untested, fair weather band wagon fans.
Unlike all other team in pro football, the Steeler fans have never had to prove their loyalty in tough times because there haven't been tough times in 40 years. The absolute worst the Steelers have done is 6-10 in 1988. That was a long time ago and if 6-10 is your idea of a disastrous season, then you have no clue and you need to have a serious talk with a Bengals, Lions, or Bill fan.
Sure, even though Pittsburgh is one of the smallest markets, they could support two teams - as long as the Maulers won. However, if the Maulers lost and lost a lot, Pittsburgh fans would stay away in droves. They don't know how to lose is Pittsburgh. Look at their support for the Pirates. I suspect that they are really the worst fans in football because they have never had to prove their worth as fans and frankly, I bet most of them are simply along for the easy ride and the reflected glory.
Until the day comes that Steelers "fans" stick by their team through prolonged tough times, then they are the worst bandwagon fans in existance to me.|||No. The Steelers seem to be the dominant team in PA, along with the Eagles. I don't think fans would flock to see another team in the same area, because it seems to me the team has been and is successful. Fans are loyal to their base, and I think the majority of football fans in Pittsburgh are loyal to the Steelers. Do you really think that fans would support another team just after the Steelers were in the super bowl? I don't think so. Also, I don't think the Steelers would share a field with anyone. Sharing the field with another team isn't exactly the best thing. Why would the Steelers of all franchises share their legendary field with another team? I just can't see it.|||Wow do you really like Heinz could possibly support that? They'd be stuck on astroturf if they tried, they already have Pitt playing there as well as the Steelers. No Pittsburgh wouldn't support them. The ONLY reason that New York has two teams is because the one is an original AFL Franchise as well. the NFL wouldn't put them both there like that, let alone see both actually have a following the way they do.|||I don't think so. Few cities could support two teams really. Sure, New York can, but there are over 20 million people in the metro area. Pittsburgh? 2.5. There just isn't the population. Plus, the Steelers would always over-shadow any other team.|||They have the amount of people to do so, HOWEVER there is not a chance it would survive or be accepted by Steelers fans. We live and die as Steelers fans, period.|||It would be like the Lakers and Clippers. One team has great history and wins and the other is horrid and has no fan support becuase of the other team always contending|||hmmm...I would prob say no. Because I think because they've been so dominant, and have such a big fan-base, it would be very hard to have another team. . .|||No. Pittsburgh is Steeler Country. Period.|||No they couldn't support two teams. Only New York and maybe Los Angeles could support two teams|||Thats steeler nation ! The fans would eat up the vikings ! We are crazy bout our team !

I just realized that the 1972 Dolphins, who went 14-0 during the regular season, had to play the AFC Championship game *in* Pittsburgh--who were 11-3 that season. Why weren't the Dolphins the top-seeded team? Did they have different rules for determining home-field back then?|||In that era, there was no such thing as "homefield advantage", the home team was determined by who's turn it was to host the game. During that time under the rotation system, whomever hosted the wild-card team in the divisional playoff (as determined by rotation, not W-L record) was guaranteed to play on the road in the conference championship game. The winner of the game between the other two division champs was guaranteed to host the conference championship.|||I think the Dolphins were 13-0 during the regular season; why would they only play 2 playoff games?
In any case i have no answer for this other than weather.|||Back then the site of the conference championship games rotated from division to division, and that year was the Central division's turn. They didn't decide it by the won loss records.|||bencas99 is 100% correct..the rules were stupid back then|||Wow. I guess I just totally forgot about this one.|||Yes, back then they had some ridiculous rule, but I forget what it was.|||Because they rotated the home field back then so there would be less of an advantage

The owner's name (if you want to ask to sound important is Kevin Joyce).
why did Pittsburgh develop into an early center of U.S. steel production? What are the raw materials and human factors that influence the locations of steelmaking?|||The three basic ingredients in making steel are coal (to make coke), iron ore and limestone. Western PA has local coal and limestone. Iron ore was easy to ship via the Great Lakes and then train to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh also has a good location and good transportation (Ohio River) and it used to have the labor force to do the job.
The most important human factor was Andrew Carnegie. He built Pittsburgh's Carnegie Steel Company, which was later merged with Elbert H. Gary's Federal Steel Company and several smaller companies to create U.S. Steel.

there was some bangin' goin on tonight... especially by Kunitz... do you think his line will get more room in game 7?
Also... is cycling and passing behind the net and cutting across the slot the best way to beat the wing lock in Pittsburgh's case?... or can the D contribute to the offense? ... it is a game 7.
thoughts?|||I think in Pittsburgh's case the dump, chase, and cycle has been by far their most effective game plan. As long as they continue to win some of the races to the corners, they will be able to generate chances. However, I have noticed that if they try throwing the puck directly to the front of the net off the cycle, there is typically a Wing just waiting for eat. keep feeding the slots in the cycle and they will continue to get opportunities.
Unfortunately, it seems that the best bet is to keep the D at home and sometimes maybe let them pinch along the boards but drop another winger back in his place. The Wings are so quick to turn a mistake into a rush, you simply cant afford to risk the odd man rushes b/c of the D trying to get too aggressive.|||no|||Pitts just needs to keep paying the refs to look the other way in order for them to win game 7.

If you move slightly out of the city, the price goes down-- a little. One bedrooms can be found for 400-550, and two bedrooms can be found for 600-800.
Obviously, you can get luxury apartments downtown for a lot more-- but a good estimate is 600 for a decent 1 bedroom, 800 for a decent 2 bedroom.
Good luck!|||about 190- 310 a month|||could always check on craigslist -- brb -- http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/apa/|||This is a handy website that offers rental info on areas. It is similar to Zillow.com.

Its like a half hour or forty minutes away from Pittsburgh. They have like 100 tvs with flat screens at every table and usually for a game you would probably want to get there like an hour or so before because it fills up quickly.|||Permanti Brothers is the place to be during a Pens games.

My wife and I are debating on whether to expose our daughter, 2yrs old, to the modeling world. We live in the Pittsburgh area and have only ever heard of The Talent Group as a modeling agency. Has anyone had experience with them?|||Rather a coincidence, but, I found your post while also looking into modeling for my 8 yr old son in Pittsburgh. So far, I have found nothing negative as of yet about The Talent Group.
I have found a lot of negative reports on John Casablanca.
I hope someone with experience with The Talent Group responds, as I am curious also.
I checked with BBB and they do have an A rating with no complaints in 3 years, but, they are not BBB accredited.|||There are only 2 legitimate modeling agencies in Pittsburgh: The Talent Group and Docherty. Anything else you will find will either be a modeling school, modeling classes, or something that will cost you a great deal of money. You have to beware of scams like John Casablanca's, Model Search America, and other things that are just teaching girls to do makeup & take pictures.
That being said, The Talent Group standards are brutal. It's not a kind industry, and I found people at both agencies that I thought were very intense. I was a teenage model, and was 5'8 and 108 pounds. I was 10 pounds under the healthy BMI limit - and The Talent Group told me I was too heavy. They did sign me, but insisted I get new photographs taken to make myself look less heavy. At the same time, teachers of mine were worried that I had an eating disorder. So I do believe The Talent Group has a distorted view. I wasn't the only person who had this experience with them. I met other girls who were overly criticized too.
Docherty I only worked with as a boutique owner, and not as a model. They had some beautiful models, very diverse. I enjoyed working with them, although they did not follow up & give me the photo's that they were to give me for advertising purposes. I lent them clothes for the shoot. I contacted them, but never got my photos or heard from them again. So I don't have much to say for their work ethic, but I can't say anything bad about the standard of models there. I hear more about Docherty in the industry than I do The Talent Group, so that is where I would start first. I think they book more jobs. My sister took her 3 year old son there, but because he was too hyper, he was turned down. At 5 years old, she sent in more photos but was turned down via letter in the mail. It's a tough agency to get into, so don't get discouraged if it doesn't go the way you hope.
Child modeling is obviously very different, and hopefully less critical, than teenage modeling was. I would send a few photos to both agencies & see what kind of feedback you receive. If they like the photos, they will call you in for an interview with your daughter. Once you meet them, you can think about what kinds of vibes you got from both places & make the decision that's best for your daughter. Best of luck =-)

my mother has a brain aneurysm.
she needs to take a minimally invasive surgery at a pittsburgh, UPMC Presbyterian hospital.

how can she go to USA and take this procedure? What do we need to go through in order for her to take this? Where do we go?
could you please explain to us the steps in detail?
thank you.|||I assume she has a passport??? From what country? From a lot of countries, you don't even need a visa. From many countries, it's no problem to get a visa. Even if she is Indian or something like that, your mother can show strong ties to Canada, and an intention to return to Canada, so she should probably be able to get a visa. She'll have to be honest about why she is going, and be able to show how the procedure will be paid for. She can't stick the hospital or the American tax payers with the bill. She won't get the visa if immigration thinks that she will try to run out on the bill.

I highly recommend this park, I have visited the park twice so far this year and have had a blast each visit.|||If you do decide to goto Kennywood, make sure you head to Giant Eagle just up the road, they give, I believe, $10 off admission.

I just bought a house, and am planning on buying a few more for investment purposes. I may sit on them a while, buy when the market is bad, sell when values go up, etc. My question, is how do the taxes work. I know there is a property tax and a school tax. I think school tax is 1% of your income, and property tax is like 3% of the houses value. My question, if I own 5 houses, do I have to give 5% of my income to school taxes? Would that make it impossible for anyone to own more than 100 houses? If you're only supposed to pay taxes to the school district that you actually live in, should I get my money back for currently paying for two districts? The house I just bought is in Pittsburgh, PA, and the place I'm actually living is in Westmoreland, co.
Please explain how the taxes work, maybe I'm wrong the parts I think I know. Thanks.|||buy each house though its own separate corporation. and since you are going to make such a large investment get your self a good accountant to help you through all the questions, forms, and red tape. good luck.|||The property tax you would pay is based on the value of the property - not your income.|||In Pittsburgh you pay a city income tax on your income, and much of that is for the schools. This is separate, though, from property taxes, some of which also is for schools. So no, your city income tax won't change no matter how many houses you own, but you'll have to pay property taxes on each house.
If you live in Westmoreland county, you don't have to pay city income taxes to Pittsburgh, you'll just pay the 1% wage tax to your municipality or township. But you will have to pay the property taxes on each house you own in the city of Pittsburgh. And those are not a straight percentage of what you pay for the houses, the tax is based on their assessed value.|||The City of Pittsburgh has a 1% wage tax and a 2% school tax. If you live and work in Pittsburgh then the total tax you will pay to the City is 3% of your PGH taxable income.
But if you do not live in Pittsburgh you do not pay the 2% school tax, you only pay the 1% wage tax. Any you only pay that once.
The expenses you face from property ownership are of course the Allegheny County property taxes, assessed on each property.

Pittsburgh can handle this type of weather, remember the dolphin game?|||Think your Steelers will be better prepared for the game because of their regular experience in playing in the cold.
However, as everyone knows, you have to be able to run the ball effectively in those conditions. And hasn't Willie Parker struggled a bit with handling the ball in recent weeks?
Despite that, I reckon Pittsburgh will be better prepared. They've played in a mudbath in consecutive weeks. What's a bit of snow?|||low scoring and won't allow either team to play their best.|||It will be a defensive game with plenty of running the ball.|||Right now Pittsburgh is lossing at home so that is one effect|||All I've gotta say is that it can't be worse than the Dolphins game...if the Steelers can pull a W out of that game, this kind of weather should have little to no effect on them...Jacksonville on the other hand...well, they're not used to this kind of weather and might freeze up in the first half...|||Making excuses already for why the steelers will lose, Ashley? :) I'm just kidding. If anything I think it gives the Steelers the edge, they should be used to it and the Jags definitely aren't, Its 76 and sunny here in FL today, and that is what they are used to. If anything it will slow both teams down and it will be a low scoring game, but I still think Pittsburgh will come out with the win.
*Edit: aw I'm sorry Ashley it looks like the opposite of what I thought is happening.

The Chicago Cubs have won the first 2 games in the series with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and both games went into extra innings. Tonight is game #3 and get away day for the Chicago Cubs, but do you think the Chicago Cubs will sweep the Pittsburgh Pirates and why? And do you think the game will go to extra innings and why? I am going to say no that they will not sweep the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Cubs don't like to sweep teams, and I predict the Pirates to win tonight.|||yes. they have the momentum. it will not go to extra innings, for the exact same reason.
but it will sure be fun if it went to game five and a whole lot of extra innings.|||I think that they will. The Cubs of old never came back and fought for a win after the 6th inning. If they didn't post a lot of early runs, it was over. Two nights in a row, they fought their asses off for a win, so you can bet that today, they want it to end in nine. In theory, they have already won 3 games. They've played 27 innings in two games. That's gotta hurt when you aren't planning ahead for a doubleheader.|||In the battle for the worst team in baseball its a pretty even match up.|||Yes. Payback for making them work overtime the last two games.|||I hate to go against my own team, but I think the Cubs will sweep them. Number one, the Bucs are starting Matt Morris and he has been utterly terrible this Spring and ever since the got him as a matter of fact. Secondly, Aramis Ramirez has killed his old team almost every time he's played against them and has done it this series. The Pirates just are not playing well yet and recent history shows they are a slow starting team every year. It breaks my heart, but got to tell the truth.|||ok I am going to buck conventional wisdom and say no, the Cubs will not sweep. The Buccos will somehow manage to pull it off. How I don't know but they will.|||no it took them 27 innings to win 2 games .cubs bullpen is awful they may be the most over rated team this year pitching will be their downfall that and a lack of clutch hitting

Anywhere in the Pittsburgh metro area is fine (Homestead or Duquesne, for example).|||Well, based on what I hear from the news here(I don't live downtown, but still in the area) I would go with homestead. And within the city: the noth shore.
Also, mckeesport has a lot of crime.
How early should I get to the Lady Gaga concert at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh on Saturday, 2/26 with GA Ground tickets if I want to get a decent spot close to the stage/catwalk?

I applied to the University of Pittsburgh's engineering school back in early December. They run on a rollings admissions and it has been at least 10 weeks and I have not heard back from them. My friend who applied a week or two after to me, with a major in biology received her letter in the middle of January. What should I do? Should I just continue to wait? Or should I email the admissions office asking about my admissions decision?|||Go ahead and email them. A University isn't going to alter their decision just because you ask for the status. It might have been lost in the mail.|||Yes! email them. You might want to include in the email some brief info on how well your senior year is progressing, especially new information not on your application. Have you won an award?

I'm 16 and i plan on going December 26th to January 2nd (or maybe a later day in that week of January). Can somebody help me find a train or bus schedule that would coordinate with these dates or perhaps a *cheap* flight? Thanks! Oh and it doesn't have to be direct (there are no direct flights or trains from Pittsburgh usually)|||Here is the Greyhound (Bus) Lines schedule for the dates you specified. You will see that you have three options each for going to Montreal and returning to Pittsburgh.
http://www.greyhound.ca/ticketcenter/en/鈥?/a>
To reach Greyhound in Pittsburgh by phone dial 412-392-6526.|||You can take a bus for around $200 round trip. It would require stop overs and it would take quite a while but if the cost is most important that's probably cheapest. You would be travelling for probably 15 to 20 hours each way.
Look on greyhound.ca for the buses and you can select your details and book it etc. You get a discount for 21 days or longer advanced booking.
Looking on Amtrak.com shows that there is no service between your destinations on the dates desired. So I don't know that a train would be an option.
Taking a plane would save you quite a lot of time over a bus but would likely cost 3 times as much as a bus. Doing a quick search on expedia.com shows a plane trip on your days would be close to $700.
The absolute cheapest way ofcourse would be hitchhiking. But thats illegal and potentially very dangerous.|||Hello, i think the best way would be you go to new york first, and then fly from new york to montreal, or you fly from Pittsburgh to Toronto, and then to Montreal.It's about $500 for a return flight.

I am currently a senior in high school trying to decide between Fordham university and University of Pittsburgh. I want to do pre-med and I know the University of Pittsburgh is great for that. My only question is how efficient is the school in getting pre-med students into medical schools?|||Both greath Universities. I would personally recommend pittsburgh. Having interviewed at their medical school and been accepted, the school seems to be a great opportunity regardless of one's goals. The fact that Pitt has a medical school is a great opportunity for you to make connections with the medical community through research and volunteering. This will be an enormous asset when you are applying to Pitt.
Here are some tips from my blog
1) Has a research program that is large enough to sustain undergraduate participation.
Look for schools that have undergraduate thesis projects, undergraduate fellowship positions, etc. A school with Research 1 designation is great, because that means there are tons of research projects going on. If you never publish or present a paper, that's fine. However, doing so can be a major boost, especially if you are author or co-author, or even 29th author of a paper that makes it into a major journal like Nature. It does not necessarily have to be medically related research, but I would recommend it if you are contemplating MD/PhD.
2) A moderately well known school.
I personally would recommend limiting your choices to one of the top 200 or so schools. You want a school that has had a decent number of pre-meds, because this increases the chances of an admissions committee knowing something about the opportunities available at your school. It also increases your chances of getting good advising from a pre-med office. I am a member of the faction that believes that prestige is not a significant factor in the admissions process. Having gone to a public school that isn't even ranked in the Top 100, I have interviewed at a number of the Top 20, 10, and 5 schools. I personally believe that your own merits outweigh the name of your school significantly. This is not to say that I believe a 3.5 is the same as one school than another. Admissions committees often have "experts" on a given school, or look at statistics like the average GPA and MCAT score of pre-meds in past years. Thus, a 3.5 at Princeton might be more impressive than a 3.5 at John Doe public school, simply because the average GPA and MCAT score at Princeton is a 3.5/33, and a 3.5/28 at John Doe. Clearly, it was harder to earn a 3.5 and 33 at Princeton than a 3.5 and 33 at John Doe (though, the equal MCAT scores would somewhat minimize this). Suffice it to say that a 3.5 and 28 at Harvard isn't going to beat out a 3.8 and 31 at John Doe, all other things being equal. This being said, I feel that opportunities at the more prestigious undergrad schools outside of academics are excellent. However, I feel that any big public school like OSU, ASU, etc will have similar opportunities by virtue of their sheer size. Any school that made it in the top 200 should have enough of everything for you to succeed if you are good enough. If you are good enough at one place, you are good enough anywhere, so long as you aren't handicapped.
3) A School with a medical school or that is near one.
The inside man always has an advantage. If you went to Harvard College, you will have a stronger shot at Harvard Med. This is because you have three years to build relationships with the medical school, do research under doctors affiliated (and thus get letters) with the school, and become an expert on that school. The opportunity to work with doctors at any medical school probably increases your chances everywhere. There is always the chance that they will be recognized, and its a great way to get insight in academic medicine.
4) Go to a school near a reasonably sized city.
Cities have a lot going for them by virtue of their huge populations. There are all sorts of activities available in research, community service, and just fun things that will make you a more well rounded and interesting person. Being near a city means you will also be near at least a few good hospitals or clinics. This saves you on travel time and ease of access, as it is likely students from your school have already built connections with nearby schools.|||Well, I couldn't tell you about Fordham, but I will simply point out that thanks to UPMC, Pittsburgh has one of the best med schools in the country, and it is very difficult to get in. But they are definitely a little more likely to let you in if your pre-med degree is from Pitt.
Every other American city did but Pittsburgh. Does that mean the city supported the Nazis or why else would they keep the H?|||The primary reason for the H on Pittsburgh is due to the large amount of Dutch (Germans) in the region when Pennsylvania was founded. And Pennsylvania still has plenty of "Pennsylvania Dutch" or Amish people living in the region. It's a tribute to the city's roots, not a any sort of Nazi intentions my goodness. Why would we choose to deny our heritage? When Pittsburgh was founded, such a concept as Nazism wouldn't even be founded for another 150 years. Pittsburgh was one of our country's most important cities during WWII as it was responsible for the majority of steel production in the entire United States. At one point during the war, the city of Pittsburgh was outputting more steel than the entire nation of Germany.
And aside from all of that, Pittsburgh had and still has a very large and thriving Jewish community. Not only are you drawing lines that should not be drawn. You are drawing lines between concepts that aren't even based in fact. Please do a bit more research before you throw around terms like Nazism.|||because they wanted to keep their name as Pittsburgh. If you have an H in your name is does not mean you support hitler.|||Every other American city did huh? Ok, so I guess Plattsburgh, NY doesn't count then. It's only been a city since 1902, long before WWII began.
I've seen multiple rappers and musicians (like Snoop Dog and various other artists) wear pittsburgh pirate hats and i think it's kinda weird. Most of them aren't from pittsburgh and as a person from pittsburgh I really think it's retarded because the pirates suck.|||Snoop Dogg has an obsession with the Steelers and that has carried over to just Pittsburgh sports in general. Another rapper you might have seen is Nelly, he actually tried out to be a Pirate, but choose rapping instead and pays homage to the Pirates in that way.
If you have anyone in particular they normally have some ties to Pittsburgh.
Plus the Pirates might suck now but Pittsburgh has a history of great sports and since we are one of the only cities who has all of their sports teams in the same colors people who are fans of one team normally by paraphernalia of other teams as well.
And Pittsburghers have a way of turning people into Pittsburgh sports teams, I mean we have a Steelers Hooters in LA and a Pittsburgh sports bar in Rome, Italy.|||But have you ever noticed how crazy those steeler fans are? Last time I was home in the summer, I tripped on how many peeps had Steeler Tattoos all over their body. WTF? I can't comprehend it, sorry I dont have your answer. I have PA love and I am in Sunny CA.|||probably because the yellow and black is pretty bad@ss. its more about the hat then the team.
And would you consider it an upset or a surprise if the Pittsburgh Steelers made it to the Super Bowl?|||Yeah, I always feel that even when they're on top they are still the underdog, but you know what, that's how we like our black and gold. We are loyal fans and all the doubters in the world manage to get surprised all of the time by the greatness which is The Pittsburgh Steelers.
Look at the payroll we have compared to the "powerhouse" teams, this is an amazing, family run organization.|||No and they won't. don't worry buddy. the low opinion is right.|||Ummmm, no. Overrated. But compared to the other teams in their division, theyre great!!!!!!!|||No. Most people who follow football recognize that after the Pats and Colts there are a few other solid teams like the Chargers and Steelers. The most underrated team in the AFC would be someone more like Cleveland, Jacksonville, or Tennessee.|||no, the steelers are not the most underrated team. the colts are they dont get the repsect they deserve even though they are the best team in the NFL. Hopefully people will recognize the colts greatness after they beat the patriots on sunday.|||no the giants are underrated. steelers will make it to the playoffs but DEFINATELY not the superbowl|||As a Steelers fan, I don't think they are underrated, in fact I think they are a bit overrated. You can't lose to a team like Arizona, and let a team like Denver drive on you late in a game like that. With the Colts and Pats playing like they are, it would definately be a shock if they went to the big show. GO STEELERS!|||No,the Titans and Jaguars are...bet you didn't even know they were both 5-2 just like the steelers, but you don't hear about them as much as the steelers...|||They might make the superbowl, but I don't think they are underrated. They are listed a one of the better teams in the AFC, but not as good as the Pats or the Colts, which is exactly what they are. They could win the whole thing, but at this point, they haven't shown they are better than the Colts or the Pats.|||no the patriots own all|||The Steelers suck. Their fans are a bunch of bandwagon jumpin douche bags.|||The Steelers are DEFINITELY the most underrated team in the AFC.
This is a team that's already beaten the Colts during the playoffs, in their own stadium.
And the last time the Patriots started the season with a long unbeaten streak, the Steelers ended it.
The Steelers can and will upset one of these teams in the AFC playoffs. Bank on it.|||well I have to say since they are in the divisions with the colts and pats, the attention does get taking away from them easily. I thought they were underrated going into the super bowl. Now, they are pretty good and will back it to the playoffs obviously.|||If they can somehow beat the patriots then i wiill believe you. They're not really amazing me.

|||To answer your second question first, I moved to Pittsburgh last year and I was also a bit shocked at the venom from Steelers fans as well. I had never had anything against the Steelers and actually enjoyed seeing them do well.
As for Eagles bars, Peter's Pub in Oakland (5th Ave. & Oakland Ave.) always shows the Eagles game and there are usually at least 50 to 100 Eagles fans in the bar, the majority of whom are college age.
Here's a site with a bunch of Pa. Eagles bars including three in Pittsburgh: http://home.comcast.net/~tdgryn/states/Pennsylvania.html. I live in Shadyside and I'm somewhat skeptical of the claim that William Penn Tavern is an Eagles bar, and doubt they'd even show an Eagles game if the Steelers were on at the same time. I've never been to the Sports Rock Cafe, so I can't comment on that one. I watched about 10 games at Peter's Pub last year, and although the undergrads can get obnoxious at times, it was nice to have a place that always showed the Eagles and was filled with fellow Eagles fans.|||Not gonna happen... Well, maybe you are not from America and not culturally literate. I will assume this and it would be best to heed this advice: Bad idea to even suggest watching an Eagles or any other team for that matter in Pittsburgh. Either go to Philly or watch at home. Really, this is honest advice for you.
We don't hate the Eagles any more or less than other teams... It's Pittsburgh, people with FIERCE loyalty and support to the Steelers. If there is any real rivalry, more so with the Browns...
BUT, the Philadelphia Philly's are definitely not well liked here (along with the Flyers).|||You Pittsburgh people think you're hardcore? Hahahahahahahaha.

It's one of the most progressive cities in the country when it comes to fighting global warming. It's always being voted the most liveable city in the country by various magazines. There are more different ethnic groups living in Pittsburgh than in New York. It has many of the important American universities. It has a very low cost of living. There's little crime in the populated sections. And on top of that, it's got more bridges than Venice. What's wrong with this city?|||It's PITTSburgh. Outside of the Steelers and the bad air in the city throughout most of the 1900's that is all anyone in America knows of this town.

Out of the major cities in Pennsylvania, I am sure Philly was the obvious choice, though they are SO different and far apart.
It is quite interesting to know that Pitts is one of the more progressive cities in fighting global warming...when the city used to be known for its industry...that was not environmental by any standards...maybe they are trying to clean up their act.

There is no way that the woman above saw the whole city in one day. Geographically speaking Pittsburgh is larger than San Fransisco. 56 square miles as compared to 47.
I can understand many reasons Pittsburgh wouldn't make the list. But it shouldn't be left off the list when places like Cincinnati are on it.
Pittsburgh is the 21st largest metro are in the country with over 2 million people - the city isn't as big as it used to be but it's not small.
The Steelers are a big deal here, there's no denying that. But they aren't what keeps the city going by any means. The largest industry here is healthcare with a huge sect of that being bio tech. Tourism is also a huge industry with over 10 million overnight visitors a year (that's comparable to Denver, CO)
I do not have an answer for you but I thought I'd offer a little more support to offset the naysayers.|||I've been to Pittsburgh more times than I care to admit. My sister lives there. She loves it. If it weren't for the Steelers, the Penguins and the Pirates, the town would fold.

Okay, I live in the Pittburgh area (Beaver County), but why does Pittsburgh not really get a good, healthy 6+ inches of snow during the winter for one storm? I noticed that we only get around 3 inches for one storm. Why? This storm now is really good, about 8 inches of snow going to fall here, but we barely ever get this much in the winter for one snowstorm.|||For the last 20 or so years there have been above average temperatures recorded in the NE America so there hasn't traditionally been much snow (within the last decade or so).
Combined with the fact that you do not live near a large enough water source (Lake Erie for example) to get the lake effect snow (which is commonly much more than normal) you resort to catching the end of a storm front that has picked up water from the great lakes.

Thanks! :)|||Pre-professional for a school that is affiliated with a ballet company is different that a studio's pre-professional program. It may be similar to a ballet academies pre-professional program. A pre-professional program that has an affiliate ballet company is looking for dancers to eventually be in their company. You would have to assume they would be looking for turnout, and feet and if you are older than 11 some degree of professional training. If you are 15 or 16 They would be looking for a finished dancer most likely. So, it would depend on your body, age and training.

But I'm not a hater, I've liked several rivals of the Birds, most notably the Giants. I respect the Steelers, Packers, and Redskins too.
As for the Pens, I really don't care one way or another. Until Philadelphia gets a hockey team that I can respect, I'll have a passing interest in some teams doing well - but not to the point of wearing their colors. Right now, it looks like the Devils are the team to beat in the East, but the years have shown that the top teams aren't guaranteed a spot in the SCF's.|||I don't really care about the Steelers. I don't dislike them but I haven't liked them since the Bradshaw days. My favorite football team is the Detroit Lions so the play offs are SO our of my realm of understanding. If they had played better, the Steelers would have made it.
You are right about my dislike of the Penguins, though.|||I'm a Pittsburgh Penguin fan, but I hate all you Squeeler fans. The Steeler fans are nothing more than bandwagon jumping, arrogant pricks. Not one Pittsburgh Steeler fan could ever tell me who Rico Fata is. As a Pens fan, when my team loses, it is cause they were outplayed not because of some call a ref did or didn't make. I don't boo Ovechkin because the rest of the NHL boos Crosby. I don't hate players because they don't put on a Penguin uniform.

I don't want to lose my job but I want to move out. I'm not sure if they will allow me to transfer. How will I move all of my stuff to Pittsburgh and keep my job?|||Start by asking about a job transfer. If you cannot transfer, you would need to make a trip to Pittsburgh to go job hunting. When you are ready to move, check with several moving truck rental companies, and choose one. You would need to give notice at your job,close your bank account, give notice to your landlord, ,pay off and stop utilities. See site below for list of things to review before moving.
I'm going to pittsburgh, pa for a conference next week. Was just curious if anyone had any recommendations of some neat or interesting places to visit|||= You can go in Pure
The 7,000 square foot posh nightclub Pure opened in August 2006 in the Pittsburgh Strip District.|||A lot of it depends on pricing, but if you're willing to pay a little more for the downtown hotels, that's definitely where you should go. From downtown, you can walk to the cultural district, market square, the strip district, the North Shore, and it's just a mile walk to Station Square or a quick cab ride to the South Side. Plus, theres tons of restaurants right downtown. Off the top of my head, there's the Double Tree hotel (with a great restaurant inside of it), the Marriot, and the Omni William Penn (probably pittsburgh's best hotel). Theres also a good hotel, the Sheraton, at Station Square.
If you're looking to avoid the city prices, there are also some hotels in the nearby suburbs. I'd check out the places in Green Tree particularly. It's just 5 minutes outside of town, and it's a nice and quiet suburb.|||Heinz History Center in the Strip District. Fort Pitt Museum down at the point. Lots of theater options in the Cultural District in the evenings too. Station Square has lots of bar and restaurant options.|||Sun Shine is so CORRECT. Great place. Go to the strip district open air market too! Permante Brothers is there and that market is great!|||Primanti Brothers Deli
I'm going to be moving to Pittsburgh soon and I wanted to know what neighboorhoods to avoid.|||I would suggest staying in a suburb and not in the city then you can avoid city taxes. It would be easier to tell you were to stay...try the south hills (Baldwin, Brentood, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair - the last two are more expensive). The North Hills is good too (North Hills, McCandless, Allison Park). If you have kids, the best school district is North Allegheny but they have high taxes in that area. The South Side is a good area if you are into the bar scene.|||Upper St Claire is nice, or atleast it was back when I lived there.

Giant Eagle is a great grocery store!!! Inside of it, they have a place called "Eagles Nest" where you can drop of your kids while you shop. Kids love it.
Pittsburgh is awesome, and I miss it alot.|||I have an Aunt that lives in Carnegie (sp?) it is a suburb, and it is beautiful over there!|||Shady Side or Squirrel Hill|||Without a doubt, the best place to live in Sh*tsburgh is Mount Washington. The view of the city is phenomenal, and you can walk to some of the best restaurants in the city.|||I'm a "city" girl so if you want to live within the confines of the city, I'd recommend Bloomfield, Squirrel Hill, or Lawrenceville, especially if you are twenty-something (or 20-30 something for Sq.

All of these neighborhoods have affordable rent and real estate. I'd recommend going to Pittsburgh's Craigslist to see available rentals.

Are there any that have the more traditional, limited pew arrangement?|||http://orthodoxyinamerica.org/lr_v10/loc鈥?/a>
try ROCOR or Serbian|||Try looking for a ROCOR (Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia) church.
Many Orthodox churches have pews because some of them used to be Protestant/Catholic churches. OCA (Orthodox Church of America) tend to have pews.|||From what I understand, Orthodox services are conducted while the congregation stands for the entire thing, so I'd figure they'd have less. Maybe it's for people who are sick or something and can't stand.|||I know there is one in Ligonier I have been to. It was an Antiochian Orthodox Church. Try an Antiochian one. They usually dont have pews. But I prefer my Greek Church with pews|||You prefer to stand?
I get off of work at like 11pm on weekends and am bored all the time. I miss the wild parties we used to have after work at my last job and was looking to see if anyone knew of any good ones, including the college ones. As I don't got many friends here in pittsburgh, i have no one to really ask.|||Your best bet is to head to the bars in either Station Square or South Side during college nights, which frequently fall on Thursday nights. I went to college in Pittsburgh, where I still live now. Thursday night was always "Thirsty Thursday" and was known as the college night out. While you're out, you will meet so many new people who can plug you into the college party spots on campus's.
The Matrix in Station Square on Thursdays is a huge college night. Start out there and see how you like it. It's a really fun dance club/bar with 4 different themed rooms. Also, Buckhead in Station Square is another great place to go. If you head to South Side, go to Carson City Saloon or Marios. Both of those are casual, fun & always nicely crowded bars that draw a college crowd too. Have fun - Pittsburgh is a very fun place!
We will be coming into Pennsylvaia and have to be in Pittsburgh on Saturday and then again on Wednesday but we want to go up to New York and see the World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty and broadway musical. We would also like to have dinner at Gordon Ramsey's. Any suggestions about how to travel between Pittsburgh and New York, NY would be appreciated. We do have a car but don't want to drive if its like 10 hours. Any suggestions on what to see would also be appreciated. This time of year I understand there are some Christmas lights I won't want to miss?|||I would drive. The train takes longer and is about $110 per person.
I'm turning 16 in january and i need some ideas for my birthday party. I live in pittsburgh, and i would like to have something really exciting. something very memorable. i have parties every year, usually just sleepovers with like 6-8 friends. i was thinking maybe going ice skating in the rink in downtown pittsburgh when they have the big christmas tree up, but im just not sure. any ideas? oh and nothing too expensive.|||maybe IMAX Theater, Concert. Or go to the Arcades, Billiards. Bowling. Curling, Laser Tag, Mini Golf, Paintball, Whirlyball, Go Karts,
Ice Skating, Aquarium, Horse Racing, Theme Park, Zoo.
Maybe Hot Air Balloon or Helicopter Tours, but it is expensive :)
Any good place to eat like restaurants or just fast food or pizza.
Hope i give you a lot of ideas. You can check much more on the source i give you.
Enjoy and happy 16th Birthday :)

They've shut down Late Night at the Beehive (AGAIN), so we're at a loss.|||on the southside, there are two places i know of. one is called the polish club opened til 3 or 4 am (not sure if u need to get a membership), the other is called the caravan club (located on 12th or 13th street near jacks bar) i know u need a membership - its like 30 or 40 bucks for the year and they are open til atleast 4 am. good luck, i love the burgh and miss it dearly.
I heard that Pittsburgh to Amsterdam service is starting up soon with Northwest/KLM. Just a quick fact.|||I doubt either would right now. Southwest operates some flights out of Philadelphia but US Airways currently operates the most flights out of PIT. PIT used to be a hub city for US Airways but has become now a focus city. It seems as though there are not that many people to fly to Pittsburgh or fly out of Pittsburgh. It seems most passengers only connect there. Therefore the airlines may not see Pittsburgh as a good market to make it their hub.

My girlfriend is moving from San Francisco to Pittsburgh. She is driving her car cross-country, but we need to find the most efficient way to transport her larger belongings. I already found a couple of good ideas, but I thought I'd ask the Yahoo! Answers community if they had any suggestions. Thanks!|||I moved from the deep south to the wild west, so I know what y'all are feeling. With gas as high as it is, it will only get worse as time goes by. We used a moving company called ABF. You pack it up in a pod and they put it on a truck and haul it to the destination. I moved 2700 miles and it costed me $967.00. They did all the transportation. I would check into them and they will even quote you.
http://www.upack.com/|||I would say that the most efficient way would be to hire movers. It won't be the cheapest way, but it will be the easiest for your girlfriend. She can hop on a plane. US Airways has direct flights into PIT.
If you are looking for a cheaper way, i would rent one of those budget rental trucks and drive across country. You can pick it up in SF and drop in right in PGH. Plus, you can stop at any interesting sights along the way.
If you have any questions about Pittsburgh, i live there, so feel free to email me with anything you need to know about the city.|||well, there's always the airplane or something but its not efficient at all. other common ideas would be a moving company -- i worked at one for a bit, and i can tell you its not too cheap and there's a pretty large chance you'll have some of your things broken or scratched. if you do go tohat way, i'd recommend having them pack for yuo -- that way they have more responsibility, and the good ones will cover you on certain things if they were the ones who packed. find people who have a storage space too, so you won't be stuck doing that. look into it, and try to shop around as much as you can and also bargain/negotiate. another idea, though im not sure it'll work, is trains. you'd have a limit on how much you can bring, though, and they are not too cheap. greyhound is also available, but again you need to be there with the stuff and you'll never be sure on who you have to ride with (there was a report aobut a yr ago that after prison people were given greyhound tickets to get home...). honestly, i'd stick to a moving company, especially since its larger belongings... :) good luck.
I am a huge Steelers fan currently NOT living in Pittsburgh.

And by beach, I mean a decent one and not a bay or lake. Thank you!|||Well, since you don't want to go to a bay or lake, you are not going to be able to find a beach on your way back to Pittsburgh. If you want a true beach experience, you're going to have to drive farther out to actually hit the ocean, which would mean driving to the edge of Maryland for Ocean City or even parts of Delaware. Sorry!|||There are NO beaches between Baltimore, and Pittsburgh.
My family was wondering if there were any fun events coming up for memorial day in Pittsburgh. It can be anything, I just want to get some ideas.

All three major teams of Pittsburgh, Steelers, Pirates, Penguins. all have the same color scheme of black and gold (yellow?) I was wondering if the colors represent something about the city or something else?|||the pirates and steelers always had those colors...in the late 70s, the pirates won the world series and the steelers were in the superbowl. in honor of those teams, the penguins changed their colors to black and gold for the remainder of that season. but everyone liked it, so they stuck with the black and gold.
now they are they only city where all their professional teams have the same colors. i think it's pretty cool.|||Pittsburgh's flag is black and gold, and the Steele's first uniform had the flags symbol and colors, the pirates also changed there colors. This was years before any super bowls and years after the pirates were in the first world series in 1903. The pirates original colors were blue and red. Report Abuse
|||I live in Pittsburgh, it has to do with the fact that Pittsburgh was a major steel city and black and gold/yellow have to do with the colors of steel when it is being made. Does that make any sense?|||My guess is its kind of a tough looking color.

Most people I know hang things off of their rear view mirror, but i know it's illegal or has to be within standards or something... I know it's not a big deal but i don't want a stupid reason to get pulled over by a jerk cop lol. So what are the 'rules and regulations' for hanging things (i.e, air fresheners, graduation tassels..) off of your rear view mirror in Pittsburgh,Pa ? Thanks!|||This is one of the things that if you think it might be wrong, then dont do it. Almost every state has a law that addresses blocked vision through the windshield. I would say check with the state, but there may be a law in the city or county that will get you pulled over. A stick of gum help up in front of you can block many things that you should see, such as a motorcycle. Best bet is find some other way to look cool and be safe.|||I don't know the official law, BUT you "will" fail PA Safety Inspections with ANYTHING hanging on your rear-view mirror. Most garages would either A) take if off and tell you, or B) don't even pay attention to it. My mother was shown where this is part of the PA Inspection book(whatever exactly the mechanics use as far as title) and that it is considered failure to have anything hanging off the mirror, now when you are driving I don't know if they have a law that nothing can be hanging or not. On the other hand the fact that it goes against safety inspection may be enough for a cop looking for a reason. I live in PA so this isn't just saying oh someone told me or oh in this State this happens type of thing either. The guy who showed her is basically a small time mechanic who has a license to do inspections(think he only did safety, don't think he did emissions) so he was more precise then a lot of places probably would end up being.|||well if we talk about rules and regulations of Pittsburgh than I must say Pittsburgh is well known for its values, customs, rules and its illegal there(as far as my knowledge is concern) I read this:

I live in Pittsburgh and I honestly feel I could play for the Pirates. How would I contact them about a try out, I think I could sell them on the idea of giving me a try out it's just a matter of contacting someone in a position of power to set one up.|||Call or send a letter to their front office.
If you "...think you could sell them on the idea" you need to seriously think like a salesman.

I also recommend applying to all these, including the top schools like Syracuse, Northwestern, USC and Boston University because its worth a shot at these "brand name" journalism schools.

I live in Philadelphia and I'm trying to get to Pittsburgh on the 26 of November,and am only staying for the day and returning the same day . I've been looking and the cheapest fare was about 90 dollars. Is there any way cheaper or does anyone know how I could get there for less?|||Drive. It only 6hours.|||Oh Southwest Airline by far. $49 each way...
Flight:1121 from Philly to Pgh.
7:15pm 8:40pm N/S 1:25 $115 $100 $49
I fly to Philly every week on my days off.
Another is Amtrak which is about $90 r/t but it take like 8hrs to get to Pgh. Also, there's only 1 train that leaves and arrive thru Pgh.
Greyhound (I hate Greyhound) about $90 r/t or less then that. But that also takes about 6-8hrs.
Renting a car is the best option if you want. You can leave and arrive anytime..
ADDITIONAL NOTE
I recommend Southwest since you don't drive.. only a hour flight.
Shouldn't we complain at the Pittsburgh Police? Policemen beating up protesters, who were raising their hands, running away or just walking through the street without any provocation, are a theat to our freedom. It's just a phone call.|||you definitely show how informed you are|||Have any sources to back up that information?|||I don't have any sympathy for G8 / G20 protestors.

G8 / G20 protestors have caused millions of dollars of damage over the course of time in the name of "freedom, anarchy, communism" or whatever the thing of the day is.
For those protestors that are not a part of the problem my advice is to stay home next time, or face guilt by association.|||paul c you need to learn how to spell, its definitely, which is 5th grade english.

These protesters have no evidence of being peace full and neither do the police. Police operate on fear and follow the law of justice there actions would only of happened because of an order, the order of which happened because of the actions of the protesters. If it wasn't cause of fear there would be no government, no law and no police force etc. Protesters can not be peace full for they are objecting, an objection is seen as an act of aggression which will provoke the action or violence of the enforcer's e.g the police.

Hi I am looking to go and visit a friend in Pittsburgh does anyone know when is the cheapest time of year to fly and who would be cheapest to fly with?|||You should avoid all school and public holidays at your departure and arrival points. All airlines uplift their prices at these times.
Purchase your ticket as far in advance as possible. Most airlines release their cheapest tickets about ten months prior to departure (you need to consider the return flight here) and as these sell out more are released at a higher price.
Use the comparison sites that another answer has given to find options, then check the price and schedule on the airline's own website as these could be cheaper.
Just a note about schedule. Be aware that the cheapest ticket may have an horrendous schedule taking more changes of plane and hours of your time, not to mention inconvenience, than you really want.|||Avoid Christmas time and early January, after this time the price line is pretty much the same year round. Also book no later than a week in advance of your chosen travel date, booking a seat a matter of days before makes prices jump up.|||Avoid traveling to the US during holidays, such as Memorial Day, Labor Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years. Usually, spring (March, April) tends to be the cheapest. For cheap tickets, try:

The Pirates are eleven games under .500 ball right now which is just where most fans thought they would be at this time. If Pirates fans are looking for something to be embarrassed about they need to look no further than Pirates management who have not been willing to spend some money on players to field a winning team for their fans.|||they should be disappointed, but not ashamed, 1st of all it's only 1 game, 2nd of all, ther not a good team and wont make the playoffs either way.|||After last's nights game, the only player i'm angry at is matt Capps. But then again, he's had many games like that this year. I wonder why they brought him in with a 4 run lead (shame :()
Did you see Garret Jones' performance and jack Wilson's spectactular catch?|||I've been saying the same thing for years. Baseball is a business and you have to look at how the competition is doing to change your way of doing things. The Phillies are in the same state as the Pirates. If the Phillies could turn around their franchise and win it all then the Pirates must do the same. The new owners of the Pirates have no direction nor sense of urgency when it comes to winning. The Pirates have no excuse why they have not been in the Playoffs since 1992. This link wraps it up very well:
http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.as鈥?/a>|||They should be embarassed period.|||I think not. Regardless on how they play, the players are laughing all the way to the bank while the baseball fans keep being suckers and paying the ticket prices.|||The Pirates are a charter franchise in the National League. Meaning, they were one of the original teams when the National League was first formed way back when.
The Pirates are a storied franchise, and there is a lot of history over the years. Therefore, they need to be treated with the proper respect; and it sure doesn't seem that their current ownership really cares, nor gives them the respect they deserve.
The Pirates have had many star players over the years. From Roberto Clemente, and others, the list goes on and on. However, over the last many years, the Pirates have quite frankly sucked.
Also, most people in Pittsburgh really don't care. They live and breathe over what happens to the Pittsburgh Steelers every week in the NFL in the quest for another Super Bowl victory. The Pirates have always played second fiddle to the Steelers in that regard. Then the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins have always brought up the rear in the terms of community interest. Sure, they've been perennial Stanley Cup contenders and won the Cup this year; but the Penguins almost left town, until the deal finally got done to get them a new arena. Had the Penguins bolted to say, Kansas City, I doubt anyone would have cared (other than for the hard-core hockey fans, of course).
As far as the Pirates go, there are many different things that need to change. Pronto. Number one, the Pirates front office needs to roll its sleeves up and convince the ownership to get off the checkbook to sign some decent players. Perhaps a free agent pickup or two. Anything to make the team better. The people of Pittsburgh and the region there of western Pennsylvania really need to start caring about the Pirates.
The Pirates have a long term lease at PNC Park, so they're not going anywhere anytime soon. So, they're in no danger of pulling up stakes and moving to another city. I doubt MLB would allow one of its charter franchises to make such a move anyway.
The Pirates somehow have to do something to get the people to care.|||One title in three decades.
Two in one year.
Yeah we are real ashamed of our sports teams.
Looking to go to the PPG ice rink in Pittsburgh on Wednesday afternoon. A little confused with where I should park though. Any recommendations? I appreciate the help.

What is going on this weekend in Pittsburgh? Nov 10th and 11th. We are 25 and would love to go down to Pittsburgh, about an hour and a half drive, just to hang out and do something interesting.|||go see the pittsburgh steelers play or Carnegie Museum of Art
Carnegie Museum of ArtWhen Andrew Carnegie envisioned a museum collection consisting of the "Old Masters of tomorrow", the Carnegie Museum of Art became, arguably, the first museum of modern art in the United States. Founded in 1895, today it continues Carnegie's love of contemporary art by staging the Carnegie International every few years. The marble Hall of Sculpture replicates the interior of the Parthenon. The Hall of Architecture contains the largest collection of plaster casts of architectural masterpieces in America and one of the three largest in the world. The Heinz Architectural Center, opened as part of the museum in 1993, is dedicated to the collection, study, and exhibition of architectural drawings and models. In 2001 the museum acquired the archive of African-American photographer Charles "Teenie" Harris, consisting of approximately 80,000 photographic negatives spanning from the 1930s to the 1970s. Many of these images have been catalogued and digitized and are available online via the Carnegie Museum of Art Collections Search.The Gateway Clipper Fleet is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based fleet of riverboats. The fleet cruises the three rivers of Pittsburgh, the Monongahela, the Allegheny, and the Ohio. The fleet is named after the city of Pittsburgh, which in earlier times was known as the "Gateway to the West" [1]. The original riverboat was the Gateway Clipper, which set sail in 1958. By the mid-1960s, the fleet was composed of three craft, the Gateway Clipper, the Party Liner, and the Good Ship Lollipop. Today there are five watercraft in the fleet: the 1,000 passenger Majestic; the 600 passenger Party Liner; two 400-passenger craft, the Keystone Belle and the Liberty Belle; and the 150-passenger Good Ship Lollipop. The current Good Ship Lollipop was known as the City of Champions until 1982. There is actually a sixth craft in the fleet. The Party Liner is a barge that is pushed by a towboat named the Gateway Liner [2].
The Gateway Clipper Fleet offers many types of cruises, from day trips for school groups to formal dinner cruises. Shuttle service to PNC Park and Heinz Field is available on days of Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Pitt Panthers home games. The fleet is believed to be the largest inland riverboat fleet in the United States. The fleet formerly was moored at the Monongahela Wharf. Currently it is moored at the Station Square dock.

Carnegie Museum of Natural HistoryFrom the discovery of Diplodocus carnegii to the skull of Samson, the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skull known to date, and the brand new, yet to be named, species of oviraptorosaur the Carnegie Museum of Natural History has one of the finest dinosaur collections in the world. Other exhibits include the Hillman Hall of Minerals and Gems, the Alcoa Foundation Hall of American Indians, Polar World: Wyckoff Hall of Arctic Life, the Walton Hall of Ancient Egypt, the Benedum Hall of Geology and the Powdermill Nature Reserve, established by the museum in 1956 to serve as a field station for long-term studies of natural populations. The museum also recently discovered the Fruitafossor windscheffeli.
[edit] Carnegie Science Center
Carnegie Science CenterOpened in 1991, but with a history that dates to October 24, 1939, the Carnegie Science Center is the most visited museum in Pittsburgh. Among its attractions are the newly constructed Buhl Digital Dome (which features the latest in projection), the Rangos Omnimax Theater, UPMC SportsWorks, the Miniature Railroad & Village庐, and the USS Requin, a World War II submarine.
Under the leadership of Robert Wilburn, Buhl Science Center merged with the Carnegie Institute and a new $40 million Carnegie Science Center was constructed.

Hmm, some hotel suggestions would be Omni William Penn in downtown; Sheraton in Station Square, may others.

Afternoon: Walk around Station Square, the take incline up to Mt. Washington.

Shadyside: Cafe Sam (eclectic American, good price, atmosphere)

I've been playing tennis for three years, basket ball for one, and managed the team for the last three years. I'm also in National Honor Society and Envirothon. The school has a total of 16,000 + undergrads, 450 of which are nursing students. Its a relatively competative school...what are my chances?|||The University of Pittsburgh is becoming more and more competitive every year. It's medical program is famed nation-wide (it's probably known worldwide, actually). I think you have a decent chance of getting in, but your SAT scores will be important, as well. If you haven't taken them, then you need to, and obviously, you need to do your best.
It's good that you are involved in a lot of activities. Schools always like to see that. Definitely apply to Pitt. If you do well on your SATs, I think you will have a good chance of being accepted.

Second, you have to decide what field interests you, making a list of places, or of people, who can lead you to that field. I, for example, majored in political science and minored in English.

Is PA-51 an expressway?|||Whoever told you to avoid the Turnpike is probably cheap. I would think that you probably add at least another 30 to 45 minutes.
No, PA 51 is not an expressway. Neither is US 40 once you get off I-68. PA 51 goes through a lot of little towns (35 MPH speed limit) and has a part under construction.
Back in the 1960's my father and a couple coworkers would drive from Columbus, OH to Pittsburgh to watch a Saturday night and Sunday afternoon Pirates game at Forbes Field.

|||Well first you have to go to the Strip District
just outside of downtown
on a Saturday morning
there you will find foods from all nations
Wholeys sells fresh calamari among others delectable
my daughter runs a knock off fashion store at 21st and Penn if you want a good deal on purses
then continue up Liberty Ave into Bloomfield to our Little Italy
and in the evening stop at the Church Brew Works for a homemade micro brew
Hope you are staying in Downtown
the Courtyard on Penn is very nice
With a great little hot spot across the street
Welcome to the Burg!!|||Davio is my favorite Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh, though I don't know if it is Northern or not (I always forget the distinction)
It is in a weird neighboorhood, but the food and service in impeccable. (and you can bring your own wine)|||Sally - you're lucky because Italian food is very big in Pittsburgh. As the other poster said, there is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh called "Bloomfield" (it's on the east end, about 3-4 miles from downtown). My favorite restaurant in Bloomfield is D'Amico's, but Del's is pretty good, too.
There's a place called Minutello's (on Shady Avenue) that has good, basic Italian food. Their pizza is great. They make their own sausage, and offer it as a topping for pizza and of course make pasta dishes with it, too.
In the strip (a few blocks from downtown) Lidia's has more upscale italian food (it's one of Lidia Bastronovich's - spelling? restaurants - she has a cooking show on PBS). They have a brunch on Saturday that is a pasta sampling. The first course is a salad selection you serve yourself of antipasti, bean salads, green salads, etc. and dessert is a serve yourself with tarts, cannoli, tiramisu, etc. Really good.
I don't know if any of this is Northern Italian -but it's all good! Welcome to Pittsburgh and I hope you like living here!
I don't know what to think about the art institute of pittsburgh! I want to go there really bad. Im just not sure. Anyone have an opinion on this school?|||I actually just got off the phone with someone from the Arts Institute of
Pittsburgh to talk about their Web Design Program. I was not real happy to find out it would cost me $20,000 just to get a diploma in Web Design! That's just for a diploma!
I can go to my local community college and get a Web Diploma for about $7,000. A huge difference.
While I think it's a good school, you can take classes elsewhere a lot cheaper.
Do you want to go broke taking out student loans?
Perhaps it's a good idea to find a school that offers what you want at the cost you can afford. Also do not feel rushed into a quick sale with any school. Let them know you want to think about it. If they try to sign you up without giving you time then you know it's a scam.
Do a search on Culinary Arts and you will come up with a lot of options. Find a school that specializes just in the Culinary Arts and you will probably get a better deal. I'm not saying not to go with AIP but be sure to give yourself time to think about all the pros and cons.
Good luck!

I have to write a short story for English class and I wanted to be accurate. About how long would a flight from LAX to Pittsburgh take?|||A direct flight from LAX to Pittsburgh would be approx. 4 Hrs 7 Min|||The times the others gave are for a direct flight. That is on US Airways and it goes at what have always been inconvenient hours for me.

If I was taking a plane to Tokyo from Pittsburgh. Can someone help me figure this out please.|||It depends on your flight.|||I have done this. The best way to get to Tokyo (Narita Airport) from Pittsburgh is to go to Chicago O'Hare and then directly to Narita. It takes about 15 hours. I actually went from Pittsburgh to Chicago and then to Seattle, so it took 16 hours, but Chicago has flights to Tokyo, so if you just go there, you will save time.
It's about 2 hours from Pittsburgh to Chicago O'Hare, and then a direct flight is around 13 hours from O'Hare to Tokyo (Narita).|||There are no direct flights from Pittsburgh to Tokyo, however normally the flight would be around 14-15 hours.|||Depends.
If you take American Airlines or it's codeshare operators, you first fly to the main hub in Dallas Fort Worth. that itself will probably take close to 4 hours. Then from Dallas to Tokyo Narita is 12 hours, 13 if you fly to Osaka Kansai airport.
Nagoya is also a 13 hour plane ride.
Nonetheless you have to stop in a major hub before you fly out to Japan.|||Depending on the flight and weather you should expect it to take around 14 hours of flight if direct to Narita airport. Narita is the usual airport for Tokyo. It is about 35 miles from central Tokyo. Haneda (Tokyo International Airport) is 8 miles from central Tokyo. Both airports have plenty of transportation options to get to Tokyo.
Why are you not allowed in clubs on Pittsburgh鈥檚 Southside when you wear DC shoes? Are the bouncers mad that their parents never bought them dirt bikes when they were little and did not get to be cool like their friends? Or is it because they spent their entire clothing budget on Under Armour and cannot buy sweet shoes?|||Well, clearly the bouncers at these establishments are jealous of you and your suav茅 attire...and your dirt bikes. Maybe you should go to better places on the Southside like Jimmy D鈥檚...where the bouncers aren't meat-gazers.|||gang association, I went into a bar once,( well maybe more than once) and i was wearing a ball cap or bandana and this huge black bouncer put his arm on my chest and said "No Colors!"

I took the SATs in June and got a 1550. I just applied to the University of Pittsburgh and I was wondering if that score is good enough to get accepted to the main campus of Pitt. I am going to retake the SATs this October to see if I can bring my score up, which brings me to another question... I can send my scores again right?|||According to College Board:
Test Scores
Middle 50% of
First-Year Students
SAT Critical Reading: 570 - 680
SAT Math: 590 - 680
SAT Writing: 560 - 660
The average student applies with a minimum 1720 SAT score.
This doesn't necessarily mean you can't get in with your score, although a higher one will help.
The vigor of your classes, your extracurricular activities, teacher and counselor recommendations, etc will all help in the application process. SAT scores aren't the only thing they take into account when looking at an application|||If that SAT score is based on the CR and math sections only then you are degrading yourself by applying to the University of Pittsburgh. On the other hand, if it's based on all sections (CR + math + writing) then it is a little low. Yes you can send your scores as many times as you want, you just need to pay for the service.
University of Pittsburgh was one of my safeties. I applied with a 2080 and was accepted to their honors program.|||I can almost guarantee that your score is NOT high enough. Almost all colleges, private or public, prestigious or not, are looking for a good SAT score of about 2000 or above.
You should definitely retake the SATs and aim for at least 1900. Try your hardest to get over 2000, because that's a great score and would be appreciated by most colleges!|||Try best your next time|||The best college finder is http://TopEducationFinder.info

how long does it take to drive from University of Pittsburgh to downtown Pittsburgh?
Is the campus close to the city?
how is the night life there?|||The campus is in the city it's just in Oakland which is the East End as opposed to downtown. It's less than 2 miles away from downtown and provided there isn't traffic it should only take you a few minutes to drive.
The nightlife downtown is much more of a happy hour and after dinner or theater crowd. More adults as opposed to college kids. The Oakland nightlife is mostly bars that cater to the college crowd. The heart of Pittsburgh nightlife is really the South Side which is just over the river from Oakland and Downtown. Here you'll find over 100 bars ranging from upscale lounges and clubs to dive bars.

And they do not allow pets to fly in cargo in hot weather (if it is a larger pet) and a longer flight.

If I had a boat and started in the Ohio River in Pittsburgh and sailed into the Mississippi and down to the end of it in Louisiana, how long would that take?
I know it would be a while mainly because of the locks and dams, but what would be a rough estimate? I was thinking maybe a month, but I'm not entirely sure - I've been trying to figure this out for a few days and yahoo answers is my last resort.
Any information would be awesome! Thanks everybody!|||You couldn't navigate it on water alone. Locks and Dams are along the route. Your boat would need to be taken out of the water and taken around the obstacles. Small passenger recreational boats are not allowed to use all the lock systems. At the Falls of the Ohio in Louisville KY I am certain your boat would have to be moved over land. Before anyone ask I know there is no water fall there any longer, a lock system closed it off year and years ago.
The Current is in your favor and without the aide of anything you should move 5-12 miles per hour for 1,310 miles for the OH river , would be 4.5 to 6 days, with a sail 2.5-5 days depending on wind. From the MS river near Cairo IL your looking at about 1000 miles of water adding another 3-5 days depending on type of power or just drifting.|||This "Best Answer" is all wrong. All boats of any size may lock through the Locks on the Ohio River, including the McAlpine Lock at the Falls of the Ohio. The current normally runs at 2 to 3 miles per hour. The time it would take depends on the boat. A canoe will take much longer than a powerboat. Report Abuse
|||I'd add that the Ohio is only 981 miles long from Pittsburgh to the Mississippi, not 1,310 mi. RiversRME is correct in that any boat can lock thru every one of the 18 high-lift & the 2 low head locks and dams on the Ohio. I'd give an avg of 1 hour per lockage, then you're free-flowing to the Gulf. Report Abuse

The Carnegie Science Center is alright and the Carnegie Museum. The Nativity Scene outside the US Steel Building is pretty neat and there is ice skating nearby.

Primanti's sandwiches are famous for having cole slaw and french fries on them (but you can be a wimp like me and get the cole slaw on the side), still really good though.
I already have the stats I want to use for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. Win Percentage, Pass Yards,Run Yards, Turnovers, Etc.
Can I even use multiple regression to pick a winner or do I need more than two teams? I know how I can use multiple regression to check all thirty some teams to see who has the best chance to win a super bowl but what about just two teams.|||Just pick Baltimore.
The Steelers are the worst Super Bowl defenders ever.
Tongue in cheek...
My initial guess would be no, you cant do this, since each team does not play every other team, and even if they did, they wouldn't play them the same number of times, and even if they did that too, the sample space would still be too small-you would need dozens of games between any two teams.
The best analysis would be within the same division, but again, since they dont play the same teams out of division you'd have to use only the data in intradivision games and apply the results similarly.
I would also assume that the regression variables would be wildly non-linear, so you're going to have a beast of an equation when you're done.
Again, these are all just guesses by inspection, and they may be way off, but then again if it were in any way feasible I assume it would have already been done.
Nice try.|||Boy Steelers got crushed.
I dont know that any equation could have predicted that. Report Abuse
|||I assume that you mean "multiple linear regression", which is not the ideal tool for this sort of problem. If you have statistical software available, then you might try logistic regression, which can be used to predict probabilities, such as the probability that the Steelers win.
If you don't have statistical software, you still might try this using linear regression, but I suggest using the point spread as the dependent variable.

Ok, I live in Pittsburgh. The City of Champions. A wonderful city. Protesters are coming here for the G20 summit next week. I hope they don't destroy it. I'm sure there will be some sort of trouble.|||Nah.

My husband joined the NG in Philadelpia, but we have made the last minute decision that I would move to Pittsburgh.

so what happened....did the fact you were playing waek teams finally come out today....? Your team aint bad....but obviously it aint great either. So, why did you guys get all quiet like all of a sudden?|||Sorry it took me a bit, they played a later game and the bar isn't next door, you know?
Arizona was the better team today, I'll admit it with no shame. They dominated on both sides of the ball today. They crowded the box and Willie went no where (why they didn't put Najeh in at the goal line, I'll never know). Ben made some bonehead decisions (those 2 picks were unbelievable, especially the first one, absolute momentum changer, it was so predictable, and the last one was just, sigh). Our o-line was just awful, half the time Ben did stupid stuff was because he ran out of time, Marvel was getting blown up like crazy. I'm also disappointed in the defense. Troy goes out and they act like it's the first game the rest of them played.
Congratulations to the Cardinals; I hope the Steelers can learn from and put this loss behind them, because our next game is HUGE, and I'd like to go into the bye week with a respectable record of 4-1.
That's my 2 for 2.|||thank you it is about time someone said it the steelers fans acted like they had a super bowl team because they beat three horrible teams.|||OK..... so they played against there offensive coordinator from last year. You don't think that has anything to do with it???
Obviously, the Browns arn't a "weak" team this year.. look what they did against the ravens today and Cincinnati.
The Steelers are still a really good team. The season is still young.... they are 3-1, what is your team's record??
Oh and does this look "quiet" to you???|||they are pretty good, they just ran into the ole mastermind of their offense for 3 years, Ken Whisenhunt. He had that D prepped, Steelers couldn't do much, and I'm not sure Big Ben is all that great|||I think this was a wake up game. This may actually be good for the Steelers. The Steelers might have been to high on themselves. Also this was the first game of the season when they were hit hard with injuries. Hines Ward did not play, Troy Polamalu got hurt and never returned, along with injuries of Chris Hoke and Brian McFadden. I believe if Troy would of played the whole game the Steelers would be playing in overtime. But the main reason why they lost was because of their running game. Willie Parker was silent the whole game. Even after this game my prediction still stays the same, 11-5.|||It's probably just case of the Cardinals coach Wisenhunt know what's the Steelers offense is all about and prepare his games plan to stop them cold. After all he was their offensive coordinator last year, so he knew what the Steelers was going to do and adjust accordingly to win this game. But Pitts offense was horrendous to say the least and the turnovers killed them today.|||They "ain't" as great as many are making them out to be!!!

My kids aren't big on sports, but I heard that they are big on sports in Pittsburgh. My daughter loves Andy Warhol, so when she heard we might move their, she flipped.|||It's become quite a nice place - the smokestack days are long past.
It has some very nice neighborhoods, and a clean, efficient bus system. And yes, it is quite walkable.
Besides the regular downtown, the university area of Oakland is a sort of second downtown, one much more cultured than "regular" downtown.
I don't know how the schools are, but most locals I met (of varying ethnic backgrounds) seem intelligent. Locals seem fiercely proud of their hometown, and regret only that careers sometimes take them elsewhere.|||There are some great museums like the Carnegie Natural History, Andy Warhol, and the zoo, I remember a small art museum in Brighton my mom would take me to for classes.

The last time the Pittsburgh Pirates had a winning season was in 1992. Likewise, for the Orioles it was 1997. Which team do you think will produce a winning season before the other?|||I am biased, but I do feel that objectively I look at the Orioles and believe that they will improve soon. I honestly believe that the Orioles needed a proven winner (Buck Showalter) that isn't going to be pushed around and will cut the garbage. We are in a tough division. The Rays, Sox, Yanks, and even the Jays had winning records. That being said I think Buck will not tolerate, guys who give games away, and that has been the Orioles problem. I am also hoping this isn't a wish.|||Simple; it's all about money in MLB. Both clubs have some young talent. The question is, which team will more likely be able to afford to keep their talent as they approach impending fee agency? Answer - the Orioles.
Last season, the Pirates ranked dead last in team payroll at a shade under 35 million. The O's were closer to the middle of the pack at #17 with a payroll of 81.6 million. Regardless of what you think of Peter Angelos, I'm guessing that if he thought the Orioles were very close to having a REAL contending team he would kick in some more $$$ to see it through. Not Yankee, Red Sox or Phils money perhaps, but enough. I don't think that theres a snowballs chance of a scenario like that EVER happening in Pittsburgh unless they are purchased and run by some very motivated & very deep pockets committed to bringing a winner to Pittsburgh.|||Orioles easily...they still have the fans coming out to be able to afford some guys, and they have a lot of young talent ( Jones, Markakis, Weiters) and they have a great manager. They just need some good starting pitchers, but they are many years away.
The Pirates have no future in site. Yea they have alvarez and mccutchen but not much else. And in a few years when those guys are free agents, the pirates won't be able to afford them because they don't sell any tickets. Plus the pirates owner is pathetic and never gives them a chance to win by they way he manages his club
Both teams are far away from a winning season, but pittsburgh should just move to another city their fans are a joke|||Baltimore Orioles. The only thing that the Pirates owner's care about is how much money they make, they really shouldn't care less about how the team is. That's why they've traded all their star players. At least Baltimore tries to be good.|||I wanna say the Orioles. Under Showalter, they can have a winning season. And I do use that term loosely. It doesn't matter if they are in the east, they have the west and the central too.|||Pittsburgh, in 3-5 more years..
Baltimore in 6-10 years :)|||the pirates. they hav alvarez who will be a star n mccutchen already is. Jose tabata is a upcoming star to. Pittsburgh has a better fab base too|||i think the Orioles young players are a little more developed at this point and closer to competing, so i will go with them. plus, they have a great manager.|||pirates... no way the orioles can do it with the yankees, red sox, and rays in the same division|||pittsburgh pirates!|||orioles first.|||Orioles they just got a new coch an that's a huge up
I am a sexual assault survivor, and a few days ago, my counselor suggested getting a service dog. She said that there are programs that provide service dogs for this reason, but after attempting to reasarch online, I haven't been able to find any around Pittsburgh that seem applicable. If anyone would be able to suggest any organizations that do this, it would be greatly appreciated.|||As I stated before in the dogs section:
There's a difference between a personal protection dog and a service dog. Personal protection training does not qualify a dog as service dog in the sense of being able to take it with you to places where pets are not ordinarily permitted.
As another answerer said, you must be not only mentally ill, but so severely mentally ill that you are disabled by that illness in order to qualify for a service animal.
An emotional support dog is also an option. They are not permitted any place that pets are not permitted with two exceptions: they can live in "no pets" housing and can accompany their disabled owner in the cabin of aircraft during flights. If you don't need either of those things then there's no real need to have him called an emotional support animal.
You should share this article with your counselor:
http://www.iaadp.org/ptsd.html
Note that giving a service dog additional protection training can be very problematic. If you are ever in need of emergency assistance and the dog interferes with emergency personnel, he may be shot on site. Additionally, protection training turns a dog into a weapon. Many businesses and almost all government offices exclude weapons and that would include protection trained dogs, even if they are also service dogs.
If you are disabled, there are other things that a dog can be trained to do that might help you.
http://www.iaadp.org/A-dogWorld.html
http://servicedogcentral.org/content/nod鈥?/a>
To find a service dog provider, try the information in this article, which includes links to several online lists of providers:
http://servicedogcentral.org/content/nod鈥?/a>
Be prepared to give the program detailed information about your disability and some medical documentation to prove you are disabled. They'll need the proof of disability as part of the criteria to determine your eligibility and they'll need the details about what you cannot do because of your disability to determine what sort of task training the dog will need.|||BNF didn't say she needed a dog for protection. Just as soldiers suffer from PTSD so do survivors of other traumas, rape and sexual assault most definitely included. Likewise, just as soldiers suffering from PTSD can benefit from a service dog so can sexual assult survivors, no mental illness needed Report Abuse
|||Please see my answer in the "Dogs" section.
After watching the AFC championship, one has to wonder if the game was supposed to be fixed (in the favor of the ravens) after all of the terrible bullshit calls made (or lack of calls needed by Pittsburgh). So how much did the refs get paid to completely screw over pittsburgh?|||They got played on some calls but so did the ravens the last time they played. Funny how karma is a ******.|||12 dollars, maybe 12.50|||what are you talking about go to sleep you need to cool down|||haa. they werrent even on our side and we still won.
STEELERS BABY.|||I know what you mean. There were so many penalties the refs were not calling, and it got to the point where a player ended up being taken off the field on a stretcher. The officiating crew really let too many penalties go in this game.|||The Steelers were babied, and yet when Kemo got pissed cause of the hands to the face he drew the penalty. Ravens fans just can't let it go.
All these Ravens fans always talk about hard hitting and how their defense is a bunch of smash mouth football players. Then they cry and whine about legal hits saying they are illegal. They cry and whine when Flacco gets sacked, but yet when there are holding calls NOT called us Steelers fans have become so used to it. Even the announcers said late hits on Ben, and they weren't called.
Im a Steelers fan and I understand there wasn't a roughing the kicker, but I think what the ref saw was his hand grab his foot AFTER the ball was kicked. It didn't give us points, we won fair and square, poor Ed Reed had no INT and you guys lost.|||It doesn't even matter. The best team won!!!!!|||Are you kidding? Did you see the phantom roughing the kicker call? A fifteen yard penalty setting up Pitt (which led to no points anyways) on Baltimore's 35 yard line. Replays showed how bad of a call it was considering he didn't even touch him. I will give credit to the kicker though because if this football thing doesn't work out he has a career in acting. I was rooting for Pitt but that was rough. The non pass interference call against Arizona to end the game was a bad call also.|||too much|||about 7 dollars|||You cannot afford so don't ask. winks!|||I was going to flame you for suggesting the Steelers won because of bad calls.
But yeah, there were a few calls that went to Ravens way that seemed questionable. And Pittsburgh has had a lot of that this season.
Sometimes I wonder if refs make calls to keep games closer than they should. But it's all speculation.
In the end the team that deserved to win, did win. So no harm no foul.|||Yeah they screwd over pittsburgh and made no calls for the ravens in the process while pittsburgh still wins. how about when clark nearly killed mcgahee and no call was made? yeah they screwd over pittsburgh alright|||The game was called horribly, but on both sides of the ball. There were a ton of non-calls when Harrison was held. But let's not forget that BS roughing the kicker call that Berger drew by losing his balance at the same time that a Raven accidentally might have barely touched his toe.|||The Steelers get babied in every single game by the refs.

I think it is a great city to live in. Very walkable, nice neighborhoods. Brookline has to be one of the nicest and most walkable neighborhoods in the city. About 2 miles from the Downtown area with many schools. Brookline K-8, West Liberty, South Brook, and Carmalt K-8 are in the Brookline region of town. Teenagers in Brookline would go to Brashear High School which is located in Beechview, one neighborhood over from Brookline. The school towers over Mt. Washington which is across Route-51, and you can even see the top 5 stories of the US Steel Tower. Other great parts of the city would be Downtown itself, with its amazing skyline, and walkable streets. Also the Mosty Livable City in the United States. I suggest if anyone is planning on moving to the Pittsburgh region of Pennsylvania, you can find great housing, and great people in Brookine. House prices range from around 70,000 to 150,000 depending on the house. What do you all think about Pittsburgh?|||I'm really glad you posted, Sean.

Pittsburgh got robbed; but both players will be on the Yankee's Bench.

Ohlendorf will be put into the Bucs' rotation immediately, since the staff is injury riddled and inconsistent. And you also say Jose will be a starter for the Pirates in 2 years!

Nady is a great fit into the yankee lineup, he makes their lineup the best in the AL east, and Marte makes the bullpen a lot better because he can pitch well against both righties and lefties, and is a young arm the yanks can resign and have for years to come. Nady doesn't have to play outfield in the upcoming years if he stays as a yankee, he can play DH or move to 1st(maybe who knows) or be a corner outfielder when abreu or damon leave or retire.|||The Yankees were buying and Pittsburgh was selling.

Why else would the Pirates make the trade?
For the Yankees, they got what they needed. Nady is a solid player they eill have at least this year and next and they got lefty relief. They are still a little light in the starter department right now.|||i think this trade works out well for both sides...the yankees get a righthanded bat they can insert in the lineup and a lefty to put in the pen, and the pirates get prospects including a real gem in tabata, and lord knows the pirates can only look to their future|||The Pirates have been selling for the last 20 years, are Pirates fans tired of the giveaways and giveups the Pirates are pulling?!?!?!?|||Nady will probably serve as the starting left fielder, at least for the first few games.

the prevailing winds are another|||Flying East planes are going in the same direction as the jet stream. Flying West they have to fly against the wind. Is similar to rowing a boat downstream as opposed to rowing upstream.|||Because of the Earths rotation. East to West you are going "with" the rotation Going the other way, the Earth is spinning toward you.|||Above poster is partially right, but it is the wind up there that is the real reason.
I live around Pittsburgh and people consider Portland Oregon a bigger city than Pittsburgh. I was looking for the Pittsburgh category in yahoo answers and it was not there. The Steelers are 4-1 and we barely get any national recognition. When they are tours, they never come to Pittsburgh. No on visits. What wrong wih this place. I think it great and it has a lot of history.|||It's decent but not huge or very interesting. It doesn't exactly top the list for tourist destinations.|||I just moved here from Raleigh NC, my neighborhood is nice, the schools are good, people are friendly, it's just not very exciting and I guess that's OK. I have heard and I think I agree that public service unions (Port Authority, teachers) are killing the local taxpayers, hence the populace is shrinking. Having come from a right-to-work state it blows me away that teachers would forsake their pupils and walk off the job. That is so far from what teachers seem to be about.
In my months here, I have heard no discussion about how P'burgh can attract new industry through tax incentives or by any means. There is just fighting over whether downtown parking and drinks and rental cars will be taxed to pay for mass transit (what will the ridership be?).
P'burgh is on a trajectory to tax its population out of existence because people have a choice, they don't have to stay where they are over taxed (Michigan, are you listening).|||This is because Pittsburgh is not a diverse metropolis. It is mainly built upon the steel working industry and the blue collar citizens. It does not have the values and people of New York, L.A. and such to be ranked as major city. So I guess your answer is because it only has one major industry, steel.
Hence the "STEELERS" name :P|||It needs some rappers, or America's Next Top Model, or the next Idol winner to put it on the map.
But I do agree. I think the city is underrated.
It's the fish and pond theory. The East Coast has a lot of major cities. It might be a decent fish, but small compared to the others around it. Portland is the best thing going compared to its surroundings.
Same thing for Boise, ID and Milwaukee, WI, for example.|||It is a larger city, but for PA, Philly takes the cake as a "big city".
I was in the Pittsburgh area a few months ago and was totally surprised to encounter a traffic jam. Not being from the area, my perception was that aside from Philly there are no big cities in PA, and unless there is an accident there wouldn't be enough volume to create a traffic jam - - I was wrong!
At least your state has a city with a category. I'm in NJ and end up in Philly, NYC, or "other" - - LOL|||I'm sorry I can't help answer your question but I just want to let you know I live in Charlotte NC and I feel the same way about Charlotte.. Sure our football team isn't as good as the Steelers and we have a basketball team but we have a huge population, growing like crazy, second largest banking hub in the country and Charlotte still isn't considered a major city.
Im going to be a junior in high school and I want to start looking at different options for colleges and majors, and I want to stay in Pittsburgh.|||Point Park University

I might be going to PITT, and I'm just wondering, what is there really to do in Pittsburgh?|||Things to do in Pittsburgh:
-Carnegie Museum of Art and Natural History (they recently rennovated their dinosaur exhibit and their gemstone exhibit)
-Phipps Conservatory
-Andy Warhol Museum
-Mattress Factory (this is a modern art museum NOT a real factory!)
-Gateway Clipper
-Ride the incline
-Professional Football, Baseball, Hockey Games
-Ballet, opera, and other stage performances
If you are a University of Pittsburgh student, you can go to Phipps Conservatory, Carnegie Museum or Art and Natural History, Mattress Factory, and Andy Warhol Museum all for free with your Pitt ID. You can also use the buses for free.
As far as nightlife, there are plenty of bars and clubs to try out.|||pittsburgh can be boring BUT you can ding much to do...pitt basketball games are always fun and nationally renowned...football games (high school, college, or steelers) are fun because football of all sorts is huge here...also pirates games are fun, beautiful and cheap|||Drink,Fun parks and generally pissing about...pittsburg is a fine environ for such piss taking...enjoy buddy!|||go to pittsburgh NHL hockey games especially to c sidney crosby, evgani malkin and fleury

we went to the steelers field and it seemed really run down. But there are some good restaurants and clubs there
Hello, I own a local BBQ restaurant and I am looking to begin vending some of our food at local fairs and festivals in the Pittsburgh area this summer. I was wondering if there is a resource or website that lists all fairs or festivals that utilize food vendors in Pittsburgh and all surrounding areas (Allegheny County, Washington County, Westmoreland County, etc). I have been able to find sporadic information but I was curious if there was a single resource that listed this information. Any insight would be great. Thanks!|||I live in Pittsburgh too! All the news websites (kdka, wpxi, etc.) will list all the festivals and other things like that that will happen over the summer. They should start listing them soon. So keep checking them and when they list an event (they'll normally list contact information for the event too like a phone number or email address) contact the people running it and see if they're interested in you. Good luck!|||Call the Pittsburgh chamber of commerce. If they don't know about the activities coming to town (but this is what I believe would be the most direct source of the info you want), ask the chamber of commerce "who would vendors have to contact to acquire permits for the activities" then call them. Good Luck I love BBQ|||Well if you Google something broad like festivals in this or that place then it'll bring up numerous places.

My fiancee and I are planning on staying in a hotel in downtown Pittsburgh after our wedding, because its convienent and we're already doing something else for our main honeymoon.
What hotel is nice, but cheap and what else can we do, considering it will be late in the evening? BESIDES SEX haha|||Consider staying at the Sheraton in Station Square. Rooms are around $120 a night, and the hotel is located in a fantastic area. Station Square has so much stuff to do, especially at night.
The Sheraton is right next to a restaurant called The Melting Pot. After 9 PM, they have a special for $38 per couple. You get a cheese fondue, chocolate fondue and a bottle of wine. I don't know if you're familiar w/the restaurant but you have your own little stove top on your table, and you cook your own food. The late night special is awesome, and romantic.
If you are staying on a Saturday night, you have to wake up Sunday morning and get brunch at the Grand Concourse. It's the best breakfast buffet in the world. They have every kind of food you could ever imagine for breakfast, along with a donut maker & banana's foster made fresh. It almost feels like a dessert bar. It's delicious.
In the evening, besides The Melting Pot, there's also a Buca, a Hardrock Cafe, frequent concerts at the Ampitheater, water shows outside by the river in Bessemer Court, shopping in the Station Square Mall, and more. It's fun having a few drinks at 5ive Bar, which is right by the hotel, part of the mall. If it's warm, you can sit outside & have a drink in the lounge area. It's a fun place!
That's just my recommendation. In the middle of the city, there are other hotels, but less to do. Station Square is the place to be in Pittsburgh. =-)
Going to Pittsburgh for the first time next weekend, and there are so many options! Help me out!|||I would probably advise you based on where you were staying. I would suggest you stay near the stadium. There are many bars in the area and all of them will be full of Steeler fans having a great time.
In the area:
mcFaddens
Jerome Bettis Grill
Hi Tops
Finnigans Wake
Atrias.
Any of the bars along Carson Street on the Southside. Looking for a neighborhood kind of place, try Inter Mission on Carson Street or the Carson City Grill, or Shootz. One thing you can say about the Burgh, there are bars everywhere to watch the game.

Congrats! Let's go Pens to the Stanley Cup! Yeh, live in the Pittsburgh, PA area.|||Woo Hoo!
And for you whiners who cry "band wagon", I've been a fan since the early 80's. That's pre-Lemieux, and it was a brutal time to love the Pens.|||I think that I've run out of teams in the playoffs that I can bring myself to root for.|||LETS GO PENS|||I'm thinking I have to go and get me an Eastern Conference Champs shirt in the morning.
Yeah, it's the greatest! :) I'm so excited! Woo hoo!|||I think the Pens are definitely gonna win the cup this year! GO PENGUINS GO!!! Man, I wish I lived in Pittsburgh!|||I can say this "I'm Proud of These Guys" Coming Back Staying Strong,Growing, Maturing and Now Back in the Stanley Cup Finals, Now One team and Four Wins stand in Between the PENS and LORD'S STANLEY CUP, This Time We Will Get and Pittsburgh will get another Championship Title to be Proud of.
GO PENS|||now for the cup|||Choooooo chooooooo
All aboard the Penguins Bandwagon!
Although I'm not sure how many more people cant fit, it's overflowing already.
But congrats to the Pens anyways|||At the beginning of the season I said that the Pens had NO CHANCE of making it back to the Finals. But the Pens did EVERYTHING they needed to in order to make it possible. They fired whiner Michel Therrien and got a GREAT guy in Dan Bylsma. They added MUCH needed depth, and they also have the been there factor. This team is much better than a year ago. They are much more prepared too. All I have to say is GOO WINGS!!!!!!!!!! I'm more nervous about the Finals this year (assuming the Wings will be there anyways). Last year it was a given that the Wings would win. This year... not so much. I do think the Wings will pull it out, but it will be MUCH tougher and the Pens do have a great chance to win it all. Especially if Lidstrom and Datsyuk remain injured.|||It's all the way for the Pens! I can't wait to see it, let's go!|||I don't understand why Wings fans are so confident. Already counting out the Hawks and everything. Way to make yourselves look even more less respectable.|||Great accomplishment... but the goal of the season is still far from over.
Let's represent the Eastern Conference well!
GO Penguins! Let the thumbs come down... as I'm still sure the amount of Penguin haters outweigh the bandwagoners!|||I think someone's gonna need to bust out a shovel, cuz a broom just won't handle that sweep.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are going to go all the way, regardless if they play the Red Wings or the Blackhawks. They just look too good this year.
Malkin lead the NHL in points during the regular season, and now him and Crosby lead the playoffs too.|||I'm pretty sure there are far more bandwagon Wings fans than Pens fans. The Pens have only won two cups. The Wings win two cups every five seasons. I live an hour from Detroit and suddenly I see people who have never uttered the word 'hockey', wearing Wings crap. Hope the Pens find a way to win!|||I think it was inevitable. Although the refs were not calling penalties equally. The Pens got away with stuff and the Canes were called for weak penalties. But that's because Crysby gets babied.
Congrats anyway.|||congrats to the pens and good luck
defenders of the cup ive lived in both cities and i would choose pittsburgh over detroit any day, its a much nicer city less crime and i found the people are alot nicer in the burgh|||I hate it!
I'm cheering for 29 other teams before Pittsburgh.|||Woooooooohoooooooooooooo!!!!!!|||Yeah now the Wings are going to the Stanley cup and they are going to beat the pens. Im not suprised|||Who's the Red Wings again?|||Means NOTHING, really.
edit:
Go Pens Go, based on my experience, you DON'T WISH you lived in uh hum, Pittsburgh!
Let me add......Eastern Conference Champs or Stanley Cup Champs? Conference Champions means nothing but it gives you the right to play for the Stanley Cup, so again I say it MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
EDIT:
Keep the thumbs down coming, ROLMFAO! I have an idea, take your thumbs out of your bandwagon, lazy a**ses, "burghers".
What are you going to cry about this time around when Detroit repeats?|||LOVE It GOOOOOO pens BEAT Detroit REVENGE on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My wife, my daughter and myself our moving from the Cleveland area to the Pittsburgh area, and was wondering of some NICE areas of Pittsburgh? Thank you very much.|||North Hills, North Allegheny, Pine Richland, etc north of the city are all good. Most of the suburbs in general are good, but City schools aren't so great. The South Hills also has some very nice schools like Mount Lebanon, Upper Saint Clair...|||Of the many good areas is North Huntingdon, Westmoreland County, about 30 miles SW of Pittsburgh, served by the Norwin School District.
I am organizing a trip to go to an upcoming anime convention in Monroeville, Pennsylvania (next to Pittsburgh) and I need to transport around 20 students to the convention cheaply since we have to raise the money. So how much does or would it cost?|||I suggest renting a bus or 2-3 vans. Prices depends on the rental places in your area. '
You must be going to the Monroeville Expo Mart next to the Mall on William Penn Highway. I live in Monroeville, Pa
My sister just started going to college in Pittsburgh, and I need a way to visit her without emptying my bank account. I live in the Newtown/Yardley area of Bucks county. Does anyone know a reasonable way to make the trip?|||Bicycle!
There's some great cycling out that way!|||i don't know how far you have to travel,but you might want to check out prices for greyhound bus travel,it's cheaper than a cab,and way better than killing yourself riding a bike.
Yes, I know, it is sad, but I am a Pittsburgh Pirates fan, despite the fact that they have been terrible since I was in middle school. Any guesses on how many games they will win this year? Any hope soon for the Buccos?|||Even as optimistic as I am, I do not look for the Pirates to win much more than 75 games. The only way they even get near .500 this year is IF their pitching staff does a remarkable turnaround from last year. You can expect some improvement now that Joe Kerrigan is the pitching coach. Also, the Bucs must still add a right-handed power bat,one good experienced pitcher and bench help. They now have at least 4 players to build around (McLouth, Doumit, Maholm and Capps), but still are a year or two away from being competitive.|||The Pirates might win 75-80 if they get all their players to work together and use the prospects they got from the Red Sox, and Dodgers, and I know for a fact that Brandon Moss is a great hitter, since I'm a Redsox fan I respect the Pirates for the players that came from their, namely Bay, Nady, and McClouth( sorry if I get his name wrong)...You Pittsburg fans have a shot in being Competitive in ur division if the team can pull a miracle in their pen and rotation...|||60 - 65 and no, there's no hope in the near future.
There's no hope for a lot of teams until something is done about the gap in payrolls.
Don't get too excited about the "feel good" teams like Tampa Bay. Remember, Colorado was a World Series contender two years ago, and where are they now? It's too bad, because I can remember when the Bucs were a good team. That's going way back into the late 80s and early 90s.|||maybe 65
I have no disrespect for your team but why do they constatly remove yound talent? they always start to build up and then your GM gives someone away.
But who knows maybe thell have a rays season and make it to the WS|||Five. Just like their number of world series wins.|||I will say 50 if they are lucky.|||All of them that they have the higher score in.|||around 70-75.|||maybe 75-80 games|||about 60 maybe|||they will go 79 - 83|||About 2
go phills hahahaah pirates suck so bad
I'm from Oil City which isn't too far from Pittsburgh and I'm just starting to get into baseball some more, but I know Pittsburgh is doing terrible when will we get better?|||They need to have the farm kids come up - which will be 3 years or so, and they need to keep their talent on the squad... which requires $$.
Pitching is looking better lately, particularly Duke. If they have the young arms in a few years, they'll finally have a winning season.|||Not until they spend some money I don't really think Pittsburgh cares about anything besides the Steelers|||Look at it this way....at least things cant get any worse! :)|||When their management stops trading away all of its good players|||least things cant get any worse!|||looks like in about 2-5 years when alvarez, tabata, and other big prospects get to the majors|||Once Andrew McCutchen, Pedro Alvarez, Jose Tabata, Brad Lincoln, Garrett Jones, and Brian Friday reach their full potential.|||If I could honestly tell you that, I could pick the winning numbers for tonights Pick 6, and I'd rather pick the correct numbers.
Bird experts,
I live about an hour south of Pittsburgh, and over the winter while walking my dog in some brush and undergrowth, I stumbled upon a buch with several Ruby Crowned Kinglets in them.
I've never seen a Ruby Crowned Kinglet in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Is it rare for them to be here? As in rare enough to warrant reporting the sighting to wildlife officials?|||It's not worth a writeup but it's a feather in your birding cap, so to speak. You just saw one that was migrating a bit early. They are usually seen in your area during spring and fall migrations.
We live in the first floor apartment of a three story, three apartment house in Pittsburgh, PA. For all 3 tenants we are only provided one parking spot. Is there a rule or regulation that states that each unit must be provided with x number of spots? We do have on street parking but it is horrible and our cars keep getting hit. If anyone knows of any codes or where we could find them it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!|||You might want to check with the local Apartment Association or Housing Authority.

I am planning on being in the Pittsburgh area and wondered what there is to do that is fun there. It will be me, my wife, and our 1 year old child.|||Assuming you are referring to Pittsburgh, PA (there is a Pittsburgh, CA), you can:
* See if the Gateway Clipper fleet is running. That's a winner you can go on a casual, slow family boatride. But wear some warm clothes. The tour boats have inside sections so this can still work out okay. Look them up under the "Gateway Clipper Fleet" on the net.
* Take an incline ride up to Mt. Washington and visit the overlook. Bring your camera. The incline is a blast.
* The Pittsburgh Science Center should be open.
* If you have a ride, you could go to South Park (in the South Hills) and visit the Game Preserve. It is free, and there are fenced in buffalo there you could show your little one. Park is on the web. Nice to drive through. Again it is free.
* The Aviary on the North Side. Should have listed this one higher. Big family attraction. All kinds of exotic birds and shows. Not real expensive. Easy access from town. Your child will be able to offer food to the birds in one of the areas.
* The Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium. Petting zoo is available if it is open.
I'm looking to move back to my hometown of Pittsburgh and need to find a real estate agent. Where should I look? I need someone patient and ethical as I do not have a large down payment to work with.|||There are several ways to find a good agent in your hometown.......The first thing you need to understand is that it does not matter how much money you have as a down payment in order to get an agent that is patient and ethical. You will have to decide if the agent that you are dealing with has those qualities.
Here are a couple ways;
Go to your hometown and walk through some real estate doors.
If you can't go to your hometown first, then get on the phone and call at least three offices and speak with the agent on duty. Ask for listings to be emailed to you and then sit back and see who comes through and the differences that comes with the same search perimeters. After having the information sent to you over a period of time, then you will be able to see which agent fits your needs best. If you don't think that any of the agents are a good fit to you, then keep looking. That agent is out there.

Contact several mortgage lenders in the area and explain your situation. They work with real estate agents all day and know who is pleasant to work with and who is a pain. Some agents specialize in working with buyers and can help make the transaction go smoothly for you. You will also know after talking to several lenders which one of them you would like to work with. Also, talk with your friends and family there - if they have purchased recently, they should know of a good agent.|||There is no ultimate answer, however, do your own private research. strall the city, look around and notice who are the players in the area. go to their websites, search for testimonials and done deals. visit them personally (this should give you a lot), try to contact their actual and recent clients. thats the best way to get reliable info from more sources!

Is there a company that does this type of thing? The birds are my babies and Im terrified to move them.|||They would probably prefer to go with you instead of being shipped or handled by strangers. And you would be surprised to find that they can handle colder weather than you would think. The first general rule is that if the temperature is okay for you then it's probably okay for them.

Thanks!|||PORCUPINE / Fine vanilla ice cream covered in cake and chocolate.
Ingredients :
Ice cream:
1 陆 cups of sugar (the granulated kind)
8 egg yolks
2 teaspoons of vanilla
2 cups of cream
2 陆 cups of evaporated milk
1 tablespoon of butter
Cake:
6 eggs
2/3 cups of sugar
录 cup of prepared cake flour (not sure if it refers to boxed cake mix, or sifted flour)
录 cup of chu帽o (potato starch)
陆 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspooon of vanilla
3 tablespoons of melted butter (for cake)
3 tablespoons of melted butter (for greasing wax paper)
Chocolate Fudge:
1 戮 cup of evaporated milk
1 can (397 g / 1 1/4 cup) condensed milk
陆 cup of chopped semi sweet chocolate
4 tablespoons of Hershey's powdered cocoa
1 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of butter
1 cup of slivered almonds, peeled and toasted
How to prepare it:
Ice cream:
Place the evaporated milk in a pot and heat until just warm. Beat the egg yolks until thickened and gradually add the sugar. Take the warmed milk and add it gradually to the egg yolk mix, beating all the time. Put the mixture back into the pot and heat at low flame. Stir until the foam disappears, Add the butter and mix. Take off the fire just before it boils (it must not boil). Pour into a bowl, let it cool and place in freezer. Allow it to freeze.
Beat the cream until thickened, like chantilly cream, and fold in the frozen ice cream mix, place back in the freezer for 8 hours.
Cake:
Lightly beat the egg whites, add the yolks and continue to beat. Add the sugar and beat for 20 minutes. Lower the speed and add the chu帽o, the flour, the salt, the baking powder, melted butter and the vanilla. Mix well and pour on a baking sheet that has been previously covered with buttered and floured waxed paper. Bake at 400 掳F (200 掳C) for 12 to 15 min.
Take out of the oven, turn over onto a floured kitchen towel laid on a flat surface and remove the waxed paper.
Line a bowl with plastic film or aluminum foil, this is to make unmolding easier. Cut the cake and line the sides and base of the bowl. Fill the center with Ice cream and cover with cake. Press firmly and return to freezer.
Chocolate Fudge:
Melt the chocolate and mix it with the milks and the sugar. Dilute the powdered cocoa in in hot water and strain through a sieve. place everything in big pot and set to boil, stirring constantly, until thickened, and you can see the bottom of the pot. Add the butter, allow it to cool.
Two hours before serving, unmold the ice cream onto a round plate and cover it entirely with the chocolate fudge/
Stick the toasted almonds into the cake so it looks like a porcupine.
10 portions
Note- I'm not sure about the potato starch, but I guess you could use plain cornstarch for this as well.
Latin American nations to not have evaporated dry milk, so use canned.
The flour you need for the cake not to stick onto the kitchen towel so it will not stick onto it, like you would for jelly roll.

2.To prepare the cake batter: Beat together the margarine, butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy and has a very light yellow color (about 4 mins).One by one add the eggs and continue beating about a minute after adding each new egg. Slowly add the lime peel and the vanilla. Add one-third of the orange juice, and when it is well mixed, add one-third of the flour. Repeat adding the flour and juice in thirds and keep whisking until all is well-mixed before adding the next third. As soon as you have stopped mixing the last batch of flour, turn off the mixer, and you should have obtained a fluffy batter with smooth and even consistency.
3.Pour half the pineapple mixture in each baking pan. Make sure you do not disturb the greased and floured bottom in the pan. Pour half the batter in each pan. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean (about 30 mins). While the cake is baking, prepare the meringue.
4.To make the meringue: Prepare the caramel by boiling sugar and water over a very low heat until it reduces to a quarter of the original quantity. Make sure it doesn鈥檛 burn. In the meantime whisk the egg whites in a glass or stainless steel bowl until it forms peaks. Slowly add the sugar until it is completely mixed. Add the salt and cream of tartar while still whisking. Very slowly pour the caramel into the mixture while beating at high speed until all is mixed.
5.Cool down cakes to room temperature. Cut any crust that might have formed. Join both cakes marmalade side in. To decorate the cake spread the meringue on top and around the cake, adding decoration as you want to.

I've never seen so many horrible calls in one game. At times it seemed they were deliberately trying to tone down the Pittsburgh defense. If I were James Harrison, I might seriously think about retirement. It seems if he even breathes crooked he draws a flag, and he's by no means a dirty or arrogant player. He plays extremely hard on every play. Just curious about other people's opinion...Thanks!!|||@ Steeler Blow, The thing is you don't watch every Steelers game week in and week out like the Steelers fans do.
You see an occassional game here and there or a highlight reel and if there is a controversial call that goes Pittsburgh's way by the letter of the law you assume all the calls go their way all the time.
If the Steelers have the Refs in their pocket then why haven't they won the last 5 Super Bowls?
Just 2 weeks ago the NFL apologized to the Steelers for two 4th quarter blown calls that allowed Cincy back in the game.
You bring up the Dolphins fumble this year. Guess What?
There really wasn't any clear evidence who recoverd the ball and the rule cleary states that the benefit of the doubt goes to the offense. If you don't like the rule then watch another sport.
I guess you forgot about Polamalu's int vs the Colts in 2005 playofs whe he had clear possession and basically won the game but the ref overturned a call by using an explanation he made up on the field that the next business day the NFL apologized for.
Then in 2007 David Garrad in a playoff game ran for a first down on 4th down that set up a game winning FG and Harrison had the play stopped but was tackled and no hold was called and the NFL apologized that week as well.
Your link to SB XL means nothing. The NFL head of officials at the time of SB XL stated again that the holding call on Lockleer in the 4th quarter was a hold and doesn't know why Leavy is cahnging his mind now. The Steelers LB was "Hooked" to the ground once he had the O Tackle beaten around the edge. Even Warren Moon of Seattle local radio agreed that they will call it everytime.
James Harrison is held almost every play and it gets called maybe once a game if we are lucky.
He's not dirty he just brings it all day and then O lineman and receivers cry because he catches them off gaurd when they get lazy.
Kiss the SIX!
It was the first time that I ever watched a game where I wondered if the Refs were really trying to aid the other team.
The Roughing the Passer call on Lamar Woodley when he barely toucched Campbell and then let up with his hands in the air and the ref still threw the flag.
The same call on James Harrison when he wrapped Campbell up at the waist and drove forward to make a tackle for a sack and they called it for driving the QB to the ground.
Then Ryan Clark leads with his shoulder to the back of a WR and they call him for helmet to helmet.
Then they call Ike Taylor for Pass Interference when he was stride for stride with the WR who ran his route too close to the sideline an stepped out.
Then they called a hold on a Steelers O lineman on a run when the Raider D lineman was taken out by his own team mate.
Then they called another hold that was way after the Steelers runner was around the corner and away from the infraction. That one was a hold but one that could have easily been over looked since it had no impat on the result of the play.
Oh well, guess what? The Steelers beat the Raiders and the Refs today.
It's just too bad Lebeau was senile during the Pats game and didn't press the WRs at the line and mix blitz packages like he did today. Instead he let Brady sit in the pocket all day while the DBs and LBs layed off 5 to 8 yds all night.|||Well, the fans of the other 31 teams will think we are just crying but that was one of the worst called games I have ever seen. I have a feeling James will get suspended and NOTHING will be done with Seymor just like the hit on Hines last week. It was an extremely flag happy game with a lot of phantom calls. Clark better note get fined for the helmet to BACK hit that was called helmet to helmet. I do find it hilarious there were over 150 penalty yards on the Steelers called and the Raiders only got to field goal position ONCE on the opening drive.
Also you KNOW it was bad when the announcers were saying how bad the calls were. They will probably get fined also, LOL.|||http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Super-Bowl-XL-head-official-admits-to-blown-call?urn=nfl-260901
I find it VERY ironic that Steeler fans seem to be having a fit today with refs...this is the first game in the past 5 years I can remember that the Steelers didn't get every break and seem to have the refs in their pockets...need we bring up the obvious fumble against the Dolphins...
The refs aren't trying to tone the Steelers down...maybe if the Steelers would start tackling guys instead of throwing their entire bodies at another player they wouldn't get all these flags...
And yes Harrison is a very very dirty player....don't let your bias towards being a Steelers fan blind you to that fact|||It was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse at the Detroit-Dallas game.|||A travesty.|||It's the same as it's been all year: Mediocre.|||Steelers won, with way more penalty yards, nuff said.

My assignment was:
The logo of the 6 time Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers has a mathematical legacy that goes back to Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Christopher Wren. Research this logo and explain its mathematical significance. Do you guys have any idea?|||As a Steelers fan this question got my attention and I was interested in seeing what I could come up with. I found some information about it. There's a lot of information & I couldn't post it all. Here's a little bit to get you started.
The Steelmark consists of three four-pointed starlike figures within a circle. The stars in the design approximate a type of geometric figure called an astroid, a particular type of hypocycloid with four cusps.
In geometry, a hypocycloid is a special plane curve generated by the trace of a fixed point on a small circle that rolls within a larger circle. It is comparable to the cycloid but instead of the circle rolling along a line, it rolls within a circle
For the hypocycloid, an example of which is shown above, the circle of radius b rolls on the inside of the circle of radius a. The point P is on the circumference of the circle of radius b. For the example a = 5 and b = 3.
These curves were studied by D眉rer (1525), Desargues (1640), Huygens (1679), Leibniz, Newton (1686), de L'H么pital (1690), Jacob Bernoulli (1690), la Hire (1694), Johann Bernoulli (1695), Daniel Bernoulli (1725), Euler (1745, 1781).
The cycloid was first studied by Nicholas of Cusa and later by Mersenne. It was named by Galileo in 1599. In 1634 G.P. de Roberval showed that the area under a cycloid is three times the area of its generating circle. In 1658 Christopher Wren showed that the length of a cycloid is four times the diameter of its generating circle. The cycloid has been called "The Helen of Geometers" as it caused frequent quarrels among 17th century mathematicians.|||The Chicago Bears' Dan Fortmann in 1936 was 20|||go do your own damn research kid.|||Football is a sport for muscle heads.

Pittsburgh has to win 2 in a row to believe that they have a chance at this thing. just think of how hard it is for them to win the cup right now. wings has to be less then .500 for them to win the cup with 2 games at home still.

When the leagues were reorganized into three divisions each, they were made as even as possible, and each league had an East, a Central, and a West division. The West divisions each had four teams, and the others five.
For the NL, much of the team placement was a no-brainer: The Padres, Dodgers, Giants, and Rockies all fit neatly into the West, and the Mets, Phillies, Braves, Marlins and Expos (before they moved to Washington, though they still fit geographically) were easy fits for the East. Had they put the Pirates in the East as well, that would leave six teams in the East and four in each of the other two divisions, which would not be even enough to be acceptable.
As for why they don't move the Pirates now, I guess it's because there isn't really any other compelling reason...|||This way Penn fans get to see the Central and the East teams a lot. Why are the Yankees and Mets in different leagues? That's just how baseball does it.
Why are the Pittsburgh Steelers usually a force to be reckoned with. The Penguins are usually good and the Pirates always suck so bad that they have to give tickets away?|||Management!|||Its Simple. The pirates have become sort of a laughing stock in the Burgh. I live in Pittsburgh and the steelers are the only thing that we bleed for. The pirates were once a dynasty but in the latter years things have changed. People in Pittsburgh dont live for Americas pastime anymore. Report Abuse
|||we get players with potential and train them until they get really good and then we let someone else scoop them up and watch them make history... just sayin Report Abuse
|||First .......................root zoot blows.
second The owner ship of the pirates blow too.I stopped watching them in 92 with that frikin crappy throw Bonds made to let the slowest man (at the time) Sid Breem score the winning run.
I am so discusted with the pirates ownership . I would rather have Mark Cuban come in here and buy the team and at least make it exciting for awhile then to go throw ANOTHER losing season.
You hear players say they would rather retire then go to pittsburgh. WHO CAN BLAME THEM !
I am a Steelers ,Pens, and Pirates fan...but a fan can only take so much of 15 years of a losing season.|||because the steelers and pens owers actually care about the sports, not the money, with MLB's revenue sharing, the pirates make a lot more money than they would if they were a winning team. the pirates are owned by th nuttings who really only care about the money|||Their owner doesn't want to spend any money on players. I've never even seen them in the bids for anyone, either. They have a nice stadium but all teams give tickets away , they'd rather give up the seat price and make the money back up in hotdogs and beers.They make it to.|||Go Steelers =D
the Penguins are awesome cuz Sidney Crosby is amaziiiing.|||Because there's a salary cap in the NFL & NHL which provides for a more level playing field.|||The pirates just don't have a good team.|||ben and willie on steelers rocks and pirates don't have much or any good players

What fun is pittsburgh? I just moved here and I don't like it much. Any tips on what there is to do here?|||It'll get better once the summer rolls around! Tons of art shows in the city, the regatta, baseball games and there are great Broadway shows being booked. Also a ton of museums with great exhibits (try the Heinz History Museum on Smallman). The Strip District is great for food shopping and people watching. And bars! The South Side has some great places to eat, good shopping and, again, bars. Station Square will have a bunch of outdoor concerts, always has good places to eat. If you're looking for more of a community feel, try Shadyside (east of the city, borders Oakland and the Pitt/CMU campuses); there's great shopping on Walnut Street, The Center for the Arts off of Fifth Ave and lots of parks. Hope you have some fun!|||Kennywood, Idlewild, Sandcastle, The Zoo, Science Center, Sports Center, South Side, Boating, Malls, Wave pool, Snow Tubing, Golfing, Museums, Arcades, Swimming, Andy Worhol, ETC!

i love pittsburgh. and there are so many things to do here that i don't know what you are talking about. there are so many theatres downtown that you can catch plays and shows all the time. the museums in pgh are amazing. for example the andy warhol museum, the carnegie museum, the frick museum, the mattress factory. also, there are always gallery shows everywhere and most of them are free. in the summer pgh will have an arts festival. artists come from all over and show their work and there are free concerts at the point.
if you are interested in the bar scene there is shadyside, south side, the strip district, downtown, station square.
