I know, I know. WHAT is she yakking about now? I’ll start at the beginning.
The house we are in now was built in 1953 and had a septic system. Might have been fine back in the day but by the time I moved in it was a cranky and I swear, plotted against me just for giggles! I could do one load of laundry and then wait 5 hours and one person could take a shower. That was when it was having a happy day.By Sherry Pasquarello,WWH (Pittsburgh in the 60s) -

French heavyweight Cheick Kongo snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by knocking out Pat (HD) Barry in the first round Sunday night in the makeshift main event of a televised UFC card.
Kongo (26-6-2) was knocked down twice and looked out on his feet but somehow survived to stage the comeback. Barry (6-3) seemed fully in control but when he rushed in to finish the fight, he walked straight into a right to the head and vicious uppercut that knocked him senseless.

We know we’re creating problems that the next generation will be left to fix, so the least we can do is to give them the skills to fix them, and yet we’re still failing on a grand scale. The good news is that we’re discovering new ways to help them work out how to do this for themselves.We know we’re creating problems that the next generation will be left to fix, so... more

Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper released a statement on Monday, concerning a video that shows a fan being beaten by an officer at a Pirates game.
The video, which was posted on YouTube, apparently shows 41-year-old Scott Ashley confronting police after he was asked to leave Saturday night's game against the Colorado Rockies.
The video, shot by a fan at Saturday's game, has been posted on YouTube.
In his statement, Harper did not address specifics of the case, rather explained Pittsburgh police policy.
"The Bureau of Police recognizes that police officers, in the performance of their duties, will encounter situations where is necessary to use force in order to effect an arrest or otherwise protect the public welfare or as a means of protecting themselves. Officers shall only use a level of force that the officers might reasonably believe is necessary. Each Use of Force is documented and reviewed by each officer’s supervisor and members in their Chain of Command," the statement said.
"The actions of the subject in this incident which necessitated the Use of Force and the reasons why the officers used force are documented and reviewed. The City of Pittsburgh expressly forbids any Use of Force that is excessive. As a matter of policy this incident and all incidents where force is utilized are reviewed.
"The PBP recognizes the importance of video evidence when reviewing any interactions between the police and the public. This is demonstrated by the installation of video cameras in our patrol vehicles," Harper said in the statement.
In the video, police can be seen asking Ashley to leave the game. Ashley refuses, prompting the crowd to chant "USA," in a reference to the jacket Ashley was wearing.
According to the criminal complaint, police said Ashley was being unruly, used foul language and refused to leave the park.
Police said at one point, Ashley asked one of the officers to move so he could watch the game.
According to the police report, as police were escorting Ashley out of the park, a fan gave him a high-five. Shortly after that moment is when police said Ashley threatened and then slapped a PNC park employee, an action that can be seen on the video.
The video then shows police using a Taser and batons to get Ashley under control.
The Latest: Fan Still In Jail
"Not only could I see the action that transpired in the bleacher general admission area, where everything transpired, but also I got to see everything from the fan being tasered and beaten to the 'USA, USA' chants," said witness Zachary Weiss.
Pirates management released a statement saying they received several complaints about Ashley and asked him to leave and that when he refused and threatened the staff, it became a police matter.
Ashely is facing several charges including resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. As of Monday morning, he remained in the Allegheny County Jail.

I stumbled upon this local artist and I'm hooked! I've never seen anything like her before. She uses hip hop as a medium, but puts her own new age twist on it. If you're big on lyrics, listen close because this girl has a lot to say. Kellee Maize is a really unique artist with a lot of talent. Check her out!

A Pittsburgh man came back home after the holidays to find his house was completely gone. Where it stood was an empty lot, covered in hay. It turns out the city had demolished it, by mistake. They really meant to tear down the house next door. Whoops!
The man's West End home was slated for demo last year but he got a court order to stop it and made various improvements. The city acknowledged it made an error in totally ripping his house down. No news yet on how they plan on saying sorry.
