Dear 2011! You were the crappiest year I can remember. You brought nothing but pain, work without an end, deep sorrow, harm, worries and stress. You showed us from the very first beginning that you were going to annoy us…

When my brother Dan comes home to Erie for long holiday weekends, he, our mother and I usually plan a movie day. We go to the Blockbuster video store near our house, rent three or four movies and watch them back-to-back. But now that our Blockbuster is closing, we’ll have to find another rental site. [...]

I absolutely CANNOT believe that 2011 is over already! This has been a HUGE year for Click Chick Images and I couldn’t have done it without all of the best clients and blog stalkers in the world! SOO without further … Continue reading →

Well another year is almost down in the books.  I can honestly say that 2011 was the worst year that I can ever remember experiencing.  It started with witnessing a man die right in front of me, to being blind sided by my previous employer, t…

To be recognized with this honour is absolutely thrilling and I am both humbled and sincerely grateful. I discovered at an early age that all I’ve ever wanted to do is design. I feel enormously fortunate that I continue to be able to design and make products with a truly remarkable group of people here [...]

There’s a running trail beside the Bayfront Connector that may be a good, wide place to run. I’ve been doing a fair amount of running at Presque Isle, but the trail there is surprisingly narrow given how much use it gets. Still, at least it’s a nature-heavy trail. The Bayfront Connector goes past, uh, warehouses, [...]

The Erie BayHawks blew a 12-point, fourth-quarter lead in their 117-112 home loss against the Los Angeles D-Fenders on Thursday night. Erie (5-9),which has lost three of its last four games, will look to bounce back in Saturday’s 5 p.m. game at Canton against the expansion Charge (7-5). Canton won its first game against Erie, [...]

God bless him. We’ve seen this before in Erie. Power forward Ivan Johnson, 27, who was no stranger to picking up technical fouls playing for the BayHawks in the D-League last season, was whistled for one in his NBA debut Wednesday night for the Atlanta Hawks. Johnson replaced Tracy McGrady with 6:27 left in the game. [...]

ERIE, Pa. – Oliver McGlade’s half-court heave as the horn sounded hit nothing but net to give the Seton Hill men’s basketball team a stunning 103-100 double-overtime victory against Gannon in the 38th annual Porreco Cup championship game Friday n…

When Gannon loses a double-overtime game on a half-court heave like they did Friday night vs. Seton Hill, you’d think I’d feel awful. Surprisingly, I actually feel tremendous — I witnessed one of the greatest games in the history of the legendary Porr…

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Senior goaltender Max Strang picked up where he left off before the Christmas holiday, stopping 38-of-39 Alabama-Huntsville shots, as the Mercyhurst men’s hockey team defeated the Chargers 5-1 in Huntsville, Alabama on Friday night. …

Me? I think I’ll be hanging out at home. Mike and I had planned to go out (I’ve never gone out for New Years in my entire life) but he has to work early the next morning, so I think we’re going to stay in. There will be some Asti involved, though. Could those two be [...]

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – The Gannon women’s basketball team dropped the first of two games during the team’s trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Lady Knights’ first loss of the season came by a 57-54 final to University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras.

Well that didn’t take long. In an apparent bow to public pressure, Verizon Wireless announced this afternoon that it will drop a plan — announced only a day earlier — to start charging $2 for every payment subscribers make over the phone or online with their credit cards. That decision, reminiscent of a recent move [...]

Sometimes, I know, my recipes aren’t as simple as we’d all like them to be. I like taking my time on more interesting ones, so I have something to actually say about them, especially in my column that runs in print on Wednesdays. But I do get complaints from people who don’t get paid to [...]

Let’s face it — the biggest fashion news of 2011 had to be William and Kate’s wedding and everything that woman has worn since then. TV programs and websites profess that she’s bought a few dresses for $100 to $200. Those dresses sold out in minutes. What’s not to love about that for retailers? Her fave stores [...]
