Julie Pace, 16, of Summit Township, shot her first buck Nov. 28 on her family’s property in Union Township. She dropped the 4-point from 80 yards.

I’m not sure how to take this. A new study in the January issue of Pediactrics, a peer review journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, has established that children who do not have a strong emotional bond with their mothers during childhood are significantly more apt to be obese.

For information [...]

I’ve always thought that the popular coffee shop, which at one point was opening 7 new stores a day, used a rather gimmicky and cheap tactic to make drinks sound not only exaggerated in size but to also enhance their “intriguingly exotic” nature. The terminology is eloquent: therefore the coffee must be good. Logical.

I held off on getting a Tik-Tok and an iPod Nano a few months ago because I didn’t see the point of having a watch that wasn’t on most of the time. And earlier today I ordered a green iPod Nano and a Tik-Tok (the less expensive one). Why? Because the 1 GB iPod Shuffle [...]

Seems that Steelers LB James Harrison is getting some “threats” if you will when it comes to playing the big, bad 4-11 Browns this Sunday in Cleveland. It was Harrison that KO’ed Browns QB Colt McCoy in the game December 8th that cost him a shot to play two weeks ago against the Niners, and [...]

Dead end, 2007.

Congrats to second-year Steelers WR Antonio Brown, who today was named as the Steelers MVP after a vote of his teammates.
