Fly with Eagles,
not Pigeons!
Pigeons live in the past. They spend a lot of time talking about what was, what used to be and who did them wrong. They often focus on things they have no control over and rarely focus on the things that they can do something about. They don’t understand the reason that the rear view mirror is a lot smaller than the front windshield.
Pigeons love to make excuses. They live off of excuses. They often have things that come up that prevent them from moving forward. Family emergencies, situations at work and health issues often become their greatest excuse resource. What Pigeons don’t understand is that they are often creating these situations by their own conscious/subconscious thought patterns and expectations. They just get used to making excuses and if they can’t find one, they subconsciously create one. We call them Drama Pigeons! Click here for more »

Black purchases of newspapers and magazines grew 9.2% between 2006 and 2010, the latest data available. During the same period, whites’ purchases of print media declined 14%. Click here for more »

“Property Assessments in Allegheny County”
In 2007, Allegheny County taxpayers challenged the constitutionality of Pennsylvania’s base rate property valuation system in Clifton v. Allegheny County, 969 A.2d 1197 (Pa. 2009). In turn, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered Allegheny County to reassess all properties for the first time since 2002.
While tax payers hoped that the court-ordered reassessments would offer a solution for property owners paying more than their fair share of taxes; numerous mistakes in the reassessment process – some might say deliberate acts – have caused quite an uproar. While county executives focus on remedying a broken tax system, property owners want to know, what happens next? Click here for more »

The Pittsburgh Steelers is the team with the storied history – the Immaculate Reception, the Steel Curtain, Stallworth and Swann, the Terrible Towel, the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl, the longest defensive touchdown and most spectacular quarterback to receiver collaboration in Super Bowl history, (extraordinary feats occurring in the same game), and The Chief. Last but not least, the Black and Gold franchise is the team with the most Super Bowl victories and at this writing, has clinched a playoff berth and a first-week bye in yet another quest and pursuit of the Lombardi Trophy.
