Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in held on April 22, 1970. Earth Day is celebrated in spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Earth Day Network, a group that wishes to become the coordinator of Earth Day globally, asserts that Earth Day is now observed on April 22 on virtually every country on Earth. World Environment Day, celebrated on June 5 in a different nation every year, is the principal United Nations environmental observance. Many communities also celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of environment-related activities, the first of which occurred in Philadelphia in 1970 (starting April 16 and culminating on Earth Day, April 22.)

    First Watch-Daytime Cafe: A Fresh Idea and Worth the Wait


    April 18, 2010

    PITTSBURGH - This blog site is not a restaurant review site and I am not a food critic but I wanted to pass along some quick info on a nice cafe I visited.

    First Watch - The Daytime Cafe is the name of this national franchise. Two locations in Pennsylvania and both located in the Pittsburgh suburbs. The most recent opening is in the new Settlers Ridge/Market District Complex in Robinson Township.

    First Watch Cafe Pittsburgh

    I am going to keep this simple; I am not a critic, just a person who likes a nice meal. I stopped into First Watch this past Sunday. The place is not real big but very clean and quaint. Server Debbie was quick to my table. I ordered the daily special 'The Mushroom Melt' - Portobella Mushrooms on two eggs covered in some tasty sauce served with home fried potatoes and an English muffin. While waiting for my meal I played around on the iPhone to kill time. When Debbie delivered my meal she picked up the bill from my table and apologized for not having the meal to the table in ten minutes or less and said that my meal was free. I had to ask her to repeat herself and then repeat the policy (your meal delivered in ten minutes or less from the time the server submits the order ticket). I felt a little bad as it did not feel like a long wait and did not seem much more than ten minutes. The special was very good, warm and lived up to the description posted on the special board. I will definitely return to ‘First Watch’ not because I received a free meal and not to test out this ten minute policy again but because the service and food was very good and the menu is full of breakfast and lunch items traditional and healthy. Many great options reasonably priced.


    First Watch:
    We believe in putting our customers first.

    We begin each day at the crack of dawn, slicing fresh fruits and vegetables, baking muffins and whipping up our French toast batter from scratch. We’re committed to freshness—using some of the finest ingredients available—never compromising quality.

    Our unique Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch creations are freshly prepared to each order. When you arrive, we welcome you with a pot of our Sunrise Select® Premium Blend coffee, complimentary newspapers and Wi-Fi Internet access.

    We strive to provide unexpectedly extraordinary experiences to our customers everyday. It’s all part of our “YOU FIRST™” service philosophy—our commitment to doing whatever it takes to make our customers’ visits memorable.


    The Menu:
    First Watch offers an appetizing assortment of menu items, from traditional favorites—like eggs, pancakes, soups, salads and sandwiches—to our unique signature items—such as the Chickichanga™, Crepeggs™ and classic BLTE™ sandwich. Health-conscious since our inception, our “Healthier Side” features a variety of delicious options, including egg white omelettes, fresh fruit crepes and our signature Power Wrap™. And special requests are never a problem...it gives us the chance to be a special restaurant.


    The Hours:
    A daytime café, First Watch is open year-round from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM, excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.

    A Letter to Ben Roethlisberger

    Disclaimer: talent network, in and talent network news.com does not endorse or approve the content of this posting. The purpose and contents of this website are for finding out about our services general information and to offer buzzing entertainment stories


    DEAR BEN,

    Here's a tip, when giving your SECOND public statement surrounding a sexual assault case against you, try not to look like a rapist. I know its difficult for you and that you have come a long way from the Phat Farm dress shirts and Penny Hardaway high-tops look you had going when you first entered the league (I am willing to believe that the devil tee-shirt was borrowed), but couldn't you have at least shaved? Put on a three-piece suit? Not had a ridiculously greased back Rick Flair mullet? I was so nervous you were going to end your apology by screaming "WOOOOOOO!" that I almost didn't notice your total lack of sincerity. I've seen more heart felt apologies on Sober House II. Next time you allegedly assault a chick in a bathroom somewhere, you might as well let Dog the Bounty Hunter make your statement for you. The way your look is going, people may not even realize that a swap has been made. Just have him read it in the first person and tell him to think about dropping n-bombs to get him emotional. All Bounty Hunting aside, I think we both know that there is only one way to make sure there isn't a next time Ben: STOP ACTING LIKE A JAGOFF!


    Seriously dude, you have a 100 million dollar potential net worth, you are the face of the most storied franchise in football, and you live in a city where people literally rely on the Steelers for hope and happiness in their lives. No one is saying you can't have fun, but do you really need to be in a dirt bag college bar in some po-dunk town in Georgia getting blowies in a urine-puddled restroom? Your judgment is extremely questionable at best, and its time to take a look in that fogged up bathroom mirror that has confederate flag stickers and nazi quotes written all over it. You may not be guilty of rape, but you have to be responsible for the situations you put yourself in. You need to realize that your legacy and our collective future cannot afford to be put in some jager-bombed 20 year old's hands. So please STOP ACTING LIKE A JAGOFF!

    20 year olds Ben? Really? I cant stand to be around drunk 20 year old chicks and I have a net worth of $153.00; they are annoying, stupid and can't be trusted. You need to adjust your scope and start sniping cougars. An older woman will let you do the dirtiest things you can think of and ADD some crap you haven’t even thought of yet; then go over the playbook with you and give you a ride to practice the next morning. A cougar knows what's up and she is down to get filthy. You need a wily old vet who's battle-tested , not a skittish rookie who's never seen a regular season snap. 20 year olds got you into this mess Ben; cougars can get you out of it. But if you do decide to continue with the club hopping, for the love of Rod (woodson) STOP ACTING LIKE A JAGOFF!


    The thing you don't seem to be getting Ben is that this isn't just about YOU anymore, it’s about US. When you put on that jersey like it or not, you become a part of this family, you become part of our history, you represent a nation that spans the globe. Its goes beyond sports with this team. If you treat it with respect and honor and play your hardest, you will always be a celebrity in this town. We will eat at your restaurant even if the food is terrible, we will buy your book even if its poorly written and we will donate to your charity even if it’s not our cause. (Hell, if you make a miraculous play we will put your statue next to the Father of our nation in the Airport). But you better be humble and appreciate the privilege of playing for this organization and representing this city. People here don't expect anyone to be perfect, but they do expect someone to fully appreciate the opportunities they are given. When they feel like someone is ungrateful at every turn and acting like they are above the family code, people get pissed off. You are not above this family Ben. Redd up your act and STOP ACTING LIKE A JAGOFF!!

    With love,

    Steeler Nation




    Thanks to Comic Bill Crawford for his creativity and providing us with this letter to Ben.

    Hanging With Hines

    Welcome everybody who chooses to sit a spell and peruse my website. This blogging thing is kind'a interesting because it gives a different format to communicating all the chaos I get to encounter on this crazy ride called life.

    I have so many varied interests and I love to put thoughts down about everything from football, which is what I've loved since I can remember, to boxing and mixed martial arts.

    In kicking off this blog I wanted to share this morning's activities as I had the opportunity to visit the Banksville Elementary School and be the MC as part of the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association's promotion for healthy eating and healthy activities.

    The big cheese of the day was Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward. Hines got up and shared the importance of healthy eating and getting exercise with a group of kids that were energetic and revved up. Besides learning that Hines' favorite breakfast cereal was "Coco Puffs," what really caught my attention was when Hines had all the kids mimic what he does first thing in the morning...a "primal scream" at the top of his lungs. Somehow I can see Hines doing that; he's a different dude to be sure.
