8 Down- 8 to Go!



Half a season is over and the Pittsburgh Steelers are just getting into the meat of their season, the title for AFC North. The Steelers are now 2-0 in division play, defeating the Cleveland Browns in Sept, Cincinnati 24-13 Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Cincinnati now 2-5 (and the cellar dweller) was a team the Steelers were suppose to beat. The Bengals have a high powered offense lead by QB Carson Palmer and WRs Chad Johnson and TJ Houshmandzadeh, but the missing link to that offense was WR Chris Henry. Henry can spread the field and with the other two double teamed, he always managed to be open downfield and burn our secondary. Henry will be active for Dec 2nd.

The Steelers looked solid offensively executing a balance attack 50-50 passing and rushing. Fast Willie chalked up another 100+ yard day and I TD while Hines Ward collected 2 TDs and 88 yards receiving. Hines needs three more TDs to past former Steeler WR John Stallworth’s record for the most TDs by a Steeler WR. FB Dan Kreider sprained his ankle early in the first quarter (that’s because he hasn’t had many reps this season). When last reported, the ankle is better than anticipated and he may play against Baltimore.

The defense did have a stellar day, allowing 1 TD (2 field goals) and holding RB Kenny Watson to 88 yards rushing. They continue to disallow a 100 yard rusher against this defense. Tomlin and LeBeau coached the defense to understand that the Bengals offense would be gaining some ground in the passing game but were to hold them to no more than a field goal. My concerns in the future stem from the running game. Although Denver’s Travis Henry got 51 yards, Kenny Watson rushed for 88. The missing link is DE Aaron Smith (knee), one of the best run-stuffers in the NFL. It was last reported that the knee will be taped up for practice. He has progressed in his rehab and may be able to play against Baltimore.

Cause for concern…(yep, I can’t believe it either) special teams. Cincinnati’s WR/return man Glenn Holt returned kicks of 42, 34 and 33 yards.

Whatever is going on or not going on with special teams needs corrected. We can’t go back.

Note….The Steelers will have a final meeting with the Bengals at home Dec 2. 2005 & 2006 the Steelers won at Paul Brown and lost at Heinz Field.

Monday night, the Steeler vs the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field. The Ravens are coming off a bye and tied with the Cleveland Browns (4-3) and 0-2 in division play with a loss to Cincinnati and Cleveland. The Ravens offense is anemic. They have managed 3 TDs in the last 3 games (5 all season). Against the Buffalo Bills week before last, the Ravens scored 14 points against a defense that allowed an average 23 points per game. QB Steve McNair has been in and out of the offense due to injuries to his back and groin and is listed as probable for Monday night’s game. The Ravens offense average 18 points per game and have been plagued with penalties, 57 for 438 yards to the Steelers 31 for 226 yards. The receivers have been ineffective. Using their West Coast style offense, the Ravens receivers are subjected to being tackled after a catch limiting the ability to move the chains or lengthening the field on 3rd and long situations. Other injuries include: McNair’s go-to-guy WR Derrick Mason questionable and WR Mark Clayton still battling leg injuries and long with TE Todd Heap. Our Steeler corners will need to keep an eye out for WR Demetrius Williams can go deep. RB Willis McGahee (formerly of the Buffalo Bills) was added to improve the running game and averages 4 yards per carry and has 2 TDs to his credit. RB Musa Smith and Mike Anderson have been used sparingly thus far this season.

The Ravens D is not as scary as they use to be, but they still have their key components. Thus far, the Ravens D has 10 INTs to their credit, 4 to FS Ed Reed alone. He is the one to watch out for. He is an all-purpose, multi-faceted and dangerous. Although Joey Porter is no longer a Steeler, there is still no love lost between these two teams. LB Ray Lewis will have his game face on. The Ravens are 3-0 at home and the Steelers 2-2 on the road. The last two meetings 2006, the Steelers lost 27-0 in Baltimore and 31-7 in Pittsburgh. There is an axe to grind here, so Let’s Go Steelers.

Things Done in Denver

So I dressed in black on Monday and pondered over what went wrong in Denver I came up with two key issues: 1) defense and 2) the run game.

Defense seemed to go downhill after DE Aaron Smith injured his knee during the Bronco’s first possession. With Casey Hampton and Troy Polamalu back you would have though the defense would have been stronger. Nick Eason replaced Aaron at DE and was no more effective than me sitting on the couch looking at him. The defense allowed QB Jay Cutler and the Broncos offense to convert 70% of their third down conversions.

And the offense faired no better. With Champ Bailey out and the Broncos run protection at an all time low, you would have though this would have been a run away considering how the Steelers thumped on the Seattle Seahawks two weeks ago. This was a disappointing loss to say the least. And it leaves me with concerns going into the next three weeks.

First of all, we don’t have to worry about another bye week. Apparently the Steelers should not rest on their laurels. We might want to remember that if they get to the playoffs. The Steelers won the Super Bowl in 2005 without any rest.

Secondly, the Steelers will face all three divisional foes in the next three weeks. Only Cleveland is the stronger of the bunch. (remember what I said after the Cleveland game…we need to watch for them). Baltimore still has not offense. Their running game is shotty at best and the defense is no longer scary. Cincinnati is nothing without WR Chris Henry. If you double team CJ and TJ, Chris will burn you and since he is still on suspension there is no reason not to beat up the Bengals besides they still have no defense. A win over the Steelers Sunday would move the Bengals to within one game of first place in the AFC North. It would also be the Bengals' first victory at home over the Steelers in nearly six years

It will be up the Steeler D to confuse QB Carson Palmer into mistakes. He can be rattled and rattled he must be. The Bengals are trying to dig themselves out of the hole they created, 2-4 in the division standing-cellar dwellers and the Steelers need to keep them there. This is the first meeting with this team, and when the Steelers meet with them again Dec 2 it will be with WR Chris Henry in the line up.

The Steeler D still have not allowed a 100 yard rusher thus far this year. RB Rudy Johnson is questionable with a groin strain and has averaged 3 yards per carry so far this year. He is not what he once was and neither is the offensive line (which about the same as the Steeler o-line and that is not saying much). However back up RB Kenny Watson had a great day running all over the NY Jets on Sunday rushing 130 yards and 3 TDs. So it seems the Bengals are getting back on track with their running game.

Tomlin was quoted to say in his press conference, 6 games does not determine the character of a football team. If that is the case, the Steelers better plan on stepping up their game against this division opponent. After the Bengals are the Ravens, then the Browns. Lets’s Go Steelers

How To Deal With A Man You're Dating When He Makes Less Money Than You?

- By Gil Bryan, "The Dream Motivator"

We've all been taught that money doesn't buy happiness – but this is the real world, and we all know how stressful it can be to worry about money!

If you're a typical single woman, you work hard to pay bills, buy food, clothes and gas, and keep a roof over your head.

You've gone through a lot to establish your financial identity. You deserve to be proud of yourself for achieving all of that on your own.

But out in the dating world you're going to be meeting men who may not make as much money as you do.

And I know there are some women that this is not an issue for them. So it's especially daunting for them, when the dating ritual goes sour.

So below I listed some things to watch out for when dating a man that makes less than you do and some suggestions on how to deal with this situation:

Monitor your attitude

Many women simply refuse to date men who make less money than they do, just as some women won't date short men, men of another race, or men with different religious beliefs. And while it makes sense to avoid hooking up with a man who's frequently in the unemployed state, refusing to date someone based on their income really limits your dating options.

If you're a lawyer and you meet a wonderful man who owns a small coffee shop or you're a nurse and he's a delivery driver, are you going to determine if he’s a good man or a man worth you dating based on the size of his paycheck?

Remember, most millionaires were dead broke before they made their fist million!

But with that being said, if you do start dating a man who makes less money than you he may have a few more issues with the situation than you do. And as a wise woman you'll have to be sensitive to his feelings.

Understand that no matter what you see in the media nor how many men may deny it, the truth is most men have their self-esteem and identity wrapped up in how much they earn. So one of the worst things you can do to a man that your dating or in a relationship with is to emasculate him with respect to money… especially out in public.

Making comments like, “I wish we could come with you, but we can’t afford it” said in front of a group of people will encourage your man to start looking for another woman.

Now maybe in your mind you may not be thinking that he's less of a man (or anything else negative) because you make more money than he does, but comments like that may make him feel like your ‘putting the slap down’ on his manhood.

Make him feel like he’s the man

Even though your man may make less money than you, you still want to make him feel like he’s the man. Go ahead and let him buy you flowers, take you to dinner, and buy you small, inexpensive gifts. And when he does, thank him as if he just bought you the world. But don’t thank him because he bought you the gift, thank him for showing you, by this gesture, that he was thinking about you.

Avoid out doing his gifts

Avoid giving him elaborate, expensive gifts, even if you can easily afford them. Later, if your dates turn into a long-term relationship, how you spend your money shouldn't make a difference. But if you give him a big-screen TV or buy him an expensive suit while you're in the early dating stages, the fact that he can't do similar things for you may bruise his ego. And you know how we men are about our egos!

Remember I’m talking about a real man here. If your man is a bum and looking to feed off you then that’s a whole different ball game.

Set high goals but be realistic

Remember it’s o.k. to set high standards but make sure your standards are based on a true foundation and not these worldly ideals puffed up by society. These shall soon fade away.

Don't miss out on an opportunity to date that great guy that works on your car, teaches at your child's school or waits tables at your favorite restaurant. Heck, at least he has a job.

Be open-minded. There are a lot of really smart, loving, unattached guys who are attractive in non-traditional ways.

Why Did I Get Married? Movie Review

as reviewed by bonita lee penn, The Soul Pitt


What else would a bunch of beautiful and intelligent black females do on a warm Friday evening? Go to the movies? My sisters and sisterfriends met at the Waterfront praying the 8:30pm showing of Why Did I Get Married? wasn't sold out. Well it was, we brought tickets for the 10:15pm show and headed to a nearby bar and grill to drink and stuff down some cheap appetitizers. We were informed by one of Loewes Customer Service Representatives to be back by 9:30pm, warning us that long lines had formed for previous showings.

After drinking a few decent but pricey drinks and fighting over why should we pay for stale nacho chips we all headed back over to take our place in line. Thank goodness we were warned as the line did get long after only a few moments of standing. The line consisted of sister friends all having the same idea of spending a great Friday evening with friends and with Tyler Perry and his friends in Why Did I Get Married?

Tyler Perry fans have been by his side since the inception of the stage plays and their introduction to the fast wit and faster tongue of his Madea character. He has expanded his stage plays to movies and even a television show, The House of Payne. One show which I'm not totally thrilled with regarding the personalities of the characters or the acting, but the show does have Tyler's signature lessons learned story lines, which to me saves the show.

My first judgement of the movie was strictly built around the short snips of beautiful scenry and the promise of drama. This led me to wonder what type of movie would this be? How would it work being a cross between Madea and The House of Payne? Naw! It wouldn't work and thank goodness Why Did I Get Married ? is in a category all it's own.

The 10:15 show was filled to capacity. The movie started off a little shaky with Janet Jackson's character, Patricia. Some of my movie companions felt she was not right for this role, I disagreed, her character was the one grounded female character, I personally find most grounded people are not lively, they are more calm than most and she played this part well. The movie introduced us to four professional upwardily mobile black couples and their personalities. Even though they seem to be well off economically, the audience soon became aware they have the same relationship problems everyone we know has. Ranging from infidelity, being taken for granted, verbal abuse, career vs. marriage, financial, and children issues. All their secrets rolled out the closet during their yearly couples retreat, taking place in the mountains.

Believe me when I say I truly didn't see this much drama coming to a head, but it did and the audience loved it. The actors gave depth to their on screen characters and real emotional pain showed through on several occassions, giving it a real connection to the audience. It doesn't matter the audience gender, age or ethnicity, this movie will touch everyone. The couples who have made it in their careers, but underneath the money, furs, houses and the positions, they were regular people just like us. They have our same fears and short comings. To see the realness and the wide range of emotional turmoil on screen, acted out by black actors and not the sterotypical black drama was a relaxing and refreshing experience. Thank you Tyler Perry for bringing real black folks to the fore front of America.

I cannot conclude this review without giving props to our favorite couple Angela and Marcus (played by Tasha Smith and Michael Jai White). This couple had a common issue I have noticed in my own relationships and those of friends. A clashing of two strong personalities, neither one wanting to submit to the other, feeling it would be an admission of weakness, neither willing to trust the other enough to share their true feelings and admit their fears. The other most enjoyable character was Troy, the Sheriff played by Lamman Rucker. Ahh yes, everyone was woooing when he came on the scene. The Sheriff was our Knight in Shining Armour, the man who unselfishly was able to see deeply into a woman's soul and accepts her for the beauty that shines from within and the man who enjoyed communicating his needs, his dreams, his fears and had no second thoughts in loving a woman the way God wants them to be loved.

At the end of the movie the final verdict of my sisters and I were, Why Did I Get Married? was an excellent movie, emotionally well written, strong characters, real life situations, drama, soul searching and a great sound track.

Jena 6 Panel Discussion

YWCA Greater Pittsburgh Office of Racial Diversity and Inclusion

Hosts Jena 6 Panel Discussion

Pittsburgh, PA (October 17, 2007) - The Louisiana racial discrimination case known as Jena 6 has created a lot of attention and racial tension within the past months. In the year 2007 how can such racism still exist? Or does it? Can a Jena 6 situation happen in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area?

These questions and others will be addressed during the November 13, 2007 Jena 6 Brown Bag Lunch and Panel Discussion sponsored by the YWCA Greater Pittsburgh Office of Racial Diversity and Inclusion. Bev Smith, host of “Our Voices,” a syndicated nightly radio show broadcasted locally on AM 860 and nationally on the American Urban Radio Network, will serve as moderator for the event. Panelists will include Esther L. Bush, President and CEO of the Urban League of Pittsburgh; M. Gayle Moss, President of the Pittsburgh NAACP; and Thomas Farrell, Attorney for the ACLU Pittsburgh.

“This case has cast a national spotlight on the racial inequalities that continue within the criminal justice system and the existence of everyday discrimination faced by African Americans and other people of color,” says Debra Mason, Director of the Office of Racial Diversity and Inclusion (ORDI). “We hope this panel discussion will shine some light on solutions, to begin building bridges cross culturally and to help us to change racial thinking and actions.”

Mason points out, “It is necessary for our office to sponsor such an event and demonstrate that we are serious about the mission to empower individuals, organizations and communities to engage in educational and communication opportunities that address racism, oppression, diversity, and inclusion.”

In operation since 1996, the ORDI works to prepare individuals within the greater Pittsburgh region as culturally competent members of an increasingly diverse community and workforce. ORDI helps foster sensitivity towards and an appreciation of diversity, develops behaviors that contribute to a non-discriminatory, respectful workplace, and identifies ways in which promoting diversity can benefit individuals, organizations, and businesses.Programs include “Cultural Diversity-Building Bridges,” “Community Dialogues on Racism,” “White Privilege and Anti-Racism,” “Internalized Racism,” and “Youth/Teen Diversity.”

The Jena 6 case focuses on six African American high school teens ages 15 to 17 who were arrested last December after a school fight in which a white student was beaten and suffered a concussion and multiple bruises. The six African American males were charged with attempted murder and conspiracy. The African American students face up to 100 years in prison without parole. The fight took place amid mounting racial tension after a black student sat under a tree in the schoolyard where only white students sat. The next day nooses were hanging from the tree.


For questions about the Jena 6 Panel Discussion or to inquire about The Greater Pittsburgh YWCA Office of Racial Diversity and Inclusion please contact Debra L. Mason, Director, at 412-255-1451 or email dmason@ywcapgh.org

The Death of A Baller


Greater Love Outreach is currently accepting bookings for our 2007-2008 season of "The Death of A Baller"

Booking are now being received for the 2007-2008 season of “The Death of A Baller, produced and directed by Dr. Charles Upshur. The main character, Nino Brown, is back in full force in this anti-violence drama that has a pointed message to our youth.

In the late 80’s and 90’s, this inspired production toured throughout the tri-state area and nationally to cities such as Washington, DC. and had a live band. This updated and revised must see version is also heightened by music provided by noted musicians Dwayne Abercrombie and Band.

Although “Baller” has been revised and updated, its timeless theme of violence, crack cocaine, heroine, greed, and murder still plagues all areas of society. Baller Nino Brown, played by Rob McWhite, is a menace to his neighborhood and community. Surprisingly, Nino gets a chance to tell his view--from the other side. Drama, poetry, and singing make this realistic theatrical piece one that echoes a plea to help youth of today. It’s an awakening cry to all who are addicted to drugs. The hard-working, dedicated cast is passionate about “The Death of A Baller”, as seen by their dedication to portray characters realistically. Audiences who attended the 2007 season premiere of “Baller” this summer at Market Square or came to The Living Word Church, North Side, found this dramatic portrayal vital, necessary, creative, and exciting.

Dr. Upshur’s love for people, especially for our youth, is evident in his work with his wife, Dr. Marie Upshur, and Greater Love Outreach, which they founded. Their love and passion for souls is evident in the way that they’ve helped so many for over 40 years. He is State Evangelist of the Second Jurisdiction of PA C.O.G.I.C. and Pastor Emeritus of Christian Teaching Ministries where Elder Ronald Burnett is pastor. She is Mother of C.T.M.

To book “The Death of A Baller” for your organization, please call and leave a message at: 412.536.7844, 412.331.6518 or 412.362.8218. If you leave a message, you will receive a return call. Thank you.
