New Blog: Life as a Madison
I’m Gina Madison, a.k.a. Gina Villiotti, a.k.a. Gina V. I was a Jersey girl for about 4 years before moving back home to Pittsburgh this past June. Yep, I am a BurghGirl again - always was at heart. I am a Penn State alumnus - got my degree in journalism, but I have been doing PR since I graduated, currently for a financial services company. My newest adventure in social media has been a wild ride so far - meeting tons of tweople (follow me @Madison14 on Twitter) and learning more and more everyday! Oh, did I mention that I am also a reality TV show and information junkie?!?! Happy blogging…welcome to my life as Gina Madison.
New Blog: Picking Daisies
38 year-old, slightly self-depricating, mother of four young children, living in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, trying not to spontaneously combust on a daily basis. I post about my mundane yet extraordinary life-regularly* (*as often as I can find a flat surface to plop my somewhat large bottom upon and type a few words without being continually harassed by smaller humans)

New Blog: A Complete Lack of Etiquette
This anonymous blog is pure snark and venting about daily life in Pittsburgh. It is likely that, once established, I will be making fun of Ben Roethlisberger and commentating as the Child Mayor attempts to make it big. I will lament about the lack of life downtown. I will marvel about growing up nearby (within 100 miles) and yet feeling like a complete outsider here. I love Pittsburgh like I love my brother: He's part of my family, but I can't stand to have dinner with him.

The vision for Together We Flourish is to: • Provide a place for nonprofits to learn about each other and hopefully find ways to collaborate with each other. • Help to build an online presence for the participating organizations which will ultimately help to generate new resources. • Build a resource file of services provided to the community. As many of you already know, the downturn in the economy is making things even more difficult for you, the organizations that are doing their very best to help others. Not only are your funds being reduced, but at the same time, the needs of the community are increasing. That is why it is more important know than ever before that we become a community of organizations that network together in order to learn from each other and share knowledge, ideas possibilities that will help you navigate through difficult financial waters and develop new and creative ways to better serve your clients. If this idea sounds like something your organization could use, visit the Participation Registration page to learn more. Please join me in this project. I welcome and look forward to any input you may have about ways to improve this blog. This is intended to be a resource for you and the community. Together we can strengthen and raise awareness about those who work at improving the lives of others

We began chronicling Hutch III’s high school football career and the antics of his crew. Hutch III is now attending Hiram College in Ohio and playing as a defensive end on the Terriers! Hutch Jr. recently returned from Iraq and shows 19-40 detail the entire deployment. Kick back and enjoy the show dedicated to all of the Steeler Nation trapped in other parts of our country and world. If you have ever eaten a jumbo sammich, gambled in the basement of a catholic church, engaged in a buckeye fight, or ridden a PAT bus, come check us out. Some of the highlights of the show include the PAT Bus Vocabulary Moment, The Bloomfield Update, Pixburgh Originals and the newly instituted Scanner Segment.
