On this occasion, we have the honor to introduce you to an impressive group of ladies. They are the top ten women behind some of your favorite Pittsburgh Steelers players.
This gals are either dating or have become the Mrs. We know they all want that ring, right! Get to know them below.
The 30-year-old is married to Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger Sr., nicknamed Big Ben. –since 2011. Her hubby is a Steelers QB.
She is the wife of offensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Alejandro Villanueva. The couple has been married since 2013.
She is the wife of Pittsburgh Steelers running back, DeAngelo Williams. The couple tied the knot on July 23 of 2016. Together they are the proud parents of three children.
The blonde might be right there next to partner, James Harrison, when it comes to successful careers. She is a prominent Pittsburgh area attorney and owner/director at the firm Tibbott & Richardson.
Allie Heyward happens to be the pretty wife of defensive end, Cameron Heyward. The couple has been married since 2013. She is a former college athlete, who played for The Ohio State Women’s Volleyball team.
The hot Mercedes Dollson is said to be dating 24-year-old Steelers running back, Le’Veon Andre Bell. The couple is currently expecting a baby girl.
You’d better start working on those supple wrists, as Calgary is about to become home to Pinbar Sandwich Co., a bar featuring pinball machines, classic arcade games, “killer” sandwiches, and a full-on liquor license.
Not much is currently known about the new joint, as Pinbar Sandwich Co. has been relatively quiet on social media.
Only three Instagram posts have been made by @pinbaryyc, each proclaiming the arrival of the bar, and promising that the doors will be opening “soooooon….ish,” according to the most recent post.
The bar will be located at 501 17th Avenue SW, replacing the old Tilted Kilt Pub and Eatery that closed down in 2015 – Pinbar signs are currently covering the windows, hiding whatever renovations may be going on – or what machines are being brought in.
The Vancouver Aquarium and its worldwide reputation as a leading marine science centre has been a source of pride for many Vancouverites since it opened in 1956.
With activists (many of whom don’t live in Vancouver or Canada) and local politicians attacking the organization, its staff and volunteers during an municipal election year, the Aquarium is not sitting back as misinformation about their commitments, practices and people are spread.
“Our 1500 staff and volunteers are the real conservationists – they are working hard every single day on complex ocean issues such as overfishing, marine debris, impacts of the changing climate,” said Dr. John Nightingale, Vancouver Aquarium President and CEO.
“The pressures facing our oceans, and indeed our entire earth, are complex. The Vancouver Aquarium, with its long history of research and conservation work, is committed to generating science and expanded public engagement to promote the long-term solutions. Almost all of the pressures in the ocean realm are of human origin, and it will have to be humans that bring forward the needed changes.”
“The attached video addresses some of these issues, and clearly conveys just how committed our team is, and how dedicated they are to the difficult work they do,” Nightingale added.
In 1996, Vancouver Aquarium became the first and only aquarium in the world to make a commitment to no longer capture cetaceans from the wild for display. They now only accept and care for whales, dolphins and porpoises (cetaceans) that were born in an aquarium or were rescued and deemed non-releasable by an appropriate government authority.
The last whale or dolphin collected by the Aquarium happened over 20 years ago, in 1990. That same whale, Aurora, contributes to their knowledge of wild belugas, including groundbreaking research, which investigates the impact of boat noise on beluga vocalizations and how it affects the ability of beluga moms and calves to call each other. This is especially important in light of the shrinking ice cover and impending increase in shipping traffic in the Arctic.
Vancouver Aquarium condemns the inhumane killing of dolphins in drive fisheries, as do all professionally accredited aquariums in North America. Their two Pacific white-sided dolphins, Helen and Hana, are not from a drive fishery or from Taiji, were not purchased and no additional animals were collected to replace them.
In a rapidly changing world, marine science still contains many mysteries. Throughout their evolution, Vancouver Aquarium has worked with other professionally accredited aquariums to collaborate on research studies, share best practices and enhance staff expertise.
With an upcoming expansion planned for their habitats, the Aquarium relocated three of its belugas to professionally accredited facilities in North America that are also required to have the highest standards of care for their marine mammals.
The animals at the Aquarium receive the finest veterinary attention and benefit from state-of-the-art medical technologies developed for human health care.
Belugas in professionally accredited facilities live as long as, or longer than, those in the wild. Most of the belugas are now well into their twenties, receive exceptional care and are in excellent physical health. Unfortunately, animals do die during all parts of their life history as they would in the wild. They were deeply saddened with the passing of Kavna, who was at least 46 and considered an old beluga when she died.
They are dismayed that activists are using a photo of her, taken from a local news helicopter, after her death from age-related cancer as propaganda. It’s a cruel and heartless misuse of an animal that inspired the song, “Baby Beluga,” and was loved by millions of people including those who cared for her every day.
There is a misconception that the Vancouver Aquarium is a for-profit, private venture. However, like all registered Canadian non-profit organizations, the Vancouver Aquarium follows strict accounting regulations and undergoes an annual independent financial audit (see their 2013 Annual Report).
Gallery admissions, fundraising events and community donations fund operations and animal care, as do programs like their Marine Mammal Rescue Centre, Marine Mammal Research, Ocean Pollution Research, Ocean Wise and Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup among others.
Before 1964, when the Vancouver Aquarium caught its first killer whale, B.C.’s fisheries managers had mounted a Browning .50 calibre machine gun at Seymour Narrows to cull the killer whales they believed were vicious predators.
Today, killer whales are among the most adored species on earth due to the awareness the Aquarium has raised and their participation in the longest study of killer whales in the world.
Scientists have also proven that up-close encounters with live animals change perceptions, increase understanding and inspire action. Now, at a time when our oceans are in crisis from climate change, pollution, overfishing and acidification, we need more education and engagement than ever before.
Marine mammals at Vancouver Aquarium require a great deal of specialized care—this is especially true for belugas and dolphins that are wholly aquatic.
Training is a way for the Aquarium to communicate with the mammals and to build a trusting relationship. Training allows their professional team to convey simple messages that result in voluntary and cooperative body examinations, the taking of blood, body temperature, ultrasound, dental checks and eye exams.
Their interactions are customized for each animal and vary for health care, exercise, socialization, science, learning, education and play. It also enables scientists to conduct vital research, such as the echolocation (sound) study now underway to help understand how Pacific white-sided dolphins navigate underwater using sound and why they continue to get entangled in fishing nets.
The interactions happen regardless of public presence and are specifically, and most importantly, for the benefit of animal care.
As well as helping to inspire understanding and action in guests, the whales and dolphins at Vancouver Aquarium continue to play an important role in research for ocean conservation.
Some of the studies led by the Aquarium are conducted solely in the wild, though they use knowledge previously gained from animals at the Aquarium. Other studies are conducted only at Vancouver Aquarium. Many of them begin at the Aquarium, to establish baseline measurements and to broaden scientists’ understanding, and then continue in the wild. Expertise gained working with on-site animals also means Vancouver Aquarium is the only rescue facility in Canada with the skills and expertise to conduct rescues in the wild.
For beluga whales, the changing environment means fewer food sources and greater threats, including increased shipping traffic, novel diseases and infection by parasites previously only found in more southern animal species. Vancouver Aquarium researchers and research associates from universities around North America are working together to find solutions to these new challenges. The Aquarium belugas, Aurora and Qila, are helping.
Rescued cetaceans at Vancouver Aquarium have been deemed non-releasable by the appropriate government authorities, such as Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
To be deemed non-releasable, stranded marine mammals have either sustained injuries that would put them at a great disadvantage in the wild (as with Hana and Helen, the Pacific white-sided dolphins), or they lack the life skills needed to survive on their own because they were stranded at a very young age (the case with Jack and Daisy, the harbour porpoises).
With every rescue, the team at the Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre works around the clock to rehabilitate the animal with the goal of reintroducing it to the wild. Each year, they succeed in rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing roughly 100 marine mammals back into their natural environment.

Vancity Buzz understands your pain when it comes to dating, we’ve been on some great and some terrible dates ourselves.
We’ve reached out and asked readers to send us their best and worst dating stories. We’ve received an abundance of dates gone wrong and we thank you for your submissions!
We met on Plenty Of Fish (like so many of my worst dates). On a sunny day in June he asked if I wanted to meet at the beach for a picnic around 5 p.m.
I was already impressed – a picnic, it sounded lovely! So, as I applied my makeup and picked out an outfit, I genuinely assumed that this time it wouldn’t go terribly wrong.
When I arrived at the beach I went in for a friend hug and took a seat on the blanket. He had prepared an abundance of cheeses, grapes, apples even wine and chocolate. It wasn’t his first picnic.
We discussed online dating and, like most men do, he asked for advice. Normally men don’t do this on dates but I’ve come to terms with the fact that some of them consider a date with me a free therapy session – in which we discuss dating or lack thereof.
So, he was having issues online. They were either fat in person, not up for a second date or they didn’t even respond to his messages. Before I asked myself why I answered him, I remembered that his message went a little something like this:
Hi, my name is _____. I am contacting you to tell you I am a fan of your writing. I’ve read your pieces on Vancity Buzz and I like your outlook and attitude.
In all honestly he seemed like a nice person and that is why I said yes to the date. He really was a nice person, he was considerate and provided food, alcohol and average conversation.
He was so considerate that he invited me to participate in something most people would find rather strange on a Wednesday evening – or any evening for that matter.
He went into his bag and took out something wrapped in tinfoil. Placing the tinfoil wad the size of a golf ball down on the blanket, he asked “what do you think about THAT?”
But how could I be so naive, so innocent and so out of the current how-to-wrap-up-shrooms loop. Before me, placed right next to our lovely picnic of rated g treats, was a large wad of hallucinogens.
He already knew I was a sex and relationship writer so how could he not know this was quality article content: what not to do/bring on a first date.
Explaining that he brought them because he does them every night really didn’t help his cause. He ate them and talked about the water and the colours for a while – I did not participate but stayed and conversed.
As he rode off into the sunset on his bike (total hipster), I knew I would never again see him or his delicious picnic spread again.
Vancouver’s Transit Police are looking for suspects in a series of ticket vending machine break-ins, and one of them happened to leave his pants behind at the scene.
The five break-ins took place at the Metrotown, Lake City Way, Patterson, and 29th Avenue SkyTrain stations this August, netting thieves about $2,000 in cash and causing an estimated $7,000 in property damage.
Transit Police have release footage of two of the incidents, including the last one on August 27, during which one of the two men seen exiting through the station’s gate manages to get his pants caught, tearing them completely off.
Authorities say there were two to three men involved in each break-in, and they all wore dark clothes with bandanas tied across their faces and hats or hoods. The suspects gained accesses to the machines with crowbars and screwdrivers, and in one heist employed a stolen white Jeep Cherokee which has since been recovered.
The Transit Police are sharing the videos and details of the incidents in the hopes that the public knows who these men are.
“We believe that someone may have been bragging about this or telling the story about losing their pants,” notes the Transit Police.

It has been six years since the South Florida real estate market crashed but there are already at least 100 new South Florida condominiums set to rise within Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach which will provide over 14,500 more units to the inventory supply of the tri-county coastal region.
According to reports, the number of proposed condominiums could increase over time as numerous development sites from the previous construction boom have been swept up by real estate investors who are eager to find opportunities to develop high-density residential projects which have proven to be an exceptionally profitable investment in the past couple of years as the available inventory supply seems to be dwindling ever so swiftly.
As of now, less than 6 percent of almost 49,000 South Florida condominiums created during the previous construction boom remain unsold as of 2012 which means that the property market will definitely be looking forward to having its supply replenished.
One of the best examples to cite would be Downtown Miami where only 850 of their new condominium units out of more than 22,000 units are left remaining up for grabs on the property market.
Real estate analysts predict that the remaining condominium inventory supply will be sold out by 2014 which leads to great optimism within the industry as more real estate developers and investors — including many that are from outside of the region — are looking to act upon the chance to invest within the region.
Ranking second after Downtown Miami is Hollywood an Hallandale Beach which are looking to welcome 10 new condominium development projects which will add 1,400 more units. The property market within both areas were among the first to sell out the South Florida condominiums which were available within their respective inventories during 2011.
Ranking third is the city of Sunny Isles Beach which has over ten new condominiums and 1,200 residential units which are currently underway.
Other locations which are doing exceptionally well are Downtown West Palm Beach, Aventura, Coral Gables, Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Juno Beach, Key Biscayne, Pompano Beach, and North Palm Beach which are all looking forward to seeing more South Florida condominiums being built that will essentially replenish supplies which will then provide property buyers with more options to choose from in the near future.
If you would like to find out more information regarding the availability of options in the South Florida region, you get in touch with our team of professional real estate agents who can provide knowledgeable insight when it comes to condominiums and developments within the region today.
Competition for the Sam Adams Multi-Event Invitational began on Friday at Westmont College. UCSB sent multiple athletes to compete against some of the world’s best in the two-day meet that features the men’s decathlon and women’s heptathlon.
Senior decathlete Mike Powers was the top scoring Gaucho, ending the weekend in third place overall and in first place among collegiate competitors. Powers placed second in the discus throw with a distance of 39.73 meters, his best finish in an individual event. Powers finished with a score of 6806, 140 points ahead of Rice University’s Chris Sanders and 720 points behind unaffiliated meet champion Gray Horn.
The former Florida Gator and U.S. Olympic Team Trial member Horn came away with a decisive victory after winning the 100-meter dash (10.91s), long jump (7.17m), shot put (13.72m), high jump (1.98m), 110-meter hurdles (14.73s), discus throw (41.03m) and pole vault (4.85m).
Gaucho senior Derek Masterson was impressive on day one, sitting in third going into Saturday’s competition. However, Masterson suffered an injury during the pole vault competition and had to sit out the final two events of the weekend. It was a disappointing setback but Masterson was in good company on the Did Not Finish List. World Champion decathlete and former Oregon Duck Ashton Eaton competed in only four of the weekend’s ten events.
Junior Billy Britt (6289) and freshman Ike Okapara (5839) were also in the running for UCSB. They finished sixth and seventh, respectively, out of the ten qualifying finishers. It was a successful weekend overall for UCSB, with Gauchos finishing with three of the top five spots among student-athletes.
Freshman Tori Usgaard was the lone competitor for UCSB in the women’s heptathlon. Usgaard finished in fifth place on the day with a final score of 4740. She placed fourth in the high jump (1.64m) and fifth in the long jump (5.29m).
Kiani Profit took first place with a score of 5909. Representing the United States Olympic team, the former Maryland Terrapin consistently finished in the top two throughout the weekend. A big win in the 800-meter run gave her a 100 point boost to secure the victory over Aisha Adams.
UCSB track and field resumes competition on April 12 with the Big West Challenge Cup in Fullerton, California.
“Meet our Grandpa, he’s 83 years old. We call him ‘Mis’ /Meesh/, which means ‘bear’ in Polish, he gave himself a pen name of ‘Andrzej Anonimus’. (Andrzej=Andrew, Anonimus = Latin for Anonymous).”
Meet our Grandpa, he’s 83 years old. We call him ‘Mis’ /Meesh/, which means ‘bear’ in Polish, he gave himself a pen name of ‘Andrzej Anonimus’. (Andrzej=Andrew, Anonimus = Latin for Anonymous).
Retired, our grandpa became writer. What makes our grandpa really incredible is that he totally embraced computers to do it, and now he has embraced the Internet too.
He’s been using a PC since the early 90’s... In love with the Internet, he is the most digital grandpa you could ever meet. He’s got his own website, contributes to Wikipedia, has a few email addresses, Linked-in account, Skype, Twitter, Paypal account and several Instant Messenger accounts... and so on... His Facebook fan page is now approaching 1500 fans! Most importantly, he always has a word processor window open, working on his literary masterpiece. 'Time is running out, so I have to make best of every day', he says.
What does our grandpa write about? As most other grandpas do when they write, he writes about the best time of his life, the time when he was young... Unfortunately, this was the same time when World War two broke out, and Poland was in the thick of it. World War 2 is never an easy topic, with many atrocities and defeats, placing his home land in to the lowest depths of despair. Yet our grandpa has managed paint the landscape with some remarkable experiences from his childhood. He explains world war II form his perspective, giving us some colorful anecdotes of close encounters with death, which he always loved telling us when we were kids! (Incidentally, these days he just quotes the chapter and page number that we should read)
Despite over 20 years of continuous labor, our grandpa has had little success with his work. He spent nearly all of his retirement money on writing, and he has not made a cent back at all. What we have to admire is our grandpa’s character - is that he never gives up, and he seems like the most positive and happy old man if you meet him in person. All that he wishes is that some people come to visit his site, read some of his material, and perhaps recommend it to others.
