PlayStation Picks (1995) - PS One Demo Disc - Part 1 of 2 - Playables.wmvSteve Z2026-09-23 | PlayStation Picks (1995) - PS One Demo Disc - Part 1 of 2 - Playables.wmvDead Malls: Century III Mall, February 17, 2015Steve Z2015-02-18 | **NOTE** One of the things about getting video in a shopping mall is trying to not trigger security guards' attention. Some parts of the video are viewing the ground and I wasn't looking so I could get the video. Continue into the video and it gets better.
A walkthrough of Century III Mall taken on February 17, 2015. Since the last time I did a walkthrough, several significant merchants, such as Sears, RadioShack, American Eagle Outfitters, Aeropostale, GameStop, Philip Pelusi have closed up shop. The mall itself has also changed hands in ownership, now owned by Las Vegas' Moonbeam Investment Group, which purchased the mall after Simon defaulted on its loan in 2013.
Overall, the mall is mostly empty, although some tenants still cling to life. Some stores, like fye, Spencer gifts, and Champs Outlet, still bring traffic to the mall as they are the only units in the South Hills, but it is hard to picture most of the spaces to be filled, as many were small businesses back in the 1990s that were purchased or lost their leases. Anchors Dick's, Macy's, and JCPenney still hold tight, although it appears that the mall may be closing at 6 pm daily due to lack of foot traffic (note the gates closing on many of the stores).The (Unofficial) The Voice Season 7 PreviewSteve Z2014-09-15 | NOTE: NO ADS BECAUSE NO INFRINGEMENT INTENDED. ALL YOURS, COMCAST. ;)The Pains Of Being CreativeSteve Z2014-08-28 | Many people consider themselves to be very creative in their day to day lives. However, for a small group of people who derive their lives from being creative, from writers and musicians to sculptors and filmmakers, the problems of being creative number many. From dealing with people who want to consume your content for free to the outrageous charges for just getting name recognition, Stefan Cassadee, a published writer and lyricist, describes how it can be hard, even with a "normal real job" to go through life trying to use the creative potential to make a living and a name for oneself.ALS Ice Bucket ChallengeSteve Z2014-08-22 | Yea. Next time, let's shoot myself with a taser for multiple sclerosis research or something. Why are people thinking this is like some sort of great thing? I failed to see the point.
Next time: Drano with the bucket. 5:1 ratio. Enough to burn a hole in ya. Now that's the way to do it.

Taken roughly around 5:15 PM from Market District Express' back window. Not really gigantic hail, but made a lot of sounds, thus why I kept the door closed.Old HBO Town Open RingtoneSteve Z2014-04-26 | The way I wake up every morning...set this as the alarm on my cell phone.

Using analytical models from past years, this shows how certain traits of singers will guide them into certain spots.Panorama from the Duquesne Bluff, 04/09/2014Steve Z2014-04-10 | Panoramic shot taken atop "The Bluff" on the campus of Duquesne University, facing towards Pittsburgh's South Side above the Armstrong Tunnels behind Rooney Field, taken just before sunset on April 9, 2014.Top Ten Reasons Why Im Not Attending My 10-Yr HS ReunionSteve Z2014-03-29 | Well, 2014 marks 10 years since I graduated from high school, and as is the norm, everyone gets together and does a reunion. In this day and age, we never really broke apart, but yet, I do not want to relive my high school days. In this video, I lay out my top ten reasons why I am not so proud this year to call myself a graduate of The Class of 2004/ Class of 04.Remembering someone special in my life...Steve Z2014-03-14 | Well, March 12, 2014 would have been my Dad's 60th birthday. He passed away May 30, 1993 of a massive heart attack when I was 7. In this video, I reflect about it, and offer some advice as to why it changed my life for the better and some insight about how to handle relationships with your family.IM BACK....with my book, Hope for Healing!Steve Z2014-03-13 | PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AND SAMPLE!

I'm back on YouTube after 5 months of being busy...thanks for sticking around and subscribing! Anyways, I'm back to promote what I did in the meantime between working full time and grad school, my book "Hope for Healing."
This vlog describes a short summary of the book, who and what inspired me, and why I think it will make your life better because of its real world implications.Deep Freeze Polar Vortex 3D Cloud Manufacturing in PittsburghSteve Z2014-01-07 | When it gets to be -10F outside, it's easy to make clouds. Nope, not the Illuminati/New World Order with their "HAARP Weapon" :P, nor cloud seeding, nor weather modification, can beat this old-school vlogger's cloud manufacturing in the "polar vortex". Using cold Pittsburgh air and boiling water, your man Stefan Cassadee makes a sweet-arsed cloud. Bettina the Cat supervises for safety.2012 Chevrolet Impala LT 0-60 mphSteve Z2013-11-12 | Eh, it's what it says. Decided on a trip downstate to do a little merge onto the highway at WOT in my ex-rental 2012 Chevy Impala LT. Traction control off...lots of torque steer while trying to hold onto my iPhone, as that LFX engine and its 270 ft lb torque and 300 hp really kicks it up a notch. Not bad, considering I was coming home with a full trunk of Christmas gifts.Dead Malls: Century III Mall, October 29, 2013Steve Z2013-10-30 | Just wanted to provide an update to the videos taken quite a few months ago. Pardon the shakiness to the videos at first - security guy/biker dude was eyeballing me, plus I did this in landscape format as per request.
Mall is empty as you can see, and a lot of stores are shuttered. Much of it is ghetto stores, although there are still some national chains such as fye, AEO, Auntie Anne's, Spencer Gifts, and Champs Sports in place. Many of the kiosks are gone, and as you can see, the cavernous building is probably only 45% occupied. Did both floors for your consumption.Grilling the Perfect Steak, Part 1 of 4: Preparation, Seasoning, and PrecookingSteve Z2013-10-01 | Although pretty much everybody can say that they have cooked on a grill, few realize that it is an art form and a job to get the most tender, juicy, flavorful steak. In this video, TheRedOctoberNetwork's Stefan Cassadee takes a grocery store USDA choice strip steak, and shows how you can get restaurant quality food for a third of the price.Grilling the Perfect Steak, Part 4 of 4: Slowcooking and FinishingSteve Z2013-10-01 | Finally, after we are finished searing the steak, we cook the inside to the right temperature to ensure the right mix of temperature, juiciness, and flavor are in these steaks. Then, we evaluate the steak, put it on a plate, and eat it :)
Be sure to watch the first 3 parts to find out how to prepare, grill, and sear the steak.Grilling the Perfect Steak, Part 2 of 4: Beginning to Grill/SearSteve Z2013-10-01 | Now that we've preheated the grill, we are ready to begin searing our steaks. A careful eye is kept to make sure we have a hot grill but also just the right flame height.Grilling the Perfect Steak, Part 3 of 4: Flipping and SearingSteve Z2013-10-01 | Now that we've seared one side, we flip over the steak and give an analysis of where we are, and how to make sure the steak is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.Blind, Deaf, + Dumb: Why Using AdBlock Is Criminal Theft...Steve Z2013-09-10 | OK, folks, so many of you use AdBlock software to avoid having to wait 30 seconds to see that YouTube video you are watching. You believe that the Internet is free; Google and YouTube are billion dollar companies that don't need any more money, and the people who count on posting videos do so for free and need to get a job and go to school because they are filthy rich bums. You believe that by blocking ads, you are expressing freedom.
WRONG. In this video, I'll show you how you only end up hurting independent filmmakers, people with jobs, and people who ante up money to bring you videos for your entertainment, upon which we ask a small favor. You'll also understand why in a second, all videos could disappear on here, many of which cannot be found elsewhere.PNC Park sings Third Eye Blind Semi-Charmed Kind of LifeSteve Z2013-09-01 | I think we had a little too much fun, but anyways, after a big Bucco win, PNC Park's left field sings Semi Charmed Kind of Life by Third Eye Blind.Skyblast at PNC Park, August 31, 2013 - Video 4 of 4Steve Z2013-09-01 | (Watch all four videos!)

Since rentals aren't mine, I decided to give a little road test to this 84 horsepower 1.2 liter glorified golf cart. First run was downhill - I gave up at 50 trying to get the car to go. Second run was on flat road from a rolling start.This Scientists (Nonpolitical) Look On Climate ChangeSteve Z2013-08-27 | As promised to my friends, and as a service, this Penn State degreed meteorologist, climatologist, and environmental scientist gives a frank, honest, easy-to-swallow view on how climate change is impacting our world. In it, I discuss the rhetoric of both alarmists and skeptics, what is true and false about global warming, and how we as humans can work together in solving and mitigating climate change. All with no political mentions nor unnecessary party line rhetoric. Some light hearted humor, anecdotal explanations, and a special shout out included.
Comments welcome - and I will write back (there is some stuff I forgot to mention).Why Jenna Marbles Stinks....and Why Shes Watched By All....Steve Z2013-08-18 | I've been wanting to make a video for some time, and especially one about this subject. If you've been on YouTube or the Vlogosphere for some time, you probably know about a dear friend and fellow vlogger of mine, Jenna Mourey, aka JennaMarbles. She has a certain way of doing things, and she's become immensely popular - and powerful - on here.
In this video, I discuss from a perfectly sane viewpoint the aspects of Jenna's videos, and why I think she stinks worse than Marbles' hindflank. A Comedy Act by Stefan Cassadee.Happy One Million Views + 1st Ever Giveaway!Steve Z2013-07-21 | So, I'm celebrating one million views on TheRedOctoberNetwork, viewed in 185 countries the world around, 679 videos....so I'm giving away a couple of t-shirts!

I found this gem at the Half-Price Books in Ross Township, north of Pittsburgh. This is Katy Perry's first album, issued under her real name, Katy Hudson. This was mastered in 2001 by small (now nonexistent) record label Red Hill Records, and supposedly, only 100 of these discs exist.
You'd think the people at HPB would do a little research into the value of this disc....I paid all of $1 for it off the clearance rack. eBay supposedly has a few for sale, starting at $60 and rising to $300+. Disc is used but has no scratches...should I hold onto it?
And unless you are willing to pay good money, NOT FOR SALE. Sorry.New Comcast/Xfinity EAS - Tornado Warning for Allegheny County - July 10, 2013Steve Z2013-07-10 | First time we get to see Comcast/Xfinity's new Emergency Alert System (EAS) in action for a TORNADO WARNING issued for Allegheny, Beaver, and Butler Counties in PA. Also you will hear a tornado siren from my phone apps and Dennis Bowman briefly. (I don't have a TV tuner hooked up where I am right now, and barely was able to grab the camera. Pardon my grandmother BTW).Bethel Park/Upper St. Clair Fireworks, July 4 2013Steve Z2013-07-05 | A video of Bethel Park and Upper St. Clair's joint holiday fireworks show from 2013, pretty much the grand finale.

Very turbulent clouds (someone in our area reported rotating wall clouds). Watch the whole thing for a few surprises towards the end!My Own War Against Bipolar Disorder, and Understanding Its PowerSteve Z2013-06-24 | *NOTE* Civil discussion only. Flaming not permitted and punishable by block and/or being required to listen to a lawnmower over sheep. :P
We talk about a lot of things here on TheRedOctoberNetwork: politics, weather, jobs, sports....but we rarely discuss topics that are as serious and candid as that which really strikes at our heart. Anyways, this video is about something I have had all my life, a trait, a way of persisting through trouble, a way to go and fight the good fight. In this video, I discuss bipolar disorder, and surviving with it.
Bipolar, unlike autism, Down syndrome, or other mental/psychological disorders, is rarely spotted and even more rarely empathized with. People won't call a Down syndrome sufferer a "retard" or a "Mongoloid", but yet bipolars will be called "crazy", "(a)hole", "rebel", or troublemaker. They often cannot maintain relationships, must take medicine that makes them slow, uncoordinated, and obese. They are highly likely to suffer through drug and alcohol addiction. Even things such as caffeine can often spur manic episodes.
I discuss my experiences with bipolar, and how I control it, both from outside and inside sources.
BTW, this was in tribute to Demi Lovato....when I heard her song today, I thought about making this video.Bettina, The Cutest Little Kitteh Cat in Teh World....Steve Z2013-06-03 | Every once in a while, my 9 year old cat Bettina gets to go outside. Here is a video of her playing in my backyard, rolling around in the sunlight, and playing fetch like a little puppy. You will never see a happier kitty. :)Moore, OK Tornadoes: Not A Creation of HAARP/Chemtrails....Steve Z2013-06-01 | **THOUGHTS! AND PRAYERS TO THOSE IN THE AFFECTED AREAS!*
Meteorologist Stefan Cassadee of TheRedOctoberNetwork discusses why the deadly Moore, OK tornadoes were definitely not a creation of HAARP. Evidence includes weather models, severe weather forecasts made publicly available, and some common sense. Also includes some maps of why these tornadoes are not uncommon at all this time of year in the Plains.My New Ride - 2012 Chevrolet Impala LTSteve Z2013-05-21 | Well, after 4 and a half years of driving the Ford Crown Victoria, the car finally gave up on me (it was still drivable and could still go highway speeds, but the bottom was rusting out and parts were going every week). We gave the Crown Vic a somber farewell to the auto auction.
In its place is the new car, "Ashlee Onyx", a 2012 Chevrolet Impala LT. Definitely an upgrade on a lot of sets from the Vic, from its powerful Camaro/Caprice LFX V6 engine producing 302 horsepower, to the Bluetooth, to the sunroof and alloy rims....and oh, yes, the *new car smell*. Definitely love this car so far (and so did my neighbors LOL). Here is my quick review of the car, so have a look at it and comment/link/share!Pens vs. Islanders Intro - Game 1, 2013 Playoffs - Consol Energy CenterSteve Z2013-05-03 | A video of the intro to Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs between the New York Islanders and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
