23 Sep '05

Kelly-Strayhorn Theater - Upcoming Events for September and October 2005 New Horizon Theater *A Soldier's Play by Charles H. Fuller, Directed by Mary Clayton Southers. A Soldier's Play is not a murder mystery in the strictest sense. The investigation does not consist of policemen unraveling clues or of the simple analysis of physical evidence. Instead, the investigation by a black officer is primarily an exploration into who the slain man really was and how racism influences men's behaviors and ideals.

[Highland Park] Moderation of the Highland Park Neighborhood list
by Rudolph T Maceyko 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

The Highland Park Neighborhood list is "moderated" (meaning that a human has to approve or deny each message). It has always been that way--messages submitted to the list will not always make it to the subscribers. You may ask: "Why is the list moderated? And who are the moderators?" Those are very good questions... The list is moderated to keep messages on topic and to limit list traffic to a reasonable amount. Messages must be about Highland Park, including its residents, organizations, businesses, and the park; or of specific interest to its residents, including issues relating to surrounding/connected communities such as the redevelopment in East Liberty. The general rule is that messages that are not related to Highland Park or that continue a long sequence of replies may be rejected by the moderators. Harsh, offensive, or ill-formed messages may be rejected too, but with a request to resend the messages with suggested changes. (The list server software automatically discards messages that look like spam and removes HTML and attachments, by the way.) The moderators are volunteers who live right here in Highland Park. There are just two of us: Bob Staresinic and me. We donate our time and resources to maintain the list as a high-quality resource for the neighborhood. We are also members of the HPCC and HPCDC but we do not represent those organizations when we make moderation decisions. We gladly accept questions and comments about the way we run the list, but please be nice to us because we are *volunteers* and we use our judgment according to what we think are the best interests of the neighborhood--especially our subscribers. (Currently there are 524 of you!) Also we make mistakes because we obviously aren't perfect--please don't take it personally! I hope this clears up some of the confusion that has become apparent over the past couple of days... I would appreciate it if anyone who has comments, questions, suggestions, etc., would please send them to me (not to the list, please). (I apologize in advance if I am slow to respond.) If we end up with a workable proposal to change the list policies, we will solicit your input and achieve a consensus before making any changes. Rudy

[Highland Park] Dish deinstaller wanted
by Jason Weill 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I own a 1 1/2-story carriage house right off Negley at Wellesley which has THREE (count 'em, three) satellite dishes on top: one DirecTV dish came with the house, and Dish Network installed two more earlier this year when I started service with them. Dissatisfied with Dish, I switched to Comcast. Dish Network now wants their equipment back. Comcast claimed that they were able to remove satellite dish equipment but in reality that hasn't been the case. If you or someone you know has the time, know-how, and equipment to remove satellite dishes from a roof, please let me know as soon as you can. I would be very grateful and of course would compensate you for your time. -- Jason Weill jason(a)weill.org

[Highland Park] 2 Free Items
by Bob Staresinic 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I have 2 small things I am giving away The first is a coupon to see the current movie, Transporter2, in theaters now. The coupon is good until 9/24/05, and will get you up to $7.50 off of the movie. I already saw the movie, and will not be able to use the coupon. If interested, please let me know today. The other one is a Ryobi HP961K 9.6V cordless screwdriver kit. The screwdriver met with an unfortunate fate, but I have the case, 2 batteries, and the charger. If you have one of these models, this would be a good addition to your set. I have no use for the batteries or charger, but they are still in working order. If interested, please let me know. No time limit on these, since I can not throw anything away, and will hold on to them until I can find a good home for them (I already have a good home). Bob

I am helping someone to organize a charity benefit variety show to help Hurricane Katrina victims. It is going to be held at the Rex Theatre on the Southside, next Thursday evening, September 29 from 8 pm until... The admission price of $7 will go to Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army Relief Fund. Because of the bar at the Rex, only over 21 admitted. If you would like a copy of the flyer, please email me and I will send you a pdf. In the meantime, I have posted a flyer at Tazza d'Oro. My singing group will be one of the performers. There will also be magic, dance, comedy, storytelling, etc. Please tell your friends and colleagues.

[Highland Park] Cell Reception thread... and moderation of the list this week
by Rudolph T Maceyko 21 Sep '05

21 Sep '05

I just sent through a bunch of replies in the cell reception thread--I don't plan to send any more through unless they really add something new. Probably what we should do is have folks send mail to someone to collect and summarize the results. Bob has been moderating the list but is unavailable this week (probably since he was flamed for sending that message through about LaForet... :-) so I have the reins but not much time to look at messages except in the evenings. So please understand that delays in processing messages are only for that reason. Rudy
