RE: [Highland Park] Insulation contractor?
by Sam Al-Droubi 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Many thanks to those who responded to my inquiry regarding insulation contractors. I am also considering getting new windows to make my house more energy efficient. My house is over 100 years old and my wife prefers wooden windows vs. vinyl to keep the house character. Any recommendations on thermal windows and installers? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: neighborhood-bounces(a)highlandpark.pgh.pa.us [mailto:neighborhood-bounces@highlandpark.pgh.pa.us] On Behalf Of Sam Al-Droubi Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 9:46 AM To: neighborhood(a)highlandpark.pgh.pa.us Subject: [Highland Park] Insulation contractor? All, Like many older homes in HP, my home lacks proper insulations. I am looking for someone who has experience with insulating older homs via blown-in insulations or other methods. Has anyone done this and was it worth it in terms or bringing down the heating and cooling bills? Thank you. Sincerely, Sam Al-Droubi, M.S. saldroubi(a)yahoo.com

Hello Neighbors... I am providing a free seminar for the community. This critically important information is not available anywhere else in the world. I am an expert, with three decades of experience, in how our minds really work. Ralph Waldo Emerson, often called "America's Teacher" wrote: "The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master." Unfortunately, for most people their mind is their master, and they don't even know it. Just one example, millions die each year of stress-related diseases, and this is completely unnecessary. Few know the wonderful freedom of being the master of their minds. This seminar will teach you, with specific, scientifically-based techniques, how to become master your fears,worries, and stress. The full flier is attached if it can be opened. ****************************************************************** Fear~Worry~Stress How to Get Rid of Them...for Good! This free seminar will give you all the information you need: ~ to train your brain to automatically activate, any time and anywhere, a natural calming ability you already have ~ to learn how to eliminate unnecessary worry, stress, and fear and become the master of your own mind Union Project Atrium (Use cafe entrance) 801 N.

[Highland Park] News from the walkers!
by RACHEL MCCURDY 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

This didn't appear to go through the first time, so I'm sending it again. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Neighbors! Sara and I were happy to meet many of you at the annual yard sale last month. Many of you asked that we keep you posted on our progress for the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk. So, here's an update! For those of you who we didn't meet, my best friend Sara and I will be walking 60 miles over the course of three days in Boston August 4th through the 6th for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, sleeping in tents along the way. As part of the process, we have committed to raising $4400 to support the foundation. So far, we have raised $1965 by holding a benefit Latin Night at Ibiza Restaurant in the South Side, donating all of our sales proceeds from the yard sale, and collecting donations from friends and family. We're almost half way there, but we have less than a month now to raise the rest of the money. So, we're turning to the community and asking for your support. If you or your business would like to make a donation, you can go to www.the3day.org/Boston06/teamtia and click on either one of the team members' names and make a donation on our personal pages. Any business donations we receive of $250 or more will receive a free advertising spot on our official team shirts. As for our training, you may have seen us out and about in the neighborhood recently doing our training walks. We are up to ten mile walks - rain or shine - and next week we'll be completing a 20-mile walk around Pittsburgh. If you see us out, give us a wave!...We're always wearing our bright pink Breast Cancer 3-Day lanyards. As always, thanks for your continued support and we'll keep you posted on our progress!
