Just a small helpful hint. Take your shovel, brooms, & salt inside. Yesterday, we had all three stolen from the restaurant, even though they were out of sight.

[Highland Park] "Net Neutrality" and your rights : Comcast Blocking Content ? : FCC Hearing
by Steve Karl 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Greetings, Our community, though seemingly small, uses the global network to communicate here in the group. Our access to this group may potentially be threatened. The free access that we 'currently' have, could be restricted, if large Internet Service Providers are allowed to selectively filter content, relative to how they see the potential for profit, based on that filtering. Currently: Comcast is being investigated by the FCC for allegedly filtering content, and has also allegedly been caught trying to block access to the public hearing by paying people to fill seats. Story here: http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/top-5/2008/02/26/Comcast-FCC-Hearing-… ------------------------------------------------------ Supporting "Net Neutrality" comes down to making it known to your political representatives that you want the large ISPs to not be allowed to be selective about what they allow you to access on the internet. This is easily done via email, here: http://www.savetheinternet.com/ ~ Please take the time to make your voice heard.~ Thank you, Stephen A. Karl The Pittsburgh PC Help Desk ------------------------------------------------------ "Network Neutrality" from Wikipedia: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_neutrality ) (equivalently "net neutrality", "Internet neutrality" or "NN") refers to a principle that is applied to residential broadband networks, and potentially to all networks. Precise definitions vary, but a broadband network free of restrictions on the kinds of equipment that may be attached, on the modes of communication allowed, that does not restrict content, sites, or platforms and where communication is not unreasonably degraded by other communication streams would be considered neutral by most observers.[1][2][3]

[Highland Park] Cookie Booth Sales
by Julie Gammill Gibson 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Hello neighbors! Girl Scout troops in the Pittsburgh East area of the Trillium Girl Scout Council will be holding cookie booth sales this weekend (March 1 & 2) and the next (March 8 & 9) at area businesses and grocery stores. If you missed out on the recent orders taken by individual scouts (or if you just can't get enough of those Thin Mints!), these two weekends are the time to get your Girl Scout cookies while they last and to help support our local Girl Scout troops. I am the co-leader of Brownie Troop 103 at the Falk School at the University of Pittsburgh, and our troop includes girls from Highland Park. We are holding our booth sale at the Color Me Mine pottery studio on Forbes Avenue in Squirrel Hill on Saturday, March 1 from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Our Brownies plan to use the money that they are raising to buy an American flag for our troop flag ceremonies, to pay for a field trip to earn a Brownie Try-it Badge, and to hold an end-of-year party. Stop by Color Me Mine to buy some cookies for yourself OR for our Girl Scout council to send to military personnel in Iraq. Our Brownie troop benefits from the sale of cookies for the military troops, who benefit from your gift of a taste of home! And look out for other Girl Scout troops' booth sales when you are out shopping in the East End this weekend! Julie Gammill Gibson --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.

[Highland Park] Max & Erma's Fundraiser
by Susan Wadsworth-Booth 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Neighbors: First of all, thanks to several of you who supported our Valentine's Day Babysitting Service at Liberty Elementary School! We raised a nice sum to support the school's Fifth Grade Trip to Washington, D.C., in May -- plus I think everyone had a good time! Another fundraiser for this trip is coming up, Thursday, March 13, at the Max & Erma's restaurant in Shadyside. Just eat there that night, give your server the attached coupon, and Liberty's fifth grade will receive 20% of the proceeds! (There's also an extra coupon to pass on to a friend.) Thanks again for your support. The children are really excited about this trip, and we're hoping to raise enough funds so that everyone who wants to go will be able to do so. Best, Susan Wadsworth-Booth (Elgin St.)
