[Highland Park] piano favor
by C.Heather Kropf 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi neighbors, I have a random request/favour! I'm touring a little bit next week and will be playing grand pianos for two shows. Meanwhile, my fingers are all jelly from playing electric keyboards for the past 10 years. By any chance does someone have a real piano in their home that they wouldn't mind I use for hour rehearsals next Monday-Wednesday to get my fingers a little used to the action of an acoustic instrument? I'll probably be running some scales and doing a little practice of my own songs. I can be somewhat flexible with timing so I don't disrupt your family life. And if you're a church or something, that would work, too. Many thanks, Heatherwww.heatherkropf.com

[Highland Park] 2003 Ford Taurus for Sale
by Katrina Brink 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

I have a 2003 Silver Ford Taurus for sale with 143,700 miles on it. I've owned it since January of 2010 and it has run really well for me. I had a new starter installed in April. The interior is in very good condition. The only problem with the exterior is that it was hit last year when it was parked on a street and you can see the indentation in one of the pictures. It doesn't affect how the car drives at all. Last summer I had two new front tires put on. On Kelly Blue Book it says the price should be about $3,500, but I would like to ask $3,200 due to the damage on the exterior. If interested, please call Katrina at (816) 588-7835. Thanks!

by leah helou 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Good afternoon neighbors, I have a colleague who is running an interesting research study about how the brain changes as blood pressure changes. Since participants not only get paid but have the added benefit of having their blood pressure monitored for no charge, I thought some readers on this listserve may be interested. Details are as follows: Researchers at UPMC are looking for healthy men and women 35-60 years of age with blood pressures in the high-normal range (systolic 120-139 &/or diastolic 80-89) to participate in a research study of how the brain changes with change in blood pressure. Participants must NOT have hypertension, heart or blood vessel disease, insulin dependent diabetes, or a chronic medical, physical or psychiatric disease requiring medication. Participants will attend 3 sessions in a month’s time each session lasting approximately 2 hours, 1 session will include an MRI. Payment at the completion of these sessions will be $150. Additionally, we will monitor your blood pressure over the next two years. At the end of this time you will be asked to repeat the 3 sessions mentioned above for additional compensation. For more information call Kim Novak at 412-246-6200 or e-mail her at novakkj(a)upmc.edu -- Leah B.

[Highland Park] FW: HEALTH DEPT. CAUTIONS RESIDENTS ON BATS FOUND IN THE HOME
by Keebler, Emily 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

This summer, our office has heard an increase in complaints about bats in homes in the Council district, so we feel it is important to share the message below from the Health Department concerning bats and rabies. However, the news release below gives instructions on the proper way to remove a bat from your home, and this office does not encourage residents to remove bats on their own. If there is a bat in your home that will not fly out an open door or window on its own, please call Animal Care and Control and they will remove it for you. Animal Control can be reached at 412-255-2036 from 7am to 3pm and by calling 911 outside of those hours. In case you are wondering, this is not a Batman joke. :-) Emily Keebler * Office of Patrick Dowd * Pittsburgh City Council District 7 emily.keebler(a)city.pittsburgh.pa.us <mailto:emily.keebler@city.pittsburgh.pa.us> * 412-255-2140 <http://www.facebook.com/Pittsburgh.Council.District7#!/Pittsburgh.Counc il.District7> <https://twitter.com/Pghdistrict7> ________________________________ From: Cummings, Diane [mailto:DCummings@achd.net] Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 10:46 AM To: Undisclosed recipients Subject: HEALTH DEPT. CAUTIONS RESIDENTS ON BATS FOUND IN THE HOME NEWS RELEASE Bruce W. Dixon, M.D., Director Guillermo Cole, Public Information Officer 412-578-8004, e-mail: gcole(a)achd.net <mailto:gcole@achd.net> For Release: Thursday, August 18, 2011 HEALTH DEPT. CAUTIONS RESIDENTS ON BATS FOUND IN THE HOME Risk of Rabies to People and Pets Prompts Health Warning Prompted by recent incidents in which people or pets were potentially exposed to rabid bats, the Allegheny County Health Department is urging residents to report all bats found in the home because of the risk of rabies. It's especially important to report bats found in areas where people sleep, even when you're not sure whether you've been bitten and exposed to their saliva, because bat bites can be so tiny they may leave no marks visible to the naked eye and so painless they may not even be felt by someone while sleeping. Bat encounters should be reported to the Health Department immediately by calling 412-687-ACHD. Health officials will evaluate the risk and test the bat to determine if it's rabid and anyone should be treated with anti-rabies vaccine. When a bat is found, wear a pair of heavy-duty rubber gloves and place a container such as a large bowl or empty coffee can over it, slide a piece of cardboard underneath to trap the bat inside, cover the container with a lid or cap, and then submit the bat to the Health Department for testing. In two separate incidents recently involving rabid bats, a woman and a cat were potentially exposed but not infected. As a precaution, the woman was treated with anti-rabies vaccine and the cat given a booster shot and quarantined for three months. # # # Visit our web site at: www.achd.net <http://www.achd.net/>

[Highland Park] want to buy: car top carrier
by Martha Riecks 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

We were thinking of buying a canvas car-top cargo carrier. Before purchasing a new one, I thought I'd check and see if anyone has one they are no longer using and have considered selling. It would need to install without a roof rack and fits a medium-sized sedan. Please email mriecks(a)gmail.com with details. Thanks! Martha -- Martha Riecks mriecks(a)gmail.com
