[Highland Park] icebreakers?
by SusieSlg＠aol.com 13 Oct '12

13 Oct '12

This is a different kind of question but does anyone have any good ideas for icebreaker games for a group of young people around age 20 from different countries? I have a few ideas but just thought I would throw the question out in case someone has a fun and different suggestion. It should be uncomplicated and conversation promoting. Thanks for any thoughts... Susie

Osvaldo Golijov’s unique, Grammy Award-winning chamber opera reunites the artists of Quantum’s acclaimed 2011 production Maria de Buenos Aires. To this point, it seems appropriate that we are in East Liberty again- this time, at the beautiful East Liberty Presbyterian Church. Ainadamar tells the story of Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca’s life as a young artist at the eve of the Spanish revolution and of his relationship with Margarita Xirgu, the great Catalan tragedian who was his muse. A flamenco-based score - Deep Song, as it’s called – articulates the pounding of horses’ hooves, the guns of the Falangists, and ultimately, the powerful, undeniable cry for freedom that could not be silenced. With a libretto by theatrical giant David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) and spectacular site-specific staging. Below you'll find info about special events, directions, parking, and nearby dining options.

Hi, Does anyone have recommendations for garage door repairs. The spring in one of our garages broke. We had one company come out and told us we'd need to replace the S on the spring on the other side as well as the chains for total of $600+. Seems like alot of money. We don't know if all of the extras are really necessary. Thanks. Marsha

[Highland Park] Living space for visiting academic
by Jennings, J. Richard 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

A colleague of mine from the University of Amsterdam will be working here at Pitt April to June 2013. He and his wife (for part of the time) would like to rent some furnished space for this time. There may be the possibility of an exchange for a place in The Netherlands. He is fluent in English and has rented a house here previously for a summer stay, i.e., he'll be familiar with American housing, appliances and such. Any help finding a place for him would be appreciated. We live in Highland Park so a place in the neighborhood would be ideal. Dick Jennings
