[Highland Park] Peacocks - Thanks everyone!
by Charles Horton 29 May '12

29 May '12

Wow! Thanks to one and all for the deluge of helpful emails - despite having lived here for quite awhile, I somehow did not know the story about the peacocks. In case anyone else was wondering the same thing, I'll do my best to summarize here: The peacocks, while welcome to come and be fed at the zoo, do not technically live there. They are free to come and go as they please, and for whatever reason, that bit of road is often where they feel like going. So there isn't really anyone to notify if the peacocks happen to show up there - or on the roof of your home, as happened to one respondent! I guess all we can do is to be especially vigilant while going through that stretch of road - for new arrivals to HP, that's why traffic often slows down through that section. Thanks again for the info, everyone! Charles

[Highland Park] 1 BR for summer sublet in 4BR house - East Liberty/Highland Park
by Katrina Struloeff 29 May '12

29 May '12

It is that time of year again... We are looking for an individual to fill a summer sublet to add to my house. (One of my housemates will be gone for the summer) Feel free to pass it along to anyone you think might be a good fit! It is a whole 3rd floor space of my house and has beautiful light. Also the yard is huge and perfect for summer relaxing. If someone is interested there is even some open space for your own raised bed in the garden. Please note this won't be a good fit for anyone allergic to cats or dogs. Here is the craigslist ad - follow the link for photos - http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/sub/3037820345.html ----------------------------- I'm looking for someone to sublet my bedroom from June 3 to August 31. I live in a four-bedroom house in East Liberty/Highland Park with 2 other wonderful people. One housemate is an amazing musician (classically trained piano), and the other (the owner) works for a local nonprofit. I just graduated from Carnegie Mellon University and will be moving to Baltimore. It is a friendly but independent vibe around the house and everyone pitches in for general household tasks. The house: • Has shared living space of a dining room, • Living room, • Kitchen, • Laundry, • Two bathrooms, • Small studio space • Huge backyard with garden Available bedroom: • Basically a full 3rd floor space with painted wood floors and amazing light. This is a large and extremely flexible space. • Futon, dresser, closet (bought from Target), coffee table included I am simply looking for someone who is reliable, friendly, doesn't mind cats or dog (there are two calm cats and a 1-½ year- old mixed puppy), and relatively clean, to round out the house. Rent is $425-450 plus splitting utilities with other housemates (utilities average $75/month). Cost dependent on additional storage space. Located on Hays Ave. between Euclid and North St. Clair. Direct bus lines to downtown, CMU, University of Pitt, Oakland, Bloomfield, Stanton Heights, Friendship, Garfield, Strip District, and East Liberty bus station (the bus way). Within a mile of great dining options in Highland Park, East Liberty, and Shadyside (barbecue, Thai, Ethiopian, and Caribbean, just to name a few). Street parking is available and does not require a permit. Need someone to move in June 3. Please note that one weekend in mid-August, I will return to pack up the rest of my things.

[Highland Park] everybody wants a cat, right?
by Valerie Sweeney 29 May '12

29 May '12

My friend's aunt recently died, leaving several cats. Rik promised he'd find homes for them. If you are even remotely thinking about a cat, consider his....they are older cats, but housetrained and in good health, and he is willing to contribute to vet care for the remainder of their lives. It's just really important to him that they go to loving homes. Please email him if you're interested, and he can give you details and pics. His name is Rik Nagel, and his email is riknagel(a)mac.com Thanks.

When a child slows down and meditates, they also get to experience a sense of calm and wonder that is quickly being lost in age of stress (yep, kids feel it too!). In this workshop, we will offer some tools and techniques for both kids and parents to learn how meditation and mindfulness help to reduce stress, improve focus, process emotions, and develop a deeper sense of who they are. Please wear comfortable clothes that both parents and kids can move and breathe easily in. *REJUICINATE YOUR LIFE * Wednesday, June 6, 7 pm | $25 Rejuicinate your life is a 2 hour class that will teach you everything you need to know to improve your health and nutrition by drinking fresh vegetable juice. *Learn the benefits of juicing: * More energy and vitality Curb your appetite Beat the 3:00 Crash Save money on supplements Get your vitamins and minerals naturally Beat the cravings for soda and coffee Alkalize your body to fight inflammation Jeff Berkowitz CHHC will show you how fun and easy it is to get great tasting, fresh vegetable juice and juice your way to better health. *YOGA FOR STRESS MANAGEMENT* Sundays, 9:00-10:15 am with Kristie Lindblom $12 drop-in or buy a class pass: 4 classes for $44, or 10 classes for $100 This practice is designed to restore the nervous system and help release deeply held tensions from the body, breath, and mind. Through a combination of gentle stretches, restorative postures, breathing (pranayama), deep relaxation, and meditation, we gently melt stress away. This all levels class is appropriate for every body, including seniors, in addition to students who simply prefer to move at a slower pace. Individualized instruction and modifications are given to accommodate students with chronic symptoms such as muscle or joint pain, stiffness, weakness, or fatigue. *Please note that if you are suffering from major medical issues, please contact Kristie to discuss them so that she can help assess whether this class or a private session might be a better way to serve you.* **Please bring a yoga mat, pillow or bolster, and a thin blanket.** -- *e m i l y e s c a l a n t e * massage therapist www.E3MT.com + usana health sciences associate www.healthypgh.usana.com
