ATTENTION BABIES! The University of Pittsburgh Infant Communication Lab is seeking healthy, typically developing babies between 2 and 8 months of age to help us with research on the development of reaching, object manipulation, and sitting. All of our research is play-based, and babies have fun playing with our toys. Parents remain with their infants at all times. Reserved parking on the University of Pittsburgh campus is provided at no cost, and sib-minding is available if necessary. Please visit our website at <http://www.pitt.edu/~icl%20> http://www.pitt.edu/~icl or call us at 412-624-9355 for more information or to sign up! Thank you!

[Highland Park] old pasta place in Aspinwall
by Sherry Goldman 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Does anyone remember the name of an old pasta/pizza place in Aspinwall at the site of the current Punishers Paintball at 309 Freeport Road, next to Pham dry cleaners? It has been driving me crazy every time I pass by there, trying to remember the name. I think they were there in the 80s or 90s and they used to have really good baked pasta. I think the name began with "Co" or "Com". Thanks!

[Highland Park] Lead certified painters
by Sherry Goldman 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Can someone recommend good lead certified painters that are on the less expensive side of the spectrum? While I expect to pay more, I have been getting estimates three times the non-lead certified prices. I don't mind paying 50% more, but 300%?? It makes it impossible to afford.

[Highland Park] Sewing Machine Repair Person list
by Pam Morrison 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Since I got a few requests for the same information, here's a list of the suggestions I got from the kind ListServe people who took the time and energy to reply to my search for a sewing repair person to come to the home. 1.Tim Grottenthaler comes to your home to repair sewing machines. He came to my house and did a terrific job on my two table-top Singers. His phone number is (724) 287-5075. 2. I don't know of a repair person but I might suggest that you contact Cut and Sew Studio in East Liberty. They are located upstairs from the Waffle Shop and Abay on Highland and Center Avenues. They use many old machines and must know good repair people. You can find them at cutandsewstudio.com. 3. Tim Grottenthaler has come several times to my home to service my machines. He worked for a long time with Singer and does all the Joann Fabric repairs. I recommend him highly. His number is 724 287-5075 4. Pam, I do not know anyone who comes into the home. We have always taken it to Thortons. The address is:3301 Babcock Boulevard Pittsburgh, PA (412) 366-6611 And a suggestion for learning how to do it yourself: Try Youtube , you can learn almost anything on there! Thanks to great neighbors! PAM "Perfect balance is an illusion-- just try for upright."
