[Highland Park] 50% Off Discount for First Time Organizing Services
by Flavia Musinsky 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hey Neighbors! One thing I forgot to mention in my first email (see below) is that I'd like to offer *new customers a one-time 50% off discount *(making the hourly rate $20 instead of $40) on all organizing services. That's a significant savings, so take advantage and email or call me now to start getting organized! Email: flavia.musinsky(a)gmail.com Phone: (646) 249-5791 ________________________________________________ I am in the process of starting a small business called "Do-It-Now Organizing," and I'd like to begin by offering my organizing services to those in the neighborhood before I launch my website and advertise to the larger public; half as a sort of trial run, and half as a desire to get to know my neighbors! If you are tired of constantly looking for things, having too much stuff and no where to put it, or feeling overwhelmed and anxious every time you to try and organize, I can help you! Hiring a professional organizer might seem like a disaster-only situation, but many people - from busy professionals to overwhelmed parents- find it worthwhile to call in reinforcements for spaces that simply feel too daunting to handle alone. I have experience organizing closets, kitchens, pantries, offices, kids' rooms, playrooms/dens, garages, storage areas, and files; pretty much any type of clutter, really. I work quickly and efficiently, and I organize in a way that works with your habits and needs. While rates for professional organizers can go up to $120 an hour, I charge $40 an hour (with most jobs taking 1-4 hours) as I don't think getting organizing help should be a luxury. (If you are on a strict budget but are interested in my help, please don't hesitate to call!) In our initial phone call, I will ask you some questions about the space you are looking to organize as well as your general organizational habits and goals, propose some initial ideas for how to de-clutter and streamline your space, and schedule a time to come to your home and begin organizing. Once the actual organizing is finished, I can also help you figure out a plan to stay better organized in the future. *If you are interested in organizing services, please email me directly at flavia.musinsky(a)gmail.com <flavia.musinsky(a)gmail.com>, or give me a call at (646) 249-5791 <%28646%29%20249-5791>. I would be happy to answer your questions and discuss your organizing needs. Also, please see testimonials below and a before and after example of my work at HERE <http://s122.photobucket.com/user/fmusin/media/IMG_4167_zpsa1465046.jpg.html>. I look forward to speaking with you!* ****************************************** *Testimonials:* "Flavia is a dream. She is one of the most organized people I have ever met. She has organized not only my office but also our home, including our children's room, the kitchen, the playroom, our garage, and so much more. She continues to work for us. If you are in need of organization or helpful hands Flavia is the person to go to." -Dr. Michelle Bisno, Achievement in Motion "Flavia has exceptional organizational skills, as I can testify from her whirlwind re-organization of my office and part of my reference books collection. She has an analytical mind which enables her to look at an office set-up, whether physical or virtual (e.g. desktop files) and quickly perceive the obstacles to an efficient work-flow. She tackles each project logically and efficiently, and she is hard-working, not giving up until she is satisfied that the project has been completed to her satisfaction." -Musinsky Rare Books

Re: [Highland Park] Question about comcast internet service specifically around netflix
by Sam Burns 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Thanks everyone who replied about your experience with netflix recently. When I looked into this myself this morning before sending the question I was finding that many people had been on comcast's forums complaining about how netflix has slowed down. The fact that some of you on verizon are seeing the same behavior tells me it's more likely to be an issue on netflix's end. I am also aware that verizon has been accused of throttling netflix service and I know comcast is capable of it. When I have the problem, the internet is working fine. Other people on the comcast forums had called netflix and comcast and both were pointing the finger at the other. I'm also aware that comcast uses a shared connection model whereas verizon fios is supposed to be unaffected by our neighbors. I'm going to adopt a wait-and-see approach to see if anything more comes to light, while also making a complaint to comcast and netflix. Thanks for your feedback, it was helpful knowing how widespread the issue is. Sam.

[Highland Park] Question about comcast internet service specifically around netflix
by Sam Burns 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Around the 600 block of N Euclid, are any of you experiencing netflix being slow to the point of being unwatchable? I am seeing this behavior in the evenings over the last few weeks. I have a few devices to watch it on such as apple and sony and they are all suffering the same way. Thanks, Sam. PS You can send this email to others outside the listserv.

[Highland Park] Middle School Student sleep study
by Gratzmiller, Sarah 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

[https://post.craigslist.org/imagepreview/00F0F_cIEeghfkP6T_600x450.jpg] Sleep for Science! Youth, ages 11--14, are needed for a University of Pittsburgh research study of how sleep impacts emotions, social relationships, and health. If your child is between 11 and 14 years old, and is emotionally and physically healthy, he or she might be eligible to participate. If eligible, sleep patterns will be measured at home during the school year, and again during the summer. During the summer, the study also involves two 48-hour visits to the Child & Adolescent Sleep Lab at the University of Pittsburgh. One of the visits involves sleeping only 4 hours per night. During both summer lab visits, participants are asked to complete an interview, computer tasks & games, and if eligible, fMRI scans to look at brain activity. Groups of 3 youth complete the summer lab study together. Participants are encouraged to invite their friends to join! This study does not involve any treatments or medications. Compensation will be provided for participation in the study. For more details, and to see if your child qualifies, Text kidsleep to 412-999-2758 or call: 412-246-5979 www.kids.sleep.pitt.edu
