Speeding on Jackson between Highland and Negley
by Kate H 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

Dear neighbors, After yet another hit-and-run has caused damage to our cars and property, I've decided to ask the city to put in place some traffic-slowing measures on Jackson. Despite the stop signs every block, I see drivers speeding through all of the time and it is dangerous! If you support this idea, would you please consider using the 311 system to contact the city? You can do it online at: http://pittsburghpa.gov/311/form or just dial 311. Below is the text of what I submitted, feel free to use and/or modify: *Drivers consistently speed through Jackson between Highland and Negley. I live on Jackson between Beatty and Euclid and in the last three months we've had 3 cars damaged by reckless drivers speeding down the street at night as well as damage to at least two properties on my block. I would like to request some traffic-slowing measures being put in place. There are 2 families with small children in that stretch of Jackson alone, plus a number of kids that walk through to catch the school bus. I would hate for an accident affecting people to occur, and the property damage isn't fun either. I would be happy with the addition of speed humps and signage about children, in addition to extra police monitoring.Thank you.* If you have any other suggestions or solutions, please let me know. And if anyone in the immediate area (Wayne Rd or Beatty) is interested in renting their garage or off-street parking space, let's talk. -- *Kate Harris* http://katevilanova.wix.com/creativeinstruction

ISO: Used Banner (ideally 3.5'/4' x 8')
by Alicia Donner 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

Hey neighbors! My library (CLP - Sheraden) is looking for a banner to install decorations outside our library and I wanted to see if anyone has one or knows where to get one for an affordable price. (I checked Creative Reuse yesterday and they were out of banners from the Cultural District.) Ideally the banner would be 3.5'/4' x 8' but we could probably work with a different size. Any advice would be incredibly helpful! Peace, Alicia -- Alicia M. R. Donner *PULSE Alumna 2010-11* *http://pulsepittsburgh.org/ <http://pulsepittsburgh.org/>*

a bit more on the Win10 Upgrade
by Steve Karl 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

Greetings, Adding some more info to Jeff Dumm’s post: I’ve see the Win10 upgrade crash 3 Win7 PCs, making them unbootable. The only solution at that point was restoring the factory image. So, I’d not recommend risking it. Also, ‘if’ you have upgraded, it worked, but don’t like it, you have 30 days to restore back to before the upgrade. After 30 days the files necessary for restoration are deleted automatically. One good way to avoid the “Get Windows 10” icon is to make sure your Windows Update settings are set to 1) Uncheck “recommended” 2) Uncheck “Microsoft Products” That way you’re only receiving “critical” security oriented updates. If you already have the “Get Windows 10” icon and want to remove it, and after setting your Windows Update settings to the above 1) 2), uninstall the update called “KB3035583” as defined in this article: http://www.howtogeek.com/218856/how-do-you-disable-the-get-windows-10-icon-… Steve Karl 412-441-4349 The Pittsburgh PC Help Desk

loose dog on Cordova Rd.
by Jana Finder 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Neighbors, There is a big tan dog wearing a collar that is loose on Cordova Rd. I was just walking my 3 dogs with my son at 2:30 and this dog came running at us barking aggressively. This dog is usually on the front porch of its house with two other dogs so I don’t know if he jumped over the porch railing or got out in some other way. J. Finder
