	Security:	Public

If anyone goes to a doctor that they really love in one of these neighborhoods, I'd like to hear about them. My husband would prefer a male, I'm sure, but if it's a woman who does a stellar job he won't complain either. He's going in for a somewhat stressful reason so good bedside manner is a plus.

My apartment was broken into AGAIN. On Christmas day. This time they just smashed the glass back doors. Nothing was taken - we're out of town, but the person there to feed the cat scared them away.

Keep an eye out, board up glass doors, stay safe...

	Subject:	Reasonably priced yarn shops?
	Security:	Public

Are there any reasonably priced yarn shops that *aren't* Michael's or Joann's? I'm looking for something with some decent selection, mainly natural fibers, but also more reasonably priced than Knit One in Squirrel Hill. Maybe no more than $10 a skein?

I'm in the North Hills, but don't mind driving a short distance -- AKA, no further than the airport or similar distance.

(Yes, I know I could just buy online. But I like touching and looking before buying.)

Anyone have any recommendations for a moving company? I'm moving to Oakland from Washington County, but have to do it in two days (the 28th and the 29th), and I just don't have the manpower right now.

First, merry christmas to those of you celebrating!

I live in Michigan now, but am visiting friends for the holidays (yay!). On 279, the exhaust system on my 88 Corolla started making angry noises at me. (I'm just thankful it didn't happen in Bumfuck, OH). Does anyone have any mechanic recommendations? I did search the archives, but I was hoping someone knew of someone in (or close to) the North Side.

Thank you!!!

	Subject:	Taking classes after graduation?
	Security:	Public

I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with picking up courses after graduation. I graduated in August. I'm now looking at graduate programs, and it looks like I'm going to need to learn German (no small task) to do most of my research. Since the grad programs I'm looking at (for History) require at least one language anyway, I'm considering picking up the German certificate at Pitt. (Yes, I know I should have done it while I was doing my undergrad degree.) I thought it would provide a great survey of the language and culture, which would be helpful for my grad work.

As I already graduated, I was wondering if anyone could offer any information about this. I emailed OAFA, but obviously will not be hearing back from them until January. Any ideas about receiving financial aid for a certificate? I know the OAFA website lists that as an eligibility requirement.

Thanks in advance, and Happy Holidays to all of you out there.

	Subject:	Vet open over the holidays
	Security:	Public

A friend of mine sent this info around for pet owners that might have need to visit a vet during the holidays:

Dr. Risa of McKees Rocks Vet Clinic will be open Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Years Day as well as the weekends.

Animals don't stop getting sick because it's a holiday -- and often it's a cause. Yet, while they need urgent care, they may not need a full service trauma unit like those at the ER vets. That's why Dr. Risa has decided to keep her doors open over the holidays. ..... (BTW - Dr Risa worked at an Emergency Clinic for 5 yrs, so she's petty well seen it all.)

Her holiday hours (partial listing):

Christmas Eve -- closed
Christmas Day -- 11-4 (urgent care only)
Sat 12/26 -- 9:30 - 4:30
Sunday 12/27 -- 11-3
New Year's Eve -- 11-3 (urgent care only)
New Year's Day -- 11-3 (urgent care only)
Saturday 1/2 -- 9:30 - 4:30
Sunday 1/3 -- 11-3 (urgent care only)

McKees Rocks, PA

	Subject:	Apartment hunting -
	Security:	Public

I'm looking for a 2 bedroom apartment in the North Side/Manchester/Bellevue area.

I've found some decent, even promising, leads on Craigslist. But I figured I would post here to see if anyone knew anything.

I really enjoy the idea of living on California Ave.

Anyone have any leads?

Headline: Wine Kiosks To Be Added At 100 Pa. Supermarkets

Sweet! Sounds like a (small) step in the right direction!

Posted: 9:42 am EST December 23, 2009
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- More than 100 Pennsylvania grocery stores are expected to be getting vending machines that sell wine.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board says the kiosks could be operating at all the stores by the middle of 2010.

Board spokesman Nicholas Hays says the kiosks can carry up to 500 bottles of as many as 50 wines.

Patrons would slide a driver's license into the machine to prove they are 21 or older.

A camera would also ensure that the person and the license match.

The buyer would also have to breath into a device that would measure blood-alcohol level.

Hays says a prototype will arrive in Harrisburg early next year so the technology can be tested.

Then, Kiosks will be piloted at several stores in the Harrisburg area.

	Subject:	CCAC Spanish Classes
	Security:	Public

I'm thinking of taking the non-credit communtiy class to strenghten my ability. However, there's no placement test. Has anyone done this for Spanish or any other lanaguage. I've taken only a semester of Spanish, but at Pitt whose program is super strong. I pick up languages muy rapido and I speak very strong French, which helps me learn Spanish quicker. I've also still got a Spanish 1 text book I can use for reference. All that said am I correct in signing up for the Spanish 2 class?

We are trying to organize a lunch gathering for the Sunday after Christmas, for about 20 people, including kids, and cannot find a place where we can reserve a suitable party room (or similar-type "section of restaurant"). Have called around but am striking out... Does anyone have any venue ideas?

'I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.'
