Gently used DaVinci crib (non dropside)
Very gently used DaVanci dark brown crib. This is a non-dropside crib. It was purchased 1 1/2 years ago. Model: Kalani, color: Espresso, retail value: $240. We do not have/cannot take pictures since crib had to be taken down to make room in our apartment. It comes with a converter rail for a toddler bed. We also have the mattress (also shrink wrapped). One of the front leg screws is missing (we held it together with duct tape but you can easily go to Hardware store to buy a replacement screw). All other screws/parts are included. Also, the assembly instructions have been misplaced though we are happy to provide tips. The price of the crib is negotiable. Call Robert at 347-574-1727 if interested.
The following link shows what the crib looks like when assembled:

NYU Graduate Film Looking to Shoot in Ditmas Home From Sat. Nov 12th - Saturday Nov. 19th
Hello,
My name is Geoff Mansfield and I am producing an NYU graduate film TV show and we are looking to film at a house in Brooklyn over the week of November 14th (from Saturday the 11th to Saturday the 19th). We've got some phenomenal actors and it's going to be a great mix of comedy and drama (Alexander Payne's work has been our touchstone). Ideally, we're looking for a home in Ditmas that could double for Anytown, USA -- albeit, a tremendously idyllic and beautiful Anytown -- and we'd love your place to be furnished. We are looking to spend around $1600 for the week.
The shoot will be minimally invasive (by film shoot standards), your property and belongings will be fully insured, we won't film longer than from 8-8, and your support would make a really, really neat project possible. And, of course, we'd love to have you at the screening in March. This is somewhat vague, but I can gladly elaborate via email if this sounds like something you'd be interested in and/or if you have any questions. If you are really interested and could send us photos of your home, that would be immensely appreciated.
I can be reached at busktv@gmail.com .
Cheers,
Geoff

For immediate release
TENNIS ANYONE?
PROSPECT PARK TENNIS CENTER ANNOUNCES
OPENING OF INDOOR TENNIS SEASON
Brooklyn, NY – The Prospect Park Tennis Center announces the opening of its indoor tennis season on Monday, October 24. As the weather turns colder and the days grow shorter, there’s no need to hang up your rackets for the winter. The bubble is up so you will be protected from the elements. We also have newly renovated clay courts to protect your precious knees.
Haven’t played in years? Come take lessons from our friendly and welcoming tennis pros!
The Prospect Park Tennis Center is open daily from 7am until 11pm. Call (718) 436-2500 for more information or visit www.prospectpark.org. There are hourly and seasonal rates available. We are also offering a First Weekend Special on October 28th and 29th – Get two hours for the price of one! (Valid from 7pm until 11pm.)
Be part of a tradition of tennis in Prospect Park that stretches all the way back to 1885, when the lawn tennis craze swept the nation. By 1900, the Long Meadow was home to over 300 tennis courts! In 1960, tennis was moved to the historic Parade Ground with the construction of surfaced courts. In 2006 the Prospect Park Alliance opened the Tennis Center at the Parade Ground under the direction of Paul Campbell. The Center offers 11 courts, 9 of which are Har-Tru surface courts and two are Deco-Turf hard courts. The Deco-Turf hard courts are especially suitable for Junior play and USTA League and Tournament training.
The Center is located at the Parade Ground on the corner of Coney Island and Parkside Avenues (Park Circle). Street parking is available on Parkside Avenue.
The Prospect Park Tennis Center at the Parade Ground is a program of the Prospect Park Alliance. All proceeds from the Tennis Center go toward providing a high level of service, programming and ongoing maintenance of the Center.

In partnership with the City of New York and the community, the Prospect Park Alliance restores, develops, and operates Prospect Park for the enjoyment of all by caring for the natural environment, preserving historic design, and serving the public through facilities and programs. Prospect Park’s 585 acres of meadows, waterfalls, forest, lakes, and athletic facilities comprise a masterwork of urban green space.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Brahms Highlights Season Opener For Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra
The opening concert of the 2011-2012 season of the Brooklyn Symphony
Orchestra will be held on Sunday, October 30, 3pm, at the Church of
St. Ann and the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn Heights. The program,
conducted by Artistic Director Nicholas Armstrong, includes Haydn's
Feldparthia in B-flat ("St. Antoni Chorale") followed by two Brahms
works, the Variations on a Theme of Haydn ("St. Anthony Chorale")
and the Piano Concerto #1 in d minor.
Concertgoers will enjoy a rare opportunity to hear Brahms's
Variations on a Theme by Haydn preceded by the "Haydn" theme itself.
"Haydn" in quotes because recent scholarship has pointed to the
composer Ignaz Pleyel, a student of Joseph Haydn, as the author of the
work which Brahms quoted.
To complete the program, the orchestra will be welcoming back pianist
Dan Franklin Smith in Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 1 in d minor. Mr.
Smith was highly lauded for his performance of Beethoven's Third Piano
Concerto with the orchestra at Brooklyn College several years ago.
"I have wanted to program the Brahms First Concerto for some time
now," Artistic Director Nick Armstrong said, "and Dan is a wonderful
pianist. The audience is in for a thrilling performance."
A reception to meet the musicians will follow the concert with free
refreshments.
Admission to the concert is free with a suggested contribution of $15.
Children are free.
The Church of St. Ann and the Holy Trinity is located at the corner
of Clinton and Montague Streets in Brooklyn Heights, next to the Court
Street subway station.
The Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra, comprised of talented amateur,
semi-professional and professional musicians, is one of New York
area's finest community orchestras. Founded 36 years ago as the
"Brooklyn Heights Orchestra," the group joins under the baton of
Artistic Director Nicholas Armstrong to present five symphonic
concerts per season of classical, romantic and 20th-century music.
This concert is made possible, in part, with public funds.
