Lease agreements are common and familiar documents to landlords but their provisions are governed by state laws and municipal ordinances as well as common law. Landlords and tenants have certain rights and obligations to each other regarding the providing of essential utilities, repairs, disclosures, security deposits, termination, rent and other facets of a landlord/tenant relationship.
When drafting your own Pennsylvania residential lease agreement or using someone else's, it is essential that your contract contain certain basic provisions and that you understand any restrictions on your rights, your obligations and those of your tenants and the remedies in case of a breach.

Basic Provisions in a Residential Lease
There are certain provisions that you want to include in your residential lease agreement and there are provisions that are not allowed. You may not include any provision whereby the tenant waives the right to sue the landlord for negligence or waives any other action regarding the landlord's legal obligations. The tenant cannot waive the right to a jury trial or the right to recover attorney's fees or any other damages related to the landlord's breach of the lease, implied covenant to provide a habitable residence or attempts to evict the tenant without a valid court order.
Federal and state laws prohibit discriminating against tenants or potential tenants on the basis of race, color, creed, familial status, age, ancestry, national origin or disability. You also are subject to liability if you terminate or otherwise take measures to punish or evict a tenant for reporting code or housing violations to a government authority or for joining a tenant's union.
If your tenant has a disability, you may not refuse to rent to the individual nor may you refuse to allow the tenant to make reasonable adjustments or modifications to accommodate the disability. You may be able to require the tenant to restore the unit to its original condition under certain circumstances. Reasonable accommodations includes the disabled tenant's use of a service animal. No additional security deposit can be charged for the support or service dog.

The following are basic provisions for your Pennsylvania residential lease agreement:
- Name of the landlord and address where rent payments, repair requests and termination notices are to be sent
- Names of the tenants who will be residing in the unit
- Description of the premises
- Term of the lease- weekly, month-to-month or yearly
- Notices for termination or vacation of premises
- Restrictions on use of the premises (no commercial use or illegal activities)
- Security deposit (there are restrictions on amounts)
- Date when rent is due each month
- Late fees and when they apply
- Rent increase notices
- Responsibility for maintenance and utilities
- Appliances in the unit
- Obligations of landlord
- Obligations of tenant
- Pet clause and deposit if applicable
- Subletting clause
- Repairs and maintenance responsibilities
- Parking spaces and use of common areas
- Right of landlord entry upon reasonable notice—24 hours is the norm
- Disclosure of the presence of any lead-based paint or hazards on the property for rental property built before 1978—both landlord and tenant must sign an EPA-approved disclosure form and the tenant provided an EPA pamphlet entitled "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home."
Security Deposits
Pennsylvania law puts limits on what a landlord may charge for a security deposit. It may be no more than 2-month's rent for the first year of the lease and one month's rent for additional years. Interest on the deposit is required if it is kept for at least 2 years. As landlord, you may keep a sum equivalent to 1% per annum upon the security deposit as an administrative fee. Any fund over $100 or which is kept for more than 2 years must be deposited in an escrow account in a federal or state financial institution.
A deposit must be returned in full to the tenant within 30 days after the unit is vacated. The deposit or any portion of it may be kept but only if the landlord provides to the tenant within the 30-day period a written list of the deductions. The deposit can be used for damage caused by the tenant's negligence or that of guests and not for normal or ordinary wear and tear and deterioration.
If you do keep any part of the deposit without the written notice to the tenant, you forfeit your right to withhold any part of the deposit and may be subject to a penalty of twice the amount of the security deposit plus interest.
Rental Provisions
As landlord, you must allow a tenant up to 10 days past the due date to pay the rent before issuing a notice to evict. Pennsylvania has no laws regarding late fees but you may not charge more than $50 for a check returned for insufficient funds unless the financial institution charged you more.
No notice is required for a rent increase, though other states generally use 30-days for month-to-month leases and 60-days for yearly rents.
Repair and Deduct is Allowed
Pennsylvania also has no statute regarding a tenant's right to make repairs that have been requested but not done by the landlord within a reasonable time and any such attempts to withhold the rent may not be upheld in court. However, if the landlord fails to provide essential services such as heat, hot water, electricity or plumbing, or the unit is otherwise uninhabitable or unsafe, the tenant is permitted to deposit the rent into an escrow account.
Lease Termination
You must give the tenant 30-days' notice to vacate for a yearly lease and 15-days' notice on a month-to-month.
As indicated above, tenants have 10 days past the due date to pay the rent before you can issue an eviction notice but there is no similar requirement for other specified lease violations such as using the unit for commercial purposes, having unapproved persons living there or unauthorized pets, engaging in unlawful conduct or otherwise causing constant disturbances to other tenants.
Except for Philadelphia where there is no dollar limit, you can bring an action to collect overdue rent and to evict a tenant in small claims court if the rent owed is no more than $12,000.
Also, landlords have no statutory duty to mitigate their losses from evicting a tenant or from a tenant who breaks the lease and leaves before the expiration of the lease term. Normally, a landlord would have to use best efforts to find a replacement tenant or not be able to collect all of the rent due under the lease agreement. In Pennsylvania, landlords may simply wait out the rental period before suing the tenant for the unpaid rent due under the lease though collection may be difficult and costly.
Right of Entry
Although there is no minimum time required before a landlord may enter a unit after giving notice, a reasonable time is 24 hours and this should be indicated in the lease. For emergency repairs, communicate with the tenant if possible for entry sooner than 24 hours. If the tenant is absent or fails to respond regarding emergencies, then any entry after a good faith effort to communicate is probably permissible.
Subletting Provisions
If the building you own has at least 4 rental units, you must allow the tenants to sublet. Otherwise, the tenant cannot sublet without your consent though you should include this in your residential lease agreement so that the tenant is at least aware of the prohibition.
Pennsylvania residential lease agreements must adhere to certain state and federal laws. Include the provisions indicated herein as well as any other relevant terms that do not conflict with state laws. It is recommended that you consult with a landlord/tenant attorney to ensure your residential lease agreement comports with all federal, state and municipal laws and ordinances.

WASHINGTON -- Guam's tropical forests are silent. The rattling, screeching, and cawing of the island's native birds have been erased by the brown tree snake, a devastating predator accidentally introduced to the island shortly after World War II.
Today, just as US government biologists hope to reintroduce endangered birds, a new threat to the nearly extinct species is looming: A major expansion of US military facilities on Guam is expected to sharply reduce wildlife habitat.
The future of birds on Guam might provide a telling first test of new US policy, proposed by the Bush administration and approved by Congress last year, which exempts military facilities from the ''critical habitat" provisions of the Endangered Species Act. These provisions required the military to consult with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to determine if any of its actions would harm species such as the birds of Guam.
Caught in the tug of war are the tropical forests on Andersen Air Force Base. The Fish and Wildlife Service says they are essential for the conservation of the endangered Micronesian kingfisher, the Mariana crow, and Mariana fruit bat.
Fish and Wildlife initially proposed designating 24,803 acres of Guam's forests as ''critical habitat" for the birds. After Congress gave the military the exemption from critical habitat, the agency slashed its proposal to a mere 376 acres off the base.
It is not clear how much of the forest would be cut down for the base expansion, but the vast majority of suitable habitat on the island is on base land.
The Air Force says it wants to develop the land to ensure its military readiness in the region. Guam, an unincorporated territory of the United States, is a major air and naval staging ground in the Pacific.
No blueprint of the military's plans for Andersen is available publicly. But Colonel Steve Wolborsky, the vice commander of the 36th Air Expeditionary Wing, said the Air Force expected to spend $1 billion to $2 billion to develop Andersen over the next several years, according to American Forces Press Services.
Gordon Rodda, a US Geological Survey biologist who was on Guam in November, said he was told to expect that most of the forest would be cut down for the development. He said the message was, ''Don't think buildings, think city." Rodda and several other biologists took the unusual step of raising alarms about the effect on Guam's birds of the military's exemption from Endangered Species Act provisions.
If Andersen Air Force Base grows as planned, the result will be ''the fastest extinction I have witnessed in my life," said Susan Haig, a biologist for the US Geological Survey who has worked on Guam bird recovery since 1987.
Some policy officials at Fish and Wildlife said that they hoped the military would continue to protect the species.
''Expansion of Andersen is not necessarily mutually exclusive with implementing recovery for these species," said Gina Shultz, acting field supervisor of Fish and Wildlife's Pacific island office. ''But I'm working in a vacuum here, I have no idea where they're expanding [or] how much."
When the Bush administration advocated exempting the military from the critical habitat provisions of the Endangered Species Act, it contended that the military could be trusted to act as a good steward of the environment.
The Guam birds' story ''is symbolic of why environmentalists fight over regulations and sometimes are suspicious of vague sets of promises and guidelines," said John Kostyak, senior counsel for the National Wildlife Federation, a national environmental group.
The Fish and Wildlife agency said the future of the species would hinge on the military's commitment to them as detailed in its Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan. The document included a project, 14 years in the works, to build a snake barrier around a 60-acre area on the base for the birds' benefit.
Brown tree snakes have no natural predators on the island and their numbers have grown to thousands per square mile. Barriers are one of the few ways to manage the population and are considered essential to creating safe habitat for other species.
But in November, government biologists were told that the military was canceling the snake barrier, according to Earl Campbell, the Fish and Wildlife Services Pacific coordinator for invasive species. Some government biologists fear that canceling the snake barrier project was the first tangible sign that the military's plans would imperil efforts to protect the endangered species.
''From my perspective it looks like they reneged on that plan, which leaves no protection for any of the wildlife on Andersen," Haig said. Technical Sergeant Jeffrey Capenos, the base's spokesman, said the fears were premature. He said it was too early to say how much forest would be cut down or how the rare species would be treated as the base expanded.

Booting Linux using UEFI just once on various Samsung laptops is enough to brick them.
According to reports on the Ubuntu bug tracker, the report appears to be caused by a kernel driver for Samsung laptops.
The situation is so bad that kernel developers are currently discussing a change which would disable the driver when booting via UEFI.
What happens is that the machine freezes shortly after loading the kernel and the user then powers down by holding down the power button. Afterwards, the laptop refuses to boot and the firmware does not even show basic startup information. Samsung has to replace the motherboard when the machine bricks.
According to H-Online, the Ubuntu bug affects 300E5C, NP700Z5C, NP700Z7C and NP900X4C series laptops. It only happens when Linux is booted using UEFI and it does not matter if the Secure Boot is on or off. The work around is to boot Linux using the Compatibility Support Module (CSM).
Installing Linux alongside a Windows installation using UEFI mode is, however, not straightforward when booting using CSM.
Samsung has told Ubuntu that the kernel's Samsung-laptop driver is the prime suspect as this driver has previously had caused problems for other Samsung laptop owners when booting Linux using UEFI.
Intel developer Matt Fleming posted two kernel changes for discussion a week ago which ensures that the Samsung driver is not activated if Linux is started using UEFI.
But these two patches have not been merged into Linux yet.
According to Canonical's Steve Langasek, Samsung developers are developing a firmware update to prevent the problem and have been at it for several weeks.
He suggests that users should start Ubuntu installation on Samsung notebooks from an up-to-date daily image, in which his team has taken precautions to prevent the problem from happening.

When I was growing up, children were taught "manners." Things like saying please and thank you, sitting quietly in restaurants and movies, wiping shoes on the mat before coming inside and certainly never putting your feet on the furniture!
Clearly this is something Obama's mother never told him.
And it's not just any furniture. It's the Resolute desk. According to Whitehousemuseum.org, the desk "was made from the timbers of HMS Resolute, an abandoned British ship discovered by an American vessel and returned to the Queen of England as a token of friendship and goodwill. When the ship was retired, Queen Victoria commissioned the desk from William Evenden, Royal Naval Dockyard at Chatham, England, and presented to President Rutherford Hayes in 1880."
It has been used by every president since except Johnson, Nixon and Ford. It is a storied piece of our heritage. And it's not a footstool.
Maybe Obama's mom did tell him to keep his feet off the furniture, but he never listened because he was too busy doing this:
Now to be fair, mothers of other presidents were unsuccessful teaching that lesson to their sons as well:
And it's not just Democrat mothers:
Furniture aside, I just wish we could go back to respect for the office in general. But I'd like to start with respect for the darned Constitution!

South Bay Sleep Apnea Treatment
Snoring is a common side effect of sleep apnea – a medical condition that refers to paused or shallow breathing during sleep. If you suffer from sleep apnea, you might experience fatigue, headaches, dry throat, and sudden choking at night. These symptoms can eventually lead to more serious medical concerns, such as heart disease and an increased risk of stroke. When you come to Dream Dental, our team of South Bay sleep apnea experts can help you find a solution. We can provide the following information regarding sleep apnea:
What causes snoring?
Snoring is caused by soft tissue in your upper throat. When you sleep, it is natural for the muscles in your airway to relax. If the airway becomes too restricted, you could suffer from sleep apnea or snoring. Snoring occurs when air is pushed past the tissue in the upper esophagus and can be aggravated by any number of conditions. Factors that contribute to snoring and sleep apnea include:
- The size and shape of your soft palate, or uvula
- Excess fat tissue in and near the throat
- Weight
- Large tongue or tonsils
How is snoring related to sleep apnea?
Snoring is a symptom of sleep apnea but is not always dangerous. Sometimes, it is possible for the opening of the throat to become partially blocked by tissue, which leads to snoring. Loud and persistent snoring could indicate a more serious problem, such as sleep apnea.

Japan's female population declines
by UPI
TOKYO -- Japan's population has declined, with the number of women in the country decreasing for the first time in recent history, officials say.
A population estimate published Monday by the Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry indicated that Japan's population shrank by 79,000 people to 127.7 million as of Oct. 1, 2008, with the number of females decreasing 20,000 to 65.4 million, the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper reported.
It was the first decrease in the female population since comparable record-keeping began in Japan in 1950, officials said, explaining the decline was mainly due more deaths and a larger number of women who went abroad for extended periods.
The Japanese male population was estimated at 62.3 million, down 59,000 from the previous year, the newspaper reported.
The overall population decline interrupted two consecutive years of population growth in the country, officials determined.

How To See Everything As Perfect
The moon is perfect as it is!
I don't care about its shape, size, location, or anything like that.
Don't ask me about my house, cars, career, or relationships though.
Although, I'm deeply grateful, I have lots of judgments about these things.
The reason is not because these things are different. The difference is inside of me.
Because, it is possible for me to see the moon as perfect, I know it's possible for me to see everything else as perfect.
This possibility requires radical mind reprogramming.
I believe it requires turning every moment into an opportunity to surrender one's thoughts and associated emotions for a higher purpose.
Every reprogrammed thought is a win for the world.
No action, thought, or emotion is ever small or invisible when its impact is projected over time.

That is, put images together to tell stories.
Some of the panelists this weekend include Ed Abroms, A.C.E. (The Sugarland Express, Blue Thunder), Matt Chessé, A.C.E. (Quantum of Solace, Finding Neverland), Sally Menke, A.C.E. (Ingourious Basterds, Pulp Fiction), Pam Wise, A.C.E. (Transamerica, The Dancemaker), Jerry Greenberg, A.C.E. ("The French Connection," "Apocalypse Now"), and Carol Littleton, A.C.E. ("E.T: The Extra Terrestrial," "Body Heat"). For those of you who attend (there is a fee, which is discounted for pretty much anyone who is a member of practically any editorial organization ever created) you'll get to hear some amazing speakers as well as have lunch, cocktails and pizza — over the two days, not all at once — with some of the top practitioners in the business. For those of you who come, it's really a great opportunity and tickets are limited, so I'd hop on over to the American Cinema Editors home page and learn how to sign up.
But that's only part of the reason why I'm writing today. I am asking you a favor. I am moderating a panel titled THE LEAN FORWARD MOMENT, in which I've asked five amazingly diverse and talented editors to talk about a scene from a film that they did not edit but which inspired them in some way. (For a review of the New York version of this panel, where Michael Berenbaum, A.C.E (Nurse Jackie!, 2009), Joe Klotz, A.C.E. (Junebug 2005), Andrew Mondshein, A.C.E. (Cold Souls, 2009) , Susan Morse, A.C.E. (Editor of Hannah and Her Sisters, 1986 and Manhattan, 1979) and Andrew Weisblum, A.C.E. (The Wrestler, 2008), just hop on over to the Kirsten Studio blog. It also talks about the other fantastic panels that were at EditFestNY.)
As I said, I'm having five really diverse editors on the panel. They are:
- Zack Arnold (TV, feature and web video editor – "Burn Notice" and "The Bannen Way")
- James Haygood, A.C.E. (feature and TV editor – TRON: LEGACY, WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, PANIC ROOM and FIGHT CLUB)
- Joe Leonard (TV editor – "Glee")
- Lisa Lassek (TV and Web editor – "Pushing Daisies" and "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog")
- Ken Schretzmann (feature editor – TOY STORY 3)
The films that they have chosen are THE CONVERSATION, RAISING ARIZONA, OUT OF SIGHT, MEMENTO and THE GRADUATE. So you can see just how diverse a group this is.
Now, here's where the favor comes in. During the panel I'm going to be asking for questions for the panelists on Twitter from the audience. But I'd also like to go into the event with some of your questions. So, if there's some burning questions that you've wanted to ask the creative brains behind the editing of features, television and web video, please add them in a comment below. I'll try and work those questions into the panel on Saturday afternoon. So even if you're not there — you'll be there.
Sort of like INCEPTION, eh?

CALGARY, June 26, 2014 /CNW/ - Petroamerica Oil Corp. ("Petroamerica" or the "Company") (TSX-V:PTA) confirms its intention to proceed with its proposed business combination with Suroco Energy Inc. ("Suroco"). Petroamerica's offer of $0.80 per common share of Suroco ("Suroco Share"), which can be taken up in cash, common shares of Petroamerica, or a combination of both (the "Petroamerica Arrangement"). Details regarding the choice of consideration available to holders of Suroco Shares ("Suroco Shareholders") in conjunction with the Petroamerica Offer are outlined in Petroamerica and Suroco's joint press release of June 20, 2014, and Suroco's Supplement to the Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement dated June 22, 2014.
Responses to Misleading Statements by Vetra
Petroamerica is aware of the hostile take-over bid offer by Vetra Acquisition Ltd. ("Vetra") to acquire Suroco Shares for cash (the "Vetra Offer") and of Vetra's press release earlier today in which it materially misstated Petroamerica's public statements, and refutes Vetra's misleading allegations, as follows:
The Petroamerica Arrangement is now scheduled to be placed before Suroco Shareholders for approval at the Annual and Special Shareholder Meeting of Suroco Shareholders which Suroco announced has been adjourned until 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on Monday June 30, 2014, with a proxy deadline of 8:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on such date. Suroco Shareholders reading this press release should refer to Suroco's press release dated June 25, 2014 for instructions on when, where and how to vote their Suroco Shares at the adjourned meeting scheduled for Monday June 30, 2014.

Forward Looking Statements:
This news release includes information that constitutes "forward-looking information" or "forward-looking statements". More particularly, this news release contains statements concerning expectations regarding the timing and successful completion of the Petroamerica Arrangement, the timing of the adjourned meeting of Suroco Sharehoders, the nature and timing of the Vetra Offer and other statements, expectations, beliefs, goals, objectives assumptions and information about possible future events, conditions, results of operations or performance. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur, which may cause actual performance and results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Material risk factors include, but are not limited to: the inability to obtain regulatory approval for any operational activities, inability to get all necessary approvals for completion of the Petroamerica Arrangement, the risks of the oil and gas industry in general, such as operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas, market demand and unpredictable shortages of equipment and/or labour; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; fluctuations in oil and gas prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and reliance on industry partners and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Petroamerica. You can find an additional discussion of those assumptions, risks and uncertainties in Petroamerica's Canadian securities filings.
Neither Petroamerica nor any of its subsidiaries nor any of its officers, directors or employees guarantees that the assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements are free from errors nor do any of the foregoing accept any responsibility for the future accuracy of the opinions expressed in this document or the actual occurrence of the forecasted developments.
Readers should also note that even if the drilling program as proposed by Petroamerica is successful, there are many factors that could result in production levels being less than anticipated or targeted, including without limitation, greater than anticipated declines in existing production due to poor reservoir performance, mechanical failures or inability to access production facilities, among other factors.

After beginning production early last month at its Charlotte Manufacturing Operations facility, DeWalt has announced the expansion of its Made in USA product offerings to include over 600 cordless power tools, hand tools and accessories.
"Our users are professional contractors and builders themselves," said DeWalt Professional Power Tools president Frank Mannarino. "When given the option, most prefer to spend their money on a product that is built in the USA because it's in line with what they do on a daily basis -- building America. There's a great deal of pride that goes into making things at home -- we're thrilled to bring some jobs back to the U.S. and reconnect with our users."
The cordless power tools have been in production at the company's revamped 75,000-sq.-ft. facility in Charlotte. The move is expected to create more than 250 new jobs.
"DeWalt is a global brand with American roots," said Jim O'Sullivan, president of retail operations. "Our goal is for the impact of our products that are built in the USA with materials from around the globe to be felt beyond the Charlotte Manufacturing Operations facility. We are committed to rebuilding the American economy through job creation, not only in the Carolinas, but for those who continue to build our country -- U.S. Veterans. This year alone, DeWalt has committed to hiring more than 100 veterans."
Though production has moved to the U.S., the company is still using global materials in the manufacture of the products.

If you do lots of browsing over the Internet, then I am sure your desktop would be very difficult to handle as by the end of the day there will large number of icons over files of different format which are to taken care of. Now let me take an example of normal types of file which can be found on your desktop like video files downloaded from YouTube, any wallpaper downloaded, any PDF file you came through over internet and last but not the least a word which is the best of save any text from a webpage rather than saving the whole webpage.
Now once your day gets over, you will put each and every file into their respective folders, which will eat up your considerable amount of time. So here we are today with a tool named as DropIT. Now this is a portable tool with an idea that whenever you work on system, you might end up in spilling all your files over the system, so if this tool is with you, then you can wind them up quite easily at any time and at any place. Download this tool with the help of the link mentioned below and then install it. While installing it, make sure that you check for the option which enables this tool to be available in the context menu of the desktop.
Now after you installed with tool, select all the files which are supposed to be taken care of and then go to their context menu to select the option for DroptIT. You will see that there are few pattern already built in the tool. Now let me tell you that these patterns are used to divide your files into their respective folder. A pattern has its format written in it, like a Sound named format will have .mp3, .wav or any other sound format associated with it and now when you will use this tool to organize the files then this tool will all the files under those formats under a single file named Sound. Apart from the inbuilt patterns you can create some new patterns with the help of new button.

I still have only eaten from the pantry for Nov, so when invited to lunch, I suggested I cook and we eat in the company cafeteria.
I made more chicken style burritos with brown & wild rice and kidney beans (used 1tbs liquid smoke in cooking liquid.) Chipotle veganaise on the side. They were a big hit with my 2 omni co workers and I got to pass along the seitan recipe. Praise Seitan! My friend brought this awesome tomatillo salsa and I'll post the recipe when I get it.
Yet again I forgot to take a photo...

Use this relaxation audio that will take you into a deep relaxed state to replenish you after a day of work.
Relaxation Script Download
Previously published in 12 Weeks to Self-Healing: Transforming Pain through Energy Medicine
Take a moment to get into a comfortable position…let yourself relax and feel yourself supported by the chair…let's take a deep breath together…now take another deep breath and feel your abdomen expand as you gently exhale. Allow your eyes to become heavy and close.
For the next few while I'd like you to listen to the sound of my voice…and as you listen…you may want to let your body begin to slow itself down…nice and easy…let all the stress and the strain of the day fade away.
You are beginning to relax…to let go…and slow down. Let go of your body tension…feeling relaxed…let go of your body tension right now…as you listen with your mind.
A flow of relaxation makes it way down from the top of your head…all the way down to the tips of your toes. You begin to relax…to feel your muscles letting go…they seem to just melt.
Your breathing is natural and effortless…you are beginning to slow down and to relax. Let all the negative feelings fade away…let the world fade away.
It feels good having relaxation move through your body…a wave of relaxation…and it begins at the very top of your head. You allow your scalp to relax…and the relaxation flows downward across your forehead…through your eyebrows and eyes…down to your cheeks and nose…and across your mouth. You even let your jaw relax a little bit as you unclench your teeth.
You are practicing letting go of your body tension…it helps you to open your mind to your inner feelings and your inner thoughts. As you listen even more…let the relaxation flow…just imagine more and more relaxation flow gently downward from your face into your neck…and let go…and relax.
It's a slowing down that flows deep within you…just imagine this flow of relaxation spreading out across your shoulders…and down through your arms. Relaxation flows through your upper arms…through your lower arms…and moves down into your hands, your fingers and your fingertips.
Imagine all the tight, tense feelings from your upper body are melting right out the tips of your fingers…your upper body is letting go as you let the relaxation flow deeper and downward. All tensions and all negative feelings fad away…and you relax even more through your chest and upper back…and now down your stomach.
You may even imagine that each time you take a breath in, you breathe in even more relaxation. And each time you breathe out, you let go of all tension. Just let all the negative feelings fade away…as you continue to unwind and relax.
Imagine this wave of relaxation moving gently down into your lower back…now down into your hips…your thighs…which just seem to melt…and you let it happen…you feel the tension leaving your body. You feel heavy and relaxed.
Your eyes are closed, but your inner mind is open…you are listening to all the suggestions, all the thoughts, and all the ideas that are going to help you reach your goal.

You've heard the saying and probably saw the movie but here is video proof that all dogs will surely go to heaven. The second after I saw this video I knew I had to share it with all the Road Bandit fans. I hope this video remind us all, that even though we might be the dominant species in the planet, sometimes we can be outdone by mans best friend.

Storck Aerfast 20th Anniversary frameset 2016
"2016 German Design Award for Aerfast 20th Anni. The Aerfast 20th Anni is the second Storck Gold winner selected by the German Design Council within three years. The Aernario models having received this year's Special Mention for the Signature Edition confirm the design awards previously won in 2013 and 2014 by the Aernario G1 and Aernario Platinum in the iF design award and German Design Award competitions. Storck Bicycle looks back on 20 successful years in various design competitions that have earned the company more than 70 awards." Storck Raddar
Since 1995, Storck Bicycle has stood for innovation, dedication and a passion for bikes. For 20 years, we have been developing, engineering and designing products that have long become part of the everyday lives of a large number of biking enthusiasts: products that have been created with careful attention to detail and a flair for the unusual. Our 20th Anni Special Edition is very distinctive as well. Exquisite design and high-end technology are the hallmarks of our frame sets that we have selected for this limited edition and with which we would like to celebrate our anniversary together with you.
Each model is limited to 200 units worldwide and is delivered with a signed certificate from Markus Storck.
Can a road bike deliver even faster speeds, better aerodynamics and more precise handling? With the new Storck Aerfast you can. The Aerfast frame set has been designed for optimum aerodynamics. The Aerfast takes the 'Sectional Aerodynamic Shaping' that's used in our Aernario family, and pushes it to the next level. The new Aerfast fork features greater stiffness and more aero integration with the frame, resulting in more control and less drag.
The rear triangle allows the gap between the rear wheel and the seat tube to be adjusted according to the type of tires fitted, giving you more control. The rear brake has been fully integrated in an aerodynamically favorable position behind the bottom bracket, again reducing drag while maintaining performance.
Rethink road bike speed, aerodynamics and precision handling. The Aerfast takes aero road bikes to the next level while maintaining the agile and exceptional handling characteristics that Storck have become notorious for. Storck's use of 'Sectional Aerodynamic Shaping' means the down tube profile is narrower at the middle when compared to the top and bottom, reducing the surface area presented to the wind and reducing drag. Hiding the rear brake behind the bottom bracket also allows for more aerodynamic seat stays.

A few weeks ago, I was speaking at Gaston College, giving a talk that I had already given a couple times, when I was inspired to start the conversation a whole new way. I'm not sure what moved me to tell the story this way, but something did, and so I stood up in that auditorium and said, "I want to tell you how I got here and by here I don't mean that I took Highway 85 to 321 to get here. By here I mean how I landed in this auditorium to talk about this radical idea of self-acceptance when what I set out to do fifteen years ago was be the best possible high school teacher I could be. Because since that moment, I've had several different careers, but they have all centered on this one fundamental fact: what matters most is that we absolutely positively know who we are and how we are meant to be in this world so that we can live our passion and purpose and give our gifts to the world. The world has so many problems, it has so many needs, and for every minute that any one of us spends distracted by some belief we have that we are not good enough, that we are not already what this world needs right now, that's another minute that the world remains unhealed. And the world's needs are too great and our gifts too important to solving its problems for anyone of us not to be doing what we are meant to be doing. But, first, I want to tell you how I got here."
At eight years old, my best friend Jenny and I conspired to get rid of our fat. It was 1981. We barely watched television. But what we did watch- The Dukes of Hazard-
clearly had an impact.
Even now, I can remember Jenny and I walking between our two houses, whispering about how we wished we could get rid of our fat.
Years later, I would come across this picture (and others) and startle at the fact that there was no fat to be vanquished.
Along the way, though, something else saved me from the worst in myself. And it came packaged not on the television but in books.
As the daughter of an enlisted solider, there wasn't much money for extracurriculars. My dad, however, came up with his very own version of extracurricular activities for me, and, truth be told, it ended up being so life affirming that it changed the trajectory of who I am today. Every Saturday morning, my dad loaded me into the wood-paneled station wagon and drove me to the library on the military base. There, he read the newspaper while I took as long as I wanted to select my stack of books for checking out. There was a kids' room at this library. And I would start at the far wall with the top left hand shelf and work my way row by row, shelf by shelf, wall by wall around the room until I had honed in on the books that I just had to have that week. When I walked out, the height of my stack rivaling my own, my dad never said said, "You can't read all that in one week." He simply put out his hands to help me to the counter. Every Saturday afternoon, I'd sit in the corner of my room and fall into a book that I couldn't put down. I was the girl who read in the bathroom, at the table, in bed way past bedtime. I couldn't get enough of books. And those books? They made all the difference.
Really, you might be asking, Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great or Harriet the Spy made all the difference?
And they did. Because what happened is that I started noticing how plucky these girls were, how well they knew themselves, how clear their voices were. I want that, I would think to myself as I read. So I pulled out paper and started writing feverishly, becoming my own version of Sheila, Harriet, Ramona, Pippi, Annie, etc.
What I have since learned is that writing is this incredible gift into yourself– it is one surefire way to discover what it is you know, what you think, how you want to be in the world. Writing can be the ultimate truth teller. And so by starting to write at such a young age, I figured out who I was and how I wanted to be before I got into the worst possible self-doubt of adolescence (not that I was devoid of it, I just believe I suffered from it a little bit less than I could have because I had already done some of the hard work of figuring out my way in the world with the earlier angst that brought on that self-discovery through writing).
Now, that doesn't mean that I wasn't without my hiccups, that life came without pain. It didn't. I had plenty of pain, lots of hiccups. But every time I mourned what felt like the betrayal of a friend or my invisibility or the loss of a boyfriend, I would go find the page. And I would write my way through it and out of it. Yes, I cried over that page. Yes, I fretted; I worried; I steamed. And I recovered there, too. Writing was the tool I turned to when I started feeling different because of my values and my looks. I could have turned to other tools– in fact, for a short period I did just that and my weight fell dangerously low during my quest to be a super girl until a teacher grabbed me, told me she would not allow me to do that to myself, snapped me out of it, and propelled me back to the page for my answers and processing and away from my body project– but reading and writing were always the places where I found not just the most answers, but the most honest answers.
Those honest answers- that self-awareness- became my addiction– knowing who I was and how I wanted to be in the world made me feel safe in a world that felt fundamentally unsafe. And when I struggled with the way that my looks and weight and clothes and socio-economic status were different from my peers, I returned to the page, asking it my questions, looking for answers, knowing that the honest effort of knowing myself and being real would ultimately feel more like home than selling myself out for a diet or a man or whatever might do.
But it was more than the writing that saved me. Early on, by middle school, I found that what I most had to offer others wasn't my looks but how I made them feel– the laughter or hope or solution that I came with always seemed to matter so much more than whether I looked the way that I wanted to look (which was taller and thinner with sleeker, lighter hair). While I might have pinned to look different, the people in my life didn't seem like they were waiting for that or wanting that from me. Processing that discrepancy– that I felt like I needed to look different to matter– with how others treated me– that they were receptive to what I had to offer right now– was a big lesson for me. I could desire all those different attributes all I wanted, but I still, it seemed, offered value in the package I was in right now.
And so I started to focus on that– what I had to offer right now. What if I never got taller, thinner, or sleeker hair, I wondered? Are these things only worth doing with the promise of looking different? And they weren't. They were worth doing right that moment and every day moving forward because they made my heart happy, made me understand my worth, and were my current solution to the world's needs. And so I turned fully away from the idea that life was only meant to be lived with meaning if I looked a certain way. I turned away from the idea that the only worth I had was visual, and I fully embraced the notion that what I had to offer was the passion and purpose I felt inside me, that my soul was the gift I gave to the world.
Welcome home, I told my soul. You will always be safe here. And, just as I would for my child or a friend or even a stranger, I kept my promise.

We had our 9 1/2 month well-check today at the pediatricians office and it couldn't have gone better! First of all, she was already caught up with her vaccines, so NO SHOTS TODAY! Well, except for a tiny flu shot which she handled very well. Her dad and I both got them as well except for instead of the shot, they gave us the "mist" (which I'd never heard of)! Apparently, they spray the live flu virus up your nose and it's not a strong enough dose to give you the flu, but it's enough to make your body's defenses "remember" to fight it off if you really get exposed. Weird.
So Miss Amelia is now 18lbs. 12.5oz. which is about what we thought. She's catching up (statistics-wise) and is now in the 50th percentile! yay! She's 28 inches tall (55th percentile) and her head has a circumference of 45.5 inches (75th percentile).
We were also given the go-ahead to add some additional foods to her diet (the Doctor said she might be getting her first molar)!! New foods include cheerios, greek plain yogurt, cheese and some pasta or bread (in small doses). Still no dairy. And our next appointment isn't until her first birthday!!!! I can't believe that it's only two months away!
Oh, and yesterday she stood up on her own and stood there for about 2-3 seconds! WOO HOO! We are predicting that she will be walking in her tenth month!

Philanthropy's leadership is critical to progress on diversity, yet foundation CEOs and boards do not reflect the nation's diversity regarding race and ethnicity, gender, LGBT communities, and people with disabilities.
While data show that foundation program officers are more diverse than ever, these trends are not reflected in CEOs, executive staff and board leadership. D5 is working to catalyze changes in foundation decision-making that result in greater inclusiveness and diversity among new leadership appointments.
Our priority:
|Create more inclusive CEO and trustee leadership by providing peer-to-peer dialogue, compelling stories, relationship building with diverse communities, and specific examples of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
D5 recently completed an inventory of existing leadership programs across the country that serve to prepare or enhance the careers of diverse individuals in philanthropy. Programs surveyed included those that specifically target the philanthropic sector as well as other programs that have direct relevance for the sector.
D5's work builds off earlier research conducted by the Council of Foundations as it developed its Career Pathways program several years ago. The resulting directory, serves as a resource to those who are working to advance D5's Leaders goal.
This study conducted by Forward Change provides a holistic, in-depth picture of the career experiences of 43 philanthropic professionals of color ranging from Program Officers to CEOs working in a diverse array of foundations. The study surfaced a set of potentially common points of entry, career pathways and obstacles of professionals of color in philanthropy, as well as the factors that helped shape those pathways.
D5 is working with an advisory group of foundation human resource executives and search firm professionals to develop a strategy to increase the demand for diverse leaders in philanthropy. Research conducted by the Council on Foundations, D5, and others indicates that common foundation practices and tendencies are significant barriers to increasing the number of diverse CEOs. These include hiring CEOs from the outside, strongly favoring those with "executive experience," risk aversion, and unintentional bias. D5's work in this area will focus on helping the field overcome these obstacles to a diverse leadership and create organizational cultures that are welcoming and inclusive.

Sa'fyre Terry going to Disney World courtesy of non-profit group
Florida theme park trip gifted to little girl
Updated 10:56 pm, Monday, December 14, 2015
Last month, Sa'fyre Terry got to ride on a float through downtown Schenectady as the special guest of Santa and Mrs. Claus in the Gazette Holiday Parade.
Not long after that, the Rotterdam girl and her family were flooded with Christmas cards from around the world in response to a Facebook campaign that also has led to hundreds of thousands of dollars in online donations to help the badly burned girl with her medical bills.
And now, to top it off, Sa'fyre and her family will be going on an all-expenses-paid weeklong vacation to popular amusements parks in Orlando, Fla., including Disney World, Legoland, Seaworld and Universal Studios.
Sa'fyre could hardly contain her excitement, but she didn't say too much Monday afternoon when Frank Squeo, founder of Baking Memories 4 Kids, a Rockland County-based nonprofit charity that helps sick children, paid a visit to her home and surprised her and her twin cousins with the news.
On hand was Zachary Cunniff, the young son of fallen State Trooper David Cunniff, who nominated Sa'fyre for the Disney trip that the boy and his family got to enjoy earlier this year. Sa'fyre and Zachary are in the same class at Jefferson Elementary School in Schenectady.
"I'm happy," a bundled-up Sa'fyre told her aunt and legal guardian Liz Dolder, who played along and acted surprised even though she has known about the trip for months. Dolder told the girl they would be in Florida for seven days in late February.
Squeo also give her a book, urging her to have Mickey and other Disney characters sign it for her during her vacation.
Before long, Sa'fyre ran off to play with her friends as they celebrated the birthday of cousins Jacob and Jasmine, who turned 8 years old Monday.
In between tears, Dolder said she looked forward to "just having fun for a whole week and relaxing."
She recalled how tough it was to keep the surprise a secret, especially when Sa'fyre and Dolder's daughter were playing with their dolls and pretending to fly to Paris and Disney.
Dolder and her husband, Michael, adopted Sa'fyre following the May 2013 fire at 438 Hulett St. in Schenectady's Hamilton Hill neighborhood that killed Sa'fyre's father, David Terry, 32, and her siblings, Layah, 3, and Michael Terry, 2; and Donavan Duell, 11 months old. The girl spent months in a burn unit of Westchester Medical Center.
She lost one of her hands and needs a specially made mouthpiece to stop her mouth from shrinking because of scar tissue problems. She has endured repeated plastic surgeries.
Last week, Squeo recounted how Zachary nominated Sa'fyre for the Disney trip.
"He loves her and they are together all the time," added Squeo, who started his organization years ago after beating cancer.
He said Liz Dolder is appreciative of all the love she has received.
"She's overwhelmed, and it's an amazing blessing," Squeo said.
Baking Memories 4 Kids kicks into high gear in November and December, when teams of volunteers bake thousands of containers of chocolate-chip cookies that are sold nationwide as holiday gifts. All the proceeds help make children's dreams come alive. People can help the charity by purchasing cookies through BakingMemories4Kids.-org.

Like many of us, I spent Thanksgiving with some of the cancer survivors in my family—which is why Cienna Madrid's excellent piece in The Stranger about "Munchausen Syndrome by internet," a disorder characterized by faking illnesses on the intenet, was particularly difficult to read this morning.
But while it's disturbing and angering to read about young women who faked cancer in order to infiltrate online support groups, it's also an incredibly interesting piece about how Munchausen Syndrome—which since 1951 has described people who fake illnesses to attract attention and sympathy—has evolved for the internet age. The internet mutes our "natural bullshit detectors," Madrid writes, since we "can't rely on facial expressions and other physical cues for sensing lies, and studies suggest that without those cues, we're prone to generously fill in the blanks." Which is how manipulative 19-year-old girls are able to trick otherwise intelligent adults into believing that they're suffering from terminal diseases.
Read the whole thing here.
