Prudential Bancorp, Inc. Of Pennsylvania Announces Adoption Of Plan Of Conversion And Reorganization
PHILADELPHIA, June 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prudential Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania (the "Company") (Nasdaq:PBIP), the "mid-tier" holding company for Prudential Savings Bank (the "Bank"), today announced that the Boards of Directors of the Company, Prudential Mutual Holding Company (the "MHC") and the Bank have unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Bank will reorganize from the two-tier mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure and will undertake a "second-step" offering of shares of common stock of a new Pennsylvania corporation formed in connection with the conversion.
"We believe that adoption of the Plan is in the best interest of our shareholders and of the Bank's depositors and customers," stated Thomas A. Vento, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Joseph R. Corrato, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "As part of our periodic review of the needs of the Company, the Bank and the MHC, we determined that it was the appropriate time to adopt our Plan of Conversion and Reorganization. The proceeds from the second-step offering will further strengthen the Bank's capital levels and support its lending expansion and diversification, result in a holding company with enhanced financial capability to better serve as a source of strength for the Bank and better position us to carry out our business plan in the future."
The MHC, which owns approximately 74.8% of the outstanding common stock of the Company (after giving effect to the MHC's assets), will merge with and into the Company as part of the reorganization and its shares of Company common stock will be extinguished. The Company will then merge with and into the new Pennsylvania corporation. The new holding company will offer and sell shares of common stock in an amount representing the approximate percentage ownership interest currently held by the MHC, based on an independent appraisal. The new holding company will offer shares of its common stock for sale to eligible account holders of the Bank, the employee stock ownership plan and to members of the general public in a subscription and community offering in the manner and subject to the priorities set forth in the Plan. The highest priority will be depositors with qualifying deposits as of December 31, 2011. In addition, upon completion of the conversion of the MHC, shares of the Company's common stock held by public shareholders will be exchanged for shares of common stock of the new Pennsylvania corporation pursuant to an "exchange ratio" designed to preserve their aggregate percentage ownership interest (after giving effect to the MHC's assets). The exchange ratio will be determined based upon the independent appraisal of the new holding company and the results of the offering.

Members from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Monroe Community College and the Monroe County Veterans Agency are putting on a benefits fair for veterans on Saturday, January 12th.
Ken Moore, the Outreach Coordinator for the Monroe County Veterans Agency, said that many Veterans may not know about the services and discounts that are available to them, so this event will be showcasing more than 45 different providers of veteran services throughout the county.
"If a veteran brings their DD-214 to the event there's flu shots they can have. They can actually enroll in the VA Health Care system there. Monroe County will be providing veterans discount cards for veterans and just a whole mass of benefits that are out there that are due to them. It's a great opportunity," said Moore. "I think you'll get a lot out of it."
"You know we still have a few tables available if anybody wants to get a hold of me they can most certainly participate. But it's all the providers that do things to help veterans with benefits," Moore added.
The fair will be held on MCC's campus on January 12th, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Now that you're a Berliner…
by Guest Blogger
So, you say youвАЩve been here for a while, now? YouвАЩve got a job, an apartment and a Sp√§ti owner who always says hi to you? YouвАЩve survived a whole winter (or at least a few months of it) and lived to tell the tale? YouвАЩve already been practically run over by a speeding cyclist and yelled at by a cab driver (only to curse back in return)? YouвАЩve memorised the U-Bahn and donвАЩt actually need to carry around a map anymore? Well, congratulations: youвАЩve made itвА¶ halfway.
ThatвАЩs because, luckily or unluckily for you, becoming a local is no step-by-step process. Learning to know and love and conquer a city is an experience for which there is no rulebook; a mind-boggling journey of twists and turns, of failing and falling and getting back up again, of trying to make sense of the incomprehensible. Only you will know when youвАЩre finally at home here, and only you will sense when calling yourself a local stops sounding like wishful thinking and begins to ring true.
In the meantime, though, here are some tips to help you navigate the wild, roiling waves of the city, in those first few months when you think you might drown in the wonderfulness of it allвАФthat is, until something fundamental snaps you back to the surface. When those little glitches fail to rile you because you can anticipate them before they happen, thatвАЩs when youвАЩll know youвАЩre a Berliner.
Now That YouвАЩre a Berliner, YouвАЩll KnowвА¶
вА¶ To cross on the red in the right circumstances.
Sure, youвАЩve been told itвАЩs the greatest sin in Germany – that whatever you do, you should never ever cross the street on a red pedestrian signal (Ampelm√§nnchen or вАЬlittle traffic light manвАЭ in the former east, as the lights are actually shaped into little men walking or standing still, now a beloved symbol of the city). Indeed, Germans are notorious for following this particular rule even when no one is watching (it could be 3am with not a car in sight, and the only other person at the crosswalk will wait for green). You may have heard stories from friends who were yelled at by old cranks when they crossed the road before the light turned green, or given absolutely penetrating looks by parents standing patiently at the curb with young children. But really, 99 times out of 100, the worst that can happen to you is just that: a few nasty looks, a few raised voices, a couple of people who seem to think they need to give you an abbreviated etiquette lesson. By the 100th time you may actually run into a policeman, but the worst heвАЩll probably do is scold you lightly and tell you to be on your way.
This is really one of those rules that you can break, once you feel comfortable doing so. Sure, it might be best not to exercise your human right to traverse the crosswalk freely when there are young children around if you fear the wrath of their parents, but you can always reason it away: most parents who are adamantly against crossing on red argue that it sets a bad example for their children. But really, blindly following the red or the green man sets a bad example as well, and can be downright dangerous if a car is speeding or goes through a red light after youвАЩve taken your first steps into the crosswalk. It is a far, far better thing to teach children to observe whatвАЩs going on around them, assess the situation, and then cross when all signs point to it being safe.
Of course, as with many rules that are meant to be broken, this one is also occasionally meant to be followed, and for good reason. Besides being yelled at by senior citizens, thereвАЩs nothing more embarrassing than having to jump out of the way to dodge a honking, oncoming car just after you blithely, ever so nonchalantly waltzed into the street on red.
вА¶ Not to begin every conversation with вАЬDo you speak English?вАЭ when what you really mean is, вАЬIвАЩm sorry I donвАЩt speak German.вАЭ
You may have felt it before: that slight twinge of embarrassment or shame when youвАЩre in a foreign country, have to communicate with someone, and donвАЩt yet know whether he or she will be able to communicate with you. The only thing to do is begin with вАЬDo you speak English?вАЭ ItвАЩs a slippery, precarious slope: only a few more of those charming conversation starters and youвАЩll be on your way towards becoming one of those tourists.
Luckily, you live in a city where people are very likely to speak EnglishвАФor at least enough English to get you what you want. But why not start by assuming this? Start by assuming that they are better in English than you probably are in German, and give them the benefit of the doubt. A perfect opening phrase to use, which will get you the same results as the dreaded вАЬdo you speak English?вАЭ but with far more respect implied, is the more polite, subtle, probing, вАЬCan we speak English?вАЭ This does double duty, not only assuming that your speaking partner is already bilingual, but also handing over the proverbial reins: of course, it is implied that the conversation will continue in English, but it also suggests that the choice rests not with you, but with the person you are addressing.
WhatвАЩs more, when you get to the point where you probably can speak enough German to conduct the conversation in that language, but perhaps do not feel quite as confident as you should, you can ask the question in German instead (вАЬK√ґnnen wir Englisch sprechen?вАЭ) and bask in the well-earned satisfaction of having your partner reply, вАЬAber Dein Deutsch ist viel besser als mein Englisch!вАЭ (вАЬYour German is far better than my English!вАЭ)
вА¶ Not to make blanket statements about вАЬWessisвАЭ versus вАЬOssisвАЭ unless you really know what youвАЩre talking about (in which case youвАЩre probably an Ossi, no wait, a Wessi).
Not¬†long ago, Germany was two countries; this you know for sure.¬† What you might not know, however, is that it kind of, sort of still isвА¶ at least in the minds of some Germans.
You may not really get it until you get to Berlin, and even then it can be somewhat hard to believe, but each year some newspaper (or at least your first German teacher, eager to make an impression on you) reports that an astonishingly high percentage of East Germans wish the Berlin Wall were still up. This may sound insane considering what the Ossis went through under ruthless dictatorship (by the way, donвАЩt call it that in front of an Ossi unless you know them well), but it makes perfect sense considering what theyвАЩve been through since. Instead of feeling like theyвАЩd reunited with a long last friend, the other half of their homeland, many Ossis (East Germans, taken from Ost for East) believe that their culture, their beliefs, and the entire history of their short-lived nation were taken over by a country that had become entirely foreign to them. Going back to a reunited Germany meant they were now in the world of the Wessi (from the German word West).
In fact, when the Wall fell, East Germans had so much catching up to do, it was almost inevitable they would fall behind. And fall behind they did, as statistics show that East German cities and towns continue to shrink, mostly as the result of the exact brain-drain the Soviets feared when they put up a wall in the first place: young people with means, education, or any small amount of talent still tend to leave East Germany for better prospects in the West. What they find when they get there, however, is a society that seems to be rigged against them, with very few former citizens of the DDR winning promotions and career advancements, let alone reaching the tops of their fields. (One notable exception, it should be said, is Chancellor Angela Merkel, although there are even those who would attribute her every misstep to her East German background.) A recent article in translation on Spiegel Online referred to this as вАЬa different type of glass ceiling,вАЭ observing that, even a couple of decades after the Wall has come down, вАЬat times, it feels as if East and West Germans are becoming more and more estranged.вАЭ
The only way to really understand what itвАЩs like to be an Ossi is to talk to some former citizens of East Germany, and when you do, make no assumptions or authoritative statements, because youвАЩll realise pretty quickly how little you know. Many older Ossis still chuckle at what they went through and what they had to do to survive, while some still insist, as their desire to rebuild the Berlin Wall might suggest, that things were better back then. ThereвАЩs no way to go back in time and find out what it was really like, and the number of people with vivid memories of East Germany will continue to dwindle over the next few decades. Honour their experiences by listening to them and accepting that, in the newly reunited German Republic, everything is not as it seems.
вА¶ To leave all those comments about Schwaben to the Germans.
Even if youвАЩve only been here for a week, youвАЩve probably already sensed that thereвАЩs a debate about gentrification raging right in your neighbourhood. ThatвАЩs because, after years of seemingly paying a pittance for a palace, Berliners are starting to suffer from a drastic rise in rents for which they are probably, at some point, going to blame you. Yes, whether itвАЩs fair or not, as a non-German new Berliner, you will likely be faced with the wrath of people who have been here for longer, either directly or indirectly. And itвАЩs really not fun. Complaints about gentrification in which you become the culprit are a double-edged sword: youвАЩre basically being told, in one fell swoop, that not only was the city better before you got here, it actually got worse because you decided to come. Whether you ignore these comments or feel terribly hurt by them, one thing is bound to make you feel better: the Schwaben have it worse.
Who are the Schwaben, you might ask? Some little-known tribe the Romans vanquished in the year 52 BC, on their way to tussle with the Gauls? Some 1970вАЩs electronic band that came seeking fame and fortune and was summarily kicked out of the city because Berliners werenвАЩt ready for techno yet? No, the Schwaben (Swabians) are alive and well, and theyвАЩve taken over Berlin, as anyone who isnвАЩt one of them would have you believe. They come from a region of the same name (Swabia in English) in southwest Germany that compromises the area of Baden-W√Љrttemburg and part of Bavaria, and is known as one of the richest parts of Germany. Like Bavarians, Swabians have their own culture, history, and cuisine, along with a dialect that can seem incomprehensibleвАФeven laughableвАФto Germans who arenвАЩt from there. Over the years theyвАЩve been the butt of many jokes and the victims of many an insult from the rest of the country, but perhaps none so cruel as the accusation that they are ruining Berlin.
True, many of the people who rushed in to buy up the city just after the Wall fell were very wealthy Germans from the south, and some of them were from Schwaben. Even today, with Prenzlauer Berg thoroughly gentrified and Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg well on their way, youвАЩll still see graffiti against the Schwaben defacing many a new storefront or recently renovated building. YouвАЩll even hear someone drunkenly railing against them on public transport every once in a while. But really, regardless of whether the rumours are true, where is most of the antagonism coming from, and who is it helping? In fact, many of the people who grumble the loudest about the so-called Swabian takeover of Berlin originally come from richer, more prosperous areas of the country, lured here by the same things that brought everyone else. The sad truth of the matter is that many of BerlinвАЩs original Berliners left these neighbourhoods long ago; people who survived an East German dictatorship only to be felled by capitalism in the end after all. Now those who replaced them back in the early вАШ90s are complaining about the scourge of international wealth sweeping the city, pushing them out. ItвАЩs playing out in every popular city in the world, and will no doubt repeat yet again. But until Berliners find some way to break the cycle, theyвАЩll still be one word for their ire: Schwaben.
вА¶ Not to make jokes about KennedyвАЩs вАЬIch bin ein BerlinerвАЭ speech.
In 1963, American President John F. Kennedy addressed thousands of West Berlin citizens in front of the Rathaus Sch√ґneberg, on a square now called John-F-Kennedy-Platz. The aim was to send a clear message to the Soviets that Americans stood with West Germany and West Berlin, at that point still separated from the rest of the country and just as fearful as ever of a Russian takeover. The speech was a great moment for both the president and West Berliners, who needed all the encouragement they could get, and has gone down in history as one of KennedyвАЩs best, but most people have very little memory of what it was meant to convey. In fact, they remember one thing and one thing only: when Kennedy, in what was meant to be an expression of solidarity, uttered the immortal words вАЬIch bin ein Berliner,вАЭ he was actually making a horrible gaffe, as вАЬein BerlinerвАЭ is not a person who lives in Berlin, but rather a type of jelly donut.
Comedians are still thanking him to this day. ThereвАЩs no telling who reported the embarrassment first, but the media latched on to the story, turning it into something of a legend, a particularly hilarious bit of pop culture history that everyone knows, but still brings up as if theyвАЩre the first to mention it. The trouble is, John F. KennedyвАЩs phrase was not a mistranslation at all, and whatвАЩs more, would not have sounded particularly funny to Berliners anyway. ThatвАЩs because what some Germans label a вАЬBerlinerвАЭ is actually called a вАЬPfannkuchenвАЭ in Berlin, and even a вАЬKrapfenвАЭ in various other parts of the country. WhatвАЩs more, due to an obscure bit of German grammar that allows the meaning of a sentence to change entirely, depending on the article used, what Kennedy said was exactly correct for someone who is not actually from Berlin, but wants to express solidarity with the Berliners. While вАЬich bin BerlinerвАЭ literally means, вАЬI am a person who comes from Berlin,вАЭ in the context of a presidential speech, вАЬich bin ein BerlinerвАЭ could only be interpreted as вАЬI am a jelly donutвАЭ by the most obtuse of Germans. What Kennedy actually meant to say was, вАЬI am one with the people of Berlin,вАЭ so itвАЩs a good thing thatвАЩs exactly how you would translate вАЬich bin ein Berliner.вАЭ
вА¶ To get out of town.
The comparison exists for a reason: Berlin is to Germany as New York is to the United States. Both seem to exist on separate dimensional planes, operating independently of their parent countries, bucking all national trends and clich√©s when it comes to defining them. True, Berlin is the capital of Germany, whereas New York is very happy not to be the capital of the US, but both still have a tendency to keep their distance, attracting newcomers with the lure of that otherness and then holding on tight for a lifetime. True, most Germans who move to Berlin have probably seen at least some of their country outside of the capitalвАФat the very least, the area where they were born. ItвАЩs a good bet, however, that a percentage of BerlinвАЩs international population hasnвАЩt been farther than the S-Bahn can carry them.
Try to remedy this situation early on, since the longer you stay in Berlin the harder you may find it is to leave. Berlin is an island no more; no wall surrounds its western districts and there are no scowling East German guards at its borders. Getting out can be just as easy as getting on a regional train to Brandenburg, but you may want to venture even further, going as far north as Hamburg or as far south as Munich to remind yourself that there are other cities in Germany, and people who love them just as much as you love Berlin.
This you knew already to some extent of course, but what you may not have realised is how truly rich and varied German culture is. ItвАЩs easy enough to lump all Germans together, telling yourself thereвАЩs Berlin and then thereвАЩsвА¶ the rest of Germany. But actually, thereвАЩs Berlin and Leipzig and Munich and Hamburg and Cologne and Frankfurt and Stuttgart and Dusseldorf and Bremen and Freiburg and and andвА¶. ¬†WhatвАЩs more, since modern Germany is actually a fairly new concept and a fairly young country (about 150 years old, dating from the formation of the First German Reich in 1871, which shrank considerably after World War II), its different regions, which used to be kingdoms of their own, still display wonderful variations in terms of culture, religion, language, and shared history. When most people think of Germany, they think of beer, and Lederhosen, and women who look like milkmaids skipping through flower-covered fields surrounded by snow-capped mountains. This can all be found in Bavaria, in that part of southern Germany that shares the Alps with Austria and Switzerland. Somehow, the powers that be got together and decided it was better for Germany to have an image that involved alcoholic beverages, beautiful scenery, and blond busty women in old fashioned clothing than grey skies, dark winters, and the socio-economic inequality left behind by about forty years of dictatorship.
Go figure. Or better yet, go see what the rest of the country has to offer, and come back with an entirely new concept of what it means to be German (if you can figure it outвА¶ most of the country is still trying).
вА¶ To do your shopping well in advance of a big holiday.
If you plan on throwing a party for New YearвАЩs Eve, youвАЩd do best to make a list of everything you need on the 29th¬†and go shopping on the 30th. If you have to work on the 30th or are otherwise engaged with post-Christmas celebrations, make the most of December 31st: wake up painfully early and march to your nearest grocery store. Better yet, be ready to visit five of them. December 31st isnвАЩt just the day before a big holiday in Germany, you see, it is actually more like the day before the apocalypse. By this time you should be at home, basking in the warmth of the fire (or at least that particular feeling of smugness you get from being prepared). If youвАЩre unlucky enough to be out in this particular post-apocalyptic frenzy, however, prepare yourself: youвАЩll need emotional strength as well as physical stamina to brave long lines and not just empty but dusty supermarket shelves.
Best to plan early. Or better yet, outsource the work: dig out that dusty bottle of Sekt from last year, back when you learned your lesson by throwing a part of your own, and head to someone elseвАЩs house for a Silvester celebration that is all the more enjoyable because it isnвАЩt yours.
вА¶ To experience May Day in Kreuzberg once, and only once.
YouвАЩve heard it before, and youвАЩve come to believe it through multiple trips to the B√Љrgeramt, Finanzamt, or Ausl√§nderbeh√ґrde. Germans are orderly. They are very proper and orderly. They are so perfectly orderly, in fact, they tend to obey completely inane rules that would make the rest of the worldвАЩs inhabitants scratch their heads in confusion or double over in mirth (like only crossing the street when the light turns green for them, for example).
But there are a couple of days a year when Germans prove this is all for show, letting loose in a manner so uncontrolled and truly frightening, it would make the rest of the worldвАЩs inhabitants run and hide. One of these occasions is Silvester, the New YearвАЩs Eve celebration at which everyone under the age of–oh never mind, just everyoneвАФbuys firecrackers and fireworks and begins to set them off in the middle of the city, no matter how many people with a heart condition might be walking by at that exact moment.
May Day is another one of these celebrations. May 1st is based on ancient rituals celebrating the traditional beginning of spring (although by this point spring has been around for more than a month). In combination with Walpurgisnacht or the Night of the Witches on April 30th, this holiday has become a chance for many Germans to frolic outdoors, get quite drunk, and light bonfires. As a national holiday, it is also the perfect opportunity for political groups to campaign for workerвАЩs rights, leading to a number of rallies that, depending on the tone of the evening, can quickly descend into riots. In some parts of the city, activities can reach a dangerous fever pitch, leading to broken glass, cars set on fire, and clashes between civilians and police, who usually come prepared, dressing in full riot gear for the occasion (which of course serves more to provoke than protect).
In an attempt to combat this violent streak, Kreuzberg has instituted the MyFest, a day-long street festival with food and drink, DJs and live music, and dancing and partying alongside the scheduled protests and demonstrations of just about every left wing organisation in town. The area around Mariannenplatz and Bethaniendamm in Kreuzberg can become the rowdiest or the most exciting depending on how you look at it, while Oranienstrasse and the streets running parallel fill up with revellers, making it hard to make your way outside if you live in the neighbourhood, and even harder to resist joining in.
Join in or donвАЩt join in; itвАЩs entirely up to you. But you should probably experience this festival at least once, just to see what all the fuss is about. Then, in years to come, when youвАЩd rather go out of town for the weekend or have a much more civilized picnic on the banks of the Spree, at least youвАЩll be able to speak from a position of authority: youвАЩll know what youвАЩre missing. Just donвАЩt go by car.
вА¶ That Sch√ґnefeld Airport is in the C zone.
Not long ago, there was a mythical time when Sch√ґnefeld Airport was considered to be вАЬquite closeвАЭ to the centre of the city. Then all that changed, and suddenly Sch√ґnefeld was вАЬa bit far,вАЭ although it hadnвАЩt actually moved position while the city of Berlin slept. No, something far more insidious had taken place, and seemingly overnight: the city of Berlin had adjusted the boundaries of the A and B zones so that Sch√ґnefeld suddenly lay outside of them. Sch√ґnefeld was now in the C zone, and there was nothing anyone could do about it except reach across the great divide, previously only crossed on daytrips to Potsdam, and pay a few cents extra to buy an ABC zone ticket.
While this may not have been a big issue for most Berliners, it became a very big deal to unsuspecting tourists, who had no idea which ticket they needed to buy for which zones, and the ticket controllers who love them. In fact, ticket checkers had such a ball with this one, they would wait on empty trains sitting at the Sch√ґnefeld Airport terminus, looking like normal passengers having a chat as the cars filled up with tourists towing wheeled suitcases. The moment the train doors closed, however, the two would be quick on their feet, jumping up and shouting вАЬFahrscheinkontrolle,вАЭ which most of the train didnвАЩt understand anyway, and proceeding to fine anyone who had failed to notice that Sch√ґnefeld Airport had hopped the B/C zone border.
Perhaps youвАЩve already been one of these people, either as a tourist coming to Berlin for the first time or as a relatively new Berliner, just back from a weekend trip to somewhere warmer in Europe. As the S-Bahn train coasted into town, and you breathed the sweet air of BerlinвАЩs southwest industrial districts, you were suddenly snapped out of your reverie with quite the rude awakening, given the harsh welcome BerlinвАЩs transit officials apparently decided you needed. вАЬAll right, Berlin,вАЭ you thought, as you slipped back into semi-consciousness, clutching your reprimand in the form of a 40 Euro pay slip made out to the BVG. вАЬYou win this one, but not without a fight.вАЭ
вА¶ To stick around for a whole winter, or risk the wrath of your friends.
You may have heard it gets cold hereвА¶ pretty damn cold. You may not have realised, however, that the cold is only half the problem. When youвАЩre waking up for work in the morning and itвАЩs still dark outside, or youвАЩre coming home at night and itвАЩs already dark again, all youвАЩll long for is a little hopeful ray of sunshine through your office window, or a glimpse of brightness on your weekends. In times like these, it can be tempting to go back whence you came, or at least to hightail it to warmer climes like southern Spain or, you know, Australia.
Think of your friends when you do this, though. Not really because they will miss you terribly and bemoan your absence at numerous Christmas and New YearвАЩs parties, but rather because they are almost guaranteed to hate you upon your return. You see, summer is when all the wimps, the hangers-on, and the takers come to Berlin to enjoy the city at the expense of its year-round inhabitants. They lounge on the grass in parks theyвАЩve never seen snow-covered, donвАЩt even bother to bring a pair of shoes that arenвАЩt sandals, hardly own an article of clothing warm enough to be considered a jacket. And why should they? TheyвАЩre planning on leaving by the end of August anyway, or maybe, just maybe, sticking around until summerвАЩs last gasp, GermanyвАЩs Tag der Deutschen Einheit (Day of Germany Unity) on October 3rd.
In our mindsвАФat least, those of us who do manage to stick around until weвАЩre slip-sliding away down ice-covered streetsвАФthese people are actually hurting us with their ignorance. They donвАЩt know how much pain the city gives us in winter, so how can they possibly share our deep appreciation of it in summer? For that matter, if they think itвАЩs is so painful here in winter (because we keep telling them so), theyвАЩll never stick around long enough to discover the cityвАЩs small, cold weather joys, like sipping Gl√Љhwein (mulled wine) with friends while walking around BerlinвАЩs many glorious Christmas markets, or the thrill of sledding down one of its little-known hills (they do exist), or the satisfaction of actually getting all your friends to leave their homes and come out and meet you for brunch on a wintery morning, or the way the city explodes in colour and light on Silvester.
Sure, the word Gem√Љtlichkeit (a cheerful feeling of warmth and coziness) seems better suited to the jovial Germans in the south who have all but co-opted it, and is rarely used north of the Rhine except in jest. Yet something about it seems to fit the spirit of BerlinвАЩs winter months perfectly: a time to surround yourself with treasured friends instead of mere acquaintances, to throw fashion sense out the window in favour of cozying up with blankets, scarves, hot water bottles, and lots of fuzzy sweaters, and to find those small moments of peace and calm that only come to you in winter, when youвАЩre not chasing after every outdoor party or park barbecue, when youвАЩre not feeling the pressure to be outside or else, when you donвАЩt have to make excuses to stay home curled up with a good book or watching a movie.
Berlin in winter will really give you reason to examine yourself in a way that flying off to Mexico or South America wonвАЩt, and your fellow Berliners will respect you more for being hardy enough to suffer alongside them. Then, when the spring comes, and you have your first sunny day in months, youвАЩll be able to enjoy it freely and openly in the knowledge that you earned it.
[EDIT: this competition is now closed. Click here to see if we're running any open competitions]
Just leave us a comment below with the answer to this easy question:
Do you have anything to add? What is one thing that true Berliners know?
You have until 6pm on Friday 25th July to enter. GOOD LUCK!
The Boring Bit (yawn, RULES):
1. You must be 18 years or older to enter.
3. We will keep a record of each comment in a database and then a random number generator picks the winner.
4. Remember to include your full (real) name and email address, so we can contact you if you win.
6. We will notify the winner via email on Saturday 26th July.

As the line between editorial and advertorial continues to blur, so does the public's confidence in content from publications versus brands, as evidenced by new industry research that explores this topic-with some unexpected results. A new study by Vibrant shows that only two% more of consumers trust content from publications (35%) than from brands (33%); and yet, there are more consumers who distrust content from publications (18%) than there are who distrust content from brands (15.5%). Additionally, the number of consumers that distrust content from media titles they know (12%) is double the number who distrust content from brands that they know (6%).

So I can get a fit for the night feelin' like I run The Loft
Feelin' like I run the Loft
Damn that take me back
To when Mo used to take me to stages daily and make me rap
from Jon Connor (Ft. DJ Drama) – We Don't Care Lyrics on Genius
Jon remembers the days where he would buy clothes to look fresh at his performance in The Loft.
Mo, former basketball player Mateen Cleaves who owns Jon Connor's record company, would book Connor shows daily at the Loft to gain him exposure. There were times when Connor would perform for only 15 people, but even so this experience gave him what he needed to achieve his greatness.

Although the chiropractors at Delta Chiropractic Clinic excel at aligning disks in the spine and adjusting stiff joints, their expertise goes beyond mere spinal manipulation and massages. Doctor of Chiropractic Andrew Tutino, or "Dr. Andy" as his patients know him, specializes in health techniques designed to optimize overall health, such as natural detox, weight loss, and reducing stress. So thorough is his knowledge of this topic that he regularly shares his insight with other doctors through lectures and books.
Established: 2011
Reservations/Appointments: Required
Handicap Accessible: Yes
Parking: Parking lot
Most popular service: Perinatal massage
What is one of your signature services? How is it performed?
I specialize in many aspects of women's wellness which include fertility, the perinatal time, early labor, labor and birth as well as the postpartum period and beyond. One of my signature treatments is called the labor preparation massage. This session is catered to the specific needs of each women and is a blend of relaxation and rebalancing techniques with the use of acupressure to support the natural process as the body prepares for birth. All of the techniques performed during this treatment are comfortable and safe for full term pregnancy and are supportive to what is already occurring in the body. It is a wonderful way to connect with your body during the last stage of pregnancy and a wonderful way to connect with your baby before your birthing time.
What?s your favorite part about your job?
Getting to work with women and partners as they become families. Supporting women during such a sacred and transitional time is an honor. As a massage therapist, it's amazing to see women go from feeling discomfortable to truly enjoying their pregnant bodies!
What steps do you take to make your clients feel at ease?
_I make sure that every session is special and unique for each client. I always provide time to sit down and talk before we ever begin a treatment so that my clients feel comfortable and are able to provide me with helpful information to make their session as effective and enjoyable as possible. I also do a postural assessment beforehand to address specific needs and focus areas. During the treatment, I set up special pillows for optimal positioning. I use a blend of eastern and western massage techniques with focused intent to create a safe space for a body/mind healing experience. I encourage my clients to communicate their needs and wants and to ask as many questions as necessary.
I also have many resources for support and education and a lending library for all my clients! I believe knowledge is empowering which is why I do my best to create an open, learning environment while also offering a serene and nurturing space for a relaxing massage experience._
Autumn Allen shows off her creative approach to haircutting and styling as a hairstylist working out of Coconuts Salon & Day Spa. After consulting with each client and their opinionated pet parrot, Autumn sculpts hairdos that blend careful technique and a fresh eye, using professional-level products from brands such as Pureology.
Hairstylist Linda Knowlton has two decades of experience under her beauty belt, including time spent working as a top seller for Matrix and Framesi Haircolor. Linda's styling strengths include dimensional hair color and precision cutting for all lengths of hair, though she has a special knack for helping long hair stay healthy, no matter how many people climb it.
Salon Serene owner Serena Seaton boasts 18 years of hairstyling experience and helms a staff consisting of an aesthetician, massage therapist, manicurist, and several hairstylists. The team offers a full menu of hair services, including Featherlocks extensions and haircuts for women, men, and children. Along with hair services, the salon professionals perform facials, nailcare, and massage therapy; their hair-removal services implement gentle techniques instead of attempting to duct-tape customers to a ceiling to extract unwanted hair from its roots.
Heaven Sent Massage?s experienced muscle soothers uproot tension and discomfort from deep body bunkers with therapeutic massage treatments. Patrons shed shoulder-retained aches and lower back pain caused by improper palanquin lifting with a 60-minute deep-tissue, relaxing, sports, prenatal, or hot-stone massage. The deep-tissue technique employs targeted pressure to banish knots and tension from connective tissues, whereas hot-stone massages utilize warm rocks atop bothersome spots to coax ligaments into relaxed submission. During prenatal massage, healing hands cosset lower backs and shoulders, reducing discomfort from carrying around a bundle of joy and his or her collection of ?Mom?s Favorite Child? T-shirts.
Couples indulge tired tendons and spend quality time together with a 90-minute massage of choice. While relaxing atop two padded tables, stationed side-by-side, duos melt under dexterous digits as they knead weary muscle fibers. Aromatic oils increase the calming experience, as lavender and other scents soothe the mind better than completing taxes by candlelight.

I've just measured my Sensor M, it have 74cm height from ground to the point where top tube bends. Specs says it should be 75.2cm. So I assume standover is being measured at the point a bit closer to handlebar.
Davidenko, I'd pick an S frame. I'm also fan of long frame combined with short stem. Standover height isn't a big deal after all.

But now the shelves in the school canteen are bare. The stranger at the gate has supplies that will ensure the group's ongoing survival, but at a cost. He wants a woman.Nick is a man with a plan. He'll treat Roslyn like a Queen, devoting the rest of his life to protecting and providing for her. In exchange, of course, for sexual favours.

The first chance she gets she attacks the ex-army man and attempts to escape, forcing Nick to contain her. And so begins his awkward courtship of the woman, with her chained to the bed for security reasons.Chained like a dog and forced to spend her every waking moment with a creep, albeit a good looking one, Ros is determined to escape.

Amy Poehler, Adam Scott
Parks and Recreation is preparing for what can only be called an epic season (thankfully not series) finale.
Not only will First Lady Michelle Obama appear, but there will be plenty of other familiar faces popping up in Pawnee for the upcoming Unity concert, which will include a special performance by Donna's (Retta) cousinGinuwine and — possibly — Duke Silver!

Breaking up is hard to do — in relationships, but also in business.
That will be especially true for House of Lies' (formerly) inseparable pod of Marty (Don Cheadle), Jeannie (Kristen Bell), Clyde (Ben Schwartz) and Doug (Josh Lawson) after they all went their separate ways in the Season 2 finale.
"We are recovering from the explosion," Schwartz tells TVGuide.com. "What happens when...

Henry Winkler and Paulo Costanzo
To some — OK, millions — Henry Winkler will always be best known as Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli from the iconic TV series Happy Days. But to a whole new generation of fans, Winkler gets recognized for a much more recent role.
"I did a Broadway play in October and a little 10-year-old boy came up to me and said, 'Hi I'm your fan,'" Winkler tells TVGuide.com. "And I went, 'Oh, you read my books?' and he said, 'No, I love Royal Pains."

Even though Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) could soon lose her job as a Pawnee City Councilwoman, she'll go gallivanting off to London in the Parks and Recreation premiere this fall — but for good reason!
Thanks to Chris Pratt — and his rock-hard abs — the NBC comedy will cross the pond to film their season premiere later this month, taking a bulk of the Parks Department with them. To find out why, TVGuide.com turned to executive producer Mike Schur, who dishes on all things Season 6, including its 100th episode, Leslie's new challenges, Ron's (Nick Offerman) baby and more!

Driver facing threat charges says vehicle wrongly searched
Michael Bontaintes, 20, of Derry is facing two counts of criminal threatening for allegedly accosting the female driver and a male passenger in her car after the crash last June 12. Defense lawyers want a judge to throw out drug evidence collected from Bontaintes' truck during the investigation of the crash, saying police needed a search warrant before going through the vehicle.
Derry police responded to the crash at about 10:30 p.m. But when they arrived at the traffic circle, Bontaintes wasn't there, according to court documents.
An officer found Bontaintes and his truck at a Fairway Drive residence and took him into custody a short time later, according to public defender Emily Sieber.
Sieber said in court papers that the officer then searched the truck - following a department policy to take an inventory of the vehicle - but never obtained a search warrant. Police found a knife, a digital scale, aluminum foil with burnt residue and two orange pills later identified as burenophine, according to court records. Bontaintes is arguing that seizing evidence from his truck without a search warrant violated his constitutional rights.
Prosecutors have objected to Bontaintes argument. A judge has scheduled a hearing on the matter for Feb. 21.
In additional to the criminal threatening charges, Bontaintes was also indicted for possession of a controlled drug, conduct after an accident and driving after revocation.
The criminal threatening charges are class B felonies, punishable by up to 3½ to 7 years in state prison. Bontaintes is scheduled for trial the week of March 11.

Driver breaks record for tightest parallel park
Updated On: Nov 30 2012 09:07:25 AM CST
Trying to perfect parallel parking is already a struggle for many people wishing to secure a driver's license. For German stunt driver Ronny Wechselberger, parallel parking is trouble-free, especially when he's maneuvering a car into the tightest spaces.
Wechselberger regained the Guinness World title for the tightest parallel parking job, when he managed to slide his way into two vehicles with only 5.51 inches of space to spare. His new record bested China's Han Yue, who holds a 5.91-inch benchmark.
In the video, Wechselberger drifted and stuffed his 3.54-meter black Volkswagen Up into a thin 3.68-meter narrow gap, with only 13.8-centimeter leftover space.
The skilled wheelsman previously held the record with 10.2 inches of space in 2011 until Han Yue beat his record last May. Wechselberger's video has been watched more than 165,000 times since it was posted on YouTube.
