The loan must settle by Wednesday 31st December 2014 and the $1,000 rebate will be automatically credited into the customer’s loan account within two months of settlement.

Brokers must use the code $1,000 Dec14 Refi Rebate in both the online submission comments and also on the Introducer Application Pack.

    Lodgement from 24/11 and settlement before 31/12? They are not serious about it.

  • by Bd 24/11/2014 9:59:54 AM

    they must have forgotten they had to drop our comms due to squeeze on margins! Wow where's that old chest nut...

  • by Broker 24/11/2014 1:50:50 PM

    A desperate measure that won't be getting my support.

iBlock : The Cutting Board That Holds Your Tablet $125.00

In a meeting of new world and old world, one might find more similarities than differences.  Simplicity and functionality led me to design the iBlock.  While I still enjoy going through a classic cookbook, I find myself surfing the web for the majority of my recipes.  I was tired of my iPad always falling over on its flimsy mount (which just took up even more valuable space) while scrolling through Epicurious.  Then it occurred to me: why not combine my cutting board and my tablet mount?  I really wanted the look to mirror that of some tablets out there, so it has a marble like finish, and the look of the dock is straight forward and consistent.  Additionally, this board is reversible.  The raised back serves as a stop to keep the cutting board flush against the edge of a counter when cutting.  You can see the design more clearly in the profile shot.  Ah, how I love something that serves a dual purpose.

Gear Patrol and Cool Hunting have also thought this butcher block is particularly rad, among others(it spread like a wildfire on a few tumblresque design blogs).  Plus it caught the eye of Playboy in Argentina.  Yep, it's just that sexy.

The slot is 1/2 inch wide and is about 3/4 inch deep. It holds an iPad 2 well.  Do you have a Google Nexus Tablet or an iPad Air?  We can customize this slot for you.  Just let us know what you need in the text box provided upon purchase.

The board has approximately a 12x18 cutting surface.  Edge grain is 1.5 inches and end grain 2 inches thick.

Edge Grain Walnut 145

Edge Grain Maple 128

End Grain Maple 175

End Grain Cherry 185

End Grain Walnut 225

Maple Brickwork with Walnut Mortar 295

Walnut Brickwork with Cherry Mortar 325

As always, we can personalize this cutting board for you.  Email us at nils@brooklynbutcherblocks.com to inquire about your desired custom cutting board.

Baja Beach Club Brings Jobs and Beach-Related Fun To Boca

Clean Plate Charlie remembers Baja Beach Club as the party palace where we fondly did whipped cream body shots off extremely tan shirtless bartenders back in the late 1990's.

We say break out the tequila and the Reddi-Whip, because the club that brings the beach indoors with body shots, beer tub girls, and other fun frat boy activities is making a come back and this time Boca Raton is the recipient of all this innocent fun.

The club opens at 7000 W. Palmetto Park Road on Friday, October 5, featuring almost-nightly themed parties like their Wednesday ladies night; Thursday college night (complete with bikini contest); Friday office party (with a happy hour from 5 - 9 p.m.), and live DJ's on

Besides indoor simulated beach bonfires, Baja Beach

Club is bringing jobs to Boca Raton. The club is in search of

bartenders, DJ's, barbacks, hosts, dancers, marketing people, shot

girls, cocktail servers, security, porters, and beer tub girls.

you're interested, come out to one of two job

fairs scheduled for Wednesday, September 12 and Wednesday, September 19 from 4 - 8

p.m. (both days), at the club. Bring a resume and ID and prepare for

an immediate interview.  We suggest perfecting your jello-shot administering

New hire preloader online work froze

Discussion in 'Introductions and Welcomes' started by Yosuke79, Jun 2, 2015.

  1. Yosuke79

    Yosuke79 New Member

    Okay so I just got hired Yesterday, I start work on tomorrow. When I log onto the sight and check my application status it had
    Honesty In Employment

    ADP 8850
    Employment Authorization and Verification (I-9)

    Form W-4

    Professional Conduct And Anti-Harassment Policy

    Direct Deposit (v 3.0)

    The thing is when I tried to do them, they all locked and now I can't. Sooo what's going on exactly? I was told not to worry about it but its a little unsettling so any ideas or?
  2. Turdferguson

    Turdferguson Guest

    Relax. If they told you not worry about don't. That sounds like stuff that you dill out during orientation process.
  3. Yosuke79

    Yosuke79 New Member

    Uh we never went over direct deposit some of the stuff they did go over but not all of it.
  4. UpstateNYUPSer

    UpstateNYUPSer Very proud grandfather.

    It generally takes 2-3 pay periods for DD to kick in.
  5. Yosuke79

    Yosuke79 New Member

    Uhhh if that is true should I be expecting paper checks or something cause I start tomorrow so uhh yeah i'm confused.
  6. UpstateNYUPSer

    UpstateNYUPSer Very proud grandfather.

    I am not 100% sure but I think new employees get their pay put on to a debit card; if not, you would receive paper checks until your DD kicks in.

    You start tomorrow? You will get paid for W-F of this week next Friday as your pay will always be one week behind.
  7. Yosuke79

    Yosuke79 New Member

    Aha so I'll get paid next week for this week on the 12? I guess when I go in tomorrow I should probably ask about the Debit card thing 'cause its always better to be safe than sorry.

    Thank you for your help kind person

Marchand Out Tonight, Spooner to Make NHL Debut

February 6th, 2013 at 2:17 PM
By Tim ODonnell

Brad Marchand has been officially ruled out for tonight's game against the Montreal Canadiens. In his place, Ryan Spooner will make his NHL debut.

'We're going to keep our fingers crossed that he's in next game," Claude Julien said. "He's that close. It's a matter of days here. It's not as serious as most injuries, except that we're being extra cautious early in the season."

The fact that the injury is not too serious is good news for Bruins fans. Hopefully, Marchand will be healthy enough to return to lineup for Saturday's game against the Lightening.

According to the Boston Globe's Fluto Shinzawa, Spooner will center the fourth line with Lane MacDermid and Jamie Tardif. Gregory Campbell will take Marchand's spot on the second line.

"I've been waiting a long time for this," Spooner said. "I'm extremely happy I get a chance to play."

We'll have to see how this new fourth line gels together. If they look good and don't turn the puck over, they should see a decent amount of ice time. But they probably won't be on the ice late in the game.

Step Four - Decorate your cup any way you wish. Use construction paper cut-outs, glitter, crayons, markers, paint, whatever.

Step Five - If you want to you can fill your cup with candy. (You can put a little tissue or newspaper at the bottom of the cup so it looks full without using as much candy.) OR You could fill it with other goodies and use it as a party favor.

Mahindra launches Mojo across 11 states in India

Mahindra Two Wheelers has launched its flagship motorcycle ‘Mojo’ across 11 states in India, as part of the second phase of its nationwide launch. Mojo has set new benchmarks in styling, performance, and riding quality ever since it hit Indian roads in October last year.

“The Mojo is one of the most exciting products from the Mahindra Two Wheelers stable,” said Vinod Sahay, chief operating officer, Mahindra Two Wheelers. “Taking this sentiment forward, the bike will now be available across 14 states and 34 dealerships, thus making it possible for more consumers to have access to a superior touring bike.”

To further enhance the engagement between Mojo owners, the company is creating communities in cities where it is launched. The Mojo Tribe will provide a platform for Mojo owners to share their riding experiences and plan similar trails with fellow members. Owners can also share live updates via the exclusive Mojo Tribe Mobile App, he added.

This 295cc motorcycle has a liquid cooled, fuel injected, single cylinder engine that produces 27PS and 30Nm. It is designed with a bias towards touring requirements and one of its strong points is the refined engine and massive 21-litre fuel tank. Mahindra has also thrown in a decent kit which includes, USD front forks, gas charged mono-shock, Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyres and a 320mm petal disc up front.

The handlebar and footrest placement of MOJO offer an upright riding stance that enhances the comfort of long distance riding.

MOJO also features twin pod head lamps with LED guide light and LED tail lamps. The fully loaded console includes a digital speedometer with fuel gauge, dual trip meter, and analogue tachometer. The twin-exhaust system is specially designed to produce a unique note.

Jason Goldberg Fab Color Portrait Illustration Fab CEO Jason Goldberg. Mike Nudelman/Business Insider

Employees at e-commerce startup Fab received an email on Wednesday from the company's human resources department telling them not to come into the office on Thursday and to await further instructions, BuzzFeed is reporting, citing two employees within the company.

The remaining staff will meet one-on-one to talk about the future of the company.

According to BuzzFeed:

Employees are currently speculating that tomorrow will signal another round of layoffs followed by yet another change of direction, these people said. Many expect to be laid off as the staff is reduced to a small workforce to sell the remaining inventory of the company as it transitions to a new business model, those people said.

This follows rumors floating around last week that the struggling site was going to trim its New York office to fewer than 30 people, down from a few hundred.

According to Re/code, around 80 or 90 jobs will be cut tomorrow, eliminating around one-third of the company's global staff, and leaving it with around 200 employees. In a statement to Re/code, Fab spokeswoman Amy Juaristi said:

We have parted ways with incredibly talented individuals for whom we have only great respect and appreciation. Realigning our team is part of a broader business plan, which we began implementing last fall and which will continue to unfold in weeks ahead. We are seeing great success in our recent private label initiatives and customized furniture launches — and we are aligning our global team to support that direction. We have every confidence in our path ahead.

Fab has raised more than $330 million in funding, but has had some big issues over the last year, including layoffsdeclining site traffic, departures from top executives, and product changes. Fab reduced its European website's offerings in January to only custom furniture

Academic March Madness!

There's a video related to this article at Byrdseed.TV →

The bracketed tournament is forever linked with the NCAA’s March Madness, but fun variations are all over the internet:

This way of determining a “best” is interesting, since, rather than broadly looking at all possibilities at once, we closely examine only two at a time.

Because of this close-analysis, a bracketed tournament lends itself to debates and discussions in the classroom, especially when students must learn about many options.

Let’s take a common elementary school subject: learning the fifty US states. Typically, each student chooses one state and writes a report. However, there’s really only one state everyone wants, plus a handful of “cool” states like Hawaii and Alaska, and then everything else.

Learning the US Presidents takes a similar turn. Everyone wants Lincoln or Washington.

What if we did a bracketed tournament to determine the “best.” This demands higher levels of thinking, uses multiple perspectives, and requires developing criteria to make judgements.

A New Way Of Thinking

Students no longer see Washington, Lincoln, and then a bunch of other guys. Each week, they will have to consider a single matchup, like:

  • Jackson vs H.W. Bush
  • Garfield vs Tyler
  • Clinton vs Polk

States aren’t just a big list. Instead we have a weekly debate over:

  • Wyoming vs Nebraska
  • New Jersey vs North Carolina
  • Michigan vs Ohio

The Plan

Let’s look at this as a weekly exercise:

  • Monday and Tuesday: teach the necessary facts about each option.
  • Thursday: students turn in a paragraph explaining and backing up their opinion. Then, you can give students time to discuss, debate, and persuade.
  • Friday: the class votes to determine who moves on in the tournament.

As students make their decisions, you’ll want to demand some evidence of their thinking. Help them form thoughtful opinions by developing criteria. I wrote about this process here.

The first round will take the longest, since you’re introducing all of the options. After that, the match-ups will feature repeat contenders and will move faster.

Tournament Details

You don’t need to know the nitty gritty of setting up the brackets, since there are many online generators, but students should be familiar with two concepts: seeding and byes.

In tournaments, the best teams shouldn’t play each other right away. For example, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln should meet in the finals, not round one. Instead, Washington would start against a low ranked president, like Van Buren. This process is called “seeding.” And if Van Buren were to beat Washington, we’d call it an “upset.”

If seeding is too difficult or time-consuming, just randomly select the match-ups.

A tournament works best when the number of options are a power of two (8,16,32,64). But, with 50 states and 44 presidents, this won’t work out perfectly.

Not a problem. The highest seeded teams get to skip the first round. We call these skipped games “byes.”

If you’re not seeding, then random teams will get byes. And again, byes are calculated by the bracket generator for you.

I used this ranking of the Presidents to seed a presidential tournament. As you can see, Lincoln, Kennedy, and FDR all have byes in the first round since they are highly ranked presidents.

Here’s a randomly seeded US States tournament.

You might run a tournament for the first 16 elements of the periodic table or the rare earth elements.

Characters from stories, explorers, or Native American tribes would all make for interesting, curriculum-based tournaments. I’m sure you’ll have even better ways to apply the brackets to your class. Let me know at!

Pre-Assessment Documents

In a previous post, we discussed traits of quality pre-assessment.

Here are three documents to help you make pre-assessment easier:

1. A Parent Letter

Keep families in the loop with your new pre-assessment policy. Otherwise, imagine what your student is reporting to mom:

Mom: Where’s your math homework?
Student: I’m not doing math anymore. My teacher said.

Pre-assessing and differentiating class activities will be new to many parents, so a little explanation up front will go a long way to alleviating concerns.

Feel free to edit this basic letter up to fit your own tone and policies.

2. A Planning Log

Once you implement a pre-assessment policy, students will be working without your immediate supervision. Even the most well-intentioned student may have trouble getting work done with this new freedom.

Provide some structure with a log of work. Students write out their daily plan, then write out what they accomplished, and finally they plan the next day’s work. Due date is clearly labeled on top so students can backwards plan to make sure their work is completed on time.

You can cruise by and check in on this log, keeping you quickly informed of students’ progress (or lack thereof!).

3. Project Presentation Rubric

I often struggled with how to “grade” the projects that resulted from pre-assessment.

  • On one hand, the student has already passed an assessment with a top mark, so that should be their grade.
  • On the other, many students felt that their work on a project was more satisfying if they received a grade of some kind.

So, I decided to have students present their projects to the class. I then graded the presentation as a language arts grade. This gave them a chance to show off their work, let the rest of the class see what they were up to, and gave them practice presenting to the class. It also gave me a way of providing meaningful feedback. The third document is a rubric for grading this final presentation.

If a students’ project was clearly a result of wasted time and little effort, the consequence was losing the privilege of testing out for the next unit. Naturally, your pre-assessment projects have to be motivating and interesting to students or this isn’t a real consequence.

Have any of your own ideas for making pre-assessment work smoothly? Sources for meaningful projects? Let me know at or @ByrdseedGifted.

I like the show Dirty Jobs and I've always liked Mike Rowe, the host. I think he's funny. But his Ford commercials are so incredibly annoying, I can't watch Dirty Jobs anymore without thinking of the commercials. Does anyone else hate the Ford commercials?

My cousin is visiting from Texas, I'm in SoCal where gas prices are high, traffics bad and cities are huge. Would it be unreasonable to ask for help with gas money??

I just bought a mini suv and it guzzles alot of gas. He wants to go to alot of different places which I'm happy to take him but it's really expensive. With gas, food, taking him out on the townand paying the nanny in order to go out I don't think I can afford gas while he's here. How do I tell him I need help with gas? How much should I ask or expect? It takes about 47 to fill my tank and by what he planned I can go thru that easily in half a day. Advice please and no bashing

  • just be honest and say that you want to do all that and are so glad he is there, but you need help. I dont think its out of line at all and if its his van he should be paying anyways. and honestly? it would be nice if he asked to help pay for a nanny too.But lol on the flip side....can you afford it? if you can then he may just assume you are ok with it. and he is coming to see you....

    Answer by Bearsjen at 12:09 AM on Jun. 20, 2010

  • Be honest with him and explain to him what you've said here. Because he wants to go to all these places it isn't unreasonable to ask him for some help with paying for it.

    Answer by Anonymous at 12:28 AM on Jun. 20, 2010

  • If you invited him than you should pay. If he is just barging in on you then ask for help.

    Answer by Anonymous at 12:38 AM on Jun. 20, 2010

  • Agree with 12:38, did you invite him?

    Answer by Mel_in_PHX at 12:45 AM on Jun. 20, 2010

  • yeah, if these are things he's wanting to do, i don't see any harm in asking for help or just saying i'd love to but i can't afford the gas - are you willing to help out? if not, here's what i am willing to take you to... also let him know the nanny cost cuts into the gas and fun budget. every time i go on vacation i plan on spending money for my own entertainment, regardless if i know if friends or family can take me in and want to take me places. if you weren't willing to drive or couldn't go then what are his options anyway?... to pay for a rental etc. - so he's saving money if he contributes...

    Answer by figaro8895 at 12:56 AM on Jun. 20, 2010

  • Gas isn't THAT much in SoCal.

    Answer by Anonymous at 12:58 AM on Jun. 20, 2010

  • No I didn't invite him he planned to visit on his own. I am already hooking him up with 2 nights of free hotel room because our friend owns the place, that would normally cost 260 a night. The other 3 nights he's staying with me. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask him just wanted advice. And yes anon it is expensive here. My nearest gas stations gas prices are $3.19. Driving yo Venice, Santa Monica, back home to Glendale then Hollywood at night ain't cheap and that's not considering any other cost

    Answer by ProudMammaMia at 1:05 AM on Jun. 20, 2010

  • you could maybe hint about it in a joking kind of way. say ' Man, driving you around is getting expensive!" but do it laughing so he doesn't take it as you being rude. If he doesn't get the hint than directly ask him. Just tell him the truth. Tell him that you are so glad he has come to visit but gas is expensive and you need a little help.

Are you (or have you been) in an open marriage?

If so, what kind is it? Did your relationship start out open? How did you get to where you are? Are you happy?

S/O. Just curious.

  • I'm in an open marriage and it works well for us. As to kind of open, it's not quite swinger and it's not quite poly. We didn't start out open when we got married. But looking back, I should have known I was poly but I was trying so hard to be a 'good girl.' Ha! My hubby was convinced that traditional marriage wasn't for us despite the misgivings I had and he's right. For me love is not something I can deny nor do I want to deny. Being open has allowed both of us to be ourselves, truly ourselves with no reservations. Our relationship still has it's ups and downs. We both deal with stronger emotions than what I'd expect in traditional marriage. The level of commitment is higher I feel because we've eliminated the biggest divorce reason off the table. There is no, 'you cheated so I'm leaving' talk. lol I'm happy with having an open marriage but I still have hubby problems like any wife has.

  • Not me, but one of my best friends.

    They were married for 25 years, about 18 years into the marriage they decided to open it up to spice things up. They were best friends, thought it would be good for their relationship. They had rules, and both followed them. They divorced two years ago. My friend still loves him, but there was so much hurt and resentment that built up she just couldn't live with him anymore. If any relationship could have withstood this, I would have thought it was theirs. They were happy for a short while at first, she says it was the thrill of something new and taboo.

Am I bad parent to send my little ones out to play without me?

My twins are 3 yrs old. They do not nap. Before and after lunch I send them out back to play together with out me. I can see them from wherever I am, I just choose to get other stuff done instead of being outside. They are actually outside right now as I type this. My yard is fenced in completely and they play on the swing set, sandbox and their bikes. I have been told by others that I am horrible for doing this, but its the only way to get a break and get some house work done.

    Answer by lovinangels at 12:56 PM on Sep. 9, 2010

  • I wouldn't say "bad mom".. but i absolutely wouldn't let my 3 year year old.. or 5 year old for that matter.. outside alone, fenced in or not.

    Answer by SuperrMommyy at 12:57 PM on Sep. 9, 2010

  • I was raised that way and turned out fine. Kids are not meant to be under their moms feet 24/7 or to be parked in front of the tv. Maybe open a window if you can so you can hear as well as see them.

    Answer by treynlisa at 12:57 PM on Sep. 9, 2010

  • I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Your yard is fenced and you can see them. Nothing is wrong with letting them have a little freedom without you being a helicopter mom.

    Answer by Cindy18 at 12:58 PM on Sep. 9, 2010

  • no your not horrible. my kids play outside without me all the time. especially in the summer! i cant handle sitting outside in 90degrees as long as they want to play. i can see them right through the window no matter where in the yard they are. i have a mirror set up so even if im in the kitchen i can see out the window. if your watching them dont worry. my nwibor and i actually take turns watching them( her daughter is 4 and so is mine) too so if one of us need a shower or needs to clean a room that we cant see them in we just let each other know.

  • You are not a bad parent. You are letting them know they have some freedom and some independents. I let my 6 yr and 3 yr old play outside in our back yard. I do check on them a lot and can see them pretty much all the time.

    Answer by Raeann11 at 1:01 PM on Sep. 9, 2010

  • I don't think your a bad mom, but I wouldn't do that even if my yard was fenced up. I usually go outside with my kids, to watch them. they are 5 and 3. I normally go outside and take a book, magazine or my laptop. I want them to be independent but want to supervise them and be there with them, especially at this age.

    Answer by babyangelromero at 1:02 PM on Sep. 9, 2010

  • If you are watching them I think it's fine. I don't know about them being out there and you being on the computer though. :) My youngest is just about to turn 3 and I let her play outside on the patio. When she's with her siblings (5 and 8) she plays in the yard. I just do any chores that are in the kitchen or utility room while she's out there because it's right there.

    Answer by Jessica157 at 1:04 PM on Sep. 9, 2010

  • I do it. My daughter will be 4 next month and we have a locked gate, we keep windows open to hear her and see her. So no I do not think you are a bad mom at all! Do what you feel comfortable with.

If you order the 4000 series drilled & slotted, as part of the package, do you get the gold or black hat?

I didn't see an option to choose the hat color when ordering the package like you do when ordering just the rotors.

Kim Kardashian's Pants Are Maybe a Touch Too Small

Pin It
Kim Kardashian is reminding us why her backside has a fan base all its own.

The reality star was spotted out this week rocking a pair of beige pants that were maybe a size or two too small, but hey, she's Kim K., so if anybody can get away with it--she can.

Kim has been flaunting her post-baby body in a series of revealing outfits, but she's been sticking to dresses and pencil skirts paired with crop tops for the most part.

This is probably the most form-fitting ensemble we've seen her wear since she gave birth to baby North West.

Don't get us wrong, we think Kim has a great figure, but do you think this outfit might have looked a little better if she'd maybe picked the next size up for these pants?

School Reports 2013: VCCP

Score: 7  Last year: 8

VCCP marked its tenth anniversary in 2012 and, while it may not have been as successful as in previous years, there was still plenty going on.

The year started well with the capture of the Saga account and, while other wins of varying size followed, the agency must have taken particular pleasure in welcoming the £25 million Müller account back through the door.

BetVictor, Macmillan Cancer Support, McLaren and Rugby Football League were among the other contested highlights. Out the door went npower and, while Carling called a review towards the end of the year.

The creative product bordered on the pedestrian, but there was the odd highlight here and there – work for, for which the agency produced some wonderful spots for the sponsorship of Coronation Street, and O2 continued to lead the way. An execrable spot for Müllerlight Greek Style yoghurt proved to be the real lowlight.

The HR department was busy keeping up with staff changes – VCCP hired the Mother creative team Faustin Claverie and Thierry Albert, but their time at the agency proved to be brief as they soon moved to Wieden & Kennedy Amsterdam. Elsewhere, the executive planning director, Tracey Follows, announced that she was upping sticks for JWT London. She was replaced by Michael Lee, who returned after a two-year stint at Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO.

Simon Rich departed as the head of planning, while Jamie Bell joined VCCP me (formerly Stephens Francis Whitson) as a creative director to replace Neil Francis. Andrew Peake was elevated to managing director and Michael Sugden was named the chief executive.

There was also the introduction of a series of additional added-value divisions to the VCCP Partnership offering, alongside VCCP me.

A branded content division – VCCP Content – launched in February and was supplemented later in the year with VCCP Media.

So, all in all, an interesting enough and evolutionary year rather than a spectacle that some anniversaries provide. But maybe 11 is the new ten.

How VCCP scores itself: 7

"2012, the year in which we celebrated our 10th birthday along with our founding client O2 was a busy one for The VCCP Partnership. Organic growth driven by client opportunities led us to open offices in Madrid and Sydney, whilst in London we launched VCCP Content, Live, Media and Conduit - our data consultancy."

The 37-year-old former Wales hooker will become rugby officer and coach the team that play in the Welsh Rugby Union Elite Colleges League next term.

It is a fresh start for both Jones and the Dragons.

The five-times capped forward has been involved with the region since their inception, making a record 180 appearance since his 2003 debut and then helping out as set piece coach after retiring because of a hip injury last year.

But Jones, who was inducted into Welsh Rugby Players Association hall of fame last year, is relishing a change of scene.

"It's a new challenge and one that I am really looking forward to," said Jones. "I'll still be involved in rugby and I can't wait to get started.

"It's a similar set-up to the Dragons junior academies at Newport High School and Coleg Gwent and I'll be doing some lecturing so that hopefully over the next two years I can get my PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education).

"I had 11 years with the Dragons and a change will be good, although I am sure I will head to Rodney Parade a few times to stop myself becoming an Ospreys supporter!"

"It was great to help out last year because I would have been pulling my hair out if I hadn't been involved in rugby after retiring. I am sure the Dragons will have a good season after making some good signings."

The region are now using former Scotland front row forward Bruce Douglas as a part-time scrum coach.

The 34-year-old played eight games for the region on loan from Bristol last season and is now player/coach with Cardiff RFC.

Douglas was a waterboy for the Dragons in their pre-season win against Bristol last weekend and will combine his role with the Blue and Blacks with helping out Dragons head coach Kingsley Jones.

"It's really good for me to have a front rower on board who has been there and done it," said former Wales flanker Jones.

"Bruce has come on board to help part-time with the scrum and we will see how he goes. So far the work he has done with the boys has been excellent."

Mushroom hunting in the woods around Madonna di Campiglio and Pinzolo

The woods of Madonna di Campiglio-Pinzolo and of Val Rendena are rich with a wide variety of mushrooms, and many experts choose this area for their end-of-summer hunts.

Below are the rules to be followed when hunting mushrooms:

Declarations of the intent to begin mushroom hunting may be submitted at the following locations:

  • Italian post offices by depositing the fee into the appropriate postal current account (acct. no. 1004000285 in the name of “COMUNE DI PINZOLO SERVIZIO DI TESORERIA 38086 PINZOLO”, specifying in the description “tassa per la raccolta funghi”, providing your personal details, and indicating the period concerned)
  • Pro Loco Carisolo: weekdays and Saturday from 6:00am to 12:00 noon and from 3:00pm to 6:00pm; Sunday and holidays from 6:00am to 12:00 noon.
  • Pro Loco Giustino
  • APT Tourist Office for Pinzolo – Madonna di Campiglio – Villa Rendena: weekdays and Saturday from 9:00am to 12:30pm and from 2:30pm to 6:30pm; Sundays and holidays from 9:00am to 12:30pm.
  • Town Hall: during hours for the public

New regulations for mushroom hunting

Provincial Law no. 11 of 23 May 2007 – abstract of regulations

1. Within the territory covered by the municipalities of the Val Rendena valley, the hunting of (edible and non-edible) mushrooms is allowed in quantities of no more than two kilograms per day per person over the age of ten, subject to submission of a declaration of intent to begin such hunting and payment of the fee required for the given collection period.

2. Children under the age of ten may hunt mushrooms, within the quantity limit specified, if accompanied by a family member in possession of a receipt of payment of the aforementioned fee. The maximum quantity allowed does not apply in the event that a single mushroom, not in addition to others, exceeds such limit on its own.

3. Mushroom hunters are required to conduct an initial cleaning of the mushrooms in the location in which they are collected and to transport them exclusively in rigid, perforated containers. Hunters must not damage or destroy mushrooms on the ground and may not use rakes, hooks or other tools that could damage the ground’s humus layer. Mushroom hunting between the hours of 7:00pm and 7:00am is prohibited.

4. Mushroom hunting is subject to payment of an appropriate fee based on the intended collection period, which is to be submitted to the town hall or through authorized intermediaries when presenting the declaration of intent to begin mushroom hunting or by depositing the sum into the appropriate postal current account, specifying the description “versamento per la raccolta funghi”, the personal details of the party concerned, and the intended collection period. In the event of deposit into the postal current account, the receipt for payment shall replace the declaration of intent and is sufficient proof of required payment.

5. The receipt is specific to a single person, has a validity of no more than one month, and authorizes the collection of mushrooms within the territory outside of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park and within the municipalities of the Val Rendena valley, including the area of Ragoli 2nd section (Spinale-Montagnoli) in observance of established limitations and all other applicable laws. (see map)

6. Within the confines of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park within the municipalities concerned, the collection of mushrooms is only allowed for residents of the province of Trento. Non-residents of the province of Trento may collect mushrooms within the park so long as they stay within the province for at least five consecutive days, subject to submitting the declaration of intent and payment of the fee.

7. A 50% reduction in the fee shall be applied to: people staying within the province of Trento for at least three consecutive days for vacation; people who have been resident in the province of Trento for at least five years or have a parent who is resident in the province; and people who own or otherwise possess rights over residential property in one of the participating municipalities within the Val Rendena valley.

Fees by collection period

€10.00 for 1 day – reduced rate: €5.00

€20.00 for 2 days – reduced rate: €10.00

€30.00 for one week – reduced rate: €15.00

Conservatives say Ontario Liberal government used ‘fake’ deficit figure

TORONTO – Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives released cabinet documents Monday that they said show the Liberals misled the public for years with “fake” figures on the size of the province’s deficit, a statement Finance Minister Charles Sousa dismissed as false.

The documents, prepared by Finance Ministry officials and given to a legislative committee, show the Liberals knew the $24.7-billion deficit figure they announced in 2009-10 “was never a real expectation” and was a deliberate move to provide a “worst case” outcome, said PC Leader Tim Hudak.

The Liberals then used a ruler to draw a straight line from that $24.7-billion figure down to zero in 2017-18, literally making up deficit reduction targets for the interim years with no real plan to achieve them, said Hudak.

“I worry when you’re using these types of fiscal sleights of hand, these card tricks that undermine confidence in our province,” he said. “And that means investment goes elsewhere, and so go the jobs.”

Sousa wasn’t in question period Monday, so it was left to deputy premier Deb Matthews to respond to the Conservatives’ charges in the legislature.

“The Conservative party thinks that they can cut their way to prosperity (but) on this side, we believe in investing in people,” said Matthews. “We believe in investing in infrastructure.”

Hudak said it was “telling” that Matthews completely ignored the question on the “fake” deficit figures and instead lashed out at the previous PC government.

“Page nine in this document indicates that you had no plan to balance the budget,” he said. “The numbers are no more than a fiction. The finance officials indicated it was going to take, potentially, another six years to balance the budget.”

Matthews said the Liberals “were the first government since 1996 to actually reduce spending,” and suggested they would worry more about making strategic investments in the upcoming budget rather than meeting short-term deficit reduction targets.

“There is a stark difference between their plan and our plan,” she said. “For them, the holy grail is to balance the books as quickly as possible, no matter the cost to the people of this province.”

Speaking later with reporters, Sousa said budget “projections and assumptions are just that,” and insisted “the numbers that are brought forward by the government are audited by the auditor general.”

The finance minister admitted he won’t be able to meet deficit reduction targets originally set out for the next couple of years, but insisted that the minority Liberal government will be able to eliminate the red ink on schedule in three years.

“We are committed to balancing the books by 2017-18 … but we’re not going to do it at the expense of those programs that will ultimately provide economic growth,” he said. “So if in the short term some of the targets aren’t met, that is what we always said we would do.”

Sousa also indicated the deficit for 2014-15 will be higher than last year’s $11.3 billion when he presents the provincial budget on Thursday.

In a pre-budget speech to the Canadian Club in Toronto Monday, Wynne said the Liberals’ plan would include a policy of investment and growth, knowing the minority government could be defeated on the budget vote, triggering an election.

“If there is an election this spring, the campaign will come down to a choice between our balanced approach to building on Ontario’s success, and the risky and unproven tactics of the parties on the right and the left,” she said.

Schwinn to be Exclusive Sponsor for Hardwood Hills BMX track
courtest Chris Burke

Veltec Canada is pleased to announce that Schwinn will be the exclusive bike sponsor of the new BMX facility being built at Hardwood Hills, just north of Barrie Ontario. Sponsorship includes a potential fleet of rental BMX bikes to offer those who may not own one a chance to try out the fastest growing part of the North American bicycle market. As well, Veltec/Schwinn will work to promote both the Hardwood Hills track and BMX to the local and Canadian bicycle markets.

Currently under construction, the "super fast" BMX track at Hardwood Hills will run on a downward sloping terrace, making the course easier to ride for the inexperienced BMX racer. For the experienced BMX rider, the course will be high-speed and demanding - making it a popular destination for novice and veteran riders alike.

Veltec is currently adding some extra punch to their Schwinn BMX program - exemplified by the recent sponsorship of the Sportsnet/OLN Canadian coverage of the Gravity Games. Already partnered with Hardwood Hills for their mountain bike rental program, Veltec hopes the family appeal BMX holds will catch the attention of an even wider range of riders and bring them to the Hardwood Hills riding facility.

The track is expected to be complete in the spring of 2000. Visit the Hardwood Hills web site for updates: www.hardwoodhills.on.ca

Chrysler investing $20 million to modernize Ohio plant

Will receive investment to boost capacity of torque converter for new nine-speed automatic transmission

AUBURN HILLS, Mich.—Chrysler says its investing $19.6-million in an Ohio machining plant to build more torque converters for a new nine-speed automatic transmission debuting in the reborn Jeep Cherokee.

According to the automaker, its Toledo Machining Plant in Perrysburg, Ohio, will receive the investment to boost capacity of the torque converter it is machining for the nine-speed automatic transmission that will debut in the 2014 Jeep Cherokee later this year.

The transmission is being assembled at one of Chrysler’s Kokomo, Ind., plants.

“The new nine-speed transmission is a critical part of our strategy to meet fuel economy requirements over the next several years and Toledo Machining will play an integral role in bringing this transmission to market,” Chrysler senior vice-president of manufacturing Scott Garberding said in a statement.

The investment will fund the installation of new equipment and tooling for additional machining and assembly capacity.

Installation is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2014 and will be completed by the end of 2014.

In August 2011, a $72-million investment in Toledo Machining was announced to modernize the plant to produce the eight- and nine-speed torque converters on two new production lines and a new steering column for the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee.

Those installations will be complete in the third quarter of this year.

In February, the company announced it was investing $374-million in several of its Kokomo, Ind., facilities, including establishing a new manufacturing site in Tipton, Ind., to increase production capacity of the nine-speed transmission.

Chrysler’s total investment in its U.S. operations since June 2009 has increased to over $5.2-billion.

The Year In Review: All-In-All, It Wasn’t Bad
By Charles Rogers

As the Canarsie Courier started its 91st year, we found that 2011 wasn’t too bad; not the greatest, but not too bad. A victory for the school community was a feather in our respective caps, there was too much violence, and we had a bunch of political problems, what with one nearby U.S. Congressman quitting in utter disgrace and a state senator in lotsa trouble (unproven, so far), but, as we’ve done in the past, we came through without too many frowns on our faces and, for the most part, with our heads held high.

Unfortunately, the year started out with our headlines telling of the death of eightyear old Billy Grice who passed away as a result of faulty wiring in his home on East 57th Street in Mill Basin. Family members and other tenants in the two family home were taken to the hospital and survived, but, according to firefighters, it was too late for the P.S. 236 student.

The Community Education Council (CEC) for School District 18 held its first meeting of the year and officials told a large crowd in attendance that they expected more parents to take an active part in their children’s education and, while they were at it, asked that they continue to attend the CEC’s meetings.

It didn’t take long for the gunplay in the community to start, as one man was shot on East 84th Street just after midnight on January 1st and then, two days later, a man was found on East 92nd Street with bullet wounds to the chest. Neither man died and police are continuing to investigate both cases.

Members of the CEC began negotiations with the City Department of Education (DOE) in mid-January regarding the status of P.S. 114, the 100-year-old school on Remsen Avenue. Seemed that the DOE wanted to close it at first, then they wanted to discuss making way for a charter school on the premises. In either case, CEC members organized parents and held a strategy confab preparatory to meeting with the DOE. Then, a week later, a deputy schools chancellor met with parents, teachers and CEC people and told them that, because of their efforts, the proposals for change would be “taken under consideration.” Meanwhile, Mayor Michael Bloomberg blasted teacher seniority as he attended a service at the nearby Christian Cultural Center with his new chancellor — Cathie Black — by his side. She lasted in her job for precisely 92 days and couldn’t stand the heat, later to be replaced by Dennis Walcott.

A couple of weeks after those community meetings, City Councilman Charles Barron figuratively set up his microphones in front of the Remsen Avenue school alongside City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and they both announced that P.S. 114 would indeed be taken off the DOE’s schools-tobe closed list! “This is a major victory for this close-knit school community,” de Blasio said.

At a press conference in Manhattan in mid-March, the U.S. attorney for the southern district announced a criminal complaint against State Senator Carl Kruger and seven other defendants in what he called “a broadbased bribery racket.” Kruger, along with Assemblyman William Boyland and six others, surrendered at federal court amid a bevy of clinging, clamoring media. At the time, the 16-year legislator declared he was not guilty of bribery and corruption charges. Boyland, was later acquitted of the charges, and Kruger pleaded guilty in December.

Teachers and other members of a “This Is It” committee at Canarsie High School announced they would hold a “celebration,” of sorts, as word came of the demise of the school as we know it. It was to be closed at the end of the school year and divided thereafter into three separate institutions. The celebration would highlight the positive legacy the school has proudly brought — justly so — through the years. Spring brought all sorts of dignitaries, including Mayor Bloomberg, Senator Marty Golden, Councilman Lew Fidler and former N.Y. Yankees manager Joe Torre to Marine Park to officially spark the beginning of the Little League Baseball season. Just as the program was ending, along came Congressman Anthony Weiner to lend his approval too.

We didn’t blow out any candles, nor did we have a cake, but quietly the Canarsie Courier celebrated its 90th birthday on April 21st, with the hope that the community continues to thrive and will be around for another 90 years and gratitude to all our loyal readers and advertisers.

Officials of the South Canarsie Civic Association met during May to announce their displeasure with Community Board 18, noting that the board has been “ignoring” the Canarsie community and many of its problems. The civic group officials accused the board’s members of not paying attention to happenings “because most of the members live someplace else,” such as Mill Basin or Bergen Beach or Marine Park. One member suggested CB18 should be disbanded.

When word came this month that Osama bin Laden had been killed by Navy Seals and a rash of patriotism hit the community, displayed beautifully by Canarsie’s Bravest firefighters from Engine 257, Ladder 170 and Battalion 58 as they mourned the 343 fellow firefighters who perished in the World Trade Center attack engineered by bin Laden in 2001. In a touching gesture, they attached Flags to their engines and rigs.

Members of the community and the 69th Precinct Community Council were saddened to see Deputy Inspector Milt Marmara depart the area as commanding officer of the 69th Precinct but welcomed Captain George Fitzgibbon as he took over the position. He promised to continue the fine policies of Marmara and said he would be using more foot patrols in covering the precinct boundaries. A few months later, Fitzgibbon was also promoted to the rank of Deputy Inspector.

Along about the middle of the year, all the sensational magazines, newspapers and, yes, even the most conservative periodicals, were blaring the peccadilloes of Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose Congressional district covered parts of Queens and, yeah, Brooklyn, as he twittered pictures of his crotch and, ahem, other regions on the Internet to some ladies he’d never even met personally. First he denied broadcasting the photos on the Internet. Then he couldn’t deny it. Everyone — from Seattle, Washington to, uh, Canarsie, Brooklyn — laughed themselves silly and then, disgusted, cheered when Weiner resigned from the U.S. House of Representatives because of his misdemeanors and subsequent shame. His Congressional seat was vacated temporarily until a new election would take place.

The ownership of Canarsie Cemetery was finally determined officially as the City Council voted to approve its sale to the owners of Cypress Hills Cemetery in Queens. One of the key conditions, of course, was that it remain “a non-sectarian burial ground for persons of all races, faiths and ethnic origins” and that the character of the site remain as it has for the past 100 years. Work has already been started on refurbishing and beautifying the area.

The 69th Precinct Young Explorers took shovels and brooms to the area outside the precinct station house on Rockaway Parkway at Foster Avenue to spruce it up preparatory to a local artist doing special work on the white wall surrounding the building. Artist Kenny Altidor has already started work on two murals depicting likenesses of slain officers who had been assigned to the precinct, P.O. Cecil Sledge and P.O. James Cannon. Altidor is doing the job in his spare time and it’s still a work in progress.

As with all of Brooklyn, if not the entire city, violence took its toll in Canarsie, and the middle of summer was no exception. For example, our issue of July 21st featured a number of stories where gunplay was the culprit. It started out with the beating death of an East 102nd Street 18-year-old girl by her stepfather, who allegedly struck her repeatedly with a hammer. He was arrested and charged with her murder. During the same week we told of a Breukelen Houses resident who was shot in the foot while witnessing an armed confrontation between two gangs. At the same time, a shooting took place on East 77th Street near the Wendy’s Restaurant on Flatlands Avenue. Then another man was shot on East 92nd Street during an attempted robbery a couple of days later. While we were telling these stories, residents in East Flatbush were mourning the death of 15 year old Dequan Mercurius who died after being shot near the corner of East 39th Street and Avenue K, adjacent to P.S. 119.

Officials of Walmart Stores met with some business leaders and elected officials in late summer to discuss a possible move to an area near the Gateway Center east of Starrett City, sparking a number of protests from local residents and mom and pop store owners. Councilman Barron joined forces with protesters and vowed he would do his best to defeat any moves by Walmart to come to the East New York territory. The argument is continuing.

The Roy H. Mann School in Mill Basin was the scene in mid-August where a teen was killed after falling from the roof of the building, which was under repair. Apparently, Nick Gryak, 15, got caught in some of the scaffolding and netting surrounding the building. Grieving friends said Gryak and other teenagers had been known to climb to the roof during the summer to “hang out.”

Canarsiens and other residents in the Northeast U.S. got a short shock on August 23rd when, well, the ground shook under them. Yes, the ground shook as a result of a small earthquake that centered in a town in Virginia, but sent ground waves traveling all the way up to our territory. Nobody was injured and a few bricks were dislodged from a building in Red Hook, but at least we can now tell our grandchildren we were there during “The Big One” (all right, “The Little One”) in 2011!

Canarsie and the surrounding areas didn’t fare too badly as a result of Hurricane Irene, which hit the Northeast pretty hard. We can be thankful there were few injuries, but trees were uprooted and wires entangled to a fair degree, but the brunt of the storm hit the outer sections hard, where flooding was a huge culprit.

The spectacular West Indian American Day Parade that took place over the Labor Day weekend featured fantastic pageantry, as marchers trekked along Eastern Parkway and through Crown Heights and Flatbush to the delight of watchers and partygoers alike. Unfortunately, there was some gunplay again, and police had to take a hand in rounding up some of the people allegedly responsible. Many said the police were a little too rough and that’s still under discussion with authorities.

Remember when Congressman Anthony Weiner, a Democrat, stepped down from office in shame earlier this year? Well, seems that a Republican was voted into his spot — at least until official elections are held next year. Oh, it’s official that Bob Turner is now the representative from the district, as he defeated Democrat David Wepner. Of course, the entire election could be moot because the 9th C.D. — which includes Sheepshead Bay, as well as parts of Queens — could be wiped out as a result of census-related redistricting next year.

More than 250 angry residents gathered at the Hebrew Educational Society building in September to voice their disdain for the city’s Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) maintaining of sewers and catch basins that had been overflowing and flooding area homes during a spate of storms during the summer. As a result of community outrage, believe it or not, the DEP blinked! They took the blame, noting that pumping station malfunctions were responsible for some of the backups and said they were trying to fix any problems so flooding would not occur again.

Unfortunately, the year’s final months contained a couple of murders, giving more credence to the fact that violence just doesn’t go away, no matter how hard we try. Local detectives joined with Brooklyn Homicide Unit officials to pursue clues and investigate circumstances involving the shooting death of 17-year-old Shaquille Jones, a South Shore High School basketball star who was gunned down on a Friday afternoon in the community driveway between East 78th and East 79th streets near Flatlands Avenue. Then, two days later, a 25- year-old man was gunned down near the corner of East 83rd Street and Flatlands Avenue. Cops have a suspect in the teen’s fatal shooting.

On December 20th, Senator Kruger appeared in federal court to plead guilty to corruption charges leveled last March. He automatically lost his job as a legislator and will face sentencing early in 2012.

As 2011 comes to an end, we can look back and say we stood strong this year as a community — and that’s important, whether fighting a monstrous Department of Education or letting the Department of Environmental Protection know who’s really boss when it comes to democratic principles. We can therefore be glad to look back and say the year wasn’t too bad after all and, as the birthday cards say: we might be a year older, but we’re a year better too!

Happy New Year!
