City's Housing Program Celebrates Financing 100,000 Units – and Counting
Brooklyn, May 3, 2010 – As part of the citywide Affordable Housing Day, a celebration of notable affordable projects in each borough and reaching the important milestone of funding the creation or preservation of 100,000 affordable homes, CPC Resources (CPCR), Catholic Charities Progress of Peoples Development Corporation (CCPOP), East Brooklyn Congregations (EBC) and community residents were joined by NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Commissioner Rafael E. Cestero and NYC Housing Development Corporation (HDC) President Marc Jahr and other housing officials to celebrate the preservation and renovation of Riverdale Osborn Towers as affordable housing for families. Also attending were Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, and City Councilmember Charles Barron. Located in Brownsville, Brooklyn, this complex of four, nine-story buildings with 523 affordable apartments for low-income families underwent a $39 million rehabilitation designed to preserve this affordable housing for the foreseeable future.
"Over the past decades, Brownsville has experienced dramatic change; much of it devastating," said Commissioner Cestero. "We are here today to celebrate a bright future. The resurgence of Brownsville as a community that feels again like a neighborhood is not accidental. It is because of the determination of the residents who stuck it out through financial crises, crime, a plague of drugs and civil unrest that we are here today. We would not have reached this plateau of funding the creation or preservation of 100,000 affordable homes without you. Looking at these four buildings and knowing that nearly 530 homes have been saved through your tenacity and our investments of time and money—and then being able to see, right up and down the block buildings that represent a true neighborhood revival—reminds me why I am in this business."
As part of the day-long celebration marking the financing of the 100,000th unit of affordable housing under Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's New Housing Marketplace Plan (NHMP), housing officials toured New York City, recognizing several affordable developments that underscore the efforts being made by the City of New York and its neighborhood partners expand the City's supply of affordable housing. Riverdale Osborne was to represent the borough of Brooklyn as an example of how public-private partners can rally together for the successful preservation of affordable housing. In Brooklyn alone, 24,129 units have been financed since 2004 under the Mayor's New Housing Marketplace Plan.
The NHMP, launched in 2003, was first envisioned as a five-year plan to finance the construction or preservation of 65,000 affordable homes for New Yorkers with a range of incomes and diverse needs. In early 2006 the plan—already viewed as the most ambitious and aggressive in the nation— was expanded to its current form: to enable the creation or preservation 165,000 affordable units by 2014. Since October, 2008 when the global recession began, HPD and HDC have continued to leverage the public and private funding necessary to begin work on nearly 17,000 additional units, outstripping any other city or state effort in the nation and reaching the 100,000 unit benchmark.
Assemblyman Vito J. Lopez, Chair of the New York State Assembly Housing Committee, said, "Mayor Bloomberg and HPD Commissioner Rafael Cestero can be proud of the city's commitment to building affordable housing. One of the Mayor's more significant legacies will be the time and financial support he has dedicated to this goal, which is clearly demonstrated as we celebrate the 100,000th unit today. I salute his efforts to provide quality, affordable housing for all of the residents of New York City."
"The Riverdale Osborn Towers is a prime example of how public-private partnerships can help the city in its effort to preserve affordable housing for our residents," stated Council Member Erik Martin Dilan, Chair of the Housing and Buildings Committee. "I commend the Mayor, HPD and HDC for their preservation efforts and for reaching the financing of the 100,000th affordable housing unit. If the city is to meet the ambitious goals set forth in the New Housing Marketplace Plan, it must continue to explore these types of partnerships."
Michael Lappin, president and CEO of CPC Resources and The Community Preservation Corporation, said, "The success of Riverdale Osborne Towers is in a large part due to the special partnership CPCR has with the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens and the Archdiocese of New York. Together, our organizations are embarking on a multi-year program to redevelop more than 50 properties into thousands of units of affordable housing. We are honored to have been chosen by the City of New York as an example of quality responsible development and hope this project will serve as a model for how we can work together to provide quality, affordable housing to New York's low-income families."
"I congratulate the tenants of Riverdale Osborne, CPC Resources, John Lankenau and Demetrious Moragianis for making this celebration possible. In working together to preserve these homes, you have acted to strengthen this neighborhood," said HDC President Marc Jahr. "These acts have a ripple effect. Starting with the genesis of Nehemiah and continuing with the construction of 550 Watkins – with financing by HDC – these streets have come back to life. Throughout Brownsville and East New York, we've worked with HPD and collaborated with both for-profit and nonprofit developers, like East Brooklyn Churches and CPC to rebuild the community. And, when you add it all up, on streets like these, on Malta and New Lots and Sheffield and Pennsylvania, in East New York, in Brownsville, since 2004 under the Mayor's plan, HDC has financed over 880 affordable housing units with over $81 million in bond financing as well as over $26 million in inexpensive subsidy from our corporate reserves. In total, over a $100 million in financing. And when we celebrate financing 100,000 units, this is what we're talking about and this is what is worth celebrating—stronger communities made of safe and quality housing for new Yorkers like you."
For more than a decade, Riverdale Osborne Towers, located at 440 Watkins Street, was plagued with poor management, causing the buildings to eventually fall into disrepair. The tenants endured awful living conditions, which included rodents, gaping ceiling holes that caused apartment flooding when it rained, dangerous gas leaks, non-flushing toilets, waves of crime, rotting walls and trash pile ups. One of the worst issues was non-working elevators, which especially impacted individuals in wheelchairs or mothers with heavy strollers, forcing them to take a working elevator in another building and walk to their own building across the roof and down several flights of stairs, which was unsafe and unguarded against potential crime. Over the years, Riverdale Osborne Towers racked up hundreds of violations from The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
Recognizing that something had to be done, Catholic Charities interceded in 2005. After reviewing the overall situation and developing a long-term strategy to preserve affordability, they selected CPCR to re-develop the site and oversee the renovations. East Brooklyn Congregations (EBC), which has been responsible for the transformation of many vacant blocks in the East Brooklyn community through its Nehemiah Plan, played an integral part in making sure changes were made at Riverdale Osborne. EBC, who had offices on the property, recognized the poor conditions the families were living in and helped tenants to organize, fight for their rights and work with Catholic Charities and CPCR to make sure new management fixed the problems plaguing the building.
Jacqueline Melendez, an EBC tenant leader and resident of a ninth floor apartment said, "100,000 is a wonderful number. But that's what it is -- a number. Think of 100,000 people like me -- Jackie Melendez -- who used to be a tenant of what was once a slum building and now lives in an improved and renovated development thanks to CPC, EBC, and the City of New York. Think of my daughter and husband too. So that 100,000 really means that 300,000 or 400,000 New Yorkers have benefited from the housing strategy of the City. This is not something that should slow down or stall. This is all about momentum, forward motion. Let's keep building and improving our wonderful boroughs and city."
"We want to give the mayor and HPD credit for the most aggressive and most persistent strategy on housing in the country and we and CPC have always been part of it," remarked Revered David K. Brawley, East Brooklyn Congregations. "This is an example of forward motion that was hardly imaginable in the bad old days of near-bankruptcy, self dealing politicians, and decline that haunted the city in the 1970's and into the 1980's. Today, not only are good things happening but great things are happening in this City as shown by where we are standing today. Today, we see 543 rental units bought and renovated by CPC and these units could not have been preserved without the great EBC leaders who organized so long and hard for change. And if we took a short walk, you would see the rest of a new Brooklyn that has materialized because East Brooklyn Congregations along with the Community Preservation Corporation have worked closely with HPD and HDC to make it happen - 3000 homes built already, 1500 in production, along with 200 apartments and a foreclosure rate of nearly zero. This great success is an example of what happens when various levels of government are working together with groups like ours to make them happen."
Thanks to the involvement of Senator Charles Schumer, a vital partner in this project, Riverdale Osborne Towers secured the approval of over $36 million in city tax credits and loans, for a total development cost of $39 million that were very close to expiring in late 2007. Successfully, Senator Schumer persuaded Housing and Urban Development officials to approve city allocations just days before a December 31st deadline.
Financing for the renovations came from a $19.4 million CPC construction loan and a $4.99 million PLP loan from HPD. Financing will also include $12.1 million in equity raised through the sale of 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocated by HPD and $2.5 million in additional equity provided by Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. A permanent loan will be provided by the NYCERS Pension Fund with SONYMA insurance.
"HUD is delighted to have been a partner in the rebirth of Riverdale Osborne," said JoAnna Aniello, Deputy Regional Director for NY/NJ. "HUD has no higher mission than providing decent, safe and affordable housing to our citizens, and this wonderful partnership among, HUD, HPD, Progress of Peoples, Catholic Charities, CPC and Enterprise demonstrate what public-private partnerships can achieve in improving peoples' lives."
"Mayor Bloomberg has done an inspiring job of bringing public and private partners together to ensure that the New Housing Marketplace Plan stays on track. With the completion of the 100,000th New Housing Marketplace Plan unit, New York City is 100,000 steps closer to making housing affordable for all New Yorkers," said Abby Jo Sigal, Vice President and New York Director, Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. "We applaud Mayor Bloomberg, HPD, HDC, and the City of New York on achieving this milestone. We also congratulate all of the affordable housing partners, including our partner in the Riverdale Osborne Towers, CPC Resources and Catholic Charities Progress of Peoples Development Corporation, for their incredible efforts to provide thousands of New Yorkers an affordable place to call home."
Monsignor Alfred LoPinto, Vicar for Human Services, Diocese of Brooklyn, said "Catholic Charities is delighted with the wonderful transformation at Riverdale Osborne. Through this project, we have brought positive changes to the lives of Riverdale Osborne tenants and rebuilt a vital part of the Brownsville community. We are pleased to be a part of this transformative event.
CPCR proposed a financial structure to preserve the property as affordable housing and tapped proven, "hands on" partners and property managers Demetrios Moragianis and John Lankenau to help transform the property into quality housing for the more than 1,500 residents who live there.
Renovations included the installation of all new windows in all apartments, two new roofs, three new boilers, replacement of all 8 elevators, new kitchens in every unit, ceramic tile in the hallways, two new state-of-the-art gas-fired furnaces for heat & hot water, replacement of exterior parapet and deteriorating brick work and a new intercom system. Security cameras were installed and security guards were hired to patrol the grounds. New gates and new apartment entry doors were installed. A new lobby entrance and management office were created to further enhance security.
In a statement, Mr. Moragianis and Mr. Lankenau said, "Keeping it simple: The storm has been calmed. Our vision for a better tomorrow for the residents at Riverdale/Osborne Towers that for years have endured both sub-standard living conditions and safety risks was our driving force to help bring about the change we have today. Our biggest joy is seeing so many people walking around with smiles on their faces – it says it all."
Francis J. Murray, president and CEO of NYSERDA said: "NYSERDA is proud to participate in a public-private partnership working to create New York City housing that is not only affordable but energy efficient. The leadership at Riverdale should be commended for their initiative to incorporate energy measures into the construction plan NYSERDA has been pleased to work with building owners and developers throughout New York City that have used our Multifamily Performance Program to not only help reduce their costs, but to save energy and create a healthy environment for residents."
Other major housing developments in Brownsville and East New York include:
The Nehemiah homes built in the 1980's and the new Nehemiah homes.
Under the Brooklyn Nehemiah Program, HPD has worked with East Brooklyn Churches (EBC), a consortium of over thirty congregations, over the past 15 years to construct nearly 3,000 single-family homes in the East New York and Brownsville sections of Brooklyn. HPD provides subsidies to keep the homes affordable. The Nehemiah at Gateway Project will be constructed on undeveloped vacant land in a new neighborhood, Gateway Estates, near Spring Creek in the East New York section of Brooklyn. The developer is Nehemiah Housing Development Company, a housing affiliate for EBC.
The Plaza Residences (formerly Noble Drew Ali Houses).
For years Noble Drew Ali Plaza had been known citywide as a crime-ridden housing complex suffering from neglect and plagued with drug activity and squatters. HPD's Narcotics Control Unit has worked with the NYPD and the Office of Special Narcotics Prosecutor to improve the quality of life at Noble Drew Ali by decreasing on-site criminal activity through ongoing strategic investigations. These efforts culminated in 35 arrests. The acquisition and rehabilitation of the Noble Drew Ali Plaza by ONMI New York LLC, with financing provided by HDP and HDC, has resulted in the preservation and improvement of 385 affordable housing units for low-income New Yorkers.
550 Watkins Street
This is a 104-unit rental project under construction on a City-owned site just down the block from Riverdale Osborne. The project is being developed through a partnership controlled by CPC Resources, Inc (CPCR) and EBC. Construction is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2010.
To celebrate NYC Affordable Housing Day and the 100,000 unit benchmark, HPD Commissioner Cestero and HDC President Jahr participated in an event in each of the five boroughs designed to highlight the diverse programs in the NHMP and the different types of housing developed or preserved. They started the day at True Colors, a Supportive Housing project currently under construction at 269 W 154th St in Manhattan that is the first facility of its kind designed to house gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youths; and travelled from there to Via Verde. Subsequent events included a ribbon cutting at Big Six at 59-55 47th Ave, in Woodside Queens, a nearly 900-unit Mitchell-Lama co-operative that opted to commit to another 30 years of affordability in return for low-cost mortgage refinancing through the HDC Mitchell-Lama Preservation Program; and a community celebration honoring developers, housing advocates and tenants in East New York and Brownsville, Brooklyn at Riverdale-Osborne (440 Watkins Street), a former HUD multifamily complex purchased and renovated by CPC Resources and John Lankenau and Demetrious Moragianis with funding from HPD, CPC, the NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR), and NYSERDA.. The final stop of the day was Markham Gardens, a newly constructed mixed income townhouse community with both rental and homeowner units built at 70 North Burgher Avenue on a site formerly owned by the New York City Housing Authority. # # #
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's New Housing Marketplace Plan
New York City's affordable housing program to build or preserve 165,000 units of housing — enough to house half a million New Yorkers — is the most ambitious and productive in the nation—creating housing as well as jobs for New Yorkers. In April, 2010 the City reached the critical benchmark of 100,000 units financed—representing an investment of $4.5 billion to date by the City, not including roughly $5 billion in bonds issued by HDC.
Led by HPD Commissioner Rafael E. Cestero, the Plan has been recast to maintain production momentum while confronting head on the economic challenges facing the City, the State, the housing industry, the financial sector and individual New Yorkers and their families. In order to fulfill the NHMP goal of 165,000 units, HPD and the NYC Housing Development Corporation (HDC) are responding to market realities and focusing on three primary goals: strengthening neighborhoods, expanding the supply of affordable and sustainable housing and stabilizing families by keeping them in their homes. To read more about the NHMP, please visit http://www.nyc.gov/html/hpd/html/about/plan.shtml
NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD)
HPD's mission is to promote quality housing and viable neighborhoods for New Yorkers. It is the nation's largest municipal housing preservation and development agency. Responsible for implementing Mayor Bloomberg's New Housing Marketplace Plan to build and preserve 165,000 units of affordable housing, HPD also actively promotes the preservation of affordable housing through education, outreach, loan programs and enforcement of housing quality standards.

CPC Resources, Inc. (CPCR) is the for-profit development subsidiary of The Community Preservation Corporation (CPC), a not-for-profit mortgage lender that has financed more than $7 billion of affordable housing since its founding in 1974. CPCR has developed or rehabilitated more than 136,000 units throughout New York State, including Parkchester Apartments in the Bronx, representing an investment of over $600 million in affordable housing.
Catholic Charities Progress of Peoples Development Corporation
Since 1975, the Catholic Charities Progress of Peoples Development Corporation (CCPOP), the housing affiliate of Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens, has served as a catalyst for growth in neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn and Queens, seeking to transform not only vacant land and buildings, but the lives of individuals and families. In the past thirty-three years, CCPOP has completed nearly 3,000 units of housing including 2,090 units for low-income senior citizens, 480 units of family housing and 377 units of supportive housing for formerly homeless individuals. More important than these numbers, POP builds housing with a vital link to social services, instilling a sense of home, community and family to its residents.
East Brooklyn Congregations
East Brooklyn Congregations (EBC) is a broad-based, multi-racial, non-partisan, community organization made up of 32 members institutions (churches, schools and neighborhood associations), located primarily in the East New York, Brownsville, Bushwick, and Bedford Stuyvesant communities. EBC's purpose is to help ordinary people from our member institutions to gain the power to win improvements on specific issues of importance to them and to improve the quality of life in Brooklyn. EBC's victories include the construction of over 3,000 affordable homes, the founding of two small public high schools, and pushing the City to start many more, significant improvements in public safety, amongst many others.

Leave of Absence (LOA)
Provided you are in good academic standing, SF State allows continuing students to be absent for one semester and still be eligible to return to the University the following semester. Students are not eligible for a LOA during their initial semester of attendance at SF State. If you are considering taking a LOA, please check with the University Registrar's Office first, to ensure you are eligible for continued study at SF State the following semester. Also, if you are currently on academic probation, it is highly suggested that you meet with an academic advisor in your major department to determine how missing one semester will affect your academic standing. Students who choose to take time off from their academic program must submit a Leave of Absence Form to OIP. Since continued F-1 status requires full-time enrollment during the fall and spring semesters, students are not eligible to remain in the US while taking a LOA.
Requesting a Leave of Absence with OIP
Complete and sign the Leave of Absence Form. Submit this form to an OIP advisor during the designated drop-in hours. The advisor will explain what you need to do in order to return to the US in F-1 status (the following semester). You will be issued an initial attendance I-20 for the following term. The advisor will explain the restrictions on returning to the US using an initial attendance I-20. Your SEVIS record will be terminated and you will be required to leave the U.S. within 15 days. In most instances, taking a LOA will require a student to renew his/her visa prior to returning to the US. Students that are outside of the US for 5 or more months are required to renew their visa prior to returning to the US. You may not return to the US any sooner than 30 days before the start date of the following semester (this date will be listed on the newly-issued I-20).
Returning to SF State
Continuing students who file a LOA for one semester are still considered continuing students and do not need to re-apply for admission. Continuing students who miss two consecutive semesters would need to re-apply for admissions to the University.
Study Abroad and Research/Thesis Abroad
Students who are leaving the U.S. to complete a certified CSU/SF State Bilateral Program or to complete their research/thesis abroad (graduate students only) are still considered continuing students. Students in either of these categories are still required to submit the Leave of Absence Form prior to leaving the U.S.

VIDEO: Concord falls in 'Classic' finale Matt Alden scored a game-high 18 points as William Tennent of Pennsylvania wrapped up the Concord Classic with a 51-49 victory over Concord Monday night. Alden hit a pair of three pointers in the opening quarter to push the Panthers (6-11) off to an 11-6 lead. Concord went on an 11-1 run late in the opening half to take their largest lead of 26-21 before Tennent ended knotted the game at 26 at the break. The Raiders led 35-34 after three quarters, and it was 46-46 late, but the visitors did just enough for the win.

Today, one in every four Americans belongs to a racial or ethnic minority group. Yet despite tremendous advances in health science in recent decades, minorities still fall victim to heart disease, cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS in numbers far greater than whites.
Clearly, it's going to take more than medicine alone to change this fact. It will take health services researchers who can understand the political, social, economic and environmental realities that have created such deep disparities in health and healthcare between minorities and whites - researchers whose minority perspectives can shape a wider discussion.
To prepare top candidates to pursue careers in health services research, the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI), the Health Care Management Department of the Wharton School, and the VA Center of Health Equity Research and Promotion (CHERP) are co-sponsoring a summer program for rising undergraduate sophomores, juniors and seniors from underrepresented minority groups, or anyone interested in exploring the field of health services research. The SUMR program provides students with an opportunity to receive a stipend to conduct health services research on a topic of their choice, under the guidance of Penn faculty.

Last few days for Headless Horseman farming
Of course, the warriors and paladins aren't alone in their enthusiasm. Since there are a variety of goodies that can be acquired, it wasn't difficult to find groups to challenge the Horseman the first few days of the event. As players have collected the items they were hoping to get or simply got bored of the encounter, it's become more difficult to find a group to take down the cackling loot piñata.
With the real life holiday of Halloween marking the end of its Azerothian counterpart on Wednesday, time is running out to summon the Horseman. Hopefully more people will be online and willing to get a couple more shots at the helm/pet/ring they've been salivating over.
Personally, it took me over thirty-five attempts to get the Helm for my warrior, and I have guild mates that are still trying to get the Sinister Squashling. While the drop rates are certainly random, in my experience, these two items are both the most sought after and the least common. While I'd love to get the pet for one of my characters, the grind for the helm was enough for this year.
Have you achieved your Hallow's End goals? What are you still hoping to get accomplished?

Jamie Cowperthwaite launches 'Talent Cloud', new Hull-based recruitment agency
Posted: February 07, 2014
|By Jim Coldwell
A HULL recruitment specialist has decided to go it alone in a bid to get more people working in the city.
Jamie Cowperthwaite has launched recruitment agency Talent Cloud after spending almost 20 years working in the industry.
Based in Willerby, the company provides recruitment expertise in a variety of sectors, including commercial office support, supply chain, logistics, manufacturing, operations, finance, quality and technical medical, and education.
Mr Cowperthwaite said: "I have loved everything to do with recruitment since my early days in the business.
"I've enjoyed finding the right jobs for people so they can truly shine.
"In my most recent role with Reckitt Benckiser, I covered all of their internal recruitment needs, which provided an insight into what it's like being on the other side as a customer to recruitment agencies.
"After two years my contract was coming to an end, which presented the option of going back to work for another agency or taking the plunge and setting up on my own.
"There's no point in doing that unless I have something different to offer that will make people sit up and listen.
"So that's what I've done, I've come up with a fresh approach to recruitment that will hopefully engage with customers."
During his time working in the recruitment industry, he has been responsible for matching thousands of people to a variety of jobs in many sectors throughout the UK and beyond.
Now, he feels the time has come to create a business that can make the most of that experience.
Mr Cowperthwaite said the aim for Talent Cloud, which was launched on Monday, is to give customers a more rounded recruitment service, providing candidates with the opportunity to refresh their skills and secure the next step in their career.
He said: "Our aim is to be a cost-effective service that offers interview assistance, CV sifts, assessment centres, and a range of other services to ensure any recruitment campaign is holistic, smooth and hassle-free.
"We've also put together some career coaching packages for candidates who might be nervous about taking the plunge to find something new, or those who haven't interviewed for years and are a little rusty.
"This level of support can be the difference between getting to final interview and landing the job.
"All these services will be backed up with an approach that is friendly but professional.
"Recruiting can be stressful but it is still an exciting time for both candidate and client, this is sometimes forgotten under the pressure.
"We want to be the people who take the pressure away."

Who can participate?
Camp Suzuki participants will come from diverse communities in BC's lower mainland. Each team will be composed of 2-4 members from the same community (a volunteer group, local ENGO, workplace, community organization, faith group, etc).
Teams should be committed to environmental sustainability and community engagement, and have an interest in protecting wetland ecosystems.
Participants must be 18 years of age.
How long does the Camp Suzuki program last?
The program begins with the leadership training intensive during the weekend of May 4-6, 2012. During the following four months, teams will work in their communities with the Foundation's support to plan and implement their projects.
The Foundation will host an evening workshop at our Vancouver office in June to provide ongoing support and education.
The duration of each community project will vary but should be completed by August 31, 2012. The Foundation will host a Camp Suzuki celebration and debrief in September 2012 to close the program.
What is the time commitment?
Following the training intensive, team members should expect to dedicate approximately 10 hours per week in project planning and implementation. Time investment will vary based on the nature of the community project chosen.
What are the selection criteria for participating teams?
We are seeking ten teams of motivated and creative individuals who will work together to help us:
- To protect, enhance and restore critical wetland habitat in BC's Lower Mainland
- To build and mobilize an engaged constituency for wetland protection with the implementation of Metro Vancouver's Ecological Health Action Plan
- To engage members of diverse ages and backgrounds in local community initiatives
- To increase public awareness of the value wetland ecosystems provide to residents
Because space is limited, we need to ensure that selected teams can commit to the full program. Here's what we'll be looking for when we read your team application:
- Leadership ability
- Team cohesion
- Creativity and enthusiasm
- Viability of project idea(s) to accomplish the goals of the program
- Capacity to engage a large number of people
- A strong commitment to protecting wetland ecosystems
Can you give me an example of a community project?
The goal of this program is to protect and celebrate wetland ecosystems in B.C.'s Lower Mainland and raise awareness of their critical value amongst local residents. From experience, we know that participants will dream up amazing projects that engage their communities in meaningful ways.
Here are some examples of potential community projects:
- A naturalist group can organize a weekend bio-blitz at a wetland site to record the biodiversity in the ecosystem
- An eco-club can organize monthly clean-ups in a degrade wetland
- A local business can 'adopt' a nearby wetland and host regular educational walks for employees, customers and community members
Don't forget...you will have the opportunity to work with Foundation staff to vision, plan and implement their projects during the leadership training weekend.
Does the program cost anything for participants?
Camp Suzuki is generously funded by David Suzuki Foundation's donors.
Because the program is competitive, each individual participant is asked to pay a registration fee upon acceptance to reserve their place in the Camp Suzuki program. The fee helps offset administrative costs and is based on a sliding scale. Lack of funds should not act as a barrier to participation — please contact Aryne Sheppard if you have any concerns.
Please note: teams will not receive funding from the David Suzuki Foundation for their project.
What are the benefits of participating?
Here are some of the good things you can expect:
- Be a part of an exclusive and cutting edge leadership program
- Extensive training in community organizing, leadership, and environmental activism
- Learn about natural capital valuation and how it can support conservation initiatives
- Design and implement a unique initiative in your own community with the support of the David Suzuki Foundation
- Take on significant leadership in your own community, expand your personal network, and develop meaningful roots in your community
- Camp Suzuki training manual and planning guide, copy of lower mainland natural capital valuation reports and supporting tools
- Meet like-minded people, be a force for good, and most importantly, have fun!
When will I find out if my team is selected?
The application deadline for Camp Suzuki is April 25, 2012. Staff will consider applications as they are received. Teams may be contacted by telephone for an informal interview.
All teams will receive email notification as to the status of their application by May 1, 2012.
Who can I contact if I have questions about the program?
Please email Aryne Sheppard, Senior Public Engagement Specialist at email@example.com.

[utube url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qefeKMAADxQ"]
Recently, I received an inquiry from a client's employee, who wanted to submit a new W-4 to her employer. Her employer would not accept it because the employer had a lock-in-letter from the IRS on file specifying how much to withhold (based on setting the withholding status) from the employee's payroll. That lock-in-letter mandates what the employer must withhold from the employee regardless of the employee's wishes. See Lock-in-Letters.
I told the employee she should have received a letter from the IRS telling her how to refute the amount that the government was requiring her employer to withhold because the employer is required to maintain that withholding status until the IRS changes or releases the lock-in letter – if ever.
Here's what the IRS has to say in regard to lock-in letters and employees' rights:
Q: As a company employee, can the IRS tell my employer what to withhold from my payroll if the IRS thinks I am not withholding enough, regardless of my W4.
A. The IRS will tell your employer to withhold tax at a higher rate to insure enough withholding by sending a lock-in letter to your employer. Your employer must ignore any W4 you file that would lower that withholding. You should get a copy of the letter from the IRS. You will have a grace period before it goes into effect. You can send a new W4 and a statement to the IRS supporting your position on the withholding status you want to claim. You should send everything to the address on the letter you received from the IRS. Once the lock-in-letter goes into effect you can't change your withholding status without the IRS saying you can.
Employees researching lock-in letters online will probably find sites insisting that the IRS can't send lock-in-letters, that the IRS does not have the right. These sites will also say you can sue your employer and other silly things. But in truth, the IRS does have the right to set an increased withholding rate – and employees also have the right to prove the case for a lower rate.
If you have a legitimate argument that taxes are being over-withheld, even after the grace period, send the information to the IRS, and ask for a change. Also taxes that are over withheld will show up in a refund when you file that year's Form 1040 Personal Income Tax Return. And there's nothing like a fat refund to prove to the IRS that a locked-in-letter withholding amount needs to be changed.

The founding member of the thrash metal band, and former member of Metallica, is set to take the stage at Copley Symphony Hall at 8 p.m. for "Symphony Interrupted," which will be conducted by Ken-David Masur, according to the symphony's website. Symphony organizers billed the event as "truly unique," and said the 52-year-old guitarist would bring his "crunchy and energetic sensibility to the great works of classical music which have inspired him over the course of is Grammy-nominated, multiplatinum-selling career." Mustaine, who is from La Mesa, will perform "Summer" and "Winter" movements from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," and Bach's "Air."

I am a fan of the Warhammer world, and received last christmas the WHI Core Set. I play it casually with my friends, and I am the one providing the cards.
I'd like to expand, but I am quite confused as to what to buy, between the multitude of battle packs within the 6 cycles, and the deluxe expansions.
Should I focus on one cycle and buy all packs within? For example, what would the Corruption cycle do to my game? Or should I just go for the deluxe expansions?
Thanks in advance

When I'm president of the world,
I'll move the White House to Harlem,
Outlaw guns—especially the ones
they make to take out you and me.
When I'm president of the world,
Babies won't ever go hungry,
Pampers and cable TV will be free,
And houses in the hood will look like the ones on
I'll fix the hole in the ozone,
Make it illegal to be grown and styling in the same
clothes that your kids put on.
When I'm president of the world,
I will listen more than talk,
instead of ride.
That way I'll see America through other people's
When I am president of the world,
I will still come for dinner on Sundays.
But no chicken, please.
People might not understand.

Who Are These Guys?
"Tinker" - He's the 'Brains' of the operation. He claims to have been in 'the business' longer than anyone else, and his knowledge, insights and ability to stay more than one step ahead of everyone else seem to prove that what he claims is true.
He's the anonymous author of 'The Henchmen's Blog" which provides a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to work for a supervillain. One of his stated goals is to one day publish his blog and retire.
"Evers" - He's the "Muscle" for the team. He's much tougher and more dangerous than he looks, and because of his size and quiet demeanor he's often underestimated, which he uses to his advantage. He'll do any job if the price is right, but there are lines he'll never cross for any amount.
"Chance" - He's the "Hands" guy for the Henchmen team. There's no lock that he can't open and no pocket that he can't pick. He's so talented at what he does, he considers himself almost super-powered, and he thinks if he had some genuine super-human ability, he'd be an amazing super-villain himself.
He also considers himself to be quite the ladies' man…
The Collector - In a world where Super Heroes and Villains are constantly in the news, they have become like sports figures or music celebrities, and so there's a similar interest in collectibles from the most popular ones. The Collector deals in all sorts of super-memorabilia and is a great source of information about super goings-on both past and present.
VIXX – She's the new Super Villain in town and her power comes from evil magic. The guys are working for her, but they're finding out just how dangerous she can be.

But, just as some homeowners are finding that a home declining in value can wipe out their down payment, hedge funds are learning how sensitive their investments are to even modest declines. One main problem: Collateral backing their borrowing is also falling in value, and banks are demanding more collateral in turn. Such collateral calls typically kick in when a fund loses 25% of value. That creates "forced selling" for funds, pushing stock-market averages lower.
The current mix of investor withdrawals, declining markets and banks withdrawing financing can be dangerous for even large hedge funds, says Antonio Munoz-Sune, head of the U.S. for fund of funds EIM. "The combination can take anyone down," regardless of size.
If you think there was a lot of screaming about bailing out Wall Street, imagine the caterwauling if we're forced to bail out Greenwich, Connecticut. Their paychecks have been much, much bigger.
Breakingviews is smart today in pointing out that hedge funds' compensation structures, like those at investment banks, led them to take on too much risk.
With a 2 percent fee to manage money and 20 percent of profits, hedge funds are structured to gamble other people's money. There's no clawback provision when the manager loses tons of money, as lots of hedgies are doing now. That needs to be reformed.
And breakingviews is very pessimistic about the economy, as well it should be.
The Journal says commercial real estate is the next shoe to drop, quoting a JPMorgan report that estimates 7 percent of the $3.4 trillion in outstanding debt will go bad in the next decade. That would be the highest rate since the commercial real estate depression of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
But it's not clear to me from the Journal if that number includes condos, which are often considered commercial real estate loans, even though they're residential projects. It seems to, though the paper confuses the issue here:
After years of plunging residential property valuations, commercial real estate is heading into the danger zone as office vacancies rise, stores close and hotel bookings fall…Defaults on commercial real-estate debt remain less than 1%, compared with more than 10% at the worst point of that earlier collapse. Rents and vacancy rates have so far remained solid, enabling most properties to pay their debt service.
The major exception has been construction loans to single-family home builders and condo developers.
It seems to be saying that residential is the real problem with "commercial" real estate.
Finally, the Journal is good today with one of its classic page-one "aheds", this one on "ICE Air" the illegal-immigrant repatriation airline whose business is soaring these days.
While U.S. airlines downsize and scrimp on amenities, one carrier is offering its passengers leather seats, ample legroom and free food. But frequent fliers probably don't want a ticket on what may be the fastest growing "airline" serving Central America.This carrier is run by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency responsible for finding and deporting undocumented immigrants. A crackdown on illegal immigration has led to a spike in deportations and the creation of a de facto airline to send the deportees home.

falling pregnant after miscarriage
I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks 1 month ago and had a D & C as the mass was still there. We are TTC and have been since 3 days after the D & C. I have been tracking my ovulation through an ovulation kit but I still haven't had a period since the D & C. How can I track my ovulation accurately if i haven't had my period yet? Why haven't I had a period yet and Is the ovulation kit going to be correct? I'm really confused and desperate to be pregnant again.

I went through so much trial and error, discovered so much information and figured out exactly what it would take to get pregnant and have the baby of my dreams. I read hundreds of clinical trial papers, I spent hours on end at the library researching reproduction and I studied countless articles, medical reports, web sites, books, transcripts, research papers and forum posts. I spent many hours (and dollars!) in consultation with different "fertility specialists" and even they didn't tell me half of what I discovered! And then I found this amazing website http://aboutgettingpregnant.com . After following all the methods in the e-book, I cried tears of happiness at the sight of my positive pregnancy test, I released tears of anguish from all the months gone by and I cried tears of hope that I would hold my precious baby who I wanted to love and care for so much.posted 09/06/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Spread one side of each of 3 slices of the bread with some of the scallion butter and top the buttered side of one of the slices with an overlapping layer of the radishes. Top the radishes with another slice of the buttered bread, buttered side down, and butter the top of the slice. Top the butter with an overlapping layer of the radishes and top the radishes with the remaining slice of the buttered bread, buttered side down. Press the sandwich together gently, trim the crusts, and cut the sandwich lengthwise into thirds. Make sandwiches with the remaining bread, butter, and radishes in the same manner. The sandwiches may be made 2 hours in advance and kept wrapped in plastic and chilled.

Hi. I'm so sad...I'm new at gardening and I think I over-fertilized my 2 tomato plants. I don't have pictures yet, but hope to as soon as I learn how to post them. The bottom leaves are dead and one long stem is turning yellow. I don't know how much is too much and I was so proud of my very first plants and all the delicious tomatoes I was getting from them. I probably over water them too. The tomatoes used to be beautiful but now the bottoms of them are brown and leathery. The one plant is as tall or maybe taller than me and I thought that it would need lots of watering. I'm 5'3" and my one plant used to be so green and I had lots of tomatoes. My question? How does one know how much water or how much fertilizer for one tomato plant? I can't believe I am this upset over tomato plants. I don't know what else to say.....thanks for any help in advance. :( |
Follow-Up Postings:
A picture would help for certain, but what you describe doesn't sound like over fertilization to me. You are posting to the square foot gardening forum and this leads me to ask why you are fertilizing at all and with what. If you are going 'by the book' you have used Mel's mix which generally doesn't require fertilizer if the compost is being replaced at each planting. I say generally because some, myself included, find a little extra nitrogen helps some plants do better. Over watering could be a problem, but I would expect the entire plant to wilt from root death, not a bottom up decline. So, I don't know what the problem is, but it doesn't really sound like an over watering/fertilizing issue. One way to post pictures is to get a free account at photobucket, follow their instructions to upload photos to their site and then under each picture you upload they provide the code to copy/paste into the message box at garden web. You want the one beginning with HTML Tag. |

My friend helped me upload this picture and I am new at the square foot gardening so much that I finally built 2 boxes and added the mix today. No, I haven't read the book yet, but my tomato plants were started before I learned about all of this. Thank you for any help. |

I believe what you have is called Blossom end rot. This occurs during dry periods, the lack of water creates a deficiency in calcium uptake. Resulting in leathery fruit. You should remove the fruit that have this and discard. Tomatoes need a large amount of water especialy when their fruit is forming. The leaves that are curled are normal and their is nothing you can do about this. Most often the lower branches will yellow. But you have leaves throughout that have died. I believe this is from lack of consistant water. I would water well every 2 to 3 days during dry periods. Do not allow your tomatoes to dry out this will cause cracks in the fruit and dead leaves. As far as furtilizer I doubt that is your problem. |

Thank you mommyof6peas....I was scared to over water, so I think I under watered. I'm going to remove the fruit but I'm thinking my plants are doomed. They look worse than the picture. I'll water more. And yes, the watering has been inconsistent. Thank you for your help. |

The Montana Dental Association represents your interests in the dental health policy debate at all levels of government. The MDA follows the activities of local, state, and federal officials to make sure that your interests and the dental health care needs of all Montana citizens are represented.
The Montana Dental Association helps to keep you involved in important health public policy debates and informed of the issues that affect your practice.
What Is MoDePAC?
MoDePAC is the political action committee organized by MDA. Membership is open to dentists, their spouses, or members of the dentist's immediate family. The PAC is governed by a board of directors comprised of one director from each MDA component who serves for a three‑year term. Contributions from the PAC are limited to state political candidates. MoDePACs directors decide which candidates will receive campaign contributions. Political action committees in Montana are authorized under the Campaign Finance and Practices Laws. The laws contain limits on how much a candidate may receive from a PAC.
Members of MoDePAC know that the decisions made by politicians affect how dentists manage their everyday lives and their dental practices. Each session of the Montana legislature many bills are introduced that affect oral health care, dental insurance, small businesses, and access to dental care. MoDePAC ensures that the voices of dentists and organized dentistry are heard. The political action committee makes campaign contributions to assist candidates with their election efforts.
What is the '99 Club?
Funds from '99 Club are spent to support the association's grassroots contact network and to educate public officials and legislators about dentistry's political issues. Funds help defray lobbying costs and pay for sponsoring Dental Day at the Montana Legislature, including the dinner hosted by MDA for legislators.
The '99 Club funds also have been used to pay the expenses of MDA members who attend the national issues conference in Washington DC sponsored by the American Dental Association's political action committee, ADPAC. Money collected for MDA's '99 Club may not be used for direct contributions to candidates.

Let's see if there are any lessons to be learned from the string of seafood-antidumping cases that have roiled the industry in recent years.If there is one notion that links all of the litigation, it would be a sense of perceived unfairness. Domestic salmon producers claimed that they were financially injured by "unfairly" lowpriced farmed salmon from Chile. Domestic crawfish producers accused China of "unfairly" selling cheap frozen tail meat to U.S. consumers. American catfish farmers railed against low-priced competition from Vietnam (and famously lobbied Congress to pass a law requiring that Vietnamese catfish be called basa). And the U.S. shrimp industry accused six Asian and Latin American countries of selling their shrimp to Americans at "unfairly" low prices.In each case, the feds slapped on antidumping tariffs aimed at driving up prices of the foreign product. But the tariffs have failed to stop the flood of imports. Cheap Chilean farmed salmon still dominates the U.S. market. Frozen crawfish tail meat from China is still offered in grocery stores — even in New Orleans — at prices cheaper than the domestic product. U.S. consumers are still buying Vietnamese "catfish" by whatever name, some of which is clearly smuggled into U.S. ports and falsely labeled to evade the tariffs.And countries like Indonesia that weren't targeted in antidumping litigation have happily exported shrimp to America that otherwise would have come from the likes of India or China.Beyond a doubt, the tariffs have not solved the problems of domestic industries that have fallen on hard times.If protectionist tariffs don't work, what does? I believe that the answer is in embracing globalization, not trying to hide from it.I grew up in Peoria, Ill., where my grandfather acquired a goiter due to a lack of iodine in his diet. The first shrimp I ever saw was in the 1950s on a family vacation to Florida.Fast forward to the 21st century, and Dixon Fisheries in a no-longer isolated Peoria brings the delights of the seas to the Midwest — including shrimp from everywhere. Is it unfair that, when Jim Dixon can't find fresh shrimp from Louisiana, he brings it in from Thailand? Dixon is clearly offering a fair shrimp deal to Peoria consumers, who otherwise couldn't get the stuff.I now live in rural Rappahannock County, Va., which is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, about 90 minutes from downtown Washington, D.C. Nobody would immediately suggest that Rappahannock County is a model of globalization. However, Chef Jim McCullough at the acclaimed Bleu Rock Inn in Washington, Va., gets his fresh seafood by 24-hour air freight from anywhere in the world: sea bass from Chile and salmon from Alaska's Copper and Yukon rivers, and also frozen shrimp from Thailand. He's currently looking to source wild shrimp from Louisiana.A few miles up Route 211, John Oravec and Terri Lehman operate a gourmet grocery store called the Epicurious Cow. A recent ECOW menu offered 10/15-count Alabama shrimp, some cooked cocktail shrimp from Thailand, crawfish tail meat from China, Alaska salmon and also organic salmon from Ireland. Creative, resourceful entrepreneurs who embrace globalization show the seafood industry's present — and future. Antidumping tariffs don't.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 "7-Inch" vs. Google Nexus 7 "1" vs. HP Slate 7 vs. Xperia Tablet Z
There are certainly different tablets by different manufacturers in the market that choosing one can be a great challenge. Indeed, most consumers do find it very difficult to choose between two or more tablets. A little comparison between Samsung Galaxy 3" 7-inch, Google Nexus 7, HP Slate 7 and Xperia Tablet Z should help you in choosing one that will of service to you.
Update: Google Nexus 7 "2" is announced, you might wanna check this comparison Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 "7Inch" vs The New Google Nexus 7 2
There is no doubt that a tablet's portability is one of the most likely things you will look into when doing comparisons. You will therefore want to look at the size of a tablet you are interested in. In this respect, Nexus 7 beats Samsung Galaxy 3 7-inches, HP Slate 7 and Xperia Tablet Z. Measuring 198.5 mm X 120 mm X 10.45 mm and weighing at 340 g, the Nexus 7 is perfect for travel and more so if you are into gaming. Note that Samsung Galaxy 3 measures 7.1 inches X 4.37 inches X 0.39 inches and weighs 0.67 pounds. HP Slate tablet measures 197 mm X 116 mm X 10.7 mm and weighs at 370g. Xperia Tablet Z completes the picture with measurements of 266 X 172 X 6.9 mm, weighing at 495 g.Operating System
Although all the four tablets feature one of the most powerful operating systems (Android), each has a different version, which determines their different capabilities. Of the four, Nexus 7 has latest Android (Jelly Bean) 4.2 version and Sony Xperia Tablet Z operate on the Android (Jelly Bean) 4.1.2 version. Both Samsung Galaxy 3" 7-inches and HP Slate 7 tablets operate on Android (Jelly Bean) 4.1 version.Storage
Storage is very important when choosing tablet. It is only a tablet with adequate storage capacity that gives you room to store your picture, media and personal files for future use. In this regard, Samsung Galaxy 3" 7-inch is available with either 8 GB or 16 GB internal storage capacity with 1 GB RAM. Nexus 7 is available with 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB internal storage, all with 1 GB RAM. Both Samsung and Nexus have external expandable memories. While HP Slate 7 is only available with 8 GB internal storage that can be expanded externally up to 32 GB, Sony Xperia Tab Z comes along with 16 GB internal memory and can be extend up to 64GB. On RAM, HP Slate 7 comes with 1 GB RAM while Sony Xperia Tab Z has 2 GB RAM. Likewise, HP Slate 7 has external expandable memory through MicroSD/HC up to 32 GB. Sony Xperia Tav Z too has an external expandable memory of up to 64 GB.Display
This is probably one of the most important features you will look in any tablet you are interested in and the four tablets do not disappoint. Samsung Galaxy 3" has a large 7-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen with 1024 X 600 resolutions. Likewise, you will find the Nexus 7 with a 7-inch WXGA display with 1280 X 800 high resolutions. While HP Slate 7 has a display with resolutions of 1024 X 600 pixels, the Sony Xperia Tab Z is available with an LED touch screen display of 10.1 inches with 1200 X 1920 pixels. This is on a shatterproof glass display.Cameras
There is certainly nothing as good as having a tablet that has superior cameras for quality pictures and video. In this regard, Samsung Galaxy 3" 7-inch comes with a 3 MP integrated camera and a 1.3 MP secondary camera at the back. You will find Nexus 7 with a 1.2 MP front facing camera. The HP Slate 7 tablets seem to have superior cameras; a front-facing VGA video Webcam camera and another 3 MP Webcam camera at the back. Sony Xperia Tablet Z too does not disappoint. It is available with 8.1 MP with 1080 pixels video-recording camera at the front and a 2.2 MP with 1080 pixels camera at the back.Networking
All the four tablets have great networking that allows you to indulge in various activities. While both Samsung Galaxy 3" 7-inch and Nexus 7 tablets have integrated WiFi 802.11, HP Slate 7 has built-in WiFi 802.11 b/g/n. This is same to Sony Xperia Tablet Z that also has WiFi 802.11 b/g/n.Connections
Having a tablet that you can connect other devices can be very beneficial. Samsung Galaxy 3" 7-inch tablet is not only Bluetooth enabled but also allows USB 2.0 connection as well. The same goes for Nexus 7 that is also Bluetooth enabled with MicroSB USB 2.0 connection. While HP Slate 7 is also Bluetooth enabled, it allows for Micro USB 2.1 connection. On the other hand, Sony Xperia Tablet is Bluetooth enabled and also allows for USB 2.0 connection.Media
Consumers now go for devices that provide for different forms of entertainment and you are certainly not an exception. You should find Samsung Galaxy 3" 7-inch tab a valuable device. It allows for media playback and supports such audio files as AAC, FLAC, MP3 and WAV files. It also supports WMA and MPEG-4 video files. The Nexus 7 is also valuable particularly when it comes to music. It offers quality sound experience and supports music files such as MP3, WAV, Eaaac+ and WMA files. The same goes for both HP Slate 7 and Sony Xperia Tablet that also offer great entertainment experience.Battery Life
A device's battery life is very important and it is only appropriate that you choose a tablet with a long battery life, a tablet that you can use for a reasonable time without the need to recharge. While Samsung is powered by a 4,000 mAh lithium-ion battery, Nexus 7 comes along with a powerful 4,325 mAh lithium-ion non-removable battery that offers 8 hours of quality HD video playback, 10 hours of web browsing and 300 hours of standby time. You will find HP Slate 7 with a 2 mAh lithium-ion battery that offers up to 5 hours of video playback. On the other hand, Sony Xperia Tablet Z is available with a 6,000 mAh battery.Central Processing Unit
This is certainly one of the most important features you will want to ascertain in any tablet and for good reason; it is the processor that determines a tablet's speed and performance. In this regard, Samsung Galaxy 3" 7-inch tab comes with 1.2 GHz processor. You should find Nexus 7 with a powerful Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor. While HP Slate 7 is powered by a 1.6 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 dual core processor, Sony Xperia Tablet Z has a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor.Color
It is appreciated that most consumers take the choice of color very seriously and will do all that it takes to find a tablet in a color of their preference. In this respect, Samsung Galaxy 3" 7-inch tab has very little to offer as it's only available in white. Nexus 7 tab is available in varied colors including black, brown, hot pink and white. While HP Slate is available in red and silver, you will find Sony Xperia Tablet in black and white.Price
Although highly functional in different areas, all the four tablets retail at different prices in different regions of the globe. Samsung Galaxy 3" 7-inch tab generally retails at around $199. You should find Nexus 7 retailing between $155 and $199 depending on your region. While HP Slate retails at $140 (after $30 reduction), Sony Xperia Table Z goes for around $499.99.Conclusion
You may need to note that this comparison is not meant to state the best tablet of the four. It is meant to bring out the vital features that can help you in choosing a tablet that best suits your tablet need.Author: Fahad

This is the only thing I can find in the book that isn't addressed 100%.
Spray weapon icon for this discussion = *
Spray weapon description says a */1 weapon is 1 dice per model in the unit just like Tactics. It also states that a */2 is 2 dice per model, etc. it doesn't describe the napalm thrower and Chef's flamers, which are **/1. Now, Tactics logic would be that you could target two different units that are in range of the flamers, but Warfare is not specific from what I can see. I'm actually discussing this point with Andy Chambers over on the Facebook group. What's the opinion of you all on how it's handled?

Do you like PK Ring magic... BUT don't like wearing a ring? The 'Dude That's Cool Magic- PK Blista' is a PK utility device that allows you to perform incredible effects seemingly empty handed. It's silent, virtually invisible and tiny enough to take up no pocket space. If James Bond used a PK gimmick, this would be the one! With a magnetic strength comparable to a PK ring, the PK Blista has the added advantage of being significantly quieter in use, opening up a whole new world of performance possibilities! Each PK Blista (2 x supplied)
In addition join your host and creative thinker Liam Montier on the accompanying 22 minute DVD as he discusses the gimmick in more detail. Not only will he teach you methods for ringing the gimmick in and out and handling it in a totally natural manner, he will explain the following awesome (and easy to do effects): Coin in Bottle - Borrowed coin penetrates through the base of a soda bottle. Coin Thru Hand - A marked coin vanishes from the back of your hand, only to reappear within your clenched fist along with some previously discarded pocket change. The Mental Bag - Five spectators each randomly select a coin from a bag. You use your mentalist powers to predict who has taken which coin. Time to get Blista-ed!
