Jobs With Fair Share
Opening: Executive Director, Florida Consumer Action Network
Opening: Fair Share Political Director
Opening: Fair Share State Organizer
If you're looking for the opportunity to organize, advocate and fight for an economy that works for all of us, apply to be a Fair Share Organizer today.
Through door-to-door community outreach and grassroots lobbying, Fair Share works to provide every American with a fair shot at a good job, a secure future, and a strong voice in our democracy. Fair Share also works to elect leaders who will stand up for a fair economy and against corporate greed and powerful wealthy interests.
Our Campaigns
Fair Share State Organizers will build the public and political support we need to protect the middle class and rebuild America's economy. Whether it's big corporations or right-wing politicians who block progress at every turn, we face powerful opposition. To overcome that opposition we need to build people power -- gaining media attention and the support of broad-based coalitions, informing the public and mobilizing citizens to take grassroots action. Our state organizers will build this power by developing district-level networks of key constituencies, experts, media, and activists, and mobilizing that network to take action on our top campaigns, including:
Corporate Tax Loopholes: When times are tough, everyone needs to do their part. Our economy is still recovering slowly, yet corporations are using loopholes to get out of paying their fair share. We are losing $100 billion a year through corporate tax loopholes – money that could be spent to put America back to work or secure our retirement. There is a fair and simple solution. If we close corporate tax loopholes, we can raise $100 billion a year to spend on our priorities, like putting people back to work/strengthening retirement programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Congress has until March 1st to reach a budget deal or automatic, across-the-board spending cuts will go into effect, which economists warn could cause a major economic relapse. It's time for Congress to make corporations pay their fair share, demand an end to corporate tax loopholes and outdated subsidies, and put that money to work for the American economy.
Kids Not Cuts: We believe that everyone deserves a fair shot in life, and that starts with a quality education. Unfortunately, some in Congress are moving to cut billions from education. Congress already made deep cuts in early 2013 that will slash programs for 1.2 million kids and take 30,000 teachers out of classrooms. Now, House Budget Chair Paul Ryan wants to slash education funds with another $6.9 billion in cuts to our schools, our teachers, and our kids in the next year alone. As Congress debates the education budget, Fair Share is working to make sure that our representatives stand up for our kids.
This is an opportunity to build the organization from the ground up. State organizers will:
• Establish Fair Share in the community as a credible messenger about the economy.
• Build relationships with partner organizations in the progressive community; potentially coordinate a statewide coalition.
• Plan and implement campaign strategies and tactics.
• Identified and develop state-level campaign work in coordination with other organizations.
• Organize town hall meetings and other public events to lift up constituents' voices and hold elected leaders accountable.
• Lobby lawmakers directly; make a convincing case for our policy goals.
• Create news events to get the word out about your campaign through the media.
• Recruit, train and manage volunteers and activists.
• Run citizen outreach campaigns: you'll build the power of your organization, learning to fundraise, manage staff and educate the public.
• Write grants and create other fundraising opportunities for the state.
• Identify and cultivate all Fair Share members and donors in the state.
• Perform administrative responsibilities
• Develop activists into leaders for the long term movement for a more fair society.
We're seeking smart, creative college graduates who are motivated by fairness and passionate about creating change. Experience with community and/or political organizing is preferred but not required.
Fair Share organizers make a two-year commitment during which time you will earn the experience necessary for a life-long career of activism. You'll gain skills in political organizing, advocacy and fundraising and learn how to build powerful, statewide organizations.
Fair Share is part of a network of national and state-based organizations. As a member of our team you'll have the opportunity to work with, and learn from, our national staff and staff from other states and take part in national campaigns and national trainings.
Salary & Benefits
Salary for experienced candidates is commensurate with relevant professional experience. In addition, full-time staff can opt into our state health care coverage, are eligible for paid sick days and vacation days, and can apply for our college loan assistance program. Our staff members accrue two weeks of vacation by the end of their first year and three weeks in their second year. We require a two-year commitment for this position.

I was student of Dhaka City College from 1996 to 1998. It is shocked news for us, the student of our City College. Hafizudding Sir was a great teacher, though not popular among us during our study on College because he was strict on rules and regulations of College. But after leaving College life we realized how much he love us and because of his strict regulations we are now in our present condition.
Without his guideline I have strong doubt about my current position. I think all of ex-student of Dhaka City Collage will understand my opinion. Anyway, Let us all pray for his soul and may Allah give his family member to recover the shock.
The Daily Star published the News about Hafiz Uddin Sir is given bellow:
Mohammad Hafiz Uddin, principal of Dhaka City College, passed away last night at the city's Square Hospital at the age of 65.
Principal Hafiz left his wife, a son and a daughter and a host of admirers to mourn his death.
He served the college for the last 33 years as a principal.
His namaz-e-janaza will be held after Zohr prayers today at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque and be buried at Azimpur graveyard.
His Qulkhwani will be held after Asr prayers on Friday on the Dhaka City College premises.
Relatives, friends and well-wishers are requested to attend the Qulkhwani

Mixed results with reforms
PUBLISHED: 15 Mar 2012 00:08:27 | UPDATED: 15 Mar 2012 07:06:43PUBLISHED: 15 Mar 2012 PRINT EDITION: 15 Mar 2012Ainslie Chandler
Western Australia and the Northern Territory have taken great strides in development assessment reform in the past two years but other jurisdictions have had mixed results in formulating and implementing change, according to a Residential Development Council report.
The Development Assessment Report Card 2012, which follows the inaugural 2010 report, rated each jurisdiction against the Development Assessment Forum's key areas of planning and development effectiveness, including policy effectiveness, objectiveness, private sector involvement and the appeals process.
NT and WA were the top two performers, with scores of 7.1 and 7.5 respectively. Both improved on their 2010 results.
NSW's score improved from 2010, but it remained among the worst performers, amid confusion regarding the potential outcomes of the O'Farrell government's current reforms.
Tasmania made a modest improvement, also off a low base, while the ACT's score also rose slightly.
South Australia's score fell, after the potential of the state government's planning reforms was not met, as it experienced a backlash from local governments, Residential Development Council executive director Caryn Kakas said. Meanwhile, Victoria and Queensland's scores remained flat.
"Victoria was always considered to be the best place for planning but they've lost the drive for reform," Ms Kakas said. "They don't have a big proactive reform agenda."
In Queensland, some changes had been made but many depended on the outcome of next week's election.
Ms Kakas said the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) had failed to make reforms it had promised after the initial 2010 report, which included standard national templates for development assessments and standard reporting of annual development assessment performance from each jurisdiction.
COAG had also committed to benchmarks for track-based assessment, which allowed lower-risk projects to proceed without intensive assessment so resources could be dedicated to more complicated developments, but they had yet to happen.
COAG needed a clear reform agenda for development assessments. A national commitment to an online development assessment system, and later an online planning system was also needed.

while watering my flower bed and pulling weeds I found this large bulb with bulbets I think maybe a lily but my lilies don't grow in that area. I quickly made a small hole and planted it and early this this morning we had a small shower I am thinking of going out digging it up and planting in larger whole, opinion please |
Follow-Up Postings:
Betcha its a squirrel that's found your garden and wasn't particularly hungry at the time he dug up your bulb. Its becoming a ritual in my garden for the past 2 seasons; a squirrel comes, digs up 2 or 3 bulbs and drops where my lawn mower finds them. The first year I thought it was a friendly passerby or maybe a neighbor who wants to rid his garden and knew that I have a rather extensive bulb patch. Then, after I planted them I realized where the bulbs came from. The flowers were exactly what was showing in my garden. So the only thing that I could come up is I've got a thief of a squirrel who doesn't dig what I put on his dinner plate. Yes, pun intended. |

Finally, a dessert you can feel "good" about eating while still satisfying your sweet tooth.
Lately, chai tea has been a must for me in the afternoon. I wanted to take those flavors and apply them to a healthy dessert.
The pears are naturally sweet and delicious. With a few added chai spices and a little bit of sugar, this is the perfect, light dessert.
Cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger are the spices I chose to incorporate into my chai spice. These spices give the pears a warming glow.
Chai Spiced Poached Pear Recipe
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon cardamom pods, cracked but seeds intact
- 3 cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 (1/2 inch) slices of ginger
- Pinch of Kosher salt
- 4 firm pears
- Creme fraiche for garnish
- In a medium saucepan, add the sugar, wine, lemon juice, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon stick, ginger, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let sugar dissolve.
- Add the pears and add a little water so that pears are completely submerged. Cover with the lid slightly ajar and cook until pears are tender, turning occasionally, about 30 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer pears to a separate plate. Turn up the heat on the poaching liquid and reduce to about 1 cup. Spoon the syrup over the pears and dollop with creme fraiche.

BURBANK, Calif. – The Walt Disney Company today reported earnings for its second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 28, 2009. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the second quarter were $0.33 including restructuring and impairment charges which had a $0.10 per share impact on EPS. Excluding these items, EPS decreased 26% to $0.43 from $0.58 in the prior-year quarter.
For the six month period, diluted EPS was $0.78. In addition to the restructuring and impairment charges, EPS for the six month period included a gain on the sale of our investment in two pay television services in Latin America. Collectively, these items adversely affected EPS by $0.07 per share for the six months. Excluding these items, EPS decreased 30% to $0.85 from $1.21 in the prior year six months.
"We had a difficult second quarter due to the weak economy and other factors," said Robert A. Iger, president and CEO, The Walt Disney Company. "At the same time, we remain focused on our core business strategy and believe our creativity, brands and businesses will serve us well as the economy recovers."

Here are your fantasy studs for December 20:
Goals: Marian Gaborik was the familiar face atop the NHL scorer's leaderboard tonight with his two goals and single assist against the New Jersey Devils. I say familiar because he was joined at the top of the pile by Ottawa Senators forward Erik Condra who scored two goals in the Senators win over the Buffalo Sabres. As far as fantasy options go, if Gaborik is not taken in your league you and your competitors are a disgrace given that he may be the best pure goal scorer in the league (i.e. that's all he does). As far as Condra, don't be tempted by a big night. Tonight's output was 1/3 of his scoring this season.
Assists: Speaking of familiar faces, Evgeni Malkin has been ripping it up since Sidney Crosby went down and has looked possessed since the season kicked off. He has company at the top of the scoring leaderboard as Rangers' sophomore Derek Stepan had three assists in the Rangers' victory over the Devils. For all that was made of the Richards signing, Stepan has really flourished when paired when with Gaborik so it'll be interesting to keep an eye on. As I said on Saturday night if you wanted a time to pick up Malkin it is NOW. The guy is on another level and only getting better. As far as Stepan, his point production will be directly proportional to his time with Gaborik so keep an eye on Rangers line combos.
PIMs: John Scott is our heavyweight of the night for rushing to the aid of teammate Marcus Kruger after he was demolished by Deryk Engelland of the Penguins. Scott is an interesting case because he's a pretty tough customer when it comes down to it, but his penalty minutes don't always reflect that. He also switches positions from time to time – he played forward tonight – but is generally listed as a defenceman. I don't see much fantasy value in him, but if you're a diehard 'Hawks fan with a roster spot, have fun.
Goaltending: In the goaltending department I'm going to give tonight's Backhand Shelf Vezina award to Marc-Andre Fleury of the Penguins. With no shutouts in the NHL (damn you for ruining my predictions, Josh Harding) Fleury was tied for the lead in wins (1) and led the league in saves (36) to top all goaltenders in fantasy production. Fleury is one of the top fantasy goaltenders in hockey. Enough said.
Those are your fantasy studs from December 20.
Happy winning friends,

Sorry folks - it has been such a long long long long time!! Had to move once from Lindsay to Blanchard but now living in the heart of Blanchard and loving every moment of it...
Veggie gardens still going strong, not the numbers I would like but I keep planting seeds and they keep coming up and I keep saving the seeds again so I love the time spent... Native plants I have taken up again gardening with the local natives, got with the county and got a great list of all natives in my area and started looking - have 100 or so out there growing in pots from cuttings taken from the roadside - trying to get roses the same way - never had much luck with roses from cuttings but trying again anyway - you never know until you try... So I am here like is calm again (last year was BAD... dont want to go into it here but it was BAD.. ) this years gardens are in everything is blooming like crazy and well life is going well. So once again I am here ready to talk plants! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Mitch, I wondered where you'd been. Welcome back. Maybe you can speak some encouraging words to all the Norman folks who had hail demolish their plantings last night since you've already been through 'BAD' and survived it. It is hot and dry here at our place, but that's the same old, same old news, isn't it? My garden is producing well but the heat, lack of rainfall and spider mites all are ganging up on it this week.

Dawn - Been going through the worst life can give and am out on the other side! I planted only Arkansas Traveler and Black Cherry Tomatoes this year for that reason alone... they keep setting when it gets a little warmer and I can count on them much much much longer. I have had an amazing time with peppers this year! Hate to hear the Norman folks had the hail - been working in Newcastle with the tornado victims... hard to believe our weather this year... praying this is not the new norm... terrible storms with amazing drought and heat.. |

POLAND SYNDROME.- ANATOMICAL ANOMALIES AND ASSOCIATED SYNDROMES (Abstract): Poland syndrome is defined as unilateral aplasia of the sternocostal head of the pectoralis major muscle associated with ipsilateral hypoplasia of the hand. The incidence of Poland syndrome is about 1 in 30,000 live births, is more common in male and the exact etiology is still unknown. Many anatomical anomalies are described as part ofPoland syndrome: muscular, hand, breast, renal, cardiac, gastrointestinal. Breast, hand and thoracic anomalies represent an important cosmetic handicap, and may be surgically corrected. Poland syndrome is sometimes associated with other syndromes such as Moebius, Klippel-Feil, Goldenhar or Adams-Oliver. The purpose of this article is to present these anatomical anomalies and syndromes associated with Poland syndrome, which are rarely described in the literature, their clinical aspects and implica-tions for anatomists and surgeons.

Westfield is a major brand in the Seven Kit Car market. Never content with resting on its laurels, Westfield is a true innovator within the kit manufacturing arena having been an early pioneer of bike powered Kit Cars and affordable road going racers.
With over 20 years experience to their name, Westfield have sold over 12,000 Kit Cars worldwide and currently produce over 400 cars a year. Always pushing the boundaries; 2010 saw the exciting announcement of Westfields venture into echo-friendly niche vehicles with its electric IRacer and hybrid Sports Turbo.
Dating back to 1982, Westfield's first Kit Car was developed by historic grand prix competitor and engineer, Chris Smith. Fuelled by his passion for racecars, Chris designed and built a replica of the 1956 Lotus XI Le Mans car (the Westfield XI). Once completed, he was approached by a number of people who were also interested in owning a replica of the model, he went into production and a year later Westfield was born.
After moving to a new premises and taking on more staff, Westfield decided to fade out production of their XI kit and instead focus on the introduction of a new Kit Car, the Westfield 7SE. Alas the lightweight Westfield 7 roadster was born.
In the years that followed Westfield continued to expand, moving factories in 1991 to Kingswinford where they are still based today.
It was from this base that they continued to push their designs and concepts forwards; increasing power and safety while also reducing weight. To this end they were an early developer of bike powered cars and were one of the first manufacturers to get one to market.
In December 2006 the company changed hands with Potenza Sports Cars becoming the new owner of Westfield Kit Cars. Potenza, a family run investment company, had a vision of expanding the business and push it into new areas. To this end, Potenza purchased GTM cars and Roadster Bil AB (A Swedish car manufacturer) in 2007 to add to its Westfield marque.
In the 00's Westfield flourished with developments on and off the track. In 2009 Westfield became the first niche vehicle manufacturer to be awarded a European 'Small Series Production Status' with the launch of a new General Motors VRX powered Sport Turbo.
In 2010 Westfield expanded into the alternative power arena with the unveiling of two new concepts. The electric powered IRacer was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, and the hybrid Sport Turbo demonstrated amid eager anticipation at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
In September 2010 Westfield announced a joint venture with Malaysian auto manufacturer DRB-HICOM. This coupled with the recent release of alternatively powered vehicles suggests that for Westfield Kit Cars; the futures bright, the futures green.

CoffeeShop Texture Pack 1!
I was unable to think of a creative name... for the newest CoffeeShop Texture Pack, so I decided to go with CoffeeShop Texture Pack 1. This will make my future texture pack naming quite simple. ;-) Anyway, the CoffeeShop Texture Pack 1 has four 12x12, 300 dpi .jpg textures which work great in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and other editing programs. I used the free .pngs patterns from Pixels & Ice Cream (here, here, and here) and also pareeerica from Flickr's Carmel Grunge texture. And a little CoffeeShop Creativity! Hope you guys enjoy these. I will be making many more, plus I have a "pile" of actions sitting on my computer that need to be posted up here. I need a nanny and a maid so I can catch up!
Click on the image above to download CoffeeShop Texture Pack 1, and if that doesn't work click HERE!
UPDATE! I just realized my next post will be my 100th!!! I am completely thrilled about that and have decided to post my portrait action (preview image below) this week to celebrate that amazing number. So please keep tuning in for what I think will be my most practical and fun action ever. And thank you for making it incredibly enjoyable for me to actually blog 100 posts. And I still have so much I want to do...

With the ever growing power of computers, computer science and mathematics have been effectively integrated across other fields such as finance. When applied together, computer science, mathematics, and finance are known as computational finance. This presentation will discuss a particular area of computational science, artificial neural networks and predicting stock price performance. Artificial neural networks are a model of neurons found in the human brain. Artificial neural networks have been used in many fields to supplement and replace existing methods because of their relative accuracy. By analyzing the past performance of an object, such as a security, it has been found that an artificial neural network can outperform conventional methods in predicting future performance. This presentation addresses to the design of an artificial neural network. It includes the structure of the network, the mathematical formulas used, training the network, the C++ code behind the network, and the results yielded from the network.
The desire to keep information secure has long been a concern in the communication field. Cryptography has evolved throughout its history from simple substitution methods to complex computer algorithms. All modern web browsers use encryption when sending sensitive data such as passwords and account numbers across the internet to banks and shopping web sites. Public key cryptography is the standard technique for encrypting data and the RSA algorithm is the defacto standard public key algorithm. It relies on the fact that factoring large numbers is computationally expensive and breaking the encryption would take hundreds or thousands of years. This presentation discusses the mathematical principles of public key encryption and demonstrates an example implementation of the RSA algorithm.
A service learning project was undertaken to help a household materials assistance program jointly sponsored by two area churches. The program staff needed a computerized system that would keep track of donors, items donated, and pick-up information. This presentation discusses the process of choosing an appropriate database management system, designing the database schema, selecting a programming language for the application, and developing a custom graphical user interface. The software development model that discussed is known as the waterfall model. The waterfall model involves a series of steps leading to product deployment. Some of the many challenges that arose during the project regarding requirements specification, client communications, testing, and final implementation are addressed.
Our world is full of high, fast paced energy consumption. Society is always producing more technology to harness the need for speed. Rapidly following this necessity is the decrease in fossil fuels available for use. That is the problem that addressed within the research. With the effort already being processed, our world can become more dependent on renewable and alternative energy that can never be in danger of becoming unavailable. Many new opportunities are beneficial to our environment and our own physical wellbeing. With the creation of alternative fuels and discovery of renewable natural resources, there is a reduction in emissions, jobs created, and homes with energy saved. It was surprising to find the number of organizations and countries expending energy and money towards understanding and developing techniques. Products to help with the conservation of energy and recyclable fuels exist within the global market.
Farming is a fragile business. It's daily risks are interactive. Success is determined by weather, market prices, and the risk of occupational injury. Farmers have traditionally used community support to hedge against disaster and attain success for the whole community. While weather and accidents are unpredictable, the commodities market reflects patterns that are similar to other markets and can be isolated and studied. To assist in making educated financial decisions, my research focuses on market insulation for the modern farmer. To analyze the vast amount of data present in the form of stock history, a computer model that employs modern financial techniques is created. Using linear regression, the "random walk" or volatility of the price can be extracted. The model then uses the continuous Black and Schole's formula and the statistics gathered from the history of an individual stock to predict future prices. Using this estimate, with current risk management and hedging techniques, an investment portfolio can be created for the modern farmer for protection against fluctuations in commodity prices. This insulation added to current risk management techniques already in place assists the farmer to achieve overall success.
The use of technology has extended the ability of the human race to manipulate the natural world. As technology continues to evolve, it has quickly become an integral part of our daily lives and has extended its influence into nearly every aspect of human life. The extension and integration of technology within the classroom can be observed by the existence of a variety of different tools. Over the last twenty years, calculators have become widely used in the mathematics classroom, presenting a challenge for teachers trying to balance traditional and modern mathematical approaches. Compiling data from observational field experiences and interviews conducted with current mathematics teachers confirmed the hypothesis that students have become dependent on the convenience of calculators to solve even the simplest of problems. As a result, students are not obtaining the basic mathematical skills necessary to operate efficiently without the assistance of technology. During the presentation we discuss the research findings that examine the impact technology has made in the math classroom and whether it has been beneficial or detrimental for students.
Most people would agree that having the ability to see is a very important part of their life. Unfortunately, everyone in the world does not have the ability to see. In a world of increasing technological advancements, what technology is being developed for those who are visually impaired? Is this technical age helping visually impaired persons more or not at all? How could a visual aid be developed? What would be the steps involved in development? These and other questions will be answered as I cover the process of designing a guidance aid for the visually impaired. This aid employs the use of haptic technology to relay feedback to the wearer of the system. This system is a simulation of how a finished prototype will function. What should be taken away from this project is the following: to better understand the research and development process of design and to begin understanding how an aid for the visually impaired could be designed. This guidance aid is by no means a perfect system. Hopefully this age of increasing technology can help yield some useful results.
In the real world, it is not always possible to collect as much data as would be desired. Such under sampled or irregular data are sometimes called sparse or scattered data. Many problems in science and engineering involve scattered data sets that discourage or even eliminate the possibility of obtaining an acceptable solution with most commonly used techniques which assume the availability of closely sampled, regular data. The relatively new procedure using radial basis functions (RBF's) provides an innovative method for approaching many problems in applied mathematics since it does not require that the data lie on a regular grid and is well suited to sparse data sets. In particular, the interpolation problem is easily approached by approximating the solution with a linear combination of translated RBF's. This method can be implemented fairly easily with MATLAB, and a gradient descent process is used to find an optimal fit. As an example application, an interpolation problem in graphics is discussed that uses over sampling to obtain a zoom-in image.
CAPTCHA images (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart), are a front-line defense in many Internet registration schemes. Organizations such as Yahoo, Google, and Wikipedia rely on CAPTCHAs to verify that an entity attempting to register for email accounts or edit public information is indeed a human. This approach presumes that CAPTCHA images are impossible or very difficult for a computer algorithm to accurately read and guess which characters the image represents. Indeed, traditional algorithms are often not suited for the type of pattern matching required for a processing task such as reading arbitrary characters from a possibly distorted and noisy image. However, neural networks excel at pattern matching and it is the purpose of this presentation to show how neural network technologies can be leveraged to read CAPTCHA images to the end of defeating a common security protocol.

(L to R) Hugh Blowers helped by enquiry officer at Beccles library, Nicky Bedwell; Photo credit: Donna-Louise Bishop (staff)
By DONNA-LOUISE BISHOP
Friday, December 9, 2011
A quick thinking member of staff at Beccles library has been congratulated for her efforts in helping to stop an internet scam which could have potentially conned web users out of thousands of pounds.
"I was just very pleased to help a customer and potentially save a lot of people a lot of expense and heartache."
Inquiry officer at the Blyburgate-based library, Nicky Bedwell, helped to stop the website cloning scam after being alerted to it by regular user Hugh Blowers, after he tried to access his friend's Yorkshire holiday let website.
Mrs Bedwell said it was all in a day's work for her and described it as "just doing my job".
She said: "Following the Netloan update on the library's computers, Mr Blowers was having trouble logging on to a site he uses regularly, where he books a Yorkshire cottage for holidays. I went over to see if I could help, thinking initially that it might be something to do with the update.
"Mr Blowers could not remember the exact web address of the holiday cottage so was trying to access the site through Google.
By clicking on the link from the Google webpage, the holiday cottage webpage appeared but in the address bar there was an unknown address ending with .ru, not .co.uk or .com as expected.
"I queried that with Mr Blowers who straight away said that it was not the web address for the holiday cottage. He rang the owner of the holiday cottage site, who then tried to access her own site and the same thing happened. It was apparent that a Russian site had hacked into the holiday cottage site."
Following Mr Blowers' phone call, the holiday cottage owner then contacted BT and Google immediately, who have investigated and confirmed that the Russian site was able to view all personal details and bank details of everyone booking a holiday through the website online.
Mrs Bedwell added: "The owner was then able to contact all her recent contacts to ensure that their bank accounts and credit cards had not been cloned."
Mr Blowers believes had it not been for Mrs Bedwell and the technology on the library computers then the scam would not have been picked up as quickly as it was.
He said: "Nicky uncovered a large scale internet scam and saved a friend of ours a great deal of money and embarrassment. Through her sussing this out so quickly, I was able to alert the person concerned, get the facts checked and allow preventative action.
"This scam was being worked on several other sites as well, so Nicky's quick action saved the day."
Mrs Bedwell added: "I think that library staff are very aware of the potential for internet scams and hacking, and I was just very pleased to help a customer and potentially save a lot of people a lot of expense and heartache."

Conflicting reports on health of Lil Wayne
Rapper tweets he's OK
LOS ANGELES - Rapper Lil Wayne was in intensive care Friday after suffering more unexplained seizures, according to celebrity gossip website TMZ.com.
The report was disputed by a close friend of Wayne, and later, Wayne himself.
The 30-year-old was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles earlier this week after collapsing while filming the music video for Nicki Minaj's new single, 'High School'.
Doctors released him on Wednesday but then one of his bodyguards found him unconscious of the floor, gossip website TMZ.com reported.
Wayne was placed in a medically-induced coma in intensive care, according to TMZ. His condition was reported as "unstable" and his mother was said to be flying to his side.
The TMZ report was disputed by Wayne's artist and Young Money President Mack Maine who tweeted, "dont believe the nonsense about comas and tubes to breathe…that's false!!"
He also said, "We (are) watching the Syracuse (basketball) game...thanks for the prayers and concern..he will update you all soon."
Update: A later tweet on Lil Wayne's Twitter page said, "I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love."

I loved the iridescent color, It's virtual fairy dust! Makes me wanna run out and buy some metallic leather purse, lol! I think it clings to the skin better with a moist applicator. My only problem with it was the container: I had to ask Mr. Hopkins to pry the plastic "stopper" off it with some tweezers so I have better access to the magic :)
This is a shimmery, coppery pink. It's a very pretty colour and it smells like a creamy cafe latte. This is my least favourite because the texture is gritty, unlike Golden Honey and Strawberry Kiss. I mix it with clear lipgloss and try not to rub my lips together because of the grittiness.
This powder is very sparkly and shimmery. I have the cotton candy/pink one and this is way more sparklier than that one. When I apply it with a wet eyeshadow brush, it almost looks metallic. This is a beautiful light peachy pink color. When I actually tasted it, it tasted more like a sugar waffle cone. Will buy again.
I really love this stuff! I use it on my cheeks and over my eyeshadow for that extra glow. IMO it is better than Revlon Skinlights in terms of visibility and shine, although it is tougher than Skinlights to blend it for a natural look. I do not like the packaging, hopefully they will improve that. Even so, I know I will find myself shortly purchasing every colour this comes in! (Also didn't even realise this was edible until I read it here on MUA!)

A native of Columbus, where he was a sophomore reserve on Bill Stearman's No. 1-ranked 1964 team that was unbeaten until the state semifinals, McKinney was a 25-year head coach, with a record of 415-168. The last 17 of those head-coaching years were at Bloomington North, where his teams won nine sectionals, two regionals, and two semi-states. His 1999-2000 team, which included current NBA players Jared Jeffries and Sean May, was undefeated until losing to Marion (and NBA star Zach Randolph) in the 4A championship game. McKinney coached five other Indiana All-Stars (Jeffries and May each was "Mr. Basketball"). He retired as North coach in 2004.
The Bloomington North Athletic Department recognized him at a boys varsity basketball game.

Following are HELPFUL HINTS and suggestions to help ease planning and ensure a great time!
SELECT THE CO-CHAIRPERSONS Committee:
Try to include at least three members of the group, to take on the responsibilities of event chairpersons and treasurer, to sign all contracts and bank accounts. Class Officers are not historically the ones who keep class reunions going, it is local classmates who have the interest. Never allow one person to control all contracts and accounts.
SELECT SUB-COMMITTEES for other individual jobs:
Location arrangements, reservations, food, decorations, printed program, speakers, entertainment, invitations, photography, accommodations, publicity chairman, memory book chairman, name tags and awards.
DECIDE DATE and PLACE:
It is important to select the date and place early - at least a year or 18 months in advance, depending on the place and type of event. Consider "fun" dates such as Homecoming or North vs South games. Most CONTRACTS must be signed one year in advance.
Contact BHSN ALUMNI to inquire if we have your class list. Return the updated list after the reunion event, for safekeeping. We do not share information.
SET a PRELIMINARY BUDGET, taking into consideration cost of:
Bar, centerpieces, entertainment, food, gifts, invitation postage and printing, location, nametags, pictures, prizes, room size, speakers, tables, videos.
Determine a creative way to make money for the event, consider a silent auction, sell tickets to win Tee shirts, ask everybody to pitch in, ask parents of classmates with businesses to sponsor, or sell Ad space in printed program at $25 per business card Ad.
Make a time line of necessary steps and tasks, including making site reservations, dates for printing and mailing, making nametags and setting up for the event.
Offering activities to accommodate families may ensure a better turnout. If an overnight stay is planned, try to arrange for group rates at a local hotel or motel. Consider arranging for babysitting service.
Be creative when planning. The possibilities are endless! Have a theme, display memorabilia, conduct a silent auction and use the proceeds to benefit the reunion, or present awards or assemble a songbook.
COMMUNICATION IS KEY. Give as much information as possible in each mailing to build interest. Request help in locating members of the reunion group. List members found or planning to attend to build excitement. Invite members their significant others and/or families.
Send the invitation at least eight to sixteen weeks in advance. Be sure to include: the final response date necessary to confirm attendance, cost, hotel/motel information, mention any special guests or if babysitting is available.

Important Information >>
By Bill Hylton
Sometimes, less really is more. Take router tables for instance. It's not at all difficult to ring up a big tab for a manufactured router table, complete with a new router, loaded with convenience, durability, adjustability and precision. But to me, the compelling thing about a router table is that it converts a portable power tool into a stationary power tool and thus expands its utility and versatility.
A router table can be simple and quite inexpensive to make without sacrificing functionality. A basic table can be just as versatile, accurate and easy to use as one of those grandees but cost far less.
I just finished making a $100 router table (excluding the router). I bought most of the materials and hardware at a local home center. There's no router mounting plate to buy; the router attaches directly to the hinged top.
Despite the low cost, this is no bare bones router table. It's packed with great features: an easy-to-adjust zero-clearance fence with sacrificial faces, an offset router mounting that allows you to use more of the table for work support, table inserts to accommodate different bit sizes, a tilt-top for easy access to the router and quick bit changes (even with a plunge router), and built-in dust collection.
Of course there's a host of possible enhancements to the basic $100 router table including enhanced dust collection below the table, a front-mounted switch, and even bit storage. All these add-ons are covered at the end of the article.
1. Cut the leg blanks (E, Fig. A) oversize from 2x6 lumber that's been seasoned in your shop for two weeks or more.
2. Cut 3-degree compound miters on the tops and bottoms of the legs. All the cuts are made with the head tilted 3-degrees. Divide the legs into 2-pairs consisting of one front and one back leg.
3. Cut the plywood panels (F-H). First, crosscut a 30-3/4-in. piece from a sheet of plywood. Rip it into a 19-in.-wide piece for the bottom, a 13-in. wide piece for the back apron, and a 16-in.-wide piece for the side aprons. Crosscut the side-aprons piece in half. 4. Tilt the tablesaw blade 3-degrees and cut a bevel on all four edges of the bottom panel, reducing it to its final length and 1/8-in. shy of its final width. 5. Glue a strip of solid wood (J) to the front edge of the bottom panel. Trim flush after the glue's dried. 6. Return the tablesaw blade to 90-degrees and set the miter gauge to 3-degrees. Cut the tapered ends on the side and back panels. 7. Lay out marks for biscuit slots on the ends of the side and back aprons. Align the legs with the aprons and transfer the marks. 8. Lay out biscuit slots on the bottom shelf and transfer them to the bottom edge of the aprons. 9. Cut the biscuit slots. Set the joiner's fence to 87-degrees to slot the beveled edges of the bottom panel. 10. Glue and clamp the two side assemblies together (Photo 1) as well as the back and bottom panel assembly. 11. Join the two leg assemblies to the back and bottom panel assembly (Photo 2). Use masking tape to attach the tapered scraps from the panels to the legs so clamps will have parallel bearing surfaces.
12. Cut the tabletop panel (A). Chamfer all four edges, top and bottom, to minimize chipping.
13. Lay out the bit hole location on the top (Fig. A.). Install a V-groove bit and park the router with the bit on the penciled crosshair. Orient the router exactly the way you want it—handles side-to-side, front-to-back, or on a diagonal. Mark the center points for the mounting screws (Photo 3). 14. Drill and countersink the mounting holes in the top. Mount the router to the tabletop. 15. Cut the support frame parts (B, C and D). Cut rabbets in the ends of the front and back pieces. 16. Dry assemble the frame on the tabletop. Use your router base to determine the spacing between the stretchers. Lay out the dadoes and rabbets in the front and back frame members as well as the cutout in the front. 17. Machine the front and back rails. Then assemble the frame on a surface you know is flat. 18. Drill 1/4-in. holes though the frame edges. Set the frame on the tabletop and transfer the hole locations to the tabletop (Photo 4). 19. Drill and tap stopped holes in the MDF for 1/4" - 20 machine screws (Photo 5). Threaded MDF has better holding power than wood screws driven into pilot holes. 20. Mount the tabletop to the frame (Photo 6). You could glue the frame, but if you ever changed routers, you'd need to build a new top. 21. Drill the holes for the hinge bolts in the frame (Photo 7, Fig. A). Cut threads in the rest bolt holes for 1/4" - 20 bolts. 22. Set the top on the stand. Use shims between the top edge of the stand and the MDF top. This keeps the top floating above the stand so all the weight from the top is carried by the framework underneath. 23. Transfer the hinge bolt holes from the top frame to the back legs of the stand. Drill the hinge-bolt holes through the back legs (Photo 8). Install the hinge bolts and rest bolts. 24. Mount the stay to hold the top open (Photo 9 and 10).
25. Cut the fence base (K) and fixed face (L). 26. Cut the bit opening in the two fence pieces with a Forstner bit or a holesaw. From the near edge, saw into the hole, transforming it into a U-shaped notch. 27. Assemble the base and fence. Glue the edge of the base to the upright's face (Photo 11). 28. Round off the outside corners at the ends of the fence face and base on a bandsaw, then sand smooth. 29. Cut and glue-laminate scraps of hardwood to form the dust-pickup block (N). 30. Bore a 2-1/4-in. hole through the block (Photo 12). 31. On the bandsaw, cut a U-shaped hole and the outside profile of the block. Sand the sawed surface smooth. 32. Cut the dust pickup's cap (P). Bore a hole to fit your dust collector hose. Glue the cap to the dust pickup and the pickup to the fence (Photo 13). 33. Square the face of the fence to the base on a jointer (Photo 14). 34. Lay out the two clamp jaws on some scrap (Q) (Fig. A, Detail 1) and cut on the bandsaw. Sand the faces and edges. 35. Lay out and drill mounting bolt holes in the fence base and the clamp jaws (Fig. A). 36. Drive a round head or pan head screw into the clamp jaws near the bolt hole to act as an alignment screw. Drill oversize holes for the bolts in the fence base and add a shallow hole to house the alignment screw head (Photo 15). 37. Make the sliding facings (M) from pieces of leftover MDF. Cut faces to size, then use your new router table to rout stopped slots for the mounting bolts (Photo 16). 38. Drill mounting holes for the adjustable facings in the fence (Fig. A). 39. Use your largest bit to rout the opening in the tabletop. Cut a narrow rabbet around the opening, so its depth matches the thickness of the material you use for the inserts. 40. Cut one insert that fits nice and snug, and use it as a pattern for routing out a half-dozen more. When you put a hole in an insert, label its diameter.
Below-The-Table Dust Collection Captures Fugitive Dust:
Capturing all the chips and dust generated by router-table operations is a tough proposition. A fence-mounted pickup is important, but without a pickup under the table, a lot of the dust will escape capture.
You can use the support frame's stretchers as the basis of a very effective dust chute. Make a two-piece cover from scraps of MDF or plywood. Insert rounded baffles to close off corners where dust gets trapped. Fit the caps as close as possible around the router base and drill a hole for a dust-hose connector (Left Photo).
Extend a hose from this under-the-table channel and splice it into the hose from the fence-mounted pickup with a wye fitting. Leave enough slack in the hose to permit tilting the tabletop (Right Photo).
External Switch Adds Safety and Convenience:
Powering up a table-mounted router with the router switch is usually a nuisance. And many of us are uneasy about fumbling for an out-of-sight switch in an emergency. So a front-mounted switch is a worthwhile addition to any router table (see Sources). I wired the switch to an extension cord. The cord wrap is made from hardwood scraps.
Convenient Onboard Bit Storage:
Bit storage is a practical addition to the table, and there's enough plywood left to construct a small box for two or three drawers. The drawer fronts require an additional 4-ft. piece of 1-in. x 4-in. oak. The drawer bottoms are 1/4-in. plywood and are cut wide enough to fit in slots cut in the box sides.
Two drawers have the bottoms drilled for 1/2-in. and 1/4-in. shank bits; together they'll accommodate about 80 bits. The top drawer holds wrenches, collets, bit-opening inserts, and other accessories. It is exposed when the tabletop is tilted up for easy access during bit changes.

The cutout at the front of the support frame provides better access to the router when the top is down.
With the tabletop tilted up, it's easy to pop open the base clamp and pull the motor to change bits.
Dust collection is built-in to the fence and can be added under the table.
Integral clamps stay with the fence, yet allow it to be adjusted one end at a time. Big plastic wing nuts are easy on the fingers.
Adjustable fence faces are counterbored on both sides giving you four faces that can be turned over as the ends get chewed up.
An offset router location puts the router close to you for the lion's share of router-table operations.
Flip the fence around to the back side of the top for a big offset. The extra support is ideal for panel raising.
Shop-made reducers improve the safety of your router table at virtually no cost.
1. Glue and clamp the two side assemblies. Use the offcuts from tapering the aprons as cauls so the clamps have parallel surfaces to address.
2. Glue and clamp the side assemblies to the back apron and bottom shelf. Use the tapered cauls to keep the clamps from slipping as they're tightened.
3. Mark the locations of the router mounting screws on the top with a transfer punch—a.k.a. a spotter.
4. Transfer the mounting-bolt holes in the framework to the MDF top using a transfer punch.
5. Cut threads in the top with a 1/4"-20 tap. Use a 13/64-in. bit to drill a 5/8-in. deep stopped hole at each mark, first. Make sure you clear all the chips from the holes. Then turn the tap into the hole until it bottoms out.
6. Reposition the frame on the tabletop and fasten it with 1/4"-20 flathead machine screws. I used seven 3-in.- long screws in the perimeter frame members and two 2-in.- long screws in the stretchers.
7. Lay out and drill the two 3/8-in. hinge-bolt holes in the frame. Clamp a backup scrap to the inside of the frame to prevent blowout.
8. Drill hinge holes through the back legs. Tape 3/4-in. shims to the top edges of the stand and rest the tabletop on them. Use a transfer punch to mark the hinge-bolt hole locations on the back legs, then drill.
9. Mount the folding stay to the stand first. Measure down 1-in. from the stand's top edge and scribe a line. Hold the folded stay on the line so it clears the front leg and mark the screw location.
10. Attach the stay to the top. Hold the stay in position with a clamp. You decide the degree of tilt that suits you.
11. Glue and clamp the base and fixed face together.
12. Bore a 2-1/4-in. hole through the dust pickup housing block with a Forstner bit or holesaw.
13. Glue and clamp the dust pickup to the fence. Tape scrap across the openings in the face to provide a bearing surface for the clamps.
14. Joint the glued-up fence to square the face to the base. Joint the base surface first to flatten it, then joint the fence face with the base against the jointer fence.
15. Drill a stopped hole in the fence base that will hold the alignment screwhead and keep the clamp block aligned perpendicular to the tabletop. To mark the hole, tighten the clamp block in place so the alignment screw- head dents the base.
16. Use the fence to cut the countersunk grooves in the adjustable faces.
Very nice indeed.This is definately one that i will have a go at as a second table, mainly for use with my dovetail jig that has to be used on a flat surface similar to the "Gifkins" dovetail jig.

Outstanding Experience
This is a beautiful property that easily accomodated 14 adults and 2 kids. House is gorgeous and extremely well-stocked, with nice linens, kitchen needs (2 refrigerators), shower supplies, and tons of toys for the kids to play with. Flat Screens in every room (including a large screen in living room). Perfect place for our annual VT Super Bowl / Ski Trip. Approx 20 minutes to Killington Base Lodge. Long Trail Brewing Co. is approx 2 miles up the road.
Joan was great to work with, very responsive and accomodating. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and will consider it for future ski trips. Excellent experience from beginning to end.
Great ski weekend away, such a beautiful home!
We came up for a ski weekend during the end of January. We had an excellent time in the home that boasts a very spacious and relaxing setting for a getaway. Lisa, the owner, was very accessible via both e-mail and cell phone, and always made herself available when I reached out to her.
The house itself held 4 couple very comfortable, as we each had our own room. The Master suite is gorgeous and the bathroom is excellent. It is easy to see that a lot of time and effort has gone into maintaining the house to ensure that each and every guest who arrives has the best possible time. Lisa posts notes around the house with instructions on how to safely operate certain things, making it very easy for guests to navigate around the home.
Upon arrival, the house was already stocked with towels, toilet paper, coffee, dish soap, etc., allowing us to enjoy our time there instead of running out for supplies that you would never remember to bring on a vacation in the first place. It also gave us peace of mind to know that the hot tub is cleaned after every use.
Our group is anxious to go up there again, hopefully in the summer. The 2 porches have plenty of room on them, it was too bad it snowed that weekend and was 5 degrees outside. Otherwise, they provide an unbelievable view of the lake and would be great during the summer months.
It took us 25 to 30 minutes to get to Killington from the house in snowy conditions, and the house is also located just 3 miles from Okemo.
Great job to the Smith family, our entire group had an absolute blast!
