Richmond Owed $39M In Delinquent Taxes, Fines
by AP
posted Mar 12 2013 9:05AM
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Richmond officials are stepping up efforts to collect delinquent taxes and fines totaling more than $39 million.
A recent report says there were 162,130 delinquent accounts as of January. They include more than $19 million in personal property taxes and about $16 million in real estate taxes.
Richmond spokesman Mike Wallace tells the
Richmond Times-Dispatch
that the city and two collection agencies it hired are working to collect the delinquent accounts. He says city officials believe many of these accounts will be collected.
An audit released last year criticized the city's Finance Department for uncollected personal property taxes. And, residents were upset when the city mailed out thousands of incorrectly inflated personal property tax bills.

Although I will probably never coat film (my times in a wet darkroom can be counted easily on your fingers) I find threads like this fascinating.
What impresses me is that while many attempts to coat film or paper seem to result in so-so quality at best, this magic machine seems to be at least an attempt to get a reasonable degree of quality and consistency.
Even before you mentioned Kodachrome, when I saw the remarks about different layers being coated, I thought "Color, maybe?"
What impressed me most about this thread and this magic machine is that maybe a few companies whose business is dwindling don't have the strangle-hold on film use that we think they have!

A revelatory exploration of the hottest trend in technology and the dramatic impact it will have on the economy, science, and society at large.
Which paint color is most likely to tell you that a used car is in good shape? How can officials identify the most dangerous New York City manholes before they explode? And how did Google searches predict the spread of the H1N1 flu outbreak?
The key to answering these questions, and many more, is big data. "Big data" refers to our burgeoning ability to crunch vast collections of information, analyze it instantly, and draw sometimes profoundly surprising conclusions from it. This emerging science can translate myriad phenomena—from the price of airline tickets to the text of millions of books—into searchable form, and uses our increasing computing power to unearth epiphanies that we never could have seen before. A revolution on par with the Internet or perhaps even the printing press, big data will change the way we think about business, health, politics, education, and innovation in the years to come. It also poses fresh threats, from the inevitable end of privacy as we know it to the prospect of being penalized for things we haven't even done yet, based on big data's ability to predict our future behavior.
In this brilliantly clear, often surprising work, two leading experts explain what big data is, how it will change our lives, and what we can do to protect ourselves from its hazards. Big Data is the first big book about the next big thing.
"This brilliant book cuts through the mystery and the hype surrounding big data.
A must-read for anyone in business, information technology, public policy, intelligence, and medicine. And anyone else who is just plain curious about the future."
—John Seely Brown, former Chief Scientist, Xerox Corp., and head of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center
"Big Data breaks new ground in identifying how today's avalanche of information fundamentally shifts our basic understanding of the world. Argued boldly and written beautifully, the book clearly shows how companies can unlock value, how policymakers need to be on guard, and how everyone's cognitive models need to change."
—Joi Ito, Director of the MIT Media Lab
"Big Data is a must-read for anyone who wants to stay ahead of one of the key trends defining the future of business."
—Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO, salesforce.com
"An optimistic and practical look at the Big Data revolution — just the thing to get your head around the big changes already underway and the bigger changes to come."
—Cory Doctorow, boingboing.com
"Just as water is wet in a way that individual water molecules aren't, big data can reveal information in a way that individual bits of data can't. The authors show us the surprising ways that enormous, complex, and messy collections of data can be used to predict everything from shopping patterns to flu outbreaks."
—Clay Shirky, author of Cognitive Surplus and Here Comes Everybody
"The book teems with great insights on the new ways of harnessing information, and offers a convincing vision of the future. It is essential reading for anyone who uses — or is affected by — big data."
—Jeff Jonas, IBM Fellow & Chief Scientist, IBM Entity Analytics
"What I'm certain about is that Big Data will be the defining text in the discussion for some time to come."
"The authors make clear that 'big data' is much more than a Silicon Valley buzzword… No other book offers such an accessible and balanced tour of the many benefits and downsides of our continuing infatuation with data."
—Wall Street Journal
"Plenty of books extol the technical marvels of our information society, but this is an original analysis of the information itself—trillions of searches, calls, clicks, queries and purchases....A fascinating, enthusiastic view of the possibilities of vast computer correlations and the entrepreneurs who are taking advantage of them."
—STARRED Kirkus Reviews
"This book offers important insights and information"
"'big data' [is] one of the buzzwords of corporate executives, tech-savvy politicians, and worried civil libertarians. If you want to know what they're all talking about, then Big Data is the book for you, a comprehensive and entertaining introduction to a very large topic....Mayer-Schönberger and Cukier offer up some sensible suggestions on how we can have the blessings of big data and our freedoms, too. Just as well; their lively book leaves no doubt that big data's growth spurt is just beginning."
—Boston Globe

*A full executive summary of this book will be available at newbooksinbrief dot com, on or before Monday, March 18, 2013.
The main argument: Statistical information, or data, has long been recognized to be a potentially rich and valuable source of knowledge. Until recently, however, our ability to render phenomena and events in a quantified format, store this information, and analyze it has been severely limited. With the rise of the digital age, though, these limitations are quickly being eroded. To begin with, digital devices that record our movements and communications, and digital sensors that record the behavior of inanimate objects and systems have become widespread and are proliferating wildly. What's more, the cost of storing this information on computer servers is getting cheaper and cheaper, thus allowing us to store much more of it than ever before. Finally, increasingly sophisticated computer algorithms are allowing us to analyze this information more deeply than ever, and are revealing interesting (and often counter-intuitive) relationships that would never have been possible previously. The increasing datification of the world, and the insights that this is bringing us, may be thought of as one grand phenomenon, and it has a name: Big Data.
The insights that are emerging out of Big Data are spread out over many areas, and are already affecting several aspects of society. For example, Big Data is allowing established businesses to be run more efficiently and safely, and as is also allowing for new business opportunities that were never possible before. Meanwhile, Big Data is being used by governments to help reduce costs and make society safer.
While Big Data may already be bringing us impressive benefits, Mayer-Schonberger and Cukier argue that the bulk of the benefits are yet to come. Indeed, for the authors, businesses and governments are only just now waking up to the incredible potential of Big Data. And as they direct more attention to recording and analyzing data streams, the potential uses of the information will only multiply.
On the negative side, while Big Data may have enormous potential benefits, it also carries substantial potential dangers. Most notably, as more and more information about us is recorded, kept and used, our privacy is increasingly threatened. For the authors, a good deal of oversight will be needed in order to ensure that the potential abuses of Big Data are curbed.
The book is well written and represents a fine overview of the present and future of Big Data. Also, the authors do well to raise important big-picture issues related to the phenomena, though the potential impacts (both positive and negative) are occasionally overblown. All in all the book is a good introduction to an important and interesting topic. A full executive summary of the book will be available at newbooksinbrief dot com, on or before Monday, March 18; a podcast discussion of the book will be available shortly thereafter.

For the reader that has heard about "big data" and wants an easy read, I would recommend this book. I found it helpful in providing a well rounded
description of what big data is, the positives and negatives of big data, and especially liked the historical examples. It was fascinating to this reader, again to learn that all that separate our distant ancestors with today's society is the level of technology we rely on. Their out of the box reflection is still enduring today, just as innovative, just working within a more primative environment.

This book is a high-altitude view of big data, and has many interesting examples. Most people will find something surprising here, and it will certainly make you think about the many ways our culture and style of living encourages big data, and its collection and use. Part of the book discusses using heaps of anonymous data to discern public trends. It also discusses using personally identifiable data to make assumptions about individuals. This is a very non-technical book; there is nothing about how data analytics works or what an analyst does. For me, these topics could have replaced some of the repetitive examples. The difficult issues of ethics, privacy, legality, and security of big data are only lightly considered. The gist of the book is America-centric, and doesn't go into issues that might arise globally. Overall, it's a good read and a good way to get you thinking about the many aspects of big data.

An email sent from B & N is a perfect example of Big Data. Welcome to the technological world we're racing into. As a culture, we've been trying to collect data for decades, if not longer, but now figuring out how to use so much of it to our advantage...and come to a point were we can collect much more of it and save it so cheaply. The data from my activity on this site, anywhere on the internet plus some is being saved. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, but get used to it. We're now in a time where data/knowledge is an asset to be put on the books. As far as this read, the book is all technical, historical, & theoretical rolled into one. I've enjoyed it, and would recomend it to anyone to get an idea of where things are heading. If anything, use the information given as model by which to view the world in context. Take it or leave it...whether you think you are being spied upon, or just seen as a discrete number/address are your own feelings...but all in all it seems like there's a much richer knowledge of our society in general to be gained over time with all this data in hand.

Plants can take the heat.
It comes as no surprise that plants differ in their ability to tolerate dry weather conditions. As you know, individual plants exhibit widely differing susceptibilities and tolerances for each of the factors governing growth. Some plants love to grow in ground that is soggy. We refer to them as "bog plants." Most plants cannot tolerate wet feet. Some plants demand the sun; others hide in the shade.
We have plants that survive salty soils, ones that are cold-hardy, and still more that prefer a deep rich loamy soil where their roots can run far and wide. The plants can be trees, shrubs, vines, vegetables, annuals, or perennials. That plants differ widely in their tolerances is understandable when we consider that each has originated in a distinct geophysical region of Earth.
Currently, our area is experiencing a drought. The prolonged dry spell has stressed plants. Yet, it is easily seen that some plants (including many weeds) are displaying few indications of water restriction. Likely, these plants are genetically equipped to function in a drought, perhaps because they originated in dry areas of the world.
The good news is that numbers of ornamentals also contain a genetic capability to cope with dry conditions. When considering drought-tolerant perennials, the sedums come to mind. From Sedum Golden Acre - that grows only an inch or so high but spreads nicely - to the overused but still spectacular Sedum Autumn Joy that tops off at 18-24 inches, the sedum group has something for everyone who has a sun-drenched spot. All the Sedum spuriums such as Dragon's Blood, John Creech and Tricolor are rapid-growing groundcovers. Sedum sieboldi is a choice blue-leaved, prostrate-stemmed, rosy flowering plant to be placed in a location of honor. Voodoo, Kamtschaticum variegata, Vera Jameson and a dozen other sedums would luxuriate on, between, and over rocks.
While you may be familiar with only one or two forms of Hens and Chickens, Sempervivums, most nurseries will offer a half-dozen different kinds - and specialists list 60 variant forms, from huge to tiny cobwebbed. A visit to Garden In The Woods will allow you to view several cacti that are hardy in New England, flowering and fruit-setting reliably in our area.
To enlarge your planting palette, think gray foliage plants. Stachys Big Ears and Silver Carpet both have woolly, silver-white leaves. Hummelo has dark green foliage and a cluster of rose-lavender, long-blooming, deer-resistant, 2-foot tall plants. The lavenders, sages, sea hollies, several to most of the Nepetas (catmints), Artemisias, and, naturally, the Achilleas-like Coronation Gold are all easy to maintain.
You also need to look at the early spring-flowering plants as their growth is completed before normal droughts hit us. Include our natives, as many laugh at drought (think aster, goldenrod and daisies), and do not forget plants that grow from bulbs - both spring blooming and those that are summer flowering.
Is the list of drought-tolerant plants long? Yes, it is as long as the world is round.

J.J. Hickson of the Portland Trail Blazers had quite the unexpected reaction following a pass he had on Thursday night when his team took on the Miami Heat. Hickson threw a pass to teammate Sasha Pavlović, but the ball sailed an easy 3-5 feet over his head and definitely out of his reach. As Sasha sat there wondering why the pass was so bad, Hickson stared at him in disbelief that he didn't catch the pass. I honestly think that somehow Hickson legitimately thought Sasha should have been three-feet taller. [@CJzero] Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

Student Life in NYC
Many Cultures, One Vision
Posted by Cezanne.Perez on Friday March 14, 2014
On Wednesday, March 12th, students from all over the world met to celebrate Multicultural Day at Nyack NYC! Student representatives from Guyana, Haiti, India, Dominican Republic, and elsewhere sampled local cuisine and shared stories and songs from their home countries.
The evening opened with a prayer in three separate languages from Lindza Lubin, Rolando Rosales, and Tryphena Ramcharitar. The Christian Art and Media Club brought their watercolors to paint at the event, while others played games. It was an amazing evening to see many cultures unified under the vision of Jesus Christ. We're looking forward to hosting this event again next year!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will reportedly be trying for another baby on their upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand.
A close pal of the couple, who are parents to seven-month-old Prince George, told the Daily Star that William and Kate have made no secret of the fact they'd like three children and don't see any point in waiting.
The source asserted that Kate's just turned 32 and wants all her babies over and done with before she is 35.
The insider added that the couple's trip Down Under is going to be a bit of a second honeymoon for them and they are hoping for a girl next.

Promotional license plate frames are a great way to market your business, and are an easy and affordable item to produce. By offering giveaway license plate frames to customers, you can provide them with a free gift that they can actually use, and that will also help to further market your company's name.
When you're giving away a free gift to your customers, it's important to find a product that they can use and that will not simply get tossed aside or thrown away after they receive it. Logo license plate frames are a great marketing strategy, because customers will benefit from having a license plate frame to put on their car. Customers will appreciate the free product, and will also recognize the creative aspect of your gift, as many companies simply give away pens and keyrings. Instead of offering customers a knick-knack item that will only create more clutter in their homes, they can put Promotional license plate frames to use as soon as they receive them.
Additionally, custom license plate frames are a great way to continue marketing your business to a larger audience. When your customers drive around with printed license plate frames that feature your business name, logo, or model, other potential customers will get used to seeing your name around town. The more that other customers begin to see your logo license plate frames, whether a car is sitting in front of them in traffic, parked next to them at the mall, or even in their neighbor's driveway, they will begin to recognize your brand and name. When it comes time for them to consider using your business, they will be more likely to choose your company after seeing the name effectively endorsed by their friends, family, and other consumers.
Giveaway license frames are one of the best incentives you can offer your customers, as you will provide them with a valuable gift that they can put to use, and that will also continue to help your company. Promotional license plate frames can become something of a double marketing strategy for your company, as you are able to reap the benefits of the advertisement twice. Your customers will initially receive your company's message when you offer them the license plate frame, and then future customers will take note of your company's name and logo when they see the license plate frames out and around town.

Sir Archibald Alison, 1st Baronet GCB FRSE (29 December 1792 – 23 May 1867) was a Scottish advocate and historian. He held several prominent legal appointments. He was the younger son of the Episcopalian cleric and author Archibald Alison. His elder brother was the physician and social reformer William Alison.
He was born at the parsonage at Kenley, Shropshire, to the Rev. Archibald Alison and his wife Dorothea Gregory, daughter of Prof John Gregory, and granddaughter of James Forbes, 17th Lord Forbes.[1] In 1800 his parents moved the family back to Edinburgh, as his father thought that he could give his sons a better education and more independent careers in Scotland.[2]
After studying under a private tutor, and at the University of Edinburgh, he was, in 1814, admitted to the Faculty of Advocates, at which he ultimately attained some distinction, becoming in 1834 Sheriff of Lanarkshire. In 1853, he received a Honorary Doctorate of Civil Law by the University of Oxford.[1]
When travelling in France in 1814 he conceived the idea of his expansive History of Europe from the commencement of the French revolution to the restoration of the Bourbons. This multi-volume set is usually regarded as Alison's chief historical work and is considered to be the first scholarly English-language study of the French Revolution.[3] Published in ten volumes between 1833 and 1843, History of Europe was revised and reprinted many times throughout the century, including numerous foreign language editions.[3] The work is one of vast industry, "contain[ing] a wealth of information communicated in a vigorous though wordy style."[3]
Disraeli satirises the author in Coningsby as Mr. Wordy, who wrote a history to prove that Providence was on the side of the Tories. Such criticism notwithstanding, History of Europe proved to be a huge commercial success.[3] Alison also composed a comprehensive survey of the military campaigns of the Duke of Marlborough, as well as two standard works on the criminal law of Scotland.
He was elected Lord Rector successively of Marischal College, Aberdeen, and of the University of Glasgow. In 1852 he was created a baronet, during Lord Derby's administration.
Family and death[edit]
In 1825, he married Elizabeth Glencairn, the daughter of Patrick Tytler; the children from the marriage were Archibald, Frederick and Eliza Frances Catherine. Both sons became distinguished British officers. The 1st Baronet's autobiography was published in 1883; his portrait was painted by Robert Scott Lauder.
Alison died at Possil House, Glasgow, at the age of 74, and was interred in Dean Cemetery, Edinburgh.[4] His grave lies amid the "Lord's Row" against the western wall, and is modest in comparison to most in this section.
He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his elder son, Sir Archibald Alison, 2nd Baronet.

The snow melted over night here and it's been alot milder today.
Got mine Gardengirl. Only sent mine to you today though, took them to work two days on the trot meaning to post them but didn't get chance to go out at lunch time, it was too cold to go out again last night so I've put in some extra seeds by way of a sorry, hope you like them.
If sowing strawberry seeds you can leave it as late as May and June although on most packets it says sow Autumn and Spring, sowing later still produces plants large and strong enough to get through the winter to fruit the following year.
It depends what type of strawberries you want. It's easier to buy plants but I found little choice when doing this, you can buy your usual garden varities but can grow some fabulous tasting alpine strawberries from seed, an acquired taste. Alpine are alot smaller but seem to produce fruit all summer but they don't produce runners. They come in different colours too...I'll have red, white and yellow this year.
The plant you get this year will probably just be foliage and a few buds, wouldn't go as far as saying it's a nice looking plant. You'll also get some die back on the leaves which can be removed without damaging the plant.
One or two plants aren't going to produce many stawberries either, you need at least a dozen or more plants. If you have a variety which produces runners, they can be planted in hanging baskets as the runners will hang down and these will produce fruit next year along with the mother plant. Keep the baskets well watered.
May have got this really wrong but I was making a wormery for the liquid feed it produces can't imagine one would make heaps of compost...
Green Magpie. Sounds like Maskotka are worth a try this year.
Slightly off topic, as these toms haven't yet been grown or tasted...I've also a french tom variety, called cerise, brought back from holiday last year. From my limited French, after reading the distructions and looking at the pictures on the packet it looks like a cherry variety which grows on a vine and in France can be sown out doors although I'd be looking to grow in GH. Has anyone tried these...
After last years experience I've saved a full darlek of compost to mix with bought compost this year.
I'd advise, if you aren't sure the compost is of good quality when purchasing, to ask if you can see the contents first before buying. If the supplier is confident it is good stuff they shouldn't object to the bag being split, providing you buy it or provide a good reason for not buying it.
After all, what else would you buy without seeing first probably going to be inundated now with stuff people buy which they don't see first
A light covering of snow here in the NW, we seem to have escaped the worst but it's
-1 tonight and snow forecast for the weekend. Swept the paths back and front this evening.
Did anyone try Maskotka last year and if so how do you rate them, I've some seeds but didn't sow them. .
My GH is mounted on paving. Inside it's paved on one side, with a gravel path down the centre and a bed to the other side. There's ample room at the top and near the door to have plants growing in buckets either side of the bed on the paving.
The paved side means I can have a potting bench the length of the GH, which stands on a hard surface and can store pots underneath. At the height of the growing season the bench houses pots of low growing veg like chillies, peppers and aubergines.
I grow direct in the bed and the soil does need to be changed although I also grow in bottomless pots so just change the top few inches. Never had a problem with pests getting into the GH through the bed but as blairs pointed out GH does get damp over winter, hadn't realised it was the soil causing the damp and this could be a problem if your GH is made from wood.
There was an article last year in The GW mag telling you how to make a wormery, didn't look that difficult.
It's one of my projects for this year. I've three polystirene freezer box's, free from a local nursery, didn't get round to making one last year and by October decided it was too late to try.

Ok so, I took a digital tests (twice) and they both came back saying pregnant. That was Friday & Saturday. Today I took a non-digital test (not with FMU and I actually had very little urine) and the line was only there if I looked really hard. Is this because I didn't do my test with FMU? Or should I be worried?

Picking up right where they left off last fall, the Manchester High School and Junior High cross-country teams, affectionately known as the "Dog Pack", turned in an impressive performance in their first outings of the 2014 campaign. Battling hornets and heat, the teams traveled to Chatfield College to compete in the 2014 Fayetteville Invitational and came back to Adams County with quite a bit of hardware.
In the high school races, both the Manchester boys and girls captured first place team finishes, and in junior high action, the Manchester girls grabbed second place overall.
In that junior high girls race, the Lady Hounds placed three runners in the top 10, paced by seventh grader Taylor Morrisson who placed fourth in a time of 16:42.05. Eighth grader McKenzie Smith was seventh overall out of the 26 runners, crossing with a finish time of 17:12.69. Seventh grader Caymden Hughes was 10th in the race with a time of 17:46.69. Rounding out the Lady Hounds' runners were Alexus Barlow (12th) and Kenzie Bell (17th). As a team, the Manchester girls placed second overall, just three points behind first place Felicity.
In the junior high boys race, Manchester finished fifth and their top runner for the day was eighth grader Dalton Williams, who finished in fifth place with a time of 13:03.24. Seventh grader Declan Huron was 15th in the race and classmate Dylan Adams was 21st out of the total of 56 runners. Also on the course for the Hounds were Matt Hughes (42nd), Logan Bryant (47th), and Daryan Rigsby (54th).
As they tend to do, the Manchester girls totally dominated the high school girls race, placing five girls in the top 10 runners, led by the race winner, sophomore Shyanne Tucker. Tucker ran the 3.1 mile course in a winning time of 21:58.61, besting her teammate and junior Amanda Farthing who finished second with a time of 22:52.07. Sophomores Kelsey Friend and Lydia Lopez took the third and fourth spots respectively, with times of 23:28.38 and 23:45.40. Classmate Xena Crummie was seventh in the race of 42 runners with her time of 24:58.49. Freshman Karemiah Brooks made her "Dog Pack" debut, finishing 41st.
As a team, the Lady Hounds easily outdistanced second place Whiteoak and third place Amelia.
"It was good to get the season started again," said Manchester head coach Vic Bowman. "Our girls did well for the first meet of the year. One through five all performed well and are all capable of improving even more. Any one of them can finish in the top five at any time."
In the high school boys race, the Hounds made it a clean sweep when their young squad of male runners pulled off a first place team finish, rather easily topping second place Felicity. The Hounds were led by two freshmen, Logan Hanson and Ethan Pennywitt. Hanson placed third in the 59 runner field, turning in a time of 19:17.26, while Pennywitt placed fifth with a time of 19:43.19 in his first high school race.
Junior Rickey DeAtley grabbed a top 10 spot in the race, placing seventh in a time of 19:53.05. Manchester also took the 13th, 14th,and 15th slots in the final results with those slots occupied by Austin Stamper, Brendon Kessler, and Gage Lucas. Junior Jacob Purdon was 23rd, senior J.D. Stamper was 44th, and senior Michael Crummie was 54th.
"The boys were a pleasant surprise today," said Coach Bowman. "I know we have good talent but we are young and inexperienced so I expect much improvement as the season progresses. Logan Hanson ran very well as did Ethan Pennywitt, who actually got stung by a hornet during the race. Everyone else performed well and will only get better so I am excited for our future."
"I still have two runners, Jamie Combs and Ryan Dryden, to add to the mix. We will get a better test of where we are this week when we go to Hillsboro and compete against some of the top teams from our area along with some higher division teams."
There was another county squad represented in the two high school races as the North Adams Devils were also on hand. The Lady Devils had a top 10 finisher in the girls race as freshman Laranda Piatt placed ninth with a time of 25:10.56. The Lady Devils and head coach Jennifer Adams also had on the course sophomores Veronica Day and Megan Gorman, who finished 33rd and 34th respectively, and sophomore Katlyn Porter who placed 40th.
The top finisher for the North Adams boys was junior Jesse Hall (27th). Hall was followed by Eric McCaw (40th).

Citizens says hackers have hit its online banking site
Jan 25, 2013 (Boston Herald - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Citizens Bank is now blaming hackers for the disruption to its online and mobile banking services.
Customers logging onto the bank's website this morning were greeted with an advisory that online services were "not available at this time." Problems with the website began yesterday.
"Our online and mobile banking services are experiencing intermittent interruptions following yesterday's Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) disruption," Jim Hughes, spokesman for the Providence-based bank, said in a statement. "A DDoS disruption hinders customers from accessing websites by slowing sites down or disabling them. Customer accounts and personal information are not compromised." A DDoS is a type of computer attack that uses a number of hosts to flood and overwhelm the server.
Earlier today, Citizens had attributed the service disruption to "unusually high volume of Internet traffic, similar to disruptions that have impacted other U.S. banks," but gave no explanation of why the volume had increased.
For immediate service, the bank advises customers to visit one of its branches or ATMs, or called its 24/7 customer contact center at 800-922-9999.
Hughes did not respond to Herald questions regarding how long the site has been experiencing the problems and how long it would take to resolve the issue.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 - 6 nights
INTRODUCING THE OLD BAKERY: This 17th Century building is a Grade II listed historic house and stands at the heart of the delightful Winchmore Hill conservation area. Fast trains to the centre are just 2 minutes walk away & take you in 25 minutes to the West End, theatreland, shops, tourist sites and museums, and the Eurostar terminal. Cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops are nearby on Winchmore Hill Green, which retains the charm of past times, yet is very much part of modern London.
We offer family-run accommodation with a friendly welcome. The apartments are 4 ****star-rated by Visit Britain. Bedlinen & towels are supplied. WiFi is free.
'CHALKLEY'S' (sleeps 4), is a cottage style apartment (on 2 floors) in the historic 17th Century bakehouse - a charming holiday home with impressive beams and fireplaces. Your home-from-home, is elegantly furnished with antique furniture, original paintings and comfy beds. Our guests say that the experience of staying in this charming home is a highlight of their stay in London. 'Chalkley's' accomodates 4 guests and so is ideal for a family of four or for two couples. There are two double, en-suite bedrooms, an elegant living room, spacious dining room & kitchen. Modern kitchen facilities make it ideal for self-catering holidays. The nearby 'Deli-on-the-Green' and 'The Larder' make food buying a pleasure rather than a chore . The apartment can be rented in a one bedroom format, suitable for 2 guests (sharing a bedroom), at a discounted rent.
The apartment is named after the Chalkley family who ran the Bakery for four generations.
This cosy, romantic cottage is situated in the secluded walled garden of The Old Bakery, with direct gated access to the street and to Winchmore Hill Green. It consists of a living/dining room, kitchen, shower-room and double bedroom in the eaves. The Stables have their own patio area where out guests enjoy breakfasts among the flowers and romantic evening drinks. .
Winchmore Hill is a delightful and safe area of London, popular with Londoners because of its excellent, fast train links to the West End and City centre. It was in 1871, when the railway came to Winchmore Hill, that a sleepy village became a commuter suburb of London and prosperous City workers built new homes in streets around the ancient village Green. The Old Bakery is close to the station, just two minutes' walk. The nearby shops, 'Deli-on-the-Green' and 'The Larder', make food buying a pleasure rather than a chore. If you wish to eat out, there are high quality restaurants, cafes and pubs nearby. There is also a large supermarket a short walk from the Old Bakery.
Self-catering accommodation at The Old Bakery offers you a more relaxing and more economical option to hotels. At The Old Bakery, you have your own home-from-home where you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings before and after your day's site-seeing in the centre of London.
This is a family-run business. We pride ourselves on our personal service and friendly welcome to all our guests. We enjoy sharing the beauty of this historic building with you.
The village origins of Winchmore Hill (first mentioned in the history books in the 14th century as a village on the route to the Royal Hunting Forest) still reveal themselves in the historic buildings around The Green, and in a friendly community atmosphere, unusual in a capital City like London.
The Old Bakery is believed to have begun life in about 1595AD as a village hall with central huge fireplace and vaulted ceiling, before becoming, first, a farmhouse, then, in 1822AD, the village Bakehouse, and finally a private home . The Bakery was run for many years by Quakers and Winchmore Hill was an historic a centre of early Quakerism. The nearby Quaker Meeting House is still in use, surrounded by a beautiful garden.
My first husband, Clive, and I brought the Bakery in 1978. Restoring and preserving its historic fabric became a labour of love. Originally we used the whole of the Old Bakery as a family home. Clive was a classical musician and both our children were studying instruments. So it was well used for rehearsal and practice. My children, Karen and Stephen, are both professional musicians. Stephen plays the cello and Karen the violin. In 1986, Clive died and soon my children became adults and had homes and, eventually, families of their own. I decided to divide the house into two parts, thus creating 'Chalkley's' apartment. I converted the Stables to a guest house about ten years ago,
For many years, I worked in Fundraising and raised funds for historic buildings including Worcester College Oxford, The King Charles Court at Royal Greenwich and (my final project) St Paul's Cathedral. I then re-trained as a Psychotherapist and have private practice in Winchmore Hill.
My second husband, Bruce, is a scientist working on Environmental issues.
Bruce has three adult children and we now have ten grandchildren between us! The eldest is Zachary aged 18 and the youngest is baby Gabriel who was born in April 2013. My son, Stephen and his French wife Amelie (also a musician) have 3 year old twins Elliot and Ariane whom I often look after, which is a real joy.
Our children and grandchildren frequently gather here for meals. When there is a birthday to celebrate it is usually a case of 'Let's go to Mum's'. Fortunately, Bruce is an excellent and enthusiastic cook. The photo above is of the family gathering for Zachary's 18th birthday. I am the one wearing a flowery jacket and holding Elliot, aged 3 years. In order round the table, Amelie (back to camera) me, Nat, Zach, Karen, Gabriel (not the baby Gabriel but his older cousin!) Martin (a friend from New York) and Stephen holding Ariane (Elliot's twin sister).
Nina Anstee purchased this apartment in 1978
Winchmore Hill is a wonderful place to live. It combines fast access to the centre of London with pleasant surroundings, good independently-run shops and restaurants, and a thriving and friendly community. These last qualities are rare in large capital cities.I frequently join local friends at the Deli-on-the-Green for morning coffee, when we talk over local issues, discuss the latest news or have friendly disagreements about politics. In the warmer weather I love to walk in beautiful Grovelands Park. The Park was once the grounds of 18th century Grovelands House (designed by John Adams) but was bought by the far-sighted local Council 100 years ago as a amenity for the neighbourhood.
At weekends Bruce and I usually go to the theatre, a concert, or to the National Film Theatre. The great thing about Winchmore Hill is that it is easy to pop into the centre - for a bit of Oxford Street shopping, or to visit Borough Food Market, for example - while also enjoying a great neighbourhood.
When I first saw The Old Bakery, the fireplace in Chalkley's dining room brought back childhood memories of my grandfather reading by his newspaper by the fireside in his Tudor period house. I love The Old Bakery's spaciousness, its charm, its excentricities and its warm family atmosphere.
When we bought The Old Bakery we spent a lot of time finding the original features hidden beneath inappropriate 'modernisations'. I have taken pride in conserving the building's historic fabric and bringing The Old Bakery's facilities up to high contemporary standards without compromising its character and atmosphere. About ten years ago, I transformed The Stables ( where the baker's horses lived until the1940s) into a delightful one bedroom cottage (also available as a holiday apartment).
Thank you for the lovely welcome and for having us in your wonderful home. It could not have been better. The house and all its charming historical quirks is exactly what we were hoping for. Winchmore Hill and all the conveniences so nearby made it a perfect location. ..Thanks for the beautiful memories.
We had a really wonderful stay at The Old Bakery. Nina was extremely friendly and helpful. The Old Bakery is located by The Green in Winchmore Hill. A lovely location. Great deli opposite, supermarkets nearby, fabulous Indian Restaurant (Winchmore Tandoori) Only one minute from the station .... and yet we didn't hear a train once in the house! 25 minutes in to London. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Highly recommended and I'm sure we'll be back.
The Old Bakery lived up to our expectations and provided comfortable and cozy accommodation for a family of four in charming and slightly posh Winchmore Hill (WH).
We were met by the proprietor's son, who showed us everything and made us feel really welcome. In the living rooom there were fresh tulips and in the fridge even some freshly bought food.
Even though the building obviously is several hundred years old and the rooms hence are small and low-ceilinged, the facilities are modern and adequate and everything is clean and in perfect working order. During our oval weekend we found little to complain about. My only grief was that the doors are quite low, so persons over 1.80 m must take care negotiating them to avoid bumps in the top of their head. The stairs between the floors are steep and narrow, but still no challenge to kids and youngish people like ourselves.
We planned to use WH as a base for our excursions to central London, and as the train station is only a few minutes away and the train ride in to the city is only 25-30 minutes, this proved to be a winner strategy. Coming back to WH after a day of sightseeing in town was like coming to a village in the countryside: Quiet, with narrow streets and well-maintained houses and gardens. The immediate surroundings offer ample choice of good pubs, tea rooms and small restaurants, as well as shops and groceries.
Eating: We can really recommend the turkish restaurant on the Green, Samdan, that serves great mezes and other dishes for a reasonable price.The Greek on the Green is also good value, but lacks a bit in atmosphere.
Transport: Getting to WH from Stansted airport was a breeze, thanks to a taxi from the local company Greenfox that were waiting for us and took us to our door for around 45 pounds, cheaper than taking the train - and much more convenient. They also picked us up for our return trip,
Conclusion: We would love to go back any time and can totally recommend The Old Bakery to anyone without a disability!
Nils Gundersen - Stabekk, Norway
We so enjoyed our stay at the Old Bakery. The house was clean and very well maintained, and Nina was a wonderful hostess (and her son too, who greeted us on arrival on her behalf). She was very responsive by email and was easy to get ahold of when needed. she provides loads of books and pamphlets to aid you in sightseeing (even Rick Steves haha). We love the affordability and value of a vacation rental, and this didn't disappoint.
The rental is very convenient to the train station and a bus stop, perfect for getting to the city in about 30 min, with a change to an Underground... Just be sure to factor this into your scheduling, and avoid rush hour. The shopping area and restaurants around the rental are all excellent, especially the deli across the street. The area itself is worth spending some time exploring, There is a beautiful park nearby, and Rocco's had some delicious gelato.
I would recommend this rental to anyone, my mother was along with us and loved it. Thanks, Nina and Stephen, for making our stay in London so enjoyable and perfect for exploring locally and in the city.
Chalkleys is an ideal home away from home and the photos don't do it justice. It's so adorable and everything you could want in a getaway location. It's absolutely spotless and the only thing missing would be to go back in time for the aroma of freshly baked bread. :) I'd definitely take Nina's advice when it comes to going to Southgate and then getting a taxi, as the number of stairs involved at Finsbury Park station are difficult to negotiate with a suitcase.
My hosts went above and beyond when it came to making my visit everything I hoped it would be, down to the milk, bread and eggs upon arrival. Thank you so much !
The location is perfect for getting into London easy enough by train and such a welcome home after a busy day sightseeing.
The stairs leading up to the bedroom/s, bathroom and kitchen are very steep and narrow so not recommended for someone with difficulties getting up and down stairs, although delightful baskets are provided so you can carry your dishes etc down the stairs and still have a hand free to hold the rail. :) The shower is a dream on a cold night, although there is not much hot water pressure in both the bathroom and kitchen sink.
The area itself is so gorgeous and everyone has been so friendly. It's a pleasure to just walk around the neighborhood and Grovelands Park is a must see.
I'm here for another week out of a two week visit and I would highly recommend this as an ideal place to call home while you're on vacation. I know I am going to be sad to leave but hope I can come back again.
As you can tell I am totally enjoying my stay here, and wanted to let everyone know this even before I leave. Well done Nina...you have a dream location.
We stayed at this beautiful period house for 4 nights on the occasion of a family reunion and could not have found a nicer place. The house is tastefully furnished, well equipped, clean, comfortable and utterly charming. Nina, the owner, helped us with all sorts of information - thank you also for the restaurant recommendations, Nina, we had some great dinners! Winchmore Hill itself is a pretty little town with all the facilities needed, and commuting to Enfield town and London by public transport is very easy and fast. Coming home to this green, quiet retreat after a busy day in London is heaven! My husband and I will definitely be back and will certainly recommend the house to our friends
We had a fantastic stay at the Stables in Winchmore Hill. The Stables was the perfect size for my husband and me to use as our base for seeing London and the Olympics. The town is big enough to have all the necessary conveniences nearby, but far enough out of Central London to be neighborly and quiet. The train station is just around the corner and the trains will take you wherever you want to go. There are a number of good places to eat right in Winchmore Hill (we loved the King's Head Pub, Queen's Head Pub and the wonderful Deli right across the street from the Stables) and getting to Central London to shop or eat is very easy. Nina was the perfect host and was mot gracious and helpful during our stay. We were traveling with our teenage children, so we also rented Chalkey's so that they could be nearby, but have their own space. The neighborhood was very safe and the children enjoyed exploring on their own. They also enjoyed the free internet and television with many channels.
The garden outside the Stables was lovely and the unit was very clean. The ladder up to the sleeping area is steep, but very manageable. Overall, our stay could not have been better. The location is perfect and gives one a taste of history with all the modern conveniences. We recommend it heartily to anyone wishing to have a relaxing stay with plenty of room to spread out. It was the perfect home base for our travels to the Olympics and our visit to Winchmore Hill will be treasured until we are able to visit again!
Winchmore Hill is a pleasant residential area of London from which trains take you to the West End's theatres, museums, galleries and shops in just 25-30 minutes. The City (St Paul's Cathedral, The Millennium Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe, Tate Modern) is equally accessible by train.
The Old Bakery (a working bakery known as Chalkley's Bakehouse until 1945), is one of a group of 17Th century buildings near the 'village' Green, which is a historic Conservation Area. The Green has charming pubs, restaurants and traditional tea-rooms, as well excellent food shopping.
In the 1660s, Winchmore Hill became one of the earliest Quaker communities, founded by George Chalkley. His son, Thomas, emigrated to America and became a famous preacher. The Quaker Meeting House and the Old School House are nearby.
The university City of Cambridge can be reached by train in 1 hour 15 minutes, and beautiful Hatfield House (where Queen Elizabeth I lived before becoming Queen) in 45 minutes.

British firm agrees to plead guilty in Iraq case
Monday - 12/10/2012, 8:00pm EST
BOSTON (AP) - A British contractor has agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud conspiracy in a deal to supply vehicles to Iraqi police during U.S.-led reconstruction efforts.
The U.S. Department of Justice said Monday that APTx Vehicle Systems Ltd. agreed to a $1 million criminal fine.
Officials say APTx was to receive $5.7 million as a subcontractor in an August 2004 deal to procure 51 vehicles for the Iraqi Police Authority. They say in 2005 the company tried to draw down the letters of credit it was paid with by claiming the vehicles were ready to ship to Iraq even though they hadn't been built.
Massachusetts businessman and APTx representative Benjamin Kafka pleaded guilty in 2009 to concealing his knowledge of the scheme.
APTx attorneys haven't returned emails sent Monday requesting comment.
