STYLEBYTE: One trend. One love.
If you have seen me lately, you will know that I am dying for jumpsuits. I have parked my dresses for the season in exchange for the jumpsuit. They are easy, comfortable, fashionable and versatile; what more could you ask for? We have received quite a few styles in the store lately that I could not wait to try.
I wore the Addison jumpsuit and paired it with a moto boot and heavy chain jewelry to create a rather tough look. The piece made me feel sexy, cool, and stylish.
Addison jumpsuit, jewelry: BCBGMaz Azria, Jenny Bird
I wore a stunning BCBGMax Azria jumpsuit to a funeral a few weeks ago with a camisole under the sheer deep v-front to make it less revealing, added a cropped black jacket, and layered multiple strands of pearls for a more sophisticated and chic look.

And cute Madeline sported the new Ella Moss jumpsuits for a photoshoot with a statement necklace and darling hat.

Jumpsuits can serve many purposes and can be an easy outfit choice. Head to a cocktail party in an all silk number, or throw one on to have lunch with the girls. Or if you want to get edgy, then pick a jumpsuit with some hardware or interesting detailing.

If you are not sure that a jumpsuit is right for you, go and try one on - you might be surprised. And if you are concerned that you are too short for the trend, pick a jumpsuit with more of a track-pant-leg (one that tapers at the bottom) so that there is a clear end to the look. Also make sure that the jumpsuit is fitted so that it shows off your figure.
Charlie Jade jumpsuit Vince jumpsuit
I do have one rule for wearing a jumpsuit and that is that you have to 'rock it.' With any new trend that you are trying for the first time, there is nothing more important than confidence. Jumpsuits are bold and you will stand out, so make sure that you own the look and don't let the look own you.
As always, if you have questions or need help with this trend stop by and see us at the store. XX Ashley

Even the Mutants are excited.
Future, the special-interest media group, has announced its first magazine launch of 2010. Comic Heroes – a premium-priced quarterly title, goes on sale in March.
Interest in superheroes is at an all-time high, with superhero movies like Batman, Iron Man and Spiderman routinely breaking box office records. Even independent comic books like Kick Ass and Watchmen have received the Hollywood treatment. Future's Comic Heroes will tap into this phenomenon, with all-new editorial, lavish design and collectible packaging combining to cover everything associated with the superhero universe.
The launch of the 132-page quarterly, priced at £7.99, follows the huge success in 2009 of a "superheroes special" from sister-title SFX. Comic Heroes is the latest magazine launch from Future in music and film – specialist sectors where it holds strong market positions. Last year, the launch of Classic Rock Presents: Prog - Future's quarterly title dedicated to the Progressive Rock genre – was hugely successful and it has continued to grow newsstand and subscription sales.
Comic Heroes will be edited by Jez Bickham and promises to take an in-depth look at the latest superhero movies, videogames and of course, the comic books themselves – with news, previews, reviews and comprehensive features. The launch issue lifts the lid on guaranteed summer blockbuster, Iron Man 2.
Robert Price, Future UK Chief Executive said:
"Our success in launching two new monthly magazines and a number of specials in 2009 was thanks to our in-depth knowledge and editorial expertise in the specialist sectors we launched into. We're leaders in film and science-fiction media, so this launch makes absolute sense for us, particularly given the incredible popularity of the superhero genre at the moment.
Stuart Galbraith is Associate Publisher of Comic Heroes, and its sister-title SFX – Europe's bestselling sci-fi and fantasy magazine, added:
"The interest in superhero movies is at an all-time high and with a massive slate of new movies in development it really looks as though we are entering the decade of the superhero – with new Batman, Captain America, Iron Man, Spiderman, Thor and X-Men movies due within the next few years, as well as the forthcoming Avengers film which brings many of Marvel's biggest characters together in one epic.
"SFX readers have always maintained a healthy interest in superheroes but their recent special demonstrated an appetite from enthusiasts for more. Comic Heroes is a premium-priced magazine that promises to give die-hard fans a very special package."

Occupation: Student
Irene Alvarado was born and raised an only child in Portland, Ore., and is finishing her last year at Portland State University, where she is studying anthropology, history and Latin American studies. She has been overweight most of her life, but especially in the last year and a half when she gained 90 pounds. The weight gain has caused her to be sick more frequently and has also triggered her asthma. Her two biggest supporters for going on the show were her mother, Ana, and her boyfriend. Irene says her mother has always put her first, but now it's time for her mom to put herself first and get healthy. Now 26 years old and 255 lbs., Irene looks forward to being the first college graduate in her family, travelling with her mother to Mexico, and traveling the world with her boyfriend once she loses the weight and starts a "healthier and happier chapter" of her life.

Dwyane Wade: LeBron and I have figured this out
Side-by-side and either-or has given way to, well, just playing.
The dance between Dwyane Wade and LeBron James that at times last season resembled players deferring instead of dominating has given way to dual delivery.
After an initial season together and an offseason to discuss it, Wade said the Heat's perimeter stars return with a better sense of how to thrive in tandem.
"Obviously me and LeBron have a lot of conversations," Wade said following Wednesday's practice at AmericanAirlines Arena. "It just got to the point last year where we were like, 'No matter what, the reason we're playing together and the reason we wanted to play together is because of what we do and what we've done. And so just do what you do, don't necessarily worry about anything. If you feel it, go. If you don't, I'm on the other side.' "
That, Wade said, added an element of ease to the dynamic.
"And then we just started getting comfortable," he said. "Obviously, I think we're going to be better this year, playing together, playing off each other. But I thought we got a pretty good handle on it last year, quicker than a lot of people thought it would."
Wade said there were times where the two got away from the reason they came together in the first place.
"We came here to play with each other because of the greatness of the other guy, so we want you to still be that person," he said.
Wade said making it work with James transcends beyond Xs and Os.
"I think it was up and down all year," he said. "There were some times where we got out of rhythm again, so, in the Finals, sometimes we were out of rhythm.
"So we just want to continue to get better. I don't think we mastered it last year. I thought we did a good job. Hopefully this year we can do an even better job."
A full preseason might have helped, but in the quick restart following the lockout, that won't be the case.
"Obviously, we're going to have to get back into the flow of NBA basketball games," he said. "It's still going to take time. We've only got two preseason games. That's more than I had last year. So I'm very confident that we can get everything going fast."

San Luis Obispo, CA — Today marks the start of the 2012-2013 open burn season in San Luis Obispo County. The burn season, which typically runs from approximately November through the end of April, affects the burning of residential yard trimmings in backyards and agricultural wastes.
Open burn season normally closes at the end of April when local fire agencies typically predict an increasing risk of wildfires from drying brush and grass. All burning requires a permit from the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District.

Cornerstone Sonoma is a Showcase of World-Class Landscape Architecture in Northe...
BY: Mark Boyer
Start Slideshow
- Cornerstone SonomaLandscape architects design some of our favorite public and private outdoor spaces, but landscape designers rarely become household names. Cornerstone Sonoma in Northern California is a celebration of landscape architecture, and it features more thana dozen gardens designed by some of the world's leading artists and landscape designers. Located about 45 minutes north of San Francisco, the gardens feature an impressive collection of sculptures, open-air art galleries, and a wide range of conceptual installations from landscape artists and architects ranging from Andy Cao & Xavier Perrot to John Greenlee. It's a must-see stop if you're heading to Northern California's wine country. Click through the photo gallery to see some of our highlights.1
- Cornerstone SonomaOne of the most visually arresting installations at Cornerstone Sonoma is "White Cloud," which, contrary to its name, is an ominous dark cloud with shimmering drops of rain hovering above a desert landscape.2
- Cornerstone SonomaThe installation was produced by Andy Cao and Xavier Perrot, and it's made from big bunches of mesh wire that are suspended from tall poles.3
- Cornerstone SonomaThe piece features several sets of oversized chopsticks next to a railroad track, which references the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad, leading into a large lantern-shaped structure.4
- Cornerstone Sonoma"The elemental design touches on the themes of migration, diaspora, and assimilation," explain the artists.5
- Cornerstone SonomaIf the blue and black wall at the rear of Topher Delaney's installation looks familiar, it's because it's something you've probably seen countless times on the bottom of grocery store items: It's a bar code that spells out the words "Garden Play" inCode 39. Clever, eh? The bar code stands behind vertical lines of eight slender birch trees, providing a contrast between manmade/commodified objects and the natural world.6
- Cornerstone SonomaMario Schjetnan's emotionally- and politically-charged installation at Cornerstone Sonoma pays tribute to the thousands of Mexican migrant workers who risk their lives to find work in the US.7
- Cornerstone SonomaThe sheet metal wall represents the border between the two countries, and it leads to a small series of vegetable planter boxes, representing agricultural jobs in California.8
- Cornerstone SonomaOn the opposite side, is a small "Pool of Tears" that represents migrant workers' loneliness and fears.9
- Cornerstone SonomaMany of the gardens and installations at Cornerstone Sonoma comment on the contrast between the natural and artificial worlds -- none more so than Ken Smith's "Daisy Border," which consists of dozens of daisy pinwheels, which spin at a furious pace in the Northern California breeze.10
- Cornerstone SonomaAt the Wishing Garden, visitors are invited to write a wish on a piece of tape and attach it to a circular metal trellis.11
- Cornerstone Sonoma"Each individual wish in our garden becomes part of a collective dream," writes designer Mark Rios.12
- Cornerstone SonomaThe Eucalyptus Soliloquy is a tribute to one of California's most ubiquitous invasive species: the eucalyptus tree, which was originally brought from Australia to make railroad ties.13
- Cornerstone SonomaThe installation consists of three different walls, each of which are made from different components of the eucalyptus tree (leaves, bark and branches).14
- Cornerstone SonomaPerhaps the most relaxing garden at Cornerstone Sonoma is Yoji Sasaki's Garden of Visceral Serenity, which visitors can enter on a beautiful path of long and narrow granite stones.15
- Cornerstone SonomaAt the rear of the garden is a small meditation box made of rusted metal.16

Lost and Found
|Lost and Found
|GTA Vice City Stories
|Louise Cassidy-Williams
|Ocean Beach, Vice City
|In the Air Tonight
Lost and Found is a mission in GTA: Vice City Stories given by Lance Vance to protagonist Victor Vance.
Vic goes to Lance's apartment who informs him of enemy, Jerry Martinez, going to kidnap his girlfriend Louise Cassidy-Williams again as she's soon getting out of hospital. Vic drives to the hospital in Downtown and picks up Louise from the hospital while asking her about wanting to do something fun, he receives a message from Lance who says he's trapped in a burning building and wants Vic to bring a helicopter. Vic and Louise take the helicopter on the roof of the hospital and Vic flies over to Ocean Beach where Lance is seen in a roof up in flames. He has been attacked by Martinez's goons who took his money and wants to get them back as the Martinez goons are escaping in boats. Vic flies over the boats as Lance from the chopper fires and kills all the goons. Afterward he jumps on the boat with his money and leaves while Vic takes Louise back to her sister's apartment in Little Havana.
(Lance and Vic at Lance's apartment.)
Lance: Hey, Vic... is Louise still in the hospital?
Vic: Yeah, but she'll be getting out soon.
Lance: That's good. Look, we got a big deal coming down today. I'm gonna need you there.
Vic: Wait a minute. Why are you asking about Louise?
Lance: Take it easy. It's just that... You know, Martinez called and he said that he's gonna "pay her a visit", and I don't think he means to take some fruit.
Vic: What?
Lance: Look, the hospital's got security. She'll be fine. Let's you and me just go make some money.
Vic: You're kidding, right?
Lance: Oh, man, get your priorities in order.
(Vic goes to pickup Louise from the hospital.)
Vic: Louise... Heh, you look good.
Louise: Thanks. I feel good.
Vic: You know, for a while, I thought I'd lost you.
Louise: I thought I'd lost you.
Vic: Look, I was angry. I shouldn't have said what I did.
'Louise: Me neither.
Vic: You wanna do something fun? No business, just me and you?
(Vic receives a message on pager.)
Vic: Aw, nuts, it's Lance. What the hell?! "Trapped in a burning building - bring a helicopter"? What can I do?
Louise: Business can be fun. There's a helicopter on the roof of the hospital. We could take that.
(Vic and Louise in a helicopter fly to Ocean Beach.)
Louise: There's the building. I can't see Lance, though. Get in closer. There he is!
(Vic lands on the roof and Lance appears.)
Vic: Get in, you idiot!
Louise: What happened?
Lance: Did you run into any trouble? No? Well, I did. Martinez set us up - divide and conquer. He got you out of the way and nearly nailed me. Martinez's men took everything... but we're gonna get it back. They headed out to sea. Come on, let's get after them.
(Vic flies the helicopter over to the thieves and Lance fires at them.)
Lance: There they are! Yeah, not so clever now, huh? Eat lead, sucker! I got you, you mother!
(After all the thieves are dead.)
Lance: Get me over that boat. It's got our money in it.
(Vic flies over the boat and Lance jumps on it.)
Lance: I'll see you cats later. Keep popping!
Vic: I'm sorry. Things just keep cropping up. Maybe we can still have some fun.
Louise: That's OK, Vic. I had fun. But I should be getting back to Mary-Beth now.
Vic: Oh, yeah. Sure.
Louise: It's a great view from up here! I think I see Mary-Jo's place! There are some beautiful houses down there... Some real shit-holes, too. This is so cool, honey.
(They land and Louise walks slowly home.)
Vic: Louise, I'll call you real soon.
Louise: Oh, OK.
Vic: I'm kind of in the middle of a war right now.
Louise: It's OK. I'll wait.
The reward for completing this mission is $1,500 and the unlocking of In the Air Tonight.

What artist is a graduate of Boston's Berklee College of Music and is releasing an EP on this writer's birthday (June 3)? Tucker Jameson. "Light Up the Night" is about connecting with a loved one on a deep level without judgment. If you have ever put yourself in a situation where you were completely vulnerable with your feelings for another person and hoped for the best, "Apple of My Eye" will resonate with you.
He was inspired by his experiences while satiating his wanderlust, Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Slaughterhouse Five" and of course his past relationships as well as abstract art. The tone of this album was important to him, too. Tucker Jameson explains "The production goals were to focus heavily on synth and using only a throaty sounding guitar as a flavor or dressing sprinkled on top." We recommend listening to this record while star-gazing or on a road trip, as it was conceived while traveling.
For the latest information on his tour, like him on Facebook and follow him on Twitter. Also, be sure to check out the album when it becomes available physically and digitally on June 3, 2014.

Back in September, Generation Opportunity, a "liberty-loving," "nonpartisan," "youth advocacy group," made a name for itself with two viral videos, each featuring a character named Creepy Uncle Sam.
The clips were a minute long, and offered the group's take on what would happen after Obamacare—officially known as the Affordable Care Act—went into effect. In one scene, a woman in her 20s sits back on a gynecological exam table, her feet set in stirrups. The doctor leaves her alone in the room, and Creepy Uncle Sam rises from between her legs, causing her to shriek. In the other, a man of the same age is inexplicably told by his general practitioner to drop his pants, get on the table and bring his knees to his chest. Again the doctor leaves, only this time Creepy Uncle Sam rises from behind, as if he was about to check the patient's prostate. Both videos end with the same warning: "Don't let government play doctor."
These ads, ironically a kind of reverse-communist agitprop, were part of the group's "Opt Out" campaign, which suggested to uninsured young people that it would be better not to enroll in the new health care exchanges.
The videos' dark, mixed metaphor and the campaign's message caused an uproar. But in terms of publicity, both were a success. Collectively, they've been viewed more than 3 million times.
At one point, the noise reached such a fever pitch that President Obama felt compelled to comment. "Some of the wealthiest men in America," he said, "are funding a cynical ad campaign trying to convince young people not to buy health care at all."
The men in question were Charles and David Koch, two conservative billionaire brothers who, since Obama's election, have been supporting conservative libertarian causes—often covertly—through layers of benignly named nonprofits. One of these nonprofits is Freedom Partners, a trade group that provided more than $5 million to Generation Opportunity.
The Kochs' strategy, according to Wendell Potter, a former health insurance executive, is "not about health care," but rather "to continue to try to make the Affordable Care Act unpopular and tied to Democrats," who, historically, are less likely to support their overall business interests.
But this position may stand at odds with what is best for young Americans, and that is Generation Opportunity's challenge: to reach a typically liberal demographic and convince them that Obama's agenda is harmful.
On a recent Wednesday afternoon, Evan Feinberg, the president of Generation Opportunity, stood before a dry-erase board at the group's headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. His hair was impeccably coiffed, as if the gel had held firmly since his senior prom. And his attire—blue blazer and tan corduroy pants—reinforced the notion that he was a figure of maturity in the room.
"You know the rules," he said, holding a marker in one hand and a Ping-Pong ball in the other. "No judging. If you judge, you get a ball thrown at you."
Around 10 members of his staff were seated in front of him on boxy leather furniture, and they all chuckled. The group was fresh-faced and eager, full of earnest, post-college spirit. The boys were either dressed in form-fitting khaki pants or the rumpled tech attire made familiar by Mark Zuckerberg. The girls, however, were more uniformly well put-together, tending toward business casual—skirts and power suits—except one, who wore designer jeans and equestrian boots.
The theme of today's meeting was government spending, and how it adversely affects young men and women. "So what are the problems that face our generation?" Feinberg asked.
There was a freeform exchange, the staff members calling out a barrage of answers. "Generational theft," one said. "The Federal Reserve," said another. "Cronyism." "Credit cards." "Student loans." "What about the Chinese threat?" one girl asked.
Feinberg recorded the answers on the wall and said, "OK. Do you guys think there are any underlying messages here? Anything that could be the backbone of a campaign?"
They all seemed to agree on "generational theft."
"So what does that mean?" Feinberg prodded.
"I think it means there's someone stealing from another," a young man volunteered. "It's like what the left does with women's issues. The left does a really good job at identifying that. We could say it's like a war on youth."

Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) announced Tuesday that Carl Edwards will join the organization in 2015 to drive a fourth car for the team and compete full time in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Jack Roush confirmed last month that Edwards would be leaving Roush Fenway Racing at the end of the season but did not specify at the time where he would go.
During the press conference which was attended by media members and streamed live, JGR also announced that ARRIS Group, Inc. will sponsor Edwards in the No. 19 Toyota Camry for 17 races in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The team did not announce additional sponsors for the No. 19 for the remaining races.
Edwards is currently eighth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings with two wins, five top-five and nine top-10 finishes thus far this season. By virtue of his two wins, he has qualified for the post-season championship, assuming he attempts to qualify for the next three races. His highest finish in a Sprint Cup Series season was in 2011 when he was runner-up to Tony Stewart. The two were tied in points after the last race and Stewart was named champion based on a tiebreaker.
JGR also announced the addition of Daniel Suarez, who will compete in the Nationwide series full time in 2015 and will compete part-time in the Camping World Truck Series, with ARRIS Group as sponsor for both.
Suarez is currently competing full time for Escuderia TELMEX in the NASCAR Mexico Toyota Series, where he leads that series, and also competes in the NASCAR Drive for Diversity for Rev Racing Team in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East.
"This is one of the biggest days in Joe Gibbs Racing's history," said Joe Gibbs, founder and owner of Joe Gibbs Racing. "To be able to bring a driver the caliber of Carl Edwards on board to launch our fourth team is just a thrill. But we also have the opportunity to announce a new partner in ARRIS that will not only sponsor Carl, but also share a vision with Carlos Slim Domit and Escuderia TELMEX to develop Mexican and Latin American drivers in NASCAR. We are excited to have Daniel Suarez as part of that program and look forward to watching his development in the NASCAR Nationwide Series next season."
"Having the opportunity to run full time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series with Joe Gibbs Racing is like a dream come true," said Suarez. "Everyone knows how successful they have been in the Nationwide Series and I can't thank ARRIS enough for supporting me next season. It's also exciting to be part of this initiative with Carlos because I know his passion for racing and his desire to provide opportunities to others like me."
JGR currently fields the NASCAR Sprint Cup teams of Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth plus three NASCAR Nationwide teams with full-time driver Elliott Sadler in the 11 car and various drivers in the other two cars.
Darrell Wallace, Jr. will drive a full season in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series behind the wheel of a Kyle Busch Motorsports Tundra and Cody Coughlin enters JGR's driver development program and will compete in the ARCA Series for Venturini Motorsports.

There can be only one (port in a firewall)
By Fat Bloke on Aug 19, 2007
In the last blog we explored how to make the connections secure, which is essential if you want to use SGD in a secure, remote environment where users are outside and apps are inside the corporate network boundary. But an equally important pre-requisite is to work "nicely" with firewalls.
Many organizations have a policy which allows ports 80 and 443 (http/https) to remain open. So can SGD operate over these ports or do we need to spend weeks with the Security guys convincing them to open up other ports?
The answer is that SGD can work entirely over a single port and this blog explains how.
SGD, or a component thereof, is made to sit on the external 443 port as shown in this diagram
Thru a magical technique, SGD can discover if the traffic arriving on the port is AIP or https traffic, without needing to decrypt the traffic, and is then able to forward the stream to the web server or the SGD server as it deems fit. In this way only one port needs to be opened in the firewall.
Here's how to set up SGD in this way:
- Set up the webserver to listen on localhost:443 You'll need to edit the webserver configuration file /opt/tarantella/webserver/apache/\*/conf/httpd.conf and change the port it listens on from:
- Set up SGD to listen on external-dns:443
- Tell SGD where to send non-AIP traffic
- Finally, restart the web server and the SGD server
Listen 443to...
Listen 127.0.0.1:443
# /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config edit --array-port-encrypted 443
# /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config edit --security-firewallurl https://127.0.0.1:443
# /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella webserver restart --ssl # /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella restart
And now you're only using one port. Voila!

Despite the overt complacency of the minimalist trend in the clothing and accessories market (mainly handbags), minimalism is not just limited to clothing and accessories.
The latest in a series of hot off the press jewelry trends, some we just have to have-- ear cuffs for the epic win!
And others not so much---chunky chains just remind us of being confined to a prison cell for some reason, slender cuffs are a carefree and daintier approach to this season's hottest jewelry trends.
Bringing about a modifying effect to the heavy laden statement jewelry which has done an about face the last couple of seasons, slender cuffs can be worn as your everyday ordinary jewelry, or it can be worn for afternoon or night out.
For an evening look, sport a slender cuff with your favorite motif. The most popular motifs for this season are the arrowed look and the panther look. Any motif that speaks to your personality, however, will be a perfect fit.
For afternoon looks you can stack slender cuffs on for an edgier approach. This is also where you can play up the number of styles, stack'em on or sport one on each wrist.
You wouldn't be alone garnering the trend. Celebrities that have been spotted taken heed to the uninhibited look include Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez and Rachel Zoe.
How to style it: Slender cuffs look great as a supporting cast to other minimalist gems such shift dresses and jumpsuits. Slender cuffs also look fab when paired with Grecian dresses.
Here are 10 storied pieces to rock this summer season...

A Victory in the Billionaire Beef With Herbalife?
Josh Wolonick
Two of Carl Icahn's "top people" will join the company's board, meaning Icahn now has the right to increase his stake in the company to 25%.
The odd battle for network marketing company
(NYSE:HLF) continues, and Carl Icahn seems to have taken a victory. The company has just announced a new agreement with the billionaire investor wherein Icahn has the right to increase his stake to up to 25% of common stock. Moreover, the company agreed to increase the size of its board from nine to 11, with two Ichan nominees being added. Speaking with Bloomberg TV, Icahn said his two "top people" will join Herbalife's board. The stock was halted before the
news was announced and has since risen to $40.29 to close the session up by 7.61%.
On Bloomberg TV, Icahn seemed positively thrilled about the news, saying, "We've done a hell of a lot of work on this. We're excited about this." As for his sparring partner in the battle over Herbalife, Bill Ackman, he said, "I think that Ackman has given us an opportunity to buy a company cheaply, at a discounted price."
The billionaire beef has been fun to watch and follow, but is this news a sign that Icahn will be claiming a victory?

Policy Support and Signaling in Low-Income Countries
Implementation of the Policy Support Instrument
Strengthening the IMF's Support for Low-Income Countries -- An Issues Brief

items of interest to you.
IMF Executive Board Approves the Establishment of Policy Support Instruments for Aiding Low-Income Countries
On October 5, 2005, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a proposal establishing Policy Support Instruments, which will provide policy support and signaling to low-income countries that do not want—or do not need—financial assistance from the IMF.
In concluding the discussion on Policy Support and Signaling in Low-Income Countries (See PIN No. 05/144), the Executive Board supported the establishment of a framework for Policy Support Instruments, or PSIs. PSIs are designed to address the needs of low-income members that may not need Fund financial assistance, but seek Fund endorsement and assessment of their economic policies. A PSI will be available only upon request of a member and will add to the toolkit of instruments from which low-income countries can choose their desired form of engagement with the Fund. The PSI will be a complement to, and not a substitute for, the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF), which will remain the main instrument for Fund financial support to low-income members with balance of payments needs. The nature of the Fund's engagement in low-income members will be decided on a case-by-case basis, depending on the needs and policies of the member at the time.
Implementation of the Policy Support Instrument, addressed: (i) the modalities for a fixed schedule of reviews, including how to signal that a program is back on track; (ii) the application of a misreporting framework under the PSI; and (iii) the relationship between a PSI and the poverty reduction strategy (PRS) process. The report on implementation of the PSIs also addresses the modalities for publication of PSI documents and specifies that safeguards assessments will remain optional for PSI users, though they will be encouraged.
Executive Board Assessment
The approval by the Executive Board of the proposed decisions on the establishment of the framework for the Policy Support Instrument (PSI) and the consequent amendments to current Fund policies marks an important step in strengthening the Fund's ability to serve its low-income members. The decisions on October 5, 2005 have created the PSI to address the needs of low-income members that may not need, or want, Fund financial support, but still want the Fund to support, monitor, and endorse their policies. They are based on the guidance from the Board at its July 25 and August 3, 2005 meetings and from the International Monetary and Financial Committee. The PSI will offer a sound approach for helping countries design effective economic programs and provide signals to donors, the multilateral development banks, and markets.
The Executive Board's discussion has reconfirmed the broad consensus reached on various elements of the PSI at its last meeting, including program standards and conditionality, Board reviews and involvement, and transparency. Directors reiterated the importance of ensuring that the PSI, as implemented, remains a voluntary, demand-driven instrument supported by strong country ownership. Directors also reiterated that the PSI should serve as a complement to, and not a substitute for, PRGF financing, including low-access PRGF arrangements. In addition, Directors noted that agreement on the proposed shocks window within the PRGF, based on a decision that will be proposed in the next few days, will—along with the PSI decided today—constitute an integral element in the series of decisions that the Fund is taking to support its low-income members.
Directors agreed that, to assess the implementation of a member's program under a PSI, program reviews will normally be scheduled semi-annually. Limited flexibility would be allowed in the timing of these reviews, and the Board would conduct reviews irrespective of the status or prospects of program implementation. Directors welcomed the possibility of returning to an uncompleted review during a limited time period, and agreed that a PSI should automatically lapse in the event that two consecutive scheduled reviews are not completed. While supporting these proposals, a few Directors reiterated their earlier arguments for greater flexibility in the timing of reviews, including to modify program targets. Directors also reiterated their understanding that an on-track PSI could provide the basis for rapid access to PRGF resources through a new shocks window in the event of a shock.
Directors noted that the provision of timely and accurate information from the member with a PSI would be an essential basis for the Fund's assessments. The procedures and safeguards within member countries would play the primary role in ensuring that appropriate data are provided to the Fund. Directors agreed that a framework for dealing with possible cases of misreporting is necessary to safeguard the integrity of IMF assessments under the PSI. They supported a misreporting framework for the PSI that is an abridged and simplified version of the misreporting framework applicable in the context of the use of Fund resources.
Directors considered that, to help ensure ownership of policies, the authorities' poverty reduction strategy should be a basis for PSI program targets and structural reforms. They therefore welcomed the proposed link between the PRS process and the PSI. Some Directors suggested in this context that staff examine the scope for further streamlining the PRS process in relation to the PSI and the PRGF.
Directors adopted an amendment to the Fund's transparency policy decision in order to establish that publication of PSI documents will be voluntary but presumed, and that the publication regime for the PSI effectively will mirror that governing PRGF-related documents.
Finally, Directors supported a review of the experience with the PSI after three years, although many Directors noted that a sunset clause could have been included. The staff have carefully noted Directors' useful comments on the modalities for implementation of the PSI, which they will take into account in preparing the operational Guidance Note for staff.

Within days of the NSW government passing controversial legislation severely cutting back the rights and entitlements of workers injured at work, a fork lift tipped over at Sydney markets killing the driver.
It was one more statistic for the bookkeepers at WorkCover. Their latest annual statistical bulletin records 139 deaths related to work in 2008/09 – 75 killed in the workplace, 24 from diseases as a result of employment and 40 while the person was driving to or from work.
Workplace fatalities were up 42 per cent on the previous year. Deaths among workers aged under 25 were up 25 per cent, mostly in vehicle accidents. But overall deaths in the workplace are well down on 10 and 20 years ago.
In 2008/09 more than 133,000 workplace injuries were reported to WorkCover.
The good news is that major injuries have declined steadily over the previous 10 years. Overall payouts for injured workers were well down on previous years. Claims for permanent disability were down 42 per cent on 10 years earlier.
So while the government has been insisting it cut back workers compensation as payouts are out of control, claims for workers compensation are actually on the way down.
Yet the O'Farrell government has brought in a series of cutbacks to the workers compensation scheme that will hurt some of the most vulnerable members of our society.
The new scheme, which is retrospective in that it applies to claims made before the laws were passed, caps weekly compensation payments at five years for all but the most severely injured workers. There is a time limit on the payment of medical expenses.
Fewer people will be eligible for lifetime and lump sum payments because the threshold for serious injury is increased to 30 per cent "whole person impairment." A worker whose foot was amputated would not meet this new threshold.
A fierce fightback by firemen and lawyers managed to force some concessions. Firemen and paramedics were included at the last minute in the professions exempted from the cutbacks such as police. Some claims for injury during driving to and from work were reinstated.
Lawyers warned the changes would hurt the most vulnerable members of the community. Australian Lawyers Alliance NSW president Jnana Gumbert said the changes will throw many work accident victims into great financial difficulty and hardship.
"It is simply not true that payments to workers need to be reined in as they had gotten out of hand. The truth is that the Global Financial Crisis and poor handling of claims by insurers are the main reasons behind the financial bleeding of the system. Once lump sum damages claims were mostly replaced with weekly payments in 2002, it was inevitable that the annual cost of the scheme would eventually blow out" she said.

Does the Vatican have some people in mind to replace Francis George when he retires as Archbishop of Chicago? There's no official word about anything, but Michael Sneed of the Chicago Sun-Times reported this week there are rumors of two people on the Vatican's "short list", including a native of Chicago's south side.
According to Sneed's column, the two individuals being considered for the position of Archbishop of Chicago are Wilton Gregory, who is already Archbishop of Atlanta, Georgia; and Blase Cupich, who is the bishop of Spokane, Washington. Whether either of them are actually on the "short list" may not be known for some time. Cardinal George submitted his resignation letter when he turned 75 in 2012, but has yet to hear anything back from the Vatican. Since there is no immediate need to name a successor, it may be years before the Vatican goes about choosing a replacement. Last year, Cardinal Dolan noted that Cardinal Francis George has "no plans to retire soon", although reports state that it should take around five months to name a replacement, once the Vatican begins the process of vetting candidates.
In the meantime, let's take a look at the two names that are allegedly on their "short list"
Wilton Gregory was born in Chicago in 1947, and would be the second native Chicagoan (the first was Francis George himself) to serve as Archbishop of Chicago, if he was chosen for the post. He would also be the first black Archbishop of Chicago. He received his first communion in 1959, and was ordained a priest in 1973. Gregory served as a priest in Glenview at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, taught at Saint Mary of the Lake Seminary, and served as a Master of Ceremonies under both Cardinals John Cody and Joseph Bernardin. In 1983, he was elevated to bishop and served as an Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago for 10 years. In 1993, he was appointed the seventh Bishop of Belleville, Illinois (overseeing the southern portion of the state) and served in that position for another 10 years, until 2004. As one of his last episcopal appointments before his death, Pope John Paul II announced that Bishop Gregory would become the seventh Archbishop of Atlanta on December 9, 2004. He was installed on January 17, 2005, and has served in that position ever since. He has also served as president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) from 2001 to 2004, and is member of the Board of Trustees at The Catholic University of America. In 2002, he was chosen as Time Magazine's Person of the Week.
Blase Cupich, the second name supposedly under consideration, is not a native Chicago but he does hail from the Midwest. Cupich was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1949. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1975. He then served as as both associate pastor at St. Margaret Mary Church and an instructor at Pope Paul VI High School in Omaha until 1978. He completed his graduate studies at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. In 1979, and became an instructor at Creighton University in 1980. Following this, he served as secretary of the nunciature to the United States until 1987. Cupich also served as a parish priest, and was pastor of St. Mary Church in Bellevue from 1987 to 1989, and St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Omaha from 1997 to 1998. In 1998, he was elevated to bishop and appointed as the seventh Bishop of Rapid City, South Dakota, by Pope John Paul II. In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Bishop Cupich as Bishop of Spokane, Washington. One issue Cupich has championed is universal health care for Washington state. He pushed for Catholic Charities and the state's health care services to enroll all uninsured residents in "affordable health care". Cupich believes this is consistent with the church's teaching on respect for human life. "People should have access to affordable health care in order to live a full life", he noted.
Whether Bishop Cupich or Archbishop Gregory are even under consideration remains to be seen. But if they are, articles like this can give us a brief glimpse into their backgrounds and priorities as a bishop. Whenever Cardinal George is eventually replaced, let's pray that the Vatican will make the right choice for Chicagoans. The next Archbishop of Chicago could have a landmark tenure, in more ways that one.

My Favorite Recipes: 2013
Yesterday, I shared the Top Ten recipes of 2013 on Eat. Drink. Love.. Those recipes were the most popular recipes on the blog this year. Today, on this very last day of 2013, I wanted to share my personal favorite recipes that I have posted since I started blogging!
When you have a food blog, you are always trying to come up with new recipes. This often means that you don't get to repeat too many recipes. However, there are a number of recipes that I have posted that my husband and I make on a regular basis or that were just a personal favorite to me that I will make again.
(From left to right down each row)
Crock Pot Ranch Chicken Tacos: Not only is this the most popular recipe on this blog, but it is a definite favorite in my house and we make it twice a month, sometimes more. It is super easy to make with the crockpot and the chicken has such great flavor. Though we usually make tacos with the chicken, I have also been making my own burrito bowls with it a la Chipotle.
Baked Parmesan Chicken: This is another chicken recipe we make at least once a month. It's also very simple to make so my husband has no problem prepping it if I am running home late from work. Although it's baked, you still get a nice crunch from the panko bread crumbs and Parmesan. It's also very kid-friendly. You could make them into chicken strips for the kiddos!
Berry and Mascarpone Crostini: I'm not sure if my favorite thing about this crostini is the photos or the taste. I'll go with the taste. This berry and mascarpone crostini is such a pretty little summer appetizer and has some of my favorite things with crusty bread, mascarpone cheese, berries, and a drizzle of honey!
Apple Pumpkintini: I make a lot of drinks for this blog and of all of them, this martini is probably my favorite. It tastes like fall with apple cider and pumpkin puree and a hint of vanilla! I could drink hundreds of these.
Spicy Black Bean Burgers: We like to make burgers at home on Saturday nights, but I am not a big beef eater so I often make these black bean burgers for myself. I make a double batch at a time and wrap each up patty individually and stick them into freezer bags so I can take just one at a time.
Irish Cream No-Bake Cheesecake: Oh Lordy. This is the no-bake cheesecake that started them all and it is still both mine and my husband's favorite. In fact, he calls them a "revelation". I don't disagree.
Stovetop Chicken Enchiladas: These are the enchiladas that finally got my husband to eat enchiladas. These are super yummy and easy to make and you can make them right on the stovetop!
Crockpot Pot Roast: You know I love anything I can make in the slow cooker. This pot roast is another favorite of ours and it's another recipe my husband can prep on his own. This recipe results in the most tender pot roast and the tastiest gravy!
Easy Tomato Sauce: Any family recipe I post on this blog is obviously a favorite. This tomato sauce is a happy medium between making sauce from scratch and using the canned stuff. We don't do the bottled stuff in this house. I make it all of the time and it freezes great for quick weeknight meals or homemade pizza.
Raspberry Peach Lemonade: We love this lemonade! I make it continuously during the summer! Nothing beats homemade lemonade!
Emergency Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies: Can I get an Amen?
Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes: Duh.
Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts: These doughnuts are so fabulous. My husband who usually dislikes pumpkin also really enjoyed these. I will definitely be making these every fall!
30-minute Chicken Tortilla Soup: My most favorite soup ever! I make this soup often and pile on warm tortilla chips, avocado, cheese, sour cream, and cilantro. It's really filling too!
Copycat P.F. Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps: These lettuce wraps are my favorite appetizer and these are so easy to make at home. They make for a great low carb meal and are so tasty!

AGI-Shorewood's next-generation technology utilizes an in-line printing process, which helps users to apply reflective designs in a single process. Hence, it is highly cost-effective than multi-step processes like hot foil stamping, metalized transfer or metalized polyester. Thus by eliminating additional steps, refleXions packaging technology decreases the cost of reflective designs and enhances speed to market. The technology also enables selective application of metallic details to reflective designs. This produces high reflectivity areas and brighter white areas. This enables pure metals like silver to be overprinted in certain areas with transparent colors.
Some consumer goods companies are unwilling to use films on their packaging due to high costs and the restrictions of high speed filling lines. With the launch of AGI-Shorewood's technology, the consumer product manufacturers have found a solution that will help improve their packaging and attract consumers by providing excellent shelf appeal.
VP of AGI-Shorewood's Creative Services, Duncan Watson, stated that the company's proprietary next-generation packaging technology significantly expands the design options of its customers by combining manufacturing technology and creativity for branding excellence as well as operations efficiencies. Watson also added that the introduction of refleXions shows the company's commitment to develop ground-breaking technology to meet customers' need for economical, efficient production cycles with various design possibilities.

The $100 Masters Degree From Udacity
mikejuk writes "In an interview with Udacity founder Sebastian Thrun, it was revealed that he hopes to offer a Masters degree for only $100, and is close to offering a full computer science degree. 'There are unfortunately some rough edges between our fundamental class CS101 and the next class up, when this is done I believe we can get an entire computer science education completely online and free and I think this is the first time this has happened in the history of humanity.' The latest course from Udacity is on statistics, and he is hoping to top the 160,000 sign up for his first online class on AI. It is also hoped to be the first class where students can visit a testing center to get their achievments formally certified."

Pugs are so cute but so they all have gas problems? If so how do you control it? Gas pills?

Quality food.
No table scraps.
Good food.
My dog had this promblem.
Dont feed it wet food, try dry food.
Do not give Pugs human food because they all do have a problem with flatulence. Find a good grade of food that does not give you Pug gas and stay with that food.
Good food
My dog had this promblem?
not many pugs have gas problems
it could be the food you are freeding them
try changing the food type
and see fi that helps
if not i would try the pills
Curtail is the doggy version of Beano, it works great.
Use a high quality (no corn) dog food.
Try filtered water. I don't know why, but it works sometimes.
My sister's pug has a gas problem, he could clear a room! I agree with previous answers that maybe better quality food could help, my sister feeds him cheap food and I believe thats why he has gas so bad. I also think cheap food causes gas in other dogs also, especially puppies.
The first thing you should know is that pugs do have gas problems. What I have found out is that if you put a cork up their ass that does not do anything, they just explode. What you should do is take a gas-ex pill and break it in half, put it in the dog dish and that minimizes the amount of gas that the pug has.

Narrator Shannon McManus keeps up a thrilling pace with her performance of this series about seven warring dragon tribes locked in an ancient battle over a lost treasure. The secret society Talons of Peace plans to end the fighting by raising five dragonets from different tribes to fulfill a prophecy of peace. However, the dragonets leave to look for their original home and are captured by the SkyWing queen. McManus avoids getting in the book's way with unnecessary frills and goes straight to the action, detailing the dragonets' attempts to escape with breathless excitement.
A thrilling new series soars above the competition and redefines middle-grade fantasy fiction for a new generation!
The seven dragon tribes have been at war for generations, locked in an endless battle over an ancient, lost treasure. A secret movement called the Talons of Peace is determined to bring an end to the fighting, with the help of a prophecy - a foretelling that calls for great sacrifice.
Five dragonets are collected to fulfill the prophecy, raised in a hidden cave and enlisted, against their will, to end the terrible war. But not every dragonet wants a destiny. And when the select five escape their underground captors to look for their original homes, what has been unleashed on the dragon world may be far more than the revolutionary planners intended.

Janzer, B; Steinmann-Zwicky, M (2001). Cell-autonomous and somatic signals control sex-specific gene expression in XY germ cells of Drosophila. Mechanisms of Development, 100(1):3-13.
View at publisher
When XX germ cells develop in a testis they become spermatogenic. Thus, somatic signals determine the sex of genetically female germ cells. In contrast, XY germ cells experimentally transferred to an ovary do not differentiate oogenic cells. Because such cells show some male characteristics when analyzed in adults, it was assumed that XY germ cells autonomously become spermatogenic. Recently, however, evidence showing that a female soma feminizes XY germ cells was reported. The conclusion was drawn that the sex determination of XY germ cells is dictated by the sex of the soma. We monitored the fate of XY germ cells placed in a female environment throughout development. Here we report that such germ cells respond to both cell-autonomous and somatic sex-determining signals, depending on the developmental stage. Analyzing the expression of sex-specific molecular markers, we first detected autonomous male-specific gene expression in XY germ cells embedded in female embryos and larvae. At later stages, however, we found that sex-specific regulation of gene expression within XY germ cells is influenced by somatic gonadal cells. After metamorphosis, XY germ cells developing in a female soma start expressing female-specific and male-specific markers. Transcription of female-specific genes is maintained, while that of male-specific genes is later repressed. We show that in such XY germ cells, the female-specific gene Sex-lethal (Sxl) is activated. Within the germline, Sxl expression is required for the activation of a further female-specific gene and the repression of male-specific genes. We thus report for the first time the existence of downstream targets of the gene Sxl in the germline.

When I suspend Ubuntu I can't get out of the suspend screen. Yes, I know there are ways to fix this but that would take forever to fix. Is there a way to disable the ability to suspend?
To a point you could control this in policykit, in
The relevant entries would be
In that case editing the line
It's probable that in 13.10 policykit is no longer used for this so those edits would have no effect. In that case you could figure out how hibernate has been disabled & do the same for suspend or cause power management to inhibit suspend altogether.
The latter could be done as such -
copy & paste this in -
Then on keyboard go
to save & exit nano
Finish with -
That should be easy!

SOLITAIRE - A Backcountry Skiing, Snowboarding, and Telemark Film from Sweetgrass Productions
In the high desert of South America, winter takes hold, devouring bleached bones and abandoned shacks. Into these most inhospitable of lands, a handful of drifters emerge from the whiteout, ready to cast their lot on forsaken peaks both merciless and magnificent.
Venturing beyond the frontiers of most mountain films, Solitaire is born in the spires of Argentina's legendary Las Lenas, where a lonely two-year journey begins through an abandoned world, wandering the length of a continent from Peru's Cordillera Blanca to Chilean Patagonia. Lost in the winds of snowbound badlands and the blizzards of primordial forests; seen from a horse's saddle and a paraglider's wings; ridden on ski and board and telemark... Solitaire fuses western-inspired tales of backcountry gambles into landscapes never before visited on film.

It was on August 15th 1999, one year after the Omagh bombing, that I stood with my wife and children outside a mini-market in Oldcastle, County Meath to observe a minute's silence. I remember feeling slightly uncomfortably British: that, and vaguely ashamed of such self-consciousness when I was meant to be thinking only of the bereaved. Today, Sean Hoey, was acquitted of committing the atrocity. The BBC's Kevin Connolly describes what the judge said:
"As we listened, it became clear slowly that [he] was not satisfied with the case. There was strongly worded criticism of how the police had collected, labelled and handled evidence. There was elegantly expressed scepticism at the extent to which scientists have validated a technique called Low Copy Number DNA - essentially the belief that workable evidence can be gathered from microscopic particles of material. Above all there was thinly veiled judicial anger that two police witnesses had 'beefed up' their statements - had lied, in plain English."

[ED: This story courtesy of the Underground's Director in Charge of Montana Fishing and Intellectually Challenged Whitefish. Enjoy.]
Montana's Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks requires new Conservation and Fishing licenses March 1. It's as official and appropriate an opening of the new fishing season as anyone around Missoula requires.
And March 1 really is auspicious; if it weren't for televised sports, the freezing, low-light months from November through February would terminate all habitation here.
A few local fly fishermen seek relief through winter road trips to tailwaters: the Big Horn and Missouri.
In fact, Montana still preserves a vestigial Opening Day – the hard-wired third Saturday of May small creek opener. Still, hardly anyone notices; the larger rivers — the fabled magazine waters — have been open to year-long fishing as long as memory serves.
The Paradise Valley spring creeks are very fishable by President's Day, but with egg patterns: tantamount to ordering a slawdog at a five-star restaurant. [ED: what's wrong with that?]
By the first of March spring is a foregone conclusion. Ice has largely left the rivers; the new fishing season is at hand.
Me and the (Apparently) Gullible Whitefish
I've been prowling one of the local rivers the past several weeks. The first trip was mainly to break out Christmas loot. A pristine Rio Gold line spooled on a new Waterworks Purist ULA reel proved a high dollar mismatch against the first fish of the year- the always eager Rocky Mountain whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni).
Several whities and a couple extremely surprised rainbows ate stonefly nymphs, and as far as I'm concerned, the new gear was fully amortized that day.
Normally I wouldn't ramble on about Spring Training nymphing but an extraordinary event occurred during the first outing on the new license- the same fish ate the same fly almost immediately after being caught and released.
Whitefish do suffer a certain sameness. Their coloration is remarkable in its drab uniformity. Once you look aft of their rosy gill plates, the word "gray" fully describes them. They also tend to aggregate in groups of about the same size.
So how did the instant recidivist reveal himself? Specimen A had a heron strike mark on the right side of his back just behind the dorsal fin. (You don't catch fish with strike marks on the head — they become ex-fish). He was roughly 11-inches in length.
After swinging in and releasing the fish, without moving my feet, I maneuvered a couple of drifts through the same slot.
On about the third cast, Fish B, bearing the tell-tale divot, vigorously ate the fly.

While visiting my family in Minneapolis in September 2011, my daughter and I decided to do a photoshoot for her website http://creativelyclean.com to update the pages . What a great time we had at the Lake Harriet Rose Garden and Peace Garden on an overcast misty day. Perfect lighting for her GREEN CLEANING image!!!
She went crazy cleaning everything from the forest to the wooden bridge. Very few people were crazy enough to go to the park in the drizzle except this Oregonian and her nature loving daughter!
As a legally blind photographer and artist, Sandra's style is unique in that she relies on her Canon DSLR cameras and a powerful arsenal of lenses to bring 'focus' back into her world, and provide reference material for her art and jewelry designs. Sandra can see only through a small tunnel in one eye, therefore carries the recognizable white blind cane to help find the bumps in the road ahead and give her the freedom to move around in public. People usually spot the 'pandarazzi' with her huge camera and cane and clear a wide path for this unconventional photographer. A conversation starter wherever she roams! The highlight of each travel day is when Sandra uploads her memory cards, spilling over with photo treasures, onto the computer. She is then able to discover details not seen with the naked eye on a magnified computer monitor.

A campaign by the Mail to raise funds for the upkeep of war memorials in the district continues to gain support in the community.
Last year the Mail launched a campaign to raise funds to help with the maintenance of war memorials in the district.
We hope that, with your support, we will also be able to raise enough money to help the Royal British Legion to commemorate the anniversary of the beginning of the First World War in 2014 in our district.
The campaign was launched with the support of the Royal British Legion, Harborough Council and Market Harborough Building Society. The building society donated £100 to kick-start the campaign.
Mark Robinson, chief executive of the society, said: "War memorials are such a focal point for communities and it is really important that they are kept in a good condition in order to honour those who have fallen during war."
There is a collection tin in the Mail's office in Northampton Road, Harborough, open 9am-5pm on weekdays.
People can also donate by paying in cash or cheques, made payable to Harborough Mail/Harborough War Memorial Fund, over the counter at any branch of Market Harborough Building Society.
The account details are Harborough Mail/Harborough War Memorial Fund, sort code 20-49-08, account number is 70608306, reference number 09004285209.
