Exports sales make up over 90-95% of our core business and as such we are well versed in the processes involved in the shipping of vehicles and equipment round the world.
It is necessary for most exports to require an Export Licence as issued by BIS (Department for Business, Innovation & Skills).
In particular it is necessary for customers purchasing ex. military vehicles to apply for an export licence being specific to the items being exported if the items are being exported from the U.K.
Introduction to Licensing - Video Release from BIS
The video below has been produced by BIS to aid customer's in understanding how important it is to have the correct export licence (where applicable) for Surplus Military Vehicles and Equipment.
EXPORT LICENCE.... What to do? (Don't worry it's not that difficult)
Goods listed on our website as "NLR - No Licence Required are either civilian machines or have been deemed by BIS as not requiring a licence by virtue of having submitted either a rating or an application for a licence.
Any surplus military vehicle which is considered to be "Specially Designed for Military Use" must be shipped on either an "Open General Export Licence (OGEL)" or a "Standard Individual Export Licence (SIEL)" depending on which country they are being sent to.
Surplus Military Goods which were "Specially Designed for Military Use" can be shipped overseas on and OGEL with the exception of the following countries as per the latest OGEL with the following exceptions as per (Schedule 2)
Goods falling within entry ML6 a. in Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Order, except:
This export authorisation is valid for exports to the following destinations:
All destinations other than in :
Afghanistan, Angola, Armenia, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burma (Myanmar), Burundi, China(PRC) (including Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Region), Croatia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Namibia, Nepal, Nigeria, North Korea, Occupied Palestinian Territories, Peru, Russia, Rwanda, Serbia and Montenegro, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Taiwan, Tanzania, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Yemen and Zimbabwe
To download the latest copy of the OGEL
All other countries listed in Schedule 2 will require a Full SIEL export licence for which the application forms (depending on whether you are an End User or Stockist) can be found following the link below:
Download End User Document | Download Stockist Document
Firstly when applying for an export licence, customers need to complete what is called an End User Agreement, a copy of which can be downloaded using the link above and which incorporates a checklist to aid in it's completion.
Once that has been completed simply submit it back to our office if we are applying for the licence on your behalf or submit it to BIS if you are applying independently for the licence.
The sequence of events is as follows:
Export licence applications generally take between 3-6 weeks to be processed and approved.
Some countries are under an EU embargo and as such will not be granted an export licence unless it can be proven that the vehicles are for Humanitarian Aid Support e.g. UN Aid Work.
For more information on EU Embargoed Countries.....
From June 4th 2010 we can now ship EU / NATO force military vehicles as well as UK owned under an amended OGEL (Open general Export Licence - Surplus Military Vehicles).
Please note that this licence is only applicable to vehicles and equipment not listed in Schedule 1 of the licence for shipping to all countries other than those listed in schedule 2 of this licence or which are currently Embargo'd and for which a full export licence will be required.

Trying to keep costs down as low as possible.
Anyone keen to show their wares. Nappies, clothes, toys, anything kid related
If you were coming what would you like to see
Any ideas of big businesses who might be happy to show their stuff, give out freebies and maybe throw in a bit of sponsorship?

Johann Rupert Quits Richemont as CEO, But 'Remains the Boss'
It's not entirely unexpected that Johann Rupert is stepping down as Chief Executive of Richemont.
He took on the role in 2010 on a temporary basis after Norbert Platt left for health reasons. Back then Mr. Rupert, now aged 62, said it was only a temporary measure and he would stay there until the economy improved.
In the two years he's been at the helm, he's overseen stellar performance, with sales rising from €5.18 billion in 2010 to €8.87 billion in 2012. Profit has also surged, from €600 million two years ago, to €1.54 billion last year as Richemont rode the luxury boom.
But what happens next?
Has Mr. Rupert seen the peak of the luxury boom and is leaving the scene before the downturn?

Request for a preliminary ruling from the Nejvyšší správní soud (Czech Republic) lodged on 16 April 2019 — BONVER WIN, a. s. v Ministerstvo financí
(Case C-311/19)
Language of the case: Czech
Referring court
Nejvyšší správní soud
Parties to the main proceedings
Appellant: BONVER WIN, a. s.
Respondent: Ministerstvo financí
Questions referred
Does Article 56 et seq. of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union apply to national legislation (a binding measure of general application in the form of a municipal decree) prohibiting a certain service in part of one municipality, simply because some of the customers of a service provider affected by that legislation may come or do come from another Member State of the European Union?
If so, is a mere assertion of the possible presence of customers from another Member State sufficient to trigger the applicability of Article 56 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, or is the service provider obliged to prove the actual provision of services to customers who come from other Member States?
Is it of any relevance to the answer to the first question that:
(a) the potential restriction on the freedom to provide services is significantly limited in both geographical and substantive terms (potential applicability of a de minimis exception);
(b) it does not appear that the national legislation regulates in a different manner, in law or in fact, the position of entities providing services primarily to citizens of other Member States of the European Union, on the one hand, and that of entities focusing on a domestic clientele, on the other?

The House and Senate Armed Services committees have disregarded a veto threat from President Barack Obama, negotiating a deal to fund two engines for the Joint Strike Fighter, sources said Tuesday.
The "alternative engine" as it is known in defense circles, was one of the top issues facing conferees hammering out a final bill to authorize about $600 billion in defense spending for fiscal year 2010. The Pentagon has said it doesn't need the engines funded, and the president has threatened to veto the mammoth bill to govern defense spending in fiscal year 2010 if funding for the engine "would seriously disrupt the program."
In light of the president's public statement, the conference committee crafted an agreement that will still authorize full funding for the F-35 fighter jet, said a congressional aide.
Although the decision is a big win for General Electric – whose F-136 engine has long survived with congressional plus-ups – its competitor Pratt & Whitney still has a chance to be the lone supplier of engines for the fifth-generation fighter.
The final decision is expected later this week, when the leaders of the House and Senate appropriations committees craft the conference report for the defense appropriations bill.
The Joint Strike Fighter program is among the Pentagon's biggest purchases – at an overall cost of about $300 billion for about 2,500 jets for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. The engine program alone is worth $100 billion.
Tuesday's decision was not a complete surprise. Three out of four leaders of the armed services committee including Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.) and Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) supported funding two engines. Only Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who has denounced funding for the alternative engine as pork, had strong objections.
The Senate's version of the defense authorization bill originally included funding for both engines, but it was stripped out by an amendment approved by a voice vote during debate on the Senate floor.
The House is expected to vote on the bill as early as Thursday.

Massimo Bottura Turns Olympic Leftovers Into Nutritious Meals
The head chef of three-Michelin-starred Osteria Francescana is feeding Rio de Janeiro.
Food wastage is a massive issue that's long been the bane of both developed and developing countries. Brazil alone is said to throw out enough to feed 7.2 million hungry people in a nation where 21.4 per cent of residents live below the poverty line. With the Olympics in full swing, the issue is even more pressing – especially with an additional 11,000 starving athletes to feed.
Things have thankfully taken a different tune this year. Massimo Bottura, head chef of three-Michelin-starred restaurant Osteria Franscescana has stepped in to set up RefettoRio – a zero-waste soup kitchen that turns all surplus food from the Olympic Village into free meals for the city's poorest residents.
That's at least one more good thing to emerge out of the 2016 Olympics, besides Singapore finding a swimming champ in Joseph Schooling.
The venture is a joint initiative withGastromotiva, a Brazilian organisation founded by American architect David Hertz to train and equip the underprivileged with hirable kitchen skills. And indeed, most working at RefettoRio are graduates from this program.
But Bottura is quick to add in an interview with Npr.org that, "This is not a charity project, but a cultural one. It's involving architects, artists, designer[s], to create a space full of beauty and culture."
And the proof of ethos is, quite literally, in the pudding. Bottura creates enough nutritious three course meals to feed about 100 people each day - and bland, uninspiring nosh that one would associate with large scale cookouts and charity soup kitchens is nowhere to be seen. Think along the lines of fresh salads and hearty soups, made from produce that would've otherwise been chucked into the bin.
"So we are going to get the overripe banana, the **** mango or milk that was almost expired," Bottura tells NPR.org. "And we show people what we can do with that - something amazing, something bright, something full of hope."
Bottura's work in the Brazilian capital, while lauded, is not his first. It's an adaption from a similar initiative in 2015 where he converted an abandoned theatre in Milan into a soup kitchen. But as the 2016 Olympics is drawing to a close on 21st August, plans are in place for RefettoRio to receive leftovers from restaurants. Already, the space is seeing chefs from around the city and even region taking over on a nightly basis.
"Now that I am considered the most influential chef in the world, my voice is screaming instead of whispering," says Bottura. There's no better cause worth throwing his Michelin-weight behind.

Amathes needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 462 designs submitted by 101 freelance designers.
CPRS which stands for "Comprehensive Payment Recovery Service" (don't spell out company name)
CPRS is a full service post payment audit recovery firm. In essence, we work with major companies to recover lost payments. Our services are comprehensive in that we examine the entire procure to payment process. (For example, we recover funds that may have been lost due to duplicate payments, missed volume discounts, etc..) Our company prides itself in 4 things:
1.) TALENT- we have the most experienced auditors in the industry, hands down.
2.) We deliver results- Due to our auditor's experience and attention to detail we recover more money for our clients.
3.) Excellent Relationship Management- our relationships with our clients and their vendors is of upmost importance and they are treated accordingly.
4.) Integrity- CPRS is in an industry where competitors try to "get in and get out" with the most money possible with no regard for what is best for the customer. CPRS, on the other hand, is in a class all its own. We are long term in focus and always do right by the customer to maintain and nurture mutually beneficial relationships.
We aim to be the most highly regarded, respected and sought after post audit recovery company. Our target audience is well established and is comprised of CFOs, accounting controllers and high level account payable managers. These people tend to be business savvy, meticulous and detail oriented.
Edited New Request! Prior to selecting a winner, my boss requested to see some designs that either surround or actually encapsulate our name- CPRS. You can also leave out the tagline. In particular, she wants to see something with diamonds, stars, global sphere and/or something ropelike (by all means not all of them, just one). I attached her drawings in the brief under a pdf titled "MockUps". This is not a change in our overall direction, but just one last request for her to see in order to feel she has done her due diligence. Thank you sooo much to anyone willing to throw some designs out there that comply with this request. As you go for it, it would also be nice to see things that comply but aren't too literal, if possible.
The Logo should exude an image that is consistent with the 4 things we most pride ourselves in:
1. Talent / Experienced Professionals
2. We Deliver Results
3. Excellent Relationship Management
4. Integrity
BONUS- We are willing to pay an extra fee to have the winning designer create a business card with the new logo. Designers that are ready and willing to do this are a plus!

Jekyll 2.0: Embodying the Gothic Text
At the end of November 2012, I was lucky enough to be part of a team that won a commission through the innovative REACT Books&Print Sandbox call for early 2013. I'll be working as lead academic partner with Bristol-based creative company, SlingShot, to create a pervasive media experience that draws on the narrative and themes of Stevenson's gothic masterpiece.
Humanity 2.0 is an understanding of the human condition that no longer takes the 'normal human body' as given. On the one hand, we're learning more about our continuity with the rest of nature—in terms of the ecology, genetic make-up, evolutionary history. On this basis, it's easy to conclude that being 'human' is overrated. But on the other hand, we're also learning more about how to enhance the capacities that have traditionally marked us off from the rest of nature.
—Steve Fuller, Auguste Comte Chair in Social Epistemology, Warwick.
The core of our project draws on the fundamental questions of Jekyll and Hyde: What makes us human? Do our minds control our bodies or are we shaped by our urges, compulsions and appetites? Will technology radically transform us into a new organism, 'Humanity 2.0'? Such questions are nothing new: during the 19th century, the cultural implications of emerging theories of identity and the dominance of science were explored by numerous works of literature. Drawing on this tradition, our project transforms this reading into play, to create a pervasive gaming experience that links individuals' bio-data with one such text, Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde (1886), in order to stimulate participants into considering the condition of their own humanity.

When actors were auditioning for roles in the British SF comedy Red Dwarf: Series 1, Danny John-Jules tried out for the role of the Cat. Now, the Cat is vain and greedy, but he's the epitome of coolness as well. Nothing flusters him. Even when hunting a predatory shape-changing mutant, the Cat is confident and suave (and always ready for sex, even with the pretty stranger who mysteriously appeared out of nowhere).
John-Jules showed up half an hour late for his audition, but didn't realize that he was late. As a result, he wasn't at all concerned or bothered by it, and the producers decided right away that he was perfect for the Cat's role.
In contrast, I recently read the blog of a writer who had signed up with a vanity press. Not only did this press provide no distribution – which is normal – it made her job of selling copies even more difficult. That's not so normal. Nor is it customary to see a writer telling people that if they buy her book,
If you live in Nevada, not only will I personally come and sign a copy of the book, but, you will get a special, one of a kind, custom made, handmade gift of your choice. These value from $5.00 to $150.00 (Remember, your choice!!!) Not only that, but you will receive a coupon for 20% off of {author's next book – title redacted – Marian} when it is released at Christmas time.
Promoting one's book is an excellent thing. I read a great post by Maria Zannini on the subject, and I recommend the strategies in J. A. Konrath's The Newbie's Guide to Publishing. But what I read crossed the line from promotion to desperation. Offering incentive after incentive to buy a book comes off to me like bribing the reader. It might also imply that the book has little merit by itself, hence all the freebies that come with it.
And we won't get into the financial costs (or the personal safety aspect) of driving through a large state to sign books for strangers.
Desperation scares people off. Whether those people are potential dates, employers, agents or readers, they can tell when someone's coming on too strong, and they run. We're attracted to confidence and coolness, not to insecurity or need.
The topic also reminded me of turn-offs in query letters, such as writers claiming that they wouldn't ask for an advance. To the writers, this might seem accomodating, a way of showing that they're not demanding or greedy. To the agent or editor, though, it seems desperate. Someone who is willing to give their rights of publication away for free doesn't place much value on those rights, so why should the agent or editor value them?
This business could make anyone feel desperate, so that's normal. As long as we don't show it.

Cha-ching! So true and once again you've hit the nail on the literary head!

Uhm...what are the homemade gifts?
But seriously, not only is the desperation a turn-off, there's so much potential danger here...

Thanks for the shout out, Marian. Glad you found it useful.
I really like the story of Cat. It's a perfect example of confidence.
As for the desperate writer... (shakes head)
Publication isn't for everyone.

Hey Tasha,
The link to the gifts is here.
And I hope the writer changed her mind about traveling to sign books. She could always just ask people to mail the books to her, to be signed and returned with postage paid.

Hey Marge,
Thanks! Glad you liked the post.
There are other inadvisable desperate actions I've read about (like waiting outside an agent's office for the agent to leave at the end of the day), but this one could expose the writer to so much worse.

Hi Maria,

Passover Cooking Day With Nina
Yesterday was a day well spent. As always, when my friend Nina comes over to cook, her creativity and knowledge never cease to amaze me. Nina said she would teach me to make filled individual rolls, like egg rolls with a meat filling. The idea is ingenious. Everyone loves that famous Passover pie of meat, mashed potatoes, and parsley, Megina. [click to continue…]

BOULDER, CO - December 11, 2006
Webroot Software, Inc., the leading provider of anti-spyware software for consumer, enterprise and SME markets, today announced the availability of a new SME product through its global distributor, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), as well as its Channel Edge partners. Webroot® SME Security is an Internet-based threat solution that combines best-of-breed anti-virus technology from Sophos® with the award-winning anti-spyware protection of Webroot® Spy Sweeper® Enterprise. Webroot SME Security is designed to protect small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) from spyware and viruses, and represents a major new source of revenue for Webroot's partners.
Webroot SME Security provides several efficiencies that alleviate installation and support expenditures for its Channel Edge partners and Ingram Micro resellers. The solution installs as a single desktop agent quickly and easily, just like Spy Sweeper® Enterprise, with no additional configuration required during setup. Webroot SME Security also provides continuous real-time protection through frequent distribution of spyware and virus definitions. New definition updates are distributed multiple times per day. In addition, Webroot SME Security has been carefully tested against other desktop security applications to ensure cooperation among products.
"Ingram Micro customers will find Webroot SME Security, with its installation simplicity and sophisticated feature set, an attractive solution for their core client base," said Jodi Honore, vice president, vendor management, software, Ingram Micro. "Small-to-medium-sized businesses are very aware of online threats to their business and productivity. The addition of Webroot SME Security to our portfolio will provide another alternative for solution providers to be able to design and implement the best security solutions for their end-user customers."
Earlier this year, Webroot found that SMEs are especially vulnerable to malicious attacks often due to their limited IT resources and lack of network security [see Webroot's "Spyware & Small Business" guide, available for download at www.webroot.com/smbfacts. Webroot committed to work with its Channel Edge partners to deliver desktop-level protection to this market segment; SME Security is further proof of Webroot's intention to continuously deliver on its promise. Its strategic distribution agreement with Ingram Micro will also help to more quickly extend this spyware and virus protection to SMEs.
"Throughout the development of this product, our goal was to deliver an efficient, easy-to-use and cost-effective solution that specifically addressed the security pain points as well as the resource limitations faced by SMEs," said C. David Moll, CEO of Webroot Software. "SME Security meets all such criteria and because of this, we believe our channel partners will reap significant financial benefits from the resale of this product."
Webroot is offering its Channel Edge partners SME Security training via its channel-specific Webinar Series. Webroot is also providing pre-sales and engineering support, a technical support hotline, access to sales and marketing materials, and sales tools via the Channel Edge Partner Portal.
As a vital link in the technology value chain, Ingram Micro creates sales and profitability opportunities for vendors and resellers through unique marketing programs, outsourced logistics services, technical support, financial services, and product aggregation and distribution. The company serves 140 countries and is the only global IT distributor with operations in Asia.

ETA: A title, for one–did you know that a definition of "web" is "a fabric, especially a fabric in the process of being woven"? Now I can say I've got a web on the loom and a UFO on the needles! I also forgot to include a totally cool weaving sample that Leslie-Ann (carpeyarnum wove for the store), details below!
SO, I ❤ weaving! I wear this thing ALL the TIME. And this whole simple woven wrap thing is making the rounds in Blogland. Laura generously and wisely offers up the sort of info you need to make a nice stole of your own. My interest in rigid heddle weaving started with Kirsten and Mary's beautiful pieces, with some help from the Rigid Heddle Looms group on Ravelry.
I finished a second piece, a simple scarf in Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool. It's a gift and I'm not sure I love how it came out. Using my favorite Willy-Nilly methodology, I bought three skeins and definitely anticipated having to purchase a fourth. Sure, I could have done the warp and weft calculations but when you're following the Willy-Nilly method…there's something so gratifying about NOT being fastidious with this, I feel like it sort of flies in the face of a well-established "weaverly" persona.
Leslie-Ann, a co-worker at Webs, is teaching a rigid-heddle class this summer and it's filling up like crazy. she weaves and/or designs a lot of the samples you see in the catalog and ads. She wove a sample for the class that is hanging in the store and it ROCKS. It's just plain ole' plain weave but check it out, it's so PLAID!
She used the gorgeous to begin with Misti Alpaca Handpaint Sock yarn, one skein of color #10. I've seen the sample sock we have an I hate to say, it doesn't come close to how cool this scarf is. I think this yarn was made to be woven, especially at this width. Since I'm a total weaving copy-cat, you can bet you'll be seeing a version of this project here. Thanks, Flip Loom early adopters!
My camera just doesn't do red, so this picture is sorta useless. Note the crispness of the fabric–I think I beat a little too enthusiastically and it ended up a little stiff, even post blocking. The silk really dominates here, and it's almost a little rough, much rougher than any knit-up piece I've ever felt in the Silky Wool. Not the soft drape-y wonder that is 2/14 Alpaca Silk. It's fantastic to rediscover yarns this way, I have to say.
Well, I've got to get back to my breakfast and Firefly…I'm finally watching it and it's AWESOME!

Vintage, Retro, Old School... or simply, "Hey, I remember that!" Designs with a nostalgic flavor go by many names, but are universally appealing. We start a new tutorial series today called Storybook Bedroom. It's sponsored by our creative friends at Moda Fabrics and features Lil' Rascals by Chloe's Closet. From a chubby-cheeked cowboy to a bespectacled pug dog to a mischievous monkey... the characters of Lil' Rascals are all up to something. Don't know about you, but I want to collect my graham crackers and milk, find my favorite picture book, and settle down for a much-needed afternoon nap. Over the next few weeks, we'll unveil eight tutorials to outfit a toddler's bedroom. We envisioned a boy's room, but this collection's soft color palette and playful designs would work for any lil' rascal in your life. Today's project: easy pillowcases sure to make everyone look forward to slipping into the land of nod.
Moda's Lil' Rascals by Chloe's Closet is available now in-stores and online. Check out the S4H Shopping Directory for our favorite online retailers.
Our full series includes today's fun pillowcases as well as: a bound and personalized blanket, pleated valance, decorative pennant banner, storybook bedside caddy, tufted floor pillow, twin-size bed quilt, and a custom ukulele throw pillow (you heard me right... a ukulele, and yes, we provide a free pattern).
At the end of the series, Moda will sponsor a generous Great Giveaway with fabric cuts and more. Plus, as a special bonus, we've composed our own story to go along with the adorable Lil' Rascals illustrations. You'll be able to download this exclusive, one-of-a-kind S4H Picture Book FREE , courtesy of Moda. We don't want to brag... but we think it just might become a bedtime favorite.... move over Goodnight Moon!
Sewing Tools You Need
- Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome Jem Gold 3)
- Any Serger - optional (we recommend the Janome Magnolia 7034D)
Fabric and Other Supplies
Fabric amounts shown are for ONE pillowcase:
- 1 yard of 44-45" wide fabric for the pillowcase body: we used Lil Rascals from Chloe's Closet for Moda Fabrics in Rascal Natural for one pillowcase and Kitty Yellow for the other pillowcase
NOTE: If your print has a strong horizontal motif, you might need 1¼ yard to make it all work.
- ⅓ yard of of 44-45" wide coordinating fabric for the pillowcase trim: we used Lil Rascals from Chloe's Closet for Moda Fabrics in Blanket Tan
NOTE: The cut is 9" wide so you could get away with ¼ yard, but your cuts would have to be exact; you'll be safe at ⅓ yard
- Scrap or ⅛ yard of 44-45" wide coordinating fabric for the pillowcase flange accent: we used Lil Rascals from Chloe's Closet for Moda Fabrics in Sugar & Spice Yellow
NOTE: You could also use a Honey Bun pre-cut if you have one
- All purpose thread to match fabrics
- See-through ruler
- Iron and ironing board
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Fabric pen or pencil
- Straight pins
- Seam gauge
- Tape measure
Getting Started
- From the fabric for the body of each pillowcase (Rascal Natural and Kitty Yellow in our samples), cut TWO 21" x 27" pieces.
NOTE: If you are using a directional print, your design should run horizontally along the 27" width.
- From the fabric for the pillowcase trim (Blanket Tan in our sample), cut ONE 9" x 41" piece.
NOTE: Again, check your print direction if necessary.
- From the fabric for the flange accent (Sugar & Spice Yellow in our sample), cut TWO strips 1½" x 21".
At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board
Attaching the flange and creating the pillowcase body
- Press the two flange strips in half lengthwise, wrong sides together. Once pressed, each strip is now ¾" wide.
- The flange in our sample is designed to show about ½" out from the seam between the trim and pillowcase body. This means we have to pay attention to where we position the flange. The folded strip should be ¼" from the raw edge (or a total of 1" from the fold to the raw edge) along each short side of each pillowcase body piece (the 21" side).
NOTE: We used scraps and so needed to use as little fabric as possible. If you have a bit more fabric, you could cut your strips a full 2". Folded in half, the strips would then be 1". You could exactly align the raw edges of the folded flange with the raw edge of each pillowcase body piece... instead of insetting ¼" as I did. With this method, after your ½" seam, you'd have a ½" reveal.
- Using a machine basting stitch, stitch each flange in place, staying within the ½" seam allowance.
- Place the two pillowcase body pieces (with the flanges basted in place) right sides together.
- Pin along both sides and across the bottom.
- Stitch both sides and across the bottom, using a ½" seam allowance.
- Zig zag, overcast or serge the raw edges of all the seam allowances so when the pillowcase is laundered these do not fray. We used a serger to finish our edges. For more information, see our article on machine sewn finishes.
- Turn the pillowcase right side out. Push out the trimmed corners from the inside to make nice, square corners on the outside. Use your finger or a blunt edge tool, like a large knitting needle or a chopstick. Press well.
Pillowcase trim
- Finish one long edge raw edge of the pillowcase trim piece with an overcast stitch, zig zag stitch or serger.
- Press a double-fold hem along this finished edge. To do this, turn up the finished edge ½" and press, then turn up another 4" and press again.
- Unfold the pressed hem. Your fold lines will remain.
- Fold the 9" x 41" trim piece in half, right sides together, so it is now: 9" x 20½".
- Pin in place securely along a ½" seam allowance line, and test to see if this 'trim circle' fits the pillowcase body by slipping the trim circle over the open end of the pillowcase. The open edge of the pillowcase body and the trim circle need to be a perfect match. If the trim circle seems a bit too big or too small, adjust your seam allowance accordingly.
- Using the appropriate seam allowance you tested above, stitch along the 9" raw edge. Press the seam allowance open.
- Re-fold the ½" first fold of the bottom hem. Re-press and pin in place.
- Edgestitch this part of the hem in place. It will become the finished edge inside your pillowcase.
Finish the pillowcase
- Again, slip your trim circle over the open end of your pillowcase body, right sides together, matching raw edges and aligning the trim's seam with one of the pillowcase body's side seams. You are matching the raw edge of the pillowcase opening with the raw edge of your trim piece. Pin all around.
NOTE: Here's another point to TEST your seam allowance. Place a few pins horizontally along the ½" seam line. Then, check from the right side to see if the flange reveal is really how you want it to be.
- Once you've tested and insured you have the proper seam allowance to give you the correct flange reveal, stitch all around the pillowcase opening, using a ½" seam allowance. Press the seam up towards the pillowcase trim.
- 'Re-fold' the remaining 4" of the trim's hem, following the pre-pressed line. This will bring the folded edge of the trim around to the inside of the pillowcase.
- The folded/edgestitched hem of the trim should neatly overlap the inside pillowcase/trim seam.
- Pin in place from the front.
- As you look at your pillowcase from the front, you should have 4" of trim showing from seam to folded edge.
- Topstitch ¼" in from the seam - on the trim side, to secure the trim's hem in place. Press well.
- Here's what your pillowcase trim should look like from the outside (left) and inside (right).

Asian stocks rose this month, with the benchmark index heading for its biggest gain in three years, as the US Federal Reserve unexpectedly maintained stimulus and data signaled that China's economy is strengthening.
Tencent Holdings Ltd (騰訊), Asia's biggest Internet company, gained 11 percent in Hong Kong this month to touch a record high, while Tokyo Electron Ltd surged 31 percent after Applied Materials Inc announced a plan to take over the Tokyo-based company. Acom Co soared 49 percent, spurring the consumer lender to the biggest gain on the Asian equities index, after a report said that Japan's non-bank loans to individuals are picking up.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 7.5 percent this month through Friday, the most since September 2010, and added 0.1 percent this week.
The US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) said on Sept. 18 that it wants more evidence that improvement in the US economy will be sustained before slowing the pace of its US$85 billion in monthly asset purchases.
"After the FOMC meeting, investors saw that the Fed was more dovish than they expected, so the rebound was huge," Grace Tam, a Hong Kong-based global market strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, said in a telephone interview. "People were too bearish on China and are now starting to feel some relief. If China is doing good, it helps the rest of Asia."
Profits at China's industrial companies rose 24 percent last month, data showed on Friday. A preliminary reading of HSBC Holdings PLC and Markit Economics' Purchasing Managers' Index for China released on Monday rose to 51.2, a six-month high.
In Taipei, the TAIEX rose 0.56 percent, or 46 points, to end at 8,230.68 on Friday, compared with 8,209.18 on Sept. 18, the last day of trading that week before markets shut for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (台積電) rose 1.48 percent to NT$103 on Friday, while Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd (鴻海集團) was 0.66 percent higher at NT$76.3.
Japan's TOPIX fell 0.1 percent this week, but gained 10 percent last month, rising for the first month in five, as Tokyo won a bid to host the 2020 Olympic Games.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 Index gained 3.4 percent this month and climbed 0.6 percent since Sept. 20 through Friday, while New Zealand's NZX 50 Index advanced 5.3 percent for the month.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index jumped 6.8 percent this month, China's Shanghai Composite Index gained 2.9 percent and Singapore's Straits Times Index rose 6 percent.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index touched a four-month high on Monday after the Fed announcement and has jumped 7.6 percent this quarter.
A pickup in China's growth may boost Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's (李克強) odds of meeting Beijing's 7.5 percent expansion goal this year. Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Credit Suisse Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG and JPMorgan Chase & Co have all raised economic growth projections for the world's second-biggest economy.
Analysts had predicted a US$5 billion reduction in Fed stimulus this month, estimates compiled by Bloomberg show.
Tapering could begin later this year should the data confirm the US central bank's "basic outlook," Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said.
In other markets on Friday:
Wellington added 0.36 percent, or 17.21 points, from Thursday to close at 4,782.68.
Manila fell 0.43 percent, or 27.65 points, ending on 6,379.81.

Remember back when I used to make recipe videos? They kind of fell to the wayside because 2012 was such a crazy year, but one of my goals for 2013 is to bring them back, and better than ever! I'm feeling so excited and inspired about the year to come, and I figure I should make use of that energy while it lasts!
This is a super easy, fresh, delicious corn salad that's a breeze to make. About two years ago, I was at a party with an editor from Bon Appetit, and I asked her what her favorite recipe was — and she told me this salad. Convinced?
I'm also including the recipe below because the video goes a little quickly — but I'm so excited at how this turned out and can't wait to do some more!
Lime Corn Salad
8 ears fresh corn, silks removed, husk on, soaked in cold water 30 minutes
1/4 cup lime juice (about two limes)
1 cup crumbled cotija cheese
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
Heat a pot of water to boiling. Cook the corn ears for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn a bright yellow color. Allow them to cool slightly and then cut off the kernels from the cobs.
Mix in the cotija cheese and lime juice, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Serves 6-8 as a side dish.

The W30 telescope is about to be modified as the mount electronics have become unreliable. Over the last several weeks it has not completed its task list and could be found tracking but not responding to software commands. We have tried a number of troubleshooting remedies attempting to isolate the problem. I have become convinced that some part of the mount electronics have become unreliable as the problem surfaces' as the evening cools off, usually about 3 hours into a run. Even when restarted after such a failure, it fails again after only a few images.
Phillip Coker, a member from Colorada Springs has offered his 12" LX200GPS as an alternative. His scope does not have the imaging improvements done on W30 such as ventilation fans, filtered intakes and mirror lock downs. I plan to install the Phillip's LX200GPS mount with the W30 OTA so that we'll have the best of the components. This newer mount should give us improved tracking as it has improved an PEC feature.
I anticipate the change over will take till mid November before it is ready again for production. Hopefully by then SBIG will have sorted out the filter wheel problem also!

Big protection for small folks.
Kids put their goggles through way more abuse than most adults, but don't you worry, the Anon Tracker Kids' Goggle is more than up to the challenge. The cylindrical polycarbonate lens is low- profile and tucked into the frame, which reduces the chances of it getting scratched when your kiddo decides to drag his helmet through the lodge. The dual layer face foam keeps the Tracker fitting snug against their face, and works in conjunction with the Full Perimeter Channel venting to fight fogging even during a hike. You'll be glad to know that it's designed to fit seamlessly with a helmet, so there won't be any gaper gap to get teased about. Your little guy is progressing even faster than he's growing, so make sure his gear can keep up.

Great Gift
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I bought these goggles for my niece and she loves them.
Perfect Goggles
Great goggles for range in ages
Great fit for 3 and 6 yo
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
our 6 and 3 yo each used a set of these recently in swiss alps. It was first week of April so conditions were warming up and they probably could have done with just normal kids sunglasses. Nonetheless they wore these the whole time with fogging up or any other discomforts that a child can discover (or invent!).
Our 3yo has a larger head for her age and they fit her well, and they fit her well and they also fit the 6yo well.
Very satisfied - highly recommended
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Got the Bern Diablo helmet & Anon tracker goggles for my 7 yo kid. He loves them. The goggles fit great with the helmet. He never complains about fog or the helmet wobbling around on his dome.
Perfect googles for kiddos. My son uses them with the http://www.backcountry.com/anon-rime-helmet-kids and they fit perfectly.
great goggles for kids
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Fits my 3 year old well. Had some bright days and these stopped him from complaining. Works well with the Anon helmet and love the fun designs.
Hands down the best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These are by far the best kids goggles on the market! They may cost a bit more than some other kids goggles but the quality more than makes up for it. Most kids goggles come with a cheap single lens that easily fogs, but the Anon Trackers use a really nice double lens that has never fogged in even the worst conditions. Most importantly though, the Anon Tracker is the only goggle I have found with the option of a totally clear replacement double lens. If you night ski with your kids, this is crucial.
Kids have enough to deal with when they are learning how to ski, not being able to see shouldn't be one of the challenges.
Pink lens in the sun
Face shots can be had in lots of ways when you are 3.
And a no-helmet view
For a glimpse at how these look sans-helmet.
Ready to shred Alta
Pink lenses were what sealed the deal for my kiddo. They fit great with the Smith Upstart helmet here:
I would have given all of my barbies and possibly my beanie baby collection to have looked this good skiing as a young lass.
Loving the pink sticker
FYI the ski suit is last year's version of this: http://www.backcountry.com/spyder-bitsy-harness-journey-suit-toddlers
It has been amazing and we are going to get 2 seasons out of it!
Is the kid's fit of the Anon Tracker Goggle...
Is the kid's fit of the Anon Tracker Goggle good for a 10 year old or should i be looking at small adult goggles?
That depends on the 10 year old. They are markedly smaller than the Smith I/OS, which is designed for a small adult face, but way bigger than my daughter's previous little kids goggles. I would say that if your child is 10, look for 'youth' goggles instead of 'kids'. These fit my 3 year old, although it's possible that she has a huge head I've never really compared it to other 3 year old heads.

Arab Leaders Shower Condoleeza Rice With Gifts, Have Obvious Crush
Wow: Condoleezza Rice got $316,000 in bejeweled gifts from the kings of Jordan and Saudi Arabia last year, three times more than the president. She must be doing an amazing job!
The Secretary of State ended up with "an emerald and diamond necklace, ring, bracelet and earrings," reports AP — and that was before the end of January.
The box for those gifts was valued at $5,000.
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah upgraded Rice from emeralds to rubies, and threw in a bracelet and ring. $165,000 in loot for one trip!
Of course it's just our own oil money, coming back to us. Uselessly, since it will sit in a General Services Administration warehouse, because no one gets to keep the gifts under federal law. What a hilarious way to waste money!
Rice made the best of it, though: She "forgot" until now to disclose a "$170,000 flower petal motif necklace," received from Abdullah in 2005. Ha.

By Lou Mancinelli
If you heard Center City resident Jen Creed sing on her December, 2010, album "Goodnight Is Not Goodbye," you'd never guess that eight years ago she underwent a number of voice surgeries, and wasn't sure if she'd ever sing again.
For Creed, singing, as it were, paid the bills. She was a sought-after professional vocal coach in her Philadelphia studio. Before that, she'd been across the country performing opera and Broadway musicals with New York City production companies.
Now, several years later after rehabilitating her vocal chords, she's made an album with the help of WXPN matriarch Helen Leicht, and is in the process of scheduling a number of upcoming performances.
Creed's relationship with Leicht stems back to their roots at St. Alphonsus Parish in the Ambler area. Creed, who will be 35 this May, was raised in Dresher, went to St. Alphonsus grade school and Gwyned Mercy Academy High School. She received a Philadelphia Archdiocesan Scholarship for academics and vocals to attend Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
"I never wanted to major in voice," said Creed early one Saturday evening in March during an interview in the Art Museum section of the city. "I got into Princeton and other places. But I ended up hearing the LaSalle [High School] band, and I knew music was in my heart. My dad wouldn't let me go to college without studying something else, so I studied math."
After college, Creed lived in Hell's Kitchen and the Upper East Side in Manhattan and pursued a career as a singer. There was "Les Misérables" in Los Angeles and "The Sound of Music" in the Midwest. But the uncertainty of future roles and the transient lifestyle were not what she wanted.
She was backstage in Milwaukee one day, when one of the older actresses who was putting on makeup said, "What I wouldn't give to do the Society Hill Playhouse." Creed's first role had been as Miss Scarlet in a performance of "Clue" at the Society Hill Playhouse a few years prior in 1998. Creed asked the women if she was referring to Philadelphia.
"When she said yes, I knew I had to come back to Philadelphia," said Creed. "My family was here. My relationships were here."
There were so many other things she wanted to do. So, at the turn of the century, after a year and a half or so of traveling and performing, Creed moved back to Philadelphia and established herself as a vocal teacher and coach. She taught vocals at Waldron and Merion Mercy Academies in Merion and at her studio.
But in the fall of 2003, Creed faced a major setback. Her vocal chords had become infected from overuse. It's the same with singers and vocal injuries as it is with football players and injuries, doctors told her. If you line up 100 football players, 99 will get a knee injury. She underwent surgery in 2003. Surgery was followed by years of rehabilitation.
Despite being unable to sing, Creed's love of music and belief in its "power to heal" compelled her to continue being involved in the world of music. In 2004, she accepted a voice fellowship from world-renowned voice surgeon Dr. Robert Sataloff. That experience led to Creed being appointed executive director of the international scientific organization The Voice Foundation (TVF). She now serves on the Board of Directors for TVF, a board that has included figures over the years like the late Teddy Pendergrass and Jack Klugman (of "The Odd Couple").
"I left music because of the surgeries and to let myself recover," said Creed. "I didn't think I'd miss it, but I did. The surgeries were difficult, and I thought I might never sing again. But I'm a naturally optimistic person. I was determined to overcome it."
And so, over the years she's worked to overcome the roadblocks. While you might expect her voice, after numerous vocal surgeries, to sound more like the gravel and dirt of Tom Waits' voice (on "Goodnight Is Not Goodbye" she actually covers Waits' "Take It With Me"), her sound is far from it. Her glorious, soaring sound is what you would expect from a professional opera/theater singer raised in choirs with a degree in vocal performance.
The album came about when Creed called Leicht, an old family friend, a little over two years ago. "All I know is I miss music," Creed said to Leicht. "I'm not sure how, or what, but can you help?" Leicht, who was familiar with Creed's background, invited her to sing at the "Home for the Holidays" WXPN event in December, 2009. After the performance, Leicht started getting emails about the singer.
It all led to the place where Creed and Leicht realized they shared the same vision of the power of music to heal and bring people together. "I believe in what you believe in," Leicht told her. And so, during the snowstorm of 2010, Leicht spent the week at Creed's apartment where they listened to scores of songs she might sing and talked about the album. Creed rehearsed the songs last spring and recorded the album with Grammy-winning Springhouse producer Glenn Barratt last summer and fall.
Creed, who plays piano, penned the title track herself. It's a tribute to her mother, who died from breast cancer at 46. "She was sick at 39, and she never let on she was sick," said Creed. "Even though she's not here, I feel her presence … when you're a daughter, it's like there's an imprint in your soul."
For now, Creed continues her work with TVF to bring together physicians, scientists, speech-language pathologists, performers and teachers to share their knowledge and expertise in the care of the voice. She also works full-time in the investment management industry.
On March 9, Creed performed the National Anthem at a 76ers game. She will sing the Anthem again at Citizen's Bank Park in April as part of a fundraising event for the For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation. To purchase or listen to her album, and for more information about soon-to-be- released concert dates, visit www.jencreed.com.

Organizers reported record numbers for the Central Jersey RV show last weekend at the PNC Bank Arts Center.
"Attendance was up over 100%, reaching nearly 3,000 attendees over the three days," Walter Hynes, general manager of Scott Motor Coach in Lakewood, said in a press release. He added that sunny skies and cool temperatures contributed to the attendance surge.
"We have not seen this much buying confidence in years," Hynes added. "Sales were phenomenal." To date, 40 RVs were sold over the three-day event with dealers anticipating residual sales.
In addition, more than 3,300 pounds of nonperishable food was collected for the Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
Hynes noted that advertising and media promotion for the event was handled by D.P. Ball Advertising.
