Changes to notify HMRC in respect of your money Laundering Registration
By the HMRC
How to report changes in your business to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and what to do if you want to cancel your registration.
1. Overview
2. Changes you should report to HMRC
3. Cancelling your registration
4. When to report changes
5. How to report a change
6. If you report changes after 30 days
You'll need to tell HMRC about changes or inaccuracies in your registration details if your business is registered under the Money Laundering Regulations.
This guide tells you what changes in your business details you need to report, and how and when you should do so.
It also explains what to do if you want to cancel your registration.
Changes you should report to HMRC
You'll need to notify HMRC if the details you've included in your application to register under the Money Laundering Regulations change or you discover that they're incorrect. You must tell HMRC about changes:
• of address, trading name or telephone number
• to your business's legal structure - for example if you used to be self-employed but now you're a limited company
• of ownership of your business
• of the legal entity of the business owners, for example, if ownership changes from a partnership to a limited company
• of partners
• of 'nominated officer'
• of franchise or agency status
• of personnel in your business who have 'fit and proper' status
• that affect a person's fit and proper status so that they would no longer pass the fit and proper test
You should also tell HMRC about any:
• criminal convictions for money laundering offences in your business
• new or additional premises
• premises which should be de-registered because they're no longer used for business activities covered by the Money Laundering Regulations
Cancelling your registration
You should notify HMRC if your business activities change so that you no longer need to be registered under the Money Laundering Regulations. HMRC will de-register your business.
When to report changes
You must report any changes in your registration details to HMRC within 30 days of a change taking place. If you're reporting something that's incorrect in your details you should do this within 30 days of discovering the mistake.
How to report a change
You should complete a 'reporting changes' form MLR RCT1. This form needs to be printed and a paper copy sent to HMRC.
You should also send a letter if you want to cancel your registration. Include your Money Laundering Regulations registration number and the date when you want your registration to be cancelled.
Send your MLR RCT1 forms and cancellation letters to:
HM Revenue and Customs - Anti Money Laundering Supervision
Alexander House
21 Victoria Avenue
You can't transfer a registration from one legal entity to another. If there is a change - for example, if the ownership of the business changes hands - the new owner has to register with HMRC and the previous owner has to cancel their registration.
A further application charge will not be charged if the new legal entity is made up of the exact same people as the previous one.
If you report changes after 30 days
You may have to pay a penalty unless HMRC has agreed that you can take longer than usual to report changes. You should contact HMRC as soon as possible if you need more than 30 days.

The Application of GstarCAD V2010
Beijing, China, June21, 2011- GstarCAD, an industry leading 2D/3D CAD software provider today announced that DGN Company adopted GstarCAD for their architecture and construction projects and achieved great success.
DGN is a comprehensive survey and design company whose businesses are mainly in the field of architecture and engineering, such as engineering design, engineering investigation and surveying, architecture and decoration design, etc. Established in 1993, DGN was issued engineering certificate by National Ministry of Construction. With abundant demand of architectural software, DNG investigated the CAD software market in cautious. After comparing with other CAD software, they finally chose GstarCAD software in order to enhance work efficiency and reduce the designer's repetitive work.
GstarCAD maintains the operation mode of mainstream software which meets the user's design habit. It's perfectly compatible with AutoCAD and is widely used in more than 100 countries and regions. Its application covers many fields, including AEC, mechanical, manufacturing, electrical, GIS, survey and mapping, civil, etc. Therefore, GstarCAD software products are suitable to DGN.
GstarCAD software has many advantages just like Mike Wang's description. Mike Wang, the project director in DGN said that they chose GstarCAD software since they saw its featured merits. "This CAD software is not only compatible with all AutoCAD versions, but also all versions of TANGENT architectural software. Also, it minimizes the resistance for using this CAD software due to its easy to learn. Mike Wang explained happily, "It's really intelligent software and you don't need to do much handwork, because this CAD software can automatically adjust for you." Mike Wang continues, "We have designed numerous public works, civil architectures, and a large number of residential projects during the application period. GstarCAD software offers guarantee for our company's design!"
Steven Li, the project designer of DGN viewed from other aspect, "GstarCAD software can ensure these old drawings to be reused and the transformation between different versions. In this way, productivity is increased and many unnecessary parts can be omitted." Especially, he referred to one unique function of this CAD software-New Drawing Compare which is handling custom object and nested object in block and comparison result is visualized and accurate, showed in predefined colors; thus, the designer can verify even the slightest modification in similar drawings.
DNG's fruitful application of GstarCAD software is just one of our many successful customer cases. Staying always as a responsible corporation, we will accompany with you and develop along with you!

Mushrooms occupy a strange place in our palates. Neither part of the plant or the animal kingdom, they are an oft-feared addition to any meal. Yet the little decomposers beneath our feet have tremendous health benefits for our bodies and for our planet. In the spirit of reviving the good name of mushrooms everywhere, Dear Food presents an in-depth look at the good, the bad, and the just plain weird of the mushroom world.
Latin name: Pleurotus eryngii
Other names: king trumpet, French horn, king brown, trumpet royale
I found some of these the other day whilst urban mushroom hunting in Portland (read: I bought them at an Asian market) and got really excited. Because mushrooms.
As one might guess, P. eryngii is very closely related to the other mushrooms in the Pleurotus genus, but since it's so different looking and little-mentioned I thought it deserved a post of its own.
Basically, the king oyster looks like a deformed oyster mushroom–with a very long puffy stalk and a tiny toenail cap. They tastes very similar to other oyster mushrooms, but I like these ones because you can eat the stalk as well (though the end does require a bit more cooking).
Also, you can make king oyster dishes look classy as heck. Observe:
These mushrooms prefer apparently prefer warm climates, so they aren't native to the United States. Although they are possible to cultivate, I haven't seem much mention of them in American mushroom farms… yet. Part of the reason is because they grow on a different substrate than other oyster mushrooms, and partially because, well, people in America are scared of mushrooms.
However, they are grown in other parts of the world–most notably Japan, where we got shiitake mushrooms. So it's only a matter of time before they get over here.
Until then, do some urban mushroom hunting of your own! They're out there, waiting for you.

Did your job inform you that you needed your cpr card, and you were left thinking what do I do where do I go, I need my cpr certification because my job is dealing with mostly children or my nursing school requires it?
So what usually happens next is you will go the computer and do a search of the fastest place you can find a cpr card and get it right away so that you can get back to work or at least finish up your schooling. Then you see a list of companies that are an hour's drive away and in Los Angeles traffic and you don't have the time or the gas money to deal with it.
Well these were the circumstances that have brought about G medical CPR, see we were in your shoes wondering the same thing , so we thought to give you a local option that you can go to in the event you need your cpr card right away. We would love to help get you back to work with either a refresher course or the knowledge you need from taking the class for the 1st time.
G Medical CPR offers all the classes you'll need to get your CPR card all you have to do is let us know what your job or schooling that you are offering and we will immediately let you know what you will need for your cpr certification.
At the same time we will make everything easy for you offering you the class time that fits your schedule and the price that fits your budget. We help the schools and jobs of the community getting these people that are offering that great service of care back to work immediately.
Let us explain the reason why you need your cpr card, see we understand your job or school made you get your cpr card, but until you understand why it is that you need that you may not see the value in getting it, or you may feel like you don't necessarily need to get it every two years either after learning it once.
Top 5 Reasons to Learn CPR
- Well 2 years is a long time, and over that time you may have forgotten something that will help you to act and know exactly what to do in the event of an emergency.
- The American Heart Association is constantly updating its rules and regulations about how to perform the service more efficiently to save more lives at a better rate.
- Say for instance you needed cpr certification for your job but something happened at home with your grandpa at Thanksgiving dinner, well its more likely that you will save someone you know than not because, 80% or all cardiac arrests happen at home.
- Over 200,000 people die of cardiac arrest every year, and 50,000 of those lives could have been saved, so with more people understanding the numbers like these they will be more conscientious of how and why to act;
- Only 6.4% of cardiac arrests victims survive because of people witnessing the incident or do not know cpr. Or once the heart stops beating, brain death occurs in 4 to 6 minutes.
- Performing CPR provides oxygen to the brain and other vital organs to give the victim the best chance of full recovery after EMS takes over. If CPR is given within the first four minutes of a cardiac arrest, the chances of survival double.
- Most untrained bystanders hesitate to help a cardiac arrest victim., so whats happening here is that you don't know cpr like its second nature, so you elect to not perform the procedure at all, and that leads to more deaths an it could be your loved ones.

Not Happy with Ordinance 89!!!Sally & John S. from West Vancouver Canada, 13. December 2019 Stayed for 15 days in November, 2019
We are extremely upset because we need to book for a minimum of a month thanks to Ordinance 89 . We understand the dividing line is on the waterside of Kuhio. How ridiculous that WPH is left out. We have
written a letter to the mayor which is probably a waste of time. So I guess the only route is to go to court which should at least give some time to straighten this out. After 19 years of renting from Barbara, none of this makes any sense and we will have to look for alternate accommodation.
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate13. December 2019
Aloha and thank you for posting a review of your recent stay. We are pleased that you appreciate Waikiki Park Heights for its great location and the services from your property manager, Barbara. We understand your frustration with the new ordinance Bill 89. We appreciate your repeat business and we hope you will continue to keep us in mind for future stays, with our inventory of many vacation rentals.
Enjoyed the stayBarbara N. from ROMA Italy, 09. September 2019 Stayed for 10 days in August, 2019
We had overall a great vacation. Although the apartement need some renovations (I would get rid of the wallpaper, really outdated and the furniture), it's nice and comfortable. The location is a top!! Our manager took care of little issues we had during our stay so we appreciated it so much.
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate10. September 2019

This condo regularly receives 4 5-star ratings and recommendations. We are pleased that you appreciated the location and the services from our property manager and we hope you will continue to keep us in mind for future stays.
Great location and very good condo.Brad W. from Nepean CA, 29. July 2019 Stayed for 4 days in June, 2019
Location was great. Place was enjoyable to stay in. Bed was very comfy. It took very little time to walk to the beach and one of the best locations on the beach. The place looks just like the pictures and was clean.
Only negatives is there's hardly any place for big luggage for long stays. The king size bed takes up almost the entire bedroom. The bathroom area is pretty small with only a curtain to cover up vanity area. Also the balcony can get loud if any party people are close by.
It's a small apartment but was cozy for 2. We were happy and would stay again.

What a lovely place! The unit was even better than in the photos. The view was beautiful. The unit was fully equipped, with sunscreen, shampoo etc and Tommy Bahama beach chairs,
It was so centrally located and within walking distance of the heart of Waikiki.
We were able to have early check in and Barbara was very helpful.
Would highly recommend this unit.

Cozy and Adequate.....LEESBURG United States, 25. May 2018 Stayed for 3 days in May, 2018
We needed a place with a kitchen, bedroom, living area and a balcony.This place was nice. Kind of small but met our needs for the 3 days we wanted to get acclimated after a 10 hour flight and a 6 hour time zone change. The bathroom did not have a door but did have a curtain to close for privacy. It was in a great area with access to Waikiki Beach and day and evening activities.

Great Condo!Russ D. from Spokane United States, 22. April 2018 Stayed for 9 days in April, 2018
Everything about this condo was wonderful. I've stayed in these types of places all over the world, and this was by far the best equipped I've seen. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, we had beach towels and beach chairs (as advertised), and there was even three sets of snorkeling gear to use. It had everything we needed, and more!
I did a ton of research prior to renting this unit, and if you are looking for the best combo of price, location, and amenities, this is is. The beach view from 1806 is amazing, it's right in the heart of Waikiki, has a wonderful king-sized bed, etc., etc. Based on what I saw, this unit was several hundred dollars cheaper for a week's stay for comparably-sized units.
Our contact Barbara was helpful and professional, and really bailed us out when I lost our keys when we were out one night. She lives in the building, and was able to let us in after ten pm in just a few minutes. Unbelievable!
When I return to Waikiki, there is no doubt I'll come back to this condo!

Cute 1 bedroom condo with a great view! I only was in the place for sleeping, and mostly out and about during the day. Perfect location if you want to walk around and explore the town or just go lay at the beach. It was only a 5 minute walk to the beach. I loved how they provided chairs and towels in the room to use. I would definitely come back!

Waikiki Park Heights is centrally located to everything Waikiki has to offer - it is all within walking distance. The view from #1806 is magnificent and the balcony provides the perfect place to have breakfast! We had the sofa bed open for our entire stay and there was still plenty of room to get around the kitchen area. Barbara was so lovely and helpful.

avoiding the winter solstice in HonoluluUpper Hutt New Zealand, 01. July 2016 Stayed for 12 days in June, 2016
The unit we had booked when we arrived did not meet our expectations; however, Captain Cook Resorts provided a short term answer and after only 2 nights we were able to shift into the unit we spent the remainder of our two weeks holiday in. Captain Cook Resorts were awesome to deal with and our overall experience was not negatively impacted at all.

Perfect Location!West Sacramento United States, 29. February 2016 Stayed for 4 days in February, 2016
Condo 1806 at the Waikiki Park Heights is a perfect location at Waikiki. The unit itself is small, but three adults stayed there comfortably enough. The sofa bed, not too comfortable. It was a lot of work to pull it out, having to re-arrange things in the living room to do so, so we just left it out for the three and a half days we stayed. The bedroom is very nice - with a King Size bed, plenty of closet space, and dresser, and a flat screen TV. The kitchenette was perfect, there was a nice size table and chairs to eat at, and the balcony was perfect. We would definitely stay there again in this unit, if it were just two of us. But the building is a perfect location. Us arriving at the building should not be based on our flight arrival. Although our plane landed at 1:30, it took us close to 2pm to disembark, then get to the rental shuttle and arrived to the rental car place at 3pm, and stood in a long line out the door. Since we were told to only contact Barbara when we were on our way to the condo, I held back on calling her. By the time we were in the car I noticed we had two missed calls from her. So that stressed me out a little. But it all worked out. She was very kind and helpful, even bringing me a fan to sleep with. Of note, the bathroom is very small. The vanity/shower entrance has no door (the toilet does) so there is a curtain you unhook for privacy, however, it's not quite wide enough. So, my guys had to stay in the living room while I got out of the shower.

Best Place to Stay in Waikiki!Vancouver Canada, 13. November 2015 Stayed for 4 days in November, 2015
Let me start off by saying Barbara was a very friendly host and gave us a warm welcome to our home for the week. The location of this place is absolute perfection!! It's off the busy main strip but literally a 5 minute walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. You can't beat that. The apartment itself was clean, well furnished and the ocean view was amazing! Ate breakfast out on the patio every morning. Kitchen - well equipped to cook anything you want. I felt very safe with the friendly security guards in the lobby at all times. I was very happy with my decision to stay here - if you're looking for value, this is the place. Don't pay $250+ for a hotel when you can stay here for less than half the price. I feel like you get way more for what you pay here. I would 100% stay here again!

Mahalo Cheryl, for the great review and recommendation! It's always great to get this kind of feedback - we're so glad you enjoyed your stay! We will pass your feedback onto your property manager, Barbara; she's a real asset to the Captain Cook Resorts team!
Take us back to our lil condo in hawaiiHope Canada, 03. July 2015 Stayed for 7 days in June, 2015
Such a great condo for the money I have paid close to 200 dollars at hotels which barely had any amenities. This condo has a full kitchen with modern appliances. Everything you need to cook a good meal. It's a block away from the Duke Statue. The security there was great and extremely friendly. Me and my fiance really were blown away by the service capt cook resorts provided. Our flight was delayed numerous times we were supposed to be in t 9pm we didn't arrive till 330 and didn't get into waikiki till 4 30 am but the property manager who works for capt cook stayed up all night to make sure we didn't have to sleep in our rental car first night. We will definitely stay here again.

Mahalo, Andrew, for the positive comments. We work hard to offer great accommodations and service, and we're so glad your visit was enjoyable. I will pass your feedback on to the team, and we shall look forward to seeing you and your fiance again soon!

Unit #1806 is an easy 2 block walk to the center of Waikiki Beach. Our unit's lanai overlooked the ocean. The bus stops right outside the main entrance. The building is extremely quiet and mostly filled with retirees. The pool is clean and nice. There is a food pantry grocery store about 3 blocks away where we did shopping. There are endless choices for restaurants and bars all within easy walking distance. The unit has a small, but adequate kitchenette with a cook top, convection oven/micro combo and full fridge. It has adequate supplies. I appreciated the tile floor as I suffer from allergies, however I was disappointed in some of the cleanliness of the unit. I noticed that there was some mold around the door of the shower unit and quite a bit of dust covering the light fixtures and bathroom fans. I also noticed a thick layer of dust on the back of the bed frame. The tub tile looked stained and dingy. I thought the pillows could be replaced, as they appeared soiled and dingy. The towels and linens appeared clean and fresh. I would stay in the unit again, but would feel better if it had a "deep clean". Overall, with some minor tweaks, this place is a safe bet and the location wins out.

I'm going back next year!Calgary Canada, 01. February 2015 Stayed for 33 days in December, 2014
The property is fantastic. Very very comfortable and the view is wonderful. Barbara from Captain Cook is great to work with and very professional. The building managers and security staff are outstanding - very friendly, accommodating and helpful. there was a small plumbing issue and it was repaired within an hour of reporting it to Barbara. There was a major maintenance emergency when escaping water from the building fire suppression system flooded the elevator shafts and damaged the elevator operating systems resulting in the loss of elevator service. Building management worked diligently to have the repairs completed. service of one elevator was restored within about 14 hours and completion of all repairs within about 1 1/2 days. As I use a mobility device, using the stairs was not an option for me and the building managers offered to bring me any supplies I might need while the elevators were being repaired. I call that going above and beyond. I enjoyed my stay in this property so much that I have already booked next year's stay. Mahalo Barbara.....
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate01. February 2015
Mahalo for your thoughtful review! We really appreciate your comments and were glad to hear everyone helped out while the elevators were being repaired. We'll be sure to pass on your comments to Barbara, the property manager, and hope to see you again on your next visit!

As we have been at the Waikiki Park Heights for 12 consecutive years, no further comment is necessay. We were a little unhappy with the noise and water service interruptions from the renos on the floor above us this year.

Awesome Condo, Perfect Location, Great Views!!Jefferey B. from Warner Robins United States, 10. October 2013 Stayed for 6 days in September, 2013
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki Park Heights Condos. Very conveniently located to everything in Waikiki. Unless U absolutely need one for your own preference, U don't even need to rent a car. Everything is close and if U decide to do Hanauma, PCC, or a Luau, U can catch "The Bus" and it'll take U literally anywhere U wanna go. Condo itself was very nice with beautiful views of everything, ocean side or mountain side, U can see it from your lanai or right out your front door. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!! Mahalo Captain Cook staff, U made our trip a great time!!
Great Waikiki locationTammy K. from San Diego United States, 21. July 2013 Stayed for 12 days in July, 2013
I really enjoyed my stay and am looking forward to my return next year to the same property. The view is amazing with the unit being fully stocked to a cookers delight, along with beach gear if needed. Being so close to the water makes for a short walk to the best BEACH in Waikiki. Barbara is a delight to work with and is available if anything is needed.
Awesome view-close to beach!!!Sheila N. from Missoula United States, 06. June 2013 Stayed for 7 days in May, 2013

Great LocationBurnaby United States, 18. May 2013 Stayed for 6 days in May, 2013
I think there are definately pros and cons with this location. I love the location of the condo as it is closed to everything. The place is clean and simple and has AC so feels great when we are staying. However, the only challenges we had was the fact that we have to call to check in. Our flight was delayed and so it was 3 am and with no phone/wifi access, it was definately a challenge. Also, the towels are just provided to us and we had to do our own laundry... Lastly, the late check in fee of $20 was something I wasn't quite happy about... but still a good place if you want to go to places near by.
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate19. May 2013
Aloha Karen, So glad you enjoyed your stay! Waikiki Park Heights is a great condonimium which has a 24-hour security guard on location. It is possible to contact the check-in person through the intercom, if you are without a cell phone, and pay phones are also available. Our representative is at your service for your personal check-in and to answer any questions as well as letting you know how to work the internet, building security and a/c.

First Time In WaikikiVictoria Canada, 11. November 2012 Stayed for 6 days in November, 2012
We were put in touch with the rental agent for Captain Cook Vacations by a colleague who owns in the building. Front initial contact to the finish she was extremely professional and helpful. The location only two blocks from the beach was excellent. The suite had a good view, was clean and comfortable and the pool and laundry were very convenient. The building staff were also very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

My experience in your condo was one of pleasure. I found the condo to be very comfortable, with all the amenities necessary. Since I love to cook I found the kitchen stocked with every tool one could need. The view from this condo was fabulous, and one can check out the ocean conditions from the lanai. It was very convenient to the Waikiki beach, shops and restaurants. The building was also very secure, with many helpful employees. Thanks for a great Waikiki visit. PS Montana is MT not MO

From Our Pupils
The Unique Selling Points of Marlborough School
The moment I walked in the doors at Marlborough I knew it would be fun. In reception class we got to know all the people in the school and we knew who we can trsut: everyone! I have been at this wonderful school for seven years. These are some of the things I think are unique.
One of these things (in my mind) is our school dinner service. Lots of people associate school dinners with 'grizzly muck' for main, followed by something highly unhealthy but slightly yummy for dessert. Our mains are delicious, nutricious and bursting with life, cooked by 'a hungry young chef' for hungry pupils… and our desserts are really healthy, but also still fully yummy.
Another unique(ish!) thing about our school are our sports teams. I have been lucky enough to be in the rugby and football teams, and I have played in the football league. Most teams I have played against have at least one or two substitutes at the beginning of the match. Rarely, usually never, do they ever come on the pitch. Marlborough is different – everyone who is in the squad for a match gets on the pitch and has a chance to develop and improve.
Also, occasionally, we have Big Dig LINE (Learning in the Natural Environment) days, which are when everyone learns outside and parents help us to improve the grounds. On those days we often have a special school dinner too. Big Digs really help me.
Learning indoors is also exciting too. We have open learning weeks so the children can design their classroom to match the interesting topics we study. This includes building a role-play area which every class has. In year 6 we built our own trench and dug-out system to help our work on the First World War. Then, when we went to Paris, we visited a real WW1 battlefield site.
At the end of the year everyone in the school walks down to the beach for a very special barbecue – it will be sad in 2017 as it's my last one (except when it's my brother's turn and I can come back).

Hot stone massage is a variation of classic massage therapy. It originated in the USA a couple of decades ago and was practiced in famous Spas. As a result to its ever increasing demand, this treatment became very quickly one of the most popular massage therapies worldwide.
Heated smooth, flat stones are used on the body in combination with traditional massage movements. The hot stones are usually made of basalt, a type of stone that is rich in iron, therefore ideal in retaining heat. The massage therapist always holds the stones first before bringing them in direct contact with the client's body. This ensures that the temperature will not be too high.
The heat loosens and relaxes the muscles, which allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure if desired. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system.
* Massage on the Head, face & abdominal area is not included.

Winter: Auto Kit
Living in a cold snowy region I find it amazing when locals are stuck on the highways and back roads unprepared.
Last year during the BIG Snow storm I watch my neighbor shovel a path to his garage. I wish I could say that I was drinking a cup of coffee or something cool like that but I wasn't just staring out at all of that snow. Hundreds of cars were stranded on Lake Shore Drive, Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011 in Chicago. A winter blizzard of historic proportions wobbled an otherwise snow-tough Chicago, stranding hundreds of drivers for up to 12 hours overnight on the city's showcase lakeshore thoroughfare and giving many city schoolchildren their first ever snow day. The sad thing about it were we had five days to prepare for it – few if any of those drivers were prepared. 18 January 2013, hundreds of people spent a cold night trapped on Interstate 65 in Cullman County after snow caused a series of wrecks that snarled traffic for miles.
I can only suggest that you prepare yourself now because it better to say "Oh, well" than "I should have…" The following are items you will find in my winter automobile kit – which most is actually located in a box in my trunk/boot.
- Cell phone (on me at all times)
- flashlights with fresh batteries – one in trunk and two inside car
- Blanket(s) – wool blanket in back pack and emergency blanket in pocket of seats.
- Food bars – In back pack
- Water bottles – two steel water bottle in box and bottle water that is replaced daily.
- Jumper cables – in tool bag
- Knife – in tool bag
- Tools – in tool bag
- Flares – in tool bag
- Fix-a-Flat – in tool bag
- HELP Sign – in tool bag
- First aid kit – under passenger side seat and bigger one in trunk
- Work Gloves – in tool bag
- Small shovel – in trunk
- Waterproof matches – inside car center console, with a bic lighter
- Ice scraper – in box
- Bag of sand (or kitty litter) to help provide traction if your car is stuck in the snow – inside box with a piece of old carpet
- Windshield washer fluid and Coolant – in trunk
- Hand and Feet warmers – inside car near first aid kit
Of course there are other stuff that I carry in my EDC and Bug Out Bag that will help out if we get stuck in the snow. If anyone out there have any positive suggestions that might help others and myself please submit them in the comment section

How to Make a Felt Holiday-Mix CD Casecomments (4) November 12th, 2008
Christmas is coming and, this year, our wallets aren't so fat. We're all looking for affordable yet thoughtful gifts to give out. Mix CD's are a wonderful option because you get to share the music you love with the people you love! Here's a fun and festive way in which to package your tunes for the holiday season. You can make this case with any color of felt for any sort of music, but since I do love the holiday music, I thought I'd remain festive.
To make one case, you'll need:
- Felt (I used two different colors, green and red), enough for three pieces measuring 12 inches by 5-3/8 inches
- Thick interfacing (I used Pellon Peltex)
- Fabric glue
- Measuring and cutting tools
- Fine-tip permanent marking pen
- Clover Water-Soluble White Marking Pen (the best tool I've found for making removable guidelines)
- Embroidery floss and needle
- Extra-wide double-fold bias tape
- Paper
- Paper scissors
- Paper glue
I cut the middle piece of felt in a contrasting color since it will be seen under the disc.
While the glue dries, figure out the layout of your design. I like to give my discs snappy names, so I chose to put the title of my disc on my case.
This is where the Clover white marking pen comes in super-handy. It's a chalk marking pen, and when you hit it with a steam iron the lines fade away. I drew out my guidelines and wrote out my title using the white marker. Once I was happy with my design, I went over the white marks with my permanent marker so that my design wouldn't rub away.
Now's the time to decorate your case cover. I chose to embroider mine (shocking, I know!), but you can also decorate it with foam pieces, felt appliqué, or with fabric paints. If you use glue or paints, remember to let the cover dry completely before you finish putting your case together.
Once my cover was decorated, I tacked it to the interfacing side of the lining felt with a bit of fabric glue. Now that the cover is done, prepare the interior of your case to hold your discs and liner notes.
Now that all your layers are done, you'll need to bind them all together. I used extra-wide double-fold bias tape, but you could also sew along the edges with your machine and trim the seam allowance with some pinking shears. If you don't want to use a machine, you can sew up the edges using a blanket stitch.
To make the liner note sheet, I cut a piece of paper that was 12 inches by 4-3/4 inches, folded in half. I folded the edges back so that they fit into the center slit in the case and glued the two folded halves together. The liner notes slide perfectly into the slit in the case. Once in place, glue the notes down into the case.
Now you're ready to share your craftiness AND your great taste in music with all your friends!

The OUMC UMW has been hard at work. Thank you for all of the donations for our indoor yard sale. We brought in$865 thanks to the hard work of our volunteers and Margie Zoller who supervised the event! We will be having Attic Treasures this year at our annual Christmas Bazaar so keep bringing in those beloved items to sell. The UMW Board would like to welcome two new members this year. Gladys Fichte has been a long time supporter and volunteer and will now be serving as a Congregational representative to the Board. Also newly confirmed Abby Anderson will have a seat at the Board as the Youth Group representative. We welcome our new members and as always value our wonderful Board Members and the many volunteers that help us accomplish our goals. Next event: The Summer Street Sale Bake Sale. We need volunteers in the kitchen on Friday, July 28th, at 8:30 am to help us make approximately 40 pies which we donate for sale to benefit the church. You do not have to know how to roll out pie dough. We also need people to mix the fillings, watch the ovens, man the sink, and assemble boxes! Hope to see some new faces there.
Yours in Christ,

I have collected the ritual sacrifices you requested - 2 boxes of organic eggs, 8 vanilla Danette puddings, 2 chicken sausages, 6 Activia yoghurts, a bunch of radishes, 3 packets of coriander, 2 of mint, 1 large piece of ginger and countless potatoes. They are untouched by human hand, in accordance with your wishes. Please put them to whatever purpose pleases you and if possible, be merciful.
Your worshipful slave,

Dear Neighbours,
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUP UP. NOREALLYIMEANITSHUTUP. And if there is any more Amy Macdonald this afternoon, someone is going to get hurt.

Dear House
You still look like shit, despite my best efforts. Whilst we can both agree that my best efforts are pretty lame, I still think you are not even trying to keep up your end of the bargain. I request that you rectify this, by, at the very least, washing your own windows by close of business today. There are some of those wipe things in the cupboard under your sink.
Yours sincerely
Emma (solicitor)
Dear "Book" (that's a courtesy title. It seems overly familiar to call you 'disparate collection of word documents'),
I really hope you aren't as boring to read as I am finding you to write at the moment.
Please find your own way of making X find out about Y because every solution I come up with stretches credibility so far I want to just drag you to the recycling folder.
Dear Eyes,
Wow, you are so small and pink today! Do not let the tear ducts boss you around like that.
A concerned relative.
Dear Summer Sales,
Please, stop calling me. I have already told you, you and I cannot be together. You are just causing us both needless pain when you harass me like this. ESPECIALLY you, Comptoir des Cotonniers and you, Cos. You should know better.
I mean it. Don't make me take out a restraining order.
Dear Tadpoles,
I am really sorry. I think it was just too hot for you wasn't it? I am especially sorry at the sneaking relief I know I'll be feeling when I empty your bucket.
Yours in sorrow,

Dear John Lewis,
Can I call you John? I feel like I know you well after this afternoon's visit. I never knew there was a whole floor full of well tailored, vintage styled, grown up dresses just out of my budget. Why did you make me try them on? Now I feel like I really am in my thirties, except without the stable income, thriving career, and adorable children.
Speak soon,
Dear La Favorita,
You profess to serve the best log-fired pizza in Scotland. Why were your tables empty today? Was it something to do with the mysterious, orange-trousered clown who was juggling badly amongst them? It was terrifying, even from a distance.
Dear Emma,
You kill another tadpole and I am no longer your friend.

Dear ice-cream,
I would be very grateful if you could kindly stop being so tempting, delicious and refreshing. Thank you.
Dear work,
I need you, God knows I do. Otherwise, how could I take my children on holiday and afford shiny things? However, it would be most appreciated if you stopped drowning me every year at the same time, i.e. just before the summer holiday.
As a result of this habit of yours, my entire family hates me and my children can hardly remember my face, which, apparently, is also ageing fast due to late nights enetertaining you, work. You want proof? One of my sons, looking at a pic of N. Lawson on a weekend newspaper magazine supplement, said "Maman, she looks a bit like you, but when you were much much younger".
Work, I AM much much younger than La Lawson, so kindly go and grace someone else's life, will you? And take your companion Ridiculous Deadlines with you.
Yours knackeredly,

Dear Feet:
Damn, sisters, YOU need some work. I know all I do is intermittently cram you into pointy shoes, then make you run 8 miles and then walk around in dirt and thorns with no coverings, but really, I expect more resilience. Would it kill you to pretty-up a bit? And we need to talk about the hair. It's okay for gorillas and hirsute gents to have hair on their feet; it is not okay for you, dainty Lady Feet, to sport a fan of fuzz over the instep. Do something about yourselves. It is beginning to be an embarassment.
Dear Dow Jones Industrial Stock Market:
Hey, Baby, are you okay? I know things have been tough, but you were able to rally pretty well for awhile. I noticed that you started cutting yourself last week, a little bit every day. I'm sorry you're so scared, Baby, but that isn't how you get people to believe in you again. And it scars, Baby, and it's summer and you don't want scabs and scars in shirtsleeve weather. Yes, I know, that oil spill thing is a total drag, but they'll have it cleaned up in a year or so. Come on, now, chin up, Baby, smile a little more and I'm sure those Wall Street boys will start calling again soon.
Listen now, don't think because it's a three day weekend that you can drink for 72 hours straight and show up for work on Tuesday hungover. That's very immature and you know better than that. And don't let me find out about any cocaine on Fire Island this weekend or I'll call the SEC and we'll do an intervention and get you into a good rehab program.
I love you, Baby, I know you can come back from this!
Love, C/Kalgon

Dear Person I wrote that email to,

Thank you so much for the detailed survey asking my opinion on the art work for the new building that is half empty.
However, if it is all the same the to you, I would prefer if it you renewed my contract. I know the contract is caught up in petty midlevel politics, but really my work is of direct importance to the life safety of citizens. That being said, I like impressionist artwork and art deco sculpture.

Now that we are together I promise to use you at least twice a week to get to work. You'll be pleased to learn we'll be going through the woods as opposed to the roads. I figure the chances of us getting mangled by a car are higher than coming to a sticky end on the trails.
Love you ever so much
Dear bank balnce
Please stop whining about the cost of the bike. There's money coming from the ING account in the next two days alright! I totally would have out it on the credit card but I can't remember my PIN number and I'm over come with ennui at the thought of talking to the call centre - don't you know they are officially the most long winded and unhelpful people around.

Thank you so much for visiting me, and I have found your company very interesting and stimulating.
However, it has been some 5 years or so since you arrived, and I am starting to feel the need for some time alone, so would be grateful if you would vacate the premises before I return from holiday.

Dear person with a g mail address,
Since you already had my e mail address, and clearly know who I am, as clearly as I know who you are, why not ask me directly if my blog is indeed my blog rather than coming across with a lie about having websites which you would like to advertise in the hope that i would reply, thus confirming your suspicions.
It only reinforces my opinion of you and your associates and you will be pleased to know that I will indeed advertise your services ...not on links, but in the blog itself! Free! Something for nothing - your leitmotif in life!
I know you'll be pleased to have the publicity for your dishonest activities....

Dear MAC,
I hate you. Stop bringing out things I don't need and making me want them purely because they will sell out. There are much more pressing fripperies I need to spend my meagre allowance on. Give it a rest.....oh hang on, I take it back. I see you will be bringing out some disney tat shortly. That will do nicely. Shit I absolutely won't want to spend my money on.

Dear Guy Next Door,
Had I realized the sidewalk under our windows was your living room/garage/driveway/office, I would have signed a contract elsewhere, no matter how typically depressing it looked. If it is a cultural thing, one must wonder why this practice seems to be limited to you, and you alone.

Dear Yummy Mummy Colleagues,
No. I'm not one of you. And no matter how you scrutinise and disapprove, I'm not going to be one of you either.
The Mummy bit is not by choice, but by circumstances. The medics say that the baby brain you plead doesn't actually exist, so please try to get your pretty little heads around that.
As for the Yummy bit? Well I've never been much of a 'girl', really. My best friends are mostly men and non-girly women. I don't have the looks for Yummy... that ability to get it right in the aesthetic sense. And you know what? I don't really care. When it comes to a straight choice between fifteen minutes' reading time or straightening my hair like yours, I'll take the reading time, thank you very much.
You all seem very pleased with yourselves, anyway. So please let me go back to being invisible. Stop wishing me my 'turn'. Surely you've got somewhere else to be? Baby gym? Play date? Therapy?

Dear Readers of my Blog and Tweets,
If I haven't unfollowed you today, then it's probably a massive compliment.

Dear Parents and Parents in law,
Would you please stop with the 'elder child hurts, kills, molests younger child while mother is not looking' stories? When I was first pregnant all I got where birth horror stories, when the baby was born and proved fine you started with the 'baby dies from freaky illness/accident' stories, when she went to day care you lovingly send me all the 'baby dies in day care' stories.
Would you like me to start sending or telling you all the 'cancer returning and death in six weeks' stories? I will do that you know.

Stop imitating a dog/bird/cat/duck/pig/any other animal in my daughters presence. She (allright I) thinks is freaking annoying.

Dear Mother in Law,
Whilst your snarky comments go unnoticed by your adoring son I take some small comfort in knowing that others can see how twisted you are and are judging you for it. Seriously, stop humping your own sons leg. My decor is just fine thank you and no I haven't taken my wedding dress to a charity shop nor will I be doing so anytime soon. You can stop telling everyone I'm not worthy of carrying your sons children. We aren't having any. We are afraid if we did they might turn out like you.
Yours sincerely,
Chooser of your nursing home.
Dear ex,
I feel after your behaviour last Friday that I can say these things guilt free. For the past 5 years I have avoided contact with you not because I couldn't get over you but because I cannot bloody stand you. I laughed for a good hour after our last encounter thinking about the look on your mothers face when you told her you were moving back in because you had no job, no life and no prospects. You are arrogant beyond comprehension for reasons no one can fathom. People don't like you, they tolerate you.

Please get off my back, literally and figuratively. I didn't want to be so pale and then be lobster red because 50 SPF sunscreen is inadequate. A bunch of English people are pining for you somewhere, and writing songs about it. Go see them. They want you. I don't like you anymore.
With aloe vera,

Dear ex,
It greatly amused me that I did not recognise you because your hair has become so ridiculous you look like you're doing it for a joke. Also, it gave me great pleasure to see that at almost thirty you are now working in the pub we used to go after school - looks like being a creative has really worked out for you. I also enjoyed how you hid behind the bar.
I feel sorry for you, but mostly much, much better about my life. If I'd known that was all it would take I would have broken my no-contact rule to encourage you in this stirling endeavour. I no longer harbour one iota of desire for you.
Thank you and commiserations.
Dear me,
isn't it funny how even really clever, talented men who love you an awful lot can still do or say incredibly stupid things that hurt you, just through lack of common sense?
Don't worry, you'll be ok.

Dear Emma
It has come to my attention that you have installed in your new house a Turkish shamanic charm which includes the shell of a deceased tortoise.
This is very disappointing. even though you are no longer under my aegis, you should have known better
than to meddle with such powerful magic.
I have to inform you that your dog, the Weepette, has now been possessed by the spirit of the dead Turkish tortoise, whose name was Nejat, and who came from the anti-Taurus mountains in the south of Turkey.
Nejat longs to return to the place of his birth, and his unhappiness at being unable to do so is likely to manifest itself in strange and difficult behaviour from the Weepette.
It would be a good idea if you were to arrange an exorcism of the Weepette by your local Catholic priest as soon as possible, unless the diocese of Uccle has its own resident exorcist.
Even if there is a dedicated exorcist, he is unlikely to be experienced in liberating the tormented souls of Asia Minor tortoises from Weepettes, and I would be more than happy to assist
with this matter.
Yours, more in sorrow than in anger,
The Holy Tortoise.

Dear M
I've drafted and discarded several letters to you on the subject of your recent behaviour and how I would like to repay you for it, but unfortunately they all make me sound like a deranged serial killer.
Suffice it so say that I HOPE YOU DIE SOON.
And should you happen to be staked out on the ground, covered with honey, and then devoured by giant ants, then so much the better.
yours, cordially,

Dear Emma and commenters,
Thank you for making me laugh THAT hard.
Dear someone,
Please fetch me a spoon so I can scrape the Sugar in the Raw that never dissolves from the bottom of my now empty iced coffee glass.
Looking forward to that buzz now,
Dear Jorge Cruise,
I'm sorry. I tried.

Dear The Holy Tortoise
I do not want to seem abrupt or rude but I must ask something of you.Would you mind awfully leaving the Weepette and possessing me instead?
I am Nancy,a newly hatched fly living in a bedroom in the Republic of Ireland.Unfortunately I am soulless.I wasn't always like this but I sold my previous one to the devil for 3 seconds on a slice of a goats cheese,pesto and pine nut pizza.
I vow to give you a wonderful,if short physical existence , full of joy beauty and an incredible view of the ass of the hot plasterer working next door.
This offer is on the table for the next 8 hours ,after that I'm afraid I will fall to my doom and rot in a dust pile behind the couch.
I hope to be possessed by you at your earliest convenience .

Dear Muffin Top,
You have been a loyal and constant companion since the birth of my daughter. It's just that well, I don't think it's working out any more. I think you may like me more than I do you and you deserve better. Really, go. Please. Do this for yourself. I will never be able to love you in the way you want.
Ok, bye now. I won't be contacting you again. Please understand.

When I first met my husband, I made him blueberry crisp. I couldn't believe he had never had it before. Never had crisp of any kind. This was always a staple in our house, because we had rhubarb, lots and lots of it ! Over the years I have found a crisp, or crumble, to be my favorite "go-to" dessert because it is quick, easy and you almost always have the ingredients on hand to make it. I often make them to use up fruit when I "over-purchase" at the Farmer's Market, which I do quite frequently. They freeze beautifully, then I can just pull one out and toss it in the oven. I was thinking spring when I purchased this fruit at the store, but I bought more than we could eat in a week, so I had to make crisp, of course !
I like to make them in individual serving dishes when we have guests coming over, so everyone gets their own. And, we like them with a simple, homemade vanilla ice cream, served warm. This was my first try at this combination, using up some fruit we had in the refrigerator, but I will make it again, most certainly !
Fresh Strawberry Blueberry Crisp
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, toss together fruit, sugar, Grand Marnier, vanilla and lemon juice and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients, until crumbly and pea sized. Spray 4 individual oven proof dishes with non-stick spray. Divide fruit into dishes, and then divide topping over the fruit. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

OK, before you all send me links to this Pitchfork article about this upcoming short film based on a Miranda July short story and starring Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark, let me just stop you and inform you of the following:
1. I already know about it.
2. The film is directed by the sister of PA contributor and friend RZS, so I'm feeling a bit more measured with regard to my feelings about the project. Also, RZS, who served as the film's producer, tells me that they "de-quirkified" the story on which the film is based.
3. I'm still unable to undo the Web of Twee that has suddenly taken over my life.
So: Everybody carry on. I'm going to wait till I see the film before I pass judgment on this one. I know, I know, it's *so* not like me. I'm hoping that things will change around the Lunar New Year. Otherwise this blog's going under.
