->We're looking for feedback on CenterLines and if you have something
to say, let us hear it! This is issue 64. We've been around for 1.5
years or so and that's a good point to see how we're doing. Of course,
we like general comments (like "Fabulous job!" or "More interesting
than the Simpsons!" or even "I WENT TO SLEEP HALF WAY THROUGH!").
But beyond such broad brush missives, we'd like some specifics to help
guide us in future issues. So, if you would point your browswer to
http://www.bikewalk.org/CenterLines_poll.htm you can take a quick poll
that will really help us shape future issues of this bulletin. There
are only 10 multiple-choice questions with associated buttons and
checkboxes, so you'll be done within minutes! We really appreciate the
help. (And, hang around after you've voted to see the results page and

-> A recent "Notebook" item in Governing magazine asks, "What are
sidewalks for? If you think they are for pedestrians to walk safely,
then welcome to Atlanta, where the state Department of Transportation
considers them to be 'auto recovery zones.' As the DOT sees it, the
sidewalk is a buffer, so if a driver veers off the road while talking
on his cell phone, he has a chance to yank the car back on the road.
"This startling piece of information came out when a developer tried to
get the DOT's permission to plant trees between his development's
sidewalks and the street, to give the walkways a shaded appearance.
Absolutely not, the DOT said. If a car hit a tree, one official said,
it would surely hurt the car. But if a car roars up on a sidewalk,
there's a chance it won't hit any pedestrians..."
Comment: From a non-DOT perspective, street trees might well be called
"Pedestrian Protection Devices" intended to stop motorists' runaway
cars before they kill someone on foot. At least at urban speeds, a
motorist is more likely to live through a collision with a tree than a
pedestrian is to live after being run down by a careening car. -JW

-> According to a Feb. 13th news release, "The U.S. House of
Representatives is expected to approve tonight legislation wrapping up
months of debate over funding for the federal government for fiscal
year 2003. Included in the massive Omnibus Appropriations bill for
Fiscal Year 2003, is language championed by Congressman Earl Blumenauer
(D-Ore.) to improve conditions for bicyclists in and around the U.S.
Capitol Grounds.
"'Bicyclists are an indicator species for livable communities, so it's
important that we do what we can to provide safe and convenient
routes,' said Blumenauer. 'I applaud my colleagues for ensuring that we
will work together with the District of Columbia in the coming year to
improve conditions for bicyclists.' The bill to be considered tonight,
directs the Capitol Police and Architect of the Capitol to coordinate
with the District Department of Transportation to 'create safe routes
for bicyclists in and around the Capitol grounds in a manner that
encourages bicycling without sacrificing security concerns.'
"In the wake of September 11, 2001, security concerns led to the
posting of signs prohibiting bicyclists on Capitol grounds. The Capitol
grounds have for years been an important link to Capitol Hill, the
National Mall, and downtown for thousands of commuting and recreational
bicyclists. As the founder of the Congressional Bike Caucus, which
enjoys the bi-partisan support of over 100 Members of Congress,
Congressman Blumenauer has been an active spokesman for bicycling. He
commutes by bike daily to his Capitol Hill office and often conquers
local traffic congestion by biking to meetings throughout the downtown
area. The bill is expected to be approved tonight by the House and is
scheduled to be considered by the Senate tomorrow and subsequently
signed into law by the President."

-> In a Jan. 24th speech before the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Winter
Meeting, Secretary Tommy Thompson of the Department of Health and Human
Services introduced his "Steps to a Healthier U.S." initiative in this
"One initiative that I'm particularly excited about - and not just
because it was my idea - is the $125 million 'Steps to a Healthier
U.S.' initiative to prevent diabetes, obesity and asthma by promoting
community-based healthier lifestyles. That means we're going to be
working with you, the mayors and communities, to support community
prevention efforts, encouraging healthier lifestyles for hundreds of
thousands of Americans. We will provide grants to you, on a competitive
basis, to develop innovative techniques to reduce chronic diseases in
your communities - literally to create a healthier society. Healthier
families. Happier people. And, yes, lower health costs. It's all part
of our campaign to make prevention a centerpiece of American health
care. Why not make a healthy investment up front to keep people from
getting sick in the first place?
"Why is this important? Consider that more than 108 million adults are
either obese or overweight. 19.8 percent of Americans were obese or
overweight in 2000 - and the proportion rose to nearly 21 percent in
2001. Obesity and overweight cost our nation $117 billion a year in
direct and indirect costs, and roughly 300,000 Americans die each year
due to weight-related illnesses. And being overweight or obese leads to
additional complications, such as diabetes - a scourge that is hurting
far too many Americans. 17 million have diabetes, and 16 million have
pre-diabetes. Each year, there are 1 million new cases and 200,000
people die from this awful disease. My friends, we can do something
about this. And we will."

-> David Cubberley of the Greater Victoria Bike To Work Society (BTWS)
from Victoria, British Columbia, recently sent us a copy of the
organization's "Behaviour Change Model for Bike To Work Week
Campaigns," which is intended to "lay the foundation for an action plan
to increase cycling in Canada." The proposal says, in part "Past
efforts to induce conversion to cycling using a promotional campaign
known as Bike To Work Week have enjoyed limited success. The Bike To
Work Society has redesigned the original BTWW campaign, using team
formation, peer example, employer endorsement and access to skill
development to enable behaviour change and effectively expand commuter
"The model has been refined and its reach increased for five years,
achieving a record of 304 teams and over 3500 riders in 2002.The
Society proposes federal government support for a three-year process to
template the Victoria model for transfer to other cities, to help
address the related challenges of declining fitness and spiralling
emissions.The proposal responds to Canada?s obligations under the Kyoto
Protocol and to a call for a national action plan flowing from Health
Canada's 1998 National Survey on Active Transportation. A synopsis of
the model's key features and support programs is provided.A detailed
project and budget proposal will be developed in response to
expressions of interest."

-> According to LightGuard Systems' website, the company now makes a
"snowplow resistant in-roadway warning signal" designed for use in the
Snow Belt. Their lighting system is installed in the pavement surface
and flashes when a pedestrian pushes a button. The snowplow resistant
version "is made using high-strength impact resistant metal alloy, and
is designed to be self-cleaning and debris free. The circular design
allows for snowplow blade impact resistance from any direction . It is
mounted onto a metal baseplate approximately 1 inch deep into the
roadway and extends approximately 0.5 inches above the roadway surface.
The design also allows for easy signal head access."

Transportation Campaign's Mobilizing the Region newsletter, "The
[Connecticut] legislature's transportation committee will soon schedule
a hearing to consider a bill to fund 'safe routes to school' projects
throughout the state. Cities and towns have worked with the CT Bicycle
Coalition over the last several years to plan sidewalk, traffic calming
and bikeway improvements between residential neighborhoods and school
sites. However, ConnDOT has provided little funding for identified
improvements. The bill, PHB 5687, would designate 15% of the federal
'hazard elimination' funds ConnDOT receives from the FHWA for a safe
routes to school funding program. A similar bill was introduced but not
enacted last year.
"The Bicycle Coalition has publicized the fact that pedestrian
fatalities make up an average of 16% of all of our motor
vehicle-related deaths in Connecticut, and argues that the bill would
begin to redress a public safety issue that state government ignores.
The proposed legislation is supported by CT Safe Kids, CT Chapter of
the American Planning Association and Transportation Choices Coalition
of CT (of which the Tri-State Campaign is a member). It is sponsored by

mile-long park above the tracks connecting the new South San Francisco
BART station with the San Bruno station. Officials hope the project

new BART station when it opens this spring. The city has plans for a
transit village near the BART station, and officials hope the

"The park will cost about $6.4 million, according to the architect's
report. A $75,000 grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission
funded the park plans and an extensive community outreach. The park
was part of the original agreement between BART and the city when the
City Council approved the new stop in 1997. Under it, BART will pay for

officials hope a reopened Sixth Street Viaduct will -- after 16 months

years, the place where everyone used to go to work,' said Lilith
Fowler, director of City Development and head of the Menomonee Valley

opens up a whole new part of the city that Milwaukeeans have never had
access to before.' The new Sixth Street Viaduct -- opened on Sept. 4.

Milwaukee's south side by spanning the Menomonee River and the South
Menomonee River Canal. Construction on the $50 million bridge began in
earnest in May 2001, when the old viaduct was closed to traffic...
"The viaduct is 80 feet wide, with four lanes of traffic and two
bicycle lanes and sidewalks. Before the construction, access to the
valley had been limited to a series of pedestrian ramps and stairways
on the old viaduct. 'Instead of the standard highway-style span that
was first envisioned for the site, we have a beautiful landmark and a
powerful economic connector for nearby neighborhoods,' Mayor John
Norquist said in a press release. 'It truly is a gateway to Walker's

Critical Mass, which organizes huge group bicycle rides that often
close city streets to frustrated motorists, have filed four suits in

improper arrests and wrongly seized property.
"Berkeley police officials and the city attorney declined to comment on
the lawsuits, which seek damages ranging from $50,000 to $8 million.
Critical Mass has staged demonstrations in more than 50 U.S. cities.

I talk a good bit about dogs, but I love cats, too. I miss our Molly awfully...and I dream of adopting another cat, soon!
This post about common cat diseases struck me as important in the whole 'human-animal bond' discussion. After all, caring properly for our pets is job #2, isn't it? Job #1, of course, is loving them unconditionally.
If you like the post, please share on social. It's worth a share, in my opinion. (I wouldn't be sharing it, otherwsie.)
The Cat Lover's Guide To Common Diseases
It's very upsetting when a pet is sick. The most disturbing thing is not knowing what exactly is wrong, not knowing how to help your furry little friend who depends on you. Cats are more subtle about expressing themselves than dogs, so you'll have to pay very close attention.
How Your Cat Can Tell You What's Wrong
Your cat may not be able to tell you if she is not feeling well, but an observant pet owner can tell if something's wrong. For starters, a cat's first instinct on being ill or injured is to find someplace quiet and secluded to hide and attempt to sleep it off. Know your cat and you will know what will be unusual for that particular pet. If a usually cuddly cat starts to avoid others or a usually independent cat becomes clingy, something is wrong. Heightened aggressiveness or lethargy are both extremes that may signal an underlying disease. A common symptom to the worst cat illnesses is either excessive drinking or not drinking. Pay close attention to changes in appetite and litter box habits. Cats generally love grooming themselves so if your kitty is looking disheveled, there's something wrong. If your cat is paying excessive attention to one area while grooming, it may be because they have pain in that area.

Complaints about the name is usually a good sign. It means people aren't finding issues with the functionality.... And that is what really matters!As a developer my aim is having the client saying "I like it but I don't like the red theme... and could you change the wording on the main page"
What kinds of names are discs are supposed to have? I don't think the names sound corny by themselves, but put them together and an obvious theme emerges... maybe that's a bit corny. Are we to expect a "Jailbreak" or a "Lockdown" next? Or a "Contraband"? Oh, I know! A super beefy, overstable, Drone-esque midrange called a "Bubba"! (Sold as a set with a really flippy, understable one called a "Punk b%tch", of course!)
Look for the next line to include a neutral putter called "The Soap". Be careful not to drop it...

The Messiah in Ancient America
The story behind this book is as interesting as the book itself. One of the coauthors, Thomas Ferguson, founded a research organization named the New World Archaeological Foundation, which has among its purposes the exploration of Southern Mexico and Central America in hopes of finding materials which would "prove" the Book of Mormon as a true historical document (a brief history of this organization and its findings is contained in Appendix A of this book). Apparently in his latter years, although he remained active in the Church, Ferguson lost his testimony regarding both the Book of Abraham and the Book of Mormon. His family and friends claim that before his death he returned to a belief in the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. With an eye toward supporting this claim, Ferguson's son Larry hired Bruce Warren, an archaeologist at BYU, to edit and update his father's One Fold and One Shepherd, originally published in 1958. The examination of Ferguson's life must be left to his biographers; here we can only review the resultant book.
The idea behind the book is a simple one–to find parallels between the cultures of the New World and the ancient Near East and Christianity, specifically between the accounts of the New World deity Quetzalcoatl and the story of the visit of Christ to the ancient inhabitants of America as recorded in the Book of Mormon. Efforts are focused on the area of Mesoamerica, the region currently espoused by many Book of Mormon scholars as the homeland of the Nephites and Lamanites.
The book contains some interesting material which should be looked at by anyone interested in the Book of Mormon as it relates to Mesoamerican archaeology. However, it also has some serious problems. The book is very uneven. Bruce Warren had a difficult task since he had to take a book which had been written thirty years previously, edit and update it, and yet leave major portions of the book untouched since it was to be a "tribute to Thomas Stuart Ferguson" (see back cover). Recognizing which sections were penned by Ferguson and which by Warren is a simple matter. The former was unfortunately not very critical in the use of his sources and his tone lacks the caution that should accompany any work of this type. For example, I feel he lent too much credence to reports by Spanish explorers regarding elements of the New World culture which are similar to Christianity. It should be remembered that these explorers were Christians themselves and tended to view things in Christian terms. If the explorers had been Hindus from India I suspect we would read of how "Hindu-like" the culture of New World inhabitants was. Ferguson tended to use words like "prove" and "identical with" where the evidence presented does not warrant the use of these words; he should rather have used "suggest" and "similar to." Finally, he used the "shot-gun" approach; instead of focusing on a specific topic with intensity and caution, he blasts away at it with a wide range of universalisms, hoping to hit it somehow. The problem with the "shot-gun" approach is that, although he does hit the target occasionally, much of his ammunition is wide of the mark.
A specific example will illustrate many of these difficulties. At the beginning of chapter two he claims that the date of Christ's crucifixion and ascension is "confirmed" by Don Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora (1645-1700), an expert on ancient Mexican history who "must have known [that] Quetzalcoatl was the true Shepherd" (pp. 29-31). The evidence Ferguson gives for Siguenza's alleged confirmation is very feeble. The book in which Siguenza is supposed to have revealed his belief "mysteriously disappeared at the time of his death and has never been found" (p. 30). Ferguson relies on a second-hand account of the book written some two hundred years after Siguenza's death in which Siguenza is said to have believed that the Apostle Thomas preached in the New World. Ferguson claims that Siguenza only "pretended to give the apostle Saint Thomas credit for establishing Christianity in Mesoamerica" (p. 30) and is using "'coded' or disguised language [to] tell us that Quetzalcoatl was the resurrected Messiah of the Bible" (p. 29). He bases his conclusion on the title of Siguenza's long-lost book, Phoenix of the West, claiming that the word Phoenix refers to the resurrected Christ. The problem is that the word Phoenix could just as well refer to any number of other things. Any time an author must resort to the invention and breaking of "coded or disguised" language, a signal should go off in the head of the reader.
There are many more examples of this kind of scholarly malpractice throughout the book which cannot be treated here. What should be mentioned is the solidness of Warren's contributions. For example, his examination of volcanic activity in Mesoamerica around the time of the death of the Savior in the Old World is cautious, even-handed, and very interesting. But even Warren is aware of the limitations of this book. In the preface he writes that "this book still depends too much on lists of words and technological traits that are removed from the proper language and cultural contexts necessary for final acceptance by the scholarly community" (p. xiv). Thus, in part this book demonstrates the methodological advances made in Mormon archaeological studies in the last thirty years, i.e., in the interval between Ferguson's writing and Warren's writing and edition. This means that readers must be discerning in their use of this book. I agree with the statement of John L. Sorenson, on the book cover, that "the careful reader of this work is bound to discover a good deal of valuable new information" (emphasis mine), as long as it is understood that the crucial operative word in that statement is "careful."

Pillows made for my quilt guild's show boutique. The four all in a line are quilted and pieced. The big one below is not quilted, it is a panel with the same design on both sides, designed to be a 21-24 inch pillow, the selvage label says "Liberty" but I think this is a bit of a scam, making one think it is Liberty of London when I think it is some other fabric manufacturer.
The four pillows are 12x12 and have solid backs. I put zippers in all of them so the pillow form can be taken out if one desires. I ran into a problem which is that my newish sewing machine didn't come with a zipper foot and I have not needed one for a long time having stopped making clothes quite a while ago. I have an ancient (isn't one definition of antique 50 years old or more?) Riccar that is now 51 years old. It's mechanism for lifting the foot is broken and it has other problems. It has sewn probably hundreds of zippers and maybe a million miles of seams for me and I couldn't bear to throw it away. And, yes, I resurrected it and struggled with the foot lift and put in the zippers. I'm very, very glad that for once I was not sensible; I kept it out of some kind of sentimental attachment.
I also struggled with the IPhoto program to crop the picture of the four quilts and couldn't do it.

The Cavanaugh Flight Museum and the Commemorative Air Force (formerly Confederate Air Force) have reached an agreement to get the world's only airworthy B-29 back in the air.
Jim Cavanaugh has pledged $1.2 million to rebuild the engines on "FIFI," the CAF's B-29.
"This sponsorship, together with additional donations from CAF members, should go a long way toward … putting 'FIFI' back in the air again," said Stephan Brown, CAF president and CEO. "Fundraising for 'FIFI' will continue, as we still have other restoration maintenance to perform, but Jim Cavanaugh's generosity will get us a long way down that track."
"The B-29 played such a significant role in history that it is important that this airplane be preserved. Because of my close relationship with the CAF, I felt the need to get FIFI flying again," said Cavanaugh, who provides the main financial support for the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, Texas, just north of Dallas. Cavanaugh has been a long time benefactor of warbird projects and the CAF.
With the new agreement, the CAF's B-29/B-24 Squadron Staff, which operates the organization's B-29 and B-24A, voted to base the two airplanes at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum.
"Up to now, these aircraft were based out of Midland, but this move will be beneficial to the Squadron in many ways," said Lyn Fite, the squadron leader. "We will reside in Addison, Texas, at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum, for the six months while we perform annual maintenance and we will tour on behalf of the CAF for the other six months."
Steve Sheridan, the museum's director of maintenance, added: "We have the facilities and resources to assist the B-29/B24 volunteers and look forward to helping in any way we can."
Visitors to the museum will be able to see the famous bombers during annual maintenance, at no additional cost, added Doug Jeanes, the museum director.

2016 cheat sheet: New Orleans Saints
To get you ready for the 2016 NFL season, the PFF analysis crew is assembling team "cheat sheets" to catch you up on the latest changes, grades, and rankings of note involving your NFL team.
Following a 7-9 campaign in 2015, the New Orleans Saints are looking to bounce back into NFC South contention this season. With a veteran signal caller and impressive line on the offensive side of the ball, can the Saints' defense improve enough to vault New Orleans back into the playoff conversation?
Three biggest things to know
1. The Saints' success still rests on the arm of Drew Brees.
Drew Brees finished the 2015 season as the sixth-highest graded quarterback in the NFL with a 90.7 overall grade. He was one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the league, with an adjusted completion percentage of 76.9, and was the second-most accurate deep-ball thrower, with an adjusted completion rate of exactly 50 percent on throws 20+ yards downfield. Brees has shown no signs of slowing down as he ages, and the Saints will count on him to have another huge year to lead this team to success.
2. The offensive line is very good, and has the potential to be great.
This is a unit anchored by LT Terron Armstead, the third-highest graded tackle in football last season, at 90.8. Meanwhile, Tim Lelito earned the sixth-best run-blocking grade among NFL guards, and Max Unger recorded the sixth-best pass-blocking grade among centers. Sophomore G Andrus Peat should show improvement as he matures in the league after an average rookie season in which he had a handful of bright spots. Finally, RT Zach Strief is only a few years removed from being a top-three tackle in the NFL. This unit is already good, but if all five starters reach their potential, it could be one of the best O-lines in the league.
3. Aside from Cameron Jordan, the front-seven is the weak link on this team.
Cameron Jordan is good, there are no questions about that. His 89.9 overall grade last year ranked sixth among all edge defenders. Outside of Jordan, however, the Saints don't have a lot going on up front. They'll need big contributions from rookie DT Sheldon Rankins (Louisville) if he can return from injury healthy, and newly-signed DT Nick Fairley (83.3 overall grade last year). The linebacker corps has very little going for it other than sophomore Stephone Anthony and his potential improvement this season.
Key arrivals and departures
Top three draft picks: DT Sheldon Rankins (Round 1, pick No. 12 overall, Louisville), WR Michael Thomas (Round 2, pick No. 47 overall, Ohio State), S Vonn Bell (Round 2, pick No. 61 overall, Ohio State)
Signed in free agency: TE Coby Fleener (Colts), LB James Laurinaitis (Rams), DT Nick Fairley (Rams), Craig Robertson (Browns)
Left via free agency: CB Brandon Browner (Seahawks), S Rafael Bush (Lions), WR Marques Colston (UFA), G Jahri Evans (UFA), LB David Hawthorne (UFA), RB Khiry Robinson (UFA), TE Ben Watson (Ravens)
Rookie to watch
Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State (Round 2, pick No. 47 overall)
If Sheldon Rankins wasn't hurt, he likely would have grabbed this spot on the cheat sheet, but that's not to say Michael Thomas isn't someone to keep a lookout for. Thomas was very high on our draft board thanks to his strong hands and ability to make plays after the catch. He's a player who doesn't appear to be especially great at any one thing, but is very good at everything. It wouldn't be a huge surprise to see Thomas turn into Brees' No. 2 option after Brandin Cooks.
Highest-graded player of 2015
Terron Armstead, LT, 90.8 overall grade
Armstead is one of the best offensive tackles in the game, and he plays a very balanced game. His run-blocking grade of 88.4 ranked second among tackles last season, while his pass-blocking mark was fourth. Last season, he allowed just three sacks and 20 total pressures; his pass-blocking efficiency of 97.2 was the fourth-highest among OTs. Teams want the best of the best protecting their QB's blindside, and the Saints have that for Brees with Armstead.
Breakout watch
Delvin Breaux, CB, 85.2 overall grade in 2015
There are few better stories currently in the NFL than that of Delvin Breaux. A former CFL all-star that didn't play college football after fracturing his spine in high school, Breaux finally got his chance to play in the NFL last season. He ended the year with the 10th-highest overall grade among corners. Breaux was targeted 82 times last season and allowed just 40 catches for 565 yards and three interceptions. His 13.5 coverage snaps per reception allowed ranked 10th in the NFL. He did allow a league-leading 10 touchdowns, so he has to improve there, but if he can get that number down, keep an eye on Breaux to continue climbing the CB ranks.
Projected lineups
Nickel defense (2015 season grades shown)
Offense with three receivers (2015 season grades shown)

My project is all about environmental and community responsibility. I'm a custom surfboard builder that wants to help make a change in our toxic industry while also taking action to help protect a rare California coastal habitat.
I want to build a line of environmentally friendly-er surfcraft to offer at an upcoming art show and auction, then pay it forward by donating the profit from the show to a great local organization. The boards will bring attention to environmentally conscious surfboard building materials while allowing me to expand my horizons as a small business and at the same time donate a lump of cash to a worthy cause…I can't think of anything better!
The funding of the campaign will allow me to use plant-sap based resins and recycled foam products to build a collection of beautiful surfboards. Once my work is finished I'm going to hold an art show/silent auction and donate the profit from the line's sales to the Save Naples Coalition, a small group of people helping to protect one of the last areas of privately owned coastline on the Gaviota coast from major development.
Larger scale change is always spurred on by grass roots efforts that raise consumers' expectations. I want to be part of the challenge and help change the demands that customers put on our industry.
As surfers, we rely completely on our environment for our pleasure, and we tax it heavily in the process. The act of building a surfboard has been known for a long time to be very toxic, yet the industry has turned a blind eye towards the effect that it has on our surroundings as well as the effect it has on the people who build them. The chemicals contained in polyester resins and polyurethane foams are extremely high in VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) and are widely known to cause cancer and serious health problems. Not only does using better materials turn a surfboard more environmentally sound, it creates a healthier environment for the builder.
The resins that I want to use, in place of VOC-rich polyester, are a plant-sap based resin which is extremely strong and readily available. Not only do they put less strain on the environment in production, they have the potential to outlast traditional products, making the demand for new surfboards far less.
The technologies required to make a better surfboard are no longer experimental, they're high quality and available for those willing the invest the time and money necessary. The materials are new and cost more than traditional ones but create a valuable and conscious product.
I'm excited for the possibilities ahead and the projects that will come from your support!

And if you want to learn more about my obsession, check out my work in and around surf craft at www.RLovelace.com, or check my blog for near-daily updates (over three years of 'em now!) at www.pcProgress.blogspot.com
Thank you SO much for your time and donation if you choose, I'm humbled and honored to be able to do what I do for a living with or without this campaign. I'd like to do my part to make it healthier for all of us and our ocean as I find my way through it!

We just found an interesting new feature on the Weather Channel site for Belize, which a chart of the sun and moon's path on a graph. The graph shows the daily time of the sunrise and sunset, twilight times, and the angle of the sun above the horizon all on one graph, as well as the sun's current position on the graph line. It also shows the moon's path and phase on the same format.
If you are planning a trip to Belize and want to hit a certain phase of the moon, this will come in really handy!

14 April 2010
Members at Siemens have voted overwhelmingly to accept a revised pay offer to resolve their dispute.
Members' vote has resolved the pay dispute at Siemens. Pic: Tony Scott.
In the consultative ballot that closed today (Wednesday 14 April) 89.9 per cent of members opted to accept the revised pay deal. The figure opposed was 11.1 per cent.
"Members have voted to accept the pay offer and therefore this resolves the outstanding trade dispute and the industrial action ballot is now null and void," confirmed national official, Suresh Chawla.
Staff at Siemens will now receive a consolidated flat rate payment of £300 (pro-rata for part-time staff) and arrangements will be made to follow through on discussions about performance related pay.
Last month, Siemens staff voted by a majority of 80 per cent in favour of strike action to pursue their dispute. However, management's acceptance of the union's invitation to further talks secured an improved pay offer.
Members will be consulted again as the talks on PRP progress.

Wedding Bridal Showers
Bridal Shower Games are a fun part of the lead-up to your big day. Of course, be prepared to be embarrassed - there's no way you'll avoid that! :)
The bridal shower (sometimes called kitchen tea) is put on by the bridesmaids to prepare the bride for her impending marriage. Tradition has it that a bride would be preparing to set up her own home for the first time, and so her bridesmaids, friends, mothers and relatives would 'shower' her with homeware type gifts.
Obviously, in this modern age, it's somewhat rare to find a bride-to-be who is still living at home, so while the tradition is not necessarily appropriate these days, any excuse for a good party and lots of cool gifts is always welcome. After all, you can never have too many kitchen goodies!
Also, it's a great opportunity for some female bonding and perhaps learning a few pearls of married life wisdom from the ladies who have already been married.
Here's a couple of example bridal shower games you might like to play:
How well does the bride know the groom?
In advance of the bridal shower, ask the groom 20 or so questions about himself. At the shower, have everyone ask how well they think the bride knows her groom. Have them write down how many of the questions they think she will get right. Some question ideas are: "What was his first pet and it's name?". "His favorite....music group, color, and so on." "How old was he when.... he had his first kiss, etc."
Another fun bridal shower game is:
Famous T.V. Couples
Write down the last names of at least 20 famous T.V. couples, and your friends and family have to figure out the first names. Give them only about 5 minutes to guess the names. Then read the first names and the T.V. show that they were from. It's a fun game to play! Whoever gets the most wins the game.
These 2 are just a SMALL selection of fun bridal shower games you might like to use. To see the full list, check out Bridalshower.com's Bridal Shower Games complete list. Thanks to them for the 2 examples.
Did You Know?
The chief bridesmaid is usually a sister or close friend of the bride. However, if she is already married herself or if the bride is a widow and is re-marrying, her title becomes Matron of Honour.
True Bride is one of the most comprehensive Australian wedding directories with over 15,000 wedding suppliers listed nationally.

Growth for business support firm
Fri 28 October 2016, 12:37 pm
A social enterprise, supporting businesses which are starting out, has expanded into new premises.
Funded by Harrow Council and operated by Meanwhile Space, the two-year Start Here programme enables local business to use low cost workspace and free pop-up shops in vacant or underused premises.
The Start Here scheme began in October 2015 from a vacant shop opposite Harrow and Wealdstone station at 1 The Bridge. It then expanded into the former Rayners Lane library site in March 2016, creating low cost co-working areas, a free pop-up shop and flexible event space.
The project has now added two 'Step Up' spaces, taking two formerly vacant shops on Wealdstone High Street. They are now available for businesses which have already operated from pop-up shops at 1 The Bridge or Rayners Lane for up to a month and are ready for the next step. They will be given a larger space for a longer period of time.
The space is available for free, and users are only asked to pay a refundable deposit and make a contribution towards utilities.
Harrow residents or people wishing to work in the borough can register for space in one of the premises by presenting their proposals during regular idea building sessions: the next will take place on 9 November from 6.30 to 7.45pm at 226 Imperial Drive.
Fifty businesses have been part of the programme so far. "The feedback received from the space users has been incredibly positive," Anna Burton of Start Here told BIG. "They said that using the space has helped to develop their business and enabled them to get customer feedback.
"It has also been an invaluable promotional tool, helping increase awareness of their services in the local area, driving traffic to their websites and social media, allowing them to network and make links with potential clients or collaborators. Most importantly, it has boosted their confidence."
Pop-up shops in the anchor site and in the former Rayners library can be taken up for a maximum of four weeks, that in Wealdstone High Street is available for three months. Workspace can be used for up to six months.
"It's such a fantastic scheme for local businesses and entrepreneurs," said Waverley George, who has been selling her Waverley G urban streetwear at the pop-up shop in Wealdstone.
"I feel like the shop was a great success," added Harrow-based artist Lolita Parekh. "It went beyond my expectations, so I could not have asked for more."
The project will be active until March 2017. More information can be found here. People wishing to apply can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
