Remove rug from staircase, now what?
Hi folks....pulled up the rug from the staircase and do not wish to put rug back down.I just finished the whole house in hardwood so would like to do the same, so here's my problem I would rather not remove all the spindles and rails, I'm afraid I will never get it back together with the same strength.
Under the rug is 2x10 rough. Thought about laying the hardwood then cutting around the spindles,,,but thought it wood look sh,,.....any suggestions .....thxs
Th only way to do it right is to remove the spindles.
It will also make much easier to reinstall spindles if one accidentally breaks.
Good luck!!
I don't know the style of your house but painted stairs can took very traditional. A dark floor paint on the treads and white/cream on the risers would be my suggestion.
Not only do you need to remove the spindles, you need to cut all your noses... then install hardwood... it can be done and people doing them all the time... just a lot of work... labour is $100 per step I heard...
I had an estimate done for my stair case. Remove all MDF treads and install and finish oak. $150 per step labor and materials.
that is about right ... as material is real expensive... for the nose itself...it is about $30 per step....
In my previous home, when I pulled up the carpet on the stairs I found pine rough in. I filled the staples holes, sanded, sanded some more, sanded, and sanded some more. I then stained and applied numerous coats of polyurethane. I got numerous compliments on the stairs.
I find 100-150$ too much to spend on 15 stairs+a landing at this time...never expected it to be that costly...so thanks the feed-back...btw which part of the stair case is the nose....thxs
The nose is the edge on the tread where your foot put most stress on most of the time... it is extended out so that it is not a right angle ... as right angle steps make walking really uncomfortable...

I love history. For me, fiction and fantasy have never been as captivating and exhilarating as uncovering an accurate understanding of the significant events of the past. As an undergraduate student I had real difficulty in deciding whether to major in history or philosophy. I ended up taking the equivalent of a double major.
I am a passionate student of the history of Western civilization as well as the history of the United States, especially the American Civil War and World War II. This passion for history, however, sometimes poses problems when it comes to family vacations. My wife prefers excursions to Yosemite and Yellowstone whereas I enjoy trips to Washington, D.C., and Virginia.
One of the things that I appreciate most about my faith is its deep roots in history. To be a Christian is to know the person of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Yet being a believer also means being part of a great historical movement—a member of the dynamic and historic Christian church.
As a Christian, church history is therefore my history. Unfortunately, many believers today know very little about the history of their faith. Yet the church's past teaches many critical lessons that today's Christians could greatly benefit from. Remember the sober warning of the philosopher George Santayana:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Protestant Christianity
The three historic branches of Christendom consist of Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. The word "Protestant" when pronounced phonetically becomes "protest-ant." Historically Protestant Christianity began as a protest movement. A group of Western Christians in the sixteenth century began disputing some of the beliefs and practices of the medieval Roman Catholic Church. Clear precursors of the Reformation movement were found in such medieval theologians as John Wycliffe (1330-1384) and John Huss (1369-1415) who had likewise criticized certain church doctrines and practices one hundred years before.
However, the word "Protestant" can also be understood in a positive sense ("pro-testant:" one who testifies to the truth of Scripture). The origin of Protestant Christianity can be directly traced to the teachings and actions of both the sixteenth century magisterial Reformers—principally Martin Luther (1483-1546), Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531), John Calvin (1509-1564), and John Knox (1513-1572)—and the leaders of the Radical Reformation—particularly those who were called Anabaptist..
While Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, and Knox did not share complete doctrinal unity, they were united on three principle theological points. These positions have been called the theological characteristics of Protestant Christianity. Here are those uniting points enumerated:
- Justification by faith alone (sola fide)
- Scripture as the supreme authority in faith and practice (sola Scriptura)
- Priesthood of all believers
I will briefly explore these critical features in successive installments of this series.
The influential Reformation movement in Europe in the sixteenth century was initially intended only to reform the Roman Catholic Church. Ultimately it ended up dividing the Western church and birthing a theological expression of Christianity that sought greater continuity with the teachings of Scripture. Many scholars view the Reformation as signaling the beginning of the modern era in Western civilization.
Since evangelical Christians today are the historical heirs of the Protestant Reformation, they should know their history. For as one scholar aptly put it:
"We don't live in the past, but the past lives in us."
To read about the Protestant Reformation, I suggest beginning with two works by Yale historian Roland H. Bainton Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther and The Reformation of the Sixteenth Century.

Breast Implants 360CC
- bri7
- Last updated: 3 years ago
Hello i ended up going for a 360CC Brazilian teardrop with a little bit of round implant i weigh aprox 50kg and was a B cup before i'm starting to think maybe i went to small. Do the implants shrink a lot when the swelling goes down? at the moment i am fitting into a D/DD cup sports bra but i'm liking them the way they are at the moment i don't want them to shrink to much so i'm thinking maybe i should of went for 400cc?? is there going to be must projection lost when they settle down?

I have read through a LOT of posts and see this noise is fairly common and 2-3 different things can be the source. But I figured it would be best to get an opinion from some of the experts here.
2003 T&C, 3.3L, 136k miles. For awhile it's had a rumbling/growling noise while idling. The noise goes away as soon as you give it any gas. Sometimes it wouldn't make a noise and instead be a squeaking type noise like a worn belt. New belt was put on about 6 months when water pump was replaced.
The growling noise usually is worse when the A/C is on but again would go away as soon as the RPM increased so I didn't think it would be the A/C compressor or clutch.
So today, I tried one of the easier things that I was capable of doing, I replaced the idler pulley. So far, NO noise while at idle with the A/C OFF.
I turned the A/C on and the noise comes back, but not as loud as before.
So could the same type noise be made by two different parts? From reading other posts, I see that the A/C clutch is a common issue on making a grumbling type noise. Is that hard to replace for a novice mechanic?

You have to give CPAC credit for trying. Three weeks before the Liberals name Justin Trudeau their next leader (oh, sorry — did I spoil the secret?), Canada's "only privately-owned, commercial free, not for profit, bilingual licensed television service," is trying to drum up some interest in what may be the year's most boring political story (Second Place goes to … Budget 2013! Take a bow, Jim Flaherty).
CPAC issued a "programming advisory" Friday urging viewers to:
Join CPAC tomorrow for LIVE coverage from Montreal as candidates vying for the Liberal leadership meet for their fifth and final debate. Six candidates remain, including Martin Cauchon, Deborah Coyne, Martha Hall Findlay, Karen McCrimmon, Joyce Murray and Justin Trudeau, with a new leader scheduled to be announced on April 14th in Ottawa. See where they stand on key national policy issues in their final debate performance.
Note: The Liberals will host a National Showcase for the candidates on April 6th in Toronto.
Gee, Martin Cauchon, Deborah Coyne, Martha Hall Findlay, Karen McCrimmon
Joyce Murray, all together on one stage, to explain why they're still wasting their money pretending they might become Liberal leader, when everyone (including themselves — and if they don't, they don't have the cognitive skills to be leader anyway) knows Justin has it wrapped up. The fact that fellow no-hoper David Bertschi
Thursday recommends him in retrospect, since at least he has the capacity to recognize the futility of his position.
Or maybe he just didn't want to face up to the sad state of the party, and how obvious it has become. The brief bit of positive press the contest garnered a couple of weeks ago, when it announced it had lured almost 300,000 Canadians into agreeing to describe themselves as "supporters" — no money or commitment required — has dissolved into a bit of a farce. First it emerged that most of the "supporters" were really just internet fans dazzled by the star qualities of Justin Trudeau. Then the party had to admit that barely a third could be talked into taking the next step, and actually registering to vote. That was followed by the Trudeau camp demanding the deadline be extended, so it could add to the total by which it expected to swamp the other candidates. The party elders, somewhat shamefully, agreed, but despite an extra week — and a phone campaign to plead with the holdouts —
showed the best they could do was another few thousand, bringing the total to 40% of the proclaimed 300,000.
Only 11 per cent of registrants are from Quebec, and 13 per cent from B.C.
Worse, they're not savvy young prospects who can be tapped as the coming generation of the Liberal Party. Uh, no. An analysis of the ones who bothered to register found about half live in Ontario, mostly in urban areas, and 60% are over 50. So there's your eager new Liberal fan base: Ontario baby-boomers who are closing in on retirement. According to C
only eight per cent are under age 25, and 13 per cent are between 25 and 34. In other words it's the same small urban-based central-Canadians who have stuck with the party until now. Only 11 per cent of registrants are from Quebec, and 13 per cent from B.C. Given that hopes of expanding the base is supposed to be Trudeau's big attraction, it's not a promising scenario. The Liberal party, to all intents and purposes, has become Toronto Boomers for Justin. Try and sell that west of Windsor.
Still, you have to give CPAC credit for trying.

Arreola, Adamek Quick Quotes
The April 24th clash between heavyweight contenders Cristobal "The Nightmare" Arreola (28-1, 25 KOs) and Tomasz "Goral" Adamek (40-1, 27 KOs) at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California, was officially announced today.
Arreola: "I'm sure Adamek will come prepared to beat me, but it's not gonna happen. A win over Adamek would get me a step closer to fighting for a world title again, which I am looking forward to doing in 2010. But first, April 24th. I think I will have to be 240 pounds, 245 max, because I don't believe he will want to exchange punches with me and it looks like I will have to chase him around the ring."
Adamek: "I will not run from Arreola. I will be easy to find in the ring, if he wants to find me. Why should I exchange punches with Chris, when I can make him miss, and then hit him? Whatever works for me on that day I will do. I think in the ring I will change tactics, I'll see what's gives me the greatest advantage during the fight."

|Study Start Date:
|October 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|February 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: engineered nasal cartilage graft
Biological intervention: autologous nasal chondrocytes expanded in vitro and cultured in a collagen Type I/III scaffold
Biological: engineered nasal cartilage graft
implantation of engineered nasal cartilage grafts in the alar lobule
Detailed Description:
Skin cancer is the most prevalent reason for surgically creating a multilayer defect, consisting of skin and cartilage, of the alar lobule of the nose. In reconstruction of these defects, a combination of local flaps and autologous cartilage, typically harvested from the nasal septum or the ear, is used to restore the stability, function and proper 3D shape of the alar lobule. Harvesting autologous cartilage from the ear has been associated with a number of complications that could be overcome by the use of engineered cartilage graft generated in vitro with autologous cells.
This study is a phase I, prospective, uncontrolled, investigator initiated clinical trial involving 5 patients, with the objective of demonstrating safety and feasibility in the use of engineered nasal cartilage grafts. The specific surgical target of the trial is the reconstruction of a two layer defect of the alar lobule using a tissue engineered nasal cartilage graft and a local flap, following resection of a non melanoma skin cancer.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- size of defect: ≥50% of alar subunit
- Extent of defect: 2 layer defect: skin and fibro-cartilaginous tissues
Exclusion Criteria:

The Telegraph Media Group's decision to charge people for access to its newspapers' website should be seen as a significant turning point, and not only for the publisher itself.
Its decision to erect a paywall around the content of the Daily and Sunday Telegraphs will give every other print media owner pause for thought, and they will surely scrutinise the initiative. Indeed, the Sun signalled last night it could start charging in the second half of this year.
Unlike the site for The Times and Sunday Times, which prevents any access to its content unless a person pays a subscription, the Telegraph group has chosen the so-called metered model. This allows everyone free access to 20 articles a month. After that, if they want to go on reading articles, then they must pay.
This model — a paywall with a gate — has been adopted by the New York Times and dozens of newspapers across the United States and Canada. It was also chosen by the Financial Times.
The reason, of course, is all about money or, to be more precise, a lack of money. Almost all newspaper publishers are trying to cope with falling revenues, from both advertising and sales, and need to identify a way of finding a new income stream.
Given that people have gradually become used to the idea of digital shopping, there is much less consumer resistance to online credit-card transactions. Even so, will they pay for what they can get free elsewhere? Well, that's not quite true of course. It's certainly the case that news — straight, factual reports — is widely available across the net and especially in Britain, where the free-to-access BBC is the leading provider.
What is unique, however, about British national newspapers is the fact that they are partisan, which is reflected not only in their team of commentators and columnists but also in the different ways in which they present the same news stories.
In other words, reader loyalty depends to a large extent on the fact that people like the "spin", for want of a better description, in their favoured title. They follow the columnists. They get comfortable with the accompanying material.
Although such allegiance is unlikely to ensure that every current online Telegraph reader agrees to pay for a subscription, it could well be a key factor in attracting the majority of them.
In order to lure people, the initial charges have been set fairly low. One package offers access for £1.99 per month (or £20 per year) while another, offering more digital bells and whistles, will cost £9.99 a month (or £99 per year).
Clearly, although the Telegraph claims to be making a profit, it is seizing the opportunity to build an online subscription habit among its readers because of uncertainty that profits can be guaranteed in future.Rivals who continue to allow free access, such as the Guardian and the Independent, will be carefully monitoring what happens at the Telegraph. Their strategy, thus far, accords with that at the Daily Mail.
These papers see greater value in building giant online audiences in the expectation that volume alone will help to attract advertising and other forms of digital sponsorship.
So the debate about whether or not to charge continues. Unsurprisingly, paywalls are the hottest of topics and will be the subject of a special session at this year's World Newspaper Congress in Bangkok.

Primary intraosseous haemangioma
Primary intraosseous haemangiomas are haemangiomas most frequently seen in the vertebrae or skull, and come in four histological varieties 1-2.
On this page:
Intraosseous haemangiomas are common, with vertebral lesions seen in 10-15% of the adult population. They are more commonly encountered in men (2:1 M:F ratio) and typically seen in the 4th-5th decade of life.
Clinical presentation
These tumors are slow growing and are generally asymptomatic unless they cause mass effect on sensitive structures. Occasionally they may present as a swelling or a palpable mass, especially in the skull. When large and strategically located they may present as a pathological fracture.
If they are high flow lesions then shunt related symptoms may also be present.
Primary intraosseous haemangiomas are slow growing vascular neoplasms, usually located in the medullary cavity. They are classified as benign, but rarely may be locally aggressive.
Histological sub types
Intraosseous haemangiomas come in four histologic types:
- intraosseous cavernous haemangioma
- intraosseous capillary haemangioma
- intraosseous arteriovenous haemangioma (may represent congenital arteriovenous malformations) 2
- intraosseous venous haemangioma
Histologically demonstrates hamartomatous vascular tissue within endothelium, but may also contain fat, smooth muscle, fibrous tissue, and thrombus.
It is important to note that it is difficult to distinguish between the various types (except for those with a large arterial component).
Location specific sub types
Radiographic features
Plain radiograph
Plain radiographs are usually first line and may be sufficient in vertbera or calvarial lesions. Findings include:
- prominent trabecular pattern
- sclerotic vertebra with vertical trabeculae: Corduroy sign
- lytic calvarial lesions with spoke-wheel appearance
- irregular and lytic in long bones, with a honeycomb appearance
Usually as an incidental finding, especially in the vertebrae.
Better visualization of thickened vertical trabeculation (polka-dot appearance)
Signal intensity is somewhat variable, depending largely on the amount of fat content.
- high is more common (fat rich)
- intermediate to low signal intensity is seen in fat poor haemangiomas
- T2: high
- T1 C+ (Gd): enhancement is often present
- STIR: intermediate or high
MRI is the ideal modality to demonstrates many mass-effect complications, such as neural impingement and extraosseous extension.
Nuclear medicine bone scan
Usually normal but may show increased or decreased uptake.
Treatment and prognosis
Treatment is reserved for symptomatic lesions, and a number of modalities exists:
- radiation therapy
- embolisation to reduce intraoperative blood loss
- surgical resection, especially if complicated by spinal cord compression
- vertebroplasty
- intralesional ethanol injection

Local enforcer: The Holden Caprice-based Chevrolet police pursuit vehicle has won several categories in the Michigan State police tests.
27 September 2011
By MIKE COSTELLO
HOLDEN'S Caprice-based pursuit car has once again impressed in a batch of US law enforcement tests pitting the latest crop of police vehicles against one another.
The Chevrolet Caprice PPV – which took out equal line honours in the Los Angeles County police vehicle trials earlier this year alongside the Ford Taurus Interceptor – won several categories in tests conducted by the Michigan State police.
For the second consecutive year, the 6.0-litre V8-powered Chevrolet took out the 96km/h-zero braking test by coming to a dead halt in just over 38 metres – 1.2 metres less than its Ford Taurus Interceptor archrival.
Lead development engineer of the PPV James Soo said that this equates to an average deceleration rate of 30.77 feet (9.4 metres) per second, which is "unprecedented for police cruisers".
"When we set out to develop the Caprice PPV, we received critical input from police officers around the nation and they told us they wanted a serious rear-drive performance cruiser," he said.
The big Chevy also won the top-speed challenge by clocking 248km/h at the Grattan raceway outside Detroit, compared to 238km/h for the Ford.
The 3.6L V6-powered Caprice variant also performed strongly, topping the naturally aspirated Dodge Charger V6 and Taurus Interceptor V6 variant in the 96km/h-zero brake test, as well as top speed and acceleration.
As GoAuto reported in July, at least two North American police departments – Georgia and Iowa – have taken delivery of the Adelaide-built PPV after the first examples were delivered to the US in May.
General Motors said the sheriff of Georgia's Forsyth County, Ted Paxton, committed to replacing his county's fleet of about 175 vehicles with Caprice PPVs.
US website Jalopnik also reported in July that a Maryland car dealer had sold a small number of Holden's Australian-made Chevrolet Caprice PPV local individuals, though GM has reportedly closed the legal loophole that made this possible.

David Cameron is to hold a special meeting with the backbench 1922 committee at which he is expected to be pressed on the limits of UK involvement in Libya.
The meeting has been called at the request of the 1922 executive – a relatively rare event in that the prime minister tends to meet the committee only a couple of times a year.
In public, support for the British Libyan involvement remains firm on the Conservative benches, but there is private anxiety about the depth of UK involvement, including the possibility that British commitment will be open-ended, costly and ultimately lead to the government openly taking sides with the rebels, so leading to a splintering of the coalition.
Some of the anxiety has been eased by the promise that the funding for military operations will come from the contingency fund, not from the Ministry of Defence.
The chancellor, George Osborne, has said the cost will be in the tens of millions. But Conservative backbench support is not unconditional, with some MPs angered by the lack of involvement of the African Union and the Gulf states.
The Conservative chairman of the foreign affairs select committee, Richard Ottaway, has so far bitten his tongue since British aircraft started to police the no-fly zone.
A candidate for the chairmanship of the 1922 committee last year, Ottaway has been concerned that Britain is heading back towards what he described as the "gung-ho Chicago doctrine" introduced by Tony Blair 12 years ago.
He warned: "We could get carried away unless we sit back, are rational and address the need for a clear legal basis."
Ottaway has also been concerned that a no-fly zone will lead ultimately to British troops on the ground, and will also expose the government to difficult questions about why Britain is intervening in Libya but not elsewhere in the Middle East.
He was sceptical about arming the Libyan rebels, saying: "There is very big difference between arming the rebels to protect themselves and to arm them to attack Gaddafi, and that would be tantamount to regime change."
In contrast, James Arbuthnot, the defence select committee chairman, has been a staunch supporter of stronger military involvement.
Mark Pritchard, a member of the 1922 committee executive and the vice-chairman of the Tory foreign affairs committee, is an advocate of arming the rebels.
He said recently: "Weaponry such as light machine guns, anti-tank and portable shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles, provided via an Arab country or a coalition of Arab countries, would immediately reduce Gaddafi's overwhelming military advantage, empower the increasingly beleaguered opposition forces and shell-shocked population, and would effect a rapid 'self-help' no-fly zone."
Bernard Jenkin, another member of the 1922 committee executive, has supported the no-fly zone but argued that the episode has shown that the strategic defence review already needs to be revisited.
Julian Brazier, another executive member, has also urged Cameron not be drawn into another major war.

EA Flips For Nintendo DS: Reader Apps Tested For Portable Gaming Devices
Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on October 29, 2009
Something interesting's afoot in the digital reading space. Quietly, companies are testing digital reading applications for portable gaming devices in select markets. Two developments of note:
- EA "Flips" for Nintendo DS: A reader app for Nintendo's portable gaming system, offered for now only in the UK. Aimed at 8- to 11-year-olds (a good fit for the install base of the DS). Content partnerships announced with UK book publishers Penguin and Egmont. Revenue model will be bundled downloads of multiple (6-8) titles for an a la carte price of £24.99. Interactive elements include quizzes, operated with the DS's touch screen and stylus.
- Marvel Comics and others on the Sony PSP: In August, Sony announced a digital reader app for the PSP that will launch in December in select countries (UK, US, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa). It announced a content partnership with Marvel Comics and said there would be more content partners with comics, graphic novels, and manga publishers to come. Marvel digital comics are already available online via subscription ($10/month or $60/year). Details on the app don't say how much comics will be on the PSP.
Why is this interesting?
- The market for digital reading is much bigger than the market for dedicated eReader devices. Nintendo has sold more than 100 million DS units worldwide, and Sony has sold more than 50 million PSPs. That's a huge install base! For context, Apple has sold more than 30 million iPhones and 20 million iPod touches. The market for dedicated reading devices is much smaller--Forrester estimates that so far Amazon has sold about 1.6 million Kindles and Sony has sold less than 1 million Reader devices--but it's catalyzing a shift in consumer behavior toward digital reading across devices.
- Portable gaming systems reach a demographic that isn't served by eReaders today. As we published in a report earlier this year, the first wave of eReader adopters were older, male, high-income tech optimists, and the second wave is a slightly younger, female consumer who buys and reads a lot of books. Though there might be some gifting potential for older kids with Sony's $199 Pocket Reader, for now, these are not devices for kids. For publishers, it makes sense to reach kids on devices that kids already own, including portable gaming devices. In its Flips press release, EA notes that 2 million 8- to 11-year-olds in the UK own Nintendo DSes.

Comment from DS Flips (not verified) on Thu, 12/17/2009 - 15:12
The software is great as are the books the software is based on. Hopefully these will get children reading more instead of playing video games all the time.

Priest Architect
Monsignor John Cyril Hawes (1876-1956) left a legacy of remarkable architecture that is now the basis of a pilgrimage trail in Western Australia. The trail includes the towns of Talgoo, Tardun, Morawa, Perejori, Northampton, Nanson and Geraldton. This one-time Anglican priest who joined the Roman Catholic Church ended his life as a hermit in the Bahamas. His story is told by biographer Tony Evans.
Rachael Kohn: Everything about Father John Cyril Hawes was unusual. And he left a trail of churches in Western Australia to prove it.
Hello, this is The Ark and I'm Rachael Kohn.
He was an Anglican priest, then a Catholic priest. He was an architect who preferred the Arts and Crafts school of William Morris to the gothic cathedrals favoured by Catholics. He was an adventurer who came to Australia but eventually preferred the solitude of a hermit's life. But not before he left a heritage trail of churches in Western Australia. Tony Evans, former ABC producer and biographer of Hawes, has seen all of them.
Tony Evans: I calculated years ago that there were about 24 buildings. Of course some of those are little more than ruins, chapels and little buildings which have fallen into decay. But there are a considerable number of very fine buildings which have been lovingly cared for and restored. So I always say 24, but I think I'd be a be a bit hard put to count them all up today.
Rachael Kohn: And are most of those churches?
Tony Evans: Most of them are churches. There are one or two domestic buildings, an outback house of considerable size, and his own little house in Geraldton which has been beautifully restored.
Rachael Kohn: And how is it that a priest was also an architect? That's quite an unusual combination.
Tony Evans: Yes, it is. He of course was an architect before he was a priest. He was trained as an architect at the end of the 19th century and he practiced in London, designed several buildings there, and on the south coast of England.
Rachael Kohn: When did he in fact become an Anglican priest?
Tony Evans: His conversion was during his training, but he became an Anglican priest I suppose after he'd started practicing as an architect, and he'd already built some of his houses in England at the time, and of course even when he was an Anglican priest, he continued with his architecture in England.
Rachael Kohn: Now he would then go over to Rome. How did that happen?
Tony Evans: Well it happened very, very gradually of course. He was influenced a great deal I think by the Oxford movement, High Anglicanism. And he was of course a great enthusiast for ritual and the old traditions, and the old religious orders, and he at first tried to set up the Franciscans and the Benedictines in England at the turn of the century.
Rachael Kohn: But he would actually go to Rome and meet an important bishop there that would then steer him in the direction of Australia.
Tony Evans: Yes. This all took root in the Bahamas. When he became an Anglican priest he was recruited to go to the Bahamas as a missionary, and there he started building and repairing churches in the Bahamas after a hurricane. But he gradually became aware that he would have to leave the Anglican church and as they used to say, 'go over to Rome'. And that actually happened in America. He left the Bahamas and went to some friends in America and became a Roman Catholic in America.
Rachael Kohn: So how did he in fact come to Western Australia and start his building of churches there?
Tony Evans: When he became a Catholic of course he went back to England, to his parents, and then he went to Rome to the Bader College, the seminary for mainly those who had left the Anglican church. And it was in Rome towards the end of his studies there that he met Bishop Kelly, who was the first Bishop of the Geraldton diocese who used to boast that it was the biggest diocese in the world.
Bishop Kelly must have talked him into coming to Australia, and you see, in Hawes' character, there was this great division. He was first and foremost an architect, and then he was a priest. So he never lost his love and pride in the profession of architecture, and when Bishop Kelly said he wanted a cathedral built in Geraldton, this was a great temptation to Hawes.
Rachael Kohn: And was that St Francis Xavier Cathedral?
Tony Evans: That was, in Geraldton, yes.
Rachael Kohn: And what sort of style is it build in, for those of us who haven't seen it?
Tony Evans: Well it's a very individual style. Hawes was an eclectic. He borrowed ideas which he thought were suitable to the climate and the environment in Western Australia. So Geraldton Cathedral owes some of its appearance to various styles, but it has to be said that dear old Hawes put his own signature on those styles. He didn't merely copy, he said that it wasn't sufficient to copy. So when you see Geraldton Cathedral for the first time, you think of the missionary architecture of the West Coast of America, the Spanish Mission style, and indeed it sort of grows out of the soil with its beautiful coloured stone. And also of course there's a touch of Florence about it, the beautiful dome of the Cathedral in Florence.
Rachael Kohn: Now why did Bishop Ryan stop the work?
Tony Evans: Ah, well, that's a very sad story. Bishop Ryan was the second Bishop who came to Western Australia when Bishop Kelly died. Kelly of course was a great supporter and friend of Hawes, but Bishop Ryan was a very effete and difficult man; he was an Irishman who wanted gothic, the traditional style, and of course Geraldton Cathedral, it was certainly nowhere near finished, but quite obviously there was a great conflict between the two. Hawes the Englishman, very proper, very well-educated, and Ryan the Irish Bishop who probably didn't understand Hawes, and had his own ideas.
Rachael Kohn: Did Hawes get a chance to finish it?
Tony Evans: Well, yes and no. The story goes that Ryan sort of walked out of the diocese, got fed up with it. But then the new bishop came, who was an Australian, and he was a wonderful man. He was a plumber before he became a bishop, before he became a priest. And when he first met Hawes, he said to him, 'Well with my plumbing and your architecture, we'll put churches all over the diocese.'
Rachael Kohn: Sounds like they did.
Tony Evans: Yes, indeed they did.
Rachael Kohn: Well one of the churches that really intrigues me is the church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Isn't his fox terrier featured in it somewhere?
Tony Evans: Yes. You see because Hawes was influenced a great deal by the Arts and Crafts movement which respected and enjoyed the manual arts, Hawes was trained not only in architecture but in painting and in sculpture, that group of architects believed very much that the architect should be able to construct everything within that church. And Hawes of course, leaves his signature on so much sculpture within the churches that he built. And he'd often put his little dog, Dominie at some little out-of-the-way area of the church. And yes, I mean the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Mullewa is a jewel really, a most beautiful jewel, which grows out of the soil, a most unusual and intriguing building, but it's very beautiful.
Rachael Kohn: I can't help thinking that naming his dog Dominie was a bit of a joke, a bit of a word play on God backwards.
Tony Evans: Yes I imagine it would be, yes.
Rachael Kohn: Now most architects have a particular style which they stamp on everything they do, but Hawes, as you've already mentioned, was something of a free spirit, so does that mean each church had a different motif or a different look?
Tony Evans: Yes I think that would be true to say that. He put his own character into his churches, so that when you study them and you get to know them, you can see quite distinctively that they're Hawes churches. And I'll tell you a story about that. Just across the road from one of his churches is an Anglican church.
Now Hawes, coming from the Anglican tradition, he was very ecumenical in a way, before the word was even used and before it all became ecumenical. And he was a great friend of the Anglican pastor there. And you can look at the little Anglican church and you think, 'That's a Hawes church, surely?' and indeed the plans show that he had a hand in the design of the Anglican church just outside Geraldton. So there is a Hawes character to everything, that chunky, home-made style which uses the local stone and whatever is available there at the time.
Rachael Kohn: Now I understand there is the chapel at the mortuary at, is it Utakarra Cemetery?
Tony Evans: Utakarra Cemetery, which is just east of Geraldton on the way to the airport. And yes, there's a lovely little chapel there.
Rachael Kohn: And I believe it has a tomb that's prepared for him, but remains empty?
Tony Evans: Yes. He seems to have prepared tombs for himself wherever he stayed. Years and years ago, when I was making a film on Hawes, we discovered underneath a dusty old mat the beautiful brass plate which has been engraved with a picture of him, and he'd got this imported from England, and I made a brass rubbing of that plate and I boasted that it was the only brass rubbing in Australia. I'm not sure whether that's true. But yes, he'd prepared a tomb for himself, but of course he was never buried there.
Rachael Kohn: What happened to him in fact?
Tony Evans: Well as you say, he was a free spirit, and he hankered after the life of a monk and he wanted to become a hermit. He always had this yearning to become a hermit. And so he left Western Australia in 1938 at the end of 1938, dangerous time just prior to the Second World War, he said he was going on holiday, he got permission to go on holiday, back to England, but of course he didn't come back, and he sailed for the Bahamas to Cat Island, which is one of the smaller islands of the Bahamas group, and he built himself a little house there, a little hermitage, which is still there and is still very well preserved. Of course he's buried there on Cat Island.
Rachael Kohn: Which of course he prepared for himself, did he not?
Tony Evans: Yes he did. It was a cave, a little cave, and he left instructions exactly how he was to be buried.
Rachael Kohn: And that was in his 80s I guess.
Tony Evans: Yes, 1953 I think.
Rachael Kohn: Tony Evans, the work of Monsignor John Cyril Hawes has gained renewed attention in recent years; you must feel rather vindicated that your book and the ABC programs which you've produced on him have helped to keep the memory of this historical treasure alive in Australia.
Tony Evans: Well yes, I shouldn't boast about it really but that one I think I am proud of, because when we made the film it was at a time when there was a bit of money floating around the ABC and I was invited to make the film really, and the film, Stone's Crow, made quite an impression on people. It was the first colour film that we made in Western Australia and it was extraordinarily popular. Of course at that time, you've got to remember in the 1970s people weren't so conscious of the heritage of Western Australia, and it was at a time when people were beginning to believe that there were wonderful things here that were worth preserving, and of course when I showed all these churches and showed without apologising for the terrible state that many of them were in, it sort of pricked the national conscience or at least consciences in Western Australia, and it did start an interest in Hawes.
Rachael Kohn: Tony Evans' biography of Father John Cyril Hawes is called The Conscious Stone. For a study of his architecture see the book by John Taylor, Between Devotion and Design; the architecture of John Cyril Hawes.

Any help or tips greatly appreciated, before I burn the bloody thing..!
528 with OBC 2, '98. High end computer in the dash
All functions except mpg, average speed and tank range don't work. This means the date, time, arrival time, and stop watch are kaput. Won't let me set these functions with any amount of twiddling, stalk prodding or anything.
Have tried disconnecting the battery, nothing.
Have put another radio unit in as apparently the computer gets its signal from that. Nothing, the clock on the radio dosen't work. This seems to be the problem but where does the radio get its 'feed' from? All the fuses are good and have swopped them about. Guess what? Nothing.
If anyone can help I will be your mate forever. If not then look out for the plume of smoke over Hertfordshire. Grrrr..!!

Ken Stockmann below previews the matchups in Wednesday's DIII quarterfinal round. Follow him on Twitter @Longstick33 for more DIII insight and reactions from the games.
RIT beat Ithaca, 20-8, to advance to the quarterfinals. (Inside Lacrosse Photo: Mike Dziak)
Union will travel to RIT for the third time this season, this time for a NCAA quarterfinal game with a chance to advance to the Final Four on the line. The first meeting was a regular-season Liberty League game that RIT won 8-7, and the second meeting was in the Liberty League Championship game that RIT won 13-11. Union was the only team this season to hold RIT's offense to single digits. This will be the second game of the tournament that features two teams facing each other for the third time. Salisbury and York played for the third time this season last Saturday, and the Sea Gulls swept the Spartans with a 12-6 win and advanced to the quarterfinals.
RIT advanced to the quarterfinals with a 20-8 win over Ithaca College. Leading the way for the Tigers in the win was Casey Jackson (4G, 1A) and Ryan Lee (3, 2) with five points apiece. They're one of just two unbeaten teams in Division III with a 19-0 record. Coach Jake Coon's team is third in the country in offense and is averaging 17.1 goals a game. Taylor Wisman is the leading goal scorer for the Tigers in the first two meetings with the Dutchman this season with four goals. Pat Johnston has played every minute of both games in net and has 26 total saves in the games; in the most recent game he had 15 saves. Two of their three lowest point totals this season were against Union, so the Dutchmen have a knack for keeping RIT's scoring chances to a minimum. The Tiger offense features four players that have more than 50 points on the season: Ryan Lee (45, 28), Casey Jackson (51, 16), Alliser Warren (27, 31), and Kyle Aquin (39, 18).
Union has a record of 15-3 and advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating Amherst 17-11 in its second-round matchup. Rob Santangelo (4, 2) was the leading scorer for the Dutchmen in the win over Amherst. Stefan Basile had a big game in goal with 15 saves to get by the Jeffs. Basile is sixth in the nation with a .648 save percentage and headlines Union's 12th-ranked defense that only allows 6.5 goals per game. Rob Santengelo (25, 23) is the top offensive threat for coach Paul Wehrum's team and he has a combined 3 goals and 2 assists in the two games against the Tigers this season.
Will the third time be the charm for Union or will RIT complete the season sweep and send the Dutchman home?
Cortland will head to Tufts for their first meeting since a 2012 Final Four game that the Red Dragons won 12-10. These teams have met four times in the postseason with the home team winning each time. Tufts enter the game with an 18-2 record and on an 11-game win streak. Cortland is 17-3 this season and is on a 12-game win streak. Tufts is the top scoring offense in the country with 18.8 goals per game. Cortland has the 23rd-ranked defense and is only allowing 7 goals per game. The Red Dragons have only given up more than 10 goals once this season, and Tufts has only scored less than 10 goals twice this season. On paper this game is setting up as a classic offense vs. defense battle.
Tufts advanced to the quarterfinals by beating Endicott 10-9 in the second round. The Jumbos offense features four of the highest scoring players in the country. John Uppren (56, 55) is fifth in the country in points per game with 5.6. Chris Shoenhut (79, 6) is second in the country with 4 goals per game. Cole Bailey (44, 57) is 11th in the country in assists per game with 2.7. Beau Wood (60, 27) is 26th in goals per game with 3 and 29th in points per game with 4.4. Coach Mike Daly's defense does allow 10.15 goals per game but that number is a bit misleading because a bulk of those goals was scored when the game is out of reach when Tufts is resting their starters.
Cortland moved into the quarterfinals by beating Springfield 14-10 in its second-round game. Joe Slavic was the top scorer for the Red Dragons in that game with three goals and four assists. Redshirt junior goalie Scott Tota has been the anchor of the defense this season and is allowing just 6.69 goals per game and is saving the ball at .599%. Stephen Burke, JT Foltz, Mike Warner, Pat Brown, and Luke McNaney make up the core of the defense that has been giving opposing offenses fits all season. On offense Joe Slavik (15, 12) is the top midfielder and is paired with Matt Rakoczy (23, 18) as two thirds of the top midfield line. Attackman Zach Hopps (39, 24) is the leading scored for Coach Beville's team.
Both of these teams are loaded with big time players and the team that gets the most out of those players will most likely be moving on to the final 4.
Denison is one of just two unbeaten teams left in Division III and enters the game against the South's No. 1 seed with a 19-0 record. Salisbury has a 19-1 record and hasn't lost since early April and is on a 10-game win streak. Denison is the top defense in the nation and is only allowing just 5.3 goals per game. Salisbury is not too far behind with the 7th best and allowing just one goal more per game with a 6.3 goals per game average. With those two defenses scoring could be at a premium in this quarterfinal matchup. It's the first time these two teams have faced each other since 2008 in a game that Salisbury won 6-3.
Salisbury advanced to the quarterfinals with a 12-6 win over York, which was the third time they defeated the Spartans this season. Luke Phipps (2, 2) and Rhett DePol (2, 2) were the leading scorers with four points each. Depol (31, 35), Phipps (35, 26), and Mike Kane (44, 4) make up the Sea Gulls' attack. Coach Jim Berkman's team also features some high scoring midfielders in Donovan Lange (31, 15), Thomas Cirillo (26, 8), and Sean Fitzgerald (21, 14). Long stick middie Zeke Smith is second only to FOGO Chris Biank in groundballs this season with 66. and he is a real threat in transition. He also leads the team in caused turnovers with 29. Smith helps create momentum for the Sea Gulls whether it's in transition or with a big take away on the defensive end. His play will play a big role in his team's success Wednesday evening.
Denison played its closest game of the season since a three-goal win over Dickinson on March 22, when they defeated Aurora 11-8 in their quarterfinal game. Luke Walsh (4, 2) and Eddie Vita (0, 5) were the top scorers for the Big Red in the game. Vita (36, 37) and Walsh (50, 20) have been doing the bulk of the scoring for the Coach Mike Caravana's team all season and helped them to be the 4th highest scoring team in the nation with 16.6 goals per game. Eric Baumgardner (.671%) will play a big role in the game and is one of the top FOGO's in the country. Baumgardner will be needed to limit the Seagulls possessions and keep the ball in his high scoring offenses sticks. Clark Bullington has come on as the starter in goal the last five games and has only allowed 18 goals in those five starts.
Will Denison be handed its first loss or will Salisbury be denied a chance to advance to the championship game for the second year in a row?
Stevenson enters the game with a 19-2 record with its only losses coming to the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the county. Washington has a record of 17-1 and has advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2008. These two teams haven't played each other since 2007, a game Washington won 10-5.
Stevenson is coming off of a dominating 15-9 win over Cabrini in its second-round game. Chris Dashiell (1, 5) and Stephen Banick (3, 1) were the stars on offense for the Mustangs in the game. The player of the for them was Callum Robinson, who held the second leading scorer in the nation Corey Elmer to just one assist. Stevenson is allowing just 7 goals per game and it is due to the fact that they have one of the most complete defenses in the country. They have enormous defenseman in Robinson and Kyle Holechek, who are 6-foot-3 and 6-5, respectively. They have a great long stick midfielder in Ryan Rubenstein and two great short-stick d-middies in Connor Curro and Dylan Muti. Top that off with a goalie who was an All-American last season as a freshman and is having another great season with Dimitri Pecunes, who is saving the ball at .544% and coach Paul Cantabene's team is tough to score against. On offense they are a deep team that gets scoring from many different players. Four players have over 50 points on the season with Banick (39, 32) leading the way for the Mustangs. Brett Hiken has been one of the top FOGOs in the country this season and is winning at .716%.
Washington College played in a much closer second -ound game and advanced by defeating Lynchburg 10-7. Midfielders Kodie Engelhart (2, 1) and Hunter Nowicki (1, 2) were the top point getters for the Shoremen with three points apiece. Coach Jeff Shirk's team is averaging 13.2 goals per game ,which is 24th best in Division III. They run an offense that is very midfield-orientated, and midfielders Nowicki (32, 36) and Sid Looney (25, 11) are two of their top scorers. Jim Cusick (41, 9) is the top scoring threat from the attack and is especially dangerous on the EMO with 12 goals this year. Ted Disalvo has been consistent in goal and is saving the ball .620%. Michael Trapp returned from injury in their second round win and went 14 of 19 on face-offs. If he is back to full strength he will play a big role for the Shormen.
The matchup to watch this game will be at the face-off X with two of Division III's best going head to head. Whoever has the better day between Stevenson's Hiken and Washington's Trapp will give their team a decisive advantage.

My mother, Angela Puttock, has died of cancer aged 66. She started out teaching in junior schools in London and moved to Watford when she married my father, Bob, in 1970. They were so desperate to keep teachers in the growing town that I went to school in the pram with her in 1974 and was looked after by the headteacher's secretary.
After having my brother, Edwin, Mum decided to undertake a part-time and very wide-ranging biology degree at Luton College (now the University of Bedfordshire), graduating in 1991. She had in effect retrained as a secondary school science teacher and worked full-time from 1990 onwards: running environmental clubs, building ponds and encouraging a love of science and the natural world both in and out of the classroom.
She was born Angela Susan Cleghorn into a south London family of Guardian readers who were very active in Labour party politics and had roots in industrial south Wales. Her sense of social justice and environmentalism never left her.
She was educated at Froebel College (now the University of Roehampton) as an infant school teacher (1966-69) and kept in touch with her classmates for the rest of her life. After her retirement in 2006, both of my parents were able to spend some time travelling and at last indulging in some of their passions: birdwatching and training to scuba dive. My daughter will learn how to scuba dive this summer, as Mum wanted her to understand the importance of marine conservation.
An active member of the Bedfordshire Natural History Society, the British Trust for Ornithology and the Bedfordshire Bat Group, Mum was involved in various campaigns to keep the Chiltern Hills alive, thriving and protected. She had recently helped to put up bat boxes in her local spinney and designed a new nature board for her village green, and was actively engaged in research for a book on orchids.
She is survived by Bob; me and Edwin; her sister, Barbara; and four grandchildren.

Blush or bashful? Ask another bridezilla because a busy Katie Couric had no time to argue over a particular shade of pink. Between wrapping up her daytime talk show, starting a new gig as the global anchor of Yahoo News and releasing a new documentary, the veteran TV journalist left most of the planning of her June 21 wedding to fiance John Molner.
"I call John 'Groomzilla!'," Couric told People magazine. She even let Molner okay her wedding dress, an ivory Carmen Marc Valvo lace halter gown.
On Saturday, Couric wed Molner, an investment banker, in the back yard of her East Hampton home. The ceremony was an intimate family affair (only 50 guests) with readings from Molner's children, Allie and Henry, and Couric's daughters, Ellie and Carrie. Carrie, who recently graduated high school, even sang the couple a song.
"This is not my first rodeo," explained Couric, 57, whose first husband, Jay Monahan, died of colon cancer, "so I didn't want to go too crazy and neither did John."
So excited to make my debut as Mrs. John Molner! pic.twitter.com/UjvmtT2ki0

Pet of the Week: Ruby is a gifted singer
Ruby is a Labradoodle and lives with Jamal, Sarah and Isley Whitehead. Ruby is four years old and was born on the couple's wedding day. "We put an order in and she was born that day," Sarah explained. She came from Springcreek Labradoodles in Oregon. The breeder picked Ruby out for them and met them half way there. "We just said what kind of dog we wanted, what kind of personality we wanted and they said, 'This is the dog for you,' and she's a perfect fit."
Ruby is a slightly unusual color. Her coat is a bit "reddish" said Jamal and a little "Apricot," offered Sarah.
One of the advantages of the breed is that they don't shed. Still, she does require some maintenance and, "she goes to the beauty parlor regularly," said Sarah.
Sarah said that Ruby talks a lot and she "sings to Isley's harmonica or to any piano music. She really enjoys it."
A dry food diet for Ruby is occasionally supplemented by "child snacks that get dropped on the floor. She's a scavenger."
Jamal told a story in which he noted that they've had, "a couple of 'Lassie' moments with her," in which she alerted them to potential danger.
"My parents have a lot of steps in their house and I remember on one occasion we were all in the kitchen talking and Isley was really small, maybe a year old or so and she was toddling around and she was near the steps and Ruby started barking and said, 'What is Ruby barking about? There must be somebody here' so I get up and Isley had climbed halfway up the steps! So, Ruby was watching out for Isley"
Ruby likes Salmon treats and peanut butter and now will sit and stay.
Isley has taught her another trick though... She will blow gently on Ruby's back, and Ruby will turn quickly and give her a kiss. What a sweet dog.

The Saudi Interior Ministry on Saturday said 47 people convicted of plotting and carrying out terrorist attacks, targeting civilians and security forces, were executed.
The Ministry statement, published on the official SPA news agency, said the 47 had been convicted of adopting the radical "takfiri" ideology, joining "terrorist organizations" and implementing various "criminal plots."

They were convicted of plotting and carrying out terrorist attacks targeting civilians and security forces in Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries.
The Al Arabiya News Channel broadcast of the Saudi Interior Ministry statement.
Saudi Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz Al al-Sheikh appeared on television soon after to describe the executions as just.

Governor Deval Patrick in Springfield this week announced a $200 million investment in Phase 1 of the I-91 Springfield Viaduct project and additional funding to create a permanent home for Camp STAR Angelina at Forest Park. These investments in Greater Springfield will help unlock potential for additional economic and community development opportunities in the region.
"Growth requires investment, and moving forward on the I-91 viaduct project and upgrading our urban parks will create growth and opportunity in Springfield and beyond," said Governor Patrick. "If we want to expand opportunity in our Commonwealth, this is what government must do and do well."
Once completed, the I-91 Springfield viaduct deck replacement project will increase safety and accessibility on the busy interstate. The bridge decks are currently in poor condition and in need of replacement. The elevated viaduct carries I-91 through Springfield with the I-291 Interchange to the north and State Street to the south. I-91 has an Average Daily Traffic volume of approximately 75,000 vehicles per day and 90,000 vehicles on the I-91/291 Interchange. The viaduct is the primary North-South route between Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont, leading to extensive vacation traffic during the weekends in the summer and winter. Construction is slated to begin in November 2014 and the preliminary cost estimate for the project is $200 million.
MassDOT previously announced Phase 2 of the project, which allows MassDOT's Office of Transportation Planning to begin a planning study that will identify existing issues and evaluate alternative alignments of I-91, including at-grade and below-grade alternatives, which may be less disruptive to the urban environment and could provide a regional highway connection that is more environmentally and financially sustainable in the long-term than the existing configuration. The I-91 viaduct currently is currently a barrier between downtown Springfield and the Connecticut River Riverwalk. The study's developed alternatives will identify ways to strengthen both the multi-modal accommodations within Springfield and the connections between downtown Springfield and the waterfront.
MassDOT Highway Division Administrator Frank DePaola joined local officials and Howe family members in celebrating the opening of the new Richard P. Howe Bridge on University Avenue in Lowell. The $32.5 million project replaced the bridge over the Merrimack River and Northern Canal. The new bridge is named in honor of Howe, who served for 40 years on the Lowell City Council including four terms as Mayor.
Pedestrian access to the new bridge will be limited to the westerly sidewalk while demolition at the northeast corner of the old bridge are complete and new wing wall and approach to the new bridge are completed. This work is expected to be completed in late spring 2014.
Remaining work includes demolition of the existing bridge superstructure and center pier and the north and south abutments, along with final paving at the northeast corner of University Avenue and VFW Highway and construction of the proposed outlook wall at the southwest quadrant of the old bridge.
MassDOT encourages drivers to reduce speed and use caution while traveling through the area of the new bridge.
The MBTA Government Center Station Rehabilitation Project moves forward with work that began this week to reconfigure area roads and sidewalks.
As a reminder, the station will remain OPEN through the completion of the closure of the Callahan Tunnel in March 2014. Government Center Station is scheduled to close for approximately two years for construction in spring 2014. Construction is scheduled for completion in fall 2016.
MBTA contractors will begin work on Cambridge Street, including removal of the median island from Sudbury Street. Work this week may also include modifying the triangular island at Court and Cambridge Streets and putting in the new temporary sidewalk along the City Hall side of Cambridge Street.
All street crossing locations will remain unchanged. Cambridge Street travel lanes will be maintained; however, the roadway alignment on the City Hall Plaza side may be shifted for new sidewalks and work zone area. Temporary and permanent parking restrictions will be put in place on the City Hall side of Cambridge Street.
The Government Center Station Rehabilitation Project will include new elevators from the surface to the Green Line level and from the Green Line level to the Blue Line level, renovations to both the Green Line and Blue Line platforms, a new station entrance and lobbies, a new emergency exit-only structure on Cambridge Street between Court and Sudbury Streets, improved circulation between the Green Line and Blue Line platforms, and reconstruction of Cambridge Street and a portion of City Hall plaza in the vicinity of the station to provide accessible paths of travel to the station.
For more information about the overall project please visit the Government Center Station Project website.
