Highway Improvements, Sea Street Roundabout
March 23rd, 2014
When we plan to carry out the work and how long it will take
As part of the Member Highway Funding initiative, your local Members Mr Brian Macdowell & Mr Nicholas Bond have committed two years funding in conjunction with a contribution from Kent County Council to deliver a carriageway reconstruction scheme on Sea Street, Herne Bay including Sea Street roundabout. This is part of the on-going works to improve the highway network in Kent.
Works are due to commence on the 6th May 2013 and will take up to 8 weeks. The works will generally be undertaken between the hours of 07:00 and 20:30, but may be necessary to extend this beyond 20:30 if required to complete an area of work.
What we plan to do
The works are required to reconstruct the damaged and deteriorated concrete carriageway. Investigations have been undertaken to determine the condition of the existing carriageway. It has identified the lower layers of the road need replacing. The works will involve excavating the existing concrete carriageway and reconstructing new layers and road surface.
Due to the nature and complexity of the works, it will be necessary for some adjoining roads to be closed with traffic through Sea Street being managed by two way Traffic Lights. Access to properties will generally be maintained throughout the duration; however it may be necessary to restrict vehicular access to individual properties for short periods.
Signed diversion routes will be in place for the closure of all the side roads in the area of works.
We are here to help you, if you have any particular access needs, please let us know.
Public Engagement
There will be a public engagement nearer the commencement date to explain the benefits of the scheme and how it affects the local community. We will re-contact you shortly with further details.
Further Information
If you need more information, please call us on 0300 333 5539.
You can also visit our website www.kent.gov.uk/highways to find out how we look after the roads throughout Kent or report any faults you find on our roads.
For your safety and the safety of our workforce, please drive carefully and slowly through the roadworks.

The 40th Anniversary of Wimereux / Schmallenberg Twinning
May 18th, 2013
The 40th Anniversary of Wimereux / Schmallenberg Twinning After a trouble free, calm crossing seven Committee members from the Herne Bay/ Wimereux Twinning Association arrived in sunny Wimereux in Northern France for the 40th Anniversary celebrations of the Wimereux / Schmallenberg Twinning. They were met by Eric Etienne from the Wimereux committee, who had reserved parking spaces for them near the Mairie (Town Hall). Two of the party stayed with a family in a house overlooking the Channel. The house had been occupied by the Germans in the Second World War and used as a meteorological centre collecting information from the U boats in the Atlantic. Rommel had stayed at the house. The rest of the party stayed in a holiday let in a traditional style old French house overlooking the town of Wimereux. In the evening the party assembled for the start of the procession through the streets of Wimereux. They met the forty German visitors who had travelled from Schmallenberg and the people from Wimereux and processed behind the Wimereux town band to the Memorial where wreaths were laid in remembrance of those who died in the two World Wars. The procession continued to Salon de la Baie Saint Jean where the mayors from Wimereux and Schmallenberg renewed the Twinning Charter between the two towns. Prior to a celebratory meal there were speeches and presentations of gifts between the three towns. Entertainment was provided by local dancing groups and the Town band from Wimereux. A specially made cake was brought in decorated with the Coats of Arms of Schmallenberg and Wimereux and set alight with fireworks. On Saturday morning we participated in a European Market held in the town square, with stalls of local produce and displays about 40 years of twinning activities involving Wimereux with both Schmallenberg and Herne Bay. John Moore from the sweet shop Sweet Magic in Herne Bay had a stall with an impressive display of traditional British Seaside sweets. The Herne Bay Twinning Associations stall had a variety of items both free and for sale, promoting the town and the Pier Trust. On Saturday evening, all the participants travelled by coaches to the nearbye Estaminet Palace, where they enjoyed a dinner and cabaret. They were treated to scantily dressed Folies Bergère dancers, the Can Can, singing and an appearance of Edith Piaf. The evening finished with everyone singing and dancing. Brian Heselden, treasurer of the Herne Bay/ Wimereux Association said, I was interested that although Wimereux is over 500 kms from Schmallenberg, the two towns have obviously forged a very close friendship over these 40 years.

Vattenfall receive permission to expand
February 21st, 2013
Vattenfalls Kentish Flats Extension has received a development consent order from the Energy Secretary today. The consent means that Vattenfall can step up its engagement with the local and UK supply chains as it develops a forward programme for installation and operation.
The up to 17 turbine extension (KFE) will deliver up to 51MW of installed capacity and extends the currently operating 30 turbine, 90MW Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm. Depending on the number of turbines deployed it could cost more than £150 million to install the extension.
An additional 51MW will generate enough renewable electricity to meet the equivalent demand of 35,000 UK households (combined with the currently operating scheme this would be 96,000 in total). KFE is expected to start generating renewable power in late 2015 or early 2016.
Goran Loman, Vattenfalls Project Manager for KFE, said: We welcome the Secretary of States timely decision. Kentish Flats Extension will make a major contribution to generation from Vattenfalls large fleet of offshore wind capacity in UK waters and help the delivery of UK climate change and renewable energy obligations.
Last month Vattenfall said that it was working with the local airport, Manston International, to address challenges posed by the wind farm to radar operations at the airport. Therefore to enable a successful outcome, Vattenfall has revised its programme, and assuming a successful Final Investment Decision by Vattenfall, construction of the wind farm extension will commence in 2015

HUNDREDS WELCOME PLANS FOR ALTIRA PARK A large majority of local people who have commented on plans for a £40 million retail and commercial development at Altira Park in Herne Bay have expressed support for the proposals. The plans, which would create hundreds of new jobs for Herne Bay, comprise a new Sainsburys supermarket, new business starter units and investment in local infrastructure. The plans were displayed at public exhibitions earlier this month, which attracted nearly 600 visitors, and also on a project website. 682 comments forms had been completed and returned by Friday 19 October, either at the exhibitions, through the post or online. Of those responses: 84% expressed support for the proposals. 11% indicated opposition. The remainder were undecided or did not express a view. Nigel Wakefield, development director at Terrace Hill said: We are obviously delighted with the response that we have received and would like to thank the people of Herne Bay for the interest that they have shown in our plans. We are now working through the comments that have been made before submitting a planning application to Canterbury City Council. We are fully committed to delivering our plans which represent a real opportunity for increased supermarket shopping choice and local job creation and which could act as a catalyst for further investment in Altira Park and Herne Bay town centre.

Major Investment in store for Herne Bay
October 3rd, 2012
MAJOR INVESTMENT IN STORE FOR HERNE BAY A £40 million pound investment is proposed for Herne Bay through plans being brought forward by Terrace Hill. The proposals for a retail and commercial development at Altira Park will provide a massive economic boost to the local area by providing hundreds of much needed jobs in Herne Bay. The proposals comprise: o A new, modern Sainsburys food store with a sales area of 60,000 square feet. o 20,000 square feet of business starter units for local enterprises, which would meet a local need and be built ahead of the opening of the food store. o A further 10,000 square feet of business units which would be built out in response to demand. o Investment in local infrastructure, including the long awaited upgrading of Blacksole Bridge and town centre initiatives. Planning permission was granted nearly ten years ago for a variety of uses at Altira Park but the site has not been developed as originally hoped. Terrace Hill has a successful track record in foodstore and commercial development and Sainsburys inclusion in the plans will help fund the infrastructure required to unlock development across the rest of the park. The proposals would directly address rising unemployment levels in the local area and it is expected that a total of 300 full and part time jobs would be provided by the new Sainsburys. 50 to 60 further jobs would also be created through the new commercial development and 225 jobs provided through the construction phase. Jobs at the new Sainsburys would be supported by a comprehensive training and development programme which enables colleagues to gain nationally recognised qualifications in core subjects such as English and Maths or key skill areas. Sainsburys also works with MENCAP, Job Centre Plus and the Learning and Skills Council to create opportunities in the work place for those facing barriers to employment. cont The provision of a full range food store in Herne Bay will provide much needed choice for local people. The majority of local residents currently travel out of Herne Bay to undertake their main food shopping at stores in Canterbury and Whitstable. Providing local choice is better for local people, local businesses and the environment. Nigel Wakefield, development director at Terrace Hill said: The proposals represent a major commitment to local jobs and investment. This area has some of the highest levels of unemployment in the District and the scheme would make a real difference to local people and the local economy. Herne Bay has suffered from a lack of investment and this scheme could act as a catalyst to further development at Altira Park and in the town centre. We are keen to work with the local community and the Council to ensure that we maximise the regeneration potential for the town. Terrace Hill is now consulting widely on the proposals. To see the plans and comment, please visit www.terracehill-hernebay.co.uk. An exhibition of the plans is being held at the Herne Bay Table Table restaurant (opposite the Premier Inn) on Friday 12 October from 12pm to 4pm and Saturday 13 October from 10am to 2pm. Members of the development team will be on hand to discuss the proposals and answer any questions.

Herne Bay Ladies Back on the Road
May 29th, 2012
Yes, it's a new dawn, it's a new day .... and we are feelin' good! An excellent turnout today for our first ride as the Herne Bay Ladies Cycling Club. Our previous club disbanded almost a year ago and yet, within a couple of weeks of reforming, we are back up to almost 20 members again. It was so great to meet up with old friends and to welcome four new ladies: Tracy, Shari, Debbie and Gill. They must have liked us because they have all ordered new club tops! Speaking of which, thanks so much to everyone that has coughed up the £38.00 already. Quite expensive, I know, but hopefully much nicer quality than our last kit, which was a bit shoddy. The tops should be with us in three or four weeks. So exciting!

Soft travel
posted 6 years ago
I like this soft crate. It folds up for easy storage. And you can use it outside, inside or even in your car. It's much more comfortable for dogs to use than the metal or plastic crates.
Pros: more comfort
Cons: none

Stock Footage
I shot a wedding, the salon wants to buy some of the footage for a commercial. How do I price it?
I'm a grad student and I'm making a video project for my class on the peace process in Colombia. I am overwhelmed by the amount of footage available at places like footage.net, and I'm not really sure where to start. No one lists the prices, so I don't know what to expect when emailing all of these folks. Is there one news station that is cheaper than the other when getting the rights? I'm just putting this together for educational purposes, and I really feel like I should be able to grab anything and claim fair use. If I'm not going to be making money off it I don't see why these news

Shwedagon Paya
Visible from almost anywhere in Yangon, this is one of Buddhism's most sacred sites.
Visible from almost anywhere in Yangon, this is one of Buddhism's most sacred sites.
Botataung's spacious riverfront location and lack of crowds give it a more down-to-earth spiritual feeling than Shwedagon or Sule Paya.
This recently renovated park is notable for its splendid views of the west side of Shwedagon Paya.
Housed in a large metal-roofed shed, this beautiful 65m-long reclining Buddha is hardly publicised at all even though it's larger than a similar well-known image in Bago.
Situated next to the Nga Moe Yeik creek, this Disneyland-ish pagoda is a hoot. Large-than-life 3D stucco depictions of the Buddha's life and practice litter the compound.
Virtually across the street from Chaukhtatgyi Paya is a gorgeous 46ft-tall seated Buddha image at the Ngahtatgyi Paya. Sitting in calm gold and white repose with a healthy splash of precious stones to boot, it's one of the most impressive sitting buddhas in southern Myanmar. In fact, it's worth going to see for its carved wooden backdrop alone.
Even though the museum's collection is appallingly labelled and lit, the treasures that lie within this cavernous building deserve a viewing The highlight is the spectacular 26ft-high, jewel-encrusted Sihasana (Lion Throne), which belonged to King Thibaw Min, the last king of Myanmar.
It's not every city where the primary traffic circle is occupied by a 2000-year-old golden temple. This 46m zedi, said to be older than Shwedagon Paya, is an example of modern Asian business life melding with ancient Burmese tradition Just after the sun has gone down is the most atmospheric time to visit the temple.
Also known as Royal Lake, this artificial lake, built by the British as a reservoir, is most attractive at sunset, when the glittering Shwedagon is reflected in its calm waters.
Opened in 1901, and run by the famed Sarkies brothers (they also owned Raffles in Singapore and the Eastern and Oriental in Penang), this historic hotel in its early years hosted the likes of Rudyard Kipling, George Orwell and W.
A place of pilgrimage for Indians, Muslims and others interested in the history of the Raj, this functioning mosque houses the mausoleum of India's last Mughal emperor.
This recently revamped park offers pleasant strolling in the heart of the downtown area and views of surrounding heritage buildings including City Hall , the High Court and the old Rowe & Co department store The park's most notable feature is the Independence Monument , a 165ft white obelisk surrounded by two concentric circles of chinthe (half-lion, half-dragon deity).

If you can't say something nice...
Can we do something to curb our national need to criticize?
Immediately following my oil change, I got a phone call. It was an automated questionnaire asking about my oil change experience.
On a scale of one to nine, the slightly robotic, slightly seductive woman asked, how were you greeted when you entered the service room? Was the service prompt? Were satisfied with your service?
I hung up.
I don't understand why I should have to evaluate every single minute detail of my life. It makes me focus on things I would ordinarily blow off and leaves me mildly irritated. Of course the mechanic was abrupt when I entered. He's a mechanic. I don't go to him because he abounds in social charms. I go to him because he knows how to fix my car.
No, the service was not prompt. I was trying to fit the maintenance in on Friday at 4:30 before the holiday weekend.
Was I satisfied with the service? I didn't really watch him drain the old oil or put the new oil in, but my mechanic is an adult who has been changing oil for many years. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing. Can't we just let the poor guy just do his job?
I don't understand what's going on, but every time I turn around, I'm asked to fill out an evaluation on a service person, share my opinion on an item I bought, or review the book I just read. I know of a fifth-grade class where children were given Amazon accounts so that they could write reviews on the books they read (which explains a lot about some of the reviews on the site).
When did we become a country of critics? And who wants to live in a society where we pick each other apart all the time? If we don't watch out, our hyper-judgmental world will lead us to choke out our creativity, cultivate a fear of failure, and leave us spiritually parched.
I was always told, "If you can't say something nice about something, then don't say anything at all." Now it seems that our mantra has become: "If you can't say something nice about something, then post it on the Internet."
p.s.--If you want to read about handling on-line criticism, I wrote about it on Duke Divinity's Faith and Leadership blog.

not sure why all were having "sticky" problems as not an issue. BTW, appleasauce is used IN the brownie mix itself and the only things that go in the blender are the baked brownie crumbles and the bourbon. check recipe
Brownie Bourbon Balls
maryjeank Posted: 10/29/09
Colorado Cook Posted: 02/16/10
This turned out like undercooked brownie goo. The only redeeming factor was that it had chocolate in it.
peconomos Posted: 01/01/11
applesauce is baked IN the brownie mix (in place of oil), not added after. There is no stickiness. I added coconut rum. Yum.
Robillm Posted: 07/16/10
These were very tasty. No goo, not too dry. The liqueur could be changed--what goes good with chocolate? Hmmm-khalua, various schnapps, amaretto,etc. Also, this is made with a mix-you don't have to follow these directions, just make up the mix. Brownies baked-crumbled & whirled with liqueur of choice.
Linz10 Posted: 11/12/10
I don't know what happened, but it was a sticky gooey mess. What a pain.
HEIDI5522 Posted: 12/15/10
I was going to make these, for Christmas Goodie bags. I make about 30, for the people at my husband's work. Not a good idea! I just made regular Brownie mix, package directions, and added 3 tablespoons of Peppermint Scnapps, in place of the Bourbon.After the food processing, I put the mix in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, to harden up, and then rolled, small walnut sized balls in Confectioners' sugar. I got 42.....These are way too time consuming. Of course, if you have kids...GREAT recipe....fun , fun, fun for them to do!
vickitedder Posted: 05/13/12
I made these with khalua. I didn't have an problems with stickiness. They were delicious and a big hit with the family at Christmas.
peggybrow Posted: 12/31/12
I'd rather make the Oreo cookie balls covered in chocolate...
Maria54911 Posted: 12/03/12
I'd like to know what brand of mix those of you who had success with this recipe used. (And did it contain a syrup packet?) I went to two stores looking for a DH mix, and ended up with a BC 18oz box with fudge packet. It was very sticky - too sticky. (And yes, I'm following the directions and putting the applesauce in before it's baked.)
No Longer Registered Posted: 12/31/13
Thank you for sharing your experiences. After reading about the "sticky mess", I thought it would be best to let the brownies completely cool before I mixed the bourbon in to make the ball. The recipe worked out perfectly, and the brownies were quite tasty.
RaeByrd1982 Posted: 09/22/13
It came out a horrible sticky mess. Would not cook again

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is very unorganized. The 5th through 7th grade students run that school. The principal do not believe in suspending her babies. The kids fight disrespect staff and students. The school is a mess. If your child go to Edward T. Steel get them out ASAP. This is coming from a parent and an employee of this school
Both of my sons went to this school for one year. My husband and I sent them here just because it was closer to our home. That was a hugh mistake. Both of my boys hated it. Their curriculm is below average. My oldest son is extremly smart but because the teaching he was receiving wasn't good he became somewhat lazy so that he wouldn't be ahead of the other students but he still was ahead. Both of their grades slipped looking back at their 2004 report cards from their previous school. I didn't feel like my children were safe and I also didn't feel as though they were getting the needed education. This school almost made me give up on Philadelphia's public schools all together. They will not be attending this school for 2005-06 year and I thank my God for this. This was a punishment for them and us.

What We Do
From rising electric rates and unpredictable gas prices, to new energy standards and building codes, the only thing constant about energy is change. TEEMWorks is here to help you thrive and transform through this change.
By effectively complimenting your team, our TEEM is consistently able to unlock profit and value in your real estate and operational assets. We are often told one of the things that separates us and brings tremendous value, is the broad experience we bring to the table. In addition to energy engineering, we bring building operations, finance, legal, and construction experience to the planning, analysis, and execution phases of energy efficiency.
Through Energy Star Benchmarking/Certification/AB1103 compliance, ASHRAE level I-III audits, Title 24 energy compliance modeling, retro-commissioning, energy efficiency project services, project M&V, and energy management, TEEMWorks will help you achieve your company goals.
Lighting retrofits often result in energy cost savings of 30-70%. Potential savings are in addition to other benefits such as increased productivity, higher rents, and employee or tenant satisfaction. Changes in technology over the last five to ten years have created unprecedented opportunities for companies to lower energy expenses through lighting retrofits.
HVAC – Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning retrofits and controls often results in improved comfort, improved control, and savings of 15-30%. Many HVAC systems installed in the US waste significant amounts of cooling and heat. We offer quick and proven solutions that result in significant reductions in energy costs.
Solar is being adopted as an energy source by more and more business customers each year. While a form of on site renewable energy generation as opposed to energy efficiency, solar is another way customers are able to take control of their energy costs. Additionally, society benefits from cleaner generation, reduced grid demand, and overall efficiency. As the cost continues to come down, more building owners realize that solar is a great investment, so for customers with a great roof, and less efficient load profile, savings will be attained.
