Great Sol !
Thanks a lot.

  Subject: Cadrans Solaires et Vins: Sundilas and Wine


  As I awoke, halfway through Saturnalia, I noticed this theme on the SML, the 
sun, sundials and wine. I will toast to that. Let me draw your attention to the 
terminator sundials developed by our friends, Joel, Fer and Mac. Sundials 
normally have a gnomon that casts a shadow. Pifft!. The sun and a wine bottle 
is all you need. The shadow at the edge of the bottle tells the time. Here the 
terminator rules.

  To design a sundial as a wine bottle label go to the NASS DeltaCAD macros 
here. http://www.sundials.org/deltacad/index.html . Look for the AZ nomograph  
or more specifically 
http://www.sundials.org/deltacad/zips/Az-nomograph-Plus-Bab-It.zip. Extract it 
and go with DeltaCAD, even the free demo.

  There macros are easy to hack to suit you purposes and give you wine bottle 
labels suitable for any location and occasion. I prefer option 7, the wine 
glass shape. a feminine profile. After all, this is Saturnalia, the festival 
following the celebration of the return of the unconquered sun, Sol Invictus.

  Until we celebrate again next year, best wishes,

  Sol Invictus
