1. Re: Oracle HTB - Healthcare Transaction Base100779 Dec 16, 2006 8:50 PM (in response to 546494)Hi Alan,
any luck finding about HTB installation?
I am planning to buy and install, so is there any place i can find more information?
I have a question about htb, do you know what are the other s/w i to develop an htb based ehr solution?
2. Re: Oracle HTB - Healthcare Transaction Base546494 Dec 17, 2006 4:35 PM (in response to 100779)Hey Jaf,
I will hopefully have an answer this week. But I am guessing it will more than likely be the new year before I am able to provide any suitable documentation. I will keep you informed.
When are you doing your install?
what system is it being installed on?, we are using linux.
3. Re: Oracle HTB - Healthcare Transaction BaseUser543318-Oracle Dec 17, 2006 9:24 PM (in response to 546494)The HTB product reference links can be found in Metalink note # 242025.1. The actual technical installation details for the latest release 11i.HC_PF.E can be found in Metalink note # 304442.1. Please be aware that Healthcare is not part of the pre-installed E-Biz distribution. You will need to license it and obtain access details for the Healthcare splice patches.
4. Re: Oracle HTB - Healthcare Transaction Base546494 Jan 31, 2007 9:53 AM (in response to 100779)Hi Jaf
I have some documentation available if you want to have a look. It is not brilliant by any means as it is a third party who carried out the install.
5. Re: Oracle HTB - Healthcare Transaction Base561050 Feb 10, 2007 8:19 PM (in response to 546494)Hi alanm,
I did recently 2 installs. One was based upon 11.5.10 and another was based on 184.108.40.206. While installing we had some difficulties integrating with iAS.
Feel free to ask ...
6. Re: Oracle HTB - Healthcare Transaction Base546494 Feb 12, 2007 3:38 PM (in response to 561050)hi Gert
the install is 22.214.171.124 and the way in which the install is done is over multinode.
The DB is on one server and all APPS is on apps server. Do you have any documentation that you could perhaps send me. Looking at metalink it seems there are a number of patches that have to be installed, do they need performing in any particular order.
But basically some documentation for me to follow would be appreciated.
7. Re: Oracle HTB - Healthcare Transaction Base561050 Feb 12, 2007 6:57 PM (in response to 546494)Hi Alanm,
A colleague of me has delivered our documentation to Oracle. I suppose the documentation will be updated soon :)
I will send you my patch list if this can help you. I must tell you the patching isn't the hardest part of the installation. Be prepared for the integration of HTB and iAS. We did it 4 times before we had the right procedure ...
You can contact me g e r t . j a c o b s @ r u a n o v a . be
8. Re: Oracle HTB - Healthcare Transaction Base249399 Feb 13, 2007 2:01 AM (in response to 561050)Hi,
Don't you think it is better that we do an installation together for one environment?
In that case, we can provide some doc specific for your environment.
We have send a proposal to give an installation session on HTB in San Fransisco at Open World.
9. Re: Oracle HTB - Healthcare Transaction Base546494 Feb 13, 2007 8:41 AM (in response to 561050)Hi Gert,
am having difficulty reaching your email.
mine is firstname.lastname@example.com
Any documentation is appreciated

Can I Get Pregnant With Endometriosis
Can I Get Pregnant With Fibroids In The Uterus?
"Can I get pregnant with fibroids?" is a question often asked by women who are aware that they have these common growths, but who are wanting to start a family. Generally, fibroids are harmless and the symptoms they cause can be painful and uncomfortable, but not life-threatening.
Many women can and do conceive despite their fibroids. Indeed, problems arise in the minority rather than the majority of women. However, when problems do occur they can be severe, ranging from miscarriage to infertility.
Whether or not you can get pregnant with fibroids depends on a number of factors. Some of which are easy to determine and some of which are not. If you fibroids are large, or if they are located close to the cervix or the entrance to the fallopian tubes, your chances of conception may be compromised. Large fibroids can distort the uterine cavity making implantation impossible, or cause an early miscarriage even before a pregnancy is confirmed.
Some women asking "Can I get pregnant with fibroids?" may find that becoming pregnant is not the only issue. Once pregnant, fibroids can cause problems in a number of ways. For example, some fibroids will grow during pregnancy due to the influence of the raised levels of hormones. This can then mean that the baby and the fibroid are effectively "competing" for nourishment and this can sometimes (albeit rarely) cause a miscarriage. In addition, large fibroids can sometimes result in premature delivery, but thankfully the pregnancy is often at a stage where this does not cause complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are my chances of getting pregnant? (Endometriosis)?
I'm 20 years old and I have Endometriosis. I've been with my boyfriend for nearly 2 years, but we haven't had intercourse for 18 months, because of the pain. I have severe pain during intercourse because of the Endometriosis. I've had a laparoscopy to see if I had it, and I did, and they said it was too insignificant to remove at the time. But then my gynaecologist done an internal on me and that hurt too, so he put me in for a second laparoscopy to remove the scarring, and I woke up after thinking they'd removed it but they said it was too insignificant again.
My sister is studying Osteopathic Medicine and felt around my tummy, and felt my womb and ovaries, and said the whole of my left side felt completely damaged. (The endometriosis is on the left side of my womb)
I'm fed up now, because the pain is so severe, I have terrible lower back pain, terrible pelvic pain, I'm always tired, and I have the pain during intercourse.
It's getting to the point now where I want a baby, and I can't believe how broody I am! My boyfriend also wants one, but has already said, we don't even have intercourse so how are we supposed to make a baby?!
What does everyone think my chances are?
Because I really want a baby quite soon, I'm getting jealous reading everyone elses things of being pregnant!
Dear Bec,
I am so sorry you have experienced so much pain and so little help from your Gynaecologist. They often don't appreciate the extreme pain that we feel. I have had Endometriosis for over 15years and can offer you heaps of advice on how to deal with the pain and allow you to have sex again! Please check out my blog and you will find heaps of free advice.
There is also an article all about being able to have babies with Endometriosis!

All the best and happy Health

Any advice on getting pregnant with endometriosis?
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a couple of years. A few months ago, I had surgery to remove a cyst, and the doctor found that I have endometriosis. The only option that I know of is IVF, but we can't afford that right now. Hopefully someone else can give me some advice!
I don't think there's anything specific to do to try getting pregnant. My friend had cervical cancer AND endometriosis and was told she'd never be able to conceive. But after a couple years, to her surprise, she got pregnant and had a completely healthy pregnancy. The only advice I guess is to stay optimistic and to just keep trying without thinking about it, because if it's meant to be, it will happen.
CAN YOU STILL GET PREGNANT WITH endometriosis?
I think i may have endometriosis, i have alot of the symptoms. I am 25 years old, i would say im healthy. Apart from this past year i have had irregular and pain full periods with alot of clotting. My husband and i have been trying to have a baby for about 10 months now and we sill are not pregnant.My pap smear came back fine. Would this condition even show up on my pap? Please any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi! You would need to get a lap done to be sure. It's basically an exploratory, diagnostic surgery. It's not bad. They'll put you to sleep for it and it's a minor recovery. There are lot of reasons why they perform laps. Abnormal periods, possible endometriosis, possible tubal occlusion, etc. If you do have the lap, and they find signs of endo, they can probably remove most of the scar tissue right then and there. Then, they would probably tell you to try right away for a baby since the endo tissue will eventually grow back.
I just had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy last month. And I know that women with endo are at higher risk for ectopic due to scar tissue. The scar tissue can grow and attach to your tubes on the outiside.
If your doctor won't perform the lap now, wait two more months and go see an RE (reproductive endocrinologist). Usually after twelve months of trying to conceive with no luck, you can get referred to an RE…and go from there with any diagnostic tests.
Good luck hun. Hope things work out for you!
Can one fall pregnant with endometriosis and how?
I've got a friend who has this condition, she's 29 yrs old (married)and has undergone 2 operations for this thing.Everyday she calls me crying that she can't concieve and she thinks she has been cursed with this condition, what can she do to have a child and which medication can she take, she's been given some stuff but nothing seems to work.
Endo is a difficult condition to treat. I have suffered with this for many years and am ttc. If your friend has had laser treatment on her endo – it's a difficult decision to make by her specialist, as sometimes the scar tissue left behind from this treatment can also make it difficult to conceive. Unfortunately the real bummer with endo is the catch 22 that is 'best form of cure or partial cure is to conceive… annoying I know. We have been ttc for 3 years with no luck, the best thing you can do as her friend is be there for her to moan to, and to cry at! It helps letting out your frustration! Please pass on my luck!
Tips for getting pregnant with Endometriosis?
I actually already posted a similar question, but I decided to repost to see if I could get more answers. This is more out of curiosity, and I'm not trying for kids right now. But I have endometriosis which can make it difficult. I already know when I ovulate, because it hurts like hell from the Endometriosis. So that's not gonna be an issue. Just any tips that anybody ever used to get pregnant would be much appreciated. Especially if anybody has this infection and has managed to concieve. Thanks so much!!
I have endometriosis too and was having difficulty conceiving. After 18 months without success I was put on clomid as it was found that I wasn't ovulating every month. After 6 months without success on clomid alone, I was given IUI treatment (intro-uterine insemination). I have just conceived on the second attempt, at last! So, I'm living proof that it can be done. Hope this helps.

You've gone from Photoshop PSD to slices to XHTML using Parts 1, 2, and 3 but if the end result is a WordPress theme the majority of the work still has to be done. First of all it's important to understand one bit of the operational mechanics of WordPress. WordPress looks for certain information the header of a file called style.css, this is how it can tell themes apart. Here's a better explanation from Codex:
In addition to CSS style information for your theme, the stylesheet, style.css must provide details about the Theme in the form of comments. No two Themes are allowed to have the same details listed in their comment headers, as this will lead to problems in the Theme selection dialog. If you make your own Theme by copying an existing one, make sure you change this information first.
Thus, we need to separate our inline CSS and put it in a separate file called style.css
Cleaning up Your XHTML
Let's start by creating a blank document called style.css in the same directory as your HTML file. Open the CSS file and add the following information:
/* Theme Name: your-themes-name Theme URI: the-theme's-homepage Description: a-brief-description Author: your-name Author URI: your-URI Template: use-this-to-define-a-parent-theme--optional Version: a-number-optional General comments/License Statement if any. */
like so
Now let's open the HTML file the Photoshop created for us which should look something like this.
The inline document is essentially divided for us already because everything between the  tags is going to be cut out of our html document and pasted into the CSS document just after the heading we just added. Let's do that now, copy the style data out of the HTML document and into the CSS document and make sure that you close the tags once you've done so.
The resulting HTML file should now look like this:
and the CSS file like this:
Got it? Now lets do some major cleaning. Now that we've removed the style from our HTML we need to add it back. We're going to replace the empty

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring human state. It's experienced in the following life situations:
- Injury and trauma
- Surprise and confusion
- High performance
- Meditative and contemplative states
- Dreams and visions
The focusing and dissociation of attention which takes place at these times aide us in survival of shock and pain, concentration on narrow goals, and imaginative exploration.
In hypnotic therapy, hypnosis is placed at the service of the patient's goals. The relationship guides hypnotic trance and the therapist collaborates with the patient to utilize his or her resources, both conscious and unconscious. Each therapy is meant to be highly individual.
You are probably familiar with the uses of hypnosis to help people stop smoking, lose weight, restore sleep in insomnia, overcome phobias, and help realistic positive thinking. Many of these problems attach themselves to other areas of life, so it helps to have hypnosis done by a licensed professional therapist.
MHEIBA's therapists, male and female hypnotists of great experience, practice throughout the SF Bay Area. You can see their photos, bios, and contact information. Some specialize in using hypnosis with addictions, others in the hypnotic treatment of children or couples. Some of our licensed therapists emphasize habit and phobia treatments. Others practice body-based therapies such as Feldenkrais Method.

"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become." — Carl Gustav Jung
As a holistic therapist, I believe we all have everything we need inside of us to be whole. At this very moment, you know what you need to free yourself from your debilitating depression and self-doubt. You understand what actions to take to walk out of your secret shame and into your greatest desire. And you know the path to your own personal fulfillment. My work as a therapist is to help you access your own internal resources. It is a sacred journey — one I take very seriously. I have been on this journey myself for many years.
I have also received specialized training in a number of healing methods, including:
• Imago Relationship Therapy
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
• EFT Tapping Level 1 (Emotional Freedom Technique)
• Ericksonian Hypnosis
• Guided Visualization
• Behavioral Modification Techniques
• Nonviolent Crisis Intervention
In addition to my academic training, I have lived through many life challenges that now give me a depth of understanding with my clients and informs my work.While our life experience may influence who we've become, it does not define who we can be. I will assist you in moving through old patterns and behaviors so you may discover new ways of coping with stress, trauma, and difficulty while supporting you in your commitment to personal growth.
Free 15-30 minute consultation. I see clients in my Oakland and Pleasant Hill, California offices. Call 510-457-1534 firstname.lastname@example.com

In the past, residents have been up in arms with the idea of the Flying J travel plaza making a home in Dothan. The plaza is slated to be at the corner of South Oates and Ross Clark Circle and people are expecting heavy traffic problems with the new business.
Last month, California's attorney general filed a lawsuit against Flying J Incorporated, noting several violations in six truck stops. The suit states problems with underground storage tanks and tampering with leak detection devices.
News 4 met with city officials today to see what will be done to protect Dothan from the same thing from happening here.
The corner of South Oates and Ross Clark Circle is a jungle of weeds and trees but soon it will be a bustling truck stop and travel plaza.
In California, six locations of the Flying J Incorporated have had a serious environmental impact but Dothan city officials say there is no need to worry of that happening here.
Jerry Corbin, Director of Public Works Dept, said "This will be handled like any other commercial development. We will look at the permit for grading plan, approve the construction plan. And we will have inspectors visit the site on a regular basis."
However, he says anytime there is plumbing there is a risk of some leaks.
"It's an unfortunate situation where it is involving fuel. We will do everything we can to ensure the installation is proper," said Corbin.
The final design has not been submitted but they expect to start at the location in the next few months.
The complaint in California alleges that Flying J has violated fifty codes. If found guilty, the company faces multi-million dollar penalties.

The web is a visual medium. We all love to see pictures along with a story so why dont we put more visuals into job descriptions?
Its such as easy thing to do, or perhaps not since ATS's dont really let you upload an image. But employers need to start showing off their work environments is a more visual way since it can be a differentiator and a way to brand yourselves. This is especially true for companies who have that "cool" office space.

I'm making a trip to the left coast in January and wanted to see if any TT Members had any suggestions on courses I should try to hit while in the Oceanside area. Unfortunately, Torrey is out as I'll be there the same week as the Farmers Open. To complicate matters, I'll be coming off a work trip to Singapore so I'm also trying to decide if I'll use shipsticks (or something similar) or just rent...
Any help/thoughts are appreciated.
Arrowood and Camp Pendleton-usmc are in Oceanside.. Encinitas Ranch and The Crossing at Carlsbard are a stones throw away?
Aviara in Carlsbad -- hosts an LPGA tour event. Lots of elevation changes (maybe too much) but always nice to play with great conditions and super staff.

The David Barton Project: Counting Down the Days
Hi, readers! If you're one of the few people that noticed (besides you, mom), I apologize for being MIA for the last two weeks. It turns out a full-time job can really cut into one's blogging time. I was still working out though - I don't think coming down with the plague could get me out of 8 sessions in a row. I've also continued to work on my eating (although I must admit I've slipped a little--who can resist huge holiday gift baskets full of chocolate covered cherries and lemon cookies?) and, overall, I'm happy with my ratio of indulging to passing.
Something I'm not so happy with is the fact that I've apparently become that sleazy person at parties who goes around flexing and telling people to "check out these guns." When did this happen? Hopefully it's a newbie thing that comes with the territory and will pass quickly because, honestly, even I'm annoying me. And God forbid someone mention they heard I've been working out with a trainer. I'm usually a pretty good judge of when I'm boring someone to tears but my radar is totally off. I don't think I'll be making any new friends this holiday.
My cardio has been on track (45 minutes to an hour 3 days a week) on the days that I'm not working out at the gym, which makes me hopeful for my soon to be completely depressing future without MacKenzie. I've been trying to slowly establish a pattern on my own so the transition will seem less jarring (and scary) and I made a new friend in my building's tiny little gym who has agreed (at her own peril) to be my workout buddy so my situation isn't entirely bleak.
Protein Powder: I've been buying my MacKenzie-approved whey isolate protein powder at Max Muscle in
In my last post I wrote a little about coconut oil, but I've also tried a flax, sesame and sunflower oil to get in my essential fatty acids called Udo's Oil 3-6-9 Blend. It has a nuttier taste than the coconut oil and, in my opinion, goes down a little easier. Just don't try to cook with it like the coconut oil - it should only be poured over foods that are unheated. (The website recommends pouring it over dessert. I recommend not doing that.)
Alright! I will be gearing up for my last two sessions this week and my next, last post coming to you after Christmas will be complete with before and after pictures and stats. I can't believe it's almost over--I hope you check back to see my final progress. You guys have all been great!

The largest selection of bourbon will be down town market square at the stock and barrel. They have good burgers as well. thestockandbarrel.com. There is a wine bar beside "Bistro by the Tracks" that has a few good bottles. I drank son of bourye there a few weeks ago. Most of the others will be JD, JB, and MM as the premium. Might be better to pick up a few bottles at McScrooges. Not a lot of places catering to bourbon fans in Knoxville. Baker Peters Jazz Club has closed. They did have a good selection of premium bourbons. I'm sure there are others that are slipping my mind. If I think of any others I will post back. tim

It was in the old city section. I had been in the cigar part a few years back, but not the bar side. It may still be open. I'll try to google it and give them a call to check. tim
I called Old City Cigar (865-851-9526) and they are still open, but they said the bar with the good bourbon selection next door had closed. There is a speakeasy in the Oliver hotel near market square that you should avoid. Awful, overpriced drinks and food. Nothing even close to patterson house in Nashville. tim

Thanks for the info fellas. Looks like I will give Stock & Barrel a try. Maybe if there is time we can slip over to Nashville one night while we are there.

Image not getting painted.

I have a
in which I need to have a TIFF
displayed and scaled. When a component gains focus I need to zoom in on a specific area of that image. For lack of a better method I simply created two PlanarImages, one scaled the appropriate size for the zoom out and one scaled to the size I would need when zoomed in and then converted those to
. I use the
in an
which is in turn used in a
which is in turn used in a
. When I need to zoom in I get a Subimage of the
that has the appropriate scaling and set that as
's image.
It works... except for one thing... when I do the zoom in the image doesn't appear, well it will appear as soon as I change the size of the frame at all with my mouse. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, my code is getting called in the Event Handling thread and should be thread safe, I don't know why it doesn't wait for it to load. I tried using a
and waitForAll on the image but that doesn't help.
public void zoomTo(int x, int y, int width, int height) { icon.setImage((BufferedImage)zoomImage.getSubimage(x, y, width, height)); this.setSize(width + 10, height + 40); }

Call validate() or invalidate() on the component that is drawing the image... if the images are different sizes the layout manager may need to lay out the component again. validate() and invalidate() force the layout manager to run again.

Tried that.
Actually I tried revalidate() but now I tried validate() and invalidate() and it doesn't seem to help. I changed the alignment of the icon to the top left because I discovered that it was getting painted it was just getting painted in part of the frame that isn't showing on the screen apparently.
Even so, most of the image shows up but the far right 50 or so pixels are gray for some unknown reason. Even as I change the image when each field gains focus that blank area is still there. The thing is, as soon as I touch the resize with my mouse it works, and will work perfectly the rest of the time the application is running. Hell, even if I resize the big zoomed out picture in the first place and then go through the fields which makes it change to the zoomed in versions it works perfectly. I don't get it.
public void zoomTo(final int x, final int y, final int width, final int height) { Runnable updateImage = new Runnable() { public void run() { setSize(width + 10, height + 35); icon.setImage((BufferedImage)zoomImage.getSubimage(x, y, width, height)); label.invalidate(); repaint(); } }; SwingUtilities.invokeLater(updateImage); }
Another thing to add, I tried removing the alignment to the top left in the initialization and the image doesn't show up again. However, I added in code to the above just before the invalidate that changes the label's size to the appropriate size (as it seemed to me that the label wasn't getting its size updated before the layout and paint occurred) and it works, except I STILL have that 50-100 pixels of blank space until I resize it at some point, even if it's before the point at which I zoomed in on the images!
Oh... and that's using a size of 500x100 and everyone of my images that use that width/height have the problem, however the smaller ones that are 300x100 display perfectly.

I really can't figure out why you are having this problem...
Take a look at the code I used to try and re-create the problem. It seems to be working OK... Is this something like what you were trying to do?

I've noticed that the 'blank' part is the area of the frame that wasn't viewable before the resize. What I mean is that initially the frame ends up at 460x600 due to the scaling, when I resize it goes to 500x100. Those 40 pixels on the right are the 'blank' area. Also, when I go back to 460x600 from the 500x100 (when I zoom out) everything below the 100 pixels is 'blank' as well.
To be honest I don't really understand your code. Two months ago I'd never programmed before so I'm kind of new and I don't really know much about imaging. What am I doing wrong? Also, is there a need/reason to go through all the hassle of what you did to generate the images?

Refund of upgrade price from Optiontown.com?

Has any one used upgrade options of Optiontown.com? I have just come to know about this optiontown.com and their upgrade travel options which they call UTO! I have booked a Air Asia economy ticket for KUL to DEL. I am planning to sign up for upgrade at optiontown.com. They have mentioned that I have to pay the upgrade price in advance & they will refund my money back if i am not upgraded! I do not know whether to trust this website or not. What if they don't refund my money back. Does they really upgrade to premium at such low prices as they claim? I would appreciate if any one could help me with this.

I have not used it for Air Asia flights. I could not get the chance yet. I have used their upgrades for my ARN-ORD Flight. It was a long flight and I was very lucky to get the upgrades as it could be a nightmare in economy for me causing me backache.

Pls be very very carefull. I have already used the optiontown and they will upgrade upon premium seat availability. If no seat,for sure to my experience they will not refund and no response even you call and leave message numerous times.
I had bad experience.Somewhere in January 2011, i Travel from KL-Tokyo and i was upgraded to a premium seat and on my return flight they didnt upgrade may seat not available. Well they should refund immediately or latest within 1 week. Till today i didnt get the refund but after few emails,they replied my email saying that already refund to my Amex card a/c which i used to pay. When i called Amex,they confirm me few times that there is no such refund from Optiontown. When i called and mention the same to Option town,they told will check & revert to me but again later giving me same reply and asking me to check with Amex. When i check with Amex,again they told same answer that no refund received.
I did also send email to Air Asia but they did not reply till to date. I did purchase bcz recommended by Air Asia.Pls dont trust Option town and i hope all Airlines should reconsider the tie ups with Option town since they seems not keeping to promise.

We applied for an Optiontown upgrade for a recent flight on AirAsia. We got an email a few hours before the flight. At the AirAsia check-in desk they had no record of the upgrade and refused to change our seats. Optiontown are refusing to refund our fee. Steer clear of Optiontown.

I used Optiontown for an Air Asia flight from NZ to KL in 2011. I got an email a few days before to say that I wasn't accepted for the upgrade, and received the refund a week or so later. I seem to recall it said that you would get the refund within 2 weeks??
So it sounds like it's a mixed set of reviews. (Just realised that the original post is quite an old one - but I guess the info is still relevant).

If you have not use the upgrade service of optiontown, they guarantee to process the refund of upgrade price. send an email to optiontown with your boarding pass, which will prove that you have not been upgraded to business class. they will confirm the same with the airline and process the refund.

Optiontown has the worst service ever. They took your money first before they can guarantee you the seat, that's fine right because we just want to be on the waiting list. We hope that when we pay today, we will be above people that pay tomorrow in that waiting list. And our chance is higher than the late bookers. But no! You know how it works? Randomly! Even you pay first, people who pay later can get the seat you're waiting for months. And yes, the number of seat you and the late bookers applied are the same. So there's no issue on the seats available. It is the issue of cutting queue, random selection of who will get the upgrade. Very unfair, very scam operation. And they don't even tell it on the website. If your operation is on random selection, tell us upfront! They took our money and make it looks like on the first come first serve basis, but actually they just pick any booking to upgrade randomly. What a bad service. I experienced this, we have separate Air Asia X booking, then when we get Optiontown offer, my friend try it first. After 4 days, then only I applied it. When it is 2 days before our flight, I got the successful confirmation and my friend who applied earlier did not get it. We were curious and when we call them they gave me that random answer. We were so shocked and felt cheated. Seriously this the worst service ever. Randomly operated company can't be trusted!

Design Review tonight: Avalon project advances, 42nd doesn'tApril 9, 2009 at 11:55 pm | In Development, Luna Park, West Seattle news | 2 Comments
That's the Transitional Resources project at 2922 SW Avalon, one of two projects examined by Southwest Design Review Board members tonight at Madison Middle School. This is intended to be an 16-unit residential project over 1200+ square feet of living space, part of the TR complex offering services, including residential units, to people living with mental illness. This was the project's first time before the board, seeking "early design guidance" (see the full presentation here); members agreed to let it move on to the next phase, with a few recommendations, including open-space coordination and the courtyard entry. Next project did not have such smooth sailing:
That's 4532 42nd SW (presentation here), which last went before the board 10 months ago (WSB coverage here). It's already passed "early design guidance," so it's in the second phase of design review, but has to come back for at least one more meeting. Last June, board members said they wanted a closer look at what this mixed-use building (35 residential units over 3,000 sf commercial) will look like at street level; they got one tonight but aren't happy yet with how the ground-level retail will look – saying it's not inviting enough and looks distant and inaccessible, which could lead to business failure. So the first floor will be the topic of the next meeting – in hopes a revamp will make it less "vanilla" and "generic." One more note from tonight's meeting: new members Norma Tompkins and Robin Murphy joined the board.

I'm IMPRESSED with the resourcefulness of the design for the Transitional Resources project on SW Avalon. Wise use of indoor and outdoor space.
It's probably a good idea to TWEAK the ventilation and lighting plans for the residential units on one side of the new building. The reason: At some point in the future there will likely be a 44 foot high blank wall abutting this new TR building. The future development could be a 44 foot high condo building right where the Tillicum Tours office is currently located.

-I think it was Hammerhed (sic) Cycles that used to operate out of the house that is on the site of the future, new Transitional Resources building. I used to take my bike to the fellow that ran the shop. Always wondered where he wound up….
-I really wish there were a lot more Transitional Resources facilities in WS and around the City. Seems like there is such a great need for these kind of places for people to receive the help they need.
