As we know from reading the containers of dishwashing detergents, something can be called 'Green' and not help to heal a tattered landscape or bring more life to an ecosystem. This is as true in our built ecosystems and architectures as anywhere else in product design, and this should not surprise us; ever since Le Corbusier's 'Machines for Living' popularized the notion, the places we live, sleep, eat, love, celebrate and mourn have been products, commodities, marketed like any other.
But not until fairly recently have we been forced to be so discerning when judging the intent of greenwashing language and labels on building plans. With increasing concern over Global Climate Change, there has been a drive to frame new projects, of any kind, in environmental terms. Genuine concern over the direction of the climate has led to their adoption. Yet a building made of energy-efficient components can still work against the larger effort to create a living ecology of urban design, by breaking down the gradients of density needed to cultivate it. Until we can understand and articulate to others why uncharacteristic projects are not sustainable in a genuine sense, we will be at a loss when confronting these situations in our communities.
A Pattern Language is a unique work in the realm of built design, because its singular goal is to empower individuals and small communities to tackle monumental works through a commonly understood toolkit for building places at all scales.
What is a Pattern Language?
"The elements of this language are entities called Patterns. Each Pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice.�? - A Pattern Language, C.A., p.x
A Pattern Language describes the intense interrelation between acts of building which happen, each in response to those around it. Each Pattern names a spatial context, a problem, and a solution which resolves the conflicts at work there. In many cases, the name of the pattern itself conveys a directive version of its solution (ie, "Main Gateway" or "Roof Garden").
The built world did not pop into being at random; a door is a door (and is also a rudimentary pattern) because of the human events which shaped its form (in this example, the act of entering and exiting a space was then developed into a solution to the problem of keeping elements out and warmth in). "This does not mean that space creates events, or that it causes them,�? writes Alexander. "It simply means that a pattern of events cannot be separated from the space where it occurs.�? (The Timeless Way of Building, p72-73).
In many ways, Alexander is suggesting that form and function or style and substance cannot be so easily disentangled as we would believe. If we understand this, then we can understand why the character of a given neighborhood is so difficult to restore once it is destroyed: to destroy a neighborhood's forms (houses, etc) is very much to destroy its functions (communities, etc). Before the decimation of old-growth neighborhoods in the latter half of the 20th century, the interwoven patterns of behavior which governed a cafe below an apartment, or a small park by a school, or a home with a garden of one's own, were everywhere. They had taken years to build up, each in response to the ones around it.
A single highway, built to carry the cars which brought on much of our present climate crisis, also cut swaths through intricate urban environments. We understand this much. But as we race against unsustainability to restore the urban environments we clearcut, we are forgetting that the new places we build will impact their environments and neighborhoods just as massively as our highways did.
A Pattern Language names the pattern which applies to the 7th street tower situation: "Four Story Limit�?. Yet it actually speaks to a question of proportion, and indeed can be reapplied at the larger level of the region, and at the smaller level of individual home design. Patterns of Home (Jacobson, Silverstein and Winslow) names it simply "Parts in Proportion�?. Sarah Susanka, in her own home-scaled Pattern Language book Home By Design, simply infuses her entire Pattern Language with proportion and relative scale.
Patterns either strengthen or weaken those around them. To the extent that a pattern strengthens and contributes to the life of those around it, the pattern is sustainable. To the extent that a pattern weakens and detracts from the life of those around it, the pattern is unsustainable. Truly sustainable Patterns can be marked by the extent to which they contribute to the vitality of their surroundings.
Any place is inherently bound up with its surroundings; when it fails to help strengthen them, "The centre cannot hold.�? (Yeats) As we begin to see that interdependence is just as much a factor in our urban as in our natural ecosystems, the concept of sustainability takes on a new urgency and import. For it is our neighborhoods and communities which will have to withstand and absorb the strain of future crises.
Just in time for large-scale action on Global Climate Change, words like 'Green' and 'Sustainable' have become political. But this leaves us needing to redefine the ways in which they are used for the creation or destruction of living neighborhoods, as much as living ecosystems. At the least, there is hope for defining sustainable in terms of a system's synergy (which builds over time) or its self-defeating lack of it (which breaks a system down over time). Working on a Worldchanging Pattern Language will allow us to build a flexible but precise tool.
The task of redefining sustainable neighborhoods matters, because genuinely living neighborhoods will be called on to serve double and triple duty as the viability of outlying and sprawling areas become unable to support a culture shifting painfully away from an automotive basis. Until and unless we can hone our way of describing these problems and solutions, the crisis of inner-ring suburbs will intensify as disproportionate central urban projects continue to push outwards on those who cannot afford to live compactly.
If we do not have the coherence of language needed to protect our central urban neighborhoods from unsustainable design, then we certainly will not have the words to convert (for example) greyfield suburban mall areas into town centers. (See also Worldchanging p241) And if we cannot, we run the risk of looking back from desperately unsustainable and crumbling subdivisions, to 2007, when such ideas as mall inversions were seen simply as a forefront of progressive New Urban development and not a lifesaving adaptive measure.
As recent events demonstrate, the time for us to understand these things universally enough to communicate them with impact... is yesterday.
This is one of my very favorite books, and I have read it several times. I refer to it often when making Permaculture design decisions.
But it is a bit much to dive into. I recommend people read "A Timeless Way Of Building" first. It has a unique book design -- you can get the gist of it in one sitting of an hour or two by reading only the italicized paragraphs.
Once you understand "A Timeless Way," "A Pattern Language" will make much more sense.
Jan, I agree; my respect for 'The Timeless Way of Building' has grown and grown over the years. For any author with big ideas to care more about getting the main point across than the illusion that everyone who needs that point will also read the whole thing, is admirable in itself. :) It also foreshadows evolutions in C.A.'s approach which come to full fruition only in 'The Nature of Order,' written many years later.
I'll be referencing Timeless Way a lot as this series continues. Thanks for the comment!
Heath, thanks for a great post. Something fundamental about Patterns is that, like DNA, they're instructions, not descriptions. We can try describing a sustainable world until we're blue in the face, but the real test is whether we can develop the instructions and processes - the DNA if you will - that will create a sustainable world.
I hope you're aware of the Patterns of a Conservation Economy, work done by the EcoTrust of Portland, Oregon. The underlying idea is explained in this article, by Stuart Cowan. It's an admirable effort, though it falls far short of what's needed. We now have the tools to undertake a worldwide, collaborative, wiki-like Pattern Language of Sustainability, extending and enhancing the work of Alexander, the EcoTrust and others.
Hello Heath,
I think creating a Green Pattern Language is a wonderful idea. I worked as an apprentice with Christopher Alexander for four years in Berkeley in the 1980's when he was working on his Nature of Order series. He has profoundly influenced my thinking. I have often wondered if there might be a way to marry Alexander's pattern work with the movement toward sustainability. I believe that creating a Green Pattern Language would be a wonderful way to pause and reflect on what truly works, instead of hurtling off in any "green" direction.
Good article!
Don't forget Bill McDonough's ecological design principles:
waste equals food
use only available solar income
respect diversity
love all the children
I'd say maximize solar access is a sustainable pattern in the language we need to learn how to speak.
Great! At MCAD we love these books -- Timeless Way is used for our on-line systems course (offered this summer) and APL is used for _Sustainability Or Else_ Students are starting to make small pattern languages. Norbert H. made one about pathways in parks that is very useful for city councils making contractor decisions. He is now working on a project at http://Thinkcycle.org where the team is mapping biomimicry information as patterns. APL is a great study group book -- get together twice a month, start at the beginning, and see how the five patterns you are looking at apply in your work or community.
Forgot to include my e-mail : email@example.com
David, thanks for the link to EcoTrust's Patterns. I'll try to weave this in to one of the upcoming parts of this series. Your point about a Pattern Language being a generative approach is on target with where I'm headed; in the next part, I tackle the first three traits I've seen as related to this: Scale, Sequence, and Scope. I should be posting that to the Worldchanging Austin page in a few days. (By the way, perhaps we'll see some of you at SXSW!)
I have been talking with Jon Lebkowsky a bit about the idea of actually doing this within a Wiki, though a bit more preparation is needed. One of the reasons WikiPedia is so successful, I think, is that the idea of an 'encyclopedia article' lends structure to an often-scattered medium (wikis). A Pattern Language also carries a semi-formal template for an entry, so I think there's hope for a very focused but still organic resource. Describing that template and taking a stab at a Pattern drawn from the Worldchanging guide will be the subject of Part 3 (this being Part 1). Stay tuned.
Fiona, the amazing thing about A Pattern Language is that is approach has spread across a variety of fields, and will continue to do so whether used in the context of WorldChanging, or the Greens, or EcoTrust, or indeed software programmers. I also know that, now that Alexander's completed the Nature of Order series, to him A Pattern Language seems far too complex... but it serves as a starting point, a toolkit for peeling away the layers to get at the more fundamental thesis of NoE. It's on my to-do list to get to that work as well, because I think it has a powerful and maybe sobering premise. But, all seeds spring best in due season... :) It may be only now that A Pattern Language is germinating widely enough...

Heath (and Jon), that's great news about the potential wiki.
I worked with Chris Alexander for a short while in the 1980's, and I've thought a lot about this topic since then. I think it has even more potential than
described in your fine post. I'd hate to bore anyone, but I've placed a
PDF file on an FTP site. It's of a presentation I've given many times on
Pattern Languages and Sustainability - this particular version is for an
online course I teach for an architectural school in Boston. If anyone's
interested, they can find it here:
It's in a folder called "pub" and the file is called "BACPatterns.pdf". It
might be relevant to this topic.
I'm really interested in furthering the idea of a collaborative Pattern
Language of sustainability.
I strongly endorse reading Timeless Way, but disagree that APL is difficult. It is complex yet is very accessible, and is perhaps the best book on human built systems that we have. There are several reasons for this: 1)Patterns are illustrated and shown to be the resolution of forces. 2)Patterns are linked up and down. 3)We all know houses.
To use it as a design tool adds interconnections back into the system whereas most housing design takes connections away (a key reason APL leads to sustainable designs).
We have found that it can be hard to build a good pattern language. 1)Pattern languages are not a single brain problem. 2)It takes significant time and energy. 3)Often the patterns seem too simple to us as we focus on the new. Recall that APL was built over years by a team of people who negotiated how strong they felt the patterns were. This is not a one month project! Yet you can build the outlines, make it accessible, and let others contribute. Sort of open source for sustainability. You are proposing an outstanding project -- please sign me up for the team! email@example.com
Can we combine pattern language (+ perhaps Nature of order) with the following:
- Fundamental Processes in Ecology - An Earth Systems approach (look at book by the same name by David M. Wilkinson)
- System Dynamics Modeling (perhaps combined with Soft Systems Methodology) for modeling our systems.
- Self-regulating systems from cybernetic (e.g. Viable Systems Model by Beer) for understanding various levels of self-regulating systems.
- Emergy & Exergy calculations and Energy Systems Language (e.g. H.Odum) for understanding our energy transfers and system boundaries.
- Learning through simulation. We can't build everything at once and learn our mistakes by building as it's a fairly slow process, so we could benefit from simulation first. Yes, even simple ones. I've tried AnyLogic 6 myself and it offers multiple modeling levels even for non-programmers (to do SD level analysis) and supports standard Java simulation models. There are other programs too, like the free VensimPE available for this.
Something like this would be an effort worth considering, but how to approach it?
Who is already doing work like this?
How to get to tangible and inspiring results quickest?
How to build on that success and go forward?
To SamuM: These are pretty different things! Anyone could participate in creating or using a pattern language (the farmer, the carpenter, the home-owner and the architect). Creating and using computer based models is a whole 'nother kettle of fish. It turns out we do this in MN, and are looking for a project right now. If you want to work with us drop me a line: (email@example.com)
It might be possible to use simple models to "test out" patterns. I wonder about diffusion of innovation and creating a cell-based model (as opposed to the aggregate models) which could lead to deeper understanding of how innovations "catch on".
To my eyes, most of the approaches you mention, SamuM, are tools falling into the realm of the sorts of things WorldChanging brings together. To be fair, a Pattern Language is a tool also, but it is also a metatool grounded in real-world action and creation. If (and it's only an 'if') we end up with a Pattern Language tying WorldChanging tools together, it'd probably be best to keep the semi-formal structure of the original Pattern Language, and weave our other tools into individual patterns.
Each of the approaches you mention is a way of looking at a part of the world, and of describing it. As with any other pattern, each would prosper based on how fully it ties in with other tools and approaches, and how readily its use can be described as a sequence of actions leading to unmistakable results in the physical world.
- Heath
SamuM: Thank you for the reference to AnyLogic 6, I have forwarded it to our working group here. We like their example of diffusion of innovation using agents.
As I am sure you know, soft systems and viable systems models are used for human activity systems -- the study of organizations. This is real and fundamental, and raises the question of whether a pattern language should be about stuff (as APL is about buildings, as Bucky Fuller was about artifacts) or if it should stress best practice in things like open source or customer driven innovation (von Hippel, http://web.mit.edu/evhippel/www/tutorials.htm).
Thanks also for the reference on Ecology!

For future reference, Part II is logged in the Austin Blog. Quite a bit too abstract for the main site, I imagine, it's here for posterity and anyone who wants to follow the thread from here on to Part III (final) after it.

A glass memorial to the victims of 12/14 will be unveiled at a public reception Sunday, June 29, from 1 to 4 pm, at Curtis Packaging, 44 Berkshire Road.
Commissioned by local businessman Don Droppo, Sr, the 21-inch-high glass sculpture on a 26- by 30-inch base is a library scene of stained glass books lining six shelves, which surround 20 tiny glass chairs. The shelves represent the teachers who were lost 12/14, and the empty chairs honor the students. Etched into the front of the sculpture's base, between two single library shelves is the date, the only obvious reference to December 14, 2012.
Mr Droppo commissioned the piece from well-known Santa Fe, N.M., artist Lucy Lyon. Ms Lyon is known for her ability to express complex emotion and inspire thoughtfulness with her cast-glass sculptures. The artist will be on hand when the sculpture is unveiled to the public, and will speak at 2 pm.
The sculpture will be on display at Curtis Packaging throughout July, from 9 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday. It will then be offered to local community groups for permanent display. Interested parties can contact Mr Droppo at email@example.com.

Adam Taliaferro, who recovered from a horrifying spinal cord injury while playing in a football game for Penn State, will deliver a short eulogy memorializing his Hall of Fame coaching legend Joe Paterno at the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association's 108th annual Dinner on Monday, January 30, 2012 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, on Route 70 in Cherry Hill, NJ.
Taliaferro was a freshman defensive back when he suffered the career-ending injury in the fifth game of his collegiate career. He was given a 3 percent chance of walking again but miraculously recovered to return to Happy Valley to serve as a student assistant coach less than a year later.
"He (Paterno) was my inspiration," Taliaferro recalled during one of the public viewings for his coach. "He was a guy that taught me a lot about myself. Without him, I certainly wouldn't be where I am today."
Taliaferro, who graduated in 2005, is an associate attorney with the Cherry Hill (NJ) law firm of Duane Morris LLP and was recently elected a Freeholder in Gloucester County .
Paterno, who died on Jan. 22 of lung cancer, was the all-time winningest coach in Division I with 409 victories. He guided Penn State to two national championships and five undefeated seasons over 46 years.
The public is welcome to attend the dinner. Tickets are $95 apiece, and are available by clicking here.
Doors to the banquet open at 5 p.m., with the dinner starting promptly at 6:30 p.m.

White maize falls for a second dayComment on this story
Johannesburg - White corn in South Africa fell for a second day to the lowest in almost three years as the country is set to harvest the biggest crop since 1981.
The white corn contract for delivery in July lost 1 percent to 1,792 rand a metric ton by the noon close on the South African Futures Exchange, the lowest since July 13, 2011.
The yellow variety fell 0.2 percent to 1,902 rand a ton after touching 1,896 a ton rand, the cheapest since February 13, 2013.
The nation's farmers will probably produce 13.9 million tons of both varieties of corn this year, the Crop Estimates Committee said June 26.
The harvest would be the largest since 1981, when South Africa produced 14.1 million tons.
South Africa is Africa's largest producer of the grain.
White corn is used to make a staple food known locally as pap, while the yellow type is mainly fed to animals.
Wheat was unchanged at 3,610 rand a ton. - Bloomberg News

Male Swimming Trunks
Most of the male swimming trunks that you will see out on the beach were probably purchased at a local discount store. But if you want to really shake things up, then you need to purchase something online. There are so many different styles and designs available that there will definitely be something you will feel comfortable in while out in public that will turn everyone's head in your direction. You just have to sit down at your computer to find the styles that truly speak to you on a deeper level and not be afraid to show that body of yours off in them.
I recently purchased some new male swimming trunks from the Internet and found that most of the people I know are afraid to walk on the beach next to me. They think that I am showing off too much of my body or something and that people will start making fun of them for being with me. The funny thing is that I get more attention from people when I am alone and wearing my trunks than I ever did when they were walking around with me.
I think that they see my male swimming trunks as competition and they are simply afraid to go out and purchase some of their own to step their game up with. That's okay, though, since I would prefer that they wore the same old tired trunks that they have always worn. This way I get all the attention and they keep looking like all the other sheep that are out there wearing trunks they have purchased from a local discount store. My life has truly changed for the better since I have opened myself up to the newest fashions in swimming trunks and there is no way I will ever go back to the more traditional designs.

Ian Williams fights to retain his title to secure an unprecedented fifth World crown as the 2013 Alpari World Match Racing Tour (AWMRT) season gets underway with Match Race Germany.
Ian Williams and Simone Ferrarese cross paths during the 49th Congressional Cup
The 2013 Tour has kicked off with the first regatta of the season on the picturesque Lake Constance at Langenargen, Germany. Ian Williams and his Team GAC Pindar crew will take their place amongst a world-class international field of twelve teams, with Ian hoping to secure his third successive and fifth overall World title.
The AWMRT is the world's leading professional sailing series featuring world-class Championship events across the globe, with six stops on this year's calendar across three continents. Every match race is a duel between two identically matched boats, creating close, aggressive competition, thrilling viewing and some of the most exciting action in world sport.
Great Britain's Ian Williams is on top of the Open match race rankings in the latest ISAF World Ranking
Ian Williams' preparations have included strong third-placed finishes at the Congressional Cup in Long Beach, California in April and in the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club International Match Racing Regatta last weekend, where the light wind was the perfect preparation for the expected conditions on Lake Constance.
Speaking from Germany just prior to the start of the regatta, Ian Williams said: 'The competition in this year's ALPARI World Match Racing Tour is going to be fierce and we are fully prepared for this to be our toughest fight yet. We're competing against the best match racers in the world, but all of us at Team GAC Pindar are very happy with our preparation, we've been training harder than ever and we can't wait for the racing to get underway.'
Andrew Pindar, Team Principal of Team GAC Pindar, added: 'Ian comes into this event in great form as he and his crew bid to secure a historic fifth World title. The beauty of the Alpari World Match Racing Tour is that every event presents different conditions and unique challenges to contend with. What's more, as the racing takes place between identical boats, the teams know that they'll have to fight for every point and earn every win. This takes tremendous skill, commitment and guts, of which there's no shortage in this year's world-class field, but everyone on Team GAC Pindar is ready to roll up their sleeves and do whatever we can to help Ian to defend his title.'

1. The books I ordered on Amazon arrived today (a day early!) so I'll have them to take with me to my race. What kind of books? Books about running, of course. I plan to read them before I go to bed tomorrow night to help calm my mind and to provide a little motivation.
2. I was reminded yesterday of the importance of trying everything before race day. Yesterday's run was my first while wearing crops, which I'm planning to wear during the race. It's a good thing I got in a run because I discovered that my body shape has changed since last I wore them (last year). I was only out for 30min but I was constantly adjusting them and hiking them up because apparently they're too big now. This is something that would have driven me nuts on Saturday. Thankfully I do have a pair in a smaller size that should be alright.
3. I bought Girl Guide cookies this week. That was dumb. They're the chocolate and vanilla kind, not the mint. Why do we even bother with the vanilla ones? Does anyone actually eat them? All my chocolate ones are gone and the vanilla ones are just sitting there lonely. I mean really, the chocolate ones are basically just knock-off Fudgee-Os but with a much less gluttonous-sounding name.
4. I should probably pack. What am I likely to forget?
Best wishes to you.
Rock on and keep on running.....
Don't forget your shoes, they are very important
Good luck!
any type of Girl scout cookie sounds really good right now... I'm in taper-hunger mode.
Best of luck with your marathon!
I am super detail oriented and made a schedule for the weekend then made a packing list based off of that. I have Race eve/ expo, race morning, during the race, post-race bag, and post race, post shower activities, and then fill in what I'll need from there. Don't forget to pack the food you will need to eat prior to the race!
Hope you have a great race!!
Don't forget your garmin. (A little music is always nice)
I did actually forget my shoes once but thankfully I arrived a couple days before the race so I had a chance to buy new ones and get a run in beforehand.
I've got my pre-race breakfast packed as well as a bowl and cutlery with which to eat it.
Garmin - check. IPod - check. Chargers for both - check.
The mints are great but the vanilla are good too -- I'd say send them to me but 1. I don't really need to eat them and 2. my nieces supply the entire mid-atlantic states with Girl Scout cookies so I'm already surrounded by plenty of boxes.
Good luck with the race.
Good luck on the race.
Oh, Use the vanilla cookies, as spoons you can eat, to scoop up chocolate pudding. Just like chips and dip.
"I may not be handsome, but I am loved."
Wow, eebtool's idea for those cookies is AWESOME. (see comment above mine)
Good luck and have a great race!!!
Taper thoughts.....have fun at the race and good luck!
Run on everyone.....................Steve

A. Disruptive Behavior
Disruptive situations are defined as those behaviors exhibited by customers that interfere with other customers' rights to use the library. It is the policy of the Harris County Public Library that staff members enforce library rules, policies and standards of behavior equitably among library customers.
Guidelines For Dealing with Problem Behavior
9. Any customer, as well as the personal belongings of any customer, emanating an odor (whether its cause is body odor, cologne, perfume, or anything else) constituting a nuisance to other customers may be asked to leave the library until the situation is corrected.
If complaints are received from other customers or if a member of the staff makes a reasonable complaint, notify the person in charge. The person in charge should take action only if the situation is severe enough to be considered disruptive, that is, it interferes with other customers' rights to use the library. To be a nuisance the odor should be noxious and unreasonable, not simply annoying. Discretion needs to be used when applying this policy. There must be agreement about such a customer by more than one staff person, and it is expected that instances in which it would need to be applied are very rare. Ask the opinion of another coworker and get a consensus first.
If the situation warrants it, the person in charge should approach the customer, as privately and politely as possible, identify themselves as a staff member and quietly inform them that there have been complaints about his or her odor. It's best to assume that they may not be aware of the problem. Ask them to leave the library until the problem is corrected. Say, "We have had a complaint about the smell coming from your clothing. I need to ask you to leave and come back another time after you have corrected the problem." If appropriate, offer the customer information on the local homeless shelter or another place where they can clean up. Do not direct them to the library's restrooms.
As with other situations in which a customer is asked to leave the premises, the police should be called only if the customer refuses to leave, becomes abusive, or is felt to be a danger.
B. Abusive Behavior
This includes but is not limited to fighting, yelling, loud voices, use of obscenities, rowdy behavior, verbal abuse, and other disorderly behaviors that interfere with other customers. Stay calm and do not argue.
What You Might Say At This Time:
"Have you found what you need?" "May I help you?" "You may not be aware that the sound of your voices carries and that others who are working here have complained." "Please stop running (or shoving, etc.) You may hurt yourself or others."
What You Might Say At this Time:
"You were asked to be quieter 15 minutes ago, and the noise level is still too high. Perhaps you could break up into smaller groups or continue your conversations outside. You need to be quieter or you will be asked to leave." "If you don't stop running you will be asked to leave."
"You have been given opportunities to quiet down (stop running, etc.) and have not done so. Now I have to ask you to leave the library. If you follow library rules of behavior you are welcome to return tomorrow."
C. Illegal Behavior
D. Vandalism
A parent or other person who has the duty of control and reasonable discipline of a child is liable for any property damage proximately caused by:
- a. the negligent conduct of the child if the conduct is reasonably attributable to the negligent failure of the parent or other person to exercise that duty;
Under TEX. FAM. CODE Ann. 33.02 (Vernon 1986), recovery from a parent for damaged caused by the willful and malicious conduct of a child is limited to actual damages, not to exceed $15,000 per act, plus court costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
- b. the willful and malicious conduct of a child who is at least 12 years of age but under 18 years of age
E. Unattended Children
F. Firearms and Other Deadly Weapons on Premises
On December 19, 1995 the Harris County Commissioners Court passed the following concerning firearms or other deadly weapons on county premises:

Calgary, AB (SportsNetwork.com) - Jonas Hiller turned aside all 16 shots fired his way and Sean Monahan scored twice as the Calgary Flames shut out the Carolina Hurricanes, 5-0, on Thursday.
Hiller was backed with plenty offensive support in his 22nd career shutout as Dennis Wideman, Matt Stajan and Lance Bouma all scored for Calgary, which bounced back from a 2-1 overtime loss on Tuesday to win its first home game of the season.
"To score that many goals is great," Calgary head coach Bob Hartley said. "I challenged the players before the game to win the three periods. They did it, and they did it in a great fashion."
Cam Ward allowed all five goals on 24 shots as Carolina fell to 0-4-2 on the season.
"It got away from us," Carolina head coach Bill Peters said. "There were too many freebies, too many easy goals, and too much time and space."
Wideman started the scoring with 1:42 to play in the opening stanza after slapping home a shot from the right point.
Calgary added to its lead 32 seconds into the second. Paul Byron and Stajan moved into offensive zone on a 2-on-1. Stajan took Byron's feed from the left circle and deposited the puck into the back of the net for a 2-0 lead.
Joe Colborne dished the puck to Jiri Hudler from behind the net. Hudler skated to the right circle and sent a cross-ice pass down low to Monahan, who tapped the puck into the net for his first goal of the season 4:14 into the second.
The Flames added two more goals in the third.
Monahan moved the puck from his forehand to his backhand in tight and slid the puck past Ward to make it a 4-0 game 3:23 into the stanza.
Josh Jooris fired a shot from the right boards and Bouma tapped the puck in the net to cap the scoring less than two minutes later.
Hudler finished with two assists ... Zach Boychuk played in his 100th career
game ... Calgary won its fourth straight game against Carolina ... The Flames
have won their past six home games against the Hurricanes, a streak that dates
back to the 2002-03 season.

There are basically two times when you will need to consider purchasing a furnace for your home. In the first case, you are already living in a house with a furnace that dies and needs to be replaced. In the second case, you may be building your dream home and need to choose the appropriate heating system for it. Because buying a furnace is a significant and expensive proposition, it is important that you learn how to choose the best furnace from among the numerous possibilities. This is your opportunity to personally pick the best unit for your specific heating needs.
There are countless heating supply companies in the market who want to sell you your new furnace. Companies such as Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Bryant, Rheem, Heil, and Coleman are just a few of the well-established businesses in this field. Learning how to choose the best furnace can be a real asset at this point. Most companies claim efficiency ratings of 80% – 97%. Some also offer optional features such as humidifiers, specialty filters and variable speeds. Within the furnace world there is also the matter of how the heating unit will be fueled. Electric furnaces; those with gas or oil burners; and coal, wood, or pellet indoor and outdoor heating units offer a broad, if not over-whelming, choice for the new buyer.
The recent surge in sales of outdoor wood furnaces has sparked interest on many sides. If you are still concerned with how to choose the best furnace, you will also want to consider this possibility, but only if you have a free or cheap and readily obtainable supply of wood or pellets.
Just like an indoor furnace, firewood heats warm water which is carried to the house via insulated underground water pipes.
The process is safe and can be economical. On the other hand, there is some concern that the emissions from outdoor furnaces are 20 times higher and may lead to respiratory and lung infections for those people living nearby.
If you choose a more traditional furnace, you are going to need to buy disposable filters or the newer replaceable ones.
BoAir sells a 5-Stage filter that has a lifetime warranty for about $75.00. It claims to reduce dust and allergens. Buying a furnace is an expensive investment. Knowing how to choose the right furnace by taking the time to research the matter thoroughly will help you make a good choice for years of satisfaction.

The fan frenzy got a lot more frenzied on Wednesday when Peter Facinelli, aka Dr. Carlisle Cullen, made a house call to the L.A. Live entertainment complex, where more than a thousand Twi-hards have been camping out in anticipation of the big Eclipse premiere.
E! Online will be livestreaming from the red carpet tonight starting at 5 p.m. PT/ 8 p.m ET!
"I just want to get out there and sign as many autographs as I can," the actor told E! News about his appearance at Twilight tent city with costars Jackson Rathbone, Julia Jones and Billy Burke. "The fans have been out here for three days and I want it to be worthwhile for them."
Speaking of tents, Peter admits to not necessarily wanting to sleep in one, but that he does have an RV.
"Maybe I should park my RV and camp out tonight," he said.
Something tells us there's more than a few folks who'd be OK with that.

|The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on neuroregeneration following acute thoracic spinal cord injury.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22227476 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|AIMS: Although hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment following spinal cord injury (SCI) have been studied in terms of neurological function and tissue histology, there is a limited number studies on spinal cord tissue enzyme levels. MAIN METHODS: The effect of HBO treatment in SCI was investigated by measuring superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and nitric oxide (NO) activity in the injured tissue. SCI was induced by applying an aneurysm clip extradurally at the level of T9-T11 vertebrae. Preoperative HBO (preopHBO) treatment was applied for 5days and postoperative HBO (postopHBO) for 7days. KEY FINDINGS: In the preopHBO group, a significant decrease was observed in NOS and NO compared to the SCI group. There was a decrease in SOD, NOS and NO in the postopHBO group when compared to the SCI group. In the pre-postHBO group SOD, GPx, NOS and NO decreased significantly. There was a decrease in SOD in postopHBO compared to preopHBO. In the prepostopHBO, SOD decreased significantly compared to that in the preopHBO group. The prepostopHBO presented a significant decrease in GPx compared to postopHBO (p<0.05 for all parameters). No significant difference was observed for catalase for all groups. Significant improvement was found in BBB scores for both postopHBO and prepostHBO groups when compared to the SCI group (p<0.05). SIGNIFICANCE: HBO treatment was found to be beneficial following SCI in terms of biochemical parameters and functional recovery in the postoperative period.

I made a muslin and it looked ok but now in the "real" fabric it is not working.....
This is the first time that I've done a fba on this type of top and Ive added a side dart into the front as well. I think it will look a touch better with the skirt added as it will add weight to the top but still will leave some bulging between the waist dart and the side dart area (ie between the breast and the side seam)
The side with the arrows is one I have made the side dart a bit longer which has helped a little but it still isn't right.
Can I correct this (how??) or do I need to start from scratch and recut with a smaller fba? (Needed to increase from a "b" to a "c" cup as I found the muslin originally pulled across too much across the front.)
And is the waist dart (which is from the original pattern) in the wrong position as well? The top arrow points to a pin which mark the middle of my breast.
Any suggestions welcome
Can you please check the settings to see if they are marked private? Instead of seeing the picture I get a log in screan.

I'm also unable to view the photo...
Sorry Im not very flickr friendly..have fixed
Maybe part of the waist dart problem is that Ive graded out for the waist and put the dart in the waist size position where as the top of the bodice is smaller to fit my (scrawny as my DH calls it) chest) so the waist darts do need to be moved over a bit as part of the 'fix'
I have double checked my measurements and I have done the FBA to the right distance according to these. -- Edited on 4/6/12 5:52 PM --
First, has this been pressed over a ham? Bumps like that often disappear with a good pressing.
Second, the darts are too long and don't quite point to the right spot.
I would try pressing first to see if that takes out the bulging, and if it doesn't, then change the darts by moving the points further from the bust point, perhaps about 2 cm or so. Sometimes, curving the dart to follow your own contours more closely is just the right thing to do. Just because the dart is straight on the pattern doesn't mean that is how it should be sewn in order fot=r the garment to fit you.
The waist dart will also look better if you contour it. There were a couple discussions about this a few years ago. Try searching s-darts or s dart or variations of it. I can't recall exactly what the search term was that got to the thread with a drawing showing the shaping of a waist dart. There was an article in threads a few years ago, too, but I can't recall which issue it was. Basically, you can change any straight dart to a curved dart to get the shaping to follow your body.
No hasn't been pressed over a ham. I've been meaning to buy one now that I've started sewing for myself it is worthwhile investing in one.
The dart that is too long -do you mean the ones up from the waist?
I was thinking of contouring it so thanks for that advice.
One of my daughters always needed a shaped waist dart to take care of that bulging effect - on her it needed to come in quite sharply near the top, like the front end of a large boat, then straighten out over the waist area.
Like this dart?dart
Oh, you absolutely need a ham! A seam roll is good to have as well, but you should definitely get a ham. The ones they sell these days are a lot smaller than the one I bought when I started sewing decades ago. It's the curved shape and the firm pressing surface that you need to shape your garment during construction. You could try making one, but it is not easy to stuff the sawdust in firmly enough to get a hard enough surface for pressing. You could jury-rig something with a stuffed animal or a firm pillow, though be sure to protect the surface with some fabric that can withstand the heat of the iron and steam.
Dart length: The larger busted you are, the shorter the darts should be. I meant both darts looked long, or too close to the bust point. Without having the garment pressed, it is hard to say for sure, since the unpressed fabric is not lying smoothly on your body. They might actually be fine the way they are once they are pressed. I do think the shaping of the waist dart to take out the underbust looseness would make the bodice fit more flattering, closer fit for you, but you might like it looser. That's a matter of preference.
Good luck!
Fictionfan, I've earmarked a collection of dart threads, here is how to find them...
In the Search Board function, search these words together with no space in between
dart thread (remember to leave out the space)
search in messages
leave the name of the poster blank
Maybe you are looking for something like the Shaped Basic Dart link that will pop up in the Darts for Shaping Thread. The search above will pull that up within the select group.
I bumped this thread, Miscellaneous > Message Searches, Bumping Threads. It explains the earmarked searches and includes a list of search categories.

It's just a very simple unit made to constantly monitor the temperature of the coolant in your Gmc , although the coolant temperature sensor is actually a vital unit that works side by side several other systems in your ride. The fuel supply assembly, the motor cooling unit, plus the exhaust system are just some of the assemblies whose functionality greatly hinges on the input provided by the Gmc coolant temperature sensor.
Anytime you operate any automobile and crank its motor, too much heat is generated - good thing you have the coolant to collect this heat for dissipation. The coolant temp has to be constantly checked, and the coolant temperature sensors are the devices provided with this chore - they deliver the data to your Gmc powertrain module, which subsequently manages different assemblies based on the information that it obtains. The power control unit bases everything that it does on the data that the coolant temperature sensor provides - i.e. it creates a high-fuel mix when you encounter engine cranking during cold weathers and drives the fan in the engine whenever the coolant temperature escalates. Such modes of control are crucial to the entire performance of the engine, thus the coolant temp sensor you choose needs to be certainly reliable, able to supply precise data to the module all the time; or else, drivability troubles might occur.
Keep your car motor in prime condition with a high-quality Gmc coolant temperature sensor offered by Parts Train - we have been offering hard-to-find auto and truck parts since 1995 and all our featured components are top in quality. Our available parts are supplied by respected names today including APA URO Parts, Lucas, and SWF.

GREEN WELL OUT IN COMMISSION RACE, BOTH PROPOSITIONS PASSING; Perry declared victor in governor race
SAN ANGELO, Texas - With early voting, ballots by mail and 22 of 70 precincts — 31 percent of the live vote — counted from Tuesday's election day voting, Republican Yantis Green held a nearly unbridgable lead over Democrat Johnny Silvas in the contest for Precinct 4 of the Tom Green County Commission.
The Republican led with 4,004 to Silvas' 1,108.
The "for" side on both City of San Angelo propositions — to ban smoking in public places and to eliminate the sunset clause on the half-cent sales tax — held strong leads with early votes plus 16 live precincts unofficially counted.

It might be a good idea to reconsider the speed trap at the Lake Champlain bridge. Not only is it a poor welcome to Vermont, but it does not reflect the warmth or spirit of its residents and businesses.
Although the sheriff may be pleased with stopping dozens of people in one day the week before Christmas, revenue collected through fines means less money is spent at local businesses. Any plans for Christmas shopping in Vergennes or for stopping at The Bridge Restaurant change immediately once a ticket with a hefty fine has been issued.

MIDDLEBURY — About three years after the old Champlain Bridge was closed due to safety concerns, workers will soon begin the final phase of work on the new Lake Champlain Bridge project.
That work will involve upgrades to property on the Vermont side of the span to include construction of a new boat launch, two gravel parking lots and walking paths with interpretive signs.
Crowds turned out to watch the Champlain Bridge Grand Parade on May 19, but for some in the crowd, this wasn't the first time.
Art Clifford of Starksboro was just a boy in 1929, but he traveled over to Addison with his family to watch the festivities that opened up the first Champlain Bridge. He was one of the '29ers who attended this year, and he sat down with Robinson Elementary School students to chat about what life was like back in 1929.
Crowds turned out to celebrate the opening of the new Champlain Bridge over the weekend of May 19. The bridge opened to traffic in the late fall of 2011, two years after the old bridge was closed down due to safety concerns. The bridge reconnected a link between Vermont and New York
The parade mimicked many elements the original opening parade in 1929, which was attended by then New York Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
WEST ADDISON — Around 10,000 people are expected to converge upon the new Lake Champlain Bridge this weekend for a celebration marking the restoration of the vital transportation link between Crown Point, N.Y., and Addison.
A group known as the Lake Champlain Bridge Community (LCBC) has spent many months planning the May 19-20 festivities, which will include a parade, entertainment, vendors and a fireworks display.
The Champlain Bridge opened to traffic on Monday, November 7, once again connecting Crown Point, N.Y. and West Addison, Vt. Throngs of people turned out to watch the inauguration of the new bridge, which was built in 21 months after the old bridge was deemed unsafe. Commuters and local business owners alike heralded the return of the bridge, which serves as a vital economic link between the two states.

ADDISON, Vt. / CROWN POINT, N.Y. — The new Lake Champlain Bridge was inaugurated on Monday with the promise that it would serve as a vital transportation link between Vermont and New York for at least the next three-quarters of a century.
WEST ADDISON — A legion of dignitaries and hundreds of residents from both sides of Lake Champlain marked the much-anticipated opening of the new Champlain Bridge on Monday afternoon.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and state Rep. Diane Lanpher, D-Vergennes, were among the Vermont delegates who helped cut the ribbon on the $76 million bridge that was two years in the making. The former Champlain Bridge, build in 1929, was abruptly closed on Oct. 16, 2009, after it was deemed to be unsafe for travel.
WEST ADDISON — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office has confirmed that the new Champlain Bridge connecting West Addison to Crown Point, N.Y., will be officially opened on Monday, Nov. 7, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2:30 p.m., on the Crown Point side.
Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin and New York Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy are scheduled to be among those attending the festivities.
ADDISON — After close to two years of separation, the shores of Crown Point, N.Y., and Addison, Vt., were once more connected last Friday when the center arch of the new Lake Champlain bridge was set in place.
And while there's still a lot more work to be done before the bridge is completed, for the crowds that turned out to watch, the connection between the two states was a symbolic moment.

This is a better option than email, because you will be able to ask different questions and you will be receiving the answers immediately.
Phone service is the second best option because you will have more interaction compared to chat service.

In the mid 1980s when he was still chairman of Nationwide Insurance, Frank Sollars started working on an estate plan to pass on the farm to his five children. He wanted to make sure his family was taken care of and the process made as simple as possible.
Good public policy will allow Ohio farmers to continue provide safe, local foods and proper care for their animals.
Ohios turfgrass industry is growing, providing billions of dollars in economic output for the state, according to a recently released study.
