Part I
Solution Architect: "But you can use patterns"
Dumb Developer: "Yes, But can I get it as an ActiveX control?"
Introduction To This Article
This article is expected to
- Introduce patterns to you in a simple, human readable (?) way
- Train you how to really 'Apply' patterns (you can learn patterns easily, but to apply them to solve a problem, you need real design skills)
- Provide you a fair idea regarding the contexts for applying the following patterns - Builder, Observer, Strategy and Decorator (well, they are few popular design patterns)
- Demonstrate you how to apply the Observer pattern, to solve a design problem
In this entire article, you will go through the following steps
- You will model a very simple football game engine
- You will identify the design problems in your football game engine
- You will decide which patterns to use for solving your design problems
- You will then actually use the observer pattern, to solve one of your design problem.
As a prerequisite
- You may need to get some grip on reading and understanding UML diagrams
Using The Code
- The related zip file includes the code, UML designs (in Visio format) etc. After reading this article, you may download and extract the zip file - using a program like Winzip - to play with the source code.
An Overview Of Design Patterns
Even with out much knowledge about design patterns, designers and developers tend to reuse class relationships and object collaborations to simplify the design process. In short, "A Design pattern consists of various co-operating objects (classes, relationships etc)". They provide solutions for common design problems. More than anything else, they offer a consistent idiom for designers and programmers to speak about their design. For example, you can tell a friend that you used a 'Builder' pattern for addressing some design specifications in your project.
A consistent classification of patterns for common design problems are provided by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides [also known as the Gang of Four (GOF)]. The Gang of Four (GOF) patterns are generally considered the foundation for all other patterns.
The basic principle of using patterns is reusability. Once a problem is address some way, you are not really expected to re-invent the wheel if you properly understand the concept of pattern centric software engineering. Here are some important points to remember about design patterns.
- A Design Pattern is not code. It is in fact an approach or a model that can be used to solve a problem.
- Design Patterns are about design and interaction of objects and they provide reusable solutions for solving common design problems.
- A Design Pattern is normally represented with the help of a UML diagram.
Some real hands on experience with patterns may provide you a better idea!!
Architecting Your (Simple) Football Engine
You are working with a popular computer game developing company, and they made you the Solution Architect of one of their major projects - a Soccer (Football) Game Engine (Nice, huh?). Now, you are leading the process of designing the entire Football game engine, and suddenly you have a lot of design considerations, straight away. Let us see
- How you identify the entities in your game system,
- How you identify the design problems, and
- How you apply patterns to address your design specifications.
Identifying Entities
First of all, you need to identify the objects you use in your game engine. For this, you should visualize how the end user is going to use the system. Let us assume that the end user is going to operate the game in the following sequence (let us keep things simple).
- Start the game
- Select two teams
- Add or remove players to/from a team
- Pick a play ground
- Start the game
Your system may have a number of PlayGrounds in it, a number of Teams etc. To list a few real world objects in the system, you have
- Player who play the soccer
- Team with various players in it
- Ball which is handled by various players.
- PlayGround where the match takes place.
- Referee in the ground to control the game.
Also, you may need some logical objects in your game engine, like
- Game which defines a football game, which constitutes teams, ball, referee, playground etc
- GameEngine to simulate a number of games at a time.
- TeamStrategy to decide a team's strategy while playing
So, here is a very abstract view of the system. The boxes represent classes in your system, and the connectors depicts 'has' relationships and their multiplicity. The arrow head represents the direction of reading. I.e, a GameEngine has (can simulate) Games. A Game has (consists of) three referees, one ball, two teams, and one ground. A team can have multiple players, and one strategy at a time.
Fig 1 - High level view
Identifying Design Problems
Now, you should decide
- How these objects are structured
- How they are created
- Their behavior when they interact each other, to formulate the design specifications.
First of all, you have to write down a minimum description of your soccer engine, to identify the design problems. For example, here are few design problems related to some of the objects we identified earlier.
- Ball
- When the position of a ball changes, all the players and the referee should be notified straight away.
- Team and TeamStrategy
- When the game is in progress, the end user can change the strategy of his team (E.g., From Attack to Defend)
- Player
- A player in a team should have additional responsibilities, like Forward, Defender etc, that can be assigned during the runtime.
- PlayGround
- Each ground constitutes of gallery, ground surface, audience, etc - and each ground has a different appearance.
So now, let us see how to identify the patterns, to address these design problems.
Identifying Patterns To Use
Have a look at the design problems you identified above (yes, do it once more). Now, let us see how to address these problems using design patterns.
1: Addressing the design problems related with the 'Ball'
First of all, take the specifications related to the ball. You need to design a framework such that when the state (position) of the ball is changed, all the players and the referee are notified regarding the new state (position) of the ball. Now, let us generalize the problem
Specific Design Problem: "When the position of a ball changes, all the players and the referee should be notified straight away."
Problem Generalized: "When a subject (in this case, the ball) changes, all its dependents (in this case, the players) are notified and updated automatically."
Once you have such a design problem, you refer the GOF patterns - and suddenly you may find out that you can apply the 'Observer' pattern to solve the problem.
|Observer Pattern: Define a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically.
In this case, we used this pattern because we need to notify all the players, when the position of the ball is changed.
2: Addressing the design problems related with 'Team' And 'TeamStrategy'
Next, we have to address the specifications related to the team and team strategy. As we discussed earlier, when the game is in progress, the end user can change the strategy of his team (E.g., From Attack to Defend). This clearly means that we need to separate the Team's Strategy from the Team that uses it.
Specific Design Problem: "When the game is in progress, the end user can change the strategy of his team (E.g., From Attack to Defend)"
Problem Generalized: "We need to let the algorithm (TeamStrategy) vary independently from clients (in this case, the Team) that use it."
Then, you can chose the 'Strategy' pattern to address the above design problem.
|Strategy Pattern: Define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it.
3: Addressing the design problems related with 'Player'
Now, let us address the design specifications related to the player. From our problem definition, it is clear that we need to assign responsibilities (like forward, defender etc) to each player during run time. At this point, you can think about sub classing (i.e, inheritance) - by creating a player class, and then inheriting classes like Forward, Defender etc from the base class. But the disadvantage is that, when you do sub classing, you cannot separate the responsibility of an object from its implementation.
I.e, In our case, sub classing is not the suitable method, because we need to separate the responsibilities like 'Forward', 'Midfielder', 'Defender' etc from the Player implementation. Because, a player can be a 'Forward' one time, and some other time, the same player can be a 'Midfielder'.
Specific Design Problem: "A player in a team should have additional responsibilities, like Forward, Defender etc, that can be assigned during the runtime."
Problem Generalized: "We need to attach additional responsibilities (like Forward, Midfielder etc) to the object (In this case, the Player) dynamically, with out using sub classing"
Then, you can chose the 'Decorator' pattern to address the above design problem.
|Decorator Pattern: Attach additional responsibilities to an object dynamically. Decorators provide a flexible alternative to sub classing for extending functionality
4: Addressing the design problems related with 'PlayGround'
If you take a look at the specifications of Ground, we see that a ground's appearance is decided by various sub units like gallery, surface of the ground, audience etc. The appearance of the ground may vary, according to these sub units. Hence, we need to construct the ground in such a way that, the construction of the ground can create different representations of the ground. I.e, a ground in Italy may have different gallery structure and surface when compared to a ground in England. But, the game engine may create both these grounds by calling the same set of functions.
Specific Design Problem: "Each ground constitutes of gallery, ground surface, audience, etc - and each ground has a different appearance."
Problem Generalized: "We need to separate the construction of an object (ground) from its representation (the appearance of the ground) and we need to use the same construction process to create different representations."
|Builder Pattern: Separate the construction of a complex object from its representation so that the same construction process can create different representations.
Now, you can chose the 'Builder' pattern to address the above design problem.
Part II
Solution Architect: "I asked you to learn about patterns"
Dumb Developer: "Yes, now I can develop a football engine using patterns"
Solution Architect: "Huh? What do you mean? !@@#!"
Applying Observer Pattern
In this section, we will have a closer look at the observer pattern, and then we will apply the pattern to solve our first design problem. If you can remember, our first design problem was,
- "When the position of a ball changes, all the players should be notified straight away."
Understanding the Observer Pattern
The UML class diagram of the observer pattern is shown below.
Fig 2 - Observer Pattern
The participants of the pattern are detailed below.
- Subject
This class provides an interface for attaching and detaching observers. Subject class also holds a private list of observers. Functions in Subject class are
- Attach - To add a new observer to the list of observers observing the subject
- Detach - To remove an observer from the list of observers observing the subject
- Notify- To notify each observer by calling the
Updatefunction in the observer, when a change occurs.
- ConcreteSubject
This class provides the state of interest to observers. It also sends a notification to all observers, by calling the Notify function in its super class (i.e, in the Subject class). Functions in
ConcreteSubjectclass are
- GetState - Returns the state of the subject
- Observer
This class defines an updating interface for all observers, to receive update notification from the subject. The Observer class is used as an abstract class to implement concrete observers
- Update - This function is an abstract function, and concrete observers will over ride this function
- ConcreteObserver
This class maintains a reference with the subject, to receive the state of the subject when a notification is received.
- Update - This is the overridden function in the concrete class. When this function is called by the subject, the
ConcreteObservercalls the
GetStatefunction of the subject to update the information it have about the subject's state.
- Update - This is the overridden function in the concrete class. When this function is called by the subject, the
Adapting the Observer Pattern
Now, let us see how this pattern can be adapted to solve our specific problem. This will give you a better idea.
Fig 3 - Solving Our First Design Problem
When we call the
SetBallPosition function of the ball to set the new position, it inturn calls the
Notify function defined in the Ball class. The Notify function iterates all observers in the list, and invokes the
Update function in each of them. When the Update function is invoked, the observers will obtain the new state position of the ball, by calling the
GetBallPosition function in the Foot ball class.
The participants are detailed below.
Ball (Subject)
The implementation of Ball class is shown below.
' Subject : The Ball Class
Public Class Ball
'A private list of observers
Private observers As new System.Collections.ArrayList
'Routine to attach an observer
Public Sub AttachObserver(ByVal obj As IObserver)
End Sub
'Routine to remove an observer
Public Sub DetachObserver(ByVal obj As IObserver)
End Sub
'Routine to notify all observers
Public Sub NotifyObservers()
Dim o As IObserver
For Each o In observers
End Sub
End Class ' END CLASS DEFINITION Ball
FootBall (ConcreteSubject)
The implementation of FootBall class is shown below.
' ConcreteSubject : The FootBall Class
Public Class FootBall
Inherits Ball
'State: The position of the ball
Private myPosition As Position
'This function will be called by observers to get current position
Public Function GetBallPosition() As Position
Return myPosition
End Function
'Some external client will call this to set the ball's position
Public Function SetBallPosition(ByVal p As Position)
myPosition = p
'Once the position is updated, we have to notify observers
End Function
'Remarks: This can also be implemented as a get/set property
End Class ' END CLASS DEFINITION FootBall
IObserver (Observer)
The implementation of
IObserver class is shown below. This class provides interface specifications for creating Concrete Observers.
' Observer: The IObserver Class
'This class is an abstract (MustInherit) class
Public MustInherit Class IObserver
'This method is a mustoverride method
Public MustOverride Sub Update()
End Class ' END CLASS DEFINITION IObserver
Player (ConcreteObserver)
The implementation of Player class is shown below. Player is inherited from
IObserver class
' ConcreteObserver: The Player Class
'Player inherits from IObserver, and overrides Update method
Public Class Player
Inherits IObserver
'This variable holds the current state(position) of the ball
Private ballPosition As Position
'A variable to store the name of the player
Private myName As String
'This is a pointer to the ball in the system
Private ball As FootBall
'Update() is called from Notify function, in Ball class
Public Overrides Sub Update ()
ballPosition = ball.GetBallPosition()
System.Console.WriteLine("Player {0} say that the ball is at {1},{2},{3} ", _
myName, ballPosition.X, ballPosition.Y, ballPosition.Z)
End Sub
'A constructor which allows creating a reference to a ball
Public Sub New(ByRef b As FootBall, ByVal playerName As String)
ball = b
myName = playerName
End Sub
End Class ' END CLASS DEFINITION Player
Referee (ConcreteObserver)
The implementation of Referee class is shown below. Referee is also inherited from
IObserver class
' ConcreteObserver : The Referee Clas
Public Class Referee
Inherits IObserver
'This variable holds the current state(position) of the ball
Private ballPosition As Position
'This is a pointer to the ball in the system
Private ball As FootBall
'A variable to store the name of the referee
Private myName As String
'Update() is called from Notify function in Ball class
Public Overrides Sub Update()
ballPosition = ball.GetBallPosition()
System.Console.WriteLine("Referee {0} say that the ball is at {1},{2},{3} ", _
myName, ballPosition.X, ballPosition.Y, ballPosition.Z)
End Sub
'A constructor which allows creating a reference to a ball
Public Sub New(ByRef b As FootBall, ByVal refereeName As String)
myName = refereeName
ball = b
End Sub
End Class ' END CLASS DEFINITION Referee
Position Class
Also, we have a position class, to hold the position of the ball.
'Position: This is a data structure to hold the position of the ball
Public Class Position
Public X As Integer
Public Y As Integer
Public Z As Integer
'This is the constructor
Public Sub New(Optional ByVal x As Integer = 0, _
Optional ByVal y As Integer = 0, _
Optional ByVal z As Integer = 0)
Me.X = x
Me.Y = y
Me.Z = Z
End Sub
End Class ' END CLASS DEFINITION Position
Putting It All Together
Now, let us create a ball and few observers. We will also attach these observers to the ball, so that they are notified automatically when the position of the ball changes. The code is pretty self explanatory.
'Let us create a ball and few observers
Public Class GameEngine
Public Shared Sub Main()
'Create our ball (i.e, the ConcreteSubject)
Dim ball As New FootBall()
'Create few players (i.e, ConcreteObservers)
Dim Owen As New Player(ball, "Owen")
Dim Ronaldo As New Player(ball, "Ronaldo")
Dim Rivaldo As New Player(ball, "Rivaldo")
'Create few referees (i.e, ConcreteObservers)
Dim Mike As New Referee(ball, "Mike")
Dim John As New Referee(ball, "John")
'Attach the observers with the ball
System.Console.WriteLine("After attaching the observers...")
'Update the position of the ball.
'At this point, all the observers should be notified automatically
ball.SetBallPosition(New Position())
'Just write a blank line
'Remove some observers
System.Console.WriteLine("After detaching Owen and John...")
'Updating the position of ball again
'At this point, all the observers should be notified automatically
ball.SetBallPosition(New Position(10, 10, 30))
'Press any key to continue..
End Sub
End Class
Running the project
After running the project, you'll get the output as
Patterns can be classified
- With respect to purpose.
- With respect to scope.
With respect to purpose, patterns are classified to Creational, Structural and Behavioral. For example,
- The Observer pattern we just learned is a behavioral pattern (because it help us model the behavior and interactions of objects)
- The Builder pattern is a creational pattern (because it details how an object can be created in a particular way) and so on.
Here is the complete classification diagram.
I hope this article
- May help you to understand how to use design patterns.
- May help you some way to apply patterns in your projects
- May help you to give a brief talk about patterns to your friends :)

Forget the Champagne: Alta Ski Resort will celebrate 75 years of skiing with its own anniversary beer.
The first batch of Alta's 75th Anniversary Ale, produced by Wasatch Brewery, was bottled and packaged last week. Initially, the beer will be available at Wasatch's Beer Store, 1763 S. 300 West, Salt Lake City. However, in a few weeks it should be available in local grocery stores. And then when there's enough snow to open the resort, it also will be available at the Alta.
The beer, which is 4 percent alcohol by volume (that's 3.2 by weight), costs $7.99 for a six-pack. It's also available by the case and on draft.
Dan Burick, Wasatch's head brewer, said the deep-colored Anniversary Ale is a "steep and deep" dry-hopped pale that was brewed with rich caramel and pale malts, balanced with Falconers Flight hops from the Pacific Northwest. "We do new beers all the time," Burick said, "but it's been really cool to pair up with Alta because it's not something they do and they really got charged up about it."
Of course, beer and other spirits are part of Alta's long history, said Connie Marshall, the resort's director of marketing. In 1878, there were 26 saloons in the rugged mining community, Marshall said. Records show that there were also 19 other businesses in town, including restaurants, billiard halls and a general store that carried everything from liquor to dynamite.

The World Heritage Committee has expressed the need to have a more balanced World Heritage List, which should be representative of the diversity of the world natural and cultural heritage. Within this context and as a follow up of the Regional Seminar on Desert Landscapes organized in Egypt (Kharga Oasis, September 2001), which underlined the strong potential of desert sites for inclusion in the List, the World Heritage Centre would like to propose an activity concerning the site of Jebel Ouenat. Jebel Ouenat is located at the border between Egypt, Libya and Sudan and is an extremely important cultural and natural trans-boundary site for its geological interest and its prehistoric rock carving.
to identify the potential World Heritage values and boundaries of the site and to discuss the possibilities of its management and conservation system by bringing together specialists from the three concerned countries, i.e. Libya, Egypt and Sudan. The workshop will include the analysis of the legal and administrative framework and the definition of the long-term objectives of a management and conservation plan, which could lead to a future joint transboundary nomination of the site of Jebel Owenat to the World Heritage List. There are no sites of this kind in the Arab Region.

Ray Lewis' long and storied NFL career is coming to an end.
The Baltimore Ravens linebacker informed teammates and coaches Wednesday that Sunday's playoff meeting with the Indianapolis Colts will mark his final game at M&T Bank Stadium, and he will retire at the end of the season.
"This will be my last ride," Lewis said.
The seven-time All-Pro and 12-time Pro Bowl selection didn't say if he would play Sunday, but Lewis confirmed he's physically ready to take the field. Lewis was activated late last month, but he hasn't played in a game since he tore his triceps during a Week 6 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
NFL.com's Albert Breer cited two sources who were in the room in reporting that Lewis addressed his Ravens teammates Wednesday. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and MVP of Super Bowl XXXV rose to his feet and spoke about playing for one other and the bond between teammates before announcing his plans to retire.
"Unreal. Very inspiring. There's no one like him, man," one observer texted Breer.
"I can't picture Baltimore without him," running back Ray Rice later said.
Linebacker Terrell Suggs added: "It's amazing and it's sad all at the same time."
With 227 starts since being drafted by the Ravens in the first round of the 1996 NFL Draft, Lewis is the beating heart of this organization and its most vocal in Baltimore's quest to return to the Super Bowl.
"Everything I've done is to make another run at the Lombardi," Lewis said Wednesday.
His final chance -- and our last look at this future Hall of Famer -- begins Sunday.

A week or so ago, I was asked to participate in a "Trivia Contest". This was a unique contest as it was to be part of a Scouting Podcast called The Leaders Campfire, hosted by Cubmaster Chris and his sidekick Scoutmaster Steve.
Steve played the role of "Game Show host" and the contestants were, Shawn (Commissioner's Corner), Chris (Leaders Campfire), a fellow names Michael who is a Scout leader in New Zealand, and me.
The game was based on knowledge gained from the 1986 Boy Scout Handbook. Now I thought I had this licked as I remember most of what I was taught as a Scout in the 80's. But as the game progressed the chap from New Zealand pulled ahead with amazing aptitude about the Boy Scouts of America.
There were categories such as Scout craft/skills, citizenship, and communications, and more.
We got to a question in the citizenship category that asked what our National Mammal was?
Michael shouted his name and answered…"THE BUFFALO"!
But here is an interesting side note about our National Mammal as it pertains to Scouting.
I am sure you all know about our Nations Highest Scouting recognition.. the SILVER BUFFALO award.
But did you know that in Gilwell Park, just outside of London, The Buffalo Lawn is so called because of the replica of the Silver Buffalo award that was presented to the Boy Scout Association by the BSA in 1926. This was to honor the Unknown Scout that helped William D. Boyce bring Scouting to the United States. The Buffalo Statue was originally mounted on a large tree stump. The stump has been replaced by a brick pedestal. The inscription reads: "To an Unknown Scout Whose Faithfulness in the Performance of the Daily Good Turn Brought the Scout Movement to the United States of America." The First presentation of the Silver Buffalo award was in 1926, the same year the statue was presented to Gilwell. And not so oddly enough it was presented to Lord Robert S.S. Baden Powell, founder of the Scouting Movement and Chief Scout of the World.
Since then the Silver Buffalo has been presented annually. As of 2008 674 men and women that have made noteworthy and extraordinary service to youth on a national basis, either as part of or independent of the Scouting program have received the Silver Buffalo award. 13 of which have been Presidents of the United States. The First President to be presented the award was William Howard Taft in 1927. Of note, that same year Brother Barnabas McDonald, the founder of the Columbian Squires of the Knights of Columbus also received the Silver Buffalo.
The Award is representative of all that is good in America. The buffalo, a strong animal that is far ranging and able to withstand harsh weather and adapts to changing conditions. This is as American an animal as we can get.
So what's up with the Buffalo? It's the Boy Scouts of America's highest recognition, but it is as world wide as Scouting itself.
I learned a lot playing our little trivia game, there is so much neat stuff to know and pass on in Scouting. Aside from first aid and knot tying, there is much that we can learn and share.

Pattern Play: Halter Dress
Stitch a flirty, beach-friendly halter dress by making simple alterations to a basic dress pattern.
Tip: For a playful look, mix two coordinating prints for the dress and neckline sections.
Cut out the pattern pieces.
Before beginning the alterations, pin-fit or make a muslin fitting sample of the selected pattern.
Make any necessary fit adjustments to the pattern, and then trace a copy on paper, transferring all markings.
Determine how much additional length to add to the dress hemline, if desired. Align a ruler with the front pattern side seam at the lower edge, and then draw a line to the desired length, continuing at the same angle as the original side seam. Repeat to lengthen the back pattern the same amount.
Measure from your upper-shoulder point to below your bust. Mark this length on the front pattern, and then draw a horizontal line across the pattern at the mark. Draw a second horizontal line 2" below the first line. Repeat to mark the under-bustlines on the back pattern (1).
Determine how much to lower the pattern neckline; mark this point along the center front. Determine the shoulder strap location; mark along the front shoulder line (2).
Lightly draw a line connecting the two marks. Using a curved ruler, alter the connecting line to create a gently curved neckline. Experiment with the curve shape until the desired look is achieved, and then trace over the neckline in pen or marker. Draw a second line 1 1/2" from and parallel to the neckline and center front (3).
Draw a vertical line from the front waist-dart lower apex to the lower edge. Repeat to mark a vertical line on the back pattern from the waist dart to the lower edge. Cut the front and back patterns along the marked lines (4).
Align the front halter with the front bodice. On the front bodice, draw a gently curving line from the side seam just below the armseye to the neckline. Mark a notch where this line meets the halter (5). Cut along the line.
Extend the bust dart upper line to meet the center front (6). Cut along the line from the center front to the dart apex. Fold out the dart, transferring the fullness toward the center front (7).
Position paper under the gap created by the closed dart; tape (8). Make a note that the filled-in area will be gathered during construction.
Fold out the dart excess on the front and back waistband patterns; tape (9).
Align the front and back bodice patterns along the side seam. Mark the back-bodice side seam where it meets the front-bodice side seam upper edge (10).
Draw a gently curved line connecting the back-bodice side seam mark to the center back (11). Cut along the line. Ignore the back waist dart; instead, remove the dart width amount from the back side seam.
Measure the length needed to extend the shoulder strap to meet the back upper edge. Lengthen the front shoulder strap to this measurement (12).
To widen to the front skirt sweep, add approximately 1 1/2" tapered to zero, to the center-front skirt panel vertical seamline at the lower edge. Repeat to add 1 1/2" to the side skirt-panel seamline. Repeat to widen the back skirt sweep (13).
From the fabric, cut two front bodices, two halter/shoulder strap pairs, one front waistband on the fold, one center-front skirt panel on the fold, two side-front skirt panels, two back bodices, two back waistbands, two center-back skirt panels, and two side-back skirt panels.
With right sides together, stitch the side-front skirt panels to the center-front panel; press open the seam.
With right sides together, stitch the front waistband to the front-skirt upper edge; press open the seam.
Set the machine to a 4mm-long stitch. Stitch two rows along one front-bodice center-front edge using a 1/4" seam allowance. Repeat to stitch the remaining front-bodice center-front edge. Pull the thread tails to slightly gather the stitched edges.
With right sides together, position one left halter along the left bodice center-front edge; stitch. Repeat to stitch one right halter to the right bodice. With right side together, stitch the bodice center-front seam.
With right sides together, stitch the front bodice to the front skirt.
With right sides together, stitch the left side-back skirt panel to the left center-back skirt panel; press open the seam. Repeat to stitch the right side-back skirt panel to the right center-back skirt panel.
With right sides together, stitch one back waistband to each back skirt-panel upper edge. Stitch the left-back bodice to the left-back skirt upper edge, and then repeat to stitch the right-back bodice to the right-back skirt.
When stitching the center-back seam, install the center-back zipper following the zipper manufacturer's instructions.
With right sides together, stitch the side seams; press open.
Measure the left-front and back bodice upper edge, and then add 1 1/4"; record. Cut two fabric strips 1 1/2"x the recorded measurement for the upper-edge facing.
Rip out a few of the uppermost stitches along the left bodice/halter seam. With right sides together, position one facing strip along the front- and back-bodice upper edge; pin, and then stitch, using a 1/4" seam allowance.
Fold the facing long raw edge 1/4" toward the wrong side; press. Fold the facing toward the dress wrong side; press, and then pin. Topstitch the facing 1/2" from the edge. Restitch the bodice/halter seam. Repeat to attach the remaining facing to the right-bodice upper edge.
With right sides together, stitch the remaining halter pair along the center-front seam to create a halter facing.
With right sides together, align the halter facing with the dress halter. Stitch the entire upper edge, and then stitch the lower edge only along the strap portion. Turn the straps right side out and the facing toward the wrong side; press.
Fold the facing raw seam allowances toward the wrong side; press. Slipstitch the folded edges to the dress halter.
Stitch a 3/8"-wide hem along the dress lower edge.

Is there something familiar about Falcon Heene, the 6-year-old kid who captured the nation's attention when he was reportedly trapped in an experimental balloon designed by his parents -- but actually hiding in the garage attic?
The balloon landed in Colorado with no sign of Falcon, who turned up safe and sound at home. But those curious about the boy have turned to a reliable source: Google's YouTube. The online-video site, based in San Bruno, Calif., is filled with videos of the Heene family, thanks to their star turn on ABC's "Wife Swap."
Here's the strangest of the bunch -- a music video in which the Heene children, including Falcon, rail against -- ahem -- the emasculation of the American male:
And here are the Heene kids (Falcon's in the middle) making "booger soup":
There's even an entire channel devoted to the Heene family. Not every YouTube viewer is a fan of the Heenes' oeuvre, though. YouTube user ianmalcm declared the balloon episode "a stunt":

Food & Wine Classic a spectacle of feasting, boozing, schmoozing
Friday started like this – star chefs Rick Bayless and Susan Feniger cooked a huge breakfast, and served it to people who made it into the Food & Wine Classic event at the Hotel Jerome in Aspen. Bayless, naturally, went Latin: chilaquiles, tamales wrapped in banana leaves, churros. Feniger, whose newest restaurant in Los Angeles, called Street, explores the world's street foods, served lettuce bowls with Korean rice inside, a fruit salad with sunflower seeds that was fantastic, fried bananas with a sweet cream. The dishes, too, were served with cocktails.
Nice way to get the engines started. I long have admired the two of them, and have cooked for 20 years from their books. When I mentioned to Feniger a recipe for ribs that I adore from one of her early books, she immediately knew it and said, "those ribs really are out of this world."

Libertarian-leaning Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) made headlines last week for single-handedly obstructing the renewal of the Patriot Act, calling the law an unconstitutional infringement on civil liberties. His demand to insert a series of amendments to weaken the law nearly allowed it to lapse and put the country at "risk," but Paul said it was worth it to prevent the government from continuing to "blatantly ignor[e] the Constitution." But when Paul went on Fox News host Sean Hannity's radio show Friday to discuss his opposition to the national security law, he suggested implementing a far more serious infringement on civil liberties. While discussing profiling at airports, Paul called for the criminalization of speech:
PAUL: I'm not for profiling people on the color of their skin, or on their religion, but I would take into account where they've been traveling and perhaps, you might have to indirectly take into account whether or not they've been going to radical political speeches by religious leaders. It wouldn't be that they are Islamic. But if someone is attending speeches from someone who is promoting the violent overthrow of our government, that's really an offense that we should be going after — they should be deported or put in prison.
Listen here:
Paul's suggestion that people be imprisoned or deported for merely attending a political speech would be a fairly egregious violation on the First Amendment, not to mention due process. What if someone attended a radical speech as a curious bystander? Should they too be thrown in prison? And who defines what is considered so "radical" that it is worth imprisonment?
But Paul's suggestion is especially appalling coming from someone who fashions himself as a staunch defender of civil liberties. Since coming to Congress, Paul has received praise from libertarians and liberals alike for supposedly being consistent on the issue, and he often speaks of civil liberties in speeches and TV appearances.
However, aside from his admirable stance on the Patriot Act, Paul's record shows he's hardly the paragon of civil liberties he claims to be, but rather is "indistinguishable from the rest of the GOP on national security issues," noted The American Prospect's Adam Serwer last year. He's said he will "always fight" to keep GITMO open; has said "[f]oreign terrorists do not deserve the protections of our Constitution;" and has never taken a strong public stance against torture, staying silent most recently after the killing of Osama bin Laden.
"I believe that America can successfully protect itself against potential terrorists without sacrificing civil liberties," his website says. Apparently speech is not a civil liberty.
Barefoot and Progressive's Joe Sonka notes that by Paul's own logic, he should be put in jail, as he himself has flirted with rhetoric about violently overthrowing the government.

Londonderry resident organizes conference for thyroid cancer survivors08/1998

Londonderry resident organizes conference for thyroid cancer survivors
by Suzanne Laurent
Derry News Staff
Wearing thick red wool socks and a vest over his shirt, Ric Blake sits on the deck of his Londonderry home. It's a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon. A perfect day -- a dry, windless 80 degrees. Blake, however, is cold. Diagnosed three years ago at the age of 50, with thyroid cancer, Blake has stopped taking his medication, Synthroid, two weeks ago in preparation for a trip to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland to take part in a research protocol for thyroid cancer. While there at the end of August, he will have three sets of bone scans and a radioactive therapy treatment.
Each time a thyroid patient has scans done, the patient has to be off medication for six weeks. Being hypothyroid,without the medication, Blake's
body temperature drops from his average of 98.4 degrees to 96 or 97 degrees. Fatigue sets in and concentration is difficult.
Over the past three years, Blake went from denial (hiding the disease from those close to him), to anger, to as he calls it becoming a "cancer
terrorist." The result is a conference scheduled for September 18-20, called Thyca '98. Thyca is a term coined by Blake for thyroid cancer. "Thyca '98 is a nuts 'n bolts conference where survivors will have a chance to talk face-to-face with other survivors, most for the first time since their diagnosis," said Blake.
Blake went on to say that unlike breast and prostate cancer, thyroid cancer does not affect many thousands. "Only 12,000 to 15,000 are diagnosed with thyroid cancer each year," he continued. "We are so few, that unless physicians specialize in thyroid disease or surgery, they may go through their entire career treating only a handful of 'thyca' patients."
Thyroid cancer treatment requires taking daily medication and for the rest of the patient's life undergoing periodic diagnostic procedures and sometimes radiation. "Learning to live with the disease is much more difficult if you never have the chance to meet others with 'thyca'," said Blake.
Blake had surgery in October, 1995. What was supposed to be a two hour operation became six hours. His vocal chords were paralyzed and he had to have an emergency tracheotomy after a week of being in severe respiratory distress. Blake soon realized that there was no written material available for a patient going home after a tracheotomy. Blake, who is the director for the Office of Public Information at the Greater Lawrence Health Center, was terrified. Much of his job involved public speaking.
Anger at lack of medical information about his disease increased when he tried to find support and to cope with living with this particular form of
cancer. "The worst part was that he wouldn't tell anyone for almost a year," said Diane, Blake's wife of 31 years. "Diane was just as terrified as I was," said Ric. Blake's vocal chords did heal and he is very outspoken now about his disease.
Help came over the Internet. Blake located a weekly thyroid cancer chat room organized by Karen Ferguson, a resident of Charlotte, North
Carolina, also diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The chat room is open to 'thyca' survivors from 8 to 9 pm on American Online every Monday night.
Blake found the chat room particularly helpful to guide someone through what he calls "your worst nightmare." When Blake needed to have his
first radiation treatment, he describes a sense that could be right out of a Robin Cook novel. "For three days, I was in isolation after swallowing a
pill that made me radioactive. I had to eat and sleep with piled up paper plates and bedding. The whole room was encased in white paper and
plastic. No one wanted to come in the room."
Thyroid patients must starve their bodies for iodine by going off the Synthroid for six weeks, and eating a special iodine-free diet for two weeks before a scheduled bone scan. During the scan, iodine is used to target cancerous cells. If cells are found the patient must go through the radiation treatment.
Blake keeps a sense of humor about life. His perennial garden has whimsical objects here and there to make him smile. "Most people have this
thing about angels," he said. "Look around -- gargoyles, everywhere." On a more serious note, he said, "for many years before I was diagnosed with cancer, I lived each day as a gift, a lesson even more important to remember after a life-threatening illness. In my case, I took up perennial gardening. You have to have faith you'll be around to enjoy the beauty of your work when you plan a perennial that won't mature for another few
Having the support group on the Internet helps, but Blake wanted to make the ordeal of surviving thyroid cancer more personal -- to have survivors
meet face to face. Open to survivors and their families, the conference will have round-table discussions co-facilitated by survivors and health care
personnel. Topics will include "RAI" therapy, tests and treatments, iodine-free diet and managing the hypothyroid roller coaster. The conference
will beheld at the Boston Mariott in Burlington, Mass. The cost of the conference is $10 per person if registered before August 15, after which it
will be $25. One can register by contacting Jan Scheuerman, Thyca '98 registrar, 413 SW 46th Terrace, Cape Coral, FL 33914-6466 or registering
through the Thyca '98 web page at http://people.ne.mediaone.net/sunbear/thyca. Ric Blake may be reached at 603-434-4932 evenings and weekends or by e-mail: email@example.com

You probably don't know much about Lazar Hayward. He was drafted out of Marquette by the Minnesota Timberwolves at the end of the first round in the 2010 draft, was traded to Oklahoma City a year ago, was then shipped to Houston as part of the James Harden deal, and was finally released in October.
But now Hayward has returned to the T-Wolves organization. This normally wouldn't be big deal, except that Hayward has come back to Minnesota with revelations about his relationship with the undead. From the Star Tribune:
Out of the NBA and out of basketball since Houston waived him in October, the Wolves' former first-round draft pick has worked recently with two Los Angeles mediums who he says have guided him on a spiritual quest that dates to his childhood.
"I've always just had a lot of questions spiritually because I always kind of seen stuff when I was a kid and I used to tell friends and they'd look at me and say, 'Lazar, you might need some help,' " he said laughing during a surreal post-practice conversation with reporters. "So they used to make fun of me. I just had a lot of questions because I've always just wondered."
Don't get too excited, though. Hayward isn't a genuine medium quite yet, as he can't speak to any of the ghosts he sees.
"I've actually been able to see a spirit," Hayward said. "I can't talk to them yet, but I have seen them."
Still, this is very exciting news! If the T-Wolves are smart, they will immediately institute a halftime video segment at home games in which Hayward tells the crowd about what spirits he has seen that week. They could call it "What Kind Of Spirits Has Lazar Hayward Seen This Week?" It would be a hit.

Early historical maps were usually one-of-a kind unique hand-drawn creations. Even if the map were published, the additional copies of the map were duplicates or near duplicates of the original. As a result of the individuality of the maps, there was no easy way to compare places shown on one map to those same places shown on another map. The problem was the lack of a uniform scale.
In maps, the term "scale" refers to the relationship between a measured distance on the map and the measured distance on the actual portion of the earth being represented. If the scale were 1 to 1 (usually represented by 1:1), the map would be the same size as the land or building represented. For very small objects a 1:1 representation is reasonable and practical. For land, showing things at full size is usually very impractical. Any map drawn to a particular scale will only be entirely useful if the map also shows the scale represented.
Here is a screen shot of the bottom of a topographical map showing the scale:
The bar scale shown in the screen shot above, gives you a measuring size so that you can measure almost exact distances on the map. The bars are calibrated in meters, miles and feet. Remember that a mile is 5280 feet.
Many other map scales have been used historically and many are in use today. Some of the most common scales for topographical maps include the 1:62,500 or a 15 minute quadrangle, the 1:100,000 or one degree sheet and the 1:250,000 or 2 degree sheet. The reference to "minute" is the measurement on a circle i.e. curved surface of the earth's sphere in degrees, minutes and seconds. (360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes in a degree, 60 seconds in a minute). The smaller the scale of the map, such as 1:250,000 the larger the area on the actual earth surface, the map covers. Large scale maps cover a small actual world area. Small scale maps cover a large actual world area.
Now you are asking, who cares and why should I know this? A map is not just a picture, it is supposed to be a representation of a portion (or all) of the earth's surface. Old historical maps were sometimes drawn with a variable scale. That is, the scale varied from one location to another. Places well known to the map maker were drawn with greater detail than those unknown or at some distance. It is often very difficult to try and match an historical map to its modern equivalent for this reason alone. If you are aware of the scale of a map every time you look at one, you will not be mislead by places that appear to be quite close but, due to the scale of the map, may actually be hundreds of miles apart. A map is only accurate if it has a consistent and measurable scale.

Kaniatario - Detailed Meaning
Since the qualities contained in the name of Kaniatario demand that you serve mankind in a universal way, you find that the things that mean the most to you are taken away from you, either through shattered ideals or losses in the affections. When you care for someone, you can be extremely possessive and jealous of any interference. You centre your whole world around that one particular person, not allowing the other person freedom of thought or action, thus spoiling happiness for both yourself and the other person. You find there are extreme changes in your nature, from feelings of intense optimism in which case you express kindness, understanding, generosity and charm to everyone, to feelings of extreme pessimism, when you are temperamental, hard to get along with, easily upset and think that no one cares for you. You need a worthwhile objective in your life to find happiness and evenness of temperament. You want the best out of life, and yet you never seem to have it. You have the highest of ideals and hopes, yet you never find a fulfilment of your efforts. You also want to be appreciated and to feel needed for the things you do. You often do not receive appreciation and recognition for your efforts and people tend to take advantage of your good nature. You can be easily appealed to and could be taken advantage of either in your personal affairs or in a material way, such as the lending of money, for you find it difficult to refuse a request. You can be easily moved by music and drama. You love music and if given the proper opportunity, you could excel at the playing of instruments, preferably stringed instruments, or you could do very well in any form of dramatic expression. Tension in your body, caused through this name, affects the nervous system in extreme nervousness, and could also bring fits, strokes, apoplexy, nervous habits and breakdowns.
