Atlanta Remodel
A designer daughter helps her parents renovate their new home

- 1 of 19
Atlanta designer Amy Morris knows clients Daphne and Alex Davis so well that she can tell you who wakes up first and how they like their coffee. That's because she grew up with them. Naturally, when the Davises wanted help in finding a smaller house, they turned to Amy, their designer daughter.
"We needed to downsize, and we were looking at houses in our neighborhood," Daphne says. "We took Amy along on our house tours because she has such good ideas and knows what we like." When the trio saw a clapboard Colonial just a block away from the Davises' existing home in the historic Brookhaven neighborhood of Atlanta, Amy's eyes lit up. "She saw the potential immediately," Daphne recalls.
"When I walked through, the flow felt so nice, and I could tell the bones of the house were good," Amy says. She called on Atlanta architect Bradley Heppner, a frequent collaborator, and they toured the house with Daphne and Alex, brainstorming changes and additions.
Although the house had a nice traffic flow, the kitchen was too small. "My parents love to entertain, and they wanted a bigger kitchen and a keeping-room area where people could gather," Amy says. In addition, Alex hosts a weekly early morning men's Bible study group, and the Davises wanted a spacious room with plenty of comfortable seating to accommodate that.
Heppner proposed a two-story addition, gaining a new, larger kitchen, adjoining keeping room, family dining area, laundry room, back entry hall, and stairs leading to a large upstairs family room.
The architect spanned ceilings in the first-level addition with salvaged wood beams that complement Amy's choices of kitchen materials, including hefty walnut countertops and large-scale backsplash tiles. "The beams make the spaces feel more relaxed--less stuffy," Amy says. Heppner adds that one important feature of the home is the interaction of natural light and texture. "Antique beams were a perfect fit for a more relaxed Colonial farmhouse feel where we were highlighting texture," he says.
In the existing house, Amy and Heppner kept the room configurations the same but stripped out trim work, light fixtures, and wall coverings to introduce an unpretentious neutral aesthetic. The architect replaced existing trim with simple 1x4 molding that has a small base cap and a simple coved crown.
In the living room, built-in bookshelves were removed, making way for a gallery treatment of four pressed and framed orchids on the wall behind the piano. The orchids were one of the first purchases for the room, and Amy admits her parents initially were a bit dubious. "My mom wasn't sure they were right; they were just so different from the art they had before," Amy recalls. "And my dad didn't get them at all." She prevailed, however, convincing them that the size, colors, and "peaceful" qualities of the art were just what the room needed. "They introduced a very soft, calming palette," she notes. Her parents eventually agreed, and there were few questions after that. "My mom and dad really trusted me," Amy adds. "My mom and I shopped together for most of the furnishings, and she was very receptive to my ideas and advice."
Other changes in the living room included replacing windows flanking the fireplace with French doors to a garden. The staircase, which is at one end of the living room, was updated with a simple iron handrail replacing a wood railing and painted, turned balusters. A built-in bar at the foot of the stairs was removed, allowing for a new, centrally located powder room.
In the dining room, Amy stripped off the gold moiré wall covering and painted the walls a warm charcoal gray. She covered one wall with mirrors antiqued and mounted in a grid pattern. Cleverly concealed behind one of the mirrored panels is a china cupboard she created in dead space behind the wall.
A large-scale antique chandelier replaced the crystal one above the table. Nearly as wide as the table, the chandelier makes a strong statement, but that's Amy's style. "I prefer large-scale items. They're more dramatic, and rooms often need that."
Amy and Heppner simplified the foyer by walling off a doorway to a sitting room next to the master suite. This created wall space for a settee and routes guests into the living and dining rooms, reserving the sitting room as a private retreat. Plus, when the Davises host dinner parties, the foyer doubles as an extension of the dining room. "My parents have a skirted table they can pull up to the settee," Amy says.
In the master suite sitting room, knotty pine paneling was painted charcoal gray, creating a sophisticated backdrop for the sink-in armchairs. "It's a very peaceful room," Amy says. "There's no TV, and my parents often read and have coffee there."
The house is about 4,805 square feet--not tiny, but certainly more manageable than the Davises' previous 8,000-square-foot home. "Our big house was wonderful for raising our kids, but it was too much space for just the two of us," Daphne says. "This house is just the right size for the scale of entertaining and the way we live now."

Exotic West Hollywood Home
The refined and the exotic cohabit in beautiful harmony
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 20
Los Angeles homeowner Carmen Lopez's treasured collections of books, silver, bracelets, dishware, antique wooden canes, Battersea boxes, and just about anything Hermès don't just lend personality to the West Hollywood home she's owned for more than 23 years. They also give her life the sense of permanence she lost when she left her home in Cuba.
Once forced to abandon her possessions in Havana, Carmen now makes a hobby of gathering and displaying—filling her 1920s Spanish deco charmer with memories of people, places, travels, and enchanting curiosities. "This home is a reflection of my life—an assortment of things that make me happy and comfortable," says Carmen.
While her days are filled as the West Coast advertising director for People en Español magazine, Carmen also "works" part-time as a decorator for family and friends. She designed her own interiors, giving them an evolved look that only gains interest with time.
"It's not a style per se," Carmen says of the unique combination of authentic 1920s-era Spanish architecture and eclectic furnishings. "It's a little bit of everything." And from the arched windows and trayed deco ceilings to the Murano glass dining room chandelier inherited from a friend's Manhattan apartment and the bone-inlay coffee table passed down from her best friend's mother, there's nothing clichéd here. Everywhere visitors turn, there's a story to be told.
Inspired by fabrics and beautiful objects from such disparate destinations as Asia and Cuba, Carmen gave her home's interiors a dash of the exotic. Ebony flooring and pale blue ceilings set the stage for traditional furniture upholstered with fabrics in Indian motifs, while midcentury Lucite finds are paired with Chinese imports and Ming dynasty reproductions.
A blue-and-white striped dhurrie atop a seagrass area rug layers the look, offering dimension and pattern underfoot. Ethnic textiles in riveting reds, greens, and yellows tantalize the eye after sundown, creating drama against neutral walls. "I wanted to be sure this house played well at night," says Carmen, who entertains frequently for family, friends, and coworkers. "I love sharing this home with everyone."
To accommodate her collecting hobby, she designed custom built-ins in the kitchen, living, dining, and breakfast spaces. "You might as well have your nicest things out all the time and fully enjoy them," she says. Her tabletop assortment of Battersea boxes are on a rotating schedule, with a handful at a time brought out of storage to keep the look fresh. "These collections are a conversation piece in every room," she says. "They say a lot about my life." But nothing is solely for show. When she's hosting a large soiree, Carmen brings out every piece of dinnerware and uses all of her 75-piece silver collection.
In the breakfast area, she wrapped walls in a chic brown lattice print. A grid of shelves encompasses an existing window and accommodates collectibles, making a graphic statement against the backdrop. A pop of color was introduced into the nook by upholstering the window seat bolster and bamboo chairs in a tangerine-hued fabric with an Asian-inspired motif.
Carmen also revamped the kitchen without deleting its '20s-era charm by keeping its petite U-shaped footprint and refurbishing the antique O'Keefe & Merritt gas stove. "I rebuilt the cabinets as they were but added glass doors to showcase my dishware," she explains.
In the master suite, Carmen chose a peaceful pastel palette. She cranked up the color volume with vibrant pink pillows that accent the bedding's soft hues. Asian-inspired wallpaper sets the tone in the adjacent bath. The bathroom's vintage hutch, a flea-market find, was painted taupe to bring it up to speed.
"I keep the house as stylish as possible, but I can operate on the cheap," says Carmen. "Decorating on a budget can be twice the fun." Avoiding a splurge (and adding a creative style twist), she converted an existing tub into a plush daybed upholstered in terry, in lieu of removing or replacing the tub completely.
Despite lavish collections and one-of-a-kind-finds, nothing is too precious here. Carmen continues to seek new objects to love and collect, allowing her home to morph with time. "This house has been many things," says Carmen. "But this home has always wrapped around me. It hugs me every time I walk in the door."

Dining Room Details
Collecting silver is such a passion that Carmen added shelves in her dining room to display her favorite pieces.
Dining Room Silver Collection
Perhaps Carmen Lopez's most impressive collection in her Los Angeles home is her assortment of fine silver, which lines the walls flanking the arched opening in the formal dining room. "I started my silver collection with the tea set, which I purchased on Portobello Road in London," says Carmen. "It was so tarnished when I bought it that the owner of a hotel took it away immediately and polished it for me." Over time, Carmen added to the collection piece by piece, purchasing silver cake stands, platters, candlesticks, goblets, figurines, bowls, and other sculptural objects everywhere she visited—from Boston flea markets to refined New England antiques stores. Several pieces are cherished gifts from family members and friends. "Not all of it has a great history. And none of it is priceless," she adds. "It's the memory each item exudes that makes it special."

Four layers of old flooring were removed to reveal the kitchen's original wood floor, which Carmen painted glossy black to match the adjoining ebony-stained wood floors.

Automotive manuals
Next to Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, a 'pdf' is probably the most used things whether you read academic documents, books or even reports. The word pdf actually stands for portable document format and it is nothing but a file format for not only creating but also sharing documents. These documents can be shared and created independent of any kind of software or hardware and does not even require anything like an operating system. This file format is used worldwide for sharing and storing electronic documents and this software is 'one software fits all'. The pdf was invented in 1991 by Dr. John Warnock in a project titled "The Camelot Project". This project is one of those revolutionary projects which paved the way for the electronic revolution and its very motto was "paper-to-digital revolution". The motto was made famous rightly so, because the three alphabets pdf actually changed not only people's lives but also the way documents are created, shared and stored.
The creation of the pdf was more substantial than all other document formats and is the widely used format across the world. Although pdf was invented by Adobe, it is now maintained by the international organization for standardization and is used as an open standard now. This means, that any user anywhere in the world can download, install and use the pdf format for all their documents. A pdf can be read using the free acrobat reader (DC) software and it contains things like form fields, video, audio, business logic and links and buttons. An interesting and unique thing about a pdf is that pdf files can also be signed electronically. Although these things may not seem very substantial or powerful, however, when the pdf was first created all these minute details are what distinguished this format from all others
In addition to being ISO certified, pdfs can also be password protected, which means that pdfs not only maintain a certain quality and provide the users with the best of everything, a pdf also ensures maximum security for all kinds of documents and files that one wants to keep private. To overcome the nuisance of having to print out a pdf document, adobe has launched various mobile and web applications which give the users the utmost ease in not only creating and storing but also sharing pdf documents. Pdf files are used in academic institutes and workplaces around the world and there is a reason why almost everyone refers to a portable document as a pdf.

Sixteen months after she used a Tokyo gathering of global policy makers to defend her institution against criticism it was purchasing too many assets, Fed Chair Yellen attends this week's Group of 20 meeting in Sydney being lobbied to pay greater attention to foreign fallout as the U.S. slows its bond-buying.
What's not changed is her response: A well-managed U.S. economy benefits the world and other central banks have tools to support their own economies. That's disappointing counterparts such as India's Raghuram Rajan and Gill Marcus of South Africa, who criticized the lack of a synchronized global monetary policy as developing-nation currencies suffer their worst start to a year since 2010.
Related story: Tapping into emerging markets
The Fed's "job is not to make policy for India, it's to make policy for the U.S.," said Joseph Gagnon, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington and a former Fedeconomist. "Blaming other people for their problems isn't very helpful."
Almost three weeks since taking the helm of the Fed, Yellen, 67, makes her international debut as its chief when she joins fellow G-20 finance ministers and central bankers at the Feb. 22-23 talks. They meet in the wake of a decline in emerging-market shares and currencies on concern over softer economic growth.
Taper fallout
Blamed in part for the sell-off and need for interest-rate increases from Brazil to India is the Fed's decision of December to pull back its $85 billion-a-month asset purchase program, which it has since lopped to $65 billion. U.S. monetary policy will be part of the debate in Sydney, G-20 officials say.
See also: Treasuries pare losses amid speculation of Fed tapering pace
The recent volatility doesn't pose a "substantial risk to the U.S. economic outlook," Yellen said on Feb. 11, signaling the tapering will continue. The U.S. central bank sets policy "to pursue our goals that Congress has assigned," she said.
In an accompanying report, the Fed described the rate increases in emerging markets as "stopgap measures" that should be coupled with fiscal and structural changes "to help remedy fundamental vulnerabilities."
Response threshold
The Fed will react only if the emerging-market woes start "to have a more meaningful impact on monetary conditions and/or growth," in the U.S, said Dario Perkins, director of global economics at Lombard Street Research Ltd. in London and a former U.K. Treasury official. "In the absence of such weakness, the Fed will continue to taper."
That may irk some of Yellen's G-20 counterparts. Reserve Bank of India Governor Rajan told Bloomberg News on Jan. 30 that international monetary cooperation "has broken down." He said developed countries can't "wash their hands off and say we'll do what we need to and you do the adjustment."
Marcus, who has led South Africa's central bank since 2009, said in a Feb. 3 interview that it's in the Fed's interest to ensure less turbulence in developing nations.
"Statements that we need to more explicitly coordinate international policy are a bit overblown compared to where real gains would be from doing that," St. Louis Fed President James Bullard told reporters in Washington yesterday.
Own policy
"So as long as every country pursues its own monetary policy for its own purposes and does a good job at that, you get a pretty good global equilibrium that isn't too far from the one that you would get if everyone was under the same monetary policy or was perfectly coordinating monetary policy," he said.
While Fed policy makers didn't mention emerging markets in their last policy statement, officials agreed the unfolding events in emerging markets "needed to be watched carefully," minutes of their January meeting released yesterday show.
"Recent volatility in emerging markets appeared to have had only a limited effect to date on U.S. financial markets," according to the record of the gathering. "It was also noted that recent developments in several emerging market economies, if they continued, could pose downside risks to the outlook."
Fed policy makers backed away from their year-old commitment to consider raising interest rates when unemployment falls below 6.5 percent. With the jobless rate falling faster than expected even as other labor-market indicators show weakness, policy makers agreed it would "soon be appropriate" to revise their guidance about how long the era of low interest rates will remain, the minutes showed.
Recovery risk
Risks of prolonged market turmoil in emerging markets and of deflation in the euro area are threatening the world's improved economic prospects, according to the International Monetary Fund. In a staff report prepared for central bankers and finance ministers from the G-20, the IMF said the recovery is still weak and "significant downside risks remain."
See also: Yellen says recovery is 'far from complete'
For Stephen Cecchetti, a former economic adviser to the Bank for International Settlements, the lesson is that monetary policy cannot be relied upon alone to fix economic weaknesses and governments must do more. That will be a theme of the Sydney meeting too as Australia pushes infrastructure investment as a way to spur jobs.
Other measures might come from trade liberalization, reducing wasteful subsidies, curbs on state-owned companies or simply being more open to foreign investment, said Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economics research at HSBC Holdings Plc in Hong Kong.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. told investors in December that a lack of economic reforms meant they should cut allocations in developing nations by a third, predicting a "significant underperformance" for stocks, bonds and currencies over the next 10 years.
Countries which did take advantage of capital flows to revamp their economies, such as Mexico and South Korea, are now in better shape and show what can be achieved, according to William Rhodes, senior adviser to Citigroup Inc.
"Recent market events should be an incentive to emerging- market countries to put in place structural reforms quickly," said Rhodes, who is now president and chief executive officer of William R. Rhodes Global Advisors LLC in New York.
Blame game
Less than two years ago, the Fed's asset purchases were blamed for encumbering emerging nations with speculative capital and pushing up their currencies, making exports more expensive.
As Fed vice chairman at the time, Yellen's response was to tell a meeting of the IMF in October 2012 in Tokyo that "on balance, stronger U.S. growth is beneficial for the entire global economy."
That line was echoed on Jan. 31 this year by Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher, who said: "If we're strong, others will benefit from it."
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi reinforced the idea that it is up to each institution to keep its house in order. "The priority for all of us is the compliance with our mandate," he said on Feb. 6 in Frankfurt.
The following week, Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey said the world "can no longer rely on methadone every day" from easy U.S. monetary policy and that central banks must act in their national interests.
Overblown concerns
Some recent academic research suggests the concerns in developing nations may be overblown. A January study by Kristin Forbes of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management found that for all the complaining, U.S. interest rates had only a 12 percent correlation with private capital flows to emerging markets from 1990 to 2013.
Not all agree the Fed is blameless. John Taylor, a former Undersecretary at the U.S. Treasury and now a professor at Stanford University, said in a July paper that the Fed and other leading central banks should return to the rules-based monetary policy of the 1980s and 1990s, which generated a form of coordination.
Neil Mackinnon, a global macro strategist at VTB Capital Plc in London, wrote in a Feb. 17 note that any deterioration in international monetary cooperation will probably provoke "an increase in protectionism, an increase in capital controls and a retreat into economic isolationism."
For all sides, the G-20 meeting will allow a clearing of the air, said Pier Carlo Padoan, chief economist at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, who will be in Sydney.
"We need more exchange of information, we need more consideration especially among large central banks about the impacts of what they're doing," Padoan said in an interview. "There is one place where that can take place, which is the G-20 meeting."

It didn't take long for the Cincinnati media to hound MLB commissioner Bud Selig with questions about Pete Rose.
In fact, it was the second question the outgoing commissioner received during his conference at Great American Ball Park on Friday night. Rose was banned for life from baseball in 1989 by then-commissioner Bart Giamatti, but there are plenty of people — especially in Reds country — that believe Selig could reinstate him or pardon him before stepping down in January.
"I understand I am in The Land of Pete Rose, driving in here on Pete Rose Way," he said, via FOXSports.com. "All that is fair. The man was a great player and had a great history here. He was a great hitter. But, you know, there are a lot of things in life that happen that the commissioner, or any of us, wish hadn't happened. I was particularly close to Bart Giamatti, one of the best friends I ever had in the world.
"I understand the feeling here in Cincinnati, I do. I'm sensitive to it, as a matter of fact," he added. "I've said, because I am the judge and it is a matter under advisement, that it is inappropriate for me to say any more about it."
That didn't stop the questions from flooding in about Rose, but Selig remained tight-lipped about Rose's status. Selig did not give anything away, only telling the media that he still has a few months to mull the matter over.
"How it ends, eventually, I do not know," he said. "I've taken it seriously, talked to a lot of people. It is one of those situations that is difficult and you wished it didn't exist. I have to think about this. I have five months to think about it."

Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
> Making the applications available on both Linux and Windows
Since years now, a hell lot of FOSS is available on macosX fixing for free (money and efforts) every gap and lacks the platform had. (For example, everybody uses VideoLan Client and/or mplayer. Having only QuickTime would have been a pain in the ass). If your theory is good, you would have seen a lot of people working as secretary in your office switching to Linux.
Have you ?
Note that I don't care/even welcome the macos port, because Apple will ever remain a niche market, and because there is 40 times less concurrency there than for Win32. The later means that a lot of FOSS app will have a realistic chance there, so it's still a win for "us" if you switch from windows to macosX. (If you switch from Linux to macosX, it's a net loss though).
Win32 is a whole other story.

In other offices.
It would make lots of people think more about linux, and probably even switch.
If it really would be that way.
By Tim Beaulen at Mon, 2005/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
But the point jmfayard made is spot on. The next movement in terms of MacOSX and Linux is TOWARD OSX. The general rule of thumb is that more people are moving TO OSX from Linux than the other way around. Why? Because, "I can have all the power of a unix system with a nice Mac polish and Microsoft Office natively supported." OSX running Linux apps have HURT Linux, PERIOD!
This is bad news for F/OSS!
Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
Linux as a OS has no advantages over MacOS but the freedom and the price.
By jose marin at Tue, 2005/02/08 - 6:00am
Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
I agree. If linux is to move into a dominant position, businesses and governments must be able to have the applications they current use run in a linux environment. Consider the area of emergency services (Police, Fire and EMS). There are no commercial quality Linux apps available for dispatching, call taking, incident reporting, etc.
Why would a government make a switch to Linux, when it would then have to support two operating systems? One for office apps, another for service operations, it is a nightmare situation. Then there is the problem of using the data generated on one system and importing it to the other system.
The more applications that are cross platform, the better.
Then why would they switch from Linux to Windows? Several reasons. My agency was force to switch to XP from NT4 due to lack of support from MS. NT4 did the job, but it was no longer supported. An agency with 38 stations, a training academy, etc, that is a lot of money. Now if I could do a gradual change to Linux, cause all of the apps were cross platform, the situation changes. I don't have an enormous outlay of cash because MS decides it is time to stop support. I can budget expenses based on my timetable, not MS. And lets not forget the ever popular MS software audits, that cost the agency time and money.
I agree, the cross platform support is critical to making Linux dominant.
Just my two-cents worth

Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
Making them suffer != making them switch.
Sometimes I have to use Windows in developing. I use Linux as much as I can, but our company sells Windows software. If I could have all of my favorite KDE apps in Windows, I'd be much happier. Making me suffer, in this case, makes no sense.
By Bad_Bob at Mon, 2005/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
Why does your company sell Windows software?
My guess:
a. Your customers use Windows
Will the availability of KDE applications on Windows improve the situation?
IMHO no. It will actually make it worse because it solves some problems that Windows user have (see Firefox) and it ports the great features like kioslaves to the windows platform.
By ac at Mon, 2005/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
Sometimes you use Windows in developing... You try to use Linux as much as your can but your company sells Windows software. If you could have your favorite KDE apps in Windows, you would be happier. Being able to use those KDE apps in Windows is gonna make you more likely to use Linux... NO? Of course not!
If you need a KDE app and it only runs on Linux... you start up Linux. If you now have it on Windows and you are using it on Windows then why bother starting up Linux. KDE on Win32 HURTS Linux... period! Its a simple fact. Some people (like yourself) will continue to use Linux/KDE, but for the vast majority of people all this means is that their Windows machines will have more/better software for them.
Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
So you're saying that choice is a bad thing? That we shouldn't give Windows users F/OSS at all?
What do you think about Firefox, OpenOffice, etc.? Did they hurt Linux?
By Bad_Bob at Mon, 2005/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
> What do you think about Firefox, OpenOffice, etc.? Did they hurt Linux?
Actually yes, because Windows user now have a viable alternative to the "bug contaminated", old IE. One less reason to switch to Windows.
By ac at Mon, 2005/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
Being on multiple platforms helped Firefox and Open-Office... but they did little to help Linux. Open-office is one of the only possible exceptions that I can think of, because it opened a file format to use on any platform. But the reverse would not be true because KDE's file formats are already open.
Firefox is an extension of Mozilla which is an extention of the old Netscape. Netscape was arguable ported to Linux and not the other way around. And yes, porting Netscape to Linux HURT Windows. Now that Linux/KDE apps will be ported to Windows they will most assuredly hurt Linux.
Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
Swings and roundabouts. There are many ways to look at this.
As you have said, Joe user generally doesn't care about the OS they use, but they do care about applications and more precisely, getting the task in hand done. In the home environment, this probably isn't going to change much. But in a company, a sys admin who is aware of potential, valid, professional benefits of switching to Linux may rejoice at this news.
If Joe user at work can be gradually migrated to using F/OSS QT/KDE apps on Windows which are also available on Linux and still get the job done, then the OS can be eventually switched over to Linux too with minimal disruption and retraining cost.

Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
My parrents use their computer for reading e-mail, paying bills via the web and write documents (Word for now). I installed Firefox and Thunderbird to minimize the risk of viruses and everything was OK. Then later I thought why not even install linux and KDE. Now my favorite browser is Konqueror and my favorite mail reader is KMail, so naturally that was what i planed to install, but they where already used to Firefox and Thunderbird and wanted the same applications under Linux.

Noone questions that Firefox and the rest are successful on the Windows and Linux platform at the moment.
What I question is that this success will move people away from Windows.

Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
Don't know you, but I'm not "fighting" for a world without Windows, I'm "fighting" for a world where one could choose in TOTAL freedom the programs and operating system to use, without being frustrated by closed standards or things like this. And as the world is going, the standards are dictated by the applications, and be the applications spreading. For example, the succes of Firefox will be probably make the web a more standard world. And that's good.

Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
Like it or not, the success of software GPL'ed software on the desktop was a total failure until their was a GPL'ed OS. If Linux dies on the desktop because of KDE's success, we will loose our freedom. When KDE ends up on Windows and developers discover the power of KDE do you honestly think they will care if their new KDE apps are able to run, work, or even compile on Linux? This same thing already happens on firefox, where there are tons of plug-ins that work on Windows but no other OSes. Programs that use Windows closed API's, closed standards because they are the de-facto standard. So what happens when KDE on Windows is actually better than KDE on Linux?
Those who are not willing to fight for their freedom will eventually loose it. And an FOSS desktop OS is a huge part of that equation. Porting KDE to Windows only contributes to the destruction of our freedom.
Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
In my eyes the best argument in this thread. All those windoze-devs who never bothered to have a look at linux/kde theirself. Eventually they will adopt kde-apps they like, enhance them even - but as windozw-kde-apps, using not only the KDE/Qt-API but native windoze-calls as well (why shouldn't they, they know 'em best, they used it for years). Worst of all, we all are lazy, so, why bother porting back to linux, it works for me (them) *sigh*

Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
Well, first of all KDE is not a simple application, KDE is a fundamental part of a modern operating system as it could be a GUI. I think that whole KDE will never be ported to win. Look, GTK has been GPL'ed and even LGPL'd from the very beginnings, do we have a Gnome over Windows? No, we have the possibility to run a bunch of GTK+ apps on win32, and that's good cause the users are normally addicted to applications, not operating systems or desktop environments. Moreover, as KDE devolopers stated, Windows is not a 100% POSIX system and KDE needs a POSIX system to work.

I care about commercial companies if they develop Free Software, if they develop proprietary sftware i don't care about them that much.

Re: Is a kde-shell possible?
The original author didn't want this to turn into a big political debate, but it has, so I'll chip in as well.
My point is short and simple; it's that there is no way in FLOSS you can control development, so don't bother. If some guy wants to port KDE to windows, then let him, if not then there's not much to say.
It's not our place to try and force everyone on this planet to switch our favorite OS.
We're just writing cool software. Lets let the developers decide what they want to write and let the users decide what they want to do with the fruits of our labour. Isn't that what Open Source is all about anyway: choice?

You are all missing a big point!
GPLED Qt on Windows->GPLED software on Windows->GPLED software on Linux and Unix and Windows due to Qt's cross platform nature and open source->mindshare and growing acceptance of Qt and OSS-> more skilled developers usinc OSS technology-> some will contribute to KDE and other projects-Trolltech becomes richer as a result of more interest in their product->Qt becomes better.
Therefore, this is a very goood thing and at the very least it won't make Linux a less attractive platform.

Does this mean....
Does this mean it will be available under the QPL and the GPL just like the Linux version? I would really hope I could still choose the QPL, but heck, I'll take the GPL at the very least!
By Questioner at Mon, 2005/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: Does this mean....
This is my concern as well. Trolltech is saying in their FAQ that they are considering the triple license as well. But in the meantime, I really don't think it makes a difference. The FSF has said consistantly that linking to a library with *multiple* implementations is not derivation. This is because you are now coding to an API instead of a specific library. This is what allows non-GPL-but-still-FOSS software to be ported to Qt/Mac. Now that the commercial-only barrier of Qt/Win is gone, it's available to any software with an Open Source license.

Ah, and let's don't forget what TT says:

This is exactly what I meant, keeping one part of the developer community in the then stoneage of Qt3 while everyone else moved forward to Qt4. And someone is seriously still putting work into creating such a situation? I don't see what good about that (except that of course everyone is free to do whatever he wants).
By ac at Tue, 2005/02/08 - 6:00am
qt3/win32 has been rendered irrelevant with this announcement. qt3/win32 will only hold back Qt 4 GPL (official) and it will only split development communities. It would have been useful had Trolltech not made thin breaking announcement.
But now, I think it is pointless to work on it isntead of KDE or more improtant things. We don't need it anymore! Sorry, it's the truth!
By matt at Tue, 2005/02/08 - 6:00am
Re: Right
Looks like your reasoning is based on your own needs. Do you think that KDE corporate users will switch to newer (stable or unstable) KDE versions everytime as home "hobbyists" often do? You can say "Shut up, I don't care!". And that's good FOR YOU. But lots of users DO care. Companies like SUSE or Lycoris rely on stable releases because, want to provide support for a particular desktop version: the support what is usually longer than, say, 6 months.
A user who purchased eg. SUSE commercial support last year won't be happy to give up and switch to, say, developemnt version on Debian or Slackware because someting so irrelevant for him like newer development libraries are "so cool". These are cool for me (and for you, IF you're developer, I don't know), but for users it's cool if they can get their daily work done. It's cool enough that they have chosen Linux as desktop, ... do you want to force them to switch back to win32 by telling them "Guys you're not at the bleeding edge!"?
So better say "it's my opinion" and not "it's the truth", because it's false for many developers out there. The time for Qt4 and KDE4 will come, but transition needs to be performed smoothly. That's the advantage of GPLed Qt3/win32.

By pinky at Mon, 2005/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: great!
TrollTech was forced to make this move; I am sure they did not want to. However, if they waited any longer, the QT port being done by the Cygwin guys would have been finished, and there would be GPL QT/Windows anyway; except that it would not be TrollTech's version of QT/Windows.
TrollTech made a smart move here by realizing that this would be bad for QT. The two versions of QT/Windows would have different bugs and incompatibilities, and TrollTech would have no control over the Cygwin QT code. Now everyone can use the same QT/Windows.
Unfortunately, TrollTech may lose a lot of sales to companies doing in-house projects. We can only hope that this move causes a surge of interest in QT, even from companies doing commercial software development. Otherwise TrollTech could be toast.
By Spy Hunter at Tue, 2005/02/08 - 6:00am
Re: great!
I don't believe that in-house projects will choose the GPL version. This would mean explaining your PHB that you never ever could give away / sell the software without also giving the source.
Dou you think any sane (ha!) PHB would go for that? QT Licenses are cheap in the commercial setting, they're really only a fraction of the total development costs.
By Bausi at Tue, 2005/02/08 - 6:00am
Re: great!
There's another reason why in-house teams will want the commerical version: the commerical database drivers that ship with it.
Most businesses choose big expensive databases, even if they go with free development tools, because they're terrified a F/OSS database would corrupt their data over time. For them, Qt Commercial is the only viable version.
By Bryan Feeney at Tue, 2005/02/08 - 6:00am
Re: great!
Not true, a GPL in-house project can be relicensed and then compiled with the QT commercial edition and sold, as long as the company holds the copyright on the code (which they always do). You're never locked into the GPL if you hold the copyright.

By pinky at Mon, 2005/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: SUPPORING KDE ON WINDOWS?
I don't know how well you know the KDE architecture. What needs heavy engineering to be ported is Libs. The applications depend on Libs, not on the underlying system except for things like kernel maintenance apps that are not even useful in Windows.
If done well, the applications that already compile for Linux/BSD/etc. should compile without changes with the Windows kdelibs headers. Maintenance will be done just like it's always done.
By Cloaked Penguin at Mon, 2005/02/07 - 6:00am
Re: SUPPORING KDE ON WINDOWS?
The scope of KDE on UNIX isn't just in the libs.
For example, in kdebase we have kicker and kwin (as examples) which rely-on/exist-due-to X, as well as kdm, kdesktop, etc.
Programs dock into kicker for system tray, etc. but would have to be reworked to dock into explorer's systray. Or kicker would have to be rewritten.
Kcontrol modules would have to be rewritten or dropped due to redundancy with the windows control panel. Screensavers would likely be entirely dropped. Session management would go away, since it uses feature of X, or reimplemented to be compatible with windows.
File dialogs, file property dialogs, etc. would all need to be rewritten or modified (this is kdelibs, I know)... Even tooltips in konq, which display the unix file permissions would have to be redone.
Support for Konqueror plugins for flash and related would have to rewritten to use the windows equivalents.
Arts would have to play to DirectSound - kmix would be redundant.
What I would look forward to are KHTML based windows browsers (not konq port) which will help the greater cause of website standards and interoperability. If a bunch of people are using KHTML, more website are likely to work in KHTML. (and gecko for that matter).
Also, I look towards the possibility of Qt+OOo becoming a staple (might be a wet dream though).

It's easy to feel disconnected, as many parents juggle work, school, kids, and activity after activity. But some simple things can bring a family closer — playing a game, going for a hike, or cooking a meal together.
One of the most satisfying, fun, and productive ways to unite is volunteering for community service projects. Volunteerism also sets a good example for your kids and helps the community.
Why should your family lend a helping hand?
If volunteering begins at an early age, it can become part of kids' lives — something they might just expect and want to do.
It can teach them:
If you've never been involved in community service before, volunteering as an individual may be a good place to start. Want to improve your computer knowledge? You may get free on-the-job training. Have you been out of the workforce raising children? Volunteering may be a painless way for you to get back into the routine of working before taking the plunge into a paid position.
And if you're looking for a career change, community service is a networker's dream. You can meet people who may offer opportunities you've never thought of. You can sample different workplaces and see how you like various fields. Your volunteering will definitely help others and may help you, too.
The Internet offers lots of sites with information about volunteer opportunities. You can also call a favorite charity, hospital, or church directly to see if they have any needs, or look up "Volunteerism" in the phone book in the Human Services section (often in the blue pages).
Or contact a local volunteer clearinghouse, which matches up volunteers and community organizations and can help you find openings at nonprofit organizations in your area.
Be prepared to answer questions such as:
You'll probably be interviewed again once the clearinghouse matches you with an appropriate job. Some situations require more information. If you want to work with kids, for instance, you may have to undergo fingerprinting and a criminal background check.
Be sure to be just as thorough when you question the organizations. Find out exactly what's expected of you before you accept the volunteer position. Be realistic and ask specific questions.
When looking for a volunteer position, remember that it may be difficult to find the perfect volunteer slot. Be flexible, and keep looking if the agency you were referred to doesn't meet your needs. It may take a while to find a perfect fit, but once you do, it will be worth it.
Once you do become involved, be responsible to those who depend on you. Be on time, dress appropriately, and let the volunteer coordinator know if you can't make it.
Families can do many volunteer jobs. Even the smallest child (with adult supervision) can pick up garbage at the park, playground, or beach. You don't even have to be part of a big effort to do this. Get your family together, find some garbage bags, and head out.
Or become involved in repair and renovation efforts for low-income residents. Younger kids might not be able to do the big jobs, but helping out by fetching a paintbrush or holding the nails involves them just the same.
Work at a community food bank or soup kitchen as a family. Find an organization that serves the elderly. Take food to people who are homebound and visit with them. Your kids can brighten a lonely senior's day instantly. Offer your family's help at the local animal shelter. Help plant flowers or trees. The possibilities are endless.
Whatever you choose to do, volunteering and community service can benefit both the community and your family. Get involved today!

Dramatic Bed Canopies and Draperies
Turn a modest bed into a fabulous focal point
Toile and Ivory Linen Bed Curtains
Even the most modest bed can become a fabulous focal point when theatrically swathed with fabric canopies and curtains. This master bedroom's traditional beige upholstered headboard lies within a gently curved wooden frame—understated and elegant, but not designed to accommodate a canopy. Yet the bed receives royal treatment when crowned with a corona of toile and ivory linen that drapes down from the vaulted ceiling behind the bed, with tie-backs on either side of the headboard. The good news? A similar treatment can be designed for almost style of bed.
Interior design: Samantha Lyman and Myra Hoefer
Fabric Frames a Floating Bed
Traditional pleated bed draperies allowed interior designer Denise Macy to think outside the box when arranging furniture in her Chicago home's master bedroom. Instead of backing up the bed to a wall, she floated it in the middle of the room, then framed it with drapery panels fabricated from a sophisticated Nancy Corzine fabric in a subtle solid hue.
Interior design: Denise Macy
Billowing Bed Curtains
It's hard to imagine more dramatic bed curtains than those that flow from an extra-tall ceiling all the way to floor. It's also hard to imagine a bed tall enough to allow that. Interior designer Paul Corrie circumvented the problem by designing a custom bed and custom canopy frame as two separate pieces. To support the canopy, he engineered distinctive iron rods that are mounted to the ceiling to hold billowy white linen bed curtains that puddle onto the floor. The taller the ceiling, the more dramatic the effect.
Interior design: Paul Corrie
Blue and Checked Bed Canopy
A tufted white headboard gains height and dramatic impact with a backdrop of blue bed drapes. The bed curtain treatment also includes a tailored blue-and-white checked valance and side panels in the same check pattern. A round gold mirror centered on the blue drapery above the bed adds yet more depth to the layered design.
Interior design: Kelley Proxmire
A Drapery Backdrop for the Bed
When a big bed poses a big decorating dilemma, a drapery backdrop may be the solution. The large scale of this gorgeous white-painted mahogany four-poster canopy bed from EJ Victor is easily integrated into the room by swathing the wall behind it entirely in white draperies. The fabric panels remove the need to hang art or accessories on the wall, which would be challenging given the bed's size. They also soften the impact of the bed's strong lines.
Furniture design: Thomas Jayne
Daybed Draped for a Princess
A little girl's bedroom becomes the fodder for a fairy tale with a daybed's dramatic canopy. In the style of a window treatment, a deep valance anchors the drapery. A pair of neutral panels plunge from the valance to either end of the daybed, while a zebra-pattern fabric as backdrop injects a modern element to the ultra-feminine lavender-painted bedroom.
Interior design: Tobi Fairley
Casual Canopy Tames Chinoiserie Bed
A traditional four-poster ivory-painted chinoiserie-style tester bed from Mary McDonald, Inc., is a visual feast with open fretwork, faux bamboo in bas relief, and pagoda-style finials. A casual canopy and back curtain take the high style down a degree. Solid blue cotton curtains behind the headboard, plus shapely ivory valances repeated in blue on the inner curtains, bring beach-house informality to the stately bed.
Interior design: Kim Alexandriuk
Streamlined Bed Canopy
Traditional bed draperies need not be an exercise in opulence. As this Dallas design shows, even the most tailored tastes can enjoy the cocooning comforts of a canopy bed. This streamlined guest room canopy is less about free-flowing fabrics and an abundance of ornament than it is sophistication and a clean style. The Coraggio Textiles sheer canopy is pulled taut so it appears almost invisible.
Interior design: Julio Quiñones
Draping for Continuity
The traditional drapery behind this custom headboard not only dresses up a blank wall and dramatizes the bed, but it also weaves together the pair of windows that flank the bed. The valanced drapery, which makes the bed a focal point, creates the illusion of a wide middle window that bridges the narrower windows on either side.
Tip: To make the bed drapery more dramatic than the window treatments, set it apart with a valance.
Interior design: Lori Tippins
Breezy Bed Drapery
Embellishing the bed with curtains can result in a light-hearted look that's appropriate for the most casual of traditional bedrooms. The operative words are restraint and palette. This cool blue-and-beige bed drapery displays the colors of surf and sand. The panels fall straight to the sides of the bed, sans fancy tie-backs.
Interior design: Kelley Proxmire
A Fab Canopy in Floral and Fringe
A low-slung green velvet headboard is elevated literally and stylistically with a behind-the-bed corona that drops from the ceiling. The treatment begins with a pinch-pleat floral valance trimmed in fringe. A green fabric that matches the velvet headboard drapes down from the valance to span the width of the bed. The result: the bed commands the entire wall behind it.
Interior design: Kristi Nelson
Beautiful Fabrics, Beautiful Bed
Luxury and pampering were the decorating goals for this guest room in the 2011 Lake Forest Showcase House in Illinois. Tone-on-tone layers of wool damask and silk on the dramatic behind-the-bed drapery exemplify the room's easy elegance.
Tip: Repeating the bed drapery fabric at the windows creates continuity in the design.
Interior design: Monica Pedersen
Safari-Style Canopy
For a bed with African inspiration, what better place to look than one of the best-designed tented camps-cum-hotels in Tanzania? Mosquito netting drops down from a ceiling-mounted corona to cloak a canopy frame just a little larger than the bed. When the curtains aren't closed, they tie back at the corners. Curtains at the foot of the bed overlap at the middle for appealing symmetry. White bed linens keep the design clean and sumptuous.
Bed Curtains with Earthy Elegance
Traditional design spans a range of styles from formal and fine to casual and comfortable. Casual finery is also part of the traditional lexicon, and nothing illustrates it better than the earthy-hue woven "Aegean Stripe" Cowtan & Tout bed curtains in this master bedroom. They announce quality in a casual manner.

It's an exciting day…you're bringing home that puppy for the first time…you introduce him to your friends and family and they all say: "He's got big paws, he's going to be a big dog!" That's what happened with my last three puppies and I'm sure I'll hear it again. In fact, my dogs did end up being on the large side, but it takes a little bit of time before they get those gigantic feet.
Case in point is this picture I recently came across. Take a look:
puppy feet! , originally uploaded by Derime
That's a mommy and her puppy. I think you can tell that first, the puppy's paws are small and second the puppy will eventually have large paws. Yikes! now that's a big different in paw size. Can you guess what kind of dog this is? I'll make it a little easier for you. take a look at this picture:
Newfoundland puppies and mother, originally uploaded by Derime
Do you know now? That's mommy with her pups…they are Newfoundlands a wonderful breed that can grow in excess of 100 pounds. Now those are big paws and a big dog.
I came across the puppy paw photos and thought it was too adorable not to post. I hope you enjoy!
