Evolving Responsive Web Design
In What We Mean When We Say "responsive" and Defining Responsiveness, Lyza Danger Gardner and Jason Grigsby cut to the heart of a disagreement I had three years ago with Ethan Marcotte, the creator of Responsive Web Design and author of Responsive Web Design, a book I published in 2011.
Ethan told the world that Responsive Web Design required, and was defined by, fluid layouts, flexible images, and media queries. All three elements had to be present. If they weren't using all three, you might be doing something interesting, but you were most definitely not doing Responsive Web Design.
Ethan invented all of this. Without him, we would likely be arguing whether it was time to consider 1280 pixels the new default fixed width for all desktop websites, and sending anything that wasn't a desktop browser to a function- and content-limited "mobile site" whose URL began with the letter m. Ethan is a brilliant, multi-talented innovator; I am but the shadow of a hack. And yet, before he began creating his book, midway through the writing, and even a year after I published it, I continued to urge Ethan to rethink #RWD as "a bigger idea"—a concept rather than a single set of techniques.
I'm no genius. What I meant by "bigger idea" was limited to the notion that we'd one day be able to create responsive layouts with different techniques—so let's not restrict the concept to a particular execution. I wasn't thinking about other meanings of responsive, wasn't considering problems of responsive content, and so on. I'm not that forward-thinking and it was three freaking years ago, come on.
I lost my gentle argument with Ethan, so the industry is having it now. And that's just as it should be. Everything worked out for the best. Here's why:
If Ethan hadn't included three simple executional requirements as part of his definition, the concept might have quickly fallen by the wayside, as previous insights into the fluid nature of the web have done. The simplicity, elegance, and completeness of the package—here's why, and here's how—sold the idea to thousands of designers and developers, whose work and advocacy in turn sold it to hundreds of thousands more. This wouldn't have happened if Ethan had promoted a more amorphous notion. Our world wouldn't have changed overnight if developers had had too much to think about. Cutting to the heart of things and keeping it simple was as powerful a creative act on Ethan's part as the "discovery" of #RWD itself.
We've only become ready to think about things like "responsible" responsive design, adaptive content, and a standard approach to responsive images now that we have built our share of first-generation responsive sites, and encountered the problems that led to the additional pondering. Baby steps. Brilliant baby steps.
Some commenters want to use initial-capped Responsive Web Design to mean responsive design as Ethan first defined it, and lowercase responsive design to mean an amorphous matrix of exciting and evolving design thinking. Lyza says soon we'll stop saying Responsive altogether, a conclusion Andy Clarke reached three years ago.
Me, I like that Ethan stuck to his guns, and that the classical definition will always be out there, regardless of how web design evolves thanks to it. Kind of like there's HTML 5, a defined and scoped W3C specification, and HTML living standard, an evolving activity. Our industry needs roots and wings, and, lucky us, we've got 'em both.

Big Web Show № 112: Responsive Images Get Real with Mat Marquis
THE GOAL of a "responsive images" solution is to deliver images optimized for the end user's context, rather than serving the largest potentially necessary image to everyone. Unfortunately, this hasn't been quite so simple in practice as it is in theory.
In Big Web Show № 112, I sit down with Mat Marquis, chair of the W3C Responsive Images Community Group, to discuss guidelines for responsive images in multi-device design. We talk about the history, theory, and multi-leveled challenge of responsive images, the path to standardization, and what browsers will do next.

Will the last digital canvas please turn out the lights?
DESIGNERS. WE LOVE CANVASES. It's what we know. Even the cave wall had predictable, fixed dimensions. On the web, in the past few years, we've finally had to acknowledge that the canvas is not fixed, that each user's canvas is different, and that fixed-width design—while safe and comfortable because it's what we know—really doesn't make sense in the world of HTML, and probably never did. We've spent the past two or three years rapidly learning (and sharing) new ways of designing.
But while we were unwrapping ourselves from the notion of a fixed canvas on the web, many of us were gleefully tucking into a fixed canvas in Apple's world of the iPhone and iPad. True, the iPad had more pixels than the original iPhone—an advantage also enjoyed by later iPhone models with their Retina displays. But they shared easily interchanged aspect ratios (4:3 for the iPad and 3:2 for the iphone), enabling designers to design right to the canvas.
Apple's fixed canvas wasn't just a designer's security blanket. It enabled us to craft a certain kind of polished experience right to the device. We laughed (or cried) at the Android with its 500 "standard" breakpoints and counting. Apple had given us a fixed-width sandbox and we built castles in it.
Well, goodbye to all that.
The end of fixed aspect ratios
With the iPhone 5's switch to a 16:9 aspect ratio, and given the unknown aspect ratio of the upcoming iPad mini, "we're going to see a big change in a certain type of iOS app—the one designed for the device," Craig Grannell predicts in today's reverttosaved.com:
[Veteran developer John] Pickford summed it up by stating his approach would no longer depend heavily on screen shape, and I've heard similar from other developers, both of apps and games although especially the latter. In a sense, this could be a good thing—freeing up iOS from the constraints of specific screen shapes opens up developers to whatever Apple throws at them next and should also make apps simpler to port to competing platforms. But it also impacts heavily on those tightly crafted experiences that were designed just for your iPad or just for your iPhone. Having all the action take place only in the very centre of a screen, because a developer cannot guarantee what device you're using, or, worse, carving out a viewport and surrounding it with a border, could cheapen iOS games and apps in a big way.
Perhaps I'm being pessimistic, but pre-iPhone 5, indies were already feeling the pinch. With that device and perhaps a new, smaller iPad to contend with, the shift towards more fluid and less device-specific apps seems inevitable.—Craig Grannell, iOS screen fragmentation points to a shift in app development
I share Craig's assessment of what the change in aspect ratios portends for application design. But I believe that designers will rise to the challenge, as we have on the web; and that bright app designers will find ways to design experiences which, even if they are actually flexible behind the scenes, still feel like they were custom crafted for the device in your hand.

Build Books With CSS3; Design a Responsive Résumé
"WE ARE ALL PUBLISHERS," claims Issue No. 353 of A List Apart for people who make websites. Design books with CSS3; craft a responsive web résumé.
Building Books with CSS3
by NELLIE MCKESSON
While historically, it's been difficult at best to create print-quality PDF books from markup alone, CSS3 now brings us the Paged Media Module, which targets print book formatting. "Paged" media exists as finite pages, like books and magazines, rather than as long scrolling stretches of text, like most websites. With a single CSS stylesheet, publishers can take XHTML source content and turn it into a laid-out, print-ready PDF. You can take your XHTML source, bypass desktop page layout software like Adobe InDesign, and package it as an ePub file. It's a lightweight and adaptable workflow, which gets you beautiful books faster. Nellie McKesson, eBook Operations Manager at O'Reilly Media, explains how to build books with CSS3.
A Case for Responsive Résumés
by ANDREW HOFFMAN
Grizzled job hunting veterans know too well that a sharp résumé and near-flawless interview may still leave you short of your dream job. Competition is fierce and never wanes. Finding new ways to distinguish yourself in today's unforgiving economy is vital to a designer/developer's survival. Happily, web standards whiz and mobile web developer Andrew Hoffman has come up with a dandy differentiator that is just perfect for A List Apart readers. Learn how to author a clean résumé in HTML5/CSS3 that scales well to different viewport sizes, is easy to update and maintain, and will never grow obsolete.

Responsive Images and Web Standards at the Turning Point – Mat Marquis in ALA
IN A SPECIAL ISSUE of A List Apart for people who make websites:
Responsible responsive design demands responsive images — images whose dimensions and file size suit the viewport and bandwidth of the receiving device. As HTML provides no standard element to achieve this purpose, serving responsive images has meant using JavaScript trickery, and accepting that your solution will fail for some users.
Then a few months ago, in response to an article at A List Apart, a W3C Responsive Images Community Group formed — and proposed a simple-to-understand HTML
picture element capable of serving responsive images. The group even delivered
picture functionality to older browsers via two polyfills: namely, Scott Jehl's Picturefill and Abban Dunne's jQuery Picture. The WHATWG has responded by ignoring the community's work on the
picture element, and proposing a more complicated
img set element.
Which proposed standard is better, and for whom? Which will win? And what can you do to help avert an "us versus them" crisis that could hurt end-users and turn developers off to the standards process? ALA's own Mat Marquis explains the ins and outs of responsive images and web standards at the turning point.

CSS & Mobile To The Future | Embrace Users, Constrain Design | An Event Apart Seattle 2012 Day II
TUESDAY, 3 APRIL 2012, was Day II of An Event Apart Seattle, a sold-out, three-day event for people who make websites. If you couldn't be among us, never fear. The amazing Luke Wroblewski (who leads a day-long seminar on mobile web design today) took excellent notes throughout the day, and shares them herewith:
The (CSS) Future is Now – Eric Meyer
In his The Future is Now talk at An Event Apart in Seattle, WA 2012 Eric Meyer talked about some of the visual effects we can achieve with CSS today. Create shiny new visual elements with no images using progressive enhancement and CSS that is available in all modern browsers.
A Philosophy of Restraint
- Simon Collison
In his A Philosophy of Restraint talk at An Event Apart in Seattle, WA 2012 Simon Collison outlined his design philosophy and how he applies it to web projects. Embrace constraints; simplicity and complexity; design aesthetic; design systems as foundations that prepare us for future projects and complexity; affordances and type; focus and content; audit and pause — prevent catastrophic failures and shine a new light on what you've learned with each project.
Touch Events – Peter-Paul Koch (PPK)
In his Touch Events talk at An Event Apart in Seattle, WA 2012 Peter-Paul Koch talked about touch support in mobile browsers and how to handle touch events in web development. Includes a ranking of current mobile browsers; interaction modes in mobile versus desktop (mouse) and keyboard — how do we adjust scripts to work with touch?; touch events; supporting modes; event cascade; and "stick with click."
Mobile to the Future – Luke Wroblewski
Alas, Luke could not take notes on his own presentation. Here's what it was about: When something new comes along, it's common for us to react with what we already know. Radio programming on TV, print design on web pages, and now web page design on mobile devices. But every medium ultimately needs unique thinking and design to reach its true potential. Through an in-depth look at several common web interactions, Luke outlined how to adapt existing desktop design solutions for mobile devices and how to use mobile to expand what's possible across all devices.Instead of thinking about how to reformat your websites to fit mobile screens, attendees learned to see mobile as way to rethink the future of the web.
What's Your Problem? – Whitney Hess
In her What's Your Problem? Putting Purpose Back into Your Projects talk at An Event Apart in Seattle, WA 2012 Whitney Hess outlined the value of learning about opportunities directly from customers. Understand the problem before designing the solution. Ask why before you figure out how. There is no universal solution for all our projects, we need to determine which practices are "best" through our understanding of problems. Our reliance on best practices is creating a world of uniform websites that solve no one's problem. Leave the desk and interact with people. Rather than the problem solver, be the person who can see the problem.
Properties of Intuitive Pages
- Jared Spool
At An Event Apart in Seattle WA 2012, Jared Spool walked through what makes a design intuitive, why some users need different treatment, and the role of design. Current versus acquired knowledge and how to bridge the gap (how to train users, thus making your site or app "intuitive"). Redesigns and how to avoid disaster. Design skills. The gap between current knowledge and target knowledge is where design happens. Why intuitive design is only possible in small, short iterations.
Day III begins in 90 minutes. See some of you there.

Dell's Software Binge Continues
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Dell Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL) is one of the most recognizable hardware companies in the PC space but has recently turned its attention toward conquering software and services. On March 5, the company appointed John Swainson as the head of their newly formed software group and began acquiring software companies at a breakneck pace. The company has already acquired multiple software companies and the pace has accelerated with three acquisitions coming this week. In the past months Dell has acquired an array of software companies including:
- AppAssure – provides backup software for cloud, virtualization, and physical infrastructure
- Clerity Solutions – modernizes applications and moves them off existing infrastructures
- Make Technology – updates applications, modernizes code, and seeks to cut maintenance costs
- SonicWall – makes firewall and security software
- Wyse Technology – specializes in desktop virtualization allowing remote access to applications and documents stored on a remote server
All five recent acquisitions have a connecting thread: the cloud. Together they give Dell the ability to sell a company an entire array of services designed to update their infrastructure and move it safely to the cloud.
The increased spending highlights a remark from Dell CFO Brian Gladden, who in February pointed out a need for increased R&D spending and that some of it would come in the form of asset acquisition. R&D has been a weak point of Dell's, particularly when compared to two of its biggest competitors, Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) and IBM (NYSE: IBM):
- IBM spends about 6 percent of revenue on R&D
- HP spent 2.6 percent of revenue on R&D in the quarter ended Jan. 31
- Dell spent just 1.5 percent of revenue on R&D for the year and just 1% the previous year
Though the specifics of the recent acquisitions have yet to be made public, it is safe to assume the increased spending will expand overall R&D for software and services.
Dell isn't in dire straits, but the new direction can boost the company's bottom line in two ways: greater access to a high-growth market and another selling point for their existing hardware. Even though global PC shipments declined last year and are expected to have tepid growth through 2016, server revenue growth has been a bright spot for Dell. In Q4 of 2011 global server sales fell 5.4 percent, but Dell managed to pick up additional revenue and market share. Anything else that strengthens their performance is welcome, particularly in light of the recent decline in PC sales. Added revenue from software will add much-needed growth and has the bonus of being independent of hardware sales.
Rival IBM underwent a similar shift toward service and software and may serve as a blueprint for Dell's new strategy, though it is unlikely Dell will get rid of their bread and butter consumer line. It is worth noting that even though IBM has put a bigger emphasis on software, its server business has thrived. IBM shipped the third most servers in 2011 and managed to hold the number one spot in server revenue. This indicates IBM is avoiding price competition, which may be due to the value added by its software and services -- certainly an enticing prospect for Dell. Dell's shift from being just a hardware company was spurred by the higher margins offered by software and services; expanding margins in its server line would be an added bonus.
The company has struggled in the fastest growing portion of computing -- the mobile market. Mobile computing has displaced traditional PC sales in some cases, leading some to label it the end of the PC era, which doesn't bode well for Dell. Dell hasn't had much success, discontinuing several failed efforts, but the company hasn't given up completely. Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows 8 is due later this year and could prove to be the catalyst Dell needs in mobile. Dell's CEO Michael Dell has said previously that he believes Windows 8 will be the best chance to compete with Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and its iPad. The iPad dominates the consumer space, but has been less successful in the business. An enterprise-focused tablet from Dell has the potential to be a real revenue driver, particularly if Windows 8 lives up to expectations. Dell could leverage its newly purchased cloud expertise into a corporate tablet that is tailor-made to work with its cloud infrastructure, which could easily be a major selling point. It could as easily become an add-on to their existing products, offering an additional revenue stream and another point of differentiation for their products.
Despite their recent software binge, Dell remains a PC company and that's ok. The PC isn't dead yet and Dell's recent actions are putting it in a position to reach beyond its PC roots. As I pointed out earlier, Dell's acquisitions have had a cloud-focused tilt, which should pay dividends in the long run. Cloud computing remains a high-growth area and embracing it is a positive for Dell. The only drawback is the increased competition, but Dell has performed well in the face of competition before. The recent acquisitions should go a long way toward establishing Dell's software group and gives it the potential to become a significant revenue driver.

Goodbye Rio, Hello Buenos Aires!
After visiting Buenos Aires two years ago and having one of the best experiences of my life, I decided that this trip would grant me the perfect opportunity to return. This is really a Brazil trip, but a weekend in Buenos Aires was not only a complete indulgence, but a great idea.
The flight from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires is about three hours. This weekend, as you will quickly notice in my upcoming posts, was action packed and full of wonderful street art.

The present invention deals with the certain castor polyesters which give high gloss when applied to the skin. The ester are the reaction of the hydroxyl group of castor oil with less than one equivalent of a fatty acid then in a subsequently step the remainder of an equivalent of a diacid.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention deals with the use of certain novel polyesters which are prepared by the sequential reaction of castor oil with isostearic acid to provide an intermediate that is subsequently esterified with a diacid to provide a polyester. In addition, the present invention describes a process for providing gloss to the skin which comprises application of an effective glossing concentration of this polyester. 2. Description of the Art Practices There is a desire to develop an ester that gives gloss to the skin when applied from oils or applied from emulsions. An added aspect of the present invention is the fact that the compounds are polymeric. This has two very important implications on the use of the materials of the present invention. The polymeric nature means the compounds do not penetrate the skin. The fact that these molecules remain on the skin, increases gloss and provides a less irritation to the skin. They also provide a gloss that is more long lasting. U.S. Pat. No. 5,786,389 issued Jul. 1998 to O'Lenick, incorporated herein by reference, describes the use of a guerbet ester of castor for gloss. The compounds are a simple ester made by the reaction of castor and a specific mono functional alcohol to produce an ester. The products of this patent are neither polymeric, nor do they involve reaction of the hydroxyl group in the castor molecule. We have discovered that higher gloss, lower irritation and better durability of gloss results when one makes the polymers of the present invention. Until the compounds of the present invention polyesters did not give a sufficient gloss when applied to the skin. None of the prior esters possess the critical combination of branching and the polymeric composition unique to castor. THE INVENTION This invention relates to a series of polyester compounds derived from castor oil. Castor oil, a hydroxy containing oil, can be esterified with a fatty acid to produce an intermediate having both an ester and triglyceride functionality. By selecting the ratios of reactants, the castor can be a partially substituted with fatty acid leaving some unreacted hydroxyl groups. The number of remaining hydroxyl groups, and the type and concentration of diacid used to react with the unreacted hydroxyl groups, results in a controllable polyester. The control of molecular weight and degree of polymerization is critical to functionality of the product. The unique structure of castor oil coupled with the proper selection of the fatty acid and diacid chosen to make the polyester results in a product that has unique gloss when applied to skin. One of the unique aspects of the present invention is the fact that the reaction to make an ester is conducted on the castor hydroxyl group, not the triglyceride group. Another unique aspect of the present reaction is the selection of a proper mole ratio to leave unreacted hydroxyl groups present in each triglyceride to crosslink the product, providing a polyester. Specifically, the present invention discloses novel polyesters and a process for providing gloss to the skin which comprises application of an effective glossing concentration of an polyester conforming to the following structure: A--(B)x-A wherein A is: ##STR1## ##STR2## wherein; the linking group between all of the O-- are succinyl groups conforming to the following structure --C(O)--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --C(O)--; R is selected from alkyl and alkylene having 5 to 33 carbon atoms; x is an integer ranging from 1 to 50. In a simple case where x is 1 the following polymer results: ##STR3## By varying the ratio of fatty acid more of the hydroxyl group is left. In the case of the "A" unit, two of the three hydroxyl groups on the castor oil are reacted, leaving only one group left to react. In the case of the "B" units two hydroxyl groups are left to react. In making a one pot synthesis, the total number of acid groups is calculated any reacted in the first step with the castor oil, followed by the reaction of the remaining hydroxyl groups with diacid. In some instances it is desirable to leave some unreacted hydroxyl groups in the polymer. PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In a preferred embodiment x is an integer ranging from 3 to 5. In a preferred embodiment x is an integer ranging from 5 to 10. In a preferred embodiment R is alkylene having 11 to 21 carbon atoms. In a preferred embodiment R is alkyl having 7 to 10 carbon atoms. In a preferred embodiment R is alkylene having 17 carbon atoms. EXAMPLES Raw Materials Castor Oil Castor oil is a unique triglyceride. It is derived from Ricinus Communis L. The castor plant grows wild in many subtropical and tropical areas. Today Brazil, China and India provide over 90% of the oil. Castor oil contains a large content of hydroxy containing compounds that are unsaturated. The common name for the predominant species in castor is ricinoleic acid. More correctly it is called 12-hydroxy-9 octadecenoic acid or d-12-hydroxyoleic acid. The acid conforms to the following structure: CH.sub.3 --(CH.sub.2).sub.5 --CH(OH)--CH.sub.2 --CH.dbd.CH--(CH.sub.2).sub.7 --C(O)--OH Castor Oil is a clear, viscous, light colored fluid that is nondrying and quite stable. The Purity of Castor Oil occurs with remarkable uniformity. Regardless of country of origin, or season it is grown, the composition and chemical properties remain within a very narrow range. Castor Oil has a CAS Number of 8001-79-4 and an EINECS Number of 232-293-8. Castor oil has a unique carbon distribution, which has 18 carbon atoms and one double bond. The concentration of that species is about 90% by weight. It is this ricinoleic moiety that when linked to a guerbet alcohol in an ester gives unique gloss when applied to the skin. Ricinoleic acid has the unusual property of having both a double bond, that results in a specific conformation of the "kinked carbon chain" placing the hydroxyl group in a locked position. While not professing only one mechanism of action, it is believed that the introduction of the polar guerbet branched portion of the molecule results in an ester that has a great deal of branching. The molecule takes on a conformation having the minimum free energy. That conformation places the polar hydroxyl groups from different molecules into an associative complex. This complex is delivered to the skin either neat or in emulsions giving a great deal of gloss that is durable. There are many cosmetic applications in which gloss is desirable.
Fatty Acids Fatty Acids are items of commerce, available in pure form and in mixtures. one of manufacturer offering a very wide range of products of high quality is Cognis, formerly Henkel Corporation. Fatty acids have common names. They also have a commonly used shorthand used to describe them. The designation is a letter "C" and a number indicating the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. If no additional information is offered the product is saturated. If a ":" follows and a number after it the product has the specified number of double bonds in the molecule. Consequently, C6 is a saturated six carbon fatty acid. C12:1 is a 12 carbon fatty acid having one double bond.

Ibrahimovic after hearing Beckham would donate his PSG wages to a childrens charity, this guy is too funny! >>>
Following David Beckham's announcement upon signing a five-month contract with PSG that he will donate his entire salary to a Parisian children's charity, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has announced that he will donate all of his wages to himself. "I heard Beckham's decision and it made me think" "Who is most deserving of all of the money that I, Zlatan, am paid? The answer is Zlatan." "The children of Paris are not leading Ligue 1 in goals this season. I am. I have 20 goals. The next best players have 12. Twelve!" "If anything, the children of Paris should be giving me even more money for having the privilege of being in the same city as my incredible quality. And so should David Beckham. Call it a Zlaritable donation." via @bigjohnterry (www.twitter.com/bigjohnterry)

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- Two Collier County deputies, accused of using excessive force during this arrest of a motorcyclist in October of last year, have been cleared of any wrongdoing.
At the time, deputies tried to pull over Mateo Falconi for speeding in North Naples. They say he fled on his motorcycle, at speeds over 100 miles per hour, until he came to a dead end.
The takedown was captured on dash cam. The video shows Falconi stepping off his motorcycle and putting his hands in the air. Deputy Robert Lewis and Corporal Robert Palmer shouted for Falconi to get on the ground, and say they believed he was going to flee so they punched Falconi in the chest.
Falconi said he never tried to run, and shouldn't have been tazed and beat up. Falconi was charged with fleeing and felony marijuana possession.
In July, he failed to show up in court and immigration officials believe he left the country.
The deputies, who also used several expletives during the arrest, received training on how to better communicate with the public.

AMC Theatres Bans Masks, Fake Weapons
AMC Theatres has no plans of canceling screenings of The Dark Knight Rises this weekend following the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado, but will ban customers from wearing face-covering masks, carrying fake weapons and offensive costumes.
Below is the complete statement from AMC via their Facebook page:
AMC Theatres is deeply saddened by the Aurora tragedy. Movie going is part of our social fabric and this senseless act shakes us to our core. We're reinforcing our security procedures with our theatre teams, which we cannot discuss in detail for obvious, safety reasons. Local law enforcement agencies, our landlords and their and our local security teams are stepping up nationwide to ensure we provide the safest environment possible for our guests. We couldn't be more grateful for their collective support.
At this time, our show schedules circuit-wide will not change. We will not allow any guests into our theatres in costumes that make other guests feel uncomfortable and we will not permit face-covering masks or fake weapons inside our buildings. If guests wish to exchange or refund any tickets, we will honor our existing policy and do as our guests wish. We are taking necessary precautions to ensure our guests who wish to enjoy a movie this weekend can do so with as much peace of mind as possible in these circumstances.

It's hard to believe Nicole Kidman has been on the big screen for two decades. Especially when at 43, she hardly seems to have aged at all.
The actress was radiant at a recent Hollywood luncheon – her alabaster skin and curly auburn tresses harking back to the look she favoured when she first rose to fame in her 20s.
Long gone is the lighter, straight-haired style she used to favour, replaced by face-framing soft curls.

Color Suggestions for Tudor Revival Front Door?
Good Questions
Q: Attached are a few photos of our 1925 Tudor Revival in Omaha, Nebraska. The house is located in the historic Gold Coast neighborhood and we have lived in the house since 2006. We are not crazy about the color of the home, but a complete paint job is not in our immediate budget.
Several years ago, our newspaper carrier broke a pane in our storm door. We replaced the glass but have not repainted as we wanted to change the color of the storm and regular door. Any suggestions to what would look best??

Editor: Please share your color suggestions with Joyce in the comments below - thanks!

how about a sky blue or turquoise? yellow might also be nice
With all of that mauve (that's what it looks like on my computer), I'd stick with a neutral beige, or go shiny black.
How about a dark red, with brownish tones on the outside front door....and a lighter red, not bright, but maybe like a red seen on an old barn...on the inside door?
How about a deep navy blue in semi-gloss. It would be a perfect compliment both in color and 'texture'.
I'd suggest cooling things down with a mid-tone grey, one that will imitate the greys in the roof (although I know that technically it's brown) and the cement around the bricks. Paint isn't THAT expensive, so why not paint whatever is mauve a light grey? That's a precious house!
You have so many wood elements on the house, and all of them seem to be painted to match. I'd probably think twice about changing the colour of the door unless you also change a couple of the other wood portions of the house as well.
Maybe this site can give you some direction:
i vote for black doors and borders. i think black will beautifully frame the house. :D
Yellow!! good combination with front wall and with the round window of the internal door. Painting black the "417" number of course "and center it please"
I know you said there's not much in the budget but if you were to replace the tile on the front landing to a very dark grey and paint the door the same color. It would make a real statement and say 'Here's my front door, come on in!'
Very dark charcoal would pick up on the dark grey in some of the bricks, as would black. Time for some photoshop play.
@tinos - beige is never the answer! I think you really need contrast, I think a dark blue would look good. I think you should paint the window frames the same colour as the storm door, and paint the main door a contrasting colour (maybe white or even ivory).
Oh this is so familiar. I know that neighborhood and we have lots of those in Des Moines. I would consider matching that darker row of bricks in the arch around the doorway but definitely contrast later by painting those panels in the roof peak. If you want to contrast and really do a statement color consider pulling some color from your stained glass window. Are there two, in the living room flanking a fireplace? Don't cover them so light goes thru during the day and people can see the matchy matchy!
I think because you are intending to only paint the front door (and not necessarily the other wood features of the house) i would suggest classic black. I've seen it done traditionally in dark green as well but think black is more sophisticated. Black also ties into ironwork that looks great with the style of house.
If you eventually do want to paint all of the mauve, you'll have to choose a color that will work throughout.
I like the idea of a black door, but black all over would seem very dark. A fire engine red, mustard yellow, or dark heather gray would provide a burst of color, and not be too overbearing if you painted the rest of the mauve.
I agree with a few of the earlier posters. I would definitely go grey, there would be a few options but a darker grey would be the way to go
oops upon looking at the brighter pics of the house I think a mid tone grey might be even better than a dark grey
Grey would look very nice, border the door and the glass bits to visually seperate the storm door from the inside door. Something like this <img src="http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac167/shixa/For%20others/c2_rect540.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> (forgive the excess grey on the house, I was just having too much fun)
Keep it simple.
I disagree, ErikTheRed. White would be a stark contrast and "classic" but isn't really a burst of creative color. And it would also be a problem in the winter. As you can see from the third photo, if all of the trim were white, you'd barely see any house!
I agree with Idontdobegie Dark blue was my first thought when I looked at the picture.
Definitely consider what colors you would choose if you were to paint everything. Tudors usually are marked by dark wood trim and a light contrasting paint color in between. I'd love to see your house with a dark brown wood and maybe yellow or cream paint in between.
I know paint isn't expensive, but if repainting the mauve isn't something you can do yourself, it certainly won't be a cheap project. So I completely understand the need to do the work in stages. I would most definitely paint the rest of the mauve eventually, and I think the suggestions to look at greys for that are on point. Grey will work with your roofing and brick colour.
For your front door, I like the suggestion of a deep, rich navy. I think black or grey would also be nice. A navy, black, or grey door could still work if you did go the grey route when you repaint the rest of the mauve. But if you wanted to switch it to something more dramatic then, it wouldn't be a huge expense to do so because painting your front door is likely something you'll be doing yourself. So rather than worrying too much about that now, I'd feel free to pick something you like with the house in its current state. And again, I think dark navy, black, or grey are solid options.
I really like that mauve color with the bricks, but the door and trim really need to pop...I'd go with a deeper tone of mauve/burgundy (darker than the one that's there now). Or perhaps a navy blue for more contrast?
I agree with the sky blue or turquoise of the first suggestion. That was my first instinct when looking at the pictures. I think it will brighten up the house and add a little life!
I like the idea of navy or dark blue. Your house is beautiful, by the way!
Looking at the image of the house in whole, I keep coming back to one of the most pleasing combinations there: the red/pink tones of the brick and trim against the spring greens of the ivy and the budding trees. If a full paint job isn't an option, I'd try to echo the surroundings (and choose colors that might be original to the house) by painting the inner door a 1930s green, either something like this:
...or a lighter shade in the celadon/jadeite family, and do the outer door a cream color, leaving the black hardware (I'd replace the house numbers with larger black ones).
I would definitely go with a mid-tone gray. Since the mauve is going to stay (for the time being) on the rest of the house a gray door would give you some contrast but also compliment what you're stuck with.
I know you are asking about what color to paint the door, but how about stripping the paint and just staining and applying some poly. My wife and I have a 1928 Tudor in Atlanta and we did this and the door looks great. Just a thought.
I always thought that with a front door, there are no rules about color. A front door can and should be whatever color you like (your favorite). Don't worry about matching or coordinating anything. It will look great no matter which you choose.
Fixing the steps would do more for your house than repainting the door. I can't tell if tile is missing, or what. Don't get me wrong, I think your house is charming. But something like that right at the front door really takes away from its appearance.
I understand that painting the entire place isn't an option, but I feel that whatever you do to the front door will only make the areas you don't address look worse. The trim and corbels need help as does the brick veneer on the step. That being said, I think a very dark glossy charcoal would be great.
Stripping and staining the door should be an option as well. The stained door would be more in line with the architectural style of the house and would also highlight the wrought iron detail.
Larger black address numbers placed on the brick would be a good addition...they're hard to see so low on the door.
You've got a great looking place that only needs a little TLC! Good luck!
I wouldn't use anything in the red family. It's going to look more like a mistake next to the burgundy. I think a nice deep green in a high gloss would look lovely.
i thought of black, yellow, white...but that's too contrasting.
Light grey would be nice. it contrasts with the reds around it but not too bold whilst matching the greys in the roof.
Good luck!
That great little stained-glass window to the left of the door looks as though it could give a good source of colors...also, consider more contrast between the tones: none of the colors are emphatically deeper than each other, which is what is giving the "blah" feel.
Deep, bright green.
First instinct told me to yell out, "YELLOW!"
I'd replace the old address letters and perhaps
paint them on the rectangular portion of the door underneath where they are now.
I meant numbers.
What about a deep dark chocolate brown or espresso?
I agree with several commenters, My first thought was blue. I first would choose a grey-blue, and secondly would be a navy.
dark glossy navy
I would remove the storm door completely. It looks like the door underneath has some interesting features that will always be hidden. What a shame!
Then I would paint the main door hunter green, black or dark charcoal.
The only colors that look right on Tudors are deep, dark, earthy colors:
Black, Dark Green, Dark Burgundy or Dark Brown.
You paint that door white, yellow or turquoise and you'll be the joke of the neighborhood.
A mid tone gray looks great in photoshop (sorry I don't know have a place to post a pic right now) but I did both the front door and the screen or storm door in gray and it looked really very nice. I also tried it in more of a dusty deep blue gray and that may be even better, esp. if you added a similar toned planter or two outside and paint the numbers black to match door hardware and center them.
Whew, it's hard for me to move past that mauve to figure out something that would work with it, but I agree with a lot of people here that a charcoal or a dark blue-grey would be nice. The mauve makes everything so monotone that I don't think you want to go with something that reads similarly to the brick. I think you need a contrast. I don't think you should go to a yellow or a light blue, though, because it won't play well with the mauve. Think about what you want to do in the end, color wise, and try to pick a door that will work both now and while you paint the final color. Of course, painting the door again won't be a big deal compared to the rest of the house, when you are able to get to that stage.
Actually, you could paint the door a cream color and it would pop out and draw attention away from the mauve. Plus, there would be a nice contrast to show off the beautiful door hardware. Then, you could paint the plaster cream, and while it wouldn't be ideal, it would provide a more appropriate medieval contrast without having to get to painting all of the house, trim, and woodwork. As you can see in this photo, brick red is a traditional color for the wood on houses like this in Europe, and here's one that even has pink. It's the contrast that sells it.
I think you should wait until you can paint the whole house. After all, you've already managed to get by for the past few years. What's a couple more?
If you must paint, I support the vote for navy blue.
I think a blue-gray too, especially after looking at Gaidig's second link. That looks nice together, with pop but also still traditional.
WOW-I am thrilled with all the suggestions. I will say that the really bad brick stoop was ripped out and replaced right after we moved in. It was awful!!!
That colour is outrageous! Is it "dusty rose"?!
I agree always with glossy black but for your house I'm seeing a super dark purple. Really.
It would look so fun for now and could also look more traditional if you go more traditional with the paintwork later.
Your house is beautiful- you should be very proud.
You need a contrast against the brick and red. A really pretty warm teal color will look great.
I think you could re-paint the painted areas for under $200. Seriously. I'd paint them back to the original white/brown and do the door in something neutral. This mauve is offensive.
Macbeth is right....
Strip the paint and refinish in a dark stain... i would go for a darker shade of oak.
I always describe the color as "pinkish brownish" and I hate it. The house next door is the same color. They had them painted at the same time. It is totally offensive. I agree.
Colours that *pop* do not look good on a neo-traditional house such as yours, so I would stick with the traditional door colour fandeck.
If you paint your door, it should be a high gloss paint finish; right now, your door is covered with matte paint, and it looks unwelcoming and does not fit with the handsome architecture of your home. Check out the kit made by Fine Paints of Europe -- it is excellent, and the colour selection is great. Green (Dutch Door Green on the fandeck) is a popular Tudor Revival door colour.
However, I have to agree with what a couple of earlier posters have already said -- painting the door will only serve to highlight how inappropriately the rest of your house is painted. Given the extent of brick on your front facade, you really don't have that much to paint -- just trim, and a relatively small area of half-timbering. Dealing with the eventual colour of the trim and half-timbering will help you decide on a door colour. Traditionally, and most appropriately, the timbers are painted a dark brown, which is very naturalistic. The stucco part is usually white, off-white or cream, or some other lighter colour. Occasionally, you see a more modern palette -- shades of sage for example -- but classic is, well, classic, and doesn't date.
And often, the front door in such a traditional approach would be natural wood. So I agree with an earlier poster about stripping your door, and seeing if you have wood that is nice enough to present just varnished. (and yes, please don't keep the storm door).
Darling house!
Vancouver Heritage Foundation developed a paint palette for early 1900s houses on the west coast with Benjamin Moore. The palette includes traditional colours used for Tudors: http://www.vancouverheritagefoundation.org/truecolourspalette.html
I have a digital copy if you're interested or contact the Vancouver Heritage Foundation for a physical copy.
Not that color!! Anything but the mauve!
Seriously, I think any of the darker votes are on the right track, and I especially like the idea of green. Paint all the trim and it will be beautiful.
deep, glossy eggplant
Our tudor built in the '20s was redone in red brick, tan painted shingles, and a turquoise front door and accent trim (w/ a little bit of cream). Looks dynamite and stands out from the other tudors on the street.
Oh dear, the poor thing looks like it's been skinned.
love your house.
i think the door color has to take into account your eventual plans for the other needed painting....however far off that work is.
i'm kind of a traditionalist with tudors - fond childhood memories.
i'd go gloss forest green for the door (and eventually the window trim). that would work with your existing palette until you can go an off-white to putty gray (a little more modern) for the plaster and a deep brown or steely gray for the woodwork and gutters.
very muted olive to sage-y green, and gloss navy blue on the door.
Lovely house.

Teen editorial from Jamaica: 'Children have rights, too. Protect them!'
August 25, 2009 by gargorama
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jamaica has been subject to human rights criticisms in regards to our level of intolerance for sexual diversity, poor rehabilitation facilities, an overburdened and inefficient judicial system, human security and the continued impunity of police officers and state representatives who commit crimes.
Two decades ago (1989), world leaders made a historic agreement through the Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC), which acknowledges that governments, caregivers and stakeholders must respect, promote and fulfil the rights of all children within the society.
Internationally, this was the first instrument to incorporate civil, cultural, economic, political and social human rights. The convention outlined the rights of each and every child to survival; to develop to the fullest; to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation; and to participate fully in family, cultural and social life.
Tragedy reveals dire situation
The tragedy which occurred on May 22 at the Armadale Juvenile Correctional Centre in St. Ann, where seven girls died and others were injured in a fire, has subsequently indicated gross negligence on the part of the authorities to sufficiently execute a duty of care owed to the occupants of this facility. This has intensified the debate on the status of children's homes and other state institutions.
The conditions under which the girls were reportedly placed to live are quite disheartening. The fact that security guards were allegedly unaware of the existence of fire extinguishers at the facility and were never engaged in a fire drill on property or during their training is alarming.
The unsanitary conditions which the occupants had to contend with, including prohibitions from using the bathroom at nights as there were limited correctional officers, highlights chronic deficiencies. The tragedy reveals a dire need for the protection of children's rights in such institutions, to aid in the realisation of their basic needs and the expansion of their opportunities to reach their full potential.
Progress and challenges
Jamaica has made significant strides in recognising children's rights by ratifying the CRC in 1991 and passing the Child Care and Protection Act of 2004. While this is commendable, significant efforts and far more work must be done to ensure laws, policies and programmes articulate that we are serious and committed to building a prudent, protective and enabling environment for the development of all our children.
The extent to which the Government and caregivers are held accountable to a child in relation to the Armadale tragedy is highlighted in Article 3.3 of the CRC, which encourages State parties to "ensure that the institutions, services and facilities responsible for the care or protection of children shall conform with the standards established by competent authorities, particularly in the areas of safety, health, in the number and suitability of their staff, as well as competent supervision."
Article 6 further states that "(1) State parties recognise that every child has the inherent right to life and (2) shall ensure to the maximum extent possible the survival and development of the child."
'Children's rights are human rights'
Therefore, the State and relevant stakeholders have a responsibility to pay keen attention to the physical conditions of children's homes, employ and train professionals who can provide the kind of social care and protection children need, ensure all wards are enrolled in an educational institution and provide the necessary recreational services needed for the child's physical, spiritual, mental, moral and social development.
As young people, we must recognise the important role we play in good governance. We must encourage and make public officials accountable to children and youth, thereby ensuring that our rights are protected and advanced.
Our nation is in a serious state of ignorance and selfishness where too many of us young people are consumed with our own success and care little for the development of our country. Take responsibility for your growth and development by being positive models for other young people to follow. And on issues affecting youth, protest orderly and let your voice be heard until the Government and policymakers begin to not just pay attention but more importantly to do something about our concerns as young people.
We must sensitise all Jamaicans about the importance of children's rights. We must raise awareness that children's rights are human rights. As UNICEF emphasises, "children's rights are not special rights, but rather the fundamental rights inherent to the human dignity of all people".
