Improving KDE Public Relations
There is a general consensus that the KDE project, despite its technical superiority among various desktop environments, has had a poor PR record, especially in North America. Now that the release has been delayed a week or so, let's take this opportunity on dot.kde.org to present and share ideas that will help the KDE PR and marketing efforts. Just to get us started, here's one idea which I mentioned to Mosfet:
I just looked at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Incoming/gnome.png. (This is actually what reminded me of KDE's poor public relations and advertising record compared to the competition.) If KDE can be configured to
Look, now that KDE is totally (L)GPL compatible (ok, for some of us there was never a real
If this has already been discussed somewhere, then I missed it. Any way, given all of the work that has gone into KDE2, not to mention the great configurability that has been developed, it should be advertised LOUDLY and decisively immediately upon release (links to screenshots, etc). The excuse that "Well, uhh, I chose <insert name of competition here> because it looks cooler man" can and should be put to rest once and for all.
The above is meant to provoke ideas and general discussion about KDE PR. The release delay gives the PR team (who are they anyway?) an extra week to get things together. After all of the experience of the past, we have no excuse to not get it right this time. There may never be as crucial an advertising moment for KDE as with this KDE 2.0 release.
Thank goodness they dropped the KDE2 1.x idea, or we'd be in REAAAL trouble.

"little lesson on marketing"
2) tell them THEIR benefits of using your product (this has usualy nothing to to with the great technical capabilities of KDE)
2.1) much more technical stuff (dcop, io, mcop, artsd, technical details on integration.)
2.2) differences to windoze (stability, speed, cost...) - someone mentioned the well know comparison lists.
2.3) IMHO most difficult target group. What apps are provided, and what the user can do (and what not!!! still a considerable incompatibility to MS-world) avoid all abrevations like css,ssh....
So IMHO KDE needs (at least?) three specific PR-lines.
Forget (yes!) about all the great utilities - no one (almost ;-) will install KDE2 only because of its utilities.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
Whether or not it is stooping depends entirely upon how it is presented. If you are discussing customizability, and mention it is so customizable that you can make it even look like the "competition" and show a pic to prove it, that is good. But if you go off saying that you've incorporated features that allow you to mimic the style and feel of another interface, that comes across as sleezy. Don't include the libraries, icons, or anything out of gnome as i've seen suggested. The widget set, and maybe the fundamental images that make up the environment would be ok, but beyond that, it does look bad to a certain extent, depending mostly on the person using it. I know I would have no problem with it, while other people I know would. Also, include tons and tons and tons of themes :)

Re: Improving KDE PR -- public perceptions matter!
I'm one of those... um... Debian users, and I've been giving KDE a work out since it was added to the official mirrors. I like KDE, have always liked it since using it with for example Mandrake or the Corel version :^) on some systems I've installed for others. I'm dying to see Konqueror get to the point where it's my default browser (at this point, the Debian packages haven't stabilized yet).
Publicity is *very* much needed for KDE. Gnome has Red Hat to stump for it, and now The Foundation. I think the "figurehead" comment is a very astute one. KDE has no de facto figurehead like Linus or Miguel. Such a central person really makes PR much easier and more effective.
But my main comment is something that jumped out at me right away when I read this article. Please don't take this as a flame, I surely don't mean it as one. But if any "official KDE" people say in a public forum that "KDE is technically superior to the other desktop environments," that statement is likely to backfire.
It's one thing to be proud of the work you've done or to show off all the good things it can do. But it's quite another to say this in the wrong way, where it can easily be taken as a boast. Boasting can be very detrimental to PR because it turns lots of people off. If this gets taken as "We're better than all the rest of you," it's a very elitist message.
There is a strong need to be inclusionary. So far KDE has very much been so. Just make sure that a few misspoken words don't confuse people into thinking KDE is a snobbish, unfriendly project.

From what I've read the Gnome developers get plenty of flack from KDE bigots, and vice versa. It's a two-way street, and all that energy is wasted in the flames. No?

If you support the logic that two wrongs make a right, yes. I don't think that logic is valid myself.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
I first used KDE in 1996 because a friend of mine told me about it (it was still an alpha version then if I recall correctly).
For great PR, there needs to be a PR team in each country promoting the product so that each campaign can be tailored for specific markets.
This need not be an expensive operation, but dates and events (not to mention websites) need to be co-ordinated.
Feedback on KDE (opinions, discussions on various BBS etc) needs to be monitored by a central committee, so that the developers can be informed about what the users are asking for or appreciating.
I would suggest something like http://www.mozillazine.org, which is a useful site taking feedback on all aspects of Mozilla and providing and 'unofficial' voice on developments.
I hope this helps.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
Well, I generally think that the PR about KDE should be much more improved. We did a lot during the year on exhibitions all over Germany and we´re still doing, but the net could use some more especially after Qt going GPL.
For me personally, it´s not only KDevelop where I´m programming but the success of KDE as a whole where I only see KDevelop disconnected from the train when it comes to the KDE core developer usage (no claim to make KDevelop the choice for everyone here ;-)and our own time frame as we started much later than KDE did.
But I think we´re doing such a great job by what we get to know from attendants at the expos - and we could improve that a lot with more speeches, more news send out to the media, people placed publically with their success story to participate on KDE - in opposition to only having one face for KDE as there is none. The current interview series "people behind KDE" is a good start for that IMHO.
My experience: In my speeches on Expos, I´m thinking more in terms of "selling" our stuff to the people although it doesn´t cost them anything. But they are hungry enough to get it if you actually *show* what KDE does than wait for them asking what it can do for them.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
Concerning the image:
I did the icontheme to create this screenshot in about 15 minutes to test certain features of KDE2's new powerful icon-engine. Therefore it was *NOT* my major goal to create a perfect copy of Gnome (although it *IS* possible to create exact Gnome-look&feel using KDE2). I prefer the original look&feel of KDE2 though:
So I'm not really interested in improving the gnome-icon-theme. If somebody else wants to do it ... start here:
I would be happier though if people would create more icon-themes in addition.
Within the upcoming two months I'll work on new better application-icons for KDE2 (Mimetype-icons look quite perfect to me now), better folder-icons and Hicolor-versions of the small 16x16-icons (the current ones are based on a 40-color-palette and might suck in the eyes of some people).

I suggest that we buy national domains (with kde prefix) all over the world. For example, I could buy www.kde.dk, and mirror kde.org site, and translate it to danish. It would be much easier for Danes to access, and to read kde news. I can easily find some people in Danmark who would like to share expensies connected with this.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
Firstly, I think it's great that KDE is starting to recognize the need to be pro-active in the PR dept. I also like the idea that you can push real stuff not vapourware.
Let's be real. You don't have the M$ PR budget. You are not the default desktop on the largest distro, SuSE is a good second thou. You will probably never be the hackers choice and nor should you try to be.
All is not lost :-)
You need to find large companies willing to commit to the KDE product. Hp, Compaq etc companies who have hardware, may have Linux, but companies that need office software and are willing to run KDE to get it.
The bullet points below are just some ideas to present your message.
o One central repository for all K stuff, this site is perfect for that. News should be published here first. Links to any mention of K stuff on the web be it /. or the London Times. Links to all K projects. Make sure the links are working, if not don't display them.
o One contact on each project for PR contact, doesn't have to be a developer, just someone who knows what's occuring and is able to talk to non-techie people. This might be the hardest role to fill on OS projects.
o Make sure you have many recent screenshots easily available on the websites, how long did it take for the KDE2 screenshots to be available, too damn long!
o _Monthly_ Digests of all KDE features/apps, at least KDE/KOFFICE/KDEVELOP I'm a developer and I had no idea Kdevelop existed until I started hunting around. Once the digests are up and running, make sure they get posted to the Linux news sites. Non Linux people will only be interested in big news, not the small stuff.
o You have a big release coming up, is this going to be reported in the mainstream IT press? Have you made sure all the distros are aware? Who is going to be the first distro to announce they're shipping KDE2?
o When Koffice is ready make sure the mainstream IT press is aware. Get yourself on the office software reviews, be compared to M$, Lotus, StarOffice, Applixware etc.
o Likewise get Konqeuror in the browser reviews.
o A box running KOffice with some connected Xterms is all that most small offices need, can you find a partner for this?
o Link to all articles about KDE, especially bad ones. In fact highlight the bad reviews and give either a refutation or a date when the problem will be resolved. Do stuff that M$ can't or will not.
o Find reference sites, who is using K stuff? How much, why etc. Not just single users but commercial sites, publish their details. the cost benefit of KDE/KOFFICE in a large company is huge. But they need to know you're here.

You have some nice ideas, but they are, AFAICT, total vaporware. Which of your ideas are you planning on implementing?
Face it, nobody's going to follow your instructions. Things only get improved in an open-source project if someone does it. Why don't you help, pick one of your list items and implement it? Maybe you can do the monthly digest?
By Usquebaugh who? at Thu, 2000/10/12 - 5:00am
Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
Of course they're vapourware the original poster was looking for new ideas!
How do I go about implementing my ideas? Most of them require the use of this website. I can submit links but that's no good if there isn't someone putting the links up and co-ordinating the submissions.
I cannot be the PR contact as I have neither the people skills or the backing of the dev team. Likewise, I have no role on the dev team so how do I do the digest?
3rd party liasons, oh like they're going to listen to me.
The only way I can help is with questions and comments to mainstream press. Well gee I'm already doing that, not just for KDE. But I'm not part of the team so I sure can't speak for them.
The whole focus of my ideas was that you need to foster favourable PR.

Hackers choice

Why? I consider myself as hacker (I event get money for hacking) and I use KDE as my major Desktop, although I also use GNOME and would install xfce on slower machines.

Re: Hackers choice
The dev team has a limited amount of resources.
So the hacker market is small if vocal. As you confirm it's not a loyal market.
Spend the time making KDE more appealing to the enterprise clients. If a market is created for KDE developers then more people will develop for KDE.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
I think the reason KDE is having so much trouble is simple. KDE is *not* vastly superior to GNOME. It may be a little better in some respects, but it's not overwhelmingly better. Most things KDE can do, GNOME can do too. And if not right now, GNOME will do them in the near future. So the feature fight is a moot point.
I think concentrating on features misses the point. This struggle is about mind-share. It's not about who has the better office suit or smoother interface. Those things are irrelevant, because they are near-term advantages. The long term advantages come from massive mind share. Once you have hordes of developers supporting you, you will get everything, even if initially you didn't have some feature or whatnot. Plus, even if you lack some features, what will count in the end is over-all support, which is again mind share.
People gathered around Gnome, not because it's technically superior, but because 1) it was good enough and 2) it was in a good strategic position that was open for future growth. It's funny how important GPL is. What's funny is that even though GPL was invented to protect the consumer, it has an excellent side-effect of protecting big corporations too! GPL is even *more* important to a big corp, than to a small developer. A big corp needs assurances that it won't lose competitive advantage, and that the space won't get fragmented. And GPL does that. PR that.
Now that we're down to mind share, the issue is simple. KDE's license used to be simply unfair and dangerous to most developers out there. WHO wants to develop some software, if there is even a little chance of it become closed later on? Who wants to work hard in order for someone else to later close the software and benefit from your work? Very few. Sure, there is BSD. But why is BSD not winning the mind-share? It's the license. LICENSE MATTERS. No matter how technically superior the product is, if the license is unattractive to developers, it will lose in the free software world (in the corprorate world it doesn't have to lose if you have a significant financial clout).
Gnome may not be the best (altho it's darn good), but it has *succeeded* in attracting a lot more developers, and it will keep succeeding. Gnome from the get-go had an attractive license. If ppl contribute some code to Gnome, they have a peace of mind that no one can take advantage of them. This has been a huge factor in gathering a huge mass of developers around it, and that in turn creates a huge inertia/momentum. And we all know how critical this inertia is. Look at Microsoft. It has been providing inferior products for EVER, but it still dominates. That's market inertia at work.
KDE2 now has a better license, but it has lost critical momentum. Many developers have already commited to Gnome. Why should they switch, when they are in majority? There is safety in numbers. Even if KDE2 is 2x better, that's not a compelling reason to switch.
Since Linux is *not* a *desktop* OS, customers right now do *not* influence the desktop market. It is the developers. If/when linux becomes a desktop OS, then the casual customer will have an actual impact. Then the developer will think, "well Gnome has a bigger following and is safer now, but KDE2 has the customer base, and since I want to sell my product to customers, I want the biggest market..." and so on, and then KDE2 might have a chance. But even then, it will be at a disadvantage, because Gnome will have a head start with the broad support.
I think KDE2 could do better by being a closed-source product. You either open your source all the way, right away, or you better close the source and start charging money for it. There is no middle ground that will succeed in a major way (like gain majority acceptance).
I don't think KDE users have anything to worry about though. I think KDE2 is here to stay for a long time. It's not going to take over the world. No way. And it's not going to go away either. I think it will be a stalemate, like Emacs, X-Emacs. I little bit of positive noise (PR) can help KDE gain desktop consumers. I doubt they'll gain more developers than Gnome though. However, in the very far future, the desktop end-user might bring developers back to KDE, although not everyone. Mostly for-profit people, I think.

"KDE's license used to be simply unfair and dangerous to most developers out there. WHO wants to develop some software, if there is even a little chance of it become closed later on? Who wants to work hard in order for someone else to later close the software and benefit from your work?"
KDE's licensing problems were, AFAIK, never open vs. closed. KDE itself was GPL'd. The problem was the issue of possible license incompatabilities between KDE and Qt.
"But why is BSD not winning the mind-share? It's the license. LICENSE MATTERS. No matter how technically superior the product is, if the license is unattractive to developers, it will lose in the free software world (in the corprorate world it doesn't have to lose if you have a significant financial clout)."
The popularity of Linux as opposed to the *BSDs has probably more to do with the leadership and culture of the two projects, as well as the circumstances. i386 BSD was intended as a serious project, and like the free software projects of the time, including GNU, it was developed in a cathedral fashion. From what I can tell, Linus didn't think of Linux as a big deal, and he initially released Linux with the attitude that it was a fun thing that was starting to get good that he just thought he'd like to share. In effect, he invited people to hack on Linux, give feedback, and join him in some serious fun, and it snowballed from there.
I would say that KDE's licensing did make for some rocky PR, but not the way that you're thinking.

Please explain me, why do you think GNOME has attracted more developers. Or even better try to give some hard numbers.
From my point of view GNOME will not attract much C++ coders since KDE is by far superior on this field and the GNOME folks concentrate too much on C. In fact (AFAIK) there are a lot more people who like C++ much more than C. The C++ support for GNOME is IMHO not very good (friendly speaking). I had a look at KDE & GNOME before I decided to use KDE and I am very lucky with this decision, especially after reading this slashdot

The myth of KDE being older
KDE is a whooping 7 months or so older than GNOME.
That is, KDE is about to be 4 years old, while GNOME is 3.5!
Now, some GNOMer will tell you that KDE got a bigger headstart because we had a more mature toolkit. Well, if the toolkit made all that difference, GNOME should have cloned Qt, not KDE. Don't say we get an advantage because you choose the wrong path ;-)
Other than that: Ok, we DID (and do) have a better toolkit. But we did develop our own html widget, while GNOME ported ours. We started a file manager from scratch, while GNOME used mc (which was a very bad idea, apparently). We coded our own WM, while GNOME used E... which apparently turned out to be another bad idea, according to the enthusiasts of sawfish.
So, the pattern is that GNOME claims KDE has a lead because... KDE made better choices in things that saved KDE work. But then again, there are lots of things KDE did do that GNOME didn't. So not even that is true.
In short: KDE has a lead because KDE is better planned, and has a more solid choice of foundation blocks. And that difference is enough to make KDE be ahead even doing MORE than GNOME is.
GNOMers, quit whining, and start designing, coding, and engineering. You need it.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
Like many people I've tried both KDE and Gnome. I like KDE better because:
1. It's more stable
Making the most of these current things is important, but I'd also like to see some better PR for some of the upcoming things. Some of the projects coming out of http://www.thekompany.com/home/
Having said this, I think the one area where GNOME has the lead is in availability. helixcode.com has made it *stupidly* simple to not only download and install GNOME, but to keep it up 2 date! Not just the core stuff, but lots of utilities as well. I think KDE needs to have something similar.
There's so much new stuff happening around KDE, so many new projects, so many useful apps that it's impossible for the average KDE user (somebody who works in the KDE environment, but doesn't want to spend hours each week maintaining and upgrading it) to keep up2date.
Anyway, just my $0.02

Showing that KDE2 can look like GNOME isn't a bad idea, but it definitly shouldn't be a prime PR focus (just an example from many of KDE2's flexibility) and PLEASE use a screenshot where it actually does look like GNOME. The link above looked like some bastardized hybrid of KDE2, GNOME, WindowMaker, and BeOS. You'd especially have to get the colors and window decorations down.

Of course if it is the goal of the KDE project to start a new flamewar between the projects this is a good start, hey, maybe we soon see Gnotices postings saying stuff like:GNOME the only desktop solution with developers competent enough to make a working CORBA component solution or unlike some other slow projects the GNOME project didn't need two years to implement xdnd.

Of all the very constructive proposals in this discussion, this is the one I agree with the most. Kicking the competition to promote yourself is not only immature and shooting yourself in the foot, but as far as commercials go, some countries/states even prohibit such practices.

By Haakon Nilsen at Thu, 2000/10/12 - 5:00am
Re: Mee too
I heartily "third" this post expressing concerns about the attitude taken towards all other desktop environments. (Please see my earlier post.)
When I read this editorial, that statement ("technical superiority") jumped right out at me and colored my whole opinion of the article. The reason I tried KDE when it was *finally* added to Debian (congrats to TrollTech, you've done an excellent job!) was because I thought it had a good feel and good apps (Konqueror), and also because KDE spent their time coding, not bragging or forming foundations. My understanding of KDE was that it "just worked."
But if the attitude of KDE developers is that it "just works better than all other desktops," I myself can probably poke some holes in that assertion. I know a bit about KDE and Gnome, enough to know what their relative merits are, and both have advantages and disadvantages. (And let's not forget xfce.)
I guess what I'm saying is that those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. If you don't want to encourage Gnome bigots to point out your glaring holes (and *every* project has glaring holes), then just shut up and keep coding!

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
KDE team made two major mistakes with KDE1:
1. Shiped KDE with Windows style by default. It was terrible mistake, because:
a) main KDE target - linux users hate windows
b) KDE1 in windows style looks extremely ugly, because of ugly toolbars. The guy who implemented that code deserves to be shot.
2. KDE project never cared about the quality of binaries distributed. All linux distributions and FreeBSD shiped binaries built with exceptions handling enabled, making KDE1 bloated and slow to unusability.
The first problem was solved using new default KDE2 style. The second problem will plaque KDE2 installations all over the world, until the end of the days, or until packagers will learn to compile Qt and KDE2 correctly.

Well, my dad had KDE up on his machine, Mom was using it, and she had trouble reading the checkboxes, and no wonder, too. The difference between a unchecked and a checked Motif checkbox is just some shading. For most people, this isn't a problem because the shading makes it look like something is popping in or out, but for Mom, the color difference is a subtle change. Checkboxes are one thing Windows widgets got right.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
I agree that KDE has visability problems on two fronts:
1) Being seen outside the KDE project world
Simply put, the KDE project reminds me of the old GNU Linux argument which Stallman has lost - Linux is "Linux" and "GNU" is nowhere, simply because Linux is visible and "GNU" is not - even with "GN"OME and the GPL.
As to the "KDE looks like Windows" line, I don't think it does. However, KDE does *not* look sufficiently different from windows for ignorant potential users to appreciate that it is different and offers a whole lot more. A huge part of GNOMES success is its eyecandy. Sun must have jumped at the chance of replacing the graphically challenged CDE with something that looks like GNOME.
Anyway, just my 2 pence worth.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
KDE has improved it's PR as of recently, but it still has a ways to go.
Making the QT toolkit GPL has totally blown that entire argument out of the water (finally). Also, there is finally a good news site about the latest KDE happenings (http://dot.kde.org).
Now, here's some improvements I can think of.
First, really push the differences between GNOME and KDE. With KDE2, apps can easily talk amongst one another via DCOP. GNOME is still developing this and won't be ready at least 1/2 a year. KDE has a working Office suite (http://koffice.kde.org). GNOME is planning to port StarOffice which will take way too long, IMHO.
Second, if you really want to push KDE, make apps for the end user. Koffice is a great example. Not too many techies get into things like this, but it is very functional for the end user. What about multimedia. This is one of the few areas where Micro$oft still reigns. With things like ARTS and the new media players being developed, it's very possible to surpass that other OS.
Third, prove how easy it is to develop for KDE vs GNOME. Although there will be C bigots who will never convert, the advantages of using C++ in development time and code reusibility are mind boggling. I've always thought this was the major difference between GNOME and KDE. C++ allows quicker development...PERIOD!
Fourth, really, really, really promote the multi-language support. If I remember correctly, this is still in development for GNOME 2.0 (Pengo comes to mind). If so, we won't see it for another year or so. Hah. Doesn't 50+ languages exceed any other user environment???
In conclusion, KDE has a great track record in its releases. They've been mostly on time and stable. Long live KDE!

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
What you're saying is not entirely true.
Gnome is already quite mature.
And that DCOP thing... as far as I know it will only slow down apps because every KDE app initialize a DCOP socket or whatever it is.
There is already an office suite for Gnome.
You're saying that it's easier to developer for KDE than Gnome.
C++ allows quicker development?
And Gnome already supports internatiolization and localization.
Conclusion: KDE and Gnome both have their strengths and weakness.

> You're saying that it's easier to developer for KDE than Gnome.
At least for me it was much easier to develop with QT/KDE then with gtk--. A couple of month ago I had a look at both and found QT/KDE _much_ better documented. The documentation of the classes is for gtk-- in many cases not more worth than the header file--compare this with QT/KDE!

TD Ameritrade (AMTD) said its second-quarter earnings improved close to 20% on Tuesday, beating analysts' estimates: Net income was $184 million, or $0.33 a share, versus $154 million, or $0.28 a share, a year ago.
Total revenue increased 9% year over year and 7% from the prior quarter to $725 million.
"TD Ameritrade had a strong third quarter in virtually all metrics, as we continue to execute well against our growth strategy while being disciplined on expenses," said President & CEO Fred Tomczyk, in a press release. "We had record interest rate sensitive assets, record net revenues and record market fee-based revenue during the quarter."
Net new client assets for the period were roughly $11 billion, representing an annualized growth rate of 8%. However, client asset flows were higher in the prior quarter, at $13 billion, and slightly lower a year ago, at $10 billion.
Average daily client trades per day hit about 399,000, an activity rate of close to 7%.
Of its total second-quarter revenue, $384 million, or 53%, was asset based.
Commissions and trading fees grew to $321 million, up from $266 million a year ago and $287 million in the prior quarter. Investment product fees increased to $65 million, up 23% from $54 million last year and a jump of nearly 5% from $62 million last quarter.
Client assets now total nearly $524 billion vs. $554 billion a year ago and $517 billion on March 31.
"We are pleased with our performance this quarter," said Bill Gerber, executive vice president and chief financial officer, in a statement. "We benefited from the improved trading environment, and we kept our eyes focused on disciplined expense management and maintaining our strong balance sheet. We have good momentum, and we're well positioned as we look ahead to fiscal 2014."
In additional news, the company announced a new "Veo Integrated" logo that it says makes it easy for registered investment advisors (RIAs) to identify technology providers that have built integrations with TD Ameritrade Institutional's Veo platform. RIAs in the market that purchase technology can look for the logo on participating technology providers' marketing materials including Web sites, brochures and videos.
"We reached a significant milestone with 50 vendors now on the platform with which advisors can now integrate," said Jon Patullo, managing director of technology, TD Ameritrade Institutional.
"In order to participate in the Veo open access initiative, all third-party technology providers must meet a set of stringent security requirements and have the ability to deliver quality service to advisors," Patullo said. "It's important that firms eligible to display the 'Veo Integrated' logo demonstrate a high standard of care and commitment to RIAs."
TD Ameritrade Institutional president Tom Nally added that overall advisor adoption of Veo open access integrations is up 104% in 2013. The customized Salesforce CRM app is one of the most widely adopted, with more than 1,000 users.
Nally also noted that iRebal, which he announced at the company's annual conference in February, would be added to Veo and free for TD advisors, is now in beta and on track for release in August.

This is the second time that I have ordered flowers through The
Sympathy Store in the last few months. The service is so
convenient and efficient. The flowers were beautiful and done
I was well pleased with the beautiful spray. It looked great. Thanks.
I was very pleased with the arrangement I purchased. It was exactly what I expected from the picture.
This arrangement was absolutely perfect for my grandfather's memorial service. The flowers were high quality, and the whole thing was beautifully put together. The ordering process was very easy, and the arrangement was there when we arrived. I didn't have to worry about it at all. Thank you!
Disappointed overall-- nothing like the photo. I counted 10 red carnations, 5 white roses and a few white sprays. If any blue flowers not at all noticeable. Not only not a red white and blue ribbon but no ribbon at all! Looked underwhelming for $140.00. It was delivered promptly.
Although I provided bad information, The Sympathy Store was able to correct it and deliver the arrangement without making me look bad. I greatly appreciate it!

Beautiful arrangement
well worth it but it was smaller than it looks here
Overall the spray was nice, yet due to seasonal substitutions it did not look like the same spray at all. It was a little sparse and did not give the same overall feel. Also the bow was red, not red white and blue . I assumed I did not have to specify based on the name and photo of the spray. It was ok but I probably would have ordered a different spray if I was notified about the changes.
I ordered this arrangement from this company at the very last moment due to the quick dieing of my Dad. These people went above and beyond in my opinion to make his funeral a very nice send off for a Good Man. I can never Thank them enough. The arraignment was very tastefully done and looked far more expensive than it actually was. A e-mail was sent to my account when it was delivered. That made it less stressful knowing it arrived on time. Polite, Professional and, caring would be the short version. As my pop would say, " Good Job, Well Done." Thank You. Beau Cummins
This is a very nice arrangement, thank you!!

MMCF released with MMBase 1.9.0
04 November 2008 12:00
This release includes the long awaited MMBase Component Framework designed to make sharing applications and other functionality build upon MMBase easier.
The elegance of using a MMBase component can be best illustrated by this example:
<mm:link page="magazine">
<mm:frameworkparam name="component">mynews</mm:frameworkparam>
${_}
This will typically generate a link to the MyNews application, or rather its component, depending on the location of your webapp: http://www.localhost:8080/example-1.9.0/magazine. The new tag <mm:frameworkparam /> is responsible for the generation of a userfriendly link, provided that the component is accompanied by an UrlConverter generating user- and searchengine friendly links.
The component itself, and with that the omni present MyNews application, can be included in your webpage with the following example:
<mm:component name="mynews" />
Which will show the introduction of the MyNews magazine followed by a list of the well known articles. More information, for example about how to build your own components, can be found in the documentation.

Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom
Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom
Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom
Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom is a very common disease in Italy, where a third of people who suffer at least once a month. The pathology gives as an evident symptom an intense heartburn that can be in the central area of the chest, or in the lower area of the abdomen.
Sometimes, the burning sensation can also be associated with the sensation of regurgitation of acid substance, which rises from the stomach to the esophagus. In addition to acidity, digestion can be perceived as a tiring and very slow process. These symptoms occur with greater intensity after meals and when the person is lying on his back.
Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom PARTIES INTERESTED
Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom consists of the return of gastric contents through the anatomical region that separates it from the esophagus. This phenomenon can be asymptomatic, when kept under control by basic physiological mechanisms, such as peristalsis or salivary flow; we speak, instead, of pathological condition, commonly indicated with the acronym GGE (gastroesophageal reflux disease), when there are symptoms of significant intensity, associated or not with signs of damage to esophageal level, found with diagnostic practices.
SYMPTOMS OF Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom
Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom,The physiology of the stomach is based on hydrochloric acid, an essential substance to sterilize food and prepare it for absorption, but corrosive and capable of eroding the mucosa, with effects such as:
- gastritis (characterized by heartburn) or burning behind the sternum (called pyrosis),
- nausea, vomiting
The data present in the literature estimate that, to date, more than 5 million Italians are suffering from gastroesophageal reflux, with equal distribution between the age groups and the sexes.
In newborns and children, the distinction between physiological and pathophysiological conditions is even more difficult, both because of the great heterogeneity of symptoms and because of the lack of easy-to-use diagnostic tests.
The incidence of reflux in adults is variable and presents a peak between 35 and 45 years. It should not be underestimated that, due to the variety of clinical pictures, an underestimated view of the true incidence of the disease can be had.
Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom is a pathology attributable to several factors, which are often difficult to identify.The causes of reflux can be multiple, such as the malfunctioning of the valve that separates the stomach and esophagus (cardias) or the presence of a hiatal hernia.Physio-pathological factors also play an important role, in fact, an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, characteristic of obese people, but also of pregnant women, predisposes more to the risk of gastro-esophageal reflux.The diagnostic possibilities are different: from the classic endoscopy, to other more advanced tests, which allow the doctor to better control the conditions and movements of the patient's esophagus.
The symptoms of Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom may be exacerbated during the night. This is because the supine position favors the retro-diffusion of gastric juices towards the esophagus. Therefore, a valid aid is the lifting of the head of the patient's bed by a few centimeters.
Although a correlation between stress and the onset of gastro-esophageal reflux is not entirely evident, a possible hypothesis of interdependence between these two conditions is conceivable. Stress favors the mechanisms of gastric hypersecretion, which contribute to the onset of symptoms.
Alongside pharmacological remedies, focused on antacid and antisecretory therapies, a series of tricks and remedies are important to keep reflux symptoms under control.
The main trick is based on the control of body weight, even before any therapeutic approach. Therefore, maintain a correct lifestyle, practicing physical activity and not exceeding the quantity of meals. It is essential not to go to bed immediately after eating and keep the head of the bed raised a few centimeters.
Foods to avoid
It may be advisable to avoid or, at least, not exceed in the intake of foods that affect the acid secretion of the stomach (alcohol, coffee, etc..).
Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom NATURAL REMEDIES
To protect the stomach from hydrochloric acid, our body uses a protective layer on the mucosa of the stomach and duodenum on one side and a system called "acid stat" on the other that controls acidity levels by keeping them within safety limits. Once the protective action is exhausted, the mantle disintegrates, feeding the underlying tissues and the entire organism.
The problem of Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom, up to now has been addressed at the pharmacological level with the administration of antacids, antisecretory agents and autoprojectors. All effective treatments, but potentially associated with side effects that can limit the benefits.
The hydrolyzed collagen helps to maintain the pH of the stomach to the natural values and, when combined with the tribasic calcium phosphate, is able to create a protective mantle inside the stomach which not only warns of gastric acidity peaks , but manages to neutralize them promptly , before they have harmful effects.
Surely the prevention and treatment of Acid Reflux Cumin And Cardamom are favored by a healthy lifestyle. A proper diet can in fact reduce the symptomatology very much. Here are some tips:
- avoid ingesting excessive portions of food and overloading the stomach: the right amount of food is better for many times a day, rather than too much food in the normal three meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner);
- chew slowly, taking the right time to ingest the food;
- chewing gum: salivation and swallowing frequency increase;
- do not make significant physical efforts on a full stomach;
- do not go to sleep immediately after eating.

It's been a long week for everyone at MSGL and it's only Wednesday. The roots of our beloved river birch tree, which shaded the sandbox for more than 10 years, finally overtook the sewage pipe coming from Building A. The tree was cut down, the sandbox was dug up, and the lovely pergola that Ron Stier designed and built to shade the children has been dismantled. This is the sight today as workers remove roots and begin to repair the pipe. As luck would have it, we received 3 inches of snow this morning so classes were cancelled.
It's not a pretty sight right now on the playground. (Photo by Tony Harvey)
Yesterday, we said goodbye to the river birch tree.

But this is Wayback Wednesday and we have to go way back. So let's take a look back at how we got here. This is the sandbox under construction in 2001. The river birch was planted later that year. It probably seemed like a really good idea at the time.
2001 - Sandbox under construction.
Two years later the children are enjoying the new sandbox. The birch tree is wrapped in black at top left.
Miss Sherry and friends enjoy the shade of the river birch and the pergola during summer camp in 2010.
And here is a nice photo of the whole area from Summer, 2011.
Certainly one of the most popular areas in our outdoor classroom, the sandbox is going to be sorely missed until it can be reconstructed. But even as we lament this loss, it's good to remember that things could be worse. Back in September, 2007, this was the view outside of Building A.

Take heart, friends. The water will soon be flowing in Building A and children will once again play in a shady sandbox. And Spring is only eight days away. Have the best possible Wednesday!

This week's installment of Building MSGL focuses on the work of the jackhammer, a tool that was put to much use during the first few months of the construction project. Lots of concrete had to be broken up and hauled away so we could remodel the buildings and install new steps and sidewalks.
Tony Harvey breaks up concrete in Building B to make space for new plumbing for sinks and bathrooms. This was one of his least favorite days of the entire 6-month project.
Looking at Building A as the concrete demolition gets underway.
Later that day, it looked like this. Watch that first step - it's a doozy.
Don Harvey and Craig Lamb prepare to take out the upstairs landing.
As the demolition continued, it became apparent that the light-duty jackhammer they had been using was not going to cut through some of the steps. One parent volunteer took a look at the slow progress they were making and set off to find a better solution. Half and hour later he pulled in with a trailer-mounted mobile air compressor and a much more powerful jackhammer. Tony Harvey said that was a real game-changer for this phase of the project.
"We had a little jackhammer that you could plug into an outlet in an airplane bathroom," he joked. "This parent came back with a rig that looked like Iron Man built it. When we flipped the switch on the big one you could see lights flicker in the apartments across the street," he said, once again, joking. "We had been working all day on those steps and in just 20 minutes with the big hammer, they were dust."
The old steps are broken up to make way for the new stairs/ramp that will lead into the upstairs hallway in Building A.
Just for fun, I am including before, during, and after photos from Building A so we can admire the progress from an old church basment entry to a modern, ADA-compliant school entrance.
During demolition.
Here it is with the concrete walls freshly poured.
Here, the railings are being installed.
And here it is that first summer, looking quite lovely.
Thanks for joining me in the wayback. Have a super Wednesday!

Organized sports can help kids grow in many ways. From soccer to fencing, sports offer chances for kids to learn and master skills, work with their peers and coaches, and challenge themselves in a safe environment. They learn the value of practice and the challenge of competition. And on top of all that, sports provide natural and fun opportunities for kids to get regular exercise.
But before signing kids up for sports, parents should consider a child's personality and developmental level to help ensure that being involved in sports is a positive experience for everyone.
As you think about signing kids up for sports, consider how emotionally and physically ready they are to participate. Signing up too early can end up being frustrating for everyone, and can turn kids off from sports for good.
Although there are sports programs designed for preschoolers, it's not until about age 6 or 7 that most kids develop the appropriate physical skills or the attention span needed to listen to directions and grasp the rules of the game. While preschoolers can throw and run, it usually takes some time before they can coordinate the two skills. And it usually isn't until kindergarten or first grade that kids grasp concepts like "taking turns" that are crucial to many sports.
That doesn't mean kids can't play sports when they're younger. Sports can be fun for toddlers and kindergartners, but they should be less about competition and more about having fun opportunities to be active. So even if young kids inadvertently score a goal for the other team or spend the entire game chasing butterflies, as long as they're enjoying it, that's OK.
If you do decide to sign your 5-year-old up for a team, be sure to choose a league that emphasizes fun and basic skills.
If kids show an interest in a sport, try to let them do it. You may be worried that your child will get hurt, particularly in a contact sport like football, but as long as the coach requires players to use the correct safety gear, your doctor OK's it, and your child is matched up with other kids of the same size and ability, go ahead. Even if the sport doesn't turn out to be a good fit, your child will learn much from the experience.
When choosing a sport, consider your child's unique temperament. Some kids are naturally inclined toward team sports, while others may feel more comfortable in activities where the focus is on individual efforts. There's something for everyone — from soccer and baseball for team-oriented kids, to tennis, fencing, karate, dancing, and swimming for kids who'd rather go solo.
Don't be surprised if it takes a few tries — or a few seasons — to find the sport that's right for your child. It often takes time for kids to figure out which activities they enjoy.
Some kids may just not be interested in team sports, but they can still keep fit by engaging in other activities that don't emphasize competition. No matter what they choose, kids should be physically active for at least 60 minutes a day.
Before you sign up for a season of sports, think about how practices and games are going to affect the day-to-day life of your child and the rest of the family:
However kids feel when they enroll for a season of sports, there may come a time when they want to quit. If your child comes to you with this plea, try to find the reason behind it. It may have to do with something small and fixable, like a bad-fitting uniform, or it may be a bigger issue, like how comfortable your child feels with the coach or the kids on the team. It could also be that your child just doesn't enjoy the sport.
Is it OK to let kids quit? If your child is on a team that depends on his or her participation, you may want to explain the importance of sticking it out for the season. If that's not the case, then think about what you want your child to get out of the experience, and how quitting would affect that.
When kids are overscheduled or unhappy, quitting may be the right thing. But it's still important for all kids to be physically active every day, even if they're no longer playing an organized sport.
Kids should have a physical examination before beginning any sports or fitness program. Those with certain medical conditions, vision or hearing problems, or other disorders may have difficulty playing some sports. Rarely, a doctor may find an undiagnosed condition that can affect participation.
Although you should share your interests with your kids, it's never a good idea to force them into an activity just because you once excelled in it. And once they choose a sport, be sure to head out to the field, gym, or pool to cheer them on.
These are general guidelines to keep in mind. Kids mature at their own pace and develop their unique skills at different times, so consider your child's emotional and physical maturity before you commit to a season of sports. There's no point in forcing sports on kids of if they're not having fun.

Genetically modified organisms are frequently plants that have been modified by scientists working for large corporations to engineer new traits into a field crop. Wikipedia provides a wealth of information on the topic of GMO food. This US PIRG (the national lobbying office of the state Public Interest Research Groups) report provides extensive data on the GMO issues.
GMO crops pose a great risk of largely unexplored threats to human health and the environment. For instance BT Corn is a GM corn from Monsanto that has inserted into its DNA a special trait from the bacillus thuringiensis bacteria that produces a powerful insecticide which kills a common corn pest: the corn borer. However, farmers have reported that the borer has grown resistant, while the plant is continues to kill additional insects such as the Monarch Butterfly and the Lacewing. Meanwhile, contaminated corn exposes humans to this modified DNA.
In the EU, GM maize (or corn for animal consumption) was approved in 1998. Since then, no new GM crops have been approved, despite complaints from the US and rulings by the World Trade Organization. Other GM plants are only allowed in Europe on university study fields under very strict supervision that strictly prevents any pollen drifting. In Europe, Norway, Austria, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Luxembourg, and Portugal have bans on GM crops. However, due to the presence of GM maize in Europe, the possibility of contaminated corn exists. It is for this reason Lavera uses Talc instead of Corn Starch in some of its makeup products.
Organic farmers in the US are often finding that their crops are testing positive for GMO cross-contamination. The source of the problem comes from the cross-pollination of organic crops with GMO crops in neighboring farms, the presence of GMO seed in bags of "organic" seed, greed – misrepresentation of GMO products as organic for higher prices, and other factors. "According to the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology, in 2004, 45 percent of corn, 85 percent of soybeans and 76 percent of cotton being grown in the United States were GMOs."
According to an article from the Dow Jones, the USDA is wanting to "to cement into law its authority to do nothing when unapproved biotech material is discovered in crops". This is the same USDA that certifies skin care products with the Certified Organic seal.
According to the article, "Dow AgroSciences in February 2008 reported discovering traces of an unapproved biotech material in three lines of corn seeds. The USDA said the unapproved biotech seed was planted on about 53,000 acres of U.S. farm land in 2007." There have been number a class action lawsuit claimings damages for crops for human use being contaminated by gmo crops: StarLink Corn Products, Ponto vs Aventis Crop Science.
There is currently no requirement to test for GMO in organic crops and end products and little testing. According to Matthew Dillon, director of advocacy for the Organic Seed Alliance, "GMOs are an 'excluded method' in an organic program... It could threaten the farmer's certification to 'knowingly' plant seed with GMO presence."
The list of GM crops available is quite large:
Hawaiian Papaya
Sugar cane
Sugar beet
Sweet corn

The idea was promoted as very Big Brother, but in a good way.
When Colorado rulemakers drew up regulations for the state's medical-marijuana industry in 2010, they put in a requirement that video-surveillance systems in stores and growing facilities be able to connect to the Internet. The intention was that state auditors — day or night, in their office or on the go — could sit before a computer and remotely monitor every minute detail of a medical-marijuana business to ensure full compliance.
Someone would always be watching.
Three years later, the state has quietly acknowledged it hasn't been looking.
In a draft of new rules for medical-marijuana businesses, rulemakers have pulled the Internet-connectivity requirement for surveillance systems.
"It is not technically or financially feasible," state Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division spokeswoman Julie Postlethwait wrote in an e-mail.
In fact, the entire rule book is being rewritten to make it sleeker, more easily enforced and less ambitious. Postlethwait said experience — plus an executive order instructing all state agencies to improve their rules — prompted the rewrite.
"It's about figuring out more efficient ways to make it work," said Mike Elliott, the head of the Medical Marijuana Industry Group, a trade association.
"We can see it now," he said. "We have a much better idea of what works and what doesn't work."
That is a message for another set of rule writers to consider as they create regulations for the state's forthcoming recreational-marijuana industry.
A task force is developing suggested rules for lawmakers to adopt after the passage of Amendment 64, which legalized limited possession and retail sales of marijuana. That task force has divided into five subgroups to study issues related to criminal law, social concerns, employment relationships and others. Some of those subgroups have now divided into sub-subgroups to further study the matter.
The entire apparatus has only about a month left to write its report. Last week, it adopted its first recommendations — to urge the governor and Colorado's congressional delegation to work toward resolving the federal-law conflicts that prevent banks from working with marijuana businesses.
In brainstorming sessions, task-force members have identified close to 100 marijuana-related issues that the group should ponder. But task-force leaders have begun to temper expectations about how polished or comprehensive that group's proposed rules will be.
"We don't have to cross all the T's and dot all the I's," said task-force co-chairwoman Barbara Brohl, the head of the state Revenue Department. "As long as we come up with fairly robust recommendations, we believe the legislature and others will be able to take that and dot all the I's and cross all the T's."
Elliott said that is a wise approach because, as the medical-marijuana rules show, the regulations will likely need to be reconsidered soon after being implemented.
The state's Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division has released a revised draft of one chunk of rules and plans to release more drafts by Friday. There is a stakeholder forum on the revised rules scheduled for Feb. 15 at the Jefferson County courthouse.
Postlethwait said division officials decided most of the medical-marijuana business rules needed "amendment or clarification" after nearly three years of enforcing them.
"The intent of this rule making process is to … improve efficiency while still providing a solid regulatory scheme," Postlethwait wrote in an e-mail.
The section governing video- surveillance systems in the old rules spanned nine pages and included detailed technical requirements for security cameras — which medical-marijuana business owners said were soon obsolete. The new proposed rules for security cameras cover four pages. On the technical specifications for cameras, the rules refer business owners to a guide on the division website.
"Overall, I think it's a good thing for the industry," Elliott said. "It was in a sense over-regulation. … They're still getting the security they need."
