Really. I highly recommend looking through maukka's reviews to see graphs of the exact path the LED tint takes through color space as the power increases. In great detail, he has published quantified measurements of many different types of LEDs. It's very useful information, well beyond what the manufacturers provide.
Needless to say, looks great. We are all waiting to throw cash at somebody.
Is that a piece for sale? What do you want for thirty odd dollars, rocketship precision?
I'd probably pay 10 or maybe even 20$ more to get what was originally promised, with some surety, if it still comes under the radar at Customs.
But really losing interest. I've vacillated I know and made myself a bit of a nuisance here. Still watching this space.
It really boils down to a communication thing, or the complete lack of it, which seems so unnecessary, and disappointing to those who are still trying so hard.
These sneaky pictures of possible work in progress just raise more questions than they answer. Perhaps that is the intention, to try to keep a buzz going, and keep us chattering. Not sure that is really helpful, some solid information, technical updates, posited timescale and professionalism would be more confidence building.
As well as actually sending some proto4s to those who matter.
Here is a paste of a separate rant that I decided not to post. But now have.
Of course this has to be producible, and compromises needed to meet a (very tight IMO) selling price target.
Surface finish is a really big one. It really does cost, to do it right, and everyone has their own opinion (though few will know just how well things can be done) . Sending it down the line with a known standard mediocre process is the easy way forwards, and maybe not such a bad decision.
Creative "tension" between the designer, and the manufacturer and distribution people is to be expected, but it's how that gets sorted out behind the scenes that separates the dogmatic , maybe a little bit arrogant, perfectionist (who may have little if any experience of of a big project) from those who are just trying to get on with things and doing their best, having been asked for their help, and considerable skills and experience, gratis, and to open this up to the important BLF audience.
What's to hide ? An ego-trip is one thing, pulling off something like this is quite another, and perhaps better to step aside and just let the pros finish it. E.g. quibbling over a requested 1mm dimension change (the man said no, perhaps he was right), for example.
Lumintop do know how to make torches, and there are competent and concerned people still sticking with this. Not sure why.
This was supposed to be really special. Now I doubt that.
Rant off. I promise to be nicer, for at least a few days. Please don't press the re-named "Whatcha" button, no matter how tempting. But if you do, I'll know what you did. That's still the way it works.
5708 posts on this thread at the last count. Since May 4 2017. That's a lot of interest, and time, committed by many people to it, no matter how you measure it. Hopefully not all just wasted because a few people, well, maybe over-promised, or just got out of their depth.
Here's a suggestion. Fritz, or Cawi, just send TK your proto3 (or 4) and let her assess it. Then listen to what she has to say.
You might not like it, but better than just gathering dust on your shelf. Or gloating, Gollum-like, over "your precious" that may never happen, the way that this seems to be endlessly running on.
Well, maybe not all… myself and Tom Tom may not have the cash out and ready to throw just yet.
Yeah yeah yeah, I know, right? Me and Tom Tom on the same page… sometimes stuff just happens.
And then tatasal torture's me with pics of that sweet old MaxToch SN6X-2X!
Speaking for myself, I'm on the interest list for one light, but I'll more than likely be buying 2-3 more after the initial rush. Plus, I'm quite sure all my friends are gonna want one when they see mine. I think you could figure on 5-6x more demand than what has been voiced here. Not to mention other retail sales from recommendations on reddit or wherever else. I hope that's motivation enough to get this into production ASAP. This flashlight will be a gold mine for those selling them.
55 posts, many of them tense, in about 12 hours because, after bemoaning the lack of photos or other updates, we (collectively) didn't recognize a thread relief when a photo was finally posted.
I'm starting to think this thread should be locked until the light is ready to ship.
Oh well, sorry for that.
The torture's going to end my friend. Let's make a deal: PM me your mailing address, and my MaxToch SN6X-2X(Vn) will be on its way to you.
Everything's on me, Merry Christmas!
Please add me for one!
P.S.: The light looks great!
Agreed, quite different. Yet more questions than answers. Again.
Guessing that is only TK's proto2. It seems we are now up to at least 3 , or even 4, and so it still seems to keep on evolving, at least in some people's dreams.
So it seems the warmest tint is somewhere in the middle of the range (from very low to very high).
I highly recommend looking through maukka's reviews to see graphs of the exact path the LED tint takes through color space as the power increases. In great detail, he has published quantified measurements of many different types of LEDs. It's very useful information, well beyond what the manufacturers provide.
Okay, i'll look for that among the esoteric graphs i'm not initiated for.
GIMP is very powerful, but I couldn't figure it out.
I use IrfanView for my modest image editing needs.
Photoshop is a lot easier. If you actually want to get things done, and are prepared to pay, or otherwise, obtain it.
I haven't learned many tricks to use it, but it is more intuitive than GIMP.
One of my favorite things about BLF is that being off-topic is usually not a problem.
I haven't learned many tricks to use it, but it is more intuitive than GIMP.
Affinity Photo is quite good for non pro photoshop users.
I've never heard of Affinity Photo. But I just looked it up and it does seem nice. I've been a GIMP user for years. I've never used Photoshop. I'm not anything like a professional user, but I have learned how to do some moderately advanced things with GIMP. Photoshop and Affinity Photo still have quite a few very advanced features that Gimp lacks.
I've spent time with a bunch of image editors, and have been using GIMP and Photoshop since the 1990s. I even made my own paint program / image editor once, designed mostly around demoscene effects. But I find GIMP suits me best, and is the most intuitive for me. Part of it is because it's trivially easy to assign arbitrary keyboard shortcuts, part is because it lets my window manager do its job instead of trying to manage everything itself in a single window, and part is just that it has the types of tools I want.
In the past, Photoshop was a lot better if you needed color spaces other than greyscale or RGB, but GIMP recently overhauled its engine to fix that sort of issue. It always had a wider and more advanced variety of image-processing tools, often getting brand new stuff from SIGGRAPH long before other programs, but its core architecture has also gotten a lot more mature over time.
I wouldn't use either one for diagrams or for painting though. There are better tools for those tasks, like Inkscape for diagrams and Krita for painting. GIMP is mostly designed for photo editing.
It's hard to go wrong with any decent image editor though. There is no shortage of genuinely good imaging software these days.
About the FW3A though… something I've been pondering is whether to try to fit in a factory reset function somewhere.
This would reset everything to defaults except the thermal sensor calibration. For that, it would act as if the user went through thermal config mode and calibrated it to 21 C. Maybe that's not the exact temperature of everyone's rooms, but it should be a lot closer than an uncalibrated attiny85.
Normally I'd put it on "hold e-switch while connecting power, then continue to hold for a few seconds". However, the FW3A can't do that because the switch doesn't get physically connected until after power.
So maybe it could be on some other action which is hard to do by accident. Maybe 10 clicks from off and hold the 10th?
Starting at a low level, the light flashes an increasingly intense warning stutter.
Let go to cancel the reset, or otherwise keep holding.
After ~5 seconds, the light makes a bright flash, resets everything to defaults, then smoothly fades back to off.
At least, that's how the "self destruct mode" works on the lightsaber UI I made. It probably doesn't need to be as fancy in a flashlight. In particular, it probably shouldn't get very bright because that could affect the temperature calibration. Regardless though, I've been pondering whether it should be included.
The Anduril I flashed onto my D4 goes into a lock on if you click 10 plus clicks from on. I would consider this a good thing, must power cycle to exit.
I don't see myself using a factory reset, but it might be good for some.
I think that was a big in an older version where too long click sequences just lock up the whole light.
Since then, I completely rewrote the button input handling system. It's now quite a bit smaller and also lacks bugs like the one you noted.
I still have a couple other bugs to hunt down, but they only affect lights with aux LEDs, so it's not relevant for the FW3A. The other bugs are also incredibly rare, to the point that I can't even make them happen on purpose, so it may take a while to confirm any fixes.
In any case, there is no more lock-up after long click sequences.

VIDEO CPD: We are exposed to multiple potentially hazardous environmental contaminants on a daily basis, which negatively impact our health and general well-being, says Tuks' Dr Natalie Aneck-Hahn.
Dr Aneck-Hahn is a member of the Department of Environmental Chemical Pollution and Health Research Unit at the University of Pretoria. Biomonitoring studies have shown that traces of environmental contaminants such as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can be detected in bodily tissues and fluids such as placental tissue, breast milk, urine, blood and saliva.
Serious concerns have been raised about the potential health risks associated with endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure in the healthcare sector.
The Endocrine Disruptor Screening and Testing Advisory Committee defines EDCs as an exogenous substance of mixture that influences the function(s) of the endocrine system, causing adverse effects at the level of the organism, its progeny, populations or subpopulations of organisms. EDCs are used in industrial solvents/lubricants and their by-products, pesticides, fungicides, pharmaceutical products (e.g. paracetamol and diclofenac), plastics and plasticisers (e.g. bisphenol and phthalates).
HERE IS THE CPD VIDEO OF DR ANECK-HAHN's PRESENTATION ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS:
Routes of exposure include diet (meat, dairy, fish and pharmaceutical products), water, air (industrial pollution) and skin or dermal contact (cosmetics/pharmaceutical and medical products).
According to Dr Aneck-Hanh endocrine-related diseases and disorders (e.g. low semen quality, genital malformations, endocrine-related cancers [testicular, prostate, breast and ovarian], neurodevelopmental, obesity and type 2 diabetes) are increasing. Studies show that women, neonates and young children are at greatest risk of the effects of exposure.
Concerns have been raised about the potential health risks associated with EDC exposure in the healthcare sector. Examples of EDCs used in the healthcare space include: Blood bags, nutrition pockets, venous catheters, disposable gloves, tubing, haemodialysers, new-born incubators syringes and nebulisers.
A number of countries have issued directives to restrict the use of EDCs in medical devices. According to these directives, devices that contain e.g. phthalates, have to be labelled as either carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to the reproduction system. Companies also have to justify the use of such devices containing EDCs, especially if intended to treat neonates, children as well as pregnant and nursing women.

There's no doubt that the internet has changed the way readers interact with their favorite magazines. While print sales may be steadily dropping, print and digital brands alike would do well to embrace the power of a tech-savvy audience.
These days, it isn't enough to wait for your audience to come to you. You'll have to find them. Increasing magazine readership is a great way to get more advertisers or simply increase revenue.
If you're looking to launch or relaunch your digital magazine, read on. Here are a few tips on how to increase digital magazine readership in simple, cost-effective ways.
Continued now we'll be going a bit more in-depth into some of the managerial day-to-day activities which you'll have to perform.
We're ushering into a new era with furthering technological advancements. Physical magazines today may be gone within the next 5-10 years. Magazines are moving online in a rapid succession.
It's hard to imagine a world where all of our information is stored digitally, yet as we press closer smaller pieces are starting to fall into place. The idea of recycling and saving the green is stronger by day which is the reason why an online magazine makes sense perfectly.
In this 2-part series we'll be going over some of the best actions to take in launching your own online magazine. In this first section we'll discuss the grounds of manifesting a creative idea and how to go about the basic building blocks for digital content. Part II will be focused on some heavier responsibilities of a magazine startup. This includes writing consistent articles, marketing, and expanding your skill set into larger management.
Audiences are increasingly choosing to engage with corporate via digital platforms that enable more immediate, interactive and intimate communications.
Digital communications are more convenient for audiences because they dissolve geographical boundaries and provide the ability to interact with brands anywhere, anytime at the touch of a button. The way that audiences engage and transact with brands is rapidly evolving – and digitally-minded corporate are leading the way.
Magazine publishers that continue to get by with just paper or desktop only print replica versions of their content must know that a business plan based on older methods of information distribution will not get them to the level of success they need to remain competitive.
With more and more readers preferring to consume content on their mobile device, publishers are witnessing firsthand the importance of having a strategy for their content which is optimized for mobile. One of the most common questions we hear publishers ask is how do they effectively go about transforming their print ads for their mobile audience?
Since mobile screen size, functionality, and reading habits differ drastically from desktop it is absolutely crucial for publishers to move away from the print replica mindset. The good news is that mobile advertising strategies are breathing new life (and new revenue!) into digital publishing.
Below are a few tips you should keep in mind to maximize your advertising efforts when transforming your print publication to an optimized mobile web app.
Digital Publishing is an ever changing competitive environment. If you don't keep up with news and trends, you can miss key opportunities and can be caught unawares. That's why it's important for you, as a digital publisher, to keep in touch with every information on what is happening in the industry.
Awareness builds expert power. And if you establish expertise in this craft, you'll earn the trust and respect not only of your target audience but also of the online publishing community at large.

Pony: At it's adult fully matured height a pony stands under 14.2 hands.
Donkey (Equus asinus): A long eared cousin of the horse. Although the care for donkeys can be similar some differences make these guys a different species. A horse has 64 chromosomes while donkeys only have 62. They also exhibit some anatomical differences.
Mule: The result of breeding a male donkey with a female horse. Mules are sterile because horses and donkeys both contain different numbers of chromosomes.
Hinny: The result of breeding a male horse with a female donkey. Like the mule, a hinny is sterile because horses and donkeys both contain different numbers of chromosomes.
Stallion: Stallions are intact, un-castrated male horses. Although much of their behavior lies in their training and upbringing stallions in general tend to be more aggressive and are very territorial. Because of this aggression it is rare that you will find a stallion on an average lesson barn. In the wild many wild stallions will not hesitate to attack and kill a foal he hasn't sired.
Gelding: Most male horses you'll meet will be geldings, who have been castrated. Testosterone is produced in the testicles so geldings tend to be much more docile and easier to handle.
Mare: A female horse is known as a mare. Because the procedure would be too invasive mares are never sterilized.
Hands: A strange term for most. A hand is defined as four inches, roughly the width of the average male hand. This type of measurement has it's roots in biblical periods and ancient Egypt, but was officially declared to be 4″ in the mid 1500s by King Henry VIII. When we use the unit for measuring horses we notate the number of hands, place a decimal, then add the number of inches.
For example, Blade stands 16.1 hands. Therefore he stands 16 hands (64 inches) plus one inch –> Total height is 65 inches.
Conformation: People often talk about conformation when describing a horse's body. It's a great concern when buying a horse and discussing physical abilities and limitations. The conformation refers to how the horse is built. We examine the straightness of the horse's legs, the levelness off it's back, it's weight and muscular distribution. It also goes into the ratios of leg length, pastern angles, and much deeper. Not all conformational flaws signal future issues or limitations, but it is certainly something to check and be aware of in your own horse. Blade unfortunately has a number of conformational issues that has significantly hindered his ability to perform. As he ages it will lead to arthritis.
Lame: Saying that a horse is "lame" doesn't mean it's uncool. "Lame" is a general word we use when a horse limps due to pain in a leg or hoof. Horses go lame from a number of reasons: breaks, sprains, or torn ligaments can often be the case. Founder, laminitis, or hoof abscesses can be some other issues. It is often best for your vet to examine the situation to provide the right diagnosis and treatment.
Colic: As with "lame" colic is a general term used to indicate abdominal pain and it can be quite deadly. Horses can colic from a variety of things; impactions, gas, sand, poisonous plants, parasites or even eating right after hard work. Horses aren't physically able to vomit, their digestive tracts go one way. Colic can also be a symptom of another larger issue (like ulcers/colonitis). A few common signs of colic include pawing at the ground, looking at or biting at the sides, trying to roll, or an elevated pulse. Many horses die from colic every year so if this is suspected it's best to call the vet as soon as possible.
Hard-keeper: Ever have that friend that could eat anything and still be skinny? That's a hard-keeper. In the horse world we don't like to see ribs and bones. A hard keeper has a high metabolism and requires more fuel to keep a good body condition.
Easy-keeper: If you're like me yo can think or look at something sweet and gain five pounds. Horses like this that are "fat on air" are considered to be easy keepers and tend to be more desirable. They are extremely cheap to feed; your worries with this type of horse are founder, laminitis, or insulin resistance.
Green-broke: A green broke horse is one with some training but still needs some more miles. It may be imbalanced or doesn't yet know all the cues. These horses need a confident balanced rider to help them grow into excellent riding horses.
This is the idea behind "The Green Horseman" since I am no seasoned expert riding at Burghley, FEI, or any prestigious competitions. I've learned a lot over the years and I am always getting new ideas and insights. As horsemen we all should strive to learn more and I will likely call myself "green" forever because our learning is never finished.
Bombproof: Many of us try to get our horses to be what we call "bombproof." A bombproof can stand quietly through gunfire, fireworks, crowds. He can stay level headed over scary bridges, through tight spaces, and around objects that seem unnatural and loud. Horse's are prey animals so it can be a lengthy tiresome process to desensitize a horse to so many potentially frightening things.
Husband Horse: A husband horse takes care of it's rider. Since most horseman are female many of us find men who are not exactly into horses like we are. They might ride but they aren't always enthusiastic and they are more passenger than rider. This horse will take care of any non-rider, men, women, and children alike. You often see the husband horse sought after by people who love to ride trails.
Gaits are the different speeds that animals move. We rarely use the term in humans but walking, jugging, and running are considered gaits. Horses have several, some specific breeds have many. For simplicity sake lets start with the basics.
This horse has just stepped with its hind right and is about to step with her front right. This will be followed by the hind left and then the front left.
Trot: A more lively 2-beat gait. At the trot the front right leg moves with the diagonal hind leg (and the other two move together as well).
Jog: Similar to the trot but slower and much more smooth. Typically English riders ride a trot and western riders the jog.
This mini is trotting. It's front right and hind left are just making contact with the ground as the front left and hind right are pushing off.
Canter: The canter is a 3-beat gait and begins when one hind leg pushes off. The other hind moves with the diagonal forelimb in the next beat and the remaining forelimb follows.
This little mustang mare is cantering. She is just pushing off with her hind right while her hind left & front right are working together. Her front left is the next footfall in the stride.
Gallop: A gallop is one of the horse's top speeds. It is a 4-beat gait so all legs move independently and the horse covers ground very quickly. Between strides all four legs are off the ground at once.
After finishing a stride at the gallop Blade is temporarily air-born. You can see as his hind right is about to make the next footfall.
Help build my next list of terms!
What have you heard spoken around the barn and wondered about?
"Pacing" a walk that does not have a clear four beat. And the legs move laterally together instead of diagonally. That's not a good description but ….. "collection" not something that happens in church but involves the horse bringing his hind end under him more are taking more weight behind, and lifting the shoulders .The size of the steps in walk trot and canter are also somewhat shorter and smaller.
Great descriptions! I used to ride a standardbred that paced and we have a few TWHs on our farm.
Sorry I forgot to say this is a very good post full of information. Well done!
Up on the tippy-toes is how I describe it!!


Daniel Melko, business manager for a Mercedes-Benz dealership on Chicago's Near North Side, drank cocktails and smoked cigars at Gibsons and Tavern on Rush before the statewide ban on indoor smoking. Now he smokes at his Carol Stream home or on friends' backyard patios.
"I used to go to Gibsons twice a week, but haven't been there since Jan. 1," says Mr. Melko, 45.
Seeking to challenge such legislative bans, Cigar Rights of America, a group of cigar makers and retailers, has organized a nationwide tour, with stops planned Thursday at Up Down Cigar on North Wells in Chicago and 8 to 8 Cigar in west suburban Villa Park. Top cigar makers including Carlito Fuente of the Dominican Republic, Charlie Torano of Honduras and Jorge Padron of Nicaragua will appear.
Nearly 500 supporters, paying $40 apiece, are expected to turn out at each venue. Rick Schweig, 53, a financial planner living in the West Loop, is one: Once a regular at Sullivan's, Carmichael's, the Peninsula and the Ritz-Carlton, he smokes now at a private cigar lounge in the Loop shop Iwan Ries & Co.
"Cigar smoking is a social activity, like tasting wine: It's not the same without bars and nightclubs," a glum Mr. Schweig says.
Cigar Rights of America is raising money to lobby to roll back bans — or at least exempt cigars. "Cigar makers, and retailers, are fighting for their lives," says Diana Silvius, owner of Up Down.
"We won't try to stop the cigar group from speaking their mind," says Joel Africk, president and CEO of the Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago. "But we will work very hard to ensure that our workplaces, including restaurants, stay free from second-hand smoke."

Learn Even More About Elektra And Punisher's Impact On Season 2 Of Daredevil
Cooper Hood
With season 2 of Daredevil growing even closer, there is a lot that we do not know. Something that we have known for a while is that both Punisher and Elektra will be making their MCU debuts and they'll be significant players in the story. The duo are certain to cause some new problems for Matt and while we wait to see just what sort of trouble is in store, plenty of those involved were willing to tease this season.
IGN has revealed a list of things to know about the season and included quotes from the cast, showrunners, and some of the higher ups at Marvel. As Jeph Loeb explained, right from the get go, Marvel knew that this was the path they wanted to go down.
Loeb: "It wasn't a question of whether or not we were introducing Elektra and Punisher; it was what do Elektra and Punisher bring to Matt that made the story worthwhile. It was always Daredevil's story, how does it affect him, how does it affect Karen, how does it affect Foggy, how does it affect their world? In the same kind of way, in Season 1, as strong a performance and extraordinary a character as Fisk was, it was always in reaction to what Charlie was doing as Daredevil. These two bring out the best in our hero.
Near the end of season 1, Foggy and Matt came into some conflict over whether or not the latter should be playing vigilante. They seemed to have started the process of rebuilding that relationship, but as Elden Henson puts it there is still a gap in understanding.
Henson: Well, it is changing, but it's also much of the same. Matt and Foggy have a brotherly kind of relationship, and I think ultimately Foggy just really cares about his wellbeing, no matter what he's doing. He just wants him to be safe, and he wants to protect this thing that they've built together. And now that Karen's entered their lives, he just really wants to keep everything the same. And, you know, he gets a little bit stressed out with change and stuff like that.
Woll: Yeah, especially when you hang out with Matt and Karen, who are like, 'So, what dangerous thing are we going to do today? Whose clutches can I get into today?'
Right when Jon Bernthal was cast as Punisher, basically everyone thought it was the definition of perfect casting. Not only were us fans ecstatic about the casting, but so were the cast according to Henson.
Henson: I think we were all super pumped when we heard Jon was going to play the Punisher. I know I was like, 'That's perfect casting!' [The Punisher's] like an exposed nerve. He's just really, really intense. I was excited. We just have such a great group of people on our show — cast and crew and everyone. So any time we can get more people at the party, it's always good.
The glimpses we have seen of Punisher thus far have been incredible to say the least. He looks to be just as menacing and complex as Fisk was in season 1. One of the things that made Fisk so great was his personal life and the exploration of him as a person. Thankfully, Deborah-Ann Woll says he is more of an anti-hero than a villain.
Woll: I think something really interesting is that, even though the villain first season was Kingpin and this year we have an antihero — maybe not a villain, whoever he is, but it's the Punisher — I actually find I call them 'Wilson Fisk' and 'Frank Castle' more often than I call them by their villain names. I think that that speaks to what our show is trying to do, that all of these people are people first, and then they are their superhero or supervillain. I think you will see — obviously what you saw with Vincent [D'Onofrio] and what you will see with what Elodie [Yung, who plays Elektra] and Jon bring to it — is that these are human beings first that are complex, who then take on these personas to help them get done what they have to do.
One of Frank Castle's best lines in the trailers so far has been him calling Daredevil a coward and stating that people get back up when he deals with them as opposed to Frank keeping them down, permanently. This line of whether or not to kill his enemies has raised morality questions for Daredevil before, but this year it will be explored even more.
Woll: I think what we have talked about and been open about, at least with the Punisher — and really what Elektra brings — is the more extreme side of Daredevil. Daredevil has this code of 'he won't kill people,' and he has boundaries that he has decided make him right and anyone who crosses those wrong. But who's to say that his boundaries are right either? I think the questions that we're asking throughout this season are, 'Who decides? Who's a hero and who's not? Why does one way work better than the other? Does that even matter?' I think Foggy and Karen certainly get caught up in that discussion.
Speaking of Castle's moral code, we will learn about what makes him who he is just as much as we do Daredevil. Co-showrunner Doug Petrie is looking forward to see how viewers react to him, but even he is not sure whether or not to feel sympathy towards the character.
Petrie: Sympathy for the devil in this case is absolutely essential but we can also guarantee that's not the only thing you'll be feeling. We're very much looking forward to and frankly terrified by what we hope will be a variety of responses to this guy. He's more than one flavor. He's definitely more than one layer. We go deeper into what drives him, what his moral code is, what his contradictions are, what his methods are and how people react to them, particularly Matt but then you have Foggy going, 'I don't like this man.' … The idea of New York pushing someone to the point where they're going to take justice into their own hands and you don't love what they're doing but you have more than one feeling about it. Will they feel sympathy for him? We hope so. Will they feel just sympathy? We hope not.
Bringing in the likes of Punisher and Elektra will make it seem like there are more "superheroes" in the show, but really Daredevil is the only one. However, both Woll and Henson think their characters bring their own sense of heroism to the show.
Woll: I think heroism comes in different packages. The superhero package is one that we're familiar with, but … I like the idea that as a sort of triad we can represent brawn and brains and kindness and all the different ways that you can contribute as a hero."
Henson: Especially with us three, Karen, Foggy and Matt, ultimately we're in pursuit of what's right. We each have our idea of what 'right and wrong' is. Some people have a bigger gray area that others. [laughs] But we all sort of have that in common, which is we just want to do what's right.
Turning the attention towards Elektra, Loeb had nothing but praise to heap upon Elodie Yung for what she brought to the role. Her background in fighting and overall portrayal of the character should make her an extremely memorable character on the show.
LoebIt helps that Elodie herself has knowledge of martial arts to begin with. It was just a gift that came with the package of the actress. In terms of setting the high bar, for us, it's always going to be what tells the best story. … The relationship between Daredevil and Elektra is what drives them into their action but it's always with this edge of how far she's going to push him and how far he can try to bring her back. … Regardless of whether or not you are seduced, to pick a word, by Elektra's charms, the challenge that she brings to Matt and to the story in terms of how you be a hero and what you fight for and what you believe in has nothing to do with whether or not you're a man or a woman. It has to do with what you're doing as a hero.
Yung herself also talked about what it meant to her to play this character. She calls it the "most exciting part" of her career and is hopeful that more strong female characters like her and Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones will be given the spotlight.
Yung: I am pretty lucky to play Elektra. It's been, so far, the most exciting part I've ever had to play. The physicality and all that, I've done it before and I enjoy it. I like to train, I like to do it right, I like all that. It's also a very complex character and she's a very independent woman. She has her own agenda. She's not the girlfriend of — all of that, I felt very lucky to be able to play her, to embody her and hopefully we'll find more and more strong female characters like her or Jessica Jones.

Celebrated by taste-making culture websites such as The Fader, Dummy and Stereogum - and loved by a network of established and fast-rising entertainers like Ryan Hemsworth, Nina Las Vegas and Tunji Ige - Eddie Johnston, better known as Lontalius, is one of the most crucial musicians to emerge from Wellington in the last decade. Eddie Johnston has been releasing music since the age of 13, but started to turn heads in the last year and a half with his gorgeous Casio covers of Top 40 songs from Nicki Minaj ("Pills N Potions"), Beyonce (a gently crooned "XO"), Ciara ("Body Party"), Drake, Bieber, Pharrell (a mopey "Happy") and others. Approaching the end of his teenaged years, a now 18-year-old Eddie began to create and share his own original compositions. Initially heavy on lo-fi presentation and shoegaze style aesthetics, Eddie's emotionally resonant songs steeped in youth, confusion and sadness have become cleaner, richly melodic, and lyrically focused.

Former Obama aide Alyssa Mastromonaco on the love for her cats: 'They put everything in perspective'
"When the world feels truly terrible, you cannot help but feel that something must be right to have brought these little fur guys into your life," says Mastromonaco, former deputy chief of staff for operations in the Obama White House.

By Alyssa Mastromonaco
Anyone who has ever worked for former White House Chief of Staff Pete Rouse knows of his deep love for cats.
Pete was my boss in the Obama Senate Office back in 2005 (and my sensei to this very day) and we became fast friends. I loved to hear about his cats. After Hurricane Katrina, the Washington Post ran a piece about how all the dogs were being rescued and the cats were going to be euthanized because no one was coming for them. There was a picture of this big, fat beautiful Persian boy named Tommy. I showed him to Pete. He said "go get him right now!"
I had never had a pet on my own before and was very nervous. I went to get Tommy, renamed "Shrum" (yes, after Bob Shrum!) For weeks it felt like a giant raccoon that was going to eat my face was living in my apartment. Shrum wouldn't come out from under this old arm chair until Pete came over to meet him and coax him out.
Shrum, named after political consultant Bob Shrum.Courtesy of Alyssa Mastromonaco.
From that day on, when I turned the lights out to go to sleep, Shrum would jump in bed and sleep by my side all night long. He waited at the front door for me every night (because he was hungry) and never retaliated when I went on trips for days at a time.
Shrum and I went on many of life's adventures together. He moved with me to Chicago when Barack Obama decided to run for president. Julianna Smoot was my roommate and Shrum used to love to throw the entirety of his body weight (23 pounds back then) against her bedroom door until she let him in to cuddle. He made every apartment that I had a home.
The night Obama won the presidency, I wasn't able to celebrate. I had to go to work for the president-elect the next day, but it was fine because I went home to celebrate with Shrum.
He was my best friend.
When I first met my now-husband, David Krone, he fell in love with Shrummie long before he fell in love with me.
Five days after we got married, Shrummie had a stroke. We didn't know it at the time, until we met Dr. Lauren Talarico at SouthPaws VCA in Alexandria, VA. For weeks, we went from vet to vet and were feeling hopeless.
Dr. Talarico spent 15 minutes with Shrummie and diagnosed him with a Fibrocartilagenous Embolism (FCE) in his spine, which was preventing him from walking. She said that with enough dedication he would walk again. She said she just knew it. So Shrummie began his months of physical therapy and acupuncture, both of which he truly hated. We called his grumpy physical therapy alter-ego, Mr Boods. I don't know why but it just fit.
Alyssa Mastromonaco served as deputy chief of staff for operations in the Obama White House and is the author of "So Here's the Thing ...: Notes on Growing Up, Getting Older, and Trusting Your Gut."
He made slow progress, and about a week after I left my job in the White House, he walked again! When we left Washington D.C. to move to New York City, at his last day at SouthPaws, his many teams did a slow clap as we walked out to the car. We were so lucky to have another two years with him, we cherished every day. But when he finally passed, we were broken. We even had to leave our apartment for a few days because it was too painful to be there without him. I didn't think I could ever go through that again.
Until about four weeks later, when I saw this guy called Little Boy on the internet. He had been terrorized living in a dog hoarding situation. The rescue center, Bideawee, said he would need a lot of patience. Bideawee is on the east side of Manhattan, and it was U.N. General Assembly week. David walked several blocks to find a store with a pet carrier and we braved UNGA traffic with Little Boy. It took us a little while to find a suitable name until (with the help of Dan Pfeiffer!) we settled on Petey, after Pete Rouse.

Petey had come such a long way but he really thrived when we adopted Bunny. Queen Bun! She's another Persian princess with lots of attitude. When he would get scared and go hiding, she would go sit with him to let him know it was all OK.
Bun was taken from us way too soon by lung cancer, but after she was diagnosed, we again found the very best vets on this planet (hi Drs. Quagliata, Williams and Liebman) and she enjoyed her final months on this earth largely symptom free until she told me it was her time. Our heartbreak was second only to Petey's which was harder to handle than our own.
See Mika's Monday motivation: Open your heart to pets
Nov. 26, 201901:33
When the world feels truly terrible, you cannot help but feel that something must be right to have brought these little fur guys into your life. In some way or another they put everything in perspective.
Petey is almost 13 years old now, and he has a baby brother Norm, who is almost 3 years and sister, Midgie who is about 7.
Norm just looked like a "Norm". He has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and was found by a rescue in Kuwait on the side of a highway. He came to New York with a plane full of rescues. Midgie came from a terrible breeder, abused, with a broken jaw and a host of issues. They are now an occasionally destructive, always lovable version of the Three Musketeers.

They can be a lot of work, but when I see Petey who used to be afraid of his own shadow, watch the snowplow come by without flinching, or see Midgie sleep on her side, which used to be too painful because of her jaw, or Norm covering up Midgie and Petey's poop and pee in the litter box (having lived in the wild, Norm knows that if you don't bury, other animals can track your scent so he is protecting them!) - I know there are few things in my life I've ever done that are more important.
They are our family.

HomeTravel GuideDomus Aurea
Domus Aurea
One of the more recent attractions in Rome is actually one of the more ancient. The Golden House (Domus Aurea) of Nero, what remains of it, has been excavated and the ruins are now available for public viewing.
Though re-discovered during the Renaissance, they were the subject of a massive restoration project near the end of the 20th century.
Constructed in 64 AD after the devastating fire that burned two-thirds of Rome (at which legend has it Nero fiddled), Domus Aurea is an archaeological treasure trove. At one time many parts were covered with gold foil and the ceiling festooned with ivory and jewels by the extravagant emperor. Alas, these are not on display. They were stripped from the palace shortly after Nero's death.
The original palace and related structures covered 350 acres that included a man-made lake, vineyards and the house itself. Terming the villa a house, however, is misleading. Domus Aurea contained 300 rooms, but is thought to have had no sleeping quarters. None that were intentional, at least. No doubt many passed out where they were during the parties for which Nero was famed.
It was the original site of the huge statue Nero had made, bearing his own likeness of course, that was later relocated to outside the Colosseum. The bronze base of the 40m/130ft statue can still be seen there.
Though much has been destroyed over the centuries, there still remains of Domus Aurea enough to satisfy anyone looking to spend an interesting hour or two tour in a cool place. That's always welcome in Rome, where the temperature can be in the mid-80s even in late October.
The underground, audio-guided tour offers enormous, fresco-covered vaults and many rooms to explore. The frescoes painted by Fabullus, a noted artist of the period were executed in a style popular in Pompeii, the doomed city not far from Rome.
The Renaissance artist Raphael used them as models for some of his own work, and many Renaissance artists – including Michaelangelo – went to visit the (then) newly discovered palace frescoes. Both artists left their signatures scratched in the walls, to be later joined by such luminaries as Casanova and the Marquis de Sade.
The tour shows a wide variety – some areas of Domus Aurea are shadowed ruins with barely visible carvings. Others are fully restored golden and marble walls with largely intact paintings and fireplaces.
Grottos abound in the underground area, but the most impressive portion is unquestionably the Octagon Room. Here Nero, a great fan of Greek art, housed a statue of the Dying Gaul, which can now be seen in the Pallazo Altemps museum.
Outside Domus Aurea, there are gardens and a reconstruction of the octagonal room that allow the visitor to clearly imagine what living there must have been like.

today, after a 6 months stabilization and debugging phase we release the first milestone towards a stable version: batman advanced 0.1. As this implementation resides in the kernel land only we wanted to make sure its stability before releasing it to the public.
This batman implemention is marked with the label "advanced" to outline the fact that it operates on layer 2 (mac layer) as opposed to batman which operates on layer 3. To gain optimal performance it resides in the kernel as a module and can be enabled/disabled/configured via the /proc/net/batman-adv/ interface.
Unfortunately, we can not offer precompiled packages for your kernel as the module sources need to be linked against your very own kernel headers. If you are using debian you will find packages that you can install via apt-get. OpenWRT also has the package included. If you intend to use the module on your own system, simply download the sources, build and load the module.
Special thanks to Sven Eckelmann and Scott Raynel who spent a considerable amount of time testing, debugging and patching the sources. We included all their patches which allow us to release today.

Youssef Saheb Ettabaâ (), né vers 1765 et décédé le , est un mamelouk d'origine moldave qui devint un homme politique de la régence de Tunis.

Biographie

Début de carrière
Réduit en esclavage et racheté, alors qu'il avait treize ans, par Baccar Djellouli, caïd-gouverneur, armateur et riche commerçant sfaxien, en 1777 à Istanbul, il vit quelques années à Sfax chez la famille Djellouli, tout en s'accoutumant avec les usages et la langue tunisienne. Parvenu à l'âge de raison, il est offert en 1781 au prince Hammouda Pacha, âgé de 18 ans et déjà associé au règne de son père depuis 1777. Le ministre Hammouda Ben Abdelaziz se charge de son instruction.

Homme fort de la Tunisie
Devenu une personnalité influente, Youssef, particulièrement intelligent, occupe le poste de garde des sceaux, c'est-à-dire qu'il est nommé saheb ettabaâ, dès 1782, en remplacement de Moustapha Khodja qui demeure le principal ministre du bey ; il s'impose toutefois comme le principal gouverneur de la politique beylicale et s'impose aussi comme le premier négociant de la régence.

Entre 1783 et 1815, une grande partie du pouvoir économique tunisien est entre les mains de Saheb Ettabaâ. Il modifie le fermage, contrôle mieux les recettes des impôts et fixe des familles de caïds qui deviennent ses indispensables. Diplomate, Youssef Saheb Ettabaâ rapproche le souverain avec la dynastie ottomane. En 1795, il contrôle les barrières à l'importation et à l'exportation de toute l'activité commerciale et élimine le précepte d'achat par anticipation ; il surveille également le commerce artisanal, notamment celui destiné à la fabrication de la chéchia et intensifie la course à l'armement en mer Méditerranée durant les années de rivalités franco–britanniques.

Principal ministre de la régence
Saheb Ettabaâ devient principal ministre en 1800, après le décès de Moustapha Khodja. Osman Bey le désigne khaznadar (trésorier, ministre des Finances) lors de son accession au trône. Trop puissant, il est assassiné après la mort de son protecteur Hammouda Pacha, à l'instigation des princes Hussein et Moustapha manipulés par Mohamed Larbi Zarrouk Khaznadar, leur oncle maternel de lait. L'acte est motivé par sa fine connaissance des rouages du pouvoir et la jalousie de Zarrouk pour sa position prépondérante au gouvernement. L'attaque a lieu le  devant l'entrée du sérail du palais du Bardo ; il meurt à la suite de ses blessures le .

Faits marquants
Saheb Ettabaâ est à l'origine de la construction de la mosquée portant son nom à Halfaouine. Cette mosquée est un très bel édifice qui se distingue par sa riche décoration : emploi de marbres précieux pour les colonnes ainsi que pour le revêtement des murs intérieurs  et stucs finement ciselés pour les plafonds. Alors que sa construction débute le , elle est inaugurée le  ; les travaux sont placés sous la direction de l'architecte Haj Sassi Ben Frija. Juste à côté de la mosquée, Saheb Ettabaâ édifie également deux médersas et un mausolée constituant ainsi un complexe architectural impressionnant.

Before and After: Exterior of the duplex located in Dallas.
Through the blog, I get a few emails requesting design work. Unfortunately, many requests are for houses not located in Houston. Since the blog takes up so much of my time, I no longer am able to travel far from Houston for design work. When a reader doesn't live here, I try to recommend a local designer, if I know of one. If not, I'll recommend a designer who does online decorating. Such was the case with this one reader who wrote that she was moving from Houston into an 80 year old duplex in Dallas.
The homeowner sent me these pictures before she moved in to show me what she had to work with. The duplex had a lot of character - there were hardwood floors and a painted white brick fireplace.
Additionally, there were lots of windows and arched doorways, along with a health addicted former tenant. Despite the exciting challenge, I didn't think it would be in her best interest to work with me – she needed someone in Dallas that could take her out shopping and then return to the duplex to bring it all together.
I referred her to fellow designer Emily Johnston Larkin of the very popular Material Girls blog HERE. Emily and her friend Lauren started Material Girls around the same time as Cote de Texas. Emily wrote about Dallas, while Lauren wrote about Houston. Today the blog has grown - there are now six Material Girls who write for it from all over the country. Emily and I had a special bond – both our spouses are named Ben and both are rabid University of Texas fans. We would email each other with tales of our respective Ben screaming into the TV over some football loss or win. So, when thinking of a designer to recommend in Dallas, I knew the homeowner would be a perfect fit with the beautiful Emily. A positive was that Sarah, the homeowner, and Emily are closer in age and probably closer in design aesthetics. After I made the referral, I didn't think of it very often. I didn't even know if they ever connected until a few weeks ago when Emily emailed me with photographs of the finished living areas! I was very pleasantly stunned – to say the least. Emily said she wanted to keep it all on the q-t until the job was over so that she could surprise me - and surprise me, she did.
Here are the before shots of what the duplex looked like after Sarah had moved in and before Emily was hired. She owned a cute settee, along with a persimmon painted chest.
There was a green sofa in the living area.
After moving in, the one change Sarah made was to paint the walls a soft khaki color. Notice the pretty cove ceiling.
And here is what it looks likes today – thanks to Emily! What a transformation!!!! Wow.
Another view of the living area and into the dining room. I love the color scheme – the white upholstery mixed in with pops of chartreuse and bright orange. The color choices makes the room look youthful and hip.
Here's what Emily had to say about the design scheme. The homeowner, Sarah, didn't have a huge budget, so Emily mixed high and low elements to get as big of a bang as possible. The cowhide rug was Sarah's, so that was a plus. It was layered over a new sisal rug. Emily says that Sarah said she liked a "Cote de Texas" look – so she knew Sarah would love the sisal and cowhide mixed with a new white slipcovered sofa from….IKEA! Yes!!! The famous IKEA sofa. Look how good it looks here – at first glance, I didn't even realize it was from IKEA, I thought they had slipcovered her existing sofa. But as Emily knows, slipcovering an existing sofa is twice the price of a new $389 IKEA sofa. Great choice. She added two new French inspired chairs from Palacek, along with off white curtains from Restoration Hardware. The French bench also came from Restoration Hardware which was recovered in a chartreuse velvet from Pindler and Pindler.
The artwork above the sofa are old handwritten notes from Sarah's grandmother, mother, and teachers that she has kept all these years. First, she enlarged the notes on a copier, then she placed them in frames bought from IKEA. The notes are a wonderful idea – they add a personal touch to the space, plus they look like a big piece of art when framed and hung like this. Great idea!!!
Sarah really wanted a bricklayer's table but didn't want to pay a fortune for what is essentially a rustic piece. Her father came to the rescue and made it himself with the help of a welder.
The modern gold bowl came from Stephanie Anne – a favorite store of Sarah's in Dallas. This was one high priced accessory – most all other accessories came from Anthropologie and Home Goods.
Emily added glass knobs to the orange chest to dress it up a bit. Notice how all the greens tie in together. The orange of the chest is repeated in the pillow fabrics.
Restoration Hardware curtains soften the window side of the room.
The gold and glass console adds a contemporary touch, as does the white lamp. I love the touch of lilac found in the shade.
More contemporary touches is the gold mirror from Horchow. The vase brings in another touch of bright chartreuse.
The bright pillow fabric ties in with the other pops of color. Behind the chair is a commissioned work of art.
One special touch is the commissioned canvas by Dallas artist Lindsey Meyer HERE. The art work brings in all the colors used in the duplex.
Sarah collects antiques at Round Top and had inherited some from her beloved grandmother – these were used to give the room patina and character.
More personal touches are the antlers resting in an old silver tray. I love this juxtaposition between fine and rustic.
I really love monograms – a bowl of matches like this is handy for lighting candles and is a great guest gift. Other items to monogram are paper napkins, soaps and guest towels. Pottery Barn has a great selection of gift items that can be personalized with your monogram.
A glimpse into the dining area shows a skirted table with a painted white case, sconces and an unseen chandelier.
The burlap skirt is dressed up with X stitchery and white painted Chinoiserie style chairs. Cute black and white tiled floors lead into the kitchen.
Sarah was very close to her 101 year old landlord, Katie, who passed away this past summer while we were working on her living room (Katie had lived in the unit above Sarah since the 1960's!) At the urging of Katie's friends, Sarah took ownership of both duplexes. The décor in Katie's unit hadn't changed since the 60's so Sarah and her dad (through blood, sweat and tears J) renovated it. Once they were done, Sarah buried a letter that she wrote, under the floorboards of Katie's former duplex that told Katie's story. Her hope was that fifty years from now, another landlord would find it and know how special the duplex was to both Katie and Sarah.
To contact Emily Johnston Larkin, please visit her web site for all the details HERE. A huge thank you to Emily and Sarah for sharing the story of their before & after!
What a great before and after. I like how you mentioned the fabrics giving the space a young and hip vibe. I think they mixed neutrals and color pops perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
Fresh, traditional and hip all at the same time! delicous colors!
*** The change is simply wonderful, Joni, AND, the story about Sarah & Katie truly touched my heart, making me smile... and, thinking somebody "up there" totally loves the sentimentality of the letter!!! I know I do!!!
That is so neat about the letter being buried.....sounds like it was a labor of love. Nicely done..its so pretty and fresh, and love all the pops of color. Thanks!
This is such a beautiful home! I love the coral, which is such a lovely color. The letters enlarged as art? Genius. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!! But for some reason all of the images didn't show up for me...dayum!
Really lovely, and it's easy to see the Cote de Texas influence! Love the story about the hidden note. Thanks for sharing!
The two rooms are really adorable.The pillows on the side chairs and the artwork are my favorite elements.
I have to say, as the owner of one of those Ikea sofas, I hate it. It is so uncomfortable that we just shoved in a corner in the basement.It is darn cute though.
Joni, What a great post. I love the transformation. Two memorable items stick in my mind: the cool circular Horchow mirror and the commissioned painting. Finally, I love your conclusion to this post--almost "Paul-Harveyish"...now for the rest of the story. Fast forward 50 years... Cleverly written! P.S. I haven't forgotten about sending you the before and after pics of my daughter's kitchen. We were displaced four months ago, the result of a plumbing mistake--HUGE mistake. When I get moved back into our home, in probably 6 months, I will find the cd of the pics and send them your way. Thanks for your patience.
I truly appreciate by reading this new and informative real estate article titled "A Material Girl Before & After in Dallas ". I expect more and more articles in upcoming future.
I remain by wishing you a very happy New Year !
Great story, and I love seeing a transformation on a budget that looks high end. Very Hamptons! Would love to see antiqued mirror backing the wall cutout, and please someone, this gal deserves a flat screen. What is the source on the console?
Wow - amazing transformation. I really enjoy your blog - every one of your posts is enjoyable and full of great ideas. The eye candy is fun too !
Beautiful rooms, that is a well served client. I love the use of the script in the frames, and that the dad was involved in the project. That's so sweet.
I really enjoyed looking at this space especially because it was a high-low design. Too many of the interior photos floating around are gorgeous but expensively so. This was charming and attainable!
Joni a wonderful post with a special story.
The blending of a fun color palette and layering of old/ new; high/ low end makes this home feel so natural.
Favorites are the art, the coffee table, the Horchow mirror, and so much more!
I used to drive by this duplex all the time when I worked for a design firm in Dallas! I always daydreamed about what it looked like on the inside and fantazised about owning such a charming little piece of real estate for myself. Beautifully done!
Those rooms are picture perfect! I love the letters idea - totally stealing that!
LOVE the handwritten notes transformed into artwork! What a clever idea. I'm sure we'll see more of great DIY project/idea in the near future in other homes.
Wonderful of you Joni to pass the address of Emily and congratultions to the home owner to follow your advice to hire Emily! Well done!
Very nice duplex with lovely porches, nicely sized room and molding. Do you have pictures of the kitchen, bedroom and bath areas. Love the table inherited from the owner's grandmother. It adds depth to all of the lighter pieces and the framed letters are very effective.
Love this! My favorite idea is the handwritten notes that are framed. It's so sentimental but modern looking at the same time.
I love that apartment and perfect for a young woman. I also love Sarah's idea of the letter what a sweet way to remember her friend. So many wonderful ideas to take away now I must go check out that artist.
Great job! I know this house and that neighborhood!
Beautiful! So excited to see my lovely and talented friend Lindsey Meyer's artwork featured on my most favorite blog. YAY!!
I am a watercolor artist, so embracing the persimmon chest by adding a complementary color such as chartreuse is perfect. The eye loves such a contrast. The new space is fresh, sophisticated and most importantly, it looks cozy and comfortable! Thank you all for sharing the project, and inspiring and reminding us that we don't have to put off updating our homes until we win the lottery.
Joni, you are one of the best bloggers for teaching me design tenets that previously escaped me. So help me out here? There is something about this living room that is off for me, and I don't know what it is. Perhaps if you explain it to me, I'll have a learning moment! It seems like it belongs in a catalog, rather than to a real person, but I can't figure out why. I think it is lovely, balanced, youthful, etc - all those great things, but something is just "off". I don't mean to disparage the designers great work in any way, more than I'm trying to learn more about discerning good design choices and how to complete a room so it doesn't look overly designed. Help?
What a loving before and after! It proves that you don't need lots of money to have a beautiful place. It's the thoughtful tie to family that makes Sarah's home distinctly hers. Not cluttered, but filled with the things she loves!
So much fun!!! Love the framed note idea...really charming and sentimental.
Wow, what a transformation and what a gorgeous color palette! The neutral foundation is perfect for these colors to shine, yet it's done with restraint and elegance. Great work!
Thanks! LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog.
getgrounded, what may appear off to you is that all of the colors seem to be the same value. My eye immediately went to the stained table and two chairs in the corner because that was the only place that had depth. With all of the fabrics being light, there is not much to ground this room. While it is the owner's choice, I don't think the bench was the best choice as seating space given that it and the cocktail table are the same height.
Loved this re-creation! Have to agree with the comment about the Ikea couch that looks so good but is so very uncomfortable.
I'm ready to incorporate some of the ideas from today's blog into my home for sure.
I love so much about this renovation! The juxtaposition of traditional-contemporary; neutral-pops of color; rough luxe and sleek smooth; vintage and new. It makes for fun, livable and beautiful home!
I aspire to this environment in my own home. Thanks for the blog. You keep me dreaming!
Hi Joni - you were so sweet to introduce me to Emily. I love working with her - she is just as professional as she is fun. Thank you for the post, as well. As a huge fan of Cote de Texas, I'm so humbled. If you could only see the FUN we've had in this room...watch parties for the Oscars, The Bachelor, the Royal Wedding, a tea honoring Katie after she passed away, birthday parties, and so much more. Thanks for sharing about Katie too - she was so dear. Blessings Joni!
thanks to all! So glad you enjoyed seeing the room. I too loved the letters idea. What a great idea. I would have never thought of that!
the ikea sofa. i had never sat in it before my daughter got one and I just have to say that i find it very very comfortable. that's weird that a few of you said you didn't. I was surprised how nice and soft it was. So - it's personal. If you are in the market for one - go try it out yourself first. don't go by me or the ones who say it isn't comfortable.
I still say that for the price of an expensive meal that we all know how that ends up after we digest it - flushed down the toilet - instead you can have a nice, new, stylish sofa that you can work almost any design around.
One issue GG is having might be the professional photography. It tends to make everything look a little sterile and hands-off. I am wondering if that might be what is bothering you.
I see what you mean by "over designed" - yes, it DOES look like she hired a designer. You can see what it looked liked before - and after. Not sure why hiring a designer would be a negative though. Given a choice between the before and after - which would you honestly choose?
Another thing that might be bothering you personally - there are a lot of accessories as opposed to books. Some people don't like accessories around - things that have no use except to look pretty. You might be one of those. People like you would feel happier surrounded by books they've read, magazine stacks, etc. There isn't much of that in this room. your coffee table might be piled high with oversized books and a basket filled with remote controls. This room is a little more dressy for your style perhaps.
The contemporary touches also might not be your choice - the mirror, the console, again - the accessories. this is a personal choice. The designer used the contemporary touches to make the room trendy, fresh, and youthful with a touch of glam. that's just not your aesthetic. You just aren't relating to this design on a personal level. Nothing wrong with that - it's a good teaching exercise for someone like you.
And, one more thing - you might not like accessorizing mantels. You probably would want candlesticks that you truly used up there, or shells that you collected on a trip, etc.
GG, I know your living room - you are much more organic and like a more casual, beachy look. This room just isn't your style. I bet that you liked the dining room though. just wondering if you did?
On to anon - I have to disagree about the room not being grounded because of the white. I find that cowhide rug being dark grounds the seating arrangement. Also, the coffee table helps to ground it. Perhaps if there was a small wood accent piece between the two chairs, it might feel even more grounded.
Funny you mention the card table and chairs - that was the one element that i felt didn't look as great as the rest of the room! interesting how design appeals to people in different ways. you might be right about the height of the bench and table, but I have to say - I adore the look of the bench with the bright fabric. It pops the whole room - I loved it even if it might be a tad too high.
The card table with its nice patina adds a lot of warmth as would one additional antique perhaps in a taller piece.
speechless and touched joni - lovely post. sarah sounds like quite a girl and i love the katie story. emily is so talented. the rooms are gorgeous. sometimes i think i could design, and then i see what someone does on a budget lie this and i am speechless - all the wonderful touches, the whimsy of the antlers, the contemporary notes, the cote de texas vibe...just fabulous.
excellent matchmaking, by the way! congrats emily and sarah. so sorry about katie - what a gift to make a friend like that.
Oh, now this is adorable. What a sophisticated, yet happy approach to a young gals home. Emily did a great job for her! I want to go and visit!
So pretty and such great investment pieces! I doubt the homeowner will be tired of anything in that room. The art work makes an amazing difference and framing the enlarged letters was a super creative solution!
What a great story! I lived in Dallas for a while, and I think I know about where this is -- or at least some buildings like it. These older buildings have great character and charm, and the ladies did a wonderful job making it look fresh and smart.
Joni, thank you for the lesson! I went back and looked at the photos, and you're right, it isn't the design. I actually like the layout, the bench, the chairs, etc. And the room is definitely grounded, all the wood flooring, sisal rug, black fireplace screen, so no problems there. It's the orange and greens with nothing to cool it off. Just not my personal taste! Even the flooring has a lot of orange in it. And you are very correct, when I looked at the photos I did think that the dining room was better - of course it's that textural burlap that made it for me. That helped me a lot, the way you explained it, thanks. Not enough texture for my taste, and too hot visually. But that's merely a personal preference and has nothing to do with taste levels. It's all good, and she did a great job. Thanks!
It's pleasant. There are very few fresh ideas here. Even the throw-pillow fabric is tired. But if you want to be surrounded by what you've seen a thousand times, it's fine.
I like it. I love the general serene Cote de Texas look (why else would I be here...?) to look at but for myself, I need some pops of contrast. Also, I love chartreuse. So I like the look here, overall.
I do think just a TOUCH of darker contrast - ebonized wood, perhaps, on a Louis chair with light upholstery? A chartruese pillow with black trellis? Would have grounded it a bit. But I believe even the lightest room needs a touch of black, so that's my bias there.
I love the persimmon chest, though. And I have sat on the IKEA sofa and I at 5'0" and my husband at 6'2" both found it comfortable, which almost never happens! That's why its still on my list for when I get my next sofa.
Joni, I've got it. It's too symmetrical for me. I know you love symmetry, and I'm one of those people who avoid symmetry as much as possible. There's pairs of everything in this room, and that's why it doesn't feel like it has any life to me. Again, just personal preference. Whew, glad to figure it out.
Some day the persimmon piece may go into the dining area for storage and a taller wood tone piece could take its place. I really like the little niche above the card table, but I think it would be very pretty painted inside some day when that dark taller piece may be in place. The accessories look purchased for the job rather than collected. However, this is a young person who has not had the time to have acquired a lot of personal objects. That will come in time and then the mantle will take on more interest. Mantles can be difficult to dress and compliment at the same time what is happening in a room.
I ignored whatever you have written, i just kept on scrolling down to see more of pictures. I myself is Interior Designer and this gives me Inspiration and idea for my work. How much all those things cost?
Oops, not dressing monks here. MANTLES needs to be MANTELS. Don't you just hate English? Sorry about that for all of you great spellers out there.
Martins, of Interior Designer Chicago fame, it looks like you have already figured out the cost of design and have found inspiration of your own. You also look smart so why the deliberately written poor grammar such as "I myself is" and "how much all those things cost"?
Martin has found his zen through the practice and teaching of yoga. With a BA in Interior Design from the Chicago School of the Arts, Martin Buka specializes in crafting one of a kind results from concept to creation.
So Martin, grow up and enjoy your own successful practice and work a bit on your grammar. Keep that wrist limp and work a bit more on your snark.
This room looks absolutely lovely. I love the fact that it has some fresh, youthful colours and modern accents mixed with some very classic pieces. It is a look that can be easily updated very inexpensively. Well done!
What a sweet story and a lovely makeover! Love the color choices here. Very young and fresh, a nice mix. I love the antlers on the silver tray. Great idea.
Beautiful makeover, made so much better by the wonderful story. Thanks for sharing!
Pretty, fresh, youthful, girly and glam!
Thanks, Joni, Emily and Sarah!
Fantastic interiors! Love the painting as well! Thank you for sharing it!

I LOVE what Emily did here. It looks like an entirely different space. I love the color pallete she chose. That brass and glass console table is a dream. I love the framed letters. I'm totally doing that with old love letters sent throughout the years from me and my husband who was overseas. This room is a dream. I hope the client is happy.
Does anyone know the fabric that is on the chairs? Thanks!!

Interesting and impressive blog for Interior Designers. Your blogs provide us many ideas and inspire us for making our house more beautiful and amazing. Please keep sharing.
I like the house and its form. Enough space for me and my family. But the problem here, is if you want to rearrange the things it will be difficult to move side by side.
Nice post, I am so happy to see your home after renovation. All things looking so pretty, designing and decorating are also looking pretty. I must say it is beautiful to see the color combination of furniture and walls. Keep sharing such a nice post with us.
