America felt like it was on the verge of something in 1927, with forces great and small combining for a singular summer. In his latest book, Bill Bryson tells the story — or rather, the many, sometimes connected stories — of that time. From Charles Lindbergh's historic flight across the Atlantic to Babe Ruth's record-breaking string of home runs, from the execution of Ferdinando Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti to a little-noticed Supreme Court decision allowing the government to go after criminals for not paying taxes on their ill-gotten gains, Bryson artfully strings together the events of the summer of 1927, some now obscure and others well known, to explore how modern America was forming.
"It's a little hard to imagine now, but Americans in the 1920s had grown up in a world in which most of the most important things happened in Europe," he writes. "Now suddenly America was dominant in nearly every field — in popular culture, finance and banking, military might, invention and technology. The center of gravity for the planet was moving to the other side of the world, and Charles Lindbergh's flight somehow became the culminating expression of that."
Author of A Walk in the Woods and I'm a Stranger Here Myself, Bryson digs into the history behind the summer of 1927 and frequently moves forward in time. He details the results and consequences of the events to try to understand everything from a new style of baseball that involved hitting the ball out of the park to the influence of radio, television and movies with sound.
"Moviegoers around the world suddenly found themselves exposed, often for the first time, to American voices, American vocabulary, American cadence and pronunciation and word order," Bryson writes. "Spanish conquistadores, Elizabethan courtiers, figures from the Bible were suddenly speaking in American voices — and not just occasionally but in film after film after film….With American speech came American thoughts, American attitudes, American sense of humor and sensibilities. Peacefully, by accident, and almost unnoticed, America had just taken over the world."
Not everything that Bryson writes about neatly fits in the summer of 1927. The Jazz Singer, the movie that ended the era of silent film, premiered in October. The first television broadcast in the United States — of Commerce Secretary and future President Herbert Hoover in Washington, D.C., addressing a group of reporters in New York City — took place in April of that year.
And not everything that happened that summer was rosy and exciting. Ford stopped production for five months, ending the era of the Model T and laying off all of his factory workers, 60,000 in Detroit alone and tens of thousands elsewhere. It was also the summer an anonymous housewife and her lover killed her husband with the weight from a window sash in what became the most talked about criminal case that summer. The country also became oddly transfixed by a man sitting on a flag pole.
One Summer: America, 1927 is at its most interesting when it delves into what people paid attention to. The Sash Weight murder trial got far more press than the Sacco and Vanzetti case, yet Sacco and Vanzetti are the ones we remember. Western adventure writer Zane Grey sold far more novels than any of the Lost Generation writers. Bryson notes that he made $325,000 in 1927 while F. Scott Fitzgerald cleared just $37,599 "in his best year."
Another book that was immensely popular the summer of 1927 was the now-forgotten The President's Daughter, a salacious tell-all by a woman who had a passionate affair with President Warren G. Harding while he was running the most corrupt White House in American history. The affair began years after Nan Britton developed a school-girl crush on Harding when he was a newspaper publisher.
"Harding was thirty-one years (Nan) Britton's senior and was in any case engaged in a hot affair with his wife's best friend — he truly was a bit of a dog — so a crush was as far as things ever seemed likely to go. But then Miss Britton did something that Warren Harding always found hard to resist: she grew into womanhood," Bryson writes.
One Summer covers an enormous cast of characters that are deeply researched and rendered to entertain. Babe Ruth isn't just an amazing baseball player. He's a lovable rogue, a womanizing gambler who can't keep his finances straight and can't quite remember his mother's name. Herbert Hoover is stiff and boring but exceptionally competent and politically astute. And in 1927, when he ran relief efforts during the Great Mississippi Flood, he was still well-liked.
"Soon he would be the most derided president of his time — quite an achievement for someone elected in the same decade as Warren G. Harding — but in the spring of 1927 he was, by a very wide margin, the world's most trusted man," Bryson writes. "He was also, curiously, perhaps the least likable hero America has ever produced."
Bryson's gathering of facts is impressive. He finds the strange trivia and surprising little coincidences that make history fun, and his breezy style and running commentary make for an enjoyable read.

A coalition of livestock and related groups is urging the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reject the USDA animal identification rule. They have met with OMB officials and have written a letter outlining their concerns.
R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard tells Brownfield their main concern is that the USDA grossly underestimated the cost that this animal ID system will have on independent cattle producers.
Bullard says, "USDA claims the cost will be low. We've submitted studies that show the cost is likely to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars."
Bullard says this rule brings producers to the doorway of the USDA's former National Animal Identification System, or NAIS, which was tamped down by the outcry in rural America, "So they tried to scale it back," says Bullard, "And they are now going forward with the initial steps of a full blown mandatory government program that is imposing the obligation on every independent producer to identify every head of animal that they have on their farms or ranches."
He says says the system is driven by the corporate ag lobby and export market potential at the cost of putting smaller producers out of business. Bullard says they believe the USDA's current traceability requirements in existing animal disease control programs are sufficient.
The comment period on the rule ended last December. The White House budget review that is going on now is the final step before it would be enacted.

However there was no discussion of putting rails back down on the rail corridor. And there are no plans to do so. The corridor will be used for walking, biking and horses for as far into the future as anyone can see.
I've been attending these meetings from the start and am quite sure the rails component has been on the table, though obviously for, way out in the future.
Perhaps I missed the meeting where that idea was crossed off the list? Even at early board of commissioner meetings on the subject the rail access was cited as one of the key aspects to benefit the county in the long run. So, while you are correct that it was not discussed at last week's meeting, it's been my understanding all along that it was part of the ultimate plan. I will look into clarifying that this week. If you have more information, please contact me. Thank you - Nathalie

Remembering the Storm of '62
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
Part 1
WDEL takes a look back. Here's part one of our three part series.
"And I saw this wall of water."
"The building was kind of still intact, but all the water washing up and chairs and stuff floating underneath it."
"The devastation, you couldn't believe."
84-year-old Hazel Brittingham of Lewes remembers the morning of March 6, 1962, didn't look particularly ominous.
"It wasn't a kind of a morning that you wondered, 'Well, is school going to be called off or any such thing. We went to school," Brittingham said.
But Brittingham, a school secretary in Lewes, says they got word a storm was hitting Rehoboth, so she drove there with the superintendent to check things out.
"We were two streets back on Rehoboth Avenue, two streets from the boardwalk, and I looked up and I saw this wall of water, and that was the wall of water that was taking away the boardwalk and all the buildings along the boardwalk. And I didn't intend to scream, but I screamed," she said.
Winds of more than 60 miles an hour blew as water surged through beach communities. Wendy Carey is with the University of Delaware Sea Grant College.
"Consistently high storm surge, the regular astronomical tide, and the huge waves. The fact that it was three days and five high tide cycles resulted in the dramatic and devastating damage along the coast."
Sam Cooper is mayor of Rehoboth Beach and was only 9 years old when the storm hit. He recalls walking around to see the damage with his parents and aunt and uncle.
"And went to Maryland Avenue and the Atlantic Sands Hotel, the whole one side of it had fallen in and carpets were flapping."
Lonnie Field was 13 and watched as the water came up to his house in Bowers Beach.
"The tide was still coming in and I remember it coming in so fast, it actually was coming up the driveway in a stream and coming over our lawn, which, there was a rise in the lawn, so it backed up behind the lawn, and then we actually saw it breach the lawn like a dam."
Field wrote a song about the storm.....
Seven people in Delaware died in the storm, including most of a family.
"A lot of our neighbors weren't so lucky, and of course, there was the death of the six children. They were actually washed up behind our house, that's where they found them."
The storm sat over the coast for three days.
Part 2
WDEL is taking a look back. Here's part two of our series.
Bill Reynolds of Lewes was working at the local fish factory in March 1962.
"A friend of ours, he was one of the fire policeman. He said, 'Bill, it looks like we're in for a long night.' He said, 'That tide is really raising.'"
"And we could see how the waves were getting bigger and getting closer to the shore, so, sure enough, they dismissed us at about 3 o'clock so we could get off the beach because the storm was coming."
Reynolds was a 26-year-old firefighter with the Lewes Fire Department.
"I had no sooner got home and they set the whistle off. We started. Oh, gosh, it was.... I put in two days, I think two or three days. I was so tired."
The 76-year-old Reynolds recalls using fire trucks and military trucks known as deuce-and-a-halfs to rescue people, some of whom waited until the last second to ask for help.
"We made rounds, and some of them, we said, 'Look, this is our last call. If you don't take the ride now, don't know whether we'll be able to get back to you or not.' They said, 'We're gonna go.'"
Bill and many other fire department members saved about 70 families during that long night. The fire house and a school were used to house people whose homes were flooded.
"The houses were just demolished, and stuff floating everywhere. Stuff was where it wasn't supposed to be."
62-year-old Wayne Magee was 12 at the time, and says his father launched the family pontoon boat on a street in Fenwick Island to help neighbors who wanted to see their homes after the surge.
"He told his friend, and another friend told another one, 'Hey, we found a way to get in and check our property, so everybody loaded up on Dad's pontoon boat, and then we went riding down the streets, across the bay into Ocean City, down the roads. It's just hard to believe the devastation."
Magee says they were chased back more than once by the National Guard, which was called in to try to prevent looting.
After the water receded, sand was feet deep everywhere. Melvin Rust of Dagsboro, now 80 years old, had a small bulldozer back then.
"All you seen was a path plowed open of sand so you could get through with a vehicle, pert near like if you had about two or three foot of snow out here, so you plowed it open just so you could get through."
A lot of the work was in moving sand back under vacation homes for out-of-towners.
"All you got to do is go down there and get started pushing on one or two, and if some of them people down there, or if they knew somebody, there was no way of getting out of there just on one job or two jobs, they had me hopping all over the place."
Part 3
In part three of our series "Remembering the Storm of '62," a look at whether, and when, a storm like this could happen again.
The storm of 1962 was not only the most deadly coastal storm in Delaware's recorded history, it was also the most costly.
"It is the coastal storm of record in Delaware, and I think it's a very important part of our history."
Wendy Carey, the coastal hazards specialist with the University of Delaware Sea Grant College, says the estimated damage from the storm was at least $70 million, or as much as half a billion in today's dollars.
35-knot winds blew across a thousand miles of ocean water, generating waves up to 40 feet tall, but inland areas were affected as well, because the storm brought sleet and snow.
"There were power outages, and, for example, approximately one to one-and-a-half million broiler chickens were lost because of the cold temperatures in the chicken houses. Additionally, there were impacts to the oyster industry, the clam industry."
Fifty 50 years later, Rehoboth Beach, as well as Lewes, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island, are all thriving vacation destinations. But the forces of nature could conspire again to bring another storm like the one in '62.
"We in the business know that there is another storm out there that's bigger than this one. It's a question of when that will happen."
Tony Pratt, administrator of the shoreline and waterway management section for DNREC, says regulatory standards for coastal building were put in place following the storm, but there is constant preparation for storms.
"That's why we spend a lot of time and a lot of energy and a lot of money on rebuilding the beaches. We nourish the beaches, we rebuild the dunes, and our coast of Delaware today physically is in far better shape than it was before the '62 storm because of the amount of work we've done to pump sand onto the beaches and create better dunes than we've had in the past."
Some think too much building is being allowed too close to the shoreline. Wayne Magee of Lewes thinks we're overdue for another big storm, and people are complacent.
"I got a place on the water down south, and I don't put anything there that I can't afford to lose. If you want to put up a million dollar home, don't complain about it. You're a grown person. Take your lickings if it comes. You sure ain't gonna stop it."
"It might happen two weeks from now, it may happen 27 years from now, it could happen 150 years from now. It will happen. This storm will be exceeded at some point. We don't know when that is."

Kenny Chesney is no stranger to gold and platinum album and single certifications, and now he's earned a new batch of heavy metal to put on his walls. Kenny's Greatest Hits II album has been certified platinum, and his single "Come Over" has also picked up a platinum certification for a million paid downloads.
Kenny's older singles, "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" and "The Good Stuff," from his 2002 album No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems , have also gone gold, and Kenny is proud those songs continue connect with fans to this day.
"If people can see themselves in these songs… especially ones like 'No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems' and 'The Good Stuff'… then I can feel good about it not just being a moment, but a truth," Kenny says. "As a songwriter, that's what you're reaching for, and as a fan, it's everything about what the songs that have marked my life meant to me."
Kenny's brand-new single, "Pirate Flag," will go to radio on January 31.

To strike fiscal deal, Obama turns to the publicBy Alexis Simendinger, Real Clear Politics
President Obama isn't anchored to a chair in the White House with House and Senate leaders, sweating out a budget deal before Dec. 31 -- not yet anyway. Instead, he's spending the week meeting with business representatives and other stakeholders before flying Friday to a Pennsylvania toy factory for a photo op to champion middle-class tax breaks.Read more
Now touring, the debt duo, Simpson-BowlesBy Jackie Calmes, The New York Times
Theirs is an improbable buddy act that is making for unlikely entertainment from campuses to corporations on a most serious subject: the federal debt. The proof of their appeal: some business groups pay them $40,000 each per appearance. Really. To discuss budgets and baselines.Read more
Cliff notes: Would House Republicans actually vote for a "fiscal cliff" deal that would raise tax rates?By John Dickerson, Slate Magazine
President Obama is adamant that he will only agree to a "fiscal cliff" solution that raises tax rates on those making over $250,000. The Republicans in the majority in the House of Representatives are adamant that they will not vote for those tax increases—Speaker John Boehner chief among them. I asked a senior House leadership aide the what chances were that Boehner would be able to get a majority of Republicans to vote for a tax increase of any kind: "pretty close to zero."Read more

Jeb Bush talks education, but politics comes to mindBy Beth Reinhard, National Journal
The former governor was passionate and persuasive as he opened his fifth annual education conference in Washington, D.C. He made a strong case for holding all students to the same academic standards as a way to bridge the nation's growing income inequality gaps, seamlessly blending the concerns of liberals and conservatives, suburban moms and corporate executives. Among the hundreds of policy wonks in the audience were powerful political consultants and fundraisers chomping at the bit should he run for public office again.Read more from National Journal

What do Americans want from a Fiscal-Cliff deal?By Molly Ball, The Atlantic
Congress is back in session and working on a solution for the looming fiscal cliff crisis [Photo: CNN]
With lawmakers getting down to business on a fiscal-cliff deal, interest groups are working overtime to tell the politicians what voters want them to do.
This matters a lot, obviously; all else being equal, politicians are much more likely to take stands they believe to be political winners. But when it comes to concocting the perfect blend of tax hikes and spending cuts, what the people want is not perfectly clear.Read more

INFLUENCE GAME: Tax them, not us, groups sayBy Charles Babington, Associated Press

Gaza's grim prophecyBy James Kitfield, National Journal
The Gaza crisis teeters between the momentum of violence and a cease-fire all sides desperately want but no one can easily stomach. Many lives tragically hang in that precarious balance, but the outcome does not. Israel enjoys such overwhelming military superiority over Hamas militants that a tactical victory has always been assured, as evidenced by the lopsided death toll to date of over 100 Palestinians killed to three Israelis. The only question from the outset of Israel's launching of "Operation Pillar of Defense" in response to escalating rocket attacks from Gaza, was at what cost?Read more

With the National Hockey League's trade deadline only hours away, early reports indicate Miikka Kiprusoff is not going to be moved by the Calgary Flames.

Kiprusoff, 36, has been the team's starter since November 2003 when he'd been acquired from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a 2005 second-round draft pick (which turned out to be Marc-Edouard Vlasic).

Insurance Agency Email Marketing And Multivariate Testing
Insurance agency email marketing can and should be one of the most powerful lead generation tools in an agency marketer's tool box. And when it comes to insurance agency email marketing, multivariate testing offers a highly advantageous methodology to improve results, providing greater insights into email campaign optimization and conversion efficiency. A/B split testing offers a simplistic way understand multivariate testing. Split testing is an empirical approach used to determine optimum conversion rates (click-through rates for example) for an insurance website, landing page, banner ad or email campaign. This article will focus on multivariate testing for email marketing campaigns.
Let's say that an insurance marketer creates two versions of an email campaign (we'll call them email version A and B). The agency marketer wants to determine which of these versions has the more effective subject line. The split test works best if the emails are identical except for one modification, which in this case is the subject line. Agency and broker email marketing campaign variations can be can be dramatic or subtle. Each subject line can be completely different, or a one word change can be measured. Agencies can then measure the campaign fundamentals, differentiating including open rate and click-through rate to determine which insurance agency email marketing campaign was more effective.
For example, if campaign A yielded an open rate of 20% with 10 clicks, and campaign B yielded an open rate of 25% with 14 clicks, then the balance of the emails should use campaign B. What balance you may ask? Multivariate testing can use a small portion of your email marketing contact list. If the agency marketer used 10% for the A/B test mentioned above, the balance, or in this case the remaining 90%, can then be used to send the superior email, email version B. Superior is often determined by click through rate, but can also include criteria such as webinar registrations, newsletter signups, website traffic generation, etc.

Insurance Agency Marketing – Continual Refinements and Pizza
After a long day at Universal Studios, we entered the security gate of our Marriott hotel. The gate required that we insert a key for entry. Below the key slot, was a simple reminder. Pizza Hut room delivery, dial extension 4141. What a ridiculous idea! Why would Marriott go to the trouble of placing a small 3″ by 5″ sign below the key insert on a security gate? After all, they are a major corporation and are more likely concerned with branding, occupancy rates, vacation club sales, airline promotions and other major marketing initiatives.
That night, we ordered two pizzas, 20 chicken wings, a large salad and a bottle of diet Pepsi from – Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut delivered promptly, within 20 minutes they were at our door. It was about $60, fast and convenient, and we thought the food was good.
When you think about this experience, it demonstrates how and why minor marketing refinements can have a big impact on any business. Here we see a giant corporation taking the time to add a tiny sign to a security gate, resulting in a new order. Insurance agency marketers should approach their efforts in a similar manner. Beyond the major initiatives, such as insurance agency websites, eMarketing, blogging, appointment setting, insurance search engine optimization and social media marketing, agencies should also consider:
Pros and Cons of In-Stream Video Advertising Solutions
Many people mistakenly think that in-stream advertising solutions solely consist of rolling ads that appear before a video starts or briefly interrupt a video mid-stream. Actually, all animated and interactive ads that play for 15 to 30 seconds inside the media player where the video also appears are considered in-stream ad types. The ads either appear in a linear or a non-linear direction within the player. Linear ads are inserted into the streaming video while non-linear ads are placed over or under the content.
Three Linear Ads in Video Content
Aside from image or text displays that suddenly appear and disappear while watching videos online, you may have also encountered a television commercial playing before a video starts rolling. Sometimes, this pre-roll ad shows a movie trailer or a public service announcement. Meanwhile, the mid-roll ad holds the show on pause while it plays and resumes streaming after it ends. Many videos display an ad or a menu with clickable options at the end to direct viewers to other video content or to the company's website.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - It's like throwing money out the window, only backward.
The brick a vandal tossed through a Pittsburgh printing shop's window Monday night fetched its new owner more than $1,000 in an impromptu auction Tuesday.
Business owner Dan Rugh says what was initially a frustrated joke turned into a big moneymaker, with people and businesses alike pitching in prizes. One woman offered tickets to a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game, a brewery offered a free tour, and restaurants donated gift certificates.
The final $1150 bid for the brick came in at 11:59 p.m. Donations totaled about $1000 more.
The window cost only $425 to fix so Rugh and his partner say they'll donate the rest to charity.

I'm back in the iTunes top ten today, woo! Thanks ARIAs :)
Best of Luck for the ARIAs, pop people!
Feeling all mixed up today about, well, stuff. Pop vs. Classical stuff.
Yesterday, I was at Sydney Children's Choir (SCC) Saturday School. It's a very busy day for kids at all levels of the SCC program, with regular choir rehearsals going solidly all day, plus classes in sightsinging and theory at various levels. Some of the older choristers come along regularly to help out their younger colleagues, joining in on rehearsals and classes. Such mentorship is a valuable experience for all concerned and the thought of it always makes me smile. Gosh, they are all such lovely (and clever) kids.
Anyway, one of these lovely, helpful older choristers came up to me after rehearsal and was all excited about the today's ARIA Awards ceremony. She was asking about the event, the television coverage, the red carpet, etc. etc. I felt kind of embarrassed to inform her that the winners of Best Classical, Jazz, World, Original Soundtrack, Original Show/Cast make no appearance at the awards, that we had our nominations and awards announced in a single breath, somewhat unceremoniously (does that make it an "unceremony"?) too early on a Wednesday morning in mid October. The young chorister's face was genuinely downcast after I revealed that news to her. I felt awkward.
If you're an Australian pop, rock, dance, indie, alternative, country blah blah blah artist, it's your night-of-nights tonight. I'm finding if difficult to resist the urge to compare myself to these people, so I'll stop trying to resist.
I went through six pretty tough years of music school, working hard to gain a solid theoretical knowledge of how music works, a detailed knowledge of the historical context of a vast range of repertoire/composers/styles, and a very broad appreciation of everything from the esoteric to the approachable. Sorry to utter a cliché, but it's a continuing journey and I am always learning more about music. This is what I love most about my work.
Unbelievably, it may still surprise some pop musicians to learn that classical musicians tend to be much more open-minded about the music they choose to listen to. I can only speak for myself, so I will say now that I am quite as happy to listen to Gotye, Radiohead, Nightwish and Florence and the Machine as I am to listen to Bach, Schubert and Nico Muhly. They are all wonderful creators of music in their very different ways. I really don't know very many pop musos who could say a similar thing about their listening habits (but if you're out there, please raise your hand!). Most pop musicians are snobs. There you go, I said it.
It's not that popular musos aren't wonderful, I just feel that they are somehow overvalued in comparison to classical musos. It's all about the musician's skill set and this is brought into relief when pop+classical are required to work together. Sometimes it's a joyous experience to work with non-classical musicians, for example, a current joint project between Sydney Children's Choir and the Latin American folk band Tigramuna. Slightly frustrating on occasion, but soooo worth the effort and I'm learning heaps!! Other 'collaborations' are simply annoying - a recent high profile event organiser sent through a vocal score for the SCC kids to learn and record. It had wrong notes, the tessitura was extremely uncomfortable for a pop song, there were fiddly vocal parts to learn, with bad voice-leading in the harmonisation. If it had been a harmony and counterpoint assignment from one of my university students, I would have failed them straight away, no question. It took us 45 mins of rehearsal to learn something that should really have only taken 10-15mins absolute maximum.
You haven't even heard the most hilarious part - they sent through a track "so we could hear what it sounds like" (as if we can't hear it off the page??) and the singer was auto-tuned. Auto-tuned!!!
And these are the people we revere as great musical artists??!!
Perhaps I should just stop with the comparisons, and live in a ghetto of educated musicians away from the snobbish pop people. But that would be dull! Classical musicians are doing their bit to reach out into other realms, but it would be nice if the pop world (i.e. the musicians and their machines) would reach back more often. Please, guys? Good luck to you all for tonight's ARIA Awards. Hopefully I'll see you around.
I am very excited to announce that my album Mad Rush - Solo Piano Music of Philip Glass just won an ARIA Award for Best Classical Album.
A number of people I would like to thank in writing.
Philip Glass, for creating such beautiful music for me to play.
Martin, Robert, Laura, Natalie and the team at ABC Classics/Universal for giving me the opportunity to share my little abstract minimalist offering with the world.
Wayne Stuart for being brilliant and inventing an incomparable and truly unique instrument upon which to play.
Virginia for working out where to put the microphones (A Stuart piano is really tricky to record!)
Vahe for looking after the instrument so lovingly.
My family, for always being supportive of me and this crazy classical music thing I chose to do with my life.
And last but definitely not least, my beautiful partner Glennda who is singularly the strongest and kindest person on this earth. I really don't know what I would do without you, my beautiful girl.

Granny Chic or Way Off Track?
Good Questions
Q: I am currently remodeling my kitchen and I am trying to choose an appropriate wallpaper. This wallpaper will go around the perimeter of the room above the extra tall white beadboard with plate rail. I am going for a charming and vintage feel as the home is 100 years old and the kitchen has many nooks, crannies and sweet details. I am wondering what your viewers think of this wallpaper (larger pic below) by Waverly. Is it granny chic and charming or am I way off track here?

Granny - Yes.
Chic - No.
You need something bolder, brighter and with a larger pattern.
I like it and think it's very cute, but it gives me more of a bedroom feel.
Sort of makes me think 1980's granny...
What are the dimensions of the stripes?
What about something more kitschy-cute, like similar colors with a tongue in cheek pattern like little animals or something?
I think you can do better. This isn't the look you're going for. I think when you see it, you won't have any doubts. Just the fact that you're asking here means you weren't in love with it. You'll know when you find the right pattern :)
Something by Cath Kidston might be cute if you want vintage charm:
The wallpaper looks dated, definitely not chic. The colors are dull and the print is timid. I would look at french country rather than granny chic. Or consider a toile or a gingham print. Hope that helps.
I really don't think you will like this in the end. It certainly reminds me of grandma's house, but not in a good way. Paint is a much easier and more classic way to go. Or maybe a more simple stripe....but I would choose paint over paper in this situation. I think that wallpaper is best used in a simple & modern space. The juxtoposition of pattern with clean lines works. If you put a patterned wallpaper in a room with lots of nooks & crannies, it will just be too much.
Skip the wallpaper. Down the road you may regret its appearance and style, and then regret it again when you have to take it down. Paint instead.
Sorry, but it makes me think of cutesy "country" decorating schemes involving painted duck figurines and heart-shaped wall decorations. Not the look you're going for, I'm sure.
I can see where you're going but I would try Laura Ashley wallpaper. Her prints are to die for and will probably be along the lines of the look your going for......I like your Waverly choice but I think it's missing something......check Laura Ashley you won't be disappointed!
Why ask others who aren't in the home with you? Do what you want, it's your place.
I usually go with the feeling of "This is it! This is what I need in my kitchen. It's perfect!"
If you had that you wouldn't be asking.
I say pass on the roses. Something else will come along and you will know it immediately.
I agree with all the commenters so far. I think the idea of granny chic is a good one, but this wallpaper misses the mark.
Stick with paint on your walls and play up the granny chic with displays of cake pedestals, milk glass, needlepoint or vintage kitchenware - nothing that requires the commitment of loads of wallpaper.
Hope this helps!
This reminds me of my mother's decorating style in the 90's, except it's white instead of forest green, so slightly more tasteful. I agree with the skip-the-wallpaper-go-with-paint suggestions.
this looks like the wallpaper you would choose to remove or replacie. definately not a fresher or cheery chic feel for a kitchen.the colors seem to be too faded or too neutral.
try choosing a pattern that has a larger scale and in a slightly bolder color. maybe a mondern flower print in a muted hue to give it a chic and modern yet vintage feel.
Have to agree it looks dated (although I will admit that after having to take down wallpaper in our house when we moved in, I will NEVER use wallpaper in a house I live in). I'm in a 1929 house with a pretty much original kitchen--when we upgraded, we went with paint and tried to use it to highlight the original details. For us it was a better way to go--easier to change, easier to update, and more classic looking.
As a granny chic lover myself, I must tell you that you are, indeed, off track here. It's all granny and no chic. Go with something bolder.
I'll jump on the bandwagon as well and say it probably won't be the best choice (although I do like it). I think amarie was right with wallpaper being more overwhelming with a bunch of nooks and crannies. With that said, I think this paper would look fantastic in a vintage kitchen - http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=HOME-WALLPAPER-MODERN&id=963091&catId=HOME-WALLPAPER&pushId=HOME-WALLPAPER&popId=HOME&sortProperties=&navCount=10&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=030&colorName=GREEN&isSubcategory=true&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=
For some reason I think the tiny pattern makes it look dated, more so than the color choice. I love Mary's ROMO example, I think a bigger pattern would feel more modern but still have a similar effect to what you're going for.
But I also don't have to live with it. Suffice to say I'm not anti-wallpaper in general but I did remove some very similar wallpaper to your example when I moved in to my current home.
I'm going with the rest of the group on this- very granny and not at all chic. If you are questioning this choice, its probably because you know its not the right fit. Keep looking!
I think I had a nearly identical wallpaper in the bathroom growing up in the 80's.
Maybe go for something with crisper colors (not all yellowed) and a less timid pattern.
If the kitchen truly has lots of nooks & crannies use a wallpaper with an all-over patterm (like a toile). A wallpaper with stripes would be difficult to install and not look good with a lot of corners (perhaps uneven?) and ins and out.
Sassyladie--that walpaper makes me wish I had a vintage kitchen to decorate!
Sassy, do what you want. Lately here on AT, if it ain't cutting edge, don't bother. I think the wallpaper is lovely and would go well with beadboard. Do not pay any attention to the nay-sayers --- we don't know what their homes look like, or if they still live at home with the parents who probably still decorate in a warm and inviting style.
Pull in your claws, KittyAtlanta! The comments have all been constructive and cordial...
I agree with others who say don't wallpaper. It is the worst worst thing to remove when you're sick of it. Maybe go with the fabric starched on the walls written up here a few days ago. Easy to remove and you can play with locations without having to commit. Or just paint the nooks and crannys a different color, something that fits the era you're looking for.
I must be the only one who likes this wallpaper. Depending on how she co-ordinates, she can make it work. I'm of the mind, if it was popular at one point, there was a reason why it was popular. The only question I have is how much distance is between the plate rail and ceiling? Check whether the vertical stripe will work with or against you on this. Otherwise, I do like the suggestion of papering the back wall of the cabinets.
What was that house call with the over-the-top green patterned wallpaper and decoration? Rather Golden Girls 80's (reminded me of Blanche's lanai), but they made it work. AT readers loved it, although I bet if someone had shown the papers individually they would have poo-poo'ed it. Take a look at that house call and see if it speaks to you or gives you ideas.
Good luck!
I think it will look cute above tall bead board and a plate rail. My only concern it that there is no white in the wallpaper - just cream stripes and cream in the flowers. Perhaps you can find something similar with white instead of cream.
A couple of things I haven't noticed anyone saying in my skimming of previous comments.
1. I wonder if the scale of the stripe is too close to the that of the bead board (I would think you would want to be either at LEAST double or MUCH smaller)
2. Blatant stripes can also be very unforgiving if your walls aren't plumb.
I am going to have to go against the grain though as to boldness if you are using the plate rail. Perhaps more color but I would want to make sure it is a good background for the plates rather than something that makes them disappear.
It reminds me of what you would see in those old school big wallpaper books catalogs at the hardwood store.
Go bold there is so much out there.
look at these they are amazing very 3-D..might be too bold but they are beauties-
I'm gonna echo what later said about the stripe in this wallpaper not working with beadboard. Go with a non-stripe pattern if your mind's set on wallpaper.
Without any context of the other finishes, no way to call it.
But disagree that stripes and beadboard won't work.
If you LOVE it, it's your kitchen -- go for it. You said you have "sweet details". I never use the word "sweet" regarding decor, so obviously my taste is nothing like yours, which doesn't matter since it's not my home.
If you don't love it, I'd wait until you find a pattern you do love. Then make sure the wall is properly prepped and the paper applied correctly, no shortcuts. That way, if your taste changes eventually, the paper can be changed without pain.
I don't like it, it reminds me of 80s/90s motifs. I think if you want retro you should go with something a bit bolder such as larger flowers. Or just paint for now and if you find a great wallpaper you can always go with it down the road.
Personally, I think the bead board and "sweet details" will actually be plenty of "vintage". Because don't forget, you'll have your dishes, towels, rugs, and other things, too.
You don't want your "vintage" to be the "this kitchen is exactly as it was thirty years ago" kind of "vintage".
Here is one of today's AT posts:
The first picture has white bead board and cream colored wall paper with a diamond pattern. It looks nice.
Krisi- I thought of this post when I was this picture today, a wallcovering in the same vain and I think it works here with the wainscotting and white painted trim
I've nothing against granny-chic, but this does nothing for me... I'd say keep looking.

Just because a man is blessed with a super long tongue like this guy it doesn't give him a license to lick pussy when a girl demands her ass licked instead. Corrinda with her super black bubble butt makes sure he knows what his tongue is really for!

Michael Fishbach, co-founder of The Great Whale Conservancy (GWC), narrates his encounter with a young humpback whale entangled in a fishing net. His group found the young whale entangled in a fishing net and while he and his friends were trying to free the whale, his wife was filming the whole event. Whales do know how to show appreciation by treating them with a magnificent spectacle after it was finally freed.

Coulee Region Humane Society to $9 for Nine Lives Cat Adoption Promotion
Coulee Region Humane Society (CRHS) is gearing up for its first $9 for Nine Lives cat adoption promotion on Tuesday, October 99th 2012. The promotion is an effort to raise awareness about the overwhelming number of animals, especially cats this time of year, who are in need of a new home through adoption. CRHS cares for approximately 3,500 domestic animals and assists 1,000 wild animals annually.
On Tuesday, October 99th, 2012 only, all cats, and a select few dogs, will have an adoption fee of $9.00. Visiting hours take place from 1pm-7pm on Tuesday. The goal is to adopt out nine cats the day of the promotion. According to Lanette Ehrhardt, Lead Cat Caregiver, "We see so many animals this time of year, especially cats. If we can save even "nine lives" through this promotion, we have made a difference." Adopters looking to add a pet to their life should come on down to CRHS to take advantage of the limited-time reduced adoption fees. All other regular adoption policies will remain in place.
Though adoption rates continue to increase each year, CRHS has not yet reached 100% placement of all adoptable pets and needs your help to do so. If you are not able to adopt an animal, for whatever the reason, you can still be a part of this goal by spaying and neutering your pet, encouraging others to spay or neuter their pets, or donating to the CRHS S.N.A.P. fund, to help decrease pet overpopulation.
Visit www.couleehumane.com or call 781-4014 for more information about the adoption promotion.

The Michael Ingbar Gallery presents a solo exhibition featuring some of the most recent
color landscape photography of award-winning artist Christopher Burkett.
Since 1980, Burkett has explored the United States through the lens of his large format camera. His exclusive use of
8"x10" film reveals our natural surroundings with an exceptional level of luminosity and vibrant color that is often absent
in today's digital images. His careful and impressive compositions simultaneously convey both the magnificent grandeur
and inviting intimacy of his natural subjects. The contemplative and patient photographic process inherent to largeformat-
photography leads Burkett to faithfully capture the diverse American landscape only in its purest and most
beautiful natural moments.
Burkett's individuality as a contemporary photographer continues into his printing studio, where he masterfully hand
prints every image himself. He transforms his 8x10" film into large scale photographs up to five feet wide while
maintaining remarkable clarity. Burkett's sophisticated and unique masking methods infuse his prints with depth and
ensure that the colors appear to his audience exactly as they appeared to the artist in real life. He is a recognized national
expert in printing Cibachrome (Ilfochrome).
Numerous museums and public and private collections worldwide are home to Burkett's work. His photographs are
featured in two self-published monographs and aptly accompany Seasons, a collection of Robert Frost's poetry dedicated
to nature. Burkett was the recipient of the 2004 Hasselblad Masters Award.

Miami Beach police close politically charged internal probe
By David Smiley
Miami Beach police closed a controversial and politically charged internal affairs probe Monday and ruled that a major tried to influence a drunk-driving case against an ex-wifes brother.
Prosecutors declined to charge Maj. Angel Vazquez criminally with witness-tampering, Deputy Chief Mark Overton told The Miami Herald. But the department has recommended that Vazquez receive a letter of reprimand after he admitted to approaching the officer who arrested his former brother-in-law before a hearing on the case.
Officer Steven Cosner told internal affairs that Vazquez found him at the Richard E. Gerstein Courthouse before an October 2010 hearing and wanted him to change his testimony to help quash a case against Jason McFarland, whom Cosner arrested for DUI in Miami Beach in March of that year.
The way it felt from, from where I was sitting was he, he was basically asking me to lie to the state attorney, Cosner said.
Vazquez told investigators he did approach Cosner before an October hearing on the McFarland case, but that he only wanted to ask Cosner not to milk the case to gain court overtime, a practice known as collars for dollars.
At no time did I tell him to drop it. At no time did I tell him to downplay it, reduce it, Vazquez said.
Overton said Vazquez, currently the major in charge of operations, was nevertheless found to have committed an inappropriate influence of his position.
As for McFarland, attorney Michael Mirer said in an email that McFarland never received any preferential treatment. In fact he was treated as any [first-time] offender would be and offered the Back on Track program, which allows offenders to downgrade a DUI charge to reckless driving and eventually have their record sealed.
The case became a public lightning rod Wednesday after a city commissioner alleged during a public and televised meeting that Police Chief Raymond Martinez was also implicated in the probe.
Commissioner Ed Tobin did not specifically say what Martinez, who took over the police force in March with the stated goal to reform the department and ensure greater accountability of our officers, had been accused of.
He said he either read the allegation on
an Internet forum for police officers, or someone said it to me.
Still, commissioners voted to request that the Miami-Dade Police Departments internal affairs unit conduct its own investigation.
We shouldnt have the police officers in our own police department investigating their supervisors, said Tobin, an outspoken critic of Martinez.
City Manager Jorge Gonzalez also revealed that, after prodding emails from Tobin, he had sent the internal affairs file to Miami-Dade ethics commission Executive Director Joseph Centorino for review and guidance.
Miami-Dade police declined the commissions request, saying Beach police already had an open investigation. Centorino accepted the file.
On Monday, Miami Beach police gave The Herald transcripts from Vazquez, Cosner and witness Officer Robert Silvagni. Police said they inadvertently gave an incomplete copy of Cosners transcript to a reporter, but a full copy would show that the officer did not make any allegations against the police chief.
Id just like to make it clear that there isnt an allegation against me, Martinez told commissioners Wednesday. This is a concern the commissioner raised after he read a
, Martinez said, emphasizing the last word.
Martinez was sworn in as top cop in March after several high-profile mishaps in the department, including a drunken officers July 3 ATV joyride with a bachelorette that ended in a crash that sent two beachgoers to the hospital in serious condition.
Both crash victims have sued the city, and Officer Derick Kuilan was fired and charged with driving under the influence and reckless driving with serious bodily injury
Martinez said he was taking over the department with reform in mind. And within 10 days of officially assuming control of the roughly 360-member department, Martinez drew the ire of the police union when he publicly announced that an officer caught speeding on the beach and another accused of drinking in his squad car had been relieved of duty.
Were it true, Tobins assertion that Martinez was implicated in the Vazquez probe would mean that the new chief was quietly under scrutiny even as city commissioners voted him in as a reforming police chief.
But Martinez said the public documents will show that Tobin is wrong.
The allegation doesnt implicate me, he said Monday night. Cosner doesnt make any comment against me.

Time with God - Dec. 16, 2009
Wednesday 16th December
Psalms 118:24This is the day which the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Focusing on God can help you wake `up'!
Psalm 118 is a 'Messianic Psalm' and this verse is talking about the day when Jesus came into our world. But still, isn't it true of every day we begin? Motivational speaker Jim Rohn points out that one of the reasons that many people are not doing well is that their outlook on life is wrong. They are simply trying to get through the day.
Instead we should be looking for what we can get out of the day! As you think about this day today, God wants you to recognize that it is His day. He has brought you into it; He has things in store for you today that will bless you and strengthen you. Rejoice in God's plan for your life today.
As you begin today with the anticipation of God's involvement with you throughout the day, it will change your whole perspective on life. Life becomes, not drudgery, but anticipation of God at work.
How would your day be different if you woke up thinking: "God made this day. How does He want to use it in my life? How does He want to use me in someone else's life? What is He going to bring to my mind for prayer about? What challenge will require His intervention? How will I see God at work today? Monday? Bring it on!"

Pinocchio Felted Wool Rug from Hay
If ever there was an apt use of the term "eye candy", this rug seems to qualify splendidly. The rugs, designed by Hay (a Danish company), are handcrafted in Nepal using felted, 100% pure new wool...
We first spotted these beauties on Kellits. The Hay Pinocchio rug, named after a Danish licorice, is available in three colorways: multicolored, aubergine, and purple. Of course these rugs aren't inexpensive, given the amount of work that goes into them. The 35 inch rug is $292 and the 55 inch rug is $715. It looks like you can order them from Moletamunro.

Very colorful, indeed. I saw exactly like this for a small jewelry-like box or for a small purse at a DC's Eastern Market, one of its flea markets. The creator of those items was originally from Tibet!
i have a purse like this! always gets the "aw cutes" when it goes out for the evening.
Cute rugs, but prices are in pounds sterling on the website.
gah, this would look perfect in the my kitchen!
damn my college student income.
I love this so much!
Wow! I love it! But it looks like a tripping hazard..
It looks so cozy! I'd love one in a child's room...
Marvelous project for a long, cold, obsessive compulsive winter. I think I just might tackle it.
I love those. I'll take any of them. But, isn't purple and aubergine the same?
£225.00 = $327.41, as the £ is at $1.46. Which is a lot for a bunch of pompoms stuck together.
looks cool, but I'm guessing it wouldn't hold up very well
Maybe it would be more fun to hang it on a wall.
awwwweeeeeesome. must have this. too bad it is way out of my price range. maybe i'll call the suze orman show and ask if I can afford it.
Cute - makes me want to roll on it!
Thought about making it myself, but am afraid that it would be less expensive to order it already made :(
The hay Pinocchio-carpet from Hay is just beautiful – a must for childrens.
It looks as though you could drop and it wont hurt....
very colourful & positive !
