Amanda 's "Vintage Blue" Room
Vintage Blue
Location:Corpus Christi, Texas
Colors Used
Where do I begin...blue/gray, yellow, turquoise, orange, navy, green, little pops of red...I really do not discriminate when it comes to color; although I have never really come to embrace pink or purple. Point being, I love color! Orange is a neutral in my home and I have always been a sicker for anything turquoise or teal.
Color Inspiration
I tend to gravitate to very bright colors, especially with accessories. Show me a turquoise vase or an orange picture frame I will have a hard time turning it down. Since I already had so many brightly colored accent pieces in the form of my plate collection, I went with a very soft soothing blue/grey wall color. The color is called pelican which is mildly amusing since I have never seen a blue grey/grey pelican; in my experience they are either white or brown. I was looking for a wall color that accentuated my colorful accessories not competed with them and I think I achieved that.
Color Tips
Using color is a give and take. If you have strong color in your furniture and accessories you may have to edit yourself on the walls and floors, but on the other hand if your furniture and accessories are neutral go crazy with the wall color or rug. There was a time when I went full on color with everything in a room and the overall effect looked like I had put Muppets in a blender. So my advice would be edit yourself…at least a little bit.
Comments (16)
I love the yellow table. My mom has one like that and I want it but she is sooooo not ready to give it up yet.
Love the plate collage. I have been collecting for my own and your design is an inspiration. Now will just have to paint the wall I want to put them on a different color, so they "pop" more.
Lovely, and good plan re avoiding color overkill with a calmer, more neutral wall color. I have that table, or one very like it, in light grey, with four grey vinyl and chrome chairs--adore it.
I love the color and the feeling you've created! Vintage plates are fun and easy to find when poking around tag sales and 'junk shops' cheap!..
I love this room too. It's bright and whimsical, but without color overkill, as bellsonhopi noted. You've kept it simple and uncluttered, which allows the charm of your plates, chairs, and table to shine through.
Love the plates!! It's somehow manages to look so bright and airy!! Like they're being blown by the wind. Good eye and impressive execution.

San Antonio Judge Not a Fan of Air Conditioning, Loves Footnotes
If you read one opinion today, we nominate this one, issued last Friday by Fred Biery, the chief federal judge for the Western District of Texas.
The case involves an effort to block construction of a new highway interchange in Texas, which is designed to ease traffic congestion and pollution.
Biery, an SMU Law grad who lists gardening and basketball as hobbies, denied the effort to block construction and strenuously criticizes environmental degradation in an opinion that almost conjures David Foster Wallace with its bizarre assortment of footnotes referencing Ogden Nash, Barbra Streisand, the Lone Ranger, Stephen Sondheim, and much more.
(Here's an article from the San Antonio Express-News about the ruling and here's a blog post from Texas Lawyer.)
The ruling begins with an abridged Texas history lesson, including the supposed glory days between 1950 to 1970 when "air conditioning was virtually nonexistent;" "human obesity largely occurred in small numbers;" and "coaches had authority to apply wooden paddles the gluteus maximus of misbehaving boys."
Flash forward to the present, which has brought air conditioning for the masses in Texas, Biery opines, swelling the state's population and leading to "avaricious, rapacious, and sometimes mendacious development and its ubiquitous impervious cover of asphalt, roofs, concrete, shopping and eating venues."
Later, after talking about the "cancerous death" of droughts in the state, Biery writes: "The forty days and nights of Noah are looking better."
And, in one final flourish, he concludes his opinion: "Signed on Earth Day, April 22, 2011."
This is not Biery's first brush with fame in the blogosphere. Above the Law once named Biery its judge of the day in this post about an opinion in which the Clinton appointee cites the Brothers Grimm and Disney movies in denying a religious school's right to join an extracurricular organization.

HOW THE GARMENT FITS and hangs from the body, the materials used and how the armor is placed are key when designing protective gear for larger riders.
Thinner, lighter textiles may allow for more comfort and range of motion. For leather garments, it may be handy to have a tailor available to ensure customized fit. (However, keep in mind that additional tailoring may affect the piece's technical attributes.)
Standard sizing charts may not apply, so trying on the garments is critical. Stock one larger size in a variety of jackets — a 3XL in one style, a 4XL in another, etc. — so the customer can test different sizes. Usually, the top apparel brands can provide expedited shipping for custom orders.
Train your staff. They should be aware that larger sizes exist, the brands that carry them and in which models. They also should know how to adjust side panels, zippers, etc. to ensure proper, comfortable fit.
Be aware that larger items may be priced higher due to the increased amount of fabric or leather involved.
Visit a local "big and tall" store or department store for compelling, respectful merchandising and marketing tips.
It's a little unorthodox, but some powersports-related e-commerce sites allow you to filter results by sizing — this may be a good way to educate yourself on the brands and size ranges available.
Work with your vendors. Motonation, for example, may be able to outfit one of your "big or tall" customers at cost, and then "let word-of-mouth work its magic," says Bill Berroth.

Mill Center's fiscal plan must be clear
Published: Monday, September 19, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 19, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: At the Mill Center meeting there were presentations on the need for the center in downtown Hendersonville. In the question and answer discussion, the audience's focus became fiscal planning.
The $22 million cost is to be provided by private funds. But the city has promised one city block, exterior maintenance and an operating subsidy. Traffic and sidewalks would be the city/county's responsibility. Some streets might have to be rebuilt.
Sufficient city and privately owned parking has been identified. The surrounding area should be redeveloped by the city/county and taxed, as was Main Street. A portion of the hotel tax could go to the project.
There are many questions to be answered in the planning and execution of a project of this magnitude, beside architectural design.
Prudent project proposals include a study of all such concerns to develop a comprehensive overall unbiased perspective of the project's planning, execution and operation so that the impacts and costs are clearly identified and evaluated.
Who will do this and report to the taxpayers before commitments are made?

DHHS cuts investigators' daycare workload by over half
State also adds advisory panel to deal with future issuesUPDATED 5:59 PM EDT May 14, 2014
The Department of Health and Human Services is adding 16 people to children's licensing and investigation unit, decreasing an investigator's individual workload from 180 cases to 80. WMTW News 8's Aly Myles reports.Video Transcript
THE MAINE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES IS ADDING 16 PEOPLE TO THEIR CHILDREN'S LICENSING AND INVESTIGATION UNIT. IT'S A MOVE TO ENSURE THE STATE'S LICENSED CHILD CARE PROVIDERS ARE ABIDING BY STATE REGULATIONS AND TO MAKE SURE THEIR INVESTIGATORS CASELOADS MATCH UP WITH NATIONAL STANDARDS. WMTW NEWS 8'S ALY MYLES EXPLAINS WHAT THAT MEANS. Aly Myles/News 8- 20:40 This is about 80 Aly Myles/News 8- 20:40 This is about 80 pieces of pasta. Now lets say each one stands for one daycare that investigators look into. The national standard is 80 cases per investigator. But here in Maine, investigators work with 180. Officials say that's just too much. REBECCA PALMER HAS BEEN RUNNING THE "LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE" DAYCARE FOR 15 YEARS. SHE HAS ALWAYS PASSED HER INSPECTIONS WITH EASE-AND WAS ECSTATIC TO HEAR- MORE INVESTIGATORS COULD BE POPPING IN UNEXPECTEDLY. Rebecca Palmer/Little Red School House Owner "6:31 you have to be spot on with your regulations, following all the rules all the time and that's what it should be about. Your number one concern is the safety of the children!" BUT SHE SAYS-MANY OTHER DAYCARES IN THE STATE-NEED TO IMPROVE. Rebecca Palmer/Little Red School House Owner "7:08 there are a lot of places that unfortunately get by without the regulations being enforced." THE NEW HIRES WILL INCREASE THE UNIT FROM 12 INVESTIGATORS TO 25. IT WILL ALSO FILL THREE OTHER VACANT POSITIONS. THE DIVISION OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY SERVICES SPENT TWO YEARS LOOKING INTO THEIR OWN PROCEDURES AND POLICIES, LOOKING FOR PLACES WHERE THEY COULD IMPROVE. WE ASKED THE DIVISION'S DIRECTOR KENNETH ALBERT IF THESE NEW HIRES HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE JANUARY INVESTIGATION INTO SUNSHINE CHILD CARE- A FACILITY THAT WAS ACCUSED OF MISTREATING THAT WAS ACCUSED OF MISTREATING CHILDREN. ALBERT SAID THE CASE DIDN'T FACTOR INTO THE DECISION- BUT SAID THAT CASE DID CAUSE THEM TO DO A "DEEPER DIVE" INTO THEIR INTERNAL PROCESS. ALBERT SAYS IN THE FUTURE, IT WILL NO LONGER BE UP TO ONE PERSON TO DECIDE IF A CHILD CARE CENTER SHOULD LOSE THEIR LICENSE. HE SAID IN A STATEMENT, "there is a distinct value for parents to select a licensed child care provider and the way that value is maintained and strengthened is through effective oversight and sharing of information." Aly Myles/News 822:30 Albert says theyre going to take their existing staff and the new staff and spend two weeks with programming training and two weeks of field training and that will all begin next week.

Danny Sigman publishes Nature review article on the role of the Southern Ocean in driving glacial/interglacial changes in atmospheric CO2 concentratio
The oscillations during the past 2.5 million years between ice ages and interglacials were probably triggered by orbital changes, but the observed amplitude and timing of these climate cycles still awaits a full explanation. One notable correlation links lower partial pressure (or concentration) of CO2 with ice ages: changes in CO2 concentration may cause some of the ice-age cooling, but what causes the loss of CO2 is unknown.

Displays of items will have one price posted, but check out & you're charged FULL price. When calling their hand on it, "We're sorry, bring your receipt back in & we'll refund the price difference". YET, they keep doing it.
April 16, 2013, example: Malt-O-Meal Bag Cereal posted @ $1.88 per bag. Rung out @ register at $2.69 for 1 flavor & $2.93 each for 2 others. Checked register tape when got home to discover the over-charges. Called them, response as stated --- & I'll get manager to pull it up on computer. VERY UNCONCERNED -- they KNEW! April 17, 2013, returned to store for refund & informed them we would NEVER shop there again!!!
Another Example of Over-charging customers: On more than 1 occasion have found box trays of meat packages being sold for $19.99. When adding up the existing meat pkg prices, they were LESS than the $19.99 if pkgs had been purchased separately. Un-suspecting customers being ripped off by *assuming* they could trust the packages to at least equal the $19.99.
When called to manager's attention, he will grab pkgs & run to back of store with them saying, "it's a mistake & will be corrected". Yeah, right. Yet, they continue this practice & react in this manner when caught doing it.
If you shop at either of these stores, CHECK your register receipts & make SURE you are not being over-charged & pay more of your hard-earned money than you should rightfully be paying them for the foods you purchase there. NOTE -- they WILL over-charge you & KNOW they are doing it until you call their hand on it & DEMAND a refund of your money they STOLE from you.
Best Bet -- do NOT patronize or shop @ either of these stores. There ARE other places to buy the same food items at who will not over-charge you for them. My family will NEVER buy another penny's worth of anything from these RIPP-OFFS~!!!

Tit Bits
Just wrap a tape measure around your middle. That's one quick way to gauge whether you're dangerously overweight.
Researchers have found a waist measurement of 35 inches or more for women and 41 inches or more for men indicates serious risk of weight-related health problems. Height didn't change that risk assessment.
Eat Less, Live Longer
You may be able to live longer by eating less, according to research done by an Institute on Aging. Experiments conducted since the 1930s show that cutting calories by one third practically transforms short-lived insects and rodents into modern day Methuselahs of the bug world. Studies with humans would take almost 100 years to complete.
Easy Go, Easy Come
Nearly 200 dieters following one commercial weight-loss programme diet of formula and prepacked foods lost an average of 48 pounds. But three years later only 12 percent of those dieters had kept off at least 75 percent of the lost weight. And 40 percent gained back more than they had lost. Regular exercise was the strongest predictor of maintaining weight loss. The best predictor of weight regain: frequent television viewing.
If You Love Loud Music, Listen to This
Loud music, whether it comes from radios, headphones or at the disco, could severely impair one's hearing. A study done in a general hospital has warned that prolonged exposure to loud music could damage the eardrums. When exposed for several hours to 120db- A (the intensity of sound measured at a disco), permanent hearing loss might result.
In a earlier UP-PGH study on noise-included hearing damage, a team of
doctors had themselves exposed to the music at a disco. Prior to the exposure, their hearing was tested and recorded as normal. After one hour at the disco where the sound intensity was measured at 120db A, they were again tested and "temporary shift in the hearing impairement for a day or two. After a couple of days, their hearing was back to normal.
For those who seem to be permanently attached to their headphones, the research cautioned to keep the volume down. "When the volume is constantly set at full blast for long durations, and directed right it can do damage inside the ears- the listener may permanently lose his hearing.

QUETTA: An official says the death toll from the earthquake in southwestern Pakistan has risen to 135.
A mayor in the area, Dilawar Kakar, says 135 deaths have been confirmed and that the figure will likely rise as rescuers reach remote villages.
QUETTA: An official says the death toll from the earthquake in southwestern Pakistan has risen to 135.
A mayor in the area, Dilawar Kakar, says 135 deaths have been confirmed and that the figure will likely rise as rescuers reach remote villages.
Kakar said hundreds more have been injured and some 15,000 people left homeless and appealed for help.
The strong earthquake also destroyed hundreds of mud houses on Wednesday, officials said.
The death toll was expected to rise as reports arrived from remote areas of the affected province of Baluchistan, an impoverished area bordering Afghanistan.
``It will be much more,'' Sohail ur Rahman, a top civilian official in one of Baluchistan's districts, told Dawn News TV station.
The worst-hit area appeared to be Ziarat, where hundreds of mostly mud and timber houses had been destroyed in five villages, Mayor Dilawar Kakar said. Some houses had been buried in a landslide triggered by the quake, he said.
A reporter for AP Television News saw dozens of bodies and injured in a hospital in Kawas in Ziarat district. A doctor there, Mohammed Irfan, said the hospital was unable to cope with the injured it was receiving.
Zamaruk Khan, the minister for revenue and rehabilitation, told The Associated Press ``more than 100'' people had been killed. Kakar said about 120 people had been injured.
``Rescue work is being carried out by the villagers themselves, but a larger operation is needed here,'' Kakar said.
The army said it was rushing medical teams on helicopters to villages in the quake zone.
The quake struck two hours before dawn and had a preliminary magnitude of 6.4, the US Geological Survey reported. It was a shallow 10 miles (15 kilometers) below the surface.
It was centered about 400 miles (640 kilometers) southwest of the capital, Islamabad.
Pakistan is prone to violent seismic upheavals. Wednesday's quake was the deadliest since a magnitude-7.6 quake devastated Kashmir and northern Pakistan in October 2005, killing about 80,000 people and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless.
Baluchistan is home to a long-running separatist movement, but is not considered a major battleground in the fight against Taliban insurgents that plague other border regions.

Maybe, just maybe, discounts being offered by destination resorts might pull in enough visitors this winter to keep the ski industry vibrant.
That cautiously optimistic perspective comes from the Denver-based Mountain Travel Research Program, which collects data from 216 property-management companies at 15 mountain destination communities in Utah, Colorado, California and British Columbia.
While September's data showed the recession continues to reduce advance lodging reservations, report author Ralf Garrison found some "heartening" evidence.
Reservations made in September for trips next January and February -- the heart of the season -- are up 17 percent and 7 percent, respectively, over those same two months in 2009.
To Garrison, one explanation for the increases is evident -- nightly lodging rates are down 15 percent in January, 18 percent in February.
"This pattern of increased reservations and decreased rates is consistent across a majority of destinations," he said, adding that the data is preliminary "so it is premature to read too much into these results." October's booking data will be a more reliable indicator of what to expect.
Nevertheless, he said several economic measuring sticks important to the ski industry improved during September.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose for the fourth straight month. Travel costs were down eight percent from a year ago. Retail sales held up despite higher unemployment and a 2.4 percent dip in the Consumer Confidence Index.
"Although consumers continue to show price sensitivity, several indicators are more favorable this year, including stable travel costs and a more favorable U.S. exchange rate, where the lower dollar drives inbound international travel," Garrison said.
The monthly report's findings buttressed the optimistic comments coming from Ski Utah, marketing arm for the state's 13 active resorts.
"Utah's resorts are much better prepared to face the coming 2009-10 winter season than they were for 2008-09," said Ski Utah spokeswoman Jessica Kunzer, citing the potential draw of a cooperative advertising campaign by the state's industry.
Unlike earlier campaigns, this one features a "white sale" that gives the resorts more flexibility to alter deals throughout the season. But true to successful promotions of the past, she added, ads will emphasize that "Utah's unparalleled access as a ski destination should also serve as an attractive quality for skiers and snowboarders taking shorter vacations, but [who are] looking to get the most time on the slopes."
September itself was another weak month at destination resorts. Occupancy was down 14 percent from a year ago. A 6 percent drop in nightly fees compounded the impact.
He said overall rates for the next six months are down 14 percent from the same period in 2008-09, with discounts deepest after the holidays.
"Market demand can't be taken for granted," Garrison added. "Mountain destinations will have to either deliver more value or less cost."
And, of course, the season's success depends heavily on one factor the resorts cannot control -- the snow.
"The snow dance routine begins soon," he said. "Snowfall is the wild card that will be more important than ever in this uncertain market."
