Hints and tips to Improve Game Details for Your Football Manager Career
It's only days left before you can setup your first official Football Manager 2014 save. Many of you might wonder who to start out with, while some of you are already enjoying the beta. No matter your level of expertise in Football Manager 2014 and how you like to play it, you all will need to go through some steps before you can delve into your new FM14 career.
Starting a new Football Manager save doesn't really need a walkthrough as the steps are often very descriptive, but as the game often requires more and more from your Computer performance, we found it worthy to hand you this guide on setting up a new save. Here you will discover our tips and tricks, decisions, and customizing you will need to look into when setting up new Football Manager saves. Part 1 of this series talks about how you can customize and setup game details, both to run Football Manager faster, or to simply be able to customize the game to take full advantage of its features.
This ultimate walkthrough on setting up a new Football Manager save set attention to some of its hidden features, such as how to sort the German real name fix and replace the fake names of German players, to name an example. By publishing our Football Manager walkthrough we aims to reveal some of the under-the-hood assignements every manager have to deal with in order to increase game speed and assessments which will influence your game and managerial career. By improving the detail-level of Football Manager you can spot more players, find even more best FM 2014 staff and finally increase game experience.
This guide to setting up a new Football Manager save is written for the Football Manager 2014 Career Mode.
Creating Your Manager Profile
One of the first assignments you will need to attend to, is to customize your unique manager profile to your own preferences. This can either be done in Preferences or when starting a new save. Information such as your name, date of birth and favorite team are some of the more basics, which may not need any consideration at all, but may influence on your save throughout. Lets look at the decisions you should consider to take when creating your manager profile.
Selecting Nationality / Second Nationality
The first important decision to make is when selecting your nationality and/or second nationality (which can be blank). Whatever nationality you choose, it will influence on your new clubs scouting knowledge, so if you don't want to be true to your original birth nationality, it may be advantageous to pick a nation you want maximum knowledge of (100% knowledge), both in terms of regens coming through in the annual youth intake and for increasing the availability of some players and backroom staff with same nationality as yours. Perhaps you've found some excellent staff in our FM14 staff recommendation that you want eligible.
When setting up my nationality I normally pick a nation which has a good quality level of regen productions found in our guide to scouting regions and youth ratings, which is in the same region as my managing club. Perhaps there is a nationality you want full knowledge of, that your managing club has no prior knowledge of. If I also got preferences to become a national manager for one specific nation in the future, this will be selected as my main nationality, while my second nationality is added only to add little more depth to the scouting knowledge (50% knowledge).
Past Playing Experience
The past playing experience is of absolute importance to consider when starting a new save. Your settings of past playing experience will influence on your difficulty level so to speak. Each of the five different levels will determine your job suitability when starting unemployed, in additional to how well the footballing world (its players, fans, press and backroom staff) have knowledge of you and have heard of you before.
Automatic - default choice. Entering the managerial world with no prior experience. Your reputation will be assigned automatically to the lowest level of club reputation within your managing league. This means it can range from for example regional to national depending on the area of the world you're playing in.
Sunday League Professional - is the general choice when starting a lower league management career, or when starting unemployed. Reputation will be set to local.
Semi-Professional Footballer - will set reputation to regional.
Professional Footballer - will set reputation to national.
International Footballer - normally used when managing a top flight club (read Real Madrid, Barcelona or etc), clubs with either continental or worldwide reputation. Your reputation will be set to continental, which is on the same level as Jürgen Klopp and Marcello Lippi.
How Past Playing Experience will affect your manager character
Your starting experience should be consider according to type of career you're starting on. The "difficulty level" will influence on a wide sort of different areas throughout Football Manager.
A low reputation stature is mostly used for the lower leagues management. It will be less pressure and expectations from board, media, fans and players, for getting results right away, as they will have more patience with you. When starting unemployed it will be easier to get jobs as there are more options available.
As the reputation stature increases, so will the pressure and expectations on you. The boards patience will decrease demanding better results agreed in the job interview. By increasing your reputation you will have more players who wants to play under you. The job availability increases as more clubs wants your services because of your well-known name. Depending on the stature of your club, your boards personalities and your manager reputation, it will determine how much leeway you will get and the goals that will be expected by you.
A high reputation stature (read: Professional or International Footballer) might make you come under pressure quicklier. Keep providing good results will be of more importance. If the board expectations are not fulfilled within the first season, it may be harder to keep your job. This will of course be a general matter about the board confidence in you, and what has really happen in the course of the season (Several key injuries, departures of key players because of bad economic, and so on.)
Some of you might think that choosing a Professional Reputation or International reputation will be better no matter league chosen. But thats not quite true. Things may quickly backfire if chosen a higher reputation when managing in the lower leagues, as higher reputated clubs will more frequently want your services, and fans, media and board will have higher expectations from you. Choosing a Sunday League Footballer or Semi-Professional Footballer when managing in the top leagues is not quite correct either, as it will become harder to sign players and staff for your managing clubs. They won't have the interest to play under you. The fans, media and staff will look at you as to inexperience for the job and jugde your results by it, while the players might look at you as to inexperienced too, which may decrease their morale and happiness, making it even harder to get results, and take even more time before they listen to you in the pre-match / half-time team talk.
In general, you can say that the level of reputation will determine how the board, press, fans, players, backroom staff and AI managers interacts with you on a daily basis; through team talks, media handling, private talks and board promises/requests, making things easier or harder to address to.
Your age might be in the spotlight by the media and their description of you because of your past playing experience.
Favorite Formation
Your favorite formation should be set to your preferred formation. When going on job hunting, clubs will determine your suitability for the new manager job according to your records and achievements, but also your style of play and preferred formation. When starting unemployed your favorite formation and reputation is the only things clubs can judge you by. Clubs with similar football philosophy will be more likely to approach you.
We look at this new Football Manager 2014 feature as a way to set more expectations and limits in your Football Manager career.
Choose Playable Nations
Choosing the amount of playable nations will be the actual first step of any New Save customizing. This must be done every time you start a new save. In Football Manager 2014 you will have the option to choose from 51 nations from 5 different regions of the world. Your choice of playable nations will determine the detail-level in the new save database of available players and backroom staff. When a nation is selected, you will be able to see player records, tournaments and more players and staff within that nation. Adding more playable nations will increase the amount of players counted within the database, which lastly influence on your game performance and how quickly the game speed will be, in terms of loading and progressing from one day to another.
When selecting the amount of playable nations, I would recommend to choose nations of your preferences which will increase the amount of available transfer targets. I tend to select nations within the same regions and with similar reputations as my managing club. I aim for nations which has decent youth rating in additional to nations who has the potential to produce quality regens in the future.
For example when managing a club in England, I would select nations such as France, Denmark, Norway, Scotland, Holland, Belgium and Germany as the main playable nations. Of course I will add some more nations such as Brazil, Spain and Argeninta, but I try to pick nations where I can find bargains and affordable players who wants to join my club.
The amount of nations chosen will make you able to get higher detail level of these specific nations such as more players and staff from Under-18 and reserves clubs, in additional to the ability to enjoy stats and records from these specific leagues and tournaments as well.
Of course are you free to enjoy Football Manager 2014 with a lower detail-level, as you can increase your level of knowledge of non-playable nations by scouting. But the size of database loaded determines the level of realism and user experience for your new save game. Naturally, a larger database will include more players and teams from the football world, whereas a smaller one will include what are considered the core and most important items.

Choosing amount of Leagues [Advanced Options]
After you've selected the playable nations for your new career, you can customize your estimated game speed further and control which nations to play with. You will also be able to finetune each nations amount of leagues chosen. Some nations will only be one division, while others may have up to three and four tiers in the official database.
By selecting the lowest active league for the specific nations and change each nations from "Playable" to "View-Only" you will not only increase the game speed, but also decrease the detail-level of your new save.
NOTE! You will not be able to manage clubs within a View-Only nation.
Choosing Database Size [Advanced Setup]
To alter your estimated game speed and detail-level even further you have the option to select your preferred database size. While Small, Medium and Large only differs from a couple of thousand players, the advanced option will make you able to increase your database even further, adding tenths of thousands players and staff to your database!
Here you can add even further players and clubs from specific continents, regions, nations and divisions, which will be in additional to the playable nations selected in the first step.
Under all the different sub-categories you will have the option to add:
- Only international players will be loaded for the specific continent, region or nation. This will be a great choice if you're managing a national job and want higher competitiveness. This will load all international players when selected.
- Players based in nation will load all players playing in the specific nations of that continent, region or division, no matter of their nationality.
- Players of nationality will load all players of the specific nationality within the specific continent, region, nation or division, who are based anywhere in the world! This will be a great tool both for you and the AI manager when managing a national job, as you all will get access to more players.
- Players from top division clubs loads all players from the top division within a continent, region, nation or division. This means that you don't need to make a nation playable in order to get access to all players from top divisions.
- Players from top clubs will load all players from clubs with highest reputation for the specific continent, region or nation.
- Players with continental reputation will load all players with continental reputation for the specific continent, region or nation.
- Players with national reputation will load all players with national reputation for the specific continent, region or nation.
- Players from clubs in continental competitions will load all players from clubs who will participate in continental competitions from a specific continent, region, division or nation. Continental competitions can for example be UEFA Champions league in Europe, or other similar tournaments around the world.
As you will notice, the approximately players counted for my new save has now exceeded from 65000 to 82000.
Important notice to the database size:
Your preferred size of database size will not only influence on the processing speed, but if chosen a small database the competitive level among teams will increase as there will be fewer good players to pick from, raizing the difficulty level even higher!
Select Game Start Date
Selecting your game start date is one of the more important assignments to address to when starting a new save. You can select a game start date from the playable nations choosed before. The game start date will determine when your save will start.
If you have preferences of managing in Germany, it may be important to choose its start date (June) in order to experience a full pre-season. Some leagues, such as Norway and Brazil will have a totally different start date (Januar and December) than England (July). These two leagues will start off in the middle of the normal footballing season of the world (which normally lasts from July to May/June), so you will be able to choose between two different game start dates.
Brief Information about Advanced Options
In additional to this you can also select some of the advanced options, which will do some important changes to the database. The advanced options will sometimes improve the realism of your new save.
Use Fake Players will turn all players and backroom staff into generated personnel. Players like Lionel Messi, Andrea Pirlo and Maximilian Meyer will not be found. Football Manager will be totally obscure to you and you will need to operate in Football Manager by scouting and gaining knowledge as you play it.
The database will be loaded with fake players with unreal names. This option will make the database unrecognised, and forces you to do scouting in order to find the best players in different to a real database.
Do not use Real fixtures will generate a "fake" schedule. This means that there will be some changes to when matches are being played and who your opponent will be.
Do not add key staff will add key backroom staff such as coaches and scouts to teams which do not have all backroom staff roles assigned, when disabled. This is beneficial when managing in clubs either created in the editor or nations and leagues which lacks backroom staff, as the pool of backroom staff will increase with more generated staff from the first day off.
Add Players to Playable Teams will add generated players to specific clubs immediately when starting a new save. As most players in the top leagues has great squad depth, this option is often more relevant and beneficial when managing in areas of the world, or in lower leagues, which lacks sufficient amount of youth players and/or reserves.
Disable First Window Transfer Budget disallows you being handed a transfer budget to spend in the first transfer window. When this option is disabled Football Manager will use the real transfer budget of the clubs having available before the first pre-season. By ticking this option you will make your game even more realistic, as the clubs will not be allowed to spend money they never spend in real life.
Disable Player Attribute Masking will make some or even all attributes not visibile to the human manager. By ticking this option, Football Manager will assume that the human manager will not necessarily know everything about every players in the footballing world, and will add more obscurity to the playable database. Invisible attributes can only be revealed through scouting or interacting with the players; playing for the opposition team or playing in the same division which will make you know some about their information and attributes.
This option will be beneficial to tick if you like to discover Football Manager as how real managers does, and will certainly increase the difficulty level as you will need to trust your excellent Football Manager 2014 scouts and scouting network.
Prevent Teams which already have managers from being controlled will not make you able to take charge of a club who already has a manager on contract. You can only choose clubs with no manager at all, when adding a new human manager.
Adding Editor Data Files
Editor data files are either downloaded or created databases, competitions and/or real name fixes created in the Football Manager 2014 edtitor. Selecting which editor data files to use within your new save is selected under the sub-tab "Editor Data Files", when choosing playable nations.
Throughout the FM14 season, you will get access to many tranfer databases, competitions databases and player databases which you've perhaps downloaded. All the downloaded and created databases of yours will be placed here. Make sure to check which editor data files that will be loaded when starting a new save.
Extra Files - Preferences
There are several extra files loaded within every save you start. While some disable licencing, others will address certain changes happening in the footballing world such as the transfer embargo, Start in adminstration and Sugardaddy files.
FM14 German National Team Fix
One of these files is the well-known Fake.lnc file. The fake.lnc file is put into Football Manager 2014 due to Sports Interactive has not the allowed licencing for the German National team. In additional this file will disable player pics of Holland and France.
How you can solve this problem:
1) Deleting the fake.lnc file within the folder
- PC: Programfiles (x86) > Steam > Steamapps > common > Football Manager 2014 > data > db > 1400 > Inc > all
- MAC: [username] > library > Application support > Steam > steamapps > common > Football Manager 2014 > data > updates > update-14XX > db > 14XX > lnc > all
This file will need to be deleted whenever a new major patch has been updated f.ex 14.1, 14.2 or so on. A new save will need to be started in order to make the changes into effect.
Selecting Managing Team for your first Football Manager Career
We have now come to the end of our step by step guide of setting up a new career. I guess you might have an idea of which team to select for your first Football Manager career. If not, you can either start unemployed, let Football Manager pick a Team for you or check out the Team information available of the Team Overiew.
The playable nations and leagues will make you able to select a team from the different available divisions and/or the job as National Manager. Each team will be presented with an overview of their most important information and past history.
Information such as training/youth facility, finances and continental competition will be some of the most worthy information to check. Your clubs youth facility will be important for youth development and progression of youth talents in order to develop the best Football Manager 2014 wonderkids by yourself.
Good luck when picking a team to managing in Football Manager 2014. Enjoy your first Football Manager 2014 career!

A Modern Minimalist DIY Ride-On Toy
Made By Joel
There comes a time in toddlerhood where kids are too small for a tricycle or balance bike but are enamored with the idea of propelling themselves on something with wheels. The ride-on toy is the perfect fit for this stage of development. Here is a handsome one that you can build yourself and customize however you see fit.
This design at Made By Joel couldn't be simpler and it looks absolutely refreshing for that very fact. Made from basic materials available at any home center, it can be constructed in an afternoon. It is sturdy, low to the ground and small enough to tuck away in a corner when not in use. We especially like the red stripes and the super-thoughtful place for toy storage in the back.
In a world cluttered with overdone, commercially-linked toys, this one stands out for all of the right reasons.

So...what I need to do then is paint some racing stripes on my IKEA-table-on-wheels and embrace the nephews climbing on it & scooting around whenever they come over.
That's it! I'm doin' it. Thanks for the idea!
That thing looks like torture.
A spare kitchen cabinet would work too.
Actually looks like a good idea for painting low areas w/o sitting on the floor (as you get older, it gets more uncomfortable) I've been involved in a huge project that this would have been more ideal than scooching a folding chair now & then.
rmbnn, you're a genius.
I'm not a fan of plastic ride on toys, but I don't think I'd want that thing crashing into my walls and furniture, either.
rmbnn, think you win this round!
Yes, why not give a toddler something hard with corners to zoom around on. A dreadful case of form over function if you ask me.
Round those corners :) My 2 yr old boy would LOVE smashing into things (and people's legs), that's just what boys sometimes do. But this IS really cool, and with a couple of kid friendly tweaks, totally functional.

East Timor <<tee MAWR>> is a small country in Southeast Asia. It is sometimes called Timor-Leste. It makes up the eastern side of the island of Timor. This island lies in the Timor Sea, about 300 miles (480 kilometers) north of Australia. Dili is East Timor's capital and largest city. The country's official name is the Democratic Republic of East Timor.
Portugal began trading in East Timor during the 1500's and slowly took control of the region. After the Portuguese left in 1975, Indonesia took over East Timor. In 1999, the East Timorese voted for independence. That year, the United Nations (UN) began helping East Timor prepare for full independence. It became independent on May 20, 2002.
Although the East Timorese belong to a number of separate ethnic groups, most of the people are of Malay or Melanesian ancestry. Some are descendents of Portuguese settlers. Tetum and Portuguese are East Timor's two official languages, but more than a dozen local languages are spoken. Bahasa Indonesia and English are also spoken.
East Timor is a developing country. Agriculture is a leading economic activity. Coffee, corn, and rice are East Timor's leading crops. Oil and natural gas are also important to the country's economy.

MySQL EMEA Support Team gathering!
I'm back from the MySQL EMEA Support Team meeting.. and it was just fantastic!
Most know that MySQL is a virtual company and we don't see to much colleagues. Most goes via our internal IRC server, email and phone. However, we in Support for example, try to meet up each year. This year we did it a bit differently by actually gathering and actively doing support together (in Bielefeld, Germany). You know, like in a real office!
The cool thing about the EMEA Support Team, and I can safely say this for the global Support Team, is that we simple play along very well. Each of us comes with baggage of experience when joining MySQL. Most importantly, we think mostly alike. When we disagree we settle or make it better. For people only meeting up once a year or less it is just spectacular!
It's also lots of fun and drinking beers, socializing and sleeping together.. I mean sharing rooms! Fact that I had my birthday (turned 30) didn't make it easy for me (always a bit down then..) but my colleagues got me in the hotel alright.
Anyway, we're looking for more Support Engineers all over the world! It's not an easy job, it's challenging and you got work from home (not as easy/good as it sounds, btw). But damn, it's the BEST job in the universe!

UNREAL CITY is a multi-media collaborative installation from Generic Greeting Collective members, taking place in Blankspace, Manchester from the 2nd - 8th May. This installation is spread across five rooms and seeks to create an immersive, multi-sensory environment, one that will act as a physical extension of the music. This album consists of the music made solely for the installation; each track accompanying a different room within the exhibition.
"My work is informed by techno-capitalist iconography and signifiers present in the architecture of cities, in art and in popular culture," says Florence, "I am interested in electronic music and the constantly evolving digital climate in which it is produced and distributed, and the social and political analysis of popular culture, architecture and urbanism."
A launch night will take place on Thursday 2nd May from 6-10pm at the gallery, featuring DJ sets from Generic Greeting's FREnchfire and Big War, both contributing music for the installation. There will also be a bar, and space in the downstairs gallery displaying work from other members of the collective.

What's Hot – iPhone 4S Reviews
Everyone knows that the iPhone 4S was announced at last week's Apple Event with much anticipation. I've admittedly never owned a smartphone and even I was selfishly disappointed. Who am I to be disappointed when I've owned a 2 1/2 year old slider Sony phone waiting for "just the right time to buy an iPhone", right? Huffington Post posted an article about why the iPhone 4S was disappointing and thenWebProNews reports that the iPhone 4S sold "like hotcakes" and sold more 1 million iPhone 4S preorders in one day. According to BusinessWeek, sales are expected to top 4 million by this weekend. Think about that…4 freaking million!
As you may or may not know, the iPhone 4S officially becomes available on Friday, October 14. Here are the latest reviews of the iPhone 4S:
- [TechRadar] - Hands on: iPhone 4S Review
- [SlashGear] – iPhone 4S Review [Updated]
- [The Loop] – Review: iPhone 4S
- and just a fun one for good measure [Reuters] – Apple's iPhone 4S goes on sale, fans say tribute to Steve Jobs
- another fun one [CNN] – Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple) is first in line for iPhone
As more people/blogs get their hands on the new iPhone 4S, we will include these reviews in a follow up post. I ordered one through AT&T and boy am I happy just to get a smartphone and toss my slider phone in the recycle bin. If you write a review on the iPhone 4S, submit your post.

Found February 02, 2013 on Pro Football Zone:
PLAYERS: Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Walter Payton
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers
After claiming that he's the greatest wide receiver in NFL history earlier in the week, the media asked Randy Moss who are the top five players at any position. Moss left out quarterbacks since he believes they deserve their own category. "Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders," Moss replied, per NFL.com. And then, a pause. "Ummmmm … you gotta put Terrell Owens in there." I'm sorry, but there's no way Owens is one of the five best players (excluding QB's) of all time. He was dominant at times, but dropped too many passes.

America's Star Libraries, 2013: Top-Rated Libraries →
The constellation of Star Libraries changes dramatically from year to year. As it does every year, the 2013 Star Libraries illustrates that each annual round introduces a substantial set of new Star Libraries, sees the fortunes of continuing Star Libraries change—as libraries change peer groups and gain and lose stars—and, indeed, sees many of the previous year's honorees lose their Star Library status altogether. The explanations for these changes are varied and complex. Whether a public library gains or loses Star Library status or sees that status change more subtly is determined as much by the fortunes of other libraries in a library's spending peer group as by the per capita service output of its own institution.

Man don't encourage these people - it's like a mash up of the post-Scary Movie sequence and Cannonball Run.
I am not into gross our of juvinile humor but this trailer really, really made me laugh.
And the cast is incredible.
There is nudity and bad language, YOU ARE WARNED!!!!!
Seriously, if you are easily offended don't watch this.
Fine, I told you!
There is also a segment with Kristen Bell dressed as Supergirl going on a date with Justin Long dressed as Robin.
Man don't encourage these people - it's like a mash up of the post-Scary Movie sequence and Cannonball Run.
Friendship is being there when someone's feeling low and not being afraid to kick them.
Far funnier than I expected.
Using mainstream celebs to try and create a Kentucky Fried Movie for a new generation comes off as... a bit lame though.
In other words, the burden is pretty high to make this worthwhile. With that cast its got to be VERY funny to not come off as a waste of time/ego trip for a lot of these people.
I feel stupider for watching this trailer.
Real friends don't blow up your pony.
I know nothing about this film, but it certainly has an impressive cast. That's not necessarily a good thing.
The homeschooling sequence looks like a bit of fun and I am baffled at how Naomi Watts almost looks like a typical teen. Emma Stone could read the mail and I'd happily pay to watch. Everyone else looks like they're trying too hard (oh my, Stephen Merchant stuck with yet another one-note hack....he must be laughing all the way to the bank).
And godsdammit can Anna Farris 'happen' already and then go away. How many bites of the cherry has she had?
Yeah I have seen this. Not the redband but still. How the hell do you get most of those people. Mclovin Anna Faris and Sean William Scott are the only three who have any business being in this. And not another teen movie already did the defficating joke like ten years ago. If it was all about the basketbball team maybe I could understand and approve.
Hate me all you want, 95 % of the time I'm write.

Two Montgomery County board of election members are suing Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted for wrongful termination after they voted to allow early voting on weekends. Husted immediately suspended and then fired them for defying his state-wide directive restricting voting to weekdays only. Dennis Lieberman and Tom Ritchie, who have served on the board for a collective 28 years, filed the federal lawsuit Monday morning. Besides accusing Husted of wrongful termination, the two Democrats are asking for a temporary reinstatement as the Montgomery County elections board comes up against the September 11 deadline to hire new members in order to continue operations. Husted is currently grappling with multiple lawsuits against his office and is appealing a recent decision to restore early voting on the three-day period before Election Day.

Here's a quick list of some of the books I've read—the ones I highly recommend. Obviously it's not a list of every book I've ever read, but the ones that have somehow stuck in my memory. Most links are affiliate links so if you click through and buy the book, you'll not only be getting an awesome read, but you'll be supporting this website. Thank you!
The Twenty-One Balloons by William Pene du Bois
It's a children's book, hey, but it's a lovely little story. It's an inspiring short story about one man's desire to see the world and what he discovered along the way. With cameo appearances by the famous Krakatoa volcano explosion (the loudest sound ever heard in modern history) and fistfuls of diamonds. Check out my longer review with select quotations from the book. Buy it on Amazon
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chobsky
I read this book as a teenager and when I learned it was being made into a movie, I re-read it one winter night. Definitely held up to the test of time and has lots of pearls of wisdom in it—perfect for someone as lost in life as I sometimes feel. The story is essentially of a teenager's path to discovery, with a healthy dose of tragedy and insight into the lives of confused and complex teenagers. Buy it on Amazon
The Lonesome Traveler by Jack Kerouac
I'm a sucker for the beatniks, hey. I first read Kerouac as a young lad growing up in middle America. Pretty certain that On the Road was required reading in high school, or maybe I just had awesome English teachers. The Lonesome Traveler is a collection of Kerouac's stories from a his travels—on a barge, on a train, in Morocco, in Mexico…. I found his stories of working odd jobs in America most interesting. He'd show up looking for a job on a railway—get it, see if it worked out and then move on. He seems to have completely moved whatever way he felt—always thinking of himself, but still mindful of the world around him. It's a short and enjoyable read, though it doesn't quite make me want to leave everything behind and get a job on a barge. Suppose that's a good thing. Buy it on Amazon
Watermark by Joseph Brodsky
This Nobel Prize winner reads like pretty poetry but it's all prose. It's a collection of Brodsky's stories from all the times he visited Venice. As an exile from the Soviet Union, Brodsky lived in the U.S. but, like many travelers before him, fell in love with Venice. Reading this book, it's hard not to either. He goes on and on about singular moments in time: short chapters on everything from a chance meeting with a stranger to the city's brilliant architecture. In every chapter he seems to fall in love with the city yet again. It's hard not to get mesmerized by his love of the city—and I've never even been to Venice yet! Buy it on Amazon
Kiss the Sky by DC Gallin
This is the type of book you read when you're looking for some quick inspiration. Set in 1990s London, Kiss the Sky follows the story of free-spirited Claudia—a twenty-something living in a London squat trying to make a living as an artist and painter. She's living the dream so many people aspire toward, and though Claudia faces plenty of challenges, the story manages to remain uplifting. The author, DC Gallin, intertwines art & music—everything from inspirational street art to drum & base techno—throughout the story, keeping the pace pulsing and the reader hooked. You'll zip right through the book in matter of days, curious to see if Claudia is able to live out her (and your?) dreams. Buy it on Amazon
The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen
A quintessential travel book. It's the story of Matthiessen's journey to Nepal with his friend and biologist to study Himalayan blue sheep. Matthiessen hopes to spot a snow leopard—a notoriously discrete animal for the region. It's a personal reflection from Matthiessen about his journey and an introspective look into his mind. He worries about being away from his son and spends countless time reflecting on Buddhism and the meaning of life. A truly personal and inside look into the mind of a solitary soul. Buy it on Amazon
The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
Wow! I pretty much read through this book in a few hours—it was such an engrossing story. A fictional story about an Indian man and how he went from being a servant in northern India to becoming a wealthy businessman in Bangalore. It's written as a letter to the president of China. Nearly impossible to put the book down! Buy it on Amazon
Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts
I've already written a lengthy review of the book and it's portrayal of India, and while it's not my favorite book about or set in India, it's still a worthy read. There's no question that the author has a beautiful way with words. The story is engaging, light-hearted when it needs to be and heavy in all the right places. Shantaram (like India itself) made me think, and I definitely recognized India in the writing, in the descriptions, the histories, the people. I also enjoyed the book because it introduces stories and topics from all over the world—not just India. There are detailed and highly-researched stories from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the wars in Afghanistan, in Sri Lanka, and loads of others. All side stories to the central narrative and main theme, but it all adds up to make for a beautiful and highly interesting story. Buy it on Amazon
Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie
Really—this book is i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e. I bought an edition while on the beach in Goa. Rushdie's way with words are truly incredible. The story follows the life of one Saleem Sinai born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947—the very same moment of modern India's independence. Much like One Hundred Years of Solitude, the book follows the lives of all these intertwined characters—each born at the moment of India's birth. The "midnight's children" were each born with magical and special powers. The lives of the children, especially Sinai, are so intricately tied to the newborn India. It's an incredible idea and a beautiful story. Read this before, during or after your visit to India. Buy it on Amazon
A History of the Middle East by Peter Mansfield
An excellent non-fiction history book about the Middle East up until mid-2000s. It covers everything from Egypt's complicated history with the Soviets to the Israel-Palestinian conflict and Iran's revolution. There's a lot of information about the Middle East—from Kuwait to Turkey—and Mansfield does a nice job of summarizing a lot of complicated international affairs. A great introduction to one of my favorite regions of the world. Buy it on Amazon
First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers
You'll find this book all throughout Southeast Asia and it's one I highly recommend. It's the true, short and intense story from Loung Ung—a woman who was just a child when Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge army took over Phnom Penh. Buy it on Amazon
Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela's autobiography is one of the most impressive books I've read in a long time. It's the story of how an entire nation was formed—and a people's struggle for independence and freedom. The first-hand account is impressive because of the facts and the story, but also because Mandela's words make you feel comfortable and hopeful. Truly inspiring. Buy it on Amazon

I'm not too sure about this video though… it feels like someone was just playing around with random settings in iMovie. As for the song, was this a thinly-veiled attempt at getting on the soundtrack for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?

Kerry's Minimized & Mindful
Small Cool Contest
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Kerry
- Location:
- New York, NY
- Square Feet:
- 287
- Division:
- Teeny-Tiny
- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I love that this is the first apartment that I don't have to share and is truly my own. For that reason, I was thrilled to have a blank canvas and loved having the chance to make my studio a reflection of my style and personality for the first time. When I first moved in, I had to pare down my possessions to only the essentials since at 287 square feet, there just wasn't room for anything else. Every item in my apartment is something that I chose carefully or that has personal meaning. Downsizing to such a tiny space has taught me to minimize waste and forced me to be more mindful in general about all of my purchases. When decorating, I tried to incorporate accents and pieces that create a relaxing, cozy and curated space, without over-decorating or creating an overwhelming space. I love that when I come home at the end of the day, my apartment is a place where I can unwind, relax and be surrounded by things that make me happy.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space
- Hands down the biggest challenge of living in such a tiny space has been co-habitating with my cat, who is my best bud but tough to share a small space with. Not only does he become a ninja in the night (which can make sleeping a huge challenge), but I am vehemently opposed to letting my apartment become overtaken by "cat smells" and ugly cat accessories. I was forced to get creative about how to make it work with my cat in my studio, so I started by creating carved-out spaces for him to play, relax and sleep. I got a great little cat litter-house that hides the litter box in my bathroom, doubles as a storage shelf and does a great job of masking smells. I've also carved out time to play before bed every night, which has helped get us on the same sleeping schedule. Oh, and the five flights of stairs that lead up to my apartment are a challenge, to say the least. Once you go down, there's no coming back up for anything you forgot!
- If I am the Grand Prize winner of Small Cool, the item(s) or project(s) from my home design wishlist that I'd like to spend my winnings on are:
- I would love to splurge on a lofted bed so that I can maximize my tiny living space more effectively. Right now my full-size bed takes up about half of my overall living space, but by raising it, I could probably double my living area. I would also love to replace my old natural-wood colored IKEA dresser for a more grown-up dresser that goes better with my white furniture, like one of West Elm's awesome mid-century dressers. In addition, I'd probably want to feed my addiction to pretty pillows by purchasing some new pillow covers!

Five flights of stairs?! Wow. Not for the out of shape.
A platform bed (instead of a loft) is another way to increase storage space.
This looks great! Nice job!
You've done well - so glad that you kept the best friend (cat). He probably loves to have you so close.
Very cute! Love the clear nesting tables, and the chalk board in the kitchen! Is the mini Parsons desk PBteen? Ive been trying to find a less expensive one that size. Maybe until you get a new dresser you could paint the ikea one to match the rest of your furniture.
I DIG it!!!
Charming! I like the window over the kitchen sink, which is uncommon in NYC. And what a handsome orange stripey cat. I am curious to see the nifty litter box solution you described.
Really pretty. What is the shelf behind your couch? Or is that the radiator?
I would also like to know about the kitty litter box as I would like to have a cat in my little condo but without the smell.
I never comment but for this space I felt the need to set up an account so that I could comment. I love everything about what you did with this space! Where is the bedspread from? I need it!!
Fermi, the bedspread is from West Elm.
Super cute little space! I like the little plants on top of the kitchen cabinets. Your little kitty ninja is adorable too.
This is really lovely. It also seems like the layout of this apartment is smart, so the square footage is really maximized in a way that you don't see in every small apartment. No wasted space!
That is such a spacious kitchen for the size of your space. How lucky you are. I'm curious about the kitty litter set-up too. I don't have a cat, but have thought about it and the litter box has been what has kept me from getting one.
Please let us see the kitty litter set up. I am desperately seeking a way to hide my cat's litter box!
Very cute space, also!
I love that you care so much for your cat that your design and lifestyle changed.
thanks so much! my desk is the parsons mini desk from west elm, I believe they still carry it!
Hi everyone...thanks so much for your nice comments!
In answer to your questions, my mirror is leaning on a radiator behind my couch, and though don't have a pic of my cat's litter box, but this is it: http://www.amazon.com/Merry-Washroom-Night-Stand-House/dp/B000JZOQO2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368721648&sr=8-1&keywords=cat+litter+house (totally worth the money!)
Very nice, gets my vote :)
Why is your shower curtain tucked in? Is it a liner? Looks like a curtain that wants to be outside the tub, with a liner inside. It's super cute, though!
Love the kitchen space/.
What a charming place!
That's the litterbox/side table I've been looking at! Glad to know it works well.
You get my vote because you appear to really love your cat and that makes me happy.
So much to love here!!!
i like how the bed is prominent. these stressful, hectic days, nothing is more important than rest.
lots of things that were on trend in the last couple of years, like a highlight of design blogs from the last few years.
Your place is such a standout, that I had to come back for a second look. Where did you get your sofa?
I like the drawing in the white frame on top of the white table. Where did you get it
Hi there - thanks so much! My loveseat is a sleeper sofa from Jennifer Convertibles from years ago although I'm fairly certain they still sell a similar version. It's great for having guests stay over!
@Emal - thanks! It's a Bon Iver concert poster by Methane Studios from a few years back (http://postercabaret.com/bon-iver-concert-poster-by-methane-studios-sold-out.html). Unfortunately it looks like it's sold out right now :(
Thank you
Definitely have my vote! Amazing space. Where did you get the "Hello?" Pillow from?

An hour later, crews responded to a house fire just a few blocks away in the 16-hundred block of Gay street. That home was also vacant.
Fire marshals say both fires are suspicious and anyone with information on the fires should call their local police department.
