A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
One of the main dangers trees crashing down from a combination of
strong winds and saturated ground.
A downed tree is
a common sight Tuesday because of strong winds that blew in this morning and
stayed around much of the afternoon.
Strong wind caused several trees to fall over roads and block
traffic. For trees fell this morning on Highway 118 in Smithville.
About 20 minutes down the road in Terrell County, it was more of
the same.
"The phones started ringing and the power went out trees
started falling. So for the last three hours, that's all we been doing is
cleaning roads," said Sheriff John Bowens.
Sheriff Bowens says things started happening so fast, he had to
call in more help.
"I had to call every available deputy that was off that I
had. The trees were falling so fast and the road was being blocked," said
Sheriff Bowens.
Workers were on the scene working to clear this road of debris
after a tree came tumbling down.
The Department of Transportation says this tree blocked traffic
for 2 hours along Highway 45 in Terrell County.
No one was hurt by any of the fallen trees.
Georgia Power crews were also out working to restore power in Lee
and Terrell counties.
"We saw some pretty strong winds that came through. We had
some issues with trees and limbs that have gotten on the lines and several broke
poles around the area," said Jay Smith.
This afternoon, several customers in Bronwood and Arlington were
without power. Power should be back on for those customers by 9 p.m.

Judge Rules Iran Connected To 9/11?!?!?!?!
- Kanaeta
- uploaded: Dec 16, 2011
- Hits: 212
The Psyops Reach New Levels Of Ridiculousness
Original Title
Judge Rules Iran Connected To 9/11
911 Happens, it's the brown people in Iraq get'em! No wait, it's the brown people in Afghanistan get'em! No wait, now they're in Libya, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia get'em! No wait the real brown Muslims who did 911 are in Iran get'em! This is so fucking stupid it would be almost comical if it weren't so serious. So many innocent people have been murdered by the United States response to the 911 attacks that it makes me physically ill and to be quite frank if you buy into this B-Movie plot then you've got shit for brains.
The United States' pretense(s) for waging war on the world actually manages to entail every single logical fallacy in the book. You can watch for yourself video evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that building #7 was brought down via controlled demolition. You can learn for yourself that NORAD was ordered to stand down so that fighter pilots could not intercept the planes.
The real reason that the international bankers and globalists want to wage war on Muslims is because of their banking laws. Islamic Shariah law strictly forbids "Riba" which is interest. This means that people in Iran enjoy interest free banking. The money changers cannot rape these countries financially because of these strict banking laws that forbid interest. Therefore, they would like to export democracy so that they can enslave the Iranian people with the same type of technocratic usury that has been implemented by the private Federal Reserve bank that has enslaved the American people to its agenda of world domination.

Unfuckingbelievable. It is such a piss take. They must be thinking "it's so blatant that the people will think it must be true, because the people would think we surely wouldn't have the gall to be so fucking obvious". Oh shit, forgot, the people are stupid.

Genre: Historical Romance
Ellie Potter believes her husband died during the Civil War. When she kills an attacking soldier, she's forced to flee and joins a California-bound wagon train.
Meanwhile her husband, an officer at Andersonville, is very much alive. Lawman Rick Tanner is assigned to find him after he's spotted in California and assumes Ellie is on her way to him.
Rick hopes Ellie will lead him to her husband. He doesn't expect to be attracted to her just as Ellie is to him. His verbal barbs raise her dander and their battle of wills escalates.
Rumors force them to marry (in name only) or she will have to leave the train. However, when Ellie falls ill, she and Rick are left behind. He nurses her back to health and seduces her. But both have secrets, and when they reach California, events reach a dramatic climax.
The premise behind ENDLESS NIGHT is intriguing and the verbal sparring excellent, but the lack of real conflict and some slow points in the plot made this reader's interest wane. SENSUAL (Sept., 352 pp., $4.99)

Apple, Samsung Not the Two Losers from Moto X
But how do you get ahead? How do you break the stranglehold that Apple, Google and Samsung have created? The first two have created deep ecosystems that continue to lure in more and more consumers while refusing to let them out.
Apple has arguably the deepest ecosystem, with top-of-the-line hardware and software that continues to win over consumers old and new. Google has been able to piggyback off of other hardware companies with its Android operating system, but most consumers are widely familiar with its other services, such as Maps, Drive, Gmail and search.
With the Moto X, Google is starting to build out the hardware side of things and could close in on Samsung. Maybe it will overtake Apple and Samsung in smartphone sales, but it's not likely. However, it certainly just made the mountain much steeper for Microsoft, Nokia and BlackBerry.

Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is "shocked" by the legal battle over his latest film "The Butler," and he doesn't understand why a rival studio would try to force him to change the title.
Bing: More on the dispute over 'The Butler'
The Weinstein Company chiefs have been embroiled in a dispute over Lee Daniels' historical drama as executives at Warner Bros. claim they own the rights to the name because they have a 1916 short film of the same title in their back catalogue. Warner Bros. bosses won an arbitration case last week and "The Butler" is now facing a name change just weeks ahead of its planned August release date.
Director Daniels wrote an emotional letter to Warner Bros. heads imploring them to drop their challenge, and now Weinstein has weighed in on the case, insisting he can't understand the reasons behind the legal action.
He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "I am shocked at what happened on 'The Butler.' It's amazing to me how a 1916 short called 'The Butler' is knocking out a movie that deals with civil rights. I have no idea what's going on with that. They're not making another Butler. I don't know what they're doing or what their reason is."
The movie, which stars Forest Whitaker as real-life White House butler Eugene Allen, is due for release in the U.S. on August 16.
I agree--what's the big deal? Recently, I went to watch "Project X" expecting to see Helen Hunt and Matthew Broderick. What did I get? A bunch of drinking idiots, not the original "Project X" (which is an excellent movie).
There are a lot of movies with the same name, and I don't remember anyone going to court over them in the last 3-4 decades.

US Department of Transportation
Federal Highway Administration
Subject: Eligibility of HSIP Funds for Sign Replacement
From: Jeffrey A. Lindley, Associate Administrator for Safety
To: Division Administrators
Date: February 27, 2008
In Reply Refer To: HSA
Since the recent rulemaking on the minimum retroreflectivity of traffic signs we have received inquiries concerning the eligibility of Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds for sign replacement.
While a variety of safety improvements, including signing, are eligible activities, section 148 of title 23 U.S.C. outlines specific requirements for identifying and prioritizing projects. Data analysis is the foundation of the HSIP and should be the determining factor when making funding decisions and allocating resources. Safety funds are to be used on the most effective treatments at the locations with the greatest needs.
In order for a sign replacement project to be funded with HSIP funds there must be a demonstrated need and a safety benefit that is supported by data. In addition, safety projects funded with HSIP funds must be consistent with the State's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP).
Section 148(d)(2) of title 23 U.S.C. makes clear that other Federal-aid funds are eligible to support and leverage the safety program. Improvements to safety features, including traffic signs, that are routinely provided as part of a broader Federal-aid project should be funded from the same source as the broader project. We encourage the use of other Federal-aid funds for system wide replacement projects.
If your State plans to use funds available under the HSIP (23 U.S.C. 148) for traffic sign replacement, it is important that these funds be spent in line with the purpose of the program: "to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public roads."

Emmy Award Winning Reporter Mark S. Allen of "Good Day Sacramento" Named Host of Born Free USA Fundraiser
Born Free USA, a national leader in animal welfare and wildlife conservation, has announced that award-winning television news reporter and anchor Mark S. Allen will host "Born to Ride for Wildlife," a fundraising event from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, April 25, at Beatnik Studios in Sacramento, CA (2421 17th St.), which will feature a raffle of a 2013 Harley Davidson Iron 883 Sportster valued at over $8,000.
According to Born Free USA Executive Vice President Adam Roberts: "We are excited that Mark will be hosting our event and help bring attention to our mission to keep wildlife in the wild. He has a wonderful stage presence and thinks on his feet with humor and intelligence, so we know that he will be sure that the crowd is having a fabulous time!"
Allen says: "The movie 'Born Free' is actually the very first memory I have of ever seeing a movie in a theater and the message has been a part of me ever since. It's fate that all these years later this amazing group at Born Free USA — a wildlife conservation group founded by the film's stars — has approached me to host their Sacramento fundraiser. This is a huge honor for me, and I promise an awesome, fun and most importantly fulfilling night for all!"
Mark S. Allen is a three-time Emmy Award winner, the entertainment anchor for "Good Day Sacramento" on CW/CBS Sacramento, and the producer/host of "Mark@TheMovies" on CW31 and Reelz Channel Network. He also had a show on Comedy Central for two years called "Short Attention Span Theater," and co-hosted a nationally syndicated television show with Lisa Ling called "Scratch. "

Raiders fans were waiting for the return of Darren McFadden on Thursday night and they got it. McFadden scored a touchdown and got the Raiders into their matchup against the Denver Broncos, but the comeback tour was short lived. Despite starting and scoring, McFadden wasn't able to finish the game and the full extent of his new injury isn't known.
Allen says Darren McFadden wasn't able to finish because he hurt same ankle. Doesn't know how serious it is
— Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) December 7, 2012
Thursday night was McFadden's first game back since injuring his ankle back on November 4th against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The man they call Run DMC missed the next four games and made his triumphant return last night, rushing for 52 yards on 11 carries and catching a touchdown pass from Carson Palmer.
But with 6:56 left in the game, McFadden took what could be his last carry of the season for the Raiders. McFadden came up lame and left the game, failing to return. The game was all Denver's at that point, so his return would have been a meaningless risk. McFadden is entering the last year of his contract next season, and if it's anything like his previous two injury riddled seasons, McFadden won't be seeing the kind of money he's counting on the bench at the moment.

Doctoral Program in Administration and Leadership Studies
Education is the mother of leadership. —Wendell Willkie.
Education is the mother of leadership. —Wendell Willkie.
The doctoral program in Administration and Leadership Studies is designed for future college teachers and administrators and offers a rich mixture of theory and application through specifically designed courses. We expect our cohort to develop a spirit of a camaraderie that promotes the development of ethical beliefs, and a constructivist philosophy. In addition to traditional course work, the Gettysburg Leadership Walk is designed to complement the academic package and to promote leadership concepts and ideas for future research.
We want to attract potential leaders into this program who can think critically, who can write well and who can speak effectively. In addition, candidates for this program must be sensitive, must be able to analyze complex problems, must be able to make rational decisions and must be able to articulate their own personal philosophy. Our intent is to help college teachers and college administrators to develop leadership attributes through extensive reading, through analysis of administrative leadership case studies, through self-assessment leadership profiles, and through application of leadership skills in a field setting. We believe that by keeping the program small, as well as highly selective, we will be able to attract top quality candidates into the program. We want to develop a program whose major objective is to educate quality leaders who can implement visionary programs in educational organizations. We believe that leadership skills can be taught. We believe that by creating an atmosphere of high expectations, by requiring students to prepare manuscripts for publication, and by requiring students to organize professional leadership seminars we will promote the development of leadership skills.

How to deal with living in a less-than-ideal place?
September 27, 2012
How to deal with living in a less-than-ideal place?
My current apartment is pretty okay, but there are some things I don't like about it. The real issue is that I feel like I am living in limbo until I move in less than a year to a new awesome apartment in a fantastic city. So while I have that to look forward to, it is also a bit paralyzing. I am trying to frame it as focusing on the fact that I am 22 and most 22 year olds aren't living in Apartment Therapy style dwellings either. Pinterest doesn't really help as well.
Basically, how can I get over this mental block and feel like I am living my life right now? My physical space has always been incredibly important to me. I suppose some people are just like that. Like I said, my apartment is pretty okay, I've done the best I can, and I am not really able to invest any money into it. It is clean, relatively cute, and spacious. But I dislike the carpet, the location, and mostly where I am in my life (metaphorically and literally).
So while I am thrilled that I am moving, it is still quite a few months away. I have already compiled plenty of ideas for the new place, inspiration boards, etc. but want to try and enjoy my life now, in this in-between period.
Moving, I guess, kind of represents a brand new start for me in many ways, and an improvement in others. It could be that I am just making it out to be more than it is.
So any advice and words of wisdom are appreciated.

Decorate with lots of plants. That's literal.
Bloom where you're planted. That's metaphorical.
Otherwise, put up a count-down board that shows the number of days left until you're in your place? I recommend the '
Velociraptor Free Workplace
' poster, just for fun.

You've got plenty of ideas. Put them in a drawer and stop looking at them until the move happens. (This also applies to virtual idea posting websites.)

It sounds more like you don't like where you are in life. Clean, cute, and spacious are much better than many people have. An awesome apartment in a new city is something to look forward to, but that doesn't solve your problems. Focus on your life now instead of dreaming of enjoying it in a year. A crappy carpet is nothing to waste time worrying about.

Keep your eyes open for decor items that can move with you - gorgeous textiles can really liven up a place - pillow covers in bright colours, a lovely area rug, a beautiful blanket over the couch, or even an amazing piece of fabric that you
cover the wall with
. These are all totally practical useful things you can get and use now that you'll still have in the next apartment, so you won't be wasting any money. Also, since it's a year until you move, you don't have to get anything in a hurry - you can spend time thoughtfully combing the local thrift shops and bargain fabric stores for exactly the right items.

I don't know if this helps, but I'm in the same boat. I spent the last two years living in a somewhat shitty apartment which I shared with someone who I don't see eye to eye with in terms of decor. So I just got used to not being in control of my space, over the course of that time. And then in May I gave that apartment up with an eye towards moving cross-country. Now I'm subletting a place temporarily. No point in fixing it up, since I'm only here for a few months.
This can be really depressing. Like you, I take a lot of inspiration from my physical surroundings, so not being able to hang a picture or pick out a new shower curtain can be demoralizing.
My solution has been to try to think more about the future, and what I'd like my home to be like when I get settled again. I'm purging things that don't matter to me and figuring out how to ship what I love. Looking at apartment listings obsessively. Because I don't have to commit to anything yet, I'm letting myself be a total snob about it. Hardwood floors. Plenty of natural light. None of that mirrored closet bullshit. I know when I actually settle down that there's going to be some hard realism in there somewhere, but the beauty of fantasizing about your future home is that it's a fantasy.
On the other hand, it sounds like you've already done lots of cloud castle building. This will depend where you live and what there is to do, but what about trying to get out of the house as much as you can? Are there experiences you can't have in your new city? Adventures yet to be experienced? Parks to walk in? Places to say goodbye to? There's something about the liminal period of a long distance move that can be very romantic. Almost like being nostalgic for something that isn't over yet.

Choose one new thing you will like. A throw. A shower curtain. A set of pillows. A new rug. Whatever. It can be bought new or perhaps raid your friends/family's homes for one piece? My mom was always willing to give her kids nearly anything in the house they might like.
Also, might sound silly, but: Spend less time at home! Get out, hang with friends, don't obsess over the apartment.

Could you pretend you're staying in a hotel? I mean, that's pretty much what it is, temporary accommodation, so of course it's terrible and not ideally placed and you don't want to decorate. Accordingly, keep yourself busy outside it and come home to sleep, bathe, and change.

Here's how you deal with it: be thankful you don't live in my apartment. At least yours is "clean, relatively cute, and spacious." Mine is dirty, ugly, and small. My kitchen is so small I feel like I wear it.
But nothing is forever, and some day I will live in a nicer place.

You didn't say where you were, but I've found craigslist to be a pretty good place to get cheap or free stuff. You have to keep at it, check it daily, and some people on craigslist aren't the most honest. But if you have a car, you can take a chance and catch things when the owners have to sell it in two days, or are about to throw it in the nearest dumpster. I am
how I have found items--appliances, furniture, clothes--in nearly perfect condition sold for a pittance. Or free. One man's junk is another man's treasure...and all that.

Some pretty common advice to women about clothes is "dress the body you have" instead of shopping for clothes that will fit a future size. I think the same is true of homes.
Natural light in the day time. Maybe some cute curtains for the windows if you have crappy apartment blinds.
Revel in the fact that you don't have to constantly wipe up the spills and empty the cat box that belong to someone else
no I'm not harboring resentment over anything current. why would you ask?
A pair of pretty throw pillows for your sofa, even if your sofa is a busted beer stained futon that you pulled out of a dumpster your sophomore year of college.
bright dish towels for your kitchen.
invite people over, they will see your place differently than you do. Have a game night, make some fun snacks. Having fun in your space makes it more enjoyable when you're just hanging out there alone.
Hang art. And pictures from places you've been, people you adore.
If you must go to pinterest, don't look at the "everything" tag, or all of the pinners you follow. Only look at things that are not going to bum you out, say, landscapes or kittens instead of interiors (which are not lived in. They are styled and impractical.)
Read books at home. Be looking at a different universe, one created on the page and made vivid in your brain. This takes your focus off your housing. Better still if you can read bleak stuff, like a lot Dickens.
Yard sales, garage sales, estate sales are places for great finds.
Don't buy inexpensive things just to have them or fill the space. Wait until you come across the right thing. This is true of furniture, dishes, rugs, all of it. For a few reasons.
once you have a mediocre thing, you stop looking for the right thing
the mediocre thing will be slightly annoying in it's wrongness
you will have spent the money or devoted the space to mediocre thing, which will make parting with it difficult. So when Perfect Thing comes serendipitously along, you may avoid it, because also:
putting furniture on Craigslist is sort of a pain.

I had a housemate who taught me something. Even thought he was only going to be living with me for six months or so, he took the time to paint his room and make small improvements like hanging curtains and putting up a hook for his keys. He said that the small amount of time it took was worth it in terms of his mental health.
I thought back on times when I was living someplace where I saw myself as a short-timer, and I remembered the squalid feeling that came of having no art on the walls, my stuff in boxes, etc. -- and I realized he was right.
Effort you put into the place where you live has a ways of paying dividends. This can be especially helpful when you don't like where you are in life.
In short, keep making your place nicer in little ways, and see if you don't start feeling better about the place and your life in general.

Basically, how can I get over this mental block and feel like I am living my life right now? ... I dislike the carpet, the location, and mostly where I am in my life (metaphorically and literally).
Make a list of 10 good, interesting, unique things about the area where you are now, and spend the remainder of your time there exploring/experiencing those things. You're leaving that area for new-city within a year and it doesn't sound like you'll be back, so make sure you take that day-trip to such-and-such, climb Mount Whatever, go through the corn maze at the pumpkin patch, do a photo shoot of all the interesting brickwork in Old Town, etc. A mini-bucket list for this chapter of your life. That way you will carry some nice memories/experiences away with you when you start the next chapter.
For your apartment itself, plants for sure, like matty said. But keep an eye out as you're exploring your mini-bucket list for one interesting thing, like maybe a lamp or a mixing bowl or piece of art, that you can see living with for a long time. It will make where you are a nicer place, and make where you go next a familiar place.

Sounds like the real issue is 'what do I do for the next year'?
Absolutely DO NOT spend your time staring at a countdown board. That's both demeaning for where you are (metaphorically and literally) and is a sure way for disappointment.
Plan you year ahead; there's lots of things you want to do, right? Figure out what's good around you and what you should do before you move on, then arrange to do it.
-Is there a good cycling trail in the area? Set a date for doing it; Spring maybe. Build and bike and get in training.
-How about taking an art class and investing in a drawing board/easel? Stained glass? Pottery?
-Are there any local festivals you can get tickets for and invite some people to stay?
-what's the local food? When's it in season? Where's the best place to eat it?
(um, basically what 'headnsouth' said)

Unlike i_wear_boots, I think you need to
Apartment Therapy. I used to read it, and other design blogs, and check out Pinterest, and then feel bad about my perfectly nice apartment that I don't have the time/energy/money/skill to make really beautiful. So, I just quit reading them. Now, instead of thinking about my carpet magically turning into hardwood and that Hy-Vee down the street magically turning into an Ikea, I just appreciate the good stuff about my apartment, which really is the nicest place we've ever lived.
You can always go back to Apartment Therapy in a year when you're in your new, fabulous apartment. Until then, find something else to read. I still read a couple of DIY type blogs, which I find still fill that designy niche, but in a more "someday when I have a house" kind of way.

Since you're where you are for a limited time, try to do EVERYTHING you can in that area. Eat at all the good restaurants, go on all the good hikes, go to the museums, find the farmer's markets.
Concentrate on where you are NOW, not where you'll be in a year. Another option would be to get a second job. You can bank the extra money for pretty new things in your new place and you can concentrate on filling your coffers for that.
If I've learned anything in my 50 years, it's that NOW is the only time that matters. So make it matter.

I bought a house because I watched HGTV and was reading Apartment Therapy. Apartment decorating is a very valid and time consuming hobby, just like any other hobby. If you don't have the resources (time, money) to devote to it, do yourself a favor and accept that your apartment is not going to be featured on AT.
It's your space. It's cute, spacious, and clean. That's actually really nice already.
I'm seconding the suggestions above for buying affordable things that you can take with you to your new apartment. Maybe a cute rug at a flea market, or a meaningful poster that's nicely framed, or lots of plants. Things like that.
Another thing I did when living in temporary apartments was to go out a lot. I spent my time at home sleeping or doing homework. If you honestly don't like your apartment, don't spend so much time in it.

Do you have personal things displayed in your apartment? I find that things like photos and books really change the way a place feels. And not just photos on the fridge but in a frame, on a shelf/table/on top of the tv. And use photos that bring back great memories of fun vacations, awesome parties, etc. so you smile every time you see them. I love books and seeing a stack of books on a shelf makes me feel at home (plus, they are colorful and take up a lot of space, so make it feel less empty) And I second (third?) the suggestion for plants.
Something really important to remember about photos in Apartment Therapy and places like Pinterest is that they are professionally styled and photographed. If you could turn around and see the other side of the room in a photo there would be professional lighting, fancy cameras, a stylist that brought along half the interesting knick-knacks in the photo, a pile of the homeowners belongings in the corner and the rest of the furniture pushed out of place. And non-professional photos are often the work of someone for whom this is a job and/or an obsession. They devote a lot of time and money to thrifting, shopping, designing, painting, constantly tweeking things to make it perfect. Think of it like fashion magazines – sometimes fun to look at, but often an unattainable ideal.

Get a mat cutter and start framing some art, prints, or even nice images from magazines. Iowa has cheap frames. Then you can hang you art in your current place, and take it with you to your next pad. I recomend any projects that can brighten up your current place, and be fun in the new place. Do you sew? If not, look for a beginning class - making pillow covers and curtains are all straight line stitching projects. Focus on making nice accents for any place - if you don't want them in the new space, give 'em to friends.

I'm in a similar situation to you, except I'm a lodger, so while my house is a nice enough place it's not right for me and it isn't 'mine' either, if you see what I mean. I'm moving in six months but I have that limbo feel too - I'm 30 and I just don't want to live out of one room or house-share at this point in my life, but there are practical reasons for me staying put there over the winter.
We're not allowed to paint or hang pictures in rented places in the UK so all the 'small space hacks' in Apartment Therapy were of no use to me, and just annoyed be because it's unlikely I'll be able to buy a house any time in the next ten years (housing market in London is not great). Dingy white walls and stain-attracting colours of carpet suck, and the general decor of the rest of the house is dated to say the least - but I keep remembering that it isn't my place and in the meantime I can save cash to make my next place easier to live in. I'm taking time to declutter, sell off things I don't want/need or taking them to the charity shop, and thinking about whether I want X or Y in my shiny new place. While this is living in the future to an extent, it's a good project to occupy your time that's more useful than just feeling crapy about your space.
Nice bed linen and a comfy chair and cushion will go a long way.

There is some great advice here on how to make your place feel and look nice. I love this kind of stuff.
I will advise you to stop caring about your carpet right now and go live a life. As a 40-year-old woman who used to worry too much about what my house looked like, I can tell you that's it's (mostly) a waste of time. Sure, it's nice, even important, to make your surroundings comfortable and beautiful, but don't get caught up in comparing your home to Pinterest, shelter blogs and magazines, or your friend's places. Those pictures and spaces are not reality. Most of them are staged. Most of them come from homes of millionaires, not 22-year old students or 40-year-old suburbanites. A lot come from interior designers, architects, artists, and such who make their living designing. It sounds like you know this.
Don't ever apologize for your carpet and don't be embarrassed, or feel badly, about your house. If you feel good about your carpet other people will too and really, nobody gives a shit what your floor covering is. It's more interesting, and fun, to add personal touches and be creative than to fret over carpeting. Work with what you got and be fine with it.
At your new place: Spend within your budget. Don't go into debt buying furniture and accessories. Acquire things over time. Remember: People, friends, relationships, experiences, your health (financial, physical, and mental), leisure time, hobbies and creating are the most important (and interesting) things.

Another vote for stop reading Apartment Therapy and mulling about Pinterest. Get of your house, and out of your head, and experience life.
Some people focus on their bodies as the Thing That Would Make Me Happy, and spend years poring over fashion and celebrity magazines trying to fit some ideal to bring about joy, never being able to admit that their love handles aren't the problem. You've attached that sentiment to your living space instead of your person. Your place isn't the cause of your unhappiness, it's not even a symptom. It's a scapegoat.
I left a sad boring town I hated to move to an exciting city and people told me that it wouldn't solve my problems, and they were only partially correct. It certainly solved my rather large concern over horrible public transit and I am honestly happier here, but unfortunately my procrastination and anxiety came with me.
Your new place will be an improvement, it will undoubtedly give you some joy, but if you learn to be happy where you are now, and feel like you are living your life even with a lame carpet, then some of problems you are hoping to escape won't be dragged along with you.

When I was twenty-two, I was living in a shitty loft (not a nice loft, but an actual semi-converted warehouse) with a bunch of Ikea furniture that was falling apart. I didn't have a closet, and I hung my clothes on some rolling rack thing that a bought at Target. The rolling rack was a piece of shit, though, and it kept falling over. My room flooded whenever it rained, but the rent was cheap.
You're twenty-two!
I am finally getting to the point that I have nice things, but you know what? My roommates spilled wine on my couch, my dog keeps licking my nice bedspread, and a friend drunkenly broke a vase. You're young; shit happens. Hang some posters, paint if you won't have to paint it back, and pick up some knick knacks or whatever, but step away from the pinterest.
I have a friend who's a furniture designer, and his living space is split between show-room quality decor, and not showroom quality. His pieces are regularly featured on apartment therapy and other design blogs. His bedroom and his workspace are a fucking mess. In sum: Design blogs lie!

1. Re-focus. What will you need for your new life? If you'll have a new job that needs a new wardrobe, start planning and making lists for it. If a pair of beautiful shoes is on your list, and you find a perfect pair really on sale, you buy them. Or focus on the training you're doing for your next job, so you can get a head start.
2. What stuff that you have or need now will go with you?(as mentioned above) Use an online room
to make plans for, say, your perfect bedroom. Windowshop on AT, Pinterest,
Urban Outfitters,
Anthropologie, etc. Even if you just window shop and never buy anything, you can still have fun doing virtual design. Or you can shop carefully, get great deals, recover a cool vintage find from Goodwill, etc., to take with you when you go.
3. The 'perfect' rooms where somebody went out and bought a bunch of nice stuff? They'll look dated pretty soon. A home full of things you pick out over time is far more interesting. It might not photograph as well, but it's more satisfying to live in.
4. Meanwhile, there are some inexpensive personalizations. Make sure your room smells really nice with a bowl of apples or oranges, or really nice scent. Use a nice lamp, or hang fairy lights, if all you have is an overhead light. Or hang a paper parasol over the ceiling light. Hang a poster of a piece of art or a person that inspires you. Get a cheap wood chair at Goodwill, and paint it your favorite color, even if, or especially if it doesn't go with anything. Disposable decor can make your space personal without serious commitment.

This doesn't answer your question but I'm just coming out of where you are entering - living in limbo because something better is coming. All I will say is it's worth it:) Through sacrifice and hard work, I'm coming out of the recession in a much better place than when it started. I just bought an awesome house (for a great price at an all-time low interest rate) in my new city and am wrapping up a few loose job-related ends in my old city before it's complete.
I guess one thing I could say to answer your question is I wish I had spent a little more on my temporary place, especially since it ended up lasting longer than anticipated. I did nothing - no pictures on the walls, no painting, no plants, etc. and it was sort of depressing.

Communication Solutions: Smart Ways to Kindly Make Neighbor Requests
Renters Solutions
When it comes to making neighborly requests — be it for for noise, trash, aesthetics, smells — it really depends on what kind of person you're dealing with. Also, the kind of person you are. Are you a good neighbor? I have a tendency to be pretty forgiving when it comes to noises during the day. Living in an apartment building, it's common sense that as long as a neighbor is making noise during normal daily hours for something that isn't needless (construction, cleaning, music at a reasonable volume), live and let live. When it comes to nighttime noise, or harmful components such as smoking — that's when it makes sense to raise a complaint.
If you have a neighbor that has, on all other occasions, acted like a regular friendly human being, the logical solution to voicing a kind complaint would be to knock politely on their door at a reasonable hour and explain your issue without judgement or rudeness. Make the problem about you, first and foremost: "I am the worst sleeper, and even the simplest things like stomping around to The Backstreet Boys at 3am keep me awake — can you believe it?" Usually, the offending person will be flabbergasted that they are even bothering you, and will quickly try to remedy the problem.
However, if this doesn't work, I've got a few tips for you to try out:
• After visiting their home, if their reaction was pleasant, and the problem did decrease slightly after you mentioned it to them, then went back to regular annoyance, try writing them a kind note and placing it under their door. Sometimes people are just busy and aren't thinking of whether or not you can hear them doing their dishes in the middle of the night (for example). Always sign the note, and be nice.
• Check to see if your building or HOA has rules about whatever the problem is. Sometimes, these rules just need to be redistributed to remind people of their accountability to their neighbors.
• Try to suggest a plan. If their behavior is reasonable but offensive, suggest times that you might be away from your home for them to engage in them. (i.e. play The Backstreet Boys loudly maybe while I'm at work?).
• If contact with the neighbor is nearly impossible and a kind note didn't do the trick, try communicating with some other neighbors. Do they have the same problem? Perhaps several requests may help the offending person see the error of their ways.
• Although it may be considered passive-aggressive, consider using creative technology if you're extremely shy or ...well, you know, passive-aggressive. Change your Wifi name to "APT112shhh," or something of the like. Remember, be nice, but don't expect huge results from this one.
• If all else fails, make a complaint to your management company or (in a very last resort) the police, with a written record of several dated instances of the same behavior. Make sure your complaint is truly viable before doing this. Vacuuming in the middle of the day, or cooking pungent-smelling ethnic food is not reason enough to complain.

This post came at exactly the right time. My upstairs neighbour moved in 3 months ago and her nighttime music has been bothering me. Having seen her only once (and never spoken to her) I had no idea how to confront her about it.
Whatever you do, a post-it note with a smiley face seems like a very passive-aggressive tactic.
Each time I've moved to a new apartment over the years, I take flowers to my neighbors on each side and below, and I give them my card, with name and email and phone number. I tell them that I'm a very quiet, respectful neighbor and if there is any problem, please call me. They have always given me their email and/or phone number in return. Whenever there's been a noise problem (very rare), I just email them. So far this has been very successful. I work on a farm, and every month I bring them eggs or veggies. At New Year's, I always give them a gift and thank them for another year of peace and quiet and friendliness as neighbors.
@Fleamarketeer....hopefully the problem with your upstairs neighbor is simply her having her speakers in the wrong place. In college I (stupidly) put my bass speaker right on the floor. Even if the music wasn't loud, the bass would pound pretty powerfully for whoever was below me. Once this was pointed out to me, I moved it off the floor and had no further complaints!
@yoohoo has the BEST idea, IMO - get to know the neighbors right away. And the other suggestions she makes are absolutely brilliant. Much appreciated!
My experience in this neighborhood, unlike anywhere else I've ever lived, is that people are absolutely astonishing when you have to talk to them about noise.
In TWO different situations - and I know these people don't talk to each other - when I've said, after writing two or more polite notes, "your dog has been barking 2 hours, would you please not leave him out while you're gone," the first response was "He's barking at YOU! You've upset him!"
The one REALLY stupid girl, when I pointed out that I'd only been there 10 seconds, went on to claim "Of course he's barking! He's barking AT something!"
The second response is "well, that other guys dog barks all the time." In each instance, the other dog doesn't bark even 5% as much. And even if that other dog were exactly as bothersome, that's no excuse for this person to let THEIR dog be.
The third response is "OK, go ahead and report me, then!" And then I'll report YOU for..." And in neither case had I threatened to call Animal Control.
And the fourth, and crowning glory, is to point out how THEY don't believe in complaining about neighbors (in one case this was blatantly untrue), and therefore *I* am the one who's a pain,
Sitcoms and commercials that glorify people, -usually young adults - demonizing those whom they bother - usually older single people - don't help - and to the discredit of our society, are not uncommon.
Thank you for this article. The golden rule is so much more important than many realize. Eventually, even really thoughtless people will develop enough sensitivity to want to be considerate of others. May that day come sooner rather than later!
Agreed- I had the only neighbor I share a wall with (who I say hello to every time I see them!) leave me a note signed "A Concerned Neighbor". If they were so concerned with my TV volume they could have knocked on my door or at least signed their name... It kills me because we only watch one TV show a week! Walking Dead!
@yoohoo - Won't you be my neighbor? :)
My neighbor got upset with me because there is cat poop in her bushes (which, I assume, is a problem because her dogs go after it, just like mine do). She has decided that is my fault because I have a cat that goes out at night (to hang with the 14 neighborhood feral cats from which he spawned). To show her displeasure she has (anonymously) put dog poop and dirty diapers on my front porch. I only know about her real complaint because the landlord mentioned it to me.
Note that as a "don't"
Oh, neighbors! I have wonderful neighbors that are doing construction and have been vigilant about communicating with us about (especially noisy) construction days. Honestly, the noise is disruptive, but the considerate notes/texts/calls make me so much more tolerant. Acting like my neighbor is a good way to prevent problems.
If you do have a problem with a neighbor, I suggest that you ask for a specific outcome ("Could we agree not to use our TVs or play music after 11 pm or before 7 am?" "Could you make sure that your dog is indoors or quiet during the day so I can conduct my business?") Even if your neighbor doesn't agree, it opens a dialog.
Lastly: Document everything. Never a bad idea.
@artfemme11 - so sorry to hear about your barking sandwich! We had a similar situation with our dog (not much of a barker and never has been) and a neighbor dog (SUPER barker at everything). The neighbors ended up getting one of those citronella collars and it really has worked wonders. If things get really desperate and they're still not taking the initiative, maybe you can just send them one? You can get them on Amazon for like $35 and it might be worth the investment.
When our now-14-year-old daughter was a toddler (with allergies and asthma, hence, only area rugs over the wood floors), she did normal toddler activities around our third floor apartment. Our neighbor right below us, childless (and soon divorced since he tended to verbally abuse his wife) would knock loudly on his ceiling, our floor, with a broom or something like that. All the time. This went on for many years, past the toddler years, whenever she walked, practically. Also, if we accidentally sort of scraped the kitchen chairs away from the table, instead of silently lifting them, he did his broom thing. Meanwhile, he played his music at deafening levels (I assume to get back at us). Fortunately, few people like(d) him and most commiserated with us. There are now several toddlers in our condo building; upstairs from us, it sometimes sounds like they're moving furniture around, it's so noisy! Doesn't bother me in the least. If my neighbor wants to dwell in complete serenity and quiet, I say get a cabin in the woods. And by the way, we always let him know ahead of time when she was having a sleepover or something like that where there would be a gaggle of girls running around. While he appreciated the advance notice, his basic attitude hasn't changed in 14 years.
@yoohoo - you are fantastic! It is much easier to talk to someone you already have a rapport with.
I only just met my next door neighbor (after 1.5 years of living in the apt) when he was trying to get other neighbors to gang up on his downstairs neighbor who smoked right under his apartment windows. The downstairs neighbor doesn't bother me though, so it was a very awkward introductory conversation, as he wanted me to join him in calling the cops or the landlord on the smoking neighbor. I suggested a general complaint about smoking to the landlords (there is a different neighboring smoker that bothers me!)
Mostly I give up because most of the tenants in my building smoke and I don't plan on living there too much longer.
I think it's important to make an effort to be friendly with your neighbors in advance so if anything comes up you already have some rapport. That said, I also think that if something is bothering you, a polite note is fine. How else are they supposed to know that you are bothered by their dog barking when they aren't home, or that you can hear their music? I'd rather do the note thing than knock on someone's door and interrupting their evening.
The custom where I grew up was when new people moved in, you made an effort to stop and introduce yourself the first time you see them. In my current house, about half my neighbors did this (the awesome nice people) and about half didn't (the douches). Guess which ones I care about if they have any complaints for me?
I have a neighbor downstairs who makes the entire building reek of fish on a regular basis. Somehow she cooks it in a way that causes a deeply fishy, distinctly unpleasant smell to permeate the hallways and seep into our apartment (I'm guessing that she pan fries it on high heat, but I'm not sure). I actually really like fish, but this smell is awful. She is Chinese, and I wonder whether this is a traditional method of cooking.
Is there anything I can say? I know her and her husband well enough to stop and say hi when I see them outside, and I've been over to their apartment once. But I feel it's impossible to ask someone to stop cooking something the way that they obviously like to cook it.
There is not much we can do to stop whatever people do inside their own appartment, be it smoking, cooking or screaming during sex. We all pay rent and we all have the same rights and responsabilities. Everyone is entitled to enjoy their personal space as they see fit.
I live in an apartment in NYC. My landlord owns the building and I happen to live next door to him. As of a few months ago, their TV volume is so loud that I always hear a loud muffling noise and in turn have to turn on my own TV or music. It can be as early as 7am. He's a lawyer and he yells often (whether it's at his crew or on the phone). I'm not sure if there is a polite way to broach the subject. There were no volume issues the first 4 months. I don't want them not to offer a lease renewal next year. I love the apt, just not the muffling. Any suggestions?
This post comes at the perfect time for me. I have neighbors below me that insist on playing their violent video games in the evening using some sort of surround sound system. Both last week and this evening, I've attempted to go downstairs and speak to them, thinking that perhaps they don't understand how the noise translates in my unit. However, each time I go down there, they won't come to the door. We live in condos - I own and they are tenants. I've contacted the owner by email twice. The first time, he emailed me back insisting that they would keep it down. The second time was this evening. I haven't received a reply but I did CC the HOA board on it and let him know that I will pursuing a monetary penalty/violation. We will see what happens.
I think it's also important to consider that your neighbor might not be as obnoxious as you think.
I'm sure my neighbors have been annoyed at me making noises at night...but I'm no louder than they are during the day. I'm not staying up late, but rather I get up late. Working nights means that on my days off, I will be doing laundry and cooking and vacuuming at 1am some nights, and watching TV at the softest volume that's till audible throughout the night.
I try to be considerate, but I'm past the point of tiptoeing or letting things go by the wayside just because I work nights and had been shamed for years for having an alternate schedule.
Just try to think of things from the other's perspective. 9am vacuuming means I can't get to sleep myself.
walls are never thick enough!
I want to enjoy my apartment in peace and quiet. When you say that everyone is entitled to enjoy their space as they want, that is true. But they are not entitled to encroach upon the personal space of others, whether with loud noises, or harmful smoke, or whatever else they can come up with.
We have a piano, so when we moved in to our apartment we went to all of our surrounding neighbors and told them we would keep it to the hours of 9-7 and if they ever thought it was too loud or had a headache or anything, just knock on our door and let us know. We haven't had a problem yet
Our upstairs neighbors however seem to be home ALL day long and make a ton of noise from 6am to past midnight! When I'm trying to get our 4 month old to nap its SO frustrating. I've lived in apartments for most of my life, and this is not normal.
If they were more pleasant I would talk to them, but they're pretty rude. Suggestions?
My neighbors are more or less quiet. Only once did they get carried away for about a week, after which I filed a complaint and they apologized and have kept it down since. Other neighbors cook stinky onion soup about once a week, but they have also been nice enough to lend me a quarter when my last one was too bent for the washing machine. My neighbor downstairs gets home the same time I put my daughter to sleep - my quiet time after which is spent listening to her cackling and extensive phone calls. Good grief.
Vacuuming in the middle of the night is totally unreasonable. And obnoxious. Do it on your day off, or during some part of your day, before or after you leave for work. There is no conceivable work schedule that cuts you off from any reasonable hour of the day. If you get home at midnight, go to sleep and vacuum at 2 pm the next day. If you get home at 4 am and sleep, vacuum at 6 pm that night. If you're a renter vacuuming at 1 am you will probably get evicted (unless the landlord is a family member). If you own, then it will obviously be harder for your neighbors to do anything about it, but it's still obnoxious.
What perfect timing for this post! My boyfriend and I just moved in together in a wonderful apartment in Venice...but it's in a large building. It's been a long time since I've had to deal with this many sounds around us but as a former NYC dweller it's all fine...except our downstairs neighbor. We thought he was a musician since his hours are insane and his music is always bumping. He will blast music until 3am most days of the week and for some reason it is inaudible from the outside walkways - just loud in our apartment. We've gone down to talk to him three times - each time super nice and respectful and one time I even brought him some beer as a "nice to meet you" present. We figured out it is just really unfortunate placement of his speakers, as they are directly under our bed. I bought ear plugs to wear at night because we don't want to ban him from playing music just because he's a night owl. It's really challenging because we don't want to be jerks but all I feel at night is bass.
That said I ran into my landlord and he mentioned the small package I received. We talked about the earplugs and he told me I was the sweetest neighbor ever and if it ever became a problem to talk to him. Woo!
We live in a bock of two story apartments that have courtyards front and back. The neighbors at the back smoke, with their back window open. Smoke comes straight into our apartment. Can't have the windows shut the whole time, as Melbourne in summer is very hot, we don't have aircon and we need to cool the house down at night, it's affecting my breating to the point where I'm on oral steroids as well as a preventative inhaler, yet they won't stop despite knowing it bothers us. No-one has a "right" to pollute the air I breathe to the point where I need serious medication.
@Rebekkap, we had the same issue when we lived in an apartment. The neighbors below us would smoke on their back balcony, basically rendering our back windows and balcony useless as the smoke would rise. We compensated by opening the windows on the opposite side of the apartment to get airflow, but those windows were only for our bedroom and didn't open to the living space/kitchen. We never found a solution...it wasn't a very friendly apartment complex/kinda shady and I didn't feel comfortable 'confronting' or bringing it up. Otherwise they were quiet, and the balcony faced a short-term storage facility so it's not like we were trying to get out and enjoy the view.
Our upstairs neighbor has a 4 yr old who she lets ring our doorbell @ all hrs, scream constantly & stomp on the floor so hard that our tv's shake & we now have cracks in our living rm ceiling. We have tried asking her nicely with baked goods, hitting the ceiling with the back of a mop like a crazy person & finally speaking to our landlords, all with zero results. We have basically been told "he's a kid, learn to live with it."
Thankfully she is in the process of moving out & we are praying for a more considerate new neighbor.

Posted: Fri Jan 11 2013
Perhaps the most adaptable venue in London, this wide, 350-capacity basement room has long provided a home for trad jazz, pub blues, northern soul and punk. Originally a restaurant, the 100 Club was first hired out as a live music venue in 1942 and was popular as a hangout/bomb shelter during World War II owing to its underground location. Many historic shows have been staged at the 100 Club through the decades, including sets by Louis Armstrong, Billie Holliday, Muddy Waters, The Kinks, the Sex Pistols and just about every notable Britpop band. The 100 Club was threatened with closure in 2011 due to rocketing rent charges, but was saved thanks to securing backing from Converse, no doubt helped by vocal support for the venue from the likes of Sir Mick Jagger and Liam Gallagher.
