Quite a long walk from the centre, but the views of the city bellow are definitely worth it. Ogla was lovely and very accommodating.

It's a private building converted into a hostel, so there is no reception in the hostel, but don't worry, the owner Olga is very nice (she got a very cute sun, shhhh), and very easygoing, I arrive quite late, so I didn't give her the money, when I checked out, I just left the money in the locker and the keys in the mailbox, amazing!! It's pretty tidy and feels like home, and from the terrace, you got the incredible view of Alhambra and Albacin!!

HEAVEN!!! Amazing views of Alhambra and Granada! Day or night! And you don't have to share the stunning views from the terrace with 100 other tourists like at the official viewpoints. This is a place for relaxation, tranquility and serenity and even the most stressed person would feel peace in their soul! Olga is a fabulous owner of this bnb, generous to open up her cavehouse w kitchen to tourists (she does not live there) after her colorful creative renovation! Super room!Big cozy bed! LOVE IT!

If you haven't browsed through the Dundjinni forums, you really should. There are hundreds of good user-created map objects available for download there. http://www.dundjinni.com
The presence of the well would probably cause the road to widen there--it will attract lots of traffic, and carts will have to divert around it. Also, if you add any additional buildings, especially houses, they'll tend to cluster around that well. The people will be going there at least once each day, so they'll want to build their homes as close to it as they can to reduce the distance they must walk. Businesses, especially the ones that cater to travellers, will still favor the main road(s) through town, though.
It's looking a lot better already.
Oh, and don't worry about double-posting. I do it all the time and nobody's chastised me yet! It is possible to edit your own posts, though, if you just have a small correction or addendum.
And finally, that was Torstan's advice, regurgitated by me.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a lovely story with likable performances. I liked the pace, nothing was rushed and the relationships were believable as were the characters. I think some elements were a little heavy handed, Kristin Scott Thomas's performance and character could hav... read more

I got a copy of this earlier in the year and didn't watch it because it looked boring and didn't want to make the time. Then the Golden Globe nominations came out and this is up for a lot of Comedy awards, so I figured I would go back and give it a chance. Since it is up for co... read more

Watery, messy, mixed up and bitty "romantic" "comedy" without enough clear links. Occasionally funny and engaging but far more frequently squirm-inducingly cringy, contrived and unfocussed.

Cabrera's blast lifts Tigers over Royals
Miguel Cabrera's 39th home run of the season was a game-winner, with his ninth inning solo blast lifting the Detroit Tigers over the Kansas City Royals, 6-5, Saturday at Comerica Park. Benoit (3-0) tossed a scoreless top of the ninth to pick up the win, the Tigers' second of this five-game set. Detroit starter Doug Fister left with the lead after limiting the Royals to three runs over 6 1/3 frames. The Tigers moved 7 1/2 games clear of the third-place Royals in the AL Central with the victory. Game coverage of Game 5 in the home series against Kansas City gets underway at 12:40 P.M. on 1450 WHTC.
Cards Blank Cubs
Travis Wood allowed four runs on four hits over 5 1/3 innings for the Cubs in a losing effort against the Cardinals, 4-0. Chicago's best chance to score came in the third inning. With the bases loaded and one out, Anthony Rizzo struck out swinging and Nate Schierholtz grounded out to end the threat. Wood retired the first nine batters he faced before giving up back-to-back doubles to Carpenter and Beltran in the fourth. Game 3 of the weekend series gets started this afternoon at Wrigley Field.
White Sox Edge Twins
Dayan Viciedo clubbed a three-run homer and Chris Sale spun seven solid innings, as the Chicago White Sox edged the Minnesota Twins, 8-5, Saturday in the third tilt of a four-game series at Target Field. Sale struck out eight while yielding three runs on nine hits and one walk to notch his third straight victory. Addison Reed retired the Twins in order in the home half of the ninth to secure his 30th save of the season. The White Sox take on Minnesota today at Target Field.
White Caps Top Dragons
Jordan John tossed six strong innings and Corey Knebel picked up a four-out save as the West Michigan Whitecaps opened their seven-game road trip with a 3-2 win over the Dayton Dragons on Saturday night at Fifth Third Field. The two hurlers, along with Jeff Thompson, combined to throw a five-hitter as West Michigan picked up a much-needed win over Dayton on the heels of a disappointing 1-5 home stand. The road trip continues this afternoon.

The Concord University softball team lost to Tusculum College at the
National Collegiate Sports Invitational for the second time in as many
days Tuesday evening, dropping a 9-1 decision to the Pioneers.
Senior Stephanie Harper went 3-for-3 to lead the Mountain Lions.
Freshman Kristi Benvenuto was 1-for-2 with a run-scoring double, her
third RBI of the season. Sophomore Whitney Carrigan added one hit and
one run scored.
Freshman pitcher Lacey McDougall (4-6) struck out a season-high eight
batters in the loss. McDougall also went 1-for-3 at the plate to extend
her hitting streak to five games.
McDougall and Tusculum (11-11) pitcher Elizabeth Johnson dominated the
game early on with each hurler allowing no runs and striking out four
batters in the opening two innings.
However, the Pioneers broke the game open in the third inning with a four-run frame that Concord was never able to recover from.
The Mountain Lions scored their only run of the game in the bottom of
the third when Benvenuto slapped her first double of the season to score
Carrigan, who reached base earlier in the inning after being hit by
pitch before being advanced to second off of a sacrifice bunt from
sophomore Hayley Wade.
Tusculum's bats lit up again during the sixth and seventh innings with five more runs en route to the 9-1 victory.
The Mountain Lions return to action in North Myrtle Beach, S.C. on
Wednesday against Cairn University at 2:30 p.m. followed by Eureka
College at 5:00 p.m. Concord's game against Spalding University (KY)
that was postponed today has been rescheduled for Friday.

Grambling, La. – We announced recently that Grambling State University is the big winner of the vitaminwater national "HBCU Uncapped" contest, meaning the students have won a free concert.
Among all of the eligible and participating black colleges and universities, Grambling came in number one with the number of texts in support of Grambling State University. This gives Grambling big bragging rights, and the students will enjoy the concert in early to mid September.
We don't know who's going to be performing at the concert yet because vitaminwater and the show producer, FADER, , don't release that until hours before the show. We will provide media with an early heads-up, at least a couple of days, as we learn more closer to the event date. The location will be on or near campus. To give you an idea about the types of youthful acts produced by FADER, they have produced shows featuring BEST COAST…OMARION…MELANIE FIONA…BIG BOI…LITTLE DRAGON…A-TRAK…KENDRICK LAMAR…2 CHAINZ
Students were asked to politely brag about the university's win on Facebook and Twitter with @vitaminwater on Twitter and HASHTAG (#) GramFam, HASHTAG (#) vitaminwater and HASHTAG (#) uncapped.
"Our students were determined to win and their collective efforts paid off," Grambling State University President Frank G. Pogue said in a statement. "We're looking forward to an exciting vitaminwater Uncapped show."
"I'm not surprised at all," said David Ponton, dean of students at Grambling State University. "We have some of the best, most engaged, pro-active students anywhere. When I saw that Grambling had moved closer to the top, I knew it was just a matter of time before GramFam would ramp it up."
Students immediately started posting on Facebook and Twitter this afternoon, using #GramFam, #vitaminwater and #uncapped and @vitaminwater on Twitter.

The Eagles are interested in signing Jets wide receiver Plaxico Burress, according to Howard Eskin.
New York Jets Wide receiver Plaxico Burress wants to come to the Eagles, according to NBC10's Howard Eskin.
Saw and talked to Plaxico Burress at Super Bowl and told me he wants to play for Eagles. Badly!
After completing a one-year deal with the Jets, Burress will be a free agent on March 13.
According to Eskin, Andy Reid thought about bringing Burress to the Birds last year after having several conversations with him.
"I do believe the Eagles will take a hard look at signing Plaxico Burress," said Eskin.
Burress scored eight touchdowns and had 45 receptions for 612 yards last season with New York.

Crankworx Whistler - Giant Dual Slalom & Official Whip-Off World Championships - Aug 16, 2013
|Friday, August 16, 2013
|All Day
|Whistler Mountain Bike Park
|Free to observe
Giant Dual Slalom
Rivalry at its most naked, the Giant Dual Slalom's crowd-pleasing format pits two competitors, side by side, with the clock's second hand as the guillotine dropping to eliminate one rider per round. A bike-handling battleground, the finely sculpted track of jumps, berms, rhythm sections and drops pits fourcross specialists against gnar-chasing downhillers. Riders take one run down each side of the course. The fastest combined time wins. Each lap through the track raises the stakes and works up everyone's appetite to win.
For more information about this event or to get details about event registration, visit Crankworx Whistler
Official Whip-Off World Championships
The beauty of this event is there are no rules. Developed by Sven Martin, a mountain bike photographer who knows his whips, this event will bring the racers and the freeriders together to end the argument once and for all – who has the best style? You can't buy it and while you might not pick up a factory ride for winning, you will get the respect of every single rider in Whistler. Fun style, big whips, all going down on the huge Crabapple Hits.

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
Because TLG is a show about twins. That's the main point, whereas TVD is Elena's story, Katherine never owned half of the show just because they look alike, and she was an off-screen villain in season one then a villain in barely half of season two. As for Chando, I prefer Nina so I'm glad she didn't get the role. TLG also annoyed me, I'm not caught up with it but not sure if I even want to catch up. Candice auditioned for Elena too.LOLOL....excuse us "Mrs. Streep".....
I know i did a complete 180 on the Klaroline thing, but really, what else is there to ship on this titanic of a show? All the reasons for me not the ship them, on closer reflection, were complete nonsense because as someone rightly said, if Damon can be forgiven for the shit he's pulled and Stefan is technically the greatest serial killer in TVD universe then who are we or THEY for that matter to judge what Klaus does. The man has his own agenda....just like Damon did when he came to town and i don't remember Damon ever apologizing TO THIS DAY about killing Lexie so why should we give a fuck if Klaus kills Mayor Lockwood. Wasn't Lexie more emotionally important to us than Mayor Lockwood? Wasn't it Tyler who asked Carloine and Stefan what makes sacrificing his hybrid friend 3 episodes ago more noble than letting him live? All for the sake of some stupid cure for Elena???? I was so glad when Ty went all depressive postal on them because he made an excellent point that NO ONE on this show has ever brought up. What makes your friend more important than mine? Who decides who can be sacrificed and saved? As far as i'm concerned Plec should have never openned that can of worms because it only shows how incompetent and inconsistent a writer she is. For the seasons, out little gang have been going around acting all "we are the protectors of this town.....which we do by killing anyone who comes too close to our secret". Now its all, "what are we fighting for and against exactly?" Now anything can happen and anyone can die on this show and we the audience will not have a moral obligation to care because the characters themselves can't even figure out who to care about.

Budgeting - the basic steps
- Tuesday, February 22, 2000
I dont make enough money to be on a budget.
Thats a common statement we hear from people with very low incomes who contact Christian Financial Concepts for help.
The belief that a person doesnt have enough money to be on a budget indicates the person does not understand the concept of budgeting. Everyone, especially every Christian, should operate with a budget in order to be the best steward for God that she or he can be.
Beware of an attitude that results in the more-money-in, more-money-out syndrome. Many people who think they dont make enough money to be on a budget believe that making more money will solve their financial problems. However, without a control (budget), the more money you take in, the more money will go out.
Anyone with any amount of income can create a simple budget that works. And people on low incomes are probably in the greatest need of a budget because of their very limited resources.
How do you start?
- Begin a simple form of budget by dividing your income among predetermined priorities.
- Then, create a register or schedule for each priority (account).
- Next, divide your earnings among your priority accounts and enter each amount as a deposit in that account.
- Finally, when you take money from that account, enter the transaction as a withdrawal from that account.
- Then, create a register or schedule for each priority (account).
If you are a teen or preteen, dont get uptight about your budget when you are getting started. Right now you probably dont have much income or many expenditures. Dont worry, you wont go hungry, naked, or homeless if you should mess up your budget. Make a real effort to stick with your budget as best you can.
Ask for help from your parents if it gets too confusing. Or, call Christian Financial Concepts for help. If youre a young person, in a few years the money management skills you learn now will help pay for educational expenses, keep food in the fridge, clothes on your back, and a roof over your head.
If you will learn to manage your budget now, on a limited income, then managing your budget in the future will be much easier. Whether you make a little or a lot, living within your means on a budget can keep you on the path to being financially free.
Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed (1 Timothy 6:18-19).

This is kind of a test post. I am trying out new flash players for the blog. I used to use Imeem but it has gotten so bad that I have to use something else. Their player used to be simple small, simple and efficient but now it's big, covered with ads and only lets you listen to 30secs after which you have to go to Imeem to hear the rest. I posted these demo's before but the Imeem player cut them off and it was generally a waste of time. If you want a better description of the patches, go to the earlier post.
I tried to figure out XSPF flash player but no matter what way I tried it I could not get it to load my playlist when posted on Blogger. I am hosting my files on google sites so maybe that's the problem.
I am going to use this for a while.. it's crazy easy and seems to work. If anybody has any problems with hearing the audio I'd appreciate if you'd let me know in the comments.
Any suggestions?

Concert photos: Rum Drum Ramblers and Whistle Pigs at Off Broadway, Thursday, February 24
Seeing the Rum Drum Ramblers is always a good time — no question, but an album release show in front of a packed house at Off Broadway…well, you don't get to see that very often. Just awesome.
Bikers, punks, hipsters and bridesmaids were all getting down to some good ol' fingerpickin' punk blues. With Mat Wilson providing the foundation with his dirty guitar sound and style, he and his band played a set filled with numbers from their new album Mean Scene. Stompin'. Howlin'. Hootin'-and-a-hollerin'. They stirred up a whiskey-soaked crowd for an hour plus, and were joined on stage by members of the Funky Butt Brass Band and Pokey LaFarge at different points of the show. It was rowdy. It was wild. And it was a fine show to start off a month-or-so-long tour in support of the album.
Opening the night were the Whistle Pigs, a 3-piece from Carbondale, Ill. With a hint of Appalachia sounds and as much energy as a backwoods barbeque, these dudes picked out some fine music. Standing 3 across — with an upright bass, a banjo and an accordion, they played an energetic and relentless mix of originals and old songs. They showed no issue with having fun on stage: laughing and singing and playing with a fair amount of boozin' in between, yet always maintaing a very on-point delivery. This is a band I'll be going to see again.

Concert photos: Old 97′s and Those Darlins at the Pageant, Friday, February 18
Last night the Pageant hosted a thrilling evening of good, ol' fashioned alternative country and rock & roll. Headliners Old 97′s played an extended set to a crowded room full of loyal fans.
Frontman Rhett Miller stood center stage and belted out song after song of heartfelt lyrics, only taking a break to wail and flail around as he strummed on his 6 string. Miller and his band's professionalism on stage, along with their well-crafted tunes, make it easy to understand why these veterans fill venues across the country.
Opening was Nashville-based, 4-piece band Those Darlins. With Jessi, Nikki and Kelley Darlin took charge of the guitar and bass duties, while drummer Linwood Regensburg held it down on the kit. The group played a set that consisted largely of numbers from its upcoming sophomore release, Screws Get Loose. Known for wild, unpredictable shows, Those Darlins kept themselves in order and let their new batch of songs do the rebel rousin'. Look for an album release sometime in March.

Concert photos: Patrick Sweany at Off Broadway, Thursday, February 10
Nashville rhythm and soul man, Patrick Sweany brought his style of rock & roll to Off Broadway last night. Touring in support of his just-released album That Old Southern Drag, Sweany and his band plugged in, turned it up and let loose. With a tight set consisting of foot-stomping tunes, Sweany unleashed his signature sound for the appreciative crowd. With an on-point rhythm section holding it down, the frontman was able to work the stage with a commanding guitar performance accompanied by an equally commanding range of vocals. Playing over an hour's worth of original numbers from his 5 album catalogue, Sweany heated the cold evening in south city.
Opening the evening was St Louis indie folk duo Cassie Morgan and the Lonely Pine, who held the room at a standstill with a beautiful blend of harmonies, precise guitar work and an array of accompanying instruments. St Louis rockers Benjamin Riley Band rounded out the evening, playing an energized set that was highlighted by Riley's unfiltered soulful vocals. From beginning to end, it was a terrific night of live music.

Concert photos: Ben Folds at the Pageant, Sunday, January 30
Running on to the Pageant's stage, recklessly doing laps around the piano and various other instruments, Ben Folds had the crowd and his band jumping (literally) before he even played his first note.
After a lively first minute of welcoming the crowd with waves, poses and other animated hop-skips, Ben sat down at the Baldwin and hammered on the keys with the kind of class and taste that just makes you shake your head in appreciation. But the way he subtly built the energy and intensity of his songs was absolutely impressive. You could tell he was thrilled to be playing to the sold-out room — he was having fun, enjoying the excited energy flowing from the stage to the crowd and back, and it showed each time he did his finger dance across the ivory. Just an awesome performer. The packed house down on Delmar let him know with a booming applause after each song that he and his band are always welcome to come back to St Louis and run and jump around wildly on stage.

Concert photos: Okee Dokee Brothers at Off Broadway, Sunday, January 23
I've seen quite a number of live shows in St. Louis, but Sunday's set by the Okee Dokee Brothers at the KDHX-sponsored Musical Merry-Go-Round matinee sure was a first. Never in my life have I seen the standing area/dance floor at Off Broadway so wound up and unpredictable, but that could be due to the fact that I have never been in a music club full of 3, 4, 5 and 6-year-old children who were absolutely letting loose. It was a wild Sunday afternoon. Kids and adults got down to bluegrass children's tunes, everyone seemed to be participating in call-and-response sing-alongs with the band and a laughing good time was had by many.
These family matinee shows seem like a fine way for music-loving families to spend an hour or so to end the weekend. And if you go to the next show, I hope that you get to see the robot dance moves some of these kids were doing — just awesome.

Concert photos: STL Loud Showcase with Langen Neubacher, Andy Berkhout, the Warbuckles, the Orbz, the Dive Poets and Via Dove at Off Broadway, Friday, January 14
The STL Loud showcase at Off Broadway on Friday night brought 6 bands and songwriters together to give the crowded room an evening filled with a variety of sounds from some of our local talent.
Beginning the evening with a bit more of a mellow vibe, Langen Neubacher played an intimate set of moody folk music, followed by Andy Berkhout, who also displayed his fine song craft laced with harmonies. Both Neubacher and Berkhout were accompanied by a supporting musician, which helped add a layer to the sound, but it was clear that each of them were the backbone of their respective sets.
The Warbuckles changed directions with their upbeat get down sound, and the audience followed suit, as evidenced by the dancing concert-goers in the front of the stage. The Orbz were next and held the amplified energy, yet added a bit of intensity to the room with their rockin' style; they put it in the red and let loose from the beginning to the end of their set.
The night's highlight had to be the Dive Poets, whose brand of rock & roll seems to bounce of the walls, underneath your feet and then smacks you on the back until you're pushed to the stage. The crowd sang and danced, and the entire joint was having a good time.
Via Dove rounded out the night with a highly energetic set. Never a dull moment when these fellas take the stage. They turned it up, rocked out and topped off an excellent event featuring local St Louis music.

If I were to love you, I'd love you whole heartedly. If I were to hate you, I'd hate you twice as much. Don't bring pain into my life. All I am asking for is love. And that's all I really need…
I have been pretty busy with uni, work and whatnot that I have totally forgotten about my Tumblr and followers! My apologies.
Life since the start of university has really been a big blur ball for me. Time seems to go by so quickly and assignments are thrown at your face from every direction! I have about 2-3 cups of coffee a day and my sleeping pattern is pretty much fucked up. I sleep at 2 and wake up at about 7. Only on the weekends is when I can sleep in but I still have to wake up at about 12 so I can finish my assignment and start on a new one.
I rarely get the opportunity to hang out with my friends or see my lover now. And come to think of it, it has been a while since I actually sat down and have conversation with my Mama Bear and Papa Bear!
I've also joined an Oztag team this semester and by the end of each game I seem to somehow always injure myself. My hip and leg fucked up from last week. The pain on my hip came out of no where and prevented me from sleeping that night. I got so teary from the sharp pain stabbing into my hip that I couldn't sleep til' 3 in the morning. When I woke up the next day, the pain had gotten worse and I had to soldier on to uni from 9 to 6.
Well, that's a little update of my life. At the moment I should be doing my assignment but I decided to take a rest from it seeing as I've been at it since 3.
Hope everyone is well.

MotoGP world championship leader Jorge Lorenzo says he is sad and surprised that Yamaha team-mate Ben Spies will leave the Japanese factory at the end of 2012.
The Texan dropped a bombshell on the eve of his home race at Laguna Seca last weekend by announcing that he will leave Yamaha's factory squad after a disappointing campaign.

Spot on Cosher.
Moto GP although it as been a little dull at times since the introduction of the 800's I totally agree that there will be a significant number of exciting riders joining the elite class in the next few years and it will improve and it will continue as always.
There may be a significant number waiting to move up, but there aren't a significant number of decent bikes waiting for them when they get there, so what are they going to ride when the four decent seats are already taken. CRT bikes that are barely any quicker then the lead Moto2 bikes at some circuits and in some cases a fair bit slower?
I'd say it's pretty well on the way to being screwed.

Guys, this will be a short one and I apologize in advance. I've seen a lot of backroads in our fair city the past two days, but I'm in a much better situation than others.
I hope 'yall made i through the storms OK (and forgive for saying y'all).
For a year, Miami had to hear about how Georgia Tech took it to the woodshed last year in front of a national television audience.
The Hurricanes players referenced that after returning the favor to the Yellow Jackets last week.
Well, this is the week for Tech to return the favor to North Carolina.
The Jackets did lose to the Tar Heels last year, even though they outgained them in yards. Turnovers, alas, didn't help.
When asked today if he wanted to beat UNC, coach Paul Johnson said yes, without hesitation.
He then pointed out that he's sure North Carolina and its fans want to win, as well.
Is this a game that you have had circled on the calendar?
September 23rd, 2009

We want to win every game. We don't want to loose two games in a row. Based on recruiting, UNC is stocked and should be favored. It's hard to call a game in which your the underdog a "statement game" though. I don't care who is ranked where. Look at the recruiting for both schools the past four years and you'll see who the underdog team is. We do play better as the underdog, so hopefully we can get back to fighting hard like one.
September 23rd, 2009

People like to disrespect UNC. I believe that is due in much part to jealousy. UNC is pictured as elitist, just as is UVa, and it is next to impossible to get in those schools from out-of-state. That said, UNC is developing a top-ten program, and may be there by the end of the season, if they handle business against Tech, Miami, FlState, VaTech, and NCState. Beating all 5 of those teams would be a daunting test for America's best team. Uf UNC wins three, then win a bowl game, it would likely end the season in the top ten. This is not a pipe dream – they have exceptional talent and speed. Enter your comments here

It got circled after that embarrassment last week when CPJ's offense got "figured out" again.
Just an aside: There is no offense that can be successful if the opposing defensive line is consistently ineffectively blocked. The pro set, spread, "I", etc are all equally dependent on good blocking up front.
One more aside: I enjoyed the win in Athens last year also but 45-42 is a 3 point win LAST YEAR. It was also ONE in a row. That win does not difine this team. What gets done on the field from here on does.

I think GT is favored by 3, not the underdog. I could be wrong. I think Tech wins a close one but won't be surprised if UNC dominates the line of scrimmage.
D has to play better. The new alignment might help but the UNC QB can pass and is almost as accurate as Cox. The undersized d line is still an issue for Tech pressuring the passer. Morgan needs a lights out game.
I think the home crowd will help and if folks remember, Tech did get yards last year, just not many points.
September 23rd, 2009
12:15 pm
hey DawginLex,
Thanks for your real analysis of GT. Good luck to your Dawgs!
September 23rd, 2009
12:16 pm
They need to come out with some fire under their rear hind parts. This is a statement game because of the way we got beat last week. To drop two in a row is never a good thing.
I agree with the blocking up front. It starts there but everyone has to block for this to work. I don't know why we have so many missed assignments but against Miami people were running and missing blocks left and right…front line and A backs and receivers.
We need a good win and a good running game against a team with a good run defense. I just hope that the players want to win. Without desire or ambition it is useless to think you are going to be able to compete with some one with it.
I just want to see an all around good effort from the offense and defense. Win the line of scrimmage and win the game.
Go Jackets!
September 23rd, 2009
12:17 pm
We HAVE to get this game. We have to get our balance back and get back on track, especially in our Coastal games. I just worry about the condition of Grant Field after all the rain…will footing be good enough for the kind of cuts required for the option?

I liked CPJ's comments regarding his offense and how there is nothing wrong with it and the last 2 games prove it – he said look at what Clemson did to BC, holding them to 54 yards total offense and 4 first downs, while Tech had 408 yards in total offense against Clemson, so Tech must be doing something right.
Well, as most of us know, statistics are for losers and can be manipulated to say whatever it is you need to say. Such as, "we had 408 yards so we must be doing OK" – well, yes and no – IF you take away the 2nd play of the game (87 yard TD run), the 40 yard "trick play" on the fake field goal) and the 39 yard pass to BayBay to set up the winning field goal, that leaves only 242 yards of total offense – not exactly numbers related to a stellar offensive attack – but, alas, you cannot take those three plays away so CPJ is absolutely right. RIIGGHHTT!

I hope tech can get it together,because it will help the dawgs come nov.I said that if techs O can score points they have a chance.gt D is not very good and will be the factor for your W-L column.good luck

I think it is a VERY bad sign when you have to change your defensive scheme after 3 games. Wasn't the 4-2-5 the defense the Jackets worked on in spring practice, and then for about a month before Jax State? I am trying to be optimistic, but right now we on both sides of the ball. Considering the high expectations we had coming into this season, I fear a bad loss on Saturday could put this season into a spin. Somebody on the team has to step up a la Tashard Choice and be a leader, or this could get ugly…that being said…I'll be in the West stands on Saturday cheering my lungs out!
September 23rd, 2009
12:36 pm
I think we are in for a great game on Saturday. The Heels defense is the best they've had in over a decade. While Tech may have outgained them last year it was mostly between the 20 yard lines. This is a statement game for both programs. The Heels have a great chance to head into Blacksburg 6-0 if they can get by the Jackets. Looking forward to gametime!
September 23rd, 2009
12:37 pm
…also, thanks for the outbreak of civility from the Dog fans on our blog…you gentlemen sound like true football fans.
September 23rd, 2009

^^Correction. The Heels would have to beat FSU at home first (tough task) then they would head into Blacksburg 7-0.
September 23rd, 2009

Does the defensive change mean we will see more of Julian Burnett?
September 23rd, 2009
1:00 pm
Georgia Tech made a statement against Miami. They said, "We are not ready for prime time or any kind of championship". The defense and the offense both sucked on national TV. That was a big step backward for the program. A season of great anticipation has once again become gloom and doom with the potential of total disaster. I hope they will man up against UNC and get back on the right track. But, the bottom line is only the players can decide to be winners or looser. Those of us who have been Tech fans through thick and thin (and there has been more thin than thick) will still stick with them. THWG!!!!
September 23rd, 2009
1:10 pm
do you realize that you just made the dumbest post in history. We had 408 yards but if you take away all our yards we would have had zero? And we scored 30 points but if you take away all our points we would have scored zero? And we won the game but if you take everything away we would have lost?
Congrats on the dumbest post ever.
September 23rd, 2009
1:20 pm
…What is the difference between a 4-3-4 defense and a 4-2-5 defense? Nothing, except you will now call Coop a strong safety instead of a "Wolf" – and CPJ says this is a Big defensive change?
And m – no, you continually maintain the title as the dumbest post ever when you continually bring up "thank god and greyhound" and the ACC won more games vs the SEC" etc, as you continually leave out the results of the bowl games from LAST year. As mentioned previously, statistics continue to be for LOSERS, such as yourself! Even the Tech faithful are tired of your act!!!
September 23rd, 2009

Oh God….thanks for the hearty laugh m! "Personally" would have to make at least a 1000 dumber posts than that to even be in your league when it comes to dumb posts!
Best example I can think of…many to choose from…is the fact that you have ranted for a year now about how Gailey was a WORSE coach than Bill Lewis….now that is dumb!!!!
September 23rd, 2009
1:34 pm
I have wanted another crack at unc real bad since our last game. I continually replay in my head the passing td late in the 4th quarter to nicks when the game was pretty much over. I believe it was a 4th and 1 inside our 35 when they were just running the ball down our throats. The way their oline was playing, they easily could have ran for a first and just chewed clock. That really pissed me off and I am sure it pissed PJ off more. Hopefully we are using that as motivation. Last weeks game however should be motivation enough. I'll be flying in to ATL from NY just to see butch davis get a little taste of his own medicine. At least I hope so. As PJ says good teams don't lose 2 in a row. Should tell us a lot about our team and this season.
Go Jackets

People…it's lose not loose! And loser not looser! Why is this such a problem! And don't tell me it's a typo because I see it 3 or 4 times in one post. Get it right! Damn I'm angry!!
September 23rd, 2009
1:44 pm
We will not be moving a DB to LB just to call it a 4-3. We will have 3 true LBs on the field…hopefully Julian Burnett. That kid has a nose for the ball and loves to hit.
And m, it's getting old. I agree with you on Chan but give it a rest. I have seen some truly dumb posts from you as well (not your alter egos either).
GO JACKETS! Everybody get in your seats on time and be LOUD!!!!!! I think the team needs some love right now.
September 23rd, 2009

Don't know this for a fact but I would venture a guess that the extra person in the middle of the alignment is to stop the run and try to make folks one dimensional.
September 23rd, 2009
1:59 pm
No…this is not a statement game in the way last week was for UM. We had beaten UM 4 straight times and embarassed them on National TV last year. We had beaten UNC for many straight years before last year and it really wasn't so much what UNC did to us as what we did to ourselves.
September 23rd, 2009

"IF you take away the 2nd play of the game (87 yard TD run), the 40 yard "trick play" on the fake field goal) and the 39 yard pass to BayBay to set up the winning field goal, that leaves only 242 yards of total offense"
IF you take away every offensive play we'd have 0 yards.
IF you take away all of our rushing attempts, then we are a passing attack in need of a run game.

What a bunch of goons. The whole "we are the U" crap is so stupid. The "U" is pretty much a 6-7 win team these days. The glory days are gone. I don't believe Warren Sapp or Ray Lewis are suiting up Saturday are they?
You have a young dumb quarterback that decides it's a good idea to publicly say "nobody can stop our offense". Are you kidding me? Can you get any dumber than that? The "U" lost the last three games of last year….all of them. Since then you've beat a marginal Florida State team. All the sudden nobody can stop your offense? Dumb, dumb, dumb thing to say publicly.
And then you're head coach….what a moron. This goofball decides to publicly say "I've let the guys know not to take Georgia Tech lightly". What?????!!!!! Why in the world would Miami of all teams be taking Georgia Tech lightly? Does your coach really need to say that? You've lost the last four straight..and last year was a beating. It's hilarious…and I hope ya'll are taking Georgia Tech "lightly".
Posted by: Optionoffense | September 16, 2009 at 10:16 PM
So Turds Suck-
According to the majority of Miami fans…"we know how to handle the option now". So you're telling me that wonderful coach of yours had no idea last year? Or could it have been that in fact the coaching staff did know how to stop the option…but you're players aren't good enough? It should be the second choice. If your coaching staff didn't know last year how to defend an option offense they shouldn't be coaching college football. You're players aren't good enough. This crap about "now we have some younger, better guys coming in"….what a joke.
Posted by: Optionoffense | September 16, 2009 at 10:42 PM
You "U" fans…are the most obnoxious, delusional, moronic fans I've ever encountered. And I've dealt with plenty of University of Georgia fans over the years.
I'm pretty sure after ya'll lose tomorrow night that 85% of you will go into hiding. The other 15% will be talking about how bad the talent level at the "U" is…how Randy Shannon is a terrible coach (he is actually terrible).
You idiots NEVER say anything of value as to why you feel you can win this game…it's the typical "we are better", "we know how to stop this offense", "you can't stop Jacory"…..crap an eight year old could come up with.
Posted by: Optionoffense | September 16, 2009 at 11:04 PM
LOL….yes, I noticed you have two new coordinators…and both have such strong resumes. Whipple was let go by Pittsburgh after the 2006 season…was out of football for '07…then spent one year at Philly as an offensive "assistant"…not coordinator. Well, butter my biscuit, he's qualified than for the UM job.
Your wonderful defensive coordinator you talk about that shut down Tech last year at UNC was the SPECIAL TEAMS COACH….he then "helped" on defense. He was not involved in defensive game planning, he was given the more important job of making sure PAT's were crisp and guys were staying in thier lanes on kickoffs. Again, qualified enough for UM.
So bases on those factors alone..why heII yes I can see why you suddenly think things are going to be different.

Sorry but if you think the only difference in a 4-2-5 and 4-3-4 defense is changing the name of one player, that has to qualify as one of the dumber posts around. If thats all you know about football then maybe you should just stick to watching highlights on ESPN.

This is a statement game especially for Coach PCJ. He has set some very high expectations when he said that this year's team vs last year's is like night and day. Hearing that, people were expecting a unbeaten season, a coastal title and a BCS bowl game.So after a 2 so-so and a 3rd game in which we were totally embarrassed, this has to be a Statement game (for PCJ and Wommack). The team was poorly prepared for the Miami game and showed an incapacity to make any adjustment during the game. Yes, this is a statement game for PCJ and Wommack!!!

…you do not understand football if you think there is any difference in a 4/2/5 vs a 4/3/4 – you bring in a "real" linebacker and remove the "WOLF", which is what I said, and voila', you are now a 4-3, with COOP now at strong safety instead of a "hybrid" linebacker.

Does not make a hill of beans what offense or defense you are running.
If the other team blocks & tackles better than you, you lose the game.
If the other team has better players than you, you lose.

To translate NO George's comment – we take a guy from the defensive backfield and stick him in the middle to cut down on the run, this will in effect challenge the QB to beat you with the pass.

No, George P…
"…you are now a 4-3, with COOP now at strong safety instead of a "hybrid" linebacker."
You need to go back & look at the tapes of the games. You will find that "COOP" has spent most of his game time at safety. Reese, #26, has gotten most of the play at "WOLF".
Tech ran this a lot last year. It is nothing new. What's new is having a name for it. Go back & look at last years tapes.
And it is not a new defense. Tech ran it when Pepper Rodgers was coach.
In fact, Pepper went out & recruited a 180 lb high school LB with 4.4 speed to play the position. He played it for 4 years. UCLA ran it under Tommy Prothro, which is where Pepper probably learned it.
And why are you guys not complaining about Burnett being a ROVER instead of a safety? Don't we need two safeties? Everybody else has two.

I admit I don't understand the real differences in defensive responsibilities between a 4-2-5 Wolf and a standard 4-3-4.
What I do understand is that apparently there's something about the 4-2-5 Wolf that these guys don't get or can't handle, and there's something about the 4-3-4 that they can handle.
I suspect most of the players were raised in a 4-3-4 defense, so maybe that's it.

nter your comments here Doug,
The game against UNC begins at 12:00p.m. not 1:00p.m. as you indicated in one of your articles. We have a hard enough time getting our fans there for the kickoff without misinformation being printed. Thanks.

I'm so amazed at all of the UGA fans on our blog talking trash when UGA has a MOUNTAIN of problems of their own on both sides of the ball
Here is a sobering fact for the nonsensical dawgs fans…..you could easily be 5-3 on Oct 31 and that's IF you beat Kiffin in Knoxville – you will almost certainly be underdogs at home against LSU and you WILL be underdogs against UF
I'm not one of those GT fans that bashes UGA (I actually pull for you guys until the last week of Nov), but come on, you guys have your own troubles to worry about, leave GT's alone

Tech vs Carolina? whichever tuns the ball over the least wins. Don't see either team making a statement though. Tech will have had 8 days off to pratice and homefield should make them a few points better.

TechFanInMacon- Thanks for the link. That was a good read. I taught Julian in middle school and I'm glad he's a Jacket. He definitely has a linebacker's mentality.

Players brace for Melbourne scorcher
Serena Williams, pictured at the Brisbane International on January 3, 2014, says she will cope with the hot days at the Australian Open
Temperatures are forecast to reach 42 Celsius (107 Fahrenheit) on Tuesday and remain around those levels until a cooler change next weekend.
The Australian Open has an Extreme Heat Policy, introduced in 1998, involving a complex calculation of air temperature, humidity, wind and medical advice, and enforced at the discretion of referees.
It has only occasionally been invoked, with play halted or the roof on the main stadiums closed and air conditioning turned on. But the conditions have to be severe.
Players, many of whom have experienced Melbourne's extreme summers, will be given ice vests and packs, while a good number arrived in Melbourne early to acclimatise.
However, world number three Maria Sharapova warned: "I don't think anyone can prepare themselves for that type of heat.
"I think it's tough to train on a very high level in that type of heat.
"When you try to put in that effort, that maximum effort to give as an athlete, it's pretty difficult for a longer period of time."
Sharapova remains rueful about her 2007 three-setter played in searing heat against France's Camille Pin, after which she called the conditions "inhuman".
"How could I forget," she said, when asked about that match. "I didn't feel too good after."
She added: "You're not really thinking about tennis, you're trying to really keep your mind focused on maybe keeping the points a little bit shorter.
"Obviously, the longer they go, the worse it is for both of you out there."
Novak Djokovic has also been through the grinder in Melbourne, retiring in the 2009 quarter-finals against Andy Roddick due to heat exhaustion when defending his title.
"I know how tough it is. But it's the same for myself and my opponent so you have to adjust to it," he said.
World number one Serena Williams, aiming to match Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova with 18 Grand Slam titles, is not looking forward to the hot days, but said she could cope.
"I've been training my whole life in the heat. I think I'm pretty used to it," said the Florida-based American.
"I mean, obviously the heat in Melbourne is just completely different than any other heat.
"But it's okay. I just got to be ready to play under any circumstances."
Andy Murray, returning from back surgery, is another who trained in Florida during the off-season, but he said Australian conditions were a different matter.
"I mean, it helps," said the Scot. "But the difference between 32 degrees or whatever in Florida and 40, it's a huge difference.
"It feels very different on the court. The court gets so hot, the air is extremely hot as well."
Not everyone is perturbed, with defending women's champion Victoria Azarenka saying she was even looking forward to the extreme conditions.
"I've been here playing for, what, last eight years. It's not a new thing to play in the heat. I actually enjoy that," she said.
"I mean, not all the time probably, but it's nice to get some sun."
The hottest Australian Open on record was in 2009 when the average daily temperature was 34.7 Celsius.

It's a common complaint that plastic surgeons hear about often. Many patients are looking to get rid of the dreaded "turkey neck", that sagging skin under the chin.
Dr. Haresh Yalamanchili with Belage Center for Facial Plastic Surgery uses a device that helps relieve the problem without surgery. Dr. Yalamanchili describes a "falling neck" as a gravity issue.
"The muscles and skin start sagging. Historically, you could only treat that with surgery, but three years ago, the company Ulthera came up with Ultherapy. It's a medical ultrasound to visualize those deeper structures to heat it up and tighten it over time. The results take three to four months," says Dr. Yalamanchili. He says it's not going to replace surgery, but for a mild issue, he says it works quite well. He says it costs between $1,500-$4,500, depending on the area and severity of the problem. Dr. Yalamanchili says the results last several years.
Dr. Yalamanchili says it can do more than just life the neck. He says it also lifts the brow line to reduce droopiness on the eyelids, smoothes crows' feet, and gives a more open, refreshed look to the eyes. He says sagging skin on the cheeks can also be tightened and lifted, which improves: folds from the nose to the mouth, folds from the mouth to the jaw, and drooping corners of the mouth. Dr. Yalamanchili's web site states that additional benefits of Ultherapy include a more defined jaw line and neck, overall improvement in skin texture, and evenness of skin tone.
As for risks, we're told the most common things that can happen are mild bruising and swelling after the treatment.

What's green and the best choice low cost cialis white and gets 120 mpg? The answer is the new Loremo, an upcoming compact ultra-efficient green vehicle, from the identically-named start up.
Some are critical of the Loremo's looks, but its streamlined design allows it to deliver unmatched aerodynamic performance and enables it to get extremely high fuel economy. The car is painted a stock cool white color, with a lime green also available.
Since 2000, Loremo has been hard at working cooking up the car, but it still has yet to produce an electric vehicle. However, according to Loremo all three of its powertrains should be finished this year, allowing the levitra best price first prototypes to soon be produced. With Loremo saying that its liquid-fuel engine technology is canadian healthcare cialis mature enough, this means only the chassis, interior and shell work will remain.
The Loremo will be available in three variants, all of which the company says are progressing well. The first is a base Loremo, which will get 120 MPG on a 700 ccm diesel engine featuring turbo charging, inter-cooling and exhaust gas recycling. The gas mileage target was cut slightly from the original mark of operacijatrijumf.net 157 mpg, but it should still be sufficient to buy viagra online in the uk win the Auto X Prize.
The second model is the Loremo GT, which not only brings sportier performance with a 850 ccm engine, but also will allow the car to run on liquefied natural gas (LNG) or pressurized natural gas (PNG).
The final model is the Loremo EV, Loremo's take on an ultra-efficient electric vehicle. This variant is perhaps the closest to production as test runs have been started and it has been certified of road-worthiness. Public tests of the Loremo EV should begin in March.
Things are looking good for Loremo possibly meeting its target launch date of 2009, or a just-slightly-delayed launch in early 2010. The vehicle is still expected to save you some green as well, debuting at the wallet-friendly price of 15,000 euros ($22,500) for the only now best way to use cialis basic model, or 20,000 euros ($30,000) for the GT.

But the statement "unmatched aerodynamic performance" begs a comparison with the Aptera. I doubt any car coming online will beat the Aptera. Still, it is probably great compared to the viagra order mail usual cars we see.
I like the price. where did this company come from? Any background?

How Can I Bring Life To My New Rental?
Good Questions
Q: My boyfriend and I just got our first rental apartment together. I love the high ceilings. But my boyfriend's things (DJ Speakers/desk on oposite sides of the couch) are driving me crazy. I need to make something of this. I'm allowed to hang things on the walls, but no painting at all. I've printed some pictures and I was thinking of putting them in colorful frames with diferent sizes. I'm stuck with a navy carpet as well. Can somebody please suggest some cheap decoration tips? I don't mind crafting… I just want some help! Thanks
Editor: Leave your suggestions for Monica in the comments — thanks!
• Got a question? Send us yours with pic attachments here (those with pics get answered first).

I think a colorful rug, pillows and some art on the walls would be a good start.
I'm a plant lover, so I would have that window lined up with various plants in mismatched pots in no time!
Colorful Art is Definitely a good place to start. I would try breaking up some of the black. Maybe a table runner (if that is not too weird) on top of the TV stand to break up the large black area and some coordinating pillows or blanket/throw on the couch. If you are on a budget you could dye the curtains something bold (I'm thinking a bright red to go with the navy that could be pretty regal but I hear Salmon is a nice coordinator with navy these days too. Could also try a monochromatic color scheme like a deep purple or a teal green to go with the blue. Either way if you bring some color in and some art on the walls I bet you feel a lot more at home.
bright color photographs and pillows, new drapes. do something with the flower pot, make something that you would want to look at.
maybe hand a nice wall carpet.
drapes, more plants, a nice rug. i would also personally get some colorful throw pillows or a blanket or something to help lighten up the couch.
Big fab loud curtains! Pick a fun pattern and run with it! A bright throw on the back of one sofa? Could you switch out that dark table for a glass one, or paint it a fun, zesty color? How about hanging a mobile in the corner? As for colors, how about silver or bright green?
And yes - more plants!
also. you could mount the tv to the wall (if you are allowed) and frame it for a more 'put together' look, and maybe find a cheap buffet/dresser on craigslist and fix it up/paint it, take the drawers out, and stick the speakers in there, to make it easier on the eyes.
references to what i'm talking about:
framing the TV - http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/upload/52776626852769509_TflpGyc4_c.jpg, http://media-cache-ec6.pinterest.com/upload/17451517275537430_KEC1wDiS_c.jpg

Art definitely! There's a lot of stuff in your apartment but those bare walls could hold tons of color. There's been some good DIY here lately on making your own patterned wall art.
Black(I assume those sofas are black), navy and white can look very crisp, tidy and a little preppy. White pillows with a black graphic in the sofas, mixed with white with navy border (or similar) pillows, a woven throw in white and two blues, black picture frames with white matting, a crisp white roller shade for the window if you can afford it, a white ceramic tray to hold items on your coffee table, maybe a corner shelf unit in white...would all lighten the mood. The speakers are one of those things that come with boyfriends. Maybe you could fashion or purchase lightweight, open-sided boxes to partially contain them, and cover that with pretty (draped-over) textiles when not in use? Sort of like those MDF table rounds decorator stores sell to be draped with table cloths and used as side tables.
Dump yer man! LOL :)
...kidding, but I once lived with a DJ for 4 years. It was pure madness with all the records and unsightly speaker/ tech stuff. My advice would be to try to organize and disguise as much as possible. Ikea has some great items you can "hack" to store things nice and neat. I recall the Expedit being a god solution to 12"record storage. Plus you can add some decor to the empty cubes.
Here are some other ideas:
Put a floating click together wooden or laminate floor over the carpet. I saw some recently at home depot for less than a dollar a square foot. When you move, take it with you. Then, layer an area rug or colorful Flor tiles on top.
Make friends with spray adhesive and fabric. You can't paint but you can stick fabric on your walls, plain or printed. When you move, pull it off and take it with you. It won't leave any traces.
Find some radiator cover metal stuff with the fancy perforations. Find a small cheap side table. Put the table over the stereo speakers. Put the radiator cover over the legs of the table. You should be able to find something inexpensive at ikea. When you leave the boyfriend, take the tables.
Replace some of those leather monstrosities with upholstered chairs or something more open.
Accentuate the height of the window. Hang canvas drapery panels right up to the ceiling.
Follow everything Rural and Rueful suggested. I Would also suggest getting several low cubes or crates line them up next to each other and place a piece of wood over them so it looks like a low built in storage bench that wraps around from window that lonely plat you have in the corner. Then place the tv and speakers on/in it. good luck
yes to art, curtains, throw pillows, plan ts and a rug. also, paint whatever furniture the tv is sitting on. get some shelves or at least wood crates that those speakers/tv & audio equipment will fit in and paint them too. camouflage one of those sofas with blankets or quilts or colorful throws so they won't look so matchy-matchy and cold - drape one over the back and wrap another around the seat cushions. paint the coffee table - all that furniture is too dark. get the junk out of there (is that luggage in a corner? get rid of it)
I recommend floor to ceiling curtains with a great pattern to really focus on that big window. And an area rug to break up the darkness of all the furniture and carpeting. As everyone else said here, accessorize with pillows and art.
Definitely a colorful rug.That will help a lot. Also, gallery-style for your printed art and pictures would be fun, and definitely include some mirrors to enlarge the space.
I would put temporary wallpaper or DIY removable fabric wallpaper under the chair rail!
What a great space! I don't know your tastes but I might put a chunky shelf in that corner to display books and statues, maybe remove all but a few glass bottles from the window sill. That window is great. Also a colorful throw blanket, and chunky tables and foot rests to make it more cozy and neat. Best wishes, I know new spaces can be challenging.
Also my 2 cents, don't waste your money on cheap pieces. Invest in pieces you love and can keep for life. Personal experience.
I would pick a definite accent color.. you have white, navy and black... how about a butterscotch/gold-yellow? or a nice orange? or lighter blue? get large, patterned floor-to-ceiling curtains with the color you pick.. pillows in the same color... bind up any loose cords from that entertainment center, and maybe mount the tv on the wall if you can.
So what actually happens if they say "no paint" and you paint anyway? (you'd just have to paint it back before you move...) you could PROBABLY get away with breaking up the wall by painting the bottom half with "almost white" pale gray.
it looks dark in there. LAMPS!
large framed posters would look good in there.
and i agree with the person who said plants in the window sill.
and what the heck is that giant black thing in the corner next to the couch? can it go in a closet?!
oh and on second thought, it looks like that room is a little awkwardly situated for the furniture you have. Do you plan on having lots of people over often or could you handle losing either the loveseat or the couch? they look crowded and it looks like the walkway through the room goes right between the tv and the couch.
move the couch up so the walkway goes behind it (hopefully that leaves enough room so you're not like 2 feet from the tv?) and put the loveseat in storage (or mail it to me! lol)
you can get a cool sideboard table or china hutch-style thing to put where the couch is now for books/movies/etc?
I'd definitely lighten up the couches with white throws and get rid of the coffee table or replace it with a glass one. Colorful red and yellow artwork and a colorful rug and pillows. Also, that plant looks so lonely in that corner. Maybe get it some friends. :)
No one has mentioned lighting. The pictures posted only show window light and some sort of out-of-frame overhead light. Get yourself some lamps. A couple of floor ones, maybe a small table ons for the tv stand area, a reading light for the chair by the window. You can add all the color in the world to this room with accessories and surface decor, but no one will see it without proper lighting. Plus, you can always take them with you!
suggestions, try layering with lively elements, stop when it fells like enough
would be friendlier for conversation if the seating faced each other
with a lighter coffee table in between, maybe paint with a "pop" of mustard or eggy yellow?
tall plants in front of that tall window, dramatic needle cactus or norfolk pine or fiddle leaf ? or rubber tree plant depending on the exposure
curtains in a vivid pattern
cozy bright throws on the seating
big art on the walls, paintings, wood blankets, photos, seascape, portraits, whatever you love
Cathryn and some others here have hit the nail on the head. Lighting will do WONDERS for the space. Paint, area rugs, and pillows are expectedly great improvements, as are robust indoor plants. A main point I noticed is how low everything is in your photos - furniture, plant, TV, etc. Low can absolutely be minimalist and beautiful but that line that runs across the room just cuts the space in your home seem smaller than it is. Place that TV higher, bring in taller, mature indoor plants that will break up that line. Utilize the high ceilings you love to hang higher window treatments (artwork should generally be eye level). The sky's the limit!
A flat-weave graphic rug makes an awesome throw for a sofa. Avoid rugs that are too prickly (although I'm using one and I love it, pricks and all). This room cries out for some light. Placing the tv on a Parsons table (West Elm) in a light wood, white enamel, or metal would help to make it look less like a black hole and change the hieght a bit. it looks like the speakers are too close together for good definition, but I can't tell from the photos if there's anyplace else to put them. Rather than many pictures of different sizes, you might think of getting some photos blown up on canvas. There are any number of services that do this; the print wraps around, so no need for framing, which is expensive.
I agree that the seating seems awkward: facing is definitely better if it's possible. If they must be in an L shape, perhaps putting them quite close to each other with a small side table or a basket at one side might work. The coffee table is too small and the rectangular shape seems repetitive. Look for a round or square table to make the space less rigid. I like the Origami table from West Elm.
The curtains should be longer. Curtains are ridiculously easy to make. Ikea has any number of curtains which could be used as well. Or king sheets. The items on the window sill should be grouped more tightly. Or perhaps just put a big healthy plant on the ledge.
The plants look like they need attention: get some larger, healthier ones and don't stick them in a corner like an umbrella stand. Also the
With the black sofa and dark carpet, you have created a black hole. Lighting up the floor space with a light cream rug. Also, balance your room and draw your eye up with thrift store picture frames painted a nice subtle color. A mirror would help out too! http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&sa=X&biw=1920&bih=965&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=RydoVLE8stQtmM:&imgrefurl=http://yourdecoratinghotline.com/style-trends-2011/&docid=oJC10VXx4IuhOM&imgurl=http://yourdecoratinghotline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/access-frame-art-nestingPlace.jpg&w=298&h=450&ei=-s9hUPaDOuvPigKj_oBo&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=675&sig=112413381957045922872&page=2&tbnh=145&tbnw=96&start=51&ndsp=60&ved=1t:429,r:22,s:51,i:307&tx=44&ty=53
Before you go mad on soft furnishings. It may be an idea to stop smoking indoors.
When I first moved into my own place I smoked my head off, it was great. Only when I went to repaint a year later did I notice how disgusting the ceilings etc. were. And how almost all my fabrics reeked of smoke. Haven't smoke inside in the two years since.
Just an FYI... Best of luck with the new place!
A big mirror might be nice on the wall that's 90 degrees to the big window. An artsy homemade simple mobile (thin wire w/ paper parts or plexiglass) would draw your eye up and celebrate the play of light between the two surfaces.
