This was my second stay at Farm Fresh.... always comfortable and i especially appreciate the quiet and solitude. An added plus is that it is an easy jaunt to either Sacramento area or Roseville and the galleria from here. Many thanks.Donna2013-10-08T00:00:00Z
Erica was very friendly, warm and helpful on my arrival. The place was clean and well kept, the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast pastries were an unexpected and welcome treat! Thanks so much. :-)Benny2014-11-03T00:00:00Z
Amazing place to stay. Erica and Pete are the best. The cottage was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. Fresh eggs for breakfast. 5 stars.Peter2014-05-19T00:00:00Z
Very spacious cottage on a beautiful piece of property. The cottage is big enough to house a family of four on vacation comfortably. Very well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches like a binder of information on surrounding areas, a collection of menus from nearby restaurants, snacks in the fridge, coffee makings and directions on how to use the appliances (which saved me a lot of time in the shower not having to figure out cold and hot). Host was very responsive when I needed more toilet paper, other than that I was left alone to enjoy the cottage. Great deal on a really nice place. I am happy with my stay here.Suzanne2014-10-14T00:00:00Z
A sweet little hideaway! The bucolic surroundings are so relaxing--we wish it'd been warm and dry enough to spend more time outside--and, once you fire up the heaters, the apartment itself is super cozy and fit for snuggling. The bed and couch are sooooo comfy, perfect for a lazy weekend. We'll definitely go back when we're in the area again.Vida Mia2012-04-03T00:00:00Z
Communication with the Jeffery's is really easy. You will be greeted with fresh food from the garden. Go for the eggs, they are excellent. Host is super easy to reach out. Home is nice.Guillaume2017-02-05T00:00:00Z
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us! It was exactly the relaxing getaway we'd hoped for. The snacks were mightily enjoyed!Nathaniel2012-07-11T00:00:00Z
Erica did a fantastic job of making this place feel like a second home. Everything is here that you need, and then some. She gave a brief overview of a few of the necessities in the cottage and I got along just fine after that. The juice, yogurt, eggs and fresh pastries were perfect! I stayed 3 nights and didn't get to enjoy the serenity and landscape near as much as I would've liked. This place is a gem and so is the hostess!! I felt very safe, comfortable and at ease. I would highly recommend others explore this as an option while in the area.Haley2015-02-06T00:00:00Z

Fantastic location and lovely accomodation with excellent, helpful host. We would have enjoyed a longer stay.Beth2016-07-08T00:00:00Z
My family (2 adults and 2 young children) had a really great stay at Geraldine's. Everything was as described and her rental was fantastic and relaxing. Even my 6 and 4 year old commented on how "cool" it was. There were hummingbirds every 15 minutes to wonder at, lizards to follow around, and cows to gaze upon ; ) We used the grill to cook chicken and the simple kitchen (hotplate, sink, electric kettle, and all necessary utensils) were just right. The views, the quiet, and the hammock were really appreciated by this mom ! And the location was perfect for treks to Oregon Creek, Collins Lake, and wine tasting. Also, the croissants were the best breakfast treat ; ) So very satisfied with our stay at Geraldine's!Ana2016-08-19T00:00:00Z
A+ Everything was lovely, I really appreciated the warm and delicious hospitality! Great local food and peaceful happy vybes :)Samuel Harkous2016-12-12T00:00:00Z
Geraldine's place offered me a wonderful experience! The apartment exceeded my expectations. It was aesthetic, comfortable, and clean! I planned to leave early, but the morning was so beautiful, I found myself sitting in the patio and enjoying the blooming garden and the landscape. Geraldine made me feel very welcome, with warm hospitality and respect for my privacy. Next time I will plan a longer stay!Ruth2016-04-03T00:00:00Z
My husband and I arrived on a Friday evening and stayed until late Sunday morning, and loved every moment. It was a perfect kid-free weekend getaway. The home was beautiful and the view was amazing. The photos don't do it justice. Everything was immaculate, including the perfectly landscaped yard. Geraldine truly made our stay absolutely wonderful! She was very responsive to every need and super helpful. She even brought us a bowl of nectarines from a nearby orchard and some fresh local milk! And those croissants - oh my god. They were amazing. We both had the chocolate. :) The home is exactly as described - a studio attached to the main home. Even though she lives in the same building, you would never know it. You have your own space, your own entrance and your own patio to lounge in. It's just perfect. Thank you again Geraldine for an amazing stay!!Rachael2016-08-01T00:00:00Z
Geraldine was a great host! My girlfriend and I had a late check in and Geraldine had no problem with that (sorry for waking you up Geraladine). The place looked exactly like the pictures and is the perfect place if you want to experience a relaxing getaway. I'd recommend this place to anyone and will definitely come back again.Jimmy2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
Geraldine's cottage was a perfect place for respite and serenity in the Sierra foothills. The atmosphere, as well as the amenities in the cottage make it a place to feel the silence of nature, with the comfort of home. Geraldine was a generous resource regarding the local cuisine and gastronomic delights... And as a result, I feasted on local fare, upon arriving at the cottage. I highly recommend This space to anyone visiting the region, and beyond.Dorel2016-01-25T00:00:00Z
Terrific stay. Geraldine was very welcoming and accommodating. Very quiet and comfortable room. Had everything I needed. WiFi was very good. Hosted a Zoom meeting while I was there. No cell signal, but it was okay when I connected my phone to WiFi. Will stay here again.David2016-02-25T00:00:00Z

A fantastic retreat with beautiful natural light. Jo Anna and Mark provided the most delightful homemade treats!Dena2016-06-22T00:00:00Z
We pulled in after a long, sun-drenched day on the Yuba. Luke, their cute, energetic, and obedient dog greeted us with immediately, letting us know we were home. The red, purple hues of the setting sun on the forested hills in the distance helped calm our achy muscles and put us in a deep relaxed state, far away from the daily grind we were escaping for the night. The warmth of Mark and Jo Anna are unmatched. Fresh milk and warm bread and muffins!? We were in heaven! Their home and cottage are off the beaten path and a sanctuary, easy to settle in and recharge.Reed2016-08-02T00:00:00Z
This beautiful cottage will give you a real sense of serenity as you relax and enjoy the beauty that is calififorna. You have an amazing view from your porch and so close to so many wonderful nature sites to keep you busy if you wish. Mark and Jo Anna are wonderful and accomodating hosts...you can see it in many personal touches from fresh cut flowers, homemade bread and muffins and milk from local farm. You have all the basics for cooking and a full kitchen which Is important to me since I love to cook. We couldn't have asked for anything more and definitely will come again. Highly recommend!Janelle2016-11-16T00:00:00Z
Had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. Everything was perfect, especially the muffins & fresh bread in the morning. Will definitely stay here again!Rita2016-05-28T00:00:00Z
JoAnna and Mark were wonderful hosts, friendly and helpful. Our first morning there, Joanna brought us wonderful fresh muffins and a loaf of bread, as well as a large jar of fresh milk. The place was comfortable and cozy for the three of us. Our daughter loved the loft, and the bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. The bluebirds, wild geese and night stars were a welcome replacement for plane noise and chem trails that we see at home. This was a very peaceful place, perfect for our week long vacation.Joan2016-04-11T00:00:00Z
Beautiful location, great for a relaxing weekend. Very sweet dog to play fetch with. Jo Anna and Mark were very gracious hosts.Cullen2017-01-03T00:00:00Z
The cottage felt like a fairy tale. It is nestled on a beautiful property and Mark and Jo Anna were the perfect hosts- friendly and accommodating but not intrusive. They even made us granola for breakfast! This is a magical little retreat and a very quiet place to reset.Tobey2016-05-10T00:00:00Z
Cottage is charmingly cozy. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying quiet Sierra Nevada like living. Jo Anna made us fresh bread, muffins, oatmeal and brought milk straight from a cow. A very nice getaway from the city.Joseph2017-01-08T00:00:00Z

Barbara's place is Rural Solitude, in the best sense of the phrase. It is in a fairly remote section of the state, but it is a truly quiet restful place, with good access to all things outdoors. It was immaculately clean, roomy, and came with amenities one could expect at twice the price. Barbara is a warm, welcoming host who made us feel comfortable, and provided us with recommendations for some excellent and inexpensive local food. A truly spectacular Airbnb experience, especially for the price.Tyler2015-08-02T00:00:00Z
I was very pleased with my first AirBnB experience. Barbara is an excellent host and the location was very nice and a quiet setting located among the nice pines. Will definitely stay here gain and would recommend it to my friends. Nice bed and facilities.Richard2016-04-16T00:00:00Z
Barbara was a great host. We very much enjoyed our stay, and she kindly provided us with directions, and a nice handwritten guide to various stops in the area. Her recommendations were excellent. The house and room were very nice clean.Philip2015-05-26T00:00:00Z
Barbara went out of her way to help us find her remote property, especially needed in light of the fact that we arrived after dark, and couldn't get phone service in her area. Once we found her place we were welcomed, offered glasses of wine, allowed to use the kitchen, and then invited to join her in the dining room for conversation. We slept comfortably on her futon. This is just as advertised: "A beautiful home in rural area. Great for doing nothing." I found it hard to leave!Cynthia2015-04-29T00:00:00Z
We loved staying at Barbara's house! The rural area is beautiful, with many birds. Barbara was super friendly, and even made us delicious oatmeal. She had lots of great recommendations for local activities.Stephen2015-10-13T00:00:00Z
John and Barbara welcomed us warmly on our arrival, showed us around the house, and made us comfortable. The listing of the place was completely accurate, describing the available accommodations precisely. The home was beautiful and comfortable, and the neighborhood was quiet and full of natural beauty. They told us about the attractions in the area, where to dine, and what to see. They made it easy for us to come and go, and sent us off with hugs and waves. We had a lovely time.Henry2015-09-21T00:00:00Z
We were welcome into their house and made to feel right at home. The host allowed us to be as social or private as we wanted, I really liked that. It really felt like a home away from home, we could come and go as we pleased. We got to stay in a very comfortable room in this gorgeous house for a great price with incredible scenery. I don't know how it could have been any better. We made some good friends, and some great memories, I won't ever forget this experience.Laura 2015-06-14T00:00:00Z
Barbara and her roomie John are super pleasant folks very laid back and easy going. I enjoyed full kitchen access for prepping meals, walks along the gravel road leading to their home and hiking trips to the reservoir, park trails and local grocery. Overall a memorable few days in the back country of California.Gene2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

This was a wonderful place to hideaway. Beautiful location and lovely people.riehm2017-03-08T00:00:00Z
Joerg and Nancy were great hosts, friendly accommodating, and very responsive to messages and questions we had. Their dog Heidi, a German Shepherd was very friendly and welcomed us as well by wagging her tale. The beautiful newly build cottage is very specious and the 3 of us fit comfortably. It was very clean and quiet. They also provided all the basic necessities in the bathroom and kitchen along with water, a bottle of wine, beer, pasta, snacks and delicious almond cookies which we really appreciated! This place is very quiet and away from the streets. It is just a short drive to the Yuba River. During the night you can see the Milky Way Galaxy and giant stars that illuminate the sky. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Joerg's place!Claudia2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
Joerg's place is a great spot to getaway and live in a quiet environment. We enjoyed our stay but we recommend people bring food / snacks due to the lack of places to eat around the area.Matthew2017-02-17T00:00:00Z
Joerg met us as we arrived and helped us find a suitable place to park our boat on the property. He then made sure that our bedding was taken care of. Joerg left us a bottle of wine in the refrigerator and made us feel at home. Joerg is a super friendly man and a pleasure to speak with.Harry 2016-11-15T00:00:00Z
Joerg is a kind and knowledgeable host who made me feel at home since the moment we first talked. His place exceeded my expectations beyond the photos and description. He is very practical and down to earth with excellent advise for things to do in the area. The arrival and overall experience went smooth as Joerg was very available and helpful. I am lucky to have found his place and will definitely come back soon. Strongly recommended!Alain2016-09-02T00:00:00Z

I enjoyed the wonderful scenery of the area. The weather was changing during my stay, the wild flowers were blooming and the grass was green. Very beautiful area. I also enjoyed, the near by lakes.riehm2017-05-20T00:00:00Z
Great place, great people! The apartment was really nice, large and high quality, with everything we needed. Bathtub, good heating, good internet. The owners were great, we had some fun. I'll be back in spring with my family for two weeks. Thanks guys!!Gabriel2017-02-22T00:00:00Z

Tara was great at communicating with us and making things clear and simple. We immediately felt welcome and relaxed.Kimberley2015-09-05T00:00:00Z
Communication with Tara was easy and fast as light. Her property is absolutely beautiful. We had an amazing time. Definitely recommended!Aaron2015-08-27T00:00:00Z
The cottage was a fantastic place to stay for two nights, and we wished we could have stayed longer. We would definitely visit again. The cottage was comfortable, the location quiet and pleasant, and near many things: hiking, swimming, nice places to eat and drink. Tara was always helpful and informative on email, and pleasure to talk to in person.Mark2015-06-29T00:00:00Z
Tara responded quickly to my last minute request & was great at communicating the whole time. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL & just as pictured. I was grateful to see so much Fall tree action- big difference from Oakland. The binder with tips & pamphlets on local food, massage, yoga etc is super helpful and if we had more time we would've certainly used a few more of her suggestions besides food. The kleenex, shampoo/soap essentials are excellent eco friendly & in fact what I use at home, which I find to be a nice touch (oh and the coffee in the room was also top notch). The cottage itself is immaculately clean, cozy & comfortable on all levels. The whole place has a great energy and felt open & peaceful. She runs a horse sanctuary as well, so if you need to commune with gentle beings and enjoy nature I highly recommend. We're grateful to Tara for having such a special place. I wish her as many respectful visitors as she needs. Nevada City is a fun & cute tiny little old timey town.Crystal2016-11-05T00:00:00Z
The cottage and surroundings are beyond beautiful! Tara is thoughtful, generous, and super friendly. The cottage is the epitome of calm and relaxation and has the perfect surroundings for amazing experiences. Looking forward to visiting again in the future! Must stay for anyone visiting the area!Christina2016-10-08T00:00:00Z
A magical place to get away from the chaos of the world. The host respected our privacy, but was still available if we needed. The energy of this place feels very loving and welcoming. We plan on visiting again in the future. Beautiful horses and trees. And even though we didn't swim in the saltwater pool, it was a nice feature. There's also a fun horseshoe game you can play if you want, and a swing near the pond. I'd highly recommend this place. It's a warm, cozy home where you can feel relaxed and safe.Katie2015-05-17T00:00:00Z
We really enjoyed our brief stay at Tara's sweet cottage. It felt spacious and comfortable, and was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The pastoral setting is lovely and peaceful. We didn't get a chance to check out the pool, or the horses, but will certainly do that on our next visit. Tara was very welcoming and friendly, as was her beautiful dog, Leilani.Dustin2015-05-16T00:00:00Z
This was our third stay in Tara's cottage, and it was wonderful, as usual. The cottage is really comfortable and well-appointed, and we love the serene setting. Tara has been so responsive to little suggestions that we have made, and even bigger suggestions like adding a screen door. I'm sure we will be back again when we return to the area.Dustin2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

Elisabetta and Julian were great hosts. Very kind and always offering what they could do to make my stay more enjoyable. Their cottage is beautifully decorated and they have done a great job optimizing the space to include everything you would need, yet feel spacious for a small cottage. The grounds are landscaped beautifully and the enclosed yard is great for relaxing. Oregon House is a quiet area, which is perfect for a little R&R. Great hiking and lakes nearby. Loved seeing the deer frolic in morning while walking to my car. Great place to stay and would recommend fully!Tanya2017-05-21T00:00:00Z
If you're looking for a secluded private vacation for two this is perfect spot. My fiance and I were celebrating our anniversary and it couldn't have been better. Elisabetta and Julian greeted us with a lovely card & sparkling wine. In the morning offered us complementary authentic cappuccino when we bought their delicious homemade croissants. They even brought us a beautiful orchid. Elisabetta made us reservations for our anniversary dinner at the local restaurant (do order their spinach ravioli- best I've ever had) The bed was very comfortable and firm (just how we like it). The cottage itself is small, secluded and peaceful, just what we were looking for. You can tell Elisabetta has great taste in decoration too. The kitchenette is small but fully equipped to make quick meals such as scrambled eggs. But the best part is how attentive the hosts are. They will make you feel welcome and provide for anything you might need. 100% recommend any couple staying here.Francisco2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
The photos really do not do Elisabetta and Julian's cottage justice. The space is small but well-appointed and furnished with a great sense of style and attention to comfort — everything has its place and you can tell Elisabetta and Julian took great care in making it a homey space for guests. We only had a short stay and didn't spend much time at the cottage as we were visiting family nearby but we found the space very warm, cozy, and private. The outdoor patio is nice and you have your own separate enclosed yard. We wished we had more time to enjoy the hammock! As for the hosts, we cannot rate them more highly. They were incredibly kind and accommodating, communicative, and very flexible and understanding when we had to arrive late. When we arrived (after following their very helpful, detailed directions), they welcomed us to the cottage and made us feel right at home. After our long, weary journey, it was so nice to step into their peaceful rural oasis, already pre-warmed and made up for us. I highly recommend them as hosts!Alissa2016-10-08T00:00:00Z
Love the bamboo cottage - this place was just as described, plus some. The hosts are genuinely concerned with the guests comfort. If you happen to be crossing through Oregon House, CA, this place is suggested 100%. Good for a quiet get away in the woods. Host treats hospitality as if it were an art! Three thumbs upSthr2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
Really nice, quiet and private get away. Really enjoyed the spaced.riehm2017-03-30T00:00:00Z
Very smooth and comfortable experience, Elisabetta stayed up quite late to accommodate an unexpectedly late check in. House had everything I needed, and I had plenty of peace and quiet to get some work done. Lovely remote surroundings.Vladimir2017-04-07T00:00:00Z
Elisabetta and Julian were absolutely wonderful Airbnb hosts! They were incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about the area. We were in town just to explore a new part of Northern California and Oregon House was the perfect place to visit. There were beautiful hikes, Cafe Collage (a great local restaurant), and nearby towns like Nevada City. The Bamboo Cottage was such a relaxing place to stay, it was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. I highly recommend staying at the Bamboo Cottage!Holly2017-01-08T00:00:00Z
I came to Elisabetta and Julian's little studio cottage for a quick "personal retreat" and it was the perfect place for that. The cozy interior is lovingly decorated, with sweet touches such as little Asian chimes and baskets of contemplative books. The property is in a pretty and peaceful rural area, where deep quiet was interrupted only by bird song and wind through the trees. The private yard was even nicer than the photos, the hammock an amazing place to rest. The delicious restaurant Cafe Collage is within walking distance (under a mile), where I had an incredible dinner. Overall a great experience, lovely hosts and a very sweet retreat. Thanks Elisabetta and Julian!Erika & Dave2016-10-24T00:00:00Z

As frequent airbnb customers, this was most comfortable place for us, the place we felt most at home. Truly home away from home. Clean, spacious, recreational, relaxing views. Extremely well-provisioned kitchen with a full array of breakfast and snack foods. The minute we walked in, we were welcomed by a smell of home-baked cookies! What a cozy, comfortable cabin suite! Full entertainment options like Netflix, etc. We couldn't ask for more from the place or from Mary, who is friendly and most accommodating.Unhae2017-04-15T00:00:00Z
We had a delightful stay at 3 Ponds. The accommodations are as comfortable as one could want, private, and include all the pleasures of a rural retreat anyone might enjoy.

This has been one of my favorite Airbnb stays to date. We only really got to enjoy it for a day, but it was absolutely well worth the trip. This Airbnb is well stocked with everything you could imagine. It is as if our lovely host MJ, knows what she would want to have access to if she was traveling. MJ was so helpful with recommendations on where to visit and knowing local events going on in the area. If you want to have all the comforts of home while getting some fresh air, surrounded by rolling hills, wildlife, and a stunning night sky in the evening, this is your place.Xan2016-12-05T00:00:00Z

Geraldine, Colette's house manager, is delightful and so helpful. Having stayed here before I didn't think it could get any better. The only difference was a longer stay this time, which simply made the place better. The area is full of low key, simple pleasures, far from any 'nightlife' which is just what we were looking for. Another lovely visit!Kristin2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
We know Colette and had been to the house before. We love it! We wanted to come to the area for a job to do a small decorative mural and we were glad to be able to rent her house. It was like being on vacation while working. It is so pristine and beautiful and we also enjoyed the privacy. Thank you again dear friend, MiguelMiguel2016-04-26T00:00:00Z
Colette was extremely gracious as we prepared for (and during) our stay in her gorgeous mountain retreat! The house was lovely, well-equipped, very comfortable, and just what we were looking for.Antoinette2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
Wonderful house, Colette met us & showed us around her beautiful home. Very relaxing place just loved sitting on the terrace soaking up the view and sun. The kitchen was so well equipped it was easy to cook delicious food to enjoy eating outside. We had a great stay & would love to go back, do some hikes and swim in more creeks. Totally recommend Colette's and our daughter really appreciated doing yoga with Geraldine at her studio down the road.Gillian2016-09-21T00:00:00Z
We had a fantastic stay at Colette's. Our only regret is that we only stayed 8 nights and not longer. Colette was out of town but Geraldine organized a very smooth arrival for us. The information book she left was very helpful for finding good restaurants like Salim's fantastic Cafe Collage open from Thursday till Sunday. Also don't miss Lake Francis with its breathtaking views and the nearby Harvest Cafe. The house was very clean and very comfortable. Colette's house is a real French lady's house with all her personal amenities and goods. We rather felt at home and responsible for taking good care of her nest and the two cats who live outside of the house. The best part was enjoying the amazing view and the serenity of this little town. The weather was warm in the day and cool at night and remember that you're in nature because you'll see many birds and bugs and the neighbors are far from each other although the one's we met were very kind. The king bed is extremely comfortable and the bathroom spacious however watch your water consumption because we have a drought in California. The Wifi was great as well as her sound system with the many CD's to choose from although the best is to leave all electronic devices back home in the city. We highly recommend this house and location and would love to come back soon. Thank you Colette & Geraldine.Steve Stepan2016-08-10T00:00:00Z
Colette has a beautiful house with an amazing view. We had a wonderful, quiet weekend stay here.Jeff2016-11-21T00:00:00Z

Enjoyed the serene stay, wonderful food, and great company of Jamie and Naomi. A great place to unwind, get connected and at the same time have fun..the setting is just beautiful..Gaurav and Bridget2012-07-23T00:00:00Z
Wonderful place to relax and recharge! Lots of bugs so be prepared to bring bug spray. The outdoor shower is really cool, that was probably my favorite thing about the place. The hosts there are really nice and accommodating. It's a great location if you're looking to go swimming in the nearby water holes. The yurt itself gets kind of hot in the day, but cools off a lot at night. This is what I would consider glamping on a budget :)Sophia2016-07-04T00:00:00Z
There was a bit of a confusion with our reservation. Originally, my wife and I were scheduled to sleep in one of the yurts they have on the property there. However, a few days before, we were informed that the yurts are not available and that they had a large tent with a queen size mattress available. We would be given a cash refund of the difference and Maya apologized for the confusion. Fair enough, we're not against camping and the description of the amenities (dinner, retreat programming and breakfast) were great. I then got an email saying that they didn't have the tent with the mattress available, but that they did have nice camping mattresses. Again, that's OK, but $80 to sleep in a tent? Ok, so we went and it was in a beautiful area. We were welcomed to dinner (which was delicious) and shown the property. I would pause here and make sure everyone knows that this is not a "retreat center". There are many people living and working there (the grounds were cluttered with building materials/etc.) in addition to doing the yoga, meditation, chanting, etc. This was not clear to us. We were shown to our tent, which had cobwebs in it. It was on a nice bluff with a great view of the moon, but again, $80 a night for that? There are $5 campsites in the area. I would make sure you know what you are getting in to here. It is not a weekend retreat so much as a living, breathing homestead. We were looking for a comfy place to crash and ended up feeling a bit ripped off. (They didn't even give us the proper cash back they had promised).Josh2015-09-28T00:00:00Z
While booking jamie was prompt and courteous. The space consists of a delightful yurt within a intentional community (mahayana-ish, western woowoo, yoga practitioners) of permanent to semi-transient residents. Upon arrival we were directed to the communal hub/ kitchen, took a brief tour with one of the more permanent residents, settled in and went to explore the yuba river and surrounding forests. The yurt was impeccably clean, well lit, comfortable and nestled within a chapparel/ interior live oak forest full of deer (one of which I fed kale for an hour or so; Jaime sorry if I engendered a desire for particulars of your garden) and curious, semi-feral cats . Overall we only had one point of contact; the initial tour of the grounds/facilities. I would highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a quiet, thoughtful environment.Michael/Melissa2015-08-31T00:00:00Z
It was such a lovely place to stay while on a little holiday! The bungalow/yurt like space was clean and had a beautiful view of nature. Jamie, our host was very busy with building projects, but was very kind and generous to stop what he was doing to show me a low hut structure that was an enclosed meditation room! The three cats are very friendly and curious. The garden is lovely and meals prepared are made from what they pick from It that day. Not too far from S. Yuba River and Nevada City I would stay at the sanctuary again!Mchief2014-09-08T00:00:00Z
We came to the retreat center for the second time last weekend, and found it to be truly a special place. When we come back, we feel much more peaceful. The two meals a day provided are tasty. The room is private yet centrally located on the site. Meditation was good for us.Daniel2014-02-18T00:00:00Z
Beautiful place, beautiful people. Was more than I could have asked for. The residents at the retreat center were excellent teachers of yoga and meditation and prepared delicious vegetarian food. They were warm and welcoming to us and offered helpful suggestions for hiking. The facilities were clean and the experience felt very intimate and rejuvenating. Look forward to visiting again!Kyle2015-07-13T00:00:00Z
Our stay at the retreat center exceeded all expectations. The hosts and interns were so warm and interesting to talk to. The yoga was varied, taught by skilled Yogis with lots of great information, and not too intimidating for beginners like me. It's at the mouth of some amazing trails and the Yuba river so there is plenty to enjoy. The food was delicious. Our stay was just what we needed. Thank you!Kate2015-08-12T00:00:00Z

This was my first airbnb experience and I am very happy to say that the Butler Cottage was exactly as described and more! We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be booking again, or one of the other properties which I am sure are very similar in experience. Not a negative word to say about this stay, but I do now have very high expectations for any other further airbnb experiences that will not be with Justin and Aldo. Highly recommend!Faith2015-11-09T00:00:00Z
We (3 adults) stayed here 2 nights in Spring. The cottage sleeps 3 very comfortably (I was on the sleeper couch) and is a true home-away-from-home with a fully equipped kitchen, plentiful hangers, linens, and an ingenious console that expands to a full dining table. Easy walk to downtown, on quiet streets. Affable, welcoming hosts. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!Joy2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
This is a delightful little cottage about 15 minutes walking from town. Could not have asked for a better location and includes everything you could possibly ask for. Justin was very accommodating as far as checking in. Would definitely recommend and would love to return.Katherine2014-08-23T00:00:00Z
The host was timely and friendly. The neighborhood is charming. The space itself is beautifully decorated and very clean. Really love the gardens.Yvette2015-06-27T00:00:00Z
Justin's lovely cottage was extremely comfortable and cozy. It was tastefully designed and decorated with all modern appliances. We enjoyed sitting out on the lovely patio overlooking the garden. Justin was an extremely hospitable and warm host who we immensely enjoyed talking with.dominiek & Tereza2014-07-24T00:00:00Z
What a true gem and sweet little spot this cottage is! Justin and Aldo were wonderful hosts- very helpful and extremely friendly. The cottage was cozy, very comfortable, and so so clean. It was even stocked with snacks and drinks so we felt spoiled. We really appreciated the 1 night minimum stay too! Thanks again, we'll be back!Daniella2014-01-27T00:00:00Z
We had an unbelievably nice stay in Justin's beautiful place in Grass Valley. Every detail was perfect--the well-equipped kitchen with thoughtful coffee and snacks, the classy decorating, comfy couch and bed and great bathroom. We loved sitting outside in the morning having breakfast in the amazing garden--loved it!!! Lots of closet space, great TV, internet and info. Chatting with Justin was a pleasure. There were even umbrellas...just in case! This is the best place to stay anywhere in the area..for sure!! Sincerely, The BrennersKathrin2015-07-20T00:00:00Z
Justin happened to be working outside when my husband and I pulled up. He greeted us and proceeded to take us directly to the cottage. The cottage was just as described! After a long car ride it was the perfect retreat! It was a wonderful feeling just to be able to walk into a place and immediately feel welcome. The cottage was incredibly clean and tidy. Everything that we could possibly need was there. The cottage is close to downtown Grass Valley, so everything was just a short trip away. This was our first Airbnb experience and it was great. We will defiantly be staying here again when we come back to visit family. I cannot recommend Butler Cottage enough! This is the perfect place to stay in Grass Valley!Erin2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Aleria and her family are super warm and friendly. I booked last-minute and arrived after dark and they had everything ready for me. The room is very cozy and spacious and the private entrance makes it feel like you have your own apartment. She had provided some nice touches in there like a coffeemaker and water bottles :) The bathroom and shower were both very clean. Location is great as long as you have a vehicle, very close to town yet with the country feel. Highly recommend !ryan2017-04-12T00:00:00Z
Aleria home is beautiful and not far from downtown. It was a pleasure staying there would definitely recommend.David 2017-03-14T00:00:00Z
Algeria is a thoughtful and kind host who communicated with me quickly and regularly. The room is really a bargain and quite adequate for one person. There is a beautiful sunset view from the window and the house is located in a pastoral setting. The only sound you will hear are happy family sounds. Sharing the bathroom was never a problem – it was always available to me when I wanted to use it. I appreciated being able to make coffee in the morning and there is a place to sit outside if you want to enjoy your coffee there.Patricia2017-05-20T00:00:00Z

Lina and Banislav's place is true to the photos and description. It's very comfortable and artfully decorated, with plenty of space to spread out. Loved the light-filled living room, as well as their sweet schnauzer and cat. I was pleasantly surprised that Lina offered breakfast (fruit, yogurt, and bread), and quite a tea selection. I stayed for one quick night's rest but this would be a wonderful home to spend more time in. I slept well on the firm memory foam bed even though I have a soft bed at home. The room is a great size for two people, and affords privacy as it's at the end of the hall, along with the private bath. Everything was fresh and clean. Robes and slippers were available in the closet. Highly recommended!Kim2017-03-08T00:00:00Z
Lina and her husband were the perfect hosts, everything was perfect and the house pictures were as it was on their Airbenb profile. I enjoyed with them all the time and at all moments they were there to help me with everything, drop me off to any place and offering me coffee, tea, soups,...if you are thinking to spend nights in Grass Valley, definitely this is your place.Alejandro2017-03-22T00:00:00Z

This was our second stay. Again wow! It was pretty cold being December however the space stayed so cozy. It must have amazing insulation. Ruth offered us delicious pork chops our first evening. The best we have ever had! The pig was raised on the farm with the tremendous love Ruth has for all her animals. I love it here because you can just feel the love and happiness. The bed and sheets were SO cozy it was hard to get out of bed.Diana2016-12-30T00:00:00Z
I've waited almost a week trying to think of something to say besides WOW! I'm generally not at a loss for words, I have hundreds of Yelp reviews. We arrived at 3pm on a Saturday. Totally oblivious to the sign that said "Blue Oaks Ranch" there is one, right after the bridge, keep your eyes open for it. So we went right past the place, saw gorgeous Nubian goats in the pasture and realized we needed to turn around because that must be it! We were greeted by Great Pyrenees sounding the alarm that strangers had arrived on the farm. It may sound odd to some but I felt comfortable and proud to meet a working dog doing such an excellent job! He was in the pasture with some beautiful sheep. Not just the boring white ones mind you but a beautiful collection of colors. After stepping out of the car I was awed by the silence. I adore silence, however I rarely get it in the busy world I live in. Only the occasional bark of the guard dogs, tinkle of bells from the sheep, gurgle of the fountain near the koi pond, and soft clucking of chickens. Upon entering the space we were greater by beautiful music, a bottle of white and red wines (sadly we don't drink) but there was also a sparkling water! We noticed how bright, clean, and beautiful the space was. Immediately we ran to the couches and the bed and tested them. The couches and the chair in the living room are wonderfully comfortable, and the bed!! It's one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in and the sheets are buttery soft. (I actually tried to find a tag because we wanted to but some. No luck) We looked at each other, sighed in bliss and said "I don't ever want to leave" after being there 10 minutes. Later in the evening Ruth stopped by saying "hi I'm your neighbor" she brought us some fantastic farm fresh goats milk to have with our coffee or granola in the morning. Both provided in the kitchen and both delicious. She mentioned the "farm smell" and I had to say it's a clean healthy farm smell and I love it. She asked if we'd like a farm tour in the morning and arranged one with her son Eric when we gleefully accepted. The next morning we got up early and watched Ruth milk the goats. The whole operation was so clean! Spotless barn floor, glowing stainless steel counters! Eric arrived and took us on a great tour. Walking the various pastures we saw cattle, sheep, emu that we are told is great for snake control, goats, pigs, rabbits and chickens. Not to mention the adorable baby Great Pyrenees. Next we were treated to a delicious cheese tasting by Ruth. Try the Gouda you'll love it! The cheese cave was also fascinating. We had discussed with Eric where to eat dinner, he asked if we...Diana2016-09-13T00:00:00Z
We absolutely loved staying at Blue Oaks Farm. It is an active farm and full of life =) Ruth is a fabulous host and took us on a tour of the farm, and we learned a lot! Cannot wait to go back.Lina2016-07-06T00:00:00Z
Blue Oaks is not only as pastoral as you would imagine, it's also this amazing sweet spot of tranquil and luxurious. Seriously, you look one way off your balcony ad you see goats, cows, sheep, pigs, chickens and vegetables; you look the other way and there's a hammock nestled in the oaks, an outdoor fireplace and a koi pond. It's also clean and well appointed, with a full kitchen, new fixtures and air conditioning. Ruth and Eric were also such great hosts. They went out of our way to give us city folk the full Green Acres experience, and their pellet bbq made the best ribs I have ever had.Vania2016-08-18T00:00:00Z
This is Airbnb at its very best, a chance to see a truly unique and special property and a way of life that otherwise we could only dream of. This small working farm is such a gem that words cannot do it justice, and Ruth is a remarkable woman that you will never forget. This is not just an exceptionally nice place to stay, it's an experience that will stay with you.Brady2016-08-19T00:00:00Z
This is one place not to miss!!! As we walked amidst the Koi ponds, vegetable gardens and peeked into the goat/sheep/Jersey cow dairy barn, I told my stepson "See, a real working farm doesn't have to look like a dump." Then we checked out our quarters, an elegant/practical/home style place with real oak floors, a bottle of great red wine awaiting us in a place that did not reek of perfumed cleaners. The bath was stocked with organic, mild scented soaps, shampoos and cleaners. The laundry repeated this and then we met our hosts! Ruth is a true beauty in the fullest sense of the word. She is the no. 1 hand in the barn first thing in the morning, and if you don't like the sounds of farm animals, they supplied bedside ear plugs! Both Marama and I did find this amusing as we have farmed ourselves and enjoy farm life mornings, but realize others may find them useful and considerate. One of the real pleasures of the stay was conversing with our hosts, Ruth and Eric. The only problem with our stay was the lack of time spent there. I want to be clear here, it's not a pretty, pretentious, gentrified, glam farm. But it is filled with a down home quality, mixed with honest, kind, integrity that creates an elegance connected to the to earth, to life. Thank you for a great stay, we will be back, no matter how far the detour to get there is!!!peter2016-07-15T00:00:00Z
Highly recommended, a working boutique ranch with all amenities and a wonderful sceneryCarlos2017-01-08T00:00:00Z
Had the best time at the ranch and I was very sad to leave. So many happy animals in a peaceful environment. The place itself is so elegant and huge. One of the nicest Airbnb's I've stayed at. There are plenty things to do around the area. Ruth was super nice, she gave us milk and fresh eggs and took us on a tour of how the cheese is made and checked out some of the animals. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice get away from the busy city lifeMonica2016-02-15T00:00:00Z

1. Pat Sims, Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman: With the New Orleans Saints down three points late in the fourth quarter, no one in Paul Brown Stadium believed they would go for it on fourth down with the exception of one person: Sims. Cincinnati's defensive lineman jumped offside and gave the Saints a new set of downs to eventually score the game-winning touchdown. Kudos to Sims for owning up to his mistake after the game. But the play still joins a long list of mental errors the Bengals have made this season.
2. Bengals' defense: What happened to this group? Cincinnati's defense was ranked No. 4 in the NFL during last year's playoff run but dropped to No. 22 this season. The Bengals are allowing 26.8 points per game and gave up another 34 points in the loss to New Orleans. Lack of a pass-rush is a huge issue, but overall everyone on Cincinnati's defense is struggling this year.
3. Baltimore Ravens' offense: It's Week 14, and I'm still waiting for this offense to develop more consistency. Some weeks the Ravens are scoring 37 points, while other weeks they could barely muster 10 points. On paper this group should be closer to the team that's capable of scoring 30 points a game. The talent is there at wide receiver, running back and tight end, which is part of the reason frustration is mounting in Baltimore. Veteran receiver Derrick Mason believes the offense should be more productive this late in the season, and we agree.
1. Terrell Suggs, Ravens defensive end/linebacker: It's been a great bounce-back season for Suggs, who already doubled his sack total (nine) from a year ago. But Suggs had his best game of the season in a big spot during Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had five tackles, 1.5 sacks and five additional hits on quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Suggs has 5.5 sacks in his past five games.
2. Troy Polamalu, Steelers safety: When a big play needs to be made, Polamalu is always ready for the key moment. Polamalu saved the Steelers for the second consecutive week with a game-changing sack and fumble of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco that led to Pittsburgh's go-ahead touchdown. Polamalu also had a crucial interception two weeks ago that helped force overtime in a win over the Buffalo Bills. Plenty of players can make plays, but few can close games defensively like Polamalu.
3. Joe Haden, Cleveland Browns cornerback: Cleveland's first-round pick is coming into his own late in the season. Haden recorded an interception in his fourth consecutive game in the Browns' win over the Miami Dolphins. Haden also had six tackles and four pass defensed. He leads the Browns this year with five interceptions and recently worked his way into the starting lineup.

Adoption of agroforestry practices: a case study from Andhra Pradesh, India
- Cite this article as:
- Alavalapati, J.R.R., Luckert, M.K. & Gill, D.S. Agroforest Syst (1995) 32: 1. doi:10.1007/BF00713844
This study analyzes factors influencing the adoption of agroforestry practices using logit analysis. In particular, the proposition that agroforestry practices have not been adopted by poor households is tested using data from West Godavari in the province of Andhra Pradesh, India. Innovation-decision process was used to guide the selection of variables used in the analysis. The results support the criticism that higher income farmers are the main beneficiaries of agroforestry if only farm forestry is considered. The results, however, do not support the criticism in the case of adoption of home gardens.

Hi There,
I am currently expecting our first child and am relatively new to the area so am looking for recommendations of pediatricians who are willing to work with us on the vaccination issue.
I have heard of a few pediatricians who will work with us but none of them are local so I would appreciate your assistance.
We are delivering our baby at Morristown with the help of Hackettstown Midwives (in case that matters).
Thanks everyone!
Hey there,
When we lived in Montclair, we went to Dr. Maria Yerovi in Bloomfield and LOVED her!!! Very knowledgable, great personality and very much respected that we did not vax. Highly recommend her. We moved out of the area recently and are trying to find someone as amazing. Good luck!
Thanks so much for your recommendation. I will check her out now!
Brilliant, thanks so much. I have been shocked by how many pediatricians won't work with us when I start asking questions. It is nice to hear that there are others out there who also want to make informed decisions about what is going into their childrens bodies.

Ben has been married for 47 years. He always managed the family's money. But since his stroke [1], Ben is not able to walk or talk. His wife, Shirley, feels overwhelmed. Of course, she's worried about Ben's health. But, on top of that, she has no idea what bills should be paid or when they are due.
Across town, 80-year-old Louise lives alone. One night, she fell [2] in the kitchen and broke her hip. She spent a week in the hospital and 2 months in a rehabilitation nursing home. Even though her son lives across the country [3], he was able to pay her bills and handle her Medicare questions right away. That's because, several years ago, Louise and her son made a plan about what he should do in case Louise had a medical emergency.
No one ever plans to be sick or disabled. Yet, it's this kind of planning that can make all the difference in an emergency.
Long before she fell, Louise put all her important papers in one place and told her son where to find them. She gave him the name of her lawyer, as well as a list of people he could contact at her bank, doctor's office, insurance company, and investment firm. She made sure he had copies of her Medicare [4] and other health insurance cards. She added her son's name to her checking account and safe deposit box at the bank. Louise made sure Medicare and her doctor had written permission to talk with her son about her health and insurance claims.
On the other hand, Ben always took care of family money matters, and he never talked about the details with Shirley. No one but Ben knew that his life insurance policy was in a box in the closet or that the car title and deed to the house were filed in his desk drawer. Ben never expected that his wife would have to take over. His lack of planning has made a tough job even tougher for Shirley.
The answer to this question may be different for every family. Remember, this is a starting place. You may have other information to add. For example, if you have a pet, you will want to include the name and address of your veterinarian. Include complete information about:
There are many different types of legal documents that can help you plan how your affairs will be handled in the future. Many of these documents have names that sound alike, so make sure you are getting the documents you want. Also, State laws vary, so find out about the rules, requirements, and forms used in your State.
Wills and trusts let you name the person you want your money and property to go to after you die.
Advance directives let you make arrangements for your care if you become sick. There are two ways to do this:
For legal matters, there are two ways to give someone you trust the power to act in your place:
You may want to talk with a lawyer about setting up a general power of attorney, durable power of attorney, joint account, trust, or advance directive. Be sure to ask about the lawyer's fees before you make an appointment.
You should be able to find a directory of local lawyers at your library, or you can contact your local bar association for lawyers in your area. Your local bar association can also help you find what free legal aid options your State has to offer. An informed family member may be able to help you manage some of these issues.

Welcome to Utopia, coming to a screen near you
By Thomas Escritt
LAREN, The Netherlands (Reuters) - In a windswept enclosure southeast of Amsterdam, shivering volunteers are building a home for themselves from scratch, under the constant gaze of television cameras relaying their struggles to the outside world.
They are contestants in "Utopia", the latest reality show from John De Mol, the man behind "Big Brother" and many other shows that have made the Netherlands synonymous with reality television.
And if "Big Brother", launched some 15 years ago, presaged a later world of social media, with its proposition that private lives are better widely shared, De Mol thinks "Utopia" reflects the concerns of today's audiences.
"Our trendspotters came back with one consistent message," he said.
"People are worried about their finances, about their jobs, about their futures, about governments interfering in their lives. So we said: 'Why don't we let them build the world they've always wanted, a Utopia for themselves'?"
Perhaps the original brainwave behind reality television came more easily in a country where people rarely close their curtains on long winter evenings, giving passers-by on the chilly streets of Amsterdam's 17th-century canal district a view into peoples' living rooms.
The trend set by De Mol with "Big Brother" became a huge financial success too, earning millions for Dutch investors and drawing the attention of media giants to the Netherlands.
Just last week, Warner Bros said it would buy Dutch production company Eyeworks for a reported 200 million euros ($274.05 million). Eyeworks has produced a slew of reality shows, including "Obese," "My Kid is Too Fat," and "Slumdog Holiday" which aired in 150 countries. Continued...

Red-hot Giroud and Suarez key to heavyweight clash
LONDON (Reuters) - The Premier League clash between high-flying Arsenal and Liverpool on Saturday could well be decided by the form of two strikers whose recent performances have silenced those doubting them before the start of the season.
Leaders Arsenal raised plenty of eyebrows when they failed to land a striker during the transfer window, leaving Frenchman Olivier Giroud, who underwhelmed during his first season in England, to lead the line.
Giroud has since gone on to net five goals and set up a further four in nine league matches, to prove his critics wrong and help Arsenal to the top of the table.
While there were no doubts over the ability of Liverpool's Luis Suarez, there was plenty of speculation he was set to leave the club, possibly for Arsenal, after the Anfield side failed to qualify for this season's Champions League.
Since his return from a 10-match suspension for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic, the Uruguayan has scored six goals in four league appearances, including a hat-trick in last week's 4-1 win over West Bromwich Albion, and has struck up a devastating partnership with Daniel Sturridge to put the doubts over his commitment to rest.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger acknowledged the impact the pair were having on their respective clubs.
"They are different styles of players," he told reporters on Friday.
"Giroud is a real center forward who uses space and uses his power and he's really central. Suarez is more a player who goes on the flanks, comes deep into midfield and is more a dribbler."
Wenger backed Giroud, who came on as a substitute for Arsenal during their League Cup defeat to Chelsea on Tuesday, to maintain his form, and gave little thought to the fact Suarez could have been lining up alongside him had Liverpool decided to sell the Uruguayan after the Gunners made a bid of just over 40 million pounds ($64.26 million).

UPDATE 1-Beverage maker Cott reports dip in revenue, margin
* First-quarter revenue falls 4 pct
* Filled beverage case volumes dip 5 pct
* Shares fall as much as 11 pct (Adds details, shares)
May 1 (Reuters) - Canadian soft drink maker Cott Corp reported a fall in its first-quarter revenue and margins as it exited some of its businesses in North America and lost market share, sending its shares down as much as 11 percent.
The company, which was also hit by what it called a general market decline in the North American carbonated soft drink market, said revenue fell 4 percent to $505.4 million in the quarter ended March.
Filled beverage case volumes fell 5 percent to 193 million cases.
Gross margin for the company, which owns brands such as Red Rain and Vess, fell to 11.2 percent from 12.1 percent as fixed costs rose as a percentage of total sales.
"For several previous quarters, Cott has been able to offset weaker-than-anticipated topline with strong gross margin expansion, which was not the case this quarter," JP Morgan analyst John Faucher said in a note to clients.
Cott's shares have risen 35 percent this year, while the broader S&P/TSE Canadian Consumer Staples Index has risen 8 percent during the same period. Continued...

So what, contemplating the carnage in Egypt, does the Western world do now? It is not hard to imagine the scurrying going on in capitals, where presidents, prime ministers, ambassadors and strategists are all far away from their desks. International calamities have a habit of erupting during the holidays of high summer or deep midwinter, making it all the more likely that one ill-judged response will follow another. But how the United States and Europe address a crisis that combines the indiscriminate brutality of Tiananmen Square with the enduring volatility of this neighbourhood demands more careful consideration than there is strictly time for.
Above all, the scale of what has happened must not be underestimated. The military assault on the Muslim Brotherhood's protest encampments cost, at the latest official assessment, more than 500 lives. Ruthlessness, ineptitude, naivety and an acceptance of martyrdom may have played a part in increasing the death toll. But that is no excuse. This was a ferocious military crackdown, causing casualties all over the country, from Suez and Alexandria in the north, to Aswan in the south. For all the ferocity, though, and the cordons and the curfews, it is not obvious that the army will be able to keep order nationwide. We may be looking at chaos rather than incipient civil war.
And chaos not just anywhere, but in a country of more than 80 million people, a majority of them under 24 with – in terms of paid employment – nothing like enough to do. The most populous country of the region, Egypt links the Arab and African worlds. To the north are Israel, Gaza and Syria – whose combined potential for disruption needs no further explanation. Nor should it be forgotten that Egypt controls the Suez Canal, still the crucial route for East-West shipping. Or that Egypt has long enjoyed huge international sympathy because of its distinct history and identity. The Western world cannot afford an Egypt mired in protracted disorder.
Egypt's relative proximity and the unpredictability of its neighbourhood exclude the treatment the West meted out to China after Tiananmen Square. Beijing was essentially confined to a diplomatic deep freeze. As always, of course, there was more rhetoric than reality, but China and its leaders could be ostracised because trade relations were nothing like as close as they are now and China was far away and self-contained. Nor, realistically, had there been any serious chance of democracy breaking out in China as a result of the protests. The West was always more spectator than actor in an alien land.
Egypt is different. The US, in particular, has been deeply engaged there since 1979 as part of the peace treaty with Israel. It is an engagement that was to a large extent military and allied to security guarantees – which may explain why President Obama showed such reluctance to switch sides as the popular challenge to Mubarak's rule mounted and why, when the military ousted the elected Muslim Brotherhood president, Mohamed Morsi, the US (and most of its allies) shilly-shallied so disgracefully in calling it a military coup. Not only would a coup have sounded far worse than "the formation of a military-backed government", it would have obliged the US to suspend military aid – and with it, Obama was clearly persuaded, the last fragments of American leverage. You can understand, if not support, the argument that some leverage is better than none.
Yet the belief that the US, or Europe, has been in a position to exercise much, or even any, leverage in Egypt since the overthrow of Mubarak is largely wishful thinking. It was an illusion, and one that has landed us in the predicament we find ourselves in today.
Among the early mistakes the West made was not to anticipate the end of Hosni Mubarak's rule long before his departure was forced. It was easier to deal with the old ally – as, by the way, it is easier and more convenient to deal with the Soviet-era potentates in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, who are also in the twilight of their years – without paying too much attention to the demographic forces swirling around him. At least Central Asia, unlike Egypt, is not even close to our backyard.
A second mistake was to exaggerate our power to influence, let alone control, events. Oh yes, we courted the young telegenic protesters on Tahrir Square; our NGOs flooded in to teach the basics of (mostly US-style) democracy; we talked the language of constitutions and conventions and ballot boxes, and we lauded Egypt's growing electoral literacy. We even managed, just about, to avoid the fatal error we made with the Palestinians – to encourage elections, and then reject a result not to our liking. But when President Morsi was deposed by the army, our double standards once again homed into view. A new government, however distasteful, and new elections would give Egypt a second chance to produce a result that we – and our young friends of all those months ago on Tahrir Square – might prefer. No wonder so many governments chose not to call the coup by its proper name. Egyptians, of all persuasions, have every right to question our good faith.
Amid the ruins of the West's misfired good intentions stands one lone and tragic figure – Mohamed ElBaradei – who, through no fault of his own, epitomises the way in which we have misread today's Egypt for so long. A distinguished lawyer and diplomat, an accomplished international civil servant who was awarded the Nobel peace prize for his work at the International Atomic Energy Agency, ElBaradei belongs to Egypt's urbane elite. He was the face of Egypt's future we hoped for. We saw him as a transitional successor to Mubarak, then as the ideal first president of a democratic Egypt. But the only leadership post he actually obtained – and that not without dispute – was as acting vice-president for international affairs after the coup. It was a clear sop to Western opinion, designed to make the unacceptable just acceptable enough.
ElBaradei lasted just one month, resigning as the army was ordered in to crush the Muslim Brotherhood. How could he not? With him went, or should have gone, any illusions the West still cherished – because Egypt is not a country of urbane ElBaradeis, but a vast, backward country with millions of young and poor, who urgently need training and jobs and some tangible improvement in their daily lives.
It is here, in education and the economy, that the West's efforts should have been concentrated from the outset. And perhaps, with our illusions about Egypt and its supposedly benevolent military regime now shattered, this is where a new start can be made. But without civic order, or at least order that enjoys broad popular consent, even such basic assistance will be harder. We are damned if we maintain relations with a regime that has slaughtered so many of its own people, but also damned if we don't. The West needs an Egypt that is calm and secure, an Egypt that settles its internal differences without resort to arms. As of this week, such an Egypt looks very far from reality. But it is an Egypt that most Egyptians – few of whom ever shared the West's illusions – would also want for themselves.Reuse content

If the music industry agreed on one thing – and it rarely does – it was that the web streaming service Spotify was the future for a business ravaged by piracy. But Chris Martin has dealt a possibly fatal blow to that assumption after Coldplay refused to license their new album to Spotify, which now faces a revolt from some big artists.
EMI, Coldplay's record company, is said to be "embarrassed" after its star act declined to allow Spotify's ten million users to listen to Mylo Xyloto, the band's new album. EMI, whose music division could be sold today in a $1.5bn deal by owners Citgroup, negotiated a deal to license its music to Spotify, in which it also owns a stake of under 2 per cent.
The Swedish-founded, UK-headquartered Spotify has transformed the way music is listened to by fans since its 2008 launch. It lets users stream a catalogue of 15 million songs to their computers and mobile phones through a monthly subscription or listen via an advertising-supported free service.
With CD sales suffering a 40 per cent collapse since 2001, Spotify was hailed as one of a handful of legal digital services which could lure fans from pirate sites and restore industry revenues. But artists are in revolt after discovering they are receiving few royalties compared with CD sales, despite thousands of plays on Spotify. The service pays 0.085p per stream, which is split between the publisher and songwriters.
Coldplay declined to give a reason for their decision but it follows Adele's refusal to place her 21 album on Spotify. She has sold 10 million CDs and downloads this year, defying claims that albums could no longer sell in large volumes.
Tom Waits also joined the rebellion, declining to place his new Bad As Me album on Spotify, Rhapsody, Deezer and the MOG streaming services. Major catalogues such as those of The Beatles and Pink Floyd are also unavailable.
Jazz Summers, manager of The Verve and La Roux, said: "Everyone told La Roux they were listening to her album on Spotify. We looked at her royalties from thousands of plays and she basically got nothing. She said: 'Sod it, I'm taking it off. The royalties are barely enough to pay for a set of guitar strings.'"
With this increasing influence has come "arrogance", Mr Summers said. Spotify executives recently held a meeting with Britain's leading music managers and, after making a presentation, refused to take questions. "That went down badly," he said.
While snubbing Spotify, Coldplay gave rival iTunes exclusive plays of Mylo Xyloto and is promising those who make a £7.99 purchase on the Apple service a superior sound quality MP3. Amazon is selling the album, which has sold 150,000 copies so far this week in the UK, for a heavily discounted £3.99.
EMI said: "We always work with our artists and management on a case-by-case basis to deliver the best outcome."
Mark Mulligan, a digital music analyst, said: "Coldplay have made a business decision that they can generate more income and album sales through iTunes and Amazon. That is worth more to them than the widespread exposure to their music that Spotify offers. But few artists have the firepower to dictate terms to their record labels."
Like EMI, other major record labels – Warner, Sony and Universal – also purchased a stake in Spotify and that has become a source of conflict with their artists.
The artist revolt could escalate, warns the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors. Patrick Rackow, Basca chairman, said: " It's a great time to be a music fan – there are more sources of music than ever before, but this does not mean the artist should feel pressured into being ubiquitously present on all services."
