text: I've been a big fan of Zeropaid for about 10 years. I used to love coming to the site and reading all the exciting news about how Gnutella was being improved upon and how P2P apps in general were evolving (AntsP2P, Freenet, etc.). The release of Zeropaid's updated Xolox app was awesome. This is where I learned about eMule, PeerGuardian, and so much else. The forums kept my interest going as well with all sorts of topics. Nowadays, I dread going to the site. Don't get me wrong: Zeropaid still rocks. I love the site. It's the news that pisses me off. 3 strikes BS, traffic throttling, government collusion with big industry... what the hell's happened? I miss the good news.

Also according to all the hunters and their partners in this post, this isn't a nerf but a buff, since powershot was so impossible to get off. Now it's a 2.2 seconds cost so they will actually be able to use the ability, since they never could before. So overall buff for them, unless they were being untruthful previously of course.
Powershot now costs 15 Focus, down from 20. Now has a 45 sec cooldown, down from 60. Now is a 2.2 sec cast, down from 3. Now deals 600% weapon damage to primary target and 300% weapon damage to the targets between you and the primary target, down from 800% and 400%.

Big Star 1974 Pioneer Jean
SALE $49.97 was $98.00 Item #170165MQPIOMX
- Regular fit bootcut zip fly jean
- Mid-rise, 19" bottom opening
- Embroidered back pockets
- Leather Big Star label on back
- 99% Cotton, 1% Spandex.
- Machine wash cold with like colors, inside out to retain color. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low. Warm iron if needed.
- Made in Mexico.
Ozone Technology. LESS WATER. LESS ENERGY. LESS CHEMICALS. Ozone Technology has allowed Big Star to reduce its use of water, chemicals and energy by approximately 25% annually, helping to save the world one jean at a time. Koos Manufacturing Inc., the home to premium denim brand Big Star, is now using Ozone Technology, a wash process that significantly reduces the company's water consumption, use of chemicals and dirty energy. Big Star applies Ozone Technology to its denim manufacturing as a drying process that essentially produces a cleaner finish on the jean in a much quicker time frame, and uses no water during its cycle. Normally, jeans are rinsed with large amounts of water to get rid of the excess indigo from the garment, and chemicals are applied to fade the jean and clean up indigo bleeds on the pocket linings. The ozone acts as a bleach to disinfect the garment, kill bacteria and reduce indigo backwash, dramatically lowering water consumption as well as energy and chemical usage.

!D Gate
The !D Gate is a modern, open pedestal that is mounted on the floor. Because it is an integrated reader, both the reader and antennae are included. It supports processes like goods receiving, transition from stock room to sales floor and anti-theft (EAS). Depending on the role, the optimum RFID parameters are chosen automatically.
The !D POS is an integrated reader to be used for reading items at the point-of-sale station. It has a small, rugged casing that can be mounted under the cash desk.

The !D Top is a state-of-the-art integrated reader that can easily be mounted on the wall or to the ceiling - using almost invisible steel cables. Its elegant, compact design blends into every store, keeping the entrance of the store or the passage to the stock room wide open. At the store entrance, the !D Top can be used stand-alone as RFID-based EAS system or used as an addition to existing traditional EAS systems.

What a a-hole
He can't play because his heart is still in Phoenix. What a damn joke this dude is!
So say he is hurt somehow again. Are we stuck with his contract or is there a way we can void it? Not that it would be smart i'm just curious at the options we have here at this point.
Yet another stupid move by Demps.
I'm not a hater of Demps but he's made two potential moves that could damage our team's future. His first one was the horrible trade he agreed to with LA so he could field a 8th seed team/middle of the pack team. Luckily Stern saved him on that one. Then, with all of the history of EG and Gordon making clear as day statements he wanted out, he STILL matches the offer. Now look where we stand.
Also on Monty because Monty strung the company line that Gordon was "the leader of our team that we need to keep". And there were a ton of media members also saying "match the offer, Gordon is worth pushing this under the rug for".
So a guy with no injury may miss the whole season? Or until December 15 when he gets what he wants which is a trade out of town. Either way I still support resigning him, he'll pass a physical and get a better haul than what would have been had in a s&t with Phoenix
@McNamara247 So there is nothing structurally wrong, but Gordon doesn't know if he will play this year? #IamDone
Given how awful this guy is with the media, does anyone think he isn't trying to force a trade at this point? Mysterious, phantom injuries can miraculously recover at any time, I'd imagine.
Jimmy Smith @JimmySmithtp
#Hornets @TheofficialEG10 says doctors see possible damage inside ailing right knee. http://bit.ly/SzCaI0
at this point I don't care what we can get for Gordon, lets just unload his contract and move on
Dudes a clown.
This guy just puts a damper on everything doesnt he? We had the season opener yesterday and ohhh erics not playing. Today its this... I feel like this could have probably waited for a little while.
We have the worst Training staff/doctors in the NBA. I mean this is part Gordon being fragile, and part our doctors being completely inept on making a diagnosis. For goodness sake we need new medical staff personel.
Monty's seems to be saying that the doctor's have cleared Gordon to play but that he is refusing to do do by claiming he is still injured. As an attorney, Gordon could potentially be breaching his contract. If a player is healthy enough to play and refuses to do so, he has breached his contract. The team might have a legal recourse to get out of this deal and get rid of the guy.
One quote is from Gordon himself, who knows if what he is saying is correct.
the other is an opinion.
I think what he need is for Monty to explain exactly what the doctors are saying about Gordon. Don't hold your breath because that won't happen.

text: Features Apps and Workouts Specifications Custom Branding Related Products Colors Gym Planner Features VARIETY AND VERSATILITYSelect a pattern of motion...or...let the machine do it for you. Dual Axis Technology® is a Cybex patented strength training mechanism that provides variety and versatility for the most complete workout. Standard selectorized equipment trains muscles from a single direction that is defined only by the machine. Using our unique Dual Axis Technology® the Eagle Chest Press offers the option to train in either the machine-defined pattern of motion...or to move in a different pattern...one defined completely by the user.NO TWO ARMS ARE ALIKECybex uses independent movement to train each arm according to its need. By allowing the arms to move independently of each other, Eagle delivers the ability to balance the workout when one arm is weaker or injured. Independent movement encourages symmetrical strength development and also allows for unilateral, bilateral, alternating, or high-speed reciprocal training.ARMS MOVE THE WAY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TOThe converging path of motion of Eagle Chest Press mimics the natural way the human arms move...forward and to the center...not straight ahead. The Eagle Chest Press provides a more complete range of motion with constant torque at the shoulder. Adding Cybex Dual Axis technology® gives an added dimension by augmenting the converging motion with the option for a user-defined motion.SAFE NEVER FELT THIS GOODThe unique Cybex start position adjustment design assures that the preset range of motion is never exceeded and the fit of the machine to user is perfect. Unlike many other chest press machines, Eagle does not use a foot kick plate to help the arms get into the proper position to begin exercise. With Eagle, the seat back adjusts to the comfortable start position, which ensures safety is not compromised in the event muscles weaken and exercise has to end before the feet can get back to the footplate. Adjusting the back pad means that tall and short users will fit perfectly as compared to machines that adjust the arm – forcing taller users into a narrow position and shorter users into wider positions than ideal.

The Lakeside Blog springs forth from the creative mind of Michelle Bruck at the Interlaken Inn, Lakeville, CT. She writes about events, great places to visit and cool things to do – in and around Lakeville & Salisbury Connecticut.

A "second home" for the Kaisers
I have worked at the Interlaken for many years now, and a name that has been quite familiar to me since almost my beginning here has been Kaiser. I've seen the name "Kaiser Family Reunion" on our welcome board many times, and I've seen "Mr. & Mrs. Kaiser" in our reservation system almost every year. I got to catch up with them this visit, and wanted to share with you the Kaiser's thoughts about what they consider to be their "second home"!
First of all, they will be celebrating SIXTY years of happily wedded bliss this August (umm, how many people can say that these days?), have eight children and nineteen grandchildren. The couple began visiting the Inn about 18 years ago after reading about us in a publication. They both welcome the beautiful countryside, scenic views and rolling farmland in this area, and found the Interlaken Resort to be one of the most enjoyable places in Connecticut (that's a quote), and a perfect place for a reunion for 37 family members.
So for about a week in hot sizzling July (sometimes November), the Kaiser family would come to their "second home" for some relaxation and important family bonding time. They would occupy the entire Sunnyside house (newly renovated now, by the way!) and the first set of Townhouses. Mr. Kaiser would arrange tennis tournaments for the boys (complete with a trophy) and Mrs. Kaiser would arrange a golf outing for the girls at the Hotchkiss Golf Course right next door. Both kids and adults would enjoy the pool and our lakefront for kayaking, swimming and relaxing. On the last night of their stay with us, an old fashioned outdoor BBQ would be arranged, with a football being tossed and kids running about while the hot dogs and hamburgers were being grilled.
Today, they came in the same front entrance where they used to play "Baby Steps & Giant Steps" with grandson Brendan, and they had lunch today in the same room where they remember their little grandson Connor dancing with the band. They have so many fond family memories at Interlaken it's no wonder they have warm thoughts about us and continue to visit as much as they can! Although they wish it was easier for the entire family to come back for a get together, they realize it can be difficult and just hope it will happen again at some point.
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Kaiser for coming for so many years and sharing your memories with me!
A public Thank You!
Sometimes there's just one simple thing that will make your day, and I'd like to share with you what did it for me today, on this last Tuesday in April. It wasn't the extremely warm temperature in New England today, nor was it the bright sun shining down, nor was it the smathering of spring flowers popping up in the gardens around the Interlaken front entrance as I drove in this morning. It wasn't the beautiful Spring trees in bloom, nor was it the neighboring courtyard trees that are full of buds, nor the grass that is getting greener by the minute. It wasn't even my perfectly brewed cup of Irish Breakfast Harney and Sons tea! Now, although all of these things did make me happy, it wasn't until I read an email that a co-worker sent me that did it for me: a Guest chose to stay at the Interlaken because of my blog!! (this is where I would insert smiley faces if I knew how!). Of course I monitor stats and clicks and such in regards to the blog, and am happy with the numbers (thank you), but this is the first time I have ever heard the comment that Guests actually made their decision to stay here because of this blog. And, to top it all off, she had a great time! So here's my public thank you:
Sivi - THANK YOU!
Thank you for reading my blog, for choosing to stay at the Interlaken, and for making my day!!
Every day is Earth Day at Interlaken!
Still being the only hotel in the Northwest Corner of Connecticut as a certified Green Hotel, Interlaken continues on its mission to save energy, conserve water, utilize green cleaning initiatives, and practice other environmentally sound techniques. We have implemented a variety of programs to maintain this mission, and with Earth Day being just two days away, it's only appropriate to list some of those items here today:
- Recycle bins are in each Guestroom, as well as large recycling units around the property
- Installation of an ozone machine in our laundry room to guarantee that our towels and sheets achieve the whitest and safest clean technology without throwing harsh chemicals into the earth
- Our Chefs continue to add food scraps (such as from fruits and veggies) to the composting bins. The organic matter is then used in the new raised herb beds that will grace your plate in Morgan's restaurant
- New plantings from Salisbury Garden Center are low maintenance, hardy and of native varieties. The gardens around the property are populated with grasses and perenniels, and annuals that require significant water and fertilizer are limited
- The amenities in our Guestrooms come in Biodegradable bottles
- Use of green cleaning products in all Guestrooms and public areas
- All rooms have 2.0 GPM (gallons per minute) aerators on bathroom sink faucets
- Purchase at least 20% of food from local farmers (in season) for Morgan's, such as Skyfarms greens and lettuce, Fleisher organic meats, fruits and veggies from Farm Girl Farm, among many others
- Automatic light sensor shut-offs for meeting rooms and office space
- Participation in the Clean the World program, where remaining soap bars from Guestrooms are collected, recycled and redistributed to poverish countries around the globe. Read below for some words from Shawn Seipler from Clean the World:
As we recognize Earth Day with celebrations around the globe, let's pause to realize something quite powerful. By participating in the Clean the World hospitality program, our nearly 900 hotels and bed-and-breakfast partners throughout North America have helped divert in excess of 550 tons of hotel waste from polluting local landfills.
Think about that for a moment. Without your participation in Clean the World, more than 1.1 million pounds of soap and bottled amenities would be trashed. That's a lot of garbage and, in the truest sense of the term, a great waste of valuable resources.
By teaming with Clean the World, you've helped turn trash into treasure, providing soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions and gels for people in need. And you've improved sanitation conditions for communities everywhere.
Enjoy Earth Day. You have reason to celebrate because you're helping Clean the World.

Interlaken welcomes Symphrose and Consalata!
Interlaken was honored to be chosen as a host property for a Rwandan businesswoman and her associate as part of Bpeace, a non-profit network of business professionals who volunteer time and skills with entrepreneurs in conflict-affected countries including Afghanistan, Rwanda and El Salvador. If you are aware of the genocide of 1994 in Rwanda, then hearing Symphrose's story of her survival and rebuilding of her life and dream are even more amazing. She is now the proud owner of Le Petit Prince Hotel with 25 guest rooms, a conference center, a swimming pool, and a restaurant, all sitting on beautiful landscaped grounds in the now peaceful country of Rwanda. They are here for 2 full days, gaining knowledge and sharing knowledge with Interlaken staff members about the hotel business. I loved spending time with them this morning talking about staffing issues, Guest feedback programs, and of course, social networking. It's always in apprencticeship programs like this that those that "teach" learn as well! I shared how Interlaken is now proud to be a CT Green Lodging Certified hotel, and they informed me of "Vision 2020", the country's plan for a green economy. They advised me if I should ever visit Rwanda to leave my plastic bags at home as they are not allowed at all in their country - contents included!
It was a pleasure for Interlaken to be a part of their two week learning visit to the US!
Bring home some local color!
So yesterday Salisbury Garden Center brought Interlaken the beautiful colors of Spring to its front entrance - thank you Emily from SGC! I was able to talk to Emily earlier today about the upcoming season at Interlaken (their 7th one here making our gardens look lovely!) and as usual, I am quite excited to see the lush greens and colors of the season appear once again! In addition to the beautiful hangers on the Sunnyside Porch, the ferns at the Woodside Building, the grasses at Countryside, the window boxes at the Townhouses, the huge colorful pots at the outdoor heated pool and the multitiude of color around the Wedding Pavilion, Emily and crew have other new plantings in store for us. Once summer comes, you will notice new grasses at the Woodside building, a new garden at the walkway up to the victorian Sunnyside building - and my personal favorite - a new look at the front entrance to the main building. I won't give any more details than this - you will just have to come up this summer and see for yourself!
Do you want to get some color from Salisbury Garden Center too? The store is conveniently located on Route 44 a mile east of the center of the quaint village of Salisbury, less than 10 minutes away from Interlaken property. They are open every day from 8:30am to 5pm, offering a wide selection of annuals, perennials, house plants, trees and shrubs, along with garden equipment and gifts. If you are in the mood for pansies, SGC is the place to go! Beginning this Saturday, April 16th and for many Saturdays following through June, they are offering a "Saturday Design Series" with designer Christine Krause, who will offer one-on-one consultations to make your garden be the best it can be! To get more information about this program, visit SGC's website by clicking here. I know I can't wait to get my thumb green once again this season! Visit Salisbury Garden Center to get your spring plantings started today!
Interlaken has got C O L O R !
And here's proof! Thank you Salisbury Garden Center for bringing beautiful color to our front entrance!
It's so BREEZY at Interlaken!
And I am not referring to a weather condition!
Breezy is an 8 month old Cock-a-Chon - combine a Cocker Spaniel with a Bichon Frise and wah-lah! You have cute Cock-a-Chon. Breezy has a beautiful white coat with a few patches of tan, big brown eyes and the sweetest puppy breath ever - he was full of kisses for everyone!
Super adorable, right?! And super smart too, because Breezy chose to stay at Interlaken and loved his first visit with us! Of course he chose the new and improved king-bedded room in the Victorian-styled Sunnyside building as his pet friendly accommodation. He loved his private entrance, how he could just prop himself up and look outside to see if he could spot another dog, perhaps staying over in the Woodside accommodation....
And his adoring owners loved watching him do this!
Time to bring your pet to Interlaken! We've got a total of nine pet friendly rooms - eight in Woodside with one Queen bed and one in Sunnyside with one king bed. A posh pet bed is provided for your favorite canine, along with plenty of property for walking and playing with your dog, including a nice leisurely walk to the lakefront. Winston is known to spoil pups with plenty of treats, so be sure to bring him/her in upon arrival.
If you aren't sure Interlaken is right for your pet, we have pet references! Please contact Crystal ("A Happy Guest" July 2010 blog), Saxon ("Saxon's stay at Interlaken" October 2010 blog) or Flirt (I am such a FLIRT! February 2011 blog)!
Colorful & Creative Country Quilters!
I love 'em!
I love driving to work on these special weekends, knowing the meeting rooms are full of colorful fabrics, patterns, sewing machines, irons, batting, needles, & threads…
I love arriving to work and seeing the familiar & happy faces (this is my favorite part - always a big smile & hug from Claire!)….
I love seeing them all head upstairs to Morgan's, knowing they will be receiving a tasty meal to overly satisfy their taste buds and give them the energy they need to get them quilting late into the night…
I love wandering between the tables and admiring their work, finding out what quilt is being made and why, and who will be the lucky one to receive it…
I love that Country Quilters loves us too!
Emailed to Kristy Barto, Corporate Sales Manager:
Dear Kristy,
Another hearty "thank you" to you and Kevin and all of the gracious, friendly and efficient staff of the Interlaken Inn. It is always such a joy to spend time with all of you and this weekend was no exception. The food continues to draw rave reviews (well, except for the "nut" ladyJ), but it was truly exceptional. Everyone appreciated the menu on Saturday evening for our 50s theme of Domestic Divas and the salmon on Friday night was "lip smacking good", as someone said. Then there was the beet salad, the stuffed mushrooms, the great soups,…
We are most grateful for all of the extra efforts you expend on our behalf and almost all of our 8 new participants have already signed up for the fall which is a good sign. They loved everything about the Inn, the staff and our event and I thank you for your part in enticing them to return. We already have 33 deposits for the fall and hope to finish with a total of 50 ladies, which would be good for the fall session. I'll keep you posted on our progress because I know the fall is a busy season for the Inn.
Again, thank you so much, have a most enjoyable summer and we'll look forward to seeing you in October.
Warm regards,

FPS is a throughout problem, not a latency one.Well, don't openarena and unigine benches also list the min fps? That should be a good indicator.
I'm not here to judge this, but RealNC seems to know what he's talking about, judging from posts he knows and talks specific things, while it seems that kraftman is not talking specific but overall and sometimes not correct or so.
BFS patch is not CK patchset, this was the thing when everything went wrong and YES it is not the same (hz thing is in CK, nothing to do with BFS)!
Anyhow, BFS for me works, not sure is it better at that wokrload and is poorer at other, but it works quite well. Throughput benchmarks is not the point of BFS at all, desktop experience is. Phoronix made excuses in Cons blog about those benches and promised to deliver proper benches what I'm personally are waiting to see.
Hope those ones will deliver us overview of CFS vs BFS where and how it's appropriate!
P.S. These "wrong or so" ones actually were not bad at all at least for me - we saw how throughput was affected by BFS

If you don't need it, don't use it. It's as simple as that.
You don't even have a point anymore other than asking idiotic questions for the sake of asking them.
Because of that, I can blame CFS but not an optional patch.
PS: Back when I used BFS I was on a single core machine with only 1GB of ram... These days I use a quad core with 8GB of ram, which is why I don't bother recompiling it these days. Though in saying that, I really like the idea of BFS in a way because I think the current kernel is built around server technology and not desktops. Thus my theory that possibly BFS would be idea as an option for all us desktop users.
Kraftman: Why is anything bad? People will generally do what they want. At least we have an article to discuss something in the first place. We need more options like this to begin with.
(edit) PS: Another thing I did was compile in kernel drivers. So the modules didn't load at start-up. That helped improve boot times. I think I had my NIC and (alsa) Audio drivers all compiled into the kernel. x) I notice that if I did aI would get much less threads or processes with a minimised kernel. So the system felt less laggy and cleaner.Code:ps aux

I have had this a year now and wanted to wait to review it until I used it for a while. I like most everything about it excet it can be hard to start sometimes. I am short 5'2 so sometimes I have a hard time pulling it started on the first try. If I cnt get it after a few times I have to leave it sit before trying again. Not a big deal but annoying. The biggest annoying thing is once you stop it it takes a while for it to start back up. Im not sure if it gets too hot or what the issue is. Here is a perfect example. I will be mowing and my neighbor walks up to talk and I turn it off to talk. After 10 min or so of talking I go back to mowing and it will not start. Same thing happens when I turn it off to move sticks/toys in the yard I found or when I stop it to open the gate to go to the front yard. Other than those issues it works great and so far so good.

I purchased it last year and used all year long. It is very efficient Mower. I have a 5000 sqft yard but it is on hill. this front wheel mower makes it very easy to mow the lawn. Small gas tank but lasts few weeks. Can be used with & without bag. Easy to store & start. Takes 3 stokes max.

Poor design on the grass discharge bagging. Does not discharge most of the cut grass.

User friendly and light weight. As a women I find it hard to find a mower that works well without muscle. Well made, and overall a good purchase. I am satisfied.

It is light weight and easy to maneuver, but has front wheel drive to assist in mowing uphill.

Coming from a family of designers, the work of Venezuelan-born Pablo Pardo is deceptively simple, often made from no more than a couple of materials, beautifully crafted and devoid of superflous details. Once in use, however, Pablo's lamps take on a new character that is much more experiential than simply visual. It is the experience rather than the look of an object that Pablo sought in his designs.

Re: Spring Azure
It reminds me of the butterfly used in "Lunesta" commercials and ads.
The Lunesta butterfly looks like it is radio active. Not something I want visiting me in my sleep. Sorry, but yours is just to close. It's one creepy bug.
I generally like butterflys. Not your fault big pharma has turned them into something evil.

Agree. It's a sweet design.
Re: Ruff Easter
As a heads up, this is rejectionable. Given that it is Wednesday, that may not happen, but things to consider for future submissions:
No more than 6 spot colors. If you use halftones, provide a detail shot to show the size.
Must use one of the available woot shirt colors. This mustardy yellow isn't on the list.

because they are knives, not swords. I can see what your saying. I do appreciate the comment. I looked at it as they were both hiding knives under the table. ;) maybe I will rework it someday for it to read clearer.
Kick ass. I'd still be wearing this in by Winter time. :^)

Cities in the South carry their fair share of American history, quaintness and Southern charm, and historic Macon is no exception. Located at the fall line of the Ocmulgee River in central Georgia, Macon has been referred to as "The Heart of Georgia," with a convenient central location just 85 miles from big-city Atlanta.
Searching for Macon apartments for rent should be no difficult task, as the mid-sized city houses thousands of college students each year at its numerous colleges and universities. A city with a history, Macon has taken tremendous strides throughout the last decade, establishing itself as an energized and growing center of Georgian commerce.
Macon is leading the way in creating viable, energetic Georgian communities. In 2012, Macon consolidated with outlying Bibb County. Prior to the consolidation, Macon's population came in at 91,351.
Historic downtown Macon and nearby Mercer University are currently working on intensive downtown revitalization projects, attempting to recapture the walkability and charm of pre-World War II Macon. Neighborhoods like Huguenin Heights and College Hill are blazing the path of urban restoration, attracting students, young professionals and faculty alike with their attractive, mixed-use neighborhood vibe. Restored Macon apartments and historic single-family homes give the downtown area a true up-and-coming scene.
While inner Macon recaptures its identity as a livable hub of history and culture, surrounding Macon areas in Houston, Monroe and Peach counties still attract suburbanites. A public bus system makes traveling within the city easy for those who are so inclined, and Greyhound buses connect Macon with bustling Atlanta. With both rural Georgia and urban Atlanta nearby, Macon residents can enjoy a variety of vistas all with a day's drive.
Home to Wesleyan College, Mercer University and Macon State College, Macon's student demographic makes up a large percentage of its population. In addition to its traditional colleges, Macon is also home to Central Georgia Technical College, as well as a variety of satellite campuses. Wesleyan College remains a top choice for women, having been the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women.
In addition to students and faculty, Macon's workforce represents the town's true spirit. Macon's job market continues to grow as downtown revitalization attracts small business entrepreneurship and personal investments. In addition to small businesses, the top employers in Macon County are Bird's Eye Foods, Watkins Engineering and Weyerhaeuser Company.
The cost of living in Macon is significantly lower than that of the rest of the country. The mean home value was approximately $136,680 at the end of 2011, compared with $216,578 nationally. Macon's affordable living costs carry over into rental prices. The median rent asked is $538 per month.
Due to the influx of college students during late fall, it is advisable to hunt for apartments a few months ahead of time. If you'd rather stay out of the way of college students or prefer the suburban lifestyle, apartments near Macon are also a viable option.
Macon is home to numerous attractions and special events, many of them charming and storybook Southern. The international Cherry Blossom Festival, held during mid-March, attracts visitors from around the world who come to see Macon's 300,000 flowering Yoshino cherry trees. The Georgia State Fair is also held in Macon, offering visitors plenty of old-fashioned Southern food and games.
Visitors to Macon will also want to check out its numerous historic tours. Macon's historic homes, cemeteries and Civil War-era trails give visitors a more accurate vision of Macon than modern malls and highways. Macon's Rose Hill Cemetery Tour, Historic Walking Tour and Antebellum Trail are just a few examples of Macon's guided Southern hospitality.
