The Space
This self contained unit has separate entrance and facilities. It is a bedsit with small kitchenette with all necessary facilities such as fridge, table top stove, toaster, kettle and washing utility and (website hidden) and dvd player. There is a shower and toilet and a study/work area with excellent broadband wifi access. It has a double bed. It opens onto a pool set in a tropical garden with outdoor eating area. It is self-catering and good white linen is provided and changed weekly. Area is central and safe in the quiet leafy and safe suburb of Musgrave/Berea near a shopping mall, cinemas, restaurants and 10 mins by car to the beach or to the Conference Centre. We are also close to research facilities such as the Killie Campbell Museum, Match, UKZN. There is secure parking in the garden and a metered taxi rank within walking distance.
Ideal place for longer stays especially for researchers. We offer special rates for longer stays on application.
The Neighborhood
It is a safe friendly neighborhood with most amenities in walkable distance. Lots of restaurants and cafes and shops. The area is most suitable for researchers as we are near the universities and also the medical centers where many of our guests do research and internships.
The accommodation is for registered guests only. We also expect to be alerted if and when a friend visits as we do not allow strangers on to the property. As most of our guests are here on work related projects we also ask guests to keep noise levels low and at reasonable hours. We do not permit smoking in the apartment and we expect our guests to respect the property and keep it clean and tidy. Our property is not suitable for children.
Upon our arrival we were warmly greeted and made to feel at home quite immediately. Carol and Keith were very friendly and showed a keen interest in getting to know us. They were very helpful and were always keen to answer any question that we may have had.
The Studio Cottage was impeccable and very homely. We quite liked the style and the way in which the different decorative aspects of the place blended into each other. The classical and modern art paintings on the wall provided a chic yet homely atmosphere which was further enhanced by the books on the shelves available for the guest to read. The cottage was well furnished and the hosts can be commended for having anticipated for any eventualities that may have slipped the traveler's mind (as it so often happens) - from bathroom accessories to kitchen utensils.
The fact that the place is situated in very close proximity to a shopping centre and restaurants, it allows one to take a pleasurable 10 min walk to the shops. In general, it has been a pleasure to stay at Carol & Keith's place and there is no doubt that it has been ticked on our list of future places to spend our holidays again.
Carol and her husband welcomed us very warm and friendly, even for our big car they found a place. The small appartment in the garden was very clean and nice. We got very good tips for visiting Durban meanwhile our 4 days stay. That area of Durban is very quiet and nice.
Carol and Keith are very kind and helpful hosts! I enjoyed staying at their apartment in a quiet and safe area in Durban.
Arriving felt like a warm welcome. Thanks for our valuable conversations, dinner and your help, you made my stay by helping with giving just the right tips.
The cabin is nice, private, views a beautiful swimming pool and some heart-warming pets.
Would for sure come back, when in Durban!
Thank you Carol and Keith. A true home from home! The cottage was perfectly located, comfortable, quiet but also very close to shops and restaurants. The cottage had everything you need to feel at home. I will definitely be staying again next time I am in Durban. Highly recommended!
I was in Durban for the Indaba travel show- on business. As a hotelier and tour operator I wanted to escape the hotel and tourism crowd just for a bit :) I myself also own b&b, technically grew up in, so I always try to get that homey feeling at times during my travels.
I do not want to be harsh to Durban, but if it wasn't for Indaba I would never have visited it, partially for my ignorance about the city and partially because of iffy rep that the city has...
I can say now that I was soooo wrong ! As a hotelier, the importance of first impressions has been studied by many and implemented by few. I was blown away during my initial arrangements with Carol with her graciousness from arranging my car service to answering all of my questions before and during my stay.
I was a bit late with my arrival to her place but that was not a problem, I was sooo blown away - yet again, with the welcome that I got from Carol and her husband! The loveliest couple in the world !! As I was being shown the way to the lovely cottage, I was sooo charmed with the whole ambiance and had feeling that I am in the middle of "the midsummer night's dream" :) lights, nice pool and the lush garden with bohemian feel to it, made me forget why I was there.:)
Cottage is lovely, very clean and follows the cohesiveness of the whole place. It is located in a nice and convenient area of the city and close to the taxi station from where you can cheaply go anywhere. Also, very close, walking distance to the botanical garden - must see!
On your way from and to the airport, PLEASE ASK CAROL for car arrangement! Driver is their friend and charges less than any other taxi or car service (cars and taxis can be a bit shady in Durban).
My only regret is that I didn't get a chance to spend more time with Carol and her husband because of my work for they are such worldly and hospitable people - sorry Carol, I hope next time I will have more time:).
So don't think about should you book or not, just book it and have great time !
I had the most FABULOUS stay at Carol's place! As I was trying to book from the States she helped me out with any questions I had before I booked. The pictures do not do her accommodations justice! The decor, the vibe, the peacefulness of her studio and cottage are really welcoming and warm with an artsy edge. Simply amazing. Upon arrival Carol and Keith provided me with maps and recommendations of the surrounding area. The Musgrave area is simply gorgeous. It's safe and walkable to any other cool neighborhood you would like to visit. There is a local craft market down the street every Saturday that is a must. If you are a foodie, you must check out Cafe 1999 and Unity just a 10 minute walk from Carol's place. You can also easily catch a taxi or minibus down to Durban City Center to spend the day at the beach. If you like to shop, Musgrave Center, a huge mall is a 2 minute walk away. They have everything from grocery stores, clothing stores, restaurants, and a cinema. If you would like to spend a quiet afternoon communing with nature, the Botanical Gardens are right down the street where you can sip a coffee, eat some crumpets, and watch exotic birds fly around the amazing foliage. Really though, Carol's own garden and pool area are actually just as beautiful as if not more so. You are surrounded by pink, yellow, and red flowers, with bamboo and palms swaying in the breeze. You can bring your laptop out to the garden and (website hidden) with friends and family as the wifi connection is great!
If you are coming to Durban for a long or short stay this is THE place to be.

I am an art curator working in South Africa and internationally. My husband Keith and I enjoy hosting people and therefore find airbnb a great occupation. We have a house which is over a hundred years old which we have modernized over the years. The self catering apartments are all in our tropical garden and guests enjoy the peace and calm whilst being close to the city. We have always and still travel extensively with Paris being a favorite destination. We also collect art which enhances our environment.

Iraqi security officials said last week that al-Qaeda has lost 40 % of its spiritual and military leaders so far this year, as a result of the high-quality operations carried out by security forces.
"Military and intelligence reports confirmed this percentage, as more than 70 senior leaders with the ranks of wali, emir, military commander, or religious mufti, were killed or detained this year as a result of daring operations conducted by the security forces of the ministries of defence and interior," said Colonel Dhia al-Wakeel, official spokesperson for the ministry of defence.
"These arrests seriously weakened al-Qaeda. [The organisation] has fallen into a state of disarray, clearly seen in the way its members are conducting indiscriminate strikes, in addition to the speed with which its low-ranked elements were arrested in various cities," he said.
"This does not mean al-Qaeda has become paralyzed or that it will be unable to launch major terrorist attacks in the future, but it has seriously curbed those attacks," al-Wakeel said. "If it were not for the security forces' sustained efforts in their war against terrorism, the country would have turned into daily bloodbaths."
"The daily battles by security forces against al-Qaeda have made them the best security force in the region in street warfare and the pursuance of terrorists," said General Ali Ghaidan, commander of ground forces in Iraq.
"Since the beginning of 2012, security forces have managed to kill prominent leaders, some of whom occupied the post of wali, in the provinces of Anbar, Salaheddine, Ninawa, and Baghdad," he said. "Others killed held the rank of religious mufti, judge, or minister in the 'Islamic State of Iraq', and some were registered to conduct so-called martyrdom operations. Dozens others were arrested and thrown in jails."
"This, by itself, is a great victory for security forces in their war against terror," Ghaidan aid.
"Security forces still need training, improved military efficiency, and good armaments, but they are morally fortified, have high spirits in the fight against terrorism, and a sincere loyalty to the homeland," he added.
"The number of al-Qaeda elements in the country is very large, so arresting or killing a large number of them will not have an immediate effect on the ground, but it will certainly be influential as security forces continue their operations," said Ali al-Dabbagh, spokesperson for the Iraqi government.
"Iraqis have no choice but to continue the war against terror until the end, especially now that security forces have made their transition from a defensive to an offensive strategy and started to launch large-scale attacks on the strongholds of terrorism," he added.
Aifan al-Essawi, secretary of the Iraqi parliament's defence and security committee, said he was concerned about the continued terrorist bombings in Iraq.
"This confirms the need for Iraqi security forces to increase their efforts and seek assistance from developed countries in order to speed up the process of eliminating al-Qaeda," he said.
"Security forces are achieving great success in making arrests and uncovering weapons caches, but terrorist attacks continue because al-Qaeda has numerous cells in Iraq," al-Essawi said.
"These security gains should not cause us to become complacent, declare a premature victory, or enter into a recession, because al-Qaeda is bound to re-organise its ranks in a larger fashion," he added.

I don't remember how many years ago I first saw this recipe, but I've been using it ever since. It's the only way I cook yams. I misplaced my recipe and was so glad that it was still available. I believe that the original recipe used apples and sweet potatoes cut in 3/4 inch cubes, although I cut mine into smaller cubes, about 5/8 inch. It also called for covering the pan only during the first 25 minutes of baking. Maybe that's why Kasie's turned out soggy. Mine has always turned out delicious and never soggy or bland.
Hubby loved it. Would be just as good without apples.
Bland and everything came out soggy. Won't make again.

Mint isn't a traditional Irish flavor, but the color of the green mint mousse in this tart lends itself so well to St. Patrick's Day celebrations, I had to tie them together somehow! The Mint White Chocolate Tart takes a little bit of effort to make with its multiple steps, but the end result is fluffy, subtly sweet and has a perfect hint of mint.
Bring the bold flavors of
ginger and sesame to a
variety of meals.
Eggs Benedict, like this Cheesy Eggs Benedict, is the quintessential brunch dish, but it sure can be challenging to serve to a crowd with so many last-minute elements – toasting English muffins, poaching eggs and making hollandaise sauce. Of course, it can be made easier by toasting all the muffins on a sheet in the oven, and by poaching your eggs the day before your brunch. More ...

Launch of fashion design platform, during Moda Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal, Sunday 15th of March at 3pm at CASA DA BALANÇA
Awaytomars is not a fashion brand - it's a platform for democratic design to flourish. It is essentially an online platform in which designers can submit their designs for approval of the social community of ATM. This means each and every user of the platform can comment and intervene on another designers work. After that, measuring the level of online interaction will determine if a design is viable for production and if so, ATM will themselves produce and then sell these 'previously approved' collections, always giving a percentage of each item to its original creator.

Kelly Clarkson's been covering a different song pretty much every night on tour right now and we've already posted covers of Fun. and Gavin DeGraw, but it's time for Clarkson to bust out some rapping!
The pop star, who was in Eminem's hometown of Detroit on Friday, whipped out a hoodie and prepared the audience for the cover of Lose Yourself by telling them, "When you listen to him on the radio and sing along in the car, you're a lot more badass than you actually are bceause when you get alone without Eminem doing it with you, it's not as good."
Clarkson then goes on to sing/rap the Eminem hit – and we think she did a surprisingly great job! As soon as she finished, she told the crowd, "That was hard as hell!"
Watch the cover below! Do you think Kelly can rap?

Finally, I receive an email from ace Australian promoter Tim Pittman, the man behind the Tales From The Australian Underground compilations (and also a fine Sunnyboys reissue - think Radio Birdman, and you won't be far wrong).
Yep, these are some Sunnyboys, all right.
For mine, the term 'garage rock' is widely abused these days, mostly stemming from The Strokes/White Stripes surge in the early Noughties. Quite how they got the moniker escapes me. Lazy journalism I think.
My own definition of garage - or '60s punk as we used to call it - is the type of bands found on Nuggets, Pebbles, Boulders and in Australia on Ugly Things. However, I can agree that there was a strain of garage-rock (or '60s punk)-influenced bands unique to Australia during the late '70s and until the late '80s. For the most part, these bands (Lipstick Killers, Lime Spiders, The Stems, Wet Taxis) were initially introduced to these sounds by Radio Birdman, who had covered many of the tracks by the original punks in their set (13th Floor Elevators, Remains, Outsiders) as far back as 1976. The Saints were on another tangent, covering '50s standards from Elvis to Connie Francis to Del Shannon, though they do a smokin' cover of the Missing Links' 'Wild About You' on their debut.
The Lime Spiders were kings of this. Their earliest repertoire was almost exclusively covers of '60s punk, but it was so obscure hardly anyone knew it! It was all toughened up but it was still great. Then they started to write their own songs. Oh well...
There were plenty of other bands who were less faithful to the original sound but still covered these bands in their earlier set. The Scientists, for instance, used to perform tracks from The Standells and The Seeds, but they also covered Suicide, Big Star and Leonard Cohen, so they were never straight copyists. The Hards-Ons, too, would cover The Elois and The Choir (among others) next to covers of Kiss and Ramones. The Eastern Dark would cover the D-Coys and The Stoics next to covers of The Soft Boys and the Descendents. And the Sunnyboys seemed to (unwittingly) latch onto the garage-Beatles stylings of the Remains and use it as a template for (again unwittingly) a successful chart career.
Some of the best current Oz bands boast a Tumbleweed connection.
It seemed to me that a new generation rebelled against that sound in the late '80s and moved onto more contemporary indie-sounds. Tumbleweed carried the flag for a while, covering "Mr. Pharmacist" and other gems for a younger audience, but they were isolated and shunned by the older garage brigade.
In more recent times, the bands that have best exemplified this style are The Pink Fits (ex-Tumbleweed), who are super raw - like The Mummies - and play all original material, and The Unheard, who are also ex-Tumbleweed and who play super-heavy distorted versions of Ugly Things classics. Geelong's Frowning Clouds - like The Stems previously - are very faithful to the '60s punk sound. Eddy Current, it could be argued, are also very garage, but I've not known them to cover any of those bands, and they always seemed to me more like a cross between The Kinks and the Modern Lovers than that stoopid Saints and X comparison people make.
Anyway, here's a non-definitive list of ten top Oz garage bands.
Purple Hearts - originals
Missing Links - originals
Black Diamonds - originals
Radio Birdman - for introducing it all.
Lipstick Killers - post-Birdman, the first real '60s punk jukebox. One killer single.
Sunnyboys - for introducing it to the mainstream
Lime Spiders - for opening up the Pandora box of '60s punk.
The Stems - for being so faithful to the sound.
Hard-Ons - for putting the snot back in.
The Pink Fits - for bringing it all back again (with added fuzz).
Oh, and five comps.

'States, councils' joint accounts hinder wage payment'
The National President of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Ibrahim Khaleel, has faulted the joint account by states and councils, saying it is unconstitutional.
He said it is delaying the implementation of the N18,000 minimum wage to local government employees. He said deductions being made from the joint accounts have affected the councils as they cannot meet their financial obligations and discharge their responsibilities to the people.
He argued that if the statutory allocations are received directly by the local government, they would not have remained in the current situation where they are unable to meet their obligations on how to implement the N18,000 national minimum wage.
He urged the governors to respect the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution on the independence of the third-tier of the government to control their funds and implement their programmes of action at the grassroots. He also urged the states to assume responsibility for teachers' salaries to ease the burden on the councils.

Due to decreasing the business of hotels & other types of tourist business the budget hotels & many more deals are offered from hotels, lodges & restaurants all over the world.Mohammad Zohaib Khan from Atlanta
We've had a period in which people could get away with not being of the highest quality. We're now in an environment where you have to do quality. Poor value for money and poor service costs jobs and will cost more jobs in a recession.
Threadbare towels, a previously owned bar of soap and a grumpy person who says: 'We don't do breakfast before 8am and we don't do it after 8.12am' – you don't get a lot of happy customers.
So it remains to be seen whether Britain's budget-hotel industry really will reap the benefits presented by a recession. Figures from Asia suggest such success is not a given. China's cheaper operators are indeed going from strength to strength. The Financial Times reports that, "Shaun Rein of China Market Research Group forecasts 12 to 15 per cent revenue growth in budget hotels next year." But in Singapore, the sector is doing badly. For the month of November, its year-on-year figures were comparatively worse than those of Singapore's more upmarket hotel sectors.
Budget hotels certainly have an opportunity to make money in the recession, but they must still provide value. After all, an $80 room can still be over-priced.


text: HomeDigitalNews Giacchino in tune with toons Email Print +Talk +G+ +Tweets October 12, 2010 | 05:00AM PT Composer views animation no different than live action Jon Burlingame @jonburlingame Composer a storyteller first | Giacchino & Abrams | Giacchino in tune with toons | Giacchino scores with games, rides | Composer honored for work with non-profit "Nothing infuriates me more than when people say, 'You must love working on kids' films," says composer Michael Giacchino. "What are they talking about? Why does animation denote 'kids' films'? "When I watch those films, I'm not watching animation, I'm watching this beautiful story being told. They're telling a story that just happens to be animated." Giacchino's track record in animation is enviable: For Pixar alone, "The Incredibles," "Ratatouille," "Up" and he's now starting work on "Cars 2." His nostalgic, sometimes bittersweet waltz for Carl and Ellie, the childless couple in "Up," drew unanimous raves last year and resulted in Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Grammy wins for the composer. "He's fun to work with, but underneath that easygoing nature, he's very sensitive," says "Up" director Pete Docter. "He can instinctively get a sense of what the picture needs, and he adapts himself to what's required. He could tell, from the first screening, that we needed something simple that represented this loss, this unfinished dream that this couple shared. He wrote that first. From that point on, we just fell in love with him and his work." Director Brad Bird recalled that meeting Giacchino "was like meeting an old friend from when you were growing up," a not dissimilar sentiment that "Lost" creator J.J. Abrams shared about the composer: "We loved a lot of the same stuff, movies, composers. … It was the kind of rapport that you have with somebody you've known for a long time." But, Bird adds, "The Incredibles" was "a tall order, musically, because I wanted it to have this brassy sound that we connect with spy and adventure films from the 1960s. That's a very specific thing to do without sounding like you're parodying it. I wanted to be affectionate toward that sound but also have it really work as movie music." Giacchino delivered, leading to another Bird collaboration on "Ratatouille," which earned the composer his first Oscar nom. (Says Docter: "Brad would not shut up about him.") And then there are the animated short subjects, like Pixar's "One Man Band," "Partly Cloudy" and "Day & Night." Says the composer: "Those are like extra classes at school. They keep you creative. I love that exercise, solving problems — and those shorts are awesome." Want Entertainment News First? Sign up for Variety Alerts and Newsletters!

Isaiah Rashad - Like That
Artist: Isaiah Rashad
Producer: Chris Calor
Album: Fake Trill EP
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 17 votes )
On the first single and title track off his next street release, Isaiah Rashad told us about some sh*t he don't like: namely, Fake Trill individuals who make their real counterparts look bad. For the follow-up, the Chattanooga rhymesayer's focusing on the positive. Like That finds project collaborator Chris Calor cooking up a blissfully mellow, sampled street instrumental to back bars dedicated to a few of Rashad's favorite things—including swisher blunts, rozay, and your girl. Murfreeboros neighbor Rob December rides shotgun, juxtaposng the pleasures of weed and liquor with the stresses of his everyday hustle on the back. Time to weigh in, Booth readers: do you like this sh*t? If so, keep it locked for more fresh song releases leading up to the as yet unscheduled arrival of Rashad, Calor and December's Fake Trill EP.

It has style to burn, eye-catching acting by an international cast and a story that harkens back to many literary classic with its themes of a family torn apart, brothers in conflict and a son's rivalry with a towering father figure.
When Coppola finds creative nirvana, he frequently has trouble delivering the full goods. Tetro represents something of a middle ground in that respect.
