Accenture launches upgraded banking technology platform at NCB
Accenture has successfully completed the core system replacement of the retail banking operations at the National Commercial Bank (NCB).
The highly complex project which took approximately two years to complete, was part of NCB's NextGen programme, also undertaken with Accenture. The improved platform provides clients with a distinct banking experience, enriched with additional features and a 50 per cent reduction in turnaround time for key processes.
"Launching this project will further enhance the digital development of our financial and banking operations and help expand NCB's base in Saudi Arabia to become the leading digital bank with outstanding customer service. It also reinforces the bank's efforts to develop its digital infrastructure by providing the best banking standards that reflect positively on the customer's experience," said Firas Al Turki, Head of Shared Services Group at NCB.
The platform, which will be deployed across NCB's network of 374 branches throughout the country, plays a pivotal role in the core banking system's data-driven transformation. The Accenture team, which supported NCB from the outset, was responsible for strategic programme management, core system transformation and change enablement. Commencing with a team of five, the project later expanded in scope to include 25 members from 18 countries at its peak.
"Working closely with NCB, we were able to achieve several key milestones and replace the core banking system in a relatively quick timeframe. We are proud to see our efforts culminate in a grand-scale transformation and are pleased that NCB will capitalise on this success to speed up processes and increase efficiencies," said Omar Boulos, Regional Managing Director of Accenture in the Middle East and North Africa.
NCB's in-house team ensured that the implementation, training, and manoeuvrings of the new systems were in line with their unique requirements. The key success factors included direct top management involvement, quick strategic decision-making processes, setup of a dedicated transformation team, and a significant time commitment from the business and IT teams.
"We are delighted to see the results of our joint work and are keen to continue our partnership with NCB. This project will set a benchmark for similar programmes in the region, and we look forward to wider collaborations of this nature across sectors," said Amr El Saadani, Managing Director and Financial Services Lead at Accenture in the Middle East and North Africa.

Five local IHOP restaurants will once again offer guests a free short stack of their famous buttermilk pancakes on National Pancake Day, on Tuesday, March 4. This family-friendly tradition aims to raise needed funds and awareness for T.C. Thompson Children's Hospital at Erlanger, a Children's Miracle Network (CMN) Hospital.
For every short stack of buttermilk pancakes served on March 4, between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., IHOP guests are invited to make a voluntary donation to Children's Hospital. Since 2006, IHOP National Pancake Day has raised more than $10 million to provide life-saving treatment, programs and medical equipment for pediatric patients — including the 36,000 patients treated annually at our region's only children's hospital.
"IHOP has been a tremendous partner for us," said Rebecca Brinkley, Children's Hospital CMN representative. "Even our associates and patients cannot wait to participate in National Pancake Day each year. In 2013, the local restaurants and their customers raised more than $13,000 for Children's Hospital at Erlanger, and we look forward to another successful event this year."
Be sure to stop in at any of the following IHOP locations on March 4 to benefit Children's Hospital at Erlanger:
5814 Brainerd Road, Chattanooga, TN 37411

You will know you are in safe hands when you see our growing portfolio of award-winning apps built for some of Australia's most reputable organisations. Our portfolio helps to ensure you that we are professional developers who can create apps at the highest level of quality. This heavily reduces the risks associated with getting a mobile app developed.
At Code Heroes, we understand that getting an app built can be a daunting process! As a result, we have designed a unique development process that takes our clients step-by-step from project framing all the way through to deployment and ongoing support. By being involved in the development process, you can make sure that we are building your app the way you want it.
By using a cross-platform mobile development technology called Xamarin, we are able to write code for your app just once yet deliver to multiple mobile platforms (Android, Apple and Windows). This differs greatly to other development companies using platform-specific technologies, who would need to write code again for each platform ( x3 for Android, Apple and Windows). This increases efficiency and development time which saves you both money and time over the life of your project.
Once your app is delivered to the app stores we can help you with marketing your app. App marketing is a specialty field that most mobile app development companies in Brisbane do not offer. By using a combination of app store optimisation and paid install methodologies, our app store marketing process guarantees increased installs, retention rates and app store chart visibility. Increasing user engagement can dramatically increase return on investment.
Once your app has been delivered to the stores or your workforce, we can provide you with quantitative app performance analytics. This allows you to track informative data including downloads, retention rates, user navigation in the app, bug reports, crash data and other variables. This enables our you to track your apps success and provide valuable information to help drive future improvements to suit your users needs.
Our head office is located in Brisbane's CBD. If you're also Brisbane based this means that we are able to meet face-to-face in our offices to discuss your project. This convenience dramatically reduces risks and problems associated with off-shore developers.
When sourcing our employees, we undertake a rigorous recruitment process. This process involves multiple interviews, personality profiling, strength identification and skills testing. This ensures that we only get the best on our team. As a result, we build apps at the highest level of quality, ensuring that you will not receive a faulty product.
Prior to launching your app, we undertake a thorough app testing process. By combining in-house, out-sourced professional and real-world testing, we are able to identify and fix any bugs or issues that the app may have prior to release. This dramatically reduces risk and improves the general quality of the app.
By offering ongoing app maintenance services to all of our previous, new and existing clients we are able implement changes or updates that your app needs. We consistently review app analytics, user feedback, reviews, and monitor operating system updates. This allows us to improve the user experience, and happier users means user ratings and reviews - resulting in increased visibility in the app store charts.
Our experienced team come from a range of web and app development backgrounds. We have assembled a team of experts in concept, game, brand marketing and business process apps to ensure we can take on any project. So no matter what your app is, we've got you covered.

Identification of a non-traditional pathway for spiriting a cancer-promoting protein into the cell nucleus points to a possible combination therapy for esophageal cancer and indicates a mechanism of resistance for new drugs that attack the Hedgehog pathway.
A team of researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reports in the March 20 Cancer Cell that the mTOR molecular pathway promotes the activity of the Gli1 protein in esophageal cancer development and progression.
"The Hedgehog pathway is the established, or canonical, pathway for activating Gli1. We've shown a clear-cut mechanism to link all non-canonical activation of Gli1 through a single pathway, TOR," said senior author Mien-Chie Hung, Ph.D., vice president for basic research, professor and chair of MD Anderson's Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology.
"Crosstalk between these two pathways is a challenge, but our experiments showed a combination of the mTOR inhibitor RAD-001 (Everolimus®) and the Hedgehog inhibitor GDC-0449 (Erivedge®) steeply reduced the tumor burden in a mouse model of esophageal adenocarcinoma," Hung said.
Both drugs have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in other types of cancer.
Both pathways active in aggressive human cancer
An analysis of 107 tissue samples of human esophageal cancer tumors showed that 80 (74.8 percent) had a marker of mTOR promotion of Gli1 and 87 (81.3 percent) had the version of Gli1 activated by Hedgehog.
Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, with fewer than 20 percent of patients surviving for five years, the study notes. And it has become more frequent in the United States by 5 to 10 percent annually since the 1980s. Inflammation and obesity are thought to be driving factors in this increased incidence, Hung said.
The researchers used experiments with cell lines, mouse models and human tumor samples to demonstrate how Hedgehog and mTOR, both implicated in esophageal and a variety of cancers, converge on Gli1.
Slipping Gli1 into the nucleus
Gli1 is a transcription factor - a protein that moves into the cell nucleus where it binds to and activates other genes. Gli1 normally is held out of the nucleus by a protein called SuFu, which binds to it at a specific region.
Hung said the Hedgehog pathway frees Gli1 by activating a signaling protein called Smoothened (SMO), which blocks SuFu binding, allowing Gli1 to move into the nucleus and activate a variety of genes, including Hedgehog activators.
GDC-0449, approved in January by the FDA for treatment of metastatic basal cell carcinoma, inhibits SMO. Basal cell carcinoma is driven by mutations in the Hedgehog pathway, Hung said, but resistance to SMO inhibitors has emerged in clinical trials to treat other cancers, such as ovarian and pancreas.
"We now believe the mTOR pathway is one source of this resistance," Hung said.
How mTOR helps Gli1Hung and colleagues started with Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNFa), an inflammatory protein connected to development of esophageal cancer. In a series of experiments, they found that TNFa triggers Gli1 through the mTOR pathway by:
Activating the kinase S6K1, which attaches a phosphate group to Gli1 rendering the phosphorylated Gli1 unable to bind to SuFu.
With SuFu thwarted, the phosphorylated version of Gli1 moves into the nucleus and activates genes.
The team developed an antibody to identify the presence of phosphorylated Gli1, providing a possible biomarker of cancer resistant to Hedgehog inhibitors, Hung said.
The team treated mice with esophageal cancer with RAD-001, GDC-0449 or both. The mTOR inhibitor RAD-001 alone had almost no effect. The Hedgehog inhibitor GDC-0449 alone reduced tumor volume by 40 percent. Together, they reduced tumor volume by 90 percent.
Clinical trials of the combination for esophageal and other cancers could be guided by the antibody for phosphorylated Gli1 and the presence of plain Gli1, Hung said, which would indicate a need to use both drugs.
Earlier research by other labs indicates that the AKT and MAPK/ERK also activate the Hedgehog pathway. Hung and colleagues show that AKT and ERK, which both activate the mTOR pathway, appear to activate Gli1 via phosphorylation of S6K1 and Gli1.

We spoke with AMD insiders this morning who said that Bobcat is now confirmed to launch in 2011 after delays on the original release timeframe. We have been told that a single http://www.fcoss.nl/?high-school-essay-on-global-warming High School Essay On Global Warming Bobcat core is massively efficient with a power drain of under 1W. Interestingly however the claims are that is will give around 90% of today's mainstream performance in less than half of the silicon area. When you take into consideration it suppors SSE1, SSE2 and SSE3 instruction sets as well as x86 ISA and hardware virtualisation for server systems you begin to see how much of a deal this could be for AMD. Bikini Kill Anti Pleasure Dissertation Business Plan Pizza http://multiele.net/dbuter-une-dissertation/ Dbuter Une Dissertation The Bobcat architecture uses the same M-SPACE concept and will appear as Ontario APU featuring two Bobcat cores as well as the Northern Islands GPU architecture (DX 11.1) all in a BGA format. AMD are opting for low power drain DDR3 memory and as we reported before with the newer DDR3 low power modules available on the market this will be an ideal pairing for the AMD technology. Ontario APU is the core of the Brazos platform which AMD have yet to detail as they are keeping it close to their chest for the time being. We understand the reasoning as in our conversations with AMD executives in the last year they are keen to point out that Intel have beaten them to the punch a few times when the original concept was actually their own. Brazos is going to be challenging Intel's Medfield platform which is the first mobile phone platform for the Atom on a 32nm process. Given AMD's recent activity we are pretty confident they will come to market with a very competitive product. Share On

Christian college drops 'Crusaders' nickname from its sports teams so it doesn't offend 'global society'
- Maranatha Baptist University in Wisconsin is dropping the word 'Crusaders' from its sports teams
- The college's Crusader mascot will also change
- Executive vice president Matt Davis says there have not been complaints about the name
- Davis says the topic has been in discussion for some time and the Board of Trustees decided 2014 was time to update
- 'Our world has changed since 9/11 and we've become a more global society,' he says
- The word Crusades to some speaks of heroics but for others - namely Muslims - it speaks of bloody murder
- Ibrahim Hooper from the Council on American-Islamic Relations says he 'welcomes the spirit of the change'
A Wisconsin Christian university is dropping the word 'Crusaders' from its sports teams, saying the word doesn't fit with a 'more global society.'
The Maranatha Baptist University in Watertown and its sports teams have used the name since the college's founding in 1968.
The decision coincides with a recent name change, from Maranatha Baptist Bible College to Maranatha Baptist University.
Updating: The Maranatha Baptist University is dropping the name 'Crusaders' for its sports teams and mascot, but says it has not received any complaints about the name
The university's executive vice president stresses that the school has received no complaints about the name Crusaders.
'The heartbeat behind this was not political correctness, but expanded opportunities for our students,' Matt Davis told Fox News.
Davis says the change had long been in discussion among the university's Board of Trustees, who decided that 2014 was the appropriate time.
Tradition: The college has used the name Crusaders for nearly 50 years
The word Crusades - defined by
Merriam-Webster as 'any of the military expeditions undertaken by
Christian powers in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries to win the Holy
Land from the Muslims' - to some speaks of heroics, but for others -
namely Muslims - it speaks of bloody murder.
'Times change and we understand that context changes,' Davis told Fox News. 'Our world has changed since 9/11 and we've become a more global society with the Internet.'
Ibrahim Hooper, communications director at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), told Mail Online that he welcomes the 'Crusaders' change, but said CAIR finds team names or mascots that incorporate race or ethnicity more problematic, particularly those pertaining to Native Americans.
Changes: The school has recently changed its name from Maranatha Baptist Bible College to Maranatha Baptist University
'Our main concern has been with stereotypical and racist team mascots or school nicknames,' he said, adding that he 'welcomes the spirit of change.'
The university is now fielding suggestions from its students, stakeholders and alumni for a new name and mascot for its teams.
'We're having a blast with the process,' said Davis. 'It's a fun process, but it's also a serious process.'
The new name will be revealed in the spring.
The university's mission is to provide a 'Christ-centered, biblically based liberal arts education... providing each student with a platform to fulfill God's plan for his or her life.'

Top – Sussan | Thermolite Jeans – JeansWest | Shoes – Target | 'Holiday Hair' by me
We are currently on holiday in a little coastal town. I spent all of my Summers from the age of 18 months to 17 years and have so many fond memories of growing up here. It is special to be able to bring my own children here. So far we've had fun playing at the beach, feeding ducks, chasing seagulls and introducing my son to fishing. There has also been a spot of shopping, with more planned. I am hoping to share some of my shopping discoveries this week, and maybe a shop tour or two.
The weather hasn't been so kind to us today, so we spent the day wandering the shops, playing board games and chatting. I am enjoying the cooler weather as I am able to try out a couple of new purchases I made recently.
After losing weight (I recently reached my Weight Watchers goal – woo hoo!), and needed to buy some new jeans. I was so excited when a size 12 didn't fit, and I had to buy a size 10! And they did up! I haven't been this size since I started uni 10 years ago, so I am rapt. I am in love with these jeans! They're brand new to JeansWest and they're made of a material called Thermolite that is designed to be cool in Summer and warm in Winter. The feature I loved most about them is that they're LONG! If you're looking for new jeans I urge you to go and have a look at these, because they're super comfy and fit really well. I bought the super skinny style, but they come in three other fits also. They have a higher rise, which I find great as I can wear them to work of with the children and I don't have to constantly pull them up. They were $100, which is more than I would normally pay for one pair of jeans, but I'm so glad I bit the bullet.
I hope all my readers are having a great week, and a relaxing holiday if you happen to be enjoying one at the moment.
Do you have a favourite pair of jeans? Where do you normally shop for jeans? What do you like to wear on holidays?

UK: Partida enters super luxury Tequila sector
Premium Tequila brand Partida is responding to the UK's growing thirst for high-end, 100% agave Tequila by rolling out a super luxury extension to its line.
Patrida Elegante, which will be launched in February this year, comes to the UK after six months of success in the US, and will sit in the highest end of the Tequila market. With an RRP of GBP250 (US$493) and only 100 bottles allocated to the UK, it will be aimed at the country's burgeoning group of Tequila connoisseurs and collectors of luxury spirits.
It has been aged for over 36 months, which makes it the latest example of the 'Extra Añejo' Tequila category. It is presented in numbered, hand-finished bottles with crystal stoppers. Partida Elegante - along with the rest of the Partida range - is being handled in the UK by distribution company inspirit brands.
"Partida has been very happy with the success of Partida Elegante in the US, and we think it will do just as well in the UK," Stuart Ekins, sales and marketing director of Inspirit Brands, told just-drinks. "Partida Añejo sells at GBP40-GBP50 a shot in hotel bars, which means there is a market for expensive Tequilas. The fact is it's no different from a Cognac or Armagnac, but consumers who have enjoyed a fine Tequila are more likely to stick to it because it is something different. We're confident people will pay more than GBP200 for an exceptional Tequila like Partida Elegante."
The new release is the fourth member of the Partida family, which consists of Partida Blanco, Partida Reposado and Partida Añejo.

Forest are unsettling Wilson, claims Lennon as former club try to sign defender
Neil Lennon accused Nottingham Forest of trying to unsettle Celtic defender Kelvin Wilson.
The Championship club have had a £1.5million bid for their former central defender rejected.
Born and bred in Nottingham, however, Wilson is prepared to return home for family reasons.
And Lennon suspects the midlands outfit are capitalising on that knowledge by leaking stories designed to ruffle the central defender.
Dirty tricks: Neil Lennon has accused Nottingham Forest of trying to unsettle Kelvin Wilson (right)
Preparing for the first leg of the vital Champions League qualifying tie with Swedish champions Elfsborg, however, Lennon wants to keep the player but admits he may have to sell if Celtic's £3million valuation is met.
'I have spoken to Kelvin about it,' said the Celtic boss. 'I obviously don't want him to go. I want him to at least play in the Champions League qualifiers and be as professional as he can.
'But there is no doubt there is something naughty going on. It doesn't make me happy, because we don't do that type of thing.
'I don't know where it is coming from. But as soon as the bid was made on Friday, it was out on BBC East Midlands about 20 minutes later. That's not the way you do things.
'The last couple of games Kelvin has played, he has been excellent. He is being as professional as he can. These are edgy situations, where a player might have his head turned.'
Asked if Wilson is agitating for a return to the club he left on a Bosman two years ago Lennon added: "We have to do all we can to convince him to stay. I'd like to think he would want to stay, but I can't say. His home and family are in Nottingham and that's a big lure for him. Some people down the road know that and are using it.
Not impressed: Lennon has hit out at Forest
'I've got plenty of central defenders, which was an area we needed to improve and bulk up on. But as far as Kelvin goes, he is still my number one centre half. Having lost Victor (Wanyama) and Gary (Hooper), I certainly don't want to lose any more players.'
Speculation has been heightened by a report in a Nottingham local paper saying Forest boss Billy Davies will submit a second bid this week.
'Look, we don't put prices on players but £1.5m is well short of our valuation and what we think of him.
'Roy Hodgson was very complimentary about him after the Juventus game, very complimentary. I think he is a top, top player.
'People have different views on him at times but I think we saw what he's all about last year. I just want him to continue as he's a very important player for us, particularly in the European games.
Head turned: Wilson is all smiles at training despite a row over his future
'But obviously there is something going on, people trying to ruffle his feathers a little bit.'
Lennon, meanwhile, has expressed delight with the capture of £2million Ajax left winger Derk Boeriggter.
Former Red: Wilson joined Celtic from Nottingham Forest
The 26-year-old last night penned a four year deal. He could go straight into the squad to face Elfsborg, depending on his recover from an ankle knock.
'We are delighted we have got him. He is the type of player we have been after for quite a while. He is quite pacy and predominantly left-sided.
'There has maybe been a bit of an imbalance there for a while, with James on one side and maybe Samaras on the other. We haven't really had a quick leftie for a while. So he fits the bill for the type of player we have been looking for.
'He also has goals in him. He has been playing for a quality side for the last couple of years, so I'm really pleased we've got him.
'He has got a bit of an ankle problem so we will assess him tomorrow. But if he is okay, he will go straight into the squad.
'He had a bit of a back problem a couple of years ago but he played 30 games last season, so it's not a major issue.
'He just wants to play. He has been in and out of the Ajax side, which is no disgrace because they are a very good side, but I'm hoping he will come here and light the place up for us.
'There is nothing else imminent at the moment. We are working on trying to get a striker in but we have been knocked back on a couple. We are working really hard on it.'

January 2012 hedge fund redemption notifications were lower than they've been since GlobeOp began publishing its Forward Redemption Indicator in 2008.
The indicator stood at 1.85% in January, down from 4.58% in December.
"While January notifications are typically lower than December, this year is also substantially lower than the January 2011 requests of 2.79%," said Hans Hufschmid, chief executive officer, GlobeOp Financial.
GlobeOp suggests the January figure could reflect "typical seasonal reallocation of investments," as investors take out money in January to "redeploy" it in February and March.
GlobeOp's data represents approximately 8-10% of the hedge fund industry, with $173 billion in assets under administration.

The house and property are gorgeous and well appointed. We had everything we needed to complete a relaxing long weekend: comfortable bed, wonderful fireplace and a great kitchen for cooking and baking.Travis2016-01-19T00:00:00Z
The house is just as pictured--lovely, spacious, and beautifully decorated. It was also extremely comfortable with big, cozy chairs and a wonderful fireplace. It exceeded our expectations. The wood-fired hot tub was an added bonus and the location was perfect, close to hiking and pretty walks. We would definitely come back! I would also add that some concerns expressed in earlier reviews were not problems at all for our group of four, such as the privacy issue between bedrooms, and the fact that the smaller cabin on the property was also rented (it still felt very private). All in all, a most lovely home!Elizabeth2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
We had a great time at the Stone Palace! The house is beautiful and the large kitchen is great for home-cooked meals. We enjoyed the company of the two chickens too - lots of fun to have around. Aina and Margie were great hosts and were very responsive to emails both before and during our stay. We'd recommend to anyone who is looking for a quiet retreat. Thanks for a lovely time!Sam2015-03-22T00:00:00Z
We stayed for a snowy February weekend at the Stone Palace. It's awesome: clean, well decorated, and just plain great. Everything is well thought out, seems custom designed and is nicer than the pictures do justice. The host communication was perfect! We spent most of our time about an hour north in North Hampton, MA. If you like Indian, check out India House for dinner there.Zack2014-02-11T00:00:00Z
This home is a hidden gem! Stone Palace is the perfect name for it. Rustic woods, stone, concrete counters and floors, stone fireplace, unique doorways, ancient window facades, are but a few notable characters. From the moment you walk into the home, if you are an artist, there are vignettes in every inch of this home. Did I mention freaking adorable chickens? I needed a home with a big kitchen to bake my daughter's wedding cake. This kitchen was just wonderful to work in. Tina and Margie were available, friendly, and passionate about their unforgettable property. Peace, Paint, and Pen dear ladies, Rob and Debbie CarrDebbie2016-09-03T00:00:00Z
My husband and I had a wonderful time at the Stone Palace! We highly recommend this beautiful place!Sara2014-01-17T00:00:00Z

Bella's lake house provided the perfect "base" for my family to gather for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was roomy enough, clean, and "homey". It's big soft sectional was a comfy place to hang out in and chat, with lots of throws and quilts to get cozy during the grey and drizzly days we were visiting. TV was great. Wifi was super functional. It worked perfectly. We're only sorry we didn't have time to enjoy the fire pit as others have written about.Mary2016-11-25T00:00:00Z
Our host was the greatest, communicating leading up to our stay, making be sure we had the address and answering all my questions. When we arrived we were all pleasantly surprised with the house. It's right on a beautiful lake and the house is better than the pics let on. Anabela brought us more cooking pans even though the kitchen was already stocked. The house was spotless and our weekend perfect!Daniel2016-08-28T00:00:00Z
Bella is a fantastic host! The home is beautiful with every amenity you could need. The home is spacious with a view of the lake from every window and beautifully decorated. From the moment we met Bella she greeted us with a hug and made us feel at home. We felt like we were staying with family. Everything we needed to cook with was at our fingertips in a wonderful kitchen. Two full baths and 1/2 bath are a bonus for multiple people staying. There is cable TV/wifi and plenty of books to read. One of the few homes on the lake with ample parking space. Grocery/convenience/gas/liquor stores are less than 2 miles away and there restaurants and bars within 5 miles. We could not have asked for a better home to spend our New Year/Birthday celebration on. Hopefully we can plan another trip in the summer and enjoy the lake more. You cant go wrong staying in this home from Bella. Both are gems!Sherri2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
What a beautiful place! I wish we had more time to enjoy it! We were vending at the Big E and really only used the house for sleeping and cooking, but it was wonderful to be able to relax here instead of having to go out for our meals. Plenty of room for us and our friends that were helping us out at our booth. Thank you for the wonderful stay!Kristie2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
Bella was a great host and the house was wonderful !Kim2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Two of my co-workers traveled with me to Anabela's house. They never used airbnb so they were not so convinced before we arrived. But when we left, they said they definitely use airbnb next time they travel. Anabela is a very friendly and caring host and we really enjoyed our staying in her beautiful house.Lei2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
Bella was fantastic. Great communication. She was very welcoming and had all the amenities we needed in the house. The house was very clean and tidy. Great experienceJoe2016-10-02T00:00:00Z
Bella was a fantastic host to my coworker and me, she was very welcoming and friendly. She has a lovely home - I just wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the beautiful lake.Hillary2016-09-29T00:00:00Z

Tim is awesome! He made us feel like we were his best friends when he introduced himself. The house exceeded our expectations and so full of everything needed to make a family of 5 comfortable. We swam, floated, fished, saw town fireworks from the deck, baby ducks ate right out of our hands!! We played classic board games ( of which there were many!!) Fantastic beds! So comfortable! The house was warm and inviting!! Wished we could have stayed longer and would absolutely return!!Bonnie2016-07-23T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay at Tim's home. We stayed for a few nights during the off-season and loved his spacious house and the quiet of the frozen lake. We enjoyed cooking in the gorgeous kitchen and were very comfortable during our stay. Tim was easy to communicate with, and was helpful and prompt replying to all of our questions. Thank you, Tim, for a relaxing get-away and a great experience!Callista2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
Staying at this house was a slice of luxury in rural New England. The view of the lake alone from the kitchen and the master bedroom was breathtaking. The house was well equipped with any and all amenities one would want/need, and the privacy and quiet of the neighborhood provided the perfect backdrop for much needed R&R. Tim, the host was always on top of making sure we were having a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this listing for anyone looking for a private elegant retreat.Bradford2017-03-28T00:00:00Z
Tim's house was clean, comfortable and accurately depicted. Tim was very easy to communicate with and there if we needed anything or had any questions. Tim was the epitome of what an Airbnb renter should be. Would suggest and recommend his home for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend, stress free weekend on the lake.Brian2016-07-05T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely old farmhouse with a big room for sleeping and hanging out, a kitchenette, and a full bathroom, as well as a pretty front porch with chairs and a table. Diana was a lovely host and we enjoyed the many critters on her property (including chickens, dogs, and cats). It's on a gorgeous country road, but only ten minutes from two town centers (Granby and Southwick) if you need supplies (including the best donuts in New England). We loved staying here!Susan2017-01-07T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely time at Diana's...it was a great place to get out of the city (though if you like to sleep in and are a light sleeper, ear plugs might be in order for when the roosters crow. For us it was no problem as we tend to get up early anyway). The accommodations were comfortable and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Diana even made us homemade scones! It is a farmhouse so don't expect a hotel experience...though we had a sink, mini-fridge (with freezer) and coffee setup which was nice to have. Would stay here again...much more interesting than a motel/hotel!Philip2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
Diana was very welcoming and accommodating! She got us an AC unit and even brought over freshly baked treats. She was very flexible with arrival and departure times too. Great host! She even took the kids on a nature walk. The room is as advertised - not glorified, but great for 3 adults and a kiddo to stay way cheaper than a hotel and a stone's throw to CT. Fridge and table allow you to make basic meals too.Jessica2016-07-31T00:00:00Z

This place is one of a kind! From the moment we booked the place, Luke was very responsive to any questions we had about it--he usually responded within an hour or so. Before our arrival he sent detailed instructions on everything from how to get into the place to how to work everything in the place to what was available and what was not. The house itself is perfect for a big group. There is plenty of bedroom space on all three floors. The main floor is great for gathering as the front half has a wide open floor plan. The kitchen dining room and living room all being spacious and open to each other. The outside space is terrific as well. Even though it rained the whole time we were there we could see that any of the 3 porches (2 upstairs and 1 on the main floor) and the fire pit down by the water could be a nice way to spend an evening looking at stars or the pond. There is lots of woods to explore right up the road in both directions as well. The "neighborhood" consists of one house in each direction about a mile up the road each way. You don't see or hear any neighbors. If you have a large group of people that like a woodsy feel while maintaining the benefits of electricity and running water or if you are just looking for a place to spread out in, Luke's place is great! We are likely to return there!Kevin2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
Luke's home is exactly as advertised, a very quiet, secluded place on a lake. Perfect spot for my family from New York and our friends from Boston to meet right in the middle. Very short drive to hiking, fishing, and the outdoors in general. Great place to unwind and relax.Paul2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

My stay at Catherine and Ryumon's home was wonderful. Everything was so peaceful and welcoming, and they were wonderful hosts. Their dogs are silly and sweet, and there's an old logging trail out back for some walking in the woods. They also prepared a wonderful cold breakfast of granola, fresh fruit and nuts, and almond milk in the morning. Everything was just lovely.Genève2015-07-04T00:00:00Z
What an amazing retreat! I simply can't say enough wonderful things about my time - even though it was short - at Catherine and Ryumon's home. First, it truly did feel like a retreat for me, on-par with (if not exceeding, just because of what I was looking for in such an experience) Kripalu. A beautiful, inspiring place that's very connected with nature. Great for meditation, hiking, and general solo time, while also still being quite close to NoHo and the like. Second, it was just so wonderful to connect with both of them, and with the larger community. I was invited to a fantastic event at the nearby Black Birch Winery, and got a great glimpse of Westhampton. But I also had a chance to have great conversations with both Catherine and Ryumon on Sunday, which really meant a lot to me. (And, of course, if you're in more solo silent mode, you would have plenty of space and privacy to do none of the above!) I hope to go back, and felt so lucky to stumble on this home and couple!Jeanette2015-06-07T00:00:00Z
The location is tranquil yet close to Northhampton. The room is full of light and a beautiful view with a closet and desk, very roomy and comfortable. I have knownthe hosts for many years and they are attentive and caring. It is a lovely spot to relax and replenish, complete with a pond and two friendly dogs. Highly recommend!Linda2015-05-07T00:00:00Z
Catherine's and Ryumon's was a beautiful place to stay in every way. They both made me feel so welcome in their house. They made sure I had privacy and felt at home at the same time. It was one of the most peaceful and beautiful places I've ever experienced. I felt as if I was in a zen temple a million miles away from everything.Anna2015-05-17T00:00:00Z

This is a fantastic listing. A well decorated bedroom with a comfortable den and nice bathroom as well. Mr. Lemay was easy to contact and communicated well. There are several other tenants staying at this property on the second floor (this listing is private and on the third floor), who were quiet and kept to themselves during my visit. I would absolutely stay at this location again in the future.Adam2016-11-07T00:00:00Z
Nice, clean, 100% american. Quet neiborhood and nice park perfect for walking or biking. My initial intent to have communication with real americans was more than satisfied: has good time discussing deep philosophical themes. Thomas loves his home and managed to keep more than century-old house in fantastic condition. He was most generous spending a lot of time driving me all around the city to shop for a bike (I'm not driving car) and then taking me with bike to the hotel at last day of stay.Michael2016-08-01T00:00:00Z
Great place to stay in the area. Entire floor to yourselves with full bathroom and bedroom.Jason2016-10-22T00:00:00Z
Thomas' home is really confortable and clean place. I could stay well during 2 days. I supprised some sancks and fruits in the room. I will visit again this place in Springfield MA. Thanks everything.Hyun2017-03-25T00:00:00Z
Thomas and Marianne's place was very cozy. They are a very nice couple and knows how to take care of their guests. They were very thoughtful and made sure everything was very clean. Had a great conversation with both of them as well. Highly recommend this place.Wendy2016-12-07T00:00:00Z
We loved this place!! Incredibly comfortable, spacious and convenient for getting around the area!Rebecca2016-11-13T00:00:00Z
Thomas and Marianne offer the best of what AirBnB is all about; engaging hosts who provide a very clean, comfortable and quiet living space in a safe, historic, and convenient neighborhood. This is more a suite than a bedroom, with its own separate sitting room and private bath. Thomas and Marianne are readily available to help make your stay the best it can be. I look forward to a return visit next year. Highly Recommended!!Ron2016-09-28T00:00:00Z

Cute, spacious, charming and a perfect escape into the beautiful woods. Kind of like taking a step back in time. Exactly what I was looking for.eva2016-12-17T00:00:00Z
Olaf was incredibly accommodating. We arrived incredibly late but were still welcome. The house/room itself was clean and quiet as well as being very beautiful. It was unfortunate that we had to leave so abruptly without having the chance to get to know him and his other guests.Krystal2016-05-24T00:00:00Z
Olaf made us feel very welcome. The little village just has a grocery store, if you want to eat out you'll have to drive about 20 minutes, alternatively you can bring your own food. Excellent value for money.Louise2015-10-08T00:00:00Z
Very nice, cozy house with everything we needed and beautiful location. Olaf was very responsive, sent clear instructions for checking in, and was kind enough to accommodate our last-minute change of arrival time.Vivian2016-10-10T00:00:00Z
Last minute stop in the Berkshires and Olaf's house about 20 minutes from Lee was a perfect spot for us. Clean, spacious room on a lovely, quiet property, very reasonably priced. Olaf was a great host and guided us there wo any problems. We would definitely stay there again when going to the Berkshires!Kate2016-08-23T00:00:00Z
I stayed briefly overnight on my trip to Boston and Olaf was very pleasant and clear with instructions. I had no problem finding the place and getting settled in even though I arrived after midnight. Everything was very clean and comfortable. I wish I could stay longer in this beautiful part of the country and hope to come back and visit.Junzi2016-06-30T00:00:00Z

You could not ask for a better host and I plan on staying at the home many more times!! Thank you for a perfect, enjoyable stay for my family and I !! Jon Cape Coral, FLjonathan2016-11-03T00:00:00Z
Great house. My wife and I traveled with our kids, including a couple, for a last minute family event. Tim responded quickly and provided a great home for us to stay in. House is brand new, well appointed and decorated. Amazing view. Everything you need is provided. Area is somewhat secluded but there are a few good shops and restaurants nearby. Would like to use the house again for future stays. Thank you for making a difficult event easy.Vincent2017-03-17T00:00:00Z
Tim's Lake House is wonderful, spacious & comfortable house with a beautiful lake front setting and view. The area is very scenic and you can walk to lakefront restaurants and bars. We highly recommend Tim's place and hope to return some day.Stephen2016-11-21T00:00:00Z
The house was a true find for us as it provided the space our team needed. It was close enough to where we needed to go and yet provided a respite. New construction in a beautiful setting We count it as yet another wonderful airbnb experience.Fran2016-11-15T00:00:00Z
The house was beautiful, spacious and very clean. We loved the view and only wish it was warm enough to go outside and spend time on the lake. Tim was quick to provide answers to questions and the house was good for kids 2 plus. Thank you again Tim. We hope you will have us back.Jennifer2017-01-16T00:00:00Z
My friends and I stayed at Tim's beautiful home for a weekend and we couldn't be happier with the house and location! Tim is awesome! He stopped by the house prior to our arrival to clear the snow from the walkway and driveway and turned up the heat in the home. Communication with Tim was great as he responds quickly and was clear with directions and answers. The home was extremely clean and spacious! The home is right on the lake and unfortunately we couldn't take advantage due to snow, but we hope to return over the summer! Definitely recommend this home if you are looking for a getaway, yet with all the conveniences nearby. Also, must try the Westfield River Brewing Company, great food and unique beers! Thank you for everything Tim! :)Jeanette2017-02-12T00:00:00Z
The home is located in a peaceful setting overlooking lake and is always clean and exactly what I expect when I rent from Tim. Tim's communication is fantastic and I look forward to more future stays.jonathan2017-03-06T00:00:00Z
This is a spectacular home, in a perfect neighborhood and really everything I would have wanted in a home was there! This is a great place for a large family needing to relax right on a lake! Great nearby town too!Gregory2016-12-23T00:00:00Z

Everything was good!Stig2016-11-13T00:00:00Z
Martha was lovely and inviting. She has a clean house, a big private bathroom and a cozy bedroom. She was accomodating and made it a very pleasant experience for me. thank you Martha!Gabe2016-11-29T00:00:00Z
This was our first experience with Airbnb and Martha did a wonderful job of making us feel at ease right from our initial communication via email. When we arrived, she was there to greet us and show us her home. She is such a pleasant person that in no time we felt like we were visiting an old friend! Our bed- and bathroom were very clean, homey and comfortable. When the weather changed during our five-day stay, a blanket appeared on our bed. Our towels were laundered halfway through our stay. There was lots and lots of space to put clothes away and to make ourselves feel at home. We were visiting family in the area for a reunion of sorts so we were busy most days with family activities. On the mornings that we were there, Martha had a lovely breakfast of fresh fruits, muffins or zucchini bread, and coffee ready for us! And she did all this while working at her "real" job! Because of all the time we spent with family, there were a few times when we came in quite late or Martha left before we arose in the morning. She always left us a note to communicate. In fact, she was better than we were at doing that! Sorry, Martha. We're learning! And thank you for the thoughtful snack bag that you sent with us on our 900+ mile drive home!! I'm hoping that we have the opportunity to stay with Martha in the future when visiting our Westfield family. I really want a chance to sit out on her porch with a cup of coffee or in her back, "reading" room with a good book. We picked up many helpful tips from observing the way Martha took care of us as we prepare to take the step one day to open up our home to Airbnb guests.Kelley 2016-09-27T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay. Martha is a wonderful host with great hospitality, a warm heart and an incisive mind. She was social and also gave us the space we needed to get rest and get work done in her house. She's offering a great deal! Not only does she offer you your own room and bathroom, she welcomes you to use common areas and provides breakfast, like fruit, muffins, banana bread, coffee… Loved the cheerfulness of the well kept old home which has very nice details- preserved stamped tin ceilings, wood floors... Loved having a big bathroom to ourselves. Nice style. Grocery nearby and a historic town with a great library- all in walking distance. Highly recommend.Leralee2016-09-21T00:00:00Z
Martha was very helpful from the first instant. We were running late due to being delayed in the UK and arrived at her house about midnight. She made us feel as though it wasn't a problem which we appreciated.Paul2016-11-07T00:00:00Z
Martha and her sweet son were the most wonderful hosts. Fresh linens and towels and even a little basket of essentials, in case you forgot anything. She even had fresh flowers in the room, (and in the dead of winter to boot). A wonderful host and beautiful home. I was so grateful to find a safe, comfy place to stay while visiting my family in the area. Thank you!Crystal2016-12-21T00:00:00Z
Talk about the perfect Air bnb, this is my first experience with Airbnb and I can say I'm absolutely thrilled. Martha was an outstanding host, she was kind, accommodating, and above all extremely flexible with our plans. My sister and I rented this Air bnb to visit some family from Western mass, and to see a patriots game. Martha greeted us with a smile on her face every time we saw her, she had baked some of the best zucchini bread Ive ever had, along with amazing chocolate cookies. The accommodations in the room were amazing, the bed was so comfortable with just enough pillows and blankets. The suite is perfect the bathroom is very roomie and she even had small toiletries to make it easy to feel completely comfortable. I could go on for hours about how great this Air bnb was, the next time I go up I have no doubt that I will be booking with her again.Kali2016-12-13T00:00:00Z
This was the perfect place fot me to stay on a business trip. Quite and comfortable, Martha even provides toiletries in case you forgot them and coffee in the morning. The matress is incredibly comfortable. Martha was flexible in terms of my arrival time and is there if you need her, otherwise gives you privacy. Perfect!!!Tim & Leslie2016-11-16T00:00:00Z

The house was very nice, clean and had everything you would need to enjoy your vacation. We would love to go back but in the summer or fall to take advantage of the woods for walks/hiking. Communication with Alexcia was great with quick responses. ☺Roxanne2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
We met friends here for a winter weekend and had a lovely stay. We could not get over how charming and comfortable the house was. The main floor was such a warm space, with a beautiful, well-stocked open kitchen connecting with a comfortable living room where were able to cook while visiting with each other and enjoying the wood burning stove. What's more, everything we needed to know was clearly laid out in the guest binder, which made our stay effortless. Our pup enjoyed exploring the grounds and the much needed large mudroom was of great use considering the unseasonably warm weather and resulting muddy conditions outdoors. We were even able to briefly enjoy the outdoor hub tub one morning which was a treat. Overall we had a wonderful stay and the coordination was seamless given the very helpful communication from Alexcia before, during and after our visit. We are very much looking forward to returning in the future!Emily2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
Loved it! We were looking for a quiet getaway with another couple and lucky enough to find this gem. Alexcia is great. She is so kind and everything was communicated clearly before our arrival. She made the process so smooth and easy. What we loved best: Drinking coffee by the fireplace, soaking in the hot tub after dinner, cooking meals in a well-stocked kitchen, and relaxing in a clean environment. We felt secluded, but, we were also close to shops & restaurants if we wanted to go out. This was the perfect weekend to recharge from our stressful jobs. Thank you so much, Alexcia!Tina and Grant2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
We had an excellent stay at Alexcia's home. She was very helpful and communicative during our stay. The house is amazing and well-stocked with all the comforts of home. Our kids enjoyed the unique swings, abundance of children's books, games, etc. The house is located 5 minutes from Otis Ridge and 20 minutes from Blandford--all great family skiing destinations. We'll definitely be back!Chelsea2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

Dave & Kathy provided me with a lovely room, a super-comfy bed, and a very quiet and clean home. (And when Kathy found I hadn't had dinner, she offered to share some leftovers!) They're solid hosts, very kind and generous. If I hadn't been so tired and in need of sleep, I could've enjoyed the space and their company more. Would definitely return, and the convenient distance to the airport is a real plus for me.David2016-05-05T00:00:00Z

Got there very late and quietly made my way to the room, Kathy and Dave who were asleep on sofa, the dogs never woke. Didn't get lot of chance to talk with hosts as we all seemed to have busy schedules... The tree house is as advertised.. For the handful of Airbnb places in town, IMO this one has the best value.. Feels like home...Daniel2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
Dave was a great host (Kathy was out of town). Our schedule changed last minute and we got in a few hours after we were supposed to. Dave was very understanding and just rolled with it.

The bed is very comfortable. The space is very clean and there's a private entrance to your room. Overall, this place is a great value; Sandy's a great hostess; the neighborhood is scenic and lovely!

Sandy was the most amazing hostess and went out of her way to make sure everything was wonderful. She let me come in a day early so I could miss driving in the big snow storm.

I needed to find a house for a bachelor weekend getaway for my buddy/groom-to-be and a few friends. He loves to fish and relax—a couple of pretty simple requests—but I wanted to make sure I found the perfect lakefront house with access to a canoe, laid back vibes and a good size kitchen to cook. This place did not disappoint. And there was a walk out basement with a ping pong table and pool table to boot. All in all we had an awesome time.Jordan2016-04-10T00:00:00Z
