Urban Oasis was exactly that, a beautiful and comfortable home away from home. I loved starting my days in this greystone and knowing that I get to come back here after the day's adventures are done. Though Stephanie was away during my stay her spirit shows through the house. Emma ,who was looking after the guests, was an immediate best friend and trusted advisor. Awesome times, thanks. Special note: the worlds friendliest and sweetest cat lives here. I may come back just for more cat love ;)Agata2016-08-21T00:00:00Z
Stephanie provided a wonderful accommodation!Elizabeth2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
Urban Oasis is beyootiful! Stephanie and Stephen are super cute and hospitable. The room was located in the best part of town. They could give you plenty of suggestions of awesome places to go. They're so nice; I'd definitely stay there again.Windy2011-10-11T00:00:00Z
The urban oasis is great and so are the hosts, Stephanie and Steven! The area is perfect because you have easy access to good restaurants/bars/L-Train stop, but tucked away just enough so it's very quiet. The guest room also offers privacy because it is a bit separated from the rest of the house. I love their style of decor and everything feels super comfortable. The cats are also very friendly (I'm a cat person), but will not overly bother you (if you're not a cat person). I would absolutely stay here again!Lauren2012-07-11T00:00:00Z
Stephanie was great. She made us feel right at home and was super easy to talk to. She helped with how to get around and with any questions we had about the area. Her place was clean and her pets were very friendly. I fell in love with the neighborhood and her dog:) Definitly a thumbs up from us!Leigh2014-07-08T00:00:00Z
Stephanie was incredibly friendly! Her home is beautiful and definitely matches the description. Stephanie offered some great tips on what to do in Chicago, and her cats were adorable! We would definitely stay again!Morgan2015-08-13T00:00:00Z
Stephanie and her roommate Steven made me feel so comfortable and welcome, that I stayed an extra night. They allowed me plenty of space to do my own thing, but also were sweet enough to hang with me and even take me to the local farmer's market. Their HUGE flat was cozy and well-decorated (both eclectic and elegant) and their two cats were as friendly as could be. Also the neighborhood is full of charming Victorians and big shade trees, and there are loads of hip restaurants and bars just steps away. An all-around delightful accommodation.Richard2011-08-28T00:00:00Z
Stephanie and her housemates, including cats, are great folks. House was clean, breakfast supplies and coffee good. My only difficulty is that the room is very small and dark - a better reading light would be nice. PriscillaPriscilla Mendenhall2011-11-04T00:00:00Z

Bilderna ljuger inte, det här stället är vackert. Värdarna var underbar och mycket hjälpsam. Bonus: mexikansk mat restaurangen nedanför lägenheten och CTA är rätt ut genom dörren. Platsen ligger nära en hel del butiker och smaskiga livsmedel platser. Detta är platsen att bo om du vill vara borta från den hektiska staden.Amber2017-03-30T00:00:00Z
Mi marido y yo tuvimos una gran estancia en el lugar de Dariya! El apartamento estaba limpio, lindo y cómodo. La cama era súper cómoda, y la cocina estaba bien abastecido con ollas, sartenes, etc. También muy cerca de transporte público. Sin duda recomendaría a otros!Katie2017-04-19T00:00:00Z
Aufenthalt gemacht in dariya Platz wirklich unsere Reise nach Chicago genial. es ist eine schöne, sonnige, einzigartige Wohnung mit einem sehr komfortablen Bett, große Dusche, fantastisch Außenterrasse. alles, was wir in Chicago war eine kurze Fahrt entfernt lyft tun wollte. Ich werde auf jeden Fall hier bleiben, wenn ich wieder nach Chicago kommen.Olivia2017-04-24T00:00:00Z
この場所は、工業用レンガの壁の小さなタッチで非常に現代的な、絶対に豪華です。すべてがアパートの新しい超クリーンなブランドです。ベッドは非常に快適で、アパートは1つが自分の家でなければならないすべてのamenititesを持っています。 ダリヤは素晴らしいコミュニケーだったと途方も手伝って、彼女も私たちがすでにチェックアウトされたとき、私たちは私達の袋を保つことができるように階下のレストランの所有者と話をしました。ロドリゴ階下のレストランのオーナーも非常にいいですし、レストランでは、おいしいです! すべての私たちの滞在の上に完璧だったと私は非常に誰にもこの場所をお勧めします。これは、空港から$ 15ダウンタウンにユーバーとほぼ同じです。Krystina2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

This place was beautiful and well kept. It was nice to be close to bars and restaurants but also tucked away. There's a cool little dive bar on the same block so we were able to grab some drinks and watch some local bands which was nice. Plenty of restaurants nearby and downtown was about a 20 min/$20 Uber ride away. The host was helpful and communication was easy which we appreciated. There's a outdoor deck which was nice to have some coffee/ eat some breakfast on. The king size bed was super comfy and soft and the kitchen was stocked w basics. All in all great stay and will definitely be back when we are in Chicago again.Rosie2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

I stayed in this lovely little home with my girlfriend and son. We loved this place! It was so quaint and cozy! We loved the decor and plants around the room. We had looked up the neighborhood like they recommended and we honestly loved the community. We felt safe and had no issues in the community; however, I would recommend to be vigilant at night. There were a bunch of small businesses and locally owned shops and restaurants with authentic Mexican cuisine. We almost asked to move in lol. We also needed to make some adjustments to our reservation and they were very accommodating. We were able to meet Dom in passing and he was sweet and friendly. Overall, a lovely stay and we would highly recommend this place! Special thanks to James and Dom for being excellent hosts and giving us some inspirational ideas for decorating! ;)Danica2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
전체 제품군의 설치 및 설계는 매우 시원했다. 내 친구가 "Rustern"(소박한 + 서양)로 설명했다. 우리는 멀리 시내에서 10 분 동네 짱 타고 있었던 것처럼 위치는 컸다. 기차는 도보 거리에 있습니다. 야고보와 돔은 도시 주변의 다른 지역에서 식사를 할 장소를 제안하는 매우 도움이되었다. 그들은 또한 스위트 룸에 도착하고, 궁극적으로 좋은 호스트했다하는 방법을 우리에게 알려주는 매우 철저했다. 나는 확실히 다시 여기에 머물 것입니다!Landon2017-01-08T00:00:00Z
James and Dom's place was a perfect little getaway. It's only a block away from public transport and parking was easy to find. It's close to the city but still feels very secluded and quiet. Overall a great deal for the price and we would absolutely stay again!Anna2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
I am in love with James and Dom's place and want to live there. The location, the decor, the set up. It was perfect. Compact and efficient. I did a fashion photo shoot there with a team of 9 and even though quarters were cramped, we weren't on top of each other and everything went smoothly. Next time I need an escape from my children I am booking a night to sleep in this relaxing environment. James and Dom went above and beyond with communication, were helpful and readily available.lori2017-03-09T00:00:00Z

Great place two thumbs up!Paul2016-09-23T00:00:00Z
The Roosevelt Suite is very cozy and relaxing! We didn't spend a lot of time there during our visit because we were out sightseeing mostly, but it was a great hub with a cozy bed and private, chill vibe. Parking was tricky and we had to walk pretty far, but neighborhood is very quiet and we felt safe walking at night. The CTA (train) is only 1 block away with easy access, I would recommend using that whenever possible; it runs until about 1am. Oh, and we ate the most incredible Mexican food nearby - definitely check out the neighborhood for authentic eats!!!Kimberly2017-02-18T00:00:00Z

Staying at Dave's place was a great choice. The apartment is beautiful and in a great location. Dave was a great host, giving us everything we needed and consistently asked if we needed anything. He gave us tips on where to eat and easy directions on anywhere we needed to go. I would definitely stay there again.Richard2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
David receives my repeat business due to his very helpful, fun and kind demeanor. He and his roommate were ever ready to assist should I have any trouble getting to their location or even needing advice in the city. His perfect location close to the blue line is an added bonus. Recommend with gusto.Andrew2016-07-18T00:00:00Z
Dave's place is great. It's smack in the middle of a very lively area with lots of bars and great places to eat. T Dave is a great host who will look out for you and make sure you have / know what you need to have a good time in Chicago. Would definitely recommend for a great stay in this great city! Thanks Dave & Dom!Benjamin2016-09-25T00:00:00Z
Heerlijk verblijf met een aantal prachtige jongens! Het appartement ligt direct naast de Damen Blue Line halte en gelegen in het midden van Wicker Park. Fit onze behoeften perfect! Dave en al van de jongens waren zeer meegaand en flexibel en leuk om rond te hangen. Kan niet wachten tot een andere reis naar Chicago, zal ik zeker weer verblijven!Cassie2016-11-12T00:00:00Z
o lugar de Davi é fantasticamente localizado e muito confortável! Há toneladas de estacionamento gratuito ao redor e há falta de coisas para fazer e lugares para comer. Ele está localizado a poucos minutos a pé de uma estação da linha azul que leva você para a direita no Loop. Nós não poderíamos ter encontrado um lugar melhor :)Lilli2017-05-05T00:00:00Z
戴夫和弗兰克的公寓完美地坐落在柳条公园,充满了伟大的(并且很HIP)的餐馆,旧货店和酒吧。地点是超级访问 - 这是对周围距离火车站角落里,这样你就可以在15分钟内的市中心。这是经过漫长的日子游览芝加哥崩溃的理想场所。 Dave和弗兰克是真棒与挂出,并给予极大的建议!Madeleine2017-02-23T00:00:00Z
戴夫是一个伟大的主人! :)我混了到达时间让他去了他的方法,并从早工作到我们。在我们逗留期间,他与所有我们有问题,真正有用的东西来了。这个地方是伟大的,看起来比在图片更酷。它位于一个非常好的和生动的街道在镇的很大一部分,就坐落在蓝线电车是让你在任何时间市中心。它可以得到一个有时有点noisey,因为有楼下的一间酒吧,戴夫告诉我们,提前,虽然并没有打扰我们。如果你想留在用好人一个很酷的地方,这是要去的地方! :)Lisa2016-10-14T00:00:00Z

Our experience at Peter's home was just fantastic. As I host myself - I took notes! The neighborhood is lovely and the home itself is spacious and inviting and the back porch is a great place for morning coffee (well, in the summer anyway!). The fridge was and pantry were stocked with several items and works on a "cookie jar" system. Take a little, leave a little. You are able to easily access the home and a thorough home manual will tell you everything you need to know about the home. Peter was a gracious and friendly host that made us feel most welcome. We would definitely stay again.Amanda2015-07-06T00:00:00Z
Fantastic apartment! I doubt you'll find a better deal in the cityBrian2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
Peter's place was beautiful. Arts and Crafts built-ins and architectural features, beautiful private back deck, big kitchen and dining room. All this with up to date modern amenities with computer, TV, and modern kitchen. Outstanding - a great value.Dale2017-05-23T00:00:00Z
This place was perfect for our Thanksgiving Day dinner. Our host was quick to respond to any questions we had and we really felt at home here. Can't wait to stay in warmer weather to use the deck also. Parking? No problem. We were able to park right out front. We will definitely be looking to stay again when visiting our son. Thanks, Peter for opening your home to us.Cecile2014-11-29T00:00:00Z
Peter was awesome about having clear instructions on how to access the property and the use of the amenities in it. Having a beer available in the fridge and access to milk and chocolate syrup made our arrival so much more enjoyable. He has a stocked kitchen though we tried to not overdo it so only used the Keurig for coffee and a couple of beers but there are spices, oil, butter, cheese, sugar, milk and other staples so that if you plan on cooking you do not have to buy a large container just to use a couple of grams. I had two kids (2.5 and 1 year old) and it was "baby proof" enough that I was not too concerned about them being in the rooms by themselves. There are not a whole lot of fragile items at their level. The condo has really high ceilings and big windows so it is very bright and airy. We were there in the dead of Winter and it was cozy warm but I can see it being a great Spring/Summer setting with the back balcony. The decor is warm and cozy in a very neutral palette, there are tons of cool pictures exhibited throughout and it is evident that everything has been well planned. There is a new Whole Foods right next to the Fullerton subway station so it is a really easy walk (8min or so) and you have access to salad bar and hot food bar so that also helps with easy and healthy meal planning. We brought our car and had to circle the block a couple of times before we found parking BUT we did get parking right in front of the building AND there is still a lot of snow on the ground which makes the street side not be optimized for parking as there are spots in which a car would fit but snow has been packed into it. So I would think in a different time of the year parking might be easier (we did not move the car once we found the spot though). Being right across from DePaul University, there seems to be a bunch of businesses that cater to students so finding stuff to eat should be fairly simple. There is also a library only a block and a half away. Overall a perfect location for our quick weekend getaway to Chicago. We were very pleased and would not hesitate to consider recommending this place to our friends and consider it for our next trip as well.Elizabeth Abigail2015-03-02T00:00:00Z
베드로의 집은 아름답게 장식 된, 성모 마리아 만이 아니었다. 당신이 편안한 숙박에 필요한 weekend.Everything 만 남편과 내가 아침을위한 아침 시리얼과 우유와 커피를 포함하여, 손에 있던 있었지만 아파트는 다섯 가족을 위해 충분했다. 베드로는 명확한 지침을 떠나 훌륭한 의사 소통이었고, 텍스트 또는 전화 메시지에 매우 빠르게 반응했다. 나는 다시 거기에 머물 그것을 전반적으로 우수한 평가를 제공하기 위해 주저하지 않을 것입니다.Sue Ellen2015-10-19T00:00:00Z
Tuvimos una maravillosa estancia en la casa de Pedro. Estaba limpio y cómodo. La ubicación era ideal, ya que fuimos a visitar a un amigo y mi hijo. Pudimos ir andando a entrenar, restaurantes, pequeños cafés para las bebidas. Pasamos cada mañana sentado en la terraza disfrutando de nuestro café con comodidad. Pedro hizo buenos esfuerzos para asegurar nuestra comodidad y piensa en todo. Cuando HZD una pregunta que era fácil de obtener una respuesta rápida por el texto. Estaremos encantados de volver a este lugar.JOHNNIE2015-08-07T00:00:00Z

The location of this listing is superb!! the apartment building is very nice and we felt like we could go in and out without much trouble. She left snacks and soda and milk for us!!Yet, I don't remember reading anywhere that she has a dog and that this is a room inside her apartment and that she and her mother and the dog live there. The room was clean and confortable, beautiful decor, pretty view but the bathroom is outside, and she leaves the door open ALL the time...Abraham2015-07-13T00:00:00Z
Маргарита была чрезвычайно гибкой и легко общаться с. Ее место было большим, близко ко всему, и легко найти. 8-й этаж был тренажерный зал, крытый бассейн и огромный клубный зал. Ее место было так же, как фотографии в Интернете, поэтому не было никаких сюрпризов с точки зрения зрения (URL HIDDEN) из комнаты было удивительно, и кровать была очень удобной. Только неудобно было то, что ее родители оставались с ней неожиданным визитом, так что мы не чувствовали себя комфортно, используя кухню, гостиную и балкон. Кроме того, живет с тремя людьми немного отличается, чем жить с той, которая работает в течение недели, так что мы были разбужены несколько раз, когда ее родители были приготовления пищи на кухне прямо вне спальни. Тем не менее, они были очень хорошие и мы имели большое пребывание в целом.Anita2016-06-25T00:00:00Z
Our short stay here was so lovely. The view is beautiful and it was the perfect spot to the be. We basically walked everywhere and if our next destination was far we would just take a Lyft. Also, Margarita was in constant communication with us and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay with her again.Laura2017-04-28T00:00:00Z

The temperature was perfect, the bathroom was also great. Everything as described in the listing. Thanks Margarita and Aslan. You were the perfect hosts and I will recommend your listing.Laurence2015-11-08T00:00:00Z

I am just back from Chicago with a lot of new experiences and a new friend: Jimmy. He is an outstanding and generous host and his old Chicago style apartment with the Frank Lloyd Wright style bathroom well worth a stay, a memorable stay! CAn't wait to be back in that cozy room Jimmy!Barbara2016-05-16T00:00:00Z
Jimmy's place was the perfect stay for my Chicago trip. Jimmy is a great and interesting guy and he will definitely make you feel at home. The house is big, clean and full of character. The bedroom is large and offers everything you need. I would definitely recommend this to anyone staying in ChicagoFrank2016-07-03T00:00:00Z

Je kunt niet veel beter dan Jimmy's plaats. De locatie is perfect om gemakkelijk noord naar Wrigleyville en het zuiden naar de binnenstad Loop gebied. Het bed was super comfortabel en de kamer is ruim. Jimmy zelf is ook een genot om rond te hangen. Hij heeft enkele geweldige verhalen te delen zodat er zeker van om tijd te maken om rond te hangen. Dit is een eenvoudige re-book volgende keer dat ik een bezoek aan Chicago.Adam2016-10-10T00:00:00Z
Lisa and Jimmy were very welcoming and sociable hosts. They respected my privacy and where also very open for a chat. They provided me with information on restaurants and the nice things to do in Chicago. The room is perfect and very cozy. The location is perfect, it even made me run through the park, while I don't like running. Thanks again for the very nice stay :-).Lisa2014-06-16T00:00:00Z
I had a awesome time. I felt always comfortable with Lisa and her roommate Jimmy. When I arrived they showed me everything and allowed me to store things in their fridge and use their kitchen. My room matched the description (I had the bigger room with the desk). Everything was clean. Lisa and Jimmy were very talkative and hospitable. Public transportation was close to the accommodation. 5 min walk to bus #151 that goes to Michigan Avenue (20min ride) and 15 min walk to the Red Line train that takes you to Downtown, too (10 min ride). The lake is a 10 min walk away. Banks, bars and groceries are close on Clark Street. Recommendations nearby: Food (Five Guys, Crisp, Wiener Circle), Party (Kingston Mines Blues Club), Sightseeing (Lakefront, Lincoln Park Zoo, Wrigley Field). I recommend Lisa as a perfect host. She and Jimmy are so nice, her condo is as described and in a very good location. I felt save all the time. Even my contacts in Chicago confirmed this good and save area. Thank you Lisa and Jimmy for everything. If I will visit Chicago again, I would choose you again without any doubt!Arpad2014-08-30T00:00:00Z

The apartment was wonderful; a lovely apartment inside and out. It was very easy to find and accessible from the airport and from central Chicago by the subway, in a quiet neighbourhood. Meighan provided lots of recommendations for where to eat and drink nearby with an invaluable map for Logan Square. We would definitely stay there again!Cordelia2016-05-14T00:00:00Z
Very chic, very comfortable, and in a very convenient location. The apartment was nicely furnished and the beds were extremely comfortable. Although the apartment was located in an area close to restaurants, shopping, and the Logan Square train station, it was quiet. The area had a good neighborly feel about it. In the apartment, Meighan provided lots of information about Chicago in general (restaurants, things to do, etc.), and she also provided good information about the Logan Square area. The detailed area map was much appreciated. We also enjoyed perusing all the books about Chicago. The bulletin board in the kitchen was loaded with lots of info, advice, and suggestions. The restaurant recommendations were superb. We agree that Lula's, JAM, and Fat Rice are fabulous. And they were all within easy walking distance. We wish we had been able to stay longer so that we could have tried more of the recommended dining spots. In addition to dining out, we liked being able to make a cup of coffee in the morning. And the coffee was really good! We loved the plants in the apartment and in the back yard. Even though it was raining, it was so pleasant to sit on the porch in back, view the plants, and read the newspaper. When we decided to head out in the rain, we were pleased to see that Meighan had placed a couple of umbrellas in the front hall. All in all, staying in this apartment was a truly wonderful experience. We highly recommend it to others. We definitely would love to stay there again the next time we are in Chicago.Beverly2015-10-26T00:00:00Z
Tuvimos una gran estancia en Meighan, Dave y casa de Frances. Ellos eran unos anfitriones increíbles! Logan Square es un barrio de diversión con un montón de lugares para explorar. Navegar por la ciudad desde aquí también fue fácil. La línea azul y sistema de bicicletas Divvy nos permitió rebotar por la ciudad sin ningún problema. Sin duda nos volveremos a alojar de nuevo algún día!Madison2014-06-27T00:00:00Z
absolutely fab place to stay. beautiful appartment, super convenient. felt like I was really staying "in Chicago" rather than an uninspiring downtown hotel.Liz2011-12-14T00:00:00Z
Meighan's apartment is like a show home! It's exactly as it looks in the pictures, very large and clean, and has lots of useful things which aren't mentioned in the description (e.g. some very nice toiletries, a hairdryer, and a great selection of books). There are lots of places to eat within a 5 minute walk - we visited El Cid, Longman & Eagle, and Jam, and would recommend them all. No large grocery stores within walking distance, but the closest one we found was under 10 minutes away on the bus. Only slight negative is that the internet wasn't very reliable, but Meighan was very helpful whenever we texted her about it. She also brought us some spare cupcakes! Overall we had a great stay and would definitely choose this apartment again.Eleanor2012-06-01T00:00:00Z
Meghan's apartment is really cosy and well decorated. It feels like home! The kitchen is fully equipped, everything that's here can be eaten, so you don't have to buy salt or vinegar for only a few days. The neighborhood is calm and only half an hour from the center of Chicago. But it makes you feel so far away from busy city, it's a real pleasure. Having a drink on the terrace or in the garden after a long day visiting the city is quite a treat ! There also are very nice shops and restaurants nearby, and even a cool yoga studio.Fred2015-08-23T00:00:00Z
Staying with Meighan was great once again! The place was lovely and the neighborhood has more awesome places to try out every time we visit. We love staying here!April2014-10-27T00:00:00Z
Gorgeous apartment - I absolutely loved staying here! Meighan was a great host & made the apartment very homey (lots of cooking tools, spices, tupperware, and so on). Highly recommended!Kristen2015-03-27T00:00:00Z

David's apartment is located less than 5 minutes walk to RED line and Wrigley Field. Restaurants and night scenes are also within a walking distant. The room is beautifully decorated, nice and clean. I met David upon my arrival; very nice guy. I would definitely go back again.Ron2016-06-17T00:00:00Z
David's home was wonderful for my quick trip to Chicago. Conveniently located closed to the train station, restaurants, and coffee shops- it was extremely easy to get around. The space is lovely and very well decorated. There are many people staying in this space, so there wasn't as much privacy as I hoped- but I wasn't there much as I was out exploring the city so that wasn't a huge deal for me. I will say the bed is extremely stiff, almost hard. I didn't sleep very comfortably, but I know that some people like stiff mattresses so this may just have been my personal preferences. Outside of this, the space was cozy and David was friendly and easy to communicate with the entire visit.Jenna2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
David made us feel very welcome! The location was perfect! walking distance to wrigley field (a Starbucks is right across the street) and the Red Line is a block away.Drew2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
I truly enjoyed my stay and everyone who lived there was so hospitable. I went out with 2 other ladies staying there on Friday night to see one of the residents perform at an improv show which was nice and spent the night talking and sipping tea with them in the beautiful common/living area. I will be returning again!! Thank you David.Andrea2015-11-21T00:00:00Z
I would recommend this listing if you're considering a visit to Chicago. The location is ideal since it's centrally located, has easy access to public transit, and the accommodations are refreshingly welcoming.The pictures you see online make this place look beautiful, but even so seeing it in person has a special charm. David's place was at once warm and inviting while managing to be interesting and subtly seductive, just like the city. Even with the residents going about their daily lives, the place is neat and organized. And for those of you with cat allergies, I should mention that I have substantial problems with this myself, but was very comfortable with the cat house-member (could be how well the cat is groomed). David is also extremely responsive to his guest's needs and does his best to be accommodating to any requests.Jennifer2016-02-22T00:00:00Z

My friend and I wanted to stay in Chicago for Halloween and Wicker Park was a perfect area. There were a ton of places in walking distance to get food and drinks and the neighborhood was fun and safe to walk through. People in the area were extremely friendly and we ended up going to different Halloween parties with random strangers we met. We didn't get to meet Mindy or Tony but getting into the apartment was easy. The back yard is beautiful and perfect for having a cup of coffee before heading out in the morning, or relaxing in the evening. The interior was comfortable and exactly like the photos. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. They have a lot of accommodations like a TV, a stereo to play music through, an electric kettle for coffee/tea, and nice furniture. It was a perfect spot for us. You can tell they're professionals at managing their Airbnb. I would highly recommend!Cory2015-11-03T00:00:00Z
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour au Iklektik House. L'appartement était joli et le lit super confortable. Nous avons eu du plaisir à découvrir ce sympathique quartier. Tout est proche: resto, cafés et bars, épicerie et station pour les bicyclettes Divvy. Il est très facile de se stationner gratuitement dans la rue. Par contre, pour les voyageurs du Québec, attendez-vous à recevoir un billet de stationnement (contestable!) puisque nous n'avons pas le collant de renouvellement sur la plaque d'immatriculation. Nous n'avons pas rencontré Mindy et Tony, mais ils ont répondu très rapidement chaque fois que nous avions une question. Le seul point négatif est que la cuisinière est à l'extérieur de la maison et qu'il manque un peu d'équipement pour cuisiner. Nous avons donc mangé au restaurant presque tout le temps. Nous vous recommandons cet endroit très fiable avec des hôtes de qualité. P.S. Saluez le lapin qui vit dans le jardin! Elsa et DylanDylan2016-04-03T00:00:00Z
What a great apartment, very comfortable and full of cool art! Loved the outdoor space! The neighbourhood was very convenient. Tony and Mindy were very welcoming. Would recommend and stay here again.Wahed2015-10-27T00:00:00Z
The Night Owl was a lovely home-from-home in Chicago - with super fun decor! The neighbourhood was nice and quiet. It's a reasonable distance from the city but only one or two buses to all the main attractions. Would definitely stay again!Harriet2015-11-21T00:00:00Z
This place was amazing. My wife and I came into Chicago for a few days and we couldn't have picked a better spot. The rooms are spotless and beautifully decorated. The neighbourhood offered us everything we needed while still being a quiet area outside of the city. It's also just a quick ride away from the Wicker Park/Bucktown areas. Mindy was a perfect hostess, making sure I was all set up and quickly responding to any questions we might have. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore Chicago without having to pay downtown prices. Thanks Mindy and Tony!Matt2015-12-01T00:00:00Z
Tony and Mindy were easy to communicate with. The unit is on a nice block - low traffic, walking distance to a great Mexican restaurant, and has an awesome backyard for hanging out after a long day. The apt was clean and cozy.Erik2016-09-20T00:00:00Z
La maison de iklektik était tout simplement parfait pour notre Nouvel An week-end à Chicago. Tout était propre et très confortable. Les instructions Mindy et Tony ont quitté étaient parfaits. Nous avons pu entrer et de sortir facilement et tout ce dont nous avions besoin était fourni. Nous reviendrons à coup sûr!Brian2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

The studio was very cozy and clean with a great view! It was walking distance to many of Chicago's attractions and food spots. We didn't get to meet Gary, but we were given clear instructions on how to get inside the place and Gary/Gary's gf were very accessible via text/phone.

George var AMAZING! Han svarede inden for få minutter på e-mails, han lod en af mine venner overnatte på sofaen sidste øjeblik, og han gav mig stor henstillinger om hvor skal gå til et første besøg i Chicago! Jeg helt klart anbefale dette sted!Jaro2014-06-03T00:00:00Z
Det var min første erfaring med Airbnb og George gal det til en meget vellykket og speciel oplevelse ...! Lejligheden var meget smuk og sød og jeg elskede nabolaget og at det var så tæt ved Brown Line, hvorfra du kan komme til mange steder ..! George var så smukt og meget venlige! Kommunikationen på forhånd var så ukompliceret og han var meget tålmodighed med mine mange spørgsmål ... :) Jeg ville elske, jeg kunne have boet længere!Lisa2015-06-14T00:00:00Z
Dette var min første airbnb erfaring, og jeg nød det virkelig. George er en meget nice person og han gjorde du føler hilses velkommen højre væk. Få din sæt nøgler og komme og gå som du glad. Eventuelle spørgsmål, du havde, han var glad for at besvare. Hvad `s godt om nabolaget er du får en rigtig god fornemmelse for Chicago byliv. Og hvis du ønsker at hovedet downtown, ikke noget problem overhovedet, bare hoppe på løkken, som er bogstaveligt talt lige ved siden af.jurgen2015-10-08T00:00:00Z

George and Sean's apartment was clean and cozy, exactly like the pictures depict. I had the smaller bedroom, which was more than enough for me. The neighborhood is very nice- plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and boutique stores. The train station is literally next to the building, making getting around very easy. Overall, I enjoyed my stay thoroughly and I would recommend anybody this apartment!Chenxi (Abby)2016-06-23T00:00:00Z

David is a fantastic host with a great sense of hospitality. He even lent me a scarf as I was having a bit of a sore throat. His place is warm and welcoming with great art pieces displayed all around. The room is really comfortable and cosy with a TV and access to Netflix (I was able yo catch up on a few episodes of Mad Men). It is conveniently located close to the train station and getting to downtown only take around 20 mins. This is definitely a place that I would recommend and that I would like to visit again in the future. Many thanks David!!!Emmanuel2015-04-13T00:00:00Z

I had a wonderful weekend in Chicago and David was a great host. The neighborhood is really quiet and the apartment beautifully decorated. The location is ideal, just a few minutes from the Red line and a block away from Halsted Avenue (where the cool bars and restaurants are).

The location was great for our particular needs that week. The Host was very welcoming. The Studio was clean but very very sparse. There was no legit cable tv and NO coffee maker ugh!!! Could not find the hairdryer. The studio was very dated with cheap quality furniture. ( The bed WAS comfortable though) The building itself was sketchy, with dark, noisy, creepy hallways. Stayed there with my husband, but I wouldn't have wanted to be there alone!!! Would not recommend this place. I would spend more for something else. You get what you pay for!!!Cathryn2015-12-09T00:00:00Z

Jame's apartment was great! My sister and I landed in Chicago a bit early than scheduled so I reached out to James to see if we would be able to check-in a bit earlier. James was super quick responding back to me and let us settle in earlier. I got to meet James in person and he was fantastic giving us advice on where to eat and to make sure we read his guidebook for all fun things in Chicago. The apartment was very clean, and SO close to the train... literally a block. My sister and I felt right at home and the apartment was very cozy.

Parking was easy and free; spaces were available directly out front. Apartment and the EZ Inn below is unique with refined décor and style; the attention to detail with regard to cleanliness and contents was remarkable. I felt safe in the neighborhood, which was comprised of local, independent businesses, a recreational trail, cultural attractions, and a short drive from downtown. Isaac was kind and respectful and an ideal host. I highly recommend staying at this property.Mindy2016-10-14T00:00:00Z

杰西卡的地方是wonderful--特别是对家长幼儿度假。房间是可爱的,只是描述。但是,额外我们没有expecting--如玩具的篮子,毛绒玩具和儿童books--是真正把这个地方在上面给我们!公寓是宽敞,杰西卡提供一切你可以需要,从肥皂和洗发水,甚至尿布霜!该位置是同样精彩。该公寓是步行距离林肯公园动物园,海滩之内,交通便利,附近交通方式带你其他地方在城市。 杰西卡是一个非常敏感的主机。我们来到镇上检查之前,她让我们提前在单位落我们的行李了。我们没有在我们逗留期间的任何问题。 有没有在清晨的噪音略有一点,无论是从空调或从附近的单位供水管线。它并没有真正打扰我们,但它可能是更分散注意力更加敏感枕木。 我唯一的建议是要告诉游客在夜间保持关闭百叶窗。镜像门在白天限制可视性单元很大,但到了晚上,如果指示灯都是亮的百叶窗都在涨,大家外面可以看到进入公寓。Michelle2016-07-20T00:00:00Z
Jessicas Ort war großartig! Sehr günstig gelegen; gingen wir nach North Avenue Beach und Lincoln Park Zoo. Das Parken war in einer nahe gelegenen Garage zur Verfügung. Wir waren gleich um die Ecke vom Hotel Lincoln, die eine fantastische Bar auf dem Dach hat. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und enthalten viele Toilettenartikel und Küchenbedarf. Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt!Alison2016-08-16T00:00:00Z
I would like to say we had a wonderful experience in chicago and really enjoyed being the first guests at jessicas new property she was very accomodating to our arrival and departure times and prompt to reply with directions to be helpful..very clean and cozy and nice location right across from the lincoln park zoo and all needs or wants close by..i would gladly return and im sure i will..thank you so much jessica we wish you the best!dwayne2016-04-06T00:00:00Z

The apartment was everything you could want. It was extremely cozy and inviting. The beds were excellent, all sheets, towels, pillows and blankets were extremely comfortable. You can definitely hear music from the restaurant next door but it was nothing that distracted us or our sleep. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone!Cari2017-01-16T00:00:00Z
Notre séjour à Chicago était parfait. Jessica était très accommodant, et je suis très impressionné par sa communication avec nous depuis le début de notre réserve à la fin de notre séjour. L'appartement était propre, joliment décoré, privé et dans un emplacement idéal. Indications étaient claires et il semblait vraiment comme si elle voulait aider autant que possible.

Marine Matters: The Situation with Herring
by Melissa Waterman
Wednesday, September 7, 2016 11:01 AM
On a local radio station recently a commentator stated that herring stocks are overfished. Overfishing has led to the current shortage of herring for lobstermen's use as bait, he continued.
His statement was incorrect.
Among the many fish species that call the Gulf of Maine home, Atlantic herring are one species that is doing quite well, thank you very much. In the opaque language of fisheries regulators, "Atlantic herring stocks are not overfished and overfishing is not occurring."
So why has herring availability become such an issue for lobstermen this summer? The migratory fish is the preferred bait for many Maine lobstermen and when there's no herring available, lobstermen get a little testy.
The problem lies not with the fish, who right now are congregating in spawning schools along the coast. The problem lies with the regulatory need to control what happens at sea, a desire that often conflicts with what is actually happening at sea.
Because herring migrate, they are considered an interstate fish species. Harvest of fish that move along the Eastern Seaboard is managed by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, a remarkably collegial regulatory body created in 1942 whose aim is to manage and conserve shared fish species. The amount of herring that can be harvested each year is set by the commission on a three-year basis. That amount, in turn, is determined by a stock assessment, which also takes place every three years. The latest stock assessment was released in 2015; currently herring fishermen are operating under the commission's 2016-2018 quota.
The annual catch limit, or quota, for herring is 231 million pounds, a 2.6% decrease from the 2013-2015 quota. The commission established four management areas at sea in recognition that herring are migratory and that they are found along the coast and offshore at different times of the year. The two management areas important to Maine lobstermen are Area 3 (Georges Bank) and Area 1A (inshore Gulf of Maine).
And now it gets tricky. Each one of the four management areas gets its own share of the herring quota. Area 1A gets 66.79 million pounds this year; Area 3 gets 90.16 million pounds. To fine-tune the system even further, herring fishing is divided into three time periods: January 1 to May 31, June 1 to September 30, and October 1 to December 31. Since there's pretty much no herring along the coast in winter, the 1A fishery really kicks off on June 1. So the commission divided the Area 1A quota into two. 72.8% of the quota can be caught between June and September; 27.2% can be caught between October 1 and the end of the year.
Typically the Georges Bank fishery supplies herring for lobstermen in the late spring and early summer months. Large boats, like the F/V
in Rockland, steam to Georges Bank and land thousands of pounds of herring from one trip. This year, however, that scenario changed. The herring didn't show up. Herring fishermen reported finding some schools but very deep in the water and intermixed with haddock schools. So landings from Area 3 were light.
Those big boats moved over to Area 1A. Here another bit of bureaucratic fine-tuning comes into play. From June to the end of September, only vessels rigged for seining, rather than trawling, for herring can fish in Area 1A. Seiners tend to be smaller boats, which results in smaller amounts of the quota being landed throughout that period. To access the fishery in 1A, the larger midwater trawlers changed their gear from trawl nets to seine nets. And they went fishing.
The addition of these boats meant that the entire quota allocated for Area 1A from June to September 30 could be landed, and landed quickly, by mid-July. So Department of Marine Resources Commissioner Patrick Keliher promulgated emergency rules on June 22, July 2 and July 9 to slow down herring landings in an effort to make the quota last (states that are members of the commission have the right to institute measures that are more restrictive than those of the commission, but not less so). Herring vessels can land their catch only on two consecutive days each week and can land just 600,000 pounds at a time. A large herring vessel is allowed to offload its catch to a carrier vessel (a smaller boat that brings the herring to shore while the large vessel continues to fish) just once a week.
After all, the lobstering season in Maine picks up speed in August and hits full stride in September and October. If the majority of herring was landed in early summer, the situation could be catastrophic for Maine lobstermen in the fall.
So that's why there's a herring shortage in Maine. The fish are out there. The lobstermen want them. But the rules dictate how much can be landed and when. It's important to remember that marine environments are constantly in flux. The effect of a warming Gulf of Maine, cool spring and early summer temperatures, decreased rainfall, or some variation in the salinity of the water may have altered the behavior of herring schools. The rules, however, do not alter. Fisheries regulations are a bit like trying to put a grid on pudding. It is a distinctly imperfect science.

A great article, that details & explains the herring fishery very accurately. It will aide the everyday reader in understanding the current state of the fishery, & allow them to read between the lines of the Environmental Industry's continual harangue of that fishery. While you explained the value of the herring fishery to the lobster fisherman, what is missing though is the value of a highly nutritious food source protein to many 3rd World Nations!

Genealogy History
Jeannette Holland Austin Profile
Scotch-Irish Settlers Gave us Linen Cloth
The Trustees gave the first settlers to Georgia an inventory of two woollen dressed to wear in the colony. Soon after the first emigrants, the Trustee's Garden in Savannah was established with its main focus upon raising the silk worm. The settlers were given land grants and 500 plants of mulberry cuttings. Although the quality of the silk was favorably compared with the Chinese and samples taken to King George of England, the settlers had such a poor start that they went to raising cattle instead. Thus, the venture failed. However, the Scottish settlers who settled Darien raised hemp and wove that into a fine linen cloth, much more desirable than woollen. As time went by and cotton was a popular crop, women spun the cotton balls into thread and this product clothed the families.
The Story of Harris Neck
A lovely bird sanctuary exists on the old plantation of William Thomas Harris (Harris Neck, McIntosh County, Georgia). The site was first known as Dickensons Neck on the South Newport River. After Oglethorpe left Fort Frederica and the settlers lost their economy in that town, Harris acquired a land grant and removed his family to the new plantation. The father, William Harris came to Georgia with General Oglethorpe ca 1733/4 and was granted lots in Savannah and Ft. Frederica. A study of the colonial records indicate that he was dead in 1737, leaving a widow and small child. The widow (Anne) and her mother (Anna Coles) established a mercantile store in Frederica which was located on Broad Street very near to the fort. The widow remarried and people began moving away from the fort. When William Thomas Harris came of age, he took up the land grant on the South Newport River.
Harris Neck is one of the most beautiful bird sanctuaries in the world. Harris genealogy is traced on Georgia Pioneers

Sons of Liberty in McIntosh County
Joseph Woodruff was born near London in 1735 and died in Darien, Georgia ca 1799. In 1770 he petitioned for a land grant in St. Andrews Parish and afterwards was an outstanding Son of Liberty and Member of the Council of Safety in Savannah. The Sons of Liberty was an organization of the original thirteen American. Actually, at the time that it was formed it was a secret society designed to protect the rights of the colonists and to fight taxation by the British government. It was this organization which played a major role in the process of putting aside the Stamp Act in 1765.

On 19 December 1793, the county of McIntosh was formally created from parts of Liberty, and was named in honor of one of the early immigrant families, the John Mohr MacIntosh, Chieftan. The early records were burned by General Sherman, and do not begin until ca 1848.

|Explorable Location: Spoiler Warning.
This is a page describing an explorable location in detail, and thus it may reveal plot details.
The Old North Wood used to be an "old-style" explorable area similar to "Explore the realms at random", "Have a random encounter here", and Tarkhald Crypt. On 12 June 2010 it was updated and now uses the new exploration mechanics.
Old Mechanics Edit
You can explore as many times as you like. The deeper you go, the more probable is to find an enemy or an interesting encounter. You can exit safely from wherever you are, after a 1-100 random check + Mind*0,5 + Spirit*0,5 + Luck*0,25 (34 is a win). If you fail the roll, you will need to continue to explore (or visit a previously discovered location) 6 times before you can try to exit again.
The levels of deepness and how many explorations you need to pass from one to the next are:
- Just a little way (initial)
- Quite a ways (10 explorations)
- Deep (15 explorations)
- Very Deep (20 explorations)
- Dangerously deep (25 explorations). There is no deeper than this.
Encounters Edit
Regular Encounters Edit
There are various creatures with varying strength that can be encountered when exploring the forest: Jadefang Ants, Barkback Beetles, Dhormuks, etc. Because this area is open to all players, many enemies are rather weak, but some others are pretty strong. They also have a wide range of SP, from ~35 to ~200 SP.
- Armoured Scavenger (9+ at MR ??-79 Approx, ?? SP)
- 2 Armoured Scavengers (9+ at MR ??-79 Approx, ?? SP)
- Barkback beetle (9+ at MR ??-57 Approx, ~100 SP)
- Cave Goblin (9+ at MR ??-79 Approx, ?? SP)
- Forest Trolls 4+ at MR 70
- Hylbor beetle (9+ at MR ??-57 Approx, 36 SP)
- Lesser Dormuk (9+ at MR 58-60 Approx, ?? SP)
- Dhormuk (9+ at MR 71-72 Approx, ~120 SP), you have to attack 2 times before you can flee
- 2 Dhormuk (9+ at MR 76-80 Variable, ~140 SP), special attack ~12 damage, you have to attack 2 times before you can flee
- 3 Dhormuk (9+ at MR 81-82 Approx, ~140 SP)
- 4 Dhormuk (9+ at MR 86-87 Approx, ?? SP)
- Greater Dhormuk (9+ at MR 85-86 Approx, ?? SP)
- 3 Greater Dhormuk (9+ at MR 99 Exact, ~190 SP)
- Ancient Dhormuk (9+ at MR 124-?? Approx, ~250 SP), can resist some powers - The strongest known enemy

Teaching writing is my absolute passion. It's my favorite subject to teach and my students love it too. My enthusiasm and love for writing really rubs off on them. Even my most reluctant writers will say at some point in the year that they love writing. That's why my students named me the "writing fairy."
Writing Like Writers is the name of the Writer's Workshop in my classroom that encourages all students to think of themselves as writers. We begin the year off with creating the rules, routines and expectations for our workshop that establishes an environment where writers feel safe and comfortable writing about topics they want to write about. The key to getting students to write is giving them choices about what to write about. Help them to discover their passions to share with others. All children have something they are passionate about. They all have stories to tell that are meaningful to them. When you help them find those stories within themselves you will find that your students just can't stop writing.
Elements of the Writer's Workshop Process
Students determine the topics and form their writing.
Students keep a writer's journal to organize their "in progress" writing.
Class members are at different points in their writing. Some may be prewriting while others are at the editing stage.
The teacher's role is that of the facilitator: monitoring, encouraging, conferencing and providing help as needed, teaching the writer, not the writing.
Students peer conference with each other for the purpose of improving their writing.
Students have time to orally share their writing.
Teacher use a "status of the class" chart to keep track of where students are in the writing process and when a conference is needed.
The teacher meets with individual students to conference about their writing throughout the process.
The teacher may meet with a small group to teach a skill.
Organizing the Classroom:
Set the tone for the classroom environment for writing
Model and establish exact routines and procedures
Establish locations in the classroom for materials and the components of writer's workshop
A Snapshot:
Mini Lesson (10-15 minutes) A short lesson focused on a single topic that teaches a single writing concept. You do not need to give a mini lesson each day; 2-3 times a week is fine. (Location: large meeting area for whole group lesson)
Status of the Class (2-5 minutes) A quick way of finding out what each student is working on and where they are in the writing process.
Writing time (20-30 minutes) Students write. Teacher writes with students and/or conferences with individual students or small groups. (Location: At student desks)
Sharing (5-10 minutes) Writers read what they have written and get feedback from their peers. (Locations: At student desks or in large meeting area)
The Mini lesson
Brevity: Mini lessons are short, usually 10-15 minutes so that the majority of time is available for students to write and for teachers to conference with students. Keep it brief!
Focus: Each mini lesson covers one thing, one defined topic. Keep it focused!
Authenticity: Mini lessons are based on real things that your writers really need to know. Keep it real!
(Teaching That Makes Sense, Inc. Peha, S)
Things to Teach in Mini Lessons:
Techniques – All the things writers know how to do with both text and illustration to make the writing good. (Craft of the writing) (Examples- Word choice, sentence structure, punctuation, paragraphs, text structures, genre specifics, etc.)
Strategies – Offers students possibilities for how to go about doing something while they are in the process of writing. Strategies give the writer suggestions to make the writing process more efficient. (Examples-Teach a student to read aloud their text and listen for where the punctuation should go or talk an idea through with a friend before writing about it.)
Understandings – Important things to know about how writing happens and they represent the big ideas underneath much of what is taught. (Examples-Writing exists in many different forms and genres, writers think about their audience.)
Conventions -Ways that written language generally goes down on paper (Examples-Formation of contractions, capitalization, punctuation, spelling.)
Questions – Lines of thinking that are useful for writers to follow. (Examples- "How do I know when I need a peer conferences?" or "How do I know if my writing is finished?")
Units of Study:
Extended series of mini lessons happening over a period of days or weeks
Lessons focused in depth on a big topic on interest.
Ex. Genre study or some study on a particular skill (ex. punctuation)
Ray, K & Cleveland, L. (2004) About the Authors: Writing Workshop with Our Youngest Writers.
Status of the Class:
Allows teachers to know the status of each student's progress at a given point of time. Ex. Students place their name card onto the chart (pocket chart, dry erase board, etc.) to indicate where they are in the writing process.
Writing Time
Student's Role:
• Writes for 20-30 minutes
• Peer conference (students meet with a writing coach)
• Conference with teacher
Teacher's Role:
• Write with students
• Conference with students
• Small group mini lesson
Conferring- Meet with individual students to teach the writer, not the writing
Have procedures and expectations in place
Focus on one thing
Keep it brief, check back with student
What is My Role During Conference Time?
Everyone's Role:
• Respect the student and teacher who are conferring
• Use the "Ask 3 Before Me" Rule
• Expect a brief, 5- 10 minute conference
Teacher's Role:
• Review student's "Writing Conference Plan"
• Listen to the writing
• Think about how to help the writer, not just the writing
• Offer positive comments (2 stars and a wish)
• Ask questions that teach and help the child to think more deeply
• Focus on one thing
• Suggest a strategy you've already taught
• Encourage the students to try something you suggested
• Make notes
Student's Role:
• Come with a completed "Writing Conference Plan"
• Read the writing aloud
• Identify what you want to work on
• Listen to the teachers comments and suggestions
• Think, plan and return to your piece to revise
Basic Conference Questions:
What are you working on?
Can you read me some of what you've got?
How is it coming along? or Is there anything I can help you with?
What are you going to do next?
(Teaching That Makes Sense, Inc. Peha, S)
Peers could confer with each other too. Train students to become peer writing coaches.
Gives writers a chance to address a real audience and get valuable feedback
It's voluntary
Author asks to listen for or help with something specific
Students give kind, helpful and specific feedback or ask thoughtful questions
Ways to Share:
Whole Class: My favorite! Gives authors their best chance for feedback. Listen to a few kids each day.
Small Group: Time efficient, but is sometimes hard to manage but gives students a chance to get feedback from multiple peers.
Partner: With only one person in the audience, the feedback the writer receives is often limited. Have partners meet with several partners to get more feedback. My students peer conference with a writing coach(es) during writer's workshop.
Here are some of my favorite FREE resources that I have created or found on the web to use in my classroom to launch my writer's workshop. Amazing teachers created some of these resources and other teachers benefit them. Give them a try!

Standard ceiling fans are suitable for heated, inside locations. If you want a fan for your porch or bathroom, purchase a "damp-rated" fan made from corrosion-resistant materials instead.
A room in excess of 200 square feet needs a fan that is approximately 50 inches, and in some cases it may be necessary to install several fans.
Most ceiling fans require a clearance of at least 7 feet, with optimal placement for efficiency and safety being 8 or 9 feet above the ground in the center of the room.
Low quality motors are noisy, and increase the amount of vibration within the fan. For quiet operation, choose a high quality motor with heavy-duty, durable components and sealed bearings.
If you want your fans to blend seamlessly, install one that is the same color as the ceiling. If you want to make the fans more of a feature, be daring with your color choice.
If you are in doubt, speak to your contractor about the available options for your room. He or she has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and knows exactly what type of fan is suitable.

The Pink Elephant in the Political Room                                                          Â
It will slowly climb from the uncomfortable regions of our subconscious to the surface, from the unspoken to the spoken, when we will be able to make informed decisions about it, or at least open the subject to public debate. But right now, it is clear that no one wants to discuss the matter in a way that addresses good old Average Joe's stake at the political table where foreign policy is concerned this year. There's an elephant in the room, and no one wants to admit it. During the campaign in 2004 George Bush said we're "winningâ€? the war on terrorism; John Kerry said we're not doing enough, and are doing it wrong. I think it was probably hard to say for sure, but support is crashing because even the congenitally disenfranchised American public is starting to figure out that there is no pretty way out of Iraq. We're trapped, and now we enter the next phase of the public debate. How, and when. And it's going to get hot, because there are simply too many opinion leaders out there who kind of saw all this coming ahead of time. The urge to say "I told you soâ€? is bursting the public-debate seams.Â
Even Donald Rumsfeld doesn't know if we are creating more terrorists than we are removing, and I give him a lot of credit for raising the question.
As the Spanish train bombings and routine explosions in Iraq have once again demonstrated (as if Israel wasn't a good enough example), there is really no way to stop people determined to kill, especially those who will do it without regard for their own life, which wasn't even the case in Spain. It can't even be done in a police state. Try as they always have and always will, government cannot control the actions of the individual quite so microscopically. This is the elephant.
Average Joe has been placed against his will in a reverse-lottery, where the odds of losing are very long, but the cost is very high. If Joe wins the reverse lottery, he's dead. (If Joe almost "wins� the reverse lottery, he just gets wounded!) I believe enough Average Jose's realized this just before they voted to swing their election against the incumbent and that all other analysis of the results (Spain chickened out, et al) is of the over-variety.
On some level, American Average Joe knows this, too, but hope indeed does spring eternal, and our politician's (with the media's help) are using the issue to both create fear and pretend they, the politicians, are the answer to this fear, when they in fact gave birth to it through foreign and domestic policy, right or wrong.  Their misrepresentation of the threat would be laughable (much like them telling us they could help us win a real lottery with some new laws—imagine the uproar!) if it were not so dangerous and condescending.Â
There are three ways to combat terrorism. And these three are pretty much it.
One, you kill and capture as many of these people as you can possibly identify. This can be done quietly just as effectively as making a show every time you have success, and in direct contradiction of a given nation's public policy, in my opinion. (Though you would have to be positive, all-four-branches-of-government POSITIVE, if this is your policy.) I would argue that terrorists just "disappearing� is a better approach than, say, Israel's, who have proven pretty conclusively that trying to publicly kill your way out of a terrorism problem is not in and of itself a solution, or at minimum, if it is, it takes one heck of a long time to finish the job. And then consider how much easier is to defend Israel than it is to defend the U.S.
In general, it seems to me that to do this effectively requires a high degree of international cooperation, but I'm no terrorism expert. Not great that most of the world's non-Man's actively think we're nuts, even if their Men are still hanging in there with us publicly. This is how Empire's die.Â
Two, the Powers of the world will use technology to monitor us in ways heretofore unimaginable. You want total safety? Have a camera and microphone everywhere, including your house and car. Hey, if you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have to worry about it, right?
Finally, you stop creating new terrorists. It takes some rather rare socioeconomic, political and religious circumstances to get someone to willingly and proudly blow themselves and anyone around them up. (And after Spain they know including their own selves isn't really necessary.) The reasons we haven't been attacked since 9-11 are certainly many, but arguably one of them is simple math; there aren't enough people willing to die for their cause relative to those who are not. Yet.
Here's a way to look at it even the President might understand. Let's say you're 99% successful in stopping people who want to blow up other people. (That's pretty good, right? 99%?) So, if you have 100 people who want to blow stuff up, 1 gets through. We could handle that, I think, since we already have, and since most of the rest of the world long ago demonstrated some resilience against terror. (Joe's now look at it much like they look at their lottery tickets.) But say there are 1000 people who want to blow things up, and are willing to do the work to do it. Now you have 10 getting through. Hmm. Not quite as tolerable.
If there are a million people who are willing to die to indiscriminately kill others, and you're 99% successful in stopping them, ten thousand make it. If you're 99.9% successful against this many, you're back down to a mere thousand "successful� demolitions. Get it?
All in all, I think the President is doing a fine job on Number 1. My guess is that some evil-doers have been "disappearing� quietly, and it is somewhat inevitable that the big fish are going to make news.
On Number 2, well, that process is well underway already, and that issue encompasses far more than just terrorism, thus it is irrelevant to the subject at hand.
So, to this Average Joe, Number 3 becomes the central issue of foreign policy. Are our current policies increasing or decreasing the number of people who want to blow us up? Are they making me more or less likely to "winâ€? that reverse lottery? As my best friend likes to say, "The terrorists always win.â€? He means politically. Why? Because you have to be super-motivated with rage/religious fervor/hopelessness to be one. To use a sports metaphor that every male reading this will understand immediately, people who are willing to die for a cause "want it more."Â
For every person willing to blow themselves up, there are thousands more not there yet, but increasingly angry with (at least) the American government.
I saw a respected journalist say just recently we were now the "most hated country in the world.� This was a guy who has done international news for 25 years, old school-style. He went on to say, "It can't be all blamed on Bush, but there's no question this problem has worsened on his watch.� Is this a candidate for understatement of the year?
For the first time in my life I am scared for my country. The Emperor has no clothes, and no one wants to talk about the elephant in the room.
We cannot stop them all.
