Testicular Cancer
The most common cancer in men aged between 20 and 34, but still relatively rare. It is caused by abnormal growth of cells in the testicle. Read more →
My husband is a very large man and has hydroceles around both testicles and is VERY swollen and uncomfortable. He has been to a urologist and does not want to go back as he does not want surgery. He has started waking up in the morning with the bed wet. I do not think it is urine, but it has left his underwear wet and a light stain on bedding. Could his testicles be somehow leaking fluid?? Or could this be from sweating because of his enlarged testicles?
If there are swollen testicles and penis with the testicles grown to the size of a football bladder how can this swelling be reduced?
I'm 15 years old and I've had a slight pain in my testicles for a while now. It's been gone for a few weeks but it just came back yesterday. It usually goes away for a few minutes before coming back for 30 seconds or so and then it goes away again. My testicles themselves also felt a bit swollen but I'm not sure about that one. I'm a little worried and I'm looking forward to a reply, thanks.
Hello I am 20 years old and I am experiencing a lot of pain in both testicles, not just when I exert myself at times they recede into my body cavity and I have to physically pull them back down. I also have 2 swollen bumps on my abdomen, doctors say they are swollen lymph nodes but aren't sure. any answers?
About 3 years ago I had adult mumps (that was the doctors prognosis but could not 100% be confirmed with blood tests for some reason). Anyway symptoms were some swollen glands but not much, very high fewer and my testicles were so painful I could barely walk. After recovery (almost a week in bed) my testicles have just never been the same again. The feel like they have shrunk in size a bit and they have remained very sensitive. If I accidently bump them (softly) while moving or doing sport it is very painful. Also extremely sensitive to touch. Also, it feels as if the tube/(s) connecting to the testicle on one side has some hardening to it. Any suggestions? Local GP is really not worth seeing….
Hi i'm 20 and my problem is that i get pain in my testicles, it originally started ocasionally after intercourse or masturbation and would only last for 10 mins max but now it happens more often and somtimes they just ache at random, the length of time they ache has also increased from anywhere between 10 mins to 2 hours. It is a rather intense ache/pain at first but after a while usually dies down into a sort of dull thudding pain. my testicles dont seem to be swollen or lumpy but get very tender to touch I have made an oppointment with my GP but he is not a very good doctor so any advice would be most welcome thank you for taking the time to read this :)
i had a lump under my testicles which i had removed cause it grew as big as a walnut in hospital 2 yrs ago now ive noticed another lump where my scar is and it feels alot harder and its swollen what is it and should i be worried
Any lump or bump is worth seeing your GP about. I wouldn't be too worried as it is most likely just hard scar tissue that formed after the initial op (I have something similar). You don't mention what the op was for (cyst/tumour etc?). Get it checked out mate, won't hurt to put your mind at rest.
I recently had a orchidectomy performed on both of my testicles as i had a testicular torsion in my right testicle. After a month i am complaining of a sensitive perianal area including my left testes and also my anus, it became worse after an intensive weight-lifting workout. My anus feels painful and swollen. My GP thinks its acute prostatitis but i have no urinary retention or infection, but insisted i take a broad spectrum antibiotic to treat it. The pain is spreading towards my left back area and my groin with no swollen areas. Im beginning to doubt the diagnosis and i think its simple external piles. Can you help please? Male 25
Possibly a fungal infection... Jock Itch... similar to athletes foot but on the groin... Go to the pharmacist and get Caneston 1% Hydrocortisone, 1% Clotrimizole the Hydrocortisone will speed up your immune system and heal the rash... the clotrimizole will kill off the fungal infection.
My right foot is always swollen, when I walk for some time.No other areas is swollen. What is the problem of this area, please help! This swollen foot does not have any pain and discoloration.
Its been like this for some time now the base of my heel is tender to walk on
Im 16 and have had pains in my testicles for a week or so, I've been to the doctors before about it and they said that my testicles were swollen and that it was most likely caused by an allergic reaction but was nothing serious. However, i have noticed something hard at the top of my testicle, it seems to be attached to the epididymis. Any advice? Thanks.
Get it checked out , my son(14) self examed himself and found a lump on his one testis ,and he had it removed ,and it was cancer .He is getting a cat-scan every month .And if in 2 yrs he has a clean record then hes cancer free...Go get it checked out.
hi im 25 and i sometimes get pain that sort of radiates from just above the base of my penis into my testicles , when it gets quite bad i cant actually move. It lasts maybe 60seconds rarely more. My testicles become swollen and tender to touch mainly the left one. Iv not been to the dr but was going to bring it up at the gum clinic. Iv been to the gum clinic before and was given the all clear when i had the pain previously. should i see the dr?
my testicles are swollen
Recently before and after sex the tubes connecting my testicles to my penis have swollen greatly, my testicles then become very sore as do the tubes. They swell to nearly half the size of my nuts. It is incredibly sensetive when i walk or move about I couldn't find anything relating to this problem on this site I may just be looking in the wrong place, any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
my testicles are itchy and swollen what cud be the matter
hi there im 20 years old and i found a small rock hard lump in my scrotum the size of a tiny pea. it isnt attached to the testicles or to the tubes coming from the testicles it is behind them, sort of on the part between the testicles and the anus but basically nearer to my testicles , its been there for around a year or two now i also suffer from Varicocele i was just wondering was it something to do with that or could it be something else please let me no because its starting to worry now. thanks

My testicles have developed a very itchy rash after i peforme anal intercourse on my girlfriend, they are slightly swollen and im geting worried.
I'm 24 years old and since my 15 that I have notice something that worries me, when having a sexual relation the bag of the testicles starts shrinking and the testicles pass to the top of the penis in some sort of extra bag, it does hurt during sex, but it calms down after a while and the testicles go down to the original position. Can anyone tell me if I should be worried about it?
I am concerned about my husband who has very large testicles or they are more like a big ball. It would take both cupped hands to hold them. He is in his 70s and his penis is very small and shrunk into the testicles but he can still have limited sex. I have examined them and they appear soft but is it something I should discuss with the Doctor.?In 2009 he became incontinent and had a TURB which has been successful but since then his testicles have became really enlarged. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi I'm 19 years old and when I was around the age of 9 I would (might sound weird) put my penis and testicles in between my legs and squeeze them both really hard until I got this sensation or feeling of ejaculation but I wouldn't ejaculate sperm because I was too young. And I would do this a lot, I didn't know any better I was a kid at the moment. Ever since then my penis never grew if anything got smaller and is very soft, it is about 1 inch in length when flaccid and 3 and a half inches when an erection occurs. My testicles are small and really don't hang low. I just want to know if I had damaged or broken my penile tissue, is that why it never grew? Did I my also damage my testicles and is that why they are the way they are? Lastly, how I can I fix this problem, How can I make my penis and testicles the way they were meant to be?
I need three more inches on my penis how can I have it cause my penis is to small
If you have any abnormality in your testicles, please be brave and see your doctor. You may just have an infection that needs antibiotics or something more urgent than that. My husband was not brave enough to see the doctor and ended up losing one of his testicles - do you want that to happen to you? Please do not be shy. They have seen so many penis, testicles, breasts etc they won't be embarrassed, so you do not need to be - but you do need to put your mind at rest or get treatment. ;D
The last couple of days i have had a pain in my right side of my testicles. I have checked them they have not swollen up or feel any differant. The pain is constant and i can feel it more when i walk about
I have the same problem dude!
i have that now, did it pass ?
To all those young men who have Them on their testicles, I assure you not only is it common but it will not ruin your chances at love. Maybe the quick hookup, but not love. If you plan on sleeping with someone and you are worried just explain before hand and maybe even show them the proof online. It's just a swollen oil gland in the end, harmless.
I have had an ache in my testicles for a couple of days I have no lumps and the ache seems to swap testicles. I can't tell if it's just my stomach making it feel like my balls ache as it feels like when you get hit in the balls and my testicles don't hurt when I touch them.

My daughter is four years old and has severely swollen tonsils, they touch when she sticks her tongue out, she has no other symptoms and I noticed this a month ago, is this normal?? I took her to a doctor, and they gave me a nurse instead who said they were just swollen. She also snores loudly. I've looked it up and found nothing, why are they swollen??
Hi, I was born with Klienfelters Syndrome and have had an operation to increase the size of my testicles, by Silicone Implants. This was just for cosmetic purposes only, just so I would look like everyone else. I now feel, that the false testicles have shrunk & was wondering if I could get larger ones fitted vai the NHS? I do have a lot of scrotum around the balls & I was wondering if this is quire normal? But then again, I am not happy with my testicles & would like them bigger, again, just to look "normal" Can anyoe help on this matter? xx

Kathryn is an amazing host. Her Home and garden are absolutely beautiful. I am so glad I found this place.Christina2017-08-06T00:00:00Z
Highly recommended!!!! Kathryn's is an excellent host!David2017-02-12T00:00:00Z
Fue un tiempo maravilloso en la casa de Kathryn! un barrio residencial muy bonito! Central tanto a la estación de trenes como al centro de Oxford. La casa muy bonita, y la habitación encantadora, cómoda y limpia, acorde a la descripción dada por Kathryn, con una bella vista al jardín. Todo el lugar parecía sacado de un cuento de hadas. El desayuno bastante rico y variado, frutas frescas, leche, cereales, pan casero y café. Por mi parte probé el porridge, con crema y syrup, delicioso! Kathryn es una anfitriona acogedora y encantadora, que te hace sentir como si estuvieras en tu propio hogar. Sin duda volvería! y ojalá permanecer más tiempo.Nicole2017-06-02T00:00:00Z
Kathryn lives in a wunderful traditional envionment with beautiful art the wall. It is clean and she is welcoming and a heart warm person. I can recomend staying at her house.Teresemarie2017-04-03T00:00:00Z
Kathryn is a nice host. The room is big enough and comfortable and the bathroom is shared but nice and clean. The wi-fi was not perfect so maybe is not an ideal place if you have to work in the room but it is a very nice choice for a quick visit to Oxford.Alessandro2017-01-18T00:00:00Z

I've spent here a night during a working trip. The house is literally beautiful, Kathryn is an extremely kind and clean host, and I loved her house. Everything was incredibly clean. It's the best airbnb in Oxford in my opinion. I would definitely recommend staying at her place!Benedetta2017-06-24T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place to stay and a lovely apartment. All and more we could have expected.Mimi2015-09-07T00:00:00Z
We had a fantastic overnight stay at the Coach House Bed and Breakfast. Pam was friendly and helpful when we arrived. The rooms were very nicely decorated, as was the rest of the Coach House. We slept well and had a delicious and filling breakfast the next morning. It was a very tranquil place to stay. We would love to go back again. Thank you to our hosts.Katie2014-08-04T00:00:00Z
Pam's house is located to nice place (close to Morton-in-the-marsh and other beautiful villages.) Pam and his partner Neil are so kind and we can feel really comfortable. Breakfast was awesome! we were very satisfied. The room was also wonderful and lovely. we stayed only one night, but wanted to stay more!! Pam recommend some pubs for dinner and we went to "The Red Lion Inn" , it was really nice place. Everything is perfect.Mami2014-10-12T00:00:00Z
The coach house is located in a very lovely village, it has a very beautiful garden full of flowers, Pamela is very welcoming & warmhearted, the coach house is very well prepared before we arrive, 2 bedrooms are so lovely and well designed, feel like a sweet home. Everything is ready, there are 2 TVs in 2 bedroom, both connected to DVD player, a lot of DVD disc on the shelf, we watched a movie in the night. Pamela prepared very good triditional English break fast for us with a large bottle of orange juice & yogour. Pamela introduced a lot of place to go & to eat around the village, the location is very well, it takes around 20 minutes drive to Stow in the wood, Bourton on the water, Chipping Camden. We also had a pleasant chat with her husband who is very talkitive & humourous. A very pleasant stay, we enjoyed it very much, thank you Pamela!端旅行者2015-07-02T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay -Pamela and her family made us feel incredibly welcome and were really helpful at suggesting local places to eat and to visit. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed and the bed was very comfy! The cooked breakfast was delicious too -thankyou!Victoria2015-11-25T00:00:00Z
Had the most lovely weekend staying at Pam's beautiful house. I can't recommend it highly enough. Highlights were the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, the luxurious roll top bath and fluffy towels, a delicious cooked breakfast complete with great conversation, the fantastic local pub (just a short stagger home), our furry friends Poppy and Ruby, and the lovely homely feeling that Pam and her family provided. Oh, and of course the beautiful country side! Can't wait to stay again.Kimberley2014-05-06T00:00:00Z
The house is very cozy and warmly decorated. Pamela is such a great host and so is her husband. The bedrooms are separated from the main house and therefore it's private with a lovely garden too. Thanks a lot Pamela for your hospitality.Laura2014-08-11T00:00:00Z
Pamela is really a great hostess! We stayed in Pam 's garden house for four nights and enjoyed ourselves so much! The rooms were definitely clean! Pam was always helpful in need. She gave us reasonable advices and recommendations to our exploring and dinner. Thanks for the wonderful breakfast we didn't have lunch each day. We all love the dogs Poppy and Ruby and the cat Brenda! We really wish we could come back someday and recommend Pam's Garden House! Thank you Pam and hope we could meet you and Neil in China soon!Valerie2015-08-17T00:00:00Z

Mitten im Zenrum von Oxford, ruhig und 20 m zur Walton Street mit super Kneipen, Biergärten und Restaurants. Das Zimmer ist sehr hell und sehr freundlich und Jean ein sehr, sehr netter Gastgeber.

I had a good stay at Em's place - they're super welcoming and laid back. The area is quiet, but not far from the town and from a cool street with places to eat etc.Jonathan2017-05-12T00:00:00Z
Em and Gene were communicative and accommodating hosts. Had a wonderful one-night stay. I'd definitely do it again!Serena2017-05-07T00:00:00Z
Very closely located to station, room is lovely and spacious. Emily and her partner were extremely accommodating and kind. Would definitely stay again on any future trips to Oxford.Sabrina2017-05-31T00:00:00Z
Simply fantastic! Location was very convenient for university, and I got the best rest in almost 2 weeks that I've been traveling. Also Emily was very helpful on everything, she even lent me her phone to do a call to the train company. Finally, there were a few cafes, pubs, restaurants and even supermarkets nearby. I would have no hesitations to go back here if I had to stay in Oxford again!Nicolo2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

Stunning picturesque cottage. Very clean and warm and jo made us feel very welcome.Louise2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
I couldn't recommend Jo's cottage more highly, it's faultless. Incredibly comfortable, well designed, and perfectly located for easy access to Oxford and the beautiful countryside. Jo also leaves milk in the fridge and managed to get hold of a travel cot for us. Just brilliant and great value.Georgia2016-08-09T00:00:00Z
Perfect place for a country getaway, the cottage was well equipped and homely. It is a short walk into Woodstock town and Blenheim Park/Palace. Jo was very helpful with local information and directions and made us feel very welcome. We appreciated the New Zealand cookbooks and great literature on the bookshelves!Luke2016-07-18T00:00:00Z
Beautiful home. As described. Jo gave very good directions and even recommended a fab bakery which we went to. Perfect spot of you're looking for a countryside retreat or visiting Blenheim Palace. Only downside was that the house was a little humid but we had the windows open the whole time and that did the trick! Thanks Jo, you were great! Brilliant weekend!Jackson2016-06-27T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely long weekend at Jo's cottage. The location was perfect, only a few minutes walk from the grounds of Blenheim Palace and the centre of Woodstock. The cottage was immaculate, very comfortable and a perfect size for two people, with a lovely bathroom. Communication with Jo was great and everything was as she described.Richard2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
I stayed at Jo's for two nights with my boyfriend. It was lovely and cosy- would recommend for a romantic getaway. Jo was really helpful gave us lots of info and suggestions beforehand. The cottage is beautiful and the town is lovely- lots of nice pubs nearby. Ideal for a trip into Oxford or a country walk in the Cotswolds.Briony2016-12-18T00:00:00Z
Lovely little cottage in a beautiful Cotswold village. Cosy and comfortably furnished with a wonderful bath and powerful shower. Backs on to Blenheim Palace, with lovely grounds to walk in. Host Jo sent lots of helpful information before arrival.Sarah2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Jo's modern country cottage was exactly what was required for a quiet, relaxing weekend in the Oxfordshire countryside. Ideally located for our needs with Heyford Park driving experiences located approx. 20 mins to the north, and Oxford Parkway Park and Ride approx. 20 mins to the south. Jo could not have been any more helpful or accommodating - we were arriving late on Friday evening, but everything was very straight forward to get us into the house. Directions were absolutely accurate, even down to the street name that you should turn around in when you inevitably drive past! The house was beautifully appointed - recently renovated (as far as I could tell) to a very high standard. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot and powerful, and I believe that the bath passed its test as well (or so my girlfriend tells me!). One word of warning - mind your head! Some of the doorways, and the return of the stairs are somewhat lower than expected. I'm 5' 10 and I was having to be quite careful. That aside, this really was the perfect accommodation, in the best location, for a very enjoyable weekend. Thank you Jo!Jonathan2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely cottage, well appointed and a luxurious bathroom! It is in a really pretty village which has a great community feel and has a well stocked, friendly shop and cafe. Thank you BeckieLorraine2017-09-24T00:00:00Z
Beckie gave us a lovely welcome hamper and recommended a pub nearby. She provided great communication throughout our stay. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortable with attention to every detail. As soon as we arrived our son announced that he loves it so much that he wants to live in the cottage forever. The cottage was a perfect base for visiting Shakespeare's Country and Cotswolds, we will definitely come back again!Erica2017-06-03T00:00:00Z
This home was lovely! The furnishing were all beautiful and the home was in a quiet little neighbourhood. The hostess left food for breakfast-- eggs, bread, jam, butter, tea, and milk. There was TV and Internet, as well as books and games. We also appreciated an assortment of books and travel guides about the Cotswolds. Because this is a remote location make sure you know exact directions. Our SatNav sent us to the wrong street, which caused us some frustration. One we arrived, however, everything was perfect.Alice2017-06-29T00:00:00Z
Perfect location if you're looking for an peaceful and quite vacation. The house is cozy and clean.子程2017-05-29T00:00:00Z
Our first impressions were - "Can we live here?". We then realised that all of the previous guests had signed the guestbook with exactly the same message! The cottage was absolutely beautiful, the location is great and Beckie's attention to detail was wonderful - the breakfast hamper was a lovely touch. Thank you, we wanted something special for the weekend and that's exactly what we got.Kristina2017-06-19T00:00:00Z
Our stay at The Cottage was our first experience of airbnb and the standard has certainly been set very high. We loved everything about our visit. The facilities were all excellent, the location beautiful and all our contact with Beckie very helpful. The welcome box of food was also appreciated. Highly recommended!Dorothy2017-06-11T00:00:00Z
This is a gorgeous cottage. Everything has been carefully thought through and put together and the end result is that this is one of the nicest places you could stay. The location is also lovely. With two pubs and a village shop there is everything you need and the location works well for trips to lovely places like chipping campden. Beckie was really helpful too. We definitely recommend staying here.Carol2017-09-17T00:00:00Z

Location was very close to the train station (which involves a lovely riverside walk if you're commuting between the two!) and within walking distance of all the major Oxford attractions that I was looking for.

Naomi was a very warm host who was punctual with her responses and helpful with pictures to guide you to the place. Upon check-in and check-out, she made some small but thoughtful gestures of hospitality. It was above and beyond what I've come to expect at most airbnbs. The residence is what I assume to be typical of homes in the U.K. The room is enough for one person but there isn't much of a common space, mostly a hallway. The bathroom is thankfully comfortably sized, though. For a British residence, it is worth mentioning that the bathroom has a shower head and curtain. There are trains nearby but my window faced the courtyard so the occasional noise was not noticeable. The neighborhood seems to be mostly Oxford students or young working professionals so I heard a few stragglers at night but nothing raucous during my stay. The walls are a bit thin so I did hear the guests next door but Naomi is a quiet person and things settle down in the evenings. All in all, it was a great location close to the popular places in Oxford and a good place to rest after a long day. I'd stay again.Samson2017-08-04T00:00:00Z
Naomi was a great host! She made sure I was very comfortable and if there was anything I needed she would do her best to accommodate me. Her place is very clean and about a ten minute walk from town center. Great place to stay!Mary2017-07-29T00:00:00Z
very nice girl. left me to get on with it and i felt very at ease. thanks naomiDarren2017-09-01T00:00:00Z
Naomi is a friendly and helpful host. I recommend the accommodation to anyone who wants to be close to the railway station, the city centre and the beautiful river bank at the same time :).Petra2017-08-13T00:00:00Z
The apartment is close to the railway station. The room is very clean and cozy. Great value. And Naomi is a fantastic host. I enjoyed my stay.Zheng2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

Emma is a very friendly host and we enjoyed our stayMark2017-09-03T00:00:00Z
This was my first Airbnb experience and I loved every aspect of it. Lovely house and a warm welcome-thank you!Alison2017-09-15T00:00:00Z
Emma made us really welcome and it was a perfect place for us to stay between an Oxfordshire party on Saturday and an an East Sussex party on Sunday, before returning home to Kent. We were welcomed with great coffee and the room was really comfortable, as was the bed. The Eight Bells in the nearby village of Long Crendon is worth a visit. On-street parking in Emma's road was also a bonus. We recommend this Airbnb.Susan2017-08-20T00:00:00Z
I booked with Emma because it was very convenient for where i was working, and was very impressed with the room and comfortable bed. Emma is a great host, very welcoming and look forward to staying their again..David2016-09-28T00:00:00Z
We booked Emma's townhouse on behalf of one of our event managers running an event for us in nearby. Emma was a great host - she was on-the-ball with her communications and absolutely lovely to boot. Thanks to Emma having our event manager at her home it made what would have been a very complicated operation an absolute breeze. I would recommend Emma's home to anyone looking to stay in Thame.Kim 2016-09-24T00:00:00Z
Emma is a delight, and Daisy the dog is a huge softy, it was lovely to meet them both. A cool arty house right near the centre of Thame which is a lovely little market town. We used the house to stay in after a wedding which was ideal, Emma was kind enough to let us drop off our bags a little early and even stayed up to make us a cup of tea when we got in late. Much nicer than staying in the local budget hotel!! Thank you so much xHoward And Pippa2017-06-04T00:00:00Z
We had a very comfortable stay with Emma and Nick. We were in town for a 70th birthday party and the house is very handy for town and we were able to easily walk to and from the party. Good communication beforehand so we knew exactly where to look for car parking. Emma and Nick are a good team. Emma checked us in and Nick waited up to let us in after the party. Large mugs of tea and pleasant chats added to our welcome. The bed was very comfy and the room right next to the bathroom. Even though the facilities were shared there was never a wait. Happy to recommend to anyone else looking to stay in Thame.Lynda2017-09-24T00:00:00Z
We had a really nice stay at Emma's. She was very flexible re. check-in which was great as we were at a wedding just down the road so wasn't sure exactly when we could drop our bags off. House was quirky and interesting, as was Emma! V. clean, comfortable bed, good nights sleep. Would fully recommend!Richard2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

Sheryl was a lovely host. I'm a light sleeper so the creaky floor above did disturb me but that wouldn't stop me coming back. Highly recommended :-)Emma2017-08-18T00:00:00Z
I had a fantastic stay! Sheryl was lovely, so welcoming and helpful. The place was spotless and very comfortable. I felt right at home. I was only staying overnight for a couple of days but it would be just as suitable for someone staying for longer - with board games, DVD's, computer games for entertainment! It was also a lovely touch to have breakfast goodies and snacks. Very happy - I would definitely come back.Sarah2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

This was a very different Airbnb experience and we loved it. The RAF base is now a heritage centre, with some beautiful vintage cars on show and gliders overhead. Rotherham offered very stylish and comfortable accomodation and having access to the kitchenette was most convenient. The base was very peaceful at the weekend, we could come and go as we pleased, with entry and exit gates facilitated by a key fob and polite security staff. We would definitely recommend a stay in the Crew Rooms and plan to return to try some gliding!Angela2016-07-19T00:00:00Z

The accomadation was just amazing, it was spotless, totally equipped. Very much home from home.... We were so happy and the setting was just lovely.... Coffee, croissant, biscuits and milk in the fridge was a very nice touch. The host was great, quick response to emails, late check out which made a massive difference to our break. If I had to sum up the accomadation and experience in one word, it would be 'quality' .... We will be back Xangela2017-09-10T00:00:00Z

Tim's place is very unique, we enjoyed it very much, it is so special, the colours,the pictures and the books, not to mention the small paradise of a garden. It is definitly not an "IKEA flat" and I mean it as a compliment. Our only regret was that our visit was too short to really enjoy the place. Tim was a very helpful host, came around helped us with the heating system and provided us with parking couponsMoshe2017-06-09T00:00:00Z

Tim was a welcoming and helpful host. His flat is charming, close to town and amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, however perhaps due to the popularity and high turnover of this rental the carpet and kitchen floor were not clean when we were there.Ian 2014-09-24T00:00:00Z
We loved staying at Tim's house. It was charming, warm and very welcoming. The garden was absolutely beautiful, and the beds so cozy we had a hard time getting up each morning. The location was ideal for us, walking distance from the train station, close to beautiful walking trails, and away from the tourist hub. This being said, we could easily walk into central Oxford in 20 minutes. Between the M&S in the station and the local grocer, food was readily available. Honestly we want to bring the house and garden home with us!Carole and Shayne 2015-06-11T00:00:00Z

Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und ländlich mit gutem Bahnanschluss, sodass sich Oxford schnell erreichen lässt.

Everything about our one-night stay was excellent ... the location, their house, our spacious room with en-suite (also the pub just across the road where we had our dinner last night!) We would thoroughly recommend staying here if you are ever near Blenheim Palace! Thank you both xLesley2017-08-07T00:00:00Z
B&B très soigné par la décoration, la propreté, les prestations offertes. Nos hôtes étaient charmants et de très bon conseil. Cette étape est une très bonne adresse, pour la proximité de Oxford mais aussi les pubs très accessibles et la gentillesse de nos hôtes. Nous espérons revenir ma fille et moi.France2017-08-09T00:00:00Z
We were honoured to be Nigel & Sarah's very first AirBnB guests! They were very kind and went out of their way to transport us to the train station (which is only a ~10 minute walk away but we were running late) and even came to pick us up in the late evening from Oxford when our plans to Bath fell through! They also offered to drive my sister and I to Blenheim Palace (which apparently is beautiful and where some of Snape's flashbacks were filmed--for the Harry Potter fans out there!) which is right nearby, but unfortunately we did not have the time! The location was ideal for being close to Oxford while simultaneously staying in the scenic countryside! We absolutely loved the area, with the rolling hills and sheep! There's also a quaint authentic English stone pub, George & Dragon, built in the 1600's, just a minute stroll away! Great atmosphere and food-definitely recommend! Unfortunately we did not have much time in the area as we were sampling parts of England, but we will definitely return to tour Blenheim Palace and visit with Nigel & Sarah again! :)Larissa2017-07-15T00:00:00Z
Sarah and Nigel have a lovely home and our stay was very comfortable. They made us feel at home and we had everything we needed and enjoyed breakfast and good conversation with Sarah in the morning before we left. We enjoyed walking through their village and the close proximity to the local pub down the road in which we enjoyed an excellent meal. We visited Woodstock the previous day which is just a short drive down the road from here. We would definitely recommend staying here, it's great.Yvonne2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

I stayed with Alexcia for one night at her lovely home in East Oxford. Everything was spotless and well maintained. The room is really cosy and comfortable. Excellent shower. It was very easy and quick to get into central Oxford either by bus or walking. Alexcia is really welcoming. I highly recommend staying here. Thanks Alexcia!Carla2017-09-08T00:00:00Z
This Airbnb might have been the best I experienced so far! Booking and communication before arrival were easy and alexcia always replied fast. When checking-in she welcomed me warmly and offered a cup of tea and showed me her cosy home! Everything is new, absolutely clean and you can feel at home right away! The room itself is small but great. The bed is super comfortable, you have a huge wardrobe to leave your stuff and the best about the room is the window directly above the bed so you can see the stars before falling asleep. The house is not directly in the city centre, but I walked everywhere and this was fine! The area felt safe and friendly, also at nights! I really enjoyed staying here, having nice conversations with alexcia whenever I returned home in the evenings! Thank you!Leonie2017-08-30T00:00:00Z
I loved staying here! Alexcia is a wonderful host: she couldn't have been more welcoming when I arrived much earlier than expected, and all communications in advance were excellent. The house itself is clean, tidy and fresh; the bedroom perfect for one and the bed exceptionally comfortable; and the shower will blast you clean in the morning! The location is ideal: right in the hub of Oxford action, with all the great restaurants and student life of the Cowley Road, and yet in a small side street quiet enough that not a squeak disturbs you. And finally: it's fantastic value. Five stars for everything - I can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Alexcia!Max2017-09-29T00:00:00Z
This is my best experience since I start using Airbnb. The room is extremely clean and cozy. All facilities are well prepared. There is even a bath tub for travelers to use. The location is good. Few minutes' walk to Oxford centre, but very quiet around. Also, Mrs. Alexcia is a very nice and friendly host. I had some trouble there and she helped me a lot. Thank you again Mrs Alexcia. I will live there again if travel in Oxford. And I would like to recommend to all people to have a try about this place. It is definitely beyond worth.syc7212017-09-26T00:00:00Z
A perfect city perch for a single traveller, located off bustling Cowley Road near good shops and restaurants, close to the St Clements bus stop, and yet somehow quiet and tranquil despite the convenient city location. It's a 15-minute walk to the Botanic Garden, and there are plenty of cycle shops just around the corner from which you can hire a bike (recommended if you plan to do much exploring outside the immediate city center). Room and shared bathroom are spotless, sparkling, freshly renovated, with comfortable bed, good linens, and lovely skylight. Alexcia was very quick to respond and was flexible both on check-in and check-out -- everything you hope for in a host. Highly recommended, fantastic value; would stay again on another visit to the city of dreaming spires.Grace2017-09-18T00:00:00Z
Alexcia's room is perfect: clean, fresh and with lovely touches, like a comfy chair and a lap desk for working. There is a Velux skylight over the bed, but she has proper black out blinds installed. Alexcia was very friendly and accommodating.Laura2017-09-24T00:00:00Z

The room was light and airy and the bed was very comfortable and the shared bathroom was immaculately clean with a nice powerful shower. The room was well equipped with a hairdryer and a vanity mirror with light plus a long mirror, tea and coffee making facilities and plenty of plug sockets.

Sheryl and Steve were absolutely lovely throughout the whole trip - booking, arrival and whilst we were there. We stayed three nights, and each evening before or after we went out for dinner we sat with Sheryl and Steve with wine and conversation. Nothing was too much trouble for these guys, and they really made us feel like we were staying with family. Everything was clean and tidy, breakfast was tasty, the bed was very comfortable and the shower was nice and powerful! Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Cotswolds, also because the location is perfect - ten minutes walk from the centre of town with loads of nice pubs and shops and restaurants, and the start of lovely walks. We'll be back again definitely!Hannah2017-05-01T00:00:00Z
Sheryl and Steve were such warm hosts. Steve picked us up at the train station although we arrived very late in the evening and even gave us a lift to our next town. Their house is beautiful with a lovely garden. Our room was big and perfect. The breakfast was wonderful and so was hanging out with them for several hours chatting about similarities and differences in our cultures. We were with them for less than 24 hours but miss them already.Linda2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

We had a absolutely lovely stay with Sheryl and Steve. They were so very accommodating but gave us our own space as well. Our bedroom was clean and cosy with a pretty view of the garden. The location was very handy to Moreton in Marsh which was a cute little town with all the amenities we needed. I would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the Cotswolds!Rosie2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
It is a place of LOVE, WARMTH and COMFORT, we felt at home as if they are our family and we are reluctant to leave! This will be a memorable place for our first anniversary. The bedroom is nice with a good view of their lovely garden and the bed is really soft and comfortable. About the shower room and toilet, it's clean and well equipped with things you need for the shower. The location is next to the high street of Moreton which is very convenient. Sheryl cooks well, we love her excellent English breakfast. Both Sheryl and Steve are kind and friendly, we were given much information about the beautiful area, they even drove us to our next destination and train station when we leave. Additionally, thanks for their patient & it's fairly a pity that our English is not good enough to communicate more with them. If you want to spend some time in Cotswolds area this is the right place, Sheryl and Steve will definitely be the perfect host.Yu2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and welcome to Justanswer!
There are quite a few things that could be causing your issue. the problem could be the starter itself, cables or connections, the ignition switch, wiring, the engine controller may not be awake, or the problem could be related to the SKIM system.

BP's new chairman to lead boardroom shake up
BP's new chairman is preparing a boardroom shake-up as part of far-reaching changes at the oil giant.
When he starts work in January, Carl-Henric Svanberg will begin the search for a string of new non-executives to replenish the board. "Just looking at the people and the times they have served ... that is naturally going to happen," said Svanberg, the outgoing chief executive of Ericsson, the Swedish telecoms equipment maker. "From my point of view, that is not a negative. They probably held back a bit on changes because they were waiting for this change."
BP is already searching for a replacement for Sir Tom McKillop, who was forced to step down because of his involvement in the collapse of Royal Bank of Scotland, where…

Monday MADness- Sneak Peek: MAD 535!
Believe it or not the iPad version of MAD #535 is already out. Above is Mark Fredrickson's terrific cover art. This cover got a big laugh at the MAD panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where they showed it for the audience.
Speaking of San Diego Comic-Con, when I was there last month I did a couple of live demos over at the Wacom booth on their fancy new 27QHD Touch. I took the opportunity to work on an actual piece for the upcoming issue of MAD. Of course I can't actually say what I was working on yet, but…
Incidentally the 27QHD is really awesome. I have the 24HD (non-touch) but now covet the 27QHD for both the extra screen real estate and the touch features. I just got a Cintiq Companion 2, which also has the touch capabilities, and will post a review of it soon. Briefly, I think Wacom has come up with the truly portable artist's digital studio solution.

The Outlander is a hybrid SUV that's efficient without being stingy
Hybrid vehicles have come a long way in the last few years; not only are they finding ways to get much more out of the batteries on the inside, they have also evolved on the outside.
The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is firmly in keeping with that emphasis on the aesthetic, making it an ideal car for those out there who want an SUV that looks the part, without all the huge expense of fuel costs and motor tax which normally come as part of that package.
After spending a full week with the vehicle, there are a few different things that make the Outlander stand out from the crowd.
The look
This new version of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is much easier on the eye than most other electric vehicles. It has a sleek, clean design from front to back, inside and out. With alloys, a full colour body kit and a more aggressive layout at the front than its predecessor, there is an eye-catching quality that has echoes of the design elements of the Range Rover Evoque, which is by no means a bad thing.
There are a number of touches dotted throughout the inside that make this vehicle feel more like a premium car than other hybrids, something which is increasingly important as SUVs become less about off-roading and more about stylish city driving.
While the joystick-style gear stick felt a bit kitschy and the paneling could have been something other than plastic for a really premium feel, touches like a heated leather steering wheel and seats balance that out nicely. The seats are spacious and comfortable, there's plenty of room in the boot, and as an electric vehicle, it's an incredibly quiet drive even when it does switch to the fuel engine.
As with most vehicles these days, there's a large display in the centre panel of the dashboard, which is one of the first things you notice as you sit in to the driver's seat. As you might expect, that's where your sat-nav and audio is based, and once you put the car in reverse, the feed from the camera at the back will also appear there.
That provides you with plenty of information, including a graphic representation on the space your car will take up and the trajectory of the move, but another surprising addition is the use of concave lenses on the outside to produce a top-down view of the car and its surroundings. Trusting the usual tricks of using your mirrors and lining up your vehicle properly still apply, but when you're trying to squeeze into a tight space or make a tricky manoeuvre, then this view really comes into its own.
However, the warning sensors which let you know that you're too close to an object, both front and back, are quite sensitive and noisy. Better to be safe than sorry, of course, but it can feel at times that there's an alarm clock with a broken snooze button going off.
If you choose EV Information, the display in the centre panel details the car's fuel efficiency, letting you know what's using what, and what your fuel efficiency is like. Notably, there is a reading that displays how much power the air conditioning is using up, and it is by no means an inconsiderable amount. That said, the Irish weather rarely calls for it to be switched on, so you can just roll the windows down if you really want to go green.
The display also allows you to look at where the power feeding the battery is coming from, as there are a number of different ways to ensure that you get the maximum out of every drive.
Charging & fuel efficiency
With a full charge, the car can run for nearly 50km, which is decent given the size of the vehicle. The car will charge at a standard charge point in just over four hours, while at a quick charge station you can get the battery up to 80% in about 20 minutes or so. You can also plug in at home with the so called "granny cable", and it will take about five hours to charge.
Despite the added weight of the battery in the floor, it manages to handle very well without feeling overly clunky, and responds nicely when you put your foot down to accelerate.
The car itself is set to default to the power from the battery wherever possible, but next to the gear stick are two different options that can tell the car to rely on the fuel to save or charge the battery back up using the engine's own power.
Equally, the regenerative braking feature allows the energy generated from slowing the car down to send a charge back to the battery, essentially somewhat like a dynamo. Paddles on either side of the steering wheel give you control over how light or firm you want that braking to be, from B1 to B5. With the latter being the strongest, it almost takes automatic driving to the next level, as the car will start to slow down as soon as you take your foot off the accelerator.
Overall, the car is a joy to drive; smooth, quiet and luxurious, you can be forgiven for wondering just why it's taken this long to create a hybrid that feels like a premium vehicle.
If you've stuck to your ecological or economic principles and denied yourself an SUV because you can't justify the emissions or the cost, this is the car that might just change your mind, and turn a few heads while you're at it.

hearing first
At FiveStone, I collaborated with Hearing First, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering children who are deaf or hard of hearing to reach their full potential. This started as a discovery project: to deeply understand the ins-and-outs of their organization and how they support these children, their families, and hearing health professionals. Then I produced an extensive communications toolkit with a wealth of strategies and techniques to effectively and clearly share their story across a variety of audiences; all with the goal of introducing Hearing First and their amazing ideas to the families who need their services the most.
nice to meet you...
Over the course of two months, I conducted dozens of interviews, both internal discovery conversations to better understand how the organization operates, and external interviews with prospective mobile app users and beneficiaries of the services the app would provide.
how do you want to volunteer?
As part of the sprints, we developed several mobile app prototypes in a carefully constructed workflow to test specific questions about feature functionality, explanatory copy, information architecture, and interface design. The resulting app examples, designed and built over a 24-hour period, were well received and highly praised by the internal team, potential volunteers, and volunteer organizers.
the center of community
We also produced a series of mock commercials, also over a one day span, to learn from church leaders what were the most effective marketing messages and visuals to explain the mobile app's purpose and how it works. I created an animation using Keynote to quickly and — according to our interviewees, effectively — showcase the heart of the app and its larger mission to mobilize volunteers for the greater good.
