The observation that mangabey dendritic cells are less susceptible to activation by SIV may explain why mangabeys do not exhibit abnormal immune activation and do not develop AIDS. Thus, in mangabeys, the generation of a less vigorous immune response to SIV may represent an effective evolutionary response to a virus that is so resistant to clearance by antiviral immune responses.
The authors suggest new treatment strategies that would steer the immune system away from over-activation, thereby protecting against the unintended damage caused by host immune responses. Such treatment approaches that focus on the host response to the AIDS virus may provide a valuable means of complementing the use of antiretroviral drugs that focus directly on inhibition of virus replication.
Understanding the particular details of Toll-like receptor signaling pathways in the mangabeys may help guide the development of specific therapeutic approaches that could beneficially limit chronic immune activation in HIV-infected humans.
"Better understanding of the biological basis by which sooty mangabeys and the numerous primate species that represent natural hosts for AIDS virus infections have evolved to resist disease promises to teach us a great deal about the emergence of the AIDS pandemic, and about the mechanisms underlying AIDS progression in humans. In addition, such insights will hopefully help inform new approaches to treat HIV infection most effectively." Feinberg says.
"Also, better understanding how natural hosts for SIV remain healthy may provide clues as to the future evolutionary trajectory of human populations in response to the profound selective pressures now being felt in regions of the world where the

Doesn't do anything particularly original, but that's not really the point. The point is the content, the script, and the wit, and in these areas it excels. [Nov 2004, p.118]
This game is satire in its sharpest form. It's self mocking, self aware attitude is always at the forefront and it makes the adventure, oh so very clever indeed.
Although The Bard's Tale doesn't offer anything new in terms of gameplay, it's the amazing story, presentation, voice acting, and sense of humor that make it a great game.
The world is detailed and interesting to be in, with only some annoying graphical issues. The dialog (written and spoken) is amazing to listen to, and funny to boot.
The content is not too different from that of a PG-13 movie, with innuendo and plenty of adult jokes. The story mocks the genre as a whole, not just one particular group of characters.
What will immediately stand out for you when playing this game is the humor. The game loves to make fun of other games in its genre and does so in a variety of different ways.
The 30-40 hours you'll get from this game are a just plain fun and singular experience that will hopefully see a follow up in the near future.
A solid RPG that doesn't take itself too seriously, but is still seriously entertaining.
Though sub-par action and cheap deaths are endemic to the Bard's quest, this title made me feel like I was taking part in a real fantasy adventure teh way few others have over the years. [Dec 2004, p.167]
The use of the Snowblind engine allowed it to effortlessly provide enjoyable hack-and-slash gameplay, while the dialogue and presentation provided the necessary charm to make The Bard's Tale stand out.
There is so much humor and such a great sense of wit, I highly recommend The Bard's Tale to anyone who has even the slightest sense of humor...With a more refined combat system -- preferably with more combos or at least less abusive AI -- the next Bard's Tale could become a true classic.
There is a noticeable delay in pressing the attack button and the attack itself. Battles are in real time, so this delay can create all sorts of havoc.
It's worth going through the hacking and slashing to get to all the winking and nodding. [Dec 2004, p.154]
This is the most fun I have had with a role-playing game in a very long time. It drips with an attitude that is wonderfully anarchic and cynical.
With a solid storyline and pretty good gameplay mechanics, we are given a game that really does help strengthen the PS2's RPG market.
While there is a certain level of frustration to be had with the gameplay, this tale is worth the twenty hour journey. The amount of humor it has and the ability to be nice or mean adds some replay to the game, enough that it holds its own compared to others in the genre.
This sarcastic, comedic Action RPG's gameplay is fundamental, solid, and almost old-fashioned in its uncluttered-ness. [Holiday 2004, p.96]
The humor is adult focused, fun and plays out through the entire game. The other gameplay elements aren't perfect but ultimately the game is a lot of fun.
It's quite tricky to evaluate this rendition of the Bard's Tale compared to the older titles in Fargo's legendary series. This is particularly true when you consider that this Bard would've skewered it with his wit.
What really makes the game shine is its main character. There really hasn't been a protagonist like the Bard.
While the repetitive combat and dated graphics keep me from awarding it the FFC Gold Star, I got a lot of mileage out of it on my own personal Fun-O-Meter.
While the melee fighting is undoubtedly excellent the magic element is the combat's greatest strength.
I couldn't put this game down. I couldn't get the one liners out of my head.
The Bard is a poor close-in fighter, but he also sucks with ranged weapons. Luckily, he has friends.
Like a really good comedy film, probably best suited as a rental.
It's an enjoyable romp, but rather short in duration and rather shallow in story.
True to its unrefined hero, THe Bard's Tale could use a little more class, depth and sophistication. Which certainly doesn't mean they're still not entertaining company to keep. [Nov 2004, p.50]
A refreshing change from the other RPGs out there. The game's good sense of humor carries the title from start to finish. On the other hand the gameplay isn't all there. It feels like a hack and slash "Diablo"-esque game that you don't actually fight in.
Such humor made me stick with this tale, which otherwise suffers from mind-numbing hack-and-slash combat and dull dungeons--action-RPG cliches that are anything but funny. [Holiday 2004, p.102]
Instead of following the tried-but-not-always-true formulas often found in fantasy RPGs, it manages to save itself by being nothing but irreverent and just a little bit rude.

Are Government Spending Multipliers Greater During Periods of Slack? Evidence from 20th Century Historical Data
A key question that has arisen during recent debates is whether government spending multipliers are larger during times when resources are idle. This paper seeks to shed light on this question by analyzing new quarterly historical data covering multiple large wars and depressions in the U.S. and Canada. Using an extension of Ramey's (2011) military news series and Jordà's (2005) method for estimating impulse responses, we find no evidence that multipliers are greater during periods of high unemployment in the U.S. In every case, the estimated multipliers are below unity. We do find some evidence of higher multipliers during periods of slack in Canada, with some multipliers above unity.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: A scenic course, not without it's ups and downsIn full: I was brought up within a mile of this course, so was well aware that this area is a lot different from the flat fens. Good marshalls and organisation, most years that country kilometre would be baked clay. Didn't see any T-shirts though.Date of review: July 3, 2007
In short: Tough with superb scenary and organisationIn full: It was a wonderful course, the organisation was superb, the marshalls cheerful & encouraging, and they even organised the weather to be nigh-on perfect. Marhalls almost outnumbered runners.Hopefully, next year you will get a few more entries ..... you certainly deserve them.Date of review: June 17, 2007
In short: Magnificent scenary. I chose it for my 50th marathon, as I've loved the Langdale area for 40 years or so. It took me 4:30, and I've never before been over 4 hrs on the road.In full: I drove around the day before, and expecting about 3 big rises per lap (having browsed the 1:50000 O.S. map), was somewhat in a state of shock to count 26 ups, 4 of them really serious at around 25%....and that was on just one lap.Date of review: November 3, 2006
In short: A good mix of open countryside & tree-covered stretches, flat and undulating (OK hilly), combined with excellent feed stations, and food at the finish, made for a wonderful day. Thank you.Date of review: July 27, 2006
In short: A cracking half.In full: Hills, yes, but the views were glorious once you got up there, and what goes up must come down..Hot, certainly, but the beauty of an evening race is that the temperature will drop as the run goes on, and that first mile hill was at least beautiful & shady. Treat the run as a good training event and you will enjoy it no end.Date of review: June 25, 2006
In short: Nice to be on traffic-free paths.In full: The wind wasn't so bad, behind at start & finish, against in the middle where we were a little sheltered by hedges. Course good, results prompt easy parking.Date of review: April 20, 2006
In short: Good scenery necessitating a lot of climbing;my E.Anglian upbringing was sorely testedIn full: Although reduced to a walk after half a mile, the downhills sections started to catch up the uphill ones, and you could begin to enjoy the run and the views, especially looking right down on Cheltenham and its famous racecourse. The tithe barn provided one of the more rustic settings for changing/tea room.Do have a cake at the end.Date of review: March 31, 2006
In short: Fantastic scenary, but very tough, especially in the near-gale-force conditions. Trails of grass, mud, rock, and a bit of sand.Not a running vest in sight as everyone is necessarily togged up to the nines. Friendly support from the drink stations.Date of review: March 6, 2006

Abhijit is the 28th nakshatra or asterism in Indian astrology system. Abhijit is the Sanskrit name for Vega, the brightest star in the northern constellation of Lyra. Abhijit means "Victorious" or "the One who cannot be defeated".
In Bhagavad Geeta, Krishna tells Arjun, that among Nakshtras he is Abhijeet, which remarks the auspiciousness of the Nakshatra.[1]
Its longitude starts from 06° 40' to 10° 53' 20 in sidereal Capricorn i.e. from the last quarter of nakshatra Uttara Ashādhā to first 1/15 th part of Shravana.[2] Hence, Abhijit nakshatra is not a regular nakshatra with four padas or quarters, it serves as an intercalary asterism most of the times. It is not mentioned as frequently as other asterisms in mythology. Moon or Chandra is said to have 27 (not 28) wives with whom he stays for one day in a sidereal lunar month. Each of the 27 asterisms is feminine, only Abhijit is masculine. Abhijit Nakshatra is an auspicious time in the Hindu Calendar.
In Astrology[edit]
In predictive astrology, those born at the moment when moon was in Abhijit nakshatra they will be highly learned and famous. They are respected by the society and live like Kings. They generally acquire top most position no matter where they works or they will have independent profession and will be among leaders. They'll be inclined towards occult. Their health may not be good especially during childhood and parents may have to suffer on some account. Marital life is ordinary and those with Chandra in Abhijit Nakshatra generally marry in between 23 to 25 years. Due to smaller size of the Nakshatra, people born under Abhijit are lesser in number.

About Avalancha
Avalancha (Spanish for "Avalanche") is the fourth and final studio album released by Spanish rock band Héroes del Silencio in 1995. It's the only album in which guitarist Alan Bogulavsky plays as a full-time member of the band. It is to date their last studio recorded album. It is considered a turning point in the Rock en Español movement of the 90's and a classic in its own right. It was produced by Bob Ezrin (Lou Reed, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Alice Cooper, Kansas, Kiss, etc.) and recorded mostly in different studios in the Los Angeles area. It was followed by a very successful 18-month world tour after which the band went on hiatus until the announcement of a 10 date world tour in early 2007. Reception: The album reached the top position in the Spanish album charts and scored positions among the top 20 in three other European countries. The video for the single "La Chispa Adecuada" was chosen as 'video of the year' at the 1996 Billboard Latin Music Awards. In other media: The title track appears as a bonus song in the game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and in the European version of Guitar Hero: On Tour.

« Four Tet and Martyn team up for new track (listen) | X Japan returning to the US, playing Madison Square Garden »
Posted in music on May 1, 2014
by Andrew Sacher
Asheville, NC's Muscle & Bone put out a self-titled EP back in 2012, and they've since signed to Black Numbers (Placeholder, Banquets) who will release their debut album, Peace & Light, on May 27 (pre-order). The album's title track, which premieres in this post, owes to '90s sad emo like the slowcore-leanings of Mineral's EndSerenading or certain Jimmy Eat World songs ("Table for Glasses" for example). The track opens with delicate clean guitar, followed by some pretty gorgeous strings, and eventually the distortion pedals get stomped on and the whole thing ends in a crashing crescendo.
Take a listen below...
Muscle & Bone - "Peace & Light"

Is kissing on the cheek considered cheating?
I was at a party on my high school the other evening. I kissed one of my boyfriends friends which is also my friend, on the cheek, because we were... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
There is no problem with it sweety. I do not why you are upset for this. Even no body bothers it. And am happy that even your boy friend does not have any issues with it. So, do not remember it and do not try to talk on this with your boy friend because it might be possible that at that he did not bother for that but now he can be irritated and may think you are getting into with his friends. Somewhat closer to other boy also. So, let it go like this, keep it as a funny moment came to your life. And just enjoy your friendship with good boy friend you already have.
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 20
It was definitely not cheating, even oral sex is not cheating !But if your boyfriend is upset then it was probably not a good idea.
I agree, a kiss on the cheek isn't cheating.But oral sex? I most definitely consider that cheating! If your girlfriend starts having oral sex with some guy, would you be okay with that? I think that is just as bad as sex, to be honest
oral sex is cheating.
Nahh, don't worry about it. Especially if it was in public, your boyfriend was about and it was just a joke I'm sure he'll be fine.If I were him and you were to tell me and say that you're afraid that I'm up sad about it, I would actually think that it's very adorable that you're worried about us when it's regarding something so small.
What Girls Said 3
Cheating? No. Highly Inappropriate? Definitely. Unless it's a family member, a friend, a gay guy, or a child, there's no reason you should be kissing someone on the cheek while you are in a relatonship. I don't think any guys or girls should be kissing someone of the opposite sex on the cheek because it can be suggesstive.

Whistler Closures
I live in Vancouver and I'm considering getting a Whistler seasons pass this year but with the Olympics coming in February I'm wondering if it's worth it. I know that most of the mountain will still be open for riding but does anyone know about highway/road closures? CBC's website doesn't exactly say a whole lot. An info on this would be helpful... thank you!

We have heard something about the pass being <$1100 this year, LESS if you live in the province and can show proof of permanent residency. Check their website or call into the resort using the local number.
Good luck to you and enjoy the riding! It doesn't do E |

I was just out in Whistler over Christmas break, I was there from the 27th to the 1st. They got dumped on on the 1st, and a lot of the mountain was closed on the 1st because of the conditions. But now that it has presumably stopped snowing, I'd definitely head up there now.
We rode mid mountain the first two days, and then went up to Spanky's ladder and Whistler bowl on the 31st after they had gotten a bit of snow. Riding was INSANE. I'm from the east coast, so I had never ridden anything like it before. Anyway, I'd say definitely go check it out before it gets crazy busy with the Olympics. Also, Longhorn was an awesome place to go drink and and have a good time. Met a good group of girls from the west coast and spent several nights partying with them at Longhorns. |

Hi Jeanettee1, i saw a video online not long after i had my daughter which said that during your baby's bath, wash their hair and then run a comb....not a brush....through their hair, as it stimulates their scalp. Once you have done this, rinse with clean water and repeat with the comb. I did this and the cradle cap that was begining to appear went and never came back. Plus i brush her hair too before bed. She has healthy shiny hair now & clear scalp and is 8 months old. Hope this is of some help to you xoxoxposted 03/16/2010 by LisaJ1117
Your baby just needs to outgrow, not much you can do. But bathe baby less frequently as frequent washings will actually worsen the condition.posted 03/17/2010 by sugar&spiceX3
I bathe my daughter every day, without fail since she was born, as it's the best way to calm her ready for bed & it never made it worse for her xposted 03/18/2010 by LisaJ1117
For Cradle Cap check out a product called Bean-B-Clean; it's a soft and safe brush made specifically for cradle cap. Using it along with baby oil or olive oil and a tear-free baby shampoo or wash will do the trick.posted 03/30/2011 by linda120

Building my first 4th order BP box, any suggestions?
2 Attachment(s)
I am building my first BP box to use in my HT setup. I am using a 12 inch car audio driver (audiopipe tsv12), I ran it on Winsid and the curve is the following. Do you think it will sound nice on a home setup? I plan on crossing it at 70 hz, but I am afraid of "one tone bass". Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance! |
With a bandpass like this, you'll only get output from about 40 Hz to 60 Hz... I think you can do better, unless you're looking at high SPL only.
Re: Building my first 4th order BP box, any suggestions?
Haha hard answer!
Thing is, WinISD suggests either a sealed or 4th order BP due to high EBP, so that´s why I am going for that design........ :xeye: |
I'm with grumpy Bill. I've never heard a bandpass sound good anywhere but in a car.
Not natural sounding Cal |
The sound quality of a 4th order bandpass isn't that great.
For kick a** bass I recommend a dual-chambered bass reflex; http://www.diysubwoofers.org/prt/dual_chamber.htm |
These are the specs of the speaker:
QTS 0,56 QMS 3,85 VAS 54,4 L QES 0,62 FS 33hz SPL 88 db RE 2x4 ohm PE 300 w Le 1,85 Xmax 8,0 Does anyone think it can work on a ported box? |
Yes, it can always work in a ported box, I never look at the EBP number.
You could tune it around 20-25 Hz I guess. |
I get 24 hz. F3 & Fb
Box size 13wx24hx22d Port 3" x 19 1/4" At 24" high the board that seperates the two chambers would be 8" So the small chamber would be 8" the large chamber would be 16". Power rating before Xmax & Port Chuffing is 150 watts. Both at 25 hz. Total box volume is 87 litres. Yes, It's Do-Able!!! |

By twhalliii | THE BACK ROW MANIFESTO by Tom Hall December 18, 2006 at 3:09AM
Caught SNL last night, which was mostly disappointing, but much like last year's terrific Lazy Sunday video, this year's Christmas episode featured a new SNL Short Film starring Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake called... well, you'll have to watch and see for yourself. I was watching the show with a friend and he made a great point that these shorts have been the absolute highlight of the show in recent months, and we both wondered why it was that whoever writes these shorts doesn't do more writing for the show itself. This is what SNL should be doing all the time!
The clip was immediately posted to YouTube by NBC, which is great but also raises the issue of Time Magazine's Person Of The Year, which the editors awarded to You (and me); The people who have been democratizing media and have been creating (and simultaneously consuming) the information exchanged on the internet. I am not sure how me linking to a silly video that NBC posted to YouTube qualifies as all that revolutionary (although a million other user-created YouTube videos certainly count), but I like this award on Time's behalf. More on this at another time.
At any rate, enjoy this note-perfect R&B (well, at least Color Me Badd circa 1991) treat which is, by the way, in no way safe for work (unless you work in a really cool place like I do). Happy Holidays!

Still, mold can hide within your home's crevices. So watch for telltale signs in addition symptoms such as unexplained runny noses, teary eyes and wheezing. "That mildewy odor is an indication," says Jeff Bishop, technical advisor to the non-profit Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. "Mold digests its food outside its body and then absorbs the nutrients through its cell wall. We digest inside our bodies, and in polite company we don't smell those gases. But molds are not that polite."

It's 1938 all over again By Melanie Phillips
The West missed its cues last time. With established historical precedent there's no excuse to dismiss Iran's stated goals as hyperbole One of Europe's most outspoken columnists -- and the winner of the prestigious Orwell Prize for journalism -- has the guts to say what few others will Please use our various "share" features to help make this SUPERB! article go viral
But Rouhani does not run Iran. The man who actually calls the shots the only man who matters is Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Earlier this week, Khamenei said the Jews of Israel
'Death to America! Death to Israel!' chanted the crowd in response. Yup, that's the agenda. Always has been. And they mean it.
That's why Iran wants nuclear weapons. That's why its nuclear program poses such a mortal threat not just to Israel but to Britain, America and Europe. That's why Iran is the principal terrorist regime in the world and why it has murdered countless western victims. That's why Britain, America and Europe said it was 'unthinkable' that Iran should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
The most stunning aspect of the Iranian war against the west, however, is that since 1979 the west has effectively denied that it is taking place. When its civilians were murdered in terrorist atrocities with Iran's fingerprints all over them, when its soldiers were blown up in Iraq by Iranian roadside bombs, when British Royal Navy personnel were kidnapped at gunpoint by Iranian forces on the high seas and held hostage for 13 days, the west turned the other way and refused to retaliate.
Iran has been protected throughout by a mysterious cloak of denial and paralysis. The west took the decision that acts of Iranian aggression and mass murder were to be absorbed without any response. For the west, war with Iran has always been seen as infinitely worse than war by Iran regardless of the body count of its innocent victims. And now this suicidal farce has reached its last act with the west tragically still in appeasement mode.
Obama's White House and Britain's Foreign Office, not to mention the apology for a statesman that is Baroness Ashton, the EU's Foreign Affairs High Representative, are gagging to do a deal with the Khamenei regime even though this has made it crystal clear that it will never yield at all on the central demand that it halt its progress towards nuclear weapons. What is currently on the table is a deal that will allow Iran to keep all its centrifuges and proceed inexorably to make its nukes, with the sanctions that have finally begun to bite being eased in return for precisely nothing. The west is now on the verge of handing to Iran on a plate what it once said was 'unthinkable'. Obama, Ashton and Cameron might as well go to Tehran and wave a white flag.
'Disagree profoundly' that the Jews are not human and like 'rabid dogs', eh. As if psychopathic racism is a debating-society proposition! But then, this is the same Kerry who told American law-makers to ignore any concerns the Israelis might express and to stop listening to them. After all, who cares what the putative victims of genocide say when they are only Jews who are still banging their own unhelpful drum! Only after Israel had expressed shock at the US response was Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the UN (who herself has a history of deeply questionable attitudes towards Israel) wheeled out to call Khamanei's remarks 'abhorrent'. Who do they think they're kidding? The hostility towards Israel being displayed by the Obama administration is as clear as it is shocking.

Green Day's New Album Is Streaming Online For Free
Green Day's new album Uno! doesn't hit stores until next week, but it's currently streaming online for free:
Green Day's new album Uno! doesn't hit stores until next week, but it's currently streaming online for free:
Second only to Madonna regarding their sheer number of VMA appearances, Green Day delivered a high-energy performance of their hit song 'Let Yourself Go' tonight (Sept. 6) after a charming introduction by Emma Watson and Ezra Miller. Despite having fallen ill during the band's recent trip to Italy, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong showed amazing signs of his recovery as he launched himself into the crowd and let the fans carry him at the end of the performance.
I'm kinda diggin Green Day's new music video, just a little bit because it stars model-hot women covered in ink. Check it out.
The end of the seemingly endless summer is upon us, and September 2012 is shaping up to be a very busy month in the world of new music releases. Massive new albums from Dave Matthews Band, No Doubt and the first of a trilogy from Green Day are leading the charge on the mainstream side of things, while hot arrivals from Mumford and Sons, the Avett Brothers and Grizzly Bear showcase the newest releases in the indie world.
Green Day just released a live video for "Let Yourself Go", a tune off their upcoming album, Uno!, which hits stores on September 25th (the first release from a trilogy). This video was recorded on November 17th of last year at a venue called the Red 7 in Austin, TX.
We know they're getting ready to release a trilogy of new albums, which makes it seem a little greedy to wonder what Green Day will do next — but if an image that recently surfaced online is to be believed, the band is planning a full-fledged tour in support of all that new music.
Green Day is working on a new album and "litterally dealing with a new sound that is *effing* with their heads". In a new video on Green Day's YouTube channel, the band and their producer talk about the album (or should I say, their "big, powerful statement?"). (Warning: the video contains explicit language).

The Space
You will receive a warm welcome in our home. It is a convenient, comfortable base from which to explore London. We are a friendly bilingual English/Argentinian couple - Carolyn was born in London and Carlos knows exactly what is is like to arrive for the first time as a visitor! We are full of advice on how to enjoy and make the most of London. We have been hosting guests for over 3 years now and we love it!
The rooms: The main bedroom is a spacious, private room with a double bed, ensuite shower room, flat screen TV/DVD and french windows leading onto its own private patio. It is relaxing and quiet. There is wifi, we provide clean towels, a hairdryer and a full continental breakfast. The second smaller bedroom is next door. It also has a double bed and its own ensuite toilet. So we can host groups of 3-4 people as long as they are happy to share the shower in the larger room. This is most suitable for families or groups of 3- 4 friends.
Our place: We live in a spacious 3 bedroom maisonette with a large garden. The house is mid-Victorian and is full of character with ornate fireplaces and other original features. You are welcome to use our beautiful kitchen diner. The house is set back from a main road with off-street parking. The bedrooms are at the back overlooking the garden so are very quiet.
*Please send a message to check availability before reserving*
Guest Access
You will have your private room(s) with ensuite bathroom, direct access to the garden and the kitchen diner where we will give you breakfast each morning. We usually keep the living room as a private space.
Interaction with Guests
This is our home so we are around to chat to you and give you advice if you need it. Carlos will usually be around at breakfast time (Carolyn at weekends). We will also give you our mobile numbers in case of any problem or emergency.
The Neighborhood
We love our location between Brixton and Clapham. When you arrive we will give you a map of the area that Carlos created with many of our favourite places to eat and drink. If you need more recommendations just ask! Vibrant, busy Brixton is a 5 minute walk. It has fantastic transport links: the Victoria line takes only 10 minutes to Green Park for Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly. It has fascinating multicultural markets, bars, cafes and restaurants. Clapham High Street is a 10 minute walk and has lots more restaurants to try out, and Clapham Common is a beautiful huge park with some great cafes close to its tube station and overlooking the park. It is great if you fancy an early morning run!
Getting around
It is very easy to reach central London from our place. The Victoria line from Brixton is 5 minutes walk away. It is a very fast connection: 10 minutes to Green Park for Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly. It is also a direct connection to St Pancras International station and also Victoria station for trains to Gatwick. There are also many buses from Brixton and Clapham to all parts of central London, to get a more scenic view of London. Many of our guests love the 88 bus from Clapham North which takes you to Westminster Abbey, Parliament Square and Trafalgar Square - it is a great tourist route!
No smoking in the house. Please be quiet when you come in at night, our bedroom is by the front door and we have to get up very early some days! You are welcome to use the kitchen diner and garden. In general we keep the sitting room as our private space.
the kitchen diner
Carolyn & Carlos are so friendly, and have much hospitality. We had comfortable & pleasant time. the house & the rooms with ENGLISH GARDEN are clean & beautiful. The fee is worth. Breakfast is beautiful. erfect!!
Great hosts. Friendly, welcoming and considerate. Good accommodation. My daughter and I had both rooms with privacy, comfortable and quiet with a nice outlook. Good location. 5-10 minute walk to Brixton station, 20 mins to the heart of London and direct line to St Pancreas. We only hope we were deserving enough hosts. Paul & Hannah
We stayed with Carlos and Carolyn for 6 nights and we felt very welcome in their beautiful place. It's very conveniently situated close to a big Tesco supermarket and to Brixton tube. Every morning there was a simple and nice breakfast waiting for us and both hosts were very generous with tips and recommendations about where to go and eat in the neighborhood. I also enjoyed our little chats about life in London and there is some amazing artwork all through the house, some made by Carlos! The room where we stayed was big and clean, we would definitely recommend it and stay there again in the future.
Hosts very warm and friendly, the home is cosy, everything was perfect. Also it was very quiet and could get a good rest every single night. Hosts also very helpful with local information, were given a map with some personal recommendations. Would definitely recommend, really happy with this experience.
Beautiful house and good host,feel just like my own home.comfortable and relax.good position,easy to everywhere.cannot forget the stay in Carolyn and Carlos 's oasis.
Vi var SÅ glade for at bo hos Carolyn og Carlos. De var de perfekte værter og hjalp os med at komme omkring og finde lokale spisesteder (dem kan vi varmt anbefale). Værelserne var helt efter beskrivelse -hyggelige og personlige. Og morgenmaden var vidunderlig! Brixton er et spændende og centralt område, hvis man skal udforske London. Vi kommer gerne igen og anbefaler gerne stedet til andre.
C&C were wonderful hosts! They were very welcoming and provided us with plenty of insider tips as far as transportation, restaurants, and attractions! Their home was absolutely stunning, and very well located, with the Underground just down the street. Would recommend them to anytime traveling through London!
We love having people to stay with us and helping them to enjoy our beautiful city of London. Carolyn is a GP and Carlos is an architect (he designed and renovated our home). Carolyn was born in London and Carlos is from Argentina and knows exactly how it feels to arrive in London for the first time as a tourist! We both love travelling, art and music. Our house is full of paintings and furniture that we have collected along the way. We have been hosting for airbnb for 3 years and we have met some fantastic, interesting people. Our rooms are private and relaxing, we are happy to chat to our guests and help when they need it or leave them to do their own thing when they want to. We hope to welcome you to our home.
