We enjoyed our weekend getaway. The cabin is spacious, and nicely decorated. It exceeded my expectations.Jean2015-03-30T00:00:00Z
William and Faith's cabin was great and the pictures do not do it justice. It is located in a very quiet and off the beaten path area, but it is a short drive to Helen. The cabin was very clean and well stocked with toiletries that I need for my weekend visit to Clayton, GA. The internet and Direct TV was very nice to have in the evening. My two guest visited for one night and they had a blast with the air hockey table. For me, the best part about the cabin was the very large bed in he master bedroom and the master shower. It was a very relaxing place to be and I would definitely love to return, especially if I can be there in the winter months.Andrew2015-06-02T00:00:00Z
We had an awesome stay. The cabin was beautiful and fully loaded. We enjoyed the hottub, jacuzzi, the stone shower and the game room. The cabin is centrally located to Walmart and Ingles. The theater seating in the TV room was fabulous. We invited some friends up for dinner and enjoyed the air hockey and foosball games. Saturday morning we discovered a mama bear and 2 cubs in the backyard near the hammock. It was definately a wonderful experience that we look forward to sharing again. I am recommending this cabin to all my friends!!! Will (the owner) was very engaging, always available for assistance. The perfect host, Thanks Will!!Kathy2011-06-13T00:00:00Z
This cabin was all we expected and more. It was perfect for a weekend getaway for my husband and I. We enjoyed it so much that we are already planning another vacation with our kids later this summer! The cabin was spacious, comfortable, bursting with amenities and made this one of our most enjoyable stay we've had in a long time. William and Faith were very easy to work with and great about answering my questions. We found the cabin clean and ready for us when we arrived. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone!Kristen2014-04-07T00:00:00Z
我的妻子和我不能说足够的了解我们是多么地爱威廉和信仰的小屋。我们一定要回去。这是完美的位置 - 足够远海伦被隐蔽,但足够接近尤尼科伊,Yonah处理器,乌鸦崖瀑布,杜克大学的小河,等等,使轻松一日游,看到一些美丽,是各地的区域。甚至当它被瓢泼大雨了整整一天,我们喜欢住在和这个美丽的乡村小屋放松。我们赞赏这一切是如何清洁是,他们清楚如何与人的方向和通信领导到我们的住宿。我们觉得很舒服,威廉和信仰都是非常专业的,他们保持自己的小屋运行的方式。谢谢你为一个伟大的住宿!Joel2015-05-28T00:00:00Z
This was a lovely location, looked just like the photos and was secluded enough to make you feel like you are the only ones around. We were thankful to have a SUV coming in as the last couple miles coming in were all gravel and uphill and it had been raining. The house was just as described and everything was provided as stated. We enjoyed spending a few nights of our honeymoon here and took advantage of the surround sound home movie theatre in the lower level. It was great! Also check out Sweetwater Coffee House down the road, it was great and the breakfast sandwiches were delicious!Jenevieve & Tommy2015-04-07T00:00:00Z
This cabin is absolutely beautiful!!! The pictures truly do not do it justice! It is very spacious and IMMACULATE. The area is perfect - remote, wooded, mountainous, peaceful, and private, but just a short drive to some great food, coffee, shops, and a spa. We had a relaxing weekend and we did not want to leave! I have stayed in tons of vacation rentals over the years and this is one of the best!Kimberly2015-03-04T00:00:00Z
Lovely hosts. Great communication. Cabin is surprisingly very LARGE & nicely appointed. Everything you need & nothing you don't need! We enjoyed the super comfy master bed, jacuzzi tub, beautiful stone fireplace, air hockey table, board games & TV room w/ recliners. Fun fire pit behind cabin, too. We got our groceries @ Ingles in Cleveland (nice store) & prepared most meals @ the cabin. Had one lunch out @ Yonah Pizza & Sub's on Helen Hwy (nice place). It was so therapeutic to get away from it all.Kristen2014-11-05T00:00:00Z

Lori was a great host and made us feel very welcome. We arrived on a very busy day for her but she still made time to greet us and show us the room. The room was really nice and private and an excellent value. I wish we would have been able to stay more days and get to try her food. We will come back if we are in the area again.Mark and Heather2015-07-14T00:00:00Z
Hostess very kind. Cozy cabin. I recomend.Andrea2016-12-29T00:00:00Z
We were very welcomed from the time we got there. We were invited to dinner, had dinner entertainment, and breakfast. It was a wonderful time.Davida2015-07-09T00:00:00Z
The room was very comfortable and clean. Lori and Dale were very nice but also respected privacy, which was good for our getaway. We were looking for quiet place to relax. Breakfast was very very good!!brad2016-02-06T00:00:00Z
Loved this place and breakfast was amazing!Mardel2016-09-19T00:00:00Z
My host Dale was an absolute joy and Lori saved my life by notifying me of a lost item before I left Chatt-town! This is a quaint nook, with lovely rustic charm-- I loved it! If you have time take a lil walk around to enjoy nature and antique touches in the surrounding community, this was my one regret that I didn't take advantage of that as I was pressed for time. All in all, a great experience that I'd highly recommend!Aya2016-11-01T00:00:00Z
Lori's place is great, super close to Ruby Falls, and Rick City! They were so nice and the place felt like home! Great Stay!Sarah2016-12-20T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful experience at the cabin! It was a first time get away for my family of non campers. It was a great blend of a cabin experience but not being all alone in the woods. The surroundings were beautiful and the decor was perfect. We are a family of four and the kids ended up jumping in to that California king size bed and we ended up cuddling as a family and loved every minute of it! What a great location! So close to so much but you don't feel like you are in the city at all. Access to harvest activities, incline rail road, Rock City, Chattanooga and so much more. Dale and Lori were wonderful hosts and knowledgeable about the area, they also were wonderful in letting our kids romp in the leaves, helped set up and keep a fire for our s'mores, let us taste fresh veggies from their garden, and even set up horse shoes so we could play as a family! We enjoyed a delicious dinner made by Lori, which we still talk about. This is truly a wonderful location and host family. We want to thank them for such a wonderful experience!Marlaina2015-10-18T00:00:00Z

这是非常和平的,大家都非常热情好客Penelope 2016-08-11T00:00:00Z
I think the cozy treehouse was the best of the bunch. It currently is the only one with screened windows, curtains, and a big mirror. I wear contacts, so I was thrilled with the mirror! Josh & staff were super friendly & accommodating. The treehouse is "at the end of the line", so we enjoyed our privacy. Also, the porch was amazing.Catherine2017-04-14T00:00:00Z
Amazing stay - did not want to leave. Great accommodations, great staff, and a truly awesome experience.Melissa2017-03-28T00:00:00Z
¡Tuvimos un rato maravilloso! La casa del árbol es acogedor y el área alrededor de ella (árboles, montañas) muy hermosas. A pesar de que Helen estaba a sólo 5 minutos de distancia, nos sentimos muy lejos de la vida cotidiana. Josh era muy servicial y hizo que nuestro viaje muy especial. Lo recomiendo!Lotte2016-11-23T00:00:00Z
Great place to stayBryson2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

What a treat! Chad's place is a little off the beaten path but great if you're looking to get away for a little while. I only stayed one night but it would have been nice to spend a lot more time there, maybe with a good book or small hobby to chip away at in the quiet getaway. Chad's house is really interesting, funky, and tasteful & Chad himself was great to chat with over coffee in the kitchen.Alexander2014-11-16T00:00:00Z
Chad's space is truly a magical experience to boost your curiosity, invigorate your imagination, and energize your soul!Brie2015-08-02T00:00:00Z
We stayed in the skylight suite and had a really great experience. We were happy that we decided to go a little over our budget and stay at the Diamond Oaks Treehouse - well worth it! The room is so charming and peaceful. We arrived just in time for sunset and had some wine on our little private balcony. We were instantly relaxed and felt welcomed and comfortable. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. Just a short ten minute drive into downtown Savannah area. The bikes were a nice addition and we enjoyed a quick bike ride down the street to Bonaventure Cemetery. The best part was being able to sleep-in in a comfortable bed and waking up to the skylight views of the oak trees. I can't say anything bad about our experience. Chad's house is wonderful and we didn't want to leave!Amanda2014-01-29T00:00:00Z
Another overwhelmingly positive review to add! Chad's home is enchanting and offers a break from reality. Every foot (maybe even inch) of the home is like discovering a treasure. Interesting, inspiring, peaceful. Quick cab ride to downtown and conveniently close to tybee island. Enjoy and thank you chad!emily2014-06-24T00:00:00Z
This is my first experience with airbnb, and it was absolutely wonderful:) treehouse is so unique I enjoyed my stay a lot. The house is so beautiful and full of arts everywhere. The bed was so comfortable me and my sister slept very well.The host is very nice and kind. Breakfast was great too, I got all I want. Thanks to chad again for making my trip greater!qiong2015-01-28T00:00:00Z
Great house, wonderful neighborhood which was incredibly restful after a few days of traveling. Lovely beds, including the treehouse which I thoroughly enjoyed! Would stay again in a heartbeat.Chelsea2012-06-08T00:00:00Z
Had a most wonderful time staying at Diamond Oaks! The house is simply fantastic and comfortable. We were made most welcome throughout our 10 day stay. We can't wait to stay again!lisa2012-07-23T00:00:00Z
My stay at Chad's place was phenomenal. To begin, his house (and tree house) are gorgeous. You will feel at home the moment you walk in. It is also just a few miles from Downtown Savannah so it is super convenient. Chad even offered us a ride downtown one night! In addition, Chad is an ideal airbnb host. He is warm, inviting, and it is obvious that he loves to host. He is very knowledgeable of the area and gave terrific recommendations. He was always around if we needed him, but was very respectful of our privacy. Every morning we woke up to a grand breakfast spread compliments of Chad. This stay, without questions, was my most pleasant airbnb experience.Aaron 2012-08-07T00:00:00Z

Enjoyed this cabin! Sean is a wonderful host, he provided a special gift and homemade lemon squares. We had a great visit and look forward to returning in the future. Beautiful cabin and great place to stay! Thank you Sean for being such a wonderful host.Courtney2015-12-21T00:00:00Z
Honestly the moment you step in the door you feel welcomed. The hand written notes, homemade treats, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, a corner full of games, candles to burn..... These all speak of how much Sean values his guests. The beauty that surrounds the cabin is so peaceful and quiet and relaxing. We've already booked again!! Thank you Sean!!Ruth2014-12-27T00:00:00Z
We had such an amazing experience in Sean's beautiful home. It was difficult to leave because of the company of family and the peace and quiet of the cabin. There were 6 adults and we were very comfortable and had plenty of space to together - or not. The Cabin is very accessible to Blue Ridge, GA which was a nice day out - and also - so much hiking. You will not be sorry to come here for a romantic get away or for a big ole family gathering. Highly recommend and I look forward to my next trip to the mountains.Brad & Chris2014-10-21T00:00:00Z
Upon arrival we were greeted by freshly made lemon bars and a custom made bread knife. There was also a cute chalkboard sign shaped like a fish welcoming us personally with our names on it. We explored the home and were blown away at the amenities. It was easy for us to sit back, relax and enjoy the home and surround grounds. We will definitely be back.Jeanne2014-11-06T00:00:00Z
The path to the creek, handmade furniture, tasteful art and small details really set this cabin apart from the rest!Stacey2016-12-22T00:00:00Z
Was für eine unglaubliche Erfahrung, meine Frau und ich hatten auf unserer Hochzeitsreise an Sean Fahrerkabine! Wir waren überwältigt von der großen Längen die Reiter gegangen, um diese Kabine ein "Schloss im Wald" machen geblasen. Die Lage und die Kabine bietet Privatsphäre, Natur und ein schönes Haus, um alles zu genießen. Sean war während des gesamten Prozesses sehr hilfreich. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder! Danke Reiter Familie!Sereya2014-03-16T00:00:00Z
We had an amazing time celebrating my husband's 30th birthday and our second wedding anniversary at Sean ' s cabin. If you're looking for a secluded getaway...this is the place for you. Make sure to purchase groceries before you arrive! The cabin is everything we hoped for and more and we look forward to returning some day with friends and family. The cabin was filled with everything we needed for the week in terms of amenities. The Roku was an added bonus! Thanks for your hospitality, Rider family!Lauren2014-10-11T00:00:00Z

George is a very gracious and kind, understanding host. I sincerely appreciated George catering to my very specific situation. I am sure anyone that rents from George will find him to be just as kind and hospitable.angelina2015-11-09T00:00:00Z
We had a tremendous time on our stay in Georgia. Everything was perfect! We would love to come back and stay again in the future.Thanks George!Stacy2015-10-18T00:00:00Z
Очень специальный охотничий кабины расположены на 884 акров собственности. Картина выглядит небольшой снаружи, но он большой внутри. Got 3 спальни, кухня и гостиная. Будет ли снова вернутьсяChip2015-12-30T00:00:00Z
George made me more than welcome. I wish I had time to get to know him better. We would have gotten along well. The cabin was perfect. I put some pictures on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) and many of my followers wanted to know if it could be rented to them.Wayne2016-03-12T00:00:00Z
This little cabin is in such a great, private location, and George is so friendly and helpful! He was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was great and well-stocked for preparing meals, and the bed was super comfy too! We hope to come back for another stay soon.Bailey2015-08-09T00:00:00Z
Любил каждую минуту этого. Кабина прекрасна и Джордж был великим хозяином. Вы не можете бить окружение и что кровать была супер удобные !!Christa2016-02-29T00:00:00Z
Gran manera cabina privada en el bosque. Agua huele un poco como el azufre debido a que en el agua de pozo, por lo que definitivamente llevar mucha agua embotellada. Muy relajante y tranquila!Jason2016-11-25T00:00:00Z

Andrew was a fantastic host. He met us at the property, showed us round the treehouse, and explained how it was built. He couldn't have been more helpful with a couple of additional requests. The treehouse itself is beautiful, inside and out. Very stylish and a great night away - wish we had stayed longer.Jon2016-04-30T00:00:00Z
Nothing short of complete wow! thus was by far my most enjoyable travel experience and accommodation ever (and I have had loads of great travels). Andrew and his team literally could not be more tuned into the experience which they are delivering to their guests. As a fellow host, I learned so much from him and this incredible chance to be a guest of his. I cannot wait to make the journey back to Chattonooga and stay again with the treehouse project. (oh and chart is the fyl-est city in the southeast)Catherine2016-04-01T00:00:00Z
If you want a unique experience surrounded by nature, this is it. It was beautiful, and there were lots of nice little touches everywhere. Plus, you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but Chattanooga is right down the road!Meaghan2016-08-27T00:00:00Z
This place is a dream! We had our small wedding here and stayed in the treehouse for a long weekend, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect location. Everything was exactly as described, Andrew was so wonderful throughout the whole process and the property is gorgeous. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay near the city but feel like they're secluded. I love the small town close by and the drive to downtown is so easy! I love what Andrew has done and his ideas and dreams for the property. We can't wait to go back!Caitlyn2016-10-18T00:00:00Z
The treehouse is an amazing place for a getaway. Listed as is with mystical touches. Would recommend and stay again the future!Catherine2017-03-12T00:00:00Z
Andrew made it easy to check in a get comfortable. I wish I'd taken my booties because its that time of year to keep your toes warm. It definitely has character.Marten2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
We had an incredible time at the treehouse! It is beautifully decorated and super cozy! Andrew provided us snacks, tea and coffee that were local to the area. It is also in a great location, very close to downtown Chattanooga and the riverfront.Christie2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Adorable, comfortable and very convenient to all that Athens has to offer. Felt like a vacation!Mimsy2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
The guest house at the Pink Chimney was a VERY clean and stylish place to stay. It was only four blocks from downtown which made walking to the bar scene very safe a do-able. Over all a great place to stay.Zachary2016-12-28T00:00:00Z
Perfect location, less than five minutes to downtown and UGA. Small, but very clean and a nice change from the hotel scene. Quiet, historic residential area. Great place to take a walk in the evening. Hosts are nice, and entirely respectful of your privacy.Joseph2016-10-26T00:00:00Z
Brand new adorable guest house in a great location! Hosts were very accommodating and quick to reply to questions and requests, and also provided a wonderful welcome package! The location could not be better...close to downtown in a beautiful historic district. Would definitely stay there again!Kim2016-10-15T00:00:00Z
The house was just as described! It was the perfect size and in a great location to downtown and campus! Matt and Ashley provided great directions and provided everything we could need.Duke2017-03-31T00:00:00Z
La dimensione della pensione era perfetto per noi due ed era estremamente accogliente. Aveva la sensazione della vostra propria piccola casa che è stato meraviglioso. Abbiamo dovuto fare un viaggio fuori per shampoo, balsamo e sapone per le mani, come tutte le bottiglie della casa erano vuote - Io onestamente non sono sicuro se questi sono stati appena lasciato da qualcun altro o no, noi di solito portare la nostra, ma non ha fatto in questa occasione quindi non era un affare enorme, solo un po 'scomodo. Purtroppo, non possiamo rave circa la birra locale i padroni di casa ci hanno lasciato in frigo perché non abbiamo avuto alcuna. I padroni di casa erano fuori e ci ha fatto consapevoli che sono stati, ma ci hanno detto che avrebbero lasciare un po 'sotto il portico prima di partire. Non abbiamo mai fatto ricevere alcun che era un enorme delusione per il mio fidanzato birra-amante. A parte queste due ricorrenze, però, abbiamo avuto un ottimo soggiorno. I padroni di casa erano facili da entrare in contatto con e veloce a rispondere. Hanno caffè locale che era incantevole. Abbiamo avuto la pensione per noi quindi è un ottimo luogo di soggiorno per chi cerca un po 'di privacy. Grazie y'all per una piacevole Airbnb soggiorno!Ashley2017-01-08T00:00:00Z

Joni was great! Very helpful and in touchAndrew2016-08-15T00:00:00Z
Joni et sa fille étaient incroyablement accueillant et chaleureux. Ils courent un petit magasin / restaurant où vous pourrez prendre le petit déjeuner, le déjeuner ou un dîner tôt et de trouver des bases de camping que vous pourriez avoir oublié. La propriété est très propre et bien marquée. Ils ont probablement l'un des plus propres thermes de camping que je connaisse. Le Treehouse lui-même est l'une des expériences de camping les plus uniques jamais. Il est le camping de luxe, et vous devrez l'essayer pour vous-même pour comprendre à quel point génial et il est spécial.Susan2016-08-01T00:00:00Z
Everything was great, listing was everything we expected! A lot more private than we expected.Tyler2016-10-02T00:00:00Z
Le Treehouse était merveilleux! Il était si grand dormir sous les étoiles! Le lit était confortable et le plus chaud a fait son travail! Joni a laissé un grand classeur rempli d'endroits pour manger et des sentiers de randonnée! Nous avons fait une randonnée sur le pont oscillant qui était vraiment génial ... Nous avons eu un merveilleux moment d'aventure! Ne peut pas attendre de revenir!Courtney 2017-03-21T00:00:00Z
Had a wonderful weekend getaway. The treehouse is well equipped with all the basics, including fantastic night time fires, fresh morning coffee, and a good warm bed! Highly recommend the hike to the falls and swinging bridge too.Lynn2017-02-12T00:00:00Z
The novelty was sleeping in the trees and just being unplugged with my teens. So many good hiking trails in the area.Rebecca2016-12-26T00:00:00Z
We loved staying in this unique treehouse. Was fun for us and our dog enjoyed being there too. Thanks for having us. Loved it, would book it again and totally recommend it. :)Julia2017-04-20T00:00:00Z
Another very satisfied guest here. I was only able to stay for one night as we were passing through, however I have already been looking at my vacation time to see about a longer trip to this mountain paradise. It was exactly as described with no "surprises" that you fear you will run into on a vacation. My favorite part was that the bed was so easy to roll out on the deck and that is where I slept, under the stars. It was a breezy night and the trees swaying in the wind and the rustling of the leaves made for a lullaby you just don't get everywhere. The canopy was so gorgeous that I found myself fighting sleep so I could just gaze at the sky all night. Then I awoke at about 3 am to see the moon shining through the trees and it was so magical. Enough of the "ZEN" factor. If you plan ahead as directed you will have everything you need. The tree house was easily accessible, clean, well stocked, and even though it is in a campground, you are secluded and not bothered by others in the area. Your level of outdoor experience will determine if you need to bring anything more then directed to. Such as a lot of folks don't realize that turning on lights in the woods attracts bugs. So I had a small flashlight for walking around with so I didn't have to use the lights and attract the bugs to where we were preparing the food. A spotlight was provided so that was very helpful too. The bath house was just a short walk, but the incline back up was a little steep, so we did use the facilities provided in the tree house. It is basically a bedside commode instead of a campers commode, no chemicals or flushing involved. I can't wait for a return visit, give it a try. You won't be sorry.Carla2017-05-18T00:00:00Z

凱特的家是建立與意向:綠色能源和管道。空間是一個可愛的手工製作小屋。它是一個單一的旅客或情侶的完美尺寸。美麗的農場設置,豪華安靜,超級靠近雅典市中心的餐飲,購物等 我會喜歡凱特見面,讓她知道我是多麼喜歡她的生活方式。她探望她的孫子新生。她盡一切努力確保我很舒服,很好的照顧。Jessica2017-02-08T00:00:00Z
這間小屋是驚人的。可愛的小地方的一個很可愛的小鎮。凱特和她的丈夫都非常好。我唯一感到失望的是,我們不能把他們在他們的咖啡和談話的報價。我將在這裡再次希望很快入住的。我會找任何藉口,我可以拿出雅典幾個晚上! 請你幫個忙,並留在這兒!Brandon2016-10-28T00:00:00Z

Ken & Tracie certainly made us feel welcome, from beginning to end!! They did a great job keeping in touch with us and making sure we had everything we needed. The home was perfect for my friend and me. From the comfortable furniture to the beautiful decor, we felt very much at-home.Brooke2016-04-18T00:00:00Z

Ken and Tracie keep in touch with us during the trip, making sure all are fine. The place is clean, cozy and really feels like home! I stayed with my mom, sis and bf (who is a local) and we love the place. Neighbourhood is quiet in general so it's very suitable to relax and just have some family time. Definitely will be coming back to stay if the three of us come to visit again.Sri Ayu2016-04-01T00:00:00Z
Ken and Tracie were very prompt at responding to my request for this listing!! Sadly , my grandpa passed away very unexpectedly and my mom , brother and I needed a place to stay for the weekend that would be close to family and the funeral home in Augusta. Within less than 20 minutes Ken and Tracie responded to my request !! This was such a blessing. And their space went above and beyond expectations! No false advertising here! The space is quaint and very cozy! They are close to lots of restaurants , and healthy places like Fresh Market, Kroger and Whole Foods. I would definitely recommend them! They truly are SUPER hosts !!! Thanks again !!!Briana2016-02-22T00:00:00Z
What a wonderful stay at Tracie and Ken's townhouse. They were fabulous hosts- showing true southern hospitality and were a wealth of information about the neighbourhood and the city. the townhome was perfect for our needs- very well maintained and very adequately stocked. The hosts even went to the trouble of providing some cold drinks, fruit and muffins for our arrival. The townhome was fully stovked for our stay- enough towels, sheets, blankets etc and a very well stocked kitchen with nothing to wish for. Location was great- a lovely quiet residential area very close to everything we needed. *Right* next door to the Augusta National golf course, less than 1 km to Washington Rd and all the imentities there. 10 minutes to downtown, the historic area and the medical college. Our kids played tennis each day at Evans and my husband ran at Savannah River Rapids each day- also a short drive away. We will be back!Courtley2015-07-11T00:00:00Z
Wonderful house with all the amenities needed. Very clean and the home was very comfy and welcoming. Easy access to the gym and pool. Close by to restaurants and supermarkets. Ken and Tracie were very easy going and easy to reach. Would definitely recommend anyone who is stopping by in Augusta to stay here.Mo2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
this was a good stay for us, daddy and his 2 daughters. Very clean, good organized, no problem at all. best wishes to tracie and kenLou2014-05-01T00:00:00Z

Awesome place. Warren was there to great me right when I arrived, and the room was immaculate. Excellent location, too.William2015-06-12T00:00:00Z
Warren has a phenomenal room and a phenomenal cat. Loved his place.Kevin & Adriana2015-04-29T00:00:00Z
Just had a quick trip to Athens - selected Warren's place as it look modern and it delivered. Warren was a nice host and yes Perry does greet you as you arrive with a welcoming meow. The place is really nice and I would play on staying here on my next visit. I understand the upper level is also available and would recommend it if you need a bigger space with a kitchen and living room.Gary2014-07-03T00:00:00Z
Warren was very helpful in offering ride and providing suggestions for places to eat nearby. I was visiting Athens and I had booked only for 2 nights but I could not stay for the 2 nights because my friends offered me to stay at their place. Though I could not stay at Warren's place, I would suggest this place to anyone looking to stay in Athens because it is conveniently located and clean.Shimul2014-10-10T00:00:00Z
Warren's place was amazing!! I loved the private back entrance. Everything was immaculately clean, cleaner than 95 percent of the hotels I've stayed in in my life. He had so many thoughtful details around the space. And Perry was one of the most personable cats I've ever encountered, I absolutely adored him. Athens is a fantastic city, and I will definitely be back at Warren's for my next visit!! It was perfect. Thanks again!Laura2015-04-17T00:00:00Z
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Schnell zu reagieren und entgegenkommend.Rand2014-05-04T00:00:00Z
Warren war ein toller Gastgeber (sehr flexibel und entgegen) und sein Platz war sehr schön! Sehr modern, sauber und komfortabel.Amanda2014-07-06T00:00:00Z
Warren was a great host- very welcoming and responsive. His house is lovely, very clean with plenty of space, and if you're lucky like we were, Perry will greet you at the door. Would definitely stay here again, thanks Warren!KATIE2014-05-26T00:00:00Z

My wife and I wanted a quiet, peaceful getaway for her birthday, and we got exactly what we wanted. The location is so quiet, serene and accommodating that you'll regret having to leave. The entire space is so cozy, so well appointe(URL HIDDEN)could go on for days. I'm sure I will be having dreams about the serenity we felt during our stay. Can't wait to get back again already!andre2015-02-10T00:00:00Z
My husband and I have been to big canoe and have stayed in a different tree topper for the past two years for our anniversary but this year we decided to try airbnb out! First experience and it was incredible! We loved Georiga's place. Perfect for two, romantic touches all around, all the essentials and a super comfy bed! We also loved the amazing view! It was great having the TV visible from both the bed and sofa and we enjoyed having fires in the wood burning stove! Georgia also provided tea and coffee which was a nice touch, and the kitchen had all the essentials you would need. We cooked every meal in and used the grill a few times. Georgia was great to work with and promptly answered all our questions. Had the best anniversary trip relaxing in the mountains and will definitely be back for years to come!Sarah2015-03-07T00:00:00Z
We had an amazing weekend there... Again! Yes, my husband and I have stayed here twice now, and it is a perfect mountain getaway. We will definitely be back again!Cindy2016-08-01T00:00:00Z
Such a beautiful location! This home is so Corey and romantic, might make you fall in love really! The view is absolutely amazing! Hiking all around, beautiful scenery! Sunrise shines through the windows, it's an amazing way to wake up! I will definitely be visiting again!Kayli2016-03-25T00:00:00Z
We loved this adorable place and the views were gorgeous! We felt right at home. Georgia has created a perfect romantic getaway. I would absolutely stay here again and again.Michelle2015-03-04T00:00:00Z
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay here. If you're looking for a getaway, this is the place for you. It is secluded and quiet and away from the big city life!Alyssa2017-03-09T00:00:00Z
We certainly picked the right place to get away from it all! I could have sat and enjoyed the view from the deck all day long. So peaceful with no disturbances from neighbors and only the bird life and deer to entertain us from our perch in the trees! Georgia's place made for a perfect, cosy getaway: we enjoyed exploring the numerous hiking trails within the community and drove out to Jasper for dinner one evening. We struggled a little with preparing our meals in the tiny kitchen as we like to cook from scratch - the property is definitely better suited to grilling out or making simple, one pot recipes and bear in mind that if you are staying more than a few days, the mini fridge may not hold all your groceries! Nevertheless, we secretly hoped no one had booked after us so that we could extend our (URL HIDDEN) luck this time, but we look forward to a future trip.Liz2016-09-30T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic stay at Rick's place. The cottage is really charming and has everything you need. It's in a great part of town, really near to Forsyth park and a lovely walk up to the water front area. It takes about 20 mins to walk but there's loads to see along the way. Rick was a great host. Very communicative and helpful, even going out of his way to drop off an umbrella on a rainy day. I'd thoroughly recommend staying here.tom2015-03-22T00:00:00Z
I stayed at Rick's cottage as a single traveler for the Savannah Book Festival weekend in February. The cottage was a wonderful place to rest after a long day. It was well equipped and close enough to walk everywhere. I felt safe and comfortable. I did develop a Rum Runners Bakery habit as it is only a block away! I liked the neighborhood and met some interesting, friendly people. I will definitely be back.Donna2015-02-16T00:00:00Z
Rick's cottage was perfect for our stay in Savannah. It was definitely worth staying there versus paying for a hotel. It is cozy and comes fully stocked with anything you may need. Rick was on time with letting us in and giving us a tour of the cottage.Lauren2014-08-18T00:00:00Z
Rick was a great host. He was quick to respond to texts, met us at the cottage when we arrived, and provided useful information about Savannah. The cottage had all the conveniences of home. We appreciated the food and drinks in the fridge, and the chocolates. We enjoyed hanging out in the patio out back, surrounded by greenery. The cottage was conveniently located, and felt safe walking back to after dark.Melanie2014-10-29T00:00:00Z
My husband and I are frequent Savannah-goers and the Forsyth Cottages could not be beat - so much charm and a convenient location. The cottage was only blocks from "the park" and a bike ride or pedi-cab to/from downtown was a breeze. The cottage itself was clean and lovely. The living room was bright and airy; the cafe table in the backyard was perfect for morning coffee (which Rick had supplied). It was certainly a cozy spot to relax after a long day of frolicking around town. Rick was a gracious host and we will certainly stay again if he will have us.Amy2014-07-07T00:00:00Z
We had a FANTASTIC stay at the cottage on Waldbug Lane! It was MORE than we had expected- great location, beautifully kept- with lots of nice touches throughout. Rick is a wonderful host- full of great information, he makes you feel warmly welcomed. There were snacks, chocolates and such in the house. It was an easy walk to Forsyth park- and very handy to use the DOT transport. We would definitely return to this location or any of Ricks other properties.Steve2016-06-18T00:00:00Z
The cottage is even more charming and actually more open and spacious than it appears in the pictures! We were a quick walk to Forsyth Park and everything cute near it, and Rick left us a map with detailed directions for how to access the downtown connector and lots of materials for fun things to do. The kitchen works great if you're planning to make a meal while you're there, and the Kroger is right around the corner. You can't park on the street in front of the cottage, but parking on the main streets is super easy.Sarah2014-08-22T00:00:00Z
Rick's communication with us prior to our visit was excellent. While we were there he was available to answer any questions that we had and our arrival went smoothly. The cottage was just as it was portrayed, small but comfortable and well-furnished. We especially appreciated the well equipped kitchen and having access to condiments, coffee, etc. The neighborhood is certainly eclectic which we found interesting and comfortable. A great benefit of this location is its proximity to Forsythe Park and the ease in walking anyplace in the historic district. The pocket parks and related history are fascinating. We thank Rick for his hospitality and highly recommend his place for people who want to experience "real" Savannah. Randy and Nancy - Daytona Beach FLRandy2015-04-16T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved our stay here! it was very quiet and comfortable and in a great location! we would definitely stay here again in the future. also the host and caretaker were very kind and welcoming when we checked in and were very willing to offer their help if needed which was awesome!Jeannie2016-08-16T00:00:00Z
The house was just as advertised, So charming! Richard and Cole were great. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in Savannah.Pam2016-11-14T00:00:00Z
A great place to stay. In a quiet neighborhood yet still close to everything. Richard has snacks, coffee and basics in the fridge, along with anything else you may need, right down to a bar of salted chocolate. I forgot my razor, thank you Richard for having one! He has great recommendations and is there if you need him, otherwise you are on your own. The perfect host! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Tiffany and RobTiffany2016-10-19T00:00:00Z
We loved this place! It has an artistic vibe to it. The colors, artwork, collectibles, and layout just works in a way that makes you feel comfortable can cool (as in the Fonz). It was a fantastic place to come back to after spending a few hours or a day away exploring the city. Richard was an excellent host as he let us know he was there if we had any questions, but also gave us complete privacy. He texted us during our stay to make sure we were doing okay, and he offered us a couple of bikes he has at the property to use. He has a couple of binders -- one with menus, and one with house info. There were also a lot of tourist brochures. He even left us some Perc coffee, strawberry, cereal, eggs, milk, and yogurt in the fridge. There were also some waters and orange juice. AWESOME! There was also Savannah Bee hand soap and tea honey which was very nice, we ended up buying a lot of these at the store. The location is excellent, it is very close to get to the historic sites and there are some great places to eat nearby. I would totally recommend this place to a friend and would definitely stay here again in the future!Paul2012-08-08T00:00:00Z
I really can't say enough good things about Richard's beautiful place in Savannah. It's an easy walk to downtown, but you might be tempted to sit in the lovely garden and enjoy breakfast treats on the sunlit porch. The apartment is cozy, comfortable, beautiful, spacious. To sum up, the carriage house is an oasis in the heart of Savannah. Richard is a gracious host, and the apartment reflects that. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!Claire2014-04-02T00:00:00Z
Richard was away for the week we stayed, however, he was very helpful and had already arranged for another host to show us around. The place was flat out amazing! PERFECT for a couples getaway. The carriage house has everything you need, the fridge was stocked with organic breakfast foods, the AC keeps the place very cool, and the bathtub is an exceptional feature. It was our first time in Savannah and having bicycles available was a huge plus. Location is great: the beach (Tybee Island) is within driving distance and the historic district is very quaint, filled with parks, shops and delicious food... Richard provides all the info you need. We will definitely come back!Jessica2014-06-22T00:00:00Z
My friend and I had such a great experience. The house and neighborhood were so peaceful that we felt like we were in a cabin in the woods, but with the conveniences and great food that a city provides. Richard was a wonderful host. We were so sad to leave and can't wait to stay there again.Adrienne2014-09-11T00:00:00Z
Awesome place! We had such a great get away weekend. My wife's favorite part was the bikes that come with the place lol. Over all this place was exactly what we needed!Austin2015-08-04T00:00:00Z

Great apt in a great location. So well equipped and comfortable. Large bedroom and bathroom. Coffee and snacks included! Detailed instructions for check in provided. It really was perfect! Will definitely return!Sue2016-06-20T00:00:00Z
The location, the apartment, and the host were all wonderful! We highly recommend this listing, and will look for it again ourselves the next time we visit Atlanta. It is centrally located in the walkable downtown neighborhood of Grant Park (zoo, park, playground, brewery, farmers market, shops) and a short drive to all the downtown attractions and transportation. We have lived in this neighborhood ourselves previously, so we are very familiar with the area. It is a safe, quiet, historic neighborhood, and this location is an ideal base for visiting Atlanta. The apartment was is great condition, very private, well stocked with little treats, and the perfect size for our family (2 adults, 1 toddler). Serap even lent us a few toys and books to help our son feel at home. A very comfortable bed (more so than many hotels!), wifi, and a small kitchenette with mini-fridge all made this a very practical choice for a traveling family. Beyond the great location, the hosts really made this apartment a "five star" stay. They provide detailed directions in advance, helped us into the apartment when we had trouble with the lock (our own fault for misinterpreting directions), left treats and toys to help our son feel welcome, and clearly put a lot of thought into the setup of the apartment. In a matter of hours, our toddler was already calling them "my friends"!Brian2016-03-11T00:00:00Z
Such a great place and most deserving of the #1 airbnb title! Serap was a wonderful host. She responded promptly to our inquiry and provided clear instructions, as well as information about things to do and places to eat in the area. In addition to being a well decorated space, the apartment has all of the amenities that you need. The snacks, coffee, and drinks were a nice touch. By far our most favorite airbnb stay!Kayan2015-11-19T00:00:00Z
Location, location, location! This place was in a beautiful neighborhood in Atlanta. Close enough to downtown and really close to some awesome food/bars. It was a perfect spot for us, plenty of space and a nice little kitchen too. Parking was no problem and the apartment was easy to access if you follow the instructions. The hosts were great! Would highly recommend!Ted2016-07-05T00:00:00Z
Nice little place to stay in Atlanta, especially if you have a dog. Easy check in/out and private.Eva2016-03-16T00:00:00Z
Overall wonderful experience! The apartment was comfortable to stay in, and Serap's instructions and welcome guide made it easy to get acquainted with the apartment and the neighborhood. Serap was a lovely host, and had excellent recommendations for places to eat or see. We were the first to stay in the newly renovated bathroom, and when I told Serap that there wasn't hot water in the bathroom she got in touch right away with the contractor to try and fix the issue (the new bathroom is beautiful though!). The neighborhood is so quaint and safe, if our stay was longer we would have taken a walk around the block. I definitely see why this listing was rated #1 in Atlanta in 2015!Polly2016-05-09T00:00:00Z
Book this apartment! My husband and I, and our dog, had a wonderful two night stay. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day in Atlanta. The bedroom is cozy and the bathroom and kitchenette are very clean and accommodating. There were snacks and toiletries available for us. We were able to get to a lot of attractions on foot, and for an evening out, lyft was readily available. The neighborhood is quiet, and there are several cafes and stores in the surrounding area. Serap and Jason were so welcoming to us and our dog. They are the most hospitable hosts we've ever had. We highly recommend this listing!Stephanie2017-03-18T00:00:00Z
My fellow mom friend and I were looking for a cozy space to share a girl's weekend sans babies and husbands. We had the best time! Serap was so warm and friendly. She communicated with us during our trip and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The location was perfect! We walked to the MLK historic area 2.2 miles away. We passed the zoo, lots of great shops and restaurants, and the Oakland Cemetery, which was beautiful! Serap and Jason had snacks in the kitchenette and drinks in the fridge. The towels were soft and fluffy, the bed was cozy, & the tv kept us entertained. We felt safe, at home, & extremely comfy! We will stay here again if we ever make it back for another girly weekend! Thank you for everything!!Natalie2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

Bacheller, Irving: Vergilius. V1. 8 Feb 2009
Born in Pierrepont, New York, Irving Bacheller graduated from St. Lawrence University in 1882 after which he accepted a job with a New York City newspaper. Two years later, he established a business to provide specialized articles to the major Sunday newspapers. It was through the Bacheller Syndicate that he brought to American readers the writings of British authors such as Joseph Conrad, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Rudyard Kipling. And, to the reading public he introduced New Jersey author Stephen Crane through arranging the serialization of his story, The Red Badge of Courage.
A Tale of the Coming of Christ
Rome had passed the summits and stood looking into the dark valley of fourteen hundred years. Behind her the graves of Caesar and Sallust and Cicero and Catullus and Vergil and Horace; before her centuries of madness and treading down; round about her a multitude sickening of luxury, their houses filled with spoil, their mouths with folly, their souls with discontent; above her only mystery and silence; in her train, philosophers questioning if it were not better for a man had he never been born*deeming life a misfortune and extinction the only happiness; poets singing no more of pleasantries and trifles, but seeking favor with poor obscenities. Soon they were even to celebrate the virtue of harlots, the integrity of thieves, the tenderness of murderers, the justice of oppression. Leading the caravan were types abhorrent and self-opposed*effeminate men, masculine women, cheerful cynics, infidel priests, wealthy people with no credit, patricians, honoring and yet despising the gods, hating and yet living on the populace. Here was the spectacle of a republican empire, and an emperor gathering power while he affected to disdain it.

With less than an indie label, the unsigned Endless Sporadic have caught a large amount of their fan base through video games such as the Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero series, leaving the rest up to word of mouth. ;)
Listen to one of my favorites, Impulse. It shows their versatility quite well, from funky sounds to harder ones, slow to fast, it's basically a showcase of talent.
And if you actually like the video game sound, you can check out the more mellowed The Adventures of Jabubu. I'd also ask you to say Jabubu out loud. It's quite fun! Jabubu.
But really, it kinda sounds like music from a high quality 8-bit game. If that's you're thing, you'll enjoy it. I know I do.
And a bit of info on the duo is necessary, the band consists of Zach Kamins with the guitar, bass and keyboards, and Andy Gentile with drums and percussion and whatnot. The duo are unsigned so they can use any and all support that the people who truly enjoy their music can offer!
So check out their website here. And check out the discography here. (I still need to get myself their self titled album..)
Oh also, their myspace. Like, if you still use that or something. What are you, 12? (No offense if you really are.)

Warning: deathfic. Break out the Kleenix box before reading.
Author's Note: Based on characters and situations from DC Comics, Pet Fly Productions, Warner Bros., and a whole batch of other people, none of whom are me. This was written for the recycling 'zine A Small of Friends from Neon RainBow Press -- the goal of Small Circle was to take the plot from one TV show, and retell it with the characters and situations from another show. This story started life as a Birds of Prey episode, but is retold here as a Flash story. Oh, and I borrowed one character from KF: TLC, who lived and worked in Central City before moving to Sloanville.
When the Bough Breaks
The Flash
Based on the Birds of Prey episode "Three Birds and a Baby"
Rewritten by Susan M. M. for A Small Circle of Friends
Rock a bye baby, in the treetop,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall.
Down will come baby, cradle and all.
November 5, 1990, Central City
Barry Allen, aka the Flash, ran through the streets of Central City at 70 mph. No one saw him in the dark except one old wino. The wino watched the scarlet-clad speedster run past, then looked at the half-finished bottle with respect.
"Darn, that stuff's stronger than I thought." Enthusiastically, he took another swig.
Barry continued his patrol. He was just about to quit for the night and go home for a pizza or two when he heard screams in the distance. He changed direction, heading toward them. As he got closer, he could hear the sounds of a scuffle and followed the noise until he saw a woman on a fire escape over an alley. Two men were tussling with her.
"Call 911," Barry yelled, hoping one of the neighbors would obey. He was about to hurry up the fire escape when something white fell. Looking up, he was shocked to see a baby falling. Instinctively, he caught it.
Two more men rushed out of the shadows to attack him. Cradling the baby in one arm, he kicked one, knocking him against a dumpster. He slammed his left arm out straight, flattening the second man. Barry set the baby down on the lowest platform of the fire escape. He grabbed the first man and threw him into the dumpster. He headed toward the second man, who took one look at him, scrambled to his feet, and ran away. Barry picked the baby up again and went up the fire escape, only slightly faster than a normal human, out of consideration for the infant nestled against his chest.
He heard footsteps running as he went up, and guessed that the other assailants were escaping out the apartment door. He didn't worry. He knew it would be easy to catch up with them.
"Ma'am, I've got your baby." Barry looked down at the woman lying on the fire escape platform. A knife protruded from her chest. He swore quietly. "Sorry, kid, guess I shouldn't say that in front of you."
Dr. Tina McGee pulled on her bathrobe and hurried to her condo door. "This had better be good. It's two o'clock in the morning." She opened her door, and saw the Flash standing there. "Couldn't this wait until morning?"
"Nope." Barry held out the baby to her.
"What? What's this? Where did it come from?" The brunette scientist stepped back so Barry and the baby could come inside.
"It's a baby. You've heard of 'em, right? Little critters, cry a lot? And you being a scientist and all, I figured you already know where they come from," Barry said.
"I know about the birds and the bees," Tina retorted. "But where did this one come from? It's not yours, is it?"
"Of course not! I found it."
"So you mistook my place for the lost and found department?"
"I didn't know what else to do. The mother was murdered. I wasn't in time to stop them." Barry pushed the baby at her. "I didn't know what else to do with it."
Reluctantly, awkwardly, Tina took the squirming bundle. "You could have taken to Social Services, or a hospital, or something."
Barry shook his head. "Someone killed its mother. Somebody sent four men after her. That wasn't a robbery gone bad, that was a deliberate murder. Until we know who she was, and why she was killed, the baby might be in danger, too."
"Barry, it's hardly a witness at its age."
"What if whoever killed the mother was after the baby? I couldn't take the chance."
The baby began to cry. Tina sniffed. "I think you'd better go out for some diapers."
Barry stood in the aisle and stared in dismay. Pampers. Huggies. Luvs. Always Save. Newborn. 8-14 pounds. 16-28 pounds. 22-37 pounds. Pull-ups. Just for boys. Just for girls. He hadn't even checked to see if the baby was a boy or a girl. In desperation, he grabbed four different sorts and threw them in the cart.
"There, there, please don't cry," Tina begged the wailing infant. She began to sing softly, hoping to calm the child. "Rock a bye baby, in the treetop, when the wind blows, the cradle will rock. When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. Down will come baby, cradle and all. Ugh," she muttered to herself, "what a morbid thing to sing to a child." She racked her brain to think of a more cheerful lullaby.
The cashier rolled her eyes and tsked at the depth of male ineptitude. "Four packages of diapers, different sizes, a six-pack of plastic bottles, one can of formula, two frozen pizzas, and a candy bar. Either you're opening a daycare, or you got stuck babysitting and you forgot to ask how old the kid is," she guessed.
"My cousin's kid," Barry lied.
"Save the receipts," the cashier advised. "As long as you don't open 'em, you can bring back the ones that are the wrong size."
Barry nodded.
"I'm back," Barry announced, as he let himself into Tina's condo.
"Shhh. Guy's sleeping," Tina whispered.
"Guy?" He carried the grocery bags to the kitchen.
Tina followed him. "Well, I couldn't keep calling him 'it.' It's November fifth, so I named him Guy."
"I hate the name Guy." Barry glanced at the microwave directions on the side of the pizza box.
"It's a perfectly good name," Tina replied. She sorted through the packages of diapers. "This one, I think."
"You named him after a terrorist?"
One delicate brown eyebrow rose. "A terrorist?"
"Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament, didn't he? And Guy of Gisbourne was the bad guy," Barry winced at the unintentional pun, "in the Robin Hood stories. And, and, Guy Gardner," he added
"Who's he?"
"Went to junior high with him. He was a real jerk." Barry opened the microwave, put the pizza inside, and set the controls.
Tina glimpsed something out of the corner of her eye. She turned to see what it was. Her jaw dropped. She stared. Very lightly, she touched Barry's arm to get his attention.
"What?" Barry turned around. "Oh, my –"
He stared wide-eyed at the toddler before him. Naked except for a blanket, the child stood shivering in the doorway. The blanket was the one Guy had been wrapped in, and he had Guy's blond curls and blue eyes. But he appeared to be about three years old.
"I'm cold, Auntie Tina. And hungry," the child whimpered.
"Auntie Tina?" Barry whispered.
"It's how I was referring to myself when I rocked him to sleep," she whispered back. In a normal voice, she said matter of factly, "Of course you are, darling. You've outgrown your clothes. Sit down and Auntie Tina will get you a glass of milk and a slice of pizza. Then you can have a nice warm bath whilst Uncle Barry runs out to get you some new clothes.
Barry nodded, taking the hint.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Now to Zimbabwe for another of our film project collaborations with The Economist magazine.
Filmmakers Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson spent 2008 recording the experiences of a white family who challenged the land reform policy of President Robert Mugabe. It was designed to reallocate white-owned land to poor black farmers. But Mugabe's henchmen were often the chief beneficiaries.
Mike Campbell claimed that the policy violated human rights laws, and filed suit in an international court based in South Africa.
Here is an excerpt from the film "Mugabe and the White African." Much of it was shot with a hidden camera.
MIKE CAMPBELL, farm owner: Their plan is to remove every white farmer off the land. And now we have gone to an international court. And I think this is the last chance we have got to — to keep white farmers here.
BEN FREETH, son-in-law of Mike Campbell: So, this case is a huge responsibility. And I know that it wears on Mike's mind constantly. This case is a direct challenge to Robert Mugabe and his government, but it's also a challenge to the rest of the world.
We want the world to wake up to the injustices of what is happening inside Zimbabwe. Mugabe doesn't want harmony between blacks and whites. He wants the whites to hate the blacks and he wants the blacks to hate the whites.
MAN: Since the land invasion of in 2000, we have had many encounters with Mugabe's ZANU-PF activists. They can arrive unannounced at any time. We have to be constantly on our guard. Now we find ourselves listening for every vehicle that drives in. As soon as it arrives, you go and have a look wherever it is — or who it is. And, usually, it's the farm invaders, which is quite threatening.
MAN: Remember, you must help each other.
MIKE CAMPBELL: I have just been to the heard guard in the compound. And, apparently, they were there. I had told the guard that at the end of the month when ZANU-PF gets in, then I'm history. I'm gone. I will be off the farm and it will be theirs. So we have got to fight back.
I mean, there's no law and order. We can't go to the police. You know, you have got to do something. Otherwise, you will just lie on your back and put your legs and arms in the air and call it a day.
BEN FREETH: It's not about hurting these people. We need to let them know, though, that we will protect our guards, we're serious about protecting this farm.
You know, I think a country without a rule book is rather like a football game or a rugby game that doesn't have rules, doesn't have a referee. It would just end up in absolute chaos with lots of people getting hurt. And that's exactly what's happening in Zimbabwe at the moment.
People are just playing by their own rules. There's no one blowing any whistles at the moment. There's no one keeping to any of the rules of the game. And that's why we need to bring referees in from outside who are prepared to make sure that the rules are upheld.
JEREMY GAUNTLETT, lead counsel: I think Mike Campbell is a very committed man who is angry because he has been prosecuted for the unique offense of living in his own house and farming his own farm to which he holds the title deeds, a farm which he acquired in 1980 after independence, purchased on the open market and on a certificate of no interest by the Zimbabwean government. It's distinctly racially discriminatory.
ELIZE ANGULA, instructing attorney: They want the farmers out of Zimbabwe. They want to tell them that they're not Zimbabwean and they are not African. But that's racist. You can't adopt a constitution saying, we will respect your racial orientation, your racial background, and then say, white farmers shouldn't own land in Zimbabwe. Come with me.
That's what they did, so there is no justification to go for the farms that these farmers now currently have.
JEREMY GAUNTLETT: This case has to be the most interesting in the sense that he is, as it were, despite his age, a new generation, committed Zimbabwean, employing lots of people, a model employer. And, yet, because he is white, he has been scheduled as being liable without more to be moved off that land. So it's got at the core of it a vague, racist and entirely unenforceable description.
MIKE CAMPBELL: If we win the case, the whole land reform program in Zimbabwe becomes illegal. Then every farmer that's been kicked off his land has got the right to come back to his farm.
BEN FREETH: Good morning. How are you, Mr. Chamada?
PETER CHAMADA, Zimbabwe: How are you?
BEN FREETH: What are you doing here?
PETER CHAMADA: I'm here for my land.
BEN FREETH: For your land?
PETER CHAMADA: Yes.
PETER CHAMADA: That you've taken. It was given to me four years ago by the government…
BEN FREETH: No, we have been to the SADC tribunal, as you know, Mr. Chamada.
PETER CHAMADA: Who is SADC? I'm SADC.
BEN FREETH: Yes. And SADC has said…
PETER CHAMADA: I am SADC.
BEN FREETH: SADC has given us full relief until the main case.
PETER CHAMADA: I am SADC. I am SADC.
BEN FREETH: Yes.
PETER CHAMADA: All right?
BEN FREETH: And…
PETER CHAMADA: They had the same feeling as I have.
BEN FREETH: And SADC has said, until the main case, you cannot interfere.
PETER CHAMADA: Is that why you're refusing to get out of this farm? Tell me.
BEN FREETH: This is my home, Mr. Chamada.
PETER CHAMADA: It is your home. Well, you're in the wrong home. Who did you pay? The African — the African, or you paid another white villain?
BEN FREETH: We paid transfer duties to the Zimbabwe government.
BEN FREETH: We bought it on a willing-seller/willing-buyer basis.
PETER CHAMADA: Is it?
BEN FREETH: We didn't steal it.
PETER CHAMADA: Is it? Now, anyway, that's unfortunate, because we have realized, without land, we have nothing. That's why are here.
BEN FREETH: But you have got land, Mr. Chamada.
PETER CHAMADA: We have no land.
BEN FREETH: I have been to your house in Harare.
PETER CHAMADA: Yes. Have you?
BEN FREETH: Yes.
PETER CHAMADA: You have been raiding my home also?
BEN FREETH: No, I have driven past it. The guard wouldn't let me through the gate.
PETER CHAMADA: Is it? So what were you looking for?
BEN FREETH: I was coming to see where you lived.
PETER CHAMADA: And do what?
BEN FREETH: Well, if you want to steal my house, maybe you can give me your house.
PETER CHAMADA: The land belongs to the black peasant. It is ours. The government took it from you people to redistribute it to the black poor majority.
BEN FREETH: And ministers are the black poor majority? Every time you come, you come in a brand new car. This is Toyota Prado…
PETER CHAMADA: What has this got to do with my land?
BEN FREETH: … worth about 50,000 U.S. dollars.
PETER CHAMADA: But what has this got to do with my land?
BEN FREETH: Last time, it was a brand-new white twin cab.
PETER CHAMADA: Yes.
BEN FREETH: Before that, it was a Jeep Cherokee.
PETER CHAMADA: How about you?
BEN FREETH: If you have got all this money, why can't you buy somewhere?
PETER CHAMADA: I can't buy land in U.K.
BEN FREETH: Why not?
PETER CHAMADA: My father — my father, it is now everything that he has in London, in America, has all been frozen. You have taken it — with my father not even allowed to go to your country. But you're still here. We are so tired of you guys.
BEN FREETH: Can a white person not be a Zimbabwean anymore?
PETER CHAMADA: Not anymore. We don't want you anymore. Get it, right? We don't.
BEN FREETH: But we are Zimbabweans.
PETER CHAMADA: We don't care whether Indian, Malawi, Kalanga, whatnot. We don't just want you in particular. It will never be a colony again, this country.
BEN FREETH: I realize that, Mr. Chamada.
PETER CHAMADA: It will never — it will never be a colony.
BEN FREETH: Then we missed…
PETER CHAMADA: I will sleep here until you are out. And I mean it. I want you out.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The court eventually ruled in Campbell's favor, but, in August 2009, Mugabe's men burned his farm to the ground. He died this year at age 79.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/4/2013 (1577 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
KARACHI, Pakistan -- A bomb exploded on Friday near the office of a main Pakistan political party that had received threats from the Taliban, killing nine people in the latest attack in the run-up to next month's parliamentary election.
As the election approaches, militant groups have increasingly been attacking liberal, secular parties such as the one targeted Friday in the port city of Karachi. The onslaught has forced many of the parties to change their campaign strategy and has raised questions about whether the vote can be considered valid if some mainstream parties can't properly take part.
Police officer Zafar Bukhari said the bomb was planted on a motorbike near the Awami National Party office. Nine people, including four children, were killed and 24 other people were wounded, he said.
Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan claimed responsibility for the attack in a telephone call to The Associated Press from an undisclosed location.
The Taliban previously announced a strategy to target three political parties. In addition to the ANP, the Taliban issued threats against the Muttahida Quami Movement and the Pakistan Peoples Party. All three are perceived as being liberal parties that have earned the Taliban's ire by advocating against the militants and extremism.
On Thursday, a bomb exploded outside a MQM election office in Karachi, killing five people.
Earlier, the Taliban killed at least two political party representatives and attacked a number of political events, particularly targeting the ANP in the northwest.
One of the most serious attacks occurred on April 21, when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a meeting of the ANP in the northwestern city of Peshawar, killing 16 people. The Taliban said the target of the attack was Haroon Ahmad Bilour, whose father, a senior party leader, was killed in a suicide bombing in Peshawar in December. He escaped unscathed, but his uncle, Ghulam Ahmad Bilour, suffered minor injuries.
In the capital, Islamabad, Pakistani officials said they planned to seal the border with Afghanistan and restrict the movement of Afghan refugees on election day.

Michael Feinberg
The Elvin Jones Project
US: 11 Sep 2012
UK: 11 Sep 2012
Not to confuse you, but The Elvin Jones Project is an album by a bassist paying tribute to a drummer. And it's not just any jazz drummer, it's the late great Elvin Jones. This is an album that pokes in and around Jones' career, focusing on his relationship with many notable bassists. Michael Feinberg is a bassist after all, and many players he looks up to have collaborated with Jones in the past—including Dave Holland and Jimmy Garrison. The material on The Elvin Jones Project includes covers of Elvin Jones and John Coltrane tunes, numbers originally covered by Jones, and one original by Feinberg. Taken as an overall unit, this album is a snug fit for the current tastes of homages to bop. The risks are few, and the swing is plentiful, never making Feinberg out to be either an attention-hog or a hopeless recycler.
So who do you get to play drums on an Elvin Jones tribute project? Good question, but for Feinberg, it's an easy one to answer. Bill Hart spent a great deal of his professional career drumming alongside Jones and knew the man well, both musically and personally. Elvin Jones was fond of the downbeat and that seems to coincide nicely with Feinberg's observation that Hart "can bang the shit out of a drum." Rounding out the ensemble is George Garzone on sax, Tim Hagans on trumpet, Leo Genovese on piano and Fender Rhodes, and a guest appearance by guitarist Alex Wintz. From this rock solid foundation Feinberg builds his shrine to Elvin Jones.
Its opening bars are the most daring The Elvin Jones Project gets. "Earth Jones" has more in common with In A Silent Way-era fusion than it does hard bop, and Genovese's electric piano tingles do more to please the ear than foreshadow the album. The band does a bang-up job of capturing the atmosphere of Jones' 1982 recording (A UFO enters the picture, inhales something, and just hovers for nine minutes and 43 seconds). This mood isn't recaptured until track four with Feinberg's original "It Is Written". Less harmonically vague and more reliant on a soft rhythm from Hart, the inspiration for this track is supposedly cribbed from the sessions that brought about Bill Frisell's 2001 album with Holland and Jones. Considering a friend of mine said that Bill Frisell with Dave Holland and Elvin Jones was "trippy", this feels appropriate. But just so you are aware of what you're getting into, Alez Wintz plays more like Tal Farlow than Bill Frisell.
The set is tightened up considerably by the other numbers like "The Unknighted Nations" by Frank Foster" and "Miles Mode" by John Coltrane. Garzone takes many wonderful solos, but they never threaten to make The Elvin Jones Project a sax-centric album. In fact (and predictably, I might add), it's the rhythm sections that really shines here. Michael Feinberg and Bill Hart lock together like a nut and a bolt. Hart also gave Feinberg some encouraging words by saying that, had Elvin Jones been alive today, he would have enjoyed playing with him. This probably pleases Feinberg to no end.
The Elvin Jones Project is fueled by a relaxed desire to play it like it is/was. No game changing, no idol worship, just imagining Jones in the room and letting things roll. When it comes to albums that pay tribute to a certain subject, they are considered successful if they encourage listeners to seek out the original recordings of that subject. Time will tell if this album actually accomplishes that. If it doesn't, it's certainly no fault of Feinberg's.

Top 10 Cat Poisons
Last year, there were more than 100,000 cases of pet poisoning in the U.S. Many of these were caused by substances you probably have in your home, substances that may seem perfectly harmless to you. But just because something is safe for people doesn't mean it won't hurt beloved pets. Some of the most dangerous cat poisons are foods and medications we take on a daily basis.
Depending on how a particular substance affects your cat's body and how much was ingested or inhaled, pet poisoning symptoms can include gastrointestinal and neurological problems, cardiac and respiratory distress, coma, and even death.
Top 10 Cat Poisons
Cat poison No. 1: Medications for people. Pets have a much greater sensitivity to many of the common over-the-counter and prescription medications that may be in your home.
Some of the medications that often poison cats include:
Cat poison No. 2: Flea and tick products. Poisoning can occur by ingestion of a topical product or overzealous application. In addition, certain flea control products manufactured for dogs can be lethal if used on cats.
Cat poison No. 3: People food. It is important to take care that your cat doesn't ingest foods that might cause pet poisoning or stomach upset. Foods to keep away from your cat include:
Cat poison No. 4: Rat and mouse poison. Rodenticides, if ingested, can cause severe symptoms and may be fatal.
Cat poison No. 5: Pet medications. Just as we can be sickened or killed by medications intended to help us, cases of pet poisoning by veterinary drugs are not uncommon. Some of the more commonly reported problem medications include painkillers and de-wormers.
Cat poison No. 6: Household plants. Cats are notorious for noshing on houseplants, and the habit isn't just bad for your potted treasures. Many common, beautiful houseplants contain cat poisons that can cause serious harm, and even death. Some of the plants toxic to cats include:
Cat poison No. 7: Chemical hazards. Not surprisingly, chemicals contained in antifreeze and paint thinner, and chemicals for pools can act as cat poisons. The symptoms they may produce include stomach upset, depression, and chemical burns.
Cat poison No. 8: Household cleaners. Just as cleaners like bleach can poison people, they are also a leading cause of pet poisoning, resulting in stomach and respiratory tract problems.
Cat poison No. 9: Heavy metals. Lead, which can be found in paint, linoleum, and batteries, can be poisonous if eaten by your cat. If ingested, lead can cause gastrointestinal and neurological problems.
Cat poison No. 10: Fertilizer. Products for your lawn and garden may be poisonous to animals that ingest them, perhaps by grooming themselves after walking or laying in a recently treated area.

Cape Town - "No letter was ever received by me. That's a very clear, straight answer. No letter was ever received."
These were the words of President Jacob Zuma in Parliament on March 20 last year, but he declined to give Public Protector Thuli Madonsela a "clear, straight answer" when she asked him about the very same letter in the course of her investigation into the R215- million "security upgrades" at Nkandla.
While she has given Zuma the benefit of the doubt on the question of whether he misled Parliament when he told it in November 2012 the State had not built his Nkandla home, or benefited his family, she received no response to a written question about the letter, an update on progress with the work at Nkandla, from then Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde.
Madonsela appears to accept in her report on the investigation, released this week, that Zuma received the letter.
She cites in support of this view minutes of a subsequent meeting of the Nkandla project team recording that Zuma had been informed of progress, and was satisfied.
The letter, sent to Zuma on November 5, 2010, says of the attached progress report: "Taking the above report into consideration I am pleased to report that all the work for which my department is responsible will be completed by the deadline of the 30 November 2010 as per the commitment given to you by my predecessor (Geoff Doidge). I have also taken the liberty of attaching hereto a progress report as updated on the 5 November 2010 detailing the various activities, the percentage completed per activity and comments for your information."
Madonsela says in her report that the Public Works deputy director-general chaired a progress meeting four days later and reported, according to the minutes and his evidence during the investigation, that Zuma had been informed of the progress made with the project, and was satisfied.
The attached progress report was signed by then Public Works director-general Siviwe Dongwana and Mahlangu-Nkabinde's deputy, Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu.
Elaborating on his response to a question in the National Assembly on March 20 last year, Zuma added: "It's a very funny letter that has signatures, as I saw it from a distance, of so many people."
This is not the only element of the paper trail in the Nkandla project that seems never to have crossed Zuma's desk.
On the instructions of Bogopane-Zulu, private consultants prepared a document dividing the costs of the Nkandla project between the State and items, or portions of items, for Zuma's account as "the principal".
They determined Zuma would be responsible for R10.6m of the total.
But Bogopane-Zulu never saw the document as she was abruptly removed from responsibility for the "Prestige Portfolio", including Nkandla, before it was completed.
Mahlangu-Nkabinde denied ever seeing it, and it subsequently "disappeared without trace", according to Madonsela's report.
"I must say that the disappearance of the document amid a situation where virtually all the members of the executive involved appeared conversant with its contents is a source of grave concern. It is clear that at the level of the Project Team the document was produced and delivered but at a political level, it seems to have been managed in a manner that removed it from the normal administrative decision-making process or track," Madonsela wrote.
Zuma did confirm to the public protector that he had asked for a larger cattle kraal, and said he was comfortable paying for this.
He also confirmed he objected to the original bulletproof windows, showing he was aware of, and intervened in, details of the project – something he has consistently said was not his job as president when asked about his knowledge of the project.
Zuma was also never, according to Madonsela, made familiar with the contents of the declaration by Minister of Police Nathi Mthethwa under which Nkandla became an official National Key Point, and Zuma was advised he would have to bear the costs of security measures necessitated by the declaration.
Zuma and his lawyers have argued that the National Key Points Act was not the correct legislative instrument authorising the Nkandla project.
But the alternative, a cabinet policy of 2003, would have required either Zuma or the presidency to request the security measures, which neither of them did, and, after it had been costed, for Zuma to be informed of the costs and give his consent.
Again, this was not done.

Gateway M685-E
Gateway M685-EPCWorld Rating
Intel's new processor gives Gateway's desktop replacement notebook a shot in the arm, helping to produce one of the highest performance scores we've ever recorded for a laptop.
Equipped with a top-of-the-line 2.16-GHz Core 2 Duo T7400 chip and 1GB of DDR2-667 SDRAM, the M685-E earned a WorldBench 5 score of 109. Compared with an HP Compaq nx9420 using the older 2.16-GHz Core Duo T2600 CPU, our review unit was 7 percent faster, a small performance boost. Its battery life is pretty good, too, as our review system's 12-cell battery lasted 3.6 hours--1.3 hours longer than what we got earlier this year when we tested a 2-GHz Core Duo T2500 version of the M685-E with a less powerful 8-cell battery.
Offering an ultrahigh-resolution 17-inch screen and an nVidia GeForce Go 7600 video card with 128MB of dedicated RAM, the $2094 (as of 9/8/06) M685-E remains a good yet somewhat expensive choice for consumers and small businesses in need of a portable workstation for multimedia presentations, photo and video editing, or even gaming. Gateway says that it will soon resume offering a graphics card with up to 256MB of video RAM, barring continued supply problems.
The machine's weight is not too oppressive at 8.3 pounds, or 10 pounds with the chunky power adapter. Though the speakers sound a tad flat, the volume is sufficient for presentations and for light entertainment. Basic productivity applications are included, in the form of Microsoft Works 8.
On a laptop this big and costly, typing should be easier than it was on our test model. Although the keyboard makes room for a dedicated numeric keypad, it seems to do so at the expense of the right Shift and arrow keys, which are half size and take quite a bit of getting used to. The indentation beneath the mouse buttons is also uncomfortable.
Aside from a plethora of USB ports, the connections and storage are rather wimpy for a desktop replacement unit. The M685-E has basic audio ports, network and modem jacks, a monitor port, a FireWire port, and one PC Card slot. The memory card slot takes six types of cards if you count all the flavors of MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, and SD Card.
You're limited to one 100GB hard drive and a fixed dual-format DVD drive. Unlike some workstation-class notebooks, this one doesn't offer dual-bay configuration options to double up on either. The M685-E also falls a bit flat on small conveniences. It lacks a wireless communications switch and volume control buttons. There's an external power gauge--but, oops, it's mounted on the inside edge of the battery, which means you have to flip the notebook over, slide two bottom releases, and pull it off the back to check the level.
Although I could find no mention of it in the user manual, both the dual memory slots and the hard drive are user-upgradable. For cable management Gateway's $179 port replicator snaps onto the bottom of the notebook and adds serial, parallel, S-Video out, and line-in ports.
Equipped with Intel's latest chip, the Gateway M685-E offers plenty of raw performance, no doubt about it. But you'll have to live with some design inconveniences and an uncomfortable keyboard.

This big small-office/home-office notebook isn't flashy, but does include a nice high-resolution screen.
- Nice high-resolution screen
- Fairly light for a big notebook
- Keyboard takes some getting used to
