The goal of the current research was to determine if the stringent nutrient limitation imposed by membrane-coupled bioreactors (MBRs) could be used to force mixed bacterial communities to exhibit a zero net growth rate over an extended time period. Mechanistically, this zero net growth rate could be achieved when the amount of energy available for growth is balanced by the maintenance requirements of the bacterial community. Bench-scale MBRs were fed synthetic feed medium containing gelatin as the major organic substrate. Biomass concentrations initially increased rapidly, but subsequently declined until an asymptote was reached. Leucine aminopeptidase activities concomitantly increased by at least 10-fold, suggesting that bacterial catabolic activity remained high even while growth rates became negligible. In contrast, α-glucosidase and heptanoate esterase activities decreased, indicating that the bacterial community specifically adapted to the carbon source in the feed medium. Bacterial community analysis by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene fragments (PCR-DGGE) suggested that the bacterial community structure completely changed from the beginning to the end of each MBR. Excision and nucleotide sequence analysis of prominent PCR-DGGE bands suggested that many of the dominant populations were similar to novel bacterial strains that were previously uncultivated or recently cultivated during studies specifically targeting these novel populations. This research demonstrates that MBRs have substantial practical applications for biological wastewater treatment; in addition, MBRs are a useful tool to study the ecology of slow-growing bacteria.

Kimpton Debuts New Juicing Program
Wednesday January 22nd, 2014 - 10:42AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
SAN FRANCISCO—The juicing trend that has become even easier for frequent travelers to take advantage of with the launch of Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants' new fresh juice menu.
Created to promote excellent health and boost energy, Kimpton's new juice menu features three healthy juice blends made from freshly picked local fruits and vegetables. Currently available at 10 Kimpton restaurants across the country, the program will be rolled out across all of the company's properties nationwide later this year.
The collection of 16-ounce juices sell for $8-12 each across Kimpton's restaurants and come in three nutritious blends. Executive Chef Christian Graves from Jsix in San Diego crafted and refined the following juice recipes using healthy, local ingredients:
Varies by location but the selection could include a variation of whole passion fruit, green apples, celery and kale. The juices will be highlighted on breakfast, lunch and pool menus for restaurant and hotel guests to enjoy. All juices sold at Kimpton restaurants will be made using either a Cold Press Juicer or Centrifugal Juice Extractors.
Juicing is the latest in Kimpton's list of wellness offerings for restaurant and hotel guests who are committed to staying healthy while traveling. Last year, the company introduced a partnership with PUBLIC Bikes to offer free bike rentals at all its properties, as well as designed a Kimpton custom yoga mat in partnership with Gaiam available in all guest rooms. And in recent years, both the hotels and restaurants have introduced several healthier dining options for guests, including special menus for those with allergies or dietary restrictions like gluten-free.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

From the "Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions", Second Vatican Council, Nostra Aetate, 28 October, 1965, Article 3.
Pope Benedict faces Islam
"The Church has also a high regard for the Muslims. They worship God, who is one, living and subsistent, merciful and almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has also spoken to men. They strive to submit themselves without reserve to the hidden degrees of God, just as Abraham submitted himself to God's plan, to whose faith Muslims eagerly link their own. Although not acknowledging him as God, they venerate Jesus as a prophet, his virgin Mother they also honor, and even devoutly invoke. Further, they await the Day of Judgment and the reward of God following the resurrection of the dead. For this reason they highly esteem an upright life and worship God, especially by way of prayer, alms-deeds and fasting.
Over the centuries many quarrels and dissentions have arisen between Christians and Muslims. The sacred Council now pleads with all to forget the past, and urges that a sincere effort be made to achieve mutual understanding; for the benefit of all men, let them together preserve and promote peace, liberty, social justice and moral values."
Article full text:
I made a conscious choice to include the words of Article 3 of Nostrae Aetate referring to Islam from the Vatican II Documents before writing my reflections on Pope Benedict XVI's eight-year pontificate with regard to the Catholic Church and Christianity in the Arab-Muslim world. Back in 1991 when I was the contact person for making the short documentary film "Mosque" in Egypt, I would carry copies of the section above in both English and Arabic to show to anyone asking why we were making a film on Islam in Egypt. Once I gave Muslims a copy of this to read, their attitude went from "leave now" to "take as much time as you want" since you are trying to depict Islam and Muslims in a positive way for Christians in the West.
Between 1982 and 1983, I studied in Rome at the Pontifical Institute for Arab-Islamic Studies. While the Catholic Church and Islam have had many conflicts and confrontations over the centuries, the spirit of Vatican Council II had changed attitudes and approaches toward Islam more in the direction of respect, appreciation and collaboration. As students, we were encouraged to learn Arabic and study Islam in order to be a respectful presence of Christ and support local Christians while NOT attacking Islam or trying to convert Muslims. During the pontificate of John Paul II, this institute and the Secretariat for Non-Christians, later renamed the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue (PCID), would be contacted for advice on words and actions before a papal visit or statement involving Islam and the Muslim world.
Although Pope Benedict is not an expert on Islam, it seems that neither PISAI nor PCID were consulted before his Regensburg lecture in September 2006. In fact, the status of PICD seems to have been downgraded in March 2006 and it was not upgraded until September 2007, about one year after the Regensburg lecture. In this lecture, the Pope, speaking in German, quoted an unfavorable remark about Islam made in the 14th century by Byzantine emperor Manuel II Palaiologos. The English and Arabic translation of the Pope's lecture (possibly taken out of context) was disseminated across the world and many Islamic politicians and religious leaders took offense by what they saw as an insulting mischaracterization of Islam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regensburg_lecture. For me, if the Pope had first acknowledged the sins and offenses of the Catholic Church's history in its dealing with heretics, non-Christians and non-Catholics, his words might have been received in a different light. I believe that the Catholic Church has reflected on and learned from these errors and could have offered constructive comments rooted in its own history which also has been, at times, violent and oppressive.
Many Christians and their religious leaders in the Arab-Muslim world were also upset and felt they would experience negative reactions to Benedict's words. It is entirely possible that the Pope, speaking to students and professors, felt that he could speak freely as a professor himself, but he was seen by the world as Pope Benedict XVI and not as Professor Joseph Ratzinger. Over 20 years ago, I remember reading (both the book title and its author are long forgotten) that since the Ottoman period, Christianity was look upon as a "nation" with the meaning of group, clan or tribe. While distinctions were known to exist among Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants, the "Pope of Rome" was viewed as the "big chief" of the Christian nation in the world while other Christian religious leaders might be seen as chiefs of their respective subgroupings. Thus Pope Benedict's words were taken to represent a Christian, not just Catholic, comment on Islam. Pope Shenouda III of the Coptic Orthodox Church, following this lecture, disavowed Benedict's comments as not representing the sentiments of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, former head of the PCID in Rome and Ambassador for the Holy See to Egypt (2006-2012), found himself in the difficult position of not only attempting to sooth feelings in the Egyptian government and at the Arab League, but I attended an ecumenical lunch sponsored by All Saints Anglican Cathedral in Cairo where he was guest speaker to a group of Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant clergy and laity. Emotions at this lunch were somewhat high when discussing the Regensburg lecture and the ramifications of it for Christians in the Arab-Muslim world. While I am quite sure that Pope Benedict had no motives to upset/anger Muslims, he succeeded in doing just that. There was a time when showing my Vatican Identification to Egyptian police was better than showing my American passport due to the high respect that Arab nations had for the Vatican and its defense of Palestinian rights. That somewhat eroded after the Regensburg lecture. It's unfortunate that Pope Benedict will be remembered in the Arab-Muslim world for this incident. Over the six years since then, he has made numerous attempts to mend the Catholic Church's relationship with Islam in the spirit of Nostrae Aetate quoted above.
Personally, I feel that this man would have preferred to remain a nondescript theologian with a good mind. He found himself rising in church leadership to positions that he may not have been comfortable with. As pope, he always seemed shy and self-conscious which is a liability as a public figure while not a fault as a professor. This pope reflected a man comfortable in the academic world, but uncomfortable in the public eye. I believe he is intensely loyal to the Catholic Church and its teachings which made him a reluctant, but uncompromising defender of the faith. This man will be remembered as a spiritual person of strong faith and kindness. Unfortunately, he will also be recalled as someone who unintentionally offended many in the Arab-Muslim world and then spent much of his remaining papacy trying to reestablish the Catholic Church's status and place in Muslim-Christian relations.
As a person, as a Catholic and as a priest, I wish Pope Benedict well. I think his decision to resign was a wise one for himself and for the Catholic Church. He did his best and will be remembered by many Catholics for his defense of Catholic faith and dogma. If his health improves some in his final years, without the heavy burden of the papacy, he may still prove to be a positive presence in the world.

Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger
Published by Nintendo, Developed by Vanpool
Genres: Action (1 players)
US release date: Apr 11th, 2013 | EU release date: Jun 27th, 2013
Prices: $10.99 (US) | £6.29 (UK) | €6.99 (EUR)
Dillon is an armadillo with one thing on his scaly, cowboy hat-covered mind: to protect the townsfolk from an onslaught of approaching enemies.
In this downloadable sequel to last year's well-received Dillon's Rolling Western for Nintendo 3DS, Dillon is tasked with hiring rangers, gathering supplies and equipping gun towers in an effort to ward off the trouble moseying into town.
This real-time strategy game follows players as they control a rolling and rollicking Dillon through classic tower-defense game play. In addition to defending frontier towns and livestock, Dillon must also protect moving trains containing vital supplies. And with the rip roarin' power of the StreetPass feature on Nintendo 3DS, players can compare maps with other players to improve their strategy.
Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger has no review on Wii's World.

Twitter Launches TV Ad Targeting Beta For Select Advertisers
Powered by its acquisition of Bluefin Labs, Twitter has launched TV ad targeting for Promoted Tweets. The service launches today in a limited beta for select advertisers running national TV campaigns in the U.S.
Twitter is aiming to help marketers reach the 64 percent of users who use Twitter while watching TV at home. According to the company, 32 million people in the U.S. tweeted about TV programs last year. TV ad targeting is designed to give brands the ability to engage with consumers on Twitter who have seen their ads on TV.
As part of the new service, advertisers will have access to a new TV Ads dashboard. The dashboard will show when a brand's TV ads have aired to help marketers align their Twitter engagement with what's shown on TV. That information can also be used to tailor Promoted Tweet content to complement a brand's campaign messaging.
Twitter says the ad targeting functions by using "video fingerprinting technology" that detects when and where TV commercials run. No manual tracking or data upload is required.
When a TV ad runs during a show, Twitter can identify users who tweeted about the program in the region(s) where the ad ran. Twitter then makes the assumption that a user who tweets about a show is likely engaged enough to have also seen the brand's ad.
Twitter acquired Bluefin Labs in February to help build out new ad products and increase consumer engagement in social TV. In December of last year, the company teamed up with Nielsen to develop the "Nielsen Twitter TV Rating" to measure the second screen engagement television shows on Twitter.
SMX Advanced is the only conference designed exclusively for experienced paid search advertisers and SEOs. You'll participate in experts-only sessions and network with fellow internet marketing thought leaders. Check out the tactic-packed agenda!

Kick off each Monday with the best news and ideas in social media.

ST. MARYS — An Ohio senator plans to introduce legislation that could help local manufacturing operations find skilled workers to fill open positions.
During a teleconference with regional media, U.S. Sen. Rob Portman revealed his intentions to introduce legislation that would tackle worker retraining efforts. The Republican said he also plans to work across the aisle to help get the measures through Congress.
St. Marys sophomore Carter Bowman sailed through his first nine holes with a three-under par 33. He led by six shots over Van Wert's Jake Brake and by three over Tyler Turnwald at the turn.
But Northmoor showed its teeth on Bowman's final nine holes and put up quite a fight against the Western Buckeye League's best golfers.
ST. MARYS — Thanks to an annual drive, more than 2,000 people have received free coats to keep them warm in the winter months.
The One Warm Coat drive is in full swing and is once again seeking gently used and new men's, women's and children's coats to benefit the residents of western Auglaize County. In its sixth year, the drive has collected 2,757 coats that have been dispersed to clients of Agape Ministries.
50 Years Ago This Week – 1962
This week in 1962, St. Marys native Galen Cisco hurled the New York Mets to a 4-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs in Cisco's first starting assignment for his new team.
In the victory, Cisco tied a Major League record by striking out four pinch hitters in a single game, in addition to striking out four others in the victory.
The game marked Cisco's first complete game in nearly five months since he hurled one for the Red Sox back in April.
ST. MARYS — Seventy-two people had the chance to walk away from Memorial High School with $10,000 Tuesday night as part of an annual promotion — in the end, a Wapakoneta resident cashed in on her 1.39 percent chance to take home the top prize.
The Evening Leader and Wapakoneta Daily News crowned the winner of the Dash for Cash promotion during a reverse raffle in the Performing Arts Center at Memorial High School. One-by-one, contestants collected their door prizes until only one was left standing.
ST. MARYS — With tears and moments of reflection and song, a county agency recognized its citizen of the year during an annual celebration on Tuesday.
Vernon Doenges was named the 2012 Outstanding Senior during the Auglaize County Council on Aging's annual celebration of National Senior Center Month, with the theme this year of "It Happens at My Senior Center: My Life. My Time. My Way." Auglaize County Commissioner Doug Spencer kicked off Doenges' recognition by reading a proclamation from the commissioners.
M. Mildred "Millie" Noonan, 93, of 615 N. Augustus St., St. Marys, died at 1:20 a.m. Monday, Sept. 17, 2012, at Roselawn Manor Nursing Home in Spencerville.
She was born on Aug. 19, 1919, in St. Marys, to John S. and Mary A. (Lemkuhl) Noonan, and they preceded her in death.
She is survived by a sister, Lucille Uhlenhake of St. Marys; numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by two brothers, Robert Noonan and Richard Noonan; two sisters, Virginia Noonan and Rosalie Drees.
ST. MARYS — Like the ominous-looking clouds surrounding the soccer field at West School on Monday night, the St. Marys boys soccer team threatened for much of the evening.
The rain ended up being harmlessly light, and the Roughriders never could put in that goal against a winless Celina squad.
St. Marys and Celina played to a 0-0 draw in the Grand Lake St. Marys rivalry match on Monday night.

Updated School Calendar
The winter of 2015 has proven to be a challenge with the limited flexibility of the school calendar. The Mount Airy City Schools Board of Education voted on Tuesday to modify the existing school calendar in order to preserve Spring Break and provide school officials with some options in the event of additional inclement weather.
As a result the Board voted to forgive three student days. The impact of this vote on the school calendar is as follows:
May 25th, Memorial Day, becomes a regular school day
June 11th is the Last Day of School
June 12th is a Teacher Workday
The Board of Education recognizes the importance of Memorial Day so each campus will take time to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms on that day. In addition, this vote allowed the Board to maintain Good Friday as a holiday.
Mount Airy City Schools may use Saturday School if the district is faced with more bad weather in order to keep Spring Break intact. If another major weather event takes place, the district may have little choice but to use Spring Break for make-up purposes. Thank you for your understanding as we make the best out of a tough situation.

Economic Indicators: Employee Cost Index (ECI)
By Ryan Barnes
|Release Date:
|The last Thursday of April, July, November and January
|Release Time:
|8:30am Eastern Standard Time
|Previous Quarter
|Released By:
|Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS)
|Latest Release:
The Employment Cost Index (ECI) is a quarterly report of compensation costs that is released in the final month of the quarter, with a cutoff date of payroll periods ending the twelfth of the month of the release. The ECI is an index-based indicator that presents the changes in wages, bonuses and benefits from the previous quarter, displayed on a per-hour basis. All non-farm industries are covered, with the exception of federal government employees (which only make up 2-3% of the work force).
The data is provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and is broken down by industry group, occupation and union vs. non-union workers. The data is compiled through separate surveys of non-farm businesses (about 4,500 sampled) and state and local governments (about 1,000 sampled). The index has a base weighting of 100. The current base period is December 2005.
What it Means for Investors
The ECI is watched primarily for its inflationary insights. Compensation costs represent the lion's share of the total cost for a company to produce a product or deliver a service in the marketplace (and can be computed per company by dividing cost of goods sold (COGS) by selling, general & administrative expense (SG&A) on the company's income statement). The relative percentages of COGS will vary by industry, making the data release valuable on an inter-industry level.
The ECI is used by the Federal Reserve to set monetary policy; as the Fed has publicly stated, it prefers the value of this release to the Employment Situation Report's hourly cost figures, which just include wages. Another benefit of the methodology used in the ECI is that wage changes that occur as a result of a shift in the occupational mix of workers can be captured here using a "basket of occupations" approach similar to that of the CPI. Results of the ECI are less likely to be affected by people shifting to lower or higher-paying jobs.
The ECI is a lagging indicator; rising costs at this level speak to economic overheating that has already been visible at earlier points in the economic food chain (commodity costs, retail sales, gross domestic product), and suggest that some rise in inflation is inevitable.
This indicator can move the markets if it shows marked differences from street estimates. Economists and Fed watchers are always on the lookout for surprise signs of inflation, and anything that changes the common perceptions on Wall Street as to the level of inflation will move the bond markets immediately, and stocks will react according to its recent performance relative to economic growth prospects. The deeper into the business cycle the economy is, the more likely it will be for stocks to sell off on fears of Fed rate cuts, and possibly the end of the growth phase within the current cycle.
Rising compensation costs are usually passed on to consumers because they are such a large corporate expense.
The ECI is used as part of the formula that calculates productivity. If productivity gains are less than proportional ECI gains, there won't be the necessary balance to keeping end prices to consumers down. Investors should always compare the ECI to total productivity figures, paying particular attention to relative rates within industries in which they have a stake.
- The ECI calculates the total set of employee costs to businesses, not just wages. Health insurance, pensions and death-benefit plans, and bonuses are all calculated here and broken out separately from wages and salaries.
- Data is provided with and without a seasonal adjustment.
- Well respected by both the Fed and business leaders; company managers use the ECI to compare their own compensation costs relative to their industries
- Rates of change are showed from the previous quarter and on a year-over-year basis.
- The data is only released quarterly, and with a slight overlap, covering a mid-month period.
- Hourly earnings shown in the monthly Employment Situation Report provide some headway into this release, taking some of the surprise value out of wages.
- Can be volatile when periodic bonuses, commission payments and the like are taken into account (especially at year-end); economist interpretation is often needed to fully digest the report.

My pothos clipping...
About a month and a half ago when I was purchasing my Pygmy Date Palm from a local tree nursery I had asked if I could talk a small clipping from a beautiful Pothos in their office. I was given permission to do so, so I took about 7 inches w/ 2 leaves and one that was still curled up and looking like it was ready to open up.
That same day I put it into a small pot of general purpose Earthgro potting soil. I have watered every other day or so as the soil dries out. The soil seems to dry out pretty quickly in our apartment.
Over the past few weeks the only thing that it has done is to curl up the two leaves and the the completely curled up one is still curled up. It really doesn't look all that great.
Is there anything I can to help it along? Is it doing ok considering me clipping it and then planting it?
I can also tell you that it wasn't this droopy when I planted it.
Here are some pictures for reference:
Did the cutting of Epipremnum aureum have roots growing from the nodes? If not, or if not well formed, take it out of the soil and put it in a glass of clean water until you can see well formed roots. Make sure the nodes are in the water.
We have a specimen that is almost 16 feet tall in our atrium and we have to constantly cut the runners off that form into the adjacent pond and throw them away.


text: So sad to be back, but despite everyone in our party of 8 coming down with chest colds (we fell like dominos) it was a magical trip. We stayed at our home resort SSR and had room 5310 at the Paddock, which is right by the pool and bus station (lot's of cups of hot chocolate) last time we went for 2 weeks we stayed at the Springs and while the proximity to main pool and Artists Pallet were nice, I think the Paddock was better. I was impressed with the bus service this time vs prior trips.... Never had to wait for a second bus and they typically were not overly packed. Past trips to SSR were problematic due the transportation issues we experienced. I love WDW at the holidays! I have been going at that time of year for almost 40 years now....

How many peony blooms can I cut from 1 plant?
I've read in several sources that when cutting a peony for cut flowers you should leave at least 1/3 of the plant. Does this mean 1/3 of the blooms or 1/3 of the foliage? I'm confused and don't want to miss out on potential blooms if the suggestion means 1/3 of the foliage. Thanks for any help that's offered!
I on the other hand never saw this advice, and have cut my peonys willfully for years. I have several Sarah Bernhardt, and a Maxima, both OLD, Well established shrubs. Neither have ever slowed down, just made more flowers the next year. (When I had to move a Sarah a couple feet, due to plumbing repairs, I did not cut as many blooms for the next couple years.)
The much newer single that I planted a mere 5 years ago makes far fewer flowers, and I usually cut just a couple.

So, I saw my traffic data today. For a particular plugin, I have 88 visits on May 03, and 2 on May 04. On the bottom of the page, it says, 'Report was generated on May 03, 2013 17:08 GMT time'
How can I have visit data for May 04 when the report was generated on May 03? Am I missing out something? Is the visit data also based on GMT? Or Australian time?
Hey there.
I reckon that the problem is with the different time zones.

Lil Wayne is dropping off the visuals for his Sorry 4 the Wait 2 mixtape opener "CoCo" as he is embarking upon a nationwide tour in support of the tape. Check out the arresting (no pun intended) visuals from Weezy after the jump.
The collaboration the hip-hop world has been dying to hear has finally happened. It was only a matter of time that Young Thug, who has admitted on multiple occasions that he is a huge fan of Lil Wayne, would collaborate with his idol. Thugger is such a rabid Weezy fan that he even had plans to name his first album Tha Carter VI after Wayne's highly decorated album series. Well, here it is: the two rappers meet on "Take Kare," which is said to serve as the first single from the upcoming Rich Gang 2 album. Listen after the jump.
recently, lifehacker reported on the jobs with the best career outlook over the long-term. among them: bio-engineers, elementary school teachers…and, to the delight of every working girl, strippers. here's a short list of the rappers who will be sponsoring the next generation's best and brightest. merry christmas everyone!

Wow, so much for originality. After the success of Watch The Throne, there's seriously a lot of talk going around about collaborative LPs. And the center of attention seems to be focused in on Drake. First, Birdman confirms with XXL Mag that Drizzy and Weezy are in the works of a collaborative album. Baby seemed extremely confident calling it a much "younger sound" that 'Ye and Hov.
And now Trey Songz is deeming Drake is the very first choice when it comes to making a collaborative album.
Trey tells MTV:
Drake is the first person that comes to mind that I am that musically comfortable with in that space… He is a friend of mine as well, and I think we can pull something off … that could sound very authentic.
I mean, you got to look at (Kanye and Jay-Z) and see how long it took them to do it, you know? So it has to be organic in whatever way it happens. It can't be a business decision and you can't look at it in a way of making it lucrative. I think it has to be something that you are definitely going into for music's sake. It has to be something real, because if it's not authentic you can hear it.
So what exactly is going on? I guess you can say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I'm starting to think perhaps this is getting excessive. In no way am I trying to sound like a trend-spotter/forecaster, but I think the hip hop world has found a new one! I'm sure soon enough, more and more collaborative albums will dropping.

Just a few days ago it started to brown and wilt. The plant was transplanted to a raised bed from its pot about 6 weeks ago. The bed consists of sand peat moss and some native soil. I have 2 plants that look like this and 15 others that look fine! Any thoughts?

The friendly staff was by far the best part of our stay. The inn
keeper, Peter, went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and
welcoming. I was also impressed with the personal touches they offered,
such as a list of their favorite dining spots and local expertise on
things to do and see around Orleans and Chatham. The
"continental" breakfast was anything but typical. It was a
wonderful assortment of breakfast choices and more than enough to start
our day off with full bellies. - Anonymous
We found and booked this motel simply on a hunch after reading the
reviews. Let me tell you we were not dsappointed in the least! It was a
long ride, so we called ahead to say we would be a late check in. The
innkeeper, John was so appreciative of the call that I was immediately
impressed. When we arrived at 1am, he had the heat running in the
room...this is off season, so nights can get chilly, and was so
welcoming! The room is spotless, clean, comfortable, afgordable,
delightful, just awesome - Anonymous
