Backless Single Bench
|Assembly: Some assembly requiredWood: EucalyptusFinish: Oil rubbedProtective qualities: Mold, mildew, fungi, termites, rot and decay-resistantPeople often wonder- what's in a bench? The answer to that question usually includes four legs, two armrests, a comfortable seat, perhaps a pillow or two (or three)?and a back. Well, this bench is just like all the other benches, minus the back part. Although some may think that this puts our bench at a disadvantage, we choose to look at it as a positive. When the back of a bench is removed, it can suddenly become many things: a picnic bench, a footrest, and if you add an uncomfortable embroidered cushion?voila! A fancy European settee (you know, those benches that you aren't ever supposed to actually sit on). Without a back in the way, you can shove it up against any wall you want without blocking any of your priceless artwork, outlets, light switches, or mouse holes. Even better, this bench is versatile enough to park its backless self in the inside or the outside of your house. Made from premium-grade tightly grained Eucalyptus hardwood (similar to, but more durable than Teak), this bench can withstand weather, dampness, insects and decay, as well as the general wear and tear it will encounter from day to day use (unless you decide to go the settee route, of course). So go ahead, go backless.Warranty: 1 year against manufacturing defects

I do not suspect so. People are used to getting Windows bundled with their computers. If those people suddenly have to start paying for Windows, they would get annoyed and start digging deeper for free alternatives. Eventually they would find Ubuntu and that would begin to hurt Microsoft's business.
Doubtful. The average Joe isn't going to install Linux unless someone turns them on to it. They would be far, far more likely to buy a Mac instead if they get that sick of Windows.

Most of alexandria's traffic woes comes from people driving to or through alexandria to get to work. Smart planning (ie not putting in a surface lot, I can't check the website to see specifics)should be relied on to mitigate traffic woes, not fighting every potential development. Especially a grocery store.
I doubt it'll make a significant impact on traffic in the area--there are already two grocery stores nearby and I think the HT will be more likely to pull in those existing customers who would be there anyway rather than draw in new ones from farther afield.
Canaan's right, the majority of the traffic problems are people going through Old Town, or non-residents coming in for waterfront/restaurants/nightlife rather than residents going about their daily business.

Hate to tell you, but I kind of saw it coming too. XD I mean not their reaction, per se, but I did think to myself, "How is this news to them?" Isn't this like at the core of their society?
There's certain elements in there society, except that peasants are free and serfs aren't – which should make a difference. Serfs aren't entitled to their wealth, while peasants are, so peasants created the middle class and got rid of the grand pyramid scheme.

Hotel Guest Reviews of the Regent Singapore - A Four Seasons HotelOur hotel ratings and reviews are from real hotel guests. Priceline.com ensures that its reviews are guests-only by proactively sending hotel surveys to customers after they've completed their hotel stays. In the post-stay surveys, priceline.com hotel customers are asked a number of questions about their stay and the hotel. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, the survey asks guests to rate their overall experience and specifically rate the hotel's cleanliness, staff and location. Priceline.com does not allow site visitors to post unsolicited hotel reviews.

The Regent-Four Seasons Singapore meets and exceeds our every expectation. I went to Singapore to see my 16-year-old dog for, perhaps, the last time. Having been able to spend three days and two nights with him, while entertaining some old staffs and friends in the room made this otherwise heartbreaking visit memorable. The Regent-Four Seasons set a new standard of hospitality which, IMHO, would be unparallel in its class.
December 10, 2008
Great for business and leisure travel. A walk to public transportation, but not too far. The prices for drinks were way to high, almost 50 Singapore dollars for two drinks. There is a mall with shopping and a great grocery next door. The service was impeccable and the room very nice. We would definitely recommend the hotel, but it is a bit pricey if you are not on a business expense account. ...

KSUA Summer pt. 1
Shlohmo Dark Red In Shlohmo's latest release, the L.A. based artist expands his sonic palette with more abrasive textures and live drums. He has moved from the bedroom organic samples to vintage emulations and techno break beats. The layering style remains true to his past work, but twisted filters and sudden explosions of synthetic cascades allow him a wider electronic audience while giving old fans what they expected. rec'd: 1, 5, 6, 8, 10 res: none genre: samples Tyler, the creator cherry bomb odd rap <iframe...Read More

Dan Kimball is a recognized authority on the emerging church. After all, he did write the book on the subject. At a recent conference we sat down to talk with Kimball about the future he sees for the emerging church, and how it relates to the growing popularity of all things "missional."
There has been a lot of talk at this conference about the emerging church. Looking into your crystal ball, where do you see this going? Do you think this conversation has legs, or will it morph into something else?
It is totally hard to say. The term "emerging church" now means so many different things depending on who you are asking. So it all depends on what stream of the emerging church we are talking about. For me, the term means churches that are being missional in our emerging culture. That part of the conversation certainly seems to be gaining steam and interest from churches of all types. So I really hope the missional outward thinking is something that grows stronger and lasts. But what that looks like may be constantly changing as culture changes. But I hope we keep gaining a passion for being sent by Jesus into the world. I hope that stream of the emerging church grows and lasts.
You've talked about Guder's book, The Missional Church. Do you see a convergence between the ideas generated by the emerging church and the growing popularity of missional theology, or do you see them as really separate conversations?
To my best understanding the emerging church and the missional church are very much the same. But when you talk about the "emerging church" there is also a stream of conversation which focuses more on pragmatic changes - like worship gathering and helping younger people connect with worship. That is part of it, but it is far more than just making changes in the worship gathering, it is a philosophical way of being a Christian and being churches sent into the world. Personally, I use the terms "emerging church" and "missional church" interchangeably. They are synonymous conversations. But not everyone sees them that way.
Because they're not addressing the deeper, philosophical, theological issues, they're just changing their style?
Some churches only change the style or add an alternative Sunday night worship gathering to see younger people come to the church and consider that to be missional or emerging. That's a wonderful hope and worthy motivation, but usually that isn't addressing the deeper issues. Adding an alternative worship gathering to an existing church is very difficult because the philosophical DNA not going to be different. Being missional requires an ecclesiological change.
That's why I never recommend starting an alternative gathering with a different pastor in an existing church. Being missional must impact the whole of the church, not just a department within the church. That's why most churches-within-a-church don't work and why we are seeing so many church planters. It's hard to change an existing church at this deep a level. It's not impossible, but it is a lot harder than just changing the style of an alternative worship gathering.
Dan Kimball is pastor of Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz, California, and author of They Like Jesus but Not the Church (Zondervan, 2007). A review of his book can be found in the summer issue of Leadership.

Folic acid is very important for the development of a healthy fetus, as it can significantly reduce the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs), such as spina bifida. It is also known as vitamin B9.
It is recommended that women should take a daily supplement of 0.4mg of folic acid while they are trying to conceive, and should continue taking this dose for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby's spine is developing.
You can get folic acid tablets from pharmacies, large supermarkets, health food stores or on prescription from your doctor. One daily tablet contains exactly the amount of folic acid that you need.
Dietary sources of folic acid include green, leafy vegetables, breakfast cereals and whole grain bread. Always check the food labels. However, it would be almost impossible to get enough folic acid just from food; the only way to be sure you are getting the right amount is by taking a supplement.
Liver is also very rich in folic acid, although it is not safe to eat while you are pregnant, or trying to become pregnant. This is because liver is also very rich in vitamin A, too much of which can cause birth defects in your baby.
Some women have an increased risk of having a baby with a neural tube defect (NTD). You may have a higher than average risk if:
If any of the above applies to you, a higher dose of folic acid (5.0 mg) is recommended to reduce your chances of having a child with an NTD. This higher dose is available on prescription from your doctor. Your doctor may also recommend additional screening tests during your pregnancy.
There are also a number of conditions that increase the risk of folic acid deficiency (not having enough in your body).
Anyone taking anticonvulsant medicines, undergoing kidney dialysis, or with conditions such as liver disease, may need to supplement their diet with additional folic acid. This will also apply if you have malabsorption (difficulty absorbing vitamins and minerals) or certain types of anemia.
If you are taking medication for a medical condition, check with your doctor before taking folic acid supplements.

About Me
I have been into photography for a few years but started taking it a bit more serious in 2008. I got myself a high quality photo-equipment incl. a studio flash set and increased the frequency of shooting with models. I think I have reached quite a good level of quality now in technical terms. So I want to move on into applying the quality on creativity. Fetish fotography for example is an area of special interest. Somebody here to team up?

The hotel was amazing! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.
Everything was amazing!
I liked that I only stayed one night of my 4 night reservation and then moved to a real resort.
I didn't like that there was not a shower curtain. I didn't like that at check in, the staff appearance was substandard. I didn't like that Miranda could have informed me that the wifi was not working at check in . Especially since I specifically asked for wifi login information. I had to call and ask for help logging in. That's when Miranda told me the wifi wasn't working. I didn't like that I may as well have been in the room with the guests above our room. We could hear everything. I didn't like that there were no towels at the pool. The cable TV service was virtually unwatchable. I didn't like that they refer to this place as a resort. I didn't like that this property even charges a resort fee! Ridiculous.
I liked how central the location was to food places and things to do.
Did not like how poorly lit the hotel was, narrow TV channels provided, TV was small, only offered two hot breakfast items. Overall I would say this place is one step up from a Motel 6.
Room was spacious and clean, shower was great, location was great.
I was woken up by housekeeping in the morning on the day I checked out- I would have liked to sleep in! And I don't like the hidden "resort fee".
Very kid-friendly and the proximity to Legoland was nice. The staff were generally pretty helpful. The gym had a good selection of equipment.
For the price, the room that we had was sub-par. The wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling and the shower was pretty run-down. Although some of the gym equipment had televisions built in, there was limited volume despite the supplying of headphones. Couldn't really hear anything while running on the treadmill.
Love this place... Property grounds are impeccable! Rooms are clean and updated. Always a great time!
The room and pool area was nice. Blue fire grill was fabulous!
Front desk staff was unhelpful on multiple occasions. The day spa is mediocre at best and is long overdue for renovations! Indoor facility grout is disgusting and the indoor hot tubs are falling apart!
There was a big roach in my room .
Front desk manager was not cooperative .
Over all very vary bad
Upon arrival it looked run down and not worth the $150. Once they wouldn't allow for early check in, the wedding we were attending started @ 2 and check in was 3. We decided after the wedding (8pm) it wasnt worth going back so we drove home to Orange County.
Great Guest Service & Clean Rooms in a Good Location.
Price and room size
next to freeway, not many places to eat nearby
Really good complimentary breakfast - including made-to-order omelettes. Staff was all very friendly and helpful.
the staff was outstanding. the hotel was so clean and well maintenanced. i love that they had a security guard after hours and the location so close to the beach and restaurants was perfect.
Clean, close location to downtown and easy access from FWY and low price. The staff was super friendly and it was very clean. Great value and location.
Very minimal rooms. No shampoo or hair dryer. Very basic room. Loud stomping on upper room above us at 4am. Loud people outside at 3am. You get what you pay for.
even though it is not walking distance from the local downtown Carlsbad area I really enjoyed the quiet and tranquility of the location. I can honestly say all my needs were met with the staff actually going above and beyond it is definitely a Stay again location
I've currently stayed there twice and I am rather concerned over the fact that both times I was put in a specific room the first time the room was under maintenance so I was put in a different room the second time the room is available and I was put in it I kept hearing rambling in the pipes underneath the sink . some might say that's just a coincidence but I am truly curious to Why
Location. Large rooms. Nice amenities.
Cockroaches in bathrooms by pool area. Should provide easier access to beach towels.
Can't beat the location.
Proximity to Legoland. Child friendly atmosphere. Pool was great for kids.
Housekeeping arriving after 5 pm.
very nice pool with kids pool. nice amenities. great location.
hotel needs updating. very squeaky floors with old carpet.
Pillows smelled like sweaty old man!!
Very clean, quiet and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

As seen in Women 2.0 and GOOD...
Social Innovation Book Project: Creating Value-Based Ventures
A vibrant snapshot into the rapidly evolving space of social innovation
A user-friendly, visual book
Our book presents a framework for understanding social innovation through first-hand interviews with leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers in the space. We analyze breakthrough innovations to identify a set of best practices that create both economic and social value.
Topics covered in our book
Through examination of new business models, legal structures and financing sources that are taking shape globally, this book will be an actionable resource for changemakers engaged in this evolving sector.
How are firms like Whole Foods, Patagonia and Danone integrating socio-economic values into the core of their business practices?
What innovations are emerging from traditional sectors like healthcare and construction?
How are new startups redefining social impact and creating new ways of generating social and economic value?
How does the expanding market potential of impact financing affect funding choices for value-based businesses? (The impact investing market potential is estimated at $650 Billion, a fivefold increase from estimates from just a few years ago)
How are trends like mindful consumption, the shared economy, virtual currencies and conscious capitalism fundamentally changing business models? How can new businesses embrace the shift?
The problem-- a market gap
As we explored the available literature, we found that that there are a number of resources on social innovation. There are books, blogs, and journals---but many of these are either written for a niche audience (e.g. nonprofit professionals, investors, etc.) or provide a detailed analysis of a specific sub-specialty within the field. There is a need--a market gap--for a user-friendly book that provides an overview of key concepts of social innovation and serves as a launch pad for individuals wanting to engage in this space.
Our solution-- a book that will:
Examine the new business models, legal structures and financing sources that are emerging globally in the area of social enterprise
Profile cutting-edge examples of social innovation internationally, across sectors (business, nonprofit, startup), and industries (e.g. healthcare, finance, etc.). The idea is to present a breadth of emerging examples of value creation--and then do a deep dive on a select few
Outline best practices based on hard won lessons from a diverse group of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and value-based companies
Help entrepreneurs navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of the social innovation space
Traditionally, caring for the environment or society was the purview of nonprofit organizations; profit maximization was the clear mandate for businesses. However, this binary model is clearly limited and there is an increasing movement to explore new, more holistic models of value creation. Yet, the dominant legal, financing and business structures are designed for a binary world--a world where an entity can function either as a profit-maximizing business or a social/environmental nonprofit, but not as both.
A paradigm shift: mapping critical macro trends that impact the future direction of the new economy
The limitations of capitalism are increasingly evident and leading-edge companies like Patagonia, as well as entrepreneurs across sectors are rethinking the role of business in society. This is an exciting time of creative experimentation where visionary leaders are engaged in creating a new economy, an economy that applies business principles to create a better world. Traditional boundaries between profit-maximizing businesses and philanthropic-minded nonprofit organizations are dissolving and people are increasingly interested in generating both profits and socio-economic value.
Questions that guide our book
As Shivani and Neetal unpack this new, evolving space, they ask emerging and established social enterprises a core set of questions:
Who are the people, companies, and entrepreneurs engaged in creating social and economic value?
What legal structures have they chosen, and why?
Are they employing traditional business models, new ones, or hybrid models?
How have their social enterprises been funded? Traditional capital, impact investing, or something else?
What challenges have they faced, what would they do differently, and what suggestions do they have for social entrepreneurs entering the space today, or in the future?
The book will address these questions through tangible examples and conversations with the people and organizations at the forefront of the social enterprise movement.
Why we need you: empower us to do this right
Writing this book is a passion project for both of us. There are many ways to help develop the ecosystem of social innovation—and this is our way of contributing. We want to produce the best work possible and we need a talented team to make that happen. Your participation will help us:
Bring on board a talented graphic designer who can help us realize our vision and clarify complex information through clear and compelling graphics
Work with the best copy editing resources that our budget allows
Complement the eBook version with a small soft copy run of 300-500 books
We want to get this book out to you as soon as possible so that it emboldens your vision and fuels your drive. Any support, monetary or social media sharing or in-kind offerings, will help us to create a compelling book that can inspire a changing mindset of business and mission.
Ask the authors
Q. What's the format of the book?
We want our book to be useful, accessible, and actionable. The book will be graphic-rich and rely upon well-illustrated infographics, models and charts that present complex information simply and clearly. It will be available as an eBook and in a select number of soft copies.
Q. Is this book US centric or global in scope?
Our book is international in scope and looks at innovative firms/entrepreneurs across the globe--including Asia, Africa, South & Latin America and the United States.
Q. Who is this book for?
This book is for leaders and doers interested in better understanding the social enterprise space. The subjects we cover will resonate with:
Social entrepreneurs: existing entrepreneurs and those interested in starting a social enterprise
Business leaders: those in large enterprises interested in incorporating impact into their business
Emerging market professionals: those engaged in creating products, services & solutions for customers in emerging markets
Impact Investors: people who invest for impact in addition to profit
Legal and policy leaders: people who are at the forefront of social impact law and policy
Career explorers: people who are looking to create a career path in this space.
Q. If I back your project, where will the funds go?
The funds will be used for:
Working with a talented graphic designer & cover art
Engaging an experienced copy editor
Conducting research with leading entrepreneurs and companies
Publishing costs, including a small print run of 300-500 copies
Marketing and promotional events
A small portion will go toward fulfilling campaign rewards
Q. Why write this book now?
This is an exciting time to take a look at this evolving space while its still very much in the making! Social enterprise is no longer in a nascent stage and there is now a critical mass of people and firms engaged in this sector. However, a healthy and supportive ecosystem is still very much in development. This is a unique point in time where dominant paradigms of value creation are in flux and people from a wide swath are actively experimenting with models that are effective.
Q. Who are the authors?
Great question!
We are Neetal and Shivani--and are drawn together by a shared passion to create fulfilling careers that combine the best of the business sector and the social sector. Neetal's legal background and Shivani's business background, combined with both our experience in the non-profit sector, allows us to bring a unique perspective to this project. Following are a few details:
About the Authors
Neetal Parekh is a writer, attorney and social media strategist. She founded Innov8Social in 2011 to explore the growing field of social innovation, and her work has been featured in online publications such as the Stanford Social Innovation Review, TriplePundit, and Social Earth. Since taking a corporations class in law school and learning about fiduciary duties owed to shareholders, she has wondered if there were other ways to structure a business that incentivize pursuing both impact and profit. When she began following and covering the benefit corporation movement in California in 2011 she knew that thinkers and doers were already pursuing this question. Writing this book is a dream come true and she is excited to share what she and Shivani are learning about this fascinating space.
Shivani Khanna received M.A. in Psychology before pursuing her MBA at Santa Clara University. She currently provides business consulting insight to international clients focused on emerging markets and engages in extensive fieldwork in Africa and Asia. Her experience is in developing solutions for base of the pyramid customers in emerging markets, specifically with a focus on financial services and global market development. Her past work experience spans both the non-profit and for-profit sectors. During her work as a Business Leader at Visa Inc. she saw a huge untapped opportunity to create value and impact through developing financial services and solutions for people outside the formal financial sector. Shivani is affiliated with organizations such as the Hub SOMA and Conscious Capitalism. She is passionate about combining the best from both the business world and the social sector to create a third space that provides wealth and dignity.

Connecticut Department of Public Health Environmental & Occupational Health Assessment Program 410 Capitol Avenue MS# 11EOH, PO Box 340308 Hartford, CT 06134-0308 (860) 509-7740 October 2007 www.ct.gov/dph Artificial Turf Fields: Health Questions Cities and towns across Connecticut have increasingly opted for replacement of grass fields with a form of artificial turf that uses recycled rubber tires. The tires are processed into crumb rubber and used as an infill material to cushion the playing surface. Stated advantages over natural grass fields are reduced wa- tering and maintenance, avoiding the need for pesticides, reduced injuries, and an "all-weather" playing surface. Questions have been raised regarding health, safety and environmental aspects of the rubber infill material. Rubber contains industrial chemicals that can be released into the air during playing and which may run off into the environment in rainwater. This fact sheet focuses upon the potential health effects to athletes and spectators using these fields, many of whom are school-age children. What Chemicals Can Be Released By The Infill Material? Some chemicals in rubber vaporize to form a gas (volatile organic chemicals or VOCs such as toluene and benzothiazole), while others remain in the solid-phase (e.g., metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs). Given the variety and types of chemicals involved, it is not surprising that some have toxic or carcinogenic activity when tested in laboratory animals. VOC release from crumb rubber infill is ex- pected to be greatest in sunny, hot weather. Particle release may be affected by the number of athletes us- ing the field and the intensity of their exercise. Temperature gradients and wind will generally afford rapid dilution and low concentrations in the breathing zones of athletes. How Can People Be Exposed To Rubber Chemicals At Artificial Turf Fields? Inhalation and ingestion exposures are possible. Because their play may create airborne particles and because of their high ventilation rate, athletes are expected to receive the greatest exposure. Athletes may also inadvertently ingest dust particles that cling to hands and clothing. Those on the sidelines or grandstands will receive lower exposures. It is also possible that if young children accompany parents to these fields, they may swallow the infill material itself, although the ingestion of whole granules is not likely to be a frequent occurrence. This possibility may increase if artificial turf fields are placed at elementary schools and playgrounds. Since the particles cling to shoes and clothing, it is possible for the infill material to be tracked into homes after leaving the field. This is expected to cause much less exposure than from the fields themselves. Page 2 Are People Exposed To These Chemicals In Other Ways? Yes. Most of the chemicals emitted from the rubber granules are quite common in urban and suburban air. Some comes from rubber itself as roughly 1-2% of the respirable dust in Los Angeles is estimated to come from the wearing of tires. Other sources for these chemicals are also quite common including car exhaust, furnaces, consumer products, flooring and foods. For example, studies in California demonstrate that rubber-based resilient flooring off-gases benzothiazole and other rubber-related VOCs. These materials are commonly used indoors in schools. Is There A Health Risk? Based upon the current evidence, a public health risk appears unlikely. However, there is still uncertainty and additional investigation is warranted. A variety of governmental bodies including Norway, Sweden, New Jersey and California have recently reviewed the health is- sues; their assessments have not found a public health threat. Sources of exposure unrelated to artificial turf fields are likely more important than the turf fields for many chemicals. While DPH does not believe there is a unique or significant health threat from chemical releases that can be inhaled or ingested, the uncertainties warrant further investigation. Should Towns Continue To Install This Type Of Artificial Turf Field? DPH's review does not find any reason to stop installation of these fields. Currently there are no federal or state limits on the installation of crumb rubber-based turf fields. Therefore, it is up to towns to make a case-by-case decision on whether artificial turf is the right choice for a particular setting. While we see no health evidence to stop installations, DPH acknowledges that much of the information is very recent and this area is rapidly evolving. Additionally, the potential exposures and risks have not been fully charac- terized. DPH recommends that towns consider these uncertainties as part of the array of issues evaluated when deciding whether to install artificial turf fields (e.g., cost, maintenance, public acceptability).

There is a lot to see here in Lancaster County. You could sightsee every weekend of the year and still miss out on some of the area's best kept secrets. But, one of our most unmissable attractions is the Fulton Theater in Lancaster City. The Fulton has put on some of Broadway's biggest musicals: Les Miserables, A Chorus Line, and West Side Story among others. And this summer, the Fulton presents one of the biggest shows they've ever done, The Wizard of Oz. Watch Dorothy and Toto (played by Nigel, Broadway's very own dog actor!) as they discover they're not in Kansas anymore. This wild, Technicolor ride has everything from flying monkeys to acrobatic munchkins– including your very own pair of green glasses for the Emerald City! Watch beloved songs and scenes come alive on our very own Lancaster stage. Just a twenty minute drive from Swiss Woods Bed and Breakfast in Lititz, downtown Lancaster City boasts street after street of great restaurants and unique shops. If you're coming for a matinee show, stop at the pop-up park a block before the theater on Prince Street for cold brew coffee from Passenger Coffee and a scoop of homemade ice cream from Penny's Ice Cream Truck. Or after an evening performance, stop in at John J Jeffries restaurant for fresh, local hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. There's so much to see when you stay with us, here at Swiss Woods Bed and Breakfast. Get your seat for The Wizard of Oz (playing through July 19th), and stay tuned for more show-stopping local fun.

From Golf to Gardens: Summer at Swiss Woods
Thursday, May 14, 2015
Greenhouses abound around Lititz PA!
April and now May signal planting time at our Lititz Bed and Breakfast. I love tomatoes and I especially love the heirloom varieties. My sister starts seeds from her Howard German tomatoes, a huge meaty plum shaped tomato, and shares them with me but I love variety, so a visit to my favorite heirloom greenhouse is in order. I found Sunnyside up on Rt 322 west of Ephrata, last year and they have a whole greenhouse filled with every kind of heirloom tomato you could ever want and also an impressive selection of peppers... hot peppers. Ghost peppers, Giant Jalopeno, Habernero.. and so many more. A book with pictures helps you decide just what you want.
I came back to Swiss Woods Bed and Breakfast with Chocolate Cherokee ( a purple grape tomato), a yellow pear, and some jalapenos. A few hollyhock plants begged to come home as well. All are now planted along with several kinds of Basil, parsley, and a variety of herbs.
I love spring. I love planting.
There is more to do than there are hours in the day but nothing beats watching food grow and being able to use home grown produce in our breakfasts.
During your next visit why not visit one of the many greenhouses and take a few plants home?

A great place for a special dinner in Lancaster PA
Don't you love it when you discover a hidden gem that has been in plain sight all the time? That's what happened the other night when I joined two girlfriends for a long overdue girl's night out for supper. Having lived in Lancaster PA for a long time, I have known about this restaurant for many years, and I pass by it whenever I go downtown Lancaster. I always admire how beautifully the exterior is kept and seasonally decorated, and as I drive by, I make a mental note to try and remember to have a meal there next time we are wracking our brains for a "good place to eat". Can anyone relate? Well, everything came together last week, and we ended up at the beautiful Belvedere Inn at 402 N Queen St in Lancaster PA.
From the moment we walked in the door, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The décor is what can be called "fancy" but not in an intimidating way. Our server was very knowledgeable and rattled off the extensive specials list, with remarkable accuracy. We were all stunned by the variety of the extensive menu and when our food came, the presentation was just beautiful. We each ordered something different and in true "girls night out" style we each sampled everything! Every dish was just spectacular! From my choice of 4 hour braised short rib "comfort food", to my friends Pan fried salmon over a succotash of corn, sweet potato, celeriac and lima beans, to the Bison Osso Bucco special, we each devoured every morsel. And then after declaring that we just could not eat another bite, we ordered dessert! Triple Chocolate Pot de Crème, need I say more!
On our way out to the easily accessed parking garage on Queen Street, we vowed to come back with our spouses and spread the word to friends, and our guests at http://www.swisswoods.com/ , that the Belvedere Inn is well worth a visit. Whether celebrating that special occasion while you visit Lancaster PA Dutch country or just spending a lovely night out with friends, it will not disappoint.

Did you know Middle Creek Wildlife Management area is only a 20 min drive from Swiss Woods Bed and Breakfast ?
Did you know Middle Creek Wildlife Management area is only a 20 min drive from Swiss Woods Bed and Breakfast ?
One of the star attractions North of Lititz, PA, is the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. And never is it more breathtakingly beautiful, than in the Fall when all the leaves are turning goldenrod and flaming red. The drive is part of the beauty of visiting this 6,000 acre area, operated by the Pennsylvania Game Commission for the protection, management and preservation of wildlife.
Last weekend my husband and I set out to "the Project" as it is often called by the locals, to soak in some of the beauty of nature. If you are staying at Swiss Woods Bed and Breakfast this is an easy 20 minute drive through some truly beautiful scenery. As we turned off Route 322 and drove a mile or two, we entered a gorgeous wooded area that made us feel far away from any towns and highways. The stress and tension literally started to leave our bodies as we approached the 400 acre manmade lake filled with waterfowl. We saw mallards, wood ducks and Canada Geese as well as a large herd of deer in all their glory. What a sight!
There are many hiking paths of all lengths, from the easy to more challenging, but on this Sunday afternoon we opted for the easy stroll out to the lake. We parked the car in the small parking lot, zipped up our jackets against the light breeze and set off down the half mile paved path. We ended up at a small pavilion overlooking the gorgeous lake. As we sat at the picnic tables in the pavilion, I wished that I had packed a light snack and drink, because I always enjoy a spectacular view when I am eating! We put a couple quarters in the viewing machines and picked out some deer grazing peacefully on the far bank. Next time we will be sure to bring our binoculars! (Guests staying at Swiss Woods Bed and Breakfast, be sure to ask to borrow a pair of binoculars)
We struck up a conversation with a gentleman who knew all the names of the indigenous plants and it was fun learning a bit about the vegetation. It was a wonderful afternoon and just what we needed to unwind from a stressful week. There were other families and couples who had the same idea as us, and it was great to see them taking advantage of this beautiful place. As we were leaving we passed a group of 20 year olds, dressed up in their Sunday best, toting some large pumpkins and other props. They had chosen this beautiful setting for an engagement photo shoot! I was going to hang around to watch this, but when my husband suggested we get going, to end our afternoon at the local Dairy Queen for a milkshake, I changed my mind and (almost) sprinted back to the car. A perfect ending to a perfect afternoon!
