There's one word that can fill even the most adventurous theatre- or comedy-goer with dread: 'improv'. When done well, it's mind-blowingly impressive. When done badly, it's excruciatingly awkward – and boring. 'Blind Date', the brainchild of Canadian actor/improviser Rebecca Northan, falls somewhere in between: it's not funny enough to be good comedy improv, and too slow-paced to be engaging improvised theatre.
Northan plays Mimi, a French clown who has been stood up by her blind date – so she replaces him with a man from the audience. But rather than a few minutes of onstage conversation (or public humiliation), her chosen man is subjected to playing Northan's new date and co-star for the next 90 minutes.
Tonight's victim/volunteer is Jamie, a friendly freelance music manager with a positive outlook. He's a good sport and, crucially, talkative and entertaining. He's just the type of open character you'd think Northan would relish bouncing her award-winning improv skills off. Instead, her responses are dull. Long, awkward silences (appropriate, for a first date, I suppose) leave little evidence of Northan's acclaimed off-the-cuff wit.
The opening 'café' scene is particularly slow: Mimi asks vague questions – 'What else should we know about you?' – leaving her date stumped. And, apart from a nicely-judged birthing scene that provides a few laughs, the show has the same sluggish pace throughout.
To give 'Blind Date' the benefit of the doubt, it is improvised, so perhaps on another night, with a different volunteer, the show could be a riot. But we can't imagine anyone giving Northan more to work with than Jamie. And we don't want to return for a second date to find out.

Tonight's 9pm performance was nothing short of hilarious. Want to watch another show but sadly it ends tomorrow. Go see it - a blast!!!
I LOVED IT! I didn't know anything about the show prior to coming which might make a difference for anyone with expectations. I thought Rebecca was genius! I laughed more than I have in a long time. A truly fascinating insight into the world of improv touching on the world of the personal!
Amazing and funny night all elegantly woven together, fast improv and cheeky wit. I would recommend this show and am planning to go again.
I think Ben William must have had a humour by-pass!!
This show seems to polarise people -- they either love it or hate it -- but I'm a guy and I loved it. Of course your experience will vary because it's *improv.* Not only do they have a different man every night, but the woman is played by three different comediennes! Great date night but be aware that when the hostess is socialising before the play, she's actually shopping for men! The crew are amazing--when our man wanted to play Twister, they actually found a twister game!
I am glad I saw this show before I read this pithy review. I saw Blind Date on Saturday night, and I had such an amazing time! There is truly no theatre more alive then Blind Date. This show is brilliantly crafted and fresh. I understand it is never the same show twice. I have always enjoyed Time Out reviews but I feel you missed the mark on this one. Here is an intelligent review of the show that I read first: http://www.whatsonstage.com/london-theatre/reviews/06-2013/blind-date_30905.html

Since I came to London 2 years ago I have been going to the theatre about once every two weeks and this is BY FAR THE WORST PERFORMANCE I had the DISPLEASURE OF SEEING!!...I laughed twice in over two hours...I rarely write reviews but it was so bad for me (and the friend who came with me) that I just felt obliged to warn others!
Just went to see it tonight, and God it is good!!!! All the actors are amazingly funny and so interactive with the audience. Will definitely go back asap!!!!

Aardvajk commented on ApochPiQ's blog entry in The Bag of HoldingI've finally grasped what you are doing with the run-time function overloading with the sum types. Looks like a really interesting idea - one of those features that could end up having emergent features that you didn't forsee I suspect, like C++'s templates. I'm working on a (far simpler) compiler/VM project myself so find these posts really interesting. Keep them coming.

Aardvajk commented on Kavik Kang's blog entry in Pirate Dawn UniverseIt wasn't an insult in any way at all. I also suffer from mental health problems - I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and am recovering alcoholic and drug addict. There should be no stigma around this in 2017. Nobody with NPD thinks they have NPD. That is the nature of the illness. I was attempting to be empathetic because I can feel your frustration and I wish there was something I could do to alleviate it.
Aardvajk commented on Kavik Kang's blog entry in Pirate Dawn UniverseIt has been amusing in a way, but I'd imagine narcissistic personality disorder must be a nightmare to live with.

As a part of the Center for Student Life construction project, the Special Collections area in Augustana's Thomas Tredway Library underwent a renovation and is ready to be used for research and teaching again.
An open house will be 3:30-5:30 p.m. Tuesday on the first floor of the library at 3435 9 1/2 Ave., Rock Island. Selected materials from the collection will be featured in the Reading Room, as will the current exhibit on the Dakota Conflict of 1862 and a display on library history.
College President Steven Bahls will speak and refreshments will be served.
"The new space is more visible on the first floor, which we hope will draw more people into Special Collections," Special Collections Librarian Sarah Horowitz said.
The renovations include a 24-seat classroom, a better space for indexing and organizing materials, and an improved infrastructure for maintaining temperature and humidity to prolong the life of the materials.
During renovations, librarians had to move all the materials held by Special Collections into storage for four months, and then from storage into the new space.

Boskalis creates new horizons for all its stakeholders. We are leading global dredging and marine experts offering a unique combination of people, vessels and services. Maintaining the highest safety and sustainability standards, we provide innovative and competitive all-round solutions to our clients in the offshore, ports, and coastal and delta regions of the world.
With its roots in the Netherlands, Boskalis has over 100 years' experience in hydraulic engineering, coastal protection and land reclamation. Our head office is located in Papendrecht and we have an extensive network of branches around the world. We operate in 75 countries and across six continents, with a versatile fleet of 1,000 vessels and floating equipment. Shares in the company have been listed on Euronext Amsterdam since 1971 and are included in the AEX-Index.
Job description
Whether they involve development, construction, maintenance and decommissioning of oil- and LNG-import/export facilities, offshore platforms, pipelines and cables, or offshore wind farms: all projects at Boskalis start with a tender procedure. As a cost engineer, you are at the heart of the business and you play an important role in tendering for complex multidisciplinary projects in the Offshore Energy division. With colleagues including the tender manager and proposal engineer, you will attend the kick-off meeting. The tender phase proper starts after this meeting and it is important that you, as a cost engineer, maintain contact with all the internal procedures because you need input from different departments to draft a sound cost budget. In short, you initiate and organize actions in your role as cost engineer and you can get the parties involved on the move. Needless to say, you advise the project team, and the tender manager in particular, with respect to the various scenarios and associated cost budgets. You are also able to identify a range of interests (internal and external) and to communicate about them at different levels. During risk sessions, you will provide input about cost-related risk scenarios. On the basis of your technical expertise and experience, you can already visualize a project at the tender stage. On occasion, you will visit projects to learn from 'best practices'.
Your work as a cost engineer is very varied but your main duties/areas of activity will include:
- drafting, on the basis of various scenarios, a cost estimate or budget on the basis of the specifications or call-for-tender documents supplied by the client;
- providing the tender documents and managing the estimate or budget file and the estimate database;
- helping with the preparation and submission of the tender to the client;
- supporting the project team during the planning, the production of a draft schedule and work budgets using budget programs;
- obtaining and appraising prices from subcontractors, suppliers and contract personnel;
- drafting retrospective costings during and after the execution of a project on the basis of procured services and products;
- mapping out and recording risks, both during the tender phase and project follow-up;
- collecting, analyzing and managing multi-disciplinary information and, where necessary, submitting proposals for changes in standards and calculation methods.
Job requirements
You are a cost engineer who works best in a complex and dynamic working environment. You enjoy variety and you have no difficulty in switching quickly between different departments. You are a self-starter who can retrieve all the required information quickly and get the right people involved in the process. In short, your helicopter view will be useful to you in your role as cost engineer. You will always be working in a team so it is important for you to be able to coordinate seamlessly with a range of departments and colleagues. You have a strong customer focus but you never lose sight of the interests of the organization. On the basis of your expertise and experience, you have the ability to coach and supervise colleagues. In addition, you have:
- a technical degree, for example in civil engineering, maritime engineering, mechanical engineering, offshore engineering or technical business studies;
- at least 8 years of relevant employment history in an engineering position;
- a proven understanding of contract management and financial-economic business processes;
- a detailed familiarity with Excel, as well as experience with database structures and how they work;
- preferably experience with Cleopatra budgeting software;
- sound language skills in both written and spoken Dutch and English.
Completion of cost engineer training, such as napDACE or AACE, will be an advantage.
Additional information
As a cost engineer, you will be working in the Design Tendering Engineering Department (DTED): the Boskalis management support office. The department is located in Papendrecht and it supplies services to the various business units in the Offshore Energy division. The tenders that the team works on are subdivided into offshore floating, offshore wind farms, transport & installation, heavy marine transport and logistical management. You will be working in a team consisting of eight cost engineers and you will answer to the tender department manager.

YUCK!! This candy tastes disgusting and is really gross!!!
Kids buy it all the time, it comes in a very small yellow barrel, the lid is green (like toxic goo running down it) and inside is packaged candy (SOUR candy!!)
Some people like sour, and sour can be good.. But This!? just tastes like toxic waste!
I guess it's supposed to!? lol I dunno, but Personally it's not for me (or my kid..she doesn't like it either!)
Everyone is Different, I'm sure some like this!?!!! :)

If you can't get enough of The Princess Bride, you'll eventually have another way to enjoy it. Disney Theatrical Productions is planning to develop a stage production based on the 1973 novel and 1987 screenplay by William Goldman. I hope every word of that means what I think it means.
They haven't decided whether it will be a musical yet, but I'd be completely okay with that option. Alan Horn, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, pushed the deal and though they haven't announced the creative team yet, I bet they're cautious with turning over the keys. The story is too beloved for them not to be careful with it. Whoever they bring on board and whatever the format of the play, I'm just glad they're going this route instead of rebooting the film.

I desperately want to get a good grill pan to make burgers and chicken on without having to use my outdoor grill (charcoal, so not the type of thing I can use every day!) or George Foreman grill (hope to relegate that to grilled cheese duty). I understand that cast iron is the way to go, not nonstick, because you can get it much hotter to do the searing required.
But the problem is that I have one of those flat-top electric stoves with no burners. You have to go to great lengths not to screw up its ceramic surface. I have a large Lodge cast iron skillet that I got to make frittatas and the first time I used it with medium high heat it smoked like crazy and left blackened marks on my stove that I had to scrub like crazy to get out. I don't have a real exhaust vent so the smoke was annoying as well. I now only use it on medium-low heat (which kind of defeats the purpose).
So, can you use cast iron cookware on flat-top stoves without screwing up the stove top or cookware? Are there any particular ways I should cook with it? Any particular products I should look for (like, is enameled cast iron going to be better?)? I appreciate the advice!

Nokia Professional Services are ready to support customers reach nearly 100% network availability in the 5G era.Nokia 5G era use cases at Mobile World Congress 20165G Autonomous vehicles: 5G facilitates autonomous driving by providing ultra-low latency connectivity for fast-moving autonomous systems, which require constant and virtually uninterrupted communication flow to improve road safety and reduce congestion.5G Industrial networking connecting robots: An ultra-reliable, low latency 5G network rapidly synchronizes interconnected robots steered by remote intelligence. With 5G, manufacturing industries will be better equipped to achieve productivity targets through a unified, computing infrastructure instead of today's fragmented industrial standards.5G stadium experience: Fast, live multi-casting with synchronous data transmission across a large number of smartphones. Users will be able to augment and share their real stadium experience with live video feeds from different camera positions and virtually no delay in transmission.5G Interactive Virtual reality: Through 1 millisecond latency and high throughput, two mobile virtual reality users will be able to collaborate as if they are in the same physical location. Remote collaboration and telepresence will optimize various business applications and processes, including distance learning, manufacturing and the maintenance and repair of machines.5G Massive Capacity: Bell Labs has also developed aggregation technologies that will deliver record-breaking peak rates of 30 Gbps and provide a more consistent and reliable quality of experience for subscribers. This is achieved by aggregating different mobile and fixed technologies into a single, ultra-capacity stream for the end user. These innovations allow operators to maximize the utilization of their network assets. 5G Massive Connectivity: Nokia will demonstrate the transformations in the cellular network to achieve record-breaking numbers of device connections and connectivity with new technology innovations from Bell Labs. Using new waveforms, connectionless messaging and flexible application-based routing, this ultra-low latency support will usher in the new IoT era with the automation of everything.In a proof-of-concept demo, Nokia will introduce the concept of 5G-driven "extreme automation". This new concept will show how to simplify the operation of a complex array of new 5G use cases.Prof. Frank H.P. Fitzek, Deutsche Telekom chair of the communication networks group at Technische Universität Dresden coordinating the 5G Lab Germany, said: "With our expertise in 5G communication systems, we are collaborating closely with Nokia to realize a new kind of low-latency 5G services also known as Tactile Internet."Low latency communication, together with security and resilience, enables ubiquitous steering and control of remote objects and devices like driverless connected cars, industry robots, and remote surgery. These capabilities improve efficiency and allow for new use cases in industry sectors like mobility, manufacturing, and healthcare."Marcus Weldon, President of Bell Labs and CTO at Nokia, said: "5G will give birth to the next phase of human possibilities, bringing about the automation of everything. This automation, driven by a smart, invisible network, will create new businesses, give rise to new services and, ultimately, free up more time for people. Nokia is working with our customers today to help build and plan for a journey that will transform network architectures, and have great impact on our lives."James Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on... 5GMWC17: Ericsson expands 5G access and transport portfolioOperators trial intercontinental 5G roaming using network slicing Nokia claims 'first' 5GTF connectionMore on... 5GSK Telecom, Ericsson and BMW clock up fastest 5G speed for connected carMWC 2017: Zinwave to unveil new in-building wireless solutionsMore on...

The breath-taking view from the terrace will get you even more in the holiday mood! This comfortable apartment is perfect to enjoy the good life. You'll stay in a great central location. Discover in this area the shops, cafes and restaurants behind the mosque.
Besiktas is one of the oldest areas of Istanbul but these days also a modern, vibrant and fun neighbourhood. Examples of historical must-sees are the Dolmabahçe Palace, Yildiz Palace and the Istanbul Sea Museum.
Besides historical highlights you'll find here many bars and restaurants and cheerful groups of young people enjoying the nightlife. It's close proximity to the Golden Horn and Taksim area together with great transportation links make it even more attractive.
We really enjoyed the view overlooking the Bosphorous, and the apartment was comfortable and met our family's needs. It is conveniently located in Beskitas with good "walkability", and a market, butcher, and liquor store just down the hill. The hill that the apartment is on is very steep; we had no problems walking it, but other people might. The majority of the apartment was very clean; however, after we checked in we noticed clumps of long dark hair and dust clumps in the rooms and the dining room table underneath the plastic tablecloth was very dirty. As we are not very squeamish people, we just cleaned the apartment ourselves and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The weekly housekeeping service was great and efficient, and we were provided with clean bedding and towels. We would suggest that a full-size broom and dust pan be provided for your renters, as well as additional trash bags and dishwasher soap, especially for families like us who like to cook while on vacation. Instructions on how to operate the clothes washer and where to take the trash would have been appreciated too. An extra set of keys would be awesome, as sometimes we had problems coordinating access to the apartment if our family wanted to split up to enjoy Istanbul. We loved the neighborhood, the people, the city, and the view!

Marvel's decision to release Captain America 3 on the same date as Zack Snyder's Batman vs. Superman has taken the internet by storm. The mightiest superheroes of both universes will confront each other in the box office arena on May 6, 2016.
The head-to-head battle of the two films, which Time calls the "fight of the century", will feature a spectacular face-off between Marvel and DC, Disney and Warner Brothers, and most importantly, Captain America and the superhero trinity including Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.
According to some analysts, it demonstrates Marvel's confidence in the Captain America franchise, particularly after the record-breaking success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which opened last Friday.
It all started when Marvel slated an unnamed film for release on May 6, 2016, only for DC to move back the release date of the Man of Steel sequel to the same day.
Now that the name of the film has finally been revealed, it is being widely speculated that one out of the two will retract its decision and change the release date.
While assessing the situation, Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for Rentrak was quoted in a Daily News report as saying, "There's never been a weekend where two movies open with $100 million. If you are gunning for some kind of record, it's going to be tough with that level of competition on the same date. It's a classic head to head matchup, you don't see that very often considering all the strategic planning that takes place in Hollywood."
However, the ultimate winners of the battle will be the fans. Who wouldn't want a double-feature of Captain America and DC heroes on the same day, right?

But there is no timeline for a decision, spokesman Carlos Diaz said.A leading industry group supports using barges for the waste but isn't happy with the details of the Coast Guard proposal. In a Dec. 6 letter, the Marcellus Shale Coalition hailed the potential to reduce the waste being transported by highway but complained the proposal set the threshold too low for naturally occurring radiation, which would effectively prevent wastewater from being shipped by barge. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency couldn't immediately say Friday whether they have a position on the barge wastewater issue.

How Is It Possible for a Wine to Taste Like Rocks?
How Is It Possible for a Wine to Taste Like Rocks?
Posted January 09, 2015
Stephen Fahy
One of the most pretentious and indeed confusing terms in winespeak is the characterization of wines with "minerality". Sensations like sweetness, fruitiness, dryness are universally understood, relatively speaking, as they're readily found in most of the foods you eat, but aside from my 2 year old daughter, who else do you know that goes around licking wet stones every chance she gets?
Minerality is a real sensation, and fortunately the best term used to capture the capacity of a wine's ability to showcase the soil that make a particular vineyard or sub-region unique. While it is much more salient on the palate than to the nose, it adds a textural sensation that binds wines from a specific sub-zone or area.
Take 5 minutes to stand amidst the vineyards in the slate-rich soils of Priorat, Spain, or the limestone/Kimmeridgian soils of Chablis and you will immediately get it: the vines (and therefore the wines) are products of their stony environment. Vine roots extend down 5 meters or more to get the nutrients they need, sucking up all the water and organic matter that flows over impermeable rock, adding immeasurable complexity to the juice that the vine ultimately produces.
Three wines with outstanding minerality, handpicked by us. Grab them now!
Here's the reality: minerality cannot be scientifically measured like grams of sugar or pH levels. However we know it exists because wines from distinctly different vineyard locations share alarmingly similar characteristics, vintage after vintage that bind them to that location. As such, it is indisputable that minerality affects and sways the complexion, structure, and flavors of a wine, but it's much more than just an accent (like salt). It creates lace-like structure that delivers pinpoint flavors reminiscent of gunflint, smoke, chalk and even crunchy fruit (think Pomegranate).
Minerality also adds textural traction on the palate, a grip, so to speak, so that wines from Penedes or Sancerre or even Pinot Noir from the Eola-Amity area of the Willammette Valley (again, think crunchy Pomegranate) show a 'calling card' dimensionality that is unique to that area of the world.
So the next time you see your daughter licking rocks, you can play along: put down the granite and pick up a glass of Riesling. It'll be better for you in the long run!
If you're interested in trying some wine that really showcases minerality, click here to see three great bottles we picked out for you.

No Exit for Seinfeld: A Consideration of the Final Episode
Written By Jerry Seinfeld for West/Shapiro Production
Reviewed by Annalee Newitz
Thursday, July 30 1998, 2:46 PM
In the haze of publicity surrounding The Final Hour and Fifteen Minutes of Seinfeld, one particular Hollywood gossip show's comment on the event caught my attention. Comparing Seinfeld to MASH (whose final episode received the highest ratings of any TV show in history), a reporter for Extra noted, "If Seinfeld was about nothing, then MASH was the opposite." The meaning was clear: MASH had been a social problem comedy about "everything" - women's rights, racism, homosexuality, the "new man," U.S. politics - Seinfeld dealt only with the mundanities of everyday life.
And yet the two shows seemed to share more than this nothing/everything distinction would allow. Both gave us memorable characters whose experiences mirrored the most common elements of a particular generation's life, and both used comedy to satirize (often quite bitterly) social conventions. What war and civil rights struggles were to the MASH generation, social nihilism and economic rootlessness are to the Seinfeld generation. And unlike wacky feel-good sitcoms like Cheers or The Cosby Show, neither MASH nor Seinfeld ever shied away from saying that life was anything but sweet.
Perhaps this explains why the Final Moments of Seinfeld felt more like a pop version of Jean-Paul Sartre's ultra-dark existentialist play No Exit than it did a tearful-but-loving kiss goodbye. No Exit, an ironic depiction of hell, consigns its three irresponsible, thoughtless characters to an afterlife with only each other, in a room they cannot leave. Similarly, the Seinfeld episode ends with Elaine, Jerry, Kramer and George trapped with each other in a jail cell, having the same aimless conversations about "nothing" that they've had for years. They've been sentenced to a year in jail under a new "Good Samaritan" law, which states that you must come to someone's aid if a crime is being committed against them. Instead of helping a man who is being robbed, Jerry and Co. have been videotaping it and making fun of the hapless victim. At their trial, we are treated to the testimony of witness after witness (all characters from past episodes) who argue that the Seinfeld gang are a bunch of cruel, self-absorbed creeps who adore causing misery and chaos in the lives of everyone around them.
The conclusion of the show, then, is in fact about "everything"--it reminds us that our everyday lives are littered with the bodies of the people we've wronged, dismissed, or even (in this comic exaggeration) maimed and killed. We are also reminded of a central but often subtle motivating premise of the show, which is simply that ordinary life for most individuals is like being in jail. You don't need to have been in a war and go mad afterwards as MASH's Hawkeye did to drive this point home. All you need to do is become a working stiff in a civilization where leisure is no more entertaining or fulfilling than your alienating daily labor.
Even your friends won't really save you, as the constant friction and irritations between the Seinfeld characters make clear. Companionship on Seinfeld is more a matter of proximity than anything: you talk to your cellmate because she's there, not because you have compassion for her. And thus Seinfeld ended its nine-year run on television as bleakly as it began, in a world where humorous one-upmanship is our only possible form of satisfaction. It's a perfect message for the economically and culturally depressed final decade of our second millennium. "Nothing" is indeed the meaning of "everything."

How MAGIC Changed my life!
As a small child, I did not read very much. Both my mother and brother read everything! Well, I liked magic and I couldn't get enough of it. My mother dragged me to several libraries each week, to feed her hunger for reading. I wandered around and one day I found a treasure trove of magic books. WOW! Lots of stories of magicians and how they did their magic tricks. I was in heaven. I read and read.
Later on, I wanted the bigger tricks and illusions, but they cost too much for a young person still in 4th grade. So my father let me use his tools to make some. I got handy with carpentry. I helped my father fix up the house and remodeled several rooms. Eventually took jobs remodeling other peoples houses.
I met a beautiful girl, Mary, at high school. She bought me my first rabbit, Harvey. She assisted me on stage. We got married about a year after graduation. Along the way I put myself though college doing handy-man work with electrical, plumbing and carpentry.
Now, I have a family, a career and my hobby...magic. I feel that I owe a lot of my success to magic, because magic got me reading and learning carpentry. To discover something you love, at such a young age helps develop your mind and give you a sense of purpose. I also gained a lot of confidence in myself. This is very important for children.
I don't drink, smoke, take drugs, gamble, or cheat. I found that special something that occupied my thoughts and time in a constructive way. I hope you find it too. Whether it is magic, music, singing, gardening, or whatever. Pursue your interests and enjoy life.

Staff was very helpful , great location !!!!
The location and the staff. We have been going here for years and it has had many upgrades in that time. The housekeeping staff is so helpful and friendly. You meet a lot of nice people there. if you are looking for the Amish experience this is the place.
Location and price Beds were uncomfortable
Nice quiet, quaint, hotel in amish country.

Hotel was in a lovely farm area, no hustle and bustle of the shopping areas. No noise from traffic or anything. Beautiful to watch the sunrise over the farms. Great little playground! The only thing is the queen bed seemed more like a double bed.
It was in a perfect location. The staff was very friendly and room was clean. Nothing.
Location, price, clean / comfortable room, with good restaurant across the parking lot. Coffee mwork.in room didn't work. Day two got a replacement but next morning it also did not work.
Room was comfortable, clean and cozy. Rural setting is very nice and quiet. Heater was high in a corner. Took a little bit to warm up room evenly.
It was a relaxing location and the view made us feel at home.Staff is very friendly.
location, out in Amish country close to some of our favorite shopping. price, nice clean big room w/ frigerator & microwave and nice furniture w/3 full beds great deal the sink/vanity area in the room and not part of the bathroom. one bed out of three was old and not real cormfortable
It was off the beaten path and a good price for the short stay we had. It was raining and cool so the outside things were not usable. Were in the process of opening pool area. Could not rate those things. Breakfast was cereal and breads with good coffee. Motel is older and could use an update but everything worked and was clean. We would stay there again. Staff was friendly and helpful. Asked for a king when booked but got 2 queens. As it happened that was better for us. Updating the bath area could have made this a more attractive place.The age made me check to see if clean. It was and that wasn't a problem just looked old.
did not like the bed bugs bed buggs
I did not like the fact that you had to wait until 7:00 to get coffee. Then, at 7:00 there was a note on the door that they were not open until 7:30. Coffe was only served from 7:00 til 8:00. That does not give someone much time to get up and run down to the office. I think the rooms should have coffee makers in them. That would make the stay much nicer.
Staff very friendly, fridge, phon on request
Quiet location. nice pool, clean room, small fridge a plus.

Staff was friendly and gave good recommendation on a restaurant. Also room older but in good condition and clean. Microwave and refrigerator were good and good TV with decent service. There was no light switch or light by the bed so had to get up from bed to turn off light and stumble past table and chairs to get into bed. Towels so thin I had to use two to dry off.
Nothing really

Clean inexpensive motel. Everything worked. In room fridge. Plenty of hot water. Good sized room. Met Beds were not that good.
It was available cheaply and at the last minute. It's in a lovely country spot and would be great for people who like that. The wiring seemed a little old, the beds were a little stiff, and there were two dying insects on the sink counter. At least they were dying.
A pet friendly motel that has a great back area to walk our dog safely! The staff is very nice and the place is kept extremely clean. This is our second visit and look forward to being able to return soon!!
Nothing Everything
Location: right in the middle of this nice little historic town, and the heart of Amish country, only 20 minutes from the town of Lancaster. Bathroom was exceptional for 2-star: clean, newly-renovated. Loud, rumbling/squealing noise overhead one night, had to run AC all night to drown it out. Public spaces smelled of mildew. Bath soap was sticky and flimsy.
The only good thing about this hotel was that it was in a fairly good location. Totally run down condition. Pool was empty in complete disrepair. Rooms had old musty smell. Room was cheap but still overpriced. Breakfast not available as advertised. Blood stains on bed linens. Less than stellar looking people 'hanging out'. Deplorable
cleanliness and quiet could be upgraded sometime

Stayed in July 2011 I have stayed at this motel several times before. While not a top notch place it was good for the price. New managment opened the pool, never saw it open before. Place is getting run down. AC does not work well, ice machine broken, no AC in the ice drink room, I believe they were supposed to have WIFI. Did niot work. Looked like a family of 6, maybe 4 klids and two adults were long term eresidents. Go to Lancaster 2-3 times a year, love the area. Will not go back to this place.
The location is right in a convenient area not far from everything there is to do in Amish country. This was definitely the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I've done a few 1 and 2 star rated hotels in the past, but this was the most filthy of them all. Dirty sheets, strong cigarette odor (in a non-smoking room), no breakfast, and limited hot water.
Price and convenience No really, clean but a few repairs to the decor would help.
The location was good, helpful staff, clean, and the price was very good. We were surprised because after we made our reservations we read a lot of bad reviews.
I stayed at this motel in July and enjoyed it immensely. The staff allowed us to check in 4 hours early which was real blessing after driving 4 hours with my 82 year-old father. A throwback to the days of 'motor courts' from when I was a child, I was shocked at the owner's desire to make sure we enjoyed every aspect of our stay. VERY comfortable beds (appear to be fairly new), clean rooms, more-than-adequate cable TV programming, in-room microwave and fridge, on-site swimming, a lovely well-kept lawn with lounge chairs under a variety of shade trees, and a very nice complimentary breakfast of coffee, tea, milk, juice, cold cereals, donuts, muffins, assorted bagels and toast, and a variety of loaf cakes and puff pastries. Dad and I also took advantage of the discount that Amish Lanterns offers to guests to enjoy an extensive breakfast buffet at Hershey Farms ($*/pp) which is located right up the road from the motel. The owners also gave us a coupon for a complimentary all-you-can-eat pizza and pasta buffet at Cici's (with the purchase of one regularly priced buffet meal). Finally, the owner gave us a complimentary discount booklet from Tanger Outlets (sells for * at the outlet) which included discounts not only for outlet stores, but for area attractions as well. When we got home from our trip, mom was so excited about the good time that dad and I had, that she decided we should all go visit again for the upcoming Labor Day weekend! All in all an exceptional value for your money and owners who really pay attention to providing their guests with a pleasant stay. PS. You'll also love the clip-clop sound of the local Amish passing by the motel in their horse-drawn carriages, especially in the evening.
Location Not very friendly staff, room not cleaned or beds made after first night, on service was clean towels delivered. Room very outdated, pool did not look clean, did not want to use it after seeing it. Very poorly managed property, would not stay again!!!!!
The room was supposed to be a non-smoking room, but the stench of stale cogarette smoke was so strong I only took one step into the room. I complained and requested another room. I was given another room, and a can of Febrese, being told that although they say no smoking in the rooms, guests often do as they please. The 2nd room was not as bad as the first, but when I finally got into bed, I realized that one of the legs was broken, so the bed sloped down to the right. I didn't bother complaining, I was afraid of what the 3rd room would bring. The bathroom was filthy, but fortunately I had Clorox wipes in the trunk of my car, so I was able to clean down the entire bathroom before we used it.
It was in the area we were visiting. The room was very dirty - sheets had not been changed from previous person because we found socks and a cd case in the bed. The room had an awful musty smell and the air conditioner had to be on to help with the smell. The fridge had water on the counter.
Loved the location. Clean room. Beautiful furniture. Old plumbing. Problem getting hot water shut off. Very limited breakfast items - but they tasted great.


text: According to figures in The Hollywood Reporter, James Cameron's Avatar has earned (or rather, is earning — the weekend isn't over) $68.3m on its third weekend, breaking another record (not accounting for inflation and higher 3D/IMAX ticket prices). The previous record holder for weekend 3 was Spider-Man which earned $45m in 2002 (approx. $52m in 2008/9). After 17 days, Avatar has taken in a total of $352.1m at the domestic box office, 75 percent of which at higher-priced 3D theaters. It's currently #15 on the list of all-time biggest box-office hits ever. Next, Avatar will overtake Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight to become the second biggest domestic grosser ever, right after Cameron's own Titanic. Overseas, Avatar added $133m this weekend, lifting its international total to $670 million. Its current worldwide gross stands at $1.02 billion. In its first 17 days in the US/Canada, Titanic earned $241m adjusted for inflation (but not for 3D/IMAX premiums) according to Box Office Mojo. That late 1997 release, however, was initially screened in fewer theaters than Avatar and kept picking up steam as the weeks went by thanks at least in part to teenagers enthralled by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's doomed love affair. The Reporter adds that Avatar "was reportedly the most expensive film ever made, with a budget of at least $300 million." That's about $80m more than what 20th Century Fox claims Avatar cost to produce. James Cameron's first narrative feature since Titanic, Avatar stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Laz Alonso, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, and West Studi. Other films doing well at the domestic box office this weekend are Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, with $38.4 million; Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, with $36.6m; and the Meryl Streep romantic comedy It's Complicated, with $18.4m.
