This bed and breakfast is over the top, we were completely surprised by all the little details of the suite! Very comfortable and relaxing and a beautiful view! The breakfasts served each morning were out of this world, we will definitely return!

This was our first bed and breakfast experience. It was so beautiful, quiet, relaxing, and the food was amazing. I have been telling my friends about this place. The Inn Keeper Joanne was very helpful and gave great recommendations for restaurants to eat at. Johnny's Steakhouse is a must. We will be back again.

My girls and I stayed here in July and really enjoyed everything about this property. The suite was beautiful, the quiet surroundings, and relaxing in the hot tub in the evening. Joanne is a gracious host. We plan to return in the future.

I totally enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck overlooking the farms in the valley. The hot tub was a wonder, the rooms were beautiful, the service was great, the food was delicious. The complimentary snacks, lotions, soaps, etc were very good in creating a welcoming environment. No complaints.

Our family (2 Adults, Twin 14 year old girls, and an 11yr old) had the opportunity to stay at the Suite Escape B & B this past weekend. Joann and family could not have done any better.. From staying up and welcoming ups at 10:30 Friday evening, to the spacious well appointed clean rooms, Incredible Breakfast, and the awesome views..! It was our kids first experience at a B & B and they want to go back..! They would love to go back next weekend...! The Jacuzzi tub with the view of the Pennsylvania hillside was a hit..! We felt like we were at home...! Oh and we had to order several dozen of the chocolate chip cookies "to go"!! Highly Recommended!
5 sur juin 14, 2017
Without a doubt, the best breakfast you will EVER get at a B&B, hands down. The room is wonderful and the view sitting on the patio furniture is terrific. It's surrounded by farms on two sides, which makes for a very quiet and relaxing experience. Joanne & Stuart are wonderful people, and have a lot of information to give you on the area.
5 sur mai 24, 2017
Joanne is amazing..The property sits on the top of the hill so you can see the beautiful Amish Farms.. The morning breakfast is also amazing..My wife and I have been going since 2008 and continue to be blown away everytime we stay..

This is my home away from home. I really enjoy staying here when I come to Lancaster. It's so relaxing and quiet. I love the breakfasts.

We had such a wonderful relaxing time ! I absolutely love how a binder was in the room with places we could visit or dine. The room was wonderful clean it was almost like a mini house! Hot Tub was a A+ ! We definitely will be coming again to visit! Thank you so much ! You take great Pride in your Bed and Breakfast!

My wife and I recently stayed at A Suite Escape during a semi-annual trip to Lancaster County to shop and explore. After a full day of visiting sites all across Lancaster County we needed a cozy relaxing environment to recharge. We found that at Suite Escape. Joanne called us right around check in time to see if anything was needed before we arrived and made sure we were met upon arrival. Within minutes we were into our suite and able to enjoy the grounds! The view was beautiful and the property well manicured despite it being late March (with very little blooming and snow piles from the recent major snowstorm still all around the area). Our room was quiet and we enjoyed a splendid night. The breakfast provided in the morning was delicious! Highly recommended and we will be back!

It's our happy place where we go to get away from it all pure joy peace and tranquility exist there. We've been going since it opened for 10 years now and there's nothing better !

A Suite Escape is truly an escape from the everyday. We love getting away here and will most definitely be back. The room is cozy and clean, the service is wonderful and the breakfast is always delicious.

We were extremely pleased with the accommodations awaiting us at A Suite Escape. Everything was just what we had hoped it would be! Joanne was very friendly and it was certainly a place to relax and unwind. Very delicious and filling breakfasts!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Suite Escape, would definitely recommend it to to others! A perfect place to escape work pressures for a few days and relax. The Chamomile room was just what we needed.

Sad I only got to spend one night in this paradise. Everything was perfect! I will definitely be back!

Everything was wonderful! Our room,our view, are breakfast was like being at a five star restaurant.My husband enjoyed the hot tub after a full day of antiquing ! We can not wait to do this get away again.

Definitely not your typical B&B. Beautiful setting and the Martins make you feel right at home. No commercial feeling here. A truly relaxing and reinvigorating atmosphere. Joanne's breakfasts are to die for!
5 sur juillet 01, 2016
We recently stayed for a second time at A Suite Escape. Joane is a fabulous hostess and she knows how to run a first-rate establishment. She is most helpful and goes out of her way to provide information and assist in any way possible. Everything was perfect--the modern/spacious accommodations, the comfortable mattress, the cleanliness, the serene/private/quiet setting, the topnotch breakfast. Located in the hub of the Amish country, this B & B is well deserving of FIVE STARS. We will be returning many more times. Ronald & Karen Parker Ocean City, NJ
5 sur juin 17, 2016
This was our second visit to A Suite Escape in several years. Joanne is very accommodating and quite the cook! What we love is the quiet location with a lovely view of the Amish farmland. The room was beautiful with special little touches. We look forward to our next visit.
5 sur juin 09, 2016
My wife an I recently had our 30th anniversary. We spent one night here while we were in the area and had a fantastic experience. The room, the breakfast, and the owner were all exceptional. Would definitely go back again.
5 sur mai 25, 2016
This was the third time that we stayed at A Suite Escape and it certainly won't be the last. Even a day of rain couldn't dampen the weekend. You will simply not find a better breakfast than at A Suite Escape. Joanne is a wonderful cook (and as a better than average cook myself I know what good cooking is all about), and she and Stuart are warm and friendly people and great to talk to. We have stayed at dozens of B&B's over the years and have gone to only one other more than once. You will not be disappointed! - Greg & Debby
4,4 sur mai 21, 2016
My husband and I had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary. The onsite dining is for the breakfast only. It was outstanding! My husbands favorite was the French toast, mine was the fruit smoothie. Even if the weather wasn't the best, the hot tub was so relaxing. Joanne was very helpful if we needed anything. If you like your privacy and want to relax this is the place to go! Pete & Connie

Beautiful room! Delicious food! Perfect location! I can't wait to go back!

This is our 3rd stay at A Suite Escape...Joann is the perfect hostess and her breakfast is out of this world!! Delivered right to your room so you don't have to get dressed. It's like breakfast in bed!! Will definitely stay again!!

First time bed and breakfast for my husband and I. Almost had to cancel because of snow, but they were ready for us. So glad we made the trip. Was a relaxing evening and wonderful morning breakfast. Definitely coming back for more visits. Joanne was a wonderful host and a great cook.

Beautiful setting overlooking Lancaster farm land and the breakfast was absolutely outstanding. The host was very friendly and was sensitive to our quick check-in since we needed to be at a conference.
5 sur juin 12, 2015
This was our second visit with Joanne & Stuart and it was just like the first - fantastic. Absolutely the best breakfast you will ever get at a B&B. We have gone to dozens and nothing comes close to the experience of staying here. The view is great, the hot tub a plus. We look forward to our next visit!
5 sur avril 13, 2015
My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. It was our first time staying at a Bed & Breakfast. Everything was absolutely amazing. We are already planning on going back.

We loved this place and wished we could have stayed longer than one night! Everything was wonderful and the breakfast was awesome! We will be back. Thanks.
5 sur mars 16, 2015
My husband and I have never stayed at a bed and breakfast before. It was a great experience, Joanne the hostess was fantastic. She had made us a snack and left us beverages for when we arrived. We stayed in the chocolate suite which was amazing, very clean, very comfortable, it felt like an upscale hotel room. The bathroom is huge with a two-person tub which we took advantage of. Breakfast the next morning was very good and very filling. They accommodate all your needs. We highly recommend it and would definitely stay there again.
4,6 sur février 11, 2015
Our hosts went over and above what is expected. We were met car-side and shown in to a wonderful, clean, stunning room. Breakfast was excellent and there was plenty! I would highly recommend A Suite Escape!!
5 sur février 02, 2015
My husband and I have stayed here several times and have been in both rooms. In Jan.2015 we stayed in the Chocolate Suite. We visit the Lancaster area at least a couple of times a year and have stayed in many places but this is definitely one of our favorite places to stay. The rooms are spacious, bathrooms are very large, beds are comfortable, and its always very clean. This stay I especially enjoyed the Christmas tree in our room that added an extra homey touch. Joanne is a wonderful hostess and cares about even the finest details... ex. we arrived to the candles lining the walkway being lit and cookies in our room. Her breakfasts are delicious and homemade. We would recommend this B&B and will be back again.
5 sur janvier 15, 2015
Joanne is a wonderful person. The room is absolutely beautiful and breakfasts is delicious. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the two-person soaking tub. Very romantic atmosphere, looks like a room in a 5-star hotel with the feel of home. We will definitely return for another quiet, relaxing weekend!
5 sur décembre 12, 2014
I stayed for one night in November with my best friend as part of a birthday weekend that I chose partly because of its proximity to shopping. The suite was absolutely amazing! The hospitality was top notch. There was nothing lacking in this mini vacation in any respect - breakfast, décor, location, the view, and the accommodations were excellent. I highly recommend this b&b to anyone. I loved it so much, I plan on returning in the spring or summer as my schedule allows.
4,8 sur octobre 14, 2014
We stayed at A Suite Escape over Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful time. JoAnne is a great host and a wonderful cook. Her breakfasts are something to look forward to each morning. (Our personal favorite - cinnamon roll pancakes!) Our suite was luxurious, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and included a large Jacuzzi tub. There's also a hot tub outside, right off the patio, overlooking lush Amish farmland. It's a pretty view and a pleasant way to enjoy breakfast (though if the wind is just right, you'll get a strong whiff of manure from the pasture). You can even hear the clop of the horses pulling Amish buggies down the street in the distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would go back should we ever visit rural Pennsylvania again.
4,8 sur octobre 07, 2014
First time staying in B&B. Great experience. Wont be the last time we stay at Suite Escape. Breakfast was wonderful. Thank you Joanne.
5 sur octobre 06, 2014
This was our second stay at A Suite Escape. Joanne is a wonderful hostess and person. Her cooking is fantastic. She goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need and are comfortable. We will definitely return for what will hopefully be a longer visit. You will not be disappointed with anything if you choose to stay there. Thank you again for a wonderful time.

My husband and I stayed here in the chocolate suite on 8/27/14 for the first time. It was amazing from the moment we pulled up and saw the what our view was from the back it was beautiful. Mountains and farms!!!! The breakfast was outstanding. We will definitely go again.

We live local and we stayed here at the inn out back for our honeymoon night and we loved it!
5 sur juillet 10, 2014
Our family stayed at a suite escape last July and we fell in love with the place! We rented out both suites so there was plenty of room. The breakfast provided by the martins was excellent and it made for a great start to our day. Having coffee out on the patio while looking out over the pastures was so relaxing. We loved it so much we are coming back again this year. The amenities are first class and the toiletries are all top notch. Do your self a favor and book one of the suites today. You're only regret will be not having stayed longer :)
5 sur juillet 09, 2014
Wonderfully located in East Earl, not far from Intercourse and other areas of interest in the Amish country lies this B&B, wonderfully kept by Joanne, very friendly and helpful. The room was more like a small apartment with all possible amenities. We were served a great breakfast in the morning and just wished we had time to stay longer.

5 sur mai 19, 2014
We just stayed at Suite Escape for our anniversary, it was relaxing and the breakfast both days were delicious. Joanne goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect. We love the rooms, have stayed in both before, they are very clean, the beds are so comfortable and sitting out on the patio looking at the farmland is peaceful. Would recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a nice place to stay.

This was our first stay, and we will definitely return! The Chocolate Suite was beautifully decorated, and every detail was perfect. The room, service, and breakfast were all a notch above any other B&B. Joanne was a perfect hostess and made wonderful recommendations for dining and sightseeing in the area. We are looking forward to future stays!
5 sur novembre 03, 2013
We do not exaggerate when we give 5 stars across the board. We have stayed at many B&Bs in the tri-state area, and this is by far one of our favorites now! Due to a no-show the owner was nice enough to let us have our choice of room after taking a look at both (it was a tough choice, they are both nice!), the service was great, and the food was delicious! If we are ever out this direction again, this would be our first choice for a place to stay! Thanks so much!
5 sur octobre 29, 2013
This B&B is just lovely. The setting is pure peace! The Martins were a delight--so helpful with area things-to-do (especially with all the detours we encountered) and they just made us feel at home. Immaculate housekeeping plus luscious linens and furnishings. I can't wait to come back and be able to recommend A Suite Escape to friends and family. Thank you! PS: the French Toast is Fab, just as I heard it was!
5 sur octobre 26, 2013
My husband and I stayed here for our 10th anniversary. It was beautiful! Words can't express how wonderful this place was. It went above and beyond what we were expecting. And the breakfasts were amazing. We will be going back again next year!

I booked this bed and breakfast for my boyfriends and my 1 year anniversary. Neither of us have ever stayed at a bed and breakfast before and I made a wonderful choice! Extremely clean and the breakfast Joann makes every morning is awesome! Still daydreaming of that French toast! She was also very very helpful in directing us on what to do, which amish markets are best and where to eat! Hopefully be back next year!

The views of the surrounding farmland were gorgeous. The innkeepers thought of every little detail to make our stay special. Breakfast was delicious - blueberry pancakes, eggs, and smoothies the first day, and pumpkin waffles, sausage, and apple crisp the second. We wouldn't change a thing about our stay there. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway!

I cannot say enough about this bed and breakfast. We return year after year for the delicious breakfast, spectacular view and genuine hospitality. I love the location as it is just a few miles from ShadyMaples smorgasbord. I reccomend going anytime of the year, but I especially love the 4th of July. The fireworks can be seen right from the patio. You can't go wrong with this one.

What a wonderful relaxing retreat for my husband and I. We stayed in the Chocolate Suite which was exquisite!! Big comfortable bed, fireplace and a bathroom that is to die for. There is not a detail that is left undone by the owners. The back patio is private with a fantastic view of farmland and we loved sitting out there early in the morning and late at night. Homemade breakfast of the most incredible Caramel French Toast you will ever eat. We hope to return soon and share this little gem with our family and friends!!

Everything about our stay here was amazing. After a quick tour and a couple decisions about breakfast we were left alone till the following morning. The room is exquisite and relaxing, it was everything I was expecting and more. Breakfast was delicious. My brief interaction with Stuart and Joanne Martin was pretty remarkable and about my only regret about staying there was that it was so brief. A Suite Escape is very appropriately named. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We both appreciate it immensely and will definitely be staying there again.

My wife and I spent a weekend in the Chamomile Suite and we could not ask for a better time. The room, the hosts, the location, and the breakfasts exceeded what we had hoped for. We needed some time together just to get away from our busy lives of having three children. We loved it there. It was definitely worth the extra money to get the bigger suite. The separate areas made the stay homier. We are definitely planning on going back the next chance we get. The only downside to the weekend was having to leave and head back home. Thank you Joanne and Stuart!!

It was perfect for our 2 year wedding anniversary. We stayed for two nights and breakfast was served right on time each morning. Both meals were delicious (the caramel french toast was our favorite!) Joanne was so nice and we can't wait to return again. We will absolutely be recommending this to everyone who needs a nice relaxing getaway.

The view from the patio was beautiful: pastures, Amish buggies passing by on the road. Joanne accomadated our special diet with the most amazing breakfast! This was a far better vacation than at a hotel. We will be staying there again, I'm sure. Everything that we could possible want was available right there. Thank you Joanne for a birthday to remember.

On arrival we were greeted warmly and shown to our room. We then had a tour and an explanation of the remote, tv, etc. The room was decorated beautifully and the bathroom was just as beautiful. The rooms were extremely clean and the food was delicious. Everything from start to finish was extraordinary. Would recommend this bed and breakfast.

This was our first time staying at a B&B but not our last. Joanne was such a great host. Breakfast was AMAZING!!! We stayed in the Chocolate Suite and could not have asked for better accomodations. She even has a Mini Keurig in the room. We will definitely be returning to A Suite Escape.

There are so many positive things I can say about this place, but simply put, it is the best bed and breakfast I have ever stayed at! Joanne is just so nice, friendly, and accommodating. I have been here numerous times; it is my home away from home! If I could live here, I would! There is a beautiful view of the farmlands and it is peacefully quiet and serene. Cows graze only a few feet from your door! There are two rooms available. The Chocolate Suite is large and romantic, beautifully decorated in red and black coloring. Available in this room is a large comfy bed, a flat screen tv and dvd player, a warm fireplace, a small mini-fridge, and an enormous whirlpool tub. The bathroom is beautiful and has all the bath accessories you will need (body lotions, bubble bath, shampoo made from goat's milk, etc.). The Chamomile Suite is larger and has a separate living room area and kitchen, complete with a large refrigerator, microwave, toaster, stove, and oven. The bedroom is quaint and separated from the rest of the house by beautiful french doors. Both rooms are always incredibly clean, to the point of being spotless. Joanne makes a wonderful breakfast: be sure to request her caramel french toast! I have never had a negative experience here. I strongly recommend you check it out: you won't regret it!

So sorry the T.V. didn't work. The control box stopped working while we were gone and my Innsitter didn't know what was wrong. We fixed it upon our return.

We have been coming to Suite Escape basically since it has opened and we absolutely adore it and it's owners! It's an amazingly incredible place to stay and it's the best experience I've ever had at a B&B or any place away from home! I can't even begin to sing it's praises enough! We just LOVE IT!!!!!!

The quaint setting in the heart of Lancaster County, Pa (horse and buggy country) makes this B&B a delightful place. The view overlooking the Weaverland valley is fantastic. You can see and hear the horse and buggy traffic on the country roads below. The owners are wonderful and go the "second mile" to make your stay memorable. The outdoor hot tub (open all year round) is lovely and the attention to detail makes one feel extremely pampered. The breakfasts are truly unique and delicious. The home made fare is Pa Dutch cooking at it's best. Freshly baked warm chocolate cake awaited us upon our arrival. Highly recommended to anyone who loves B&B's.

My girlfriend and I planned our trip to Amish Country as a little getaway, but it turned out to be so much more!! This was my firs time in a B&B, and now I can't imagine going anywhere else! The room, property, hot tub, and breakfast were perfect! We loved it all and can't wait to go back! Nearby is The Amish Experience Tour and the Plain and Fancy Farm Restaurant which I highly recommend!! Five Stars for this B&B!!

My husband and I wanted to experience a different getaway for our 10th anniversary. This is the first time, we ever stayed at a bed and breakfast but it won't be the last. Our experience was wonderful. First, we received a very warm welcome and tour of the room from Joanne. The Chocolate Suite was exceptionally clean, well decorated, and comfortable. The hot tub, overlooking the great and peaceful countryside, was an relaxing surpise. My husband is still raving about the amazing and delicious breakfast. The pumpkin waffles were out of this world. We don't know if we could ever stay in a hotel again. I would recommend this bed & breakfast to anyone wishing to feel pampered. We are hoping to return very soon.

We celebrated our 1 year annivesary at A Suite Escape and I could not have asked for a better place to go. This was our first time at a B&B and everything was so wonderful, we loved it!! The breakfast was so delicious and Joanne and Stuart were very nice. We will be back again!

My husband and myself stayed recently at the chocolate suite, it was just perfect. From the time we arrived it was just wonderful. Joanne is the best,she warm and very comforting. And what a great cook to boot. She has great taste for decor, our room was beatiful from top to bottom. We would recommed this place to any one. We will difently be back again some day.

We spent a week in East Earl, located in the heart of Lancaster County. The area is surrounded by Amish and Mennonite family farms and the sight of a horse drawn buggy along the winding roads is not uncommon. Shady Maple Market and Smorgasbord is a short distance away – an unbelievable culinary and shopping experience. Buggy rides, Lancaster, Hershey and Gettysburg are within easy driving distance. Stuart and Joanne were wonderful hosts. Our accommodations were immaculately clean, comfortable and spacious. For anyone making a trip to this area of Pennsylvania, the Suite Escape is a first rate choice; if we return to this area, we would not hesitate to return. Pam and Ed St. John Cheshire, MA

The Suite Escape was beautiful....room was awesome, clean and comfortable. The hot tub outside was such an added bonus, two person tub and shower was also an added bonus. The breakfast the next morning was outstanding. The owner makes you feel at home and comfortable the moment you check in...yet your privacy is never invaded. Great location and covienant to all local attractions. It was romantic, relaxing and enjoyable.

Overly obliging to make things as convenient as possible. We look forward to returning.

This was our second stay in three years. The only changes were improvements to the room i.e, larger TV's with satelite connection instead of cable. The food was great and it was the perfect overnight get away for us.

Our stay was wonderful and relaxing. It was the first time ever traveling that we actually felt as if we could sit back, relax and enjoy ourselves. On a scale from 1-10 I rate our experience an 11. The food and service were excellent. The room as beautiful as the pictures online.

Every year we enjoy coming to an immaculate room decorated in a contemporary style. From the small amenities of an in-room coffee pot to the out-of-this-world delicious breakfast to the hot tub to meeting the individual needs and requests of their guests, the innkeepers have really outdone themselves. This is our favorite place to come away and be pampered.

We could not wait to come back. The suite was as clean, comfy and beautiful as it gets. The hosts as very nice and make an amazing breakfast EVERY time! We can not wait for our 3rd stay. Our new favorite place to get away.

My husband and I took a short trip to PA (from NJ) and we stayed in the Chocolate Suite. It was all that you can ask for: clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and generally lovely. We'd love to rent out both suites next time with friends or family. The hot tub is, of course great, even in the freezing winter with a great view of the countryside.

This is truly a "suite escape". From the beautiful decor to the amazing breakfast to the warm hospitality from the inn keepers this is a great place to stay. Every detail is planned and thought out completely so you have everything you could ever think of or wish for available to you during your stay. You can't get this kind of attention at other places. The views are amazing, definitely have breakfast on the patio if the weather allows. We can't wait to go back!

This was a beautiful Bed & Breakfast. Our room "Chamomile" was absolutely amazing. The decor is very homey and comfortable. The views are breathtaking (especially at night while in the hot tub). It is very close to all the attractions we like to go to. The breakfast was outstanding (5 star). We enjoyed ours on the patio and was in awe. This is an amazing place and highly recommend it. We will definately return and we're spreading the word to friends. The Martin's are extremely nice people and are very in tune with guests needs.

My husband and I stayed here in March of 2008. It was for my birthday, and we stayed in the Chocolate Suite. We have been to many bed and breakfasts before. This one was the best ever. They owners spared no expense at making it a beautiful place inside and outside. The fireplace, the flat screen tv, the huge bathroom, the memory foam bed, everything was perfect, down to the very last detail. There was a fresh baked cake and hot apple cider waiting for us when we checked in. Breakfast was delicious and served in our room. The owners were very friendly and they run a lovely place. We will definately be going back there.

Kinsinger (Kenzinger, Kentzinger, Kinnzinger, Kinzinger, Kitzinger) family
Kinsinger (Kenzinger, Kentzinger, Kinnzinger, Kinzinger, Kitzinger) was a Swiss Mennonite family name occurring in the Palatinate Mennonite census lists under various spellings in 1717, 1724, 1743 and 1759. A Christian Kentzinger, whose name appeared in 1724 was the ancestor of those carrying this family name in South Germany. In the 1940 census of Mennonite families in South Germany, 14 Kensingers were members of the Sembach Mennonite Church. Peter Kinzing, the noted mechanic and clockmaker at Neuwied, Germany, whose collection was admired by Goethe, Lavater, and Basedow in 1774, no doubt belonged to this Kinzinger family.
In 1729 an Abraham Kensinger arrived in Philadelphia. Joseph Kensinger, a native of the Palatinate, came to America and settled in Butler County, Ohio, in 1826. He was ordained as minister in the Amish congregation in 1844 and served until his death in 1857. Peter Kinsinger, a distant relative of the above Joseph, born in the Palatinate in 1827, was ordained to the ministry of the Butler County, Ohio, Amish congregation in 1867 and served there until his death in 1888. Joseph Kinsinger from the Palatinate, a brother of the above Peter, settled in Butler County, Ohio, in 1850. He was ordained there in 1861 and served the Amish congregation until he moved to Wayne County, Indiana, in 1868.
Bertha Kinsinger Petter observed the sixtieth anniversary of her work among the Cheyenne Indians of Oklahoma and Wyoming in 1956. She was one of the first Mennonite women to graduate from a college (Wooster).
Members of the Butler County Kinsinger families moved to central Illinois as early as 1837. Here Michael Kinsinger was ordained to the ministry in 1862 and died in 1895. John Kinsinger from Butler County was ordained in 1881. Michael Kinsinger, an immigrant from Germany, was ordained in 1889 and died in 1912. Joseph Kinsinger was ordained in 1891 and died in 1925. These served in the Central Conference of Mennonites.
At least as early as 1842 Kinsinger families from Butler County, Ohio, were living in the Lee County, Iowa, Amish settlement. Later, members of these families moved to the Amish Mennonite settlement of Davis County, Iowa.
Jacob Kinsinger migrated to America from Hesse-Kassel, Germany, in 1832, and finally settled near Springs, Pennsylvania. A son, Peter Kinsinger, served as a bishop (1884-1923) in the Old Order Amish church of Johnson County, Iowa. His relatives and descendants are still found in this community. Other members of the family remain in the Grantsville, Maryland, Amish Mennonite community.

Quite a bit on the technical side today. Largely due to my having a 4 hour block in the afternoon. But, here's the thing: if I want to build/work to customize library apps, I need these blocks of time. Picking away at these projects for a half hour here or there doesn't work. Just before lunch, I had the opportunity to speak (with Terry Beaubois) to a group of school liaisions for the k-12 set. It was a Q & A session about new technologies that could be used in the classroom. uStream, iTunes for k-12, mobile devices were pieces of the discussion. It hardly gets any play above, but the MSU Herbarium project could be a winner. Rene Tanner has been working with the Bio department and pointing to our digitization services. Rene and I have an eye on some grant possibilities for the project and some early prototyping using Flickr as a data store. Great day overall. Some of the meetings tomorrow have been canceled. I should have some big chunks of time tomorrow as well. Looking forward to it.

The November 2011 issue of Foreign Policy carries an insightful article by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on America's policy and place in the Pacific and Asian regions. Just one excellent example of our engagement in the region was the nature and scope of U.S. participation in this year's Pacific Island Forum in Auckland, New Zealand.
The United States sent its largest and highest-level delegation ever to attend the PIF's Post-Forum Dialogue. Led by Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides, the contingent included senior officials from the Department of State, USAID, White House, Department of Commerce, Peace Corps, Department of Defense, and Coast Guard.
Playing key roles along with Deputy Secretary Nides were Assistant Secretary Kurt Campbell and the Governor of American Samoa, the Honorable Togiola Tulafono, as well my fellow American Ambassadors from Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Palau, and Australia. The delegation split into several teams based on subject matter focus, and almost two dozen of my colleagues from the Embassy and Consulate General provided support and squired the teams through more than 110 separate meetings with their counterparts from the Government of New Zealand and/or other PIF attendees.
Progress was made on a variety of matters including disaster preparedness, climate change, sustainable development, and fisheries. Several MOUs and agreements were signed. For example, we signed partnership agreements with the Secretariat of the Pacific Community and the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme to advance climate change adaptation in the Pacific Small Island States. Those agreements are part of a larger, two-year commitment to address climate change impact in the region.
We also signed ship-rider agreements with Nauru and Tuvalu, bringing the total number of those agreements in the Pacific to eight. Under those successful agreements, the U.S. Coast Guard extends the reach and power of island nation law enforcement officers by hosting them on our vessels and aircraft to patrol national Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs). Such joint activity is essential to the economic health as well as the security of partner nations, given the large amount of illegal commercial fishing in the EEZs.
Such collaboration is a natural part of our uninterrupted, generations-long engagement in the region. The United States is itself a Pacific nation with deep, enduring, and historic ties to our Pacific friends and neighbors. And that isn't going to change.

Julia Rocchi
Julia Rocchi is the managing editor for the National Trust. By day she wrangles content; by night (and weekends), she shops local, travels to story-rich places, and walks around looking up at buildings.
See the guy in the blue shorts in the video? That's Ben Jenkin (aka Jenx). He's 21-years-old and one of the founding athletes for the World Freerunning Parkour Federation. For those unfamiliar, Parkour is a physical activity and mental discipline that focuses on efficient movement around obstacles (with strong dashes of self-expression and personal philosophy mixed in).
Now see the building he's running through? That's Miami Marine Stadium, a Modernist icon and one of our National Treasures. Closed after Hurricane Andrew swept through the region, the Stadium once played host to boat races, concerts, and even Easter services. Its crowning feature (literally) is its 326-foot-long, fold-plate roof, the longest span of cantilevered concrete in the world when it was poured in 1963.
So what do these two have in common (besides this beautiful "urban ballet," as one poetic National Trust colleague put it)? Well, we decided to put that question directly to Ben - and learned that Parkour's focus on overcoming obstacles is a perfect match for people who want to save places.
How did you get involved with Parkour? What about the sport appeals to you?
It all started for me at the park after seeing some older guys flipping off the roof in the playground. From then on I was drawn in. I could already do some basic flips, which my dad had taught me. We started traveling around England meeting up with other people who also did Parkour to see what other locations England had to offer. The thing that appeals to me the most about Parkour is the ability it gives you to overcome fears, unlike other sports.
What are your favorite types of places to do Parkour? What have been some of your favorite locations?
My favorite types of places to do parkour are places with a lot of risk involved - for example, on top of a building, over a bridge, or just anywhere that gives me no other option to succeed or I will get hurt. I like the element of fear, and I feel that being scared is the best way to progress.
What were your first thoughts when you showed up at Miami Marine Stadium to shoot the video?
When I showed up to the Marine Stadium, my first thoughts were, "WOW, what an incredible building with a lot of potential." I couldn't wait to explore it and see what it had to offer.
What was it like to do Parkour there? What was your favorite part of the Stadium, and why?
One thing that was really good about training at the Marine Stadium was the fact it's like a little town with multiple training spots inside. It's pretty hard to pick a favorite part of the stadium when they are all so different and equally as good. However, I did like the roof; it's always nice to have such an incredible view whilst training.
In one of the closing shots, the camera is at your back as you look at the Miami skyline from the Stadium's roof. What was going through your head in that moment?
When I'm doing Parkour nothing really goes through my mind. I'm so focused on what I am doing at the time that all my attention is on the move itself. When I am looking into the distance for the camera shot, I am just simply admiring the incredible view.
What do you hope this video will teach people about a) Parkour and b) special places like Miami Marine Stadium?
[I hope it will] not so much teach, but [rather] inspire the people watching to go out and do Parkour. I [also] hope this video will help people become more aware of this amazing place and ultimately save it from being destroyed. Why would anybody want to destroy such a beautiful building with so much character?

"Downton Abbey" is set to get a visit from a famous opera singer in its new season. Kiri Te Kanawa, the renowned soprano from New Zealand, is scheduled to appear on the popular British period soap opera, shown in the U.S. on PBS.
Producers announced over the weekend that Te Kanawa will appear as a guest of the aristocratic Crawley household, and that viewers can expect her to sing during her appearance. Other new cast members for Season 4, which is currently filming, include veteran stage actress Harriet Walter -- who appeared to great acclaim in "Mary Stuart" on Broadway in 2009 -- and rising actor Tom Cullen.
Te Kanawa, 68, has performed with virtually all the major opera companies around the world, though she now concentrates on philanthropy and gives recitals and concerts. She was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame in 2009.
The singer spoke to the Times in 2009 about her career and personal life.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Two female Israeli diplomats will soon begin their mission in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, a Muslim state in central Asia.
The appointment marks two historic firsts:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Appointments Committee confirmed the departure of Shamir and Muallem on a mission that is considered both complex and not without it security threats, considering Uzbekistan's close proximity to Iran.
Almost 95 percent of Uzbekistan's citizens are Muslims. Nevertheless, the Muslim nation has readily confirmed the appointments of both Shamir and Muallem, considering them to be capable and accomplished diplomats.
Israel currently has 12 embassies around the world headed by women, and will soon add three more to that list.

HEFER VALLEY, Israel — The new crisp, acidic and mineral white from a high-end Israeli winery was aged for eight months — or, depending on how you look at it, at least 1,800 years.
The wine, called marawi and released last month by Recanati Winery, is the first commercially produced by Israel's growing modern industry from indigenous grapes. It grew out of a groundbreaking project at Ariel University in the occupied West Bank that aims to identify, through DNA testing — and recreate — ancient wines drunk by the likes of King David and Jesus Christ.
Eliyashiv Drori, the Ariel oenologist who heads the research, traces marawi—also called hamdani—and jandali grapes to A.D. 220 based on a reference in the Babylonian Talmud.
"All our scriptures are full with wine and with grapes — before the French were even thinking about making wine, we were exporting wine," he said. "We have a very ancient identity, and for me, reconstructing this identity is very important. For me, it's a matter of national pride."
The redevelopment of local varietals, however — like so many things in this contested land — is not free of political friction. It comes alongside contentious new labeling guidelines by the European Union requiring that wines from the West Bank and Golan Heights carry a label saying they were made in settlements. And, perhaps predictably, Palestinians have their own ownership claims on these grapes.
For Israeli winemakers, the search for old-new varietals is an opportunity to distinguish their wares in a competitive global marketplace where they harbor little hope of improving on, say, chardonnay from France. Archaeologists and geneticists are testing new methods for analyzing charred ancient seeds. In the endless struggle between Israelis and Palestinians, it is a quest to underscore Jewish roots in the holy land.
But Recanati is not the first to sell wine from these grapes. Cremisan, a small winery near Bethlehem where Palestinians partner with Italian monks, has been using hamdani, jandali and other local fruit since 2008.

Having your own business provides a reliable and sustainable income. This in turn means a person can buy or grow food, build a strong home and send their children to school. But often poor people do not have the money to start up their own small businesses, and with no assets or credit history, they can't get loans from banks. We are working in Ghana to break this cycle of poverty.
Each year we give 19,000 Ghanaians small loans to start or grow a business. That's 19,000 people with the means to make the money they need to improve their children's lives. We have been supporting poor people in Ghana since 2001, and four out of five of our clients are women.
We work in partnership with World Vision. Alongside healthcare, clean water access and education, our financial services offer communities the chance to grow and prosper. Together with World Vision, we provide a package of support to families who receive our loans.

Street Fighter vs. 'Breaking Bad' Pits Ryu Against Jesse
Not even Ryu's mastery of his Shotokan-style of martial arts can match up to the meth-induced awesomeness that is 'Breaking Bad.'
UK-based animator Junior Jesman has created a short, computer animated film paying tribute to both his favorite video game and his favorite series. Just when you thought that Capcom had officially bled the Street Fighter series dry of pairing its fighters against characters from other franchises, Jesman has put the champion of the original World Warrior tournament up against the go-to-guy of the biggest methamphetamine dealer in the western United States.
That's right, we have Ryu taking on Jesse Pinkman in an all-out brawl. The computer graphics Jesman included with his video look like a very authentic cross between the likes of LittleBigPlanet and 'Adventure Time.' At first, Ryu would seem like the obvious winner when taking on this scrawny drug peddler. Much like the show, Jesse is surprisingly resourceful, competing on fairly equal terms against Gouken's old pupil. Just when Ryu starts to crank up the voltage on his fireballs, Jesse's cancerous benefactor steps in to remind everyone who is the real star on 'Breaking Bad.'

Monday, 28 February 2011 06:39 PM
NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. has approved the first deep-water drilling permit in the Gulf of Mexico since last year's massive oil spill.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement announced Monday that it issued a permit to Noble Energy Inc. to continue work on a well about 70 miles (112 kilometers) southeast of Venice, Louisiana.
Noble started drilling the well four days before the Deepwater Horizon exploded. Drilling activity was suspended on June 12 under a moratorium the U.S. placed on exploration in waters deeper than 500 feet (152 meters).
No new deepwater permits had been issued since the moratorium was lifted in October. Regulators have been under pressure from the oil industry and some lawmakers to get drilling projects started again in the Gulf while ensuring that new safeguards were in place.
Director Michael Bromwich said that regulators approved the permit after the company demonstrated it is capable of containing a well blowout. Noble contracted with the Helix Well Containment Group to use its emergency capping stack to stop the flow of oil in case it loses control of a well.
Another emergency containment solution, offered by a consortium led by Exxon Mobil Corp., was announced earlier this month.
"We expect further deepwater permits to be approved in coming weeks and months based on the same process that led to the approval of this permit," Bromwich said.
The U.S. has approved 37 other drilling permits, all of them in shallow water, since the moratorium was lifted.

text: Cardinal Matt Holliday (C) celebrates with team after hitting a two-run home run against LA Dodgers [EPA]Very little went right for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game Four against the St Louis Cardinals on Tuesday, a pickoff of Nick Punto in the seventh inning proving to be one of their lowest points of the night.The Dodgers were trailing 4-2 when Punto doubled on a fly ball with one out but soon after, with his eyes firmly focused on the allure of third base, he was smartly picked off at second by reliever Carlos Martinez. We've got our work cut out for us. We've got to stay positive Nick Punto, LA Dodgers infielder That inning ended when Martinez retired Carl Crawford on a groundout to first baseman Matt Adams, and there was no way back from there as the Dodgers lost 4-2 to trail 3-1 in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series."I was a little too aggressive there, trying to anticipate and get to third base with less than two outs," a dejected Punto said while surrounded by reporters and television cameras in the Dodgers clubhouse."That was a lonely place to be and that was a lonely jog off the field. It was a big play in the game, kind of put us in a bad spot and we lost a little bit of momentum."We've got to bounce back. We've got all our (top) pitchers in line and we'll come back and try to get a win tomorrow," Punto said of Wednesday's Game Five, also in Los Angeles. "We've got our work cut out for us. We've got to stay positive."Asked whether he felt his pick-off by Martinez may have effectively decided Game Four, Punto replied: "Especially against that bull-pen, you can't give them any extra outs."The game gets short in the seventh, eighth and ninth inning with those guys. It's definitely not something I am very excited about. "Yadier Molina is a tremendous catcher and I know that Martinez can bounce a breaking ball. It would be nice to be on third base with less than two outs... but it was not a good baseball play." Big job, big gunsThe Dodgers had a final opportunity to score against the Cardinals on Tuesday with one runner on base in the bottom of the ninth but Yasiel Puig grounded into a double play. Moments later, Juan Uribe struck out swinging and the Dodgers had lost 4-2 to lie on the brink of elimination from the playoffs.Though the Dodgers now face the monumental task of winning the next three games, the last two to be played in St Louis if required, they at least have their top three pitchers in line to start."We're down 3-1, that's not a real secret, but the best thought I have is I've got one of the best pitchers in baseball (Zach Greinke) pitching tomorrow (Wednesday)," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said."If we come out here and play well tomorrow and get a win, I've probably got the best pitcher in baseball (Clayton Kershaw)pitching the next day."I don't want to be down but if you're going to be down, I like the guys we've got going the next three or four days."Rookie Ryu Hyun-jin, who outduelled Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright in Monday's Game Three won 3-1 by the Dodgers in Los Angeles, is slated to start in Game Seven, if the series gets that far.

Bulldogs, Seahawks Meet At 2:30 p.m.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale softball team's season-long, 10-game home stand continues on Wednesday when Wagner visits Dewitt Family Field. The doubleheader begins at 2:30 p.m.
The Bulldogs (7-21) will be trying to build some positive momentum for this weekend's four-game series with Harvard. Yale is coming off a big offensive performance in Saturday's doubleheader with Cornell. The Bulldogs banged out 24 hits in the two games.
No player in the Ivy League is as hot as Yale shortstop Meg Johnson, who was named to the league's Honor Roll on Tuesday after batting .526 (10-for-19) in six games last week. In Friday's doubleheader with Princeton, Johnson went 5-for-7 with three runs scored and an RBI. For the season, she is batting .322 and leads the team with 16 runs scored.
Christy Nelson also has been swinging the bat well. In the last eight games, she is hitting .385 which has raised her overall average to .300. Nelson leads the Bulldogs with eight doubles and her 14 RBI are second on the team.
Wagner (10-26) plays a doubleheader at Saint Peter's on Tuesday. Brittany Huss leads the team with a .333 batting average. Kelsey Parker and Kristen Matteoni share the team lead with four home runs. Parker also has 10 doubles. Olivia Zwick (3.22 ERA) and Samantha Bedker (5.85 ERA) have handled a majority of the pitching duties.
Last year on Staten Island, Yale and Wagner split a doubleheader. One of the highlights for the Bulldogs came when Jennifer Ong belted her 15th double of the season, which set a new single-season school record. Yale leads the all-time series with Wagner 8-4.
