Securing your data comes down to making both physical and virtual changes to your data center. From interior and exterior surveillance systems to software that detects system-level changes across remote and distributed locations, you must make use of any and all available strategies to secure your data from interior and exterior threats.
You need to upgrade your data center for a number of reasons, from reducing risk to increasing service availability. The recent attacks on financial services and online retailers give you another reason to rethink your data security measures. Learn how to implement sound ideas and strategies to protect your data and keep your data center secure against potential threats.
Control Physical Access
Although you have a lot of work to do in order to secure your data on the network side, you still have to control who has access to each system or the network layers. Use key cards to enter rooms, and supply badges for people with certain clearance permissions. Use a guard to escort visitors in the data center, and watch all activity using surveillance cameras. Also, limit your entry points into the building.
Protect the Data Center from the Inside and Out
Keep all data-sensitive servers behind locked cages. Construct a fence around the perimeter of the property with a guard on duty. Use trees, shrubs and other landscaping to hide the data center from the road. Remove the words "data center" off any signs. In addition, only use windows where appropriate. If you have windows in server areas, make sure to use laminated glass to prevent intruders from breaking in and stealing the equipment.
Prohibit Food in Secured Areas
Your data center needs a commons area where people can eat and drink without risking the computers and other sensitive equipment. Keep all drinks away from the servers, and mark all computer doors with "no food or drink" signs.
Secure Your Network
Once you tackle the physical security of your data center, you must focus on securing your network. Have the security administrators set strict rules for both incoming and outgoing traffic. Deploy certain systems, such as mail servers, to subnetworks that attach to virtual local-area networks. Use security monitors or data-leakage prevention monitors to watch traffic and look for bizarre activity.
Scan for Vulnerabilities
Use app-scanning tools to look for application vulnerabilities. Hackers consistently look for vulnerabilities that they can exploit, so you need to scan an app before publishing or using it over the network. In addition, scan any newly written source code for vulnerabilities or buffer overflows.
Protect the Data from a DDoS Attack
Firewalls alone do not always provide effective solutions for distributed denial-of-service attacks, or DDoS. In fact, many hackers trick the firewalls into allowing them inside a trusted client's firewall. Use a reliable application DDoS software to determine legitimate traffic from bogus attacks. Set up an Intrusion Prevention System, or IPS, in front of your data center assets to find malicious worms and prevent attacks.
Use a combination of firewalls, IPS and SSL devices to protect against hackers, and protect your network with security and data-leakage prevention monitors. Set up security around the perimeter of the building to prevent intruders, and install surveillance cameras to watch for internal and exterior sabotage. Restrict permissions to data-sensitive rooms, and make important rooms available only with a key card.
Never underestimate a hacker on the network or an intruder from stealing sensitive information from the data center. Take all precautions from the beginning of the center's construction, or upgrade the center according to the latest security standards. From guarded entryways to Intrusion Prevention Systems, you can secure your data and protect your business.

Did you see the preliminary findings from the Young Children, New Media & Libraries survey?
At the beginning of the month, Cen and Liz Mills–two of the folks involved in the Young Children, New Media & Libraries survey–shared some preliminary findings of the survey on the ALSC Blog. Some of the tidbits they shared include that 70% of survey respondents are using new media in their library programs for young children, and that 58% consult some sort of resource before acquiring any new media.
The full results of the survey, a joint effort between ALSC, the iSchool at the University of Washington, and Little eLit, will be published this spring in Children and Libraries. In the meantime, click over to the ALSC Blog post to see a few more early details from the survey.
What Makes an App "GOOD"? A brochure from Bethpage Public Library, by Linda Greenbaum
Incorporating digital technology into the library is a particular interest of mine, and I have been trying to keep up to date with the discussion around these issues, particularly as it relates to children. About a year ago, I started a list of resources as I learned about them, including Little eLit. We saw a need, as many other librarians have, among our patrons on how to effectively use devices with their children. We recently got two iPads to lend to patrons to use in the Childrens Room. They cannot be checked out to be used at home. We downloaded some apps used by other Nassau County (NY) libraries as well as others we identified.
As a further service to our patrons, we felt that having a list of reliable and impartial resources they can use to decide which apps they want their children to see and use was more effective than our recommending specific apps. We want to empower parents to learn how to chose what is best for their child as every child is different. When we purchased the iPads, we thought it would be the time to put the brochure together as a supplement along with our tablet policy. I did a more thorough search of additional online resources and completed the final copy for the brochure, which was then designed by my colleagues in the children's room.
We are happy to share our brochure with others!Linda Greenbaum is a librarian with Bethpage Public Library in Bethpage, New York.

Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site app review, by Awnali Mills
Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker and Tom Lichtenheld is a classic bedtime story. Now, it's a delightful children's bedtime app. Created by Oceanhouse Media and available on iTunes for $3.99, this book app has all the same elements children love plus movement, sound effects, and some delightful surprises.
The app brings the book's illustrations to life with small movements and sound effects, but not so much that they distract from the story. At the beginning, you are able to choose to read for yourself or have a narrator read to you. As the narrator reads, each word in the text is highlighted. A touch to anything on the screen brings up the noun for the object and the narrator says it, including any of the words in the text. Some of the object touches bring up not just the word, but an action as well: a vehicle rumbles, puddles splash, the bird sings. Great vocabulary shows up, with words like "spigot" and "cardinal." Lest you think that all this might be too exciting for little ones you're trying to get into bed, be assured that the narrator's voice is very soothing and the yawning and gentle snoring the vehicles were doing was enough to make me yawn in sympathy!
As much as I love this app for the story alone, the thing that tips it into fantastic is that it allows you to record your own voice reading it. I can just imagine grandparents reading this for grandchildren or a traveling or military parent being able to read their child to sleep from hundreds of miles away. The app also lets you email your recording. This record function is very easy to use. The info section on the home page tells you how to do it, but the interface is so simple that I didn't need instructions to figure it out. Even better, more than one person can record the story. The voice options screen, accessible through the little blue arrow on the center bottom, allows you to choose which narrator you'd like to hear from. The last person to record is the default for narration.
The only thing I disliked, and it was a preference really, were the home screen buttons for the Bookshelf, which offers an app to corral your OM apps, and Apps, which takes you to the app store. I'd have liked the ability to eliminate these from the screen.
I'm a cheapskate, and don't usually pay much for apps, but this is totally worth the $3.99 price tag, especially if you'd like someone far away to be able to read to your child each night.Awnali Mills works in the Children's Dept. of a public library and she gets the snot scared out of her by sudden loud sounds coming out of apps she's trying out.

Traditional Digital Musical Storytime, by Tom Schween
Digital technology is an exciting new tool in the magical storytime treasure chest that I may choose to take out and play with when the situation calls for it. I want to identify those opportunities and push storytime services forward into new territory.
My musical storytime today integrates edited soundtracks for each program, children's sing/move/play-alongs, musical transitions, background music, sound effects, instruments, and theatrical props. I utilize new media tools such as my iPhone, iTunes playlists, wired and wireless speaker devices (bluetooth), Garage Band sound effects, and apps. I am also very keen on finding ways to seamlessly use screens and integrate visual technology.
Stories, songs, and serving up make believe to make learning delightful for children during their wonder years is what storytime is all about (at its core). I am conscious not to make the technology I use the focus. When technology interferes with keeping listeners engaged, it does them a disservice.
New media provides us with new vessels for tried and true early-literacy storytime practices, like reading-aloud, singing-along, and felt-board storytelling. Using technology also has the added benefit of cultivating family computer and media literacy. Storytime, with the addition of new audio-visual layers, has the potential to simultaneously cultivate multiple literacies through the imaginative delivery of both traditional and digital materials.
21st century technology not only offers exciting new options for my storytime repertoire, it's also a powerful way to promote the benefits of library storytime and at-home reading routines to caregivers. Now is the time to utilize new media tools (such as ebooks, apps, audio playlists, and digital audio and video channels) to expand storytime into digital native turf.
In digital storytime, I can still root today's young children in tradition. But by looking beyond storytime technophobia, I believe I may reach and teach them even better while cultivating the next generation of storytime devotees (who will undoubtedly take storytime to even greater heights).Over the past eight years, Tom Schween has delivered more than a thousand musical storytime programs to pre-k classrooms across the San Francisco Bay Area. He is a graduate student studying the crossroads of children's librarianship and technology at San Jose State University. Tom began volunteering as a certified story reader with Oakland Public Library's "Books for Wider Horizons" in 2006. He became a licensed Kindermusik educator in 2009, currently works as a principle backstage technician at Steve Silver's Beach Blanket Babylon in San Francisco, and wrote a free online guide to storytime called the Magic Carpet Handbook at www.storytimewow.com/preschool-storytime. ~*~ Little eLit is a collaborative think tank of professionals thinking about the topic of young children, new media, and libraries.

My Very Hungry Caterpillar: A Review, by Maggie Kutsunis
App: My Very Hungry Caterpillar
Developer: StoryToys Entertainment Limited
App Store: $3.99 as of 10/30/14
Google Play: not available as of 10/30/14
In Brief:
- Recommended for: toddlers, preschoolers
- Reading required: no
- Highlight: promotes active play as a part of everyday routine, beautiful clear graphics with white space, open-ended game play, familiar character
- Problem area(s): high-level fine motor skills are required for some game objectives, which can make this game frustrating for young toddlers
Carle's art translates into 3D computerized imagery quite well. Trees, fruit, flower pots, and toys are rendered against a background of white space that makes it easy to focus on the open-ended gameplay. There isn't any directly educational content, e.g., 1-2-3s and shapes and sorting, but the objectives require fine motor and critical thinking skills that would challenge 2 year olds and be just right up until about kindergarten (every child is unique/your mileage may vary).
Every in-game day, you are in charge of feeding the caterpillar an increasing amount of fruits and playing with it until both health bars (one for feeding, one for playtime) are full. The concept of a video game health bar will be familiar to older children, but little ones may need a bit of instruction. When both bars are full, you can put the caterpillar to bed, where it will sleep for a few seconds and then wake up for another day with its health bars empty again. After a few days have passed, the caterpillar will form a chrysalis and change into a magnificent butterfly – then you start again with a new caterpillar.
One of the active play scenes involves putting the caterpillar on a little boat and floating around with some rubber ducks. I found the boat very difficult to control and it was almost impossible to land it on the shore and then get the caterpillar to jump off – it's unclear whether this is user error (hey, I'm not perfect) or just bad design, but it looks to me like a stopping point for child players.

Osmo at the Library, by Rachel Sharpe
A few months ago, someone posted about the Osmo that was ready for pre-order. I convinced my library's Friends to purchase one and have been anxiously awaiting a chance to debut it in a program. (The Osmo is awesome, and I love it!) One of the reasons we bought it is so that we can use it at our annual math nights and literacy nights that we host for our local Title I elementary schools.
There are three apps for the Osmo right now. One of the apps, Words, has kids competing or working together to spell words based on the picture on the screen. Luckily, right before our literacy night, the developers released an update that allowed users to create a custom word list. What better way to promote literacy and the library than with a customized library-themed word list? I spent an afternoon running around the library taking pictures to build the list, and I'm really happy with the results.
At the night of the program, I set up the Osmo station, just one iPad with two sets of letters and the Osmo. Kids had to take turns using the Osmo and could play two words in a row before they had to switch. If no one was waiting, they could keep playing.
Some kids were really competitive, but it was really wonderful and heartwarming to see some of the older kids helping the younger ones spell the words. If a child hadn't gotten a right letter in a while, some of the older ones would hand them a letter and show them what to do. I didn't even have to say anything!
While the kids were playing, I had a chance to speak (well, shout, really) with parents about screen time and what resources the library offers for them.
The whole experience went so well that we're bringing the iPad and Osmo back for Math Night in the spring, and the local teachers all want one for their classrooms. All in all, it was a huge success!Rachel Sharpe

WePublish app review, by Claudia Haines
Two of the six early literacy skills I focus on in storytime are print awareness and print motivation. Like librarians everywhere, as we read, play, sing, talk, and write I want kids to see that print is everywhere and understand how a book works. I also want to get them hooked on stories, books and reading.
Along with print books, I'm always looking for early literacy boosting apps and other digital media that I can review, use in programs, and recommend to families. So when I had the opportunity to review the WePublish app recently, I was interested to see what it was all about. Oftentimes the way to connect a young child with reading is too share with them books that reflect their experience. So the idea behind WePublish, an easy to use app that helps families or multiple children make their own book together, intrigued me.
WePublish is an app that lets kids and adults design and publish an eight page book, creating a new story or retelling a favorite. The app is based on digital collage, an interesting choice.
When creating a new book, each of the eight black pages appears separately. While the bookmaker works on each page independently, all of the pages can be viewed in preview or imposition view with a tap of a button. Design tools include images of common textures that can be cropped and snipped to make shapes, along with a drawing tool (black or white) and multiple fonts. The combination of the new images, text, and accents blends to form a collage on each page. Instead of a bookmaking tool where the sky's the limit, the few design tools in the WePublish app help keep things simple, allowing young book creators to focus on the elements of the story instead of the various tools.
Book creators can use the device's camera to capture new images for the texture library. Kids and adults can find interesting textures, snap a picture, and then cut or crop the image to turn the texture of grass into a tree, for example, using one finger and budding fine motor skills. Kids can also make artwork to include in the book, again using the device's camera and photo library. The artwork can be used as a texture to further manipulate with the design tools, or included as is. The finished book can be printed on A3 or A4 size paper or shared via email (via a parental gate). I used legal size paper (similar to A3) and it worked fine.
This app would fit nicely in an early literacy program for adults and kids that offers enough time to learn how the app works and time to create a book. I'm planning such a program for later this winter. Kids love telling stories and this app helps them share that story in a new way–in a book of their own making. An adult working with one or more young children would make a nice bookmaking team, each member adding to the collaborative project.
While English is the only language currently included, a wordless book could easily be created and have significant value for pre-readers and those who speak a language other than English. Creating images that prompt an oral story can strengthen bonds between family members and build a child's narrative skills.
I, and a couple other reviewers, did find that editing is limited after a book has been created and stored in the app's library. Imported images can be moved around, but not deleted. Drawn lines couldn't be deleted or moved and text cannot be deleted by tapping on it. I was able to slide the text and a texture image off the page that I didn't want and they didn't appear in printing, but I figured that out through trial and error. In other cases I had to delete the page's entire content and start over.
Tips, sample books, and a short video on how to fold your printed, finished book (origami!) are included in the app. The app is free of in-app ads and purchases.Claudia Haines, Little eLit Curation Coordinator

Sago Mini Monsters, an app review by Carissa Christner
Sago Mini has created many delightful toy-apps for young children. Last week, I had an opportunity to use Sago Mini Monsters in storytime at my library and everyone loved it! Gameplay is simple:
1. Drag a monster silhouette up from the primordial goo at the bottom of the screen.
2. Decorate the monster using your finger to draw in one of 5 colors.
3. Tap on the checkmark to tell the game you're done drawing on the monster and your monster will grow eyes, horns and a mouth (although if you don't like those, you can pluck them off and different features will grow in their place).
4. Feed the monster foods that pop up from the goo (could be cake, could be a boot…)
5. After the monster has eaten, its teeth look quite dirty, so it's time to brush!
6. Pull more accessories up from the goo (a hat! a bandaid! a lightning bolt! the options are vast.) and finish designing your monster.
7. Take a picture (or don't) and tap on the checkmark when you're ready to meet a new monster.
I love this app for the open-ended (but not overwhelmingly option-heavy) art play and for the silliness factor that makes users of all ages giggle. The storytime kids loved telling me how to design the monster (What color should we choose next? Should we draw spots? Stripes? Squiggles? Where should we put this mustache? Do you like these eyeballs?) and they loved watching it eat crazy food and brushing its teeth. One mom told me that her daughter loves to use the app and then go into the bathroom and brush her own teeth. Every time. Hooray for the sneaky health lesson!
For a limited time, it's free in the app store (all decked out for Halloween!), so grab it while you can. Read about the other monster apps I used in my storytime here. Make your own Sago Mini Monster finger puppets by downloading the pdf's here (then printing them at 25% and adding a strip of paper at the bottom to wrap around your finger).

WASHINGTON – Mitt Romney clinched the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday with a win in the Texas primary, a triumph of endurance for a candidate who came up short four years ago and had to fight hard this year as voters flirted with a carousel of GOP rivals.
Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Donald Trump – all of them sat atop the Republican field at some point. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann peaked for a short time, too. But Romney outlasted them all, even as some GOP voters and tea party backers questioned his conservative credentials.
According to the Associated Press count, Romney surpassed the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination Tuesday by winning at least 88 delegates in the Texas primary. He has 1,174 delegates.
The former Massachusetts governor has reached the nomination milestone with a steady message of concern about the U.S. economy, a campaign organization that dwarfed those of his GOP foes and a fundraising operation second only to that of his Democratic opponent in the general election, President Obama.
Our party has come together with the goal of putting the failures of the last three-and-a-half years behind us, Romney said in a statement. I have no illusions about the difficulties of the task before us. But whatever challenges lie ahead, we will settle for nothing less than getting America back on the path to full employment and prosperity.
Romney must now fire up conservatives who still doubt him while persuading swing voters that he can do a better job fixing the nation's struggling economy than Obama. In Obama, he faces a well-funded candidate with a proven campaign team in an election that will be heavily influenced by the economy.
It's these economic indicators that will more or less trump any good or bad that Romney potentially got out of primary season, said Josh Putnam, an assistant political science professor at Davidson College who writes the political blog Frontloading HQ.
Republicans won't officially nominate Romney until late August at the GOP national convention in Tampa, Fla.
Romney, 65, is clinching the presidential nomination later in the calendar than any recent Republican candidate – but not quite as late as Obama in 2008. Obama clinched the Democratic nomination on June 3, 2008, at the end of an epic primary battle with Hillary Rodham Clinton. Four years ago, John McCain reached the threshold on March 4, after Romney had dropped out of the race about a month earlier.
This year's primary fight was extended by a back-loaded primary calendar, new GOP rules that generally awarded fewer delegates for winning a state and a Republican electorate that built up several other candidates before settling on Romney.
Romney has been in general-election mode for weeks, largely ignoring the primaries since his competitors dropped out or stopped campaigning.

bedIt's a stabbing sightLetting in the morning with a crack of the shadesAnd you forget you could page-turn horizonsWaft through free territoryWhere acres are just bedsMade of fresh landWrinkles in the riverTell remembered timesAbout old languages that could make you cryAbout soft beds that carve away canyonsA speaking voice lifted from the earthBegging you to remember

evergreenUnder the cedar boughs forming scars against the skyI found them: brilliant, ghost-like, humble creaturesTimid like the greying clouds fearful of weepingDrinking from a hollow in the evergreenThey scattered as they saw meLeaving a lone shade lying decimated in the earthly compostFading like sand pulled flat by the tideI knew this was how they would come to their endThe waning gibbous cannot guide them homeAs there is no return for those forgottenSo they rest and worship the dark crescent cup until she fills againThirsting for the stagnant puddles of the evergreen

Carlos de Seixas
~ Person
José António Carlos de Seixas, (11 June 1704 – 25 August 1742), was a Portuguese composer, the son of the cathedral organist, Francisco Vaz and Marcelina Nunes.
Seixas was born in Coimbra. He succeeded his father as organist in 1718 at age fourteen, and two years later moved to Lisbon, where he gave harpsichord lessons and met Domenico Scarlatti who was living in Portugal from 1721 to 1728. It is claimed that when the king's son, Dom António, arranged for Scarlatti to give Seixas harpsichord lessons, Scarlatti replied that it was Seixas who should give him lessons. Seixas later became organist in the court chapel and Lisbon cathedral as well as court composer. He was knighted in 1738 by John V of Portugal and died in Lisbon in 1742.
Seixas was influenced by the German Empfindsamer Stil (literally 'sensitive style'). Much of his work was destroyed in the earthquake that devastated Lisbon in 1755. Only three orchestral pieces and around 100 keyboard sonatas survived, plus a handful of choral works for liturgical use (much more conservative than what one would expect from his instrumental music).
Macario Santiago Kastner published collections of the sonatas in Portugaliae Musica.Continue reading at Wikipedia... Wikipedia content provided under the terms of the Creative Commons BY-SA license

McClatchy nails Brad Schlozman on partisan hiring tactics:
Congressional investigators are beginning to focus on accusations that a top civil rights official at the Justice Department illegally hired lawyers based on their political affiliations, especially for sensitive voting rights jobs.
Two former department lawyers told McClatchy Newspapers that Bradley Schlozman, a senior civil rights official, told them in early 2005, after spotting mention of their Republican affiliations on their job applications, to delete those references and resubmit their resumes. Both attorneys were hired.
One of them, Ty Clevenger, said: "He wanted to make it look like it was apolitical . . . "
Clevenger also recalled once passing on to Schlozman the name of a friend from Stanford as a possible hire. "Schlozman called me up and asked me something to the effect of, `Is he one of us?'" Clevenger said. "He wanted to know what the guy's partisan credentials were."
Remember, the Justice Department has now launched a probe of Monica Goodling on charges that she was engaged in hiring on the basis of party affiliation (indeed, it seems that hiring and firing on the basis of partisan loyalty was her job). But at this point the evidence against against Paul J. McNulty and Brad Schlozman, who are not targets of any probe, is stronger. These facts provide plenty of reason to question the bona fides of the current probe.

Energy & Environmental Design
This new center was designed for world class energy savings, minimal environment impact, and conservation of resources. Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED) is a set of sustainable principles that can be used to ensure new buildings are designed and constructed with relevant environmental considerations. The center has been certified to the LEED Gold level which is the second highest certification awarded by the LEED organization.
The Viridian West Jordan Library & Event Center energy production, its energy consumption, the weather at the center and many other parameters can be viewed at the online smart building kiosk. Many of the design features that make this center a model for energy & environmental design can be viewed in the "green features" section of the kiosk. Check it out.
There are numerous reasons to build a "green building." Environmental benefits include the enhancement and protection of ecosystems and biodiversity, the protection of air and water quality, the reduction of solid waste and the conservation of natural resources. Health and community benefits include improving air, thermal and acoustic environments, enhancing occupant comfort and health, minimizing strain on local infrastructure and contributing to overall quality of life. There are also significant economic benefits like reducing operating costs, enhancing building and land values, improving productivity and learning, and optimizing life-cycle economic performance.
Blue Sky
Salt Lake County Library is proud to partner with Rocky Mountain Power for the Blue Sky renewable energy program which generates electricity with little or no emissions. It effectively uses resources that replenish themselves naturally, like wind, solar and biomass. The use of renewable energy at the Viridian West Jordan Library & Event Center, Herriman, Magna and Millcreek Libraries have had the equivalent environmental benefit of hundreds of thousands of miles not driven or thousands of trees planted. Thank you for supporting your community library and helping us help the environment of the Salt Lake valley.

The new center opened in June, 2012.

Score from 1268 reviews Very good
Staff was very helpful. View fantastic and spa comfortable.
Room service menu limited
Great facilities. However hotel lobby on all levels are currently being renovated.
Wifi in rooms was poor. Don't bother paying for premium wifi as it was slower than the 24 hr free.
The hotel had the most spectacular views of the city below and had balconies connected to the room with amazing views of the city below. The staff were amazing. You could walk into the Forrest behind the hotel. Incredible natural beauty
The only thing I didn't like was that it was somewhat inconvenient as far as its location. There was nothing around the hotel other than homes because it was high up on a hill away from the city. To get anywhere you needed to take a taxi to and from the hotel.
Quiet, serene setting, gourmet food, comfy bed, big room, nice bathroom and we loved the balcony. Wifi was easy to use. Sadly it was foggy the whole time we were there but I hear it has a lovely view
Great view, clean, pleasant staff
Far from public transport
Hotel has beautiful view of the city, a mountain walking route, and a nice pool with a view. The restaurant also has really good food.
The bathroom is very small.
Friendly staff, very humble and helpful. Had a view of Freiburg which was beautiful day and night. Pool n sauna were a nice way to relax in the evening. Breaky was average priced but huge selection. From here u get comfort and your only a short drive from town, happy to be out of hustle and bustle.
This is me nit picking, but a gym would be nice or free access to a local one. Otherwise great!
Beautiful view (need to order the room with the view). Good breakfast (+17 euro per person) Close to city center. Friendly staff.
Hard to find location with no GPS. Small room and very small bathroom. Hard to wash child. Provided bed for the child was intended for an infant while I mentioned that my child is almost 4.
Views, staff helpfulness and food.
Spacious room, very comfortable bed
Mediocre service
everything is ok
the location is not easy to access without car and car park is limitted if arrived late
I stayed here for a two day conference, which had lunches and dinner supplied by the hotel. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was excellent. Rooms are well decorated and comfortable, and most have a great view.
It takes 30 minutes to walk from the city centre, with no bus connection. As another reviewer mentioned, the road is narrow and probably dangerous especially at night. You really need to take a taxi, which makes it inconvenient to see the town. Some people were kept awake by sheep.
The room is comfortable and clean. The restaurant is good. The balcony is lovely and can enjoy the whole city view
Position, ambience and relaxed feel of the hotel
Restaurant!! Overpriced and quality was not good. Euro 37 for sea bass which was overcooked!!
Fantastic views over Frieburg. Nicely finished rooms with a lovely terrace area. Nice swimming pool and solarium area. Good public areas and a cracking restaurant.
No complimentary water/tea//coffee in rooms.
The spa stayed open till really late so you could chill out after a long day walking around the city and before dinner...... the views from the spa are spectacular.
I really liked the guy at the bar. He was more than just nice. Perfect service, perfect in everything. Also the staff at the reception was very nice. I would recomment that hotel to all of my friends. We already plan our next trip to freiburg!
The wireless connection is a bit poor.
Comfort and more comfort
Really need a car to get there but hotel provided a superbly accurate route map for walking back to the city
Nice view from restaurant
Breakfast too expensive Free wifi way too slow Distance to Freiburg city - you need to take car or taxi, walking isn't really an option and there is no public transport around Breakfast too expensive Many small things that I value when travelling were not so good: taking shower in bath tub isn't comfortable, lack of privacy due to fact that one can walk from one room to another quite easily and there are no lace curtains, wifi isn't fast enough.
This was a wonderful experience. The hotel staff were welcoming and very helpful. The hotel restaurant, Chez Eric, Is top notch and Eric, himself, makes you feel welcome. The location isn't for everyone as it is above the city, on a hill abutting the Black Forest. For us, it was wonderful as we could start our day with a beautiful hike in the forest right outside our room before the sumptuous breakfast. If you don't want to drive to the city, you take an easy trail of about 20 minutes to a bus that takes you into town. The rooms are well laid-out and the beds are very comfortable. All the rooms have beautiful city views and terraces with retractable awnings.
The only thing I would change is the lighting. It is too dim.
Pretty far from the centre of the city
Views were fantastic! We had a superior room which was just that, it was spotless and very modern! The facilities were great, we spent some time in the pool and sauna and also dined at Chez Eric which was a delightful experience!
The walk into town is about an hour, but very nice through the forest. Advice taxi back unless your a rambler!
The room we were given was furthur from the lift and not nice view. Even though we booked the room without breakfast, they showed the room rate adding breakfast price when checking in.
no food to be ordered late
All rooms and the spa had been refurbished since I was there early 2013. They are great. We were lucky we called in the morning, confirming late check-in: it turned out the hotel-staff had cancelled our stay without our confirmation. The staff did their best to accommodate for their mistake though, and were able to fulfil our initial request, including adjacent rooms
The hotel is not well place for city-visit. You definitely need a car.

Earlier report indicated exploratory talks regarding former Raiders QB bust. Terry McCormick
The New York Jets apparently are like the other 31 teams in the NFL after all.
After a report surfaced this morning that the Jets had held some exploratory talks of bringing in former No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell as potential competition at quarterback for Mark Sanchez, the Jets have said there is no truth to that. Conor Orr of the Newark Star-Ledger originally reported the interest in Russell, and then back tracked.
Russell, who washed out with the Oakland Raiders due to being out of shape and uncommitted, has said he would like an opportunity to perhaps revive his football career. But that appears a long shot.
As for the Jets, Ryan Leaf and Akili Smith might be available.

AP - Germany's finance minister said Saturday he wants his deputy to take on a key position at the European Central Bank and will make proposals for the governance of the eurozone next week.
[AP] - Germany's finance minister said Saturday he wants his deputy to take on a key position at the European Central Bank and will make proposals for the governance of the eurozone next week.
By Peter Boone and Simon Johnson
France has encouraged Spain to apply for aid as soon as possible. In Germany, Wolfgang Schäuble wants anything but a timely application.
Note that unless a country requests a bailout, and agrees to terms set by the IMF (something Spain does not want to do), the entire OMT plan of Draghi is useless.
Finally, at the latest EU finance meeting on Saturday, battles between eurozone and non-eurozone countries erupted over the banking union.
MARSEILLE, France (AP) -- Germany's finance minister said Saturday he wants his long-serving deputy to succeed Juergen Stark on the executive board of the European Central Bank....
George Orlwell coined the term doublethink in his classic book 1984. Doublethink is the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
Have you listened to the conflicted beliefs coming from Spain lately?
Conflicted Beliefs
Japan's Nikkei has been on a surge in recent months, and there are even signs now that consumer confidence is starting to spike. This is all because the new administration has promised to get the Bank of Japan using aggressive monetary policy to stimulate the economy. So the crucial decision that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe must take is: Choosing the next leader of the Bank of Japan.
FOR almost eight years Jean-Claude Trichet has been the public face of the euro and a reassuring presence to steady nerves during the financial crisis of 2007-09 and the euro area's sovereign-debt tribulations over the past year. But the French president of the European Central Bank (ECB) will step down at the end of October. A behind-the-scenes struggle between the 17 euro-area states over who will succeed him in the world's second most important central-banking job burst into the open this week as the German front-runner ruled himself out as a candidate in surreal fashion.
