The accompanying Notes are an integral part of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of March 31, 2012, Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc. ("Nexstar") owned, operated, programmed or provided sales and other services to 55 television stations and 11 digital multi-cast channels, including those owned by Mission Broadcasting, Inc. ("Mission"), in 32 markets in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Texas, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, New York, Florida, Wisconsin and Michigan. The stations are affiliates of NBC (12 stations), CBS (11 stations), ABC (11 stations), FOX (11 stations), MyNetworkTV (5 stations and one digital multi-cast channel), The CW (2 stations), and Bounce TV (10 digital multi-cast channels) and three are independent. Through various local service agreements, Nexstar provided sales, programming and other services to 19 stations and four digital multi-cast channels owned and/or operated by independent third parties. Nexstar operates in one reportable television broadcasting segment. The economic characteristics, services, production process, customer type and distribution methods for Nexstar's operations are substantially similar and are therefore aggregated as a single reportable segment.
Principles of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Nexstar and its subsidiaries. Also included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the accounts of the independently-owned variable interest entity ("VIE"), Mission (Nexstar and Mission are collectively referred to as the "Company"). Where the assets of Mission are not available to be used to settle the obligations of Nexstar, they are presented as the assets of Mission on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Conversely, where the creditors of Mission do not have recourse to the general credit of Nexstar, the related liabilities are presented as the liabilities of Mission on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Nexstar management evaluates each arrangement that may include variable interests and determines the need to consolidate an entity where it determines Nexstar is the primary beneficiary of a VIE in accordance with related authoritative literature and interpretive guidance.
All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nexstar is highly leveraged, which makes it vulnerable to changes in general economic conditions. Nexstar's ability to repay or refinance its debt will depend on, among other things, financial, business, market, competitive and other conditions, many of which are beyond Nexstar's control.
Interim Financial Statements
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the financial information included herein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Nexstar's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The balance sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
Mission is included in these Consolidated Financial Statements because Nexstar is deemed under U.S. GAAP to have a controlling financial interest in Mission as a VIE for financial reporting purposes as a result of (1) local service agreements Nexstar has with the Mission stations, (2) Nexstar's guarantee of the obligations incurred under Mission's senior secured credit facility (see Note 5), (3) Nexstar having power over significant activities affecting Mission's economic performance, including budgeting for advertising revenue, advertising and hiring and firing of sales force personnel and (4) purchase options granted by Mission which permit Nexstar to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of each Mission station, subject to Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") consent. The purchase options are freely exercisable or assignable by Nexstar without consent or approval by Mission for consideration equal to the greater of (1) seven times the station's cash flow, as defined in the option agreement, less the amount of its indebtedness, as defined in the option agreement, or (2) the amount of its indebtedness. Additionally, on November 29, 2011, Mission granted Nexstar an option to purchase any or all of Mission's stock, subject to FCC consent, for a price equal to the pro rata portion of the greater of (1) five times the stations' cash flow, as defined in the agreement, reduced by the amount of indebtedness, as defined in the agreement, or (2) $100,000. These option agreements (which expire on various dates between 2012 and 2021) are freely exercisable or assignable by Nexstar without consent or approval by Mission. The Company expects these option agreements to be renewed upon expiration. As of March 31, 2012, the assets of Mission consisted of current assets of $4.0 million (excluding broadcast rights and amounts due from Nexstar), broadcast rights of $3.9 million, FCC licenses of $21.9 million, goodwill of $18.7 million, other intangible assets of $14.0 million, property and equipment of $23.5 million and other noncurrent assets of $1.2 million. Substantially all of Mission's assets, except for its FCC licenses, collateralize its secured debt obligation. See Note 10 for a presentation of condensed consolidating financial information of the Company, which includes the accounts of Mission.
Nexstar has entered into local service agreements with Mission to provide sales and operating services to the Mission stations. The following table summarizes the various local service agreements Nexstar had in effect with Mission as of March 31, 2012:
Nexstar's ability to receive cash from Mission is governed by these local service agreements. Under the local service agreements, Nexstar has received substantially all of Mission's available cash, after satisfaction of operating costs and debt obligations. Nexstar anticipates it will continue to receive substantially all of Mission's available cash, after satisfaction of operating costs and debt obligations. In compliance with FCC regulations for both Nexstar and Mission, Mission maintains complete responsibility for and control over programming, finances, personnel and operations of its stations.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company may determine that a station is a VIE as a result of local service agreements entered into with the owner-operator of the station. The term local service agreements generally refers to a contract between two separately owned television stations serving the same market, whereby the owner-operator of one station contracts with the owner-operator of the other station to provide it with administrative, sales and other services required for the operation of its station. Nevertheless, the owner-operator of each station retains control and responsibility for the operation of its station, including ultimate responsibility over all programming broadcast on its station. In addition to those with Mission, Nexstar has VIEs in connection with local service agreements entered into with stations as discussed below.
Nexstar has determined that it has variable interests in WYZZ, the FOX affiliate in Peoria, Illinois and WUHF, the FOX affiliate in Rochester, New York, each owned by a subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcasting Group, Inc. ("Sinclair"), as a result of outsourcing agreements it has entered into with Sinclair. Nexstar also has determined that it has a variable interest in WHP, the CBS affiliate in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which is owned by Newport Television License, LLC ("Newport"), as a result of Nexstar becoming successor-in-interest to a TBA entered into by a former owner of WLYH. Nexstar has evaluated its arrangements with Sinclair and Newport and has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the variable interests because it does not have the ultimate power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the stations, including developing the annual operating budget, programming and oversight and control of sales management personnel. Therefore, Nexstar has not consolidated these stations under authoritative guidance related to the consolidation of variable interest entities. Under the outsourcing agreements with Sinclair, Nexstar pays for certain operating expenses of WYZZ and WUHF, and therefore may have unlimited exposure to any potential operating losses. Nexstar's management believes that Nexstar's minimum exposure to loss under the Sinclair outsourcing agreements consists of the fees paid to Sinclair. Additionally, Nexstar indemnifies the owners of WHP, WYZZ and WUHF from and against all liability and claims arising out of or resulting from its activities, acts or omissions in connection with the agreements. The maximum potential amount of future payments Nexstar could be required to make for such indemnification is undeterminable at this time. Nexstar made payments to Sinclair under the outsourcing agreements of $1.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Nexstar has a balance in accounts payable to Sinclair for fees under these arrangements in the amount of $0.6 million as of March 31, 2012. Nexstar also has receivables in the amount of $2.4 million for advertising aired on these two stations. As of December 31, 2011, Nexstar had a balance in accounts payable to Sinclair for fees under these arrangements of $0.7 million and receivables for advertising aired on these two stations of $2.7 million.
Nexstar has also determined that it had a variable interest in Four Points Media Group Holdings, LLC ("Four Points") due to a management services agreement between the two companies. Four Points owned and operated seven individual stations in four markets. Under this agreement, Nexstar managed the stations for Four Points but did not have ultimate control over the policies or operations of the stations. Nexstar had evaluated the business arrangement with Four Points and concluded that Nexstar was not the primary beneficiary of the variable interest because it did not have the ultimate power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of the stations including developing the annual operating budget, setting advertising rates, programming and oversight and control of employees responsible for carrying out business activities of the stations. Therefore, Nexstar did not consolidate Four Points' financial results into its own. In September 2011, Four Points entered into a definitive agreement to sell its stations to Sinclair. The sale closed on January 3, 2012, terminating the management services agreement, whereby Nexstar received a payment of $6.7 million, including the outstanding accounts receivable balance of $4.8 million and a contract termination fee of $1.9 million recorded in net revenue. As of March 31, 2012, all amounts due from Four Points had been received.
Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes the following categories to classify the valuation methodologies for fair values of financial assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The Company invests in short-term interest bearing obligations with original maturities less than 90 days, primarily money market funds. The Company does not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $0.1 million invested in money market investments, which are carried at fair value. The Company has determined the fair value of the money market investment using methods that fall within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, broadcast rights payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. See Note 5 for fair value disclosures related to the Company's debt.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares are calculated using the treasury stock method. They consist of stock options outstanding during the period and reflect the potential dilution that could occur if common stock were issued upon exercise of stock options. The following table shows the amounts used in computing the Company's diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):
The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and stock options with potentially dilutive effect were excluded from the diluted shares calculation as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the following weighted average options were outstanding (in thousands):
Basis of Presentation
Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss) or stockholders' deficit as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 clarifies certain topics regarding fair value measurement and adds some disclosures for fair value measurements. The update was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2012. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (Topic 350) ("ASU 2011-08"). ASU 2011-08 allows companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the annual two-step goodwill impairment test. The update is effective for the Company's goodwill impairment testing performed in the fourth quarter of 2012, but early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Intangible assets subject to amortization consisted of the following (in thousands):
Total amortization expense from definite-lived intangibles was $5.6 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The following table presents the Company's estimate of amortization expense for the remainder of 2012, each of the five succeeding years ended December 31 and thereafter for definite-lived intangibles assets as of March 31, 2012 (in thousands):
The amounts recorded to goodwill and FCC licenses were as follows (in thousands):
The Company expenses as incurred any costs to renew or extend its FCC licenses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization, but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. As of March 31, 2012, the Company did not identify any events that would trigger an impairment assessment.
Accrued expenses consisted of the following (in thousands):
Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):
2012 Transactions
In March 2012, Nexstar Broadcasting and Mission each paid the contractual maturities under their senior secured credit facilities, for a total payment of $0.4 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, Nexstar repaid a net amount of $17.6 million on the Company's revolving loans, resulting in a consolidated revolving loan balance of $6.7 million as of March 31, 2012.
On April 12, 2012, Nexstar Broadcasting elected to redeem $34.0 million of the $37.9 million outstanding of its 7% Notes. The redemption price is the outstanding principal amount of notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the scheduled redemption date of May 11, 2012. The Company expects to record approximately $0.5 million of loss on extinguishment of debt related to this transaction. Nexstar intends to fund the redemption of the notes from cash on hand, borrowings under its revolving credit facility or a combination thereof.
Unused Commitments and Borrowing Availability
Nexstar Broadcasting and Mission had $68.3 million of total unused revolving loan commitments under their respective senior secured credit facilities, all of which was available for borrowing, based on the covenant calculations as of March 31, 2012. Nexstar Broadcasting's ability to access funds under the Nexstar Facility depends, in part, on its compliance with certain financial covenants.
Any additional drawings under senior secured credit facilities, such as the redemption of $34.0 million of the 7% Notes mentioned above, will reduce the Company's future borrowing capacity and the amount of total unused revolving loan commitments.
Debt Covenants
The Nexstar Broadcasting senior secured credit facility agreement contains covenants which require the Company to comply with certain financial covenant ratios, including (1) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio of Nexstar Broadcasting and Mission of 7.50 to 1.00 at March 31, 2012, (2) a maximum consolidated first lien indebtedness ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 at any time and (3) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00 at any time. The covenants, which are formally calculated on a quarterly basis, are based on the combined results of Nexstar Broadcasting and Mission. Mission's senior secured credit agreement does not contain financial covenant ratio requirements, but does provide for default in the event Nexstar does not comply with all covenants contained in its senior secured credit facility agreement. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants.
Collateralization and Guarantees of Debt
Nexstar Broadcasting's and Mission's senior secured credit facilities are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all the combined assets, excluding FCC licenses, of Nexstar and Mission. Nexstar and its subsidiaries guarantee full payment of all obligations incurred under the Mission senior secured credit facility in the event of Mission's default. Similarly, Mission is a guarantor of the Nexstar Broadcasting senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated notes issued by Nexstar Broadcasting.
Fair Value of Debt
The aggregate carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's debt were as follows (in thousands):
On March 31, 2008, Nexstar signed a ten year agreement for national sales representation with two units of Katz Television Group, a subsidiary of Katz Media Group ("Katz"), transferring 24 stations in 14 of its markets from Petry Television Inc. ("Petry") and Blair Television Inc. ("Blair"). Nexstar, Blair, Petry and Katz entered into a termination and mutual release agreement under which Blair agreed to release Nexstar from its future contractual obligations in exchange for payments totaling $8.0 million. Katz is making the payments on behalf of Nexstar as an inducement for Nexstar to enter into the long-term contract with Katz. A liability of $7.2 million, representing the present value of the payments Katz is making to Blair, was recorded and is being recognized as a non-cash reduction to operating expenses over the term of the agreement with Katz. Effective May 1, 2009, Nexstar signed another agreement to transfer the remaining Nexstar stations to Katz and its related companies. Moving these contracts resulted in Nexstar cancelling multiple contracts with Blair. As a result, Blair sued the Company for additional termination fees. Katz indemnified the Company for all expenses related to the settlement and defense of this lawsuit. The lawsuit was settled effective May 7, 2010. Termination of these contracts resulted in an additional liability of $0.2 million, which is being recognized over the remaining contract term with Katz.
As of March 31, 2012, $0.7 million of this liability was included in other current liabilities and $4.2 million was included in deferred representation fee incentive in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recognized $0.2 million of these incentives as a reduction in selling, general, and administrative expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
The Company's provision for income taxes is primarily comprised of deferred income taxes resulting from the amortization of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for income tax purposes which are not amortized for financial reporting purposes. No benefit has been recognized for the Company's taxable losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 as the utilization of such losses is not more likely than not to be realized in the foreseeable future.
The deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets do not reverse on a scheduled basis and are not used to support the realization of deferred tax assets. The Company's deferred tax assets before valuation allowance primarily result from federal and state net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"). The Company's NOLs are available to reduce future taxable income if utilized before their expiration. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets as it does not believe they are more likely than not to be realized through future taxable earnings.
Television broadcasting is subject to the jurisdiction of the FCC under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act"). The Communications Act prohibits the operation of television broadcasting stations except under a license issued by the FCC, and empowers the FCC, among other things, to issue, revoke, and modify broadcasting licenses, determine the location of television stations, regulate the equipment used by television stations, adopt regulations to carry out the provisions of the Communications Act and impose penalties for the violation of such regulations. The FCC's ongoing rule making proceedings could have a significant future impact on the television industry and on the operation of the Company's stations and the stations to which it provides services. In addition, the U.S. Congress may act to amend the Communications Act or adopt other legislation in a manner that could impact the Company's stations, the stations to which it provides services and the television broadcast industry in general.
The FCC has adopted rules with respect to the final conversion of existing low power and television translator stations to digital operations. The FCC has established a September 1, 2015 deadline by which low power and television translator stations must cease analog operations, and low power and television translator stations operating on channels 52-69 were required to cease operation on those channels by December 31, 2011. The Company holds three low power analog station licenses and 13 analog television translator station licenses, three of which, although they were required to cease analog operations by December 31, 2011, have been granted temporary authority to continue analog operations until June 19, 2012, with the remainder to transition to digital operations by September 1, 2015.
Media Ownership
In 2006, the FCC initiated a rulemaking proceeding to review all of its media ownership rules, as required by the Communications Act. The FCC considered rules relating to ownership of two or more TV stations in a market, ownership of local TV and radio stations by daily newspapers in the same market, cross-ownership of local TV and radio stations, and changes to how the national TV ownership limits are calculated. In February 2008, the FCC adopted modest changes to its newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership rule while retaining the rest of its ownership rules then currently in effect. On July 7, 2011, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit vacated the FCC's changes to its newspaper/ broadcast cross-ownership rule while upholding the FCC's retention of its other media ownership rules. A petition for Supreme Court review of the Third Circuit's decision is pending.
The FCC is required to review its media ownership rules every four years and to eliminate those rules it finds no longer serve the "public interest, convenience and necessity." During 2009, the FCC held a series of hearings designed to evaluate possible changes to its rules. In May 2010, the FCC formally initiated its 2010 review of its media ownership rules with the issuance of a Notice of Inquiry (NOI). Numerous parties filed comments and reply comments in response to the NOI. In June and July 2011, the FCC released to the public eleven economic studies related to its media ownership rules. In December 2011, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to seek comment on specific proposed changes to its ownership rules. Among the specific changes proposed in the NPRM are (1) elimination of the contour overlap provision of the local television ownership rule (making the rule entirely DMA-based), (2) elimination of the radio/television cross-ownership rule, and (3) modest relaxation of the newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership rule along the lines of the changes in the 2006 proceeding that the court vacated. The NPRM also seeks comment on shared services agreements (SSAs) and other joint operating arrangements between television stations, and whether such agreements should be considered attributable. Comments and reply comments on the NPRM were filed in March and April 2012. The Company cannot predict what rules the FCC will adopt or when they will be adopted.
The FCC has initiated various proceedings to assess the availability of spectrum to meet future wireless broadband needs. The FCC's March 2010 "National Broadband Plan" recommends the reallocation of 120 megahertz of the spectrum currently used for broadcast television for wireless broadband use. The FCC has thus far adopted rules permitting television stations to share a single 6 megahertz channel and requested comment on proposals that include, among other things, whether to add new frequency allocations in the television bands for licensed fixed and mobile wireless uses and whether to implement technical rule modifications to improve the viability of certain channels that are underutilized by digital television stations. In February 2012, Congress adopted legislation authorizing the FCC to conduct an incentive auction whereby television broadcasters could voluntarily relinquish all or part of their spectrum in exchange for consideration. A reallocation of television spectrum for wireless broadband use would likely involve a "repacking" of the television broadcast band, which would require some television stations to change channel or otherwise modify their technical facilities. Future steps to reallocate television spectrum to broadband use may be to the detriment of the Company's investment in digital facilities, could require substantial additional investment to continue current operations, and may require viewers to invest in additional equipment or subscription services to continue receiving broadcast television signals. The Company cannot predict the timing or results of television spectrum reallocation efforts or their impact to its business.
Retransmission Consent
On March 3, 2011, the FCC initiated a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to reexamine its rules (i) governing the requirements for good faith negotiations between multichannel video program distributors (MVPDs) and broadcasters, including implementing a prohibition on one station negotiating retransmission consent terms for another station under a local service agreement; (ii) for providing advance notice to consumers in the event of dispute; and (iii) to extend certain cable-only obligations to all MVPDs. The FCC has also asked for comment on eliminating the network non-duplication and syndicated exclusivity protection rules, which may permit MVPDs to import out-of-market television stations during a retransmission consent dispute. If the FCC prohibits joint negotiations or modifies the network non-duplication and syndicated exclusivity protection rules, such changes likely would affect the Company's ability to sustain its current level of retransmission consent revenues or grow such revenues in the future and could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company cannot predict the resolution of the proposals or their impact to its business.
Guarantee of Mission Debt
Nexstar and its subsidiaries guarantee full payment of all obligations incurred under Mission's senior secured credit facility. In the event that Mission is unable to repay amounts due, Nexstar will be obligated to repay such amounts. The maximum potential amount of future payments that Nexstar would be required to make under this guarantee would be generally limited to the amount of borrowings outstanding. As of March 31, 2012, Mission had a maximum commitment of $48.3 million under its senior secured credit facility, of which $45.0 million of debt was outstanding.
Indemnification Obligations
In connection with certain agreements into which the Company enters in the normal course of its business, including local service agreements, business acquisitions and borrowing arrangements, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which the Company agrees to indemnify the third party to such arrangement from losses, claims and damages incurred by the indemnified party for certain events as defined within the particular contract. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses and the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification arrangements may be unlimited. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial and the Company has not incurred significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements.
From time to time, the Company is involved with claims that arise out of the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management, any resulting liability with respect to these claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, each of its 100%, directly or indirectly, owned subsidiaries and its consolidated VIE. This information is presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures pursuant to Regulation S-X Rule 3-10 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, "Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered."
The Nexstar column presents the parent company's financial information (not including any subsidiaries). The Nexstar Holdings column presents its financial information (not including any subsidiaries). The Nexstar Broadcasting column presents its financial information. The Mission column presents the financial information of Mission, an entity which Nexstar Broadcasting is required to consolidate as a VIE (see Note 2).

OpenSSH 5.6 Released into the Wild
The secure communication solution gets an upgrade.
OpenSSH or OpenBSD Secure Shell got an update to 5.6. The project features a slew of new features and bug fixes, but maintains compatibility with SSH protocol 1.3, 1.5, and 2.0.
New to 5.6 is a ControlPersist option to ssh_config, which automatically launches a background ssh multiplex master during connection. SSH now logs hostname and address concted to LogLevel=verbose after a successful authentication. This is done to manage phishing attacks by servers with trusted keys that accept authentication silently and automatically before presenting falsified password/passphrase prompts.
5.6 also allows ssh-keygent to import and export PEM and PKCS#8 keys. Debug messages can be queued, and remote forwarding with dynamic port allocation. SSHd now supports indirection in matching principal names listed in certificates.
For a full list of new features and bug fixes, visit www.openssh.com/txt/release-5.6.

quote:(CNSNews.com) - During Barack Obama's first term as president of the United States, the debt of the federal government increased by $5.8 trillion, which exceeds the combined debt accumulated under all presidents from George Washington through Bill Clinton. The new federal debt accumulated in Obama's first term equaled approximately $50,521 for each of household in the country.
quote:I don't care, Obama is awesome.
quote:Tiger n Miami AU83
quote:Obama has the four largest yearly deficits in US history. The next two belong to FDR.
quote:Rather than pointing fingers maybe there should be a discussion on how WE can reduce OUR debt?
quote:Pretty easy to divide the national debt by the # of households in the U.S. and make it look shocking.

Google Now made its debut at Google I/O yesterday and it was praised massively by the audience at the conference and by tech news publications from all over.
What Google Now does is that it takes voice search to the next level. Google have had voice search even way before Apple came along with Siri. Siri just made it better, well now Google have come back and made it even better than that.
Voice search on Android is now a hell of a lot faster than anything out there for mobile phones at the moment. The video below is taken directly from Google I/O and is definitely worth watching.
The more you search the more Google Now learns about you. It then builds these searches into "cards" which stay in the app. It'll update these cards however often it needs to. For example if you asked for the score of your favourite football team, it'll learn which is your favourite team and create it into a card. It'll then update that card regularly with the latest results.
It doesn't just stop there though, it also takes advantage of maps, traffic, places, appointments, flight times and a lot more.
It's a massive move forward with the way voice search has gone and shows that mobile phones are able to be even more helpful in our daily life. Google Now is coming with Android Jelly Bean 4.1 so you will need that version of Android to use it.
Google also released a new tablet, check that out here – Google Nexus 7


text: Rafting in Banffand Lake Louise Rafting in Banff and Lake LouiseStaying in Banff and looking for whitewater rafting close to town? We suggest whitewater rafting on the mighty Kicking Horse River or family style rafting on the Kootenay River near Radium Hot Springs. Kootenay River Runners, the folks who introduced Rafting in the Rockies in 1976, offer a variety of river trips, and two of "our" rivers are easily accessible from the Banff and Lake Louise corridor. Straight west on Highway #1, only 1 hour and 15 minutes from Banff and just 45 minutes from Lake Louise, we offer rafting the mighty Kicking Horse River. Renowned for superior white water, the Kicking Horse is by far the best white water trip in the Rockies. Our trips meet and depart from our fully serviced facility Basecamp. It's easy to get to from the Banff area and the perfect starting point for this ultimate white water adventure. Junior rafters need to be 12 years of age and weigh in at 90 pounds to qualify. The entire trip takes about 4 hours, so you'll be back in Banff in plenty of time for dinner. The Kootenay is a delightful class 2-3 rafting river, perfect for families with younger children (our minimum age requirement is 5 years), or for rafters looking to emerge themselves in the remote Rocky Mountain Wilderness. If you have junior rafters younger than 12, or want a less rambunctious trip through supreme Rocky Mountain wilderness we suggest rafting the Kootenay River. The Kootenay trips leave from Radium Hot Springs, a scenic 1.5 hour drive from Banff or Lake Louise. Complete your day with a soak and swim at the Radium Hot Springs ( not the town), located just a few km from our office. And for the grande finale, you'll be heading back to Banff in the early evening; the very best time for viewing the abundant wildlife of the Banff and Kootenay National Parks! You can have it all. Enjoy the amenities of the Banff area and spend a day rafting the Kootenay or Kicking Horse Rivers! Call or email for more details. |

7. TAKE A TRAIN FROM THE AIRPORT INTO TOWN, THEN A TAXI TO YOUR HOTEL. Most European cities have quick, frequent train service from the airport to the center of town. If you're traveling light—in terms of both luggage and people—you might want to elude both a high cab fare and traffic jams by taking the train to the city center, then grabbing a taxi from there. Trying to take the subway from the train station to your hotel can mean a lot of lugging bags up and down stairs—like those above, at the Trocadero Métro station.

Captain Bligh: Now don't mistake me. I'm not advising cruelty or brutality with no purpose. My point is that cruelty with purpose is not cruelty – it's efficiency. Then a man will never disobey once he's watched his mate's backbone laid bare. He'll see the flesh jump, hear the whistle of the whip for the rest of his life.
Captain Bligh:
Let's make it perfectly clear Coach John Harbaugh is now undisputedly Captain of this Ship.
Courtesy of the FCA and Catholic Review.org
For over 1 hour last night, Super Bowl winning Coach John Harbaugh took his audience through the journey to the Super Bowl Title from his perspective. It was just an amazing ride delivered by a master orator. The benefactor of the night was the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Some of the highlights:
"The days are long but the years are shorter" was a recurrent theme throughout the speech. Harbaugh related the total frustration of the defeat against New England the year before and how proud he was of the way the team handled it. The ultimate irony was that 1 year later, the Ravens were back in the exact same situation. This time there was no doubt in his mind the Ravens would be victorious. However after a poorly played, too conservative 1st half against the Brady bunch, Harbaugh and Joe Caldwell agreed it was time to let Joe Flacco loose.The rest is history.
One thing was very apparent to me, that was Harbaugh's ultimate respect for Anquan Boldin, with whom Harbaugh would exchange uplifting texts throughout the run. I just have a feeling , He will find a way to keep Q around.
Everything I ever thought about Harbaugh was echoed last night. He again reiterated his love for Baltimore and how the title belonged to the city. When I first met John 4 years ago , his theme was how he felt he had let the city down. That feeling will never exist again.
Harbaugh spoke of the entire tragedy of the death of Torrey's brother and how the team rallied around Torrey.
Terrapin nation was well represented with Jeremy Sieverts and former Softball All America player Amber Jackson being 2 of the speakers.
Harbaugh made it abundantly clear how much faith play a huge role in the title run. The address ended on a typical Harbaugh family note, a request to attack every day at work like it was your first and bring everything you have to the love of your family.
It is impossible not to really like John Harbaugh!!!!!
Ravens coach John Harbaugh will be inducted into the "Cradle of Coaches" association at his alma mater Miami (Ohio) University next year.
Harbaugh's team won the Super Bowl, beating his brother Jim's San Francisco 49ers 34-31 for the Ravens' second NFL title. He graduated from the southwest Ohio school in 1984.
A bronze, life-size statue of Harbaugh will be added to the Cradle of Coaches display on a plaza outside Yager Stadium early next year, joining the statues of Paul Brown, Bo Schembechler, Weeb Ewbank, Ara Parseghian, Earl "Red" Blaik, Carm Cozza, Paul Dietzel and John Pont.
The statues honor Miami graduates who have been named a coach of the year at the college or professional level, won a national college or NFL title, or been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame or the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"To me, there is no greater recognition in coaching," Harbaugh said in a statement. "To be included with these great men is something only dreamed about."
from espn.com
So the game is over and I have to endure the chants for 2 1/2 hours such as USA, USA at Alex, We won't miss you, Don't come back, ACC ACC, Not our rivals, and all the while Coach K is urging the crowd to continue. I hang around for the Coach K presser where the Carolina press guys lobbed softballs and then I asked very simply "Coach it seems like the fans are ecstatic to be rid of Maryland–how do you feel about it?" (The following audio should be started around the 3:40 mark to hear the question and answer). Memo-42 Obviously I must have touched a nerve. But I wonder how Coach K really feels. Maybe he is happy that the Terps will soon be gone.
At halftime I overheard two Carolina writers talking about what a bad decision it was to move to the BIG, and how Terrapin nation was solidly against the move. Needless to say, I told these guys they were clueless and how great the BIG was going to be for the Terps. They called me part of a lunatic fringe. I then brought up that Maryland was always the stepchild of the ACC and prime example was the ACC Tournament being in Greensboro 90% of the time. They called it a neutral court to which the laughter it brought to me almost made me sick.
As I left Cameron Indoor my only thought was Sayonara.
Turge was pretty content with the Terps effort and offensive performance today. No doubt Duke played excellently. Quinn Cook played as well as I have seen him play and the freshman Sulaimon was outstanding with 9-13 shooting for 25 points. Seth Curry definitely seemed to be hobbling at some points during the game.However the Terps hung with the Devils for most of the game until Mason Plumlee got hot and the rest was history.
Dez started off with 7 points and 5 bounds by the 4 minute break but quieted down afterwards. Charles Mitchell is back scoring 13 on 5-8 shooting. Alex had a quiet 8 point 10 rebound game. He was only able to get 6 shots in 34 minutes. But he did have 1 magnificent only early in the game only to be matched by a reverse dunk by Plumlee late in the game.
Seth Allen was suspended for the first half for what Turgeon referred to as a minor infraction. He was no factor in the game.
2 things were consistent with the Terps effort today: they won the rounding battle 43-34 and again were plaqued by 14 turnovers. Duke shot a high 52.% from the field including 11-22 from the 3 line.
Nick struggled a bit at the point having trouble with Quinn Cook's pressure. PeShon just cannot get a break as a couple of his layup attempts teased the bucket but fell off the rim. It breaks my heart to see him struggling with his game because he is such a good kid.
Believe it or not there were lots of purple jerseys throughout the arena. Must have been Duke fans from Baltimore.
I am about to watch the game again so I will add to the blog tomorrow if I notice anything. The Terps (15-5 overall and 3-4 in the ACC) are now desperate for a win Tuesday night at FSU.
Well Justin Tucker played well. Tandon Doss scored his first TD. Suggs returned. We were up 3-0. That's it— and now for the rest of the story
Starting with the Cleveland game the Ravens bear no resemblance of the team that has been a force in the NFL basically every year since 2000 save 1 or 2 seasons
We stand today at 5-2, still in 1st place in the suddenly weak AFC North. But something is missing. Every Ravens fan has watched this team since the Cleveland game and realized this is not Ravens football that is being played. The offense now has been horrendous 2 of the last 4 weeks, not ironically on the road in KC and Houston. Joe was not himself today overthrowing, and tossing right into uplifted blocking arms. It's funny we started the game using #27 and it was effective. Somehow after we fell behind 9-3, our best player disappeared from the offense. Why? This game was not a blowout until the offense turned the ball over and over.
Defensively, things have been falling apart since the Cleveland game. The only reason Houston didn't gain 500 yards was they stopped trying after 3 quarters. From A to Z on defense there are problems. Are we bringing Suggs back too soon.? Why is the offense so great at home and so bad on the road? Did Lee Evans drop signal the beginning of the end of an era?
John Harbaugh is a magnificent coach and an even better guy. His first 4 years here have been magical. But now is his first real test as a head coach. Many, many head coaches are unable to turn around these situations. We have been spoiled by the team's successes. Just being in the playoffs 4 consecutive years is good enough for me and most Ravens fans. Harbaugh has 2 weeks to get this ship straight. 1-5 Cleveland is coming up next ON THE ROAD–just the kind of game that has troubled the Ravens. Maybe it's the personnel, maybe it's the play calling, certainly the defense is a large part of the problem, I know it's not Flacco, but now is the time for the Coach to take control. I BELIEVE HE WILL GET THE JOB DONE.
117,000 fans have responded to an ESPN poll regarding whether or not the Spygate stained the Patriots Super Bowl Wins and the 54% agree. There is fine line in a football game where the slightest edge can turn the tide in a close game. The PATRIOTS cheated plain and simple. Yes, Evans dropped the ball but that doesn't change what happened when Eric Mangini spilled the beans.

I have developed an image and video capturing application for my N95, by using the Camera Application Engine API example given at :
I have given camera index as :
The camera index is 0 for primary (back) camera and 1 for the secondary (front) camera.Code:void CCamEngine::ConstructL(TInt aCameraIndex) { iCaeEngine=CCaeEngine::NewL(aCameraIndex); iCaeEngine->SetCamAppEngineObserver(*this); iCaeEngine->InitL(); }
It works for :
1. Video Capturing from primary camera
2. Video Capturing from secondary camera
3. Image Capturing from primary camera
But it does not work for :

I have changed nothing else. My N95 default camera application can capture image from secondary camera. But my application stucks when I call :

CRESCENT CITY, Calif. — More than a week after the tsunami devastated Crescent City's harbor, volunteers say they want to do their part to help rebuild from the disaster.
On Saturday, hundreds of volunteers armed with garbage bags combed the beaches of Crescent City, cleaning up whatever debris they could find.
The waves from the tsunami on March 11 had washed countless amounts of debris to shore. Volunteers said they found pieces of dock, windows from boats, garbage, and a large amount of Styrofoam and cement from the harbor.
Organizers say they were impressed by the turnout.
"It says a lot for our community," said Jay Sarina. "When something like this magnitude occurs, and this is not the first time, every time something like this has occurred people have come out to help. And they're a very resilient group, the entire community."

Help with butter cream!
Hello! I am still new to the baking world, and still learning. What I wanted to know was, how can you keep the butter cream from getting too soft, so I can pipe. Every time I make mine up, it's too soft to pipe, it drips out of the bag, and then I put it in the fridge to harden up, and then that gets too hard, and then too soft, and really shinny. Is there something I"m doing wrong? I use the usual stick butter, unsalted, confectioners sugar, and vanilla, some times a little bit of milk, but only about a max of 3 tbsp, per 2 cup frosting. Thanks for any help! :)

The Flaming Lips Made A Companion Piece To Pink Floyd's DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. April Fool's?
By Matt Grosinger on April 2, 2014
Whoa. Seriously? Hard to say, but… maybe. In what appears to be an elaborate April Fool's prank coordinated with Funny Or Die this past weekend, Wayne Coyne and and the rest of the Flaming Lips crew shared Flaming Side of the Moon, an ambient piece that supposedly complements Pink Floyd's 1973 LP, Dark Side of the Moon.
Jokes notwithstanding, this isn't the first time the Lips have flirted with a Pink Floyd fascination. In 2009 they joined forces with Henry Rollins, Stardeath and White Dwarfs, and Peaches to record their own version of Dark Side of the Moon. So maybe everybody got Punk'd, but we still have 43 minutes of new music, and that is seriously awesome.

One of the most beloved and recognizable icons from the 1960s and 1970s, Lava Lite's 1953 Lava lamp brings the groovy gizmo back to the forefront of trendy home decor. The iconic lamp's shape stays true to the original's geometric design, while its white-wax/blue-liquid color scheme bubbles its hypnotizing splendor behind the glass for a whole new generation. Furthermore, a silver base anchors the unit with a sturdy foundation, while a matching tip infuses it with a cool sense of symmetry. Powered with a standard electrical cord and lit with a 15-watt bulb (included), the lamp's psychedelic--yet strikingly soothing--glow gently illuminates any study, den, dorm, office, or bedroom. Better yet, pair it with a disco ball and some hip records to drum up a downright dynamite party. A funky, radical gift for a retro-loving family member or friend, the 12-ounce Lava lamp stands 11-1/2 inches tall and carries a 90-day limited warranty.
The original manufacturer of Lava lamps, Lava Light eagerly accommodates the longings of lava-lamp enthusiasts with a continual offering of new lamps--everything from glittered and patterned varieties to cool and quirky color schemes, color-phasing vortex styles, and more. Lava Lite offers five height options--with the 10-inch Accent on the small end and the colossal 4-foot Colossus towering above the rest. Lava Lite's selection of replacement bulbs, electrical cords, globes, and beaded globe wraps help keep each light running smoothly and looking good.

What happened to our good 'ol fashioned sense of sarcasm?Submitted by Guest5005 (not verified) on Wed, 11/16/2011 - 3:35pm.
Obviously the dude writing about the literacy rates of criminals was being facetious. I applaud their knack for satire, because obviously if someone were on campus with gun in hand and the mindset to spill the blood of the innocent, the last thing they would be thinking about is whether or not they should have a gun on campus. I'm sorry that everyone did not have the wit to recognize good humor...and Guest83747...I don't even have words for you, only God knows how you might interpret them, well done. »

A boomer with a view
PUBLISHED: 03 Aug 2012 00:08:53 | UPDATED: 03 Aug 2012 00:33:02PUBLISHED: 03 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 03 Aug 2012John Roskam
Treasurer Wayne Swan was born in 1954. He's a typical baby boomer with typical baby boomer memories. In his John Button Lecture in Melbourne on Wednesday evening Swan reminisced about university parties, Bob Dylan and Gough Whitlam.
Some would call Swan's generation lucky. Others would call it spoilt. For many baby boomers, the biggest decision they ever had to make was whether to go backpacking in Europe or Asia. Swan and his generation got the welfare state, free tertiary education, and defined benefit superannuation schemes.
The baby boomers didn't earn these things – they were given to them. Baby boomers have a sense of entitlement unequalled in generations that went before them or since.
Baby boomer thinking about the respective roles of the private sector and government was neatly summed up a fortnight ago by United States President Barack Obama. "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." That "somebody else" is of course government.
Swan boasted on Wednesday night how the Labor government had expanded the economy by almost 10 per cent since the global financial crisis. The role of the private sector didn't rate a mention.
Swan and Obama grew up believing government is the source of all wisdom and more government spending is the solution to any problem. It's hardly surprising they think that way. At university, Swan and Obama would have learned all about the failures of the capitalist system.
The fact that it was capitalism that gave the baby boomers all the benefits they enjoyed in the first place would have been an uncomfortable reality ignored by their lecturers.
The central question of politics and public policy in both Australia and the US from the 1960s to the mid-'70s was how government should spend the proceeds of post-war prosperity. This is the prism through which Swan and Obama regard economic policy. For them, wealth redistribution is always more important than wealth creation.
The sentiment revealed in his lecture demonstrates just how narrow Swan's life experience is. According to his biography, he's never worked in the private sector (unless the Labor Party is classified as the private sector). He's been a university lecturer, a staffer to politicians, and an ALP official. There's nothing wrong with any of these jobs, but they're all jobs paid for by the wealth someone else has created. They're not the jobs that create the wealth that Swan wants to redistribute.
In his lecture, the Treasurer talked about his adoration for singer Bruce Springsteen and his hatred of Clive Palmer, Andrew Forrest and Gina Rinehart. He revealed many of the prejudices of his generation.
The lines from Swan's speech were straight out of the 1970s. "We have to stand up and be heard, because when the massively wealthy buy the loudest megaphones, the voices of the people are drowned out." The voices of the people against the carbon tax are pretty loud, but they're voices Swan and his colleagues don't want to listen to.
Swan railed against "vested interests". He didn't mention the biggest vested interest of them all: government.
Clearly, Swan is not opposed to all vested interests. He singled out Forrest's legal challenge to the mining tax as the power of a vested interest but he didn't talk about the vested interests of the ACTU campaigning against the Coalition's industrial relations policy.
Swan's double-standards abound. He accused Palmer of using his wealth to buy political influence. Yet Tony Sheldon from the Transport Workers Union threatened to withdraw $200,000 of donations to the Labor Party if Kevin Rudd replaced Julia Gillard.
Born to Run is the name of a song by Bruce Springsteen that Swan waxed lyrical about. If one song encapsulates the baby boomers' attitude to life, Born to Run is it. As Swan explained "It's about trying to stay young when the carefree days of youth were coming to an end . . . It's a song about realising that big and daunting responsibilities are just around the corner." Exactly. For baby boomers, those big and daunting responsibilities will always be just around the corner.
A budget surplus is just around the corner. And paying off the government debt is just around the corner.
The problem is that it will be the children of baby boomers who will have to face the future – it won't be the baby boomers themselves.
John Roskam is executive director of the Institute of Public Affairs.

Half-Life comes to Mac and Linux
Freeman's silent adventure makes its jump to new platforms
Valve has released Half-Life on Mac and Linux – finally. The original game was released to Windows PC in 1998.
The game was ported to the new platforms and quietly released, appearing on Steam in a fashionably late manner.
The influential game is priced at US$9.99, and should inject some sci-fi nostalgia onto Apple and penguin-powered systems.
Half-Life now joins Valve's other title, Left 4 Dead 2, on Linux.
Valve also recently encouraged Windows and Mac users to try out Linux.

Why Kenya is critical to Africa's future
Peace in Africa hinges on regional integration.
Johannesburg, South Africa
The postelection crisis that killed nearly 1,500 people in Kenya is now in remission.
But before the world turns its attention elsewhere, it's important to realize that the conflict in Kenya that ended as a result of US-reinforced mediation by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan is a variation of a greater African political dysfunction, one that happens to be the bane of the continent's development.
There is, in fact, a whole cluster of factors contributing to unstable governance to be considered. And if Africa is to attain sustainable stability, the core challenge, epitomized in different ways by the experiences of many African nations, is the continent's propensity for authoritarian executive dictatorships, or absolute monarchies.
If US and Western policies toward Africa are to have any effect, the West will have to make strengthening regional integration a priority.
African hegemonies are often reinforced by hard-line ruling cliques of a narrowly based ethnic, subethnic, clan, or regional nature. Their approaches to power can only be described as all-or-nothing. Forget about the checks-and-balances of an empowered parliament or internal democratization within a ruling party. These forms of political decentralization that Western countries associate with democracy are generally either absent or insufficiently developed to offset unchecked executive rule, despite the veneer of elections.
Indeed, the tendency of poll rigging across Africa has virtually brought the continent back to square one on the question of democracy. Kenya will have to seriously reengineer its constitution to undo the destabilizing concentrations of power and resources within narrowly based, elite backed, kleptocratic regimes. Amending the presidential system to include a prime minister with executive powers linked to the opposition's majority, is one example of such changes.

Woman sought over sustained attack on DLR worker
British Transport Police have released CCTV images of a woman suspected of assaulting a Docklands Light Railway inspector.
The incident took place on a train between Lewisham and Bank at 6.50pm on Wednesday, September 25. and saw the worker punched repeatedly in the head.
He had asked the woman and a male companion to remove their dog from the seats. He also asked the woman to take her feet off the seats.
He then asked them to leave the train at Elverson Road station as they had no tickets.
In response, the woman tripped the inspector over before punching him in the head and shoulder.
British Transport Police's DC Steve Ajayi said: "This was an intimidating and unprovoked assault on a member of staff who was simply trying to carry out his job.
"We don't tolerate behaviour and abuse such as this towards rail staff and will do everything we can to bring offenders to justice.
If you recognise the woman contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40, or text 61016, quoting background B5/LUA of 28/10/13.
Information can also be given Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

PEORIA, Ariz. -- The FBI is working to track down a suspect who robbed a Chase Bank in Peoria last month.
A man wearing a straw hat and a bandanna over his face entered the bank near Peoria and 99th avenues shortly before 2 p.m. on Sept. 25.
The suspect placed a black duffel bag on the teller station and verbally demanded money. He repeatedly told the tellers not to give him a dye pack, according to the FBI.
The suspect received a known amount of cash then fled the bank. He got into a white mid-size pickup truck with a chrome toolbox in the bed and left the area.
No weapon was seen.
The suspect is described as a white or Hispanic male, possibly in his 40s, 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall, with an average build. He was wearing a tan straw landscaper-type hat and had a blue or black bandanna covering his face.
He also had on dark sunglasses, gray shorts, a gray long-sleeve T-shirt with an unknown logo on the front, red and black motocross-type gloves with white writing on the top, and brown or black tennis shoes.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to contact the FBI at 623-466-1999.

Ambassade Hotel, Amsterdam
LOVE this hotel!
Posted on: February 10, 2009 at 6:39PM
This is one of our favorite hotels we stayed in on our last trip to Amsterdam. The hotel includes several joined buildings and each room contains a map to show you where your room fits in. The library is cozy, the breakfast was lovely and in such an adorable dining room. You can hardly imagine that it's there! The menu is very limiting, but getting tea delivered 24/7 on a silver tray with some cookies was pleasant enough. We stayed in the former bell tower and were just in love with the room and the hotel. No, it isn't the most up to date, but I prefer returning your keys and having a spin up a tiny staircase to a bulk hotel with key cards any day. I would absolutely suggest a stay here!
