Calamity: Despite repeated reassurances that ObamaCare website glitches were fixed, officials are frantically trying to repair massive problems that, by their own admission, could crush ObamaCare and the insurance industry.
Throughout December, administration officials said that they'd all but fixed the start-up problems with the ObamaCare exchange site, pointing to the sharp increase in enrollment that month as evidence. And as to those "back end" problems that sent erroneous information to insurers, they claimed to have cut the error rate to less than 1% by early December.
But hidden from view, administration officials were in a state of panic.
A procurement document posted on a federal website, but little noticed by the press, depicts an administration desperate to immediately replace CGI, the key contractor behind Healthcare.gov, with Accenture.
The need was so immediate, the document says, that the usual competitive bidding process had to be dispensed with. Why the urgency?
It turns out that after three years, CGI still hadn't built the "financial management platform" needed to track eligibility and enrollment, account for subsidy payments, and produce accurate "risk adjustment" forecasts.
As a result, the document says, "the entire healthcare reform program is jeopardized."
Failure to get this platform built in time, it said, could result in "erroneous payments to providers and insurers." And that, in turn, "could seriously put (health plans) at financial risk, potentially leading to their default."
In addition, the inability to forecast risk adjustment payments — a critical feature of ObamaCare — would put "the entire health insurance industry at risk." The officials' words, not ours.
Worse, they have only until mid-March — 31 business days from now — to get this "core functionality" built.
Yet even when announcing the contract switch earlier this month, the administration tried to downplay the situation, saying it had brought Accenture on mainly "to prepare for next year's open enrollment period."
Add to this ObamaCare's other monumental problems — its inability to sign up young people, the ongoing massive security risks at the website, the low payment rates among alleged enrollees — and you have a recipe for total disaster.
It may be too much to ask President Obama to put a stop to this madness. But at the very least, he owes the public a full accounting of the risks the health industry now faces thanks to his administration's incompetence.
Taxes: Health and Human Services admits it sent nearly a million incorrect tax forms to ObamaCare enrollees. A government that can't even get something simple like this right has no business running health care.The form in question is a new one — Form 1095-A — that goes to anyone who ...
Phony Numbers: The Obama administration says more than 11 million signed up for ObamaCare this year. Should anyone believe this number? Even if it's true, is it a sign of success? The answer to both is a resounding no.In a staged video released on Tuesday, HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell tells ...
Hypocrisy: If ObamaCare is so great, why do Democrats repeatedly try to hide its more unpleasant features? The latest example is their desperate effort to grant still more exemptions to the law's individual mandate.This week, three House Democrats who helped usher ObamaCare through that chamber ...
Crony Socialism: Among ObamaCare's many bad ideas was the attempt to create an entirely new industry of nonprofit insurance co-ops. It is fast turning into a huge, multibillion-dollar taxpayer boondoggle.Created as an alternative to an outright "public option," the co-ops have received $2.5 billion ...
Spending: President Obama almost sounded like a free-market health care reformer during a recent interview. Too bad he can't even imagine letting the private sector fix things.in an interview published this week on Vox.com, Ezra Klein asks Obama why health care costs so much more in the U.S. than ...

Contact Information: Is drawing down aquifers really so bad?March 4, 2015, Time: noon-1 pm CST Groundwater is a crucial resource in Minnesota and around the world. You might drink groundwater every day -- close to 70 percent of Minnesotans do. And you're probably eating groundwater as well -- groundwater supplies about 40 percent of irrigated agriculture worldwide. But what's the right way to manage this resource? Dropping water tables in India have been front page news. So has the discovery of giant groundwater reserves in Africa. Kate Brauman, lead scientist for IonE's Global Water Initiative; Steve Polasky, project lead for the IonE's Natural Capital Project and IonE resident fellow; Sherry Enzler, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources general counsel; and Perry M. Jones, U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist, will discuss the implications -- good and bad -- of using, and sometimes using up, the water beneath our feet.

Contact Information: Government action on the environment: what does "success" look like?March 11, 2015, Time: noon-1 pm CT There are many pathways to sustainability but few overall strategies that do not include some action by local, state and national governments. Yet whether reading daily news from D.C. or seeing the failures of large meetings like the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, government is seen at best as an obstacle and at worst to be written off as a meaningful actor. However, given that government involvement is necessary to solve problems like global climate change, are there success stories to share? Eric Lind, postdoctoral associate in the College of Biological Sciences; Julia Frost Nerbonne, executive director of Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light; Kate Knuth, Boreas Leadership Program director and former Minnesota State Representative; and Jessica Tritsch, senior organizing representative for the Sierra Club Beyond Coal to Clean Energy Campaign, examine case studies of successful government action from multiple perspectives inside and outside government, that can serve as models for future efforts.
Contact Information: Sustainable Seminar Series - Building a Local Circular Economy in ChicagoMarch 12, 2015 Presented by John Mulrow - Interim Executive Director, Plant Chicago Plant Chicago takes a hands-on approach to developing integrated systems of food production, energy conservation and material re-use. Through partnerships with public and private organizations, we identify, build, test, and refine innovative models of the circular economy. Our circular economy model is taught to schools, public tour groups and entrepreneurs, using current pilot projects to demonstrate the tangible benefits of these systems. We are based at The Plant, a 93,000 square foot former meat-packing plant on Chicago's south side. Our relationship with The Plant has helped us to bring circular economies and local communities together. This presentation will explain how and provide a vision for other communities to do the same.

The standard approach to managing this heat is to treat it as waste and expel it from buildings instead of using it to perform work. Advanced heat recovery has the potential to deliver a suite of environmental, economic and employment benefits if it was more widely implemented, as demonstrated by the Science Museum of Minnesota's retrofit case study. Patrick Hamilton, IonE resident fellow and director of the Science Museum of Minnesota's Global Change Initiatives; Scott Getty, energy project manager for Metropolitan Council Environmental Services; Katie Gulley, regional program manager of BlueGreen Alliance; and Peter M. Klein, vice president of finance for the Saint Paul Port Authority, will evaluate the hurdles and tipping points to the more rapid adoption of advanced heat recovery.

Sustainable Seminar Series - Bioprocessing of Microbial Biomass: Enabling Sustainable Zero-Discharge Seafood ProductionApril 2, 2015 Presented by David E. Brune -- Professor of Bioprocess and Bioenergy Engineering, Division of Food Sciences and Bioengineering, University of Missouri at Columbia U.S. marine shrimp consumption amounts to 1.4 billion lbs/yr. The bulk (86%) of U.S. consumption is imported from Asian suppliers, representing a U.S. deficit cash-flow of nearly $3.2 billion/yr. Asian countries produce over 10 billion lbs/yr of marine shrimp, nearly all grown in ponds fed diets enriched with 5-10% marine fish meal. These farms consume 28% of global fish meal production. This practice is depleting global marine forage fish stocks and driving the price of fish meal to record highs. Furthermore, wastewater discharge from shrimp production ponds in China is 10 times greater than all other industrial waste combined. This unsustainable feeding of marine protein and waste discharge must be replaced with improved technology. In addition, it is critical that technology be made available to U.S. farmers supporting a profit driven U.S. aquaculture industry. Recent University of Missouri research and extension efforts have been directed at development and demonstration of higher-value marine shrimp production in an environmentally friendly zero-discharge system. This effort is based on thirty years of PI experience with development and demonstration of the Partitioned Aquaculture System (PAS), a technique used to increase pond photosynthesis by use of low-speed paddlewheels. The PAS, or modified versions of the PAS referred to as "Split-Ponds," are being installed across the south as the preferred method of catfish culture. These systems are capable of increasing pond fish carrying capacity from 4,000 to nearly 20,000 kg/ha with zero discharge of water to the environment. The key enabling technology, discussed in this presentation, is co-culture of filter-feeding aquatic organisms converting marine algal and bacterial biomass used to maintain zero-discharge water quality into valuable aquatic animal feeds and biofuel co-products.

We last heard music from Joel. (aka MaG) on his 2013 release (via RCRDLBL) Freedom, a soulful slice of American hip-hop. He didn't go silent between then and now – those who follow him on Twitter know that Joel is a poet and a non-stop thinker, with an eye toward social progress and absolutely no patience for bullshit.
It's no surprise to find that same spirit in the music he's been working on. songs for charles is an independent release dropped via Bandcamp just last month, and it kicks off with a short audio clip from Jay Z in the studio, taken from the film Fade To Black. This track, titled "what Hov said…(intro)," captures Jay discussing young rappers coming up, who think they have to write about things they don't feel and don't know. He tells the cameraman to put the lens on him before saying, "See what y'all did to rappers? They scared to be theyself."
Being true to himself, then, serves as Joel.'s mission here. "I can't speak for no one else / but I'm gonna keep on being myself," goes one of the refrains on the first song, "creston and 188th." What follows is a personal catharsis. The next eight songs are all at least rooted in the past, even while facing the present. He looks back on his upbringing, his family, lessons learned and carried forward. "We was young / we was reckless," he says, in the frank and unsentimental "hash browns." The chilled out, hypnotic loop of the song keeps the mood static and, as much as the lyric, creates a vivid atmosphere, if not an especially warm one. It actually feels like a carefully constructed sound collage, pieced together from '70s-'80s AM radio dials, video games, cassettes rewinding…the sounds of a childhood, running in the background.
"new, new york" brings us into the present, or at least the very recent past. But each track here, just like real life, builds on what came before. That's why, even though this is an eight-song collection (nine tracks), I take songs for charles as an "album." It's not a mixtape, it's not a collection of singles. It's a thematic, narrative flow. And like a lot of Joel.'s work, it's densely filled with imagery and wordplay, and almost has the feel of a play. With only a few listens so far, I have not absorbed every nuance, but I look forward to trying.
"better late than never (intermission)" is a dreamy flight, with a backing that sounds like recent Radiohead; droning chords bracing syncopated, jazz drums. The lyric is equal parts past, present, and future, and how they are helplessly intertwined, with a hook that declares, "I'd rather die than let go of one of my dreams / one foot forward, all I gotta do is proceed…It's never too late to dream." Hope continues to be a central theme here – aspirations for a better life, one that's more fulfilling, one that is free from the troubled past, and one where glory is attained on no one else's terms but your own.
Certainly Joel. knows there's no complete escape from what came before. But songs for charles is at least an attempt at exorcism. Facing pain in stark terms, he describes a present in which personal reconciliation is already under way, and this music – in all its expressive, subtle complexity – is the conduit.
On Bandcamp now —> songs for charles by Joel.
The new album from Kat Robichaud and The Darling Misfits is out today, January 27th. An impressive, ambitious, and confident collection of dramatic rock and pop songs, the eponymous record was funded by fans earned by Robichaud throughout her time as front-woman of The Design and, most famously, during her thrilling run as a contender on The Voice.
There are no shortage of artists today aiming for the grand and theatrical, inspired by Lady Gaga, Dresden Dolls and the like – and surely these are influences on Kat Robichaud as well. But what makes this a special record, and Robichaud a special artist, is her natural edge. We would not hesitate to classify this as a rock and roll record, despite its polished pop production, purely for the non-stop intensity and the sheer force of the singer's will. More Queen and Foxy Shazam than Gaga, really.
On top of this, the LP is beautifully bizarre. It is funny, clever, defiant, and plainly well-written. Sound collages recur throughout, sometimes to create or enhance a vibe, and occasionally just for a laugh. Yet this is no novelty. Veering between wrenching balladry and dynamic, piano-pounding epics, this is the sound of an artist going for broke, being completely true to herself and discovering her own essence, having tested her limits and finding only those that are self-imposed.
Kat Robichaud and The Darling Misfits is streaming on Spotify, and available for purchase on iTunes.
If you're looking for it, it's actually not too hard to find a new band you really dig. Most often, those artists are doing something that resonates with you because of your established tastes. It sounds familiar, it feels comfortable, and maybe there's even an aspect of the music that's unique. Much more rare, though, is to come across an act doing something completely different than what you might otherwise find in your music collection and still be affected by it. Such is the case with The Shills, a band that seems to blend so many varied influences as to produce music that cannot be so easily pigeonholed. Fresh off a second win in our Indie Pop channel, they are our latest Artist of the Week.
If you're a rock fan, and especially one disheartened by the state of music as represented, say, in the recent Grammy Awards, you might find yourself thinking that the world could use an antidote, and maybe a heavy dose at that. The Fratellis might have been thinking the same thing when they titled their newest album We Need Medicine, and delivered a blast of thoughtful, authentic rock and roll. The UK trio blazed onto the US scene when their song "Flathead" appeared in a 2007 iPod commercial. They've been steadily building up a devoted fan base since then, and We Need Medicine, their first album after an extended hiatus, is the gem that really should put them over the top stateside. We spoke with singer and guitarist Jon Fratelli about his approach to writing songs, making videos, and how much influence current pop music has on the band (SPOILER: none).
OS: You've spoken about the songs on We Need Medicine in terms of how they serve the record, that you've written songs of a certain type because the record needed it. This somewhat business-like approach calls to mind songwriters like Paul McCartney, who can write heartbreaking or joyous songs simply having set out to fill a requirement. Indeed, many of your new songs sound positively exuberant. Has songwriting always worked that way for you, or has that ability to just sit down and do a job developed along with you as songwriters?
Jon: I think it's really just about having a vague idea of somewhere you'd like to go. I learned that by having no idea where to go on the second Fratellis record; it ends with a mediocre album and with songs that, a year later, you don't want to play anymore. I didn't want that to be the case this time so only concentrated on writing in a style that know I'll always be able to connect to.
OS: You guys are great at style or genre exercise songs, but what song would you pick from your catalogue that is stylistically most uniquely you?
Jon: I hope never to write that song. There'll always be songs that other people connect you with more than others, but I don't think musicians really do that with their own music. If you write something that perfectly sums up everything you've ever wanted to say then you have no reason to get out of bed in the morning.
In 2013, Xolie Morra & the Strange Kind were selected from thousands of OurStage artists to appear as the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! They taped the show later in the year and then, this Tuesday night, it all came together, as the band performed their song "Over My Head" on national television. The show will air again this Friday night. Here's the band's performance.
Go behind the scenes with the band as they travel to Hollywood, rehearse, visit the Gibson guitars showroom, and hang out backstage at Jimmy Kimmel Live! Watch below.
The third and final installment of our 2013 Ernie Ball Save Your Strings Competition was the search for one great artist in our country category to win a year's supply of strings and accessories. We've previously introduced you to our pop winner, Biscuits & Gravy, and our rock winner, The Jellybricks. They will now be joined in consideration for the grand prize " an endorsement deal with Ernie Ball and a Music Man guitar for each player in the band " by our country winner, Gin House.
Gin House has a winner with their great country porch stomper Roots, a perfect title for this band, whose other songs reveal a passion for all kinds of Americana beyond country " blues, folk, and even classic pop. The main driver behind Gin House is Brandon Clark, who sings with a voice like tarnished gold " built for radio, but with a deep character, and sounded with conviction. Check out the appropriately slow-burning stunner The Fire Is Alive for evidence. Clark founded the band in 2011 with Paul Lynch, and the following year released their self-titled 5-song EP, which features Roots. In support of the release, Clark hit the road with Austin Renfroe, hitting colleges from the Northeast to the upper Midwest. Sad to say we missed them last time around, but we won't that mistake again.
All of the songs from the EP are currently posted on their OurStage page " highly recommended listening. Stay tuned for the selection of the Ernie Ball Save Your Strings Grand Prize winner.

This week's Artist of the Week is Ciph Boogie. Ciph was the champ in our 2012 ESPN Main Event Competition, scoring a prime placement on the sports network's Friday Night Fights. That was over a year ago, but the Brooklyn rapper has not been resting. He's been writing, recording, and performing steadily, and has just released a brand-new freestyle, Y'all Still Don't Get It. The track is a dark groove with a haunting, John Carpenter-esque keyboard arpeggio, punctuated with a distorted kick, and laced with foreboding samples.
Most of Ciph's music contains an uneasy undercurrent, from his early Quiet Storm mixtape through 2008's Black Mamba LP and the more recent Some Time In New York City EP. His wordplay sparkles on top of winding, minor-key hooks and hits, making for an irresistible yin-and-yang. Every new release from Ciph Boogie has been a remarkable progression, and we now find him at the top of his game. He'll be featured next on the 2013 compilation from Signatrue Clothing. Check out the new freestyle below, along with a comprehensive recent interview with The Sunday Night Cook Up.
The long out-of-print first two albums from beloved rootsy rock underdogs The Bottle Rockets have finally been reissued, and with the deluxe treatment, no less.
On November 19th, Bloodshot Records released Bottle Rockets/The Brooklyn Side as a two-disc package, including a detailed 40-page booklet. Released in 1993 and 1995 respectively, these two records are crucial early planks in the bridge from The Replacements through Ryan Adams' Whiskeytown and to the now-established alt-country scene.
Not only do the records hold up to their countless progeny, they sound even more vital than many of today's roots rock releases. The albums' straight-ahead, raw and roomy production (enhanced by a fine remastering job) has nothing in common with the budget indie sound that dates so many of their contemporaries and, along with the top-notch songwriting and fearless performances, makes for an exciting listen.
We had a quick Q&A with Bottle Rockets drummer Mark Ortmann to see what he thought accounted for the great sound on these records, as well as his thoughts on touring, playing with Marshall Crenshaw, and bands on other planets.
SJ: I had never heard these two early records, and being a fan of lots of independent releases from the early '90s, I can't believe how vibrant these sound in contrast, with a really high production value. That can't just be the remaster, right? To what or whom do you attribute the sound of the recordings?
Mark: John Keane produced, recorded and engineered the debut album Bottle Rockets, whereas The Brooklyn Side was produced by Eric Ambel and recorded by Albert Caiati. Although the remastering did put a new polish on those albums, it's John, Eric and Albert who are responsible for the vibrant quality of the original recordings. The common approach they took was to record a faithful representation of the band while avoiding the audio fads/trends of the times (gated drums, digital effects, etc.) There is more production on The Brooklyn Side because there was more studio time to work with by the second album, but neither album sounds dated due to the recording methods used.
Brooklyn's Late Cambrian is our new Artist of the Week. No strangers to the OurStage community, this three-piece rock combo has seen several placements at the top of our fan-ranked charts, as well as in the overall Best of the Best, and they first won the opportunity to appear at Maine's KahBang Festival (to which they've been invited back repeatedly by festival organizers) as a result of their popularity on OurStage.
We've been psyched to see them grow from an undiscovered gem into one of the more fast-emerging bands on the independent scene. Their video and single Ryan Gosling was a minor hit, securing serious international airplay. The band has toured relentlessly and, having just performed a showcase at New York's CMJ festival, is headed out on the road again this fall, supporting Wheatus.
In an era when pop-rock bands are so often disposable carbon copies of each other, Late Cambrian breathes new life into the genre. The songs are smart and catchy, the sound is jittery, angular, and immensely danceable " yes, a rock band you can really move to. This year's LP, Peach, expanded the band's palette to great effect, adding more complex arrangements and lofty atmospherics to the core elements of chiming guitars, driving rhythms, and smooth harmonies. Gone are the obligatory, sometimes obvious nods to Weezer and other ˜90s power pop godfathers, and in their place is an original and clever synthesis of influences that ends up sounding like nothing but Late Cambrian; like nothing but now. Check out the video for Ryan Gosling, as well as fall tour dates, below.
As pop music is regarded more and more seriously by music critics and aficionados, its leading artists seem to be incorporating a wider palette of influences in their productions. Or perhaps the sonic expansion came first. But it's more likely a self-sustaining cycle, the artistry eliciting a positive response, which in turn inspires more experimentation. In any case, it's a plus for pop music, once (and still often) a one-dimensional, disposable wasteland, but now a breeding ground for ear candy with both style and depth.
So let's get down today with one of those artists pushing the possibilities of what pop can be: Zac Smith, our Artist of the Week. Smith, a Berklee College of Music grad, has just released a trio of new songs that display an impressive array of rock, electronic, and acoustic elements, all packaged with the earmarks of infectious, radio-ready pop.
It's Love sports a propulsive groove that resolves in a cymbal-washed chorus, before breaking down and re-building, while I'm Not Dreaming incorporates rock-EDM hybrid drum patterns and sounds. Smith takes a turn toward simplified uke-acoustic melodicism on Run, Run, Run, with sweet harmonies and roomy percussion.
Smith has a perfect voice for this kind of music " airy and unintrusive. It often feels like another piece of the instrumentation, rather than the reason for the songs to exist. That is, the music is clearly not just a showcase for the vocal. Each part of the tracks work together to create a unified vibe, meant to be taken in as a whole. These three tracks appear to be among Smith's first professional efforts. We'll be interested to see where he goes next. Listen to "It's Love" below.

Amazing Brok is a challenging 2D platformer that addresses the problem plaguing so many other platformers on mobile devices: the controls. Brok is unique with its 2 button system. One button causes Brok to jump, and the other interacts with the objects in the level in various ways. This control system is a lot of fun to learn, while still providing a lot of interesting level mechanics, like timing your jump for extra height (coming off a landing), or wall jumping.

Nikon D50 review updated to full production status
Dave Etchells
(Friday, August 12, 2005 - 10:39 EDT)
Given the amount of email we've been getting lately, this has to be one of the most eagerly anticipated production updates to a review we've ever done.
Wait no more, our
Nikon D50
review has now been updated to include test results and sample images from a full production model. My initial (very positive) impressions of the D50 were largely borne out by the production model, and I was surprised by how low its image noise is, particularly at high ISO. It's a "value priced" d-SLR, but its performance is very much first rate.
As usual, there's too much detail to even mention in passing here, see the full
Nikon D50 review
for full information. (If you've already read the First Look preview of the camera, you may want to just dive into the
Nikon D50 test results
Bottom line though, the Nikon D50 is just an excellent match for the aforementioned "family photographer," or for anyone wanting exceptional value in an entry-level digital SLR. This is a camera that will get you started in the world of d-SLRs at an affordable price, but one that will also give you plenty of room to grow over the years, as your skills mature.
Very highly recommended, a dead shoe-in as a
Dave's Pick

Nikon D50
review for all the details!

besides, the whitehouse roof has a terrible field of fire - it is
a short building surrounded by taller ones - which is actually
its best defense against aviation suicide attack - so that by
the time you saw something and fired on it, you (and the
target) would already be toast. IF there were SAMs they
would be on one of the taller buildings that are in the area
(the Old Ugly Office Building comes to mind, but that is
just speculation on my part) and also there would be some
located outside of the downtown area, to fire at the target
as it was moving away from the weapons (better IR lock-on
and a less dynamic target picture). The a below mentioned
battery at David Taylor would be such a position.
I wonder if that is still there - someone should check - reading the

Easy hook up, stand alone. Page 116 in the new catalog. chuckyt1 12-31-2007, 01:22 AM I have the Raptor. It's small, easy to install, and very easy to set.

Bachelorette Dinner Lower East Side

I'm looking for a place to have a bachelorette party dinner in the LES. Group of young twenty something girls from NYC. I was thinking Stanton Social or Beauty on Essex. Any suggestions? Also looking for a fun place to drink and dance afterwards. Thanks!
re: ilovemaps247
Some might consider Stanton Social a bit passe - Beauty & Essex is newer and a bit hipper. Same chef though.
re: ilovemaps247
Also worth noting that Beauty & Essex serves champagne in the ladies room. If that doesn't scream bachelorette party I don't know what does.
I just recently went to a Bachelorette dinner for at 'inoteca and it was excellent. They served everything family style (salads -- including an amazing beet salad with hazelnuts, charcuterie platter, eggplant, mussels and clams in white wine sauce, roast chicken, nutella panini, cheese platter) for only $40/pp.
There was plenty of food to go around (and we had a ton left over), and everything was delicious. The wine selection is decent. Plus, they seated us in their "wine cellar." There were two other (smaller) parties downstairs, but it was small enough to give the room a private feel. You could do dinner at 'incoteca and then head elsewhere for cocktails.
I like Stanton Social and agree that a small plates style place would be good for a Bachelorette, but found some of the items to be hit or miss, when you start ordering cocktails, the night becomes pretty pricey.
Can't comment on Beauty and Essex as I've never been there, but have been meaning to try it.

Can't beat the price! Clean, comfortable, and the added kitchen was a big plus. Will stay here again!
Nice hotel and room
February 17, 2015
pleased I stayed here - convenient location to the freeway; quiet location. Bedding was a nice surprise. layout of the room was great
Good for a short stay
February 15, 2015
Front desk staff were incredibly friendly and check in was a breeze. Complimentary laundry is always appreciated. Size of the room, especially the kitchenette-full pantry cupboard, was great! General cleanliness of the room was good, however it was in need of a good deep clean-spots on carpet and furniture. Internet was slow and spotty-fine for office work or social media, streaming was difficult.
Overall, a good stay and I would stay again.

Location up in the mountains was lovely as can walk straight from hotel into forests. Beautiful views. Peaceful setting. Good food at the hotel, great breakfasts. Very helpful hosts. Excellent room, very clean, warm, huge bathroom, great balcony view. Nice to have fridge in room too. Wifi was better amd quicker in the restaurant/breakfast room than bedroom but this is maybe not a bad thing seeing as we were holidaying. Bed mattress was too soft for us so had light sleep but not marking this as a negative as some people may like soft mattresses. Def. recommend this hotel. Really lovely. The location is worth every penny. Would come back here again. Loved it.
Would have liked to have laundry included
We stayed 2 nights in the new building (with traditional Alpen wooden ceiling), the mountain view from our balcony was amazing! very good wifi connection (no problem to watch online programs). Very good breakfast and the staff and attentive (which makes a good start for the day : ) Sauna is nice! Everywhere to go is appr. 15 min. driving (such as taking the boat trip in koningssee or to start hiking in the national park). A wonderful experience!
The menu in the restaurant is a bit lack of variety. So we went to Berchtesgaden (15 min. driving) for dinner (there is good grill house and a delicious curry restaurant). 10:00 for check-out is early. 到Berchtesgaden鎮上用餐有比較多的選擇性!!
+ spa + mountain view + friendly staff
- carpet is kinda old and not clean enough - wifi connection is not stable
We liked the seclusion of this hotel and we also very much enjoyed the food both breakfast and evening meals.
Our room, at the back of the main building was the smallest we had out of 10 hotels over 2 weeks. The bathroom was also very tiny. There was no view from our room which was very disappointing as this is what sold me on the hotel when booking. Our room was also directly above the kitchen so was quite loud in the mornings and evenings.
Buffet Breakfast is ok with some housemade products
We arrived late (8.00pm) and the owner seemed quite annoyed and no possibility anymore to have dinner in the pension, even though it wasn't said when we booked the room. Supplement 20€ charged because we stayed 1 night !
Beautiful spot high up in the Alps. Typical Bavarian chalet with excellent facilities and high standard of cleanliness. Our room had a lovely balcony which faced the sun in the afternoon. The evening meal was delicious as was the breakfast. A true gem, we can't wait to return.
Nothing apart from maybe the bathroom was a little on the small side.
Great area and easy to find location. The hotel and rooms were clean, the staff was very helpful, replied quite quickly to my emails and didn't have any problem with us arriving later in the evening.
Perfect location with jaw dropping views. The owner was polite and service orientated rather than in your face, everyone spoke English and translated menus etc. It was spotless and immaculate and much superior to the photos which far from do it justice. Super quiet and then there was the food- wow, delicious, fresh and locally produced. Wide range of choice and the owner bent over backwards to assist me with a lactose free diet, I got delicious cheese that I can't even get here. The balcony overlooked the mountains so we spent the evening drinking our own beer (which they don't mind as they only serve beer with food) and generally relaxing. The whole area is fabulous, if you want rowdy beer swilling and screaming kids, give it a miss, if you want beautiful, clean, wholesome and 100% relaxation and comfort- do it.
The wi if didn't work but this is barely an issue. Not a problem for me, but it's not the place for the rowdy everyone is tucked up in their rooms by 9pm and the tv is naturally all German. Enjoy the peace though, it's a rare thing. I will def be going back here.
An incredible guesthouse, especially for the rate. Located on the side of a mountain with impressive views. Run by a lovely family. Very good breakfast offerings. I look forward to returning!

Protest-hit Thai economy slows in Q4 of 2013 with 0.6% growth
Published on Feb 17, 2014 7:10 PM
BANGKOK (AFP) - Thailand's economy grew 0.6 per cent in the final three months of 2013 compared with the same quarter a year earlier, data showed on Monday, as political turmoil hit consumer confidence and tourism.
With no end in sight to more than three months of anti-government protests, the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) also trimmed its growth outlook for 2014.
The fourth-quarter gross domestic product growth figure represents a sharp slowdown from the 2.7 per cent year-on-year expansion in the previous quarter.
It was the fourth straight quarter of slowing growth in the kingdom and meant that overall the Thai economy expanded at a weaker-than-expected 2.9 per cent across 2013, the board said.

Quick question on router logic between VPN peers. if you have a site to site vpn and your ACL tells the router what to encrypt:
such as "access-list 101 permit ip host 10.0.0.1 host 10.0.0.2 log"
if you have networks on the far side of each of these peers, does the aformentioned ACL mean only the traffic specifically between the peers would be encrypted. and traffic destined for 10.0.5.1 - connected to 10.0.0.1 from 10.0.0.2 would not. This is hard to illustrate without pictures but my though proccess is that the sending router .2 would have to know about (routing table )where to send data to reach 5.x network and once the sending router found the exit interface had a Crypto map the ACL would take over and send the data to the encryption engine.
Hi Gerard,
to answer your question. The encryption engine will only encrypt traffic that is matched via the crypto map. So if your crypto map says to match access list 101 then only the traffic from 10.0.0.1 will be encrypted and sent across the encrypted tunnel all other traffic will be sent un-encrypted. Also keep in mind that if you have NAT enabled on your interfaces, one thing that you will have to do is to prevent the traffic that is destined for the VPN tunnel from being NAT'ed. Otherwise you will see no traffic going across the tunnel.
