Yonatan recently graduated from UC Santa Cruz, with a B.A. in classical guitar and electronic music. Since then, he has been teaching music full-time both in large classes and to individuals. When he is not teaching, he is performing with one of his folk, blues, or rock bands. Yonatan has enjoyed teaching music for over 3 years. He teaches Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Accordion, Theory, Ukulele, and songwriting. Throughout his childhood his musical education was non-traditional, as he learned to play by listening to the musicians that inspired him, and aimed to replicate their playing while defining his own style. Later in his life, he understood the benefit of formal training, which led him to receive a B.A. in music. For this reason, Yonatan's lessons incorporate both ways he ...

Katikireddi SV, Egan M, Petticrew M. How do systematic reviews incorporate risk of bias assessments into the synthesis of evidence? A methodological study. J.Epidemiol.Community Health. 2015 Feb;69(2):189-95. PMID: 25481532.
Background: Systematic reviews (SRs) are expected to critically appraise included studies and privilege those at lowest risk of bias (RoB) in the synthesis. This study examines if and how critical appraisals inform the synthesis and interpretation of evidence in SRs.
Methods: All SRs published in March-May 2012 in 14 high-ranked medical journals and a sample from the Cochrane library were systematically assessed by two reviewers to determine if and how: critical appraisal was conducted; RoB was summarised at study, domain and review levels; and RoB appraisals informed the synthesis process.
Results: Of the 59 SRs studied, all except six (90%) conducted a critical appraisal of the included studies, with most using or adapting existing tools. Almost half of the SRs reported critical appraisal in a manner that did not allow readers to determine which studies included in a review were most robust. RoB assessments were not incorporated into synthesis in one-third (20) of the SRs, with their consideration more likely when reviews focused on randomised controlled trials. Common methods for incorporating critical appraisals into the synthesis process were sensitivity analysis, narrative discussion and exclusion of studies at high RoB. Nearly half of the reviews which investigated multiple outcomes and carried out study-level RoB summaries did not consider the potential for RoB to vary across outcomes.
Conclusions: The conclusions of the SRs, published in major journals, are frequently uninformed by the critical appraisal process, even when conducted. This may be particularly problematic for SRs of public health topics that often draw on diverse study designs.

Brown S, Hutton B, Clifford T, Coyle D, Grima D, Wells G, Cameron C. A Microsoft-Excel-based tool for running and critically appraising network meta-analyses--an overview and application of NetMetaXL. Syst.Rev. 2014 Sep 29;3(1):110. PMID: 25267416.
Background: The use of network meta-analysis has increased dramatically in recent years. WinBUGS, a freely available Bayesian software package, has been the most widely used software package to conduct network meta-analyses. However, the learning curve for WinBUGS can be daunting, especially for new users. Furthermore, critical appraisal of network meta-analyses conducted in WinBUGS can be challenging given its limited data manipulation capabilities and the fact that generation of graphical output from network meta-analyses often relies on different software packages than the analyses themselves.
Methods: We developed a freely available Microsoft-Excel-based tool called NetMetaXL, programmed in Visual Basic for Applications, which provides an interface for conducting a Bayesian network meta-analysis using WinBUGS from within Microsoft Excel. . This tool allows the user to easily prepare and enter data, set model assumptions, and run the network meta-analysis, with results being automatically displayed in an Excel spreadsheet. It also contains macros that use NetMetaXL's interface to generate evidence network diagrams, forest plots, league tables of pairwise comparisons, probability plots (rankograms), and inconsistency plots within Microsoft Excel. All figures generated are publication quality, thereby increasing the efficiency of knowledge transfer and manuscript preparation.
Results: We demonstrate the application of NetMetaXL using data from a network meta-analysis published previously which compares combined resynchronization and implantable defibrillator therapy in left ventricular dysfunction. We replicate results from the previous publication while demonstrating result summaries generated by the software.
Conclusions: Use of the freely available NetMetaXL successfully demonstrated its ability to make running network meta-analyses more accessible to novice WinBUGS users by allowing analyses to be conducted entirely within Microsoft Excel. NetMetaXL also allows for more efficient and transparent critical appraisal of network meta-analyses, enhanced standardization of reporting, and integration with health economic evaluations which are frequently Excel-based.

Chen DG, Peace KE. . Applied Meta-Analysis with R. Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press; 2013. ISBN: 9781466506008; 1466506008.
[Description from Publisher website]
In biostatistical research and courses, practitioners and students often lack a thorough understanding of how to apply statistical methods to synthesize biomedical and clinical trial data. Filling this knowledge gap, Applied Meta-Analysis with R shows how to implement statistical meta-analysis methods to real data using R.
Drawing on their extensive research and teaching experiences, the authors provide detailed, step-by-step explanations of the implementation of meta-analysis methods using R. Each chapter gives examples of real studies compiled from the literature. After presenting the data and necessary background for understanding the applications, various methods for analyzing meta-data are introduced. The authors then develop analysis code using the appropriate R packages and functions. This systematic approach helps readers thoroughly understand the analysis methods and R implementation, enabling them to use R and the methods to analyze their own meta-data.
Suitable as a graduate-level text for a meta-data analysis course, the book is also a valuable reference for practitioners and biostatisticians (even those with little or no experience in using R) in public health, medical research, governmental agencies, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Since the production of this one is so limited and beyond my reach, would anyone be so kind as to help me clone this one? I can see that the ABV is variable, but from what I gathered, it circles around 19%:http://www.thebruery.com/beers/index.html
"Our infamous Black Tuesday is an Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon barrels for over a year. Rich caramel, toasted malt, vanilla, burnt wood, anise are just a few of the many flavors of this rich, decadent imperial stout.
ABV: varies, IBU: 40, SRM: 100+, Release: October (Available at Brewery Only)"http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/16866/51257
Maybe I'd do some sort of Imperial Stout up to about 10%, then adjunct with some sort of liquor?
Oak chip aging?
Will Spruce Goose be my ultimate demise?
Tyler from the Bruery had a great presentation for the people of QUAFF a few months back. It's not a clone, but it's some great advice.http://www.quaff.org/SpeakerNotes/Hi...entation-1.pdf
Excellent read, thank you.
Anyone have a bead on anything special in the grain bill? Or is it a pretty standard american imperial stout?
Bump, I'd like to get some info on cloning this.
I would like to know as well
OP here.
I still haven't found anything really on point. But, if I were to take a whack at it, I'd make a nice imperial stout that I like, user a super high gravity yeast, and boost the gravity with multiple DME additions over the course of a week, pitched directly into primary. I'd also add more yeast each time and perhaps invest in an oxygenation system so I could oxygenate with each addition.
As for the bourbon flavor, I am not a big fan. I had a bottle of this last xmas, and the bourbon was too much for me. I'm not sure if that would age out much either. I'd put less or just leave it out. Oak I'd put in too. Love oak.
That's my approach. I still haven't seen a clone recipe, but now that I've had the beer, I'm not so fixated on it anymore. Oh well.
I've tried Asking for the recipe, or any kind of help or advice for black Tuesday. The brewer said it couldn't be done on a homebrew scale. Never really got much further
Any updates out there?
I owe MrK305 a beer!My YouTube ChannelMilk The Funk
I'm going to try again soon using the Bruery's tips: multiple staggered yeast pitches with oxygenation, staggered fermentable and adjunct additions, and finishing with high-gravity yeast. If it goes well I'll come back for an update. I doubt the recipe is complex or unique. I also bet that they blend from several barrels to get the balance right, so as to avoid over-powering flavors from oaking. I don' think they bottle condition either. At 19%, its probably easier to force carb or cut back on the gravity a bit so you can carb with champagne yeast.
Did anyone score a copy of the PDF? Its no longer up and I'd like to get my hands on it if anyone wants to share!

Wild Truffles In PA?
Hi! Anyone out there know anything about Wild Truffles in Pennsylvania? Do we have them here? Are they common in this area?If any, what types would typicaly be found? I believe possibly,the dogs of a dear friend of mine,have discovered a patch on her property! They return to the dark moist area under a tree quite frequently,any chance they get!!! Any information is welcomed and much appreciated!Good wishes to all!
Dogs don't like to eat truffles, though they can be trained to find them. If your friend's dogs haven't been truffle trained, there is likely something else attracting them to the tree. Maybe a dead animal is buried under the tree or an animal is roosting in the tree and dropping urine or scat under the tree.
Truffles species do grow in North America, mostly on the west coast, but their ediblility has not been established. See the link below for info
Here is a link that might be useful: Truffles
im not sure if truffles are found in pa but i know that the response from judy b should be ignored simply bescause they say in response that a truffles edibility has not been establised and yet it has been on the tables as a delicacy for centuries and is today one of the most expesnsive edible mushrooms there is
hope you find out if they can be found in pa im looking too lol almost listened to judy till she said they are not edible good luck

Amalga will do the aggregation of the records and HealthVault will integrate so patients will have access to their medical records. If a patient moves to another facility, the records can follow and new care givers will know and be able to read the prior requirements, etc. for patient care.
Golden Living has over 300 facilities that will be connected. With the HealthVault connections with devices that report data I would guess this would be the next frontier to be explored as far as adding records to the patient HealthVault account, such as blood pressure readings, weight, etc. With blue tooth the adding of information is getting to be a somewhat automated process so we don't have to manually enter all the day from a keyboard and it makes it easier for caregivers as well. Again, with HealthVault, the patient chooses what they want and maybe do not want to share. BD
Press Release:
Solutions will provide higher levels of care coordination across care teams from both acute and post-acute care settings.
WASHINGTON, D.C., and REDMOND, Wash. — Dec. 2, 2009 — Golden Living and Microsoft Corp. announced the companies will collaborate to give caregivers single-point access to the diverse healthcare information necessary for providing ongoing care after patients leave the hospital and to give patients and their families better tools for managing patients' health.
Golden Living is the first post-acute care organization to adopt Microsoft Amalga Unified Intelligence System (UIS). This relationship will allow Golden Living to benefit from the same technology used in some of the country's most advanced hospitals.
While there is an abundance of data in healthcare, there is little ability to compare, contrast and learn from the data, which is saved in separate systems and segregated by incompatible formats. Amalga UIS will help Golden Living combine distinct information from a variety of diverse internal and provider sources, including hospitals, public and private payers, independent physicians, and an array of post-acute services.
The targeted result is more effective management of chronic disease, improved clinical outcomes, and the substitution of early intervention and prevention for costly hospitalization.
"The potential is there for significant improvements in healthcare quality and cost efficiency — exactly the kind of results that are being sought in the healthcare reform," said Golden Living president and CEO Neil Kurtz, M.D.
While the use of electronic health records (EHRs) is becoming more common in U.S. hospitals, availability is extremely limited outside the acute care setting. Americans who seek ongoing care after hospitalization use a variety of healthcare providers to promote recovery or treat chronic conditions. Few of those providers ever see the hospital patient record, however, and fewer still are linked electronically in a way that promotes coordinated, high-quality care.
Golden Living selected Amalga UIS in part for the ability to link a patient's personal health information stored in Microsoft HealthVault with the patient's data stored in Golden Living systems. HealthVault (http://www.healthvault.com) is an online personal health application platform that lets people gather, store and share health information online.
While patients hold the key to their HealthVault accounts and control how their personal health information is used, they can now authorize Golden Living to augment their existing information with additional personal health data from a range of post-acute providers.
"By using Amalga UIS to bolster the information in HealthVault, we'll empower the very patients who stand to benefit most from storing, sharing and utilizing health information," said Kurtz.
"Think about the demographics and psychographics of the post-acute patient," he added. "Many are learning how to live differently — either coping with chronic conditions or making lifestyle changes to prevent a recurrence of the condition that prompted hospitalization in the first place. Most need to share information with multiple healthcare providers and family members, who become increasingly important in the post-acute care process or as the patient ages. With Amalga and HealthVault, we are able to help facilitate this important information exchange."
Kurtz noted that Amalga UIS also will enable Golden Living to integrate patient care across its own businesses, including skilled nursing, long-term care, rehabilitation therapy, assisted living, home health and hospice. As patients move from one Golden Living care setting to another, their health information follows them and does not have to be redone.
"This 'patient-centric' approach, coupled with our geographic reach and full integration of post-acute services, enables us to make a real difference in the way post-acute care is delivered in America," said Kurtz.
"Managing post-acute care presents tremendous challenges both to families as a loved one moves in and out of different, disconnected care settings, and to the U.S. healthcare system as the population of elderly continues to grow rapidly," said Peter Neupert, corporate vice president, Microsoft Health Solutions Group. "Golden Living is taking a leadership position in post-acute care by using technology to connect everyone involved — doctor, nurse, hospice worker and family caregiver — giving them the ability to access and share complete, up-to-date information about the patient. The free flow of information, with the patient at the center, is critical to driving meaningful improvements in our health system."
Amalga UIS addresses a common and critical challenge of healthcare providers — integrating vast amounts of clinical, administrative and financial information that flow in and out of disparate information systems, and tailoring that information for use by physicians, analysts, laboratory technicians, nurses and administrators. Amalga takes advantage of health enterprises' investments in existing health IT solutions and makes it possible for the entire organization to gain quick access to data and turn that information into critical knowledge that facilitates better decision-making and improved patient outcomes.
Amalga UIS is in use at more than 100 hospitals in renowned U.S. health organizations, including NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, the Johns Hopkins Health System, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute and the Wisconsin Health Information Exchange. More information is available at http://www.microsoft.com/amalga.

Side Trips: Hampton Beach New Hampshire
This is the only beachfront of the State of New Hampshire, all 18 miles (28 kilometers) of it at the town of Hampton, just across Northern Massachussets and is a 52 minute 45 mile (72 kilometer) drive north via Interstate 95. strolling on the nearly deserted beach since it is late september or early fall season that is why there are hardly any people here except the day tourist like us from boston from a day long new england sea coast tour. If you are in the boston area in summer or during spring break, I would strongly recommend you to go here plus book the New England Sea Coast tours from the assorted tours from boston and experience the beach since it is very clean and wide and the currents are not strong and more specially to see more people.

Side Trips: Cape Neddick Nubble Light House
Located 66 miles (110 Kilometers) North of Downtown Boston Via Interstate 95 in Southern Maine.
The Nubble Light House has one rich history in the Maine Coast (which has a reputation for historic lighthouses numbering about 60 dotting it's coasts) but at present is not accesible to visitors. The Nubble light House is a major stop for people who go on a tour of Maine in General and southern main in Particular. The best place to view the Lighthouse is at the nearby Sohier State Park where parking is free. Built in 1879, Cape Neddick is the southernmost of Maine's many lighthouses. It is also called Nubble Light, refering to the barren rocky island (Nubble) on which it sits, just off shore. The 41 foot tower is constructed of cast iron plates lined with brick. Cape Neddick's fourth-order lens flashes red every six seconds, and is visible for 13 miles (21 Kilometers). The Nubble Light has probably appeared on more postcards, calendars, and other souvenirs than any other New England lighthouse

Carmen Park
betweeon Union Street and Congress Street fronting the Union Oyter House in One Side and the City Hall Square on the other Side and ending at the Faneuil Hall is the Carmen Park, the small public park also houses the Northeast Holocaust Memorial (I will have separate tip on it) and you can take a rest or just hang around here as there are many public chairs and some bronze statues along this park.

Boston Convention and Exhibition Center
The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) lies in the Seaport District of Boston and is the biggest Indoor Convention and Exhibition Center in New England. This huge facility has 516,000 square feet (48,000 square meters) of floor space and the main hall can be divided into 3 separate areas for different activities. It is ideal for conventions and of course I've attended one here since I am making a tip. The Convention Center is a good stepping point in doing tours arond boston as they have Subway Stops and Hop On Hop Off Trolley stops here where you can go to other areas of boston on a budget if you are staying in this area.
the convention center is open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm everyday
Nearest MBT is World Trade Center Station.

East Boston Piers Park
This little park has got to be one of the best places to see downtwn Boston's skyline. Located in East Boston, it's very easy to get there from the Airport subway station. You only need to follow the walking path that starts in the park at the front of the station for about 15 minutes until you reach the waterfront. The park is not very bit (6.5 acres), but if you happen to be in the area - especially if you have some time to kill before your flight - it's definitely worth making the short detour to enjoy the beautilful views it offers of downtown Boston.Related to:

Chelsea is across the Tobin Bridge
The rough cut but historical ethnic enclave of Chelsea is where the commercial produce market and other industries are located, but it's also an important historical town. Take the 111 bus from the Hay Market transit station in downtown Boston. These buses are very popular but cost just $2- to cross the Tobin Bridge within 10 minutes to Chelsea. Get off along Broadway and walk around. There are good cheap ethnic restaurants here.Related to:

Statue of Admiral Farragut
A statue of Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, hero of the Battle of Mobile Bay in the American Civil War, stands in the center of the traffic circle at City Point. Were he alive today, he would probably exclaim, "Damn the SUVs! Full speed ahead!"

Float on....
Sometimes you seek attractions and sometimes they find you on their own. After having dinner at the Ashmont Grill, I found this wonderful floating head. It lives across the street from the restaurant and really, just begging for a photo op.
I hope I did it justice.Related to:

Find the big fishes!
I came across the rather lovely mosaic quite unexpectedly one evening, whilst wandering around the Long Wharf area.
I don't think it would be quite so obvious in daylight, but it really is worth a look after dark, when it is illuminated from behind.
The mosaic is made of 900+ pounds of tumbled recycled glass set in resin. The glass pieces resemble the sea-glass one finds on beaches around the world...soft colours and soft edges.
It was set in place in 2007, to mark the revitalisation of Boston's harbourfront area and 'the important role of the codfish' in Boston's history.
I thought it was very striking indeed.
It's called '255 State Street Sea Glass'. You'll find it set into the side of the building at the junction of Central Street and Atlantic Avenue.Related to:

Post Office Square Park...a shady spot.
Set amongst the concrete and brick of the Financial District, this little park (in two sections) is really rather lovely. Although privately-owned it is accessible to the public at all times.
There are trees and grass, flowerbed and benches and a rather nice sculpture of small animals which is very attractive to small children, several of whom I saw stroking the ducks, squirrels and turtles.
The park is also obviously much appreciated by local workers, judging by the number of them I saw eating their lunches in its shade
If you are wandering this part of Boston and fancy somewhere to sit and rest for a while the Post Office Square Park is just the spot, imo. The square has less traffic than one might expect, even on a weekday.
You'll find the park at the junction of Milk, Water, Pearl and Congress streets.Related to:

Have a splash!
The Rose Kennedy Greenway is a series of parks following the line of Atlantic Avenue and onwards.
The Greenway was created as a result of the 'Big Dig', a mega-project that put Interstate Highway 93 into a 6+km long tunnel....the elevatedsection which once carried the 93 has been replaced by grass and trees and sitting areas and plants and artworks.
I'm sure the Big Dig was a nightmare for Boston residents when it was underway, but the results have been worth it. The Greenway is a real asset and, on warm summer nights, I found its fountains were a huge draw for both local children and visitors.
There are complicate patterns of water spouts, 'steam' (which must be brilliant for children!) and coloured lights....a water paradise for little ones.
I really enjoyed spending a while watching kids and parents enjoy themselves. They were there in the daytime too, of course, but the evening lights made it a much more magical experience.
If you are wandering the Long Wharf area on a warm evening you might be tempted to play in the fountains too...even if you have no children with you! :-)
You'll find the set of fountains in my photo at the junction of Atlantic Avenue and Central Street, but I think there are several sets along the Greenway.Related to:

Boston Irish Famine Memorial
You will probably pass by this memorial, as it stands opposite the Old South Meeting House (dating from 1729). It's fairly new, unveiled in 1998.
My guidebook suggests that the 'presumably wealthy Bostonian family' are ignoring those ragged victims of the Famine who hold out their hands towards them.
I'm not so sure it is supposed to be Bostonians. I think it is probably supposed to be the British ignoring the victims...but the clothes are wrong.
An alternative view is that the 'wealthy' represents the Irish emigrants who escaped the Famine and made their way in America.
The sculpture annoyed me a little, to be honest. The clothes of the 'wealthy' (be they British or Bostonian) were entirely wrong for the period (mid 1800s)..so perhaps they *are* supposed to be a later, wealthier emigrant family looking back to the past?, And the rags of the female victim were far too skimpy. I felt the latter, especially, displayed a lack of knowledge and understanding I would not expect to find in a memorial. The New York memorial to the famine was far more appropriate and far more evocative, imo.
Seek it out and see what you think. There is no right or wrong, just personal opinion.
The most important thing is that the Irish Famine is remembered.
You will find the memorial at the junction of School Street and Washington Street, not far from Downtown Crossing T.Related to:

Liberty Square: seek it out.
Liberty Square is just a small square in the Financial District but it has a lot of history.
In 1765 Bostonians tore down the British Stamp Tax Office which stood here. Crikey!
In 1791 the square was named after the French Revolution, with a 'festive banquet' and a 21-gun salute.
And in 1986, a memorial to those who fought and died in the 1956 Hungarian Revolution was erected, and it was this which caught my eye.
I saw the triumphant woman first, of course. But do take the time to get a closer look, for all around the base which supports her you will see the faces of those who died.
I found this a very impressive memorial. Gyuri Hollosy was the sculptor.
Liberty Square lies on Water Street, between the Common and the waterfront.Related to:

Rather good murals
One of America's oldest bookshops, Brattle's is no doubt hugely attractive to those who enjoy browsing through secondhand books. There were certainly plenty of people around whenever I passed by.
But I enjoyed it when it was closed too, for the rather excellent murals in its outside area (where many books are displayed).
Even if you have no interest in secondhand or antiquarian books it is worth seeking out Brattles, after it has closed, just to enjoy the colourful murals on the 'outside sale lot's' walls and ...well, they're book-cupboards, I suppose.
You'll find it on 9 West Street, which runs between Tremont Street (bordering the eastern edge of the Common) and Washington Street.Related to:

ASUS Radeon EAH4870X2 Tri-Fan Graphics Card - Benchmarks - World in Conflict - XPThe HD 4870 X2 continues to be a current model for AMD/ATI and today we check out ASUS and its Tri-Fan model to see how the card's going.
World in Conflict
Version and / or Patch Used: 126.96.36.199
Timedemo or Level Used: Built-in Test
Developer Homepage: http://www.massive.se
Product Homepage: http://www.worldinconflict.com
World in Conflict is a real-time strategy video game by Massive Entertainment and to be published by Sierra Entertainment for Windows (DX9 and DX10) and the Xbox 360.
The game is set in 1989 where economic troubles cripple the Soviet Union and threaten to dissolve it. However, the title pursues a "what if" scenario where, in this case, the Soviet Union does not collapse and instead pursues a course of war to remain in power. It is an intensive new game is sure to put plenty of stress on even the latest graphics cards and we use the built-in benchmarking for our testing.
We again see the HD 4870 X2 scream along, showing the power of the dual GPU card compared to its single GPU siblings.

Stayed here with wife and kids for a week on a peewee hockey trip. I did not select the hotel and was skeptical. No need for that, this place is great. The pool, gardens, bay side is very tropical and much more than you would expect for the price. Don't hesitate to book here.
Great Location
Great Hotel and service. Staff some of the best I have seen. The grounds of this hotel is very tropical.
Good but not perfect
Just returned from a quick trip to St. Petersburg. We only spent 2 nights here as we split the trip up between 2 hotels in different areas. This hotel had good points and bad points but overall was a good choice. The directions given by the hotel website were very confusing-there is no street sign indicating the same name the hotel uses for it's address. We ended up driving around for 30 minutes and getting caught on the interstate over the 15 mile long bridge before we finally figured out where the hotel was. (I suggest maybe calling the hotel before hand to get directions once you get off the interstate).
Once we found the hotel, it was easy to get around and we were very close to grocery stores, Kmart and family friendly restaurants. The hotel is on a bay beach next to a marina with a beautiful view of the skyway bridge and nice sunrises, however on the other side is interstate I-275. The hotel was quiet, and the staff was extremely polite and helpful. (The jacuzzi needs better cleaning though.) We ate at the hotel restaurant one night (because it smelled so good from outside) , our waiter was polite but the wait for the food was so long.
Our appetitzers were delicious but the main course was bland. If you want a quiet beach experience, the hotel is a quick trip to Fort De Sota which is an undeveloped state park area named the #1 beach in continental US and if not, the hotel is also close to the more traditional beaches along the coast (where you fight for parking) and other tourist sites like the beautiful St. Petersburg Pier and Sunken Gardens. Overall, this hotel is a good choice for families, it is quiet, there is room to relax and play areas for the kids. If you are looking for a luxury spot on large beach with lots of excitement don't stay here.
Better than it looks, but...
at first appearance, it struck me as not so great. the buildings are old, but the insides of the rooms have obviously been remodeled. my room had a nice size fridge and a king size bed. pillows were better than some more expensive hotels i've been to. it was clean and nicely decorated with double glass to shield outside noises. my only complaint was the climate control. being used to central air conditioning with humidity control, the "window" a/c was noisy and hard to control the humidity level. it was plenty cold, though. the gym was very nice with plenty of cardio and a universal station. quite large considering.i would definately go there again if ever in the st. pete area.
The adverting brochures in my opinion are misleading...we booked a 4 night stay with this hotel 4 years ago for our long awaited vacation.
It was not a very nice spot. I wrote the hotel after we got back home and let them know i was upset and disappointed. 18 tropical acres...well it may be 18 acres but they are not tropical...its on a major highway....2 pools and jacuzzi - No one would ever want to swim in these pools of algae. The jacuzzi was green and slimy, not exactly a romantic time....and the list goes on and on....
Lovely bay view, nice playground and pools
Stayed over the 4/4 for an anniversay getaway in a bay view room. The room was clean, but, had some some maintanence problems such as a leaky air conditioner. Our view was wonderful of the bay and skyway bridge!
There were 2 nice pools, sand volleyball, and a nice playground. The restaurant had large portions and food equal to Olive Garden in price/taste. If staying with kids request a courtyard view room for easy access to the pool, grass, and play area. I wouldn't recommend bay or marina view with kids due to the fact the seawall and water are very close to the rooms and would be nervous of little ones. If you are looking to stay at the beach this is not the place for you because the "beach" is some sand along the bay where they rent jet skis. The "true beach" is about a 15 minute drive. If you just like to look at the water this is fine as it has easy access to I-295 to get to area attractions. Overall we were pleased as it suited our needs.
Great find!!
Was very worried when I first pulled into the parking lot. From the parking lot it appears to be a cheap motel off the highway. Its not until you go in the back that you see the beauty of this place. The pool is beautiful with a great view of the water and swaying palm trees. The gardens are nice and very well maintained. The rooms are sufficient. nothing more than the basic. Its basically budget motel accomadations combined with resort like amenities. nice staff, friendly. Recommended!! Also the beach bar is very cool. entertainment on some days.
Had a great time
What a great Resort we found. It is off a Interstate but the Gardens of the property were far beyond what we have seen at other properties. The rooms are maybe a little smaller than average but we did not care. We went to Florida to see things and enjoy the Sun. The Resort has two nice pools and is located on Tampa Bay. Not the Gulf of Mexico but the prices were allot more reasonable. They have Tennis and a very nice Beach Bar to relax in.The rooms were clean and the staff was extreamly friendly. We will go back and tell all our friends about this place.
Nice location, but...
I recently stayed there for a week and found the hotel somewhat disappointing. The room was not cleaned prior to check in. It was also not very well maintained. There were stains on the carpet, gouges in the wall, inconsistent water temperatures in the shower. House keeping never really cleaned the room completely. The bathroom was always dirty. The food in the restaurant was just OK. Nice view and the service was good.The heated pool looked like it was green from algae (it may have been clean but it didn't look all that appealing to swim in). However, the non-heated pool was nice. Given a choice, I would likely never stay there again.
Holiday Inn Marina Cove was sufficient
I was in St. Petersburg a couple of weeks ago for a business trip. This hotel was nice. The only thing I was wary about was that the rooms were accessed from the parking lot, and that there were no elevators to get luggage up to the 2nd floor rooms. Once we arrived, we saw that there was security on duty 24 hours. The room was sufficient - mine had 2 double beds, small fridge, coffee maker, and a hair dryer. Nothing fancy, but housekeeping was great. After eating breakfast at the restaurant one morning - we didn't go back, but found other places to eat on the way in to work. Since it was a business trip, we didn't spend a lot of time hanging out poolside so I can't speak to that.

Nothing is perfect
... an up and coming neighborhood. But there is a run down apartment bldg/motel that backs up to this property and I am not comfortable buying a house that would be empty much of the time in a rather mixed area. My guess is that this area will continue to improve and this property will increase in value. If we were younger and looking to invest for the future this would be a good bet. But we are looking for a place to use in the winter and leave for long periods of time. ...

I have a lot of reservations about getting a house rather than a condo, because there is no other entity who is responsible for caring for your place while you are gone. But is hard not to get excited. There is probably some problem with it that I can't see right now. But we are going to check it out on Friday (2/6). Report to ...

I have a class library that wraps the command line client for Mercurial.
My intention is to implement support for all the built-in commands, but in addition to those, there's a ton of extensions out there.
So I need to make my library extendable in the sense that both others and I can add support for extensions. I plan on adding support for some of the more popular and typical extensions (at the very least quite a few of those that come bundled with Mercurial), but I still want to be able to extend it from the outside.
At the moment, the syntax of a command look like this:
Repo.Execute(new CommitCommand
Message = "Your commit message",
AddRemove = true,
This, however, doesn't lend itself very easily to extensions, without the programmer feeling that the extension is just a tacked on part.
For instance, let's assume I expose a public collection of additional command line arguments, to that I could manually do this:
var cmd = new CommitCommand
Message = "Your commit message",
AddRemove = true,
There seems to be no easy way for me to get that additional extension added in such a way that it can be set as part of the object initializer.
I've been thinking of adding, or perhaps switching, to a fluent interface syntax. In this case, you could write something like this:
Repo.Execute(new CommitCommand()
.Message("Your commit message")
However, I see people don't like fluent interfaces, they feel they become too chatty.
What other options do I have?
What I want, basically:
- One common syntax style
- For both built-in things
- As well as extensions added by users of my library
I envision that users of my library would extend it by adding new classes, and extension methods to get intellisense support, but extension methods can't be used in object initializers, which means that all extensions look like some afterthought. That's not what I want.
Any ideas are welcome.

Launch Of the popular British brand of footwear in the city
Everything at the new Clarks store in Nungambakkam sounds delicious and looks gorgeous. The Kemble Biscuit, Biscuit Tin and Biscuit Crumb made of caramel leather while Un Bethany and Un Chelsea are made of fuchsia leather and violet patent. And with names like these, you sometimes forget that you're talking about shoes.
With a history spanning 200 years in shoemaking, this premier brand which has outlets across 100 countries, has now entered the city less than a year after entering the Indian market. "We're the oldest brand when it comes to footwear, and are the forerunners in innovative design. Our brand introduced concepts such as width fitting, where you can get wider shoes, as also the global store concept. The store you see here looks exactly like any of our stores across the world," says Gautham Raheja, marketing head, Clarks.
The store now showcases its Winter 2011 collection — caramel-heeled boots and sporty combi shoes. "We have incorporated a lot of new technology in our shoes. Unstructured is a new concept where the sole takes the weight off the shoe, making it lighter and easier to wear. Active Air, especially for women, absorbs shock and gives good underfoot cushioning," he explains.
And Clarks comes with one promise this year, to make you Walk Tall. "If you feel good about what you're wearing, you tend to walk tall, with confidence. That's what we try to do for you. We consider ourselves a mid to premium range brand with shoes priced between Rs. 1,200 and Rs. 8,000."
While the shoes maintain their British style, there are some improvisations to suit Indian needs. "We've opened 12 stores across India so far. Although the style of dressing and footwear here is different, the brand hopes to retain its original flavour," says Gautham. There is a range specially designed for the Indian market.
Clarks will be opening stores in Bengaluru and Hyderabad soon.
The store is located at No. 9, Khader Nawaz Khan Road, Nungambakkam.
