Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 488 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cheryl40 Great hotel I would stay at the Westin again. It was reasonable priced. It's a beautiful hotel. It's with in walking distance to downtown, the wine train and many restaurants. I especially liked that they had a running program and took advantage of a 3 mile run with one of the staff members. All hotels should have a program like that. Carol Ann at the Gloria Curry spa was also fanastic. The one negative is that there is no refridgerator in the room. Other than that it was a fantastic hotel January 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Newts A great stay for a visit to Napa. We stayed at the Westin Verasa for two nights during our trip to Napa and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is beautiful, modern, and clean, and the staff is extremely friendly. Due to the various dining options in the Napa area, we typically left hotel grounds for meals. We did, however, order appetizers by the pool after our wine tours. The food was very good and was timely delivered. I have to admit, because it was our anniversary and I'm a SPG member, I was hoping that we'd get a complimentary room upgrade at check-in. Unfortunately we didn't; rather, we were informed that it would cost an extra $80.00 per night for a room upgrade. In absolutely no way was this a major problem though. I would certainly stay at the hotel again and would recommend it as an affordable option to friends visiting wine country. September 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen247 Relaxing Experience This hotel was well located and had very comfortable and large rooms. Good location to Oxbow Market and downtown Napa. The front desk staff was very friendly and greeted us as SPG members. We didn't get an upgrade, but understand it's high season for Napa Valley since we travel there a lot. Can't wait to visit there again! Will have to make sure we arrive on a Thursday or a Saturday, though, since Friday evening drive traffic from the airport was miserable in peak season.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jess83 The staff was amazing We enjoyed our four night stay at this hotel! One aspect that really left a mark was the professionalism of the staff. They were all so friendly and helpful an it made our stay so enjoyable. The hotel is also very clean and well kept. We enjoyed little perks such as the free house car for rides into Napa, the valet parking, the full kitchenette in our room, the wine and hors d'oeuvres in the lobby from 5-7pm daily, etc. I would definitely return and recommend this hotel!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MT2013 Wonderful time! We stayed for three nights - two without children and one with. They upgraded our room and had a bottle of champagne and signed note from the staff congratulating us on our anniversary. We were so impressed! Its walking distance to Ox Bow market which we and the children loved! Amazing food! We woke up every morning and went to Model Bakery for breakfast which is heaven! The pool was warm enough to swim in even in February. We are already looking forward to going back. February 27, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by FBERKNM Service underwhelming-Still a good option for Starwood folks. My second review of this facility. The facility is good, although the layout reminds one of the walk from front desk of a casino to a room-very long! A key problem forced a long, frustrating walk back to the front desk, with a lengthy wait in line. The hotel does not appear to be staffed for peak loads. Too long waits at the front desk, too long waits for your car or luggage. We will stay there again, but will adjust our time expectations based on service constraints. July 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by KJBM Fabulous suite We had a wonderful time from the moment we drove up the front drive until we pulled away 2 days later. We stayed in a suite that had two full bathrooms, a living room, full kitchen, patio off our room. Everything was perfect from our front desk employee Johnny who took care of us perfectly upon arrival, recognising our Gold status and making me completely happy. By the time we left we were so relaxed and didn't want to leave and only want to come back again. July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dave678 Great location, friendly staff, trendy Great location for all things Napa downtown. Trendy hotel with a friendly staff, especially the valet service. However, didn't like how they charge for things that are usually complimentary at other hotels (ex: coffee/tea). Would've given it 5 stars if it weren't for missing details: didn't have enough towels, and ran out of shampoo and tea bags on the first day but never restocked. Other than those few things, it's an overall great hotel - definitely recommend it! September 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nicdave Away from the kids! I am a mom of 3 young kids and this was the first time away from them. I went to Napa with my sisters! It was most wonderful. THe hotel was beautiful, the room was warm, and I loved my time away. One thing did happen that upset me (may not upset others). I am a nursing mom and had to bring my breastpump to save milk. I asked the front desk if they could freeze my milk, and graciously said yes! They made a comment that I didn not have a fridge in my room but I did. I asked them to freeze my milk again. I even dropped milk off again and asked them to put it with the other milk that was in the freezer. When I went to pick it up on day of check out, NONE of it had been put in the freezer. THis made my trip on the airplane home much more difficult. IF it weren't for this issue my mini getaway vacation would have been perfect! April 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by roundtheworld85 Perfect stay in Napa We only had one night here at the Westin in Napa but it was just perfect. From the courteous valet and front desk staff to the concierge, everyone at this hotel was very focused on making us feel welcome. My partner and I spent about 10 minutes talking with the concierge and planning our day and she was extremely helpful. All her suggestions were perfect for us with a beautiful winery tour, great wines, and a delicious dinner. Thanks a lot for the memorable stay! September 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marymom Napa Valley Prescious Gem Visiting wine country, staying at a B & B seems cute and quaint - but it is usually uncomfortable - lack of privacy, small rooms, etc. We were very surprised at how absolutely wonderful is the Westin Verasa. Ideal location - a block to the Oxbow Market - a dream place for avid cooks and eaters - and just ten minutes walk to downtown Napa with many terrific restaurants. Our greeting was warm and seemed very genuine - check-in smooth - spacious room with kitchenette we didn't use because all the good food surrounding us. Chef Ken Frank of one-star Michellin La Toque also seems to oversee the regular restaurant - the breakfasts were very good. One really reliable aspect of a Westin are the beds - and this was no exception. Oh, I can't forget the hotel has a car and driver that is at the service of guests every evening - nice touch! July 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Melodywak35 Got engaged here Booked a Deluxe suite for one night. I had been here before and loved the experience. The beds are definitely heavenly and the duck burger we ordered for lunch was magnificent. After lunch, we went out on the balcony were I was surprised with a shiny engagement ring. The room, the food, the wine and the ring made it the best time I have ever stayed in Napa. The staff is also very friendly and I would recommend this hotel to anyone who plans to visit Napa.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Greg25 Our new favorite CA retreat My family and I have been visiting CA resorts since the 1980s. There are many amazing resorts available, some are Starwoods properties. However, the Napa Versa is our absolute favorite...The service is great, the atmosphere is great, the French bistro is extraordinary...Everything is really great... Starwoods...thank you so so much for creating such a wonderful place. BTW, I shared my birthday at the Napa Versa this year...and, it was most memorable. March 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by DrC8600 Below SPG standards Finished business a day early. Had to wait 10 minutes with another guest to check out! Front desk was unattended for 10 minutes at 7AM? When front desk clerk showed up he told me I'd be charged for early departure. 1) Reservation says notify property before 6pm day of stay. This was at around 7AM. 2) Was supposed to receive resort credit of $10 per day to reduce $20 resort fee to $10. I was billed full $20. Not sure I can recommend this property. June 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LindaCPA Beautiful Hotel - Our room not so great Hotel is beautiful and so close to many activities that don't necessarily require driving. This time our room was not so good due to being located right over the main HVAC units and the trash dumpsters. View from the balcony was the dumpsters and 6am wake up call came from the trash company. We have stayed here in the past and have had a lovely stay. This room just didn't have the luxury that we have had in the past. The property is beautiful, however. January 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trish41 One of the best we have experienced My husband and I celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary at the Westin and it certainly did not disappoint. The staff was great and very helpful. They even sent up a bottle of champagne. Our room was wonderful and one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. It was huge and had a wonderful kitchen and a very large and nice bathroom. It had a large separate king bedroom and a balcony. We hated to leave and look forward to returning to this Westin in Napa. June 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by phildo45 not happy internet didnt work in our room, hairdryer was grymy, sticky all over (weird) and our room was tiny and we could hear the guests next door talking and had to listen to their TV from early in the morning until late at night. The front desk were weak. I had to politely suggest they not charge us for the internet given that it didnt work! Really! The wireless signal strength was pretty much zero on both our Apple and Blackberry products. Overpriced!!! August 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Peter3 Nice Hotel in Napa This was a great hotel to stay at for the long MLK weekend, for me and my fiancee. The room was spacious and luxurious, and within walking distance to Oxbow market. The valet parking was also a nice touch! Only downside about this hotel is that it is not in downtown (where most of the dining and hanging out spots are), but it is within walking distance. Also, the gym was smaller than what I was expecting, and there is no separate spa for massages. January 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sonny85142 The Bank bar is a "real" bar... Don't miss it! For me the best feature of the hotel was the level of service my colleagues and I received at The Bank bar. We know how to party pretty hard and Bobby & Jonathan, the key people who took care of us, were knowledgeable, fun, friendly, creative, and delivered excellent service across all dimensions. I knew I was destined for an excellent bar experience when I first arrived and saw no fewer than 11 bitters bottles on the bar then later learned that they use home-made ginger beer, home-made orgeat, and that one of the guys makes and bottles his own beverage called "The Treasury Bond". It was a cool and refreshing drink given the heat wave that was hitting Napa while I was there. If you are looking for a great bar experience - whether you are drinking wine or are more adventurous, I highly recommend an evening at The Bank. I know for sure that I'll be back. July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by leighf1111 Almost there... Great location, rooms and very friendly staff. Napa relies on concierge services, so when the concierge is not in (which was the case over the 4th of July weekend) things fell short. A reservation at a winery could not be found upon arrival, and a dinner reservation was inadvertently cancelled when it was supposed to be changed. Also, the poolside amenities could be improved. Otherwise, a great hotel that we will absolutely visit again. July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by excellence location of room we had an excellent stay. great facility, food, meeting rooms and great staff. one note of concern for future guests , is room 2008 which is right above the valet / main enterance. rm has a partical view due to the over hang & very loud noise coming from below with cars in and out along with the valet guys talking. Woke us up at 7am on Sunday. While the room was nicely done and had all the comforts, I would suggest you charge less for that room January 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BillN Meets high expectations This top hotel is withing walking distance of everything downtown Napa has to offer. We enjoyed a spacious well appointment suite looking out onto the planted back side; front rooms might not be quite as special, but there would be a view of the wine train station and the center of town a few blocks beyond. The restaurant is definitely gourmet quality, but it does not take itself overly seriously and is fairly priced relative to the experience. April 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ustwo Hotel is convenient to downtown old town Napa. Not great. Arrived in town early, let the front desk know that we were in town, the said they would give us a call on our cell when ready, and would have the maids make up our room next. No call, 2 1/2 hours later, checked back, not ready. Would get ready right away, now 2:30, sat in bar for 40 minutes, no call to our cell. Went to desk, gave us a room, previously requested a quiet room not overlooking the pool, but that is what we were given, Back to the front desk, they gave us another room, but they must have been unaware that a convention in the garden, just below our room. was going on that night from 6 to 9 PM, was very noisy. Did not appreciate the mold still on the ceiling and walls in the shower area, pretty gross for a Westin. The toilet ran slow too. Overall, we were not impressed, and will not return to that particular Westin Verasa. April 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Glow77 Very comfortable bed A little disappointed with our last nights stay. Our room had no power the morning of our departure and the first person my wife spoke to said we would have to shower near the work out facility because the hotel was booked the night before and rooms had not been cleaned. That statement was absolutely ridiculous and came across as very cold hearted. Once I went to the front and spoke to another young lady she was embarrassed and did everything she could to help out, including bringing up flashlights. $100.00 was discounted on our 4 day stay which was adequate for the inconvenience but certainly not over the top. Thank goodness we did not have a flight to catch. I would still go back and highly recommend because things happen and I would not let one employees lack of compassion outweigh all the wonderful experiences we had with other staff members. July 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by csp0714 Thoughts Was disappointed with the lack of daily newspaper, lack of TOILET PAPER (had to call TWO, separate days for a simple necessity), no shower caps. Did not receive any preferential treatment, whatsoever. Room was VERY NOISY from rooms next door, poor soundproofing. Loved the wine tasting, lovely, special treat. Front bellman were very nice, warm smiles. Housekeeping was generally rather unfriendly. Surprised no turn down service, as well. June 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RaiderRic Business meeting turned into vacation! My wife and I attended an industry conference the first week of June at the Westin Verasa Napa. The meeting was fine, but the service at the hotel and the attention by the courteous staff was memorable. Being a long time SPG member, I have come to expect this from Westin/Starwood properties, but I thought I would drop a line and report that we had a great stay in Napa and will (have already!) recommend the Verasa Napa to our friends! June 8, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ronald62 Napa dissapointed Dissapointed by this hotel. Love the Westin chain, however this time the internet in the room almost non-existent, very slow. Nothing that could be done, they said. Very noisy, just above the valet. Heard same from others with room near the pool. Got the morning yogurt dropped on my pants and jacket by the waiter. all in all, wished I stayed elsewhere, even expensive rates for a monday-friday stay. Time to look at a new chain. sorry. November 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kackalack Love Napa and Verasa! Hotel is beautiful, the staff was so warm and welcoming. The rooms were large, cozy, and clean. The nightly happy hour was a nice touch in the lobby, especially on Monday night with the roll in TV for football :) Location was fabulous, we used the free shuttle which was super convienient and the driver was great with his suggestions on dining in the town. Would highly reccomend this hotel to anybody traveling to napa or even sonoma! November 11, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Traveler78 Disappointed I had high hopes for this hotel, but unfortunately it did not live up to our expectations. First, the door to our bathroom was a sliding door with no latch that continued to slide open due to the slant of the hotel. This was a major annoyance, since we literally could not close the bathroom door. Secondly, the hotel was loud-- both with kids in the halls in the morning, and a strange pulsing noise we heard all night from our room. November 30, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by chaser08 Nice room, horrible service Room was good, that's it. Have never had such ridiculous service. Orders were forgotten or completely messed every time (both room service and pool service). Of course when we asked to be corrected it would take 30 minutes. Asked for manager twice but was not available, nobody followed up until we were checking out and asked again. For 700/night we expected premium service and overall facilities were pretty average for that price. August 26, 2013

In response to:
Dear Mrs. Pomerantz, Not a bad column for a well intentioned query. My Father in Law is set in his ways when it comes to paying the check for a Birthday gathering, normally at a chain restaurant. I steal it sometimes. It's become a game, as to: who can get the waitress to give the check to whom. One of these days, I'm going to tell the server to give it to him! BUT, my 28 yo nephew, has started to pay for his own.... I'm 50, he's 80. Definite limited income. I can get overtime, sometimes. Kinda like your gym membership idea for an old folk not getting enough exercise, we bought him a riding mower, because he would not cotton a "lawn service". Little things add up, over time, but they must be specific to the needs of the individuals one is trying to assist. We contribute greatly to those Feast times, but always keep in mind the desires of the hosts, and the cleanup time and effort. Hope this helps get more young'un's helping out us blue hairs! Haven't we done enough to put them behind the "8 ball" already??? Not a fan, but every now and again, you do well. JS

5 things we learned as Alexander Khokhlachev played the shootout hero for Bruins
|11.21.14 at 9:54 pm ET
The Bruins were in danger of extending their road woes, but they came out of a shaky performance in Columbus with two points thanks to an injury replacement.
Alexander Khokhlachev, filling in for the injured David Krejci, netted the only goal of a seven-round shootout to give the Bruins a 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets (box). The Bruins overcame a 2-0 deficit with three third-period goals to take a 3-2 lead on Daniel Paille's first goal of the season, but Jack Johnson responded to tie the game at three apiece.
Boston can only hope Friday's win can set them up for further road success in the coming weeks. The Bruins have three straight games at home against some tough opponents (the Canadiens Saturday and the Penguins Monday before wrapping up the homestand against the Jets), but after that they'll embark upon a very challenging four-game West Coast road trip. With any luck, they'll be healthier then.
Here are four other things we learned Friday night:
Krejci missed yet another game Friday, his 10th of the season. The first-line center has battled lower-body issues all season and has not played in consecutive games since Oct. 28 and 30.
Earlier this week, Adam McQuaid explained what it's like to go through a situation like Krejci's. McQuaid was in and out of the lineup last season with lower-body injuries that eventually cost him his season after 30 games.
"It's hard," McQuaid said. "If you're feeling good, you're going to go. If you're feeling good, you're not going to take extra time if you don't feel like you need it. Hopefully when he's back, he's back and back to stay."
With Krejci and Brad Marchand out of the lineup, Boston forward lines were as follows:
Fraser – Bergeron – Smith
Kelly - Soderberg - Eriksson
Lucic - Khokhlachev - Griffith
Paille - Campbell – Gagne
In another potential injury development, Dougie Hamilton did not play the last 9:24 of regulation and stayed on the bench throughout overtime as well. Hamilton missed Wednesday's practice with what the team called the flu, though he practiced Thursday.
David Krejci misses Friday's game vs. Blue Jackets
|11.21.14 at 7:19 pm ET
David Krejci was back out of the Bruins' lineup Friday night as the B's faced the Blue Jackets in Columbus.
Krejci, who has been in and out of the lineup this season due to lower-body injuries, has now missed 10 games this season. He missed the first three of the season, played nine, missed two, returned for one, missed four more and then played Tuesday against the Blues before coming back out of the lineup Friday.
It is unknown whether Krejci's absence Friday was related to previous injuries. Alexander Khokhlachev centered Milan Lucic and Seth Griffith in his place.

Bruins recall F Alexander Khokhlachev from Providence
|11.21.14 at 1:12 pm ET
The Bruins called up forward Alexander Khokhlachev from AHL Providence on an emergency basis so that he will be eligible for Friday's road game against the Blue Jackets.
Khokhlachev, a 5-foot-11, 184-pounder, has a team-high five goals along with 11 assists and a plus-2 rating.
The 21-year-old from Moscow was selected by the Bruins in the second round of the 2011 draft.
Bruins not talking contract with Dougie Hamilton, Carl Soderberg yet
|11.20.14 at 3:58 pm ET
Dougie's Big Contract is on hold, for now.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the salary cap going forward, the Bruins and agent J.P. Barry have yet to begin formal discussions on a new contract for defenseman Dougie Hamilton, who will be a restricted free agent at season's end. Same goes for Carl Soderberg and Daniel Paille, both of whom will be unrestricted free agents this summer and are also represented by Barry.
Barry and Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli have been talking regularly, the agent told WEEI.com Thursday, but the longtime agent said he has no problem being patient as the Bruins wait and see what kind of contracts they can offer Hamilton and their other players with expiring deals.
The agent, who also represents Loui Eriksson and has a good relationship with Chiarelli, sees no reason for concern at this point, saying "I'll know when Peter's ready."
Hamilton is in the midst of the final year of his entry level contract. He leads the Bruins with a 22:34 average time on ice and is tied for third on the team with 11 points (tops among B's defensemen). Playing mostly against other team's top players both as Zdeno Chara's partner and his replacement, Hamilton carries an even rating through 20 games. He is also one of two Bruins defensemen to play every game this season, with the other being Dennis Seidenberg.
The Bruins currently have $49,897,857 committed against the cap to 10 players (not counting Marc Savard) for the 2015-16 season. The cap ceiling is $69 million this season; the Bruins traded Johnny Boychuk prior to the season in order to get under it.
There was an expectation that the cap would increase by $5 million or more next season, but the New York Post reported reported earlier this month that the projected decline in the Canadian dollar might prevent the NHL Players' Association from exercising a five-percent escalator for next season. The escalator will be voted on in June.
Asked about the future of the cap and how it impacts how the Bruins will do their business, Bruins president Cam Neely didn't get into specifics but admitted the Bruins are doing every calculation they can.
"We're constantly thinking about future years," Neely said. "As much as we put a lot of time and effort and thought into the current year, we look at where our team is going to be next year and the following year, especially when you have guys that have contracts coming up or you have guys with term. You always have to look at the math."
Historically, Chiarelli has prioritized getting new deals done for his players either before they enter their contract year or during it, with David Krejci, Marc Savard and Rich Peverley among the players he has re-upped in-season over the years.
Cam Neely: Zdeno Chara 'getting closer'
|11.20.14 at 3:17 pm ET
It's been four weeks to the day since Zdeno Chara suffered a torn PCL on Oct. 23 against the Islanders. His anticipated recovery time was 4-6 weeks.
Chara has been seen around the team at various points, his limp subsiding in the weeks following his injury as he's walked through the press box at games and – if you can believe it — even eaten from the dessert tray on the ninth floor of TD Garden. He could be seen doing agility drills in the hallway Tuesday morning, but he has yet to be spotted on the ice.
"He's getting closer," Cam Neely said Thursday. "I mean, you put that time between when he got hurt and now, there's been a lot of forward progress for him."
Neely said that Chara has handled being out of the lineup well. Given his competitive nature and the fact that he hasn't missed more than five games in any of his previous eight seasons, this might not be the easiest time for the Bruins' captain.
"It's frustrating for anybody that's been out of the lineup for any length of time," Neely said. "Regardless of if you've been relatively healthy your whole career, no one likes watching."
Injuries mean jobs: Bruins' young defensemen should seize moment like those before them
|11.20.14 at 3:14 pm ET
Peter Chiarelli will probably never say how many NHL defensemen he thinks he has again.
Since saying that he felt he had nine this offseason, the number has been tested significantly. After trading one of them in Johnny Boychuk, Chiarelli has seen five of his defensemen get hurt in the first 20 games of the season. Of the nine NHL-caliber defensemen Chiarelli said he felt the Bruins possessed, the only three who haven't suffered an injury this season have been Dennis Seidenberg, Dougie Hamilton and Matt Bartkowski.
That is rough, rough stuff for the Bruins, but it does allow that list of NHL defensemen to get longer. Games played as injury replacements have been the avenue to the NHL for many of Boston's young defensemen, with Hamilton really the only one who was actually given a job to begin his NHL career.
Adam McQuaid filled in for an injured Mark Stuart and took his job in 2011. Torey Krug and Matt Bartkowski earned their sweaters in the 2013 postseason. Kevan Miller and Zach Trotman got their feet wet a season ago with injuries to various blueliners, while Joe Morrow initially came up to replace the struggling Bartkowski this season but will remain in the lineup in part because of Boston's ailing back end.
Krug thinks that's a respectable way to become an NHL player. He feels jumping in to replace a hurt player leaves less room for thinking, which is a good way to avoid mistakes for a young player.
"It doesn't leave you time to think about what could happen or what could go wrong, because you're the only option," he said. "They're putting you in the game and you've just got to go out and do your thing. All the guys that have gone out and done so so far have taken the right mindset.
"That's the only reason I'm here right now, is because there was an opportunity with a couple guys hurt in the playoffs, and I [made] the best of it. I think these guys are doing a good job of taking these opportunities and running with it. It's fun when you earn things like that."
McQuaid had gotten off to a very encouraging start to this season coming off an injury-plagued 2013-14 campaign that saw him dress in only 30 games. With a broken thumb putting his season on hold for 6-8 weeks, the Bruins have to go back to their group of young defensemen for bigger and tougher minutes.
That won't be easy, but given the job that Miller did replacing him last season and the play they've gotten from other young blueliners, the Bruins are confident they can handle the loss.
"Is it a silver lining? It is in a way because we really felt we had some good depth on the back end," Claude Julien said. "I think it's showing now. Whoever we bring up seems to be doing a decent job. A lot of guys that are here now are going to make it difficult for us when it's all said and done. There's a pretty good competition going again on our back end."
Morrow, a 2011 first-round pick, has proven to be a better NHL player than he was an AHL player. Trotman, meanwhile, was replaced by Bartkowski on Saturday and eventually sent to Providence, but now he's back with the NHL club. Neither player was on Chiarelli's unofficial list of nine this summer, but they can add their names to it with strong performances.
Given their injuries, the Bruins' list of NHL-caliber defensemen isn't anything like what it was in the offseason, but as players return to the lineup, the B's could eventually find themselves at a point where they have more guys capable of handling NHL minutes than they did immediately after trading Boychuk.
"I think that number's grown," Krug said. "You're witnessing Joe come in and do a great job, and Trots is getting the experience and he's doing well. I think that number's getting higher and higher. Hopefully at some point, we have that many guys that the coaching staff has to make a decision who to play."
Brad Marchand out for Bruins Friday vs. Blue Jackets
|11.20.14 at 3:09 pm ET
Brad Marchand will not travel with the Bruins to Columbus, coach Claude Julien said after Thursday's practice. Marchand participated in the practice, but shared left wing duties on his line with Matt Fraser.
Friday's game against the Blue Jackets will be the second consecutive contest Marchand has missed due to an undisclosed injury that was suffered in Saturday's win over the Hurricanes. Julien said that Marchand is "doing better," but that he remains day-to-day and the team wants to give him more time to recover.
Dougie Hamilton practiced Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice with the flu.

David Backes C STL 7 days ago
Backes picked up an assist on the winning goal Tuesday in a 3-2 overtime win against Pittsburgh. He was plus-1 with four shots and two blocked shots in the contest.
Backes is up to 54 points on the season to go with a plus-7 rating, which is just about equal to his production from a year ago. He remains a solid second center for your fantasy team and although he has slowed down since a scorching hot January and February, he is a must-start every night.
David Backes C STL 1 week ago
Backed picked up a power play assist Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the Wild. He was minus-2 and took one hot in the contest.
Backes pushed his current scoring streak to five games and has 12 points in his last 10 games. He has 53 points on the season to go along with 96 PIM and 201 hits once again cementing his reputation as one of the league's top power forwards. He's a top fantasy player in leagues that count hits and PIM.
David Backes C STL 2 weeks ago
Backes scored the Blues' lone goal in Thursday's 2-1 shootout loss to Winnipeg, giving him a four-game point streak.
Backes has simply been unstoppable of late, with six points over the course of this streak and a whopping 11 over his last nine contests. He's as good as they come in the category of points-and-PIM contributors.
David Backes C STL 2 weeks ago
Backes handed out a pair of assists and picked up an empty-net goal Tuesday in a 4-0 win over Calgary.
The goal was a peculiar sort of empty-netter, coming as it did with 5:35 remaining in the third period after the Flames pulled goalie Jonas Hiller absurdly early in a desperation play. Backes now has points in three straight and has rattled off a sizzling total of 10 (four goals, six assists) in his last eight games.
David Backes C STL 3 weeks ago
Backes picked up a pair of assists, went plus-1 and was stuck with a minor penalty Tuesday in a win over the Jets.
Backes' well-rounded fantasy stat line just keeps getting rounder and rounder, as he's coming up on 50 points, which goes awfully well with his 94 PIM and 189 hits. He's also picked up five points in his last four games. In fantasy formats that use those tough-guy categories, he's gold.
David Backes C STL 3 weeks ago
Backes scored his 22nd goal of the season Saturday in a 6-1 win over Toronto. He was plus-1 with four PIM, two shots, and three hits in the contest.
Backes has three goals and four points in his past six games to bring him to 44 points on the season. He is one of the league's best power forwards with 186 hits and 92 PIM on top of his usual steady scoring. Roll him everyday.
David Backes C STL 1 month ago
Backes scored his 21st goal of the season, dished out an assist and recorded seven hits in Sunday's loss to the Canucks.
A good all-around fantasy outing from Backes, who now has 43 points and 88 PIM in 63 games. Centering the top line, the 30-year-old is a reliable goal-scorer who contributes in multiple fantasy categories.
David Backes C STL 1 month ago
Backes scored his 20th goal of the season Wednesday in a 5-2 loss to Montreal. He was plus-1 with three shots, four hits, and two blocks in the contest.
Backes reaches the 20-goal mark for the fourth consecutive full season (not counting the lockout) and has 41 points on the year. After a scorching hot January and early February, this was his first point in four games. Backes played with T.J. Oshie and Patrik Berglund in this one and the trio had some chemistry - hopefully it will start another hot streak for Backes.
David Backes C STL 1 month ago
Backes picked up 12 PIM and dished out four hits in Saturday's loss to the Penguins.While he's been held pointless in four straight games, the gritty top-line center has picked up 16 PIM in that span. He's got 19 goals and 40 points in 58 games and should get back on the scoresheet soon enough. He's on track for another 25-goal, 55-point season.
David Backes C STL 2 months ago
Backes scored the game-winning goal among his four shots, added on a assist, went plus-3 and racked up four PIM in Thursday's win over the Lightning.Now that's cross-category contribution -- but it's something Backes owners should be accustomed to, as their man has provided one of the finest points-and-PIM combos in the league, as usual. After going buck-wild in January, he's calmed down in February, but remains a consistent fantasy contributor.

Research Shows Mushrooms May Be Replacing Meat
Mushrooms have long been meat substitutes for vegetarians, but now they may be replacing beef in the mainstream arena.
Recently, Amy Myrdal, director of programs and culinary nutrition for the Culinary Institute of America, and Jean-Xavier Guinard, a University of California, Davis sensory scientist, conducted an experiment in which 147 participants sampled eight dishes that had various ratios of mushrooms and meat. One dish contained 100 percent beef, one contained 50 percent meat and 50 percent mushroom, and one contained 20 percent beef and 80 percent white mushroom. The results, which were presented at the Mushrooms and Health Summit, showed that a majority of the participants preferred the blend that was half mushrooms more than the blend that was 100 percent meat. These findings may help further the trend of Americans' reducing their meat intake due to health and economic concerns.

Possible Sony Xperia Z4 front housing leaked, no waterproofing
Now that we're over the MWC 2015 chaos, maybe it's time to put our attention to the devices that will be coming up within the year, more specifically, Sony's new flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z4. There was a crazy rumor that it was going to be unveiled in January – so soon after the launch of the Xperia Z3 – but that proved false. In fact, it didn't launch as expected at the MWC as well.

Galcon As Object Lesson in iPhone App Development and Refreshing
Though an entire essay could be written on the subject of Phil Hassey's Galcon, one of the earliest really good games for the iPhone and iPod touch, we're not going to do that today. Instead, we're going to point to just a few things that are really interesting about where Galcon sits today at version 1.7, priced at $3, versus where it was when we reviewed it back in August of 2008 when it debuted for $10.
Galcon retains the simple but very effective planet-conquering gameplay that really showed off the value of a touchscreen back a year ago, with some additional enhancements.
It added a multiplayer online mode in version 1.2.
It received music in version 1.3.
And now it has received a substantial graphic redesign, including everything from the logo to the backgrounds and fonts.
The first pair of screenshots is Galcon from August, 2008. The next are from the new version of Galcon, which is in the App Store now. If you didn't check it out last year, now's the time, for sure. Due to the past updates, which have kept on making the title better, it's one of only a handful of iPhone OS releases that we have kept permanently in our iTunes Library awaiting updates over the past year.
Related Stories
A bold and noble move. I hope their substantial investment in preparing this overhaul this pays off for them, considering the necessarily-free upgrades for all current owners.
I wouldn't mind seeing Apple allowing developers to charge for upgrades sooner rather than later (I'm sure it's on their list of improvements). This would provide incentive for developers to continue improving quality in substantial amounts.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 262 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by mpol One of the best business hotels out there, but... I love this place. I stay a few times every month. A truly great business hotel (for the US). Love the lobby/bar and food. The rooms are also excellent and the staff is great, BUT...Plat upgrades are frustrating. I've had no problem using SNAs, but every time when i check-in i ask if I've been upgraded and they say no rooms are available. And we have to do this familiar dance. I pull out of my phone, show them availability on the app for the exact dates. Politely, I say i can call the SPG Plat concierge to double check and-- what do you know? -- availability appears and they magically have a suite upgrade...I just wish they didn't make it so difficult and try to game the system. And you'd think they would at least recognize I stay there a few times each month. February 12, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by kevbot Great Stay, Poor Front Desk Experience I had a great stay with my wife for her birthday. The hotel was very accommodating of our dog even providing him with a bed and pair of food and water bowls. My wife appreciated the note and cookies left in our room celebrating her birthday. When booking the room I just booked the lowest rate I found on SPG.com but at check in was told that the rate was too low to honor my Platinum status. This was disappointing. I was sure it was an eligible rate but decided against pursuing the issue. I did, however, confirm the next day with Corporate Customer Care that the rate was, in fact, an eligible rate and should have all Platinum benefits honored. August 7, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by StarwoodSnob Not all Westins are create equal... I was excited to explore the city of Frisco and of course the local Westin. I am a proud Starwood Snob and especially enjoy the Westin experience. Unfortunately, the Stonebriar left me disappointed and underwhelmed. The staff members were unattentive and the rooms are in need of a remodel. I ordered room on the first nights...75 minutes later I was still waiting. I initially appreciated the apology and the fact that the hotel took care of the bill until I actually received my food. My fries were cold and the wings were dry and overcooked. The bathrooms were nice and updated, but that is where it ended. The room decor was dated and damaged. As a Platinum member, I've experienced Westin properties all over the US and other countries. I know what to expect and this Westin did not my expectations. January 1, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by DenDen Wtach out for Housekeeping. The stff at this hotel were more than friendly and helpful. Good bar and service. But the hotel was a big disappointment. We paid for an upgrade to a "view" room and had the vies of the air conditioning housing complete with cigarette butts all over it. The one glass door (there is no window) was filthy and had not been cleaned in years. The beds are ponderous and uncomfortable. The Duvets were soiled and smelled of past inhabitants. Minimal toiletries, one shampoo and one conditioner. We had no housekeeping on our last day, consequently no fresh towels or sheets. Minimal bottled water given in the room and the tap water and bath water is loaded with Sulfur. October 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Princely Texas Style Hotel is located on a Fazio golf course shared with Stonebriar Country Club in Frisco. The ambiance is Texas comfort with gorgeous views of the course in a peaceful setting. The staff were incredibly nice, and the breakfast buffet was memorable. Location is perfect for business with several corporate HQ's within minutes, as well as the Stonebriar Mall (one of the nicest in North Texas) October 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Valarian Beautiful hotel in great surroundings. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Westin Stonebriar this past weekend. The staff without exception, were all friendly and helpful. My request for a feather free room was met and I was informed upfront at the check-in. The room was beautiful, the bed was wonderful! All in all, the stay was just a joy. January 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by bess transportation Stay was great, the only problem I ran into was transportation to the airport. I asked for a 5 am cab to get me to the airport, he was 30 min late. I jumped in with another service that was $35 and your hotel employee came out an made us jump in the cab that had just pulled up behind us 30 min late. We arrived at the airport in this town car and we were charged $75, and believe me its not the money. This seems to me you may have some kick backs going on and I missed my flight. I felt the customer needs came second. Attention to the customer needs are in order. This was the last impression of the hotel. November 14, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rick1533 This place needs a lot of improvement! Although the hotel was no even close to occupancy , I was place at the very end of the 2nd floor wing--never asked if i had a preference or was it satisfactory---having driven all day, I wanted to have dinner but was told the dining room no longer served dinner so I would have to have dinner in the bar. Dining in a bar is not my idea of pleasant experience---first no tablecloths, no place mats, no napkins, no silverware---I had to ask for silverware and was brought a spoon--then I had to ask for crackers and was told they had non---then I asked for a napkin----while I was in there---only the people sitting at the bar were drinkers the remainder of people at the tables were having dinner--- Looks like you may need to think this out a little better----I was not the only person there that was disappointed with service as well as having dinner in the bar. Having stayed at this place so many times in the past---I can say it certainly is not what I remember it being----very disappointing and I will no longer recommend it to my friends. Also---the next morning at 8:00 the cleaning woman keep beating on the door to find out when I would be checking out---then again at 10:00 August 6, 2012

I'm working on an Event based architecture for a research project. The system currently uses Qt signalling, but we are trying to move away from Qt, so I need something that will work almost as well as the Qt event loop and signals across threads.
Probably against my better judgement, I've chosen to use variadic templates to create a generic event that will be used to perform the callback in the destination thread.
template<typename dest, typename... args>
class Event {
Event(dest* d, void(dest::*func)(args...), args... a)
: d(d), func(func), pass(a...) { }
virtual void perform() {
dest* d;
args... pass;
I haven't found anything that indicates if this is possible. However, I have a hard time believing that it isn't. Given that, I was wondering if there is a way to do something like this and if there isn't, why? Also, if anybody has a better way of doing this I would welcome the suggestion.

Deck Staining Nightmare.
Two years ago my wife and I bought our current home. It's a 10 year old victorean style house with a 1000 sqft pressure treated deck. The deck was never stained and had a natural weathered look. The deck had no damage and is protected from intense sun from the 10 huge maples surrounding it.
After buying the house we decided to stain the deck to give it some extra flair. We chose a CIL semi-transparent redwood stain. It took me about 10 gallons to do the whole thing and about a weeks worth of my time.
1. Pressure wash deck to remove dirt, some mildew, and organic matter between deck boards.
2. Let dry for 3 days.
3. Horizontals - Applied stain with roller. (Did not back brush in)
4. Verticals - Applied stain with brush
4. Dried for a couple days (no rain throughout process)
One year later
The deck is an unsightly nightmare. I wish I never stained it at all. The stain has peeled almost everywhere. Its coming off in flakes just like paint. The only areas where the stain held up was on verticals (the spindles), and on the wrap around veranda that has an overhang from the house. This area doesnt get rained on, and doesnt get sap, dirt from the maple trees.
Cause hypothesis
I did notice that immediately after staining the deck water was not beading up on the deck like it should and rain would soak into the wood. Rain did bead up on the wrap around veranda, which is protected from the elements by the eve.
1. After 10 years of weathering, sap aborption, etc. The top layer of wood on my deck would not allow the stain to penetrate, leaving it as a layer on top, which easily peeled under rain, snow, freeze thaw conditions. This did not affect the area under the eve that held up nicely.
2. The deck is low to the ground (about a foot off the ground). All around the exterior there are facia boards so you can't look under neath. It may be possible that I have poor ventilation causing moisture to absorb into the deck from below, permiate through, and lift the stain off.
Im leaning to #1.
Possible fixes if I were to restain with redwood color
1. Sand the entire deck with a floor sander to remove top layers of damaged wood.
2. Buy a premium quality semi-transparent stain such as secants, oylmpic, cabot.
Big $ for large deck, and I dont mind that, but if the same thing happens, I'll probably go out of my mind, and destroy the deck with an axe.
Submit to mother nature, and opt for a two-tone deck
I am seriously considering this. I'm thinking about buying deck stripper and removing all the stain from the horizontal surfaces (the deck itself) and leaving the redwood stain on the verticals (the spindals). Then I would pressure wash the deck, and apply a clear protectant such as cabot australian timber oil. If this were to fade/fail over time it wouldnt be a big deal as its not huge color change.
How would a two tone deck look with a natural colored horizontals and redwood stained verticals? Opinions?
I would love to see pictures of your deck.
I don't think the fix should be too difficult. You could remove the failed finish with a deck stripper like HD-80 and allow the deck to dry and then refinish it with minimal sanding, if any.
This will also help your wood take the finish better this time.
If you go with a clear the wood is going to turn gray and weathered again. I am just not sure how that would look against the red of your verticals. It would depend on the natural color of the patina the horizontal surfaces take on.
If you decided to go back with a semi transparent, you could opt for a paraffinic type finish. This type of finish is very easy to maintain because you can always apply it over itself without having to worry about overlapping and they will never peel! Woodrich-Brand Timber Oil is a paraffinic oil with very high pigment content. It looks rich and natural on most wood. Depending on the color of your wood, you could choose a stain that matches your rails or compliments them to get the two tone look

A small healthcare provider in Utah has saved $500,000 over the past year and reduced employee travel time 70 percent using a mobile EMR app, according to a report in ZDNet. First Choice Home Health & Hospice of Utah, used the Allscripts EMR for Windows 7 smartphones and saved half a million dollars and hours of travel time for remote clinicians.
First Choice serves 400 patients in four counties, and has around 160 employees, the majority of which are remote clinicians. The provider realized that their workflow needed improvement; revenues were down 30 percent, and some remote caregivers totaled 2,500 miles per years in mileage solely in trips to update medical records at its main office.
When exploring ways to improve the efficiency of its EMR system, the healthcare provider originally considered laptops and tablets for the solution, but eventually chose smartphones. The organization said it tested laptops equipped with 3G wireless, but the speed of input was slow compared to when the providers were using smartphones.
"Computers felt like a barrier to the patient," Beau Sorenson, CFO of First Choice Home Health & Hospice of Utah, told ZDNet. "It didn't feel like a good patient/clinician connection. So we ended up working with Allscripts to find a device that supported the application."
When it first launched its Mobile Homecare app at the National Association for Home Care's (NAHC) in October 2010, Allscripts stated that "traditional laptop point-of-care platforms are not well suited to the mobility, flexibility and ease of use requirements demanded in the variety of post-acute care environments," while existing PDA apps focus largely on admin or scheduling. Allscripts stated that its app was distinct because it focused on remote access to clinical information for home care workers. Keep reading>>

DelBene confuses laws with rights
There is actually only one "right" specific to women, the 19th Amendment adopted by the States in 1920 stating that "rights of citizens of the U.S. to vote shall not be denied ... on account of sex."
All the other rights, both natural aka laws of nature and God and those established by the Bill of Rights and other adopted amendments to the Constitution are all available to all citizens of the U.S. equally.
DelBene has confused the passage of laws with "rights." Laws can be challenged and/or changed by one judge in one court of law while "rights" are upheld for all citizens in perpetuity. She uses the "right" of women to abortion on demand and to birth control as examples. One is a law, the other is just a consumer product. Since the Supreme Court has granted abortion, it would take another legal court case to change that law -- but even the Supreme Court cannot confer the status of a "right." Mr. Koster could not forbid a woman from seeking or getting an abortion, period!
Again, there is no law forbidding the use of birth control, and therefore, no argument. However, I believe what DelBene is really saying is that it and abortion should be free. While I cannot speak for Mr. Koster, I, personally, do not agree to pay for someone else's birth control or abortions.
Living in a "free" country means each citizen is "free" to make his/her own lifestyle, academic, social and political choices with the rights in the Constitution applying to all citizens; however, none of those mean they are also "free of charge." I suspect that Mr. Koster would never in a million years deny a woman to make her own choices as allowed by the law, and he actually would uphold her "right" to do so!

His Answer: "Too much tongue. There is
nothing worse than having to wipe your mouth after a kiss." —Walker E., 17
Decoded: Slobbery kisses aren't exactly
Your Move: Change up your kissing routine! You
don't have to always use tongue.
Switch it up and give him cute little pecks the lips—it'll surprise him and cut
down on the slobber.
His Answer: "Being nervous! We're
probably just as nervous as you are, plus it's best to just let the kiss come
naturally." —Ben M., 15
Decoded: Being nervous is completely normal.
He's freaking just as much as you are!
Your Move: Instead of focusing on the nerves,
think about how much you like the cutie you're kissing. Don't think so much
about the "science" of it all, instead let it come naturally and trust us, it
His Answer: "Keeping your arms awkwardly
at your side. Put them around my neck or something. It just makes me feel like
you aren't into it if you don't." —Josh R., 15
Decoded: Let him know you're into it! He's
wondering what you're thinking, too.
Your Move: Drape your hands around the back of his
neck or wrap your arms around him like a hug. It'll make you feel closer and
he'll know he isn't totally messing up (after all, guys get nervous too!).
His Answer: "A girl's breath probably
isn't as bad as she might think it is, but it never hurts to keep an extra
stash of gum in that bottomless purse you all carry around, right?" —Hunter K.,
Decoded: You probably don't need the gum as much
as you think you do, but it never hurts.
Your Move: Keep a travel size mouthwash in your
bag or your fav pack of minty-fresh gum. It never hurts to be prepared! Plus
you can offer one to your crush if you think he needs a li'l freshening up.
His Answer: "Being stiff. If you like
me, kiss me like you like me. If you do, then everything else will fall into
place. No worries." —Patrick E. 16
Decoded: He'll lead, but he wants to know that
you want the kiss as much as he does.
Your Move: Don't stay sitting in one spot. Move
your hands through his hair, or maybe up and down his shoulder. Small little
movements let him know you're into it just as much as he is.
His Answer: "Constant tongue-to-tongue
contact. Mix it up a little. That's always nice." —Drew S. 17
Decoded: We need to come up from air at some
Your Move: Change it up! Small pecks leave time to
catch your breath because sometimes when ya get caught up in the moment it's
easy to forget to take a deep breath. By changing it up with different kisses,
you'll keep him interested and your lungs will thank you for it!

Success Grafting Roses?
behlgarden(9)March 21, 2012
I recently grafted some rose cuttings from one rose bush to another, in certain cases I had few suckers that I grafted onto as well. I used cleft graft throughout. I am wondering if anyone have had any success in grafting Roses and if so what technique you used.
I will report back if I see success on these grafts, however it would be interesting to see of someone has had success with it.

Instrumental variable estimation based on grouped data
The paper considers the estimation of the coefficients of a single equation in the presence of dummy intruments. We derive pseudo ML and GMM estimators based on moment restrictions induced either by the structural form or by the reduced form of the model. The performance of the estimators is evaluated for the non-Gaussian case. We allow for heteroscedasticity. The asymptotic distributions are based on parameter sequences where the number of instruments increases at the same rate as the sample size. Relaxing the usual Gaussian assumption is shown to affect the normal asymptotic distributions. As a result also recently suggested new specification tests for the validity of instruments depend on Gaussianity. Monte Carlo simulations confirm the accuracy of the asymptotic approach.

Detective Jack Frost has gained a considerable following in both literature and on TV. The grumpy detective takes his own path, irrespective of superiors and just gets on with the job. This particular story is set in May 1982 at a time when the Falklands war is at its height.
Denton Police Division has just received its first black policeman – DS Waters – relocated from London's East End. Frost finds himself coping with changing relationships within his division. Then the body of fifteen year old Samantha Ellis is found hidden in the woodland – soon afterwards, a fifteen year old boy is found dead on the golf course.
Frost has the task of investigating. Is there any link between the deaths and a spate of local burglaries? To top it all, the murdered boy's sister goes missing – can they find her in time? Fast paced, the well-drawn characters live up to their reputation. Anyone keen on Detective Jack Frost will enjoy this story.
