Andra also is trained on the harmonica. Her debute album Cheers To The Fall incorperates retro soul and the music industry will capitalize on pop music but tbe vintage compositions similar to Sam Cooke and Nina Simone have long been forgotten,until now.

The leather on this bag is to die for!! It is so soft and thick without being heavy. I bought the teak colour and it is absolutely gorgeous.I am very fussy about my leathers and just adore this leather. I also own many leather bags from the other lines on the Shopping Channel. The picture of this bag does not do it justice. The colour in real life is quite different (much nicer). It looks almost like plastic in the picture. If a video for this bag was available, you would see very easily how nice the bag is. However, look at the video for the large Silverlake bag to get an idea of the true teak colour and the quality of the leather. I have avoided the Sak line until recently, as I purchased a show stopper 2 years ago and the leather was like cardboard (but the style was great). However, the lovely styles and functionality of the recent Sak bags reeled me in again and I bought the Reggio bucket bag and the Pax bag and I love both. The leathers have definitely improved since the first bag I bought. However, this Silverlake leather is simply out of this world and in a league of its own. Can't believe no one has written in a review on the larger Silverlake large flap bag.This bag is the perfect size for me (I don't like suitcase sized bags) and it has features that are important to me. For example, the flap has a magnetic closure PLUS a top zipper on the main compartment. It also has an extra large strap IN LEATHER for cross body wear, as well as an outside back zippered pocket (as well as the customary inside zippered pocket and 2 media pockets). It also has a slip pocket under the flap for quick grab items. It is a very functional bag for every day, if you don't need a huge bag to store your stuff.I also bought the Silverlake leather wallet which I love, love, love!! If there were any left, I'd also write a review of it. I bought the teak to match my small Silverlake flap bag. It's a beautiful set.The only fault with the bag is that the slit pocket under the flap has the raw leather showing, rather than having finishing paint on it. I'm hoping that the leather won't fray, since the slip pocket gets lots of use. Time will tell. I hope that The Sak looks as these reviews, as I feel strongly that the slit pocket should really have had finishing paint. However, I love everything else about the bag so much that I'm still giving it a 5 Star rating.I don't usually write such long reviews. However, I love the leather on the Silverlake line so much that I had to get my opinion out there, since there aren't any other reviews for this collection.I hope that The Sak continues making bags in this fantastic leather and continues with the lovely functional designs. I can't wait to see the Fall collection. I am now a lover of The Sak line.

This is right up my alley! Is anyone poking in here lately? I blog about frugality, so I'd love to have some people to chat more with about it!
Wish this forum was more active!
I would love to see this board become more active. Let me know if you have any ideas on encouraging more visitors. With the New Year coming up and more people on a tighter budget perhaps building up a getting out of debt challenge would be something to consider?
I'd love to take a look at your blog as well for personal use! Goodness knows I am always on the lookout for more suggestions!
Thanks Missy! This is my blog:
A getting out of debt challenge would be cool. Or a coupon workshop or something. I bet there will be a big bump in traffic to this board for the new year (when everyone opens up their December statements!)
yup... me too.
also wish my DH was on board with getting out of debt... or anywhere near my boat would be nice really...
How is he not supportive? Does he spend without caring? Honestly it took me making my husband a more active participant in our finances for us to finally come together on things.
This board could be great!
I need ideas on how to be frugal too, especially as Christmas.
Could we not promote this board over on the more active boards?
DH has no concept of spending budget etc. his concept is "i want it, i have money"
he couldnt remember to pay is car insurance on time if i didnt hound him before we got married. he just never looked ahead and said to himself "i get paid _ day, and care insurance is due 9 days later, i need to use this money to pay that." he has NO CLUE. he thinks "there is money in my pocket, i want mountain dew" and he doesnt think- my work clothes are dirty and i need that dollar in quarters to wash them, he just gets home and figures he'll have to wear it dirty another day because he's out of cash.
he will go to wal-mart and buy 12 cans of spray paint because he "needs to paint his truck" and not consider that he needed gas money to get to work the monday.
his parents never taught him to value money at all. they never showed him how to be responsible or use it properly. his bank account had exactly $5 in it for 3 years, he had the account just so he could cash checks at that bank.
so i do ALL the money in the house, every bill, every paycheck, everything goes through me. which does not work because he has a credit card that i'm stuck trying to budget and pay down while he racks it up.
and he's got a very "entitled" attitude. he figures everyone owes him and he deserves money for putting up with the planet- while i'm the opposite, it creeps me out when we get tax returns and get a bunch of money back that we did not pay in (we are pretty poor though) and i LIKE the money, but i'm wondering what the budget deficit would be if we only got back what we paid in instead of extra credit for being poor. last year our refund was nearly 50% of our YEARLY INCOME. in march we got a check (well... direct depost) for HALF of what we made in an ENTIRE YEAR.
we are paying off some credit cards this year (which is what we did last year, before we racked them up again on DH's entitlement theory "we deserve to drive 4 hrs to see my grandma and go shopping while we are there because those stores have stuff that fits me better, and go out to eat at 3 resteraunts a day and not even check the price before i order the steak because I WANT IT and i have magic plastic") and then i'm taking his and cutting it up. i already cut up all of mine... then 2 of them renewed this year, and i hid them and didnt activate them, until our car broke down and we needed parts but we have no savings because extra $$ disappears in DH's hands "i wanted a flashlight and a headlamp and another new pair of shoes even though i wont throw any of the 6 i have at home away, but i wont wear them because they are worn out" "i've been looking for this movie for years!" (but he still complains when DD gets into the movie he leavs out) .... anyway. so i'm cutting his card up until he can figure out how to pay his bill by himself. and he may never figure it out. if i can budget the money right, i'll be switching to a cash-only basis when we get the tax returns so that DH can't spend money on his debit that i have saved for bills.
its really tough for me to try to be frugal when he's such a spender. i mean, i feel guilty when i want to clearance shop with $10 for DD's wardrobe for next year, or if DD gets sick and i need extra quarters for laundry, but he comes home with a fresh 1 liter of mtn dew, a new can of dip (EW EW EW, thats a different issue) and convenience store snacks, then when i yell at him about it, he buys me a candybar too so that we're even. he doesnt understand that the money our family needs for other things is going straight out the window every time. and he prefers disposable diapers to cloth so maybe i'll have to hide those for emergencies only until he can get it figured out.
that was way longer than needed, but i still dont know if i've explained how/why he's not on my budget wagon.
right now he thinks i'm a **** and he'll think i'm worse when i take all his plastic and ration his cash so we can pay off some stuff.
and he wants to finance a new truck. he's an idiot.
I just started on this forum and would love to see it more active....
just wanted to randomly add that i did switch DH to a cash allowance and pay off 2 credit cards with our tax refund, just like i planned. and he's doing better. not great, but better, accidents with the debit or credit cards are few and far between now!
I would also like to see this forum become more active!
Hi everyone,

Hugh Jackman Sings a Chinese Country-Western Song on 'The Tonight Show' (VIDEO)
He crooned a Chinese country-western song, which turned out way cooler than it sounds. Let's face it, Jackman could make anything sound fantastic.
And that audience member sure drew the lucky straw, didn't she? How cool! You to go 'The Tonight Show' never dreaming you'll be immortalized on camera forever dancing with Jackman! He even dipped, her.
Watch the video after the jump.
Survivor heads to China
Remember all that talk about Survivor moving to a colder climate, such as Canada? Never mind.
The long-running CBS show is actually going to China for its next season. The 15th season will feature the castaways in a non-island setting for the first time since the 11th season. Though I'm not sure if you can call them "castaways" if its not an island, but whatever. China is more open to other countries filming there now, and such a location may help Survivor catch on outside of the U.S. The new season starts in September.
I still want to see a cold climate Survivor though. Moving around to different warm parts of the globe (and I'm not sure exactly what the weather will be like in China, so maybe I'm off here) might be interesting on paper, but once you get into the game it's still the same old thing. Changing the climate would change the whole show.
Rosie says "ching chong," causes stir
On Thursdays episode of The View, a show I never watch because I spend that time celebrating the fact I'm not watching The View, Rosie O'Donnell cracked wise about Danny DeVito's drunken appearance on the show being national news, saying that even in China the newspaper read, "Ching chong, ching ching chong, Danny DeVito!"
Wonder Showzen: Time
(S02E02) This episode of Wonder Showzen began with Chauncey visited by himself from two minutes in the future. It turns out Chauncey's future self is a hundred times cooler than Chauncey, so Chauncey sets out to build a time machine and travel even further back in the future (four minutes) so he can be even hipper. But we'll get to all that in a moment.
I said in my last review that the "Beat Kids" segment wasn't my favorite, only because I don't think it always works in the execution. Of course, that was before last night when they had a kid put on zombie make-up, dress as the Pope, and interview people in front of a Catholic Church under the pseudonym "Little Dead Pope." Trey Parker has been quoted time and again saying Cartman was his way of creating a character who could say things that would get most real people burned at the stake. Wonder Showzen takes that concept one step further and actually uses real children, which adds a whole layer of apprehension when you hear them say things to unsuspecting adults like, "The Pope should go to Hell for promoting a corrupt system. High five!" Not many shows can make you almost fall of the couch laughing while at the same time fearing for a child's life. They should have some kind of award for that.

This question already has an answer here:
- Math rendering library for iPhone OS 1 answer
I was wondering if there is an easy way to implement the rendering of math equations into an iOS app. It doesn't have to be interactive. All it should do is display the equation in traditional ways so when the user is dealing with complex equations it makes it easier to follow.
ex. 2^(2/(6^(1/2))) gives:
Wolfram Alpha does this along with other apps that I have seen. It doesn't have to deal with variables either.

More than three years after her debut in Pooja Bhatt�s �Paap�, Udita
Goswami is still to speak for herself. In her next two movies, �Zeher�
and �Aksar� she was dubbed by someone else and the same goes for her
latest release �Aggar�.
Udita Goswami" src="http://www.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/udita_goswami_big.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5"> Dubbing artiste Neeti Mathur has done the honours for Udita this time around. �This is the second time that I have dubbed for Udita Goswami. �Aksar� was her last release which I dubbed for and now her latest film also features my voice,� exclaims Mathur who has earlier dubbed for Rimi Sen in �Deewane Hue Pagal� and �Phir Hera Pheri�, Nauheed Cyrusi in �Anwar� and newcomer Vipasha Agarwal in �I See You� as well a host of popular TV shows like �Kaisa Yeh Pyaar Hain� and �Kahiin To Hoga�.
And interestingly it took just two days for the seasoned Mathur to dub for Udita.
�It�s because I kind of got used to Udita�s voice. �Aksar� took me five days because there were a lot of overtly emotional scenes, screaming scenes and all that. But here it was more of a plain character�
So much so that, Udita�s beau Mohit Suri too admitted to having not been able to make out that it was not Udita talking in �Aggar.�
�Yeah it�s a nice feeling when your voice actually goes with the actor so much,� adds Mathur.
The voice really rocks, but for Udita it�s a downhill ride. She has lost all the freshness which was there during her �Paap� days and has sadly not done anything about her voice either. Unless she quickly polishes that voice and her acting skills, she will continue holding a subsidiary position in the industry. Had only the Mohit Suri connection mattered, things would have been different for Udita by now!

At IU, what types of attachments are blocked from my email account?
To protect computers at Indiana University, UITS has enabled filters for attachments that have been known to carry viruses.
If you know your file is safe and need to share it, you can rename the file, using either a different extension or no extension, and then attach it to your email message. See At IU, how can I send email with a blocked attachment type? Alternatively, you can share the file using one of IU's file-sharing services, such as Box or Slashtmp; see At IU, how can I collaborate on documents and share data with others?
The UITS attachment filters block the following file types:
.ade .adp .app .asp .bas .bat .chm .cmd .com .cpl .crt .csh
.exe .fxp .hlp .hta .htr .inf .ins .isp .jar .js .jse .ksh
.lnk .mda .mdb .mde .mdt .mdw .mdz .msc .msi .msp .mst .ops
.pcd .pif .prf .prg .reg .scf .scr .sct .shb .shs .url .vb
.vbe .vbs .wsc .wsf .wsh
Note: Archive files (e.g., zip or tar files) that contain any of the above file types will also be blocked.
IU Exchange accounts
The IU Exchange email system uses software called Microsoft Forefront to filter mail for possible viruses. Microsoft Forefront strips blocked files from messages leaving the IU Exchange system and delivers the messages to recipients, without the attachments. If someone from outside the IU Exchange environment sends a message containing one of the blocked attachment types to your Exchange account, you will not receive the attachment or the message. The filtering software at the external mail relays blocks the entire message, and will generate a nondeliverable response (NDR) message to the sender. However, it's up to the sender's email system to accept NDRs. Because of the amount of NDR traffic that spam and viruses cause, many systems do not accept NDRs.
If you send a message from an Exchange account with an
.shs, or
.vbs attachment,
you'll get an automated message from Microsoft Forefront with a
subject line similar to "Forefront found FILE FILTER= *.ext file",
where "ext" is the attached file's extension.
If you send a
.pif, or
.scr attachment from an Exchange
account, Microsoft Forefront will replace the attachment with the text
message "Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server removed
filename.ext since it was found to match the FILE FILTER= *.ext file
filter." (where "filename" is the name of the attachment, and ".ext"
is the specific extension of the attached file). Exchange will then
deliver the original message without the attachment.

32 year old man | Allen, TX, USA | Seeking women 21-35 within 50 miles
Where is Cupid when you need em...
What I am looking for..well I will first tell you what I am not looking for. I do not like "stuck up" or "superficial" women. So if you fit in these categories please move to the next eligible bachelor on here. I have been on a couple of dates so far, and have been told "I am much better looking in person". Not sure if that is good or bad?! ha. Also, if you have more pictures of your dog than yourself I am not interested, I am not dating your dog although I'm happy you are pet friendly. Another big no no is profiles with just face pics, i need a full body shot, a tasteful one at that. NO sleezies! I am not being shallow but lets face it attractiveness is the first step into a relationship, and if you say "no its not" you are lying. So with that said I wish everyone luck in finding their special someone ;). I am also not looking to "hook up" either. I joined this site to see what this is all about. I am not saying I am ready to get married in the next 6 months, but I would like to find a down to earth girl who has an open mind. We become friends then go from there. I have three tats... Love it or leave it. I'm not removing them for you in fact ill probably get more over time. If they bother you I am sorry. Ps girls with tats are sexy and a definite plus. I would like to find someone with the same interests as me obviously, however I also keep an open mind. Opposites do attract so I have been told. I need trust and honesty in my next relationship, with out that there is no relationship. I despise liars and cheaters. I expect the same from my date/gf/wife...DUH! I am a very active man. I thoroughly enjoy watching sports and I play a lot of them too. My next 'date' does not have to play any sports but at least sit down and watch a game or two with me. I am very spontaneous. So, if I decide to up and leave out of town to Florida and sit on the beach for 3 days or so, I would expect my date to be open to that as well :). I am open to all sorts of things and pretty much am willing to try anything once. I am self employed and have generated over $500,000 in sales for my business since I started it. I am not bragging I am pretty humble actually but this section is about me right? This is who I am and I will not give up my small business for anything or anyone. I work my butt off but that's what brings success. I will make time for my girl.. no doubt! I like spending time with people whom I care about. I enjoy the finer things in life but realize there are more important things but i do like to treat myself and significant other to enjoyable evenings etc. I do like to go out to places (clubs, bars are in the past I am not 18 anymore) that is not saying I will not go out to a bar from time to time, I just am more productive and use my time more wisely now. With age comes wisdom. I like all sorts of music, so finding something to listen to that we both like should not be a problem. I am not into shows like Desperate Housewives or Jersey Shore..I think those shows are lame. I do enjoy a good reality show from time to time but I am not that keen on television. I would hope to spend my time doing other important things in life. I will not say I do not lounge on the couch from time to time, that would be a lie, but who does not like being lazy on occasion. I also enjoy laying on the couch and cuddling while watching a movie with my significant other, so if you are not a cuddler then like I said above please move forward. I am not a rude person, I am actually very easy to get along with. I may be a bit shy at first but over time I will warm up. I am a pretty outgoing person and will usually take the initiative. I like being in leadership roles, as I fulfill them quite well. I am not a judgmental person. I will speak my mind, but it is not up to me to judge others. I treat people how I expect to be treated and vice versa. Feel free to email me if you would like to talk further. Hope you have a great day! .

Musc Botanique by Strange Invisible Perfumes
I love Musc Botanique. It's one of those rare fragrances that makes me feel like I'm radiating a magical glow. It goes beyond wearing a nice scent, to causing a chemical reaction that elevates my imagination; maybe it stimulates dopamine... It simply smells beautiful. I love, love musk, but I'm picky about my musks, and this is one of my favorites. Maybe even my favorite. Fresh, yet warm, sexy, not sweaty, gentle, and unisex; and best of all it's got je ne sais quoi that all SIP fragrances possess. The SIP "Guerlainade", I suppose, and I've come to adore it. Strange Invisible Perfumes continue to intrique me, because they always wind up being "more" than I could ever expect. Upon application of several of these concoctions, initially I've thought, "Who would WEAR this?"; only to find myself mesmerized within minutes. Strange Invisible Perfumes are esoteric, which, for me, makes them special. They demand that you analyze them, experience them, and feel them. You cannot apply them as an afterthought as you're running out the door...If you try, within a couple of minutes, you'll find yourself stunned into motionlessness, while you're transported into an olfactory vortex. Next thing you know, you'll be writing a rambling, somewhat incoherent review on Basenotes, because you want everyone who cares to know how incredible you smell. How deeply you're affected. So, again, I really love Musc Botanique. Try it, if you like vortexes. But don't say I didn't warn you. (And, if you're really, really brave, do try Magazine Street and Narcotic. You'll never be the same.) There are still many fragrance lovers who haven't experienced the amazing perfumes being created by natural perfumers. If you're one of us life-as-olfactory-experience people, order samples from Ayala Moriel and Strange Invisible Perfumes right now. Now. (I'm not affiliated with either company, but, for purely personal reasons, I hope to smell more of both lines, everywhere.) I don't remember where I was supposed to be running off to today, but I have a feeling I'll wind up in Venice, at Strange Invisible Perfumes!

Pena is a Red Sox. Arroyo is now a Red. It's official.
Where are you getting your info? I see nothing on ESPN, CBS.Sportsline or either of the team websites.
...And this one belongs to the Reds!!
I'm not finding this anywhere.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Reds got ripped off.
Krivsky's first trade=F+
Turned out to be a pretty solid move for Kriv.
And what would an Eric Milton have gotten in this current FA market?
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
I'm pretty sure Brooklynredz is a reliable early source on these types of things, just for future reference.
Just what we need--another flyball pitcher with low K totals. Everything about him sreams "average" to me--no complete games, average BB totals, low K totals, etc. He was able to keep the ball in the park significantly more than, say, Milton--and he pitched in a hitter's park, too, so that much is encouraging.
On the flipside, while I don't think Arroyo is this team's answer for its pitching needs, I think people have a serious tendency to overvalue WMP. He's got all the raw talent in the world, but unrefined talent is worthless. While i would have rather seen the reds get more of a groundball pitcher--or one with a higher K rate--a pitcher in the neighborhood of Arroyo is about where WMP's value currently sits.
At least the Reds answered one of their question marks in the rotation--and this perhaps also opens the possibility of Milton moving to the bullpen if he continues to remain ineffective as a starter.
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
Wasn't so much questioning Brooklyn, just didn't see it anywhere.Originally Posted by ochre
...And this one belongs to the Reds!!
Yup Brooklyn's got cred.
"Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?" ~ Jim Bouton
Ugh. Not only do we get a 4.5 ERA pitcher, which is moderately better than what we had (though that IS in the AL), but the offense takes a BIG hit with Hatteberg a full-time starter now. I don't see them letting Denorfia start, so the whole Dunn to 1st was a sham? What gives?
Or was the FO all of a sudden terrified that they only have two major league starters in the rotation?!?

Last week, I was fortunate enough to attend the R Summit & Workshop, an invitation only event, held at the Copenhagen Business School. The abstracts for the public talks presented are online and well worth a look. Collectively they provide a snapshot of the state of development of R and the R Community as well some insight into the directions in which researchers are moving to expand the boundaries of R.
Real highlights of the event were talks by Jennifer Bryan and Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel, two educators who are channeling enormous amounts of energy into teaching statistics and statistical programming, and into developing new pedagogical methods to improve the learning experience for both students and teachers alike. Both Mine and Jennifer are committed to R, as well as to using state of the art developer tools such as RStudio, R Markdown, Git and GitHub.
If you clicked on the link to Jennifer's university home page above and expected to see more content there you are probably not running with the in crowd. Anybody who aspires to bask in the faintest glow of tech cool is hanging out on GitHub. So go to github.com/jennybc to find a place where social media, software development and best practices collide to generate a state-of-the-art learning platform.
What Jennifer has created there is the R version of a full immersion experience for learning a new language. Just like you can't separate the highs and awkward lows of human interactions from tripping over the grammar while learning Japanese on the streets of Tokyo, at jennybc you have to cope with GitHub, R Markdown and complying with best practices while doing your homework, seeking help, and learning from your peers.
As Jennifer writes in her synopsis of her R Summit & Workshop talk:
I've formed strong opinions about workflows for R Markdown + GitHub and what the big wins are.
Mine, who focuses on undergraduate education, points out that: "R is attractive because, unlike software designed specifically for courses at this level, it is relevant beyond the introductory statistics classroom, and is more powerful and flexible." Poke around Mine's GitHub page and you will see that she is all about R, open source, reproducibility and teaching good habits and right values. In addition to her work in the classroom, Mine has developed the Coursera course: Data Analysis and Statistical Inference, is a coauthor of three, free R based textbooks and is a driving force behind the ASA Datafest competitions.
Students are often ambivalent as to whether they are looking for education or training. But if you are a student of either Mime or Jennifer you are going to get some of both, and have a real shot at launching a productive R fueled career.

From electronic medical records to genomic sequences, the data deluge is affecting all aspects of health care. The Masters of Science in Health Informatics (MSHI) program at the University of San Francisco, now in its second year, is designed to help students develop the practical computing skills and quantitative perspicacity they need to manage and exploit this wealth of data in health care applications.
This spring, I am privileged to participate in this effort by developing and teaching a new course, "Statistical Computing for Biomedical Data Analytics", intended to motivate and prepare students for further studies in data science, such as the intensive summer courses of the MSAN bootcamp. The syllabus is on github.
As you've probably guessed, we will be using R. Other courses in the curriculum use Python, which seems to be favored by engineers; in contrast, R was developed by and for statisticians. We want the students to be exposed to both perspectives, and to have the technical background needed to make use of the extensive repositories of code available from CRAN and Bioconductor.
Data science is an interdisciplinary endeavor born of the synergy between computing, statistics, data management, and visualization. This can make it challenging to get started, because you have to know so many things before you get to the good stuff. We're going to try to ease into it by starting with computational explorations of mathematical and statistical concepts. R is a fantastic environment for this; you can see a bell-shaped curve emerge from an example as simple as
plot(0:20, choose(n=20, k=0:20))
Note the expressive power of the vector of k values, and the easy convenience of having a world of statistical functions at your fingertips. Imagine how this little plot would have delighted Sir Francis Galton.
Data science is a journey. The enormous breadth of material and the rapid pace of development mean that the most important thing to learn is how to learn more. We'll explore many fantastic resources for learning data science and R. For example, Coursera has excellent offerings, exemplified by the series of mini-courses from Johns Hopkins; our students will take at least one of these as a course project.
Of course, the R community itself is the biggest and most important resource. One class will be a field trip to a Bay Area useR Group (BARUG) meeting, and the comments in response to this post will be required reading. Ideas or suggestions regarding the syllabus or course materials from the github repository are welcome, as are observations or ruminations on the process of learning data science and R.
Finally, we are very interested in helping our students find outstanding internship opportunities in health-related organizations. Please don't hesitate to contact me through email@example.com if you are interested in working with us. Stay tuned for progress reports.
Johns Hopkins Biostatistics Professor (and presenter of Data Analysis at Coursera) Jeff Leek has published his list of awesome things other people did in 2014. It's well worth following the links in his 38 entries, where you'll find a wealth of useful resources in teaching, statistics, data science, and data visualization.
Many of the entries are related to R, including shout-outs to: the data wrangling, exploration, and analysis with R class at UBC; this paper on R Markdown and reproducible analysis; Hadley Wickham's R Packages; Hilary Parker's guide to writing R packages from scratch; the broom package (for tidying up statistical output in R); Karl Broman's hipsteR tutorial; Rocker (Docker containers for R); and Packrat and R markdown v2 from RStudio. I was also chuffed to see that this blog got a mention, too:
Another huge reason for the movement with R has been the outreach and development efforts of the Revolution Analytics folks. The Revolutions blog has been a must read this year.
Thanks, Jeff! Check out Jeff's complete list of awesome things at SimplyStatistics by following the link below.
SimplyStatistics: A non-comprehensive list of awesome things other people did in 2014
by Joseph Rickert
The American Statistical Association (ASA) Undergraduate Guidelines Workgroup recently published the report Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Programs in Statistical Science. Although intended for educators setting up or revamping Stats programs at colleges and universities, this concise, 17 page document should be good reading for anyone who wants to take charge of their own education in learning to "think with data". Whether you are just getting started with your education or you are a working professional contemplating what to learn next to expand your knowledge and update your skills you should find the ASA report helpful.
The report places good statistical practice firmly on the foundation of the scientific method and locates statistical knowledge and skills squarely in the center modern data analysis.
However, it is far from being a complacent panegyric to statistics. The ASA report challenges educators to help students see that the "discipline of statistics is more than a collection of unrelated tools" and explicitly calls for an increased emphasis on data science and big league computational skills. Graduates of statistical programs:
should be facile with professional statistical software and other appropriate tools for data exploration, cleaning, validation, analysis, and communication. They should be able to program in a higher-level language, to think algorithmically, to use simulation-based statistical techniques . . . Graduates should be able to manage and manipulate data, including joining data from different sources and formats and restructuring data into a form suitable for analysis.
The expectations for communication skills are particularly noteworthy. The report says:
Graduates should be expected to write clearly, speak fluently, and construct effective visual displays and compelling written summaries. They should demonstrate ability to collaborate in teams and to organize and manage projects.
One could argue about the details of the topics that should be included in an undergraduate program. But, clearly the committe is aiming for far more than producing minimly competent, employable graduates. They are outlining a way of life, a competent way of being in a data driven world.
Hidden among the white papers listed on the ASA curriculum guidelines page is a treasure: Tim Hesterberg's paper on What Teachers Should Know about the Bootstrap: Resampling in the Undergraduate Curriculum. This is a lucid and fairly deep explication of bootstrapping and resampling techniques that deserves wide circulation. Tim writes that he had three goals in producing the paper: (1) To show the enormous potential of bootstrapping and permutation tests to help students understand statistical concepts . . .(2) To dig deeper . . .(3) To change statistical practice . . ."
Point (3) may sound astoundingly ambitious. However, it is grounded in a revolution that has been quietly gaining strength and whose time has come. Textbooks that rely on R based simulations to teach probability (e.g. Baclawski) and statistics (e.g. Matloff) have been available for some time, and Tim points out that undergraduate textbooks such as Chihara and Hesterberg which use resampling as the fundamental unifying idea are beginning to appear. Moreover, data scientists outside of the community of academic statisticians are well aware that programming skills more than compensate for a traditional statistics education that presents the subject as a collection of unrelated tests and techniques as this Strata Hadoop world presentation from John Rauser makes clear.
It is very good, indeed, to see the ASA leading the charge for change.
If you're a current graduate or undergraduate student and have a knack for data visualization, why not submit a paper to the 2014 ASA Statistical Graphics Student Paper Competition? Many of the past winners used R to create interesting displays of data, or created a new package for R (general statistical computing applications are also eligible). Winners will get free registration and a travel allowance to attend the Joint Statistics Meetings, which in 2015 will be held in Seattle. (You'll also get to attend the Statistical Computing Mixer at JSM and participate in the famous door prize giveaway!)
To be considered, you'll need to submit a six-page manuscript by December 14, 2014. I've copied the complete details of the announcement below. Good luck!
The Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Sections of the ASA are co-sponsoring a student paper competition on the topics of Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics. Students are encouraged to submit a paper in one of these areas, which might be original methodological research, some novel computing or graphical application in statistics, or any other suitable contribution (for example, a software-related project). The selected winners will present their papers in a topic-contributed session at the 2015 Joint Statistical Meetings. The Sections will pay registration fees for the winners as well as a substantial allowance for transportation to the meetings and lodging.
Anyone who is a student (graduate or undergraduate) on or after September 1, 2014 is eligible to participate. An entry must include an abstract, a six page manuscript (including figures, tables and references), blinded versions of the abstract and manuscript (with no authors and no references that easily lead to identifying the authors), a C.V., and a letter from a faculty member familiar with the student's work. The applicant must be the first author of the paper. The faculty letter must include a verification of the applicant's student status and, in the case of joint authorship, should indicate what fraction of the contribution is attributable to the applicant. We prefer that electronic submissions of papers be in Postscript or PDF. All materials must be in English.
Students may submit papers to no more than two sections and may accept only one section's award. Students must inform both sections applied to when he or she wins and accepts an award, thereby removing the student from the award competition for the second section.
All application materials MUST BE RECEIVED by 5:00 PM EST, Sunday, December 14, 2014 at the address below. They will be reviewed by the Student Paper Competition Award committee of the Statistical Computing and Graphics Sections. The selection criteria used by the committee will include innovation and significance of the contribution as well as the professional quality of the manuscript. Award announcements will be made by January 15th, 2015.
Additional important information on the competition can be accessed on ASA's "Student Paper Competition/Travel Award to Attend the Joint Statistical Meetings".
Inquiries and application materials should be emailed or mailed to:

ASA Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Section: Student Paper Competition 2014

The American Statistical Association (ASA) leadership, and many in Statistics academia. have been undergoing a period of angst the last few years, They worry that the field of Statistics is headed for a future of reduced national influence and importance, with the feeling that:
I had been aware of these issues for quite a while, and thus was pleasantly surprised last year to see then-ASA president Marie Davidson write a plaintive editorial titled, "Aren't We Data Science?"
Good, the ASA is taking action, I thought. But even then I was startled to learn during JSM 2014 (a conference tellingly titled "Statistics: Global Impact, Past, Present and Future") that the ASA leadership is so concerned about these problems that it has now retained a PR firm.
This is probably a wise move–most large institutions engage in extensive PR in one way or another–but it is a sad statement about how complacent the profession has become. Indeed, it can be argued that the action is long overdue; as a friend of mine put it, "They [the statistical profession] lost the PR war because they never fought it."
In this post, I'll tell you the rest of the story, as I see it, viewing events as a statistician, computer scientist and R activist.
CS vs. Statistics
Let's consider the CS issue first. Recently a number of new terms have arisen, such as data science, Big Data, and analytics, and the popularity of the term machine learning has grown rapidly. To many of us, though, this is just "old wine in new bottles," with the "wine" being Statistics. But the new "bottles" are disciplines outside of Statistics–especially CS.
I have a foot in both the Statistics and CS camps. I've spent most of my career in the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Davis, but I began my career in Statistics at that institution. My mathematics doctoral thesis at UCLA was in probability theory, and my first years on the faculty at Davis focused on statistical methodology. I was one of the seven charter members of the Department of Statistics. Though my departmental affiliation later changed to CS, I never left Statistics as a field, and most of my research in Computer Science has been statistical in nature. With such "dual loyalties," I'll refer to people in both professions via third-person pronouns, not first, and I will be critical of both groups. However, in keeping with the theme of the ASA's recent actions, my essay will be Stat-centric: What is poor Statistics to do?
Well then, how did CS come to annex the Stat field? The primary cause, I believe, came from the CS subfield of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Though there always had been some probabilistic analysis in AI, in recent years the interest has been almost exclusively in predictive analysis–a core area of Statistics.
That switch in AI was due largely to the emergence of Big Data. No one really knows what the term means, but people "know it when they see it," and they see it quite often these days. Typical data sets range from large to huge to astronomical (sometimes literally the latter, as cosmology is one of the application fields), necessitating that one pay key attention to the computational aspects. Hence the term data science, combining quantitative methods with speedy computation, and hence another reason for CS to become involved.
Involvement is one thing, but usurpation is another. Though not a deliberate action by any means, CS is eclipsing Stat in many of Stat's central areas. This is dramatically demonstrated by statements that are made like, "With machine learning methods, you don't need statistics"–a punch in the gut for statisticians who realize that machine learning really IS statistics. ML goes into great detail in certain aspects, e.g. text mining, but in essence it consists of parametric and nonparametric curve estimation methods from Statistics, such as logistic regression, LASSO, nearest-neighbor classification, random forests, the EM algorithm and so on.
Though the Stat leaders seem to regard all this as something of an existential threat to the well-being of their profession, I view it as much worse than that. The problem is not that CS people are doing Statistics, but rather that they are doing it poorly: Generally the quality of CS work in Stat is weak. It is not a problem of quality of the researchers themselves; indeed, many of them are very highly talented. Instead, there are a number of systemic reasons for this, structural problems with the CS research "business model":
All this matters – a LOT. In my opinion, the above factors result in highly lamentable opportunity costs. Clearly, I'm not saying that people in CS should stay out of Stat research. But the sad truth is that the usurpation process is causing precious resources–research funding, faculty slots, the best potential grad students, attention from government policymakers, even attention from the press–to go quite disproportionately to CS, even though Statistics is arguably better equipped to make use of them. This is not a CS vs. Stat issue; Statistics is important to the nation and to the world, and if scarce resources aren't being used well, it's everyone's loss.
Making Statistics Attractive to Students
This of course is an age-old problem in Stat. Let's face it–the very word statistics sounds hopelessly dull. But I would argue that a more modern development is making the problem a lot worse – the Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics courses in high schools.
Professor Xiao-Li Meng has written extensively about the destructive nature of AP Stat. He observed, "Among Harvard undergraduates I asked, the most frequent reason for not considering a statistical major was a 'turn-off' experience in an AP statistics course." That says it all, doesn't it? And though Meng's views predictably sparked defensive replies in some quarters, I've had exactly the same experiences as Meng in my own interactions with students. No wonder students would rather major in a field like CS and study machine learning–without realizing it is Statistics. It is especially troubling that Statistics may be losing the "best and brightest" students.
One of the major problems is that AP Stat is usually taught by people who lack depth in the subject matter. A typical example is that a student complained to me that his AP Stat teacher could not answer his question as to why it is customary to use n-1 rather than n in the denominator of s^2 , even though he had attended a top-quality high school in the heart of Silicon Valley. But even that lapse is really minor, compared to the lack among the AP teachers of the broad overview typically possessed by Stat professors teaching university courses, in terms of what can be done with Stat, what the philosophy is, what the concepts really mean and so on. AP courses are ostensibly college level, but the students are not getting college-level instruction. The "teach to the test" syndrome that pervades AP courses in general exacerbates this problem.
The most exasperating part of all this is that AP Stat officially relies on TI-83 pocket calculators as its computational vehicle. The machines are expensive, and after all we are living in an age in which R is free! Moreover, the calculators don't have the capabilities of dazzling graphics and analyzing of nontrivial data sets that R provides – exactly the kinds of things that motivate young people.
So, unlike the "CS usurpation problem," whose solution is unclear, here is something that actually can be fixed reasonably simply. If I had my druthers, I would simply ban AP Stat, and actually, I am one of those people who would do away with the entire AP program. Obviously, there are too many deeply entrenched interests for this to happen, but one thing that can be done for AP Stat is to switch its computational vehicle to R.
As noted, R is free and is multi platform, with outstanding graphical capabilities. There is no end to the number of data sets teenagers would find attractive for R use, say the Million Song Data Set.
As to a textbook, there are many introductions to Statistics that use R, such as Michael Crawley's Statistics: An Introduction Using R, and Peter Dalgaard's Introductory Statistics Using R. But to really do it right, I would suggest that a group of Stat professors collaboratively write an open-source text, as has been done for instance for Chemistry. Examples of interest to high schoolers should be used, say this engaging analysis on OK Cupid.
This is not a complete solution by any means. There still is the issue of AP Stat being taught by people who lack depth in the field, and so on. And even switching to R would meet with resistance from various interests, such as the College Board and especially the AP Stat teachers themselves.
But given all these weighty problems, it certainly would be nice to do something, right? Switching to R would be doable–and should be done.

Just found out that @rdpeng @jtleek @bcaffo have enrolled 1,000,000 students in statistics classes on @coursera in last 2 years.
— Simply Statistics (@simplystats) May 30, 2014
Those courses include Roger Peng's Computing for Data Analysis and Jeff Leek's "Data Analysis", and they all use the R language. That means more than 1,000,000 new students have been exposed to R in the last two years! On this basis alone it seems clear that the estimate of two million R users wordwide is an underestimate.

R Wiki: Google Summer of Code 2014
by James Paul Peruvankal, Senior Program Manager at Revolution Analytics
At Revolution Analytics, we are always interested in how people teach and learn R, and what makes R so popular, yet 'quirky' to learn. To get some insight from a real pro we interviewed Bob Muenchen. Bob is the author of R for SAS and SPSS Users and, with Joseph M. Hilbe, R for Stata Users. He is also the creator of r4stats.com, a popular web site devoted to analyzing trends in analytics software and helping people learn the R language. Bob is an Accredited Professional Statistician™ with 30 years of experience and is currently the manager of OIT Research Support (formerly the Statistical Consulting Center) at the University of Tennessee. He has conducted research for a variety of public and private organizations and has assisted on more than 1,000 graduate theses and dissertations. He has written or coauthored over 60 articles published in scientific journals and conference proceedings.
Bob has served on the advisory boards of SAS Institute, SPSS Inc., StatAce OOD, the Statistical Graphics Corporation and PC Week Magazine. His suggested improvements have been incorporated into SAS, SPSS, JMP, STATGRAPHICS and several R packages. His research interests include statistical computing, data graphics and visualization, text analysis, data mining, psychometrics and resampling.
James: How did you get started teaching people how to use statistical software?
Bob: When I came to UT in 1979, many people were switching from either FORTRAN or SPSS to SAS. There was quite a lot of demand for SAS training, and I enjoyed teaching the workshops. Back then SAS could save results, like residuals or predicted values, much more easily than SPSS, which drove the switch.
When the Windows version of SPSS came out, people started switching back. The SPSS user interface designer, Sheri Gilley, really understood what ease of use was all about, and the SAS folks didn't get that until quite recently. I was just as happy teaching the SPSS workshops. However, many SPSS users at UT avoid programming, which I think is a big mistake. Pointing-and-clicking your way through an analysis can be a time-saving way to work, but I always keep the program so I have a record of what I did.
I started teaching R workshops in 2005 and attendance was quite sparse. Now it's one of our Research Computing Support team's most popular topics.
James: Is there anything special about teaching people how to use R, any particular difficulties?
Bob: In other analytics software, the focus is on variables. It sounds too simple to even bother saying: "Every procedure accepts variables." There are very few ways to specify them, such as by simple name, A, B, C, or lists like A TO Z or A—Z.
Rather than just variables, R has a variety of objects such as vectors, factors and matrices. Some procedures (called functions in R) require particular kinds of objects and there are many more ways to specify which objects to use. From a new user's perspective that may seem like needless complexity. However it provides significant benefits. Once an R user has defined a categorical variable as a factor, analyses will then try to "do the right thing" with that variable. For instance, you could include it in a regression equation and R would create the indicator variables needed to handle a categorical variable automatically.
Another important benefit to R's object orientation is that it allows a total merger of what would normally be a separate matrix language into the main language of R. This attracts developers, who are helping grow R's capabilities very rapidly.
James: How do you handle such a broad range of backgrounds in your classes?
Bob: The workshop participants do come from a very wide range of fields, but they share a common set of knowledge: what a variable is, how to analyze data, and so on. So I save a great deal of time by not having to explain all that. Instead, I redirect it into pointing out where R is likely to surprise them. You can have variables that are not in a data set? That's a bizarre concept to a SAS, SPSS or Stata user. You can have X in one data set and Y in another, but include both in the same regression model? That sounds very strange at first and, of course, it's quite risky if you're not careful. I introduce most topics with, "You're expecting this, but here comes something very different…". Different doesn't necessarily mean better, of course. SAS, SPSS and Stata are all top-quality packages and they do some things with less effort. I love R, but I like to point out where I think the others do a better job.
James: How do you find teaching online compared to classroom courses?
Bob: I teach my workshops in-person at The University of Tennessee and I've taught at the American Statistical Association's Joint Statistical Meeting as well as the UseR! Conference. Teaching "live" is great fun, and being able to see the participants' expressions is helpful in adjusting the presentation pace and knowing when to stop and ask for questions.
However, live workshops have major drawbacks. Travel costs can easily exceed the fee for a workshop, but worse, minimizing those expenses means cramming too much material into a short timeframe. That's why I teach my webinars in half-day stretches skipping a day in between. We break every hour and fifteen minutes so people can relax. On their days off they can catch up on their regular work, review the workshop material, work on the exercises and email me with questions. At the end of a live workshop people are happy but exhausted and they leave quickly. At the end of a webinar-based workshop, they often stay for a long time afterwards asking questions. I stay online as long as it takes to answer them all.
James: Some people like learning actively, with their hands on the keyboard. Others prefer to focus more on what's being said and taking notes. How do you handle these styles?
Bob: This is an excellent question! When I take a workshop myself, I usually prefer hands-on but sometimes I don't. Each of my workshop attendees receives setup instructions a week early so their computer has the software installed and the files in the right place by the time we start. They're ready for whichever learning style they prefer.
For hands-on learners, I use a single R program that contains the course notes as programming comments interspersed with executable code. Since the "slides" are right in front of them, they never need to take their eyes off their screens. The examples are designed to be easy to covert to their own projects. They build in a step-by-step fashion, going from simple to more complex to make sure no one gets lost. Participants can run each example as I cover it, and see the results on their own computers.
For people focused more on listening and taking notes, everyone also has a complete set of slides. The slides have the notes that describe each concept, then the code for it, followed by the output. The notes follow a numbering scheme that is used in both the program and the handout. This way, both types of learners stay in sync.
This dual approach has another benefit. It's very easy to switch from one style to the other at any time. If someone gets tired of typing, or his or her computer malfunctions, switching to the notes is seamless. Conversely, if someone is following the printed notes and want switch to run an example, it's very easy to find.
James: What motivated you to start writing books?
Bob: I've always enjoyed writing newsletter and journal articles. My books on R started out just as a set of notes that I kept for myself. When I put them online, they started getting thousands of hits and Springer called to ask if I could make it a book. I really didn't think I had enough information, but it kept growing. The second edition of R for SAS and SPSS Users is 686 pages and I have notes on a few topics that I wish I had added. If I ever find time for a third edition, they'll be in there.
James: Thank you Bob for your time!
If you are looking to learn R and are already familiar with software like SAS, SPSS or Stata, do check out Bob's upcoming workshops here and here.

Marinated Rib Steaks with Garlic Parsley Butter
|Pinot noir
|1 Cup (16 tbs) (Medium Bodied)
|1 Large, thinly sliced
|Freshly ground black pepper
|To Taste
|Vegetable oil
|6 Tablespoon
|Rib steaks
|22 Ounce, trimmed of excess fat (2 Pieces, 11 Ounce Each On / Off The Bone, 3/4 Inch Thick)
|Unsalted butter
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs) (At Room Temperature)
|Minced garlic
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
|2 Tablespoon
|All purpose flour
|1 Teaspoon
1. In a small saucepan, bring the wine to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until reduced by one-fourth (to 3/4 cup), about 4 minutes. Let cool slightly.
2. In a glass, ceramic, or other nonreactive dish just large enough to hold the steaks, whisk together the reduced wine, the shallot, and a few generous grindings of pepper. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the oil. Add the steaks and turn a few times to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, turning and basting every so often. Refrigerate if marinating any longer than this.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash together the butter, garlic, parsley, flour, a pinch of salt, and a few grindings of pepper until well combined. Shape into 4 tablespoon-sized rounds, put on a small plate, cover, and refrigerate.
4. Remove the steaks from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Blot the steaks lightly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and sprinkle generously with salt.
5. Preheat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Carefully add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and swirl the oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Add the steaks and cook for about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
6. Transfer the steaks to serving plates and pour off any fat in the skillet. Keep the steaks warm in a very low (200°F) oven.
7. Let the skillet cool for about 30 seconds and then place over medium heat. Add the reserved marinade and cook until reduced by half, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits. Remove from the heat and whisk in the garlic-parsley butter, 1 piece at a time, until smooth. Spoon the sauce over the steaks and serve immediately.

The Bulletin is looking for the creepiest artwork and stories for its annual Creepy Tales section.
Children of all grades, kindergarten through grade 12, are invited to draw a scary picture or write a scary story and submit it to us. Submissions should be received by The Bulletin by 5 p.m., Oct. 10. All work should be received by The Bulletin no later than that date and time, so we can get all drawings and stories up on our website as soon as possible.
This year, we'll be doing things a little bit differently: We're going to have the public choose their favorite entries that they want to see printed in the newspaper on Oct. 28, in time for Halloween. Once all the drawings and stories are online at NorwichBulletin.com, we'll allow people to vote for the creepiest tales to be featured in The Bulletin.
We'll take the top vote-getters from elementary grades (kindergarten-grade 5), middle school grades (grades 6-8) and high school. Stories should be original ideas, type-written and no longer than 350 words. Kids, if you aren't a good typist, ask your family to help out. Type-written stories are much easier to read online than hand-written ones.
Drawings should be original ideas on paper that is 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches. Colorful drawings show up great online!
On the back of every entry, the child should have:
- Child's name
- Home town
- School and teacher's name
- Grade
- Home phone number for parent or guardian
Teachers: If you want to do this as a class project, collect all the entries and send them in one packet — or drop them off — with your contact information as well as the above information.

Hotels in Florence
Hotels in Florence were once limited but today they are plentiful, thanks to new openings over the last decade. Many properties have also invested in renovations, so chances are you'll find amenities to rival those in leading hotels in any other major European city. For those who demand the utmost in luxury, the best hotels in Florence include the elegant J.K. Place Hotel, set in a Piazza Santa Maria Novella townhouse, and the Golden Tower Hotel on Piazza Strozzi are considered gems.
History buffs would do better to turn to Florence hotels that date back to the 15th and 16th centuries, such as the Casci Hotel, centrally located between San Lorenzo and the Duomo. Finally, for travelers who are looking for more wallet-friendly options, there's an array of bed and breakfasts located within easy walking or driving distance from the city's main attractions. But be forewarned that even though there are more rooms available at hotels in Florence than ever before, the city draws so many visitors that it's still important to book well in advance.
Named for the Italian Renaissance architect and engineer Filippo Brunelleschi, this historic property in the heart of Florence occupies the Byzantine Pagliazza Tower.
The hotel, located in the bohemian Oltrarno neighborhood, is run by members of the families behind budget airline Blu-express and fashion company Save the Queen. Though small in size (there are only four suites), the hotel is high on style.
This 20-room townhouse hotel overlooking the precision Renaissance façade of Santa Maria Novella offers attentive, personal service in intimate, contemporary surroundings. And with a staff to guest ratio of 1:2, it puts a premium on service.
Housed in a 19th-century palazzo within walking distance of the Duomo, Hotel Cellai is filled with nooks and crannies that are now transformed into sitting rooms, terraces, and lounges.
Housed in a classic Florentine palace dating from the 15th century, this iconic hotel is situated within a six-minute walk of the Duomo, Galleria degli Uffizi, and Piazza della Signoria.
This turreted villa has Art Nouveau touches and views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Situated in the town of Castagneto Carducci, in Alta Maremma it holds a pitch-perfect mix of antique furnishings and neo-Baroque accents such as beaded lamps enlivens the seven fashionable rooms.
Located just outside the village of Poppi, about 90 minutes south of Florence, Casa Ombuto is a restored 17th-century farmhouse (referred to as a villa) with a terracotta roof, stone walls, and panoramic views of the 80-acre estate surrounded by rolling hills.
In the mid-19th century, romantic British artists and writers flocked to Florence, and poets Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning were among them. In 1847, the couple rented a flat in Piazza San Felice in the Oltrarno, not far from Palazzo Pitti.
Famed hotelier Rocco Forte's sister, Olga Polizzi, overhauled the storied Savoy's 102 rooms in a contemporary mix of snowy linens, dark wood furnishings, bright scatter cushions, and quirky pictures of shoes—a nod to the fact that Ferragamo actually owns the walls of this 19th- century palazzo on
Staying in the 18th-century Villa Olmi Resort—surrounded by expansive green acres just 10 minutes from Florence's Duomo—means not having to choose between city and country.
A former house of Napoleon III's widow, Empress Eugénie, now a boutique hotel that overlooks the city center.
Only a two-minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio, the 74-room Gallery Hotel Art is popular with members of the fashion industry thanks to its stylish interiors by local designer Michele Bönan.
The hippest of the four Ferragamo-owned Florentine hotels, the Continentale also has an unbeatable location—right over the Ponte Vecchio, a bridge over the Arno lined by teensy medieval shops.
This affordable guesthouse—opened in 2005 as a Florentine outpost of successful Roman experiment in a new kind of Italian lodging—features 13 themed accommodations in a prime location near Santa Maria Novella church.
