Frank Spaziani was loyal to BC to the end

Was comfortable in his many roles

Frank Spaziani’s teams got progressively worse during his four years and he finished with a 22-29 mark.

Frank Spaziani’s teams got progressively worse during his four years and he finished with a 22-29 mark.

Sixty-one years is a long time to wait, but patience had never been one of Frank Spaziani’s issues.

He spent eight years at the University of Virginia under George Welsh, an unfathomable lifespan at a time when college coaches have the life expectancy of an insect.

Every so often, reporters would wonder about Spaziani and the coaches on Welsh’s staff.

“It’s kind of a philosophical thing,” Spaziani said. “Everybody has different ways they go about things, grow into stuff.’’

Reporters at Virginia would ask him, “Why are you guys still with George Welsh? Don’t you have any ambition?”

He could have taken it as an insult. It wasn’t like he didn’t have a good thing going with Welsh. They went to four bowl games at Virginia on top of the three they reached with Navy.

But the matter was more philosophical for Spaziani, “a Nietzsche thing,” he calls it. He could look around the country and point to schools, be it Penn State or Virginia Tech, where staffs had been together for decades.

“Staffs stay together, it’s a value thing,” he said. “Some of them had opportunities and balanced and weighed things out. The grass is always greener. If that’s what you want to do, and that’s what you need to fulfill yourself, then that’s how you have to think. But you can fulfill yourself other ways, too. That doesn’t mean anything more than that.

“What’s it worth to uproot your family? Where’s the balance to it? Are you willing to take that chance, not take it? Somebody will look at it and say you don’t have ambition. Somebody will say you have reckless ambition.”

Nothing about Spaziani has ever been reckless. He is loose and casual, but still measured with an even temperament. Above all else though, he was loyal.

It’s the signature of the 16 years he spent at Boston College. It was the reason he was hired in 2009 by then-athletic director Gene DeFilippo. He was the antithesis, in DeFilippo’s eyes, of his predecessor Jeff Jagodzinski, who was fired after two seasons when he tried to test the NFL waters.

But the program declined during each of his four seasons. He came into this season with his job security in question and once a season-ending loss to North Carolina State dropped the Eagles to 2-10, it was all but a formality he would be relieved of his duties, even with his years of loyal service to the university.

When he spoke to his players in the locker room at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, there was never a hint it would be his last words to the team.

“He just told us we’ve got to keep our heads up, we’ve got to keep trying to make strides forward and we’re going to get this thing turned around,” said junior receiver Alex Amidon. “Just positive things. He always tried to stay positive.”

But the writing was on the wall. The résumé Spaziani left was damning. BC lost to all 11 ranked teams they faced during his tenure. The defense was a shell of the units he took pride in building for 10 years. Only one team in Eagles history lost more games than this year’s team.

He inherited more than his share of instability, watching Jagodzinski’s 2008 recruiting class whittle down from 29 to the nine that remained this season, leaving him with little senior leadership.

Spaziani also created some for himself on his coaching staff. He parted ways with Gary Tranquill and Kevin Rogers, who took some of Spaziani’s assistants with him to Temple. Spaziani hired five new assistant coaches before the start of this season.

It was also obvious that he was still very much a defensive coordinator at heart. It wasn’t unusual to hear players say their conversations with Spaziani were minimal if they had them at all.

In practice, he would watch from midfield, disconnected from the defense he used to coach and uninterested in imposing on the offense that Doug Martin was fine-tuning.

He didn’t realize how important his old job was until he took on his new one.

“You learn how important assistant coaches are,” he said. “Man, it’s really important.”

Spaziani wasn’t afraid to discipline players, even if it was to the detriment of his record. He suspended senior receiver Colin Larmond for four games for disciplinary reasons and sat his top returning rusher, Deuce Finch, because of personal issues.

“Losing both of them hurt,” Amidon said. “But you can’t ever question a reason for the coaches doing what they do. That’s the way I look at it. It definitely hurt, but they had their reasons.”

The bonds Spaziani built with some players were tighter than others. Naturally, he connected more with the defense, where he tended to be more hands-on. Senior defensive back Jim Noel got to know Spaziani when he was at Everett High. Spaziani came to his basketball game. From that point on, Noel said, they had a great relationship.

“Spaz was one of the main reasons I came here,” he said. “I believed in the feelings he had for the people on the defense and just people in general.”

He saw the toll losing took on Spaziani.

“Spaz cares tremendously for this program,” Noel said. “I think he’d give his own life for this program and that’s what people don’t see on the outside. That’s what players see on the inside.”

There’s a den in the office Spaziani will leave behind lit dimly and decorated to entertain. The flat-screen television was rarely on. But his iPod played a lot of Springsteen, some Beatles, some Beach Boys.

He kept a few books scattered across a long coffee table. Terry Taylor’s “Stache” seemed to be there for laughs. Joe Torre’s “Yankee Years” and Tony Dungy’s “Quiet Strength” seemed to be there for wisdom. Laurence Gane’s “Introducing Nietzsche” seemed to be there for reasons somewhere in between.

Spaziani would pronounce it Nitschke, like the linebacker, and even though it sounded like he was joking, you were never quiet sure.

Every now and then, he’d delve into the existential, like when he thought of those reporters in Virginia and ambition versus complacency.

He started to tell a story about an uncle who used to say, “You’ve got to learn to be satisfied.” The thing about that philosophy, Spaziani said, was his uncle was a junk man.

“But the guy was the happiest guy I know,” he said. “He was the kind of guy that traveled to Germany with his wife, stayed 36 hours, and said, ‘Ok, I’ve seen it.’ ”

The parallels between that trip and Spaziani’s 61-year journey to becoming a head coach are vague, but they’re there.

“I know a lot of coaches that have moved around chasing their tail and regret it,” Spaziani said. “Is that wrong? You don’t know,” he said. “You’ve got to live it yourself.”

Antanas Smetona

president of Lithuania

Antanas Smetona, (born Aug. 10, 1874, Ukmergė District, Lithuania, Russian Empire—died Jan. 9, 1944, Cleveland), Lithuanian statesman and journalist who in 1919 became the first president of Lithuania and later returned to power as an authoritarian head of state for the last 13 years of his country’s independence.

After the Russian Revolution of 1905 broke out, Smetona, who had recently graduated from law school (1902), became editor of the first Lithuanian daily newspaper, Vilniaus Žinios, and of the Democratic Party’s organ, Lietuvos Ūkininkas; he was also elected to the presidium of the Vilnius Diet, which proclaimed Lithuanian autonomy within the Russian Empire (1905). Although the intensity of political activity declined after the revolution was suppressed, Smetona continued his journalistic career, editing the journal Viltis (1907–13) and founding Vairas (1913), which later became the organ of the Nationalist Party.

During the German military occupation of the country in World War I, Smetona was unanimously elected president (in September 1917) of the Lietuvos Taryba, or Council of Lithuania, and, after the Taryba proclaimed Lithuania’s independence (1918), he served as provisional president of the republic (April 1919–June 1920). In 1921 he served as chairman of the Lithuanian delegation at Riga for the settlement of the Latvian–Lithuanian boundary dispute.

After the military coup d’état of Dec. 16–17, 1926, organized by a right-wing Nationalist group and backed by the Christian Democrats, Smetona was again elected president of the Lithuanian Republic. He was reelected in 1931 and in 1938. On June 15, 1940, when Lithuania was occupied by Soviet forces, he fled to Germany and thence, in March 1941, to the United States.

Bernardo Daddi

Italian painter

Bernardo Daddi, (born c. 1290, Florence?—died c. 1355, Florence?), Florentine painter of the early Italian Renaissance who was a pupil of Giotto and was influenced by Pietro Lorenzetti. Daddi’s efforts to fuse the plastic qualities of Giotto’s art with some aspects of Sienese art came to represent the dominant style of painting directly after Giotto. Daddi’s work, from the period 1328–48, ranges from Madonna images in large church altarpieces to small panels for citizens’ prayers. Though known for his technique of building up his figures with the softened weight expected of a Giotto pupil, Daddi added grace by emphasizing a curving line. His figures have a sharp, bright presence as they turn before tapestried thrones.

Sir John Cowdery Kendrew

British biochemist

Sir John Cowdery Kendrew, (born March 24, 1917, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England—died August 23, 1997, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire), British biochemist who determined the three-dimensional structure of the muscle protein myoglobin, which stores oxygen in muscle cells. For his achievement he shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Max Ferdinand Perutz in 1962.

  • Max Ferdinand Perutz (left) and John Cowdery Kendrew, 1962.

Kendrew was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, receiving his Ph.D. there in 1949. In 1946–47 he and Perutz founded the Medical Research Council Unit for Molecular Biology at Cambridge. They used the technique of X-ray crystallography to study the structures of proteins, with Perutz studying hemoglobin and Kendrew trying to determine the structure of the somewhat simpler molecule of myoglobin. By 1960, with the use of special diffraction techniques and the help of computers to analyze the X-ray data, Kendrew was able to devise a three-dimensional model of the arrangement of the amino acid units in the myoglobin molecule, which was the first time this had been accomplished for any protein.

A fellow of Peterhouse College, Cambridge, from 1947 to 1975, Kendrew was also deputy chairman of the Medical Research Council Unit and, from 1971, chairman of the Defence Scientific Advisory Council. He was knighted in 1974 and became president of St. John’s College, Oxford, in 1981.

Nordraak began composing music as a child. He was sent at age 15 to Copenhagen, Den., for training in business, but he also studied music while there. In 1859 he gave up the study of business and went to Berlin for six months to continue his music training, returning to Norway for two further years of study. During this period he became involved in the Nye Norske Selskab (“New Norwegian Society”), met Ole Bull, and immersed himself in the nationalistic movement then popular in literature and the other arts. His Four Dances for piano was published in 1859–60. After working in Berlin for two more years, Nordraak went to Copenhagen and, with Edvard Grieg and others, founded Euterpe, a musical society dedicated to the performance of works by young Scandinavian composers. In 1864 Nordraak’s music for the national anthem, with words by his cousin Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, was published. In May 1865, Nordraak once again traveled to Berlin to work and study. While there, he contracted tuberculosis and died.

His works—which include the incidental music Maria Stuart i Skotland and Sigurd Slembe, several pieces for a capella male chorus, and a number of songs and instrumental pieces—are characterized by simplicity and economy. His compositions were much influenced by Norwegian folk music, which he collected.

3 Steps To Become A Virtualization Expert

By Jay McCall, Business Solutions Magazine

This MSP implemented a radical new business strategy, which led to a doubling of its profits three years in a row.

Choice Solutions was a $21 million general practice networking VAR when we first spoke with their president and CEO, Jim Steinlage, back in April 2009. The company was projecting 17% growth at a time when the economy was tanking. Three years later I caught up with Jim Steinlage to see how things turned out and was surprised to hear what he had to say. Not only had he made radical changes to his business that were unprecedented in my seven+ years interviewing VAR and MSP (managed services provider) business owners (e.g. he eliminated five business practices, which initially cut his number of employees and revenue in half), but the results were equally surprising. Before I share the three most important decisions Choice Solutions made three years ago, which are contributing the most to its growth and profitability, let me share the one word Steinlage believes sums it all up. Focus. That one simple word is what this MSP president believes turned his average channel business into a world-class organization. “I think too many companies are too diversified, just like we were three years ago,” he says. “This business works just like a healthcare practice. Which doctors have the longest waiting lists and charge the most money? It’s the specialists, not the generalists.”

Step 1: Determine Which IT Practice Is Most Important, Sell Off The Rest
In the 2009 time frame, Choice Solutions was a 60-employee IT solutions provider and MSP that had a lot of bragging rights. They were early adopters of VoIP and unified communications and had a successful Avaya practice. They were one of the first to become a SharePoint reseller and had even won a project with a Fortune 50 company. They had a successful Microsoft Dynamics practice, an ECM (enterprise content management) division, a Web development practice, and an infrastructure division that was skilled in desktop and server virtualization, and they even hosted some of their customers’ applications in their data center. To make matters worse, 2009 was not exactly a booming economy. In fact, if there was ever a time to adopt a “take what you can get” attitude in business, this was the time to do it. But, not Choice Solutions; this was the time when it took a firm stance and decided to make some radical moves, eliminating all their business practices except virtualization over the next year and a half. “The reality was we were losing our market edge,” recalls Steinlage. “We were only winning about 4 out of every 10 deals we were in, and our competitors were cherry-picking our best team members within our business practices. All our research pointed to virtualization as being the best bet, so that’s where we put all our focus.”

Choice Solutions had long-term customers within each of its business practices that it still had obligations to service, and it had good people within those business practices that it didn’t want to let go. “In some cases, we found other VARs that we felt had been viable competitors within a technology practice, and we approached them and turned over certain customers to them,” says Steinlage. “In some instances where we had a good team member who wasn’t able to make the transition to a virtualization engineer or technician, the competitor hired that person.” The harsh reality, however, was that very few of the SharePoint, Microsoft Dynamics, or Avaya technical skill sets translated to virtualization skill sets, and by the end of 2010, Choice Solutions’ employee numbers had dwindled to 30.

Step #2: Hire And Train The Best Virtualization Workforce Possible
After stripping its business down to its core virtualization talent, Choice Solutions’ next focus was building up its expertise. The first part of this goal was hiring the best talent it could find. “We identified all the certifications held by the very best virtualization engineers and then set out to hire the top performers within this group,” recalls Steinlage. “This group represents the top 10% to 15% of IT skill sets available in the marketplace, so we knew we had our work cut out for ourselves.” The solutions provider achieved this task by setting up a thorough interview process that included, as one of the steps, having a candidate cross-examined by a team of his top engineers, sales reps, and internal support staff. This helped the company in a couple of ways. First, it made his team feel empowered that they were part of this important process and helped boost the corporate culture. And second, it helped Steinlage and his team more quickly identify the right fit for Choice Solutions. One of the most important litmus tests he used during the interview process was to gauge a candidate’s willingness to earn advanced certifications. “Not only does this speak to their work ethic, but with some of these advanced certifications, like CCIA [Citrix Certified Integration Architect], they can’t fake their way through. They really need to know the technology.”

According to Steinlage, there are a few companies that have one or two CCIA-certified engineers on staff. At press time, Steinlage has 13, and 2 more engineers are close to completing their certification. “The CCIA for virtualization is the highest Citrix certification and focuses on best practices for analysis and design of comprehensive, end-to-end virtualized environments,” says Steinlage. “The architect-level CCIA certifies the skills required for successful deployments, helping organizations improve implementations through lower costs, increased performance, and reduced time.” Additionally, the certification demonstrates the certificate holder has extensive architect-level field experience with virtualization solutions like Citrix XenApp, Citrix XenDesktop, and Citrix XenServer. Choice Solutions is so emphatic about training that it has invested in an on-site lab and offers some kind of hands-on training on a daily basis with senior engineers training junior engineers. All engineers average two weeks of off-site training, plus twice a year he brings engineers to headquarters — he has five locations throughout the U.S. — for corporate training. “This exercise is more about getting the team members together and giving them a general overview of all the different solutions we have, so they can determine where they can best contribute to the company,” says Steinlage. “It’s also a great team-building experience, giving engineers and technicians from different offices a chance to put a face with a name of someone whom they may have only interacted with over the phone previously.” He emphasizes this last point, stating that team-building exercises help build positive relationships and at the same time prevent work atmospheres filled with egotism and possessiveness.

Step #3: Partner With Other Specialists
The final part of Choice Solutions strategy is every bit as important as the other two. The fact is that your customers do prefer to work with fewer (ideally just one) solutions providers. And, the reality is that even a specialist has to be able to address its customers’ other IT pain points. The difference with Choice Solutions, however, is that it has learned to form strategic partnerships to fulfill its customers’ nonvirtualization needs, and it uses a professional organization called Avitas Partners (www.avitaspartners. com), which serves as both a peer group and a national network of IT service providers. The group is designed to help IT solutions providers share engineering talent, best practices documents and processes, vendor partner relationships, and training. “Within our group there are eight other companies similar in size to ours, located throughout the country,” says Steinlage. “Using Microsoft Lync, we’re able to collaborate with this group. We have a conference call once a month, and we meet face-to-face quarterly.” Not only does the group represent complementary skill sets to Choice Solutions’ skills (e.g. it also helps the solutions provider leverage relationships with some of its tier-one vendors such as Microsoft). “It gives us a much stronger voice if we need their help with a problem, and it makes it easier for them to reach 10 companies at once by sending a rep to one of our quarterly meetings,” says Steinlage. Not only does Choice Solutions leverage the group for idea sharing, it sometimes hands off leads to partners in geographic locations where Choice Solutions doesn’t have as strong a presence.

Virtualization Experts In High Demand
With all the benefits to be realized from virtualization, such as improved security, lower energy and IT management costs, and faster data recovery times, Steinlage’s predictions about virtualization’s growth were right on the mark. And his decision to build his business on this burgeoning trend has proven to be a wise one as well. “Our expertise is leading us into deals with larger companies than ever before,” he says. “We even have Fortune 500 companies seeking our consulting and implementation expertise with their server and desktop virtualization deployments.” Not only is Choice Solutions being pulled into larger deals, it’s win rate has nearly doubled from what it was three years ago (now at 85%). And as it is with a healthcare specialist, Steinlage is able to charge more than he did previously because of the level of expertise he has on staff. “We increased our hourly rates 30% over three years, during a tough economy,” he says. “And we receive less push back on price than we did previously.” What’s more is that since 2009, the company has doubled its profits year-over-year, and it’s on track to repeat that trend in 2012.

Even though Choice Solutions’ business strategy is vastly different from what many other VARs and MSPs are doing to grow their business, there’s a clear lesson to be had by all channel companies. The lesson is that if you find yourself winning less than half the deals you’re competing for and you’re losing top employees to your competitors, it’s probably a sign that you need to get refocused on the things that matter most.

8 Things We Learned During The NBA Playoffs’ First Weekend

One for each series.

We’re through two days of NBA Playoffs action, with more games to come tonight, and now we know a little bit more about what these teams are really made of. (Regular season, schmegular season, as nobody has ever said.) Here are the eight things — one from each series — that most stand out after one game.

1. Jason Terry is terrible and he needs to not be terrible

Elsa / Getty Images

The Celtics scored eight points in the fourth quarter against the Knicks in Game 1. EIGHT. That’s so few points that I have to write it out as a word, not use the corresponding number. Even style guides are biased against how badly the Celtics sucked on offense in the second half of that game. And, although that sort of disastrous performance implicates everyone involved, one of the main culprits has to be Jason Terry, who would’ve been more effective if he’d tied both his hands behind his back and tried to bounce the ball into the hoop with his nose. Terry played 20 minutes and scored 0 points on 0-5 shooting, including four three-pointers, most of which were rushed and sloppy heaves that appeared to have no chance of ending up in the hoop. All told, the Celtics’ bench produced an appalling four points total, all from Courtney Lee, and a little more scoring out of Lee would be nice — nobody expects anything out of Jordan Crawford — but if the Celtics are to keep up with the Knicks scoring-wise, they can’t depend on Jeff Green to carry them, like he did in the first half. Terry has to show some evidence that the dynamo who helped beat the Miami Heat in the 2011 Finals still exists, however faded he might be.

2. Jerry Stackhouse is a great singer!

The Brooklyn Nets’ Jerry Stackhouse sang the National Anthem prior to their game against the Chicago Bulls, and it was by far the most interesting part of the night — the Nets rolled the Bulls by 17, and it doesn’t look like Chicago has the offense necessary to beat the Nets, especially with Joakim Noah hobbled.

3. Paul George is BONAFIDE

Ron Hoskins / Getty Images

Here’s how you arrive in the first playoff game of your first season as your team’s A-option: you go for a triple-double. Paul George had 23 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds during Indiana’s win over the Hawks in what is easily the least interesting matchup of the 2012-13 playoffs. Seriously, I often forget that the Atlanta Hawks are even in the NBA, much less a playoff team. Considering the feebleness of the Hawks as an opponent, the main draw here comes from seeing whether the Pacers seem up to the task of offing the Knicks/Celtics for the privilege of losing to the Heat in the conference finals. So far, so good.

4. Brandon Jennings is a doofus

I mean, we already knew that, mostly. But the fact that he went out and predicted a Bucks win over the Heat in six, and then went out and failed to prevent his team from getting clobbered in Game 1 — although he did lead the team in scoring — just confirms it. Other than that, we learned something we also already knew: Guy Fieri has a better chance of catering the next New York Times office party than the Bucks have of winning this series.

5. Old Man Andre Miller’s still got something in the tank

28 points, including a game-winning layup. Miller picked up all the slack left by the season-ending injury to Danilo Gallinari during Game 1, which became particularly important in light of the surprisingly tepid offense produced by the rest of the Nugs. It’s fitting that Miller’s 37, because he plays his age: his performance was a masterpiece of body control and shifty pivot-foot machinations, creating space where there appeared to be none. The Nuggets’ victory at the point-guard position was surprising considering that Stephen Curry is the best player on either of these teams, but Curry started off slow and Miller plus starter Ty Lawson combined for enough velocity to push Denver through. If the Warriors had stolen that win in Denver, they would’ve had a shot in this series; without it, and without David Lee, who tore his hip flexor during the game, you can practically give the Nuggets the series already.

D. Clarke Evans / Getty Images

The conventional wisdom was that the Lakers might — might — have a shot against the Spurs if a hobbled Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili hamstrung their ability to score. That did not happen. Ginobili, who was playing in only his second game since returning from a hamstring injury, dropped 18 points on the Lakers’ hilariously thin backcourt, and Parker contributed another 18. Considering that the Lakers only managed 79 points of their own, they would’ve needed a heroic effort to keep the Spurs even loosely within striking distance; the reality is that, hurt TP and Ginobili or not, L.A. doesn’t have a prayer of winning a game in this series unless they’re scoring close to triple digits.

7. Zach Randolph will do his damndest to kill Blake Griffin

Zach Randolph wants Blake Griffin dead. It’s that simple. His approach to guarding and posting up Griffin in the first game of their series was to use his body, and specifically his massive midsection, to abuse the muscular but smaller Griffin as brutally as he could. It worked to an extent — BG only had 10 points and five rebounds in 25 minutes, all very small totals for him — but the Clippers still managed to rule the boards and ended up clobbering Memphis.

8. Russell Westbrook somehow upped the sartorial ante

Taiwan at the centre of a booming satellite navigation industry, says Canalys

- Canalys Navigation Forum comes to Taipei in May

Taipei - Thursday, 13 March 2008

Recent market data released by leading industry analyst firm Canalys shows how the boom in the global satellite navigation market is continuing. Worldwide shipments of mobile GPS navigation devices increased from 16.8 million in 2006 to 39.0 million last year, with Taiwan emerging as the fourth-largest market in Asia Pacific in terms of shipments and home to many of the OEMs and ODMs that are so vital to this industry. It is therefore critical that Taiwanese manufacturers stay in touch with the changing market dynamics to stay competitive.

“Taiwan already has a key role in the global navigation industry,” said Chris Jones, Canalys VP and principal analyst. “But the industry is changing. The US market has taken off, but seen rapid declines in selling prices, and the Asia Pacific region is now growing faster than Europe. Hardware vendors are buying mapping and software companies. Different vendors lead these different markets and knowing who to partner with will be crucial for future success. In addition we will see big changes in device capabilities and platform choices over the next few years. Portable Navigation Devices (PNDs) today account for 90% of shipments, but smart phones are the fastest growing mobile GPS navigation device category and have great potential, especially in large, underpenetrated markets like China and India. The integration of cellular connectivity by PND vendors is also going to throw up huge technical, marketing and channel issues; and the development of additional revenue streams through new location-aware services, though attractive, presents many challenges for manufacturers, software companies and network operators.”

On 15 May 2008, the Canalys Navigation Forum will bring navigation and location technology business leaders and innovators together in Taipei to share insights and discuss the future development of the global and local market, as well as present analysis from its new Taiwan mobility market survey. Chris Jones will be joined on stage by Canalys CEO Steve Brazier, leading analysts from Asia and Europe, and other industry figures.

Chris Jones added, “GPS devices are about to spread far beyond their established markets in Japan, Korea, Europe and the US to reach consumers globally. GPS integration in mobile phones, cameras and other devices will bring far greater volumes than we are seeing now, while driving down costs even further. For Taiwan these changes present both an opportunity and a threat.” Jones continued, “Taiwanese OEMs and ODMs need to understand how big these markets are; they also need to ensure they’re working with the right technology and business partners; and they need to keep a close eye on technology developments to understand how they can remain competitive, driving down material costs while producing market-leading devices. The Canalys Navigation Forum in Taipei is an essential event for those who wish to maximise their chances of success in this industry over the next few years.”

classic American power

Everything....Fast, classic and loud. I love this car because it is a piece of history and everybody wants to look at it. The car is very fast and loud and I just love driving it. The body is in perfect condition and almost everything has been rebuilt. The engine is brand new and has been completely done up.

We dealt with April and Gordon, horrible. Please remove our emails and phone numbers from your database.

I visited this facility

Being so far away from my Uncle and being the appointed person to tend to his affairs, I depend on the honesty and reliability of information I read on the internet. My Uncle has the symptoms of dementia with the onset of Alzheimer's to be expected. The Heron House website advertises Interactive Life Stations as part of the program with areas meant to engage residents and bring back specific memories and functions ... check out the baby nursery, office and hobby workbench. After many attempts to get information on this program, I have found out that this does not exist. I asked my Aunt who lives in St. Pete to stop in. The people she talked to knew nothing about this. We entrust our dearly loved and cherished family members to the care of strangers, When honesty is at issue - what is next? I would not with a clear conscience recommend this facility.

Karen122980050 April 06, 2016

I brought my aunt with me to Heron House because I wanted her to be able to see it. She was very impressed with the marketing director. The dining room has open dining, so my aunt, who doesn’t three meals a day, can go whenever she wants. She can sit down and someone will wait on her. They will tell her what’s on the menu because she can’t read it, and then help her escort her back. We asked all these questions at the beginning and they answered all the questions correctly. For me, the size of the room impressed me. The room that she has is an extra large studio and that was what was available, and that was what she needed. It was more than a small room; she wanted a little extra space. It was nice and spacious.

We chose Heron House for my mother. She was there for 10 days, and then she fell. Now, she's in rehab. Heron House was definitely a very nice place. I liked the rooms. They were nice. My mother had an especially nice room with a nice view. The staff seemed very nice and very accommodating. They had a wonderful dining room where you could order from a menu, plus the other things that you could order not on the menu, which was nice. They did not have a set time for meals, so you could go there anytime you wanted, which was really the nicest thing. The food was good. They had a lot of activities, like trips. I heard music and saw residents playing a game in the lobby. They also had a rehab facility right on the premises. It was very lovely and very inviting when you enter the foyer. They had an upstairs and a downstairs place to sit with big-screen TV. That way, the people upstairs would not have to go downstairs, or you could go sit in the balcony areas. It was very nice. I, also, especially liked the fact that they accepted Medicaid.

Heron House Indian Rocks was actually recommended by a friend who stayed in Florida. My mom is in the assisted living, and it seems to be working out pretty well. The rooms are very nice, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We actually looked at 5 or 6 facilities, and this one had the nicest amenities and had a nice feel to it. They have a lot of activities. They have entertainment that come in from the local community almost every day with music and things like that. The dining facility is really nice. They have shuttle service to go out to shopping and things like that. They have a beauty parlor on site as well as a physical therapy room. I think the food is good. They have it set up so that it is like a restaurant -- menus and you can come down whenever it's open, and have whatever you want. It was the only one in my mom's price range where she could actually have a private room instead of having a roommate. The other thing is that it doesn't look like an institution; it looks like a hotel. It has a really nice look and feel to it. They have tracking necklaces for all their residents, so they know exactly where they are all the time.

The staff is very nice and friendly and they do try very hard. They seem to have a lot of turnover in the nursing staff, which leads to inconsistent care. Residents who requires help getting to meals and showering need a family advocate looking out for them to make sure that they are actually being taken to the dining room and that they are actually showering them. Please do not think you can put your loved one into assisted living and everything will happen like it is supposed to! You will need to be checking on them and be their voice when needed.

Heron House is excellent; the staff and volunteers are very friendly. They’re primarily supported by the church that my mother actually attended. Their primary goal is not for profit, though they do take subsidies from the government. My mother is living in a little condo. She participates in activities, and they have things going on all day long. The facility is open and airy. It has two floors. They have a nice recreation facility, field trips twice a week, and it is somewhere that they can stay active. They really have a caring nature, and the place is very clean and the foods are healthy.

Mom went into Heron House on December 1st. The staff is wonderful. They're very friendly and very knowledgeable. The director is very personable, gets to know the residents there and their family members and remembers my name every time I go over there or call. They're very, very helpful and communicative as far as what's going on with my mother since I can't be there every day.

I can always call them and ask. If the person is not available right away I get a call back within the day. Our mother is in a shared suite, but they each have their own bedroom and they share the common areas, so it's very spacious. But she does have a privacy which she likes. Everybody there is so friendly and they remember her name.

The dining room is beautiful. The food is very, very good; we've met the chef. My mom is afraid she's going to gain so much weight. They have bingo, Bible studies, scenic ride tours, someone coming in to entertain or sing, they have a bus ride to church on Sundays, and they have movie nights. There's a ton of activities and everyday there's something on the calendar. It's also right around the corner from where my sister lives.

Heron House is the next place that I would choose for my mom. The main thing was that she could go outside and won't be confined in the same building, which is very rare in memory care. Shedd be allowed to sit down in the gazebo and enjoy the grounds outside as well as being inside. It was beautiful inside. It was very nice, very quiet, and most importantly, very clean. It was also very secure. The staff seemed very attentive. We weren't in there very long, but what we saw, we liked.

Nancy 4 October 30, 2012

I am a friend or relative of a resident

Mom' been in Heron House for two months now. The facility was laid out very nicely. The only thing I'm not happy with them is she has to share a room with a person, but they are not large enough for a companion suite. They share the bathroom, small kitchen area, and a closet. The staff was lovely. They know her name. If you do not show up for a meal they come and knock on your door and ask why you're not there. Same thing with medication. They also remind them with doctor's appointments.

They have activities, a nice garden outside. The only drawback is it's on the main road, and I don't like that because a person can walk out the front door. If they have any kind of dementia, they can step out and get killed by a car very easily. Family members can come and visit 24/7. I have a key to my mother's apartment. The nurses, aides and LPN would call me if my mother has fallen. I'm informed of any doctor's appointment my mom would have. But my mom misses living with me. She's not happy at all. I'm going to talk to them about restricting my mother's sodium intake because she has congestive heart failure.

I visited this facility

Very pretty place with interesting design. The staff is very nice and seem to know what they are doing. They also are appear to know most of the names of the residents. Lots of activities for the residents are available such as exercise, a gathering place specifically designed for social gatherings, group games, crafts and other recreational activities. The staff actively encourage everyone to participate in activities, inviting them to join in! Very pretty buildings and different floor plans. Meals are even included and the chefs attempt to make them as home cooked as possible, I did not try the food though so I can't form an opinion on it. Florida in general seems a nice environment to retire and most of the people I encountered during my visit to Heron House in Indian Rocks seemed well adjusted and pleased with living in the assisted living facility. I am also very impressed with how clean it is, almost immaculate! Very beautiful place.

My grandmother was a resident at this facility and I visited her several times. In my opinion the facility was always clean and beautifully decorated. The entrance was very inviting and had a beautiful area in the front where residents could sit and watch people coming and going. The staff was very friendly and always remembered mine and my aunt's name. My grandmother had a private room that was easy to find on the first floor. They were always coming to her room to see if she wanted to participate in the many activities they had going on. During the holidays they had holiday-specific meals that were quite good! Her private room was cleaned daily, and she always had they key on a string around her neck in case she lost it. They had doctors on staff, so she didn't have to leave the facility to see her doctor. Overall I really like the Heron House.

My wife and I visited Heron House and were quite placed with what we saw and experienced. If something should happen to my wife or me or if my son could not help us any longer, this is the place we would choose. It is a class act facility.

We have visited several facilities for my parents who are in their mid-nineties. This facility is the best one the ones we visited and have investigated in our area! All aspects are so impressive and we would trust all their care to taking care of my parents.
