OK - my Ambler/Blue Bell area foodies - Help me with this one!
I am planning a dinner with my friend/boss in November. We are celebrating 10 years of working together. The secret of our success ... a good meal and a nice California Sauvignon Blanc ... but I digress.
Want to go somewhere special - not our usual hangouts which include Mirnas in Blue Bell and Bocelli's in Gwynedd.
Would like to keep it close to the Blue Bell area - say a 15 minute radius.
My 1st thought was Brassiere 73 in Skippack. I've been told, if you can get a table near the fireplace, its pretty cool. Anyone had this experience?
Also high on the list is DeTerra in Ambler.
We are both into wine but I would rather not go to a BYOB this time. Otherwise, we are pretty flexible on menu choices except no sushi or Mexican!
Put on your thinking caps! I'm counting on your help!
P.S. Loved the idea of getting together for a dinner! Count me IN!!!!!
Radice just 3 blocks off 73 on 202 north has gotten very good reviews on their food. The grand opening bugs should be smoothed over by now, certainly by Nov.
My vote would be for Bridget's, they have a good bar and wine list, great service and atmosphere, really good steaks. Thats my go-to special occasion place.
If Deterra is on the company credit card, that is a good choice too. The atmosphere is amazing. They have a really nice patio with an outdoor fireplace that always looks so inviting.
I do really enjoy Brasserie 73, and it does have a nice atmosphere, both indoor and outdoor (they have a beautiful patio so great choice if the weather is nice).
I haven't been there in years but I recall the Skippack Roadhouse being really nice as well.
re: AmblerGirl
Radice is a possibility although my friend was there and said there were still some major bugs in the service - entire drink order for the table wrong - food coming out at different times for the table. I have not been there so hopefully by November, the kinks will be worked out.
I have never been a Bridget's fan - thought it was very overpriced.
Anyone been to the West Avenue Grill "2" in Dresher??
Since Skippack is in play, I would give some thought to Parc Bistro. I really enjoy Bridget's as well. I have been to Dettera a few times and each time I walk away feeling like it is way overpriced for just average food.
I agree with comments about Radiche....not high on my list...
Deterra has new menu that is supposedly more reasonably priced...
Hear that West Ave grille is good...tho not much atmosphere and REALLY loud!
I put in a vote for PARC BISTRO if coming to Skippack....interesting food...beautiful space...
re: ilovesummer
Wow - I must be weird - I like Parc Bistro but have never thought it was great. I've had a couple of dinners with friends there. I would compare it to a higher end Broad Axe Tavern.
re: Betharu
I personally would pick Deterra over Bridget's. I think Bridget's is more expensive, and in my experience lately the food's not as good at Bridget's
re: Betharu
You must have been there on an "off" night when Bill wasn't cooking. I'll also vote for Parc Bistro - IMHO leaps and bounds above Broad Axe.
If you and boss are really good buds, share a lobster, asparagus tip and wild cherry risotto appetizer. Its too much for one person but a great starter creation to seal a friendship. And the Blackberry Napoleon is not to be missed, if available.
Brasserie 73 is good but pricey and Fiesole disturbingly so for the quality of fare.
re: Chefpaulo
thanks...didn't think i was crazy with the parc bistro rec.....always have had GREAT meals there and innovative....my last two times at broad axe were so disappointing...that they are off my radar for now...
re: ilovesummer
I don't think Broad Axe has had a decent review since it re-opened. I love Parc Bistro!
re: ilovesummer
I'll have to give Parc Bistro another try - maybe I just wasn't with the right crowd! Sometimes the meal loses something if you aren't with people who appreciate culinary creativity or a good glass of wine!
re: ilovesummer
I heard the same thing about Deterra's menu, that they repriced to ensure all entrees are under $30, many under $20. I think that makese sense and is a smart move by the owners, they have been getting some bad word of mouth about the prices. I do personally lke Deterra (I know some do not on these boards) I would never pay the outrageous prices that were on the "opening" menu. I remember seeing a gorgeous veal chop that a patron next to me at the bar was eating and when I investigated it on the menu I almost fell over when I saw it was around $40.
re: AmblerGirl
I do like Deterra. If you are looking for lower cost fare there, I highly recommend their pizza. A friend and I have made a habit of going for pizza and wine once a week after yoga. Our favorite is the arugala and fig pizza. Perfect combination of savory flavors, all on healthy crispy wheat crust. Give it a whirl!
Hi Beth - your dinner plans sound like a lot of fun. Congratulations on having a friend for a boss. That's quite an accomplishment nowadays. I have not personally been to Deterra, but a friend of mine was just there and said he had a great time - said his dessert was awesome. They have a really nice outdoor patio dining area that looks inviting. As far as the menu, I did look it over the last time I was in Ambler and most of the entrees were on the high side, but they also had a few less expensive offerings. I also thought of From the Boot, but that can get very crowded and noisy. If you decide to go with a BYOB, I would give my highest recommendation to Mina Cucina Rustica in Springhouse. Have been there several times and each time the food and service were outstanding. We took wine, champagne and limoncello for after dinner. Another choice would be The Stone Rose Restaurant in Conshy. We had dinner there last week and it was awesome. Try the Short Rib/Mac and Cheese appetizer and would also recommend the Scallops. Great service too. Count me in for a Chowdown if we find any others that are interested in meeting somewhere one evening or afternoon. Enjoy your get together
re: curly girl
Thanks CG - I will honestly say the secret to our success is that we enjoy a good bottle of wine (and save the really good stuff for each other!), make sure we have "friend" time outside of work - whether its a round of golf or a nice dinner, and realize we will only have work for 10 or more years but will be friends forever!
She loves Mina and frequents it often. I have not been yet and would love to try but probably will save that for another night.
I have not heard of The Stone Rose. I'll have to look them up.
Which leads me to think of another possiblility - Spring Mill Cafe.
re: Betharu
Stone Rose is on Fayette St (Butler Pike) in the center of Conshy. Spring Mill Cafe is on my restaurant "bucket list" but I have not been yet. I believe they are a BYOB but I could be wrong. They are just up the road from where I work in Conshohocken, which reminds me of a few other places that you may want to try - Pepperoncini Restaurant & Bar on Poplar St in Conshy. Excellent food and they have a nice wine selection. Right now they are offering $10 off bottles of wine on Thursdays. There's also The Fayette Grille (BYOB) with a prix fixe menu - Starter, Entree & Dessert for $34. Thankfully you have until November to make your choice.
Like some others, I thought of Bridgets. IMHO, they are a good choice for Tapas and wine (over the regular menu.) And they have valet parking which takes some of the hastle out of going to Ambler.
The addition I would make to your list is the often overlooked, Trinacria. This is very upscale and authentic Italian. Gnocci of the day, lots of fresh fish filleted at the table, excellent veal and eggplant dishes. If you are a wine lover, they have a serious wine list and the owner is knowledgable and attentive in making recommendations. The dessert cart is irresistable, as is their limoncello aperatif. Not a cheap venue, but highly worth it for a special occasion.
re: truffles2
I've never been to Trinacria but my friend is not a fan. I have suggested it several time for our Xmas dinner.
Keep the suggestions coming! These are great!
Well - the choice was made. We have reservations (she doesn't know yet) at
Brassiere 73 in Skippack - table by the fireplace!
Thanks for all the suggestions and I will report back!
By the way - The Stone Rose looked very cool and is definitely on my list to try!
I kinda like Bocelli, in Gwynned. BYOB, nice atmoshere, and willing to make a fuss if you tell them it's a special dinner.
re: PattiCakes
Patti - I love Bocelli's but it is a place we frequent quite often and I wanted somewhere different!
But I always recommend Bocelli's to people.
re: Betharu
Ooops. I missed your original mention of Bocelli's. For cozy ambiance, how about Joseph Ambler Inn?
re: truffles2
I had one meal there and it was overpriced and the service was dreadful, there was so much preferential treatment given to the regulars it made me so uncomfortable. I live less than 5 minutes from there and will never go back.
re: AmblerGirl
I have to agree with AmblerGirl. I've been to the bar at San Marco when there was just us and maybe two regulars. We were pretty much ignored while the regulars where fawned over. I'm also only about five minutes away, and I hesitate to ever go back.
re: Jdbc
Yes, overpriced it is but I had the mixed fortune of taking my dad there and evidently meeting up with the greenest of greenhorn bartenders. Being my birthday, I ordered a Glenfiddich on the rocks. What arrived was a hefty brandy snifter with crushed ice and NO LESS than six ounces of my favorite single malt. Yikes! I could neither finish it (sob) and still safely navigate dear dad home, nor did I have the nerve to ask for a doggie bag. When the bill came, dad offered his sub-vocalized expletives over $126 for two (in 1999) before we ventured forth. Never have I returned but at least have a tale to tell.
re: Chefpaulo
Getting off track but this often happens to me when ordering whiskey or scotch neat from people that aren't real bartenders. Most recently at the Kimmel Center before a show I ordered a Canadian Club neat (best they have), and got a 4-5 oz pour for $9 or whatever it was. Great deal!
At weddings, this happens all the time too. One I was at recently, I ordered something neat and the guy filled a highball glass to the top! Of course at an open bar this is just wasteful and undesirable, I'd rather have gone back after a normal drink and gotten something else.
re: mr.goodfood
*insider alert, my Pop is friends with Leo. I hesitate to ever say anything about San Marco because I don't want to appear to be a schill... but I've always thought that the family was quite gracious whever I've been there, even without my Dad. (oh and the food IMHO is fantastic, pricey, yes but still I think very good)
re: cgarner
Sounds like you're confirming the comments about the service differences between regulars and "others"!
re: bucksguy14
I know, and I really didn't mean to do that. I've gotten good service going there with a date as a "non-regular" too
Very much looking forward to dinner tonight. I requested a table by the fireplace - perfect night for it!!!
I'll report back tomorrow.

price !!! location - great spot of public transport
toilets wasnt clean one girl said internet is free another wanted to get paid for it. i mean wi-fi
The rooms were really comfortable and nice. It was very quiet all the time inside the hostel, which as you know is very important and kind of rare for a hostel. The prices are amazing. Location is very good. If you don't wanna pay for wi-fi, there is a guest computer.
There are no curtains or no doors at the showers! Also, if you need wi-fi, it is EUR 1.-/day and you can't buy as many days as you like. For example if you're staying 5 days, you have to buy for all 5 days, it's ridiculous.
The kindness of two guys of the reception was the only good thing
The room was completely dirty, I asked to change the sheets at least but one girl of the reception said "I haven't the keys of the warehouse", but than the day after another guy of the reception gave me the sheets. Basically it's not hostel but a student dormitory used also as hostel. The bathroom also are not good, for example there wasn't toilet...don't go there guys, it's better to spend some euro more and have a clean place!
Nothing. I checked out a day early
Wifi is not free Showers which are communal have no curtains and shower is not attached to wall Staff disinterested
the shopping mall is just across the street
The pictures on the internet are lying. Real rooms are not that clean and cozy. It's not a hostel, but a university accomodation and a poor university accomodation. When I entered into the room, I felt sorry for students living at such a horrible dormity. Don't go to this hostel!!!!!
Very cheap room, clean, fantastic staff.
Very basic equiped. OK for one night stay.
Public transport runs close by. I think a laundry company cleans the bed linen and it was crisp and clean. The bathrooms were clean also.
The kitchen looked like you would have to scrub it before cooking, and the rooms were a bit shabby. There is no encouraged common area for guests. Depending on who you get, the reception staff can be very friendly and offer a lot of information, or offer the bare minimum.
Very clean. Quiet enough to rest (at least in August). Wifi, opposite of a shopping mall including a super market and cafes. The neighbourhood is friendly. Public transit is nearby.
A bit complicated to reach when you arrive after 23pm on the airport, but you can still take the airport bus to Kispesta M and arrange a taxi from there (better than from the airport!).

This is Charlie who was killed at the mouth of a pitbull. This is dedicated to the remembrance of my beautiful Charlie.
Picture taken here at home with charlie acting silly lying on his back. Picture taken with my canon SD1100 S15 ! Charlie is a dog we found on a curb and could not find his owner. We had him for about three years. He was a dog that never new a stranger. He loved to play fetch and was most loved by all of us.. He was quite the pal to the other two dogs especially Poochie. Charlie passed away on August 8, 2009 at the mouth of the neighbors pit bull. He has been greatly missed and touched all of our lives in a way that no other dog ever has. He will always be my special angle>
Now this is a perfect little "ham" acotr. Keeping eye on audience!! Very cute Linda!
Thank you so much Judy, Hugs, Linda

Thank you very much we don't know we found him were thinking he might be in the papion family :-)
– Linda Miller Gesualdo
I have often wondered if the longhaired chihuahua is related to the Papion because they have alot of similarities. We had a friend who had both and she said that they were so much alike not only in their looks but their temperment, etc. Anyway, your little guy is cute! :)
Thank you for coming back and thank you for the correct spelling of the word, bless you my dear friend :-)

His school had asked the children to bring in a toy from home; an emergency measure in the event of a tantrum or crying fit. Fearing he might lose his favorite, Wendy Tsao decided to make Dani a new one. Using a drawing he often made as her guide, she improvised a plush toy snowman. Five years later, Wendy Tsao has her own thriving home-based craft business - Child's Own Studio - in which she transforms the imaginative drawings of children into plush and cloth dolls; each one handcrafted and one-of-a-kind. She receives requests from parents all over the world; there's 500 people on waiting list. Note: kudos to club member Sandy Kahn for submitting the piece.

Vocaloid Fic: Diamonds in the Rough Chapter 5 Trip to the Past
Allen didn't know where to look. He didn't even know where to start. His sister, his step-mother and a girl that may or may not have been entering his midnight dreams were all standing in the same room.
"What is she doing here?" Riley asked in a cold voice. Her eyes were on Annabelle.
"Hello, dear," Annabelle greeted, looking a little nervous, "How have you been?"
Riley's eyes flickered, her face tight. She turned sideways to look at the blonde girl at the counter who was still texting. Who looked up at Riley.
"What did I do?"
"You didn't say that this woman," Riley pointed at Annabelle, "was going to be here."
Counter-girl rolled her eyes, " 's not my problem. Get over yourself."
"Umm," Allen interrupted, "could someone please explain to me just what exactly is going on here?"
Everyone stared at him as if they'd forgotten he was even there. Counter girl shot a look at Riley as if saying to cool it. Riley folded her arms and sighed, obviou

Ms White was studying the worn photo. There was a distant smile on her face as she gazed upon Leon and Lola standing in front of their mural. She had seen this picture a thousand times but , in her head, it stayed as fresh as the day it was taken.
"Just you wait," said Ms White softly to herself, "These kids are going to make things change for the better."
" len"
"All .en"
"Nnngh?" Allen blearily opened one eye and saw Ms White standing in front of
Vocaloid Fic: Diamonds in the Rough Chapter 3Making a Splash
So, he found out what the wall was and a lot of other information that he hadn't planned on knowing. Allen wasn't sure where to go from there.
Maybe that's why he was back at the wall, staring at the grey shadow that covered the most beautiful thing Allen had seen in his life. Not just because of the colours and art, but the story and the people behind it. He couldn't get Leon and Lola Lloyd (or their stage names, 'Engloids') out of his head.
And then, of course, there was Ms White saying that he shared the same 'stuff' as two of the most important people in the town had . Just thinking about it gave him goose-bumps. Allen wasn't sure if he liked it or not. He hadn't done anything meaningful or special in his life. He didn't win things in school assemblies and he couldn't remember the last time someone had congratulated him for something he had done. He wasn't good at much and as a student his grades were average.
It's not like anything was wrong
Vocaloid Fic: Diamonds in the Rough Chapter 2 The Beginning
In Ms White's class the next day, Allen ignored what she had to say, as usual, making half-hearted scribbles on his sketch-pad so that he looked like he was attempting to work. His mind was elsewhere, wondering about what he saw yesterday and why it was so different from the rest of the school. It was just a school with squeaky floors and stuffy classrooms. What else did it have to offer?
Could he ask Ms White about the wall?
Asking a teacher about something that wasn't: "Can I have a pencil?" or "When's lunch?" was weird to think about. And it wasn't like he had many discussions with his dopey art teacher, let alone about mysterious walls. Would she know anything anyway? That wall paint looked dated and Ms White hadn't been at the school that long, had she? Allen tried to remember when exactly she'd arrived, but his brain didn't usually pick up the low-down on his teachers. Most of the time, he couldn't care less about them and the feeling seemed to b
Vocaloid Fic: Diamonds in the Rough Chapter 1 Double Trouble
"I'm home!" Allen called out at his front entrance, shutting the big door behind him. He threw his rucksack near the coat rail and listened for any response. The house stayed quiet, as he expected. Fiddling with his keys for a moment, he went up the long wooden staircase and along the hallway to his sister's open bedroom door. Peering through it, he saw the girl herself, lying back on her bed, staring intensely at her laptop computer.
"Hey," Allen said, half-expecting her not to answer.
"Hey," his sister replied dryly. She kept her eyes on the screen and did not look up at him.
"So, uh what're you doing there?"
She blinked, "Work."
"What kind of work ?"
The girl looked up and gave him a patronising stare, eyebrows raised.
Allen grimaced, uncomfortable under her irritated gaze. He was getting desperate. It had been ages since the two had spoken to each other properly. Despite being twins, he rarely saw his sister in or out of school. He felt like an o

Resurfaced Area
Area 31 (270 Biscayne Blvd. Way) is about to expand its outdoor, uh, area while the dining room is closed for renovations. The enlarged outdoor lounge will feature a new menu of small bites, summer grilled fare, seasonal stir-fry and 'curated cocktails.' All new menu items are priced under $16. Inside, a facelift will eventually unveil new floors, lighting, seating and artwork. Also back outside is Area 31's nightly Veuve on the Clock happy hour from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. with by the glass prices based on the hour ($5-$7). And, because this is Miami after all, the restaurant's resident DJ spins from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
Absolutely Free
Promotional booze parties are as ubiquitous as an open Bacardi bar at a Miami event, but from 9 p.m. to midnight on Thursday, May 16 at Soho Studios, 2136 NW 1st Ave., Absolut X is throwing a masquerade ball in collaboration with Miami artist Agustina Woodgate, British indie rock band Bloc Party and master mixologist John Lermayer.

Clam Baked
Just in time for the sweaty months of summer, The Forge has brought back its annual Friday Clambake, taking place weekly at 6 p.m. and featuring a $49 all-inclusive menu of foodstuffs and two for one draft beers all night long. While The Forge is a pretty chic place, we asked if Clam diggers and casual wear were allowed, to which executive chef Dewey Losasso replied, "There's a great dichotomy that exists now at The Forge on Fridays, with our Veuve Clicquot Happy Hour taking place on one side of the restaurant and our Clambake on the other. Friday is the perfect night to bring guests together for a social, casual and affordable summer night on the town. Feel free to bring your clam diggers!"

... so we spent that time chatting.
After settling in I decided to go to the Citadel area and visit the Plains of Abraham exhibition. This area was the scene for a battle in 1759 between the French and British who wanted to re-take Quebec again. The exhibition also explains the history of how Quebec has resisted change from the French way of doing things and this has lasted right up to present day. I was assuming everyone could ...

We made the decision to get up and go - 10 a.m. at The Citadel - The Changing of The Guard. Did I mention that our hotel is in Lower Old Town and The Citadel is at the far corner of Upper Old Town. I have retired the flip flops for these walks - but still - I did not think about working out for this trip - I kept reading about the good food. Not that you would work it off!

The next thing to do on this busy first day was discover how to get down to the Lower Town, and across to the waterfront. I wanted to turn up a bit earlier for the performance, as Balti had recommended, to be sure of getting a seat.

Her family should of cared for her, she is not anyone else's responsibility. Apparently it had been going on for awhile, yet the family didn't notice that their child was acting differently? I know bullying affects people differently, but they would of noticed one difference maybe in her mood/actions/emotions? The family did nothing to help, and to be honest there is a picture of her funeral and hey are all laughing which i find just weird as they were like 'Why would anyone do this to our child?' in interviews. I can appreciate that you care for a life,even if you don't know them, it is rare nowadays, but cyber-bullying has gone on for awhile and yet people still think it will just blow over. In my head that's just stupid. Again, I can understand, but I have a mean sense of humour, not everyone's taste but still. I apologise that it offended you, but that's how life goes.

Molokai's hotel offerings – like those of Lanai – are limited in number. The good news: the hotels that are available will please even discerning travelers, though bargain pricing will be difficult to secure. It will pay to do your research homework ahead of time.
Your most attractive rate will probably run about $121/night – again, check with the hotels first to identify the best rates by locale.

Everybody acknowledges that IT has to plays a key role in any new service or product design. Therefore, IT needs to align with business and be flexible to changing business needs. It is a question of how to be agile rather than should we be agile. Then, why is there such a gulf between the people who evangelize agile processes and those who look at them with great suspicion?
Any application is built to satisfy a business goal. The process has two major steps where the step one is to define the application behavior which will help in meeting the business goal and the step two is to translate the application behavior to a working application. The definition of the application behavior is the requirement specification and it is the link between business and IT.
In the waterfall methodology, development starts after the requirement is frozen. It is assumed that if business users can unambiguously and comprehensively specify the application behavior, IT can build the application satisfying the stated behavior. All the management practices based on waterfall methodology is build around this assumption. However, in most real life project we find that one of the following things have happen.
- The stated behavior as understood by the business is different from the understanding of IT
- The stated behavior is a sub-optimal solution for the given business goal
- The business goal has changed
As a result the final application does not meet the business goal. Then it becomes a blame game between business and IT, where business claims that "this is not what I wanted" and IT claims that "I have delivered as per your signed-off requirement". Since there is a gap between desired application and what is stated in the requirement, it is concluded that the root cause of the failure is improper requirement definition. In the next project more rigorous process is applied to make the requirement definition more comprehensive and as early in the lifecycle as possible. In spite of all these rigor, one of the most frequently cited reason for project failure is improper requirement management.
In current business context, is it possible to freeze requirement?
If we go back in time, most IT applications were written to automate internal processes. The emphasis was on adopting industry best practices. Vast majority of the user were internal to the organization and they had to adopt to the application interface rather than the application interface being tailored for the user needs. Times have changed and many of the IT applications are an integral part of the product or service offering. Significant part of the users are external to the organization. The focus has shifted from following the best practices to having innovative offering. The new motto is usability and user centric design. Though there are guidelines and principle available on how to design such application, in practice it involves many iterations where many idea needs to be tried before a workable solution is arrived at. Sometimes, applications may have to be modified very late in the development cycle. In such cases, though the requirement is driven by a business goal, business users are not always sure about how the system should behave. It is necessary to try out the application before taking decision on its suitability. To this we can add the changing business goal arising out of change in the environment.
If all these points are added up, it becomes clear that requirements will change.
This has led to the realization that we need agile processes which works when requirements are constantly changing rather than spending time and energy on freezing requirement. As a result agile processes were born. The key principle behind any agile processes is to have a mechanism where the users can try out the application as it is being built and give feedback so that:
- Gap in understanding is reduced
- Sub-optimal solution can be improved
- Application can be realigned to any change in business goal
It is easier to adopt agile methodology in letter than in spirit. An iterative development process becomes ineffective, unless user feedback is used to change and fine tune the application behavior. This may involve introduction of new features, discarding features and reprioritization of features. It is not always easy to reorient an organization entrenched in waterfall development. Not only it is necessity to change mind-set of the people involved, it is also imperative to modify some the key management practices.
Funding: How Is the Project Sanctioned?
Normal process of budgeting involves calculating return on investment, which in turn, requires both investment and the return on it to be quantified. Even when the requirement is clearly defined, arriving at an accurate effort estimate is an error prone exercise. When requirement is expected to change during the life of the project, it becomes almost impossible to have an accurate estimate up front. This becomes a hazardous exercise and in practice the estimate gets tuned to make the ROI look good. Once sanctioned, the budget becomes frozen and it acts as a great disincentive to allow flexibility in changing requirement mid way. The way out of this situation is to have a method of incremental funding of project. Initially funds can be made available for first few iterations and this sanction can be based on a reasonable accurate estimation. The scope of the project and the fund required can get progressively fine tuned. With incremental funding, it also becomes easier to detect unviable project much earlier in the lifecycle.
Interaction: Do Stakeholders Trust Each Other?
Change in requirement involves rework and it implies discarding work already done. IT has to trust that a specific change suggested by business is needed and could not be specified earlier. Similarly, a feature may look simple from outside but may involve considerable amount of programming effort. Business has to trust the effort estimate made IT. Both IT and business has to believe that understanding is progressive and any gap in understanding is neither deliberate nor because of incompetence or carelessness of the other party. It can be achieved by having transparency from both side. IT needs to establish a method of estimation and make it transparent. Similarly, business needs to share the business plan and explain the need for any change. Any change will involve unplanned effort, more effort than what is feasible within a given time frame. Feature will have to be re-prioritized and and the revised plan should have joint ownership.
Defect: What Is a Defect?
Standard method of measuring defect is to:
- Define and freeze the requirement
- Derive test cases from the requirement
- Use the test cases to test the software
- Measure the number of test cases that has failed
Zero defect software means all the identified test cases are passed. This does not in any way indicate that the software meet the business needs. Since, test cases can only be identified for the explicitly documented requirement, we need to move beyond that and reorient how defect is defined. Therefore, regardless of presence of any explicit test case, a defect is when the application ...
- ... crashes
- ... behaves in an illogical manner
- ... does not behave in the manner expected by the user
The responsibility of identifying and eliminating first and second category of defect is with developers. The third category can not be done by the developers alone and needs an active involvement of the user.
Success: How Is It Measured?
Traditionally, the goal of successful project management has been to the deliver the application on time, within budget and without defect. All project managers are brought up on the belief that the key to achieve this is to freeze requirement and minimize rework. However, when the planned application is a part of a major product or service release, the cost of failed application can be many time to cost of the application. Therefore it is necessary to shift the paradigm and measure success in terms of satisfying business needs. It can only be done by an agile methodology which interactively refines requirement by allowing the user to work with and feel the application on a regular basis. When we look at some of the most successful software company we find that it is better to deliver the right application even though it may be late, over budget or have some bugs than to deliver the wrong application within budget, on time and without defect. The likes of Microsoft, Apple and even Google has slipped on their promised delivery and the delivered software are also not free form problem. That has not stopped them from becoming the more successful than anybody else in what they choose to do.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

I have a listview that is populated from a class object called Props. In the listview I have a field for title and a field for time worked (plus other irrelevant fields). The way I populate the listview is I clear it out and re-add each item from the class object (Props) using foreach. I have a List<> variable that I use as an array of the Props class. I need to update the time worked field for the currently worked object which is always the first object in the listview. I also have a label that I use as an overlay for the time worked. This label is overlayed on the working item (the first item in the listview). It is overlayed on the time worked column. This works perfectly fine except when I resize the column (the first column called title) the label stays in place. I need it to move the label left or right based on the with of the title column.
I know this is unorthodox, but it is the only way I could get the working item to display an updated time worked. Plus, I know this question may be a little confusing, but this is the best way I could explain it.
Thanks, craig

Burkott to leave Fire Department next year
July 18, 2014
By G. Michael Dobbs
Burkott and Mayor Richard Kos met with the press on July 14 to make the announcement.
"I've enjoyed my career tremendously, "Burkott said. "It's the best job in the world. I look forward to the next chapter of my life, whatever that may be."
Because Civil Service covers the position, Kos explained that at least three candidates must take the test. He said there are five deputy chiefs and if an insufficient number is signed up for the test, then it will be opened up to the captains in the department.
An assessment program will then follow the test. Kos will have the final say on the selection of the new chief. He noted that 12 years ago he had selected Burkott during his first administration.
Kos said he had "mixed emotions" about Burkott's decision.
Burkott said his retirement date isn't "written in stone" and he will stay until a new chief is on board.
He said that he has been thinking about retirement since January and had spoken with his family about his decision.
"I'm sad that I'm leaving, but it seems like the right thing to do right now," Burkott added.
When asked what his most significant accomplishment was as chief, Burkott hesitated and said that would be for others to decide. Later he did admit that increasing ambulance service to the city was something of which he was proud.
The Chicopee Fire Department is the second largest in western Massachusetts with 143 personnel.

Every year since 1922, in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, we observe National Fire Prevention Week on the Sunday-through-Saturday period in which October 9th falls. This week-long observance reminds the public about the importance of fire prevention, and is the longest running public health and safety observance on record. Last year in Massachusetts, there were more than 31,000 reported fires and a resulting 39 deaths, according to data from the Massachusetts Fire Incident Reporting System (MFIRS). These statistics emphasize the need to practice fire safety tips to prevent harmful and sometimes deadly blazes.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, two out of every five home fires start in the kitchen. As a result, the theme of this year's Fire Prevention Week is "Prevent Kitchen Fires." There are several factors that can contribute to kitchen fires, including unattended cooking, clothing, food or other cooking materials igniting. It's important to be careful in the kitchen and to follow some cooking safety tips to reduce the risk of a fire starting in your kitchen.
- Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, or broiling food, and turn off the stove if you leave the kitchen even for a short period of time.
- Use a timer to remind you that you are cooking and regularly check on food that is simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling.
- Keep anything that can catch fire, including oven mitts, towels, food packaging, wooden utensils, and loose clothing away from the stovetop.
While kitchen fires tend to be the largest source of home fires, there are a number of other hazards that you and your family should be aware of and take precautions against.
- Use caution when burning candles in the home and never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Be sure outlets, cords, and electrical devices are properly used, stored, and replaced if loose or damaged to prevent electrical fires.
- Space heaters and dryers produce a lot of heat and can ignite items in the surrounding area (or inside the machine, in the case of a dryer). These appliances should be operated in clean areas and never left running when no one is home.
- If your home has a fireplace, chimney, or woodstove, be sure it is inspected before use, and properly used and maintained.
Installing smoke alarms in the home can double your chances of survival if a fire occurs. Be sure to check the batteries and test the alarms regularly. There are smoke alarm alert devices available for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. As an additional safety step, you may consider installing home fire sprinklers to help quickly combat a fire if one does occur. Finally, make a home escape plan for your family and practice fire drills during both the day and night to make sure that everyone knows how to get out in an emergency.
The Student Awareness of Fire Education (S.A.F.E.) Program is a state initiative of the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services to educate the public on fire hazards and key safety behaviors by providing resources to local fire departments to conduct fire and life safety education programs in grades K-12. The average annual number of fire-related deaths of children under age 18 has fallen by 70% since the start of the S.A.F.E. Program in 1995.
It's important to be aware of fire hazards and know how to reduce the risk of a home fire. Installing functioning smoke alarms, and knowing what to do and how to escape if a fire breaks out in your home is essential to ensuring the safety of you and your family.

Other comments you see on here regarding the interview process are accurate, so I won't go too much into further detail.
They'll pay you an initial salary, but your success is up to you. You have to be a hunter. You find the clients, then you make the money. To get the job, you have to do your own research and prove to them that you have a reasonably good plan to get clients. That's it.
There's a huge failure rate, around 90%, because most people who apply are really looking for a "regular" job. They want specific duties, with a predictable salary, vacation time, personal time off, etc. If this is what you want, then this job is not for you.
If you're like me: Very passionate about the financial market, entrepreneurial, self-motivated, seeking opportunity to make a lot of money rather than "job security," want to get paid by your performance rather than wait for someone to retire in order to get a promotion, and want the backing of a huge brand, then this job is for you.
I was thrilled to discover this position because I've considered forking over $100ks to buy a franchise. Here, they pay me (first year)! How awesome is that. Basically, this is the way to think of this position.
Good luck!Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsNone. Took first offer. Doesn't matter anyways since it slowly phases out.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- The interview questions don't really matter. How do you plan on being successful? Do you have an existing network who can refer you business? Do you have wealthy friends and family? Do you know of an untapped market who need financial advice? Do the research, create a plan, prove to them you have a good chance of being successful, and you'll get the job. Answer Question

Liam O'Brien's loan spell with Hastings has been cut short due to injury.
The Barnet keeper, who enjoyed a successful spell with the Non-League outfit, will be out for up to two-months due to a groin injury sustained against Wealdstone when taking a "routine" goal kick!
O'Brien marked his debut for Hastings with a penalty save against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, also making another penalty save in the League, meaning he saved two out of three spot kicks during his time away from Underhill.
Chances are O'Brien will go out on loan again when he is fit, which can only be a good thing for Barnet.
