Game Results
N.A. Juniors Game Night: 12/20Submitted by chad on December 21, 2008 - 10:13
Team Canada Notes:
Canada called in Evander Kane, a BP favorite and teammate of Lightning prospect James Wright in Vancouver, to presumably take the spot of the injured Dana Tyrell. Tyrell suffered a "significant" knee injury Friday night in an exhibition game vs. Sweden and his tournament officially over.
Also, Canada coach Pat Quinn said the goaltenders' peformance Friday night did not sway him one way or another on a starter. Dustin Tokarski (0 GAA Friday) and Chet Pickard (2 GAA Friday) will go into today's game neck and neck.
Prince George Spruce Kings 1 @ Victoria Grizzlies 2
W Justin Courtnall, VIC: 0-1-1, 0 PIM
Season totals: 38 GP, 12-31-43, 62 PIM
Courtnall goes into the Christmas break with a clear future (Boston University in the fall) and the Grizzlies scoring lead. He is 13th in league scoring. Powell's Darcy Oakes, 31-38-69 in 39 games, is 19 points ahead of anyone else in the league. The 6-0, 175-pound Oakes is a 20 year old winger from Ontario.
Des Moines @ Fargo Force - POSTPONED
Inclement weather in the upper-midwest forced the postponement of all USHL games.
The QMJHL, OHL, WHL are all off until December 27 for Christmas.
AHL Game Night 12/20: Admirals at PhantomsSubmitted by pete on December 20, 2008 - 21:54
Karri getting it cooking?
Karri Ramo allowed 2 goals on 32 shots before stopping all 4 shooters he faced in the penalty shot session for the shootout win.
First Period
NOR Smolenak, (12) (Segal, Jones), 14:35 (PP)
Second Period
PHI Ross, (13) (Guenin, Giroux), 12:48
NOR Ward, (2) (Downie, Jones), 17:26 (PP)
Third Period
PHI Giroux, (17) (Ross), 14:17
NOR- Bochenski, Gratton
Brandon Bochenski and Ramo were the game's first and third stars.
Good road win, although the team went into a bit of a shell in the third period getting outshot 15-5. Ramo finally let in the 13th or 14th one he faced in the period, and they went to overtime. Still, the Ads played a great 40 minutes, got a couple of power play goals, and then exorcized some demons in the shootout. Defense in playing better. Goaltending is playing better. And, you've got a dangerous group of forwards that is basically three lines deep. They're still 4 games under .500, and about 7 points behind Binghamton and Wilkes/Barre with both teams holding games in hand on Norfolk, but the Admirals have a slew of home games coming up in January. So, for Norfolk, I think the push is to get back to .500 and by then, hopefully, be within striking distance of 4th place and have something to play for down the stretch.

NHL Game Night 12/20: Lightning at ThrashersSubmitted by pete on December 20, 2008 - 21:40
Man, it's humbling to lose to a terrible team like the Thrashers.
Mike Smith allowed 4 goals on 30 shots for the loss.
First Period
00:18 ATL Kozlov (15), (unassisted)
03:54 TB St. Louis (11), (Malone, Recchi)(PP)
08:15 TB Hall (3), (Jokinen, Craig)
15:13 ATL Perrin (3), (Valabik, Williams)
18:23 ATLP White (10), (Little, Kovalchuk)(PP)
Second Period
Third Period
04:06 ATL Crabb (2), (Boulton, Slater)
17:28 TB St. Louis (12), (Lecavalier, Stamkos)(PP)
This was the first game where Szczechura was kind of a non-factor. He had a real opportunity to send Ryan Craig in on a breakaway when a Thrashers defenseman overplayed him on a 2-on-1. Other than that? Very little.
Paul Szczechura had 1 shot and 2 hits in 11:54.
Steven Stamkos had an assist and 1 hit and was 67% on draws in 13:22.

NA Juniors Game Night: 12/19Submitted by chad on December 20, 2008 - 10:53
World Junior Championships (exhibition)
Canada 4 vs. Sweden 2
W Dana Tyrell, CAN: 0-0-0
G Dustin Tokarski, CAN: Win, 8 saves on 8 shots in half a game
I'll let the Canadian Press intro this:
> The biggest statement in the battle between John Tavares and Victor Hedman was made by Dana Tyrell.
While the rock-solid forward won't supplant either of those players as the top pick in next year's draft - Tyrell signed a three-year contract with Tampa Bay last week - he made the biggest impact on Friday night.
AHL Game Night 12/19: River Rats at AdmiralsSubmitted by pete on December 19, 2008 - 21:54
Fun game to watch if you're an Ads fan.
Mike McKenna stopped all 24 shots he faced for the shutout victory.
First Period
Second Period
NOR Smolenak, (10) (Konopka, Jones), 13:50 (PP)
NOR Wishart, (1) , 16:54
Third Period
NOR Smolenak, (11) (Gratton, Lawrence), 2:44
NOR Downie, (3) , 3:26
NOR Mihalik, (2) (Downie, Gratton), 8:56 (PP)
McKenna, Radek Smolenak, and Ty Wishart were the game's three stars.
I thought the Admirals best two players were probably Steve Downie and Chris Gratton in the game. Gratton looks like a man among boys at this level. Smolenak was in the right place at the right time for a power play goal after a puck bounced off an Albany defender and then on a nice setup by Gratton with Smolenak crossing the top of the crease. I didn't see Gratton out the second half of the third period. Hopefully that was to let the old man kick back and relax as opposed to an injury.
Downie's goal came after he pickpocketed a River Rats defender and then blistered a shot off the wing high glove side. If I have a criticism of Downie's game, it's that he doesn't shoot enough. That said, he's too good for the AHL level. He needs to be in the NHL soon.
Wishart got his first pro goal on a little harmless looking snap shot that skimmed off an Albany defender on the way in and found the back of the net. Not the most artistic goal, but he'll take it. Vladimir Mihalik found a rebound in the high slot and pounded a slap shot five hole on Justin Peters for his tally. Soft goal by Peters, in my opinion. In both defensemen's cases, beggars can't be choosers and I'm sure they're glad just to light the lamp.
Kevin Quick is starting to get back on schedule developmentally. He still makes mistakes (darned near cost McKenna his shutout on one shift in the third) but he's starting to look like a real AHLer, and when he gets it cranked up on the rush you can squint and see a bit of the puck carrying d-man the Lightning organization always thought he could become.
Jay Rosehill is becoming a Grade A badass. I remember when he was a lost little lamb playing for Johnstown in the Coast. He was a manimal dropping the gloves tonight. He beat Mike Angelidis like Angelidis owed him money tonight.
Don't read too much into this game, mind you. Albany is a thin team that was playing without one of their best players and all of a sudden the Admirals are laiden with NHLers and prospects who were recently up and proved their close to being NHLers. This was not a fair fight. Tomorrow night against Philly will be a truer test on just how far this configuration of the Ads can go. Still too many neutral zone turnovers by the forwards and the young d wasn't really tested under fire much considering how non-existent Albany's forecheck was tonight.

Happy Eid ul Fitr (2012)
Happy Ramadan! 2012
Ramadan 2012
After consulting with the Amir of the Association of British Muslims, Sheikh Daoud Rosser-Owen and the most reliable astronomical data we have available to us, we conclude: The very earliest possibility to see the new moon in the extreme South West of the United Kingdom, will be on Friday evening (20.07.2012). Which means the first day of Ramadan will be on Saturday, should this indeed be the case.
Paul Salahuddin Armstrong
Co-Director, The Association of British Muslims.
"Qualified Muslim astronomers and reliable visibility forecasts indicate that on Thursday evening a sighting of the new crescent moon will be extremely improbable in all global regions, with the exception of South America and the South Pacific where sightings are possible but fairly unlikely."

Winnebago County Animals Services in Rockford is one of 108 animal shelters vying for slots in the 2012 ASPCA Rachel Ray $100K Challenge.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) announced 108 shelters spanning the nation have been selected to compete in the "Qualifying Heat" of the competition. The contenders now must get their supporters to vote online from April 5-16, and the top 50 shelters will then go on to compete for more than $500,000 in prize grants, including a grand prize of $100,000.
Bert Troughton, vice president of community outreach for the ASPCA, said: "When we first introduced the Qualifying Heat vote into the $100K Challenge last year, we were amazed by how much energy and passion it injected into the contest. More than 500,000 votes were cast by the public in just 12 days, which showed local shelters that their supporters really care about the animals in their community and wanted to help them save more lives. We've now come to regard the vote as a crucial step in the contest, helping the contestants attract and lock in the foundation of support they'll need to carry them through the challenging contest period ahead."
Fans and supporters can vote for their favorite shelter daily in the Qualifying Heat vote, from 11 a.m., Thursday, April 5 until 11 p.m., Monday, April 16. The top five vote-getting shelters in each division will automatically earn spots making up 25 of the 50 contestants; the remaining shelters with the most votes will earn the other 25 slots. To vote, visit www.votetosavelives.org.
Once the 50 competing shelters are selected, they will set about to save at least 300 more cats and dogs during the months of August, September and October 2012 than they did during the same period last year.
The ASPCA and Rachael Ray will award a $100,000 grand prize to the shelter contestant that achieves the greatest increase in lives saved during this three-month period.
A second-place prize of $25,000 will be awarded to the shelter with the second-greatest increase in lives saved, and the contestant that does the best job of engaging its community members in helping to save more animals will win $25,000. Those organizations that do the best in their divisions will be eligible for between $5,000 and $40,000 in additional grants.
The ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge is a groundbreaking contest that challenges animal shelters across the country to come up with innovative ways to engage their communities and get more homeless cats and dogs into loving homes.

McCaw's surgery 'a success'
ESPNscrum Staff
November 24, 2011
McCaw created history when he led his side to 2011 World Cup glory © Getty Images
New Zealand skipper Richie McCaw's surgery on his injured foot has been confirmed as a success.
McCaw played through the pain barrier in the latter stages of the tournament with the foot injury but now looks set to miss the start of the 2012 Super Rugby season as a result. The 30-year-old underwent surgery on Thursday to remove a screw that had been inserted into his right foot prior to the 2011 Super Rugby campaign.
The All Blacks skipper now faces 10-12 weeks on the sidelines before he can start running again and faces a race against time to be fit in time for the Crusaders opening match away at the Blues on February 24.
All Blacks doctor Deb Robinson said: "Richie's surgery went very well - the screw was removed and he also received a bone graft. In addition he had an X-ray prior to surgery which showed the bone had started to heal to some extent in the four weeks since the end of the World Cup, which is good news."

a bit off topic: kale recipes
I am growing kale for the first time, and would love tried and true recipes if anyone has suggestions to share. I have memories of Portuguese kale soup, but don't have a recipe for that. I know I can do a web search, but I'd rather have ones someone recommends.
Hi Babs, We use a lot of Kale at our house. I became interested in finding ways to add more raw vegetables to our diet and especially dark leafy greens. Kale, to me, is the mildest and most likable of all the dark leafy greens. We use the food processor and make 'green smoothies'. Our current favorite recipe is Kale, Celery, Avocado and Blueberries. The blueberries are frozen and go in last, so it makes it nice and cold and I barely pulse it after I put in a lot of blueberries, so they don't get chopped much at all.
Another smoothie recipe, we liked...Kale, Celery, Frozen Banana, Kiwi.
And I've persuaded DH to join me, but he's still not loving it. I actually do enjoy it. The green smoothie recipe with the banana, kiwi, he does like. I switched to the avocado/blueberry recipe trying to reduce carbs.
I also add Kale to a Minestrone Soup. We do have a Sausage & Spinach Soup recipe that I often substitute kale for the spinach, that is mildly spicy. I can find the recipe if you are interested.
Then there is the cocoa recipe that we add chopped up kale to....just kidding. (g)
I could use some new recipes myself, we're kind of in a rut. :-)
This post was edited by prairiemoon2 on Fri, Oct 25, 13 at 15:37
I make an Italian kale soup every week or so, all winter long, that everyone in my family loves. Not sure I can actually supply a recipe,but I'll do my best to describe it - it's more or less a Ribollita.
The recipe varies every week, but it always starts with slowly sauteing finely chopped onion, carrot, celery (and sometimes a little diced pancetta or ham) in a little olive oil, with garlic. After those have started to caramelize a bit, add water (or chicken stock), canned tomatoes, kale (chopped stems go in first), sometimes some chopped savoy cabbage or bok choi, lots of parsley (and/or whatever other fresh herbs are at hand). I often add farro (or wheat berries) and sometimes white beans. If you have a heel of parmesan that's too hard to use, that should go in with the first liquid, especially good if you're using water instead of stock. You can also add small pasta instead of the wheat, although I love the added flavor of farro.
The timing varies depending on the type of wheat, the pre-treatment of the beans (sometimes they're from a can, sometimes quick soaked, and sometimes there are none), the size of the other vegetables, and how hungry we are.
There are a lot of these recipes on line; some neglect to tell you to saute the carrots and celery, but this is a traditional Italian method (soffritto) that really helps the flavor. I started with a basic recipe from Ina Garten, who insists on the slow saute, but I've added some of the ingredients over the last couple of years.
We live on this soup in the winter - I'm not a big sausage fan and my DH can't eat potatoes, so Portuguese Kale soup isn't an option. Otherwise, that's an awesome dish, too.
Yum . . .
I don't require strict recipes - your description is just fine, DTD. I do wonder about how much kale is added per serving, just in the ballpark (1/4 cup or 1 cup?)
The smoothies sound like they have potential as well, PM2. I think they would make good lunch material, much healthier than the too-sweet yogurt that I am currently eating. If it's not too much trouble to list the ingredients of the sausage-spinach/kale soup, that sounds good as well.
Babs, your comment on the 'photo' thread, about no holes in my Kale....I had other Kale starts in 2 different beds that were eaten down to stems. Not sure why the Kale in the photo was unmolested.
As for the Smoothies, we usually have it for breakfast a few days a week, especially on busy days and a substitute for lunch is a great idea too.
Anyway...The Sausage Soup recipe, is a take on the soup you can order at Bertucci's. DH really liked their soup so we tried to find a recipe and found one that is a healthy version of it.
Bertucci's-style Sausage Soup
1 cup raw Brown Rice
3 links Italian turkey sausage, sweet or hot, casings removed
1 large onion, diced
8 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups low-sodium, fat free chicken broth
14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes, no salt added
6 oz. baby spinach leaves, washed, dried and torn or chopped coarsely (substitute Kale)
1 Tb. minced fresh basil leaves
1 tsp. fresh coarsely-ground black pepper (or to taste)
8 Tb. freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
Prepare the brown rice according to package directions but omit the butter, use extra water and cook it for only 25 minutes on the stovetop or only 17 minutes in the microwave. Not all of the water will have been absorbed, so drain the rice.
When the rice is about halfway through its cooking time, heat a stock pot with as small an amt of olive oil as you can get away with. Crumble the turkey sausage meat into the preheated pot, add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the turkey loses its pink color.
Add the minced garlic. Continue to cook and stir for another 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, stir in the partially cooked rice and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 5-8 minutes or until the rice is cooked to your desired doneness.
Add the spinach (or Kale), basil, and freshly-ground black pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes longer, just until the spinach starts to wilt. (You want the spinach to be wilted, not cooked.) (We cook the Kale to soft and tender)
Serve with 1 Tbsp. of freshly-grated Parmesan cheese per serving.
Makes 8 servings

DtD, that recipe sounds very good! ThatâÂÂs the first time IâÂÂve heard of a recipe using wheat berries. I buy wheat berries to make âÂÂhot socksâ all the time, but havenâÂÂt tried them in cooking. IâÂÂll have to try that with my Minestrone Soup that is a lot like yours with a few changes.
WeâÂÂve never tried adding ham, or sautéing the carrots with the onions and garlic, weâÂÂll have to try that. We add celery and at the end we add string beans and peas, Kale, Parsley, sometimes a lot of peppers. We use kidney beans instead of white beans. No potatoes, pasta or rice or corn and easy on the carrots, and increase the amount of beans and veggies. The goal being a soup that has no high carb ingredients. We donâÂÂt normally use cabbage or bok choi either. WeâÂÂll have to try your version, it sounds good.
Here's Ina Garten's recipe, in case anyone wants it.
It's great just as written here and in her cookbook. I vary it because a) sometimes I have other ingredients I'd like to use, b) we eat it so often I don't want to get bored with it and c) I was never very good at coloring inside the lines (or strictly following recipes).

What kind of kale did you grow? I started with Lacinato and added Russion Red kale but my husband doesn't care for it. A friend gave me this recipe but I haven't tried it yet:
1 LB Kale
1 LB Potatoes (I used red skinned)
1 LB Italian Turkey Sausage Links (HOT)
1 Cup Chopped Onions
1 Cup Sliced Carrots
2 Tsp Chopped Garlic
2 Tbl Olive Oil
2 Tbl Butter
2 Quarts of Chicken Stock
1 Large Can Diced Tomatoes
1 ý Cups cooked Kidney Beans
Strip Kale leaves and slice diagonally. Wash and Peel potatoes and keep in cold water. Cook sausage.
In large Dutch Oven, sauté onions, carrots and garlic in the Olive Oil and Butter until soft. Add potatoes and chicken stock. Boil and then simmer partially covered in Chicken Broth for 15 ��" 20 minutes. Mash potatoes against side of pot. Stir in tomatoes and kidney beans. Add Sausage and Kale and cook 5 ��" 10 minutes.
I haven't found a favorite kale salad yet just that "massaged kale" seems to work best. The flavor of the oil gets into the leaves and all the flavors seemed to blend better.
I am trying to make better use of seasonal produce and getting more out of my garden as I can.
Hmm, that DOES look good, defrost!
And thanks for reminding me about 'massaged' kale - I saw that somewhere, but haven't tried it yet. Maybe I'll adapt your recipe, with turnips in place of potatoes, so DH can share it, just for a change of pace. I wish I knew how to cook turnips so they don't get too bitter - their flavor varies so much, but I'm not sure how to make them mild tasting. If anyone has some insight about that, can you please clue me in?
digging, I think the turnip variety has a lot to do with the flavor. Sometimes I have been able to find a "white turnip" at Shaw's supermarkets. I think this is sweeter. In my garden I have grown Gilfeather turnips which were developed in VT. I have only been able to find seed at Fedco. It's a white turnip/rutabaga.
But I also wonder if turnips sweeten with cold weather so buying from a local farmer might be better esp if you could ask when the turnips were harvested.
Defrost, did you not like the Lacinato kale? I just found some in the market, and it looked awfully good - really different from the usual type. I picked up one bunch, and it will go into this week's soup, as soon as the stock is ready. Just wondered if it was really different, or if that was the Russian Red that your DH didn't enjoy.
I see lots of local white turnips in my market now - I guess I'll try a small batch and see if they're bitter. When they're bad, they're REALLY bad - so astringent you can hardly eat them, and all the caramelizing in the world doesn't seem to help.
Digging, my husband unfortunately is anti-everything in the cabbage, broccoli, kale families. I have grown both lacinato and Russian Red. I like both but I think lacinato's rugged leaves are better for fresh salads.
I think the Gilfeather turnips are actually rutabagas but I'm not sure of the difference between turnips and rutabagas. There is a small salad turnip I've heard is popular hakurei? I think it might actually be rutabagas you don't like, the kind that are usually served with boiled dinners.

Why are there no aluminum conicals? I feel like you would be able to make an aluminum one cheaper than SS, and so long as you use the right sanitizer you wouldn't damage it.
So why not? If people boil in then, heat can't be an issue. Can they leech any sort of off flavors just by the beer sitting in it?
I'm sure there is a one-line easy answer to this, but I just don't know it.
...unless, of course, I have just had the next great idea!
I use aluminum for boiling because I know its safe as long as it has a protective oxide layer. I created my layer by boiling water in it. You would need a similar layer to develop before you would want to ferment in aluminum, otherwise you might get flavors from your metal.
You would also have to avoid certain cleaners to take care of your layer
Wort is acidic and fermented beer moreso. If left in extended contact with fermenting beer, even an passivated aluminum fermentor would be corroded by the aluminum and you'd you get aluminum in your beer to boot.
I can't be arsed to keep up this list of what's in the fermenters, but hey, check out the cool brewery I own!

I have a small form (5 fields) in a grouped UITableView. Each UITextField is inside of a UITableView cell. When clicking in a textField, it brings up the keyboard, which then allows you to scroll some of the cells out of view, when you pull them back down, their content is erased.
Am I correct in assuming that they have been redrawn, so their content is gone? If so, what is the best way to prevent this? Since I only have 5 fields, do I have to redraw my cells when the are scrolled back into view?
I am reusing cells:

About the Book
In a small town in Canada, Clara Callan reluctantly takes leave of her sister, Nora, who is bound for New York. It's a time when the growing threat of fascism in Europe is a constant worry, and people escape from reality through radio and the movies. Meanwhile, the two sisters -- vastly different in personality, yet inextricably linked by a shared past -- try to find their places within the complex web of social expectations for young women in the 1930s.
While Nora embarks on a glamorous career as a radio-soap opera star, Clara, a strong and independent-minded woman, struggles to observe the traditional boundaries of a small and tight-knit community without relinquishing her dreams of love, freedom, and adventure. However, things aren't as simple as they appear -- Nora's letters eventually reveal life in the big city is less exotic than it seems, and the tranquil solitude of Clara's life is shattered by a series of unforeseeable events. These twists of fate require all of Clara's courage and strength, and finally put the seemingly unbreakable bond between the sisters to the test.

so it only really helps niche builds, and brings them closer to being as viable options as heal cruisers, dps escorts, and control sci ships.

Answer #1Bret Bodas January 30, 2011, 16:49Master
Hey Steve,
Sounds like two issues here.
#1, it won't shift into, or out of park? Never seen one not shift into park, so that's why I ask. Many of these have issues where you can't get them out of park.
The door issue may be from a disconnected handle or broken handle, will need to remove the handle and possibly the door panel to inspect top see what is happening. If this is one of the read doors, then make sure the child safety lock is not on.

Drop your bags and find yourself at the doorstep of global democracy in this handsomely decorated 1 BR sidewalk level apartment in an historic Capitol Hill townhome. Capitol Hill is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Washington, DC because it is an unparalleled location for experiencing the Nation's Capital; just 2 blocks from Union Station and 3 blocks from the Supreme Court! You'll have an easy walk to the great sights in DC: The National Mall, The Smithsonian museums, The U.S. Capitol Building and Library of Congress, Supreme Court, Folger Shakespeare Theater and the Botanical Conservatory.
Want to step out of the tourist mold? Rub shoulders with members of Congress and the Senate in one of "The Hill's" many fine restaurants and eateries within a 2 block radius; White Tiger, La Loma Restaurant, Café Berlin, Bistro Cacao, Sonoma and Toscanas to name a few.
With its close proximity to Union Station, the Capitol Court apartment is easily accessible from National Airport, Metro, or Amtrak. Walk (that's right, it is within walking distance) to the U.S. Capitol building, Senate and House buildings, and the National Mall (Botanical Garden, Smithsonian Museums). If you are driving to Washington, D.C., a parking space is available right at your front door (limit small to mid size sedan only, please note that parking is an extra fee).
This newly renovated apartment in a charming historic row house has all the modern amenities of your own home; cable, WiFi, flat panel TV, fully equipped kitchen with new appliances, washer/dryer, security system, and a private outside patio. The bedroom features a queen size bed with ample storage and closet space. The living room sofa folds out to a very comfortable full size sofa bed.

This is the heart and soul of Washington, DC. You're just a short 2 block walk to all of DC's major sites, including the U.S. Capitol (2 blocks!), Library of Congress, Supreme Court and the impressive National Mall. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within 2 blocks of the apartment; Neb's Coffee, Ebenezer's Coffee House, Bagels & Baguettes. Beautifully restored Union Station also has a large food court, several restaurants, shops, and Starbucks. Wine aficionado? Schneider's of Capitol Hill, one of DC's best wine stores, is also located one block from the apartment. Finish your meal with a leisurely stroll through the history-soaked neighborhoods that author and socialite M.E. Sherwood once described as capturing "A mingled simplicity and grandeur."
Leave your car behind! Union Station, a transportation hub for the mid-Atlantic region, is just 2 blocks away and houses not only our trains, AMTRAK, but also the Metro Red Line, the "Circulator" bus, MARC trains to Maryland, and buses to New York City (MegaBus, Vamoose, Bolt Bus).
If you are driving into the city, Capitol Court has a rare and coveted parking space right in front!

The property was lovely. The house had everything we needed. We had no issues accessing property. I failed to read instructions at one point and received a response right away. We stayed for a week and it was cozy and close to places I needed to be.
Great location - close to union station - everything was as promised - very nice experience - we will definitely stay here again
Apartment was amazing and just a few steps from Union Station.
Everything inside was clean and new and getting in touch with the host was easy.
Highly reccomend.
The reservation was canceled 66 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Great location! Friendly coffee shop and cozy Italian restaurant are just down the street. Union Station is a block away and the National Mall is only a few blocks further.
The place was very clean, nicely decorated, the bed was awesome and the host was super. We stayed 6 days so we saw most of DC but if we ever return we'll definitely stay here again.
The place is exactly how it looks in the pictures. It is clean and comfortable. My contact for this place, Rodney, was very responsive on text messages and would usually reply almost immediately. There was everything that I needed for my trip in the place. I was visiting friends in DC and Annapolis, so I rented a car and I was able to get a great parking spot right outside my front door. Ask if it is available. This apartment is about a 10 minute walk from Union Station where you can catch the public transit and there are plenty of places to eat and shop. The Capitol building is also about a 10 minute walk away. I would DEFINITELY stay here again.
Great place. Great location. We made a combo business/vacation trip to DC where I worked for 1 day and then we brought our 10-year old son to see the sites. This place is in a great location, close to Capital Hill sites and accessible to the Metro and Bikeshare.

A big part of my research agenda for this year is productization. Many app dev teams see productization as a way to innovate better, achieve more sustainable results at a lower cost, deal with some of the tough challenges downstream, and in general lead a happier and more productive life. The allure of productization varies across different types of organization, as do the approaches. Therefore, to do the product justice, we're going to look at five different settings in which app dev teams are striving to productize their work:

SAP BusinessObjects (BO) 4.0 suite is here. It's been in the ramp-up phase since last fall; according to our sources, SAP plans to announce its general availability sometime in May, possibly at Sapphire. It's about a year late (SAP first told Forrester that it planned to roll it out in the spring of 2010, so I wanted to include it in the latest edition of the Forrester Wave™ for enterprise BI platforms but couldn't), and the big question is: Was it worth the wait? In my humble opinion, yes, it was! Here are seven major reasons to upgrade or to consider SAP BI if you haven't done so before:

In the midst of all the buzz in the CRM space about "social" and "mobile" CRM spotlighted in my recent reports, I am observing another important trend. There is a convergence of customer relationship management (CRM) and business process management suite (BPMS) solutions to support better customer experiences and deeper customer engagement.
Our research shows that only 10% of companies deliver outstanding customer experiences. The laggards have a choice: They can either continue to whistle while passing the graveyard, or make a bold, sweeping stroke by focusing on deeper engagement with their customers. How? By taking a hard look at business processes that traverse organizational silos, bringing the back office closer to the front office while transforming strategic cross-functional processes.
Customer service managers in particular struggle to balance customer experience and cost: siloed communication channels, impersonal service, and an inability to enforce company processes or meet regulatory compliance negatively affect satisfaction and increase costs.
To resolve this dilemma, there is continued interest in traditional "record-centric" CRM solutions, but I also see more adoption of "process-centric" BPMS solutions. In fact, the characteristics of these two are converging in the latest releases from the respective vendors.

Traditional application servers such as WebSphere, WebLogic, and JBoss are dinosaurs tiptoeing through a meteor storm. Sure, IBM, Oracle, and Red Hat still have growing revenue in these brands, but the smart money should look for better ways to develop, deploy, and manage apps. The reason: cloud computing.
The availability of elastic cloud infrastructure means that you can conserve capital by avoiding huge hardware investments, deploy applications faster, and pay for only those infrastructure resources you need at a given time. Sound good? Yes. Of course there are myriad problems such as security and availability concerns (especially with the recent Amazon mishap) and others. The problem I want to discuss is that of application elasticity. Forrester defines application elasticity as:
The ability of an application to automatically adjust the infrastructure resources it uses to accommodate varied workloads and priorities while maintaining availability and performance.
Elastic Application Platforms Are Not Containers

There's a huge graveyard of failed customer service software implementations, and still others are on life support due to the basic fact that they are not usable. Think of the world we live in, with products and services from Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, and the like:

Cloud computing will bring demand for elastic application platforms.
Promises that cloud computing can save money and reduce time-to-market by automatically scaling applications (either up or down) oversimplify what it takes to develop application architectures to achieve these benefits of elastic scaling. Few of today's business applications are designed for elastic scaling, and most of those few involve complex coding unfamiliar to most enterprise developers. A new generation of application platforms for elastic applications is arriving to help remove this barrier to realizing cloud's benefits. Elastic application platforms (EAPs) will reduce the art of elastic architectures to the science of a platform.
EAPs provide tools, frameworks, and services that automate many of the more complex aspects of elasticity. These include all the runtime services needed to manage elastic applications, full instrumentation for monitoring workloads and maintaining agreed-upon service levels, cloud provisioning, and, as appropriate, metering and billing systems. EAPs will make it normal for enterprise developers to deliver elastic applications — something that is decidedly not the norm today.
Forrester defines an elastic application platform as:
An application platform that automates elasticity of application transactions, services, and data, delivering high availability and performance using elastic resources.
We see organizations moving toward EAPs by extending their current web architectures, following one or more of four paths:

A new business model is emerging, and it depends heavily on software development. Many companies are dropping many of the traditional barriers between product development and customers. Without investing in software development, these efforts, no matter how well-intentioned, will have a better chance of failing than succeeding.
The simplest term I can concoct for this business model is "the transparent company." There are other defining characteristics of this corporate strategy, such as confidence in the ability to execute, and a very different sort of relationship with customers. However, as companies have been decidedly opaque to their customers, any transparency is a striking detail in itself. Hence the term "transparent company."
Wave Hello To The Engineer Fixing Your Bug
Here's an example of what I mean. I don't have to be a customer of Atlassian to know what issues Atlassian's engineers will fix in the next release of their wiki product, Confluence. That information is publicly available at this link. Diving into an issue at random — I chose "Database deadlock during initialisation of plugins in sql server" because it sounded fairly dire — I can see which engineer is working on this issue, Don Willis. I can even see the daily activity stream for Don Willis as he works on this issue and other projects.

It wasn't that long ago that packaged apps ruled the application delivery landscape and custom development was decidedly the second choice. Today, the decision is not so cut and dried, as firms struggle to find the right balance between the quick time-to-market of packages and the competitive distinction custom development can create. In the midst of this shift, a new option — rent (SaaS) — is gaining traction. Most enterprises already support a mix of packaged and custom applications — but with fast adaptation, customer experience, and process integration the top priority for most enterprises, do firms need a different mix of custom, packaged, and SaaS apps to maximize customer value?
Next month at Forrester's IT Forum in Las Vegas, a panel of experts will debate the pros and cons of custom-developed applications and packaged applications in our Application Development & Delivery track. Attendees will have a chance to vote on the future of applications. But we decided the debate was too juicy to sit on it for another month. So, on April 25, from 2 to 3 p.m. ET, Forrester will host a Tweet Jam — using the hashtag #ITF11 — to answer the question:
"Which is better at delivering customer value: packaged or custom applications? Why?"
We asked our panelists to get the discussion started, and here is what they had to say:

I am not talking about The Donald here, thankfully. I am talking about how fervently impatient users are when it comes to website and mobile app response time. You can design a brilliant, luxurious, and intuitively interactive user experience, but if it doesn't perform well — as in response time — then the users will hate it. They don't want to wait. Why should they? They will just go somewhere else. Your job is to design and implement user experiences that are lovable and that performance spectacularly.
Application Performance Management Starts During UX Design
Forrester defines performance as:
The speed with which an application performs a function that meets business requirements and user expectations.
To insure speedy application performance, organizations should start application performance management (APM) during the application design process. Too few user experience (UX) designers understand the performance implications of their designs. But, application architects must also help UX design professionals by finding clever ways to:

The lines are blurring between software and services — with the rise of cloud computing, that trend has accelerated faster than ever. But customers aren't just looking at cloud business models, such as software-as-a-service (SaaS), when they want more flexibility in the way they license and use software. While in 2008 upfront perpetual software licenses (capex) made up more than 80% of a company's software license spending, this percentage will drop to about 70% in 2011. The other 30% will consist of different, more flexible licensing models, including financing, subscription services, dynamic pricing, risk sharing, or used license models.
Forrester is currently digging deeper into the different software licensing models, their current status in the market, as well as their benefits and challenges. We kindly ask companies that are selling software and/or software related services to participate in our ~20-minute Online Forrester Research Software Licensing Survey, letting us know about current and future licensing strategies. Of course, all answers are optional and will be kept strictly confidential. We will only use anonymous, aggregated data in our upcoming research report, and interested participants can get a consolidated upfront summary of the survey results if they chose to enter an optional email address in the survey.
