About Julie
My name is Kevin Wendelburg. I am a property owner, a real estate investor, and an Alabama real estate agent committed to 100% customer satisfaction. I will strive to under-promise and over-deliver with everything that I do. Hard work, personal responsibility, and an over achieving desire to provide the best product on the market are the cornerstones of my business, RelaxontheBeach.
I started RelaxontheBeach in 2004 because I knew that the vacation rental/property management business in Gulf Shores needed a complete overhaul. I purchased my first beach house in the early 2000's and immediately listed it with one of the larger property management firms in town. While I was thrilled that the house rented as well as it did, I was not happy with the draconian commission structure, poor cleaning standards, and slipshod maintenance.
I began to advertise and manage my property on my own and I doubled rental revenue in the first 24 months of owning the property.
Neighbors took note. I received phone calls. I received emails. How in the world, they wondered, was I able to generate so much traffic? Every weekend there was a car in my driveway. 'Simple' I said, 'treat every customer like family.'
The personal touch makes all the difference. Our potential guests are personally greeted by a knowledgeable representative. Our quality control director takes pride in the condition of all of our properties and ensures that our thorough cleanliness standards are met. We have a full maintenance department that does its best to address any maintenance concerns quickly.
We strive to provide guests with all the creature comforts of home. All RelaxontheBeach properties feature high speed Internet access and cable television. Many are pet friendly!
We want you to feel like you are getting a tremendous value for your vacation dollar. We want you to come back, and we want you to tell your friends. Give us a try. A great vacation awaits!
Why Julie chose Gulf Shores
I chose to buy a vacation rental house in Gulf Shores for a variety of reasons....the people are absolutely fantastic! Southern hospitality doesn't even begin to tell the entire story. From the waitresses with constant smiles on their faces, to the deep sea fishing boat captains with endless stories to tell, coastal Alabama can't be beat!
The beaches are the best in the world. Period. The finest white sand and the bluest turquoise waters await each and every guest. Need I say more?
World class golf is available in spades. Try your luck at Kiva Dunes, a perennial top 10 in the state of Alabama and ranked in Golf Digest's 'places to play' for an unforgettable links experience on the Gulf of Mexico. If you have a more traditional American layout in mind, the Peninsula Golf Club, with its 27 manicured holes and GPS loaded carts is terrific.
Anyone say 'fresh seafood?' You can't go wrong at any of our restaurants. Try 'Bahama Bobs' for the fresh catch of the day. The lunch specials are to die for. Its hard not to enjoy a meal when the majestic waters of the Gulf can be seen from your table!
Guestbook comments from the manager
We had two small problems after we arrived that were rectified very quickly after we placed a phone call. Beth and Kenny were great. We found the condo neat and clean with a generous amount of towels and blankets clean and ready for use. We were very pleased. Relax on the Beach team (Teri, Beth and Kenny) provide EXCEPTIONAL and professional care and information!! We will absolutely vacation again in a Relax on the Beach home! It is very hard to top how good you guys are. Please keep up the great work!!! Recommendations for future guests - Actually, we recommend Relax On The Beach to the other snowbirds we meet during our stay. Especially, the ones that are not happy with their provider. We know that they will be taken care of in a fair and consistent manner if they deal with your company. We enjoyed the Complete Angler, the Gulf Island Grill and Mikee's. The bus ride to Biloxi Casinos was a great value and a fun trip especially when you want to fill up a poor weather day. We do not use Facebook, but we do promote your company both on vacation and back home.

The company has been selected by the National Park Service to install and maintain effective termite control systems for 14 national historic sites in the Delaware Valley, including Independence Hall.
Research from North Carolina State University shows that some insect pests are thriving in warm, urban environments and developing earlier, limiting the impact of parasitoid wasps that normally help keep those pest populations in check.
When female fruit flies have to decide where to lay their eggs, they take their lead from what they see most others in their group do, new research shows.

Narnia ... where horses talk ... where treachery is brewing ... where destiny awaits.

New BDS Strategy: Sucky Bands Encouraged to Not Boycott Israel
Heeb Magazine recently asked the question: "Is Israel's Air Supply Boast Proof of Cultural Boycott's Strength?" As YNET reports, "Veteran Australian soft rock duo Air Supply will arrive in Israel in September for a series of concerts, following the success of its previous visit to the Holy Land three years ago."
Heeb's Bernard Mendelbaum suggests that the fact that Israeli officials have been "reduced to bragging that the 80s shlock band is coming to visit" represents "one of the sadder examples of how the cultural boycott against Israel is having success." But Air Supply's visit is also part of a new strategy for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.
According to an unnamed source who spoke exclusively to me, while the call for the academic and cultural boycott of Israel continues to appeal to all people of conscience to "comprehensively and consistently boycott all Israeli academic and cultural institutions," musicians and other artists who have demonstrated a total lack of integrity, not to mention talent, are being actively encouraged to visit Israel.
"We have had such an amazing group of artists who have come out publicly in support of the boycott, and in some cases have cancelled concerts. In terms of musicians and bands, there's Elvis Costello, Santana, the late Gil Scott Heron, Pixies, Snoop Dogg, Klaxons, Gorillaz, Roger Waters, just to name a few."
"But at the same time, we found ourselves engaged in campaigns to try to convince lame, unprincipled performers like Justin Bieber to also honor the boycott," the source continued. "Then it hit us: not getting to hear Bieber perform actually didn't seem to be a sanction at all. It seemed more like a reward. That's when we started to evolve this new strategy."
The source revealed that BDS supporters have come up with a short list of performers who they plan to urge to go to Israel in order to suck there: the list includes Ke$ha, Black Eyed Peas, and Katy Perry, "ideally playing on the same bill together for maximum suckage," according to a draft proposal that was shown to me.
There is also hope that other "veteran" (i.e. forgotten and desperate) bands will follow in the steps of Air Supply and Deep Purple and schedule concerts in Israel, perhaps even getting back together to do so. "Is Asia still together? They would be good. Or, say, the guys in New Kids on the Block who aren't Wahlbergs," the proposal goes on to suggest.
My source added: "I've also heard that Gene Simmons has publicly criticized musicians who honor the boycott call, so we're sort of hoping he rounds up some other sad reality-show has-beens for a tour of Israel. Maybe he'll even perform with Ozzy Osbourne. Man, imagine how hard that would suck."
The new strategy isn't limited to musicians. Campaigns are underway to encourage sucky performers from across the arts to go and suck in Israel: for example, boycott supporters are calling for "Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark" to move to Tel Aviv, as well as for a retrospective of the films of Michael Bay.
The unnamed source acknowledged that a situation in which great artists of conscience continued to honor the boycott campaign, while sucky performers were encouraged to visit Israel, would have adverse effects upon those inside Israel who support the academic and cultural boycott.
"But these supporters realize that at the end of the day, in the face of the Israeli government's continued flouting of international law and implementation of apartheid measures, performers like Justin Bieber and Air Supply have to follow their sold-off consciences, and just do what they do best.
"Which is to suck," the source added.
As of press time, Beyonce, who was responsible recently for the liberation of the women of Egypt, was unavailable for comment.

ROFL I remember as a teen growing up in Brisbane and there was a free concert with numerous artists, Sports, JoJo Zep others whom I can't remember and in the middle of the line up, Air Supply. People left in their thousands while Air Supply were playing and came back after their set. more than 30 years later I still bear the emotional scars. LOL LOL LOL

Reignwolf won over the Rock Subculture Journal back in 2013, with a supporting slot with Pixies at the El Rey Theater (I then counted Reignwolf as my #1 Supporting Act for the year). I was blown away by Jordan Cook and his two bandmates and their performance on stage, and have been eagerly anticipating seeing a full set from them ever since. Having supported Black Sabbath for much of 2014, Reignwolf will be playing a handful of special shows to close out 2014, with appearances in San Francisco, Portland, Vancouver, and Seattle. If you are anywhere in the vicinity of the West Coast, I can't recommend enough coming out to one or more of these shows. Reignwolf will become a huge phenomenon once their first full studio album hits the streets and the rest of the world catches up to this incredible artist. [Read more…]

Erasure ("The Violet Flame Tour") at Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort | Las Vegas, Nevada | 10/31/2014 (Concert Review + Photos)
"Halloween is so brilliant though, isn't it? 'Cause everyone can dress up; be what they want to do… nobody is like judging you at all for how you look or anything or what you're doing or who you're with, blah, blah, blah …" Andy Bell of Erasure on Halloween at the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. Certainly an interesting combination of band, date, and city to be sure. As the more extroverted of the duo, Andy came dressed in a sort of skeleton costume with accompanying face paint that has some resemblance to the cover art of their latest album; Vince Clarke, set back from the front of the stage and back to one corner, I don't think said anything all night, and was dressed in more business-style attire (though he had the aforementioned art one his laptop lid. However the two contrasting personalities found one another for their journey into music that has gone on for nearly three decades, the magic worked in the beginning and continues to do so today. This was definitely an interesting (in a great way!) night on many levels. I had an opportunity to meet Vince Clarke and Andy Bell from Erasure via the special tickets made available through their PledgeMusic campaign for that newest latest album, The Violet Flame. The aptly named Violet Flame Tour included a number of those new songs mixed into the set, as well as a lot of their many, many hits and favorites. I got the sense that it was a different sort of show for this series of shows, and I'm happy that I got a chance to experience this new music and tour.
The Airborne Toxic Event at Ace of Spades | Sacramento, California | 10/28/2014 (Concert Review + Photos)
"We had a new song come out today… We got a lot of comments on the site. You know, people asking us, are we a rock band? Or are we a folk band? Are we an electronic band? The answer is: fuck off!" Comments from The Airborne Toxic Event's frontman Mikel Jollett, before kicking into that new song, "Wrong", toward the end of the initial set at Ace of Spades in Sacramento. The comment might read as negative, but their music and connection with the crowd was anything but, with that same signer and guitarist jumping off stage and interacting with the crowd several times throughout their one and a half or so set. At one point, he even held a young boy in the air, asking (somewhat rhetorically) if he had the coolest mom there, but virtue of his presence. The band, and supporting act In The Valley Below before them, put on a fantastic show with great music. They are both certainly worth checking out. Even Mikel said, at the end, "Every now and then you get to have a night like tonight – I think this is the best show I've ever played in Sacramento!", and I suspect the fans agree.
MisterWives, Crash Kings, The Soft White Sixties, & Moondog Matinee at Cargo at the Whitney Peak Hotel | Reno, Nevada | 10/24/2014 (Concert Review + Photos)
"Those guys really rocked their faces off, so it was an honor to share the stage with those incredible bands." Mandy Lee of MisterWives, talking about the three awesome bands that took the stage leading up to their set: Crash Kings, The Soft White Sixties, and Moondog Matinee. A quadruple headliner show, each act served as unique showcases of up and coming artists, with each being featured early next year in their own respective episodes of the PBS member station's KNPB television series, Cargo Live at Whitney Peak Hotel, due to start airing early next year. This concert, which ran for about five hours Friday night at Cargo in Reno, Nevada, boasted a fantastic collective of artists and the venue provided a great setting for really exciting and electric shows.

Peter Hook is a founding member of Joy Division and New Order, and next week embarks on his latest tour as Peter Hook & The Light, covering the third and forth New Order albums, Lowlife (1985) and Brotherhood (1986), in full.

Thomson suffers Sevens heartache
September 20, 2010
Adam Thomson has been a standout for Otago this season © Getty Images
Otago flanker Adam Thomson looks certain to miss New Zealand's Commonwealth Games tilt and could be ruled out of contention for the All Blacks' end of year tour after suffering knee ligament damage.
The medial ligament injury came late in Otago's 13-8 ITM Cup loss to Northland in Dunedin on Sunday - Thomson's 50th game for Otago. Thomson has been in fine form during the ITM Cup, putting himself in a position to add to his 17 caps.
The 28-year-old speedy forward was to be assessed on Monday once swelling had subsided. Thomson was set to be involved in the sevens team to represent New Zealand in New Delhi in two weeks.
Also in doubt for the Games are sevens captain DJ Forbes, who has barely run for the past two months while recovering from a groin injury and playmaker Tomasi Cama, who fractured his cheek last month playing for Manawatu.
Forbes returned to the fray off the reserve bench for Counties Manukau in Sunday's loss to Bay of Plenty.

Here is a short final paper I wrote for my class in learning theory. Even though it answers questions posed by a specific writing prompt, I hope it sparks a little discussion here on the blog. As school winds down, I hope to get back to publishing more about writing fiction, philosophy, and learning. For now, please let me know if you'd like to further discuss this paper. Thanks!
Learning Theories and LeadershipStandard
I wrote this short paper recently for a grad class in learning theory. I hope it's useful to those seeking information about the importance of learning theory for educational leaders. Learning standards and theorists such as Carol Dweck and James Comer are discussed.
Stephen King On Writing Concepts, Not PlotsStandard
I've been reading a lot of story-driven fiction lately, including a lot of young adult books like Divergent and things like Doctor Sleep by Stephen King. This prompted me to delve into King's On Writing, in which he explains that good stories start from concepts, not plots.
When I first started writing fiction, I generally started with an idea or feeling I wanted to express, not with stories or characters or anything even remotely interesting to readers. As I evolved a bit, I read Story by Robert McKee and learned the value of plotting out engaging stories with notecards and developing interesting characters using Dungeons-and-Dragons-style character record sheets. This is a laborious approach, but it helped me to refocus my writing. However, it makes for a slow process, and I had to put a my pots on simmer rather than boil while starting a family and enrolling in grad school. Continue reading
Remembering Ronnie: An Old Soldier Tells His StoryStandard
I wrote a little while back about learning to listen better. At the time, I was primarily concerned with improving my relationships with my family, friends, students, and colleagues. What I didn't expect was that actively practicing my listening skills might lock me into an hour-and-a-half long conversation at CVS. Yes, that's where I spent last Wednesday night, talking with a Vietnam vet named Ronnie. Here's a brief retelling.
I went out to CVS to pick up some antacid that night. I recently did a little self-diagnosing, and I think I have LPR, or "silent reflux", but that's a story for another day. I stood around trying to decide which medicine to purchase, when suddenly I heard a gravelly voice behind me. Continue reading
Will Smith's Words of Wisdom from the Tonight ShowStandard
I don't watch a lot of late-night TV. As a new father, teacher, grad student, and martial arts instructor, I don't have a lot of energy to stay up at night! I do like watching clips of episodes from The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Conan O'Brien, and my new favorite, Jimmy Fallon. You'd have to be living under a rock if you missed his ascension to the hosting spot on The Tonight Show. If you're like me, you may have even missed this great interview with his first-ever guest, Will Smith.
How to Get Teachers to Stop Hating the Common CoreStandard
The backlash against the Common Core among teacher is, at its essence, a leadership problem.
In Heifetz and Laurie's near seminal "The Work of Leadership" the two leadership scholars start by explaining the difference between adaptive challenges (game-changers, challenges that enable positive growth) and technical challenges (business-as-usual type stuff that just needs to get done).
In general, it seems that CCSS and the challenges it presents are being approached as technical challenges by many school leaders. However, there is a tremendous opportunity to make them out to be adaptive challenges and to rally staff behind a common vision.
Why I Love the Common Core State Standards Part IIStandard
I'd like to continue the ideas from my last post about the roll-out of the Common Core State Standards. Recent outcry makes my view even more unpopular–especially among teachers.
A colleague of mine, Liz Natale, recently wrote an essay lamenting CCSS and education reform that, rightfully, went viral. Her writing is heartfelt and brave and I admire her for sharing her passion.
My union also distributed this speech by Diane Ravitch. In it, she details the history of the CCSS, how they were developed in a sort of secrecy, and why they may not be the best solution for education reform. As usual, Ravitch is well informed and cogent in her statements.
I agree with Natale and Ravitch on many points. Do I love the NCLB-esque focus on testing? No. Do I love the new models for teacher evaluation? No. Do I love the breakneck pace of implementing the Common Core and it's correlated assessments that districts face, the whirlwind that has teachers questioning whether to remain in the profession? No.
I wrote my own critique of how Connecticut planned tackle education reform a few years back. I still feel teachers aren't given their due. The old saying that teaching is a 5-9 job is more of a truism than a witticism, and even more unrecorded work hours will slip on by as we rally to meet all the new demands placed on us.
But there's still something that bothers me about rejecting CCSS wholesale. While many of my fellow teachers' reactions range from frustration to righteous indignation to utter despair, I can't help but notice the silver lining. I am actually excited by the Common Core, and I can't wait to effectively incorporate it into the curricula of the classes I teach. And after even more reflection, I think I know why. Originally, I thought it was because of the focus on independent learning. Now I know it's more than this. Continue reading

44. And he gave them the countries of the nations: and they possessed the labor of the peoples. 236236 That is, the products of their labor; their buildings, vineyards, cultivated fields, etc. The Israelites took possession of the land of Canaan, and of course possessed themselves of the advantages arising from its occupation, and cultivation by those who previously inhabited it. — See Deuteronomy 6:10, 11; Joshua 24:13. 45. That they might observe his ordinances, and keep his law. Hallelujah.
44 And he gave them the countries of the nations The Psalmist sets forth the final cause why God in so many ways displayed his wonderful power in redeeming the people, why he did not cease to cherish and defend them in the deserts — why he gave them the possession of the land as he had promised; and this was, that they might dedicate and devote themselves wholly to his service. And, in fact, the end which God proposed in our election was, that he might have on the earth a people by whom he should be called upon and served. The more effectually to stir up the Jews to gratitude, the prophet magnifies the greatness of the divine goodness, by declaring, that they occupied far and wide the countries of the nations, and that all the property which many states had acquired with great labor, they now possessed as it were by right of inheritance. The plural number, both as to the word countries and nations, serves to exhibit in a still more striking light the divine goodness in this matter. The psalm concludes with briefly defining the manner of glorifying God, That they might keep his law It would not be enough to celebrate his grace only with the tongue. To this there must be added practical and experimental piety. And as God rejects all religious services of men's invention, the only way of rightly serving him which remains, consists in keeping his commandments.

Essays from Peter Thiel's Stanford class on startups. In a nutshell, freely available material like this is why I am a college dropout. Every essay is worth reading — queue up your Pocket. I particularly appreciated this one on markets, competition, and monopolies. (via Spittle)
Off to Philly today for SRCCON, a gathering of some of the nerds who make the technology behind the news. I am so excited! For years, CMSes, publishing workflows, and the unsexy but very mission critical technologies have been my passion. Yet most of the conferences, online discussion, etc. have skirted around the topic, in part because legacy organizational structure hasn't let the hackers get to work.
Funny how things go if you stick at it long enough. Washington Post and Vox have made great leaps forward, and convinced executives everywhere that change is possible. Hell, even The New Yorker relaunched on WordPress two days ago. NBD.
Back to Portland Saturday night, off to Sunriver Sunday through Wednesday, and then to New York for WCNYC Thursday through the following Wednesday. REST API retooling here we come!
5:30 am, Monday morning, and the first bug to bite me this week? Edit Flow / lack of custom status support in core.
We had our 6 oz toothpaste container taken from us at KEF just now — Leah mistakenly put it in the bin. When I asked why it was taken, the security agent explained there was some greater than 4 oz rule, even when it was obvious there was less than 4 oz of cream in the tube.
This logic is flawed in a couple of regards. First, if I really wanted to get more than 4 oz of liquid on a flight, I could just separate it into two or more containers. Second, the ziplock bag they generally recommend putting all of your liquids in is far larger than 4 oz. I could just fill my ziplock with a number of full 4 oz containers.
When the best explanation an agent can put forth is "well, that's the rule", something has gone horribly wrong with aviation security. It doesn't take much to circumvent the system.
How much should a custom WordPress website cost? Excellent piece by Brian Krogsgard — every paragraph rings with truth.
My first speeding ticket
On Monday afternoon, coming into Ísafjörður, I was pulled over for speeding — my first time ever, surprisingly. Naturally, I decided to contest it.
The way to Ísafjörður from Hellnar is a gnarly three hour gravel road. Before hitting town, you'll drive through a long (~10 km) tunnel with a 60 km/h speed limit. After the tunnel, the speed limit goes back up to 90 km/h. And then, kilometers before you enter the city proper, it drops back down to 60 km/h. But I missed that sign (crying baby and all). Most of Iceland is 90 km/h unless you're within a city's limits.
We took a pit stop between the tunnel and town at Bonus to pick up groceries for the week. Within a couple of minutes out of the parking lot, a police car passed us, pulled a U-turn, and flashed its lights. Busted!
The police asked me to get in the back seat of the police car because they video record the interaction. They explained the 60 km/h speed limit and showed me their clocked speed, which I didn't disagree with. I was going 82 km/h because I thought the speed limit was still 90 km/h. I explained I wanted to contest the ticket.
In the US, my understanding of the game is this: get a speeding ticket, contest it in front of a judge, get anywhere between 0-100% off. Typically it's at least 50% off. And that's if you formally get a ticket — if you have a cute baby in the back seat, the police will just let you off with a warning. I'd grade my argument a B-, worth 40% off.
In Iceland, contesting a speeding ticket is mostly unheard of, and confuses the police. First, you'll have to go with them to the station. There you'll need to explain for at least an hour why you're wanting to submit an appeal. Once you get them to agree, you'll need to go back each morning to ask whether your appeal paperwork has been submitted yet. But don't worry, it hasn't.
I also learned:
- Foreigners have the same rights as Icelanders to an appeal process (Article 30 of Act On Foreigners No. 96 /2002).
- Your actual rights to an appeal process are pretty obtuse to understand (Section 7 of Administrative Procedure Act).
- The police say you can be detained in the country during your appeal, which I didn't ever see in writing. This was largely their argument for why I should pay the fee in a prompt manner.
- Electronic speed limit signs, which show your current speed and flash if you're over, are 1.5 million ISK (~$13k USD).
- Ísafjörður has one of the aforementioned signs on the lesser used road into town. I'd be curious as to why it's there, and not on the main road.
- Iceland does have a legal process for requesting anonymized data from the government. I'd hypothesize speeding tickets during the summer months are a cash cow.
Unless you're me, it's probably easier for you to just pay the ticket via credit card while in the back seat of the police car. I wanted to get my money's worth in the form of a better understanding of Iceland's legal system.
And remember, if you don't exercise your legal rights, you might find you no longer have them.

We're staying at Hotel Hellnar, near the end of the Snaelfellsnes Peninsula, for three nights before taking the ferry to Flatey and driving on to Ísafjörður. Our hiking is dependent on the weather. It was clear enough this morning to get one in, but started pouring as soon as we returned. This afternoon we decided to drive up to Stykkisholmur and check out the town. Tomorrow? Either hiking in Snaefellsjokull National Park, or watching movies in our room.

The latest revision of the You Tube app is goofy. I cannot scroll to the right on each video search result. I have to navigate up then down then to the right for each video result after searching. Once a result is highlighted, the new search phrase feature that is located below the search box gets highlighted, thus I must do the above mentioned procedure.

Nick Wass, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — With Washington trailing after two periods and in danger of losing its fourth consecutive game, Capitals coach Dale Hunter figured it was time for a little bit of a rallying cry.
The gist of his speech in the locker room? According to forward Brooks Laich, "He said, 'Just quit trying to use your skill, and use your will a little bit more.'"
That's exactly what the Capitals did, and captain Alex Ovechkin led the way. After Marcus Johansson tied the game with 3:58 left in regulation, Ovechkin scored on a wrist shot at 4:09 of overtime, and Washington came back to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 Thursday night.
"Right now, it's (a) pretty hard time," Ovechkin said of Washington's struggles while it tries to make the playoffs. "We just have to keep going and keep going."
He's mired in his poorest season and entered Thursday with only 26 goals and 23 assists, going without a point in three games. The two-time NHL MVP celebrated the 12th overtime goal of his career — he had one last week to beat the Islanders for Washington's previous victory — by yelling and racing over to leap into the boards after taking Dmitry Orlov's pass.
The goal was set up by poor puck management by the Lightning, allowing Capitals defenseman Dennis Wideman to gain possession and send it to Orlov, who found Ovechkin all alone on the right side, instead of his usual perch on the left.
"If you come in here and you get a point, it's not supposed to be disappointing," Tampa Bay coach Guy Boucher said. "But it's disappointing because it was just a dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb play, that last play."
Ovechkin's goal ruined the first NHL start by Lightning goalie Dustin Tokarski, who played quite well most of the evening and finished with 29 saves. The 22-year-old Canadian was recalled from Norfolk of the AHL on Wednesday, a day after Mathieu Garon got injured in a game.
By the third period, Tokarski was severely dehydrated and fighting cramps. When there were breaks, he would drape an arm over his net to try to stay upright.
Teddy Purcell helped the Lightning take the lead by extending his point streak to 11 games with a goal and an assist on power plays. He has seven goals and 15 assists during that run.
About 11 minutes into the second period, Brett Connolly, a 19-year-old rookie forward, was hit in the head by what appeared to be Washington defenseman Mike Green's left arm. Connolly stayed down on the ice for a bit, then was taken toward the locker room. He returned before the end of the period.
On the play, defenseman Orlov had Connolly pinned against the boards when Green joined in and knocked Connolly down. There was no penalty called.
"I saw it. The league has to look at that. It's right at the head," Boucher said. "The head's targeted. For me, it's clear. The ref didn't see it. But, you know, the refs are on the ice. They can't see everything. It happens so fast. There's people beside them.
"It's a head target. It's clear. We just watched it on video."
Green wasn't available for comment after the game.
Asked about the sequence, Hunter said: "Both teams were hitting hard."
Washington led 1-0 after the first period on Keith Aucoin's goal. Ryan Malone tied it for the Lightning at 7:25 of the second when the puck went in off his skate, and Purcell was credited with the go-ahead goal when his shot went in off Capitals defenseman John Carlson's skate with 1:18 left in that period.
The Capitals managed only three shots in the second period, which closed with boos from the stands, a refrain growing more and more common.
"We were frustrated. We were a little down on ourselves," Capitals defenseman Karl Alzner said, noting that before the third period, Hunter "just came in and pretty much told us to man up and start playing. Everybody."
After getting that earful from Hunter, Washington applied a lot more pressure in the third and OT, resulting in Johansson's tying goal, then Ovechkin's winner.
"Well, you know, every game is like a playoff game right now," Hunter said.
NOTES: Capitals goalie Tomas Vokoun made his first start in seven games, and first at home in a month, and made 24 saves. ... In his last eight games in the minors, Tokarski was 8-0 with a 1.75 goals-against average. ... Tampa Bay opens a season-high, seven-game homestand on Saturday against Carolina. ... After going 2-2-1 on its five-game homestand, Washington will play the next six of seven on the road.
