I just wanted to leave some feedback about my visit to the Blaine Minnesota salon on 03/23/2012. My stylist was [a Regency student] and I feel I just need to let someone know what an absolutely amazing job she did! I came in with an idea in mind and was not sure exactly how it would turn out, but she more than exceeded my expectations and made my hair something beautiful! From what I gathered from the other stylists, what I was asking for was something difficult that they do not get to do that often at all, but she took on the challenge and did an absolutely AMAZING job! I will definitely be returning to see her next time I need my hair done, and will be referring my friends and family to her!
A big thank you to [the Regency student]!!!
Tracy S
Today I went to the Blaine location in MN. I received a cut, bleach and toner. I just want to say I was extremely impressed with [the Regency student's] professionalism. The teachers were also very helpful in deciding what I should do with my hair. I walked in with black boxed dyed hair and [the Regency student] really took the time to evaluate my options with me. I hope she gets recognition for this.
Grace N
[A Regency instructor] instructed [a Regency student] so well in styling my hair and it looked great! [The Regency student] is a true asset to your school with her positive energy and experience. I will be back soon!
No name given
I got a few haircuts done here and plus a updo done when I went to my prom I loved them all and I love how they styled everything.
First time customer at Regency. Love the work done by [a Regency student]. She really took her time and did a great job. The instructor was always available for student assistance which was also nice. Will definitely be returning to Regency by my home location in IL.

Netflix Open Sources Curator ZooKeeper Library
I'm excited to read that Netflix is getting even more involved in the open source world and the team there is starting to open source some of the tools developed internally. As some of you may already know, Netflix has been experimenting with quite a few and it is a heavy user of NoSQL databases running the majority of they services in the cloud.
The first project announced and available already on GitHub is Curator,a ZooKeeper client wrapper and rich ZooKeeper framework (nb: ZooKeeper just released version 3.4.0).
Curator deals with ZooKeeper complexity in the following ways:
- Retry Mechanism: Curator supports a pluggable retry mechanism. All ZooKeeper operations that generate a recoverable error get retried per the configured retry policy. Curator comes bundled with several standard retry policies (e.g. exponential backoff).
- Connection State Monitoring: Curator constantly monitors the ZooKeeper connection. Curator users can listen for state changes in the connection and respond accordingly.
- ZooKeeper Instance Management: Curator manages the actual connection to the ZooKeeper cluster using the standard ZooKeeper class. However, the instance is managed internally (though you can access it if needed) and recreated as needed. Thus, Curator provides a reliable handle to the ZooKeeper cluster (unlike the built-in implementation).
- Correct, Reliable Recipes: Curator comes bundled with implementations of most of the important ZooKeeper recipes (and some additional recipes as well). The implementations are written using ZooKeeper best practices and take account of all known edge cases (as mentioned above).
- Curator's focus on recipes makes your code more resilient as you can focus strictly on the ZooKeeper feature you're interested in without worrying about correctly implementing ZooKeeper housekeeping requirements.
Next on the list of open source projects from Netflix:
- Astyanax - The Netflix Cassandra Client
- Priam - Co-Process for backup/recovery, Token Management, and Centralized Configuration management for Cassandra
- CassJMeter - JMeter plugin to run cassandra tests

Apache ZooKeeper 3.4.0 Released to Be Followed Soon by Production-Ready Version
Apache ZooKeeper, the high-performance coordination service exposing services like naming, configuration management, synchronization, etc. for distributed applications, has reached version 3.4.0.
Even if the official announcement was laconic, ZooKeeper 3.4.0 features over 150 fixes.
The most important ones are summarized by Patrick Hunt in this Cloudera blog post:
- ZooKeeper 3.3.3 clients are compatible with 3.4.0 servers
- Native Windows version of C client
- Support Kerberos authentication of clients
- Support Kerberos authentication of clients
- Improved REST Interface
- Existing monitoring support has been extended through the introduction of a new 'mntr' 4 letter word
- Add tools and recipes for monitoring as a contrib
- Web-based Administrative Interface
- Automating log and snapshot cleaning
- Add logging/stats to identify production deployment issues
- Support for building RPM and DEB packages
Something to keep in mind though: ZooKeeper 3.4.0 is not production ready yet. After extensive testing, it will be followed soon by a minor release that will be production-ready.

Experimenting with Hadoop using Cloudera VirtualBox Demo
If you don't count the download, you'll get this up and running in 5 minutes tops. At the end you'll have Hadoop, Sqoop, Pig, Hive, HBase, ZooKeeper, Oozie, Hume, Flume, and Whirr all configured and ready to experiment with.
Making it easy for users to experiment with these tools increases the chances for adoption. Adoption means business.

riak_zab: ZooKeeper's Zab Protocol for Riak
Last night, Mark Phillips[1] sent me the following message:
Yesterday a Riak community member, Joseph Blumstedt released a pair of repos: riak_zab and riak_zab_example. In short, riak_zab is an extension for riak_core that provides totally ordered atomic broadcast capabilities.
If your first reaction was something along the line "so what?", then you are not alone. Anyway I hope I've done my homework and now I understand why this is both interesting and important.
ZooKeeper is a coordination service created by Yahoo! to allow large scale applications to perform coordination tasks such as leader election, status propagation, and rendezvous. Embedded into ZooKeeper is a totally ordered broadcast protocol: Zab[2].
ZooKeeper makes the following requirements on the Zab broadcast protocol:
- Reliable delivery
- If a message, m, is delivered by one server, then it will be eventually delivered by all correct servers.
- Total order
- If message a is delivered before message b by one server, then every server that delivers a and b delivers a before b.
- Causal order
- If message a causally precedes message b and both messages are delivered, then a must be ordered before b.
- Prefix property:
- If m is the last message delivered for a leader L, any message proposed before m by L must also be delivered
Putting it together:
riak_zab is an extension for riak_core that provides totally ordered atomic broadcast capabilities. This is accomplished through a pure Erlang implementation of Zab, the Zookeeper Atomic Broadcast protocol invented by Yahoo! Research.
Basically this means that many operations that were typically hard to do well using the Dynamo eventual consistency model which Riak implements with riak_core are now theoretically possible. In case you'd like to read more about riak_core I'd suggest these posts Building blocks of Dynamo-like distributed systems, riak_core: building distributed applications without shared state, and Where to start with riak_core .
Indeed there are other Dynamo aspects like synchronization, scaling, ring rebalancing, handoff that riak_zab had to address and its approach is documented on the project page
Technically, riak_zab isn't focused on message delivery. Rather, riak_zab provides consistent replicated state.
So why is this important? While parts of an application can deal with eventual consistency, there are typically a few aspects of an app where stronger consistency is needed for various reasons. A few such examples:
- Distributed Counters — just ask Digg people how they implemented distributed counters in Cassandra or check how Twitter built a ZooKeeper and Cassandra based solution for realtime analytics .
- Ordered Messaging
- Compare-and-Swap Operations
- Set Operations
- Sub-document updates
- Multi-key transactions
riak_zab will theoretically allow users to reap the availability of the standard eventually consistent model Riak provides and opt in to stronger consistency for the parts of the app that require it. In other words, it expands the number of CAP trade offs that a developer can make beyond the R, W and N model and makes possible functionality that relies on consistency guarantees.
After connecting all these dots, I've finally got it (nb: thanks Mark for sending this out!). And it definitely sounds like an exciting addition to riak_core. The caveat here is that even if this code has been tested in an academic environment the project is still an alpha version. Hopefully other members of the Riak community will pick it up and together with Basho guys will make it production ready.

Recipe for a Distributed Realtime Tweet Search System
- Place Voldemort, Kafka, and Sensei on a couple of servers.
Arrange them with taste:
Spray a large quantity of tweets on the system
Preparation time:
24 hours
For more servings, add the appropriate number of servers.
- One design choice was letting the process that writes to Voldemort also be a Kafka consumer. Although this would be cleaner, we would risk a data-race where search may return hit array before they are yet added to Voldemort. By making sure it is first added to Voldemort, we can rely on it being an authoritative storage for our tweets.
- You may have already realized Kafka is acting as a proxy for twitter stream, and we could have also streamed tweets directly into the search systems, bypassing the Kafka layer. What we would be missing is the ability to play back tweet events from a specific check-point. One really nice feature about Kafka is that you can keep a consumption point to have data replayed. This makes reindexing for cases such as data corruption and schema changes, etc., possible. Furthermore, to scale search, we would have a growing number of search nodes consume from the same Kafka stream. Kafka is written in a way where adding consumers does not affect through-put of the system really helps in scaling the entire system.
- Another important design decision was on using Voldemort for storage. One solution would be instead store tweets in the search index, e.g. Lucene stored fields. The benefits with this approach would be stronger consistency between search and store, and also the stored data would follow the retention policy of that's defined by the search system. However, other than the fact that Lucene stored field is no-where near as optimal comparing to a Voldemort cluster (an implementation issue), there are more convincing reasons:
- We can first see the consistency benefit for having search and store be together is negligible. Actually, if we follow our assumption of tweets being append-only and we always write to Voldemort first, we really wouldn't have consistency issues. Yet, having data storage reside on the same search system would disproportionally introduce contention for IO bandwidth and OS cache, as data volume increases, search performance can be negatively impacted.
- The point about retention is rather valid. As search index guarantees older tweets to be expired, Voldemort store would continue to grow. Our decision ultimately came down to two points: 1) Voldemort's growth factor is very different, e.g. adding new records into the system is much cheaper, so it is feasible to have a much longer data retention policy. 2) Having have cluster of tweet storage allows us to integrate with other systems if desired for analytics, display etc.

Rainbird: Twitter's ZooKeeper + Cassandra Based Realtime Analytics Solution
Kevin Weil[1] presented Twitter's ZooKeeper and Cassandra based solution for realtime analytics named Rainbird at Strata 2011:
Until recently, counters where a unique feature of HBase. While the latest version of Cassandra does not include distributed counters, this feature is available in Cassandra's trunk.

The Backstory of Yahoo and Hadoop
We currently have nearly 100 people working on Apache Hadoop and related projects, such as Pig, ZooKeeper, Hive, Howl, HBase and Oozie. Over the last 5 years, we've invested nearly 300 person-years into these projects. […] Today Yahoo runs on over 40,000 Hadoop machines (>300k cores). They are used by over a thousand regular users from our science and development teams. Hadoop is at the center of our research in search, advertising, spam detection, personalization and many other topics.
I assume there's no surpise to anyone I'm a big fan of Yahoo! open source initiatives.

Apache Whirr: Cloud Common Service API
- A cloud-neutral way to run services. You don't have to worry about the idiosyncrasies of each provider.
- A common service API. The details of provisioning are particular to the service.
- Smart defaults for services. You can get a properly configured system running quickly, while still being able to override settings as needed.
For now, Whirr supports only Hadoop, Cassandra, and Zookeeper on Amazon EC2, but roadmap specify support for both more products and cloud solutions.
While understanding the advantages of abstracting away each cloud custom API, I'm wondering why this project have been started from scratch and not built on top of solution like Chef or Puppet1.
Could anyone please remind me what similar projects are available in Python? ↩

Quick Reference: Hadoop Tools Ecosystem
Just a quick reference of the continuously growing Hadoop tools ecosystem.
The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing.
A distributed file system that provides high throughput access to application data.
A software framework for distributed processing of large data sets on compute clusters.
Amazon Elastic MapReduce
Amazon Elastic MapReduce is a web service that enables businesses, researchers, data analysts, and developers to easily and cost-effectively process vast amounts of data. It utilizes a hosted Hadoop framework running on the web-scale infrastructure of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop (CDH)
Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop (CDH) sets a new standard for Hadoop-based data management platforms.
A high-performance coordination service for distributed applications. ZooKeeper is a centralized service for maintaining configuration information, naming, providing distributed synchronization, and providing group services.
A scalable, distributed database that supports structured data storage for large tables.
A data serialization system. Similar to ☞ Thrift and ☞ Protocol Buffers.
Sqoop ("SQL-to-Hadoop") is a straightforward command-line tool with the following capabilities:
- Imports individual tables or entire databases to files in HDFS
- Generates Java classes to allow you to interact with your imported data
- Provides the ability to import from SQL databases straight into your Hive data warehouse
Flume is a distributed, reliable, and available service for efficiently moving large amounts of data soon after the data is produced.
Hive is a data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop that provides tools to enable easy data summarization, adhoc querying and analysis of large datasets data stored in Hadoop files. It provides a mechanism to put structure on this data and it also provides a simple query language called Hive QL which is based on SQL and which enables users familiar with SQL to query this data. At the same time, this language also allows traditional map/reduce programmers to be able to plug in their custom mappers and reducers to do more sophisticated analysis which may not be supported by the built-in capabilities of the language.
A high-level data-flow language and execution framework for parallel computation. Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs. The salient property of Pig programs is that their structure is amenable to substantial parallelization, which in turns enables them to handle very large data sets.
Oozie is a workflow/coordination service to manage data processing jobs for Apache Hadoop. It is an extensible, scalable and data-aware service to orchestrate dependencies between jobs running on Hadoop (including HDFS, Pig and MapReduce).
Cascading is a Query API and Query Planner used for defining and executing complex, scale-free, and fault tolerant data processing workflows on a Hadoop cluster.
Cascalog is a tool for processing data on Hadoop with Clojure in a concise and expressive manner. Cascalog combines two cutting edge technologies in Clojure and Hadoop and resurrects an old one in Datalog. Cascalog is high performance, flexible, and robust.
Hue is a graphical user interface to operate and develop applications for Hadoop. Hue applications are collected into a desktop-style environment and delivered as a Web application, requiring no additional installation for individual users.
You can read more about HUE on ☞ Cloudera blog.
Chukwa is a data collection system for monitoring large distributed systems. Chukwa is built on top of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and Map/Reduce framework and inherits Hadoop's scalability and robustness. Chukwa also includes a flexible and powerful toolkit for displaying, monitoring and analyzing results to make the best use of the collected data.
A Scalable machine learning and data mining library.
Integration with Relational databases
- Oracle
- Hadoop connector for Oracle Ora-Oop
- Hadoop and Oracle Parallel Processing
Integration with Data Warehouses
The only list I have is MapReduce, RDBMS, and Data Warehouse, but I'm afraid it is quite a bit old. So maybe someone could help me update it.
Anything else? Once we validate this list, I'll probably have to move it on the NoSQL reference

Cloudera: All Your Big Data Are Belong to Us
Matt Asay (GigaOm):
Where Cloudera shines, however, is in taking these different contributions and making Hadoop relevant for enterprise IT[8], where data mining has waxed and waned over the years. […] Cloudera, in other words, is banking on the complexity of Hadoop to drive enterprise IT to its own Cloudera Enteprise tools.
Additionally, I think what Cloudera is "selling" is a good set of tools — Hadoop, HBase, Hive, Pig, Oozie, Sqoop, Flume, Zookeeper, Hue — put together based on their expertise in the field.

Zookeeper experience
The shortest description of Zookeeper:
ZK has a very simple, file system like API. One can create a path, set the value of a path, read the value of a path, delete a path, and list the children of a path. ZK does a couple of more interesting things: (a) one can register a watcher on a path and get notified when the children of a path or the value of a path is changed, (b) a path can be created as ephemeral, which means that if the client that created the path is gone, the path is automatically removed by the ZK server. However, don't let the simple API fool you.
The rest of the article is about handling client side state.

5 Years Old Hadoop Celebration at Hadoop Summit, Plus New Tools
I didn't realize Hadoop has been so long on the market: 5 years. In just a couple of hours, the celebration will start at ☞ Hadoop Summit in Santa Clara.
Yahoo!, the most active contributor to Hadoop, will ☞ open source today two new tools: Hadoop with Security and Oozie, a workflow engine.
Hadoop Security integrates Hadoop with Kerberos, providing secure access and processing of business-sensitive data.This enables organizations to leverage and extract value from their data and hardware investment in Hadoop across the enterprise while maintaining data security, allowing new collaborations and applications with business-critical data.
Oozie is an open-source workflow solution to manage jobs running on Hadoop, including HDFS, Pig, and MapReduce. Oozie — a name for an elephant tamer — was designed for Yahoo!'s rigorous use case of managing complex workflows and data pipelines at global scale. It is integrated with Hadoop Security and is quickly becoming the de-facto standard for ETL (extraction, transformation, loading) processing at Yahoo!.
Update: It looks like the news are not stopping here, Cloudera making ☞ a big announcement accompanying the new release of Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop CDHv3 Beta2:
The additional packages include HBase, the popular distributed columnar storage system with fast read-write access to data managed by HDFS, Hive and Pig for query access to data stored in a Hadoop cluster, Apache Zookeeper for distributed process coordination and Sqoop for moving data between Hadoop and relational database systems. We've adopted the outstanding workflow engine out of Yahoo!, Oozie, and have made contributions of our own to adapt it for widespread use by general enterprise customers. We've also released – this is a big deal, and I'm really pleased to announce it – our continuous data loading system, Flume, and our Hadoop User Environment software (formerly Cloudera Desktop, and henceforth "Hue") under the Apache Software License, version 2.
Also worth mentioning, going forward Cloudera will also have a commercial offering: ☞ Cloudera Enterprise:
Cloudera Enterprise combines the open source CDHv3 platform with critical monitoring, management and administrative tools that our enterprise customers have told us they need to put Hadoop into production. We've added dashboards for critical IT tasks, including monitoring cluster status and activity, keeping track of data flows into Hadoop in real time based on the services that Flume provides, and controlling access to data and resources by users and groups. We've integrated access controls with Active Directory and other LDAP implementations so that IT staff can control rights and identities in the same way as they do for other business platforms they use. Cloudera Enterprise is available by annual subscription and includes maintenance, updates and support.

These were my first boots to help reduce start up costs. They are durable, the sole has lasted well and the buckles have never came undone or broken after a year riding. I now use a boot offering more stability and protection as my riding has progressed. I still use these boots for light trail riding and they do a good job.Read All Reviews

Prince George Golf Club's 18-hole course unfurls across 6,640 yards of kempt, relatively flat fairways hemmed by fragrant pine trees. The picturesque par 72 poses a moderate challenge to golfers, and the bulk of its difficulty comes in the form of small greens, 13 of which are fortified by at least two sand bunkers and one Frenchman sunbathing in the nude. The back nine presents a slightly harder layout that includes two par 3s where tee shots must clear intervening water hazards on the way to their flagged destinations. A driving range and putting green foster preround practice sessions, and PGA pros roam the club's verdant grounds imparting swing-honing advice in lessons and searching tirelessly for their father's long-lost mashie niblick.
Course at a Glance:
The Great Bull Run brings the thrill of Pamplona's historic event to cities across the United States. Modeled after the Running of the Bulls, this one-day event enables participants to race live bulls, keeping one step ahead of the charging animals to finally prove that toes are better for running than hooves. While the historic Pamplona event has had few serious injuries in its 102 years of existence, The Great Bull Run staff takes even more precautions to ensure runners stay smiling from beginning to end. Additionally, the bulls are given the full respect they deserve, and are not antagonized or harmed before, during, or after the run.
Following the race, runners and newcomers can gather together for a good old-fashioned food fight. Tomato Royale arms entrants with juicy fruit that they can fling at each other. Additional post-run activities include an after-party, live entertainment, and games as well as food and beverages.
Riding a flyboard might make adrenaline seekers feel as though they're inside a prototypical, water-powered Iron Man suit. They take to local waters with their feet strapped into a main board that shoots powerful jets, and their arms control the board's direction with two stabilizing sprayers. Atop the columns of pressurized water, riders can reach speeds of 18.5 miles per hour and heights of nearly 30 feet, enough to chase down gulls escaping with stolen hot dogs. With skillful manipulations of the stabilizers, boarders can perform spins, flips, and even cuts through the water.
Film buffs across six states stare wide-eyed at large cinema screens, losing themselves in first-run Hollywood movies and the smell of fresh, buttery kernels within Your Neighborhood Theatre's 17 locations. Though all theaters prioritize comfortable seating, old-fashioned friendly service, and high-stakes preshow trivia slideshows, each location encompasses its own distinct charm, be it through arthouse décor, 3-D screens, or Rhode Island's vintage 1950's drive-in setting.
The Paragon Marketing Group LLC was created with charity in mind. Under the guidance of founder Scott Johnson, the firm has organized 5K races, football invitationals, and other fundraisers to benefit organizations such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Today, they continue to dedicate themselves to accomplishing great things through athletic contests and other events, earning mentions in publications from the Virginian-Pilot to Ebony magazine.
Extreme Laser Tag sets the stage for space-age combat with its labyrinth of smoky corridors, ramps, and neon-lit walls. Equipped with Nexus Generation laser-tag technology, the arena can host up to 60 vested combatants as they split into teams and vie for points by scoring chest shots on their opponents.
Large plasma monitors outside the arena display the hectic battles in real time, with beam-by-beam battle stats showing who is the scoring leader and who has been melted into plasmic goo. The facility frequently accommodates birthday parties, large corporate gatherings, and fundraiser groups; everyday customers and private partiers often join in battlefield alliances, exacting laser-powered revenge on bosses and double-crossing imaginary friends.

UND Student Back From Japan After EarthquakeA University of North Dakota student stuck in Japan after the earthquake made it home last night.
A University of North Dakota student stuck in Japan after the earthquake made it home last night.
Jared Ridl says it was very hectic trying to get out of the country. He says there were lots of rumors about transportation to the airport being down, but his family back in the United States made sure he got home safely.
Ridl was further inland, so he didn't see the devastation as much as other cities but says he felt the earthquake and tremors afterwards.
He was also without power and was worried about the nuclear plant exploding.
Ridl says, "There was this time before we knew about the reactor and after the earthquake where we all thought that we were lucky. We were okay. We didn't get hit by the tsunami, and things could only get better. How could they obviously get any worse? Then we heard about the reactor, and I didn't want to wait to find out."
Ridl is at his parents' house in Bowman, North Dakota. He's been watching what's going on and says he's worried because many of his friends are still in Japan.
Ridl has been studying abroad in Japan since October.

Mexican >Casa Fiesta
2615 Elm Hill Pike, Nashville, TN | Directions 3721436.151557 -86.675536
Mon-Thu 11am-10pm
Fri 11am-10:30pm
Sat 11am-10pm
Sun 11am-9pm
Love the food! – I love this restaurant! The staff are always so friendly, and the food is fresh and they are very quick with your order.
Sick – Gone here twice...got sick both times...roaches crawling on the wall...
Avoid like the PLAGUE!!! – Avoid this place and do yourself a huge favor...the chips were burnt...the servings were skimpy...the margaritas were overpriced AND weak!
There's more...
They will leave you sitting for 20 minutes where you run out of the pitiful 2 ounces salsa they threw at you when you arrived ...then come back in 20 minutes to take your order, never checking back to see if you need anything after your food FINALLY arrives. When you ask for water, they don't bother to bring it at all.....and then become RUDE when you complain, as if YOU did something wrong! All this and they weren't even BUSY...I wonder WHY :)
I usually over~tip if I get average or decent sevice, but left this worm of a waiter nothing, and did not feel bad about it in the least....
We are NEVER going to that HELLHOLE again!
If dining in the Donelson area for Mexican, I highly recommend Tres Amigos on Lebanon Road. We have eaten there many timesand have always gotten grat food, drinks, AND fast, friendly service....
Great food – The people are so friendly here. The food is always great. My family and I go here all the time.
Disappointed – I live in the area. My family and friends USED to eat here quite often. No more. I refuse to even go back. I had horrible service on several occasions. The manager used to be friendly with a smile. The first time I complained about the bad service, he instantly became defensive and was never friendly again. Three more times I tried... Three more disappointments. I have swapped mexican restaurants and am very pleased.
Disappointed – I was disappointed in Casa Fiesta last night. I tried to call to place a takeout order for over 30 minutes and the line was always busy. So, I went to place my order in person. I ordered soft tacos without meat for someone who is vegetarian and when I got home, all the tacos had meat in them. I know it was Cinco De Mayo yesterday and the place was packed, but being busy is not an excuse for poor customer service.
The hottest, best tasting family ran mexican resturant- you cannot go wrong!! – We've been going to Casa Fiesta for 11 years. We don't eat out often because of your fitness lifestyle but when it's time for a good meal-it's Casa Fiesta. Every one of my birthdays has been celebrated there. My son's first outing after being born? Casa Fiesta. We are both from Texas and there is nothing that can compare to Casa Fiesta. The service has always been good, the food comes out so amazingly fast and HOT!! They have hands down the best salsa on the market. The manager/owner? knows us well and we are never surprised to see one of the "old schoolers" drop by the table and play with our little one. It's a great family place filled with good people working there. It's our second home. The food has tasted the same for 11 years and the turn over rate on servers is very very low- that alone speaks volumes.
We love Casa Fiesta and anytime we have out of town friends it is on the top of the list to visit.
Mediocre Food and Service to Match – I have long been an occasional patron of this restaurant, and have found it to be quite good in the past. When my wife asked if I would enjoy meeting her and her sister there after work for drinks and a bite to eat, I jumped at the chance. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the news that my wife couldn't be served the white wine she ordered because the wine opener couldn't be found. That problem was neatly solved by changing the order to Sangria. I had the same. As a late addition to the party of two, I was pleased when my drink arrived quickly.
When our food was served, however, I was given no flatware, and was unable to attract any server's attention to remedy the situation. I snagged a napkin and flatware from an empty table. Later, when receiving a second round of Sangria, I asked the server for "a couple napkins." His response was to pick up a soiled napkin from across the table from me, one my sister in law had used to blot her lipstick as well as to wipe sauce from her lips, and hand it to me. Enough said. The server never checked back except to present the check.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I was being unreasonable in requesting a couple paper napkins, and I certainly didn't expect the server actually to pick up a soiled napkin, hand it to me, and consider the request fulfilled.
I don't care how cheap the Sangria is, I won't be back. I'm certainly less than impressed by the server's rudeness. I seldom complain about lackluster service: everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt on a "bad day." This server's thoughtlessness crossed the line.
It seems to me that the quality of the food and the service is much lower than the last time I was there over a year ago.
Going Downhill Quick – I have been a patron of Casa Fiesta several years and recently stopped dining there due to the quality and flavor going downhill. It's just not what it use to be.
Best around!!!! – Margaritas are out of this world! Food is world class quality. Service is great. We were visiting from Wi. and will be back for the best Mexican food around!! Even the Dos Equis was great!! Will highly reccomend Casa Fiesta to everyone. Thanks for the great time!

I HAVE to eat here at least once when I come to Albuquerque. I love their green chile stew, which is usually pretty darn spicy (the way I like it) and all the sandwiches. My go-to is the Weck Deck, half, with the green chile stew. I've always wanted to try breakfast, but since I am in town so rarely, I like to stick with what I know. Portions are enormous!
-Lynette R. - Yelp
The food is great with an affordable price. it beats Denny's any time. The service was great and the store has a Hollywood feel to it, just because they had a lot of posters, frames of popular artists from Hollywood posted. My friend ordered a Caesar Salad Wrap, and we decided to share.. but when it came out, it was HUGE. It can make up for serving TWO people instead of just one. Not only the wrap was huge, other plates are huge as well. You'll get your money's worth.

Classic surf filmmaker revisits roots
I don't recall when I first met Jesse Schluntz, but he made an impact on my life and continues to do so. He's a driven artist, a perfectionist, perhaps sent there by that last name which doesn't set quite right on the tongue — Schluntz, a sound like a $2 six pack left in the sun and shaken — a name that, no doubt, in the Germanic languages, translates into some water-based verb.
He was in high school when I first began seeing him around, too big to be a standout in the usually small North County waves, but far above average at his chosen activity when the surf passed overhead.
It was there, at San Dieguito Academy, that young Schluntz began making surf films with funky video cameras of the local standouts in the area. "Western Promise" premiered in the plush San Dieguito gym, where, for a buck you could view local boys Seth Elmer, Todd Martin, Sean Haggar and Chris Cote who filled the screen as riotous hoots filled the empty spaces and the sounds of pure pleasure broke forth from the back rows, compliments of the house.
Next up, the "TearDevils" series provided a bizarre marriage of surfing and heavy metal horrors where arms extended from the necks of zombie surfers, wipeouts were accomplished at gunpoint and saltwater mixed with blood as the undisputed Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, hosted the best surf horror show of all time.
It was the thought of many of us that Schluntz would rise above a somewhat stagnant pack to become the top young filmmaker in the genre, with his good eye for waves and those who rode them. Perhaps it was a change of spiritual direction for Jesse that kept him from those coveted and extended stays in Indo, instead settling into a marriage to folk rocker Rheanna Downey, and an unspoken vow to the editing booth, where Jesse regularly and artistically pieces together images for clients like Fuel TV and Surfer Magazine, as well as projects like "D.O.P.E." the award- winning documentary he helped assemble for me, adding his unique sense of timing to the unfinished pieces I brought to him.
Turning his heart toward faith, Jesse directed one of the top Christian surf films of all time, "The Outsiders," before stepping in and assisting his old friend Bobby Ducharme in his autobiographical film "Can't Keep Me Down," where Bobby recaps his life, before and after being paralyzed in a surfing accident.
Marriage, a sense of purpose and inflation have converged to make Jesse far more serious these days than when he the filmed violent acts like barfing milk for skits in "TearDevils." That said, he has not completely abandoned his inner whacko, and to prove it he has assembled the best of the "TearDevil" trilogy for a one-night stand at his alma mater, The La Paloma Theater. Emceed by one of the original horned creatures himself, the forever entertaining Chris Cote, and with live music provided by Thieves & Liars, "The Best of TearDevils" hits the big screen for one night only— at 7 and 9 p.m. Nov 5.
Advanced tickets for "Best of TearDevils" can be purchased through TransWorldSurf.com Buy tickets early, however — this event will sell out faster than a surfer mounting a wave check camera on his roof.

Should I Apply For A Small Business Credit Card?
by Marco Carbajo, Guest Blogger
- Created: September 20, 2012, 12:38 pm
A small business credit card should always be the credit card you use when making business purchases. Transactions such as paying for gas in a company car, buying office supplies or taking clients out for lunch are all acceptable ways to use a small business credit card.
When it comes to personal credit cards, you should not use them for business expenses. This can potentially jeopardize the protection of the corporate veil because you are co-mingling funds. Did you know corporate veil piercing is the top litigated issue in corporate law today?
That's a scary thought because statistics show that of the 65% of small businesses using credit cards, only 50% of those cards are actually in the company's name.
In addition, each type of small business credit card serves a unique purpose and offers its own array of features, perks and benefits.
A common mistake is applying for a card without first identifying the needs of the business. Will the card be used primarily for air travel, automotive or daily purchases? Do you prefer the option to pay off purchases each month or carry a balance? Will the company be issuing cards to employees or will there be a single cardholder?
These are important questions that give you an indication of the importance in defining purpose. Without purpose you can end up obtaining a small business credit card that costs more and benefits you less.
Some of the benefits of a small business credit card include:
- Easy financing: Rather than waiting for an approval for a loan, lease, or line of credit, a business credit card lets you purchase items immediately. No explanations are required and there are no limitations on what you can purchase with your card. As long as you make the minimum payment each month and don't exceed your limits, it's a great option for quick cash.
- Fast Access to Cash: If your company needs cash fast, then a small business credit card can be a life saver. Typically, the cash advance limit on a business credit card is lower than the spending limit, but the ability to access cash immediately is extremely convenient.
- Track Expenses: Managing your company's expenses becomes much easier when you completely separate your personal and business expenses. With a small business credit card, all your purchases are recorded, making it much easier for your bookkeeper during tax time. Also, most business credit cards will issue year-end statements that categorize your annual expenses into specific categories.
- Control and Manage Employee Spending: Issuing small business credit cards to employees can offer many tax advantages. However, it is important to select a card that offers you the ability to control spending and set limits.
- Business Perks: Business credit cards offer a variety of benefits for companies such as travel assistance, purchase protection, cash back rewards and insurance protection.
Many business owners have multiple cards with each one designated for certain purposes. For example, one card for employee expenses, another for business necessities, etc. Either way, it is helpful to have two or three small business credit cards available. Take the time to research, compare cards and reap all the benefits a business credit card has to offer.

I've saved your site into bookmark for future reference. Nice credit cards
tips for any small business owner.
bcobb | Window Shopper | 10/8/2012 - 6:49 pm
alright. When you get the credit card statement, just let the business pay,
by separate check, the charges applicable to the business. Then pay with a
personal check the charges applicable to the individual. When you're new in
business, it might not be possible to get a separate credit account in the
business name only.
