From fly-fishing to kayaking to whitewater rafting, Endless River Adventures keeps aquatic adrenaline junkies fixed with daily river tours, boating equipment rentals, and regularly scheduled international trips. The local staff of multi-talented water buffs coordinate full- and half-day tours down the Nantahala, Ocoee, and Cheoah rivers, allowing clients to opt for guided or unguided expeditions depending on their level of experience and fluency in turtle. Mindful of the growing scarcity of natural splendor, Endless River Adventures participates in a number of eco-friendly efforts that support Nantahala Gorge and endangered waterways overseas.
The Nantahala River rushes through Class II rapids and higher, but it also runs through the stories of the countless people who've dared its churning waters and tumbling falls. One such story centers on Steven and Sue, who met at a Hendersonville summer camp and soon fell in love with each other and the Smoky Mountain air. Eight years later, the Matzes sold off the trappings of corporate-Atlanta life and founded Adventurous Fast Rivers Rafting with their two children, four dogs, and more than a dozen wilderness-loving employees.
These instructors—certified in First Aid and CPR—ready groups for each guided or unguided exploration by teaching proper raft and boat control, as well as describing techniques for crew coordination. A hand-painted map points out routes through the Nantahala Gorge that avoid interview-hungry nature documentarians. Adventurers have just as many rafting options as routes, including Aire and Hyside self-bailing inflatable rafts, funyaks, sit-on-top Torrent kayaks, and traditional bucket rafts. After either disembarking at the riverside outpost—recognizable by the tree growing through its center—or preparing for a final plunge down the Nantahala Wesser Falls, river-farers dry off and examine photos taken during the plunge down the Falls. The outdoor picnic area's park-style charcoal grills make it easy to throw a post-river barbecue.
A heavy mist settles over the rolling hills of High Point Farm each morning and slowly dissipates as the sun rises to reveal the arenas where Cindy Thaxton and her staff train horses and riders. The farm, which was established in 1993, spans 35 acres and includes several facilities. In its world-class competitive arenas, Cindy helps develop harmony between her students and the horses while sharing her own passion for dressage, equitation, hunters, and jumpers. A USDF silver and bronze medalist in her own right, Cindy has led six students to silver-medal status. She practices a multidimensional teaching approach, instructing competitive students as well as those with little interest in racing against their horses.
Kim Warner's daughter, Clare, was riding whitewater by age 3, and had advanced to doing it dressage style the following season. The owner of Rafting With My Kids, Warner has safely launched families since 1988, when she and her outfitters turned their condo in Asheville into a base camp for trips down the Tuckasegee, Green, and French Broad rivers. Now in its 24th season, a group of CPR- and first-aid-certified guides lead exhilarating two-hour voyages exclusively on the Tuckasegee River. Their gear includes lifejackets designed specifically for kids, enabling adventurers as young as 4 to pile into inflatable rafts with a guardian and older kids the freedom to venture out in two-person duckies. The water is only 3–5 feet deep on average and, as Warner puts it on the business's website, the rapids are not "too hardcore." Each guide carries a cell phone and a first-aid kit, as well as light snacks of cookies and peanut-butter or cheese crackers to keep rafters energized.
Georgia Aquatic Center keeps amphibious folks well hydrated with four pools specifically designed for fun and fitness. Catering to the young, the young at heart, and recently switched Freaky Friday victims, the outdoor beach and slide pools boast easy-access ramped entry, three tube slides, an ever-sprinkling sprayer, and a splashy manmade waterfall. Indoors, the competitive and aerobics pools are tailored to lap swimmers and lesson takers, maintaining a constantly balmy temperature of 82–85 degrees. These temperature-controlled oases can also be rented out for birthday parties regardless of the season, and provide a training ground for swim teams, stroke-and-turn clinics, and lifeguard training.
As matriarch of the equestrian-loving McCarty family, Dixie McCarty invites visitors to Heart of Dixie Farms to share the fun of horseback riding through lessons and trail rides. When not teaching at the farm, she teaches agriculture at the middle-school level, and lends each of her lessons a considerate yet authoritative tone. Instruction covers riding disciplines ranging from Western and English pleasure to the basics of timed events, which might include barrel racing. Students can take their newly acquired skills from the 220'x90' sand arena to the farm's network of shaded trails or nearby Watson Mill Bridge State Park.

Christmas Tree Farms Spreading Cheer in Wiregrass
By: Megan Hunter
Updated: December 10, 2012
It's the time of year when we gather around the Christmas tree and say thanks. For Mary Johnson and her family each tree is a blessing in itself.
"Some (tree farmers) are not having a good season, but were just a little farm so we are blessed and very thankful," said Johnson who,along with her family, owns the Back Home Tree Farm in Cottonwood.
The Johnson's have spent the last fifteen years raising Christmas trees and have seen ups and downs each year in sales. However, this year is different because many families are purchasing live Christmas trees again despite a tough economy.
"We try to keep the prices low so that everybody that wants a tree can afford a tree," said Johnson. "But as with any tough economy and any industry, it affects Christmas trees."
For The Back Home Tree Farm, this year has been particularly successful. Johnson said they started to sell the trees the first of November--earlier than ever before. It takes four years for one Fraser Fir to harvest, and lots of sweat equity from the Johnson's. "You don't just plant them and they pop up into a Christmas tree--no, no," said Johnson.
Each tree is sent home to a new family with love--and plenty of Christmas cheer.

Taco Bell is the latest restaurant chain to acknowledge that its food has been adulterated with horse meat, yanking a variety of ground beef products from its three British outlets and issuing an apology to its patrons Friday.
In a statement, Taco Bell said, "our domestic restaurants have not been, and will not be, impacted because we do not use any meat from Europe. We stand for quality and we use 100% premium beef. Like all beef in the United States, ours is USDA inspected and then passes our own 20 quality checkpoints."
Meanwhile, in Iceland, a food official said his team had found a beef product from a local producer that contained no meat at all.
Chief meat inspector Kjartan Hreinsson said a brand of beef pie found at a Reykjavik supermarket had "no mammalian DNA."
"That was the peculiar thing," he said. "It was labeled as beef pie, so it should be beef pie."
It should be, but across Europe meat labeled as beef has been found to be contaminated with horse - from frozen food at supermarkets to fast food in restaurants and even school and hospital meals.
Authorities say the fraudulent labeling poses no health risk, but the scandal has drawn attention to the complex supply chains behind processed meat products.
Thousands of products have been tested, and found that contamination is relatively rare. Britain's Food Standards Agency said Friday that of more than 5,400 products tested in Britain, more than 99 percent were clear of horse. Still, a steady drumbeat of brands found to contain horse meat has kept the issue in the headlines. Taco Bell joins a long list of food providers - Nestle, Burger King, Tesco, Birds Eye, Findus and even Ikea - that have had to remove products amid horse meat revelations.
British authorities said Friday that horse DNA had also been found in Birds Eye spaghetti Bolognese and beef lasagna and spicy minced beef skewers from catering company Brakes, which supplies pubs and the House of Commons Food Service.
In a statement, Taco Bell owner Yum Brands Inc. said: "We apologize to our customers and take this matter very seriously as food quality is our highest priority."

iCIMS Continues Global Expansion; WilliamsF1 Chooses iCIMS' Talent Platform to Streamline Hiring Management Processes
World-Leading Formula One Racing Team to Implement Industry's #1 Ranked Applicant Tracking Solution
August 23, 2005 Hazlet, NJ and Grove, England - iCIMS, a leading provider of web-based Hiring Management Solutions, announced today that WilliamsF1 has selected iCIMS' Talent Platform to automate the evolving recruitment initiatives within the organization's international business units. iCIMS' suite of solutions will be implemented to streamline the Formula One racing team's Human Resource processes. WilliamsF1 is just the latest addition to iCIMS growing list of clients who take advantage of the Talent Platform internationally to improve their talent management efforts.
WilliamsF1 is one of the leading Formula One racing teams in the world, with 16 Formula One World Championship titles to its name. Based in Grove, England, WilliamsF1 was formed in 1977 by Frank Williams and Patrick Head and has found continued success over decades of racing.
To support the growing interest in Formula One racing, WilliamsF1 has selected iCIMS' Applicant Tracking Solution to improve the sourcing, review, and hiring of potential employees across the globe. iCIMS will also allow the organization to more effectively handle its Human Resource processes, while receiving a tangible ROI, since the online system helps corporations to reduce their Time-to-Fill, as well as Cost-per-Hire. The implementation of iCIMS' Talent Platform will help WilliamsF1 gain a competitive advantage, as it will better position the organization to attract, evaluate, and hire the best possible talent in the industry in a shorter period of time and at a lower cost than its competitors.
"As a global organization, we recognize the value of efficiency in talent management," says Alex Burns, WilliamsF1's Chief Operating Officer. "Formula One racing is becoming increasingly popular around the world, and as a result, our group needs to address the growing demand for employment within the industry. Additionally, as the popularity of the sport increases, we need to attract leading talent quickly, easily, and efficiently in order to remain a step above our competition," Burns said. Burns continues, "After an extensive evaluation of solutions, we've determined that iCIMS' Talent Platform is the solution that puts us in the best position to win this race for talent."
WilliamsF1 is just one of a rapidly growing list of international corporations who have turned to iCIMS for help in addressing their global recruitment challenges. iCIMS' roster currently includes over 250 clients worldwide, representing the second largest customer base in the Industry. "We are enthusiastic about this partnership with WilliamsF1," said Colin Day, President and CEO of iCIMS. "Our work with WilliamsF1 further validates the growing adoption of our recruitment solutions by the international community. The signing also underscores the flexibility of iCIMS to address the needs of all corporations, regardless of Industry. WilliamsF1 has a reputation for excellence out on the track and we look forward to helping them further that message through their ongoing employment initiatives."
About WilliamsF1:
WilliamsF1 is one of the world's leading Formula One teams. Formed in 1977 by Frank Williams and Patrick Head, the company has secured 16 FIA Formula One World Championship titles. Nine of these titles have been won in the Constructors' Championship in association with Cosworth, Honda and Renault. The remaining seven titles are Driver's Championships, won with Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve. In 2000, WilliamsF1 signed a multi-year agreement with BMW AG, and to date the BMW WilliamsF1 Team partnership has yielded nine GP victories.
Today WilliamsF1 employs around 500 personnel at a 40ha technology campus based in the heart of the UK's 'Motorsport Valley' in rural Oxfordshire. The company's core competencies are the design and manufacture of Formula One racecars, and the deployment of this expertise in running the team's entries into the Grands Prix each season.
Away from the race track, WilliamsF1 has grown into a significant international business over a quarter of a century, and its achievements earned its founder, Frank Williams, a knighthood in the 1999 New Year's Honours List to augment France's highest decoration, the Legion d'Honneur. Corporately, WilliamsF1 has also been awarded two Queen's Awards for Export Achievement, and is today recognised as one of the most enduring and successful organisations in global sport.
The company's business model is relatively unique. WilliamsF1 is one of the very few wholly independent Formula One teams and its income is largely derived from sponsorship. Supplementing this are a number of secondary income streams, including an international business and conferencing facility at the company's Grove HQ, with an extensive interactive museum tracing twenty five years of success in Formula One.

Nearly $650 million in bonds sold to help Colo. unemployment insurance fund
"This bond issue will reduce unemployment insurance costs to employers while simultaneously maintaining the level of benefits available to Colorado's unemployed workers," Gov. John Hickenlooper said in a statement. "Today's announcement is a good example of how pursuing efficiency and effectiveness in government can help create a more business-friendly environment."
Colorado employers pay into the state Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, which has struggled for financial stability since the recession of 2002, causing employers to be hit with extra surcharges. The recession of 2008 worsened the problem, and the fund's negative balance reached an excess of $600 million.
The bond issue, which took place last week, totaled $640 million in proceeds. The bonds were sold through the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority in a sale made possible through the passage of legislation sponsored by Reps. Larry Liston and Daniel Pabon and Sen. Cheri Jahn.
The administration said the bonds will be repaid by businesses over time, and the costs to Colorado businesses will be significantly lower than if the fund were allowed to continue to run at a negative balance.
A fact sheet about the changes has been created by the state and is available at www.coloradoui.gov.

T's editor picks the fairest of them all from the spring 2013 couture collections.
Beyond the slush in the Tuileries near Jacques Wirtz's cloud-shaped hedges radiating from the Louvre was the Christian Dior tent, with a mazelike runway planted with box hedges and winter aspens for the designer Raf Simons by Martin Wirtz (son of the now-retired Jacques). Models rose up from the greenery, like flowers in spring. Spring was the theme. And the theme was pure: lovely soft colors, embroidered flowers and colored tights blending into stilettos on stemlike legs. Here, Mr. Simons mixes his minimal shapes with his signature puffed back silhouette (talk about a bustle in your hedgerow). It can't be easy to be a minimalist doing couture, but a clean silhouette with luscious details is the way of Dior and of Raf Simons, both.

Fire crews took to the air Friday morning, using air tankers and water-dropping helicopters to snuff out what remains of the 311-acre river bottom fire in between Riverside and Jurupa Valley.
While the flames and plumes of smoke have subsided, fire crews were cautious to get a stranglehold on the blaze Friday before predicted warmer temperatures and high winds kicked up trouble.
A high-wind advisory was issued through 4 p.m. Friday afternoon, warning of temperatures reaching 85 degrees gusts of up to 35 mph in Riverside and throughout the Inland area. So far, the winds have remained calm.
About 200 firefighters continued to mop up the blaze and douse hot spots in the Santa Ana river bottom, dense with brush and towering palm trees. By 11 a.m., the Jurupa Fire was listed as 40 percent contained.
Firefighters revised the total acreage from 200 acres to 311 total acres burned as of noon. They fire hasn't grown since sunrise, but it gives a more accurate map of the fire's footprint, beginning Thursday night.
"If that wind picks up, the fire could take off and start burning again," Cal Fire Engineer Greg Birchfield. "The weather's going to be huge for us."
Other fire crews continued to keep watch on Riverside city streets Friday with hose lines for structure protection, although most of the threat has subsided and voluntary evacuation orders were lifted.
A quarter-mile from the river bottom in the city of Riverside, Rick Mullins was still assessing the fire damage to his home.
Shortly before 9 p.m., embers blowing from the Jurupa Fire landed on his RV canopy and engulfed his Weekend Warrior RV in flames. The fire quickly licked at his home and blackened the side of his house and his roof.
Yellow fire caution tape surrounded his front yard as he sifted through the scorched contents of the RV.
"It's not that far away," Mullins said. "Eight houses around here caught on fire. The fire department put out three of them and we were fighting the fire until the fire department got here."
Closer to the Santa Ana River bike trail, some residents lined the street along Grassy Trail Drive.
Joe Varga, 46, saw smoke near his house when he came home about 5 p.m. Thursday. As he watched the river bottom burn, the wind pushed the blaze closer. He watched palm trees ignite, one by one, until flames were almost to his backyard.
Though he's used to seasonal fires in the river bottom during the past 12 years, this was the first time he thought of evacuating.
"I think this was the closest it has ever gotten to us," Varga said. "I wasn't too scared with the firemen out front, but we were thinking of maybe getting out of here."
When the flames climbed to within 50 yards of his home, just on the other end of the bike trail, Varga and his family were preparing to leave.
He first packed his drum set and other family valuables while his son grabbed a hose to keep the fire at bay. Another son, who has severe asthma, had to go inside after he was overcome with smoke.
Two towering palm trees in he back of his home ignited and dropped flaming embers on top of his roof.
Joined by firefighters, Varga had three hoses running in the backyard. Neighbors helped throw burning palm fronds into their swimming pool.
"When those palm tress go up, they're like Roman Candles," Varga said. "For the winter, it was a pretty crazy fire."
Firefighters gained major ground this morning on a 200-acre fire early Friday, March 1, after flames torched the Santa Ana river bottom in Jurupa Valley.
As winds subsided and crews circled the blaze, much of the brush-fueled fire that danced dangerously close to homes laid down overnight.
The fire was officially listed at 30 percent contained.
Air crews may resume dropping water over hot spots, but it appears the forward spear of the fire has been halted.The fire reached about a half-mile away from the riverbed and splashed embers on subdivision homes in Riverside.
Rick Mullins, who lives about a quarter-mile away off Jurupa and Streeter avenues, said embers blew from the Jurupa Valley fire into his neighborhood. Eight homes on his block were sparked briefly by flying embers, though Mullins may have received the worst of it.
Embers landed on the awning of his RV and engulfed the Weekend Warrior RV in flames. His house was saved although slightly blackened near the roof. On Friday morning, fire caution tape cordoned off his front yard.
"I was just trying to save my house," Mullins said.
Fire crews were cutting containment lines around the blaze from Riverside through Jurupa Valley. All voluntary evacuation orders were lifted. The blaze destroyed one home and one outbuilding Thursday night. All other homes were protected and no injuries were reported.
Jurupa Unified School District Superintendent reported that all Jurupa school would be open today although principals will be monitoring air quality to assure that its safe for children to play outside during recess.
"There's a lot of smoke so we'll be monitoring the situation all day," Duchon said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, though downed power lines were reported in the area.
Power was also restored before 4 a.m. to more than 1,800 residents in Riverside after city public utility officials had to enact a sweeping blackout due to firefighter safety.
The orange glow of flames Thursday evening were replaced early Friday morning with a cloud of smoke from the smoldering ashes of the river bottom.
Before dawn a pair of firefighters stood next to a solitary burning piece of lumber to keep warm as they surveyed the charred forestland. Activity started to kick up along with the sunrise while crews sprayed burning trees with hose lines and chopped at ember-laden wood with axes.
Crews are counting on the tranquil morning conditions to gain the upper hand and on the blaze before temperatures rise Friday afternoon, accompanied by stronger winds Friday night.
Fire crews worked through the night to gain ground on a fast-moving fire in the Santa Ana River bottom that set palm trees and brush aflame, throwing off sky-high embers that forced evacuations in Riverside and may have sparked a home fire, officials said.
As of 5 a.m. Friday, March 1, the 200-acre Jurupa Fire was 30 percent contained. Crews were eager to increase control of the blaze before winds were expected to kick up later in the day.
The fire broke out about 4:45 p.m. Thursday near Rio Road and Calle Hermosa, at the south end of Rancho Jurupa Park. More than 200 firefighters battled the wind-driven flames, which had charred 150 to 175 acres within four hours and continued to burn into the night, Cal Fire Division Chief Tony Mecham said.
"The riverbottom here is very tough to access, and even though we are in the middle of winter, the fuel is very dry," he said.
Countless spots of orange flames snaked around the area west and south of Mount Rubidoux, consuming dry vegetation, power poles and other fuel in its path. Palm trees lit up like torches as fire burned both sides of the Santa Ana River.
About a quarter-mile south of the Jurupa Fire, a travel trailer burned unchecked for several minutes before a helicopter dropped water onto the flames. The fire spread to the eaves of a home on the property at Conestoga and Goldenrod lanes. Fire officials could not confirm whether the two fires were related.
Riverside residents Johnny Smith and David Navarro were driving by when they saw smoke and the trailer engulfed in flames.
View Jurupa Fire in a larger map
"Propane tanks went off," Smith said, describing the sound like explosions. "It was like four of them."
Flames as high as 20 feet could be seen two blocks away, at Nichols Park.
The primary blaze was 20 percent under control as winds calmed and changed direction, blowing flames parallel to the river bottom, not toward homes. Light winds were expected until sunrise Friday, and then winds of 25-35 mph were forecast through Saturday afternoon, Cal Fire Capt. Lucas Spelman said.
Mandatory evacuations were ordered about 7:30 p.m. on Greenbrier Drive, Grassy Trail Drive and Rio Rancho Way in Riverside, where the fire crawled especially close to homes, Spelman said. An evacuation center for residents was set up at Nichols Park, 5505 Dewey Ave., though few took advantage of it.
Within two hours, the evacuation was downgraded to voluntary and residents were allowed to return to their homes.
Crews lit backfires to protect the Riverside bike trail and nearby homes.
About 2,000 homes were without power, which would not be restored before daylight, said David Wright, general manager of Riverside Public Utilities. Some lines were burned and others were de-energized at the request of firefighters.
The affected circuit runs the length of the city from Jurupa to about 12th Street in downtown Riverside, according to a utility operator.
Residents in the Jurupa Valley neighborhood on Rio Road, which features several horse properties, watched helplessly from their yards.
Daniel and Linda Gallegos, who were among about five campers at Rancho Jurupa Park, said the fire "just took off" in dry brush off Rio Road. It was "very intense" at the start, Linda Gallegos said, throwing up massive clouds of black smoke.
"It went up quick," she said. "It was crazy."
Mark Hager, another camper watching the fire, said he was at work in San Diego when his wife, Tracey, called about the fire from their trailer.
"I told her to take the pictures, get your clothes and get out," Hager said.
Numerous agencies responded to help, including crews from Riverside, Cal Fire, Corona, Murrieta, Orange County and the Morongo and Pechanga tribes. In all, there were more than two dozen fire engines, six inmate camp crews, a bulldozer and a water dropping helicopter on scene.
Fires in the riverbottom are not unusual, though Thursday's blaze was among the largest.
In May 1997, 320 acres burned and a house was destroyed in an arson fire that started in the riverbottom at the end of Rubidoux Avenue. That fire also was driven by wind.
In April 2002, gusty winds and unseasonably hot temperatures kindled a fire that scorched about 105 acres and threatened as many as 20 homes near the riverbed.

The Mets have fired Tony Bernazard, the team's vice president for player development. General Manager Omar Minaya announced the decision at a news conference Monday afternoon.
Last week, the Mets looked into accusations that Bernazard recently had angry confrontations with several people in the organization. According to multiple reports, he argued with closer Francisco Rodriguez on a team bus in Atlanta; challenged members of the Mets' Class AA Binghamton affiliate to a fistfight; and berated a team employee over a seating arrangement at Citi Field.
The news conference took a strange twist when Minaya said he "scuffled" with the first published reports, by Adam Rubin, the beat writer for The Daily News, because, he said, Rubin had lobbied him and others in the Mets organization for a job in player development.
Rubin said later that he was flabbergasted by the remark, saying he thought Minaya was accusing him of "taking down" Bernazard because he wanted his job. "I asked, How do you go about getting a job in baseball? That's the extent of it," Rubin said in a televised interview after the news conference.
"I don't know how I can cover the team now," he added.
Minaya said the team's inquiry into Bernazard began even before the first report was published Wednesday by The Daily News. He said that the published reports expedited the investigation and that the franchise's human resources department presented him with a report Sunday. He said the two men met later Sunday to talk about what the investigation found.
"I was surprised by some of the things that were in the report — how could I not be?" Minaya said.
Bernazard, reached on his cellphone before the news conference, confirmed that he had been dismissed but declined to comment further.

There's certainly a lot of hype out there about big data. As I previously wrote, some of it is indeed hype, but there are still many legitimate big data cases - I saw a great example during my last business trip. Hadoop certainly plays a key role in the big data revolution, so all business intelligence (BI) vendors are jumping on the bandwagon and saying that they integrate with Hadoop. But what does that really mean? First of all, Hadoop is not a single entity; it's a conglomeration of multiple projects, each addressing a certain niche within the Hadoop ecosystem, such as data access, data integration, DBMS, system management, reporting, analytics, data exploration, and much much more. To lift the veil of hype, I recommend that you ask your BI vendors the following questions
As you can see, you really need to peel back a few layers of the onion before you can confirm that your BI vendor REALLY integrates with Hadoop.
Curious to hear from our readers if I missed anything.
the questions are good. Looking at it from a management perspective, I would have appreciated some context why to ask the specific questions. E.g. what Hadoop distribution are you offering? Is this a cost driver? Is there an architecture limitations in one distro or the other? Security concerns?
Hi, Alex, thanks for the post. These are all Hadoop and Hadoop commercial distribution questions, not BI/Hadoop integration questions, which is the only point I am trying to address here.
Hadoop keeps track of where the data resides ,there are multiple copy stores, data stored on a server.
very very good checklist!!!
I have small comment for (7)
"(7) Can you access NoSQL Hadoop data? Which NoSQL DBMS? HBase, Casandra? Since your queries are mostly based on SQL or MDX, how do you access these key value stores? If yes, please let me know what use cases you have for BI using NoSQL, as I am not aware of any. "
this is not exactly correct, if I ignore you misspelled Cassandra and the fact that Cassandra is mostly targeting CFS
1. HBase is used for OLAP, if you would attend last HBaseCon you would see Adobe and their use cases.
2. There are few companies (still in stealth mode) which introduced this capability, I saw a demo. It is promising.
In general I agree, these stores are not in OLAP space, but can solve some OLAP use cases
Thanks very much for the comments. Would love to see those NoSQL use cases as they go public or just want to share some info with me under NDA. What's CFS?
CFS = Cassandra File System http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/cassandra-file-system-design
here is Adobe use case for OLAP, they do not have ODBC/JDBC or SQL interface http://www.hbasecon.com/sessions/low-latency-olap-with-hbase/
the rest... let's wait for HadoopWorld with the details ;-)
is believed to have this functionality - i am yet to vet this -but may be worth while to check
Boris -
This is a great topic that has been glossed over for too long. There is so much hype around connecting BI tools to Hadoop without any depth on the performance this will provide, lack of functionality, or if the BI tool is simply ingesting data from Hadoop and bringing it into a cache (and what scale/limitations may be associated with that).
Have you seen anyone create a list/matrix comparing the various BI toolsets, how they connect (e.g., via Hive), what functionality limitations there may be for machine-generated SQL, etc.?
It would also be interesting to see how BI vendors are looking at capabilities like Hadoop Catalog (HCatalog) to provide better access to metadata about how/where data is stored across various Hadoop projects.
(shameless plug warning) - Teradata Aster announced new connectivity to Hadoop data via Aster SQL-H ( http://www.asterdata.com/sqlh/ ) which leverage the metadata library of HCatalog to provide views and on-the-fly access to Hadoop data as if it's just another table to the SQL analyst or BI tool. We do this WITHOUT going through Hive translation which we think is a cleaner approach.
That aside, I think a more in-depth analysis would be a great topic for a research report if it doesn't already exist, with specific guidance on the pro's/con's of different techniques.
Thanks - Steve
Good point about HCatalog - I missed that one and now added it as an extra question to the blog. No, I am not aware of anyone doing that kind of a point-by-point comparison. I plan to, but can't commit to a specific time.
We Teradata Aster integrate with HCatalog. That is a project that customers will need to consider.
learn more: www.asterdata.com/sqlh
Could any expertise provide me with the steps to connect Hadoop Hive 0.8 to SAP BI 4.0, Your invaluable information to this request would be of a great help to me.
Boris, this is a great list. One thing I might add, however, is the collection issue. Many Big Data problems are new and the collection or instrumentation problem is every bit as challenging as the processing and consumption problems. So, I would ask, how does data get ingested into these solutions. Do you have to build a giant infrastructure to capture data and feed Hadoop? Can you trickle data in? Or is it a batch process? Does it require any additional tools or implementation? Can it be fed by a simple Restful API? Can it be fed directly from source applications, item by item? or do you have to create large batch infrastructure to load? I think the most successful Big Data solutions to date have been ones that either implicitly solved the data collection issue, or where that issue was largely already solved.
Just some thoughts...
Good point - adding a question to the list: how do you help your client get data into Hadoop files in the first place...

At the end of June I was in York for a few days doing research, arriving on a Sunday morning to spend the day getting oriented (priority #1: non-touristy sources of food) and exploring the city. Mon-Wed were devoted to archival research with some lunch breaks that included enormous ice cream cones and basking in the garden next to the local museum. The museum was my favorite attraction because the medieval life exhibit included a clump of dirty hair under plexiglas with absolutely no explanation other than a sign reading 'HAIR!'
One afternoon I had some free time and wandered into a nice antiques shop where I found, amongst Roman coins and Norman belt buckles, what was described as a 13th-14th century bone dip pen found in the Thames. It was really lovely—very smooth with a creamy, light brown patina. One end was carved and polished into a simple nib shape and the other end left with the joint intact. It was also slightly curved and fit very naturally into my hand. I wasn't quite sure about it, though, because I'd never heard of a bone dip pen, only quill and reed. It also didn't have a groove to hold ink, so I thought it might actually be a stylus for wax tablets. But it was very inexpensive (I can imagine the antique dealer's thought process: 'This is really cool. But who on earth is looking for an old bone dip pen? Better price it low or it'll never move.' He'd definitely never met me.) so I bought it, thinking that if it turned out to just be an old broken bone I wouldn't be out much, but if it was authentic I'd have gotten a deal on something really special that's related to my career. After all, what are the odds I'd ever run across something similar?
Back at home I got in touch with Alan Cole of the Museum of Writing, who had given me quill pen cutting lessons in December. He took a look at my pen and agreed that the antique shop's analysis was probably correct, even though there was no groove for ink. Wax styli are usually made with a different point, and the Museum of Writing contains Roman and medieval pens in the same shape that are made of other materials such as metal, and they also lack a groove. But he's never seen anything comparable to mine made from bone. While he couldn't verify the date, he said that there was no reason to think it wasn't medieval, or potentially older. (In the shop it was grouped with other medieval items found at the same time in the river, so I assume that was how it was dated.) While there's the possibility it could be some other artifact, neither of us could think of anything really similar. The closest thing would be a medieval hairpin, but those are usually carved solidly with more tapering points.
So here are some photos, and you can see my other pictures from York here.

Census to release poverty numbers showing America likely back at 1965 levels
State of Opportunity is covering tomorrow's announcement of poverty estimates by the Census Bureau. The numbers will show how many Americans lived in poverty during 2011.
It's expected that the report will demonstrate that proportionally, as many people live in poverty around the country now as in 1965 ( the year the government first developed the thresholds we know as the "poverty line").
Over the past decade there have more children living in poverty, and more who can be classified as low-income.
Recent statistics put the number of low-income kids living in Michigan at a whopping 42 percent.
For more on these numbers and for continuing coverage of the Census figures visit State of Opportunity.

Lake County Offers Citizen Police Academy
Apply by Feb. 15 to attend this year's 10-week program.
The Lake County Sheriff's Department will hold its next Citizen Police Academy course starting March 7. Interested residents are invited to apply to the program, which will provide a first-hand look at how the office of Sheriff Mark Curran maintains law and order for the residents of Lake County.
The academy is a 10-week program with classes running approximately three hours each on Thursday evenings. The class begins at 6:30 p.m. each evening.
Instruction is provided by sworn deputies and civilians in their field of expertise and is designed to provide a hands-on experience. Training will take place at the various Sheriff's Office facilities throughout the county, including the Lake County Courthouse and Lake County Jail located in Waukegan, as well as the Highway Patrol Division located in Libertyville.
Academy students will graduate on May 23.
The Citizen Police Academy is offered free to Lake County residents. Participants must be 21 years of age or older, be of good moral character and have no felony convictions.
Applications are available at the Lake County Sheriff's Administration Office located at 25 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Waukegan or on the Lake County website. Interested residents must apply by Feb. 15. For further information, call Deputy Roman Buchberger at (847) 377-4211.
— Information provided by the Lake County Sheriff's office.

WTF is this, some kind of "junior deputy" program?
12:20 pm on Wednesday, January 30, 2013
No, it is what is explained in the article. It is meant for interested citizens to learn more about the Sheriff's office and how they conduct their work. You can read about it on their web site. This is very common. Deerfield has a citizens police academy though they have not conducted a program in a while that I have seen. Even the FBI has a similar program, which if you remember was discussed during the whole Petraeus scandal. Jill Kelley met her FBI "friend" during their program. The FBI one takes a lot more connections to participate in than Lake County, I would bet.
12:48 pm on Wednesday, January 30, 2013
And you have to go to classes for hours and hours? Oh that sounds like a barrel of entertainment and fun.
I did read "their web site". I also read their application and that sure does seem like a lot of b.s. for Lake County tax paying citizens to need references to learn what their law enforcement does to earn their keep. You call it what you want, it's still nothing more than a junior deputy program. LOL

Hey Eva-fellows! What's up?
Great news here, I'm glad to announce that our first short movie, DAYDREAM, has reached 1000+ views since a couple of days! We are really happy and proud for it, we can't wait to finish our second work!
In the meantime I had the chance to collaborate with an amazing animator, Johannes Matsson from Sweden: I made some nice homophonic sound design on his amazing new character animation called SPACEMAN. It was REALLY fun doing it! Really reminds me of Pixar's Wall-E, one of my favorite animation movies! And I was not the only one from Eva to work in it, our buddy LB made a little cameo in it: he actually is the voice of the Spaceman himself!
Hope you like our latest collaboration!

HP Notebook: The recovery partition could not be found
Posted 16 August 2010 - 12:09 PM
I've made some advances since my last post. I've been able to get F11 to boot into the recovery partition. However, I'm still not able to boot because of the BOOTMGR problem. I think the last issue for me to resolve is to be able to get the recovery partition to boot the winre.wim file. I'm new at this kind of thing and still haven't figured out how to boot the wim image. I've been thinking that maybe the best strategy is to mount the image and copy the files over to the recovery partition and then use BCD to start windows recovery environment.
Any thoughts? As I said, I'm very new and don't have good grasp of most of this stuff yet so any insight will be greatly appreciated.

It would seem to me far easier to use properly documented available tools instead.
Besides the Terabyte MBR, there is mbldr, which you may want to try, some initial reference is here:
Posted 17 August 2010 - 09:18 AM
For some strange reason, you can actually hide an OS volume, using either MBR, diskpart or other tools, and you can STILL actually start booting into the OS! I'm not sure why this happens. Theoretically, if the volume is hidden you should get a PXE prompt or the standard "no bootable device found" type message. Instead, the bootloaders on both XP and Vista (didn't try 7, no reason to) will actually start, but then realize their drive type is incompatible and toss you a message. Sometimes it is just this bootmgr message, but I have seen XPe actually pop a BSOD when its volume wasn't set to the proper ID.
So when I made my own recovery partition using Terrabyte's MBR program, I had to make sure that the OS volume would get set as active after booting into the recovery partition, so that on a reboot you wouldn't get these types of errors.

i'm trying to get through all 11 pages, but there is to many post and links that are around my problem, so maybe someone may point me to right pages, post etc. (a straight away answer would be handy as well)
so, the problem is:
1. it's not my laptop (hp pavilion, xp MCE) so I don't know what was installed/run.
2. I'm trying to do full recovery to factory settings
3. pc recovery from windows gives "recovery part could not be found" message
4. f11 starts pc recovery that is trying to make recovery part (it needs cd/DVD disks that weren't done)
5. f8 has no recovery option
6. making recovery part active changes nothing (normal boot to xp)
7. recovery part is visible, I made everything visible on partition using attrib.
any help?
Posted 13 May 2011 - 04:10 AM
You were NOT supposed to make partition active, using attrib, etc.
The "partition cannot be found" means, strangely enough , that the partition has not been found (this can happen for a number of reasons, among which somethng - even accidental that changed the partition ID or a "tag" file in it or it's volume name, or whatever).
Since you semingly CAN make the CD/DVD,s do them, NOW, it may be your last and ONLY possibility.
Posted 13 May 2011 - 04:38 AM
my english is bad
I CAN'T make cd/DVD
pc recovery suggests to make recovery partiotion FROM cd/DVD (and IS expecting media to be inserted to cd drive)
partition was VISIBLE, only files, dirs were hidden.
i've only unhidden files/dirs on visible partition.
seems like ordering cd is my only option?
is this problem with recovery present on newer hp as well?
so first thing after opening box should be making recovery cd/dvd 'cos recovery partition can go south at any time?
Posted 13 May 2011 - 05:47 AM
theOak, on 13 May 2011 - 04:38 AM, said:
Yes, guess why at first boots you get a nagging reminder about making the CD/DVD's? (you know the one that pi§§es you off and that you check to never show again?)
Even better than the above would be to buy PC's that come with either "full" software and OS media or with a pre-made recovery media.
And an even better one would be to make yourself an image of the disk.
Back to your problem:
It is possible that the Recovery partition contents are still "OK" (at least before you changed something in it) but *something* minor - but stil needed - has gone beserk, like the actual MBR that loads the partition or the bootsector of the recovery partition or even a small "tag file" somewhere.
No way to know.
Please note that the OP that started this thread had an HP with Vista installed, yours has XP MCE, they "behave" differently as OS, it is probable that also the recovery system partition uses different versions of the tools or different tools altogether.
A good idea would be if you could start a new thread about your issue.
Since your XP is booting allright, it will be easier to get some info.
Provided that your "XP" drive is C:\ and that the "Recovery partition" is D:\, open a command prompt and run in it:
Compress the resulting file C:\HP_MCE.DIR into a .zip archive and attach the archive to your post.
Additionally get HDhacker:
and use it to backup the MBR (first sector of \\.\PhysicalDrive) and the bootsectors/PBR of partitions C:\ and D:\ (first sector of each \\.\Logicaldrive).
Also add these three files to the .zip archive.
Maybe with this data we can find the "culprit" or find an alternative way to actually start the recovery process.
As said, a good idea would be - if you have this possibility - to make a full, dd-like image of the whole disk (better be safe than sorry) in order to be able, should things go worse that they are, to get back safely to current situation.

jaclaz, on 13 May 2011 - 05:47 AM, said:
There's always been a move to switch to the "do it yourself" method of making the recovery media, but that has been compounded by other things. Most recently, a number of Authorized Replicators had closed up shop, leaving only a handful of ones to choose from. This caused the price per disc to jump up considerably! An example is that the price-per-disc cost went up at least $10. So consider how HP or Dell used to use the model to create model specific recovery discs, the never ending product price war and the increased cost to produce recovery media. You can see why systems are coming out with the "do it yourself" method!

but thank You for answers.
I just found out, that win 7 need ultimate version to switch languages.
great stuff from ms as usual. I wonder why people are not switching to Linux, or buying apple comps.

"He's making promises in my opinion he cannot maintain," said Coppi. "He's promising to cut taxes, the IMU ... and no one knows in which way he can do it."
Cruise ship crooner
Born in Milan in 1936, Berlusconi gave notice early on of his showman side by working as a lounge room crooner aboard a cruise ship to help fund his university tuition -- he studied law.
Various low-level commercial enterprises followed before the fledgling entrepreneur enjoyed his first real success in property development in the late 1960s when he was involved in a project to build Milano Two -- nearly 4,000 flats -- outside Milan.
After amassing a fortune from his property portfolio in the 1970s, he diversified his interests by setting up a TV cable company, Telemilano, and buying two other cable channels in an effort to break the national TV monopoly in Italy. In 1978, these channels were incorporated into his newly formed Fininvest group, which included department stores, insurance companies and even AC Milan -- one of the world's biggest football clubs.
Berlusconi turned his attention to politics in 1993 when he formed the center-right Forza Italia Party and the following year, in a snap election, he won the post of prime minister. However, a dispute with his right-wing coalition partners from the Northern League Party, as well as an indictment for alleged tax fraud, ended Berlusconi's tenure in the job after barely seven months. He was acquitted on appeal in 2000 after the statute of limitations had expired.
After defeat in the 1996 election to his political nemesis, Romano Prodi, he became embroiled in other financial scandals, including a charge of bribing tax inspectors. He denied any wrongdoing and was cleared again on appeal in 2000.
His fortunes turned again in 2001 when he was sworn in as prime minister for a second time. But Prodi -- a former European Commission president -- ended Berlusconi's more successful reign with his center-left Union coalition victory in 2006. At that time, the tycoon had presided over the longest-serving post-war Italian government.
Return to power
Despite having a pacemaker implanted to regulate his heartbeat after he collapsed during a political rally, he refused to slow down. Sporting a hair transplant, cosmetic surgery and a tan, Berlusconi returned to power for a third time in 2008 under the banner of the newly created People of Freedom party.

Hi Wheelez, I recevied the Driver directly from Titleist. I am a long standing original member of Team Titleist and did a commercial and catalog shoot for them at Manchester Lane a few months ago. They were very nice and sent it along as a token of their appreciation. Have to give Mike D a shout out for all of his and the Teams efforts on that one...
See below
Very cool Brian.
Very, Very nice. I have the same hat: wish I had the same driver. Hit 'em where you want 'em.
Thats nice Brian! Love that driver for sure.

Can't say enough for Team Titleist too. Great group of people, and great to work with.

Jay Leno's Garage tests the Aston Martin Vanquish
Canadian-tuxedo-bedecked host falls in love with Aston's halo car
"Denim" Jay Leno had the new Aston Martin Vanquish for his Jay Leno's Garage series on YouTube, and the car matched his shirt -- and pants -- much better than the moss-green version we tested back in October.
The Vanquish costs about $280,000 -- a pittance for Jay, but quite a tab for us regular folks. Fortunately, he compares it favorably to the even more expensive Asont Martin One-77. Jay says he's astounded at the beauty of the Vanquish and remarks that while there might be faster cars and more expensive cars, none do everything as well as the Vanquish.
Jay tests the six-speed-automatic version, as we did. Its 5.9-liter V12 pumps out 565 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. It weighs in with an acceptable grand touring heft of 3,834 pounds.
Once the hood is popped, Jay laughs about how tight the clearances are for the engine, reflecting on the cavernous spaces under hoods of past Astons. The trunk, on the other hand, offers real space for luggage.
Eventually, Jay gets in the damn thing (after 9 minutes) and hits the streets. Of course he loves the sound—as we all do—and talks about the nomenclature of coupes, grand tourers and sports cars.
"It's just a beautiful piece of kinetic sculpture," says Jay. "Everyone should get a chance to drive a car like this."
We agree. Check out our review here.

High school basketball: VASJ's Duane Gibson commits to Evansville
With his college decision having been made, Duane Gibson said it's time to tend to the business at hand.
The senior guard from Villa Angela-St. Joseph on Monday gave his verbal commitment to play basketball at Division I Evansville (Ind.) of the Missouri Valley Conference.
"It feels very good. It takes a lot of pressure off me now," Gibson said. "Now I've got to finish off my grades, get to state and win a championship."
Gibson's announcement is the second in a row for the Vikings, coming on the heels of forward Demonte Flannigan announcing his intentions to play college basketball at Cleveland State.
"There's a lot of pressure on us now, a lot of expectations," Gibson said of him and his VASJ teammates. "People are going to expect a lot of us this year."
A 6-foot-3 guard, Gibson earned second team All-Ohio honors in Division IV last season. He averaged 12 points, eight rebounds and six assists as a junior.
He said his other finalists were Robert Morris and Indiana-Purdue/Fort Wayne. Other offers came from Tennessee-Chattanooga, Bethune-Cookman and Fairmount State.
He received interest from Depaul, Dayton, Iowa, Elon, Drake, Northeastern, New Hampshire and Cleveland State.
His choice, he said, came down to his comfort level with Coach Marty Simmons and the chance to play a significant role from the get-go with the Purple Aces.
"The similarities in the coaches and the school (with those of VASJ)," said Gibson of his reasoning in picking Evansville. "That's what sold me." Continued...
VASJ coach Babe Kwasniak praised Gibson's mature approach to the recruiting process, which included a recent trip to Evansville. Afterwards, Gibson conferred with Babe Kwasniak's father, Tedd, before making his choice.
"There's a kid who has done everything right and has represented our school very well," Kwasniak said. "He's getting a scholarship to a great academic institution and is going to get a top-notch education for free because of a game. He has worked his butt off for this. That's a big deal."
Gibson said he will "most likely" play point guard at Evansville.
"Coach told me I have a chance to start as a guard as long as I work hard for the position," he said.

My husband and I moved to Vilamoura, Portugal in March 2006 having bought four properties which we rented out for holiday bookings. On arrival, we found ourselves having to rent someone else's property as ours were either booked out or awaiting completion!
I entered into a partnerhsip with Susan Mackenzie of Mackenzie Real Estate to form Norton & Mackenzie Management and Rentals and have built this business to the success it is today.
I enjoy helping people to choose the right property for their holidays and try to provide an excellent support service when my clients are here on holiday.
