Hortonworks, a leading contributor to Apache Hadoop, today announced the launch of the Hortonworks Certified Technology Program, designed to help customers choose leading enterprise software that has been tested to integrate with Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP), the only 100-percent open source Apache Hadoop distribution. By certifying technologies, Hortonworks is taking the risk out of the technology selection, thereby accelerating and simplifying customers' big data projects. The Program strengthens and expands the Apache Hadoop ecosystem, while helping to increase the enterprise capabilities of Apache Hadoop.
The Certified Technology Program enables Hortonworks' partners to deliver pre-built and validated Hadoop-based applications, tools and processes that integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise architectures. Certifying their technologies with the only 100-percent open source Apache Hadoop distribution helps their customers make the decision to take advantage of the benefits of Hadoop.
The Program ensures the interoperability of Hadoop-based enterprise technologies, thereby easing big data decision-making. With Hortonworks and its ecosystem of certified technology partners, enterprises can deploy leading big data solutions with tested and validated integrations. Hortonworks Technology Partners that are certified with Hortonworks Data Platform include (but not limited to) Attunity, Datameer, Karmasphere, MarkLogic, Microsoft, NetApp, Pentaho, Simba, Splunk, StackIQ, Syncsort, Tableau, Talend and Teradata.
Many technologies are becoming available today that uncover new insights that Hadoop enables. These technologies each play a different part in the data stack – such as enabling new analytics, robust visualizations, easing data movement and increasing big data storage. Customers are faced with selecting these technologies and testing the integration with Hadoop. By providing reference architectures and tested integrations, The Hortonworks Certified Technology Program makes the selection easier for big data architects in the design and execution phases.
Hortonworks Data Platform, powered by Apache Hadoop, is increasingly becoming a core component of enterprise data management systems as it allows organizations to capture, process and share data in any format and at scale. By refining, exploring and enriching this complex information, organizations can uncover customer and operational insights that drive better business decisions.
The certification process involves validating enterprise technologies against integration test cases and reviewing for architectural best practices. The Program delivers a choice of validated technology to help accelerate innovation, simplify decision-making and reduce risk, all while providing a rapid return on investment for organizations deploying Apache Hadoop within the enterprise.
"Backed by Hortonworks Technology Partners, our efforts to deploy an industry-wide Program to certify Apache Hadoop-based interoperability with leading enterprise technologies will enable the community to make Hadoop the next-generation enterprise data management platform," said Herb Cunitz, president of Hortonworks. "More seamless and optimized integration with existing enterprise tools with the Hortonworks Data Platform will enable a viable and stable architecture that meets enterprise needs for big data processing and management."

Don Curry.....What Went Wrong?
I was always impressed by Curry, he was just awesome at his peak, he seemed to have all the tools of the trade...And then some.
The highly respected British commentator Reg Gutteridge described him as a 'Sugar Ray Leonard without the showboating'.
His decline was attributed to him having numerous 'Personal Problems', can anyone shed any light on this matter?
Thanks in advance guys.

Curry fell victim to two timeless boxing nemeses - weight and stardom. The Honeyghan massacre took many by surprise. But the truth is he had been sailing close to the wind for a good eighteen months prior.

Curry was looking at a super fight with Hagler and took his eye off the ball in the "space filler" Honeyghan fight. He was inches away from super stardom and it all slipped through his fingers in one fight against somebody that many considered at the time as an opponent. It is not like he lost to a superstar where he could keep his ego and dignity in tact. Mentally he never seemed to recover and get back into his stride again. This happens to a lot of fighters when they lose. There are some that can come back and some that can't mentally accept a loss.A good example is Pavlik. In stead of knuckling down and facing facts a lot of fighters whinge and whine,blame others lash out turn to drink drugs and generally feel sorry for themselves and go into a downward spiral. Curry seems to have fallen into that category which is a pity as he was a stylish and highly skilled fighter.

At the time I felt Curry fell in love with "The knockout". We've seen it happen many times where a real good boxer starts stopping opponents and leaves the skills behind and falls in love with the ko(see Terry Norris). The old adage "box a puncher and punch a boxer" holds true in most cases. Curry was stopping his opponents easily. Walking in and trying to stop a fighter like Honeyghan was a career changing mistake. Had Curry boxed(ala Starling) his career might have taken a different route.
The other things named here might have also been true but back when Curry was running through opponents I was thinking this.

For me Curry was one of the all-time great Welterweights, it's such a shame his career went into a rapid decline.

That is how I felt. He was on the verge of super historical potentially legendary mega fights with the likes of Hearns, Leanard and Hagler and we never saw them as Honeyghan rough housed, head butted and bludgeoned his way through him. I kind of felt robbed at the time because I felt we were on the verge of some really exciting fights and something special..
Honeyghan did well but did not take off where Curry left off. I had a funny feeling that Honeyghan was all wrong for him and had a strong feeling after his nose was broken that we would never see Curry return to the heights and form he was capable of. Sad really and a waste.

For the very brief time he was on top, Donald Curry was the best fighter I have seen in my 30 years of watching boxing. Do not confuse that with me saying he's the greatest.....

Boston University College of Fine Arts PesentsOut On The Edge: 10th Annual Fall Fringe Festival
Contact: Ellen Carr, 617-353-8783 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Contact: Jean Connaughton, 617-353-7293 | email@example.com
(Boston) – The tenth annual Boston University Fringe Festival, presented by the School of Music's Opera Institute and the School of Theatre, begins October 13 and continues through November 5. This year's festival features five productions that focus on the struggles of humanity and the pressures of society, including two full length plays with music: Arthur Miller's Playing for Time and Tom Stoppard and Andre Previn's Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. In addition, the festival will also feature two short operas – Jules Massenet's La Navarraise and Jorge Martin's Before Night Falls – along with excerpts from Jing Xiang's The Savage Land. All performances will be presented at the Boston University Theatre.
A celebration of unconventional opera and theatre repertoire, the Boston University Fringe Festival brings together artists and audiences for a unique experience, presented by the School of Music's Opera Institute and the School of Theatre. Sharon Daniels, Director of Opera Programs at Boston University and founder of the BU Fringe Festival, created the festival with the goal of cultivating a broader audience for opera. By presenting operas with minimal sets and costumes, bringing artists and audience members together in an intimate performance space, and setting ticket prices at just $7, audiences for the Fringe Festival have continued to grow over the last ten years. The artistic offerings of the festival were enhanced when the School of Theatre joined it in 2003. "The Fringe Festival originally expanded the mission of The Opera Institute by giving students more performance opportunities in a variety of styles," according to Daniels. "At the beginning, opera students and faculty assumed all artistic and technical tasks. Over the last few years, we have been blessed to have theater students assume the design and production responsibilities, and through Jim Petosa's leadership, the Festival has expanded to include full length plays."
Arthur Miller's Playing for Time tells the story of the female prisoners of Auschwitz who survived by playing in the concentration camp's all-female orchestra. Based on the memoir of survivor Fania Fénelon, the work was originally written as a television play in 1980, then later adapted for the stage. The Auschwitz orchestra consisted of musicians with a wide range of skills, including Alma Rosé, a distinguished violinist and leader of the orchestra; Fénelon, a Parisian singer; and cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch. In the play, the women do whatever they can to survive, while facing tremendous moral struggles as they perform the music they love, which their Nazi captors use as work marches for the camp prisoners and entertainment for themselves.
Every Good Boy Deserves Favour is a collaborative piece written by Tom Stoppard with music by André Previn. In a Soviet asylum in 1977, two men – both named Alexander Ivanov – share a cell. While "Ivanov" is a genuine mental patient who conducts an imaginary orchestra throughout the play, "Alexander" has been institutionalized because of his unacceptable political views. Alexander, willing to die for his beliefs, expresses "I have no symptoms, I have opinions," only to be countered with, "Your opinions are your symptoms," by his doctor. To earn his freedom, Alexander must conform to the views of the government and admit his "mental illness." This production is part of the Boston Gulag Project, presented in association with the National Park Service, Amnesty International USA, Harvard University's Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Boston College, and the Boston University Art Gallery.
The Boston University Fringe Festival will also feature two short operas. Set in Spain in 1874, Jules Massenet's La Navarraise traces a woman's tragic quest to be reunited with her lover amidst cruel social constraints and the ravages of war. This powerful story is supported by Massanet's exciting score, which marks the composer's venture into verismo opera. Renowned countertenor Drew Minter will serve as guest director for these six performances.
Jorge Martín's Before Night Falls is based on the memoir of gay Cuban poet and novelist Reinaldo Arenas. The opera follows Arenas's life as a rebel fighter during the Cuban revolution, his miraculous escape from Castro's regime, and his battle with AIDS in the 1980s. Composer Jorge Martín will be in residence to oversee this premiere staging of Act II of his full length opera. Before Night Falls will be directed by New York City Opera Director Beth Greenberg.
The Festival will also incorporate an international element under the leadership of Metropolitan Opera baritone and Boston University alumnus Haijing Fu. Fu will present singers from the International Music Center at Shenyang Conservatory of Music for a special performance of excerpts from Jin Xiang's contemporary Chinese opera The Savage Land, followed by a conversation with the artists.
The Boston University Opera Institute is one of the premier programs of the School of Music. Founded in 1987 by Dean Emerita Phyllis Curtin, the Opera Institute is a non-degree professional training program for the advanced singer preparing for an operatic career. Chosen by special audition, twelve emerging, professional singers are given free tuition and stipends for an innovative two-year residency that provides the crucial transition between student training and professional performance. It also serves as the center of opera training for degree Vocal Performance majors who audition for roles to perform alongside Opera Institute singers. In addition to the Opera Institute certificate program, the School of Music also offers degrees in performance, composition and theory, musicology, music education, collaborative piano, historical performance, as well as artist and performance diplomas.
The Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Theatre, founded in 1954, is one of the country's leading institutions for the study of acting, stage management, design and production, and all aspects of the theatrical profession. Notable School of Theatre alumni include actors Jason Alexander, Michael Chiklis, Geena Davis, Faye Dunaway, Julianne Moore, Brad Oscar, and Alfre Woodard.
The Boston University College of Fine Arts was created in 1954 to bring together the School of Music, the School of Theatre, and the School of Visual Arts. The University's vision was to create a community of artists in a conservatory-style school offering professional training in the arts to both undergraduate and graduate students, complemented by a liberal arts curriculum for undergraduate students. Since those early days, education at the College of Fine Arts has begun on the BU campus and extended into the city of Boston, a rich center of cultural, artistic and intellectual activity.

As of Tuesday, May 13, 2014
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY —A tragedy in DeKalb County Monday is a reminder that hot weather and parked cars can be a deadly mix, especially for young children.
According to media reports, a 2-year-old twin girl died Monday after she apparently got into a parked car that had a door open, closed it and was unable to get out. Her mother had asked a family member to watch her while she took the heat stroke victim's twin sister inside the house to change her diaper.
There are habits that can be developed to lessen the likelihood of leaving a child in a vehicle, according to Kidsandcars.org.
— Never leave children alone in and around cars for even a minute;
— Place something you need on the floorboard of the back seat;
— Get in the habit of always opening the back door of your vehicle before you get out of it;
— Keep a large stuffed animal in the child car seat when it's unoccupied; when the child is in the car, place the toy next to you on the front seat as a reminder;
— Make arrangements with regular child care or sitter that you will always call if your child isn't coming;
— Keep vehicles locked at all times and always set the parking brake;
— Keep keys and remote door openers out of children's reach;
— Make sure all young passengers are out of the vehicle when a destination has been reached;
— If a child is missing, check vehicles and trunks first;
— If you see a child in a hot vehicle, get involved. Get them out and call 911;
— Be especially alert about child safety during holidays, busy times, schedule changes and times of crisis;
— Use drive-thru services when available;
— Use a debit or credit card t pay for gas at the pump.
Police said the family found the child inside the car after about an hour and public safety officials administered CPR before she was rushed to a hospital. The toddler did not survive.
"Don't leave your child inside a car alone, even for a second," warns Brenda Greene, deputy health director for the Southwest Health District that includes Metro Albany, "and keep your car doors locked with your keys hidden."
According to Greene, the inside of an vehicle can reach dangerous temperatures even when outside temperatures are in the 80s. Temperatures in Southwest Georgia are already topping 90 degrees on some days.
The deadly vehicle temperatures can occur, Greene said, through a type of "greenhouse" effect as the sun's yellow, shortwave radiation flows through the glass windows of a car or SUV and heats objects inside, such as seats, the steering wheel and dashboard. That, in turn, heats surrounding air through conduction and convection.
To illustrate, a thermometer placed inside a SUV that had been parked in downtown Albany Tuesday read 120 degrees while the outside temperature had only reached 88 degrees. Also, the National Weather Service states that dark objects inside a car can reach or exceed 180-220 degrees.
Couple those scorching temperatures with the fact that a child's thermoregulatory system is much less efficient than an adult's and the outcome can be, and too often is, deadly.
Cars in hot or even warm weather can kill quickly. Greene warns parents who have misplaced their children to always check the inside their cars or trucks before looking anywhere else.
While automobile airbags have saved countless lives since their introduction in the 1990s, the safety device has also had some unintended consequences when it comes to small children and especially infants.
According to figures published by Jan Null, certified consulting meteorologist with Golden Gate Weather Service in San Francisco, at least 109 known fatalities from heat stroke have occurred in cars since that time — a ten-fold increase from the pre-1990s rate.
A likely reason for the increase is that it's easier to forget what you don't see, Null said. Since potential injury from air bags necessitates that small children be placed in the back seat, parents sometimes leave a sleeping child inside a vehicle.
Those figures don't imply that children should be placed in the front seat, or that air bags should be disconnected, Null cautions, but it does mean that special measures should be taken to jog adults' memories.
"Put something you keep with you all the time, like a purse or briefcase, on the backseat with your child," Greene said, "so that when you reach your destination you'll reach for it."
Greene also suggests that parents implement a strong "look before you leave" routine whenever they are exiting their autos. And she suggests making an agreement with child care providers to call if the child doesn't show up for school.
Kidsandcars.org, an organization that focuses on keeping children safe when it comes to vehicles, notes that heat stroke is the second leading cause of death for children 14 and younger when it comes to nontraffic-related fatalities. With at least 647 heat stroke deaths from 1991 through 2012, it trails only the 1,126 instances in which a child was killed when a car backed over it.
The organization said there were another 44 heat-stroke child deaths in 2013, and that the death Monday in DeKalb County was the fourth so far this year.

Timothy John Bickerstaff (28 November 1942 – 31 October 2009) was a New Zealand radio talkback host, sports broadcaster, newspaper columnist and author who pioneered talkback radio in New Zealand. Over nearly 40 years (1960–1997) he honed a reputation as New Zealand's version of Australia's Derryn Hinch or US "shock jock" Howard Stern.[1]

Early Years[edit]
Bickerstaff was born in Napier, New Zealand, one of two sons to Patricia Kathleen Bickerstaff (née Stevens) and George Ian Bickerstaff, (known as Ian),.[2] His father was a public accountant and sportsman who was at Napier Boys' High School when the Napier earthquake struck on 3 February 1931.
Parents Divorce[edit]
Bickerstaff's parents divorced while he was a pre-schooler and he and his brother Dale stayed with extended family until his father remarried to Mary Patricia Jaffray (known as Molly).[3]
His childhood was not particularly happy. After his parents separation he did not see his mother again until he was an adult and did not get on with his step-mother.
Childhood Recollections[edit]
In a chapter titled Good Keen Man in a Michael King edited book, One of the Boys? Changing Views of Masculinity in New Zealand, he recalled his parents were very social and he and his brother felt they did not "figure in the scheme of things."
Relationship with Father[edit]
His father was an ambitious man who was proud of his own record as a sprinter and pushed his sons to compete and win.
When Ian Bickerstaff stopped competing himself, he became active as a sports administrator and young Tim was drawn into a passion for sport at an early age. As a teenager Bickerstaff junior won the New Zealand junior hammer throw event but he did not enjoy "feeling like a trophy" his father showed off, and was not sorry when a knee injury ended his short athletics career.
"I tried to protect myself from the shining light and built a barrier between me and the world." [5]
Bickerstaff did not thrive at school but became fascinated with sports and became a walking encyclopaedia of sporting general knowledge.[4]
Towards the end of his schooling the family moved to Rotorua, and it was there in 1960 that Bickerstaff got his first job in broadcasting.
Radio and Television Career[edit]
NZBC years[edit]
He began as a TV sports reporter with the New Zealand Broadcasting Service in Rotorua, and spent seven years compiling radio and television shows for the service in Wellington, Dunedin and Auckland.
Bickerstaff was never a good "fit" for the conservative government owned networks, and just as he'd been a rebel at school, he did not quietly accept "the rules."
Rob Crabtree worked with Bickerstaff as one of the sports reporters for the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC) at Broadcasting House, Wellington, in 1964-65.
He recalled Tim was always larger-than-life and no respecter of authority. He spent his lunchtimes beating all comers at table tennis and letting everyone hear his opinions on the world, "whether they wanted to or not."
Radio talkback hadn't started in those days, but Tim was obviously headed in that direction, he said.
From Wellington, he was appointed to Dunedin's 4ZB to work with legendary sports broadcaster Peter (PHJ) Sellers.[6]
In 1967 he headed to Australia, where he worked in both radio and television, with 3DB and Channel 7 in Melbourne.
Journalist Phil Gifford, a fellow sports specialist, said the Broadcasting Corporation style of "the BBC crossed with a conservative insurance office" was never going to suit Bickerstaff's volcanic personality, and when he returned to New Zealand from Australia he was ready for something different.
"At the NZBC his most memorable moment was the time during the Saturday night television news when the camera panned down to reveal he was reading results directly from the 8 O'Clock sports newspaper"[7]
When he returned to Auckland in 1970 he took up a job as a sports editor at Radio I, a private radio station.
Sportsline with Geoff Sinclair[edit]
With his passion for sport and a prodigious memory for sports trivia he pioneered talkback on Sportsline with Geoff Sinclair on Radio I. The show attracted more than a third of the listening audience at its peak, and was arguably one of the most successful sports shows in New Zealand radio history.
Phil Gifford said Tim Bickerstaff didn't just blaze a trail in sports talk on radio in New Zealand as much as
"dynamite the landscape, and change it forever." [7]
New Zealand radio listeners had heard nothing like it. Said Radio Broadcasters Association Chief Executive Bill Francis:
"The combination of Sinclair and Tim Bickerstaff on Radio 'I's' Sportsline, was a must listen in the 1970s – full of cheek, outrageous behaviour and a constant questioning of players, and most of all the way sport was administered. Gone were the days of radio sport's hosts acting as cheer–leaders"[8]
He earned notoriety for the on-air Punch a Pom a Day campaign he initiated when All Black Keith Murdoch was controversially sent home from a British tour in 1972. The campaign, which included bumper stickers and jokes at the expense of the British, resulted in his Mercedes Benz being vandalised with a crow bar and a car dealer who sponsored his show having 40 tyres slashed in his yard.
The Bickerstaff -Sinclair match-up, said New Zealand Herald sports writer Chris Rattue, formed the finest radio double act New Zealand has produced. Their show was compulsory listening in his schooldays in the 1970s, as they made a wonderful chalk-and-cheese team, full of humour and irreverence.
He suggested it was a golden period for radio, as private companies changed the air waves thanks to deregulation. Sinclair was supposed to be the bad cop and Bickerstaff the good when they first went to air, but the roles were reversed at Bickerstaff's instigation.
"There has never been a pairing to match the warm, working-class Sinclair and controversial stirrer Bickerstaff. Their notables included introducing the Mad Butcher, Peter Leitch, to the city. Sinclair and Bickerstaff not only understood what made Auckland sport tick, they helped make it tick. "'[9]
As Gifford noted in the Sunday Star Times the inner rogue was always near the surface with Tim. I"[7]
Radio Pacific Talkback[edit]
By 1979 Bickerstaff moved to Radio Pacific and filled a solo two hour slot that combined sport with more general interest interviews which ultimately added up to wide-ranging talks with 2000 of the world's leading personalities – in and out of sport.
Beginning with world champion mile athlete John (now Sir John) Walker, they included Glen Campbell (singer), Mickey Rooney (actor) Billy Connelly (comedian), Ruth Westheimer (sexologist), Jack Nicklaus (golfer), Jean Houston, (psychologist) Jackie Collins (author), and Xavier Hollander (porn actress).
One he most admired was someone many would not have even heard of, the blind athlete Craig MacFarlane.
When interviewing high profile real estate auctioneer Dick Gladding 'live' on air on 15 June 1989, Tim asked Gladding if his agency used "ring-ins" to boost the bidding. Gladding replied "Tim, I feel sick". To which Tim replied "I thought you would say that".
There was a long silent pause and Tim looked at Gladding. He had suffered a heart attack and was dead in the studio chair. (This was believed to be the first time in the history of world radio that this had ever happened) [10]
These interviews revealed a different side to a broadcaster who'd become notorious for stirring controversy.
Said journalist Phil Gifford:
For several years I had the pleasure of talking for 20 minutes every week with him when he moved to Radio Pacific, and to this day I have never worked with a sharper mind, or a more attentive listener. [7]
He broadcast his last sports show on Auckland station The Point in 1997.
Business Life[edit]
King of Contra[edit]
Bickerstaff was the original pioneer of 'Contra' and for most of his career he was not paid a salary by the radio station. Rather he developed his own list of advertisers and sold their product on "time" – a certain number of minutes an hour – the station gave him in lieu of salary.
He had a company called Artnoc (Contra spelled backwards). TVs, refrigerators, microwaves, or Souvenir editions of All Black or All White books – Bickerstaff sold them all, while at the same time drawing listeners with his controversial commentaries on sport.[1]
Bickerstaff and the Mad Butcher[edit]
As Rattue recorded, Bickerstaff was responsible for giving Sir Peter Leitch his Mad Butcher "nickname".[11]
The two met in the Wiri Trust Hotel bar. Sir Peter, then a dyslexic former grave digger just beginning in business with Rosella Meats, took exception to Sportsline getting stuck into the Mangere East Rugby League Club, of which he was already a keen supporter.
He ended up taking (and losing) bets off air with Bickerstaff, so when the radio man tried to sell him advertising he decided it was more sensible to spend the money promoting his business than losing it gambling.
Leitch said in a newspaper interview he was sipping beer with Bickerstaff "and this Maori guy walks in, points to him and says: 'Hey, there's that ----ing mad butcher!'"
The expletive deleted throw-away-line became a household name through many years of advertising with Bickerstaff.[12]
They remained friends for life. Sir Peter attended Bickerstaff's sixtieth birthday party, regularly called him to enquire after his well being, and spoke at his 2009 funeral.[13]
Newspaper Columnist and Author[edit]
During the 1980s Bickerstaff regularly wrote a sports column for the Sunday News. In 1998 he wrote and published Heroes and Villains with Josh Easby, Jenny Wheeler and John Andrews.[14]
The book was a nostalgic review of incidents of high and low moments in sport, giving the Bickerstaff perspective on the "what really happened."
Sports men covered included cricketer Sir Richard Hadlee, yachtsman Chris Dickson, John Adshead and Charlie Dempsey, the men behind the 1982 All Whites Soccer World Cup campaign, and All Blacks Buck Shelford, Don Clarke and Keith Murdoch.[14]
Published by Hilton Valentine, a company the quartet formed for the purpose, it was a Father's Day best-seller.
Bickerstaff and Professional Rugby[edit]
In the first chapter of his book Heroes and Villains Bickerstaff describes how in 1977, nearly twenty years before Rugby finally went professional, he and former All Black Joe Karam formed a company called World Professional Rugby and signed up a squad of 25 top Rugby players with a goal of organising a professional tournament, but the venture ultimately failed because they could not find another international team to play against.[14]
He foresaw an era of professional sport and was involved in backing the controversial Rebel Cavaliers Rugby tour to South Africa in 1986, after an official All Black tour had been blocked by a court injunction the year before.
Health Products Entrepreneur[edit]
During his radio career Bickerstaff invested in several businesses, including a Howick sports shop and the Ramarama Country Inn.
Bee Venom Honey[edit]
In 1997 he founded health products company, Happy Families Ltd with partner Jenny Wheeler, and became the first to advertise honey with added bee venom as a joint supplement.
Bickerstaff had injected himself with bee stings in the knee he'd originally injured as a teenaged athlete after interviewing an expert on bee sting therapy (apitherapy) on his show. He was convinced of the effectiveness of bee venom for joint pain as a result of this experience.
When he heard Nelson apiarist Phil Cropp was making Nectarease, a honey with added bee venom, he offered to market it [15] if he could have exclusive rights to direct sell it.
Within two years Happy Families developed their own brand of honey and bee venom products, known as Honeybalm and BV Relief, and for several years continued to focus on marketing honey related products including honey and bee venom capsules, an Active Manuka cream, and Honeybalm For Pets for arthritic dogs and horses.
Male Impotence and Herbal Ignite[edit]
Happy Families began promoting erectile dysfunction product Ignite after Bickerstaff began talking publicly about male impotence in the mid 1990s, one of the first public figures to be willing to talk openly about this male health issue.[16]
Ignite was launched in early 1999[17] as an herbal alternative to pharmaceutical medicines like Viagra which were being launched in the New Zealand market.
Before Viagra was a legal prescription product in New Zealand Bickerstaff was buying it off the web and on-selling it to his car dealer and horse trainer friends.[1] In the process he got practised at talking to his mates about their sex lives. When Viagra was legally introduced he developed Ignite and began marketing on radio.
Over the next decade he became identified with Ignite as he did live call outs and voiced radio ads for the product. He answered the 0800 line for several hours each day and personally talked to many of his customers.
Eventually Ignite and a prostate health product (once called Quup, now Prostate Power Flow) became Happy Families lead products and the honey and bee venom line was withdrawn.
Happy Families was sold to Intenza NZ Ltd after Bickerstaff's death in 2009 and now focuses on sexual health products for men and women.
Bickerstaff was happily actively engaged with the Happy Families business until his death in 2009.
Sporting Life[edit]
From a keen sporting family, Bickerstaff's athletics career ended almost before it began when he damaged his right knee training in the hammer throw event.
He moved on to golf and then billiards, (he was NZ master's billiards champion in 1982).
He said publicly that giving up golf for billiards was one of his stupider decisions, because instead of enjoying the health benefits of roaming golf courses he ended up standing around billiard tables late into the night - with subsequent impact on his weight and his fitness.[10]
Boxing was a lifelong obsession, and Tim attended several world title fights which included Muhammad Ali regaining the title from Leon Spinks and Sugar Ray Leonard avenging his defeat at the hands of Roberto Duran.
In his book Heroes and Villains, Muhammad Ali was his pick as the greatest fighter that ever lived.
Ill Health and Death[edit]
In his late 50s Bickerstaff was diagnosed as diabetic, and his health gradually deteriorated over the next decade. In 2000 he moved to Whitianga, from where he was actively engaged with the Happy Families business until his death in 2009.
He died of a massive heart attack, sitting peacefully in his chair waiting for an All Blacks play Australia in Tokyo game to begin, at his Whitianga home on 31 October 2009.
Even in death Bickerstaff made headlines around the world, after Halloween trick-or-treaters found the 67-year-old diabetic through a window, but when their door-knocking failed to rouse him, they entered the house and set off his medic alert bracelet.[18]

Bedlam basketball: OU women can't come back after Cowgirls' second-half run
Oklahoma junior Aaryn Ellenberg led all scorers with 22 points Saturday; junior center Kendra Suttles led the Cowgirls (19-7 overall, 8-7 Big 12) with 19 points.
"It was all us, really," Ellenberg said. "We could've controlled everything that happened and we didn't."
OU coach Sherri Coale pointed to the Cowgirls' 19 offensive rebounds as a key difference in Saturday's game. In total, OSU out-rebounded Oklahoma 49-36.
"You can survive not shooting real well if you're not giving teams extra possessions," Coale said. "We gave them 19 second shots. It's hard to win, especially on the road."

Volvo teased its Concept Estate on a Swedish raincoat company's website before the Geneva Motor Show, where the wagonesque vehicle made its sexy debut. From Autoweek, take a gander at this shooting-brake style Volvo:
The show was all about the supercar. But this brown shooting brake from Geely's Scandinavian brand? We shall stare agog. We may attempt to pull it from the stand, as if we were a powerless Thor and it an immobile Mjölnir. At the very least, we may bring along our Thor copper/rawhide-faced hammer and ask the Concept Estate to sign it.
Volvo has brought the station wagon back to America; one small slice of the automotive continuum has been set to right. But the new V60 is a rather slinky, sporty thing, far removed from the box-plus-box-equals-box machines of the wagon's Stateside heyday.
If the Swedish brand's new Concept Estate is any indication, don't expect a reversion to angularity when the next generation of cars arrives.
Starting with the Concept Coupe unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show, the auto maker's been trotting out a line of distinctively-styled, rather lovely-looking machines built to presage the Geely-owned company's upcoming line of automobiles.
The Concept XC Coupe bowed at Detroit and promptly nabbed the EyesOn Design "Best Concept" award. The initial peek of the Concept Estate last month, courtesy of Swedish outerwear brand Stutterheim Raincoats (slogan: "Swedish melancholy at its driest") rightly predicted that this would be one of the darlings of Geneva.
Frankfurt's Concept Coupé was lovely. Detroit's Concept XC Coupé? Aces. But the Concept Estate looks as if it'll easily abscond with some Swiss cake rolls.
A fresh take on Volvo center console anchors the Concept Estate's cockpit. Showcasing Volvo's collaboration with Apple's new CarPlay, the interior features a large tablet-like touch screen in the center console.
Its proportions are defined by its long, low hood, sleek silhouette and glass roof. Little bit of P1800 ES. Whole lotta Swedish modernity.
