I just finished reading Little Bee by Chris Cleave for my book club. Without revealing too much of the plot (the book jacket implores the reader to "please don't..tell what happens. The magic is in how it unfolds."), there are many life lessons to learnt, but what most struck me was the idea of people wanting to make the world a better place. It really got me thinking. Now, I'm not a social activist. You won't see me at a protest making a big stink about things. And while I'd love to be a missionary in the field, the reality is that I have a family and a life here, and I'm not going to drag them with me. I'm just not that kind of person. But I do want to make a difference somehow. I thought I might start with what I know.
A few posts back, I wrote about how disappointed I was with the Storytime at Chapters. Turns out I'm not alone. I had a park playdate with a friend, and she told me about her ongoing quest to find a good story time. When I told her I had considered starting my own story time with another actor friend, she thought it was a good idea. So did another mom in the park who happened to be within earshot of our conversation. She volunteered to be our first audience.
So I thought - can I really do this?? Can I really marry my three greatest loves of theatre, reading and children and carve out a little space for myself to make a difference in the lives of children? And I thought about all the things that I could do with this space: read a wide range of interesting kids books, without sticking to the Chapters stock; put on puppet shows and mini kid-friendly theatrical presentations (think Free to Be...You and Me!); involve the kids in the stories by getting them to act it out; or invite "guest stars" - people I know in the industry - to come and read/act/sing. My head is spinning.
But before I do anything, I need to do some "market research". I need your help. If you have a moment, and the inclination, can you please give me some feedback on what is important to you in a good story time? Here are some questions I need answers for:
Do you or your caregiver attend a story time regularly?
What do/don't you like about the story time that you attend?
What age range of stories would you like to see (ie. should the books be kept for the under 4 set, or would you be interested in a session for, say, ages 5-9?)
Is stroller parking, or access to (sweet, sweet) caffeine a must? Or just a plus??
Would you be willing to travel to see this kind of thing, if parking or subway made it accessible? Or would you only go if it was in your neighbourhood.
And, here's a doozy: If the story time was an hour long, included cookies and juice, and a handout of books read (or activities to do based on books read) -- would you be willing to pay to attend (for example, $5 per child, but parents/caregivers and babies 0-6 mths are free? Or would you only consider attending if it was free??
I don't know if this could really happen, I have to do some more investigation. I'm excited by the possibilities, though. Maybe I can't make the world at large a better place, but I'd be more than happy if I could make a kid's day.

How to Process Data with Apache Hive
Data processing with Hive
Hive is a component of Hortonworks Data Platform(HDP). Hive provides a SQL-like interface to data stored in HDP. In the previous tutorial we used Pig which is a scripting language with a focus on dataflows. Hive provides a database query interface to Apache Hadoop.
People often ask why do Pig and Hive exist when they seem to do much of the same thing. Hive because of its SQL like query language is often used as the interface to an Apache Hadoop based data warehouse. Hive is considered friendlier and more familiar to users who are used to using SQL for querying data. Pig fits in through its data flow strengths where it takes on the tasks of bringing data into Apache Hadoop and working with it to get it into the form for querying. A good overview of how this works is in Alan Gates posting on the Yahoo Developer blog titled Pig and Hive at Yahoo! From a technical point of view both Pig and Hive are feature complete so you can do tasks in either tool. However you will find one tool or the other will be preferred by the different groups that have to use Apache Hadoop. The good part is they have a choice and both tools work together.
Our data processing task
We are going to do the same data processing task as we just did with Pig in the previous tutorial. We have several files of baseball statistics and we are going to bring them into Hive and do some simple computing with them. We are going to find the player with the highest runs for each year. This file has all the statistics from 1871–2011 and contains more that 90,000 rows. Once we have the highest runs we will extend the script to translate a player id field into the first and last names of the players.
Downloading the data
The data files we are using comes from the site www.seanlahman.com. You can download the data file from:
Once you have the file you will need to unzip it into a directory. We will be uploading just the Master.csv and Batting.csv files from the dataset.
Uploading the data files
We start by selecting the File Browser from the top tool bar. The File Browser shows you the files in the HDP file store. In this case the file store resides in the Hortonworks Sandbox VM.
Click on the Upload button
You want to select Files. Then you will get a dialog box.
When you click on the Upload a file button you will get a dialog box. Navigate to where you stored the Batting.csv file on your local disk and select Batting.csv. Do the same thing for Master.csv. When you are done you will see there are two files in your directory.
Starting Beeswax, the Hive UI
Lets start Beeswax by clicking on the bee icon in the top bar. Beeswax is a user interface to the Hive data warehouse system for Hadoop.
Beeswax provides a GUI to Hive. On right is a query editor. There is a limit of one query per execute cycle. A query may span multiple lines. At the bottom there are buttons to Execute the query, Save the query with a name, Explain the query and to start a new query.
Before we get started let's take a look at how Pig and Hive data models differ. In the case of Pig all data objects exist and are operated on in the script. Once the script is complete all data objects are deleted unless you stored them. In the case of Hive we are operating on the Apache Hadoop data store. Any query you make, table that you create, data that you copy persists from query to query. You can think of Hive as providing a data workbench where you can examine, modify and manipulate the data in Apache Hadoop. So when we perform our data processing task we will execute it one query or line at a time. Once a line successfully executes you can look at the data objects to verify if the last operation did what you expected. All your data is live, compared to Pig, where data objects only exist inside the script unless they are copied out to storage. This kind of flexibility is Hive's strength. You can solve problems bit by bit and change your mind on what to do next depending on what you find.
The first task we will do is create a table to hold the data. We will type the query into the composition area on the right like this. Once you have typed in the query hit the Execute button at the bottom.
create table temp_batting (col_value STRING);
The query returns "No data available in the table" because at this point we just created an empty table and we have not copied any data in it.
Once the query has executed we can click on Tables at the top of the composition area and we will see we have a new table called temp_batting.
Clicking on the Browse Data button will let us see the data and right now the table is empty. This is a good example of the interactive feel you get with using Hive.
The next line of code will load the data file Batting.csv into the table temp_batting. We can start typing the code and we will notice there is a helper feature that helps us fill in the correct path to our file.
The complete query looks like this.
LOAD DATA INPATH '/user/hue/Batting.csv' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE temp_batting;
After executing the query we can look at the Tables again and when we browse the data for temp_batting we see that the data has been read in. Note Hive consumed the data file Batting.csv during this step. If you look in the File Browser you will see Batting.csv is no longer there.
Now that we have read the data in we can start working with it. The next thing we want to do extract the data. So first we will type in a query to create a new table called batting to hold the data. That table will have three columns for player_id, year and the number of runs.
create table batting (player_id STRING, year INT, runs INT);
Then we extract the data we want from temp_batting and copy it into batting. We will do this with a regexp pattern. To do this we are going to build up a multi-line query. The first line of the query create the table batting. The three regexp_extract calls are going to extract the player_id, year and run fields from the table temp_batting. When you are done typing the query it will look like this. Be careful as there are no spaces in the regular expression pattern.
insert overwrite table batting
regexp_extract(col_value, '^(?:([^,]*)\,?){1}', 1) player_id,
regexp_extract(col_value, '^(?:([^,]*)\,?){2}', 1) year,
regexp_extract(col_value, '^(?:([^,]*)\,?){9}', 1) run
from temp_batting;
Execute the query and look at the batting table. You should see data that looks like this.
Now we have the data fields we want. The next step is to group the data by year so we can find the highest score for each year. This query first groups all the records by year and then selects the player with the highest runs from each year.
SELECT year, max(runs) FROM batting GROUP BY year;
The results of the query look like this.
Now we need to go back and get the player_id(s) so we know who the player(s) was. We know that for a given year we can use the runs to find the player(s) for that year. So we can take the previous query and join it with the batting records to get the final table.
SELECT a.year, a.player_id, a.runs from batting a
JOIN (SELECT year, max(runs) runs FROM batting GROUP BY year ) b
ON (a.year = b.year AND a.runs = b.runs) ;
The resulting data looks like:
This query may take a couple of minutes. While you're waiting, if you have internet access, take a look at this video from Alan Gates to hear about the future of HCatalog:
Future of HCatalog
So now we have our results. As described earlier we solved this problem using Hive step by step. At any time we were free to look around at the data, decide we needed to do another task and come back. At all times the data is live and accessible to us.
I have found your tutorials are very excellent, one of the best on Internet.
There is a syntactic error in the last query. The temporary table generated does not have a name for the max runs column, and hence cannot be used outside unless it is named.
select a.player_id, a.year, a.runs
from batting a
(select year, max(runs) as max_runs
from batting
group by year) b
(a.year = b.year AND a.runs = b.max_runs)
There is a column alias mentioned – max(runs) runs if you observe carefully. I've run the query as-is and works alright.
Nice tutorials!
Can you please throw some statistics on the performance with respect to amount of data Hive queries HCatalog?
this is really useful, thank you
Excellent article. However I have a confusion:
We first wrote the data into HDFS, then created a table and loaded data from HDFS files to HIVE table. Does this mean HIVE table is actually creating a copy of the HDFS file which was loaded into the table or is it only pointing to the data on the HDFS file system?
As you have said Hive is only pointing to the data on the HDFS file system. Hive only stores the structure of table not the data. Data is always accessed from HDFS.
@ Shekhar – No Shekhar, when you load data into HIVE table, the file is moved from HDFS into HIVE-controlled file system namespace. Although I did not understand why this is done, found this note at [https://sites.google.com/site/hadoopandhive/home/how-to-load-data-into-hive]. I'm still researching into why it is done that way. Please share if you find more details.
This is not the case, only the schema/structure will copied as per my understanding. Only a pointer is maintained from the Hive table to HDFS
@ Shekhar – No, when you load data into HIVE table, the file is moved from HDFS into HIVE-controlled file system namespace. Although I did not understand why this is done, found this note at [https://sites.google.com/site/hadoopandhive/home/how-to-load-data-into-hive]. I'm still researching into why it is done that way. Please share if you find more details.
Create Hive Table and give the table storage location as HDFS file Location, then data is there in HDFS only its not moved to HIVE warehouse. Table read the data from HDFS only.
Hi, I have a question on partitioning. Is it necessary that the partitioning variable be the last column of the source table?
Hello, this tutorial was really helpful. I have a question on partitioning and is as follows:
"Is it necessary to have the partitioning variable as the last column in the source table?"
Hi can we use hive for interactive reporting purpose. like accessing the Hive data using Jasper Reports and displaying jasper reports through browser(using web technologies java, php,..etc)
Can you explain more on below topic.
I thought that after executing below command, HDFS File stay same and additional data files are created in
/users/hive/warehouse.. I do believe this command is for internal tables.
Can you elobarate
LOAD DATA INPATH '/user/sandbox/Batting.csv' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE temp_batting;
After executing the query we can look at the Tables again and when we browse the data for temp_batting we see that the data has been read in. Note Hive consumed the data file Batting.csv during this step. If you look in the File Browser you will see Batting.csv is no longer there.
The Yahoo article link 404's. The correct link seems to be https://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/hadoop/pig-hive-yahoo-464.html
How can we update a record in Hive table?
Please tell me how can i do these thing through the REST api?
Question — what if there are multiple players with the "max(runs)" in a given year. For example, the most runs by a player in 1882 was 99…but what if there were two players who had 99 runs that year?
Would the result set show two rows, one for each of those two players with 99 runs in 1882…or would the result set show just one row, in which case which of the 'tied' players would it show?
Very awesome tutorial.
Any chance you're able to get the screenshots and the tutorial steps updated to reflect the latest version of Ambari / Hive please?
I got stuck on the bit where you need to upload the CSV to Hive in order to process it into the TEMP_BATTING table.
I kept getting an access error, but I don't have it on me at the moment as I'm currently at work.
when trying to upload file from hue file browser and trying to load from putty getting error root user not authorized.. how to get access to root user for files uploaded using hue file browser
So, what happens behind the scene?
Do a MapReduce job is created when the insert query is executed?
How does Hive interact with HDFS?
I am using Centos So How I can do hive on it.
I am using centos linux I download that data file from given website so what to do a head ?
please explain me.

Renew Life Colon Fit promises to help you to lose more weight and change your life! With Renew Life Colon Fit, you will finally be able to properly cleanse your body, detoxify for better results, lose weight, and improve your digestive and overall health. They promise that you will finally be able to properly detoxify your body and really get your body going. But does Renew Life Colon Fit actually work?
How Does The Renew Life Colon Fit Work?
Renew Life Colon Fit is an all natural formula that can give you certain superfruits. However, with all of the laxatives and diuretics, they will actually negate any possible benefits of those superfruits, and they cause more side effects of their own! With Renew Life Colon Fit, you will not get any of the benefits that you are looking for, and we would definitely recommend finding something else.
Magnesium-an electrolyte that can be lost in the process, this makes everything a more pleasant experience and gives you nutrients in some ways that you need.
Aloe vera leaf-a natural and effective digestive aid that promotes healing within the stomach as well as in the skin
Alder buckthorn powder-also known as rhamnus, buckthorn has been known to relax the intestinal muscles and therefore reduce abdominal pain. It has been used to treat chronic constipation. But it has never really been used to promote weight loss
Acacia fiber-this has been known to contain things like methamphetamines and phenylethylamine. It doesn't necessarily promote weight loss. but it can cause a few problems with the methamphetamine compound, and it is more of a mood lifter with the phenylethylamine.
Okra powder-a flowering plant in the mallow family, this has certain diuretic properties.
Triphala-this has been known to improve digestion, and also increase the number of red blood cells in the body.
Amalaki bibhitaki-a natural superfood and antioxidant, amalaki has been known to rejuvenate the body. However, it has never been known to promote weight loss
Renew Life Colon Fit Side Effects
Renew Life Colon Fit side effects include low sodium, increased blood sugar, increased cholesterol, rash, joint disorders, gout, impotence in men, menstrual irregularities, and breast enlargement in men.

Just remember one thing we have all been there whether we are at our goal or just started, or just maintaining we all need the extra push to keep on keeping on and not just with weight that could mean anything in our life that we need to work on to better ourselves.
I wanted to thank everyone for all their support and encouragement on my behalf because this truely means so much to me. All the encouraging e-mails and comments I appreciate so much.
With God's help and all of you out there I can do this and I can feel good about myself again.

My Goals:
I want to be down to 185 by June 14th 2007. This is my 50th Birthday and I want to look great and possibly take a trip with jut my husband and myself.
My Program:
I have cut down my proportions and I am excercising using Turbo Jam and also push ups and leg lifts, and I walk on the treadmill at the base when I can, and use the Elliptical Trainer and lift weights.
I am drinking tons of water and I am realizing I do not need to snack everytime I go to the kitchen. Ha.
I am also finding out that everytime I go to the store now I take longer because I have to check all the calories and fat content in all the items. I really enjoy it too.
Personal Information:
I am in California now. My husband and I came from Oregon and moved to California so I could be closer to my parents and take care of them during some trying health issues with both of them, and then my Dad died August 13th 2005 and this has been very hard on me but I am getting through it.
I know now what it is like to lose a parent and it isn''t a good feeling especially when you lose someone as special as my Dad.
You know as far as I am concerned there just are not too many Dad''s out there like the one I had. He would of gave his right arm for us kids if he had too. Him and Mom would of done anything to help us if we truely needed it.
My Dad was a minister for the Church of Christ and he helped so many people and he had the best reputation. I hope when it is my time for me to leave this world that God will say to me "Well done thou good and faithful servant" I know he has with my Dad.
Other Information:
My favorite scripture in the Bible is Phil. 4:13. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength and I also like John 17:17 and John 3:16.

Victor Valley and Barstow Sparkers Please Join Us
I'd be a wealthy man if I could trade fat for gold, but I would be better off if I can trade that fat for health.
I am Richard and Live in Victorville. I am glad to meet you. I have 145+ pounds to loose and I've lost 24.5 lb. since Dec 24, 2012. My only exercise at the moment is walking. I've been walking for the last 3 weeks + and I am up to 2 miles of walking a day. I purchased a pedometer to track steps, miles and calories burned.
The hardest part was starting. Mary one of five daughters started nagging about not walking even to the corner. I finally responded �what's so important about walking to the corner� and Mary said �to see what�s there.� I replied� I already know what�s there� and she exclaimed� how do you know if you do not go and look for yourself!� I walked to the corner and she was right. I saw that I had a hard time making it to the corner and had lots of pain in my knees and feet.
Come on folks I am nearly 60 and was carrying 309 pounds to the dinner table each night. Most nights I sit and eat in my recliner while others eat at the table. Previously I signed up for SP but never used it and that was in 2007.
Instead during the summer of 2007, I went to weight watchers and I was spending 2 to 3 hours each day during doing water aerobics and lost 56 pounds in 3 months. Well weight watchers changed instructors and the aerobics class was no longer available or convenient to a high school schedule. Losing the fitness level I had attained and regaining the weight back is bad enough, now listen to my excuse.
My excuses;
1. Put food in front of me and I�ll eat it.
2. Put all that food on the table and I�ll eat all of it.
3. You�re the one bringing cookies, cake, candy, and ice cream into the house.
4. If I make diet food everybody else eats it, no leftovers for tomorrow.
5. Exercising without buoyancy is more difficult.
6. I don�t like to sweat.
7. I chemically burned my feet and could barely walk for three months.
8. I quit exercising because Ron, ex-assistant principal, only wanted to exercise 15 minutes a day three times a week.
9. Why join a gym when I�ll feel so self-conscious and quit going.
10. It�s not like I am going to be an object of desire.
11. It�s Sunday
12. It�s Monday
13. It�s Tuesday
14. It�s Wednesday
15. It�s Thursday
16. It�s Friday
17. It�s Saturday
Get the message. I was miserable and I was making everybody in the house upset because I was blaming Margaret and not taking responsibility as to what I put in my mouth.
On the other side I admired anybody that got off their butt to start exercising. I�d see fat people waddling down the street. I would say a silent pray for God to watch out for them and prayed that they have somebody at home that loves and cherish them.

Jenny McCarthy is officially a cougar.
The former "Singled Out" star turns 40 today -- but last night she celebrated a few hours early with a big party in Las Vegas!
"Being that I'm 40, I'm dressing as a cougar, so paging all young boys 2 play," Jenny tweeted before debuting her very revealing Halloween costume on the red carpet.
Hard to believe it's been 17 years since Jenny made her TV debut on the MTV dating show.
"To make u feel old, I was 23 when I did singled out. Talk about scary!", McCarthy added.
Jenny started her career posing in Playboy in 1993 and later became Playmate of the Year. She stripped for the magazine again this year.
Jenny definitely still looks great -- see how some other famous former Playmates have aged in the gallery below:

Other Questions. - Animal Testing.
Wednesday, 3 December 2003
Dáil Eireann Debate
60. Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will review the proposal to introduce a new testing charge for cows being slaughtered, in view of the declining income of farmers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29105/03]
Mr. Aylward: There is no statutory requirement to test animals slaughtered under 30 months of age and, therefore, no charge to farmers. Under current EU rules, member states are required to undertake BSE tests on all cattle over 30 months of age intended for human consumption and on all casualty and fallen animals over 24 months of age. In the initial stages, following the introduction of the testing regime, the full cost of testing was borne by the Exchequer and the EU. More than 2 million such tests, most of which have been funded by the taxpayer, have been carried out at slaughter plants and other locations since the programme of active surveillance for BSE began in 2001. Against that background it was considered appropriate to transfer some of the costs to the industry on a progressive basis.
Accordingly, from February 2003 the State subsidy for testing male animals over 30 months of age and females over 30 months of age born after 1 January 2000 was discontinued. However, my Department continued to pay the sum of €10.50 per test for animals in this category to reflect the amount received by the Exchequer as EU co-funding in respect of each test. In addition, the costs of testing female animals born prior to 1 January 2000 have been carried by my Department, with assistance from the EU throughout 2003.
From 1 January 2004 the subsidy paid on testing these animals will be reduced from €10.50 to €8 in line with the reduction in EU co-funding for such tests. The full cost of testing cows born prior to 1 January 2000 will continue to be carried by my Department and the EU until the middle of the year when the State contribution will be terminated. EU co-funding of €8 per test for these older animals will continue to be passed on to the industry thereafter. This should also encourage the earlier slaughter of such animals. [409]The Exchequer will continue to carry the net cost of testing casualty, fallen and some other categories of cattle.
Mr. Deenihan: Will the Minister of State confirm the cost of a test?
Mr. Aylward: The cost is €35. As I have already indicated, the Department pays approximately €20 and the balance comes from the European Union.
Mr. Deenihan: In a year when farm incomes have declined drastically, this is a further imposition on the farming community. It sends out the wrong signal. When the increase is put in place next August, will the Minister of State give a commitment to consider restoring the subsidy in the event that money is available in the Department?
Mr. Timmins: Does the Minister of State agree that the cost of every measure regarding food safety and animal disease is borne by the producer? Could he indicate if the Government intends to reverse the decision of last year whereby disease levies were doubled?
Mr. Aylward: I will leave that to the Minister for Finance who will be here shortly.
Mr. Timmins: Is the Minister of State making a prior announcement?
Mr. Aylward: Questions were asked earlier about the total depopulation of herds. I indicated that it was in the interests of the industry that that would continue. No one could question the Department's commitment to totally eradicating BSE. Approximately €2 million will be passed to the industry. That was signalled a long time ago. Everyone accepts that the animals on which the charge is now being imposed, particularly older cows which have given good service to the farmer, have paid for themselves. Perhaps it is time to give something back.

Is there a command by which I can find my external IP of my router or my NAT\DSL Router, etc., eliminating the need to visit whatsmyip.net or similar.
There is no built-in command to do this. Part of the problem is that when you are connected to the internet through a router, your network hardware is not directly connected to the internet, so your system isn't specifically assigned an IP. It's possible you might even have multiple external IPs in some cases if you are behind a reverse proxy, as many corporate networks are set up. Your best bet might be to create a script which queries whatismyip.org, or trying to find if one already exists.
(As a tip, whatismyip.org is preferable to most other solutions, since it just returns your IP as plain text - no superfluous text, links, images or other garbage. It would be much easier to use in a custom script than most of the other IP-detection sites.)
grab your own copy of
or use powershell:
(disclaimer: http://myexternalip.com was created by me)
You could use a DNS request instead of HTTP request to find out your public IP:
It uses
Unix version:
Create a file named
Execute using
As nhinkle noted, it's best to choose a site that only returns the IP and not HTML + ads, etc. like:
(source: formerly http://externip.com/about)
I made this batch script to do that a few months ago:
It gives you the option to put the IP address in the clipboard and it sets an environmental variable -
Now, I just do this instead:
...to get the current public IP address into the clipboard.
You need cURL.
Try this:
Without third party programs is hard on Windows as Telnet isn't supplied by default, but, if it is there (XP) or turned on (Windows Vista and above), simply type:
the screen will flash, and you will just get a cursor... Next type:
In capital letters... you will then see the headers, followed by your ip (and sorry I blurred it, just showing where it would be!):
Other answers here obviously work, but, I'm trying to keep to the question on something that can be used on any windows, without third party programs!
For Windows Vista and above, you can install telnet easily (and safely) through
With Powershell 3.0 (Windows 7 default is 2.0) you can use
For IPv4:
For IPv6:
This will give you a variable to work with if you have something specific you want to do with it. I'm actually using this to build a script to upload my router's dynamic IP periodically, have another machine test communication to it at regular intervals, and then update DNS with the latest IP if it has changed so I can access my gear from anywhere by using a name instead of having to constantly chase down the IP.
And of course - as the sites change or their outputs change you'll want to update this accordingly. :)
You can use ifcfg.me. it supports some internal commands that come with windows by default.
Here is what I figured out, it's possible to use in-built command to get public IP address but you do have access to internet
telnet icanhazip.com
telnet myip.gelma.net
This works nicely, I use it mostly with psexec when inspecting client computer connections.
Are you able to log into your router? Should find the info there, like on a Status page.
Using a Mozilla browser & NoScript? NoScript Options | Advanced | ABE -> WAN IP.
I also had same problem and because i didn't find any solution I wrote purpose .net command line application. It is free, you can download it here. Application uses same approach as is shown in these answers but because it is designed for this purpose is much more reliable (it can use more more external web pages at once and so). Source is visible using reflection.

Those days are gone, but churches still get a sweet deal. They're exempt from taxes, which means that all of us, even non-believers, are stuck with the tax bill for their water rates, property taxes, roads, car registration tax, and more -- to the tune of at least half a billion dollars a year in Australia alone.
But this might be changing in the USA, as cities start to tax churches for their fair share.
When a community needs to rebuild crumbling roads, should houses of worship pay fees for the number of times their congregants drive on them?I don't know how successful this will be, but I find it incredibly encouraging that people are starting to have this discussion.
That's the question behind a recent suit filed by churches in the small city of Mission, Kan., who argue the city's new "transportation utility fee" is a tax they should not have to pay.
With cash-strapped states and cities facing a slew of tough choices, there's a growing debate nationwide about whether religious congregations should help foot the bill.
"It makes no sense to tax churches and to limit their ability to provide their services, and it does damage to the constitutional separation between church and state," argues Erik Stanley, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, which is representing Catholic and Baptist churches in the city of 10,000.Ohh, now they care about separation of church and state.
Seems one American senator is highlighting the problem at the federal level.
"THE constitution does not require the government to exempt churches from federal income taxation or from filing tax and information returns." The potential implications of this comment, in a report earlier this month by Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, are starting to dawn on a large chunk of America's charitable sector, which has until now taken for granted that it is exempt from tax.I look forward to a lot of squealing from the ecclesiastical sector. So churches do charity work? Fine. Have them disclose what percentage of their work is for charity, and treat that part of the business like any other charity. The rest of the business can pay taxes. Churches are money-making businesses, and they ought to be treated as such.
Currently, an estimated 1.8m "churches" are exempted from income tax—as they have been since America created its modern income tax system in 1894—and indeed from the many other reporting requirements imposed by the Inland Revenue Service on secular charities, which have to file IRS form 990 each year detailing their finances. The influential Mr Grassley, who has long championed greater transparency and accountability in the charitable sector, has become increasingly convinced that this privilege is being abused to the tune of many millions of dollars.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, left, and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, answer questions during a Pentagon press conference Aug. 4. (Jim Waston / AFP via Getty Images)
Defense spending cuts beyond the already planned $350 billion over the next decade would be dangerous and harmful as U.S. security threats increase, the Pentagon's top civilian and military leaders said Thursday.
In his first official press conference since taking the reins at the Defense Department, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Pentagon brass would spend the coming months informing Congress "of the dangers" of upping those cuts.
A debt ceiling agreement reached by Congress this week mandates about $350 billion in security spending cuts over the next decade. However as part of the deal, a bipartisan supercommittee must come up with an additional $1.2 trillion in federal spending cuts.
If by Christmas the so-called supercommittee cannot reach a deal, and Congress does not approve it, then automatic "sequestration" cuts will go into effect in January. These cuts would be divided between federal departments. DoD's share would be about $500 billion.
"I came into this job to fight," Panetta said. "My intention is to fight to make sure that, hopefully, some common sense prevails here, and that the committee that is established does its work in looking at these other areas of the budget."
Panetta called sequestration a "doomsday mechanism."
During the same briefing, Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said these additional cuts would put "at grave risk not only our ability to accomplish the missions we've been assigned, but those we have yet to be assigned as well."
But the two Pentagon leaders said they can safely cut $350 billion over the next decade.
"I feel pretty confident that that number is manageable, and that we can achieve it in a way that will protect our national defense," Panetta said.

Among the thousands of homeless children deposited at the Children's Aid Society in 1875 by orphan asylums, courts, and other institutions was a four-year-old named Willie, sent by the New York Prison Association.

A visit to New York when it was little, not very old, and rather more attractive
New York during the Revolution was, a loyalist wrote, "a most dirty, desolate and wretched place." And indeed it was. No other American city suffered as much from the war. It had been dug up by Americans for defense, shelled by British warships, ravaged by two severe fires, looted by enemy soldiers, even denuded of its trees for firewood. More than half its citizens had fled when the British began their seven-year occupation in the fall of 1776. Yet, astonishingly, by the turn of the century New York was on the threshold of becoming the largest city in the new Republic.Read more »

Ever since 1792, bulls and bears together have tripped the light fantastic on Wall Street's sidewalks—and sometimes just tripped
On a cold Saturday in December, 1865, the 350 members of the New York Stock Exchange gave a party to celebrate moving into a new building on Broad Street, near the corner of Wall—the first home of their own. "One of the finest temples of Mammon extant," the New York Times observed. Visitors poured through the spacious lower hall and up the wide stairs to enjoy refreshments in the high-ceilinged, black-walnut-panelled Board Room, whose acoustics had already been tested at a brief stock auction that morning.Read more »
To his contemporaries Thomas Nast was unquestionably America's greatest and most effective political cartoonist, attacking corruption with a brilliant and often vitriolic pen, harrying the bosses, creating the political symbols that still remain the emblems of our two major political parties. His grandson's impression is quite different. He remembers him as a gentle and witty companion, as the creator of our conception of Santa Claus, as a sad and lonely man whose life ended poignantly in a foreign land.Read more »
One day in late October of 1864, as the Civil War was moving into its final stages, eight young men in civilian clothes arrived in New York City from Toronto by train. Though they spoke with southern accents, they were quickly caught up in the swirl of the city's life, for there were thousands of Southerners in New York—businessmen and planters who had come north to protect their interests; families fleeing from ruin; and ex-Confederate soldiers, prisoners of war on parole, looking for a way to return home.Read more »
The old gray mare was not the ecological marvel, in American cities, that horse lovers like to believe
To many urban Americans in the 1970's, fighting their way through the traffic's din and gagging on air heavy with exhaust fumes, the,automobile is a major villain in the sad tale of atmospheric pollution. Yet they have forgotten, or rather never knew, that the predecessor of the auto was also a major polluter. The faithful, friendly horse was charged with creating the very problems today attributed to the automobile: air contaminants harmful to health, noxious odors, and noise.Read more »
Columbia College presented a peaceful exterior in 1788, but inside its medical laboratories something strange was going on; and under cover of darkness freshly interred bodies were disappearing from nearby burying grounds
It was February 15, 1788, a Friday morning, in the offices of the New York Daily Advertiser at 28 Hanover Square in New York City. Francis Quids, the paper's printer and editor, had just received a letter from a reader who asked that the letter be published. Because New York was small, extending only as far north as Chambers Street and containing only thirty thousand people, almost everyone knew what was going on in it. Still, the letter was shocking —not in the sense that it told Mr. Childs something he did not know about the city, but because it declared openly what was being discussed privately in tavern, home, and coffeehouse.
The 1910 race for the mayoralty of New York looked like a tough one.
In the early years of this century, the manager of Delmonico's famous restaurant in New York was sometimes heard to lament that all his customers looked alike, dressed alike, and even talked alike. In 1910 there occurred an instance of individualism run wild, if not rampant and amuck, that sufficiently stifled his lamentations. This refutation was the unloosing upon the New York scene of William Jay Gaynor, the city's new and extraordinary mayor. Delmonico's served as background for the eruption.

Please check this blog for our cruising stories in our own boats, which is also available using the link to the left. And my new Facebook page, use the link on the heading menu, where I now post quick comments and news snippets.
For many years we have spent the winters cruising in the tropics in a number of different boats. Great fun, we both really enjoy it, but it means I don't get much design work done. Except that sailing is good "R and D" and something all designers should do, for how else can they really know what sailing is like?
However this winter is different. We have rented out our house in Port Townsend, Wa, USA and, for the same money, rented a beach house in the Baja, Mexico right on the tropic line. So we are in the tropics, I do have my Tryst in the back of the car to sail, but it also means I can do some real work. Even when waiting for wind, below, I am thinking about design.
So look out for some new designs in the next couple of months. The first can already be viewed online: the 14ft Zest dinghy, 20ft Saylon and 28ft Salish catamarans and the Strike 20 trimaran.
Shortly there will be Rascal which is an easy build 2-4 person ballasted cruising dinghy. And also Zeta, a fast singlehanded trimaran and Eagle a 24ft cruising trailable catamaran with more hull volume than on my other open deck designs.
Also look out for the February 2015 (so probably around Christmas time!?) issue of Practical Boat Owner magazine, the UK's biggest, as it has an article of mine (rather dated, PBO sat on it for 5 years, but that's life) about the differences between catamarans and monohulls.
Details of new boat launchings are now generally put in the individual design pages for the boat in question. Those editing changes mean that this Latest News page will be updated less frequently than in the past.
As you will discover, this website is now very large and it may take you time to find what you are looking for. But please persevere and in particular please read the FAQ's and Forum pages as you will probably find the answers to any questions you may have there.
There are now over 100 YouTube videos scattered around this site. If you want to save time you can see a list of them all if you search YouTube for www.sailingcatamarans.com or visit my Woods Designs Sailing Catamarans youtube channel
If you plan to buy, or indeed, have bought, download plans then you should also check the Plan Updates page in case there are any for your boat.
PROFESSIONALLY BUILT DUO for sale
Our Skoota was beautifully built by Josh Turner of Wheelhouse Woodworks. He agreed to help me build a Duo in the 2 day Edensaw Boatbuilding Challenge, which is part of the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival.We used okoume plywood, clear sitka spruce timber and epoxy, so the Duo is good as it can be, despite the two day build time. However although it is epoxy coated inside and out it is not be faired and painted. It is the standard rowing version. However it is possible to fit a sailing rig and even to make it a nesting boat.
June 2014 Vardo
The second Vardo was launched in early June in St Augustine. I visited this boat in December and was very impressed with the boat and builder. As always launching was an "interesting" time, but it made it unscathed and sits nice and high on its marks.
the photo comes from his blog HERE
After his first couple of sails he wrote "Sunday was the annual St Augustine Father's Day race. It was a beautiful day for sailing and the first time I've been fully out the inlet onto the ocean since I've lived in St Augustine. We were not actually entered in the race, but started about 1 min after the cruising fleet. Some of those boats had bad starts so were no very far ahead when we started.
On the beam reach we immediately passed the Hunter 386 and closed with the Hinckley at the gybe mark. The wind strengthened on the final leg which was almost a run under jib and mains and we had gained almost 2 minutes on the Hinckley on the final leg.
He later said he was fitting a proper sized mainsail and genoa, which will certainly improve performance.
We launched our 10ft Duo dinghy in April, but only had time for a short row before I left for the UK. Since my return we have been busy sorting out the rig and the inflatable collar. Even a small boat takes time to sort out, but we are getting there. Plans are now available and as I write this 10 sets have been sold.
When we return to the USA we will be fitting a set of "dinghy dogs" instead of the beach rollers we are currently using. Although expensive they will look better and mean we can keep the rollers for their real job on the Strike 15
Not a new launching (I sailed this Wizard a few years ago in S California) but a new owner, who reported "Richard, thanks for such a fun design! Don't let anybody say a Wizard is slow - Saturday sailing in Southern California out of Marina del Rey, heading up the coast past Santa Monica. Wind 12-15 (whitecaps just starting to form)
May 2014 Strike 16
Comments from a Florida builder "Mr. Woods' plans are very easy to follow and I it's possible to build this boat in a side or backyard.
What do I like about this boat? I like having the ability to just buy a derelict Prindle catamaran, half buried in the beach, for next to nothing, then being able to just cut the amas in half and use all the equipment, including the rudder, for this new trimaran.
The ride on this boat is very, very dry. The main reason I built this trimaran was to take my wife out, as she does not like the wet ride of my proa, or the small catamaran I have.
The ride is fairly good. As with most trapezoidal designs, there is some slamming when the weather picks up and the waves get bigger and you are going upwind. On the plus side, the boat surfs very nicely. There is plenty of space for a weekend gear and provisions, and you could sleep inside of the boat if needed.
I have an outboard cradle, but haven't used it yet … I do not have to as just paddling is very easy.
I think the best days on this boat are when we can take a bunch of people on board and it still sails decently. I have 3 kids, so although a little bit cramped, we have sailed with 5 people at a very decent speed.
Being a trailerable boat really opens up possibilities to explore all over Florida, on both coasts, and through all the Florida key chains and the Everglades Park.
May 2014 Strike 15
A report from a French Strike 15 builder (a slightly modified boat)
"Newly launched Strike 15 Citronette had its first testsail on 06 and 07 May. She was very well balanced, light and responsive, a real pleasure to helm. The first day with very light wind she sailed consistently at 7 kt . The second day with more wind, she sailed consistently at 9 to 10 average speed, with maximum 10 s average speed of 11.5 kt (no anemometer record in the close vicinity, but my estimate is around 9 kt average wind).
My feeling to windward was very positive, with average speed comparable to A class cat. On a beam reach I had the feeling of a drag hump to go over 11 kt, compared to my A cat, but it is only a feeling as I had no opponents. The sailing school manager of the club, on the water, reported me he was puzzled by the boat speed with not much wind. Congratulations Richard, Strike 15 is a good vintage !"
May 2014 Vardo
Just an up date on Alona Blue, she is 99% finished and we sail her at least once a week. We have been doing some Island hopping and sunsets and she sails great! I am so happy with her performance and handling. I have 6ft head room and a beautiful Cat............. I could not be happier........!
As you know I stretched her to 36 feet and to compensate I had the jib cut to 140%, she is very balanced on all points of sail. We will continue to finish the details that we want then sail the southern island of the Philippines.
The newest cruising design is Vardo, a 34ft cruiser, something between a Romany and Flica. Many people (like myself) don't need the space of a Flica and want better performance. Which is why I like the Romany design. But many less fanatical sailors want an "inside toilet" and basically more comfort.
So this design is a cross between the two boats. The hulls are essentially enlarged Saturn hulls, but with a bit more freeboard. The bridgedeck cabin is Romany styled and a minimum size to get a saloon and space to access the hulls. (a quick note re the name. A Vardo is the Romanii gypsy name for the horse drawn caravan they live in). The first three set of plans have now been sold.
You can see a builders blog here http://sailingcatamarans.blogspot.com/
The Skoota 28 is now available with hulls stretched to 30ft (9.15m), making it more suitable for larger engines, and by implication, bigger fuel tanks. The cockpit and interior will remain the same. The extra length also allows for a bigger dinghy hung in davits.
Please contact me for more details.
For new readers
When I am not in the UK office Mary Theobald is the person to contact. She has a great background in multihulls as she has been helping to run the brokerage side of the Multihull Centre (www.multihullcentre.co.uk) for many years and currently owns a 33ft catamaran.
Finally: Normally we use Paypal as our payment gateway, but we do still take sterling cheques. If you wish to send one, please make the cheque payable to Woods Designs, not Richard Woods, thank you. If you want to pay me using other means just email and I'll sort something out
Many of you ask me for contact details of other builders. I'm sure you can understand why I am reluctant to give out customer's email addresses to strangers. So can you please use one of the forums and ask there for other builders to contact you direct. After all, that's one of the reasons for setting up the forums in the first place!
We really like the photos you send us of your boats either in build or sailing. Please keep them coming in, but when you email them please send them as JPEG's and send them at 72dpi resolution with a maximum width of 450 pixels. That size will fit neatly on the screen and saves both you and us email download times!! Thank you.

May 27th, 2009Officials work to move mall 'village' forward
by Ann Wallace
Oak Grove officials are in Frankfort today hoping to convince Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear to give them extra money to get the bulldozers moving for a proposed massive mall.
Tentative plans call for Oak Grove Village at Fort Campbell, designed by JRDV Architects, to be situated near Gate 7 on U.S. Highway 41A.
"The biggest problem we have is the lack of a sewer system. We have requested $7.3 million from the state to do the infrastructure necessary. Hopefully, we'll get an answer pretty quick," said Oak Grove Mayor Dan Potter, who stressed that Beshear has expressed strong support in the past for the mall project.
The proposed European-style retail center is expected to become a shopping destination for this region, according to Lucia Albers, who bought the 110-acres in Oak Grove for the proposed retail center.
"Without the infrastructure we cannot move forward. As soon as we get a commitment for the infrastructure, we'll start moving forward as soon as possible," Albers said during a telephone interview from her home in California.
Albers said 3,000 jobs are expected to be created when Oak Grove Village opens. Once groundbreaking occurs, construction is expected to take about two years.
Oak Grove Village is expected to include 2.1 million square feet of mixed retail-professional-recreational space.
"Oak Grove has a lot of qualities, the demographics, it is close to lakes and the area has a very good labor force with good-quality people and strong work ethics," Albers said.

Red Cross teaches kids disaster preparedness
More than a dozen children in the Spring Camp program at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu were treated to an American Red Cross puppet show that taught "stop, drop and roll" and other disaster preparedness lessons Wednesday, April 9.
"The reason we do this is to help children learn at an early age what to do when disaster strikes," explained Judy Stahl, chief operations officer of the American Red Cross chapter serving Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. "Puppet shows are a really effective way to get kids engaged."
The catchy tunes and skits were backed up with drills. Youngsters crawled under tables to protect themselves from falling debris during an "earthquake," and they snaked across the floor to get away from "billowing smoke" in a "house fire." They also practiced the "stop, drop and roll" technique in case their clothes were ever to catch on fire.
Emcee Orion Kobayashi and the two puppeteers, Colleen Lewis and Mike Dixon, are among 100 AmeriCorps members working in 21 Red Cross chapters across the country to help communities become better prepared for disasters.
All recent college graduates, they're committing 11 months of full-time service to the organization.

Here is a personal finance apps that is absolutely free and available at the iTunes store. The perfect application for those looking at ways and means to save their money by keeping a complete account of their spending against their savings and earnings. This is your money on–the-go, allowing users to manage their finances irrespective of where they are. Mint is safe and secured with a 4-digit PIN and iPhone access opt-out button, leaving users at peace when they access their financial data. Mint is flexible allowing you to track your spending, budget, categorize transactions and even summarize your various bank accounts like credit card and savings account.
Mint version 1.12.125 has loads of interesting features which has earned it a 4+ reputation in the iTunes store.
- With access to Google Places, looking for a merchant is possible especially when you need to add a transaction.
- You can Find Savings for e.g. you can look for the best home loan options within a few minutes. Mint analyses your accounts, spending, credit ratings and banks to help you look for a personalized loan.
- You can also view a graphical picture of your spending, savings, investments etc on a daily, monthly or annual basis as per your
- Its Auto Categorization feature makes it easy to use, since it files your accounts in the right category. The listed categories are easy to modify, re-categorize and edit.
- You can set a goal for e.g. target savings amount, retirement fund etc. Enter your target amount and get a progress report on how you are doing. Most importantly you get free advice on how to reach your goals faster.
- Security is top class with Mint, in fact users can be rest assured with their money details. With a 24/7 email and text alerts you know what happens to your funds, moreover since this is a read-only service, you cannot move funds from one account to another using your Mint.
There are however a few critical views about the Mint, for e.g. the application crashes or freezes sometimes for no apparent reason, refreshing the screen could help for a while. Using the Categories section has also been a bit tiresome for a few users, as it fails to work as promised sometimes, which is definitely a big disappointment. US Bank account users have faced issues with linking it to Mint. There are a few bugs with Mint, like not being able to split transactions, but that's about it.
However the new features are what is very attractive and helpful, apart from it being free apps. Overall a good app that will help you save money!
