Wanda Brehmer and Jonathan Solomon would have liked nothing better than to have won a title at last weekend's Old West Steak House Mixed Doubles Championships.
But some things are more important than winning.
Brehmer didn't get to vie for the title, but after spending the weekend playing tennis with her son, that really didn't seem to matter.
"I just love to play tennis with him," Brehmer said. "We play together whenever we can."
Brehmer and Solomon defeated Susie Allen and Steve Donaldson in the consolation bracket of the 9.0 division in Sunday's championships round to take third.
"It was a great weekend," Brehmer said. "It's just so much fun to get out there and play -- especially with Jonathan."
But in Steamboat there are only a few opportunities that offer players a mixed format. Brehmer said it's a tournament she looks forward to every year.
She also likes the tournament because the Steamboat Springs Tennis Association sponsors it. The tennis association's next big event, the Ore House singles and doubles championships, is a benefit for the high school tennis teams at Steamboat Springs High School. That tournament will take place in August.
Solomon plays for the high school boys team and will be entering his senior season this fall.
Katthain Fabiola and Dave Schaller took top honors in the 9.0 division by beating Kellie Banisky and Brad Nelson in a hard-fought championship match.
Anya Cooper and Joel Toy defeated Ramsey Bernard and Breanne Murray in the 8.5 division. Dan Anderson and Patty Kreutz won the consolation title.
Anderson teamed up with Laurie Buelow to win the 8.0 division. They defeated Priscilla and Glynn Sisson. Christina Allevato and Andrew McQuade won the consolation title.
In the 7.5 division, Sandra and Bob Schulz defeated Brian Aragon and Murray. Karen Connell and Cal Myers won the consolation bracket.

I've been a bit lax about posting since last Friday. I'll just summarize what I did for the weekend.
Saturday, 8/28/10
Worked out in Boise with my coach on deck. Did a long warmup then worked on technique and turns. Total yards about 3000.
Sunday, 8/29/10
Did the 5k postal swim.
Time was slow, but I didn't die and held a consistant pace throughout.
We will be meeting pilot of the Pace Arrow, Paul Foreman at the Dover Marina at 1:30 AM. After loading up and a brief ride, I should be jumping in at Samphire Hoe between 2:30 and 3:00 AM.
Today there were quite a few successful crossings, including 4 of our neighbors here at Varne Ridge. Evelyn and David had the flags of Australia, Great Britain, Norway, and the US of A. The american was Joe Locke from San francisco with an awesome 10 and a half hour swim. The English women's record was broken, and an Aussie right next door swam a 9 1/2 hour crossing.
From Varne Ridge, tomorrow, my friend and current house mate Ian Hodgeson and I will be representing the USA, and 2 irish swimmers will also be taking their turn at the crossing.
Lots more to share, but its time to try and get a bit of rest.........

back extensions w/twist w/10 lb weight, 1 x 25
RC work: external and internal rotators, ball on wall, arm circles, prone scapular scrunch, seated straight arm dips
New exercises:
1. stability ball twister, 3 x 25
[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYhTHh0IgRI"]YouTube- Dryland Exercises for Swimmers[/nomedia]
This was fairly easy flexibility wise; balancing was somewhat more of a challenge at first, but I got the hang of it. I had the ball in the wrong place though. It looks like it would be easier to balance if you have the ball on your thighs like the person in the vid. I did it with the ball closer to my waist.
2. reverse scoops w/overhead twist w/25 lb plate, 2 x 25
In this exercise, you do the Ryan Lochte reverse scoop with a plate and then, with the weight directly overhead and arms straight, twist to the left and then to the right and back down to squat position. Because of the weight, this exercise seems better at building rotational strength than the stability ball twister.
3. plank push, 2 x 10, each side
I just made this name up. When doing this, you start in a side plank with your feet on top of each other on a bosu. One arm on the floor and put the other hand on your hip. Then push your hips toward the ceiling. This is somewhat challenging. If you can't balance this way, you could put the second hand on the floor to provide more stability. This reminds me of a TRX exercise. And remind me that I still need to watch my TRX DVD.
10 minutes of stretching
Note: I saw what I think was a football player doing reaction drills with a trainer where he jumped forward or sideways on a whistle. It occurred to me that a forward jump reaction drill would be good for starts.
I did a very twisty dryland workout really working on the lower and mid back. I should have added the cable twists w/yoga ball to this workout.
After I finished, I headed toward the pool where Mini Fort works to swim an easy 1500 or so and pick her up. But minutes before I arrived a kid pooped in the pool and it closed early. Really, the number of these incidents this summer is at some stratospheric level ...
Hoping to swim and do yoga or P90X tomorrow. My Mom travelled back home to Tucson today, so hopefully that will free up more time.

Those 200s might be the fastest I have swim in practice from a push. The second 200 and second 100 were a little surprising as I was still feeling the effects of the first 100 and 200.
The mountain was actually given as a combo of swim, kick, pull.
Lazy Wife made her first appearance at practice since Feb and was happy I forced her to go. She discovered that her shoulders like the metallic green children's kick board.
Though I seemed to have issues with breathing during my main set I still managed a great time.

It's hard to believe I've already been back to school for 3 full weeks!
I am very tired by friday nights but I've vowed to not leave the school premises till I have Monday's lessons complete and on my desk, music files all set on ipod, all equipment ready to go, and a light cleaning job. As I sit here Sunday night I'll have to say it feels good to not be scrambling around and worrying about monday!
I was totally non-productive this week-end. Basically I swam, relaxed, and shopped a little. (oh I guess I did a little laundry)
Here's the week-end rundown:
Friday Nite: 2,800 ez workout of mixed strokes at the Monon solo. Dinner at some salad place complete with chard. Walked the pug.
Saturday: A delightful morning at Forest Park. Workout was 4,000 lcm of all freestyle (hard!) Coffee and chatter on the deck afterwards.
Yardwork, reading in the sunroom, shopping with marty. Dinner at Champp's with older daughter! BBC dvd "The Office" season # 1. Sleep
Sunday: Another great Forest Park morning. 3,800 lcm workout (I skipped the warm-up). Egg sandwiches and coffee on deck afterwards!
Afternoon: Moto-cross GP race! Hot but very exciting! Beer flowed freely! Dinner at a new Mexican Cafe! I like CHILL week-ends!
Swam last LCM of the summer today with the Sharks.
Unless they keep the pool open (Doubtful)
Lots of guest swimmers today, around 10
It's an administration nightmare to take
care of by myself with that many guest.
But oh well. Somebody's got to do it!
Put LCM Lane lines in. (4)

I felt like a turtle today.
It was just hard to get moving.
The water was a bit on the cold side due to
a few nights of temps in the 50's
So that may have been it.
At least that what I'd like it to be :-)
I really enjoy swimming outside. It just
seems like there is more fresh air than in a natatorium.

On the previous episode of Jimslie's Inferno....
Our protagonist swam a horrible 200 LCM freestyle at the U. Maryland pool partly because of leg cramps, a missed turn, the lack of a cheating full-body suit, but mainly due to being a bad, bad swimmer.
He then partially redeemed himself on the 50, which was exactly 1/2 second slower in jammers than his 50 the previous year in a B70.
But just as he thought he was escaping from Swim Meet Hell, a length miscount during the pathetic 1500/1600 dragged him back down into Patheticon Redux.
Afterward, he slunk back to the Livingston-Thornton Compound to try to recover as best he could before the second and final day of humiliation...
Deeply despondent about his performance during Day No. 1 at Colonies Zones LCM meet, Jimslie borrows clothing items from Leslie and tries to fight off the full-body chills that have been wracking his cramp-riddled physique. Perspicacious viewers will note the reflection of Leslie (holding the camera) and legendary distance swimmer, Michelle Kagy-Schwartz (nourishing her ample bosom out of what appears to be a dog food bowl.)
Michelle post-bosom nourishment.
Hopefully, I have not lost anyone with the brief recap above, but if so, please simply revisit http://forums.usms.org/blog.php?b=11260 and join the 485 viewers so far who have tremendously enjoyed living my abject swimming meet misery in a vicarious way.
But enough about the distant past. It is time now to move onwards towards recalling in detail the marginally less distant past.
I retired early, hooked myself up to the CPAP machine, read some more of The Girl Who Played with Fire in a bed where bad things are done, nodded off, and dreamed of my new residence as a swimmer, that is to say:
Picture courtesy of the magnificent Chicken of the Sea, a woman who I hope, like all women readers of my vlog, will not be offended by the pervasive male notion that there is no worse place for a male athlete to reside during a meet than the Platypusary; and no better place to reside in celebration of meet accomplishments afterwards than the same. Alas, for Jimslie, the timing of his residency here was precisely the opposite of optimal.
As I slumbered, I am not sure what exactly the energetic Livingston girls were up to, though it is possible they were filming a television commercial for cold creme. Which one is the daughter? Which one is the mother? Who knows? They look like mono-zygotic twins, one of whom has had a gene mutation shortly after the first cellular replication of the zygote, a mutation leading to hair color the likes of which is rarely seen outside of Lucille Ball and/or Carrot Top.
I got up, as is my new wont on CPAP, around 6:30 a.m., crept downstairs in my pink socks, read The Washington Post, and gave myself a pre-meet pep talk:
You suck. You are a bad, slow, pathetic worm of a swimmer. You have been deluding yourself for years thanks to those ridiculous body suits you have been wearing. You are not a swimmer at all. You are not even much of a body kayaker, but without your body kayak, it is a wonder you can swim at all. I am surprised the lifeguards let you dive in without first mandating a deep water test.
But on the plus side, with this meet you have a chance to set a new personal low water mark. You are swimming so slowly that only an utterly incompetent person would not be able to improve on your performance in the future. Of course, the odds are overwhelming that you are just such an utterly incompetent person.
There's something about my daily affirmations that almost always perk me up. When Leslie, Rich, Michelle, and I headed back to The University of Maryland's world-famous MIDOL Extended Relief (R) Natatorium Complex, (call me old-fashioned, but I really this corporate purchasing of naming rights for athletic facilities has gone too far), I was determined to show the world what I was really made of--putrescent foul-smelling pustulent rot!
At the meet, another familiar forumite had arrived to cheer on her fellow losers:
Alison Simpson SwinShark Moore and I do an impression of narcoleptic lemurs on meth. We are two of the very few forumites who are 100 percent committed to President Obama and continue to send his re-election campaign as much money as we can possibly afford. Why? Because we both know we will be going on welfare soon.
After the joke photos have been taken, Alison and I turn serious. We point out each other's respective swimming infirmities. In Alison's case, it is a recently removed Manitou from her right ankle, a "cyst" that had threatened to grow into a malevolent Indian Midget God; in my case, it is an enormously fatted gut filled with visceral fat, precisely the sort of victual favored by Manitous.
After warm-up, I noted that my legs--though a bit less cramp-prone than the day before, thanks to A) the pink socks, and B) Leslie's kindly agreement to raise the air-conditioning setting up to 67 degrees as opposed to 66, my toes were nevertheless continuing to move under their own volition, that is, with no conscious input from me. This desultory shifting around, though normal enough in my restlessly flaccid manhood, is nevertheless not the norm in my toes and invariably presages problems with cramps.
I thus initiated a series of stretching maneuvers and anointment of the piggies with hot water in the shower.
Jimslie shows the other Jimslie how to stretch the pectoral muscles beneath freshly shaved moobs (male boobs). Note how the other Jimslie has absolutely no need to shave her own foobs thanks to the continuing legalization by FINA of enormous technical body suit covering of female flesh. Really, if FINA had any interest whatsoever in fairness, Leslie, Eney, Michelle, et al should be forced to wear male jammers and modesty pasties. Note: I may have to vlog in the future about my campaign to mandate FINA-approved pasties for female masters swimmers. If I forget to do this, please remind me.
As I climbed the blocks for today's first event, the 400 m freestyle, I felt my thighs cramp slightly. I told myself the following:
Don't dive with gusto or the lifeguards are going to have to use the hook on you.Swim the first 50 slightly out of your comfort zone; the next 100 easy; the next 50 slightly outside your comfort zone; the next 100 easy; then build the last 100.If you suck, you will have established a new time you can beat in the future. If you don't suck...well, you are going to suck.
Last year's time, in a B70 at Indy, was:
Leg Cumulative Subtractive
1 35.14 35.14
2 1:15.38 40.24
3 1:54.79 39.41
4 2:34.19 39.40
5 3:12.20 38.01
6 3:49.58 37.38
7 4:25.50 35.92
8 4:58.31 32.81
Imagine my delight, therefore, when I looked up at the scoreboard for this year's race and saw that I had beaten this (albeit slightly) in a pair of jammers! Woo, thank god, hoo!
Leg Cumulative Subtractive
1 34.84 34.84
2 1:14.68 39.84
3 1:54.11 39.43
4 2:32.32 38.21
5 3:10.71 38.39
6 3:48.23 37.52
7 4:24.40 36.17
8 4:58.22 33.82
Adding to my delight here was the fact that my second 200 split was only .1 slower than my actual 200, with a dive, the day before, adding more evidence that the cramps and missed turn, more than total suckiness of body and character, had accounted for yesterday's pitiable performance in my best event.
And adding even more accelerants on my smoldering bonfire of joy and redemption: thanks to this year's relatively pedestrian swims in the 400 in my age group peers, today's 4:58.22 actually put me in third place nationally in the event rankings (though I understand another fellow, who swam worlds masters, is also ahead of me):
1 Wood, Larry W56 4:53.58 TXLA USMS 2010 Summer National Championships
2 Guadagni, Peter M55 4:57.40 WCM USMS 2010 Summer National Championships
3 Thornton, James58 4:58.22 TPIT 2010 Colonies Zone LCM & 6th Annual Terrapin Cup
If I'd known how close I was to glory, perhaps I would have swum a few more of the 8 lengths outside my comfort zone.
At this point, I was a little confounded. My 50 was decent, 200 awful, 400 decent, and 800/1500-1600 awful. Part of the reason I came to this meet was to see what effect the FINA suit change was likely to have on my swimming performance. I haven't swum LCM enough to really have a great sense of what various times mean, and I figured this would be a good way to cushion myself against what I thought would be a severe blow of at least 2 seconds per 100 (and maybe more) of slowing down this coming SCY season.
But to date, the data only told me that the suit changes makes a +6 sec. difference per 100 m in the 200; a +.5 sec. difference in the 50; and a -.01 difference in the 400.
Perhaps my final event, the 100 M free, would yield more definitive data?
Last year at Indy, once again, in full B70 knee skin regalia, I swam this distance in:
Leg Cumulative Subtractive
1 29.82 29.82
2 1:00.87 31.05
And the year before, in this exact same U. Maryland pool, while wearing a Speedo Pro (that was stolen at the meet), I did it in:
Leg Cumulative Subtractive
1 29.69 29.69
2 1:01.63 31.94
When I climbed the blocks this time, my toes were twitching violently, and my arches were in that pre-spasm phase. Again, I reminded myself not to dive off the blocks too hard for fear of triggering cramps, and not to go out too fast for fear of dying prematurely. I knew I would be going considerably slower in my jammer than in yesteryear's full body suits.
The question was how much slower?
My seed time was just under 1:05, and I wondered if--rather than sandbagging--I had inadvertently anti-sandbagged.
Somehow, I managed to finish the distance without cramps, and when I looked up at the scoreboard, I once again found reason for pleasant surprise:
Leg Cumulative Subtractive
1 30.09 30.09
2 1:01.84 31.75
This time was only .97 slower than last year's effort in a B70, and .19 in a Speedo Pro. It also, I was delighted to discover, ended up beating all the women in the entire meet. Among others, I absolutely crushed top place female finisher, Fall Willeboordse,
Women 40-44 100 Freestyle
================================================== =========================
Pl Name Age Club Seed Time Final Time Points
================================================== =========================
1 Willeboordse, Fall 44 AGUA 1:00.90 1:01.86 9.00
28.83 1:01.86(33.03)
Who knows how many more hundredths of a second I could have beaten Fall by if she had been wearing a jammer, too, and the pasties I will devote much of next year lobbying FINA to adopt, provided someone reminds me?
But that is neither here nor there.
For now, it was time to celebrate my emancipation from the Platypusary of swimming and into the Platypusary of life!
To the victor goes the spoils. Not that I in any way think of Michelle as spoiled.
So, what did this meet teach me? What life lessons can you, my readers, take from my own experience in travail overcome, adversity leap-frogged, glory obtained via alternative routes?
Let me sum up for you:
If you are having trouble achieving glory, lower your standards for defining glory. In my case, if you can A) beat Leslie, Eney, and Fall in any event whatsoever, and B) swim in jammers somewhere only one to six seconds slower than your best 100 times in a cheating suit, then you, sir, are a resounding success!Positive affirmations are not necessary and, in fact, counterproductive to success. The old chestnut about "you can only achieve what you believe you can achieve" is absolute rubbish and squanders necessary psychic energy trying to talk your mind into something it knows to be false. Better by far to simply redefine and cognitively restructure misery in positive terms. Just as insomniacs often find relief by trying to stay awake, so do swimmers swim better when they prepare themselves ahead of time to swim horribly!After a meet such as this one, filled as it was with corporal, mental, emotional, spiritual, and psychosexual challenges, make sure to keep your eye on the road when driving back. I rear-ended a very angry woman while wool-gathering briefly on an entrance ramp.Finally, sitting on a guy's lap while fully clothed will not lead to panky or , for that matter, hanky--just the sort of sustained happy memory in the mind of the aged man such as me that will keep us asking for ventilators a little bit longer than we should.

It is a beautiful day here. Nonetheless, I drove to an indoor pool to do an endurance workout. I swiped this one from Geekity.
Warm Up:
750 various
Main Set w/fins:
1 x 600 free @ 8:30 (went 7:26)
6 x 50 kick @ 1:00, did flutter w/board (held 30s)
1 x 500 free @ 7:00 (went 5:57)
5 x 50 kick @ 1:00, backstroke kick (31s)
1 x 400 free @ 6:00 (I recall that I went 4:26, but that seems awfully fast, although this was definitely my best effort of the set. Maybe it was 4:36?)
4 x 50 kick @ 1:00, went flutter kick w/board (held 31s)
1 x 300 free @ 5:00 (went 3:24) -- cramped and the wheels starting falling off
3 x 50 kick @ 1:00 (cruised)
1 x 200 free @ 3:00 (went 2:12)
2 x 50 kick @ 1:00 (cruised)
1 x 100 @ 2:00 (went 1:00)
1 x 50 kick (cruised)
Total: 4000
Gawd, I forgot how hard it is to swim at a decent clip for more than 100 yards. Geek was right that this set has a compounding effect, and I was utterly gassed by the end. Actually, I had trouble starting at the 300 free. I thought I would pick up the kicks as they went. No way, I just cruised the last 6. I had contemplated doing drylands today, but I think I'll save that for tomorrow. (If I do any, I'll update my blog later.) The modifications that I made to Geek's set were that I did it all free (no backstroke) and I used fins throughout. I was attempting to get in a manageable rhythm so I wasn't just swimming in slow mo and to hold a 4 beat kick. I feel like I somewhat accomplished this. I may do a couple more of these type workouts before Savageman on Sept. 19. But, geez, what a loooong main set.
I was worried about losing count on these. So instead of counting lengths like a sprinter, I counted by 100s. Isn't that how you D folks do it?
First week back: 5 x swim, 2 x drylands and 1x yoga. Still want to shift into more drylands, but I can't do this right out of the box. I took one rest day -- yesterday -- because I was tired and beat up from the drylands on Friday. I typically use Saturday as my rest day anyway. Onward!

The girls finally came
500 Free broken as 25,50,75,200,25,50,75,25,50,25

* I decided to re-commence this exercise using a broomstick instead of the 45 lb bar to make sure my form was good.
** My un-callused hands are no longer used to hanging! And I forgot my weight lifting gloves.
This looked like kind of an interesting exercise -- stability ball twister -- that was posted on the DF: [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYhTHh0IgRI"]YouTube- Dryland Exercises for Swimmers[/nomedia]
Later in the day, and despite hating to swim outside, I trudged over to our neighborhood pool club and did the following:
Warm up:
500 various
Petra Set:
20 x 50 free w/paddles @ 1:00 or so
(no pace clock, took some extra seconds for paddle changes)
1-5 regular paddles
6-10 reverse paddle drill
11-15 regular paddles + hypoxic
16-20 reverse paddle drill + hypoxic
I wasn't sure what Speedo meant by hypoxic when describing this set, so I interpreted it to be 2 breaths per length. I'm not used to doing restricted breathing in freestyle, so it wasn't all that easy. I used my small green Strokemaster paddles for the regular swim. I used the larger red Catalyst paddles that I found around the house for the reverse paddle drill. The felt somewhat like I imagine the fulcrum paddles would feel like -- forcing more EVF than normal. I had better DPS with this method.
Speedo posted this link on my blog yesterday, and I'm thinking of getting some of these paddles: http://www.tropicalpenguin.com/FAST_...im_Paddle.html
Hypoxic Kick:
20 x 25 w/fins @ :40
odds = dolphin kick on belly
evens = flutter kick on belly
50 dolphin dive
Total: 2100 meters
I wasn't too tired after the drylands, but I feel pretty bushed now after the swim. Still, I feel like I got in a good day of working out. My shoulders are tired, but not sore. I'm hoping to go to bikram yoga tomorrow and do swim + drylands on Sunday. Feeling fierce and motivated again.
Updated August 27th, 2010 at 10:50 PM by The Fortress
haha, I got you! I thought a catchy title might inspire more people to read my blog.
I haven't posted since school started; part too busy/tired, part just the fact that all my workouts seem to be the same and quite boring.
I have been swimming a lot for me! (18-24 thousand meters a week) and I've come to the conclusion that quantity doesn't make me happy or faster. I plan to cut back and rest up the week before Big Shoulder's but right now I'd have to predict I'm going to have a disappointing swim.
If I make it to Gino's East deep dish pizza, get a brownie from the place at Water Tower, and buy some cute clothing item I will consider the trip a victory!
Oh Big Shoulder's will be my first race as a 55 year old! I will consider that some sort of personal victory too!

Data warehousing
Analysis of issues in data warehousing, with extensive coverage of database management systems and data warehouse appliances that are optimized to query large volumes of data. Related subjects include:
Interana has an interesting story, in technology and business model alike. For starters:
- Interana does ad-hoc event series analytics, which they call "interactive behavioral analytics solutions".
- Interana has a full-stack analytic offering, include:
- Its own columnar DBMS …
- … which has a non-SQL DML (Data Manipulation Language) meant to handle event series a lot more fluently than SQL does, but which the user is never expected to learn because …
- … there also are BI-like visual analytics tools that support plenty of drilldown.
- Interana sells all this to "product" departments rather than marketing, because marketing doesn't sufficiently value Interana's ad-hoc query flexibility.
- Interana boasts >40 customers, with annual subscription fees ranging from high 5 figures to low 7 digits.
And to be clear — if we leave aside any questions of marketing-name sizzle, this really is business intelligence. The closest Interana comes to helping with predictive modeling is giving its ad-hoc users inspiration as to where they should focus their modeling attention.
Interana also has an interesting twist in its business model, which I hope can be used successfully by other enterprise software startups as well. Read more
Analyzing the right data
0. A huge fraction of what's important in analytics amounts to making sure that you are analyzing the right data. To a large extent, "the right data" means "the right subset of your data".
1. In line with that theme:
- Relational query languages, at their core, subset data. Yes, they all also do arithmetic, and many do more math or other processing than just that. But it all starts with the set theory.
- Underscoring the power of this approach, other data architectures over which analytics is done usually wind up with SQL or "SQL-like" language access as well.
2. Business intelligence interfaces today don't look that different from what we had in the 1980s or 1990s. The biggest visible* changes, in my opinion, have been in the realm of better drilldown, ala QlikView and then Tableau. Drilldown, of course, is the main UI for business analysts and end users to subset data themselves.
*I used the word "visible" on purpose. The advances at the back end have been enormous, and much of that redounds to the benefit of BI.
3. I wrote 2 1/2 years ago that sophisticated predictive modeling commonly fit the template:
- Divide your data into clusters.
- Model each cluster separately.
That continues to be tough work. Attempts to productize shortcuts have not caught fire.

Introduction to SequoiaDB and SequoiaCM
For starters, let me say:
- SequoiaDB, the company, is my client.
- SequoiaDB, the product, is the main product of SequoiaDB, the company.
- SequoiaDB, the company, has another product line SequoiaCM, which subsumes SequoiaDB in content management use cases.
- SequoiaDB, the product, is fundamentally a JSON data store. But it has a relational front end …
- … and is usually sold for RDBMS-like use cases …
- … except when it is sold as part of SequoiaCM, which adds in a large object/block store and a content-management-oriented library.
- SequoiaDB's products are open source.
- SequoiaDB's largest installation seems to be 2 PB across 100 nodes; that includes block storage.
- Figures for DBMS-only database sizes aren't as clear, but the sweet spot of the cluster-size range for such use cases seems to be 6-30 nodes.
- SequoiaDB, the company, was founded in Toronto, by former IBM DB2 folks.
- Even so, it's fairly accurate to view SequoiaDB as a Chinese company. Specifically:
- SequoiaDB's founders were Chinese nationals.
- Most of them went back to China.
- Other employees to date have been entirely Chinese.
- Sales to date have been entirely in China, but SequoiaDB has international aspirations
- SequoiaDB has >100 employees, a large majority of which are split fairly evenly between "engineering" and "implementation and technical support".
- SequoiaDB's marketing (as opposed to sales) department is astonishingly tiny.
- SequoiaDB cites >100 subscription customers, including 10 in the global Fortune 500, a large fraction of which are in the banking sector. (Other sectors mentioned repeatedly are government and telecom.)
Unfortunately, SequoiaDB has not captured a lot of detailed information about unpaid open source production usage.

Notes on the transition to the cloud
1. The cloud is super-hot. Duh. And so, like any hot buzzword, "cloud" means different things to different marketers. Four of the biggest things that have been called "cloud" are:
- The Amazon cloud, Microsoft Azure, and their competitors, aka public cloud.
- Software as a service, aka SaaS.
- Co-location in off-premises data centers, aka colo.
- On-premises clusters (truly on-prem or colo as the case may be) designed to run a broad variety of applications, aka private cloud.
Further, there's always the idea of hybrid cloud, in which a vendor peddles private cloud systems (usually appliances) running similar technology stacks to what they run in their proprietary public clouds. A number of vendors have backed away from such stories, but a few are still pushing it, including Oracle and Microsoft.
This is a good example of Monash's Laws of Commercial Semantics.
2. Due to economies of scale, only a few companies should operate their own data centers, aka true on-prem(ises). The rest should use some combination of colo, SaaS, and public cloud.
This fact now seems to be widely understood.
"Real-time" is getting real
I've been an analyst for 35 years, and debates about "real-time" technology have run through my whole career. Some of those debates are by now pretty much settled. In particular:
- Yes, interactive computer response is crucial.
- Into the 1980s, many apps were batch-only. Demand for such apps dried up.
- Business intelligence should occur at interactive speeds, which is a major reason that there's a market for high-performance analytic RDBMS.
- Theoretical arguments about "true" real-time vs. near-real-time are often pointless.
- What matters in most cases is human users' perceptions of speed.
- Most of the exceptions to that rule occur when machines race other machines, for example in automated bidding (high frequency trading or otherwise) or in network security.
A big issue that does remain open is: How fresh does data need to be? My preferred summary answer is: As fresh as is needed to support the best decision-making. I think that formulation starts with several advantages:
- It respects the obvious point that different use cases require different levels of data freshness.
- It cautions against people who think they need fresh information but aren't in a position to use it. (Such users have driven much bogus "real-time" demand in the past.)
- It covers cases of both human and automated decision-making.
Straightforward applications of this principle include: Read more
Are analytic RDBMS and data warehouse appliances obsolete?
I used to spend most of my time — blogging and consulting alike — on data warehouse appliances and analytic DBMS. Now I'm barely involved with them. The most obvious reason is that there have been drastic changes in industry structure:
- Many of the independent vendors were swooped up by acquisition.
- None of those acquisitions was a big success.
- Microsoft did little with DATAllegro.
- Netezza struggled with R&D after being bought by IBM. An IBMer recently told me that their main analytic RDBMS engine was BLU.
- I hear about Vertica more as a technology to be replaced than as a significant ongoing market player.
- Pivotal open-sourced Greenplum. I have detected few people who care.
- Ditto for Actian's offerings.
- Teradata claimed a few large Aster accounts, but I never hear of Aster as something to compete or partner with.
- Smaller vendors fizzled too. Hadapt and Kickfire went to Teradata as more-or-less acquihires. InfiniDB folded. Etc.
- Impala and other Hadoop-based alternatives are technology options.
- Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and to some extent SAP/Sybase are still pedaling along … but I rarely talk with companies that big.
Simply reciting all that, however, begs the question of whether one should still care about analytic RDBMS at all.
My answer, in a nutshell, is:
Analytic RDBMS — whether on premises in software, in the form of data warehouse appliances, or in the cloud – are still great for hard-core business intelligence, where "hard-core" can refer to ad-hoc query complexity, reporting/dashboard concurrency, or both. But they aren't good for much else.
More about Databricks and Spark
Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi checked in because he disagreed with part of my recent post about Databricks. Ali's take on Databricks' position in the Spark world includes:
- What I called Databricks' "secondary business" of "licensing stuff to Spark distributors" was really about second/third tier support. Fair enough. But distributors of stacks including Spark, for whatever combination of on-premise and cloud as the case may be, may in many cases be viewed as competitors to Databricks cloud-only service. So why should Databricks help them?
- Databricks' investment in Spark Summit and similar evangelism is larger than I realized.
- Ali suggests that the fraction of Databricks' engineering devoted to open source Spark is greater than I understood during my recent visit.
Ali also walked me through customer use cases and adoption in wonderful detail. In general:
- A large majority of Databricks customers have machine learning use cases.
- Predicting and preventing user/customer churn is a huge issue across multiple market sectors.
The story on those sectors, per Ali, is: Read more
Notes from a long trip, July 19, 2016
For starters:
- I spent three weeks in California on a hybrid personal/business trip. I had a bunch of meetings, but not three weeks' worth.
- The timing was awkward for most companies I wanted to see. No blame accrues to those who didn't make themselves available.
- I came back with a nasty cough. Follow-up phone calls aren't an option until next week.
- I'm impatient to start writing. Hence tonight's posts. But it's difficult for a man and his cough to be productive at the same time.
A running list of recent posts is:
- As a companion to this post, I'm publishing a very long one on vendor lock-in.
- Spark and Databricks are both prospering, and of course enhancing their technology as well.
- Ditto DataStax.
- Flink is interesting as the streaming technology it's now positioned to be, rather than the overall Spark alternative it used to be positioned as but which the world didn't need.
Subjects I'd like to add to that list include:
- MemSQL, Zoomdata, and Neo Technology (also prospering).
- Cloudera (multiple topics, as usual).
- Analytic SQL engines ("traditional" analytic RDBMS aren't doing well).
- Microsoft's reinvention (it feels real).
- Metadata (it's ever more of a thing).
- Machine learning (it's going to be a big portion of my research going forward).
- Transitions to the cloud — this subject affects almost everything else.
Readings in Database Systems
Mike Stonebraker and Larry Ellison have numerous things in common. If nothing else:
- They're both titanic figures in the database industry.
- They both gave me testimonials on the home page of my business website.
- They both have been known to use the present tense when the future tense would be more accurate.
I mention the latter because there's a new edition of Readings in Database Systems, aka the Red Book, available online, courtesy of Mike, Joe Hellerstein and Peter Bailis. Besides the recommended-reading academic papers themselves, there are 12 survey articles by the editors, and an occasional response where, for example, editors disagree. Whether or not one chooses to tackle the papers themselves — and I in fact have not dived into them — the commentary is of great interest.
But I would not take every word as the gospel truth, especially when academics describe what they see as commercial market realities. In particular, as per my quip in the first paragraph, the data warehouse market has not yet gone to the extremes that Mike suggests,* if indeed it ever will. And while Joe is close to correct when he says that the company Essbase was acquired by Oracle, what actually happened is that Arbor Software, which made Essbase, merged with Hyperion Software, and the latter was eventually indeed bought by the giant of Redwood Shores.**
*When it comes to data warehouse market assessment, Mike seems to often be ahead of the trend.
**Let me interrupt my tweaking of very smart people to confess that my own commentary on the Oracle/Hyperion deal was not, in retrospect, especially prescient.
Mike pretty much opened the discussion with a blistering attack against hierarchical data models such as JSON or XML. To a first approximation, his views might be summarized as: Read more
The questionably named Cloudera Navigator Optimizer
I only have mixed success at getting my clients to reach out to me for messaging advice when they're introducing something new. Cloudera Navigator Optimizer, which is being announced along with Cloudera 5.5, is one of my failures in that respect; I heard about it for the first time Tuesday afternoon. I hate the name. I hate some of the slides I saw. But I do like one part of the messaging, namely the statement that this is about "refactoring" queries.
All messaging quibbles aside, I think the Cloudera Navigator Optimizer story is actually pretty interesting, and perhaps not just to users of SQL-on-Hadoop technologies such as Hive (which I guess I'd put in that category for simplicity) or Impala. As I understand Cloudera Navigator Optimizer:
- It's all about analytic SQL queries.
- Specifically, it's about reducing duplicated work.
- It is not an "optimizer" in the ordinary RDBMS sense of the word.
- It's delivered via SaaS (Software as a Service).
- Conceptually, it's not really tied to SQL-on-Hadoop. However, …
- … in practice it likely will be used by customers who want to optimize performance of Cloudera's preferred styles of SQL-on-Hadoop, either because they're already using SQL-on-Hadoop or in connection with an initial migration.

One of the advantages of porcelain tile is that it can generally be used outdoors in a freeze/thaw environment. Because there are few pores in the tile to absorb water, the issue of the tile breaking when the water freezes is minimized. This has opened modern tile up to a wide range of new, outdoor applications, but also has presented some challenges.
As a vertical surface, porcelain tile can be used outdoors in a number of applications. In fact, cutting-edge building designers are starting to routinely use tile as an outdoor cladding material due to its durability, reflectivity, and good looks.
For years, the tile industry said resolutely that tile shouldn't be used outside as a horizontal surface on which people will walk. The reason for that is because tile (and other hard surface flooring like concrete, pavers, stone, etc) can be slippery when it gets wet, icy, oily, covered in leaves, etc. However, this position has evolved, recognizing that many people want to use tiles outside due to their durability, lower maintenance, and because they fit with their décor.
The standard measurement for resistance to slipping is called Coefficient of Friction, or COF for short. Even today, there is no definitive way to say 'if a tile has a COF of such and such, you won't slip on it.' There are just too many variables such as what contaminants may be on the tile, what kind of shoes (if any) you are wearing, how fast you are going, etc. We publish COF ratings as a general guideline, but if you are planning to use tile (or stone) outdoors, you must keep in mind that these numbers are only one small piece of the big picture.
Ultimately, it is up to each customer and their installer to decide if the tile they select is a good fit for their outdoor installation. A tile that is under a porch roof and sheltered from the elements will pose less slipping potential than one that is outside, uncovered, and subject to standing water, ice, and snow. Due to the inherent properties of tile, no one can guarantee that tile will never be slippery, particularly if exposed to the elements and not properly maintained. We do our best to educate our customers, and their installers, on the benefits and potential issues with tile. As a service to our customers, we make the following general recommendations:
Can be used outdoors with some exposure to the elements. To minimize slip hazards, care must be exercised in keeping the tile clean and free of debris:
Customers wishing to install tile, or any hard surface, in outdoor applications must take special care to select the right materials, and should recognize the additional maintenance requirements necessary to ensure safety and performance of the surface. Please consult with your authorized Florida Tile dealer and a qualified installer to ensure the tile you select will meet your needs.

George Takei will marry Brad Altman today in Los Angeles, mere months after California's Supreme Court lifted the ban on gay marriage.
George Takei, 71, who is best known for his role as Mr. Sulu on Star Trek, said, "We've been living in sin for the past 21 years. It's high time we made it legitimate."
George Takei's gay marriage to his 54-year-old partner is getting a lot of media buzz, just as several other gay celebrity couples have managed to stir up recently, like Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi and Lindsay Lohan her lover, DJ Samantha Ronson.
"The wedding party includes two of Takei's former Star Trek castmates best man Walter Koenig, who played Chekov on the series, and Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura," People.com says.

Davis, Calif. – University of Nevada (4-8) catcher Travis Simas singled in the top of the 11th to score first baseman Shaun Kort with the winning run as the Wolf Pack defeated UC Davis (2-9) 2-1 in 11-innings at Dobbins Stadium in Davis, Calif. Tuesday afternoon. With the victory the Pack improved to 4-8 while the Aggies fell to 2-9 on the season. The victory was the 799th in head coach Gary Powers career, all coming at Nevada.
With the score tied 1-1 heading into the top of the 11th Kort walked with one down and third baseman Tyson Jaquez' single through the right side moved him into scoring position. Simas, who had come off the bench in the eighth inning, singled through the left side to score Kort with the winning run. Reliever Sammy Miller retired the side in the bottom of the 11th to preserve the win.
After seven scoreless innings the Pack struck first in the top of the eighth inning with a single run. With two down right fielder Brett Hart singled and scored on pinch hitter Nick Melino's single to right field that got by the Aggie defender.
UCD scratched out a run in the bottom of the ninth inning to force extra innings. With one down shortstop Scott Heylman singled and Corbin Cutshaw pinch ran. Cutshaw was cut down at second base by Simas trying to steal for the second out of the inning. The next three hitters reached base with third baseman Ty Kelly driving home the tying run with his RBI single. With the bases loaded Miller got right fielder Ryan Scoma to fly out to end the inning which allowed the Pack to keep the game tied and score the winning run in the 11th.
Miller (2-0) earned the victory pitching three innings in which he allowed one run on four hits. In total seven Pack pitchers took the mound in the game. Tim Busbin (0-1) the fifth UCD pitcher suffered the loss allowing the run in the 11th.
Jaquez (2-for-4) and Hart (2-for-4) had two hits each as the Pack totaled eight in the game. Kelly (2-for-4,RBI) and first baseman Eric Johnson (2-for-4) had two hits apiece for the Aggies as they totaled 11.
Next action for the Pack is Thursday when Oregon comes to Peccole Park to begin a four-game series with first pitch scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
Times Changed For Nevada Versus Oregon Baseball Games
The times for the University of Nevada versus Oregon baseball games scheduled for Thursday and Friday at Peccole Park in Reno, Nev. have been changed to 1:00 p.m. in order to better accommodate Wolf Pack fans who wish to attend the Western Athletic Conference basketball tournament at Lawlor Events Center.

The old, unwanted designation — in the name of an MCB entity that no longer legally existed — was used as a placeholder until finally, two years later, Ali-Salaam found backers to rescue the project. In October 1998, he recommended that the BRA hand the designation over to a completely different group of developers: the Cambridge-based ISB. The BRA board of directors approved the substitution, after a meeting in which Ali-Salaam personally made a presentation and answered questions about the project from the directors.
Swapping out developers happens on occasion, Boston developers say, and it is not even unheard of for the BRA to go out looking for a new backer to save a project.
But some critics of development under the current mayor say that this is evidence of how Menino operates. Whether or not this is sound practice depends on your point of view. "That just never would have happened" under the BRA as it operated under Flynn's administration, says one former high-ranking city official. "If people could not perform, they got de-designated. . . . At the end of the day, you're not in the business of getting what they [the developers] want done."
In addition to Menino, Wilkerson was a key supporter of the mosque project at the time — several people close to the project say that her influence was critical to its success. Wilkerson, who entered the State Senate in 1995, less than a year after Menino became mayor, was also a vocal critic of what she felt were his insufficient efforts to spur development in Boston's black neighborhoods, particularly in Lower Roxbury.
Wilkerson is one of three elected officials thanked in the mosque project's annual report released last year, along with City Councilors Felix Arroyo (now out of office) and Chuck Turner. Earlier this year, the current mosque group, MAS-Boston, hired a "Summer Public Sphere Intern" — who was placed in Wilkerson's State House office.
Wilkerson expressed optimism about the mosque project, but declined to discuss it in detail when approached by the Phoenix this summer, prior to the accusations of bribery and corruption she now faces. She offered praise for Ali-Salaam, with whom she has worked on several development projects in her district, and with whom sources say Wilkerson is close.
If Menino and Wilkerson were backing the mosque for its benefits to the Greater Roxbury black community — a requirement for BRA approval — they seem to have erred in supporting the re-designation to the ISB group that Ali-Salaam brought in, which is not African-American.
The ISB is a suburban, immigrant group of Muslims who have been drawn from around the world, primarily from the Middle East and South Asia, to the area's universities, research centers, and hospitals. And, according to many local black Muslims, including some who were involved in the initial development, the ISB has, from the beginning, not seemed eager to include them. A project that had originally been conceived as a collaborative effort among all the local Sunni mosques, they say, became the exclusive project of one outside group.
"They [the ISB] didn't have a sense of the indigenous Muslims and our history," says Imam Taleeb Mahdee of Masjid al-Quran, a Dorchester mosque on Intervale Street. "They were looking for space. We were looking for something to represent Boston."

As the stalemate between Russia and Greenpeace continues over the fate of 30 activists detained after a protest last month aimed at stopping Russian Arctic ocean oil drilling, both sides are using the on-going Arctic Circle forum in Reykjavik, Iceland, as a way to gain sympathy for their positions.
The two sides crossed paths today as Kumi Naidoo, the head of Greenpeace international, held an impromptu, face-to-face discussion with Anton Chilingarov, a polar explorer who is here as the official representative of the Russian government.
The two exchanged viewpoints over the activists, as well as the broader topic of Arctic oil exploration.
Protest against the drilling, not the drillersNaidoo had earlier today stated that the protest was targeted "not against a country, but at the destruction of a critical ecological resource". He also said he had been informed by oil industry technicians that "even in best case scenario it would be impossible to contain Arctic oil spill".
But while the said the two came to no conclusion about how to end the impasse, they felt they had created an "atmosphere of optimism" and exchanged contact details in the hopes they could speak furhter.
Priort to meeting with Naidoo, Chilingarov told an audience that he felt the emergence of a non-governmental forum such as the Arctic Circle, meant "there was no need for Greenpeace 'piracy'."
SEE RELATED: Greenpeace activists threatened with prosecution
The Greenpeace activists being held in Russia were initially detained on charges of piracy, although Vladimir Putin, Russia's president, later said it was obvious they had not engaged in such actions.
More protests to comeNaidoo, who also spoke with other Russian officials today, told journalists that even with the arrests last month Greenpeace would continue its protests as one of a number of tools it was using to pressure oil companies to stop Arctic exploration.
"Greenpeace is not in position to not engage in another protest. Rather, they are more likely to intensify," he said. "The challenge of catastrophic climate change is bigger than all previous [rights] struggles."
Addressing Russian charges that illegal drugs were found aboard the Arctic Sunrise, the Greenpeace vessel impounded after the incident, Naidoo said the ship had been swept by Norwegian authorities before sailing for Russia, and found to be drug free.
He stopped short of saying that Russian authorities were seeking to frame the activists. According to Naidoo, medical morphine and a type of Argentinean tea were found in the Russian sweep.


text: Now this may sound like a very new guy question to some, but I know people have differing opinions, and I would like a few on the subject. I just picked up a brand new Fiskar's "x15" 23.5" axe today. (pic below) First I would like your opinion on the fiskar's brand. I know it is not a whetterlings or a bruks, but from what I have heard this axe would be #3 if those were the top two. Is this accurate? Second, I picked up a 6x2x3/4in. coarse/fine combo stone today for the axe, my other axe's knives, ect. The stone itself recommends honing oil. I know there are petroleum based oils, and water based oils. All I ever used sharpening in the past was either spit on the stone or give it a quick dip in whatever clean water was handy. Is this a viable method? It's what I was taught. Was I taught wrong? Will it harm the stone or blade being sharpened by not using oil? Is water better? Spit? You get the idea. I want to do the right thing, the right way, as some of these tools we use in bushcrafting and outdoor living are very expensive, and I need the ones I have to last a lifetime, so I do not usually buy cheap stuff, and I can't afford to replace it. (you get what you pay for is always true) Anyway, please let me know what you think and why, and what your personal experiences, or methods are. Many thanks.

Yeah, I figured derringers were their own category because of the whole two barrel thing.
Nope, not lucky enough to carry concealed out here, but back in my native Ohio I get to whenever I go home. I would never live here voluntarily, although for a week of vacation it would be a nice place. I do get to carry a M16A4 around out here though, which when we do humps and stuff a column of 800 guys with all weapons organic to an infantry battalion marching down the road draws some looks.
Back to snubbies, for anyone shooting one in .357 how the heck does anyone control a J frame in .357 with the stock grips? My Rossi is fine with its stock grips, but my whole hand fits them nice, I can control it much better than my 638 in rapid firing.
Also, do all .357 snubbies have one heck of a "back blast" for lack of a better term? Like a pressure wave that goes back and to the sides and almost feels like gettin popped in the nose? Because mine does, and its appreciable.

Tunica touted as bird capital
Editor's Note: This information was compiled by Jeanine Walton and submitted on behalf of Tunica Main Street's Promotion Committee. Information was obtained at www.chuckspurplemartinpage.com
Did you know that Tunica, Mississippi is the Purple Martin Capital of the State of Mississippi?
To celebrate this auspicious title, Tunica Main Street is encouraging the residents of Tunica to get active in attracting and keeping these birds migrating to our community by putting up several Martin birdhouses in your yard.
Teacher charged with sexual battery
A former teacher is facing criminal charges in the wake of allegations by a student.
Melvin Glass, 55, of Hernando turned himself in to the Tunica County Sheriff's Department last week, following an investigation into an incident that occured in December 2011. Glass has been accused of fondling a student on the campus of Rosa Fort High School, where he was employed as a teacher at the David Williams Career Technical Center.
Vote Tuesday, just not this one
News reports are touting Super Tuesday next week, March 6, but Mississippi is not one of the states that will be voting that day. (Tennessee votes March 6.) Instead, local voters will head to the polls the following Tuesday, March 13, for the Presidential Primary Election.

Reporting in the New Haven Independent:
An 18-year-old girl told police she was in the crosswalk when she was hit by a car on Farnham Avenue on Tuesday night. The 83-year-old woman who hit her told cops the teen wasn't using the crosswalk.
As is often the case when vehicles mow down pedestrians, the driver was not charged. In many other countries, they would have automatically been found to be at fault by the law, unless specifically proven otherwise (given that they are operating a more powerful vehicle).
Luckily for the student who was hit, the driver appears to have been traveling at a slow speed, perhaps encouraged by the presence of an in road pedestrian sign.

Pedestrian Struck by Car at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) in New Haven

I witnessed the incident and this article is absurd. The driver was traveling at a quick speed and the girl was using the crosswalk. Thank God she is ok!

Should say "relatively" slow- if the driver had been far exceeding the speed limit here, as most cars do, it is unlikely that the student would have been out of the hospital. At 40 MPH, virtually all crashes result in a pedestrian fatality. Good point though!

- - Winter Storage Recommendations? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/long-island/68446-winter-storage-recommendations.html)
Winter Storage Recommendations?
I'm looking to find a home for Dove for the winter and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations in the western sound. Port Washington would be ideal.
Anything specific questions I should ask when I call around? Any tricks to ensuring that I'll be able to get her in the water early in the season?
I'm figuring on getting her shrink-wrapped and put in dry storage. Cost is a consideration, so I'd be grateful for any tips.
Winter storage....eeeks...we still have two months left in our season
Lotsa places on City Island, if you don't mind paying the Throgs Neck Bridge toll when you go north to work on your boat.
I like Stuyvesant YC. Check ActiveCaptain - The Interactive Cruising Guidebook - Marina Reviews, Fuel Prices, Anchorages for users' reviews.
A general boatyard rule of thumb is: last in = first out.
You mentioned 'dry storage'. I may be mistaken but to me this implies storing your boat (indoors) inside a shed or hangar - some boat yards have them. This would likely be the most expensive option.
Shrink wrapping would imply that your boat would be stored outdoors on jack stands. This would be the mid-range expensive option.
Some marinas offer in-water storage which would be the cheapest option. You would still want to do a short haul in the spring for bottom maintenance though. I'm reasonably confident that this option is available in Manhasset, Glen Cove and Huntington marinas.
I'm not a fan of shrink wrapping because of the expense and the waste of materials it creates. You can buy a lot of tarps and 1x3"s for less then the $10/ft cost of shrink wrapping. Good luck whichever way you go.
Thanks for the replies!
@chef2sail - Yes way too fast. I have to have it off my mooring by Oct 15th. Still hoping to have a few more weeks of good weather.
@jjablonowski - I'll call around CI and compare prices. Tolls aren't an issue but accessibility to public transit is... Do most places let you work on your boat in the winter or should I be asking this question when I call?
@CalebD - You're right, I was contradicting myself. I'm figuring on keeping it outside, out of the water. This is my first season so all this is new to me. I do agree that shrink-wrapping seems expensive and excessive. My issue is that I don't own a vehicle so getting supplies to the yard to do it myself is a hurdle. I've searched the forums and read other's DIY tarp covers and they seem pretty elaborate. Any suggestions or links on how to do this easily would be great. It would be something I'd just use for the winter, because I don't have a place to store it. Do Marinas frown on you doing it yourself? Is this something I would need to verify before deciding on a place?
thanks again,
You are going to have to ask each yard what is allowed in terms of DIY.
I just used the rates from Brewers in Glen Cove to get you an estimate for winter storage for your 25' sailboat in the NYC area. I used them as they have their updated 2010/11 prices updated and I am familiar with their yard.
Power wash: $81 ($3.25/ft - mandatory)
Shrink wrap: $406 ($16.25/ft)
Outside storage-mast up: $1300
Total: $1787 just for the winter.
Their in-water storage fee is: $850 for your 25' boat.
Their contract makes it sound like most DIY activity is not allowed but I know one fellow who keeps his boat there and a lot of DIY activities happened on his boat.
I'd definitely look into the places on City Island for price comparison shopping. Brewers GC will likely be on the high side of estimates you get from other yards in the area.
These winter storage prices might make you think again about joining a club like Hempstead Harbor Club that provides both summer and winter services at a more reasonable yearly price.
The cheapest way to deal with this is if you had a driveway and a trailer for your boat.
Whatever you do it is going to cost something.
Good luck with your winter storage search.
I also keep my boat at Stuyvesant YC on CI. Members get first pick, but there's almost always room for strangers. Cost is about $40/ft mast in (incl discount for paying upfront). You can do whatever you want yourself or bring in pros of your choosing. NYC subway goes to Pelham Bay Park and from there a bus can bring you to CI. Check Welcome to Stuyvesant Yacht Club for more info.
Glen Cove Marina (next door to Brewers that Caleb mentioned) is $44/ft for outside storage mast up including powerwashing. You can get a 10% discount if paid in full by Sept 30. That's significantly less than Brewers. They are very good about getting you in early if you wish.
I'm also at Glen Cove marina. Cheaper than Brewers. I'm new at this, so not a lot to compare it to, but they were good to deal with. I'm headed back for this winter. If you are going to do a lot of work, be prepared to have a long extension cord. There are electrical outlets around the outside of the storage lot, but if you are in the middle of the scrum, you may need 150 feet of cordage or more to get power.
