Bridge scandal papers show depth of Christie staffers' endorsement work
Full coverage: Chris Christie and the GWB lane closure controversy
More than 400 pages of documents made public Monday present a detailed picture of Governor Christie's intertwined government and political operations, a network run by people so close to him that he became physically ill when reading a story in The Record that showed they were involved in the George Washington Bridge scandal.
Page after page of interview notes detail how staff in Christie's administration worked to secure Democratic endorsements on behalf of his reelection campaign. It was an operation that helped Christie win by 22 points, earn a majority of Latino and female voters, garner 32 percent of Democrats and set up a potential presidential bid in 2016. Now Christie's political future is in question after members of his inner circle were tied to the politically vindictive lane closures at the bridge last September.
The documents released Monday – the work of the lawyers Christie hired to review his office's involvement in the lane closures – also show that members of the administration suggested legal counsel for two key figures embroiled in the controversy: one a top aide, the other the governor's campaign manager.

Christie's lawyers, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, have sent the interview materials to Reid Schar, the attorney for the New Jersey Legislative Select Committee on Investigation and to the U.S. Attorney's Office, both of which are investigating the lane closures.
"We will review them and determine our next step," Assemblyman John Wisniewski and Sen. Loretta Weinberg, who lead the legislative committee, said in a joint statement. "We have made clear that we reserve the right to request additional materials and, as necessary, to issue subpoenas if we believe further information is required."
Christie's team of lawyers interviewed 75 individuals – many of them staff members in the State House or on the campaign – and compiled a report that cleared the governor of having any prior knowledge of the lane closures.
Critics called the 344-page report a whitewash.
The interview memos used to prepare that report contained vague summaries and few direct quotes and appear to omit explanatory details. The summaries include nearly 370 instances where those being interviewed were unable to recall details about events they were asked to discuss.
But Monday's documents also included key pieces of information that were downplayed or left out of the report altogether.
For example, some of the interviews show how a key aide in the governor's office coordinated with Christie's campaign to penalize mayors who did not endorse the governor, by instructing State House staff not to return phone calls or schedule meetings. The interviews also detail weekly meetings and conference calls between staff in the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs who served as liaisons to local elected officials and the campaign.
After one employee questioned whether it was proper for staff to be working to secure endorsements from the same mayors they worked with in their State House jobs, Christie's campaign manager got the governor's deputy chief counsel to sign off on the work so long as it was done after hours. This detail was also left out of the Gibson Dunn report.
Gibson Dunn released only its summaries of interviews Monday, including its meetings with Christie, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, governor's press secretary Michael Drewniak, chief of staff Kevin O'Dowd and the chief counsel at the time, Charles McKenna. Michael DuHaime, Christie's campaign strategist, and Reginia Egea, head of the authorities unit, which oversees the Port Authority, also were interviewed.
The notes provide some documentation for details and findings included in the report Gibson Dunn released last month. That report said Bridget Anne Kelly, the governor's deputy chief of staff at the time, and David Wildstein, a Christie appointee at the Port Authority who had since resigned, carried out the lane closures.
After announcing he had fired Kelly on Jan. 9, Christie said he was also cutting ties with Bill Stepien, his campaign manager, because he didn't like Stepien's tone in emails about the Fort Lee mayor, which The Record had also obtained.
Kelly, Wildstein and Stepien did not consent to interviews requested by Gibson Dunn. But the accounts of others who worked in the State House or on the campaign paint a picture of how endorsements were secured and what happened to local officials who didn't support Christie.
For example, Richard Constable, commissioner of the state Department of Community Affairs, acknowledged in his interview that Kelly, who oversaw the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs (referred to as "IGA") and worked with local officials, wanted him to get her approval before meeting with mayors.
"He recalled being told to clear meetings with elected officials through IGA and was told by Kelly not to meet, for example, with Jersey City Mayor Fulop," Constable said, according to the notes of his interview.
Mayor Steve Fulop has alleged that Christie's administration canceled a series of meetings, organized by Stepien, after he decided not to endorse the Republican governor. Fulop's allegations are not explored in the Gibson Dunn report. Fulop was not interviewed by the team of attorneys, which was led by Randy Mastro, a former federal prosecutor who worked in New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's administration.
The notes on Constable's interview reflect on a point the report made clear when it was released last month, specifically that Constable denied Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer's allegation that, during a May 2013 televised town hall event in Monmouth County, Superstorm Sandy aid was linked to a redevelopment project. Constable said Christie never linked aid for Sandy to politics.
The Constable interview also revealed that Port Authority Chairman David Samson checked with him in August 2013 about whether he had plans to continue serving in the administration if Christie won a second term.
The notion that Samson – who led Christie's transition team in 2009 – played a role in the governor's administration beyond his position at the Port Authority is also made clear in the summary of an interview with O'Dowd. He said Christie "tasked Samson with talking to various Cabinet members in the administration to determine their second-term plans if the governor was reelected and that O'Dowd assisted Samson in this process," according to the interview notes.
Samson has since resigned from his position at the Port Authority and declined the Gibson Dunn team's request to interview him.
Zimmer has alleged that Christie wanted her to fast-track a development proposed by a company that Samson's law firm was representing.
Richard Rebisz, an intergovernmental affairs employee assigned to communities hit by Sandy, told interviewers he did not talk to Zimmer about her decision not to endorse Christie, but that Christina Renna, a supervisor in intergovernmental affairs, told him "not to bend over backwards for Mayor Zimmer."

Who was Sandy Flash?
Chester County has its fair share of legends and stories but one of the most intriguing over the years has always been that of "Sandy Flash" who terrorized the countryside during the Revolutionary period until he was finally captured and hanged in 1778. Though the various stories about Sandy Flash vary greatly, there are some features that remain consistent from one story to the next.
His real name was James Fitzpatrick, commonly known as either Fitz or Fitch and he was the son of an Irishman of quite modest means and was indentured as an blacksmithing apprentice to John Passmore of Doe Run. He served the full term of his apprenticeship and became known locally as a good judge of horses. He served in several local establishments as a journeyman until the outbreak of the War, at which time he enlisted in the military service and was attached to the Flying Camp.
Military life, however, was not quite his thing, apparently, as he deserted after being flogged for an indiscretion of some sort. In the middle of the night, he took off, swimming across the Hudson, and then crossing New Jersey and entering Philadelphia, intent on making it back to his Chester County home. His luck ran out in Philadelphia, however, and he was apprehended and imprisoned for a time in the Walnut Street prison. Once again, however, he managed to escape and made his way back to his home. For awhile, he kept a low profile, content to work at his trade quietly.
No doubt the subsequent hatred that Fitzpatrick showed toward the patriot cause and the local Whigs was first bred by his handling in the military, but it was certainly heightened when he was apprehended in the summer of 1777 while working in his late master's fields in Doe Run. Only by shrewdness did he manage to elude his would-be captors. Because he probably believed that the local Whigs had alerted the authorities about him, he extracted his revenge upon any unfortunate Whig that crossed his path.
During the course of the year following, Fitzpatrick and his partner in crime, Mordecai Dougherty, most likely a childhood friend, steadily terrorized the local population, focusing on Whigs and tax collectors but leaving the local Tories alone. In fact, it can be imagined that Fitz escaped capture for quite awhile because of the aid given him by the local Tories.
For a more extensive look at some of the escapades of Sandy Flash, I've included below the full text of Ashmead's article about Sandy Flash:
James Fitzpatrick.—The character of "Sandy Flash," in Bayard Taylor's "Story of Kennett," is founded on the adventures and the deeds of a sturdy freebooter, who for more than a twelvemonth kept the good people of the county of Chester in constant alarm and dread by his audacious and frequent crimes. The name of James Fitzpatrick in Chester and Delaware Counties is still surrounded with that peculiar glamour of crime which is so often associated with the acts of bold, bad men, and to this day his deeds are recalled by the representatives of the old families of this section with no little local pride, for the subject of their theme was, at least, no ordinary desperado.
James Fitzpatrick was born in Chester County, and when quite a lad was indentured by his father, an Irish emigrant in indigent circumstances, to John Passmore, of Doe Run, as an apprentice to the trade of blacksmithing. His early life was distinguished by no unusual incidents. He worked faithfully at the anvil until he attained his majority and acquired some local prominence as a shoer, and was known the neighborhood round as an excellent judge of horses. His bodily strength is said to have been enormous, his physical endurance noticeable, and he conspicuously excelled all the young men of the locality where he resided in athletic sports. Personally he was handsome; above the average height in stature, he was erect and graceful in carriage, his complexion florid, his features well formed, his eyes a clear bright blue in color, and his hair sandy and luxuriant. On several occasions he had exhibited extraordinary personal courage, circumstances which, subsequently remembered, increased the alarm of the Whigs when Fitzpatrick became an active, unscrupulous partisan of the cause of the king.
After serving the full term of his apprenticeship with Mr. Passmore, he worked as a journeyman at several forges in the county until the outbreak of the Revolutionary war, when he enlisted in the military service of the province. Subsequently, in the shaping of events, he became attached to the Flying Camp, and accompanied that organization to the city of New York. There, for some slight breach of military discipline, he was punished by flogging. The penalty imposed for his dereliction was more than he would bear, and deserting in the night-time, he swam the Hudson River, and made his way across New Jersey to Philadelphia, intending to proceed to his home in Chester County. In the latter city he was recognized, apprehended, and being absent without leave of his commanding officers, was lodged in the old Walnut Street prison, whence he was released on consenting to re-enter the Continental army, for at that time men were eagerly sought for to bear arms. The imprisonment was resented by Fitzpatrick as a wrong that had been done him; therefore, at the first opportunity which presented itself, he again deserted and returned to his home in Chester County, where, for a time, he worked honestly at his trade and in odd jobs at harvesting for the farmers in the neighborhood.
During the summer of 1777, Fitzpatrick, with several other men, was mowing in the field of his late master, John Passmore, in West Marlborough township, when he was taken into custody as a deserter by two Continental soldiers, who had been sent from Wilmington to arrest him. Fitzpatrick having been captured by surprise, was compelled to resort to subterfuge to recover his liberty. By a plausible story respecting clothing that he would require, and a request to be permitted to bid good-by to his aged mother, he prevailed upon the soldiers (who were instructed to bring their captive to Wilmington) to accompany him to his mother's residence, a tenant-house on Mr. Passmore's land. When they reached the dwelling, Fitzpatrick opened the door and quickly grasped his rifle from behind it, where he was accustomed to keep that firearm, leveled it at the soldiers, and swore that he would kill them if they did not leave immediately. They had learned sufficiently of the determination of character of their prisoner to believe that he would not hesitate an instant to make his threat good; hence, acting upon the better part of valor, they hastily retreated. Fitzpatrick, as soon as the men had fled, returned to the meadow where he had been at work, and renewed his labor as coolly as if no unusual incident had occurred to disturb the placidity of his every-day life.
The implacable hatred to the patriot cause which was engendered in the mind of Fitzpatrick as the result of corporal punishment inflicted on him while with the Continental army in New York soon had the opportunity to vent itself upon the Whigs of Chester County, whom he believed had betrayed his whereabouts to the colonial military authorities. On the 25th of August, 1777, the British forces, eighteen thousand men, under Gen. Howe, landed at the head of the Elk, in the movement against Philadelphia which resulted in the capture of that city. Fitzpatrick promptly repaired to the camp of the British army, was subsequently present at the battle of Brandywine, and accompanied the victorious enemy to Philadelphia, from which city he made many petty plundering excursions into Chester County, in which predatory expeditions he was accompanied by Mordecai Dougherty, a Tory from the same neighborhood whence Fitzpatrick came. The latter had been reared in the family of Nathan Hayes, residing near Doe Run, and, as supposed, the two worthies had known each other in their youth. After Fitzpatrick joined the English forces, he always spoke of himself as captain, and dubbed Dougherty with the title of lieutenant; but whether either of them were ever commissioned as such by Sir William Howe is very doubtful.
In June, 1778, while Fitzpatrick and his associate were engaged in one of these predatory raids, the British army evacuated Philadelphia, and the two men determined to remain in Chester County and carry on the war as an independent, irregular body. To that end they made their headquarters at a point known as Hand's Pass, near the present town of Coatesville, and had also secluded hiding-places along the Brandywine in Newland and West Bradford townships, one of which, J. Smith Futhey says, "was on the high hill on the west side of the creek, near the present Marshall's Station, on the Wilmington and Reading Railroad." From these retired places of concealment Fitzpatrick and Dougherty issued to make desperate expeditions, or to undertake daring adventures, which, in a short time, rendered their names a terror to the Whigs of that neighborhood, for, as to the Tories, they regarded them as their friends, and never molested them. The collectors of the public revenue, however, were their especial prey, and oftentimes unfortunate tax-gatherers who fell in their way were made the victims of the utmost brutality. Frequently, after stripping them of all their money, they would tie the unhappy officials to convenient trees and flog them unmercifully. On one occasion, one of these men was not only robbed of a large sum of money by Fitzpatrick and his companion, but he was taken to one of their hidden lurking-places in the woods, where he was, detained for two weeks, to the consternation of his family, who could only account for his absence by the supposition that he had been murdered.
At another time two tax-collectors, armed with muskets, met a man walking alone whom they did not know, and entered into conversation with him. During the interview one of the officials inquired of the stranger whether he had seen Fitzpatrick, or if he could give him any information as to the whereabouts of that individual, remarking at the same time that he rather preferred that he should encounter that person, for if he did, he, Fitzpatrick, should not escape from him so easily as he had done from other collectors who had fallen in with him. The stranger continued the conversation a few minutes longer, when, turning suddenly upon the men, he disarmed them both, then quietly informed them that he was Capt. Fitzpatrick, and that he would be obliged to them for their money. From the boastful Capt. McGowan, one of the collectors, he took his watch, but as the latter said it was a family relic, doubly valuable to him on that account, he returned it promptly. Capt. McGowan wore his hair in a neat queue, of which he was very vain, and as a particular indignity Fitzpatrick cut it off close to his head. He also despoiled the unfortunate military officer of his sword and pistols, and then tied him to a tree and administered a sound flagellation. At its conclusion Fitzpatrick informed the crestfallen man that he had heard him, McGowan, boasting while at an inn a few miles distant, what he would do with him should he encounter him, and he had therefore given him the opportunity to make his boast good. A local writer of the rude verse of the period in commemorating Fitzpatrick's exploits alludes thus to this incident:
"Some he did rob, then let them go free,
Bold Capt. McGowan he tied to a tree.
Some he did whip and some he did spare,
He caught Capt. McGowan and cut off his hair."
Subsequently, when the outlaw was in chains in his cell in the jail at Chester, Capt. McGowan visited Fitzpatrick to inquire what he had done with the sword and pistols he had taken from him. The prisoner asked him if he remembered the tavern where he had expressed his wish to meet him, and the tree to which he was tied to be flogged by the man he was looking for. These questions were answered in the affirmative. Thereupon Fitzpatrick told him that about three hundred yards to the southwest of that tree he would find his sword and pistols, concealed between the bark and wood of a decayed oak log. It is stated that the arms were found at the place thus designated.
The audacious courage of the man frequently manifested itself in the most reckless acts of bravado on his part. On one occasion fifty or more persons, all well armed, gathered together with the avowed purpose of taking Fitzpatrick, dead or alive, but being unsuccessful in their search they repaired to an inn, where, seated upon the porch, they discussed the recent exploits of the outlaw and the liquors of the tavern at the same time, until the crowd became excited, and many of the men expressed a desire to meet Fitzpatrick, who was well known to almost every one present. Suddenly, during the heat of the conversation, the outlaw, with his rifle in his hands, presented himself before them, called for a glass of liquor, drank it, and after paying for it withdrew as quietly as he had come, excepting, as he backed off, he announced that he would shoot the first man who stirred to molest him. Then walking backward, holding his rifle menacingly toward the body of men, he moved away until he had attained, as he regarded, a sufficient distance from his enemies, when he turned and fled into the woods.
Several weeks before the British army evacuated Philadelphia, Fitzpatrick and Dougherty, in one of their expeditions from that city, repaired to the houses of Joseph Luckey and Peter Burgardine, where they committed acts of the most flagrant lawlessness. The whole neighborhood was aroused by the outrages, and Col. Andrew Boyd, the then lieutenant of the county, wrote to the Executive Council of Pennsylvania that he had caused diligent search to be made for the culprits, but unsuccessfully, as the loyalists of Newlin and adjoining townships aided and secreted the male-factors. Council thereupon declared the two men outlaws, and offered a reward of a thousand dollars for their arrest, or a like sum for that of Fitzpatrick alone. The Whigs of Chester County thereupon made cause against the men, and repeatedly large bands assembled to capture the outlaws, and numerous plans were resorted to to effect that object. Nevertheless the best-laid schemes looking to that end miscarried, the proscribed men eluded every ambushment, and by fresh outrages, in other sections of the county, added to the consternation which their deeds had created among the patriots. It is related that on one occasion a meeting of the Whigs was called at a tavern on the West Chester road to devise plans for the capture of Fitzpatrick and his companion. With amazing effrontery Fitzpatrick presented himself in disguise at the assembly. A militia captain present rendered himself peculiarly conspicuous by his repeated declarations that he wanted to see Fitzpatrick, whom he had never met, and volunteered to capture him and bring him to justice. The outlaw, who had heard these boasts, unperceived took a candlestick from the mantel-shelf, secreted it in his pocket, and then approaching the noisy captain, told him if he would withdraw with him into another room he would inform him how, when, and where he could see the brigand, and have an opportunity to capture him. The latter consented to go with him. Fitzpatrick, after they had entered the room designated, shut and locked the door, then leveled the candlestick at the captain's head, saying as he did so,
"Young man, you want to see Captain Fritz. I am that person. I'll trouble you for your watch and the money you may have about you."
The entrapped hero hastily complied with the request, whereupon Fitzpatrick tied his hands behind him with his own handkerchief.
"Now, sir," he said, as he unlocked the door, "you may go back to your friends and tell them that you wanted to see Captain Fritz and you have seen him."
The prominence given to Fitzpatrick by the Executive Committee in proscribing him and offering a large reward for his capture was accepted by the latter as a flattering recognition of his abilities, and the alarm with which his deeds were regarded by the Whigs. He was repeatedly shot at by concealed marksmen, but always escaped unscathed, until the notion became prevalent that his was a charmed life; his shrewdness in avoiding snares to entrap him, his ability, courage, and readiness in eluding pursuit, together with his apparent recklessness in thrusting himself almost within the clutches of his enemies merely to disappoint them afresh, served to deepen the general impression heretofore mentioned. A short time after a price was set upon his life, to manifest his contempt of the proclamation and his mean opinion of the bravery of his foemen, in broad daylight, armed only with a pair of pistols and a dagger, he entered the hamlet of Kennett Square, deliberately walked through its streets, the people whom he met making way for him to pass, and repaired to the "Unicorn," the ancient and most noted hostelry in the village, destroyed by fire in January, 1875.
He unhesitatingly entered the bar-room, in which a crowd of twoscore men were assembled, talking of the outlaw—for he was the constant topic of conversation—and making copious draughts upon the good cheer of "mine host," the jolly, jovial Maj. John Bell, until they had become boisterously intoxicated. In that condition many of the men—as seems to have been customary on those occasions—expressed the desire to meet Fitzpatrick, whose personal peculiarities were well known to almost every one present. The reckless man, apparently as if an accustomed frequenter of the inn, called for a glass of liquor, drank it, and quietly walked away, without the least molestation by word or sign from any one. The insolent intrepidity of the act so utterly astonished the crowd that they did not recover their amazement until Fitzpatrick was out of range of their firearms.
His robberies were bold and to the sheer effrontery of many of his deeds was he indebted for his immunity from arrest. On one occasion, when a number of men were harvesting in a field on the farm of James Shields, Fitzpatrick and Dougherty presented themselves, and the former informed Mr. Shields that he had called at his house and borrowed his watch, his silver shoe-buckles, and his shoes. Shields said, promptly,
"You must return them."
"That will depend altogether upon your behavior towards us," was the reply of the outlaw, with a laugh.
Archibald Hambleton, a young man who was reaping in the field at the time, was taken into custody by Fitzpatrick and his companion, who compelled him to go with them to his parents' home. There the outlaws appropriated to their own use a rifle, powder-horn, and shot-pouch, and Fitzpatrick forced Hambleton to swear on a Bible that he would not follow, betray, disturb, or molest any of his (Hambleton's) neighbors, many of whom were Tories, in retaliation for the theft. He also told Hambleton if he violated his oath in any respect he and Dougherty would return there and burn not only his parents' house, but the houses of every rebel in the neighborhood.
The brutal punishment of flogging,—then a part of the military law of every nation,—which had caused Fitzpatrick to desert the cause of the colonies and sustain that of the loyalists, seemed, after his personal experience in the Continental army, to have become his favorite mode of punishment. On all occasions he employed castigation as a remedy for every wrong, suppositious or actual, which he had sustained. It is related that on one occasion a man from Nottingham township, when in pursuit of Fitzpatrick, went to the house of the latter's mother, where he behaved in an insolent manner, hoping thereby to compel her to tell him the whereabouts of her son. Among other things, to show his authority when dealing with a proscribed outlaw, he broke her spinning-wheel. Fitzpatrick, when informed of the indignities which had been shown his parent, vowed that he would be revenged, and contrived to have a message delivered to the offender, in which he apprised him that he might expect a visit from him shortly, and could, if so disposed, make whatever arrangements he deemed necessary to receive his guest in a proper form. The man laughed at the threat, said he would be glad to see Fitzpatrick (they all said that), and if he came he would not, in all probabilities, have occasion to ask the hospitality of any other person after he had gotten through with him. Nevertheless, Fitzpatrick kept his promise. One morning he suddenly confronted the man who had ill-treated his mother at the door of his own house, and commanded him, in a peremptory manner, to immediately follow him to the woods. He who had been so prolific in defiances when the danger was remote had not the courage to resist when Fitzpatrick presented himself in person, but cowardly obeyed his orders. The outlaw tied him to a tree and administered a castigation, which was laid on with a strong arm, and, perhaps, with more good will on the part of the whipper than in any case when Fitzpatrick punished his enemy by flagellation.
Despite his many crimes, there was a rough chivalry in the character of the man which exhibited itself in his marked gallantry towards women, in his open, generous disposition to aid them on when ill fortune bore heavily; indeed, he was never known to rob a poor man or ill-treat a female. Many are the instances related when he bestowed upon the destitute that which he had taken from those in good circumstances, and the weak or defenseless never suffered at his hands. On one occasion an old woman, who made a meagre living by peddling from house to house odds and ends of female apparel, encountered Fitzpatrick in the neighborhood of Caln Friends' meeting-house. She was at the time on her way to Philadelphia to buy goods, and all the money she possessed was on her person. She had never seen Capt. Fitzpatrick, and she informed, the tall, handsome stranger that she was told that the outlaw had made some demonstrations in that neighborhood a short time before, and she was afraid that she might fall in with him and be robbed of all her money. Fitzpatrick, by a few questions, drew from her the particulars of her business, and her difficulty in winning an honest livelihood. He then good naturedly told her she need be under no apprehension, Fitzpatrick never warred upon the weak or defenseless, that she was talking to that personage; and taking a purse from his pocket containing several gold pieces, he gave it to her to aid her in increasing her scanty stock of goods. Then, wishing her a safe journey, he turned into the woods and disappeared.
The short but eventful career of the outlaw was rapidly drawing to an end. On Saturday afternoon, the 22d day of August, 1778, shortly after five o'clock, Fitzpatrick went to the house of William McAffee, a well-to-do farmer, who resided in Edgmont township, in the present county of Delaware, near Castle Rock, a cluster of peculiar rocks, bowlder upon bowlder in picturesque confusion, a place often visited by tourists as a natural curiosity, not far from Crum Creek, where that stream is crossed by the West Chester road, and about ten miles from old Chester, on the Delaware. The house stood on a plantation known as the Castle Rock Farm, now owned by Mr. William Taylor, whose present dwelling stands on the site where McAffee's house was then located. It seems that Fitzpatrick had visited the family, who were ardent Whigs, on a former occasion, and had taken from them some articles of value. On the afternoon above mentioned, Mr. and Mrs. McAffee and their son, Robert, a captain of a military company, were at tea, when the latter glancing out of the door saw a man armed with a rifle, a pair of pistols in his belt, and a sword at his side approaching on horseback. As he came from the direction of the American camp, the captain supposed the horseman was a soldier in the Continental service. The latter rode to the door, dismounted, and asked whether William McAffee lived there. An affirmative response was made to this interrogatory, whereupon the stranger entered the room and inquired,
"Are you Capt. Robert McAffee?"
"I am Robert McAffee," was the rejoinder of the son.
"And I am Capt. Fitzpatrick."
"If that be so," quietly said the young man, "sit down and take a cup of tea with us; you are welcome to it."
But Fitzpatrick, who seemed to have entertained personal enmity against the McAffees, rudely refused the invitation, declaring, with an oath, that he would neither eat nor drink, nor would he leave the house until he had stripped its inmates of all the money they had; that he was levying contributions from the rebels, and that he had fixed upon one hundred and fifty pounds as the sum to be paid him by the McAffees. Thereupon presenting his pistol at Capt. McAffee, he ordered the members of the family to deliver to him all articles of jewelry and money they had upon their persons. A pair of well-made low shoes, or pumps, with silver buckles, worn by the son, particularly pleased Fitzpatrick's fancy, and, kicking off those he wore, he immediately appropriated those articles to his own use. The shoes, however, were rather small for the outlaw, and when he put them on his heels pressed the counters down. During a moment when Fitzpatrick's attention was drawn elsewhere, Capt. McAffee threw the keys of his chest, together with some Continental bills which he had had in his pockets, behind the door. His mother obtaining possession of the keys went up-stairs, and unlocking the chest in which a large sum of money was, secreted it under a quantity of wheat which was stored in the garret. Fitzpatrick, as soon as he became aware that Mrs. McAffee had left the room, threatened to kill her son if he did not immediately cause her to descend. In response to the call the mother promptly appeared, accompanied by Rachel Walker, the hired woman. Fitzpatrick having ransacked every place in the lower rooms where he supposed money or plate could be secreted, ordered all the inmates of the dwelling to ascend to the upper apartments. In the passage the outlaw observed Capt. McAffee's rifle, which he discharged and threw out of the door, remarking that it could lie there until it was wanted. At the foot of the stairs William McAffee endeavored to dissuade Fitzpatrick from ascending, promising him immunity from punishment for what he had already done to them; but the latter, believing that there was a large sum of money in the house, adhered to his purpose, and drawing his sword, placed the point of it at the breast of the old man, threatening to run him through if he did not immediately proceed.
When in the upper rooms, Fitzpatrick commanded Capt. McAffee to unlock his chest and produce the one hundred and fifty pounds already demanded. The latter, in a tone of well-assumed astonishment, exclaimed,
"How can you expect that so young a man as I am would have so large a sum of money in my possession?"
However, he promptly opened the chest, the keys of which his mother had returned to him, and told Fitzpatrick to search it. The outlaw complied with this invitation, but not finding the money, which, it is supposed, he had learned was in the possession of Robert McAffee, his disappointment was great, and, turning to the captain, said that in lieu of the money he would compel him, as he was his prisoner, to take part in his next campaign, and to that end he must provide himself with a horse and clothing, for it would be a long and severe expedition. The threat was not to be misunderstood, and Capt. McAffee was convinced that his only hope for liberty, possibly life itself, was in the capture of the outlaw.
Fitzpatrick ordered Capt. McAffee, his father and mother, in the order given, to stand in a row on his right hand, while Rachel Walker stood a short distance from and in front of him. The pumps which the outlaw had appropriated to his own use, being down at the heels, seemed to have annoyed him. He laid his arms, except a pistol which he kept in his hand, on the bed, and placing one of his feet on the side of the bedstead, he strove to force, with both hands, the shoe on his foot. Capt. McAffee, who was a large and muscular man, saw that the opportunity to put his resolution into effect was now presented, and, springing suddenly, he seized Fitzpatrick from behind in such a way as to prevent the latter the full use of his arms, and then, after some struggling, managed to throw him to the floor. The outlaw strove desperately to free his hand in which he still clutched the pistol. Rachel Walker thereupon caught the weapon, and, although in the scuffle her hand was badly hurt by the lock, she stoutly maintained her hold until she wrested the firearm from his grasp. As the men were still struggling, Rachel threw a double woolen coverlid over the head and face of Fitzpatrick, holding it in that position, which partially smothered him, and gave McAffee complete mastery over the prostrated man.
David Cunningham, a hired man on the farm, who had entered the house, hearing the noise of the scuffling, came up-stairs. He was immediately ordered by Capt. McAffee to get a rope and secure Fitzpatrick. While Mrs. McAffee was striving to bind his feet, he kicked her so violently in the side that she fell against the partition at the other end of the room. After the unhappy man was firmly bound, he begged earnestly of his captor that he would blow out his brains and make an end of his misery. Capt. McAffee told him that he would deliver him to the proper authorities, and to that end he sent David Cunningham to inform the nearest Whig neighbors of the capture, with a request that they would aid in guarding the prisoner from any attempted rescue. This being done, Cunningham was instructed to proceed to the American camp, and ask that a guard be sent to take Fitzpatrick to a place of safety.
Rachel Walker, after the capture had been made, armed with the pistol she had wrested from the outlaw, stood sentinel at the door of the apartment, but when David Cunningham rode away on his errand, she remembered that Dougherty and other companions of the outlaw might be lurking in the neighborhood, and she immediately started to bring Miss Jane McAffee home from the house of a friend near by before night came on. As the two women were returning they met a young man and woman walking together. The news the former had was too momentous to be kept, and they therefore imparted to the latter the fact that Fitzpatrick had been taken and was then a prisoner at McAffee's. This information aroused the latter's curiosity, and together the four repaired to the house. When they came into the room the young woman seated herself on the bed on which Fitzpatrick was lying, and apparently deeply moved with pity at the sight of the handsome man pinioned, her womanly sympathies exhibited themselves in an effort to comfort him. She smoothed his hair with her hand, and when he complained of being chilly, she threw a covering over him.
The immediate neighbors of the McAffees were loyalists, and the nearest Whigs were about two miles distant, hence it was between eight and nine o'clock before any assistance was had to prevent a rescue. Capt. McAffee then, exhausted by the struggle and the excitement which he had been under, repaired to an adjoining apartment to rest himself. Some time after he had retired it was discovered that Fitzpatrick, whose body was covered by the quilt, had freed his arm from the rope, and it was suspected that the young woman had been mainly instrumental in loosing the bonds. He was speedily rebound, and the rope was drawn so tightly that he complained that it hurt him. No attention was paid by the men present to the remonstrance of the prisoner, and he appealed to Miss Jane McAffee, who called her brother. The latter declared that Fitzpatrick should not be ill used, and although he must be bound, the ropes should not be drawn unnecessarily tight to cause him pain. About eleven o'clock one of men who were guarding Fitzpatrick sat near the window, when he was immediately fired at, the ball lodging in the weather-boarding of the house beneath the sill. A number of the men present made search for the assailant, whom they believed to have been Dougherty, but failed to apprehend him. They merely found a sword, which was recognized as one that Fitzpatrick had taken from a patriot officer. Two hours after midnight the guard dispatched from the American camp to escort Fitzpatrick to a place of safe detention arrived, and taking him in charge, conveyed him to Old Chester, where he was lodged in jail early the following morning. Dougherty, after the capture of his superior, passed entirely out of public notice, and nothing is known of his subsequent career. He may have taken part in the series of annoyances to which Capt. McAffee and family were subjected after the capture of Fitzpatrick. Two stacks of oats were burned, the spring house opened, all the milk-pans therein ruined, and the manes and tails of the horses on their farm cut off, and other outrages perpetrated.
On the 15th of September Fitzpatrick was tried and convicted of burglary and robbery, and sentenced to be hanged. The Executive Council of the State approved the sentence, and designated the 26th day of the same month as the time when the execution should take place. While confined in the old jail in Chester, after conviction, Fitzpatrick made an effort to escape. He filed his chains and would have succeeded in his attempt had it not been that iron bars, imbedded in the masonry of the flue of the chimney, prevented his egress in that way, and the noise made in striving to break them out aroused his keepers. He was, therefore, removed by order of Council to the then recently-erected prison on Walnut Street, Philadelphia, as a place of greater security. There he twice broke his handcuffs off in one night, but was prevented from effecting his escape by the vigilance of the guards. The day previous to his execution he was conveyed to Chester.
On the morning of the 26th day of September, 1778, at the intersection of Providence and Edgmont Avenues, in North Ward, Chester, James Fitzpatrick met his fate. Tradition hath it that after the rope was adjusted about his neck and the cart drawn from beneath the gallows he fell to the earth on his feet, and that by standing on his toes the strain on his neck was removed. This the hangman saw, and springing upon the shoulders of the doomed man, the increased weight forced the body down until James Fitzpatrick was actually strangled to death.

I would like to have a few Goldenrod plants on my property just so i can tell when they are getting ready to bloom, for the fall flow. Do you grow them from seed or transplant. Has anyone ever tried it before?
I would like to have a few Goldenrod plants on my property just so i can tell when they are getting ready to bloom, for the fall flow. Do you grow them from seed or transplant. Has anyone ever tried it before?
Please visit my page, Thanks
This past Autumn, I purchased seed through Amazon.com and started them indoors, in small pots - then transplanted them outside in the Spring. I mulched them with straw, fertilized them and connected them to an automatic irrigation system. They have grown well, considering this variety is supposedly native to Northern U.S. and Canada. The plants look nice, but they don't seem to be getting ready to bloom, this year. Perhaps, they will bloom later, or even wait until next season.
The seed were tiny, but germinated easily and grew very fast.

Does anybody else see a 'problem' that our 'bugs' are driving us to plant 'weeds' that everybody else is trying to get rid of??? Only a beekeeper would understand!
Hey Steve, how ya doin'?
Does goldenrod really yield much nectar in SC, as close to the coast as you are? For those who don't know, Steve lives almost w/in walking distance of the Atlantic Ocean.
I think you should find some g-rod which has gone to seed and gather the seed heads and plant a patch in your yard.
People are trying to get rid of goldenrod? I didn't know that. Who are they? Where do they live? I wanna give them a piece of my mind. Many people I talk to think goldenrod and ragweed are the same thing.
Mark Berninghausen
Goldenrod is considered a weed here and people spray to kill it. This year I would not mow my fields until after the goldenrod flow was over. In fact, I just started mowing yesterday. I now have some neighbors a little upset because they say my goldenrod seed will blow over on them. My wife was upset with me also, because she said our farm looked like a jungle, because I let all the iron weed, goldenrod and other weeds grow. Life is getting better though. The flow is over, I'm mowing and my wife has finally let me back in the house. Attached are some pictures of my fields with the goldenrod in bloom.
And goldenrod is a particularly useful medicinal plant for humans. All parts of it are edible, and it has pain killing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also a good diuretic. Its one of the things to really keep an eye out for after the zombie apocalypse.
That said, you can propagate it by seed or by root. Split the root up and replant, or sow the seeds on the surface of the soil in late fall, gently run a rake over them to scratch the dirt up just a little bit, and you'll have plants come spring (they require the cold winter weather to break dormancy in the spring, aka they need to be stratified).
How is it eaten by humans? Cooked? Which parts?
Mark Berninghausen
The flowers can be used as garnish in salads, and the leaves can be used for teas or cooked like spinach.
Sweet Goldenrod specifically has a flavor similar to anise that was used to make "liberty tea" during the revolutionary war against great britain.
It apparently also produces rubber naturally, and the tires on Henry Ford's Model T were made from goldenrod rubber.
More info on the goodness of goldenrod:
>I would like to have a few Goldenrod plants on my property just so I can tell when they are getting ready to bloom
There are many different kinds of goldenrod and aster. Aster seems to bloom all around the same time. Different varieties of goldenrod can start blooming as early as end of July and go to frost.
Both Goldenrod and aster grow by rhizomes and can be easily transplanted just pull them up by the stalk when soil is wet, break the stock and plant the root. Both are air dispersed, look like little dandelion seeds, break the stalks off wave it in the air if the seed float in the wind they are ready.
>some neighbors a little upset because they say my goldenrod seed will blow over on them
Seed that are dispersed by wind can go miles, seeds can remain in the soil for 10+ years before they germinate, birds and animal will often carry the seed even further. If you could kill every weed on your property your neighbors would not even have a .0000001% reduction in weeds.
>My wife was upset with me also, because she said our farm looked like a jungle,
As a society we are bred to think we need nicely cut green grass with no weeds to survive and we must apply all kinds of chemical we see on TV. It's bad for the bees, the environment and your health. How much gas did you not burn and time did you saved by only cutting it once a year?

Sqkcrk, Mark I have no idea if the local goldenrod puts out much nectar. All I know is that everyone is talking about the goldenrod flow, and I see plenty of it along side the road, close to my house. I checked the bees Sunday and they were all full of uncapped nectar.
Please visit my page, Thanks

Go out in the fall and look for goldenrod that is being worked by bees. Remember where it is. Go back later when it has gone to seed and collect it. Scatter it where you want it...

I stopped and looked at some along side the road today. It was loaded with honey bees, 2 or 3 different kinds of wasp, bumble bees, and butterflies.

Who said that Apple's Chinese factory workers don't like their jobs? When "markm49uk" from Kingston Upon Hull in England unboxed his iPhone, he found this picture on the home screen, and two more in the iPhone's photo album.
Somewhat predictably, the comments on the MacRumors forum thread are along the lines of "She's so fired LOL", but we think this is great. It's lovely to see pictures of the person who tested your gadgets, especially if they are smiling like this — it somehow makes the whole thing more personal. We also get an illicit thrill from seeing the inside of the factory.
And as for those commenters on MacRumors, who probably never even had a paper-round, lay off. Testing the iPhone's camera is probably part of the quality control process anyway.

Clearly a lot of knowledge on this forum.
Project is building a lightweight car circa 550-600kg but using BMW 4 cyl engine and mechanicals. So, looking into the tuning options of the M42/M43& version/M44 and the various known issues of them, guess a lot of reading to come.
Hope I won't be asking to many stupid noob questions.

Ripoff Report
Pizza Hut4257 Kalamazoo Ave. SE Grand Rapids, Michigan USA
Pizza Hut Botched delivery, out of gas, out of a refund. Grand Rapids Michigan
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I ordered a pizza August 28th for delivery. 45 minutes went by, I received a phone call from the driver saying that he had run out of fuel. The manager was going to pick up the pizza and drop it off. I called 30 minutes later (1 hour 15 minutes at this point) to see where the pizza was. The gentleman that picked up the phone at the restaurant was quite rude because he thought that I was the driver that ran out of fuel. I asked if I was still going to be charged for it. He said no, that it's on the house tonight with our apologies.
Fair enough, no big deal. Stuff happens and life goes on. 1 hour 45 minutes pass and the pizza finally shows up after my dinner guests had left to find their own food. One may be shocked to learn that after almost two hours, a pizza is no longer hot nor is it edible. It went right in the garbage.
Monday rolls around and I check my bank account. The charge for the pizza had funded and was debited from my checking account. No sweat. It's probably just in processing as a refund. Nope! Two more days go by, and the refund isn't pending. I called the store again and spoke to a manager on Wednesday. He told me that he would get everything straightened out and refund my card. I thanked him and went about my business.
The following Monday arrives and I still see no pending refund for the pizza. I emailed the customer interaction department found on their corporate website and received a call the next day from some guy named Packer. He left a voicemail because I was far too busy at work to answer a phone call. I returned his call, leaving him a voicemail. Here it is, the following week Wednesday, and I still haven't received a phone call back or a refund. At this point, I declare a PR war on Pizza Hut. I plan to destroy you on Yelp, Facebook, RipoffReport, Google, Yahoo, and every other medium I can possibly find that will take a review.
I have always had superior service and product from Pizza Hut in the past and I have been a loyal customer for many years. Convenience is quite important to a guy like me that devotes 70 hours of his week to work while maintaining a home and a family. Small things like this are irritating and should not go unnoticed. It's not about the $12.71 that they owe me, it's the principle of the matter. I was promised a refund for a product and service that did not meet my expectations, then the service after the fact was downright disgusting. I hate being ignored, so maybe if I start putting my thoughts in black and white, it'll finally sink in that customers should't be treated with disrespect and dishonesty.
I literally see this as a poorly managed franchise at the employee, store, and district level. We shall see if it is poorly managed at a corporate level. You're welcome to contact me any time to discuss this matter. Mr. Packer has my number on the voicemail I left.

Installation Path A - Automated Installation by Cloudera Manager
If your cluster meets the requirements for Installation Path A, follow the instructions in this section for automated installation by Cloudera Manager. The requirements for Path A are:
- Uniform SSH access to cluster hosts on the same port from Cloudera Manager Server host.
- All hosts must have access to standard package repositories.
- All hosts must have access to the either archive.cloudera.com on the internet or to a local repository with the necessary installation files.
The Cloudera Manager configuration, as well as the other monitoring and management information is stored in databases. As part of the process of Installation Path A, Cloudera Manager installs embedded PostgreSQL databases. It is simplest to use these automatically installed and configured databases. During the installation, you are provided with the option to select databases other than the automatically installed databases. If you intended to customize the installation to use other databases, install and configure them before beginning to use Installation Path A.
Using custom databases is a more advanced process, which is more often a part of an Installation Using Your Own Method. For more information on installing custom databases, see Installing and Configuring Databases. Otherwise, use the embedded PostgreSQL database, which the installer creates.
The general steps in this procedure for Installation Path A are:
Step 1: Download and Run the Cloudera Manager Installer
For installation purposes, the Cloudera Manager Server must have SSH access to the cluster hosts and you must log in using a root account or an account that has password-less sudo permission. See Requirements for Cloudera Manager for more information.
Cloudera Manager accesses archive.cloudera.com by using yum on Red Hat systems, zypper on SUSE systems, or apt-get on Debian/Ubuntu systems. If your hosts access the Internet through an HTTP Proxy, you can configure yum, zypper, or apt-get, system-wide, to access archive.cloudera.com through a proxy. To do so, modify the system configuration on the Cloudera Manager Server host and on every cluster host where you want to install CDH. This is not required in all cases.
To configure your system to use a proxy
On Red Hat systems, add the following property to /etc/yum.conf:
On SUSE systems, add the following property to /root/.curlrc:
On Debian/Ubuntu systems, add the following property to /etc/apt/apt.conf:
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://server:port";
To download and run the Cloudera Manager installer:
- Download cloudera-manager-installer.bin from the Cloudera Downloads page to the host where you want to install the Cloudera Manager Server. The host must be on your cluster or accessible to your cluster over your network. Install Cloudera Manager on a single host.
- After downloading cloudera-manager-installer.bin, change it to have executable permission.
$ chmod u+x cloudera-manager-installer.bin
- Run cloudera-manager-installer.bin. Note
:The installer's default behavior is to install the Cloudera Manager packages from the Internet. If you have created a local repository and configured your machine to recognize that repository, you can instruct the installer to use local repositories by running the cloudera-manager-installer.bin with the --skip_repo_package=1 option.
$ sudo ./cloudera-manager-installer.bin
- Read the Cloudera Manager Readme and then press Enter to choose Next.
- Read the Cloudera Manager License and then press Enter to choose Next. Use the arrow keys and press Enter to choose Yes to confirm you accept the license.
- Read the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement and then press Enter to choose Next. Use the arrow keys and press Enter to choose Yes to confirm you accept the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement. The Cloudera Manager installer begins installing the Oracle JDK and the Cloudera Manager repo files and then installs the packages. The installer also installs the Cloudera Manager Server. Note
:If an error message "Failed to start server" appears while running cloudera-manager-installer.bin, exit the installation program. If the Cloudera Manager Server log file /var/log/cloudera-scm-server/cloudera-scm-server.log contains the following message, then it's likely you have SELinux enabled
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) ...You can disable SELinux by running the following command on the Cloudera Manager Server host:
$ sudo setenforce 0
To disable it permanently, edit /etc/selinux/config.
- Note the complete URL provided for the Cloudera Manager Admin Console, including the port number, which is 7180 by default. Press Enter to choose OK to continue.
- Press Enter to choose OK to exit the installer.
If the installation is interrupted for some reason, you may need to clean up before you can re-run it. See Uninstalling Cloudera Manager.
Step 2: Start the Cloudera Manager Admin Console
The Cloudera Manager Admin Console enables you to use Cloudera Manager to configure, manage, and monitor Hadoop on your cluster. Before using the Cloudera Manager Admin Console, gather information about the server's URL and port.
The server URL takes the following form:
http://<Server host>:<port>
<Server host> is the fully-qualified domain name or IP address of the host machine where the Cloudera Manager Server is installed. <port> is the port configured for the Cloudera Manager Server. The default port is 7180. For example, use a URL such as the following:
Cloudera Manager does not support changing the admin username for the installed account. You can change the password using Cloudera Manager after you run the wizard in the next section. While you cannot change the admin username, you can add a new user, assign administrative privileges to the new user, and then delete the default admin account.
To start the Cloudera Manager Admin Console:
In a web browser, enter the URL, including the port, for the Cloudera Server. The login screen for Cloudera Manager appears.
Log into Cloudera Manager. The default credentials are: Username: admin Password: admin
Step 3: Use Cloudera Manager for Automated CDH Installation and Configuration
The following instructions show you how to use the Cloudera Manager wizard to do an initial installation and configuration. The wizard helps you to install and set up Cloudera parcels or packages across your cluster and will:
- Let you select the version of Cloudera Manager you want to install:
- Cloudera Standard, which does not require a license, but provides a somewhat limited set of features
- Cloudera Enterprise Edition with a 60-day Trial license
- Cloudera Enterprise Edition with a license
- Find the cluster hosts you specify via hostname and IP-address ranges
- Connect to each host with SSH to install the Cloudera Manager Agent and other components
- Install the Oracle JDK on the cluster hosts (if not already installed)
- Install CDH packages or parcels, optionally including the Cloudera Impala and Cloudera Search packages or parcels
- Configure Hadoop automatically and start the Hadoop services
All hosts in the cluster must have some way to access installation files. This can be done one of two ways:
- Internet access to allow the wizard to install software packages or parcels from archive.cloudera.com.
- A custom internal repository that the host(s) can access. For example, for a Red Hat host, you could set up a Yum repository. See Creating and Using your own Repository for more information about this option.
To use Cloudera Manager:
- The first time you start the Cloudera Manager Admin Console, the install wizard starts up.
- Select whether you want to:
- Install Cloudera Standard,
- Try Cloudera Enterprise with a 60-day trial license, or
- Install a license you have purchased for Cloudera Enterprise.
- If you have elected to install an existing license, browse to your Cloudera Manager License file and upload it.
- After you upload the Cloudera Manager license, or if you have elected to use a Trial license, restart the Cloudera Manager server:
$ sudo service cloudera-scm-server restart
- As the Cloudera Manager server restarts, the user interface indicates its progress, and presents the login page when the restart has completed.
- Information is displayed indicating what the CDH installation includes. At this point, you can access online Help or the Support Portal if you wish. Click Continue to proceed with the installation.
- To enable Cloudera Manager to automatically discover your cluster hosts where you want to install CDH, enter the cluster hostnames or IP addresses. You can also specify hostname and IP address ranges. For example:
Use this Expansion Range
To Specify these Hosts
10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3, 10.1.1.4
host1.company.com, host2.company.com, host3.company.com
host07.company.com, host08.company.com, host09.company.com, host10.company.com
You can specify multiple addresses and address ranges by separating them by commas, semicolons, tabs, or blank spaces, or by placing them on separate lines. Use this technique to make more specific searches instead of searching overly wide ranges. The scan results will include all addresses scanned, but only scans that reach hosts running SSH will be selected for inclusion in your cluster by default.Note
If you don't know the IP addresses of all of the hosts, you can enter an address range that spans over unused addresses and then deselect the hosts that do not exist (and are not discovered) later in this procedure. However, keep in mind that wider ranges will require more time to scan.
- Click Search. Cloudera Manager identifies the hosts on your cluster to allow you to configure them for CDH. If there are a large number of hosts on your cluster, wait a few moments to allow them to be discovered and shown in the wizard. If the search is taking too long, you can stop the scan by clicking Abort Scan. To find additional hosts, click New Search, add the host names or IP addresses and click Search again. Note
Cloudera Manager scans hosts by checking for network connectivity. If there are some hosts where you want to install CDH that are not shown in the list, make sure you have network connectivity between the Cloudera Manager Server host and those hosts. Common causes of loss of connectivity are firewalls and interference from SELinux.
- Verify that the number of hosts shown matches the number of hosts where you want to install CDH. Deselect host entries that do not exist and deselect the hosts where you do not want to install CDH.
Click Continue
- Select the repository type you want to use for the installation.
- To install using Parcels, select Parcels, and follow the directions at Installation using Parcels.
- To install using Packages, select Packages, and follow the directions at Installation using Packages.
Installing from parcels is recommended, if they are available for the version you want to install.Note
:Parcels are available for CDH4.1.3 or later, and for Impala and Solr. To install CDH3 or to install an earlier version of CDH4, select Packages.
Installation using Parcels
- Choose the parcel you want to install. The choices you see depend on the repositories you have chosen – a repository may contain multiple parcels. Note
:By default only the parcel for the latest version of CDH, Impala and Solr are shown. However, you can add parcels for previous versions as a custom repository as described below. For example, you can find the locations of the previous CDH4 parcels at http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/parcels/.
If you have parcels in a custom repository, or if you want to install a previous version of CDH, you can specify the repository and Cloudera Manager will add those parcels to the list shown on this page. If you are installing CDH4.3 and want to use Sentry, you can add the Sentry parcel using this mechanism (the Sentry parcel for CDH4.3 is at http://archive.cloudera.com/sentry/parcels/latest/). Sentry is included with CDH4.4 or later.
- Click More Options to show the custom repository field.
- Enter the URL of the repository you want into the field provided, and click the + Add button. The URL you specify here will also be added to the list of remote repositories referenced in the Remote Parcel Repository URLs property. If you have multiple repositories configured, you will see all the unique parcels contained in all your repositories.
- Select the specific releases of Impala and Solr to install on your hosts. You may choose either the latest version or use a custom repository. Choose None if you do not want to install that product.
- Select the specific release of the Cloudera Manager Agent to install on your hosts. You may choose either the version that matches with the Cloudera Manager Server you are currently using, or you can specify an installation from a custom repository.
- If available, select the specific release of Impala to install on your hosts. You may choose either the latest version or use a custom repository. If you do not want to install Impala, select None.
- If you opted to use custom repositories for installation files, you may provide a GPG key URL that will apply for all repositories.
- Click Continue. You are now asked to provide your credentials, following the instructions at Provide credentials for authenticating with hosts.
Installation using Packages
- Select the major release of CDH to install. This is often CDH4.
- Select the specific release of CDH to install from within the major version you selected. You may choose a custom repository.
- Select the specific releases of Impala and Solr to install on your hosts, assuming you have selected an appropriate CDH4 version. You may choose either the latest version or use a custom repository. Choose None if you do not want to install that product.
- Select the specific release of Cloudera Manager to install on your hosts. You may choose either the version that matches with the Cloudera Manager Server you are currently using or you can specify an installation at a custom repository.
- If you opted to use custom repositories for installation files, you may provide a GPG key URL that will apply for all repositories.
- Click Continue.
Provide credentials for authenticating with hosts
- Select root or enter the user name for an account that has password-less sudo permissions.
- Select an authentication method.
- If you choose to use password authentication, enter and confirm the password.
- If you choose to use public-key authentication provide a passphrase and path to the required key files.
- You can choose to specify an alternate SSH port. The default value is 22.
- You can specify the maximum number of host installations to run at once. The default value is 10.
- Click Continue to begin installing the Cloudera Manager Agent and Daemons on the cluster hosts. If you are installing from packages, the process also installs CDH (and Impala, if you've selected it) on your hosts.
Install Cloudera Manager and CDH components
- If you are installing from packages, the wizard configures package repositories, installs the Oracle JDK, CDH, and the Cloudera Manager Agent, and then starts the Cloudera Manager Agent. The status of installation on each host is displayed. You can also click the Details link for individual hosts to view detailed information about the installation and error messages if installation fails on any hosts.
- When the Continue button appears at the bottom of the screen, the installation process is completed. If the installation has completed successfully on some hosts but failed on others, you can click Continue if you want to skip installation on the failed hosts and continue to the next screen to start configuring CDH on the successful hosts.
- If you are installing from parcels, the wizard installs the Oracle JDK and the Cloudera Manager Agent using packages, as described above. The status of installation on each host is displayed.
- When the Cloudera Manager Agent, the JDK etc. have been installed, click Continue to proceed to the cluster installation section. During the parcel installation, progress is indicated for the three phases of the parcel installation process (Download, Distribution, and Activation) in a single progress bar. If you are installing multiple parcels you will see a progress bar for each parcel.
- When the Continue button appears at the bottom of the screen, the installation process is completed.
- When you continue, the Host Inspector runs to validate the installation, and provides a summary of what it finds, including all the versions of the installed components. If the validation is successful, click Continue.
Choose the services you want to start on your cluster
- Choose the combination of services to install: Core Hadoop, Real-Time Delivery (previously known as HBase Services), Real-Time Query (which includes HDFS, Hive and Impala), All Services, or Custom Services. Note
- Some services depend on others; for example, HBase requires HDFS and ZooKeeper.
- Most of the combinations install MapReduce v1. Choose the Custom Services option to install MapReduce v2 (YARN) or use the Add Service functionality to add YARN after installation completes.
- If you are installing the Enterprise Edition, choose whether to install Cloudera Navigator. Cloudera Navigator is independently licensed from the core Cloudera Enterprise offering.
- Click Inspect Role Assignments to see how the wizard will assign roles for the services you have chosen, and change them if you need to. The wizard evaluates the hardware configurations of the cluster hosts to determine the best machines for each role. For example, the wizard assigns the NameNode role to the machine that best meets the NameNode requirements. The wizard also configures other options, such as the number of map and reduce slots for TaskTracker, on the basis of the size of the cluster and the physical characteristics of each machines, such as the number of CPUs, amount of RAM, and disk space. These assignments are typically acceptable, but you can reassign services to nodes of your choosing, if desired.
- Click Continue when you are satisfied with the assignments.
- On the Database Setup page, configure settings for the Activity Monitor, Service Monitor, Report Manager, Host Monitor, and Hive metastore databases.
- Leave the default settings of Use Embedded Database to have Cloudera Manager create and configure all required databases.
- Select Custom to specify external databases, and enter the required information for the databases that you created when you set up your databases for Cloudera Manager. You must provide the Database host, database type, database name, username, and password.

|Paul Pierce says foul on Kobe Bryant 'blown out of proportion'
|03.15.13 at 4:29 pm ET
WALTHAM — From the moment Dahntay Jones fouled Kobe Bryant on Wednesday night, causing Bryant to badly roll his right ankle, it seemed everyone had an opinion, including Kobe himself.
No foul was called but the NBA admitted Friday that one should've been called in the game won by the Hawks over Bryant's Lakers. It was classified as a high ankle sprain and Bryant was questionable for Friday's game in Indiana.
Celtics captain Paul Pierce saw the same highlight and this was his take:
"I had a chance to kind of see it," Pierce said. "I think it got kind blown out of proportion. He put his hands up, got into his defender. The fact it was Kobe Bryant, it's an issue. If it was anybody else (injured), we wouldn't probably even be talking about this."
For more, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.
|Troy Murphy gets it right on Rondo
|12.23.09 at 10:50 am ET
Not sure if everyone's noticed an emerging trend in the NBA where a large number of players stop short of giving Rajon Rondo his props. Indiana's Danhtay Jones spoke for many who have conveyed similar statements when he said Tuesday night, "They have a great team. He compliments the guys around him. He's a part of a great machine."
There's a couple of things happening in that quote. One, the players meme is that Rondo is beyond lucky to be on a team like the Celtics with veteran superstars and two, he's a complimentary player.
The first part may be true. The second part not so much. At the very least Rondo is the third-most important player on the roster and you can make a strong argument that he is actually the most important. That's not to call out Jones. Lots of players have made similar statements, and some in harsher tones than what Jones said after a tough loss.
Troy Murphy, however, got it just about right.
"He just kills your whole gameplan because you don't know where he's going to be," Muprhy said. "He's all over the place. He's taking chances. He just creates havoc out there. He's tough."
Rondo leads the league in steals, which is part of taking chances and creating havoc, yet he's doing it while playing "more solid" as Doc Rivers has pointed out several times. There are no metrics for staying under control both offensively and defensively, but that's what Rondo is doing this year, while still maintaining his creativity offensively and his gameplan destroying nature defensively.
In other words, he's putting it all together. People will start to notice soon off. Even the other players.

52 degrees – record high at MSP Tuesday
21 average high at MSP Tuesday
+ 31 degrees Tuesday at MSP vs. average!
Numerous Records Tuesday:
41 at International Falls
47 at Duluth
50 at Alexandria
51 at Fargo
52 at St. Cloud
53 at Eau Claire
54 at Rochester and Mankato
57 at Redwood Falls and Sioux Falls
Northland records fall: (From the Duluth NWS)
Most Number of 45 Degree or Higher Temps at Duluth for January
"Today, January 10th, marks the 4th day this month that the temperature has reached at least 45 degrees. Never in recorded weather history has a January produced more 45 degree or higher temperatures in Duluth. This breaks the old record of 3 days set in 1877."
January reality check Wednesday!
The long awaited and well forecast arctic front is blasting through Minnesota Wednesday.
Snow too!
A couple of waves of snow Wednesday & Thursday look to produce anywhere from a coating to as much as 2″ in parts of Minnesota including the metro.
Then cold: A shot at Zero?
The fresh snow cover and arctic air may be just enough to make a run at our first 0 degree temps of the winter season in the metro early Thursday & Friday morning.
My hunch is we'll bottom out in the single digits above zero at MSP. I expect a few sub-zero temps west of the metro Thursday & Friday morning.
Button up!

Hello, I had open rhinoplasty 14 month ago. The bones were broken. Although I am quite pleased with my profile, I find the the tip of my nose is disproportionate with the top...My doctor says that the tip is still swollen and should go down in a few months...All of the research I've done says that the swelling should be down by now...I am getting quite worried... Was my doctor right? In your opinion, will it go down in a few months? Thank you
Tip Swelling 1 Year Post Rhinoplasty Normal? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Swollen nasal tip one year after rhinoplasty surgery
In general, there can be residual swelling that lasts up to one year following surgery. A number of factors depend on this. With an open rhinoplasty as you described, the swelling will tend to linger for a longer period of time. If tip work is performed with the open rhinoplasty, this will especially be true. If a patient has thick skin, their swelling will last longer as well. At this stage, any residual swelling will go down slowly, and your surgeon will have the best advice for you regarding your healing time and when you should expect to see the final result. Thank you and good luck!
Tip Swelling 1 Year Post Rhinoplasty
Although swelling can be present longer than one year in patients with thick skin, I don't think your tip will change significantly in the future. A second opinion from an experienced revision rhinoplasty specialist might help clarify your present situation and what to expect in the future.
Is tip swollen after 1 year??
I doubt that you have more than 1-2 percent swelling left and you probably won't be happy if you wait another 6 months. Get a second opinion from a revision rhinoplasty specialist to resolve the matter for you.

Walmart Jumps Into the Amazon v. Hachette Fight
Last week, we talked about how Amazon was delaying orders of Hachette books as a negotiation tactic in a pricing argument with the publisher. Walmart has now announced that they'll offer customers 40% off on all Hachette books and quick shipping.
Great! But also, how weird is it that we live in a world where Walmart can, at least for the moment, play the role of the scrappy underdog who jumps in when the big monopoly oversteps its power?
I've been looking around for good numbers on what market share is like for ebooks, and they're surprisingly hard to come by. People seem to think that Amazon has around 60% - 65% of the market, followed by either Apple or Barnes and Noble, who both seem to hover around 10% each. I'm using hedgey language here because even experts seem to just be making (educated) guesses on all this.
No one mentions Walmart as any sort of contender. The most accidentally funny thing I read was this line in a Bloomberg piece: "[Walmart]...said yesterday that physical book sales on Walmart.com have climbed 70 percent. The company didn't give a time frame for the gain." Come on, guys.
