Pear and almond tart-who would have though that pears would take over the classic place of apples perfectly?
Apart from the daily five, pear is also known for its anti-oxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties to combat cancer, and also prevent hypertension, stroke and lowers the cholesterol level. As pear contains high amount of fibre, it is also naturally good source as mild laxative and also preventive of colon cancer.
For this recipe, I combined almonds into the flour for the pastry as well as flakes in the filling. Almonds are truly a baker's dream as it is universally delicious for pastries and cakes alike. But more so than that, with its rich source of vitamin E and amino acids, almonds should be incorporated into the diet more often, especially as its monounsaturated fat can lower the HDl (bad) choleserol.
Before I go on my rant, let's get on to the recipe. Little morsels of delight that would make you forget all the above facts as their beauty brings in the Parisienne patisserie charm with it. Adorn your favourite tiered plates with the tarts, put the kettle on and invite those guests in. For they are in for a little treat.
Flaked almond and pear tart-perfect for afternoon tea. Check out the recipe here.
Thank you Wan for having me and the recipe in your blog:-)

At Maximum, we believe in complete athletic development. Our training and developmental goals are based on improving performance, decreasing injury potential, and helping athletes reach their goals.
Athletic development includes all activities which enhance athleticism and sports performance. These include strength, power, speed, agility, mobility, flexibility, endurance, durability, balance and stability. To maximize each of these aspects takes careful programming based on scientific research.
We believe that all the systems in the body play an important role in maximizing biological power. We use an integrated approach, but base our methodology primarily from the research that has come from the Eastern block countries.
We believe all training activity should have a purpose, and
should have some direct transfer to the sport-specific goals of the athlete. For example, the athletic activities that a swimmer performs need to develop her ability to compete in the pool. The same goes for the activities of a football player. We don't believe in doing weight room activity just for the sake of doing activity. There should be a purpose to every workout.
At Maximum, we do not accept anything less than 100% effort when training. If an athlete gives less than 100% they are wasting their time. An athlete's genetic potential can never be met if they do not exert every ounce of effort, and every bit of concentration on every rep.
Come work out with us at our new facility.

Frequently Asked Questions / Cancer Treatment Options / Targeted Therapies
Last Modified: April 27, 2008
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My 52-year old husband has received two treatments of Panitumumab in his fight against metastatic colon cancer. Within the past two weeks, the skin on the sides of his fingernails have become infected and hurt like an ingrown fingernail. If you can just imagine 3-4 ingrown fingernails on each hand! He takes 100 mg Doxycycline twice a day and we have tried Cetaphil, Eucerin and Gold Bond lotion for his hands. Nothing has helped. Any suggestions?
Beth Eaby, MSN, CRNP, OCN, Bboard certified nurse practitioner and nationally certified oncology nurse, responds:
Paronychia (par'o·nych'i·al) is an infection of the soft tissue around a finger or toe nail. EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor)- inhibiting agents, such as panitumumab, are being increasingly used as anti-cancer therapy. However, these drugs can affect the epidermal receptors that are found in the skin and this leads to the unusual side effects seen with these agents. These side effects include rash, paronychia, dry skin, breaks in the tissue (fissures) on the fingertips, and trichomegaly of the eyelashes. Paronychia typically occurs 2 months after initiation of therapy with the EGFR inhibitor. The incidence is not clear, with studies reporting rates ranging from 6 to 50% of patients developing this side effect.
Some tips to help prevent paronychia include keeping nails trimmed, filed, and clean. Once paronychia develops, treatments include warm soaks, splinting to reduce discomfort, antibiotic (Neosporin, Bactroban) and anti fungal (Ketoconazole) creams. If these topical agents are not working, Keflex or doxycycline, oral antibiotics, can be used.
If these treatments do not resolve the paronychia, and it is painful and appears infected, a nail avulsion may be warranted. This involves removing the whole nail and would be performed by a podiatrist (for a toenail) or a dermatologist or hand surgeon (for a fingernail).

Seniors say they'll stay in tornado-ravaged town
May 25, 2013 14:46 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Graduating high schoolers say they don't want to move away from Moore after a tornado devastated a section of their town.
Westmoore High School Senior Alex Davis says staying close is a way to show "that a disaster can't beat us."
And senior Cameron Knight says if he had a choice to live anywhere in the country, he'd still pick his hometown.
Westmoore was the first of three schools to hold commencement ceremonies Saturday at the Cox Convention Center in downtown Oklahoma City
The Oklahoma City suburb was hit by a strong tornado Monday; 24 people died and hundreds were injured.
The Moore School District canceled its school year after the tornado hit the Plaza Towers and Briarwood elementary schools, but wants graduation ceremonies to go on.

My central AC unit has the following product specs: AC voltx = 208/230 Phase=1 Hertz=60 Voltage range min=197 max=253 Min Circuit Amps=22.7 Max fuse Amps or HACR Type Circuit Breaker=35 It is currently wired with AWG 10/2 and connected to a 220v/40 amp breaker. The wiring is approximately 4 years old and the breakers are around 10 years old. Is the wiring size and breaker size correct? Is there any life span on the breakers where after a certain age they should be replaced? Thanks in advance | |||
Can't answer all your questions, but to my knowledge there's no normal "lifespan" for a circuit breaker like there would be for light bulbs (for example). I've never had to replace a circuit breaker because it wasn't any good, but that occasionally does happen. Circuit breakers can go bad, it's just that it's not very often that they do. The time honoured tradition is to try replacing the circuit breaker if you can't find the problem anywhere else. However, reading between the lines, if you're having a problem with your circuit breaker tripping as a result of your air conditioner going on, then I'd be inclined to try replacing the breaker. I know that in my building it was COMMON for tenants to keep blowing fuses with window air conditioners. The solution to that problem was to install "Slo-Blo" screw in type fuses in the fuse boxes for those circuits. I really don't know if there's such a thing as a "slo-blo circuit breaker", but hopefully someone in here will.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Nestor, | ||||
Your breaker size does not match the AWG properly according to the NEC. A 40amp breaker will need to have #8 copper to be sized correctly. I also wonder why 10/2 is in place as methinks 8/3 should [if Romex] be in place for a 230v feed. I might be missing something via the net though. "Why isn't everyday Earth Day ?" | ||||
An addendun. I think you should have this wiring setup checked by a HVAC tech. The more I think about the less confident I am about it. I have seen and wired more that and few units, but never wired one in the fashion you describe. As stated earlier, I may be missing something via the www, but when in doubt call a pro. "Why isn't everyday Earth Day ?" | ||||
Not at all true, especially for an A/C unit. What part of the NEC are you referring to? An A/C condensor with a MCA of 22.7 is perfectly fine on #10. Also, WHY would you suggest XX/3 wire? A 240v load, like this condensor, does not require a neutral. Again, 10/2 would be typical. You say you've wired a lot of these units. Do you always run3-wire? Now, the 40A breaker is a violation because the Max fuse or breaker listed for the unit is 35A. I bet the installer could not find a 35 and put in a 40. A 30 would still be fine and likely not trip. | ||||
Are HVACs wired with a neutral present ? In these parts they always are. Surely a regional thing. With out one the circuit would be flagged in a nanosecond. But we also factor in a 125% overload taking into consideration a HVAC also has a defrost cycle load as well. "Why isn't everyday Earth Day ?" | ||||
I know that PA is very much parallel to NY State with regard to many things. That said, I have NEVER seen a typical split-unit central A/C condensor that required a neutral.
You mean you figure in another 25% on top of the rating plate MCA? WHY???This message has been edited. Last edited by: Speedy Petey, | ||||
In my experience that is fine ! I see no reason 10G wire wouldn't carry the load. A 40A breaker is actually oversized, should be 35 but the installer probably only had a 40 with him. In most instances a 30 would be adequate. | ||||
I heard what you are saying, but will your inspectors not require a neutral and ground for the control circuits to be complete ? I realize that it may be 10% or less in total power consumption, but 100% important as well. "Why isn't everyday Earth Day ?" | ||||
Question from The Red One: "My central AC unit has the following product specs: AC voltx = 208/230 Phase=1 Hertz=60 Voltage range min=197 max=253 Min Circuit Amps=22.7 Max fuse Amps or HACR Type Circuit Breaker=35" The voltages in residential electrical services (in USA) are correct. The nameplate on the A/C specifies the minimum circuit required is 22.7 amps. A 10 gauge copper wire is rated at 30 amps. So the wiring is sufficient. The circuit breaker should be down-sized to a 2-pole, 30-amp breaker becasue the 10 gauge copper is RATED at 30 amps, AND the AC specs indicate 35 amps MAXIMUM fuse or HACR type breaker. Nearly all modern 2-pole breakers are HACR rated. If a circuit breaker is installed properly in a relatively temperature stable environment and average humidity, it should not need to be replaced after 7 years. Of course, this point is moot in your case. You need to change the breaker to match the amperage rating of the wiring. In response to an additional point added to the discussion, a neutral is NOT required on a balanced 240-volt load, which AC compressor units are. (At least EVERY one I've connected in the last 34 years has been.) If a neutral were required, the manufacturer would have indicated such in the wiring diagram.

More Information
Shepherd of the Hills is Branson's famous outdoor drama. This show features a full scale barn dance, and fun for all! As the tour leaves Inspiration Point, you'll travel down the mountainside to the site of Old Matt's grist mill. A monument marks the spot where author Harold Bell Wright camped while compiling the notes for The Shepherd of the Hills. You'll visit Old Matt's Cabin, the original home of the book's main characters. The Old Mill Theatre was carved into this wooded setting over 45 years ago. Rising high above the statues, Inspiration Tower also sits atop the point. Next you'll travel to pretty Inspiration Point, the second highest peak in Missouri. The gorgeous view from his campsite stretches across Mutton Hollow and into the hills of Northern Arkansas. It is very similar to the churches that Harold Bell Wright ministered in as he traveled across southern Missouri. They are The Shepherd, Old Matt, Aunt Mollie, Sammy Lane , Young Matt, and Little Pete. There are carved statues of six of the main characters that stand on Inspiration Point. The modest log cabin stands in it's original location, and is on the National Historic Registry. The Morgan Community Church was saved from demolition and moved to Inspiration Point in 1991. During the day, you can hop on a jeep-drawn tram for a guided tour of the homestead. You'll be able to step on stage for a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the nightly performance and learn how some of the incredible special effects are achieved.

A Futile Protest
Femen is a feminist group that began in Ukraine but seems to have spread to other European countries. It is known for staging topless protests, and is distinguished from some others of this ilk by the fact that many of its members are quite fetching.

In praise of Vladimir Bukovsky
Vladimir Bukovsky is the incredibly brave Soviet dissident who spent 12 years in prison and political psychiatric hospitals before his expulsion from the Soviet Union in 1976.

Michael Ledeen celebrates the occasion with this arresting observation: We've been friends for a long time, ever since »

Today Vladimir Putin signed the new Russian law that will prevent Americans from adopting Russian children. Taking effect January 1, it halts adoptions in process as well as adoptions whose completion is imminent. The New York Daily News reports that Russia has 740,000 children not in parental custody with 18,000 Russians standing in line to adopt children. The law is aimed at Americans and suffused with anti-American animus as well »

[Solved] hot to change .htm to .html
It shows error when i go back to homepage. the file extension shows htm but others are html. how can i fix it?
Are you using Windows or Mac? In windows you can go in control panel under files/folders and where it says "view file extensions" check that.. That will show the path of your files. Then right click on your htm/rename/.html
Im sure the MAC method for this could be similar but i have never owned or used a mac so i wouldn't be able to tell you. You could try here.
I am using windows. when i go to control panel i dont see files/folders. how can i get it?
Control Panel / Folder Options / View / 9th Checkbox down = uncheck it :)
thaks a lot. it worked)
Glad i could help a fellow Windows user. We are very scarce around here, but its ok. Good luck with your site

BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Miracle is designed to fit your newborn perfectly from day one, without the need for an extra insert, inset or pillow. You carry your newborn close to your heart – high up on your chest and facing you – providing that essential closeness while at the same time allowing you supervision of baby's breathing. The baby carrier is developed in cooperation with pediatricians and is anatomically adjustable to fit your growing child. This means that baby's head, neck and back are properly supported at the same time as baby's legs and hips are kept in the correct position – right from day one.
Age: From newborn (at least 8 lbs/3.5 kg) up to 26 lbs/12 kg. Materials: 100% organically grown cotton. Safety: BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Miracle meets the safety requirements of ASTM F2236-10. Product care: Machine wash, warm (40°C). Wash separately with a gentle, bleach-free detergent. Never iron trim or mesh material.
The head support plays a vital role in providing support for the newborn baby's neck. It is adjustable and can be folded down once the child can hold his or her head up (around four months) and carried facing forwards.
Carrying your child facing you, in an upright position,permits the free passage of air. Eye contact can be maintained and allows supervison of baby's breathing.
We collaborate with pediatricians. Because important issues call for real answers, our close cooperation with leading pediatricians has served as a guiding light right from the start in 1961.
Extra soft and gentle for baby With your baby in mind. For someone who is new to the world, being carried in a baby carrier should feel cozy and pleasant. And why the seams on BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Miracle have been placed on the outside, so they won't chafe baby's arms and legs. The fabric on the inside of the baby carrier was designed to be particularly smooth and gentle on sensitive skin. All of the materials used are tested and guaranteed free from harmful substances, and comply with the requirements of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1 for baby products. To us that's important!
Waist belt and flexible carrying for superior comfort. New, adjustable design with an ergonomic waist belt allows flexible carrying in a variety of ways.
Extra soft and naturally organic. Made from soft, organically grown cotton. Non-chafing seams.
Light-weight and convenient The baby carrier is light-weight, easy-to-use and folds neatly into a compact package. It is easy to carry in the storage pouch on the inside of the baby carrier itself. In addition, the baby carrier dries quickly after being washed.

Something changed for me on May 8 as I was traveling north on the Yellowhead Highway just before Valemount. I was enjoying a mid-afternoon drive on a sunny and warm day. It was a perfect day for a drive...
A monstrous tornado at least a half-mile wide roared through the Oklahoma City suburbs Monday, flattening entire neighborhoods and destroying an elementary school with a direct blow as children and teachers huddled against winds up to 200 mph. At least 51 people were killed, including at least 20 children, and officials said the death toll was expected to rise.

Seth MacFarlane gets the Oscars started with "We Saw Your Boobs." (Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times) |
"Tonight, for the first time, the Oscars have a theme," Seth MacFarlane said at the start of this year's Academy Awards, adding that Sunday night's show would be celebrating the marriage of film and music. Moments later, the host was cavorting around the stage singing a song that seemed pulled from the writers room at his animated series "Family Guy" rather than one built for the regal Oscar proceedings.
"We saw your boobs," MacFarlane cheerily sang, a performance William Shatner, who was dressed as Capt. James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise but acting more like he was playing a parody of himself on "Saturday Night Live," promised would offend "a lot of the actresses in the audience."
One by one, MacFarlane checked off actresses and the films in which they have gone bare. Naomi Watts in "Mulholland Drive," Anne Hathaway in "Brokeback Mountain," Charlize Theron in "Monster," Jodie Foster in "The Accused." Kate Winslet in "whatever you're shooting right now."
Oscars 2013: Nominee list | Red carpet | Fashion
Some looked more game to the routine than others. Lead actress nominee Watts gave a frozen stare that's already been immortalized in .gif form, while her competitor in the category, Jennifer Lawrence, gave a heroic arm pump after MacFarlane sang, "We haven't seen Jennifer Lawrence's boobs at all."
Theron didn't look pleased either, but it was clear that all was forgiven -- or that she was at least in on the gag -- when she appeared onstage moments later with MacFarlane and Channing Tatum to gamely dance while the host sang the 1936 Oscar-winning "Swing Time" song "The Way You Look Tonight."
MacFarlane, who himself released an album of jazz and swing traditionals with 2011's "Music Is Better Than Words," has peppered his series "Family Guy" with references to classical musicals, albeit with a sardonic twist. Songs such as "This House Is Freakin' Sweet!" have been compared to productions in "Annie," while animated barbershop quartets have delivered such news as "You Have AIDS."
Oscars 2013: Nominee list | Red carpet | Ballot | Fashion | Trivia | Timeline
MacFarlane's opening attempted to strike a similar balance between reverence and the profane. In addition to the word "boobs," the opening also included MacFarlane, Daniel Radcliffe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a gamely trio singing and dancing to "High Hopes," from 1959's "A Hole in the Head." Fun fact: Both "High Hopes" and "The Way You Look Tonight" were sung by Frank Sinatra.
There was also a bit with Sally Field that poked fun at her days in "The Flying Nun," and in which MacFarlane declared that Adele would soon be "shouting at the audience." It all came to a close with an Oscar-referencing rendition of "Be Our Guest."
There was plenty of music in this opening monologue, but coming after months of the film academy promising fans and viewers that this year's show would take music seriously -- not since 2009, for instance, have five songs been nominated for original song -- all this really proved is that MacFarlane is in tune with "boob" jokes.

Nice desk.
By cupiedoll
from toronto
This desk took about 4 hours to put together with 2 people. Mine came with some imperfections in the wood - couple of quite noticeable scratches. I just finished assembling so I haven't complained to Cymax yet, but intend to. Overall it is a nice desk. Very attractive and sturdy. I can't imagine ever having to move it - it is very heavy.

Excellent value
By Grad Student T
from Frederick, MD
This is a very good quality desk. I love the hutch, it's got tons of storage space. Worth every penny. Took a long time to assemble and was very heavy, but it's because it's good quality material. Looks very sharp.

Great Desk
By Shannon
from Kansas
About Me Budget Shopper
I am a college student and a mother and this desk is great. Beware that they don't send any extra parts and they're not labeled very well so take care when sorting them out and putting it together. It's awesome that the hutch can go on either side and easily holds my 25+ big medical books so that's nice. It also looks classy. Definitly a good buy for the cost. I had a little issue with the pre-drilled holes on the drawers being slightly off so check those with a level before screwing the runners in, but that's an easy fix for the value of this desk.

Title: | A prototype of an enterprise information collaboration platform |
Author: | Gadde, Maya |
Description: | Bringing customers, partners, and suppliers closer together through the Web in a truly collaborative environment requires extensive information sharing, increasingly in real-time. Mature collaborative e-Business will enable closely integrated business processes across the enterprise and with business partners. This thesis focuses on developing a new data infrastructure called "Enterprise Information Collaboration Platform" that will scale to meet increasingly intense demands of rapidly delivering and exchanging information across the enterprise for collaborative e-Business. This platform extends the breadth, depth, and reach of business insight with a flexible architecture that will enable companies to be more nimble by continuously refining their analytic techniques as they adjust business goals and strategies. This platform extends the capabilities of enterprise OLTP systems by aggregating and caching critical back-office data to meet the real-time retrieval and data analysis needs of collaborative e-Business. This platform enables: • Analysis to span functional, organizational, and enterprise boundaries. • Integration by drawing business information from dissimilar enterprise systems. • Summarization and delivery of information to address all collaboration needs. The architecture of this platform comprises of data integration, data aggregation, data presentation and data collaboration components. These components are developed using J2EE technologies such as Java, JSP, Servlets and JDBC. The technologies used in this platform provide scalability, flexibility and platform independence. |

A 22-year-old Sampson County man has landed in trouble with law enforcement in two counties, and has been jailed because of those troubles.
Jessie Kaheem Henry, 22, 469 Ezzell Road, Clinton, is facing felony drug charges in both Duplin and Sampson counties after having been picked up by authorities following citizen complaints that led to his arrest.
According to Sampson Cpl. Marcus Smith, complaints against Henry were apparently lodged in counties and, because of them, an investigation into the allegations was launched.
"Through that investigation warrants were obtained in both counties," Smith said.
Henry is currently charged in Sampson and Duplin with possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver a Schedule II controlled substance, sell of a Schedule II controlled substance, delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was jailed in Sampson under a $30,000 secured bond.
No details were available relating to the Duplin charges.
Henry is expected to make an appearance in Sampson County District Court Jan. 11.
Sheriff Jimmy Thornton has praised the work of Sampson citizens who provided tips that help officers solve crimes. Being that "nosey neighbor," he has often said, makes the difference in neighborhoods and often prevents crimes from happening.

Cases Of Lesser-Known Virus Reported At Arkansas Pre-Schools
By: Jocelyn Tovar, KARK 4 NEWS
Updated: November 30, 2012
At Cathy's Little Angels, Oates watches kids sneeze, cough, spit and so everything is wiped down with bleach repeatedly throughout the day.
"It spreads constantly, it spreads to us workers," says Oates.
This time of the year officials with the Arkansas Health Department say viruses can spread through daycares and pre-schools like wildfire.
"Most at risk are little ones under the age of two," said Ed Barham.
The flu and common cold you're probably familiar with, but what about Respiratory Syncytial Virus or RSV? A highly contagious virus that can lead to fever and respiratory distress in children.
A pre-school in Plainview this week had three kids test positive for the virus which can grow into a series health concern. "Keep them home, treat the symptoms and help them get well," said Barham, "With lots of rest and keep them away from other kids."
RSV can be spread through coughing or sneezing but also stays on surfaces like toys and countertops.
"Keep ourselves healthy so we can be healthy for the kids," said Oates.
Which is why she continues to scrub everywhere those little hands have touched.

New Moon, New Cast Members…and New Abs!
Posted by panaura on 21st November 2009
New Moon, the highly anticipated sequel to Twilight, hit theatres yesterday, and the turn out was record breaking. This film built on Twilight, offering more dynamic and intense relationships, more humor and more exposed skin.
Several new boys joins the cast of New Moon, acting as the ever-shirtless Quileute tribe of werewolves. But most of all, New Moon shows Taylor Lautner, a.k.a Jacob, in a whole new light. He's stronger, faster and so much more than a 16 year old boy should be. In the book, Jacob's character was a little more pathetic, causing a drastic lead for Team Edward. But since Taylor Lautner's physical transformation, I wouldn't doubt if the lead shifted to Team Jacob.
Overall, the film had it's slow moments, along with countless laugh-out-loud scenes. The audience's response seemed to be a good one, so I'd say it's well worth the ten dollar ticket.

Toronto Raptors News – 2013 Raptors Updates
The Toronto Raptors may be in last place in the Atlantic Division, but they look like a squad with a lot of potential going forward. The Raptors young lineup featuring Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Andrew Bargnani, and Jonas Valanciunas was significantly boosted by the addition of Rudy Gay who they acquired from the
Memphis Grizzlies
mid-season. Gay has played well for the Raptors so far, averaging 21 points and over six rebounds per game, and the future looks bright. The team is out of the NBA Playoffs right now, but look for them to finish strong and challenge for a spot in the postseason next year.
The Raptors have the cheapest away ticket of any team in the
, averaging $85 at the beginning of the season. The Raptors are the only Canadian team in the NBA so local road trips might include Divisional games in New York against the
Brooklyn Nets
New York Knicks
. Raptors fans will pay $13 more per ticket on average at the
Air Canada Centre
(also home to the
Toronto Maple Leafs
). In comparison, preseason Toronto Raptors tickets cost about half that of the regular season. However, the Raptors preseason roster did not include Gay. Many games in the second half of the season on the Raptors schedule have cheap Raptors tickets available with get-in prices under $20.

Enabling Highly Available and Scalable Hadoop
Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters and nodes of computers, designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Hadoop is being used by enterprises across verticals for Big Data analytics to help make better business decisions based on large data sets.
VMware enables you to easily and efficiently deploy and use Hadoop on your existing virtual infrastructure. Leverage vSphere to deploy an Apache Hadoop cluster in minutes, while improving availability of the Hadoop cluster. VMware is making two open source contributions: Hadoop Virtual Extensions to make Hadoop virtualization-aware, and
Serengeti to enable deployment of a Highly Available Hadoop cluster in minutes.
- Achieve better Apache Hadoop performance in virtual environments through Hadoop Virtualization Extensions
- Simplify operations with rapid deployment of Apache Hadoop cluster, including distributions from multiple vendors with Serengeti
- Remove single point of failure through one click High Availability for Apache Hadoop NameNode and JobTracker, as well as Hadoop tools like Pig and Hive
Improve Hadoop performance with Hadoop Virtualization Extensions (HVE)
VMware is working with the Apache Hadoop community to enhance the support for failure and locality topologies and make Hadoop virtualization-aware. The changes are not specific to VMware hypervisors. These extensions will allow Hadoop to evolve new deployment models on virtualized infrastructure and should enable enterprises to deploy more elastic and secure Hadoop clusters.
Deploy Hadoop in minutes with Serengeti
Deploy an Apache Hadoop cluster (HDFS, MapReduce, Pig, Hive) in minutes on your existing vSphere cluster using Serengeti , an open source project headed by VMware.
- Get up and running with Hadoop in minutes
- Flexible configuration profile for customizing your cluster
- Run leading Hadoop distributions: Apache Hadoop, Cloudera Distribution Including Apache Hadoop (CDH), Greenplum HD, Hortonworks Data Platform, etc.
