The daughter of artists, actress Ali MacGraw prepared for an art career of her own at Wellesley College. At 22, MacGraw entered the world of high fashion as assistant editor at Harper's Bazaar and went on to work as a photographer's assistant, at least until someone decided that her looks were far too dazzling to be kept behind the camera. Before long, she was adorning magazine covers worldwide and appearing in TV commercials (she's the beach girl in the "Polaroid Swinger" camera ads of the mid-'60s). After an unremarkable movie debut in 1968, she became a full-fledged star in 1969's Goodbye Columbus. Perhaps no one was more impressed by MacGraw's charms than Paramount executive Robert Evans, who fell in love with her and began guiding the destinies of her career (Evans became MacGraw's second husband in 1971). Her next film role was unquestionably the best: Jenny Cavilleri, the charmingly foul-mouthed, slowly dying heroine of the 1970 smash hit Love Story, which earned her an Oscar nomination. Evans continued promoting MacGraw's career even after she'd left him in favor of actor Steve McQueen, whom she'd met while filming Sam Peckinpah's The Getaway (1973), and to whom she was married from 1973 to 1978. After losing the role of Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby (1974) to Mia Farrow, MacGraw took a four-year sabbatical from films. Her 1978 comeback picture was Convoy, which reunited her with Sam Peckinpah; inspired by a CB radio craze, the film was regarded as a great step backward for all concerned. After playing Alan King's long-suffering lady friend in Just Tell Me What You Want, MacGraw confined her infrequent acting appearances to the small screen. She was briefly a regular as Lady Ashley Mitchell on the weekly Dynasty, and starred in the miniseries The Winds of War (1983) and China Rose (1985). MacGraw also appeared in the TV movies Gunsmoke: The Long Ride (1992), playing a character named Uncle Jane, and Natural Causes (1994). In 1991, Ali MacGraw published Moving Pictures, her autobiography.

I thought it would be a staid post, with links and notes and some words from me such as "very nice perfumes."
What a shock that I totally fell in love with ALL four of these stunners!
Incense Pure: Perhaps I have found my incense. I had been sampling some CdG's and Heeley's Cardinal and nothing was quite right. Incense Pure is perfect; it's the scent of church without being hit over the head by the censor, yet it's more than that, as well.
Lieu de Reves: Could violets and rose and heliotrope be more gorgeous?
Rose Musc: Beatiful soft rose with staying power and a little something else.
Sienna Musk: A spicy and woody musk with a little pinch of cypress to keep you on your toes.
Oh why oh why did I venture into Laurie Erickson's world - I'll never come out!
PS: I received two of these samples from a fellow blogger - thank you!

|Hepatitis C Treatment and Atherosclerosis
|Official Title
|Hepatitis C Eradication and Progression of Atherosclerosis
|Brief Summary
This study will examine the effects of treatment for hepatitis C on atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. Hepatitis C is a disease of the liver caused by a virus that can cause permanent damage to that organ. Treatment can clear the virus in at least half of patients and reduce the risk of serious complications of the disease. Atherosclerosis is an accumulation of cholesterol and fat in the arteries that can narrow blood vessels, leading to chest pain, heart attack or stroke.
Because the liver controls cholesterol and fat levels in the blood, hepatitis C infection may be a risk factor for atherosclerosis by increasing cholesterol and fat in blood vessels. Treatment of the hepatitis C may reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and its consequences. This study will determine what effect hepatitis C treatment has on the rate of atherosclerosis and narrowing of blood vessels and on the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Patients 30 years of age and older with current or past infection with hepatitis C may be eligible for this study. Participants undergo the following tests and procedures:
|Detailed Description
|Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with changes in lipid metabolism in the liver and the peripheral blood. Patients with chronic hepatitis C infection tend to have low levels of cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. These levels increase in many patients after treatment and successful eradication of the virus. However, it is not known whether this increase is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and thus may increase their risk for atherosclerotic disease. To determine whether eradication of HCV affects atherosclerosis progression, we propose to examine up to 200 patients with chronic hepatitis C for markers of atherosclerosis and the risk of its complications. Up to 100 patients who have cleared HCV and recovered will be matched and compared to patients who failed to respond and continue to have chronic hepatitis C. The atherosclerosis assessment will include careful history for cardiovascular risk factors, a battery of blood tests for lipid levels and relevant biomarkers followed by specialized imaging tests of the carotid and coronary arteries, including ultrasound imaging of intima-media thickness of the carotid arteries and computerized axial tomography of the heart and coronary arteries. The primary end point in the assessment will be differences in maximal carotid intima media thickness and secondary end points will include differences in coronary artery calcium score, Framingham risk scores and other measurements or atherosclerosis. This cross-sectional study will set the stage for a more formal prospective assessment of cardiovascular risk factors and evidence of coronary and cerebrovascular disease among patients being treated with antiviral agents.

Wish you a Happy New Year & Pongal!
In one part of Tamil nadu (Madurai,Trichy and sourrunding places), Jallikattu begins as part of Pongal celebration. If you are Tamilian, you should be familiar of this wild/adventure"game. Yes - in olden days (Sangam Kallam) bull taming is called "Eru tazhuval" - embrace bull) considered as a courageous sport and played by Tamil warriors.
We symbolize cow as god and worship it, but did Jallikattu (bull taming) give us another perspective?
Rinse the rice until the water comes out clear. Drain the water and soak it for 30 min.
After soaking add 2 cups of water + 1 cup of milk. Keep in pressure cooker in medium flame and let 5 to 6 whistles blow before switching off the stove.
Meanwhile, add ¼ cup of water to grated jaggery and melt in low flame. Once it turns syrup drain in fine mesh (DO not skip you will be surprised how much black particles and sand )

Flooding death toll rises as NSW towns evacuated
Residents are being evacuated from parts of northern New South Wales as the discovery of a man's body raises the death toll to two.
Evacuation orders are in place in several towns along the mid-north coast, including Kempsey, Port Macquarie and Bellingen, and emergency services are asking people not to enter floodwaters.
Major flooding is continuing around Port Macquarie, particularly downstream at Wauchope where the Hastings River peaked at 7.2 metres on Saturday evening.
There are flood warnings for more than 10 other rivers in northern New South Wales as floodwater from a low-pressure system continues to hit the region.
The SES's Alison Richards says affected residents near Port Macquarie should leave immediately. An evacuation centre has been set up in the Port Macquarie town centre.
"We are concerned that the river is rising quite quickly," she said.
"We are expecting a peak later tonight of 1.9 metres at Settlement Point. This is regarded as a major flood level."
Some businesses in the Port Macquarie CBD are being sand-bagged.
The SES also predicts Bellingen may experience the worst flooding it has seen in years, and evacuation orders have been issued for lower parts of the catchment.
More than 16,000 homes are without power from Byron Bay to Taree.
The flood warnings come as SES volunteers discover the body of a man in a submerged car north of Grafton at 1:00pm (AEDT).
Police say they have retrieved the body of the man, but the car remains stuck in floodwater.
The discovery takes the death toll to two after 17-year-old Luke O'Neill, from Bonny Hills, drowned after being swept into a stormwater drain south of Port Macquarie.
He had been waist-deep in floodwater collecting golf balls with two friends at the Camden Haven Golf Course at Kew during the height of yesterday's storm.
A force of water trapped him in a large drainpipe. He drowned and his body was found this morning at a dam about 40 metres away.
Another boy, aged 16, was sucked into the drain while looking for his friend.
He is being treated at Port Macquarie Base Hospital with water on his lungs.
Mid-north coast police inspector Kim Fehon says it is a clear warning for others.
"The most important message with the terrible weather that we are having at the moment is for all people to stay away from water-affected areas," he said.
"This was a tragic outcome and we really don't want it to happen to anyone else."
Further north, near Coffs Harbour, a Glenreagh mother and her five children have managed to escape rising floodwaters.
The family called the SES for help this morning when their home became swamped.
Overnight on Friday an XPT passenger train near Glenreagh became stranded with about 100 people on board due to fallen trees and a landslide.
Passengers had to wait it out for 17 hours while earth-moving equipment cleared the tracks and allowed the train to return to Coffs Harbour.
A destructive low-pressure system has been moving through the region, keeping emergency crews busy.
At least 330 millimetres of rain was dumped on some parts of the Bellinger River catchment, near Coffs Harbour, overnight.
The State Emergency Service says the river has peaked near record levels set in 1974.
Major flooding is also expected for the Orara River west of Coffs Harbour and the Hastings River near Port Macquarie.
Towns evacuate
Evacuation orders have already been initiated for lower parts of the Bellinger River catchment, and evacuation centres have been set up at Bellingen and Urunga.
The Macleay River at Kempsey is expected to exceed 6.4 metres today.
The Hastings River is expected to peak at 10:00pm tonight, causing major flooding.
The Clarence River is expected to peak early tomorrow morning at Grafton at around 5.6 metres.
Sam Colwell from the Clarence-Nambucca SES says it is not expected to be as bad as the floods three weeks ago, but low-lying areas are being watched closely.
"Ulmarra, Brushgrove and Cowper are areas that are low-lying and they do get affected and isolated quite easily," she said.
"We are certainly keeping a close watch on the Clarence to see what effect it's going to have in those particular areas.
"We just want to make sure that people are alerted early on and that way we can get them to prepare their homes."
Clean-up begins
The severe weather system is now tracking south and slowly weakening.
In Ballina, a big clean-up effort is underway after winds of up to 230 kilometres an hour lifted roofs from the town's bank, real estate agency and child care centre.
The winds brought down trees and power lines across the region, and power is still out to over 30,000 people.
Ballina Shire Council general manager Paul Hickey says sewerage and water systems are also out of action.
"[There's] a lot of pressure on the sewerage system with the influx of rain.
"So we've got pump-out trucks and other staff out helping. I'd encourage people to minimise their water use and sewerage use (this morning)."

I don't think light-emitting devices made many appearances in this thread. A lot of space heaters, maybe.
That's a shame, from my point of view, because the reason I was interested in the subject has to do with my feeling that in the US, the labeling system is not good for beekeepers, because it does not adequately distinguish between imported commodity honey and that which is produced here by conscientious American beekeepers. I'm not saying anything bad about beekeepers in other countries in general. But a lot of, for example, Chinese honey is not the best honey. There ought to be ways that the consumer can tell the difference.
I guess I'll have to start another thread.
Apologies in advance!

The first batch of new Java 7 certification exams have finally gone live.
Oracle recently announced that the Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 7 Programmer (OCAJP) exam was ready to be tackled by eager test takers (although beta test takers still haven't received their exam scores yet). Having completed the beta testing phase and post beta exam review, the final product presents test-taker with 90 questions that must be answered within 150 minutes. The required passing score? A whopping 75%, so test takers will want to use the full hour and a half to check and double-check their answers. At $300 a shot, these aren't exams people will want to take twice or a third time.
Of course, the Associate exam is now the precursor to the Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 7 Programmer (OCPJP) designation. The new Professional certification is the equivalent of the old Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) exam, but as of Java 7, the Associate certification is a pre-requisite. Yes, candidates must now pass two exams to obtain their Java Professional designation.
Currently, only the OCAJP exam is in full production. The OCPJP Upgrade Exam is currently in the post-beta review phase, and the full OCPJP exam hasn't even started with beta testing. The OCPJP exam is scheduled to go into the beta phase within the next month or two, and likely won't go live until mid-summer.
More information is availabe on Oracle's Certification Program page.

i have the brushless erevo 1/10 and i love it that thing is just a beast and is very tough and doesnt really break easy at all i was just wondering how is the 1/16 brushless compare to the 1/10???
alot of the same things that you upgrade on the 1/10 you upgrade on the 1/16 except for a few thing though. the 1/16 is fun for its size and has lots of power for being 1/16 scale. I dont know how the 1/10 is but i do have emaxx and it rips around fast so compared to 1/16 both are fun in either size. parts are cheaper too in the 1/16 scales
Living life.
There is no comparison they make look the same but 1/10 will do things that 1/16 won't. The mini is fun but by the time you finished upgrading it you would have wondered why I didn't get the 1/10.
Last edited by RC-Fan; 09-19-2012 at 01:00 AM.
like what exactly would it do that the 1/16 wont?? how is the 1/16 in grass??
IMO 1/16 is an on road vehicle even the smallest rock will knock it over.
so basically the 1/16 is a waste of money and time when you have the 1/10 brushless ??
It is fun, but not worth it, a pede 4x4 would be better option.
I had both.
1/16 is a pocket rocket, perfect for quick backyard bash sessions when you haven't got time to take out a larger truck.
Was very pleased to have mine for this reason only.
But if I was going someplace to bash, the 1/16 would stay at home.
I've had both as well, 1/10 e-revo is much better. It can handle just about any terrain. Yes the 1/16 is fast, but in reality going offroad with it besides flat gravel is not possible.
i also have them both but i prefer the 1/10 scale so, i sold the 1/16 so that i can focus on maintaining one truck only.
makes alot of sense...is there any truck that perfroms similar to a erevo brushless 1/10 thats cheaper on price??
either you go with non traxxas trucks they still run around $400-500. if you like to build slowly you might find it enjoyable. i know i have my fun doing my REVO-E build
well i already have the erevo 1/10 brushless and i love it...its very powerful and tough its my first monster truck and i dont feel the need to get another one after having this lol but i will ask how is the stampede 4x4?? how does it comapre to the brushless revo
I love the 1/10. It goes places your mini cant go. With the mini you limited in were you can bash... big brother however is big indeed; goes far and stays out later.
ERevo │ E-Revo BE
Like RC-Fan said the smallest rock will send the 1/16 flying. I had the 1/16 first then bought the 1/10, the big brother can do way more.
I take my mervs in the mountains to bash definitely more challenging especially with a modified motor but we have fun. Then down on the flats for some 3 cell speed runs. Impressive to see a little merv go 60 but the erbe is superior on rough terrain!
I have a mini revo coming tomorrow. I barely have time to play with my trucks (rc18t, Pede, pede4x4, rustler) so I'm selling them all and going to keep the mini revo. From owning the rc18t I love how easy it is to bring something small with you. You can pack it in your suitcase. Its so small your clothes won't mind
I love how the mini is the perfect size for a backpack!
MERV, Broken Alias.
If you already have an ERBE you really have the best of the best traxxas offers. So why are you looking to downgrade. IMO, instead of getting another, smaller, less capable monster truck, why not get something different like a rally or rustler or something. No 4X4 monster truck is going to make you happy once youve owned an ERBE. Especially NOT a 1/16.
The only reason I can see for owning a MERV would be if space was a factor. If you had the need to pack it up into a small space and take it places, the MERV is great. But, if your looking for all out bashing fun... don't waste your time/money. You have the best, get something that offers a different driving experience.
Since the ERBE was out of my price range, I decided to get the mini Revo a few years ago. It's been nothing but a tank for the past year. I don't treat my mini like a mini, I go BIG with mine (but not to the point that it's abuse, I control mine as much as possible). It makes for an excellent on-road vehicle as said above, but off road, it's a tough little guy. Here's a video of a bashing session my friend and I did yesterday. His is a mini Summit converted to the E-Revo. Mine is the green and dark colored w/ GoPro decals on the sides (I changed bodies mid-run). His is the blue Raptor.

Brooklin, Maine, August 4, 2011 -- Atlantic Boat Company launched George Morris' new HOLY MOLY, hull number 393 of the DUFFY 35 model.
George approached Atlantic Boat with a challenge: build me a DUFFY 35 able to cruise long-range at 22 knots fully loaded at 80% engine load with large fuel capacity and fuel economy. The main goal was weight reduction, with sound reduction as a secondary goal.
The hull's fiberglass laminate was redesigned from the ground up, engineered to ABS standards; carbon fiber caps on the stringers increased the strength of the stringers while decreasing their weight; the interior cabinetry was built from foam core composite fiberglass and integrated into the structure giving added stiffness; and the deck was re-engineered with a mixture of E-glass and carbon fiber to produce a stiffer, lighter deck and cabin structure.
Powered by a 575hp Cat C9, HOLY MOLY cruises through the water at 24 knots at 80% engine load. She supports 400 gallons of fuel in three fiberglass tanks, 75 gallons of water, and a 70"x35"x24" cockpit fish hold. Built for rod and reel sport fishing there are ten rod holders and two Scotty 2109 electric down-riggers. Her electronics include a Raymarine electronics package with two E120 wide-screen displays, 48" open array Raymarine radar, DSM300 Raymarine sounder w/1000 watt transducer, Raymarine autopilot, Sirius weather satellite, and an AIS monitoring system.
Safety includes an eight-man Zodiac life raft, EPIRB, four survival suits, fire extinguishers, four water-tight compartments below decks equipped with five high-capacity bilge pumps, and a combination layer [8" thick] of fiberglass and high density foam running stem to stern in the bottom of the keel for emergency impact resistance.
HOLY MOLY will reside with her owner in Edmonds, WA, fishing Puget Sound for salmon and halibut.

Stamford, CT Food for Thought:
According to the Cookware Manufacturers Association (CMA), home chefs tend to focus more on the ingredients they are cooking than on the type of pan to use. Yet for the best results, consumers should actually be focusing on using both the right ingredients and the right cooking equipment.
"When it comes to cookware, form really does follow function," says Mary Rodgers, Director of Marketing Communications for Cuisinart. "For example, soups and stews require tall pots so that the heat can circulate while keeping ingredients submerged and evaporation to a minimum. For dishes that require quick cooking like sautéing, a skillet or sauté pan is better suited because the vessel's shallow sides and extensive surface area allow more of the food's surface to be exposed to the heat." Rodgers adds that Cuisinart's decision to roll out a collection of specialty cookware addresses the significance of specialized pieces in order to optimize performance in the kitchen.
What to Look for When Purchasing Cookware:
Superior Construction:
Cuisinart's Chef's Classic™ Non-Stick Hard Anodized Specialty Collection combines the advantages of hard anodized cookware with the convenience of non-stick. The cookware features triple layer construction with a hard anodized exterior, aluminum core and a titanium reinforced non-stick interior. The hard anodized surface is dense, nonporous, and highly wear resistant while the aluminum core delivers quick and even heat distribution and eliminates hot spots. The cooking surface is 100% aluminum free and constructed of non-stick Quantanium® reinforced with titanium.
Each item in the new collection is tailored to meet specific needs, from a hearty breakfast of pancakes and eggs to freshly grilled fish or Asian stir-fry. The collection includes: an 11-inch Square Griddle; 12-inch Round Grill Pan; 13-inch X 20-inch Double Burner Griddle; and
12-½ inch Stir-Fry with Cover and Helper Handle. Also included is a seven-piece Egg Poacher Set, which consists of a 2-qt. sauté pan with cover and four non-stick poaching inserts.
Cuisinart Chef's Classic™ Hard Anodized Specialty Items /page 2
Consumers are attracted to non-stick cookware because of its healthful benefits, food release features and easy cleanup. Unlike its predecessors, the non-stick surface of Cuisinart's Hard Anodized collection can withstand high temperatures. It is oven safe for up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, consumers can safely use metal utensils without damaging the cooking surface. Other product benefits include Cool Grip™ handles that are constructed of riveted stainless steel for increased strength and durability, and tempered glass lids that retain natural juices while allowing cooks to monitor the process.
Just the Facts:
Suggested Retail Price:
$130 each for the Stir-Fry Pan and the 13-inch x 20-inch Double Burner Griddle
$110 each for the 12-inch Round Grill Pan and the seven-piece Egg Poacher set
$80 for the 11-inch Square Grill Pan

This is a case you may not recognize but NY is very lucky to have.
Thank you for paving the way.
145 A.D.2d 537 (1988)
John W. Kluge, Respondent,
William D. Fugazy et al., Appellants, et al., Defendants
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Second Department.
December 19, 1988
Mangano, J. P., Thompson, Brown and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and the motion is granted.
As the result of a series of financial transactions, the 538*538 plaintiff received an assignment of a mortgage as collateral security for a promise of indemnification. The underlying note was not assigned and was expressly excluded from transfer.
The plaintiff's first and second causes of action for foreclosure and a deficiency judgment, respectively, must fail since foreclosure of a mortgage may not be brought by one who has no title to it and absent transfer of the debt, the assignment of the mortgage is a nullity (Merritt v Bartholick, 36 N.Y. 44, 45; Flyer v Sullivan, 284 App Div 697, 698; Beak v Walts, 266 App Div 900; Manne v Carlson, 49 App Div 276, 278). Moreover, we find that the written agreement and assignment between the parties were clear and unambiguous. They indicate that no delivery of the underlying obligation was intended, and they were entered into by sophisticated, counseled businessmen (see, Chimart Assocs. v Paul, 66 N.Y.2d 570, 573; Nau v Vulcan Rail & Constr. Co., 286 N.Y. 188, 198-199, rearg denied 287 N.Y. 630). As a result, the plaintiff's third cause of action, for specific performance, must fail.© 2010-19 FORECLOSURE FRAUD | by DinSFLA.

Greetings everyone.
I couldn't see whether or not there was a place where you could introduce yourself if you were new, so I gathered I should post in here...
I'm Mark from Great Britain, and I'm a supporter of the mighty Penguins. However coverage of hockey over here is pretty scarce, only one free game a week on terrestrial (they had Pens vs. Rangers on 2 or so weeks back)...there is a PPV channel which is majorly expensive. I keep track through the internet of how the Pens are doing.
I look forward to seeing everyone around, I see everyone around here is pretty friendly so that's good!

802.11ac: The Fifth Generation of Wi-Fi Technology
802.11ac: The Fifth Generation of Wi-Fi Technology
In the last few months, there have been a lot of written on the emerging 802.11ac standard. This next generation of Wi-Fi promises to be very exciting since 802.11ac will address some critical pain points faced by users of 802.11n today – more bandwidth and more simultaneous users. To help explain the technology, we put together a new Fundamentals video. You'll learn about new features such as:
- Operating in the 5GHz band
- Wider channels (80MHz & 160MHz) which means more capacity in the band
- Increased modulation with 256 QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), providing a significant increase in throughput over 802.11n which has 64 QAM
- Downlink Multi-User MIMO which allows an AP to transmit to multiple clients simultaneously
- Up to 8 Spatial streams which doubles the number of spatial streams used in 802.11n
Cisco, along with several other vendors is leading the definition of 802.11ac through the IEEE standards body with the expectation to have the standard ratified by the end of 2013. In the meantime there is a lot of activity around the specification centered on a number of items such as wrapping the specification, interoperability and Wi-Fi Alliance certification which is targeted for early 2013.
Consumer devices will be the first to market access points with some vendors having already announced product availability. It is expected that the availability of enterprise access points will lag behind by a few months. Of course, what will drive the use of 802.11ac will be the availability of devices such as laptops, smartphones and tablets that support the standard. Don't initially expect the advertised Gbps screaming throughput with these devices. Many of these devices will only be 1×1 MIMO but much like 802.11n, other devices could follow up with 2×2 or maybe 3×3.
The more important fact is these devices can operate exclusively on the 5GHz band. This is important for a few reasons: One being that the 2.4GHz band is crowded, real crowded. I was recently at Interop in Las Vegas where on the show floor you could find roughly 750 radios operating on one of the three non-overlapping channels of the 2.4GHz band. This might not be a typical scenario in your network but it still highlights the overuse of this unlicensed band. Some of this can also be attributed to the fact that a lot of these devices do not support dual bands (2.4 & 5GHz) and do not have the option of operating on the 5GHz band. The second point is that the 5GHz band has a lot more channels available. Unlike the 2.4GHz, which depending on which country you reside, could have 11 to 13 available channels. However, the non-overlapping channels are limited to 3 or 4 (depending on your region). The 5GHz band has 21 or 24 channels (depending region of the world you live) which should be more than enough for things like channel bonding.
When 802.11ac consumer products become commonplace, especially the laptops, tablets and smartphones, more people will want to use these devices in their work place. That's right. Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) will drive the use of 802.11ac into your enterprise network. So if you are an enterprise network manager pondering what you would do with 802.11ac; besides the potential for a lot more bandwidth for HD video streaming, large imaging transfers, etc., another driver will be BYOD. With the growth consumer devices, one can expect that pressure may mount to support your employees' new shiny tablet that has 802.11ac in your enterprise network.
However, we are not there yet. It is important to keep in mind that with all of exciting features that 802.11ac will bring, 802.11n is still essential to Enterprise Networks and the mobile revolution in general
We have seen an increased demand on wireless networks which can be attributed to the explosion of video consumption and via BYOD, the growing number of wireless devices being used. However, 802.11n is still your best bet to meet these demands for bandwidth and coverage on enterprise wireless networks with 802.11ac addressing the ever increasing bandwidth demands of future networks.
So with the help of our good friends at TechWise TV, here is a primer on what 802.11ac is all about. And while you are learning about 802.11ac, look for the thinly veiled reference to a Mel Brooks movie somewhere in the video. Enjoy!

Nice and simple explanation of next-generation WiFi within optimal environment.
Sounds like the next generation of wi-fi technologies is taking a big leap forward. I can't exactly get my head around it yet but the video was very interesting.

SHOP BY CATEGORYBack to all Nutiva
Nutiva is a powerhouse brand that has made it their mission to help consumers escape the tangled web of the industrialized food system by providing beneficial, wholesome options. Nutiva offers pure, good-for-you ingredients that they hope will revolutionize the way the world eats. And in so doing, the company seeks to bring balance, sustainability, and a sense of community to the world.
In their journey to bring nutritious food to the masses, the people behind Nutiva stumbled upon the power of superfoods. These are foods that are not only good for the body, but also happen to be kind to the planet. They include the staples upon which Nutiva has built their name—hemp, coconut, chia, and red palm, to name a few.
Social and environmental responsibility
Nutiva's vision to spread health and wellness across the world does not stop with their commitment to creating healthy products. The company considers social and environmental responsibility to be a core part of their culture, too. That's why they insist on sourcing organic foods, obtaining fair trade certification for all their ingredients, and ensuring that their facilities operate sustainably. Since 1999, Nutiva has also donated one percent of every sale to sustainable agriculture groups to encourage programs that enrich the soil and support a healthy world. So far, this has amounted to contributions of more than four million dollars.
In addition to that, the company funds activities such as tree planting in local communities and has worked with Common Vision (a nonprofit organization) to plant an orchard of fruit trees in every public elementary, middle, and high school in their homebase of Richmond, California. They believe that by planting orchards, it will provide students with access to fresh and locally grown produce, and contribute to building a healthier Richmond community through shared resources and accomplishments.
Another way Nutiva gives back is by helping fund Urban Tilth, an organization that cultivates urban gardens in California's Contra Costa County, which help build a more sustainable and healthy food system. Urban Tilth's goal is to produce five percent of Richmond's food supply since a sizable portion of the local population faces difficulty accessing fresh, healthy food. The organization's effort to create edible gardens in schools directly addresses these food access concerns while also fostering a culture of healthy eating.
The Nutiva Foundation
Founder John Roulac's sincerely believes in social responsibility and the power of corporate giving, facets that have been present ever since he started Nutiva. With this in mind, Roulac launched a program that gives away one percent of Nutiva's annual sales to sustainable agriculture. The company's philanthropic efforts became so important that, in 2013, The Nutiva Foundation was born. The Nutiva Foundation has a mission to nurture people and the planet by supporting the advancement of healthy communities and ecologically sustainable agriculture.
Values and causes
The following are the causes that are nearest and dearest to Nutiva's heart, which they support through The Nutiva Foundation:
Sustainable farming
Nutiva supports biodiversity, permaculture, seed diversity, composting, native planting, integrated pest management, conservation, small-scale organic farming, and the cessation of pesticide and herbicide use.
Food and environmental activism
Nutiva supports GMO labeling and awareness, industrial hemp farming, fair trade, food justice, food sovereignty, reduction of food waste, and environmental leadership.
Trees and gardens
Nutiva supports tree planting, school gardens, community gardens, gardening education, farmers markets, and community supported agriculture programs.
Healthy communities
Nutiva supports healthful school lunches, nutritional awareness, community restoration, youth outreach, local organic food programs, and healthful community initiatives.
Nutiva products

What was your first bird of 2012? Let us know in the comments…and, if you wrote a blog post or have a picture of your first bird of the year online somewhere, well, leave a link in the comments too.
Happy New Year from all of us at 10,000 Birds! And here's hoping you see many great birds, including lots of lifers, in 2012! After all, 2011 was a pretty great year and there is no reason 2012 can't be the same!
I think I got three! As I lay in bed I heard what were probably Rainbow Lorikeets. I rose at dawn, left the block saying to myself "please not a myna. Please not a myna", and straightway saw my first bird, which was a friarbird. Probably a Helmeted Friarbird, but it was there and gone. A moment later there was a stunning Pied Imperial Pigeon in the same place. So I'll say that one.
The birding here is rather good. I didn't see a myna until my third bird!
Well, mine was a European Magpie. Big cities aren't the best place in the world to watch birds, but this one came at my window and it was a great moment to begin this new year. Happy new year !
American GoldFinch on the Nyjer feeder, I just turned around after reading the post and there he was.
Lesser Goldfinch (green-backed) on the Nyjer feeder followed, before I could blink, by a House Finch on the black-oil sunflower feeder. First non-feeder bird of 2012: American Crow. Good birding to all this year!
I had an American Crow for my first bird. I am always happy if my first bird isn't a House Sparrow or starling.
I heard a Eurasian Blackbird sing in the dark of the morning, and the first bird I saw was a Carrion Crow.
Upon reading this post, I realized that I had yet to identify my first bird for 2012. I thought that a mere glance out the window would turn up a Tropical Kingbird, Turkey Vulture or Black Vulture but nothing was in sight! January 1st, 2012 is a beautiful, sunny, breezy day in the Central Valley of Costa Rica but mid morning is not the most productive time of the day to see anything avian. It took 5 minutes of scanning the treetops and wind-strewn skies to find 2012 bird number one- a Blue and White Swallow. Nice to get that instead of a Rufous-collared Sparrow or vulture! Happy 2012 to all!
Surf Scoter, out on the inlet in the morning light of the new year.
My first bird of the year was our resident Anna's Hummingbird on the feeder 🙂
I wasn't quick enough to get the camera out so here's a shot from 2009!
My first bird was one of the "urban" birds (house sparrow, european starling and pigeon). I'm not sure which was first because my first trip out of the new year was not for birding.
My first notable sighting was a peregrine falcon at the Long Island Railroad station at Jamaica in queens, NYC.
First heard: Northern Cardinal
First seen (a good 15 minutes into my run): Half a dozen European Starlings
First *interesting* bird: My good buddy, the Belted Kingfisher, buzzing the Chicago River
Oh, and @Corey: no Rock Doves encountered on the way to what I'm guessing was Jamaica Bay? 😉
Ring-billed Gull. Seen and heard. One of about 50,000 roosting on Jordan Lake in the predawn hours of the Chatham County, CBC.
I had 4: white ibis, snowy egret, little blue heron and a reddish egret, all fishing the same pond (and 4 entirely different fishing styles). Great way to start the year!
A group of magpies which is better than a murder of crows (which were my first heard bird of the year)…very common here in the Crowsnest Pass.
First bird of the year was an Eastern Screech Owl picked up before dawn on the South Nassau CBC in NY.
A lovely small flock of Bohemian Waxing, with the day rounded off with a half-dozen Red-tailed and Rough-legged Hawks! Sweet!
Three Anna's Hummingbirds. One female I think and two brilliant males dogfighting over the feeder. Enough 70 deg F days and they should be nesting fairly soon.
The first birds were Common Redpolls at my feeders. Blogged about it here: http://prairiebirder.wordpress.com/2012/01/01/the-first-bird-of-the-year/
Little Friarbird and Pheasant Coucal heard as we woke-first "seen" Bar-shouldered Dove.
My pair of American Crows woke me up to complain that there were no peanuts in their platform feeder! They even cawed to me the way that I caw to them, trying to get me to shamble downstairs so I would refill my feeders. I was very happy to see them, and hope they're able to raise another family this year. The last offspring they raised was hit by a car right in front of my house. I was devastated… Other than that, I saw my usual families of male and female Northern Cardinals, Black-capped Chickadees, my boisterous Blue Jays, and assorted Sparrows.
My New Year's Day was bracketed by owls: two Western Screech-Owls calling outside my window at 1:50 AM, and three Burrowing Owls in the afternoon, near the San Bernardino airport. Corey, the owls send their best ;~) Happy 2012!
@Corey: clever strategy! I'll have to try that next time a bizarre bird shows up here January 1. 🙂
Black Capped Chickadee, Pileated, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, Am. Goldfinch, and White breasted Nuthatch..all at the feeding station at the same time.
House Sparrow, in The Netherlands.
First rare bird, yesterday, Iceland Gull.
Happy 2012!
Black-capped Chickadee. Then Blue Jay. Thirty minutes later a raven. Four hours later, two Mourning Doves. Five days later heard a lone Evening Grosbeak flying by. We're just rockin' the birding world up here in our great white north. sigh.

SAN FRANCISCO - A California lawmaker believes that the last call for drinks at 2 a.m. is too early to set down the shot glasses and beer steins.
State Sen. Mark Leno's proposal to let the liquor flow until 4 a.m. as a way to draw more tourists — and with them more revenue and jobs — is already spawning a sharp debate from watering holes from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
Leno says the measure would make California more competitive with other hotspots like New York, Las Vegas and Miami.
Night-spot owners say a later last call will be good for business, but law enforcement officials argue that it increases the chances that cities will see more public drunkenness, violence, drunken driving and possibly fatalities.

ANAHEIM — Cal coach Mike Montgomery sees potential in his team after the undefeated Golden Bears won the DirecTV Classic by running away from Pacific 78-58 on Sunday night at the Anaheim Convention Center.
But the longtime coach wants to put an asterisk next to that sentiment. Cal, which has started the season 6-0 for the first time in Montgomery's time in Berkeley, will know a lot more about how good it can be in the coming weeks.
The journey begins Sunday at Wisconsin when the Bears play a strong Big Ten team. It continues at home Dec. 9 against No. 18 UNLV and Dec. 15 against No. 14 Creighton.
"We've gotten better," Montgomery said. "I think we've got talent. It is a matter of us taking advantage of that talent."
The Bears knew exactly what to do against Pacific (3-3) when looking to their backcourt to lead the way.
Guards Allen Crabbe scored 24 points and Justin Cobbs added 20, while Brandon Smith had 11 points and six assists.
Cal used an 8-0 run with 3 minutes left to win going away after weathering a challenge from the stubborn Tigers.
Crabbe made it difficult on UOP defenders while making 9 of 16 field goals.
"He's not just a shooter," Pacific coach Bob Thomason lamented. "He's a scorer."
Perhaps the most promising play came from junior forward Richard Solomon, who had 14 points and eight rebounds to the relief of his coach.
"Richard has a wealth of talent," Montgomery said. "He's got to realize what he can do, what he can't do."
Solomon missed part of his sophomore season because of academic ineligibility.
Now Montgomery believes he has the pieces to make the 2012-13 season something worthwhile.
"I really do feel like we can be something special," Crabbe said. "We can only grow from here. Everybody has the same mindset."
Cobbs, in particular, showed growth in three games in Anaheim. He also had seven rebounds and five assists Sunday and was named the tournament's most valuable player.
"It's me finally finding a rhythm," Cobbs said.
Montgomery, though, wants even more from his 6-foot-2 junior playmaker.
"He is figuring out what are good things to do," the coach said. "Sometimes he has to recognize to immediately get the ball to a shooter."
Cal shot 54 percent from the field and out-rebounded the Tigers 40-31. Pacific, on the other hand, shot only 34 percent. The Tigers were even worse from beyond the arc in making 3 of 17 3 pointers.
Georgia Tech 65, Saint Mary's 56: Saint Mary's College coach Randy Bennett had little to feel good about after Georgia Tech handed the Gaels a defeat in the third-place game.
Saint Mary's lost its second consecutive game when the Yellow Jackets held Australian star Matthew Dellavedova to five points — his lowest total in two seasons.
"We used our size or our quickness," Georgia Tech coach Brian Gregory said. "We made him work for everything he got."
Dellavedova got little, and the Gaels suffered for it.
He made 1 of 8 shots, including 1 of 6 from 3-point range, and had five turnovers as Saint Mary's fumbled its way through a rugged second half.
"People have seen us and scouted us," Bennett said. "We can't be the team that Matt has to get 30 to win. We have much better players than that."
The two-time West Coast Conference reigning champion also lost Friday to future league opponent Pacific 76-66.
Gaels guard Stephen Holt said Saint Mary's (4-2) has time to figure it out.
"We lost some key seniors," said Holt, who led his team with 10 points and nine rebounds and also had four assists but four turnovers. "They'll get going. We need to correct a few things, not turn the ball over. Some guys need to step up and make some shots."
Despite outrebounding Georgia Tech by 12, Saint Mary's played too sloppily in losing to an Atlantic Coast Conference team for the 10th time in 11 games.
The 21 turnovers bothered Bennett the most.
"We're so bad in that area we can't finish a game," he said. "I'm surprised where we're at offensively. This team has a lot of room to grow."
In the first meeting between the schools, Georgia Tech (4-1) choked off the offense with double and triple teams on Dellavedova whenever he got isolated. When the Aussie Olympian found open players in the post, the big men missed some easy shots.
"We saw that all the time last year," Bennett said of the defensive tactic. "We know how to do that. That's where I'm a little surprised. We're not executing. We're going to see that until we can play through it and beat it."
Brandon Reed made 4 of 6 from 3-point range to score 19 points to lead the Yellow Jackets, who lost to Cal in the tournament semifinals Friday.

PRINCETON, N.J. - Coming off an impressive season-opening performance at the Head of the Charles last weekend, the MIT men's lightweight crew team had another good showing at the Princeton Chase on Sunday afternoon. The Engineers entered three boats in the varsity eight, two in the varsity four and two in the small boats competition.
In the first lightweight event of the day, MIT's A boat finished fifth out of 27 boats with a time of 13:00.129, coming in behind Princeton's and Cornell's A teams but narrowly beating Columbia's and Navy's A boats. They finished the three-mile course just 3.25% behind Harvard's A team, who won with a 12:35.609.
MIT's B team finished in 20th place with a time of 13:34.309 and were followed soon after by the C boat with a time of 14:13.031. Both boats beat Delaware's A and B boats but the Engineers in boat B were just edged out by Pennsylvania's B team.
In the varsity four competition, MIT's B boat finished 23rd out of 30 teams (15:36.754), while the A team crossed the line in 28th place with a time of 16:03.131. The B boat finished less than a second ahead of Dartmouth's B and two seconds ahead of Pennsylvania's C, but the MIT A boat finished with clear water all around, 10 seconds after Georgetown B and 10 seconds ahead of Dartmouth C.
MIT had a strong showing in the small boats competition; senior Cameron McAlpine (Portland, Ore.) and sophomore Brian Alvarez (Woodinville, Wash.) finished in eighth place in boat B (16:04.585), while seniors Stephen Freiberg (Weston, Mass.) and Zachary Segal (Los Altos, Calif.) in boat A crossed the line right after in ninth place (16:07.599).
The Engineers will return to the water next weekend when they take part in the Dartmouth Green Monster Invitational on November 3.

Pinball pioneer and inventor Alvin J. Gottlieb died on Oct. 14 in Florida. He was 86.
Alvin was the son of David Gottlieb, who in 1927 founded the eponymous D. Gottlieb & Co. pinball and arcade game factory in Chicago. Alvin was born the same year his father opened the factory where he would spend almost four decades building pinball machines. Pinball discussion and fan sites, like Pinside.com, lit up last week with condolences and praise for Alvin.
D. Gottlieb & Co. first produced mechanical tables and later made electromechanical pin games starting in 1935. Among its many achievements, Gottlieb's Humpty Dumpty (1947) is considered by industry historians to be its most important release because the machine included flippers. While flippers were already used on many games prior to 1947, they were the same manually operated bats used on baseball arcade games. Humpty Dumpty, however, was the first game made with electromechanical flippers, and this innovation gave players the ability to shoot the ball back up the playfield to get more points. Gottlieb's most popular pinball machine was Baffle Ball (1931).
D. Gottlieb & Co. began making solid-state tables in the late 1970s. The first of these were remakes of its electromechanical properties like Joker Poker and Charlie's Angels. In 1977, Gottlieb was bought by Columbia Pictures. After Coca-Cola Co. had acquired Columbia in 1983, the amusement machine assets were transferred to a Coke subsidiary, Mylstar Electronics, but this move was short-lived. By 1984, the arcade videogame industry in North America had crashed, and Coca-Cola sought to divest itself of Mylstar. The Gottlieb pinball assets were bought out by a management group, which would continue to manufacture pin games under the corporate name Premier Technology.
Alvin Gottlieb would later return the family name to the pinball industry, but on a first-name basis. After the collapse of coin-op video in the mid-1980s, pinball experienced a comeback. Alvin G. & Co. was one of several new manufacturers entering the field; Capcom Pinball and Data East Pinball (funded by Japan's Data East) were among the others entering the segment, which was still dominated by Williams Electronics.
The end of the 1990s saw another downturn in the industry, with Alvin G. and Capcom Pinball closing in 1996. Premier Technology, whose games still carried the original Gottlieb name, also shut down; Barb Wire was the last Gottlieb game. That same year, Data East's pinball division was acquired by Sega and became Sega Pinball. By 1997, Sega Pinball and Williams were the only pinball companies left. In 1999, Sega sold its pinball division to Gary Stern, president of Sega Pinball at the time, who renamed the company Stern Pinball. By this time, Williams was only selling about 4,000 units, and it eventually exited the pinball business.
Alvin G. & Co. created and produced about a dozen pinball machine titles between 1991 and 1996; A.G. Soccer-Ball, an uncommon head-to-head flipper game, was its first and Slam 'N Jam was the last. Alvin Gottlieb was inducted into the Pinball Hall of Fame at the 2006 Pinball Expo.
He is survived by his children Laura, Daniel, Michael and Joseph; grandchildren Stephan, Lisa, Aryeh, Zvi, Nathan, Noah, Mitchell and Maxwell; and great-grandchildren Mordechai, Ayla and Eden.

Veurinks' RV Center in Grand Rapids, Mich., is celebrating its 55th year in business this year.
President Tim Veurink, co-owner with his sister, Tammy Kuipers, representing a third generation of ownership, stated in a news release that he is confident that the industry will rebound as it has in the past.
"This industry has always had its ups and downs," he said. "We had tough go of it in 1974-1975, 1979-1980, 1989-1991, 2000-2001 and now again we face some challenges today. What I have learned is during these times you need to take care of your customer, communicate with your staff, stick to your plan and hang in there until the storm is over because the storm always does end."
Veurink added that he feels blessed that his family has been in the RV business for 55 years and believes that the RV lifestyle and business will bounce back bigger than ever. Here are nine reasons why he thinks the RV industry is poised for a serious economic turn-around:
- The biggest population group, the Baby Boomers, are sitting on the sidelines ready to jump into the RV lifestyle.
- Baby Boomers will have to, and want to travel, to visit their children and grandchildren who were displaced to other states because of job opportunities.
- Because of the Go RVing campaign, the RV lifestyle is seen in a more positive light than it was 25 years ago.
- Many RV resorts have been upgraded with high-end accommodations for travelers.
- More Americans than ever are wanting to travel domestically and appreciate all that the U.S. has to offer.
- People today want more freedom and flexibility in their leisure time and an RV is a perfect fit. They also want to stay connected through technology when they travel. The modern RV, again, is a great fit for this lifestyle
- More and more Americans own pets. Most RV resorts are pet friendly. Checking into a motel with your two dogs and the cat for an overnight stay isn't an easy thing to do.
- RVs enhance and compliment other recreational activities that people enjoy. Toy haulers are a perfect example of this phenomenon. People take their motorcycle, ATV, jet ski, surfboard, bicycles and even their hobby equipment with them across the country.
- RV lifestyle is still the most economical way to enjoy a vacation or your retirement. After this last real estate bubble, people may want to have a lower investment and overhead risk and invest in an RV.

About Berkeley Heights
When The New York Times recently published a story about the benefits of living in Berkeley Heights, they noted that homes here are "architecturally eclectic," and gave the article a headline that read "Suburbia, but Not the Cookie-Cutter Kind." This is a fair assessment, as a walk through any Berkeley Heights neighborhood will confirm.
Being recognized by major media outlets is something local residents have come to expect. In 2011, New Jersey Monthly magazine placed Berkeley Heights at number seven on its list of 566 New Jersey towns. Newsweek magazine's 2011 list of America's Best High Schools ranked Berkeley Heights' Governor Livingston High School at 155 on a review of over 1,100 high schools across the country. CNN/Money magazine ranked Berkeley Heights number 45 in the Top 100 Best Places to Live nationwide in 2007, an impressive statistic considering there were 2,800 potential locations.
This small Union County community was incorporated in 1809 and currently has a population of about 13,000. Residents of the picturesque 6.3 square-mile town appreciate the serene feeling that comes from the their town's quiet streets and verdant parkland. Another noteworthy feature is a central location less than 30 miles from New York City.
Partially located on the ridge of the second Watchung Mountain, Berkeley Heights is bordered by Summit, New Providence, Scotch Plains, Chatham, Warren Township, Watchung and Long Hill Township.

Community Life
Berkeley Heights has a vibrant downtown shopping district along Springfield Avenue, where shops and businesses are joined by the town's post office, police station, municipal building and train station. A sentimental brick walkway near the train station is inscribed with the names of longtime residents.
Numerous parks and swim clubs are available for Berkeley Heights residents. The largest municipal facility is Columbia Park on Plainfield Avenue with tennis and basketball courts, baseball fields and a playground. Athletic fields along Horseshoe Road and Springfield Avenue are supplemented by playing fields at local schools. The Berkeley Heights Community Pool on Locust Avenue, the Berkeley Swim Club behind Columbia Park and Berkeley Aquatic off Springfield Avenue are three options for swimmers.
Watchung Reservation and Passaic River County Park are situated within the township and maintained by Union County. Watchung Reservation is the county's largest park, measuring nearly 2,000 acres with horseback riding and hiking trails, Lake Surprise for fishing and canoeing, the historic old village of Feltville, and scenic picnic sites.
Berkeley Heights' Recreation Department offers a summer camp program for grade school children, outdoor concerts, movies, adult fitness programs and youth sports lessons.
Public school students in Berkeley Heights are served by many schools. Built in 1997, the Mary Kay McMillin Early Childhood Center is for those in pre-kindergarten to first grade. Three schools are designated for grades two to five: the Thomas P. Hughes, William Woodruff and Mountain Park Elementary Schools. Columbia Middle School is for grades six to eight; and Governor Livingston High School is for upper grades.
The highly-ranked Governor Livingston High School has about 1,000 students in grades 9 through 12. In 2011, Newsweek magazine issued its annual America's Best High School list, and Governor Livingston High School came in at number 155 from a selection of over 1,100 schools.
The high school is comprised mainly of students from Berkeley Heights as well as those from neighboring Mountainside. Governor Livingston High School also provides programs for the Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Cognitively Impaired, accepting students from all over north-central New Jersey.
Back to top
Easy access to Interstate 78 and the New Jersey Transit train station, both located in the southern part of town, make Berkeley Heights commuter-friendly. The New Jersey Transit train station near the intersection of Springfield and Plainfield Avenues stands at the center of town. Midtown Direct service is offered on the Morris and Essex line for a one-seat ride to New York's Penn Station in under an hour. Some commuters opt for a Lakeland Bus to Port Authority in midtown Manhattan. For longer trips, Newark Liberty International Airport is about 18 miles east of Berkeley Heights.
Real Estate
Home styles in Berkeley Heights range from condominium complexes to upscale luxury homes. The town's Cinnamon Ridge section has a selection of newer brick Colonials. Other parts of town offer ranches, split levels, expanded Capes, vintage homes, and older Colonials set along tree-lined streets. Even in neighborhoods where all the homes were built at the same time, the streetscape is typically varied since residents often choose to improve or add onto their existing homes rather than move to another town.
Free Acres is a unique community in Berkeley Heights that once boasted actor James Cagney as a resident. Settled in 1910, residents do not own the property their house sits on, they lease it. The 75-acre enclave is wooded with ancient trees of which the community is quite protective. Spanning Berkeley Heights and neighboring Watchung, Free Acres has its own water system, maintains its own roads, and govern themselves using majority voting. Children attend township schools, and residents pay property taxes to their corresponding township. No curbs or street lights exist in Free Acres in order to retain its distinctively rural nature.
Local Attractions
Littell-Lord Farmstead Museum at 31 Horseshoe Road chronicles early life in Berkeley Heights. Its 18 acres include two houses, one of which was built by Andrew Littell in the 1750s, and the other near the turn of the last century. The Lord family purchased the property in 1867, and their descendants lived on the property until 1975 when Berkeley Heights acquired the land and buildings under New Jersey's Green Acres program. Today the museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Watchung Reservation measures 1,945 acres, making it the largest park in Union County. The reservation is situated along the upper valley of Blue Brook, between the ridges of the first and second Watchung Mountains. A dam near the headwaters of the creek creates Lake Surprise for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Park amenities include playgrounds, golf courses, horse stables, hiking and equestrian trails, and a nature center. Much of the land is densely wooded to protect the natural resources and habitats.
The Deserted Village of Feltville at 2 Cataract Hollow Road in Watchung Reservation is part of the Union County Department of Parks and Community Renewal. In 1845, David Felt bought 750 acres of farmland and built a large mill to produce paper products for his paper business in New York City. Within two years, Felt had created the thriving town of "Feltville." By 1850, 175 people lived and worked there as it continued to prosper.After 15 years Felt sold the property, and several successive businesses failed. The place then became known as "the deserted village." In 1882, it was transformed into a summer resort called Glenside Park. Interest dwindled, however, as more people chose to spend their summers on New Jersey's ocean beaches instead. After the place was deserted once again, the Union County Park Commission purchased the property and included it in the Watchung Reservation.
