|Passaic County, New Jersey
Garret Mountain Reservation is 568 acre (2.3 km2) park located in southern Passaic County, New Jersey, United States and one of several National Natural Landmarks in New Jersey. Most of it is located within the Borough of Woodland Park (formerly West Paterson), although it also extends into the cities of Paterson and Clifton.
The reservation covers the northernmost part of the First Watchung Mountain and reaches over 500 feet (152 m) above sea level.
The Passaic County Parks Department operates the park while the Passaic County Sheriff is responsible for law enforcement in the reservation.
It is easily accessible from both Interstate 80 and the Garden State Parkway (via Route 19) as well as the local roads.
Garret Mountain Reservation is the county's major recreational area, providing the visitors with grass fields, several miles of walking/running trails, basketball courts, picnic areas, Barbour's Pond is state stocked with fish for anglers, as well as an Equestrian Center with horseback riding lessons. Since the park is an oasis of woodland surrounded by urbanity, Garret Mountain is a migrant trap for migrating song birds, including 35 species of Warblers, numerous Vireos, Orioles, Sparrows and Thrushes. Birdwatchers from the Tri-state areas flock to this hotspot for great views of 150+ species per year along the easily accessible trails.
Lambert Castle, located on the eastern slope of the mountain, just off Route 19, is a 19th-century castle which has been recently renovated and now hosts the Passaic County Museum (open to the public). The Morris Canal once passed two tenths of a mile east of the castle.
For the past several decades, the reservation has been the site of hundreds of high school and college cross country meets in the fall, including the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) High School State Sectional Championships at the end of every October.

And well libvirtd won't be using it with the current patch set (well unless I missed it), I would expect a patch trimming the daemon directory and making it use those new pieces of code, unless I missed something. The "advantage" is that we would have immediate testing of that code, the disadvantage being that the libvirtd may get new bugs from the reimplementation. Did I miss something or is the current choice of not using the new APIs for libvird a trade-off ?

Full Figured Fashion Week(end)™ Runway Finale
|The Curvy Collective
Full Figured Fashion Week(end)™ ended with a fatshionable bang last night! Not only did everyone look amazing! But, it was a little surreal. There I was sitting in a room with people who love fatshion as much as I do. With beautiful women of all shapes and sizes on the runway and people cheering them on as they strutted their stuff. It was so inspiring and outrageously fun!
Before I go on, I want to thank the "oh so chic" Gwen DeVoe and Marie (The Curvy Fashionista), for including me in "The Curvy Collective." I am honored.
Last nights runway finale showcased the best in the plus size biz. They were Abundance Plus Size Boutique, Chan.Nel Karama, LTD., Forever 21+, Hips and Curves, IGIGI By Yuliya Raquel, Jill Alexander Designs, Kiyonna, Lane Bryant, Plush Boutique, Sassi Rebel Clothing, Sealed with a Kiss, SONSI, and Youtheary Khmer. The fashion was unreal! I included a few pics below of the night. I am going to do a recap in the next few days that will include ALL of the photos I took. In the meantime, enjoy.
Full Figured Fashion Week(end)™ Panel & Discussions
We came, we discussed, and we conquered! If there was ever a more productive and powerful day, it had to be yesterday at the Full Figured Fashion Week(end)™ Panel & Discussions. I unfortunately missed the first session "The Voluptuous Woman Company, Inc® presents "The PLUS Side of Business", but I did make it to the "New and Aspiring Models Panel Discussion/Seminar" and "The State of the Curvy Community." I learned a lot from the top people in the "curvy" business! Here are a few photos from yesterday.
There's still time to attend tonight's finale and runway show! You can't buy them online, but they are available at the door, but it's CASH ONLY! Visit www.FFFWeek.com for details!
Full Figured Fashion Week(end)™ Opening Reception & "Curves for a Cure"
Full Figured Fashion Week(end)™ officially started last night with a cocktail reception and "Curves for a Cure" fundraiser. It was an amazing night for an amazing cause! I am a strong supporter of Breast Cancer Awarness, since it has unfortunately touched my family. The event was hosted by the fabulous Gwen DeVoe, talented songstress Kelly Price, and 102.3's Lon McQ. All proceeds went to the L.A. Komen for a Cure Foundation.
This was also a chance for all the bloggers to meet up. It was great seeing all of these beautiful faces in one place. There was even a Sonsi Photo Booth we were all playing with. I will post those pics later! It was too much fun. I finally wore my City Chic top (gifted by City Chic) out with a pair of black skinny jeans and Jessica Simpson open toe platform pumps. I was bringing the bling last night! Don't forget, you can still purchase tickets to Saturday's Finale Event! Go Here!!
Stay tuned for pics and recap from today's panel sessions. You can follow me on twitter @CurvesandChaos where I will be tweeting live!
Curvy Cocktails L.A.
Lots of hugs, laughter, and goodies filled the X Bar last night as L.A. Fatshion Bloggers and The Curvy Collective came together for Curvy Cocktails L.A. It was a meet-and-greet to start off Full Figured Fashion Week(end)™ here in Los Angeles. Here are a few photos of last night, including photos of the raffle winners and the beauty goodies we handed out. It was so great to meet all of the amazing women who make up part of our curvy community; whether you're a blogger, model, stylist, entrepreneur, or a fatshion lover!
A big and special thank you to Torrid, Sonsi, Ardell, China Glaze, Kurvee, and Bali for sponsoring our goodies! You just made our night that much more special!
I love you…but I can't afford you.
There comes a time in our life, where we realize that our love for shoes will sometimes break our hearts. Like these amazingly beautiful Christian Louboutin's. They are $1,375; more than what most of you pay for rent. That's where the broken heart comes in. There's no way I can afford these delicious luxurious suede delights. I guess it's time to find a replica pair.

Software major Wipro says its demerger process has led to its exclusion from the NSE 50-share benchmark Nifty.
Software major Wipro says its demerger process has led to its exclusion from the NSE 50-share benchmark Nifty.
"A corporate action like our demerger of a listed company would generally result in a short term withdrawal of the scrip from the index as it has been happening in the past where such corporate action had been initiated. We expect restoration of the same on completion of the corporate action, which we expect to conclude in the next few months," the company said in a press statement.
On November 1 2012, the Wipro board approved the demerger of the non-IT businesses into a separate company to be named Wipro Enterprise (WEL).
Wipro and diversified group Siemens will be dropped from the (National Stock Exchange) NSE's benchmark index Nifty from April 1 .(More details) In their place, private-sector lender IndusInd Bank and state-run NMDC would be included in the Nifty index, the statement said.
Wipro stock price
On May 29, 2015, Wipro closed at Rs 561.60, up Rs 7.60, or 1.37 percent. The 52-week high of the share was Rs 676.90 and the 52-week low was Rs 485.60.
The company's trailing 12-month (TTM) EPS was at Rs 33.18 per share as per the quarter ended March 2015. The stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was 16.93. The latest book value of the company is Rs 118.89 per share. At current value, the price-to-book value of the company is 4.72.

The head of Australia's foreign investment watchdog in an interview Monday warned state-owned enterprises and sovereign wealth funds to not be driven by a political agenda when investing in the resource-rich nation.
"Investment decisions should be made by investors on a purely stand alone commercial basis and that Australian businesses, however they are owned, should be run on a purely commercial basis and not as an extension of the policy, political or economic agenda of a foreign government," said Brian Wilson, chairman of the Foreign Investment Review Board, or FIRB.

Vacation getaway made simple
Home Away from Home
My family enjoyed our time in San Diego, especially the beach time because of this property and being only steps from the beach with all the toys and chairs to make it fun and easy.
Not having to pack or worry about my toddlers safety and sleeping arrangement made travel much more enjoyable than ever before.
The owner Nancy was extremely helpful and answered my emails quickly. Her suggestions of local restaurants and attractions was like having a personal concierge! My kid's hi-light was a bon fire on the beach with s'mores and my oldest loved using the scooter everywhere we went!
Such a delight to have a stress free vacation to a home.
Can't wait to come back.
Good for the soul vacation!
A San Diego Must!

Quite nicely thought out app. But the alethiometer is so small (about 1/6 of my HTC One screen) you can't see the symbols. The alethiometer should fill the screen.

But those of us with smaller android screens (and mine isn't even that small, it's a Galaxy S3...) would HIGHLY appreciate it and LOVE YOU if you enlarged the actual alethiometer imagery, the icons are so small I can't even tell what they're supposed to be unless I individually click on each one.

Cotabato 7th grader gains tennis finals
DAPITAN CITY—Alliah Elline Ragunton of Cotabato Province strung up three wins to barge into the lawn tennis girls' singles finals even as hometown bet Jason Saavedra pulled through in the boys' division at the start of competitions in the Mindanao leg of the POC-PSC Batang Pinoy 2012 here yesterday.
Ragunton, a 13-year-old 7th grader from Alameda, edged Rosuel Anne Binondo of Davao del Norte, 8-7 (7-1), and will fight for the title against the winner between Kiezl Kyla Diaz of Zamboanga City and Diadem Sasota of Cotabato Province, who were playing at presstime.
A student at Notre Dame of Genio Edcor, Ragunton was a bronze medalist during the Palarong Pambansa held in Lingayen last summer. Using a superior net game in the tiebreak, she wore down Binondo, who was the Palaro girls' doubles champ.
But the crowd at the Rizal Memorial State University tennis courts were drawn to the 12-year-old Saavedra, who takes pride in bearing a striking resemblance to Cecil Mamiit, and playing like the former Philippine team stalwart.
Dubbed "Junior Mamiit" by the crowd that lined up the sun-baked courts, he outsmarted a taller Steve Centennial Maghanoy of Zamboanga Sibugay, 8-3, to make the second round.
Saavedra, who had to earn money as "pulot boy" on the same tennis courts to buy racket strings, was a silver medalist in boys' doubles when the Palaro was held here last year.
In badminton, Art Villanueva of Zamboanga Sibugay advanced to the second round with a 21-11, 21-17 victory over Dapitan City's Paul Tacbayan.
Swimming and athletics are on tap today in the fourth qualifying leg of the competition initiated by the Philippine Sports Commission and the Philippine Olympic Committee for athletes 15 years old and below.
But PSC lawyer Jay Alano said they have decided to cancel the track events after conducting ocular inspection at the RMSU sports complex oval showed the track was torn and ripped due to the recent severe weather.
Alano, who explained the decision as a "force majeure," said the PSC will give out a maximum of six slots per local government units in track events for the National Finals in Iloilo City on Dec. 5-9.

Drone hunters: Why are Americans lining up to shoot down drones?
Drone hunters: Why are Americans lining up to shoot down drones?
News reports about government spying – including the use of drones in the US – are worrying many Americans. In protest, one tiny Colorado town is issuing "drone hunting" licenses.
President Obama says the US government doesn't spy on ordinary Americans with aerial drones or any other technology.
But in the tiny Colorado prairie town of Deer Trail (pop. 500), residents aren't taking the most powerful man on earth at his word. Instead, they've invented a new pastime: drone hunting. And there's lots of interest. Over 1,000 people have already applied for the novelty license, though the town won't actually vote on the proposal until Oct. 8.
It's a half-serious initiative intended as a symbolic protest against what many in the town, and around the country, see as an emerging and increasingly sinister American surveillance state. At the very least, the $25 licenses could raise some revenue for Deer Trail, a rickety plains outpost in a state being considered by the Obama administration for experimental use of civilian drones.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a stern warning that it's against federal law to shoot down unmanned drones. "Shooting at an unmanned aircraft could result in criminal or civil liability," the agency warned this week.
RECOMMENDED: Opinion 3 questions to ask about US drone policy
Concern about excessive domestic spying is politically ubiquitous. But the prospect of Western states being used to experiment with domestic drones by everyone from police to ranchers hit particularly hard in rural America. Those are the kinds of places where people proudly wear T-shirts that proclaim "I'm a right wing extremist" – a tongue-in-cheek reference to something a Justice Department report warned about several years ago.
The American West, too, is where the "black helicopter" conspiracy theories caught fire in the 1990s.
In its second term, the Obama administration has faced allegations ranging from political targeting by the IRS to revelations that the National Security Agency is trolling millions of phone calls in search of suspicious "pairings" of phone numbers that could hint at terrorist connections.
While attitudes have become more critical in the wake of the Edward Snowden leaks about the NSA spying program, a majority of Americans still, by a slim margin, support such initiatives, and believe they contribute to national security.
But Republicans, especially, have become far more suspicious of such programs since 2006, when only 26 percent of GOP voters said the press should be reporting on covert surveillance programs; today 43 percent of Republicans think the press should report on secret counter-terror programs.
But while there are legitimate domestic terrorism threats in the US, the question of whom the federal spy complex may target for surveillance is what concerns most critics, giving rise to a new sort of surveillance anxiety, even amid assurances from Obama that, "We don't have a domestic spying program."
The problem for many Americans, of course, is trusting the government when it says it can responsibly peer at phone records and Internet traffic while not stepping on the American constitutional guarantee against warrantless searches.
"If spying is narrowly construed to mean, say, warrantless wiretaps on Americans, then it's apparently true that there's no domestic spying program," David Graham wrote in the Atlantic. "But it's also not really true, and it suggests a sort of smirking contempt on the president's part for his interlocutors, and citizens."
That suspicion has certainly found an outlet on the Colorado prairie.
Kim Oldfield, the town clerk in Deer Trail, has just started throwing drone-hunting application envelopes in a pile after she received 983 checks worth $19,000. The local who came up with the idea, Phillip Steel, has been privately selling novelty licenses, the proceeds from which he says he's sharing with the town.
Steel told the Associated Press he dreamed up the drone hunter idea after reading newspaper accounts of domestic spying efforts originating with the National Security Agency.
"Do we really want to become a surveillance society? That's what I find really repugnant," Steel told the AP.

Off the beaten path in an unassuming strip mall in Midway is Peking Garden. The deceptively small storefront gives way to a well-appointed and sprawling interior, including space for weddings of up to 280 guests and tanks of live seafood and fish. The menu is equally expansive, boasting more than 200 items plus dim sum, ranging from Americanized items like sweet-and-sour chicken to traditional and authentic Chinese items you won"t find elsewhere, like squid with preserved sour mustard and roasted pig and oyster hot pot. Most entrees are $5 to $12, skewing slightly more expensive for specialty items like seafood and whole Peking duck. Order a la carte anytime, or opt for the buffet until 7 p.m. Either way you"ll have more options than room to eat them in one visit.

Turns out that, for some reason, on the one specific Catalina 22, the rudder must be pointed straight on center-line when hove to. One instructor doesn't believe it while another says he seems to remember the same issue with that boat himself.
None of the other boats in the sailing club fleet behave that way, even the other 22's.
This past Sunday I tested it out just to make sure and, every time I pointed the rudder leeward all the way over, the spin started. When the rudders brought back to center, it stops and the boat stays steady and slows to stop.
Took a Catalina 25 out two days before that and the maneuver works as it's supposed to.
Good news is I know what to do to get the result I want out of the one vessel. Can't wait for Friday (day off from work) so I can get back out on the water.

Community Efforts Pay Off for Tanzanian Child to Get Lifesaving Surgery at Shriners Hospital in Cincinnati.
Four-year-old Asubuhi suffered a severe burn in 2005. His family brought him to a clinic for care following the injury, where he was seen by Christopher Lewis, MD, a family medicine physician and president of Village Life Outreach Project (VLOP), Inc., an organization that assists people of the Tarime District of Tanzania, East Africa.
The VLOP health team returned to Asubuhi's village in October 2006 hoping to find that his wound had healed. Unfortunately, the team was taken aback when Asubuhi was spotted across the room with flies buzzing around the still open wound on his head. "Asubuhi and his family live in a mud hut without running water and the graft never healed - leaving him with an open wound on his scalp," notes Lewis. "He had lost weight and just looked terrible with a wide open scalp wound. We knew he needed urgent medical care that would only be available in the United States."
Traveling with VLOP was Brad Jackson, MD, a pediatrician and president of the Cincinnati Medical Association (CMA), who is familiar with Shriners Hospitals and their work with international patients.
"Once I saw Asubuhi, I knew that without medical care he would probably die. I knew a collaborative effort was needed," noted Dr. Jackson.
Shriners Hospital in Cincinnati was then contacted after the trip to ensure the hospital could provide the medical treatment needed to heal Asubuhi's open wound.
Asubuhi arrived in Cincinnati on Monday, July 2. He'll be evaluated by the burn team at Shriners Hospital, with plans for him to have surgery within the month.
For further information visit on Village Life Outreach, visit www.villagelifeoutreach.org.
Supported entirely by private donations, Shriners Hospitals for Children provides the gift of medical care at no charge to children. Admission is based on age and diagnosis, and any child under 18 is eligible for admission providing the child's condition is within the scope of services provided. For further information call 800-237-5055 or visit www.shrinershq.org.

Farmers are opting for the real estate option due to poor agricultural conditions
Pushed by unsettling agricultural conditions and pulled by lucrative real estate deals, farmers across the famed and fertile Cauvery delta in Tamil Nadu are selling their lands to real estate developers. In Amma Chatram, Marudhanallur, Tirunageswarm, Mathur, and in a host of other villages in Thanjavur and adjacent districts, farmlands are being converted to residential plots at a galloping rate.
The agricultural uncertainties have multiplied this year due to poor supply of water and the power situation, and real estate appears to be the exit option for farmers. Though worried about the situation, farmers are not complaining, and the reasons are not hard to find.
"Do not the let the green colour deceive you. The fields have crops but they are wilting. There is not enough water now to see the crops through," S. Thangappan, a farmer in Maruthhuvakudi near Aduthurai, cautioned. "Three crops a year is a thing of the past. If we are lucky, we can have one good crop. An acre of agricultural land can normally yield about 30 to 35 bags of rice and our average profit would be Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 7, 000 per acre. Mind you, this income comes after we harvest the crop and not every month. This year has been the worst and we would not be able to recover whatever we have spent," he explained.
Thangappan would survive and may even continue with agriculture. He is a retired truck driver and gets a monthly pension. No such options exist for the 55-year-old Rajakannuof Manalmedu near Pasupathi Koil. He owns less than an acre of land close to the Kudamuruti river. He cannot spend money on drilling a bore to tide over the water crisis, nor does he have income from other sources. "Agriculture is no more economically sustainable," he complained.
The story of Radhakrishnan, a farmer in Musakulam, a village tucked away from the main road and located about 5 km from Tiruvarur, is equally distressing. Though he owns two acres, Radhakrishnan lives a difficult life. Without water, the crops are wilting and his family of four lives off the free rice the State government gives through its ration shops.
"Had my field been near the main road, it would have been worth many lakhs of rupees. Real estate people would have lined up to buy it to convert it into housing plots. What to do we are stuck in this small village," Radhakrishnan said.
He has reasons to lament so. At Semmozhi Nagar, a housing colony on the main road to Tiruvarur and 2 km away form Radhakrishnan's farm, the developers have sold all the plots. Those who own are reselling them at a price of about Rs. 350 sq.ft. This makes the area, which was once a farmland, worth about Rs. 1.5 crore an acre. The land prices escalate further as one approaches the town. In contrast, Radhakrishnan's two-acre farm is worth only about Rs. 2 lakh.
Even projects in small villages such as Amma Chatram, far away from Kumbakonam, the price of residential plots are as high as Rs. 575 sq.ft. as against Rs. 25 per sq.ft. for a farmland located a little further away. Such conversions have resulted not because of the organic growth of the place, but driven more by speculative investment. This is evidenced by the fact that only a few houses are built in the many colonies and vacant plots are regularly resold.
Mannachanallur, a village closer to the Kollidam river near Tiruchi, is an illustrative example to understand the consequence of farmland conversion. This place was once a well-known rice-bowl and the local variety was very popular. Over the years, farmlands have turned into housing plots and agricultural production has significantly dropped. Prabha Raman, a wholesale rice dealer in Tiruchi, points out that "it is difficult to find the local rice in the market." He explained that "more than 70 per cent of what is sold here and in other places in Tamil Nadu is from Karantaka. They are cheap and preferred."
In 2011, the government amended the regulations to make conversion of wetlands difficult. Any one wishing to change the land use had to get the permission of the district collector. The State government claimed that this would deter indiscriminate conversion, but, like other building rules, this too is followed in the breach.
A revenue official in Kumbokanam told that people hardly sought approval. Unauthorised conversions are rampant and a major source of local corruption. A seller near Kumbakonam was ingenious. He applied for approval to convert 9.5 cares of farmland to 140 residential plots. After receiving the approval, he quietly annexed the adjacent land and divided it to another 100 plots.
Between 1971 and 2006, land under paddy cultivation has reduced by 6 lakh hectares. The much awaited results of the 2011 agricultural census are expected to show further decline.
It may be unfair to stop the farmers while allowing urban dwellers to benefit from the land value appreciation, particularly when agriculture is becoming difficult to pursue. At the same time, as the State agricultural plan drafted by the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in 2009 projects an additional 7 lakh hectares has to be brought under cultivation by 2020 to meet the demand for rice. Addressing both the issues is going to be a tough challenge.
