Wretched Ride: PS4 Driveclub Game Rental Tied To Paid Subscription 93
from the utility-company's-involved-too dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Actually, this is 100% in line with the FAQ. The PS+ version of the game isn't a demo. It's a low-content version of the game with a full trophy set. The $50 is DLC to add the missing cars, countries, and tracks to the PS+ version. The $60 version is a release which contains all of the above. You still own the $50 DLC. You just don't have access to the base game to be able to utilize that DLC. It's the same as any number of other games released on PS+. For example, LittleBigPlanet 2 has the Cross-Controller Pack, which provides you the ability to use a Playstation Vita as a second screen and a controller for the game that has unique play functionality. The pack also includes exclusive content (costumes, items, etc). If you let your PS+ subscription lapse, you can no longer play LittleBigPlanet 2, but you do still own the Cross-Controller Pack. You can no longer DO anything with that pack, but you do still very much own it, and regain access to its functionality if you resubscribe at some point.
Think about it this way. If you bought Diablo 2 and the Lord of Destruction expansion, and later sold Diablo 2, you would no longer be able to utilize the content of Lord of Destruction. It's the same thing, people.
This is standard on PS+, if you get a "free" game via PS+ (all games received for "free" are tied to your subscription, PS+ discounted ones aren't) and you buy DLC for it, the DLC becomes unusable if you end your PS+ subscription. Sony tells you that when you hit the download button for one of those "free" games. You can buy the base game later if you don't want to continue paying for the PS+ subscription, and then your DLC will be usable on that game. I am a PS+ subscriber, I avoid to buy DLC for the "free" games for this reason, but everything is perfectly clear on the store when you buy.
Sony is really crapping the bed with the PS4. Very few games compared to XBox One, more exclusives going to XB1, dropping free multiplayer in PSN+, and now things like this. All things that PS fanboys used to make fun of in regards to Xbox. It's like they took most of what was great at the PS3 and did a full 180. Whereas I'm finding the XB1 to be a fabulous platform.
(Disclaimer: I own both a PS4 and Xbox One and I'm not a 'fanboy' of either companies. Just calling it like it is)
Looks like they fixed the offer [playstation.com]
UPDATE: Our priority for DRIVECLUB is to enable you to play and enjoy everything it has to offer and PlayStation recognises that the prior plan for DRIVECLUB entitlement for the upgrade to the PS Plus edition was not appropriate. As a result, we have adjusted the PlayStation Plus terms for DRIVECLUB.
Now, If you intend on downloading DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition, and upgrading to the full game experience, you will have access to the full game even if your PlayStation Plus subscription runs out.

Date of Stay: September, 2012 - $20.00
This used to be the Beaver Creek Provincial Park Campground but is now run by the Kiwanis Club of Trail and BC parks "wants nothing to do with it" according to the fellow who took our money. On check-in we were told which site number to park in. No map of the campground, no list of rules and regulations, no information on the area, no information about the restrooms (there are some by the office evidently), no rate information (we were going on the assumption that this was a provincial park as it is still listed on the gov.bc website). The sites are typical unimproved park sites with fire rings but no gravel so can be dusty, and muddy after a rain. We camped at Beaver Creek Provincial Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2012 - $20.00
This is a fabulous, restful, and friendly place to camp. Right on the Columbia River. Same rate for all size rigs - $20 a campsite. Hosts are very friendly and do not allow noisy youth to party into the wee hours. Great hiking! Fishing! Boat ramp. Lots of edible wild berries (Saskatoons!). Showers and flush toilets are at the entrance to the park (the only drawback here) which is almost 1 km from the campground. Decent outhouses located in the campground. Wal-mart is about 1-1/2 miles away that you pass by coming south from Highway 3. Campfires are often permitted here when a ban is on everywhere else, as was the case 2 years ago. This is generally a hot sunny area so look for the shade. We camped at Beaver Creek Provincial Park in a Tent.Undo

On apportioning costs to customers in centralized continuous review inventory systems.
Many manufacturing firms use common production and warehousing resources to jointly supply customers' demands that vary significantly in their variability. For example, it is a common practice in the defense manufacturing industry, while supplying both to the department of defense and the commercial market, to routinely combine safety stocks of the same part meant for different end users, thereby achieving lower overall operating costs. Whereas it might be possible to make a strong case for benefits of centralization (provided this does not result in substantial increases in administrative costs), it is not at all clear that an individual customer will necessarily benefit from centralization under some commonly used methods of allocating inventory costs to customers. For example, if inventory costs are spread evenly over all items stocked (produced), it is possible that a customer will end up paying more (in absolute terms) than what it would have paid on a stand-alone basis. The purpose of this paper is to first show that it is economical to consolidate. It then investigates some apparently "reasonable" and popular methods of cost allocation to demonstrate their potential for unfairness. It also proposes a method that is fair in the sense that any customer's post-centralization share of overheads does not exceed its costs without consolidation. The findings of this study are particularly relevant for customers with large steady demands, such as the department of defense, who might inadvertently be subsidizing inventory costs of customers with smaller and more variable demands under an unfair allocation scheme.
Inventory centralization, or consolidation of several uncertain demands, is known to reduce costs through risk-pooling, or statistical economies of scale (e.g., Eppen (1979); Zinn, Levy and Bowersox (1989)). An important question that arises when several customers are served from the same centralized stock, however, is how to allocate the inventory costs among them. If that is not done rationally, some customers may end up with higher allocated costs than if they were served from a dedicated stock, despite the overall benefit of consolidation. This issue arose in a dramatic fashion in 1987 during an inquiry by the U.S. Defense Contract Audit Agency, which discovered that the Department of Defense (DOD) indirectly subsidizes commercial customers of common suppliers (Production and Inventory Control, (1987)). It was argued that the DOD's demand is considerably less variable than that of the commercial customers, a fact that the MRP II systems used by most suppliers to generate the cost allocation do not recognize, and hence the implicit subsidization.
In this paper we consider this issue in the context of a continuous review order quantity-reorder point (Q,r) inventory system with complete back ordering. We use this more complex framework, rather than the simpler news vendor model used by Eppen and others to assess benefits of risk pooling, since both cycle and safety stocks, rather than only the latter, are present here. After showing that aggregation always reduces the total expected costs in this system as well, we consider four cost allocation schemes: by demand volume, by individual safety stock requirements, by incremental contribution to joint costs, and proportional to stand-alone costs.
A simple numerical example with normal demands shows that the first three methods can easily lead to higher costs for particular customers than their stand-alone costs. Only cost allocation in proportion to each customer's stand-alone costs guarantees a reduction in costs allocated to it under centralization.
Suppose that each separate warehouse, as well as the central warehouse, has a fixed ordering (setup) cost A, a unit holding cost h per unit time, and a unit shortage cost [pi] independent of the duration of shortage. Ordinarily, these costs are not entirely insensitive to the demand volume which will be considerably higher for the centralized facility. Furthermore, additional administrative expenses may be required for managing large (common) warehouses. This issue is not so critical for large defense suppliers as they already have MRP systems in place to manage resources to meet demands generated by a heterogenous mix of customers. These additional costs might make centralization less desirable, particularly after the common warehouse crosses a size threshold. However, inclusion of these factors would not affect the main finding of this paper which is to demonstrate the potential for unfairness in some seemingly "reasonable" schemes for allocating costs in common inventory systems. Therefore, for simplicity of exposition, we assume that the size threshold has not been crossed and that the cost parameters A, h and [pi] are constants. Additional administrative costs, although easy to model, will also not be considered. The lead time, whether fixed or random, is assumed to be the same in all separate warehouses and the central warehouse. Denote the (expected) demand per unit time, and the random lead time demand at warehouse i, i = 1,2, ... N, by [D.sub.i] and [X.sub.i] respectively. Let the density, the cumulative distribution and the mean of [X.sub.i] be [g.sub.i], [G.sub.i] and [mu.sub.i] respectively. Thus, in the decentralized system, the approximate expected relevant cost per unit time at warehouse i, that replenishes stock by an amount [Q.sub.i] each time the inventory level reaches [r.sub.i], is:
[C.sub.i]([Q.sub.i], [r.sub.i]) = A[D.sub.i]/[Q.sub.i] + h([Q.sub.i]/2 + [r.sub.i]-[mu.sub.i]) +
(1) where
[b.sub.i][(r.sub.i)] E[([X.sub.i]-[r.sub.i])*] [ .sub.r.sub.i.sup.infinity ](x-[r.sub.i]) [g.sub.i](x)dx (2)
is the expected number of units short during a replenishment cycle (Hadley and Whitin (1963)). The safety stock is [r.sub.i] - [mu.sub.i]. The optimal order quantity-reorder point pair ([Q.sub.i.sup.*], [r.sub.i.sup.*]) is the solution to the following simultaneous equations:
[Q.sub.i.sup.*] = [square root] 2[D.sub.i][A + [pi][b.sub.i][(r.sub.i.sup.*)] /h (3) [ .sub.i][(r.sub.i.sup.*)] = h[Q.sub.i.sup.*]/[pi][D.sub.i] (4)
where [G.sub.i] = 1-[G.sub.i].
In the centralized system, let G be the aggregate cumulative lead time demand distribution, its mean is [mu] = [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N][mu.sub.i], and D = [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N][D.sub.i]. Then, the approximate expected relevant cost per unit time of ordering Q units each time the inventory level reaches r, is:
C(Q,r) = AD/Q + h(Q/2+r-[mu]) + [pi]Db(r)/Q.
The optimal pair (Q*,r*) is the solution to the following simultaneous equations:
Q* = [square root] 2d[A = [pi]b(r*)]/h (6) (r*) = hQ*/[pi]D. (7)
We now want to prove that centralization is always beneficial in this model. While this is intuitive, it is not as obvious (or easy to prove) here as in the newsvendor model, since here, due to the "simultaneous" ordering, the centralized system is not a simple "relaxation" of the decentralized one. So we want to prove that:
C(Q*, r*) [is less than or equal to] [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N] [C.sub.i]([Q.sub.i.sup.*]
[r.sub.i.sup.*] = [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N][(A[D.sub.i]/[Q.sub.i.sup.*]) = h([Q.sub.i.sup.*]/2 +
[r.sub.i.sup.*]-[mu.sub.i]) = [pi][D.sub.i][ .sub.i][(r.sub.i.sup.*)]/[Q.sub.i.sup.*]]. (8)
Let Q = [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N][Q.sub.i.sup.*] and r = [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N]. Since (Q, r)
is usually not optimal for the centralized system,
C(Q*, r*) [is less than or equal to] C(Q, r). So if we manage to prove the stronger result C(Q, r) [is less than or equal to] [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N][C.sub.i] (Q.sub.i.sup.*], [r.sub.i.sup.*]), it will imply the weaker result of interest.
Proposition 1:
C(Q, r) [is less than or equal to] [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N][C.sub.i]([Q.sub.i.sup.*],
[EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N] [C.sub.i]([Q.sub.i.sup.*], [r.sub.i.sup.*]) - C(Q, r) = A[
[EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N] ([D.sub.i]/Q.sub.i.sup.*])-[EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N][D.sub.i]/
[EPSILON.sub.i] = 1.sup.N][Q.sub.i*]]
+ [pi]{[EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N][[D.sub.i][b.sub.i]([r.sub.i.sup.*])/[Q.sub.i.sub.*]]-b(r)
[EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sub.N][D.sub.i]/[EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sub.N][Q.sub.i.sup.*]}.
To prove that the above is positive, it suffices to show that: (i) b(r) [is less than or equal to] [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N][b.sub.i][(r.sub.i.sup.*)]; and
[Mathematical Expression Omitted]
variables. Inequality (ii) is a standard property of positive numbers (it can be proved, for example, by induction). Hence the claim is proved.
Perhaps the simplest and most common way to allocate the inventory costs C(Q*,r*) of the centralized system is proportionally to the realized demands (or uniformly to each unit stocked). Since over the long run the average realized demands per unit time will be close to their expected values, this is approximately equivalent to allocating costs to the [j.sup.th] customer proportionally to [D.sub.j]/D. This method completely ignores the differentials in demands' variabilities, and is the likely.major reason for the implicit subsidization of small and "variable" customers by large and "stable" ones previously discussed. Indeed, we will show an example where the allocated costs to a large and stable customer are higher than the costs when it is served in a stand-alone manner.
Since demand variability primarity affects safety rather than cycle stocks, another method would be to allocate total costs according to safety stocks only. That is, costs are allocated proportionally to [(r.sub.j.sup.*]-[mu.sub.j)]/[EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N] ([r.sub.i.sup.*]-[mu.sub.i].). Note that the [r.sub.j.sup.*]'s are the reorder points in the decentralized system. We will present an example showing that with such a method small and variable customers may end up being allocated much higher costs than the costs of their standalone systems.
Another approach is to use the costs of the individual systems as a basis for allocation. That is, to allocate the total costs in proportion to [C.sub.j]([Q.sub.i.sup.*], [r.sub.j.sup.*])/ [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N] ri*). Now, since we have proved that C([Q.sub.*, [r.sup.*]) [is less than or equal to] [EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N] [C.sub.i]([Q.sub.i.sup.*], [r.sub.i.sup.*], it immediately follows that:
Proposition 2:
C([Q*, r*){[C.sub.j]([Q.sub.j.sup.*], [r.sub.j.sup.*])/[EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N] [C.sub.i]
([Q.sub.i.sup.*], [r.sub.i.sup.*])} [is less than or equal to] [C.sub.j]([Q.sub.j.sup.*],
So this method guarantees that the costs allocated to each customer will be lower than its standalone costs. The last method we shall mention is to allocate total costs in proportion to each customer's incremental contribution to them. Denoting the optimal costs of a centralized system without customer j by [C.sub.j]([Q.sub.j.sup.*], [r.sub.j.sup.*]), this method amounts to allocating costs according to the proportions:
{C(Q*, r*)-[C.sub.j]([Q.sup.jj*], [r.sup.j*])}/{NC(Q*, r*)-[EPSILON.sub.i = 1.sup.N][C.sup.i]
([Q.sup.i*], [r.sup.i*])}
Our examples will first show that this scheme does not reduce to the previous one when demands are independent. Furthermore, it is possible that this method will allocate to a large and stable customer a higher cost than its stand-alone costs even when demands are independent.
A numerical example illustrating the unfairness of every scheme discussed in the previous section other than allocation in proportion to stand-alone costs is presented in Table 1. In the example, the same product is demanded by three customers with independent normally distributed demands. Customer 1 has high volume steady demand, whereas customers 2 and 3 have low volume, highly variable demands. We assume a 250 working day year with average daily demands for customers 1, 2 and 3 being 320, 8 and 4 units respectively. The lead time is assumed to be constant at 50 days (same for all customers). The mean and standard deviations of lead time demand for the three customers are: (16000, 50), (400, 120) and (200, 85) respectively.
Uniformly allocating overheads to every unit sold (procedure 1) results in a higher charge being made to customer 1 (an increase of 4.35%) than would have resulted from a stand alone stock, as this customer accounts for over 95% of the total demand for the item. Allocation according to safety stocks (procedure 2) assigns a very small cost to customer 1 and virtually all of the inventory system cost is shared by customers 2 and 3. For example, the inventory costs of customer 2 increase by nearly 124%. Allocating costs proportionally to stand-alone costs (procedure 3) results in a lowering of each customer's costs. Finally, allocation by incremental contribution to costs (procedure 4) also results in an unfairly high charge to customer 1, but for reasons quite different from those of procedure 1. In this case, the high demand volume of customer 1 causes a large relative increase in inventory system costs when its demand is consolidated with that of the remaining two customers.
Interestingly, the total safety stock requirement actually goes up upon consolidation: 299 units after as opposed to 249 units before centralization. However, centralization is clearly beneficial as it reduced inventory costs by approximately 19% ($1144.37).
Examples showing unfairness of all methods except procedure 3 when demands' distributions are dependent are just as easy to find.
This paper shows that for centralized stores allocating inventory costs either according to volume of demand or safety stocks or incremental contribution to total costs may result in situations where some customers are charged more than what they would have paid when separate stocks are maintained for each customer. This manifests itself in customers with large and stable demand subsidizing the highly variable low demand customer or vice versa. A method that allocates costs according to each customer's stand-alone costs is found to be "fair" in this respect.

Favorite portable induction burner?
We're looking to get a portable induction burner to use during a kitchen remodel. I have the Cooks' Illustrated reviews of them, which recommends the Max Burton 6000, but this seems to get mixed reviews elsewhere. Trying to stay under $200.
Any favorites in GW land that you can recommend?
Also, on a side note---our primary cooktop is gas so we're not looking to acquire much in the way of specialty induction cookware. We have several All-Clad stainless pans plus a set of cast iron cookware, in addition to our Farberware Millennium copper-clad stainless set; am I right in thinking that with this mix we should have enough pots and pans that will work to get through a few weeks using the induction burner as the primary cook surface?
I got the Sunpentown a few years ago. I don't use it too often, it's my 5th burner when I'm having a big dinner or canning, etc. I also use it when the grandchildren are helping me cook something, since I don't like them hanging over the gas cooktop.
It works.
It was about $100, on sale, at Amazon, when I got it. I had to buy a couple of saucepans, but I have cast iron pans that I use most of the time.
We've got a Waring Pro that works just fine. I don't remember the exact price, but probably less than $150 on Amazon. We only use it as a supplement now, but had to use it as our only burner for about 4 months while the kitchen was being finished. I have All Clad, also, and picked up a couple of pieces of very inexpensive Ikea cookware to supplement.

'short' flashing on irritrol clock?
New to the electrical part of all of this so speak s/l/o/w/l/y if you reply...lol...anyway, my 24 station Irritrol timer is flashing "short" on station 2. I found the solenoid was not working and replaced it. The clock still flashes "short". I've pulled the power and the battery, no no avail. Is it the clock or bad wiring? What do I look for? how the hell do I find it? I have one of those portable solenoid actuators and the new solenoid pops when using that. I also have an amplifier?? as well, but have no clue how to use it. (this is what I bought, actually http://www.irrigationdirect.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/f/i/file_43_66.jpg) ....That's about as far as I know how to go. I checked the wires and they are not corroded or broken. What now? the thought of replacing that clock scares the daylights outta me lol....
Did you check any screw on wire connections between the solenoid and the controller. The only thing left if all connections are left is using a continuity meter to check that the wire to the solenoid has conductivity. This is in essence what the control did to display the "short" message but it may be incorrect. Also try a full reset of your controller if you don't find a disconnect somewhere with the continuity meter. GL Aloha
If the coil in question works when you use a activator and none of the connections at the valve are touching each other try this. Disconnect the coil completely. Don't let the wires touch anything, just have them up in the air in the ground/valve box. Activate the zone and see if you get the same results. This will eliminate the coil as the issue. If you still get the short signal switch another set of wires (say zone #1) to Zone#2 and see if you get the same short signal. If you do then you have a bad clock. If you don't and the short signal moves to Zone #1 then you have wires in the yard that are touching. This can be hard to locate depending on how far it is between the clock and the valve. Might need a professional to help at that point. Using tracing equipment a good pro can locate your short.
Good luck,

Love is a pain iv giving up all hope and shit it's pointless now a days to even search when u may get a payscho
I don't think love is impossible to find. The problem is is that most have already found it in their own mind. But instead of finding the real thing inside themselves, they've found fool's gold; people make assumptions and judgements about what love really is, and then go out and try to apply that to the behavior of the masses until one fools themselves into thinking they've found someone who "matches" those pre-concieved notions of what love is. And even when they think they've found a match for themselves, they're off the mark because almost always it's a selfish and narcissistic definition people give to the word "love", and their partner is effectively reduced to their physical and emotional play thing. The proprietor becomes a puppeteer instead of lover, until their victim decides to cut the strings.
The reason most people cannot find love, is becuase their assumptions and judgements about what true love is are wrong; very few actually get it right on the dot in their whole lifetime. When someone contradicts what another has already assumed love is, that offended/confused person often makes the hasty and narrow minded conclusion that their partner must not love them - because their partner is not strictly adhering to what they know love is - instead of questioning what they think, learning from their mistakes and misconceptions and changing it to come closer to the truth.
It's not that you can't find love, it's always been there right in front of our face our entire life and will always continue to be. You're just blind to it because you yourself don't even know what you're looking for, and because you're so sure that you do, you can never know when you see love until that changes. How can you find what you don't even know to look for?
Utimately what "love" boils down to for most people is finding someone who belives in the same lies as they do, or finding one submissive enough to set aside their own misconceptions for anothers. It's a tragic formality that is hardly ever strayed from. Even by one who understands it completely.
there are so many people in the world today, people we think we have something together with, but its really not so. some people jump into relationships without thinkin twice and when they find out that it was never meant to be, but it was just a manifestation of how one should truly feels, they say that love gave up on them.
This is always not so.
What im tryin to say is although we sometimes try to fing love not only with our eyes and mind, but with our hearts as well, the chances are we might as well as we mightnt find it.
And should people believe in soulmates when theyve been heartbroken over and over again?
You seem pritty young to me and my main rule is that "there is no such thing as love in high school" If that is where you are at, so just wait till your older you might find that special someone then, or if you cant find love amybe its not them maybe its you? Just giving ideas.
I was cheated on by five guys in a row before my guy now. My guy and me have been together three months almost, and I know I don't have to worry about him cheating on me.
I thought I was in love several times with guys before. Then I find out they cheated on me and my world came crashing down. But those men don't deserve me. Just like whoever hurt you, obviously don't deserve you. Whatever you do don't go back to whoever, because if they loved you like you loved them, they wouldn't have hurt you. I got over the idiots that cheated on me each time, and each time rather quickly. I kept doing so until I found the person I have now. He was one of my friends and I've known him for about five years. You just have to keep telling yourself that there's someone out there that will love you like you will love them. That's what kept me going. And this time I think I found the right person I can let myself love without getting hurt.
I hate being single but what are u going to do about it nothing really u jsut ahve to accpet the fact
So if she and I can randomly find each other and love each other to a point that will make some one sick by being in proxy to us, then you can find some one as well.
prove ti to me that theres someone out there for me i had the one for me but i let here go my fault so ill never have another chance at true love again and iv come to terms with that as long as i got music, anime, and my car ill be all right

Anyone know where Persimmons/PawPaws are growing wild in NJ?
Does anyone know where American Persimmons (Diospyros virginiana) and PawPaw (Asimina triloba) are growing wild in New Jersey? Or if someone has an American Persimmon tree of their own that I can look at to see its growth habit in real-life.
[In central/north New Jersey or in NY state near north Jersey.]
Hey Steve, I live in Forked River and have been told that several trees in my yard are wild persimmon trees. The lady next door to me said they would grow wild all around here since she was a little girl, and she is 89 years old now. Now, me knowing only of persimmon trees that you see in tree catalogs that are self pollinating, I am not too familar with my trees, as my neighbor (who is one of the town historians/gardeners) told me that these trees need a female and male tree to produce persimmons, but now I only have males in my yard? I hope that helps. I can take pics of them for you or you are welcome to take a look. There is also a park around here that my neighbor says they still fruit. Christy
There are quite a few trees growing at Rancocas Nature Center, which is part of Rancocas State Park in Westampton, NJ (Burlington County).
Hey there Steve,
I realize this is an old thread, but I am interested in what you ended up finding in the wild in New Jersey. As the previous responses show, finding the persimmon was probably relatively easy. I was just back there and took some hardwood cuttings and bareroot specimens from a number of plants, including persimmon. But what I really wanted was pawpaw...
According to the USDA Plants Database, the persimmon occurs in all but a couple northern counties in NJ, but the pawpaw only occurs in the western counties, and is endangered in NJ. Wardda's assumption that the pawpaw's range doesn't include NJ may not be true, since every source I have seen shows this species as occuring in your state, albeit not as a common member of the vegetation. Again, if you look at the USDA Plants site the pawpaw range mape even includes some southern and western counties of New York State. These range maps usually show the bare minimum of occurrences, since they are based mostly on herbarium specimens and sightings in the scientific literature.
One location (albeit not too current) for pawpaw in the area that I was able to track down on the web was for southern Staten Island. Yes, an apparently healthy wild grove of pawpaw was documented there by a plant society based in (if I remember correctly) Ulster County, NY. Sorry that I don't have the URL, but you should be able to track it down on google if you're still interested.
Hope this was in some way helpful...
It's been a lot of time, but more so: a lot of hiking and research, since my initial posting.
Paw paw (Asimina triloba) can be found (indigenous):
Salem County (i.e. Parvin State Park)
Glouster County
Somerset/Hunterdon County (i.e. Sourland Mountain)
Hunterdon County (Tetertown Ravine)
Monmouth County (cf: DEP)
Mercer County (Trenton Marsh)
Middlesex County (Cranbury - cultivated?)
Staten Island (non-indigenous; escaped from cultivation)
NY/Ulster County (near New Palz; likely result of cultivation)
Passaic County (Ringwood State Park; result of cultivation)
As for common persimmon, northern stands are:
Bergen County (Franklin Lakes; Ridgefield)
Sussex County (Swartswood/Stillwater; Fredon; Hamburg; Andover JCT.)
Warren County (White Lake)
Essex County (West Orange; Chatham)
Somerset & Middlesex County (many locations)
Hunterdon (several locations)
Central and South Jersey (most of the species presence is here)
Long Island and New York City & vicinity
I'd like to find more stands of it in: Bergen Co.; Passaic Co.; Warren Co.; Essex Co.; Sussex Co.; and a little more in places like Somerset Co., etc.
Please let me know of any findings for the northern portion of New Jersey.
Does anyone know if there are paw paw trees in Burlington County, other then the above mentioned location off of Grant Street?
forgot, a number of persimmon stands in Staten Island, also.
Since common persimmon is found in a number of locations in Sussex Co. (I was disappointed not to find it along the Delaware River, however), I wonder if it will ever be found in Orange or Rockland Counties, New York (Southern Hudson Valley)..
There is a large stand in the center of Harriman State Park, Stony Point, Rockland County, NY - but it's the result of cultivation.
(I also left out: any Morris County locations?)
Last weekend I (twice) determined by personally visiting the Grant St. "Gardens" area in Mt. Holly that there are NO Paw Paws present. There is no new construction, so I doubt they were cut down, but I walked all up and down the street and into the wooded areas. The closest thing I found were groves of a type of magnolia with huge leaves, shaped like Paw Paw leaves, but over twice as large, with a different growing habit and branch arrangement. So I think rikster was mistaken on that point.
I did however go visit the allegedly largest Paw Paw in NJ up in Cranbury. Alas the last fruit had fallen and been eaten by squirrels. All that was left were some piles of seeds, which took a bunch of.
Update: I visited the Rancocas Nature Center, which is also close to me, assuming what cdubrul said was growing there was paw-paws. Now I know what was meant was persimmons, though coincidentally they DO have a paw paw tree growing behind the building. One guy there said someone comes around each year giving away his paw paw fruit, and he gave them that tree years ago. It flowers but has yet to fruit. I think I saw a small one in a pot...
Now as for the persimmons, I hiked around and slowly realized how many persimmon trees there were, many very small. But ONLY ONE had any fruit on them! I was able to reach only a dozen or so, and tasted a few. Very tasty - seems a more concentrated flavor than those sold in stores. I also learned this weekend that an uncle of mine (who passed away) has a large tree in his back yard in Malaga. I checked it out - it was indeed big, but had not one fruit on it. Only a single shriveled fruit on the ground...
I know this is an old thread, but there are wild paw-paws growing off rt 130 in Hamilton by the huge shopping center. As you go around the jug-handle to get into the shopping center (first entrance going south), look to your left after the hotel. There is a small grove of them there.
Adding to this long discussion, re. pawpaw in NJ, there are I believe only two native occurrences (it's S1 in NJ, i.e. fewer than five native occurrences) but it's been planted in a lot of places and is starting to show up as an escape in the wild. The tree at the Rancocas Nature Center, mentioned above, was planted about 20 years ago from seed collected at Elk Neck State Park in Maryland. The clone on Staten Island, also mentioned above, was also planted. Re. persimmon, it's common in South Jersey outside of the Pine Barrens. It's along the entrance drive to Forsythe NWR (Brigantine). Lots of it around Cape May Point. In West Deptford, there's a nice big prolific tree on the north side of Riverwinds Drive, opposite the Riverwind clubhouse. Only female trees produce fruit. The species can spread vegetatively, so you can find small groves that are all one sex, in fact, all one individual.

Reuse an old plastic bottle and turn it into useful bathroom storage. This Plastic Bottle Bathroom Storage project from Cristin Frank is perfect for holding makeup, toothbrushes, or cotton balls. It doesn't take up any space on the counter so it's great for small spaces. You could also use this storage container to hold art supplies, sponges in the kitchen, or as a catch all for keys and phones when you walk through the door.
- Plastic container - I used a large coffee creamer bottle, but shampoo bottles work great too.
- X-Acto knife
- Safety plug - I'm talking about those plastic plugs that block outlets so kids don't stick their little fingers in them. Or, if you keep your hairdryer (or whatever) plugged in, you could just do that to hold up your container.
- (Optional) Mod Podge, fabric, decorative paper - whatever you would want to dress up your bottle.
Remove the label from the bottle.
Using a pencil, create an outline on the bottle of where you need to cut. If the edges are rough, you can use some sand paper to smooth them out.
If desired, decorate the bottom with paper or fabric and Mod Podge.
- Attach to safety plug and get to organizing!

DEFINITION of 'Domini 400 Social Index'
A market cap weighted stock index of 400 publicly traded companies that have met certain standards of social and environmental excellence. Potential candidates for this index will have positive records on issues such as employee and human relations, product safety, environmental safety, and corporate governance. Companies engaged in the business of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, gambling, nuclear power and military weapons are automatically excluded.
This relatively new index was designed to help socially conscious investors weigh social and environmental factors in their investment choices.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Domini 400 Social Index'
Socially conscious investing is a growing trend across many demographic and geographic areas, and having a social conscience may become a competitive advantage for corporations through their relationships with shareholders.
The index is independently maintained by research firm KLD Research & Analytics, and aims to be comprised of chiefly large cap stocks in the S&P 500; the ranges break down as follows:
1. Approximately 250 companies in the S&P 500
2. 100 companies not in the S&P 500, but providing sector diversification and exceeding pre-determined market cap limitations
3. 50 companies that have shown excellence in their social and environmental dealings

Downes on the National Broadband Plan
At the Washington Post, Larry Downes has penned a piece highlighting a recent Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy event commemorating the fifth anniversary of the National Broadband Plan. Headlined "Did the National Broadband Plan spur innovation?" the full piece is definitely worth checking out. An excerpt:
For the next five years, we need a significant policy reset to meet both the challenges and opportunities of the broadband revolution. Or rather, as I've argued before, a return to the bipartisan "light touch" policy embraced in the early years of the Internet revolution, in which regulators largely left broadband governance to the multi-stakeholder engineering-driven process that created the technology in the first place.
As the broadband revolution spreads its disruption farther from traditional computing, communications and consumer electronics industries, innovators need a kind of Hippocratic Oath from policymakers of all political persuasions. When considering regulatory intervention in quickly-evolving markets and technologies, our overriding public policy should be "first, do no harm."
But given the alarming rise in heavy-handed interventions from state and local regulators, as well as a growing list of federal agencies including the FAA, FDA, FTC, SEC and the FCC itself, the prospects for a return to more rational policies — the kind that encouraged the broadband revolution to achieve the remarkable progress we have already witnessed — seem dim, at least for now.
The seeds for the National Broadband Plan were sown in the early days of the Obama administration. Perhaps the next president will call for a second plan that will build on the successes of the first. And learn from its misfires.
