Rated 3 out of 5 by AndiMcD Excellent location. Good amenities I travel to Montreal a few times a year, and have been staying at this hotel for almost 20 years. Best location for my business needs February 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Goalie Great Location / Good Hotel I stay in Sheraton hotels fairly frequently and I usually have no problems. When I arrived on Super Bowl Sunday approx 5 pm I had 2 rooms and only one was ready. I used my upgrades for suites and they said to come back. I returned in an hour and it still wasn't ready and they said they were cleaning it right away. I was then given another room which was sub standard and said I will wait for the room they promised so finally after the Super Bowl they had my room ready. Approx 10 pm. I was not happy. February 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cheryl44 Wonderful stay! Great hotel in all aspects, but the beds & pillows were the most comfortable I've slept on in a hotel in years. No complaints! February 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by raslease Hotel is well situated and convenient Front desk was very pleasant and helpful. The room was spacious and clean and all amenities were good quality. Very convenient and abundant plugs at the desk to handle all of today's electronics. The club lounge was large and spacious with a very helpful staff. From this location you are close yo everything. February 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by djn99 Turning a Negative into a Positive! When I arrived in my room I noticed some small black specks on the bed cover. When I investigated more closely, I noticed hair on the bed cover as well. I returned to the front desk and advised Anna. She was very customer focused and went out of her way to apologize and offered me a room upgrade and 2 complimentary drinks at the bar. This was totally unexpected, but most appreciated. Thanks Anna and Sheraton team, great work! January 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Slye Very expensive Very nice up to date room, will however not stay again only because of the price. Cannot justify spending 270. 00 for about a 7 hour stay, next time will just drive home after the hockey game January 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Perl4999 Tough Stay The room i reserved was not avail, received a very small room. The walls were so thin I could hear the person in the next room coughing and snoring. January 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jan2014 Lounge Joanne was incredible working the lounge. Excellant service! January 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JG14 Just felt like average Our stay was just ok nothing special, woke up several times due noises in hall every time someone going back to room, bell noise from elevator kinda annoying, pool seemed to close early but opened after we called down, will probably stay again because it is close to where we enjoy to spend time while in Montreal and we do not like to drive about once we are settle...thnks January 20, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lackofwireless27 Wireless too slow I have been a SPG member for many years. I am generaly happy with the service and hotel stays. I am not happy with the consistent poor wireless connections in several of your hotels. Please invest in better wireless connection service as the business traveller is demanding it!!! Also, checking into Queen West is a terrible set up which drives lineups, and lack of view to assess your wait time. January 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hussein50 Great and friendly staff Beside being very comfortable, I found the staff extremely accommodating. I needed work done on my pants that ripped during the meeting, they picked the pants up and fixed it nicely and laundered it for me at a very reasonable price and very quick as well. Thank you. January 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Voyager9270 Generally pleased, with a few minor quibbles For the most part, the hotel provided everything we needed. I have a few quibbles regarding sheets that were overstarched and not properly tucked into the bed, garbage in the hallway that was not promptly removed, and excessive prices at the hotel bar, but generally speaking, we were happy. We especially loved the gym! January 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Albaba Facilities Excellent Conference Facilities January 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Scott19 Terrible Customer Service! The hotel is nice, conveniently located to the Bell Centre and downtown but I was so put off by the staff it's not even funny. I was in shock by the attitude of the front desk staff and will never return to this property. January 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BillY1982 Overall very good. Improvement needed on customer service What was good. 1. The room is clean. The Sealy bed is very comfortable. Room facilities (water bottles, coffee bags, bathroom kits) are provided promptly when ordered. 2. I was offered to a choice of another room with better views or with a living room since I had a long stay. What needs improvement 1. Project & Incident management - The internet service was upgraded in December, 2013. It was a complete bad project over the weekend: No fallback plan, No Plan B, Slow recovery (more than 2 days). I had the impression that the guests were not updated on the recovery process. I had to call many times and ended up complaining to the managers. 2. Laundry service - There were numerous times where I had to ask for the laundry sheet and the bag because they were not replaced. It was very inconvenient. (I had a long stay for 1 month). 3. Insufficient internal communication amongst staff - Many times after I declined housekeeping, the ladies still tried to come in and clean the room. And some occasions where two different staff try to bring the same things to me twice... My overall impression is very good, but the hotel feels under-staffed. I guess it would be understandable due to the expensive labor cost in North America. January 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wally416 Friendly staff We enjoyed the close proximity for shopping and hockey. The staff made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. Many thanks, we will return. January 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by sankey40 This hotel is a good choice in Montreal After a terrible experience in the Sheraton Times Square NY, we really liked this hotel . Wonderful ambience, great dining room and excellent breakfast facilities, super bar, pleasant room. The only thing missing is fee wifi in the rooms. On Xmas Day the Sheraton Centre offers a free lunch to 600 handicapped, and their staff volunteer to help. Bravo. December 26, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by tb0674 Review Overall, the service was good. The pop machine on the 15th floor close to room 1509 was broken. I tried at least 3 or 4 times to put $2.25 in to get a pop or juice and it didn't work. It was not out of stock and I tried getting my money back and it didn't work. December 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hadrian9637 Montreal - New Job - Sort Of The Sheraton Centre in Montreal is, and always has been, my 'go-to' destination whenever I need to be in Montreal. Great location within walking distance of the shops on Ste Catherine, the Central station, and the main highways in/out of town. The rooms are fabulous with amazining views over the island, the mountain, and the river. The renos done to the rooms have made them even more comfortable. December 10, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by OttawaAlex Basics are all there but hotel is tired I stayed at the Sheraton for two nights in December. Pros: It was very close to all the things I needed to get to in downtown Montreal. My room was comfortable and clean, and good-sized. The bed was very comfortable. Cons: The hotel is tired and needs an update. The bathroom was particularly in need of improvement: very bad lighting, tub needed regrouping, floor tiles cracked and broken. We got back to the hotel late after giving a concert. It was 11 pm on a Saturday and there was no food available from either the bar or room service. This is bizarre in a downtown Montreal hotel. December 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FirstEverREVIEW44 General Manager Made it right I spend many nights in SPG hotels and most of the time everything goes perfect...Although this stay wasn't perfect, the GM made everything right, and I left with a GREAT feeling of being a valued Guest... Great GM Great JOB... December 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FFcash1234 Montreal trip I got to visit your hotel on your worst day. The hotel pool flooded and took out the elevators. I had to walk up 24 flights to my room, but hey I liked the exercise. I got to say your staff were excellent in resolving the problem and hundreds either walked or waiting a long time for the service elevators. Overall, the entire hotel met my needs. Across the street to my meetings. Down teh road from the Eaton centre, close to Old Montreal, and about 20 minutes from the airport pending on traffic. December 2, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Helene21 Raining inside the elevators Hello, Unfortunately this was not the best stay due to the fact that when we checked in around 1745 it was actually raining in the elevators. As soon as the doors opened, rain was poring down the top of the door and actually kind of ruined the hair I had just fixed up...notwithstanding the rain on my leather jacket. I had to blow dry my hair when I got to my room so was a bit late for my business dinner. Then when we came back from dinner around 2130-2200 we had to line up for the service elevator for quite some time. In the morning I asked if complimentary coffee was served anywhere and was told I could go to the coffee bar to purchase some. I found out after by colleagues that I could have gone to the 37th floor...There was no apologies at any time for the inconvenience the water issues caused which kind of surprised me. December 1, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ramin17 No elevators, no front door,.... Elevators were not working for more than 24 hours. I can accept a couple of hours, but more than that implies lack of management's ability to deal with situations. Front door was under service, reduced to one small door with tiny opening. There were always people in front of the tiny door smoking. Walking out of the hotel was like walking into a smoke curtain. November 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jburron Nickel and dime I have stayed here many times. It is my go to hotel in Montreal but sometimes I wonder... There was a problem with the elevators and it was tedious to get up and down so I had a couple of items I thought I'd leave with the concierge. I said the reason I was there is the elevators are slow and he said there is a charge of $6 to leave something. I thought it odd as I was still in my room do another night and for a company like Sheraton to do this after offering free internet and computers downstairs it was more strange. Maybe try another spot in future. November 28, 2013

Bad Points
Medium button feel.
General Comments
This is the best phone I've ever used. The Siemens ME45 is a very tough phone and its dimensions are excellent for me. Its battery has an excellent performance as it lasts for about one week with normal usage. The phone has a large display and many features. Also, it can store 500 names with 14 fields each. The flexible memory is another useful feature and the phone has also infrared port. Finally, reception and sound quality are very good. I highly recommend this phone, it is a masterpiece. Well done, Siemens!

Direct Marketing Association predicts mobile direct marketing spend to grow 51 percent this year.
Spending on digital marketing will be led by mobile, according to the latest edition of the Direct Marketing Association's biennial report. The trade group predicts mobile direct marketing spending to grow 51 percent this year and 39 percent in 2012.
Together the DMA projects spending on digital direct marketing will hit $31.3 billion this year and $35.4 billion in 2012. The total encompasses online search and display, social networking, mobile, commercial email, and other forms of digital channels such as rich media and advergaming.
The group said digital channel expenditures will account for 21 percent of direct marketing budgets in 2012, up from 19 percent this year. The DMA's "Power of Direct Marketing" report, released yesterday, measures U.S. direct marketing activity.
Spending on social networking by direct marketers will also grow substantially this year and next, according to the report. It will reach $2.5 billion this year, growing 27.4 percent; in 2012 it will hit $3 billion, growing 19.6 percent year-over-year.
Search and display spending account for the largest portions of digital media spending by direct marketers. The channels will maintain growth, but will slow in 2012, according to the DMA. Both channels are set to rise 18.3 percent this year, with search reaching $14 billion and display $8.5 billion. Search growth will taper to around 12 percent next year, hitting $15.6 billion; display is expected to increase by 11 percent in 2012 and reach $9.5 billion.
By comparison, the Interactive Advertising Bureau reported that display ad revenues came in at $5.5 billion in the first half of this year, an increase of 27 percent over the same period of 2010. Typically, online ad spending increases in the second half of the year, suggesting the IAB and DMA may be in sync considering the IAB tracks brand advertising spend in addition to direct marketing spend.
Mobile still only makes up a sliver of the digital pie. The DMA predicts mobile spending will reach $900 million this year and hit $1.2 billion in 2012.
Meanwhile, as digital channels experience double-digit growth through 2012, traditional channels such as direct response TV and direct mail will grow at single-digit rates.

John McPhee wrote a great book, The Pine Barrens, about the biology, history and people of the pines. He describes things like this….cars that had a purpose and sometimes left where they died. As I recall one individual had stories that, perhaps only important to the teller, went along with his cars. I pass this car on my way to visit a NJ Audubon sanctuary. This property was once privately owned so it wouldn't surprise me that this car, in the middle of nowhere it would seem, just died and has a story to tell. Go out and experience the Pines. –at NJ Audubon Bartlett's Branch and Bass River State Forest.
On January 12, 2015 the New Jersey Audubon Stewardship Department was awarded the Firman E. Bear Chapter of the Soil & Water Conservation Society's Ecological Excellence Award. The award is given annually to an individual or organization that displays excellence in an ecological restoration project, unique soil and water conservation stabilization project, or innovative habitat development or enhancement project.
The NJA project that was selected was the conversion of an existing dilapidated in-ground swimming pool into a functioning vernal pool. "The Ecological Excellence Award is a great way to recognize projects in NJ that are making a difference for the environment. The NJ Soil and Water Conservation Society is proud to honor NJ Audubon with the 2014 award for their innovative restoration project at the Wattles property," said the SWCS Chapter's President, Christine Hall. "Our awards committee was impressed with this very unique project and the public awareness component that may lead to the protection of vernal pools elsewhere."
Vernal pools are confined wetland depressions, either natural or man-made, that hold water for at least two consecutive months out of the year and are devoid of fish. These unique ecosystems provide habitat to many species of amphibians, insects, reptiles, plants, and other wildlife.
The Wattles Stewardship Center site is home to several amphibian species that rely exclusively on vernal pools as breeding areas. With the abundance of vernal pool breeders on site, an innovative proposal was made by NJ Audubon to USFWS under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program to take the onsite in-ground swimming pool that had become non-functional and convert it into a functional vernal pool. This converted pool serves not only as prime suitable breeding habitat for amphibian species, but is also used for educational purposes to promote the importance and ecological significance of vernal pools. Additional support for the project had also been received from PSE&G, NJDFW and donated native plant materials were provided by the Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership (CWRP).
NJA believes it essential to bring public awareness to vernal pools because although the NJ Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act has been in place since 1989, many vernal pools had been filled because wetlands smaller than 1 acre were exempt from the regulatory protection prior to 2008. Fortunately, we can re-establish vernal ponds that look and function like their natural counterparts, thus, restoring an important component of the landscape.
New Jersey Audubon would like to express sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Firman E. Bear Chapter of the Soil & Water Conservation Society, as well as, Pinelands Nursery and the committee for selecting our project for the award. We also thank the Chapter for continuing to support and encourage science-based conservation practice, programs, and policy.
New Jersey Audubon is embarking upon an ambitious effort to restore Northern Bobwhite to New Jersey. According to the data from the Breeding Bird Survey and Christmas Bird Count, the Northern Bobwhite quail has suffered one of the most severe population declines of any North American bird (an approximately 82% decline in the last forty years). This decline, attributed to habitat loss, fragmentation and predation, has also been connected to the significant loss of the young forest habitat. Habitat that is needed for nesting, resting, escape cover, and food resources. States in the southeast, particularly Georgia and Florida, have had success rebuilding quail populations through forest stewardship, including thinning pine stands with mechanical and herbicide treatments in conjunction with prescribed burning. This not only provides the critical habitat needs for Northern Bobwhite, but also benefits other young forest species and increases overall forest health. Since 1996, Tall Timbers Research Station in Florida has shown that through forest stewardship the Bobwhite population was increased 10-fold, reaching as high as two bobwhites per acre in the fall.
Recognizing the similarity in habitat between southern pine forests and the New Jersey pinelands, New Jersey Audubon staff began investigating sites and partners for potential habitat management conducive to Northern Bobwhite restoration. Almost simultaneously, discussions began with the Pine Island Cranberry Co. focused on Corporate Stewardship Council membership. Through discussions with Pine Island NJA learned of the scale of their property and also their efforts to undertake forest stewardship. Pine Island Cranberry owns approximately 17,000 acres in the heart of the pinelands and has been implementing a forest stewardship plan for years. In 2013 NJ Audubon welcomed Pine Island Cranberry as a member of the Corporate Stewardship Council and began specific discussions with them about potential stewardship projects, a requirement of Corporate Stewardship Council membership.
Pine Island Cranberry's Forest Stewardship Plan emphasizes long-term active forest management on a landscape scale, while enhancing a wide range of forest resources, wildlife habitat, and ecosystem service benefits (e.g., improved watershed heath). "The key to this business is water," said Pine Island Cranberry CEO, Bill Haines. "The protection of our water supply has protected this business from the beginning. That's how this family (the Haines family) was raised: if you have a resource, it's your responsibility to take care of it."
The Forest Stewardship Plan for the property, developed by distinguished NJ State Approved Forester Bob Williams (recipient of the 2013 NJ Audubon Richard Kane Conservation Award), utilizes a variety of forestry prescriptions and techniques, including prescribed burning and forest thinning. Both techniques help to promote forest regeneration and native herbaceous plant and tree regrowth.
Recognizing the outstanding forest and land management practices at the Pine Island Cranberry site, NJ Audubon initiated discussion about a Northern Bobwhite restoration effort. These discussions included engaging several partners, starting with Pine Island Cranberry Company and Forester Bob Williams, but then quickly expanding to include Dr. Chris Williams from the University of Delaware, Dr. Theron Terhune at the Tall Timbers Research Station and Land Conservancy and Dave Golden with the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife. While Pine Island Cranberry and Bob Williams had been working diligently for several years on forest stewardship, Dr. Williams had been bringing students to the site to survey birds and other wildlife and was involved in a study of captive rearing and release techniques for quail at a site outside of NJ. NJ Audubon was also aware of the research efforts and depth of knowledge on quail conservation at the Tall Timbers Research Station. Through mutual friends NJA connected all the dots and arranged for Tall Timbers leading quail biologist to come visit with us and tour the Pine Island Cranberry property. Following that site visit and discussions about projects in nearby states, the decision was made to add the Pine Island site in New Jersey to a multi-state initiative to re-establish Northern Bobwhite in the Mid-Atlantic States. New Jersey will have the unique focus of releasing wild quail to the Pine Island Cranberry Property. Other aspects of the multi-state project include testing methods of raising and rearing captive bred quail in other states participating in the initiative, however no captive bred quail will be release in the NJ study.
Beginning in 2015 wild quail will be captured on private land in Georgia, health tested, radio tagged, transferred and ultimately released on Pine Island Cranberry's property for study. Through the capture and release of 80 wild birds per year over the next three years (total of 240 wild birds) New Jersey Audubon and partners hope to establish a self-sustaining population of wild Northern Bobwhite in the heart of New Jersey's Pinelands.
Financial support for the project has been generously provided by the Haines Family Foundation and other anonymous donors.

On October 14, 2014 the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) hosted New Jersey Audubon's Corporate Stewardship Council's (CSC) annual meeting at their offices in Trenton. The meeting was presided over by CSC Co-Chairmen, Mr. Ralph LaRossa, President of Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G) and Mr. Keith Campbell, Chairman of the Board of Mannington Mills, Inc. In attendance was NJDEP Commissioner Bob Martin who commended members of the Council for another highly successful year and their commitment to ecological sustainability. Commissioner Martin also reiterated the importance of the CSC initiative that affords the private sector an opportunity to take leadership roles in conservation stewardship that provides habitat restoration projects that benefit wildlife species all over the State.
The Corporate Stewardship Council (CSC) is a unique group of 19 New Jersey companies united behind a common goal of environmental sustainability and responsibility. Member companies include co-chairs PSEG and Mannington Mills, as well as Verizon, Johnson & Johnson, DuPont, Atlantic City Electric, JCP&L, United Water, New Jersey American Water, New Jersey Natural Gas, Eagle Ridge Golf Club, Merck, Eastern Propane, South Jersey Gas, Trump National Golf Club-Bedminster, Covanta Energy, New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance, Pfizer and Pine Island Cranberry Company Inc. Ex-officio CSC members are the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Each member company works closely with Stewardship Department staff at New Jersey Audubon to evaluate habitat restoration or enhancement potential on its property or affiliated sites. Once identified, they work together to develop and implement a conservation plan intended to improve upon existing conditions and enhance or restore habitat for wildlife and plants. In many cases, work is done specifically for the benefit of threatened or endangered species.
"What separates the NJ Audubon CSC from other habitat restoration or certification programs for big business is that the CSC requires members to perform the necessary stewardship work long after the initial restoration or enhancement activities are performed," said NJ Audubon Stewardship Project Director John Parke " It is only trough the continued stewardship of the projects that meaningful results can be obtained".
Ecological restoration and stewardship of those restored lands are endeavors of public concern, even if it is conducted on privately owned land without public expenditure. A restored ecosystem that is maintained over time provides beneficial natural services well beyond property boundaries. We depend on ecological goods and services everyday for our health, social, cultural, and economic needs. Ecological functions are the base resources that sustain our lives. The sustainability of communities and economies depends upon our ability to restore and steward the ecological functions of our landscapes for future generations, and the members of the CSC are doing just that through their projects.

On September 11, 2014, New Jersey Audubon was presented with the Rutgers Gardens 2014 Distinguished Achievement in Horticulture Award. This award recognizes an individual or group who has made noteworthy contributions in the promotion and stewardship of public horticulture.
"Horticulture plays an important part of connecting people with the natural world," said John Parke, Stewardship Project Director of NJ Audubon. "Gardening is a great way to engage and empower people to become better stewards of the land and allows them to become intimately familiar with how plants play a vital role in the health and well-being of our society."
New Jersey Audubon would like to express sincere gratitude and appreciation to Rutgers Gardens and its Director, Bruce Crawford, for the award. Recognition by the Rutgers Gardens is truly an honor especially given Rutgers Gardens leadership and excellence in the art of horticulture that emphasis the relationship between plants, human health and nutrition in the designed, as well as in the natural landscape.
Each year New Jersey Audubon presents its Richard Kane Conservation Award, (named after NJ Audubon's retired VP of Conservation) to a person(s) that has made a significant contribution to the conservation of birds, wildlife, natural resources and habitat in New Jersey.
On September 13, 2014 the award was presented to Dan and Barbara Todd who exemplify exceptional land management practices and stewardship.
Dan and his wife Barbara own the 132 acre Dardan Farm in Tewksbury, NJ. In 2009 they began partnering with NJ Audubon when they enrolled in NJ Audubon's Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program Partnership Grant. The goal was to establish grassland habitat for rare and declining birds, but also to establish a biofuel market for the grass. In total Dan planted 66 acres of native warm season grass, 11 acres of cool season grass under a delayed mow regime, and 11 acres of brush management and hedge row removal, optimizing the farm for grassland birds.
Dardan Farm was a pivotal property towards reestablishing native warm-season grass in the region given the site's adjacency to the Cold Brook Preserve. Comprised of 287 acres, Cold Brook, once a working farm, was acquired by Hunterdon County in 1982 and is the only county parkland in Tewksbury Township. Today Cold Brook consists of fallow and cultivated fields that are important to a variety grassland birds. The habitat creation and enhancement that Dan undertook extended the available habitat from the core patch found at the Cold Brook preserve, providing critical nesting \habitat for Bobolink, Savannah Sparrow, Grasshopper Sparrow, American Kestrel, Field Sparrow, Eastern Meadowlark and Indigo Bunting, among others. These grasslands also provide wintering habitat for birds and other wildlife, including Northern Harrier.
Dan and Barbara's farm is also a model property for agriculture given the best management practices he has implemented. Dan has worked closely with NJ Audubon, the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to optimize the farm for wildlife, soil health, and agricultural production. Further, Dan has been a champion of using prescribed fire for habitat management - he accomplished his own burn in 2013 and has been a strong advocate and vocal community leader promoting the benefits of burning for both fuel reduction as well as habitat management.
Dan has also been an early supporter of biofuel and worked with NJ Audubon to try and identify and create a market for the grassland slash as a biofuel. While those efforts have yet to reach the scale we hope for, Dan has continued to look for outlets for the grass. This has included selling grass to the mushroom industry for use as a medium, and promoting it for forage to livestock and horse owners. Dan has had success promoting grass as forage where others have not.
The fields that Dan and Barbara have tended, the grass he has grown and his farm overall reflect their deep commitment to the land. Anyone that meets or talks with Dan will quickly recognize his commitment and passion for habitat and stewardship. The native warm season grasses he has established on his farm are providing some of the best grassland bird habitat in Hunterdon County. They have served as a model for other farms, farmers and landowners.
New Jersey Audubon congratulates Dan and Barbara Todd and thanks them for their outstanding commitment to conservation!
South Jersey Gas, in cooperation with New Jersey Audubon's Corporate Stewardship Council, announced today that it has received NJ Forest Service approval for a Forest Stewardship Plan on 13 acres of forest adjacent to its Cape May divisional office along Route 9 in Swainton. This property has also received Forest Stewardship Council® certification, which is an internationally recognized standard for responsible forest management.
Based on the details of the 10 year plan, forest stewardship at this site will focus on enhancing forest health, diversity and integrity. Specifically, steps will be taken to create an enhanced structure to provide varied food sources, nesting and escape cover for birds. In addition, to create a better habitat for reptiles and amphibians, the plan includes the creation of small canopy openings for basking and nesting reptiles; retaining woody debris on the ground for amphibians; and establishing several breeding ponds or vernal pools for amphibians.
"We're excited to begin this work in conjunction with New Jersey Audubon and improve the natural areas for both plant and animal life," said Jeffrey E. DuBois, president of South Jersey Gas. "By implementing this plan, we will create a much more ideal habitat for numerous plants and animals, both common and rare."
"The property's location in eastern Cape May County makes it a critical forested habitat for breeding and migrating songbirds and rare frogs and salamanders," according to John Cecil, New Jersey Audubon's Vice President for Stewardship. "We are delighted to work with South Jersey Gas on this worthwhile project."
Both organizations hope to begin plan implementation at the site this Fall.
Managing A Stubborn Invasive Vine
By Jean Lynch, Stewardship Project Director, South Region
For several years New Jersey Audubon's Stewardship staff has been working with a landowner in southern New Jersey to improve wildlife habitat. One of the striking problems on this property is a large kudzu infestation affecting the forest edge and the border between forest and field.
Kudzu is a non-native invasive vine with large compound leaves of three, purple flowers, and long hairy seed pods. Native to Asia, this vigorous vine was originally brought to the United States in the late 1800s as an ornamental plant. The vine was later promoted to help reduce soil erosion and increase livestock feed; however, the fast growing vine had quickly escaped into natural areas, blanketing entire landscapes. In the right conditions, kudzu can grow up to a foot per day by sending out roots wherever the vine touches the ground. As many as 30 vines can then grow from a single root crown, allowing it to easily out-compete native plants. Although primarily found in the southeast, kudzu has been detected as far north as Ontario and is found in several areas throughout New Jersey.
Although tackling an invasive vine like kudzu might appear intimidating to many, we hope you will be inspired by the tremendous progress that we've seen in just the two years since the summer of 2012 when the first "before" photos below were taken. At that time, kudzu completely covered many of the trees along the forest edge, and blanketed the field edge. Several of the trees had already died under the blanket of kudzu.
With a willing and determined landowner and our partners at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, we decided to take on the challenge of eradicating Kudzu from the property. Getting a handle on this vine has taken planning, the right equipment, and consistent attention, and while our work here isn't done, the results in just two years are remarkable.
In this and other efforts with invasive vines, we have used a combination of winter work and summer work to good effect. For kudzu, an herbicide mixed with oil (such as triclopyr ester) has been applied directly to the bark or to cut stems during the winter and summer months. Once the vine began to leaf out, the area with lower growing plants is mowed, followed by a foliar application of herbicide mixed with water (such as triclopyr amine). For the higher climbing vines in the tree tops, herbicide is then applied using a high pressure sprayer, curtesy of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In this instance, the dead vines are left to decompose on site, minimizing its spread into other areas.
On average, with a group of two to four people, it has only required about a day of work each winter and two or three half-days of work each summer to achieve the results pictured thus far. With the right equipment and the knowledge of how to effectively combine chemical control (herbicides) and mechanical control (cutting), you can make tremendous progress on even the toughest invasives problems.
You have to be at least as stubborn as the vines!
Representatives from Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), New Jersey Audubon and the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife recently banded four American Kestrel chicks at a nest box located at the South Branch Wildlife Management Area in Hillsborough, New Jersey. This marks the second consecutive year the three organizations have partnered to help boost the population of this threatened species.
"American Kestrel populations are experiencing long-term declines in North America and in 2012 they were added to the list of threatened species in New Jersey," said John Parke, Stewardship Project Director of New Jersey Audubon. "With the help of JCP&L and the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife, these nest boxes provide a critical part in the recovery of North America's smallest falcon."
The American Kestrel population has declined primarily due to lack of suitable habitat and the scarcity of nesting sites. Last year, JCP&L worked with NJ Audubon and the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife to install the nest boxes where two chicks ultimately were born. "We are hopeful that our efforts at the South Branch Wildlife Management Area will contribute to American Kestrels being removed from the threatened species list." said Jim Fakult, JCP&L President. "Placing nest boxes and helping support the wildlife area are just a few of the ways JCP&L employees contribute to the communities we serve."
The kestrel banding is part of an ongoing conservation program designed to study breeding patterns at the South Branch Wildlife Management Area. Created in 2006, the 422-acre location has been identified as a critical site for protecting nesting populations of threatened and endangered grassland birds. JCP&L helped restore the area by removing and recycling old electric wire, transformers and utility poles left by a former owner.
As an active member of the New Jersey Audubon's Corporate Stewardship Council (CSC), JCP&L continues to work together with its partners to help improve ecosystems in the communities it serves. New Jersey Audubon established the CSC with participation from corporate landowners who have expressed a commitment to environmental sustainability through their stewardship of the natural resources within and beyond their property boundaries. The CSC emphasizes voluntary stewardship and promotes conservation partnerships.
The Skillman property of Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products Company in Montgomery Township, Somerset County, New Jersey recently completed Phase I of a 10-year habitat restoration project focusing on migratory birds and water quality improvement. As an active member of New Jersey Audubon's Corporate Stewardship Council (CSC), Johnson & Johnson enrolled into the US Fish and Wildlife Services' Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program to implement the project. Paul Romberger, Johnson & Johnson Site Manager, explains "by implementing projects such as this, we fulfill our Credo commitment to respect the communities in which we live and work, as well as to preserve the environment."
"The Skillman site offers a unique opportunity to create important wildlife habitat, be a model for corporate land management, and demonstrate the value of native plant landscaping," said Brain Mash, USFWS Program Coordinator for Partners for Fish and Wildlife. "The Skillman property lies within a mostly rural part of the Millstone River watershed in an area important to migratory birds and other wildlife. A variety of restoration and habitat enhancement measures are being employed at the Skillman property to create attractive, low maintenance but high quality wildlife habitat."
Over several hundred native trees and shrubs were planted by USFWS, NJ Audubon and Johnson & Johnson staff this past spring around site ponds and streams in an effort to enhance the riparian buffer for migratory bird species such as: American Woodcock, Common Yellowthroat, Willow Flycatcher, Brown Thrasher, Orioles and Eastern Kingbird. Additionally many bird nest boxes have be erected on the site for Eastern Bluebird, Tree Swallow and the State Threatened American Kestrel as part of the habitat enhancement.
"Johnson & Johnson continues to show exceptional commitment for making New Jersey a better place for people and wildlife through its actions as a member of the CSC," said John Parke, Stewardship Project Director of NJ Audubon. "This project in the Central Piedmont Plains of New Jersey has overarching conservation goals to not only improve habitat for birds but to help improve water quality and watershed health."
Native trees and shrubs including buttonbush, arrowwood viburnum, pin oak, American sycamore, silky dogwood and elderberry were planted to create buffers around the open waters areas on the property that will help water quality by shading the water to regulate thermal pollution (e.g. warm water is less capable of holding dissolved oxygen) as well as making the areas less attractive to Canada geese, but more attractive to beneficial pollinators and song birds.

Title: Illuminati Card Game
Description: The complete set of cards from the Illuminati Card Game from Steve Jackson Games. This game came out in
and seems to predict a lot of events that have already happened, like 9/11.
I cant believe some people have never heard of these cards before, they had some 9/11 card also,
Seriously Tali, where have you been? CAVE?
90 percent of those on GLP should have known of this deck, Its a popular game.
Yup I'm a lil naive to be honest and wasn't really into conspiracy stuff til a year or so ago...
oh, lol ! well dont let it eat you up. some get so obsessed its a religion unto itself. Most fears get blown out of proportion and dont turn out, Like last year we were supposed to die from the swine flu, then the swine flu vaccine. Militia was supposed to kick down our doors if we didnt take it and we were to be hauled away in cattle cars to the camps
lol !!!!
I keep to myself mostly and study Gnosis and Esoteric Religions. Have fun and dont take stuff too seriously.
Haha no worries....what brought me here was a search for the oil spill and a third of the seas being dead (biblical)...
...and I stayed =)
I've learned a lot here.
I seriously thought that too ! I was totaly on edge, I was here following, I thought the oil was going to gush out even more and kill a third of the ocean. Obviously this was not it, Not like I wanted to see that, but just a sign that our Lord Christ is near
Anti Christ has to appear first though, and with my work in astrology , I think the signs point to that he is here. Where I have no idea. But its the Last days most definately.
This oil spill still might be it...it may take time to kill a third off still with the chemicals etc that were used....
i gotta agree...it is the last days...things are so unbelievably ass backwards and unreal, people are getting used to it, complacent...I think the bible warns of that as well.
The biggest sin of Noahs flood was indifference, People not caring.
The mark of being saved , is the "moaning and groaning" lol...... of this system of things, like its one bad stomach ache.... Being sad on its conditions.

"Text has enough flourish while still being easily readable - and the writing was not too small, which was a problem with other invites we had considered! Nice thick paper, back design did not show through to the front. Tree image was very clear, not blurry or smudged. Love this design!"
"I made the invitations a dark blue color to match the color that I chose for my wedding. The quality and printing of the invitations were very good, they turned out even better then I thought they would. I love the whimsical design of the swirls, everything shown on the invitation is very clear and legible. You get exactly what you approve the designer to do. Everyone who received the invitation loved it. They thought it it was very pretty. I just wish it had a little more space for the reception information."
"The invitations were delivered before the anticipated time. They are so beautiful. Everything we hoped that they would be."
"I loved this design from the beginning. It was perfect for our wedding theme; it has a nautical nod, which is what I was looking for. I was so excited for it to come and was even more impressed with it's timely arrival. These invitations, rsvp cards and enclosure cards exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with the final result. Worth every penny!"
"These invites are perfect. Simple and beautiful and really well made. The print is nice looking and the paper is very sturdy! So happy with them! Perfect with the Togetherness In Love RSVPs!"

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Blasting away at concussions
Local researchers hot on trail of reliable way to detect brain trauma
A team of Winnipeg researchers is the first in the world to blast the brain with controlled levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in a quest to develop a definitive test to diagnose concussions.
The cutting-edge work appears in the current edition of Plos One, a peer-reviewed, online medical journal published by the Public Library of Science (PLOS).
"These are preliminary findings, so by no means is this a home run. But we definitely think that we've got a man or two on base," says Dr. Michael Ellis, one of the study's authors.
Winnipeg's Pan Am Clinic hired Ellis last summer to treat child and adolescent concussion patients and to conduct concussion research. He will also head Pan Am's new concussion clinic, set to open in the fall at the MTS Iceplex.
Concussions are traumatic brain injuries that change brain function. Experts believe their effects -- visual disturbances, headaches, vomiting and confusion -- are usually temporary. In a few cases, concussions can cause permanent changes to the brain and even death.
There are no reliable tests to diagnose concussions. Rather, doctors rely on the Zurich Guidelines when diagnosing and treating concussed patients. Critics say the concussion symptoms outlined in the guidelines are too vague.
Dr. Alan Mutch, a neuroanesthetist and lead author of the PLOS study, says he hopes his team's findings will eventually unravel the mystery surrounding concussions and lead to a reliable diagnostic tool.
"We're excited about the preliminary results we have," says Mutch, noting that other researchers have hypothesized that concussions are caused by a lack of cerebral blood flow that results from a head injury.
Nevertheless, his research is still novel.
"We're the only the group in the world that's ever published using this technology in concussion," he says.
In the published results, 12 concussion patients and five control subjects were analyzed. Mutch says the study is ongoing and more research will be published in time.
Most of the concussion patients demonstrated a lack of cerebral blood flow compared with non-concussed subjects.
The technology used in the study involved what Mutch calls an MRI brain stress test.
It uses a powerful magnetic resonance imaging machine that Health Sciences Centre's Kleysen Institute of Advanced Medicine unveiled in 2013.
Mutch also used a computer-controlled "gas blender" that allowed study patients to breathe in carbon dioxide and oxygen through a tightly secured face mask.
"That breathing circuit allows us to change the gas concentrations in a very controlled manner," he says, noting that patients have two sensors attached to their heads.
"It shines infrared light through your forehead. It's completely painless. It's like if you're in a tent and you shine a flashlight through your hand when you're camping, and you can see the colour in your fingers come out.
"The whole brain lights up with carbon dioxide," he says.
"What it shows us is almost like a map of the brain's blood flow in response to this carbon dioxide stimulus."
Mutch learned how to use the technology during a six-month training stint in Toronto and eight months of training at the University of Cambridge in England.
Mutch says his research team was fortunate to gain access to the sophisticated MRI at HSC's Kleysen Institute, considering the clinical demands placed on it.
"This is quite an unusual situation. It's a real kudo to the powers that be at the Health Sciences Centre and the research foundation that's allowing this to be conducted."
Ellis, who treats up to 50 concussion patients in a week, says a need for more concussion knowledge is "urgent."
