Native seed bank may provide ash trees of the future
4/28/16 Volume XLIX, No. 16
As you may have heard, an invasive insect known as the Emerald Ash Borer is wiping out ash trees, one of New Jersey's most beautiful common and native trees. There seems to be no stopping the spread of these tiny winged insects, whose larvae tunnel through tree bark and eat the tender wood inside. Robbed of water and nutrients, infected ash trees die within two to four years. But there's still hope for future generations. That hope is contained in seed . . .
Urban farms bring healthy local foods
4/22/16 Volume XLIX, No. 15
The Garden State may be renowned for tomatoes, corn, peppers, blueberries and more, but in contrast many of its urban areas are "food deserts" nearly devoid of fresh produce. Food deserts are defined as geographic areas – often inner cities - where affordable and nutritious food is hard to find, especially for those without cars. According to a 2009 U.S. Department of Agriculture study, some 23.5 million people across the country lack access to a supermarket within . . .
National Park Service turns 100
4/15/16 Volume XLIX, No. 14
Steve Krakauer of Basking Ridge is on a mission of the most enjoyable kind: Visiting all of America's national parks, from Acadia to Zion. "I've hit 41 of the 59 so far," said Steve, an avid outdoorsman who loves hiking, biking, sailing and nature photography. Steve's quest began about five years ago, when he met a fellow traveler at Big Bend National Park in Texas whose goal was to fill a "passport" of visits to every national park. . . .
Make your yard and garden 'Jersey-Friendly'
4/8/16 Volume XLIX, No. 13
Spring is here, and garden centers are filled with a mind-boggling array of flowers, shrubs and trees. You are already envisioning how great your yard and garden will look. But before you choose your plants, do your homework to make sure they're "Jersey- Friendly." You may not realize this, but many garden center plants have been introduced from other continents and can be extremely harmful to our state's native plants. These "alien . . .
Density + diversity = good news for New Jersey farmers
4/1/16 Volume XLIX, No. 12
New Jersey is not only the nation's most densely populated state, but likely the most diverse. Name any nationality or ethnic group, and chances are this state we're in has an established community. Density and diversity are two big reasons Ben Spinelli is optimistic about the future of farming in the Garden State. "Our markets are like nowhere else in the world," said Spinelli, a consultant on agricultural issues, at the New Jersey Land Conservation . . .
If you see something (rare), say something!
3/25/16 Volume XLIX, No. 11
Have you spotted a bald eagle lately? Seen a bobcat at the edge of the woods? Caught a glimpse of a peregrine falcon, bog turtle, corn snake, blue-spotted salamander or southern gray tree frog? If you've seen these or dozens of other rare and endangered animals, the New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife's Endangered and Nongame Species Program wants to know. With warmer weather arriving and people spending more time outdoors, the state is asking . . .
Black swallowtail: New Jersey's official butterfly
3/17/16 Volume XLIX, No. 10
If the Garden State were to gather together its official plants and animals, what an incredible assemblage it would be! Eastern goldfinches flitting in the branches of a red oak tree, violets growing beneath and honeybees buzzing about. Blueberry bushes laden with ripe fruit, horses galloping in fields, and brook trout swimming in a freshwater stream. Nearby in the ocean, knobbed whelks. The black swallowtail butterfly is a welcome a new addition. Thanks to recent . . .
Childhood memories of Jersey swamps
3/11/16 Volume XLIX, No. 9
Stanley Bielen grew up in the 1960s and early '70s in the Tremley Point neighborhood of Linden. It was, in his words, a "wasteland" of refineries, tank yards, chemical plants and swamps. Yet, it was also his home, his playground - the only place he knew. He developed a lasting love of swamps. Now a Hunterdon County resident, Stan recently wrote an essay that eloquently captures a sense of place and time, while expressing optimism for the future. Here are . . .
Reversing fear of the outdoors
3/4/16 Volume XLIX, No. 8
Who's afraid of the great outdoors? Quite a few folks, it turns out. According to Juan Martinez of the Children & Nature Network, urban dwellers, minorities and members of the millennial generation are among those who may find nature intimidating. "Often times, the outdoors is perceived as something you have to have knowledge and experience to access," Juan explains. If people aren't aware of parks and nature preserves near them, or . . .
Paddling's popularity leads to more water trails
2/26/16 Volume XLIX, No. 8
Long before there were beaten footpaths and roads, people traveled by water. Native Americans and early settlers used New Jersey's network of rivers, streams and creeks to travel from place to place. Over time, villages, farms and industry sprang up. The waterways became not just transportation corridors, but rather destinations in their own right. Henry David Thoreau may have been the first American writer to document what we now call eco-tourism. In his 1864 book . . .
A conservationist's reading list
2/19/16 Volume XLIX, No. 7
Steven Dondero, a Centenary College student with an interest in conservation, wanted to know: What books should I read to learn about the environment, nature and land conservation? Students seeking extra reading should instantly get an A for effort! But Steven took it further by contacting members of the New Jersey Land Trust Network for recommendations and then creating an online book list for the public. His 100+ title list includes everything from inspirational writing to . . .
Double Trouble no trouble for volunteers
2/12/16 Volume XLIX, No. 6
With a name like "Double Trouble," you'd expect somebody's up to no good. But the opposite was true last weekend, when a large and enthusiastic group of volunteers lent a hand on a forestry project in Double Trouble State Park, in the Pine Barrens of Ocean County. Pine seedlings had been planted in the mid-1990s to help the park recover from a severe wildfire. After 20 years, however, they had grown in so thickly and crowded together that the site was once . . .
Great Falls of Paterson need protection, not development
2/5/16 Volume XLIX, No. 5
Only 15 miles from downtown Manhattan, New Jersey's newest national park – the Great Falls National Historic Park in the city of Paterson - is unique in its juxtaposition of stunning natural beauty with gritty industrial development. Its most iconic view is of the roaring waters of the 77-foot Great Falls, framed by an arched iron bridge and historic redbrick mills once powered by the falls and the three-tiered raceway system. Great Falls is the east coast's second . . .
Conservation trailblazer: Don Kirchhoffer
1/29/16 Volume XLIX, No. 4
Chances are you've never heard of Donald Kirchhoffer, who passed away on January 10 at the age of 93. Don was many things in his life, including a Navy torpedo man during World War II and a corporate human resources executive at RCA for nearly three decades. But his love of the land – especially the Pine Barrens, the place he called home for many years –led Don to a vital second career as a conservation advocate. While many people settle into a . . .
Hot real estate in Rutabaga Ridge
1/22/16 Volume XLIX, No. 3
Whether the real estate market goes up or down, open land remains a hot commodity in Garlic Grove, Cauliflower Corner, Tomatoville and Rutabaga Ridge. These are but a few of the "neighborhoods" in the huge community garden at Duke Farms in Hillsborough. At 462 plots, it's the nation's largest allotment-style community garden … and almost a town unto itself! Duke Farms announced in early January that it was opening up plots in its community . . .
Steps forward and back for conservation
1/15/16 Volume XLIX, No. 2
The New Jersey Legislature's "lame duck" session ended on Jan. 11 with a mixed bag of gains and losses for the environment and conservation. Steps forward: Legislators blocked rule changes that would have rolled back the state's water quality and flood control protections. The new rules were proposed last summer, ostensibly to streamline unwieldy state regulations. But it quickly became clear that they would go far beyond that and would weaken . . .
Resolve to use less energy in 2016
1/8/16 Volume XLIX, No. 1
Why would you use less energy? To save money? To simplify your life? To reduce greenhouse gas emissions? These are all good reasons, and they all go hand-in-hand. Energy efficiency and conservation, along with a shift to clean sources of energy, is one of the most important issues facing us today. Many states are embracing energy efficiency, according to the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy. For example, the Maryland Public Service Commission . . .
New Jersey shore's winter visitors
12/29/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 53
Many seasonal visitors come to New Jersey's beaches and bays, but few are more fascinating than the seals that migrate here from points north when the weather turns cold. Atlantic harbor seals, as well as harp, gray and hooded seals, hang out along New Jersey's shorelines in winter. They travel from as far away as the Arctic, following food like herring, mackerel, squid and winter flounder. Foraging for food is hard work, and even with their waterproof fur and . . .
2015 conservation highlights: best and worst
12/22/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 52
'Tis the season to look back on the past year and find out who's been naughty and nice. So let's make a list and check it twice to see how New Jersey's environment fared in 2015. First, the "nice." At the top are the many partnerships that resulted in preserved open space and farmland all over the Garden State. Thousands of acres were saved in 2015 when federal, state, county and municipal agencies worked together with nonprofits and . . .
Don't commercialize Liberty State Park
12/18/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 51
Liberty State Park is unique in the state park system: a huge "green oasis" amid the offices and industry of the urban Hudson River waterfront, with sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Well-loved public parks like Liberty are the mark of a civilized society and add enormous economic and environmental values to our communities. But right now, a debate is raging over a proposal by the New Jersey Department of . . .
ReThink New Jersey's energy future
12/11/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 50
New heat records. Rising sea levels. Ocean acidification. There has been lots of news coming out of the climate summit in Paris these past two weeks. And lots of good news, too, when it comes to transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy sources like solar and wind, and increasing energy efficiency. Many experts now believe that 100 percent clean energy is 100 percent possible in the future … if our political and business leaders make the commitment and the . . .
For Wisdom's sake, reduce and recycle plastics
12/4/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 49
With age comes wisdom. And with "Wisdom" comes age! "Wisdom" is a female Laysan albatross, who at 64 holds the record as the world's oldest known living wild bird. And she's laying eggs, too! A volunteer at the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge - located in the central Pacific Ocean, about 1,300 miles northwest of Hawaii - spotted Wisdom shortly before Thanksgiving as she preened with her mate in the world's largest nesting . . .
A new park from old golf greens
11/25/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 48
New Jerseyans love parks and open lands, as demonstrated by their steady support for more than a dozen land preservation ballot questions over the past 50 years. Nowhere is this passion more evident than in Gloucester County, where a grassroots citizens group worked tirelessly for nearly eight years to turn a defunct golf course targeted for housing into a new nature preserve. There were nonstop hurdles – money being the largest - but the citizens were persistent, . . .
Talking turkey about cranberries!
11/20/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 47
For most families, Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving without turkey. Or cranberries! Whether you like canned jellied cranberries or fresh chopped relish, tart cranberries can make or break a traditional Thanksgiving meal. It's likely that cranberries have been part of Thanksgiving meals since 1621, when Native Americans first shared their harvest feast with newly-arrived Pilgrims in Plymouth, Mass. Cranberries are one of the few fruits native to North . . .
Opt outside on Black Friday
11/13/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 46
After a day of family and feasting on Thanksgiving, what will you do the next day? You could join the ever-escalating Black Friday shopping madness: malls at midnight, crowds stampeding for bargains and plenty of traffic. Or you could join a healthier tradition and use Black Friday to burn off calories and brighten up your senses with outdoor exercise! Recreational Equipment Inc., better known as REI, the outdoor equipment and apparel giant, shocked the retail world . . .
NJ agrees on renewable energy
11/6/15 RELEASE: Nov. 6, 2015 - Volume XLVIII, No. 45
Apples or oranges? Giants or Eagles? Subs or hoagies? Can New Jerseyans agree on anything? Apparently yes! When residents are asked about energy, they're almost unanimous on one point: this state we're in needs to shift its focus to renewable energy sources like solar and wind. In a recent Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll commissioned by New Jersey Conservation Foundation, an overwhelming 93 percent of voters believe that investing in clean/renewable . . .
No town is an island
10/30/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 44
"Love thy neighbor" is not a new concept. But who qualifies as a neighbor when development proposals are reviewed? Is it folks living on the same street? In the same town? Or in a larger region that might include other states? An appeals court brought clarity to this question on Oct. 21, ruling that New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law requires towns to consider people beyond their borders as neighbors when making land use decisions. The court addressed a . . .
They won't suck your blood!
10/23/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 43
Bats are just about the most misunderstood creatures on the planet, often thought to be creepy, spooky or dangerous. "They want to suck your blood, they'll fly into your hair and they spread disease" are just a few common myths. No wonder bats are a staple of scary Halloween lore, costumes and decorations! In truth, bats are one of the most helpful of species, gobbling thousands of insects a night and reducing our need for chemical insecticides. A nursing . . .
Smart thinking: Newark's Riverfront Park
10/16/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 42
Newark - New Jersey's largest city – is getting national attention for converting an old industrial site along the Passaic River into a public park. It's a smart move that gives thousands of residents a great place to walk, relax, play and meet their neighbors. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave Newark a "National Award for Smart Growth Achievement" for turning 16 acres of previously contaminated land into Riverfront Park, providing . . .
Fabulous fall foliage hikes
10/12/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 41
You might think you can only see spectacular fall foliage in New England. Think again! Right here in this state we're in, you can see vivid reds, oranges and golds at their peak in mid to late October, with leaves changing color first on mountaintops and along water. And one of the best ways to enjoy the fall is with a hike. Here are some favorite places – all top choices of New Jersey Conservation Foundation staff. Northern New Jersey's mountains . . .
Monarch butterflies, fall's ultra-marathoners
10/2/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 40
As they alight on seaside goldenrod flowers or roost in Eastern red cedars, monarch butterflies are unmistakable, with their brilliant orange and black patterned wings. Although their flight may seem meandering and subject to the vagaries of wind, monarchs are on an instinct-driven mission right now. These "ultra-marathoners" migrate over 2,000 miles to the forests of central Mexico. They hold the distance record among migrating insects, and their journey is one of the . . .
Don't let 'flawed' pipeline process allow land condemnation
9/29/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 39
Eminent domain, or condemnation, is the power of the government to take private land for public purpose, even if the property owner objects. Needless to say, it's a highly unpopular use of government authority. Nobody likes being forced to sell against their will, even if fair compensation is paid. But did you know that private, for-profit companies can also use the power of eminent domain? This could happen in Hunterdon and Mercer counties, if a consortium of companies . . .
Coyotes, New Jersey's wild dogs
9/18/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 38
You're in bed when suddenly the nighttime quiet is broken by a clamor of howls and yips. Or maybe you spot what looks like a stray shepherd-mix dog in your yard. They may be Eastern coyotes, wild relatives of domesticated dogs. Coyotes are now regularly seen even in New Jersey's not-so-wild places. According to Andrew Burnett, a principal biologist for the state Division of Fish & Wildlife, there are an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 coyotes living in New . . .
New pump project latest threat to Barnegat Bay
9/11/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 37
Nearly three years after Superstorm Sandy ravaged the New Jersey shore, the state is in the final phase of a massive project to rebuild Route 35, the main artery on the barrier island in northern Ocean County. As part of the project – which was actually in the planning stages prior to Sandy – the New Jersey Department of Transportation constructed an elaborate drainage system to keep Route 35 high and dry during heavy rains. Nine new pumps were installed to move . . .
Your brain on nature
9/3/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 36
Want to do something nice for your brain? You could eat fish, the reputed "brain food," or try problem-solving, mend-bending exercises and puzzles. Or you could step into a quiet green space and give your mind a mini-break. A growing body of evidence suggests that one of the things you can do for your brain is visiting a park or natural environment. It's soothing and may even help you function more efficiently at work! Gregory Bratman, a graduate . . .
Crusading for clean water in an outrigger canoe
8/28/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 35
How far would you go to raise awareness of an issue? For paddler and clean water crusader Margo Pellegrino of Medford Lakes, the answer is thousands of miles! This summer, Margo spent two months in her outrigger canoe, paddling 1,600 miles from Newark to Chicago via inland waterways. The journey took her up the Hudson River, through the locks of the Erie Canal and along the shores of the Great Lakes. She launched in unseasonably chilly weather on May 20 and finished up in the . . .

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Appalachian Trail, Camden Waterfront Park, Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, Branch Brook Park, Seven Presidents Park in Long Branch, Spruce Run and Round Valley recreation areas, Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, Island Beach State Park, Paterson's Great Falls national historic site, Monmouth Battlefield, Higbee Beach Wildlife Management Area.

Putting the brakes on damage to Pine Barrens forest
8/14/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 33
At 125,000 acres, Wharton State Forest in the Pine Barrens is by far the largest state-owned forest in New Jersey. In fact, it's bigger than the land area of Essex and Hudson counties combined! This sprawling forest in the heart of the Pine Barrens is notable for its diversity of wildlife, including rare plants and threatened and endangered animals like Pine Barrens treefrogs. Since Wharton was purchased in the mid-1950s, motorized vehicles have been allowed to travel its . . .
Time to fast track renewable energy
8/7/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 32
For the first time in four years New Jersey is updating its Energy Master Plan, a blueprint for how this state we're in uses and manages electricity. And unless you live "off the grid," it affects you. This month, the state Board of Public Utilities is holding public hearings and accepting public comments for updates to the 2011 Energy Master Plan. Here's your chance to weigh in on key issues like where our energy comes from, how efficiently we're using . . .
Kick the plastic habit and help marine life!
7/31/15 Volume XLVIII, No. 31
During hot summer days at the Jersey shore, beaches are crowded with folks having fun in the sun. Unfortunately, lots of litter is left behind. All beach trash is bad, but the plastics that wash and blow into the sea are especially harmful. Plastics have become a major threat to marine life in the world's oceans and waterways. Plastic trash never completely goes away … it only breaks apart into smaller and smaller pieces. It's estimated that more than . . .

New York Global Group Congratulates China Fire & Security Group, Inc. On The Completion Of US$265 Million Merger Acquisition, Returning 227% To U.S. Investors
NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- New York Global Group, Inc., a leading Asia focused private equity and corporate advisory firm congratulates China Fire & Security Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CFSG) on its successful US$265 million merger acquisition at US$9 per share led by Bain Capital, a global private equity firm. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100915/NY65608LOGO)China based China Fire & Security Group, Inc. became a U.S. listed public company via a reverse merger in 2006 at $3.25 per share. The $9 acquisition price represents a 227% gain for China Fire & Security Group's initial U.S. investors. Recently another NASDAQ listed China based company, Harbin Electric, Inc., (NASDAQ: HRBN) was acquired for $24 per share, representing a 1200% gain for Harbin's initial U.S. investors since it became a public company through a reverse merger. James N. Baxter, Esq., Chairman of New York Global Group commented: "Like our portfolio company Harbin Electric, China Fire & Security's successful merger acquisition and its extraordinary investment returns to investors again reinforces New York Global Group's belief that well managed China based companies represent a tremendous value proposition for U.S. investors." Mr. Baxter continued: "As an increasing number of China based companies voluntarily delist from U.S. stock exchanges for more friendly listing venues in Asia, we are concerned that the U.S. capital market is losing competitiveness in attracting global companies." New York Global Group wishes China Fire & Security Group continued success in its potential re-listing on the Hong Kong or China stock exchanges at likely higher valuations in future. About China Fire & Security Group, Inc. China Fire & Security Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CFSG) is a solution provider of industrial fire protection systems in China. The Company owns a comprehensive portfolio of patents and a solid client base including major companies throughout China. About New York Global Group:

Rebel Girls: 9 Queer, Feminist, and/or Gender Theorists (Who Aren't Judith Butler)
Here are some queer, feminist, and/or gender theorists worth reading when you finally get through "Gender Trouble."
Here are some queer, feminist, and/or gender theorists worth reading when you finally get through "Gender Trouble."
These women mounted movements, won awards, told important stories, and otherwise shook the sh*t out of this planet in 2015.
We still have a long way to go when it comes to trans representation in pop culture, but the gifts in this guide are a solid step forward for trans equality.
I've had more than my fill this year of heartbreaking commentary about the movement for women's rights from people I assumed were, well, on my level. And the one thing which unites them all is that they're white women, and their comments exemplify what's wrong with White Feminism.
Collegiate libraries, non-profit organizations, and plucky websites alike have been collecting and archiving the history of the women's rights movement for decades — and that means average people like you and me can sometimes spend hours fawning over what they've gotten their grubby little hands.
"Trauma wasn't meant to happen at 9 a.m. on that August morning. Not when I was running on time, and somehow missed the long line for the day's first cup of coffee. Nothing could have warned me that the meticulous construction of my person would be unraveled while my peers watched from their own cocoons of solitude."
"But, like embracing the woman I am, I couldn't stay back from the allure of the waves. The pull of my trans-ness and queerness, of course, would always be stronger, the strongest impulses I have ever known. The sea, like them, was a place that represented a kind of forbidden love. I needed to overcome my fears or I would feel that I was holding myself back from living authentically."
While it's important to acknowledge famous names like Christine Jorgensen and Lili Elbe, it's also important to talk about other trans women who might be less well-known, but have had their own big impact on trans history.
If you're looking for a quick recap of some of Autostraddle's trans coverage from the past year, look no further.
Without further ado, here's a bunch of cool shit your favorite feminists are likely wishing for this year — or should be and just don't realize it yet.
From figuring out your own gender politics to launching massive campaigns and everything in-between, these books have your back as queer people, women, people of color, and other folks living at the intersections. The bonus? They're also all badass as f*ck.
I had statistics, maps and infographics from a dozen different sources, but without input from other trans women I wasn't comfortable touting these cities the top ten anything.
Autostraddle and A-Camp staff and family members are here to talk about what PP means to us as LGBT folks, and why we need it to be around for a very, very long time.
Most trans stories on TV are forced into narrow, misguided and often inaccurate narratives. Here's something you need to know about Channel 4's "Girls to Men," which airs tonight.
Keisha Jenkins is at least the 20th trans woman murdered in the US this year, and nearly all of them have been Black and/or Latinx.
Amber Rose's Slutwalk truly embraced and celebrated the duality of women's lives in the modern world, and it was a radically inclusive event — one with an explicit policy against all forms of oppressive language and behavior as well as an explicit intent to include, lift up, and acknowledge the unique and compounded struggles of trans women, women of color, queer women, poor women, and differently abled women.
There is a power in building communities on our own terms as marginalized people. There is a freedom in escaping, even for a moment, the weight of oppression and the burden of society's expectations for who we should be. And there is a revolution to be had in building better, more inclusive spaces for marginalized folks.
Where "Transparent" succeeds in telling a trans story that's largely focused on how cis people relate to and see trans people, "This is Me" goes one step further and shows trans people talking to other trans people about their lives and experiences.
"The photo on your cover or hanging above your article comes next. Go for broke here. Images of hairy legs in high heels or emerging from tutus are classics you can't go wrong with, like Strauss' Blue Danube waltz or light summery pastas with basil and garlic. The goal is to suggest that trans women must look like comical parodies of womanhood, like clueless men."
Talking with three of the stars of trans-created webseries Her Story about love, representation, staffing a set with trans women and so much more.

Epson EMP-DM2 projector
Easy to use, decent DVD playback, doubles as a jukebox
Video and sound quality is basic
Portable projectors are ten-a-penny at the moment - it's part of a drive by the big projector makers to make their wares a lot more home friendly. And Epson's EH-DM2 succeeds on all counts … and then some. Portable (by dint of a special carry handle) and all-in-one (a DVD player buried inside), the EH-DM2 is one of the easiest projectors we've had the pleasure of using.
The downside is that it's far from the best in terms of pure video quality. With a widescreen resolution of just 854 x 480 pixels, it's not capable of high definition. However, its built-in DVD player does play progressive scan DVDs, and those Component video inputs can take (and scale-down) a top quality 1080i HD signal - as well as being capable of showing the very best video quality from a Nintendo Wii.
Picture settings are accessible by a special "visual setup" button on the excellent remote, and although their range is limited, the basics are covered: colour saturation and temperature, sharpness, brightness, contrast and tint. There's also a progressive mode selectable for the DVD player.
Using 3LCD tech, there's no worry about any nasty "rainbow effect" common to cheaper DLP projectors, but it has its own inherent disadvantages. Chief of which is contrast, or, rather, lack of, with a 1800:1 contrast ratio. Though its 1800 ANSI Lumens allows it to be used - quite effectively, during our tests - in daylight, there's a distinct lack of detail in gloomy images. That's truer still when the lights are off, and neither is the finished image impressively detailed. It's also possible to see the 3LCD panel's grid on the screen or wall.
So why do we like the EH-DM2 so much? Crucially, none of the above criticisms detract too much from the experience, and there's enough punch to pictures to please anyone after a casual projector for movies and games.
Aside from its daylight operation (which we won't overstate - it's best to close the curtains, at least) and bold colours, the best thing about the EH-DM2 is that it only requires one cable.
Truly plug'n'play for movies (including DiVX files stored on a DVD or CD), there's no need for any messy cables, largely because it's got two speakers that deliver acceptable sound quality. Its surround sound mode isn't much cop unless you put your head directly behind the EH-DM2 (not advised), but casual users will find it OK. Things get even better, because the EH-DM2 automatically plays MP3 and WMA files stored on a USB memory stick.
Curiously its USB slot shares billing with the DVD player on the input selector menu, and only works when a DVD is ejected. It only wakes up when a USB stick is physically inserted into the unit's rear slot - if it's already in situ, nothing happens. Done in the correct order, the projector automatically begins to play any MP3 or WMA files. Presumably that's because it would be impossible to select individual tracks with the lamp shutter closed, though if you continue projecting it does give you a rudimentary list of (and nonsense filenames) what's on the USB stick. Automatic JPEG slideshows are better, with a thumbnail list of images displayed.
Its sound is only suitable for a small room and it's vital to select the appropriate mode - classical, rock, jazz or the intriguingly named "digital" - though, oddly, all four modes come with wildly varying volumes. If you've a "no compromises" approach to sound, consider using the headphones jack - or route all audio to a home cinema using the coaxial audio output.
Keep pictures to less than 100-inches, which is possible to do from just a couple of metres away, and you'll find the EH-DM2 a versatile and impressive performer if you're after something that can be whipped out for a quick movie session without that annoying 10-minute scrabble for cables.

So Cool But Very Effective,
This review is from: Braun Satin Hair 7 HD730 Iontec Dryer (Personal Care)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
For years I have been using hair dryers and without exception overheating has always been a problem. Even When I have spent lots on a hairdryer I have invariably been disappointed with the results. Whereas the Braun Satin Hair 7 HD730 Iontec Dryer has been a revelation. It never overheats and yet I can style my hair just as I want. My sister, a hairdresser by trade, who always does my hair says that my hair far less damaged recently. So if you want the hairdryer of your dreams then you cannot go very far wrong with this Braun Satin Hair 7 HD730 Iontec Dryer.

Tuesday, 21 January 2014
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be the main witness in his suit against Papa Gomo over the latter's alleged posting of defamatory words and images implicating him (Anwar) with another man.
Anwar's lawyer Latheefa Koya said Anwar would be called to testify in the civil dispute set to be heard for two days from next Monday.
"We may subpoena other witnesses for identification purposes," she said after the parties met High Court Judicial Commissioner Rosilah Yop in chambers yesterday.
In his suit filed on March 21 last year, Anwar said Papa Gomo, whose real name is Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, 30, had implied that he engaged in indecent acts with a man.
(Another High Court had ruled in September that Wan Muhammad Azri is blogger Papa Gomo and ordered him to pay a businessman RM500,000 in damages in a defamation suit.)
Latheefa said that the parties have exchanged documents including on witness statements for the hearing proper.
She said Wan Muhammad Azri has
been listed as the sole witness for the defendant's case.
In his statement of claim, Anwar said the blogger had posted four defamatory statements in his blog between March 16 and March 20.
The Permatang Pauh MP further said the blogger had connected his blog to a weblink containing a series of images, which had caused him embarrassment and damage to his character, dignity and reputation.
Anwar is seeking general, aggravated and exemplary damages and an injunction to stop Papa Gomo from posting similar defamatory words against him in any manner.
In his statement of defence filed on May 20, Wan Muhammad Azri said he had never published any word, image, video or had caused for the creation of any weblink which was slanderous to Anwar.
Alternatively, the blogger said any individual who has written or posted the statement or images had done so due to public interest.
Wan Muhammad Azri said that if he was the said person to have published the words and images, it was due to qualified privilege, fair comment and justification.

Oil at Kings & Humboldt
Printer-friendly version
At approximately 12:30pm today a resident called the Public Works Dept. to report oil in the roadway at Humboldt & Kings. Crews were on-site immediately to close the road to vehicles. Public Works then cleaned up the oil over the course of the next 2-3 hours, with assistance from a South San Francisco street sweeper to remove all the oil-absorbing material. Caution signs will be up throughout the weekend to alert driving to drive carefully through Kings & Humboldt intersection. Thank you for your cooperation!
PG&E Work on S. Bayshore Blvd.
Printer-friendly version
PG&E is continuing with the work on sections of their underground natural gas pipeline. This time, they will be working on Bayshore, south of San Bruno Ave. They're expecting the work to start on Monday, November 9th and go through the end of December. If you live in the area, you most likely received this letter from PG&E and will be receiving a recorded call over the weekend informing you about this work.
To minimize traffic impacts, crews will work Sunday through Thursday in the evening and early morning hours between 7pm until 5am. PG&E will clearly mark all work areas, and traffic flaggers will help to direct traffic. If you can, please avoid taking the Cow Palace/Bayshore Blvd. exit from northbound 101 after 7pm and instead exit Sierra Point Parkway.
For any questions or concerns about this project, we encourage you to contact local PG&E representative Francisco Ybarra at 650-730-7057 or send an email to email@example.com. To learn more about PG&E's projects, visit pge.com/seeourprogress.

UPDATE: November 3, 2015, 1:12pm - Zipcar was looking for at least a 35% utilization month over month during the pilot to keep the vehicles in town. Unfortunately, we never got to that level. Due to the low usage, they decided to discontinue the pilot program.
* * * * * *
Have you noticed two white cars in the Park & Ride Lot? Those are the new Zipcars, a car-sharing service . The Open Space and Ecology Committee recommended the service to the Council, which they approved in November of 2013.
As an environmentally friendly transportation option, Zipcar will help to reduce Brisbane's carbon footprint. National studies have shown that average vehicle miles traveled per driver is reduced by 40% when car owners switch to car sharing. Take advantage of these cars located right in central Brisbane by signing up at www.zipcar.com today!

This important gas safety work involves reviewing structures, trees and brush located near the gas pipeline that could block emergency access for first responders or damage the pipeline. For any tree or structure that needs to be replaced for safety reasons, PG&E will work with the property owner to develop a plan that protects public safety while preserving the character and natural beauty of the community.
For more information on the planned gas safety work in Brisbane, please contact Emily Sloan, PG&E's local customer outreach specialist, at 1-650-737-2001 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Additional information on the Community Pipeline Safety Initiative, as well as other PG&E gas safety efforts, can also be found at pge.com/GasSafety.

"It must be frankly admitted that the virgin martyr St. Febronia is in all probability a purely fictious personage, but she is venerated by all the churches of the East, including that of Ethiopia, and in the West by such towns as Trani in Apulia and Patti in Sicily." "She is supposed to have suffered at Nisibis in Mesopotamia, somewhere about the year 304, in the persecution under Diocletian. No genuine records of her life and passion are available but the legend attributed to her survives in the form of an attractive romance purporting to have been written by Thomais, a nun of her convent who is said to have witnessed the events she describes."

Russia: LGBT teachers forced out of schools because of their sexuality
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
It's legal to sack workers for being gay in 29 American states.
Pink News reported on an American gay teacher being sacked only last month.
What shall we boycott?
Incredibly sad for the teachers, the pupils, their communities and Russia.
Russia shows how insecure it is by refusing to move forward and educate it's people. Relies on bully tactics. So sad. As the world moves forward and becomes more inclusive Russia does the opposite.
Time to get Russia voted out of all responsible organisations including the UN, G7, G20 etc.
I agree, but no political leader or government are going to support that unless of course Russia started its own 'final solution', systematic annihilation of gay people. Perish the thought. What disappoints me are the ECHR and European Council, their silence and inaction for starters.
"All it takes for evil men to get away with evil is for good men to stand back and say nothing"
He lets the people come to their final solution with his signals, and as we can see, they are happy to do the dirty work for him.
Nazi tactics, but pass off the "final solution" onto the people and absolve all responsibility perhaps
Drops in the ocean
Yet another Nazi tactic used against the Jews – disenfrachisment and marginalisation. And, exactly as happened with pre-WWII Germany, the world stood back and allowed it to happen. We ignore the current wave of anti-gay action by Putin and his vile dictatorship at our peril ….
You took the words right out of mouth
This is of course sad.
But can someone remind us as to the situation in Ireland?
Have things changed there – or is it still legal for a catholic school to sack a gay teacher, without recourse?
(Not that it makes the russian thing okay… but I would hope Ireland would be more easily remedied!)
It also happens in catholic schools too don't forget. The minute the school authorities find out a teacher is gay and living with a partner, they sack them and the victims often don't even divulge their orientation to anyone but are forced to when confronted.
I know there are some who would say, why would any gay teacher want to work in such a school? That's missing the point if said teacher hasn't revealed to his or her colleagues their sexual orientation. That's why I'm against public funding of faith schools, at least in the UK. Let their respective dioceses cough up as well as the parents.
I thought this sort of thing only happened in America.
Pink News reported on one just a few weeks ago.
It's perfectly legal to sack someone just cause they're gay in 29 American states.
We ignore this at our peril.
Safe countries such as the UK, Canada, the Netherlands, and Scandinavian countries need to start allowing mass immigration of Russian LGBT's.
And American LGBTs.
Russia is really amazing! Must set the example for the world!!!!
This is incredibly sad that Russia has laws like this. These people are teachers they educate children how to read and write, add up and subtract. I am all for LGBT staff in schools. But these teachers were teaching they were not flaunting the sexuality of themselves into the faces of the kids they teach.
Let's remember that Russians use the same word for homosexual and pedophile and apparently don't quite have the knowledge to differentiate between the two; quite frankly I'm surprised we haven't heard about teachers being fired sooner
