Many people now prefer to stock a home gym with fitness equipment as there is hardly sufficient time to go to the commercial gym for exercise. While the commercial gyms have a huge advantage as most equipment are readily available and there is always a trainer on site to help with training, steadily stocking the home gym may also reap some benefits with time. Choosing on exercise equipment that need little space while offering a wide range of exercises like the Powerline BSG10X can be of importance as they are easy to assemble as well. The product is also ideal for beginners or intermediate users.
It has a compact design that makes it space saving, easy to assemble and nice to look at. On purchase, it comes almost 90% assembled, giving a buyer an easy time. The steel cables and high-impact resistant pulleys come from the factory already strung. In case one disassembles it when taking it upstairs, the assembly process takes a very short time since the whole process comes down to placements of only nine bolts. The body is light grey with a powder coat finish and chrome. The seat, backrest and footrest, all have got black foam padding to offer comfort during workouts. The product has a nice look as well as feel, offering a user good posture during training.
The equipment has a durable frame with multiple seat adjustments, making it ideal for users of all sizes. It has formidable features that allow it to benefit every muscle group with more than 40 exercises. It's tough and durable fiberglass reinforced nylon unit can benefit an average exercise enthusiast for many years. Since it can be assembled fast, it is ideal for a fitness trainee with limited time for exercise. Then again it saves on space, is light and can be moved by just two people. It is suitable for a home gym by all means – http://fitnessexercisereviews.com/powerline-bsg10x-home-gym-review/.
When fully assembled, its dimensions are 42 by 80 by 70 inches. It weighs 160 pounds, has adjustable seat that allows smooth and quick adjustments for proper body positioning. Included are low row bar with a 48 inch lat bar and abdominal crunch harness. It is a sleek good looking design with high quality parts. For people who care about warranty, it comes with a ten year warranty, giving the impression that its parts are properly made. It is stable equipment during normal use. However, when a user may exert more pressure, some gym flooring needs to be put under it to improve stability. It is also reasonably priced.
It does not lack its cons of course. Buyers who reside on the ground floors do not have to contend with the weight issue. On the other hand, those who live upstairs may need to disassemble it to get up because getting it up the stairs assembled is not easy. One is also not able to add to the weight stack, especially for advanced users. This therefore means advanced trainees may need something better, and this calls for reading more of the fitness product reviews as new or improved items keep coming up each day.

Stainless Steel Compost Bucket
BEST kitchen product I've found in ages!
Have tile or hard-surface floors? You'll get tired of breaking the lids on the little ceramic ones, as I did. Although a little pricey, I expect to have this sturdy item FOREVER! The only way these work is if you can leave it on your counter all the time, easily accessable. The stainless steel design makes it an attractive & easy-to-use addition on my countertop. I love it so much, it is a favorite gift to give to friends who have everything.
I do not understand some of the other review comments, EX: Rust??? On stainless steel??? Try washing with soap & warm water, it sounds like there is a dried residue that looks like rust. The filters are washable, & replaceable. (If you wash them, they only need to be replaced once every blue moon!) There is no downside to this product; it is the best one I have ever seen, and it makes composting and the removal of smelly items in the kitchen, an absolute pleasure.
November 16, 2011
Awesome product! I got it as a gift for christmas and I love it! There is absolutely no smell from it because of the nice filter on the lid and it holds about a weeks worth of compost for a family of 5! Would recommend it to anyone!
February 3, 2011
Have use this for over 7 years
Bought the same item at another store years ago and paid $40 for it. Keep it on the kitchen counter where is it handy. Like the filters at World Market, the same thing at a kitchen store costs more than twice the price.
I bought one of these for a friend because I like it so much.
June 2, 2010
Highly recommend this product
I have owned this compost bin for quite awhile now and we LOVE it. The size is perfect...we use it daily but it doesn't fill up too fast. Not sure about the comments on the filter. My filter is still clean. We haven't had an odor problem yet and i bought mine many months ago. Its still good as new.
April 21, 2010
Excellent way to compost
We've had one of these for 10 years and love it. It's indestructible, functional and fairly easy to clean. The double interior filters prevent any smells from escaping into the kitchen, and can be washed. It's dishwasher safe, yet lightweight enough to carry to your outside compost bin.
April 15, 2010
Well-built, good capacity, easy care
Well-built bin that will long outlast plastic buckets. Easy to clean, no stains or odor build-up. We're a vegetarian family of four so we fill it up every other day, but it's a good size to live on the counter for easy access. Do check the handle screws as they tend to loosen over time.
October 8, 2011
Love it!
I bought this about a month ago and I love it. I looked at the ceramic version first but the handle on that one seemed flimsy (it just fell off while I was looking at it). This one is much sturdier in my opinion. It's great because the vegetables that we were throwing in the trash (that made the whole kitchen smell bad) we now save for garden and the filter keeps the smell contained. It fits perfectly on my counter. My only gripe is that the lid is so tight you need a muscle man to open it. My husband and I were scared the contents would fling out since we had to pull so hard. The more I use though the easier it's getting or maybe I'm just becoming stronger from the workout!

Oh those are wonderful count me in.
An I liked the Facebook page. (I don't really like Facebook but liked their page on it if that counts hehe)
Oh my gosh, these are so awesome! You know what I really love? The matching scrapbooking papers. If I were to make a quilt for someone using this fabric, I could take pictures of the quilting process and make a lovely scrap page as a pretty historical record! And I could even make a matching gift card to the receiver of the quilt. How awesome!
ReplyDeleteAs my teenage daughter would say, "OMG, what lovely designs". And I mean not only for the fabric, because that's my forte but also the paper. Just lovely ! I can already imagine myself making something wonderful with both, the fabric as well as the paper collection ! Thanks for posting the pictures.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Featured Item
Jacqueline Kennedy Collection 30" Triple Pearl Necklace
This strand of pearls was inherited in 1957 by Jacqueline Kennedy from her mother, who bought it in the early 1920s. Designed by Coco Chanel, it had a very special clasp. Coco loved the clasp so much that she decided to stop using it on commercial jewelry in the late 1920s and only used it on her personal pieces for the rest of her life. The clasp became known as "Coco's Rose".
When Chanel died in 1971 she had no heirs, and most of her personal jewelry collection was donated to the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Jackie's original strand of pearls contains what is thought to be the last surviving public example of the Coco's Rose clasp.
Original: Hand painted 8mm Czech glass pearls, base metal clasp.
Replica: Hand painted 8mm Czech glass pearls, rhodium plating.
Replica by Camrose & Kross.

Because you have invested in (or are thinking about investing in) one of the most technically advanced pieces of apparel or equipment you'll ever own and we want to make sure you have the information you need to protect and care for your purchase. Proper care assures you will optimize the performance of your Marmot product and maximize its service-life.
Tent Care
- If necessary, use a sponge and warm water to clean your tent. If the entire tent requires cleaning, wash in a large bathtub of cold water, but do not soak the tent for an extended period of time.
- Do not use hot water, bleach, dishwashing soap or detergent to wash the tent. If needed, a mild, non-detergent based soap can be used to clean the tent.
- Do not use a washing machine or dryer to clean your tent. This can remove the waterproof coating.
- To dry the tent, either pitch it in the shade, or hang it on a line to dry. Be sure the tent is completely dry before storing it.

Guide To Clean-Up And Managing Memory On Your iDevice
First, a DISCLAIMER: Use these tips at your own risk. I am doing the following things every once in a while and never bricked the iOS on my iDevice, but you need to follow my steps accurately to be successful. That means: do NOT delete things which look like they could be deleted when playing around with iExplorer.
I am also talking mainly about the iPhone, tho the tips can apply to iPods and iPads, too. But remember that I don't know anything about the system structure on these devices 'cause I don't own them. O.k., due to insane popular demand from another thread ( ): hello and welcome to my Clean-Up Guide for your iDevice! Because my first iDevice was a 3GS with only 16GB of memory, it was always full and I had to learn how to squeeze even the tiniest bit of memory out of my device. I collected experience as well as tips over the last 2 years and today, it's easy for me to keep my system nice and tidy. I am not an expert in Apple's technical stuff, all these tips are based on the things I found and learned before. When I am explaining some things, it's based on my own perception, experience and theories - meaning that some assumptions might not be entirely true, but should work nonetheless. So, if you got used to all the stuff I wrote, you'll be able to clean up your iDevice in under 30 minutes. Doing this once a month or once every two month is enough - except you need to free up some space immediately for other usage. And since every user of an iDevice is different, one might be collecting just some few hundred MB while others collect gigabytes of trash. I can't tell or promise how much space you'll get free again, because it always depends on your personal usage. Ready? Ok, here we go: All iDevices have the problem that they come with a specific memory that unfortunately can't be extended by memory cards. Today, 32 GB - or even 64 GB of space can be considered to be small. The iOS, on the other hand (and in the same way as Windows does) is a fanatical data (trash) collector. I always suspected that the iOS seems to be subject to Alzheimers disease, because it loves to put everything unneccessary somewhere and forgets about it after that. So, if you're really harcore, reset your device to factory settings after a backup and install only the things you REALLY REALLY need or play. It seems hard, I know... humans are hunters and collectors. And who really wants to sit down, restore that backup and sort for hours after the reset? Go through all settings again? Maybe lose some savegames? I assume: no-one. 1.: Back up your iDevice Before doing anything else, create a new and complete iCloud or PC/Mac backup. In case something goes wrong, you'll be able to restore everything easily. 2.: Help! The "Others" invaded my iDevice! Now that's the most important part: checking the "Other" files. Connect your iDevice to iTunes via PC or Mac and look how huge the "Other" section is. This is mostly the cause for loss of space and can take up from a few 100MB up to 8-9 GB! Maybe even more but that's the highest amount I've ever seen. The "Other" files are junk files, like temp data, install packages that accidentally doesn't got deleted, messages and much more stuff, like bad meta data in your music library. Some of the "Other" stuff will also be the iOS itself, the saved preferences and who-knows-what-else. It can be everything. That's the reason why you can never get rid of the complete "Other" files. The "Other" files should always be around 800MB - 1.5GB, maybe a few MB more or less. If "Others" is larger than 1.5 GB, there's a high chance that there is some trash in it. But this also depends on how much own temporary stuff you have stored, like mails and such. With IExplorer, there are some methods to handle that sh!t. iExplorer is a free, powerful tool which you can get somewhere here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=iExplorer Just watch out that you don't install all advertising trash that comes with it. When installed, click on the "File Explorer" tab and your root system opens. Now click on ApplictionArchives. If you're now seeing data packages in the right window: these are trash. There are rare cases that there might be also yet unfinished downloads, don't delete these files if you want to finish the download at another point. Mark the files you want to delete and hammer on the delete key. Start iTunes now and check the "Others" file size. If there's still stuff over 1.5 GB, things get a bit more complicated, because there might be bad music meta data. Here are solutions I found on the net and successfully tried myself. Here is a step-by-step guide with additional explanations: - turn of sync music in iTunes - When you noticed that "other files" have taken up a lot of storage space on the iPhone, un-tick the "sync music" alternative in iTunes before un-connecting your iPhone. - open iExplorer - Make sure your iPhone is connected with the USB when you open iExplorer. - go into iTunes Control folder and then the Music folder - In iExplorers file browser go to the iTunes Control Folder and then the subfolder called Music. Under the Music folder you will likely see a lot of subfolders starting with "f". - delete/remove all subfolders in Music - Delete all the subfolders under the Music folder. They include the files that are hogging your iPhone memory under "other files". - open iTunes and sync your iPhone - With "music sync" still turned off in iTunes, sync your iPhone. This will remove all music files from your iPhone, but keep all other content. Don't worry about this though, as in the next steps you will sync the music back onto your iPhone. - unplug iPhone and reboot it - Once the iPhone has finished syncing, unplug it and perform a reboot. The reboot is done by holding down the "power down" button at the top right at the same times as holding down the control button. Hold both of them until the iPhone has switched off and the Apple logo appears on the screen before releasing both buttons. This action will reboot your iPhone. - reconnect your iPhone to iTunes and recheck "sync music" - This will put your music back onto the iPhone. Once the sync is complete your iPhone should be all sorted again. If you still see "other files" taking up too much memory on your iPhone you have likely done something wrong or left out subfolders in step 4. Maybe reboot it one more time. 3.: Backup yer stuff! Save your videos or pics to your PC every two weeks and delete them from your device. Can free several hundreds of MB or even a few GB. 4.: "The Sneaky Collectors" Apps like "Appshopper", "Tweetbot", Twitter", "Facebook", "Youtube", "Skype", "IMO", "WhatsApp", "Amazon", "Steam" and much others are data collectors. My "Appshopper has at the moment 75.5MB of collected trash - but the App itself is only 6.2MB large. It's almost scandalous how they secretly steal away your precious space. So, the rest is junk. You can check the original apps size and the amount of data they've collected under "General" -> "Usage", then click on "show all apps" and tap an app to see the original size and how much "documents and data" they stored. Uninstall apps like Appshopper, Twitter and others and re-install to get rid of the collected junk. DON'T TRY THAT with games, video players, graphic programs and music programs, cause this stuff are your savegames, pictures, vids, music, graphics or other saved stuff! Here's an example how it looks like: 5.: Cookies and histories Clear cookies and cache of your browser under the Safari tab. Can free quite some space. 6.: Getting rid of old memories Clean up old mails and SMS stuff or back it up to PC and delete. Especially mails with attachments. 7.: The Artificial Mind Make a list for games and apps in your note app. If you have a game not played for at least 1 month, write the name into it and delete the app - it's unlikely that you'll ever play it again with the huge amount of releases every month. But this way you can keep track and always check which games aren't finished yet. All right, after doing all these steps, always switch your device off and leave it off for 5 minutes. That should kill the memory-resident stuff and your device can clean up itself a bit after in the following boot process. "Device-DeConfusing", so to speak. My theory. If everything went nice, you should now have a tidy, cleaned up iDevice with more space and a less fractured system. Thanks for reading. If you have any questions, don't hestitate and feel free to ask. I'll try to help as good as I can. Oh, and I am really interested in your "before/after" experiences. Feel free to post the amount of free space before and after the clean-up. Last edited by Vovin; 01-02-2013 at 05:40 AM.. |
[Placeholder, just in case]
Awesome thread and a really useful OP.
I'm aware of most of this being a seasoned user but its some great info for newcomers. The most I ever got rid of out of other was about 7GB after months of not syncing with iTunes. iCloud has justified me going from a 32GB 4S to a 16GB 5. Instead of having 50+ games on my device at any one time I now mangage with about 15 that i actually play. I realised quite a while ago that I was more a collector and hoarder of games than a player so I took steps to rectify this. How many titles do you really need with you now we have saves in the cloud, as long as your wifi is reliable. I can change my load-out of games easily to try new titles and I don't spend minutes of every day staring at multiple screens of game icons unable to make a decision about what to play anymore ! |
Granted i should cut down on the games installed but it sounds crazy, often i go to delete some and its one of those 'i cant delete that, i may play it soon' type thoughts ! The good news is i only horde on my ipod touch, my house is clean and its not like i've got boxes full of cereal packets or newspapers from the 90's etc keeping them as i dont want to throw them away ! |
Then #7 of the OP should apply to you. Do it, really, you won't regret it. It's better than thinking a whole day about what to play or sorting yer device. There's no difference between having 50, 100 or 150 games on your device anyway... you can't decide what to play and you won't play the most stuff. These apps just stay and get nuked when something more precious looking comes along. So, put everything except 10 - 20 games in the list - and you'll see that you're playing more often and the decision is much easier for ya. It's like work: put 50 things in front of you on the table and you'll have difficulties to decide what to do first. Put 1-2 things in front if you and new stuff when you finished the old and you get things done. I think it's time to invent a new word for the iOS hoarders and collectors: the iMessy. Last edited by Vovin; 01-02-2013 at 07:41 AM.. |
Thanks so much for this. I've been trying hard to stick to #7 for awhile now and my deleted list is pretty outrageous. I definitely need to stop hoarding games!
You're welcome! |
Thank you for taking the time to write up this excellent document. Was very interesting and informative.
Nice to hear, thanks very much! |
My name is Nellie and I'm an App Hoarder. Is there a 12 step program for people like me?
See, when Apps go on sale for .99, I have to buy them for later right. But seriously, this is a great thread, one I will bookmark. May I add another tip? I stopped using the Mail program and only use Webmail for my programs on the iPad and iPhone. This keeps all my email from downloading onto the devices and saves room. I created icons from the URLs and they now reside on my main screen. |

It Pays to Be a Relative
Plants communicate. They do.
Ecologist Richard Karban, a professor in the UC Davis Department of Entomology, points out that one of the simplest forms of communication involves shade.
When a plant is shaded, it grows away from the plant or other object that's shading it.
Today he published research in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences that is truly amazing readers. It involves kinship, communication and defenses.
Basically, if you're a sagebrush and your nearby kin is being eaten by a grasshopper, deer, jackrabbit, caterpillar or other predator, it's good to be closely related. Through volatile (chemical) cues, your kin will inform you of the danger so you can adjust your defenses.
If you're not closely related, communication won't be as effective.
Kin have distinct advantages when it comes to plant communication, just as "the ability of many animals to recognize kin has allowed them to evolve diverse cooperative behaviors," Karban says. For example, fire ants can recognize kin. "Ants will destroy queens that are not relatives but protect those who are."
That ability is less well studied for plants--until now.
"When sagebrush plants are damaged by their herbivores, they emit volatiles that cause their neighbors to adjust their defenses," Karban said. "These adjustments reduce rates of damage and increase growth and survival of the neighbors."
"When sagebrush plants are damaged by their herbivores, they emit volatiles that cause their neighbors to adjust their defenses," Karban said. "These adjustments reduce rates of damage and increase growth and survival of the neighbors."
"Why would plants emit these volatiles which become public information?" he asked. "Our results indicate that the volatile cues are not completely public, that related individuals responded more effectively to the volatiles than did strangers. This bias makes it less likely that emitters will aid strangers and more likely that receivers will respond to relatives."
The research, "Kin Recognition Affects Plant Communication and Defense," is co-authored by two scientists from Japan and two from UC Davis: Kaori Shiojiri of the Hakubi Center for Advanced Research, Kyoto University, and Satomi Ishizaki of the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University; and William Wetzel of the UC Davis Center for Population Biology, and Richard Evans of the UC Davis Department of Plant Science.
To simulate predator damage, the researchers "wounded" the plants by clipping them and then studied the responses to the volatile cues. They found that the plants that received cues from experimentally clipped close relatives experienced less leaf damage over the growing season that those that received cues from clipped neighbors that were more distantly related.
"More effective defense adds to a growing list of favorable consequences of kin recognition for plants," they wrote.
The researchers performed their field work on sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) at Taylor Meadow, UC Sagehen Creek Field Station, near Truckee. They conducted four field experiments over three years "that compared the proportion of leaves that were damaged by herbivores over the growing season when plants were provided with volatile cues clipped from a close relative versus cues from a distant relative," the scientists wrote.
For closely related kin, they snipped stem cuttings (clones), potted them, and then returned the pots to the field. They determined relatedness "by using microsatellites that varied among individual sagebrush clones."
The result: "Plants responded more effectively to volatile cues from close relatives than from distant relatives in all four experiments and communication reduced levels of leaf damage experienced over the three growing seasons," they wrote. "This result was unlikely to be caused by volatiles repelling or poisoning insect herbivores."
Karban, who has studied plant communication among the sagebrush at the site since 1999, likened the plant communication to neighbors "eavesdropping." They "hear" the volatile cues of their neighbors as predators damage them.
Eavesdropping. Kinship. Plant communication. Plant defenses.
Fascinating stuff.

Feeding Frenzy on Bodega Head
If you're planning to hike the hills around Bodega Head in Sonoma County, watch out for the bears.
The woolly bear caterpillars, that is.
Last Sunday, with the temperature hovering around 70 degrees, the woolly bears were everywhere. They were munching on the gray-green leaves of Lupinus arboreus (yellow bush lupine), not yet blooming. We also spotted them on yellow mustard and wild radish, both members of the Brassicaceae family and both abloom.
If you look closely at these little caterpillars, they seem to be having a bad hair day. They look as if they just encountered a jolt of static electricity.
They're also known as the larvae of Ranchman's Tiger Moth (Platyprepia virginalis). Once they become moths, they do not resemble woolly bears any more.
Rick Karban, professor of entomology at UC Davis, has published a number of research papers on these herbivores.
"Platyprepia virginalis caterpillars are dietary generalists and feed on multiple host species within a single day," he wrote recently in Ecological Entomology. "We conducted field experiments to evaluate their performance on diets consisting of only their primary food, Lupinus arboreus, or diets consisting of L. arboreus plus other acceptable host species."
"We found that relative growth rates and rates of survival were higher when they fed on mixed diets compared to lupine only."
That feeding behavior we saw, too. A lupine lunch, with a touch of mustard and radish.

Evolutionary Ecology of Plant Defenses
It will be like "old-home week" when Anurag Agrawal returns to the University of California, Davis, tomorrow (Jan. 18) to deliver a seminar on "Evolutionary Ecology of Plant Defenses."
Agrawal, who received his doctorate at UC Davis under major professor Rick Karban, UC Davis Department of Entomology, and is now a professor of ecology at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., will give the presentation from 12:10 to 1 p.m., in 122 Briggs. Host is Andrew Merwin of the Michael Parrella lab.
"In order to address coevolutionary interactions between milkweeds and their root-feeding four-eyed beetles, I will present data on reciprocity, fitness tradeoffs, specialization and the genetics of adaptation," Agrawal said. "In addition to wonderful natural history, this work sheds light on long-standing theory about how antagonistic interactions proceed in ecological and evolutionary time."
Agrawal does research on plant-insect interactions, including aspects of herbivory, community ecology, phenotypic plasticity, chemical ecology and coevolution.
His research projects have included work on local biodiversity, ecology of invasive plants, the biology of Monarch butterflies, and the evolution of plant-defense strategies.
Agrawal, a native of Allentown, Penn., completed his undergraduate work in biology and his master's degree in conservation biology at the University of Pennsylvania, where he became intrigued with plant-animal interactions.
He then headed out to California in 1994 to study with Karban, a noted expert on plant-animal interactions.
While at UC Davis, Agrawal received the 1999 Young Investigator Award, sponsored by the American Society of Naturalists. He went on to win the National Science Foundation's 2004 Early Career Award and the Ecological Society of America's 2006 George Mercer Award.
After receiving his doctorate from UC Davis, Agrawal accepted a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Amsterdam before becoming an assistant professor of botany at the University of Toronto. He joined the Cornell faculty in 2004.
Among his honors: he won the sixth David Starr Jordan Prize for his innovative research involving plant-animal interactions. The international award, given approximately every three years, comes with a $20,000 prize and a commemorative medal.
In singling him out for the honor, the awards committee described Agrawal as "one of the foremost authorizes on the community and evolutionary ecology of species interactions."
And tomorrow, Anurag Agrawal will be back on his "home turf" to talk about those interactions.
Anurag Agrawal, professor of evolution and ecology at Cornell, returns to the UC Davis campus Jan. 18 to give a seminar.
A Woolly Bear of a Caterpillar
If you enjoy climbing the cliffs of Bodega Head on the Sonoma coast, keep your eyes out for bears--woolly bear caterpillars, that is.
The so-called "woolly bear caterpillar" is reddish, black and woolly and has a voracious appetite much like that of Joey Chestnut. It is the Ranchman's Tiger Moth caterpillar, Platyprepia virginalis.
Richard "Rick" Karban, professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, studies this critter. "It has a taste for most alkaloid containing plants, like fiddleneck, although it doesn't appear to sequester the alkaloids," he told us. "The alkaloids may help caterpillars survive their parasitoids, however."
We saw about five of the woolly bear caterpillars on a public trail near the Bodega Marine Reserve above the Bodega Marine Laboratory on April 17.
The reserve, which surrounds the Bodega Marine Laboratory, is a unit of the University of California Natural Reserve System and is administered by UC Davis.
Several woolly bear caterpillars were munching on fiddleneck. Another rolled around near a patch of California poppies and we couldn't tell what its menu included. It looked good, though!
You can read Karban's research on "Diet Mixing Enhances the Performance of a Generalist Caterpillar, Platyprepia virginalis," published last February in the Ecological Entomology journal.

Prized Award
Evolutionary ecologist Anurag Agrawal (right), who received his doctorate in population biology from the University of California, Davis in 1999 under major professor Richard "Rick" Karban, has just received the sixth David Starr Jordan Prize for his innovative research inolving plant-animal interactions.
The international award, given approximately every three years, comes with a $20,000 prize and a commemorative medal.
Agrawal, now an associate professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, also serves as the associate director for the Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future and director of the Cornell Chemical Ecology Group.
Does the name "David Starr Jordan" ring a bell? It should. He was a leading American biologist (1851-1931) who was educated at Cornell; taught zoology at Indiana; and served as president of both Indiana and Stanford universities.
The three universities established the joint endowment in 1986 and have awarded the prize since 1987. "The intent of the David Starr Jordan Prize is to recognize scientists who are making research contributions likely to redirect the principal foci of their fields," the awards committee said.
The coveted award is given to a young scientist, age 40 or under, who is making novel innovative contributions in one of Jordan's fields of interest: evolution, ecology, population and organismal biology.
The awards committee, comprised of Cornell, Indiana and Stanford scientists, described Agrawal as "one of the foremost authorities on the community and evolutionary ecology of species interactions."
"Dr. Agrawal has made highly influential contributions, including empirical and conceptual advances in our understanding of plant defense against herbivory, impacts of genetic diversity on community processes, co evolutionary interactions between monarch butterflies and milkweeds and deciphering the success of invasive plants," the committee announced.
As the recipient of the David Starr Jordan Prize, he will lecture at the sponsoring institutions, beginning Feb. 18 at Cornell.
Born in 1972 in Allentown, Penn., Agrawal completed his undergraduate work in biology and his master's degree in conservation biology at the University of Pennsylvania, where he became intrigued with plant-animal interactions. He then headed out to California in 1994 to study with Karban, a noted expert on plant-animal interactions. Karban, now a newly elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, teaches field ecology and community ecology.
"It was an amazing time being a graduate student at UC Davis and working with Rick Karban… a great foundation and nothing but great memories!" Agrawal said.

Bandle City
this wiki
Bandle City is a city-state on the southeastern part of Valoran.
- For the race, see Yordles.
Bandle City resides in Yordle Land and is the home city of the yordle race. The vast majority of the yordle society dwells in the southeastern part of Valoran, behind the safety of the Sablestone Mountain range. Centuries before, the yordles were a nomadic race, traveling around the continent for many years. They eventually settled themselves within the Ruddynip Valley where modern day Bandle City is now located. While their society may seem like a simple rural community, the city itself holds a great deal of intrigue and mystery.
Bandle City has a very community-based government with various officials overseeing their own specific areas. The city-state's current leader is Mayor Dennison Jadefellow.
"Let 'em come by land, by sea or air! Send 'em running home when the Bandle Gunners blare!One stump high and ten stumps tall! Bandle Gunners show 'em all! Bandle Gunners, what'd you see? Surge and smoke and victory!"― Tristana
What yordles lack in stature, they make up for with their armaments and their industriousness.
- The city's weapons brigade – the Megling Commandos – are something of a legend in Bandle City. They have a history that spans centuries, and they remain the oldest yordle military unit still in service. They are renowned for their courage and bravery, as well as their deadliness and ruthlessness, earning them a reputation as the most respected and feared of all warriors from the city-state. Legends of Megling, the valiant founder of the commandos, are, to this day, whispered throughout Valoran. It was these legends that drew Tristana, the Megling Gunner, to join the yordle military as a part of the Megling Commandos.
- Within the city's intelligence team – the Scouts of the Mothership – the yordle Teemo, the Swift Scout, is regarded to be the group's top recon specialist. However, to those who know of his true exploits, it is clear that Teemo is actually something else – the most unwaveringly unrepentant assassin of Bandle City. Whilst he enjoys the typical level of community and companionship inherent to all yordles, Teemo's feelings for his people are so immoderately strong that he ofttimes ventures out to seek out the foes of his city on his own. When he finds them, and, oh, does he find them, Teemo extinguishes their lives with a rare and particularly toxic ajunta poison he gathers personally from the nearby jungles of Kumungu. It is said that by those close to him that something switches off in Teemo when he sets to work laying his snares and traps, so that fleeting thoughts of the lives he ends do not burden him.
- The aerial squadron – the Screaming Yipsnakes – utilized the Reconnaissance Operations Front-Line Copter, an air assault vehicle which has now come to replace the Light Operations Lander as the backbone of the Bandle City Expeditionary Force. Corki, the Daring Bombardier, was by far the most renowned of this highly active group. He and his squadron soared over the skies of Valoran, surveying the landscape and conducting breathtaking aerial acrobatics for the mesmerized onlookers below. In times of conflict, the squadron led daring missions which would loft them deep behind enemy lines, to both crystallize their intelligence of enemy formations and deliver needed messages through hot zones.
Relations with Demacia
Bandle City shares a relatively good relationship with the city-state of Demacia. Acting as an envoy between the two city-states is Poppy, the Iron Ambassador.
Relations with Bilgewater
Ties between Bandle City and Bilgewater have always been a little tense, mainly due to the occasional pirate assaults on yordle vessels.
Relations with Piltover
Though Piltover is a Demacian ally, it's worth noting the special connection between Bandle City and Piltover. Many of the most ingenious minds of Bandle city go to attend the University in the heart of Piltover from mechanical masterminds to tinkering exellency; the most obvious display of Yordle power in Piltover University is Heimerdinger, the Revered Inventor . Piltover has gotten the attention of many yordles and taken attention to many also such as Rumble, the Mechanized Menace and Ziggs, the Hexplosive Expert. Military weaponization for Bandle City is largely produced in Piltover; examples would be the Yipsnakes aircraft and the cities defensive outpost walls and turrets.
Relations with Ionia
Bandle City and Ionia appear to have a neutral relationship, as there is very little association between the two city-states. However, the possible exception to this neutrality is Kennen, the Heart of the Tempest.
Born from Bandle City, Kennen possessed boundless energy that found no limits and was matched only by his unnerving speed. His astonishing gifts remained unnoticed until he ran straight up the great outer wall of the Placidium in Ionia. When word of this feat reached the Kinkou Order, Kennen was quickly and quietly brought for an audience. He found that the role of the Heart of the Tempest suited him, frenetically delivering both the word and the punishments of the Kinkou across the realm. While Kennen's position in the Order prevents him from favoring one side over another, he appears to have a deep affection for Ionia, and would often cheer for the city-state while in battle.
Yordle Girl Went Missing
A little purple, yordle girl, named Lulu, went missing on one afternoon. She was last seen in the town square where some of the other yordle children said that the girl was talking to a large firefly that was stuck inside a bird house. The girl pulled it out, followed it and, suddenly, disappeared into thin air. People say that the children must have faulty vision, but with the recent effects of the Rune Wars, there's no telling if what the children say is true or perhaps something more.
The Bandle City Mothership
Above the city center sits a hulking, unfinished rocket called the Mothership. There are no records which say where it came from, though oral histories declare that it was there before the first yordles came to settle the Ruddynip Valley. The ship is a cultural icon for yordles across Runeterra and their society is unified around the concept of "getting it ready," or restoring the broken-down structure as a symbol of cooperation. Unfortunately, actual cooperation ends with several unfinished projects littering the site, and ongoing debate over what should be done next.
The Iron Ambassador to Demacia
Years ago the famous yordle blacksmith Blomgrun was commissioned to create a glorious helm for a Demacian general. Word of this charge was leaked to the Noxian High Command, and two of their best spies ambushed Blomgrun's caravan en route to Demacia. Blomgrun's daughter, who was traveling with him at the time, was able to escape with the helm. She watched helplessly as her father was slain before her eyes. Instead of fleeing home, she carried the helm to Demacia alone. When the Demacian general saw the grim determination behind the tears in her eyes, the general requested that the leadership of Bandle City make her the yordle ambassador to Demacia. The yordle leaders agreed with the request, appointing Blomgrun's daughter, Poppy, the liaison between Bandle City and Demacia.
A Cupcake from the Mothership
One day a local tinker named Beardly Kittle discovered a fossilized cupcake that had been expelled out from the Mothership. During this time witnesses claimed to see lights flashing across the ship for a few seconds. Yordle scientists continue to investigate, though they found it unlikely that the Mothership will be turning on again anytime soon. Nevertheless, the discovery has awakened unified celebration in Bandle City, with Mayor Dennison Jadefellow declaring a city-state holiday.
Poppy's Anniversary Day Ruined
The pirate Tiresias Ellington and his crew boarded a Bandle City ship headed to Demacia and sacked the vessel of its goods. Though Tristana and Teemo's special forces were able to apprehend the pirates, they could not salvage the cargo. This particular shipment was on its way to a celebration, a commemoration to Poppy's appointment to service as envoy between Demacia and the yordles. Bandle City appealed to the League to solicit reparations from Bilgewater for the loss of the goods, along with spoiling their anniversary plans. Bilgewater's stance was that they were not responsible for the actions of a few independent sailors.
Attempted Abduction of the Mothership
It was discovered that the mastermind behind the Horseshoe Heist and Balloon Burglary was none other than Veigar, the Tiny Master of Evil. He planned to use these items in a grand attempt to abduct Bandle City's Mothership. The horseshoes' shape allowed them to slip perfectly under the curved metal of the Mothership's nose cone and his enchanted balloons threatened to lift the Mothership from the ground.Veigar's plan was foiled, however, when a flock of sharp-winged thresher geese approached from the west. The flock of predatory birds passed above the Mothership and sliced though all but one of Veigar's enchanted balloons, deflating them immediately. Faced with an impending and accidental defeat, Veigar tugged the final balloon free of its horseshoe and began to rise into the sky. The League Champion Teemo, having just arrived at the Mothership, took aim and burst Veigar's last balloon with a single dart. The Tiny Master of Evil plummeted into the tree line just outside the city. Bandle City officials were unable to locate the Tiny Master of Evil following his escape from the battle, noting that it is likely he escaped through magical means.
The Mothership miraculously suffered no apparent damage from the incident. Many onlookers, however, commented that the Mothership appeared to have shifted slightly to the left.
The Lost Girl Returns
The young, purple, yordle girl, Lulu, that was reportedly missing centuries ago, miraculously reappeared, and although she did grow, she was much younger and healthier than anticipated. During her absence, she acquired some new magical talent and a new friend, Pix, possibly the large firefly that the yordles had told about.Lulu sought to reconnect to the residents of Bandle City, but her attempt had unfortunate results. She led all the children off to play hide and seek, temporarily changing them into flowers and animals to spice up the game, but their parents didn't appreciate her efforts. The yordles insisted that she leave their lands immediately and she willingly did so. She later went to the League of Legends to see if she could reconnect with the rest of Valoran through it.
The missing Link Reappears
"Time marches on for most, but not Gnar. A yordle born millennia ago, Gnar was captured and trapped in true ice, frozen - quite literally - in time. Civilizations formed and fell as the prehistoric yordle vacantly stared on, but nothing – not even true ice – could confine Gnar forever. After breaking free, he wandered Runeterra until he found himself taken in by his yordle descendants. But, as they would soon discover, there's a beast behind the boy."Media

Breguet opens a new Boutique in Singapore
After the opening of the Breguet boutique in the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai, on May 26th of this year, Nicolas G. Hayek, President and CEO of Montres Breguet SA, is delighted to announce the opening on June 12th 2010 of a new boutique in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. This ultra-modern new complex houses a spacious 115 square-metre Breguet showroom featuring a number of the brand's signature attributes. The engraved glass echoes the famous engine-turned guilloché pattern on the dials, and its royal blue colour pays tribute to the pocket-watch made for the Empress Josephine. The slender gilt casing evokes the fluting on Breguet watch cases, while the elliptical motifs on the floor and ceiling reflect the oval shape of the Reine de Naples watch, the first ever wristwatch, ordered by Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples, from A.-L. Breguet in 1810.
After Paris, Cannes, Geneva, New York, Los Angeles, London, Moscow, Vienna, Dubai, Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, and Yekaterinburg, Montres Breguet is treating its Singaporean public to a brand-new dedicated showcase.

This is a real portrait of CIA operative Robert Baer (portrayed by George Clooney in the film Syrianna) and his CIA "shooter" wife, Dayna. They describe what happens when you try to leave "The Company" and the world of rogues, mobsters, and clandestine warriors who've become your best friends and worst enemies. He was known by many inside the Agency as the best operative working the Middle East. A beautiful former Cal Berkeley student, she was an up-and-coming young Agency talent determined to make it as a spy and gun-wielding "shooter" - a femme Nikita. When they were sent on a mission together, they fell in love. This is the authentic story of that romance, of their trip deep down the rabbit hole revealing how intelligence games work, how spies operate in the field, including their personal costs. The Company We Keep is unlike any previous account of life in the CIA.
Robert Baer is the author of three New York Times bestsellers: See No Evil, Sleeping With the Devil, and The Devil We Know. He has become one of the most authoritative voices on American intelligence.

Together with my son of 4.5yrs and daughter of 2.5yrs we went to check out Wannabees and we LOVED IT! So many different options and then the special "shows" that were put on e.g. an actual "fire" where the kids could use a real fire hose and hose down the "fire", a fashion show where the kids had the opportunity to dress up and put some make-up on, appearances by Bob the B (...)

I would recommend Wannabees as an alternative to your standard indoor play centres. The facility is excellent and staff friendly. What I like about it is it requires the kids to use their imagination and do some good old fashioned play - role playing etc. There is also your traditional climbing playground but I love that there is more to it than that.
