A historic Arab pivot in the Mideast?
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at email@example.com.
I wonder if something fundamental is going on in the Middle East. That is, Iran is getting more powerful, and that scares the Arab states. So they seem to be turning away from worrying about Israel and focusing more on Iran as it moves toward becoming a nuclear power. The Bush administration actually helped strengthen Iran a lot by knocking down Iraq as the great bulwark against the expansion of Persian power westward. Also, by occupying Iraq, it effectively gave Iran tens of thousands of potential hostages, lessening Western leverage and so the West's ability to curtail Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Bottom line: Will AQ Khan and the Bush administration together inadvertently have brought Arab-Israeli peace to the Middle East?

The CG intro to 2002's Contra: Shattered Soldier on the PS2. While not as impressive as other games intro's... The rock theme with a CG Bill Rizer kicking @ss was awesome to Contra fans like myself. This intro still reminds me of Gears of War, But I guess the premise of a soldier being released from jail to take down hordes of creatures is a common theme. :/

Dates set for Clemens, McNamee depositions ahead of hearing
WASHINGTON -- Roger Clemens will give Congress a deposition or transcribed interview next Saturday in advance of the House hearing where the pitcher and his former trainer, Brian McNamee, are to testify.
Letters were sent to Clemens, McNamee and three other people Friday by House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform chairman Henry Waxman and ranking Republican Tom Davis.
The letters ask the witnesses to meet with committee staff on specific dates leading up to the panel's scheduled Feb. 13 hearing. Clemens' lawyer said he would accept.
McNamee, who has been seeking immunity for his congressional testimony, was asked to meet with committee staff Jan. 31.
Clemens' former teammate and workout partner, Andy Pettitte, was asked to appear Jan. 30, while another former teammate, Chuck Knoblauch, was invited for Jan. 24. Pettitte has acknowledged that McNamee injected him with HGH. Kirk Radomski, a former New York Mets clubhouse employee who along with McNamee was one of the Mitchell report's key sources, was asked to speak to staff Feb. 1.
"The committee asks that you provide testimony about allegations in Senator George Mitchell's report ... that you and other Major League Baseball players used performance-enhancing drugs during your professional baseball career," Waxman and Davis wrote to Clemens.
The letter was sent to him via Rusty Hardin, one of the lawyers for the seven-time Cy Young Award winner. Clemens was given until Tuesday to respond.
"We look forward to sitting down with the committee staff on the 26th and with the full committee at its public hearing on Feb. 13," Hardin said.
The Mitchell report, released last month, contains McNamee's allegations -- first told to federal prosecutors and then repeated to the former Senate majority leader -- that he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone.
Clemens has repeatedly and vigorously denied what McNamee said, including in a recorded television interview and a live news conference. Clemens did acknowledge he received injections from McNamee, but he said they were for vitamin B-12 and the painkiller lidocaine.
"The committee asks that you provide testimony about the information you supplied to Senator Mitchell regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs by Major League players," the letter to McNamee reads.
Richard Emery, one of McNamee's lawyers, said there were ongoing discussions with the committee about McNamee's desire for immunity. Earl Ward, McNamee's other lawyer, said Thursday a committee staffer had told him that immunity requests were rarely granted.
Emery didn't see it as a big issue.
"We're working with it out with Congress," he said. "We're definitely going to be moving forward."
The witnesses were given the choice of a deposition or a transcribed interview.
"I haven't detected any preference" for one format or the other, said Keith Ausbrook, Republican general counsel for the committee. "At this point, we're still in discussions."
Among the differences is that a deposition is delivered under oath and an interview is not, although that isn't a major distinction, because it is a crime to lie to Congress. Waxman and Davis this week asked the Justice Department to investigate whether 2002 AL MVP Miguel Tejada made false statements to House committee staff when he was interviewed -- not under oath -- in connection with the Rafael Palmeiro perjury case in 2005. The FBI has opened a preliminary investigation.
"If you're not under oath, you might as well be, because you're subject to prosecution," Emery said.
With a deposition, the transcript is kept confidential until the committee chairman and ranking minority member agree to release it or if the committee votes to release it. With a transcribed interview, the committee may talk about its contents and release it at any time.
In addition, with a deposition, only one Democrat and one Republican may ask questions of the witness, whereas more members of committee staff are allowed to participate in an interview.
A witness may be accompanied only by an attorney at a deposition; a witness may request that others be present at an interview.

I run a company that finances big projects that do good things (environmental, social, economic) in poor regions of the world.
I've successfully used Airbnb in Portland, London, Chicago, and Brooklyn during a recent wonderful around the world trip and am now looking forward to meeting new people as a host.
David has completed online and offline ID verification.
David Was wonderful guest ! He was kind, polite, clean, , and it was very fun to have him as a guest. you are always welcome to come back any time, warmly recommend to all hosts(;
David was really easy guest to accommodate. Very respectful and a great guest. While I was out of the country my roommates said he was great! I would highly recommend David as a guest.
Came back to find my place in great shape! Communicated well, was very nice.
David, right back at you! We enjoyed the too little company shared, really hated to see you go. Anytime you need a place we will make the room and again thank you for the wonderful opportunity of meeting you both.
Straight to the point : David is one of the nicest guy I have ever met.However hard you try, you will never find anything negative to say about him . Extremely sociable , a great personality, David makes you feel you are welcoming a long lost friend rather than a stranger. And of course David is very respectfull of the host's privacy, he is very clean and tidy and I actually wish he could have stayed longer so enjoyable is his company. Needless to say David will be welcomed back anytime.Very highly recommended.
David was an excellent, interesting guest. I really enjoyed meeting him during his quick visit. He's an AirBnB veteran, so knows how to be a good guest.
David is a nice guest, easy to communicate with, smart, clean and helpful. Best guest ever! We are glad that you like staying with us. It was a pleasure to have you as a guest. We will be happy to see you again soon.
David was excellent guest! Respectful, communicative, appreciative and tidy. David welcome back anytime. I recommend him to all airbnb hosts!
This was our 2nd time hosting David, and it was a pleasure, as before. We welcome David back anytime!
David had been a great, friendly guest. He is a very experienced airbnb traveler and easy to host. He left the room just as clean as when he came. Highly recommend him as a guest and would love to host him again.
I've known David for years. He's smart, cool and witty and I'm sure he'll make a great rental host as well as a guest.
David's a well-intentioned, honest, outgoing and good guy. Travels a lot - really resourceful and you'll get into great conversations with him.
Dave is a great guy - fun, resourceful, and smart. Im looking forward to have him as my guest when he makes it to London.

Here is a teaser video of the lovely sex star – Sunny Leone. It comes from a full movie named "Chained" I don't have it, but I've seen it. I just typed in the "glamkore" in my browser, joined the site. You don't have to because the 5 minute long clip is long enough to see the real beauty of this babe. Her big tits and lustful curves. The source of this film is here
Sunny Leone flaunts sweet bare Feet
Some people love female feet and some love Sunny Leone, this post will make both parties happy! Why? Because it features Sunny showing off not only her sweet boobs but also her bare feet ! Other than that she's wearing sexy pantyhose on her long legs and all in all she looks ultra fine. More explicit stuff here.
While we're at latinas, I know of a site which features like A LOT of them and the best part is that they're all using live adult cams and are willing to have a one on one sex chat with you.
Sunny Leone on the bubble Chair
Hi there folks. Here's a really bad quality video clip of some very hot lady and you know her very well. Yes it's Sunny, and she's dancing/touching herself next to a bubble chair. She's wearing tight dress and looks soooo sexy!
Sunny Leone in the Shower Cabin
Alluring pornstar Sunny Leone is posing for the camera in the shower cabin. The exotic beauty is wearing sexy glitter bikini on her curvacious body. She's got smooth long legs, and perfect waist to boobs ratio + her tits are all natural as you probably know already if you found this site searching for her.
The rest of this video is here
Sunny Leone Taking a Bath
The last two updates on this site were video…so let's try one more time, this time with a clip straight from Sunny Leone's website, of course it's cutted and it's only like 1/4 of part 4 but still it's something you won't find easily elsewhere. The vid is black and white, it starts with Sunny lighting up the candles while sitting on the toilet, after a while she gets inside the bath tub.
Sunny Leone Kissing With her Blonde Friend
Please not that I've edited the beginning of this vid, so that you'll have a chance to actually see some action as I'm only allowed to post 3-4 min videos. In the part I've cutted there was Sunny Leone and her blonde friend walking down the street and entering some big villa. After you click play you'll see these girls chatting and sipping champagne, but after a while they starts kissing eachother and the real lesbian fun begins…
Sunny Leone's Jism2 Promo and Trailer
For all you Sunny Leone fans – are you aware of the upcoming Bollywood thriller called "Jism-2″ ? Let my show you a trailer:
The plot is: A porn star (Sunny Leone) is hired by a dashing intelligence officer (Arunoday Singh) to become a 'Honey-trap' for a dreaded assassin (Randeep Hooda).(Wikipedia)
Check out some promo pictures from Jism2
The movie will hit the theatres on August 3 2012, so stay tuned everyone. Funny thing about her is that she's looking better now than she was ten years ago, do you agree?
Sunny Leone in Young & Restless by Cafe Glow
So, you're aware that your favourite exotic model Sunny Leone appeared in some Bollywood productions, right?
But I bet you haven't heard about the erotic video she was recently featured in called "Young & Restless" filmed by Cafe Glow studios.
We're showing you some spicy screen caps from the movie – judge for yourself if she looks hot or not. For me
the short video is absolutely amazing. There are two ways you can watch it:
a) By visiting Cafe Glow
b) By Joining her official site ( this option is way better as you get tons of her other stuff)
Sunny Leone Stripping by the Window
We've changed our picture posting format a bit, we stopped writing descriptions under each pic of Sunny Leone, instead we'll just post them in a batch, we hope you'll like this new way of updating this blog…Anyway what's more important is that new set of pics was just posted, take a look below!
Sunny's looking hot as always wearing tight green dress standing by the window. She looks like she was one of the dancers taken straight from the movie "Chicago"! Only I don't remember any girls THAT hot in the movie though…
Sunny Leone Stripping by the Window
Check out the breath-taking Sunny Leone posing in white, lace lingerie by the window! It's a tradition here that we're posting only the recent stuff taken straight from her website so you're looking at brand new photos! What can I say …she looks awesome and the dark make up she started to use some time ago makes her even hotter!

Hey you!
I think it is time for me to upgrade my profile. It was too little about me. I am not your typical girl who only know purses and shoes. I don't go to mall daily. I work hard and I have a good job. I am secured and independant. I don't do drug and never did. So if you do that, please don't write to me. Beside working, I like to go concert/baseball game/football. I love good food. I go to gym and i like to go hiking. Stay in with the right person and a good movie is one of my favour thing to do. I was born in China, grew up in Hong Kong, went to college in Ohio and work here in Arizona. I can speak, write and read Chinese (haha.. of course. I live there long enough to learn all of them). I like Arizona since I was in the snow for a long 5 years. I like to be able to walk around outside without falling on the ice (I was born with two left feet). The little secret I am hiding is I cannot swim. I may join the little kids swimming class to try to learn it this coming winter. Wish me good luck. If you like what you see, drop me a few line. I am a nice and easy going person.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Aerobics, Baseball, Bowling, Dancing, Football, Running, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

40 degrees in Burlington on Wednesday was a little too good to be true, so Mother Nature has brought a cold front to make us cold again.
Afternoon temperatures on Thursday only in the teens as a northwest wind around 10 to 15 mph keeps pushing in cold air. To the south there will mostly cloudy skies while the Champlain Valley should see some clearing by this evening.
By Friday morning we are mostly clear but cold. Dropping below zero again. You will enjoy partly sunny skies on Friday and a slightly lighter wind, but it will still be cold with highs in the low 20s.
There is hope for the weekend. We warm back into the teens for lows and 30s for highs but more clouds are back. There will also be some light snow. Best chances will be late Saturday into Sunday with some snow sticking around until Monday. Accumulations will not be significant.
Hour-by-Hour: Temperature Forecast
It looks like drier air and more seasonable temperatures (or slightly above) arrive by mid week, maybe even the 40s!

This is my 3rd pregnancy and with the other two I would hear some random things about the way I looked and the condition of my hands and how they all played a part into the sex of the baby.
Over the weekend my grandpa tells me to make sure I don't hang two figs on my door post since I already have two kids. He explained that if you want twins or triplets then put two or three figs on your door, but if you only want one make sure you just put the one.
I thought that was the funniest thing in the world. I love my grandpa! What have you ladies been hearing??

Jim is separated from his parents in a world at war. To survive, he must find a strength greater than all the events that surround him.
Shanghai, 1941 -- a city aflame from the fateful torch of Pearl Harbor. In streets full of chaos and corpses, a young British boy searches in vain for his parents. Imprisoned in a Japanese concentration camp, he is witness to the fierce white flash of Nagasaki, as the bomb bellows the end of the war...and the dawn of a blighted world.
Ballard's enduring novel of war and deprivation, internment camps and death marches, and starvation and survival is an honest coming-of-age tale set in a world thrown utterly out of joint.
©1987 J. G. Ballard (P)1987 Simon & Schuster
"An outstanding novel...a classic adventure story." (The New York Times)
"A profound and moving work of the imagination." (Los Angeles Times Book Review)
"An incredible literary achievement....Brilliant." (Anthony Burgess)
"empire of the sun"
Only giving it 4/5 because it's abridged. Why do they do this?
This is one that you will listen to a couple of times. Well done.
Avid audible listener for over 10 years.
"Abridged version kind of ruins it."
I love this book and found the abridged version sort of disappointing. I wish there was an unabridged one. The narration by Jeremy Irons is great though. Consequently I would recommended reading the book rather that listening to abridged version. I added it to my library because it was inexpensive and I had a $10 credit. Wish I had not.
"A nice surprise"
I will admit, I bought this book just because Jeremy Irons was narrating. He doesn't disappoint, but as well as being treated to hours of Jeremy Irons I found a fantastic little story about how war looks through the eyes of a child. It's an incredible look into how adaptable children are, and how quickly something that would leave an adult quaking can become just another every day thing. It's scary, but leaves you with a lot to think about.
Great story, I'm very glad I downloaded this.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

St Barts, known as Saint Barthelemy officially and simply as Saint-Barth to the locals, is eight square miles of paradise in the north eastern corner of the Caribbean arc. Not far from either St Kitts or Anguilla, both of which can be seen on the horizon.
In contrast to its formerly British neighbouring islands, St Barts remains resolutely French and 100% part of the French Republic, with all the emphasis on style, fashion and cuisine that that entails.
Discovered by Colombus in 1493 and then again in 1957 by the Rockefellers, St Barts is famed as the playground of the rich and famous and at Christmas the global jet-set and glitterati can be found enjoying the 22 beaches and the 80 or so restaurants. The hotels on St Barts are small and the majority of the accommodation is in villas, of which we have the widest possible choice
Vitet is a long stretch of St Barts reaching from Camaruche to Deve. With exclusively hill top locations, Vitet has a mix of magnificent deluxe properties and more reasonably priced villas.Within easy access of the facilities of Marigot and Grand Cul de Sac.Given that St Barts is only eight square miles, nowhere is far from anywhere.

Dallas' Frederick won't move from center
August, 21, 2013
By Brent Sobleski | ESPN Insider
The Dallas Cowboys continue to dabble with offensive line combinations. It's latest incarnation has Doug Free at right guard, Jermey Parnell at right tackle and Mackenzy Bernadeau at left guard. The two constants have been Tyron Smith at left tackle and first round pick Travis Frederick at center. Frederick can also play guard, but the Cowboys don't expect to experiment with him the rest of the season.

A Dream
Just when ye dead of night began to fail
& boding visions senceless dreams expell
Methought a matron stood beside my bed
Upon her face a wondrous sweetness playd
& pointed Glorys dressd the modest visions head
my tongue grew speechless & my eyes were fixt
by silent fear with admiration mixt
She to my lips a living coal apply's
perhaps from some well pleasing sacrifice
then thus she said while I more courage found
to bear her sight & hear ye heav'nly sound
from the bright realms my vot'ries have I came
saints are my vot'ries Piety my name
Oft do I come but often am dispisd
happy were all if all my favour prizd
now my best offers to yr soul I give
Accept these offers O be mine & live
Ile teach you how to pray for wt you want
& when I teach you God yr prayr will grant
Ile teach you your redeemer to rehearse
& glide in flames of love along yr verse
Lett other men describe wth flowing lines
How Damon courts or Amarillis shines
But for your subject chuse a theme divine
fames their reward while heaven it self is thine
& then since Angells sing of nought below
they'le sing like men but like an angell you
Be thou my bard (& as these words she said
She powrd a sacred unction on my head
then thus proceeded) Be thy muse thy Zeal
dare to be good & all my Joys reveal
if Drunkards to their Deity apply
A short contentment & a fleeting Joy
Apply to me true peace & lasting bliss
I should not dress in weaker charms yn his
New-paint ye love yt hov'ring over beds
from purple wings his guilty pleasures sheds
his bow be sable sable be the darts
but tingd with endless flame to scorch our hearts
his bones without the sanguin stream or vital parts
But above all employ thy utmost powr
on love Divine twill need it all & more
Oh boundless Goodness to poor mankind shown
tell but the fact, lett rhetorick alone,
no colours can become it like its own.
Draw a Descending Jesus from ye sky
Make the great being in a manger ly
Of men despisd of men he came to save
pursu'd afflicted to ye very grave
Make ye great being cheerfully submitt
& me like Mary weeping at his feet
Much have I said & more woud tell you yet
but raptures smother what I woud repeat
My thoughts grow giddy while I strive to sound
the height & depth of love wthout a bound
My God I cannot comprehend thy wayes
but what I cannot comprehend Ile prayse
& then With raptures in her mouth she fled
the Cloud (for on a cloud she seemd to tread)
its curles unfolded & around her spread
My downy rest the warmth of fancy broke
& when my thoughts grew settled thus I spoke
Ah Gracious Lord make all my dreams like this
& make mine innocence compose my bliss
When reason lyes Asleep & leaves to reign
May my good Angell my passions restrain
Or I must wake to find upon my breast
the gaudy forms more deep yn ere imprest
they'le make my reason's victorys in vain
& make my former habits mine again
Thus if the snake wch hardly moves the tail
to shun the conqu'ring season takes a cell
if nature in a sleep a skin prepare
give him more strength & make him look more fair
He finds his robe is changd fm what he wore
He proudly shoots along ye sunny shore
& hunts the man fm whom he fled before.

Stephanie has completed online and offline ID verification.
A very quiet and relaxing atmosphere to say the least. Found the property was as listed and in a very nice neighborhood, as matter of fact only ran across neighbors once during the stay. A warm greeting was given by Kaya, the gentle and loving cat. Stayed for 4 nights and would stay again although I highly recommend you have a mode of transportation as the downtown area is about 10 miles away. Didn't get to meet Stephanie but she stayed in contact via text message and was available to assist if needed. Would rate 4-5 stars.
My stay at Stephanie's place was and has been the best experience so far and will definitely stay again when back in the area. Location was perfect and very safe. The overall it was very clean and well appointed.
In short, Stephanie's place was amazing. Though we never got to meet her in person, everything was in order, and we had zero trouble with anything. Even with three people, the place never felt too small, and the couch proved to be a great bed. Everything was cozy, clean, and pleasant, and the cat was a great extra treat to come back to at the end of the day. We would choose Stephanie's place 10/10.
Stephanie's place was very cozy and warm. It made it quite hard to venture out into the cold and explore the city. The bed was very comfortable, and everything made us feel right at home. Even though she was out of town, she made sure everything was ready and was quick to respond to any messages I had. I would recommend staying here to anyone!
Stephanie was out of town during my trip, but she made sure everything was ready for me when I arrived. Place was nice and cozy and very relaxing. I had a wonderful stay and look forward to my next visit.
We had a great experience staying at Stephanie's place! Cozy queen bed, and towels much softer and plusher than you ever find at a hotel. Her place is beautifully decorated, and we had everything we needed.
Stephanie's apartment was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. Although she was out of town at the time of our visit, Stephanie made sure that everything was in order for our arrival. She was easy to communicate with and was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!! Thanks!
Stephanie's place is very clean and cozy and centrally located in San Antonio. I needed a place to bake my holiday cookies in town and her kitchen worked perfect for the occasion. The description was accurate and she has lots of nice amenities: deep sinks, new oven, beautiful countertops. The outside of the building is a little older but inside is very nice. Would stay here again if I needed to.
Was perfect for our 6-night getaway. Everything is brand new and have never seen a cleaner place. Loved the décor. Also includes a balcony complete with candles where we ate our dinner a couple of nights.
Luxurious, conveniently located , clean,cozy.
Stephanie and her friends were great guests! I would love to host them again.
Stephanie was a pleasure. The perfect guest. It was a last minute booking and we were out of town on our way back when she requested the stay. She was very understanding that we had a couple of last minute things to do before she checked in. Put the dogs away, turn on the outdoor lights. She and I had a glass of wine and visited while Fred and Tom took care of those items. I highly recommend Stephanie. She left the space in excellent condition.
Strephanie was the perfect guest. I highly recommend her. I enjoyed our short visit.She left the space spotless. Hope to see her in the future.
Stephanie and her friend were the model guests.. They treated our home as if it were their own, it was clean and well cared for. They were very easy to communicate with, and always courteous. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Great guest will recommend
Stephanie and her boyfriend were great. They are a lot of fun and left their room in great condition...hope to see them again...I would recommend them to anyone....
Stephanie was really great! She even wrote a really sweet note, thanking us for opening our house up. would be glad to have both her and her boyfriend again.

Backyard Orchard News
Bee-ing Thankful
President Obama just pardoned a couple of turkeys--Apple and Cider. They won't make it to the White House Thanksgiving dinner today.
But what he could have done--when he was pardoning the turkeys--was to praise the honey bees.
Without honey bees, Thanksgiving Day dinner--as we know it--would not exist.
It's time to "bee" thankful.
If your table includes pumpkin, cranberries, carrots, cucumbers, onions, apples, oranges, cherries, blueberries, grapefruit, persimmons, pomegranates, pears, sunflower seeds, and almonds, thank the bees for their pollination services.
Spices? Thank the bees, too. Bees visit the plants that eventually comprise our spices, including sage, basil, oregano and thyme.
Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty, says that even milk and ice cream are linked closely to the honey bee. Cows feed on alfalfa, which is pollinated by honey bees (along with other bees).
So, pardon the turkeys? Well, at least "Apple" and "Cider." But let's praise the honey bees, too.
And pomegranates!

Mark Your Calendar
Mark your calendar.
If you're a bee aficionada and haven't ordered your educational North American Bee Calendar, you have until Tuesday, Nov. 30 to place your order.
It's for a good cause. Proceeds benefit the pollination services work by the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and the Great Sunflower Project.
This is an order-online-only calendar, says Celeste Ets-Hokin, the Bay Area native bee enthusiast who is spearheading the second annual project. That means you won't find the calendar in any stores and you won't be able to order it after Nov. 30.
The calendar spotlights a different bee genus each month, with notes on preferred plants, nesting needs, and guidance on how to identify the genus. In other words, it's a good way to learn about bees: what they look like, where they live and how to entice them to your garden.
At the UC Davis Department of Entomology, we frequently get requests for information on bees. "What are those big black bees buzzing around my garden?" they ask. "What does a leafcutter bee look like? How can I attract bumble bees?"
If you're around entomologists, you'll hear them talking about Osmias, Lasioglossums, Xylocopas and Agapostemons.
Bees appearing in the calendar and the scientific names are:
January: Honey Bee (Apis)
February: Bumble Bee (Bombus)
March: Digger Bee (Habropoda)
April: Mason Bee (Osmia)
May: Sweat Bee (Lasioglossum)
June: Ultra Green Sweat Bee (Agapostemon)
July: Leafcutter Bee (Megachile)
August: Squash Bee (Peponapis)
September: Long-horned Bee (Melissodes)
October: Carder Bee (Anthidium)
November: Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa)
December: Cuckoo Bee (Epeolus)
The photos by Rollin Coville of Berkeley are stunning. The green metallic sweat bee glitters like emeralds.
Calendars are $15 each, which includes shipping anywhere in the United States. The international price is $18, shipping included. Orders may be placed by accessing the Xerces website or The Great Sunflower Project website.
Coville, who has a doctorate in enotomology from UC Berkeley, collaborates with Gordon Frankie of UC Berkeley and emeritus professor Robbin Thorp of UC Davis on urban bees.
Indeed, the calendar is the work of many scientists and "bee folks." Matthew Shepherd, senior conservation associate of the Xerces Society, and Ets-Hokin served as editors, and Miguel Barbosa as the graphic designer. Scientists sharing their research expertise included: Neal Williams of UC Davis; Gordon Frankie and Claire Kremen of UC Berkeley; and Rachael Winfree of Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J.

What is happening with Asian citrus psyllid?
Recently single adult psyllids were found on two traps about 1 mile apart from each other in Upland California (San Bernadino County). The host plants in and around these traps are being treated and these finds will expand the quarantine zone (20 miles around a psyllid find). The populations in Imperial, San Diego, and Los Angeles counties countinue to have the occasional new psyllid finds, but the area that is being treated has not expanded very much. This is evidence that the insecticide treatments are very effective - if we can find this tiny insect! We continue to get the good news that no huanglongbing disease has been found in California.
Insects Find This Garden Rosy
It's the kind of rose garden that Joe South would write about.
The Grammy-award winning songwriter-guitarist who wrote "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" (popularized by country singer Lynn Anderson), has probably never seen this rose garden, though.
It's at the University of California, Davis, and it's an All-America Rose Selections (AARS) Test Garden.
Located on Hopkins Road, off Hutchison Drive, just west of the central UC Davis campus, it is one of 15 AARS test gardens located throughout the United States, representing a variety of climates. In fact, the UC Davis rose garden is one of three test gardens in California--the others are in Carlsbad and San Jose.
AARS, a self-described "non-profit association dedicated to the introduction and promotion of exceptional roses that will be easy to grow and require minimal care," selects and plants roses that have the potential to become a new variety.
"We use common practices for optimal growth and insect control but no fungicides for control of powdery mildew or dust in order to evaluate natural disease resistance," according to a sign posted at the entrance.
It is indeed an exceptional garden, filled with 30 new rose varieties, including hybrid teas, floribundas, landscape, grandifloras and one climbing rose.
The insects there would agree, too: the honey bees, ladybugs, katydids, and spotted cucumber beetles. The honey bees and ladybugs are beneficial; the katydids and spotted cucumber beetles are pests.
It wasn't planted for them, but it's theirs, too.
"I beg your pardon--I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime..."

So Much Has Happened...
It's a romantic getaway.
Say "San Ysidro Ranch" and someone will tell you that John F. Kennedy and his bride, Jackie, honeymooned there in September 1953.
So much has happened since then. JFK went on to win the presidency in 1961 and tragically, 47 years ago today--Nov. 22, 1963--he lost his life in Dallas.
The San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, first a way station for San Franciscan monks in 1769, and then a citrus ranch before becoming a guest ranch in 1893, is now one of the most highly rated romantic getaways in the country.
The 500-acre site near Santa Barbara is also a "perfect 10" for honey bees and other insects foraging on the lush grounds.
It's a human paradise AND an entomological treasure.
When our son and his bride recently said "I do" at the very site that Vivien Leigh (Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind) wed Sir Lawrence Olivier, honey bees added to the ceremony. They buzzed from flower to flower, gathering nectar and pollen for their winter stores. A touch of Mother Nature...a brush with Father Time.
Honey...honeymoon...honey bees...
