Arendt's Outdoor Services grows by establishing expertise, but also knowing when to back off.
Arendt's Outdoor Services started more than 20 years ago by offering basic lawn mowing. As satisfied customers kept asking for additional services, the company naturally expanded into full-service maintenance, design/build and snow management. "As time moved forward, the company grew," says account manager Dan Bantell.
"We're on these properties already, mowing the lawn, and they're always asking us to trim their shrubs. Naturally, you open up a can of worms when you start saying, 'Yeah,' because you find yourself saying, 'Yeah,' to a bunch of things." The secret to Arendt's growth doesn't mean saying yes to everything – but rather, focusing selectively on what the company does best.
"It's not about saying yes to those requests. It's about saying yes to those requests that fit who we are currently and where we want to go," Bantell says. "You can't be everything to everyone, so you've got to know what you're good at. But knowing what you're good at doesn't mean you're only good at one service. We're really good at maintenance and within maintenance, there are a bunch of services."
Specifically, Arendt's Outdoor Services caters to commercial and high-end residential markets around Clarks Summit, Pa.
Although the company does a great deal of landscape design/build, maintenance work has been growing at a clip lately, so Arendt's is developing a niche in full-service lawn and landscape maintenance.
The ideal customer, in Bantell's eyes, relies on Arendt's all year long for weekly mowing along with other services.
By building loyal relationships with customers who fit this focus, Arendt's Outdoor Services drives sustainable growth that secures the company long-term.
The first step to building long-term customer relationships is establishing credibility. Account representatives must be able to understand and deliver on customer needs, which requires a combination of listening and looking. The ability to diagnose lawn care needs gives the first impression of a capable provider.
"When you do that initial property walk-through, it's listening to what the property manager has to say, but also keeping in mind: here's what we offer," Bantell says.
"Sometimes what you're hearing from the customer – they're only telling you what they've always experienced. So you're standing there talking to them on a 15,000-square foot paver patio at an office complex, and they may not realize that needs to be maintained, so they're not talking about it."
That's where you need to say, "Hey, the grout in this is really washed out; you have some moss back here," allowing you to add that right into the service. While recommending relevant services, mentioning successful previous projects can help establish credibility.
Bantell might take the opportunity to say something like, 'You have a huge drainage issue here and it reminds me of a similar job we did. It was a homerun; the client is thrilled because we completely eliminated that issue."
The goal is not to name-drop clients or boast how much you know about landscaping. The goal is to assure customers that you have the knowledge and credentials to solve any of their landscape issues.
Building customer relationships requires enough technical experience to recognize issues and opportunities in a lawn, paired with excellent people skills. One of the biggest challenges Bantell faces on a daily basis is balancing the two, or, in his words, "learning what somebody's expectations are and making sure that the service you present them with makes sense." For example, if a customer requests a "perfect-looking property" within a limited budget, Bantell is responsible for mediating their desires with realistic deliverables.
Once a balance is struck, documenting the agreed expectations is key to maintaining the relationship – especially as the company grows and more employees get involved. Arendt's relies on software to efficiently communicate customer preferences to crews, while Bantell stays in constant contact with the production manager to make sure execution meets expectations.
Although Arendt's focus lately has been maintenance, the company isn't neglecting design/build. Bantell, who works mainly with maintenance customers, see the two sides of the business as complementary. With that mindset, he focuses on cross-selling maintenance services to landscape installation customers, and vice versa.
"It's easy to work on a property from a maintenance standpoint and just do nothing but maintain it," he says. "But the reality of it is: landscapes get outdated, shrubs die, so my eyes are always open for that. My job is to get out there and say, 'Hey, I was walking your property and I noticed this or that. By the way, your mulch is looking pretty thin. We offer that service. We're on your property anyway. What would it take for you to accept a proposal?'"
Similarly, whenever Arendt's completes a landscape job, the account rep makes sure customers know that the company can also maintain the landscape it just built. He or she will notify Bantell to follow up with landscape customers to recommend a maintenance program.
Existing customers are warm leads for upsells and cross-sells because they already know and trust Arendt's Outdoor Services. By tapping into these opportunities – not as a company trying to make more money, but as a long-term partner proactively looking out for customers' landscape needs – Arendt's continues to grow. "If you already have an existing relationship with someone, they naturally take your advice, suggestions and recommendations a heck of a lot easier than someone that doesn't know you," Bantell says. "Being proactive from the account management point of view helps create loyalty, because it shows that you care about their property."
To each his own
For a company to focus on what it does best, individual employees should be able to focus on what each one does best. At Arendt's Outdoor Services for example, estimators focus only on estimating, administrative staff focus on administrative tasks, mowing crews focus on mowing, applicators focus on fertilization, and so on. Typically, production crews specialize in certain services, although maintenance employees might cross over to assist on large installation jobs.
"You always hear you've got to have the right people on the bus, but you also have to have them in the right seat," says Dan Bantell, account manager. "If you're going to have a dedicated portion of the company that does nothing but design-build-install, you need somebody at the head who knows design."
Since Arendt's in-house landscape designer retired, the service has taken a backseat to maintenance – although several employees with CAD experience collaborate to continue offering design. Meanwhile, with the focus on maintenance, the company hired Bantell in January 2013 specifically to grow the maintenance business.
In a company the size of Arendt's, which peaks at about 30 employees during the busy season, key employees can practically make or break certain services.
"You could have a great hardscape crew in place, and then a super loyal, committed hard worker gives his two-weeks notice," Bantell says. "That's hard to take. Do I want to go through that training process again? Or do I want to make do with what we have, slowly dissolve it and start referring that work elsewhere?"
The company "dissolved" prior services like irrigation and landscape lighting installation, which required significant specialized training. Now, as the company grows toward maintenance, having a strong team in place will determine success.
"In order to grow in a certain direction," Bantell says, "you need the right person in the right seat."

A representative of one of the Cuban-American groups charged with distributing the funds defended the purchases: "These people are going hungry. They never get any chocolate there."
Gen. John Abizaid told the Senate Armed Services Committee that troop levels should not be changed in Iraq, but that Iraqis themselves ought to bear responsibility for the nation's security. Sen. Hillary Clinton responded with a smackdown: "Hope is not a strategy. ... I have heard over and over again the Iraqi government must do this, the Iraqi army must do that. Nobody disagrees with that. The brutal fact is, it is not happening."

I also think you should tell her face-to-face. If you don't, you are still letting her control you, in a wierd way. You can be honest without telling her everything. If you put everything into an "I" statement, she can't really argue... "I have given this a lot of thought... I feel really torn... I'm just not happy working her any more...I have decided... I'm noticing that you are trying to talk me out of this.. etc." Make your decision, and don't argue. If she tries to argue with you or talk you out of it, just sit there in silence at look at her. Nothing more to say.
You shouldn't worry about upsetting the boss that is making you miserable. Quit so you don"t have to be miserable anymore. So you don"t have to worry also about upsetting them when you quit. Give 2 wks notice. Say something like it doesn"t fit your schedule or you are going back to school. And if you don"t think about it it can"t upset you.
i wanna quit my job and be lazy for a month lol but i can't i need the money
No you need to talk to her face to face. If you email her then she will get upset. She will try to get you to stay because you are obviously a big contributor but just tell her the truth. If she insists, tell her to give you time to think it over but that you are definitely giving her notice in writing.

I know it s a tough thing to do and you might feel a bit of a traitor but let me tel you, if she had to let you go because she has to tighten the budget, she probably would - she is running a business.

The Land Called Australia
The Great Southern Continent
The Commonwealth of Australia is made up of of 6 states and territories. The six states are: Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia,Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. The two Territories are: Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory.
The capital of Australia is Canberra.
Australians call different parts of their country by different names:
The City:
Is any large city and its suburbs. Over 85% of the people live
in cities along the coast. Melbourne, Sydney,
Brisbane, Perth and Canberra are major cities.
The Country:
Is the area immediately outside a city and usually includes the surrounding
smaller towns and farms. Most of what is called "the country"
is a stretch of land about 200 kilometres deep around the southeastern
seaboard of Australia. Upper Beaconsfield,
the Great Ocean Road and the Dandenongs are in "the country".
The Outback:
Is the sparsely populated arid interior of Australia. It makes up almost 85% of Australian landmass. The Outback is both harsh and breathtakingly beautiful. It's like no other place on
The People of Australia
Come from Around the World
Australia has a population of approximately 22 million. Over 90% of the population is made up of immigrants or the children of immigrants who arrived here during the last two centuries. Almost one in four of Australians alive today was born overseas.
Aborigines arrived about 50,000 years ago.
Europeans arrived only in 1776 (about 235 years ago). Since then migrates from over 200 countries have come and settled here.
Australians speak English. But we have our own special words and phrases referred to as Strine.
Waltzing Matilda is Australia's most famous song and is know by people around the world.
The Animals and Plants of Australia
Australia has 10 per cent of the world's biodiversity
Australia has lots of unusual plants and animals. More than 80% of its flowering plants, mammals, reptiles and frogs are unique to Australia. Nearly 50% of its birds and nearly all of its fresh water fish are found nowhere else in the world.
There more than 140 species of marsupials such as the Kangaroo, Koala and Wombat live in Australia. The egg-laying mammals called monotremes such as the Platypus and Echidna are unique to Australia.
The Great Barrier Reef
Is the Largest Coral Reef in the World
Australia's marine environment is home to 4000 species of fish, 1700 species of coral , 50 types of marine mammals and a wide range of seabirds. About 80 per cent of marine species found in southern Australian waters occur nowhere else in the world.
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef in the world.
It is stunning!

June 6th, 2008 #6Like how good you rendering abilities are. It shows on your works. The last one is very interesting
A thing that I can notice is that on your first posted piece and the one called "The Creep", the background looks empty and not planned. I mean, they look like an afterthought, and you could take advantage of them to enhance the piecess. Somebody around here told me to think about the background as a complement of the character. It adds to the pieces as well as the main figure. Just something to think about. Hope to see more!

May 4th, 2009 #21Heyo.
I would get some anatomy going. Your colors are strict but good, your painting technique is solid. The only thing I see across them all is that the anatomy is weak...
I personally would love to see some looser brush work and some crazier color...more of the stuff in the fighter piece. I likey that one bunches.
Keep up the studying.
May 4th, 2009 #22Thanks for taking the time to comment. Yeah - I have a slightly exaggerated anatomical style, especially when I portray females. When I'm not doing fantasy type art, I tend towards the more realistic. I started doing the exaggerations years after I graduated Visual Arts in college and for the most part enjoy it. Took a look at your site, I see you too are plagued by this thing called anatomy - Lol, soldier on.

Spurs Win, Mavs Lose + Scores & Schedules – The Sports Report 2/12/13
The aging San Antonio Spurs are playing like all-stars as we inch closer to All-Star Break in the NBA. Currently with the best record in the league, the Spurs rolled to another easy win as they took care of the Chicago Bulls last night. The Dallas Mavericks, on the other hand, look nothing like the team they've been in recent years as they fell to Atlanta.

Review: 2005 Mercury Montego Premier Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car videos. The Montego is intended to replace the ancient Sable sedan, added to Mercury showrooms almost 20 years ago as a 1986 model. Montego offers a much larger interior package than any Sable ever had, still with front-wheel drive, but also offering all-wheel drive for the first time in a Mercury sedan. It's Ford's first car-shaped SUV, with lots of help from Volvo and a bold new sedan look for Mercury.

One Car Rollover With Extrication - Spanaway, WA The driver was northbound on 46th Ave East and for some reason went offroad through a wire fence, a pile of rebar and off the embankment landing upside down on 204th street east. The door pillar on the passenger was cut out to remove the lone driver. So much for that Grand Prix. There is rebar sticking in the underside and hood of the car. Although injured, none life threatening.

We warned you. Here's the release:
The Sisters Folk Festival's 2012 event scheduled for September 7-9 in Sisters, Oregon, is officially sold out.
The festival made the announcement on Sunday, August 19; it is the first time the 17-year-old organization has declared a sellout in advance of the event.
"One of the keys to the success of the Sisters Folk Festival is that it has always been an accessible, intimate experience for patrons and musicians alike," says Jim Cornelius, chairman of the Sisters Folk Festival Board of Directors. "In order to preserve the unique character of the event, it's imperative that we not over-crowd our venues."
The festival features three large, tented venues and several other small venues located in businesses, all concentrated in the downtown area of Sisters.
"All our venues are going to be full throughout the festival," Cornelius noted. "If you want to see a particular artist at a particular venue, you'll want to be there early. For example, James McMurtry is only playing once, at the Village Green venue, and that's going to be full. Of course, there's great music going on at every venue all the time, so patrons will have plenty of opportunities."
A very limited number of day passes for the festival's Sunday program are still available.
The 2012 Sisters Folk Festival lineup includes James McMurtry, Mary Gauthier, the Walking Woody's Road tribute to Woody Guthrie, gypsy jazz guitar great John Jorgenson, Abigail Washburn, Gregory Alan Isakov and a wide array of artists from blues to bluegrass.

The future is now for the Canucks. If Gillis trades for potential he weakens the teram. Non roster return is not a viable option. The Canucks need help now and can only accept roster players in any trades. Not only this, but they need high calibre players capable of contributing immediately. Luongo must return at least a useful piece or else why weaken goaltending? Teams interested in Luongo should expect painful cost. Gillis must get someone good enough to step into Vancouver's line-up in a key role.
I do not think Gillis understands the term "stacking for a run". I don't really expect him to attempt it now. He doesn't have the pieces to deal off, anyway. I think he stands pat to get this group a last playoff run. They'll make the playoffs and the imminent changes will give them some sense of immediacy. Retaining Vignault suggests they aren't changing their approach.
You make it sound as though we are on the cusp of a swan song. Our core is only two years removed from a cup run and managed to scrap together a second President's Trophy with Kesler injured the majority of the season and Edler playing like garbage. We are more than capable of a encore run from 2011 with a healthy squad even if Luongo did not return a roster player of any particular merit.
While the potential reduction to sixty million may prevent a hat trick of President Trophies. We will finish top three in the West and likely top five overall. The return for our goalie does not make or break this team.

How 'Eco-Cool' Is This?
Martha Stewart apparently does.
And the folks at the Bohart Museum of Entomology at the University of California, Davis, couldn't be happier.
See, the editors of Martha Stewart Living listed the Bohart insect collection kit as one of the top three gifts for the young naturalist.
How cool is that! Or, how buggy is that!
The Martha Stewart folks wrote on their website: "Here is a handful of gifts for the pint-size wildlife expert. If your child loves being outdoors and inspecting all things creepy-crawly, read on to find the perfect present."
They cautioned: "Just be sure to enforce a strict no-centipedes-indoors rule" before they head out with their "eco-cool contraptions!"
Museum director Lynn Kimsey (top), professor and former interim chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, has long known how fascinating bugs are--and now Martha apparently agrees.
Fact is, the Bohart Museum, located at 1124 Academic Surge on California Drive, is home to more than seven million insect specimens; a live "petting zoo" (think Madagascar hissing cockroaches and walking sticks); and a gift shop.
The gift shop is like an entomological candy shop. There you can buy bug-related posters, note cards, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jewelry, magnets, scorpion-encased lollipops....and yes...insect collection kits.
So if someone is bugging you about a holiday gift, check out the Bohart, either online or in person. To accommodate families who work during the week, the Bohart has scheduled a special weekend opening on Saturday, Dec. 11 from 1 to 4 p.m. The Bohart is traditionally open on weekdays, year around, from 8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
We stopped at the Bohart Museum this morning and met a future entomologist who--yes--in his childhood owned an insect collection kit. Joel Hernandez, a UC Davis entomology major and a student assistant at the Bohart, acquired his kit at age 7. What first sparked his interest in entomology? An Animal Planet episode featuring the insects of Madagascar.
Hernandez later joined the Loma Vista 4-H Club, Ventura, and enrolled in an entomology project. His display of insects won "best of division" and "best of class" awards in the Ventura County Fair.
Hernandez now has five display cases of insects, including two cases of butterflies, one case of beetles and miscellaneous insects.
His ambition? To become an entomology professor.
Just think--somewhere out there is another "Joel" who will be getting his very own insect collection kit during the holidays--thanks to Martha.
Martha & Friends may now want to see the UC Davis Department of Entomology's video clips on "How to Make an Insect Collection." Professor James R. Carey taught the class last spring to undergraduates and graduate students. Their work can be viewed online.

Targeting Malaria, Working Toward a.Vaccine
Peter F. Billingsley (right), senior director of Entomology and Quality Systems at Sanaria Inc., Rockville, Md., will speak on "Development of a Mosquito-Derived, Attenuated Whole Parasite Vaccine against Malaria" on Friday, Dec. 3.
His talk--from 12:10 to 1 p.m. in the UC Davis Genome Center Auditorium, 1005 Genome and Biological Sciences Facility, 451 Health Sciences Drive--is part of the UC Davis Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology Seminar Series, "Emerging Challenges in Microbiology and Immunology." It's also affiliated with the UC Davis Department of Entomology fall seminar series.
Host is Shirley Luckhart, associate professor of medical microbiology and immunology, who studies the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. Luckhart's many roles include serving as a graduate student advisor in the Department of Entomology.
Sanaria? It's a self-described "biotechnology company dedicated to the production of a vaccine protective against malaria caused by the pathogen Plasmodium falciparum."
Billingsley has more than 20 years experience in medical entomology and malaria transmission research. He directed research teams at Imperial College, London, and the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, examining diverse aspects of insect biology related to disease transmission, especially midgut and salivary gland biology, and more recently the molecular physiology of aging in mosquitoes.
Billinglsey, who earned his doctorate at Queen's University in Canada, is a former head (chair) of zoology in the School of Biological Sciences, Aberdeen University.
Since 2006, he has devoted his broad expertise to the unique challenges of developing and deploying a live attenuated Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite vaccine at Sanaria Inc.
Billingsley's talk is generating a lot of interest, as well it should.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), malaria kills more than a million people a year: "In 2008, an estimated 190 - 311 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide and 708,000 - 1,003,000 people died, most of them young children in sub-Saharan Africa."

'A Nose for Insects' Sense of Smell'
"He is slim and intense, with graying hair and clipped sentences jagged with inflections from his years in Brazil and Japan. And he does not, perhaps cannot, quit."
So wrote freelance journalist Carrie Peyton Dahlberg, formerly with the Sacramento Bee, in her excellent profile of chemical ecologist Walter Leal, published today on the American Association for the Advancement of Science website.
Leal, professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, "tries to understand at the molecular level exactly what an insect is smelling, and how it relies on scent to interact with the world," she wrote.
Her article included a great quote from Leal's colleague, John Hildebrand, a neurobiology professor at the University of Arizona, Tucson.
"He's one of the most dynamic people in the field. He's a remarkably energetic and passionate person about his work … and notorious almost for the rapid fire way he speaks. He loves to joke that he can say twice as much in a lecture as anyone else because he only says half of each word."
It was the Leal lab that discovered the secret mode of DEET. The groundbreaking research proved that "DEET doesn't mask the smell of the host or jam the insect's senses," Leal said in a UC Davis Department of Entomology news story. "Mosquitoes don't like it because it smells bad to them."
DEET's mode of action or how it works puzzled scientists for more than 50 years. The chemical insect repellent, developed by scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and patented by the U.S. Army in 1946, is considered the "gold standard" of insect repellents worldwide. Worldwide, more than 200 million use DEET to ward off vectorborne diseases.
Scientists long surmised, incorrectly, that DEET masks the smell of the host, or jams or corrupts the insect's senses, interfering with its ability to locate a host. Mosquitoes and other blood-feeding insects find their hosts by body heat, skin odors, carbon dioxide (breath), or visual stimuli. Females need a blood meal to develop their eggs.
In her article, Peyton Dahlberg said Leal is trying to find something better than DEET.
Wrote Peyton Dahlberg: "DEET is a flawed tool, a chemical that needs to be used at high doses, can affect human biology, and isn't recommended for very young infants, according to Leal and others who have studied it. The point is finding something better than DEET, something more targeted to the most problematic insects and less dangerous for everything else, including people."
Leal told her that that to search for safer alternatives to DEET and other insecticides, researchers need to better understand the mechanisms of scent detection and chemical communication.
Leal indeed has a "nose for insects' sense of smell," as the AAAS headline pointed out.

Hanging Out to Get In
They're here. They're there.
The Western yellowjacket (Vespula pensylvanica) likes to hang around bee hives.
If you're a beekeeper, you've probably seen them nesting in a rodent burrow or hollow log near your hives.
At the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at the University of California, Davis, yellowjackets currently occupy two rodent holes a few feet from the hives. To mark the spot, beekeeper and research associate Elizabeth Frost placed a brick over each nest (see photo below).
The yellowjackets are not welcome.
Members of the Vespula genus are "the most abundant and troublesome wasps in California," according to scientists Jerry A. Powell and the late Charles L. Hogue in their book, California Insects, published by the University of California Press.
"The voracious workers attack everything in the vicinity, from resting insects to pieces of hamburgers on the picnic table," they noted, and "the colonies may become very large by late summer or fall."
Bee breeder-geneticist Susan Cobey, who divides her time between UC Davis and Washington State University, agrees that yellowjackets "can be a big problem. I've seen them kill hives."
Cobey says she's fighting them now in Island County, Washington. "I have only 10 colonies, but these are special--the imports (for bee research). The wasps are always hanging around the entrance harassing the bees."
"I've had to move hives at times because the invasion was decimating the bee population," she said. "They go for the thorax (meat). They especially like the drones being kicked out of the hives in the fall--big and juicy. This is an easy dinner so then they start going in the hives and taking workers."
One way to counter the yellowjacket invasions is to "reduce the size of the entrance so the bees can protect themselves." Also, beekeepers must "keep the hives strong and healthy--yellowjackets pick on the weak."
To decrease the yellowjacket population, beekeepers bait traps in the summer "as the reproductives come out," Cobey says.
Since yellowjackets are meat eaters and honey bees are not--you can use cat food with the bait.
"But the bait must be protected from other critters," Cobey cautions. "You can put in it an empty beehive with a very small entrance."
(Note: Postdoctoral scholar Erin Wilson of the Louie Yang lab, UC Davis Department of Entomology, will speak from 12:10 to 1 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 1 in 122 Briggs on how yellowjackets are wreaking havoc in Hawaii. Listen live at http://uc-d.na4.acrobat.com/ucsn1/. The seminar later will be archived.)
Emerging from Hole
They probably annoy you when they invite themselves to your barbecue to partake of your hamburger and other protein-rich foods. They're persistent predators.
But, do you know that they often build their nests near bee hives? "It's one-stop shopping," says postdoctoral scholar Erin Wilson (right) of the Louie Yang lab, UC Davis Department of Entomology.
Yellowjackets prey on honey bees. They raid the hives (killing the adults and brood, and stealing honey) and take the food back to their young.
Wilson, who does research on the Western yellowjacket (Vespula pensylvanica), is the lead author of a research article published in the Nov. 11 edition of Ecology.
On Wednesday, Dec. 1, she'll discuss "Yellowjacket Life History Shifts Modify Invasion Impacts in Hawaiian Ecosystems" at a UC Davis Department of Entomology seminar, set from 12:10 to 1 p.m., in 122 Briggs Hall. The talk, open to the public, also will be webcast live at http://uc-d.na4.acrobat.com/ucsn1/ and then archived on the entomology website.
The Western yellowjacket is an introduced, invasive species in Hawaii. Native to the western United States, it was first discovered in Hawaii in 1977. It's like a "vaccuum cleaner," Wilson says, and is clearly a threat to native species in Hawaii.
"The introduction of non-native organisms is a leading cause of imperilment of native species," says Wilson, who since 2004 has studied the social wasps at two sites: the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the island of Hawaii and the Haleakala National Park on Maui.
The yellowjacket "may seriously threaten endemic invertebrates that evolved in the absence of these social insects," she says. "Invasive predators affect native species directly and indirectly, and the magnitude of these effects is highly dependent on the history of the recipient community. Furthermore, the impact of this social wasp may be magnified by apparent shifts in colony structure in the introduced range."
Scientists have found that the incidence of perennial or overwintering colonies is higher in Hawaii than in the native range of V. pensylvanica.
Compared to annual colonies, overwintering perennial colonies can collect twice as many prey items and produce 10 times the worker force, Wilson says. Some perennial colonies were huge, the size linked to Hawaii's mild climate and the ability of the yellowjackets to establish perennial colonies. One Maui colony included as many as 600,000 individuals.
Yes, that's 600,000 wasps! In its native range, the typical size is less than a few thousand wasps.
Check out Wilson's research article, yellowjacket photos and her website and then listen to her seminar on Dec. 1:
- Multiple Mechanisms Underlie Displacement of Solitary Hawaiian Hymenoptera by an Invasive Social Wasp (E. E. Wilson and D. A. Holway, Ecology journal)

What is everyones opinion of this pistol,I'm thinking of getting one?
This is a discussion on Springfield XD subcompact 45 ACP within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; What is everyones opinion of this pistol,I'm thinking of getting one?...
What is everyones opinion of this pistol,I'm thinking of getting one?
Never heard of a XD-45 "Sub" Compact, There is an XD-45 Compact that is a service model (4" bbl) and a compact grip or "officers grip". To my knowledge SA does not make a Sub Compact 45.
If you are talking about the XD-45 Compact then yea, that is a nice weapon. I actually just bought one that hasn't come in yet (Teusday) but I have fondled them as well as shot them and they are pretty sweet. This is coming from a 1911 guy too, so I sometimes think all triggers and feel of a gun should be as nice and the XD to me actually is or is as close as it can be, I was surprised.
Train and train hard, you might not get a second chance to make a first impression!
I vote for Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President.....Not!
The Springfield XD .45 ACP does not come in the subcompact 3" version.
The XD .45 ACP only comes in the 4" service/compact model with a 10 round compact magazine and a 13 round extended magazine which they advertise as two guns in one (compact and service).
The "tactical" model 5" XD does come in .45 GAP but that is not the same round as the ACP.
The XD subcompact 3" only comes in 9mm and .40 cal.
I just bought an XD9sc in OD green and with Big Dot tritium night sights but it has not arrived yet. (60 days).
I have shot the 4" XD compact and really love it.

Well, the compact XD45 is still a big gun at 7.3", there are smaller .45s, & sub-compact .45s with shorter barrles.

I don't think you will go wrong with the XD. I have the .45 ACP in the Service model and am thinking seriously about getting the Compact model as well. The budget request is before the appropriations committee right now.

Held the Compact 45 for the first time yesterday and if I wasnt getting a 1911 soon then it would be on the shelf of my gunsafe or on my waist. It is a very neat pistol and as soon as my friend buys his, I'm gonna get to see how it shoots, LOL (Gotta love when a friend buys a new pistol).
"Respect all ... Fear none!!!
Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you get the compensator slits on the slide and the holes in the barrel of the subcompact XD in .40?
If that's the case (which I believe it is but I might be confusing the XD with the S&W M&P (after awhile they all start to look alike)), you could get the subcompact .40 (which does have a bit more kick to it than the .45) and then get the compensator cuts in the slide and barrel to compensate for the recoil.
But then again, I may be completely talking out of my butt and be talking about an entirely different gun.. It's possible... I'm tired...

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
I picked up an XD45 compact Friday and made my first trip to the range today. 125 rounds and not a single hiccup of any kind. The trigger feels just a little gritty but I think that will smooth out with some more rounds through it. I love being able to switch from compact grip to full length. It looks like it is going to conceal well with the short grip. The only problem I had with it is when switching between the full length mag and short mag it changed my point of impact on the target at 25 yards.At 15 or 7 yards it was not noticeable. I am shooting about three inches low with the full length mag at 25 yards. Looks like I may have to work on my grip a little. All in all I really like this pistol. If it continues to function as well as it did today it will become my EDC. I hope this helps with your decision.

i have the 4" in .45 and have no problem with them.
I was only going by the .pdf Custom Work Order sheet supplied by Springfield Armory list of custom work done in their custom shop.
The website you listed www.xdpistols.com ? is that part of Springfield Armory or a custom shop who does work on XD's?
Anyways... there is certainly no problem finding a place to do good "porting" on the XD.
