This is a pretty good computer, but it is pretty limited, and for the price you can get a computer with more functions. It's also pretty bulky, which, aesthetically speaking, bugs me a little.

Comments about Knog N.E.R.D. 5-Function Computer:
Great little computer, it only has the basic 5 functions but for the money I cannot complain. I was worried about the wireless working correctly at this pricepoint but it has outperformed wireless computers that have cost more then 3x its cost. I also love the ability to port this computer to other bikes, it easy to set and change tire sizes quickly.

The mounting system is useless for anything but an occasional stroll down the street. The rubber band like straps do not hold the computer or sensor firmly in place. They wiggle out of place and fall off.

First off, I'd like to say that I like the 5.0 Holy Paladin. For the most part it looks like it will play the same as the 4.2/4.3 Holy Paladin, and that's good. However, I have a small concern, and that is the fact that Hammer of Wrath is going to be Retribution-only.
Hammer of Wrath is an extremely fun ability. It always has been. I remember when it was first introduced, and it has always had a spot on my bars since that time.
It's definitely not a necessary ability for Holy. But you know, when it's the end of a tense fight, down to the last 10% with the enrage timer coming up, being able to throw a few Hammers of Wrath at the boss is extremely fun. It feels like you are contributing even more. It hits hard, but has a cooldown so you can't abandon your healing.
I don't really know how to phrase it well. It's the perfect ability at the perfect time. Our dps is terrible, but when things go down to the wire, Hammer of Wrath allows us to step up, like the ace up our sleeve.
I'm sure every long-time Holy paladin has a story about the one time the boss hit enrage with 2% left and people were dying left and right so you bubbled and flung a Hammer of Wrath for the kill.
And even if you've never done that, there's always the hope that someday, somehow, it will happen. That you'll need to step up and drop the boss with Hammer of Wrath.
Even in PvP, it's quite fun. I've always enjoyed sniping killing blows with Hammer of Wrath.
I guess I'm just saying that as a Holy Paladin I love Hammer of Wrath. I know it's not essential to healing, and may even cause small balance issues. But it is just plain fun, and I think the spec will be poorer for its loss.
I urge Blizzard to consider giving Holy access to Hammer of Wrath in Mists of Pandaria.

[Mists of Pandaria] Hammer of Wrath
First off, I'd like to say that I like the 5.0 Holy Paladin. For the most part it looks like it will play the same as the 4.2/4.3 Holy Paladin, and that's good. However, I have a small concern, and that is the fact that Hammer of Wrath is going to be Retribution-only.

The Hammer of Wrath button is my favourite button. I love everything about it. The animation, the sound effect, the drunk dwarves in Wildhammer Stronghold who hit each other with it, everything.
This is glorious, starting from about 14:00, a continuous stream of hammers.
The talent/ability preview points to a direction for Paladins of removing nearly all "off-spec" abilities (Exo and HoW Ret only, only one cast-time heal for prot/ret). Meanwhile Druids are getting new abilities that make them more effective in off-spec roles. This makes me a bit annoyed.

Yeah I'm a little concerned with this move toward making abilities spec-specific. They are kind of doing the same thing with priests -- i.e. making divine hymn for Holy spec only, and the mana regen one (forget the name) discipline spec only.

I'd be really disappointed if this change went through. It's probably my favorite spell in the game. As a holy pally, I too am using it often. I'd like to think my hammers are the reason we kill a boss close to an enrage timer, or if people are dying close to the end of the fight. It's probably not as important as it feels, but there is something special about chucking hammers.

Still hungry? Listen to more Hunger Games.
©2009 Suzanne Collins; (P)2009 Scholastic, Inc.
"Collins expertly blends fantasy, romance and political intrigue (so who needs vampires?)." (People Magazine)
"Catching Fire not only lived up to my high expectations, it surpassed them. It's just as exciting as The Hunger Games, but even more gut wrenching, because you already know these characters, you've already suffered with them." (Stephenie Meyer)
"...enough action to please Hunger Games fans and leaves enough questions tantalizingly unanswered for readers to be desperate for the next installment." (School Library Journal, starred review)
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Dissent Rules"
Katniss and Peeta return triumphantly to District 12. After 6 months, they embark on a tour around the other districts as dissent and tensions rise. An outraged President Snow concocts a special treat for the 75th Hunger Games.
This book is slow to start with the "couple" touring on the train and adjusting to living in their victors' houses in a separate village while the townspeople continue to exist in squalor. The love triangle grows more complicated with Gale now back in the picture. Mid-way through, the story gains speed with an interesting twist and never stops. Couldn't download the third quickly enough.
My only complaint is how old the narrator sounds. I grew accustomed to it in the first book and it doesn't detract too much from the fantastic story.
I've recently returned from living and working in Alaska. I, my beautiful two dogs, and wonderful three cats travelled together.
After the Hunger Games which was a one of a kind work, both sequels Catching Fire and MockingJay are interesting reads but fall short of the thrilling, imaginative caliber of Hunger Games. They would be more enjoyable if one did not compare them to Hunger Games.
"Even better the second time..."
I loved this book and I will talk about content, but first I must give praise to the audio itself. I often read the books before I listen to them, so I don't expect to be so spellbound by the audio. However, with this book, the narrator (Carolyn McCormick) is great and helps to engage me even more than when I read it myself. I had listened to the first book "The Hunger Games" before reading the second, it had the same narrator, and I could hear here voice in my head as I read. I made a point of listening to both back to back and it was pure pleasure. In "Catching Fire", I found myself laughing and crying with the book. The narrator is consistent and spot on with her inflections and voicing.
Now for content, I had been anticipating this second book in the trilogy since the moment I finished the first. It continues just a short time after the first and covers all that has happened in between and then continues on with the story Suzanne Collins so expertly weaved. The book is perfectly title as it descibes exactly how the temperment of the Districts has developed. I don't want to spoil it for people with too much. The love triangle between the Katniss, Peeta and Gale is further fleshed out, but, of course, is not resolved. The author does a wonderful job of this, and I, myself, can't even decide who is the one to choose, I can't take sides.
I don't know how helpful this review will be, but I cannot praise this book enough. It left me more than eager for the final book and I am sure that I will need to read it again in the mean time.
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." - Jojen Reed. #ADanceWithDragons
"Seamless continuation from previous title"
One thing I must say between books 1 and books 2 of the Hunger Games books is how seamless they seem to flow into each other. As most would agree, the first Hunger Games was excellently put together so a continuation was very much welcomed.
The narrator grew on me, she did a very good job voicing the different characters that are introduced (which were quite a few). She did very well to show the tortured nature of the characters in this book.
Catching Fire introduces a lot of very interesting new characters I must say. The tyranny of the Capital and of Snow becomes even more evident in the title. The story progresses very quickly I find and certain aspects of the book seems a bit rushed if you ask me, however much was not lost in this title and it was very much enjoyed.
"Engrossing story, terrible narration"
I can't really add much to the reviews of the story that have been previously written here. It is suspenseful, interesting, and made two days of a road trip much more interesting. I look forward to the third book, except I won't be listening to it from Audible. The narration here, by Carolyn McCormick, was simply dreadful. Katniss is alternately a world-weary 50-year-old, and a whiny 10-year-old - and not as a point of character fluctuation but of wildly shifting narration. At points in the story where Katniss might be serious, she is simpering; sarcasm comes across as self-doubt. It's amazing what a voice can or cannot do for a character. Other characters also did not fare well; McCormick seemed to have not read the "stage directions," so a solemn remark sometimes came out as a shout. By the end, I was gritting my teeth in frustration and sometimes outright laughing at the terrible, erratic vocalization.
The story is quite interesting, though, and I will look for it in another form elsewhere.
"The first one is quite good"
I will try not to give anything away and simply say that I'm not as enthralled with this one. I cannot believe in the story, in the decisions of the characters, in the logical progression - I expected more sooner, or if not more, than an explanation of why the characters would choose the way that they did, especially the main character and the rest of the tributes.
"Great story but a narrator that does not fit"
I read the first book in this series and couldn't put it down. I decided to listen to the second one so I could get back to having a life instead of reading non stop. I had a very hard time getting past the narrator. She's a good reader. She would be fine reading a different book but she does not fit this character at all. I don't understand why in the world they selected her for this series. It's incredibly distracting and takes a great deal away from the story. I would give this book four stars if the narrator was different.
"what a ride"
Well, she did it. The author made the 2nd as good as the first.
It is quite an emotional ride, the characters are even more engaging than they were in the first book.
There are some developments to the story that you expect after reading the first, but there are also some great surprises.
Being that it is told in first person, it was very important to keep the same narrator and I am glad they did.
- AND you should be warned.
If you are in it for this one than you are *definitely* in it for the next!
(I hate waiting for the next in a good sequel, Ms Collins, please hurry...)
"great story, dreadful narrator"
I enjoyed reading this series, so did my 14 year old daughter, so thought we would get the audio books to listen to. Sadly, the narrator just doesn't do it justice. She sounds like a robot, and sounds FAR too old to believably convey the characters of Katnis & co - she makes Katnis sound like a 40 something stepford wife!
I still recommend the recording for those who can't/won't read the books. My daughter enjoyed listening but would laugh out loud now and then at the dreadful narration. Listen to the sample - if you can handle it, go for it!
"Maintains the tension, but ends in a cliffhanger"
If you liked the first book, "The Hunger Games," you will like the sequel. It keeps up the gut-wrenching tension despite its predictability, just like the first book. Although most of the new characters introduced are not as engaging as those we met in book one, you will grow to like some of the returning characters even more.
Katniss continues to be a bit slow to figure out things that will be immediately obvious to the reader, and the ending is easy to see coming. However, it's hardly an ending at all; the last sentence may as well have been "To be continued..."
I still think Carolyn McCormick's narration is a bit too chipper at times, and Katniss in particular sounds entirely too breathlessly girlish when she's fighting for her life.
"Really addictive!"
First of all, let me just say that I love the narrator Carolyn McCormick. She's doing a great job and I love her voice, tone and rhythm for the Hunger games series! This first part of the second book was not as action packed as the first Hunger Games, but it was not in the least uninteresting. I wanted to keep listening until it was done! I am also very excited about the second part of the recording which promises all the action to come. I think this book was really enjoyable - would recommend it.
"Fantastic series"
I'm really enjoying these audio-books. They are wonderfully read, and very well written. I think Suzanne Collins did a great job with the characters, especially Katniss. And just when I think I know how the story is going to go, she goes in a completely different direction.
"A gripping listen"
So, I already own the paperback and have recently purchased The Hunger Games on audiobook, so the next step would be to acquire this one, the second in the trilogy. A great Narrator makes this a much more enjoyable listen than some I've come across. We have listened to it a few times now and think it will become a great addition to our audio library.
"It gets interesting..."
This books needs no introduction. You can't not read it if you've read the Hunger Games. My comment is specific to the audible version: Carolyn McCormick does a fine job with the reading. Her voice adapts well to all the different characters so it's always pretty clear who's talking. The slightly husky tone to her voice adds an edge to the prose, and definitely makes you feel that you're listening to more than a kids' book. A pleasure to listen to.
"A thoroughly gripping book"
I would surely listen to Catching Fire again. the story is fast-paced, the characters are well developed, the language is beautiful and the symbolism in the story is impossible not to get inspired by.
The mere thought of drawing a parallell between the symbolism in this book and the rampant development of entertainment in the modern world is gripping.
No, I have not.
The story itself makes my heart race. The overall theme of the book is a mix of inspiring and depressing (in a good way!)
Nope, I'm good.
"Not as good as the first book"
The first book is so gripping that I can't imagine not reading this second installment, but, although decent, it wasn't anywhere near as good as the first book. Katniss lacks the cleverness that got her through the first games and the plot contains too much same old same old to make it special.
"Catching Fire"
This was as good as the Hunger Games,but i never exspected the ending like it was cannot wait to listen to the final book.
"Bit of bridge to the fantastic 3rd book"
As I've found with most trilogies the 2nd book tends to be a bit of a bridge betwen the excitement of the first book and the climax and thrill of the 3rd book. This one is a bit of a scene/background setter ready for the 3rd book, but is still unput-downable and is completely believable for a future American world
"Predictable - but still very entertaining"
As equally enjoyable as the first
Story – 3.5/5
Once again I found this story very entertaining, and I couldn't switch it off. The only reason for not giving a very high score is down to a few issues that didn't detract from my own enjoyment, but may do for others.
Catching Fire has followed on very nicely from the first book. It flows smoothly from the end of the first novel and the plot is equally, if not even more, intriguing than the first book.
I found the story to be incredibly predictable throughout. I am not sure if the small hints to how the book was going to end were supposed to be as obvious as I found them, but the ending didn't have quite the impact that it could have had for me.
Once again, it is the little details that make this trilogy enjoyable. The known characters are developed further quite nicely with a few more intriguing characters entering into the mix. Whenever little snippets of history were told about these characters history, I was always left wanting more.
As with the first book, I didn't find the love elements of the story very convincing, and there is more of it in this book if it bugged you in the first. I personally still didn't find it putting me off.
Performance – 4/5
Carolyn McCormick is an excellent voice actor and narrator. If you enjoyed her in the first, you will enjoy her in this. All characters had distinctly recognisable voices, and she was able to portray the emotions of them very well throughout.
There were still the same issues of younger characters seeming too whiney at times by over elongating and over emphasising some words, but again, this may be a fault of the writing, and not the narrator.
Overall – 3.5/5
"Not the best"
I've listened to the first book and was enthralled.
It was a little too recap heavy for me. It was also repetitive and this lost some of my interest. It seemed like a bridge to the final book. I also lost some of my support for Katniss she seems to be very self absorbed in this book.
I was not fond of the Katniss' voice, it sounded a little weak and whiny, which I'm sure was not the intention for the heroine of the story.
Yes it was worth the listening time.
I afraid I'm not going to listen to the third book in the trilogy but I'm sure it will tie up lots of lose ends. I just fear it will be another chance to revisit the old plot and stories.

Vinyl Tiles
Vinyl Tiles: Vinyl tiles are affordable and popular, but you need to watch out for texture if you're looking for a low-maintenance floor. Some vinyl tiles are made with tiny indents as part of their patterning, which can trap dirt and require a lot of scrubbing with elbow grease to get clean. If you decide to go with vinyl tiles and want to avoid this problem, make sure you look for vinyl tiles with an enhanced urethane coat finish made specifically to keep vinyl clean with minimal sweeping and washing.

Sultan teen battling disease gets VIP tour of Cabelas
Sultan teen battling disease gets a VIP tour of Cabela's
Genna Martin / The Herald
Mark Marchetti (left) and family friend Bob Simpson (right) go over gun safety rules with Christopher Butler, 15, while on a special VIP tour of the Tulalip Cabela's store on Friday. Butler was diagnosed with Huntington's disease several years ago, and Cabela's teamed up with Simpson to send him on an elk hunting trip in Oregon.

Genna Martin / The Herald
Christopher Butler, 15, receives casting lessons from Cabela's fishing pro Mike Bishop while on a special VIP tour of the Tulalip Cabela's store on Friday.
Christopher, 15, of Sultan, has juvenile Huntington's disease, a terminal condition that affects a person's ability to think, talk and move.
He had been talking about wanting to go elk hunting, which his grandmother and guardian, Karen Falk, mentioned to a few people at her church.
One thing led to another and soon, the Tulalip Cabela's and other organizations had it all planned out, including a tour of the store with quick tutorials from staff members on pitching a tent, casting a fishing line, tying a fly, bow hunting, calling elk and firearm basics.
A hunt is planned for this fall in Oregon.
Christopher was asked how he felt when he walked through the door to cheers and high-fives from the staff.
"Excited," he said.
Bob Simpson, who belongs to Falk's church, also is a member of the Seattle branch of Safari Club International, a hunting organization. Simpson approached Cabela's and set up the store tour. Arrangements were made with Eden Ridge Outfitters of Myrtle Point, Ore., to take Christopher on the trip.
Safari Club International is footing the entire bill for the trip, estimated at about $2,000, group member Wade Winder said.
In-kind contributions include donations of clothing and equipment from Cabela's and the services of the taxidermist who mounts the animals at the Cabela's store in Lacey. Altogether the trip will be worth about $4,000, Winder said.
Christopher will be closely supervised on the outing, but when the group encounters an elk, he'll be the one to bring it down.
"He's going to do the trigger pulling," Simpson said.
Falk expressed joy and gratitude for all that is being done for her grandson.
"This is amazing," she said during Friday's tour.
Huntington's disease causes degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, affecting a person's functional abilities and usually results in movement, cognitive and psychiatric disorders, according to the Mayo Clinic website.
Christopher's brother, Lucas, died from the disease earlier this year, Falk said. He was 21.
The inherited condition most often strikes adults in their 40s or 50s, according to the Mayo Clinic, but also can strike children.
When it does, the disease progresses faster. It's usually fatal within 15 years of the onset of symptoms, according to Falk -- or, in Lucas' case, five.
Christopher's symptoms began appearing about two years ago, Falk said.
"We're still praying for a cure," she said.

A Northwoods elementary student was still recovering Friday after being hit by a car Wednesday afternoon while walking home from school.
Shykeim Davis, 9, of
Shykeim was walking home from
"I was crossing the road when a car came out of nowhere. I don't remember what happened after that," Shykeim said. He sat in a wheelchair in his grandparents' living room, which had been made into a temporary recuperation area for him including the sofa being converted into an easy-access bed.
Shykeim, who has lived with his grandparents since he was 1, had deep abrasions on his face and forehead and bandages on his left elbow and both knees. He seemed to be in pain and drowsy Friday while playing X-Box and eating a plate of chicken.
After the wreck he was transported to
"The doctors, the nurses, everyone at the hospital were just great," his grandmother said.
She said Shykeim was doing better Thursday but then couldn't sleep at all Thursday night.
"I think he's reliving the whole thing when he closes his eyes,"
The entire family is reliving a nightmare of sorts.
In 1998, the Carltons' 4-year-old –daughter, Shauquana Alysia Carlton, was hit and killed by a car after darting into the path of an oncoming car. She was trying to join other students on the other side of
She was hit a few yards from her home.
Shykeim's grandmother said the ordeal reminded her of the death of her daughter.
"I've been crying for days," she said. "But I don't want Shykeim to see me crying."
His grandfather, Morris Carlton, said all he could think about when he heard Shykeim had been hit was that he was dead like Shauquana.
"It was nearly identical circumstances," Morris Carlton said. "I am so happy we didn't lose him too."
The site of the wreck is just down the street — within eyesight — of the Carltons'
Shykeim, like Shauquana, failed to yield to oncoming traffic, according to police reports.
Wanda Tucker, of
Shykeim's classmates made get-well cards for him, which a school official brought to him Friday.
He has a follow-up doctors' appointment Wednesday.
Morris Carlton said he asks all motorists to slow down and pay attention to children near the roadways.

Think of them as "the good guys" and "the good girls."
Insects such as lacewings, lady beetles and flower flies.
We're delighted to see that the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation has just published a 250-page book on "Farming with Native Beneficial Insects."
The book advocates the use of beneficial insects to prey upon crop pests, thus "reducing or eliminating the use of pesticides," say co-authors Eric Lee-Mäder, Jennifer Hopwood, Mace Vaughan, Scott Hoffman Black, and Lora Morandin.
"This comprehensive guide describes how to recognize these insects and their habitat, and how to evaluate, design, and improve habitat for them," they write. They offer specific solutions, including native plant field borders, mass insectary plantings, hedgerows, cover crops, buffer strips, beetle banks, and brush piles.
The much-acclaimed book, available for purchase on the Xerces website, is drawing well deserved accolades, including this one from Claire Kremen, professor and co-director of the Berkeley Food Institute, University of California, Berkeley:
"If you are a grower or a backyard gardener, this is a 'must have.' Readable and filled with gorgeous photos and handy charts, this book provides reams of information about how to get the upper hand on your pest issues with reduced or no pesticide use."
Xerces officials say the release of Farming with Native Beneficial Insects coincides with its launch of a new nationwide workshop series on natural pest control: the Conservation Biological Control Short Course. The course, to begin in the West and Midwest, "provides farmers, crop consultants, and government farm agency staff with a comprehensive, hands-on training in the natural pest management strategies described in the book. A similar workshop model previously offered by Xerces trained tens of thousands of people in farm communities across the U.S. to conserve bees and restore pollinator habitat, and helped facilitate the restoration of more than 100,000 acres of wildflower habitat for bees."
Speaking of "the good guys" and "the good girls," be sure to read the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management Project's website on beneficial insects and natural enemies. The natural enemies include assassin bugs, bigeyed bugs, brown lacewings, convergent lady beetles, damsel bugs, dustywings, syrphid flies and twicestabbed lady beetles.
What is Integrated Pest Management (IPM)? "Integrated pest management uses environmentally sound, yet effective, ways to keep pests from annoying you or damaging plants. IPM programs usually combine several pest control methods for long-term prevention and management of pest problems without harming you, your family, or the environment. Successful IPM begins with correct identification of the pest. Only then can you select the appropriate IPM methods and materials."
UC IPM points out:
- Many pests can be managed without the use of pesticides.
- Use pesticides only if nonchemical controls are ineffective and pests are reaching intolerable levels.
- Use pesticides in combination with the methods described above.
- Choose pesticides carefully. Use the least toxic, most effective material to protect human health and the environment.
- Examples of least toxic insecticides include:
- Soaps;
- Oils; and
- Microbials such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and spinosad.
The more we learn about pests and the natural enemies of pests, the oft-heard quote, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" rings quite true. The more we learn about our enemies, the less likely they will be able to harm us.
We can expect some exciting research to emerge from the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI).
And UC Davis pollination ecologist Neal Williams, an assistant professor in the Department of Entomology, is a part it.
Williams and postdoctoral fellow Claire Brittain of the Williams lab will be participating in the SCRI's annual team and advisory committee meeting, to be held Jan. 17-19 in Gainesville, Fla.
Williams is a co-project director of Aspire Project: Augmenting Specialty Crop Pollination Through Integrated Research and Education for Bees, a coordinated agricultural project funded by SCRI. Williams serves as the project leader for habitat enhancement for bees and a co-leader of a project seeking alternative managed bees for almonds.
The meeting will be the first "all-hands-on-deck" meeting to discuss plans for the first field season; to coordinate collection and curation techniques; and to obtain feedback from the Advisory Committee Tentative Plan, according to Rufus Isaacs, berry crops entomology Extension specialist at Michigan State University, Lansing, Mich.
Isaacs directs the Aspire Project for Bees and is the principal investigator of the $1.6-million SCRI grant. (See news release.)
In addition to Williams, the co-project directors are Theresa Pitts-Singer, research entomologist, USDA-ARS Pollinating Insects Research Unit, Department of Biology. Logan, Utah; Mace Vaughan, pollinator program director, Xerces Society, Portland, Ore; and Mark Lubell, Sociology of Sustainability, UC Davis Department of Environmental Science and Policy.
Project Team members are investigating the performance, economics, and farmer perceptions of different pollination strategies in various fruit and vegetable crops. These include complete reliance on honey bees, farm habitat manipulation to enhance suitability for bees, and use of managed native bees alone or in combination with honey bees. The Project Team has a strong outreach focus, said Isaacs, and will deliver its findings to specialty crop agriculture through various diverse routes of traditional and new media, including the Aspire website.
"Our long-term goal is to develop and deliver context-specific Integrated Crop Pollination (ICP) recommendations on how to most effectively harness the potential of native bees for crop pollination," says Isaacs on the Aspire website. "We define ICP as: the combined use of different pollinator species, habitat augmentation, and crop management practices to provide reliable and economical pollination of crops. This approach is analogous to Integrated Pest Management in that we aim to provide decision-support tools to reduce risk and improve returns through the use of multiple tactics tailored to specific crops and situations. By developing context-specific ICP programs, this project will improve sustainability of U.S. specialty crops and thereby help ensure the continued ability of growers to reap profitable returns from their investments in land, plants, and other production inputs."
The project objectives are five-fold:
- to identify economically valuable pollinators and the factors affecting their abundance.
- to develop habitat management practices to improve crop pollination.
- to determine performance of alternative managed bees as specialty crop pollinators.
- to demonstrate and deliver ICP practices for specialty crops.
- to determine optimal methods for ICP information delivery and measure ICP adoption
Two other UC-affiliated scientists are involved with the Aspire program: Karen Klonsky, Cooperative Extension specialist with the UC Davis Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics; and Claire Kremen, pollination ecologist and professor at UC Berkeley.
All hands on deck!
An international research team has been researching honey bee pollination of almonds in the three-county area of Yolo, Colusa and Stanislaus since 2008, and what these scientists have discovered is astounding.
The bottom line: Honey bees are more effective at pollinating almonds when other species of bees are present.
The research, "Synergistic Effects of Non-Apis Bees and Honey Bees for Pollination Services,"published in the Jan. 9th edition of the Proceedings of the Royal Society, could prove invaluable in increasing the pollination effectiveness of honey bees, as demand for their pollination service grows.
So when honey bees are foraging with blue orchard bees and wild bees (such as bumble bees and carpenter bees), the honey bee behavior changes, resulting in more effective crop pollination, says lead author Claire Brittain, a former post-doctoral fellow from Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany and now associated with the Neal Williams lab at the University of California, Davis.
"These findings highlight the importance of conserving pollinators and the natural habitats they rely on," Brittain says. "Not only can they play an important direct role in crop pollination, but we also show that they can improve the pollination service of honey bees in almonds."
Where did this project originate? In the UC Berkeley lab of conservation biologist/professor Claire Kremen, recipient of a MacArthur Foundation (Genius) Award. Also an associate of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, Kremen works closely with the department's bee scientists at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility.
Brittain, Kremen, Klein and pollination ecologist Neal Williams, assistant professor of entomology at UC Davis (he joined the team in 2010), co-authored the research.
"This is one of our first demonstrations on how to increase the efficiency of honey bee pollination through diversification of pollinators," Williams said, pointing out that "With increasing demands for pollination-dependent crops globally, and continued challenges that limit the supply of honey bees, such strategies to increase pollination efficiency offer exciting potential for more sustainable pollination in the future."
Yes. California's almond acreage is rapidly increasing. Seems like only a few years ago it was 600,000 acres and now it totals 800,000. Each acre requires two bee hives for pollination, but honey bee-health problems have sparked new concern over pollination services.
As Kremen says: "Almond is a $3 billion industry in California. Our study shows that native bees, through their interactions with honey bees, increase the pollination efficiency of honey bees--the principal bee managed for almond pollination--and thus the amount of fruit set."
What's next? "The project is ongoing and we plan to investigate further the mechanism behind the increased effectiveness of honey bees when other bees are present," Brittain says. "We are also going to be looking at how to enhance floral resources for wild bees in almond orchards."
Meanwhile, watch Professor Klein's UC Davis Department of Entomology seminar, presented in February 2010, when she lectured on "Can Wild Pollinators Contribute, Augment and Complement Almond Pollination in California." It drew widespread interest and a capacity crowd. Click on this link: https://admin.na4.acrobat.com/_a841422360/p37649788/ to hear more.
It's not your average garden variety calendar.
It's absolutely bee-utiful.
Native bees reign supreme in "Garden Variety Native Bees of North America," a calendar produced by University of California alumni as a benefit for two non-profit organizations.
The perpetual calendar, the work of native bee enthusiast Celeste Ets-Hokin and entomologist/photographer Rollin Coville, both of the Bay Area, features native bees found throughout North America, including the leafcutter bee, bumble bee and sweat bee.
The macro photography is simply stunning. Through these photos, you can get up close and personal with bees you may never have even noticed. The ultra green sweat bees are especially spectacular.
Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis, provided "considerable insight into the biology and ecology of several native bee genera," said Ets-Hokin.
Also contributing extensively were UC Berkeley faculty members Gordon Frankie and Claire Kremen. Frankie shared his extensive knowledge of native bees in urban gardens. Kremen provided crucial information on native bee crop pollination services, based on her studies in Yolo County.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Great Sunflower Project, a national pollinator monitoring and conservation program based in San Francisco, and the Portland, Ore-based Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, which protects native bees and their habitat throughout the United States.
Each native bee comes complete with information, such as the genus, common name, pollen/nectar sources, emergence time, nesting habit, and distinguishing characteristics.
For instance, you'll learn that bumble bees are excellent crop pollinators; they pollinate such crops as tomatoes, cranberries and blueberries better than honey bees.
You can attract bumble bees to your own garden by planting such pollen/nectar sources as giant hyssop (Agastache); manzanita (Arctostaphylos), ceanothus (Ceanothus); California poppy (Eschscholzia), sunflower (Helianthus); and beard tongue (Penstemon).
It's all there--all there on the calendar.
Coville, who received his doctorate in entomology from UC Berkeley in 1978, has been photographing insects and spiders for more than 25 years. He is collaborating with Thorp and Frankie on a number of projects, including a book on urban bees. It's due out next year.
Ets-Hokin, a UC Berkeley zoology graduate, devotes her time to the public awareness and conservation of native bees. For the past several years, she has collaborated with the Alameda County Master Gardeners in establishing a native bee demonstration garden at Lake Merritt, Oakland.
Coville takes many of his images there and now he has Ets-Hokin hooked on photography.

If you're interested in native bees, you'll want to read the newly published University of California research article, "Tiny Saviors in Our Backyard."
Native pollinator specialists Robbin Thorp and Neal Williams of the UC Davis Department of Entomology are featured in the article as is conservation biologist Claire Kremen of UC Berkeley.
Author Erik Vance describes Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology, as "the patriarch of a rag-tag group of scientists who have pioneered research on non-honey bees that just may hold a solution to the world's pollination problems."
Williams' work with conservation biologist Claire Kremen of UC Berkeley involves monitoirng which native bees are effective on Yolo County farms.
It's great to see so much attention on native bees.
As Vance says, "Honey bees get most of the buzz, but some native bees are better at spreading pollen. They may hold the solution to world pollination problems that affect important crops."
Honey bees are often considered "native" bees but they are not. English explorers brought them to America beginning in the 1620s.
The Xerces Society of Invertebrate Conservation, based in Portland, Ore. (and celebrating 40 years of conservation this year), is rightfully pleased with the UC scientists' work.
"The work out at the UC is some of the best work in the country right now," Mace Vaughan, who oversees national pollinator work for Xerces, told Vance. "They are actually demonstrating the benefits."

With mega-earner Humira in its back pocket and a dearth of major patent expirations, Abbott seems well-positioned. Sales rose in 2011, and the company saw out-of-US sales take the lead in its revenue portfolio. In an April research note, Jefferies analyst Jeffery Holford called the company a top pick, citing "impressive top-line results" for its all-oral hepatitis C therapy (in Phase IIb) and positive earnings momentum. Abbott also managed to expand its Humira empire when the EU approved the drug to treat ulcerative colitis. Company plans also include dividing into two this year. The changeover will result in a diagnostics/devices firm called Abbott and a research-based pharma company named AbbVie, now up for sale.

Comments about Canari Vogue Women's Knicker:
I bought this for my wife and the first time she uses this knickers. The seams dont hold together and the threads on the waistline started to fall apart. I ordered small for her and it fits her perfectly. I returned it because for a sale price of $50 its not worth it.

Comments about Especially Yours Sebina Human Hair Wig by Vivica Fox:
I got this wig because I not only wanted a human hair wig, but because it was Remy hair which is a very good brand of hair. When I took the wig out of the box you could see staight thru it. And not only that the tracks was coming out. Looks nothing like the picture. Not worth the money. Will be returning this item today.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great product to help fit basically any direct mount front derailleur as if it was a normal clamp... As long as you don't have a 28.6 mm tube. Description says it fits all tube ODs but according to problem solver catalog it doesn't. I found out the hard way and still haven't resolved the issue.

Staff Writer
The third graduating class of Olentangy Orange High School is 325 members strong, the largest yet, and the first to have its members attend all four years at the school, a sentiment often repeated Saturday at the Celeste Center at the Ohio State Fairgrounds.
Members of the senior class cabinet, Angelina Cugini, Lindsay Spragg and Sydney Yochum reminisced about Aug. 24, 2008, the first day the students walked into their new school, destined to be the "pioneers of all four years."
The Olentangy Orange class of 2012 started a number of new clubs, including the Multicultural and Ping Pong clubs, as well as Invisible Children and garnered the most number of accolades during the senior awards night, truly making them the Pioneers, they said.
In his address to the students, superintendent Wade Lucas spoke about how in just four years, the school has rose to the ranks of the other Olentangy district schools, being recognized by U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek and the Washington Post as one of the top high schools in Central Ohio, the state and the nation.
Over four years, the Olentangy Orange senior class also logged 6,200 community service hours. About 90 percent of the class will go on to college and 2 to 3 percent will go into the military, Lucas said.
Orange's graduating class celebrates many successes, including 37 graduating Summa Cum Laude, 33 Magna Cum Laude and 23 Cum Laude students. Additionally, 86 students received the Presidential Award for Educational Excellence, 106 received the State of Ohio Honors Diploma, 150 received the State of Ohio Award of Merit and 83 members were in the National Honor Society.
The class valedictorians, Joseph Lee, Mariah Hazlett and Daniel Meyung, delivered their commencement speech together, as three different, but unified members of the class of 2012.
Lee told a story about how he is known for being "fashionably late," but most infamous for making his class late for its senior trip ride home from Cedar Point.
"Let's just say that a slushee and the Wicked Twister didn't mix too well," Lee said.
In being late, he also made Orange assistant principal Michelle Blackley mad, and she threatened to make him walk home if not back at the bus in four minutes, he said. After the incident, Blackley asked that Lee bring a signed note to ensure that he would arrive to graduation on time, or she would pick him up at 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
"Needless to say, my parents have been very bored the last two and a half hours," Lee said.
Meyung, known to the class as the Pioneer Pete mascot, talked about how the class initially hated the school mascot, a coon skin-capped, fur-fringed suit-wearing pioneer. The class expressed their frustration through their instant messenger and social media accounts, even petitioning the administration to change the mascot.
But, as they settled into school, they truly became the pioneers, blazing a trail for the students to come up in the ranks to follow, Hazlett said.
The class also did this with a positive attitude, giving their all in various sports and clubs and with a tremendous amount of pride, she said.
"Pride is definitely integral part of OOHS," Hazlett said.
The commencement ceremony also offered some of the students' musical talents. The Choraliers and The Varsity Singers performed "Seasons of Love" from Rent and Abbey Engelbach and Sarah Fulton sang "For Good" from Wicked.
The students also selected the Olentangy Orange-based band Evadell Drive to perform its new song "We Made It" at the ceremony.
A piece of the students' solidarity will remain at the high school through a senior gift, a customized bronze bust of the school's mascot, Pioneer Pete.

Exactly What I Was Looking For!
Our wedding colors are purple and black so, as you can imagine, I had a very hard time finding Save The Dates that weren't predominately white. This postcard was so perfect the only thing I changed was the orange lettering to silver lettering. My Mom absolutely loves them and we both agree they're of high quality. I can't wait to order my "Wall Of Love" invitations as they will match with this postcard perfectly!
great magnets
I loved being able to change my colors and personalize almost every aspect of the magnet. They really are great! The only thing I would have changed is making the print of ours names at the bottom bigger because there is a lot of extra space along the bottom of the magnet.
they came out gorgeous! couldn't be happier :)
Our colors are eggplant and steel, so these save the dates worked out great for us. We changed the orange lettering to grey, and voila! Perfect! We just wish they came in the smaller postcard size so we could have saved ourselves on postage, but other than that these are great.
Awesome Save-the-Date Magnets!
My fiancee and I love our save-the-date magnets!! The customizing tool was fairly easy to use and LOVE the designs to choose from! We cannot wait for our family & friends to receive them!
