I need some advice on my next smartphone. What do you have and like? Iphone, Android, Blackberry?

I am starting to look for a new smartphone. I need a phone that will sync with my office outlook calender and all my office contacts. I do a little internet browsing but not that much.  I like taking pictures and emailing them to myself for future use.


What do any Iphone users have to say, or should I look at an Android phone, or stay with new version of the Blackberry.


Any input would be appreciated, also what interesting things do you use your smartphone for, I am always interested to see what others have figured out.

It really depends on the use.  Yo need to ask yourself questions like:

-is the device for integrating all my media

-is the device for just phone an email

-what type of desktop, tablet, or laptop platform am I using currently or going o be using in the future.  

-do i have enterprise server needs?

Wheat midge – Overview

The wheat midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana) is found in most areas around the world wherever wheat is grown. In recent years, significant damage to wheat crops due to wheat midge has been reported in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, southern British Columbia, Minnesota, North Dakota and Idaho. All wheat varieties are currently susceptible to wheat midge, but some are more seriously affected than others. Although the midge also attacks other members of the grass family, including barley, couch grass, intermediate wheat grass and rye, infestations on these plants are usually not serious enough to warrant control. Research and breeding for wheat midge resistant wheat varieties is underway at the Cereals Research Centre (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Winnipeg) and the Crop Development Centre (University of Saskatchewan).
