...shear Maewyn just yet!
It's been a cold winter. Very cold. Unusually cold. So cold, we've busted numerous records.
Just last night, we had sub-zero temperatures. Cold is stressful. It's warming up nicely today, but as you can see, taking a fleece early would be selfish. This little lamb is very grateful for his mother's warmth! In prior years, I'd take the fleeces starting in February already. This year, we were having negative twenty below temps through the night in February! What a shock that would be to the ewe to have her lush fleece taken from her in a time of need!
As the days warm up and the nights moderate, the ewes are happy to make the trip to the beauty salon! Shetlands are very wooly sheep, and just like us shrugging off the layers and feeling greater mobility, the sheep also feel a sense of spring and happiness at shrugging off the thick, wooly, insulating layers that cover them.
We know that caring for our livestock well is important to today's customer, as it's on the minds of so many. Small family farms are capable of delivering the kind of care that huge producers just can't give. We've come to learn that even jacketed fleeces will still have tidbits of straw, hay, or grasses in them, not to mention other problems. We've decided that jacketing just jacks up the price of the wool (as the cost of coats can be expensive overall with various sizes needed, and washing), and deprives the moms of what they need to help their lambs get off to a great start. Sheep are seasonal breeders. They breed best when they lamb in cold temperatures. They need their fleeces here in the north until the grip of winter breaks. So far, I've only sheared three ewes, all intentionally not bred this year. I left half an inch of wool on them, as I plan on shearing them again in the fall. The rest will be sheared as the days warm up and I can't wait!!
Our fleeces are not perfectly VM clean, but we know now that our customers understand and don't mind. People LOVE sheep! and want the best for them! We do, too! I think the little lamb in the photo above surely thanks the wisdom of customers who buy our fleeces and yarns!
P.S. Maewyn's fleece mostly sold out very rapidly last season. I saved her britch wool for mittens for myself and I've been heavily reliant on their soft, cozy warmth during this most challenging winter. Her fleece won't be available this year until markets in June. If you'd like to enjoy Maewyn's luxury, stop by in those first couple of markets if you want to avoid being disappointed!

WWD Staff FLORENCE — Louis Vuitton has put its stamp on Florence with the opening of a global concept store, and it took the opportunity to show off its new Tambour watch line, which includes a limited-edition chronograph, the LV277.The retail spotlight was on the 5,400-square-foot, two-story store, located in Piazza Strozzi, in the heart of historic Florence. This store, opened late last month, is the company's second in Italy. It replaces the former boutique located on Via Tornabuoni here. Vuitton has 14 other boutiques in Italy that carry more limited product ranges.Based on estimates of $1,100 to $1,400 a square foot, the new site could ring up between $6 million and $7.5 million annually, according to analysts."History is one of the main assets of Louis Vuitton, so for this Florentine palazzo, we have adapted our architecture with artistic, artisan touches to better integrate with the context of this magnificent location," said Bernardo Sanchez Incera, president of Louis Vuitton fashion products for Europe.Architect Peter Marino converted the 18th-century Palazzo Mattei into the essence of the Vuitton universe, Italian style. Creamy ivory fabrics, punctuated with wood and polished avoria stone, create a living room-type space.In October, Vuitton introduced a limited-edition chronograph watch for the Louis Vuitton Cup sailing race called LV277. It rings in at $6,500 and is named for both the number of parts in the watch and for the number of watches actually produced. The LV277 has a see-through back to view all mechanical parts.The Tambour line, meanwhile, made its debut in mid-September in all of Vuitton's global stores, and sales are, so far, exceeding expectations, said Sanchez Incera. Retail prices range from about $1,200 to $2,500. Tambour watches have prominent window displays outside the new Florence store with bubble-like magnified areas for enhanced viewing.Louis Vuitton has been strategically developing its product range in recent months, and an eyewear deal is said to be in the works.

I have some old gems that are starting to get damaged by exposure to sunlight, heavy use, etc. I've always stored them in a portable bookcase near or in the kitchen, and the glued bindings are coming loose and the tops of the sewn bindings are tearing, where I pull them with my fingertip. I'm hoping paper covers will help save them so I can pass on the best ones.
I'm thinking of covering them (like we used to do with our high school textbooks) to protect them from further damage.
Do you cover/protect your cookbooks? How and Why, please.

Mission Reach TrailsSaturday, May 17, 2014
Now, I don't usually mind walking because of course it's a perfect way to get one place to another. But I hate walking just for the sake of it. Treadmills and racetracks make me feel like a hamster in a wheel. But ever since we've got Boyboy I've loved taking walks with him. I still feel like I'm doing something productive but at the same time it's still easy enough that I can think about the day ahead, the day before, or make up stories in my head.
We've been a few different places walking but I love walking down the new Mission Reach Trails.
I love the fact that a lot of the parks connect because when I start out at one and end up at another I feel even more accomplished.
I love seeing all the wildlife that don't normally hang around our backyard.
|Like the eyebrow caterpillars.
And the little duckies!
But the best part is how much my little boy loves it.
Everyone is also really nice along the trails. If you go at the right times you might even see some kayakers down the river or little kids fishing.
Now, not only does my boy look forward to our daily walks but I do too. I can't do anything else unless I've already walked him.

If pilgrimage is the conquest over the dangers, toils and snares of travel, rather than the arrival at journey's end, then pilgrims coming to Santiago de Compostela for the Feast of St James this year have had a stark and tragic reminder.
The Monteverdi Choir's Pilgrimage to Santiago was made in 2004 beginning in a wild plateau region of France and stopping to sing at significant places along the way to the shrine of St James in Spain. Alongside music by Dufay, Palestrina, Lassus, Morales and Victoria (Missa O Quam Gloriosum - How glorious is that kingdom where all the saints rejoice) is the raw medieval texture of the Codex Calixtinus from Santiago.
The Lord's Prayer, the first and most famous of Christian prayers, has a more contemporary ring, set by composers afresh in the 20th/21st centuries from Argentina's Fernado Moruja, Lithuania's Vytautas Miskinis, Rumania's Anton Pann, Finland's Ilmari Hannikainen and Russia's Yuri Sakhanovsky, as well as Britain's Sir John Tavener.
Both the Pilgrimage to Santiago and Lord's Prayer are uninterrupted contemplations.

Tobacco Use Prevention
Four Montanans die every day from tobacco-related diseases. And corporate tobacco spends more than $27 million a year to advertise tobacco products in Montana.
As a local contractor of the Montana Tobacco Use Prevention Program (MTUPP), at RiverStone Health, our mission is to address the public health crisis that is caused by the use of all forms of commercial tobacco products. Our goal is to reduce disease, disability, and death related to tobacco use by:
- Preventing tobacco use among young people
- Eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke
- Eliminating disparities related to tobacco use and its effects among certain population groups
- Encouraging adults and young people to quit
We promote the use of the Montana Tobacco Quit Line 1.800.784.8669 and the American Indian Commercial Tobacco Quit Line, which connects callers with American Indian coaches plus other tools and services, 1.855.372.0037.
Many of our efforts target keeping youth tobacco free. We work with area middle and high school age youth through reACT! Against Corporate Tobacco. reACT clubs meet to engage other youth and plan projects that educate the community about the harmful effects of tobacco.
The 7,000 chemicals found in commercial tobacco can be traced back to all stages of development, from growth, to production, to use. Check out the FDA's three videos on the life cycle of commercial tobacco products and watch this video to see five findings from the CDC's report on youth smoking.

Lost Again looks like a great bus. I envy you her anmd I would like to see some of interior, if possible. Thanks for the numbers and I find them very believable.
Were you at Rickreall? I didn't stop but I think I saw her there on the last day late. I did no more than cruise the lot but there were some nice busses and some that I think I recognized.
Again, thanks,

What RJ said about finding a junk yard 8V-71TA is a good one-although they are a rare bird since they came out about the same time as the 6V-92TA, with most using the 92 instead. The only difference between my non aftercooled originally naturally aspirated 8V-71 and the 8V-71TA is pistons and aftercooler. Since I'm using low boost, the two piece 18.7 pistons with transit rings work well. The engine starts faster when cold, I have the bypass blower like the turbo motor, and the air to air intercooler is WAY more cooling than the stock aftercooler under the blower in the V of the block. Personally-if you're going to do this as a winter project, I would use your existing engine and rebuild it up into a turbo with the air to air intercooler in the right engine door. The intercooler will take alot of heat off and if you go to a mild injector, like no bigger than a 75 like I have (some guys will go to 90's in the 8V-71), you'll have a very nice performing bus. Good Luck, TomC

The overheating problem that plagues many of our buses can often be traced back to poor maintenance and the amount of weight forced upon the throttle pedal under gravity-fighting operating conditions.
There's no reason you should have had to turn the coach around on that recent run, other than the fact you were probably pushing it too hard in too high a gear for the altitude. You say yourself that you were struggling to maintain 45 -55 mph. What was your hurry?? If you'd dropped another gear and kept the engine in the 1800-1900 rpm range on a
throttle, you'd have gone right on up and over without any problems. And all it would have cost you is a little time - maybe an additional 10 minutes or so.
I used to climb Baker grade out of Barstow, CA on the way to Las Vegas in MCIs equipped with your powertrain in the middle of summer with temps often over 100, and never once had one overheat on me. That also included the MC-9s that had 8V71 turbos hooked to the HT-754s. Why? Because you don't want it to shut down on you with 45 passengers on board in 100 degree weather, that's why. How? You go down another gear and enjoy the sights while keeping a mindful eye on the tach and the temp gauge. The folk on board might grumble a little, but they'd grumble a whole lot more if you were parked alongside the road with a hot engine. So you go slower in the right gear. . .
To add to the soapbox on the other end....I think its totally bogus that MCI developed such a poor cooling system. I have ran several detroit power units over the years that where stationary, screaming their guts out, blowing smoke, lugging ......you get the picture that never ever over heat. Unless the radiator is totally plugged up. One is almost 50 years old. Honestly if they where built right according to DD spec we should be able to hold the pedal down when ever where ever. That of course is not the case. Everything has to be in tip top shape and maybe a few band-aids put in place for good measure. I'm in the process of working with a heating issue with just a slightly older MCI. I'm going to try water/meth injection + a big trans cooler and see what happens. I have searched and pried and asked and nobody to my knowledge outside of the drag strip guys have used water/meth on a detroit. I have a 8v71n with brown 65 injectors. Tends to blow some smoke at WFO and as I found out yesterday the throttle linkage hinders that even. I have a 1/4" more to go!
The only time that I did not have heating issues is with a plugged fuel filter. The last thing I'm going to do is change injectors so don't mention it. The system that I'm putting together is going to deliever 12GPH@2500psi. Should wake it up if nothing else. It runs pretty good already. I'll keep everyone posted. Cross your fingers for the silver bullet.

In response to the earlier post about my inability to maintain a reasonable speed from Sterling to Denver. The whole reason I want to modify my 8V71 is that is not a reasonable speed when encountering a very slight grade in my opinion. The slowest you can legally drive that road is 40 and I know I dipped below that a number of times. But truth be told, I don't have a problem with the fact that I can't accelerate or clear the hill at 70 mph plus and I am constantly having to deal with lack of power with ANY grade at all, but a "reasonable" experience would be not having to stare at my temp gauge with white knuckles and pure fear every time I approach a long pull of any circumstance. I dropped the bus to first and I struggle to floor my accelerator under the best conditions, so I really think if anything I was babying my motor too much. I will not continue to own my bus if that is the experience I am going to go through everytime I want to go anywhere. I have avoided the mountains with both of my buses and have finally come to the conclusion that if there is an affordable alternative I would like to pursue it.
I have driven series 60 Prevosts up mountain grades and they are accelerating at the top of most of them. I don't think it's too much too ask of a bus/motor combo to at least not appear to be blowing up when you reach the top of any grade at 5 mph. We are driving north to Loveland later today and I am grateful that the drive there is fairly flat. Another 90 plus day here at the edge of the Rockies. I wish I could catch a temperature break , but it appreasr our drive back to Nashville this weekend will be ridiculously hot... Oh well...
I will drive my Detroit hard... I will drive my Detroit hard.

After reading the prior responses I'm going to suggest (sacrilege) if you are going to spend 13k+ (from TomC method)
you might consider going to a RTO 4 stroke........
At the 300hp range cat 3306 or Cummins LTA10 in factory configurations. The engines are fairly priced
at around 5k-7k (with dyno reports). You would probably also need a different tranny. Lots of choices but
would need to be shorter than the 700 series Allisons.
Just a thought.

I had the same problem as you when I had an MCI 8, 8V71, and traveled in the Rockies. (I had to run WOT, first gear, 19 MPH, to prevent overheating.) I then installed a truck 8V71T. There was a lot of change-over of parts on the engine. I took a lot of time, but I may have been too meticulous. I also changed to the "102 radiators" PN 6K-1-5 from Diesel Radiator in Chicago, small fan pulley (7 3/4" diameter, and large fans with the outlets opened-up. I got many of the parts at a local bus company in their own junk bus yard.
The aftercooler 8V71 blocks are hard to find.
TomC is one of the only air to air intercooled 2 cycle units I have heard of. I may be out-of-tune, but if there are more, there probably are not many. Theoretically, that is a good approach. However, I think you should install the intercooler somewhere other than the engine compartment, blowing out. The reason is that you are looking to cool the air. The air from the engine compartment has been heated by the radiators and the engine. You would gain more by pulling from a fresh air supply.
Even without aftercooling or air to air intercooling, you could get 350 HP, plus the advantage of the turbo in mountains at altitude.

Instead of using any air to air intercooler or aftercooler, I would suggest you go no higher than the N65 brown tag injectors-then you don't need the aftercooler. Then with a low boost-like 5psi, you'll have sea level performance like a normal 318 at any altitude. If my engine had performed like that, I would have been satisfied. The bigger injectors are nice, but using the smaller injectors (N65's) will still boost your power from 300hp and 800lb/ft to 325hp and 975lb/ft of torque. Good Luck, TomC

If you were to do that and use the N65 injectors with a turbo do you think that you would generate more or less heat compared to a natural with the same injectors? I'm thinking less heat and more power, just because your combusting all the fuel instead of blowing it out the valves/head. Correct me if I'm wrong.

With my limited experience, I'm thinking that you would generate more heat, because more air from the turbo will burn more fuel that would otherwise go out the exhaust as black smoke. More combustion makes more heat, which increases the velocity of the exhaust gases through the turbo turbine, which makes it draw more air with the compressor wheel to make more boost, etc, etc.
In practice, the turbo on my bus (same N65 injectors as before) hasn't increased temperatures noticably.

I know for a fact that less black smoke = less heat at the manifold. I do not know weather or not that puts the heat into the engine. I know the sled pullers and drag racers can reduce egt's with more boost. So kind of confusing thats why I asked.

That's mainly because- if you have no black smoke, all the combustion is happening in the combustion chamber. With black smoke, combustion is still happening when the valve opens and exhaust is still burning in the exhaust manifolds. Good luck, TomC

For the second year running Adele has taken top spot honours on ARIAs annual album chart with her third LP 25, which is now eight times platinum in Australia. Her previous two albums also featured in the top 100, with 21 at #29 and 19 hanging in at #93.
Adele's tri-peat effort was only matched by David Bowie who's final album, Blackstar, came in at #8 and a pair of greatest hits releases, Nothing Has Changed (The Best Of David Bowie) and Best Of Bowie, landing at #15 and #96 respectively.
While Keith Urban's Ripcord came in at #2, just one spot ahead of Beyonce's Lemonade — which Rolling Stone recently crowned as the year's best. Justin Bieber's Purpose, Christmas albums from Michael Buble and John Farnham/Olivia Newtown John and three separate soundtracks — Suicide Squad and TV shows Molly and Secret Daughter — filling out the rest of the top ten albums list.
Further back, and despite their late-2016 release, recent cover-story subjects, Metallica (#12) and The Rolling Stones (#22), both faired impressively. There was also a strong showing from local artists, including Flume (#16), Sia (#18), Rufus (#24), Matt Corby (#36), The Avalanches (#39), Violent Soho (#47), Troye Sivan (#60), Tame Impala (#69) and Vance Joy (#70). The complete list is available at the ARIA Charts website.

Survey Assesses The Internet's Contribution To Productivity
June 6, 2000
A new survey from the University of Texas sponsored by Cisco Systems says workplace efficiency and productivity have soared as companies start incorporating the Web into their day-to-day operations. The benefits of Internet use are just beginning and will make even greater contributions to productivity in the future.
- The latest report in the twice-yearly survey found that revenue associated with Internet-related employees jumped 19 percent from 1998 to 1999 -- and is expected to keep climbing.
- Companies integrating the Internet into their operations were 2.5 times more likely to see productivity gains and more than 2.5 times more likely to see market-share growth than companies not utilizing the Internet.
- The report cautions, however, that employees can cut into productivity by using the Internet for personal e-mails, stock trading, general surfing and shopping -- costing corporate American about $54 billion a year, according to Ted Ladd of the software firm Websense.
Experts say there is a lag time between innovation and realization of benefits, because it takes time for businesses to figure out how to streamline the process and maximize the benefits. Thus productivity gains from the Internet are expected to increase in the future.

I was able to get the trimmer for $230 to my door. =)
I've been running a FS46 for years and I recently needed to buy another trimmer just so that I can be more productive. I got the FS100RX I like it. It has a lot of power However I am 6'5" and the straight shaft really starts to get to me after about 5 minutes. I'm a fan of curve shafts because they're "taller" however I think that once I get aftermarket handle so I won't have to lean over so much I will love my Stihl FS100RX
I have a FS66 that I still use to this day. 15 bucks and nothing wrong with it. I bought a FS90 for back-up last year and I still haven't used it.
I figured the FS66 would have died by now as I run hedge trimmer, edger, tiller head and string head. The thing will scream with the hedge clippers on, and the last time I checked the exhaust port, the piston still looks new.
I have a FS66 also, if i had to guess it is about 18-20yrs old, still running like a champ. Bought a FS90r yesterday and now I will use the 66 as a back up. So far the 90 is great, lots of power compaired to the 66.
Best trimmer ever here =)
i got the stihl fs100rx and it is no doubt the best trimmer i ever bought. get a stihl straight shaft 4 mix and you should be fine

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Marte et arte
Motto Translation: By valour and skill.

By Lance McCarthy Lance McCarthy Lance McCarthy My 6-year-old has been honing his comedy skills, and discovered the impatient cow joke. You know this one? ***Spoiler alert*** I'm telling the joke now… "Knock Knock" "Who's there?" "Impatient Cow" "Impatient C–" (before the other person can say "who") "MOO!" I consider myself a humor connisseur, and this is still one of my favorite clean jokes. However, it goes from a "10" on the funny-o-meter to a "1" if the joker doesn't say "Moo" fast enough to interrupt the jokee. (Is "jokee" a word? It is now). My son doesn't get that it isn't just saying the right words, the joke is all about timing. Get the timing wrong, and the whole thing dies. That is the way it works with planning for a construction project too. My architect and I were me...

The ambitious project seems to cost much more than planned, and its completion has been delayed.

Well, let's say Julia wants to build a house: She commissions a construction company, generally choosing the one that makes the cheapest offer. The company starts building her house. However, the first problems occur quickly: material costs go up, the garage costs extra, and the planned terrace means getting a building permit which ...

Fantasy Basketball 2014-15: Waiver Wire Update 1/19
Fantasy Basketball Daily Leagues: Waiver Wire Picks and Advice for Today's Matchups
January 19, 2015
See the Latest Odds
We've got a really busy day of NBA games coming up over the next several hours, so it's a great time to give your fantasy basketball roster a glance. Let's check out some of the hot players off the waiver wire right now so that we can see if anyone's right for your lineup moving forward. Here's a closer look at the stats.
Matt Barnes, SF, Los Angeles Clippers: What a game Barnes had against Sacramento this past weekend. He posted 26 points and 10 rebounds in the win, along with four 3-pointers, an assist, a block and three steals.
Barnes is cruising right now and is pretty much a must-own everywhere. He has six double-digit scoring outings in his last seven outings and just seems to be getting better. He'll get Boston at home today.
USA TODAY Sports
Courtney Lee, SG/SF, Memphis Grizzlies: Speaking of hot players, Lee falls into that category lately. He put up 17 points, four 3-poiners, two rebounds and three assists in his last outing, which gives him four double-digit efforts in a row points-wise.
Lee hasn't scored fewer than 16 in any of the last four, so he's been a nice source of low-end points in fantasy. As long as he's getting minutes around the 30-mark or so, he's probably worth having.
Mo Williams, PG/SG, Minnesota Timberwolves: Williams tore up the fantasy ranks last week with his 52-point outing against the Pacers. He's cooled off a bit from there, obviously, but is still putting up decent numbers.
Williams had 13 points and three rebounds in Denver but also provided seven assists. He's a pretty good source of secondary stats if you can still get him. He'll be in Charlotte to finish off the team's road trip today.
Terrence Jones, SF/PF, Houston Rockets: Jones is a bit of an enigma at the moment, but due to some recent chatter, he's trending on the waiver wire right now. Here's what we know. He's supposedly in the "final stages" of his recuperation from that leg injury, but there's been no official timetable put forth or word on his status moving forward.
Be that as it may, if you're the optimistic type and you need forward help, Jones isn't a bad pickup at this stage. That said, no one knows what kind of minutes he'll be getting when he returns to the floor, so keep that in mind.
Alex Len, C, Phoenix Suns: Need some rebounding? Len's your guy right now. He posted 12 boards against the Timberwolves in his last outing, giving him four straight double-digit rebound outings.
Len is also delivering a fair amount of blocks and even a steal here and there, so he's been a very nice value for his level recently. No one seems to think he'll slow down much, so he seems like a safe bet.

You can keep your house comfortable and save energy by strategically adjusting your thermostat. Consider installing a programmable thermostat, which allows you to easily to set a schedule to maximize your savings.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you can save as much as 1% on your fuel bill for each eight hours you set the thermostat back one degree. That means that if you set your thermostat back each night from 70° to 65° while you sleep, you could add a blanket to your bed and save as much as 5% on your heating costs.
Or, if your family is out of the house at work or school during the day, keeping the house 10° or even as much as 15° lower when no one is home could result in significant savings.
By sealing air leaks in a home, an average household can cut 10% of its monthly energy bill.
If you want to learn even more about how to manage the specific energy consumption of your home, consider hiring a professional energy auditor to evaluate your home and identify all the inefficiencies. The long-term energy savings of your home should more than make up for the initial cost of the audit.
The energy expert will show you how low-cost improvements can improve your home's efficiency. And, the audit may suggest more expensive improvements, such as upgrading to energy-efficient appliances and high performance windows to help improve your heating bills.

There is indeed only 2 ways to close a TCP connection.
- The FIN 4 way handshake
- The RST
The FIN mechanism is the normal way of closing a TCP connection. You must understand that a TCP socket has a state machine underneeth. This statemachine is checked for each operation on the socket that happens. A close on a socket is called a halfclose. If you do this, it is like telling I have nothing more to send anymore. The state machine underneeth the socket is really going to check this, if you still were to try to send you will get error return codes.
The statemachine i am talking about is very well described over here with drawings ;-) http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_TCPOperationalOverviewandtheTCPFiniteStateMachineF-2.htm
The TCP/IP guide is an online book, also the RST scenario's that can happen are described in that book, as is the sliding window mechanism, byte acking, nagle and many other things. And not just for TCP, other protocols as well.

The Fossil Record of Insect Diversity and Disparity
The fossil record of insects documents a high proportion of modern higher-level taxa (67% for families), although this capture rate drops off considerably for lower-level taxa. This record is Lagerstatten-driven, and is deployed by complementary, parallel body- and trace-fossil components that reveal a wealth of taxonomic and ecological detail. A family-level analysis of this record shows that past insect diversity is governed by low origination and extinction rates, both decreasing toward the Recent. This feature, in addition to prolonged taxal durations, has conferred on insects significant immunity from extinction. Nevertheless, the most profound event in insect history, the end-Permian extinction, decimated the Paleozoic Insect Fauna but allowed survival of lineages that gave rise to the Modern Insect Fauna of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Past insect ecomorphologic disparity can be documented as feeding attributes from the trace- and body-fossil records. Three such attributes are assessed in the insect fossil record: mouthpart class, functional feeding group, and dietary guild, which collectively are divided into 74 distinctive categories. A plot of durations of these categories discloses a distinct trend of ecomorphologic disparity peaking considerably earlier than taxonomic diversity, indicating that taxonomic diversification eventually partitioned earlier-created, major ecological roles. Entry into each of these categories has occurred iteratively and convergently between and within the Paleozoic and Modern Insect Faunas. Insect history is divided into five phases. Inidially there was (1) colonization of land in the earliest terrestrial ecosystems, followed by (2) taxic radiation and ecological penetration of plant tissues by numerous clades during the Late Carboniferous and Permian, a process that was curtailed by (3) the terminal Permian extinction. The (4) subsequent emergence of the Modern Insect Fauna in the Triassic and its rebound during the mid-Mesozoic was driven by ecological expansion into freshwater ecosystems, emergence of the parasitoid guild, and recolonization of new seed-plant lineages by phytophagous holometabolans. This process continued as (5) modern associations were established as Cretaceous angiosperms became dominant and mid-Cenozoic temperate grasslands expanded. These data indicate that insect success is attributable to intricate, multiplicative, and probably extinction-buffered associations with other organisms, especially vascular plants.
