Sunny Summer Cricket
The rain stopped, the sun came out, so this sunny Sunday afternoon was just right for a cycle ride into the village for a coffee. It certainly brought others, the village was busy, people strolling up and down, window shopping, chatting, clearly enjoying the improvement in the weather.
After my coffee I couldn't resist a homeward bound visit to Formby Cricket Club. My favourite local pub, the Freshie, is closed for renovations. But Formby Cricket Club is a welcome substitute. I arrived at tea.
I've recorded my brief impressions here:
Apologies for the slight distortion in my voice, it seems to be a combination of my phone and Audiboo. I hope, at least, you get a sense of what a sunny Sunday afternoon's cricket at Formby Cricket is like.
Formby 2020 Vision Statement
These are the personal views of Sean Brady
I have just published my vision for Formby in the year 2020. This is a slightly amended version of a draft I wrote for the Formby Parish Plan. This was subsequently discussed by the members of Formby Parish Council.
The statement is on this page 'Formby 2020'
I have made it available as a contribution to a conversation the Formby community should be having about the future.
On Monday I will be attending 'The Big Chat', a conversation organised by the local NHS, Doctors and Sefton MBC about the future direction of health services in Formby. Meanwhile Sefton MBC is considering ways of making a further £43m cuts.
Please take part in all these discussions.

Formby Parish Council Monthly Meeting
Just a quick reminder about the Formby Parish Council Meeting tonight. Meetings are normally held on the first Tuesday of the month, but last week's Olympic and Jubilee celebrations led to a postponement.
Instead, Formby Parish Council will be holding it's usual monthly meeting tonight. The meeting will start at 7.00pm and is in the Formby Library meeting room.
There is always a point early in the meeting agenda for members of the public to ask questions and raise issues for the members to consider. Please do attend if you can.
Consultations On The Future Of Local NHS
Residents of Formby are invited to ' get involved in the future of their health and well-being services'.
Southport and Formby Clinical Commissioning Group (SFCCG) and a similar group for south Sefton are leading the local changes to the NHS.
There are two events, residents 'are welcome to register for either event but the one held in the area where they live will be most relevant to them:
- South Sefton CCG – 18 th June, Aintree Racecourse, 10am-2pm
- Southport and Formby CCG – 25 th June, Southport Theatre and Convention Centre, 10am-2pm
These so-called 'Big Chat' events will give people
'the opportunity to find out about the plans and priorities of SFCCG, SSCCG and Sefton Council to improve health and well-being. Residents will also be asked for their views about those plans during the interactive events'.
'Dr Janet Atherton, Director of Public Health for Sefton Council and NHS Sefton, said: "We have begun to determine the priorities we believe will make the most difference to the health and well-being of local people, based on all the evidence we have about people's health and current health services. Now we want to hear what Sefton residents think about these priorities.'
'"Once they are finalized, these priorities will be used to help shape future health and well-being services for both Sefton Council and local Clinical Commissioning Groups. So, I would encourage people to come along to the Big Chat and get involved."
Lunch will be provided. To register, please call:
Kelly Jones on 0151 244 3457 or email firstname.lastname@example.com'

Olympic Flame
A stream of Twitter reports made the day the Flame came to FormbyOlympic Torch Live Reports
Olympic Formby 2012
On a day like today, sometime in the late Neolithic-early Bronze Age, 3500 - 4000 years ago, a young man set out to track his prey a short distance away at Formby Point. There were plenty of tracks to follow, Red Deer, Roe Deer, Wild Boar and commonly Wild Ox or Auroch. Huge beasts up to 6 feet high and 11 feet long.
As he moved, the hunter left his own tracks in the layers of mud lining the gently sloping beach. Coincidently sea levels are the same now as then.
Erosion has revealed these fragile fossil footprints. The hunters varied in age and weight, some tracks suggest deformities, arthritis and long toenails. The distance between footprints suggest moments in the hunt for patience others suggest moments of faster more immediate pursuit of the quarry.
The footprints appear at low tides. They become visible in the original mud as the sea washes away the layers of sand that covered them in the prehistoric period. They only last briefly before new tides wash them away permanently.
Formby has a long history of human settlement. Nowadays it is a typical coastal dormitory town but its name betrays a Viking past. Originally known as Fornebei, it was the'village belonging to Forni'. It is a popular place, well-off according to some, and in the last 40 - 50 years has undergone much development. Nonetheless Formby residents still talk of the village, 'I'm going to the village', they say, 'I'll meet you in the village'. The village is the heart of the town.
It is an example of what Town Planners call, a 'good third place'. This is where Formby informal public life, so essential to good towns and great cities shows itself. Places threatened throughout the country that Mary Portas argues are 'Social Spaces'not just shopping centres.
Of course the sea, the sand dunes, the pinewoods, the Red Squirrel sanctuary all make Formby a hugely popular place to visit. No Scouser worthy of the name hasn't got out of a train at Freshfield railway station and trekked to the beach at least once. Incidentally, Freshfield so-called, because a Mr Fresh imported Liverpool 'night soil' to enrich the Asparagus growing fields.
So, once again a ritual cavalcade echoing an ancient past, the Olympics, is beating its way to Formby's doorstep. Well almost, it bypasses most of Formby and just briefly dips into the South-west portion of the Town. Pity, the village could have been the ideal heart of the Olympic Flame's visit.
Our modern Olympic Flame torch-bearers are Nick Giles and Mary Hayward, he is 'truly a very likeable youth', 'passionate to help others'. A successful U18's English Hockey player, now in the English U21's squad. She is a registered nurse 'with a passion for the care of the elderly', who won 'Nurse of the year (patients choice section in 2009)'. The first will run towards the imposing Cross House Inn, where many residents will wait. Outside the Inn stands a cross in the middle of a roundabout, originally the village green. Village stocks stood here too, now long gone.
Further along Liverpool Road, our runner's footsteps will take them across the boundary of Formby Parish Council into Little Altcar Parish. Ancient boundary points found in every English Town and Village. At the splendid recently renovated Little Altcar Parish signpost, the runners will hand back the torch. The cavalcade will leave and we'll carry away with us our memories of a special day.
The torch-bearer's footsteps will sound but briefly. An echo of the hunters footprints, that still resonate with us today. The hunter's footprints once revealed, are just as short-lived as the brief moment when the Olympic flame passes through the town. I wonder which event remains in the memory longest.
An edited version of this story is also available on The Guardian Newspapers web site in the Olympic Writers Relay Section.

The second week of judges' houses means the conclusion of the casting portion of the show, where we meet the Top 17 contestants that move into the live show competition where America takes the reigns and votes for their favorites. It wouldn't be a reality show without controversy and the third judges' houses episode was full of it. Simon Cowell's ridiculous decision to initially cut Melanie Amaro shocked us and felt like a slap in the face. Simon realized his mistake and reversed the decision by the end of the episode, but we cannot for the life of us understand the first decision. We believe the same could be said for the other three judges, as we were given the impression that they had strong words for Simon when they learned about his choices.
The second half of the 32 contestants performed in this set of episodes, which brought some excellent renditions of existing songs. Josh Krajcik, Leroy Bell and Melanie Amaro all blew us away and are by far our favorites going into the live shows. The inconsistent and baffling group category stayed just that with InTENsity putting out a Glee-like rendition of their song, the Stereo Hogzz performing like a solo act with backup singers, 2 Squar'd putting forth a choppy and uneven arrangement of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Illusion/Confusion getting the worst edit of the night by having their interviews intercut with their singing. The second four people in the boys category generally underwhelmed us as well, which was disappointing.
We predicted 13 out of the 17 final choices, with us being wrong on Phillip Lomax, Dexter Haygood, Lakoda Rayne and Simone Battle. We predicted Tim Ciphers, Elaine Gibbs and Anser to make it through, as well as Melanie Amaro who was added back in at the last minute. Since we're analyzing this show from a record deal standpoint, we understand why most of the choices were made and agreed with the majority of them. In a world based on singing ability alone the list would be different and if we were given complete control to pick our preferences we would change things around even more, but we remember that it's about finding a person to sign a five million dollar contract which carries with it the responsibility to sell albums and tour tickets. Out of all the selections, Simone Battle is our biggest source of disagreement and you'll have to listen to the podcast to hear why 🙂
We're excited to see what the live shows hold!

Podcast: The X-Factor Season 1 – Boot Camp WeekWritten by: James G

This week The X-Factor shifted gears and moved into the boot camp episodes where the judges whittled down the field to 32 contestants evenly split into four categories: the girls, the guys, the over 30s and the groups. The original field included over 150 people and two sets of cuts brought us down to 32, filling the episodes with plenty of drama, emotion and genuine surprises. The X-Factor serves itself well by continuing to focus on the people we got to know during the audition episodes and keeping the pacing at a comfortable level. We were also introduced to new talent, such as Tim Ciphers who surprised us with his strong range and clear tone.
We didn't see anyone cut that upset us and are quite happy with the majority of the field left at the end of the week. We disagree with some choices, such as putting through Simone Battle and The Stereo Hogzz, but these are small nitpicks compared with an overall strong field. In the podcast we spend time talking about the top 32 contestants, sorting out who we like and who we don't as well as discussing their prospects for making it through the judges' houses round. Our top favorites are Melanie Amaro, Josh Krajcik and Leroy Bell.
The judges' houses round sounds intriguing although we don't know much about how this portion of the show will run. Will it be a drill session to push people to their limits and center around the selection process or will it be a more laid back mentoring session where the judges dispense one-on-one advice? Either possibility should prove to be good television. We have reservations about Nicole's ability to mentor the over 30s category and it's a toss-up whether Paula will find success in leading the groups. Simon and L.A. are both strong choices for their respective categories. We're excited to see who makes it through and who goes home!

This week continued and completed the audition portion of the show. We're happy that The X-Factor went the So You Think You Can Dance route and kept this portion of the competition short, unlike American Idol which drags the process out for several weeks. We were introduced to some amazing singers such as Josh Krajcik and Jazzlyn Little, as well as interesting talent including Tora Woloshin, Brian Bradley and the performance piece that was J Mark Inman's audition. The show wouldn't be complete without the requisite bad auditions, of which Devon Talley's ceremonial murder of RENT's "Seasons of Love" took top prize. We now know how to measure a year.
Going into the boot camp episodes, we're worried about the groups. We haven't seen anyone impressive and even the judge favorites, such as 4Shore, presented weaknesses that will become more apparent as weeks go on. The judges appear to be reaching for acts to fill the group slots as the decision to put through The Stereo Hogzz illustrates.
We're looking forward to the boot-camp episodes and the developments sure to happen in them. We saw some footage of the contestants learning choreography (assisted by Mark Kanemura from So You Think You Can Dance!), an unexpected development that could change the contestant landscape. There was also footage of several favorites breaking down, although we can never be sure if this is a red herring or foreshadowing by the show's editors.

None actually…
A very common myth you'll read around forums especially when discussing lenses of different focal lengths are the statements "just zoom with your feet", "just take a couple of steps forward/back", the idea was, moving with your feet gives you a similar image – it doesn't.
Perspective of a scene changes when the subjects or the camera position moves towards or away the subject in relation to the background. However, merely zooming in and out from the same camera position will not alter perspective.
Take a look at this series of photographs:
The subject's (scooter) relative size to the frame are about the same in all four image because I moved the camera's position. As I moved from wide to tele, I progressively moved the camera backwards in a straight line. The same focus point in my camera was used (left center), focusing on the black rectangle on the vertical bar of the scooter.
Keep an eye on the following areas:
- The grass line. See how in the 24mm photo, the line runs along a 30-degree angle from lower-left to upper-right. As I increase my distance from the subject, the angle is reduced (leaning more towards the base of the frame.
- The angle of the scooter's step-plate/rear tire. Like the grass line, it gradually straightens out in relation to the base of my frame. As a result, the perceived length of the step-plate in the 105mm shot is longer than the step-plate in the 24mm image, because the camera was farther from the subject than the 24mm image. We all know the scooter's size never changes.
- Lastly, the relative size of the monkey bar's shadow in the upper right wall.
When you shoot a scene where the background is an integral part of the composition, knowing where to position yourself in relation to the subject and before choosing a focal length is important. The ability to crop out backgrounds or amplify the characteristic of the background without significantly altering your main subject's position and appearance is what zooming does, but you need to physically move the camera position or your subject in order to change the perspective.
The two shots are taken with the same lens (Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM), same background, same subject. Only the focal length was altered and the shift in camera position. The shift in camera position played a big part of distorting the background's perspective. Notice how subtle manipulation of perspective altered the impact of the images.
Before I finish, I must point out one very frequent term that's misused by many magazine writers and forum advisers as well – compression.
Specifically, perspective compression. Changing focal length alone DOES NOT compress a scene. I repeat, going from 50mm to 200mm does NOT compress the scene. You are magnifying the farther subjects, but you're not compressing the scene. You need to physically alter the position of the lens to do that.
Compressing a scene means that the scene remain the same. You get the same subject elements in a scene, but ordered in a different manner. Lenses cannot do that unless you move the position of the camera itself. When you zoom from 50mm to 200mm, you magnify the far elements only to the extent of what the frame can accommodate!!! You'll lose elements on all four sides of the frame as you zoom in and out with different focal lengths, that's not perspective compression, that magnification and cropping.
You can compress a scene either you compress the subjects themselves (move them closer together), or move the camera's position to include compensate the cropping of the longer focal length.
You can compress a scene either you compress the subjects themselves (move them closer together), or move the camera's position to include compensate the cropping of the longer focal length.
Shooting from wide angle to a zoomed image doesn't change perspective, just the amount of image cropped and magnified.
The first set of photos are taken with 28mm, 128mm, and 250mm equivalent, actual images.
The second set compares the 250mm original from the 128 and 28mm crops. As long as the camera position doesn't change, the images offer the same visual perspective.

Chris Coghlan will get his first start as a member of the Chicago Cubs, who will try to snap a two-game losing streak Tuesday night against the rival White Sox.
Coghlan, the 2009 National League rookie of the year with the Florida Marlins, will bat eighth and play left field. Coghlan went 1 for 2 as a late-inning replacement Monday in a 3-1 loss in 12 innings. Coghlan was promoted Saturday from Triple-A Iowa.

I guess the travels I've had in the last few weeks have precipitated a rebound. That and my cold (now over, thankfully), the cold, rainy weather, and a desire to re-connect with my inner domestic diva put me into a blissful, firelit rural cocoon of warmth and gustatory delight. The chances of me rising more than a few levels up Maslow's hierarchy are pretty slim for the next few days, but I'm working on it. It's odd that when others are spring cleaning, sniffing daffodils and emerging from winter's hibernation I seem to be heading into the cave.
What the hell is she talking about? Well, first there was the Maple-Glazed Tuna with Pear-Potato Salad, which had me confused with all her oddly paired ingredients and then thrilled at the incredible marriage.
Given how warm the wood stove has kept things around here, my starter was eagerly volunteering to work so I made a Fig and Rosemary Pot roast in the slow cooker, spinach artichoke dip and freshly baked sourdough bread. It helped liven up the Oscars a little (just a little), and I made an incredible Fish Couscous with Onion T'faya the next day. I like to make the spice blend up in bulk ahead of time, which is a blend of salt, ground ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, allspice, pepper and nutmeg. Imagine the aroma of that mix bubbling with a little butter on the stovetop, and you will know my bliss. I hope to put this in cute little decorative containers to give away with the recipe some time.
For a little artery cleanser I made a batch of vegetarian chili, but before I knew it, I had begun to channel Julia Child and took a couple of days to whip up a cassoulet using smoked pork hocks and turkey kielbasa. Next time the duck will make it in.
But why is she not making beads, and listing items in her Etsy shop each day, and preparing for shows, you wonder? For now I'm content to blog hop and marvel at what others have done in the latest Bead Soup Blog Party, order much needed supplies, and use my newly found breathing space to plan. My day job is increasing its demands on me and time is precious. It took me several sessions at the computer to try and find the things I need for my next set of projects, and I hate spending time that way. I'd much rather be on the torch, but I don't see it happening for several days, at least.
By the way, if you buy any supplies from Fire Mountain Gems and don't know about JetBeads, check him out. Jason is a mega buyer with FMG and as such has earned some discount privileges that you and I probably have not. You fill up a shopping list on the FMG site, share it with him, and he can get it for much less. He orders it for you, you pay him, and the product gets sent to you. I've ordered with him twice now, and it works great. He's also on Facebook.
I'm also happy that I finally found an explanation of double Viking Knit that made sense to me. I had attempted it on Maui, but got myself in a tizzy and what made sense before didn't when I put it in practice. But this thread on Lampwork Etc gave me a better visual feel for what to do. So far I've only done single knit, largely because I usually affix things to the finished tube as opposed to slide things onto it, and need the wiggle room that single knit affords. I plan to try double just to see how it looks.
Until soon...

Shoes: Complete Sourcebook Hardback
by John Peacock
Here, in over 2,000 specially drawn illustrations, is the most comprehensive and detailed history and sourcebook of shoes ever published.
John Peacock charts the development of every kind and style of footwear for both men and women from earliest times to the present day.
Reproduced in meticulous detail and full colour is a host of representative examples of footwear: the simple sandals of ancient Egypt, made from natural fibres and held onto the foot with narrow thongs; the embroidered and bejewelled shoes of the Byzantine empire; the fantastic pike-toed boots newly fashionable in the fourteenth century; the hugely exaggerated platform heels of the sixteenth century; and, eighteenth-century silk slippers; as well as a huge range of contemporary shoes, from brogues and baseball boots, stilettos and winklepickers, to today's fashion footwear in radical materials and experimental styles.
Neatly arranged in six chronological sections, the pictures are accompanied by full descriptions, including details of all materials, heel and toe styles, decorations including embroidery and beading, and fastenings including buttons, laces and ribbons. An invaluable reference section includes an at-a-glance time chart showing the development of footwear through the ages, a concise bibliography, and biographies of the worlds leading shoe designers and companies, including Salvatore Ferragamo, Charles Jourdan, Terry de Havilland and Manolo Blahnik.

Review by juglicerr
I waffled between 4 and 5 stars for this. I think Peacock could do with some slightly more accurate titles. This is a history of western European shoes, with ancient Mesopotamia, Greece and Egypt thrown in for length. Beyond those, there is nothing on even eastern Europe, let alone Asia, Africa, etc. I also suspect from his books that Peacock does not really approve of our casual age. I saw only a single tennis shoe; none of the clogs and earth shoes that were so typical of the late 1960s and early 1970s; and none of the elaborate athletic shoes. Peacock does say that he is focusing chiefly on fashionable shoes, but I think that the high-end athletic shoes qualify as designer models, even if the other don't.Given that, it's wonderful for what it does cover. Men's shoes are included. My favorite part is the ancient shoes; I have never seen such a variety illustrated.The pages have small but clear drawings of usually 7 or 8 shoes per page, with minimal labelling. More detailed labelling follows. The time length covered by each section varies; as one might expect, shorter period are covered for more recent shoes. This is not as lush as the photographic collections of shoes, but I think it's more helpful as a history, especially for older styles which may have been reconstructed from fragments.The introduction gives a brief history of the development of the shoes. There is a timeline where the shoes are reproduced as outline drawings to get a idea of the flow of change. This is followed by a concise history of designers and companies, and a bibliography.So, it doesn't have a scholarly historical text, I don't recommend it for people as a book for gaping over startling shoes, but it is a very good visual history.

At least that is true for my house. I can barely stand to throw anything away without staring at it for a few minutes and wondering if it has a new life as something else. Tonight, it is one of those times where there is no doubt. I was inspired to do the above treasury by the task I was performing when the treasury opened. I was cutting apart Kaileigh's old amber teething necklace. The amber on this necklace is gorgeous! I bought this from a reputable source, spent quite a bit of money on it, and my daughter decided when she was about 2 to bite one of the beads off. That is one of those fun memories I will have for a long time. I remeber where we were when I realized she was fiddling with something in her mouth. But that is my Kaileigh, always straight to the mouth, or on the skin or on the walls... always wherever it does not belong, LOL! So, I am cutting all the tied beads from this necklace and thinking I would love to have myself a stretch ring and the treasury became available. Yay!!
I like this treasury alot! Hope you do too.

As one of the facilities of Harford County Department of Parks and Recreation, our mission is to increase awareness, understanding, and appreciation of estuarine ecosystems through research, monitoring, and education.
We are one of the few remaining large freshwater tidal marshes in the upper Chesapeake Bay accessible to the public. Otter Point Creek is a shallow tributary located at the headwaters of the Bush River in southern Harford County, MD. The Otter Point Creek Component consists of two land areas (Leight Park and the Melvin G. Bosely Conservancy) connected by 261 acres of shallow open water. Leight Park is 93 forested acres owned by Harford County Parks and Recreation and home to the Estuary Center. The Bosely Conservancy is 350 acres of tidal marsh and wooded wetlands owned by the Izaak Walton League of America - Harford County Chapter.
Through our partnerships with Harford County and the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (CBNERR), we offer public, private/group, and school (including home school) programs. Program activities include canoeing, kayaking, pontoon boating, crafts, hiking, education, animal encounters, and research.

Analysing historic DNA from museum specimens offers the unique opportunity to study the molecular systematics and phylogenetics of rare and possibly extinct taxa. In the Hawaiian fauna, the hawkmoth, Hyles calida calida, occurs on several of the main islands and is quite frequent, whereas Hyles c. hawaiiensis is restricted to the Island of Hawaii where it appears to be very rare. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences shows that Hyles c. hawaiiensis differs from the nominotypical subspecies by an average p-distance of 2.8%, which is of a similar order of magnitude to that found between other species of Hyles, suggesting that Hyles c. hawaiiensis should perhaps be awarded species status, although more data are required for a formal taxonomic revision. Given the rarity of this taxon, these analyses should be undertaken urgently so that conservation measures can be implemented before it becomes extinct.& copy; 2017 Hundsdoerfer, Kitching.

Arthropod Structure and Development | Year: 2012
The gonangulum is a sclerite in the female genitalic region of insects. Its presence or full development has long been considered an apomorphy supporting Zygentoma + Pterygota. Recent studies of female genitalia in several insect orders (K.-D. Klass and co-workers) revealed many new data on the gonangulum and homologous sclerotisations (laterocoxa LC9). Herein the gonangulum area is described (including articulations, muscle attachments, sulci) and compared among Archaeognatha, Zygentoma, Odonata, Dermaptera, Dictyoptera, and Notoptera. A wider perspective is provided to the topic by addressing some novel issues: identification of LC9 sclerotisations in non-insect taxa and in insects that secondarily lack an ovipositor; occurrence of homonomous sclerotisations in other abdominal segments of both sexes; morphological interpretation of LC9; and the role of paedomorphosis in LC9 evolution. As a result, there is currently no support for any insect lineage from this character system. For gonangulum-related characters both a significant intra-ordinal variation and frequent homoplasy are demonstrated using various Odonata, Dermaptera, and Dictyoptera as examples. Divergent fates of LC9 in simplified genitalia are shown using a dermapteran and an odonatan. We view all this as a showcase of how a renewed and more detailed examination of a character system can dramatically change the phylogenetic evidence drawn from it. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Arthropod Structure and Development | Year: 2012
The exoskeleton of the female genitalic region (abdominal venters 7-9) in Petrobiellus takunagae (Machilidae-Petrobiellinae) is studied using light microscopy and SEM. Sclerites are distinguished from membrane by the degree of cuticular flexibility. However, the microsculpture of the cuticle is shown to be useful in characterising the heterogeneity of the cuticle and in detecting weak sclerotisations. The morphology of Petrobiellus is compared with that in Trigoniophthalmus alternatus (Machilidae-Machilinae) described previously. While venter 7 is similar, venters 8 and 9 show many differences in the presence/absence or fusion/separation of particular sclerites. This suggests female genitalic morphology to be a valuable character system for phylogenetic and taxonomic work in Archaeognatha. Comparison with other insect orders is aimed at detecting homologous structures and conditions. Important points are: (1) Petrobiellus has a sclerotised genital lobe posteriorly on venter 7, similar to Zygentoma and Dictyoptera; it bears the gonopore. (2) Petrobiellus has a posterior sclerite on venter 9 that is very similar to a sclerite of Odonata. (3) The morphology of the coxal lobes of venter 9 (gonoplacs) suggests their function as a sheath of the ovipositor. From female genitalic morphology we deduce the process of oviposition, describing an external egg transportation tract. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution | Year: 2013
Our comprehension of the phylogeny and diversity of most inland-water crustaceans is currently hampered by their pronounced morphological bradytely, which contributed to the affirmation of the "Cosmopolitanism Paradigm" of freshwater taxa. However, growing evidence of the existence of cryptic diversity and molecular regionalism is available for calanoid copepods, thus stressing the need for careful morphological and molecular studies in order to soundly investigate the systematics, diversity and distribution patterns of the group. Diaptomid copepods were here chosen as model taxa, and the morphological and molecular diversity of the species belonging to the west-Mediterranean diaptomid subgenus Occidodiaptomus were investigated with the aim of comparing the patterns of morphological and molecular evolution in freshwater copepods. Three species currently lumped under the binomen Hemidiaptomus (Occidodiaptomus) ingens and two highly divergent clades within H. (O.) roubaui were distinguished, thus showing an apparent discordance between the molecular distances recorded and Occidodiaptomus morphological homogeneity, and highlighting a noteworthy decoupling between the morphological and molecular diversity in the subgenus. Current Occidodiaptomus diversity pattern is ascribed to a combined effect of ancient vicariance and recent dispersal events. It is stressed that the lack of sound calibration points for the molecular clock makes it difficult to soundly temporally frame the diversification events of interest in the taxon studied, and thus to asses the role of morphological bradytely and of accelerated molecular evolutionary rates in shaping the current diversity of the group. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

A remarkable fossil plant assemblage from the lowermost Oligocene Haselbach horizon (GrÖbers Member, BÖhlen Formation) was excavated at the Vereinigtes Schleenhain opencast mine (northwestern Saxony, Germany) and is described herein. The lower unit of the Haselbach horizon represents abandoned channel deposits that contain masses of Zingiberoideophyllum liblarense leaves. Species identification of the leaves is based on morphological characters and micromorphological features of the cuticle. Other plant organs of the previously described whole plant Spirematospermum wetzleri-Zingiberoideophyllum liblarense, such as fruits, seeds, rhizomes, and rootlets, were also observed on associated bedding planes, which supports this whole-plant reconstruction. The other megafossil remains in this taphocoenosis, mostly leaves, are identified taxonomically and interpreted as being derived from a mixed softwood and hardwood riparian forest of Acer haselbachense, Apocynophyllum neriifolium, Carpinus grandis, Engelhardia orsbergensis, Populus germanica, Rosa lignitum, Taxodium dubium, and from a Nyssa-Taxodium swamp. Based on the plant taphonomy and the paleoecology of the plants, this plant assemblage was likely deposited in still water and therefore mainly parautochthonous. Vertical changes in the composition of the plant assemblage, in particular the disappearance of the Zingiberoideophyllum liblarence leaves, are attributed to changes in habitat, such as alterations in the soil substrate and/or rising water levels. Taphonomic and paleophytosociological aspects of the assemblage confirm the previously published autecological reconstruction of the Spirematospermum wetzleri-Zingiberoideophyllum liblarense whole plant as an aquatic subshrub growing in shallow standing water, most likely in monotypic dense stands or in association with the Apocynophyllum neriifolium-Microdiptera whole plant. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems of the family assignment of Zingiberoideophyllum liblarense are discussed briefly. The presence of transverse veins, also called cross veins, suggests an assignment to Zingiberaceae and excludes it from Musaceae. © 2012 SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).

Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments | Year: 2014
Pseudotsuga is an accessory element in the Neogene vegetation in Central Europe. Two species based on coalified seed cones and one species each based on leaves and wood have been described so far from Miocene and Pliocene localities, mainly in Germany. Based on a new seed cone record from the site of Wiesa in Germany, I describe here evidence supporting the extension of the stratigraphic range of Pseudotsuga jechorekiae Czaja, including the late early Miocene. An emended diagnosis is given and a neotype is proposed for the Pliocene Pseudotsuga loehrii comb. nov. The leaf record is revisited and critically evaluated as leaf cuticles previously determined as "Pseudotsuga oceanines" are reinterpreted herein as Tsuga or Nothotsuga. Subsequently, the late Oligocene presence of the genus in Central Europe exclusively based on "Pseudotsuga oceanines" remains doubtful. The fossil cone species are morphologically compared to the extant species, with the highest conformity found to the Asian species. Finally, palaeophytosociological, palaeoautecological and palaeoclimatic aspects of the fossil species are compiled. © 2014 Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Arthropod Systematics and Phylogeny | Year: 2013
The skeletal parts of the metendosternite and of the anteromedian part of the abdominal venter are studied in 39 species of Chrysomelinae (representing tribes Timarchini and Chrysomelini, and 10 of the 12 subtribes of Chrysomelini) and 4 species from Galerucinae, Criocerinae, and Cassidinae. The morphology of these body parts in Chrysomelinae is compared with other cucujiform beetles based on the literature, with a focus on a tenebrionid. The morphology of the metendosternite evidently includes much homoplasy across Cucujiformia including Chrysomelidae, whereby conclusions on the polarity of characters are very limited. The (fairly poor) phylogenetic evidence from the chrysomeline metendosternite is discussed including reflection of the current classification, of the only large-scale molecular-based phylogenetic study of Chrysomelinae, and of phylogenetic evidence from glands and their secretions. Chrysomelinae consistently have a very short metendosternal stalk, the anterior tendon originates far laterally from the furcal arm, and the anterior lamina is limited to the furcal arm or entirely absent (i.e. always absent in the median part of the metendosternite). These features appear as apomorphic compared to the examined Galerucinae, Criocerinae, and Cassidinae and suggest the exclusion of Galerucinae from Chrysomelinae (contra molecularbased results). Metendosternal characters suggest Phratora to belong to Chrysomelina, and Zygogramma and Cosmogramma to be close to Chrysolinina rather than Doryphorina; both is in accord with results derived from DNA sequences and from gland secretions. The two Chrysomelinae genera with reduced hind wings (Timarcha, Crosita) show simplifications in the metendosternite. It is suggested that some characters may depend on the age of the adults, the development of abdominal hemi-sternites I being one such character.

Systematic Entomology | Year: 2010
This study presents the first phylogenetic estimate for the pipunculid subfamily Chalarinae (genera Chalarus Walker, Jassidophaga Aczél and Verrallia Mik) based on an analysis of one mitochondrial coding (cytochrome oxidase 1) and two nuclear non-coding genes (28s and ITS2), using parsimony under direct optimization as implemented in poy4. It completes earlier taxonomic works on these groups. The voucher material used was primarily of Palaearctic origin. The study strongly supports the monophyletic origin of Chalarinae as well as of Chalarus and Verrallia, but failed to recover a monophyletic lineage for Jassidophaga. Whereas the taxa of Jassidophaga with predominantly black-coloured legs clustered as a monophyletic sister to Verrallia, an Oriental Jassidophaga species with predominantly yellow/light brown-coloured legs represents a distinct genetic lineage. The Chalarus species included were resolved into eight well-supported genetic clades: C. angustifrons group, C. basalis group, C. clarus lineage, C. holosericeus group, C. immanis lineage, C. indistinctus group, C. latifrons group and C. spurius group. A phenetic analysis focused on intra- and interspecific genetic distances within the subfamily. As a consequence, the eastern Palaearctic C. rectifrons Morakote is proposed as a junior synonym of C. angustifrons Morakote (syn.n.). The structure of the C. basalis species group was investigated further with the intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) primer (GACA)4. © 2010 The Royal Entomological Society.

In this article, vegetational reconstructions of leaf floras from the early Oligocene Haselbach megafloral complex, which have been published by several authors since the 1960s, are compiled, summarised, reconsidered and partly revised. The geological setting of the fossilmaterial is updated based on the most recent monographs on stratigraphy and geology of the mid-German Paleogene. An annotated list of the leaf component of the Haselbach complex floras is given using the most recent nomenclature and taxonomy. Reconstructions previously illustrated as vegetational schemes are redrawn, with slight modifications to the original versions. Original captions of the schemes are revised with special attention given to the fossil plant names and sediment facies types. Typical fossil specimens that characterise the corresponding plant taphocoenoses quite well are included to complement the drawings. The importance of phytotaphonomic and palaeoecological data for the reconstructions of palaeoenvironments is emphasised. © Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung and Springer 2012.

It was horrible. HORRIBLE. At least, I remember it that way. I was young. Too young and too impressionable to see anything like it. To be honest, it put me right off rock-and-roll music for some time. What happened is this: My friend said, "Look up," and I did just as a wild-haired man wearing nothing but a loincloth swung out over the vast arena audience and onto the stage, where he picked up a guitar and began to wail, "She's so sweet when she yanks on my meat. Down on the street, you know she can't be beat. What the hell." It was the Wang Dang Sweet Poontang tour, after all, and what did I expect from Ted Nugent? "Amazing Grace"? This is the same man who made the explicit declaration "When in doubt, I whip it out. I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."
But who could have guessed at this particular juncture that this long-haired, self-proclaimed madman from Detroit Rock City, so freely (and raunchily) exercising his First Amendment rights, would lean politically just to the right of Attila the Hun? Who could have begun to imagine that decades down the road he would be the proud author of a cookbook? Who could have imagined that the leading celebrity blurb on the dust jacket of said cookbook would be from archconservative and gun nut Charlton Heston, declaring without reservation, "Ted Nugent is, beyond argument, one of the good guys"? That President George W. Bush, a close ally of the pious Christian right, would say to him, "We're glad you're here. You're a good man"? Well, certainly anyone who paid close attention to the extreme phallocentricity and "if you can't join 'em, lick 'em" attitude of his music might have guessed the politics but not the cookbook. Nobody could have ever foreseen that. Then again, Kill It & Grill It ain't exactly Betty Crocker.
"Vegetarians are cool," Nugent notes in his book. "All I eat are vegetarians -- except for the occasional mountain lion steak." He says that munching on a store-bought chicken, more feces than meat, will never give him and his Labrador, Gonzo, "a full predator spiritual high." And having reduced the realm of spirituality to blood lust and predation, he adds, "We don't just cook. We dance naked at the primordial campfire of life."
Nugent likes words like "primordial," and he rambles on and on like a death-hungry Kerouac stoned out of his mind on pure testosterone. Oddly enough, he manages to imbue his overcooked prose with the spirit of a true conservationist. Before the end of page one, he says of the hunter lifestyle, "Hands-on cause and effect provides valuable lessons in environmental responsibility. You can't deny a gutpile."
Nugent's recipes are, much like his music, basic, bombastic, and, in many cases, irresistible, even to people who should know better. Who, short of a diehard vegan, can't get their salivary glands in an uproar at the thought of wild-boar chops cooked with raisins and apples? Baked quail wrapped in pork and grape leaves, smothered in fresh seedless grapes, anyone? If Kill It & Grill It had more recipes like these and less macho psychobabble from Ted, it could be a fantastic guide to preparing wild game. But who really needs a faded rock star to tell them to dredge their meat in flour and fry it in butter, which is about as innovative as many of the book's recipes get? Who needs to hear Nuge narcissistically going on about "scaring whitefolk with [his] oversouled R&B guitarspeak"? Besides, can a man really be such a gun-toting primal-man superhunter if any of his personal recipes calls for a can of cream of mushroom soup? Maybe if you snare your own can.
Say what you will about the man, his music, and his politics, but you can't deny that he walks his talk and stands up for what he believes in. On his Web site, Nuge even claims that only by living the life of a predator can a person really learn to play a hard-rocking guitar. "Kill critter, add fire, ingest sacred protein fuel for the soul. There's your damn recipe for ultra guitarnoize, kidz," he writes. "Now I know you think I have confused the outline for introductory guitar lessons with my favorite recipe for good BBQ, but don't jump to presumptuous conclusions, my cityfied comrades. For if you truly dream of celebrating and projecting the soul of man and this mind dazzling experience of God's gift of life to its fullest through your creative juiceflow as flamed forth from your own electric guitar, then by no means underestimate the healing powers of nature."
The Nuge will be demonstrating his meat-given guitar virtuosity at Horseshoe Casino on Friday, July 26th. Who knows? Maybe he'll even give a cooking demonstration between sets.

LOUISVILLE, KY - Feb. 2, 2016
For Long John Silver's, the Lenten season is longer than 40 days.
The Louisville-based fast-food seafood chain started preparing nine months ago for the beginning of its busiest season. Long John Silver's executives have hosted regional meetings, set up special online training for employees, and created television and newspaper advertisements, as well as a social media plan ahead of next Wednesday, said company CEO James O'Reilly.
NATIONAL Feb 2, 2016
The Super Bowl is on Sunday. But for Long John Silver's, the big day comes three days later, on Ash Wednesday.
That's when many of the nation's 69.5 million Catholics give up meat and eat lots of seafood. Sales typically increase 75 percent at the Louisville-based chain on Ash Wednesday.
LOUISVILLE - Feb. 3, 2016
There's a media blitz in the works for Louisville-based seafood chain Long John Silver's Inc.
CEO James O'Reilly has been making the rounds with local and national media. National television commercials will roll out soon, and franchisees are being provided with tools to help them market locally.
FORT SMITH, TX. - Feb. 8, 2016
Long John Silver's is gearing up for the season of Lent with a new Alaskan Cod Meal and other promotions for those observing the season.
Christmas only comes once a year, however for certain businesses Christmas does not always come in December. For fast food giant Long John Silver's Christmas comes in February and lasts for 40 days and 40 nights. This is the season of Lent, where observant Catholics eschew meat on Fridays and eat fish instead. While this is the minimal requirements for Lent some Catholics do give up meat during the entire season of Lent. Either way, this is the time when seafood sales are at their highest and for restaurants like Long John Silver's this is there most profitable time of the year.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Feb. 3, 2016
Ash Wednesday (Feb. 10) marks the beginning of Lent for more than 66 million Catholics in the U.S. For Long John Silver's (LJS), the country's largest quick-service seafood restaurant chain, it kicks off the company's busiest-selling season, historically featuring a 75 percent increase in sales on the first day of Lent alone. The company has prepared with aggressive training in more than 1,100 units across the country. In addition, Long John Silver's is offering a seasonal promotion on a $5.99 Cod meal and a sweepstakes with three grand prize cruises.

Houston Bee Removal & Relocation Services
We Offer Live Bee Removal!!!
Although honeybees are very beneficial to the ecosystem and valuable for pollination; their population numbers are so high across most of the southern U.S. that they are often a pest problem, especially when found in or near the home or workplace. Many people are highly allergic to bees and can be hospitalized after just one bee sting due to anaphylactic shock that follows a sting. When bees sting they emit a chemical pheromone to signal the attack to the rest of the colony which commonly results in numerous stings. Bee stings are the largest killer of humans in the U.S. directly caused by animals. Government statistics indicate 40-100 people are killed annually from insect stings and this number continues to rise each year due to the increasing population numbers of the aggressive Africanized honeybees (also known as "killer bees") that are taking over the southern states. Studies have suggested that more than 80% of honeybees within many counties of Texas may be Africanized or a hybrid between the European and the highly aggressive Africanized species.
Various subspecies of honeybees are found around the world. Honeybees construct colonial nests out of wax known as hives to produce and store their honey that is used as their food source throughout their inactive winter months. Most hives we remove consist of 40-60 pounds of honeycomb as bees typically require 30-100 pounds of honey to survive the winter. We occasionally remove even larger hives that have ranged from 100-200 pounds of honeycomb.
If you see a swarm or cluster of bees in or around your home or office or see numerous bees flying in and out of cracks or gaps on the exterior, you are in need of bee removal and honeycomb removal. The Wildernex team of wildlife biologists is equipped to remove the bees and extract and clean all honeycomb from the interior voids within your structure. Bee removal can be very dangerous and should be left up to a licensed professional.

Turbulence generation for particles
I'm working on a model to describe dust explosions in OpenFoam and the turbulence model fails. In the flame front the particles were accelerated, and after that they slow down. For that reason I have high relative velocity they should have an impact on the turbulence (k-eps) model. I'm looking now for Papers on that topic, but can't find anything.
If somebody know a Paper about that pleas post the name of that Paper
Kind Regrades
To tell the truth, I think that particle dynamics can not be studied while using a RANS/URANS formulation...
I have something like a generation therm for k based on the relative velocity in mind. I thought about it, and a additional shear stress could be modeled with the relative velocity and the concentration for the mean particle distance.
