On April 24th members of Local 2141, as well as members of Alexandria’s 38th Suppression Recruit Class, joined co-worker Monique Jackson-Asante and her family and friends to participate in the MDA’s Stride and Ride event at George Mason University. Local 2141 partnered with GMU’s Phi Kappa Alpha Fraternity to walk on behalf of Monique’s daughter Comfort who suffers from Myasthenia Gravis, a neuromuscular disease that causes muscle fatigue and weakness.

from Helvellyn, Cumbria, UK...never been this high before without mist / cloud blocking any view...found it jaw dropping scenery...
Had the dogs & the wife with me today; that's my excuse for not experiencing the Striding Edge route!

Baltic amber (50 MYO) - exstremely! rare iconic broad-shouldered water strider (Veliidae) leg - body length 3 mm. ID confirmed by Dávid Rédei (curator at the Natural History Museum in Hungary and specialist in Heteroptera)
See the entire Veliidae here www.flickr.com/photos/amber-inclusions/5448711487/in/phot...
Here is a quote from the book Life in amber by George O. Poinar, Jr. (ISBN 0-8047-2001-0) - It gives a feeling how rare they actually are:
"These small water striders occur on the surface of streams or ponds where they prey on other insects. A single report of a veliid in Baltic amber (Andersen, 1982) is the only record of this group in amber." (page 119, line 7-10)
Note that we have extracted Baltic amber and studied it scientifically since late 1700.

Water Striders (Gerridae) and Springtails.
Sturgeon Crossing, Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada.
August 16, 2010.
When I looked more closely at this image on my computer, I noticed quite a few Springtails (Collembola) scattered throughout the picture. They're very difficult to see at this resolution, so I'll upload a cropped, higher rez version at some point.
