Four banded longhorn beetle . Leptura quadrifasciata formerly Strangalia quadrifasciata.
Leptura quadrifasciata (Linnaeus, 1758)
A very widely distributed albeit very local species occuring throughout mainland UK north to Easter Ross (Twinn and Harding), there are several areas with many post 1970 records; the southeast below the Thames, south Wales, the east midlands around the Humber and north Yorkshire; near coastal around Withy. Stated by Uhthoff-Neufmann (1988) to becoming scarcer. Although we have not recorded the species in our Watford area its presence should not be unexpected as they were common, in some years at least, during the late 1970's and through the 1980's at Harefield place nature reserve near Uxbridge, along the Colne valley to the south of us. The adult beetles fly readily in hot sunshine and visit a range of flowers: we have seen them on various umbels and they are known to frequent angelica, bracken, brambles, hawthorn, hogweed, meadowsweet, ragwort, rubus, spiraea, thistles, valerian and woody nightshade (Uhthoff-Neufmann loc. cit.).
The species is polyphagous with larvae developing in dead or decaying wood, especially lower parts of standing trees, stumps, felled trunks and branches down to 15cm in diameter (Alexander), they inhabit wet or dry wood but dry wood is needed for pupation. Larvae bore meandering galleries in the outer sapwood in May or June (Bily and Mehl). A wide range of hosts has been recorded including alder, aspen, beech, birch (which may be the preferred host), hazel, oak, poplar, sallow, willow, elder and also various conifers eg picea and spruce. The life cycle takes two to three years and infestations often continue for several years. Adults generally occur from June to August but have been recorded as early as March.
11-20mm. Apical antennal segments, four macula on each elytron and, in the female only, anterior tibiae pale, otherwise black. Entire body and appendages clothed with short and dense pubescence; pale over elytral maacula otherwise mostly black. Head obliquely inclined to longitudinal axis of body. Vertex roughly sculptured and depressed medially, surface below antennae, including labrum, densely punctured. Eyes transverse, anterior margin with a deep, curved incision. Temples short and prominent in front of a narrow and prominent neck. Antennae longer in male; reaching to elytral apex, in female to middle of elytra. Second antennal segment short; almost quadrate, remainder elongate. Pronotum slightly transverse; campanulate with sharp, obliquely protruding hind angles. Without lateral sculpture or margins, constricted behind front margin and with a deep transverse furrow in front of bisinuate hind margins. Surface widely depressed either side of middle, with fine and dense puncturation, the pubescence may be testaceous near the basal margin. Elyta around 2.2 times longer than broad at the humerus, surface lustrous with fine puncturation. Apices obliquely truncate or incurved, with an acute tooth at external angle and another weaker tooth at sutural angle. Legs long and robust, femora not, or only weakly, clavate. Tibiae without teeth but with two well developed spurs inside at apex. First metatarsomere as lonf as others combined. Last segment of tarsi long and curved. Claws smooth and with a small basal tooth.
Typical elytral pattern is black with four transverse testaceous macula but these may vary in extent and in extreme cases the elytra are black with a small yellow humeral spot (Bily and Mehl).
Two species may be casually mistaken for quadrifasciata. In Judolia sexmaculata (L.) the elytra are black with three transverse yellow marks and rounded apically. A mostly northern Scottish species.
In L.aurulenta the legs and basal antennal segments are red and the anterior and posterior margins of the pronotum are fringed with yellow pubescence. A rare southern, mostly near coastal, species.

The Measures used to distribute the Tichborne Dole, Friday, March 25, 2011. The Tichborne Dole is an ancient British tradition which dates back to the 12th century and takes place in the village of Tichborne near Alresford in Hampshire, England, every year on March 25th, Lady Day. According to legend, the almost cripple, Lady Mabel de Tichborne, on her death bed, requested that the value of a small portion of the estates of Tichborne should be given to the poor of the district annually in the nature of a dole. Her miserly husband Roger de Tichborne is reputed to have replied to his wife’s request by intimating he would give annually the value of as much land his wife was able to encompass while holding a flaming torch in her hand. Lady Mabel the legend says succeeded in circumventing twenty-three acres of land crawling most of the way on all fours. On completing of the task Lady Mabel charged her husband and his heirs to forever give annually the value of that land to the poor adding a curse, that should the dole ever be stopped then seven sons would be born to the house, followed immediately by a generation of seven daughters, after which the Tichborne name would die out and the ancient house fall into ruin. The distribution of the dole continued apparently without a break until 1794 when owing to abuse it was stopped by magistrates. Following a period of misfortunes to the family the dole was reinstated and continues today. The Dole is distributed to the inhabitants of the Parishes of Tichborne and Cheriton, adults receiving one gallon of flour and children half a gallon with a maximum of four gallons to a family.

A good cleaning of the upholstery can do great wonders to your home in general and your furniture. It is common for you to attempt cleaning your upholstery, but you may not have the tools and knowledge to do the job effectively. Below are some of the reasons why you should have your upholstery cleaned.
Appearance
After a thorough cleaning, you would be amazed how good your sofas and chairs can look. Besides removing any stains and spots, the gleam and brightness will be returned in the room. When you constantly clean your upholstery, you can retain the original colors making them look like new.
Smell
The fabric is normally an odor absorber as you may probably know. This means that people, shoes, pets, and anything else that may have probably sat on the furniture may have left some odor behind most probably. Other than just cleaning, professional cleaners of upholstery will deodorize your furniture making it smelling fresh.
Durability
Have you ever wondered what makes the fabric look dull or thin? It could probably be dust. Tiny dust particles contain jagged edges that are known to scratch upholstery fibers. Careful cleaning that will get rid of any dust extends the upholstered fabric life.
Eliminate Trapped Toxins and Pollutants
A Recent study shows that there is a high range of toxins and pollutants that can get trapped in your upholstery and carpet, from cockroach to dander allergens, heavy metals, and dirt. Each time you walk on your carpet, you create a disturbance on these allergens, and this could result to problems especially if you already having a health condition which is existing. By having the carpet cleaned, you help in the elimination of these toxins and leaving a pollutant free and a clean carpet.
Infestations
Your upholstery and carpet provide a great environment for mites and other critters which might infest your home. Although the critters do not in a direct way cause allergies, allergies may be caused by their feces. Since the remains and mites are too small, they can unknowingly be inhaled and cause a reaction to your family members and yourself. Heat remains an efficient way of these critters removal, and this all can be done through having your upholstery and carpet professionally cleaned.
Mold Growth
If the place that you live, there is high humidity you may probably notice that your carpets are highly prone to the growth of mold. This is particularly the case if the heat us on a lot of times in your home. Mold and fungi grow in these favorable conditions creating a health risk to your whole family and yourself. Professional carpet cleaning uses hot water extraction which destroys the mold and prevents them from ever coming back giving you and your family a peace of mind.
Once your upholstery is finished being cleaned, professional cleaners give you instructions and advice on how to take care of your furniture better.
Those are benefits of upholstery cleaning that every property owner should know.

CLIFTON, Colo.- A local company raises thousands of dollars for families of soldiers killed or wounded in the war.
Central Distributing raised $40,000 for the National Folds of Honor program by having auctions and fundraisers at Country Jam and Rock Jam.
The Folds of Honor foundation plans on using this generous donation to help spouses and children of American soldiers killed or disabled in service. "We were able to get Motley Crue, as well as Three Doors Down to autograph. A couple of Budweiser guitars and some other things to auction off as well and we were able to raise this fantastic amount of money for the charity," said Mark Smith, district manager of Central Distributing.
The money is one of the largest amounts raised by the Central Distributing team.

It is distributed from south west US through Central A merica to Panamá and Columbia. They can be found alone or in groups of young males and females from 10 to 50. They feed off insects, fruits and small vertabrates. Their diet can be disturbed when visitors offer bread or snacks, turning them obese and sometimes aggresive and destructive when trying to reach their goal.

Variety,The Children’s Charity of Iowa, distributed bikes, bike helmets and bike locks on Saturday, June 30th to 101 preselected children. The bikes were given to children who do not have bikes of their own and have been sponsored by Bank of America in Des Moines.

Volunteers from Bank of America and Young Variety helped make sure that all the bicycles and helmets were adjusted to fit each child.
