Loggerheads, Denbighshire
Loggerheads is a village in Denbighshire, Wales on the River Alyn, a tributary of the River Dee, Wales, River Dee. It is the location of Loggerheads Country Park which follows the course of the River Alyn through Karst topography, karstic limestone countryside including the sites of old lead Mining, mines and mills. There is a working flour mill on site. A leat or leete, built around 1824, follows the side of the valley nearby and was used to carry water to the lead mines of Mold Mines, on land owned by the Grosvenor (surname), Grosvenor family. It is now the popular Leete Walk. The name Loggerheads may come from the dispute over estate boundaries between the lordships of Mold, Flintshire, Mold and Llanferres. The final boundary is marked by ''Carreg Carn March Arthur'' which is said to bear the imprint of King Arthur, Arthur's horse's hoof after it jumped from the nearby mountain, Moel Famau.

Loggerhead Sponge
''Spheciospongia vesparium'', commonly known as the loggerhead sponge, is a species of sea sponge belonging to the family Clionaidae. While it is highly toxic to many fish, this sponge is eaten by certain angelfish and is known to form part of the diet of the hawksbill sea turtle (''Eretmochelys imbricata''). Description This massive sponge has varying forms in different locations. One common form is barrel-shaped or cake-shaped with a flattened top, but it may also be roughly globular or amorphous. The texture is firm, tough and dense. The surface is broadly undulating and rough, with a mixture of large and small osculi surrounded by groups of fine pores, each in diameter. The color of the sponge both inside and out is purplish, gray or brownish-black, and the surface is often partly obscured by sediment or by algae growing on it. Distribution and habitat This sponge is native to the Caribbean Sea and around the coasts of the Bahamas and Florida. It occurs on patch reefs and ...

Flag Of Shropshire
The Shropshire flag is the county flag of Shropshire. It was registered with the Flag Institute in March 2012 and officially became the county's flag on 19 April 2013. __TOC__ History The flag is a banner of the arms of the former Shropshire (or Salop) County Council which were awarded in 1895. The leopards' faces, referred to as "loggerheads" locally, are a traditional emblem for Shropshire and several of its towns. It is believed that the loggerheads derive from the Royal Arms of England and that the blue and yellow colours represent those of Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury. Loggerheads also appeared on the Shrewsbury town arms, themselves first recorded in 1623, solidifying their connections to the local area. The name is thought to have originated from the practice of carving such a design on the head of the log used as a battering ram. The "gold" erminois aspect differentiates the county arms/flag from those of its county town. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Loggerheads (play)
''Loggerheads'' was a 1925 Broadway three-act comedy written by Ralph Cullinan and produced by Barry Macollum and Whitford Kane with Macollum also playing Padna Collins and Kane playing Corny Halpin. It ran for 72 performances from February 9, 1925 to April 1925 at the Cherry Lane Theatre. Actress Gail Kane was not related to Whitford Kane. Time Magazine—from a February 23, 1925 article—says this about the play: "An Irish sea-coast comedy, with a sob here and there, slipped quietly into the tiny Cherry Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village and was welcomed quietly. In the main, it was an honest play, possessed one excellent performance, and was interesting to the audience scarcely at all. The story told of a feud patched up by the fisherman's daughter who wanted to be a nun. Amid the rolling of exceedingly old country “r's,” she married her mother off to the son of the hated opposition. Joanna Roos (as the daughter) gave the performance."

Common Knapweed
''Centaurea nigra'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, and is also known as lesser knapweed, common knapweed, black knapweed and bell weed. It is native to central Europe, and has been introduced to temperate North America and Australasia, where it is usually regarded as a noxious weed due to its fast spread, hardiness and competitive potential. Description ''Centaurea nigra'' is an upright herbaceous perennial plant, perennial growing up to c. 1 m (3.3 ft) in height. It produces spreading Rhizome, rhizomes. ''C. nigra'' initially produces a basal Rosette (botany), rosette of leaves, which are usually Glossary of leaf morphology, entire and up to 30 cm long (11.8 in).

Centaurea
''Centaurea'' () is a genus of over 700 species of herbaceous thistle-like flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Members of the genus are found only north of the equator, mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere; the Middle East and surrounding regions are particularly species-rich. Common names Common names for this genus are centaury, centory, starthistles, knapweeds, centaureas and the more ambiguous "bluets"; a vernacular name used for these plants in parts of England is "loggerheads" ( common knapweed). The ''Plectocephalus'' group – possibly a distinct genus – is known as basketflowers. "Cornflower" is used for a few species, but that term more often specifically means either '' C. cyanus'' (the annual cornflower) or '' Centaurea montana'' (the perennial cornflower). The common name "centaury" is sometimes used, although this also refers to the unrelated plant genus '' Centaurium''.Keil (2006), Keil & Ochsmann (2006). The name is said to be in reference to Ch ...
