Handy Fact: This comb actually has a razor in it and people always ALWAYS use it by accident at parties

Comb Wash is a valley in southeastern Utah, in San Juan County. It runs from Elk Ridge in the north approximately 35 miles (56 km) to the south, where it merges with the San Juan River at an elevation of about 4200 feet (1280 m). The eastern edge of the wash forms steep cliffs of Navajo Sandstone, rising in places to 1000 feet (300 m) above the valley floor.

 

On the western edge of Comb Wash is a series of canyons draining Cedar Mesa. To the north is Arch Canyon, which has Texas Canyon as an upper tributary. In the central section are Mule Canyon, Dry Wash, and the combined outlet of Fish and Owl Canyons. To the south are McCloyd's Canyon (containing the Moon House ruin) and Road Canyon. Scattered throughout these canyons are cliff dwellings of the Ancestral Puebloans.

 

State Route 95 crosses the northern part of Comb Wash, while U.S. Route 163 crosses further south. Running along the wash is a primitive road, often impassable after floods. Nearby are the Natural Bridges National Monument, the Grand Gulch Primitive Area, the Valley of the Gods scenic area, and Goosenecks State Park.

The combs that are covered over contain larvae that will soon hatch. This is called capped brood. When we took the hives apart to inspect them we found a lot of capped brood. These worker bees are busy feeding the larvae and capping off the combs.

Combing two passions;)

Isn't this one awesome?

 

A close up of the combs being sanitized in a jar, for use on customers at the beauty salon. I just love the hexagon shape of the jar, combined with the straight lines of the combs' teeth.

Combs, known as Kushi (櫛), are one of the most iconic types of Japanese hair ornaments. Their use hit an all-time high during the Edo Period (1603-1868) when the merchants, who held the most wealth but were extremely restricted in what they could wear by the government, found loopholes in the laws that allowed them to wear only a single comb, but they would have them made by famous artisans from the most expensive woods and tortoise shells. The wives of merchants competed to see who could have the most chic comb, which usually came down to shape and material. Since those laws have been lifted we now can appreciate combs being made from almost any material imaginable, with many new ones being made from resin instead of tortoise shell as the sale of tortoise shell is now highly restricted. The majority of the combs seen here are made from various woods, but most contain real gold paint known as Makie (蒔絵) and even inlaid seashells.

 

The peony one was actually a surprise gift for a friend ^^

Looks like the creature from The Abyss.This is no accident; I am told the creature was in fact modeled on this species of comb jelly.

Rasurador facial, bronce, mango de madera, cementerio este, tumba 1388, XVIII dinastía.

Este objeto apareció en una tumba femenina, la DM 1388l, pertenecient a la dama Satrè. La cabellera trenzada más bella de todo Deir el-Medina.

El cuerpo de Satrè medía 1, 62, no había sido momificada. Bruyère nos dice que sus negros cabellos descendían hasta su clavícula, sus dientes estaban en perfecto estado, y su pubis no había sido rasurado.

we gave him a little trim in the back. you can barely tell.

There has been a serious reduction in the number of Leidy's Comb Jellies (Mnemiopsis leidyi) in the local waters…and here is the culprit - The Pink Comb Jelly (beroe ovata). Like the Leidy's Comb Jelly this one feeds on zooplankton. But, while the Leidy's feeds mostly on oyster eggs and larvae, the pink comb jelly feeds mostly on the Leidy's Comb Jelly. We ran into and saw quite a few Pink Comb Jellies last Sunday. And no Leidy's.

We had a little trauma. His hair has been been unmanageable as he won't let me brush it. I had to cut off 2 dreadlocks off the back of his head. Finally, I got down and dirty and combed it. Doesn't he look slick?

Comb Jelly spreads out to dine- As this comb jelly drifts on the currents, it spreads two broad lobes out like nets to catch food, tiny prey sltick to the lobes, like flies to a spider's web. Then the food's swept by fine, little hairs toward the center to the comb jelly's waiting mouth.

The knob-billed duck, or comb duck, is an unusual, pan-tropical duck, found in tropical wetlands in sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar and south Asia from Pakistan to Laos and extreme southern China.
