Me and my friend had 3 plates of this!
Cholera causes rapid dehydration, so it is important to rehydrate the body with clean water. At the treatment centre, each patient receives a hygiene kit consisting of eight soap bars, 40 Aquatabs to purify drinking water, and a rehydrating oral solution that consists of sugar, salt, and light water. The solution replenishes the fluids lost from the body trough acute bouts of diarrhoea or vomiting.

A light yet belly filling traditional stew made with tender chunks of pork shoulder (this is my deduction from the texture and flavour), shredded chicken and white hominy. The soup is comforting and aromatic (likely due to the thin slick of chili oil and dried oregano gracing its surface) and brims with cool crunchy shredded lettuce and diced raw radishes that help quell the flavourful broth’s heat. I was most enamoured by the starchy fattened rehydrated corn kernels (hominy) that left me scraping the bowl clean. As if this hearty bowl wasn't already a feast, the pozole is accompanied by additional DIY garnishes including two crispy tostadas (whole fried corn tortillas), crema, lime wedges, hot sauce, diced onions and jalapeños. I sided the meal with a bottle of tamarind flavoured Jarritos ($2.60) - a popular Mexican soft drink - that’s mildly tart, plumy sweet and delightfully refreshing.
I collected a petiole gall from a yet to be identified tree. On cutting the specimen prior to fixing, I found it full of aphids (Pemphigus spp.) in an immature state. The aphids had wings, however, they could not survive outside the gall even long enough to get a photograph. On preparing the histological cross section of the gall, many of the aphids went along for the ride. This is a very opportunistic frontal plane section of an immature aphid showing the head. Of particular interest is the cross section of the two compound eyes showing the retinal cells and the lenses.
The protocol was as follows. Specimens fixed in FAA (formaldehyde, acetic acid, ethanol) 24 hr. Dehydrated in 35, 50, 75, 85, 95, 99 % IPA in water, 6 hours each min.

We were up early this morning taking pictures; but no doubt many people who celebrated St. Patrick's Day last night were still in bed . . . .and I don't envy those hangovers. . .
St. Patrick’s Day: Prepare for the Morning After
1. Be sure you have Bloody Mary mix and vodka on hand. Alcohol may well be the very last thing on your mind after raging all day/night Saturday, but the hair of the dog may be just the thing to ward off serious head pain.
2. Douse everything you eat on Sunday in hot sauce. I’m talking eggs, potatoes, mac n cheese… the works. I don’t know what it is, but copious amounts of spice always does the trick for me. A tall glass of milk is a nice accompaniment too, if you’re into it.
3. Plan not to make plans. Stay in your bed or on your couch. Wear comfy sweat pants and an oversized shirt. Keep the shades drawn. You get the picture.
Recovering from St. Patrick's Day
Raw Eggs: Two raw eggs for breakfast -- two more for lunch. Sworn to be successful by some major drink hards who claim the eggs neutralize the ethanol, also known as alcohol, in your system.
Two Advil every four hours: Stands to reason that getting rid of the pounding headache is the first priority. Advil does that so simple right?
Water, water: Buckets of it to rehydrate yourself, alcohol dries up the system so the only way is to swallow water by the gallon. Some claim drinking it the night before, before you fall asleep, works even better .
Sauna: Sweat the alcohol out, but be careful because you need to keep rehydrated. Besides who has a sauna?
Full Irish Breakfast: Nothing like a full Irish breakfast to get you back on the road to recovery. Normally eating something can help reduce the effects of alcohol excess and this is especially true when it comes to an Irish breakfast. Go the full hog with bacon, sausages, black and white pudding, mushrooms, fried tomato, fried eggs, soda bread, spud bread, baked beans and lashings of tea. If you don’t die of a heart attack your hangover will be cured.
Swim in the Atlantic: Nothing like a dip in the sub-zero Atlantic to banish the hangover blues. It may seem like an insane idea, but the shock to your system of running into the cold water will instantly refresh your mind and body. Please ensure you are fully sober when trying this out and always have a flask of hot tea on hand for when you exit. If this seems too extreme then a walk in the fresh air will also help.
Vats of Tea with friends: There are few things in Ireland that cannot be cured with a cup of tea. When that hangover feeling sets in, throw on the kettle, get the teapot ready and find your largest mug. If lucky enough to still be in the company of friends, the ultimate cure involves sitting around for a post mortem of the previous night’s events, sipping hot cups of Irish tea. Ah delicious.
Duvet day complete with favorite films: If your hangover is particularly intense then abandon all hope of leaving the house and just stay in bed for the day. Getting your laptop geared up, order some food in perhaps and just relax in the comfort of your home. Leaving the house today is not an option.
The Cure- hair of the dog: Essentially a very Irish answer to a hangover is to get right back up on that high stool and order another drink. “The hair of the dog” can often be the best solution to that horrific headache. When it seems nothing can take the edge away, just breathe a sigh of inevitability as you walk through the door of your local pub, retracing your movements from the night before. If you can’t beat the hangover then distill it.
I first heard of plans for a Sober St. Patrick celebration in New York City (www.soberstpatricksday.org). Is it possible to have fun without alcohol? For decades, I didn’t believe so. Every social event – even afternoon tea! – was accompanied by drinks. “Drinks before dinner, drinks with dinner and after-dinner drinks” was how I defined the high life. Brunch with visiting friends was an opportunity for morning drinks. Parties were for drinking; socializing was both an excuse and an optional extra. Pubs were for drinking amid more-or-less sparkling conversation. If you didn’t drink, didn’t buy your round, I hardly wanted to know you. How could you be in my life if you didn’t like to drink the way I did?
When the drinking finally ended for me, I believed myself exiled to some purgatory where there wouldn’t be any more laughs. I was misinformed. The mission of Sober St. Patrick’s Day stands firmly in favor of fun. “We are not a glum lot,” say the organizers. Amen, say I. Billed as an alternative experience and a new kind of party, Sober St. Patrick’s Day offers music, conversation, entertainment, family-friendly fun at an alcohol-free afternoon right in the middle of Manhattan: “A grand celebration of Irish culture” – without green beer!
The Sober St. Patrick’s Day party is independent of Alcoholics Anonymous. Sober fun lovers aren’t limited to 12-steppers, and party-goers won’t be identified as addicts unless we choose to break our own anonymity. However, there will be an adjacent Al-Anon meeting beforehand and an Open AA meeting afterward for those who wish to attend.
This is a bright field longitudinal section through the rhizoids of Liverwort Conocephalum sp. These are single cell structures which anchor the thallus to the ground. Water is conducted to the thallus via capillary action between the rhizoids. Those shown here are pegged rhizoids which are dead cells at maturity. Smooth rhizoids should also be found in this liverwort, however, I have not yet located them. In the fresh specimen, the rhizoids were surrounded by a clear mucilaginous layer. No attempt was made to remove this material prior to fixing. (J.G.Duckett, et.al., "Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society"[174] 68-92 (2014))
The protocol was as follows. Specimens fixed in FAA (formaldehyde, acetic acid, ethanol) 24 hr. Dehydrated in IPA at 35, 50, 70, 85, 91, 95, 99 %. Infiltrated with paraplast saturated xylene 48 hr followed by 2 Paraplast baths prior to embedding in Paraplast. Sectioned 11 um thick on a Spencer 820 microtome. Rehydrated 99 (10 min), 95, 85, 70 % IPA, 2 min. each. Stained Gill's Hematoxylin 10 sec. Washed 3 min running water. Blued in 0.05 % lithium carbonate 30 s. Water rinse 1 min. Stained 1 % aq.

100% pure Argan Oil for Skin and Hair Care
ARGAN OIL FOR SKIN :
The polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E present in the oil have excellent antioxidant qualities. These substances promote oxygenation within the cells and neutralize the adverse effects of free radicals. This way the oil provides protection to the skin and restores the vital nutrients inside the skin cells.
Argan oil moisturizes the skin. In fact, it is far more effective as compared to any other natural skin moisturizer like olive oil or shea butter. This is because it does not contain any cholesterol. Moreover, its fatty acids improve the skin tone further.
People with oily skin are extremely bothered by the excessive oiliness caused by overproduction of sebum. Argan oil can reduce this greasy feeling of the oily skin. It has the ability to control the action of sebum, the oily substance released by the oil glands present under the skin.
This oil has amazing antimicrobial properties which enables it to fight off skin infections like acne. It also brings down skin inflammation and irritation to a great extent. For all these qualities, it is popularly used for treating various skin disorders like eczema, psoriasis, etc.
Argan oil helps to maintain the pH balance of the skin. Thus it protects the skin from the harmful effects of sun exposure, pollution, mental stress, smoking, etc.
It can reduce the appearance of the ugly marks left behind by acne, chickenpox, and even the scars of skin injuries caused by burns.
You can use it for wrinkle treatment. With aging, our skin tends to lose its natural elastic properties and visible signs of wrinkles appear on skin surface. Regular application of argan oil rehydrates the skin, restores its natural elasticity, and thus tightens up the skin. This way the anti-aging properties of the oil nourishes the aging skin and controls wrinkles.
During pregnancy, stretch marks appear on the abdomen as the skin is overstretched. Pregnant women can safely use argan oil products on their abdomen to improve the skin condition and prevent stretch marks on it.
Those women who mostly use mineral makeup tend to get dry skin after some time. Such a problem can be avoided with the regular use of argan oil. All you have to do is to apply one or two drops of this oil on the facial skin, 5 minutes before the application of makeup. This will keep the skin hydrated and prevent drying of the skin.
Argan oil can also be used for hair care and nail care. When applied on scalp skin, it eliminates dandruff and prevents hair loss. You can get rid of the problems of brittle nails with the help of this oil, as it has a strengthening effect on the nails.

Uranyl nitrate solution was used to hydrate 15mL of DAP Plaster of Paris mix. The result showed hardly any green uranyl fluorescence, what could be seen was yellowish green. The plaster was then rehydrated using a concentrated sodium carbonate solution. The water was evaporated and the mixture was then calcined at ~150 degC for 4 hours in an oven. It was then rehydrated using a sodium carbonate solution. The plaster mix bubbled for about a half hour releasing much CO2 gas. After drying a coating of yellowish crystals formed on the surface.

Dr.Jonathan Reed's Alien Encounter
Dr.Jonathan Reed -Alien Encounter-Real Alien Encounter
Best Evidence of Alien Contact in The History of Mankind
-Case of Dr.Jonathan Reed
His alien encounter originated on October 15, 1996, in the Cascade Mountains east of Seattle near Snoqualmie Pass.
While still in the mountains,Dr. Jonathan Reed came across the creature by accident while he and his dog were hiking in the forest. For unknown reasons his dog apparently attacked the creature. The creature, in reaction to the dog attacking it, began to defend itself. Dr.Jonathan Reed, seeing his dog was losing the battle with the creature, picked up a large tree branch and struck the creature in the head. Thinking he had killed it - he eventually ended up bringing the creature home.-Dr Jonathan Reed on the Art Bell Radio Program,Dec 9, 1999 .
((FULL INTERVIEW))
Art Bell: Somewhere in Time
The following is a brief synopsis of the forensic evidence presented by Mr. Harold Chacon. an indepent cellular biologist and Ph.D. candidate on the Art Bell show, December 9th, 1999.
---
Four tissue samples and one 'blood' sample were delivered to Harold Chacon in a medical, nitrogen-cooled sample container. Each sample was wrapped in linen gauze. The samples were delivered to Mr. Chacon in June of 1999.
Dr. Reed took the samples during his 1996 examination of the creature with his friend Gary. The samples were taken from the head wound inflicted by Dr. Reed. The blood sample was taken from fluids draining from wound. The tissue samples were cut from the edges of the wound. The samples were small - say one fifth the size of a pencil eraser.
This particular set of samples was preserved by Gary and given to Jonathan by people that are currently taking care of Gary. Gary had previously sent the samples to his caretakers unbeknownst to Jonathan shortly after the 1996 examination. They were recovered during a reunion with Gary early in 1999.
A transmission microscope survey, an electron scanning microscope survey and a gel electrophoresis chromosome analysis were performed using the samples.
Tissue Sample 1 and 2:
These two tissue samples contained skin and attached muscles. The skin resembles the superficial fascia of human skin. It is more elastic than human skin and has no hair nor hair follicles. The subcutaneous tissue has about one half as many sebaceous or fat producing glands as does human skin.
Mr. Chacon stated that the skin is not like any earth animal although it is something like reptile skin.
The muscle tissue resembles the occipital frontalis muscle of a human but is a yellowish-pinkish color instead of the normal gray color found in humans. Another intersecting muscle resembling the temporal fascia muscle similar to a human's was also discovered. The muscle tissues were found attached to the skin.
These samples are not like tissues from any known earthly species.
The Fluid Sample:
The fluid sample had become desiccated and was rehydrated prior to analysis. Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Nitrogen gases were found in the sample. Extremely high traces of copper sulfate were also found. White and red corpuscles with an elevated nucleus were discovered as well. None of the material is like known earthly blood material.
A Gel electrophoresis study was performed using the red cells to determine the chromosome makeup. The sample revealed 46 chromosomes, just like a human and all but nine of these chromosomes are shared with humans.
The nine dissimilar chromosomes are somewhat like those found in dolphins and certain sea tortoises.
No record of chromosomes like these could be found in any database searched by Mr. Chacon and his colleagues. When asked if there was any way to hoax the chromosome samples, Mr. Chacon replied that there is no possible way to create them using any known earthly technology.
Tissue Sample 3 and 4:
The last two samples contain brain matter. One sample resemble the insulating bag that cushions the brain from the skull. The tissue lining resembles reptilian tissue but contains strange structures not found in any earth species.
Some tissue of the exterior of the brain itself was found attached to the lining sample. It contained very unusual structures as well. These structures appear to be large nerve bundles that emerge from the within the brain and loop back down into it.
Neither brain tissue sample resembles any known tissue ever discovered.

White cloud ears 云耳 are another Chinese delicacy. They don't have much flavour to them, but you can boil them quickly for a crunchy texture, or stew them so that they go soft and silky.
The cheaper 黑木耳 black wood ears are often used, blanched, in salads, in stir fries, or stewed with pork.
Here, I've made a chicken soup with 莲子 lotus seeds, 百合 lily bulbs and longan 龙眼 and added the cloud ear fungus about half an hour before serving so that they are soft and silky, but still retain a firmness.

Looking south along the Abhainn Loch an Nid from the Corrie Hallie track.
These six Munros (Beinn a' Chlaidheimh, Sgurr Ban, Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair, Beinn Tarsuinn, A' Mhaighdean and Ruadh Stac Mor) can be knocked off in a single - but very long - day from the bothy at Shenavall. Instead, I'd opted for a more leisurely 2-day round, with the intention of bivvying somewhere between Beinn Tarsuinn and A' Mhaighdean. Even so it would still be a fairly demanding challenge, involving a walk of 38 km and a climb of 3000m. Although I'd done several backpacking trips in the Scottish Highlands many years earlier, this would be the first time I'd used a bivvy bag, and so it was all something of an adventure!
I'd left the car off the A832 a short distance beyond the bridge over Dundonnell River, 4 km short of Corrie Hallie - the traditional starting point for the Fisherfield hills. I'd cut across the 2 km of pathless terrain to the west so as to pick up the track at about the 370 m contour, thus saving a climb of about 200 m and a few kms of walking as well. Thankfully this shortcut proved to be fairly easy going - although I wouldn't recommend it after a prolonged spell of wet weather!

Map and starting point: OS Sheet 19, GR 120816
The forecast the previous evening was very encouraging for both Monday and the following morning, and so the prospects looked promising for the “Fisherfield 6”. This was a route that had been long in the planning, and I had spent many hours poring over the map and studying the guidebooks devising a strategy. It was not only the sheer length of the route, but also the remoteness of the hills and the critical river crossings - impassable in spate - that added to the challenge. However, if the Munros were ever going to be a reality, then I had to complete this round.
The Fisherfield 6 was supposed to have been the crux route during my last stay in Strathpeffer the previous year, but I’d had to abandon such an ambitious scheme after contracting laryngitis! Despite being in good health this time around (the excursion up Braeriach the previous day had “fixed” my tedious back condition) I was convinced that circumstances would in some way again conspire to prevent me from taking this route on. So I was giddy with anticipation the previous evening whilst packing my rucksack for my first ever 2 day Munroing expedition - and in wilderness country to boot!
I was therefore more than a little disappointed the following morning to wake up to an overcast sky and to hear that the forecast for the day had been radically revised overnight, with the promised long spells of sunshine replaced with something considerably less favourable. However, I decided to go for it anyway, as there was no guarantee that the weather would be any better later in the week, and I was just not prepared to skip such a critical route for the second consecutive year.
I left the car at a parking spot off the A832 a short distance beyond the bridge over Dundonnell River, 4 km short of Corrie Hallie, which was the traditional starting point for the Fisherfield hills. The intention was to cut across the 2 km of trackless terrain to the west so as to pick up the track from Corrie Hallie to Achneigie at about the 370 m contour: this would save a climb of about 200 m and a few kms of walking as well. In view of the demanding nature of the expedition, I took the unusual precaution of leaving a brief description of the route and my intended day of return in the car window (“Fisherfield 6 - clockwise. Back Tuesday”!).
My rucksack was not too heavy - about 20 lbs according the bathroom scales in caravan - despite bearing the extra weight of the sleeping bag, goretex bivvy bag, stove, food for 2 days, carrymat and sandals for river crossings; however, I set a deliberately slow pace in order to minimise the risk of injury or early fatigue. I crossed the rough ground to the track without too much difficulty: I had half expected a quagmire but the going was quite good. Thence a pleasant stroll towards the Abhainn Loch an Nid at the foot of the ENE ridge of Beinn a’ Chlaidheimh, stopping along the way to take a few snaps with my compact camera (my SLR being both too bulky and too heavy) down the glens to the west and south, both looking impressive.
I was very relieved to see the clouds beginning to lift from the target ridge, as I had not made any allowance for route finding delays at the planning stage, on the grounds that I would only be taking this route on in good weather!
I walked 2 km down the track on the east side of the river till I was more or less due east of the 780 m col to the south of the Beinn a’ Chlaidheimh summit: this seemed to me to be the easiest route of ascent, but was not mentioned in any of the guidebooks. I stone stepped across the river, stopped for a short snack and rest, and then set off on the 600 m climb up the flank of the hill. I felt quite fit and more or less kept going till reaching the col, passing by the side of an impressive rocky gorge towards the top - surprisingly not marked on the map. I disturbed a ptarmigan with a clutch of young chicks en route and kept a respectful distance whilst watching numerous “cheap-cheaping” yellow feathery balls (I had left my glasses behind to save weight!) eventually converge on the distraught “coo-cooing” mother.
The clouds were now above the mountain tops and so I was rewarded with a spectacular view of the surrounding hills - the complex Beinn Dearg Mor dominating the scene. I left my rucksack at the col and made my way up to the summit ridge, keeping to the rockier western aspect so as to enjoy a bit of light scrambling. Easily to the summit cairn, with the magnificent An Teallach now in full view. Thence a pleasant stroll along the narrow - but unexposed - ridge to the second top, which surprisingly was not adorned by a cairn, and then back to the col.
I decided to give my newly acquired catalytic gas stove its first outdoor trial and so started to boil some water for soup. Despite the fact that there was only a light breeze I found it necessary to shield the stove with my Karrimat in order to bring water to the boil on a reasonable timescale. This was disappointing as the sole reason for buying the stove (which was both expensive AND relatively heavy) was the claim that it could be used in a wind!
Thence down to the foot of the NE ridge of Sgurr Ban, passing the first 2 fellow hill walkers of the day en route. After a short climb I decided to cut some way across the north face of the hill in order to avoid the tedious quartzite scree. I was now beginning to tire somewhat and questioned whether the plan to bivvy at the col beyond Beinn Tarsuinn was realistic. Also with the sun now shining virtually continuously I was beginning to worry about the lack of water on the ridge, as even the well established water courses were bone dry. However, I kept going at a steady pace and eventually gained the north ridge of the hill with less than 100 m of climbing to go. After a short rest I made way to large summit cairn and began to enjoy the day again.
Thence down to the next col with the way ahead up the Mullach looking impossibly steep. Thankfully I found a small patch of snow at the foot of the climb and I crammed my water bottle with icy crystals, and enjoyed a refreshingly cool drink. I was now feeling fit again, gaining the summit of the hill without further rest: the planned route was on!
I caught sight of the stalkers path contouring around the NW face of Meall Garbh en route to the next col, and made a point of memorising the adjacent rock features to ensure that I could still find it following descent - so many prominent paths viewed from on high fail to materialise on the ground! An enjoyable traverse on virtually the only section of path so far encountered on the ridge.
Thence a slow ascent to the summit of Beinn Tarsuinn - the fourth and final Munro of the day - over some unexpectedly complex and undulating terrain.
The curving Tarsuinn summit ridge was now in full view, and looking extremely enticing, with the strange rock table referred to by Butterfield being a prominent feature. With the sun now shining continuously and just a gentle breeze blowing, with brilliant views of a distant An Teallach to the north and Slioch to the south, and with all the hard work for the day done, I really savoured this section of the route: definitely the highlight of the expedition. I stuck more or less to the crest of the ridge - exposed in places - and followed it till gaining easier ground on the left and then dropped down towards the col. Without doubt Beinn Tarsuinn would be a very popular hill if it were a tad closer to the road!
I found a level piece of dry ground close to a small burn and sheltered from the breeze, and then set myself up for the night. I was ravenously hungry after the exertions of the day and quickly downed 2 portions of rehydrated “Lancashire Hotpot” (Peak Performance foods) which under the circumstances was palatable. I followed that up with a delicious “Angel Delight” mixed cold, then a few cups of coffee with yoghurt coated muesli bars - excellent.
By now the sun now just setting behind A’ Mhaighdean - a dramatic sight, and the perfect end to a perfect day’s hillwalking. I could hardly believe that it had all gone to plan, especially in view of the less than encouraging forecast - there were so many things that could have gone wrong!
I kept my socks and Ron Hills on, but replaced my T-shirt and top - which were both damp with sweat - with a thermal vest and spare polartec sweatshirt. Then into the sleeping bag and goretex bivvy bag.
From previous experience of nights in the hills (all in a small backpacking tent) I did not even attempt to sleep and instead whiled away the hours listening to a miniature headphone radio which I had bought specifically for this outing - tolerable reception. I had been looking forward to a bit of star gazing as a clear - and hence cold - night had been forecast; but the sky clouded over before darkness fell: a bit disappointing but at least it kept the frost away.
I started to prepare for the off at about 05:00 hours with a breakfast of coffee and muesli bars. It was an overcast and chilly morning but at least it wasn’t raining - yet!
I found it difficult to develop a rhythm initially but eventually got into my stride and managed to reach the summit of A’ Mhaighdean with only one short rest half-way up. By now it was raining continuously but thankfully the mountain tops were generally in the clear, although the views were rather restricted. Nevertheless, it was a rewarding experience to be atop the most remote of the Munros at such an early hour: 07:00!
Easily down to the col towards the intimidating west face of Ruadh Stac Mor. Thankfully I managed to pick out the line of a path slanting up to the left during the descent. This path was not mentioned in any of the guidebooks and consequently I had been anxious about this section of the route, as from the map the summit appeared to be well defended by a continuous line of crags, and scrambling on wet rock in such a remote region would have been risky.
I had a short break from the persistent drizzle and chilling wind in the excellent howff beneath the cairn at the col and then set off up the final Fisherfield Munro, reaching the summit without difficulty or rest. It was still only 08:00 hours and I was on my second peak of the day! Now just the small matter of the long walk out - all 15 km of it!
Easily down the gentle gradient to Lochan a’ Bhraghad, stopping to make a few sand castles on the shore with my plastic mug: a near perfect replica of the 6 Fisherfield Munros with “You are here” helpfully scribbled in the sand! I felt a bit guilty about such an act of desecration in this hallowed spot until I saw that I’d been beaten to it: “Anyone for a swim” !
Thence over trackless terrain to pick up the excellent path down Glean na Muice Beag, and thence along Glean na Muic towards Larachantivore, passing numerous backpackers en route, and several tents pitched just a few yards off the path. There was certainly no sense of Wilderness Country in the Fisherfield glens!
I was by now beginning to feel extremely tired and a wee bit peeved about the relentless rain, which by this stage was seeping through my aged - but recently re-proofed - cagoule. I had seriously underestimated the demands of the second day under the prevailing conditions, and the route was beginning to take its toll, both physically and mentally.
Thankfully the level of the Abhainn Gleann na Muice was surprisingly low in view of the persistent downpour and I managed to skip across without getting my feet too wet. Thence a very tedious slog across a kilometre or so of quagmire towards Shenaval. Although the Abhainn Strath na Sealga was knee-deep in places I was by now too tired to change into sandals, and so just waded through in my boots, getting a thorough soaking in the process.
Thence a never-ending pull up the 300 m climb from the bothy to the east of Sail Liath, stopping every 10 minutes for a rest, and consuming all my remaining rations along the way. Eventually to the Corrie Hallie track and thence a tiresome plod across the rough terrain to the road, arriving back at the car in a state of near collapse.
My first ever 2-day Munroing expedition, and a very memorable experience!

Dr.Jonathan Reed's Alien Encounter
Dr.Jonathan Reed -Alien Encounter-Real Alien Encounter
Best Evidence of Alien Contact in The History of Mankind
-Case of Dr.Jonathan Reed
His alien encounter originated on October 15, 1996, in the Cascade Mountains east of Seattle near Snoqualmie Pass.
While still in the mountains,Dr. Jonathan Reed came across the creature by accident while he and his dog were hiking in the forest. For unknown reasons his dog apparently attacked the creature. The creature, in reaction to the dog attacking it, began to defend itself. Dr.Jonathan Reed, seeing his dog was losing the battle with the creature, picked up a large tree branch and struck the creature in the head. Thinking he had killed it - he eventually ended up bringing the creature home.-Dr Jonathan Reed on the Art Bell Radio Program,Dec 9, 1999 .
((FULL INTERVIEW))
Art Bell: Somewhere in Time
The following is a brief synopsis of the forensic evidence presented by Mr. Harold Chacon. an indepent cellular biologist and Ph.D. candidate on the Art Bell show, December 9th, 1999.
---
Four tissue samples and one 'blood' sample were delivered to Harold Chacon in a medical, nitrogen-cooled sample container. Each sample was wrapped in linen gauze. The samples were delivered to Mr. Chacon in June of 1999.
Dr. Reed took the samples during his 1996 examination of the creature with his friend Gary. The samples were taken from the head wound inflicted by Dr. Reed. The blood sample was taken from fluids draining from wound. The tissue samples were cut from the edges of the wound. The samples were small - say one fifth the size of a pencil eraser.
This particular set of samples was preserved by Gary and given to Jonathan by people that are currently taking care of Gary. Gary had previously sent the samples to his caretakers unbeknownst to Jonathan shortly after the 1996 examination. They were recovered during a reunion with Gary early in 1999.
A transmission microscope survey, an electron scanning microscope survey and a gel electrophoresis chromosome analysis were performed using the samples.
Tissue Sample 1 and 2:
These two tissue samples contained skin and attached muscles. The skin resembles the superficial fascia of human skin. It is more elastic than human skin and has no hair nor hair follicles. The subcutaneous tissue has about one half as many sebaceous or fat producing glands as does human skin.
Mr. Chacon stated that the skin is not like any earth animal although it is something like reptile skin.
The muscle tissue resembles the occipital frontalis muscle of a human but is a yellowish-pinkish color instead of the normal gray color found in humans. Another intersecting muscle resembling the temporal fascia muscle similar to a human's was also discovered. The muscle tissues were found attached to the skin.
These samples are not like tissues from any known earthly species.
The Fluid Sample:
The fluid sample had become desiccated and was rehydrated prior to analysis. Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Nitrogen gases were found in the sample. Extremely high traces of copper sulfate were also found. White and red corpuscles with an elevated nucleus were discovered as well. None of the material is like known earthly blood material.
A Gel electrophoresis study was performed using the red cells to determine the chromosome makeup. The sample revealed 46 chromosomes, just like a human and all but nine of these chromosomes are shared with humans.
The nine dissimilar chromosomes are somewhat like those found in dolphins and certain sea tortoises.
No record of chromosomes like these could be found in any database searched by Mr. Chacon and his colleagues. When asked if there was any way to hoax the chromosome samples, Mr. Chacon replied that there is no possible way to create them using any known earthly technology.
Tissue Sample 3 and 4:
The last two samples contain brain matter. One sample resemble the insulating bag that cushions the brain from the skull. The tissue lining resembles reptilian tissue but contains strange structures not found in any earth species.
Some tissue of the exterior of the brain itself was found attached to the lining sample. It contained very unusual structures as well. These structures appear to be large nerve bundles that emerge from the within the brain and loop back down into it.
Neither brain tissue sample resembles any known tissue ever discovered.

he Cause of Red Eyes in Photos:
Light from the camera's flash jets across the room, penetrates your eyes at an incredible rate and causes your pupils to attempt to process the unexpected intrusion. The attempt fails and the flash mingles with the numerous blood vessels of the eye and reflects off the retina and back through the vessels to the camera lens, causing your eyes to look demonic.
In other words.... you can only get the red eye phenomenon in living organisms with lenses in the eyes. It takes real retinas to reflect the camera flash.
Volunteer St. Simon Magalie is playing with Joe (4) at the General Hospital in Haiti, Port-au-Prince.
The boy was found by himself outside the hospital, just after the earthquake.
Other patients are helping him and share their water and food. In addition the psychosocial team from the Red Cross Red Crescent is taken care of him, and making sure that he is rehydrated, and will be taken care of at a local orphanage.
The needs of the patients at the General Hospital in Port-au-Prince are enormous, both medical, physical and psycho-social.
Red Cross medical teams from Norway, Canada, Israel and Haiti are working at the clinic, including specially trained volunteers who are attending to both the patients and the hospital personals psychological needs after the earthquake.

The most deconstructed Mac & Cheese of all time?
Have you ever thought leeks would make beautiful, long noodles if you just cut them lengthwise? Me too.
For next time: Nutritional Yeast for legit cheesiness. There was definitely something about those creamy cooked leeks and bright orange pumpkin that was cheesy...
THIS WAS SO EASY, p.s.
Seriously:
Rehydrate TVP chunks in Onion Broth. Let them sit and soak up while you chop dem leeks. I had about 1 cup TVP in about 1½ cups hot broth.
Cut two leeks lengthwise. I use the green tops too. They're as chewy as they are flavorful (VERY).
In a large pot put some olive oil. Throw in your leeks and TVP with whatever broth is left (hopefully barely any). As they cook and brown, add extra water/broth powder.
Add canned pumpkin, maybe about 1½ cups or more.
Add some Braggs, Garlic Powder, Salt & Pepper.
Add chickpeas, cause you have about 1 cup leftover in the fridge for no reason..
Throw fresh chives on top when you serve/take a picture like it's 1989.
1 box of ziti
2 cups rehydrated textured vegetable protein (TVP), use broth to add flavor.
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce.
6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced.
1 1/2 cups sour cream.
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded.
Prep: 20 m
Cook: 35 m
Ready In: 55 m
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook until a little over al dente, about 15 minutes then drain.
In a large skillet, brown onions and textured vegetable protein over medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer as follows: 1/2 of the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, 1/2 sauce mixture, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese and remaining sauce mixture.
Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.

ARGAN OIL FOR SKIN :
The polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E present in the oil have excellent antioxidant qualities. These substances promote oxygenation within the cells and neutralize the adverse effects of free radicals. This way the oil provides protection to the skin and restores the vital nutrients inside the skin cells.
Argan oil moisturizes the skin. In fact, it is far more effective as compared to any other natural skin moisturizer like olive oil or shea butter. This is because it does not contain any cholesterol. Moreover, its fatty acids improve the skin tone further.
People with oily skin are extremely bothered by the excessive oiliness caused by overproduction of sebum. Argan oil can reduce this greasy feeling of the oily skin. It has the ability to control the action of sebum, the oily substance released by the oil glands present under the skin.
This oil has amazing antimicrobial properties which enables it to fight off skin infections like acne. It also brings down skin inflammation and irritation to a great extent. For all these qualities, it is popularly used for treating various skin disorders like eczema, psoriasis, etc.
Argan oil helps to maintain the pH balance of the skin. Thus it protects the skin from the harmful effects of sun exposure, pollution, mental stress, smoking, etc.
It can reduce the appearance of the ugly marks left behind by acne, chickenpox, and even the scars of skin injuries caused by burns.
You can use it for wrinkle treatment. With aging, our skin tends to lose its natural elastic properties and visible signs of wrinkles appear on skin surface. Regular application of argan oil rehydrates the skin, restores its natural elasticity, and thus tightens up the skin. This way the anti-aging properties of the oil nourishes the aging skin and controls wrinkles.
During pregnancy, stretch marks appear on the abdomen as the skin is overstretched. Pregnant women can safely use argan oil products on their abdomen to improve the skin condition and prevent stretch marks on it.
Those women who mostly use mineral makeup tend to get dry skin after some time. Such a problem can be avoided with the regular use of argan oil. All you have to do is to apply one or two drops of this oil on the facial skin, 5 minutes before the application of makeup. This will keep the skin hydrated and prevent drying of the skin.
Argan oil can also be used for hair care and nail care. When applied on scalp skin, it eliminates dandruff and prevents hair loss. You can get rid of the problems of brittle nails with the help of this oil, as it has a strengthening effect on the nails.
Argan oil penetrates deeply into hair follicles( hair grows in follicles) , strenghtens hair and thus help to prevent the hair loss.
Due to affecting the blood circulation positie way, argan oil help to keep the skin cell live
It helps to repair as well as prevent the occurrence of split ends caused by several factors.
As argan oil contains unsaturated Omega 3 and Omega 9 fatty acids, so it is able to penetrate the hair shaft and repair damaged hair follicles.
It also increases shine of lackluster dry hair by locking in the moisture.
Unlike other hair oil, argan oil is non greasy and non oily and therefore it does not weight down hair making it limp.
Argan oil is ideal for taming rough, dry, frizzy and unmanageable hair.
It is light and almost weightless so there is less probability of build up.
For those who have damaged their hair with too much of hair straightening and other chemical treatments, argan oil can help in restoring the lost luster.
Many people with color treated hair complain of rough hair and color fading. Regular application of argan oil on color treated hair can help in keeping the color intact for a greater duration and it would also prevent any dryness.
Argan oil is immediately absorbed by the hair and it restores the lost moisture.
It also acts as a shield for harmful UV rays and protects the hair from environmental pollution.
Because it has a high content of vitamin E, argan oil is very effective for hair growth too.
It nourishes hair from the root, strengthening it, thereby preventing hair loss.
Argan oil is very good for uncontrollable and manageable hair. It restores the smoothness of hair make them manageable again.

These beans are part of a breeding project. The bean pods are dry, but there are still a lot of green leaves and moisture in the plants. We would have preferred to harvest the plants after they were fully dry and the leaves had fallen off. However, we needed to harvest now because a rain was threatening, and if beans with dry pods get rained on, the pods rehydrate, and many beans split. In addition, plants and beans may mold.
This is a transverse section of a spindle gall found on a leaf of an unidentified shrub found along the Dowagiac River. A photo of the same shrub from last year is at: www.flickr.com/photos/14643312@N02/6965590544. Although not shown in this section the empty sections in the center are where the larval stage of a mite developes. The gall was red before processing. The gall is a growth of the leaf in response to the damage and presence of the egg laying mite. Thus, the structures in the gall are those of the leaf, with the vascular bundles connected to those of the leaf. This is the second histological specimen I have prepared and the first stained using a Hematoxylin-Eosin protocol.

not quite the quick meal that mom and dad used to prepare for the peanut butter and jelly kids, or the canned “meal” that mr. boy-ar-dee made so well. this batch of spaghetti and meatballs started from a pork butt, a thick beef round steak, a pound or so of semolina flour, half a dozen eggs, a stale loaf of bread, half a dozen medium tomatoes on the vine, a head of garlic, and fresh herbs and spices. oh yeah, and a small can of tomato paste (which probably wasn't even necessary).
took six or eight medium sized vined tomatoes and cut them in half, down the axis of the stem, then sliced a few times perpendicular to the cut about 1/4-in deep. squeezing each tomato half (like one of those gross rubber change purses), opening the 1/4-in cuts, a mixture of minced garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper, and balsamic vinegar, was rubbed into the cuts and across the halved surfaces. the tomatoes were then placed (cut side up) on parchment paper and roasted on a medium rack in a 200-degree oven for about 2.5-hrs. then set aside, covered.
made up a batch of pasta dough with 1-lb of sifted semolina flour, 4-eggs and a splash of water (to the desired consistency), then tossed that in the refridgerator for a while, and then rolled out and cut into spaghetti with the hand-crank pasta machine. tossed it around in a bowl of all-purpose flour to avoid sticking and then set aside.
coarsely ground a three pound pork butt and one pound round beef steak, making sure to keep it cold up until right before grinding (easier to work with). took one pound of the ground pork and put it in the freezer for a later meal, and a handful of the combination of beef and pork was set aside for the sauce. a pureed half of a spanish onion, four or five cloves of minced garlic, about 1.5c. of chopped parsley, 1.5c. of freshly ground breadcrumbs (recycled a stale loaf of italian bread by pulsing in the food processor) rehydrated in enough whole milk to make a mushy consistency, 1.c of coarsely shredded emmental cheese, an egg, 1T. of olive oil, fresh ground pepper, and kosher salt was added to the remaining combination of meat, which was a pork heavy 2.5-lb mass (most likely). the mush was worked until everything was distributed and mixed, by hand, making sure to not overwork (left nice and fluffy, well, as fluffy as ground meat can be). more breadcrumbs were added to the mixture until it was at the appropriate consistency (could barely hold a ball shape). the mixture was then shaped into fist sized balls and placed on parchment paper in a 375-degree oven, until the internal temperature was around 150-degrees on an instant read thermometer. then the balls were transferred to a casserole dish submerged in sauce and put back into the oven until the pasta was plated (probably about 6.375-minutes).
in a quart sauce pan, olive oil, one half of a pureed spanish onion, and the handful of meat that was set aside, was sauteed with a little bit of salt, pepper, a few bay leaves, and then 1/2 of a can of tomato paste was added and cooked for a little bit. the roasted tomatoes were then added to the pot with 1.5c. of water and some fresh chopped basil, then the sauce was allowed to cook down for a while, then added to the meatballs in the oven.
the pasta was added to boiling water, with a splash of olive oil and salt, cooked, then strained, and put in a bowl and tossed in a little of the tomato sauce, and some of the pasta water. a carving fork was use to twirl the pasta and it was plated on a little pile of sauce on a warm plate with one of the meatballs and a sprig of parsley. after the photo, the dish was doused in a little more sauce. a big loaf of warm crusty bread helped with the cleanup. clean plate club all-around. except for maddie, who couldn't eat her last bite.

Just before arriving at Duke Farms Nature Preserve, my wife and I had decided to pick up a lunch to eat before beginning our walk and photo ops. Upon leaving the store, right in front of the building was a stand with a variety of mums in pots, and there, as clear as day, was this sad looking Praying Mantis that had been put through the ringer. It appeared totally devoid of energy and seemed so lethargic. There were all kinds of marks on it with several patches of what we believed was tar. Somehow, this poor creature was caught in the transport process where possible machinery was employed, and it did turn out to be patches of tar stuck to the body. My wife reached out for it, since it was fully exposed, and could have easily become the victim of a bird on the hunt, or a customer seeking to purchase one of the planters, only to panic, when discovering this large insect. For us, the Praying Mantis is our very favorite of all amongst the world of insects—the near human like head movement and body language are so fascinating, almost as if they possess a sense of rational intelligence. Anyhow, we took the critter with us, allowing it to rest on my wife’s sleeve. It was so weak, and moved so slowly. A few minutes later, we reached the parking area of Duke Farms. There, we took out our store bought lunches—sushi rolls and tuna wrap. Knowing from past experience, we extracted some avocado pieces from one of the sushi rolls, and then cut off some smaller chunks. While sitting in the car, and enjoying the beautiful view of the meadows and the nearby Solar Array, we all ate our lunches, and the PM came to life and devoured the chunk of avocado provided. The energy level returned instantly, and when a few drops of water was placed on the other chunk, it was quite obvious that it needed to rehydrate, for it went straight to this other piece and consumed it with gusto. We had seen a variety of Praying Mantis egg casings all about in the different meadows, including the ones near the orientation center and parking area. Our new friend was so energized now, and was ready to step into its new environment. Being one of a very common species typically seen in the area, we knew that it had a healthy future here. Most of the blotches of tar and other matters were removed from the body when we first had it with us in the car, but one particular mass was simply too risky to pull off without injuring the little one, so it remained, giving us reason to name it TAR BACK. We released it right into the dense vegetation in the Solar Array section by the parking lot, and it appeared to be at home, comfortably navigating the stems and leaves, before taking its position under the vast canopy. Its graceful, but calculated movement, as it traversed from one bush to another was amazing. We knew that this neighborhood would be perfect . . .
The late, Doris Duke, had left a wonderful legacy in converting her magnificent estate into a Natural Wildlife Preserve for the public’s education and enjoyment. The paths throughout the estate offer such splendid scenery. One is forever exploring, always seeing something subtly beautiful. There are always pleasant surprises, from the general scenery to the world of the wildlife, even tiny insects and flowers are enjoyable to observe. The bucolic nature of the preserve is so relaxing—akin to meditating while experiencing the landscape. The beauty of visiting Duke Farms is that so many incredible views are there simply by observing all of the surroundings. Spotting new and fascinating critters always adds to the experience.
This is a photomicrograph of a transverse histological cross section of a leaf gall. This is from very near where the gall joins the leaf. A bright field transverse image may be found at: www.flickr.com/photos/14643312@N02/14406464771/in/set-721... . The preparation protocol is given at the bottom. I was not really after this structure when I prepared the slides from serial transverse sections, thus, being near the edge of the actual gall, it did not fair so well during sectioning however it was interesting under polarized light. The cross section of the vascular structure, which the gall shares with the leaf shows some optical activity under polarized light. This is commonly the result of ordered cellulose fiber bundles. These vessels have walls formed in a helical structure with very thin sections between, this explains the banding.
Photographed using a AO Spencer 42 polarizing microscope (petrographic) with crossed polarizers and a lambda wave plate. The Sony NEX 5n was connected to the microscope using a Leica MIKAS microscope adapter with a 2/3X reducer and a 10X eyepiece. The objective was an AO Spencer
Leaf gall 43X.
I prepared this specimen last summer as follows. Fixed in FAA with vacuum-pressure infiltration. Dehydrated 70 % ETOH 95% ETOH 2X, 99% IPA 3X. Cleared in xylene 2X, Infiltrated with Paraplast 2X, mounted in Paraplast. Sectioned with a Spencer 820 microtome 7 micron. Floated on a water drop on a Meyer's Albumin coated slide and dried. Cleared in Xylene 2X. Rehydrated 99% IPA 2X, 90% IPA, 70 % IPA, water. Stained Gill's Hematoxylin III. Running water wash 5 min. Destain 70 % IPA. Stained in Eosin Y, destain 95 % IPA. Dehydrated 99 % IPA 2X. Cleared in Xylene 2X. Mounted with Fisher Permamount.

((FULL INTERVIEW))
Art Bell: Somewhere in Time
The following is a brief synopsis of the forensic evidence presented by Mr. Harold Chacon. an indepent cellular biologist and Ph.D. candidate on the Art Bell show, December 9th, 1999.
---
Four tissue samples and one 'blood' sample were delivered to Harold Chacon in a medical, nitrogen-cooled sample container. Each sample was wrapped in linen gauze. The samples were delivered to Mr. Chacon in June of 1999.
Dr. Reed took the samples during his 1996 examination of the creature with his friend Gary. The samples were taken from the head wound inflicted by Dr. Reed. The blood sample was taken from fluids draining from wound. The tissue samples were cut from the edges of the wound. The samples were small - say one fifth the size of a pencil eraser.
This particular set of samples was preserved by Gary and given to Jonathan by people that are currently taking care of Gary. Gary had previously sent the samples to his caretakers unbeknownst to Jonathan shortly after the 1996 examination. They were recovered during a reunion with Gary early in 1999.
A transmission microscope survey, an electron scanning microscope survey and a gel electrophoresis chromosome analysis were performed using the samples.
Tissue Sample 1 and 2:
These two tissue samples contained skin and attached muscles. The skin resembles the superficial fascia of human skin. It is more elastic than human skin and has no hair nor hair follicles. The subcutaneous tissue has about one half as many sebaceous or fat producing glands as does human skin.
Mr. Chacon stated that the skin is not like any earth animal although it is something like reptile skin.
The muscle tissue resembles the occipital frontalis muscle of a human but is a yellowish-pinkish color instead of the normal gray color found in humans. Another intersecting muscle resembling the temporal fascia muscle similar to a human's was also discovered. The muscle tissues were found attached to the skin.
These samples are not like tissues from any known earthly species.
The Fluid Sample:
The fluid sample had become desiccated and was rehydrated prior to analysis. Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Nitrogen gases were found in the sample. Extremely high traces of copper sulfate were also found. White and red corpuscles with an elevated nucleus were discovered as well. None of the material is like known earthly blood material.
A Gel electrophoresis study was performed using the red cells to determine the chromosome makeup. The sample revealed 46 chromosomes, just like a human and all but nine of these chromosomes are shared with humans.
The nine dissimilar chromosomes are somewhat like those found in dolphins and certain sea tortoises.
No record of chromosomes like these could be found in any database searched by Mr. Chacon and his colleagues. When asked if there was any way to hoax the chromosome samples, Mr. Chacon replied that there is no possible way to create them using any known earthly technology.
Tissue Sample 3 and 4:
The last two samples contain brain matter. One sample resemble the insulating bag that cushions the brain from the skull. The tissue lining resembles reptilian tissue but contains strange structures not found in any earth species.
Some tissue of the exterior of the brain itself was found attached to the lining sample. It contained very unusual structures as well. These structures appear to be large nerve bundles that emerge from the within the brain and loop back down into it.
Neither brain tissue sample resembles any known tissue ever discovered.

Once the solid foods are rehydrated you can cut the pouch open, since the food mass will stick together and will adhere to the walls of the pouch.

For a geriatric cat of 17, Artemis is kickin' along fairly well but after trying to help him through two weeks' worth of barfing hard foods, soft foods and all forms of liquid matter KD and I took him to the vet today.
The thermometer up the pooper proved a normal temp. No suspicious bumps or lumps. The blood test showed that his kidney function is whacked though, so kind vet Rachel stuck a needle into his bladder to take a urine sample which will be checked for a variety of bad stuff.
In the meantime, Artie is having a not-exactly-spa weekend at the vet clinic where they will have him hooked up to IVs to rehydrate him and I'll hope not to have to make those euthanasia decisions for a little while longer.
An excellent beauty plan may be fun or offer you a big headache. Now you can try newer beauty techniques with assurance through the help of these pointers.
It is possible to draw attention the eyes to make them appear more attentive by using a coat of dark brown or black waterproof mascara. Spend money on some disposable mascara wands they're perfect for clearing away clumps or adding definition in your lashes later inside the night.
Apply a token moisturizer just before makeup. This will help to your makeup carry on well which means that your appearance looks flawless. With no moisturizer, your makeup could appear to be blotchy. That is a wonderful approach to help makeup last as well as also look fresh.
Use coconut oil in lieu of spending lots of money for facial moisturizer. Coconut oil will minimize the appearance of small wrinkles and a few face lines because it is absorbed through the skin easily. In addition, it adds benefits by eliminating the signs of acne, eczema and psoriasis as it has natural bacteria fighting elements and it is an organic fungicide.
To maintain your skin looking fresh and flawless, ensure you stay well hydrated on a daily basis. Dehydration taxes skin greater than most parts of your body, as wrinkles and dryness are visually apparent. It is possible to rehydrate your skin layer by consuming at least 8 - 10 glasses of water daily. If water tastes boring, liven it up with cranberry or lemon juice. Your skin layer will benefit using this.
Try eating some chutney each day manufactured from curry leaf to stop gray hair. It includes essential nutrients for hair health and may help retain pigmentation inside your hair. You may also use essential oil that is certainly scented with rosemary to maintain colour inside your hair while conditioning the hair and scalp.
Makeup are capable of doing wonders to your eyes, but tend not to expect great outcomes if you have red eyes. Carry around a bottle of eye drops together with you constantly. It is possible to apply them to get a quick re-wetting and refresh as soon as your eyes get tired and red from spending a long time out in the sun or staring the computer.
In case you have a torn nail, utilize a small element of a bag of tea. Step one is always to eliminate the tea leaves through the bag. Then cut just a little piece out of your empty bag. Make sure it's sufficient to completely cover the tear. Finally, install it in the tear, then paint over it using clear nail polish.
A beauty regimen can spend some time to discover, due to vastness in the subject. They demand practice and research by you, and so are all definitely worth the effort.

This fungus varies from sticky and soft to dry as a scab. It rehydrates in rain and shrinks to nothing over summer. While it is said to be common, this is only my second encounter in 20 years or more. I am not certain if this is E. glandulosa or another species. www.bylt.org/trail/black-swan-trail/.
