------------
The common chickadee of the Pacific Coast, the Chestnut-backed Chickadee is the smallest member of its family in America. It lacks a whistled song, but makes up for this deficiency by the complexity of its "chick-a-dee" calls.

Cool Facts
* The Chestnut-backed Chickadee uses lots of fur in making its nest, with fur or hair accounting for up to half of all the material in the hole. The hair from rabbits, coyote, and deer is most common, but hair from skunks, cats, horses, or cows will be used as well. The adults make a layer of fur about 1 cm (0.4 in) thick that they use to cover the eggs when they leave the nest.
* Hole-nesting birds tend to have higher nest success rates than open-cup nesters, but that doesn't mean that they are immune to predation. Chestnut-backed Chickadee nests get attacked by a number of predators, including mice, squirrels, weasels, snakes, and even black bears.
* The Chestnut-backed Chickadee is not truly migratory, but it does make some seasonal movements. In late summer some birds move to higher elevations up mountains. They move back to lower elevations when winter starts. In some winters, some chickadees will make local movements out of areas with deep snow.
How Does Gargling With Salt Water Help a Sore Throat? Sore throat is health issue, which turns into severe condition without immediate treatment. Instead of visiting doctor, some home remedies are available with excellent result. One of them is salt water. How does gargling with salt water help

Yesterday our visiting cormorant, seen on the left, was joined by a companion, apparently of the opposite sex judging by the difference in size and coloring. The two seemed to be checking each other out, and at one point began croaking and gargling at each other. Right after I took this shot, the one on the right responded with a few croaks and gargles of its own, and then the first one chimed in again. They left soon afterwards, so I think the brief courtship was successful.
To hear what double-crested cormorants sound like, see this page on the Audubon web site.
Back to Hadibo via Dixam plateau. Dragon blood tree.
Dracaena cinnabari, the Socotra dragon tree or dragon blood tree, is a dragon tree native to the Socotra archipelago, part of Yemen, located in the Arabian Sea. It is so called due to the red sap that the trees produce.
Dragon's blood is used as a stimulant and abortifacient. The root yields a gum-resin, used in gargle water as a stimulant, astringent and in toothpaste. The root is used in rheumatism, the leaves are a carminative.
The trees can be harvested for their crimson red resin, called dragon's blood, which was highly prized in the ancient world and is still used today. Around the Mediterranean basin it is used as a dye and as a medicine, Socotrans use it ornamentally as well as dying wool, gluing pottery, a breath freshener, and lipstick. Because of the belief that it is the blood of the dragon it is also used in ritual magic and alchemy. In 1883, the Scottish botanist Isaac Bayley Balfour identified three grades of resin; the most valuable were tear-like in appearance, then a mixture of small chips and fragments, with a mixture of fragments and debris being the cheapest. The resin of D. cinnabari is thought to have been the original source of dragon's blood until during the mediaeval and renaissance periods when other plants were used instead.
The local inhabitants of the city in the Socotra Island use the dragon's blood resin as a cure-all. Greeks, Romans, and Arabs use it in general wound healing, as a coagulant, cure for diarrhea, for dysentery diseases, for lowering fevers. It is also taken for ulcers in the mouth, throat, intestines and stomach.
Dragon's blood from D. cinnabari was used as a source of varnish for 18th-century Italian violin-makers. It was also used as tooth-paste in the 18th century. It is still used as varnish for violins and for photoengraving. Dragon's blood is also listed in a 16th-century text, Stahel und Eyssen, as an ingredient in a quenching bath for tempering steel. However this text is vague and poorly regarded as either an accurate description of smith's practice, or as a viable recipe.
Medicinal Uses: Lime juice dispels the irritation and swelling of mosquito bites.
In Malaya, the juice is taken as a tonic and to relieve stomach ailments. Mixed with oil, it is given as a vermifuge. The pickled fruit, with other substances, is poulticed on the head to allay neuralgia. In India, the pickled fruit is eaten to relieve indigestion. The juice of the Mexican lime is regarded as an antiseptic, tonic, an anti scorbutic, an astringent, and as a diuretic in liver ailments, a digestive stimulant, a remedy for intestinal hemorrhage and hemorrhoids, heart palpitations, headache, convulsive cough, rheumatism, arthritis, falling hair, bad breath, and as a disinfectant for all kinds of ulcers when applied in a poultice.
The leaves or an infusion of the crushed leaves may be applied to relieve headache. The leaf decoction is used as eye drops and to bathe a feverish patient; also as a mouth wash and gargle in cases of sore throat and thrush.
The root bark serves as a febrifuge, as does the seed kernel, ground and mixed with lime juice.

The structure was erected by a benefactor and can be seen on the M80 motorway passing through Cumbernauld nr Glasgow. The poem is inscribed on the bottom of the structure.
WATERSHED (Comar nan Allt, Gaelic for Cumbernauld)
by Jim Carruth
The first sounds spoken
from the spring’s core
are of a new beginning
of people and place
a poetry that bubbles
and gargles to the surface
to leave this watershed
flow east and west
in a rush of words
that tumble and fall
to join the conversations
of two great rivers
a voice calling out
I belong I belong
adding to the language
of sea and ocean.
Anyway, to Sunday. And something quite exciting, in that we were going to leave Kent for the first time together since, I have no idea, maybe December, and only the second time I have since March 13th. Jools has become a member of the RHS, and she found out that came with free entry to all their gardens, so she said how nice it would go to Wisley, so we picked what looked like it would be a good day, booked tickets as numbers are very limited, and Sunday was the day.
The alarm went off at six, it was just getting light in the east, cats and kittens fed, made coffee and breakfast, so all ready to leave the house at half seven to the gardens, planning on arriving just after nine when it opened.
It was an uneventful trip, up the M20, through the Operation Brock work between Ashford and Maidstone, which I guess will come as a permanent thing after Christmas.
Along the M25, quite quiet and the weather was glorious. Was going to be perfect for snapping, he said with a boot-full of cameras and lenses.
We turned off onto the A3, then half a mile down there, turned into the lane leading to Wisely, a few dozen cars were already there, it was five past nine.
We wait in line, me wrapped in cameras. We are allowed in after Jools flashed her membership card, and the morning was ours!
RHS Wisley I wanted to get round as much as possible, get shots before too many people arrived and got in the way. So, it was supposed to be a trip for Jools to look at borders and plants for ideas, and of course it turned into a photographic trip.
No real surprise, there.
We walk past the large ornamental lake, where the refelctions were perfect, but a week or three to early for really nice autumn colours. Don't stop me snapping, mind.
From there we walk to the glass house, which did not open until ten, so we walk round the beds surround the reflection pool, no lake, which surrouned the building.
Most of the plants were in seed or had withered, but there was enough to keep us interested, and give us ideas for our little slice of botanical heaven.
The glass house opened, so we go round in our winter coat in tropical heat and humidity. My Nana would have said we'd catch our death of cold. As expected, I fnd the orchid display, and snap them.
We walk back outside and the coolness of the autumn morning hit like a pan galactic gargle-blaster.
We go for a coffee, but there was no food on, so we make do with sesame seeded honey covered peanuts. They were good, but at £2.50 for a small bag, they should have been.
We go to the rock garden, which went on for quite a while, really well done with a couple of fake streams tinkling down.
We sit on a bench at the bottom of the rock garden, and look at the familes complete with screaming and hyper kids running about. We look at each other and say, "have you had enough?" We agreed.
So we walked back to the shop, looked round and bought nothing. Jools went into the plant shop to look round and again bought nothing.
We went back to the car and drove off, 90 minutes from home, if the traffic would be kind.
The wind had got up and it was clouding up, but I had dozens of shots in the can, or on the memory card.

Paris, França.
La place Saint-Michel, or Saint-Michel's Square, is a square at an intersection in the Latin Quarter and 6th arrondissement in Paris, France. Its fame comes from its Fountain St. Michel, constructed by Gabriel Davioud in 1855. Originally proposed to be of Napoleon I, it was finally decided that it would be of Saint-Michel with two dragons that gargle water into the fountain.
Its location permits a view of some of the monuments of the "île de la Cité", including the Palais de Justice

Capsicum chinense, Solanaceae
This chilli is positively NUCLEAR. It has a fruity flavour with a kick like a mule. They really do look gold when they ripen. A must have even if you only look at them! Pickles well, and is a great addition to any dish that needs a bit of "bite".
Even though chilis may be thought of as a vegetable, their culinary usage is, generally, a spice, the part of the plant that is usually harvested is the fruit, and botany considers the plant a berry shrub.
When chilli is eaten, the brain release endorphins, a natural painkiller present in the body. The endorphins lower blood pressure and help fight against cancer.
Chillies have been used to repel garden pests, to stop barnacles on boats, as an aphrodisiac and as a cure for sore throats and varicose ulcers.
Chilli is mildly antibacterial and is an excellent gargle for sore throats and laryngitis. In Victorian England, chilli peppers were prized for their warming properties in treating arthritis, chills, rheumatism, sprains and depression.
Chillies are loaded with vitamin A, a potent antioxidant and boost to the immune system. As the pods mature and darken, high quantities of vitamin C are gradually replaced with beta carotene and the capsaicin levels are at their highest. Due to these capsaicin levels, some believe that eating chillies may have an extra thermic affect, temporarily speeding up the metabolic rate, hence burning off calories at a faster rate. The alkaloids from the capsaicin stimulate the action of stomach and intestine improving the whole digestion process!
♫ "Chick-a-dee-dee-dee!"♫
Black-Capped Chickadee
Poecile atricapillus
Black-capped Chickadees are among my favorite backyard birds.* Sometimes I start calling at them from my window in a high-pitched voice like this, ♫ "Chickadee, Chickadeeee, Chickadeeeeee!" ♫ I realize you can’t actually hear me singing, but trust me, I’m doing you a favor. : p This is what happens when you grow up without having any pets! These "hyperactive birds" (as my dad calls them) sing numerous songs, but they also make funny gargling noises that sound like laughter. They bring seeds back with them to the branches and start pecking at the seeds in a funny, hyperactive, turbo mode. And then they repeat, repeat, and repeat until they’re quite satisfied. I just love these silly birds. = )

A Blackthorn shrub in the Hill Barton business park of Exeter, UK. There is also Common hawthorn, Holly, Spindle and Guelder-rose planted within these hedgerows. === Blackthorn, also known as 'sloe', is a small deciduous tree native to the UK and most of Europe. It is spiny and densely branched, mature trees can grow to a height of around 6-7m, and live for up to 100 years. The dark brown bark is smooth, and twigs form straight side shoots, which develop into thorns. The twigs are black and spiny with leaf buds along the spines. The leaves are slightly wrinkled, oval, toothed, pointed at the tip and tapered at the base. Blackthorn is a hermaphrodite, meaning both male and female reproductive parts are found in one flower. White flowers appear on short stalks before the leaves in March and April, either singularly or in pairs. Once pollinated by insects, the flowers develop into blue-black fruits measuring 1cm across. Blackthorn is native to Europe and western Asia. It can also be found in New Zealand and eastern North America. It grows best in moist, well drained soil and thrives in full sunlight. It grows naturally in scrub, copses and woodlands, but is commonly used as a hedging plant. Early flowering, blackthorn provides a valuable source of nectar and pollen for bees in spring. Its foliage is a food plant for the caterpillars of many moths, including the lackey, magpie, common emerald, small eggar, swallow-tailed and yellow-tailed. It is also used by the black and brown hairstreak butterflies. Birds nest among the dense, thorny thickets, eat caterpillars and other insects from the leaves, and feast on the berries in autumn. === The expression "sloe-eyed" for a person with dark eyes comes from the fruit, and is first attested in A. J. Wilson's 1867 novel Vashti. Blackthorn was long associated with witchcraft, and it is said that witches' wands and staffs were made using blackthorn wood. The shrub, with its savage thorns, is traditionally used in Britain and other parts of Northern Europe to make a cattle-proof hedge. The timber is hardwearing and tough, light yellow with a brown heartwood. It was traditionally used for making walking sticks and tool parts. It burns well, and is often used as firewood. Blackthorn is used as a hedging shrub, particularly in wildlife gardens. The sloes are used for wine making and preserves, and, most commonly, flavouring gin. In the British Army, blackthorn sticks are carried by commissioned officers of the Royal Irish Regiment; the tradition also occurs in Irish regiments in some Commonwealth countries. Some people apply blackthorn flower directly to the skin for rashes, “skin impurities,” and “blood purification.” In foods, blackthorn flower is used in herbal teas as a colouring agent. A marmalade made from the berry is used for upset stomach. Blackthorn berry is used as a mouth rinse (gargle) for mild sore throat and mouth Wine made from fermented sloes is made in Britain, and in Germany and other central European countries. Sloes can also be made into jam and, used in fruit pies, and if preserved in vinegar are similar in taste to Japanese umeboshi. The juice of the fruits dyes linen a reddish colour that washes out to a durable pale blue. === Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Rosids Order: Rosales Family: Rosaceae Genus: Prunus Subgenus: Prunus Section: Prunus Species: P. spinosa Binomial name Prunus spinosa
I've always been annoyed that at this beautiful time of the year, just when the air cools, I unfortunately also start to sneeze and itch from airborne allergies. On general principals I avoid taking man-made chemicals into my body, without absolute need. Many antihistamines cause drowsiness and slow reaction times. There is also some concern that they act in a way similar to other chemicals that have been shown to promote cancerous tumor growth. So here are a few things I've found that help me deal with my pollen allergies without antihistamines.
First, splash water in your face. It gets the pollen out of your eyebrows and eyelashes. If possible take a damp washcloth and rub it through your hair. This really helps. Do this as soon as you come in from outdoors. The less continuous exposure you have to the pollen the less your body will react to it.
Second, gargle with a 1:3 mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide (one part peroxide, Three parts water). Make sure you let your head go back as far as you can to let the solution get to where your nose enters your throat. This will instantly eliminate that annoying throat itch. Don't swallow. Plain water will also give some relief, but the peroxide solution works best. Full strength peroxide U.S.P. 3% may irritate your throat. These are my own observations, I have no reference or study to site.
Use a neti pot to rinse out your nostrils, once in the morning and once at night. Use warm salt water. This helps a lot with congestion and further reduces your body's contact with the pollen. A neti pot isn't as difficult or unpleasant to use as you might fear, though it is a bit too messy to do away from your own bathroom sink.
Towel Day 2011 in Bali at Warung Tanjung.
David's lovely wife Betty is serving Gargle Blasters. Don, the frood on the right, is the winemaker for the biggest producer in Bali, Hatten. He produced the green concoction that the Gargle Blaster was based on.
In the days before paved roads and personal transportation, getting about in all weather and all times of the year, day or night, often resulted in sweating and collecting road dust, pollen, or the ash of nearby field or chimney fires. So the prospect of cool, clear water supplied at a shrine like this was very welcome, indeed. One of the main themes of Shinto is purity on the outside and the inside and the avoidance or ridding of polluting elements, practices, or words. Even today, people more often than not will be prompted by the sound of the overflowing stream of local waters to stop long enough in their passage to take up a dipperful of cold water to wash one hand, then the other, face and neck and ears as needed, and a quick rinse and/or gargle of the mouth and throat before approaching the front of the worship space at the near end of the shrine's main building, the public area known as Haiden, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinto_shrine This video clip records that refreshing sound of the water beckoning to visitors. This Hino Jinja marks one of the 5 common routes to the summit of Mt. Hino, 795 meters above sea level and about 1.5 or 2 hours by foot from here.
a whiteness seems the most appropriate here I think!

Okay, now that fisheyed gargler Tor decided to make me take minimalistic photos with a bloody fisheye lens! Heck, I thought, now i have to remove Taj Mahal from my shots in post-processing again (the fisheye being so wide, it always captures Taj Mahal, regardless of your position on the globe). I tried to shoot some gateways and white walls, but it was impossible to not get some extremely irritating edges on the shots. I ended up with 2 photos which turned out very well, in fact. They are of the insides of some hugargantic cable reels (behind which i later peed). The first one actually had some details in the white spaces, but I decided to photoshop that away, as I'm sure you can see on the final result if you look closely on the edges. Not sure if the last photo really can pompously call itself minimalistic, but considering it's taken with a fisheye lens it can at least call itself fisheye-minimalistic. On both shots i put my lens inside the hole directly opposite on the reel from the small center-holes in the shots. The walls inside those holes is what's creating that nice vignetting effect.

Soothing Remedies For Sore Throat To Help Pacify The Pain..!!!
Season change can cause a lot of petty illness including a sudden sore throat where you couldn’t determine the balance of warmth and cold in the weather and catch a sore throat. So to help relieve a sore throat, try the following tips written below. However, if your symptoms doesn’t improve in a few days then see your doctor.
1.Make sure you drink a lots of liquids. Being well-hydrated helps keep mucus thin and easy to clear.
2.Gargle with warm salt water. Mix about a teaspoon of salt with a glass of warm water to soothe and help clear your throat of mucus.
3.Suck on lozenges or hard candy, or chew sugar-free gum. These products stimulate secretion of saliva, which bathes and cleanses your throat.
4.Consider taking pain relievers. Over-the-counter analgesics such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen may temporarily help relieve sore throat pain.
5.If your sore throat involves an inflamed larynx, talking a lot may lead to more irritation and temporary loss of your voice.
6.Adding moisture to the air prevents drying of mucous membranes and the resulting irritation.
7.Avoid air pollutants. Don’t smoke. Avoid smoke-filled rooms and fumes from household cleaners or paint.
#AbFav_START_of_AUTUMN_🍄
I found these on the ground, in the ‘wild’.
Berries are so autumnal, only very few are edible now, except for the birds and other animals.
A jelly made from them is popular for dressing game.
According to Robert James in 1747, the fruit is excellent for treating the scurvy, and the exudates from the bark is good for the diseases of the spleen.
When dried and powdered the berries have been turned into a type of bread, and in an infusion make an acidulous drink.

However, it is bitter – very bitter.
Sorbus is a genus of about 100–200 species of trees and shrubs in the rose family Rosaceae. Species of Sorbus are commonly known as white-beam, rowan, service tree and mountain-ash.
This upright, tree is the most compact of the Rowan trees making it ideal for small gardens.
Fluffy, white corymbs of flowers appear in April-May that are popular with bees.
Mid/dark green pinnate foliage turns vibrant shades of orange and red in the autumn which complements the reddish orange berries that hang in heavy clusters and are a treat for the birds.
Popular folklore maintains that a heavy crop of fruit means a hard or difficult winter.
Similarly, in Finland and Sweden, the number of fruit on the trees was used as a predictor of the snow cover during winter.
However, as fruit production for a given summer is related to weather conditions the previous summer, with warm, dry summers increasing the amount of stored sugars available for subsequent flower and fruit production, it has no predictive relationship to the weather of the next winter.
Also Hypericum, found in bouquets.

I was about to take Rocky out for a walk--more of a training walk. Before we left, Rocky followed me into the bathroom, where I was gargling mouthwash, and jumps into the shower-bath tub. With a look like that on Rocky, our walk had to be cancelled in favor of a shower. This pooch is so adorable!!!

The De Chambeau Ranch was one of the largest ranches in the Mono Basin. It raised cattle, sheep, chickens, alfalfa, and vegetables to be sold in Bodie, Aurora, Lundy, and Lee Vining.
The 320-acre ranch contains the original buildings, some of the original barbed wire, ditches, roadways, fence lines, and wells.
Drawn to California by gold, Louis W. De Chambeau's father moved to Bodie from Ontario, Canada in 1878. Louis W. followed two years later when he was 18. In 1906 he purchased the ranch from Italian immigrant Nicholas Dondero, who sold it to fund exploration in Alaska.
The De Chambeau family was self-sufficient except for a few staples, such as sugar and salt. Their beds were stuffed with feathers frm Mono Lake ducks and if they had sore throats, they gargled with Mono Lake water.
Ranchers could handle many tasks: stack hay, shape horseshoes and nails from iron, grow vegetables in the sandy soil, butcher hogs and sheep. They also traded skills for goods. Louis W. De Chambeau crafted skis, for example, which he sold in Body, Lundy, and throughout the Mono Basin.
Norm De Chambeau:
“So my grandfather decided that when he moved here to the ranch that he would, uh, make skis from then on, (And, uh, he sold them, the men’s skis for $8 a pair plus 50 cents or a dollar for the pole. And that was huge money in them days. And he ended up estimating between 500 to 1000 skis that he’d built in Mono Basin, (and) sold to the different people in here.”
A pair of De Chambeau’s hand-carved skis is on display at the Mammoth Ski Museum and at Bodie State Historic Park.

PROPHET'S MEDICINE
Loban (Styrax benzoin)
Known as an incense, Loban has multiple benefits even as a medicine
By Dr. M. Laiq Ali Khan
LOBAN as sold in the market is a resin of a tree, Styrax benzoin. It is extracted by making an incision on the stem of the tree, the secreting liquid is collected, dried and sold for usage. Though the trees of Loban are found in India, the maximum Loban is imported from Thailand, Malaysia and the Islands of the East Indies.
Hazrat Abdullah Bin Jafar narrates that Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) said: “fumigate your houses with Loban and sheesh.” (Baihaqui)
Another narration reveals: “fumigate your houses with Loban and Saatar.” (Baihaqui)
According to the Hadith scholars, it relieves constipation and stomach pain. It is useful in diarrhoea and is a good digestive. It heals the wounds and ulcers of the eyes, tones up the stomach. It is a good expectorant and decreases the production of phlegm. The gargles of Loban with Saatar relieves the inflammation of the throat and heals up the wounds of the tongue. It enhances the memory if taken internally.
The long standing, bad and putrified wounds are healed with Loban speedily. The fumigation of Loban is a good insect repellent. It has qualities of an insecticide, is antiseptic and fights epidemics.
The classics of Ayurveda do not possess the reference of Loban and history reveals that Europe was also introduced with Loban after 1399, when Ibne Batoota introduced it during his travel to Europe.
It tones up the heart, stomach and increases libido. It is a good appetiser and is carminative. It relieves the cold and cough. It’s local application relieves the toothache. It is also stated by some physicians that it removes the bad smell of sweat and other excretions, relieves the inflammations of urinary tract and is useful in pulmonary tuberculosis. The drops prepared with Loban and sesame oil relieve the catarrh.
Chemical synthesis of Loban reveals that Loban contains benzoic acid, cinnamic acid and aniline. Besides, a volatile oil is also found. Modern studies reveal that it is a good haemostatic, antiseptic and a good healing agent, hence, applied on wounds and internally subsides the inflammation of UTI and respiratory tract infections.
In case where phosphates are found in abundance in the urine, the compound of Loban dissolves the phosphates and expels them out, besides it is a good diuretic and antiseptic for urinary tract. Locally it possesses potent antifungal effects.
In modern time where the use of chemical insecticides and pesticides is causing damage to the environment and the human life, Loban, which is a good natural insecticide and insect repellent, can prove an eco-friendly substitute.
