Re: Happy Birthday Teo
Belated? Whose wishes are belated other than mine? Shucks, did I miss the party? Here's some birthday news, or "berth" day news if you prefer. EMI has decided to go along with Steve Jobs on allowing electronic distribution without some of the previous limitations on making copies. It sounds almost like a new era of realism for the music biz. Perhaps ASCAP can be persuaded to be equally flexible if they aren't already. I just noticed the article on the front page of the NY Times (April 2n no...

Re: people deer and huming birds..
Thank you for bringing back this lovely post. “HUMMINGBIRD: A minor character in American Indian folktale and mythology. The northern Paiute Indians [U.S. Great Basin area] say that Hummingbird once filled his pants full of seeds and started on a journey to see what was beyond the sun. He ate only one seed a day, but had to turn back because his food gave out. He didn't see anything. In eastern Brazil, Hummingbird is the character who hoarded water so that the people had none at all until...

Thank you Artmin for fixing my picture! Margherita, sorry to hear about you having the flu. I quit getting flu shots when I was 19 and haven't had the "flu" since. It took me 19 years to figure out I was allergic to the flu shots. I hope you get over it soon sweetie! I'll tell Katherine of your birthday wishes. I was in Roma in 1973 it was 112 and I just had been in Switzerland and had about 5 candy bars that melted in my suit case. I was on a band concert tour called School band of America,...

Re: Managing Woodlands
Birds have evolved to thrive in some of the world's most forbidding environments, but they're facing a hige challenge coping with humans. One in eight species around the world is at risk of extinction, with habitat loss and degradation the main reason. In North America, many common species have experienced population declines of 50 per cent since the 1960's. From: The Globe and Mail, Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Canada 2008
Here in the DSA (the destitute states of america), Monday will be Columbus Day. I will navigate the San Francisco Bay by ferry from Marin to the city of SF and back. Someone else will be driving. I don't expect to discover anything undiscovered except San Francisco which is never the same city on two days. Funny that Sir Francis Drake parked off the Pacific Coast without ever having seen the entrance to the bay through the fog some years back before the Armada, and well after Columbus and Da...

We could have done better, but still, it is nice to have the olympics here, eveen though we had all the bad weather conditions which made things very difficult. Love, Sue

Re: Flower-Garden Gourmet
Edible flowers have been used in the culinary arts for flavor and garnish for hundreds of years. Early reports indicate that the Romans used flowers in cooking, as did the Chinese, Middle Eastern and Indian cultures. During Queen Victoria’s reign, edible flowers were popular and they are again popular in North America and Europe. Pick flowers early in the day. Use them at their peak for the best flavor. Avoid unopened blossoms (except daylilies) and wilted or faded flowers. They may have a...

Northern Cardinal gets its name from its red robes worn by the Roman Catholic cardinals. It is found from eastern North America to western Texas and Arizona. It lives in areas with shrubs and small trees. The male is brilliant red with a black mask and distinct crest. The female is also beautiful with buff plumage tinted with red. To attract cardinals spread out sunflower seeds.

Thank you yoko for these lovely songbirds. North America has some really beautiful birds. I have a bluebird, but the picture is not as nice as yours. Bluebirds are quite abundant in North america, and they are unique to North America, they don't live anywhere else in the world.

Re: Some North American Songbirds
Thank you yoko for this lovely thread. A lot of these beautiful birds stay in North America over the cold winter. Here is the Common Redpolls which survives in -53 C. During the winter months they tunnel deep into the snow to stay warm. The tunnels are burrowed 10 cm into the snow and can be more than 30cm long.

Re: UFO's
Thank you yoko for posting this information. I also see many shows where they discuss this topic. I will keep looking out for more information. There's no denying that America has an enduring fascination with unidentified flying objects, or UFOs . However, UFO interest extends far beyond the U.S. — sightings are reported worldwide, and multiple observations in far-flung locations describe aerial objects that are uncannily similar to each other, Luis Elizondo, former head of a top-secret U.S.

Re: 7 Trillion Debt TO WHO???
From: This amazing sermon given in Sept 2003 by Pastor Rod Parsley at Breakthrough Church in Columbus Ohio details the story of how Paul Warburg, John D. Rockefeller, and J.P. Morgan met with Senator Aldridge at a conference in Jekyll Island to create the Federal Reserve Banking System in America circa 1913. Most people hear about the "national debt" but few ask what it means or who we owe. https://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=10J9EFNU
