Historia Natural
Reproducción
Los machos forman asambleas de cortejo y realizan sus despliegues sobre troncos caídos cubiertos de musgo, compartidos por 3 ó 4 machos. Cada individuo desciende a su vez oblicuamente mediante un vuelo lento y ondulante, con la cola erguida, para aterrizar en la gorguera esponjada e inmediatamente dar un brinquito y revolotear como si el tronco estuviera electrizado; luego sale volando mientras aterriza otro macho.
Su nido consiste en una taza o hamaca poco profunda colgada entre los dos brazos delgados de una horqueta horizontal, construida de filamentos de hongo largos, finos, color café o negruzcos, con esqueletos de hoja prendidos de la parte inferior. Se localiza a una altura de 5 a 7 m. dentro del bosque.
Ponen 2 huevos blancuzcos con abundantes marcas café. Se reproducen de abril a junio.
La hembra construye el nido, incuba los 2 huevos y atiende a los polluelos.
En la vertiente del Caribe se reproduce principalmente entre los 400 y los 900 m.; en el sureste y en el Pacífico se reproduce a mayor altura, entre los 1100 y los 1500 m.
Alimentación
Son altamente frugívoros; se alimentan de muchas bayas, sobre todo de arbustos y de melatomátaceas arborescentes, que atrapan directamente al volar (ej.flaco (Casearia arborea), Conostegia cooperi, Henriettella tuberculosa, Miconia aff. smaragdina, Oreopanax sp. Ossaea sp.) También consumen insectos y arañas que atrapan en el follaje de la misma manera. Algunas veces siguen a las hormigas arrieras o guerreras (Eciton sp.) para atrapar presas que huyen de ellas.
Comportamiento
Son gregarios en las áreas de cría. Forrajean en grupos dispersos con miembros de ambos sexos. Son más solitarios en las bajuras, donde 1 ó 2 individuos pueden unirse brevemente a una bandada mixta con tangaras como especie nuclear.
Ciclo anual
Efectúan migraciones altitudinales. Por ejemplo, el Dr. Skutch llevó a cabo observaciones en su finca en Quizarrá, en el Valle del General, y encontró individuos entre diciembre y marzo, aunque en ocasiones se encontraron durante la época de anidación (de abril a junio). Asimismo, en las tierras bajas de Sarapiquí se observaron desde finales de noviembre hasta marzo, pero durante el resto del año se localizaron solo una vez en julio y otra vez en agosto.
Por otro lado, en un estudio llevado a cabo en la Finca El Plástico (Horquetas de Sarapiquí) ejecutaron una emigración estacional de una localidad de 550 m.s.n.m., en un bosque pluvial premontano en la vertiente del Caribe. Los residentes reproductores abandonaron el área entre agosto y octubre y regresaron entre febrero y abril, a comienzos de la época reproductiva.
Habitat y Distribución
Habitat
Frecuenta los niveles bajos y medios de los bosques muy húmedos y claros sombreados cercanos, así como áreas con crecimiento secundario alto.
Distribución
Es una especie residente común a lo largo de la vertiente del Caribe. También se encuentran al sur de la vertiente del Pacífico, en la Cordillera de Talamanca y las filas costeras y por encima de los 600 m. en las colinas más altas de la Península de Osa. Desciende hasta los piedemontes y las bajuras adyacentes entre julio y diciembre o enero, y en forma esporádica en otras épocas.
Distribución fuera de Costa Rica
Se encuentra desde el este de Honduras hasta el noroeste de Venezuela.

Navaratri celebrates the nine forms of Goddess Durga.
On the second night, Goddess Brahmacharini Devi is venerated. She shows us the importance of our spiritual practice and how the discipline of doing it every day is an expression of devotion to the Divine. She is depicted as standing on Her on own two feet, which symbolises Her grounded nature despite Her constant meditation. She also reminds us that our practices do take time, so Brahmacharini Devi is also considered the Goddess of patience.
Every night of Navaratri we perform a Guru-puja, Kalash-puja, yajna, abhishekam, and arati, as well as satsangs from different speakers and Gurudev Himself. This night, however, is always a special reminder and acknowledgement for the Brahmacharis and Brahmacharinis of Bhakti Marga around the world who have dedicated their lives to serving Gurudev and His mission.
Tonight featured a satsang on the Divya Prabandham, a traditional Indian dance performance by four young girls of our Bhakti Marga community here in Springen, and Gurudev continued His commentary on the Mukunda Mala Stotram.

Formado em 2000, o JAM Project é um grupo de cantores japoneses especializados em temas de animês (desenhos animados), tokusatsus (séries live-action) e jogos de videogames japoneses. É o principal expoente do gênero.
O objetivo do grupo é preservar as características originais do gênero musical, que desde a década de 90 tem a interferência do marketing da indústria fonográfica, envolvendo artistas do pop-rock japonês.
A formação atual é composta por Hironobu Kageyama, Masaaki Endoh, Masami Okui, Yoshiki Fukuyama, Hiroski Kitadani e Ricardo Cruz.
Rhodes (Greek: Ρόδος, Ródos [ˈroðos]) is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in terms of land area and also the island group's historical capital. Administratively the island forms a separate municipality within the Rhodes regional unit, which is part of the South Aegean region. The principal town of the island and seat of the municipality is Rhodes.[2] The city of Rhodes had 50,636 inhabitants in 2011. It is located northeast of Crete, southeast of Athens and just off the Anatolian coast of Turkey. Rhodes' nickname is The island of the Knights, named after the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem, who once conquered the land.[3]
Historically, Rhodes was famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe
Best to know one thing from the start about Old (Medieval) Town of Rhodes (Rhodos): It's not laid out on a grid -- not even close. There are roughly 200 streets or lanes that simply have no name. Getting lost here is not a defeat; it's an opportunity. Whenever you feel the need to find your bearings, you can ask for Sokratous, which is the closest the Old Town of Rhodes comes to having a main street.
When you approach the walls of the Old Town of Rhodes, you are about to enter the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe. It's a thrill to behold. Although there are many gates, we suggest that you first enter through Eleftheria (Liberty) Gate, where you'll come to Plateia Simi (Simi square), containing ruins of the Temple of Venus, identified by the votive offerings found here, which may date from the 3rd century B.C. The remains of the temple are next to a parking lot (driving is restricted in the Old Town), which rather diminishes the impact of the few stones and columns still standing. Nevertheless, the ruins are a reminder that a great Hellenistic city once stood here and encompassed the entire area now occupied by the city, including the old and new towns. The population of the Hellenistic city of Rhodes is thought to have equaled the current population of the whole island (roughly 100,000).
Simi square is also home to the Municipal Art Gallery of Rhodes, above the Museum Reproduction Shop (hours vary but are generally Monday through Saturday from 8am to 2pm; whose impressive collection is comprised mostly of works by eminent modern Greek artists. The gallery now has a second beautifully restored venue in the Old Town of Rhodes (across from the Mosque of Suleiman) to house its collection of antique and rare maps and engravings (open Mon-Fri 8am-2pm); and, within the next several years, it will expand into a new and third site located in the New Town. One block farther on is the Museum of Decorative Arts, which contains finely made objects and crafts from Rhodes and other islands, most notably Simi (open Tues-Sun 8:30am-3pm;). Continue through the gate until you reach Ippoton, also known as the Street of the Knights. Note: If you are ready for serious sightseeing, there is a ticket for 10¤ that gains admission to the Museum of Decorative Arts, the Archaeological Museum, the Church of our Lady of the Castle, and the Palace of the Knights.
The Street of the Knights (Ippoton on maps) is one of the best preserved and most delightful medieval relics in the world. The 600m (1,968 ft.) - long, cobble - paved street was constructed over an ancient pathway that led in a straight line from the Acropolis of Rhodes to the port. In the early 16th century, it became the address for most of the inns of each nation, which housed Knights who belonged to the Order of St. John. The inns were used as eating clubs and temporary residences for visiting dignitaries, and their facades reflect the various architectural details of their respective countries.
After touring the sites of the Old Town of Rhodes, you might want to walk around the walls. (The museum operates a 1-hr. tour on Tues and Sat at 3pm, beginning at the Palace of the Knights.) The fortification has a series of magnificent gates and towers, and is remarkable as an example of a fully intact medieval structure. Much of the structure can be viewed from just walking around the outside.

Washoe Theatre, 305 Main Street, Anaconda, Montana. The Washoe Theater in Anaconda, Montana was the last theater constructed in the United States in the Nuevo Deco (a form of Art Deco) style. The theater was designed in 1930 by Seattle architect B. Marcus Priteca. It was almost entirely finished by 1931, but its opening was delayed until Thursday, September 24, 1936 because of the Great Depression. Its construction cost was a $200,000, a large sum in those days. The Smithsonian rates the Washoe as a national treasure due to the lavish interior. In 1982, the Washoe was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places for architectural significance.
The interior design and furnishings were done by Hollywood theater designer Nat Smythe. The exterior doors are etched glass. Each joint and trim work is carved in complicated relief patterns with much use of ornamental ironwork. Use of copper is especially prevalent, as Anaconda was a company town for the Anaconda Copper Mining Company. Silver and gold leaf supplement the accent work. Carved rams heads line the walls. Every flat surface, including the domed ceiling, is a painted mural done by Colville Smythe.
The silk curtain is a piece of art in itself, though seldom seen. Its age presents a problem for curators who are afraid that taking it down, even to try and restore it, would cause it to fall apart. It has a painting of deer stags.
The theater was also designed to have near perfect acoustics. The delay in opening allowed the sound system to be re-designed as a showcase for Western Electric's newest innovation "Mirrorphonic Sound". Recorded sound with films was itself a relatively new innovation, so the creation of a high-fidelity audio system was quite remarkable for 1936.
The site of the Washoe Theater was the site of two previous theaters in Anaconda. The Margaret Theater existed on the site since near the founding of the town. It was re-modeled in 1929 at a cost of $60,000 and renamed the Sundial Theater only to burn down in 1929.
The first movie to play in the Washoe was a Western, The Texas Rangers starring Fred MacMurray as a Texas Ranger. The Washoe still operates as a movie theater today.

When I first wrote about Form vs Function, I used my lighters as an example.
We spent this past weekend with Jim & Carol, and while we were there Jim gave me this Buck 110 knife (top). It's a classic that set the pattern for folding knives to come.
The pros on the Buck are obvious, it's looks and function, it is a thing of beauty, and it works. The cons are its weight and (for me) the lack of a clip. I like my knife clipped into my pocket.
The middle knife is my trusty Swiss Navy Knife. It's great, and again the wear on it hints at its history of many years of everyday use. As much as I love it, I hate its serrated blade, and it doesn't have a clip to hold it in my pocket - hence the lanyard. I've lost it in a lake once, and that's to make sure it doesn't happen again.
My everyday carry was the Milwaukee Fastback (bottom). It's a fantastic workhorse, and inexpensive to boot. It's a knife you can afford to abuse and lose. The wear on the opening button gives testimony to its constant use.
I say that the Milwaukee 'was' my everyday carry. That is because I have a request in for a lightweight multitool, and I now have the Buck.
I've picked a multitool with a titanium frame, and a straight blade. It is light. It doesn't include a marline spike, tweezers, or tooth pick (more's the pity) - which the Swiss Navy Knife does, but I reckon I can manage without those in favor of pliers and cutters. The multitool does have a clip, so It'll sit nicely in my pocket. And to my eye it looks good too.
Coming back to Form vs Function. The Navy Knife beats the Milwaukee and Buck hands down. Depending on my needs, it also beats the knife (multitool) I want to get. But, for everyday carry I want a straight blade and pocket clip - the Swiss Navy Knife has neither.
The Buck just feels right, and wood and brass wins out over a plastic grip plastic any day. I can forgive the lack of a pocket clip for the Buck's great looks and wonderful feel.
For the moment the Milwaukee Fastback and Swiss Navy Knife will be consigned to sitting on a shelf. When I get my multitool, it will become my everyday carry, and the Buck will get pride of place on my desk, and when I'm out backpacking or hiking it'll accompany me in my pack . But until I get the multitool the Buck will be my Everyday Carry.

Handheld long exposure at night. The cars are moving very fast so all is left behind is the beautiful forms left behind of their headlights.
Here you also see more elongated signage on the road intended for drivers. In Hong Kong, signage on the road is typical, and one can reason that it is a lot safer this way to keep the drivers’ eyes on the road instead of up above.

Autor: José-María Moreno García. Fotógrafo humanista y documentalista. Una de las mejores formas de conocer la historia de un pueblo es a través de sus imágenes; en ellas se conserva no sólo su realidad tangible, calles, plazas, monumentos, sino también sus costumbres, fiestas, tradiciones, lenguaje, indumentaria, gestos y miradas, que nos dicen sin palabras como se vivía, cuales eran sus esperanzas y temores, qué había en su pasado, qué esperaban del futuro. Uno de los objetivos más ambiciosos es recuperar y catalogar todo el material gráfico existente en nuestra familia desde 1.915, para después ponerlo a disposición de vosotros, que la historia volviera a sus protagonistas, y los que aún siguen con nosotros pudieran disfrutar con ello.

Der Floratempel wurde 1797/98 von Erdmannsdorff nach dem Vorbild von Chambers Casinobau in Wilson errichtet, der wiederum auf den Clitumnustempel bei Spoleto zurückgeht. Er diente zur Zeit des Fürsten Franz als Musikpavillon.
Der Göttin der Blumen und der Jugend zu Ehren, wurde dieser Bereich von jeher mit Blumen geschmückt, was im frühen Landschaftsgarten nicht üblich war. Vor dem Tempel ist ein Beet in Phallusform,dem Priapos geweiht.

This bulb has grown very well for me in Honolulu. It is truly evergreen and has only gone dormant when I have forced it to by letting it dry out completely. Undulation of its leaf margins (frilliness) is dependent on light intensity. At the second place I lived in Mānoa Valley (where this picture was taken) it was a sunny location with very few trees and rather dependable sunlight, and thus it began to produce extremely undulate leaves. The third place I lived at in the valley had many tall trees, frequent rainfall and cloud cover. Because of this the leaves returned to emerging relatively flat. This picture shows how the undulation has ebbed after 5 months in a shadier location.
I imported this bulb from Penroc in South Africa as:
'Boophone disticha East Cape 'evergreen frilly form'.
B. disticha is a wide-spread species native to vast areas of Africa (get ready): Burundi, Rwanda, DRC, Sudan, Kenya, Tanania, Uganda, Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa.
Ethnobotanical uses include extraction of poison for arrows, treating pain and wounds, application to boils and abscesses. Fresh leaves have been used to stop the bleeding of wounds and the Khoisan successfully mummified the dead using Boophone leaves. (Scroll down to "Mummy Post-Script")
We were happy to have the addition of Andy Gerber's steel and stone sculpture recently in the November section of the garden. He created it in memory of a friend of his that died of brain cancer and we find it appropriate as a memorial piece situated in that time of the year when many life forms are experiencing some form of death. Though the piece is monumental in size and substantial in it's material presence, the natural surfaces add a quiet but powerful presence to the garden.
