Indications of past climates are accessible by examining fossil remains, ice cores, and sediments. The study of climate changes over history, called paleoclimatology, helps us understand the causes and effects of past climate changes as we look to better predict climate changes in the future.
Have you ever looked at a log or tree stump and noticed the many rings emanating from its center? Each ring can provide specific information on tree growth, climate, and other specific events in any given year. Trees grow more quickly during warm, moist periods of time creating wider rings, while smaller rings are seen during cold, dry periods when growth is slower. Therefore, scientists can tell approximately what a regional climate was like based on tree ring observation.
Other biological fossils, such as coral reefs, respond similarly. Ocean temperature variability—being warmer in the summer than in the winter—enables corals to exhibit seasonal growth bands, much like tree rings. Since corals build their hard skeletons from calcium carbonate which is extracted from sea water, isotopes of oxygen and trace metals can also be used to determine water temperature at various times.
Ice cores, long columns of ice extracted from polar regions, can be used to measure increases and/or decreases in snowfall over time, in addition to changes in atmospheric gases seen in trapped air bubbles, dust, and oxygen isotopes. The cores can provide vast amounts of information, including annual records of temperature, precipitation, atmospheric composition, volcanic activity, and even wind patterns.
The ocean floor is made up of layer upon layer of dust, plant, and animal skeletons that, over the centuries, creates a vertical timeline which can give scientists clues about past climates. Soil sediments can provide a record of the water table and the rate of erosion, both which depend on temperature and rainfall, and by identifying the creatures that lived at various times, scientists can also approximate the type of climate.
These are all important tools to estimate past climatic conditions and extend our understanding far beyond our recorded data, as well as to establish a knowledge base of natural climatic variability prior to widespread human influence. Studying these dramatic shifts in past climate on various time scales can help to explain how much of our current warming may be due to natural causes versus human influence, and can help us to plan for future climate changes.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy will be sidelined indefinitely with sore knees, it was announced today by General Manager Rich Cho.
"Unfortunately, Brandon Roy's condition has not significantly improved and we've decided to hold him out indefinitely," said Cho. "In the short term, we're going to proceed with an extended period of rest. Beyond that, we're looking at all available treatment options to help better determine a course of action."
Roy, 26, has missed nine games this season (three games from Nov. 16-20 and the last six games beginning on Dec. 17) with a sore left knee.
A three-time NBA All-Star and 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year, Roy has led the team in scoring in each of the last three seasons. He holds career averages of 19.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.08 steals in 297 career games (295 starts).
In 23 games (all starts) this season, Roy has averaged 16.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.13 steals in 35.3 minutes per game. He scored 20 points or more in nine contests and led the team in scoring eight times.

The previous section of this article looked at advances in health care, as well as some warnings about their efficacy at the Connected Health Conference. In sessions about experiments in altering care, people managing the new programs stressed that commitment and expertise are not enough; these programs call for structural and culture change within organizations. One speaker pointed out that quality programs must assess not just an individual clinician, but the whole system that intervenes in patient care.
In its 12th year, the Connected Health Symposium is more successful than ever: the most attendees, most exhibitors, and biggest sponsorship ever. More to the point, I noticed more sessions this year focusig on immediate, practical logistics of getting new programs in place. But a number of adoption issues remain:
Many pilot programs weren't designed to be sustainable and scalable; even when successful, they weren't adopted by the larger organization. Some speakers blamed these dead ends on a lack of an individual champion, others on the lack of organizational structures for promoting change.
Payers expect to see a return on investment within three years, but patients take much longer to show benefits of health. This isn't rational. One speaker pointed out that while an insurer's patients will move on, it will gain new patients that another insurer invested in. So a long-term investment will raise all boats. However, the fossilized financial models remain in place
Cost savings can slip away from you. Robert Perl, executive director and CEO of The Permanente Medical Group, reported that the use of electronic health records at Kaiser Permanente improved care but did not lower costs. The savings all went into the very expensive EHR itself, as well as the extra time physicians had to spend entering data because of the EHR's design. But Kaiser chose to install Epic, so one could ask Dr. Perl why he expected the outcome to be any different.
It's also disheartening to hear visitors from other countries. One would think that Britain and Canada, with their more broadly designed health care systems, would have solved the problems with data exchange and cost control that the U.S. struggles with. But reports suggest they're just as bad off. The Canadian speaker said that after his PCP retired, no records were sent to his new one. Britain's integration data efforts are still a "work in progress," according to Anne Avidon, Head of Global Health Innovation at the Life Sciences Organisation of UK Trade & Investment. South Africa is also lagging on interoperability and data exchange. Semih Sen, a health care executive from Abu Dhabi, pointed out that "health care is the only industry left that isn't global" and suggested some reforms, such as cross-border licenses.
My impression, overall, is that strides are being made in using data, engaging with individuals around their health needs, and providing innovative treatment options–but mostly outside the traditional institutions of health care. Those institutions are still trying to figure out how to achieve the organizational change that can permit them to participate in the health care revolution. And some are pouring money into experiments that they eventually abandon or can't get financial benefit from because the environment is against them.
Next year, perhaps more institutions will find the way forward.

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
Jesus criticizes those who simply argue about things in order to avoid
loving one another and treating one another with justice. Jesus is
pointing to us that we have the responsibility. It is not a matter of
looking at others and seeing how they fail to live up to God's law. No, it
is a matter of seeing the challenged aimed directly at us, at me. I must
walk the way of the Lord and seek His will.
The first reading today, from the Book of Sirach, tells us that if you
trust in God, you too shall live. This also speaks to this deep and
personal relationship that we are invited to live with God. We are not
trying to impress anyone else. We are trying to live the love that God has
given to us. This has been true through all ages.
Too often we can begin to think of doing God's will as simply following
directions to do the right things. The readings today are very clear:
doing God's will is a matter of having a heart that loves others because we
know that we are loved by God Himself. Actions must flow from this deep
relationship with the living God.
The First Letter to the Corinthians, from which our second reading today is
taken, also speaks of a wisdom that comes from God. God's wisdom is always
mystery. Mystery does not mean that we cannot know something, only that
the reality is enormous and we must work daily to understand it. Love is a
mystery because it can never be exhausted. Love is a mystery because it
always challenges us to go further. Love is a mystery because God's love
for us is infinite and we are to love in the same way.
My sisters and brothers, God wants us! He wants all of us. He wants every
bit of us. This world will change dramatically the more we give of
ourselves. What is most important in our world is to respond now to the
love that God pours out upon us. Let us walk in the love of God.

(spoiler alert - this review includes comments in paragraph 3 that reveal the outcomes of the swims. Please feel free to click away and come back later if you prefer not to know in advance).
I finally had the chance to watch the recently released documentary, Driven - a film by Ben Pitterle and Brian Hall from Element 8 Productions about marathon swimming, focusing on swims by teenager Fiona Goh, novice swimmer, mother and insurance company worker, Cherie Edborg, and experienced marathon swimmer, blogger and co-founder of the Marathon Swimmers Forum, Evan Morrison. All of the swims are under the auspices of the Santa Barbara Channel Swimming Association; both Goh and Edberg are taking on the 12.5 mile swim from Anacapa to Oxnard, and Morrison is attempting the 19 miles from Santa Cruz to Oxnard. The story of the three protagonists is told through a mix of documentary footage of training and the swims themselves, first person narration to camera by the swimmers and unseen narrator commentary, all punctuated by lengthy and engaging extracts of interviews with marathon swimming veterans Ned Denison, Scott Zornig, Steve Munatones and David Yudovin. The film is visually stunning, and I defy anyone not to want to pack up their stuff and move to southern California immediately to spend the rest of their lives swimming in the beautiful waters there. I spent most of the film plotting such an escape; every cell in my body wanted to go swimming while I was watching it (but then I am currently in a very advanced state of swim OW swim deprivation and am therefore easily provoked).
I have to confess that I have been putting off watching it. The trailer for the film tends to focus on the risk, isolation, challenge and hardship of swimming; it makes perfect sense in terms of attracting the attention of potential audiences, but it's not a representation of swimming that I necessarily enjoy. But the film itself is a different kettle of fish, capturing splendidly the swirling mix of pleasures, excitement, nervousness, discomfort and occasional outright misery of a long swim. Indeed, the reality of marathon swims is that they are usually long enough to experience many emotions and sensations, the fluctuating melange of which constitutes the experience of the sport rather than any single element. Capturing this is the film's greatest accomplishment in my view.
There were many striking moments for me: the sight of Morrison floundering confusedly in the churning darkness, and the palpable despair that he was projecting through the swimming body, is painful to watch, especially in such a supremely elegant and powerful swimmer; the delight of Edberg in her accomplishments and her radiating, somewhat surprised, love of the water; Goh's bravely accepting resignation after being pulled from the water having given everything that she had to give; the attentive concern of the crews and observers tasked with taking care of the swimmers and keeping them safe; the beautiful water, its wildlife and the stunning coastline and islands. I am sure that I'm not the only swimmer who saw her own experiences - good and bad - reflected in those of the swimmers in the film, and watching was an act of constant snaps of visceral recognition and bodily memories of the triumphs of finishing, the frustrations of a goal not achieved, the torture of knowing that you could just get out, and the unparalleled lusciousness of the water.
There are also some very situationally specific touches that make this less a film about marathon swimming per se, and more about marathon swimming in southern California (and I don't mean this as a criticism - I liked the specificity and focus). To northern European eyes, for example, or anyone whose marathon swimming experience comes primarily from the English Channel, they will have been drooling at the bright blue skies, glistening water and luxuriously sandy beaches; the use of accompanying kayaks is also a practice that is alien to English Channel swimming and which (from my experience at least) fundamentally changes the dynamics of a swim. I think it's a useful reminder that even where rules are standardised across marathon swims, the experience of each swim is always gloriously particular, influenced by locally accepted practices, environments and the manifold vagaries of what happens on the day.
I had a couple of small reservations. I would have liked to have seen some female swimmers among the veteran commentators - it is great to see female swimmers play such a major role in the film, but it would also have been nice to have a woman's voice among the experts to illustrate the depth and breadth of female expertise and experience that exists within the sport, especially since both of the women featured were relative novices. I would also have liked to have heard more from the crews, who have a unique perspective on swims that is easily overlooked; indeed, the responsibility that they take on, as well as their own sleep deprivation, seasickness, cold and other discomforts are as much a part of the sport as the aching shoulders and nauseated stomach of the swimmer.
But it is a really great watch that does a fantastic job of capturing the compelling pleasures and hardships that constitute marathon swimming. You can buy it here for just under $13; swimmers will eat it up, and non-swimmers might find in it clues to what draws their intoxicated, addicted friends and loved ones to the open water. And if that doesn't pique your interest, the beautiful shots of strings of salps, passing mola mola or scores of bat rays sailing gracefully below will.

Will 2nd-half trend continue
Since Charlie has been at the manager, the Phillies re 19 games above .500 at the All-Star break. After the break, 70 games over.
The after the break portion of the schedule begins tonight in Wrigley Field, the first of four games against the Cubs. About half of the team was on the Delta charter last evening. Many of the players headed home for the three-day break and went to
Chicago on their own. Those at the All-Star Game in Anaheim went directly to the Windy City.
Next eight games are against the NL Central. The Phillies are 16-8 vs. the Central, including sweeps in Milwaukee and Houston. After the Cubs, the Phillies head south to St. Louis and four games against the Cardinals. Then back home for four against the Rockies and three vs. Arizona.
Bobby Shantz, Dick Allen and Tug McGraw are among 15 inductees in Class VII of the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame. The annual banquet is November 11.
Number 1
Baseball America's John Manuel has posted his top 50 prospect list as the minor leagues also hit mid-season.
His number 1 prospect is outfielder Domonic Brown.
Another Streak
Second baseman Harold Garcia of the Clearwater Threshers recently broke the Florida State League record by hitting in 37 consecutive games.
Centerfielder Jiwan James of the Lakewood BlueClaws tied the club record by hitting in his 21st straight game last night, a first-inning single. Ambiorix Reyes set the Lakewood record in 2001.
James is hitting .327 since he started the streak on May 30. The BlueClaws are 28-11 during his streak. His season average has reached .264, the highest since .270 on April 15.
James, a 21-year-old switch hitter, was a 22nd round selection in 2007 out of Williston (FL) High School. He missed all of last season with a right biceps injury.
The Phillies seem to have a lot of depth in centerfielders in their minor league system, all very athletic players.

Oliver Heaviside and Newton Abbott
A sketch by Alan Heather:
When I moved to Paignton in 1959 I had no idea that buried near my new home was a famous forebear of mine, Oliver Heaviside. My family on my mother's side - she was a Heaviside - would speak of Oliver, but until I went to school and learned about a Heaviside Layer around the Earth off which radio signals 'bounced', I knew little of him, except he was deaf, and had bright red hair and piercing eyes which frightened children.
When Oliver Heaviside moved in 1897 to Bradley View, 2 Totnes Road, few people in Newton Abbot would have known they had an eminent scientist living there. An outstanding physicist and mathematician, in a few years he would explain in a now world-famous prediction why wireless waves were able to travel around the Earth and not be lost in space.
Oliver, then 47 years old, was already well known for his work on the science of long distance telegraphy and telephone systems, and was a Fellow of the Royal Society. He was to stay in Newton until 1909 when he was forced by ill health to move nearer relatives in Torquay.
An 'oddity' rather than an eccentric, he was a bachelor with an impish sense of humour. He spent much time studying and writing scientific papers in complete solitude. As a result he was often not understood by local people and his time at Bradley View was sometimes fraught. Youngsters threw stones at windows in the house and wrote unpleasant remarks on the front gate. As they played in nearby Bakers Park they often trespassed in the garden to steal from fruit trees. Hampered by deafness, he suffered from gout and was constantly plagued with bouts of jaundice, one of which was to cost him his life.
His time at Newton was not always unhappy. He derived much satisfaction from his scientific and mathematical work and spent many happy hours cycling around the Devon lanes on his new 'safety bicycle' - a new concept then in cycling. It had no freewheel and only a spoon brake, which pressed on the front tyre!
One of his favourite destinations was Berry Pomeroy Castle. He also cycled to Little Haldon and to Babbacombe, and to his brother Charles who ran a music shop in Torwood Street, Torquay. The family was musical and Oliver played the Aeolian harp and his ocarina, a small egg-shaped porcelain wind instrument. So much for a personal sketch, though there are many other stories I could tell of his days at Bradley View.
It was during his sojourn there that Marconi first sent radio signals across the Atlantic, though he could not explain why they were not stopped by the curvature of the Earth.
A year later, in 1902, Oliver made his famous prediction that wireless waves might be 'caught' by a layer in the atmosphere, which later became the Heaviside Layer. (Now we know it as the E layer.) He made the prediction in an article contributed to the tenth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. In it he suggested that waves travelling around the Earth
might accommodate themselves to the surface of the sea in the same way as waves follow wires.Further on he suggested that
there may possibly be a sufficiently conducting ionised layer in the upper air. If so the waves will, so to speak, catch on to it more or less. Then the guidance will be on the sea on one side and the upper layer on the other.
It was not until 1924, one year before his death at Torquay, his prediction was finally proved to be correct. Subsequent work carried out by Heaviside added greatly to our knowledge of the relationship between the sun and the Earth. His work in which he produced theories to try to correlate electromagnetism with gravitation still fits in with modern research into high energy physics.
Before he arrived at Newton Abbot from Paignton, where he had lived with his parents, he already had 'apostles' in the world of electronic engineering. His earlier visionary idea to insert loading coils at intervals along long-distance telephone and telegraphy circuits was one of the great milestones in the development of telephony.
He made brilliant and original contributions to mathematics, developing in the process his own operational calculus now successfully applied in different branches of pure mathematics. He invented words in common use today by radio amateurs and electrical engineers working with AC circuits - words such as impedance, inductance and attenuation.
A lot of publicity has been given to the later years of his life when he lived like a recluse at Torquay, but much of his work was done in London, Paignton and Newton Abbot. The town should be proud of its famous resident who now lies buried with his parents in Colley End Road cemetery, Paignton, just a quarter of a mile from my former home.
He was a nephew of Charles Wheatstone, of the Wheatstone Bridge fame, known to many pupils learning about electromagnetism at school.
Heaviside was awarded the first Faraday Medal to be presented, which can now be seen at the London HQ of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. His main work, three volumes titled Electromagnetic Theory and a fourth volume incomplete and unpublished at the time of his death, has a great deal of humour mixed up with philosophy. It is sobering to think that my illustrious forebear's work on the constitution of the atom led to the use of atomic energy!
The above article was written initially for for a magazine issued to members by the Torbay Amateur Radio Society. The club has its HQ in Newton Abbot, hence the Newton Abbot slant.

Extra keyboard keys
Related articles
Many keyboards include some special keys (also called hotkeys or multimedia keys), which are supposed to execute an application or print special characters (not included in the standard national keymaps). udev contains a large database of mappings specific to individual keyboards, so common keyboards usually work out of the box. If you have very recent or uncommon piece of hardware, you may need to adjust the mapping manually.
Prerequisite for modifying the key mapping is knowing how the keys are identified on the system. There are multiple levels:
- A scancode is the lowest identification number for a key, it is the value that a keyboard sends to a computer.
- A keycode is the second level of identification for a key, a keycode corresponds to a function.
- A keysym is the third level of identification for a key, it corresponds to a symbol. It may depend on whether the Shift key or another modifier key was also pressed.
Scancodes are mapped to keycodes, which are then mapped to keysyms depending on used keyboard layout. Most of your keys should already have a keycode, or at least a scancode. Keys without a scancode are not recognized by the kernel; these can include additional keys from 'gaming' keyboards, etc.
In Xorg, some keysyms (e.g.
XF86AudioRaiseVolume etc.) can be mapped to actions (i.e. launching an external application). See Extra keyboard keys in Xorg#Mapping keysyms to actions for details.
In Linux console, some keysyms (e.g.

F246) can be mapped to certain actions (e.g. switch to other console or print some sequence of characters). See Extra keyboard keys in console for details.
Identifying key codes
Using showkey
The traditional way to get a scancode is to use the showkey utility. showkey waits for a key to be pressed, or exits if no keys are pressed within 10 seconds. For showkey to work you need to be in a virtual console, not in a graphical environment or logged in via a network connection. Run the following command:
# showkey --scancodes
and try to push keyboard keys; you should see scancodes being printed to the output.
Using evtest
For USB keyboards, it is apparently necessary to use evtest from the evtest package instead of showkey:[1]
# evtest /dev/input/event12 ... Event: time 1434666536.001123, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 70053 Event: time 1434666536.001123, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 69 (KEY_NUMLOCK), value 0 Event: time 1434666536.001123, -------------- EV_SYN ------------
Use the "value" field of
MSC_SCAN. This example shows that NumLock has scancode 70053 and keycode 69.
Using dmesg
You can get the scancode of a key by pressing the desired key and looking the output of
dmesg command. For example, if you get:
Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xa0 on isa0060/serio0
then the scancode you need is
In console
The keycodes for virtual console are reported by the showkey utility. showkey waits for a key to be pressed and if none is during 10 seconds it quits. To execute showkey you need to be in a virtual console, not in a graphical environment. Run the following command
# showkey --keycodes
and try to push keyboard keys, you should see keycodes being printed to the output.
In Xorg
The keycodes used by Xorg are reported by a utility called xev, which is provided by the xorg-xev package. Of course to execute xev, you need to be in a graphical environment, not in the console.
With the following command you can start xev and show only the relevant parts:
$ xev | awk -F'[ )]+' '/^KeyPress/ { a[NR+2] } NR in a { printf "%-3s %s\n", $5, $8 }'
Here is an example output:
38 a 55 v 54 c 50 Shift_L 133 Super_L 135 Menu
Xbindkeys#Identifying keycodes is another wrapper to "xev" that reports keycodes.
If you press a key and nothing appears in the terminal, it means that either the key does not have a scancode, the scancode is not mapped to a keycode, or some other process is capturing the keypress. If you suspect that a process listening to X server is capturing the keypress, you can try running xev from a clean X session:
$ xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :1

Asus M series
In order to have control over the light sensor and the multimedia keys on your Asus machine, you should use the following command:
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/ls_switch
To have it run on boot create a Systemd tmpfile:
w /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/ls_switch - - - - 1
Asus N56VJ (or possibly others)
If most of your special keys do not work, try loading the asus-nb-wmi kernel module with
# modprobe asus-nb-wmi
then check xev again. If you combine this with the acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" boot option, you may get weird results in xev, so try not using it. If this did fix things, make sure to make the module load at boot with methods described here.
Lenovo T460p (or possibly others)
Out of the box, the backlight keys (on F5, F6) might not be available, even via the /dev/input interface. To fix this, try adding the following option to your boot parameters:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="... video.use_native_backlight=1 ..."
Gaming Keyboards
Gaming keyboards have some special features which may cause them to "misbehave" in Linux.
Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire TK
This keyboard has two features that could cause confusion in Linux: N-Key Rollover and the Win-Lock Key.
N-Key Rollover can cause problems with the Function keys. To disable N-key rollover, hold down the FN lock key (next to right-ctrl) until it lights up, then hold Escape and press 6 to switch to 6-key rollover. Hold down the FN lock key to disable the Fn lock.
The Win-Lock Key completely disables the Super (Windows) keys. Simply press the FN lock key and F12 together to toggle Win-Lock on and off.
Logitech G series G710 and 710+
This keyboard has a row of 6 programmable G keys. In order to use them as intended by Logitech, you need to install sidewinderdAUR and start

SPS Corals: A Primer
Small-Polyp Stoney Corals are, as a family, more challenging to keep than the majority of LPS corals. SPS is what many keepers aspire to when starting a reef tank. Almost all SPS demand perfect water conditions, high lighting and stronger, pulsing random current. Stability of temperature is vital.
The only physical difference between LPS and SPS is polyp-size. SPS has very tiny polyps, almost unilaterally emerging from small coralites. The majority of LPS have larger, easily seen polyps.
Species of SPS include corals in the classic antler, encrusting, boulder, and plate forms. Nothing says more 'reef' than SPS. Those who remember The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau TV show, when he visited tropical coral reefs, SPS predominated.
SPS, though a good deal easier to keep than they were in the old days, since most if not all frags are cut from captive mother colonies. SPS are not for beginners or those incapable for keeping them properly. But, I believe forewarned is forearmed, thus this primer. I don't recommend any SPS to any inexperienced keepers.
SPS will avidly feed in the aquarium. A phytoplankton drip to generate zooplankton will enhance the health and form of SPS. Though it's not absolutely necessary to feed photosynthetic SPS, if you wish corals to appear as they do in nature, it's the only way to achieve that.
Now the species.
A family of almost all branched species is Acropora.
A large genus, with over 400 species, so I'll cover a few of the more commonly found. Most all need very high light, like that produced by metal halide bulbs, and strong, random, pulsing current.
It is particularly important that dissolved organics like Nitrate are absent in a SPS tank, and constant natural sea water levels of minerals maintained. You should know that Acropora, as well as most SPS, can release digestive tendrils, called acontia strands, that can dissolve the flesh of nearby corals. Thus, one should space SPS several inches at least so they don't conflict with other corals. All SPS can be considered moderately aggressive because of the filaments.
Long called 'Blue Tip' in the hobby but now available in many other colors is Acropora loripes, a branching species.
Loripes grows into a rather classic form, with strong, slender, bumpy arms with obvious coralites, sometimes in a contrasting color than the arms. It appears rather like an explosion of coral branches, and very well kept, can be quite decorative. Frags are available in several attractive colors.
It does best in the intensely-lit reef aquarium, such as that produced by metal halide bulbs, and strong, pulsing, random currents. One should take considerable time moving the frag to the slope or crest of your reef, to preserve the color and health of this coral. Over time it can grow roughly to the size of a basketball.
Loripes displays small, white polyps in the evening that will capture and consume small creatures, such as Rotifers.
With short arms and almost a perfectly flat growth pattern is the Table Coral, Acropora cytherea. This is one coral which can grow very large, up to 10 feet across, though it'd take a massive tank to allow one to grow that big. Cytherea is native to Hawaiian waters, so a frag is easily found if one searches.
Each arm has incuse coralites, from which the whitish polyps emerge to feed at night. Table does best under halide light, with strong, pulsing, random currents.
Table is commonly found in shades of green and blue, but if moved too quickly to very bright light, will turn to shades of brown.
Table does display small, white feeding polyps at night, and a phytoplankton drip will provide the microorganisms this coral eats. Feeding enhances the size and appearance of this coral.
Table is one of my very favorite SPS.
Available in green, purple, red and blue is Acropora tenuis, found commonly in several South Pacific reefs.
It grows from a rather compact base many, many tapering, round-tipped arms. Over time, in ideal conditions, it can grow rapidly, making a beautiful display. The coralites are numerous and roughly in rows, denoting an avid feeder.
Due to the rich, stunning, colors of this coral you'll see many frags of various color morphs for various prices, the more rich colors costing more. It likes very bright light like all Acropora, but somewhat more moderate, random currents than other species. One should be especially careful and patient moving this coral closer to the lights to preserve the vivid colors and prevent light shock.
The poster child for SPS is the Staghorn Coral, Acropora cervicornus.
Growing in the classic deer antler shape, Staghorn, native to waters around the Gulf of Mexico, is quite endangered. Up to 98 percent of the species has died due to pollution, disease and rising water temperatures due to global warming. Fortunately, Staghorn frags are commercially available, cut from captive mother corals. Because of this, people have hopes the native population, and the species that depend on it, will eventually rebound.
Staghorn can grow very large, with a width up to seven feet across, though such sizes are uncommon in aquariums. It has slender branches that often have off-branches near the tip, with hundreds of coralites on each arm. Staghorn grows in an open form with a wide span of branches. Colors are yellow, orange or shades of brown, but captive populations include purples, greens and blues.
In nature, storms often break off pieces of this coral, and if they land in a place where light, current and food is ideal, will grow into another Staghorn colony. Which means healthy frags are easily found. Like almost all SPS, small, whitish feeding polyps are displayed nightly.
Staghorn, when properly kept, can grow nearly a foot a year, which is quite fast. It likes strong lighting and strong, pulsing, random currents. One must be very, very
slow and careful acclimating to the lights, as this species is prone to bleaching. Once established though, it is quite hardy.
Called 'Cluster Coral' in shops is Acropora millepora.
So named because of the growth pattern of the coral. It grows into a rather compact mass of hefty branches. Its coralites are semi-circular, so the arms look like they have hundreds of upside down 'Cs'. Because of this, the coral arms can look rather fuzzy. It grows into the classic 'ball of coral' form.
Cluster is commonly available in dazzling colors. Like most SPS, it needs very high light and strong, pulsing random currents. NSW levels and temperature must be constantly spot on if one wishes to have success with these reef-building corals.
Colors currently available are many, but the original imports were a creamy yellow. One should take considerable time acclimating Cluster to your proper high light reef to maintain the color of the frag.
All Acropora corals should be very gradually moved over time to the 'crest' of your reef, the upper third, nearest the lights. That is key to keeping the vivid color of the frags, as too quick light acclimation can have the colors change to brown, and in a worse case, bleaching, which is the death of the symbiotic algae that feeds the photosynthetic SPS, can occur.
One should be very patient and careful acclimating your Acropora to your proper high lighting, starting about mid-way up on your reef.
Commonly available and popular is the Bird Nest Coral, Seriapora hystrix.
In the high ligh,t and brisk pulsing random current, aquarium, Bird Nest forms a bush-like, inverted cone form. The arms are thin, branched, and numerous, making the coral look rather like a bird's nest. Lower on the reef in somewhat less light, the arms can grow thicker.
Colors available can include pinks, creams, yellows, purples and reds, the latter rarely.
Due to its need for high light and current, one should place the frag on the slope or crest of your reef. As with all SPS, Bird's Nest should be very slowly and carefully acclimated to your lights, to prevent shock and the possibility of bleaching.
Found in tropical reefs nearly world wide is the Club Finger Coral, Stylopora pistillata.
When this coral breeds, the motile gametes (larvae) travel widely, taking some time before settling and growing, thus is in reefs in both Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This means it's a common sight in better fish stores.
Also called Cat's Paw, Club Finger grows thick, strong branches that are squared-off at the top. This reef-building coral grows into rather a mound of closely-packed branches, and can grow to dinner plate size or larger when properly kept and fed. It is one of the more hardy of the SPS.
Of all SPS, Club Finger is slightly more forgiving as to light and current. Though it is most colorful and grows best in strong, pulsing, random currents on the crest of your reef under halides, one can also site it on the slope where light isn't quite as intense and current is more moderate. Thus, Club Finger is a good SPS for competent beginners to try.
Colors can include an attractive tawny cream, blues and green, though some from Australian waters include specimens with other intense colors of this species.
Like many SPS, Club Finger displays thousands of small, white feeding polyps from its coralites at night. A phytoplankton drip is very helpful in generating tiny life this coral can eat, and feeding will very much enhance the growth and appearance of Club Finger.
Called Cactus Coral in shops are the Pavona species.
The most commonly available is P. varians. The 'varians' is descriptive, since it can be found in branching, encrusting and plate forms. In all of them thin, blade-like coralites are between meandering ridges of the skeleton. Colors include brown, blue, green, red, and most strikingly, multi-colored. This species is common in Hawaiian waters.
When the polyps are displayed in the evenings, this coral can appear very fuzzy. An avid feeder, one should start a phytoplankton drip so this coral can feed on the zooplankton at least a month prior to purchasing the frag.
It likes very bright light and brisk, pulsing currents. It should be gradually moved closer to the lights over time, to preserve the vivid colors of this coral.
Growing into a plate-like form is P. decussata.
With a thin, ridge-like skeleton and available in many colors, though most commonly in red, decussata will attach to live rock. There it forms colonies that can look like a stack of colorful large potato chips.
Most often its frag is placed on the edge of live rock in the upper part of the tank. Growing horizontally, in time you'll have a collection of decussata forming a shelf of coral.
Like the above, coralites are thin from which blade-like polyps emerge from between many, many thin ridges.
Fairly hardy, and thus adaptable somewhat to more moderate light and current, though it does best in strong light and a strong, random, pulsing flow.
With prominent sloping coralites looking like the trunks of tiny elephants is Mycedium elephantotus, the Elephant Nose Coral.
Growing into a plate-like form, Elephant Nose is available in several colors and sometimes available in contrasting colors between the flesh and coralites. In a properly-kept reef tank, it can grow into tiers, folded bowls, or large, flat rounded disks. The shape of the coral is the result of current, light and feeding. Given the latter, Elephant Nose can grow quite large; several feet across, though it will take years to get there, since this species grows moderately slowly.
The coralites in larger specimens can grow more than a half-inch long. The feeding polyps are displayed in the evenings, and for continued health and growth, a live phytoplankton drip will provide the Rotifer population this coral eats.
Elephant Nose should be kept in very bright light, but about midway up your reef since it prefers moderate, pulsing, random currents, however it can adapt to stronger currant and a more prominent placing nearer the lights, if one is quite careful and patient in acclimating it to such conditions.
One of the most unique of the SPS is Elephant Skin, Pachyseris rugosa.
Because of the thin, randomly scattered skeletal ridges, it can resemble the skin of an elephant. In the aquarium in ideal conditions, it can grow quite large; more than a yard across, though it can take several years for it to get there. This coral encrusts live rock, and when moderately grown, can be in a leafy or dish-shaped. Over time, though, it can grow into columns, undulating bowls, tiers and other forms. Colors can include green, blue, cream and grey.
This coral needs intense light, like that from metal halide bulbs, and strong, chaotic, pulsing current. The green-colored specimen I have fluoresces brightly under actinic light. To my knowledge this species either doesn't have or doesn't display feeding polyps. It can, however, capture small life in the slight mucus layer this species possesses. A phytoplankton drip has proven beneficial as Elephant Skin can grow into an attractive, colorful form.
Be sure to get a frag from a captive-raised coral, since wild caught examples often fail in the aquarium.
A moderately challenging species to keep, Elephant Skin is a good coral for experienced keepers to try.
The sole non-photosynthetic SPS coral in this list is Lace Coral, Distichopora species.
What makes this beautiful coral worth keeping is its branching form and color, which can be brilliant red, purple, cream and tan. Found under shaded overhangs in nature, Lace has thick, paw-like arms that are edged by thin feeding tendrils that give this species its common name, as the coral can appear clothed in a translucent lace. The term for such a feeding method is hydnophores. The arms are fragile and easily broken.
Being non-photosynthtic, one must feed this coral to have success with it. Due to my research prior to keeping Lace Coral, I discovered that it most commonly consumes live phytoplankton, so a continual drip is essential. Given moderate, pulsing flow and fed properly, Lace will grow slowly but steadily. Lower lighting is best, since it will prevent algae from forming on this coral. It should be under the edge of partial or full shade in the lowest region in your tank. One should have a phytoplankton drip established at least a month prior to purchase.
In shops the frags don't look like much, but with proper feeding and current, can grow into one of the most beautiful of the SPS. One should inspect a frag closely for health, since a lack of feeding hastens the demise of this coral.
Given proper conditions, Lace is rather easy to keep, so a good choice for those who are prepared to care for it.
Similar to Acropora, but with thicker, strong branches are the Horn Corals, Hydnophora species.
The genus describes the coralites of this coral, as they are are fused together, giving Horn a velvety form. The term for such a feeding form is hydnophores.
Species available include grandis, rigida and exesa. Although all form encrusting mats with vertical arms, grandis is the most decorative, as from a strong trunk, a fan of short arms covered with hydnophores, giving Horn a rather quilted look. The ends of the arms can have a groove, though that may be more typical in other species of Horn. Horn can grow large, several feet across, though it will take some time to get there.
Horn needs very bright light like that from metal halides, strong, pulsing, random currents, and regular feeding. Given them, it can grow quite rapidly, and since it possess short, powerful sweeper tentacles, space corals either on different tiers or a good distance away from Horn. Properly kept, Horn is quite hardy and will grow well, but has been known to fail if placed in conditions not to its liking. Horn is extremely sensitive to dissolved organics like Nitrate, and natural sea water levels of minerals must be spot on, and it is particularly important that the aquarium temperature is steady. Stability is crucial in keeping this coral (all coral actually).
Horn is a Rotifer eater, so a phytoplankton drip is a very good idea to generate the food for success with your Horn Coral. Colors can include blue, florescent green, cream, red, purple, and brown. One should take time and care both in acclimation and placement in your reef, moving the frag slowly but promptly nearer the proper levels of light and current. Established, it is hardy, when kept in proper conditions.
Horn is an interesting, attractive, reef-building coral for experienced keepers that provide proper environs.
Covered in thousands of small, eye-like, roughly circular coralites are the Jewel Corals, Porites species.
Porites grows into dozens of forms, with the jewel-like coralites the only sure way to identify it. It can form boulders, branching, club and finger-like, and more. Colors available include green, blue, yellow, red and purple.
This coral has particularly tiny, whitish polyps, which are displayed at night. If establishing a live phytoplankton drip some weeks prior to purchasing the frag, the Rotifers generated will be happily consumed, and will enhance the color, size and health of the coral.
Species usually available can include Jeweled Toe, which forms an encrusting mat with toe-like arms, and the branching Jeweled Finger, which grows into the classic antler-shaped form. A reef aquarium must be rock solid stable; any variation can damage or kill this coral. Thus, Porites are not for those ill-equipped to keep it.
Porites is peaceful, lacking sweeper tentacles, but can be easily killed by aggressive corals, so place it where it won't conflict. One should take considerable time moving Porites nearer the high lighting to preserve the health and color of the coral.
Jewel Corals need very high light and strong, pulsing current. Stable natural sea water conditions are particularly important with Porites. Given them and regular proper feeding, it will grow well, forming a lovely display.
Called Cauliflower Coral in shops are those of the Genus Pocillopora.
The common name describes it, as the growth pattern rather looks like the head of a piece of cauliflower.
The species usually found are verrucosa, damicornis and meandrina. All are similar, the difference being the shape and size of the skeletal ridges. This coral is widespread and is found on reefs from India to Mexico, meaning frags or it, in many, many different colors, are easily found.
Cauliflower grows into a roughly circular form if surrounded by low walls of live rock. It'll grow long and random on the exposed crest of your reef. Over time, small versions of itself can detach and form new colonies.
The coral needs strong, pulsing, chaotic currents, and frags often fail if you don't give it to them. Though it looks and grows best in the very high light generated by metal halides, Cauliflower can adapt to slightly lower light, like that from a bank of T5 bulbs. But remember, this coral must have strong, random currents. Take considerable time adapting this coral to your lighting.
The mass of ridges are surrounded by raised coralites, adding to the common name. Like most SPS, whitish polyps that are in this case larger than those fhan most, are displayed at night. This coral does feed on Rotifers and phytoplankton, so constant drip of the latter will provide the proper numbers of Rotifers to keep this, all corals and clams actually, in top condition.
Though moderately challenging to keep, a beautiful stoney coral for a hobbyist to try.
A most challenging SPS to keep are the Lettuce Corals, Pectinia species.
What makes these corals harder to keep depends purely on how the frag was kept before purchase. Lettuce is found in nature from the crest of the reef with strong, chaotic currents, down to 50 feet, where light and current are more moderate. Thus, the precise level of light and current must be known before you buy a frag of this coral. Some will prefer lower light and current, some very high light and strong, random, pulsing currents. Make sure you know how the frag was kept, so you can replicate it in your reef.
Species available include the plate-like P. lactuca, which goes under the common name as Frilly Lettuce, Antler Lettuce P. alcicornis, and the encrusting Palm Lettuce, P. peonia.
Lactuca forms a mat with large ridges that continue to grow over time, giving the coral a 'frilly' look. Alcicornis grows into an elk horn form, and Palm produces strong, feathered arms from a rather compact encrusting base. All are available in pinkish, cream, and brown, with contrasting colored arms. Most Pectinia fluoresce in shades of green or blue under halide light.
Pectinia corals display nearly invisible feeding polyps in the evening, and I've found feeding them via phytoplankton drip very helpful in maintaining the health of this coral.
A challenging coral to keep, the Pectinia species, but once established, can thrive when kept properly kept.
Very popular is the Velvet Coral, Montipora digitata.
Digitata can form boulders, encrusting mats, slab-like plates, and even delicate branching forms. The variation is such that almost any shape or color can be found in shops. Common colors are vivid shades of purple, blue, red and green.
The common name describes the feeding polyps displayed at night, since they are quite small and numerous, giving the coral a velvety look. I've found them to consume small life in the evenings, so a phytoplankton drip is helpful in providing it.
Velvet likes strong, pulsing, random currents and bright light, but care must be exercised moving the frag to the latter.
Though fairly difficult to keep, with the encrusting and boulder forms slightly hardier, Velvet is an attractive addition to the reef.
Our last coral is one of the most challenging, Ruffled Coral, Merulina scabricula.
Ruffled can grow into vertical plates, tiered ridges, and rounded mats, All, over time, will grow feathered branches upward. Very common in nature, it is found in areas of high turbidity in shallow water, meaning it needs brisk, chaotic currents that pulse in the aquarium. High dissolved Oxygen is particularly important, and it cannot drop below 8 mg/l at any time, day or night, for success with this coral. Lighting should be strong, and halide light is recommended.
The coral has cross-hatched ridges across the skeleton, giving it the common name. Small feeding polyps are displayed at night, so a phytoplankton drip will develop the rich level of zooplankton this coral experiences in nature.
Colors include florescent green, blue, pink, cream and purple, often with contrasting colors on the ridges. It is a lovely display under halide light.
In a scale of difficulty, Ruffled Coral is a 10, but is by no means impossible to keep, thus is a good species for experienced keepers that can keep it properly. Established, it is quite hardy and attractive.
So ends the SPS primer. Though more challenging to keep than LPS or soft corals, success with SPS gives one a sense of accomplishment. I have hopes this primer encourages more to try their hand at SPS.

Tingatinga Art is a unique style of painting. Commonly known as airport art.
You will not see this type of African art anywhere else in the world. Although some artists are travelling and starting to take their art further a field.
Tingatinga African art is primarily produced and sold in Tanzania.
It all started with a man called Eduardo Saidi Tingatinga, born in 1932 in a Namochelia village (which does not exist today). It was near Mindu and Nakapanya village, ca 70 km east of Tunduru town.
Eduardo Saidi Tingatinga was a self taught painter, with only 4 years of primary school education. He was just starting to receive recognition for his square board-paintings, when his life was cut short in 1972, he was mistaken for a fleeing thief and fatally shot by the police. Before he died he started to attracted young followers wanting to imitate his style. Today Tingatinga thrives. You will never see massed produced Tingatinga Art.
Traditional Tingatinga African Art can be described as folk art or abstract art. Often painting the Maasai in their bright colored cloth. African artwork is truely a unique style of painting. No two paintings will ever be the same.

Why you should add Malawi to your Indie/RTW trip
- Malawi has some of the friendliest, most open and hospitable people in Africa. It's impossible to leave Malawi without a few friends in tow.
- Sometimes called "Africa for beginners," Malawi is one of the easier places to get around, with (semi) reliable and comfortable transportation.
- Malawi is one of the cheapest countries in Southern Africa, and you can see all of its amazing sights for around $25USD a day.
- Options. Malawi is definitely the spot for lovers of the outdoors. Visit the isolated villages that dot the northern lakeshore of Lake Malawi, or the beautiful Liwonde National Park rests at its southern tip and take a stab at freshwater diving and snorkeling. Take a trek in the misty heights of Mouny Mulanje, or experience an authentic African city in Lilongwe.
- Cost. Malawi is one of the cheapest countries in Southern Africa. Depending on your tastes, your dollar can go far, and to participate in some of Malawi's great activities your budget can start at a mere $15USD per day.
Indie Travel TipsMalawi is already a popular spot on the Southern Africa circuit because of its picturesque scenery and super friendly population, but there are still plenty of ways to get off-the-beaten-path:
- Lake Malawi is a traveler's paradise. Kayak through untouched islands, take your first freshwater scuba-dive, or relax on a near deserted beach.
- See more stars in the African sky than you thought existed when you take in Lake Malawi's shoreline on the ancient Ilala ferry. You can even sleep out on the deck.
- Take a safari water-style in the Liwonde National Park. You can see hippos and crocodiles on the Shire River, and get up close and personal with elephants on its banks.
- Hike Mount Mulanje for some of the most dramatic views that Malawi has to offer.
OverviewMalawi's title as the "Warm heart of Africa" refers to the friendliness and generosity of the people, but it may just as easily invoke the climate of this tropical refuge in East Africa.
What to doMalawi doesn't get much press as a safari destination, but the vast Nyika National Park rivals even the massive Kruger Park in South Africa for sheer abundance and variety of wildlife.
Safaris and tours of the African ecosystem also bring travelers to Liwonde National Park, another massive stretch of plants and animals uninterrupted by development, industry or human influence.

Getting thereMalawi does not require a visa for visiting, although there is a departure fee of $30 when you exit the country. Flights to Malawi come through Johannesburg, South Africa or Dubai in the Middle East.
For getting around in Malawi, check out the transportation section of Indie Travel in Malawi for $25 Per Day.
Where to stayLike most African countries with world-class parks, there are a few international luxury hotels in Malawi. Many of them are located on the banks of Lake Malawi. For guesthouses and hostels, the city of Blantyre is your best bet and for regular hotels, you can find them all over the country, with the best selection in Lilongwe.

By Tessa Raebeck
Some 20 years ago, Maryann Lucas brought her two young toddlers to visit Laura Grenning at the Grenning Gallery, then located next to the Corner Bar on Sag Harbor's Main Street.
"I'll never forget," said Lucas, flanked by materials and colorful oil paintings in her new studio behind the Romany Kramoris Gallery in the Carruthers Alleyway off Main Street. "When I walked into her gallery for the first time and thought, 'Some day.'"
Over two decades later, 'some day' has arrived; Lucas will join seven other artists in the Holiday Show at the Grenning Gallery this Saturday. Celebrating the gallery's most successful year since its 1997 opening, the Holiday Show features a range of carefully selected artists, coming from as far away as Sweden and as close by as Lucas' studio. While Lucas is showing her work for the first time, headliner Sarah Lamb is returning to the gallery after years of success.
Grenning gave Lamb her first show in 1998, when the artist was in her early 20s. After showing with Grenning for a little over two years, Lamb entered into an exclusive deal with the Spanierman Gallery in New York City. The Spanierman Gallery, which is still open today and continues to show Lamb's work, no longer has an exclusive deal with the artist, allowing her to show with Grenning once more.
"I've been calling her every six months for five or six years now," Grenning said Monday. "I have clients that want her work."
After years of waiting, Grenning is excited to exhibit ten new works by Lamb in the Holiday Show.
"What she's doing is she does these amazing still lives," said the gallerist. "She's very prolific. The thing she spends most of the time on is setting them up and deciding the composition. She's got an excellent eye for design."
Lamb puts more time into designing her work through the composition than she does with the actual execution, which Grenning says usually takes just a day or two.
"The irony of the classical realist movement," says Grenning, "is the classical realists paint but they don't extract themselves to remember why they're painting and what they're painting. They don't think of the composition too much – the abstract design of the painting."
Since the early days of the gallery, when Lamb was a recent art school graduate looking for a break, she has grown tremendously as an artist. In her first show at Grenning, her works sold for $6,000 tops. This weekend, they will sell for up to $25,000.
As evidenced by the Holiday Show line-up, Grenning excels at finding and mentoring new artists. She found Joe Altwer when he was an assistant to Mark Dalessio, one of her gallery's featured artists.
"He actually came to his first opening here on a skateboard," she recalls of the young Altwer, adding that his paintings in the show are "very beautiful, very well done, very bright light…It's all about the light reflecting around the room, it's not so much about describing the objects in the room."
In the Holiday Show, Daniel Graves will exhibit four new landscapes "inspired by the most lyrical and relaxed tonalists." Work by Michael Kotasek, who has been likened to the prominent realist painter Andrew Wyeth but is, according to Grenning, "a lot more refined as a painter," will also be displayed.
The show will feature a "very beautiful" piece of a glass of beer and a musical instrument by Kevin McEvoy, paintings of farmhouses at twilight and a moonrise by Kevin Sanders and an original nocturne of Sag Harbor by Greg Horwich.
And then, of course, there's Lucas.
"I didn't realize all the times I was talking with her that she was an avid artist," said Grenning. As Lucas's talent developed, she began bringing her oil paintings to the gallery for Grenning to critique.
"I find when Laura critiques my work," said Lucas. "I really come away with clarity of how to make it better and at the same time, she makes you feel really good about what's right – she's a wonderful mentor."
"I, for whatever reason, tell people exactly what I think of their paintings," said Grenning. "Unless you're really open to a serious critique it can be unpleasant. She took every observation that I had and responded like an unbelievable student. She had talent but she kind of reorganized herself aesthetically. It's kind of exciting and apparently this is a longtime goal for her."
Apparently. After bringing her work to Grenning last spring, Lucas made some changes, landing herself a spot in the Holiday Show, her first exhibit.
"I used to say to my daughters, we would say, 'Do you think this painting is Grenning worthy'," said Lucas. "Being in her gallery, this is my first – I guess it's like a wish list…I'm thrilled and excited for the opportunity."
The opening reception for the Holiday Show will be held at the Grenning Gallery, 17 Washington Street, on Saturday, November 23 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. For more information, call 725-8469 or visit Grenning Gallery.

Baby Faces. 2006 Ed., originally published 1998. DK Publishing, Inc.
:::Spoiler Alert!:::
The literary world is, of late, unfairly divided into two camps: those who have read the classic board book, "Baby Faces," and those who have not. The message boards are on fire with furious and poorly constructed arguments on both sides. But I say that this is an unfair division because to eschew vitriol on babies who haven't read this book is to misdirect the blame. No one doesn't read "Baby Faces" because he or she doesn't want to read it; rather, one doesn't read "Baby Faces" because one's parent or guardian does not keep it in the house. The blame, then, lies with the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and well-meaning family friends who refuse to expose their baby to the cultural nuance of such a book, the underlying message of inclusion and diversity, and the sheer - I would say almost bottomless - emotional depth the book provides. Shame on you, grown-ups.
Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about the book. "Baby Faces" presents two challenges to the modern baby reader: first, there are words, and while it is not imperative to have a grown-up read the words to you, I do highly recommend you find one who will do this for you; and second, there are no new textures to touch or chew on as there are with other well-esteemed members of the baby board book cannon such as "Animals" or "Let's Get Dressed." But the lack of texture inside "BF" enhances, rather than detracts, from the book's draw: you, the reader, are forced to really LOOK at the baby faces. This emphasis on the sense of sight -- and only sight -- is deceptively simplistic. If you don't believe me, wait until you get to page 3: after two seemingly straightforward faces of babies listed as "Happy" and "Sad," the word under the emotion is read as "Puzzled," but clearly this expression can additionally be interpreted as "confused," "disappointed," or even "constipated." The brilliance of this writing is so far above what most baby books present, and in this way the reader is rewarded for his or her persistence, patience and intelligence.
One of the book's more controversial moments, and my personal favorite, is the two-pager "Peek-a-boo!" scene. In case you've been living under a rock and haven't caught wind of the firestorm surrounding this dramatic scene, I'll sum up for you: a red jumper-clad baby appears from under a basket, thus demonstrating the traditionally admired game of "Peek-a-boo!"
The controversy around this scene is twofold. Not only does this scene take up two pages of a 16-page book, but in the first page of the scene the baby is not entirely hidden under the basket. In what is widely regarded as the authoritative book written on the subject of "Baby Faces," Stuart Gilbert's "James Joyce's Baby Faces: A Study" claims that without the baby's eyes being hidden by the basket, this game of "peek-a-boo" is false, and a trick. While that is a fair and valid reading of the scene, I agree with what David Foster Wallace said in an interview, which is that by seeing the baby's eyes at all time the scene is meant to be a parody of "peek-a-boo," and the reader invited in on the joke.
Finally, no review of "BF" is complete without at least a casual mention of the kissing page. If the "peek-a-boo" pages are one of the book's more controversial scenes, then the kissing page is, without a doubt, the most controversial scene. Some words pulled from other reviews and online message board comments about this scene call it "gratuitous," "exploitative," or even "silly," but again, those are overly simplistic explanations for a rather complicated book. Sure, in an otherwise culturally diverse book we have two white, blond babies giving each other a little kiss, which might undermine the presence of the rest of the colorful cast, but my reading of the scene was that it was a natural progression of the plot.
My strongest issue with the book is the ending. After rewarding the reader again and again with imaginative plot twists ("Angry" juxtaposed with "Worried!") and wink-wink-nudge-nudge satiric humor ("Hungry!"), I was left with a bad taste in my mouth at the vapid "Fast Asleep" last page. Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but I don't like when a book thinks it can trick me into sleeping with a picture of a - yes - sleeping baby. Not only was this an insult, but it was a low-brow one, which makes it all that much more disappointing.
Will "BF" be loved by everyone? Of course not. It already isn't. Is this something everyone should read anyway? Absolutely. Despite the ending the book manages to entertain, surprise, and challenge the reader in the best of ways, and this is why I return to these colorful pages again and agin.

Superdry USA continued their move to bring their historically popular British style to the United States as they opened their second Los Angeles store location on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade.
Superdry has been a hit in Europe since 2003 and over the fast few years they have started to invade the United States with their stylish clothing line. Superdry is a combination of Japanese design influences that are merged into a vintage American look, you could call their line of clothing sophisticated casual.
While Superdry is breaking into markets all over the United States, I would say they were made for California. They make for an amazing interchangeable wardrobe that can be worn for so many different occasions and they also are perfect for layering and letting you create a variety of ensembles with the pieces that you own. You can throw one of their unique t-shirts under one of their lumberjack shirts and throw on any of the great Superdry jackets and you are set for the day. The best thing about the t-shirts is that they are unique designs and they only have a three month run, so you are not likely to bump into someone with the same shirt. Let's not forget the incredibly soft denim line that you can combine with their high end shoes and boots.
The Superdry jackets are all very stylish and they come in a wide range of styles, colors and very depending on season but they are amazing because they are not just cool to look at, they are functional. They have been designed to fit your needs, if you need a jacket to help you cut through a stiff cold wind or something light for a spring morning or to fight off the rain, you are able to find that perfect jacket for each season and you know it will do the job and you will look cool wearing it. If you want to look really cool, you really need to check out the leather jacket line at Superdry. These are as good as it gets, beautiful leather and a comfortable fit that when you find your size you will know it was made just for you. The motorcycle leather bombers would be a great place to start when you begin looking for the ultimate leather jacket.
Just in time for summer, Superdry will also be introducing a women's swim collection that will include bikinis and convertible cover-up dresses. For your adventure to the beach once summer hits, Superdry has a great line of accessories to make your day easier. Starting with an assortment of bags that range from big enough to take on a trip overseas to smaller versions that are made specifically to hold a computer or I-Pad, again Superdry made a rugged yet stylish collection that will keep all of your gear safe. If you are looking for a great way to listen to your music, Superdry has introduced its own high end headphones.
On Friday, March 23, Superdry USA dropped by HYDE Staples Center to celebrate the opening. Glee stars Mark Salling, Chord Overstreet and Harry Shum Jr. and Twilight's Nikki Reed with husband Paul McDonald, actor Luke Grimes and 90210's Gillian Zinser and Matt Lanter all joined in the festivities and cheered on the Lakers as they made their way to victory. Actor Ewan McGregor, True Blood's Ryan Kwanten and Disney Channel star Brenda Song kicked off the official store opening celebration on Thursday by picking up an assortment of Superdry's spring essentials which Brenda was spotted wearing at Friday's game.
If you want to set yourself apart from the crowd and you want to avoid wearing the same tired t-shirt collection that everyone else is wearing, Superdry is the place to begin shopping. You will not only find yourself with an original and stylish look, but all of your friends will be asking you what label that you are wearing.

Dukes of Ale
Homebrew club gets technical about beer
The secondary mission of Dukes of Ale: Teach people how to taste beer.
Diary of a Homebrewer
I was a late-blooming beer drinker. I didn't really appreciate it until one night at the Golden West Saloon, after tasting a sickeningly oversweet stout. I couldn't even finish it, and I asked if Mathias the bartender had any IPA so I could wash the taste out of my mouth. All I wanted was bitterness. What I got was that, plus a load of finishing hops, too. I had just drank my first BridgePort IPA, and I was in love. That's when I began to make some effort to seek out what I had been missing and sample more variety.
A Compendium of Beer
Our brief and incomplete summary of the wide world of beer
Encompassing a wide variety of beer types like bitter, India Pale Ale (IPA) and Extra Special Bitter (ESB), pale ale tends to be a considerably hopped-up British variety and can vary from light golden to dark amber in color. Ever growing in popularity, American-style IPA is hoppier and less malty than its English brethren and is thus more bitter.
Pair with: Strong, greasy foods like pizza and burgers, and fried foods like fish and chips
Wheat beers are made with ... wheat, duh. They're typically German or Belgian in origin and, much like the people of those nations, tend to be on the paler side. Sometimes these beers are flavored with exotic spices, as seen with Belgian wits. Wheat beers like hefeweizens can be served with citrus.

Liberty News
Museum greeter, longtime Liberty supporter honored for years of service
|Dave Campbell recently retired after serving as a greeter in the Jerry Falwell museum for nine years. On Nov. 1, he was honored during a special reception.
Dave Campbell is not only a familiar face to thousands who have walked through the doors at Liberty University's Jerry Falwell Museum, but he has been a mentor, recruiter, athletics booster, and trusted friend.
For the past nine years, Campbell has faithfully served as the greeter at the museum, located off the Grand Lobby of Arthur S. DeMoss Learning Center, keeping Liberty founder Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr.'s memory alive by guiding guests through the history of Falwell's life.
Campbell retired on Thursday, Nov. 1 with several of his family members, friends, and colleagues gathering in the museum to honor him for his hard work and dedication to the university.
At the celebration, Campbell said one of the most pleasant memories he is taking with him is when Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. asked him to work for the museum, a 70th birthday present to his father in 2003. Before the opening day, he called Campbell and asked him for his help.
|Campbell, a huge Flames sports fan, meets with Turner Gill, Flames football head coach.
"I told him, 'I want to do anything to keep (your) daddy's legacy going, I'll be right there," Campbell said, and started the job four days later.
Campbell, who calls Falwell, Sr. his best friend, has a deep love for Liberty and the people here. Born and raised in Lynchburg, Campbell is a WWII veteran. He worked in banking for 41 years and in the hotel business for 12 years before starting at Liberty.
Campbell's daughter, Sherry Callahan, thanked the Liberty family for the support they have given her father as an employee.
"Daddy is such a people-person. This job was perfect for him," she said.
Falwell, Jr. honored Campbell for his service to Liberty. In a letter he wrote to Campbell, he said "he has not been just an employee — he has been a friend to all who come through these doors."
"He has been our No. 1 recruiter. Many parents and students alike have made the decision to attend Liberty University because of something Dave Campbell has said," Falwell, Jr. continued.
|Campbell greets visitors during a 2008 tour in the museum.
Campbell was presented a clock as a gift.
"This represents how fast time has flown these last years and how valuable every minute of time we had with you is to us. We will miss your daily presence here but we are going to count that you will continue to give advice," Falwell said.
Terry Falwell, community liaison for the Visitor's Center and a lifetime friend of Campbell's, remembered when, as a child, he was a bat-boy and Campbell coached baseball. Their love for sports, Liberty, and each other has kept them close in life. Campbell and Terry Falwell both started the Flames Club at Liberty and attend games together.
"He really is special and it has been great for the university to have him around," Terry Falwell said.
