Harley Quinn is having a moment.
Though she's delighted comic book fans for over two decades, the villain previously known as Dr. Harleen Quinzel is officially a mainstream phenomenon. Whether or not Suicide Squad is the rousing success DC intended it to be, most fans (casual or otherwise) have taken kindly to Margot Robbie's committed portrayal. It's drawn positive responses from critics, while the recently released comic book that bears her name just sold over 400,000 copies -- beating out none other than Batman himself. That'll buy plenty of booby traps for puddin' to use on The Caped Crusader.
Initially conceived as a one-off for Batman: The Animated Series, Quinn soared to instant success in the 1990s as Joker's main squeeze. The former psychiatrist was the first Batman character to debut on television before being transferred to comic books, a medium that enabled her to wield her Looney Toon persona and tortured affection at breakneck speeds. She's a poster girl for physical abuse in comics, yet she does away with any tags of sexism through smarts and a nasty streak that could make even "Mister J" shake in his loafers. Given this penchant for crossing the line and playing by her own rules, it seems only fitting we assess the craziest moments of this DC staple.
Here are the 15 Most WTF Things Harley Quinn Has Ever Done.
15 Taking Bruce Wayne on a shopping spree
Best friends Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are bored during the holiday season, so they spice things up the only way they know how: kidnap a billionaire. The pricey gentleman in question, Bruce Wayne, is abducted with little restraint -- perks of Poison Ivy's patented toxin. The poor guy barely stands a chance, especially when cajoled into escorting these ladies on a spectacular shopping spree.
As one of three Christmas themed episodes in The New Adventures of Batman, Holiday Knights is a strange excursion. Bruce hadn't been this helpless since the days of disco-dancing Adam West, while the villainesses behind it all joyously bully him around the city. Harley and Ivy are animated chemistry opposite one another, and even when the billionaire's toxin begin to wears off, Quinn has a backup. She applies some of Ivy's backup supply and closes in on Wayne with the iconic line: "Give me some sugar, baby." It's a kiss that no Mistletoe could justify.
14 Playing Roller Derby
Roller Derby is an abrasive sport. One has to be able to out-tough the other skaters trying to knock them down-- a practice Harley Quinn is more than equipped to handle. Shown off in issue #1 of the 2014 comic Harley Quinn, the Suicide Squad member takes great joy in strapping on skates and throwing down with the other ladies in the Coney Island Roller Derby. While she doesn't exactly follow the rules, Harley gets the job done, and artist Chad Hardin goes the extra mile in bringing this frantic physical display to life.
Sporting a two tone uniform, Harley proceeds to mash a girl's face on the floor, bash two helmeted heads together, and give a nifty elbow right to the nose of some unassuming competitor. Her teammates look on in shock, unable to say little besides "OOOF!" and "OOOWW!" The absolute killer, though, just delivers a right hook that sends some poor soul's mouthpiece flying from her mouth. I guess even supervillains like to have a little recreational fun.
13 Getting Kicked out of Hell
Like most comic book characters, Harley Quinn has died a few times. The difference with this court jester, however, is that her antics landed her smack dab in Hell, where she is forced to reunite with all the henchman she's murdered over the years. Played out in Harley Quinn #20-22, the Hell and Highwater arc finds her surrounded by a bloodthirsty S.W.A.T. team, doomed to endure the same time loop of bloodshed for eternity. The kicker is that Quinn has a few aces up her sleeve, and a plan to thwart both the "police" and a bounty hunter sent to kill any who tries to escape makes for an off-kilter adventure.
Author Karl Kesel makes Quinn's vision of Hell a memorable one, complete with name-tagged bullets and a three-headed Cerberus that cleverly play off the death motifs running rampant throughout the story. Quinn, retaining her unstable cool at every turn, manages to horrify her demonic captors so much -- through love, no less -- that they decide to banish her from Hell altogether! If that's not the mark of an outcast, we're not sure what is.
12 Hitting Supergirl with a mallet
How Harley Quinn loves to swing her mallet. Unlike her pale-faced hubby, who loves to make a weapon out of almost anything, Harley has always shown a taste for massive hammers (or baseball bats) and mashed-up results. It then comes as no surprise that the daffy murderess is pretty adept at handling her choice weapon, especially when it comes to fending off fellow females Batgirl and Supergirl. As shown in issue #19 of Superman/Batman, Harley and baddie BFF Poison Ivy are forced to throw down against the good girls, allowing a chance for the court jester to pull out a mallet worthy of a Bugs Bunny short.
Incredibly, Harley manages to land a whopper of a hit on Krypton's only daughter, sending her clear into a glass window. "I gotta get me about eleventeen of these whammers," she deliriously mumbles, but Supergirl commences with the super-strength and ties Harley up. Despite this, she irately admits "I almost felt that," proving that the villainess packs one hell of a punch within her small frame. Mallet was definitely the right choice.
11 Almost Killing Joker's Daughter
Duela Dent and Harley Quinn don't get along. The former, an enigma who poses as the daughter of villains like The Joker and Harvey Dent, is even nuttier than Harley and her supposed father "Mister J." Schizophrenic and delusional, she also finds time to severely piss off every hero she encounters, from the Teen Titans to innumerable run-ins with the irate Ms. Quinn. This particular standoff occurs in Suicide Squad Vol. 1 #3, in which the two warring jokesters are forced to settle their differences for the greater good--or bad.
The truce lasts about ten seconds before they start going at it. Dent, dropping it lines like "I'm you perfected! All killer, no filler!" strikes a rotten chord within Harley, who proceeds to take things to the streets with a few solid hits and a kick right into oncoming traffic. "Stupid little girl," she muses, capping off a solid murder attempt that stops a vehicle dead in it's tracks. Duela survives, but the idea that she could ever be a better Harley Quinn is shattered quicker than that car windshield.
10 Fighting Captain Carrot
Harley Quinn and Captain Carrot squaring off in a theme park sounds like an acid trip set to comics, and thankfully, Convergence #2 pretty much reads that way too. Another unlikely pairing in the DC series, the story wastes little time establishing a universe as cartoony as its marquee characters. Harley starts things off with a squeal, taking down Pig-Iron while leaving behind a hilarious warning in oil: it's rabbit season. Not one to be intimidated, Captain Carrot accepts the challenge, though not before she fibs about her powers and proceeds to flick "acid blood" in his face.
The sheer silliness of Quinn vs. Carrot makes it a WTF brawl, hilariously highlighting the quirks that both characters bring to the table. While Carrot hops, Quinn attempts a Hadouken; he bashes in her mallet, she complains of a splinter. By story's end, the two have seemingly reconciled, but a scheming Quinn gets the last laugh when she gives Carrot one of Poison Ivy's doctored carrots. Clearly her pleas to "keep up, fuzzy butt!" fell on deaf ears.
9 Building a "Scatapult"
No, a "scatapult" in not a real thing. But that doesn't keep Harley Quinn from having one on the roof in the debut issue of her new comic series. This time, the daffy prankster has to deal with zombie attacks and mass infection, both of which do little to take away from her chipper facade. In fact, she keeps right on joking, even when number one fan Red Tool is bitten by a zombie. Her natural response, as would be the case for most weapon wielding wackos, is to proclaim "I'll save you!" while lunging towards him with a sword. Needless to say, things wind up much better for the reader than they do for Tool.
Nevertheless, Quinn's crowning silliness in the new issue has got to be the "scatapult." Knowing she needs to get an injured friend to the hospital as soon as possible, the well-meaning Quinn loads him onto a massive catapult and launches him in the direction of the nearest help. The device in and of itself sn worth laughing over, but the fact that Quinn uses it for a wounded ally makes it even better.
8 Co-creating Joker Boy
Granted, the clown prince's flair was vital, but Harley definitely did her part during this three work torture spa of mutilation, drugging, and brainwashing. That she would not only be the one to capture him, but assume half the responsibility of breaking this poor boy down is one of the more sadistic achievements Quinn has amassed over her twenty plus years. Unsurprisingly, the scene was originally censored due to it's adult implications.
7 Decapitating her "grandmother" with a chainsaw
The animated miniseries Gods and Monsters went wild with its source material. In tackling heroes like Superman and Batman, showrunners Bruce Timm and Machinima delighted in presenting a fresh approach to these time-honored staples. For the aptly titled episode Twisted, The Caped Crusader is actually Kirk Langstrom, who transforms himself into a vampire using an array of odd sciences (to many, he's also known as the Man-Bat). The fear doesn't really begin, however, until an investigation into an abandoned warehouse causes Bats to bump into a deranged Harley Quinn. Like, really deranged.
Wearing skimpier clothes than usual, this Harley has collected a basement-worth of body parts-- each of which sport a postmortem grin. She's a legit serial killer here, collecting various (preferably dead) persons to construct her own twisted family. Of course, things don't end well, and the subsequent fight causes Harley to decapitate her "grandmother" by mistake and slice herself open with a chainsaw. Langstrom caps things off by killing her and draining her blood, so there's also that.
It's a thoroughly disturbing take on the character, but one absolutely catered to a WTF collection.
6 Trying to sell her own comics
Harley Quinn has always been pretty savvy when it comes to the metatextual comic books. Occasionally, writers have gifted her the ability to break the fourth wall, and acknowledge her own legacy within the larger spectrum of DC. This 2014 miniseries, logically titled Harley Quinn Invades Comic Con International San Diego, has the daffy murderess doing just that with a bevy of her own material. Penned by Jimmy Palmiotti, this Harley doesn't necessarily address the reader directly, but there's still plenty of clever humor and tie-ins to the DC writing roster.
It's a gimmick that's definitely catered to über-fans of the franchise, as encounters with Jim Lee, Katie Kubert, and Harley creator Paul Dini might otherwise fly over the head of casual fans. That being said, the comic is still a sweet detour that pokes fun at the comic book industry; from story content to DC's own game plan. Harley tirelessly pesters publishers to get her comic book out there, but by story's end, the only thing she gets for her troubles is finding out that Jim Lee is not Stan Lee's son.
5 Having a daughter
Harley Quinn and The Joker are many things: model criminals, makeup enthusiasts, and walking proof that therapy is sometimes a detriment. One thing that doesn't come to mind for either, however, is the potential to be competent parents. The duo spend way too much time plotting against Batman to care for a tiny jester, let alone be able to supply decent living conditions; given their revolving door cell at Arkham Asylum. Despite this thoroughly bad idea, Gods Among Us: Year 2 shares a rare moment of compassion on Harley Quinn's part when she keeps from hitting a pregnant Black Canary. Her reasoning?
She remembers how hard it was, slyly opening a whole can of worms as to when and why the Quinnster decided to bear a child. As it turns out, Harley and The Joker had a daughter in the Injusticeverse. Her name is Lucy, she lives with the rest of the Quinzel clan, and likes toy cars and tutus. Joker knows nothing of her existence, as Harley decided such knowledge would only inhibit his busy schedule (real talk, Joker is one dedicated criminal). It's a special bit of tenderness on Harley's part, and proof that, while Joker may hog the spotlight, she will always be the more fleshed out villain.
4 Making Deadshot wear Joker's face
This one's a doozy. When Harley Quinn, now a member of the Suicide Squad in Vol. 4 #7, hears word of Joker's defacing and disappearance after the Detective Comics story "The Dollmaker," she decides to collect. She incites a riot at Belle Reeve Prison for a chance to escape to Gotham, where she intentionally gets arrested. There, she does a little handy work and searches the Police Department for Joker's detached face… because love, and such.
It's an unsettling setup to say the least, but things get even worse when Deadshot catches up with her and winds up tied to a chair. From there, Harley forces the Squad teammate to wear her ex-boyfriend's face over his own. She straddles Deadshot's restrained body and proceeds to call him "Mister J," before demanding to know why Joker left her alone. It's a haunting scene, both for the reader and for Deadshot, who attempts to play along before shooting her in the gut. For all the strides she's made with her new mercenary pals, Harley is still a slave to her puddin'.
3 Killing kids with video games
While she definitely has her virtues, Harley Quinn can be one sadistic cat when she wants to. Case in point, Detective Comics #23.2, which finds the leggy prankster emotionally cut off from the rest of the world. The Joker has abandoned her, as has the Suicide Squad. She's got nothing or no one to live for, and decides to provoke an air of chaos within Gotham. How does she do it? By planting a kiosk of video games in the center of the city, and giving them out for free to every kid (and adult) in sight. The dread that permeates each panel is eerily potent, showcasing a once chipper villainess gone completely cold towards her own twisted tendencies.
Author Adam Glass teases the reader to the very end of the comic, hinting at the idea that Harley won't go through with her treacherous plan. But sure enough, as she stands perched above the city, she gives the okay, and a myriad of booms dot Gotham City. Harley kills dozens of children in an instant, and all she has to say in response is a callous "so?"
2 Slitting Joker's throat
The abusive aspects of Joker and Harley's relationship has been present since its inception. The character has been beaten, berated, bullied, and shot in the head since 1992, only to take things in stride and continue to adore her "Mister J." But if human nature proves anything, it's that we can only take so much before we snap at the sight of desserts and slice our spouse's throat in the midst of a wedding celebration. Okay, maybe that's a bit too specific for everybody, but that's precisely what happens to Harley in the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us.
After defeating Superman and adding a little pep to her step, Harley breaks Joker out of prison so they can finally get married. At the reception, however, he makes the massive mistake of mashing Harley's face into the cake -- which causes her to instantly slit his throat open. Nevermind the near death afflictions, don't ever come at Harley Quinn with the intention of messing with her pastries.
1 Making Batman laugh
The folk wisdom incentive for smiling is that it takes even more muscles to frown. Batman doesn't really care. A poster boy billionaire for the well placed scowl, The Dark Knight has never been known to brandish his pearly whites -- which is precisely why this iconic incident ranks as number one. Taking place in the classic story Mad Love, Harley Quinn's comic book debut, the villainess actually manages to capture Batman for her puddin's approval. She proceeds to dangle him upside down above a piranha tank (from that perspective it looks like they're smiling), but The Joker is none too pleased with what he finds.
Explaining that she needs to get rid of him so she can live happily with her man, the Gotham guardian begins belting out a laugh that rattles Quinn to her core. In doing so, Harley indirectly does what her boy toy could (almost) never do: make Batman laugh. Granted, it's the most ominous, daunting laughter in a story arc riddled with sadistic giggles, but she pulls it off nonetheless. It's both a WTF topper and an all-time Harley Quinn moment.

October is here, the month that our lives are due to change. The month that we become actual parents. Mothers.
Up until this week I have been feeling cool as a friggin cucumber. It's only now that a little fear is starting to creep in, turning every twinge or pain that I feel into a question mark. When I wake during the night I worry that my waters are about to break if I move so I lay there nice and still. But I really need to pee so as slowly and carefully as I can I roll out of bed and gently tip toe to the bathroom as if I have any control over them breaking or not. I've been experiencing more and more braxton hicks contractions, mainly in the evening. There have been a few times where they have felt so constant that I've actually started timing them just to make sure they weren't the beginning of real contractions. It just so happens that there is an app for that – 'Don't Panic! Contraction Timer'. Hilarious.
I'm incredibly uncomfortable now, almost all the time and feel as though I require a small crane to help lift me off the couch. I waddle everywhere and constantly groan when having to bend or twist my body. There is absolutely nothing graceful about me. I still have horrible heartburn which apparently indicates that his head isn't yet engaged. He has also been practicing the rumba dance moves non stop, occasionally mixing it up with the cha cha. Given the lack of space in my belly, these movements are becoming a bit painful. Oh, and something new that has presented itself over the last week is Carpal Tunnel syndrome. I wake several times a night with pins and needles in both my hands. My fingers and wrists hurt to bend, not a little but a lot. As if i have slammed my fingers in a drawer or something. The pain eases heaps during the day but at night it flares up again. I'm told this is common in pregnancy and should disappear once the baby is born. I sure hope so!
Despite the whining tone of this blog post I actually don't complain very much, day to day, about all the pregnancy stuff. I know I'm lucky and I know this is what I wanted and hoped for. To be handed a healthy baby this month, of course I would do it all over again. So I keep that in the back of my mind and positively tell myself that there isn't long to go. Being the 1st of October, it now couldn't be more true.
We had lunch with my family over the weekend and they told us their due date predictions. My older sister thinks I'll be 3 weeks early (which is now), my younger sister thinks 2 weeks early, my Mum thinks 1 week early and my Dad thinks spot on the due date of the 19th. Candice sent out the text message below to both my sisters this morning. What a meanie.
The days here in Brisbane are getting warmer and I can't seem to wipe the smile off my face. I love Spring so much! While Candice has been at work, I have been spending a lot of time outside in the fresh air. I'm so grateful we were able to have the back deck built before the baby arrives as I imagine we will be spending many of our days out there.
I wrote a list of things to do over the the next few weeks and have slowly been working my way through it.

Top Ten Melodic Death Metal Bands from SwedenNuMetalManiak Most melodic death metal bands hail from Sweden. Not all of them though, some of them are from the U.K.
The Top Ten
Not herd this band so much honestly, but I will!
"Most melodic death metal bands hail from Sweden. Not all of them though, some of them are from the U.K."
Er... Is there any other successful melodic death metal band than Carcass?
The Jester Race speaks to itself!
Nothing special to me.
The first 3 albums were quite decent, not overwhelming but decent. With "A Predator's Portrait" and "Natural Born Chaos" they changed their sound into less heavy music. More focus on clean vocals, more Keyboards, Power Metal-esque riffs. While "A Predator's Portrait" was good and "Natural Born Chaos" was still somehow "okay" in my opinion, after that they changed into some kind of Pop-Metal band.
So in conclusion: Their earlier work was good, but nothing special, and their later work is a mixture of Pop and Metal. I don't think they should be in Top 10. - Flav
Should be number 1
Here we go serious good.
Never was a fan of melo-death. It always seemed too watered down and not very aggresive. Although these guys are an exception. - IronSabbathPriest
There is a strong hype about this band I do not understand. "Pitch Black Progress" and "Holographic Universe" were okay I guess, but still too much pop-like Choruses for me.. - Flav
Decent I guess
Slaughter Of The Souls is a classic.
Crimson, Crimson 2 and Purgatory Afterglow are true masterpieces! The Spectral Sorrows and Unorthodox are also excellent records.
Dan Swanö simply knows how to write incredible music. If you haven't heard yet, give it a try! - Flav
The Contenders
One of the best bands ever!

With this mesh of artists and commoners there exists the possibility of a transcendent one-on-one situation. Kind of like when attendee Curtis Osesik of New Jersey was plucked from of the crowd to dance onstage with A-Trak and then found himself playing Fool's Gold hype man before hanging backstage and smoking with Skrillex. Call it living the dream, Holy Ship!! style. We spoke with him.
Katie Bain Curtis Osesik
And then? He said I was going to get backstage access and a bunch of Fool's Gold swag sent to my house in Jersey. And then in an hour I'm backstage with the Fool's Gold head on [below] thinking, "I can't believe I'm about to do this." I mean, I love to dance. I don't really know how to, but when I was up there I was just thinking of music videos from YouTube and trying to bust out the Charleston and "Cotton Eye Joe" and stuff like that.
How did it feel? The rush that I had was unreal. Being backstage and meeting the artists, I mean you expect to run into them around the ship and everything, but I literally was hanging out with A-Trak, Diplo, Gary Richards and Big Gigantic back there.
Why did you have that Obama cutout? He's a very important person. I felt like it was important for him to be here with us.

Cloud Chamber
A continuous type cloud chamber is being used to study sub atomic particles. This type of chamber uses dry
ice to provide the temperature differential necessary to produce a supper saturated area in the chamber. Particles moving
through this area leave trails similar to those left by aircraft flying at high altitudes. Since a cloud chamber without a magnetic
field is like a yardstick without inch markings, I am planning a electromagnet for the chamber. Once this is complete particle
type, velocity and energy can be determined.
Geiger Counter
The detection of sub-atomic particles and radiation can be a very interesting hobby or occupation. From
looking for radioactive items around the house to studying cosmic rays, all use some form of particle detection. A Geiger
Counter provides one of the easiest methods of detection and can be used for many different applications.

Google To Debut "Physical Web Beacon" at @ThingsExpo Silicon Valley
In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Google's Scott Jenson will discuss how the Physical Web incorporates beacons that can be put in any small retail store, for example, so that every store now has "an app" for its customers.
The Physical Web is an open standard so any device can broadcast a URL wirelessly, so any phone/tablet/watch nearby can see and rank those devices. When the user taps on one, they just go to that web page. It's really that simple. It's about thinking small, enabling micro-information (what is in my prescription bottle) or micro interaction (can I buy a candy bar).
Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google.
Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices.
Scott Jenson has been at the forefront of user interface design for over 25 years. He was the first member of the User Interface group at Apple in the late 80s, working on System 7, the Apple Human Interface Guidelines and the original Newton.
Following that he was Director of Product Design for Symbian, then managed the mobile UX group at Google and was Creative Director at frog design.
Scott is now back at Google, on a quest to bridge the physical and digital worlds.
Exclusive Photo: Physical Web beacon prototype (pen for scale)
Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine.
But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.
With millions of smart devices coming in the near future, are we really going to have millions of apps? People are already "app-fatigued."
There will always be room for hero-apps like snapchat but do I really want an app for my smart suitcase?

Warning: Watching the following videos may traumatize you for life.
[Kinect Star Wars | Via]
I don't know why there's been so much hate for this. Fanboys need to lighten up and stop taking Star Wars so seriously. There's no redemption at this point so lets just roll with it and have some fun. This actually looks fun and is LMFAO hilarious! Heck if I had an XBox and Kinect I'd buy Star Wars Kinect JUST for this game mode.
I agree with Terror, What really can George do to fans worse than the JarJar…
This, he can do this.
I've seen some comments saying that with this game release, Jar Jar Binks is no longer the worst thing to come out of the Star Wars franchise. People have forgotten that Star Wars hit rock bottom with their holiday Christmas special 30 years ago. Nothing they do could possibly be worse.
there was a christmas special…? so glad i wasn't alive then
There were two. The second was so bad it never saw the light of day.
Hey, no problem guys, over the years, I've realized that Lucas was a hack and all the people that helped make a great set of movies moved on or died. So, his mask as a terrible person was out long ago, he will sell out his characters for any amount of cash, no problem. Star Wars was my first love after Star Trek, but no more…
And nothing he has done is truly Innovative…any innovations he claims were done by others under his employ.
I was looking forward to this game. Then I started seeing and hearing bad things about it, so I became unsure. Then I saw this. I'm so buying it! It looks so bad and ridiculous that it actually looks awesome!
As a starwars fanboy i actually enjoy the game, it's fun, especially with rampant alcoholism.
Most things can be potentially funny with rampant alcoholism…
There is no way Han Solo enjoys this type of music. He's a classic rock guy if ever there was one. He'd never take centre stage and dance like a wally in a club.
In fact I don't think anyone in the Star Wars universe would enjoy this.
Not to mention that the bulk of Star Wars fans who theyd hope would be paying money for this crap don't like dance music either.
However I enjoy that the names of dance moves are things like 'trash compactor' and 'wookiee hug'.
I think they're all leaving positive or otherwise noncritical comments just to be contrary, as we nerds always seem to gravitate towards that. It's a hilarious phenomenon, really. :P
My daughter watched this and danced her butt off so I gotta show love
meeeeeh… they should have put the songs from the group of jabba the hutt… I was waiting for that
How one can not like this in a humorous way ?
tHATS THE WAY YOU LOOSE RESPECT FOR A LEGEND [SOLO].
I appreciate the dislike of the new game.
I absolutely detest the use of the word rape in the headline. Get a grip, please, and don't be another site that mis-uses this word.
will you people shut up plese star wars has so far been epic and will be ..god!!!!!!!!

Everyone has been very dear to ask whether we were able to find all the needed ingredients for our first Thanksgiving abroad. I was admittedly a bit smug in my response because we found Whole Foods in Kensington would deliver an entire dinner to our flat! Fantastic. Days of thawing, brining, and more advanced cooking in Celsius than we were ready to tackle could be swiped off the calendar as easily as they'd run our VISA card. I was so busy proselytizing about such luxuries to every American I knew that I neglected to read the details of the brochure.
So while the Mister walked the kids to school, Baby Sister and I whipped up desserts. Then the 3 of us (strange to have 2 big people to 1 small) went to St. Paul's Cathedral for an amazing Thanksgiving service. It was inspiring to sing "America the Beautiful" with thousands of Americans so far from home. (I held Baby Sister's face up to mine, hoping to see glimmers of recognition of a familiar tune only to realize she'd decided to take a nap.)
Later, with the big kids gathered from school, we awaited the dinner delivery. And waited some more while we put off countless requests for snacks. Then after frantic emailing and phone calls, our lovely dinner arrived 45 minutes late but in a gloriously stuffed box filled with oodles of side dishes that would nicely complement the pie, brownies, muffins, and chocolate lollies we were taking to our friends' after dinner. This bounty included a 6-7 kilogram turkey. Which needed to be baked for 4 hours. Or so.
A bit of angst ensued. We made a quick sannie dinner, piled desserts, smalls and pilgrim hats into a cab and found humor over more pie and wine with a girlfriend I've known for about 30 years. Good cheer filled her flat along with family and friends. The china went back to the sideboard* for a few days and I left the tablecloth and centrepiece in place. Dinner will be served on Saturday. We will now quit looking down our noses at our friends who planned to do that all along. Thanksgiving continues again on Tuesday when the ladies are coming for coffee. THEN I will let Brothers decorate for Christmas.
Before all that though, this afternoon will find Baby Sister and me in Big Sister's classroom wearing pilgrim hats, reading Thanksgiving books, passing around a tray of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and gently explaining to 30 sweet British children that it all began when folks left this lovely island.
*and about that sideboard. I know JUST what you're thinking: "She is so grown up." I KNOW. Pinch me.

Discovering the story, and painting it along the way
For quite a long time after I completed a painting, I would just post it to the website gallery, on the blog as an image only, and then move on. After a while I began to add a quote that I felt went along with the "theme".
However, behind the scenes there was always an adventure, a path of life experiences leading up to the completion of each painting. These experiences are a part of the painting process, along with experimenting, and discovering new painting techniques to accomplish a texture, colour, or light.
And the discovery of what it is I am painting and why…the story of the image and understanding life through the creation of the painting.
Stage One; An image of a Lion popped into my head and I wondered how in the world I was going to paint all of that fur! I also wondered why I was going to paint a lion. At that time, only a part of the greater image of the painting would arrive in my mind. Never the entire image. I began painting the lion. I found that if I painted a wash of colour and then scratched the paint, it would create a nice look for the fur.
Stage Two; By adding more washes, and scratching them with different degrees of pressure, some of the scratches maintained the wash underneath, creating an interplay of light, tint, and texture.
Stage Three; More washes of the deepest contrast were applied in specific areas, as well as some additional texture with a bristle brush.Then using an opaque cream colour, and a fine brush, I added the highlighted whiskers and hair around the face and random areas.
As the lion reached this third stage the "setting" for the background of the image came into my mind. This was an older type of subway system with brick walls. Personally, I had been listening to, and observing life around me, and all of the changes that have been happening so rapidly worldwide for all of us. Issues with lifestyle, belief, religion, and who's right and wrong were escalating. I realized that the unconscious norms of society about "how to live life" were rapidly leaving, and leaving many at an emotional, economical, and spiritual loss, escalating an inner feeling of confusion, depression, despair, and mistrust.
So what is left to one and all in these highly charged, and rapidly, changing times? Perhaps the mode of "follow the leader" is failing completely, and each person must now look within themselves, and find what is true for them.
I painted the rucksack, symbolizing that from the moment you were born, all of the tools and skills you needed in this lifetime came with you. As a very wise and funny friend of mine says, "sometimes, you need to remember when and where you left your backpack."
I painted the candle for the light within each of us that is illuminating our way, especially in the dark.
The clock symbolizes time, in that the time is now, living someone else's plan for you and remaining un-true to yourself is over for everyone, and this is the discomfort, the "shake-up."
I painted a compass to represent that although we may not trust it, we each know what direction is our own, and the world map, represents a reminder to be open to all possibilities, and that maybe our own path is not just one place, but many places along the way.
The young girl symbolizes the innocent child of the universe in each one of us, and through this part of ourselves, this goodness is available, by simply asking.
As I put the finishing touches on the Lion, this powerful, protective creature of grace and strength, I came full circle with my experience of the painting, and the present moment in my own life. The Lion represents the Creator, the God or whatever you choose, that beats your own heart, no matter what name the Creator is given in any culture or belief system. Present when we are confused, present when we stamp our feet and demand the whole "story" before we try, always present, always there watching over our individual path, custom designed for each and every one of us, with offering us what we need to know each step of the way when we choose to ask and listen. When we ask, when we follow our own truth, we are each a pathfinder of our own story.
Sometimes we bump into other people's stories, but that is a different painting!
This is the "The Pathfinder"
Thank you

Kibale is the best park destination in East Africa for hiking with the Chimpanzees up close and much more.
Bigodi Wetlands Sanctuary – Jungle Swamp Hike:
Bigodi Wetlands is one of the few Jungle Swamp in East Africa. It is where the Central African Jungle spills into East Africa.
Much of the hike is taken on boardwalk like structure. It is a Birder's paradise – a primate lover's dreams.
During the afternoon on your hike you will often spot chimpanzees and about 5 other primates, hundreds of birds, otters, antelopes, bush pigs and more.
What is most stunning about Bigodi Wetlands Sanctuary is the vegetation that you find here, from the palm trees to the papyrus reeds that are found there, it definitely feels like a jungle swamp.

The hike takes moderate effort and can be done by most with little effort on their part, except in some of the steeper sections.
Amabere Caves and Crater Lakes Hikes:
The Amabere Caves – actually a giant overhang are a place of local legends, myths, and natural wonders. The hike to the caves is actually short, but often slippery. You are led by a local guide who take you through the jungle trail leading to the caves, while there explain to you their place in local culture.

Bo Hardy started the game as a safety. He ended the game as the Ohio leading rusher and likely the running back the team will utilize moving forward.
The move to offense wasn't by choice. While Ohio comfortably cruised past Gardner-Webb 37-21 on Saturday afternoon at Peden Stadium, running back woes only grew and left Frank Solich bleakly staring ahead in the press conference.
"Probably not," he said about a having a position so depleted so quickly in his coaching career. "Probably not after four games. It's just an oddity."
It's an oddity that needs a solution. (continue reading here)

M. Stern designed a striking Shingle Style house for a Boston family. It stands at the tip of a peninsula that extends two and a half miles into the bay, with incomparable views in all directions. The low rise it sits upon is, in fact, the bunker of a World War II U.S. Navy surveillance station that remains buried on the site. (October 2008)PinterestPhoto: Dan Forer2/13"It's Miami Modern with subtle Art Déco features," architect Robert M. Swedroe says of the house he shares with his wife, Rita, on Biscaya Island, in Florida, which he renovated. With its cantilevered decks, long railings and porthole windows, it has the look of a 1930s ocean liner. (February 2007)PinterestPhoto: Peter Aaron/Esto3/13Architect Robert A. M. Stern designed a three-story beach cottage for Robert and Lisa Nesbitt in Seaside, Florida. Since high dunes block an ocean view from the first floor, Stern created an upside-down house that reverses the usual placement of rooms to give the public areas a better view. (April 2008)PinterestPhoto: Michael Moran4/13"It's modern but with a substantial quality; it's not slick," architect Alexander Gorlin says of a beach house he designed in the Hamptons. "It needed a presence to it that would stand up to the ocean." The 12,000-square-foot edifice seems to float weightlessly between the sky and water. As Gorlin puts it, "You pay the mighty ocean the humble compliment of extreme simplicity." (October 2009)PinterestPhoto: Ken Hayden5/13In the late 1990s Paul and Trudy Cejas began building an Italian villa at Indian Creek Village in Florida; however, initial construction was put on hold when he was made American ambassador to Belgium in 1998. Upon their return, the Cejases hired architectural designer Joe Brennan and designer Axel Vervoordt, who they had met overseas, to finish their Miami villa. Pictured: The waterfront terrace, furnished with casual wicker pieces, is off the sunroom. (December 2005)PinterestPhoto: Paul Warchol6/13A New York couple commissioned Barnes Coy Architects to design a retreat for their waterfront property in East Hampton. Living in the Hamptons can be a precarious balance between exposure and escape, social networking and intimate downtime. The house maximizes its site with an unusual clamshell plan that serves as both a sheltering device and a kind of architectural viewfinder, open to the water and sky while still being protective and private. The house's crescent-shaped design offers a sequence of views from different platforms, positions and carefully managed sight lines. "Every room sets up a beautiful picture," says one of the owners. (October 2008)PinterestPhoto: Mary E. Nichols7/13Inspired by the architecture of southern Spain, interior designer Michael Lee transformed a Malibu, California, beach house once owned by Mary Astor into a stunning waterfront retreat. "My beach houses before were right on the sand, and you could only use so many antiques, but here I felt like I could get all my things out of the warehouse," says Lee. Still, it is a beach house, and indoors and out it makes the most of its spectacular setting. (May 2009)PinterestPhoto: Scott Frances8/13Interior designer Alexa Hampton was commissioned to redecorate a 4,500-square-foot Francis Fleetwood-designed Shingle Style residence on Long Island's South Fork. Situated atop a ridge with sweeping views of the Atlantic, the house, built in 1992, is a short stroll from its own beach. (July 2007)PinterestPhoto: Tim Street-Porter9/13"When we walked into the house, we were so overwhelmed by the view," Diane Kahan says of the 5,000-square-foot Malibu residence that she and her husband, Jim, now call their beach house. Architect Ron Goldman reinvigorated the street façade, above, by angling and adding windows to the stucco wall and elongating the curved window of the stairwell corridor. The main attraction, however, will always be right outside the rear windows. "We still go crazy when the dolphins go by," confides Jim Kahan. (March 2010)PinterestPhoto: Peter Aaron/Esto10/13"You can see the trade winds coming toward you across the surface of the ocean," says architect Thomas A. Kligerman, of Ike Kligerman Barkley, who incorporated a romanticized Hawaiian aesthetic into the Maui retreat of film director-producer Richard Donner and his wife, producer Lauren Shuler Donner. The couple wanted a place where they could "come in with sand on their feet," says Kligerman, so he installed stone floors that flow out to a lanai. (November 2008)PinterestPhoto: Erhard Pfeiffer11/13An oceanfront concrete, steel and glass house near San Diego was designed by Wallace E. Cunningham to make the most of an intimate site. "The first thing we did when my clients bought the property was to climb onto the roof of the run-down single-story house that was there and see what we could see," explains Cunningham. "The view was everything," he remembers from that exploratory visit. "To get that view corridor, we designed the house upside down, with all the principal rooms—the kitchen, the living and dining areas and the master bedroom—on the highest level." (April 2005)PinterestPhoto: Erhard Pfeiffer12/13Architect Marc Appleton and associate Paul Williger reimagined a Spanish-style Santa Monica, California, house for Michael and Danielle Braverman. The architects took out the walls separating the kitchen and the dining and living rooms and raised the ceiling three and a half feet to create "one big great room with arched openings looking out to the pool and the beach," he notes. Pictured: The pool courtyard, complete with a futon and a freestanding fireplace, "extends the whole living space," notes Williger. A window-like opening and large gate connect it to the beach.

La Jolla, CA – Charles L. Stanley CFP® ChFC AIF® with Oncubic, LLC is offering free portfolio reviews to investors who have recently been laid off and need to roll-over assets from their old employer's retirement plan to their own IRA Rollover to help them know where to allocate their portfolios in 2009.
After one of the three worst bear markets in modern times, investors are very concerned about their investments. Since the final bear market of the Great Depression that ended in April 1938, there have only been three other bear markets where the S&P 500 Index declined more than 30%: The Oil Embargo Crash of 1973-1974, The Dot-Com Bust of 2000 – 2002, and our current market. This environment has people wondering and that's why I'd like to help them increase their potential for success when this market turns around, which I believe it will.
I will evaluate investors' portfolios and give suggestions based on the individual's situation. I will help investors diversify their portfolios and position them in the strongest asset classes that historically recover the best following a major downturn of 30% or more. This service is provided with no obligation to investors.
Some say the markets have followed their historical election pattern. The difference this time is the breadth and magnitude of the decline. This year's decline was the worst to ever precede an election. In my opinion the election had little if anything to do with this downturn. There is no one who knows with any certainty if we will have a strong year in the markets in 2009 or if the recovery will come later. We do know what asset classes have had a significantly increased premium following this kind of major downturn. That's why I'd like to help investors position themselves in those areas that have traditionally performed best when the market turns positive.

Violence in Iraq has killed more than 500 people this month, Agence France-Presse figures showed yesterday, as authorities struggled to contain a wave of unrest that has raised fears of new sectarian conflict.
And the UN envoy to Iraq urged the country's leaders to meet to resolve long-running political crises that have paralyzed the government and been linked to its inability to reduce the violence.
As of Monday, 503 people had been killed and 1,273 wounded, making this month the deadliest month in at least a year, according to the data, based on reports from security and medical officials.
This month is the second month in a row in which more than 400 people have been killed, for a total exceeding 960 people in less than two months.
A wave of attacks, including bombings in Baghdad that mainly targeted Shiite areas, killed 58 people on Monday and wounded 187, officials said.
"I once again urge all Iraqi leaders to do everything possible to protect Iraqi civilians. It is their responsibility to stop the bloodshed now," UN envoy Martin Kobler said in a statement yesterday.
"It is the politicians' responsibility to act immediately and to engage in dialogue to resolve the political impasse and not let terrorists benefit from their political differences," he said.
Meanwhile, the US embassy issued a statement in which it said it "strongly condemns the wave of bombings," expressing condolences to the victims.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Monday's bombings, but they bore the hallmarks of al-Qaeda's Iraqi arm. The group, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, frequently uses car bombs and coordinated blasts against Shiites to undermine Iraqis' confidence in the government.
The day's deadliest attack happened when two bombs exploded in the eastern Habibiya area on the edge of the sprawling Shiite district of Sadr City. Those blasts killed 12 and wounded 35, police said. Twin blasts also struck an open-air market in the predominantly Shiite al-Maalif area, killing six.
Another car bomb exploded in the busy commercial Sadoun Street in downtown Baghdad. It killed five civilians and wounded 14, police said. Among the wounded were four policemen.
A car bomb went off in the eastern New Baghdad area as officers were waiting for explosives experts to dismantle it. A civilian was killed and nine others wounded.
A blast in the Sabi al-Boor neighborhood in the north killed eight civilians and wounded 26. In the Kazimiyah district, a car bomb blew up near a bus and taxi stop, killing four and wounding 11.

There is a parable, found in cultures across the world, that describes Heaven and Hell as almost identical locales: in both, great tables are laden with a bountiful feast, but the only utensils available are unnaturally long spoons. In Hell, the diners find it impossible to lift food to their own mouths with such unwieldy tools, and they suffer perpetual starvation. In Heaven, the diners use the spoons to feed one another across the table and are eternally sated.
On a warm evening not too long ago, at the resplendent grounds of the Montalvo Arts Center, in northern California, a group of guests arrived for an exclusive dinner party, and found themselves in a similar scenario: Faced with a fantastical meal and bizarre cutlery, would they choose to spend an evening in Heaven or in Hell?
The meal in question, chronicled in the short film above, is a production by the Dutch creative collective Steinbeisser, whose "Experimental Gastronomy" project orchestrates collaborations between chefs and artists. The renowned Bay Area chefs David Kinch, Corey Lee, and Daniel Patterson were challenged to create seven courses for sixty guests using only local, biodynamic, and vegan ingredients. Far more challenging, they were asked to plate and serve their meals using avant-garde tableware created by twelve artists with the specific goal of confounding chef and diner alike. Among the artists was the Oakland-based Julian Watts, an enigmatic woodworker whose corporeal pieces are at once beautiful and grotesque, with a winking dash of obscenity that might inspire amusement or discomfort—perhaps both in the same bite. The result was a surreal evening, as dining etiquette dissolved into laughter, group problem-solving, and a newfound sense of community—an awkwardly long spoonful of Heaven on Earth.

After the massive storm the week before we flew to Geneva, we booked our first skiing in the Monterosa region of Italy.
But then a storm was predicted for our first weekend, so we moved the Monterosa dates to Jan. 22-24 and went to the Dolomites first.
The nicest weather days, calm with spotless clear skies, were Tuesday and Wednesday, our last day in the Dolomites and first day in Monterosa. We stayed in Grosseney for its location in the central of the three valleys linked in the Monterosa ski network. The western valley Champoluc has the biggest lodging base and the best piste skiing. Alagna has the off piste reputation and is in fact the first of these areas Liz or I knew about, in my case because Extremely Canadian ran a trip there a few times.
So with a short visit we hired Stefan of Guide Alpine di Grosseney http://www.guidemonterosa.info/index_e.asp for our first day and headed for Alagna. Alagna as one can see from the map has a minimalist piste network of basically one per lift, though the vertical is huge, from 4,000 – 9,740 feet. We started with a long but gravity traverse overlooking a large summer refugio.
Our objective was this shaded bowl skier's right of the V3 piste.
From the map you can see that there is a lot of sunny exposure in the Monterosa, but this bowl was completely shaded by the towering walls above.
The other issue up high was the extensive wind hammering over the prior weekend. There was a lot of sastrugi but Stefan knew where to traverse across it to smooth lines of windbuff. We worked several of these lines until the good snow ran out. This was due to the last storm raining to 6,500 feet. So we had to exit through some ugly rain crust, reaching the piste at 5,700.
We finally reached the town of Alagna at 4,000.
Alagna is the most rustic and least touristy of the 3 valleys. However most of the 30 mile long Grosseney Valley below the ski lifts is quite similar, with a lot of stone buildings hundreds of years old.
We rode 3 lifts up to 9,700 and took a short step-up to La Balma. Stefan and Liz skiing the top wide couloir entry:
The wrap around mountains sheltered La Balma from the wind more than other areas we skied.
This was 2,000 vertical of smooth windbuff.
The exit traverse was long with several step-up sections though.
Ahead you can see the saddle we must cross over.
You can see lift towers coming up from lower left to upper right. That lift has been gone for a decade and there is only vague talk about replacing it. It would allow fall line skiing to its loading station around 7,000 feet. The La Balma drainage goes all the way down to Alagna, but Stefan knew not to do that with that rain line at 6,500.
In the picture above is also the decommissioned original Indren tram station. It has been replaced by a better located new one that we rode for our next two runs.
From the Col d'Olen dividing the Alagna and Grosseney drainages, here's the view down the gondola coming up from Grosseney.
The Indren tram rises to 10,700 feet. All of its skiing is off-piste and you are required to use your transceiver to open the exit door. The upper part of Indren is wide open and mellow, easy to find the smooth lines. This is south facing but it was all winter snow as it's January and not too steep.
View back up of that section:
Note that below the highest peak in view there is some glacial ice.
We next skied the Canale Grande couloir.
This was steeper and SE facing so in ideal corn mode at 2:30PM.
View back up to Canale Grande:
There's a long but scenic exit trail back to the Gabiet gondola mid-station.
Liz was fatigued and so did the last run on piste. Stefan and I returned to Indren to ski the narrower Canale dell'Aquila. The upper approach had smooth windbuff.
Soon the entry comes into view.
Stefan took pictures of me skiing Canale dell'Aquila.
At 3:30PM this couloir was in the shade and a bit crunchy.
In this view from the gondola at 10:30AM both couloirs are in full sun.
Canale Grande is at left and Canale dell'Aquila at right. From the pictures of me skiing you can tell the latter run is not as narrow as it looks from afar. Liz enjoyed it the next morning when she was better rested.
We regrouped at Gabiet and skied down to the Ellex Hotel where we were staying. Vertical was 17,800, some of it quite hard earned.
James tends to avoid the massive Euro complexes like the Dolomites where we had spent the prior 4 days. But the Monterosa is his kind of place.

The information contained here should be used as a tool for all students and teachers to prepare themselves for a visit to a ski area. They should study this material and be familiar with all ski area signage such as levels of difficulty for trails and terrain parks, caution and warning signs, as well as lift loading and unloading. Students should also be aware of expected skier/rider etiquette, proper clothing to wear and what to do if someone gets hurt.
A school trip to a ski area is exciting and fun, however, there are certain rules that must be followed. These rules are detailed in the Alpine Responsibility Code. This code of conduct for skiers/riders. The goal of the Alpine Responsibility Code is to assist in the prevention of accidents and in the creation of a safer and more pleasant skiing environment.

Canine Liver Disease Diet – What To Give To My Dog?
Your dog's liver functions much like your own; it carries out the same tasks, carries out these tasks in a similar manner, and has a similar structure. Because of this, we have a wealth of information on identifying and treating liver problems in dogs. Testing to detect elevated liver enzymes in dogs is the most common way to test for liver problems. Once a liver problem has been found, the best form of treatment usually comes in the form of a balanced canine liver disease diet. There are a few dog food brands that make foods designed specifically to treat liver issues.
Where to Start
The most popular foods among vets for the treatment of liver disease in dogs are available only by a prescription from your vet. These foods focus on easy to digest proteins, lowered copper intake, and lowered sodium intake. These are all the crucial elements of a proper canine liver disease diet.
Copper can accumulate in a damaged liver, so cutting this mineral out as much as possible is very important. Most important of all, though, is making sure your dog receives a controlled amount of easily digested proteins, vegetable proteins are the most common way to relieve strain on the liver. Keeping a close eye on overall food intake is also necessary for maintaining a proper weight for your dog, and avoiding liver cancer in dogs with liver problems. Another major factor in a proper canine liver disease diet is lowered sodium intake. Just as in humans, high sodium intake can cause hypertension in dogs. Portal hypertension is the main sodium problem in dogs with liver problems. This is raised blood pressure in the main vessel (the portal vein) that carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen into the liver.
Asking your vet for these types of food should be your first step in creating a proper liver disease diet for your dog. Also, when buying treats and snacks for your dog, make sure you read the ingredients list and nutrition facts. This can help you closely monitor your dog's diet. Keeping an eye on your pet's liver functions with frequent testing at the vet is the best way to be sure your canine liver disease diet is working, or what you need to do to make it work.

Crowdsourcing – Exploitation or Collaboration? (AFF-601)
In a previous post discussing the Letters of 1916 Project, I broadly considered the means by which that project, a public history project, garnered its database of letters and transcriptions: crowdsourcing. The topic itself appears to be a many-faceted one; does it, as a practice, promote a sense of community? Is this communal sense of preservation more important than the scholarly preservation that happens as a consequence of the former? Is crowdsourcing, in essence, purely a means to a scholarly end; an exploitation of the public by academics? This blog post will explore and argue these questions with the aim of creating a better understanding of crowdsourcing as a practice in public history projects.

Within the Digital Humanities, cultural preservation undoubtedly is one of the focal points of the field. When a piece of history is digitised or recorded and presented to a larger community, it takes on a new role. It becomes a part of a public consciousness in how it is preserved and presented.

The Power of the Image: Non-Photorealistic Rendering (AFF-622)
The Aesthetics of Stylisation
This blog entry is the second in a series of posts dealing with the Power of the Image, more specifically on the use of non-realistic rendering in Digital Heritage. In my last post I dealt with the concept of photorealism in Digital Heritage; specifically how we approach and interpret this idea and apply it to digital methodologies, whatever they may be. It stands to reason then that the opposite end of the spectrum should be explored.

Portable Underwater Photographic Tripod for Coral-Reef Studies
A newly designed underwater tripod was developed to more easily photograph and study the movement of sediment in coral-reef habitats, regardless of sea-floor roughness or slope. The basic design parameters were portability, light weight, and easily adjustable arms and legs for onsite configuration. These qualities give coral-reef scientists freedom to move the tripod or adjust the housing components for optimum results over a wide variety of bottom morphologies. The tripod also had to be robust, so as to withstand long-term deployments during large storm events and precarious positioning on the seabed.
The framework of the new tripod is composed predominantly of anodized aluminum plate and tubing to resist corrosion by seawater, off-the-shelf Speed-Rail fittings to enable a wide variety of configurations, and customized adjustable brackets. The Speed-Rail fittings and customized brackets allow the camera and strobe housings to be shifted up and down and side to side and rotated in vertical and horizontal planes to capture exactly the desired view. Pad eyes (metal pads with holes through which a shackle can be put) are welded at numerous spots on the frame so that it can be secured firmly to the seabed with sand anchorslarge metal spirals that are screwed 3 to 4 ft down into the sea-floor sediment. Guy lines are connected to the electronic housings to minimize vibrations caused by underwater currents and wave surge.
The tripod was first deployed last summer for 3 months near the Hanalei River outlet on the Island of Kauai in Hawaiʻi. Divers positioned the tripod near a coral colony at a water depth of about 10 m. A concrete block painted with gridlines, used both for scale and for detecting evidence of sedimentation, was positioned almost vertically within the camera's view. The system's electronics included a Canon 20D high-resolution digital still camera with intervalometer (for time-lapse photography), electronic strobe, and battery pack. The camera was set to take a photograph every 4 hours. The system operated successfully for the entire 3-month deployment, collecting more than 575 images. An image obtained early in the study shows the water as calm and clear, with no accumulated sediment on the block or turbidity in the water column. A second image taken 1 week later, however, shows turbid water and an accumulation of sediment on the block. A photograph taken by a diver just before recovery of the instrument shows biofouling by algae and other organisms that have accumulated on the system's components.
