Today, we're going to review part number 56146KIT. This is the Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Power Converter with the wiring kit. This kit will include everything shown here on the table. It includes the circuit protected taillight converter. It is a power converter. It includes the wiring kit, and it'll even include a circuit tester to help you find the correct wires behind your vehicle taillights to connect this all to. This will adapt separate turn and stop lights which are on the vehicle it's usually a 3-wire system to a trailer that usually has a 2-wire system.
This will work with domestic and import vehicles. It'll virtually eliminate any draw on your vehicle taillight circuit. There is no heavy duty flasher required when using this. Now, this converter is battery-powered. You run the wire to your battery.
It is also circuit-protected. It does use the surface mount technology. Now, this will work with vehicles that have LED taillights, and it will work with trailers that have LED taillights. It does include everything shown here on the table. Basically, this converter, you notice it has a length of wire, usually about 58 inches long. Then it has a 4-way on the end of it.
This is what'll run out the back of your vehicle to plug into your trailer, and it will include this dust cover, which you'll be able to just install over there, so when you're not using the 4-way, what you can basically do is just pop this cover on it, and it protects the terminals from any damage and from the elements. It will come with this piece of 2-way tape, or two-face . double-sided tape that you can just put on here to attach your converter to a place so it doesn't move around. Then your wiring, you'll notice, it comes with the 4 quick-splice connectors for connecting your wires, and it comes with some cable ties to take up any slack in your wiring. Basically, this set of wires, it has the red, yellow, brown, and white. You run this to the driver side.
The white would be your ground, so you can use the included ground screw to ground it. The others would be tapped into your circuit, and then you run the green wire over to your passenger side, and that would be tapped into your passenger side taillights. The extra black wire is the power wire that would need to run to your battery to power this converter. The way you would connect that is you take your length of wire right here, and you'll take one of your butt connectors. Attach it to this power wire and then run it to the end of one of this wires here. Then you'll run this length of wire it's about 20 feet of wire they give you run this up to the front towards the battery. You don't want to connect this to the battery directly. What you want to do is put another butt connector on here. Then you'll connect the in-line fuse holder to this. Then on the other end of the in-line fuse holder, you'll take this ring connector and put it on there, and then this would connect to the positive side of your battery. Then before you use your wiring harness, what you want to do is open the in-line fuse holder. Take the included 10 amp fuse. Go ahead and install that into the fuse holder. Put your cap on there, and then you'd be all ready to go. Again, we mentioned it includes the circuit tester. What that's for is when you go to hook up these wires to your wiring harness, you want to use this circuit tester to test it, to make sure you're connecting up the right wires. That should do it for the review on part number 56146KIT. This is the Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Power Converter with the wiring kit. .

Installing this kit in my 2010 Jetta Sportwagen (TDI) was not as easy as I hoped, but ultimately I was able to pull it off. I would have had much less confidence without the video. Routing the power wire from the spare tire well to the battery was the most time consuming part of the install. In the end the power wire ended up being juuuuuust the right length, but I used every inch of it. For most of the run I was able to rest the wire above various pieces of plastic splashguard (while still using plenty of zip ties), so it has some extra protection from the elements. Getting all the quick-connect splices done for the driver's side lights was tough. I didn't quite understand why in the video they didn't just feed the wires for the passenger side blinker, ground, and power from the lights to the trunk, which would put the converter box where it needs to be from the very start. Instead they recommend feeding the wires the opposite direction—from the trunk to the lights—and then you have to cram the converter box through the trim piece that has not been removed after connections are made. I did it that way too, thinking that maybe things would be less cluttered during the critical splicing step. It worked out okay, but if I did it again I'd probably do as I described and avoid having to shove the converter box through the trim. When I did that, one of the pieces of trim hardware popped off and disappeared somewhere below. One step I recommend adding whichever way you do it would be to peel the white ground wire away from the three it's attached to before feeding things from the trunk to the driver's side lights (or whichever direction you choose), which allows you to more easily connect the ground. As for the three splices on the driver's side, there is no play in the wires, the trim wants to spring back closed all the while, and for a regular two-handed guy who doesn't have much experience with DC wiring it was tricky. I did get all the connections made in the end, and I'm getting the right signals and voltage on all the connectors. I'm sure the video saved me hours and helped me avoid a lot of mistakes. 132574

So I missed the part about mounting the electronic pak on the driver's side. The wire for the passenger side signal is about 6 feet longer than the rest because it needs to reach over there. Don't make my mistake and mount the kit on the passenger side. It was a very simple and sweet installation, everything you need is in the kit and it fits almost anywhere behind the driver's side tail light. The installation video wants you to run the power wire outside and under the car--don't do that. I have an '05 civic and I popped the door channel trims and ran the power wire from the trunk thru the door channels and up behind the glove box. I used a sharpened coat hanger wire to carefully pierce the rubber grommet that surrounds the wire bundle from the ECU, gaining access to the engine bay just behind the steering rack on the passenger side. The battery is just forward of the strut tower from there and its easy to secure the new power wire. The kit works like a charm and its invisible with the wire tucked under the spare tire area. 135720
Its worked really well since I installed it. I tuck the cable under the carpet when not used and you never think about itvery nice when using the trailer though.Twainer - 06/16/2015

I bought this to install on our 2005 Subaru Legacy. The installation was pretty easy. The videos here on the website were very helpful to explain the installation process, as were the instructions that came with the harness kit. The harness just connects to the wiring for the tail lights on the back of the car and then you have to connect the control box to the battery, as well as the ground wire. The kit seems to be made very well. The blue splicing connectors are very easy to use and the circuit testor that came with the kit was quite useful. 142916
It has worked great. No problems. Its still going strong. We drove cross country to California and it worked just fine.David S - 07/25/2015

Wow....not an easy project for the Cadillac SRX. You have to do a lot of disassembly in the back to get to the wires and then try to get to the nuts holding the lights...good times. The directions were pretty good until I got to how to wire it up. Do I splice the wire, how does this work? Didn't know so I quit and put the components back together. Started at 8am and quit at 11am and I didn't even get the wiring hooked up. After I got it all put back together, I got a call from Tech Support telling me the wires don't get cut rather the blue splice connectors (splicing got me) are there for you to just put the wire in and crimp it down. I'd change that name and call them wire run-throughs or power connectors. When you say splice, I think I need to splice the wire. Good thing I didn't and quit. You should give yourself all day to get this project done if you haven't done one of these before. I have hooked up wiring on a dodge ram, pacifica and chevy silverado and were dead simple. This is not. A smart engineer out there needs to come up with an adapter that would use the plug from the taillight and allow the user to unplug the taillight, plug into the adapter and the adapter into the light. I think if you complete this project, you should get some kind of degree from ITT for wiring. 132100

I purchased this unit for my solara 05' and works very well. if you know how to locate your existing source of signals your fine. I mounted the control behind the plastic trim just inside the trunk where there were plenty of room. locating the turn signal wires and brake signals was not so bad. the contol was identifed very well for wire color and what it did. you pick up a completely seperate main power source from battery so you dont burden your existing circuits or fuses. I routed the hot wire under my car with the fuel lines which made it simple, used a spare tubing path that was empty. I get full lights, bright and worked first try. 89658
Its great, I am planning on putting another one on my old bronco as well.Greg H - 07/22/2014

The kit arrived with everything one would need to do an OK installation, provided your car was only two feet wide. The signal input wire for the right turn signal was very, very short. So short that I had to solder in a two foot extension to get it to reach accross my VW Golf (Mk6). The power wire was significantly larger than the unit's power wire and the fuse holder to which it must connect, it also came with butt connectors and no heat shrink or tape for strain relief. I ended up soldering and heatshrinking all power connection because it's just not worth having a hot wire flopping around the car to save me 5 minutes of work. Butt connectors fail. Always. I got this kit because it was half the price of comparable kits (still a ridiculous price for $3.72 worth of transistors and diodes), so I knew it would take some extra work. So far, I got what I paid for, nothing unexpected. Serviceable. 100412
by: Steve W.08/27/2014
Product worked fine. The Right Rear turn signal lead wire was approx. 4' too short. FYI, for my 2013 Ford CMAX, the 12volt battery is in the rear, and not in the front of the vehicle. Therefore I didn't need all the Black Power wire that was provided. 148858
Great product. Easy to install, and reliable. It appears that from the reviews a little more wire length would satisfy a lot of your customers.Steve W - 08/31/2015
by: John H.07/08/2014
The wiring kit worked perfectly. Our tech was looking for one for our service van and mentioned he couldn't find one that was compatible to the Sprinter. I told him I would check etrailer.com and they had several choices. Same experience every time. I highly recommend etrailer.com. 139912
We are still pleased with the product! Thanks for the follow up.John H - 07/09/2015

I bought this item to put on a 2003 land rover discovery II. Land rovers are notorious for adding things like this on. Thru the dealer it would have been well over $200.00. Product works well and had all the necessary parts for installation. My one point of advice if installing on a land rover is the ground. After installing per direction the unit failed to work and after talking with Bill in tech advice we both agreed it was the ground. The unit comes with a self starting sheet metal screw to ground it. Since you have to run the hot wire all the way up to the battery save yourself some time and just run a ground wire at the same time. Customer service and tech services were above and beyond and I would certainly buy here again as well as recommend. 152129

I installed this circuit isolating wiring module on my 2005 Mercedes ML500 this afternoon. I chose this module after watching the etrailer YouTube video of the installation in a 2003 ML350. For me the most time consuming part of the installation was routing the black power wire from the battery positive terminal to the module. I started at the battery, routed the wire across the engine bay at the top of the firewall and found it easier to route the wire down then back to the module. It took me a little longer because I didn't jack up the SUV. It's tight but there's room to safely route the wire up and out of harms way without lifting the vehicle. All in all I'd have to call this a very, very simple installation. 192280

I had this installed on my 2013 prius plugin hybrid by uhaul. It works. Though your support personel told me that you do not have a kit for the plugin hybrid. That was confusing since i found this one with a very specific google search and ordered it. When i started to follow the video instructions, i quickly ran amuck, right after removing the rug. That is when i took it to uhaul. When i plugged it into the trailer the right running lights did not work. The problem was the trailer frame was not a good ground for the light. Ran a #12 gound wire from the front of the trailer to the light monting bracket and it now works. All's well that ends well. THOUGH I would have appreciated more help. 267358

Works like a charm on my 2013 Toyota Prius , though it was a chore compared to the T-one connector by Tow Ready I installed on a previously owned Toyota Prius. Tow-Ready really needs to make that product for this year of Prius! Some tips- look up Ted K's install review of this on a Toyota Prius 2013, he told you which wire color is what light and how to remove panels access the light wires. The only thing I'd add is once you get to hooking it up and testing with the trailer lights, don't forget the last step, putting the fuse into the fuse holder! I had a short moment of disappointment before I realized I needed to do one more thing! Ta-dah! 138056

Just installed this harness (along with a hitch) on my 2013 BMW X3. Because I wanted to hide the wiring, I took out the two plastic bins on the sides in the rear to access the wiring and make the runs smooth. Everything went well - it was easier because the BMW has the battery in the rear, so no long run to the front for power. Everything necessary was included - handy to get the test light as well. Total times was almost 2 hours, but that was mostly doing the cosmetics to hide the wiring as well as the testing to find the right wires...Sahme on BMW for not selling their own wiring harness without buying a whole hitch for $700! 166698
by: soccerdad03/02/2013
Easy installation on the 2004 X3 3.0i. Very high quality kit. I simply followed the excellent video for the X3 also on this site at http://www.etrailer.com/Custom-Fit-Vehicle-Wiring/BMW/X3/2004/56146KIT.html?vehicleid=20049943. It installed just as explained and the adapter works perfectly. Tip: Make sure you have a good wire crimp tool like the one used in the video. Don't use pliers or the ones on the cheap flat stripper tool. You can get a set for about $10 at Lowe's or Home Depot. It will make all the difference. I am very happy with etrailer, great products, reasonable prices and great service. You can't go wrong. 68482
by: Scotty too Hotty03/09/2014
I have bought many products in the past hitches and harnesses. Stuff is right, never needs fabrication and is top quality material. I only wish they would add some extra solder less connectors so when you mess up you don't have to go to parts store. Harness kit comes with 12v tester great addition since I last ordered. AAAA++++ plan on haulin my new 2014 Carolina Skiff with my 1998 Impreza Outback 119977

The Jetta Sportwagen (2010-2011 confirmed, may be other years) has modulating taillights. Other Curt adapters may work. Figuring out the signals with modulating lighting can be painful. This is what works for 2010-2011 Jetta Sportwagen: Driver's side: Gray / Black (pin 1): Tail Light Black / Red (pin 2): Brake Brown (pin 3): Ground Black / White (pin 4): Left Turn Black / Blue (pin 5): Reverse Passenger's side: Gray / Black (pin 1): Tail Light Black / Purple (pin 2): Brake Brown (pin 3): Ground Black / Green (pin 4): Right Turn Black / Blue (pin 5): Reverse 27373

Let me start off by saying that shipping through etrailer is excellent, everything that I've ever ordered through this company has been shipped within 15 minutes of when I placed the order, which Is outstanding. Also, the products that I've ordered have been defect free, and meet every standards that I had, and then some! The wiring for my 2001 Lincoln Town Car came with perfect instructions, and I got it installed by myself in under an hour. Thank you etrailer for having everything I need, having good work ethics, and excellent shipping! Don't ever change. (: 114742

My wiring in my 1998 mazda( ranger) b4000 could not handle all the new lights from my new tent camper so I went on line to find a converter that was powered straight from the battery and found kit 56146 which works perfectly now. All my lights work and installation was a snap, I encased the battery wire in flexible tubing for extra safety. Every thing else I needed was in the kit, thanks to a quick deliver I got to go camping on time for Grandsons spring break safely. This kit is fused at the battery and is very safe in case of shorts or overloads. Al 73418

Mounted this on a BMW X1 (2013). This kit is not vehicle specific. I had plenty of Power cable as the battery is rear mount, but hardly an inch to spare for any of the other wires. The instructions were pretty vauge and there is no vehicle specific information to help you find the correct wires, etc... It would be nice if etrailer provided custom instructions to specific vehicles as Crutchfiled does for stereo installations. However, I'm no newbie when it comes to wiring, so I managed to get a very functional and clean install of this kit. 60040
by: Carlos06/20/2016
Product works great on my 2004 Volvo XC70. Installation was easy and fast. Finding the wires was the only difficult part of the install. You have to prick the wire with the tester attached to ground and the wires are small. I stuck the point into my fingers several times before I used a tongue suppressor as a backup to the wire to protect my fingers. From then on it was easy. Having the module supplied with power directly from the battery inssures a bright light at the trailer. Everything I needed was in the kit. 263034
by: David G12/22/2013
As mentioned in my review of the entire Rcvr and wiring process, no "plug & play" wiring harness yet exists for the Ford C-Max so you have to crimp into existing wires to make the connections. Found it better to wire into the driver's side harness and run the right turn signal wire over to the other side of the C-Max. The kit included everything I needed so installation was straight-forward. Def recommend the E-Trailer product line for users of any vehicles. You wont be disappointed. 110842
by: George B.06/16/2015
Great product, and support for installation. Just read the directions included, and watch the video online in the website. My access point in my 2003 Subaru Legacy sedan is inside the trunk, directly behind the rear lights. Subaru has an access behind the bulbs for service and bulb-changes, and gives direct and easy access to the wires being tapped into. Truly, it was as easy as that. Good solid connections first time around, and the trailer lights lit up just as they should. Very happy. 203894
by: Jesse04/15/2013
I installed this product in a 2013 Prius Plug-In. The install itself was fairly cumbersome, as there was a fair amount of disassembly required to access the necessary wiring. In the end, the product fit nicely and functioned perfectly. My only "complaint" was that the LED tester was so dim that it was very difficult to dicern on/off in the sunlight. 75995
Hi, Im installing this kit on 2013 prius two base, does anyone know how to check the tail light wire or its colors?Thanks a lot.
comment by: Valentin - 05/24/2014
I recommend using a circuit tester like the # 40376
Circuit Tester Kit
$48.95 to verify the functions of the wires on your Prius. There are several videos on the product page that show how to use the tester for verifying the functions for trailer wiring harness installation.
by: George A.06/05/2015
I bought this for my 2007 Impreza and the installation was a breeze. The video that etrailer.com has for the install was the best tool in this install. I found that the circuit tester didn't work as it should have. Not sure if the led was out or not but luckily I didn't need it. I tested it out on the trailer I just purchased and everything runs as it should! No problems at all plus it tucks away perfectly into my jack stand compartment. 200811

I had a problem finding exactly what I needed to connect a trailer to my 1996 Volvo wagon. etrailer had what I needed (most suppliers didn't have a "powered" connector), delivered it promptly, and with the help of the video on the website I had everything connected within a couple of hours. The product I purchased was the Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light w Converter Hardwire Kit - 4 Pole End (Includes Tester) - 56146KIT. 266301
by: Paul H08/09/2013
Installed this myself on my 2011 Jetta TDI SportWagen. The included instructions are not much help, but the videos here on etrailer tell you everything you need to know. Definitely watch them through a couple of times and expect that your install will take a little longer than when the pros do it. Not that hard. Works great once installed. Very nice that I can switch between trailers with incandescent and LED lights without worry. 94150

The trailer wiring kit for my Nissan Murano, with the circuit protected tail light unit worked flawlessly. The instructions were easy to follow and the installation went well. The only difficult part was the testing of the wires to determine tail light, brake light and right /left turn signals, which was very time consuming, cumbersome and required an additional person. I am very happy with the Curt trailer tail light wiring kit. 66182
by: Peter C03/16/2015
Mostly good - except the green wire to connect to the passenger side turn signal was too short for my Nissan Armada. Fortunately I was easily able to solve this with spare wire I had in the shop - but another 15 inches on the wire would have saved me the trouble. Also - the black wire to run to the battery was just barely long enough, thanks to the fuse wire. A bit more for future customers would be a good idea. 178492

I ordered the lighting kit for my 2011 X3 and it showed up sooner than expected. The install was a little hairy but the etrailer support line was patient and helpful and walked me through how to find a wire that should have been in place but wasn't there. Really glad that I ordered it and installed myself as I saved over $150! Thanks etrailer.com! 161881
by: Will H04/30/2015
Ordered this kit for my 2014 Ford Explorer. I was not looking forward to the installation since you have to take off back lights, run wire undercar and connect to battery. Installation couldn't have been easier thanks to etrailers videos. Can't say enough great things about etrailer, their products and their videos. Keep up the great work guys! 189049
by: BudB07/08/2014
Product installed exactly as described. Seems to work perfectly on my Yakima trailer. Installation was done on a 2010 VW Jetta TDI sport wagon. As others have stated the hardest and most time consuming step is running the power line up to the battery terminal. The video was very helpful except for the power line routing. 139983

I used this wiring package in a 1999 Mercedes e430. Though I was nervous about successful installation, everything that was needed had been included in the package. I am happy that the installation was successful. Thank you eTrailer.com; I now know where to go for all my trailer needs. 41438

Product was only a minor challenge to install on Lexus LS due to some difficulty in routing the power wire from the battery to the trunk. Found a rubber grommet under tail light that easily punctured and then sealed with silicone for the power wire. LED tail and brake wires on this car are very small - half the guage of the turn signal wires - so the quick clips took extra care to line up correctly. I have heard tales of the LED wires being cut completely thru by the splice, so care should be exercised to be sure the wiring is lined up properly. Otherwise, great product! 86943
by: Elaine06/18/2016
I bought this item so I could pull my tiny trailer behind my '98 Lexus. I had a small, local body shop install it. It has worked perfectly and the price for everything was reasonable. I was really impressed by the excellent customer service I was provided while I was searching for the right product, and they also took time to check in with me after one year to make sure I was still happy. Because of that kind gesture, I'm writing this to encourage others to buy items from this company! Tell George that Elaine W. sent you :) 262385

After speaking to Steve at e-trailer he sold me the wiring harness I needed for my rx300Llexus,I couldn't get anyone to install a wiring harness for my new trailer I had purchased, Steve reassured me it wasn't hard to do it myself, I had no problems with the install. Everything was in the package,. including a tester for checking for power.I was very pleased with etrailer and there produce. Thanks again Steve C 153146

I had the hitch and wiring delivered to a company that specialized and supposedly installed a lot of hitches. They have numerous locations, but only one did all of the hitch installs, about 15 miles from home. I brought my vehicle there so they could check that there would be no problems with what was shipped directly to their business, and I was assured that there would be no problems. They also gave me a firm estimate of two hours to complete the job. It turned out that no-one in the place knew how to do the electrical so the wiring was given back to me but they would not back down from the original price quote even though it was not finished and they recommended I go to another shop, not one of their shops, that REALLY works with hitches and they could do the electrical. Simply overpaying for the incomplete work plus "shop supplies" and taxes for labor (unusual in my state) was better than giving myself a heart attack. I've been cheated a lot when I was in business and always fought back and I treated vendors and customers with respect. I'm almost 80 now and I have a different outlook. I did go to the REAL trailer hitch installer that they recommended and they completed the wiring at a fair price, even though it was supposed to be done ad part of the original estimate at the first shop. None of this has anything to do with your product and "Your Product Review". I'll submit a photo of the car with the hitch installed. It does look like it belongs on the car and is not at all a distraction from the cars looks. Great product. You guys are great by delivering what was promised. The car is only a week old. You did great, and I love the finished installation if it doesn't fall off by being installed incorrectly. 127504

The kit is fantastic and the harness installation video made things so Easy it was the simplest install I've ever done for about anything! Awesome info, support and products! Finding all the great info and How to videos on your site is what sold me to purchase from your company. You will Always be my first stop from now on!!!! Excellent !!! A++++ 132733
Best investment Ive made for that vehicle! Works excellent and you will always be 1 when I look to need another hitch.Baileyrock - 05/28/2015

Install on 2011 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI: Suggestions: 1) Have a helper, another set of preferably small hands, to help with holding wires and making splice connections at rear lights. The connections for VW are tight and don't have a lot of give; 2) Search/find video online that shows route (or suggests one) for running the power wire from back to engine compartment (this step isn't shown in most of the videos) 3) Be very frugal with the power wire run--I had just enough (within a couple inches) to make the run to the battery 4) And following advice of others: Start within the driver side light compartment and fish the power and passenger side wires out and to the other side rather than (as shown in most videos) starting in middle and outside and having to fish the transformer box behind the molding and up into the driver side compartment. It's going to end up there in the end, so why not just put it there and fish the other 2 wires out? 255084
by: Martijn S.05/10/2013
Overall it looks like this harness will work. A couple of points that are good to know. Splicing into the existing drivers side wires is extremely tedious work standing in a very awkward position just outside the tail gate. The scotch splicers just barely fit clustered together since there is no slack in the car wiring itself. There is very little guidance given on how to run the power line to the battery. A make/model specific schematic showing suggested attachment points would really help. The power tester that comes with the kit doesn't work by attaching to the little posts as shown in the video. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but compared to the video this project seems much more difficult and time consuming. Allow for plenty of time and don't rush this project. If you can get the car on jacks it will make running the power wire much easier. Definite room for improvement, but the product does work if installed correctly. 79777

I was very pleased with the product and the packaging. Since my vehicle was previously wired for a converter, I simply removed the fuse and tapped into the existing wiring, re-installed the new converter and cable tied the wires and converter in place of the old one. Pictures included. By the way, I will be 81 this coming September. 141476

This part gets the job done at a fair price, and with ease. The included voltage tester makes finding the proper wires a breeze, and the instructional video made the rest of the install a no-brainer. It was my first electrical project of any sort, nonetheless on a car, and I was done in less than a couple hours; including taking apart my trunk and putting it back together. Only thing I would change is using a longer wire to go from the module to the battery - the included wire doesn't have a lot to spare, and took a couple tries to make it all the way to the battery without having to add any wire. Not a real problem, but a little more length would have been a luxury. In the end, it works, and it's pretty easy to make it look professional enough that people could think the car came equipped with this from the factory. Good deal if you ask me. 41316

The wiring install was pretty easy of you are an electrician. I had my mechanic friend help me and we installed this kit in about 30 minutes. I recommend you have a professional if you have never done wiring before. 163617

Easy to install and works conveniently. If you need to operate a standard four wire trailer light system from a vehicle that uses the dual bulb, six wire system, this makes life easy! 104400

I would have preferred the ground wire to be a 4" longer to better locate the module. I fished the power wire up to the fuse box along the inside drivers side and used a spare slot. 196699

Exhibition catalogue text
91 Romantic Woodland c.1824-5
Watercolour with touches of gum arabic and scratching-out on wove paper 19.4 x 26 (7 5/8 x 10 1/4)
The first half of the nineteenth century saw the establishment of a number of important regional artistic schools in Britain. The first of these, and perhaps the best known, was the Norwich School founded in 1803, which included such leading names as John Sell Cotman (see nos.85-6) and John Crome (1768-1821) and was the first provincial institution to maintain regular exhibitions. Another important local school of artists, albeit less cohesive than that at Norwich, was that set up in Bristol in the 1820s, of which the most important figure was Francis Danby.
Members recruited to these schools tended to have local connections, but Danby was a Bristolian purely by adoption. Born in Wexford, and brought up mainly in Dublin, he was passing though Bristol in 1813 en route from London to Ireland when he decided to take up residence there - either because he had insufficient money to continue his journey or because he saw pictorial possibilities in the local scenery (Greenacre 1973, p.34). He remained in the city for over ten years, practising as a drawing master and producing paintings for a local clientele - watercolours, especially views of the Avon Gorge and St Vincent's Rocks, and small, intense landscape oils of scenes in and around Bristol with remarkable natural detail and often including children playing with innocent concentration. On moving to London in 1824 he abandoned these for large, aspiring biblical canvases painted in a spirit of rivalry with his contemporary John Martin (1789-1854), and for 'poetic landscapes', as he termed them, intensely elegiac in mood and reminiscent of the paintings of Claude Lorraine. In 1829, having failed to become a Royal Academician (Constable won by a single vote), and by now embarrassed by financial and marital problems, he fled to the Continent. In 1837 he returned to London and ten years later settled in Exmouth where he died.
This watercolour was first published with a tentative attribution to Danby in 1942 by the twentieth-century British 'Neo-Romantic' painter John Piper (1903-1992). Four years later it was illustrated in a pioneering article on Danby by the eminent poet and critic Geoffrey Grigson. The attribution has since been questioned (by Greenacre 1973, p.84), but is retained here on the strength of the watercolour's compositional and stylistic similarities with other examples of Danby's work. The watercolour has been associated, probably incorrectly, with Danby's trip to Norway in 1825, but in date it does, nevertheless, seem to stand at the point of transition between Danby's Bristol and London periods: with its intimate mood, inclusion of young children and intensely observed natural details (in particular the small clusters of white flowers) it seems to hark back to the early Bristol oils, but with its air of fantasy it seems to look forward to the later, more elegiac works. One author has interpreted the children as looking both 'at home and vaguely lost', suggesting an element of folk-tale explicable to him only by reference to a literary source, and he cites as a possibility one of the illustrations to Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience (Adams 1973, p.59).
Before entering the Opp? collection, this watercolour was owned by the prominent Oldham industrialist and collector Charles E. Lees (1840-1894). In 1888 Lees gave eighty British watercolours to Oldham Art Gallery (Coombs 1993, p.4), and in 1894 thirteen more to the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester, of which he was one of the original governors (Nugent 1993, p.5).

"Hidden Tourist Delights!" Northern Province by Bwana_Brown
Northern Province Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 15 photos
Other than the time I hitch-hiked through Northern Province on my way to Tanzania and Kenya, I only had a single road trip to this part of Zambia. But what a great trip it was as I set off from the Copperbelt area of Zambia (near Ndola/Kitwe) with a Nova Scotian buddy of mine!
Our main goal was to visit Lake Tanganyika, but on the way we saw many amazing waterfalls, abandoned buildings and scenic views in the hills above the Great Rift Valley.
At that time in it's history, Zambia was totally undiscovered by the tourist world and I don't think that we came across another tourist in our entire 1200+ mile round trip! Now I see that, in the British 2004 Trends & Spends survey, Zambia is ranked 10th in the world as a destination spot for British tourists!
With it's high elevation of about 4000 feet in Central Africa, Zambia had one of the best climates that I have ever experienced - warm to hot with virtually no humidity!
We had a great trip through this huge northeastern part of the country as we took in the sights and visited with our fellow 'volunteer' workers who had been posted here from Canada and several European countries. When we were finished with Northern Province, we continued our circular route by touring Luapula Province and then passed through the Congo (Zaire then) to return home. Please see my General tip for a map of Zambia and the route that I took.
- Pros:Unspoiled Africa
- Cons:None Really - If You are Flexible
- In a nutshell:A fantastic part of Africa!

Happy Easter Glenn = nice to travel with you & I do love waterfalls!
Glenn what an interesting page on this beautiful part of Africa.The waterfalls are awesome. I have many regrets that we did not see more of Africa when we were living in SA.
Fabulous mix of useful tips (carefully at Lwombe), historical stories (Dupont in Africa), nature pictures (amazing waterfalls). I feel the aroma of your journey reading this diary.
Wow, fascinating; are you sure it wasn't the Aussie helping you? Cheers.
What a great adventure your roadtrip was. The falls are spectacular, and Lake Tangyanika looks especially interesting.
Fascinating page describing adventures in a pristine area of Africa. It must have been really exciting to stand at the lip of the great waterfall. I wonder if Father Dupont had to part with the Catholic Church because of the wives he had 'inherited'.
Ah this is very much off path ! Gorgeous landscapes and wonderful to read, Glenn - oops Bwana :-)
Magnificent tales & tips from your pioneering journeys in a time with not so many guidebooks (if any at all) on this most remote region! Though a bit blur, I managed to notice the Aussie hitch hiker!
Another good 'historical' page, Glenn. I suspect that in those days, an Aussie hitchhiker would have been even less likely than Canadian tourists!
Very interesting pages, with some great photo's BB! Blu

What's happening? We'd love to hear how your internship is going! This summer I had taken on an internship at Massachusetts General Hospital, conducting animal psychiatry research. I assisted in studies investigating the sex differences within stress and anxiety disorders, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Separate studies have deduced that women are more susceptible to PTSD and other anxiety disorders. Principal investigator, Dr. Mohammed Milad, had theorized that the fluctuating levels of estrogen influence the acquisition of fear and the extinction of fear.
Why I applied for my internship: I am currently studying psychology and will be learning more about neuroscience. I aspire to become a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist within pediatrics. I chose to apply for this internship because I wanted more hands-on experience with psychiatry work. Within this summer, I had acquired a great deal of knowledge within neuroscience and psychology. I was able to build on the concepts that I learned from introductory psychology courses and obtain a greater understanding of psychology and neuroscience that I may not have been able to learn within a classroom setting.

What's happening? We'd love to hear how your internship is going! This summer, I spent nine weeks interning at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the European Painting and Sculpture before 1900 department. As a curatorial intern, I was able to gain invaluable hands-on experience: I watched gallery re-hangs when several Van Goghs returned from being on loan, observed as a Rodin marble was replaced with a bronze by the artist, and even had the opportunity to hold some Italian art when it was moved into one of the galleries! I also wrote content in preparation for the Rodin Museum installation, coming in January. Researching and writing biographies about the subjects of Rodin's busts was not only a great opportunity, I learned a lot doing it, too! I was also tasked with archiving digital and hardcopy files from the Van Gogh Up Close (2012) exhibition—a show I was privileged (and excited about) enough to see three times. If ever I had a question, I just asked my supervisor, who was a co-curator o f the show. To be able to work with one of the curators of an exhibition that was so important to the inspiration of my thesis was a wonderful experience, and certainly strengthened both my academic and personal interest in Van Gogh.
The program also included presentations, tours and lectures with myriad Museum employees. As a result, we were able to have private tours of the collection, led by the curators. These included: Arms and Armor, European Decorative Arts, the Rodin Museum, American Art, American Furniture, Costume and Textiles, South Asian Art, Contemporary Art, European Painting and Sculpture before 1900, Prints, Drawings and Photographs, Modern Art, and East Asian Art. We also had the chance to see the Museum's two conservation labs, as well as have a tour of the entire museum—including the roof!
Spending so much time at the Philadelphia Museum of Art this summer has definitely played a role in my continued interest in pursuing a career as a curator. I have enjoyed it so much that I will be continuing my time there in the fall—an opportunity I am thrilled to have!
How I heard about my internship: As I became more and more invested in the study of art history and the museum world in general, I started to learn about the opportunities that are open to students. The Philadelphia Museum of Art listed this internship on their website, and it was one of the first places I looked when I began my research.
Why I applied for my internship: I have been visiting the Philadelphia Museum of Art since I was a kid—my dad used to take me every Sunday! My love for both art history and this museum in particular made me want to apply, and after reading the program description, I knew for sure this was where I wanted to spend my summer.

What's happening? We'd love to hear how your internship is going. I learned how to spot Piping Plovers, an endangered shorebird, on the beach and how to find their nests. Along with the other interns, we learned how to put up an enclosure to keep the Piping Plover eggs safe from predators such as the Greater Black Back Sea Gull and red foxes. I monitored nests daily, performed routine truck maintenance, and searched for sea turtle crawls or stranded marine life. Monthly meetings have revealed the various positions necessary to run a wildlife refuge and have provided valuable insight for career paths. Living at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge wasn't all work, I enjoyed swimming at the beach and walking the local trails. The peak tourist season occurred when the famous Pony Walk happens. This is a week long event when the ponies are corralled from both ends of the refuge and then swim into the town of Chincoteague to be sold. The enthusiasm in the air was evident and the sunrise was beautiful. However, one of my most memorable moments occurred when we visited the beach after hours and experienced an ocean of bioluminescence that was most prominent when waves crashed. The ocean was beautiful; I didn't think to take a picture or video because I was so mesmerized by the event. Overall I can identify over 30 species of shorebirds and more than 35 species of waterfowl. I can feel comfortable using binoculars, scopes, and using either to read tags on the legs of birds. This internship has taught me more skills than I could have imagined and I had the chance to work alongside some truly understanding peers and wise staff members. I can't wait to see what comes next back at Bryn Mawr.
How I heard about my internship: Lantern Link lead me to a website that provided this internship as a search result.
Why I applied for my internship: I wanted to learn more on-the-field skills.

What's happening? We'd love to hear how your internship is going! This summer, I interned at the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. More specifically, I had the opportunity to work for the Marketing & Communications Department, which was very educational and lots of fun. I met people that work in the field that I'm interested in pursuing, as well as learned a lot about what it takes to work for a non-profit organization as big and established as The Chamber.
How I heard about my internship: I was interested in internships in the Los Angeles area. I learned about the internship at The Chamber by simply doing my research and looking up opportunities that fit into that category. Google is always helpful if you know what you're looking for!
Why I applied for my internship: I applied for my internship because I wanted to pursue an experience that would give me the opportunity to work in Strategic Communications, as well as learn more about Public Policy and commerce. The position at The LAACC was perfect because it was located in Los Angeles, and mixed both marketing, communications as well as public policy. I couldn't have asked for a better fit, so I applied and thankfully got the job!

What's happening? We'd love to hear how your internship is going: This first half of summer was spent developing bold new work for the stage in the barns, theaters and fields of Hunter, NY. The Orchard Project, which convenes every summer in the ridiculously beautiful Catskills Mountains, is a 5-week artistic residency program that invites around 25 different theater and dance artists and companies for overlapping residencies to accelerate their latest creative projects. The artists are joined by group of 12 emerging artists, who stay over the five weeks, apprenticing with resident artists and diving into creative projects of their own. I was a proud one of the twelve young Macgyvers, and oh what an adventure it was. Each day at the Orchard Project was filled with master classes, generative work sessions, readings, composition sharings, creek swims and campfires. The core company is able to intersect with the work of all the artists who pass through, and are exposed to a multitude of art-making ideologies, generative tools, company structures. I was assigned to apprentice individually with Critical Mass Performance Group (LA-based ensemble creating original epics), PeMO (a Seattle-based dance-theater duo), both of which have been incredibly inspiring. I was also able to continue my study of clown, a performance style I had been eager to return to, and began creating a solo-performance through its lens, which would not have happened without the support and rigor of the other core company members and staff. Those five weeks were demanding and at times, terrifying, but filled with possibility and daring and vibrant people, whom I expect to know as collaborators for a long time to come. The number one thing I believe that this unique program gives it young company is ownership over themselves artists and an enhanced awareness in their ability to create opportunities for themselves and command themselves in the professional world, or at least this much has been true for me.
How I heard about my internship: I learned about the Orchard Project through Catharine Slusar, a faculty member of the Theater program. She connected me with the director of the Core Company, from whom I learned more about the apprenticeship program.
Why I applied for my internship: I was looking for an immersive experience in which I could collaborate with individuals with very different backgrounds, aesthetics and skills sets. I wanted a structure that was rigorous enough that it would push me, quickly, into ways I was scared of working, but open enough for me to set my goals and take my own initiatives. I am always trying to answer the question of how one builds a sustainable life in the arts, and I believed that my time at the Orchard Project would give me the greatest, in depth exposure to a variety of models, foster an environment for me to ask many questions, and encourage me to be bold about drawing my own conclusions. And it did.

What's happening? We'd love to hear how your internship is going! My internship has been exquisite. I am gaining excellent research skills through surfing and analyzing news articles from different American sources, in addition to Jordanian and other Arab and European news. In addition, I am monitoring the US government and transcripts related to recent events in the Arab world. Moreover, I got the chance to attend several Think Tank events and speak to diplomats and listen to speakers, thus, write special reports and submit it to the Jordanian Information Bureau. Also, I have helped in organizing couple of events at the Embassy where diplomats, military chiefs, and other ambassadors have joined the Jordanian team to discuss and celebrate together.
How I heard about my internship: I heard about my internship from my previous internship at the Royal Court in Jordan, and online through the website of the Embassy of Jordan.
Why I applied for my internship: I interned last summer at the Royal Court in Jordan at His Majesty King Abdullah II office, and for this summer I have decided to have an internship experience in the United State while at the same time work for my country Jordan. Thus, I realized that working at the Embassy of Jordan would be the perfect match for my interests between the US and Jordan; work through the bilateral relations between the two countries.

What's happening? We'd love to hear how your internship is going! I'm in my third week in the translation division of the Boston Language Institute. It's been quite interesting learning about project management and working on projects as well—I was working on the dubbing of Chinese audio for an educational video for a university, for example.
I've been here since the end of May. I've spent some time in the English as a Second Language department, seeing how things work there, as well as helped out the Foreign Languages department with some administrative tasks here. Since I've gotten to change the desk that I'm sitting at every three or four weeks or so, I've also spent time observing the TEFL Certification classes and listening in on an Italian class from one of my desks as well. That rotation in particular was quite memorable.
It's been quite the learning experience, in all, and I'll walk away from the Boston Language Institute this summer with plenty of stories to tell.
How I heard about my internship: The President of the Boston Language Institute, Siri Karm Singh Khalsa, is a Haverford alum. I wrote to him asking if there were any intern gigs available.
Why I applied for my internship: wanted to get some experience in the language business and thought it was a good idea at that time.

What's happening? We'd love to hear how your internship is going? This summer, I am interning at the Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies in Temple University Japan Campus, located in Tokyo, Japan. Specifically, I am assisting my faculty supervisor on his research about the 3.11 Fukushima Nuclear Disaster. My task is mainly to compile and assess firsthand information on topics such as the different assessments by different organizations of the nuclear crisis, technological and political debates among organizations, and the reasonings behind the protective measures taken at the time by parsing through thousands of Japanese government records, international news reports, and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents on its involvement with the 3.11 crisis. Outside of this research, the internship program has also sponsored interesting activities such as a field trip to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine and briefing sessions on doing business in Japan. I am enjoying my time in Japan and the wonderful experience at ICAS!
How I heard about my internship: My professor forwarded me an email from the institute about the internship program.
Why I applied for my internship: I had gained interest in Japan and the 3.11 disaster through courses I had taken at Bryn Mawr and am planning to write my senior thesis on this topic. I thought that the internship would give me an opportunity to learn more and help develop my potential thesis topic, further my capabilities as a researcher, and experience Japan.

What's happening? We'd love to hear how your internship is going! Salaam from Morocco! I have spent almost a month living in a gorgeous, flower-hugged home in Casablanca, picking up phrases in Darija (Moroccan dialectical Arabic) and working as a French-English translator for Casamémoire, a local association with the goal of raising popular awareness of the city's rich architectural history.
My job began with reading up on Casa's vibrant past, starting with the ancient and going through the eras of colonialism and decolonization all the way to present urban efforts and art. Gaining this context was particularly enriching given my past experience in a Bryn Mawr 360° course on Marseille and Mediterranean port cities; in that course cluster, we attended a couple of lectures on le Corbusier (an architect) and post-colonial urban planning in Algiers, just one country away and quite similar in many respects.
After doing my homework, the real task began: I was handed the French-language version of the association's architectural guide to Casablanca's 20th-century buildings (there is also one in Arabic) and told to translate it. Simple, right? Not very. The book-sized guide is thankfully full of pictures and translation is something I enjoy, so the work was not too daunting; at times I went into the office by tram, but at times I worked independently from home, nestled into some cushions on my boyfriend's balcony with some Hawai (very tasty Moroccan soda), some msemen bread with honey, and a glossary.
When I wasn't translating passages about famous mosques or reading about postcolonial housing projects, I was able to submerge myself in as much Moroccan-ness as possible. I study Morocco and the Maghreb pretty closely, both in classes at Bryn Mawr and in my free time, so being there in person for the first time was as breathtaking as it was hot (very, very hot). I arrived right in the middle of Ramadan and actually had quite a fun time fasting… and then breaking the fast with a mixed Algerian- and Moroccan-style "ftour" dinner on the terrace every night, after cannons were fired to mark sunset. During Ramadan in Morocco's biggest city, everything stays open into the early morning, so it was not rare to leave dinner and walk along the corniche by the Atlantic or hang out in a large group until 5 a.m. After Ramadan comes l'Aïd al-Fitr, a day that we spent in a huge family gathering full of cookies, cousins, and "tberguig" (gossip). It w as such a singular and warm experience to share in all of this tradition and community — my real encounter with Ramadan as a fasting non-Muslim in Morocco were so much more rewarding and less intimidating than some Americans might expect. I kind of missed it when it was over!
I did leave the city of Casablanca, making treks out to the nearby Atlantic coast at Dar Bouazza; the breezier Mediterranean coast in the north, near Tétouan; and Marrakech, which is worth the sweat and sunburns. I grew accustomed to the crazy taxi drivers, the heat-induced thirst that only a fresh panaché from a juice bar can heal, the smell of sage, and the constant noise and color of the country, even if an enormous chunk of Morocco remains unseen to me at this time.
Because a book is quite a lot to translate, no matter how intriguing the subject is, I still have some work to do. I'm hoping to spread the remainder of the work over the next year, which should result in an eventual publication of the English guide with my name on it… and with any luck, a return trip to Morocco in the not-so-distant future.
Bissalaama à toutes et à tous, and happy August!
How I heard about my internship: Good luck and connections! My own internship search this past spring had been pointing me in the direction of English language instruction for a Moroccan charity or non-profit, but a stroke of luck (and a boyfriend whose mother has lots of interesting friends) lead me to contact the head of communication and development at Casamémoire. We sorted some things out and talked about my past work, and then it was off to Morocco!
Why I applied for my internship: I'd like to add that, now that all is said and (almost) done, my internship in Casablanca would not have been possible without financial support for the plane to Africa and back. I started a GoFundMe page in May and was astounded by the rapidity and generosity with which individuals from the Bryn Mawr community, Morocco, and elsewhere contributed to the campaign. I am so grateful for the gigantically rewarding opportunity that these people helped me to have and I hope that this virtual postcard lets people know that (A) I had a really cool summer internship experience and (B) they should never give up on having really cool summer internship experiences, even when it seems financially impossible.

iPad2 inventory finally catching up with the huge demand
There are flipsides to being the best after all! The iPad 2 was famous even before it was launched, and a huge demand since right when it was launched was the testimony. Since it was launched earlier this year, the delivery wait has been one to two weeks due to a huge demand-supply gap. But now Electronista reports that the delivery period shows as 3-5 days on the online Apple store. This could mean a surge. If this is true, probably for the first time Apple could be witnessing a shrinking of shipping lead time for the iPad 2.
Apple allowed only two units of iPad 2 per order to prevent a backlog, but was still unable to cope up with the demand.

JERUSALEM (AP) - Seven spoons, six knives, five plates, two towels and one bathrobe.
An Israeli woman delivered the package of stolen items to a hotel a few days before the Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, the Maariv newspaper reported Tuesday.
The woman had become religious and wished to atone for her sins, she explained in a letter that accompanied the items returned to the Nirvana Hotel on the Dead Sea.
"I decided to return all that I took because we became religious, and we are sorry for these acts," the woman wrote in a letter.
In accordance with the holiday spirit, hotel spokesman Leon Ben-Amron told Maariv that management had forgiven the woman, who had been a frequent guest at the hotel.

It's a Thunder TIger Silver Fox. Beyond finding a donor chassis somewhere, I've no clue where to find parts for them anymore.

Good deal! If you're happy, that's what really matters. Speed is fun sometimes, but control is fun all the time. Best of luck with the new ride, and don't be afraid to share pix of your whip!
Things like that are reasons why I won't live in a metro. I dig my small town life, despite it being the same cliques 20+ years after high school. Someday we will move to the country, and I shall...

Agreed on the Savage. Mine has been through hell and back, and the only thing I've broken was a shock rod end. Thing's a TANK. BTW, curious what the weak points are on the nitro MT2. My MT was decent...
If you want a car, I'd go for Associated, HPI or Losi. All have plenty of support. If a truck is what you want, I'd stick with those vendors also. Traxxas, meh. They always seem to break down easily...
Gotcha. I will say, the stock rubber on my truck is still very useable, even after having driven it on pavement as much as I have, but the traction SUCKS. I can't keep it under control anywhere...

Establishing Cavitation as a Damage Mechanism for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Blast

Research Institution:
AbstractThe leading risk facing our soldiers in Iraq is an improvised explosive device (IED). IED attacks on vehicles create an extreme shock environment that has been linked to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). While the damage mechanisms that cause TBI remain elusive, several researchers have speculated that the damage mechanisms of stress and strain associated with non-war-related TBI may not sufficiently address IED induced TBI. It may, in fact, involve a third damage mechanism: cavitation. The objective of this research is to develop the mathematical tools to predict these damage mechanisms. Advanced Technology and Research Corporation will collaborate with Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in developing a finite-element model of the head/brain. The dynamic response of the head/brain model to IED events will be computed using the DYSMAS hydrocode. Stress and strain contours predicted over the duration of the response will be examined for potential damage mechanisms including cavitation. Positively identifying the damage mechanism for TBI will directly impact the health care needs of current and future military personnel. By understanding the cause(s) of TBI, engineers and medical researchers can continue their collaboration to develop mitigation devices and cut medical costs by reducing the number and severity of TBI casualties.

So I'm trying to mount my ext4 (with extents) partition on Mac OS X using MacFUSE (from MacPorts) and ext4fuse (compiled from git), but I just can't manage to do it. I'm trying to do it like this:
sudo ./ext4fuse /dev/disk0s3 ~/Mountpoint
sudo ./ext4fuse /dev/rdisk0s3 ~/Mountpoint
(I'm not sure what's the difference between disk and rdisk)

Think Rashad Evans when he's up against someone he's clearly afraid of. He wall n stalls, he's an incredible wrestler but he employs strategies that..
A) prevent him from fighting, and eat the clock
B) are all about control and never about the finish, not fighting (imo) unless you are trying to do something that leads to finishing the fight.
Guys like Rashad (when he's scared) or Jake Shields, I don't want to give these guys the advantage of the cage because they are the type of fighters that look to not fight, by utilizing control without going for the finish. They are content using control by itself to get the W. The ring, makes it a little, to a lot more difficult to employ that sort of style.
But, if it's two guys that earnestly want to take one anothers head off, or walk away with the other guys arm or leg, then put them in the cage..
I guess I'm trying to say, if it's a real fight and guys are fighting, then the cage is good.. If it's a couple wrestlers or puffy punch girls (Jake Shields) put those turds in the ring and make them fight.
If a fight's going to be boring and one or both guys are going to fight negatively, it's going to be boring regardless of whether it's in a cage or a ring. You act like there's no such thing as lay and pray or a boring fight in a ring.
But the fact remains - the cage is designed for mixed martial arts. The ring is designed for boxing. A different sport entirely.
For your complaints about individual fighters - don't you get annoyed when the ref jumps in and breaks up the action to waste a bunch of time walking the fighters to the centre of the ring, for no other reason than the ropes got in the way? What about when a hurt fighter gets the opportunity to recover purely because the environment he's fighting in was designed for an entirely different sport?

Hello. really digging this plugin.. I'm not 100% sure how well the API keys are syncing with NextScripts auto poster, but so far so good ;)
However, the Google+ comment box always seems to have the wrong width, and height generated... And cannot seem to force the height to auto with CSS....

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & lawman
1. Be determined. I decided to stop smoking 3 month ago. I told all my friends about it, and warned them against any "short fuse" reactions, I've had kind of holliday since oktober 1. - the stop day.
2. Change habits. Drink tea instead of coffee, eat what ever you want, drink lots of water, eat chili peppers and chocolate.
3. It is not a matter of when you smoke the next cigarette (you don't), it's a matter of time before the de-poisoning is over.
5 Days without nicotine, still very stressed but improving...
I'm a *** **** ******* hero :)
But if you are looking for the approval of people who you may have only talked with on the internet, then you get what you can take.
My analogy was pointing out that people have know that smoking was bad for you and yet they still go along with their buddies or whoever has influence to impress them. Now that they are quitting they want a pat on the back.
I do not mean to sound rude so dont take my post that way. It was just meant to point out that people should not seek the title of hero. I know that ulstrup and the other smokers are pointing out that it is truly hard to stop smoking.
So, good for you, all who have quit and all who are trying to or thinking about trying to quit.
Anyway Tigger, WELL DONE! Just be carefull in the second week... You will get the feeling: "See I can quit easily, so it doesn't matter if I take one now" That's dangarous! And it's all an illusion! When you didn't smoke for a week, a cigarette will be such a disgusting disappointment.
Try to check Alan Carr's book. I skimmed through that tiny pocket edition. Some good statements!

My tip.... (and I'm 5 and bit years off them after smoking Camel for years as well as roll-your-owns etc etc)... I kind of agree that it gets easier after the first few weeks BUT...
I found that the first time I did something for the first time since I quit (eg. long car drive, getting on a chairlift skiing, late night after long dinner, walk in the bush) I really wanted one.
Also, I was told - and I 'reaffirmed' myself of this.... the craving lasts really only for a miniscule instant and then it's just thinking about it... in other words - once you're actually thinking about the cigarette you really don't want it (crave it) anymore....
An added incentive in Australia is that they are now so heavily taxed they cost well over $10 per pack and it's pretty anti-social even in pubs (and totally banned in eating places)!
PS. The weight stabilises but for me it was a good year....
Day 7 is nearly over
Congrats! What you've done is a major, major achievement and you should be extremely proud of yourself. Hang in there. Your body will thank you.
I have just officially joined the ranks of former smokers.
Way to go! *clap* *clap* *clap* Not only do you have a longer life, you'll have a more comfortable life. Take a peek at any nursing textbook and you'll see that "smoking" is one of the predictable precursors for everything awful, from hypertension to heart disease. You guys are improving your chances for a much more comfortable life and lots better health - in the near- and far-term.
All-in-all, I feel better and am prepping to take my first "I quit smoking" vacation.
Great idea! You ought to take your girlfriend to Hawaii this December. I hear it's lovely there in early winter.
I'm very confident I will succed. Not one.
Thank you!
You have quit. Now, start thinking that way. You should replace the old behavior with something new. Get a punching bag and hang it up in the cellar. When you feel nostalgic for the day, go there and punch the bag until you are in full wheeze. Take note of how long you could do it. Then, repeat and keep track of the time. Pretty soon you'll build some breath support, longer exercise times and some muscles.

Actually tonight will be the ultimate test, Denmark is playing the last soccer match for a place in the European Championship 2004 - events like that usually triggers a 20 pack in less than 2 hours ;)
I hope the Denmark match is sufficiently exciting so as to keep you away from the smokes.
Watch it at home with friends/family that do not smoke, and preferably hate smokers. Go to a bar with friends to watch it and life could become tough.
Looking forward to the day 12 update :)
Next thing you'll be starting to be surprised by how long you are going without thinking about smoking. It seems to go from minutes to half a day or more in a blink.
From day one I stopped smoking! - I am a non-smoker!, I do not smoke!, I have stopped smoking! Period. Basta. Punktum.
The question is: when does the bad feeling stop.
To start smoking again is not an option.
Thats why I have succeded so far.
when does the bad feeling stop
Your body adjusts to being a non-smoker after about three weeks. Any cravings you get after that are purely psychological (and don't give in to them - there's no such thing as one cigarette).
Mind you, for a few years after I stopped smoking, I had recurring nightmares about accidentally starting again.
On the third day you get hell,
On the third week things get a bit cooler,
On the third month you can say, "I am a non smoker"
On the third year will rarely think about it.
But until then, you are a hero!
Congrats to you and Denmark!
