I brought a couple of different dresses with me and asked Mom and Greg which one they liked the most. Both of them agreed on the fuchsia outfit. I found the top at JCPennys, but the skirt was made in Hawaii. When I was doing research on Hawaii, I came across a lady's blog and she had a picture of a lovely fuchsia skirt. I was taking a chance, because it could have totally been a different color - but it was a perfect match when it was delivered (right before we left for the trip - perfect timing). The flowers in my hair are from Mom "something borrowed" - it all came together in a lovely way.
The ceremony took place in the backyard, near the beach. Rev. Jerry Sulliban was our Hawaiian minister. To start the ceremony, he picked up a conch shell, turned to the left, blew into it, creating a long lovely sound. Then turned to the back, did the same thing and repeated it once more to the right.
Pu, pronounced 'poo' (ok, go ahead and giggle) is the Hawaiian name for Conch Shell. It's considered a gift from the ocean, because it comes out of the life giving waters with a sound that flows across the 'Aina (land). Blowing the Pu is used before a ceremony to mark the official beginning. The Hawaiians believe to blow the Pu is a call to the divine. One minister wrote about it this way, "I blow the Pu for the cause and to open the Heavens to come and Bless the couple and to give thanks. I do not blow the Pu alone for its sound."
Rev Sulliban then gave a chant in both Hawaiian and English, then said a prayer.
Mom said Dad got teary-eyed when he said his vows to her. I think that's the sweetest thing. I wanted the vow renewals to be special for my parents and I'm so glad it was.
As part of the ceremony, the guys gave the girls flower leis and we gave the guys nut leis.
One funny moment was when the girls had to repeat the vows and the minister should have said, "As your wife, I..." but Rev Sulliban accidently instructed the women to say, "As your husband, I.." Mom and I changed the word to "wife" but Roda said, "As you... HUSBAND..." (She had this "huh?" sound in her voice that made the minister realize his mistake.) He repeated it again and AGAIN said "As your husband..." We all giggled. He said it the third time correctly and had to hear us say it correctly for the ceremony to be official.

I got piXXed off with it more than once but learned to ignore and filter the right stuff.
As long as the forum isn´t overwhelmed with it I wouldn´t mind but that is a question of taste how pure one wants such a forum.
I certainly find enough here to read that I can cope with ignoring some group-buys.
Being surrounded by commerce in the real world it is also a question if it´s doable at all to create an oasis without any commerce and how much effort has to be done to reach that.
Do you think you can do it better?
I have to admit that I appreciate the effort BrianGT has done in the group buy. For 80$ I got parts shipped in one week that were properly packed and which I couldn´t get cheaper here in germany. It´s hard for me to call that commerce. It´s a DIY-bargain with good service.
That said there are indeed bargains which nobody can deny and there are other things that should rather go to Ebay.
Are you able to ignore such things?
How much can you cope with?
The fact that a few individuals left is in my eyes their problem.
I don´t think it´s the forum that changed so heavily. (Well, yes there are more group-buys coming up)
Do you move into the rainforest because you have commercials from Walmart in your letterbox?
One thing I can´t get into my head was Fred´s argue about the whole Zobel-thing.
Why can´t he just let other people do what is maybe unprofessional, not suitable, against all physics?
There are newbies and audio-voodoo´s on the forum.
Let them do what they wanna do, there are worse things happening that are not right.
So what´s the reason for them going?
Lack of tolerance? Not able to ignore BS? A bit stubborn?
Don´t forget : We´re all fanatics! which should be enough to keep us all together?

benny - very well put in my opinion. if you're really 17, my hat is off to you.
One suggestion I'd like to make that just may raise the level of this forum is for people who don't know much about audio or the physics behind it to do a little reading on their own or surf the web for info. Learning how to learn is an important gateway to thinking, and that is what this audio hobby entails. So, instead of looking for a quick answer on here and having to sort through all kinds of input, try picking up a book or looking for it elsewhere on the web, even on here. That's what all the experienced people have done, there are no shortcuts. If one were to read or experiment just a little on their own, pretty soon they too might become contributors to this forum. I can see why some might choose to limit their time here,..it's because they are busy doing work! I know when time comes for me to be in my lab, there is not much time for anything else, let alone hanging out here and seeing what kind of argument I can get into.

hi retro,
i think another way people can use this forum to further their learning, is read up and research something as part of your own learning, and once you feel confident in your own mind with it, use it when you get the chance to help someone with it... then what happens is any gaps, or mistakes you make will be picked up by the more experienced members. one of my first threads i entered on this forum i had a mistake of mine pointed out to me, and this just helps increase my knowledge. so respect the forum and the people on it, and the people and this forum will respect you.
anyway, i gotta go, it's 3 in the morning and i got an exam tomorow arvo, so i should get some sleep. too bad my sleeping patern's so screwed up. i'm like right now, and in the afternoons.
like i said before, keep it real.... keep it audio

Right I have not read page three as i dont have much time atm.
But I agree that there has not been much change since I started to post, about two years ago maybe a lil bit less, but as far as i can see there is no problem with flaming and all that. If a member is rude and literally says bad things about a qualified EE's ideas, then they should either be another EE who strongly dissagrees with the first EE's ideas. Or very stupid and not an EE simply because they dont know whats going on and have taken umbridge with DIYaudio that day. There are to my knowledge very few BAD posts on DIY and I for one welcome the experience and knowlegde of the educated ppl among us.
With regards to ppl selling stuff etc..... why not create a forum specifically aimed towards members selling stuff. Im sure there are a few members who might actually like to buy stuff other members have made, or am I missing the point here??
Anyway Ill still continue to post here until I get bored with DIY audio, which is likely never to happen, or my hands get cut off and my eyes poked in.
What the hell are you screamin' for? Every five minutes there's a bomb or somethin'! I'm leavin! bzzzz! Now with website! www.5een.co.uk under construction.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I don't think any of the experts left because of any commercial activity, I don't know who came up with that nonsense. You know why WJ left? Complete disrespect (NOT for his expertise, but as a normal human being). people were ripping of his design, selling it under his name, ignoring his polite question to stop it. YOU (collectively) chased him away. So stop crying.
And, as you rightly point out, lazyness, refusal do to even a minimum of your own research or thinking, THAT's what turns off anyone willing to give advise. The same stupid (in the sense that the answer could be found with 5 mins of using your brain) thing for the umpteenth time. So, it is YOU the lazy member (whoever fits the shoe...) that turns the WJ's and other experts away, NOT the commercial activity.
Yes, I do realise I ignored my own advice. No need to point it out. Maybe instead you can come up with an audio idea?

What is this "we" stuff, white man????
I agree with all that you say, except that "we" didn't do it.
Only one person did that.
Sure, you can extrapolate that since no one outside the usual gang squawked about it, that we are all guilty.
No, I maintain that we aren't.
One person was told repeatedly to knock it off. He didn't.
The moderators pretended that they did not know it. They tried to say that only a small private group knew.
But more importantly than "we" ran Walt off, is the fact that the actions that caused him to leave will also prevent his return.
This certain individual continues to mine the forum for ideas that he can turn into commercial products. He tries every stunt known to gain information that could be considered to be proprietary. He whines in private that he can not sell as many boards as another member does. He starts his own forum, to promote his own products. He registers on other forums and provides links to reviews of his products probably written by confederates. And yet he feigns interest as only doing this as just a way to blow of steam from not having the freedom to do as he pleases at his profession. Just a harmless little hobby, with no real intent to make money at it.
This is the kind of individual that you guys want as a moderator? Is this really the kind of individual that the forum "high sheriffs" want as a moderator?
Do you guys think that these food fights will ever cease until firm action is taken?
Well, it is your forum, guys. Maybe you don't own it. (Who does own it anyway? And what are their objectives. Inquiring minds want to know.), But you are what makes it happen. And when it is no longer "happening", who will you have to blame?
Well, maybe Jan is right.
So.....more dire predictions of the "world coming to an end"? No. Just more of the same, only worse. If you guys want change for the positive, then you will have to demand it.

On August 15, 2007, an earthquake struck Peru's southern coast. Measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale, the earthquake destroyed 50,000 homes and devastated many communities. Overall, more than 200,000 families were affected by the quake.
The goal of this project is to support post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction for 2,000 earthquake-affected families in Huancavelica, Peru. The project includes the reconstruction of social and productive infrastructure, improving family incomes through livelihood recovery activities, and institutional strengthening of local governments.
This is a new feature, part of CIDA's efforts towards increasing transparency. Information will only be available for projects approved after October 15, 2011. For other projects, information on expected results is usually included in the description.
The Peru CARE Huancavelica Reconstruction project, which was funded in the wake of Peru's 2007 earthquake, exemplified transitional post-disaster programming that bridged relief and long-term development. End of project results include: 247 families with access to water safe for human consumption (92.2% of target) and 442 families had rebuilt or repaired houses so that they are safer (including more resistant to earthquakes) and healthier. The project trained 1036 families to build their own earthquake resistant homes (136.3% of target and a key factor of sustainability). The project achieved 100% of its training targets related to disaster risk reduction, which included teaching over 400 children on how to prepare for a natural disaster. The project also rebuilt or repaired 3 classrooms, 2 health units and 5 "Maternal Houses", which are centers that provide pre-natal care and education for expectant mothers in the final weeks of their pregnancy and for their small children. Overall, of the 1100 households that took part in the project, the average rise in income from agricultural activity equalled 48% during the time period of the project and contributed to a 25% decrease in the poverty rate among the households that participated.

how do i stop a dog from chasing chickens?
My siberian husky is chasing and killing my neighbor`s chickens. Is there a shock collar that will deter him from doing this? Bob
Asked by

in Behavior & Training
- This question is closed.
I think I speak for your dog when I say "Please don't use a shock collar!" They're inhumane and probably won't be all that effective either.
Why not make sure he can't get to the chickens? I know that sibes are notorious escape artists, but I really do think that making sure he can't get to them is your best bet. Your dog seems to have a high prey drive (not a bad thing), and you probably can't change that. It's just how he is. Your task is to learn to manage that and help him not get into trouble.
I would recommend fencing for your dogs and for the chickens. (NOT electronic fencing... that won't stop a dog who is determined to get through.) It would be great if you could work with your neighbor on this. Both of you want to make sure his chickens are safe.
Westley answered on 11/24/07. Helpful? / 0
A shock color would require an "invisible fence". And dogs can come in and attack you dog and your dog can't get away. I wouls say NO to the shock collar. Make sure your stays in your yard. Or maybe keep him inside when the chickens are out.
Gray Dawn Treader answered on 11/24/07. Helpful? / 0
I agree that the shock collar is really something best left at the store, in the box, on the shelf!
The problem with shock collars, in my opinion, is that they 1) don't work and 2) hurt the dog and 3) are always a last resort from people who aren't taking the time to take the logical steps or invest time in training to stop the problem in a way that makes some long-term sense to the dog.
There are probably a small handful of cases out there where using such a collar MIGHT be an appropriate measure. This isn't one of them.
If this were my dog, I would make sure that he did not have access to those chickens. If you need to put up a fence, confine your dog to a dog run when you're not there to supervise him or keep him indoors when you are away from the property, then that is a much more logical step than shocking your dog.
Some dogs don't even respond to the shock or will "run through it", meaning they just ignore the pain and continue to do the behavior.
Jack answered on 11/24/07. Helpful? / 0
i agree that a shock collar is not the best answer. To me the best way to hadle this is to take the dog in view of the chickens and wait until the dog has it attention on the other animals. When he/she is in the mindset of going after them give him a correction by giving him a bit at the neck with the fingers. After doing this a few times he/she should start to get the picture that you as the dominent are not going to allow this. Make sure the dog is on a leash during this time. If you keep up on this you will see a positive result.

Flickering Lights
I took my truck out tonight ... first time driving at night since I did the EZ-Wire kit ... and when I was at stop lights I noticed my dash lights and headlights SLIGHTLY flickering. Not when the engine is revving ... only at stops when the rpm is lower.
Bad ground, right?
But here are my questions :
1 -- If the headlights are flickering, does that mean the headlights have a bad ground? Or does it mean there's a bad ground SOMEWHERE on the truck? I know I made good ground contacts everywhere on the truck when I rewired ... but for the tail lights. They're grounded via the tail light body-fixtures and the bracket that holds them on the truck ... which is bolted to a painted area. I didn't remove that and make sure there was metal on metal for a good ground ... so I'm thinking THAT could be the cause. Am I right???
2 -- What about this >> My dimmer switch for high/low beams isn't grounded ... normally that gets mounted to the body via the floorboard, but I'm doing a different mount with it above the floorboard, on a raised panel (which I havent finished yet). That involves the headlights and the gauge lights ... so maybe that's the cause?
3 -- OR ... I'm wondering if this is a matter of low voltage and a relay is the answer, such as MadElectrical talks about?

Alan, Frist check all you connection. making sure all your wires are soild in your plugs. Some aftermarket harness have wire that back out of there plugs. Then check your light switch. ( with your lights on wiggle your wires and see if they flicker). could be a lose plug or bad switch. since your talking about head lights and dash lights. check the ground for your headlights. move the wire and see if they flicker.
I would check these before buying anything.
I suspect the flickering headlights at idle is related to a low rpm of the engine and thus a lower output of the alternator. If you raise the idle a tad does the flickering headlights go away? Did you ground the headlight ground wire to the fender well again like original or did you ground it to the frame this time? I've had problems in the past when I grounded the wire to the fender well and now drill and tap a hole in the frame to attach the headlight ground wire. You could always just make another ground wire and attach one end to the frame and then attach the opposite end to the fender wells that way you don't have to move both headlight ground wires. It would be nice to have an amp meter hooked up to the truck as see what the amperage is at idle with the headlights.
The headlight dimmer switch doesn't have to be grounded to work.
Thanks, guys.
I grounded the left headlight to the frame, because there was an easy spot to do so ... the right headlight is grounded to the fender well -- I hope that's the culprit! The dash lights are grounded to the firewall and I have a direct #4 groundwire from the starter post to the firewall and the frame ... none to the body.
Do you think these relays from MadElectrical are worth buying? They're $25 a pop and they say you need one for low and one for high beams -- that's $50!
I'll check all connection points today and I'll check voltage readings, too -- hey, Joe : What's the difference between taking a voltage reading and taking an amperage reading?
Alan Horvath

[ May 18, 2003: Message edited by: horvath ]

Still flickering!
I grounded the right headlight to the frame, so both headlights are grounded to the frame now. Then I ran new grounds to my tail lights from the frame ... then I ran a #12 wire from my #4 firewall ground (coming from the starter bolt) to my ground wire-screw that grounds the dash stuff (just to be sure) ... so everything is grounded as well as I can think of doing it. But the headlights and front park lights are still flickering.
If I rev up to about 1800 rpm the flickering goes away, so I'm thinking it's a voltage drop that's causing it and not a ground problem or loose contacts.
Would you guys agree?
Thanks for your help.
Alan Horvath
54 Chevy Pickup
call me crazy but when i first read this a few days ago i thought 'voltage regulator'. maybe?????
I think you're right, Larry.
I just got 2 posts from guys over at ChevyTalk.com and they both said the alternator and/or regulator may be going.
I'm actually GLAD to hear it! I was suspicious of the alternator.
Is there a way to test with a multimeter and know for sure? Or should I just go ahead and buy a new alternator?
Alan Horvath
54 Chevy Pickup
Hey, all
I took my truck to an alternator shop today and bought a rebuilt alternator for $68 ... installed it ... flickering is GONE.
I was getting whacko voltage readings with the old alt, too - which is why I suspected it was going bad. It was pumping 15+ volts with the engine running! Voltage readings are all right on the mark now.
THANKS for your help.

Simplification During Integration
In performing a definite or indefinite integral, Mathematica performs
transformations on parameters which are not dependent upon the variable
of integration. How do I supress this type of behavior ?
Example: Consider the two term expression
y=Tan[g]^2 Sin[g]^3 Cos[t]^2 + Tan[g]^3 Sin[g]^2 Sin[t]^2
Integrate[y,{t,0,a}] results in an expression in which the
trigonometric functions of g have been transformed. I would
expect Mathematica to recognize that these factors are independent of t
and simply "pull them out" from the integral. Integrating either of the
terms separately, does not result in these type of transformations.

I am looking to buy this great looking piece of equipment but my headphone socket is on the bottom front edge of my laptop (Sony Vaio). Can anyone tell me if I will still be able to access this when the laptop is on the stand. I need the headphones for my work.
It doesn't seem right to say that any Logitech wireless mouse can be used with the Alto. Certainly the wireless mouse from my Logitech Wave Pro does not work with Alto. I believe there are different frequencies of wireless connection. Exactly which mice, if any, are compatible with Alto?
I like a product called Laptop Smart Feet. They work as a riser and a cable organizer. Found them at www.newpcgadgets.com

CNN's Candy Crowley has been named a moderator of a presidential debate this fall, marking the first time in 20 years that a woman will be posing the questions.
The Commission on Presidential Debates also announced Jim Lehrer of PBS, Bob Schieffer of CBS News and Martha Raddatz of ABC News as debate moderators.
Crowley, host of State of the Union on Sunday mornings, will lob questions and set the pace for the Oct. 16 town hall-style debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney. Raddatz, senior foreign affairs correspondent for ABC News, will ask questions of Joe Biden and Paul Ryan at the Oct. 11 vice presidential debate.
It's the first time for either Crowley or Raddatz to moderate one of these high-profile debates.
Lehrer, executive editor of the NewsHour on PBS, and Schieffer, host of Face the Nation on CBS, are both presidential debate veterans. Lehrer will lead off the series as moderator of the first debate on Oct. 3, and Schieffer gets the honors during the last debate on Oct. 22.
"These journalists bring extensive experience to the job of moderating, and understand the importance of using the expanded time periods to maximum benefit," said co-chairmen Frank Fahrenkopf and Mike McCurry of the non-partisan commission. "We are grateful for their willingness to moderate, and confident the public will learn more about the candidates and the issues as a result."
Three New Jersey high school students launched an online petition to get a woman moderator this year. Carole Simpson of ABC News was the last woman to do so, and moderated a debate featuring Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Ross Perot.

The pan-Arab newspaper, Asharq Alawsa, reported that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei has personally replaced the leader of Hizbullah from his position of power due to the initiation of the summer war with Israel. Hizbullah leader, Nassan Narallah was demoted and some of his responsibilities will be assumed by his deputy, Sheikh Na'im Kassen because the Iran leader was furious that Nasrallah created a conflict with Israel that led to an invasion and serious fighting. At the same time, Hizbullah issued a strong denial of having anything to do with the assassination of General Francois al-Hajj who was supposed to become head of Lebanon's armed forces once General Michel Suleman moves on to the position of president of the nation.
It is still unclear as to the reasons for Nasrallah's demotion but apparently his Iranian bosses did not agree with the strategy of confronting Israel and having a war. American war hawks in the Bush administration will now have to come up with new excuses to claim Iran only seeks war and terrorism in the Middle East. Apparently, Iran's leadership did not seek a military confrontation with Israel and is replacing the person responsible for such action. Given this action and the recent publication of an American Intelligence report that Iran does not have nuclear weapons, it might be possible for the United States to cease its rhetoric of hate against Iran and engage in meaningful negotiations that would lead to peace in the Middle East and end of terrorism by Hizbullah and Hamas.

Rabbi Joyce Newmark
Newark, New Jersey
The Israelites are to appoint judges and officers in all their communities to insure the administration of justice.
It is forbidden to set up a sacred pillar like those used in idol worship, even if it is dedicated to God. Idolaters are to be put to death, but only after being convicted by the testimony of at least two witnesses.
There is to be a central high court to hear cases deemed too difficult for local judges. Its decisions are binding.
If and when Israel establishes a monarchy, the king must make a copy of the Torah and keep it with him at all times, for the king also is subject to God's laws.
The priests and Levites have no territory of their own and so must be supported by the agricultural dues of the members of the other tribes.
Sorcery in all its forms is forbidden. True prophets are to be obeyed, but false prophets must be put to death.
After the Israelites have conquered the land and settled in it, they are to designate three cities of refuge to which a person who commits accidental manslaughter may flee and be safe from the relatives of the person he killed. These cities will provide no safety for the intentional murderer.
Rules of war and the treatment of enemies are given. The ritual of breaking the heifer's neck - to be performed when a murder victim is found and the killer is unknown - is described.
When in your war against a city you have to besiege it a long time in order to capture it, you must not destroy its trees, wielding the ax against them. You may eat of them, but you must not cut them down. Are trees of the field human to withdraw before you into the besieged city? (Deuteronomy 20:19)
Sparks for Discussion
This verse is the source of the mitzvah prohibition known as bal tashkhit, "do not destroy.†Some of our commentators give practical reasons for this prohibition; others give theological reasons. Do you think that enlightened self-interest is a sufficient basis for "going green� How would you define Jewish environmentalism?
Then all the elders of the town nearest the corpse shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the wadi. And they shall make this declaration: "Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it done. Absolve, O Lord, Your people Israel whom You redeemed, and do not let guilt for the blood of the innocent remain among Your people Israel.†And they will be absolved of bloodguilt. (Deuteronomy 21:6-8)
The ritual of the eglah arufah implied that the community's leaders bore some responsibility for this unsolved murder, but just what were they responsible for? Did they turn away a stranger without a meal and an escort so that he became a victim or so that he became a criminal? Were they lax in prosecuting a murderer, leaving him free to kill again? Malbim suggests that the murderer was driven to kill because of his dire poverty. Do you believe that poverty causes or contributes to crime? Why do you think this ritual was abolished when murder became common?

Ed Koch, Staunch Supporter of Transit, Inadvertent Boon for Biking, Dies at 88
Former NYC Mayor Ed Koch died on the 100th birthday of Grand Central Terminal. That's a poetic coincidence, but not a random one. Koch played a crucial role in ensuring America's cathedral to public transportation lived to see its centennial celebration, fiercely advocating for its preservation first as a Congressman and then as mayor. (Here's the Grand Central Terminal preservation story told with charming archival audio).
That's just one of many of Koch's staunch stances during his three terms from 1978 - 1989 that has transit advocates heaping praise in memory of the bellicose mayor who helped pull New York out of dark times.
In fact, many of his most controversial moments have to do with transportation, including famously walking across the Brooklyn Bridge in protest of the 1980 transit workers' strike.
Though, his biggest impact on transportation may have been through a project that never was. Early in Koch's tenure, NY Governor Hugh Carey pushed for a highway megaproject known as "Westway" to put the West Side Highway underground, a plan the federal government would only fund if the mayor also signed off on it.
Koch refused until Carey promised the state would subsidize the NYC subway enough to avoid any fare increase for four years. The governor kept his word for two years, then reneged. But Koch -- with his subway loyalties -- had the last laugh.
In 1985, a legal challenge and Congressional opposition doomed the Westway project. Koch and then-governor Mario Cuomo chose not to fight to resurrect Westway and instead scrambled to "trade-in" the federal funds to be reallocated to transit, yielding more than $1 billion for subways and buses according to Gene Russianoff of the Straphangers Campaign. (See video of Koch discussing Westway below.)
The NYC Straphanger's Campaign also said in a statement of condolence to Koch's family that the former mayor inherited a subway system with ridership at the lowest level since 1917. Yet when he left office, the system was on the rise.
"Mayors have limited powers to affect subway and bus service, which is run by a State public authority. Mayor Koch used his to the fullest, employing his bully pulpit to drag public promises out of transit executives before the glare of cameras, such as improved announcements and a crackdown on subway graffiti. Under pressure from Mayor Koch, the MTA completely eliminated graffiti on subway cars in 1989, during Mayor Koch's last term in office. In the mid-1980's, Mayor Koch doubled the City's commitment to the MTA's vital five-year rebuilding program."
Inadvertently, Koch gave a boost the the NY cycling community as well: by trying to ban bikes from Midtown in 1987. What was meant as a crackdown on weaving bicycle messengers transformed hordes of casual riders into activists, or at least supporters of advocacy groups like Transportation Alternatives, which saw membership sign-ups increase ten fold. The bike ban was eventually voided over a legal technicality, but the organized bike lobby remains strong to this day.
Koch's memory has been firmly fastened to transportation with the most sturdy and standard of civic tributes: the Queensboro Bridge has been renamed the Edward Koch Queensboro Bridge. "There are other bridges that are much more beautiful like the George Washington or the Verrazano but this more suits my personality," he told WNYC, "because it's a workhorse bridge. I mean, it's always busy, it ain't beautiful, but it is durable."

NJ Farmers Anxious After March Rain
New Jersey farmers are anxious to see what the impact of the wettest March on record will be on the upcoming planting season. Farmers and agricultural officials say the next few weeks will be crucial in determining whether this year will yield successful summer crops.
State climatologist David Robinson says rainfall totals in New Jersey have exceeded all previous state records that have been kept since 1895. Robinson says farmers are dealing with muddy fields and elevated water tables as they prepare to plant in the coming weeks. Any more rain could delay or hinder early April planting. Also, melting snow from the unusually stormy winter has made soil temperatures colder than they need to be for planting.

Morgan, 30, suffered the injury against Scotland and, after missing France, was not expected to be ready for contact until the England match on 17 March.
He replaces Lee Byrne, the only change following the Paris defeat, with Chris Horsman and Mark Jones both fit.
Gareth Thomas, who is on the bench after suspension, is one of only two backs amongst the replacements.
That allows Wales coach Gareth Jenkins to name an entire front row on the bench ahead of the Stadio Flaminio challenge of the big-scrummaging Italians.
Jamie Robinson and Ceri Sweeney drop out of the match-day 22, while there is no place for Colin Charvis, despite another outstanding display in the Dragons' 13-3 win over Glasgow at Rodney Parade on Friday night.
"It's a welcome boost to us all to have someone of Kevin's calibre, in the form he is currently in, available to play," said Jenkins.
"Gareth Thomas will also strengthen the squad and he takes his place on the bench more than ready to make his return after seven weeks of no rugby.
"He's been training hard and has all the experience necessary to make an impact if called upon.
"The Italians probably have the strongest scrum in the RBS Six Nations and there is a certain amount of horses for courses in selection to reflect that.
"With only two backs on the bench we've looked at Gareth for his versatility, and both Jamie and Ceri have been unlucky."
Wales team physio Mark Davies added: "The last couple of weeks have been uncomplicated, Kevin suffered none of the potential after effects of the operation and it's fair to say his recovery has been rapid.
"He had a crack fracture through the socket of his wisdom tooth in his jawbone, the operation removed two wisdom teeth and successfully repaired the fracture.
"Kevin had been asked to avoid full-contact training during his recovery period, but has taken an active part in other sessions and has now been given the all clear to play this weekend by his surgeon."
Gavin Henson (knee injury) was ruled out of contention for the rest of the Six Nations last week, but fellow Ospreys and Wales centre Sonny Parker played a full game in his region's 30-12 win in Edinburgh, having recovered from a groin injury.
Cardiff Blues and Wales flanker Robin Sowden-Taylor made a try-scoring return from a serious ankle injury for Glamorgan Wanderers in their 35-9 win at Aberavon.
But neither he nor Parker are likely to be considered for the remainder of the Championship after such long lay-offs.
Wales team to face Italy at Rome's Stadio Flaminio (Saturday, 10 March, 1530 GMT):Kevin Morgan (Dragons); Mark Jones (Scarlets), Tom Shanklin (Blues), James Hook (Ospreys), Shane Williams (Ospreys); Stephen Jones (Scarlets, capt), Dwayne Peel (Scarlets); Gethin Jenkins (Blues), Matthew Rees (Scarlets), Chris Horsman (Worcester), Ian Gough (Dragons), Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys), Alix Popham (Scarlets), Martyn Williams (Blues), Ryan Jones (Ospreys).Replacements: Duncan Jones (Ospreys), Adam Jones (Ospreys), Rhys Thomas (Blues), Brent Cockbain (Ospreys), Jonathan Thomas (Ospreys), Mike Phillips (Blues), Gareth Thomas (Toulouse).

Positive Feedback ISSUE 5
marten design
Monk loudspeakers
as reviewed by Victor Chavira
Good things come from Sweden! I drive a 1985 Volvo 240 DL that has over 200,000 miles. Most of the furniture in my home comes from Ikea. Currently, Swedish bands like the Hives and Division of Laura Lee are invigorating the pop scene with their explosive energy. Add the Monk II loudspeakers from Marten Design in Gothenborg to the list. Marten Design has been building speakers in Sweden since 1998. Their flagship, the Coltrane, is a $40,000 technological tour de force with a carbon fiber cabinet, ceramic midrange and woofer drivers, and a manufactured diamond tweeter. The Monk is Marten's $3500 entry-level model, a stand-mounted two-way speaker featuring a seven-inch Accuton ceramic mid/woofer and a one-inch silk dome tweeter sourced from SEAS. The sturdy, 40-lb. cabinet is finished in a lovely cherry veneer with a beveled facade. The back contains a flared port and four heavy-duty WBT binding posts for bi-wiring. The most unusual aspect of this speaker is the fact that the bottom is cut at an angle, which slants the front panel and gives the Monks an elegant appearance. I set the Martens on heavy, sand-filled, 24-inch stands, and placed them away from room boundaries, with a slight toe-in.
Panel speaker users like myself are acutely aware of the boxy artifacts produced by dynamic speakers, particularly stand-mounted two-ways. From a panel user's point of view, all two-way monitors are closed in, and sorely lacking in foundation. They do many things well, but compromises must be made when designing such a small package. I have never been a fan of two-way monitors for serious listeninguntil I experienced the Marten Monks. Surprisingly, the Monks' box-like artifacts were so minor as to be inconsequential. The Monks launched music into the room with such speed and precision that this long-term panel user was awestruck. Music flashed into the air instantaneously, like lights in a darkened room. The Monks reminded me more of full-range electrostats than small box speakers. These were no typical two-ways.
The most impressive attribute of the Monks was the fact that they did not corrupt the initial harmonic event. I've been an amateur guitarist nearly all my life. Guitar is the reason I favor the Magneplanars' transient speed and low coloration. The Martens, however, made the Maggies sound slow. Listening to Adrian Legg's fleet-fingered escapades on Mrs. Crowe's Blue Waltz made me feel as if I had never heard this music before, yet it is a CD I've listened to countless times. The varied techniques the musician employ were clearly laid out. Layered strums across strings contrasted brilliantly with flurries of picked notes. The Monks consistently revealed new values in very familiar recordings.
In order to understand the Monks' incredible dynamic responsiveness, I took some time to learn more about the ceramic drivers used in all Marten speakers. Accuton claims that only diamond surpasses the stiffness-to-weight ratio of the ceramic membrane they employ. Accuton's proprietary manufacturing process produces a true ceramic membrane only 100-50 microns thick, with the hardness of sapphire. Extreme cone rigidity and hardness are needed for speed and accurate impulse response. The membrane's concave shape yields wide and uniform energy distribution. It is no wonder that the Monks' lightning-quick response reminded me of electrostats.
Unlike some electrostats, however, the Monks are capable of producing extremely powerful dynamic force, something I previously thought unattainable in a stand-mounted two-way. This discovery happened quite by accident. One evening, while my family was out, I dusted off the hard rock CDs. My usual musical fare consists of Latin Jazz and guitar, with side dishes of chamber music and pop and soundtracks for dessert. This evening, however, Government Mule, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Aerosmith ruled. I was impressed by how loudly the Monks could play. Normally, speakers of their design and price collapse when pushed hard by demanding repertoire. Distortion, compression, and beaming overwhelm the music, and listening becomes fatiguing. This was not the case with the Marten Monks. I have never heard the amazingly quick transients of bass drum so convincingly reproduced, with such power and realism, in my listening room. When guitars crunched chords and singers screeched, there was no hint of compression or glare.
Watching music and movie DVDs in my two-channel system also very enjoyable with the Monks. Calle 54 is a film by Fernando Trueba that showcases some of the finest Latin Jazz artists. The musicians are beautifully filmed, and their performances are exhilarating. The Monks accurately recreated the soundstage in which the music was filmed and recorded. Percussion was crisply rendered, and bass flowed with proper momentum. Expertly played bass and percussion are the essence of Latin Jazz, and Calle 54 is a document of masters at work. Muriel s Wedding is a small but successful Australian film in which the music of ABBA is central to the plot. Dialogue was exceptionally clear and coherent, and the music was delightful!
Classical music LPs were another pleasure when I listened to the Monks. My copy of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 by Wilhelm Kemph, on DG, sounded absolutely superb. Much of the emotional content in classical music is conveyed though dynamics. One note on the piano can evoke tenderness or tempest depending on how softly or loudly the note is played. No other stand-mounted speaker in my experience communicates the emotional tension and release of dynamics like the Marten Monks. Returning to my Magneplanar 1.6s yielded a sameness to the musical tapestry. The soundspace and tonal colors were vividly rendered as only Magneplanar speakers can, but the subtle and sometimes dramatic shifts in dynamics were largely absent.
To further illustrate the Martens' exceptionality, I listened to two other speakers in the Monk class one afternoon. The first competitors were a pair of ProAc Response 2s ($3500) belonging to a fellow PF writer, and the second were the Reynaud Offrandes ($4200), on loan from the distributor for review. Both represent their class with distinction. The ProAcs are finely focused and detailed, while the Offrandes are robust and candid. The Monks, however, were an order of magnitude more refined than either. The Monks' authoritative bass, supreme transient response, and extremely low coloration were more in line with a $5000 speaker like the JM Labs Electra 936.
In spite of their brilliance, the Marten Monks were not without minor flaws. Some recordings of female vocalists, such as the late Radka Toneff from her CD Fairytales, or Natalie Merchant, sounded very lightly veiled. An experiment in bi-wiring with my standard Analysis Plus Oval Nine on bass and the budget JPS Ultraconductors from my second system on treble took several steps towards opening up the voice. More experimentation with cabling would be necessary before I could pass final judgment in this very specific area. Another area of concern was the effect of subharmonic surface noise from LPs. Certain records from my collection made the Monks' woofers pump like a beating heart. The sight of such expensive drivers pulsating can be unsettling, but it has no effect on the sound. Of course, my Maggies do not exhibit such behavior because they do not have woofers.
Hey Rudy, put this on the record. All of it.
This quotation can be found on Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants (Prestige 7150), featuring none other than Thelonious Monk on piano. The track is "The Man I Love (Take 1)," on which Monk stops playing for several bars in the middle of his solo, much to the chagrin of Miles. The moment is priceless, the music eternal. Put this on the recordthe Marten Monks are exceptional speakers in every way. Their wide bandwidth, transparency, and electrostatic musical attributes make them worthy of their namesake. Monk would be proud. Victor Chavira
Coming in the next issue will be a follow-up review by Chip Stern!

Boy do I have a great recipe to share with you today. This recipe is adapted from Unplugged Baking by Nicole Rees.
As I was flipping through the pages of Baking Unplugged I came upon this specific recipe – Brownie Scones, as you probably guessed… the flipping immediately stopped and the reading began!
The first eight words on that page were all I needed to read before I started pulling ingredients out of the pantry.
"This is my favorite recipe in the book."
The texture of these scones is not as fuddgie as a brownie nor as heavy as a traditional scone. They are in fact much lighter, yet they are full of flavor! They are the perfect scone for a chocolate lover.
Brownie Scones
adapted from Unplugged Baking by Nicole Rees
Serves 8
4 oz unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 large egg
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, mini chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream, to brush tops
sugar for sprinkling
chocolate chunks, to top scones (optional)
1. In a double broiler melt the unsweetened chocolate and set aside to cool.
2. Slice butter into 1 inch cubes place it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
3. In a small bowl whist together the egg, 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream, molasses and vanilla extract and set aside.
4. In a large bowl whisk together the flours, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder salt, and instant espresso.
5. Remove the butter from the freezer, using a pastry blender cut the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a fine crumb texture.
6. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients, then add the melted choclate. Carefully stir the ingredients with a fork until just barely incorporated. Finally stir in the chocolate chips making sure you don't over mix.
7. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
8. Roll the dough over a floured surface into the shape of two 5 inch squares about 1/2 inches high, then slice into 4 triangles by cutting them at an angle.
9. Brush the tops with the 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar.
10. Bake about 15 minutes. Serve them warm or let them cool on a wire rack and store.
Note: As a result of me getting side tracked by my need to top at least just a few of my scones with chocolate chunks, I totally forgot to sprinkle them with sugar after topping them with heavy cream.
Oh, and I have no idea what happened to the missing piece off that scone…

Barack Obama: The Nobel Peace Prize Winner Who's Bombed 7 Countries
WASHINGTON — As the United States renews a bombing campaign against ISIS forces in Syria, it seems like America's penchant for waging war knows no bounds. During the first seven years of Barack Obama's presidency, the U.S. bombed seven countries while supporting other destabilizing military actions throughout the Middle East.
Here's a look at these seven countries and the effects of bombing:
- Afghanistan — Despite the announced "end" of the Afghanistan War, significant U.S. military presence in Afghanistan remains. Drones are a frequent presence in Afghan skies. One strike earlier this month killed 12 people, according to Iran's PressTV.
- Iraq — The Obama administration has conducted over 5,000 airstrikes in Iraq and Syria in just the past year, David Lerman reported for Bloomberg Business. Despite ongoing U.S. military involvement, terrorism continues to be a deadly presence in Iraq's cities.
- Libya — While the European Union and its allies carried out many of the airstrikes during Libya's civil war, the U.S. was instrumental in destabilizing that country through both military aid and direct support, especially during the lead up to Gen. Moammar Gadhafi's overthrow in 2011. Now ISIS is also gaining a stronghold here and the country has been described as a failed state.
- Pakistan — Drone strikes are also frequent in Pakistan, where the Bureau of Investigative Journalism estimated that only 4 percent of the victims could be identified as al-Qaida members. Although drone strikes on Pakistan began under George W. Bush, their frequency has dramatically increased under Obama, RT reported last year.
- Somalia — Over 100 U.S. troops have been stationed in Somalia since 2007, Reuters reported last year. In September, the U.S. again carried out airstrikes there, apparently killing Ahmed Abdi Godane, leader of the extremist group Al-Shabaab, which the U.S. claimed was allying with al-Qaida.
- Syria — The U.S. renewed its bombing campaign against ISIS in Syria earlier this month, with U.S. war planes taking off from bases in Turkey. Airstrikes were also used in a failed attempt to defend "Division 30," the failed American attempt to train so-called "moderate" Syrian rebels.
- Yemen — U.S. cables revealed by WikiLeaks show that Yemeni officials have allowed airstrikes, which began under George W. Bush, to continue under the Obama administration. RT reported last year:
"US bombing raids in Yemen are almost solely carried out by drones and they have been increasing in intensity in recent years. … A report by Human Rights Watch in 2013 analyzed six airstrikes in Yemen carried out since 2009. The organization found that out of the 82 people who died in the airstrikes, 57 were civilians.
In all, the U.S. has bombed 14 predominantly Muslim countries since 1980. The death toll from all modern wars in the Middle East may be as high as 4 million dead Muslims and Arabs. Repeated military campaigns have destabilized the Middle East, giving rise to terror groups like ISIS, allowing for sectarianism to blossom, and necessitating further bombing, in what Ron Fullwood, writing for MyMPN, called a "perpetual protection racket."
Watch "How many countries in total has the US bombed under President Obama?" from RT America:

The tunesmiths of Tin Pan Alley had an expression way back when: "the old grey whistle test". If you played your song to the grey-clad doorman and he liked it, you had a hit on your hands. The people behind the long-running BBC music show of that name were proper musos—with all the baggage that entails—and the rather opaque title was exactly the kind of reference they'd appreciate. Whistle Test (or OGWT) may have disappeared from British screens in 1987 as a new wave of young pretenders took to the stage, but its lasting place in pop culture has been explored by a new BBC Radio 2 series. Each programme devotes a full hour to a year of the show's history, featuring archive audio and new performances from relevant acts.
After the brief tenure of original presenter, Melody Maker features editor Richard Williams, the face of OGWT became the iconic 'Whispering' Bob Harris, who's also presenting the radio tribute. His earnest, hippyish demeanour was an easy target for pastiche, and was clearly the inspiration behind The Fast Show's jazz-loving Louis Balfour, while the chinstroking, head-nodding approach associated with the show has passed into pop cultural lore. Harris's distaste for the new sounds of the late '70s led to his departure in 1978, with his replacement, Annie Nightingale, felt to be a more suitable host. The show continued into the '80s, with a number of different presenters, until it petered out into mid-evening irrelevance before its eventual cancellation.
The show's sparse, cramped sets and hushed atmosphere meant that musicians stood or fell on their own charisma. Antediluvian though Harris's tastes were felt to be by punk fans, his era saw a range of memorable performances from the likes of Bowie, Bill Withers and Roxy Music. Later series featured appearances by Public Image Limited, a magnificently wired and frenetic Talking Heads and John Foxx's Ultravox at their peak with 1978's 'Hiroshima Mon Amour'. As someone once said, 'Nice'.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX may open lower, dragged by UK data, Chinese growth fears
March 12 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index looked set to open lower as investor sentiment fell on disappointing UK data and fears of a slowdown in Chinese growth.
* Intense lobbying by central government agencies and debt-laden local governments is keeping People's Bank of China hawks in check after inflation jumped to a 10-month high, forcing the central bank to keep its monetary policy setting in neutral.
* British manufacturing output fell in January at the fastest pace since June, reinforcing fears that the economy has tipped into its third recession since the 2008 financial crisis.
* The euro zone crisis is not over, France is slipping on reforms and the Bundesbank has set aside billions in new provisions for what it sees as risky European Central Bank moves, Germany's central bank said.
* Copper miner Antofagasta sought to brush off investor worries about its growth options with a better-than-expected 2012 payout and special dividend, as profits ticked higher despite lower copper prices.
* Canadian employers are likely to keep adding jobs in the second quarter but at a slightly slower pace than in the first quarter, with the highest growth in the transportation and utilities sectors, according to a survey.

On Sundays, parents and children are able to spend time with each other. Schools are closed on this day. According to the EU Directive on the Protection of Young People at Work, Sunday is already the acknowledged weekly rest day for children and adolescents in the EU. Likewise, extensive or irregular working time arrangements make it difficult to impossible for workers to enjoy a proper family life and to reconcile work with duties towards children and other dependents.
Read the Founding Statement in all EU languages
A judgement by the Bavarian Administrative Court declared that shops in the central area of Munich may not open on Sunday during the festival celebrating the foundation of the city.
In France, employees will be guaranteed a right to disconnect and freedom from checking emails outside normal working hours.
In Münster, Westphalia, Germany, 300 000 residents voted against further opening of shops on specific Sundays of the year.

We're not exaggerating when we say that we think Glasgow is one of the most exciting cities you'll ever come across. Scotland's largest city is a lively, bustling place, distinctive and full of character, where you are bound to get a very warm welcome indeed.
A cultural smorgasbord
Perhaps one of the most enjoyable things to do in Glasgow is to simply look up and feast your eyes on the city's mix of striking architecture styles as you wander around. But if it's a day to be indoors, then you're in luck, because there are fascinating museums, diverse art galleries and creative spaces aplenty!
Fancy a splurge?
It's hard to resist the allure of Glasgow's many, many shops - it's one of the best shopping destinations outside of London. Enjoy perusing floors and floor of the latest trends in high street and designer retailers, or browse for second hand and one-off pieces in quirky vintage and boutique stores.
Have a night to remember
Glasgow knows how to do nightlife. It can be tough deciding where your evening will take you - sometimes, the best nights happen when you don't make any plans.
Explore the top restaurants and eateries of the city's diverse culinary scene, and then maybe unwind with a drink in the establishment of your preference - cosy pub, whisky or cocktail bar, or an ambient late-night venue? Or, see what's on and get tickets for a gig, or catch a theatre performance. Decisions, decisions!

See you later, alligator
If I were a betting dog and you asked me to choose sides in the battle of the gator vs. the retiree, I would pick the gator every time.
Most of the time I'd be right.
Then comes Mr. Gustafson, the Fla. retiree who, according to news reports, gave it good to a 7-foot-long alligator that was trying to turn his terrier into tapas.
Mr. G. was working in the yard and heard a terrible yelp from his dog, Bounce, who had been sniffing around the edge of a pond in the back yard. He turned around to see the hungry gator pulling Bounce into the pond.
That's when Mr. G. went all Crocodile Hunter on the gator. He managed to submerge the beast and free his pup, who is fine.
Man's best friend finds a dog's best friend in Mr. G.
And what happened to the gator? You can read about that here.

crankshaft sensor(help please)
4 Attachment(s)
ok i had my 1999 bmw 323is at autozone and they pulled up the codes for it. one of the codes was for the crankshaft sensor. had my mech pull the old one out. advance or autzone didn't have it or could they get it cause the ones they sell don't have the wire with them. i bought a crankshaft sensor off of ebay but it looks like the ends don't match up. have pics to show. what i want to know is will the new one work. here's how the pics go. old part,new part,old part,new part.
The only difference I see is the bolt ring on the first pic. Something you should remove and install to the new one!
come to find out that the part they sent me was the cam shaft sensor not the crankshaft sensor. so does does anyone know where i can get the crankshaft sensor besides going to the the dealer
partsgeek.com a crank shaft sensor is around 40 for a oem. They are around 20 for a non oem. Thats where I get all my parts from their prices are very good.
Use genuine BMW or risk early fail.
check with forum sponsors. oembimmerparts, FCP, tischer
pelican parts, ecs tuning, tischer, etc.
Get OEM only
thanks for the websites but i have one problem. those are the sensors i need but i need the wire that would go to it. if you look at the pics i have up they are hard wired in the sensor. i get the the crankshft sensor at any parts store where i live but they can't get the pigtail
The genuine BMW crankshaft sensor for the '99 323is is:
12141709616 $96.57
BMW also recommends installing these additional parts to go with the sensor:
Adapter lead 12514592703 $22.77
O-ring 12141748398 $0.86

Erin Kunkel Seasons Her Photography with Smoke & Spice
March 1, 2013
Erin Kunkel is an award-winning advertising and editorial photographer based, as she likes to say, in the foggy outer lands of San Francisco. Kunkel has a painter's eye for color, light, and composition, which is evident in the more than 25 cookbooks she has photographed.
Recently Kunkel worked with well-known Los Angeles-based cookbook author, food stylist and chef Valerie Aikman-Smith on a new cookbook, entitled Smoke & Spice. The two developed a great rapport on an earlier cookbook for Williams-Sonoma with Weldon Owen Publishing and wanted to work together again. Aikman-Smith sent Kunkel's work to Art Director Leslie Harrington at London-based publisher Ryland, Peters & Small and the two were given the green light for this latest collaboration of Smoke & Spice. "I was very lucky to find Erin. I needed a California-based photographer to take this project and really get to grips with it in order to bring something special to the feel and style. We really wanted a loose, natural style and Erin grabbed the project and ran with it," says Harrington.
With Smoke & Spice, Kunkel and Aikman-Smith put their focus on an array of marinades, brines, butters, rubs, and glazes that add flavor to cooking, whether outside on the grill or in the kitchen. They wrote about and photographed over 90 recipes for the matching of seasonings with foods from around the world to create new flavors as well as standard favorites. Kunkel's mouthwatering photography included inspirations for sticky smoky baby back ribs and blackberry, beef with an African rub, sage glazed ham, marinade options for lamb with pomegranate and harissa seasonings, Jamaican Jerk chicken and fresh grilled fish and seafood with flavored butters. They also included many vegetarian options and recipes for tempting desserts.
As the publisher was based in London, Kunkel did not have the advantage of pre-production meetings or an art director on set, so she had to rely on her own initiative. It was all about collaborating with Aikman-Smith, and prop stylist Jennifer Barguiarena, who brought a fantastic array of props to the sets. "It is rare to find people with whom it is so effortless and intuitive to communicate and work," says Kunkel.
Kunkel shot at Aikman-Smith's house in Los Angeles, and with its incredible light she was able to capture the dramatic changes from the first shoot in the spring to the final shoot in September. "I definitely worked to modify the light so there was some consistency throughout the book. We wanted to show some environment and maintain looseness in the shots, so we moved around as there are tons of locations on the property. We also took field trips to friend's houses to shoot in their gardens and yards, and needed to be adaptable with lighting and propping," explains Kunkel. With their props and sets, they were also able to bring in lifestyle elements to give a sense of place and narrative to the recipes. Kunkel shot tethered with a Canon 5D Mark III in a tabletop area, but then would take almost all dishes and ingredients to shoot elsewhere on the property. All the images were shot with available light and various silks, scrims and cutters to modify the light.
The photographs in eSmoke & Spice are natural and authentic— nothing fussy or overwrought. Says, AD Harrington, "Not only is the photography beautiful, she understood exactly what we wanted and brought that extra magic to the shots. Erin is also a delight to work with, prepared to give the project all the attention and dedication that is required but with a lovely, easy going attitude. "
Smoke & Spice will be published in March 2013 by Ryland, Peters & Small, and you can find more information about ordering and pricing for the book here. Kunkel and Aikman-Smith are working on some collaborative promotional pieces and are already planning another book.
Kunkel infuses her work with a sense of adventure both in the faraway and the everyday. She captures lifestyle, food and travel with an effortless sophistication that puts her in demand with both advertising and editorial clients. You can see more of Erin Kunkel's photographic journey's at her site, www.erinkunkel.com.

Which brings me to my point. Let me preface this by saying, I'm not the "blogger police," but just wanted to post a little blogger etiquette.
which led me to Tumblr, Would You Like to Swing on a Star,
which led me to The Life is a Rose,
which led me to princess-queen-v. Then nothing.
That's right. No photo credit for this lovely image.
- There are all sorts of legal and copyright rules for the internet. Some of which you can read about here on this informative post.
- How many times have you read a blog with numerous images and there are absolutely no image or link credits? Frustrating? Very. I frequently find something I'd like to view or purchase with no trace of where the image originated from.
- When you post images that you do not own, you should always credit the photographer if you possibly can. It is their art, not yours. You should also credit the source of the information (where you found it), and any sources that they have named. So, if you found the image on another blog or website, at least credit them with a link back to their site/blog. It's only fair.
- An interesting quote..."Tumblr is the place where copyrights and credits go to die." - Door Sixteen
- I know we bloggers frequently stumble upon random images on the internet with no credits at all. What to do then? I'm not really sure how to answer that one. Perhaps do a little more research. At the very least, make an effort to try and find the credit for it.
I realize that there is no way to control the vast world of the internet. It's like the Wild West. But, it sure would be nice if we try and give credit to people's images when we can. If I was a photographer, I'd certainly watermark my images!
I hope I don't sound "preachy" as I'm definitely not the authority of the blogging world. Just wanted to share some thoughts.
