Thanks for letting me know, as the provider did not! No worries, it's just 
an ongoing hosting change in view of a major website re-design.
I'm going to re-load the old website on the new Linux hosting as soon as

On the weather reports it is nearly always the far colder than any

There was a flaw with the Dust Jacket, however.  It was noticeably
oversized in height which meant I had to trim off a 5mm wide strip.  A
minor problem but one that shouldn't have happened.

(As a postscript - the fact that the book was printed in Australia

Quoting Mark C pdml-m...@charter.net:

I've been away for a while, and along the way I spent a few days in  
St. Louis, MO where I had the chance to tour their very nice zoo.  
Here are are few snaps:


http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/blog6.php/2012/07/01/zoo-snaps

Except for the accidental IR shot, all were taken with the K5 and an  
older (non-DG version) Sigma 135-400 f4.5-5.6 APO zoom. This proved  
to be an ideal zoom for the zoo, with 135mm being a little too long  
in just one or two situations. The K5's high ISO ability and in body  
IS was also a great asset. The owl shot was taken handheld inside an  
aviary at ISO 1600, no flash,  1/45th of a second at 400mm and still  
came out pretty sharp - great testament to the in body IS!




A really enjoyable set.  I especially like the zebra and the owl with  
perfect balance

Re: Mini-GESO: Club Characters (3 photos)

On 6/25/2012 12:56 PM, Walt Gilbert wrote:

Hi all,

A while back, Larry suggested I take photos of folks who frequent the 
club where I work. So, I decided to take his suggestion and start 
snapping photos of them as the opportunity presents itself. These were 
shot with my K20D, which still had my Promaster 70-300 -- an absurdly 
long focal length for the size of the room, but it's what I had on the 
camera when I grabbed it at the last second and headed out the door on 
Thursday.


http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157630283469490/

The first is Bob -- an exceedingly eccentric fellow whose real name 
is Charlie, but who has several alter-egos which seem to based solely 
on what he happens to have on his head that given day, be it a 
trucker's cap (Steve), a straw hat (Charlie), or the thoroughly 
bedraggled hairpiece he's seen wearing in this image. (The ZipLock 
bag-as-shirt-pocket is a common accoutrement among all the alter-egos, 
BTW.)


The second shot is of Ronnie -- one of the trustees down at the club. 
As you can see, he's a little bit skeptical of having his photo taken, 
but he's a good sport.


The final image is of a gentleman named Jimmie Moore -- a retired 
union electrician whose DNA will likely be preserved by some society 
dedicated to human longevity. He'll be 79 years old this year and gets 
around better than I do, isn't much of a guitar player or singer, but 
one hell of an entertainer. The man can hold forth uninterrupted for 
hours reeling off toast after ribald poem after filthy limerick to the 
delight of the entire room.


The guitar he's playing in the image is a 1957 Gibson J50 that was 
given to him in three pieces by a friend and one-time club member 
whose uncle had fallen on it in a highly drunken state. That member 
has since passed away, and Jimmie decided to take it to a local guitar 
maker to see if anything could be done with it. The guy managed to put 
it back together after hand-making a few pieces and adding a good deal 
of TLC in the process.


So there you have it. A long-winded explication for three photos. 
Comments and critiques are welcome.

All of the craftspeople are actually making things.  In fact, they currently 
make all of the furniture, carpentry, and bricks for Colonial Williamsburg's 
taverns and reconstructions.  When they produce more than CW needs, it's sold 
(for a fancy price).

This guy, as I recall, was making a chair for one of the taverns.

Prep for UK pics

2012-07-03 Thread Christine Aguila

Hi Gang:

I think I'm going to upgrade to Lightroom 4 this morning, then I'll have to 
replace one of my external drives this afternoon--then follow that with some 
photo organization management before downloading the pics from our trip.

I think it's going to take a bit of time to get pics posted to the list, but 
there will be some great group PDML shots from all PDMLers.  The shot Chris 
just posted is just one of the many fun group shots to come.  Love the photo, 
Chris!!!  

I was in a real rut photographically before the trip, but it should come as no 
surprise that the trip rejuvenated my eye a bit.  

Except for our trek up north, I used the 21mm exclusively.  Some cropping might 
be necessary for a few of the shots, but other then that, the 21mm worked 
wonderfully.  I did take the 40 pancake, put it on once when we headed into a 
pub, but never got any shots off--too busy gabbing, eatting, and drinking.  The 
DA*50-135mm worked beautifully up north for the landscapes, but I'm not so good 
at landscape, so we'll see how those shots turn out.  

Darrel and I traveled really light; one backpack each and a small camera kit 
for me: K5, 21, 40, 50-135 and some memory cards.  I took the iPad but no 
laptop, and I could have left the iPad home.  The iPad wasn't a burden to 
carry, and if I had had the inclination to process photos at night, it would 
have worked wonderfully, but despite being out of traveling shape, Darrel and I 
walked and walked everyday, which meant we crashed when returning to the B  B 
at night. The phone, however, was the key piece of the technology. The iPhone 4 
doesn't have international calling capabilities, but with free wifi in the B  
Bs, I was able to communicate fairly easily at night via email --then, of 
course, there was Starbuck's at most destinations when in route.  

For our next trip, I hope to have the DA* 55, DA 21, DA* 50-135.  There were 
times in urban areas when I wished for a bit of length.  Obviously, I could 
have put the 50-135 mm on, but lately, when, shooting in urban areas, I prefer 
a prime; I feel the photographer blends in better with the flow of activity.  
That 50-135 is a big honking lens, though it does take some great photos, but 
the DA*55 should prove to be a great alternative.

I think I'll post small galleries instead of 1 large gallery.  Darrel and I 
were on the move every two days for a total of 12 days, so lots of pics to go 
through.

It's morning here and I'm going through a bit of a *full English* withdrawal.  

Cheers, Christine

Peso: NMR, Vermeer, and the Broken Tube

2012-07-03 Thread Steven Desjardins
The autosampler on our NMR (like an MRI but with a smaller hole) has
broken a few sample tubes in the past week, and this is a huge
nuisance because we need to remove a big piece of sensitive tech to
clean it out.  I was trying to take pictures with the Q to send to the
company, but when I got too close the LCD would just lose the picture
but still show the info, just like when the lens cap is still on.  I
guess the magnetic field just affects the sensor?  Anyway, since the
field has a funny shape I moved back and around until I could get some
shots.  The first is the magnet with a lovely Vermeer print on the
back wall:

http://drd1135.smugmug.com/Photography/pdml/i-djRXqM4/0/L/NMR-L.jpg

and this is the autosampler from above (a dimple in the magnetic
field) showing the broken tube

http://drd1135.smugmug.com/Photography/pdml/i-DtgkTpk/0/L/broken-tube-L.jpg

I also missed the bottom step of the ladder after taking this and made
a less than graceful dismount.:-o

PESO - PAD - Top 5 Lessons Learned and moving on...

2012-07-03 Thread George Sinos
This is the wrap up of the “Print-a-Day for 30 Days” Project.

http://georges.posterous.com/top-5-lessons-learned-from-the-print-a-day-fo

Thanks for all of the feedback and thanks for being patient with me
filling up the list the last few weeks.  Even though the project was
interesting and I learned a lot, I may not have had the discipline to
keep up the daily regimen if I hadn't added the public posting
component.

I've also been working on a photo project documenting St. Bridget's
Church. This is one of several beautiful churches in town.  I suspect
this project is going to keep me busy for the next several months.  I
started laying out the book yesterday. That helped solidify the
remaining work so I could build a work schedule.

There are a few experimental and candidate shots with descriptive text
from an existing brochure in the link below.  This gallery just
scratches the surface.  There are 14 major stained glass windows, each
with a different liturgical symbolism.  There are about 70 items on
the shot list.  Given that I can only shoot a few on each visit, this
is going to take a while.

 A few nights ago a friend stopped by with his Nikon D800.  He

 http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/diffraction-photography.htm/

 They do have some interesting stuff in there, that I'll definitely
 need to go and re-read, such as how the anti-aliasing filter affects
 all of this.  Although I'm beginning to suspect that as resolution
 increases, diffraction and lens issues will soon render anti-aliasing
 as unneeded.  If we're sampling at twice the diffraction limit, or
 the lenses resolution, do we really need an AA filter?

 If I had more skill with a spreadsheet, it would be interesting to
 graph out diffraction limit vs resolution on different sensor sizes.
 It would also be interesting to see where various lenses  fall in
 sharpness.  I.e. on my K-5 with my FA77, when does the lens, the
 sensor or diffraction limit resolution?

 The more I learn about photography, and what is required to maximize
 the technical quality of my photos, the more tempted I am to just
 quit worrying about how sharp they are, and just have fun taking
 snapshots.

 Beautiful in every way. The water jets also mask the background nicely.

Thanks.

That's true about the water jets I think, and I'm going to make use of
that again sometime--hopefully soon. I was scouting for a potential
model shoot location but I was having trouble seeing this spot work
because of all the busy-ness going on around and behind. Certainly I
can shoot with a really wide aperture, but that makes nailing focus so
much harder. I think waiting for the jets to get to the right
arc-height will be the answer. I was standing pretty much right on top
of them when I got this shot.

Thank you very much Brian, and everyone else who looked. Even you,
Igor. Run-walk indeed. ;-)

I have brought cameras up to the instruments in my facility many times
and never seen any effects on the image/sensor.  However, I never went
above or below the bore and that is where the strongest fringing
fields are present.  Sorry to hear about your sample changer problems.
 I do not have any JEOL equipment so I have no advice other than to
say that samples changers on these things can be a PIA.

That's a great subject and a beautiful old church (for the New World).
Have you thought of making vertical pano's of the stained glass windows?

Are you doing this for a church brochure or what.

Nice work.  Although I've not been a regular commenter, I've been 
following your project closely and read your conclusions with interest.


I've not noticed the boosting of the blues and greens in my printing.  I 
wonder if the make/model of printer could also have some effect on this.


One very useful feature of LR4, in addition to all the improvements in 
the process engine, is the soft proofing.  Tweaking the image in the 
soft proofing mode has given me a much better match between display and 
output.


Like I said, a fun project to follow...thanks for sharing.

Christine, make sure you upgrade to 4.1 immediately after installing

 For our next trip, I hope to have the DA* 55, DA 21, DA* 50-135.  There were

 put the
 50-135 mm on, but lately, when, shooting in urban areas, I prefer a prime; I 
 feel
 the photographer blends in better with the flow of activity.  That 50-135 is a
 big honking lens, though it does take some great photos, but the DA*55 should
 prove to be a great alternative.

I 100% agree about the DA*55 vs 50-135 for walking around. The 50-135
impresses and/or scares people and their attitude changes. The DA*55,
even with its hood on, is low-key enough that it attracts minimal
attention. Except from fellow Pentax shooters. :-)

Looking forward to seeing your GESOs and PESOs.

That is a fine start you have made on documenting St Brigid's Church.
How old is it?  It is certainly a lovely facility.

I am interested in following this project.  My church in New Jersey is
preparing for its 300th anniversary in 2014, although the current
church building was constructed only in 1750.  I am considering
trying to make a small photo booklet of the church building for the
anniversary.  Fortunately, since it is a Lutheran church, it is much
plainer inside and out than St Brigid's;  for example, there are only
two stained glass windows and a few etched windows.  Still, I will be
watching what you do and stealing some ideas if you don't mind.  G

Hi all,

A while back, Larry suggested I take photos of folks who frequent the 
club where I work. So, I decided to take his suggestion and start 
snapping photos of them as the opportunity presents itself. These 
were shot with my K20D, which still had my Promaster 70-300 -- an 
absurdly long focal length for the size of the room, but it's what I 
had on the camera when I grabbed it at the last second and headed out 
the door on Thursday.


http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/sets/72157630283469490/

The first is Bob -- an exceedingly eccentric fellow whose real name 
is Charlie, but who has several alter-egos which seem to based solely 
on what he happens to have on his head that given day, be it a 
trucker's cap (Steve), a straw hat (Charlie), or the thoroughly 
bedraggled hairpiece he's seen wearing in this image. (The ZipLock 
bag-as-shirt-pocket is a common accoutrement among all the 
alter-egos, BTW.)


The second shot is of Ronnie -- one of the trustees down at the club. 
As you can see, he's a little bit skeptical of having his photo 
taken, but he's a good sport.


The final image is of a gentleman named Jimmie Moore -- a retired 
union electrician whose DNA will likely be preserved by some society 
dedicated to human longevity. He'll be 79 years old this year and 
gets around better than I do, isn't much of a guitar player or 
singer, but one hell of an entertainer. The man can hold forth 
uninterrupted for hours reeling off toast after ribald poem after 
filthy limerick to the delight of the entire room.


The guitar he's playing in the image is a 1957 Gibson J50 that was 
given to him in three pieces by a friend and one-time club member 
whose uncle had fallen on it in a highly drunken state. That member 
has since passed away, and Jimmie decided to take it to a local 
guitar maker to see if anything could be done with it. The guy 
managed to put it back together after hand-making a few pieces and 
adding a good deal of TLC in the process.


So there you have it. A long-winded explication for three photos. 
Comments and critiques are welcome.


-- Walt


Interesting cast of characters. The photo of Bob really stands out...

Mark



Thanks, Mark.

I'm going to try to get shots of all his alter-egos. I got one of 
Steve the other night (the one who wears an inside-out ball cap), and 
am trying to see if I can turn it into a decent image. I have to time 
all of my shots of him meticulously, as he has this annoying habit of 
closing his eyes and smiling when he spots me pointing the camera at him.

Re: PESO - PAD - Top 5 Lessons Learned and moving on...

2012-07-03 Thread George Sinos
Hi Paul -

I abbreviated the notes on the electric blues because the post was
already way too long.  Here's what I think is the cause.  I could be
way wrong.

As a result of some reading on Luminous-Landscape, Cambridge Color
Labs and a book on color management,  when I switched to Lightroom 4 I
also set the default color space to ProPhoto, since it's the biggest
color space generally available.  I'm still not convinced this is
needed, because you can't see all of the colors on your monitor or
printer.  The theory in the books and articles is keep everything in
the largest color space possible because you can always convert down,
but not back up.

My personal concern with this is that it really doesn't make any
difference with raw files because color space is assigned after the
fact.  When you store the raw file it's independent of color space.
This advice might come from the time when people were mainly working
with TIFFs, PSDs, or JPGs.  In those formats, when you assign a color
space you've baked it in.

So, here's what I think is happening.  I'm editing in ProPhoto and
looking at it on an sRGB monitor that can't display what I'm actually
doing to all of the colors.  Boosting the saturation of the blue sky
looks great on the screen.  But, on the monitor, you can't see all of
the blues that will print on the ink jet printer.

Then when I print in Adobe1998, the previously invisible blues show up
as a nuclear sky.

And you're right - turning on the soft-proofing changes the highlight
warning to out-of-gamut warning and shows you where you're going to be
in trouble.

I guess if you want to solve this by throwing money at it, there are a
couple of wide gamut monitors out there that actually display
Adobe1998.  Given that the two I have seen have commas in the price
tag, I'll stick with the out-of-gamut warning for now.

 I've not noticed the boosting of the blues and greens in my printing.  I
 wonder if the make/model of printer could also have some effect on this.

 One very useful feature of LR4, in addition to all the improvements in the
 process engine, is the soft proofing.  Tweaking the image in the soft
 proofing mode has given me a much better match between display and output.

 Like I said, a fun project to follow...thanks for sharing.

Re: PESO - PAD - Top 5 Lessons Learned and moving on...

2012-07-03 Thread George Sinos
Hi Dan -

This church was built in 1927.  At that time the parish was about 50
years old.  As you can guess, that part of town was pretty heavily
populated at the time.  In fact South Omaha was a separate city from
Omaha at that time.  There were so many Catholics in that part of town
that there were many crowded parishes, each with their own church, and
many with their own schools.

Times have changed.  In the 60's the Interstate Highway was built
through that part of town.  That displaced a large part of the
population to other parts of the city.  The economic mixture of the
city has also changed and the people in that area are fewer and less
affluent.  This leaves the church with several facilities that they
can't afford to keep.  Over the next couple of years, it looks like
about five of the churches will be closed.  (Keep in mind, these
churches are only a few blocks apart.) The disposition of the
buildings isn't known at this time.

St. Bridget's is slated to survive because of it's size and location.
I think that's a good thing because it's one of the most beautiful.
On a personal note, it was where I went to grade school.

My aunt still lives in the neighborhood and is on the team of women
that clean and decorate the church.  She mentioned that there had been
some minor damage to the windows after a hail storm.  That started my
train of thought about getting a few photos of the place.

When I called the pastor I was surprised to find that he's the older
brother of an old buddy from grade school and had grown up a few
houses down the street from me.  We got to talking.  So, getting
photos of this particular church has turned into a bigger project.

I've been there three times so far and have enough photos to get
started on the layout of a book.  I'm glad I started doing that early
in the project, because I can take the photos with the book layout in
mind.  That will reduce the amount of stuff that needs to be re-shot.

I'm also trying to get started on getting some basic photos of all the
churches that may be closed.  It would be a shame if they were closed
without having some visual record.

After managing large projects for the last 30 years I shouldn't have
been surprised by how much time this takes.  The days of churches
being left unlocked all day are long gone due to theft and vandalism.
I need to schedule each visit so someone is there to let me in.
Post-processing and book layout.  Like I said, I think it's going to
take a few months.

It's a good thing I'm semi-retired.

See you later, gs

 interesting and I learned a lot, I may not have had the discipline to

 component.

 I've also been working on a photo project documenting St. Bridget's
 Church. This is one of several beautiful churches in town.  I suspect
 this project is going to keep me busy for the next several months.  I
 started laying out the book yesterday. That helped solidify the
 remaining work so I could build a work schedule.

The second link is for the whole slideshow. Probably only real dog

Well we disagree on favorites - 5048 is my choice - tells the story and 
captured a great expression too.


Others I think are especially nice are 6076,4934,4736,5076,6364 (despite 
tech flaws) 6469 -- oh Im getting number crazy here..

I think you have about 10 really nice ones and the others are
too cluttered or too dark.  But the expressions you captured when they 
were on are wonderful.  IT's fun how eager they all are to please,
except for a couple who seem to be saying they could do with out the 
wwhole thing.


be good to edit the shots down to the best photographically, as opposed 
to which doggie you like best.. wish there was a nice index thumbnail 
thing .


I did go through all as I like critters in general and enjoy watching 
the Westminster, even though more a cat person.

I think they were just starting out when I was there.

There were some exhibits about the culture, but mostly it was just the 
mounds. I think the steps on Monk's Mound might have already been built. 
I remember some kind of steps going up one of the mounds.


There's a Mississippian site in North Carolina at Town Creek. That's 
what attracted me to Cahokia when I saw it. Their culture spread over 
700 miles away into what is now the southern Piedmont of North Carolina.

Re: I also got a book today

I haven't seen the hard copy yet, but yes, I think there are more
photographers this year too... not as many photogs with two shots
in the main section.. like you, one of mine turned up in an unexpected 
place.


I tried hunting for cormys but it was hard to do that on line...
sort of like finding Nina in the Hirshfield drawings in the NY times
Arts section on Sundays - back in the day.

It's 10:15 p.m. Chicago time, and Darrel  I just finished unpacking
from our glorious U.K. trip.  There just aren't enough superlatives to
describe the beautiful trip we had visiting our UK PDMLers.  I shall

Re: OT - Stayin' Alive (you'll smile at this!)

2012-07-03 Thread Ann Sanfedele

I thought I'd hate this -- figured it would be disrespecting
Hayworth and Frank and Gene - but I loved it too... watching it
I saw every one of those movies the clips are from multiple times,
The first live action movie I saw was My Gal Sal  staring Rita
when I was 5 - I wanted to grow up to be her.  that would have
not been a good choice, as it turns out. And Gene Kelly - well
I saw all his musicals from the 40's and 50's at the very least
10 times each...

from this vid, the music grossed me out - so I turned off the sound. 
They did get the beat right very nicely, but not a fan of that song..


Wonder if all these cuts are now public domain? or was permission given 
by the studio?

His face also has a prickly porcine look to it. A refreshing change from the 
locals here, all of whom have shirts and ties with Tabasco bottles on them.

Reminds me of an old gentleman down here who would show up to barbecues and 
festivals with a trailer that cooked and smoked Boston Butt. Of course, all 
of the ladies kept kidding the old guy about how much they loved his butt.

 Except for the accidental IR shot, all were taken with the K5 and an older
 (non-DG version) Sigma 135-400 f4.5-5.6 APO zoom. This proved to be an ideal
 zoom for the zoo, with 135mm being a little too long in just one or two
 situations. The K5's high ISO ability and in body IS was also a great asset.
 The owl shot was taken handheld inside an aviary at ISO 1600, no flash,
 1/45th of a second at 400mm and still came out pretty sharp - great
 testament to the in body IS!

 So that is now reflected in the title.

 The new title is also meant to be a bit more of a play (albeit in English)

Peso - before and after

Well, two pesos - the first on  I posted a few days ago.. but here it is 
again for reference:

BEFORE -
http://annsan.smugmug.com/On-the-Road-or-On-Foot/2012-and-all-that/21847075_D88Ngw/1/1921825843_TQCmx6B/Large

This excavation in response to the sinkhole was attended to remarkably 
quickly, actually.  What caused the sink to begin with was a broken 
sewage line, I'm told by one of the workmen.  In the process of digging

a gas line was ruptured (glad I didnt know that before!) which has been
repaired and the folks on that side of the street are supposed to have 
gas service back tonight.  The sewage conduit is 100 years old and made 
of brick, my source said.


Today was the first time I could see the May Day sign in the same light
as the rest of the scene.

Just a wee bit of photo journalism.

There is a local contract dispute going on at Con Ed... The workers were 
locked out by management (sunday ?  I think Sunday midnight) and

work is being done by management -  I think the guy I talked to today
was a management guy, given the dispute is not settled yet.

Hey all.

Just getting back from a great weekend at the Bro laws cottage on Lake
Nippising. Good company, weather fishing and cold beer. Not a bad way
to celebrate Canada's 145th birthday.

Any way here is a photo dot net gallery of some new shots. The first 7
are from this weekend past.

For the The water shots of Lennox, i went in the lake up to my chin to
get some level floaty shots.

Hi Everyone:

It's 10:15 p.m. Chicago time, and Darrel  I just finished unpacking from our 
glorious U.K. trip.  There just aren't enough superlatives to describe the 
beautiful trip we had visiting our UK PDMLers.  I shall give a full report with 
pics later in the week, but for now, I'll just say it was a super trip, and our 
UK PDMLers are fantastic!!!


Darrel  I send the biggest thanks possible!!!

Pics to come.

Big cheers, Christine

Unfortunately, both broken tubes were reference samples. $$$ The good

none of this actually affects me.  ;-)

The autosampler on our NMR (like an MRI but with a smaller hole) has
broken a few sample tubes in the past week, and this is a huge
nuisance because we need to remove a big piece of sensitive tech to
clean it out.  I was trying to take pictures with the Q to send to the
company, but when I got too close the LCD would just lose the picture
but still show the info, just like when the lens cap is still on.  I
guess the magnetic field just affects the sensor?  Anyway, since the
field has a funny shape I moved back and around until I could get some
shots.  The first is the magnet with a lovely Vermeer print on the
back wall:

 Thanks for all of the feedback and thanks for being patient with me
 filling up the list the last few weeks.  Even though the project was
 interesting and I learned a lot, I may not have had the discipline to
 keep up the daily regimen if I hadn't added the public posting
 component.
 
 I've also been working on a photo project documenting St. Bridget's
 Church. This is one of several beautiful churches in town.  I suspect
 this project is going to keep me busy for the next several months.  I
 started laying out the book yesterday. That helped solidify the
 remaining work so I could build a work schedule.
 
 There are a few experimental and candidate shots with descriptive text
 from an existing brochure in the link below.  This gallery just
 scratches the surface.  There are 14 major stained glass windows, each
 with a different liturgical symbolism.  There are about 70 items on
 the shot list.  Given that I can only shoot a few on each visit, this
 is going to take a while.

This excavation in response to the sinkhole was attended to remarkably 
quickly, actually.  What caused the sink to begin with was a broken 
sewage line, I'm told by one of the workmen.  In the process of digging
a gas line was ruptured (glad I didnt know that before!) which has been
repaired and the folks on that side of the street are supposed to have 
gas service back tonight.  The sewage conduit is 100 years old and made 
of brick, my source said.

Today was the first time I could see the May Day sign in the same light
as the rest of the scene.

Just a wee bit of photo journalism.

There is a local contract dispute going on at Con Ed... The workers were 
locked out by management (sunday ?  I think Sunday midnight) and
work is being done by management -  I think the guy I talked to today
was a management guy, given the dispute is not settled yet.
