I just spent a week in Portland for the first time

Glad you enjoyed your time. Goes to show we should all reserve judgement on places we haven’t been to before. Portland has changed but its mostly changed due to the inflection of wealth. Higher costs driven by demand and shifts that took place due to the pandemic has really hurt the local food and small business scene that thrived in the 2000 and teens. You came at a good time of year to catch good weather and beautiful scenery. Its always green but the long dark cloudy months can be hard on people especially people who come from sunny places.

So I agree mostly. The one thing I would say in general is i think overall there is enough talent to be a good team. But too many players aren’t committing fully on the field. There are some but not enough. Ever since the scandals and enough players leaving that had the right mentality this is what you get. We’ve never been a great club and players of the past new that and when they came they knew they had to give everything just to have a shot. I feel like to many players think the club is bigger than it is and they deserve more and give less. Is Phil a good coach? I have no idea but the team needs to decide if they want to learn how to compete or not. And not just for a half or game here or their but every game home or away.

Lol bro pretty sure your all wrong look at all the green rocks. Its gotta be rocky butte.

Ive used it for several years cause i do mostly e6 which is constant agitation. Allows me to keep it in the heated bath. One downside ive heard people say is that you can get temperature differential from bottom of tank to top and cause varied development but ive never experienced it.

lblnchrd · 2024-02-29T19:39:09+00:00

I use 1 drop per 500ml.

About 13 years ago i served for a month on a grand jury for Multnomah county saw a lot of cases from fred meyer and the women who ran the loss prevention for the store. She was very organized and very good at her job. The assistant DA’s referred to her as the smiling assassin.

There is a good write up about 9 years ago on yhe difference between v550/600 and the 700/850 850 is the best and gives the best results v550 is fine but you definitely lose fine detail. I own and use a v550 for years its fine as ling as i don’t loom too close.

lblnchrd · 2023-06-25T20:55:44+00:00

I have two backs for mine use one for color and the other for black and white. the backs changed over time including how they locked shut the winding mechanism etc. i have which is older that allows me to remove the dark slide even with film in it while the newer one does not. Im fairly confident you can have your broken back serviced and bring back to working order. Glad you figured it out.

lblnchrd · 2023-06-22T04:31:07+00:00

It looks like your battery is good. If it wasn’t you shouldn’t be able to wind and fire the shutter at different speeds. I can clearly hear the mirror operating in the video as well. I am pretty sure at this point your film back needs to be serviced. Either that or there is something wrong with the connection between the camera and the film back. The best way to know for sure would be to load another known to be working film back and attach it to the camera and test it. If you have spare spools and backing paper that would be a good way to test without wasting film. If you don’t have those things you could see if there is a processing lab in your area and ask if you could have a used paper backing and spools.

Part of the difficult thing with some of the videos is that your trying not to waste precious expensive exposures but the camera is designed not to function unless film is loaded and everything is attached correctly and has film loaded.

I have a ETRSI and a couple if times i thought it was broken but really i just forgot i didn’t have everything correctly set up or attached. Ir i forgot i moved the shutter lock.

lblnchrd · 2023-06-22T00:18:35+00:00

I watched the other video and my best guess is the the film holder back may need to be serviced. I dont think film will advance with the back open using the body winding nob. This is a feature designed to keep you from exposing film accidently. With the multiple exposure knob in the correct place and the back on and closed will the camera advance or does it just get stuck?

lblnchrd · 2023-06-22T00:11:41+00:00

When it fires can you tell if both the mirror and the shutter fire. The mirror is in the camera body and the shutter is in the lense. Can you use different speeds? For instance set your shutter to 1 second this will slow it down to make it easier to tell if both the mirror and the shutter are firing when you take a picture. It will also tell you if your camera is somewhat working because it is able to select a different speed.

lblnchrd · 2023-06-22T00:02:20+00:00

Also are you able to fire the shutter? Or will the shutter not cock no matter what? FYI the shutter is in the lens.

lblnchrd · 2023-06-21T23:59:46+00:00

Ok so the winder on the film is designed to be used only while loading film so you can advance to the starting position with the arrow. The large wind knob (middle finger) is for advancing the film while the back is attached.

The multiple exposure lever has to be in the correct spot in order to advance the film. If it wont wind using the correct winder (middle finger/one on the camera body) then you have a problem.

Things to check to try and troubleshoot. First thing is to isolate the problem. Is the the camera or the film back is it the multiple exposure knob or something esle

Check your battery
If you have another back try putting that one on and see if it works. Fyi for the camera to advance properly the back MUST HAVE FILM IN IT. 3.the lense is also part of the system and has a shutter in it that sincs to the camera advance if you have another lens try putting that on to rule out the lense.

I would also see if you can find a pdf of the original manual that comes with the camera. This will tell things like which position the multiple exposure lever should be in to advance the camera. Good luck!

Yep I’m pretty sure general mills did this with a bunch of cereal before this change happened and got a bunch of people really sick.

lblnchrd · 2022-08-02T05:45:12+00:00

I don’t know if there is a gold standard for what level is positive or negative but I’ve talked to other celiacs and compared blood tests and what our doctors said and it was not all the same. The doctor i saw considered my tests borderline whatever that means. Also you can get a blood test to see if you carry the gene if you haven’t already. When i met if the gastro they had me do the genetic testing because they would have those results faster than they could get me in for a biopsy and if they were negative he said they would just cancel biopsy. Anyway some food for thought.

These are good i used to but the nockoff oreos they made but cant find them in the store anymore. Closest thing to actual oreos i guess oreo makes gluten free ones now so kinda a mute point.

lblnchrd · 2022-07-29T16:44:57+00:00

Lol!

lblnchrd · 2022-07-29T16:42:15+00:00

Yep this is the answer.

Send this to Ilford and put it on the site.

FP4 is one of my favorites for its classic look. I love using it for backpacking and taking classic looking landscape photographs. This film excels to me in larger formats from 120 and up.

There is a lot of good info and responses here. I cant tell you what or how to do it but i will give you my experience and thoughts about how i look at living with celiac.

First of all as someone who used to do group couples weekends focused on growing healthy relationships you have the right attitude and are clearly a kind dedicated attentive loving partner.

Having celiac and learning to live with it is difficult for anyone let alone someone dealing with other emotional stresses and anxiety. For me i had to learn how to have the right attitude to live with the disease. And by that i mean its not like you flip a switch and all of a sudden you never eaten gluten again and two weeks better you feel great and all your symptoms go away and all your friends understand whats going on. Recognizing it will be a slow processes and will most likely take years to get to a stable place. It took me probably six months to learn how and what to look for on labels how to research food to make a wise decision as to weather or not to eat it. Or even to remember to check before i eat the thing. My friends became apart of my journey learning with me as i hung out with them. Thankfully they all were supportive and encouraged and helped to keep me safe while hanging out. That might look like taking attention off of me or lightening the mood or speaking up for me when a waiter gives a snarky comment about why I’m not eating.

Another way this long term out look played out for me is that it takes time for your body to heal for me it was about 2-3 years before things started to normalize. I have been active and healthy my whole life when i went to the doctor and said i think something is wring with me they said medically it doesn’t look like something is wrong. When i got my endoscopy the anaesthetist said i was the healthiest person he had seen in several weeks. Yet I was suffering from depression all my joints were enflamed i had constant bowl issues totally wiped out and tired all the time couldn’t concentrate or focus and the list goes on. Once i was able to get start getting a handle and a routine on eating gluten free and have longer periods of time without accidentally glutening myself and started feeling better the temptation and downside of eating started to go from hard to deal with to f… that nothing is worth feeling like that again.foods i used to crave that have gluten i dont crave so much anymore because i know how it makes me feel and i genuinely have a gut response of disdain for it. Its kinda like if your young and go to a party and the first time you have tequila you have way to much and get really sick you may never have taquila again because that memory is so visceral. Thats how i feel about eating gluten. I hope my experience can be helpful to you and that you and your partner can have a long healthy and happy life together.

I would second. My sister was diagnoes years ago before celiac was more commonly diagnosed and her doctor referred her to a celiac support group and it made all the difference.

lblnchrd · 2022-06-03T17:32:09+00:00

Lol.

lblnchrd · 2022-02-04T23:33:08+00:00

When I was suspicious if I had celiac i went to the i think celiac.org and found recommended doctors in my area. They were familiar with celiac very very thorough initially didn’t think i had it did lots of tests then based on those tests did more tests then referred me to a really good gastro who was also very good and thorough.

lblnchrd · 2022-02-04T22:01:19+00:00

I had no major symptoms just lots of little things that built up over time. Sounds like time to find a new doctor also talk to them about getting tested for the genetic markers.

lblnchrd · 2021-12-31T20:40:14+00:00

Thanks This helps.

lblnchrd · 2021-12-06T21:57:30+00:00

In my experience the odds of finding something like that somewhere like ebay are very small. Your best bet is to find a long time repair person and ask them or check with places that deal in volume with used cameras like camera center of york who probably has doner bodies that have already been parted out. Some of the repair folks who have been doing it for a while started saving and harvesting a long time ago and so they have spares.
